John Nash John Nash had mental disease. He mixed the line between what is real and what isn’t. His life story was given light due to the movie A Beautiful Mind. John Nash was aware of his illness but fought against it, not letting it tear him, and developed a successful academic career. He won a Nobel Prize in Economics in 1994. Frida Kahlo During her childhood, Frida Kahlo suffered from polio (小儿麻痹症). When she became a young lady, she was also involved in an accident that worsened her problems. Throughout her entire life, she was facing serious physical issues and was in bed because of severe pain. However, she didn’t let that defeat her, and she became one of the famous artists of the 20th century. Andrea Bocelli Andrea Bocelli was partially blind but that didn’t stop him from taking piano lessons until he was 6 years old. Unfortunately, when he was 12 years old, he suffered a blow during a football game that completely blinded him. His blindness didn’t stop him from pursuing and focusing on singing. Bethany Hamilton Bethany Hamilton, at the age of 13, was a rising star surfer. However, after an attack with a 14-foot tiger shark, she, unfortunately, lost her left arm. One month after the attack, she was back on the seas and surfing to her dreams once again. After 2 years, she won her first national surfing title. She is still an active surf competitor to this day. 1. What can we know about John Nash? A. He was inspired by a book. B. He suffered a lot physically. C. He made it in academic career. D. He won a Nobel Prize in Literature. 2. What do Frida Kahlo and Bethany Hamilton have in common? A. They were good at art. B. They were born with disabilities. C. They met with a serious accident. D. They won some kinds of national prizes. 3. Which of the following best describes the four people? A. Shy. B. Tough. C. Helpful. D. Honest. B I spent a lot of my childhood in my grandma’s country kitchen. My grandma was a brilliant baker and the most prized possession in the kitchen was her recipe(食谱) box jammed with secret family recipes. That tiny kitchen was where my family gathered every Sunday and holiday, but it wasn’t just a place to cook. It was the place where she connected our family’s past to the present, teaching me our family history through the food she made. The kitchen is where we shared our lives with each other too. After baking, she would always cut two slices of pie, then pour a cup of coffee for herself and a glass of milk for me, and we’d sit and talk at her table. We’d mostly discuss what I was going to do when I grew up, how I was going to change the world and see places she’d never been to. My grandma was also happy to tell me what happened in her life and her dream was. I was in college when my grandma hosted her last Thanksgiving. I returned home on break and spent most of my time in the kitchen with her, baking the pies for our family. When we finished, she cut two slices and poured the coffee and milk, as always. Now every Thanksgiving in my own kitchen, I make the treasured desserts from her recipe box, cut two slices and “tell” her about my life. 4. Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word “jammed” in paragraph 1? A. Filled. B. Covered. C. Surrounded. D. Connected. 5. Why does the author say the kitchen wasn’t just a place to cook? A. It provided shelter for him. B. He disliked the small kitchen. C. He could learn more about his family. D. It was equipped with advanced facilities. 6. What can we learn about the author’s grandma? A. She managed to run a baking shop. B. She lacked some experience in cooking. C. She seldom appeared in her own kitchen. D. She often shared everything with the author. 7. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Grandma’s Slice of Love B. Treasured Family Gathering C. Grandma’s Country Kitchen D. Unforgettable Thanksgiving C It happens at least once in every pet owner’s life: You look into your animal companion’s eyes and wonder what they’re not telling you. Pets are members of our families, but they can’t speak to us to say they’re in a good mood, or their stomach hurts today or they’re feeling lonely. So how do you know what your pet is actually feeling, and what should you do if they aren’t happy? A major signal of pet happiness lies in body language. A happy dog will likely have its ears forward, posture upright and tail wagging. A happy cat will also have its ears forward, posture relaxed and tail upright with a slight bend in it. Both dogs and cats may vocalize (发声) when happy. But an anxious dog may be cowering, ears set back, nose dry, with its tail down or between its legs. Similarly, an unhappy cat will have its ears back and away from the head, its tail down and back arched or low, and may hiss, spit or scratch. If your pet is unusually lethargic or expresses reduced interest in playing or socializing, they may be in pain or unhappy. How to help if your pet seems unhappy? Speak with your veterinarian (兽医) as soon as possible. Many pets may need medication to treat pain or anxiety, while others may need a course of training to help ease their anxious behavioral patterns. Engaging your pet’s senses can also stimulate (刺激) your pet to keep calm as they absorb the world around them. “Exercise is great, but you definitely want to let dogs sniff. We explore our world visually, but they are all about the smells… It’s how they’re going to get information.” says Amy Pike, a veterinary behaviorist. Ultimately, your pet is an individual, so no two animals will show distress or happiness the same way. Meeting your pet’s physical needs and ensuring they have various types of enrichment are the best ways to ensure reduced stress levels, which may correlate with longer life spans as they do in humans. 8. What’s the purpose of the first paragraph? A. To present an idea. B. To introduce the topic. C. To entertain the readers. D. To make the story interesting. 9. What is a key indicator of an anxious dog’s behavior? A. Wagging its tail slightly. B. Setting back its ears. C. Playing with other dogs. D. Relaxing and vocalizing. 10. What are dogs expected to do while walking according to Amy Pike? A. To sniff around. B. To listen to music. C. To focus on speed. D. To explore the world visually. 11. Where can this text come from? A. A science report. B. A personal diary. C. A cooking book. D. An animal magazine. D Is suffering good for us? Does it make us better, kinder and stronger people? Does it give meaning to our lives? It would be nice if it did. Even the luckiest experienced boredom, anxiety, and fear. Everyone has heard of post-traumatic (创伤后的) growth. As Richard Tedeschi, one of the founders of the theory, puts it, after experiencing traumatic events, “people develop new understandings of themselves, the world they live in, how to relate to other people, the kind of future they might have and a better understanding of how to live a life.” Now, there is a deep difference between the sufferings we choose and the sufferings which are unchosen and unwelcome. It is the suffering that we choose that affords the opportunity for pleasure, meaning, and personal growth. But, still, unchosen suffering can lead to change, and some have been liberated (解放) by the pandemic (疫情), choosing to leave unsatisfying work and seek out deeper and more challenging aims. Most of all, there is a powerful relationship between suffering and meaning. Individuals who say that their lives are meaningful report more anxiety and worry and struggle than those who say that their lives are happy. The countries where citizens report their lives are the most meaningful tend to be poor ones where life is relatively difficult. The jobs that people say are most meaningful, such as being a medical professional, often have something to do with dealing with other people’s pain. When asked to describe the most meaningful experiences of our lives, we tend to think about those on the extremes, very pleasant and very painful. And we often choose aims that we know will test us, everything from training for a marathon to raising children, because we know that these matter. Our suffering does not necessarily leave us some trauma, and can, for some, lead to increased reliance and kindness. And, for the lucky ones, it can be a source of meaning and purpose. 12. What can sufferings bring to people according to Richard Tedeschi? A. A pleasant life. B. An open mind. C. A healthy body. D. An economic benefit. 13. Why do some people choose the sufferings? A. They can leave their unsatisfying jobs. B. They want to compare different difficulties. C. They wish to improve the present situation. D. They are addicted to experiencing hardships. 14. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about? A. The countries with the happiest people tend to be rich. B. The most meaningful job is to be a medical professional. C. Training for a marathon or raising children matters in life. D. There is a strong connection between suffering and meaning. 15. What is the author’s attitude toward suffering? A. Unclear. B. Dismissive. C. Doubtful. D. Supportive. 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。 Once you learn how to ride a bike, you never forget.

Jack is 12, and he seems to have a happy family. His father is an IT engineer, and his mother is a doctor. They are busy working every day and ask Jack to do everything on his own. Therefore, Jack always stays at home alone after school. Over time, he does everything alone, no smile on his face. One sunny afternoon, Jack sat alone on the bus ride home from school. All his friends were discussing their class projects excitedly, but Jack remained silent. How could they understand his feelings when their parents would help them? His parents worked all the time. So they had no time for him. When the bus stopped, he got off the bus. He didn’t go straight home. Jack was walking through the park, disappointed. As he walked in the park, he saw an elderly man sitting alone on a bench, enjoying the sunlight. Jack walked to the man and sat on the bench with shoulders slumped (低垂). “You don’t look okay,” the old man said gently, breaking the silence, “Is there something I can do to help?” Jack looked up, surprised by the unexpected kindness. He smiled slightly and shook his head. “No, thank you, sir. I’m just thinking about something.” The old man offered a warm smile. “It’s okay to feel lost sometimes. I’m here if you need to talk.” The old man continued to speak. His name was Mr. Smith, and he had a happy family and he also had a grandson just like Jack. The old man always had a walk in the park... After hearing Mr. Smith’s story, Jack slowly explained they should do a class project for the weekend and together they would build something with an adult. The students needed to make a report to explain how their projects had gone. Mr. Smith listened quietly and said “why are you so unhappy?” Jack felt his sadness and anger rising inside him. “Because I don’t have anyone to help me.” He sounded so sad and so angry. 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。 The old man raised his eyebrows, “can I help you?” he asked gently. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A week later, Jack won the prize in his class project and ran to the park with the prize. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 常德市沅澧共同体2024-2025学年10月高一上学期 期中考试英语试题 时量：120分钟 满分：150分 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，并标在试卷的相应位置。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?
