During this time, she was enrolled in school for education and was currently uninsured due to the expense. She planned to save money so she could get on her husband' s insurance and then seek medical treatment for the cancer. Her friends and family didn't want her to postpone her treatment due to the expense. They took matters into their own hands and started a GoFundMe campaign. The friend came up with the creative idea to spread the word and invite family, friends, and strangers who wanted to help to participate in a donation flash mob (快闪行动).The event started an outpouring of enormous generosity from the local community. Amanda and her husband Clint teared up as the crowd passed by and the donations poured in. The generous act of kindness gave the family a comforting, and optimistic feeling during a time when all hope seemed lost. Clint said that Amanda struggled with the idea of asking for help. She felt guilty and undeserving compared to others who are also struggling. In the time since, Amanda has enrolled in an insurance plan and has finished chemotherapy. Life for the family has started getting back to their normal routine. Once Amanda got her strength back, she returned to school and completed her bachelor's degree in education. She is now a teacher. She said the experience motivated her to instill (灌输) the value of charity in her children. The family is now inspired to volunteer in their local neighborhood and contribute to crowdfunding (众筹) efforts. They are grateful for the opportunity to give back and help others as many have helped them. The couple said they feel blessed by the strong support. PassItOn wants to celebrate those heroes during the family's darkest time. These individuals perfectly demonstrate the value of community. It is with the help of their generosity that the family is now happy, healthy and whole. 4. Why did Amanda Kofoeds postpone her treatment? A. She was admitted to a school. B.

They have incredible voices and spirit that amaze the audience everywhere they go! And they go to a lot of places, all around the world. And not only do they travel a lot, but they perform with some superstar singers and celebrities for heads of state. But this is not what makes the choir so special. Like New York’s PS22, they do not just sing, but truly put their hearts, souls and bodies into their words. But what is unique about the choir is that it offers hope, education and confidence to children who live in extreme poverty. For example, the kids in the choir are mostly from the poorest countries in the world. Many children live in one-room homes and walk more than 2 miles to get water for their family. Most of the children have lost one or both of their parents because of wars or diseases. Through its music and education, the African Children’s Choir changes the lives of its children. It allows them to see the world. It gives them hope and confidence. It shows them that everything is possible. The choir even pays for their education through college. In 30 years, it has educated and changed the lives of over 50, 000 children. And, in turn, the children return to their hometowns with new thoughts and new skills to help improve their family and community. These children are truly helping to build a better Africa. 8. What is special about the choir? A. Its positive influence on poor children. B. Performing together with famous people. C. Its members truly putting their hearts into words. D. Its members focusing on singing beautiful songs. 9. What can we learn about the members of the African Children’s Choir? A. They have no parent. B. They are all ten years old. C. Many of them live a hard life. D. Some of them come from PS22. 10. What can we learn from paragraph 4? A. The African Children’s Choir makes a lot of money. B. The African Children’s Choir has become very popular. C. The African Children’s Choir is very helpful to its members. D. The African Children’s Choir helps 50,000 children go to college. 11.

Many children live in one-room homes and walk more than 2 miles to get water for their family. Most of the children have lost one or both of their parents because of wars or diseases.(例如，合唱团的孩子们大多来自世界上最贫穷的国家。许多孩子住在单间房屋里，要步行两英里多为家人取水。大多数孩子因战争或疾病失去了单亲或双亲)”可知，合唱团的许多成员过着艰苦的生活。故选C项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据原文第四段“Through its music and education, the African Children’s Choir changes the lives of its children. It allows them to see the world. It gives them hope and confidence. It shows them that everything is possible. The choir even pays for their education through college.(通过音乐和教育，非洲儿童合唱团改变了孩子们的生活。它让他们看到世界，给予他们希望和信心，让他们明白一切皆有可能。合唱团甚至为他们支付大学教育费用)”可知，非洲儿童合唱团通过音乐和教育改变了孩子们的生活，让他们看到世界，给予他们希望和信心，让他们明白一切皆有可能，可推理出非洲儿童合唱团对其成员非常有帮助。故选C项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题题。根据第一段“The African Children’s Choir (合唱团) is made up of children who are 7 to 10 years old from Africa. They have incredible voices and spirit that amaze the audience everywhere they go!( 非洲儿童合唱团由来自非洲、年龄在7至10岁的孩子们组成。他们拥有令人惊叹的嗓音与精神风貌，所到之处总能让观众为之震撼)”、第三段“But what is unique about the choir is that it offers hope, education and confidence to children who live in extreme poverty.(但这个合唱团的独特之处在于，它为生活在极端贫困中的孩子们提供了希望、教育和信心)”等内容可知，文章介绍了非洲儿童合唱团的成员构成和特点，说明其演出经历，介绍了其独特之处，最后讲述合唱团对孩子们的积极影响。由此可推理出，本文的写作目的是介绍一个特别的合唱团。故选C项。 D Virtue, by definition, is the moral excellence of a person. Morally excellent people have a character made up of virtues valued as good. They are honest, respectful, courageous, forgiving and kind, for example. They do the right thing, and don't bend to impulses, urges or desires, but act according to values and principles. Some might say good qualities are inborn. Actually, virtues need to be cultivated. With the habit of being virtuous, we can take control of our lives and move them in the direction of greater happiness and fulfillment. Virtues are universal and recognized by all cultures as basic qualities of well-being. However, practicing virtues is not easy. So often we know that it takes perseverance to reach our goals, and we still never get there. We know if we forgive, we'll be less angry. We know it takes courage to accomplish great things. So why then, if we know what to do, are we still stuck? Because we have not yet consciously applied a virtue to a given situation so as to change its outcome such as in these examples: kindness towards someone who is having a bad day can make him or her smile and build rapport; trust in a relationship creates valuable, meaningful relationships; gratitude in a job loss can shift our focus from feeling low to how we can have a new, more fulfilling career; service to others can change lives, better neighborhoods and create stronger nations. We know we are becoming more virtuous people, not only because of the results above but also because of the way other people respond to us. Our friends, families, co-workers, and neighbors will trust and rely on us. They will come to us for guidance and help. They will want to be around us because we inspire them to be better people. Practicing virtues allows us to develop our potential, and live a more purposeful, better life. 12. What can we know about virtuous people from the first paragraph? A. They are born with virtue. B. They never make a mistake. C. They have a habit of doing good. D. They act on the principle of profit. 13. What is the second paragraph mainly about? A. Satisfying career. B. Practicing virtues. C. Trust in a relationship. D. Basic qualities of well-being. 14. What does the underlined word “rapport” mean in the third paragraph? A. A good greeting. B. A great atmosphere. C. A good goodbye. D. A close relationship. 15. What is the author's purpose in the last paragraph? A. To encourage readers to be more virtuous. B. To encourage readers to live a purposeful life. C. To encourage readers to offer others guidance. D. To encourage readers to develop others' potential. 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. D 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是议论文。文章主要论述了践行美德能让我们开发自己的潜能，过上更有目标、更美好的生活。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“With the habit of being virtuous, we can take control of our lives and move them in the direction of greater happiness and fulfillment.(有了行善的习惯，我们就能控制自己的生活，让它们朝着更大的幸福和满足的方向前进)”可知，具有美德的人有行善的习惯。故选C项。 【13题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段中的“However, practicing virtues is not easy.(然而，实践美德并不容易)”和 “So why then, if we know what to do, are we still stuck?(那么，既然我们知道该怎么做，为什么我们仍然被困住了呢?)”可知，本段主要讲的是“践行美德并非易事”，故选B项。 【14题详解】 词义猜测题。根据画线词前面的“kindness towards someone who is having a bad day(对那些心情不好的人施以善意)”以及后面的“trust in a relationship creates valuable, meaningful relationships(在一段关系中，信任能创造出有价值、有意义的关系)”可知，此处是指，对那些心情不好的人施以善意，可以让他或她微笑从而建立“融洽的关系”符合语境，所以画线词是“融洽关系”的意思。故选D项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一句“Practicing virtues allows us to develop our potential, and live a more purposeful，better life.(践行美德可以让我们发挥潜能，过上更有目标、更美好的生活)”可推断出，最后一段作者的目的是鼓励人们践行美德。故选A项。 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 You may see many people on their yearly camping trips, going into nature to seek a connection with something greater than themselves.

I was excited to be in Group Spain. The group leader, Stan, designed a sign-up sheet for different tasks. There was a cooking task. I could do far better in cooking. So, I chose to cook Spanish dishes on the very day of the fair. Yet, the first few weeks slipped away quickly, and no one seemed to be starting their jobs — probably because they were tired by their studies, or they were simply not in the mood. I was worried that we might present a bad Spain because of our slow progress. After telling other members in Group Spain about my worries and encouraging them to make preparations, we finally started the preparation work. When we made preparations for the fair, I received a message from Stan. “How many cups of drink do you plan to prepare?” he asked. Maybe forty? I wasn’t sure. I asked the group members in charge of the planning about the number of people who would be at the fair, but they said they didn’t know. Out of other solutions, I answered Stan with my count and explained that I might need to confirm (确定) with the organizer of the fair to know the exact number. Then one day later, another demand came, “By the way, can you tell me the price for the food?” Sending him the rough price of the food, I frowned. This was supposed to be the task of others. Why did I have to do it? Again, for the progress of our group, I did not think much. Then came the third, “I mean I need specific numbers, the Unit price for each, and the total cost. Make a table and list all the things, will you?” Before I could do the market research for him, the fourth appeared. I tried to hold my manner as I felt rather dissatisfied when I realized that he was assigning (分派) others’ jobs to me. “That’s it. Enough is enough,” I said to myself. 注意：续写词数应为150左右。 Having carefully chosen language, I went forward. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After hearing all those words, Stan said he understood my point and admitted his mistakes. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Having carefully chosen language, I went forward. With a firm but polite look, I found Stan and expressed my thoughts calmly. I told him that I was willing to take responsibility for cooking, but it was unfair to keep pushing extra work onto me. My voice trembled slightly with anxiety and annoyance, for I feared our group would fall into chaos if duties were not divided properly. I also mentioned that every member should do their own job instead of leaving everything to one person, hoping he could arrange tasks reasonably. After hearing all those words, Stan said he understood my point and admitted his mistakes. He scratched his head in embarrassment and apologized sincerely for his thoughtlessness. He immediately rearranged the tasks, making sure everyone had clear duties. Relieved and grateful, I smiled and shook hands with him. Finally, we worked together efficiently and our Spanish food stand turned out to be a great success at the fair, filling our hearts with pride and joy. 【解析】 【导语】本文以学校美食节为背景，讲述了“我”作为西班牙小组的成员，原本选择烹饪任务，却因组内进度缓慢和组长斯坦不断分派他人任务给“我”而感到焦虑和不满。随着斯坦接连提出关于饮品数量、食物价格及具体清单等额外要求，“我”意识到任务分配不公，最终决定向斯坦表达自己的想法并希望他能合理分配任务。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我仔细斟酌了措辞后，走了过去。”可知，第一段可描写我向斯坦表达自己的想法，告诉他不应该把额外的工作一直推给我，并希望他可以合理分配任务。 ②由第二段首句内容“听了我的话后，斯坦说他理解我的意思，并承认了自己的错误。”可知，第二段可描写斯坦重新安排任务，最终我们的小组在美食节上取得了成功。 2.续写线索：找到斯坦——表达想法——斯坦理解并道歉——重新安排任务——取得成功 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①表达：express/convey ②颤抖：tremble/shiver ③道歉：apologize/make an apology 情绪类 ①冷静地：calmly/dispassionately ②真诚地：sincerely/genuinely 【点睛】【高分句型1】I also mentioned that every member should do their own job instead of leaving everything to one person, hoping he could arrange tasks reasonably.（运用了that引导的宾语从句以及现在分词作状语。） 【高分句型2】He immediately rearranged the tasks, making sure everyone had clear duties.（运用了现在分词作状语。） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2024级高一下期期末考试押题卷(二) 英语 (考试时间：120分钟 全卷满分：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。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

B Amanda Kofoeds had found a strange lump in her arm one day and visited a doctor at a friend's urging. During this time, she was enrolled in school for education and was currently uninsured due to the expense. She planned to save money so she could get on her husband' s insurance and then seek medical treatment for the cancer. Her friends and family didn't want her to postpone her treatment due to the expense. They took matters into their own hands and started a GoFundMe campaign. The friend came up with the creative idea to spread the word and invite family, friends, and strangers who wanted to help to participate in a donation flash mob (快闪行动).The event started an outpouring of enormous generosity from the local community. Amanda and her husband Clint teared up as the crowd passed by and the donations poured in. The generous act of kindness gave the family a comforting, and optimistic feeling during a time when all hope seemed lost. Clint said that Amanda struggled with the idea of asking for help. She felt guilty and undeserving compared to others who are also struggling. In the time since, Amanda has enrolled in an insurance plan and has finished chemotherapy. Life for the family has started getting back to their normal routine. Once Amanda got her strength back, she returned to school and completed her bachelor's degree in education. She is now a teacher. She said the experience motivated her to instill (灌输) the value of charity in her children. The family is now inspired to volunteer in their local neighborhood and contribute to crowdfunding (众筹) efforts. They are grateful for the opportunity to give back and help others as many have helped them. The couple said they feel blessed by the strong support. PassItOn wants to celebrate those heroes during the family's darkest time. These individuals perfectly demonstrate the value of community. It is with the help of their generosity that the family is now happy, healthy and whole. 4. Why did Amanda Kofoeds postpone her treatment? A. She was admitted to a school. B.

C The African Children’s Choir (合唱团) is made up of children who are 7 to 10 years old from Africa. They have incredible voices and spirit that amaze the audience everywhere they go! And they go to a lot of places, all around the world. And not only do they travel a lot, but they perform with some superstar singers and celebrities for heads of state. But this is not what makes the choir so special. Like New York’s PS22, they do not just sing, but truly put their hearts, souls and bodies into their words. But what is unique about the choir is that it offers hope, education and confidence to children who live in extreme poverty. For example, the kids in the choir are mostly from the poorest countries in the world. Many children live in one-room homes and walk more than 2 miles to get water for their family. Most of the children have lost one or both of their parents because of wars or diseases. Through its music and education, the African Children’s Choir changes the lives of its children. It allows them to see the world. It gives them hope and confidence. It shows them that everything is possible. The choir even pays for their education through college. In 30 years, it has educated and changed the lives of over 50, 000 children. And, in turn, the children return to their hometowns with new thoughts and new skills to help improve their family and community. These children are truly helping to build a better Africa. 8. What is special about the choir? A. Its positive influence on poor children. B. Performing together with famous people. C. Its members truly putting their hearts into words. D. Its members focusing on singing beautiful songs. 9. What can we learn about the members of the African Children’s Choir? A. They have no parent. B. They are all ten years old. C. Many of them live a hard life. D. Some of them come from PS22. 10. What can we learn from paragraph 4? A. The African Children’s Choir makes a lot of money. B. The African Children’s Choir has become very popular. C. The African Children’s Choir is very helpful to its members. D. The African Children’s Choir helps 50,000 children go to college. 11. What is the purpose of the passage? A. To tell an inspiring story. B. To advertise some choirs. C. To introduce a special choir. D. To encourage us to help African children. D Virtue, by definition, is the moral excellence of a person. Morally excellent people have a character made up of virtues valued as good. They are honest, respectful, courageous, forgiving and kind, for example. They do the right thing, and don't bend to impulses, urges or desires, but act according to values and principles. Some might say good qualities are inborn. Actually, virtues need to be cultivated. With the habit of being virtuous, we can take control of our lives and move them in the direction of greater happiness and fulfillment. Virtues are universal and recognized by all cultures as basic qualities of well-being. However, practicing virtues is not easy. So often we know that it takes perseverance to reach our goals, and we still never get there. We know if we forgive, we'll be less angry. We know it takes courage to accomplish great things. So why then, if we know what to do, are we still stuck? Because we have not yet consciously applied a virtue to a given situation so as to change its outcome such as in these examples: kindness towards someone who is having a bad day can make him or her smile and build rapport; trust in a relationship creates valuable, meaningful relationships; gratitude in a job loss can shift our focus from feeling low to how we can have a new, more fulfilling career; service to others can change lives, better neighborhoods and create stronger nations. We know we are becoming more virtuous people, not only because of the results above but also because of the way other people respond to us. Our friends, families, co-workers, and neighbors will trust and rely on us. They will come to us for guidance and help. They will want to be around us because we inspire them to be better people. Practicing virtues allows us to develop our potential, and live a more purposeful, better life. 12. What can we know about virtuous people from the first paragraph? A. They are born with virtue. B. They never make a mistake. C. They have a habit of doing good. D. They act on the principle of profit. 13. What is the second paragraph mainly about? A. Satisfying career. B. Practicing virtues. C. Trust in a relationship. D. Basic qualities of well-being. 14. What does the underlined word “rapport” mean in the third paragraph? A. A good greeting. B. A great atmosphere. C. A good goodbye. D. A close relationship. 15. What is the author's purpose in the last paragraph? A. To encourage readers to be more virtuous. B. To encourage readers to live a purposeful life. C. To encourage readers to offer others guidance. D. To encourage readers to develop others' potential. 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 You may see many people on their yearly camping trips, going into nature to seek a connection with something greater than themselves.

I was excited to be in Group Spain. The group leader, Stan, designed a sign-up sheet for different tasks. There was a cooking task. I could do far better in cooking. So, I chose to cook Spanish dishes on the very day of the fair. Yet, the first few weeks slipped away quickly, and no one seemed to be starting their jobs — probably because they were tired by their studies, or they were simply not in the mood. I was worried that we might present a bad Spain because of our slow progress. After telling other members in Group Spain about my worries and encouraging them to make preparations, we finally started the preparation work. When we made preparations for the fair, I received a message from Stan. “How many cups of drink do you plan to prepare?” he asked. Maybe forty? I wasn’t sure. I asked the group members in charge of the planning about the number of people who would be at the fair, but they said they didn’t know. Out of other solutions, I answered Stan with my count and explained that I might need to confirm (确定) with the organizer of the fair to know the exact number. Then one day later, another demand came, “By the way, can you tell me the price for the food?” Sending him the rough price of the food, I frowned. This was supposed to be the task of others. Why did I have to do it? Again, for the progress of our group, I did not think much. Then came the third, “I mean I need specific numbers, the Unit price for each, and the total cost. Make a table and list all the things, will you?” Before I could do the market research for him, the fourth appeared. I tried to hold my manner as I felt rather dissatisfied when I realized that he was assigning (分派) others’ jobs to me. “That’s it. Enough is enough,” I said to myself. 注意：续写词数应为150左右。 Having carefully chosen language, I went forward. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After hearing all those words, Stan said he understood my point and admitted his mistakes. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
