Teenagers now face many risks in online chatting, like being tricked into revealing personal information or meeting bad people. Here are some tips for you. First, never share your address, phone number or other private details with online strangers. Second, refuse any request to meet them in person. Besides, if you meet offensive words or fraud, stop chatting and report it at once. Hope these suggestions can help you. Yours, Li Hua 第二节 读后续写 We started to meet regularly to draw up our plans. I tried my best to keep up with his pace, collecting data from teens around us and sorting out the survey results carefully. He was strict with every detail but never refused my reasonable suggestions. Gradually, he began to talk with me actively and even praised my carefulness. We divided the work fairly and our project went on smoothly, making me realize he was just serious rather than cold. One day I got word that he was admitted to hospital for a serious disease. I was worried and visited him at once, bringing our unfinished project materials. Seeing him lying in bed weakly, I told him I would finish the rest of the work well. He smiled and thanked me, handing me his research notes. With our joint efforts, the project won high praise from Dr. Henderson. We became good friends later, and I learned that never judge a person by his appearance. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 陕西师大附中2024-2025学年度第一学期 高三年级期中考试英语试题 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。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.What seems to be the womanˈs problem?

Hereˈs our pick of the best holiday destinations in November. Vatnajökull, Iceland Icelandˈs name becomes increasingly accurate in November, as sub-zero temperatures arrive more frequently. This is the best time for tourists to enter into the heavenly world of ice caves — more accurately, glacier caves — as these changing holes need to be safely frozen before they can be explored. Lanzarote, Canary Islands Lanzarote provides an amazing break in November. The first week aside, there are few school holidays this month — a bonus for peace-seekers. With gardens designed by the famous Lanzarote architect César Manrique, Meliá Salinas is a big-name resort (度假胜地) with local style, set between two beaches. Jackson Hole, Wyoming During the winter, Jackson Hole is a wonderland of snow skiing, snowmobiling and ice-skating. If youˈre looking for some fast-paced family fun, try the Alpine Slide, where you can slide down 2,500 feet of Snow King Mountain in a bobsled (雪车). No matter when youˈre planning your trip, you should book early. Vancouver Island, Canada Part of British Columbia, Vancouver Island was originally the land of the Kwakwakaˈwakw, Nuu-chah-nulth and Coast Salish peoples. Today, the island is valuing the original cultures more and more. Planning means you can take your time seeking out activities that celebrate native peopleˈs culture. Remember that you must order the ferries (渡船) from the mainland ahead of time. 21.Where would tourists preferring quiet destinations like to go? A. Vatnajökull. B. Lanzarote. C. Jackson Hole. D. Vancouver Island. 22.What do the last two destinations have in common? A. They need reservations. B. They have colourful cultures. C. They are famous for snow sports. D. They are suitable for all the family. 23.Where is the text most probably taken from? A. A coursebook. B. A survey report. C. A guidebook. D. A geographical paper. B Ever wonder what happens to spacecraft after they get launched to space? Well, that is where my job as a Mission Operations Engineer comes in. My job consists of planning, generating, and operating scientific instruments in-flight. I am grateful for having worked on missions at Saturn, the Moon, and our own planet Earth. When I was a high-schooler, I was unsure of what college I wanted to attend, or what major I ultimately wanted to choose. After receiving an email from a college called Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), I decided to apply to a summer program they were offering will the encouragement of my mom. After participating in that program, I knew that MIT was the right university for me. The passionate students and boundless opportunities developed a feeling of belonging in me that led me to apply and eventually get accepted. The most exciting and fulfilling part of being an engineer is that I am able to work on projects that benefit humanity. When people think of the space industry, they picture the outer reaches of our solar system. What they may not imagine is the great body of work being done to study our own home — Earth. I am thankful to have a career that allows me to commit myself to that responsibility. The highlight of my career has been witnessing the end of the Cassini mission to Saturn. Some of the people on the team had been working on the mission for longer than I had been alive, but they still treated me as one of their own. I was given the opportunity to operate the cameras that would catch breathtaking images of the planet. And when the Cassini spacecraft had run out of fuel, I quickly learned that it was not just the end of the mission, but the end of a team. The night we watched with bittersweet longing as its signal faded to nothing is something that I will always keep in my memories. And while Cassini will be remembered for its historic contributions, what I will remember it for is the team it brought together. My friends often ask why a girl could achieve all these. I always grew up a big fan of fiction.1 read the Harry Potter books and loved anything fantasy. I realized that a common theme of hero stories is that the hero must always make a choice to start their adventure. If you donˈt pick up the sword in your own story because you are afraid of what may happen next, you risk not having a story at all. 24.Why did the author apply to MIT? A. The majors in MIT interested her. B. Her mother urged her to go to MIT. C. She set this goal as a high-schooler. D. A summer program made her love MIT. 25.What does the author think about her occupation? A. Her job can be finished easily. B. Itˈs hard for a girl to have such a career. C. She is proud to work for human well-being. D. The Harry Potter books contribute to her work. 26. What does the author value most in the Cassini mission? A. Its historic contributions. B. Breathtaking images of the planet. C. The teammates that work alongside. D. The opportunity to operate the cameras. 27.What can we learn from the story? A. Practice makes perfect. B. No way is impossible to courage. C. Well begun is half done. D. Time lost cannot be won again. C If you were like most children,you probably got upset when your mother called you by a brother's or sister's name.How could she not know you？Did it mean she loved you less？ Probably not.According to the first research to deal with this topic head-on,misnaming the most familiar people in our life is a common cognitive （认知的） error that has to do with how our memories classify and store familiar names. The study,published online in April in the journal Memory and Cognition,found that the "wrong" name is not random but is always fished out from the same relationship pond：children,friends,brothers and sisters.The study did not examine the possibility of deep psychological significance to the mistake,says psychologist David Rubin, "but it does tell us who's in and who's out of the group." The study also found that within that group,misnamings occurred where the names shared initial or internal sounds,like Jimmy and Joanie or John and Bob.Physical resemblance between people was not a factor.Nor was gender. The researchers conducted five separate surveys of more than 1，700 people.Some of the surveys included only college students；others were done with a mixed-age population.Some asked subjects about incidents where someone close to them – family or friend – had called them by another person's name.The other surveys asked about times when subjects had themselves called someone close to them by the wrong name.All the surveys found that people mixed up names within relationship groups such as grandchildren,friends and brothers and sisters but hardly ever crossed these boundaries. In general,the study found that undergraduates were almost as likely as old people to make this mistake and men as likely as women.Older people and women made the mistake slightly more often,but that may be because grandparents have more grandchildren to mix up than parents have children.Also,mothers may call on their children more often than fathers,given traditional gender norms.There was no evidence that errors occurred more when the misnamer was frustrated,tired or angry. 28. How might people often feel when they were misnamed？ ______ A. Unwanted. B. Unhappy. C. Confused. D. Indifferent. 29. What did David Rubin's research find about misnaming？ ______ A. It is related to the way our memories work. B. It is a possible indicator of a faulty memory. C. It occurs mostly between kids and their friends. D. It often causes misunderstandings among people. 30. What did the surveys of more than 1，700 subjects find about misnaming？ ______ A. It more often than not hurts relationships. B. It hardly occurs across gender boundaries. C. It is most frequently found in extended families. D. It most often occurs within a relationship group. 31. Why do mothers misname their children more often than fathers？ ______ A. They suffer more frustrations. B. They become worn out more often. C. They communicate more with their children. D. They generally take on more work at home. D Is modern fruit cultivated (培育) to be sweeter than in the past? The short answer is yes, though the longer answer is more complicated. Some of the most powerful evidence that fruit is sweeter than before comes from zoos. In 2018, it was reported that Melbourne Zoo in Australia had stopped giving fruit to most of its animals because cultivated fruit was now so sweet that it was causing tooth decay (蛀牙) and weight gain. The monkeys at the zoo were provided with a lower-sugar vegetable-based diet instead of bananas. Among fruit cultivators, the word "quality" is now routinely used as an equal for "high in sugar" (though firmness, color and size are also considerations). In 2010, in an article looking at ways to enhance the sweetness of fruit using "molecular (分子的) approaches", a group of plant scientists of the Republic of Korea wrote that "in general, the sugar content" of many fruits is now higher than before "owing to continuous selection and breeding". Modern apple varieties, the scientists noted, were on average sweeter than older ones. Cultivation isnˈt the only reason that modern fruit is sweeter; thereˈs also climate change. Research from Japan found that since the 1970s, with rising temperatures, Fuji apples (which were already a sweet variety) have become significantly sweeter and softer. The lead researcher, Toshihoko Sugiura, said that "if you could taste an apple harvested 30 years ago, you would feel the difference". It is sometimes claimed that the sweetness of modern fruit is not due to higher sugar content so much as the fact that the bitterness and sourness of wild fruit have been steadily cultivated out of it. Thereˈs a grain — but only a grain — of truth in this. Studies of wild apples do indeed suggest that some ancient varieties were just as high in sugar as a modern Pink Lady or Honeycrisp. The difference is that there was much wider variation in sugar content across wild apples, whereas the modern supermarket apple seldom drops below a certain level of sweetness. 32.Why did Melbourne Zoo stop giving fruit to most of its animals? A. The animals preferred a vegetable-based diet. B. Modern fruit did great harm to animalsˈ teeth. C. The sugar content of modern fruit is lower than before. D. The flavor of modern fruit was not good for the animals. 33.What can we learn from paragraph 3? A. The sugar content is breedersˈ first priority. B. Sweeter fruits are just a result of natural selection. C. The sweetness of modern apples is equal to the average of older ones. D. Molecular approaches are adopted to add the sweetness of modern fruit. 34.What do studies of wild apples in the last paragraph suggest? A. Apples of old species tasted less sweet. B. The sugar content of wild apples varied greatly. C. The sweetness of modern apples is of the same level. D. Fruit is sweet because bitterness in it has disappeared. 35.Whatˈs the best title for this passage? A. Modern or Old: Which Is Better? B. Modern Fruit: Sweetness Is Quality. C. Fruit Is Sweeter: Itˈs Not a Misconception. D. Melbourne Zoo; Animals Stop Eating Fruits. 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。 When you get in a car, you expect it will have functioning brakes. When you pick up medicine at the drugstore, you expect it wonˈt be polluted. But it wasnˈt always like this. The safety of these products was terrible when they first came to market. It took much research and regulation to figure out how users can enjoy the benefits of these products without getting harmed.      36      Social media risks are everywhere. The dangers that algorithms designed to maximize attention represent to teens have become impossible to ignore. Other product design elements, often called "dark patterns", designed to keep people using for longer, also appear to tip young users into social media overuse.      37      They say itˈs their usersˈ fault for engaging with harmful content in the first place, even if those users are children or the content is financial trickery. They also claim to be defending free speech.      38      Under the Digital Services Act, which came into effect in Europe this year, platforms are required to take action to stop the spread of illegal content and can be fined up to 6 percent of their global incomes if they donˈt do so. If this law is enforced, maintaining the safety of their algorithms and networks will be the most financially sound decision for platforms to make. Despite these efforts, two things are clear. First, online safety problems are leading to real, offline suffering. Second, social media companies canˈt, or wonˈt, solve these safety problems on their own.      39      Even safety issues like cyberbullying that we thought were solved can pop right back up. As our society moves online to an ever- greater degree, the idea that anyone, even teens, can just "stay off social media" becomes less and less realistic.      40      A．And those problems arenˈt going away. B．The current issues arenˈt really about offline suffering. C．Platforms already have systems to remove violent or harmful content. D．Similarly, social media needs product safety standards to keep users safe. E．Itˈs time we should require social media to take safety seriously, for everyoneˈs sake. F．Internet platforms, however, have shifted blame on the consumers whenever criticized. G．Some authorities are taking steps to hold social media platforms accountable for the content. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 In a remote village lived an elderly woman named Amelia.

S. and Korean films and TV shows. By the end of 2022, more than 16,000 Chinese online works of literature 57 (export) abroad, including over 6,400 physical book authorizations and over 9,600 58 (translate) online works.

Above all, I hoped he wouldnˈt assign me to work with the fiercely competitive, extremely serious fellow who always wore dark clothes and apparently had a personality to match. As fate(命运)would have it, Dr. Henderson very deliberately matched everyone in class and announced that I would be working with the one person in class I wanted to avoid. I went up to my new teammate and introduced myself. He looked at me as though I werenˈt there. I felt he treated me as though I would hold him back and probably make him fail to get an A in the course. He wasnˈt mean or abusive; he just gave me the impression he could do whatever project we dreamed up better if he did it alone. Needless to say, I didnˈt look forward to an entire term of being brushed off, but I tried to make the best of it and didnˈt say anything for fear that I would make things worse. The project required each team to develop a hypothesis（假说）, set up an experiment to test the hypothesis, do the statistical analysis and present the findings. Whatever grade the team received would be shared by both students. When my teammate and I met to discuss our project, I was uneasy. Here was this challenging student who had a reputation for single-mindedness and good grades—the exact opposite of me. I was outmatched. I actually wanted to drop the class at one point, but stopped short because I didnˈt want to give him the satisfaction of my chickening out. I decided to stick to it no matter what. After long discussions we somehow agreed to do a study on the psychological well-being of teenagers. I wasnˈt sure what it meant exactly, but at least we had a topic. 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。 We started to meet regularly to draw up our plans. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ One day I got word that he was admitted to hospital for a serious disease._______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
