This morning I was driving slower than usual because an early March snow had turned the roads slippery. Going up a mountain road, I had to slow down as I rounded a sharp, snowy turn. That was when I saw a majestic buck deer standing in the middle of the road. I came to a full stop and for a few seconds we just stared at each other. His eyes seemed wise and his composure refined. Finally, he nodded his head at me. I nodded in return and motioned with my hand for him to go on. He then leapt across the road, up the hill, and back into the woods. I drove on smiling at the magic of this moment and thanked that I had been going slowly enough not to hit this beautiful creature. Most of us rush through this life not knowing what we are missing. We rarely get to enjoy what each day brings us. Wouldn’t it be better to go slowly through our days here? Life is meant to be savored. Moments are meant to be cherished. Days are meant to be lived in love and joy not flown through at a hurried speed. The next time you find yourself going too fast, slow down. Take the time to watch the sun rise over the horizon and fill the world with light. Take the time to look your children in their eyes, hug them, and tell them that you love them. Take the time to smile, laugh, and sing. Take the time to read, lounge, and relax. Take the time to live your life with love and delight in all the miracles each day brings you. If you do, your life will be so much better and more beautiful. And you might even end up not hitting a deer on your way home. 4. How did the author feel after his interaction with the deer? A. Disappointed. B. Optimistic. C. Grateful. D. Funny. 5. The word “savored” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to “______”. A. suffered all the time B. enjoyed to the fullest C. discovered step by step D. challenged in every way 6. Why did the author drive slowly on that morning? A. Because he wanted to enjoy the forest scenery. B. Because he saw a majestic buck deer. C. Because snow made the road difficult for cars to drive on. D. Because he took the time to watch the sunrise over the horizon. 7. What does the author want to tell us with this article? A. The most important thing in life is to be happy. B. Living in harmony with nature is a must. C. Modern life is not as good as life in earlier times. D. Life is supposed to be appreciated. 【答案】4. C 5. B 6. C 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述作者因山路积雪低速驾驶时偶遇雄鹿的经历，进而引发对“放慢生活节奏、珍惜当下”的人生感悟。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“I drove on smiling at the magic of this moment and thanked that I had been going slowly enough not to hit this beautiful creature.(我继续开车，为这一刻的奇妙而微笑，并庆幸自己开得足够慢，没有撞到这个美丽的生灵。)”可知，作者与雄鹿互动后心怀感激。故选C项。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段中的“We rarely get to enjoy what each day brings us. Wouldn’t it be better to go slowly through our days here? Life is meant to be savored.(我们很少能享受每一天带来的东西。在这里慢慢度过每一天不是更好吗？生活本就应该被savored。)”可知，“savored”与“enjoy”语义相近，结合语境可推断其意为“尽情享受、细细品味”。故选B项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“This morning I was driving slower than usual because an early March snow had turned the roads slippery.(今天早上我开得比平时慢，因为三月初的一场雪让道路变得湿滑。)”可知，作者当天早上开得慢是因为积雪导致道路湿滑，不利于驾驶。故选C项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是第二段中的“Life is meant to be savored. Moments are meant to be cherished.(生活本就应该被细细品味，时光本就应该被好好珍惜。)”以及第三段中多次出现的“Take the time to...(花时间去……)”可知，作者想通过文章告诉我们，生活应该被用心欣赏和珍惜。故选D项。 C Every time we get on a plane, we’re asked to either turn off our phones or change them to flight mode — it’s for “security reasons”. But according to The Conversation website, having to turn our phones off on a plane is “a service issue, not a safety one”. When we speak on our phones in the air, they can cause interference to the aircraft’s radios and pilots can hear this interference in their headphones. “It’s the same noise you’ll be familiar with, if you put your mobile too close to a speaker,” the Mirror noted. “It is not safety-critical, but is annoying for sure.” Though speaking on a phone during a flight isn’t dangerous, from the viewpoint of service, it isn’t still a good idea. When we make or receive a call on the ground, we connect to a cell tower that deals with all calls within an 80-kilometer radius (半径). As we move from place to place we are “handed on” to different cell towers. As US scientist Sven Bilen explains, for this system to work, there are “built-in” expectations: There shouldn’t be too many “handoffs” and people shouldn’t be traveling faster than car speeds. “Of course, phone users should be close to the ground.” he added. If we were to make phone calls while we flew, however, none of these expectations would be met. And even worse, our cellphones would stop working. But now things are beginning to change. If we still can’t speak during a flight, we can use other phone functions. For example, Airbus A330 of Emirates Airlines has inflight WiFi to make passengers send and receive short messages in the air. In the future, as Bilen points out, it may be possible for air travelers to make and receive calls freely. The breakthrough could be “pico cells”, which are small cell towers on the plane itself. There would no longer be connections made between phones and the ground and therefore there would be no danger of disturbance of phone service. One day, perhaps, we will be chatting in the air as much as we chat on the ground. 8. Why is making a phone call NOT allowed on a plane? A. Because it will pose a threat to their safety. B. Because it can guarantee a better service. C. Because it fails to be connected to the cell tower. D. Because it may cause annoying noise to pilots. 9. How many “built-in” expectations are mentioned to help make a call? A. One. B. Two. C. Three. D. Four. 10. What can we infer from the passage? A. People need to travel slower than airplane speeds while phoning. B. Pico cells may contribute to free phone calls on a plane. C. Undisturbed phone service has been provided by airlines. D. Passengers can receive calls on Airbus A330 through inflight WiFi. 11. Where is the text most likely from? A. A newspaper. B. An official document. C. A guidebook. D. A science fiction story. 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. B 11. A 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。作者主要向我们介绍了在飞机上需要关闭手机的原因以及未来对可以在飞机上拨打或接听电话的期望。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“When we speak on our phones in the air, they can cause interference to the aircraft’s radios and pilots can hear this interference in their headphones. “It’s the same noise you’ll be familiar with, if you put your mobile too close to a speaker,” the Mirror noted.”可知，当我们在空中打电话时，会对飞机的无线电设备造成干扰，飞行员可以通过耳机听到这种干扰。“如果你把手机离扬声器太近，你就会熟悉这种噪音，”《镜报》指出。由此可知，乘客在飞机上必须关闭手机的原因是使用电话可能会给飞行员带来烦人的噪音。故选D。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“As US scientist Sven Bilen explains, for this system to work, there are “built-in” expectations: There shouldn’t be too many “handoffs” and people shouldn’t be traveling faster than car speeds. “Of course, phone users should be close to the ground.” he added.”可知，正如美国科学家Sven Bilen解释的那样，要让这个系统工作，有“内在的”期望：不应该有太多的“交接”，并且人们的旅行速度不应该超过汽车的速度。“当然，手机用户应该靠近地面。”他补充道。由此可知，一共有三个“内在的”期望被提到来帮助打电话，分别是不应该有太多“交接”、人们的旅行速度不应该超过汽车的速度、电话用户应该靠近地面。故选C。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段“In the future, as Bilen points out, it may be possible for air travelers to make and receive calls freely. The breakthrough could be “pico cells”, which are small cell towers on the plane itself.”可知，Bilen指出，在未来，航空旅客可以免费拨打和接听电话。突破可能是“微型电池”，这是飞机上的小型电池塔。由此推知，pico cells有助于飞机上无障碍通话的实现。故选B。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。文章主要讲了在飞机上需要关闭手机的原因以及未来对可以在飞机上拨打或接听电话的期望。由此可排除C、D选项；从语气上看并非正式的官方语气，故B不正确。因此，本文应该来自一份报纸。故选A。 D Farming is undergoing a remarkable transformation thanks to cutting-edge technologies reshaping how fruit is picked and handled. While autonomous drones (无人机) like Tevel’s Flying Robots are already harvesting fruit globally, innovations like UC San Diego’s GRIP-tape gripper represent the next frontier in gentle produce handling. Together, these advancements promise to make fruit production more efficient and precise, though one is a proven solution and the other is a glimpse into farming’s future. Tevel’s Flying Autonomous Robots (FARs) are redefining fruit harvesting by combining artificial intelligence with advanced computer vision. These drones navigate through orchards (果园), identifying and picking only the fruit that has reached peak ripeness. Their ability to weave carefully around branches allows them to harvest without bruising or harming the trees. Unlike human pickers, these drones can operate continuously, working day and night to get the job done faster and more consistently. Farmers are empowered by detailed, real-time information about the harvest, including the size, color and ripeness of each fruit, all accessible through a mobile app. This data helps improve harvesting schedules and reduce waste. Multiple drones work together from a mobile platform, covering large orchard areas efficiently. Beyond picking, these robots also detect diseases and track the location of each fruit bin, providing farmers with valuable insights to manage their crops better. While Tevel’s drones tackle harvesting, UC San Diego’s GRIP-tape gripper remains in the experimental stage as a solution for post-harvest handling. Inspired by steel measuring tapes, this prototype (原型) uses layered “fingers” to grasp delicate fruits gently. Early tests show promise in handling objects like lemons and tomatoes without damage, but it has yet to be widely adopted in farming. The gripper’s motorized reels (卷轴) allow its tape-based fingers to extend and convey items like a conveyor belt. Researchers highlight its low cost and safety around humans, but further development is needed to integrate it into commercial packing lines or harvesters. Tevel’s drones are already transforming orchards, while the GRIP-tape gripper offers a vision of how delicate produce handling could evolve. The combination of real-world automation and experimental robotics highlights both the immediate benefits and long-term potential of agritech innovation. 12. What do we know about FARs? A. They can work around the clock. B. They can identify different fruits. C. They redefine the artificial intelligence. D. They perform as efficiently as human workers. 13. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. The real-time data collected by mobile apps. B. The advantages of Tevel’s drones for farmers. C. The working process of multiple drones in orchards. D. The various attitudes of the farmers to Tevel’s drones. 14. What can be inferred about UC San Diego’s GRIP-tape gripper? A. It is inspired by human fingers. B. It is widely adopted in farming. C. It tackles the harvesting process. D. It is cost-effective but still in progress. 15. What’s the writing purpose of this text? A. To promote the use of robotics in farming. B. To compare two cutting-edge farming tools. C. To introduce two innovative agricultural technologies. D. To emphasize the long-term potential of autonomous drones. 【答案】12. A 13. B 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了两种创新的农业技术。一种是Tevel公司的飞行自主机器人（FARs）；另一种是加州大学圣地亚哥分校的GRIP-tape抓取器。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Unlike human pickers, these drones can operate continuously, working day and night to get the job done faster and more consistently.(与人工采摘者不同，这些无人机可以连续作业，不分昼夜地高效、稳定地完成采摘任务)”可知，FARs可以日夜不停地工作。故选A。 【13题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“Farmers are empowered by detailed, real-time information about the harvest, including the size, color and ripeness of each fruit, all accessible through a mobile app. This data helps improve harvesting schedules and reduce waste. Multiple drones work together from a mobile platform, covering large orchard areas efficiently.(农民们可以通过手机应用程序获取有关收获的详细实时信息，包括每颗水果的大小、颜色和成熟度。这些数据有助于优化采摘计划，减少浪费。多架无人机可以从一个移动平台上协同工作，高效覆盖大面积的果园)”可知，本段主要讲述了Tevel的无人机为农民带来的好处，如提供详细实时信息帮助改进收获计划、减少浪费。故选B。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Researchers highlight its low cost and safety around humans, but further development is needed to integrate it into commercial packing lines or harvesters.(研究人员强调了其成本低廉且对人类安全的特点，但还需要进一步开发才能将其集成到商业包装线或收割机中)”可推知，加州大学圣地亚哥分校的GRIP-tape抓取器成本效益高，但仍在研发过程中。故选D。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“While autonomous drones (无人机) like Tevel’s Flying Robots are already harvesting fruit globally, innovations like UC San Diego’s GRIP-tape gripper represent the next frontier in gentle produce handling.(虽然像Tevel的飞行机器人这类自主无人机已在全球范围内投入水果采摘作业，但加州大学圣地亚哥分校研发的GRIP-tape夹爪（卷尺式夹爪）则代表了农产品轻柔处理领域的下一个前沿方向)”和第二段“Tevel’s Flying Autonomous Robots (FARs) are redefining fruit harvesting by combining artificial intelligence with advanced computer vision.(Tevel的飞行自主机器人（FARs）正通过将人工智能与先进的计算机视觉技术相结合，重新定义水果采摘方式)”可推知，本文的目的是介绍两项农业创新技术。故选C。 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。 Most people want to find ways to travel inexpensively.

That afternoon, they had to share their table with another person. That person was a young lady in her twenties. After eating, she went to the restroom. Without realizing, she had left her handphone on the table. Five minutes later, she came out and walked out of the cafe without looking back. Mary saw the handphone on the table. She quickly told Keith, “Keith, the girl left behind her handphone.” Keith looked at the handphone. It was one of the latest models on the market. Looking very sleek, it was red in color with a black cover. The handphone must be expensive. Keith had always wanted a handphone, But his parents refused. He stared at it for some minutes. Then he said slowly, pausing on every word, “I want to take the handphone,” Mary could not believe her eyes. She merely stared at her brother, “you can’t! What if the owner comes to look for it?” Having made the decision, Keith quickly grabbed the handphone and put it in his schoolbag. Then, he took Mary’s hand and led her out of the cafe quickly. Outside the café, he ran to his bicycle. Mary had to run after him. Once back home, Keith locked his house door with trembling hands. Looking at the handphone, he liked it so much. Now he had his own handphone. But Mary told him, “Keith, you cannot keep the handphone. What will you tell father about this handphone?” Keith said quickly, “I will say a friend lent it to me.” Mary said, “Now you are lying, too.” Oh dear! When had Keith turned so dishonest? Then Mary saw a house phone number on the plastic cover of the handphone, “This phone number is the girl’s phone number. Why don’t we just call this number? We will talk to her and ask her to come and take back her handphone.” She was trying her best to talk some sense into him. 注意： 1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右 2. 续写部分分为两段，开头已给出。 Paragraph 1: That night, Keith couldn’t go to sleep, reflecting in bed. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Mary was very happy to hear that. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1: That night, Keith couldn’t go to sleep, reflecting in bed. He was uncertain about what he should do. Of course, he liked the new handphone. However, he was feeling sorry for the owner. When he thought how sad the young lady would be at the loss of her handphone, he was full of guilt and shame. The next morning, after а long and restless night, he was determined to return the handphone to the owner. After school, he told Mary, “I am going to phone the owner.” Paragraph 2: Mary was very happy to hear that. Back home, they phoned the owner’s house phone. A girl answered the phone. Keith asked, “Are you the owner of the handphone? I’m Keith. I have your handphone. Can you come and get it?” The girl replied “Yes”excitedly, expressing her gratitude repeatedly. Ten minutes later, she was at the same cafe to meet Keith. Handing back the handphone to her and seeing her smile happily, Keith realized that honesty was indeed the best policy. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了一天下午放学后，Mary和他的弟弟Keith在他们家附近的一家咖啡馆吃饭时，另一个女孩把手机遗落在了桌子上，Keith于是拿了手机回家，最后出于愧疚还是归还了手机。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“那天晚上，Keith睡不着，躺在床上想着心事。”可知，第一段可描写Keith内心的挣扎以及做出了归还手机的决定。 ②由第二段首句内容“玛丽听到这个消息很高兴。”可知，第二段可描写Keith归还手机的经过和感悟。 2. 续写线索：Keith无法入睡——Keith内心挣扎——决定归还手机——归还手机——感悟。 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①决定：be determined to/decide to ②表达：express/show ③意识到：realize/recognize 情绪类 ①悲伤：sad /sorrowful ②感激：gratitude/appreciation 【点睛】[高分句型1]When he thought how sad the young lady would be at the loss of her handphone, he was full of guilt and shame.(when引导时间状语从句) [高分句型2]Keith realized that honesty was indeed the best policy.(that引导宾语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025年秋期长寿中学高二年级半期考试 英语试题 第I卷 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。 1.How long will the man stay?

B I tend to go slowly when I drive in the mountains of my home, because the forest scenery is beautiful no matter what the season. This morning I was driving slower than usual because an early March snow had turned the roads slippery. Going up a mountain road, I had to slow down as I rounded a sharp, snowy turn. That was when I saw a majestic buck deer standing in the middle of the road. I came to a full stop and for a few seconds we just stared at each other. His eyes seemed wise and his composure refined. Finally, he nodded his head at me. I nodded in return and motioned with my hand for him to go on. He then leapt across the road, up the hill, and back into the woods. I drove on smiling at the magic of this moment and thanked that I had been going slowly enough not to hit this beautiful creature. Most of us rush through this life not knowing what we are missing. We rarely get to enjoy what each day brings us. Wouldn’t it be better to go slowly through our days here? Life is meant to be savored. Moments are meant to be cherished. Days are meant to be lived in love and joy not flown through at a hurried speed. The next time you find yourself going too fast, slow down. Take the time to watch the sun rise over the horizon and fill the world with light. Take the time to look your children in their eyes, hug them, and tell them that you love them. Take the time to smile, laugh, and sing. Take the time to read, lounge, and relax. Take the time to live your life with love and delight in all the miracles each day brings you. If you do, your life will be so much better and more beautiful. And you might even end up not hitting a deer on your way home. 4. How did the author feel after his interaction with the deer? A. Disappointed. B. Optimistic. C. Grateful. D. Funny. 5. The word “savored” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to “______”. A. suffered all the time B. enjoyed to the fullest C discovered step by step D. challenged in every way 6. Why did the author drive slowly on that morning? A. Because he wanted to enjoy the forest scenery. B. Because he saw a majestic buck deer. C. Because snow made the road difficult for cars to drive on. D. Because he took the time to watch the sunrise over the horizon. 7. What does the author want to tell us with this article? A. The most important thing in life is to be happy. B. Living in harmony with nature is a must. C. Modern life is not as good as life in earlier times. D. Life is supposed to be appreciated. C Every time we get on a plane, we’re asked to either turn off our phones or change them to flight mode — it’s for “security reasons”. But according to The Conversation website, having to turn our phones off on a plane is “a service issue, not a safety one”. When we speak on our phones in the air, they can cause interference to the aircraft’s radios and pilots can hear this interference in their headphones. “It’s the same noise you’ll be familiar with, if you put your mobile too close to a speaker,” the Mirror noted. “It is not safety-critical, but is annoying for sure.” Though speaking on a phone during a flight isn’t dangerous, from the viewpoint of service, it isn’t still a good idea. When we make or receive a call on the ground, we connect to a cell tower that deals with all calls within an 80-kilometer radius (半径). As we move from place to place we are “handed on” to different cell towers. As US scientist Sven Bilen explains, for this system to work, there are “built-in” expectations: There shouldn’t be too many “handoffs” and people shouldn’t be traveling faster than car speeds. “Of course, phone users should be close to the ground.” he added. If we were to make phone calls while we flew, however, none of these expectations would be met. And even worse, our cellphones would stop working. But now things are beginning to change. If we still can’t speak during a flight, we can use other phone functions. For example, Airbus A330 of Emirates Airlines has inflight WiFi to make passengers send and receive short messages in the air. In the future, as Bilen points out, it may be possible for air travelers to make and receive calls freely. The breakthrough could be “pico cells”, which are small cell towers on the plane itself. There would no longer be connections made between phones and the ground and therefore there would be no danger of disturbance of phone service. One day, perhaps, we will be chatting in the air as much as we chat on the ground. 8. Why is making a phone call NOT allowed on a plane? A. Because it will pose a threat to their safety. B. Because it can guarantee a better service. C. Because it fails to be connected to the cell tower. D. Because it may cause annoying noise to pilots. 9. How many “built-in” expectations are mentioned to help make a call? A. One. B. Two. C. Three. D. Four. 10. What can we infer from the passage? A. People need to travel slower than airplane speeds while phoning. B. Pico cells may contribute to free phone calls on a plane. C. Undisturbed phone service has been provided by airlines. D. Passengers can receive calls on Airbus A330 through inflight WiFi. 11. Where is the text most likely from? A. A newspaper. B. An official document. C. A guidebook. D A science fiction story. D Farming is undergoing a remarkable transformation thanks to cutting-edge technologies reshaping how fruit is picked and handled. While autonomous drones (无人机) like Tevel’s Flying Robots are already harvesting fruit globally, innovations like UC San Diego’s GRIP-tape gripper represent the next frontier in gentle produce handling. Together, these advancements promise to make fruit production more efficient and precise, though one is a proven solution and the other is a glimpse into farming’s future. Tevel’s Flying Autonomous Robots (FARs) are redefining fruit harvesting by combining artificial intelligence with advanced computer vision. These drones navigate through orchards (果园), identifying and picking only the fruit that has reached peak ripeness. Their ability to weave carefully around branches allows them to harvest without bruising or harming the trees. Unlike human pickers, these drones can operate continuously, working day and night to get the job done faster and more consistently. Farmers are empowered by detailed, real-time information about the harvest, including the size, color and ripeness of each fruit, all accessible through a mobile app. This data helps improve harvesting schedules and reduce waste. Multiple drones work together from a mobile platform, covering large orchard areas efficiently. Beyond picking, these robots also detect diseases and track the location of each fruit bin, providing farmers with valuable insights to manage their crops better. While Tevel’s drones tackle harvesting, UC San Diego’s GRIP-tape gripper remains in the experimental stage as a solution for post-harvest handling. Inspired by steel measuring tapes, this prototype (原型) uses layered “fingers” to grasp delicate fruits gently. Early tests show promise in handling objects like lemons and tomatoes without damage, but it has yet to be widely adopted in farming. The gripper’s motorized reels (卷轴) allow its tape-based fingers to extend and convey items like a conveyor belt. Researchers highlight its low cost and safety around humans, but further development is needed to integrate it into commercial packing lines or harvesters. Tevel’s drones are already transforming orchards, while the GRIP-tape gripper offers a vision of how delicate produce handling could evolve.
