If you only have one day to spare, consider one of these quick day trips from Los Angeles to some amazing nearby destinations. Palm Springs If you want to exercise, check out the Indian Canyons that offer hiking trails (路线) and different attractive views. If relaxation is your goal, shop at the stores in Cabazon, or just sit by the pool. You can see works of famous artists including Picasso and Warhol in the Palm Spring Art Museum but the works are not for sale. Solana Beach It’s easy to get there from L. A. by train. And it’s a perfect way to day-trip because all the places are within walking distance of the station. Head down to the beach at Fletcher Cover or walk along the Cedros Design District for window shopping. Balboa Island Visitors can enter the man-made island by car, but it’s far easier and more fun to park your car on the Balboa Peninsula and take the boat for a quick trip across the water. Walk along Marine Avenue, the island’s main street. Here you’ll find plenty of restaurants, gift shops, and you can learn some local history in Island Museum. San Juan Capistrano A piece of California history and an old town make San Juan Capistrano an unusual day-trip destination with a lot of beauty and a little learning. If you have your heart set on getting up close with some animals, pay a visit to Petting Zoo. You can also learn some local history in the museum, which is perfect for a walking tour. 1. Which of the following is True about Palm Springs? A. You can buy some works of Picasso. B. You can have a trip to exercise all day. C. You can swim in the pool to exercise. D.

D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了洛杉矶附近四个可以一日游的旅游目的地。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“If you want to exercise, check out the Indian Canyons that offer hiking trails (路线) and different attractive views. (如果你想锻炼，可以去印度峡谷，那里有徒步小径和不同的迷人景色。)”可知，在Palm Spring你可以有锻炼一整天的旅行。故选B。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Head down to the beach at Fletcher Cover or walk along the Cedros Design District for window shopping. (前往Fletcher Cover的海滩，或沿着Cedros Design District步行，进行橱窗购物。)”以及第四段“Walk along Marine Avenue, the island’s main street. Here you’ll find plenty of restaurants, gift shops, and you can learn some local history in Island Museum. (沿着岛上的主要街道海洋大道(Marine Avenue)漫步。在这里你会发现很多餐馆、礼品店，你还可以在岛博物馆了解一些当地的历史。) ”可知，这两条旅游路线中，游客可以购物和购买当地特色产品。故选C。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“If you have your heart set on getting up close with some animals，pay a visit to Petting Zoo. (如果你一心想近距离接触一些动物，可以去宠物动物园看看。)”可知，在San Juan Capistrano提供与动物近距离接触的机会。故选D。 B The World’s oldest pen pals have both turned 100 after 84 years of transatlantic (跨大洋) letters. Geoff Banks from Honiton, Devon, UK and Celesta Byrne, from the US, started to write to each other when they were just 16 in 1938. They met as part of an educational project to put British and American students in contact and 84 years later they still keep contacting. Geoff once was a retired engineer. He said, “I can’t quite remember how we could get in touch, but I was talking to Celesta recently. And I think it was something to do with an American school’s plan. The plan matched us up with Americans for a pen pal relationship and somehow I ended up with this letter from an American girl, and we just kept contacting ever since. There were a couple of years when we tried very hard to keep in touch because of the war. Now of course she is poorly sighted, so I contact mainly by email to one of her daughters who lives nearby. Email is much easier for me these days too, because I can’t write very well anymore. In the email, we just talk about our daily lives and our own families. She’s always been there to write to. even if it was just birthday cards and Christmas cards.” Though they have chatted for over 80 years, the pair has only ever met twice — their first meeting in 2002 while Geoff visited New York, and then two years later. Nowadays, Geoff is a great grandfather. He lives a happy life. He has three sons who settles across the world and many more grandchildren. “I have this new thing called Zoom. I think now it’s time to chat with her, but I leave all the technology to younger people. They’re much better at pressing all the buttons”. 4. What may bring Geoff and Celesta to be pen pals? A. An American school’s plan. B. Geoff’s visit to New York. C. The world war. D. Communication technology. 5. Why did Geoff use email to write letters later? A. Because he relied on Zoom to chat. B. Because he suffered from eye disease. C. Because he was unable to write well. D. Because writing is too boring for him. 6. What can we infer from the passage? A. Pen pals are true friends. B. True friendship survives time and space. C. Letters were not allowed during the war. D. Technology builds friendship. 7 What does the passage mainly talk about? A. A Zoom: a new technology to chat. B. A great way to keep in touch. C. Importance of being pen pals. D. Oldest pen pals in the world. 【答案】4. A 5. C 6. B 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。本文主要报道了世界上年龄最大的两位笔友的故事。八十多年前，美国的一个教育项目使英国的Geoff与美国的Celesta建立了笔友关系。八十多年来，他们一直通过书信、电子邮件或视频软件保持着联系。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中Geoff和话“I can’t quite remember how we could get in touch, but I was talking to Celesta recently. And I think it was something to do with an American school’s plan. The plan matched us up with Americans for a pen pal relationship (我不太记得我们是怎么联系上的，但我最近和塞莱斯塔聊过。我认为这与美国学校的计划有关。这个计划让我们和美国人成为笔友)”可知，一所美国学校的计划让Geoff和Celesta成为笔友。故选A。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Now of course she is poorly sighted, so I contact mainly by email to one of her daughters who lives nearby. Email is much easier for me these days too, because I can’t write very well anymore.(当然，她视力不佳，所以我主要通过电子邮件与她住在附近的一个女儿联系。现在，电子邮件对我来说也容易多了，因为我写字不太行了)”可知，杰夫后来改用电子邮件是因为他写不好字。故选C。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“The World’s oldest pen pals have both turned 100 after 84 years of transatlantic (跨大洋) letters.(世界上最老的笔友在经历了84年的跨大西洋书信往来后，双双迎来了100岁生日)”和第三段“There were a couple of years when we tried very hard to keep in touch because of the war. Now of course she is poorly sighted, so I contact mainly by email to one of her daughters who lives nearby. Email is much easier for me these days too, because I can’t write very well anymore.(有几年，因为战争，我们非常努力地保持联系。当然，她视力不佳，所以我主要通过电子邮件与住在她附近的一个女儿联系。这些天来，电子邮件对我来说也容易多了，因为我写字不太行了)”可推知，杰夫与塞拉斯塔跨越 80 多年的笔友情谊，纵然有战争，纵然有健康原因，他们之间依然保持着联系。由此推断，真正的友谊超越时空。故选B。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“The World’s oldest pen pals have both turned 100 after 84 years of transatlantic (跨大洋) letters. (世界上最老的笔友在经历了84年的跨大西洋书信往来后，双双迎来了100岁生日)”以及全文可知，本文主要讲述了世界上年龄最大的两位笔友的故事。故选D。 C One million species face extinction more than ever before in human history, according to a UN report released in May. And humans should be responsible. The researchers based the assessment (评估) on some 15,000 sources considering the causes and results of environmental changes over the past 50 years. The findings are clear and alarming. The researchers have found that about 25 percent of the world’s plants and animals are at risk of extinction. These include sea and land animals. Even the domesticated (驯养的) animals are at risk: Over 9 percent of the domesticated animal species used for food and agriculture might have been lost. There are some big problems. This rapid decrease of the natural world endangers global food safety and quality of life. For example, about 4 billion people rely on natural medicines, produced by the disappearing species, for their health care. The researchers identified five drivers responsible for the bad news. They think at the top of the list is the change of land and sea use. The change in ecosystems towards agriculture, aquaculture and other human developments has led to changes in the natural living space of species. It is followed by the direct overuse of creatures (harvesting crops, cutting down the trees, hunting and fishing) and climate change, including rising sea levels and increasing extreme-weather events, wildfires, floods and droughts. The final causes of species extinction are pollution, especially plastics, and the spread of non-native species that can kill native plants and animals. In fact, good ecosystems can promote the growth of species. The researchers say it is time for humans to act. They think maybe a new global way to save food and refuse waste in our life can turn the tables. Whether that is possible is an open question. 8. What is the main purpose of the first paragraph? A. To introduce the topic of the text. B. To introduce the schedule of the report. C. To introduce humans’ sense of responsibility. D. To introduce the history of human development. 9. What does paragraph 3 mainly show? A. The reliability of the findings. B. The species of animals worldwide. C. The seriousness of species’ reduction. D. The risky experiences of the researchers. 10. Which word best describes the relationship between species and ecosystems? A. Narrow. B. Interdependent. C. Competitive. D. Unrelated. 11. What does the underlined phrase “turn the tables” in the last paragraph mean? A. Change the situations. B. Ask the open questions. C. Pollute the environments. D. Turn the tables upside and down. 【答案】8. A 9. C 10. B 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了100万个物种面临灭绝，人类应该对此负责。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“One million species face extinction, more than ever before in human history, according to a UN report released in May. And humans should be responsible. (联合国5月份发布的一份报告显示，100万个物种面临灭绝，比人类历史上任何时候都要多。人类应该对此负责)”可知，该段主要引出了本文的主题：人类对物种的灭绝负有责任。故选A。 【9题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“The findings are clear and alarming. The researchers have found that about 25 percent of the world’s plants and animals are at risk of extinction. These include sea and land animals. Even the domesticated (驯养的) animals are at risk: Over 9 percent of the domesticated animal species used for food and agriculture might have been lost. (研究结果清晰而令人担忧。研究人员发现，世界上大约25%的动植物面临灭绝的危险。这些动物包括海洋和陆地动物。即使是驯养的动物也处于危险之中:：过9%的用于粮食和农业的驯养动物物种可能已经消失)”可知，第三段主要说明了物种减少的严重性。故选C。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中“The change in ecosystems towards agriculture, aquaculture and other human developments has led to changes in the natural living space of species. It is followed by the direct overuse of creatures (harvesting crops, cutting down the trees, hunting and fishing) and climate change, including rising sea levels and increasing extreme-weather events, wildfires, floods and droughts. The final causes of species extinction are pollution, especially plastics, and the spread of non-native species that can kill native plants and animals. In fact, good ecosystems can promote the growth of species. (生态系统对农业、水产养殖和其他人类发展的改变导致了物种自然生存空间的变化。紧随其后的是直接过度使用生物（收割庄稼、砍伐树木、狩猎和捕鱼）和气候变化，包括海平面上升和极端天气事件、野火、洪水和干旱的增加。物种灭绝的最终原因是污染，尤其是塑料，以及可以杀死本地动植物的非本地物种的传播。事实上，良好的生态系统可以促进物种的生长)”可推知，物种和生态环境之间的关系是相互依赖的。故选B。 【11题详解】 词句猜测题。根据最后一段中“The researchers say it is time for humans to act. (研究人员表示，现在是人类采取行动的时候了)”可知，人类应该采取行动；再结合划线词上文“They think maybe a new global way to save food and refuse waste in our life can”可推知，此处解释采取行动的意义是什么，应该是可以“扭转局面”。故选A。 D The cultures of the East and the West are really different from each other a lot. This is because the culture systems are two separate ones on the whole. The origin of the Eastern culture is mainly from two countries: China and India. Both of the two cultures are developed by rivers — the Yellow River in China and the Hindu River in India. They helped the two cultures develop for centuries and form their own styles. When the two mother rivers gave birth to the Eastern culture, another famous culture was up on the Mesopotamian Plain — the Mesopotamian Civilization. This civilization later on developed into the cultures of Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome. And these two are well-known as the base of the European culture. Like the Chinese culture, the European culture also crossed waters. When the British settled down in America, their culture went with them over the Atlantic Ocean. So the American culture doesn’t have much difference from the European culture. At the same time, some other differences add to the cultural differences. Take the language system for example. In the East, most languages belong to the pictographic (象形) language while the western languages are mostly based on the Latin system. Other causes like human race differences count as well. But what’s more, due to the far distance and the steep areas between the East and the west, the two cultures seldom communicate until recent centuries. So they grew up totally in their own ways with almost no interference (干扰) from the other. The differences are everywhere. They are obvious and make people’s ways of thinking and their views of the world different. But different cultures make the world of 21st century more colorful. The cultural difference should not be the obstacle to the civilization of human being. It ought to be the driving force of our going farther. 12. What is the text mainly about? A. The origin of cultures. B. Culture differences. C. Language systems. D. Colorful world. 13. Why is the American culture similar to the European culture? A. Both of the two cultures have a very long history. B. They have the same mother rivers as the Chinese culture. C. The early settlers from Britain brought their culture to America. D Both the British and the American live along the coast of the Atlantic Ocean. 14. What’s one of the reason why the east and west cultures seldom communicate until recent centuries? A. People ate different kinds of food. B. The east and west people don’t like each other. C. The East and the West are too far away. D. People’s habits and traditions are similar. 15. What’s the author’s attitude to the cultural differences between the East and the West? A. Cautious. B. Positive. C. Neutral. D. Critical. 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. C 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了东西方文化的差异，包括文化的起源、语言系统等方面的差异，以及造成这些差异的原因，最后阐述了文化差异对世界的积极影响。 【12题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“The cultures of the East and the West are really different from each other a lot. This is because the culture systems are two separate ones on the whole(东西方文化其实有很多不同，这是因为它们的文化体系整体上是两个独立的体系)”以及最后一段“But different cultures make the world of 21st century more colorful. The cultural difference should not be the obstacle to the civilization of human being. It ought to be the driving force of our going farther(但不同的文化使21世纪的世界更加多彩。文化差异不应成为人类文明的障碍，而应是我们前进的动力)”可知，文章开篇指出东西方文化有很大差异，接着分别从文化起源（东方文化起源于中国和印度，由黄河和印度河孕育，西方文化起源于美索不达米亚文明，发展为古希腊和古罗马文化，成为欧洲文化基础，且美国文化因英国殖民者而与欧洲文化相似）、语言系统（东方多象形语言，西方多基于拉丁系统）等方面阐述了差异，最后强调文化差异使世界更丰富多彩，不应成为障碍而应是前进动力。所以文章主要围绕文化差异展开。故选B项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“When the British settled down in America, their culture went with them over the Atlantic Ocean. So the American culture doesn’t have much difference from the European culture(当英国人在美国定居下来时，他们的文化也随着他们越过了大西洋。所以美国文化和欧洲文化没有太大的区别)”可知，美国文化与欧洲文化相似是因为早期来自英国的定居者把他们的文化带到了美国。故选C项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“But what’s more, due to the far distance and the steep areas between the East and the west, the two cultures seldom communicate until recent centuries. So they grew up totally in their own ways with almost no interference (干扰) from the other.(但更重要的是，由于东西方之间的距离遥远和地形险峻，这两种文化直到最近几个世纪之前都很少交流。所以它们完全以自己的方式发展，几乎没有受到对方的干扰)”可知，东西方文化直到最近几个世纪之前都很少交流的一个原因是东西方距离太远。故选C项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“But different cultures make the world of 21st century more colorful. The cultural difference should not be the obstacle to the civilization of human being. It ought to be the driving force of our going farther(但不同的文化使21世纪的世界更加丰富多彩。文化差异不应成为人类文明的障碍。它应该是我们前进的动力)”可知，作者认为文化差异让世界更精彩，不应成为障碍而应是前进动力，由此可推断作者对东西方文化差异持积极的态度。故选B项。 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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Tens of thousands of nature lovers see black bears and grizzly bears each year____16____But for the unfortunate few, bear encounters can lead to serious injury or death. If you come upon a bear in its natural setting, your first reaction may be to feel frightened. But staying safe depends on acting carefully and calmly. ____17____Some people would suggest running away, but bears can run much faster than humans can. Others say a person should drop to the ground and play dead.____18____It is best to be as educated as possible about different bear behaviors before you head into the wild. If a bear is coming towards you, you must first determine if the bear attack is defensive（such as when protecting young bears）or predatory（捕食性的）（such as when hunting）.____19____Most grizzly bear attacks are defensive. When a bear is defensive, it is feeling threatened. Dropping to the ground is an effective way to show the bear that you are not a threat. Black bears do not often challenge humans, but when they do, their attacks are usually predatory. Bears do not feel threatened when they are hunting, so playing dead will not help you stay safe. During a predatory bear attack, the first thing you should do is drop any food you have and back away. If the bear still comes towards you, make as much noise as possible by shouting and hitting objects.____20____. You can also use pepper spray（喷雾）during a bear attack. Always bring it with you in the wild, and have it ready to use without delay. A. It is a good idea to collect some facts about bears. B. Your frightening behaviour can make the bear back down. C. Most walk away with exciting memories and photographs. D. That turns out to be a hint in some situations but not in others. E. Black bears and grizzly bears are likely to attack for different reasons. F. You should learn some life-saving skills before going on a hike in the wild. G. There are many ideas about how a person should react when faced with bears. 【答案】16. C 17. G 18. D 19. E 20. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了在野外遇到熊时应该如何保护自己。文章通过讲述不同情况下熊的行为和应对措施，强调了了解熊的习性和采取正确行动的重要性。 【16题详解】 根据空后内容“But for the unfortunate few, bear encounters can lead to serious injury or death.(但对于少数不幸的人来说，与熊的邂逅可能会导致严重的伤害或死亡。)”中的“but”可推测，空处内容和本句内容相反。选项C“Most walk away with exciting memories and photographs.(大多数人带着激动人心的回忆和照片离开。)”指的是大多数遇到熊都很安全，和下文内容存在转折关系。故选C。 【17题详解】 根据空后的内容“Some people would suggest running away, but bears can run much faster than humans can. Others say a person should drop to the ground and play dead(有些人会建议逃跑，但是熊比人类跑得快得多。还有人说人应该倒在地上装死。)”可知，下文建议了人们在遇到熊的时候应该如何做。选项G“There are many ideas about how a person should react when faced with bears.(关于一个人在面对熊时应该如何反应，有很多想法。)”引出下文具体内容。故选G。 【18题详解】 根据空后内容“It is best to be as educated as possible about different bear behaviors before you head into the wild.(在你进入野外之前，最好尽可能多地了解熊的不同行为。)”可知，上文的这些应对熊的方式还不够全面。选项D“That turns out to be a hint in some situations but not in others.(这在某些情况下是一种提示，但在其他情况下不是。)”承上启下，承接上文说明上文提到的建议有时候是有用的，同时指出有时候这些建议是没有用的，从而引出下文内容，指出我们应该尽可能多地了解熊的不同行为。故选D。 【19题详解】 根据空前内容“If a bear is coming towards you, you must first determine if the bear attack is defensive（such as when protecting young bears）or predatory（捕食性的）（such as when hunting）.(如果熊向你走来，你必须首先确定熊的攻击是防御性的(比如在保护幼熊的时候)还是掠夺性的(比如在狩猎的时候)。)”可知，熊的攻击方式是不同的，我们要确定熊的攻击方式。选项E“Black bears and grizzly bears are likely to attack for different reasons.(黑熊和灰熊攻击人的原因不同。)”延续上文内容，指的是黑熊和灰熊攻击人的原因不同，同时引出下文“Most grizzly bear attacks are defensive.(大多数灰熊的攻击都是防御性的。)”。故选E。 【20题详解】 根据空前内容“If the bear still comes towards you, make as much noise as possible by shouting and hitting objects.(如果熊仍然向你走来，尽可能大声喊叫和击打物体。)”可知，熊向你走来时，你可以尽可能大声喊叫或击打物体。选项B“Your frightening behaviour can make the bear back down.(你的可怕行为会让熊后退。)”延续上文内容，指的是你大声喊叫或击打物体这样的可怕行为可能会让熊后退。故选B。 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。 One of the greatest things about getting out of the city is heading into nature and really enjoy the Earth and wildlife.

As the point guard (控球后卫) of the school team, he carried the hopes of his teammates and classmates. One key game could lead them to the regional finals, a stage they hadn’t reached in years. Alex felt the pressure but was determined to lead his team to victory. On the day of the game, the gym was filled with cheering students and teachers. Alex felt a rush of excitement when he carried the ball across the court. The game was intense (激烈的), with both teams neck and neck. In the final seconds, with the score tied, Alex had the chance to make the winning shot. He took a jump and released the ball, but it missed the goal. The whistle (口哨) blew, and the opposing team caught the chance, scoring a last-second basket. Alex’s team lost. “How could I have missed scoring that goal? I had let the whole team down” Alex thought to himself. His stupid mistake made him angry. Sad and depressed, Alex walked back home, replaying the missed shot in his mind. His parents immediately noticed his sadness. “What happened, Alex?” his mother asked. “I messed up the final shot. We lost because of me,” he replied, heading straight to his room, feeling like he had let everyone down. Later, his father came to his room. “Alex, I watched the game. You played well. It’s not just about one shot. Basketball is a team sport. You win together, and you lose together. Learn from this and grow. Your team needs you.” Alex didn’t say anything, but his father’s words made him think carefully. 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。 The next day at school, Alex walked to his teammates hesitantly (犹豫地). ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ This response (回复) lifted Alex’s spirits. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文： The next day at school, Alex walked to his teammates hesitantly (犹豫的).

The team stopped and gathered around him. “Alex, it’s not just on you,” said the team captain, patting him on his shoulder. “We all had moments we could have done better. It’s about the team, not just one person or one shot.” This response (回复) lifted Alex’s spirits. He realized that his mistake was a part of the game, and it didn’t ruin him or his value to the team. Encouraged by his teammates’ support, he joined in the practice with renewed energy. Together, they focused on their plays, improving their cooperation and encouraging each other. As they left the gym, Alex felt a strong sense of belonging and determination. He knew that together, as a team, they were stronger and ready to face the next challenge. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索，讲述了亚历克斯是篮球队的主力，承载着队友和同学的希望，但是在一场关键的比赛中因为自己愚蠢的错误，球队输了比赛。亚历克斯感到愧对队友，非常沮丧的回到家里，父亲看到后鼓励亚历克斯，篮球比赛是团队比赛，他已经非常尽力了，亚历克斯陷入深思。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句“第二天在学校，亚历克斯犹豫地走向他的队友。”以及第二段首句“这个回答使亚历克斯精神振奋。”可推断，第一段可描述亚历克斯给队友道歉，队友们说这不是他一个人的错误，应是是团队的努力，呼应最后一段父亲说的话。 ②由第二段首句“这个回答使亚历克斯精神振奋。”可推断，第二段可描述亚历克斯重新振奋精神，重新焕发活力，团队共同努力以及他的感悟。 2.续写线索 道歉——鼓励——焕发活力——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①聚集：gather around→flock together ②意识到：realize→be aware ③鼓励：encourage→hearten 情感类 ①道歉：say sorry for→apologize for ②遗憾：be filled with regret→say regretfully 【点睛】【高分句型1】Encouraged by his teammates’ support, he joined in the practice with renewed energy.（运用了过去分词作状语） 【高分句型2】Together, they focused on their plays, improving their cooperation and encouraging each other.（运用了现在分词作状语） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 永昌县第一高级中学2024—2025—2高一期中试卷 英语 考生注意： 1. 本试卷由四个部分组成。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；非选择题请用直径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. 本卷命题范围：北师大版必修第三册Unit 7～Unit 9。 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.

B The World’s oldest pen pals have both turned 100 after 84 years of transatlantic (跨大洋) letters. Geoff Banks from Honiton, Devon, UK and Celesta Byrne, from the US, started to write to each other when they were just 16 in 1938. They met as part of an educational project to put British and American students in contact and 84 years later they still keep contacting. Geoff once was a retired engineer. He said, “I can’t quite remember how we could get in touch, but I was talking to Celesta recently. And I think it was something to do with an American school’s plan. The plan matched us up with Americans for a pen pal relationship and somehow I ended up with this letter from an American girl, and we just kept contacting ever since. There were a couple of years when we tried very hard to keep in touch because of the war. Now of course she is poorly sighted, so I contact mainly by email to one of her daughters who lives nearby. Email is much easier for me these days too, because I can’t write very well anymore. In the email, we just talk about our daily lives and our own families. She’s always been there to write to. even if it was just birthday cards and Christmas cards.” Though they have chatted for over 80 years, the pair has only ever met twice — their first meeting in 2002 while Geoff visited New York, and then two years later. Nowadays, Geoff is a great grandfather. He lives a happy life. He has three sons who settles across the world and many more grandchildren. “I have this new thing called Zoom. I think now it’s time to chat with her, but I leave all the technology to younger people. They’re much better at pressing all the buttons”. 4. What may bring Geoff and Celesta to be pen pals? A. An American school’s plan. B. Geoff’s visit to New York. C. The world war. D. Communication technology. 5. Why did Geoff use email to write letters later? A. Because he relied on Zoom to chat. B. Because he suffered from eye disease. C. Because he was unable to write well. D. Because writing is too boring for him. 6. What can we infer from the passage? A. Pen pals are true friends. B. True friendship survives time and space. C Letters were not allowed during the war. D. Technology builds friendship. 7. What does the passage mainly talk about? A. A Zoom: a new technology to chat. B. A great way to keep in touch. C. Importance of being pen pals. D. Oldest pen pals in the world. C One million species face extinction, more than ever before in human history, according to a UN report released in May. And humans should be responsible. The researchers based the assessment (评估) on some 15,000 sources considering the causes and results of environmental changes over the past 50 years. The findings are clear and alarming. The researchers have found that about 25 percent of the world’s plants and animals are at risk of extinction. These include sea and land animals. Even the domesticated (驯养的) animals are at risk: Over 9 percent of the domesticated animal species used for food and agriculture might have been lost. There are some big problems. This rapid decrease of the natural world endangers global food safety and quality of life. For example about 4 billion people rely on natural medicines, produced by the disappearing species, for their health care. The researchers identified five drivers responsible for the bad news. They think at the top of the list is the change of land and sea use. The change in ecosystems towards agriculture, aquaculture and other human developments has led to changes in the natural living space of species. It is followed by the direct overuse of creatures (harvesting crops, cutting down the trees, hunting and fishing) and climate change, including rising sea levels and increasing extreme-weather events, wildfires, floods and droughts. The final causes of species extinction are pollution, especially plastics, and the spread of non-native species that can kill native plants and animals. In fact, good ecosystems can promote the growth of species. The researchers say it is time for humans to act. They think maybe a new global way to save food and refuse waste in our life can turn the tables. Whether that is possible is an open question. 8. What is the main purpose of the first paragraph? A. To introduce the topic of the text. B. To introduce the schedule of the report. C. To introduce humans’ sense of responsibility. D. To introduce the history of human development. 9. What does paragraph 3 mainly show? A. The reliability of the findings. B. The species of animals worldwide. C. The seriousness of species’ reduction. D. The risky experiences of the researchers. 10. Which word best describes the relationship between species and ecosystems? A. Narrow. B. Interdependent. C. Competitive. D. Unrelated. 11. What does the underlined phrase “turn the tables” in the last paragraph mean? A. Change the situations. B. Ask the open questions. C. Pollute the environments. D. Turn the tables upside and down. D The cultures of the East and the West are really different from each other a lot. This is because the culture systems are two separate ones on the whole. The origin of the Eastern culture is mainly from two countries: China and India. Both of the two cultures are developed by rivers — the Yellow River in China and the Hindu River in India. They helped the two cultures develop for centuries and form their own styles. When the two mother rivers gave birth to the Eastern culture, another famous culture was up on the Mesopotamian Plain — the Mesopotamian Civilization. This civilization later on developed into the cultures of Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome. And these two are well-known as the base of the European culture. Like the Chinese culture, the European culture also crossed waters. When the British settled down in America, their culture went with them over the Atlantic Ocean. So the American culture doesn’t have much difference from the European culture. At the same time, some other differences add to the cultural differences. Take the language system for example. In the East, most languages belong to the pictographic (象形) language while the western languages are mostly based on the Latin system. Other causes like human race differences count as well. But what’s more, due to the far distance and the steep areas between the East and the west, the two cultures seldom communicate until recent centuries. So they grew up totally in their own ways with almost no interference (干扰) from the other. The differences are everywhere. They are obvious and make people’s ways of thinking and their views of the world different. But different cultures make the world of 21st century more colorful. The cultural difference should not be the obstacle to the civilization of human being. It ought to be the driving force of our going farther. 12. What is the text mainly about? A. The origin of cultures. B. Culture differences. C. Language systems. D. Colorful world. 13. Why is the American culture similar to the European culture? A.

As the point guard (控球后卫) of the school team, he carried the hopes of his teammates and classmates. One key game could lead them to the regional finals, a stage they hadn’t reached in years. Alex felt the pressure but was determined to lead his team to victory. On the day of the game, the gym was filled with cheering students and teachers. Alex felt a rush of excitement when he carried the ball across the court. The game was intense (激烈的), with both teams neck and neck. In the final seconds, with the score tied, Alex had the chance to make the winning shot. He took a jump and released the ball, but it missed the goal. The whistle (口哨) blew, and the opposing team caught the chance, scoring a last-second basket. Alex’s team lost. “How could I have missed scoring that goal? I had let the whole team down,” Alex thought to himself. His stupid mistake made him angry. Sad and depressed, Alex walked back home, replaying the missed shot in his mind. His parents immediately noticed his sadness. “What happened, Alex?” his mother asked. “I messed up the final shot. We lost because of me,” he replied, heading straight to his room, feeling like he had let everyone down. Later, his father came to his room. “Alex, I watched the game. You played well. It’s not just about one shot. Basketball is a team sport. You win together, and you lose together. Learn from this and grow. Your team needs you.” Alex didn’t say anything, but his father’s words made him think carefully. 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。 The next day at school, Alex walked to his teammates hesitantly (犹豫地). ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ This response (回复) lifted Alex’s spirits. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
