汕头市潮阳实验学校2025～2026学年度第一学期第二次月考考试高一英语试卷 (时间：120分钟 满分：130分) 第二部分 阅读(共两节，满分50分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A If you’re going to visit Barcelona, what are you going to do there? Read our guides for some really cool ideas. Gaudi buildings You are going to see a lot of Gaudi buildings with bright colours. But who or what is Gaudi? He was an architect from Barcelona. Some people say he was a terrible student, but his buildings are amazing One of the best places to see Gaudi’s extraordinary designs is Parc Guel It is a great place to hang out with friends and escape from the noise of the city. Museums Take the train to the Dali Theatre Museum. It’s pink on the outside, with huge eggs on the roof. Inside, you can see some of Dali’s paintings. Or go to the Picasso Museum in the centre of the city and see a large collection of his paintings. Nou Camp If you are into football, plan a visit to the Nou Camp, home of FC Barcelona. There’s space for around 100,000 people, making it the second largest football stadium in Europe. Amusement parks Port Aventura is about an hour from the city by train, but it is worth it! If you’re brave, you can ride the tallest and fastest roller coaster in Europe, but there are also gentle rides and nice restaurants and cafes. Or, if you prefer to stay in Barcelona, an old-fashioned blue tram will take you up the mountain to the Tibidabo park, one of the oldest amusement parks in the world. Apart from looking at the city from the top of the mountain, you can enjoy 25 rides, including a big wheel and a really scary roller coaster. 1. Which place best suits football enthusiasts? A. Parc Guel. B. Port Aventura. C. The Nou Camp. D. The Dali Theatre Museum. 2. What can visitors do at the Tibidabo park? A. Ride the tallest roller coaster. B. Enjoy a bird’s eye view of the city. C. Dine at the mountaintop restaurant. D. Visit an old-fashioned blue train. 3. Where is the text most probably taken from? A. An advertisement. B. A text book. C. A magazine. D. A travel brochure. B It was in a secondhand bookstore that I first encountered the magic of annotations (注释). Flipping through the pages of an old copy of The Great Gatsby, I discovered delicate notes penciled in margins (页边) — reflections on Gatsby’s dreams, sighs over Daisy’s choices, and even a tiny teardrop spot beside the tragic ending. The unmet reader’s emotions seemed to breathe through the paper, turning the book into a living dialogue across time. On TikTok and Instagram, readers now share their creatively annotated books with color-coded notes that sometimes fill full pages. This trend has sparked a debate: Is the practice of annotations a bad habit or a beneficial effort? Historically, annotations have been a powerful tool for deep learning. Leonardo da Vinci scribbled (涂鸦) thoughts on gravity in the Codex Arundel years before Galileo published his work on the subject, proving how annotations can harbor groundbreaking ideas. Similarly, writers like Herman Melville and Edgar Allan Poe used margins to refine their thoughts. In academic community, annotations are celebrated for enhancing comprehension and critical thinking. In writing workshops, deep reading — including annotations — helps students express interpretations and maintain “learner independence”. However, annotation styles online seem to differ widely from the annotations expected in academic community. While some criticize them as overly decorative, their value lies in serving the reader’s purpose. Highlighting every piece of dialogue from your favorite character may seem unreasonable to an outsider, but that might help someone understand why they like that character or how the writer developed the character’s story. Romance readers are known to highlight, dog-ear and annotate their favorite romantic scenes. I may be overly romanticizing secondhand books, but there’s nothing more heartfelt than finding a previous reader’s favorite kissing scene. If the “book-tokers” or “book-fluencers” want to make their bookmarks, highlight, sticky notes and gel pen go with the cover of their favorite new science-fiction tale, that’s great. Scribbling in margins isn’t hurting anyone, so let them eat cake even if they dirty the page. 4. What did the author experience in a secondhand bookstore? A. A shared hobby. B. A popular exhibition. C. A striking explanation. D. An emotional connection. 5. What is the purpose of paragraph 3? A. To popularize a writing style. B. To give reasons for making annotations. C. To serve as examples of an online trend. D. To introduce an effective learning method. 6. Which of the following best describes annotation styles online? A. Personalized. B. Incredible. C. Decorative. D. Unreasonable. 7. What does the author want to convey in the last paragraph? A. He is an addict to secondhand books. B. Secondhand book lovers are romanticists. C. Readers should mind their behaviors while reading. D. Annotators are worthy of understanding and respect. C Virtual reality (VR) technology from video games and GPS-like apps is now entering hospitals, helping doctors work more safely and successfully. Dr. Ryan Broderick, a doctor at the University of California San Diego, recently tested Apple’s Vision Pro headset with “spatial (空间的) computing” during surgeries (外科手术), becoming one of the first doctors in the U. S. to try this technology. “With these headsets, we can project medical images into the real world of the surgery room,” Broderick explains. “We can make screens as big as a wall or adjust them to the perfect position.” This technology mixes digital images with real-world views, letting doctors see 3D models of a patient’s body — like where a tumor (肿瘤) is — almost like giving them Xray view. In the past, doctors had to frequently turn their heads to check screens during complex surgeries, leading to neck and shoulder pain. Now, spatial computing shows all key information right in front of their eyes. “It works like a car direction system — highlighting danger areas or warning us to avoid important areas,” says Broderick. The tech also helps train new doctors. Teachers can use virtual screens to show body structures, point out key areas with glowing arrows, or even draw where to make cuts on a 3D heart model. “Students can watch the teacher’s virtual explanations, which is clearer than reading textbooks!” Broderick adds. This hands-on learning helps trainees master skills faster. Top U. S. hospitals like Johns Hopkins are already testing similar systems. Though the equipment is expensive and needs software improvements, Broderick remains hopeful: “This isn’t just new tools — it’s a revolution in healthcare. In 10 years, technology like this could help millions get better treatment.” From video games to life-saving surgeries, VR is proving that cool tech can truly change lives. 8. How can headsets help with surgeries according to paragraph 2? A. By making the surgery room brighter. B. By letting doctors avoid looking at screens. C. By helping patients stay calm during surgery. D. By showing 3D pictures of the patient’s body. 9. What is one of the benefits of using VR for doctors? A. It allows them to perform surgeries without any help. B. It reduces physical stress and potential job-related pain. C. It enables them to communicate directly with patients. D. It allows them to work without any medical images. 10. What is Broderick’s attitude toward VR’s future in healthcare? A. Negative. B. Neutral. C. Positive. D. Doubtful. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. What Is the Future of VR in Hospitals? B. How Is VR Changing the World of Surgery? C. What Are the Challenges of VR in Hospitals? D. Why Is VR Technology Important for Patients? D A dozen children play at a family fishing camp on a beach of Isla Partida, off Mexico’s Baja California. Fathers and uncles sit in the shade, fixing fishing nets. These men are the fourth generation to make a living by catching fish, including sharks. Most of them hope their children will not follow in their footsteps. Paloma, 15, wears a T-shirt with a picture of a hammerhead shark （锤头鲨）, the logo of a local conservation group called Pelagios Kakunja. Paloma wants to be a marine biologist when she grows up. Her parents support her dream. Nowadays, it takes more time and fuel to find sharks, so fishing does not bring much money. Now, her father hopes to get paid to study sharks instead of killing them. Her family is part of a project run by Pelagios Kakunja. The group plans to train 30 fishers in Baja California as field technicians, who will drive a boat to look for sharks, take blood and tissue samples from the sharks, and use underwater cameras to record videos. One shark they’re looking for is the scalloped hammerhead. In the 1980s and 1990s, there were hammerheads everywhere. Unluckily, the number of the scalloped hammerhead began to collapse quickly in Baja. By 2012, there was nearly nothing left. Overfishing, they concluded, was the main reason. Soon, Mexico made shark fishing illegal from May to July, which helps protect sharks during their breeding season. And sharks are starting to come back. Last year, researchers caught and tagged a young hammerhead for the first time in Cabo Pulmo National Park. This is a protected ocean area near the southern end of Baja California. More fishers are also joining the ecotourism industry. Baja is a famous place for swimming with or watching blue sharks and white sharks. Shark-related tourism brings in over $300 million each year around the world, and this number is likely to double in the next 20 years. 12. Why does the author introduce Paloma in the beginning? A. To describe her family life. B. To show a changing tradition. C. To explain why people love sharks. D. To praise a conservation group. 13. What do we know about Pelagios Kakunja from the text? A. It sells T-shirts to tourists. B. It helps fishers make money quickly. C. It trains fishers to protect sharks. D. It teaches fishers to catch more sharks. 14. What does the underlined word “collapse” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Increase rapidly. B. Change slowly. C. Remain similarly. D. Drop suddenly. 15. What does the author want to say in the last paragraph? A. Fishing is still the best job. B. Sharks are too dangerous. C. Protecting sharks brings advantages. D. Tourism is harming the ocean. 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。 Nowadays, we all want to achieve more, yet often overlook the quality of our experiences. We fill our hours with tasks, yet frequently feel distracted (分心的) or unsatisfied. What if the key to a more satisfying life isn’t about doing more, but about doing differently? ____16____ Activities actually can be divided into different types.
