Birthday Memories with Friends and Family. B It was Christmas Eve when my elder sister and I decided to open our presents before our mom got home from work. She usually came home about an hour after we got home from school, which we thought was plenty of time to sneak a look (偷看) at the gifts under the tree. My elder sister opened present after present while I was ordered to stand guard at the big window in our front room. Finally, when my sister’s curiosity was satisfied, we changed places. After opening a few presents, I found it faster to open one end of a present and look inside. “Cool! Mom and Dad got me headphones!” I pulled the headphones out of the box and was about to put them on when my sister shouted, “Quick! Wrap it back up! Mom’s coming!” I put the headphones back in the box but my hands were shaking. My heart beat faster as I tried to get the tape to stick. I had just finished burying the package with my headphones in it when my mother came into the front room. I jumped up and said, “Hi, Mom!” She smiled at me and said “Hi” back, but didn’t appear to suspect (怀疑) anything. My heart began to slow as I took a deep breath. On Christmas morning, my sister and I smiled, and gave award-winning performances when we opened our presents—again. “Headphones!” I shouted. “Thanks, it’s just what I wanted.” After everything had been opened, my sister and I looked at each other, and our eyes met. Our secret was safe, but somehow Christmas morning didn’t feel the same. My sister and I never opened our Christmas presents early again. I don’t know if it was that opening our gifts for the second time just wasn’t as much fun as the first time, or if we came too close to getting caught and didn’t want to think about what our mother would have done to us. 4. What did the author and his sister do before their mother came back? A. They bought some Christmas presents. B. They hid Christmas presents under the tree. C. They opened Christmas presents in advance. D. They wrapped the headphones for their mother. 5. How was the author feeling when his mother was coming? A. Grateful and moved. B. Happy and excited. C. Curious and surprised. D. Nervous and frightened. 6. Why did Christmas morning give the author a different feeling? A. His secret was found out. B. His curiosity wasn’t satisfied. C. A pleasant surprise was lost. D. A festival atmosphere was lost. 7. What can we infer about the author from the last paragraph? A. He didn’t like the headphones. B. He regretted what he had done. C. He wasn’t satisfied with his mother. D. He couldn’t find his Christmas present. C Tasting good and requiring just a cup of boiling water to prepare, instant noodles (方便面) are one of the most popular foods in the world. But instant noodles often contain sky-high amounts of sodium (钠). Fortunately, food start-up Immi is reinventing the beloved food. The noodles they make are the only 100% plant-based instant noodle on the market, and contain far less sodium than their competitors. The company is set up by Kevin Lee and Kevin Chanthasiriphan. Lee said that seeing instant noodles lovers in their family forsake the food for health reasons drove them to come up with new ones. But the process wasn’t easy. Lee said that the development stage took longer than they expected, as the pair put a lot of effort into developing a recipe (食谱) that still had the same taste as the former noodles. After having thousands of volunteers taste the products and offer their opinions, they finally decide on a unique plant-based mixture. Lee and Chanthasiriphan said their use of high-quality food led to another challenge — high price. People expect instant noodles to be cheap, but because of their good quality, Immi’s noodles must be sold at a higher price. The pair worked hard to make the noodles relatively affordable, even though it would mean costing more than their competitors. Chanthasiriphan said, “Our goal is to do more than just put food into people’s stomachs. We want to make sure this food is also healthy.” Immi’s efforts to create new noodles are extremely important to people who are living with limited kitchen food. People who are looking for an easy-to-prepare meal now have a healthier choice on hand. 8. What is special about Immi’s instant noodles? A. They can be kept for a longer time. B. They use local products. C. They are much healthier. D. They are easier to cook. 9. What does the underlined word “forsake” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Be attracted to. B. Give up C. Depend on. D. Look for. 10. Why did Lee and Chanthasiriphan spend so much time on the development stage? A. They lacked money to do the test. B. They failed to find volunteers at first. C. They tried hard to keep the former taste. D. They had to test environmentally friendly products. 11. What probably stops Immi’s noodles attracting people? A. The quality. B. The service. C. The effect. D. The affordability. D If you often exercise, there is a good chance for you to be more creative, according to a study of the links between physical activity and imagination. The study finds that active people come up with more and better ideas during tests of their inventiveness. It has been proved that physical activity influences our thinking. Many studies show that our brains go through changes in response to physical activity, for during exercise our brains take in more blood, oxygen and nutrients (营养物), thus producing more new brain cells than those who don’t exercise. In this way, exercise raises our moods (情绪) and is likely to improve our abilities to reason and remember. However, creativity is an abstract (抽象) thinking skill, whose relationship with exercise has not been clear. Some past research suggested exercise does not directly affect creative thinking. To learn more about how being active could possibly affect creativity researchers at the University of Graz tracked the normal activities of a group of healthy adults. They equipped these volunteers with activity trackers for five days. Then they asked them to visit the lab. The researchers then rated their output on its creativity and other measures. The volunteers also completed standardized questionnaires about their moods. The scientists found that the most active of the volunteers proved to be also the most creative, especially if they often walked or exercised properly. They are also likely to be in high spirits, although their moods were highest if they took part in energetic activities, rather than average ones. However, the link between activity, creativity and moods was light. This suggested that it was not improved moods, but physical activity, that had a greater influence on creativity. The study didn’t take people’s whole lives into account and cannot tell us how exercise and other activities might shape creativity, if not by raising moods. But the results do suggest that active imaginations start with active lives. 12. How does physical activity change our brains? A. By making more brain cells. B. By responding to thinking. C. By supplying more nutrients. D. By increasing blood pressure. 13. What does Paragraph 4 mainly focus on? A. The purpose of the study. B. The process of the study. C. The findings of the study. D. The subjects of the study. 14. What do we know from Paragraph 5? A. Those doing more energetic exercise are the most creative. B. People’s moods are closely connected with their creativity. C. Exercise plays a more important role in shaping creativity. D. Effortless physical activities make people more creative. 15. What is the most suitable title for the passage? A. Is Exercise Good for Your Mental Health? B. Can Exercise Make You More Creative? C What Makes You More Imaginative? D. How Exercise Improves Your Mood? 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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Hug a Tree We know that spending time in nature reduces stress and improves our mood. We also know that the act of hugging ourselves or another living thing can improve our well-being. ____16____ That’s exactly what hugging a tree does! Read on to learn more about the benefits of hugging a tree! Take a Fresh Breath ____17____ So, when you are close to a tree and hug it in a forest, you are naturally in a more oxygen-rich environment.

Researchers are even calling trees nature’s Prozac. They note that feeling grounded or connected to nature can reduce anxiety and depression. When you hug a tree, you become grounded to its powerful roots, receiving energy that can help to fight seasonal affective disorder or depression year-round. ____19____ Trees are one of nature’s greatest stress-reducers. It works by connecting you to the environment and allowing you to feel grounded in both space and time. When you hug a tree, you receive grounding energy through its roots. This has proven effective for people who have high levels of anxiety or fear, or those who suffer from nervousness and worry. If you don’t have a tree in your yard, go visit the local park or the botanic gardens or hike in the closest woodlands. Find a tree that speaks to you or is impressive in its appearance. Go give it a hug. ____20____ So what if passers-by laugh at you? The hug you give is not just to the tree but to yourself and your spirit. A. Reduce stress. B. Receive more energy. C. Get over your fear of embarrassment. D. Both methods require little effort or time. E. It is well known that trees produce oxygen. F. Combining the two can create even greater effects. G.

As a shy and unnoticed student, he felt lonely, struggling against the challenges of high school life. Ms Lau, his Chinese teacher, was a light in his dark world. Her warm smile and gentle behavior made her stand out among the sea of teachers. She was the only one who seemed to understand him, always encouraging him to step out of his comfort zone. One day, after class, Ms Lau asked Alex to her office with excitement shining in her eyes. “Alex, I have an offer for you,” she said, her voice filled with joy. “I am organizing a cultural exchange program to China, and I believe it would be a great opportunity for you to explore a new world.” Alex’s heart raced wildly, the thought of traveling to a foreign country both exciting and frightening. He felt worried, unsure if it was a good idea to start such an adventure. But Ms Lau’s smile gave him the push he needed to make the decision. With Ms Lau’s help, Alex began preparing for the trip. He got really interested in Chinese culture and learned about its long history and traditions. After Ms Lau became his Chinese teacher, he learned not only the language but also invaluable life lessons from her. She taught him the importance of being confident and not giving up, reminding him that growth only happens outside one’s comfort zone. The day of the program arrived, and Alex found himself on a plane headed for China. He couldn’t help but feel shocked as he stepped off the plane and into a world so different from his own. The busy streets, bright colors, and unfamiliar sounds flooded his senses. Yet, Ms Lau’s comforting presence by his side provided him with the strength to face the unknown. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 During their time in China, Alex enjoyed the experience. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Back to New Zealand, Alex was a changed person. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 濮阳外国语学校2024级高一下学期期中考试 英语试题 本卷满分150分，考试时间120分钟 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分）。 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.
