As LITs, teens will help lead various programs and inspire others with their enthusiasm and passion for the environment. LIT participants (参与者) should be at least 13 years old. Even older teens, babysitters, or older siblings, who have experience working with kids or in outdoor programs, can join. LITs will take part in a variety of tasks throughout the day. They will help the coaches teach sports or art, take photos, set up activities, and organize camp supplies. They may also support the team by helping with minor injuries, managing snack breaks, or telling stories. By joining our LIT program, participants will gain important leadership skills. This training begins with either a week-long camp experience or four Saturdays, during which teens will learn about nature, wilderness skills, emotional intelligence, and leadership. They will also have the chance to work closely with experienced outdoor educators to improve their connection to nature. At the end of the program, participants will receive an official Nature-Led Teen Leadership in Training Certificate. After completing the training, they will have the opportunity to assist (协助) teachers during summer camps. The registration fee (报名费) covers both the training and the summer camp activities, making it an all-inclusive experience. Sign up today to begin your leadership journey with us this summer! 1. What is the main purpose of the LIT program? A. To organize sports and art camps. B. To give career advice to young adults. C. To teach teens about indoor plants. D. To train teens in leadership and nature. 2. Which is a requirement for LIT participants? A. They sign up in groups. B. They are college students. C. They must be at least 13. D. They have work experience. 3. What will participants do in the LIT program? A. Gain wilderness skills. B. Assist teachers in a school. C. Lead sports competitions. D. Watch younger kids at home. B A major study has investigated the relationship between walking and the risk of developing chronic (慢性的) back problems. The findings could save the healthcare system significant amounts of money while also easing many people’s back pain — if we just follow the simple advice provided. The results are clear: People who walk a lot have less back pain than people who do not walk much — and the amount is what matters most, not the intensity (强度). It is better to walk a lot than to walk fast. “People who walk more than 100 minutes every day have a 23% lower risk of back problems than those who walk 78 minutes or less,” said Rayane Haddadj, a PhD candidate at the Department of Public Health. It probably comes as no surprise that physical activity is good for your back, but until now we have not actually known whether the amount of low-intensity walking we do also helps prevent back problems. “Intensity also plays a role in the risk of long-term back problems, but not as much as the daily amount of walking,” emphasized Haddadj. The results may be important in relation to preventing chronic back problems. Until now, there has been little research on the prevention of these types of problems. It is well known that physical activity can prevent a wide range of illnesses and diseases. This study is important because it confirms that physical activity, and especially daily walking, can help prevent long-term back problems. “The findings highlight the importance of finding time to be physically active — to prevent both chronic back problems and a number of other diseases. Over time, this could lead to major savings for society,” said Paul Jarle Mork, a professor at the Department of Public Health and Nursing. 4. What does the first paragraph stress about the findings? A. Patients’ answer. B. Public concern. C. Practical benefits. D. Simple advice. 5. What is the most important for reducing back pain according to the study? A. The place to walk. B. The pace of walking. C. The size of walking steps. D. The amount of walking. 6. Which of the following needs more research? A. What effect walking can bring about. B. How to prevent chronic back pain. C. Why physical activity is important. D. What causes chronic back problems. 7. What is Paul’s attitude towards the result of the study? A. Positive. B. Doubtful. C. Worried. D. Uncaring. C Robotic technology is rapidly advancing in high-risk industrial environments like some factories. However, there remain many tasks that still require human oversight, despite advances in robotics. The challenge lies in the fact that operating robots is more difficult than expected, and even small mistakes may lead to accidents. To address this, a research team led by Professor Keehoon Kim and Ph. D. candidate Jaehyun Park from the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH) developed two types of new devices that allow users to feel interaction at their fingertips while controlling robots remotely. The “POstick-KF” device sends the precise force changes a robot experiences when pushing or pulling objects directly to the user, giving the operator precise control over operations. Meanwhile, the “POstick-VF” device provides a combination of tactile and visual feedback (触觉和视觉反馈), making it effective for use in larger workspaces. Both devices are modeled after the actual size and shape of real tools, allowing even the beginners to adapt quickly, and can be selected according to the work environment or the operator’s skill level. Simulation (模拟) experiments showed the effectiveness of these devices: users achieved higher accuracy in operating the robots and significantly reduced the risk of running into obstacles (障碍物) compared to traditional devices. The new devices also include digital twin technology, enabling users to simulate actual robot operations in virtual environments, and use augmented reality (AR) to further improve user concentration and experience. Professor Keehoon Kim, who led the research, made a comment, “Our devices enable tasks requiring human’s skillfulness to be performed more safely and precisely in cooperation with robots. We believe they will improve safety in industrial sites and reduce the pressure on workers.” 8. What can we learn from paragraph 1? A. There are few advances in robotics. B. Operating robots can be challenging. C. Robots work perfectly with humans. D. Robots tend to make big mistakes. 9. What is an advantage of the two new devices? A. They look small in size. B. They are user-friendly. C. They are low-cost. D. They free people from work. 10. What is Professor Keehoon Kim’s opinion on the new devices? A. They are of practical value. B. They still need improving. C. They are not safe to use now. D. They add to pressure on workers. 11. From which part of a magazine is the text most probably taken? A. Culture. B. Nature. C. Education. D. Technology. D An international team led by researchers from the University of Adelaide and the University of Copenhagen reconstructed an 11,700-year ecological baseline for bowhead whales, which are a threatened Arctic native species. Using computer models, fossils, and hunting records, the team mapped the location and size of suitable summer foraging habitat (觅食栖息地) for bowhead whales, finding that until recently it had remained nearly unchanged. However, they predict (预测) that future climate change will destroy 65—75 percent of this foraging habitat by the end of the 21st century. In the Sea of Okhotsk, which is home to one of only four populations of bowhead whales, usable summer habitat is likely to vanish entirely by 2060. The reason for the reduction is the breakup of a close relationship between bowhead whales and summer sea ice cover. “Bowhead whales have preferred to forage among sea ice for thousands of years,” said lead author Nicholas Freymueller. “However, Arctic sea ice has become less in recent decades, and this is set to be worse in coming decades, causing where bowhead whales currently gather in large numbers to be lost.” The team also found that the few areas of suitable bowhead habitat predicted to remain in the year 2100 will exist outside their current distribution (分布), directly affecting protection policies. “By identifying the extent and location of bowhead whale habitat that is likely to be lost in coming decades, we provide important information to guide future management efforts of this species,” said Professor Eline Lorenzen. Bowhead whales are still recovering from four centuries of hunting. “By using ecological models and historical records to reconstruct pre-hunting distributions of bowhead whales, we were able to develop a much stronger understanding of the habitat preferences of this species that was nearly hunted to extinction. This is of great importance because the ongoing threats they face are reflective of what other Arctic species face because of climate change,” said senior author Damien Fordham. 12. What does the underlined word “vanish” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Approach. B. Disappear. C. Recover. D. Spread. 13. What is Nicholas Freymueller trying to do in paragraph 3? A. To share a suggestion. B. To make a summary. C. To give an explanation. D. To show an expectation. 14. Why does Damien Fordham consider studying bowhead whales important? A. It offers a solution to whale hunting. B. It enables their competitors to avoid them. C. It allows them to search for suitable habitat. D. It helps to learn about threats to other species. 15. What does the text focus on? A. Ecological models and historical records. B. Summer sea ice cover and frequent hunting. C. Arctic native species and protection policies. D. Climate change and bowhead whales’ habitat. 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。 Volunteer teachers play an important role in providing education in areas with limited resources.

Because of this, she had trouble waking up early and would sometimes be late for school. One morning, she walked into class late again, and Mr. Wells, her English teacher, became very angry. He looked at Sally and said firmly, “If you’re late again tomorrow, I will call your father.” Sally felt nervous because her parents were very strict. She knew they wouldn’t be happy if that happened. She said sorry to Mr. Wells and promised she would be on time the next day. Determined to keep her promise, Sally woke up very early the next morning. She didn’t want to risk being late again. She quickly got dressed, grabbed her school bag, and rushed out the door without having breakfast. By the time the bell rang, she had already sat at her desk, feeling proud of herself. However, when the door opened, it wasn’t Mr. Wells who entered the room — it was Miss Jones. Mr. Wells was on a business trip, and Miss Jones was filling in for him that day. Sally was disappointed. She had worked so hard to be on time, but it didn’t seem to matter in the end. The next day, Sally woke up even earlier. She didn’t want to take any chances, so she ate a quick breakfast and left for school with enough time to spare. As she walked near the school gate, she noticed something on the ground. It was a wallet. She picked it up and decided to wait for the owner. A moment later, Sally checked the time and heard the first bell ringing. She knew she had to hurry, but she didn’t want to ignore the wallet. She thought for a while, and then decided, “I should turn it in to the headmaster first.” She rushed to the headmaster’s office and handed it in. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 When Sally reached the classroom, Mr. Wells had already started the class. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As the bell rang for break, the headmaster walked into the classroom. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 高一年级上学期期末考试 英语试卷 考生注意： 1.本试卷分选择题和非选择题两部分。满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 2.答题前，考生务必用直径0.5毫米黑色墨水签字笔将密封线内项目填写清楚。 3.考生作答时，请将答案答在答题卡上。选择题每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑；非选择题请用直径0.5毫米黑色墨水签字笔在答题卡上各题的答题区域内作答，超出答题区域书写的答案无效，在试题卷、草稿纸上作答无效。 4.本卷命题范围：至人教版必修第二册Unit3. 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段录音。每段录音后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段录音后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段录音播放两遍。 1.

One of the most famous examples is the Great Wall. It’s not just a wall, but a wonder that winds across mountains and valleys, stretching over thousands of miles. Built over centuries, it’s a testament to human wisdom. The Wall’s towering watchtowers and winding stone paths tell countless stories of the past. If you ever get the chance, I highly recommend visiting it in person. Walking on the ancient bricks, you’ll feel the weight of history beneath your feet. Feel free to reach out if you have more questions! Yours, Li Hua 第二节（满分25分） 【47题答案】 【答案】例文 When Sally reached the classroom, Mr. Wells had already started the class. Mr. Wells, who had returned from his business trip, looked at her and said, “You promised to be on time, but you’re late again!” Sally was about to explain, but Mr. Wells interrupted her, “No excuses, Sally! I don’t want to hear it.” Tears began to roll down her cheeks as she thought, “This is so unfair! What will my parents say if Mr. Wells really calls them? How will they punish me?” As the bell rang for break, the headmaster walked into the classroom. He was holding the wallet Sally had found. He walked up to Mr. Wells and asked, “Is this your wallet?” Mr. Wells nodded, surprised. The headmaster continued, “You should thank Sally. She picked this wallet up, waited at the gate and handed it in to me this morning.” At that moment, Mr. Wells realized he had made a mistake. He felt embarrassed but also grateful. He turned to Sally and said, “I’m terribly sorry. I still need to call your parents, but this time, I will tell them how warm-hearted you are.” 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
