With the tools fetched from the backyard, they returned to the forest to search for an appropriate young tree for a cane. Hardly had they selected one when they got started with their big project. Andy, the elder brother, took on the job of cutting it down, while Berlin, who was younger and more creative, was responsible for decoration. Hard as it might seem to them, they never thought about quitting. After what seemed a long time, an elegant and tough cane appeared. Both of them were more than satisfied with their work and couldn't wait to rush home. Andy and Berlin handed the cane to Grandpa. The instant he saw it, he knew what it was all about. Deeply touched by the grandsons' gift, he took it with great excitement and tapped it on the ground several times. Obviously, he attempted to stand up with it. With the encouragement of the two brothers, he struggled to get up, slowly walking towards the forest. A cheerful and joyful expression, which Andy and Berlin had expected of Grandpa, flashed on his face. It was at that moment that they literally felt all the efforts to make the cane were all worth it. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 荆州中学2025～2026学年高一上学期期末考试 英语试题 （全卷满分150分，考试用时120分钟） 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。每段对话读两遍。 1．What’s the man’s native language?

If you only have one day to spare, consider one of these quick day trips from Los Angeles to some amazing nearby destinations. Palm Springs If you want to exercise, check out the Indian Canyons that offer hiking routes and different attractive views.

And it’s a perfect way to day-trip because all the places are within walking distance of the station.

Walk along Marine Avenue, the island’s main street. Here you’ll find plenty of restaurants, gift shops, and you can learn some local history in Island Museum. San Juan Capistrano A piece of California history and an old town make San Juan Capistrano an unusual day-trip destination with a lot of beauty and a little learning.

B Everyone tries their best in life, and sometimes a few kind words of encouragement can help people realize that their efforts are not in vain (徒劳). I remember a time when I was in fifth grade, and I was a very shy girl. There was a drawing competition at my school that day. As everyone started to use their creative ideas to draw, I was only trying to think of something creative that could express my thoughts and emotions. Lost in my own world, I was brought back to reality when my art teacher called my name from behind. She came to me and encouraged me, saying, “Don’t overthink it, just put whatever comes to your mind on the canvas (画布). Do your best, and you will do well.” Taking her words of wisdom to heart, I started my painting. Time flew by, and soon the bell rang, signaling the end of the time limit. We all turned in our canvases for inspection (检查). The next day, the winners of the competition were announced in front of the whole school. To my surprise, I heard my name being called second prize. It was a bolt (闪电) from the blue for me, as I had never dared to dream of winning any prize. Later on, I expressed my gratitude to my art teacher for her words of encouragement and for believing in me. That day, I became aware of my talent and started painting more whenever I had free time. Sometimes, I think that if it weren’t for her words of encouragement, I may have never discovered the talent I have. Overall, this experience taught me the importance of encouraging others and how a few kind words can make a significant impact on someone’s life. 24. What was the author doing before her name was called? A. Drawing a picture with her classmates. B. Being buried in her imagination. C. Taking part in an important English test. D.

A. What An Unique Creative Ability B. The Importance of Creative Thoughts C. The Impact of Encouraging Words D. The Way to Discover Your Talents C More than 10 million Chinese cultural relics have been lost overseas, most of which were stolen and illegally shipped out (运出) of China during the times of war before 1949. About 1.67 million pieces are housed in more than 200 museums in 47 countries, which accounts for 10 percent of all lost Chinese cultural relics, and the rest are in the hands of private collectors. Most of these treasures are owned by museums or private collectors in the United States, Europe, Japan and Southeast Asian countries. There are more than 23, 000 pieces in the British Museum, most of which were stolen or bought for pennies more than 100 years ago. The major method to recover these national treasures was to buy them back. In some cases, private collectors donated the relics to the government. Also the government can turn to official channels (渠道) to demand the return of relics. In 2003, a priceless Bronze (青铜) Pig’s Head dating from the Qing Dynasty was returned to its home in Beijing after it was removed by the Anglo-French Allied Army over 140 years ago. Macao entrepreneur (企业家) Stanley Ho donated 6 million yuan to buy it back from a US art collector and then donated it to the Poly Art Museum in Beijing. Although buying-back is the most possible way to recover the lost treasures, limited funding is always a big headache. In recent years, the Chinese government has improved efforts to recover the precious cultural relics lost overseas. It has started a national project on the recovery of the treasures and has set up a database collecting relevant information. It has signed several international agreements with many countries on this matter, and is also looking for international cooperation to recover the relics by working closely with several international organizations. 28. What can be inferred from paragraph 1? A. We need to forcefully demand the return of lost cultural relics. B. Private collectors made a fortune by selling cultural relics. C. The war caused a serious loss of Chinese cultural relics. D. Countries of the world prefer Chinese cultural relics. 29. How the Bronze Pig’s Head returned to the motherland? A. Purchase through our government. B. Donate through Stanley Ho. C. Return through foreign governments. D. Recover through scientists. 30. What efforts have the Chinese government made to recover lost cultural relics? ①Set up a national project to recover. ②Found a database to collect information. ③Sign several international agreements. ④Establish several international organizations. A. ①②③ B. ①②④ C. ②③④ D. ①②③④ 31. Which will be talked about in the following paragraph? A. The cultural relics to be brought back to China. B. Some funds raised by the Chinese government. C. The problems challenging the Chinese government. D. Some examples of international cooperation. D Years ago, many Mexican gray wolves lived in the United States. In the 1800s, cattle farmers were worried that these wolves would hunt and eat their farm animals. During the 1800s and 1900s, farmers killed many of these wolves to try to protect their animals. These wolves almost went extinct. In 1976, the U. S. government passed the Endangered Species Act. These wolves were finally protected! And with help, the species continues to survive today. The White Mountain Apache Tribe (部落) has played an important role in keeping this species alive. They live on a large area of land in Arizona called the Fort Apache Indian Reservation. This area is also a wolf habitat. Krista Beazley is a wolf biologist on the Fort Apache Indian Reservation. She tracks the movements of Mexican gray wolves that live on the land. Scientists have put special radio collars on wolves. These collars send out beeping（蜂鸣）signals to a special hand-held antenna (手持天线). Biologists like Beazley use these antennas to track the wolves. She also follows their footprints and droppings. Wolf droppings tell biologists what the wolf ate，where it spends much of its time, and if it is sick. Beazley makes sure the wolves are alive and healthy. The number of Mexican gray wolves living on the Fort Apache Indian Reservation is growing. Despite this remarkable progress, the species is still endangered. The White Mountain Apache Tribe continues to try to protect these wolves. The White Mountain Apache Tribe also works to protect many other rare plant and animal species. For example, they saved the Apache trout from extinction by closing certain areas to fishing and by building trout habitats. They also protect habitats for animals like the Mexican spotted owl. The White Mountain Apache Tribe has a close connection with all of nature. Tribe members believe humans must honor the animals and nature around them. 32. Why did American farmers kill Mexican gray wolves during the 1800s and 1900s? A. To protect their territorial integrity. B. To preserve their farm animals. C. To contribute to the pass of an act. D. To sell the wolves for a fortune. 33. What is the function of the special radio collars on wolves? A. Transmitting signals. B. Tracking their footprints. C. Ensuring their safety. D. Identifying them clearly. 34. What can we know about the underlined word “trout”? A. A kind of plant. B. A kind of bird. C. A kind of fish. D. A kind of wolf. 35. What is the attitude of the White Mountain Apache Tribe towards nature? A. People should stop the economy from developing. B. Our nature provides us with a good habitat to live in. C. Every species should have its living environment. D. It is everyone’s duty to respect and protect nature. 第二节（共5个小题；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。 Forgiveness is often defined as a deliberate decision to let go of feelings of anger toward someone who you believe has wronged you. 36 .

Andy and his brother Berlin were filled with excitement as they thought of visiting their grandparents again. ( 1 ) The big day came at last. After the happy family got ready, they set out for the grandparents' eagerly. On the way, the brothers were excitedly talking about the fun they had with grandparents. A little blue house with a tall white chimney finally appeared. Behind the house was the forest carrying their good memories with Grandpa. They arrived at the driveway, at the end of which Grandma was waiting for them joyfully. Andy and Berlin each gave Grandma a big hug and then swept to the living room, shouting excitedly, “Grandpa, we are back!" Seeing his grandsons, Grandpa was wild with joy and tried to get up with all his strength from the chair but in vain. A helpless expression flashed on his face. Grandma explained that his health was declining rapidly and maybe couldn't stand up on his own forever. But Grandpa declared stubbornly（倔强地），“I can！”Certainly, he was stuck in his boyish way. Mum and grandparents were happy to meet again after a long time. They sat together and chatted about what happened recently. The brothers were soon bored with adult conversation, went out and wandered into the forest. Tall trees stretched up to the heavens with large branches crossing each other, while young ones rose straight like soldiers. Grandpa was once an intelligent explorer. He could tell where the birds came from only by their calls and songs. The trees, birds, lizards, lots of bugs...How many merry moments they spent with Grandpa in the kingdom! But now Grandpa couldn't get up. This made them worried. "We'd think out a way to cheer him up,” Andy said. "Grandpa is a bird lover, and we can catch him a bird," Berlin suggested. “But he hates birds being caged!" Andy shook his head. Then a bright idea came into Andy's mind, “Why not make a cane（拐杖） out of a young tree!＂注意：续写词数应为150个左右。 Berlin thought it was a good idea. Andy and Berlin handed the cane to Grandpa.
