Peter usually stays in a country for about two years. Then the company moves him again. His family always goes with him. The Robinsons love seeing the world. They have been to many interesting places. For example, in Egypt, they have seen the Pyramids, travelled on a boat on the Nile River, and visited the palaces and towers of ancient kings and queens.

Australia’s Great Barrier Reef is one of the most beautiful areas in the world, but it’s not easy to reach. However, people are still finding more and more about it. Let’s learn more about it. Johnny Gaskell, an Australian, was looking at the Google Maps when he found something unexpected: a big blue hole. Blue holes are natural holes. Then Gaskell took a boat to the place and he had a great finding. “What we found inside the blue hole was hard to believe. At around 15m to 20m deep, there were huge beautiful corals (珊瑚). Though the trip was a little dangerous, I loved it. The big blue hole is 15m to 20m deep. In it, there are some large and healthy coral colonies (群落).” Gaskell said. Research on the blue hole won’t stop. Gaskell said, “This blue hole could be even older than the famous Great Blue Hole in Belize. Its place is in one part of Great Barrier Reef. To get there, we had to travel for 10 hours.” Gaskell has found two other blue holes, 200 km away from the first one. He’s making preparations to finding the other ones. Corals are bleaching (褪色) because of the rising temperatures. Tourism also added even more stress. Half of the coral reef has disappeared (消失) in the past 27 years, and it seems not to slow down. So it is very necessary to take some useful actions to protect corals. 6. What did Gaskell think of his trip to the big blue hole? A. Dangerous but useful. B. Strange. C. Boring but easy. D. Meaningless. 7. Which paragraph gives Gaskell’s plan? A. Paragraph 2. B. Paragraph 3. C. Paragraph 4. D. Paragraph 5. 8. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. It is kind of easy to protect corals and sea animals. B. Our children may not see corals in the future C. The corals’ disappearing has nothing to do with climate change (气候变化） D. The government has already taken actions to protect corals .

D As more information comes out about 10-year-old Cindy Smith’s death (死亡), worries about amusement park safety (游乐场安全性) grow. Cindy is not the first child who died on an amusement park ride. 25 years ago, the mother of a 14-year-old girl waited to pick up her daughter outside Worlds of Fun. Laura Barry never saw her daughter Rosie alive again. “My heart goes out to the Smith family more than they can ever possibly know,” said Barry. She is one of the few people who truly know the hurt that family is feeling. In 1995, Rosie’s mom said that something went wrong on the Timber Wolf the night Rosie died. Police found no evidence (证据). Two men told the police that they saw Rosie standing before she fell out of the car. “I couldn’t believe that such a thing could happen still and again,” said Barry. She believes Rosie’s death should have been a wakeup call for amusement park safety. She finds that not much has changed in the past years. Amusement parks race to build bigger, taller, faster rides. In her opinion, amusement parks just try to bring in visitors and give them the idea that riding is good, safe and fun. She believes that parks should have put safety first. There is no exact number of amusement park deaths each year. It is quite low according to some websites. But Barry doesn’t accept that. “My daughter was the only person that had ever been killed at Worlds of Fun in all of the years, among all of the thousands and thousands of people that went there. The number doesn’t mean anything, you know, because when your child is the one, that’s one too many,” she said. 14. How did Barry feel when saying the words in Paragraph 5? A. Afraid. B. Angry. C. Hopeful. D. Interested. 15. What is the text mainly about? A. The story of the Smith family. B. The death of a 10-year-old girl. C. The safety of amusement parks. D. The future of amusement parks. 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。 These days there is little that can’t be done simply by turning on your computer and clicking (敲击) on the Internet button (按钮). ___16___ First there are the games.

Her older sister, Lexi, was one seat ahead, acting as if this was the best day ever. But for Nila, it was the worst. It was the last day of swimming lessons. Test Day. “If I pass my test, I can sign up for Junior Lifeguarding over the summer,” Nila heard Lexi telling her friend Jess. Nila hit the back of their seat with her foot. Lexi’s head popped up. “What are you doing?” “I ...,” Nila started. Maybe she could talk to Lexi about the test. After all, Lexi had passed Level 4 several summers ago. “I’m sorry. It’s just —” “Everything OK back there?” asked the bus driver. “Yep.” Lexi quickly turned to face the front. “I thought sisters should be there for each other,” Nila said in a low voice to the window. An hour later, Nila nervously held the edge (边缘) of the pool. She didn’t know if she could swim all the way across. But the coach blew the whistle (哨子). She had no choice but to push off. Lexi swam quickly. She’d passed Level 7! Junior Lifeguarding. Here I come, she thought. A kid from her class accidentally hit her, but she just smiled at him. She liked everyone right now. Nila, too — even though she’d been troublesome earlier. Where was she, anyway? After a minute, Lexi saw her sister crossing the pool. Nila was way behind the others, and Lexi could see why. For one thing, she lifted her whole head out of the water to breathe (呼吸), instead of turning it to the side. That was a waste of energy (精力). Even worse, she wasn’t swimming straight. As Nila neared the middle of the pool, she stopped. “Keep going,” Lexi called. “You can do it!” Nila threw one arm forward and dragged it back. Now the other arm. When she stopped to check her position, she felt discouraged. Only halfway across! Some kids in her class were already at the wall. The coach was talking to one of the kids, so he didn’t see her. Better keep going, she thought. But she was tired. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 Lexi kept her eyes on her sister’s slow progress. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Just then, Nila felt strong arms holding her from behind. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 临潭一中2024—2025学年第二学期期中英语试卷 高一 英语 阅读理解：（共两节。满分40） 第一节：（共15小题：每小题2分，满分30） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳答案。 A Mike Robinson is a fifteen-year-old American boy and his sister Clare is fourteen.

She believes Rosie’s death should have been a wakeup call for amusement park safety.

(随着10岁女孩辛迪・史密斯死亡的更多信息曝光，人们对游乐园安全性的担忧加剧)”以及文章讲到两起游乐场儿童死亡事故和巴里对游乐设施安全性的关注与担忧可知，本文是围绕游乐场安全这一主题展开的。故选C项。 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。 These days, there is little that can’t be done simply by turning on your computer and clicking (敲击) on the Internet button (按钮). ___16___ First there are the games.

(如今，只需打开电脑，点击互联网按钮，几乎没有什么事情是做不成的。)”和下文“First there are the games. Some game makers actually try to make them addicting, luring (引诱) teens and gamers into hours of play. (首先是游戏。一些游戏制造商实际上试图让他们上瘾，引诱青少年和游戏玩家玩几个小时。)”可知，本空应强调互联网的便利性带来的问题，即互联网成瘾。F选项“But with all that power right at our fingers, the Internet has become a sad addiction to many. (但是，随着我们指尖上掌握着如此强大的力量，互联网已经成为许多人的一个令人悲伤的瘾。)”能承上启下，符合题意。故选F。 【17题详解】 由上文“First there are the games. Some game makers actually try to make them addicting, luring (引诱) teens and gamers into hours of play.

(有些人认为，随着我们家里有了这么多信息，下一代会更聪明。)”可知，这里开始讲述人们对互联网影响的两种不同看法，一种是积极的，即下一代会更聪明。由下文“Some countries are reporting that computer addiction is a serious problem and are trying to find out just how to treat or prevent it. (一些国家报告说，电脑成瘾是一个严重的问题，并正在努力找出如何治疗或预防它。)”可知，这里开始讲述另一种看法，即互联网成瘾是一个严重的问题。因此，本空应介绍另一些人的消极的看法。C选项“Others worry that our attention time actually will be shortened. (其他人则担心我们的注意力时间实际上会缩短。)”能承上启下，符合题意，故选C。 【20题详解】 由下文“But just like any other addiction, there are some people that just aren’t able to drag themselves away.

Most people think of stress ____37____ a bad thing, but in reality most people need some of it. “A little stress can be ____38____(help) to high schoolers in so many ways. It makes them want to study much ____39____(hard). It helps push them,” says Mary Alvord, a psychologist(心理学家) in Maryland. Adolescence(青春期) is an important time ____40____(learn) to cope with stress because teens can then cope with it better in college. But too much stress will influence both the body ____41____ mind, Alvord says. In the short term it can cause anxiety(焦虑); over long periods of time, too much stress can cause heart problems. That’s bad for anyone, but it can be ____42____(especial) bad for high schoolers: “Colleges are complaining(抱怨) that more and more kids are not paying much attention to ____43____(they) studies, and they are dropping out and taking a long time to graduate. It’s not developmentally good for them to work so hard,” says Alvord. And since everyone has a different psychological capacity(能力) for stress, ____44____ is hard to know when a student is pushed to the point of _____45_____(influence) his or her health. 【答案】36. is seen 37. as 38. helpful 39. harder 40. to learn 41. and 42. especially 43. their 44. it 45. influencing 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章给读者介绍了压力的利弊，告诉我们应该学会如何应对压力。 【36题详解】 考查语态。句意：基本上来说，心理压力被认为是环境中的任何变化或压力。分析句子成分可知，主语为stress表示“压力”，所以谓语动词需要被动语态且要用第三人称单数的形式；文章开头是在陈述一个客观事实，用一般现在时。故填is seen。 【37题详解】 考查介词。句意：大多数人认为压力一件坏事。as意为“作为”，符合句意。故填as。 【38题详解】 考查形容词。句意：有一点压力可以在许多方面帮助高中生。空处前文有系动词be，故空处应填形容词做表语。help为动词，其名词形式为helpful表示“有益”、“有帮助的”。故填helpful。 【39题详解】 考查副词。句意：压力让他们学习更努力。空处前文有much，故空处应填副词hard的比较级。故填harder。 【40题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：青春期是学习应对压力的重要时期。修饰time应用不定式作后置定语，time to learn to cope with stress“学习应对压力的时期”。故填to learn。 【41题详解】 考查连词。句意：但是，压力太大会影响身心两方面。固定结构both… and意为“既……又”，用于并列文中body和mind，表示“身体和心灵”，符合文意和文章结构。故填and。 【42题详解】 考查副词。句意：但是对高中生来说尤其糟糕。根据后文形容词bad可知，空处应填副词用于修饰形容词。提示词especial为形容词，其副词形式为especially。故填especially。 【43题详解】 考查代词。句意：大学都在抱怨，说越来越多的学生都不把心思放他们的课业上了。根据空后名词studies可知，空处应填形容词性物主代词。提示词they的形容词性物主代词形式为their，符合文意。故填their。 【44题详解】 考查代词。句意：既然每个人对于压力都有不同的心理承受能力，那想了解多大压力才会影响到他们的健康就很难了。分析句子成分可知，前文since引导原因状语从句，后文有不定式to know when a student is pushed to the point of __10__ his or her death为真正的主语，故主句缺少形式主语it。故填it。 【45题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：既然每个人对于压力都有不同的心理承受能力，那想了解多大压力才会影响到他们的健康就很难了。根据空前介词of可知，空处须填所给词的动名词形式influencing作宾语。故填influencing。  写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节 （满分15分） 46. 假定你是李华,是某国际学校英文报的一名学生记者。新学期,新开始,你校学生会面向全校新生举办了迎新派对。请你写一篇新闻报道,刊登在校英文报上,内容包括:1.活动目的;2.活动信息:时间、地点和内容等;3.同学们的感受。 注意: 1.词数应为80-100左右2.可适当增加细节3.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 【答案】 On the afternoon of September 3, a party was held to welcome new students on the playground in our school, which made a deep impression on the new students.

Her older sister, Lexi, was one seat ahead, acting as if this was the best day ever. But for Nila, it was the worst. It was the last day of swimming lessons. Test Day. “If I pass my test, I can sign up for Junior Lifeguarding over the summer,” Nila heard Lexi telling her friend Jess. Nila hit the back of their seat with her foot. Lexi’s head popped up. “What are you doing?” “I ...,” Nila started. Maybe she could talk to Lexi about the test. After all, Lexi had passed Level 4 several summers ago. “I’m sorry. It’s just —” “Everything OK back there?” asked the bus driver. “Yep.” Lexi quickly turned to face the front. “I thought sisters should be there for each other,” Nila said in a low voice to the window. An hour later, Nila nervously held the edge (边缘) of the pool. She didn’t know if she could swim all the way across. But the coach blew the whistle (哨子). She had no choice but to push off. Lexi swam quickly. She’d passed Level 7! Junior Lifeguarding. Here I come, she thought. A kid from her class accidentally hit her, but she just smiled at him. She liked everyone right now. Nila, too — even though she’d been troublesome earlier. Where was she, anyway? After a minute, Lexi saw her sister crossing the pool. Nila was way behind the others, and Lexi could see why. For one thing, she lifted her whole head out of the water to breathe (呼吸), instead of turning it to the side. That was a waste of energy (精力). Even worse, she wasn’t swimming straight. As Nila neared the middle of the pool, she stopped. “Keep going,” Lexi called. “You can do it!” Nila threw one arm forward and dragged it back. Now the other arm. When she stopped to check her position, she felt discouraged. Only halfway across! Some kids in her class were already at the wall. The coach was talking to one of the kids, so he didn’t see her. Better keep going, she thought. But she was tired. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 Lexi kept her eyes on her sister’s slow progress. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Just then, Nila felt strong arms holding her from behind. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Lexi kept her eyes on her sister’s slow progress. Three-fourths of the way across, Nila stopped again. As Lexi watched, Nila’s head went underwater before it resurfaced. Uh-oh, thought Lexi. Her sister was in trouble, and she had to help. She started toward Nila. Nila got a mouthful of water and coughed. She felt as if she’d been swimming for hours. If only someone would see she was too tired to keep going. But nobody saw her. Just then, Nila felt strong arms holding her from behind. “Lie back,” her sister’s voice said. “I’ve got you.” As they dressed, Lexi told Nila next time they went to the pool she’d teach her the right way to breathe so she wouldn’t get so tired. “With a little more practice, I know you can pass Level 4,” she added. Nila cheered up and she thought it would be nice to have a strong swimmer by her side. “You’ll make a good lifeguard someday,” Nila said. Lexi smiled. “Really?” Nila nodded. “Yeah. And you’re already a good sister.” 【解析】 【导语】本文以情感发展为线索展开，讲述了 Nila 参加游泳测试，姐姐 Lexi 关注其进展的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“Lexi一直关注着她妹妹缓慢的进展。”可知，第一段可描写Lexi发现Nila在游泳过程中遇到困难，决定前去帮助她的过程。 ②由第二段首句内容“就在这时，Nila感觉到有力的双臂从后面抱住她。”可知，第二段可描写Lexi成功帮助Nila完成游泳，并在之后给予鼓励和指导，展现姐妹之间的深厚感情。 2.续写线索：Lexi关注Nila——Nila遇到困难——Lexi前去帮助——Lexi抱住Nila——Lexi鼓励Nila——Nila感谢Lexi 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①关注：keep her eyes on/pay attention to ②看到：see /spot ③知道：know/be informed of 情绪类 ①遇到困难：be in trouble/encounter difficulties ②高兴起来：cheer up/ brighten up 【点睛】[高分句型1].
