B In 1967, Kathrine Switzer made history by becoming the first woman to run the Boston Marathon with an official race number, despite the efforts of the race director to remove her from the course. Switzer became a pioneer for women’s sports, a journalist, an author, and a TV commentator. She won the 1974 New York City Marathon and led the effort to include the women’s marathon as an Olympic event. Born on January 5, 1947, in Germany, Switzer moved to the United States in 1949 and grew up in Virginia, where she discovered sports as a teenager. She took up running seriously while attending the University of Lynchburg and then moved to Syracuse University, where she trained with the men’s cross- country team. During this time, Switzer decided to run the Boston Marathon. Switzer wore bib (号码布) number 261 on April 19, 1967, the snowy day she changed the face of women’s athletics. Around four miles into the race, race director John Semple attempted to remove this 20-year-old journalism student, shouting, “Get out of my race!” Thankfully, her boyfriend, Tom Miller, blocked him, allowing Switzer to finish the race. This drove her to become a champion for women’s athletics. In 2015, Switzer launched a global non- profit called 261 Fearless with an ambassador program, a club training system, and events. 261 Fearless uses running as a means to empower women to overcome life challenges and practice healthy living. For the 2017 Boston Marathon — her ninth time running the race, and the 50th anniversary (周年) of her first time — she was leading a team of runners from 261 Fearless. Rather than being the only woman officially in the race like in 1967, she was joined by over 13, 700 women- almost half of the total runners. A celebrated author and commentator, Switzer has received numerous honors for her contributions to sports and continues to inspire generations of female athletes. 4. What historic first did Kathrine Switzer achieve in 1967? A. The first woman to run the Boston Marathon officially. B. The first woman to react against the race director. C The first woman to join the men’s running team. D. The first woman to compete in the Olympics. 5. Why did Switzer’s boyfriend step in during the 1967 Boston Marathon? A. To run alongside her. B. To block the journalists. C. To support her as a coach. D. To stop her from being removed. 6. What does 261 Fearless aim to do? A. To promote men’s sports. B. To raise funds for charities. C. To organize competitive races. D. To inspire women through sports. 7. What does Switzer’s 2017 Boston Marathon run show? A. The spirit of teamwork in marathons. B. Her commitment to charity promotion. C. The growing recognition of women in athletics. D. Her renewed focus on personal achievement. C Giving has many benefits, but it isn’t always easy. For example, if you suffer from depression (抑郁), you may find it hard to get up in the morning, let alone help others. But new research by Shenzhen and Peking Universities finds there may be a clever way to give. In the study, researchers arranged hundreds of young, depressed adults to either make daily micro-donations for two months or to be on a waiting list. Told that giving small donations helps improve society, participants were invited to donate at least one cent per day for the next two months to any charity. Before and every week during those two months, all participants filled out questionnaires that were about their possible depression-related aspects: depressed feelings, lack of joy, physical discomforts, sleepiness, and interpersonal problems, as well as how often they felt positive and negative feelings. After analyzing the results, the researchers found people who donated daily, even as little as one cent a day, felt significantly more positive than people on the waiting list. This, in turn, seemed to explain why they also felt less depressed each week. In other words, making donations, even small ones, helps improve mood (心情). And, though social connection wasn’t necessary for deriving benefit, the study suggests donating could help depressed people who might otherwise refuse to practice kindness toward others, according to Jinting Liu, one of the study’s coauthors. Liu suggests this could be due to the fact that if you tend to feel depressed, focusing on others for a while gives you a break from thinking about yourself and your shortcomings. It’s also possible that giving makes you feel better about yourself and that prevents the negative self-talk common to depressives. Interestingly, although people who gave more generously felt a bit happier and less depressed than those who gave less, the difference wasn’t big enough to be significant. This means even people with low means can make use of this simple activity. “Just doing something nice for others is great,” says Liu. “The amount of money isn’t the key part; it’s really about the kindness behind it.” 8. What information did the researchers collect about all participants? A. Their levels of depressive signs. B. Their willingness to donate. C. The quality of their social life. D. The frequency of their sleepiness. 9. What does the underlined word “deriving” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Using. B. Reducing. C. Doubting. D. Getting. 10. Why might giving help depressed individuals? A. It ensures comfortable talks. B. It reduces self-focus time. C. It encourages physical activity. D. It improves interpersonal relationships. 11. What can be learned according to the study? A. Giving is difficult to practice. B. Money amount determines results. C. Tiny kindnesses remain helpful. D. Generosity is the key source of joy. D It can be fun to hear a catchy tune (曲调) in your head — until that tune begins to play over and over again! Songs that get stuck in our brain are called earworms. An earworm can stay in your head after you listen to the tune play out loud. But it can also occur if something makes you remember the song — like visiting the place where you first heard it. Scientists have studied earworms for years. They have found that some tunes are more likely to stay in your head than others. For example, earworms are often faster, have an easy-to-remember melody (旋律), and have special changes in pitch (音高). By examining brain scans, scientists have learned what happens in your head when you have an earworm. When you hear music—or even imagine hearing it—part of the brain called the auditory cortex (听觉皮层) becomes active. This part processes sounds and sends messages to other parts of the brain connected to memory and feelings. Some scientists think your brain can keep sending these signals for a short time, which causes the song to repeat in your mind. What would cause the human brain to repeat the same song in the first place? Scientists are still not sure. But long ago, before writing was invented, we passed information through songs. So, we may have developed a habit of keeping music in our heads to help remember important information. Whatever the reason, when a tune gets stuck, it can be really annoying! Luckily, there may be ways to get rid of an earworm. You can listen to another song or do a puzzle to stop yourself from concentrating on it. Or try chewing gum, which affects how your brain remembers music. Even if you do nothing, a stuck song will eventually go away on its own. Now, that must be music to your ears! 12. What is an “earworm” according to the text? A. A real insect that lives in human ears. B. A tool scientists use to study memory. C. A type of brain disease affecting the auditory cortex. D. A song that repeats uncontrollably in one’s mind. 13. What feature makes a tune more likely become an earworm? A. It is slow and quiet. B. It is fast with catchy tunes. C. It has no melody. D. It is very long. 14. According to the text, how can we free ourselves from an earworm? A. By listening to the same song repeatedly. B. By keeping away from all kinds of music. C. By doing activities that take our attention away. D. By visiting the place where we first heard it. 15. What is your understanding of the last sentence? A. It’s good news. B. It’s hard to believe. C. It’s an alarming fact. D. It’s an annoying message. 第二节(共5小题;每小题3分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从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。 Our friends Nick and Carol moved to Australia in 2017.

He had a book in his hand, with tears in his eyes. “We have all got a poem to learn,” said the boy, whose name was Tom Blair, “and the one who says it best is to get a prize from the teacher. But I don’t think I can learn it.” “Why not?” said Grandma. “The boys say that I can’t and that I need not try,” said Tom in a sad tone. “Don’t mind what the boys say. Let them see that you can learn it,” said his friend. “But I don’t think I can,” said Tom, “it is so long, and some of the words are so hard. But I would like to learn the poem as well as I can; for the boys laugh at me, and call me ‘Slow Tom’.” “Well, dear,” said Grandma, in a kind voice, “if you are slow, and can’t help it, try to be ‘slow and sure’. Look at the snail (蜗牛) on the wall; how slow it is! And yet, if you watch it, you will see it will get to the top in time. So just try to learn a few lines each day, and you may gain the prize in the end. And when you feel like losing heart, think of the snail on the wall.” After Grandma had said this, she went on her way. And Tom thought that, though he could not keep up with the boys, he might run a race with the snail. So he determined to try to learn his task by the time the snail got to the top of the wall. At last, the day came. After the teacher called upon five or six boys to repeat the poem, it came to Tom’s turn. Regardless of the unfriendly whispers and giggles (咯咯地笑) among the boys, Tom closed his eyes and started to recite the poem, slow and sure, with a powerful voice. Everyone was astonished at the fluency with which he spoke. The moment he finished, a shower of applause exploded. “Well done! Tom! Well done! Tell me how you made it!” said the teacher with great joy. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 惠州市华罗庚中学2025-2026学年第一学期10月质量检测 英语试题 考试时间：120分钟 满分：130分 第一部分 阅读(共两节，满分60分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题3分，满分45分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A 【1~3题答案】 【答案】1.
