B The twins were filled with excitement as they thought of the surprise they were planning for Mother's Day.How pleased and proud Mother would be when they brought her breakfast in bed.They had watched their mother making breakfast in the kitchen many times."There is nothing to it.We know exactly what to do,"they thought. The big day came at last.The pair went down the stairs quietly to the kitchen.Everything was going smoothly until Jeff started frying the bread.The pan was too hot,and the bread tured black within seconds.The next minute,the porridge boiled over and put out the fire. Jenna went into a panic.Thankfully,Jeff stayed'calm and turned off the gas quickly.But the stove was a mess now.Jenna told Jeff to clean it up so they could continue to cook the rest of the porridge.But Jeff's hand touched the hot bumner and he gave a cry of pain. The twins stared at the chaos around them,unsure what to do next.Just then,their father appeared.With his help,they took positive actions and started all over again.They made the bread and then went on to cook porridge.Father helped them adjust the fire,which was the key to success.Then he stood by and watched them finish.This time,everything went right.A delicious breakfast was finally ready.Their father smiled and went back upstairs quietly. The twins carried the breakfast upstairs and woke their mother up.Her face lit up when she saw the beautifully prepared meal.She praised them warmly,but the twins lowered their heads. Looking up,Jenna admitted,"It didn't go the way we planned.We always thought making breakfast was a piece of cake." “But it isn't,”Jeff added.“We made a big mess,,and Dad had to come and help us.” Jenna continued,"On this Mother's Day,we want to thank you for all the care and effort you put in every morning." Their mother looked at them with soft eyes."I think you should thank your father,too,for stepping in to help,"she said.

D.Duties help people face difficulties through life. C Give yourself a test.Which way is the wind blowing?How many kinds of wildflowers can be seen from your front door? I remember leading one of my wilderess classes out.'We passed numerous deer,foxes,a cottontail,groundhogs,and countless birds and insects.Nobody noticed even one of them. When I went through the list,the students were angry at themselves for having missed so much. Most of us observed much more as children than we do as adults.A child's day is filled with fascination,newness and wonder.The desire to explore,to have an adventure,gave us all a natural sense.But this sense weakens as we grow up.And we are numb when we become adults We don't see a loaf of bread as coming from a wheat field blown by the wind.The apples we buy seem to come from a supermarket rather than from a tree.Relearning the art of seeing the world around us is quite simple,although it takes practice and requires breaking some bad habits. The first step in awakening senses is to stop predicting what we are going to see and feel before it actually happens.One chilly night when I was hiking in the Rocky Mountains with some students,I mentioned that we were going to cross a mountain stream.The students began complaining about how cold it would be.We reached the stream,and they unwillingly walked ahead.They were almost knee-deep when they realized it was a hot spring.Later,they all admitted they'd felt cold water at first. Another block to awareness is too much interest many of us have in naming things.I saw bird watchers who spotted a bird,immediately looked it up in field guides,and said,a 高一英语第5页（共10页) "ruby-crowned kinglet"and checked it off.They no longer paid attention to the bird and never learned what it was doing. The pressures of"time"and"destination"are further blocks to awareness.I encountered many hikers who were headed to a distant campground with just enough time to get there before dark.It seldom occurred to them to wander a bit,to take a moment to see what's around them.I asked them what they'd seen."Oh,a few birds,"they said.They seemed bent on their destinations. Nature seems to unfold to people who watch and wait.Next time you take a walk,no matter where it is,take in all the sights,sounds and sensations.Wander in thig state of mind, and you will open a new path in your life. -8.What does the word"numb"underlined in Paragraph 3 most probably mean? A.Less aware. B.Less satisfied. C.Less imaginative. D.Less energetic 29.It is implied in Paragraph 4 that we should A.avoid jumping to conclusions B.stop complaining all the time C.follow the teacher's advice D.admit mistakes honestly 30.What can we leamn from this passage? A.A fixed goal can reduce the boredom during hiking B.The wilderness class can help students lessen stress. C.Walking in unfamiliar places can renew our view of life. D.Focus overly on naming things can prevent real observation. 31.Which would be the best title for this passage? A.Value Our Earth,Save Our Future B.Open the Mind,Explore New Ideas C.Fill Your Senses,Light Up Your Life D.Break Bad Habits,Build Better Balance D For decades,scientists believed that the slow rise of South Africa's souther coast was caused by forces deep within the Earth.However,a new study in the Journal of Geophysical Research:Solid Earth reports a new finding.By using data from advanced observation technology in space,the research suggests the land rise may have more to do with the loss of groundwater resulting from human activity. What might be most surprising about South Africa's situation is not the rising land itself, but this misunderstanding.What was once thought to be caused by slow movements deep inside Earth may instead reflect human activity. Human activity has long been using up South Africa's groundwater.In 2018,after years of 高一英语第6页（共10页) severe droughts(),the country almost faced a full water crisis-Cape Town nearly became the world's first major city to truly run out of water,a situation called "Day Zero". The new study proposes an idea:the ground,once pressed by the heavy weight of surface water and groundwater,,is now springing back like a foam mattress(泡沫床垫)after the pressure is removed.Between 2000 and 2021,the researchers found about a six-millimeter rise in the land surface-a change that lines up with humans using up South Africa's water stores and periods of drought. The new study shows the tie between water and land movement in South Africa's southern coast.The land goes down slightly during rainy seasons and rises during dry periods.This "seasonal breathing"is a key sign.If the cause were deep Earth forces,the movement would be steady and not linked to rainfall cycles. Besides South Africa,more examples in other regions highlight how human water use is physically reshaping the planet.In Califomia's San Joaquin Valley,taking too much groundwater has caused the land to drop sharply in some areas.Similarly,around the Chesapeake Bay on the U.S.East Coast,land sinking is worsening flood risks and sea-level rise. Researchers note that Earth's reaction to human-caused environmental change is complex )The consequences are still being discovered,and they could be very significant.As climate change speeds up,land movements could make other problems worse.They are looking for ways to prevent land from shifting so much by keeping a careful balance.The solution,they say,isn't just to take out less water.It's also important to put water back into the ground it was taken from. 32.What can be inferred from the first two paragraphs? A.Humans are unwilling to admit their mistakes. B.New research can be driven by curiosity. C.The forces of nature are unstoppable. D.Earlier views can be challenged. 33.Why does the author mention the San Joaquin Valley and the Chesapeake Bay?. A.To explain the data collection. B.To show the widespread phenomenon. C.To provide a solution to the land uplift problem. D.To contrast environmental changes in different areas 4.What does the author mainly do in this passage? 1.…10 ',·i)1 A.Describe a process. B.Inform a discovery. :d1心 C.Introduce a system. D.Recommend a method. 高一英语第7页（共10页) 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡 上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Chinese birthday celebrations form a meaningful tradition that honors life's journey. Deeply influenced by Confucian respect for elders and Taoist harmony with nature,these customs go beyond simply marking time.35 They represent wishes for good fortune, prosperity,and the continuation of life. 36 It determines traditional birthday dates and is built into the Chinese way of counting age.Unlike the Western age system,Chinese way of counting age typically considers a person a year old at birth and gains another year with each Lunar New Year,reflecting the cultural emphasis on natural cycles. The most symbolic customs include eating "longevity noodles"representing a long life, and sharing red eggs symbolizing happiness and new life.While tradition remains necessary, there is also room for new elements.Modem celebrations often include cakes,yet they are often decorated with peaches-a traditional symbol of a very long life.37 Significant milestones receive special attention.38The first birthday features the Zhuazhou custom,in which a child selects objects believed to predict their future.The 12th birthday marks the end of childhood,and today,the 18th birthday is the popular time to celebrate becoming an adult.Later milestone birthdays include 30,40,and 50.The 60th birthday,which completes a full zodiac cycle,is celebrated with a large family celebration.Birthdays at 70 and beyond honor longevity. 39 Women traditionally do not celebrate their 30th,33rd,and 66th birthdays. Men might avoid celebrating their 40th birthday and instead remain 39 for another year. Through these meaningful customs,Chinese birthday culture beautifully connects celebration with a deep respect for life's jourey. A.Certain birthdays are considered unlucky. B.Respect for others is a key part of Chinese culture. C.Rather,they serve as meaningful cultural expressions. D.Central to these celebrations is the Chinese lunar calendar. E.A baby's first month is marked with the"red egg"ceremony. F.This mix of old and new reflects the living nature of the tradition. G.The emphasis on harmony can be seen in many aspects of family life. 高一英语第8页（共10页) 第三部分书面表达（共两节，32分) 第一节（共4小题；第40、41题各2分，第42题3分，第43题5分，共12分) 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。 When I was a child,I was often told what not to eat."You don't want to get fat"was on constant repeat throughout my childhood.It really messed up my relationship with food.That took me years to get past Because of this,I'm careful not to connect what my kids weigh with their worth as people.I encourage my daughter to make healthy snack choices and often dissuade (her from a second dessert.But one day,when I heard her say,"I think I'm too fat,”my heart sank, Dr.Sarah,a psychology professor,says that when it comes to food,parents should talk less with their kids.She explains:"While it's good to discuss many things in parenting,food is different.Always talking about it can create unnecessary stress for kids." Instead,she recommends the "Division of Responsibility,"where parents offer mostly healthy foods and children decide what and how much to eat. Allowing kids to eat what they want helps them see what happens because of their choices. "When your child says,My stomach hurts,'you can say,'Well,you had a lot of sugary foods, and you might feel better if you made some other choices,""says Sarah."Let them feel like they have some control over it." I've been trying out the above advice with my children,and I've found that when I'm less controlling,they make better decisions."Feeding is a long game,"says Sarah."The food you have available makes a huge difference.Even if they don't eat it,they're seeing it.And then all of a sudden it clicks.” 40.According to Dr.Sarah,why should parents talk less about food with their kids? 41.What is the "Division of Responsibility"? 42.Please decide which part is false in the following statement,then underline it and explain why. The author has found that when she gives her children more freedom,they make poorer food choices. 43.How can you develop good eating habits?(In about 40 words) 高一英语第9页（共10页) 第二节（20分) 假设你是红星中学高一学生李华。你的英国好友Jim所在的学校即将举办“Global Perspectives on Ecology(全球生态观)”主题展览，他负资介绍“人类与自然和谐共生”的 中国范例，为此发来邮件询问你的建议。请你用英文给他回复，内容包括： 1.推荐一个中国范例： 2.说明推荐理由。 注意：1.词数100左右； 2.开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 Dear Jim, Yours, Li Hua (考生务必将答案答在答题卡上，在试卷上作答无效) 高一英语第10页（共10页)》
