B When people think about surfing, they imagine a young person riding the waves standing on a surfboard. Another special form of surfing, which is easier on your knees, is bodyboarding where the surfer rides a specially designed bodyboard lying on the stomach. This sport is gaining popularity because of its appeal (吸引力) to people of all ages. As people age, it’s common to lose confidence and develop a sharp sense of fear when beginning physical activities, especially those like surfing. Some surfing programs aim to fight these concerns by providing expert guidance and developing a sense of social connection while offering health benefits to seniors. But they’re about more than just exercise. There’s a social function that is particularly important to seniors. It’s really important to get older people in the water and get them active. A group of women in Western Australia take to the surf every week. These women who are called Granny Grommets have been riding waves in Albany for 25 years. The group began when founder Kim Buttfield was teaching a mom and daughter to surf, and some older women approached her and curiously asked, “What about us?” Buttfield decided to teach these women bodyboarding because it is easier on aging knees than standing on a surfboard. She said that there are only two requirements for joining: a positive attitude and members that have to be at least 50 years old. There are now more than 100 women in the group including Glenn Scott who became a member when she was 80. “All you need for a Granny Grommet is a bodyboard and a laugh across your face,” Scott said. Granny Grommets have inspired other senior surfing groups around Australia and even have gone global. There are groups in South Africa and even as far north as France. This shows that all you need is surf, a board, and determination to ride the waves at any age. 4. What makes bodyboarding special? A. Its speed of surfing. B. Its competition rules. C. The ages of the participants. D. The position on the skateboard. 5. What do the surfing programs mentioned in paragraph 2 aim to do? A. Offer expert guidance to professional surfers. B. Tell the youth about health benefits of surfing. C. Help older people overcome fears and keep active. D. Encourage social connections among young surfers. 6. What could we infer about the older women from the question “What about us?”? A. They disliked surfing. B. They desired to learn surfing. C. They were fearful of surfing. D. They were experienced in surfing. 7. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Being a Popular Surfer B. Getting the Elderly into the Surf C. Joining in Women’s Surfing Programs D. Pushing Seniors to Attend a Global Surfing Event C Britain was once covered with rainforests, known as Celtic rainforests or Atlantic woodland. The temperate (温带的) rainforests only occur in places close to the sea with high rainfall, high humidity (湿度) and low variations in temperature and full of plants and animals. The Celtic rainforests used to spread out all across the wetter areas of the country’s west. But over the centuries the ancient woodlands were later cleared and changed into grasslands for sheep and cattle. By the start of the 20th century, Britain had become the least-wooded country in Europe, with only small parts remaining in western coastal rainforest areas. There’s a new rainforest coming back to Britain right now. A movement is underway across Britain to recover these forgotten ecosystems. And in Devon, the first step towards achieving that has just been completed. With the help of over 100 local volunteers, more than 2,500 native trees have been planted at Devon Wildlife Trust’s Bowden Pillars site, not far from the town of Totnes. It’s hoped that another 4,500 oak, rowan, alder, hazel, birch, willow and holly trees will be planted by the end of this winter and over the coming decades, and that they’ll grow to form a thriving (欣欣向荣的) temperate rainforest. The recovery programme, led by The Wildlife Trusts, is happening across other parts of the country, including Cornwall and Pembrokeshire and has been boosted by a significant £38 million of funding from an insurance company. Claire Inglis, a nature reserve officer at Devon Wildlife Trust, said, “The full grown temperate rainforest will take several decades to become established, but the advantages for nature will be much swifter. The mix of young trees planted among grasslands and hedges (树篱), along with our promise not to use chemicals, will be better for local butterflies and bees, along with local birds such as yellowhammers and barn owls. It will be fascinating to see how it develops.” 8. What was mainly responsible for Britain’s lost Celtic rainforest in the past? A. Low temperature. B. Animal farming. C. Plant variation. D. High humidity. 9. What can we say about the movement across Britain? A. It’s worrying. B. It’s promising. C. It’s unrealistic. D. It’s uncontrollable. 10. What does the underlined word “swifter” in the last paragraph mean? A. Further. B. More unlikely. C. Quicker. D. More costly. 11. Which can be the best title for the text? A. A Story of Destruction About Britain’s Lost Rainforests B. The Challenges of Reviving Celtic Rainforests in Britain C. A Nationwide Effort to Revive Lost Rainforests in Britain D. The Truth of the Disappearance of Britain’s Celtic Rainforests D In 2020, scientists claimed to have found a sign of life on Venus (金星): a smelly gas called phosphine that’s made by tiny living things on Earth. The claim was quickly stirring up disagreement. Now, another smelly gas is making waves in the search for alien (外星的) life — now turning to a planet beyond our solar system. Researchers announced on April 16 that they had used data from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) to discover a gas called dimethyl sulfide (DMS) in the atmosphere of a distant planet called K2-18b. On Earth, DMS is mostly made by tiny ocean plants. On other planets, it could be what’s called a biosignature (生命印记) . The University of Cambridge, which hosts several of the researchers involved in the discovery, was quick to promote the finding as the strongest sign of biological activity outside the solar system. Some media agents followed suit to publicize the DMS as a likely sign of life. But scientists not involved in the discovery aren’t as overjoyed. For Clara Sousa-Silva an astrochemist at Bard College who has weathered the storm of the Venus biosignature debate in 2020, she now watches history repeat itself. “The situation is disappointingly familiar. We did not learn enough from the ‘phosphine on Venus’ event,” she said. Those scientists use JWST to discover gases in K2-18b’s atmosphere by analyzing how starlight changes as it passes through K2-18b’s atmosphere. Each gas leaves unique marks in the light, which appear as squiggly lines on special graphs. They compared these lines to 20 different molecules (分子). Sousa-Silva pointed most of the molecules aren’t structurally similar to DMS. National Geographic contacted some experts to find out what to make of this new biosignature claim. Their views are represented: It’s an interesting discovery, perhaps even an important step on the way to discovering life on other planets one day. They stressed on “one day”. 12. Why did the researchers consider DMS as a sign of life? A. It is mostly made up of phosphine. B. It is just as smelly as phosphine on Venus. C. It was found on K2-18b that has living things. D. It is mainly produced by living things on Earth. 13. What is Clara Sousa-Silva’s attitude to the new biosignature claim? A. Doubtful. B. Excited. C. Confused. D. Uncaring. 14. How did scientists identify DMS in K2-18b’s atmosphere? A. By observing ocean plants on K2-18b. B. By directly collecting gas from K2-18b. C. By studying starlight passing through its atmosphere. D. By matching it with 20 molecules of similar structure. 15. What can be inferred from the experts’views in the last paragraph? A. Findings from JWST’s are quite disappointing. B. More evidence is needed to confirm the claim. C. They believe that life surely exists on K2-18b. D. They confirm the discovery a big achievement. 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。 Here are great ideas on how parents can keep their kids active even on the coldest days of the year.

However, learning Chinese was much harder than he thought. The characters looked like a puzzle, and the different tones (声调) confused him. Every Chinese class was a struggle, and Paul felt disappointed. Our classmates tried to help, but it was hard for them to understand each other. One day, after a difficult lesson, Paul sat down sadly. He felt like giving up. That’s when I, his partner, decided to step in. I loved languages and was good at making difficult things easier to understand. I could see how upset Paul was, so I went up to him. “Paul, I know Chinese is hard, but I believe you can do it,” I said. “Let’s study together.” Paul looked a little doubtful but felt grateful. We started meeting after school. I shared some tips on how to remember characters and practice tones. Slowly, Paul began to improve, but he still had trouble speaking. One day, while we were practicing, Paul stopped and said, “I still find it difficult to open my mouth to speak with our classmates freely.” He looked discouraged. I gently reminded him, “Paul, remember why you came here. You wanted to experience China, and learning the language is part of that.” He nodded. Just then, our Chinese teacher walked by and overheard our conversation. He smiled and said, “Paul, speaking is the key to learning any language. Don’t be afraid to make mistakes.” His words gave Paul some encouragement. We continued practicing, and I had an idea. “Let’s try something different,” I suggested. “We’ll visit a local market and practice speaking with the vendors (摊贩). Maybe you’ll meet someone at the market, who can help you practice speaking in real situations. It’ll be more interesting than just studying in the classroom.” 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。 At the market, Paul was nervous but excited. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Weeks later, our Chinese teacher announced there would be a class speech on Chinese culture. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 高一英语考试 注意事项： 1.答题前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号、考场号、座位号填写在答题卡上。 2.回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 3.考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 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。 例: How much is the shirt?

We held a flag-raising ceremony, followed by a history lecture about the CPC’s contributions to China’s development. Students also performed patriotic songs and dramas, which moved many of us deeply. In the afternoon, we visited a local revolutionary museum, where we learned more about the Party’s early struggles and achievements. I felt truly inspired by these events because they helped me understand how the CPC has shaped modern China. Although I’ve attended similar celebrations before, this year’s activities were especially meaningful as they combined education with emotional connection. Yours, Li Hua 第二节（满分 25分） 【47题答案】 【答案】One possible version: At the market, Paul was nervous but excited. The lively atmosphere filled with colorful stalls and enthusiastic vendors immediately drew him in. I encouraged him to order some fruits in Chinese. At first, his pronunciation was shaky, but the elderly vendor, noticing his effort, patiently corrected him with a warm smile. By the third stall, Paul was confidently bargaining for souvenirs using simple sentences. A tea shop owner even invited us to taste different varieties, explaining their cultural significance in slow Mandarin. That day, Paul didn’t just practice language — he discovered how communication bridges cultures. Weeks later, our Chinese teacher announced there would be a class speech on Chinese culture. To everyone’s surprise, Paul volunteered immediately. He spent days preparing, incorporating market experiences into his speech about “The Beauty of Daily Communication”. When he stood before the class, his tones were clear, and his gestures lively as he described how a street food vendor taught him the difference between baozi and jiaozi. The classroom erupted in applause. Later, the teacher praised his progress as “the magic of courage meeting opportunity,” and Paul whispered to me, “Now I understand mistakes are just steps to success.” 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
