I think of the one activity that quiets my mind: clamming (挖蛤) on Cape Cod. Before I had kids, it was a much-needed active outing after days of vacation-level heavy diet. But when I went with kids, the experience took a turn from rest to devotion (奉献). Cape Cod became part of the world I was trying to build for my children. The act of clamming became an unexpected escape, a moment when I wasn’t thinking about 20 different things, when I wasn’t really thinking at all. This year, for the first time, my children joined me. I kept yelping when my children almost hurt my feet with the digging tool. But there was joy in having something to teach them and connect them not only to a generational tradition but also to the history of the land. And when they raised their basket, and it wasn’t a rock for the hundredth time, but rather a shining clam, it was a richer moment than if they had struck gold. Seeing a child holding up a clam with an expression of success on his face does more for the heart than any meditation (冥想) ever could. I hope that one day my children will view clamming as relaxation like I do. They are not there yet. At this point it is more an adventure than a getaway. At the end of our clamming morning, my 6-year-old daughter refused to leave, insisting she needed one more clam. When she finally caught one more clam, she laughed, pride written all over her face. Perhaps what she really needed was to have a tiny bit of control over this wild world, one in which she has little say. At that moment, she was victorious, if not in calm, then in clam. 4. Why did the author go clamming before becoming a mother? A. To find pleasure in hunting for food. B. To enjoy relaxation after overeating. C. To spend quality time with her family. D. To escape the responsibility as an adult. 5. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. The change of a family tradition. B. The benefits of exploring the land. C. The necessity of parental company. D. The pleasure of clamming with kids. 6. How did the kids like clamming? A. Tiring but attractive. B. Painful but relaxing. C. Demanding but interesting. D. Adventurous but rewarding. 7. What does the author imply in the last paragraph? A. She is successful in removing pressure. B. She prides herself on educating children. C. Clamming means to her and her kids differently. D. Clamming protects and repairs family relationships. C Sometimes a little modern technology can help turn up an ancient treasure—even if that technology is nothing more than a computer screen and a simple web search. That’s what happened to Federica Gigante, a historian at the University of Cambridge, who was preparing a lecture about ancient collectors. One of those collectors was a 17th-century Italian nobleman from Verona named Ludovico Moscardo. “I simply searched for his name online,” recalls Gigante. The search called up a picture of a room from the Fondazione Museo Miniscalchi-Erizzo in Verona, Italy. She noticed an object on the corner that looked like an astrolabe(星盘). Gigante didn’t know this astrolabe would allow her to chart its journey in the Middle Ages. Gigante tracked down other photos of the object. “And that’s when I got really excited because it was a really amazing object,” she says. It was covered in Arabic. As Gigante examined the photos of this astrolabe carefully, she realized that to understand it further, she simply had to see it up close. So she made her way to Verona. The astrolabe underwent many modifications(修改), additions, and adaptations as it changed hands. At least three separate users felt the need to add translations and corrections to this object, two using Hebrew and one using a Western language. “We can read all of this from the object itself,” says Gigante. “It is powerful evidence of a period of shared existence between different groups who kept on building on each other’s knowledge.” Margaret Gaida, a historian, praised Gigante’s discovery. “It’s actually really exciting,” she says, “because there are very few astrolabes that actually have such clear evidence of coexistence and scientific exchange. Astrolabes like this one remind us that we have a very strong, shared scientific cultural heritage.” In addition, Gaida also explained that the astrolabe helped dispel the opinion that modern science was born in Europe alone. 8. When did Gigante find the astrolabe? A. During conducting an online lecture. B. During touring old museums virtually. C. During analyzing a friend’s collection. D. During collecting data about an Italian. 9. What do we know about the astrolabe? A. It had three owners in order. B. It belongs to an Italian collector. C. It was created by ancient Hebrews. D. It shows cross-cultural communication. 10. What does the underlined word “dispel” in paragraph 5 mean? A. Remove. B. Simplify. C. Improve. D. Explain. 11 What’s the author’s purpose of writing the text? A. To introduce an unintended discovery. B. To stress the significance of astrolabes. C. To share Gigante’s job responsibilities. D. To fan readers’ curiosity about Italian culture. D A photo taken in January 2023 shows a pack of wolves after they killed a moose (驼鹿) at Michigan’s Isle Royale National Park. A photo taken in February 2023 shows two wolf pups playing in the snow at the park. Gray wolves are growing at the park five years after authorities began an attempt to prevent the species from dying out on the Lake Superior island chain. The park is now home to 31 wolves, despite host to only two in 2018. At the same time, the park’s moose population continues a sharp but needed drop. Overpopulation of the animals is the leading cause of their death as they outnumber available balsam firs-their primary food during long, snowbound winters. “The change appears to prove officials’ 2018 decision to airlift wolves to Isle Royale is right,” the researchers said, arguing that the wolves’ return is helping rebalance an ecosystem. The scientists’ annual report, based largely on observations from the air last winter, estimated (估算) the rebuilt population at 31 wolves-up from 28 last year. The moose total was roughly 967, down from 1,346 last year and a 54% decline from about 2,000 in 2019. Ecologists are celebrating what they hope will be a healthier herd. “It’s been hugely successful,” said study co-leader Sarah Hoy. “That’s what everyone was hoping for.” But the early results haven’t settled the debate over whether people should rescue struggling species at Isle Royale or other wilderness areas, where federal (联邦的) law calls for letting nature take its course. “We have felt and still believe that the National Park Service should not step in and set up this unnatural population of wolves,” said Kevin Proescholdt. “Species come and species go,” Proescholdt said, arguing that the Wilderness Act directs us to let nature call the shots and not to impose our human desires. For now, the park’s ecosystem is getting healthier thanks to the wolves’ return. “The old hands-off approach to managing national parks, figuring everything will turn out OK, is probably not enough,” biologist Rolf Peterson said. “Our footprints are all over the entire globe.” 12. What does the author want to show by describing two photos? A. The protection of wildlife habitat. B. The wolves’ high place in nature. C. The difficulty of finding food in winter. D. The effects of the park’s wildlife management. 13. What can we learn about the report from paragraph 3? A. It objects to reintroducing wolves. B. Its results live up to ecologists’ expectations. C. It helps to protect moose from being killed. D. Its data comes from observations made each winter. 14. Which statement will Proescholdt probably agree with? A. The park has little regard for the law. B. Humans maintain the balance of nature. C. Nature determines the future of species. D. Grey wolves are an endangered species. 15. What is a suitable title for the text? A. Should we save Isle Royale National Park? B. How did two wolves impact an ecosystem? C. Grey wolves’ recovery helped a park’s ecosystem D. The hands-off way to control parks pays off 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） A porcelain (瓷器) painter is also called a china painter or decorator.

Michael and his parents were busy planning a big party for him when Grandpa invited him for a walk. Thinking of Grandpa’s joy of waving at passers-by, Michael eagerly agreed. “I’m ready, Grandpa!” Michael replied, watching Grandpa put on his beloved red hat before they went out. As they walked, Grandpa cheerfully waved at the cars that drove by. A young boy leaned out of the window and shouted, “There’s the man in the red hat!” Grandpa waved to him and the people in the next three cars, all of whom joyfully waved back. Although Michael didn’t understand why Grandpa was doing so, he thought it interesting. As they turned a corner, an old man with a brown hat was walking towards them. “Hi, Joseph, it’s good to see you,” Grandpa greeted him warmly. “I hate going out in winter!” Joseph complained, pulling his scarf up over his mouth and nose as he walked by. “He’s bad-tempered (脾气坏的)!” Michael said in a low voice. But Grandpa whispered to him that Joseph was just lonely, for he lived by himself, and suggested they might be able to help. Suddenly, a rush of wind blew off Joseph’s brown hat, sending it towards the pond before the hat disappeared from sight. Joseph was very upset, shaking in the cold. Without hesitation, Grandpa lent a helping hand. “You can take mine if you don’t mind,” he said, handing his red hat over to Joseph. “Thanks,” Joseph said, putting on the red hat and continuing on his way. A car passed, and the people inside waved at Joseph, recognizing him as “the man in the red hat”. Another car passed and honked (鸣喇叭). At first confused, Joseph soon caught on, happily waving back at the third car that greeted him. Observing this heartwarming exchange, Grandpa and Michael couldn’t help but smile, realizing Grandpa’s simple action worked wonders. Paragraph 1: A week later, a birthday party was thrown for Grandpa. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: After the party, Michael and two men in red hats began their daily walk. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 高一年级下学期第二次月考英语试题 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） 1.

When the doorbell rang unexpectedly, Michael opened the door to find Joseph standing there, wearing a new red hat and holding a small gift. “Happy birthday, David,” Joseph said warmly, his eyes sparkling — a stark contrast to his grumpy demeanor before. Grandpa embraced him joyfully, introducing Joseph as his special guest. As Joseph joined the celebration, he shared stories with other guests, his laughter filling the room. Michael watched in awe, realizing how Grandpa’s simple act of kindness had melted Joseph’s loneliness, turning a stranger into a friend. After the party, Michael and two men in red hats began their daily walk. Grandpa and Joseph waved cheerfully at passing cars, while Michael, now wearing a small red hat of his own, eagerly joined in. Drivers honked and waved back, recognizing the trio with bright smiles. When they met a frowning neighbor, Joseph stopped and offered a friendly greeting. To Michael’s surprise, the neighbor paused, then tentatively waved back. As they continued, Michael whispered to Grandpa, “Kindness is like a red hat — everyone notices it.” Grandpa chuckled, patting his shoulder, “And now, you’re passing it on.” 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
