They were always behind her wherever she went. One day a newspaper boy noticed Granny’s newspapers hadn’t been picked up for three or four days. The dogs and cats in her yard were a bit thinner and moved slowly. He had not seen Granny for about a week. He wondered whether she was all right. He got off his bike and walked to the front door. He called, “Hello! Anyone here?” He listened for a while and seemed to hear a whimpering sound. He quickly rode to the closest neighbor Mrs. Green’s house and called 911. When the police arrived, they found Granny had fallen and had not been able to move to call for help. The doctors said Granny needed to go to the hospital and stay there for a few days. While Granny was in the hospital, some neighbors came o feed her pets every day. And some neighbors took care of her until her daughter arrived. Luckily, Granny was soon well.

Any time an astronaut gets out of a spacecraft while in space, it is called a spacewalk. Astronauts go on spacewalks for many reasons. For example, experiments can be placed on the outside of a spacecraft. This lets scientists learn how being in space affects different things. By going on spacewalks, astronauts can also fix certain things instead of bringing them back to the earth to fix. When astronauts go on spacewalks, they wear spacesuits to keep themselves safe. Inside spacesuits, astronauts have the oxygen they need to breathe and the water they need to drink. To keep the astronauts and the spacecraft safe, the astronauts must leave and go back to the spacecraft through a special door. When on a spacewalk, astronauts use safety tethers to stay close to their spacecraft, which connect the spacewalkers with the spacecraft. They keep astronauts from floating away into space. Another way astronauts stay safe during spacewalks is by wearing a SAFER. SAFER is worn like a backpack. It helps an astronaut move around in space. How do astronauts train for spacewalks? One way is by going for a swim. Floating in space is a lot like floating in water. Astronauts practice spacewalks underwater in a huge special swimming pool. For every one hour they will spend on a spacewalk, astronauts need to train seven hours in the pool. Another way astronauts practice for a spacewalk is by using virtual reality (虚拟现实). It looks and feels just like a spacewalk. Today, only three countries have finished spacewalks independently. They are Russia, the United States and China. The first person to go on a spacewalk in the world was Alexei Leonov from Russia. Zhai Zhigang is the first Chinese astronaut to go on a spacewalk. 8. What can an astronaut do by going on a spacewalk? A. Fix different objects. B. Collect any things he wants. C. Carry out an experiment. D. Study how things changes in space. 9. What does the underlined word “tethers” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Special ropes. B. Spacesuits. C. Spacecraft. D. Special backpacks. 10. According to Paragraph 3, how many ways to train astronauts for spacewalk? A. One. B. Two. C. Three. D. Four. 11. What can we learn from he last two paragraphs? A. Waling in space is as easy as going swimming. B. A virtual reality is useless in a spacewalk. C. Only three countries have never tried spacewalks. D. Alexei Leonov is the first man to go on a spacewalk. 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了太空行走的定义、原因、宇航员进行太空行走时的安全措施以及他们如何为太空行走进行训练，还提到了哪些国家能够独立完成太空行走以及历史上著名的太空行走者。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Astronauts go on spacewalks for many reasons. For example, experiments can be placed on the outside of a spacecraft. This lets scientists learn how being in space affects different things.(宇航员进行太空行走的原因有很多。例如，实验可以放置在航天器的外部，这可以让科学家了解太空对不同事物的影响)”可知，宇航员进行太空行走可以在航天器外部进行实验，让科学家了解太空对不同事物的影响。故选C。 【9题详解】 词义猜测题。根据划线单词所在句“When on a spacewalk, astronauts use safety tethers to stay close to their spacecraft, which connect the spacewalkers with the spacecraft. They keep astronauts from floating away into space.(在太空行走时，宇航员会使用安全……与航天器保持近距离连接，这些系绳将进行太空行走的宇航员与航天器相连，防止他们漂入太空中。)”可推测，“tethers”是连接宇航员与航天器、防止漂浮的装置。结合常识，太空中用于固定的安全装置通常为绳索类工具。选项A“Special ropes(特殊绳索)”与此相符。故选A。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“How do astronauts train for spacewalks? One way is by going for a swim. Floating in space is a lot like floating in water. Astronauts practice spacewalks underwater in a huge special swimming pool. For every one hour they will spend on a spacewalk, astronauts need to train seven hours in the pool. Another way astronauts practice for a spacewalk is by using virtual reality (虚拟现实). It looks and feels just like a spacewalk.(宇航员如何为太空行走训练？一种方法是游泳。在太空中漂浮很像在水中漂浮，宇航员会在一个巨大的特殊游泳池中进行水下太空行走训练。每进行一小时的太空行走，宇航员需要在游泳池中训练七小时。另一种训练方式是使用虚拟现实技术，其视觉和感觉体验与真实的太空行走几乎一样)”可知，宇航员进行太空行走训练有两种方式：在特殊游泳池进行水下训练和使用虚拟现实技术。故选B。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“The first person to go on a spacewalk in the world was Alexei Leonov from Russia.(世界上首位进行太空行走的人是俄罗斯的阿列克谢・列昂诺夫)”可知，阿列克谢・列昂诺夫是世界上首位进行太空行走的人。故选D。 D Researchers in Singapore found that eating mushrooms over twice per week could help prevent memory and language problems later in life According to the study, published in The Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease, there is a unique antioxidant (抗氧化物质) present in mushrooms that helps protect certain brain functions. Researchers observed 663 Chinese adults aged over 60 whose diets and lifestyles were tracked from 2011 to 2017. In the study, the participants were asked how often they ate six different types of mushrooms: oyster, shiitake, white button, dried, golden and tinned. The findings showed that eating more than two shares of mushrooms per week somehow lowered the chances of mild cognitive impairment (认知缺陷) (MCI) by 50% against those who ate fewer than one share. MCI is a condition that can make people forgetful, affect their memory and cause problems with language, attention and finding the exact position of objects in space. Changes in behavior can be not very noticeable and not serious enough to be known as dementia (痴呆). Participants who ate more mushrooms were found to perform better in thinking and processing exams and also exhibited a faster processing speed. The advantage was reportedly more apparent in those who ate more than two shares a week or more than 300 grams. The scientists pointed out, however, that they have yet to put up a direct link between the fungi (蘑菇) and brain function. The researchers also acknowledged that since this study mainly relied on self-reported information on mushroom intake and other dietary factors, further studies may be required. Still, the lead study author Lei Feng is encouraged by their findings. “This relevance is surprising and encouraging,” Lei said. Mushrooms are one of the richest dietary sources of ergothioneine (麦角硫茵氨基酸) — a substance which we humans can’t make on our own. 12. What aspect of research did researchers mainly do in paragraph 3? A. Culture of diets B. Existence of MCI. C. The types of mushrooms D. The benefit of eating mushrooms. 13. What can we know about MCI? A. It can affect eyesight seriously. B. It can result in language problems. C. It can make people easy to be angry. D. It can reduce the chance of forgetfulness. 14. What is the result if students often eat more mushrooms? A. They love communicating with others. B. Their thinking ability is quicker than the majority. C. Their processing speed will be faster. D. Their academic performance improves significantly. 15. Where is the passage most likely from? A. An advertisement. B. A diary. C. A science report. D. A novel. 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了新加坡研究人员的一项研究发现，即每周食用蘑菇超过两次可能有助于预防老年时的记忆和语言问题，并详细阐述了研究的过程、结果以及相关的科学解释。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Researchers observed 663 Chinese adults aged over 60 whose diets and lifestyles were tracked from 2011 to 2017. In the study, the participants were asked how often they ate six different types of mushrooms: oyster, shiitake, white button, dried, golden and tinned. The findings showed that eating more than two shares of mushrooms per week somehow lowered the chances of mild cognitive impairment (认知缺陷) (MCI) by 50% against those who ate fewer than one share.(研究人员观察了663名60岁以上的中国成年人，从2011年到2017年追踪他们的饮食和生活方式。在研究中，参与者被问及他们食用六种不同类型蘑菇的频率：牡蛎菇、香菇、白蘑菇、干蘑菇、金针菇和罐头蘑菇。研究结果显示，每周食用超过两份蘑菇的人，出现轻度认知障碍的几率比每周食用少于一份的人低50%)”可知，研究人员追踪了663名60岁以上中国成年人的饮食和生活方式，询问他们食用六种蘑菇的频率，并对比了不同摄入量与轻度认知障碍风险的关系。核心在于探究食用蘑菇的频率与健康益处的关联。故选D。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“MCI is a condition that can make people forgetful, affect their memory and cause problems with language, attention and finding the exact position of objects in space.(轻度认知障碍（MCI）是一种会使人健忘、影响记忆力，并导致语言、注意力和空间物体定位问题的病症)”可知，MCI 会导致健忘、记忆问题、语言障碍、注意力问题和空间定位困难。故选B。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第五段“Participants who ate more mushrooms were found to perform better in thinking and processing exams and also exhibited a faster processing speed.(研究发现，食用更多蘑菇的参与者在思维和处理能力测试中表现更好，处理速度也更快)”可知，食用更多蘑菇的参与者在思维和处理能力测试中表现更好，且处理速度更快。故选C。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章内容可知，本文围绕新加坡研究人员关于“食用蘑菇与预防认知障碍”的研究展开，包含研究背景、方法、结果及科学家的讨论，具有典型的科学研究报道特征。因此，这篇文章最有可能选自科学报道。故选C。 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。 Are you trying to find ways to be more efficient at your job? ___16___ They take breaks.

Many kids love sports, but I am not one of them.I prefer to stay at home and read. I don’t like running. so in a team am a bad player. The coach is tired of me and my teammates sometimes think I’ m useless. I have no idea how to play football.Usually ,after practice my teammates would ask me to stay out of the game and I would just nod. Last Thursday,the coach told us that we would be competing with some other team in a month and many people would come to see the game. Our opponents(对手)were the last winner and I froze(呆住)at the thought of the embarrassment()I would face if the team lost because of me. So I decided to practice hard for the match and I went to practice every single day. After one month, when the game day came my teammates were reluctant(不愿意的)to take me in the team,and I also wished to stay away from the ground as well. But as luck would have it they were short of one player and had no choice but to take me in the team. Our team was named the Big Blues.There was a great cheer on our arrival in the field.I got very nervous.The game started and within two minutes, I got a blue card. By the time I was allowed back the score was two goals for each team and the next goal would decide the winning team. 注意:1续写词数应为150左右; 2.请按如下格式相应位置作答。 When the ball came towards me, I froze. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ All my teammates ran towards me to lift me in the air. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: When the ball came towards me, I froze. My teammates were very tired and seemed worried.The opponents rushed towards me. Without thinking anymore, I found courage, and with all my might, I kicked the ball. The opponents didn’t think highly of me, so they didn’t think that I would be able to kick the ball so powerfully. As I kicked, the goalkeeper jumped towards the ball. As the ball hit the back of the net,I heard a big cheer. The Big Blues won the match! All my teammates ran towards me to lift me in the air Since that day, I have gained some confidence and started to play better My coach and teammates are also happy with me and they try to improve my skills every time I play. Now I have realized that I always liked this sport, but my problem with it had something to do with the lack of encouragement I got. Now I can build on my confidence and I’ve realized I can also play this sport very well. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者本不喜欢足球运动，但是父亲却要自己去足球俱乐部，所以队员和教练都疏远自己，但是在一次重要比赛中，作者帮助球队进了关键的一球，队员和教练对作者赞赏有加，增加了作者的信心，作者喜欢上了运动。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“当球向我飞来时，我愣住了。”可知，第一段可描写作者如何帮助球队进了制胜的一球。 ②由第二段首句内容“当球击中球网背面时，我听到一阵热烈的欢呼。”可知，第二段可描写作者获得了队员和教练的赞扬，以及作者的感悟。 2. 续写线索：不喜欢运动—受到教练和队员的不喜—有比赛—踢进制胜一球—受到表扬—感悟 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①看起来：seem/look like/appear ②想都没想：without thinking anymore/without further thought/without second thought ③获得：gain/obtain/achieve ④提高：improve/get better/enhance 情绪类 ①担心的：worried/anxious/apprehensive ②快乐：happy/contented/pleased 【点睛】[高分句型1]The opponents didn’t think highly of me, so they didn’t think that I would be able to kick the ball so powerfully.（that引导的宾语从句） [高分句型2]Now I have realized that I always liked this sport, but my problem with it had something to do with the lack of encouragement I got.（that引导的宾语从句，以及省略that的定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 甘肃省华池县第一中学2024-2025学年度第二学期期中考试 高二英语 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：选择性必修第三册。 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.

She asked nothing of anyone and did nothing for anyone, except her pets. She had five dogs and four cats. They were always behind her wherever she went. One day a newspaper boy noticed Granny’s newspapers hadn’t been picked up for three or four days. The dogs and cats in her yard were a bit thinner and moved slowly. He had not seen Granny for about a week. He wondered whether she was all right. He got off his bike and walked to the front door. He called, “Hello! Anyone here?” He listened for a while and seemed to hear a whimpering sound. He quickly rode to the closest neighbor Mrs. Green’s house and called 911. When the police arrived, they found Granny had fallen and had not been able to move to call for help. The doctors said Granny needed to go to the hospital and stay there for a few days. While Granny was in the hospital, some neighbors came o feed her pets every day. And some neighbors took care of her until her daughter arrived. Luckily, Granny was soon well.

Any time an astronaut gets out of a spacecraft while in space, it is called a spacewalk. Astronauts go on spacewalks for many reasons. For example, experiments can be placed on the outside of a spacecraft. This lets scientists learn how being in space affects different things. By going on spacewalks, astronauts can also fix certain things instead of bringing them back to the earth to fix. When astronauts go on spacewalks, they wear spacesuits to keep themselves safe. Inside spacesuits, astronauts have the oxygen they need to breathe and the water they need to drink. To keep the astronauts and the spacecraft safe, the astronauts must leave and go back to the spacecraft through a special door. When on a spacewalk, astronauts use safety tethers to stay close to their spacecraft, which connect the spacewalkers with the spacecraft. They keep astronauts from floating away into space. Another way astronauts stay safe during spacewalks is by wearing a SAFER. SAFER is worn like a backpack. It helps an astronaut move around in space. How do astronauts train for spacewalks? One way is by going for a swim. Floating in space is a lot like floating in water. Astronauts practice spacewalks underwater in a huge special swimming pool. For every one hour they will spend on a spacewalk, astronauts need to train seven hours in the pool. Another way astronauts practice for a spacewalk is by using virtual reality (虚拟现实). It looks and feels just like a spacewalk. Today only three countries have finished spacewalks independently. They are Russia, the United States and China. The first person to go on a spacewalk in the world was Alexei Leonov from Russia. Zhai Zhigang is the first Chinese astronaut to go on a spacewalk. 8. What can an astronaut do by going on a spacewalk? A. Fix different objects. B. Collect any things he wants. C. Carry out an experiment. D. Study how things changes in space. 9. What does the underlined word “tethers” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Special ropes. B. Spacesuits. C. Spacecraft. D. Special backpacks. 10. According to Paragraph 3, how many ways to train astronauts for spacewalk? A. One. B. Two. C. Three. D. Four. 11. What can we learn from he last two paragraphs? A. Waling in space is as easy as going swimming. B A virtual reality is useless in a spacewalk. C. Only three countries have never tried spacewalks. D. Alexei Leonov is the first man to go on a spacewalk. D Researchers in Singapore found that eating mushrooms over twice per week could help prevent memory and language problems later in life. According to the study, published in The Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease, there is a unique antioxidant (抗氧化物质) present in mushrooms that helps protect certain brain functions. Researchers observed 663 Chinese adults aged over 60 whose diets and lifestyles were tracked from 2011 to 2017. In the study, the participants were asked how often they ate six different types of mushrooms: oyster, shiitake, white button, dried, golden and tinned. The findings showed that eating more than two shares of mushrooms per week somehow lowered the chances of mild cognitive impairment (认知缺陷) (MCI) by 50% against those who ate fewer than one share. MCI is a condition that can make people forgetful, affect their memory and cause problems with language, attention and finding the exact position of objects in space. Changes in behavior can be not very noticeable and not serious enough to be known as dementia (痴呆). Participants who ate more mushrooms were found to perform better in thinking and processing exams and also exhibited a faster processing speed. The advantage was reportedly more apparent in those who ate more than two shares a week or more than 300 grams. The scientists pointed out, however, that they have yet to put up a direct link between the fungi (蘑菇) and brain function. The researchers also acknowledged that since this study mainly relied on self-reported information on mushroom intake and other dietary factors, further studies may be required. Still, the lead study author Lei Feng is encouraged by their findings. “This relevance is surprising and encouraging,” Lei said. Mushrooms are one of the richest dietary sources of ergothioneine (麦角硫茵氨基酸) — a substance which we humans can’t make on our own. 12. What aspect of research did researchers mainly do in paragraph 3? A. Culture of diets B. Existence of MCI. C. The types of mushrooms D. The benefit of eating mushrooms. 13. What can we know about MCI? A. It can affect eyesight seriously. B. It can result in language problems. C. It can make people easy to be angry. D. It can reduce the chance of forgetfulness. 14. What is the result if students often eat more mushrooms? A. They love communicating with others. B. Their thinking ability is quicker than the majority. C. Their processing speed will be faster. D. Their academic performance improves significantly. 15. Where is the passage most likely from? A An advertisement. B. A diary. C. A science report. D.
