Visit in the spring, and you’ll see waterfalls; come in the summer, and you’ll enjoy wildflowers; or arrive in the fall when the leaves put on a colorful show. Joshua Tree National Park Named for the trees native to the park, 1,200-square-mile Joshua Tree National Park in California is slightly larger than the state of Rhode Island. Much of the park is wilderness and includes parts of two deserts, the higher Mojave Desert and the lower Colorado Desert. There are 12 self-guided nature trails (小径), some as short as a half-mile, perfect for young children. Bryce Canyon (峡谷) National Park Despite its name, Bryce Canyon National Park in Utah is not a canyon at all. Instead, it is a collection of giant natural rocks up to 150 feet high. The red, orange and white colors of the rocks make for breathtaking views throughout the park. You can explore the rock formations on a scenic drive or up close and personally on a hike. Grand Teton National Park Located in Wyoming, Grand Teton National Park is home to various wildlife like bears, moose, otters and elk. There are several stand-out hiking trails. This park is connected to Yellowstone National Park by the John D. Rockefeller Jr. Memorial Parkway, so it’s incredibly easy to visit both parks in one trip. 1. Where is Joshua Tree National Park? A. In California. B. In Washington. C. In Wyoming. D. In Utah. 2. What is Bryce Canyon National Park famous for? A. Huge waterfalls. B. Various wildlife. C. Unique rocks. D. Mojave Desert. 3. Which of the following is closest to Yellowstone National Park? A. Joshua Tree National Park. B. Grand Teton National Park. C. Bryce Canyon National Park. D. Mount Rainier National Park. B Finnish Lapland, in the far north of Europe, is home to some 180, 000 people and around 200, 000 reindeer (驯鹿) . The animals live wild but each one has an owner, identified by a mark on its ear. Anne Ollila, 50, one of 4, 000 such owners, works in the Finnish part of this region with her husband and two adult sons and their families. They farm the animals mainly for meat, but reindeer tourism has also become an important source of income. Ollila lives 80 kilometres inside the Arctic Circle, an hour from Lapland’s capital city, Rovaniemi, and seven kilometres from her nearest neighbour. Summer days — when the reindeer raisers earmark newborn reindeer—are long and in June the sun never sets. At that time Ollila sleeps during the day and walks up to 20 kilometres a night through the forest, making the most of the cooler temperatures to do her work but having to endure large groups of insects along the way. In deepest winter, there is little daylight. Many grasslands are frozen and the reindeer move into the forest for protection against wolves and golden eagles — the birds can kill an adult reindeer. Ollila and her family offer tourists reindeer experiences through their company Reindeer Journey. Visitors can get close to the animals in the wild or at their farm, watching them being trained to pull sledges (雪橇) or take a sleigh ride. “Reindeer are very smart animals, ” Ollila says. “They have different personalities, and some are very funny. ” One of her favourites is Rocky, named after the movie boxing legend. “He’s very curious and always in trouble, ” she says. “He once got himself stuck in tree branches and had to be lifted out, and he has been known to walk off with his owners’ drying underwear. ” Ollila gave up her job as a sociology researcher at the University of Lapland in 2010 to devote herself to raising reindeer. “I love the environment, the animals and the freedom, ” she says. “Also, I have a sense of belonging to something bigger than me, to a way of life through the generations. ” 4. What does the underlined word “endure” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Go away with. B. Put up with. C. Look forward to. D. Catch up with. 5. Why do the reindeer move into the forest in winter according to the text? A. To protect themselves. B. To find their owners. C. To get earmarked. D. To avoid cold temperatures. 6. What does Ollila think of Rocky? A. He is afraid of his owner. B. He is a famous filmmaker. C. He is interested in planting trees. D. He is a troublemaker. 7. What can we infer about Ollila from the last paragraph? A. She has been a sociology researcher since 2010. B. She has long been tired of raising reindeer. C. She has a deep feeling for nature. D. She had no chance to receive a college education. C Over the years, movies and books have used tornadoes to sweep their characters off to magical lands, to destroy entire cities, or to defeat a superhero’s dangerous super villain (恶棍) . All of these tornadoes have one thing in common: They are incredibly powerful. They can have wind speeds over 300 miles per hour (mph) , grow over a mile wide, and travel over 50 miles. They are incredibly dangerous and should be avoided at all costs. Scientists can’t go inside tornadoes, which means that they are extremely hard to research. As a result, we know surprisingly little about them. In order to tell how powerful a tornado is, scientists look at how much destruction it causes. Scientists then rank the tornado on the Enhanced Fujita Scale (级别) (EF-Scale) , which ranges fromEF0 to EF5. For example, a tornado that only damages trees but doesn’t significantly damage buildings would be rated EFO with wind speeds between 65 and 85 mph. A tornado that blows away buildings and tears up sidewalks, on the other hand, would be rated EF5 with wind speeds over 200 mph. The most powerful tornado in United States history occurred near Oklahoma City in 1999. It had wind speeds over 310 mph, the highest wind speed ever recorded on Earth. A tornado with wind speeds that high can not only pick up and throw automobiles, but also knock over trains and tear up roadways. Luckily for anyone living in an area that experiences the occasional tornadoes, they usually only last one to ten minutes. More powerful tornadoes can last over an hour in the right conditions, but they are very rare. If you find yourself experiencing a tornado, find a safe place inside, like an interior hall, basement or closet. Stay away from windows and heavy objects that could fall on you, and lie on your stomach with your hands protecting the back of your head. Having a tornado emergency plan is extremely important as tornadoes can appear very quickly. Make sure to listen to the radio or television to stay updated on serious weather patterns in your area. 8. Which of the following is probably the wind speed of an EF4 tornado? A. 200 mph. B. 85 mph. C. 65 mph. D. 310 mph. 9. What can we learn from the example given in paragraph 3? A. Oklahoma City had no trains in 1999. B. American cars need developing. C. Tornadoes can do great harm. D. The strongest tornado occurred in the UK. 10. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. What to do during a tornado. B. How a tornado forms. C. What a tornado is. D. How to recognize a tornado. 11. Where is the text most probably taken from? A A guidebook. B. A science report. C. A movie review. D. A history book. D When Adele released (发行) her 2011 single Someone Like You, this bittersweet song is popular with millions worldwide. More than a decade later, it remains one of her most popular songs. Her artistry, as well as that of many others who have mastered the art of making listeners feel moved with slow and emotional beats, has a way of managing the emotional pain of heartbreak and loss. Listening to favorite songs could also reduce people’s feelings of pain, according to a new study published in the journal Frontiers in Pain Research. And the most effective pain relievers were found to be sad songs detailing bittersweet and emotional experiences. “It doesn’t take the place of medicine when you have a headache, but music can help reduce your pain,” said Patrick Stroman, a professor at Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario. He didn’t join in the study. “Unlike other medications,” he noted, “there is no side effect or risk in listening to music (just keep the volume at a reasonable level).” The small study invited 63 young adults to bring one of their favorite songs. The researchers also had the young adults pick one of seven songs that the team considered relaxing and were unfamiliar to the study participants. All the while, the researchers stuck a hot object — similar to the pain of a boiling hot teacup on the participants’ skin — to their left inner forearms. When rating their experiences, people were more likely to report feeling less pain when listening to their favorite songs compared with hearing the unfamiliar relaxing songs. With millions of songs available, one person’s favorite song is likely not the same as another. After interviewing the participants about the song they brought and their rating of pain, the researchers found people who listened to bittersweet and moving songs felt less pain than when they listened to songs with calming or cheerful themes (主题). “It’s a very cool result,” said lead study author Darius Valevicius, a doctoral student of neurosciences at the University of Montreal. “I think it’s why I myself and probably many people choose to listen to bittersweet or even spiritual music.” 12. Why does the author mention Adele in the first paragraph? A. To reach a conclusion. B. To lead in the topic. C. To offer a suggestion. D. To provide the background. 13. What is Stroman’s attitude to the effect of listening to music? A. Doubtful. B. Positive. C. Unclear. D. Unconcerned. 14. What did the participants do in the new study? A. They reported their feelings of pain. B. They interviewed many musicians. C. They made various kinds of teacups. D. They picked out the music they don't like. 15. Which is the most suitable title for the text? A When Is the Best Time to Listen to Music? B. How Do You Create Popular Songs Quickly? C. The Best Way to Reduce Pain Might Be to Write Music D. Certain Types of Music Could Help You Feel Less Pain 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。 Is there a right or wrong way on how to view art?

He used to live with his parents. He was frustrated with his parents blaming him for every little thing he did at home. While waiting for the interview, he was thinking, “Only if I succeed in today’s interview will I say goodbye to my parents’ house and settle down in the big city, which will let me avoid having to listen to my parents’ complaints about little things all the time.” He started thinking about little things his parents used to blame him for— How his mother asked him to make his bed after he woke up. If he left the bathroom door open, his mother would ask him to close the door and before that check if the tap was turned off properly. How his father asked him to switch off the fan or light switch before he left. How his mother always blamed him for not keeping things at the right places. While thinking about all these, he thought, “Why should I listen to their words? Why should I do all these? If I get a job, I will definitely leave their home.” When looking around, Max saw that there were many candidates (应试者) sitting in that office. He saw that the light in the office was still on and it was ten o’clock in the morning. Remembering his father’s words, he got up and switched off the light. When he saw that water was falling from the water cooler kept at the office, he went to turn off the tap properly. It was time to go up to the second floor for the interview, everyone went upstairs in turn. On the way up the stairs, a chair stood in the way, and the other candidates bypassed it, but Max removed it, set it aside, and walked to the second floor. Now, as Max waited outside, he saw the candidates in front of him keep going in and coming out immediately. After talking to these people, he learned that the interviewers didn’t ask them anything. 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。 It was Max’s turn to be interviewed. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After the interview, Max reached home and hugged his parents. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 灵武市第一中学2024~2025学年高二年级第一学期十一月月考试卷 英语 考生注意： 1.本试卷分选择题和非选择题两部分。满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 2.答题前，考生务必用直径0.5毫米黑色墨水签字笔将密封线内项目填写清楚。 3.考生作答时，请将答案答在答题卡上。选择题每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑；非选择题请用直径0.5毫米黑色墨水签字笔在答题卡上各题的答题区域内作答，超出答题区域书写的答案无效，在试题卷、草稿纸上作答无效。 4.本卷命题范围：外研版必修第三册Unit 3~选择性必修第一册Unit 1. 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.

It’s a day I won’t forget, and it’s a great reminder to find humor in life’s small things. Thank you for listening! 第二节（满分25分） 【47题答案】 【答案】One possible version： It was Max’s turn to be interviewed. He went inside and passed his file to the interviewers. After looking at his file, an interviewer asked, “When are you joining?” A wave of surprise flooded into Max’s mind. Looking at his face, the interviewer said, “Today, in interviews, no one was asked anything. We noticed everyone came but no one switched off the tap or light except you. You have good values and habits. This is what we evaluate most.” After the interview, Max reached home and hugged his parents. He told them about the interview and the result. He apologized to them and thanked them. He said, “In my life, my degree has less value in comparison to the lessons I have learned from you because of your strict demand on small matters. Today, I come to know that not only education but good habits and values have their own importance if I want to succeed in life. A person who doesn’t have self-disciplines, no matter how smart he is, can’t succeed in his life.” 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
