I would seriously recommend it to anyone wanting to learn a second language.” Maria Therera “I really like Babbel because it covers writing, listening and also speaking.

And for me, libraries were a place to get my favorite books. I got older and did the things most people did. Then one spring and summer my life changed. I lost my wife and retired. I realized that I had more time on my hands than I had things to do. So I took a volunteer job at an organization that sent food, clothes and perhaps some hope to unlucky members of our community. It was, and remains, an excellent organization, but I didn’t feel a connection between it and me. At the same time, I discovered that I was about to lose touch with an old, dear friend. Traditional methods of communication were out of the question. I had only general idea of what an email was, and I had no computer. As you might well guess, I had no warm feelings about computers. I had to choose：I could keep the attitude, or keep the friend. No-brainer. My little library in Camp Verde, Arizora was beginning a computer class designed for beginners to learn how to email. Having no computer, I had to drive to the library most days to do my emailing. Over a period of time I attracted the attention of Alice, a worker at the library. She felt the library would be the perfect place for me to volunteer. She had a point. I was already there a lot and I enjoyed the people I came in contact with. So I volunteered. Over the next couple of years I learned much more about computers in general and finally came to the point where I was actually able to help others with some computer problems. Imagine that! 4. What was the author’s childhood like? A. He often read books. B. He seldom went to libraries. C. He was born into a rich family. D. He liked doing things few children did. 5. What did the author think of his first volunteer job? A. He found it enjoyable. B. He learned a lot from it. C. He wasn’t interested in it. D. He didn’t think it was worth doing. 6. Why did the author decide to learn computer skills? A. To kill time after retirement. B. To use the library in a smarter way. C. To keep in touch with an old friend. D. To satisfy his interest in the Internet. 7. What does the underlined part in paragraph 4 mean? A. Alice’s idea was right. B. Alice’s idea was interesting. C. Alice insisted that she was right. D. Alice knew what I worried about. C When thinking about intelligence, we often place humans at the top of the ranks. However there is a species whose intelligence is far more advanced and perhaps more similar to humans than we’d thought—crows (乌鸦). In 2002, a crow named Betty wowed Oxford University scientists by picking up a piece of wire in her cage and bending it at one end using another object to shape the wire into a hooked tool. The hooked tool was then used to lift a small container containing a pig’s heart from inside a plastic tube for the bird to eat. Many years later, researchers found that bending tools was in fact, not that unusual for New Caledonian crows . The brains of New Caledonian crows have been studied more closely. Corvids (鸦科鸟类) have shown amazing learning abilities. Unlike humans, corvids do not have a neocortex—a brain structure that allows for advanced learning development. Instead, their brains are filled with neurons (神经元) which have enabled the birds to have similar mental abilities. According to a paper published earlier this year, New Caledonians are fastidious about the type of plant stem (茎) used to make their hooked tools and are able to figure out what the best plant stem is for them. They are able to look for that plant stem even when it is disguised (伪装) with leaves from a different plant species. Crows are also able to apply their abilities to advanced problem-solving. Through only learning individual steps of a challenge, a crow successfully solved it by arranging the steps in the correct order. This shows the bird’s ability to make judgments through context. Crows also seem to use their cleverness for fun, much like humans do, as young birds love to play. New Caledonian crows have emotions and memories and are learning skilled animals. They just might not be so different from us humans after all! 8. How did Betty surprise the scientists? A. She made a hooked tool. B. She escaped from her cage. C. She managed to lift a heavy container. D. She showed great interest in a pig’s heart. 9 What do we know about New Caledonian crows? A. They remain unknown to humans. B. They are quite different from other corvids. C. Their brain structure is similar to that of humans. D. Their learning abilities are decided by neurons. 10. What does the underlined word “fastidious” in paragraph 4 mean? A. 有营养的 B. 犹豫不决的 C. 挑剔的 D. 有求知欲的 11. What is the text mainly about? A. The intelligence of crows. B. The survival skills of crows. C. The development of the crow family. D. The emotions and memories of crows. D The British love their supermarkets. And there are more and more of them every year. But is this a good thing? Not necessarily. For a start, supermarkets have a negative effect on local communities. Money spent in independent small shops usually stays in the area. However, money spent at supermarkets is often put into the bank accounts of distant shareholders, some of whom don’t even pay any tax in the UK! Supermarkets are also bad for animal welfare. The UK has high standards in this field, but some supermarkets get their meat from abroad. And in many cases, this meat is produced under conditions that would be illegal in the UK. But once they’ve got the meat, supermarkets put a British flag on the product as the meat is packed there. Dishonest? Not exactly, but it isn’t entirely true either! Supermarkets have a poor environmental record too. Many of them don’t store food products themselves as storage space is expensive so they get food producers to do it for them. This means that supermarket trucks have to make more trips to collect supplies. In turn, this increases the amount of petrol and gas used, which leads to more pollution. In fact, the average item of food from a supermarket travels over 1,000 kilometers. Supermarkets also use a lot of plastic packaging, which isn’t good for the environment either. So, what can be done to help the small shops? Not much really. Supermarkets have a lot of power. Many political parties receive money from supermarkets and supermarkets often use their money to influence decisions. For example, just before the millennium (the year 2000), one supermarket gave the government 12 million to help build the Millennium Dome in London. Later, plans to tax supermarket car parks were dropped. Supermarkets are good news for shoppers looking for a bargain, but they’re certainly bad for local businesses, animals and the environment! 12. Why are supermarkets in the UK bad for local communities? A. They push out local shareholders. B. They enjoy better tax policies. C. They take money out of communities. D. They squeeze out independent small shops. 13. What is the problem with the meat at supermarkets? A. It is often priced dishonestly. B. It may be packed under poor conditions. C. It is sometimes produced illegally in the UK. D. It may be from low-standard animal welfare countries. 14. How do supermarkets affect the environment? A. They cause great food waste. B. They use many fuel-inefficient trucks. C. They occupy much land as storage space. D. They cause pollution through long-distance food transport. 15. What does the author think of political parties in the UK? A. They are power-hungry. B. They are money-driven. C. They are progressive. D. They are stubborn. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Let’s face it: Nobody really likes doing chores（日常事务） around the house.But at a certain age, our kids are old enough to start lending a hand with the housework.___16___ But what exactly are some of the benefits that young children and teenagers get from doing chores around the home？ ___17___ For the little ones, walking across the room to pick up toys from the floor and put them into the toy box helps develop their motor skills.Sorting toys into groups of colors will also help develop their sensory skills.

He was also a strong-minded boy who didn't give up easily. One day when he was thirteen years old, he asked some friends to climb a mountain with him. The boys agreed and they even decided to camp at the top of the mountain. Then after they got ready, they set off. It was a beautiful day and the boys started climbing the mountain happily after they got to the foot of it. The mountain was very tall and it was tiring for the young boys to climb it, but everyone was passionate about the activity and no one complained. When it got dark, they finally reached the top and they all shouted happily. Then Jim started counting. To his shock, there was one missing. “Where is Mike?” he asked. All the boys looked around and they didn't see Mike around. They got concerned. “Mike, Mike…” they started shouting. But there was no response. Worrying that Mike might be in danger, the boys knew they must return to find him. However after climbing the mountain for hours, they were all tired, so Jim asked the other boys to camp there and then he went down the mountain to find Mike alone. Jim left the boys and started going down the mountain with a flashlight. Though tired, hungry and cold, he still didn't give up because of worrying about his friend. But things got even worse when his flashlight suddenly stopped working, Jim almost became desperate. Out of despair, he started calling his friend’s name. To his joy, finally, he got a weak response. Mike was just nearby. Jim felt his way in the darkness and walked toward his friend. Luckily the moon got out of the cloud and Jim could finally see again. He found his friend who had been trapped in a hole for hours. Jim managed to pull Mike up from the hole, and Mike was finally safe. However, Jim was so tired that he fell and rolled down a slope and lost consciousness. 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。 When Jim finally woke up, he found himself in hospital. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Looking at those worried faces of his parents and friends, Jim made a decision. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 高一英语试卷 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，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。 1．What gift did the man send to Alice last year?

(它过去是，现在仍然是一个很棒的组织，但我感觉不到我和它之间的联系。我离开了。)”可知，作者对第一份志愿工作不感兴趣，故选C。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“At the same time, I discovered that I was about to lose touch with an old, dear friend. Traditional methods of communication were out of the question. I had only a vague (模糊的) idea of what an email was, and I had no computer. As you might well guess, I had no warm feelings about computers. I had to choose: I could keep the attitude, or keep the friend. No-brainer. (与此同时，我发现自己即将与一位相识已久且关系亲密的朋友失去联系。传统的交流方式根本行不通。我对电子邮件是什么只有一个模糊的概念，而且我没有电脑。正如你很可能猜到的那样，我对电脑没有什么好感。我必须做出选择：我可以坚持自己的态度，或者留住这位朋友。这根本不用多想。)”可知，作者学电脑技能是为了和老朋友保持联系，故选C。 【7题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第四段“She felt the library would be the perfect place for me to volunteer.

However there is a species whose intelligence is far more advanced and perhaps more similar to humans than we’d thought—crows (乌鸦). In 2002, a crow named Betty wowed Oxford University scientists by picking up a piece of wire in her cage and bending it at one end using another object to shape the wire into a hooked tool. The hooked tool was then used to lift a small container containing a pig’s heart from inside a plastic tube for the bird to eat. Many years later, researchers found that bending tools was in fact, not that unusual for New Caledonian crows . The brains of New Caledonian crows have been studied more closely. Corvids (鸦科鸟类) have shown amazing learning abilities. Unlike humans, corvids do not have a neocortex—a brain structure that allows for advanced learning development. Instead, their brains are filled with neurons (神经元) which have enabled the birds to have similar mental abilities. According to a paper published earlier this year, New Caledonians are fastidious about the type of plant stem (茎) used to make their hooked tools and are able to figure out what the best plant stem is for them. They are able to look for that plant stem even when it is disguised (伪装) with leaves from a different plant species. Crows are also able to apply their abilities to advanced problem-solving. Through only learning individual steps of a challenge, a crow successfully solved it by arranging the steps in the correct order. This shows the bird’s ability to make judgments through context. Crows also seem to use their cleverness for fun, much like humans do, as young birds love to play. New Caledonian crows have emotions and memories and are learning skilled animals. They just might not be so different from us humans after all! 8. How did Betty surprise the scientists? A. She made a hooked tool. B She escaped from her cage. C. She managed to lift a heavy container. D. She showed great interest in a pig’s heart. 9. What do we know about New Caledonian crows? A. They remain unknown to humans. B. They are quite different from other corvids. C. Their brain structure is similar to that of humans. D. Their learning abilities are decided by neurons. 10. What does the underlined word “fastidious” in paragraph 4 mean? A. 有营养的 B. 犹豫不决的 C. 挑剔的 D. 有求知欲的 11. What is the text mainly about? A. The intelligence of crows. B. The survival skills of crows. C. The development of the crow family. D. The emotions and memories of crows. 【答案】8. A 9. D 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了研究发现乌鸦可能有与人类相似的智力。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段关键句“In 2002, a crow named Betty wowed Oxford University scientists by picking up a piece of wire in her cage and bending it at one end using another object to shape the wire into a hooked tool. (2002年，一只名叫贝蒂的乌鸦在笼子里捡起一根铁丝，并用另一个物体将其一端弯曲成钩状工具，这让牛津大学的科学家们惊叹不已)”可知，贝蒂用一根铁丝做了一个钩状工具，这让牛津大学的科学家们惊叹不已。由此可知，贝蒂做了一个钩状工具，让科学家们感到惊讶。故选A项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段关键句“Corvids (鸦科鸟类) have shown amazing learning abilities. Unlike humans, corvids do not have a neocortex—a brain structure that allows for advanced learning development. Instead, their brains are filled with neurons (神经元) which have enabled the birds to have similar mental abilities. (鸦科鸟类表现出了惊人的学习能力。与人类不同，鸦科鸟类没有新皮质——一种允许高级学习发展的大脑结构。相反，它们的大脑充满了神经元，使这种鸟类具有类似的智力)”可知，鸦科鸟类没有新皮质，而是利用神经元进行学习的。由此可知，新喀里多尼亚乌鸦的学习能力是由神经元决定的。故选D项。 【10题详解】 词义猜测题。根据画线单词句中“…are able to figure out what the best plant stem is for them. They are able to look for that plant stem even when it is disguised ( 伪装 ) with leaves from a different plant species. (……能够找出最适合它们的植物茎。它们能够找到那个植物的茎，即使它被另一种植物的叶子所伪装)”可知，鸦科鸟类会找出最适合他们的植物茎去制作钩状工具，而不是随意选择。由此可知，它们对用来制作钩状工具的植物茎的类型很挑剔，“fastidious”意为“挑剔的”。故选C项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第一段内容“When thinking about intelligence, we often place humans at the top of the ranks. However there is a species whose intelligence is far more advanced and perhaps more similar to humans than we’d thought—crows (乌鸦). (在思考智力时，我们经常把人类放在首位。然而，有一种物种的智力比我们想象的要先进得多，可能与人类更相似——乌鸦)”可知，本文主要介绍了研究发现，乌鸦可能有与人类相似的智力。由此可知，本文主要讲述了乌鸦的智力。故选A项。 D The British love their supermarkets. And there are more and more of them every year. But is this a good thing? Not necessarily. For a start, supermarkets have a negative effect on local communities. Money spent in independent small shops usually stays in the area. However, money spent at supermarkets is often put into the bank accounts of distant shareholders, some of whom don’t even pay any tax in the UK! Supermarkets are also bad for animal welfare. The UK has high standards in this field, but some supermarkets get their meat from abroad. And in many cases, this meat is produced under conditions that would be illegal in the UK. But once they’ve got the meat, supermarkets put a British flag on the product as the meat is packed there. Dishonest? Not exactly, but it isn’t entirely true either! Supermarkets have a poor environmental record too. Many of them don’t store food products themselves as storage space is expensive, so they get food producers to do it for them. This means that supermarket trucks have to make more trips to collect supplies. In turn, this increases the amount of petrol and gas used, which leads to more pollution. In fact, the average item of food from a supermarket travels over 1,000 kilometers. Supermarkets also use a lot of plastic packaging, which isn’t good for the environment either. So, what can be done to help the small shops? Not much really. Supermarkets have a lot of power. Many political parties receive money from supermarkets and supermarkets often use their money to influence decisions. For example, just before the millennium (the year 2000), one supermarket gave the government 12 million to help build the Millennium Dome in London. Later, plans to tax supermarket car parks were dropped. Supermarkets are good news for shoppers looking for a bargain, but they’re certainly bad for local businesses, animals and the environment! 12. Why are supermarkets in the UK bad for local communities? A. They push out local shareholders. B. They enjoy better tax policies. C. They take money out of communities. D. They squeeze out independent small shops. 13. What is the problem with the meat at supermarkets? A. It is often priced dishonestly. B. It may be packed under poor conditions. C. It is sometimes produced illegally in the UK. D. It may be from low-standard animal welfare countries. 14. How do supermarkets affect the environment? A. They cause great food waste. B. They use many fuel-inefficient trucks. C. They occupy much land as storage space. D. They cause pollution through long-distance food transport. 15. What does the author think of political parties in the UK? A. They are power-hungry. B. They are money-driven. C. They are progressive. D. They are stubborn. 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. D 15. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了英国社区超市对当地企业、动物和环境造成的不良影响。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段关键句“However, money spent at supermarkets is often put into the bank accounts of distant shareholders, some of whom don’t even pay any tax in the UK! (然而，在超市消费的钱通常会存入远方股东的银行账户，其中一些人甚至在英国不纳税！)”可知，在超市消费的钱通常会存入远方股东的银行账户，带出社区，这是不利的地方。由此可知，英国的超市对当地社区不利，因为他们把钱带出了社区。故选C项。 13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段关键句“Supermarkets are also bad for animal welfare. The UK has high standards in this field, but some supermarkets get their meat from abroad. And in many cases, this meat is produced under conditions that would be illegal in the UK. (超市也不利于动物福利。英国在这方面有很高的标准，但一些超市从国外采购肉类。在许多情况下，这种肉在英国的条件下生产是不合法的)”可知，一些超市从国外采购肉类，这种肉并不符合英国对动物福利的高标准，由此可知，超市里的肉的问题是它可能来自低标准的动物福利国家。故选D项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段关键句“This means that supermarket trucks have to make more trips to collect supplies. In turn, this increases the amount of petrol and gas used, which leads to more pollution. (这意味着超市的卡车必须进行更多的行程来收集物资。反过来，这会增加汽油和天然气的使用量，从而导致更多的污染)”可知，长途食品运输增加汽油和天然气的使用量，从而导致更多的污染，由此可知，超市对环境的影响是它们通过长途食品运输造成污染。故选D项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段关键句“Supermarkets have a lot of power. Many political parties receive money from supermarkets and supermarkets often use their money to influence decisions. (超市有很大的力量。许多政党从超市获得资金，超市经常用他们的钱来影响决策)”可知，作者认为政党从超市获得资金，超市经常用他们的钱来影响决策。由此可知，作者认为英国的政党是受是金钱驱动的。故选B项。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Let’s face it: Nobody really likes doing chores（日常事务） around the house.But at a certain age, our kids are old enough to start lending a hand with the housework.___16___ But what exactly are some of the benefits that young children and teenagers get from doing chores around the home？ ___17___ For the little ones, walking across the room to pick up toys from the floor and put them into the toy box helps develop their motor skills.Sorting toys into groups of colors will also help develop their sensory skills.

He was also a strong-minded boy who didn't give up easily. One day when he was thirteen years old, he asked some friends to climb a mountain with him. The boys agreed and they even decided to camp at the top of the mountain. Then after they got ready, they set off. It was a beautiful day and the boys started climbing the mountain happily after they got to the foot of it. The mountain was very tall and it was tiring for the young boys to climb it, but everyone was passionate about the activity and no one complained. When it got dark, they finally reached the top and they all shouted happily. Then Jim started counting. To his shock, there was one missing. “Where is Mike?” he asked.
