During my first month here, I was like a fish out of water. I came to realize how many things I should thank you for. On the cold winter days, I have to get up early almost every morning to fetch hot water. I began to feel ashamed that I never said “thank you” every time you prepared (准备) hot water for me each morning on winter days before I got up. I am no longer that girl who was often unable to find her books in her bedroom. It used to take me a lot of time to collect all the books for the day’s classes. But I have gotten over that bad habit now. And now I know how much time you used to take to collect my books every evening. I have learned to do the laundry on my own now. I came to realize that washing clothes is a boring job, especially on winter days. Sometimes there is no hot water and I have to wash my clothes with cold water by hand. I came to know how grateful (感激的) I should be to have you as my mom. Thank you, Mom. Yours, Silvia 4. How did Silvia feel during her first month in the boarding school? A. Uneasy. B. Enjoyable. C. Relaxed. D. Disappointed. 5. The underlined word “ashamed” means “________” in Chinese. A. 惭愧的 B. 恐惧的 C. 吃惊的 D. 轻率的 6. From the letter we can learn that ________. A. Silvia used to do her laundry at home B. Silvia often helps her mom do housework C. Silvia’s mom has done many things for her before D. Silvia’s mom usually does the laundry with cold water 7. Silvia wrote this letter in order to tell her mom ________. A. her hard life in the boarding school B. her thanks from her heart C. washing clothes is boring D. she could look after herself well C In many people’s minds, monsters or yao (妖) usually look horrible and do bad things. But in one of the great Chinese cartoon series Yao—Chinese Folktales《中国奇谭》, yao are different. The cartoon has been on Bilibili since January 1. In the stories, yao are lovely, fun and mysterious. They have their own lives just like humans. A little pig monster works hard in a monster company. A fox scholar (书生) creates a dreamy day for a man. The cartoon won many people’s hearts. It shows a different side of Chinese yao culture. “Most yao in China’s old stories are warm, kind and friendly” said Zhang Yun, who wrote a book about China’s 1080 kinds of yao. People are afraid of yao because of their fear of the unknown world. For example kids sometimes are afraid of things under the bed or behind the curtain. “Yao are humans’ imagination of unknown things,” said Chen Liaoyu, general director of the cartoon. In one of the cartoon’s stories, a little child thinks a catfish (鲶鱼) is horrible. But later he sees people sell the fish like other foods. The fear is gone. 8. Which of the following words can best describe Yao—Chinese Folktales? A. Easy and boring. B. Mysterious and interesting. C. Difficult and challenging. D. Different and meaningless. 9. Who wrote a book about China’s 1080 kinds of yao? A. A little child. B. A fox scholar. C. Chen Liaoyu. D. Zhang Yun. 10. What can we get from the passage? A. People used to think yao would do harmful things. B. A fox scholar in the story fights with humans. C. People dislike the cartoon series about yao. D. Humans lack imagination about unknown world. 11. What’s the theme of the passage? A. Sport. B. Lifestyle. C. Culture. D. Technology. D If someone said they’d pay you $1,800 to stay off social media (社交媒体) for 6 years, would you do it? Could you? An American mom challenged her son to do just that, and he succeeded. Sivert Klefsaas is the youngest of Lorna Gold-strand Klefsaas’ four children, and his three older sisters all used social media growing up. It was influencing their feelings, as well as their friendships. So, Lorna thought, “If I could, I’d be willing to do whatever to keep Sivert off social media as long as I could, whatever that looks like.” And that’s where the idea for this challenge came from. It all started when Lorna heard about a similar “16 for 16 challenge” on the radio, where a mother called Amanda Green gave her daughter Teresa $1,600 when she turned 16 if she stayed off social media. So, Lorna decided to create her own “18 for 18 challenge”. Not only did Sivert finally complete this challenge, but he would do it again, too. “It wasn’t too difficult to live without social media, and I didn’t think about it much during the 6 years,” Sivert said. “As time went on, it was more of a pride thing.” He had his friends keep him up to date on the latest information. Sivert added, “I got to avoid all the unnecessary things that were on there. It also meant I had more time to focus on my grades and sports instead.” Now that he’s done with the challenge, Sivert joined Instagram (照片墙), but has no plans to let social media define (定义) him. “Social media is great. We certainly need to use it,” Sivert said. “But also make sure you spend time in other areas of your life, especially those personal relationships.” Still, Lorna is proud of her son’s success. “We are certainly not against social media, but it’s the healthy use of it,” Lorna told CNN. 12. Who does the underlined word “she” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A. Amanda Green. B. Teresa Green. C. Lorna Klefsaas. D. Sivert Klefsaas. 13. How did Sivert get the latest information? A. By surfing on the Internet. B. Through the radio. C. By reading the newspaper. D. By talking with his friends. 14. What does Sivert think of social media now? A. Social media is a way to define people. B. It’s important to use social media healthily. C. It is too difficult to live without social media. D. It’s good for personal relationships. 15. What can we learn about Lorna from the passage? A. She is a mother of a 16-year-old teenager. B. She doesn’t really agree with the “16 for 16 challenge” on the radio. C. She gave her son $1,800 to stay off social media for 6 years. D. She gave her son $1,600 if he stayed off social media. 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。 An old man lived in a village.

He slept badly and didn’t feel like eating. His face was always pale as chalk. He often cried for no reason. This made the queen and his people worried. One day a doctor was called in to examine the king. But he found nothing wrong with his body. “It’s all in his mind. Neither medicine nor rest can help him. What he needs is the shirt of a happy person to wear. That will make him happy.” The prime minister was called to the palace. But when they explained the king’s situation to him, he said, “Although I have a lot of power, it doesn’t make me happy. I am always worried about losing my power. Many people are trying to take my position.” Then, the King’s banker came to the palace. “Oh, I’m afraid I’m not happy either,” he said. “I have a lot of wealth, but I’m always worried about losing my money. Someone tries to steal my money every day.” Next, the palace singer came to the king’s room. But this was what he said: “It’s true that I am famous and everyone loves my songs.

I cannot be free!” Finally, the king’s top general was told to go out and find a happy man in three days’ time... 注意： （1）续写词数应为130个左右； （2）请按如下格式作答。 The general searched and searched, __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The King realized the truth of happiness and he decided to make some changes. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 常宁市2024年下期25级直升期末考试试题卷 英语 姓名 ________ 班级________准考证号________ 全卷共12页，满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 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。每段对话读两遍。 1.

At first, I was very afraid of falling down and getting hurt. But I didn’t give up and I practiced riding every day. Little by little, I made great progress and I could balance myself well. Finally, I succeeded in riding my bicycle around everywhere. This experience taught me that as long as I am brave and persistent, I can overcome any difficulties. It made me more confident to face other new challenges in life. 第二节（满分25分） 【47题答案】 【答案】例文 The general searched and searched but couldn’t find anyone. It seemed everyone had their own problems and no one was truly happy. Just as he was about to give up, he saw a poor man singing happily on the street and took him to the palace. The king looked at the old poor man’s worn-out, holey shirt and asked why he was so happy. The poor man said although he had no power, money or fame, he had everything he wanted and didn’t want what he couldn’t have. The king realized the truth of happiness and decided to make changes. He began to care for his people, listening to their problems and helping them. He also started to enjoy simple pleasures, like a walk in the palace garden or a meal with his family. Slowly but surely, the king became happier and happier. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
