It’s a very important traditional celebration in the country. Naghol — Vanuatu Dates: Every Saturday from April to May Every year, villagers come together to celebrate the harvest of yams (甘薯), an important part in the people’s diet in Vanuatu.

I wanted to study a communications (传播学) and learn how things work in the music industry.” explained Monica. This is a young lady who knows what she wants and is putting in the effort to achieve it. Born a Jersey girl, Monica knew she was made to be in New York. With the overpowering support Monica receives from her hometown, it’s obvious that such a backbone helps her step into the studio.

I just love music that makes you feel like your whole soul is pouring out of your body.”voiced Monica. For a 21-year-old, Monica possesses the passion of someone who’s been writing music forever. Her musical style, with a heavy diet of that old rock and roll music, shares some similar features with 90s music. When the Jersey girl isn’t in her usual studio, you can find Monica hanging around, going to shows and enjoying the beauty of inspiration all around NYC． In late spring, Monica hopes to schedule a variety of shows to promote her new EP. While you still can, you simply cannot miss out on hearing this wonderfully talented rock star. 4．Why did Bianca Monica go to New York City? A．To enjoy a journey. B．To seek her dream.

Called kuaizi in Chinese, chopsticks were developed in China about 5,000 years ago. Often made of wood, chopsticks allow users to pick up pieces of food by holding together and releasing (松开) the sticks with the thumb and first three fingers. Before the invention of chopsticks, the Chinese used only their hands to eat. One reason why chopsticks were invented is that eating with one’s hands allowed some people to take more food than others. This was considered rude, so using chopsticks, which limited the amount of food that could be taken at one time, was thought to be a more polite practice. Another one was about the great Chinese philosopher Confucius, who was a vegetarian(素食主义者). He objected to the use of knives at the table, feeling that they reminded eaters of the slaughterhouse (屠宰场), so he preferred chopsticks. At first, chopsticks were used only by nobles (贵族). Later on, during the Western Han Dynasty, which began in 202 BC, commoners (平民) began to use chopsticks as well. At that time, people used chopsticks only to eat side dishes; spoons were used for rice and for soups. During the Northern Song Dynasty, which lasted from AD 960 to 1127, noodles became a popular dish. It is very difficult to eat noodles with a spoon, so chopsticks were used more often. Today, chopsticks are the main eating tool in China, Japan, and Vietnam; and people from countries all over the world commonly use this tool while eating Asian dishes. 8. What is the second paragraph mainly about? A. The popularity of chopsticks. B. The process of making chopsticks. C. The method of using chopsticks. D. The reasons for inventing chopsticks. 9. What does the underlined phrase “objected to” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Led to B. Was against C. Believed in D. Agreed with 10. Who first began to use chopsticks? A. Philosophers. B. Common people. C. Nobles. D. Vegetarians. 11. When did eating with chopsticks become common? A. After noodles became popular. B. Just before forks came into use. C. During the Western Han Dynasty. D. Before the Northern Song Dynasty. 揭东区第二中学 2024-2025 学年第二学期高一级期中考试英语试题 第 4页（共 8 页） D The Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region is an important ecological screen (生态屏障) for the north of China and even the whole country. Building a green great wall to ensure China’s ecological security is one of the most important things of the Autonomous Region. As the largest ecological function zone in the north of China, Inner Mongolia has a variety of landscapes, including forests, grasslands, wetlands, rivers and lakes. In recent years, the region’s environment has improved, with its forest and grassland areas having increased and desert(沙漠 ) reduced. However, it still faces a number of challenges in ecological preservation(生态保护 ). For instance, the region faces severe water shortages with the number of lakes dropping from 427 in 1987 to 145 in 2010. In addition to a lack of rainfall, huge water consumption (消耗) in agricultural and industrial production has worsened the water shortage. Too much use of fertilizers (化肥) has damaged the soil and affected the growth of grass, accelerating the expansion of the desert. The local government encourages planting trees on grasslands as they can get more pay by growing trees than grass. However, the trees they plant often have a low survival rate as they have a high water consumption rate. Also, to treat wetlands, some areas have planted a large number of a single tree species. This practice may damage biodiversity(生物多样性) and endanger the survival of certain animals. Experts suggest taking the region’s water resources and weather conditions into consideration in future ecological projects. 12. What do we know about the green great wall in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region? A. It adds the beautiful scenery to this area. B. It acts as a guard to protect the north of China. C. It works well in saving the endangered animals. D. It contributes to the decrease of grasslands. 13. What does the third paragraph mainly talk about? A. The causes of water shortages. B. The protection of ecological environment. C. The solutions to water shortages. D. The importance of ecological environment. 14. What does the underlined word “accelerating” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Weakening. B. Shortening. C. Lightening. D. Quickening. 15. What’s the writer’s attitude towards the government’s encouraging planting trees? A. Supportive. B. Subjective. C. Objective. D. Indifferent. 揭东区第二中学 2024-2025 学年第二学期高一级期中考试英语试题 第 5页（共 8 页） 第二节 (共 5小题；每小题 2.5分, 满分 12.5分) 根据短文内容, 从选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。其中有两项为多余选项。 Sleep is important for our physical and mental health. Getting enough sleep can improve our overall health and quality of life. However, many people struggle to get the recommended amount of sleep each night. 16 Get good exercise. Regular exercise is known to reduce stress and anxiety, improving the quality of sleep. Additionally, getting in a good workout can help regulate your sleep-wake cycle, making it easier to fall asleep and wake up at the same time each day. 17 It can increase your heart rate and body temperature, making it hard to fall asleep. 18 Creating a sleep-friendly environment is important for getting better sleep. Your bedroom should be cool, dark, and quiet. Keeping the room dark can help you fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer. Treat sleep apnea (睡眠呼吸暂停 ). Sleep apnea is a sleep disorder that affects millions of people worldwide. 19 It can lead to health problems such as high blood pressure. Treatment choices include lifestyle changes, such as sleeping on your back or weight loss. Avoid caffeine after 2 pm. Caffeine is a chemical substance found in coffee, tea, and cocoa, which affects your brain and body and makes you more active. 20 It can take several hours for the effects of caffeine to wear off, so make sure to avoid caffeine in the evening. A. Try sleep-monitoring apps. B. Increase the comfort of your bedroom. C. It is characterized(具有特点) by pauses in breathing during sleep. D. Fortunately, there are several ways to improve your sleep.

At an early age, she was crazy about singing. Whenever she had a chance, she would sing to her heart’s content. Her sweet and charming voice tended to get people around attracted to her songs. Living in a small city, I took several odd jobs(零工), determined to do everything in my power to support her. Soon after Jane attended school, her music teacher Mary noticed her talent by 揭东区第二中学 2024-2025 学年第二学期高一级期中考试英语试题 第 9页（共 8 页） chance and volunteered to give her some guidance on how to sing. Jane practiced so hard that before long she made great progress in singing. Unfortunately, one noon a year later, Jane was crossing the street when a careless driver knocked her down. She was rushed to hospital. When I hurried there, the doctor told me that my daughter would probably not stand on her own feet. I froze with shock, feeling as if I had been thrown into a dark world. Weak and dizzy（头晕）, I was about to fall to the ground when someone took hold of me. It was Mary, who got the news and raced here. She comforted me, saying firmly, “Grace, Jane needs you. You must stay calm and strong.” I nodded. Having calmed down, I entered the ward with Mary. That night, Jane recovered her consciousness (知觉) and opened her eyes. Holding her hand, I said, “My dear, everything would be fine.” Mary comforted her gently, “I know you are a strong girl, Jane. Don’t worry. We’ll be standing by you.” I was heartbroken to see tears streaming down Jane’s cheeks. After two months, we returned home from hospital. Her teachers and friends frequently visited her. Jane eventually(最终) accepted the fact that she would have to get around in a wheelchair(轮椅). Never did she refer to the subject of singing again. I knew she was a nice and understanding girl, who was afraid that talking about her original dream would upset the two of us. One day, however, Mary came with good news. She told Jane the school music festival was to be held the next month and that her classmates all expected her to sing on behalf of her class. Jane’s eyes sparkled but responded doubtfully, “Can I...?” Mary and I immediately assured her that she could make it. In the following month, with the help of Mary, Jane kept on practicing singing. Beautiful songs echoed in our house again and smiles began to appear on her face. Finally the big day came when she could present herself. 注意：1.续写词数应为 80词左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 揭东区第二中学 2024-2025 学年第二学期高一级期中考试英语试题 第 10页（共 8页） When the host announced it was Jane’s turn, she was wheeled onto the stage.______________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ 1 揭东区第二中学 2024-2025 学年第二学期高一级期中考试 英 语 答 案 I. 阅读（50 分） 1-3 BCD 4-7 BBDC 8-11 DBCA 12-15 BADC 16-20 DEBCF II. 语言知识及应用（30 分） 一、完形填空（15 分） 21-25BCADA 26-30BADCD 31-35BCADB 二、语法填空（15 分） 36.are celebrated 37. a 38. figures 39. traditional 40. to show 41.development 42. away 43. taking 44. if/when 45. surprised 第三部分课内基础知识考查（共两节，满分15 分） 第一节 46. satisfaction 47.ordinary 48.various 49. equipment 50. energy 51. absolutely 52. gather 53.grateful 54. significant 55.represent 第二节 56. written 57.preparing 58.

The Dragon Boat festival falls on the 5th day of the 5th lunar month. It has its origin in honoring Qu Yuan, a great poet who loved his country deeply. To celebrate it, people hold a variety of activities, ranging from dragon boat races to making zongzi—sticky rice wrapped in bamboo leaves, which symbolizes blessings. Besides, families gather to share joy and pass down traditions. More than just a holiday, the Dragon Boat festival reflects Chinese values – respect for history and love for family. I hope you can join us to experience this wonderful tradition. Thank you for listening. 第二节：读后续写（满分 10分） When the host announced it was Jane’s turn, she was wheeled onto the stage.
