Tourism is picking up in Vietnam lately, but it’s still a very affordable destination with lots of student-friendly options for backpacking. Con Dao Island National Park is a great destination in Vietnam to see sea turtles and other wildlife while exploring the area on foot. Albania It’s no secret that travelling to Europe isn’t generally cheap, but Albania is an exception to this rule. The cost of living in Albania is much more affordable than elsewhere in Europe, a fact that helps out travelers on a budget too. There are some amazing beaches to visit in this beautiful Mediterranean country if you’re looking for sunshine and relaxation, and the traditional food here is nothing short of “amazing”. Zakynthos Island, Greece While getting to Greece isn’t cheap, if you’re looking for an affordable European summer beach vacation, consider Zakynthos Island. It is part of the Ionian islands located west of the Greek mainland near the maritime border of Italy. Food is cheap and mouthwatering, while hotels are affordable. There are plenty of free things to do, although the favorite is spending time on the beautiful beaches edged by electric blue water. There are countless options for swimming in the enticing sea, along with charming villages and museums to explore on this beautiful island in Greece. 21. Which of the following statements is NOT correct according to the text of Albania? A. Albania is located in the Mediterranean area. B. You can relax yourself on the beach in Albania. C. The traditional food is not that amazing in Albania. D. Travelling in Albania is not as costly as other destinations in Europe. 22. Which of the following can you do in all the three destinations according to the texts? A. Appreciate sea scenery. B. Explore charming museums. C Enjoy mouthwatering food. D. Visit a Mediterranean country. 23. Where is the text possibly taken from? A. A research paper. B. A travelling brochure. C. An encyclopedia. D. A geography textbook. B When I first set foot on Mexican soil, I spoke Spanish well. So when I asked a local ice-cream seller for an ice-cream, and he said “ahorita,” which directly translates to “right now,” I took him at his word, believing that its arrival was immediate. I sat near his shop and waited. Half an hour passed and still no ice-cream arrived, so I asked again about it. “Ahorita,” he told me again. His face was a mixture of confusion and maybe even embarrassment. I was torn. Waiting longer wasn’t pleasant, but I felt it was impolite to walk away, especially if the ice-cream was now being delivered just for me. But finally, after waiting too long, I made a rush for the nearest bus to take me home. As I left, I signalled at my wrist and shrugged to the ice-cream seller. Obviously, I couldn’t wait any longer and it really wasn’t my fault. His face was, once again, one of total confusion. This experience faded from my memory until years later when I came back to live in Mexico. I discovered that understanding “ahorita” took not a fluency in the language, but rather a fluency in the culture. When someone from Mexico says “ahorita,” it should almost never be taken literally (照字面地); its meaning changes greatly with context. As a linguist told me, “Ahorita could mean tomorrow, in an hour, within five years or never.” It is even used as a polite way of saying “no, thanks” when refusing an offer. Since I moved to Mexico, my attitude towards time has changed dramatically. I don’t worry so much about being late; I am generally still on time for appointments, but when I’m not, I don’t panic. Ironically, it would seem that “Ahorita Time” has actually allowed me to live far more in the “right now” than I ever did before. 24. Why did the author believe that his ice-cream’s arrival was immediate? A. Because his Spanish was fluent. B. Because he believed what the seller said. C. Because the seller told him that it would be served soon. D. Because he was confident of the direct translation of “ahorita”. 25. What made the author feel torn? A. Being frightened to quit the waiting. B. Being anxious to ask the seller again. C. Being curious to know the meaning of “ahorita”. D. Being unable to decide whether to wait or leave. 26. What should be paid attention to when understanding “ahorita”? A. Translating it literally. B. A fluency in the language. C. A fluency in the culture. D. Its unchangeable meaning. 27. What’s the author’s attitude towards time after he moved to Mexico? A. He lives far more in the moment. B. He is concerned about being late. C. He doesn’t take the set appointment time seriously. D. He gets panicked when being late for appointments. C Adults check their phones, on average, 344 times a day — once every four minutes — and spend almost three hours a day on their devices in total. The problem for many of us is that one quick phone-related task leads to a quick check of our emails or social media feeds, and suddenly we’ve been sucked into endless scrolling. It’s a vicious circle. The more we use our phones, the more we lay neural pathways in our brains that lead to picking up our phones for whatever task is at hand, and the more we feel an urge to check our phones even when we don’t have to. What we do know is that the simple distraction of checking a phone or seeing a notification can have negative consequences. This isn’t very surprising; we know that, in general, multitasking impairs memory and performance. One of the most dangerous examples is phone use while driving. One study found that merely speaking on the phone, not texting, was enough to make drivers slower to react on the road. It’s true for everyday tasks that are less high-stakes, too. Simply hearing a notification “ding” made participants of another study perform far worse on a task — almost as badly as participants who were speaking or texting on the phone during the task. It isn’t just the use of a phone that has consequences — its mere presence can affect the way we think. The mere proximity (靠近) of a phone, it seems, contributes to “brain drain”. Our brains may be subconsciously hard at work in inhibiting the desire to check our phones, or constantly monitoring the environment to see if we should check our phone (e.g. waiting for a notification). Either way, this distracted attention can make doing anything else more difficult. The only “fix”, the researchers found, was putting the device in a different room entirely. 28. Which of the following examples has the opposite meaning of the underlined phrase “a vicious circle”? A. You get embarrassed, so you blush, so you get more embarrassed. B. The more you work out, the better you’ll feel and the more you’d like to continue to do exercise. C. The longer you stay at home, the more unwilling you will be to find a job and the more you’ll stay at home. D. The more chemicals you use to kill insects, the stronger the insects become so the more chemicals have to be used. 29. Why can the simple distraction of checking a phone have negative consequences? A. Because merely speaking on the phone but not texting is unacceptable. B. Because the mere presence of the phone can affect the way we think. C. Because simply hearing a notification will make people perform worse. D. Because doing more tasks at a time will damage people’s memory and performance. 30. What is the researchers’ suggestion in dealing with the problem of the presence of a phone? A. Put the phone in another room. B. Distract yourself from the phone. C. Monitor the environment constantly. D. Inhibit the desire to check the phone. 31. What’s the best title of the passage? A. What can mobile phones do for people? B. How have mobile phones changed our brains? C. What benefits can people get from mobile phones? D. How can people stop the influence of mobile phones? D The mass death of flying foxes in extreme heat in North Queensland last month underlines the importance of University of Queensland wildlife research released today. The UQ research sheds light on how various species have responded to major climate events. A study led by UQ School of Earth and Environmental Science researcher Dr. Sean Maxwell has spent more than 70 years quantifying the responses of various species. “The growing frequency and intensity of extreme weather events such as cyclones (旋风), droughts and floods is causing unpredictable and immediate changes to ecosystems and blocking existing management efforts,” Dr. Maxwell said. “Some of the negative responses we found were quite concerning, including more than 100 cases of dramatic population declines and 31 cases of local population extinction following an extreme event.” “Populations of critically endangered bird species in Hawaii, such as the palia, have been annihilated due to drought, leaving none of its kind, and populations of lizard species have been wiped out due to cyclones in the Bahamas.” Cyclones were the most common extreme event for birds, fish, plants and reptiles, while mammals and amphibians were most responsive to drought events, with drought leading to 12 cases of major population decline in mammals. Drought also led to 13 cases of breeding declines in bird populations and 12 cases of changes in the composition of invertebrate (无脊椎的) communities. UQ Centre for Biodiversity and Conservation Science director Professor James Watson said the detailed information would help inform ecosystem management. “The research clearly shows species will respond, often negatively, to extreme events,” Professor Watson said. “As climate change continues to ensure extreme climate and weather events are more and more common, we now need to act to ensure species have the best chance to survive. Wherever possible, high quality and intact habitat areas should be retained, as these are the places where species are most resilient (易恢复的) to increasing exposure to extreme events.” 32. Which of the following is one of the worrying negative responses after an extreme weather event according to Dr. Maxwell? A The dramatic population increase of more than 100 cases. B. The death of the remaining living members of 31 local species. C. The growing frequency and intensity of extreme weather events. D. The frequent and severe strikes of cyclones, droughts and floods. 33. What consequence has drought brought about according to the text? A. The species of palia has been destroyed completely. B. The number of the palia has decreased significantly. C. The number of the lizard species has declined greatly. D. The populations of lizard species have been wiped out. 34. Which of the following statements is correct based on the last but two paragraphs? A. Mammals and amphibians responded to cyclone events the most. B. Droughts affected birds, fish, plants and reptiles most commonly. C. 13 cases of breeding decreases in bird populations resulted from the shortage of rainfall. D. Tornado resulted in the 12 cases of changes in the composition of invertebrate communities. 35. What’s the main idea of the passage? A. Human actions about nature lead to frightening climate changes. B. Various species are negatively affected by extreme climate events. C. High quality and intact habitat areas should be reserved for species. D. Climate change ensures increasingly common extreme climate events. 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。 What Can We Learn From The Art of War?

It’s a Hebrew word that means “to do a good deed”. And according to my grandmother, it also had another meaning. This was the one she was always pointing out to me because she’d noticed how shy I was about letting people do things for me. “Linda, it’s a blessing to do a mitzvah for someone else, but sometimes it’s also a blessing to let another person do something for you.” Snowflakes had been falling past my window for several hours when it was time to leave for my final examination. I put on two sweaters, a coat, a wool hat and boots, making for the bus stop. In this December storm it was a hard journey. For an hour, I stretched my neck, praying desperately that a bus would come. Then I gave up. The wind at my back pushed me toward home, and I prayed, “How can I get to school? What should I do?” As I pulled Grandma’s scarf more tightly around my neck, again I seemed to hear that whisper: Ask someone for a lift! It could be a mitzvah. That idea had never really made sense to me. And even if I wanted to ask someone for a good deed, which I did not, there wasn’t a single person on the street. But as I pushed the door of my apartment building open, I found myself face to face with a woman at the mailbox. She was wearing a brown coat and had a set of keys in her hand. Obviously she had a car, and just as obviously, she was going out. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150词左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。 In that split second, desperation overcame pride. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “I’m sorry but...you’re Mrs. Green, the woman with cancer?!” I exclaimed in disbelief while sitting on her passenger seat. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 湖北省部分省级示范高中2023~2024学年上学期期末测试 高一英语试卷 试卷满分：150分 ★ 祝考试顺利 ★ 注意事项 : 1.答题前，先将自己的姓名 、准考证号填写在试卷和答题卡上 , 并将准考证号条形码粘贴在答题卡上的指定位置。 2.选择题的作答：每小题选出答案后 , 用 2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。写在试卷 、草稿纸和答题卡上的非答题区域均无效。 3.非选择题的作答：用黑色签字笔直接答在答题卡上对应的答题区域内。写在试卷、草稿纸 和答题卡上的非答题区域均无效。 4.考试结束后，请将本试卷和答题卡 一 并上交。 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，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。 1. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 How many courses did Helen take last term?

Although the game was first created in Britain, it was brought to Japan in 1902 by a Japanese university professor who learned it in England. From there it spread to China. An Englishman named Ivor Montagu loved ping-pong so much that he created the International Table Tennis Federation in the 1920s. He invited the Chinese to join the organization and compete in world championships. This helped to make the game popular throughout China. In the early 1950s, Chairman Mao Zedong declared ping-pong the national sport of China. Chairman Mao enjoyed playing the game against other government leaders. Soon, a Chinese player won the world championship in 1959. This man, Rong Guotuan, became the first Chinese athlete to become a world champion in any sport! Coaches would travel the Chinese countryside looking for excellent young players to train. They had to be able to move quickly, and good hands and eyes were also required. In recent years,basketball has become very popular among Chinese youth,but ping-pong still holds an important place in Chinese cultural history. 第二部分 阅读理解( 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，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 A Vietnam Vietnam is a place in Asia where you can travel for about 100 yuan per day if you play your cards right. Tourism is picking up in Vietnam lately, but it’s still a very affordable destination with lots of student-friendly options for backpacking. Con Dao Island National Park is a great destination in Vietnam to see sea turtles and other wildlife while exploring the area on foot. Albania It’s no secret that travelling to Europe isn’t generally cheap, but Albania is an exception to this rule. The cost of living in Albania is much more affordable than elsewhere in Europe, a fact that helps out travelers on a budget too. There are some amazing beaches to visit in this beautiful Mediterranean country if you’re looking for sunshine and relaxation, and the traditional food here is nothing short of “amazing”. Zakynthos Island, Greece While getting to Greece isn’t cheap, if you’re looking for an affordable European summer beach vacation, consider Zakynthos Island. It is part of the Ionian islands located west of the Greek mainland near the maritime border of Italy. Food is cheap and mouthwatering, while hotels are affordable. There are plenty of free things to do, although the favorite is spending time on the beautiful beaches edged by electric blue water. There are countless options for swimming in the enticing sea, along with charming villages and museums to explore on this beautiful island in Greece. 21. Which of the following statements is NOT correct according to the text of Albania? A. Albania is located in the Mediterranean area. B. You can relax yourself on the beach in Albania. C. The traditional food is not that amazing in Albania. D. Travelling in Albania is not as costly as other destinations in Europe. 22. Which of the following can you do in all the three destinations according to the texts? A. Appreciate sea scenery. B. Explore charming museums. C. Enjoy mouthwatering food. D. Visit a Mediterranean country. 23. Where is the text possibly taken from? A. A research paper. B. A travelling brochure. C. An encyclopedia. D. A geography textbook. 【答案】21. C 22. A 23. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了越南、阿尔巴尼亚和希腊扎金索斯岛三个性价比高的旅游目的地，包括各自的旅游特色、消费水平等信息。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据Albania中的“There are some amazing beaches to visit in this beautiful Mediterranean country if you’re looking for sunshine and relaxation, and the traditional food here is nothing short of “amazing”.(如果你正在寻找阳光和放松的地方，这个美丽的地中海国家有一些令人惊叹的海滩，而且这里的传统食物简直 “太棒了”)” 可知，阿尔巴尼亚的传统食物非常美味，而选项C 表述“阿尔巴尼亚的传统食物没那么美味”与原文不符。故选C项。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据Vietnam中的“Con Dao Island National Park is a great destination in Vietnam to see sea turtles and other wildlife while exploring the area on foot.(昆岛国家公园是越南的一个绝佳目的地，你可以在徒步探索该地区的同时看到海龟和其他野生动物)”、Albania中的“There are some amazing beaches to visit in this beautiful Mediterranean country if you’re looking for sunshine and relaxation.(如果你正在寻找阳光和放松的地方，这个美丽的地中海国家有一些令人惊叹的海滩)”以及Zakynthos Island, Greece中的“There are countless options for swimming in the enticing sea, along with charming villages and museums to explore on this beautiful island in Greece.(在这片迷人的海里游泳有无数的选择，还可以在这个美丽的希腊岛屿上探索迷人的村庄和博物馆)”可知，三个目的地都能欣赏海景。故选A 项。 【23题详解】 推理判断题。根据全文内容可知，文章主要介绍了三个性价比高的旅游目的地及其旅游特色，结合选项，该文本最可能来自旅游手册。故选B项。 B When I first set foot on Mexican soil, I spoke Spanish well. So when I asked a local ice-cream seller for an ice-cream, and he said “ahorita,” which directly translates to “right now,” I took him at his word, believing that its arrival was immediate. I sat near his shop and waited. Half an hour passed and still no ice-cream arrived, so I asked again about it. “Ahorita,” he told me again. His face was a mixture of confusion and maybe even embarrassment. I was torn. Waiting longer wasn’t pleasant, but I felt it was impolite to walk away, especially if the ice-cream was now being delivered just for me. But finally, after waiting too long, I made a rush for the nearest bus to take me home. As I left, I signalled at my wrist and shrugged to the ice-cream seller. Obviously, I couldn’t wait any longer and it really wasn’t my fault. His face was, once again, one of total confusion. This experience faded from my memory until years later when I came back to live in Mexico. I discovered that understanding “ahorita” took not a fluency in the language, but rather a fluency in the culture. When someone from Mexico says “ahorita,” it should almost never be taken literally (照字面地); its meaning changes greatly with context. As a linguist told me, “Ahorita could mean tomorrow, in an hour, within five years or never.” It is even used as a polite way of saying “no, thanks” when refusing an offer. Since I moved to Mexico, my attitude towards time has changed dramatically. I don’t worry so much about being late; I am generally still on time for appointments, but when I’m not, I don’t panic. Ironically, it would seem that “Ahorita Time” has actually allowed me to live far more in the “right now” than I ever did before. 24. Why did the author believe that his ice-cream’s arrival was immediate? A. Because his Spanish was fluent. B. Because he believed what the seller said. C. Because the seller told him that it would be served soon. D. Because he was confident of the direct translation of “ahorita”. 25. What made the author feel torn? A. Being frightened to quit the waiting. B. Being anxious to ask the seller again. C. Being curious to know the meaning of “ahorita”. D. Being unable to decide whether to wait or leave. 26. What should be paid attention to when understanding “ahorita”? A. Translating it literally. B. A fluency in the language. C. A fluency in the culture. D. Its unchangeable meaning. 27. What’s the author’s attitude towards time after he moved to Mexico? A. He lives far more in the moment. B. He is concerned about being late. C. He doesn’t take the set appointment time seriously. D. He gets panicked when being late for appointments. 【答案】24. D 25. D 26. C 27. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述作者初到墨西哥时，因按字面理解“ahorita”而在买冰淇淋时遭遇等待困扰，后来才明白理解该词需结合文化背景，作者因此改变了对时间的态度。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“So when I asked a local ice-cream seller for an ice-cream, and he said “ahorita,” which directly translates to “right now,” I took him at his word, believing that its arrival was immediate.(所以当我向当地一个卖冰淇淋的人要一个冰淇淋，他说“ahorita”，这个词直接翻译过来就是“马上”，我相信了他的话，认为冰淇淋马上就会来)”可知，作者相信冰淇淋马上会来是因为他对“ahorita”直接翻译的自信 。故选D项。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“I was torn. Waiting longer wasn’t pleasant, but I felt it was impolite to walk away, especially if the ice-cream was now being delivered just for me.(我很纠结。等得更久不太愉快，但我觉得就这么走掉不礼貌，尤其是如果冰淇淋此刻正只为我做着)”可知，作者纠结是因为无法决定是继续等还是离开。故选D项。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“I discovered that understanding “ahorita” took not a fluency in the language, but rather a fluency in the culture.(我发现理解‘ahorita’并不需要精通语言，而是需要熟悉文化)”可知，理解“ahorita”要注意熟悉文化。故选C项。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Since I moved to Mexico, my attitude towards time has changed dramatically. I don’t worry so much about being late; I am generally still on time for appointments, but when I’m not, I don’t panic. Ironically, it would seem that “Ahorita Time” has actually allowed me to live far more in the “right now” than I ever did before.(自从我搬到墨西哥，我对时间的态度发生了巨大变化。我不再那么担心迟到；我通常还是会准时赴约，但如果不准时，我也不会惊慌。具有讽刺意味的是，似乎‘ahorita时间’实际上让我比以往任何时候都更能活在“当下”)”可知，作者搬到墨西哥后对时间的态度是更要活在当下。故选A项。 C Adults check their phones, on average, 344 times a day — once every four minutes — and spend almost three hours a day on their devices in total. The problem for many of us is that one quick phone-related task leads to a quick check of our emails or social media feeds, and suddenly we’ve been sucked into endless scrolling. It’s a vicious circle. The more we use our phones, the more we lay neural pathways in our brains that lead to picking up our phones for whatever task is at hand, and the more we feel an urge to check our phones even when we don’t have to. What we do know is that the simple distraction of checking a phone or seeing a notification can have negative consequences. This isn’t very surprising; we know that, in general, multitasking impairs memory and performance. One of the most dangerous examples is phone use while driving. One study found that merely speaking on the phone, not texting, was enough to make drivers slower to react on the road. It’s true for everyday tasks that are less high-stakes, too. Simply hearing a notification “ding” made participants of another study perform far worse on a task — almost as badly as participants who were speaking or texting on the phone during the task. It isn’t just the use of a phone that has consequences — its mere presence can affect the way we think. The mere proximity (靠近) of a phone, it seems, contributes to “brain drain”. Our brains may be subconsciously hard at work in inhibiting the desire to check our phones, or constantly monitoring the environment to see if we should check our phone (e.g. waiting for a notification). Either way, this distracted attention can make doing anything else more difficult. The only “fix”, the researchers found, was putting the device in a different room entirely. 28. Which of the following examples has the opposite meaning of the underlined phrase “a vicious circle”? A. You get embarrassed, so you blush, so you get more embarrassed. B. The more you work out, the better you’ll feel and the more you’d like to continue to do exercise. C. The longer you stay at home, the more unwilling you will be to find a job and the more you’ll stay at home. D. The more chemicals you use to kill insects, the stronger the insects become so the more chemicals have to be used. 29. Why can the simple distraction of checking a phone have negative consequences? A. Because merely speaking on the phone but not texting is unacceptable. B. Because the mere presence of the phone can affect the way we think. C. Because simply hearing a notification will make people perform worse. D. Because doing more tasks at a time will damage people’s memory and performance. 30. What is the researchers’ suggestion in dealing with the problem of the presence of a phone? A. Put the phone in another room. B. Distract yourself from the phone. C. Monitor the environment constantly. D. Inhibit the desire to check the phone. 31. What’s the best title of the passage? A. What can mobile phones do for people? B. How have mobile phones changed our brains? C What benefits can people get from mobile phones? D. How can people stop the influence of mobile phones? 【答案】28. B 29. D 30. A 31. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了成年人频繁使用手机的现状，分析了手机使用形成的恶性循环，以及手机分心和手机存在本身对人们产生的负面影响及应对建议。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“The more we use our phones, the more we lay neural pathways in our brains that lead to picking up our phones for whatever task is at hand, and the more we feel an urge to check our phones even when we don’t have to.(我们使用手机的次数越多，大脑中就会形成越多的神经通路，导致我们在处理任何手头任务时都会拿起手机，而且即使不需要，我们也会更强烈地想要查看手机)”可知，a vicious circle指“恶性循环”，即坏的情况相互影响，不断恶化。选项B“你锻炼得越多，感觉就越好，也就越想继续锻炼”描述的是良性循环，与 “恶性循环” 含义相反。故选B项。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“What we do know is that the simple distraction of checking a phone or seeing a notification can have negative consequences. This isn’t very surprising; we know that, in general, multitasking impairs memory and performance.(我们所知道的是，仅仅是查看手机或看到通知这种简单的分心行为就可能产生负面后果。这并不奇怪；我们知道，一般来说，多任务处理会损害记忆力和表现)”可知，查看手机的简单分心会产生负面后果，是因为同时处理多项任务会损害人们的记忆力和表现。故选D项。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“The only “fix”, the researchers found, was putting the device in a different room entirely.(研究人员发现，唯一的“解决办法”是将设备完全放在另一个房间里)” 可知，研究人员针对手机存在带来的问题，建议将手机放在另一个房间。故选A项。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章主要介绍了频繁使用手机形成的恶性循环，以及手机分心和手机存在本身对人们大脑思维、记忆力、表现等方面的负面影响，核心是手机对人类大脑产生的改变及影响。选项B“手机如何改变了我们的大脑” 最适合作文章标题。故选B项。 D The mass death of flying foxes in extreme heat in North Queensland last month underlines the importance of University of Queensland wildlife research released today. The UQ research sheds light on how various species have responded to major climate events. A study led by UQ School of Earth and Environmental Science researcher Dr. Sean Maxwell has spent more than 70 years quantifying the responses of various species. “The growing frequency and intensity of extreme weather events such as cyclones (旋风), droughts and floods is causing unpredictable and immediate changes to ecosystems and blocking existing management efforts,” Dr. Maxwell said. “Some of the negative responses we found were quite concerning, including more than 100 cases of dramatic population declines and 31 cases of local population extinction following an extreme event.” “Populations of critically endangered bird species in Hawaii, such as the palia, have been annihilated due to drought, leaving none of its kind, and populations of lizard species have been wiped out due to cyclones in the Bahamas.” Cyclones were the most common extreme event for birds, fish, plants and reptiles, while mammals and amphibians were most responsive to drought events, with drought leading to 12 cases of major population decline in mammals. Drought also led to 13 cases of breeding declines in bird populations and 12 cases of changes in the composition of invertebrate (无脊椎的) communities. UQ Centre for Biodiversity and Conservation Science director Professor James Watson said the detailed information would help inform ecosystem management. “The research clearly shows species will respond, often negatively, to extreme events,” Professor Watson said. “As climate change continues to ensure extreme climate and weather events are more and more common, we now need to act to ensure species have the best chance to survive. Wherever possible, high quality and intact habitat areas should be retained, as these are the places where species are most resilient (易恢复的) to increasing exposure to extreme events.” 32. Which of the following is one of the worrying negative responses after an extreme weather event according to Dr. Maxwell? A. The dramatic population increase of more than 100 cases. B. The death of the remaining living members of 31 local species. C. The growing frequency and intensity of extreme weather events. D. The frequent and severe strikes of cyclones, droughts and floods. 33. What consequence has drought brought about according to the text? A. The species of palia has been destroyed completely. B The number of the palia has decreased significantly. C. The number of the lizard species has declined greatly. D. The populations of lizard species have been wiped out. 34. Which of the following statements is correct based on the last but two paragraphs? A. Mammals and amphibians responded to cyclone events the most. B. Droughts affected birds, fish, plants and reptiles most commonly. C. 13 cases of breeding decreases in bird populations resulted from the shortage of rainfall. D. Tornado resulted in the 12 cases of changes in the composition of invertebrate communities. 35. What’s the main idea of the passage? A. Human actions about nature lead to frightening climate changes. B. Various species are negatively affected by extreme climate events. C. High quality and intact habitat areas should be reserved for species. D. Climate change ensures increasingly common extreme climate events. 【答案】32. B 33. A 34. C 35. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了昆士兰大学的研究表明，极端天气频发对各类物种造成诸多负面影响，如数量骤降、局部灭绝，不同物种对不同极端天气的反应各异，该研究为生态管理提供了依据。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Some of the negative responses we found were quite concerning, including more than 100 cases of dramatic population declines and 31 cases of local population extinction following an extreme event.”(我们发现的一些负面反应相当令人担忧，包括超过100例显著的种群数量下降以及31例在极端事件发生后出现的局部种群灭绝)”可知，麦克斯韦博士明确指出，极端天气后令人担忧的负面反应包括超100例种群数量骤降、31 例当地种群灭绝。故选B项。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Populations of critically endangered bird species in Hawaii, such as the palia, have been annihilated due to drought, leaving none of its kind, and populations of lizard species have been wiped out due to cyclones in the Bahamas.(夏威夷极度濒危鸟类物种，如帕利亚鸟，由于干旱而灭绝，其种群已全部消失；巴哈马的蜥蜴物种也因飓风而灭绝)”可知，干旱使得夏威夷的帕利亚鸟因干旱彻底灭绝，无存活个体。故选A项。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第三段“Cyclones were the most common extreme event for birds, fish, plants and reptiles, while mammals and amphibians were most responsive to drought events, with drought leading to 12 cases of major population decline in mammals. Drought also led to 13 cases of breeding declines in bird populations and 12 cases of changes in the composition of invertebrate (无脊椎的) communities.(飓风是鸟类、鱼类、植物和爬行动物最常遭遇的极端天气事件，而哺乳动物和两栖动物对干旱事件的反应最为强烈，干旱导致了哺乳动物12起重大种群数量下降的情况。干旱还导致鸟类种群繁殖数量下降13起，以及无脊椎动物群落组成变化12起)”可知，由于降雨量不足，鸟类种群出现了13起繁殖数量减少的情况。故选C项。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章主要讲的是昆士兰大学的研究表明，极端天气频发对各类物种造成诸多负面影响，如数量骤降、局部灭绝，不同物种对不同极端天气的反应各异，该研究为生态管理提供了依据。由此可知，这篇文章的主旨是不同物种受到极端气候事件的负面影响。故选B项。 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。 What Can We Learn From The Art of War?

It’s a Hebrew word that means “to do a good deed”. And according to my grandmother, it also had another meaning. This was the one she was always pointing out to me because she’d noticed how shy I was about letting people do things for me. “Linda, it’s a blessing to do a mitzvah for someone else, but sometimes it’s also a blessing to let another person do something for you.” Snowflakes had been falling past my window for several hours when it was time to leave for my final examination. I put on two sweaters, a coat, a wool hat and boots, making for the bus stop. In this December storm it was a hard journey. For an hour, I stretched my neck, praying desperately that a bus would come. Then I gave up. The wind at my back pushed me toward home, and I prayed, “How can I get to school? What should I do?” As I pulled Grandma’s scarf more tightly around my neck, again I seemed to hear that whisper: Ask someone for a lift! It could be a mitzvah. That idea had never really made sense to me. And even if I wanted to ask someone for a good deed, which I did not, there wasn’t a single person on the street. But as I pushed the door of my apartment building open, I found myself face to face with a woman at the mailbox. She was wearing a brown coat and had a set of keys in her hand. Obviously she had a car, and just as obviously, she was going out. 注意： 1. 续写词数应150词左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 In that split second, desperation overcame pride. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “I’m sorry but...you’re Mrs. Green, the woman with cancer?!” I exclaimed in disbelief while sitting on her passenger seat. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: In that split second, desperation overcame pride. I blurted, “Could you possibly give me a lift?” I requested awkwardly. An odd look crossed the woman’s face, but then, without any hesitation she agreed in a pleasant tone, “No problem! Come on!” Following her, I was terribly embarrassed for bringing trouble for this kind lady. But she comforted me and spoke so warmly that my uncomfortable feeling was immediately replaced by a sense of relief. Soon we started exchanging our information while she was driving me to my destination. “I’m sorry but...you’re Mrs. Green, the woman with cancer?!” I exclaimed in disbelief while sitting on her passenger seat. I had asked a person struggling with cancer to go out in a snowstorm to drive me to school. Immediately, a strong sense of apology welled up in my eyes. “Actually, I need to thank you.” Mrs. Green said sincerely, and continued to explain that she used to be able to do things for others. However, after her diagnosis, everybody kept helping her. “Tonight before I went out, I prayed to feel like part of the human race again. Then you came along...” It was at the very moment that I fully understood another meaning of “Mitzvah” — it’s also a blessing to let another person do something for you. 【解析】 【导语】本文以“善举的双重意义”为线索展开，讲述了害羞的琳达刚搬新家，因大雪无法前往学校参加期末考试，在祖母关于“接受他人帮助也是一种善举”的话语指引下，放下骄傲向邻居求助，却意外发现求助对象正是需要接受化疗、众人帮扶的格林夫人，最终领悟善举真谛的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ① 由第一段首句“就在那一瞬间，绝望战胜了骄傲。”可知，接下来可描写琳达放下骄傲向女士求助的窘迫场景，女士的爽快答应与暖心安慰，以及两人途中交流信息的过程，为下文揭示女士身份铺垫。 ② 由第二段首句““抱歉，你……你就是格林夫人，那位患了癌症的女士？！” 我坐在副驾驶座上，难以置信地惊呼。”可知，接下来可描写琳达发现对方身份后的愧疚之情，格林夫人的真诚回应与内心诉求，以及琳达最终领悟“接受他人帮助也是一种善举”这一核心含义的过程。 2. 续写线索： 放下骄傲求助——女士爽快应允并暖心安慰——途中交流信息——发现求助对象是格林夫人——心生愧疚——格林夫人真诚回应（渴望重获价值感）——领悟善举双重真谛 3.词类激活 行为类 ①顺路载某人一程：give sb. a lift/give sb. a ride/drive sb. somewhere ②涌现：well up/flood 情绪类 ①尴尬的：embarrassed/awkward ②放松：relief/ease/relaxation 【点睛】【高分句型1】 But she comforted me and spoke so warmly that my uncomfortable feeling was immediately replaced by a sense of relief. （运用了so...that...句型引导结果状语从句） 【高分句型2】 Mrs. Green said sincerely, and continued to explain that she used to be able to do things for others.（运用了that引导的宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $湖北省部分省级示范高中2023至2024学年上学期期末测试高一英语试卷听力部分。Test . one第一节，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。Text one, Helen, how many courses are you going to take this term?
