B There was a fine piece of carving stone material,but it was ruined by an unskilled sculptor. Mistakenly,he dug a hole on the part that was originally for the figure's leg.So this rare piece of marble(大理石)was abandoned in a church. One day,someone called in Michelangelo.They believed only he was able to make use of this piece of marble.Michelangelo looked at the stone and concluded that he could carve out a beautiful figure as long as he got the design adjusted to hide the damaged part. Michelangelo decided to carve the young David.One day,the mayor (of the city entered the studio.He regarded himself as a carving expert and appreciated the work.He told Michelangelo that his work was a fantastic masterpiece,but the nose was too big. Michelangelo knew the mayor was standing right below the statue,so his visual angle was incorrect.Without a word,he asked the mayor to climb up the platform following him to the nose position.He then picked up a tool and some small pieces of marble.Michelangelo began to carve gently with the tool and made the collected stone pieces in his hand drop bit by bit.In fact,he didn't change the nose,but it seemed as if he did.After several minutes,he stood aside and said,"Now,have a look!"The mayor answered,"This is better.You have made it true to life." Everyone believes they are right.If you try to persuade others to change their grounds by words, the reasoning of your argument may fall on deaf ears.Learn to prove the correctness of ideas in an indirect way.Getting the support of others through your own actions will be more powerful.One can never win if he only relies on arguments. 高一英语试卷第3页（共8页） 24.Why was Michelangelo invited to make the sculpture?

C 线 When Leonardo da Vinci wasn't painting masterpieces or dreaming up flying machines,he was exploring the secrets of gravity.Considering himself a scientist and artist,this Renaissance thinker spent untold hours studying how the "attraction of one object to another"affected phenomena like the flight of birds and the fall of water. 内C Recent research published in the journal Leonardo reveals that da Vinci conducted detailed : gravity experiments over a century before Galileo and two centuries prior to Newton."His thinking 订 was far ahead of his time,"said co-author Dr.Morteza Gharib.The study highlights Leonardo's determination to find the law governing the dynamics of falling objects. 不C Dr.Gharib said he discovered the experiments while examining an online version of The Codex Arundel,a collection of Leonardo's notes from 1478 to 1518.Among its mirror-written texts,a drawing on Page 143 caught his eye:a triangle (formed by circles pouring from a pot.He used 要C a computer program to flip (the triangle and the nearby backward writing.Suddenly,the image came to life."I could see motion,"Dr.Gharib recalled."I could see him pouring stuff out."It was a eureka moment that revealed Leonardo's forward-looking experiment. Gazing at Leonardo's drawing,Dr.Gharib realized that the artist had separated gravity's effects 答C into two components,revealing a normally hidden aspect of nature.Inspired by hail falling from fast-moving clouds,Leonardo demonstrated through his drawing how gravity's constant force causes a steady speed gain-shown by the increasing gaps between falling objects as the pot moves. 线 Despite his basic experimental setup 500 years ago,da Vinci calculated the gravitational constant 题C to an accuracy within 10 percent of the modern value."It's mind-boggling,"Dr.Gharib said."That's the beauty of what Leonardo does." However,Dr.Gharib hesitated to examine The Codex Arundel further."I'm like a kid in a toy store,afraid to even look at it,"he said.He noted that while art historians had studied it,scientists had not."It's an open book with so much to discover." 高一英语试卷第4页（共8页） 28.What is the primary purpose of the text? A.To present da Vinci's unknown research. B.To compare da Vinci with other scientists. C.To prove da Vinci's artist and scientist role.D.To show a way of analyzing da Vinci's notes. 29.What does the phrase"a eureka moment"in paragraph 3 mean? A.Finding da Vinci's secret drawings. B.Recognizing the need of mirror-writing. C.Discovering the power of technology. D.Realizing the triangle's scientific meaning. 30.What is special about da Vinci's experiments? : A.They were the first to explore the law of gravity 装 B.They achieved high-level accuracy with simple tools C.They focused on the beauty of falling objects'motion. D.They combined artistic strategy with scientific method. 31.What can we learn about The Codex Arundel according to Dr.Gharib? A.Its artwork hasn't been properly analyzed.B.Historians misunderstood its real purpose. C.It contains unexplored scientific insights. D.New tools are required to discover its secrets. D Lifestyle creep,sometimes called lifestyle inflation ()is when living expenses and non-essential expenses grow with income.In bad cases of lifestyle creep,this unnecessary spending can cut into savings. Lifestyle creep is most visible among high earners,but anyone can fall into this trap.Who hasn't justified eating out more often every week after receiving a 1 or 2 percent raise?The temptation of a more costly lifestyle is difficult to resist.If you're making enough money to afford a larger apartment, 订 shouldn't you move to a larger apartment? Improving your standard of living as your income increases isn't an objectively bad thing,but when that habit cuts into your savings efforts,it can be a major financial risk.As Katie Waters,a financial planner at Stable Waters Financial,says,"Something's got to give." Then how to avoid lifestyle creep?It just takes the same moderation and planning you used when you had a smaller income.If you can,head off lifestyle creep from the beginning by giving your raise or bonus money a purpose immediately.This can be used to pay down debt,save for a house,or add to retirement accounts.This way,you won't be tempted to spend it on a non-necessity.If you fear you've already fallen victim to lifestyle inflation at any level,you can still turn your spending around. If you are putting all your expenses on your credit card,Waters recommends rearranging so that only routine,fixed monthly expenses are on the card."The monthly variable costs-food,clothing, personal care,purchases for the home,the list goes on-are where your money slips away 的 easily,"Waters says."Calculate your possible savings each pay period and put that money into a separate checking account." "As with all things,the secret to managing your finances like an adult is a constant strive for : balance,"Waters says."Have fun along the way,but don't let the tail wag the dog." 32.What is characteristic of lifestyle creep? A.It could accelerate income growth. B.It only traps people with a high income. C.It might affect a person's savings. D.It generally represents a high living standard. 高一英语试卷 第5页（共8页） 33.Why are Katie Waters'words quoted in paragraph 3? A.To provide advice on finance. B.To support the author's point. C.To highlight giving in one's life D.To justify a more costly lifestyle. 34.Which measure helps avoid lifestyle creep? A.Putting all the expenses on a credit card. B.Saving the bonus money for non-necessities. C.Increasing the monthly costs on food and clothing. D.Setting different checking accounts for specific purposes. 35.What does the phrase"don't let the tail wag the dog"imply? A.Don't bite the hand that feeds you. B.Don't put the cart before the horse. C.Don't do one thing under the cover of another. D.Don't count the chickens before they are hatched. 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。 There's a reason why so many people love running early in the morning.36 Not only do you begin your day more relaxed and refreshed,but you've already started things off with an accomplishment.If you think you're ready to take advantage of the benefits of a morning run,here are some reflections from the professionals. Finding a partner to run with will give you someone to be responsible for,and make it much harder to blow of the run.It's also important to remember that this is a process,and you can't expect to do it perfectly from the beginning.37"Once you get into the habit,it becomes natural and actually jump starts your day,"says Sheri Piers,top American finisher at the 2012 Boston Marathon. "The first few steps or blocks will be tough in the morning.They always are,"says Dr.Jordan Metzl,who has over 32 marathon finishes under his belt.With a practice of more than 20,000 patients, Metzl's days are jam-packed,so early morning runs are a must.38"Sometimes you have to just do it,and remember that the motivation will come later,"he says. 39"If I go to bed in my sportswear,all I need to do is throw on the outer layers and head out the door.At least that takes away some of the inconvenience,"says Tina Muir,a half-marathoner. She also leaves her alarm on the other side of the room to help push herself up. "I view waking up early like tearing off a Band-Aid,"says Michele Gonzalez,a running coach, “'it gonna hurt for a bit..”_40_“You just have to set the alarm early and start doing it,”she says.. "After a few days,you'll be tired earlier at night and will start going to bed earlier.This makes the early alarm feel a bit more manageable." A.Have a training plan. B.It has major benefits. C.Her advice is relatively simple. D.It's just like warming up a car in the winter. E.Even if you have a setback or two,keep at it. F.Still,he knows how hard it can be to get motivated. G.The worst part is getting changed in the cold air,especially in winter. 高一英语试卷第6页（共8页） 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。 In my family,Norooz -the Persian New Year -has always been the most important day of the year.It means making and enjoying 41 prepared dishes with the people I love,the sound of drinks pouring,and the 42 of fingers moving fast to deal with nuts.

On Dad's final day of work,it took him well into the evening to complete his rounds because at : 内○ least one member from each family was waiting at their mailbox to appreciate him for his friendship and his years of service."Two hundred and nineteen mailboxes on my route,"he used to say,"and a 订 story at every one."One lady had no mailbox,so Dad took the mail in to her every day because she was nearly blind.He once lectured me that to bring everyone plain pleasure was his greatest pleasure, 不O which has stuck in my mind so far. With a heavy heart,I traveled back to my hometown on the sad occasion of Dad's death,and the mailboxes along the way reminded me of some of his stories.I thought I knew them all,but that wasn't the case.

Hardly had the words flowed from his trembling lips when I dropped my jaw. Father was genuinely the Santa Claus! Recalling every letter of mine answered in time, I appreciated my dad’s dedication all these years, my eyes filled with tears. Flakes still whirling, I seemingly spotted a sparkle of light casting on me, melting the snow carpeting my heart. Frank went on with the stories, conveying his affection for the past. But I was not that attentive. Memories of the past came flooding again. “Your father always considered others’ pleasure as his own”. Frank’s remark hit me like a clap of thunder, reminding me of the philosophy of pleasure passed down from my father. Thinking of this philosophy of pleasure, I determined to be this year’s Santa Claus. Braving the sharp wind, I grasped the key Frank gave me and headed for the mailboxes. With a soft click, they opened. Dusty and wrinkled, the letters lay quietly, waiting to be answered. I gently took them out, rushed home, and signed the replies with Santa’s name. When I brought every letter to every original address, the owners’ eyebrows lifted high but then soothed as I explained patiently to them. Some of them even remembered my father and offered me cookies. Spotting the understanding looks on their faces, I felt a surge of warmth and pleasure. After waving farewell, I slowed my steps in the snow and wandered along the familiar road, recalling the past golden days that would never fade away. 3 请阅卷教师在阅卷前仔细研读评分标准，然后严格按照标准进行阅卷。 【评分标准】 1．评分原则 （1）本题总分为 25分，按五个档次进行评分。 （2）评分时，应主要从内容、词汇语法和篇章结构三个方面考虑，具体为： ◆ 创造内容的质量，续写的完整性以及与原文情境的融洽度。 ◆ 使用词汇和语法结构的准确性、恰当性和多样性。 ◆ 上下文的衔接和全文的连贯性。 （3）评分时，先根据作答的整体情况初步确定其所属档次，然后以该档次的要求来综合衡量， 确定或调整档次，最后给分。 （4）评分时还应注意： ◆ 词数少于 130的，酌情扣分。 ◆ 单词拼写和标点符号是写作规范的重要方面，评分时应视其对交际的影响程度予以考 虑。英、美拼写及词汇用法均可接受。 ◆ 书写较差以致影响交际的，可将分数降低一个档次。 2．各档次的给分范围和要求 第五档（21～25分） •创造了丰富、合理的内容，富有逻辑性，续写完整，与原文情境融洽度高。 •使用了多样并且恰当的词汇和语法结构，可能有个别错误，但完全不影响理解。 •有效地使用了语句间衔接手段，全文结构清晰，意义连贯。 第四档（16～20分） •创造了比较丰富、合理的内容，比较有逻辑性，续写比较完整，与原文情境融洽度高。 •使用了比较多样并且恰当的词汇和语法结构，可能有些许错误，但不影响理解。 •比较有效地使用了语句间衔接手段，全文结构比较清晰，意义比较连贯。 第三档（11～15分） •创造了基本合理的内容，有一定的逻辑性，续写基本完整，与原文情境相关。 •使用了简单的词汇和语法结构，有一些错误或不恰当之处，但基本不影响理解。 •基本有效地使用了语句间衔接手段，全文结构基本清晰，意义基本连贯。 第二档（6～10分） •内容或逻辑上有一些重大问题，续写不够完整，与原文情境有一定程度脱节。 •所使用的词汇有限，语法结构单调，错误较多，影响理解。 •未能有效地使用语句间衔接手段，全文结构不够清晰，意义不够连贯。 第一档（1～5分） •内容或逻辑上有较多重大问题，或有部分内容抄自原文，续写不完整，与原文情境基本 脱节。 •所使用的词汇有限，语法结构单调，错误很多，严重影响理解。 •几乎没有使用语句间衔接手段，全文结构不清晰，意义不连贯。 零分 •未作答；所写内容太少或无法看清以致无法评判；所写内容全部抄自原文或与题目要求 完全不相关。 4 听力参考材料 Text 1 M: Honey, have you seen my car key anywhere?

Text 10 M: ⑰The Spanish “siesta” is a short nap in the early afternoon, typically after lunch. “The word ‘siesta’ comes from the Latin ‘sexta’, meaning the sixth hour after someone wakes up,” explained Dr. Dylan Petkus, a sleep researcher with Optimal Circadian Health. A siesta has been a traditional practice in many cultures for centuries, especially in Spain and Latin America. “I’ve lived in Spain for five years and have fully embraced the tradition”, said Jenoa Matthes, a travel expert. ⑱When Matthes first moved to Madrid, she was curious about this afternoon nap that much of the country seemed to take daily. “Coming from the US, where stopping in the middle of a workday to nap seemed unheard of, the idea of a siesta was quite foreign to me,” she said. ⑲“A nap, around 20 to 30 minutes, can improve our alertness and memory,” said Dr. Dylan Petkus. It’s like hitting a refresh button. “But beware—you don’t have to nap too long. You might experience sleep inertia, where you wake up feeling dizzy and lost,” he added. That means, a quick nap can boost your brainpower for the rest of the day. ⑳“An afternoon nap has many health benefits. These can include improvements in energy and alertness, productivity as well as reductions in errors and risk of accidents,” said a sleep researcher, Dr. Keith C. Summa.
