B Born in Pakistan Malala grew up in a family of educators. Her father was a school principal, and her mother was a teacher. They both encouraged Malala to pursue her passion for learning. As a bright and curious child, always struggling to be the best in her class, she excelled (杰出) in her studies. Malala’s life was not always easy: She lived in a region troubled by conflict and violence. A military group had taken control of her village, banning girls from attending school. But Malala was not willing to give up her dream of education. She began to speak out against the military group, writing a blog and sharing her thoughts and experiences with the world. With powerful and inspiring words, she quickly became a symbol of hope for girls around the world who were facing similar challenges. Malala’s bravery did not come without a cost. In 2012, she was shot by a gunman while on her way home from school. The attack was a cruel reminder of the dangers that girls face when they speak out for their rights, but it did not stop Malala. She continued to fight, even as she recovered from her injuries, and her message only grew stronger. Malala’s courage and determination have inspired millions of people around the world. She has become a global advocate (倡导者) for girls’ education, traveling the world and speaking out on the importance of education for all.

C New research suggests links between ultra-processed (超加工) foods — such as chips, many cereals and most packaged snacks at the grocery store — and changes in the way we learn, remember and feel. Many ultra-processed foods hit the brain rapidly when we eat them and have a strong effect on its reward system, which is involved in pleasure, motivation and learning. Those effects are similar to ones when people use nicotine, alcohol and other addictive drugs, said Ashley Gearhardt, a professor of psychology at the University of Michigan. “People have a very strong desire for ultra-processed foods and eat them compulsively and find they can’t stop eating them,” she said. The combination of high levels of both fat and carbs (碳水化合物) in many ultra-processed foods is likely why we are addicted to them. Foods in nature are often high in fat or carbs, but not both. Bananas are naturally high in sugar but you eat one and you’re good. Scientists were surprised to find that people who had been eating a high-fat, high-sugar snack also had changes in how their brains learned. In a study, four days of having a breakfast high in saturated (饱和的) fat and added sugar was linked to reductions in performance on some learning and memory tests, according to researchers in Australia. People who had a healthier breakfast didn’t have the performance changes. 28. What will probably happen if we eat too many ultra-processed foods? A. Our brains may be hit rapidly and we may get ill. B. We can never quit ultra-processed foods once we are addicted to it. C. We may find it difficult to keep English words and phrases in mind. D. We may become addicted to nicotine, alcohol and other addictive drugs. 29. What does the underlined word in paragraph 4 mean? A. Strongly. B. Extremely. C. Equally. D. Uncontrollably. 30. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? A. Foods high in fat or carbs are really addictive. B. The intake of ultra-processed foods has a negative effect on learning. C. People who have a healthier breakfast can perform better in a memory test. D. Drinking alcohol, though has a similar effect as eating chips, does less harm to our brains. 31. How does the writer develop the last paragraph? A. Giving examples. B. Listing figures. C. Making comparisons. D. Explaining cause and effect. D Nowadays, handwriting seems to become less necessary, for young children learn to tap and touch screens before they have even learned to pick up a pencil or tie their shoelaces. Most of our written communication is done through texting on mobile phones or typing on a keyboard. And voice recognition softwares are becoming more and more advanced — making even keyboards unnecessary! So, are handwriting skills important to your child? Actually, handwriting is an exercise in eye-hand coordination (协调), an important part of visual-motor (视觉运动) skills, which are connected with achievements in study. Scientists found that developing fine visual-motor skills in early childhood can lead to not only writing success, but better performance in reading and math in elementary school. It was also found that kids who fail to write neatly and efficiently are often accused of being lazy, and this may affect their behavior and self-worth. Moreover, a study showed that when a group of children were asked to come up with ideas for an article, the ones with better handwriting were more active and had quicker minds. In some ways, handwriting helps their brains’ development. The first attempts at writing can be challenging for pre-school children — whose fine motor skills are not yet fully developed. But some skills to prepare for handwriting are simple to build at home and in preschool. Parents should provide lots of opportunities for kids to copy and draw shapes and simple pictures in early childhood before letters are introduced. Let your child copy your shapes in sand, or with chalks on a board before trying to draw the shapes on their own. Encourage your child to spend less time on electronic devices and more time on activities to improve eye-hand coordination. Let’s face it — technology is certain to continue developing and more research is needed to find the best ways to teach handwriting to young children. But, there’s plenty of evidence that the handwriting practice can provide young children with a good start in developing skills needed for a healthy and successful journey in school. 32. According to Paragraph 1, handwriting is ________. A. easy to learn on a touch screen B. used less frequently (频繁的) now C. more difficult than typewriting D. totally replaced (取代) by softwares 33. How does the author explain the benefits of handwriting? A. By mentioning examples of the kids around him. B. By providing data (数据) about pupils with good grades. C. By giving some news reports on hand-writing. D. By presenting some research findings (研究发现) . 34. What does the author suggest parents do? A. Keep young children away from electronic devices. B. Teach pre-school children to write letters with chalks. C. Help children get ready for handwriting before school. D. Encourage children to face writing challenges bravely. 35. What can be the best title for the text? A. Does poor handwriting really mean being lazy? B. How can handwriting affect children’s self-confidence? C. Should homework be done through handwriting or typewriting? D. Should handwriting be taken seriously in children’s growth? 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。 Common Mistakes New Runners Make Running is a great way to get in shape and just about everyone can do it.

In addition to giving an animal a permanent (永久) home and a loving family, the owner will find the company of a pet brings more happiness than expected. For someone like Maria Luiza Valcazara, having a pet was very suitable. She was all alone after moving to a new apartment in Brazil, and her solitary (独居的) life made her feel lonely. So when she found a cute black puppy named Chips, she knew she had to take him home. Maria thought that Chips would be able to fill the emptiness that she had been experiencing from living all alone. Maria was right. Once she took the puppy home, they immediately bonded. However, as Maria had to work during the day, she was worried about leaving Chips home alone in her apartment. She was also worried that his crying would upset her neighbors. One night, when she returned home, she considered her fears were confirmed. There, outside her door, was a package with a folded note attached to it. Marin knew that she was in trouble. She hoped that she would not be evicted (驱逐) from her new apartment because of Chips. She loved Chips so much, and she was afraid that she might have to get rid of him because he made too much noise whenever she was away. Maria was scared and wondered who could have left it at the door because she had little contact with the people in the building. However, when she noticed the names on the folded note, she found that it wasn't addressed to her but to her dog, Chips, and that it was “written” by another dog named Corote. Maria opened the package first and found a few toys for pets. 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。 Curious, Maria opened the note and started reading it. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ With Chips following her, Maria knocked at her neighbor's door. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 渭南市三贤中学2024---2025学年下学期 高一英语期中试卷 （卷面总分150分 答题时间120 分钟） 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ABC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听力录音小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 What does the man advise the woman to do?

Sheila, aged 59, said she joined Facebook to see what her grandchildren are doing as her daughter daisy posts videos and photos of them online. It’s a much better way to see what they’re doing than waiting for letters and photos in the emails. Only 2~2 million users in the UK are under 17. But they not going far from their smartphones. Chloe, aged 15 even sleeps with her phone because she uses it as her alarm clock. Unlike her grandmother’s generation, Chloe’s age group is spending so much time on their phones at home that they are spending little time with their friends in real life. Sheila, on the other hand, contacts old friends from school she hasn’t heard from in 40 years on social media. It’s changed her social life completely.

Many ultra-processed foods hit the brain rapidly when we eat them and have a strong effect on its reward system, which is involved in pleasure, motivation and learning. Those effects are similar to ones when people use nicotine, alcohol and other addictive drugs, said Ashley Gearhardt, a professor of psychology at the University of Michigan. “People have a very strong desire for ultra-processed foods and eat them compulsively and find they can’t stop eating them,” she said. The combination of high levels of both fat and carbs (碳水化合物) in many ultra-processed foods is likely why we are addicted to them. Foods in nature are often high in fat or carbs, but not both. Bananas are naturally high in sugar but you eat one and you’re good. Scientists were surprised to find that people who had been eating a high-fat, high-sugar snack also had changes in how their brains learned. In a study, four days of having a breakfast high in saturated (饱和的) fat and added sugar was linked to reductions in performance on some learning and memory tests, according to researchers in Australia. People who had a healthier breakfast didn’t have the performance changes. 28. What will probably happen if we eat too many ultra-processed foods? A. Our brains may be hit rapidly and we may get ill. B. We can never quit ultra-processed foods once we are addicted to it. C. We may find it difficult to keep English words and phrases in mind. D. We may become addicted to nicotine, alcohol and other addictive drugs. 29. What does the underlined word in paragraph 4 mean? A. Strongly. B. Extremely. C. Equally. D. Uncontrollably. 30. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? A. Foods high in fat or carbs are really addictive. B. The intake of ultra-processed foods has a negative effect on learning. C. People who have a healthier breakfast can perform better in a memory test. D. Drinking alcohol, though has a similar effect as eating chips, does less harm to our brains. 31. How does the writer develop the last paragraph? A. Giving examples. B. Listing figures. C. Making comparisons. D. Explaining cause and effect. 【答案】28. C 29. D 30. B 31. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了新的研究表明，超加工食品与大脑的学习、记忆和感受方式的变化有关，会对其造成负面影响。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“New research suggests links between ultra-processed (超加工) foods — such as chips, many cereals and most packaged snacks at the grocery store — and changes in the way we learn, remember and feel. (新的研究表明，超加工食品——如薯片、许多谷物和杂货店里大多数包装零食——与我们学习、记忆和感受方式的变化有关)”可知，超加工食品会影响我们的学习和记忆能力。由此可知，如果我们吃太多的超加工食品，我们可能会发现很难记住英语单词和短语。故选C项。 【29题详解】 词句猜测题。根据画线词的上文“People have a very strong desire for ultra-processed foods (人们对超加工食品有着强烈的欲望)”和下文“find they can’t stop eating them (发现他们吃得停不下来)”可知，超加工食品很吸引人，人们应该是会不受控制地吃得停不下来，画线词意思与Uncontrollably“不受控制地”相近。故选D项。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“In a study, four days of having a breakfast high in saturated (饱和的) fat and added sugar was linked to reductions in performance on some learning and memory tests, according to researchers in Australia. (澳大利亚的研究人员在一项研究中发现，连续四天吃饱和脂肪和添加糖含量高的早餐，会导致一些学习和记忆测试的成绩下降)”可知，摄入超加工食品对学习有负面影响。故选B项。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“In a study, four days of having a breakfast high in saturated (饱和的) fat and added sugar was linked to reductions in performance on some learning and memory tests, according to researchers in Australia. People who had a healthier breakfast didn’t have the performance changes. (澳大利亚的研究人员在一项研究中发现，连续四天吃饱和脂肪和添加糖含量高的早餐，会导致一些学习和记忆测试的成绩下降。吃健康早餐的人没有表现上的变化)”可知，此处表明早餐时摄入超加工食品和健康饮食的两组人群的测试表现不同，作者是通过做比较的方式来组织该段的。故选C项。 D Nowadays, handwriting seems to become less necessary, for young children learn to tap and touch screens before they have even learned to pick up a pencil or tie their shoelaces. Most of our written communication is done through texting on mobile phones or typing on a keyboard. And voice recognition softwares are becoming more and more advanced — making even keyboards unnecessary! So, are handwriting skills important to your child? Actually, handwriting is an exercise in eye-hand coordination (协调), an important part of visual-motor (视觉运动) skills, which are connected with achievements in study. Scientists found that developing fine visual-motor skills in early childhood can lead to not only writing success, but better performance in reading and math in elementary school. It was also found that kids who fail to write neatly and efficiently are often accused of being lazy, and this may affect their behavior and self-worth. Moreover, a study showed that when a group of children were asked to come up with ideas for an article, the ones with better handwriting were more active and had quicker minds. In some ways, handwriting helps their brains’ development. The first attempts at writing can be challenging for pre-school children — whose fine motor skills are not yet fully developed. But some skills to prepare for handwriting are simple to build at home and in preschool. Parents should provide lots of opportunities for kids to copy and draw shapes and simple pictures in early childhood before letters are introduced. Let your child copy your shapes in sand, or with chalks on a board before trying to draw the shapes on their own. Encourage your child to spend less time on electronic devices and more time on activities to improve eye-hand coordination. Let’s face it — technology is certain to continue developing and more research is needed to find the best ways to teach handwriting to young children. But, there’s plenty of evidence that the handwriting practice can provide young children with a good start in developing skills needed for a healthy and successful journey in school. 32. According to Paragraph 1, handwriting is ________. A. easy to learn on a touch screen B. used less frequently (频繁的) now C. more difficult than typewriting D. totally replaced (取代) by softwares 33. How does the author explain the benefits of handwriting? A. By mentioning examples of the kids around him. B. By providing data (数据) about pupils with good grades. C. By giving some news reports on hand-writing. D. By presenting some research findings (研究发现) . 34. What does the author suggest parents do? A. Keep young children away from electronic devices. B. Teach pre-school children to write letters with chalks. C. Help children get ready for handwriting before school. D. Encourage children to face writing challenges bravely. 35. What can be the best title for the text? A. Does poor handwriting really mean being lazy? B. How can handwriting affect children’s self-confidence? C. Should homework be done through handwriting or typewriting? D. Should handwriting be taken seriously in children’s growth? 【答案】32. B 33. D 34. C 35. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了在数字化时代手写技能对孩子成长是否仍应被重视的问题。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Nowadays, handwriting seems to become less necessary, for young children learn to tap and touch screens before they have even learned to pick up a pencil or tie their shoelaces. (如今，手写似乎变得不那么必要了，因为孩子们在学会拿起铅笔或系鞋带之前就已经学会了点击和触摸屏幕。)”可知，手写现在使用频率较低。故选B。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Scientists found that developing fine visual-motor skills in early childhood can lead to not only writing success, but better performance in reading and math in elementary school. (科学家发现，在幼儿期发展精细的视觉运动技能不仅可以带来书写上的成功，还可以在小学阶段提高阅读和数学成绩。)”以及“Moreover, a study showed that when a group of children were asked to come up with ideas for an article, the ones with better handwriting were more active and had quicker minds. (此外，一项研究表明，当一群孩子被要求为一篇文章想出点子时，书写较好的孩子更活跃，思维更敏捷。)”可知，作者通过呈现一些研究发现来解释手写的好处。故选D。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“But some skills to prepare for handwriting are simple to build at home and in preschool. Parents should provide lots of opportunities for kids to copy and draw shapes and simple pictures in early childhood before letters are introduced. (但是，一些为手写做准备的技能在家里和幼儿园就可以很容易地培养。父母应该在孩子识字之前，为他们提供很多在幼儿时期复制和绘制形状和简单图片的机会。)”可知，作者建议父母帮助孩子在上学前为手写做好准备。故选C。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，特别是最后一段“But, there’s plenty of evidence that the handwriting practice can provide young children with a good start in developing skills needed for a healthy and successful journey in school. (但是，有充分的证据表明，手写练习可以为幼儿提供一个良好的开端，帮助他们发展在学校健康和成功旅程中所需的技能。)”可知，文章主要讨论了在孩子成长过程中是否应该重视手写技能的问题，因此D选项“Should handwriting be taken seriously in children’s growth? (在孩子成长过程中是否应该重视手写？)”是最合适的标题。故选D。 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。 Common Mistakes New Runners Make Running is a great way to get in shape and just about everyone can do it.

In addition to giving an animal a permanent (永久的) home and a loving family, the owner will find the company of a pet brings more happiness than expected. For someone like Maria Luiza Valcazara, having a pet was very suitable. She was all alone after moving to a new apartment in Brazil, and her solitary (独居的) life made her feel lonely. So when she found a cute black puppy named Chips, she knew she had to take him home. Maria thought that Chips would be able to fill the emptiness that she had been experiencing from living all alone. Maria was right. Once she took the puppy home, they immediately bonded. However, as Maria had to work during the day, she was worried about leaving Chips home alone in her apartment. She was also worried that his crying would upset her neighbors. One night, when she returned home, she considered her fears were confirmed. There, outside her door, was a package with a folded note attached to it. Marin knew that she was in trouble. She hoped that she would not be evicted (驱逐) from her new apartment because of Chips. She loved Chips so much, and she was afraid that she might have to get rid of him because he made too much noise whenever she was away. Maria was scared and wondered who could have left it at the door because she had little contact with the people in the building. However, when she noticed the names on the folded note, she found that it wasn't addressed to her but to her dog, Chips, and that it was “written” by another dog named Corote. Maria opened the package first and found a few toys for pets. 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。 Curious, Maria opened the note and started reading it. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ With Chips following her, Maria knocked at her neighbor's door. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Curious, Maria opened the note and started reading it. The note, written by her neighboring dog owner, Angela, said she had noticed Chips crying a lot when Maria was away. Angela, in Corote's voice, suggested they play together when Maria was not home. This way, Chips wouldn't feel lonely. Maria was deeply moved and felt relieved after reading the note. Instead of expressing discontent, her kind neighbor was really understanding and tried to offer support. Maria felt she needed to meet Angela and her dog. With Chips following her, Maria knocked at her neighbor's door. The door opened and Maria saw a woman, who must be Angela, smiling at her. Corote, Angela's dog, followed her and stared at Chips happily. The two dogs immediately hit it off. A pleasant atmosphere was created when Maria and Angela were chatting. In the process, Maria also got valuable advice from Angela on how to keep Chips company. Through their shared experiences and the joy their pets brought them, Maria and her neighbor formed a deep connection and their lives became very colorful and meaningful. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，短文叙述Maria刚搬到新公寓，感到孤独，于是领养了小狗Chips。但她担心白天上班时Chips独自在家会吵闹，影响邻居。然后她发现门口有个包裹，里面有给Chips的纸条和玩具，署名是另一只狗Corote。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“好奇的Maria打开纸条，开始读起来。”可知，第一段可描写纸条的内容以及Maria的感动以及想见一见Angela和她的狗。 ②由第二段首句内容“Chips跟在她后面，Maria亚敲了敲邻居的门。”可知，第二段可描写见面的情景以及获得了陪伴Chips的宝贵建议以及Maria的生活因此变得丰富多彩。 2.续写线索：看到信的内容——感动——想见一见Angela和她的狗——获得建议——生活丰富多彩 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①使感动：move /touch ②建议：suggest/recommend ③提供：offer /provide ④形成：form/shape 情绪类 ①宽慰的：relieved/ comforting ②快乐：joy/pleasure 【点睛】[高分句型1] Angela, in Corote's voice, suggested they play together when Maria was not home. (运用了when引导时间状语从句) [高分句型2] The door opened and Maria saw a woman, who must be Angela, smiling at her. Corote, Angela's dog, followed her and stared at Chips happily.
