Tightly holding the permission slip,I ran all the way home after school.I burst through the door,eager to share my discovery with my mom.I explained how the violin's sound had captivated me,and to my surprise,she sensed the genuine passion in my words.With a gentle smile,she signed the slip,giving me her silent blessing to pursue this new path.That evening,I immersed myself in the violin's world,my fingers exploring its contours,learning its structure.As I practiced,each scale and note became a step in my transformation,from a hesitant swimmer to a budding musician. Finally came the tryout for the first seat.I stood before the mirror,the violin secure under my chin,feeling the strings resonate with my touch.The notes I played were echoes of my dedication,reflections of the hours I'd spent honing my skills.Stepping into the audition room,I felt the outside world melt away,leaving only the music and my connection to it.The judges'gazes were upon me.The violin was no longer just an instrument;it was a part of who I was becoming,and as the last note faded,I knew I had found not just a voice,but a new identity.This audition marked my emergence from the challenges of the past into a future filled with potential 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了Tara在母亲的期望下尝试游泳但并不喜欢这项活动，直到她发现自己对小 答案第10页，共11页 绝密★启用前 试卷类型：B 2024—2025学年（上）高二年级期中考试 英 语 考生注意： 1．本试卷分选择题和非选择题两部分。答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题纸上。 2．回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用2B铅笔把答题纸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。写在本试卷上无效。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题纸上。写在本试卷上无效。 3．考试结束后，请监考员将本试卷与答题卡一并收回。 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2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?

A．Science B．Today’s News C．Entertainment D．History and Culture B Born in Sudan in 1990, Hamza Yassin is a wildlife cameraman and TV presenter. He was eight when they landed in the UK. Besides the changes in climate, he also had to adjust to the change in pets: “Where’s everyone’s pet lions and monkeys? It was all cats and dogs. I hadn’t realised what a special upbringing I had had. But it was the UK that cemented my love of wildlife. At first glance, it doesn’t look like there is a lot of wildlife, especially in the winter. But if you peel back the layers, there is so much.” Though his doctor parents didn’t have time to closely teach him, they did turn on the television; in particular, the Discovery Channel. David Attenborough’s The Life of Birds was an eye-opening experience, and Steve Irwin was a huge inspiration, too. While he thought they had cool jobs, he never thought he could be a presenter. He never saw anyone like him in front of the camera. He was a teenager who wasn’t white. It was still a long road to establishing his career, though. It was not until after he became an assistant for the incredible wildlife cameraman Jesse Wilkinson that he realized he needed to create his own journey. When he was21, he traveled with friends to the Highlands. Two weeks later, he was back there for good. He told his parents he was living in a beautiful cottage. The truth was that he was living in his car, just trying to make ends meet. He parked at the local ferry terminal but lived there happily for nine months, doing odd jobs — cutting grass, and moving furniture to earn enough money to survive. During that time, he was cutting his teeth as a wildlife cameraman — he was determined that he wouldn’t go back to Northampton with his tail between his legs and say to his parents: “I’ve been defeated.” Luckily, everything paid off. That experience taught him everything he needed to know about the profession. Eventually, Hamza became a renowned wildlife cameraman, inspiring others to pursue their dreams regardless of their background. 24．What does the underlined word “cemented” in paragraph 2 refer to? A．Strengthened. B．Assessed. C．Challenged. D．Reduced. 25．Why didn’t Hamza think he could be a TV presenter at the beginning? A．He took no passion for being a presenter. B．He feared to stand in front of the camera. C．He lacked confidence because of his color. D．He obtained little support from his parents. 26．Why does the author mention Hamza’s trip to the Highlands? A．It led to a life-long friendship. B．It enriched his life experience. C．It refined his photography skills. D．It started his own career journey. 27．What can we learn from Hamza’s experience? A．Great minds think alike. B．Strike while the iron is hot. C．Actions speak louder than words. D．Where there’s a will, there’s a way. C How’s this for a coincidence (巧合)? Charles Darwin and Abraham Lincoln were born in the same year, on the same day: Feb. 12, 1809. Although people hardly think of them together, yet we want to say that they belong together. It’s not just because they were both great men, and not because they happen to live at the same time. Rather, it’s because the scientist and the politician each started a revolution that changed the world. They were both revolutionaries in the sense that both men changed the realities when they were born. They seem and sound modern to us, because the world they left behind them is more or less the one we still live in. So, considering the joint greatness of their contributions and the coincidence of their birthdays ---- it is hard to wonder: who was the greatest man? It’s an apples and oranges--- or Superman vs. Santa---comparison. But if you limit the question to influence, very quickly the balance tips in Lincoln’s favor. As great as his book on evolution is, it does no harm to remember that Darwin hurried to publish The Origin of Species because he thought he was about to be scooped (抢先) by his fellow naturalist Alfred Russel Wallace. Lincoln, however, is unique. True, his election as the president did cause the recession (衰退) and the war, but that war seems certain to happen---not a question of if but when. Certainly we know what happened after he was murdered: Reconstruction was organized and then abandoned, leaving the issue of racial (种族的) equality unsolved for another century. Surely we should not deny Darwin’s accomplishment. But their same birthdays gave us a great opportunity to observe these men of their time. 28．Why does the author say Charles Darwin and Abraham Lincoln belong together? A．They were born on the same day. B．They lived in the same period of time. C．They started revolutions changing the world. D．They were both great men in the history. 29．What does the author mean by “an apples and oranges---- or Superman vs. Santa --comparison” ? A．It is hard to tell which one is greater as they are both outstanding. B．The comparison between Darwin and Lincoln is easy and obvious. C．It is difficult to compare them as they are as famous as Superman and Santa. D．There is no point comparing them because they were born on the same day. 30．Lincoln’s contribution to the world can be best described as__________ A．narrow. B．aggressive. C．independent. D．ground-breaking. 31．What can we learn from the passage? A．Lincoln’s success in election caused reconstruction. B．Lincoln had tried to solve the racial problem. C．Darwin was unique compared with Lincoln. D．Darwin’s theory is similar to Lincoln’s belief. D The new e-skin improves tasks requiring accuracy and force control, overcoming a big challenge in advancing technology. Unlike traditional e-skins, this new e-skin stays accurate even when it stretches. “Much like human skin has to stretch and bend as we move, so does e-skin,” explains Nanshu Lu, a professor in the Cockrell School. The breakthrough lies in an innovative hybrid response pressure sensor that Lu and her partners have developed over years. Lu sees the stretchable e-skin as an important part of a robot hand that can mirror the softness and sensitivity of a human hand. This new e-skin technology senses pressure from contact, letting the attached machine know how much force to use to, for example, hold a cup or touch a person. In demonstrations, the new e-skin allowed the robot hand to adapt to various sensitive tasks, such as accurately measuring human pulse (脉搏) and pulse waves, securely holding objects without dropping them and even handling unexpected items like coins inside a glass or pressing on a potato chip without breaking it. Lu and her team are currently exploring potential applications, including partnering to build a robotic arm equipped with the e-skin technology. They have also applied for a basic patent for the e-skin, indicating its potential for business use. In a world where the aging population exceeds (超过) the number of caregivers, the need for efficient and gentle care solutions is necessary. Lu believes robots equipped with advanced technologies like the stretchable e-skin could play a vital role in dealing with this global challenge. Beyond medicine,human-caring robots could be used in disasters. They could search for injured and trapped people in an earthquake or a collapsed building. From healthcare to disaster response, the potential is significant. With further development and cooperation with robotics companies, Lu hopes to see this e-skin technology make its way to the market, marking the beginning of a new era of human-robot interaction and care. 32．What advantage does the new e-skin have over traditional e-skins? A．It keeps accurate even when stretching. B．It enables robots to move at a fast speed. C．It allows robot hands to bend into all shapes. D．It helps robot hands control with less force. 33．What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A．The wide applications of the new e-skin. B．The important development of the new e-skin. C．The major challenge of the pressure sensor. D．The strong function of the pressure sensor. 34．What can robots with the new e-skin do for the global challenge of aging population? A．Reduce healthcare costs. B．Limit global business use. C．Replace human caregivers. D．Improve medical care efficiency. 35．What is the author’s attitude to the future of the new e-skin? A．Doubtful. B．Unclear C．Positive. D．Disapproving. 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，并在答题卡上将该项 涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 You may have grown up living with lots of siblings, or this may be your first time sharing your living space with someone else. While having a roommate inevitably has its challenges, it can also be a great part of your college experience. 36 Respect your roommate’s stuff This may seem simple, but it’s probably one of the biggest reasons why roommates experience conflict.

She would always say, “Join the swim team, Tara. Your sister is a good swimmer, so you should be too.” But she didn’t know that I was really scared of water. Even though I was afraid, I had to do this activity that made me nervous. Every Saturday was a struggle. I would ask Mom with all my heart not to make me go to the swim meet. But most of the time, I didn’t succeed. When the starting gun went off with a loud sound, I would gather all my courage and strength and jump into the cold water. I would swim as fast as I could to the other side of the pool, but I would always see the other swimmers pass me easily. But I didn’t give up completely. The reason was my dad. When I finally reached the edge of the pool, tired and defeated, he would be there with a warm, dry towel. He would tell me that he was proud of my hard work. His words and presence were like a life buoy, keeping me going in this uncertain situation. Then, a big turning point came. Our school orchestra (管弦乐队) came to our class and gave a performance. The drums were just annoying, and the flutes were boring. But when I heard the violin… oh, that was different. It made the most beautiful sound I had ever heard. My heart started to dance with its melody. For the first time in my life, I was very happy. And what’s more, the orchestra director gave me a permission slip (许可单) for my parents to sign, asking me to try out for the first seat in the community orchestra. This was a new start, a glimmer of hope in a journey that had been full of challenges and uncertainties. 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。 Paragraph 1: Tightly holding the permission slip, I ran all the way home after school. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Finally came the tryout for the first seat. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 英语试题 第7页（共8页） 英语试题 第8页（共8页） 英语试题 第5页（共8页） 英语试题 第6页（共8页） 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
