A group of well-known musicians served as judges and chose the seven top students to perform in the finals concert.

Brigitte is the youngest winner (获胜者) of the Elite International Music Competition. Brigitte’s feet hang above the floor when the small girl sits on the piano seat. Her hands dance across the piano keys. Brigitte shyly looks down when her mother asks her, “Do you like playing the piano? Is it fun to play the piano?” “Yeah, fun,” Brigitte answers. Brigitte started to have online piano classes about a year ago. Her father bought the lessons to give her something to do at home. “At the beginning, I never thought that she could do so well in it,” her father says. Brigitte’s mother thanks her piano teacher, Felicia, a lot. “From the lessons, I notice that she loves to learn,” her teacher says. Brigitte’s mother says her daughter may have more talent (天赋) and interest in music than other children. But the most important thing is that they found Felicia. “Yeah, we are really lucky to meet her and have her as Brigitte’s first piano teacher,” she says. 24.

Brigitte is the youngest winner (获胜者) of the Elite International Music Competition. (年仅四岁的谢布里吉特不仅能识乐谱，还能演奏贝多芬的一首古典乐曲。她是 “精英国际音乐比赛” 最年轻的获胜者。)”及第四段中的“Brigitte started to have online piano classes about a year ago.(Brigitte大约一年前开始上在线钢琴课。)”可知，Brigitte开始学钢琴时三岁。故选C项。 【26题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段“Brigitte started to have online piano classes about a year ago. Her father bought the lessons to give her something to do at home. (Brigitte大约一年前开始上在线钢琴课。她父亲买这些课程是为了让她在家有事可做。)”可知，it指代上文中提到的同一事物，上文中提到的是“弹钢琴”这一事情，由此可知，“it”指弹钢琴。故选B项。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Brigitte’s mother says her daughter may have more talent (天赋) and interest in music than other children.

(Brigitte的母亲说，她的女儿可能比其他孩子在音乐方面更有天赋和兴趣。但最重要的是他们找到了费莉西娅。“是的，我们真的很幸运能遇见她，并让她成为布里吉特的第一位钢琴老师，”她说。)”可知，最后一段主要讲Brigitte的母亲感谢女儿有这样一位好老师。故选D项。 C Elephants are the largest terrestrial (陆地的) animals. For a long time, they are very helpful. They carry big trees, take people from place to place and are even used in wars. Some people think it’s not easy to hurt an elephant because its skin is thick and hard. In fact, that’s wrong. Sometimes, a needle (针) can also be very dangerous for the elephant. People say elephants are afraid of mice. This is wrong, too. In fact, elephants have very poor eyesight(视力), so they usually cannot see a mouse even if one comes very close to them. If a person has a good memory (记忆), people will say that he has an elephant memory. However, up to now, no study shows that elephants have a better memory than any other animal. People also believe that when it is time for elephants to die, they will hide themselves in a so-called “elephant graveyard”. Often, hunters by to find such places to get ivories (象牙) but few people really find places like that. In fact, when elephants are old or get sick, they will stay in deep and secret caves (洞穴) until they get better or die. 28. Elephants can help people a lot EXCEPT that they ________. A. carry heavy trees B. help people build houses C. carry people to different places D. help people in the war 29. Why do some people think it isn’t easy to hurt an elephant? A. Because the elephant is too big. B. Because people can’t get close to it. C. Because the elephant can kill people. D. Because its skin is thick and hard. 30. How do you understand the underline part “elephant graveyard” in the last paragraph? A. A place for hiding dead elephants. B. A place for animals to play in. C. A place with yards and flowers. D. A place where elephants are safe. 31. What can we learn from the passage? A. Elephants are afraid of mice. B. Elephants have very poor memory. C. Elephants cannot see very clearly. D. Elephants never go to caves. 【答案】28. B 29. D 30. A 31. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要讲述了大象是陆地上最大的动物，它可以帮助人们做很多事情。但是有很多关于大象的观点其实都是错误的，这篇短文给我们介绍了这些错误的观点和真实的情况是什么样的。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“For a long time, they are very helpful. They carry big trees, take people from place to place and are even used in wars. (长期以来，他们非常有帮助。它们携带大树，将人们从一个地方带到另一个地方，甚至用于战争。)”可知，大象可以搬运沉重的树木，把人带到不同的地方，帮助战争中的人们，但是不能帮助人们建造房屋。ACD选项文章都提到了，B选项未提及，故选B。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Some people think it’s not easy to hurt an elephant because its skin is thick and hard. (有些人认为伤害大象并不容易，因为它的皮肤又厚又硬。)”可知，有些人认为伤害大象不容易，因为它的皮肤又厚又硬。故选D。 【30题详解】 词句猜测题。根据最后一段“People also believe that when it is time for elephants to die, they will hide themselves in a so-called “elephant graveyard”. (人们还认为，当大象死亡的时候，它们会躲在所谓的elephant graveyard里。)”可知，当大象快要死亡的时候，它们会把自己藏在某个地方，所以elephant graveyard就是用来隐藏死去的大象的地方，和选项A意思一致。故选A。 【31题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“In fact, elephants have very poor eyesight (实际上，大象的视力很差。)”可知，大象的视力很差，所以看东西不是很清楚。故选C。 D Do you know how to cycle? It is a skill that, once learned, is never forgotten. For the majority of us, the art of balancing on two wheels was mastered during our childhood. Many still wear helmets, put feet on the pedals, and take a ride around the streets. And in recent years, cycling has become more and more popular. What attracts people to ride their bikes once again? Cycling offers a lot of advantages that affect both our physical and mental health. For example, regular cycling can improve the function of our cardiovascular (心血管的)system, assist in the burning of extra body fat and strengthen our leg muscles. A long ride in the countryside helps us to clear our mind easily. Riding a bike is a smart choice for getting to work, shopping, or sightseeing. You can save money that you would otherwise spend on fuels and fares. Unlike cars that struggle with parking, bikes can be easily locked up. Then, on the train, there are chances at stations and other people speaking loudly on their phones. Cyclists face neither of these problems. And if we’re worried about safety, there are cycle lanes in many cities, or we can wear light-colored clothes to improve our safety when cycling on the roads. Cycling can also be good for the environment. It cuts our carbon footprint, which means we make less pollution. It’s great for our planet and keeps the air clean around us. When we ride bikes, we don’t use fuel like cars do, and that’s really good for our environment. Therefore, more and more people choose to ride for many benefits such as improving their health, easily going to work, saving money, protecting the environment, or a combination of these factors. 32. When do most people learn to ride? A. In their free time. B. After their retirement. C. At their young ages. D. During their adulthood. 33. Which of the following best describes cycling? A. It is a good way to save money. B. It is a great idea to relax cyclists. C. It is dangerous to cycle on the roads. D. It is difficult to find a place park the bike. 34. How does cycling affect the environment? A. Consumes more fuels. B. Increases air pollution. C. Causes fewer accidents. D. Reduces carbon footprint. 35. In which section of a magazine may this text appear? A. Sports & Health. B. Travel & Culture. C. Science & Technology. D. Animals & Environment. 【答案】32. C 33. A 34. D 35. A 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇说明文，介绍了骑自行车的好处。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“For the majority of us, the art of balancing on two wheels was mastered during our childhood. Many still wear helmets, put feet on the pedals, and take a ride around the streets.(对于我们大多数人来说，在童年时期就掌握了在两个轮子上保持平衡的艺术。许多人仍然戴着头盔，把脚放在踏板上，在街上骑车)”可知，大部分人在年幼时就学习骑自行车。故选C。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“You can save money that you would otherwise spend on fuels and fares.(你可以省下原本要花在燃料和车费上的钱)”可知，骑自行车是一个省钱的好方式。故选A。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“Cycling can also be good for the environment. It cuts our carbon footprint, which means we make less pollution. It’s great for our planet and keeps the air clean around us. When we ride bikes, we don’t use fuel like cars do, and that’s really good for our environment.(骑车对环境也有好处。它减少了我们的碳足迹，这意味着我们制造了更少的污染。这对我们的星球很好，并保持我们周围的空气清洁。当我们骑自行车时，我们不像汽车那样使用燃料，这对我们的环境真的很好)”可知，骑自行车可以减少我们的碳足迹，从而保护环境。故选D。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Cycling offers a lot of advantages that affect both our physical and mental health.(骑自行车有很多好处，影响我们的身心健康)”及最后一段“Therefore, more and more people choose to ride for many benefits such as improving their health, easily going to work, saving money, protecting the environment, or a combination of these factors.(因此，越来越多的人选择骑车有很多好处，如改善他们的健康，方便上班，省钱，保护环境，或这些因素的组合)”可知，本文讲述了骑自行车运动对于我们的好处，因此，可以在“运动和健康”一部分读到本文。故选A。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 For many high school students, it seems that there is never enough time.

Tim, a determined but easily-frustrated student, was facing a big challenge in math. His previous test scores were far from satisfactory, which made him quite worried about the coming mid-term exam. He spent hours every day doing math exercises, but the more he practiced, the more confused he became. One day, after another disappointing practice test, Tim almost gave up. He sat alone in the empty classroom, staring blankly at the test paper full of red crosses. Just then, his math teacher, Mr. Smith, came in. Noticing Tim’s distress, Mr. Smith sat beside him and said softly, “Tim, I know you’ve been working hard. Everyone has setbacks in learning. The key is not to be defeated by them.” With that, Mr. Smith patiently went through the test paper with Tim, explaining the mistakes one by one and giving him some useful study tips. Encouraged by Mr. Smith, Tim decided to change his learning method. He started to make a detailed study plan, dividing the math knowledge into small parts and solving problems step by step. He also joined a study group in the class. In the study group, he could discuss difficult questions with his classmates. As the mid-term exam was approaching, Tim was both nervous and looking forward to it. On the day before the exam, while he was doing the last-minute review, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his head. The headache got worse and worse, making it impossible for him to concentrate. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Tim was too anxious about the exam to fall asleep, even though he knew he needed a good rest. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next day, Tim went to the exam room with Mr. Smith’s encouragement. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Tim was too anxious about the exam to fall asleep, even though he knew he needed a good rest. His mind blank and heart messy, he was at such a complete loss that he had no clue about what action to take. He buried his face in the quilt, tears blurring his eyes for a long time and finally overflowing almost uncontrollably as waves of frustration swept over him. The harder he strove to compose himself, the more restless and distracted he felt. Just at this critical moment, the louder ring of the phone broke the silence when anxiety had almost overwhelmed him. It turned out to be his math teacher. Mr. Smith encouraged him, “Tim, don’t be stressed. You have started diligently and made remarkable progress these days.” His timely encouragement was as comforting as a ray of sunshine in the dark clouds of his anxiety. Tim took a deep breath, gradually calmed down and finally managed to get some sleep. The next day, Tim went to the exam room with Mr. Smith’s encouragement. Pregnant with a mix of worry and determination, Tim unfolded the test paper. The instant his eyes landed on the paper, he found the problems manageable and accessible to tackle. For the first time, math seemed less like a foreign language but more like a puzzle waiting to be solved. With Mr. Smith’s encouragement echoing in his mind and a newfound sense of confidence cultivated, he solved all the problems smoothly. Upon the release of the results, he got a much more satisfactory grade. A look of relief tinged with excitement appeared on his face. It dawned on him that with the courage to continue in the face of adversity, even the hardest challenges could be victories. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了高一学生Tim在数学学习上遇到困难，之前考试成绩不理想，在数学老师Mr. Smith 的鼓励和帮助下，他改变学习方法并加入学习小组。然而，在期中考试前一天，Tim突然头痛，影响了复习，他焦虑得难以入睡。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“尽管Tim知道他需要好好休息，但他对考试太焦虑了，睡不着觉。”可知，第一段可描写Tim 因焦虑难以入睡的状态描写以及可能出现外界因素帮助他缓解焦虑。 ②由第二段首句内容“第二天，Tim在史密斯先生的鼓励下去了考场”可知，第二段可描写Tim带着鼓励进入考场的状态及考试过程、考试结果及 Tim 的感悟。 2. 续写线索：焦虑难眠——老师来电鼓励——缓解焦虑入睡——带着鼓励进考场——顺利考试——取得好成绩——获得感悟 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①鼓励：encourage/motivate ②努力：strive/endeavor ③平静下来：calm down/compose oneself 情绪类： ① 宽慰：relief/comfort ② 沮丧：frustration/depression 【点睛】【高分句型1】With Mr. Smith’s encouragement echoing in his mind and a newfound sense of confidence cultivated, he solved all the problems smoothly.（运用了with复合结构） 【高分句型2】It dawned on him that with the courage to continue in the face of adversity, even the hardest challenges could be victories.（运用了that引导的主语从句，it作形式主语） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2024—2025学年第二学期期中质量检测试卷 高 一 英 语 考试时间：120分钟 分值：150分 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30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。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. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 When does the train leave for Chicago?

Tickets are $19 for the general public, $15 for the elderly and $9 for students. To order tickets, call (307) 766-6666 or go online at www.tix.com/ticket-sales/uwyo/6984. The concert is named after Dorothy Jacoby, a musical and founding member of the local Symphony Association and a longtime supporter of classical music in Laramie. After her death, her sons, Peter and Michael Jacoby, made a generous contribution in honour of their mother. “The Jacoby Competition never fails to be one of the UW Symphony Orchestra’s most exciting events,” says UW Department of Music Professor Michael Griffith. “What you will hear is actually the finals of a two-stage competition.” Several months ago, many UW music students played their selected pieces in the audition (试演) round. A group of well-known musicians served as judges and chose the seven top students to perform in the finals concert. Another set of judges will be at the performance and will decide the best two performances of the evening. The winners will get the $2,500 prize that is awarded at the performance. 21.

Brigitte is the youngest winner (获胜者) of the Elite International Music Competition. Brigitte’s feet hang above the floor when the small girl sits on the piano seat. Her hands dance across the piano keys. Brigitte shyly looks down when her mother asks her, “Do you like playing the piano? Is it fun to play the piano?” “Yeah, fun,” Brigitte answers. Brigitte started to have online piano classes about a year ago. Her father bought the lessons to give her something to do at home. “At the beginning, I never thought that she could do so well in it,” her father says. Brigitte’s mother thanks her piano teacher, Felicia, a lot. “From the lessons, I notice that she loves to learn,” her teacher says. Brigitte’s mother says her daughter may have more talent (天赋) and interest in music than other children. But the most important thing is that they found Felicia. “Yeah, we are really lucky to meet her and have her as Brigitte’s first piano teacher,” she says. 24.

They carry big trees, take people from place to place and are even used in wars. Some people think it’s not easy to hurt an elephant because its skin is thick and hard. In fact, that’s wrong. Sometimes, a needle (针) can also be very dangerous for the elephant. People say elephants are afraid of mice. This is wrong, too. In fact, elephants have very poor eyesight(视力), so they usually cannot see a mouse even if one comes very close to them. If a person has a good memory (记忆), people will say that he has an elephant memory. However, up to now, no study shows that elephants have a better memory than any other animal. People also believe that when it is time for elephants to die, they will hide themselves in a so-called “elephant graveyard”. Often, hunters by to find such places to get ivories (象牙) but few people really find places like that. In fact, when elephants are old or get sick, they will stay in deep and secret caves (洞穴) until they get better or die. 28. Elephants can help people a lot EXCEPT that they ________. A. carry heavy trees B. help people build houses C. carry people to different places D. help people in the war 29. Why do some people think it isn’t easy to hurt an elephant? A. Because the elephant is too big. B. Because people can’t get close to it. C. Because the elephant can kill people. D. Because its skin is thick and hard. 30. How do you understand the underline part “elephant graveyard” in the last paragraph? A. A place for hiding dead elephants. B. A place for animals to play in. C. A place with yards and flowers. D. A place where elephants are safe. 31. What can we learn from the passage? A. Elephants are afraid of mice. B. Elephants have very poor memory. C. Elephants cannot see very clearly. D. Elephants never go to caves. D Do you know how to cycle? It is a skill that, once learned, is never forgotten. For the majority of us, the art of balancing on two wheels was mastered during our childhood. Many still wear helmets, put feet on the pedals, and take a ride around the streets. And in recent years, cycling has become more and more popular. What attracts people to ride their bikes once again? Cycling offers a lot of advantages that affect both our physical and mental health. For example, regular cycling can improve the function of our cardiovascular (心血管的)system, assist in the burning of extra body fat and strengthen our leg muscles. A long ride in the countryside helps us to clear our mind easily. Riding a bike is a smart choice for getting to work, shopping, or sightseeing. You can save money that you would otherwise spend on fuels and fares. Unlike cars that struggle with parking, bikes can be easily locked up. Then, on the train, there are chances at stations and other people speaking loudly on their phones. Cyclists face neither of these problems. And if we’re worried about safety, there are cycle lanes in many cities, or we can wear light-colored clothes to improve our safety when cycling on the roads. Cycling can also be good for the environment. It cuts our carbon footprint, which means we make less pollution. It’s great for our planet and keeps the air clean around us. When we ride bikes, we don’t use fuel like cars do, and that’s really good for our environment. Therefore, more and more people choose to ride for many benefits such as improving their health, easily going to work, saving money, protecting the environment, or a combination of these factors. 32. When do most people learn to ride? A. In their free time. B. After their retirement. C. At their young ages. D. During their adulthood. 33. Which of the following best describes cycling? A. It is a good way to save money. B. It is a great idea to relax cyclists. C. It is dangerous to cycle on the roads. D. It is difficult to find a place park the bike. 34. How does cycling affect the environment? A. Consumes more fuels. B. Increases air pollution. C. Causes fewer accidents. D. Reduces carbon footprint. 35. In which section of a magazine may this text appear? A. Sports & Health. B. Travel & Culture. C. Science & Technology. D. Animals & Environment. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 For many high school students, it seems that there is never enough time.

Tim, a determined but easily-frustrated student, was facing a big challenge in math. His previous test scores were far from satisfactory, which made him quite worried about the coming mid-term exam. He spent hours every day doing math exercises, but the more he practiced, the more confused he became. One day, after another disappointing practice test, Tim almost gave up. He sat alone in the empty classroom, staring blankly at the test paper full of red crosses. Just then, his math teacher, Mr. Smith, came in. Noticing Tim’s distress, Mr. Smith sat beside him and said softly, “Tim, I know you’ve been working hard. Everyone has setbacks in learning. The key is not to be defeated by them.” With that, Mr. Smith patiently went through the test paper with Tim, explaining the mistakes one by one and giving him some useful study tips. Encouraged by Mr. Smith, Tim decided to change his learning method. He started to make a detailed study plan, dividing the math knowledge into small parts and solving problems step by step. He also joined a study group in the class. In the study group, he could discuss difficult questions with his classmates. As the mid-term exam was approaching, Tim was both nervous and looking forward to it. On the day before the exam, while he was doing the last-minute review, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his head. The headache got worse and worse, making it impossible for him to concentrate. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Tim was too anxious about the exam to fall asleep, even though he knew he needed a good rest. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next day, Tim went to the exam room with Mr. Smith’s encouragement. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $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，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。I'm in a rush to get to chicago, but I can't see the timetable clearly.
