If one falls, the other is there to catch him. They are Wellman whose legs were permanently (永久地) injured nine years ago in a rock-climbing accident, and Corbett, an experienced rock climber. Together, they climbed up Half Dome, the famous 2,000-foot rock in the Yosemite National Park, through one of the most difficult routes (路线). During the climb, Corbett took the lead, hit in the metal spikes (尖状物) that guided the ropes and climbed up. Then, after Wellman pulled himself up the rope, Corbett went down to remove the spikes and climbed up again. This process was repeated time and again, inch by inch, for 13days. Wellman’s job was not easy, either. He got himself up the rope through his upper body strength alone. In all, Wellman figured that he had done 5,000 pull-ups up the rope on the climb. However, when the two men first met, they never talked about climbing. “He knew that was how I got injured,” Wellman said. Until one day Wellman decided that he wanted to climb again and they started training. Their climb of Hall Dome was not all smooth. At one point, pieces of rock gave way, and Corbet dropped down quickly. Wellman locked their rope in place, stopping the fall at 20 feet. His quick action probably saved his friend’s life. “Your partner can save your life. You can save your partner’s life,” Wellman said as the pair received congratulations from friends. “There are real close ties.” 4. Why did the two men never talk about climbing when they first met? A. Corbett was poorly trained. B. Corbett didn’t want to hurt Wellman. C. Wellman had lost interest in climbing. D. Wellman was going in for another sport. 5. What do we know about Wellman? A. He climbed Half Dome by himself. B. He was disabled when climbing rocks. C. He was saved by Corbett during the climb. D. He climbed through his lower body strength with Corbett. 6. Which of the following was a challenge for Corbett in climbing Half Dome? A. To lock the rope in place. B. To do 5,000 pull-ups up the rope. C To climb up to remove the spikes. D. To climb it again after falling down. 7. The main idea of the passage is that ______. A. friendship is precious in life B. two heads are better than one C. the disabled should never give up D. a man can be destroyed but cannot be defeated 【答案】4. B 5. B 6. D 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了两位可以性命相托的朋友一起攀爬著名的半圆顶的故事。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段““He knew that was how I got injured,” Wellman said.(Wellman说道：“他知道我是如何受伤的。”)”可知，他们没有谈论攀岩是因为Corbett知道Wellman是如何受伤的，不想再伤害Wellman。故选B。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“They are Wellman, whose legs were permanently (永久地) injured nine years ago in a rock-climbing accident, and Corbett, an experienced rock climber.(他们分别是Wellman和Corbett，Wellman的腿在九年前的一次攀岩事故中永久地受伤了，而Corbett是一个专业的攀岩者)”可知，Wellman在攀岩时，腿永久性地受伤了，因此变成残疾了。故选B。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“During the climb, Corbett took the lead, hit in the metal spikes (尖状物) that guided the ropes and climbed up. Then, after Wellman pulled himself up the rope, Corbett went down to remove the spikes and climbed up again.(在攀爬过程中，Corbett领先，插入引导绳索的金属钉，爬了上去。然后，在Wellman把自己拉上绳子后，Corbett又下去取钉子，然后再爬上去)”可知，在他们一起攀爬半圆顶时，Corbett需要爬上去后又下去取钉子，然后再爬上去，因此他需要下去后再爬一次。故选D。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段““They are the sort of friends who are so close that they trust each other with their lives. If one falls, the other is there to catch him.(他们是如此亲密的朋友，以至于他们彼此相信。如果一个人摔倒了，另一个会接住他)”可知，文章主要通过两位可以性命相托的朋友一起攀爬著名的半圆顶的故事的讲述，强调了友谊的珍贵。故选A。 C It looks like it could be the child of Pixar movie characters, Wall-E and Eve, but the tiny robot developed by Anki is real enough to hold in your hand. Cozmo is a tiny robot equipped with a powerful brain and an emotion engine, allowing it to get close to humans. The robot, which is worth $180, reacts to your emotions and remembers the faces it’s seen before, communicating through facial expressions and its own unique language. The hand-sized robot is made up of more than 300 parts, and the creators describe him as lovable and a bit naughty. Although he is small, Cozmo is very intelligent. Cozmo checks his environment all the time, and when he sees a face he knows, his eyes will light up in recognition. When put on his charging dock (充电座) , Cozmo goes to sleep, even snoring (打呼噜) as he rests. The robot engages with humans to play games and get to know you over time, and has a “dynamic soundtrack (动态音效) ” that changes depending on his mood or the current activity. With Cozmo’s unique abilities, the researchers aim to bring the magic of robotic characters to life. “We’ve had this promise in science fiction about all the robots that could exist. But in reality, what we have are robots that have been used for industrial, space and research applications,” said Boris Sofman, CEO of Anki. “But there have been very few applications where a robot really feels like a character that connects with humans around them.” The team combines PhD persons who are expert in the field of robotics with game developers and even a lead designer of Batman’s car to create a real-life robotic character that can form connections with humans. He may be playful, but Cozmo’s emotions aren’t limited only to expressions of happiness. If you treat him badly, the tiny robot just might be angry. 8. What can we learn from the first paragraph? A. Eve is a role in a film. B. Wall-E was designed by Anki. C. Wall-E can be held in one hand. D. Anki is a member of the Pixar company. 9. How will Cozmo’s react when he sees a familiar person? A. He will hold out his hands. B. He will change his voice. C. He will turn rather joyful. D. He will appear a little shy. 10. Why is Cozmo unique based on paragraph 5? A. He can be used for scientific research in space. B. He can develop relations with humans. C. He usually acts in science fiction films. D. He often helps people do housework. 11. What do we know about Cozmo according to the text? A. He tends to check his environment when charged. B. He doesn’t communicate with unknown people. C. He never gets angry even if treated badly. D. He can have different kinds of feelings. 【答案】8. A 9. C 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一款新型机器人，他能够像一个与他们周围的人互动并产生纽带关系。且他能够富有情感并认出他熟悉的人。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“It looks like it could be the child of Pixar movie characters, Wall-E and Eve, but the tiny robot developed by Anki is real enough to hold in your hand.(它看起来像是能成为皮克斯电影角色Wall-E和Eve的孩子，但是Anki开发的微型机器人足够真实，可以握在你的手上。)”可知，Eve是皮克斯电影里的角色，故选A。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Cozmo checks his environment all the time, and when he sees a face he knows, his eyes will light up in recognition.( Cozmo一直在检查它的环境，当它一看到一张熟悉的脸时，它的眼睛会亮起来。)”可知，当Cozmo看到熟悉的人时，它的眼睛会亮起来，表现得非常高兴。故选C。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“With Cozmo’s unique abilities, the researchers aim to bring the magic of robotic characters to life. “We’ve had this promise in science fiction about all the robots that could exist. But in reality, what we have are robots that have been used for industrial, space and research applications,” said Boris Sofman, CEO of Anki. “But there have been very few applications where a robot really feels like a character that connects with humans around them.”(凭借Cozmo的独特能力，研究人员的目标是将机器人角色的魔力带入生活。Anki的首席执行官Boris Sofman说道：“我们在科幻小说中对所有可能存在的机器人都有这样的承诺。但实际上，我们拥有的是用于工业、太空和研究应用的机器人。但很少有应用程序让机器人真正感觉像是一个与周围人类联系的角色。”)”可知，Cozmo的独特之处就在于它能与周围人类产生联系，故选B。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“He may be playful, but Cozmo’s emotions aren’t limited only to expressions of happiness. If you treat him badly, the tiny robot just might be angry.(他可能很顽皮，但Cozmo的情绪不仅仅局限于表达幸福。如果你对他不好，这个小机器人可能会生气。)”可知，Cozmo的情绪不仅仅是幸福，还会生气，因此他有着不同的情绪，故选D。 D Shortly after a 6.8-magnitude earthquake that struck Dingri county in Southwest China’s Xizang autonomous region on Jan 7, Air China, the nation’s flag carrier, took action to supply necessary airlift assistance, ensuring that key personnel and supplies quickly reached the most heavily affected areas.

My dad was a cleaner in my school. When I was 12, I decided to study hard to have a life different from his. One day when Dad asked me to play basketball with him, I just replied, “I’m busy. I want to work hard so that I can become a rich man. I don’t want to be a cleaner like you, Dad!” He was shocked, but I didn’t care and continued studying hard. Finally, I graduated from high school with honors, and decided it was time to break free from my dad and follow my dreams. “Dad, I got a scholarship (奖学金) to a law school in California,” I told him. “I’ll leave in three days.” My dad was surprised but proud of me. As I left for the airport three days later, he said, “Son, wherever you go, welcome back home.” I ignored his words and flew to California. After I graduated, I found a great job there. Later, I became a manager and earned much money. I no longer remembered my father was a cleaner. I had forgotten my dad, who was still cleaning my school. I seldom answered his calls, sent him a message or wrote back to him. I was busy; I still had a lot more to achieve. With time, the more success I tasted, somehow, the lonelier I became. I felt especially lonely on my 31st birthday. I kept checking my phone, hoping someone wished me a happy birthday. But there wasn’t a single call or message. Later that evening when I returned home from my office, something in my mailbox drew my attention. “A letter?” I whispered and saw it was from my father. He never forgot to mail me a letter for each of my birthdays. However, I never took the trouble to read it. “How did I ignore him?” I thought. I brought the letter home and took out his earlier letters. And I opened one. It read, “Wherever you are, I love you forever. I wish you a happy life.” 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。 “What did my father express to me in the other letters?” I wondered. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Soon the airplane got to the city my father lived in. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】“What did my father express to me in the other letters?” I wondered. I picked up another letter and read it, “Son, I’m really proud of you every day, every minute, and every second.” After I read all the letters, tears rushed out of my eyes. I was touched by my dad’s deep love for me and felt so regretful for not valuing it! Later, my dad sent me a message, saying happy birthday to me. A few days later, I made a decision to head for my hometown. I packed my things and went to the airport to meet my dad after so many years. “Will he be happy to see me? How will I face him?” I asked myself. Soon the airplane got to the city my father lived in. I took a taxi and arrived at my dad’s house and saw him sitting alone in the yard. He looked up and rose in surprise and with delight. He hugged me and cried before I could even greet him. “I’ve been waiting for your coming every single day, son!” he wept on my shoulder. I quit the job in California and lived with my dad. I realized money isn’t everything. It cannot buy things that are as precious as love and family. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者的老父亲在作者中学当清洁工，作者为了以后能过上和父亲不一样的生活而刻苦学习。作者在读大学后远离了父亲，并且在大学毕业后找到了一份好工作，实现了过上富裕生活的梦想。但这些年他异常孤独。在他31岁生日当天，他收到了父亲寄来的信件。在读了父亲给自己寄的所有的来信，作者被父亲的爱所感动，选择回到了家乡，陪伴父亲。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“‘我父亲在其他的信里对我说了些什么？’我想知道。”可知，第一段可描写作者又拿起下一封信读了起来，父亲在信里表达了作者的爱，作者十分感动，决定回去看望父亲。 ②由第二段首句内容“很快，飞机就到达了父亲居住的城市。”可知，本段可描写作者最终回到了父亲的家，见到父亲后，作者和父亲的反应以及作者的感悟。 2.段落续写：疑惑→读信→感动→决定回家看望父亲→到达→见面后的情景→感悟。 3.词类激活： 行为类： 涌出：rush out of/gush out/pour out 哭泣：weep/sob/cry 拥抱：hug/embrace 情绪类： 开心的：happy/delighted/glad 惊讶：surprise/amazement 感动的：touched/moved 【点睛】【高分句型1】Later, my dad sent me a message, saying happy birthday to me.(运用了现在分词作状语) 【高分句型2】It cannot buy things that are as precious as love and family.(运用了that引导定语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 包头市第一中学2024~2025学年第二学期高一期中考试 英语试题 总分：150分 考试时间：120分钟 考生注意： 1.答题前，考生务必用直径0.5毫米黑色墨水签字笔将密封线内项目填写清楚。 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：外研版必修Book 1 Unit 1~ Book 2 Unit 5. 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。 例: How much is the shirt?

B They are the sort of friends who are so close that they trust each other with their lives. If one falls, the other is there to catch him. They are Wellman, whose legs were permanently (永久地) injured nine years ago in a rock-climbing accident, and Corbett, an experienced rock climber. Together, they climbed up Half Dome, the famous 2,000-foot rock in the Yosemite National Park, through one of the most difficult routes (路线). During the climb, Corbett took the lead, hit in the metal spikes (尖状物) that guided the ropes and climbed up. Then, after Wellman pulled himself up the rope, Corbett went down to remove the spikes and climbed up again. This process was repeated time and again, inch by inch, for 13days. Wellman’s job was not easy, either. He got himself up the rope through his upper body strength alone. In all, Wellman figured that he had done 5,000 pull-ups up the rope on the climb. However, when the two men first met, they never talked about climbing. “He knew that was how I got injured,” Wellman said. Until one day Wellman decided that he wanted to climb again and they started training. Their climb of Hall Dome was not all smooth. At one point, pieces of rock gave way, and Corbet dropped down quickly. Wellman locked their rope in place, stopping the fall at 20 feet. His quick action probably saved his friend’s life. “Your partner can save your life. You can save your partner’s life,” Wellman said as the pair received congratulations from friends. “There are real close ties.” 4. Why did the two men never talk about climbing when they first met? A. Corbett was poorly trained. B. Corbett didn’t want to hurt Wellman. C. Wellman had lost interest in climbing. D. Wellman was going in for another sport. 5. What do we know about Wellman? A. He climbed Half Dome by himself. B He was disabled when climbing rocks. C. He was saved by Corbett during the climb. D. He climbed through his lower body strength with Corbett. 6. Which of the following was a challenge for Corbett in climbing Half Dome? A. To lock the rope in place. B. To do 5,000 pull-ups up the rope. C. To climb up to remove the spikes. D. To climb it again after falling down. 7. The main idea of the passage is that ______. A. friendship is precious in life B. two heads are better than one C. the disabled should never give up D. a man can be destroyed but cannot be defeated C It looks like it could be the child of Pixar movie characters, Wall-E and Eve, but the tiny robot developed by Anki is real enough to hold in your hand. Cozmo is a tiny robot equipped with a powerful brain and an emotion engine, allowing it to get close to humans. The robot, which is worth $180, reacts to your emotions and remembers the faces it’s seen before, communicating through facial expressions and its own unique language. The hand-sized robot is made up of more than 300 parts, and the creators describe him as lovable and a bit naughty. Although he is small, Cozmo is very intelligent. Cozmo checks his environment all the time, and when he sees a face he knows, his eyes will light up in recognition. When put on his charging dock (充电座) , Cozmo goes to sleep, even snoring (打呼噜) as he rests. The robot engages with humans to play games and get to know you over time, and has a “dynamic soundtrack (动态音效) ” that changes depending on his mood or the current activity. With Cozmo’s unique abilities, the researchers aim to bring the magic of robotic characters to life. “We’ve had this promise in science fiction about all the robots that could exist. But in reality, what we have are robots that have been used for industrial, space and research applications,” said Boris Sofman, CEO of Anki. “But there have been very few applications where a robot really feels like a character that connects with humans around them.” The team combines PhD persons who are expert in the field of robotics with game developers and even a lead designer of Batman’s car to create a real-life robotic character that can form connections with humans. He may be playful, but Cozmo’s emotions aren’t limited only to expressions of happiness. If you treat him badly, the tiny robot just might be angry. 8. What can we learn from the first paragraph? A. Eve is a role in a film. B. Wall-E was designed by Anki. C. Wall-E can be held in one hand. D. Anki is a member of the Pixar company. 9. How will Cozmo’s react when he sees a familiar person? A. He will hold out his hands. B. He will change his voice. C. He will turn rather joyful. D. He will appear a little shy. 10. Why is Cozmo unique based on paragraph 5? A. He can be used for scientific research in space. B. He can develop relations with humans. C. He usually acts in science fiction films. D. He often helps people do housework. 11. What do we know about Cozmo according to the text? A. He tends to check his environment when charged. B. He doesn’t communicate with unknown people. C. He never gets angry even if treated badly. D. He can have different kinds of feelings.

My dad was a cleaner in my school. When I was 12, I decided to study hard to have a life different from his. One day when Dad asked me to play basketball with him, I just replied, “I’m busy. I want to work hard so that I can become a rich man. I don’t want to be a cleaner like you, Dad!” He was shocked, but I didn’t care and continued studying hard. Finally, I graduated from high school with honors, and decided it was time to break free from my dad and follow my dreams. “Dad, I got a scholarship (奖学金) to a law school in California,” I told him. “I’ll leave in three days.” My dad was surprised but proud of me. As I left for the airport three days later, he said, “Son, wherever you go, welcome back home.” I ignored his words and flew to California. After I graduated, I found a great job there. Later, I became a manager and earned much money. I no longer remembered my father was a cleaner. I had forgotten my dad, who was still cleaning my school. I seldom answered his calls, sent him a message or wrote back to him. I was busy; I still had a lot more to achieve. With time, the more success I tasted, somehow, the lonelier I became. I felt especially lonely on my 31st birthday. I kept checking my phone, hoping someone wished me a happy birthday. But there wasn’t a single call or message. Later that evening when I returned home from my office, something in my mailbox drew my attention. “A letter?” I whispered and saw it was from my father. He never forgot to mail me a letter for each of my birthdays. However, I never took the trouble to read it. “How did I ignore him?” I thought. I brought the letter home and took out his earlier letters. And I opened one. It read, “Wherever you are, I love you forever. I wish you a happy life.” 注意：1.续写词数应150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 “What did my father express to me in the other letters?” I wondered. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Soon the airplane got to the city my father lived in. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
