At age eight, he began reading The Joy of Music by conductor and composer (作曲家) Leonard Bernstein and got to know how to direct with a baton (指挥棒) . When Michael entered junior high, he joined an orchestra and band and learned to play many instruments. He was just 12 years old when his instructor asked him to compose and conduct a concert piece. And that was only the beginning. Throughout high school, he continued to develop his artistic talent, and after graduating, he headed to Oberlin Conservatory of Music. Morgan is dedicated (致力于) to offering kids a chance to explore classical music. In his hometown of Oakland, California, he started to volunteer in local schools, conducting student orchestras and talking with kids about music. Later, Morgan developed MUSE (Music for Excellence), a music education program for kids. He brings musicians from Oakland Symphony into classrooms to teach kids. He also works with teachers in after-school programs to teach students who can’t afford lessons. Morgan says his work is mostly about providing young people with an entrance into music. “Instruments are a way for kids to express their feelings, and give them an interest they can carry with them through life,” he says. 4.

He wanted to give Michael piano lessons. 5. When did Michael begin to learn how to conduct? A. After he developed MUSE. B. After he read The Joy of Music. C.

He also works with teachers in after-school programs to teach students who can’t afford lessons.(他把奥克兰交响乐团的音乐家带到教室里教孩子们。他还在课后项目中与老师合作，教那些上不起课的学生)”可知，孩子们参加MUSE可以接受音乐教育。故选C。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段的“Michael Morgan was six years old when...(当……的时候，Michael Morgan六岁)”，第二段的“At age eight(在八岁时)”，第三段的“When Michael entered junior high(当迈克尔进入初中时)”可知，本文按照时间顺序讲述了Michael的音乐成长之路以及成名之后为家乡的孩子学习音乐所做的公益事业。故选D。 C The Cool Taxi is a Hackney Carriage that was changed into a freezer on wheels, using dry ice to keep the inside cool for passengers. It has a number of features designed to keep riders cool, including a freezer filled with ice lollies (冰棍)and a state-of-the-art air conditioning system.

It would be impossible to work without it. You need to keep cool and stay hydrated （水分），and sometimes in a typical taxi this is difficult to keep. 可知，我在伦敦开出租车度过了10个夏天，我知道你们需要一些好的空调设备。没有它是不可能工作的。你需要保持凉爽和水分，有时在标准的出租车里是很难做到的。由此判断出，Tony将尽最大努力改善出租车的状况，故选D。 【9题详解】 词义猜测题。根据文章第四段Elizabeth Ann Iliffe，who was paying a visit to London from the South East，said，"It is amazing. It feels just like a scene（场境）from Frozen.

This famous trade route (路线) was where they earned their living. Far more than a simple trading network the Silk Road passed through thousands of cities and towns. It started from eastern China, across Central Asia and the Middle East, and ended in the Mediterranean Sea. It was used from about 200 BC to about AD 1300, when sea travel offered new routes, providing more convenience. It was sometimes called the world’s longest highway. However, the Silk Road was made up of many routes, not one smooth path. They passed through what are now 18 countries. The routes crossed mountains and deserts and had many dangers of hot sun, deep snow and even battles. Only experienced traders could return safe. The Silk Road got its name from its most prized product. Silk could be used like money to pay taxes or buy goods. However, the Silk Road facilitated (促进) the exchange of many other significant goods. European gold, silver, and glass reached the Middle East and Asia, while horses traded from other areas changed farming practices in China. Indian businessmen traded salt and other valuable goods. Chinese businessmen traded paper, which produced an immediate effect on the West. Apples traveled from central Asia to Rome. The Chinese had learned to graft (嫁接) different trees together to make new kinds of fruit. They passed this science on to others, including the Romans. The Romans used grafting to grow the apple. Trading along the Silk Road led to world-wide business 2,000 years before the World Wide Web. The people along the Silk Road did not share just goods. They also shared their beliefs. The Silk Road provided pathways for learning, diplomacy (外交), and religion (宗教). 12. The Silk Road became less important because ________. A. people needed fewer foreign goods B. sea travel provided easier routes C. silk trading became less popular D. it was made up of various routes 13. It’s probable that traders along the Silk Road needed ________. A. to deal with a lot of difficulties B. to receive certain special training C. to know the making of products D. to remember the entire trade route 14. New technologies could travel along the Silk Road because people ________. A. traded goods along the route B. earned their living by traveling C. learned from one another D. shared each other’s beliefs 15. What is the best title for the passage? A. The Silk Road: Routes Full of Dangers B. The Silk Road: Pathways for Learning C. The Silk Road: Past and Present D. The Silk Road: East Meets West 【答案】12. B 13. A 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了丝绸之路的历史、贸易路线、交换的商品及其在促进东西方商品流通、技术传播和文化交流中的重要作用。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“It was used from about 200 BC to about AD 1300, when sea travel offered new routes, providing more convenience.(它从公元前200年左右开始使用，一直到公元1300年左右，当时海上旅行提供了新的路线，更加便捷。)”可知，丝绸之路变得不那么重要是因为海上旅行提供了更便捷的路线。故选B项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“The routes crossed mountains and deserts and had many dangers of hot sun, deep snow and even battles. Only experienced traders could return safe.(这些路线穿越山脉和沙漠，面临着烈日、深雪甚至战争等诸多危险。只有经验丰富的商人才能安全返回。)”可知，丝绸之路的商人可能需要应对很多困难。故选A项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The Chinese had learned to graft (嫁接) different trees together to make new kinds of fruit. They passed this science on to others, including the Romans.(中国人学会了将不同的树嫁接在一起，培育出新的水果品种。他们把这门技术传给了其他人，包括罗马人。)”以及第四段“The people along the Silk Road did not share just goods. They also shared their beliefs. The Silk Road provided pathways for learning, diplomacy (外交), and religion (宗教).(丝绸之路沿线的人们不仅分享商品，还分享他们的信仰。丝绸之路为学习、外交和宗教提供了途径。)”可知，新技术能够通过丝绸之路传播是因为人们相互学习。故选C项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段中的“Far more than a simple trading network, the Silk Road passed through thousands of cities and towns. It started from eastern China, across Central Asia and the Middle East, and ended in the Mediterranean Sea. It was used from about 200 BC to about AD 1300, when sea travel offered new routes, providing more convenience. It was sometimes called the world’s longest highway. However, the Silk Road was made up of many routes, not one smooth path. They passed through what are now 18 countries.(丝绸之路远非简单的贸易网络，它途经数千座城镇。其起点位于中国东部，横跨中亚与中东地区，最终抵达地中海沿岸。它的使用时间约为公元前200年至公元1300年，此后海上旅行开辟了新的路线，带来了更多便利。丝绸之路有时被称为 “世界上最长的公路”，但它并非一条平坦的通道，而是由多条路线组成，途经如今的18个国家。)并通读全文可知，文章介绍了丝绸之路连接了东方和西方，促进了东西方之间的商品贸易、技术传播和文化交流，因此“丝绸之路：东西方的交汇”最适合作为文章标题。故选D项。 第二节(共5小题，每小题2.5分，共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。 Get Smart About Saving Knowing how to manage money is an important life skill.

The snowstorm was supposed to hit the evening of Monday, Jan. 31. I was working from home, but I had to leave that afternoon and go to my office at First Nations University, so I could sign an emergency financial aid check for a student. I wasn’t worried. I figured I had more than enough time to make it to the office and get back home. I arrived at the office, finished the business successfully and brought the scarves I had prepared for my two daughters to the car. To be safe, I decided to take the country roads back home instead of the highway, which could fast become a skating rink. However, the snow started earlier than expected-and it was coming down fast! The road soon switched from paved (柏油路) to gravel (碎石路), forcing me to slow down. The windows were fogging up and getting covered with snow. I didn’t have a clue where I was or even which side of the road I was on. What I knew was just that I was among several big farms. I stopped because I was afraid of driving into a farmer’s field. Luckily, I had filled up my car with gas. I kept the car running to stay warm and called 911. The dispatcher (调度员) told me to sit tight and wait things out for the night—nobody was coming to get me until morning, at the earliest. Getting out to walk in a whiteout with zero visibility, high winds and a temperature around minus 4 degrees—when I didn’t even know where I was—wasn’t an option. It was now about 7 p. m. and dark. Misfortune never came alone. I just realized that my phone has run out of battery. I was at a loss and looked around to find a way to escape from the desperate situation. Suddenly, I saw a tall figure in a yellow raincoat shaking in the dark, carrying a flashlight and other farming tools. I invited him into the car and knew that he was Andy, a farmer living on the other side of the farm with his wife. 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 cold wind outside made him look pale and he was trembling. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After driving in the darkness for a long time, we finally stopped before a farmhouse with lights still on. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文 The cold wind outside made him look pale and he was trembling. Without hesitation. I turned the air-conditioning up and offered him the scarves meant for my daughters. Wrapping them around himself, Andy felt much better, gratitude shining in his eyes. “I was out checking on the farm work, but the snowstorm hit earlier than expected.” he explained, his voice tinged with exhaustion. Knowing what happened, I planned to bring him back home. Therefore, with Andy’s knowledge of the surroundings and my vague sense of direction, we set off into the wintry night. After driving in the darkness for a long time, we finally stopped before a farmhouse with lights still on. As we stepped out of the car, a lady who seemed to be Andy’s wife, rushed out, her face filled with worry and relief. Tears welled up in her eyes as she embraced her husband tightly, gratitude pouring from every gesture. As a show of appreciation, they invited me inside for a warm cup of tea, insisting I stay the night. Surrounded by the warmth of their hospitality, we shared stories and laughter late into the night, the bond forged in adversity growing stronger with each passing moment. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了主人公在暴风雪中迷路，被一位农夫安迪所救的故事。安迪在暴风雪中前来帮助主人公，主人公也在车里提供了保暖措施给安迪。最终他们一起找到安迪的家，得到了安迪和他妻子的热情招待。文章讲述了在困境中相互帮助，建立友谊的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“外面的寒风吹得他脸色苍白，浑身发抖。”可知，第一段可描写作者帮助安迪，与他一起出发的经过。 ②由第二段首句内容“在黑暗中行驶了很长一段时间后，我们终于在一间还亮着灯的农舍前停了下来。”可知，第二段可描写作者把安迪送回家，安迪妻子坚持让作者在这里过夜。 2.续写线索：安迪脸色苍白，浑身发抖——作者帮助安迪——打算送安迪回家——终于到达——表达感激——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①提供：offered/ provided ②打算做某事：plan to do/intend to do ③拥抱：embrace/hug 情绪类 ①感激：gratitude/appreciation ②担心：worry/concern 【点睛】[高分句型1] Wrapping them around himself, Andy felt much better, gratitude shining in his eyes.（运用了现在分词作状语和独立主格结构） [高分句型2] As we stepped out of the car, a lady who seemed to be Andy’s wife, rushed out, her face filled with worry and relief.（运用了As引导的时间状语从句以及关系代词who引导的定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 临澧一中2025年下学期高一期末考试英语试卷 时量：120分钟 分值：150分 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。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。每段对话读两遍。 1.

B Michael Morgan was six years old when his father moved a neighbor’s unwanted piano into their living room. “And that’s really where the whole thing started,” he says. “My mother and grandmother had played the piano a little bit, but my father just thought it was a good thing to have in the house.” Young Michael started piano lessons, but it was when he saw a conductor (指挥) leading an orchestra on television that he realized what he really wanted to do.

It has a number of features designed to keep riders cool, including a freezer filled with ice lollies (冰棍)and a state-of-the-art air conditioning system. A spokesperson for Andrews Air Conditioning said，“Britain has become a hot country, and the British are feeling the heat. For commuters(通勤者）there is nothing worse on a hot day than getting into a hot taxi, so we wanted to help to avoid this experience with Cool Taxi. Cool Taxi driver Tony，who has driven a taxi for 11 years, said, “I have done 10 London summers in the taxi and I know you need some good air conditioning. It would be impossible to work without it.

This famous trade route (路线) was where they earned their living. Far more than a simple trading network, the Silk Road passed through thousands of cities and towns. It started from eastern China, across Central Asia and the Middle East, and ended in the Mediterranean Sea. It was used from about 200 BC to about AD 1300, when sea travel offered new routes, providing more convenience. It was sometimes called the world’s longest highway. However, the Silk Road was made up of many routes, not one smooth path. They passed through what are now 18 countries. The routes crossed mountains and deserts and had many dangers of hot sun, deep snow and even battles. Only experienced traders could return safe. The Silk Road got its name from its most prized product. Silk could be used like money to pay taxes or buy goods. However, the Silk Road facilitated (促进) the exchange of many other significant goods. European gold, silver, and glass reached the Middle East and Asia, while horses traded from other areas changed farming practices in China. Indian businessmen traded salt and other valuable goods. Chinese businessmen traded paper, which produced an immediate effect on the West. Apples traveled from central Asia to Rome. The Chinese had learned to graft (嫁接) different trees together to make new kinds of fruit. They passed this science on to others, including the Romans. The Romans used grafting to grow the apple. Trading along the Silk Road led to world-wide business 2,000 years before the World Wide Web. The people along the Silk Road did not share just goods. They also shared their beliefs. The Silk Road provided pathways for learning, diplomacy (外交), and religion (宗教). 12. The Silk Road became less important because ________.

The snowstorm was supposed to hit the evening of Monday, Jan. 31. I was working from home, but I had to leave that afternoon and go to my office at First Nations University, so I could sign an emergency financial aid check for a student. I wasn’t worried. I figured I had more than enough time to make it to the office and get back home. I arrived at the office, finished the business successfully and brought the scarves I had prepared for my two daughters to the car. To be safe, I decided to take the country roads back home instead of the highway, which could fast become a skating rink. However, the snow started earlier than expected-and it was coming down fast! The road soon switched from paved (柏油路) to gravel (碎石路), forcing me to slow down. The windows were fogging up and getting covered with snow. I didn’t have a clue where I was or even which side of the road I was on. What I knew was just that I was among several big farms. I stopped because I was afraid of driving into a farmer’s field. Luckily, I had filled up my car with gas. I kept the car running to stay warm and called 911. The dispatcher (调度员) told me to sit tight and wait things out for the night—nobody was coming to get me until morning, at the earliest. Getting out to walk in a whiteout with zero visibility, high winds and a temperature around minus 4 degrees—when I didn’t even know where I was—wasn’t an option. It was now about 7 p. m. and dark. Misfortune never came alone. I just realized that my phone has run out of battery. I was at a loss and looked around to find a way to escape from the desperate situation. Suddenly, I saw a tall figure in a yellow raincoat shaking in the dark, carrying a flashlight and other farming tools. I invited him into the car and knew that he was Andy, a farmer living on the other side of the farm with his wife. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。 The cold wind outside made him look pale and he was trembling. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After driving in the darkness for a long time, we finally stopped before a farmhouse with lights still on. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
