B Millions of Americans sit behind a computer screen, chained to their desk all day because the vast majority of stable, high-paying professions are “office jobs”. However, having a successful career does not require you to sit behind a desk and plug away at a computer all day. In fact, there are a large number of non-desk jobs in a variety of industries that are growing and offering workers a direct path to the middle class, according to a new analysis of labor market information from CareerBuilder. While most of the highest-paying non-desk jobs are medical professions that require a doctoral or professional degree, there are 170 non-desk professions that pay $15 per hour or more, do not require a bachelors degree for a typical entry-level position, and have seen at least 6 percent job growth over the last four years. The US workforce has gradually changed to office-based work because of the rise of the professional service economy and productivity gains associated with information technology,” Rosemary Haefner, Vice President of Human Resources Officer at CareerBuilder, said in a statement. But some of the healthiest areas of job growth year after year are in middle-skill professions that don’t require workers to sit in front of computer monitors and phones for 40 hours a week.” Here are the top-paying jobs that don’t require you to work at a desk in various kinds — none of which require a four-year college degree — and their hourly salary and growth rate since 2010: professional assistants : $26.57, 14 percent; elevator repairers: $37.81, 6 percent; mechanical engineering technicians: $25.19, 10 percent; and electromechanical technicians: $24.68, 8 percent. While they tend to pay less than traditional office jobs, non-desk professions provide a variety of benefits. Haefner points to a 2014 CareerBuilder survey that discovered workers who don’t work at a desk all day are less likely to complain about their work environment and less likely to report being overweight. 4. What does the underlined phrase “plug away” in the first paragraph probably mean? A. Turn off a switch. B. Look for a job. C. Keep on working. D. Give up working. 5. What conclusion can we draw from the second paragraph? A. A non-desk job may provide you with a middle-class life. B. The last four years has seen an increase in desk jobs. C. The college degree is the ticket to a position. D. A non-desk job cannot offer you a secure life. 6. What is the key reason for the US workforce to change to office-based work? A. High salary. B. Medicine. C. Information technology. D. Work environment. 7. The writer attempts to tell us that _________. A. “office jobs” are appealing to the middle class B. non-desk jobs are a good choice for us C. office jobs” are secure and high-paying D. non-desk professions are better than office jobs C The Intelligent Transport team at Newcastle University have turned an electric car into a mobile laboratory named “Drive LAB” in order to understand the challenges faced by older drivers and to discover where the key stress points are. Research shows that giving up driving is one of the key reasons for a fall in health and well-being among older people, leading to them becoming more isolated (隔绝) and inactive. Led by Professor Phil Blythe, the Newcastle team are developing in-vehicle technologies for older drivers which they hope could help them to continue driving into later life. These include custom-made navigation (导航) tools, night vision systems and intelligent speed adaptations. Phil Blythe explains: “For many older people, particularly those living alone or in the country, driving is important for preserving their independence, giving them the freedom to get out and about without having to rely on others.” “But we all have to accept that as we get older our reactions slow down and this often results in people avoiding any potentially challenging driving conditions and losing confidence in their driving skills. The result is that people stop driving before they really need to.” Dr Amy Guo, the leading researcher on the older driver study, explains, “The Drive LAB is helping us to understand what the key points and difficulties are for older drivers and how we might use technology to address these problems.” “For example, most of us would expect older drivers always go slower than everyone else but surprisingly, we found that in 30mph zones they struggled to keep at a constant speed and so were more likely to break the speed limit and be at risk of getting fined. We’re looking at the benefits of systems which control their speed as a way of preventing that.” “We hope that our work will help with technological solutions (解决方案) to ensure that older drivers stay safer behind the wheel.” 8. What is the purpose of the Drive LAB? A. To explore new means of transport. B. To design new types of cars. C. To find out older driver’s problems. D. To teach people traffic rules. 9. Why is driving important for older people according to Phil Blythe? A. It helps them save time. B. It keeps them independent. C. It builds up their strength. D. It cures their mental illnesses. 10. What do researchers hope to do for older drivers? A. Develop driver-assist technologies. B. Improve their driving skills. C. Provide tips on repairing their cars. D. Organize regular physical checkups. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. A New Model Electric Car B. A Solution to Traffic Problem C. Driving Service for Elders D. Keeping Older Drivers on the Road D At a few minutes past five, Dave noted that the blanket of darkness was lifting. He was just able to make out the heavier masses that eventually appeared as the familiar trees that lined the road at the base of the hill. The upper reaches of the sky showed lighter shades of gray. Dave got out of bed quietly and dressed quickly. He mixed a spoonful of instant chocolate into a glass of cold water, and his impatience forced him to finish the drink in gulps. As he walked down toward the lake, Dave paused to reach for the fishing pole and gear box on the bench where he had left them the night before. By the time where he reached the small boat, a thick white mist (雾气) had spread over the surface of the water. He stepped into the boat, sat down, and rowed out of the weed beds that lined the edge of the shore. The outer fringe (边缘) of the lake disappeared as the boat moved forward noiselessly. All he could see was the enveloping whiteness. He could not tell where the boat and the surrounding air met the surface of the lake. Dave rowed steadily ahead, relying on a mental picture of the surroundings. Then the mist began to rise, slowly. It soon rested inches above the still surface of the lake. The heavy silence was now being broken by the fish breaking through the surface as they leaped out of the water for low-flying insects. The magic time had arrived. Dave raised his pole. Dawn was broken. He was excited with expectancy. 12. Dave got up early in the morning to . A. enjoy the scene of the lake B. seek adventure at the lake C. go fishing in the lake D. take a walk by the lake 13. According to the story, which of the following is TRUE? A. Dave broke the quietness of the lake. B. Dave was familiar with the surroundings. C. Dave took a picture of the lake with him. D. Dave forgot the fishing pole at the beginning. 14. The underlined word “It” in Paragraph 6 refers to . A. fish B. boat C. silence D. mist 15. What can we learn from the end of the story? A. Dave was hopeful of catching a lot of fish. B. Dave wished the weather would be better. C. Dave was happy that dawn was broken. D. Dave expected someone else would come. 第二节（共5小题，每小题2.5分；满分12.5） With planes, cars, buses, cruises, and all sorts of new technologies out there, you might wonder: Why do people still travel by train? ____16____ Whether you’re rolling through the hills of Scotland, or traveling domestically on our Canadian Rockies tour, the benefits will become clearer than the rivers and lakes you’ll pass by along the way.

Yet, I remember one particular day from my childhood so vividly as if it were yesterday. It was a sunlit morning in the spring of 1963, and I was a second - grader at St. Simeon’s Elementary School. Every morning, my mom would pack up a bagged lunch for me, usually a peanut butter and jelly sandwich with an apple for dessert. I loved those lunches; they were a simple pleasure, a little piece of home to carry with me throughout the school day. That particular morning, the sky was clear and blue. As I reached the corner of Pusheck Road, I carefully placed my lunch on the sidewalk in order to shift my school books to a more comfortable position in my arms.（These were pre - backpack times!） The familiar yellow bus rolled up. Distracted（分心） by the excitement of the school day ahead, I got on the bus without a second thought about my lunch bag left behind. The bus driver, a middle - aged man with a friendly face, greeted me with his usual nod. Then I settled - into my seat, my mind already wandering to the day’s activities. It was only when the bus had left the stop and was halfway to school that I began to feel discomfort in my stomach. Then I realized that I had left my lunch on the sidewalk. Panic set in. My eyes filled with tears as I thought of missing out on my peanut butter and jelly sandwich and the apple that my mother had carefully selected. As we pulled into the school parking lot, I could no longer hold back my tears. The bus driver, noticing my distress（悲伤）, pulled over slightly and asked gently, “What’s wrong?” I choked out the story between sobs（啜泣）, explaining how I had left my lunch behind and how I was facing a long, hungry day. Paragraph 1: He listened carefully and then said “Don’t worry too much.” ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: At noon, our teacher, with a curious expression, approached me with a bag. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 天水一中高二级2024—2025学年度第二学期期中考试 英语试题 （满分：150分 时间：120分钟） 选择题部分 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.

B 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。介绍了有一个成功的职业生涯并不需要你必须在桌子后面，整天看着电脑。在各种行业中，有大量的非办公室工作正在增长，为工人提供了通往中产阶级的直接途径。 【4题详解】 词义猜测题。画线词前面：“However, having a successful career does not require you to sit behind a desk……”，然而，拥有一份成功的职业并不需要你整天坐在桌子后面埋头苦干，并列连词后是画线词，所以画线词的词义是与坐在桌子后面相对应的，4个选项中C切题，故选C。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。第二段：“In fact, there are a large number of non-desk jobs in a variety of industries that are growing and offering workers a direct path to the middle class,……”，讲到：事实上各行各业都有大量的非办公室工作，这些工作正在增长，为工人们提供了一条通往中产阶级的道路。所以，从第二段中能得出的结论就是非办公室工作可以能提供给你中产阶级的生活，故选A。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。第三段：“The US workforce has gradually changed to office-based work because of the rise of the professional service economy and productivity gains associated with information technology,”， 借Rosemary Haefner之口说出由于专业服务经济的崛起和与信息技术相关的生产率提高，美国劳动力已逐渐转向办公室工作。因此美国劳动力转向办公室工作的原因是信息技术，故选C。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。最后一段：“While they tend to pay less than traditional office jobs, non-desk professions provide a variety of benefits. Haefner points to a 2014 CareerBuilder survey that discovered workers who don’t work at a desk all day are less likely to complain about their work environment and less likely to report being overweight.”，作者讨论了非办公室工作也会提供给人们很多好处，比如：对工作环境抱怨更少，更不容易体重超重，所以这是作者想要告诉读者的：非办公室工作不失为一个好的选择。故选B。 C The Intelligent Transport team at Newcastle University have turned an electric car into a mobile laboratory named “Drive LAB” in order to understand the challenges faced by older drivers and to discover where the key stress points are. Research shows that giving up driving is one of the key reasons for a fall in health and well-being among older people, leading to them becoming more isolated (隔绝) and inactive. Led by Professor Phil Blythe, the Newcastle team are developing in-vehicle technologies for older drivers which they hope could help them to continue driving into later life. These include custom-made navigation (导航) tools, night vision systems and intelligent speed adaptations. Phil Blythe explains: “For many older people, particularly those living alone or in the country, driving is important for preserving their independence, giving them the freedom to get out and about without having to rely on others.” “But we all have to accept that as we get older our reactions slow down and this often results in people avoiding any potentially challenging driving conditions and losing confidence in their driving skills. The result is that people stop driving before they really need to.” Dr Amy Guo, the leading researcher on the older driver study, explains, “The Drive LAB is helping us to understand what the key points and difficulties are for older drivers and how we might use technology to address these problems.” “For example, most of us would expect older drivers always go slower than everyone else but surprisingly, we found that in 30mph zones they struggled to keep at a constant speed and so were more likely to break the speed limit and be at risk of getting fined. We’re looking at the benefits of systems which control their speed as a way of preventing that.” “We hope that our work will help with technological solutions (解决方案) to ensure that older drivers stay safer behind the wheel.” 8. What is the purpose of the Drive LAB? A. To explore new means of transport. B. To design new types of cars. C. To find out older driver’s problems. D. To teach people traffic rules. 9. Why is driving important for older people according to Phil Blythe? A. It helps them save time. B. It keeps them independent. C. It builds up their strength. D. It cures their mental illnesses. 10. What do researchers hope to do for older drivers? A. Develop driver-assist technologies. B. Improve their driving skills. C. Provide tips on repairing their cars. D. Organize regular physical checkups. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. A New Model Electric Car B. A Solution to Traffic Problem C. Driving Service for Elders D. Keeping Older Drivers on the Road 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了由一个研究团队研发的旨在帮助老年司机继续驾驶的助驾技术。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“The Intelligent Transport team at Newcastle University have turned an electric car into a mobile laboratory named ‘Drive LAB’ in order to understand the challenges faced by older drivers and to discover where the key stress points are.(纽卡斯尔大学的智能交通团队将一辆电动汽车变成了一个名为‘Drive LAB’的移动实验室，以了解老年司机面临的挑战，并发现关键的压力点在哪里)”可知，Drive LAB的目的是找出老年司机所面临的问题，故选C。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段的“For many older people, particularly those living alone or in the country, driving is important for preserving their independence, giving them the freedom to get out and about without having to rely on others.(对于许多老年人，特别是独居或住在乡下的老年人来说，驾驶对于保持他们的独立性很重要，使他们能够自由地外出走动，而不必依赖他人)”可知，开车对于老年司机很重要在于它能帮助老年人独立。故选B。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Led by Professor Phil Blythe, the Newcastle team are developing in-vehicle technologies for older drivers which they hope could help them to continue driving into later life.(在Phil Blythe教授的带领下，纽卡斯尔团队正在为老年司机开发车载技术，希望能帮助他们在晚年继续开车)”可知，研究人员希望能够为老年司机研发可帮助他们驾驶的技术。故选A。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文内容，结合第一段“The Intelligent Transport team at Newcastle University have turned an electric car into a mobile laboratory named ‘Drive LAB’ in order to understand the challenges faced by older drivers and to discover where the key stress points are.(纽卡斯尔大学的智能交通团队将一辆电动汽车变成了一个名为‘Drive LAB’的移动实验室，以了解老年司机面临的挑战，并发现关键的压力点在哪里)”可知，文章主要讲述了一个研究团队为帮助老年司机能继续开车而努力研发助驾技术，D项“让老年司机继续行驶在路上”最适合作为标题，故选D。 D At a few minutes past five, Dave noted that the blanket of darkness was lifting. He was just able to make out the heavier masses that eventually appeared as the familiar trees that lined the road at the base of the hill. The upper reaches of the sky showed lighter shades of gray. Dave got out of bed quietly and dressed quickly. He mixed a spoonful of instant chocolate into a glass of cold water, and his impatience forced him to finish the drink in gulps. As he walked down toward the lake, Dave paused to reach for the fishing pole and gear box on the bench where he had left them the night before. By the time where he reached the small boat, a thick white mist (雾气) had spread over the surface of the water. He stepped into the boat, sat down, and rowed out of the weed beds that lined the edge of the shore. The outer fringe (边缘) of the lake disappeared as the boat moved forward noiselessly All he could see was the enveloping whiteness. He could not tell where the boat and the surrounding air met the surface of the lake. Dave rowed steadily ahead, relying on a mental picture of the surroundings. Then the mist began to rise, slowly. It soon rested inches above the still surface of the lake. The heavy silence was now being broken by the fish breaking through the surface as they leaped out of the water for low-flying insects. The magic time had arrived. Dave raised his pole. Dawn was broken. He was excited with expectancy. 12. Dave got up early in the morning to . A. enjoy the scene of the lake B. seek adventure at the lake C. go fishing in the lake D. take a walk by the lake 13. According to the story, which of the following is TRUE? A.

Yet, I remember one particular day from my childhood so vividly as if it were yesterday. It was a sunlit morning in the spring of 1963, and I was a second - grader at St. Simeon’s Elementary School. Every morning, my mom would pack up a bagged lunch for me, usually a peanut butter and jelly sandwich with an apple for dessert. I loved those lunches; they were a simple pleasure, a little piece of home to carry with me throughout the school day. That particular morning, the sky was clear and blue. As I reached the corner of Pusheck Road, I carefully placed my lunch on the sidewalk in order to shift my school books to a more comfortable position in my arms.（These were pre - backpack times!） The familiar yellow bus rolled up. Distracted（分心） by the excitement of the school day ahead, I got on the bus without a second thought about my lunch bag left behind. The bus driver, a middle - aged man with a friendly face, greeted me with his usual nod. Then I settled - into my seat, my mind already wandering to the day’s activities. It was only when the bus had left the stop and was halfway to school that I began to feel discomfort in my stomach. Then I realized that I had left my lunch on the sidewalk. Panic set in. My eyes filled with tears as I thought of missing out on my peanut butter and jelly sandwich and the apple that my mother had carefully selected. As we pulled into the school parking lot, I could no longer hold back my tears. The bus driver, noticing my distress（悲伤）, pulled over slightly and asked gently, “What’s wrong?” I choked out the story between sobs（啜泣）, explaining how I had left my lunch behind and how I was facing a long, hungry day. Paragraph 1: He listened carefully and then said, “Don’t worry too much.” ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: At noon, our teacher, with a curious expression, approached me with a bag. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 He listened carefully and then said, Don’t worry too much.'' He paused for a moment and then added, I’ve got an extra sandwich and apple in my lunch box. You can have them.'' I was so surprised and grateful. Are you sure?'' I asked. He nodded and handed me his lunch. I eagerly accepted, feeling a mix of relief and appreciation for his kindness. As I ate, I couldn’t help but think how fortunate I was to have such a thoughtful bus driver. At noon, our teacher, with a curious expression, approached me with a bag. Is this yours?'' she asked, holding it up. I recognized it immediately as my lunch bag. Yes, it is!'' I exclaimed, taking it from her hands. Where did you find it?'' I asked, puzzled. She explained that a kind lady had brought it to the school office, saying she found it on the sidewalk near Pusheck Road. Thank you so much,'' I said, tears welling up in my eyes again, this time not from sadness, but from gratitude. I was overwhelmed with relief, knowing that I had not only been helped by the bus driver but also by a stranger who went out of her way to return my lunch. 【解析】 【导语】本文以午餐袋为线索展开，讲述了作者小时候在乘坐校车时，由于粗心大意将自己的午餐袋遗忘在了路边，校车司机知道后将自己的午餐分享给了作者，后来午餐袋被一位好心的女士捡到并送到了学校，作者对此非常感激的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“他仔细听了听，然后说：‘别太担心。’”可知，第一段可描写校车司机如何安慰作者，并拿出自己的午餐给作者吃。 ②由第二段首句内容“中午，我们的老师带着好奇的表情，拿着一个袋子向我走来。”可知，第二段可描写老师把作者的午餐袋交给作者，作者询问后得知是一位女士把它送到学校的。 2.续写线索：安慰——午餐——好奇——午餐袋——感谢 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①别担心：don’t worry/don’t be anxious ②归还：return/give back ③认出：recognize/identify ④（眼泪）涌出：well up/pour 情绪类 ①感激的：grateful/thankful ②困惑的：puzzled/confused 【点睛】[高分句型1] I eagerly accepted, feeling a mix of relief and appreciation for his kindness.（运用了现在分词feeling作伴随状语） [高分句型2] I was overwhelmed with relief, knowing that I had not only been helped by the bus driver but also by a stranger who went out of her way to return my lunch.（运用了分词knowing作状语、that引导的宾语从句以及who引导的限制性定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
