Running, for example, put huge pressure on his broken legs, so it was important that his prosthetics(假肢)fitted perfectly, or pain and soreness could possibly make him give up. Then came the cycle, where Monger decided to ride a pushbike rather than a handbike. It meant the former racing driver had to learn the basics over again.(作为一名双截肢者，Monger 面临的准备工作比大多数人更具挑战性。例如，跑步时会对他受伤的腿部造成巨 大的压力，因此他的假肢必须完美贴合，否则疼痛和酸痛可能会让他放弃。接下 来是自行车项目，Monger决定骑普通自行车而不是手摇自行车。这意味着这位 曾经的赛车手不得不重新学习基础知识。)”可知，Monger 的训练难是因为他的 假肢让他跑步和骑自行车很困难，故选 D。 26．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“After his record-breaking achievement, Monger said he has set his sights firmly on the Los Angeles Paralympics in 2028, where he hopes to compete for Great Britain in the para-triathlon. Whatever he does next, though, being a role model and providing support to others will remain Monger’s main goal.(在打破纪录后，Monger 表示，他已经将目光坚定地投向了 2028年洛杉矶残奥会，他希望届时能代表英国参加残奥铁人三项比赛。无论他 接下来做什么，成为榜样并向他人提供支持仍将是蒙格的主要目标。)”可知， Monger将继续追求自己的梦想，同时帮助他人，故选 C。 27．推理判断题。根据文章第二段“In October last year, Monger broke the world record for the fastest double amputee(被截肢者)to complete an IRONMAN at the World Championship, which is considered as one of the hardest endurance(耐 力)events in the world.( 去年 10月，Monger 在世界锦标赛上打破了最快完成 IRONMAN比赛的截肢者世界纪录，而这项赛事被认为是世界上最具挑战性的耐 3 力项目之一。)”可知，Monger 在失去双腿后依然坚持训练并打破世界纪录，因 此他是意志力坚强的；且根据文章最后一段“Whatever he does next, though, being a role model and providing support to others will remain Monger’s main goal.(无论 他接下来做什么，成为榜样并向他人提供支持仍将是蒙格的主要目标。)”可知， 他想要成为榜样并为他人提供支持，因此他的行为是激励他人的。故选 A。 C篇 28-31 CDAB 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了研究发现气候变化在导致两栖动物数 量减少，分析了两栖动物数量减少会带来的影响。 28. 推理判断题。根据第一段“Everyone knows this: Slowly turn up the heat on a frog in a pot of water, and the frog won’t hop out. Unaware of the slight increase in heat, it will stay put until — well, until it dies. When it comes to the effect of rising global temperatures on amphibians (两栖动物), the frog-boiling fable is more than just a metaphor (隐喻).(每个人都知道这一点：在一锅水里慢慢地给青蛙加热，青 蛙不会跳出来。没有意识到热量的轻微增加，它会一直呆在那里，直到——嗯， 直到它死去。当谈到全球气温上升对两栖动物的影响时，煮青蛙的寓言不仅仅是 一个比喻)”可知，文章通过分享故事引入。故选 C。 29. 细节理解题。根据第二段“Between 2004 and 2022, rising temperatures became the primary reason why more than 100 amphibian species were slipping toward extinction.(2004年至 2022年间，气温上升成为 100多种两栖动物濒临灭绝的主 要原因)”可知，根据这项新研究，导致两栖动物数量减少的主要原因是温度的升 高。故选 D。 30. 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段 “Less attention is paid to frogs and other amphibians compared to more well-known groups like birds. But losing amphibians would be disastrous because they often act as a key link in the food web of ecosystems, wolfing insects down and, in turn, being eaten by larger predators (捕食 者).“Without those amphibians to fill that role, we will see the breakdown of this food web,” said Neam, who works for an Austin-based environmental group.(与鸟类等更 知名的群体相比，青蛙和其他两栖动物受到的关注较少。但是失去两栖动物将是 灾难性的，因为它们通常是生态系统食物网的关键环节，它们吞噬昆虫，反过来 又被更大的捕食者吃掉。“没有这些两栖动物来填补这个角色，我们将看到这个 食物网的崩溃，”在奥斯汀一家环境组织工作的尼姆说)”可知，如果两栖动物的 数量减少，食物链将被破坏。故选 A。 31. 推理判断题。根据““It’s not all bad news,” said Jennifer Luedtke, an amphibian group leader with the International Union for Conservation of Nature. “But we really must build on this improvement and significantly increase investment in amphibian conservation.”(“也不全是坏消息，”国际自然保护联盟两栖动物小组负责人珍妮 弗·吕德克说。“但我们真的必须在这一改善的基础上，大幅增加对两栖动物保护 的投资。”)”可知，吕德克对两栖动物的未来充满希望。故选 B。 4 D篇 32-35 DBCA 【导语】这是一篇说明文，主要介绍了研究者 Chanda 和他的团队运用结构色原 理创造了一种生态友好的新型涂料。这种涂料无需人工合成色素，模仿自然界光 反射的原理而形成鲜亮的色彩，同时具备不吸收热量的优点，可以让人们在日益 变暖的环境下享受多彩，健康、清凉的生活。 32．推理判断题。根据第二段“Structural colors are created not from traditional pigmentation but from the arrangement of colorless materials to reflect light in certain ways, like how rainbows are made after it rains. Think about the most beautiful colors you’ve ever seen — forest green, wine red or crystal blue, some of which, however, are nearly impossible to recreate artificially.(结构色彩不是通过传 统的色素沉着创造出来的，而是通过无色材料的排列以特定的方式反射光线，就 像雨后彩虹的形成一样。想想你见过的最美丽的颜色——森林绿、酒红或水晶蓝， 然而，其中一些几乎是不可能人工重现的)”以及第三段“Think about those cherries that redden your mouth after eating them or when your jeans turned green from sitting in wet grass. These are pigments.(想想那些吃了樱桃后你的嘴会变红，或者 你的牛仔裤因为坐在潮湿的草地上而变绿。这些是颜料。)”可知，D选项的葡萄 与文章中的樱桃及草相似，含有色素，是非结构色，故选 D。 33．词句猜测题。根据第三段中的“We are polluting our nature by using this kind of paint. So one of the major motivations for us is to create colors based on non-toxic materials.(我们使用这种油漆正在污染我们的自然。因此，我们的主要动机之一 是创造基于无毒材料的颜色)”可知，使用此类涂料会污染自然环境，是有害的， 划线单词的含义是“有害的”。故选 B。 34．推理判断题。根据第四段“Beyond the beautiful colors and safety that structure can provide, Chanda also found that unlike pigments, structural paint does not absorb heat but reflects light back.(除了结构所能提供的美丽色彩和安全性之外， Chanda 还发现，与颜料不同，结构涂料不吸收热量，而是将光反射回去)”和“This means this eco-friendly paint could help communities keep cool in an increasingly warming climate.(这意味着这种环保涂料可以帮助社区在日益变暖的气候中保持 凉爽)”可知，新研发的这种涂料的优势在于它模仿自然界的结构色，无需吸收热 5 量就能反射光线创造出鲜明的颜色，而且是基于非毒性材料制成的。因此，选项 C“Vivid, eco-friendly and cooling.(鲜艳、环保且具有降温效果)”最能全面概括这种 新涂料的优点。故选 C。 35．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据第一段中的“A team of researchers in Florida may have just created the world’s coolest paint ever.(佛罗里达州的一组研究 人员可能刚刚创造了世界上最酷的油漆)”和末段的“I hope this paint could be the future to a healthier, cooler environment.(我希望这种涂料能成为未来更健康、更 凉爽的环境)”可知，研究者 Chanda 和他的团队运用结构色原理创造了一种生态 友好的新型涂料，使用结构色能帮助人们享受更凉爽和健康的生活，因此主旨是 A选项“The paint of structural color could help people live cooler and healthier.(结构 色涂料可以帮助人们生活得更凉爽、更健康。)”。故选 A。 七选五 36-40 ECDGA 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，文章指出学生需培养批判性思维，提问是方式之一， 介绍了提问好处、步骤及自主提问重要性。 36．根据上文“One way to develop students’ critical thinking is to be creative about the questions they ask.(培养学生批判性思维的一种方法是创造性地提出问题。)” 以及下文“For example, they help students be better language learners.(例如，提问 活动帮助学生成为更好的语言学习者。)”可知，提问活动帮助学生成为更好的语 言学习者，有助于培养批判性思维，可知空处应是总述提问活动对学生有很多好 处，引出下文举例。E 项“Question-asking activities are beneficial for students in many ways.(提问活动在很多方面对学生有益。)”符合语境，故选 E。 37．根据下文“And when you believe in yourself, you can have more interaction, which might lead to critical thinking.(当你相信自己的时候，你可以有更多的互动， 这可能会导致批判性思维。)”可知，下文说的是自信的人有更多的互动，这可能 会导致批判性思维，空处应是说明提问和自信之间的关系，起到承上启下的作用。 C项“Additionally, people who ask questions are very confident.(此外，问问题的人非 常自信。)”符合语境，故选 C。 38．根据下文“Firstly, create questions about information in the text you’re reading. Secondly, create questions about what the information in the text has to do with 6 your own life. Finally, you create questions about abstract ideas—ideas that have come up in the questions about yourself.(首先，针对你所阅读文本中的信息提出问 题。其次，就文本中的信息与你自身生活的关联提出问题。最后，针对抽象概念 提出问题——这些概念源自你针对自身情况所提出的问题中。)”可知，下文详细 说明了阅读新文本时的三个步骤，可知空处应是引出关于阅读新文本时提出问题 的三个步骤。D项“You can develop questions in three steps when you read a new text.(当你阅读一篇新文章时，你可以分三步提出问题。)”符合语境，故选 D。 39．根据上文“Secondly, create questions about what the information in the text has to do with your own life. Finally, you create questions about abstract ideas — ideas that have come up in the questions about yourself.

Best, Li Hua 第二节：读后续写 One possible version: With my mother’s words rolling in my head, I decided to do something. After lunch, I approached May who was sharpening her pencil and went for broke. I invited her to come to my house after school. "We could walk home together, if you’d like. Maybe watch the Nickelodeon Channel?" I offered. I’d be lying if I didn’t admit that I was somewhat calmed by the idea that I’d be in my home, under the watchful eye of my parents, where little could go wrong. Still, I was proud that I had extended the invitation. Unexpectedly, May smiled and agreed to go to my house after school with me. I don’t remember what we watched on television, or what my mother prepared for our after-school snack. But I do know that May Jordan has never done bad things again and has been kind to everyone around her. And we became pretty good friends. After spending countless afternoons at my house, I realized that, yes, underneath the tall girl’s armor was an insecure fifth grader who wanted nothing more than to be accepted.

Text 2 历史剧 M: Have you watched that new period drama on Channel 8? 13 W: Yes. The costumes are so detailed and beautiful. I’m most impressed by them. M: The plot is full of twists and turns. The acting of the actors is also excellent. They really bring the story to life. Text 3 工厂倒闭的原因 W: I heard Deep Furniture Factory closed. Maybe it was due to poor management or a drop in product demand. M: The real reason is that they didn’t upgrade their production equipment. Thus, the production efficiency was low. Eventually, they lost many customers and had no choice but to close. Text 4 逛杂货店 W: Excuse me, I’m planning to make a cake at home. I need some eggs and flour. Where can I find them? M: Eggs are on the left side of the dairy section, and flour is on the right side of the baking section. W: Thanks. Text 5 天气 W: How was your business trip to Seattle? M: Not as good as I expected. The weather forecast showed sunny and cloudy days before I went there. However, it rained throughout my stay there. I was put to considerable inconvenience when going out for meetings. Text 6 新秘书 W:⑥Are you pleased with your new secretary Ada? M: It’s rather early to say yet. W:⑥How long has she been with you? A week? M:⑥Only three days. W: Three days is indeed a short time. But what’s your impression of her? M:⑦She is eager to learn. She asks a lot of questions about the work procedures, which shows she’s trying to adapt quickly to her new job.

I can’t seem to get anything done. M: I can relate. It can be tough to get motivated sometimes, but there are some things you can try to help you get back on track. W: Can you be more specific? M: ⑪First, you can set small, achievable goals. For example, instead of thinking about cleaning the whole house, start with just one room. W: That makes sense. M: Another thing is to create a schedule. You can make a daily to-do list and set specific time for each task. W: I guess having a routine could help. But what if I still don’t feel like doing it? M: You can give yourself rewards. ⑫If you finish a task, you can go for a short walk, enjoy a meal, or watch your favorite show. W: Great! ⑫I love watching TV, so I’ll definitely use that as a reward for myself. Thanks for the advice! I feel a little more hopeful now. Text 9 终身学习 (第 13题为总结题) W: ⑭I’ve been considering taking an online course in graphic design. It’s not expensive, but I’m still hesitant. What do you think about continuing education as an adult? M: That’s awesome! I’m a firm advocate of lifelong learning. It keeps your brain sharp and your skills relevant. W: I can see that. ⑭But I wonder if it’s worth the effort. I mean, I already have a full-time job. M: I get it, but you can think about it this way: The world is changing so fast. What we learned in school might be outdated. W: That makes sense. So you’re into continuous learning? M: Absolutely! ⑮Last year, I learned calligraphy. It was challenging, but it opened up many opportunities for self-expression. W: That’s impressive.⑯Did you find it hard to stay motivated? M: Sometimes, yeah. But I treated it like a relaxing hobby rather than a chore.⑯Plus, I joined an online calligraphy community where people shared tips. W: Great approach. Learning doesn’t always have to be formal education, right? M: Exactly! It could be anything—reading books, watching documentaries, or even participating in outdoor sports like biking. It might lead to a new career path or just be a fun creative outlet. Either way, you’re growing. W: Alright, I’m going to sign up for that course tonight. Text 10 笑声博物馆 W: ⑰A new museum of laughter in Croatia is helping people deal with the 15 negativity of modern life. ⑰Visitors to the HaHaHouse in Zagreb, the capital of Croatia, walk into a little cloud of white smoke when they step inside. Its purpose is to blow away their worries before they climb into a “giant washing machine”. Then they move down a twisting slide into a space filled with little white balls where their trip to a happier place starts. ⑱Forty-three-year-old Andrea Golubic is the museum’s creator. Golubic said she got the idea during the pandemic. At that time, many people were feeling down, so she wanted to heal people with laughter. ⑱Golubic said a picture of herself when she was seven inspired her. “I was constantly joking as a kid,” she added. ⑲The museum has eight interactive zones or areas. One has rubber chickens singing cheerfully. They sing songs like ABBA’s “Dancing Queen”. There is a room where people wrestle in large clothes. ⑲There is also some serious history of humor from ancient to modern times told through theaters, films or the Internet. ⑳Singer Zorica Bucic said the museum was just right for this era. “Entering here is like entering childhood, being relieved of all problems,” she said. Bucic added that if people could come to the museum often, they wouldn’t need to visit a psychologist. 高一年级英语试卷 第 页 共 8页1 合肥市普通高中六校联盟 2024-2025 学年第二学期期末联考 高一年级英语试卷 （考试时间：120 分钟 满分：150 分） 命题学校：合肥五中 命题教师：方孝春 审题教师：孙昔君 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。 1.

In a second, the teenager was facing a very different future. But Monger, who is now 25, refused to be defeated. In October last year, Monger broke the world record for the fastest double amputee(被截肢者)to complete an IRONMAN at the World Championship, which is considered as one of the hardest endurance(耐力)events in the world. The athlete, who also works as a racing expert, took on the challenge with the goal of raising money for a non-profit organization which aims to fight global hunger and improve living conditions. It’s perhaps obvious, when you consider the distances, that this event is not something you can simply walk into unprepared. For Monger, this was the result of a full year of training that taught him to deal with the difficult situation. With the help of expert trainers that become almost part of his close family, Monger trained nearly every day to get his body and mind in the best possible condition. Being a double amputee, Monger faced a far more challenging preparation than most others. Running, for example, put huge pressure on his broken legs, so it was important that his prosthetics(假肢)fitted perfectly, or pain and soreness could possibly make him give up. Then came the cycle, where Monger decided to ride a pushbike rather than a handbike. It meant the former racing driver had to learn the basics over again. After his record-breaking achievement, Monger said he has set his sights firmly on the Los Angeles Paralympics in 2028, where he hopes to compete for Great Britain in the para-triathlon. Whatever he does next, though, being a role model and providing support to others will remain Monger’s main goal. 24．What’s Monger’s purpose in joining in the IRONMAN World Championship? A．To collect contributions for a good cause. B．To prove his ability to drive race cars. C．To prepare for the Paralympics. D．To test his new prosthetic legs. 25．Why was Monger’s training especially difficult? A．His preparations fell short. B．He had to train alone without any support. C．He had never done endurance sports before. D．His prosthetic legs made running and cycling harder. 26．What can be expected of Monger in the future? A．He may leave the sports field completely. B．He will follow the footsteps of his role models. C．He will hold on to his dreams while helping others. D．He hopes to coach those sharing the same experience. 27．Which words can best describe Monger? A．Tough-minded and inspiring. B．Kind-hearted and creative. C．Lucky and generous. D．Independent and skilled. C Everyone knows this: Slowly turn up the heat on a frog in a pot of water, and the frog won’t jump out. Unaware of the slight increase in heat, it will stay put until — well, until it dies. When it comes to the effect of rising global temperatures on amphibians (两栖动物), the frog-boiling fable is more than just a metaphor (隐 喻). Climate change is becoming one of the biggest threats to frogs and other amphibians, according to a major study published Wednesday in the journal Nature. Between 2004 and 2022, rising temperatures became the primary reason why more than 100 amphibian species were slipping toward extinction. 高一年级英语试卷 第 页 共 8页4 The spread of disease among frogs and the destruction of their habitats have long been recognized as reasons why many amphibians are decreasing. But this new study establishes climate change as a major risk for amphibians around the world, too. The soft-skinned animals lack the fur and feathers to help adjust their temperature in this hotter and more drought-stricken world. Less attention is paid to frogs and other amphibians compared to more well-known groups like birds. But losing amphibians would be disastrous because they often act as a key link in the food web of ecosystems, wolfing insects down and, in turn, being eaten by larger predators (捕食者).“Without those amphibians to fill that role, we will see the breakdown of this food web, ” said Neam, who works for an Austin-based environmental group. Luckily, habitat protection and other conservation measures have been taken to help recover more than five dozen amphibians from Costa Rica to Malaysia. “ It ’ s not all bad news, ” said Jennifer Luedtke, an amphibian group leader of the International Union for Conservation of Nature. “But we really must build on this improvement and significantly increase investment in amphibian conservation.” 28. How is the topic introduced? A. By listing data. B. By explaining ideas. C. By sharing a story. D. By raising a question. 29. What is the main reason for the decrease of amphibians according to the new study? A. The spread of disease. B. The loss of habitats. C. The lack of feathers. D. The rise of temperature. 30. What will happen if the number of amphibians decreases? A. The food chain will be destroyed. B. Wolves will depend more on insects. C. Predators will be the key role of the web. D. The ecosystem will become more diverse. 31. How does Luedtke feel about the future of amphibians? A. Worried. B. Hopeful. C. Uncertain. D. Curious D A team of researchers in Florida may have just created the world’s coolest paint ever. Chanda, a researcher in the University of Central Florida, and his team have created a way to imitate nature’s ability to reflect light and create beautifully vivid color without taking in any heat like traditional pigments (色素) do. They focus on exploring structural color (结构色) and how people could use it to live cooler in a rapidly warming world. Structural colors are created not from traditional pigmentation but from the arrangement of colorless materials to reflect light in certain ways, like how rainbows are made after it rains. Think about the most beautiful colors you’ve ever seen — forest green, wine red or crystal blue, some of which, however, are nearly impossible to recreate artificially(人造地 ). That’s because these beautiful colors are not achieved through pigments — they’re all in the structure, like the green of peacocks’ feathers. Think about those cherries that redden your mouth after eating them or when your jeans turned green from sitting in wet grass. These are pigments. To create these colors, synthetic (合成的) materials like heavy metals are used to create vivid paints. Chanda stressed, “A deep blue needs cobalt; a deep red needs cadmium. They are toxic. We are polluting our nature by using this kind of paint. So one of the major motivations for us is to create colors based on non-toxic materials.” Beyond the beautiful colors and safety that structure can provide, Chanda also found that unlike pigments, structural paint does not take in heat but reflects light back. That’s why people are advised to wear lighter colors in hotter days and why many buildings are painted white. This means this eco-friendly paint could help communities keep cool in an increasingly warming climate. 高一年级英语试卷 第 页 共 8页5 “Nature has followed the path to create harmony among our surroundings,” Chanda said. “We want to be colorful but our color production is not really supported or inspired by nature. I hope this paint could be the future to a healthier, cooler environment.” 32．Which of the following colors doesn’t belong to structural colors? A．The green of peacocks’ feathers. B．The orange of bright rainbows. C．The blue of butterfly wings. D．The purple of ripe grapes. 33．What does the underlined word “toxic” in the third paragraph probably mean? A．Neutral. B．Harmful. C．Attractive. D．Useless. 34．Which of the following best describes the advantages of the newly-created paint? A．Traditional, healthy and cooling. B．Colorless, healthy and artificial. C．Vivid, eco-friendly and cooling. D．Vivid, man-made and eco-friendly. 35．What’s the main idea of the text? A．The paint of structural color could help people live cooler and healthier. B．Traditional approaches of color production remain to be improved. C．Human beings should respect the harmony of our surroundings. D．Many attractive colors couldn’t be recreated artificially. 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。 It’s highly expected that students need to develop their critical thinking (批判思维)skills. In other words, students need to learn how to collect information, make judgments about the information and apply it to a new context. One way to develop students’ critical thinking is to be creative about the questions they ask. 36 For example, they help students be better language learners. Often, questions are the first point of contact. Even if the questions are not good enough, they are going to direct the level of your conversation. 37 And when you believe in yourself, you can have more interaction, which might lead to critical thinking. The usual question-asking pattern starts with specific questions and then moves to abstract(抽象的 ) questions. 38 Firstly, create questions about information in the text you’re reading. Secondly, create questions about what the information in the text has to do with your own life. Finally, you create questions about abstract ideas—ideas that have come up in the questions about yourself. During the process, you’ve practiced creative ways to ask questions. 39 However, when you are told which questions to answer, you are less likely to be creative about the questions you ask. 40 Try making a list of questions that go from concrete to abstract, like the steps given above. A．So, practice developing your own questions. B．So, respond to the questions related to your own life. C．Additionally, people who ask questions are very confident. D．You can develop questions in three steps when you read a new text. E．Question-asking activities are beneficial for students in many ways. F．The ability to ask abstract questions is related to higher-order thinking quality. G．Meanwhile, you’ve practiced critical thinking by connecting information to yourself. 高一年级英语试卷 第 页 共 8页6 第三部分 语言知识运用(共两节，满分 30 分) 第一节 (共 15 小题；每小题 1 分，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。 Growing up, I hated sports, especially the fierce battle over a single ball.

Frozen by fear, the group of students surrounding May silently hoped that her latest victim wasn’t among them, but they knew full well that there was always a chance. I loved school. But since May had transferred (转学) in, our school had become an uncomfortable place. At about five feet eight inches, May was the tallest kid in our fifth grade class. She routinely played jokes on innocent third graders who were too afraid to defend themselves. I had managed to keep silent, and I wanted to keep it that way. But all that changed when I showed up for school one morning with a new hairstyle. It all started when my best friend, Jaime, said my hair looked nice. I noticed May’s unfriendly eyes; it made me uncomfortable, but I remained focused on my math worksheet. Then came May’s frightening claim across the room: “Nice braid(发辫). Somebody might cut it off.” I was scared. But what really sent me into desperation was when May moved her fingers to imitate (模仿) a pair of scissors in motion. My stomach dropped to my knees, and I immediately came up with a plan, which involved hiding out in the bathroom at the end of the school day so as to avoid running into May on the walk 高一年级英语试卷 第 页 共 8页8 home.
