What is a Hoverboard? A hoverboard is a two-wheeled personal transportation device.It's electrical, portable and became highly popular in 2015 in reference to a popular 1980's movie.Typically,this self-balancing device operates like a powered skateboard. How Does a Hoverboard Work? The device may have many designs,but the mechanism itself isn't complicated. Basically,a standard hoverbeard contains: Battery:stores the electrical power.Almost all hoverboards use a high-watt 北京师大附中2024一2025学年（下）高一期末英语试卷第4页（共16页） lithium-ion battery. ·Gyroscope(one for each wheel):allows riders to tilt（倾斜)the hoverboard while maintaining balance and adjusting their direction. Motor (one in each wheel):provides the power to the wheels to keep the rider balanced and upright. Logic board:functions as the hoverboard brain.It processes data your speed,tilt,etc.-and sends information to the motors.This unit controls the power of the board so riders can adjust their speed. All the above components work together to control the power and tilt of the hoverboards so the rider is balanced,upright and moving at a controlled speed. Why Buy a Hoverboard? Undoubtedly,hoverboards are cool.You've probably seen kids riding one around the house.They're a phenomenon and everybody wants in.So,why deny your kids and prevent them from being part of this trend? Where is a hoverboard legal? Despite their wild popularity,hoverboards have yet to become "street-legal". Currently,some places prohibit anyone under 16 from using these devices,and hoverboards are banned in academic institutions and public places,like campus buildings,parks,shopping malls and subway stations.Some places have also put speed limits on the devices and restricted their use to bike paths.However,opem areas-including your yard-are free of these restrictions. 31.The logic board of a hoverbeard can A.store electricity B.power the wheels C.send information to the riders D.receive data and give command 32.According to the passage,a hoverboard can be usea AT on camnpus B,in parks C.on bike paths 段in shopping malls 33.What is the main purpose of this passage? A.To evaluate a gift's quality. B.To recommend a gift choice. C.To compare new hoverboard models. D.To clarify functions of the latest hoverboards 北京师大附中2024一2025学年（下）高一期末英语试卷第5页（共16页） B Open water swimming I had only swum in open water a few times,and always in gentle lakes,so I wasn't prepared for how rough Lake Windermere appeared on a cold day.A swimmer told me the water felt colder than it had been measured,and that the water was a bit rough.But I,along with 10,000 others,was about to complete the challenge regardless of the difficulties. Most of the people taking part were doing a one-mile race,and 10 races were planned over the weekend.There seemed to be a mix of open-water enthusiasts alongside complete beginners-which is precisely the aim of the swims,to get as many people as possible completing their own challenge.The oldest woman competing was 77,taking part in the two-mile race,alongside a man who last year had swum in every one-mile race. I had chosen the third one-mile race of the day.There were over 600 people in my race.We were taken through a preparation area,a children's paddling pool-sized part of the lake where we moved in to feel how cold the water was."Not too bad" was everyone's thought!Then we headed out towards the middle of the lake. We'd been warned that the first 100 meters would be really rough.However, somewhere near the 750m mark,I was still waiting for the calm;it felt more like swimming in the sea than a lake.I tried to focus on my breathing and technique,and just keep going.As I approached the 400m-to-go mark my lower right leg became painful.I recalled averhearing people talking about how they kept swimming through the pain,so I tried.But it didn't work.I began to feel the entire leg tight and painful.I didn't want to stop,so I bent my right knee and just kicked with the left leg. Finally,I saw the finishing post,and I just concentrated on getting there-still one-legged.My finishing time was 38 minutes 25 seconds but that didn't matter- everyone felt fantastic and a sense of achievement,whatever their time.I'm attracted and want to give it another go.I've already signed up for my next open-water swim. 34.How did the authon feel before the race? A Scared of the most challenging race. B.Disappointed by the difficult conditions. C.Determined to be as rough as the people around her. 北京师大附中2024一2025学年（下）高一期末英语试卷第6页（共16页） D Coneerned about the other swimmers in the race. 35.Why does the author mention the two people in Paragraph 2? A.To stress the umportance of the race. B.To praise the experienced swimmers. C.To introduce the varous events of the race. D.To show the wide range ot the participants. 36.The author suggests in Paragraph 4 that A.the race would cause breathing problems B.the race became narder than she had expected C.it would have been easier if she had taken others'advice D.it was really necessary to prepare for tough swims 37.What does the author talk about in the last paragraph? A.Her confidence in her own ability. B.Her pride in having swum so quickly. C.Her surprise at having managed to finish. D.FIer eagerness to repeat the experience. C A crucial period for leaming the rules and structure of a language lasts up to around age 17 or 18,say psychologist Joshua Hartshore of MIT and his colleagues. Previous research had suggested that grammar-learning abilityt developed in early childhood before hitting a dead end around age 5.However,Hartshorne's team reports online in Cognition that people who started learning English as a second language in an English-speaking country by age 10 to 12 ultimately mastered the new tongue as well as folks who had leamned English and another language at the same time from birth.Both groups,however,fell somewhat short of the grammatical fluency displayed by English-only speakers.After ages 10 to 12,new-to-English learners reached lower levels of fluency than those who started learning English at younger ages because time ran out when their grammar-absorbing ability fell starting around age 17. Aiming for a sample of tens of thousands of volunteers,Hartshorne began by contacting friends on Facebook to take an online English grammar quiz,which used 北京师大附中2024一2025学年（下）高一期末英语试卷第7页（共16页） a person's responses to guess his or her native language and dialect (of English.Then volunteers filled out a questionnaire asking where they had lived, languages they had spoken from birth,the age at which they began learning English and the number of years they had lived in an English-speaking-country. In the end,the researchers analyzed responses of 669 498 native and nonnative English speakers.Statistical calculations tocused on estimating at what ages people with varying amounts of experience speaking English reached peak grammar abili. Researchers who study language learning regard the new study as fascinating, but exploratory.According to psycholinguist David Barner of the University of California,San Diego,Hartshorne's team can't yet say that language skill develops along a single timeline.Different elements of grammar,such as using correct word order or subjects and verbs that agree with one another,might be learned at different rates,Barner says.It's also unclear whether the responses of volunteers to an online, 132-item grammar test reflect how well or poorly they actually speak English,he says. What's more,language learning involves more than a crucial period for acquiring grammar,cautions linguist David Birdsong of the University of Texas at Austin.For instance,growing up speaking two languages at once puts still poorly understood burdens on the ability to grasp grammar,he says. In the new study,people who were bilinguals (speaking two languages)from birth fell short of peak English grammar scores achieved by English-only speakers. That's consistent with ewidence that bilinguais cannot easily turn off one language while speaking another,Birdsong says.Interactions between tongues spoken by one person may slightly depress how much can be learned about both languages,even if bilingual communication sull reaches high levels,he suggests. 38.Hartshorne and his colleagues ttound tnat A.one reaches a higher level of fluency at age 10 B.one learns a second language fastest at about age 12 C.one gets a good grasp of English grammar before age 5 D.one's ability to master gramman declines ar around age 17 北京师大附中2024一2025学年（下）高一期宋英语试卷第8页（共16页） 39.Hartshorne collected data through A.social media B.experiments in the lab C.literature review D.face-to-face interviews 40.David Barner believes that A:language skill develops along a single timeline B.online volunteers do not cover a wide enough range C.different grammar items may be acquired at different paces D.the quiz in the new study does not include enough questions 41.What can we know about bilinguals from the last two paragraphs? A.They can achieve a perfect grammar score. B.Grammar learning is the biggest burden for them C.They are able to make a swift shift oetween languages. D.Speaking two languages affects their language acquisition. D Don't put it off,do it now! Why do we spend so much time not doing the work we should do,or putting off small jobs that have piled up to create a big problem?Procrastinating,as putting things off like this is called,is in our character we have naturally since birth;we avoid dull or difficult jobs until it's too late to do anything else. "We often put things off although we know it will make life more stressful," says Dr.Steel,an expert on the science of motivation."If these tasks were fun,we'd just do them now.We put off what is difficult or unpleasant,such as the paperwork that needs doing before leaving the office or cleaning the bits of your home that people can't see.But ine fact is,the less people procrastinate,the more money they have,the better relationships they have,and the healthier they are."This is obvious when you look at the couples who don't argue about whether anyone has cleaned the kitchen,and the people who simply go for a run instead of endlessly rescheduling it in their heads. Of course,there are the rest of us,who feel the small jobs piling up around us daily."We've evolved to respond to the moment,and not to set our sights too far in an uncertain world,"Dr.Steel adds."We are not set up to,appreciate long-term 北京师大附中2024一2025学年（下）高-一期末英语试卷第9页（共16页） rewards,whether it's the benefit of a four-year degree,doing exercise or dieting.We usually feel the cost now and the reward comes much later.According to Dr.Steel, we have two decision-making systems.They are the limbic,which is responsible for the short term,and the prefrontal cortex,which deals with the future.We bounce between long-term goals and short-term temptations,so we need goals that will translate our plans for the limbic system. Let's take the example of students'writing essays.They should set themselves targets and word counts per day.These are thus turned from seemingly endless tasks into something concrete with measured progress.Dr.Steel recommends such techniques or "pre-commitments",adding that leaving you a month before the "deadline"makes it more likely a task will be completed.The benefit is that you'll avoid the embarrassment of not following up on something people are expecting you to do-telling everyone you are going to take up jogging makes you more likely to do so. Overcoming procrastination fnally comes down to planning which,if you're not careful.becomes procrastmanonin itself.But it is worth making sure you have everything in place."Successful people don't pretend they don't procrastinate,"Dr. Steel says."People who pretend they have willpower are ess successful."Lastead, plan for procrastination:make your work envirorment a temple of productivity by cutting out what stops you paying your attention,so you can really focus on moving forward. 42.What does the author say about procrastination in Paragraph 1? A.It is caused by the technology in people's life. B.It is more common when people have small jobs to do. C It is something many people can't avoid. D.It is an excuse people often use in public 43.In paragraph 3,Dr.Steel believes that people who.procrastinate should A.be aware that their problem is relatively small B.find out more about the way they make decisions C.attempt to overcome their natural tendencies D.take the advice of others in the same situation 44.Why does Dr.Steel recommend making "pre-commitments"in Paragraph 4? A.They are an effective way of impressing otners. 北京师大附中2024一2025学年（下）高-期末英语试卷第10页（共16页）
