B Last summer,I was watering my backyard garden when I heard strange squeals( )Looking into a planter three feet off the ground,I discovered something unexpected:a nest of newborn rabbits.Five tiny babies lay together,eyes still closed, completely helpless. Over the next two weeks,I quietly observed them from a distance.They stayed hidden under leaves while their mother watched from the yard's edge.She never came near when I was there,but I knew she was always present,silently protecting her young. As the rabbits grew,they began exploring.One day,a baby rabbit balanced on the planter's edge,considering a jump.I wanted to help but knew I shouldn't interfere( )Soon,one by one,they began leaping off.Some landed smoothly;others stumbled. The last rabbit hesitated longest,trembling at the edge.I silently cheered for it.Finally, it jumped. That moment made me think about our own lives.We like to believe we can control everything with careful planning.Yet the experiences that truly shape us-moving to a new city,starting a relationship,becoming a parent-are all leaps into the unknown.Like the rabbits,we cannot know exactly where we will land. I used to think courage meant not being afraid.Now I understand it means being afraid but moving forward anyway.The rabbits didn't jump because they felt safe. They jumped because staying where they were was no longer possible. I thought about my own leaps.Leaving a secure job without another one lined up felt terrifying,but staying would have meant giving up on growth.Holding my first newborn son in the hospital,I felt completely unprepared for parenthood.Yet somehow, we figure things out. We all face moments when we must leave what feels safe.Some of us leap early, some late.Some land well;others fall and try again.But the leap itself cannot be avoided.Fear is not always a signal to stop.Sometimes it simply means we are standing at the edge of something worth trying. In the end,life is less about holding onto safety and more about what we risk when we finally decide to jump. 24.Why did the mother rabbit stay away from her young? A.She was waiting for them to jump. B.She wanted to protect them secretly. 2024级高二4月期中质量检测·英语第4页共10页 C.She was teaching them to stay hidden. D.She was afraid of the author's presence. 25.Why did the last baby rabbit finally decide to jump off the planter? A.It felt completely safe and ready to fly. B.The author silently encouraged it to leap. C.Staying on the edge was no longer a choice. D.It saw other baby rabbits landing smoothly below. 26.How has the author's understanding of"courage"changed? A.From avoiding fear to removing all risks. B.From lacking fear to acting despite being afraid. C.From feeling safe to seeking dangerous situations. D.From controlling outcomes to accepting total failure. 27.What is the writer's main idea? A.Planning removes fear. B.Gardens attract wildlife. C.Animals teach parenting. D.Life requires brave leaps C Being an expert birdwatcher is more than just a hobby;it might actually change your brain.New research suggests that these changes could improve thinking skills, even as you get older. A recent Canadian study compared the brains of 29 expert birders with those of 29 beginners.The experts,aged 24 to 75,were chosen based on their ability to identify birds,not just how long they had been watching them.The beginners,aged 22 to 79, enjoyed outdoor activities but lacked special bird knowledge.During tests,experts were much better at identifying both local and foreign bird species. Scientists used two types of MRI scans to examine the participants'brains.The first type looked at brain structure..It showed that experts had denser(更密集的)brain tissue in areas linked to attention,memory,and recognizing objects.Denser tissue often means better communication between brain cells.The second type of scan watched brain activity while people identified birds.It revealed that experts used those same dense areas when trying to spot birds,especially unfamiliar ones.This suggests their brains had reorganized themselves to support this complex skill. Interestingly,these brain differences appeared in experts of all ages.While the study does not prove that birding stops mental decline,it suggests that such activities might support brain health in older adults.However,some experts warn about a "chicken-or-egg"problem:perhaps people with naturally sharper brains are simply more likely to become expert birders in the first place.Also,since participants were active outdoor lovers,their healthy lifestyles might also play a role. Other benefits might come from being in nature,walking,and socializing,all of which are good for the brain.Future studies should follow beginners over time to see if their brains change as they learn.Still,the main message is clear:the skills we practice deeply leave a mark on our brains.Whether it is birding,music,or sports,dedicating time to a complex interest can help build mental strength that lasts a lifetime. 2024级高二4月期中质量检测·英语第5页共10页 28.What made the experts different from beginners in the study? A.Skill in telling birds apart. B.Age and education level. C.Years spent birdwatching.D.Amount of outdoor exercise. 29.What specific physical change was found in the experts'brains? A.Larger brain size overall. B.Denser tissue in key areas. C.Fewer connections between cells.D.More active blood flow everywhere. 30.What is the"chicken-or-egg"problem mentioned in the text? A.Are experts born with better brains or trained? B.Do outdoor activities lead to better brain health? C.Can birdwatching alone explain the brain changes? 24015t9.f4子. D.Does a healthy lifestyle affect brain health more than birding? 0中1 31.Which of the following is the best title for the text? 002i202n01. A.MRI Scans Reveal Birders'Secrets B.How to Become a Bird Expert Quickly C.Deep Hobbies Can Reshape Your Brain D.Why Older Adults Should Walk Outside D 2 Scientists at the University of Pennsylvania have created some of the world's smallest robots.These tiny machines are smaller than a grain of salt and can hardly be seen without a microscope.Yet,each robot contains a built-in computer,allowing it to control its own movements while swimming in water. For years,researchers have tried to build smaller robots.However,as robots shrink(),they often become weak and break easily.To solve this problem,the new robots were designed without any moving parts,making them more durable.Leading the project,Marc Miskin explained,"We have managed to fit a brain,a sensor,and a motor into something almost invisible,and it can work for months." Powering such small devices was a major challenge.The team used tiny solar panels, enabling the robots to run for months using only light.Since the solar panel takes up most of the space,there was little room left for other components.Fortunately,scientists from the University of Michigan developed a super-small computer that can be programmed using flashing lights.Once programmed,the robots operate independently. Moving through water proved difficult too.Small robots struggle to move through water,as it's hard to push against it.Instead of pushing water backward like fish,these robots create a tiny electric field that causes charged atoms in the water to move.This movement pushes the robot forward. These robots can sense temperature and swim toward warmer areas.They even "communicate"through movement.For example,after measuring temperature,a robot might perform a small:dance.Researchers watching under a microscope can interpret these dances to gather information,similar to how bees communicate. Though advanced,each robot costs only about one cent.Scientists believe this is just the beginning.In the future,such robots could monitor cell health inside the human 2024级高二4月期中质量检测·英语第6页共10页 body or work together in groups to complete complex tasks.This breakthrough opens exciting possibilities for science and medicine. 32.What does the underlined word"durable"in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A.Able to last long. B.Very simple in design. C.Difficult to see with eyes. D.Costing very little money. 33.What is the most important challenge faced by scientists in making these robots functional? A.Programming the robots efficiently. .mgondn doi B.Designing robots without moving parts. C.Ensuring the robots have enough power. 9拾w2公，9心21 D.Making the robots small enough to.swim. g分u0.i 拥 34.How do these tiny robots move forward through water? a8分ym A.By pushing water backward like small fish. B.By using electric fields to shift charged atoms. C.By following the flow of warmer water currents. D.By turning around their tiny solar panels rapidly. 35.What does the example of the robot"dance"mainly show? A.Robots move like bees. B.Robots like warm water. C.Robots need human control. D.Robots send messages by actions. 第二节（共5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。 White noise is a special kind of sound.It is made by mixing all the different sound frequencies that humans can hear.Imagine playing every possible musical tone at the same time.36 The word"white"is used because of the way white light works.White light is made up of many different colors of light mixed together.When light passes through a rainbow,these colors can be separated.37 You can think of it as thousands of tones playing together. 38 It helps block out unwanted noise.For example,if you're in a hotel and can hear voices from the next room,turning on a fan can help block out those sounds. The fan creates a steady sound similar to white noise. s Why does this work?Our brains are good at focusing on one voice among a few. However,when too many people talk at once,the brain cannot separate single voices. The sound becomes a blur.39 It covers up background noise and makes it harder for our brain to pick out individual sounds. Many people use white noise to sleep better.Constant background sound masks sudden noises like traffic or dogs barking.40 Today,special machines and phone apps provide white noise easily.Some even offer similar sounds like pink or brown noise.Using these tools can help us enjoy a more relaxed and restful night's sleep. 2024级高二4月期中质量检测·英语第7页.共10页 A.The result is white noise. B.This prevents waking up during the night. C.This unique quality makes white noise very useful. D.White noise acts like a crowd of thousands talking. E.The louder the white noise is,the better its effect will be. F.Similarly,white noise contains all sound frequencies mixed together. G.Fortunately,many people find certain noises relaxing and pleasant. 第三部分语言运用（共两节，满分30分）0s 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分)： 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以 填入空白处的最佳选项。 At age eight,Miles Wu found a special joy in origami,the art of paper folding.

Our trouble reached its peak during the annual-Science Fair project.We were paired to build a model bridge for the physics fair:I insisted on following the book design exactly,believing being exact was the only way to succeed.Samuel,however, kept suggesting "creative improvements,"adding unnecessary curves and decorations. "It needs soul,not just math!"he insisted.I refused,thinking his ideas were silly.We barely spoke,working in cold silence. 300ii1t0w52.A Two days before the deadline,disaster struck.My strictly calculated bridge broke under a small weight test.The central support snapped,and my perfect plan lay in ruins. Panic washed over me.All my hard work seemed wasted,and failure felt certain.I put my head in my hands,ready to give up. 1 Suddenly,the constant pen-tapping stopped.Samuel didn't say "I told you so." Instead,he gently moved the broken pieces aside.He opened his notebook,showing sketches he had made secretly-designs inspired by nature,like spider.webs and tree roots."Your math is perfect,"he said quietly,"but it forgot about being flexible.Let's try combining your numbers with my structure." Looking at his determined eyes,I swallowed my pride.We had less than 48 hours. We decided to work together,mixing my logical thinking with his wild creativity. ；8 注意： 739n,) 1.续写词数应为150个左右； an gndson sth 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 That night,the classroom became a busy workshop.

I am Li Hua,a student from your Grade 2 class.I'm writing to seek your advice on a problem that's been bothering me in my English learning recently. Despite my efforts,I still struggle to catch key information in fast-paced conversations,which makes me feel frustrated.Additionally,I often hesitate to speak up due to a fear of making grammar mistakes or having a strong accent.Could you please offer me some practical suggestions to help me overcome these obstacles? Your guidance would mean a lot to me.Looking forward to your reply. Yours sincerely. Li Hua 第二节 One possible version: That night,the classroom became a busy workshop.I carefully checked the numbers for every piece,while Samuel skillfully built the curved parts based on his nature drawings.His usual humming was now a soft song that kept us happy when we felt tired.Whenever I could not solve a hard problem,his creative ideas offered a surprising answer;whenever his design seemed too wild,my facts made it safe.The silence between us was no longer cold but comfortable,filled with our shared goal to build something great.By dawn,our bridge stood complete,a perfect mix of math and art. On the day of the competition,our bridge stood out among all the entries.While others were either just useful or just pretty,ours had both strength and beauty.The judges looked pleased as they put heavy weights on our model.It held firm,supporting far more than needed without breaking.When they announced us as the first-prize winners,Samuel and I gave each other a high-five.Holding the prize together,I finally understood what our teacher had seen.Samuel was not a problem to be fixed,but a partner who made me better.Our differences had not pulled us apart;instead,they had built a bridge between our hearts that would last forever. 【解题导语】这是一篇应用文。本文介绍了“Scholastic艺术与写作奖”的参赛资格、报名步骤、费用说明、 截止日期查询方式以及获奖者可获得的荣誉和奖学金机会。 2l.B细节理解题。根据文中的“Art entries must be submitted as digital images,.so make

说明了其在帮助人们改善睡眠方面的实际用途。 36A前文提到想象同时演奏出所有可能的音调”，这是一个假设性的描述。空格处应承接这一描述给出结 论。选项A(结果就是白噪声)紧承上文，对同时演奏出所有可能的音调”这一行为的结果进行了 定义，符合逻辑。 37.F本段主要在类比“白光和白噪声”。前文讲了白光由多种颜色混合而成，通过彩虹可以分离。空格后一句 说“你可以把它想象成成千上万种音调一起演奏”。选项F(同样地，白噪声包含混合在一起的所有声波 频率)使用了关键词Similarly'”（同样地)，完美衔接了前文的光与后文的“声”，完成了类比论证。 38C后文紧接着说它有助于阻挡不需要的噪音”，并举了风扇的例子。这说明本段要讲白噪声的“用处”。 选项C(这种独特的性质使白噪声非常有用)中的useful”直接引出了后文的具体用途，且“unique quality'指代了前文提到的混合所有频率的特性。 39.D前文提到人脑难以从许多人同时说话的声音中分离出单个声音，声音会变成一团模糊(ablur)。空格 后说它掩盖了背景噪音”。选项D(白噪声的作用就像成千上万人在说话一样)与前文的'too many people talk at once形成呼应，解释了为什么大脑无法从中提取单一声音，从而引出后文的掩盖”效果。 40B前一句说“持续的背景音掩盖了像交通或狗叫等突发噪音”。空格处应说明这样做带来的直接好处。选 项B(这防止了在夜间醒来)紧承前文，说明了掩盖突发噪音的后果一让人不被吵醒，与段尾提 到的“restful night's sleep”(宁静的夜间睡眠)相呼应。 【解题导语】这是一篇记叙文。八岁起热爱折纸的少年Mils,通过实验发现折叠纸张的惊人承重能力， 获科学大奖并立志设计应急避难所。 41.D前文提到Miles在八岁时发现了折纸的乐趣，后文也明确提到His hobby has even”(他的爱好甚 至..)。此处指他将这个“爱好变成了惊人的成就。 2024级高二4月期中质量检测·英语参考答案第2页共4页 42.C根据后文提到的实验内容（研究纸张承重、参考NASA技术、测试不同组合），这显然是一个关于物 理和工程的“科学”竞赛，而非单纯的艺术比赛。 43.C后文详细描述了纸张能承受的重量(weight equal to4,000 elephants),因此这里指一张纸能承受超过 其自身“重量”一万多倍的负荷。 44A前句提到他喜欢大自然，特别是鸟类和昆虫。因此，他制作的纸制品应该是“动物”。后文也提到了他 制作的是origami pigeons（纸鸽子)。 45.B后句提到他通过卖手工折纸鸽子为慈善机构筹集了约2000美元。这说明他的爱好“帮助”了他人。 46.B整段都在讲纸张折叠后的承重能力，他研究的是折叠后的纸能有多坚固”。 47.A他的兴趣部分是被紧急避难所的想法所“启发”的。be inspired by是固定搭配，意为“受…启发”。 48.C这种名为Miura-Ori”的折叠法曾被NASA用于太空太阳能板，说明它是一种特殊的”折叠方法，并 非普通或传统的折法。 49.D他在家里进行实验，自然是“测试”了50多种不同的纸张和折叠图案组合。 50D结果显示小折叠能创造最强的结构，甚至能承受4000头大象的重量，这个结果显然是“令人惊讶的”。 51.A一种设计能“支撑”相当于4000头大象的重量。support(支撑)符合承重语境。 52.B这是一个竞赛，给选手打分并颁发奖金的通常是“评委”。 53.C Miles的研究核心是纸张的折叠方式，所以他计划继续研究折叠”技术，以便设计避难所。 54.D追随你的好奇心可以通向”伟大的地方（即取得伟大成就)。lead to great places是形象的说法。 55.B文章开头就提到Miles对折纸的joy和love,结尾总结说你永远不知道你的“兴趣爱好”会带你走向科 学领域的何处。interests呼应前文的hobby和curiosity。
