B Thomas Dambo, an environmental artist in Denmark, thinks big. In 2010, he started his first large-scale project: building birdhouses. He and his crew ended up creating 4,000 of them. Now he makes giant trolls (巨怪). So far, 59 trolls can be found at locations all around the world. His creations are made entirely from items people have thrown away, such as discarded wooden pallets, old fencing, and broken sheds. It’s important to him that he doesn’t add to the growing landfills (垃圾填埋场) on our planet. He thinks of discarded items as art supplies and a source of inspiration. As a kid, Thomas wanted to build all sorts of things, from a skateboard ramp (坡道) to a tree house in his backyard. He had lots of energy and creativity. The problem was that a kid doesn’t have the money to purchase supplies. He started to bike around the neighborhood looking for discarded wood, rope, and other items to create things. In 7th grade, a girl in his class gave him a good piece of advice. She told him that he should take a different route each day to experience something new. Thomas took her idea and learned all about his city of Copenhagen, Denmark. Today, Thomas still uses this idea of taking different routes as he searches for trash left out on roadside. Items such as wire, ropes, wooden pallets, metal, old chair rollers, and plastic containers are just waiting for him to think of a way to use them. If the items are small, he uses “Tingfinder,” his bicycle with a cart attached, to take home his “treasures”. He uses a truck for the larger items. “My advice is to think about what you really love to do and let that guide you. Keep moving in the direction you’d like to go.” said Thomas. 24. Why does Thomas prefer to use discarded items for his art? A. They are cheaper than new materials. B. They are more useful and attractive. C. He wants to reduce waste. D. He can find them more easily. 25. What advice did a girl in Thomas’s class give? A. Save money by using second-hand supplies. B. Explore new paths to discover something fresh. 第 4 页 共 8 页 C. Focus on different ways to create things. D. Learn about his city before starting any project. 26. Which words can best describe Thomas? A. Adventurous and curious. B. Childish but imaginative. C. Changeable but hard-working. D. Responsible and creative. 27. What may be the best title for the passage? A. Sculpture: a unique hobby B. Trolls: a childhood dream C. Recycling: a creative journey D. Bicycling: an inspiring sport C Bacteria (细菌) know how to rough it out all over the earth. Ask most of them where they’d truly prefer to settle though, and a kitchen sponge (海绵) would probably top the list. Yes, it turns out that the very tool we use to clean our plates, which is warm, damp, and full of nutritious food pieces, is packed of tiny life. Lingchong You, a biologist at Duke University, along with his team, used computers to model the complex environment of a sponge for a 2022 study. He found that sponges featuring pockets of varying sizes are something that really matters for promoting bacterial growth. This holds significance as certain bacteria tend to grow independently while others demand the companionship of others. Within a sponge filled with holes and pockets, there exist such an abundance of diverse structures that everyone attains a state of satisfaction. Nevertheless, it does not necessarily follow that these tools present a health risk to us as well. Bacteria exist everywhere and not all are harmful; in fact, many perform vital jobs. The important question is, therefore, are the bacteria found in sponges even worth worrying about? In 2017, Jennifer Quinlan, a professor of food safety, and her colleagues, collected kitchen sponges from 100 homes, finding that only 1 – 2% of those sponges contained bacteria linked to food poisoning in humans and the ones that did contained only small amounts of harmful bacteria. “The vast majority of bacteria on sponges do not cause illness, and they’re just going to make them smell.” says Quinlan. “Having said that, there is a possibility that if you use a sponge to wipe up raw meat that you could have some of those disease-causing bacteria on there, and studies have found that those bacteria can be separated from kitchen sponges.” This is not the whole story yet. If dangerous bacteria happen to arrive on the scene, the sponge’s special make-up makes it an ideal place for them to grow and multiply. And there’s evidence that this is the case. 28. What can we learn from the first paragraph? A. Sponges are perfect tools in the kitchen. B. Bacteria prefer to live in dry environment. C. Kitchen sponges are good home for bacteria. D. Bacteria affect kitchen sponges’ performance. 29. What did Lingchong You find in his study? A. How sponges are exactly structured. B. What encourages bacterial growth. C. How bacteria react to the environment. D. Why bacteria keep company with each other. 30. What does Quinlan think of bacteria on sponges? A. Relatively harmless. B. Poorly adaptive, C. Surprisingly unpleasant. D. Widely distributed. 31. What will be probably discussed in the following paragraph? A. Proofs of bacterial threat. B. The classification of bacteria. C. Methods to control bacterial growth. D. Research into applications of bacteria. D At a crop breeding (培育) center in Shanghai, researchers have successfully harvested rice that was grown from seeds initially bred on China’s space station, Tiangong. The rice plants have completed a full growth cycle on Earth, maturing after more than 100 days since planting. This space-to-ground experiment began with 6 rice seeds sent into orbit in 2022 on the Wentian spacecraft. Taikonauts onboard Tiangong bred these seeds into 59, which they returned to Earth. Researchers then selected high-quality seeds, growing them under controlled climate conditions and producing around 10,000 new seeds. 第 5 页 共 8 页 Zheng Huiqiong, a lead researcher at the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ Center, shared that the team’s findings suggest space-bred seeds can reproduce effectively on Earth, suggesting potential for future space agriculture. Zheng highlighted that the space-bred rice possesses unique traits, such as a higher sugar content, with sugar levels estimated to be five to six times higher than standard rice. The space-bred rice also showed a slight increase in protein content. “That means space-bred rice tastes sweeter and has more energy,” she added. Space breeding, the method used in this experiment, exposes seeds to space radiation and microgravity, generating gene mutations (基因突变 ). These mutations are carefully assessed upon the seeds’ return to Earth, sometimes resulting in advantageous traits like shorter growth times, improved disease resistance, and higher output. Zhao Hui, an expert in China Academy of Space Technology, emphasized the safety of space-bred food, explaining that unlike genetically modified crops, space-bred seeds naturally mutate without introducing foreign genes. However, the space-bred rice has fewer leaves, which complicates close planting. Researchers are planning further studies to understand these leaf traits and explore possible genetic changes. The Tiangong rice experiment marked a milestone for crop science, as it was the first time that rice had completed a full life cycle — from seed germination to reproduction — in orbit. 32. What can we know about the space-to-ground experiment? A. Seeds grown in orbit promise higher crop quality. B. Seeds bred in space were further grown successfully on Earth. C. New species of seeds grown in space have achieved great success. D. Climate conditions were controlled when seeds were sent into orbit. 33. What does the underlined words “traits” mean in paragraph 3? A. Materials. B. Arrangements. C. Characteristics. D. Disadvantages. 34. What does Zhao Hui stress about the space-bred rice? A. Its security. B. Its artificial process. C. Its nutrition. D. Its major shortcoming. 35. Which of the following is the best title? A. Organic Farming: High-quality Planting in Space B. Space Exploration: A Journey to the Space and Beyond C. New Planting Approach: Replacing the Traditional Farming D. Space-to-ground Cycle: Promising Future Space Agriculture 第二节(共 5小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Being a teenager can be difficult, since you’re dealing with hormones, higher expectations, and the process of finding your place in the world. But that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy the teen years. 36 Setting Realistic Expectations Avoid media-based expectations, good or bad. 37 Although adolescence is a time of great change, this does not necessarily mean it will be the most difficult time of your life. If you are worried that this new life stage will be full of ever-present drama, the truth is that this is just another stage of your life which you will get through as much as you did in childhood long ago. Developing Yourself Develop your sense of self, focusing more on your own thoughts and goals, instead of what other people think. For lots of people, the teenage years are full of worries — stop paying so much attention to them! 38 Go ahead and do what you want to do, without considering the opinion of others. Developing Relationships Work to improve your social skills. Some teens have trouble with social interaction, with the reasons behind it varying. Since social interaction is necessary in order to succeed, it’s important to learn how to deal with shyness and social anxiety. 39 It may not replace new social exchanges, but it’s a good practice. 第 6 页 共 8 页 40 That’s just a fact of life. However, if you don’t enjoy your teens, concentrate on being kind to others and getting through it. A. Others expect too much from us. B. Remember, not everyone enjoys their teens. C. All of us are able to experience an enjoyable adolescence. D. Here are some things you can do to enjoy your teenage years. E. Many worries are based on what other people think, rather than what you think. F. Being a teenager is not necessarily any easier or more difficult than any other life stage. G. Consider working with a friend or a family member of close age to develop your social skills. 第三部分 语言运用 (共两节，满分 30分) 第一节 (共 15小题；每小题 1分，满分 15分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的 A、B、C和 D 四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 When I was 15, I thought I had it all figured out. I was a straight-A student, the captain of the soccer team, and had a close-knit group of friends. But during a match, I suffered a 41 injury — a torn ACL. The doctor said I wouldn’t be able to play for at least a year. For someone whose identity was tied to being an 42 , this felt like the end of the world. The months that followed were dark.

I also took up new hobbies, like painting and writing, which helped me express my 48 . But the 49 change came when I decided to face my fear of failure head-on. I joined a support group for teens dealing with injuries, and through that, I met others who were 50 similar struggles. 51 my story and hearing theirs made me realize I wasn’t alone. A year later, I was cleared to play soccer again. But by then, I had grown so much that the game no longer 52 me. I played because I loved it, not because I needed it to feel 53 . Looking back, I realize my injury was one of the best things that ever happened to me. It forced me to 54 my fears, to grow in ways I never thought possible, and to discover strengths I didn’t know I had. I learned that life isn’t about avoiding 55 — it’s about how you climb back up. 41. A. minor B. emotional C. permanent D. severe 42. A. artist B. musician C. athlete D. writer 43.

To most, it might seem harmless, but to me, it was a trigger. In my town, a Ping-Pong table on a lawn isn’t just for games — it’s a beer-pong table, a symbol of late-night noise and chaos. Years ago, my husband and I lived near the university, surrounded by students who turned beer pong into a lifestyle. The thumping bass and laughter kept us awake night after night. We eventually moved to a quieter neighborhood, at great expense, to 第 8 页 共 8 页 escape it. So, when I saw that table, memories of those sleepless nights flooded back. Anger boiled inside me, hot and uncontrollable. I marched over, past the table, and knocked on the student’s door. I demanded he remove it, expecting him to apologize. “Who are you to tell me what to do?” he shot back. His words only fueled my anger. I yelled things I didn’t mean, my voice sharp with profanity (脏话). My husband, sensing trouble, pulled me away before things escalated(升级) further. The rest of the day, I seethed (强忍怒火). But by morning, shame replaced anger. I shuddered as I replayed the confrontation in my mind. Why couldn’t I keep my cool? Why did I let something so trivial ignite me? I’ve always struggled with anger — it runs in my family — but I’ve worked hard to change. Therapy, meditation, journaling — I’ve tried them all. Yet, there I was, yelling at a stranger over a Ping-Pong table. I knew I had to make it right. I turned to what I do best: baking. I pulled out a batch of frozen peanut butter chocolate chunk cookie dough I’d made weeks earlier. The dough balls were my secret weapon, ready to transform into warm, comforting cookies at a moment’s notice. As the cookies baked, the house filled with their sweet, buttery smell. I let them cool, then arranged them on a plate, my hands trembling. 注意： （1）续写词数应为 150词左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I walked across the street, past the offending table, and knocked on the student’s door. As I walked home, I felt lighter, as if a weight had been lifted. 智学大联考•皖中名校联盟 合肥八中 2024-2025 学年第二学期高一年级期中检测 英语试题卷 英语卷参考答案与评分标准 第一部分:听力(共两节, 满分 30分) 1～5 BABCA 6～10 ACACA 11～15 ACBCB 16～20 CBCBA 第二部分:阅读理解(共两节, 满分 35分) 21～23 DBD 24～27 CBDC 28～31 CBAA 32～35 BCAD 36～40 DFEGB 第三部分:语言运用(共两小节, 满分 45分) 41～45 DCABD 46～50 CBCBA 51～55 DCDDB 56. rapidly; 57. which; 58. has grown; 59. or; 60. development; 61. as; 62.

The exhibition is being held at the City Art Museum from April 1st to April 30th. With the theme “Charms of Chinese Traditional Art”, it showcases a wide range of art forms including calligraphy, paintings and ceramics. Among them, a painting named “Dawn” deeply impressed me. It was painted by a famous Chinese artist in the Tang Dynasty, depicting a breathtaking scene of the sunrise over the mountains. The use of colors and the brushwork were really astonishing, making me feel like I was in the ancient times. Visiting this art exhibition was a really meaningful experience for me. It not only gave me a deeper insight of my own culture but also filled me with pride for the rich artistic heritage our country has. I could feel the wisdom and creativity of the ancient artists through their works, and it inspired me a lot. I do hope you can come and experience it yourself someday. Best regards, Li Hua 第二节 读后续写 One possible version: I walked across the street, past the offending table, and knocked on the student’s door. He answered, his expression a mix of surprise and wariness. This time, I took a deep breath to calm my nerves before speaking. “Hi,” I began hesitantly, holding out the plate of cookies. “I’m sorry about yesterday. I overreacted and said something I didn’t mean. I hope we can put this behind us.” He looked at the cookies, then at me, and after a moment, his face softened. “Thank you,” he said, taking the plate. “I’m sorry too. I should have been more understanding.” he replied sincerely. We shared an awkward yet genuine smile, and in that moment, the tension between us dissipated. As I walked home, I felt lighter, as if a weight had been lifted. The fresh batch of cookies served not only as a peace offering but also as a reminder of the power of kindness and understanding. The student and I exchanged occasional waves after that day, a silent acknowledgment of our newfound respect for each other. Whenever I saw the Ping-Pong table, it no longer symbolized annoyance; instead, it reminded me of the importance of addressing conflicts with empathy and patience. And so, what started as an angry confrontation turned into a valuable life lesson, teaching me that even the smallest acts of compassion can bridge gaps and turn foes into friends. 【答案详解】 第一部分:听力(共两节, 满分 30分) 第二部分:阅读理解(共两节, 满分 35分) A 【答案】21.

(他的作品完全是用人们扔掉的东西做成的，比如废弃的木托盘、旧围栏和破碎的棚屋。 对他来说，重要的是不要增加我们星球上日益增长的垃圾填埋场。他认为被丢弃的物品是艺术用品和灵感 的来源。)”可知，Thomas是一个有创造力的人，他的作品完全是用人们扔掉的东西做成的；同时，他也是 一个有责任感的人，他不想增加地球上越来越多的垃圾填埋场，因此选择使用被丢弃的物品进行艺术创作， 而且建造大量鸟舍。因此，最能描述 Thomas的词语是“有责任感和创造力”。故选 D。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是由文章第二段“His creations are made entirely from items people have thrown away, such as discarded wooden pallets, old fencing, and broken sheds. It’s important to him that he doesn’t add to the growing landfills (垃圾填埋场) on our planet. He thinks of discarded items as art supplies and a source of inspiration. (他的作品完全是用人们扔掉的东西做成的，比如废弃的木托盘、旧围栏和破碎的棚屋。对他来 说，重要的是不要增加我们星球上日益增长的垃圾填埋场。他认为被丢弃的物品是艺术用品和灵感的来源。)” 可知，文章主要讲述了丹麦环保艺术家 Thomas Dambo使用被丢弃的物品进行艺术创作的故事，他通过回 收和再利用这些物品，创作出了许多令人惊叹的艺术作品。因此，最能概括文章主旨的标题是“Recycling: a creative journey (回收：一段创意之旅)”。故选 C。 C 【答案】28. C 29. B 30. A 31. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了细菌在厨房海绵中的生存情况，包括细菌的生长环境、种类、 对人类的潜在影响以及海绵的特殊结构如何成为细菌生长的理想场所。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Bacteria (细菌) know how to rough it out all over the earth. Ask most of them where they’d truly prefer to settle though, and a kitchen sponge (海绵) would probably top the list. Yes, it turns out that the very tool we use to clean our plates, which is warm, damp, and full of nutritious food pieces, is packed of tiny life.(细菌知道如何在地球上的各个地方顽强生存。不过，要是问它们最想在哪里定居，厨房海绵可 能会高居榜首。没错，事实证明，我们用来清洗盘子的这个工具，温暖、潮湿，还满是富有营养的食物碎 屑，其实充满了微小的生命。)”可知，大多数细菌它们真正想在哪里定居，厨房海绵可能会排在首位，事 实证明，我们用来清洗盘子的这个温暖、潮湿且充满营养食物碎屑的工具，充满了微小的生命（细菌）。 由此可知，厨房海绵是细菌的好家园。故选 C。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“He found that sponges featuring pockets of varying sizes are something that really matters for promoting bacterial growth.(他发现，海绵上那些大小各异的孔隙对于促进细菌生长至关重 要。)”可知，Lingchong You发现不同大小孔隙的海绵对促进细菌生长起着重要作用，也就是他发现了什 么能促进细菌生长。故选 B。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“In 2017, Jennifer Quinlan, a professor of food safety, and her colleagues, collected kitchen sponges from 100 homes, finding that only 1 – 2% of those sponges contained bacteria linked to food poisoning in humans and the ones that did contained only small amounts of harmful bacteria. “The vast majority of bacteria on sponges do not cause illness, and they’re just going to make them smell.” says Quinlan.(2017年，食品安全领域的教授 Jennifer Quinlan和她的同事们从 100个家庭中收集了厨房海绵，发 现这些海绵中只有 1%到 2%含有与人类食物中毒相关的细菌，而且确实含有有害细菌的海绵中，有害细菌 的含量也很少。Quinlan说：“海绵上绝大多数细菌不会致病，它们只是会让海绵产生异味。)”可知，Quinlan 认为海绵上绝大多数细菌不会引发疾病，只有极少数海绵含有与人类食物中毒有关的细菌，而且这些细菌 的含量也很少，所以她认为海绵上的细菌相对无害。故选 A。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“This is not the whole story yet. If dangerous bacteria happen to arrive on the scene, the sponge’s special make-up makes it an ideal place for them to grow and multiply. And there’s evidence this is the case.(事情还不止如此。如果危险的细菌碰巧来到了海绵上，海绵特殊的构造会使它成为这些细菌 生长和繁殖的理想场所。而且有证据表明情况确实如此。)”可知，由于最后一段提到有证据表明危险细菌 会在海绵上生长繁殖，所以接下来很可能会讨论细菌威胁的证据具体是什么。故选 A。 D 【答案】32. B 33. C 34. A 35. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了太空到地面的水稻种植实验，该实验对未来太空农业有重要意 义。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“This space-to-ground experiment began with 6 rice seeds sent into orbit in 2022 on the Wentian spacecraft. Taikonauts onboard Tiangong bred these seeds into 59, which they returned to Earth. Researchers then selected high-quality seeds, growing them under controlled climate conditions and producing around 10,000 new seeds.(这项空对地实验始于 2022年由“问天号”飞船将 6颗水稻种子送入轨道。天宫号 上的宇航员将这些种子培育成 59颗，并将它们送回了地球。然后，研究人员挑选出高质量的种子，在可 控的气候条件下种植，生产出大约 1万颗新种子)” 可知，在太空培育的种子回到地球后被进一步种植， 故选 B。 【33题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“such as a higher sugar content, with sugar levels estimated to be five to six times higher than standard rice(比如含糖量较高，其含糖量估计是标准大米的 5到 6倍)”可知，“traits” 指太空 培育水稻的独特特点，如高糖含量、蛋白质含量增加等。故选 C。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Zhao Hui, an expert in China Academy of Space Technology, emphasized the safety of space-bred food, explaining that unlike genetically modified crops, space-bred seeds naturally mutate without introducing foreign genes.(中国空间技术研究院专家赵辉强调了太空培育食品的安全性，他解释说，与转基 因作物不同，太空培育的种子在不引入外源基因的情况下会自然变异)”可知，赵辉强调的是太空培育水稻 的安全性，故选 A。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“At a crop breeding (培育) center in Shanghai, researchers have successfully harvested rice that was grown from seeds initially bred on China’s space station, Tiangong.(在上海的一个作物育 种中心，研究人员成功收获了由中国空间站天宫号培育的种子培育而成的水稻)”可知，文章主要讲述了太 空到地面的水稻种植实验，该实验对未来太空农业有重要意义。由此可知，D选项 “天地循环：有前景 的未来太空农业”适合作本文最佳标题。故选 D。 【答案】36.

Text 10 W: ⑧From Austria to Vietnam, 32 destinations from 18 countries have been named the "Best Tourism Villages 2022" by the World Tourism Organization (UNWTO). Two Chinese villages have been named as the "Best Tourism Villages 2022". One of them is Jingzhu in Chongqing. ⑲Jingzhu is a village located on Fairy Mountain in Wulong, Chongqing. To preserve its original appearance and traditions, the village set aside a special area, named Guiyuan, or "Return to Origin", as a public space where traditions such as bamboo weaving, paper cutting and local food production techniques can be shared. ⑲The village's most typical tradition is bamboo weaving, as it makes use of the most commonly found materials around the village. The village's distinct four seasons, forests, grasslands and valleys are appreciated by many tourists. Each summer, teenagers from other countries also come to the village for international summer camps. In Guiyuan, villagers also established shared cultural spaces for themselves and tourists by building a library and an exhibition hall. The tourism development of Jingzhu has created 312 jobs.
