B An embroidered (刺绣的) butterfly made by Liang Zhongmei is so lifelike that it could easily be mistaken for the real thing. It looks as if it could flap its colorful wings and fly free from its white cloth background. This 55-year-old embroiderer from Guizhou Province was born in a closed and underdeveloped village deep in the mountains, where most residents live by farming or as migrant workers. Losing her left arm at a very young age meant she could not feed herself, but she refused to become downhearted, and learned embroidery from her mother diligently and determinedly. After producing several works featuring butterflies and goldfish, she won many national professional skills awards in 2011 among people with disabilities. In 2012, she opened her workshop, with embroiderers putting their designs on the shelves to sell to locals, but business was poor. However, Liang’s career prospered after an online commercial order. Now, clothes, ties, paintings and handicrafts produced by the workshop are sold to consumers worldwide via e-commerce platforms, with profit reaching from 300,000 yuan to 500,000 yuan annually. As the number of orders rose, Liang employed more workers, offering jobs to more than 100 female embroiderers in the neighborhood. She has also organized training courses for jobless women. “Thanks to the online buyers, our products sell well, which has changed our lives and brought us income and dignity,” Liang said. Wang Danqing, an online seller, has worked with Liang’s team since 2015. She said, “Many young consumers prefer products with cultural elements and personal appeal. Only by combining embroidered designs with modern life can cultural heritage be seen, loved, protected and passed down.” 24．What do we know about Liang Zhongmei? A．She made a fortune when her business began. B．She became world-famous after winning awards. C．She was strong-willed while learning embroidery. D．She was brought up in a well-off environment. 25．Which of the following can replace the underlined word in paragraph 4? A．took off. B．went wrong. C．held steady. D．broke down. 26．What can we learn from Wang Danqing’s words? A．New designs need to be integrated into the products. B．Expanding the range of product sales online is crucial. C．It is Liang’s duty to pass on the embroidered technique. D．Products with personal elements are favored by the youth. 27．What is the main idea of the text? A．Online shopping gains popularity in China. B．Young people take a great interest in embroidery. C．Liang became an expert in embroidery despite her disability. D．Disabled Liang achieved success by trading embroidery online. C Harvesting fruit is a very precise operation. The fruit must be picked when it is perfectly ripe. But with pickers in short supply in recent years. growers needed to quickly find another way to harvest their crops. Tevel Aerobotics Technologies came to the farmers’ rescue with the Flying Autonomous Robots (FARs) that can help pick fruit. “Not finding enough fruit pickers is every farmer’s biggest concern,” Yaniv Maor, Tevel’s founder and CEO said. Ask any farmer, anywhere in the world and they’ll tell you they don’t have the people. Food consumption is increasing, but labor availability(劳动力可用性) is decreasing. If pickers are not available. fruit will go bad on the trees. The flying robots will work day and night in almost any weather, without taking a break, to pick as much ripe fruit as possible. Maor set up Tevel in 2017 and developed the technology after seeing young Israelis pick fruit and get tired after a few hours. He realized that there had to be a better way, so he began developing the software and artificial intelligence (AI) that are needed for the smart robot pickers. “We have to teach the robots about the structure of each fruit how to access the fruit and how to rotate(转动) it and disconnect it from the tree,” Maor said. The flying robots circle round trees and pick only the ripe ones with a twist(扭动) of their integrated grasper arms. The robots are fitted with cameras that USC AI to assess the size and color of the fruit so that only the ripe ones are picked. The cameras also ensure that the robots’ paths are not blocked. The robots arc currently picking Asian pears in Israel. In 2022, the FARs were used in pilot programs in Italy to pick peaches and other fruits, as well as in the US. They are not a replacement for labor, instead, they are a solution for the inadequate human pickers. In the future fewer people will work in picking and more will work in managing the robots, analyzing the data and making decisions. 28．Why are the FARs developed? A．To meet the shortage of pickers to pick fruit. B．To improve the software and AI for smart robots. C．To help farmers keep the fruit in perfect condition. D．To relieve farmers from the tiredness of picking fruit. 29．What can we infer from paragraphs 2 and 3? A．Maor developed the FARs out of curiosity. B．The FARs can produce more fruit for food consumption. C．Labor shortage is an urgent problem in every country. D．The FARs can work without stop in almost any weather. 30．What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about? A．How the robots work. B．What the robots consist of. C．Why the robots are useful. D．Where the robots are used. 31．What is the author’s attitude towards the FARs? A．Doubtful. B．Positive. C．Worried. D．Unclear. D Tourists visiting La Gomera and El Hierro in the Canary Islands can often hear locals communicating over long distances by whistling — not a tune, but the Spanish language. The locals are communicating in Silbo, a whistled Spanish language. Whistled languages are almost developed in rough, mountainous regions or in thick forest. That’s because whistled speech carries much farther than ordinary speech or shouting. As a result, whistled speech can be understood up to 10 times as far away as ordinary shouting. That lets people communicate even when they cannot easily approach close enough to shout. On La Gomera, for example, a few traditional shepherds (牧羊人) still whistle to one another across mountain valleys that could take hours to cross. Whistled languages work because many of the key elements of speech can be produced in a whistle, says Meyer. We distinguish (区分) one speech sound from another by small differences in their sound frequency patterns. A long e, for example, is formed higher in the mouth than a long o, giving it a higher sound. To language scientists, such languages are more than just a curiosity. By studying whistled languages, they hope to learn more about how our brains get meaning from the complex sound patterns of speech. Whistling may even provide a chance to know one of the most dramatic jump forward in human evolution (进化): the origin of language itself. Despite their interest to both language experts and casual observers, whistled languages are disappearing rapidly all over the world, and some, such as the whistled form of the Tepehua language in Mexico, have already disappeared. “... now you still find whistled speech only in places that are very, very remote, that have had less contact with modernity and less access to roads,” Meyer says. Fortunately, there is still hope. UNESCO, the UN cultural organization, has listed two whistled languages, Silbo, and a whistled Turkish, as the world’s cultural heritage. Such attention can lead to conservation efforts. 32．What led to the development of whistled languages? A．Geographic inaccessibility. B．Rapid increase in tourism. C．Greater information capacity. D．Interest of language experts. 33．Why are a long “e” and a long “o” mentioned in paragraph 3? A．To show what key elements speech has. B．To explain the differences between speech sound frequency patterns. C．To prove the popularity of whistled language in the world. D．To compare whistled languages and ordinary languages. 34．What might be a reason for the disappearance of whistled languages according to Meyer? A．Construction of cities. B．Lack of attention. C．Expansion of other cultures. D．Modernization. 35．Which of the following could be the best title for the text? A．Protecting whistles B．How Whistles Languages Disappeared C．Speaking in whistles D．Why Whistled Languages Matter 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 It is often a complex and tiring task to live a healthy life, but that isn’t always the case. 36． It’s time to change the classroom environment for the health of the children. 37． It’s not surprising that sitting for long as a child is associated with health problems as an adult. Fortunately, there’s a simple, overlooked solution to these problems — standing classrooms. Over the last few years, a number of studies have shown that the benefits of the increased range of movement students experience when using standing desks are surprisingly broad. 38． Besides, standing desks encourage higher levels of teamwork and participation among students. Standing desks also help to reduce the risk of some diseases. They can help to prevent fatness, heart disease and low spirits. Sedentary (久坐的) lifestyles are a major reason why teenagers suffer from poor mental health, while higher activity levels reduce the chances of a child experiencing such an illness. The benefits of bringing standing desks into classrooms are obvious. 39． Otherwise they will likely hurt their muscles when standing for a long time. Standing desks usually offer a full range of motion, which includes the option to sit or lean (倾斜身体) without losing eye-level of the rest of the class, and that full range of motion is important. Sitting isn’t horrible. It isn’t a thing we should never do. The problem is that we do it too much, and so do our children, which makes children less likely to succeed and keep healthy. 40． A．It is time for us to stand up to stay healthy. B．But it is important for children to use them gradually. C．Children spend most of their school day sitting at desks. D．Thus it’s necessary to break up the sitting with standing desks. E．Something as cheap as a desk could be making a major difference. F．Right now there is something we can do easily to keep our children healthy. G．For example, they help students keep fit and avoid putting on too much weight. 第三部分 语言知识应用（共三节，满分40分） 第一节 完形填空（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四个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。 The great philosopher Plato said, “Happiness springs from doing good and helping others.” It means that giving help to people in need can also bring         41         and enjoyment to ourselves.

His family was poor, living entirely on the farm they ran, and most of the excitement of Christmas was in the turkey they had raised themselves and pumpkin pies his mother made. He rolled over to look at his old watch — it was two o'clock. Three hours later, his father would call him to get up, even if it was Christmas. His father never talked about loving him — he had no time for such things. There was always so much to do on the farm. “Or maybe, he just doesn’t love me,” Rob thought. He had a reason to think so. At 5 o'clock every morning, his father would call him to get up and help with the farm work. He had to go to the barn (棚) to hold the milking pails (挤奶桶) steadily when his father was milking the cow. He had to help put the tools in place and do the cleaning after the milking. He hated it that he had to do all these things at so early time. He was not the only one awake at this night. He heard his parents whispering in the next room. “Mary, I hate to call Rob in the mornings. He’s growing so fast and he needs his sleep. If you could see how he sleeps when I going to wake him up! I wish I could manage alone.” “Well, you can’t, Adam,” His mother’s voice was gentle. Besides, he isn’t a child anymore. It’s time he took his turn.” “Yes,” his father said slowly. “But I do hate to wake him.” When he heard these words, something in him spoke: his father loved him! He had never thought of that before, taking for granted the tie of their blood. Now that he knew his father loved him, he had to do something different on this Christmas. He did save and buy them each something every year, but he wished he had a better present for his father instead of the usual tie from the ten-cent store. 注意： 1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右； 2.续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。 Paragraph 1: A good idea suddenly struck him. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: It being almost five, he rushed back to his room and jumped into bed, waiting to be woken up. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ( 第 1 页 共 7 页 ) 高一年英语科试卷 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 英语科参考答案（2023.05） 第一部分 听力 第一节（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分） 1-5ACBCA 第二节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 6-10CBBBA 11-15CAABC 16-20CACBB 第二部分 阅读 第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 21-23 ACD 24-27CADD 28-31ADAB 32-35ABDC 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 36-40FCGBD 第三部分 语言知识应用 第一节 完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 41-45BCADA 46-50DCCBD 51-55ADBCB 第二节 语法填空（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分） 56.was astonished 57.resting 58.remarkable 59.its 60.to bring 61.so 62.Undoubtedly 63.whose 64.appreciation 65.to 第三节 单词拼写（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分） 66.struggle 67.response 68.massive 69.atmosphere 70.mental 71.hesitated 72.scene 73.uplifting 74.affected 75.performance 第四部分 写作 第一节 应用文写作（满分15分） 76.one possible version： Meet the Art This May Day saw numerous visitors to the “Meet the Art” exhibition in our city museum.

Why not give his father a special present, out there in the barn? He quickly got up and crept downstairs on tiptoes. The cows looked at him, sleepy and surprised.
