2024－2025学年第二学期期中考试高二英语 一、阅读理解（共两节，满分50分） 第一节（共15小题，每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） A Finding cycling routes that are accessible by train is a great way to extend your rides, avoid busy roads, and maximize the sights you can see. Here are some trips in beautiful locations. Ohio and Erie Canal Towpath Trail The trail is an 87-mile pathway from Cleveland to Bolivar in northeast Ohio. The Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad (CVSR) parallels the trail from Akron to Thornburg Station, a 31-mile stretch through Cuyahoga Valley National Park. The train is open to cyclists and their bikes at eight different historical boarding stations. The towpa th trail hugs the outline of the original Ohio and Erie Canal, a 308-mile canal used to transport freight in the 1800s. Today, the trail passes numerous landmarks, bridges, museums, and villages. Danube Cycle Path The Danube Cycle Path is a long-distance bike path that follows the Danube River for about 745 miles, from Donaueschingen, Germany to Budapest, Hungary. The path is most popular in Austria featuring 245 scenic miles serviced by local and long-distance trains. Most cyclists choose to ride west to east with the flow of the river to take advantage of the natural slope and the flow of bicycle traffic. Lehigh Gorge Rail Trail The trail extends for 25 miles through vibrant woodlands next to the Lehigh River. A historic tourist train called the Lehigh Gorge Scenic Railway follows the trail, allowing cyclists to create a one-way ride rather than backtracking. The rail trail is mostly flat and passes through Lehigh Gorge State Park. Along the way, riders will cross bridges and pass by swimming holes and scenic overlooks. While the train operates most days, the bike service is only offered one weekend a month from May to November. 1. What can be learned about Ohio and Erie Canal Towpath Trail? A. It shares most of its trail with the CVSR. B. It offers a chance to see the local culture. C. It passes through many small cities and villages. D. It offers a view of the entire Ohio and Erie Canal. 2. Why do most cyclists choose to ride west to east along the Danube River? A. To obey traffic rules. B. To appreciate scenic beauty. C. To follow the flow of the river. D. To save effort and join other cyclists. 3. What do the three trips have in common? A. They have a very long history. B. They pass through national parks. C. They offer a view of water scenery. D. They provide bike service all year round. 【答案】1. B 2. D 3. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是应用文。主要介绍了三条适合骑自行车且可通过火车到达的骑行路线。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Ohio and Erie Canal Towpath Trail下的“The towpa th trail hugs the outline of the original Ohio and Erie Canal, a 308-mile canal used to transport freight in the 1800s. Today, the trail passes numerous landmarks, bridges, museums, and villages.(这条城镇小径环绕着最初的俄亥俄和伊利运河的轮廓，这条运河在19世纪用于运输货物，全长308英里。今天，这条路经过了许多地标、桥梁、博物馆和村庄)”可知，Ohio and Erie Canal Towpath Trail这条路径提供了一个了解当地文化的机会。故选B项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Danube Cycle Path下的“Most cyclists choose to ride west to east with the flow of the river to take advantage of the natural slope and the flow of bicycle traffic.(大多数骑行者选择自西向东沿河骑行，以顺应自然坡度和自行车道的车流走向)”可知，大多数骑自行车的人选择沿着多瑙河从西向东骑是为了节省精力，加入其他骑自行车的人。故选D项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Ohio and Erie Canal Towpath Trail下的“The towpa th trail hugs the outline of the original Ohio and Erie Canal, a 308-mile canal used to transport freight in the 1800s.(这条城镇小径环绕着最初的俄亥俄和伊利运河的轮廓，这条运河在19世纪用于运输货物，全长308英里)”，Danube Cycle Path下的“The Danube Cycle Path is a long-distance bike path that follows the Danube River for about 745 miles, from Donaueschingen, Germany to Budapest, Hungary.(多瑙河自行车道是一条沿着多瑙河的长途自行车道，全长约745英里，从德国的多瑙埃辛根（Donaueschingen）到匈牙利的布达佩斯)”以及Lehigh Gorge Rail Trail下的“The trail extends for 25 miles through vibrant woodlands next to the Lehigh River.(这条小径延伸25英里，穿过利哈伊河旁生机勃勃的林地)”可知，三条路线都途经河流，所以共同点是可以看到水景。故选C项。 B Few people doubt the value of developing students' thinking skills. A focus on critical thinking is common in education. In the Australian Curriculum, critical thinking and creative thinking are known as “general capabilities”. The US has a similar focus through their “common core". Many approaches to developing critical thinking are based on Philosophy for Children. One strategy that has a large impact on students' ability to analyse and evaluate arguments is argument mapping, in which a student's reasoning can be visually displayed by capturing the inferential pathway from assumption to conclusion. This type of argument-based intellectual engagement can show high outcomes in terms of the quality of thinking in any classroom. Research also shows deliberate attention to the practice of reasoning in the context of our everyday lives can be significantly improved through targeted teaching. Teachers at one high school in Australia, who have much training in critical thinking teaching methods, developed a task that asked students to determine Australia's greatest sports person. Students needed to construct their own criteria for greatness. To do so, they had to analyze the Australian sporting context, create possible evaluative standards, explain and justify why some standards would be more acceptable than others and apply these to their candidates. They then needed to argue their case with their classmates to develop criteria that were solid, defensible, widely applicable and produced a choice that seized significant and relevant aspects of Australian sport. Researchers looking at the gains made in a single term of teaching critical thinking with argument mapping said the critical thinking gains measured are close to those that could be expected to result from three years of undergraduate education. Students who are taught to think well also do better on subject-based exams and standardized tests than those who do not. In terms of developing 21st century skills, which includes setting up students for lifelong learning, teaching critical thinking should be core business. 4. Which of the following can explain the underlined word “capturing" in Paragraph 2? A Describing. B. Attracting. C. Designing. D. Blocking. 5. What’s the purpose of Paragraph 3? A. To construct the criteria for being great. B. To acknowledge the teachers' outcomes. C. To present how to teach critical thinking. D. To emphasize the importance of reasoning. 6. What is the author's attitude toward teaching critical thinking? A. Objective. B. Supportive. C. Doubtful. D. Cautious. 7. What does this text imply? A. Teaching methods should vary among schools. B. Research on education deserves more attention. C. Critical thinking should be valued in education. D. Concepts of critical thinking aren't well received. 【答案】4. A 5. C 6. B 7. C 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章通过阐述批判性思维的研究依据，结合澳大利亚的批判性思维在教育中的应用结果，最终得出结论：在发展21世纪的技能(包括培养终身学习)方面，教授批判性思维应该是核心业务。 【4题详解】 词义猜测题。结合题干，可以定位文章中的句子。第二段第二句 One strategy that has a large impact on students' ability to analyse and evaluate arguments is argument mapping, in which a student's reasoning can be visually displayed by capturing the inferential pathway from assumption to conclusion. 对学生分析和评估论点的能力有很大影响的一个策略是论点映射，通过从假设到结论的推理路径，学生的推理可以直观地显示出来。根据本句中mapping绘制……地图，可以看成，学生的推理能力是通过从假设到结论的描述直观地显示出来。因而句中capture应该是描述的意思。故选A项。 【5题详解】 写作目的题。结合本段第一句Teachers at one high school in Australia, who have much training in critical thinking teaching methods, developed a task that asked students to determine Australia's greatest sports person. Students needed to construct their own criteria for greatness. 澳大利亚一所高中的教师，在批判性思维教学方法方面受过很多训练，他们开发了一项任务，要求学生们选出澳大利亚最伟大的运动员。 学生们需要建立自己的标准来衡量自己的成就。再结合随后的句子：To do so, they had to analyze the Australian sporting context, create possible evaluative standards, explain and justify why some standards would be more acceptable than others and apply these to their candidates. They then needed to argue their case with their classmates to develop criteria that were solid, defensible, widely applicable and produced a choice that seized significant and relevant aspects of Australian sport.为此，他们必须分析澳大利亚的体育背景，制定可能的评估标准，解释并证明为什么有些标准比其他标准更容易被接受，并将这些标准应用到他们的候选人身上。 然后，他们需要与同学辩论，制定可靠、可辩护、广泛适用的标准，并产生一个抓住了澳大利亚体育的重要和相关方面的选择。可以看出，本段主要讲的就是批判性思维在教育中的具体实施方法。选项C符合题意，故选C项。 【6题详解】 写作态度题。根据最后一段In terms of developing 21st century skills, which includes setting up students for lifelong learning, teaching critical thinking should be core business.就培养21世纪的技能(包括培养终身学习学生)而言，教授批判性思维应该是核心业务。可以看出，作者对与批判性思维在教育中的作用是肯定的，选项B符合题意。故选B项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。结合全文内容，批判性思维对发展学生思维的价值是有重要意义的，再根据最后一段In terms of developing 21st century skills, which includes setting up students for lifelong learning, teaching critical thinking should be core business.就培养21世纪的技能(包括培养终身学习学生)而言，教授批判性思维应该是核心业务。可以得出，本文主要讲述在教育上应该重视批判性思维对学生能力发展的意义。故选C项。 C Arts and culture is lived and breathed in every corner of Canada.

Its latest model, DeepSeek-R1, combines advanced machine learning methods to provide personalized learning solutions for students worldwide. Unlike traditional AI models that rely on pre-programmed answers, DeepSeek-R1 uses reinforcement(强化) learning to simulate human reasoning. This allows it to guide students through problem-solving step by step, much like a patient tutor. For example, when a student struggles with a math equation, DeepSeek-R1 doesn’t just give the answer; it breaks down the logic, identifies errors, and encourages critical thinking. The model’s applications extend beyond academics. In language learning, it analyzes students’ pronunciation through AI speech recognition and offers real-time feedback. For teachers, DeepSeek-R1 can generate lesson plans aligned with curriculum standards and even predict students’ learning difficulties based on historical data. Its “adaptive testing” feature creates customized quizzes that adjust difficulty according to individual progress. However, challenges remain. Critics argue that over-reliance on AI might reduce human interaction in education. DeepSeek’s developers address this by emphasizing its role as a “supplement, not a replacement.” As Dr. Li, a DeepSeek researcher, stated, “Our goal is to free teachers from repetitive tasks so they can focus on inspiring creativity.” Looking ahead, DeepSeek aims to integrate virtual reality (VR) into its platform, allowing students to explore historical events or scientific concepts in immersive 3D environments. While ethical debates about AI in education persist, one thing is clear: tools like DeepSeek are reshaping how we learn, blending technology with human wisdom. 12. What makes DeepSeek-R1 different from traditional AI models? A. It uses pre-programmed answers. B. It focuses on memorization techniques. C. It replaces teachers in classrooms. D. It employs reinforcement learning for reasoning. 13. The underlined word “adaptive” in Paragraph 3 most likely means ______. A. fixed B. adjustable C. difficult D. outdated 14. What can be inferred about DeepSeek’s future plans? A. VR technology will improve interactive learning. B. It will remove all classroom activities. C. It prioritizes profit over educational values. D. Teachers will lose their jobs to AI. 15. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To advertise DeepSeek products. B To criticize the risks of AI in schools. C. To discuss AI’s role in transforming education. D. To compare different AI models. 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. A 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了中国AI公司DeepSeek及其最新模型DeepSeek-R1在教育技术中的应用、优势、挑战及未来发展方向。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Unlike traditional AI models that rely on pre-programmed answers, DeepSeek-R1 uses reinforcement (强化) learning to simulate human reasoning.(与依赖预编程答案的传统AI模型不同，DeepSeek-R1使用强化学习来模拟人类的推理过程)”可知，DeepSeek-R1与传统AI模型的区别在于它使用强化学习来进行推理。故选D。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线单词所在的句子“creates customized quizzes that adjust difficulty according to individual progress(创建定制的测验，根据个人进度调整难度)”可知，DeepSeek能够创建个性化的测验，根据个人的进度调整难度，由此可知，adaptive的意思接近于adjustable“可调节的”。故选B。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Looking ahead, DeepSeek aims to integrate virtual reality (VR) into its platform, allowing students to explore historical events or scientific concepts in immersive 3D environments.(展望未来，DeepSeek计划将其平台与虚拟现实(VR)技术整合，让学生能够在沉浸式的3D环境中探索历史事件或科学概念)”可知，DeepSeek旨在将其平台与虚拟现实(VR)相结合，以帮助学生学习，由此可推知，未来VR技术将改善互动学习。故选A。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“With the rapid development of artificial intelligence, DeepSeek, a Chinese AI company, has emerged as a pioneer in educational technology.

But due to situations she couldn’t control, her time as a teacher was cut short. However, today she got a special chance to live out a part of that dream. Her task was to persuade a teenage boy named Charles Cable not to drop out of school. Sitting at her desk, Auntie Kiki carefully went through Charles’ file. She felt both worried and determined. She wondered how she could convince him to stay in school. From the file, she understood why he might want to quit. He was failing all his subjects, and it wasn’t just his poor performance. His teachers seemed to have given up on him, not giving him a fair chance to succeed. His classmates were unkind and made his school life terrible. In such a situation, anyone would want to leave. But Auntie Kiki was set on helping him. She thought back to her own struggles in school. She remembered feeling like she would never reach the reading level for her grade. She recalled the humiliation (屈辱) when her teachers and classmates made her feel bad. Yet, something inside her kept her going. She tried hard to remember what had helped her get through those tough times and eventually become a teacher. Was it the strong desire to prove everyone wrong? Auntie Kiki arranged to meet Charles in her office. When Charles walked in, he looked a bit nervous. “Miss, what is up?” he asked, a bit surprised. “Now, come here,” she replied gently, pointing to a chair. “Let’s sit down and have a talk, Charles.” As they sat, Auntie Kiki began by asking Charles about his feelings.

Here are some trips in beautiful locations. Ohio and Erie Canal Towpath Trail The trail is an 87-mile pathway from Cleveland to Bolivar in northeast Ohio. The Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad (CVSR) parallels the trail from Akron to Thornburg Station, a 31-mile stretch through Cuyahoga Valley National Park. The train is open to cyclists and their bikes at eight different historical boarding stations. The towpa th trail hugs the outline of the original Ohio and Erie Canal, a 308-mile canal used to transport freight in the 1800s. Today, the trail passes numerous landmarks, bridges, museums, and villages. Danube Cycle Path The Danube Cycle Path is a long-distance bike path that follows the Danube River for about 745 miles, from Donaueschingen, Germany to Budapest, Hungary. The path is most popular in Austria featuring 245 scenic miles serviced by local and long-distance trains. Most cyclists choose to ride west to east with the flow of the river to take advantage of the natural slope and the flow of bicycle traffic. Lehigh Gorge Rail Trail The trail extends for 25 miles through vibrant woodlands next to the Lehigh River. A historic tourist train called the Lehigh Gorge Scenic Railway follows the trail, allowing cyclists to create a one-way ride rather than backtracking. The rail trail is mostly flat and passes through Lehigh Gorge State Park. Along the way, riders will cross bridges and pass by swimming holes and scenic overlooks. While the train operates most days, the bike service is only offered one weekend a month from May to November. 1. What can be learned about Ohio and Erie Canal Towpath Trail? A. It shares most of its trail with the CVSR. B. It offers a chance to see the local culture. C. It passes through many small cities and villages. D. It offers a view of the entire Ohio and Erie Canal. 2. Why do most cyclists choose to ride west to east along the Danube River? A. To obey traffic rules. B. To appreciate scenic beauty. C. To follow the flow of the river. D. To save effort and join other cyclists. 3. What do the three trips have in common? A. They have a very long history. B. They pass through national parks. C. They offer a view of water scenery. D. They provide bike service all year round. B Few people doubt the value of developing students' thinking skills. A focus on critical thinking is common in education. In the Australian Curriculum, critical thinking and creative thinking are known as “general capabilities”. The US has a similar focus through their “common core". Many approaches to developing critical thinking are based on Philosophy for Children. One strategy that has a large impact on students' ability to analyse and evaluate arguments is argument mapping, in which a student's reasoning can be visually displayed by capturing the inferential pathway from assumption to conclusion. This type of argument-based intellectual engagement can show high outcomes in terms of the quality of thinking in any classroom. Research also shows deliberate attention to the practice of reasoning in the context of our everyday lives can be significantly improved through targeted teaching. Teachers at one high school in Australia, who have much training in critical thinking teaching methods, developed a task that asked students to determine Australia's greatest sports person. Students needed to construct their own criteria for greatness. To do so, they had to analyze the Australian sporting context, create possible evaluative standards, explain and justify why some standards would be more acceptable than others and apply these to their candidates. They then needed to argue their case with their classmates to develop criteria that were solid, defensible, widely applicable and produced a choice that seized significant and relevant aspects of Australian sport. Researchers looking at the gains made in a single term of teaching critical thinking with argument mapping said the critical thinking gains measured are close to those that could be expected to result from three years of undergraduate education. Students who are taught to think well also do better on subject-based exams and standardized tests than those who do not. In terms of developing 21st century skills, which includes setting up students for lifelong learning, teaching critical thinking should be core business. 4. Which of the following can explain the underlined word “capturing" in Paragraph 2? A. Describing. B. Attracting. C. Designing. D. Blocking. 5 What’s the purpose of Paragraph 3? A To construct the criteria for being great. B. To acknowledge the teachers' outcomes. C. To present how to teach critical thinking. D. To emphasize the importance of reasoning. 6. What is the author's attitude toward teaching critical thinking? A. Objective. B. Supportive. C. Doubtful. D. Cautious. 7. What does this text imply? A. Teaching methods should vary among schools. B. Research on education deserves more attention. C. Critical thinking should be valued in education. D. Concepts of critical thinking aren't well received. C Arts and culture is lived and breathed in every corner of Canada. Due to a racial and immigrant population, the variety and richness of art and sports is very evident. Since World War I, Canada has produced an impressive amount of writing. From novel to poetry, the selection is wide. Native writers are also becoming better known across Canada in recent years. Musicians are reaching a higher level of recognition in the world music scene. Everything from country to pop, classical to heavy rock can be found across Canada and across the globe performed by Canadian artists. Canadian photography as well as painting by Canadians is not well-known outside of Canada but recognition is increasing. The National Film Board, a film crew in Canada, is the primary producer of movies in Canada. However, many Hollywood studios are turning to Canada as a source for locations and as an alternative to the more expensive US. Many well-known actors, directors, screen writers and movies come from Canada and often win international awards for their work. French art was the first to appear in Canada along the St Lawrence in and around Quebec. Since then the amount of art and artists has increased. Sport is a major part of today's society in Canada. Hockey is the most popular spectator sport with more participants taking part in curling. American style football and baseball are also very popular and all of these sports are played across Canada. 8 What give Canada various forms of art and culture? A. The different immigrants. B. The large area. C. The long history. D. The large population. 9. Which group of Canadian artists is well-known all over the world today? A. Painters and writers. B. Photographers and actors. C. Musicians, actors and directors. D. Native writers and screen writers. 10. What can we know from the text? A. Canadian writers are only good at poetry. B. Canadian people love sports very much. C. There are many big film-making companies in Canada. D. Canadian arts have been much influenced by Americans. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. Canadian Artists B. Brief Introduction to Canada C. Canadian Arts, Culture and Sports D. Canadian Arts and Culture Are World Famous D With the rapid development of artificial intelligence, DeepSeek, a Chinese AI company, has emerged as a pioneer in educational technology. Its latest model, DeepSeek-R1, combines advanced machine learning methods to provide personalized learning solutions for students worldwide. Unlike traditional AI models that rely on pre-programmed answers, DeepSeek-R1 uses reinforcement(强化) learning to simulate human reasoning. This allows it to guide students through problem-solving step by step, much like a patient tutor. For example, when a student struggles with a math equation, DeepSeek-R1 doesn’t just give the answer; it breaks down the logic, identifies errors, and encourages critical thinking. The model’s applications extend beyond academics. In language learning, it analyzes students’ pronunciation through AI speech recognition and offers real-time feedback. For teachers, DeepSeek-R1 can generate lesson plans aligned with curriculum standards and even predict students’ learning difficulties based on historical data. Its “adaptive testing” feature creates customized quizzes that adjust difficulty according to individual progress. However, challenges remain. Critics argue that over-reliance on AI might reduce human interaction in education. DeepSeek’s developers address this by emphasizing its role as a “supplement, not a replacement.” As Dr. Li, a DeepSeek researcher, stated, “Our goal is to free teachers from repetitive tasks so they can focus on inspiring creativity.” Looking ahead, DeepSeek aims to integrate virtual reality (VR) into its platform, allowing students to explore historical events or scientific concepts in immersive 3D environments. While ethical debates about AI in education persist, one thing is clear: tools like DeepSeek are reshaping how we learn, blending technology with human wisdom. 12. What makes DeepSeek-R1 different from traditional AI models? A. It uses pre-programmed answers. B. It focuses on memorization techniques. C It replaces teachers in classrooms. D. It employs reinforcement learning for reasoning. 13. The underlined word “adaptive” in Paragraph 3 most likely means ______. A. fixed B. adjustable C. difficult D. outdated 14. What can be inferred about DeepSeek’s future plans? A. VR technology will improve interactive learning. B. It will remove all classroom activities. C. It prioritizes profit over educational values. D. Teachers will lose their jobs to AI. 15. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To advertise DeepSeek products. B. To criticize the risks of AI in schools. C. To discuss AI’s role in transforming education. D. To compare different AI models. 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入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 Going green while travelling is an effective way to protect the Earth’s natural and cultural resources.

But due to situations she couldn’t control, her time as a teacher was cut short. However, today she got a special chance to live out a part of that dream. Her task was to persuade a teenage boy named Charles Cable not to drop out of school. Sitting at her desk, Auntie Kiki carefully went through Charles’ file. She felt both worried and determined. She wondered how she could convince him to stay in school. From the file, she understood why he might want to quit. He was failing all his subjects, and it wasn’t just his poor performance. His teachers seemed to have given up on him, not giving him a fair chance to succeed. His classmates were unkind and made his school life terrible. In such a situation, anyone would want to leave. But Auntie Kiki was set on helping him. She thought back to her own struggles in school. She remembered feeling like she would never reach the reading level for her grade. She recalled the humiliation (屈辱) when her teachers and classmates made her feel bad. Yet, something inside her kept her going. She tried hard to remember what had helped her get through those tough times and eventually become a teacher. Was it the strong desire to prove everyone wrong? Auntie Kiki arranged to meet Charles in her office. When Charles walked in, he looked a bit nervous. “Miss, what is up?” he asked, a bit surprised. “Now, come here,” she replied gently, pointing to a chair. “Let’s sit down and have a talk, Charles.” As they sat, Auntie Kiki began by asking Charles about his feelings. He opened up, talking about the unfair treatment from his teachers, the bullying from his classmates, and the overwhelming sense of failure. Auntie Kiki listened attentively, not interrupting him. 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。 After he finished, Auntie Kiki shared her own story. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After their conversation, Charles’ attitude started to change. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
