An hour into the race, Susan and her sled dog team sped down a hill and crashed into a fallen tree. Although hurt, Susan continued the difficult race. The Iditarod Race started in 1925 when a doctor in Nome, Alaska was desperately in need of medicine to stop the spread of a deadly disease. Only a hospital had what he needed, but it was 700 mile-away! In January, it was too dangerous to send a boat and too stormy for his tiny airplane. The only hope was to use several sled dog teams following a trail, called the Iditarod Trail. They passed the medicine from one sled team to another. Wind and snow did not stop the men and their dogs. The medicine was delivered in record time. The race follows the route of the famous medicine run. Over 1, 000 miles long, it is considered the toughest race in the world. Susan Butcher was born in Cambridge, Massachusetts. In her teens Susan was given a Siberian husky dog and became very interested in huskies as sled dogs. After reading about the Iditarod Race, Susan moved to Alaska. She got several jobs to earn money to buy herself a sled and a team of huskies. After years of hard work and training, Susan achieved her dream of racing on the Iditarod Trail. In 1978, at the age of 24, Susan entered the race for the first time and became the first woman to finish in the top 20. In 1982 she came in second. In 1984 she was leading her team across a frozen waterway when they fell into the water. Her lead dog managed to pull Susan and the other dogs out of danger. Remarkably, she came in second. In her fourth race, in 1985, a staring moose (驼鹿) attacked her dogs, killing two and injuring eleven. Susan had to leave the race. In 1986 Susan joined the race again. This time, she won. She won again in 1987. In 1988 she became the first person ever to win three Iditarod races in a row. Unbelievably, Susan won for the fourth time in 1990. 24. According to text, Susan Butcher entered the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race at least __________times. A. six B. seven C. eight D. nine 25. In Paragraph 2, the author wants to tell us __________. A. how the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race began B. how the spread of a deadly disease was stopped C. how tough the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race was D. how Susan Butcher began to show interest in the race 26. What does the underlined phrase “in a row” probably mean in the last paragraph? A. continuously B. eventually C. finally D. particularly 27. What led to some of Susan Butcher’s failures? A. Snowstorm. B. Lack of food. C. Accidents. D. Lack of experience. C There are around 600,000 vegans (素食者) in the UK. That' s just over 1% of the population — an amount expected to increase to 25% by 2025. And if there's one type of food that Brits love, it is fast food. People in the UK love it so much that there was a 34% increase in the number of fast food outlets from 2010 to 2018. It's no surprise, then, that vegan fast food is also on the rise. Vegan fast food has become big business. At Just Eat, an online food delivery company, vegan orders more than doubled in 2018. Greggs, a chain of high-street bakeries, named its vegan sausage roll the ''fastest - selling product in six years". And big franchises such as McDonald's and KFC have announced meat-free chicken nuggets (鸡块) to come in the future. What's. driving this popularity? Katrina Fox, founder of Vegan Business Media, believes it's the result of the breaking down of stereotypes (成见). ''Vegan food is no longer seen as a bit of lettuce and lentils — you can eat pretty much anything". It's also claimed that there are health benefits. John Marulanda, owner of Mooshies is a vegan burger bar in London — wants to implement “a change to a healthy version of fast food. Something, he claims, that comes as a result of the inherent nutritional value of the ingredients they use. But, is vegan fast food actually healthy? Azmina Govindji of the British Dietetic Association says ''not to assume" that is the case, ''It' s fine if those products have got vitamin B12, iodine or calcium added to them. but they can still be fried, it can still have lots of creamy, fatty sauces and lots of salt. Given the current growth in orders, the trend for vegan fast food isn't likely to disappear any time soon, Health — wise, it may not be any more nourishing than regular fast food, but for many， the lack of animal suffering involved in the process is a big plus. 28. What's the main idea of Paragraph 1? A. Vegans in the UK are increasing. B. British people love junk food. C. Eating too much fast food is bad for health. D. Vegan fast food is becoming popular in Britain. 29. Which might be the reason for the popularity of vegan fast food? A. Its unique flavors. B. The change of life pace. C. Its health benefits. D. Its colorful decorations. 30. What is Azmina Govindji's opinion about vegan fast food? A. It is not so healthy. B. It is more varied. C. It is more nutritious. D. It will soon disappear. 31. Why do many people tend to vegan fast food according to the last sentence? A. To keep a balanced diet. B. For religious reasons. C. Out of the love for animals. D. It's cheaper than regular food. D The world is warming up and humans are the cause, and that means it’s up to us to stop it. The burning of oil and coal is one huge cause, and clean energy (能源) sources are needed greatly if we’re going to make any meaningful changes. But where is all of this clean energy going to come from? Denmark seems to have an idea. In Europe, Denmark provides more oil than any other country, but that’s going to change. The country has promised to stop oil production within the next 30 years, but that means it’s going to need to get its energy from somewhere else. To that end, Denmark has planned to build a man-made island off its coast. As Fast Company reports, the plan will include the building of the island itself as well as up to 600 wind turbines (涡轮机) to pick up ocean winds and change them into electricity (电). The island will have a size of 20 football fields and will have turbines around it and send power to huge batteries (电池) that can store power for whenever it’s needed. All told, the island should be able to provide power for as many as three million homes, but as more batteries are added, that stored power could be provided for even more homes and businesses. “The island is expected to cost about $34 billion, which is really a lot of money. However, as countries begin to use more green energy, the ones that produce more of it will have the chance to sell it to other countries. As oil and coal burning is not allowed worldwide, those that don’t produce enough green energy might be forced to buy up power from their greener neighbors,” said Fast Company. 32. Which of the following words can best describe Denmark’s action? A. Worrying. B. Brave. C. Responsible. D. Confusing 33. What will the man-made island serve as? A. An energy center. B. A living center. C. A research center. D. A tour center. 34. What do Fast Company’s words in the last paragraph mean? A. The project will get paid back in the long run. B. The project will attract more countries’ attention. C. They have collected enough money for the project. D. They need other countries’help to finish the project. 35. What could be the best title for the text? A. Denmark will become a greener country. B. Denmark is going to stop providing oil. C. Denmark will sell its green energy to other countries. D. Denmark will build a man-made island to produce energy 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。 Mistakes I Made While Trying To Lose Weight In this article, I’m going to share with you several mistakes I made on my quest to lose weight.

I realize this is simple and very basic. However, it is necessary and it does make a difference. I often have people who cross my daily path to whom I can show kindness. It is often just a smile. A smile often says, “I see you. You aren’t invisible to me. You are important.” People need someone to care about them. I read a story many years ago about a man who had decided to commit suicide. He’d lost a fortune, his job, his family and nearly everything he owned. He went to a local pawn shop to buy a gun. He planned to take the gun back to his apartment in New York City, and kill himself. As he was getting on the elevator, a little old lady was slowly getting on too. She had a small cart she was pulling behind her and was having a little trouble getting it into the elevator. He said that he was actually a bit angry because he wanted to hurry up, get to his apartment and end his own life. He reached out to the old lady’s cart and forced it as it had become stuck. He got it free easily and she got on the elevator. After the door closed, she looked up at him with a big smile and said, “If we had more young men like you in this world, the world would be a better place. You are so kind to help. Such a sweet young man. ” Of course, it changed his thought of going back to kill himself. He wanted to go around New York and find people that he could help and people who were struggling even with something that was as small as the little old lady’s cart. 注意： 1. 所续写短文的词数应为 150 左右； 2. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。 Paragraph 1: That day his life changed. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Later, he enjoyed great success in his work and life. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 甘肃省华池县第一中学2024-2025学年度第二学期期中考试 高一英语 2025.4 注意事项： 1.本试卷分四部分。满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 2.考生作答时，请将答案答在答题卡上。选择题每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑；主观题请用直径0.5毫米黑色墨水签字笔在答题卡上各题的答题区域内作答，超出答题区域书写的答案无效，在试题卷、草稿纸上作答无效。 3.本试卷命题范围：必修第二册Unit 6,必修第三册Units 7~8. 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 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题答案】 【答案】B 【2题答案】 【答案】B 【3题答案】 【答案】C 【4题答案】 【答案】A 【5题答案】 【答案】B 第二节（共15小题；每小题1.5分，满分22.5分） 听下面5段对话或独白，每段对话或独白后有几个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听每段对话或独白前，你将有时间阅读各个小题，每小题5秒钟；听完后，各小题将给出5秒钟的作答时间。每段对话或独白读两遍。 【6~7题答案】 【答案】6.

Firstly, garbage should never be littered randomly. Instead, we should sort waste properly and keep our surroundings clean. This simple act can greatly reduce pollution and create a more pleasant living environment. Secondly, tree-planting is crucial. Trees absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen, purifying the air and preventing soil erosion. We should encourage everyone to participate in tree-planting activities. Finally, we must protect the oceans. Overfishing disrupts the marine ecosystem. By setting fishing limits and protecting marine habitats, we can ensure the sustainable development of the oceans. Let’s work together to safeguard our planet for future generations. Yours, Li Hua 第二节（满分25分） 【67题答案】 【答案】Paragraph 1 That day, his life changed.
