When you are going to travel, you know exactly where to go! The Lloyd’s Building The Lloyd’s Building lies in London and is Richard Rogers’ first high-tech office block It has won many awards because of its attractive inside-out design—all its services like elevators are provided outside the building. It is said by Historic England to be “widely recognized as one of the key buildings of the modem age.” One World Trade Center One World Trade Center is in the United States, which reaches a total height of 1,776 feet. The building has 94 stories above ground, and 5 stories underground. There are 86 usable above-ground floors, of which 78 are used for office purposes. What’s more, the building has 73 elevators in total and all that’s needed to travel to the upper floors of the building is a ride within only 60 seconds.

The 88-floor towers are characterized by a two-story skybridge connecting the two towers on the 41st and 42nd floors. The skybridge is 58 meters long and is considered to be the highest two-story skybridge in the world. The Colosseum The Colosseum in Rome, Italy is a large amphitheater (圆形剧场) that hosted events like gladiatorial (角斗士的) games.

Medical student Hillier had some experience of selling a few of her own old clothing items on an app called Poshmark. She never thought much of it. But one day she noticed other Poshmark sellers were profiting from selling thrift store finds. Because of her student loans, Hillier began studying their strategies and using them to create her own side hustle. That first T-shirt sold for $20. Since then, Hillier’s side hustle has brought in more than $117,000, including $85,000 last year alone. It currently averages $6,000 to $7,000 of profit per month, helping her lately purchase a five-bedroom house. Hillier’s side hustle began in August 2020, when she noticed that other Poshmark sellers were posting thousands of items that couldn’t have been from their own closets (衣柜). She learned that many were sourcing their items from thrift stores. She spent the next two months testing various sellers’ methods. Then she centered on one style — bright vintage (古典的) pieces — because those items are sold the most quickly. Hillier’s side hustle didn’t really pay off, though, until she found a balance between selling clothes and medical school. On Fridays, she’d run from classes to thrift stores, spending those evenings sorting and cleaning clothes. On Sundays, she’d take snaps of her new stock (存货). On Mondays, in between hospital rotations (换班), she’d upload the new products onto her Poshmark closet. And every other day, she’d run to the post office. “You’ve got to do it on a regular basis,” Hillier says. “If I didn’t love it so much, I wouldn’t make the time for it.” Now, some of Hillier’s side hustle’s money covers her down payment on a house. The rest will go towards new furniture, travel, her two dogs and student loan payments. “A lot of people can’t get a stable job in the medical school because they don’t have the time or flexibility,” Hillier says. “It’s nice to not only have time to do something I like, but afford other things. I will keep this business moving on when I’m an attending doctor.” 4. What made Hillier decide to start her side hustle? A. Her great love for fashionable clothes. B. Her need to earn money at the moment. C. Her purpose of making a career change. D. Her early success in selling old clothes. 5. How did Hillier prepare for her side hustle? A. By becoming a user of Poshmark. B. By learning from others’ experience. C. By contacting some Poshmark sellers. D. By filling her closet with bright vintage clothes. 6. What is the key to Hillier’s success in her side hustle? A. Knowing customers’ tastes. B. A big collection of clothes. C. Following a routine. D. A large amount of free time. 7. What does Hillier plan to do in the future according to the text? A. Hold on to both her side hustle and work. B. Apply for a more flexible job. C. Transform her side hustle into a hobby. D. Buy another new house. C Do phone calls from long-lost friends really excite you? You’re not alone. A new study finds people often underestimate how much their old friends will appreciate receiving a call from them out of the blue. Meanwhile, the friend getting the call places a much higher value on the surprise social interaction. “People are fundamentally social beings and enjoy bonding with others,” explains lead author Peggy Liu, PhD, from the University of Pittsburgh, in a media release. Researchers conducted several experiments involving over 5,900 people to look at what factors play into the amount of appreciation someone feels when others contact them. In one experiment, researchers asked half of the participants to remember the last time they contacted someone in their social circle after not speaking with them for a really long time. The rest of the group took the opposite approach, remembering when a long-lost friend reached them by phone. The two groups then had to rate on a seven-point scale (1 meaning “not at all” and 7 meaning “to a great extent”) how much the person receiving this communication appreciated, or felt grateful, or pleased about the message. For people making the call, this meant guessing how much their friend enjoyed hearing from them. For the people receiving the call, they simply had to rate how much they appreciated hearing from a long-lost pal. Results showcase the people reaching their friend significantly underrated their friend’s appreciation when the two groups were compared. “I sometimes hesitate before contacting people in my social circle for a variety of reasons. When that happens, I think about these research findings and remind myself that other people may also want to reach me and hesitate for the same reasons,” Liu concludes. “I then tell myself that I would appreciate it so much if they reached me and that there is no reason to think they would not similarly appreciate my reaching them.” 8. Which of the following best explains “out of the blue” underlined in paragraph 1? A. Delightedly. B. Instantly. C. Regularly. D. Unexpectedly. 9. What are the researchers’ conclusions based on? A. The comparison between the data from two groups. B. Their observation of social interaction among participants. C Their analysis of participants’ attachment to their old friends. D. Their investigation into the social connections of participants. 10. What can we learn about the participants reaching their friends? A. They tended to be more sociable. B. They expressed different grades of gratitude. C. Their friends might hesitate to contact them for various reasons. D. Their friends were more grateful for their calls than they had expected. 11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. Improve Your Communication Skills. B. Observe the Law of Social Interaction. C. Have No Hesitation in Reaching Your Friend. D. Promote a Closer Friendship by Calling Your Friend. D Cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide, accounting for nearly 10 million deaths in 2020. Many forms of cancers could be cured if discovered early and treated properly. But identifying it is quite an effort. Now a new study may offer an approach. Researchers in France recently found that insects, including ants, have a powerful sense of smell and can quickly learn to find out cancerous cells (细胞). The researchers experimented with 36 ants of the species Formica fusca. They first trained the ants by placing a sugar solution near the cancerous cells. Half of the ants were taught to recognize one type of cancer, and the rest were taught another. Then the ants were put near the healthy cells and the cancerous cells. It turned out that when the sugar solution was taken away, the ants could still find out the cancerous cells. In the test, the ants moved towards the cancerous cells they learned to discover, even if they had to choose between different cancer varieties. This isn’t the first time that animals’ sense of smell has been used to identify cancerous cells. Earlier studies have suggested that dogs are good at smelling out cancerous cells. “Ants equal dogs in terms of smelling abilities,” the researchers wrote. “In some regards, ants are better than dogs because they can learn extremely fast — less than 30 minutes for most ants — with a low-cost method that can be achieved by anyone after a couple of days of training, while training a dog to properly smell out cancerous cells requires several months to a year and it also costs much.” More clinical (临床的) tests must be carried out before they could be used in clinical settings like hospitals. The researchers’ next step will be to further study whether ants could make themselves useful in other real-world situations where dogs are now used. They believe that the method could possibly be adapted to other challenging tasks. 12. What can we learn about the ants in the experiment? A. They were used for curing cancer. B They fed mainly on cancerous cells. C. They preferred healthy cells to cancerous cells. D. They could tell different cancerous cell varieties apart. 13. How are ants better than dogs according to the researchers? A. Ants have a stronger sense of smell. B. Ants have more correct results. C. Ants are much more cost-effective. D. Ants can be used for longer periods. 14. What will the researchers do next? A. Explore other possible uses of ants. B. Experiment with other species of ants. C. Use ants instead of dogs in real-world situations. D. Promote the use of ants in hospitals around the world. 15. What is the text mainly about? A. Ants can identify cancerous cells. B. Cancer is a leading cause of death. C. Cancer can be cured sooner or later. D. Ants and dogs have good smelling abilities. 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。 People have been adding coloring to their food for thousands of years.

As I was looking at titles on the shelves, the man behind the counter, who looked about 50, asked if I’d like a job. I needed to start saving for college, so I said yes. I worked after school during the summer for the lowest wages, and the job helped pay for my freshman year of college. I would work many other jobs: I made coffee in the Students’ Union during college; I was a hotel maid and even made maps for the U.S. Forest Service. But selling books was one of the most satisfying jobs. One day a woman asked me for books on cancer. She seemed anxious. I showed her almost everything we had at that time in store and found other books we could order. She left the store less worried, and I’ve always remembered the pride I felt in having helped her. Years later, as a young newspaper reporter in Los Angeles, I heard from a friend that bookstore owner McCarley had died. I was deeply saddened. So I drove back to Ashland to attend his funeral. Before the service, I went into the bookstore again. The bookstore was exactly as I remembered. The bookshelves were still full of the same old books, and the familiar smell of old books filled the air. As I walked around, I realized that I had to do something to pay my respect to McCarley. I spoke to the current owner, who was one of McCarley’s former employees. She told me that the bookstore was facing some difficulties. Many people preferred to buy books online, and the store’s sales were dropping. Suddenly, an idea flashed into my mind. I decided to use my skills as a reporter to help the bookstore. I knew I could write a story about the bookstore’s history and its special place in the community. 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。 I spent the next few days interviewing old customers and collecting stories about the bookstore. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The story was published in the newspaper, and the response was surprising. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 试卷类型：A 绝密★启用前 2024—2025学年度第二学期高一年级期末教学质量检测试卷 英 语 注意事项： 1. 本试卷分笔试和听力两部分。答卷前，务必将自己的姓名、座位号写在答题卡上。将条形码粘贴在规定区域。本试卷满分150分。 2. 考生将笔试部分和听力部分答案写在英语答题卡上，写在本试卷上无效。 3. 考试结束后，将答题卡交回。 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，并标在试卷的相应位置。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.

Medical student Hillier had some experience of selling a few of her own old clothing items on an app called Poshmark. She never thought much of it. But one day she noticed other Poshmark sellers were profiting from selling thrift store finds. Because of her student loans, Hillier began studying their strategies and using them to create her own side hustle. That first T-shirt sold for $20. Since then, Hillier’s side hustle has brought in more than $117,000, including $85,000 last year alone. It currently averages $6,000 to $7,000 of profit per month, helping her lately purchase a five-bedroom house. Hillier’s side hustle began in August 2020, when she noticed that other Poshmark sellers were posting thousands of items that couldn’t have been from their own closets (衣柜). She learned that many were sourcing their items from thrift stores. She spent the next two months testing various sellers’ methods. Then she centered on one style — bright vintage (古典的) pieces — because those items are sold the most quickly. Hillier’s side hustle didn’t really pay off, though, until she found a balance between selling clothes and medical school. On Fridays, she’d run from classes to thrift stores, spending those evenings sorting and cleaning clothes. On Sundays, she’d take snaps of her new stock (存货). On Mondays, in between hospital rotations (换班), she’d upload the new products onto her Poshmark closet. And every other day, she’d run to the post office. “You’ve got to do it on a regular basis,” Hillier says. “If I didn’t love it so much, I wouldn’t make the time for it.” Now, some of Hillier’s side hustle’s money covers her down payment on a house. The rest will go towards new furniture, travel, her two dogs and student loan payments. “A lot of people can’t get a stable job in the medical school because they don’t have the time or flexibility,” Hillier says. “It’s nice to not only have time to do something I like, but afford other things. I will keep this business moving on when I’m an attending doctor.” 4. What made Hillier decide to start her side hustle? A. Her great love for fashionable clothes. B. Her need to earn money at the moment. C. Her purpose of making a career change. D. Her early success in selling old clothes. 5. How did Hillier prepare for her side hustle? A. By becoming a user of Poshmark. B. By learning from others’ experience. C. By contacting some Poshmark sellers. D. By filling her closet with bright vintage clothes. 6. What is the key to Hillier’s success in her side hustle? A. Knowing customers’ tastes. B. A big collection of clothes. C. Following a routine. D. A large amount of free time. 7. What does Hillier plan to do in the future according to the text? A. Hold on to both her side hustle and work. B. Apply for a more flexible job. C. Transform her side hustle into a hobby. D. Buy another new house. 【答案】4. B 5. B 6. C 7.

You’re not alone. A new study finds people often underestimate how much their old friends will appreciate receiving a call from them out of the blue. Meanwhile, the friend getting the call places a much higher value on the surprise social interaction. “People are fundamentally social beings and enjoy bonding with others,” explains lead author Peggy Liu, PhD, from the University of Pittsburgh, in a media release. Researchers conducted several experiments involving over 5,900 people to look at what factors play into the amount of appreciation someone feels when others contact them. In one experiment researchers asked half of the participants to remember the last time they contacted someone in their social circle after not speaking with them for a really long time. The rest of the group took the opposite approach, remembering when a long-lost friend reached them by phone. The two groups then had to rate on a seven-point scale (1 meaning “not at all” and 7 meaning “to a great extent”) how much the person receiving this communication appreciated, or felt grateful, or pleased about the message. For people making the call, this meant guessing how much their friend enjoyed hearing from them. For the people receiving the call, they simply had to rate how much they appreciated hearing from a long-lost pal. Results showcase the people reaching their friend significantly underrated their friend’s appreciation when the two groups were compared. “I sometimes hesitate before contacting people in my social circle for a variety of reasons. When that happens, I think about these research findings and remind myself that other people may also want to reach me and hesitate for the same reasons,” Liu concludes. “I then tell myself that I would appreciate it so much if they reached me and that there is no reason to think they would not similarly appreciate my reaching them.” 8. Which of the following best explains “out of the blue” underlined in paragraph 1? A. Delightedly. B. Instantly. C. Regularly. D. Unexpectedly. 9. What are the researchers’ conclusions based on? A. The comparison between the data from two groups. B. Their observation of social interaction among participants. C. Their analysis of participants’ attachment to their old friends. D. Their investigation into the social connections of participants. 10. What can we learn about the participants reaching their friends? A. They tended to be more sociable. B. They expressed different grades of gratitude. C. Their friends might hesitate to contact them for various reasons. D. Their friends were more grateful for their calls than they had expected. 11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. Improve Your Communication Skills. B. Observe the Law of Social Interaction. C. Have No Hesitation in Reaching Your Friend. D. Promote a Closer Friendship by Calling Your Friend. 【答案】8. D 9. A 10. D 11.

Many forms of cancers could be cured if discovered early and treated properly. But identifying it is quite an effort. Now a new study may offer an approach. Researchers in France recently found that insects, including ants, have a powerful sense of smell and can quickly learn to find out cancerous cells (细胞). The researchers experimented with 36 ants of the species Formica fusca. They first trained the ants by placing a sugar solution near the cancerous cells. Half of the ants were taught to recognize one type of cancer, and the rest were taught another. Then the ants were put near the healthy cells and the cancerous cells. It turned out that when the sugar solution was taken away, the ants could still find out the cancerous cells. In the test, the ants moved towards the cancerous cells they learned to discover, even if they had to choose between different cancer varieties. This isn’t the first time that animals’ sense of smell has been used to identify cancerous cells. Earlier studies have suggested that dogs are good at smelling out cancerous cells. “Ants equal dogs in terms of smelling abilities,” the researchers wrote. “In some regards, ants are better than dogs because they can learn extremely fast — less than 30 minutes for most ants — with a low-cost method that can be achieved by anyone after a couple of days of training, while training a dog to properly smell out cancerous cells requires several months to a year and it also costs much.” More clinical (临床的) tests must be carried out before they could be used in clinical settings like hospitals. The researchers’ next step will be to further study whether ants could make themselves useful in other real-world situations where dogs are now used. They believe that the method could possibly be adapted to other challenging tasks. 12. What can we learn about the ants in the experiment? A. They were used for curing cancer. B. They fed mainly on cancerous cells. C. They preferred healthy cells to cancerous cells. D. They could tell different cancerous cell varieties apart. 13. How are ants better than dogs according to the researchers? A. Ants have a stronger sense of smell. B. Ants have more correct results. C. Ants are much more cost-effective. D. Ants can be used for longer periods. 14. What will the researchers do next? A. Explore other possible uses of ants. B. Experiment with other species of ants. C. Use ants instead of dogs in real-world situations. D. Promote the use of ants in hospitals around the world. 15. What is the text mainly about? A. Ants can identify cancerous cells. B. Cancer is a leading cause of death. C. Cancer can be cured sooner or later. D. Ants and dogs have good smelling abilities. 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. A 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要说明了法国研究人员发现蚂蚁具有强大的嗅觉能力，能够通过训练快速识别癌细胞，且在某些方面比狗更具优势，未来或可应用于医疗诊断等现实场景。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“In the test, the ants moved towards the cancerous cells they learned to discover, even if they had to choose between different cancer varieties.(在测试中，蚂蚁向它们学会发现的癌细胞移动，即使它们必须在不同的癌症品种之间做出选择。)”可知，实验中的蚂蚁可以区分不同种类的癌细胞。故选D。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“In some regards, ants are better than dogs because they can learn extremely fast — less than 30 minutes for most ants — with a low-cost method that can be achieved by anyone after a couple of days of training, while training a dog to properly smell out cancerous cells requires several months to a year and it also costs much.(在某些方面，蚂蚁比狗学得好，因为它们学得非常快——大多数蚂蚁不到30分钟就能学会——只要训练几天，任何人都可以用一种低成本的方法学会，而训练一只狗正确嗅出癌细胞需要几个月到一年的时间，而且成本也很高。)”可知，蚂蚁比狗好是因为蚂蚁的成本效益高得多。故选C。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“The researchers’ next step will be to further study whether ants could make themselves useful in other real-world situations where dogs are now used.(研究人员接下来的步骤将是进一步研究蚂蚁是否能在其他目前由狗来承担任务的现实场景中发挥作用。)”可知，研究人员下一步要探索蚂蚁的其他可能用途。故选A。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第二段“In the test, the ants moved towards the cancerous cells they learned to discover, even if they had to choose between different cancer varieties.(在测试中，蚂蚁向它们学会发现的癌细胞移动，即使它们必须在不同的癌症品种之间做出选择。)”可知，这篇文章的主要内容是蚂蚁能识别癌细胞。故选A。 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。 People have been adding coloring to their food for thousands of years.

Several food colorings were once recognized as safe. But they have since been removed from the market because of health concerns. ____19____ However, avoiding food colorings can actually be quite difficult. ____20____ Many governments around the world limit the types of things that can be used in food colorings. And different countries have different labeling systems for food colorings, which allows people to be clear what food coloring it is. Many countries also make certain rules and laws to deal with adding and creating food colorings illegally. A. All food colorings come from two sources. B. Some food colorings are not good for health. C. Some people thus try to avoid food colorings. D. Plants, like flowers, were very common examples. E. As a result, man-made food colorings are widely used. F.

As I was looking at titles on the shelves, the man behind the counter, who looked about 50, asked if I’d like a job. I needed to start saving for college, so I said yes. I worked after school during the summer for the lowest wages, and the job helped pay for my freshman year of college. I would work many other jobs: I made coffee in the Students’ Union during college; I was a hotel maid and even made maps for the U.S. Forest Service. But selling books was one of the most satisfying jobs. One day a woman asked me for books on cancer. She seemed anxious. I showed her almost everything we had at that time in store and found other books we could order. She left the store less worried, and I’ve always remembered the pride I felt in having helped her. Years later, as a young newspaper reporter in Los Angeles, I heard from a friend that bookstore owner McCarley had died. I was deeply saddened. So I drove back to Ashland to attend his funeral. Before the service, I went into the bookstore again. The bookstore was exactly as I remembered. The bookshelves were still full of the same old books, and the familiar smell of old books filled the air. As I walked around, I realized that I had to do something to pay my respect to McCarley. I spoke to the current owner, who was one of McCarley’s former employees. She told me that the bookstore was facing some difficulties. Many people preferred to buy books online, and the store’s sales were dropping. Suddenly, an idea flashed into my mind. I decided to use my skills as a reporter to help the bookstore. I knew I could write a story about the bookstore’s history and its special place in the community. 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。 I spent the next few days interviewing old customers and collecting stories about the bookstore. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The story was published in the newspaper, and the response was surprising. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 I spent the next few days interviewing old customers and collecting stories about the bookstore. I talked to people who had been coming to the store for decades, hearing about how McCarley Bookstore had been a gathering place for book lovers, a source of comfort in difficult times, and a place where they discovered new worlds through books. I also dug out some old photos of the store over the years. Using my writing skills, I carefully wove these stories together. I made sure to mention McCarley, the original owner, and how his love for books had created this special place. I included the time when I helped the woman looking for books on cancer, highlighting the store’s role in providing real help to customers. The story was published in the newspaper, and the response was surprising. People from all over the community and even some from neighboring towns came to visit the bookstore. They were eager to experience the place they had read about. Some bought books, not just because they needed them but to support the store. The sales started to rise, and the current owner was overjoyed. The bookstore once again became a lively place, filled with the sound of people discussing books. It was a great comfort to know that my small effort had helped keep this special place alive, and I felt a sense of pride, just like the pride I felt when I helped that woman years ago. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者15岁时在McCarley旧书店打工的经历：为攒大学学费而工作，期间体会到帮助读者的成就感；多年后得知店主去世，重返旧地，发现书店因网络冲击陷入困境，于是决定用自己的记者身份撰写报道来帮助它。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“接下来几天里，我采访了书店的老顾客，收集关于这家书店的故事。”可知，第一段可描写作者为撰写书店报道所做的准备工作及内容构思。 ②由第二段首句内容“这篇报道发表在报纸上，反响令人惊讶。”可知，第二段可描写报道发表后书店迎来的积极转变与社会反响。 2.续写线索：和以前的顾客交谈——翻看老照片——写报道——有人来参观——销售额上升——作者感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①翻出：dig out/rout up ②提到：mention/refer to ③上升：rise/go up 情绪类 ①急切：eager/anxious ②狂喜的：overjoyed/ecstatic 【点睛】[高分句型1] I talked to people who had been coming to the store for decades, hearing about how McCarley Bookstore had been a gathering place for book lovers, a source of comfort in difficult times, and a place where they discovered new worlds through books.
