Lucky for you, we’ve got you covered. Here are some of our favorite hikes in and around the Golden Gate National Parks, which we think you and your family will enjoy. Lands End Trail (小径) Length: 2.9 miles Difficulty: Easy Notes: Partly wheelchair accessible; dog-friendly This beautiful area of coastline in the northwest corner of San Francisco features breathtaking scenery of the Golden Gate Strait, the new Lands End Lookout visitor center, and access to the historic remains of Sutro baths. Miramontes Trail Length: 4.6 miles Difficulty: Easy Notes: Horses allowed Formerly the personal land of a respected San Francisco lawyer, this area is now in one of our southernmost sites of the Golden Gate National Parks, and it features streams and forests of redwoods and firs. Evidence of the logging (伐木) industry and old factories is still apparent along the Union Creek. Tennessee Valley Trail Length: 1.8 miles Difficulty: Easy Notes: Partly wheelchair accessible; bike-friendly Named after the wreckage (残骸) of the USS Tennessee, this valley in the Marin Headlands serves as the perfect family day hike. At low tide (潮汐), you can still see the ship’s engine from the coast at the end of the hike. Golden Gate Bridge Length: 3.6 miles Difficulty: Easy to moderate Notes: Wheelchair accessible; bike-friendly For out-of-town visitors, the world-famous Golden Gate Bridge is the ideal hiking destination. Its 1.7-mile stretch overlooks the Golden Gate Strait and the San Francisco Bay, with plenty of photo opportunities. Don’t miss the new Bridge Plaza on the San Francisco end! 1. What makes Lands End Trail unique among the hikes? A. Dogs are permitted there. B. There are forests of redwoods. C. A shipwreck can be seen at low tide. D.

Then he gave the students a second option. If the teens wanted to keep the Warriors band going and teach themselves, the school would support them. Most students decided to take a different class, but 10 students took him up on the offer. The guys didn’t give up in the face of difficulties and they found the courage to keep the band going. The 10 band members elected Hailey Fitzgerald, 17, as band director, and then invited 2 teachers from the school to serve as advisors. Math teacher Jennifer Cook agreed to offer support. “They’re an impressive group of kids,” Cook said, “We’re all very proud of them.” Band students practice the school song every day, and they’ve learned to work together, Fitzgerald said. They also had to solve a problem when they realized they had too many drummers (鼓手). The band’s latest performance was on their school’s Homecoming Day. “When we do our school song, that’s probably everybody’s favorite,” said Jadyn Lane, 17. “To see so many people supporting and cheering us on, that’s inspiring.” Several schoolmates volunteered to join the students in the stands on Homecoming Day. “Our school is the heart of the community,” Riley said. “Everyone is really appreciative of these kids working together to make sure our school still has a band. It’s amazing to see the progress they’ve made on their own.” Years from now, Fitzgerald imagines she’ll look back on her junior year as the band director with pride. “It was never an option for us to quit — we all love it too much,” she said. 4. What happened to the Warriors band when school started this year? A. The school hired a new band teacher. B. The band members chose other classes. C. The band continued with student leadership. D. The headmaster was not satisfied with the band. 5. Which words can best describe the 10 band members? A. Mild and patient. B. Capable and generous. C Intelligent and imaginative. D. Determined and impressive. 6. What do we know about the band’s latest performance? A. It was organized by several schools. B. It was staged for a yearly local festival. C. It was well recognised by the audience. D. It was attended by every community member. 7. How has Fitzgerald benefited from directing the band? A. It has led her to a lifelong hobby. B. It has helped her to be a top student. C. It has brought her a sense of community. D. It has given her a memory to be treasured. 【答案】4. C 5. D 6. C 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了西弗吉尼亚州一所高中的乐队在原教师离职后，由10名学生自主领导并坚持运营，最终成功完成表演并获得认可的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Most students decided to take a different class, but 10 students took him up on the offer. The guys didn’t give up in the face of difficulties and they found the courage to keep the band going.(大多数学生决定去上另一门课，但有10名学生接受了提议。面对困难，他们没有放弃，他们找到了让乐队继续前进的勇气)”和第三段“The 10 band members elected Hailey Fitzgerald, 17, as band director, and then invited 2 teachers from the school to serve as advisors.(10名乐队成员选出了17岁的海莉·菲茨杰拉德担任乐队指挥，并邀请了2名学校老师担任乐队顾问)”可知，乐队在学生自主领导下继续运营。故选C。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“The guys didn’t give up in the face of difficulties and they found the courage to keep the band going.(这些孩子没有在困难面前放弃，他们找到了继续乐队的勇气)”及第三段“They’re an impressive group of kids,” Cook said, “We’re all very proud of them.”(“他们是一群令人印象深刻的孩子，” 库克说，“我们都为他们感到骄傲。”)”可知，这10名乐队成员是坚定且令人印象深刻的。故选D。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“The band’s latest performance was on their school’s Homecoming Day. “When we do our school song, that’s probably everybody’s favorite,” said Jadyn Lane, 17.(乐队最近的一次演出是在学校的返校节。“当我们唱校歌的时候，那可能是每个人的最爱，”17岁的Jadyn Lane说)”和第五段“To see so many people supporting and cheering us on, that’s inspiring.(看到这么多人支持并为我们加油，这令人鼓舞)”以及第六段校长的话“Everyone is really appreciative of these kids working together to make sure our school still has a band.

If the figure is high, then it is often believed that the standard of living is low, as a large share of income is spent on food. However, recently a topic has become popular on Chinese social media platforms, where many people have begun to question whether the Engel coefficient is relevant (相关的) in China. As an old saying goes, “Food is of primary importance to the people.” This stresses the significant difference between China’s food culture and consumption habits and those of Western countries. Chinese people are willing to spend more money and energy on food. “In the past, I earned 100 yuan a day and spent half of it on food. Now I earn 1,000 yuan a day, and I still spend half of it on food. Having a good meal makes my day,” a blogger commented. Food in China is a science, a social activity and an art. Whether on a snack street, in a restaurant or at someone’s home, food is often the common ground over which people gather to talk and share. “Many aspects of Chinese spiritual culture are connected to food, from management to communication,” Wang Xuetai, a professor at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, told Guangming Daily. “Chinese traditional culture focuses on seeing society and life from the view of food, and Chinese people are very good at enjoying the beauty and meaning found in everyday meals.” These factors make consumption habits in China different from those in other countries, making the Engel coefficient not able to completely reflect the living standards of Chinese people. Moreover, this public concern shows just how deeply food is valued in Chinese society. 8. Why do many people question the relevance of the Engel coefficient in China? A. The Engel coefficient is an outdated economic idea. B. Rising living standards have weakened consumption. C. China’s economic structure differs basically from others. D. Chinese food culture and consumption habits are unique. 9. What is the purpose of mentioning the blogger’s words? A. To show the blogger’s unique consumption habit. B. To compare income growth with stable food expenses. C. To illustrate the significance of food in Chinese culture. D. To stress the importance of individual financial management. 10. What role does Wang Xuetai think food plays in Chinese culture? A. It shapes modern consumption trends. B. It connects spiritual values and social life. C. It serves as a base for traditional social practices. D. It acts as a way for management and policy-making. 11. Why might the Engel coefficient mislead in assessing Chinese living standards? A. Chinese people prefer saving to spending on food. B. The Chinese government encourages daily food consumption. C. Western countries have higher food costs compared to China. D. Food consumption in China includes cultural and social values. 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述了恩格尔系数在中国因独特的饮食文化和消费习惯而受到质疑。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“This stresses the significant difference between China’s food culture and consumption habits and those of Western countries.(这强调了中国饮食文化和消费习惯与西方国家的显著差异)”可知，很多人质疑恩格尔系数在中国的相关性是因为中国的饮食文化和消费习惯独特。故选D。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Food in China is a science, a social activity and an art. Whether on a snack street, in a restaurant or at someone’s home, food is often the common ground over which people gather to talk and share.(在中国，食物是一门科学、一种社交活动和一门艺术。无论是在小吃街、餐馆还是在别人家里，食物往往是人们聚在一起聊天和分享的共同话题)”以及前文提到博主的话可知，提及博主的话是为了说明食物在中国文化中的重要性。故选C。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Many aspects of Chinese spiritual culture are connected to food, from management to communication(中国精神文化的许多方面都与食物有关，从管理到交流)”可知，王学泰认为食物连接了精神价值和社会生活。故选B。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“These factors make consumption habits in China different from those in other countries, making the Engel coefficient not able to completely reflect the living standards of Chinese people.(这些因素使得中国的消费习惯与其他国家不同，使得恩格尔系数不能完全反映中国人的生活水平)”以及前文提到食物在中国不仅是物质消费，还包含文化和社会价值可知，恩格尔系数在评估中国生活水平时可能会产生误导是因为中国的食物消费包含了文化和社会价值。故选D。 D To better understand how animals like spiders communicate with pattern and color, Jenny Yi-Ti Sung, a student at the University of Cincinnati, is turning to ancient dramatic art. Sung is studying how Beijing Opera expresses details about characters to their audiences through the performers’ colorful masks (假面具). For spiders, the unique characteristics broadcast species, sex or even romantic intentions to possible mates. Similarly, in Beijing Opera, the masks give the audience clues about a character’s motive, character or virtue. “I’m interested in understanding how male spiders might use their patterns and colors to tell a female spider they’re a good mate,” Sung said. “I saw a parallel in Beijing Opera masks. How do these visual patterns develop to tell a specific identity?” Sung is investigating whether Beijing Opera masks within a particular opera are more similar or different compared with masks in unrelated operas. She compares 76 masks after standardizing their sizes, checking for patterns or special qualities in their designs. This investigation aims to show the importance of differences among characters within the same story in Beijing Opera. Nathan Morehouse, Sung’s advisor, thought highly of Sung’s creative approach, describing it as a delightful marriage of cultural and scientific interests in biology (生物学). “I think it enriches science and opens up new ways of thinking about things,” he said. Facial patterns, as observed in jumping spiders and various animal species, hold biological significance in communicating information about species, sex and mate suitability. “When they live in mixed-species communities, their facial patterns develop to be different so they can recognize members of the same species at a distance,” Morehouse said. 12. What does the underlined word “parallel” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Similarity. B. Mystery. C. Change. D. Contrast. 13. What is the aim of Sung’s investigation of Beijing Opera masks? A. To find similar features among masks. B. To compare masks across unrelated operas. C. To identify the colors used in different masks. D. To explore the differences of characters in a single opera. 14. What is special about Sung’s study according to Morehouse? A. It applies to many animals. B. It covers the biological sciences. C. It brings science and culture together. D. It focuses on new conservation methods. 15. What do facial patterns help animals do? A. They confuse their enemies. B. They enable species recognition. C. They maintain harmony between species. D. They make communication between species easier. 【答案】12. A 13. D 14. C 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了辛辛那提大学学生宋怡缇通过研究京剧面具来探索蜘蛛等动物如何用图案和颜色交流。 【12题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段中“Similarly, in Beijing Opera, the masks give the audience clues about a character’s motive, character or virtue.(同样，在京剧中，面具为观众提供了关于角色动机、性格或品德的线索)”以及“How do these visual patterns develop to tell a specific identity?(这些视觉模式是如何发展起来以表明特定身份的？)”可知，宋怡缇认为蜘蛛用图案和颜色交流与京剧面具传达信息有相似之处，所以“parallel”意思是“相似之处”，与A选项Similarity意思相同。故选A。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“This investigation aims to show the importance of differences among characters within the same story in Beijing Opera.(这项调查旨在表明京剧同一故事中角色之间差异的重要性)”可知，宋怡缇研究京剧面具的目的是探索同一部京剧中的角色差异。故选D。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Nathan Morehouse, Sung’s advisor, thought highly of Sung’s creative approach, describing it as a delightful marriage of cultural and scientific interests in biology (生物学).(宋怡缇的导师内森·莫尔豪斯对宋怡缇的创造性方法给予了高度评价，称其为生物学中文化和科学兴趣的完美结合)”可知，莫尔豪斯认为宋怡缇研究的特别之处在于它将科学和文化结合在了一起。故选C。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“When they live in mixed-species communities, their facial patterns develop to be different so they can recognize members of the same species at a distance.(当它们生活在混合物种的群体中时，它们的面部图案会变得不同，这样它们就可以在远处识别出同物种的成员)”可知，面部图案帮助动物识别物种。故选B。 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。 One important purpose of culturally responsive education is to help all students learn to value different cultures and the people they meet. ____16____ This is because our world contains far more varieties than what students experience in their daily lives.

After picking it up curiously, Oliver found a bookstore logo on the surface, which reminded him of his part-time-job experience working at a bookstore during college. In addition, he found a large amount of cash and a business card with a phone number on it. Oliver and his father had been living a poor life all together although his father worked hard each day. Oliver had been struggling with unemployment while actively looking for a new job. “What if I keep the wallet?” he said to himself, the thought of financial relief crossing his mind. “I could use the money to do something.” Yet, a wave of guilt washed over him. “But Father would be annoyed if I…” he thought, holding the wallet tightly. Noticing his hesitation, Oliver’s father asked what was wrong. He told his father about the wallet and his inner struggle. With a gentle but firm voice, his father reminded him of the values, “We shouldn’t keep what isn’t ours, Oliver.” Oliver’s face turned red with a mix of emotions. “We have bills without steady income monthly, and this could be a turning point,” he responded. His father admitted their difficulties but encouraged him to think about the right thing to do, saying, “Returning it could bring you unexpected good luck.” Finally, Oliver decided to call the number on the business card. The owner was an elderly man, who was very grateful to take his wallet back. He explained that the money inside was prepared for his son Noah, which was important for his new business-a bookstore he was planning to open. As Oliver walked away, he felt a sense of fulfillment (成就感) from doing the right thing, but he continued to worry about his own job search and financial situation. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Oliver received an unexpected phone call several weeks later. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Oliver was appointed manager of Noah’s new bookstore soon . ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】示例： Oliver received an unexpected phone call several weeks later. It was from Noah, the elderly man’s son, who spoke in a happy and warm tone. “Your honesty really touched my father,” he said. “We are opening a bookstore next month and need someone we can trust to help run it.” Oliver’s heart beat fast — this was the chance he had been waiting for. When he said he didn’t have much experience, Noah laughed softly and replied, “Being a good person is more important.” Oliver felt very excited and agreed to meet for an interview. After hanging up, he remembered his father’s words about “good luck coming from doing the right thing”. Maybe life did reward those who made honest choices, even when it was difficult. Oliver was appointed manager of Noah’s new bookstore soon. The job not only helped with his money problems but also made him love books again. Noah, who admired Oliver’s hard work, even offered him a share of the store’s profits. As Oliver watched customers look through the books he had carefully chosen, he realized how one honest decision had changed his future. His father, both proud and playful, would say, “I told you it would work out.” Years later, when Oliver talked to a young worker who was having a hard time, he shared Noah’s lesson: “Good character opens doors that skills alone cannot.” The wallet he had once thought about keeping had, in the end, given him more than he had ever expected. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了奥利弗在超市捡到内有大量现金和名片的钱包，虽生活困苦想占有，但在父亲劝说下归还。几周后他接到诺亚电话，获邀帮忙经营书店。成为经理后他解决经济问题，还因工作出色获利润分成，意识到诚实决定改变未来并将教诲分享给他人。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“几周后，奥利弗接到了一个意外的电话。”可知，第一段可描写奥利弗接到诺亚电话，得知对方因他的诚实邀请他帮忙经营书店，奥利弗很激动并同意面试。 ②由第二段首句内容“奥利弗很快被任命为诺亚新书店的经理。”可知，第二段可描写奥利弗成为书店经理后解决了经济问题，还因工作出色获得利润分成，他意识到诚实决定改变未来，并将诺亚的教诲分享给他人。 2.续写线索：接到电话——得知邀请——激动同意——成为经理——解决经济问题——获得利润分成——分享教诲 3词汇激活： 行为类： ① 信任：trust/believe in ② 帮助：help/assist ③ 提供：offer/provide 情绪类： ① 高兴的：happy/pleased ② 激动的：excited/thrilled 【点睛】【高分句型1】Maybe life did reward those who made honest choices, even when it was difficult.(运用了who引导的定语从句，when引导的时间状语从句) 【高分句型2】As Oliver watched customers look through the books he had carefully chosen, he realized how one honest decision had changed his future.(运用了As引导的时间状语从句，省略关系代词that/which的定语从句修饰先行词books，how引导的宾语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 郑州市2024-2025学年下期期末考试 高一英语试题卷 注意事项： 本试卷分四部分，考试时间120分钟，满分150分。考生应首先阅读答题卡上的文字信息，然后在答题卡上作答，在试题卷上作答无效。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 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.

B On the first day of school this year, Joseph Riley, the headmaster of Pocahontas County High School in West Virginia, dropped by the band classroom and told the 38 students that the school had been unable to find a band teacher after the former teacher left over the summer to take a teaching position at a different school. “I said that we’d have to get them into other classes,” Riley said. Then he gave the students a second option. If the teens wanted to keep the Warriors band going and teach themselves, the school would support them. Most students decided to take a different class, but 10 students took him up on the offer. The guys didn’t give up in the face of difficulties and they found the courage to keep the band going. The 10 band members elected Hailey Fitzgerald, 17, as band director, and then invited 2 teachers from the school to serve as advisors. Math teacher Jennifer Cook agreed to offer support. “They’re an impressive group of kids,” Cook said, “We’re all very proud of them.” Band students practice the school song every day, and they’ve learned to work together, Fitzgerald said. They also had to solve a problem when they realized they had too many drummers (鼓手). The band’s latest performance was on their school’s Homecoming Day. “When we do our school song, that’s probably everybody’s favorite,” said Jadyn Lane, 17. “To see so many people supporting and cheering us on, that’s inspiring.” Several schoolmates volunteered to join the students in the stands on Homecoming Day. “Our school is the heart of the community,” Riley said. “Everyone is really appreciative of these kids working together to make sure our school still has a band. It’s amazing to see the progress they’ve made on their own.” Years from now, Fitzgerald imagines she’ll look back on her junior year as the band director with pride. “It was never an option for us to quit — we all love it too much,” she said. 4. What happened to the Warriors band when school started this year? A. The school hired a new band teacher. B. The band members chose other classes. C. The band continued with student leadership. D. The headmaster was not satisfied with the band. 5. Which words can best describe the 10 band members? A. Mild and patient. B. Capable and generous. C. Intelligent and imaginative. D. Determined and impressive. 6. What do we know about the band’s latest performance? A. It was organized by several schools. B. It was staged for a yearly local festival. C. It was well recognised by the audience. D. It was attended by every community member. 7. How has Fitzgerald benefited from directing the band? A. It has led her to a lifelong hobby. B. It has helped her to be a top student. C. It has brought her a sense of community. D. It has given her a memory to be treasured. C The Engel coefficient (恩格尔系数) is an economic idea that describes the relationship between income and consumption (消费) on food. If the figure is high, then it is often believed that the standard of living is low, as a large share of income is spent on food. However, recently a topic has become popular on Chinese social media platforms, where many people have begun to question whether the Engel coefficient is relevant (相关的) in China. As an old saying goes, “Food is of primary importance to the people.” This stresses the significant difference between China’s food culture and consumption habits and those of Western countries. Chinese people are willing to spend more money and energy on food. “In the past, I earned 100 yuan a day and spent half of it on food. Now I earn 1,000 yuan a day, and I still spend half of it on food. Having a good meal makes my day,” a blogger commented. Food in China is a science, a social activity and an art. Whether on a snack street, in a restaurant or at someone’s home, food is often the common ground over which people gather to talk and share. “Many aspects of Chinese spiritual culture are connected to food, from management to communication,” Wang Xuetai, a professor at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, told Guangming Daily. “Chinese traditional culture focuses on seeing society and life from the view of food, and Chinese people are very good at enjoying the beauty and meaning found in everyday meals.” These factors make consumption habits in China different from those in other countries, making the Engel coefficient not able to completely reflect the living standards of Chinese people. Moreover, this public concern shows just how deeply food is valued in Chinese society. 8. Why do many people question the relevance of the Engel coefficient in China? A. The Engel coefficient is an outdated economic idea. B. Rising living standards have weakened consumption. C. China’s economic structure differs basically from others. D. Chinese food culture and consumption habits are unique. 9. What is the purpose of mentioning the blogger’s words? A. To show the blogger’s unique consumption habit. B. To compare income growth with stable food expenses. C. To illustrate the significance of food in Chinese culture. D. To stress the importance of individual financial management. 10. What role does Wang Xuetai think food plays in Chinese culture? A. It shapes modern consumption trends. B. It connects spiritual values and social life. C. It serves as a base for traditional social practices. D. It acts as a way for management and policy-making. 11. Why might the Engel coefficient mislead in assessing Chinese living standards? A. Chinese people prefer saving to spending on food. B. The Chinese government encourages daily food consumption. C. Western countries have higher food costs compared to China. D. Food consumption in China includes cultural and social values. D To better understand how animals like spiders communicate with pattern and color, Jenny Yi-Ti Sung, a student at the University of Cincinnati, is turning to ancient dramatic art. Sung is studying how Beijing Opera expresses details about characters to their audiences through the performers’ colorful masks (假面具). For spiders, the unique characteristics broadcast species, sex or even romantic intentions to possible mates. Similarly, in Beijing Opera, the masks give the audience clues about a character’s motive, character or virtue. “I’m interested in understanding how male spiders might use their patterns and colors to tell a female spider they’re a good mate,” Sung said. “I saw a parallel in Beijing Opera masks. How do these visual patterns develop to tell a specific identity?” Sung is investigating whether Beijing Opera masks within a particular opera are more similar or different compared with masks in unrelated operas. She compares 76 masks after standardizing their sizes, checking for patterns or special qualities in their designs. This investigation aims to show the importance of differences among characters within the same story in Beijing Opera. Nathan Morehouse, Sung’s advisor, thought highly of Sung’s creative approach, describing it as a delightful marriage of cultural and scientific interests in biology (生物学). “I think it enriches science and opens up new ways of thinking about things,” he said. Facial patterns, as observed in jumping spiders and various animal species, hold biological significance in communicating information about species, sex and mate suitability. “When they live in mixed-species communities, their facial patterns develop to be different so they can recognize members of the same species at a distance,” Morehouse said. 12. What does the underlined word “parallel” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Similarity. B. Mystery. C. Change. D. Contrast. 13. What is the aim of Sung’s investigation of Beijing Opera masks? A. To find similar features among masks. B. To compare masks across unrelated operas. C. To identify the colors used in different masks. D. To explore the differences of characters in a single opera. 14. What is special about Sung’s study according to Morehouse? A. It applies to many animals. B. It covers the biological sciences. C. It brings science and culture together. D. It focuses on new conservation methods. 15. What do facial patterns help animals do? A. They confuse their enemies. B. They enable species recognition. C. They maintain harmony between species. D They make communication between species easier. 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。 One important purpose of culturally responsive education is to help all students learn to value different cultures and the people they meet. ____16____ This is because our world contains far more varieties than what students experience in their daily lives.

After picking it up curiously, Oliver found a bookstore logo on the surface, which reminded him of his part-time-job experience working at a bookstore during college. In addition, he found a large amount of cash and a business card with a phone number on it. Oliver and his father had been living a poor life all together although his father worked hard each day. Oliver had been struggling with unemployment while actively looking for a new job. “What if I keep the wallet?” he said to himself, the thought of financial relief crossing his mind. “I could use the money to do something.” Yet, a wave of guilt washed over him. “But Father would be annoyed if I…” he thought, holding the wallet tightly. Noticing his hesitation, Oliver’s father asked what was wrong. He told his father about the wallet and his inner struggle. With a gentle but firm voice, his father reminded him of the values, “We shouldn’t keep what isn’t ours, Oliver.” Oliver’s face turned red with a mix of emotions. “We have bills without steady income monthly, and this could be a turning point,” he responded. His father admitted their difficulties but encouraged him to think about the right thing to do, saying, “Returning it could bring you unexpected good luck.” Finally, Oliver decided to call the number on the business card. The owner was an elderly man, who was very grateful to take his wallet back. He explained that the money inside was prepared for his son Noah, which was important for his new business-a bookstore he was planning to open. As Oliver walked away, he felt a sense of fulfillment (成就感) from doing the right thing, but he continued to worry about his own job search and financial situation. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Oliver received an unexpected phone call several weeks later. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Oliver was appointed manager of Noah’s new bookstore soon . ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $郑州市2024至2025学年下期期末考试高一英语听力部分做题时先将答案标在试卷上，录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。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abc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。Text one, when does the bus leave for the museum?
