B Twenty-three years ago,California firefighter Jeff Ohs rescued a then-two-year-old Xavier Huber from a blazing house fire and brought him back to life.Today,in an amazing full-circle moment,he got the chance to meet the son of the man he saved over two decades ago. As if that wasn't special enough,what makes this even more incredibly coincident is that Xavier's son is the same age he was when he was rescued. Posting side-by-side photos of him as a lifeless toddler in Ohs'arms alongside a present-day image,Xavier wrote:"I ended up dying that day &this firefighter,Jeff Ohs,saved me from that building &brought me back to life.Now 23 years later he is holding my 2-year-old son.I wouldn't be here without him. Jeff discovered Xavier on a bedroom floor during a search and rescue sweep of the smoke and 【高二英语试卷·第3页（共8页）】 flame-filled house.After rushing him to safety,the firefighter performed life-saving CPR,giving him a second chance at life.Xavier spent nearly a month in hospital before making a full recovery. Over the years he has never forgotten what the firefighter did for him.And while he can't repay Jeff for saving his life,he did vow to make the most of the life he gave him.And he seems to be living up to his promise.Now,23 years later,the little boy is a grown man who is thriving and has a family of his own. As for Jeff,it's a day forever burned into his memory too.As it turns out,Xavier wasn't the only thing to come out of that fire.Apparently,a lifetime friendship was formed out of the ashes.

C The centuries-old martial art of tai chi is shown to have many health benefits-including improving balance,reducing anxiety and preventing cardiovascular()disease.But these aren't the only benefits this exercise may have.A recently published study has demonstrated for the first time that tai chi can reduce the severity of Parkinson's symptoms(帕金森症)in the long-term. To conduct their study,the researchers recruited (patients who had sporadic Parkinson's disease.This is a type of Parkinson's disease that's not inherited()from a family member.They focused on sporadic Parkinson's disease so that they could examine the benefits of tai chi only on Parkinson's symptoms.The researchers excluded people with other health conditions which may have prevented them from taking part in tai chi classes. Participants were then divided into two groups.One is a control group of 187 people who did not exercise,and the other is a group of 143 people who completed tai chi classes.Participants had an average age of 66 years.There were an equal number of male and female participants. Participants in the tai chi group were given five classes over the duration of the study which started in 2016 and ended in 2018.They were also instructed to train twice a week for one hour. All participants were then followed up over a three-year period between 2019 and 2021 to track their symptoms. The participants in the tai chi group had better motor function at the end of the study.The control group,on the other hand,experienced a faster decline of their motor functions.The positive effects of tai chi were also apparent in non-motor symptoms,with the tai chi group 【高二英语试卷·第4页（共8页）】 reporting better quality of life and wellbeing,sleep,as well as memory and thinking benefits It's important to note that this was an observational study and does not establish cause and effect.Additionally,the number of participants was relatively small,and they were not randomly assigned to their groups.The researchers recommend that larger follow-up studies in the future use randomisation(随机化)to prevent biast(偏见). 28.What does the underlined word "excluded"(Para.2)most probably mean?

C.To be actively involved in the study. D.To adopt a cautious attitude to the result. 31.What could be the best title for the passage? A.Tai Chi Can Reduce Severity of Patients B.Tai Chi Has Long-Term Benefits to Parkinsons C.Tai Chi Has Gained Popularity in the World D.Practising Tai Chi Can Prevent Parkinsons D The Global Coral Reef Monitoring Network found that over 19%of the world's coral reefs are dead due to factors such as the rise of ocean temperature causing an epidemic of coral bleaching(变白)across the world. Underwater robots may be a key in helping us understand coral reef systems.Underwater robots were recently developed by researchers at the University of California.This new tool can offer a new way to study ocean currents as well as the creatures that are in the ocean.Right now the goal of these underwater robots is to use them to help answer questions about the most abundant form of life in the ocean:plankton(浮游生物). The researchers have designed and built these underwater explorers to study small scale environmental processes that are taking place in the ocean.These robots include probes() that are equipped with temperature and other sensors to measure ocean conditions by swimming up and down or by maintaining a constant depth.These small robots could potentially be used in the hundreds to thousands to capture a multi-dimensional view of the interactions between the physical ocean and marine life. During a study using these robots,scientists wanted to test theories behind how plankton form dense patchest(密集区域)under the ocean surface,which then later leads them to rise to the surface as red tides.These robots were the perfect way to mimic()the underwater swimming behavior of plankton and examine the organisms'movements with the ocean currents. This is the first time that a mechanism like this has ever been tested underwater.The biggest advancement is that these small robots are made inexpensively and are able to be tracked continuously underwater.What this means is that these robots could potentially be used as a small army and be deployed in a swarm().This swarm-sensing approach opens up a new world of ocean exploration.These small,low cost robots with cameras would allow for the photographic mapping of things such as corals.This technique could be huge in identifying the problem as well as seeing the effects of coral bleaching in almost real time. 32.What is the main cause of coral reef damage according to the article? A.Red tides. B.Marine life. C.Ocean currents. D.Ocean warming. 33.What is the main advantage of the underwater robots mentioned in the article? 【高二英语试卷·第5页（共8页）】 A.They are the first ever mechanism for studying the ocean. B.They are equipped with cameras for photographic mapping. C.They are capable of swimming up and down in the ocean. D.They are cost-effective and capable of constant monitoring. 34.How do the underwater robots help scientists study plankton behavior? A.By imitating the swimming behavior of plankton. B.By capturing a multi-dimensional view of marine life. C.By measuring ocean conditions with temperature sensors. D.By tracking dense patches of plankton under the ocean surface. 35.What is the author's attitude towards the underwater robots? A.Skeptical. B.Objective. C.Optimistic. D.Negative. 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人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 If you're looking for ways to improve your spoken communication in English,you're not alone.Here are some tips to improve your conversation skills in English. Speaking a language is a skill.like driving a car,playing a musical instrument or learning to swim.To be a good driver,you need to practise driving.36 No matter how much you study grammar and vocabulary,if you don't practise spoken communication,it's very difficult to get good at it.So maybe you talk to yourself in English as you go about your day.Or maybe you look for opportunities to chat in English with people you meet.37 OK,so you want to practise,but who can you speak English with?Do you know anybody in your network who speaks English?Maybe you have friends or colleagues at work that you can speak English with.If not,look for 'meetups',social events for people interested in practising languages.38 You find someone who is learning your language,and in exchange they speak to you in English.A language exchange app can also be a great way to find a conversation partner. 39 You get to know new people.You use your English for real communication.You adapt to each other's level and direct your own learning.All this means you learn the skills and language you need fast.And you don't forget them. Another thing is pronunciation,or just feeling the words in your mouth.Speaking a foreign language is like exercising for your mouth!You're also practising fluency.40 By training yourself to notice and correct mistakes,you'll improve your accuracy too. A.Practising English socially is fun! B.Or what about a language exchange? C.It's the same with speaking English. D.Being a good listener is a really important part of a good conversation. E.And that means more English speaking practice,more opportunities to improve your speaking. F.Next time you have to talk about that same topic,the ideas and words will flow more easily.

Raquel,the school bus driver for the Dallas Independent School District,was responsible for the Seagoville route on September 29th.Though her focus was always on the safety and well-being of her young passengers,Raquel knew that her responsibilities extended far beyond just driving the bus.The genuine connection she had built with these children meant that their safety was of the utmost importance to her. As she embarked on her daily journey,a sense of excitement filled the air.The school bus buzzed with the vibrant energy of the students,each one eager to greet the day with their unique personalities. Amidst the lively chatter and laughter,Raquel's keen eye quickly caught onto a slight shifting of behavior just a few seats behind her.The once loud voices seemed to hush,and a sense of unease began to fill the atmosphere.Raquel's instincts,sharpened by years of experience, kicked into high gear as she sensed that something was wrong. As it turned out,young Preston had accidentally placed a quarter in his mouth,unknowingly creating a dangerous choking situation.Initially,she believed he was feeling unwell and about to vomit,so she opened the bus door,instructing him to lean and throw out. However,as the situation unfolded,Raquel realized that Preston was unable to breathe normally,increasing the urgency of the moment.Being a professional driver trained in first aid and CPR,she immediately sprang into action,with every move captured by the bus's surveillance( 控)system, 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。 Raquel swiftly rose from her seat.

mountain，关系词在限制性 定语从句在作地点状语，所以填 where。 64．ceremonies 考查名词复数。ceremony是可数名词，前面没有单数修饰 语，所以用复数形式。 65．and 考查连词。the first和 foremost属于并列关系，所以填 and。 书面表达 第一节 Hi Jenny， Our school is organizing a poetry recitation contest in the near future， and I would love to invite you to participate. The contest will take place at 2 p．m.on May 4th in the school hall.I think it would be a fantastic opportunity for you to showcase your talent and share a piece of your culture with us. Please make sure to choose a poem that reflects your unique perspective and practice it well.Also，remember to pay attention to your pronunciation and intonation during the recitation. Looking forward to seeing you on the stage! Best regards， Li Hua 第二节 Paragraph 1: Raquel swiftly rose from her seat.She got off the bus and lifted Preston，quickly making her way down the stairs.Along the path to the sidewalk， she promptly performed the Heimlich maneuver， all the while reassuring him with words of encouragement: “Hold on， baby， I've got you.” Raquel's physical training and composure allowed her to demonstrate exceptional skills and confidence in a time of crisis.Recognizing the gravity of the situation，Raquel also sought the help of a nearby parent to call 911 for emergency assistance. Paragraph 2: Raquel went on giving Preston first aid.After a few tense moments，her skilled application of the Heimlich maneuver proved effective， removing the quarter from Preston's airway.As the coin flew out， relief washed over the young boy's face， replacing the fear he had felt just moments ago.Breathless but grateful， Preston managed to express his heartfelt appreciation to Raquel，vowing to learn from this experience and avoid any potential dangers in the future. 听力原文 Text 1 W：Wow，did you see the bicycle that boy just rode on?

A man's mind is rather like a camera，but it takes photos not only of what we see but also of what we feel，hear，smell and taste.When we take a real photo with a camera， there is much to do before the photo is finished and ready to show to our friends.In the same way，there is much work to be done before we can keep a picture forever in our mind. Memory is the diary that we all carry about with us. 英语试题第一部分听力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。第一节听下面5段对话，每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的ABC3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。Text one, dad, i'd like to treat my friend sophie to a big meal since SHE did me a great favor, but I don't know where the best restaurant is.
