The forest is home to the endangered Red Colobus Monkey, and one of the tasks involves replanting fruit trees for them. Volunteers work on small renovation (翻新) projects and teach local school children about conservation. Hospital & Clinic Support in Kenya Price: $1,695 for two weeks This program, running from 2 to 12 weeks, is ideal for those keen to work in the healthcare sector (部门) in the long run. Depending on their qualifications, volunteers are placed in hospitals and clinics to provide much-needed support to doctors and nurses. Additionally, volunteers can be paired with healthcare providers to offer medical care in rural parts of Limuru. Environmental Conservation Project in Sri Lanka Price: $720 for one week As climate change worsens, travelers around the world are seeking sustainable accommodations and experiences. Being a part of this conservation project allows volunteers to witness and provide solutions to ecological damage in Sri Lanka. Volunteers will help reforest mangroves (红树林), take on beach and river cleanups, and educate the local communities on recycling. Women’s Empowerment and Community Volunteering in India Price: $1,566 for two weeks This two-to eight-week program allows volunteers to bring about a sense of independence in the disadvantaged women of Jaipur.

They get paired up by Cycling Without Age, an organization that helps seniors go for bike rides, even if they can’t pedal themselves. Hugh Lyon and David Lawrence who are roughly 20 years apart in age, have been riding together for years. The 56-year-old Lawrence serves as a “pilot”, driving the trishaw — a bike with a passenger scat in the front that Cycling Without Age uses for their rides. They go for rides about once a week often discussing the history of their town. “Despite my departed parents, it gives me a connection with people from an older generation.” said Lawrence. “And I enjoy spending time with them and hearing their stories.” The pair have formed a friendship outside of cycling. Lawrence said he called Lyon often and went to the gym with him to help him with exercises he couldn’t do on his own. Ole Kassow, who founded Cycling Without Age, said that’s the power of the program. “The truly powerful thing about these bike rides is that they tie people and stories together to create new relationships.” he told CBS News. “My friendships and the ability to form new relationships at any age are what define a good life, and often also a long and happy life.” John Boettner started the Santa Barbara chapter. He has one rule for passengers. “They say, ‘What does it cost if I’m going to go for a ride?’ I say. ‘Here’s what it costs: You have to wave. If you don’t wave, I’m going to kick you out,’” he joked. He said he liked when they hit red lights, because it gave them a chance to connect with people on the road. “Driving the trishaw is the best advertisement for Cycling Without Age”, Boettner said. “When you take a 101-year-old woman for a bike ride and she holds your hand tight and says thank you and gives you a kiss on the cheek, it doesn’t get any better than that.” 4. What does the term “pilot” refer to in the text? A. A driver of a trishaw. B. A group leader. C. A test version of a project. D. A professional airplane operator. 5. What is the main benefit of the bike rides for the younger riders? A. They learn more about world history. B. They get paid for their time. C. They form connections with the elderly. D. They improve their cycling skills. 6. Who first started Cycling Without Age? A. Hugh Lyon. B. David Lawrence. C. John Boettner. D. Ole Kassow. 7. Why does John Boettner require passengers to wave during the bike rides? A To keep them awake. B. To make them exercise. C. To promote the program. D. To signal to other drivers. C When you set up a bird feeder in your yard, you might think you’re simply providing a meal for your feathered friends. But a fascinating new study reveals that these seemingly simple devices have a complex history of design. Researchers in Finland have uncovered the surprising evolution (演变) of bird feeder design over the past century. The team examined Finnish newspapers and magazines from the late 19th century to the late 20th century, analyzing all content related to bird feeders. The study’s results paint a picture of constant innovation in bird feeder design. Early designs were simple, often just flat wooden boards. As bird feeding became more popular, designs became more complex. Roofs were added to provide protection for food during rain and snow days. Concerns about cats and other predators (捕食者) led to hanging designs and feeders mounted on tall poles In the mid-20th century, there was a shift towards excluding larger birds. Designs featured smaller openings or were made to be too small for larger birds to use comfortably. Perhaps the most significant change came in the 1980s, when concerns about salmonella (沙门氏菌) led to a complete rethinking of bird feeder design. New models prevented birds from sitting directly above the food, and materials shifted from wood to more easily cleaned metals and plastics While this study provides a fascinating look at the evolution of bird feeder design, it does have some limitations. The research focuses only on Finland, and practices may have differed in other countries. The study relies on published materials, which may not fully represent all bird feeder designs in use at any given time. This study demonstrated that the evolution of bird feeder design serves as a reminder of the unintended consequences of our interactions with nature. Every attempt to solve one problem — keeping out cats, excluding larger birds, or preventing disease transmission creates new challenges and motivates further innovation. 8. What did the Finnish researchers use to study bird feeder design evolution? A. Internet blog posts. B. Interviews with bird experts. C. Advertisements from bird feeder manufacturers. D. Finnish newspapers and magazines. 9. Why were bird feeders designed with roofs? A. To make them easier to clean. B. To attract a wider variety of birds. C. To prevent larger birds from using them. D. To protect the food from rain and snow. 10. What does the underlined word “excluding” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Including. B. Attracting. C. Preventing. D. Protecting. 11. Which of the following would be the best title for the text? A. The History of Bird Feeding B. The Evolution of Bird Feeder Design C. The Impact of Bird Feeders on Wildlife D. Innovations in Bird Feeding Techniques D We all know someone who never seems to be on time. But is there a good explanation for why some people are always late? The habit of being late probably results from a number of factors, including time perception (知觉), time management and personality, experts say. “It is likely that there’s a mechanism in the brain that causes some people to be late for meetings because they underestimate the time it will take them to get there,” said Hugo Spiers, a professor of cognitive neuroscience at University College London. “The hippocampus (海马体) is a region of the brain which processes some aspects of time, such as remembering when to do something and how long it takes,” Spiers said. Neurons in the hippocampus acting as “time cells” contribute to our perception and memory of events, but why exactly some people always underestimate time is unclear. One factor may be how familiar we are with space. For the 2017 study, Spiers asked 20 students who had newly moved to London to sketch a map of their college district and estimate travel time to different destinations. While the students’ space estimates expanded if they knew an area well, their estimates of travel time reduced with familiarity. “If you’re very familiar with a space, you start to discount the trouble it will take.” Spiers said. Another environmental factor may be crowdedness. In a 2022 study, researchers asked participants to estimate the length of more or less crowded simulated subway trips. They found that crowded commutes felt like they took 10% longer than less busy rides. Personality also plays a role in running late. Certain personality traits, such as reduced conscientiousness (责任), can cause some people to forget tasks that they had planned ahead of time. Another factor that may influence a person’s timeliness is his or her tendency to multitask. Research has shown that people who multitask are less likely to remember and complete other scheduled tasks on time. 12. What role does the hippocampus play according to the text? A. It processes time-related memory. B. It measures distance accurately. C. It helps with multitasking abilities. D. It predicts future events with precision. 13. What is the fourth paragraph mainly about? A. The importance of a college district. B. A study on the adaptation of new students. C. The effect of familiarity with space on time estimation. D. The influence of environmental factors on travel time. 14. Which of the following factors is least likely to be related to being late according to the text? A. Familiarity with space. B. The brain’s perception of time. C. The speed of a person’s walking. D. The crowdedness of public transportation. 15. In which section of a website can we probably read the text? A. Health Culture. B. Entertainment News. C. Education and Learning. D. Lifestyle and Psychology. 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。 Research shows that positively anticipating the future is a highly effective way to create positive emotions.

I whispered to it, “Hello, Mr. Nibbles. I already love you so much.” My mom reminded us that we were only watching him for a week or two since Mike from the grocery store, who was moving, found out at the last minute he couldn’t take the hamster with him. We had agreed to look after Mr. Nibbles until we found someone to take him in, even though we already had cats. I begged my parents to let us keep him, promising we wouldn’t let the cats near him. My brothers, Tex and Indi also joined in, offering to help clean his cage and ensure he had plenty of food and water. After exchanging looks, my mom announced, “Well, Mr. Nibbles, you may have found yourself a new home!” It took a few weeks for our fuzzy (毛茸茸的) friend to get comfortable. At first, he would only stick his head out of his nest area to take a little water and fill his cheeks with food. But once he settled in, he became happy and playful. When unhappy, he would also make a scritchy-scratchy (刺耳的) sound. Having Mr. Nibbles around made our summer way more fun. Before we knew it, it was time to return to school. I was excited to see friends I hadn’t seen in a long time, but I was also nervous about all the new things. To prepare, I planned to wake up early, put on my carefully laid-out clothes, eat my carefully chosen breakfast, make my carefully thought-out lunch, and place it in my carefully arranged backpack. I’d ride my carefully cleaned bike to school, enter my brand-new classroom, and feel confident. Everything was going according to plan until it wasn’t. My new teacher, Mr. Jax, who seemed very serious, started by going over the class rules. Then he asked each of us to say something about our summer. Most kids were shy after being apart for a while and only said a few words. 注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。 As Alice talked about her family’s road trip, I heard a familiar scritchy-scratchy sound coming from under my desk. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Luckily, even though Mr. Jax was serious, he was also really nice. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 铜川市王益中学2024~2025学年第二学期高二年级期末考试 英语试卷 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：高考范围。 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.

School English Newspaper 第二节（满分25分） 【47题答案】 【答案】One possible version: As Alice talked about her family’s road trip, I heard a familiar scritchy-scratchy sound coming from under my desk. Was I imagining it? I opened my backpack and quickly closed it again. I had no idea when, why, or how Mr. Nibbles got into my backpack, but there he was! My heart started beating super fast, and my stomach felt super uncomfortable. This was definitely not how my first day back at school was supposed to go! Mr. Jax noticed and asked if I was all right. Now everyone was looking at me, and I wanted to disappear. Once I was calm enough, I explained what was going on. Luckily, even though Mr. Jax was serious, he was also really nice. He found a deep bin, put a box and a little bowl of water in it, and asked the class if anyone had ideas to help Mr. Nibbles feel more comfortable. As we discussed ways to help Mr. Nibbles, I realized we all seemed to be relaxing a little. Trying to figure out how to help Mr. Nibbles helped all of us feel less anxious. It wasn’t too bad. It was an impressive day. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
