It focuses on the effects of pesticides (杀虫剂) on the environment, especially DDT, which was finally outlawed in 1972. The book led to a change in the United States pesticide policy (Ex) and played a key role in the creation of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), a governmental organization in the US. The End of Nature (1989) The End of Nature describes the relationship between nature and humans. It expresses the idea that nature has now been influenced by humans in every way. According to author Bill McKibben, the idea of wilderness is lost, and nature is no longer intact. McKibben says that we need to change how we view and interact with nature. Braiding Sweetgrass (2013) Braiding Sweetgrass, written by Robin Wall Kimmerer, looks at the relationship between humans and the land. As a member of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation, Kimmerer ties lessons she learned from her culture and history to Western society’s view of plants and tries to show the importance plants and animals have in our world. Braiding Sweetgrass won the 2014 Sigurd F. Olson Nature Writing Award (SONWA). The Uninhabitable Earth (2019) This book by David Wallace-Wells provides a close look at how we treat the Earth and how our actions will shape both our own future and that of the planet. The Uninhabitable Earth looks ahead to the year 2100 and states that present actions will not be enough to avoid the effects of climate change. Its opening line is quite telling: “It is worse, much worse, than you think.” 1. Which book led to the creation of the EPA? A. Silent Spring. B. The End of Nature. C Braiding Sweetgrass. D. The Uninhabitable Earth. 2. When was the book that won SONWA first printed? A. In 1962. B. In 1989. C. In 2013. D. In 2014. 3. Who wrote the book about climate change? A. Rachel Carson. B. Bill McKibben. C. Robin Wall Kimmerer. D. David Wallace-Wells. B For many people, barbecues are a chance to enjoy a meal with family and friends. For Stan Hays, however, barbecuing becomes his skill to feed people in need when the disaster happens. The unique effort began in May 2011, when a severe tornado (龙卷风) hit Joplin, about two hours from Hays’ home. His wife asked him to help. So, he put out the word to his partners and headed down with his barbecue. “We thought we’d be there three to four days, serving maybe 5,000 meals,” Hays said. But the need was there, so Hays and over 300 volunteers worked for 11 days to meet the need. It was a life-changing experience for Hays, who had never organized any type of large voluntary effort before. While preparing to head home, he and his friends Will Cleaver and Jeff Stith came to the realization. “A barbecue community is able to respond to disasters like this quickly,” Hays said. “So, before we left, we put together a plan to create the Operation BBQ Relief.” During the last six years, the group has responded to almost 45 disasters across the United States, most recently Hurricanes Harvey and Irma and the wildfires in northern California. More than 6,800 volunteers have joined the effort, and the group often partners with other organizations to serve the meals. “Barbecues are comfort food,” Hays said. “If you just lost your house or a loved one, getting a hot meal would remind you of the barbecues you had in the backyard and make you forget about the bad stuff in your life. That’s worth it to me.” 4. What can we learn from the second paragraph? A. The tornado happened in July 2011. B. Supplies were far from enough for the victims. C. Volunteers couldn’t meet the requirements. D. The need for food was beyond Hays’ expectation. 5. What made Hays create the Operation BBQ Relief? A. His wife’s suggestion. B. His preference for barbecues. C. A voluntary activity in Joplin. D. The high earnings from barbecues. 6. Which of the following words can best describe Hays? A. Warm-hearted. B. Strong-willed. C. Broad-minded. D. Good-tempered. 7. What’s the text mainly about? A. The bright future of barbecues. B. The role of barbecues in voluntary activities. C. An effective approach was used to rescue victims. D. When disasters fall, they bring barbecues. C Guidelines from the World Health Organization (WHO) and most governments recommend (推荐) that adults do at least 150 minutes per week of moderate (适度的) physical activity or 75 minutes per week of vigorous (剧烈的) physical activity. Plenty of people want to meet this level of exercise but find it difficult to do so because of the busy lives many of us lead. However, a team of researchers has discovered that even if you only have time to exercise once or twice a week, you can still get the same benefits as those who exercise more frequently. The study found that people named “weekend warriors”— in other words, those who shorten their exercise to just Saturday or Sunday — can lose the same amount of weight as those who exercise every day as long as they meet the recommendations set out by the WHO. Researchers collected results from more than 9,600 volunteers, aged between 20 and 59 years old, who took part in the US National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey between 2011 and 2018.The team examined the volunteers’ general body fat using a special technique and through other measurements such as BMI. Next, they explored the connection between these and physical activity levels, using data from three groups: inactive, “weekend warriors” and frequently active. Results showed that the “weekend warriors” and the frequently active volunteers had lower body fat and lower BMIs. The research team believes their findings will be especially welcomed by people whose jobs mean they sit for most of the day. “The weekend warrior method is worth recommending to people who cannot meet the recommended frequency in the guidelines,” said lead author Lihua Zhang, a healthcare scientist at Fuwai Hospital and professor at Peking Union Medical College in Beijing, China. “Our study could offer them another choice to keep fit.” “The key message is that people should be active in any way that suits their lifestyle,” said Dr. Beverly Tchang, assistant professor at Weill Cornell Medicine in New York. “All kinds of exercise are welcome, whether that be running, hiking, cycling, climbing, or other choices.” 8. What does the underlined word “benefits” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Feelings. B. Problems. C. Services. D. Advantages. 9. Of the following people, who would most welcome the study findings? A. Tour guides. B. Taxi drivers. C. School teachers. D. Traffic policemen. 10. What is Lihua Zhang’s attitude towards the weekend warrior method? A. Carefree. B. Doubtful. C. Supportive. D. Uncertain. 11. What is the main focus of Dr. Beverly Tchang words? A. Daily exercise matters. B. Running is the best choice. C. Any activity is better than none. D. Small lifestyle changes will work. 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。 What is the Best Way to Learn a Language? There is no “best” way to learn a language because everyone learns slightly differently. ____12____Here are some of the most frequent recommendations. ◆Watch foreign language TV and movies. Not everyone has the opportunity to be exposed to the environment where the native language is spoken or to speak to native speakers. TV and movies offer a good chance to hear native speakers use the language.____13____Watching their movies and TV shows helps you better understand their culture. ◆Get out of your comfort zone. This is a lesson for life, not just for learning a language! Get out there and do something that scares you. Talk to a foreigner in their language.____14____ Write someone a message in their language. Whatever that zone is where you feel safe and relaxed and easy, get out of that zone because you can learn nothing from it. Push yourself and you’ll see that it’s not so bad in this world. ◆____15____ Don’t think of language as a tool, think of it as a musical instrument. When you learn three chords on guitar, you can play hundreds of songs. Words are the same. For example, take the word “real”, and look at its different forms: real, really, realise, realistic, realism, realist, unreal. . . ◆Make mistakes, it’s fine, it’s even great! Shyness and fear of making mistakes is common. However, nobody cares if you make mistakes. When you speak a foreign language, everyone knows it’s not your mother tongue and they’re already impressed that you’re speaking it at all.____16____ A. Avoid making mistakes. B. TV and movies solve that problem easily. C. Don’t just memorize words, play with them. D. Order food from a French restaurant in French. E. Talk, make mistakes, fall down, get back up, that’s life. F. Besides, learning a language is a doorway into another culture. G. However, some methods appear to be more effective than others. 第三部分 语言运用（共三节，满分40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和D 四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 As a teenager, sports and physical education classes were not for me.

I had just left George’s Hardware Store carrying a few things I needed for some home repairs. I was a bit behind schedule, so I hurried to my car, put the items in the trunk (后备箱), and then shut it. As I reached into my pocket for my keys, I realized that I didn’t have them. My heart sank as I rushed to the driver’s side door. Sure enough, my keys and phone were sitting on the front seat, locked inside. “Seriously?” I sighed, kicking the tire. Just then, a teenager on a red bike rode up. He looked about 16, with messy brown hair and a worn backpack. His bike looked just as worn as the rest of him, but he pedaled (骑车) gracefully and effortlessly. And he had a friendly smile on his face. Noticing I was in trouble, he asked what had happened. After I explained my situation, he offered his phone at once, suggesting that I call someone for help. Though grateful, I told him that even if I called my wife, who had the spare key, she wouldn’t be able to bring it since this was our only car. The boy listened carefully, thought for a moment, and asked where my house was. When I told him it was on Morris Street, he glanced at his bike and suggested that he ride over, grab the spare key from my wife, and bring it back. I hesitated, realizing it would be an 11-kilometre round trip, almost an hour’s ride, and I suddenly felt bad for the boy. But before I could say anything, he handed me his phone and insisted that I call my wife and tell her to have the key ready. His confidence and determination left me with little room to argue. I agreed and made the call. 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。 As soon as I hung up, the boy wasted no time. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ An hour later, as I saw the boy cycling toward me, my worries were gone. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 昆八中2025-2026学年度上学期期中考 高一英语试卷 考试时间：120分钟 满分：150分 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。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.

The lecture took place in the school hall at 3:00 p.m. last Friday. Professor Li introduced the causes and types of earthquakes, and then focused on how to prevent and deal with earthquakes. He also demonstrated some practical self-help skills, such as how to take cover during an earthquake and how to evacuate safely. The lecture was very informative and practical. We not only learned a lot of knowledge about earthquakes, but also improved our awareness of self-protection. We all felt that this lecture was very meaningful and helpful. 第二节（满分25分） 【53题答案】 【答案】 As soon as I hung up, the boy wasted no time. He quickly dialed a number on his phone. I assumed it was to let his family know where he was going, so they wouldn’t worry. He adjusted his backpack, making sure it was secure for the long ride. Then, with a determined look in his eye, he got back on his bike and started pedaling towards Morris Street. I watched him until he was out of sight, feeling a mix of gratitude and guilt for troubling him, but also admiring his sense of responsibility and willingness to help. An hour later, as I saw the boy cycling toward me, my worries were gone. As he approached, I could see beads of sweat on his forehead, but his face was lit up with a sense of accomplishment. I thanked him sincerely, offering him some money as a token of my appreciation. He politely declined, saying it was just a small thing he could do to help out a neighbor. With that, he got back on his bike and rode off, leaving me with a profound sense of gratitude and a reminder that kindness still exists in this world. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
