His design won a £50,000 top prize from the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) in its Cities for our Future competition. His house, known as Cubo, could be produced in a week, constructed in four hours and costs £60 per square meter. Its use of bamboo-which releases 35% more oxygen into the environment than trees-was praised by the judges. The ability of the houses to be constructed in any bamboo-producing area was one of the key attractions. “The world’s cities are growing all the time and there is a real need to make sure they are safe, clean and comfortable places to live in,” John Hughes, the competition’s head judge and then president at RICS, said. “As we look at our competitors, who are our next generation of leaders, I believe that real progress will be made in tackling the world’s biggest issues.” Forlales has already identified a suitable area of land to start building his Cubo houses. He plans to begin the work next year with experts from the RICS in an attempt to help relieve the huge pressure on housing in Manila, where a third of the 12 million population live in poor districts. He said, “I would like to thank RICS for the opportunity, and look forward to working with them to put this money to good use in Manila and then hopefully elsewhere around the world.” 4. What is the main factor in Forlales’ winning the prize? A. The design of his house. B. The shape of his house. C. The material of his house. D. The expense of his house. 5. Which word can best replace the underlined word “tackling” in Paragraph 3? A. Facing. B. Handling. C. Covering. D. Treating. 6. What can we infer about the Cubo house? A. It has already been built in Forlales’ hometown. B. It can be put together in, a week. C. It is created by Forlales and his parents. D. It is environmentally friendly and economical. 7. Which of the following can be a suitable title? A. The bamboo house winning a top prize. B. The way to solve housing shortage. C. A competition in house building. D. A man devoted to city development. 【答案】4. C 5. B 6. D 7. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。这篇文章讲述的是Earl Forlales从祖父母住在马尼拉郊外的竹屋中获得灵感，用竹子建造的房子Cubo获得了5万英镑最高奖。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Earl Forlales, a graduate in Materials Science and Engineering, took inspiration from the bamboo hut his grandparents lived in outside Manila and created a house made of bamboo that can be put together in four hours to solve the chronic (长期的) shortage of affordable accommodation in the Philippines.

As a popular sport at the Winter Olympics, ski jumping is one of the best examples to show the “superhuman” power of athletes. Ski jumpers soar into the air and appear to be almost flying in the sky. How do they achieve this? Physics can offer us an explanation of how they achieve this goal. It involves the use of the laws of aerodynamics (空气动力学) to fight against gravity and increase lift while reducing drag. To understand how ski jumping works, we need to consider three elements: gravity, lift and drag. Gravity is the force that pulls us towards an object, such as the Earth. Lift occurs when an object is moving through the air — as its surface comes into contact with air particles (微粒),the particles are pushed down and away from the object, allowing it to move up. At the same time, this interaction creates drag, or resistance, and slows down an object’s movement. While there is nothing that the skiers can do about gravity, they can twist their bodies into positions that allow them to achieve greater lift and avoid as much drag as possible. According to the Smithsonian Magazine, “to do this, athletes try their best to make their skis and body nearly parallel (平行的) to the ground and place their skis in a V-shape just outside the form of the body. This position increases the surface area that generates lift and puts them in the ideal angle that will also maximize lift.” Because of how the sport works, athletes’ equipment is strictly controlled according to weight and height in order to avoid any unfair advantages. This means suits must be tight in order to ensure athletes cannot use them as a way to gain more lift. For athletes, minor day-to-day water weight changes as little as 300 grams. It can mean that suits will not be tight enough according to their body mass indexes (体重指数). 8 What does the underlined word “It” refer to in the second paragraph? A. Athletic talent. B. Superhuman power. C. Physical science. D. Ski jumping. 9. What contributes to lift in ski jumping? A. The interaction between force and drag. B. The interaction between skiers and air particles. C. The interaction between air particles and gravity. D. The interaction between gravity and balance. 10. What rule is adopted to ensure fair play in ski jumping? A. Athletes are grouped according to their body mass indexes. B. Athletes must strictly control their weight. C. Equipment must match an athlete’s weight and height. D. Standardized equipment is used to avoid unfair advantages. 11. What’s the main focus of the text? A. The scientific principles behind ski jumping. B. Rules of the ski jumping competition. C. Excellent performances in ski jumping. D. The techniques used by ski jumpers. 【答案】8. D 9. B 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了滑雪跳跃运动背后的科学原理，包括运动员如何利用空气动力学原理来对抗重力、增加升力并减少阻力，以及为了确保比赛公平性而采取的装备控制措施。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“Ski jumpers soar into the air and appear to be almost flying in the sky. How do they achieve this? (滑雪运动员在空中翱翔，看起来几乎是在天空中飞翔。他们是如何做到的呢？)”以及后文“It involves the use of the laws of aerodynamics (空气动力学) to fight against gravity and increase lift while reducing drag. (It包括利用空气动力学原理来对抗重力、增加升力并减少阻力)”可知，滑雪跳跃运动员可以在空中翱翔，看起来几乎是在天空中飞翔，这是如何做到的呢？后文开始解释原因，即利用空气动力学原理来对抗重力、增加升力并减少阻力，可见it指的是上文提到的“滑雪跳跃”这项运动。故选D项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Lift occurs when an object is moving through the air — as its surface comes into contact with air particles (微粒), the particles are pushed down and away from the object, allowing it to move up. (当一个物体在空气中移动时，升力就会产生——当它的表面与空气微粒接触时，这些微粒会被向下推离物体，从而使物体能够向上移动。)”可知，滑雪跳跃中升力的产生是由于滑雪者和空气微粒之间的相互作用。故选B项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Because of how the sport works, athletes’ equipment is strictly controlled according to weight and height in order to avoid any unfair advantages. (由于这项运动的运作方式，运动员的装备是根据体重和身高严格控制的，以避免任何不公平的优势。)”可知，为了确保滑雪跳跃比赛的公平性，采用的规则是装备必须与运动员的体重和身高相匹配。故选C项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，本文主要介绍了滑雪跳跃运动背后的科学原理，包括运动员如何利用空气动力学原理来对抗重力、增加升力并减少阻力，以及为了确保比赛公平性而采取的装备控制措施。再结合第二段“Ski jumpers soar into the air and appear to be almost flying in the sky. How do they achieve this? Physics can offer us an explanation of how they achieve this goal. (滑雪运动员在空中翱翔，看起来几乎是在天空中飞翔。他们是如何做到的呢？物理学可以为我们解释他们是如何实现这一目标的。)”可知，文章的主要聚焦的是滑雪跳跃背后的科学原理。故选A项。 D It is easy for us to know the difference between our friends and our enemies. But can other animals do the same? Elephants can! They can use their sense of vision and smell to tell the difference between people who pose a threat and those who do not. In Kenya, researchers find that elephants react differently to clothing worn by men of the Maasai and Kamba ethnic groups. Young Maasai men spear (刺) animals and thus pose a threat to elephants; Kamba men are mainly farmers and are not a danger to elephants. In an experiment conducted by animal scientists, elephants were first presented with clean clothing or clothing that had been worn for five days by either a Maasai or a Kamba man. When the elephants noticed the smell of clothing worn by a Maasai man, they moved away from the smell faster and took longer to relax than when they noticed the smells of either clothing worn by Kamba men or clothing that had not been worn at all. Clothing color also plays a role. In the same study, when the elephants saw red clothing not worn before, they reacted angrily, as red is typically worn by Maasai men. Rather than running away as they did with the smell, the elephants acted aggressively toward the red clothing. The researchers believe that the elephants’ emotional reactions are due to their different senses of the smells and the sights. Smelling a potential danger means that a threat is nearby and the best thing to do is run away and hide. Seeing a potential threat without its smell means that risk is low. Therefore, instead of showing fear and running away, the elephants express their anger and become aggressive. 12. What character does the author want to express about elephants A. Clever. B. Friendly. C. Dangerous. D. Naughty. 13. Which of the following is the most dangerous sign for elephants? A. The color of Kamba men’s clothes. B. The smell of Kamba men’s clothes. C. The smell of Maasai men’s clothes. D. The red clothes not worn before. 14. What can be inferred about the elephants behavior from this passage? A. Elephants are more intelligent than other animals. B. Elephants learn from their experience. C. Elephants have sharper sense of smell than sight. D. Elephants tend to attack rather than escape when in danger. 15. In-which magazine will the passage be found most probably? A. Newsweek. B. Nature. C. Fashion. D. Business Weekly. 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. B 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍科学家通过实验发现了大象如何来判断敌人和朋友的。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“It is easy for us to know the difference between our friends and our enemies. But can other animals do the same? Elephants can!(我们很容易知道朋友和敌人之间的区别。但其他动物也能做到吗？大象可以！)”可知，大象也可以分辨出朋友和敌人，所以它们非常聪明。故选A。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“When the elephants noticed the smell of clothing worn by a Maasai man, they moved away from the smell faster and took longer to relax than when they noticed the smells of either clothing worn by Kamba men or clothing that had not been worn at all.(当大象闻到马赛人穿的衣服的气味时，它们会比嗅到马赛人穿的衣服或根本没有穿过的衣服的气味时更快地远离这种气味，花更长的时间来放松)”可知，对于大象来说，最危险的信号是马赛人衣服上的味道。故选C。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Young Maasai men spear (刺) animals and thus pose a threat to elephants; Kamba men arc mainly farmers and are not a danger to elephants.(年轻的马赛人用矛刺动物，从而对大象构成威胁；坎巴人主要是农民，对大象没有威胁。)”可推断，大象通过自己的经历来判断危险。故选B。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据全文可知，这篇文章通过科学家的实验介绍了大象如何来判断敌人和朋友，所以推断这篇文章最可能出现在《自然》科学杂志上。故选B。 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的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 A support network is critical to your well-being and high school success.

Chloe, dropped her child, . Warren, off at Catherine’s apartment at around 6:30 a. m. before she went on her way to work because Catherine was Warren’s godmother. And, just like every other Sunday morning, they all went back to sleep for a couple of hours. When everyone awoke, Catherine made a quick breakfast and then they hurried and got themselves out of the door for the park. It wasn’t until they approached the park and saw a girl they knew standing there passing out flowers that Catherine remembered this wasn’t like every other Sunday morning it was Mother’s Day. Before Catherine could stop him, Warren, always the curious child, went up to the girl and asked, “Emily, what are you doing?” Emily smiled at him and said brightly, “I’m giving a flower to every mother today because it’s Mother’s Day.” Warren’s eyes grew bright. “My mom had to work today. Can I have a flower to take home to give her?” “Of course.” Emily answered, and lowered the box she was holding so that Warren could pick out a flower for Chloe. Warren turned towards Catherine, proudly holding a pink carnation (康乃馨) in his hand. He smiled at her. His dark eyes danced with pride, love and excitement. Catherine smiled at him and signaled him to come with her, but instead, he turned back towards Linda, “Can I please have a flower for Aunt Catherine too?” At that moment, Catherine’s heart raced. It was the last thing Catherine had expected Warren to do. It was one of the sweetest and most sincere things she had ever heard him say. But neither of them was ready for what happened next. Paragraph 1: “Oh, no, Warren. She can’t have a flower. She isn’t a mom.” Emily replied. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: After they came back home, Warren went to the courtyard of the apartment building. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1:​ “Oh, no, Warren. She can’t have a flower. She isn’t a mom.” Emily replied. Warren’s face fell instantly, and his lip started to tremble. Catherine’s heart ached at the sight. She quickly knelt down and hugged him tightly, whispering, “It’s okay, honey. I know you love me, and that’s more precious than any flower.” But Warren pushed away gently, his eyes filled with determination. Without another word, he handed the flower for his mom to Catherine and ran off, leaving both women stunned.​ Paragraph 2:​ After they came back home, Warren went to the courtyard of the apartment building. Catherine watched him from the window, worried. He was searching around, picking up twigs and leaves. A while later, he came back with a big smile. He handed Catherine a “bouquet” made of twigs, leaves, and a few wildflowers he found. “Happy Mother’s Day,” he said, his eyes shining with pride again. Catherine’s eyes welled up with tears. She pulled him into a warm embrace, realizing that on this Mother’s Day, she had received the most special gift in the world. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了在母亲节这天，Warren 的妈妈因工作不能陪他，他在公园向 Emily 要花想送给妈妈，之后又想到同样关爱他的教母Catherine，却因Emily 认为 Catherine不是妈妈而不能给花的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容““哦，不，Warren。她不能有一朵花。她不是一个妈妈。”艾米丽说。”可知，第一段可描写Warren 听到拒绝后的反应，他对 Catherine 的情感不会因此消退，可能会通过其他方式表达对 Catherine 的心意 ②由第二段首句内容“他们回到家后，Warren来到公寓楼的院子里。”可知，第二段可描写Warren 在院子里会有行动，且这个行动与送给 Catherine 礼物相关，可能是自己动手制作特殊的礼物。 2.续写线索：Emily 拒绝给 Catherine 花 —Warren 失望且坚定 — 把给妈妈的花先给 Catherine 后跑开 — 回家后 Warren 在院子制作礼物 — 送给 Catherine 自制 “花束”—Catherine 感动3.词汇激活 行为类 行为类 ① 跌倒、下垂：fall /drop ② 拥抱：hug /embrace ③ 搜索：search /look for 情绪类 ①温柔地：gently/softly ② 决心：determination /resolution 【点睛】【高分句型 1】But Warren pushed away gently, his eyes filled with determination.（运用了独立主格结构） 【高分句型 2】She pulled him into a warm embrace, realizing that on this Mother’s Day, she had received the most special gift in the world.（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 $ 沈阳二中2024-2025学年度下学期期中考试 高一（2027届）英语试题 说明：1. 测试时间：120分钟总分：150分 2. 客观题涂在答题纸上，主观题在答题纸的相应位置上 第I卷（95分） 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，并标在试卷的相应位置。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 Earl Forlales, a graduate in Materials Science and Engineering, took inspiration from the bamboo hut his grandparents lived in outside Manila and created a house made of bamboo that can be put together in four hours to solve the chronic (长期的) shortage of affordable accommodation in the Philippines. His design won a £50,000 top prize from the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) in its Cities for our Future competition. His house, known as Cubo, could be produced in a week, constructed in four hours and costs £60 per square meter. Its use of bamboo-which releases 35% more oxygen into the environment than trees-was praised by the judges. The ability of the houses to be constructed in any bamboo-producing area was one of the key attractions. “The world’s cities are growing all the time and there is a real need to make sure they are safe, clean and comfortable places to live in,” John Hughes, the competition’s head judge and then president at RICS, said. “As we look at our competitors, who are our next generation of leaders, I believe that real progress will be made in tackling the world’s biggest issues.” Forlales has already identified a suitable area of land to start building his Cubo houses. He plans to begin the work next year with experts from the RICS in an attempt to help relieve the huge pressure on housing in Manila, where a third of the 12 million population live in poor districts. He said, “I would like to thank RICS for the opportunity, and look forward to working with them to put this money to good use in Manila and then hopefully elsewhere around the world.” 4. What is the main factor in Forlales’ winning the prize? A. The design of his house. B. The shape of his house. C. The material of his house. D. The expense of his house. 5. Which word can best replace the underlined word “tackling” in Paragraph 3? A. Facing. B. Handling. C. Covering. D. Treating. 6. What can we infer about the Cubo house? A. It has already been built in Forlales’ hometown. B. It can be put together in, a week. C. It is created by Forlales and his parents. D. It is environmentally friendly and economical. 7. Which of the following can be a suitable title? A. The bamboo house winning a top prize. B. The way to solve housing shortage. C. A competition in house building. D. A man devoted to city development. C In the Beijing Winter Olympics, we were treated to incredible displays of athletic talents as competitors took to the snow and ice. As a popular sport at the Winter Olympics, ski jumping is one of the best examples to show the “superhuman” power of athletes. Ski jumpers soar into the air and appear to be almost flying in the sky. How do they achieve this? Physics can offer us an explanation of how they achieve this goal. It involves the use of the laws of aerodynamics (空气动力学) to fight against gravity and increase lift while reducing drag. To understand how ski jumping works, we need to consider three elements: gravity, lift and drag. Gravity is the force that pulls us towards an object, such as the Earth. Lift occurs when an object is moving through the air — as its surface comes into contact with air particles (微粒),the particles are pushed down and away from the object, allowing it to move up. At the same time, this interaction creates drag, or resistance, and slows down an object’s movement. While there is nothing that the skiers can do about gravity, they can twist their bodies into positions that allow them to achieve greater lift and avoid as much drag as possible. According to the Smithsonian Magazine, “to do this, athletes try their best to make their skis and body nearly parallel (平行的) to the ground and place their skis in a V-shape just outside the form of the body. This position increases the surface area that generates lift and puts them in the ideal angle that will also maximize lift.” Because of how the sport works, athletes’ equipment is strictly controlled according to weight and height in order to avoid any unfair advantages. This means suits must be tight in order to ensure athletes cannot use them as a way to gain more lift. For athletes, minor day-to-day water weight changes as little as 300 grams. It can mean that suits will not be tight enough according to their body mass indexes (体重指数). 8. What does the underlined word “It” refer to in the second paragraph? A. Athletic talent. B. Superhuman power. C. Physical science. D. Ski jumping. 9. What contributes to lift in ski jumping? A. The interaction between force and drag. B. The interaction between skiers and air particles. C. The interaction between air particles and gravity. D. The interaction between gravity and balance. 10. What rule is adopted to ensure fair play in ski jumping? A. Athletes are grouped according to their body mass indexes. B. Athletes must strictly control their weight. C. Equipment must match an athlete’s weight and height. D. Standardized equipment is used to avoid unfair advantages. 11. What’s the main focus of the text? A. The scientific principles behind ski jumping. B. Rules of the ski jumping competition. C. Excellent performances in ski jumping. D. The techniques used by ski jumpers. D It is easy for us to know the difference between our friends and our enemies. But can other animals do the same? Elephants can! They can use their sense of vision and smell to tell the difference between people who pose a threat and those who do not. In Kenya, researchers find that elephants react differently to clothing worn by men of the Maasai and Kamba ethnic groups. Young Maasai men spear (刺) animals and thus pose a threat to elephants; Kamba men are mainly farmers and are not a danger to elephants. In an experiment conducted by animal scientists, elephants were first presented with clean clothing or clothing that had been worn for five days by either a Maasai or a Kamba man. When the elephants noticed the smell of clothing worn by a Maasai man, they moved away from the smell faster and took longer to relax than when they noticed the smells of either clothing worn by Kamba men or clothing that had not been worn at all. Clothing color also plays a role. In the same study, when the elephants saw red clothing not worn before, they reacted angrily, as red is typically worn by Maasai men. Rather than running away as they did with the smell, the elephants acted aggressively toward the red clothing. The researchers believe that the elephants’ emotional reactions are due to their different senses of the smells and the sights. Smelling a potential danger means that a threat is nearby and the best thing to do is run away and hide. Seeing a potential threat without its smell means that risk is low. Therefore, instead of showing fear and running away, the elephants express their anger and become aggressive. 12. What character does the author want to express about elephants A. Clever. B.

And, just like every other Sunday morning, they all went back to sleep for a couple of hours. When everyone awoke, Catherine made a quick breakfast and then they hurried and got themselves out of the door for the park. It wasn’t until they approached the park and saw a girl they knew standing there passing out flowers that Catherine remembered this wasn’t like every other Sunday morning it was Mother’s Day. Before Catherine could stop him, Warren, always the curious child, went up to the girl and asked, “Emily, what are you doing?” Emily smiled at him and said brightly, “I’m giving a flower to every mother today because it’s Mother’s Day.” Warren’s eyes grew bright “My mom had to work today. Can I have a flower to take home to give her?” “Of course.” Emily answered, and lowered the box she was holding so that Warren could pick out a flower for Chloe. Warren turned towards Catherine, proudly holding a pink carnation (康乃馨) in his hand. He smiled at her. His dark eyes danced with pride, love and excitement. Catherine smiled at him and signaled him to come with her, but instead, he turned back towards Linda, “Can I please have a flower for Aunt Catherine too?” At that moment, Catherine’s heart raced. It was the last thing Catherine had expected Warren to do. It was one of the sweetest and most sincere things she had ever heard him say. But neither of them was ready for what happened next. Paragraph 1: “Oh, no, Warren. She can’t have a flower. She isn’t a mom.” Emily replied. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: After they came back home, Warren went to the courtyard of the apartment building. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
