One of my earliest memories is standing without shoes in the freshly tilled (翻耕的) soil, my hands blackened from digging in the ground. As a child, I loved following Dad around in the garden. I remember Dad pushing the tiller ahead in perfectly straight lines. Dad loved growing all sorts of things: yellow and green onions, watermelons almost as big as me, rows of yellow corn, and our favorite-red tomatoes. As I grew into a teenager I didn’t get so excited about gardening with Dad. Instead of the magical land of possibility, it had turned into some kind of prison. However, as Dad grew older, his love for gardening never disappeared. After all the kids were grown and had started families of their own, Dad turned to gardening like never before. Even when he had cancer, he still took care of his garden. But then, the cancer, bit by bit, invaded his body. I had to do the things he used to do. What really convinced me that Dad was dying was the state of his garden that year. The rows and rows of colorful vegetables were gone. Too tired to weed (除草) them, he simply let them be. He only planted tomatoes. A few years later, I couldn’t even bear to look at anyone’s garden without having strong memories pour over me like cold water from a bucket. Last year, I decided to plant my own garden and started out with just a few tomatoes. That morning, after breaking up an amount of soil, something caught the corner of my eye and I had to smile. It was my eight-year-old son Jerry, happily playing in the freshly tilled soil. 41. What did the author like doing as a child in the garden? A. Standing in the soil barefoot and painting. B. Following Dad around and watching him work. C. Pushing the tiller ahead in straight lines. D. Growing all kinds of vegetables by himself. 42. The underlined word “invaded” in Paragraph 4 probably means ______. A. entered B. protected C. left D. cured 43. How did the author’s attitude towards gardening change as he grew into a teenager? A. He became more interested in it. B. He lost interest in gardening with his dad. C. He started to help his dad more actively. D. His interest in gardening remained the same as before. 44. What can we infer from last paragraph? A. The author’s son doesn’t like gardening at all. B. The author’s son will become a great gardener in the future. C. The author’s son will take care of the garden instead of the author. D. The author’s son’s behavior made the author think of his own childhood. 45. What is the main idea of the passage? A. The importance of gardening. B. The author’s love for tomatoes. C. The author’s father’s battle with cancer. D. The author’s memories of his father and the garden. C Just like everyone has their own unique personal space needs, we also all have our own unique comfort zones. Personal space boundaries keep others out while our comfort zones keep us in. Yet until we’re able to move beyond what is comfortable for us, we won’t be able to grow or develop beyond our limits. Until you get outside your comfort zone and consider other ideas, you won’t really know what you “know” or even know “why” you believe what you believe. The fear of leaving our comfort zones is a natural human emotion that often keeps us from exploring new territories, trying new experiences, and accepting unfamiliar situations. It is a powerful force that can prevent us from reaching our full potential and realizing our dreams. Not only does stretching past your comfort zone allow you to develop into an adult, but it also enhances your happiness in life. The happier you are with your life, the greater the positive change will be. Choosing how to stretch yourself beyond the familiar can be more satisfying, too, than being assigned a particular activity. In a study, researchers found that the most rewarding activity is one that stretches you to provide support or engage with others. It’s true that doing something beyond your normal range of activities can lead to fear. In the study, while 41 percent of the “comfort zone breakers” expressed feelings of fear, 70 percent described their feelings of courage at breaking out of their comfort zone. In fact, facing a fear was a strong motivator for many of the participants in their choice of activities. Being able to encounter a fear and overcome it provides a boost to your sense of self and your brain responds with a boost of dopamine (多巴胺). There’s less stress on your body, too. At the same time, the fear will decrease and eventually disappear. 46. What can we know about comfort zones according to Para. 1? A. Everyone has the same comfort zone. B. Comfort zones help us grow and develop. C. We should stay within our comfort zones all the time. D. Stepping out of comfort zones is necessary for growth. 47. What can we learn from Para. 3? A. Being assigned activities is more satisfying than choosing by ourselves. B. Stretching beyond the comfort zone has nothing to do with happiness. C. Engaging with others can be a rewarding way to stretch ourselves. D. The more you stretch yourself, the less happy you will be. 48. What can we infer about dealing with fear in Para. 4? A. It is simply a response to stress. B. It is a sense of one’s own value. C. It is an ability to control emotion. D. It leads to positive outcomes. 49. What is the author’s attitude towards breaking out of the comfort zone? A. Doubtful. B. Positive. C. Negative. D. Indifferent. 50. What is the main idea of the passage? A. The disadvantages of leaving comfort zones. B. The reasons for staying in comfort zones. C. The importance of personal space boundaries. D. The benefits of breaking out of comfort zones. 第Ⅱ卷（共35分） 第四部分：写作（共两节，满分35分） 阅读表达 Mum and Dad never noticed I was failing, but I don’t blame them. They had five children and a busy household. I got through primary school, but within months after starting secondary education I’d been moved into a class for “slow” kids. As far as I was concerned, that was where I belonged, but still felt ashamed. At 14, I realized things weren’t going to get better. I’d soon leave school unqualified and unemployable. Everyone would know I was stupid. Unable to talk about that with family or friends, I ran away from home. Life was not easy for me, but I always found a way out. If I had to meet someone, I’d repeat the street name to myself until I found a cab. I avoided situations where I’d have to sign my name. Bills were paid at the post office, in cash. If I had to fill in an application form, I’d take it into the street and ask a passer-by for help. If someone suggested a trip to the theatre, I’d find an excuse not to go. The turning point emerged with the birth of my daughter, Henrietta. How could I expect her to thrive (茁壮成长) if I wasn’t able to help her with homework? Who would read her bedtime stories, if not me? I was 30, and couldn’t even recite the alphabet. I took an evening course but kept it secret from my friends. Gradually, I started to gain what felt like a whole new sense. Within a year, I was able to stand in front of my classmates and deliver a speech about the works of William Blake. After that first year, I told my friends what I’d been up to. The relief was great; it’s like letting out a breath I’d been holding for years. I realized how lonely I’d always been. Finally, I was able to be myself. Today, my confidence is real, and I feel in control of everything I do. I run a guest house, work as a photographer and am about to complete a degree in psychology and sociology. 51. Why didn’t the author’s parents notice she was failing? (No more than 10 words) _____________________________________________________________________________________________ 52. What would the author do if she had to fill in an application form?(No more than 8 words) _____________________________________________________________________________________________ 53. What does the underlined part “emerged” in Paragraph 4 mean?(1 word) _____________________________________________________________________________________________ 54. How did the author feel after she told her friends the truth?(No more than 6 words) _____________________________________________________________________________________________ 55. What do you think of learning at an older age or throughout one’s life?(No more than 20 words) _____________________________________________________________________________________________ 第二节：书面表达（共1小题：满分25分） 56. 假定你是晨光中学的李津，你的英国交换生朋友Chris想使用AI完成中文家庭作业，他写邮件向你征求意见，请你给他回信。内容包括： (1)可以使用，但要适度： (2)建议借助AI查找有用信息，以辅助完成家庭作业； (3)注意辨别AI提供的信息是否真实、正确。 注意：（1）词数不少于100； （2）可以适当加入细节，使内容充实、行文连贯； （3）开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数 Dear Chris, ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Jin 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 天津市部分区2024~2025学年度第二学期期中练习 高二英语 本试卷分第Ⅰ卷（选择题）和第Ⅱ卷（非选择题）两部分，共120分，考试用时100分钟。 第Ⅰ卷（选择题 共85分） 第一部分：听力（共两节，满分20分） 第一节（共5小题；每小题1分，满分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三个选项中选出一个最佳选项，并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后，你将有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.

A. picked out B. taken up C. turned down D. set in 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】考查动词短语辨析。句意：足球运动员们在球场上各就各位，等待着哨声响起。A. picked out挑选出；B. taken up占据（位置、空间等）；C. turned down拒绝；D. set in开始。根据句意和their positions on the field可知，这里指足球运动员们在球场上占据了他们的位置，等待着哨声。故选B项。 14. We should improve our ability to engage in the international communication to tell the stories of China well and make the voice of China ______globally.

Don’t mention it别提了；B. I’m with you on that我支持你，我同意你的看法；C. Never mind没关系；D.

One of my earliest memories is standing without shoes in the freshly tilled (翻耕的) soil, my hands blackened from digging in the ground. As a child, I loved following Dad around in the garden. I remember Dad pushing the tiller ahead in perfectly straight lines. Dad loved growing all sorts of things: yellow and green onions, watermelons almost as big as me, rows of yellow corn, and our favorite-red tomatoes. As I grew into a teenager, I didn’t get so excited about gardening with Dad. Instead of the magical land of possibility, it had turned into some kind of prison. However, as Dad grew older, his love for gardening never disappeared. After all the kids were grown and had started families of their own, Dad turned to gardening like never before. Even when he had cancer, he still took care of his garden. But then, the cancer, bit by bit, invaded his body. I had to do the things he used to do. What really convinced me that Dad was dying was the state of his garden that year. The rows and rows of colorful vegetables were gone. Too tired to weed (除草) them, he simply let them be. He only planted tomatoes. A few years later, I couldn’t even bear to look at anyone’s garden without having strong memories pour over me like cold water from a bucket. Last year, I decided to plant my own garden and started out with just a few tomatoes. That morning, after breaking up an amount of soil, something caught the corner of my eye and I had to smile. It was my eight-year-old son Jerry, happily playing in the freshly tilled soil. 41. What did the author like doing as a child in the garden? A. Standing in the soil barefoot and painting. B. Following Dad around and watching him work. C. Pushing the tiller ahead in straight lines. D. Growing all kinds of vegetables by himself. 42. The underlined word “invaded” in Paragraph 4 probably means ______. A. entered B. protected C. left D. cured 43. How did the author’s attitude towards gardening change as he grew into a teenager? A. He became more interested in it. B. He lost interest in gardening with his dad. C. He started to help his dad more actively. D. His interest in gardening remained the same as before. 44. What can we infer from last paragraph? A. The author’s son doesn’t like gardening at all. B. The author’s son will become a great gardener in the future. C. The author’s son will take care of the garden instead of the author. D. The author’s son’s behavior made the author think of his own childhood. 45. What is the main idea of the passage? A. The importance of gardening. B. The author’s love for tomatoes. C. The author’s father’s battle with cancer. D. The author’s memories of his father and the garden. 【答案】41. B 42. A 43. B 44. D 45. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文，讲述了作者从小对于父亲和园艺的回忆，以及父亲去世后自己开始像父亲一样干园艺活缅怀过去的经历。 【41题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“As a child, I loved following Dad around in the garden. I remember Dad pushing the tiller ahead in perfectly straight lines. (小时候，我喜欢跟着爸爸在花园里转悠。我记得爸爸把翻耕机笔直地向前推。)”可知，作者小时候喜欢跟着爸爸去花园里转悠，看爸爸在那里干活。故选B项。 【42题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段“Even when he had cancer, he still took care of his garden. (即使他得了癌症，他仍然照料他的花园。)”父亲始终在照顾花园，即使患了癌症。根据第四段“I had to do the things he used to do. What really convinced me that Dad was dying was the state of his garden that year. The rows and rows of colorful vegetables were gone. (我不得不做他以前做的事情。真正让我相信爸爸快死了的是他那年花园的状况。一排排五颜六色的蔬菜不见了。)”可知，父亲因为癌症身体变差，以及不能照顾花园，花园状况变差，作者开始接替父亲打理花园。故可推测癌症一点点进入、侵蚀父亲的身体，即动词invaded与选项A的entered“进入”同义, B. protected保护；C. left离开；D. cured治愈，均不符合语境。故选A项。 43题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“As I grew into a teenager, I didn’t get so excited about gardening with Dad. Instead of the magical land of possibility, it had turned into some kind of prison. (当我十几岁的时候，我对和爸爸一起园艺并没有那么兴奋。它已经变成了某种监狱，而不是充满可能性的神奇土地。)”可知，青少年时期的作者不再喜欢和爸爸一起去花园干活，即他失去了原有的对花园的兴趣。故选B项。 44题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“A few years later, I couldn’t even bear to look at anyone’s garden without having strong memories pour over me like cold water from a bucket. (几年后，我甚至不忍心看着任何人的花园，没有强烈的记忆像水桶里的冷水一样倾泻在我身上。)”可知，几年之后作者的父亲应该去世了，他不愿看别人的花园，应该是不愿想起喜欢园艺的父亲已不在。而根据最后两句“That morning, after breaking up an amount of soil, something caught the corner of my eye and I had to smile. It was my eight-year-old son Jerry, happily playing in the freshly tilled soil. (那天早上，在打碎了一堆泥土后，有什么东西挡住了我的眼角，我不得不微笑。那是我八岁的儿子杰瑞，他在新耕种的土地上快乐地玩耍。)”可知作者终于开始向父亲一样干起园艺的活儿，而他的儿子像他小时候一样喜欢在花园里玩耍，他对此感到开心，这个场景让他想起的不是父亲的去世，而是儿时和父亲一起度过的欢乐时光。故选D项。 【45题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“My father was always a good gardener. One of my earliest memories is standing without shoes in the freshly tilled (翻耕) soil, my hands blackened from digging in the ground. (我父亲一直是个好园丁。我最早的记忆之一是不穿鞋子站在新翻耕的土壤里，我的手因在地上挖掘而变黑。)”可知，本文主要讲述的是作者对于父亲和园艺的回忆。故选D项。 C Just like everyone has their own unique personal space needs, we also all have our own unique comfort zones. Personal space boundaries keep others out while our comfort zones keep us in. Yet until we’re able to move beyond what is comfortable for us, we won’t be able to grow or develop beyond our limits. Until you get outside your comfort zone and consider other ideas, you won’t really know what you “know” or even know “why” you believe what you believe. The fear of leaving our comfort zones is a natural human emotion that often keeps us from exploring new territories, trying new experiences, and accepting unfamiliar situations. It is a powerful force that can prevent us from reaching our full potential and realizing our dreams. Not only does stretching past your comfort zone allow you to develop into an adult, but it also enhances your happiness in life. The happier you are with your life, the greater the positive change will be. Choosing how to stretch yourself beyond the familiar can be more satisfying, too, than being assigned a particular activity. In a study, researchers found that the most rewarding activity is one that stretches you to provide support or engage with others. It’s true that doing something beyond your normal range of activities can lead to fear. In the study, while 41 percent of the “comfort zone breakers” expressed feelings of fear, 70 percent described their feelings of courage at breaking out of their comfort zone. In fact, facing a fear was a strong motivator for many of the participants in their choice of activities. Being able to encounter a fear and overcome it provides a boost to your sense of self and your brain responds with a boost of dopamine (多巴胺). There’s less stress on your body, too. At the same time, the fear will decrease and eventually disappear. 46. What can we know about comfort zones according to Para. 1? A. Everyone has the same comfort zone. B. Comfort zones help us grow and develop. C. We should stay within our comfort zones all the time. D. Stepping out of comfort zones is necessary for growth. 47. What can we learn from Para. 3? A. Being assigned activities is more satisfying than choosing by ourselves. B. Stretching beyond the comfort zone has nothing to do with happiness. C. Engaging with others can be a rewarding way to stretch ourselves. D. The more you stretch yourself, the less happy you will be. 48. What can we infer about dealing with fear in Para. 4? A. It is simply a response to stress. B. It is a sense of one’s own value. C. It is an ability to control emotion. D. It leads to positive outcomes. 49. What is the author’s attitude towards breaking out of the comfort zone? A. Doubtful. B. Positive. C. Negative. D. Indifferent. 50. What is the main idea of the passage? A. The disadvantages of leaving comfort zones. B. The reasons for staying in comfort zones. C. The importance of personal space boundaries. D. The benefits of breaking out of comfort zones. 【答案】46. D 47. C 48. D 49. B 50. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章阐述舒适区概念，强调走出舒适区对个人成长、提升幸福感及克服恐惧等方面的重要意义 。 【46题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段最后两句“Yet until we’re able to move beyond what is comfortable for us, we won’t be able to grow or develop beyond our limits. Until you get outside your comfort zone and consider other ideas, you won’t really know what you ‘know’ or even know ‘why’ you believe what you believe.(然而，直到我们能够超越对我们来说舒适的范围，我们才能够超越我们的极限去成长或发展。直到你走出你的舒适区并考虑其他想法，你才会真正知道你所“知道”的东西，甚至不知道你为什么相信你所相信的东西。)”可知，走出舒适区对于成长是必要的。故选D项。 【47题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段最后一句“In a study, researchers found that the most rewarding activity is one that stretches you to provide support or engage with others.(在一项研究中，研究人员发现，最有意义的活动是那种能让你拓展自己去提供支持或与他人互动的活动。)”可知，与他人互动可以是拓展自己的一种有意义的方式。故选C项。 【48题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“In fact, facing a fear was a strong motivator for many of the participants in their choice of activities. Being able to encounter a fear and overcome it provides a boost to your sense of self and your brain responds with a boost of dopamine (多巴胺). There’s less stress on your body, too. At the same time, the fear will decrease and eventually disappear.(事实上，面对恐惧是许多参与者选择活动的一个强大动力。能够遇到恐惧并克服它会提升你的自我意识，你的大脑会通过分泌多巴胺来做出反应。你的身体所承受的压力也会减少。同时，恐惧会减少并最终消失。)”可知，处理恐惧会带来积极的结果。故选D项。 【49题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Not only does stretching past your comfort zone allow you to develop into an adult, but it also enhances your happiness in life. The happier you are with your life, the greater the positive change will be.(超越你的舒适区不仅能让你成长为一个成年人，还能提升你生活中的幸福感。你对自己的生活越满意，积极的变化就会越大。)”以及第四段中提到克服恐惧带来的积极影响等内容可知，作者对于走出舒适区持积极的态度。故选B项。 【50题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章开篇引出舒适区的概念，接着讲述了走出舒适区对于个人成长、提升幸福感以及克服恐惧等方面的积极作用，所以文章的主旨是走出舒适区的好处。故选D项。 第Ⅱ卷（共35分） 第四部分：写作（共两节，满分35分） 阅读表达 Mum and Dad never noticed I was failing, but I don’t blame them. They had five children and a busy household. I got through primary school, but within months after starting secondary education I’d been moved into a class for “slow” kids. As far as I was concerned, that was where I belonged, but still felt ashamed. At 14, I realized things weren’t going to get better. I’d soon leave school unqualified and unemployable. Everyone would know I was stupid. Unable to talk about that with family or friends, I ran away from home. Life was not easy for me, but I always found a way out. If I had to meet someone, I’d repeat the street name to myself until I found a cab. I avoided situations where I’d have to sign my name. Bills were paid at the post office, in cash. If I had to fill in an application form, I’d take it into the street and ask a passer-by for help. If someone suggested a trip to the theatre, I’d find an excuse not to go. The turning point emerged with the birth of my daughter, Henrietta. How could I expect her to thrive (茁壮成长) if I wasn’t able to help her with homework? Who would read her bedtime stories, if not me? I was 30, and couldn’t even recite the alphabet. I took an evening course but kept it secret from my friends. Gradually, I started to gain what felt like a whole new sense. Within a year, I was able to stand in front of my classmates and deliver a speech about the works of William Blake. After that first year, I told my friends what I’d been up to. The relief was great; it’s like letting out a breath I’d been holding for years. I realized how lonely I’d always been. Finally, I was able to be myself. Today, my confidence is real, and I feel in control of everything I do. I run a guest house, work as a photographer and am about to complete a degree in psychology and sociology. 51.

They had five children and a busy household.(妈妈和爸爸从来没有注意到我成绩不好，但我并不责怪他们。他们有五个孩子，家里也很忙)”可知，作者的父母没有注意到她成绩不好的原因是他们有一个大家庭并且非常忙碌。故答案为Because they had a big family and were very busy. 【52题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第三段中“If I had to fill in an application form, I’d take it into the street and ask a passer-by for help.(如果我必须填写申请表，我会把它带到街上，向路人求助)”可知，作者如果需要填写申请表，会向路人求助。故答案为She would ask a passer-by for help. 【53题详解】 考查词句猜测。根据第四段中“The turning point emerged with the birth of my daughter, Henrietta. How could I expect her to thrive (茁壮成长) if I wasn’t able to help her with homework? Who would read her bedtime stories, if not me? I was 30, and couldn’t even recite the alphabet.(转折点随着我女儿亨丽埃塔的出生而emerged。如果我不能帮她做作业，我怎么能指望她茁壮成长呢？如果不是我，谁会给她读睡前故事呢？那时我30岁，连字母表都不会背)”可知，转折点随着女儿出生而出现了。“emerged”在这里的意思是“出现”。故答案为Appeared。 【54题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第五段中“After that first year, I told my friends what I’d been up to. The relief was great; it’s like letting out a breath I’d been holding for years.(在那第一年后，我告诉了我的朋友们我一直在做的事情。那种解脱感非常强烈；就像释放了多年来一直憋着的一口气)”可知，作者在告诉朋友真相后感到极大的放松。故答案为She was greatly relaxed. 【55题详解】 考查开放性题目。根据最后一段中“Today, my confidence is real, and I feel in control of everything I do. I run a guest house, work as a photographer and am about to complete a degree in psychology and sociology.(今天，我的自信是真实的，我觉得自己可以控制自己做的一切。我经营着一家客栈，做着摄影师的工作，即将完成心理学和社会学的学位)”，并结合作者的经历可知，作者在30岁时开始学习并取得了显著的进步，这表明无论年龄多大，学习都是有益的，而且永远不会太晚开始。因此，可以得出这样的观点：我们需要不断学习，无论年龄多大，开始学习永远不晚。故答案为We need to learn no matter how old we are and it’s never too late to start. 第二节：书面表达（共1小题：满分25分） 56. 假定你是晨光中学的李津，你的英国交换生朋友Chris想使用AI完成中文家庭作业，他写邮件向你征求意见，请你给他回信。内容包括： (1)可以使用，但要适度： (2)建议借助AI查找有用信息，以辅助完成家庭作业； (3)注意辨别AI提供的信息是否真实、正确。 注意：（1）词数不少于100； （2）可以适当加入细节，使内容充实、行文连贯； （3）开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 Dear Chris, ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Jin 【答案】Dear Chris, I was really happy to get your email. I know you want to use AI to finish your Chinese homework. It’s fine to use it, but don’t overdo it. AI can help you a lot. You can ask it to find useful information. For example, if you need to write a composition, you can ask AI for some ideas on how to organize it. You can also get some good sentences from it. This will make it easier for you to do your homework. But you must remember that not all the information AI gives is right. Some of it may be wrong. So, you need to check the facts by yourself. This is also a good way to learn. I hope my advice can help you. Keep in mind that the point of homework is to make you better at Chinese. Use AI properly.
