Round everything (Philippines) Filipino culture celebrates the New Year by serving twelve different fruits. Apples, melons, oranges, and grapes are popular picks, but any round fruit will do. The round produce stands for wealth for each month of the upcoming year. Locals also wear clothes with polka dots (圆点图案) on them and fill their pockets with round coins. Throwing paper out the window (Argentina) The pieces of coloured paper will fly through the streets of Buenos Aires around lunchtime on December 31. The reason behind the custom is that Argentines throw out all their old documents and papers before the curtain falls on the year to show they’re leaving the past behind. It’s hardly the most dangerous thing flying out of windows around the world on New Year’s, though — many other Latin American countries are fond of throwing buckets of water, while South Africans throw out their old tables, chairs, etc. onto the street from great heights. Breaking plates into pieces (Denmark) If you want to make a new Danish friend for the New Year, throw a plate against their door. The tradition is meant to bring the house owner good luck for the year ahead. Danes also jump off chairs to leap into the New Year, and stay glued to their TVs for Queen Margrethe’s yearly speech and a screening of black-and-white English language comedy Dinner for One (known in Denmark as The 90th Birthday), which is also popular in Germany. Eating grapes fast (Spain) In Spain, with 12 seconds remaining until the New Year, people eat 12 green grapes to bring good luck in the coming year. It’s considered to be bad luck if you can’t eat them all by the final midnight chime (钟声). Eat them down in time and 12 months of good luck will come your way. 21．How do people in Philippines celebrate the New Year? A．By wearing new clothes on the eve. B．By picking up twelve different kinds of fruits. C．By wishing for wealth in the upcoming year. D．By getting close to something round. 22．Why do Argentines throw out their old documents and papers on December 31? A．Because it is not the most dangerous custom. B．Because the curtain will fall on the new year. C．To leave the past year and welcome the new year. D．To bring the house owner good luck for the year ahead. 23．Which of the following is NOT a New Year tradition in Denmark? A．Eating 12 green grapes. B．Jumping off a chair. C．Listening to the Queen’s New Year speech. D．Throwing a plate against a new friend’s door. B When working as a foreign teacher in China, I taught English to my students and they taught me about China. One day the topic turned to saying “I love you”. I was shocked to learn that no one of my students had said this to their mothers, nor had their mothers said it to them. “Does your mom love you?” “Of course,” they answered. “How do you know?” was my logical question. They answered that their moms cooked and always told them what they were doing wrong to show their concern. I was surprised. “So Mom’s cooking and criticizing read out as ‘I love you’? Then how do you say ‘I love you’ to her?” They agreed that getting good grades and finding good jobs would be how they showed their love. I come from a country where most people are expressive enough, so I repeated these questions in classes over time. Gradually, I began to get different responses. Some of them had exchanged those feelings with their moms. One of my favorite stories of change came from a girl. When she came home from university, her mother met her at the door and hugged (拥抱) her. This had never happened before, but her mom said, “Now that you have gone, I have more time to myself. I noticed that in some places mothers and children hug each other and I decided it was a good idea and that I would begin hugging you.” In my family we all say “I love you” a lot. While it is true that we often say the words without having great depth (深刻) of feelings at that moment, it is almost like a blessing (祝福) we give each other. Those three little words carry a world of meaning, even when said as a greeting, but most especially if they are the last words we say to or hear from those we love. 24．Why was the foreign teacher shocked? A．Because the students’ moms don’t love them at all. B．Because all of the students don’t say “I love you” to their moms. C．Because her students don’t know the meaning of “I love you”. D．Because neither her students nor their moms say “I love you” to each other. 25．Chinese people prefer to show love by ________. A．buying gifts B．doing something meaningful C．saying “I love you” D．hugging each other 26．In Paragraph 4, what’s the real meaning of the mom’s hugging? A．She is meeting her daughter at the door. B．She loves her daughter and misses her. C．She finds it interesting to hug her daughter. D．She is glad that she has more time to herself. 27．What’s the main idea of the passage? A．Say “I love you” a lot to Chinese people. B．Say “I love you” as a greeting to others. C．Say “I love you” more to your family. D．Say “I love you” without great depth of feelings. C In a world featuring endless choices, the search for simplicity has become more than just a desire—it’s a necessity. The book Yes Means Yes, Everything Else Means No explores the philosophy of simplicity and decision-making. Written by Bruce Mullen, this book goes beyond self-help clichés (陈词滥调) and offers a genuine, actionable approach to guiding life’s choices. The book recognizes decision-making as the centre of human existence and invites readers to admit each decision carries a weight. “Yes Means Yes, Everything Else Means No” sums up a sign if can’t rule — a definite “Yes” and a clear “No.” It encourages readers to focus on the “Yes” and stop readers from putting their effort into uncertain things. Another rule stressed in the book is simplicity in decision-making. By adopting simplicity, decision-makers aim to get the key information, focus on the most related factors, and avoid unnecessary aspects, enabling quicker judgments and swifter conclusions. The book is a practical guide to strengthen decision-making skills. The author doesn’t merely express the philosophy but equips readers with the tools they need to apply effectively. From techniques to give preference to tasks to methods for avoiding distractions (分心), the book offers skills for simplifying the decision-making process. Through personal experiences, Mullen determined the power of simplification, guiding people to make decisions according to one’s own values and desires. Beyond individual context, this book also influences business strategies, relationship dynamics, and social considerations. Mullen not only explores the essence of “yes means yes” but stresses the significance of making clear decisions at a crossroads. “Yes Means Yes, Everything Else Means No” is more than a book; it’s a philosophy that can change how we approach decisions. For those seeking to guide life with clarity and purpose, this book is a guiding light in the fog of in decision. 28. What are the readers encouraged to do according to paragraph 2? A. Concentrate on related things. B. Sum up a simple judgement. C. Solve uncertain matters. D. Make decisions independently. 29. Why is the book a practical guide to readers? A. To equip readers with decision-making skills. B. To help readers express their philosophy. C. To improve readers’ critical thinking ways. D. To provide readers with life techniques. 30. What is paragraph 4 of the text mainly about? A. Application of simplicity. B. Rules of making decisions. C. Impacts of decision-making. D. Benefits of stressing simplicity. 31. What is the article aimed at? A. Sharing an approach of decision-making. B. Recommending a book. C. Describing a simple lifestyle. D. Solving philosophical problems. D A red bus took visitors along the streets of New York City’s Roosevelt Island. But this wasn’t a typical sightseeing tour. Passengers all wore virtual reality headsets (虚拟现实头戴设备) for an eye-opening experience. This experience was designed to engage (使参与) visitors in creative ways through a new system called CXR. Passengers were transported into a place where virtual and real environments met. There they experienced nine shocking scenes showing the influence of climate change, especially rising floodwaters. Scientific models suggest that a 100-year flood could cover most of Roosevelt Island. Despite the warning, research shows that such a disaster doesn’t feel real to many in the public. This discrepancy is exactly what the CXR system aims to deal with. The technology helps people understand serious challenges like climate change. The participants can experience a shared reality while traveling through their environment. And the CXR system proved to do more than just educate people about disaster risks. After seeing the most serious flooding events, participants reported strong emotional responses. Many expressed increased concern about climate change and a desire to do something. One participant was even moved to tears upon seeing a flood reach the steps of her school. “These types of reactions were not surprising,” said Wendy Ju, whose research group created CXR. “We did find that people got worried, but we also noted that the worry seemed to inspire people to take measures. It’s a good result from our viewpoint.” The CXR system has many possible applications beyond its original plan. It can play an important role in city planning by engaging communities in discussions about new developments. By providing a clear and realistic presentation of suggested changes, it helps to reduce misunderstandings. This encourages people to actively express their opinions about approaches to future planning. “Immersive (沉浸式的) technologies can bring future challenges into focus,” Ju said. “They are important for building the social will to prepare for what lies ahead.” 32．What is the original function of the CXR system? A．To encourage public transportation use. B．To increase the enjoyment of tours. C．To teach flood prevention measures. D．To raise awareness of climate issues. 33．What does the underlined word “discrepancy” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A．Goal. B．Request. C．Difference. D．Method. 34．Which can best describe the experience with the CXR system? A．Adventurous and joyful. B．Educational and inspiring. C．Confusing and stressful. D．Realistic and relaxing. 35．How can the CXR system generally benefit city planning? A．By driving cooperative problem-solving. B．By stressing the need for green spaces. C．By focusing on short-term solutions. D．By reducing overall planning costs. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多 余选项。 Whether you’re an experienced dog handler or a little careful about dogs, it can be difficult to read a dog’s complex language. How do you know if the dog wants to greet you or tell you to back off ? 36 A content and relaxed dog will have its ears up (not forward) and head high. 37 Your relaxed dog’s mouth opens slightly with tongue exposed. If you are still unsure of whether to approach, go slowly and make no sudden moves. Don’t make too much eye contact and slowly extend the back of your hand for the dog to sniff (嗅) first before patting. After this welcome interaction, dogs may raise their tails and lower front paws (爪子). 38 This position will be held briefly before they rush off in random(任意的) directions to get you to chase and to play with them. They stick out their tongues. Their ears will be up. This is your chance to have a run with your partner. 39 They show more teeth, bark more loudly and hide the tails between their legs. They are ready to attack when annoyed. Be careful of these unusual gestures. These signals are expressed as they directly face their source of “threat”. A dog that is under social or environmental stress will pace about with the tail down, the body lowered and ears back. Its breath will also be rapid with eyes expanded. 40 In this case, try to work out the source of its stress. If you can’t change that right away, a calming massage (按摩) will help. A．This means it is playtime! B．Keep your voice low and calm. C．And it may leave sweat marks from its feet. D．The moods can be judged from their tails. E．The following is a handy dog body language guide. F．Sometimes dogs behave in an angry and violent way. G．Although a happy dog will have its tail high, a relaxed dog’s tail will be hanging. 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。 The earthquake was over and the city was in ruins.

The moment we got off the plane in the late afternoon, we saw Uncle Zhang, a farmer whose house we had booked, welcoming us over there. He picked us up from the airport and drove us up to his farm. His wife, Aunt Liu cooked us a delicious dinner and we got to know his family. My dad and I spent the night in the guestroom of the farm house listening to the birds singing in the grasslands. Very early in the morning, Uncle Zhang woke us up to have breakfast. “The day starts at dawn on my farm,” he said. After breakfast, my dad began to ride horses with Uncle Zhang. In the afternoon, Uncle Zhang wondered if I would take a horse ride. I said I would if my dad accompanied me. So, my dad and I got on our horses, and headed slowly towards the distance. Soon after, Uncle Zhang’s farm was out of sight behind. After a long period, we stopped our horses, and began to enjoy the beautiful green grassland ahead. The cool wind was slightly blowing our face. Once in a while we could still hear some birds sing in the woods nearby. It was so peaceful and quiet. I had never been so relaxed before. 注意: 1. 续写词数应为100左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: Suddenly a little rabbit jumped out in front of my horse. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Paragraph 2: We had no idea where we were and it was getting dark.______________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$雅礼教育集团2025年上期期中考试 高一英语试卷 （参考答案） 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分 30分） 1.

Therefore, it is particularly important to protect the Earth. From my point of view, I think it useful to lead a low-carbon life. Firstly, when we have a need to go out, we may as well take public transport, such as riding bikes. By riding a bike, we can not only exercise our body but also protect our environment. Besides, as for green living, we can sort the garbage. In this way, garbage won’t be thrown casually and our surroundings will become more and more friendly and beautiful. Everyone is responsible for protecting the Earth ! Only everyone of us is dedicated to our own little effort, we will be able to make a better home. 第二节 One possible version: Suddenly a little rabbit jumped out in front of my horse. This unexpected appearance frightened my horse, which made it run wildly. I tried my best to control it, but in vain. Frightened as I was, I tried to keep my balance to prevent me from falling off. Fortunately, minutes later, the horse stopped before a river, out of breath, and so did I. At that moment, my dad also came up. Seeing I was OK, he was quite relieved. But it was clear that we got lost. We had no idea where we were and it got dark. We didn’t know where the farm house was. What we could do was to go back along the previous track slowly. But it was really difficult for us in such a dark situation. Just as we were at the point of desperation, we heard a faint voice from the distance. “It must be Uncle Zhang,” I said. So we cried back with excitement. Finally, Uncle Zhang safely brought us back home. What an amazing ride! A 本文为一篇应用文。文章介绍了世界上四个不同国家的人庆祝新年的习俗。 21．根据Round everything (Philippines)部分中“Filipino culture celebrates the New Year by serving twelve different fruits. Apples, melons, oranges, and grapes are popular picks, but any round fruit will do. The round produce stands for wealth for each month of the upcoming year. Locals also wear clothes with polka dots (圆点图案 ) on them and fill their pockets with round coins.(菲律宾文化庆祝新年时提供12种不同的水果。苹果、甜瓜、橙子和葡萄是很受欢迎的 水果，但任何圆形水果都可以。圆形的农产品代表着来年每个月的财富。当地人也穿有圆点 的衣服，口袋里装满圆形的硬币)”可知，菲律宾人通过靠近圆形的东西来庆祝新年。故选D。 22．根据Throwing paper out the window (Argentina)部分的“The reason behind the custom is that Argentines throw out all their old documents and papers before the curtain falls on the year to show they’re leaving the past behind.(这一习俗背后的原因是，阿根廷人在大幕落下之前扔掉 所有的旧文件和纸张，以表明他们正在把过去抛在身后)”可知，阿根廷人在12月31日扔掉旧 文件时为了离开过去的一年，迎接新的一年。故选C。 23．根据Breaking plates into pieces (Denmark)部分的“If you want to make a new Danish friend for the New Year, throw a plate against their door.(如果你想在新年结交一个新的丹麦朋友，向 他们的门扔一个盘子)”及“Danes also jump off chairs to leap into the New Year, and stay glued to their TVs for Queen Margrethe’s yearly speech and a screening of black-and-white English language comedy Dinner for One (known in Denmark as The 90th Birthday), which is also popular in Germany.(丹麦人也会从椅子上跳起来迎接新年，守在电视机前观看玛格丽特女王 的年度演讲，以及观看黑白英语喜剧《一个人的晚餐》(在丹麦被称为《90岁生日》)，这部 电影在德国也很受欢迎)”可知，丹麦人会从椅子上跳起来，听女王新年演讲及向新朋友的门 上扔盘子来迎接新年，选项B“吃12个绿葡萄”不属于丹麦庆祝新年的传统。故选A。 B 本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是在表达爱意的方式上，不同文化背景下的家庭有着截 然不同的习惯与理解。 24．根据第一段“One day the topic turned to saying “I love you”. I was shocked to learn that no one of my students had said this to their mothers, nor had their mothers said it to them.(有一天，话 题转到了说“我爱你”。我很震惊地了解到，我的学生中没有人对他们的妈妈说过‘我爱你’， 他们的妈妈也没有对他们说过。）” 可知，外教震惊是因为她的学生和学生的妈妈之间都没 有对彼此说过 “我爱你”。故选D。 25．根据第二段“They answered that their moms cooked and always told them what they were doing wrong to show their concern. I was surprised. “So Mom’s cooking and criticizing read out as ‘I love you’? Then how do you say ‘I love you’ to her?” They agreed that getting good grades and finding good jobs would be how they showed their love.(他们回答说，他们的妈妈做饭，总 是告诉他们做错了什么，以表示他们的关心。我很惊讶。“所以妈妈的烹饪和批评被解读为‘我 爱你’？那你怎么对她说‘我爱你’呢？”他们一致认为，取得好成绩，然后找到好工作是他们 表达爱的方式)”可推知，中国人喜欢通过做一些有意义的事情来表达爱。故选B。 26．根据第四段 “When she came home from university, her mother met her at the door and hugged (拥抱) her. This had never happened before, but her mom said, “Now that you have gone, I have more time to myself. I noticed that in some places mothers and children hug each other and I decided it was a good idea and that I would begin hugging you.”(当她从大学回家时，她妈妈在 门口迎接她并拥抱了她。这种情况以前从未发生过，但她的妈妈说：“你走了以后，我有更 多的时间属于自己。我注意到有些地方妈妈和孩子会互相拥抱，于是我觉得这是个好主意， 我也会开始拥抱你。”)”可知，在第四段中，女儿从大学回到家，妈妈出于想念和爱，拥抱 了女人，所以母亲拥抱的真正含义是她爱她的女儿，想念她。故选B。 27．根据最后一段“In my family we all say “I love you” a lot. While it is true that we often say the words without having great depth (深度) of feelings at that moment, it is almost like a blessing (祝福语) we give each other. Those three little words carry a world of meaning, even when said as a greeting, but most especially if they are the last words we say to or hear from those we love.(在 我家，我们都经常说“我爱你”。虽然我们经常说的话在那一刻没有很深的感情是事实，这几 乎就像我们给对方的祝福。即使是作为问候，这三个小字也意味深长，尤其是当它们是我们 对所爱的人说的最后一句话或听到的最后一句话时)”结合文章主要说明了作者在中国当外 教时发现，中国父母和孩子不应该表达对彼此的爱，而是通过做一些有意义的事情，作者建 议多和家人表达爱意。可知，这篇文章的主旨是对家人多说“我爱你”。故选C。 C 这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了《Yes Means Yes, Everything Else Means No》这本可 以增强读者决策力的书。 28. 由文章第二段中 “Another rule stressed in the book is simplicity in decision-making.

The building known as the White House is the home of the president of the United States and his family. The president also has his office here. In 1790, America’s first president, George Washington, wanted to build a new presidential home. A competition was held to find a designer to build it. Architect James Hoban won the contest. He planned a building of grayish-white sandstone. The color gave the house its name. Work started in 1792. But the house was not ready before the end of President Washington’s term. America’s second president, John Adams, and his wife moved into the house on Nov 1, 1800. By then, the building had six completed rooms. Many of the rooms were still empty when John Adams left office a few months later. Other presidents tried to complete the White House. But the British burned it down during the War of 1812. The White House was rebuilt after that war. Since then, it has been enlarged, repaired and almost totally rebuilt. Today, the White House has 132 rooms. Visitors can walk through some of the public ones.
