How many minutes of exercise may help young people remember better? A. 5. B. 15. C. 50. 19. Which method can help to improve students’ memory? A. Having a pre-study test. B. Studying in a fixed place. C. Taking exercise after studying. 20. What is the speaker mainly talking about? A. Ways to help remember more words. B. The importance of doing exercise. C. Things to do before studying. 【答案】17. C 18. B 19. A 20. C 【解析】 【原文】Many students think about how to best spend their time while studying. But what comes before studying can be important too — especially if you want to improve your memory of what you have learned. Doing exercise before you study may help you better remember what you learn. A study shows that a group of young people who did 15 minutes of training remembered more words. Some studies suggest the importance of different kinds of exercise. It seems that both long and slow exercise have better influences on memory. Location is also important for improving your learning. While it is good to have a desk or a special study area, some research suggests that changing where you study could help you remember more of what you’ve learnt. The reason is that our memories sometimes depend on things in our environment. For example, a book might remind you of something interesting while you are reading it. A third way you can improve your study is by taking a pre-study test. It is one of the best ways to make yourself remember new information. 第二部分 阅读（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） 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选项。 A Life in the mountains has appeal for a variety of reasons — you may enjoy the natural beauty or simply like the idea of hitting the hiking trails (路径). These are some options to live near the mountains. Boulder Located in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, Boulder is the ideal spot for people who want to live near the mountains without sacrificing good jobs. Technology, aerospace and higher education are major industries that lend to high salaries. Dozens of trails offer various hiking opportunities for all experience levels. Asheville Asheville, located in the Blue Ridge Mountains, is known for its active arts community and breathtaking views of the mountains. Whether they’re drawn to the access to the outdoors or to the handmade, personal touch of galleries and farm-to-table restaurants, plenty of people are choosing Asheville as their new hometown. Greenville A spot for beautiful views of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Greenville has easy access to trails with waterfalls and lake destinations. There are three state parks that offer hiking and camping, among other activities. Greenville residents spend about 21% of the area’s average household income on housing. Honolulu There are multiple hiking trails that show off the beauty of the Hawaiian islands, with plenty of lookout points to take in views of the city. To make your stay permanent, however, you should spend, as typical residents, 30% of the average household income on rent or home loans. Related Data: Boulder Asheville Greenville Honolulu Average Home Price $881,147 $358,383 $330,545 $581,658 Average Annual Salary $73,360 $47,470 $48,350 $61,860 Population 328,713 465,558 918,166 1,015,167 21. What do these places have in common? A. Easy hiking. B. Fresh food. C. Water activities. D. High salaries. 22. Which place is most attractive to art lovers? A. Boulder. B. Asheville. C. Greenville. D. Honolulu. 23. How much is the average housing cost in Greenville? A. $10,154. B. $14,505. C. $48,350. D. $330,545. 【答案】21. A 22. B 23. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了四个离山近且适合居住的地方。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一部分“Life in the mountains has appeal for a variety of reasons-you may enjoy the natural beauty or simply like the idea of hitting the hiking trails. (路径)(山区的生活有很多吸引力，你可能会喜欢自然美景，也可能只是喜欢徒步旅行的想法)”可知，这些地方都适合徒步。故选A。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据Asheville部分中的“Asheville, located in the Blue Ridge Mountains, is known for its active arts community and breathtaking views of the mountains. Whether they’re drawn to the access to the outdoors or to the handmade, personal touch of galleries and farm-to-table restaurants, plenty of people are choosing Asheville as their new hometown.(阿什维尔位于蓝岭山脉，以其活跃的艺术社区和令人惊叹的山景而闻名。无论他们是被户外活动所吸引，还是被画廊和农场到餐桌餐厅的手工制作和个人风格所吸引，很多人都选择阿什维尔作为他们的新家乡)”可知，阿什维尔对艺术爱好者最具吸引力。故选B。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据文中的Greenville部分“Greenville residents spend about 21% of the area’s average household income on housing.(格林维尔居民在住房上的支出约占该地区平均家庭收入的21%)”再结合表格中的当地年均收入为“$48,350”可知，这里平均住房消费为48,350 × 21%=10,153.5≈10,154（美元）。故选A。 B Billionaire Carl Icahn has stepped up his fight with McDonald’s over the welfare of pigs used in its food chain. Mr Icahn, whose no-nonsense reputation for shaking-up companies made him a Wall Street legend, has proposed Leslie Samuelrich and Maisie Ganzler stand for election at the 2022 annual meeting. He owns only 200 McDonald’s shares (股份), which gives him power to stir up for change, though it was reported that he was inspired by his daughter, an animal right activist who has worked for the Humane Society. McDonald’s says it has led the way in improving animal welfare standards. The battle centers on claims about pregnant pigs being kept in small crates (板条箱), a practice Mr Icahn said was “dirty”. He said McDonald’s had not lived up to a promise to stop the pork from pigs housed in crates for the pregnant, a practice targeted by animal lovers. He had asked all McDonald’s pork suppliers in the US to move to “crate-free pork”, along time-frames he had set. Activist investors such as Mr Icahn-one of a handful of feared investors said to have been the model for Gordon Gekko in the 1987 movie Wall Street-normally focus on companies they believe need restructuring. McDonald’s promised to stop ordering pork from suppliers putting pregnant pigs in crates back in 2012. The firm said it had “led the industry” since then and about a third of US pork suppliers have moved to group housing systems. It said it expected to source 85% to 90% of its pork from these suppliers by the year’s end. All of the pork it buys will come from these suppliers by 2024. McDonald’s said in a statement that it would continue to work with the industry to improve standards, but that some of Mr Icahn’s demands were unreasonable. It also noted that Mr Icahn was the majority owner of Viskase, which makes and supplies packaging for the pork and poultry industry. It added that he had “not publicly called” on Viskase to make similar commitments. 24. What enables Mr Icahn to fight with McDonald’s? A. His determination for shaking-up companies. B. His 200 McDonald’s shares. C. His animal-lover daughter. D. His proposal for two people. 25. The underlined word “no-nonsense” in paragraph 1 probably means ________. A. humorous and easy-going B. direct and serious C. careless and lazy D. unlucky and poor 26. What pork does Mr Icahn recommend? A. Pork from pigs raised by convention. B. Pork from pigs kept in small crates. C. Pork from crate-free pigs. D. Pork from pregnant pigs. 27. What has McDonald said? A. All its pork will meet Mr Icahn’s standard this year. B It has become No. 1 in the food industry since 2012. C. Mr Icahn should make the same demand for Viskase. D. It is unreasonable for Mr Icahn to be an owner of Viskase 【答案】24. B 25. B 26. C 27. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章讲述了亿万富翁Carl Icahn为了猪的福利与麦当劳斗争的故事，他建议麦当劳采购非圈养的生猪。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“He owns only 200 McDonald’s shares (股份), which gives him power to stir up for change, though it was reported that he was inspired by his daughter, an animal right activist who has worked for the Humane Society.(他只拥有200股麦当劳的股票，这给了他推动变革的权力，尽管据报道，他是受到女儿的启发，女儿是一名动物权利活动家，曾在人道协会工作)”可知，卡尔·伊坎拥有的200股麦当劳股票使他能够与麦当劳对抗。故选B。 【25题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段中“Mr Icahn, whose no-nonsense reputation for shaking-up companies made him a Wall Street legend, has proposed Leslie Samuelrich and Maisie Ganzler stand for election at the 2022 annual meeting.(卡尔·伊坎以no-nonsense的作风而闻名，这使他成为了华尔街的传奇人物。他提议莱斯利·塞缪尔里奇和梅西·甘兹勒参加2022年年会的选举)”可知，卡尔·伊坎因重组公司而闻名，成为华尔街传奇，这种行事风格应是雷厉风行的，也就是直接而严肃的，因此可以推断出“no-nonsense”的意思是“直接而严肃的”。故选B。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“He had asked all McDonald’s pork suppliers in the US to move to “crate-free pork”, along time-frames he had set.(他要求麦当劳在美国的所有猪肉供应商按照他设定的时间框架转向“无板条箱猪肉”)”可知，卡尔·伊坎推荐的是来自无板条箱猪的猪肉。故选C。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“It also noted that Mr Icahn was the majority owner of Viskase, which makes and supplies packaging for the pork and poultry industry. It added that he had “not publicly called” on Viskase to make similar commitments.(报告还指出，伊坎是Viskase的大股东，该公司为猪肉和家禽行业制造和供应包装材料。报告补充说，他没有“公开呼吁”Viskase做出类似的承诺)”可推知，麦当劳表示卡尔·伊坎应该对Viskase提出同样的要求。故选C。 C A computer programme can identify breast cancer from routine scans with greater accuracy than human experts, researchers said in what they hoped could prove a breakthrough in the fight against the global killer. Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers in women, with more than 2 million new diagnoses (诊断) last year alone. Regular screening is vital in detecting the earliest signs of the disease in patients who show no obvious symptoms. In Britain, women over 50 are advised to get a mammogram (X线照片) every three years, the results of which are analyzed by two independent experts. But interpreting the scans leaves room for error, and a small percentage of all mammograms either return a false positive-misdiagnosing a healthy’ patient as having cancer-or false negative-missing the disease as it spreads. Now researchers at Google Health have trained an artificial intelligence model to detect cancer in breast scans from thousands of women in Britain and the United States. The images had already been reviewed by doctors in real life but unlike in a clinical setting, the machine had no patient history to inform its diagnoses. The team found that their AI model could predict breast cancer from the scans with a greater accuracy than human expert doctors. Further, the AI showed a reduction in the percentage of cases where cancer was incorrectly identified — 5.7 percent in the US and 1.2 percent in Britain, respectively. It also reduced the percentage of missed diagnoses by 9.4 percent among US patients and by 2.7 percent in Britain. “The earlier you identify a breast cancer the better it is for the patient,” Dominic King, UK lead at Google Health, told AFP. “We think about this technology in a way that supports and enables an expert, or a patient finally, to get the best outcome from whatever diagnostics they’ve had.” 28. What do researchers hope the computer programme could prove to be in the fight against breast cancer? A. A new treatment method B. A breakthrough C. A replacement for human experts D. A way to reduce scan costs 29. What is the disadvantage of a mammogram? A. It must be programmed on a computer. B. Its results may be misread by doctors. C. It can’t find the earliest symptoms. D. It can only apply to women over 50. 30. What is known about AI in detecting breast cancer? A. It won’t face the patient to get information. B. It doesn’t need a mammogram to diagnose. C. It can’t predict more correctly than humans. D. It doesn’t give false positive or false negative. 31. What is Dominic King’s attitude to the AI model? A. Positive. B. Doubtful. C. Unconcerned. D. Conservative. 【答案】28. B 29. B 30. A 31. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了人工智能机器通过查看影像，识别乳腺癌的准确率比专家还高。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“A computer programme can identify breast cancer from routine scans with greater accuracy than human experts, researchers said in what they hoped could prove a breakthrough in the fight against the global killer.(研究人员称，一种计算机程序可以通过常规扫描识别出乳腺癌，其准确性比人类专家更高。他们希望这一发现能在与全球杀手的斗争中取得突破)”可知，研究人员希望该程序能成为对抗乳腺癌的突破。故选B。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“In Britain, women over 50 are advised to get a mammogram (X线照片) every three years, the results of which are analyzed by two independent experts. But interpreting the scans leaves room for error, and a small percentage of all mammograms either return a false positive-misdiagnosing a healthy’ patient as having cancer-or false negative-missing the disease as it spreads.(在英国，建议50岁以上的女性每三年做一次乳房X光检查，检查结果由两位独立专家进行分析。但对扫描结果的解读也会留下错误的空间，而且所有乳房X光检查中有一小部分要么是假阳性——将健康的病人误诊为癌症——要么是假阴性——在疾病扩散时漏诊)”可知，专家分析影像检查的结果时容易出错。故选B。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“The images had already been reviewed by doctors in real life but unlike in a clinical setting, the machine had no patient history to inform its diagnoses.(这些图像已经在现实生活中被医生检查过，但与临床环境不同的是，这台机器没有病人的病史来提供诊断信息)”可知，人工智能机器只是从扫描的影像中去发现癌症，但是不像在门诊看病，AI不会面对病人。故选A。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“We think about this technology in a way that supports and enables an expert, or a patient finally, to get the best outcome from whatever diagnostics they’ve had.(我们认为这项技术能够支持专家或患者最终从他们所做的任何诊断中获得最佳结果)”可知，Dominic King认为这个技术让专家和病人获得最好的结果，所以他的态度是积极的。故选A。 D The universe has been expanding ever since the Big Bang, about 14 billion years ago. But scientists long thought that gravity would strictly control this expansion. Perhaps the universe would keep swelling, but more slowly. Or someday gravity might cause the universe to collapse (坍塌) back in on itself. That prediction is called the “Big Crunch.” In 1998, though, those predictions were upended. Astronomers had been watching supernovae-the explosions of distant stars. Measuring the distances to those explosions let scientists calculate how fast the universe was expanding. And the results shocked them. The universe appeared to be flying apart faster than ever before. Even now, scientists can’t explain why. But they have called the phantom force pushing the universe apart “dark energy.” Dark energy can’t be measured directly. But scientists can evaluate how much there is based on how fast the universe is expanding. Dark energy makes up about 70 percent of all the contents of the universe. (Those contents include both matter and energy.) Another 25 percent the total stuff in the universe is an invisible substance called dark matter. The rest-a measly 5 percent-is normal matter. That’s the stuff that makes up all visible objects in the universe. The nature of dark energy is one of science’s greatest mysteries. Maybe it is a property of empty space. Maybe it’s some kind of energy fluid or field that fills space. Since we don’t know what dark energy is, it’s hard to predict how it will behave. Far in the future, perhaps dark energy will overcome the forces holding the universe together. The universe would then tear itself apart. Such runaway expansion is called the “Big Rip.” So dark energy is key not just for understanding the universe today. It’s also key to understanding the final fate of the universe. 32. What did scientists think of gravity before 1998? A. It caused the Big Bang. B. It might cause the Big Crunch. C. It sped up the universe expansion. D. It stopped the universe from swelling. 33. What does the underlined word “upended” in paragraph 3 best mean? A. Doubted. B. Confirmed. C. Mistaken. D. Overturned. 34. What is known about dark energy? A. It is either fluid or field. B. It is an invisible normal matter. C. It helps hold the universe together. D. It is the major contents of the universe. 35. What is a best title for the passage? A. Gravity-a different function. B. Dark energy and dark matter. C. Dark energy-a mysterious force. D. Big Bang, Big Crunch and Big Rip. 【答案】32. B 33. D 34. D 35. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述1998年科学家发现宇宙加速膨胀，推测暗能量存在，其占宇宙 70%，是影响宇宙命运的神秘力量。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Or someday gravity might cause the universe to collapse back in on itself. That prediction is called the ‘Big Crunch.’ (或者有一天引力可能会导致宇宙自身坍塌，这一预测被称为‘大挤压’。)”可知，1998年前科学家认为引力可能引发“大挤压”。故选B项。 【33题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段“And the results shocked them. The universe appeared to be flying apart faster than ever before. (结果令他们震惊。宇宙似乎比以往任何时候都飞得更快。)”可知，结果让科学家震惊，宇宙似乎比以前扩大得越来越快。所以，原来的预测被推翻了，故推测upended表“推翻”的意思，与overturn意思一致。故选D项。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Dark energy makes up about 70 percent of all the contents of the universe. (暗能量约占宇宙所有物质的 70%。)”可知，暗能量是宇宙的主要组成部分。故选D项。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章以1998年的观测为转折点，重点介绍暗能量的发现、占比及其未解之谜，最后强调其对宇宙命运的影响。例如，“The nature of dark energy is one of science’s greatest mysteries. (暗能量的本质是科学最大的谜团之一。)”直接点明主题。 所以C选项Dark energy-a mysterious force. (暗能量 —— 一种神秘的力量)准确覆盖全文核心。故选C项。 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。 Often times, doing things in a more sustainable way means doing them the old-fashioned way-for example, hanging clothes on a line instead of running the dryer. Making small changes to our routines can pay off big in various ways: helping the planet while saving you time, money, or both. ___36___ We hope you’ll be surprised by how big a difference you can make with relatively little effort. Run the dishwasher. ___37___ Running a full dishwasher uses an average of 60 percent less energy than handwashing. If you don’t have a dishwasher, fill the sink with suds (肥皂泡沫) once instead of running the tap the whole time. That way, you’ll use about a fifth of the water. ___38___ Barbershops in North America produce a lot of waste. Some of that includes haircuts, which have a surprising variety of uses, among them absorbing oil spills and recycling into insulation (绝缘). See if your barbershop belongs to Green Circle Barbershop, which reclaims and repurposes a million pounds of beauty waste every year. Measure yourself. It may seem smart to order multiple sizes when shopping for clothes online, planning to return those that don’t fit. But the unfortunate reality is that many returned articles-even unopened ones-are discarded, not resold. ___39___ Forget fast fashion. By that, we basically mean cheap, trendy clothing you’ll find at stores that get new inventory every month. Most of the clothing created by these brands ultimately ends up in landfills: ___40___ Thankfully, there’s a growing club of companies that prioritize sustainability, producing fewer but longer-lasting articles, often made with organic or eco-friendly fabrics. A. Cut your hair less frequently. B. Do something different with your hair. C. Go ahead, let the household device do all the work. D. The average American throws away 82 pounds of it each year. E. Newer machines also use far less water, saving you money on both bills. F. With that in mind we’ve had easy steps that will help you go the most distance. G. So, take your measurements and rely on size charts and customer reviews instead. 【答案】36. F 37. C 38. B 39. G 40.

The two sisters, aged ten and twelve, loved digging their hands into the warm soil, carefully placing seeds into the earth, and watching tiny green shoots push through the ground. This year, they had planted too many cucumber seedlings (幼苗). Rows upon rows of little green plants stretched across their garden, far more than their family could ever eat. “We should give them away,” Lina suggested. Jane agreed, and soon, the girls were knocking on neighbors’ doors, offering the extra seedlings with bright smiles. Most people were delighted to accept the seeds. But there was one neighbor who didn’t seem interested-Mr. Dawson. He lived alone in a small house at the end of the street, his front yard overgrown with weeds. The curtains were always drawn, and he rarely came outside. When Lina and Jane approached his door with a tray of seedlings, he barely opened it more than a crack. “We have extra cucumber plants,” Jane said cheerfully. “Would you like some?” Mr. Dawson’s tired eyes flicked over the offering. “No, thank you,” he muttered, and closed the door. The girls exchanged puzzled looks. “Maybe he doesn’t like cucumbers?” Lina whispered. Jane frowned. “Or maybe he just doesn’t like people.” Over the next few days, they noticed that while other neighbors’ gardens flourished with the seedlings they had given away, Mr. Dawson’s yard remained empty. The sight of his lonely house bothered them. One afternoon, while playing outside, they spotted him struggling to carry groceries up his porch steps. Without hesitation, they ran over. “Let us help!” Lina called. Mr. Dawson looked startled but didn’t refuse. As they carried his bags inside, they caught a glimpse of his home-dusty, quiet, and filled with old photographs. A framed picture of a smiling woman sat on the wall. “Who’s that?” Jane asked gently. Mr. Dawson hesitated. “My wife, Clara,” he said finally. “She loved planting marigolds (万寿菊).” A silence fell. The girls understood then why he had refused the seedlings-maybe it hurt too much to remember. The next morning, Lina and Jane returned to Mr. Dawson’s house. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ By summer’s end, Mr. Dawson’s yard had transformed. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文： The next morning, Lina and Jane returned to Mr. Dawson’s house. This time, they didn’t carry cucumber seedlings but small pots of golden marigolds. Knocking gently, they held their breath until the door creaked open. “We thought you might like these,” Jane said softly, holding out the flowers. ”Clara’s favorites.” Mr. Dawson’s rough hands trembled slightly as he took the pot. “She...she used to say marigolds were like sunshine you could hold,” he murmured. Then, to the girls’ surprise, he stepped aside and gestured toward his neglected garden. “Would you...help me plant them properly?” By summer’s end, Mr. Dawson’s yard had transformed. The once-neglected space now burst with golden marigolds swaying beside plump cucumbers. Neighbors often saw Mr. Dawson tending his garden, sometimes with Lina and Jane by his side, sharing stories and laughter. At the neighborhood harvest festival, he proudly displayed jars of homemade pickles made from his cucumbers. Watching him chat animatedly with other residents, the sisters realized their small act of kindness had grown into something beautiful-not just flowers and vegetables, but renewed connections and healing memories. 【解析】 【导语】本文以姐妹俩与邻居道森先生的故事为线索展开，主要讲述了莉娜和简在后院种植黄瓜幼苗过多，在赠送邻居时遭道森先生拒绝，后来发现他拒绝原因后，姐妹俩用特别的方式打动Mr. Dawson的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“第二天早上，莉娜和简回到了Mr. Dawson的家。”可知，第一段可描写姐妹俩带着万寿菊再次拜访Mr. Dawson，并提议帮他种植这些花，Mr. Dawson接受了她们的提议，并邀请她们一起种植。 ②由第二段首句内容“到了夏末，Mr. Dawson的院子已经焕然一新。”可知，第二段可描写Mr. Dawson的院子在姐妹俩的帮助下变得生机勃勃，充满了万寿菊和黄瓜，他也变得开朗起来，与邻居们有了更多的交流，姐妹俩意识到她们的小小善举带来了美好的变化。 2.续写线索：姐妹俩带万寿菊拜访Mr. Dawson——提出帮他种植——Mr. Dawson接受并邀请她们一起——院子变得生机勃勃——Mr. Dawson变得开朗——与邻居交流增多——姐妹俩意识到善举带来的美好变化 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①小声地说：murmur/whisper ②照料：tend/nurture/take care of ③展示：display/showcase/present 情绪类 ①温柔地说：say softly/speak gently/murmur tenderly ②令某人惊喜的是：to one’s surprise / to one’s astonishment / to one’s amazement 【点睛】【高分句型1】Knocking gently, they held their breath until the door creaked open.（运用了until引导的时间状语从句和现在分词做状语） 【高分句型2】Watching him chat animatedly with other residents, the sisters realized their small act of kindness had grown into something beautiful - not just flowers and vegetables, but renewed connections and healing memories.（运用了that引导的宾语从句，that被省略以及现在分词作状语） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024-2025学年度下学期高一年级期末考试 英语试卷 考试时间：120分钟 试卷满分：150分 注意事项： 1. 答题前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡规定的位置上。 2. 答选择题时必须使用2B铅笔，将答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑，如需改动，用橡皮擦擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。 3. 答非选择题时，必须使用0.5毫米黑色签字笔，将答案书写在答题卡规定的位置上。 4. 所有题目必须在答题卡上作答，在试题卷上答题无效。 5. 考试结束后，将试题卷和答题卡一并交回。 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?

Boulder Located in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, Boulder is the ideal spot for people who want to live near the mountains without sacrificing good jobs. Technology, aerospace and higher education are major industries that lend to high salaries. Dozens of trails offer various hiking opportunities for all experience levels. Asheville Asheville, located in the Blue Ridge Mountains, is known for its active arts community and breathtaking views of the mountains. Whether they’re drawn to the access to the outdoors or to the handmade, personal touch of galleries and farm-to-table restaurants, plenty of people are choosing Asheville as their new hometown. Greenville A spot for beautiful views of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Greenville has easy access to trails with waterfalls and lake destinations. There are three state parks that offer hiking and camping, among other activities. Greenville residents spend about 21% of the area’s average household income on housing. Honolulu There are multiple hiking trails that show off the beauty of the Hawaiian islands, with plenty of lookout points to take in views of the city. To make your stay permanent, however, you should spend, as typical residents, 30% of the average household income on rent or home loans.

B Billionaire Carl Icahn has stepped up his fight with McDonald’s over the welfare of pigs used in its food chain. Mr Icahn, whose no-nonsense reputation for shaking-up companies made him a Wall Street legend, has proposed Leslie Samuelrich and Maisie Ganzler stand for election at the 2022 annual meeting. He owns only 200 McDonald’s shares (股份), which gives him power to stir up for change, though it was reported that he was inspired by his daughter, an animal right activist who has worked for the Humane Society. McDonald’s says it has led the way in improving animal welfare standards. The battle centers on claims about pregnant pigs being kept in small crates (板条箱), a practice Mr Icahn said was “dirty”. He said McDonald’s had not lived up to a promise to stop the pork from pigs housed in crates for the pregnant, a practice targeted by animal lovers. He had asked all McDonald’s pork suppliers in the US to move to “crate-free pork”, along time-frames he had set. Activist investors such as Mr Icahn-one of a handful of feared investors said to have been the model for Gordon Gekko in the 1987 movie Wall Street-normally focus on companies they believe need restructuring. McDonald’s promised to stop ordering pork from suppliers putting pregnant pigs in crates back in 2012. The firm said it had “led the industry” since then and about a third of US pork suppliers have moved to group housing systems. It said it expected to source 85% to 90% of its pork from these suppliers by the year’s end. All of the pork it buys will come from these suppliers by 2024. McDonald’s said in a statement that it would continue to work with the industry to improve standards, but that some of Mr Icahn’s demands were unreasonable. It also noted that Mr Icahn was the majority owner of Viskase, which makes and supplies packaging for the pork and poultry industry. It added that he had “not publicly called” on Viskase to make similar commitments. 24. What enables Mr Icahn to fight with McDonald’s? A. His determination for shaking-up companies. B. His 200 McDonald’s shares. C. His animal-lover daughter. D. His proposal for two people. 25. The underlined word “no-nonsense” in paragraph 1 probably means ________. A. humorous and easy-going B. direct and serious C. careless and lazy D. unlucky and poor 26. What pork does Mr Icahn recommend? A. Pork from pigs raised by convention. B. Pork from pigs kept in small crates. C. Pork from crate-free pigs. D. Pork from pregnant pigs. 27. What has McDonald said? A. All its pork will meet Mr Icahn’s standard this year. B. It has become No. 1 in the food industry since 2012. C. Mr Icahn should make the same demand for Viskase. D. It is unreasonable for Mr Icahn to be an owner of Viskase C A computer programme can identify breast cancer from routine scans with greater accuracy than human experts, researchers said in what they hoped could prove a breakthrough in the fight against the global killer. Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers in women, with more than 2 million new diagnoses (诊断) last year alone. Regular screening is vital in detecting the earliest signs of the disease in patients who show no obvious symptoms. In Britain, women over 50 are advised to get a mammogram (X线照片) every three years, the results of which are analyzed by two independent experts. But interpreting the scans leaves room for error, and a small percentage of all mammograms either return a false positive-misdiagnosing a healthy’ patient as having cancer-or false negative-missing the disease as it spreads. Now researchers at Google Health have trained an artificial intelligence model to detect cancer in breast scans from thousands of women in Britain and the United States. The images had already been reviewed by doctors in real life but unlike in a clinical setting the machine had no patient history to inform its diagnoses. The team found that their AI model could predict breast cancer from the scans with a greater accuracy than human expert doctors. Further, the AI showed a reduction in the percentage of cases where cancer was incorrectly identified — 5.7 percent in the US and 1.2 percent in Britain, respectively. It also reduced the percentage of missed diagnoses by 9.4 percent among US patients and by 2.7 percent in Britain. “The earlier you identify a breast cancer the better it is for the patient,” Dominic King, UK lead at Google Health, told AFP. “We think about this technology in a way that supports and enables an expert, or a patient finally, to get the best outcome from whatever diagnostics they’ve had.” 28. What do researchers hope the computer programme could prove to be in the fight against breast cancer? A. A new treatment method B. A breakthrough C. A replacement for human experts D. A way to reduce scan costs 29. What is the disadvantage of a mammogram? A. It must be programmed on a computer. B. Its results may be misread by doctors. C. It can’t find the earliest symptoms. D. It can only apply to women over 50. 30. What is known about AI in detecting breast cancer? A. It won’t face the patient to get information. B. It doesn’t need a mammogram to diagnose. C. It can’t predict more correctly than humans. D. It doesn’t give false positive or false negative. 31. What is Dominic King’s attitude to the AI model? A. Positive. B. Doubtful. C. Unconcerned. D. Conservative. D The universe has been expanding ever since the Big Bang, about 14 billion years ago. But scientists long thought that gravity would strictly control this expansion. Perhaps the universe would keep swelling, but more slowly. Or someday gravity might cause the universe to collapse (坍塌) back in on itself. That prediction is called the “Big Crunch.” In 1998, though, those predictions were upended. Astronomers had been watching supernovae-the explosions of distant stars. Measuring the distances to those explosions let scientists calculate how fast the universe was expanding. And the results shocked them. The universe appeared to be flying apart faster than ever before. Even now, scientists can’t explain why. But they have called the phantom force pushing the universe apart “dark energy.” Dark energy can’t be measured directly. But scientists can evaluate how much there is based on how fast the universe is expanding. Dark energy makes up about 70 percent of all the contents of the universe. (Those contents include both matter and energy.) Another 25 percent the total stuff in the universe is an invisible substance called dark matter. The rest-a measly 5 percent-is normal matter. That’s the stuff that makes up all visible objects in the universe. The nature of dark energy is one of science’s greatest mysteries. Maybe it is a property of empty space. Maybe it’s some kind of energy fluid or field that fills space. Since we don’t know what dark energy is, it’s hard to predict how it will behave. Far in the future, perhaps dark energy will overcome the forces holding the universe together. The universe would then tear itself apart. Such runaway expansion is called the “Big Rip.” So dark energy is key not just for understanding the universe today. It’s also key to understanding the final fate of the universe. 32. What did scientists think of gravity before 1998? A. It caused the Big Bang. B. It might cause the Big Crunch. C. It sped up the universe expansion. D. It stopped the universe from swelling. 33. What does the underlined word “upended” in paragraph 3 best mean? A. Doubted. B. Confirmed. C. Mistaken. D. Overturned. 34. What is known about dark energy? A. It is either fluid or field. B. It is an invisible normal matter. C. It helps hold the universe together. D. It is the major contents of the universe. 35. What is a best title for the passage? A Gravity-a different function. B. Dark energy and dark matter. C. Dark energy-a mysterious force. D. Big Bang, Big Crunch and Big Rip. 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。 Often times, doing things in a more sustainable way means doing them the old-fashioned way-for example, hanging clothes on a line instead of running the dryer. Making small changes to our routines can pay off big in various ways: helping the planet while saving you time, money, or both. ___36___ We hope you’ll be surprised by how big a difference you can make with relatively little effort. Run the dishwasher. ___37___ Running a full dishwasher uses an average of 60 percent less energy than handwashing. If you don’t have a dishwasher, fill the sink with suds (肥皂泡沫) once instead of running the tap the whole time. That way, you’ll use about a fifth of the water. ___38___ Barbershops in North America produce a lot of waste. Some of that includes haircuts, which have a surprising variety of uses, among them absorbing oil spills and recycling into insulation (绝缘). See if your barbershop belongs to Green Circle Barbershop, which reclaims and repurposes a million pounds of beauty waste every year. Measure yourself. It may seem smart to order multiple sizes when shopping for clothes online, planning to return those that don’t fit. But the unfortunate reality is that many returned articles-even unopened ones-are discarded, not resold. ___39___ Forget fast fashion. By that, we basically mean cheap, trendy clothing you’ll find at stores that get new inventory every month. Most of the clothing created by these brands ultimately ends up in landfills: ___40___ Thankfully, there’s a growing club of companies that prioritize sustainability, producing fewer but longer-lasting articles, often made with organic or eco-friendly fabrics. A. Cut your hair less frequently. B. Do something different with your hair. C. Go ahead, let the household device do all the work. D. The average American throws away 82 pounds of it each year. E. Newer machines also use far less water, saving you money on both bills. F. With that in mind, we’ve had easy steps that will help you go the most distance. G. So, take your measurements and rely on size charts and customer reviews instead. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I was 16 and living with my parents in the deep country and had no neighbors, so I would always look forward to going to town to visit friends or go to the ___41___.

The two sisters, aged ten and twelve, loved digging their hands into the warm soil, carefully placing seeds into the earth, and watching tiny green shoots push through the ground. This year, they had planted too many cucumber seedlings (幼苗). Rows upon rows of little green plants stretched across their garden, far more than their family could ever eat. “We should give them away,” Lina suggested. Jane agreed, and soon, the girls were knocking on neighbors’ doors, offering the extra seedlings with bright smiles. Most people were delighted to accept the seeds. But there was one neighbor who didn’t seem interested-Mr. Dawson. He lived alone in a small house at the end of the street, his front yard overgrown with weeds. The curtains were always drawn, and he rarely came outside. When Lina and Jane approached his door with a tray of seedlings, he barely opened it more than a crack. “We have extra cucumber plants,” Jane said cheerfully. “Would you like some?” Mr. Dawson’s tired eyes flicked over the offering. “No, thank you,” he muttered, and closed the door. The girls exchanged puzzled looks. “Maybe he doesn’t like cucumbers?” Lina whispered. Jane frowned. “Or maybe he just doesn’t like people.” Over the next few days, they noticed that while other neighbors’ gardens flourished with the seedlings they had given away, Mr. Dawson’s yard remained empty. The sight of his lonely house bothered them. One afternoon, while playing outside, they spotted him struggling to carry groceries up his porch steps. Without hesitation, they ran over. “Let us help!” Lina called. Mr. Dawson looked startled but didn’t refuse. As they carried his bags inside, they caught a glimpse of his home-dusty, quiet, and filled with old photographs. A framed picture of a smiling woman sat on the wall. “Who’s that?” Jane asked gently. Mr. Dawson hesitated. “My wife, Clara,” he said finally. “She loved planting marigolds (万寿菊).” A silence fell. The girls understood then why he had refused the seedlings-maybe it hurt too much to remember. The next morning, Lina and Jane returned to Mr. Dawson’s house. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ By summer’s end, Mr. Dawson’s yard had transformed. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$2024至2025年度下学期高一期末考试第一节听下面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。例如现在你有5秒钟的时间看试卷上的例题。你将听到以下内容。excuse me, can you tell me how much the shirt is?
