Generally speaking, we gather information with our minds and bodies in different ways, such as seeing, hearing and doing. Then our brains deals with that information, organizing it and connecting it to things we are already aware .In other words, our brains will deal with the information in different ways. Sometimes we think in pictures or words. Sometimes we remember details or the big pictures. For different people, their learning styles are different too. One person may find it hard to make out the information in written forms but easy to know it immediately in an oral description. However, another person might find difficulties with the picture but the written message. Now scientists say there exist seven basic learning styles. ·Linguistic: These people learn through listening, reading, speaking and writing. ·Logical: These people learn with formula (公式) and principles (原理) ·Visual: These people learn by seeing what they are studying ·Musical: These people learn well when information is presented through music. ·Kinesthetic: These people learn from movement and physical activities. ·Intrapersonal: These people learn best by linking new information directly with their own experiences. ·Interpersonal: These people learn well by working with others. Therefore, if you know what learning style is your strength, you can balance your weakness, and get a more successful learning experience. 25. From the passage, we know that our brains __________. A. deal with the information in different ways B. send out the information in the same way C. organize information with our bodies D. gather information in the same way 26. A visual learner usually learns __________. A. through listening and speaking B. by seeing what he is learning C. from movement and physical activities D. by linking new information with his experience 27. A musical learner will find it easy to learn __________. A. with formulas and principles B. by working with others C. through reading and writing D. through music he hears 28. The purpose of the passage is to tell us to __________. A. learn more successfully B. gather more information C. understand more quickly D. exchange information better C Zheng He was one of China’s most famous explorers (探险家). Towards the end of the fourteenth century, his fleet (舰队) sailed to countries far away. Zheng He had over 300 ships, some of which were over 150 meters long, and could carry up to 1, 000 people. Besides, the ships carried gold, silver, silk, china and other treasures to give as gifts to the rulers of other countries. Some ships even had earth on board so that the sailors could grow their crops for food. On Zheng He’s first voyage, he set sail across the Indian Ocean. His fleet travelled many days far away from land. One day, they were hit by a storm. All the sailors thought the fleet was going to sink (下沉). Then a strange light appeared and after that, the storm passed. The strange light was probably electricity from the thunderstorm (雷雨), but the sailors in Zheng He’s fleet believed it was a sign of protection from the gods. With the belief, they were happy to follow Zheng He wherever he led them. Zheng He completed seven famous voyages between 1405 and 1433. He visited many countries in Asia and Africa. He brought back many gifts from the countries he visited, such as medicines, pearls (珍珠) and strange animals. The most famous of them were a giraffe and a zebra. In 28 years of travelling, Zheng He had managed to share the glory of China with many different countries. When he died in 1435, the stories of his travels made him one of China’s most famous sailors. 29. Some ships carried earth on board so that the sailors could________. A. use it as a gift B. use it for exchange C. plant trees for shade D. grow their own crops for food 30. The sailors were happy to follow Zheng He because of________. A. his leadership B. his fame C. the belief in gods’ protecting them D. a heavy storm 31. The most famous gifts Zheng He brought back were________. A. a monkey and a tiger B. a giraffe and a zebra C. gold and silver D. medicines and pearls 32. The best title of the passage can be___________. A. The Glory of China B. Zheng He’s Life C. Zheng He and His Voyages D. China’s Most Famous Explorers D People have been enjoying the benefits of cycling (骑自行车) in Amsterdam for years. It is a good city for cycling because it is flat and there are plenty of places for bicycle parking. Today some people call Amsterdam the “City of Bicycles” because of the convenience for bicycles there. In the 1960s, a group of cycling fans had an idea. They believed that it would be better for everybody if cars weren’t allowed in the city centre and only bicycles were. They were hopeful that this would help to save energy, reduce pollution and provide free public transport. The group painted hundreds of bicycles white and placed them in lots of neighbourhoods around Amsterdam for people to use. Then a problem came- thieves took all the bicycles within weeks! However, more than thirty years later, the“ white bike” is back in town — this time with a computer chip (芯片) to record its every move! To take a bicycle, you have to insert (插入) a special card. The new “white bike” is not actually white but is an unusual design with bright colours. The bikes are parked at special parking places and people who want to use them have to take them to another special parking place that has enough room. There is already less traffic in central Amsterdam, because both locals and tourists have been using the white bikes. Instead, thanks to the good ideas of lots of people, like the cycling fans in the 1960s, many people around the world have been enjoying city centre streets without cars many years. 33. Amsterdam is called the “City of Bicycles” because of____. A. the cycling fans there B. the appearance of bicycles C. the quality of bicycles D. the convenience for bicycles 34. In the 1960s, some cycling fans hoped bikes could . A. help to save energy B. be specially designed C. be placed anywhere D. be painted in different colours 35. What do people use if they want to take a “white bike” in the city? A. A white key. B. A special card. C. A special computer. D. A common chip. 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.

Recently, he had entered a new school, so he had no friends yet. One Monday morning, he was nearly late for school. The night before, his family attended his cousin’s wedding and reached home late, which was why he couldn’t get up on time as usual. At school, Asad could not pay attention to anything and wanted the bell to ring so that he could buy something to eat. After a few hours, when the bell rang, Asad quickly opened his schoolbag to find his money, but just then he remembered that he had left for school in a hurry in the morning and forgotten to take money. He looked under his books, hoping to find some money but there was nothing. Not knowing what to do, he walked out of the classroom and sat on a bench in front of the canteen. He saw a few of his classmates there, among whom was Fahad. He was one of the richest kids in his class, but he was a very arrogant boy who thought everyone else was a loser. But as Asad was new, he didn’t know much about Fahad. When he went towards Fahad and asked if he could borrow some money for his lunch, Fahad laughed and said, “I didn’t know you were a loser, maybe a beggar?” Fahad laughed out so loud that other kids also heard it and made fun of the situation. Asad didn’t answer Fahad, and slowly walked back towards an empty bench. When he reached the bench, he noticed something lying near it. It was a wallet. He picked it up and recognized it was Fahad’s, as he remembered Fahad showing it to his friends and telling them that his uncle had bought it for him from the UK. There was quite a lot of money inside for a kid. 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。 Paragraph 1: At first, Asad wanted to keep it a secret and punish Fahad. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Then Fahad said, “Why are you giving it back?” ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 衡阳县四中2025年上学期高二期中考试 英语试题卷 试卷满分150分，考试时间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 。 例: How much is the shirt?

Zoo visitors. C. Zoo keepers. 19. Why are night animals hard to be observed? A. Because they are sleeping during the day. B. Because they are not allowed to be watched. C.

To put night animals to sleep. 【答案】18. B 19. A 20. B 【解析】 【原文】Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the city Zoo’s newest show, World of Darkness. Here is a new world of night animals for you. Not too many years ago, zoo visitors were unable to watch the behavior of night animals because these animals were active during the night and generally slept during the day when the zoo was open to visitors. But in the nineteen-sixties, zookeepers at the Bronx Zoo in New York City found a way to settle this problem and develop the system that we now use in our show. The animals living places are lit with white light at night. Then the animals think the white light is daylight, so of course they go to sleep during the day. Their living places are lit with red light, which makes the animals think it is at night, so that they will be active.

Have you understood what you saw on the screen? Maybe everyone has their own learning style. Generally speaking, we gather information with our minds and bodies in different ways, such as seeing, hearing and doing. Then our brains deals with that information, organizing it and connecting it to things we are already aware .In other words, our brains will deal with the information in different ways. Sometimes we think in pictures or words. Sometimes we remember details or the big pictures. For different people, their learning styles are different too. One person may find it hard to make out the information in written forms but easy to know it immediately in an oral description. However, another person might find difficulties with the picture but the written message. Now scientists say there exist seven basic learning styles. ·Linguistic: These people learn through listening, reading, speaking and writing. ·Logical: These people learn with formula (公式) and principles (原理). ·Visual: These people learn by seeing what they are studying. ·Musical: These people learn well when information is presented through music. ·Kinesthetic: These people learn from movement and physical activities. ·Intrapersonal: These people learn best by linking new information directly with their own experiences. ·Interpersonal: These people learn well by working with others. Therefore, if you know what learning style is your strength, you can balance your weakness, and get a more successful learning experience. 25. From the passage, we know that our brains __________. A. deal with the information in different ways B. send out the information in the same way C. organize information with our bodies D. gather information in the same way 26.

His fleet travelled many days far away from land. One day, they were hit by a storm. All the sailors thought the fleet was going to sink (下沉). Then a strange light appeared and after that, the storm passed.

With the belief, they were happy to follow Zheng He wherever he led them. Zheng He completed seven famous voyages between 1405 and 1433. He visited many countries in Asia and Africa. He brought back many gifts from the countries he visited, such as medicines, pearls (珍珠) and strange animals. The most famous of them were a giraffe and a zebra.

It is a good city for cycling because it is flat and there are plenty of places for bicycle parking. Today some people call Amsterdam the “City of Bicycles” because of the convenience for bicycles there. In the 1960s, a group of cycling fans had an idea. They believed that it would be better for everybody if cars weren’t allowed in the city centre and only bicycles were. They were hopeful that this would help to save energy, reduce pollution and provide free public transport. The group painted hundreds of bicycles white and placed them in lots of neighbourhoods around Amsterdam for people to use. Then a problem came- thieves took all the bicycles within weeks! However, more than thirty years later, the“ white bike” is back in town — this time with a computer chip (芯片) to record its every move! To take a bicycle, you have to insert (插入) a special card. The new “white bike” is not actually white but is an unusual design with bright colours. The bikes are parked at special parking places and people who want to use them have to take them to another special parking place that has enough room. There is already less traffic in central Amsterdam, because both locals and tourists have been using the white bikes. Instead, thanks to the good ideas of lots of people, like the cycling fans in the 1960s, many people around the world have been enjoying city centre streets without cars many years. 33. Amsterdam is called the “City of Bicycles” because of____. A. the cycling fans there B. the appearance of bicycles C. the quality of bicycles D. the convenience for bicycles 34. In the 1960s, some cycling fans hoped bikes could . A. help to save energy B. be specially designed C. be placed anywhere D. be painted in different colours 35. What do people use if they want to take a “white bike” in the city? A. A white key. B. A special card. C. A special computer. D. A common chip. 【答案】33. D 34. A 35. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述阿姆斯特丹推广自行车出行的发展历程与创新举措。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Today some people call Amsterdam the “City of Bicycles” because of the convenience for bicycles there.(如今，有人将阿姆斯特丹称为“自行车之城”，这是因为那里骑自行车出行十分便捷)”可知，阿姆斯特丹被称为“自行车之城”，是因为自行车使用的便利性。故选D。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“In the 1960s, a group of cycling fans had an idea. They believed that it would be better for everybody if cars weren’t allowed in the city centre and only bicycles were. They were hopeful that this would help to save energy, reduce pollution and provide free public transport.(在20世纪60年代，一群自行车爱好者有了一个想法。他们认为，如果城市中心禁止汽车通行，只允许自行车通行，那对所有人来说都会更好。他们满怀希望地认为，这将有助于节约能源、减少污染，并提供免费的公共交通服务)”可知，在20世纪60年代，一些自行车爱好者曾希望自行车能够有助于节约能源。故选A。 【35题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“However, more than thirty years later, the“ white bike” is back in town — this time with a computer chip (芯片) to record its every move!

Recently, he had entered a new school, so he had no friends yet. One Monday morning, he was nearly late for school. The night before, his family attended his cousin’s wedding and reached home late, which was why he couldn’t get up on time as usual. At school, Asad could not pay attention to anything and wanted the bell to ring so that he could buy something to eat. After a few hours, when the bell rang, Asad quickly opened his schoolbag to find his money, but just then he remembered that he had left for school in a hurry in the morning and forgotten to take money. He looked under his books, hoping to find some money but there was nothing. Not knowing what to do, he walked out of the classroom and sat on a bench in front of the canteen. He saw a few of his classmates there, among whom was Fahad. He was one of the richest kids in his class, but he was a very arrogant boy who thought everyone else was a loser. But as Asad was new, he didn’t know much about Fahad. When he went towards Fahad and asked if he could borrow some money for his lunch, Fahad laughed and said, “I didn’t know you were a loser, maybe a beggar?” Fahad laughed out so loud that other kids also heard it and made fun of the situation. Asad didn’t answer Fahad, and slowly walked back towards an empty bench. When he reached the bench, he noticed something lying near it. It was a wallet. He picked it up and recognized it was Fahad’s, as he remembered Fahad showing it to his friends and telling them that his uncle had bought it for him from the UK. There was quite a lot of money inside for a kid. 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。 Paragraph 1: At first, Asad wanted to keep it a secret and punish Fahad. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Then Fahad said, “Why are you giving it back?” ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Paragraph 1: At first, Asad wanted to keep it a secret and punish Fahad. At least he could afford the lunch now. However, another voice popped up, urging him to give it back to Fahad, which made him feel torn. “I should never keep the wallet at the cost of my honesty, and Fahad would be extremely worried when he found he lost the wallet!” Asad convinced himself. Once he made up his mind, he accelerated his pace and caught Fahad up. “Fahad, it’s your wallet and I found it on the bench.” Taking over the wallet, Fahad stared into Asad’s eyes, surprised and puzzled. Paragraph 2: Then Fahad said, “Why are you giving it back?” He even looked into his wallet, obviously doubtful about Asad’s act. Asad explained calmly and patiently, “I had originally wanted to keep it secret as a punishment for your arrogance, but being honest matters more to me.” Hearing what Asad had said, Fahad felt his face burning with shame. He hugged Asad, thanking Asad for saving him from the trouble and apologizing to the classmates around for calling them losers. “You are my friend now. Would you like to join me for lunch?” Fahad turned to Asad. 【解析】 【导语】文章以人物为线索展开，讲述了Asad是一个诚实的男孩。一天，他没有吃早饭，打算下课后去买些吃的，却发现没带钱。他向Fahad借钱，却被对方嘲笑是乞丐，于是他默默走开了。突然，他在长凳处发现了一个钱包，正是Fahad的。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“起初，Asad想保密并惩罚Fahad。”可知，第一段可描写Asad的心理活动及是否将钱包还给Fahad。 ②由第二段首句内容“Fahad说：“你为什么还给我？””可知，第二段可描写Asad的解释及Fahad的感悟。 2.续写线索：Asad的心理活动——打算归还钱包——Fahad感到惊讶——Asad的解释——Fahad的感悟——两人成为朋友 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①加快：accelerate/speed up ②拥抱：hug/embrace ③给……取名：call/name 情绪类 ①担心的：worried/ainxious ②惊讶的：surprised/amazed 【点睛】[高分句型1]However, another voice popped up, urging him to give it back to Fahad, which made him feel torn. （由which引导的非限制性定语从句） [高分句型2]Hearing what Asad had said, Fahad felt his face burning with shame.（由what引导的宾语从句） 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。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。现在你有5秒钟的时间阅读第一小题的有关内容。Last year, there were four hundred students at the school.

Not too many years ago, zoo visitors were unable to watch the behavior of nine animals because these animals were active during the night and generally slept during the day when the zoo was open to visitors. But in the ninety sixties, zookeepers at the bronx zoo in new york city found a way to settle this problem and develop the system that we now use in our show. The animals living places are lit with White light at night. Then the animals think the White light is daylight, so of course they go asleep during the day. Their living places are lit with red light, which makes the animals think IT is at night, so that they will be active. On the other hand, the red light enables visitors to watch these animals going about the Normal activities at night. So just enjoy your visit to the world of darkness and enjoy watching these amazing animals of the night. And remember, next month is the opening of world down under a new show of australian animals. Are you looking forward to learning about australian animals in person? Well, you are lucky. Just please come and join us for that event.
