In addition, the Mom dog had been to the clinic herself on a prior occasion for a health issue. Incredibly, she had remembered the location as a place where she could find help. Eric, a technician working at that time, had noticed something on the camera’s feed and went to investigate. To his shock, a dog sat waiting outside their door with her young, male pup. Eric immediately grabbed the cold-as-ice puppy from its mother’s mouth. Then he and his colleague, Baturalp, worked frantically to revive the puppy. “When I checked it, we noticed a very slow heartbeat,” Baturalp explained. “That’s why I said ‘It’s a hope, maybe he’ll live,’ and we started the fight.” The determined pair used an adrenaline (肾上腺素) shot and warmed the puppy with a hair dryer. As they eagerly worked on saving the pup’s life, Mom patiently stayed at their side. She continuously stared over the counter to get a look of her pup. Thanks to the clinic staff, the puppy recovered and returned to health. Of a litter of six, he and one other puppy survived. “They are doing very well right now; they are in good health,” Baturalp confirmed of Mom and her two newborn pups. Mom and her puppies are currently up for adoption with the hope that all three are taken to the same forever home. The Mom is a hero.

Small and made of sandstone, it was initially part of the crowning ceremonies of the Scots kings and it was later placed beneath the Coronation (加冕) Chair in Westminster Abbey. Now it can be shown that the Stone of Destiny may originally have been a doorstep. The handmade articles had scientific checks before moving from Edinburgh Castle to its new home at Perth Museum, which opened last month. Experts believe that the wear on the top was caused by footsteps prior to its use as the crowning stone. The first detailed account of the Stone being used in the coronation of a king was that of Alexander Ⅲ in 1249. One legend of the Stones origin held that it was “Jacob’s pillow”, the stone on which angels showed Jacob a vision of a stairway to Heaven. The 152kg Stone was said to have been transported from ancient Egypt to the Hill of Tara in Ireland and later taken to Scone. But analysis was carried out recently on the Stone in preparation for its visit to Westminster Abbey for the Coronation of King Charles last year. That showed it was mined from the Scone area, suggesting it may originally have been used in a church or Roman building. The Stone was used during the coronations of kings of Scotland until 1296 when it was seized by King Edward I of England. He had it built into the Coronation Chair at Westminster, where it was used in the coronation of the kings of England. But experts said, “Even several hundred years of such a ceremony wouldn’t create the level of wear we see. It’s more likely that the stone had earlier served as a step, although we don’t know the background for this.” The Stone was officially returned to Scotland in 1996 and was housed with the Honours of Scotland in the Crown Room at Edinburgh Castle. 8. What do we know about the Stone of Destiny? A. It has a legendary story. B. It can change people’s destinies. C. It’s a fine piece of artwork. D. It used to be the king’s chair. 9. What can we say about the Stone of Destiny from paragraph 2? A. It has scientific value. B. It was an originally normal stone. C. It’ll be housed in a castle. D. It was worn out by ceremonies. 10. Why was the Stone of Destiny analyzed recently? A. To find a new home for it. B. To check out its origin. C. To prepare for a coronation. D. To confirm its magic. 11. Where was the Stone of Destiny mainly kept in history? A. In Edinburgh Castle. B. In a Scotland church. C. In Perth Museum. D. In Westminster Abbey. 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍命运石的传说、用途、科学分析及历史变迁。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“The Stone of Destiny (命运) has entered legend as one of the most ancient and mysterious handmade articles in Scotland.(“命运之石”已成为苏格兰最古老、最神秘的手工制品之一，并被载入了传说之中)”可知，这块石头有着传说般的故事。故选A项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Now it can be shown that the Stone of Destiny may originally have been a doorstep.(现在可以证明，那块“命运之石”原本可能就是一块门槛石)”可知，这块石头原本是一个普通的过门石。故选B项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“But analysis was carried out recently on the Stone in preparation for its visit to Westminster Abbey for the Coronation of King Charles last year.(但最近对这块石头进行了分析，目的是为去年国王查尔斯的加冕典礼在威斯敏斯特大教堂举行这一活动做准备)”可知，分析这块石头是为了把它运到威斯敏斯特，准备查理国王的登基典礼用。故选C项。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“The Stone was used during the coronations of kings of Scotland until 1296 when it was seized by King Edward I of England.(自1296年苏格兰国王加冕典礼开始，这块石头一直被用于苏格兰国王的加冕仪式中，直到当时被英格兰国王爱德华一世夺走)”以及最后一段“The Stone was officially returned to Scotland in 1996 and was housed with the Honours of Scotland in the Crown Room at Edinburgh Castle. (这块石头于1996年正式归还给苏格兰，并与苏格兰荣誉宝物一起被安置在爱丁堡城堡的王室厅内)”可知，迄今为止，它在英格兰的威斯敏斯特教堂存放时间最长。故选D项。 D The Grand Canal, also known as the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, is the longest man-made river in the world. Starting in the capital Beijing, it passes through several provinces, linking China’s five main river basins (流域). The oldest parts of the canal date back to the 5th century BC, when it offered an important means of transportation and supply of food to the population. From ancient to modern times, the Grand Canal has been contributing to the country’s development. It represents the wisdom and determination of the Chinese people. In 2014, the Grand Canal was included on the UNESCO World Heritage List. China has taken many measures to protect and develop the Grand Canal and the areas around it. The construction of cultural and ecological (生态的) parks along the canal is one of the most important elements of protective measures. The Beijing section of the Grand Canal, located in Tongzhou, is one of the city’s popular tourist spots. The Grand Canal Forest Park was built along its shores, featuring deep forests and beds of flowers. Visitors enjoy camping, cycling and boat trips there, taking a vacation away from the fast pace of city life. Dezhou City is also taking advantage of the canal. Over the past 20 years, the city has insisted on non-commercial development on both sides of this section of the Grand Canal. The city has turned unused areas into gardens, and wastelands into wetlands along the riverbank—a series of measures aimed at restoring the original appearance of the canal. The Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal has continued to serve as a link between northern and southern China.

One quiet afternoon when Mother was seventy-eight, I finally gathered the courage to ask, “Did you ever know your half-sisters and brothers?” She looked up from the photos in her lap, her fingers pausing over a discolored picture. “Three sisters and one brother,” she said softly. “I hired a detective (侦探) once... found them... but never contacted them.” Her voice dropped to a whisper. “They likely didn’t know I existed.” I reached for her hand, sensing the decades of hesitation. Though she rarely spoke of her childhood, I knew some of it-her mother’s early death, being raised by unwilling relatives, the father who disappeared from her life. Yet despite this, she had built a beautiful existence-marrying my kind-hearted father, becoming an successful artist, and creating the warm home she’d never had. When she passed away at ninety-one, I often wondered about those unknown relatives. Would searching for them betray her memory? Then, eighteen months later, a miracle occurred. A distant cousin researching our family tree contacted me with astonishing news. “Your mother’s siblings have been looking for her too,” he said, sharing their contact information. The timing seemed fateful, especially when my son Jonah revealed his own coincidence-a DNA match on Ancestry.com with a woman named Jamie. “Grandma’s birth name was Johnson,” I reminded Jonah. When he entered it into the chat, the response came within hours: “We’ve been searching for Mary Johnson since 1978!” That evening, I found myself on a three-way call with Bobbie, my mother’s youngest half-sister. Hearing her emotional voice-so similar to Mom’s-my hands trembled. “We looked for her,” Bobbie wept. “After Dad died, my brother David placed newspaper ads, even went on radio shows.” As I shared stories of my mother’s life-her art, her kindness, the family she created-I felt an unexpected peace. The missing pieces of our family puzzle were finally coming together. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 In the months that followed, I came to know this “new” family. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I will never forget the first family reunion. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 In the months that followed, I came to know this “new” family. We exchanged countless emails and photos, each message deepening our connection. Bobbie sent me old family pictures, including one of our grandfather I’d never seen before, his eyes twinkling with a familiar warmth. We talked about our mothers’ shared love for gardening, a characteristic that skipped a generation in me but bloomed in my daughter. Every online conversation got us closer, and finally we had a reunion. I will never forget the first family reunion. We gathered at Bobbie’s cozy home, surrounded by autumn leaves and laughter. As I hugged David, my mother’s long-lost brother, tears streamed down our faces. Jamie, Jonah’s DNA match, gave me a painting she’d created, its colors mirroring the joy in the room. We shared stories late into the night, our voices combining like a song. At that moment, I felt my mother’s spirit beside us, her silent approval filling the air. The hole in my heart, left by years of uncertainty, was finally filled with the warmth of family. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了多年来，“我”一直想知道母亲是否认识同父异母的姊妹。78岁的母亲称曾找到他们却未联系，觉得他们不知自己存在。母亲91岁去世后，18个月后，远房表亲联系“我”，称那些亲戚也在找母亲，儿子也通过基因匹配找到相关人。“我”与他们联系、交流，最终团聚，填补了心中因未知带来的空缺，感受到家庭温暖。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“在接下来的几个月里，我逐渐了解了这个“新”家庭。”可知，第一段可描写作者和新家庭开始互相了解。 ②由第二段首句内容“我永远不会忘记那次家庭团聚。”可知，第二段可描写作者对于团聚的回忆以及感悟。 2.续写线索：逐渐了解新家庭——加深交流——团聚难忘——作者感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①闪烁：twinkle/flicker ②充满：be filled with /be full of ③拥抱：hug/embrace 情绪类 ①无言：silent/speechless ②不确定：uncertainty/unsureness 【点睛】[高分句型1] The hole in my heart, left by years of uncertainty, was finally filled with the warmth of family.（运用了过去分词作定语） [高分句型2] As I hugged David, my mother’s long-lost brother, tears streamed down our faces.（运用了as引导时间状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024—2025学年度辽宁省县域重点高中高一下学期期末考试 英语 本试卷满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 注意事项： 1. 答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2. 答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡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。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?

B Stray (流浪) Dog Brings Sick Newborn Puppy to Vet The clinic’s security camera caught the action as the mother dog held her newborn pup in her mouth and walked through pouring rain to the clinic’s front door. In Istanbul, local business owners often feed and care for the city’s stray dogs. Shop owners will set out water stations that strays can use at their leisure. In addition, the Mom dog had been to the clinic herself on a prior occasion for a health issue. Incredibly, she had remembered the location as a place where she could find help. Eric, a technician working at that time, had noticed something on the camera’s feed and went to investigate. To his shock, a dog sat waiting outside their door with her young, male pup. Eric immediately grabbed the cold-as-ice puppy from its mother’s mouth. Then he and his colleague, Baturalp, worked frantically to revive the puppy. “When I checked it, we noticed a very slow heartbeat,” Baturalp explained. “That’s why I said ‘It’s a hope, maybe he’ll live,’ and we started the fight.” The determined pair used an adrenaline (肾上腺素) shot and warmed the puppy with a hair dryer. As they eagerly worked on saving the pup’s life, Mom patiently stayed at their side. She continuously stared over the counter to get a look of her pup. Thanks to the clinic staff, the puppy recovered and returned to health. Of a litter of six, he and one other puppy survived. “They are doing very well right now; they are in good health,” Baturalp confirmed of Mom and her two newborn pups. Mom and her puppies are currently up for adoption with the hope that all three are taken to the same forever home. The Mom is a hero. The incredible lengths that she went through to find help for her puppy is an example of the greatness of mother. We also honor the unselfish and caring actions of the clinic staff. 4. What can we infer about the people in Istanbul from paragraph 2? A. They are kind to animals. B. They are fond of adopting dogs. C. They watch strays with cameras. D. They offer shelters to strays. 5. What is the probable meaning of the underlined word “frantically” in paragraph 3? A. Proudly. B. Busily. C. Unwillingly. D. Nervously. 6.

They will become a family of six. 7. What theme does this text mainly highlight? A. Human sympathy for animals. B. The luck of a dog. C. Harmony between human and animals. D. Mother’s love. C Experts Say Stone was Probably Old Threshold The Stone of Destiny (命运) has entered legend as one of the most ancient and mysterious handmade articles in Scotland. Small and made of sandstone, it was initially part of the crowning ceremonies of the Scots kings and it was later placed beneath the Coronation (加冕) Chair in Westminster Abbey. Now it can be shown that the Stone of Destiny may originally have been a doorstep. The handmade articles had scientific checks before moving from Edinburgh Castle to its new home at Perth Museum, which opened last month. Experts believe that the wear on the top was caused by footsteps prior to its use as the crowning stone. The first detailed account of the Stone being used in the coronation of a king was that of Alexander Ⅲ in 1249. One legend of the Stones origin held that it was “Jacob’s pillow”, the stone on which angels showed Jacob a vision of a stairway to Heaven. The 152kg Stone was said to have been transported from ancient Egypt to the Hill of Tara in Ireland and later taken to Scone. But analysis was carried out recently on the Stone in preparation for its visit to Westminster Abbey for the Coronation of King Charles last year. That showed it was mined from the Scone area, suggesting it may originally have been used in a church or Roman building. The Stone was used during the coronations of kings of Scotland until 1296 when it was seized by King Edward I of England. He had it built into the Coronation Chair at Westminster, where it was used in the coronation of the kings of England. But experts said, “Even several hundred years of such a ceremony wouldn’t create the level of wear we see. It’s more likely that the stone had earlier served as a step, although we don’t know the background for this.” The Stone was officially returned to Scotland in 1996 and was housed with the Honours of Scotland in the Crown Room at Edinburgh Castle. 8. What do we know about the Stone of Destiny? A. It has a legendary story. B. It can change people’s destinies. C. It’s a fine piece of artwork. D. It used to be the king’s chair. 9. What can we say about the Stone of Destiny from paragraph 2? A. It has scientific value. B. It was an originally normal stone. C. It’ll be housed in a castle. D. It was worn out by ceremonies. 10. Why was the Stone of Destiny analyzed recently? A. To find a new home for it. B. To check out its origin. C. To prepare for a coronation. D. To confirm its magic. 11. Where was the Stone of Destiny mainly kept in history? A. In Edinburgh Castle. B. In a Scotland church. C. In Perth Museum. D. In Westminster Abbey. D The Grand Canal, also known as the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, is the longest man-made river in the world. Starting in the capital Beijing, it passes through several provinces, linking China’s five main river basins (流域). The oldest parts of the canal date back to the 5th century BC when it offered an important means of transportation and supply of food to the population. From ancient to modern times, the Grand Canal has been contributing to the country’s development. It represents the wisdom and determination of the Chinese people. In 2014, the Grand Canal was included on the UNESCO World Heritage List. China has taken many measures to protect and develop the Grand Canal and the areas around it. The construction of cultural and ecological (生态的) parks along the canal is one of the most important elements of protective measures. The Beijing section of the Grand Canal, located in Tongzhou, is one of the city’s popular tourist spots. The Grand Canal Forest Park was built along its shores, featuring deep forests and beds of flowers. Visitors enjoy camping, cycling and boat trips there, taking a vacation away from the fast pace of city life. Dezhou City is also taking advantage of the canal. Over the past 20 years, the city has insisted on non-commercial development on both sides of this section of the Grand Canal. The city has turned unused areas into gardens, and wastelands into wetlands along the riverbank—a series of measures aimed at restoring the original appearance of the canal. The Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal has continued to serve as a link between northern and southern China. It also further promotes the economic, agricultural and ecological development of the cities and towns along its banks. 12. What can we learn about the Grand Canal? A. It connects five large provinces. B. It was completed in the 5th century. C. It used to be an tourist route. D. It shows great qualities of Chinese. 13. What do the protection measures for the Grand Canal mainly focus on? A. Transportation and environment. B. Culture and ecology. C Commercialization and innovation. D. Tourism and economy. 14. What does the last paragraph intend to tell us about the Grand Canal? A. Its development. B. Its bright future. C. Its significant role. D. Its historical value. 15.

One quiet afternoon when Mother was seventy-eight, I finally gathered the courage to ask, “Did you ever know your half-sisters and brothers?” She looked up from the photos in her lap, her fingers pausing over a discolored picture. “Three sisters and one brother,” she said softly. “I hired a detective (侦探) once... found them... but never contacted them.” Her voice dropped to a whisper. “They likely didn’t know I existed.” I reached for her hand, sensing the decades of hesitation. Though she rarely spoke of her childhood, I knew some of it-her mother’s early death, being raised by unwilling relatives, the father who disappeared from her life. Yet despite this, she had built a beautiful existence-marrying my kind-hearted father, becoming an successful artist, and creating the warm home she’d never had. When she passed away at ninety-one, I often wondered about those unknown relatives. Would searching for them betray her memory? Then, eighteen months later, a miracle occurred. A distant cousin researching our family tree contacted me with astonishing news. “Your mother’s siblings have been looking for her too,” he said, sharing their contact information. The timing seemed fateful, especially when my son Jonah revealed his own coincidence-a DNA match on Ancestry.com with a woman named Jamie. “Grandma’s birth name was Johnson,” I reminded Jonah. When he entered it into the chat, the response came within hours: “We’ve been searching for Mary Johnson since 1978!” That evening, I found myself on a three-way call with Bobbie, my mother’s youngest half-sister. Hearing her emotional voice-so similar to Mom’s-my hands trembled. “We looked for her,” Bobbie wept. “After Dad died, my brother David placed newspaper ads, even went on radio shows.” As I shared stories of my mother’s life-her art, her kindness, the family she created-I felt an unexpected peace. The missing pieces of our family puzzle were finally coming together. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 In the months that followed, I came to know this “new” family. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I will never forget the first family reunion. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
