M: Sure, it’s actually the most impressive one I’ve ever seen on that topic. W: Yeah, I just want to watch it again. 【3原文】 W: Aren’t you discouraged by the slow progress your students are making? M: Yes, I think I will give them a deadline and hold them to it. W: Oh, I suppose you should have a talk with them first. 【4原文】 W: Mike told me yesterday that he had been looking for a part time job in the art gallery, but failed. M: What a pity. I think he needs some comfort. Why not go to his apartment now? W: Good idea, but we need to buy something first. 【5原文】 W: You look great. Your fitness classes really work. Do you come to our gym every Wednesday? I never met you before. M: Thanks. Actually, my classes are on every Friday. My coach is not available on this Friday, so here I am now. 【6-7原文】 M: Carrie, what are you doing on Saturday night? Your mom really needs a night out. W: You want me to take mom out? Isn’t that kind of your job? M: I need you to take care of your baby sister so that we can go out for dinner. We’re going to Mindelo’s. W: Oh, isn’t that place like super expensive? M: I don’t care. Your mother deserves the best. 【8-10原文】 W: Good afternoon, Dream Time travel. How can I help you? M: Oh, hello I am interested in the holidays you offer along the coast near here.

I came across something really interesting in the library. W: What? A book? M: No, a brochure from a music festival. Look, I’ve got it here. W: Let’s have a look. So, what’s this group? Guitar masters? M: This Spanish band is really good. I almost enjoyed every song of the band. They play fantastic instruments and I’ve never heard anything like it before. W: Sounds great. Shall we go then? M: Yes. The only problem is that there aren’t any cheap seats. It’s all one price. W: Well, in that case we could sit right at the front. We can have a really good view. M: Maybe, though I think if you sit at the back, you can actually hear the whole thing better. W: Fine, fine, as you wish. Where shall we go there? M: How about this Sunday? The seventeenth of June or the twenty second of June? W: I prefer the latter one. M: Copy that. 【14-17原文】 W: My favorite uploader shared something new. M: Interesting. Who is the uploader? It’s Lily on the way who enjoys sharing videos on different customs during travel. M: I know her. She has millions of followers. W: Yeah, her latest video talks about the British personality. You know, the famous British reserve. M: Ha-ha-ha. I see. It just means we aren’t very friendly or very open. So, do you think it’s true? W: It’s hard to say, but Lily says Britons are too shy to make friends with others. M: Look at Americans, we speak the same language, but they are much more open. And you see it when Americans travel, they speak with strangers, often on the train. British people seldom do that, not in London anyway. W: People may be different in other parts of your country, isn’t it? M: Not completely, you know what they say, “An Englishman’s home is his castle. It’s really difficult to get inside.” W: Yeah, NY also mentions it being private. You go home to your house and your garden and you close the door. It’s your place. M: That’s why the British don’t like flats. They prefer to live in houses. 【18-20原文】 Kites may date back as far as 3000 years. About 25 centuries ago, kites were well known in China. These first kites were probably made of wood. They may even have been covered with silk. Early kites were built for certain uses. In ancient China, they were used to carry ropes to cross rivers. It’s said that one general flew musical kites over the enemy’s camp. The enemy fled out of great fear. In the thirteenth century, as Marco Polo wrote in his book, a trader named Adam Smith’s tied some armed soldiers to a huge kite and launched the kite with wind. By the fifteenth century, many people flew kites in Europe. Marco Polo may have brought the kite back from his visit to China. In late 1500s, kite flying was first mentioned in England in a popular book by John Bate. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024-2025学年第一学期期中考试—高三英语试题 试卷满分: 150分，考试时间: 120分钟 第一部分 听力 (共两节，满分30分) 做题时，先将答案划在试卷上。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。 1.

Based on recommendations from the 2009 report, Discovering Ontario: a report on the future of tourism, the ministry established 13 tourism regions, each with a strong Regional Tourism Organization. Each Regional Tourism Organization is independent, industry-led and not-for-profit and each provides leadership and coordination to support competitive and sustainable tourism regions. As a result, Ontario’s tourism industry now has a stronger combined voice and is better equipped to attract more visitors, generate more economic activities, and create more jobs across the province. Find your region Click on a region in the map to go to a page with more detailed information. You can also find your region by looking up your municipality, city, town, township or county in the A-Z list. The information of some regions is as follows.

So, we left Egypt. Back home, my dearest friends struggled with health stuff, with family craziness... The game of life is hard, and a lot of us are playing hurt. I ache for the world but naturally I’m mostly watching the Me Movie, where balance and strength are beginning to fail. What can we do as the creaking elevator of age slowly arrive? The main solution is to get outside every day, ideally with friends. Old friends — even thoughts of them — are my comfort. Recently I was walking along a beach with Neshama. We go back 50 years. She is 84, short and strong. Every so often, she bent down somewhat tentatively (踌躇地) and picked up small items into a small cloth bag. “What are you doing?” “I’m picking up micro litter. I try to help where I can.” I reminded her of an old story. A great warhorse comes upon a tiny sparrow (麻雀) lying on its back with its feet in the air, eyes tightly shut with effort. The horse asks it what it’s doing. “I’m trying to help hold back the darkness.” The horse laughs loudly, “That is so funny. What do you weigh?” And the sparrow replies, “One does what one can.” This is what older age means. We do what we can. We continued our walk. Neshama bent tentatively to pick up bits of litter and started to slip, but I caught her and we laughed. We are so physically vulnerable in older age, but friendship makes it all a rowing machine for the soul. We can take it, as long as we feel and give love, and laugh gently at ourselves as we fall apart. We know by a certain age the great lie in our life — if you do or achieve this or that, you will be happy and rich. No. Love and service make us rich. 24. What does the author say about her present life? A. She leads a balanced life. B. She is really into movies. C. She enjoys meeting old friends. D. She struggles with family crises. 25. Why did the author mention the sparrow? A. To confirm Neshama’s fear. B. To show her approval. C. To change Neshama’s mind. D. To offer her comfort. 26. What does the underlined “it” in the last paragraph refer to? A. The rowing machine. B. The great lie. C. Physical weakness. D. The broken soul. 27. What largely determines happiness in older age according to the author? A. Living a life of love and service. B. Enjoying life as you can. C. Achieving important life goals. D. Loving what is being done. C Researchers say a new electrical device placed in three paralyzed patients has helped them walk again. The lower bodies of the three patients were left paralyzed after they suffered spinal cord (脊髓) injuries. But a device implanted in the spinal cord was able to send electrical signals to the muscles to permit them to stand, walk and exercise. Scientists have discovered that neurons — which receive and send signals for muscle movements — often still work in injured patients with serious spinal cord injuries. However, past research into spinal cord injuries has centered on the stimulation of neurons. Now in the latest experiment led by Gregoire Courtine and Jocelyne Bloch of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne, three paralyzed men were implanted a new electrical device designed to copy an action of the brain, in which it sends signals to the spinal cord that result in muscle movement. When the spinal cord receives the brain signals, it stimulates a collection of nerve cells that can activate different muscles. The researchers reported that all three patients who got the spinal cord implants were able to take their first steps within an hour after receiving them. Over the next six months, the patients regained the ability to take part in more advanced walking activities, the study found. They were also able to ride bicycles and swim in community settings. Unlike other attempts to help paralyzed patients walk by stimulating nerves through the back of the spine, Courtine said that his team redesigned the devices so signals would enter the spine from the sides. This method permits more direct targeting and activation of spinal cord areas, he said. The team then developed artificial intelligence (AI) systems linked to the device. The AI controls electrodes on the device to send signals to stimulate individual nerves that control muscles needed for walking and other activities. However, because the patients muscles were weak from not being used, they needed help with supporting their weight, the researchers said. It also took some time for them to learn to work with the technology. Still, Bloch said, “The more they train, the more they start lifting their muscles, the more fluid it becomes.” 28. What can we learn from paragraph 2? A. Neurons in paralyzed patients can’t work. B. Paralyzed men recovered using a new device. C. The new device can imitate the brain to send signals. D. Stimulating the neurons is the focus of the latest research. 29. How does the new device stimulate the spinal cord areas more directly? A. By sending the signals to the brain. B. By using the AI system. C. By stimulating nerves through the back of the spine. D. By making signals enter the spine from the sides. 30. Which can best describe Bloch’s idea in the last paragraph? A. Practice makes perfect. B. It’s hard to please all. C. Every garden has its weeds. D. Put the cart before the horse. 31. What is the writing purpose of this text? A. To report the consequence of spinal cord injuries. B. To introduce the findings of a recent research. C. To recommend a treatment for paralyzed patients. D. To compare a recent research with other previous researches. D Hiring processes can be thought of as a battle between integrity and dishonesty. You might imagine this is a simple fight between truth-seeking firms and self-promoting candidates, and to a certain extent it is. But companies themselves are prone (有倾向的) to bend reality out of shape in ways that are self-defeating. Start with the obvious wrongdoers: job applicants. When it comes to writing the resume (简历), they tend to massage (美化) reality into the most appealing shape possible. Everyone beyond a certain level of experience is a transformational leader personally responsible for generating millions income; the world economy would be about 15 times bigger than it actually is if all such claims were true. The average British spends four and a half hours a day watching TV and online videos. But each average job candidate is an enthusiast for public welfare, using their spare time only for worthy purposes, like volunteering in soup kitchens. But the tendency to stretch the truth infects companies as well as applicants. The typical firm will write a job description that invariably describes the work environment as fast-paced and innovative, and then lays out a set of improbable requirements for the “ideal candidate”, someone who almost by definition does not exist. Sometimes, the requirements include an ability to go back and change the course of history. Too few firms offer an accurate account of what a position actually involves in their job previews, which are supposed to give prospective employees a genuine sense of the negatives and positives of the job, as well as a clear idea of the company’s corporate culture. One effective strategy is to lay out in text or video what a typical day in the role would look like. Such honesty can be its own reward. Research has long suggested that realistic job previews lead to lower turnover and higher employee satisfaction. A paper in 2011 by David Earnest of Towson University and his co-authors concluded that favourable perceptions of the organisation’s honesty are the best explanation for why. So a process designed to uncover the truth about job applicants would run a lot more smoothly if firms were also honest about themselves. 32. Why are “leader” and “enthusiast” mentioned in paragraph 2? A. To present a rule. B. To give examples. C. To make a comparison. D. To explain a phenomenon. 33. What does the underlined word “stretch” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Overturn. B. Overstate. C. Overlook. D. Overestimate. 34. What are job previews expected to be like in paragraph 4? A. They show a position as it is. B. They are made either in text or video. C. They are favorable for bigger firms. D. They mainly contain negatives of a job. 35. Which of the following is the best title of the passage? A. Pains and gains of employees. B. Dishonest behavior of companies. C. How to be more appealing in hiring. D. How to get the lying out of hiring. 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。 Learning disorders, such as ADHD, dyscalculia, auditory processing disorder, and dysgraphia, can significantly impact a person’s life. 36 In fact, it’s been shown to impact about 20% of the world’s population, or 1 in 5 people. And it’s even more common among people who are already struggling with other learning disorders, affecting some 80% to 90% of them. Dyslexia is a brain-based learning disorder that affects how people process written language, especially in reading, writing and spelling. People with dyslexia may struggle with decoding words, matching letters with sounds, reversing or transposing (使调换顺序) letters or words, remembering what they’ve read or doing math. 37 Complicating matters, dyslexia can also affect other mental health challenges. It is documented that children with dyslexia are more subject to behavioral or emotional conditions, including anxiety and depression. One reason for this is that social withdrawal and self-esteem problems can arise from someone’s inability to perform in comparison to their peers. 38 Environmental influences such as growing up in a household where reading isn’t encouraged or supported can contribute to its development. Boys are more likely to have  reading difficulty than girls due to certain gender-related factors. 39 According to relative research, dyslexia occurs in up to 68% of identical twins of individuals with dyslexia and up to 50% of individuals with a first-degree relative with dyslexia. Regardless of its causes, dyslexia is a condition that can be diagnosed by a mental health professional and treated and supported through many helpful and proven interventions. Despite the struggles associated with dyslexia, it doesn’t impact a person’s intelligence or creativity. 40 A.There’s no need to panic, though. B. Genetics also plays a significant role. C. So what’s behind this learning disorder? D. Indeed, many people with it find ways to adapt and thrive. E. People at different stages will be impacted by dyslexia differently. F. However, dyslexia stands out as the most common learning disability. G.These and many everyday tasks can make school or work challenging. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节, 满分30分） 第一节（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四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I often helped at Grandma’s restaurant on weekends.

My assignment was to record the 400-meter race in the sports meet. All the students in our class were sitting anxiously except one, a tall handsome boy named Tommy who was considered the one most likely to win the race. Unlike other competitors, he was quite relaxed, standing beside the track and stretching himself. “Tommy! I bet you’ll win.” I yelled at him. “Just wait and see!” A big smile spread across his face. “May I have your attention, please? All the athletes are requested to proceed to the registration office.” A gentle voice caught our attention. “Tommy, your show time!” I shouted and gave him a thumb-up. Then, I saw all the athletes went to register, preparing for the game. Soon they were all on the starting line. Taking the best recording location, I raised my camera, ready to shoot. With the loud sound of the starting gun, all the competitors threw themselves forwards from the starting line like arrows. Tommy quickly took the lead with his excellent explosive power from the long-term training. But there was one problem for me — I had to spare every effort to control my excitement in order to keep my shooting picture stable. “Come on, Tommy!” Still, I could hear the cheers of our classmates higher and higher. It seemed that Tommy had heard the powerful shouts and became full of strength. He kept adjusting his breath, maintaining a steady rhythm, and approaching the finish line step by step. Finally, with the cheers of the audience, Tommy crossed the finish line almost at the same time with the second-place finisher. How I wish I could rush to him and give him a big bear hug! But I could not. I had to finish recording the whole race, so I waited until the last competitor crossed the finish line. Suddenly, I noticed there was an unusual noise from the crowd. 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。 Tommy was ranked second on the scoreboard.

We do what we can.(这就是老年的含义。我们做我们能做的。)”可推测出，作者提到麻雀的故事是为了表达作者对于麻雀行为的赞同，作者认为我们做自己能做的就可以了。故选B。 【小题26】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上一句“We are so physically vulnerable in older age, but friendship makes it all a rowing machine for the soul.(上了年纪，我们的身体是如此脆弱，但友谊使它成为灵魂的划船机。)”可知，划线单词“it”所指的是上了年纪后，我们的身体会脆弱。故选C。 【小题 27】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“We know by a certain age the great lie in our life — if you do or achieve this or that, you will be happy and rich. No. Love and service make us rich.(到了一定的年龄，我们就会知道生活中最大的谎言——如果你做到了或实现了这个或那个，你就会快乐和富有。不。爱和服务使我们富有。)”可知，作者认为幸福不是通过实现重要的人生目标获得的，而是通过爱和服务的生活方式来获得的。故选A。 C篇： 【答案】28. C 29. D 30. A 31. B 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了一项新的研究发明，研究人员通过在三名瘫痪患者身上装置一种新型的电子设备从而帮助他们重新行走。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Now in the latest experiment led by Gregoire Courtine and Jocelyne Bloch of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne, three paralyzed men were implanted a new electrical device designed to copy an action of the brain, in which it sends signals to the spinal cord that result in muscle movement.(目前，在由来自瑞士洛桑联邦理工学院的Gregoire Courtine和Jocelyne Bloch领导的最新实验中，三个瘫痪的人被植入一个新的电子设备，该设备可以复制大脑的动作，在这个动作中，它向脊髓发送信号到从而导致肌肉运动。)”可推断，这个新的设备会模仿大脑向脊髓发送信号。故选C。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Unlike other attempts to help paralyzed patients walk by stimulating nerves through the back of the spine, Courtine said that his team redesigned the devices so signals would enter the spine from the sides. (与其他通过刺激脊椎后部的神经来帮助瘫痪患者行走的尝试不同，Courtine说，他的团队重新设计了这种设备，使信号可以从两侧进入脊椎。)”可知，这种新的设备可以让信号从两侧进入脊椎。故选D。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Still，Bloch said, “The more they train, the more they start lifting their muscles, the more fluid it becomes.” (尽管如此，Bloch说：“他们训练得越多，就越开始提升肌肉，肌肉就变得越流畅。”) 可知，越训练就越熟练。选项A“Practice makes perfect. (熟能生巧)”；选项B“It’s hard to please all. (众口难调)”；选项C “Every garden has its weeds. (人无完人)”；选项D “Put the cart before the horse. (本末倒置)”。根据句意，应表示熟能生巧。故选A。 31题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Researchers say a new electrical device placed in three paralyzed patients has helped them walk again.(研究人员表示，在三名瘫痪患者身上放置的一种新的电子设备已经帮助他们重新行走。)”可推断，这篇文章的主要目的是介绍最近一项新的研究所取得的成果。故选B。 D篇： 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了招聘过程中求职者和公司都倾向于夸大事实，很少有公司提供真实的职位预览，但研究表明，诚实是一种回报，真实的职位预览会降低离职率, 提高员工满意度。 32. D 推理判断题。第二段中的“When it comes to writing the resume,they tend to massage reality into the most appealing shape possible,”提到求职者写简历时会美化现实，下文中的“Everyone beyond a certain level of experience is a... millions income”和“But each average job candidate is an enthusiast for public welfare, using...kitchens.”都是举例具体说明上述现象,故选D项。 33. B 词句猜测题。根据画线词下文“as well as applicants’以及“The typical firm will write a job... by definition does not exist.”可知,公司和申请者一样, 也有夸大事实的倾向, stretch意为“夸大”故选B项。 34. A 细节理解题。根据第四段内容可知，职位预览应该展示一个职位的真实情况, 故选A项。 35. D 主旨大意题。根据全文内容, 结合最后一段中的“Such honesty can be its own reward,”可知,文章介绍了招聘过程中求职者和公司都倾向于夸大事实，很少有公司提供真实的职位预览，但研究表明，诚实是一种回报，真实的职位预览会降低离职率,提高员工满意度, D项“如何消除招聘中的谎言”能够总结文章大意，故选D项。 七选五： 36-40 FGCBD 本文是一篇说明文，专注于剖析学习障碍谱系中的一大类别——阅读障碍（dyslexia）。文中不仅界定了阅读障碍的定义，还深入探讨了其广泛存在的普遍性、错综复杂的成因，以及一系列行之有效的应对策略。 36.解析：此空前句子介绍了学习障碍的多样表现，此空下一句话具体解释了阅读障碍的普遍性，由此得知本句话是引出阅读障碍是最普遍的学习障碍，与上文构成转折关系。故选F。 37. 解析：此空前的句子描述了阅读障碍者在阅读、写作、拼写等方面的困难，此空进一步说明了这些困难如何影响他们的日常生活和工作学习，故选G。 38. 解析：此空即时是段落主题句，又起到了上下段落的过渡作用。根据下文中Environmental influences和certain gender-related factors，得知本段讨论产生阅读障碍的原因，故选C。 39. 解析：此空前的句子提到了环境因素和性别因素在阅读障碍中的影响，后文又提到了关于双胞胎和一级亲属的研究体，由此得知此空应该提及另一个关键因素即遗传在阅读障碍中的作用，与前文逻辑关系上平行，后文又是对其的进一步解释，故选B。40. 解析：此空前一句说明阅读障碍并不影响一个人的智力或创造力。此空进一步说明通过一定的措施，有阅读障碍者甚至可以适应并且获得成功，故选D。 完形：CBBAC DCDAB DACAB 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述的是作者发现并救助了一只小猫的故事。 【41题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：这个星期六早上，当我在餐馆后面的巷子里时，我注意到一些奇怪的事情。根据下文“Our dustbins had been knocked over (我们的垃圾桶被撞倒了)”可知，作者注意到一些奇怪的事情。故选C。 【42题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：我一边想，一边迅速收拾残局，然后去餐厅帮忙准备早餐。根据上文“This Saturday morning 这个星期六早上)”可知，作者应该是要赶着做早饭。故选B。 【43题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：第二天一大早，当我坐起来向窗外望去时，我看到了垃圾箱——又翻了！根据上一段“Our dustbins had been knocked over(我们的垃圾桶被撞倒了)”和下文“over yet again”可知，垃圾箱是被人翻倒了，空格处用tipped。故选B。 【44题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：从垃圾箱里出来一只灰色的小猫。根据下文“from the dustbin was a little gray cat”可知，一只猫出现了。故选A。 【45题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：我跳下床，跑到巷子里。wandered徘徊； raced快速移动；jogged慢跑; marched行军。根据下文“down to the alley”可知，作者是快速跑到巷子里，race表示“快速移动”。故选C。 【46题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：我终于明白了。 admitting承认；reflecting反思；wondering；understanding明白想知道。根据上文“So you’re the one that knocked over the dustbin”可知，作者终于明白是谁把垃圾箱翻倒了。故选D。 【47题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：我看着小猫抓着一个容器，想把吃了一半的虾饺塞进去。 根据下文“at a container”可知，猫抓着容器。故选C。 【48题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：我看着小猫抓着一个容器，想把吃了一半的虾饺塞进去。well-done完全煮熟的；eye-catching引人注目的；under-cooked；half-eaten吃了一半的，煮得欠熟的。根据下文“shrimp dumplings inside”可知，猫想把吃了一半的虾饺塞进去。故选D。 【49题详解】 考查动词短语辨析。句意：雨下得越来越大，可怜的小猫吓得不敢从它的新藏身处出来。A. picking up增加，势头增大，加速； showing up出现； letting up减弱；easing up减轻。根据下文“the poor kitty was too scared to come out of his new hiding spot”可知，雨越下越大，所以猫吓得不敢出来。故选A。 【50题详解】 考查副词词义辨析。句意：然后，我慢慢地向车库走去，我在那里的地板上放了一条毯子。根据上文“Luckily, I had an idea.

As the high school students who are about to enter the university, career planning is a new topic challenging us. Every individual will make their own career plan, and I am no exception.  I intend to become a scientist like Yuan Longping, the “father of hybrid rice”, making contributions to the food problems in our country and even the world. To achieve my goal, it is a must for me to make my academic excellence and enter a top university for wider knowledge and more professional skills. Plus, I sign up for academic competition in biology to improve my understanding of genetic engineering and lay a solid foundation for my future career. Ambitions differ from person to person. As long as we are prepared for the future career, we will live up to our youthful days.  One possible version: Tommy was ranked second on the scoreboard. Feeling puzzled, Tommy immediately found the judge and pointed out this mistake politely. However, the second-place finisher insisted he was the winner, and no one could tell exactly what had happened. Feeling frustrated, Tommy was at a loss what to do, when it suddenly occurred to me that I had recorded the whole process. Rushing to the judge, I showed him the video, which clarified the fact that it was Tommy who first arrived. The judge admitted the error and announced Tommy was the real champion. On hearing this, Tommy could hardly contain his joy and gave a jump in the air, with the audience breaking into thunderous applause. Shouldering his way through the crowd, Tommy gathered me in his arms tightly with a proud smile on his face. Both of us knew that not only was this a victory of a race, but it was also a victory of sticking to the truth and daring to fight for it in appropriate ways. 【1原文】 W: Excuse me.

Guitar masters? M: This Spanish band is really good. I almost enjoyed every song of the band. They play fantastic instruments and I’ve never heard anything like it before. W: Sounds great.

The seventeenth of June or the twenty second of June? W: I prefer the latter one. M: Copy that. 【14-17原文】 W: My favorite uploader shared something new. M: Interesting. Who is the uploader?

These first kites were probably made of wood. They may even have been covered with silk. Early kites were built for certain uses. In ancient China, they were used to carry ropes to cross rivers. It’s said that one general flew musical kites over the enemy’s camp. The enemy fled out of great fear. In the thirteenth century, as Marco Polo wrote in his book, a trader named Adam Smith’s tied some armed soldiers to a huge kite and launched the kite with wind. By the fifteenth century, many people flew kites in Europe. Marco Polo may have brought the kite back from his visit to China. In late 1500s, kite flying was first mentioned in England in a popular book by John Bate. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$英语听力部分。听力考试正式开始。请看听力部分第一节。第一节听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的ABC3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。现在你有5秒钟的时间阅读第一小题的有关内容。Excuse me, could you tell me where the visitors parking is?
