Barbie has a sister and a brother B. Sukriti thinks that cartoons do harm to children C. Balaji is a schoolchild D. Schoolchildren carry light bags B Today when it comes to the use of digital technology, girls have less basic education, leaving them far behind boys. And because the world is more digital, those who lack basic Internet skills will find it more difficult to take part in the formal economy, to get a quality education, and to have their voices heard. Since 2013 the global gender gap(性别差异) in male and female about the Internet has actually increased from 11 to 12 percent. Worse yet, women and girls living in the poorest countries are 31 percent less likely than men and boys to surf the Internet. In developing countries, some 200 million fewer women than men own a mobile phone, the most common means of surfing the Internet there. This digital divide is increasing, and if it continues at the present pace, it is predicted that over 75 percent of women and girls will lack Internet access and digital skills. There are many causes of the digital gender gap. They include girls' exclusion(排斥) from basic education, from specific technology education and high costs of mobile phones and Internet access. Indeed, one of the so-called reasons why girls may be discouraged from learning how to access and use digital technology is also a groundless(毫无根据的) one: that girls are simply not good at using technology. Without the help of the government, most of the benefits of technological change will be enjoyed only by men, making gender inequality even more serious. 24. What can we know from Paragraph 1? A. Girls usually don't like to share their ideas. B. Girls don't have enough digital knowledge. C. Boys are more interested in making money. D. Boys may always receive advanced education. 25. How does the writer make his statement in Paragraph 2? A. By listing numbers. B. By giving reasons. C. By following the time order. D. By giving examples. 26. What is the writer's attitude to the idea that girls are simply not good at using technology? A. Positive. B. Acceptable. C. Negative. D. Unclear. 27. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Girls are lacking in education. B. Women suffer a lot from poor economy. C. Internet continues to develop fast and fast. D. Girls are at a disadvantage compared with boys in digital technology. C When you hear Broadway, Abbey Road, and Bourbon Street, what comes to mind? The bright lights? The Beatles? Mardi Gras? They are some of the most recognizable streets in the world, and though you may never have set foot on any of them, their names are a familiar part of modern culture. So what's in a name? A lot! In the early days of urban development in the United States, streets were typically named after landmarks (like Canal or Market), topographic (地形学的) features (like Hill or Water), or location (like East or Upper). Major streets were often given names of power (like State or King) or after heroes and leaders (like Washington or Jefferson). Until the mid-1900s, the majority of the population lived in crowded cities. The roads in urbanized cities were typically laid out in logical, organized grids (网格). Around 1950, however, people began moving out of cities to build homes in the countryside where they could have more land and less urban congestion (拥挤). This movement was the birth of what we now call suburbia. For the first time, many people were moving into homes with private yards and trees. Inspired by the growing suburban trend and increased value people were placing on nature, it became common for suburban communities to name streets after trees and plants (like Elm or Vine or Magnolia). When it comes to new and modern urban development, developers are typically responsible for naming streets in the new neighborhoods they build. Developers often choose street names based on certain desired features they want people to associate with the neighborhood. From Whispering Pine Drive to Buckingham Lane, using the suggestive power of words helps shape a neighborhood even before the first home has been built. 28. Why does the author mention several questions in Paragraph 1? A. To draw the readers' attention. B. To find out the correct answers. C. To show some people's puzzles. D. To introduce the topic of the text. 29. What does Paragraph 2 tell us? A. The urban development. B. The changes of the streets. C. The way of naming the streets. D. The varieties of all the streets. 30. How were the suburban streets named? A. By nature. B. By location. C. By landmarks. D. By heroes and leaders. 31. Which of the following is named in a modern way? A. North Main Street. B. Buckingham Lane. C. King James Way. D. Washington Street. D In winter, intense cold in China's Jilin Province can turn tripping water into ice within seconds. Yet, 63-year-old Ren Jianguo gets up early every day to spread corn on the riverbank to make sure thousands of migratory birds (候鸟) have food to go through the cold days. Ren lives in Jilin City and has been one of the many volunteers protecting migratory birds on the banks of the Songhua River. Over the past 26 years, he has been one of the many volunteers protecting migratory birds on the river's Changbai Island. Local residents label him as “Uncle Bird”. Winter is the busiest time for Uncle Bird as it is the season when large numbers of migratory birds fly here to avoid the biting cold days in Siberia, Russia. On the upper reaches of the Songhua River is Northeast China's largest artificial lake. The temperature of the water stays at around 4 - 10℃ all year round. This allows Changbai Island to welcome countless migratory birds. “As long as they choose to stay in this city, there should be people to take care of them.” When it becomes difficult to find food in winter, I call for donations or sometimes pay for the food myself to secure their survival during the winter,” Ren said. Jilin City, which is part of the migratory passage of birds in East Asia, is one of the few warm wetlands in northern China suitable for migratory birds to rest. To improve the environment here, the Chinese government has invested about 26.6 billion yuan for water pollution control and prevention along the Songhua River since 2006. For Ren, a small house near the riverbank has almost become his “second home”, a place from which he can patrol (巡逻) along the banks, observe birds, educate the public about bird conservation, and, after a long day of work, light a fire and enjoy a warm meal. “I simply want this to be a warm and welcoming place for birds when they choose to stay here for a temporary rest,” he said. 32. Why does Ren Jianguo volunteer to protect migratory birds? A. To keep himself from being bored. B. To keep the birds from flying away. C. To keep the birds from going hungry. D. To keep the environment from being polluted. 33. Why do the birds come to Changbai Island in winter? A. To eat high-quality corns. B. To see kind-hearted volunteers. C. For a cleaner environment. D. For a better temperature. 34. Which of the following best describes Ren Jianguo's work? A. Boring. B. Professional. C. Dangerous. D. Meaningful. 35. What is the best title of this passage? A. The Tale of “Uncle Bird” B. The Environment of Changbai Island C. The Survival of Birds D. The Protection of Wetlands 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。 Ways to Make Yourself Happier Every Day Everyone wants to be happy. You see people who are smiling and laughing, and you want to be like them. 36_______________ However, there are also bad days where you wear a scowl(不悦的神色) that is capable of scaring away both the sun and smiling people alike. There are ways, however, to ensure that there are more good days than bad days. Here are several ways to make yourself happier every day. Smile often. There is really some truth to the old adage(谚语) “Fake it till you make it.” Research has shown that the facial expression you wear influences your mood. 37 _____________If you make it a point to smile, you are more likely to be happy. 38____________The more you complain, the more annoyed you will become. If all you notice or talk about during the day are the things that annoy you, it is no surprise that you are unhappy. If you only pay attention to bad things, then the only input your emotions receive is negative. To truly boost your long-term happiness, stop complaining. 39。_________ Practice gratitude. Gratitude has been shown to be the ultimate ticket to a happy life. The more you practice gratitude, the more you will find things to be grateful for in your life. 40___________Even something as simple as a safe place to sleep or food to eat is worth being thankful for because not everyone is fortunate enough to have those necessities. A. Stop complaining. B. Try your best to avoid negativity. C. There are good days filled with smiles. D. This then leads you to realize how much goodness there is in your life. E.

My parents had insisted I go to college, but I was tired of school. I hated it. I was determined not to go. And, besides, my father was too strict. I had too many chores to do around the farm. I hated the work! There had been a quarrel between my father and me. I threw some things into a bag and left angrily, as my father shouted after me, “If you leave, don't come back!” My mother cried openly, and I have seen those tears during a hundred sleepless nights. Then it's time to write a letter to my father. Dear Dad, It's been more than a year now. I've traveled east to west. I've had dozens of jobs. None of them amounted to very much. Always the same questions: “How much education have you got?” It seems that they always want college men for the good jobs. Dad, you and Mother were right about everything. I know now that the work on the farm didn't hurt me, and I'm convinced I need college. I'm also convinced that both of you loved me. Dad, I've learned a lesson. I want to come home. I know you said if I left, that I couldn't come back, but I'm praying you'll change your mind. I want to come home and be a part of the family again. Give my love to Mother and the girls. Love, Your son As I folded the letter and put it into an envelope, I felt a refreshing relief. It was as if a heavy load had been lifted from my shoulders. And I had to be on my way home. I started down the desolate road—the long road home. Fortunately, a car picked me up, and it was good to have someone to talk with. The driver was a salesman and very pleasant. “Where are you going, Son?” he asked good-naturedly. There was a long silence before I said, “Home.” “Been away from home long?” I smiled, a little self-conscious, and said, “One year, one month and two days.” 续写要求: 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式作答。 P1: Having heard my story, he expressed his support for my final decision and told me something surprising. __________________________________________________________________________ P2: Finally, I arrived home when it was completely dark. 5 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高一期中考试答案 一、听力： 1-5.

On the one hand, AI brings us a lot of advantages. It helps us with our study, like looking up new words or solving difficult problems quickly. In daily life, smart phones and AI speakers make our lives easier and more convenient.On the other hand, AI also has some disadvantages. . If we use it too much, we may lose the ability to think on our own. Also, some students use AI to copy homework, which is bad for their progress. In my opinion, we should use AI in a right way. We can let it help us learn better, but we must not depend on it too much. Only in this way can we make good use of AI. 四．读后续写 Having heard my story, he expressed his support for my final decision and told me something surprising. “Boy, you have made the right choice to go back home,” he said. “To be frank, my son ran away from home two years ago. I have been missing him every hour and every minute.” Now it’s time for me to comfort him, “Don’t worry. I believe he will come back soon, just like me.” I expressed my thanks for his kindness of having me on his car and I wished his son good luck. After all, we are all good people and good people deserve good fortune. Finally, I arrived home when it was completely dark. Nervous and uneasy, I approached the door and knocked on it gently. It was my father who opened the door and my sudden appearance made him go wild with joy. “Son, you’ve finally come back. I’ve been waiting for this moment,” said my father in a trembling voice. It was at that moment that I realized there is no place like home and blood is thicker than water. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
