While all her classmates were flying through the 2nd and 3rd books in the Harry Potter series, Skye Malik, only on page four of the first book, got impossibly stuck on the word “doughnut”. Her unexpected difficulty with reading is called dyslexia. Skye got a professional diagnosis at the end of the 2nd grade. Knowing that other kids were going through the same thing made it easier on her somehow. What wasn't easy, even after all the help she got from special tutors and reading programs, was fluent reading. What many people do without thinking-reading-she had to struggle with word by word, sometimes letter by letter. In class, she would hear the other kids flip through the pages on assignments and go on to the questions while she was still doing battle with the first paragraph. She was as frustrated as she was discouraged. But she didn't know of any other way until her 4th grade teacher, Miss Pollock, told her about something called Learning Ally. Learning Ally is a non-profit organization that offers audio versions of books. A crew of volunteer readers has recorded 75,000 classic novels, children's books, and school textbooks that help more than 300,000 students and adults with learning differences or who are blind. Now Skye could listen to the books with her ears and follow the words with her eyes on the page. Instead of having her mother read her textbooks to her, she could independently do her work.“With Learning Ally, I feel confident and capable and can easily keep up with my classmates," Skye explains,“and I want other kids to feel empowered, just the way I did.” So Skye, now aged 16, created The Paco Project which was named after her grandfather, whose nickname was“Paco”.The Paco Project is a fundraiser and educational initiative focusing on giving students with dyslexia access to the same Learning Ally technology that changed her life. Skye has realized that she is one of the lucky kids who have been diagnosed. She knows that educating teachers about dyslexia and giving students with the learning challenge the tools they need is a 延 区2024—2025学 高一（下）期末考试 英语试卷 第3页 共8页 great first step in meeting dyslexia head on, and helping them be confident, capable students. “Right now they feel stuck-ashamed, unsure and insecure about their school work.

There is little doubt that Earth is getting warmer and warmer (see the graph). Awarming ocean and atmosphere along with melting ice and rising sea levels provide evidence of a dramatic change in the global climate. In 2013,a lot of people were shocked by a news photo of a dead polar bear that was found on Norway's Arctic island of Svalbard. According to the scientists who found its dead body, all that remained of the polar bear was“skin and bones”. An expert who has studied polar bears for many years said that from the position of its dead body, the bear appeared to have starved and died. Experts claimed that low sea-ice levels caused by climate change meant the bear could not hunt seals as before, so it had to travel greater distancesin order to find food. This alarming case showed how the increase in temperature had an impact on Earth's ecology. Then what is causing the increase in the global average surface temperature? Climate scientists often 延 区2024—2025学 高一（下）期末考试 英语试卷 第4页 共8页 mention a key climate process called the“greenhouse effect”,which has two common meanings: the “natual”greenhouse effect and the "man-made”greenhouse effect. The“natural”greenhouse effect refers to the fact that heat from the sun enters the atmosphere and warms Earth's surface as short-wave radiation.The heat is released back into space at longer wave lengths. Greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, such as methane and carbon dioxide, trap some of the heat, keeping Earth's climate warm and habitable. Without this process, Earth could not sustain life. However, the“man-made”greenhouse effect has now become a big problem. When people produce huge amounts of extra greenhouse gases by burning fossil fuels, more heat energy is trapped in the atmosphere and causes Earth's surface temperature to rise quickly. There is strong and comprehensive evidence that the rise in temperature has led to an increase in extreme weather and natural disasters worldwide, not only causing serious damage, but also costing human lives. Climate scientists have warned that if we do not take appropriate actions, this warming trend will probably continue and there will be a higher price to pay. In fact, news reports are frequcntly broadcast ubout extreme rainstorms and heatwaves causing deaths and economic losses. Continued greenhouse gas emissions will result in further warming and long-lasting changes to the global climate. This requires the attention of people all over the world. Governments need to consider making policies and taking appropriate actions and measures to reduce grecnhouse gas emissions. We as individuals can also reduce our“carbon footprint”by rcstricting the amount of carbon dioxide our lifestyles produce. It is our responsibility to seize every opportunity to educate everyone about global warming, along with its causcs and impacts, because this is the most serious issue affecting all of us on this planet. So what will you do to help? 18.What directly causcd the death of the polar bear in Svalbard according to scientist? A.A sudden discase outbreak in the Arctic. B.Inability to hunt seals due to reduced sea ice. C.Competition from other predators for food. D.Extreme heatwaves melting its habitat. 19.Why is the“natural”greenhouse effect important and necessary? A.Because it traps heat to keep Earth's climate warm enough for life. B.Because it stops the rise of sea levels and melting ice on Earth. C.Because it creates ideal conditions for polar bear habitats. D.Because it cools down the planet's surface. 20.What are the consequences of high greenhouse gas emissions? A.Lower carbon footprints in people's daily lives. B.The decrease in extreme weather events worldwide. C.Rising global temperatures and more natural disasters. 延 区2024—2025学 高一（下）期末考试 英语试卷 第5页 共8页 D.The improvement of Earth's ecology and sea ice levels. 21.Which would be the best title for the passage?

It is also highly popular due to the individualized effects on stress and anxiety. The mental health benefits from music can't be argued. Music could also be helping you with many otherhealth problems behind the scenes. Some experts say that music can be harmful if it is too loud. However, for the same reason，music can be very beneficial if one is in pain.By distracting（ 心）the mind from the pain, music, people say, can lower stress and anxiety levels. This, of course, can lead to less pain. Many people enjoy relaxing music in the evening prior to going to bed. They say it can play a big role in calming the brain enough to sleep.While the validity of the idea is still being assessed, the lowered stress can even be tied back to blood pressure. Similarly, according to researchers, listening to just 30 minutes of soft music every day may help with healthy blood sugar levels,through the lowering of stress and anxiety. When it comes to heart health，there is speculation（推测）that it's not the style of music, but rather the tempo（ ）that makes it so good for your heart health.In one European study, participants listened to music as the researchers monitored their heart rates and blood pressure. Interestingly, the more cheerful the music was, the faster their heart rates were.On the other hand, when the music slowed, the participants' stress and anxiety levels became lower and the effects on heart rates appeared to follow suit. The implications of music on overall well-being are really impressive. But there is a whole range of other health issues that turning up the radio could be beneficial for, which is what makes music so valuable. 具 要 回答下 问题， 答题 相 题号 的横线上写下相关信 。 22.How can music help reduce pain according to some people? 23.What are the possible effects of listening to relaxing music before bed? 24.In the European study, what was the relationship between music tempo andparticipants' heart rates? 延 区2024—2025学 高一（下）期末考试 英语试卷 第6页 共8页 25.In your daily life, what benefits can music bring you? 四、语法填空（共 10小题，每小题 1.5 ，共 15 ） 26.Like great athletes or scientists, great teachers have the ability (inspire) others as well. 27.The park was full of people (enjoy) themselves in the sunshine. 28.
