Stewart spent his life studying and photographing sharks and other sea creatures, and creating films. Sadly, he died in 2017 at the age of 37 in a diving ( 潜水) accident. The accident happened while Stewart was filming Sharkwater Extinction, which members of his crew ( 工作人员) completed after his death. Knowing that about 25% of shark species were endangered and sharks might soon be extinct, Stewart worked hard to raise awareness ( 意识) of sharks and their key role in nature. Stewart believed that they should be protected against humans and other enemies. He studied how illegal shark finning ( 割鱼鳍) has led to a great fall in the shark population. When Stewart found out about the finning, he tried to end it. As an experienced diver and skilled cinematographer, he was able to raise awareness of the problem by filming sharks in their natural environment. His films, said Sandy Stewart, showed people “how beautiful the underwater creatures are. People would fall in love with them and work to protect them.” As of 2013, 55 countries had banned ( 禁止) shark finning. Stewart lived and died a hero in the pursuit of saving sharks and the sea. He is believed to have saved one-third of the world's sharks. Stewart's parents hope kids will continue his story by supporting shark-friendly actions. They encourage kids to buy or ask their parents to buy shark-free products. Another thing that young people can do is learn more about sharks. A good place to start is “Shark Database,” an online resource that was created by Rob Stewart's friends. “It's your generation that we want to make sure sees the world that Rob saw and does whatever you can to protect the big fish,” said Stewart's father. “One person can make a big difference.” 4. What do we know about Rob Stewart? A. He died because of a shark attack. B. He was interested in sea animals. C. He led a research team studying the sea. D. He made Sharkwater Extinction in 2017. 5. What did Rob Stewart do to end illegal shark finning? A. He made films showing sharks living naturally. B. He encouraged people to buy shark-free products. C. He wrote to the government asking for a ban on shark finning. D. He collected information to show the influence of illegal shark finning. 6. How may Rob Stewart's action to save sharks be described? A. Creative.   B. Successful.    C. Fruitless.   D. Unwelcome. 7. In “the world that Rob saw”, _____. A. little action was taken to protect sharks B. less than 50 countries banned shark finning C. about a quarter of shark species were in danger D. human behavior was the main cause of shark extinction ( C ) Have you ever noticed that some songs start with a “one, two, three, four”? You can hear it in songs by many different artists. But why are they counting? The counting you hear is a small clue to a big fact — math is behind almost everything in music! Let’s wonder together! First, let’s start with “counting in”. Musicians will often count to make sure that they all start the song at the same time. Once they start together, everyone has to stay on the same beat. Every song has a steady beat. One of the first ways that young children can start to learn math ideas is learning how to make a steady beat! A steady beat is one kind of pattern. Other patterns in music relate to math, too. We can see patterns in how far apart notes are from each other. Sometimes we play more than one note at a time. Musicians also need numbers to understand how to play music. If you look at written music, you will see two numbers on the left side. Often, the numbers are 4/4. This is called the time signature. The top number of it tells the musician how many beats are in each part of the line of music. The second number tells us what type of note gets one beat. The “4” on the bottom lets us know that a quarter note gets one beat. It is clear that music is good for our brains, whether or not it makes us better at math. Playing music uses several parts of your brain at the same time. Musicians need to use their brains to see the music, hear the notes, and touch the instrument in just the right ways to make sounds! These are just a few of the ways that music and math are related. As you learn more about music and math, you’ll see more connections! 8．What is the purpose of the first paragraph? A．To give some examples. B．To introduce the main topic. C．To present an academic achievement. D．To list the impact of some famous musicians. 9．What does the second number of the time signature mean? A．What category of note gets one beat. B．What varieties songs should have. C．How many beats are in each measure. D．How the former note is transformed into the next. 10．How does the author think about learning music? A．Dizzy but powerful. B．Complicated but rewarding. C．Time-consuming but relaxing. D．Expensive but pleasant. 11．What can be inferred from the text? A．To learn math well, you should have a good command of music. B．The performance of one’s music may have an effect on that of one’s math. C．The more you learn music, the more broadminded you will be. D．People’s taste in music varies from person to person. ( D ) A new study introduces an AI-driven strategy that has changed the way scientists locate and protect endangered species. The study, "Optimal Learning and Management of Threatened Species", was first designed to help track the Hainan gibbon (海南长臂猿), one of the world's most endangered species, with only 42 remaining. The Hainan gibbon was once widely found in the rainforest of Hainan Island,China, but habitat destruction and hunting have pushed it towards extinction.Today, the whole known population lives in a protected area of only 6 square miles. However, there have been unverified (未经证实的) sightings in other forested areas, and finding any remaining gibbons is the most important task. "It is like playing Whack-a-Mole (打地鼠 ) in the dark. You need to hit the mole exactly at the right time and in the right place," says lead author Jue Wang from Queen's University. "If you don't manage your efforts in the right place at the right time, the species may die out before you even know it was there. The researchers developed a model to help scientists decide where and how long to search, and how to divide their efforts between searching and protecting the species. Using the model, the research team found that areas in which gibbons had never been recorded before might actually be the best places to search, challenging traditional methods. The model helps scientists identify the most important search areas, avoid wasted efforts in low-probability locations, and speed up efforts to locate and protect species before they disappear. With the loss of plants and animals at an all-time high, scientists need smarter tools that can work faster and more efficiently (高效地). "This research provides a new solution that can be immediately applied to species recovery efforts worldwide, giving extremely endangered animals the best chance of survival," says Roozbeh Yousefi of Queen's University. 12. What do we know about Hainan gibbons from paragraph 2? A. Their actual number might be larger. B. Their habitats used to be well protected. C. They didn't like the rainforest of Hainan. D. They couldn't be found in the forested areas. 13. What is Jue Wang's purpose in referring to Whack-a-Mole? A. To stress the need for quick searches. B. To introduce the hiding skills of gibbons C. To describe the fun of the search process. D. To show the challenge of timely discovery. 14. What does the model help scientists do? A. Identify lost species. B. Propose search areas.. C. Record Hainan gibbons. D. Divide traditional methods. 15. Why does Roozbeh Yousefi think highly of the model? A. It lowers the cost of species recovery. B. It suits technology-limited regions well, C. It successfully saves endangered species. D. It provides a ready-to-use global solution. 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。 The Chinese lunar calendar divides the year into 24 solar terms.

The community also awarded his a kindness certificate. Last Friday noon, the sun was shining brightly, and Li Hua was walking on his way to school with his schoolbag on his back. He was humming a light song, looking forward to the afternoon classes. Suddenly, a loud "thud" caught his attention. He turned around quickly and saw an old grandma fall to the ground. The grandma was carrying a big basket full of fresh vegetables, and all the vegetables rolled out onto the road, some even got dirty. Soon, several passers-by stopped to watch. Some of them frowned and whispered to each other, worrying that they might be framed if they helped. Some looked at their watches in a hurry, shook their heads and left, because they didn’t want to be late for work or other things. A few people just stood there quietly, staring at the grandma, but no one took a step forward to help his. The scene was a little cold, and the grandma looked painful, trying to stand up but failing. When Li Hua saw this, his heart tightened. He stopped walking and stood there, feeling a little nervous and confused. He really wanted to run over to help the grandma, because the grandma looked so helpless. But at the same time, He remembered the stories his classmates had told his before—some people were misunderstood and even sued after helping others who fell down. He hesitated, his hands clenched tightly. "What if the grandma blames me for making his fall?" He thought to himself. "But if I don’t help his, He might stay on the road for a long time and get more hurt. What if no one else helps his?" Meanwhile, he was also anxious: "What if I stop to help and I will be late for school?" These thoughts kept running through his mind. He stood there for about a minute, looking at the grandma’s painful expression and the cold eyes of the passers-by. Finally, his kindness defeated his hesitation. He took a deep breath and walked quickly to the grandma, bending down to help his stand up gently. 注意：（1）续写词数应为 80 个左右；（2）请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Li Hua picked up the vegetables and cleaned the dust off the grandma’s clothes. 高一英语试卷第 5 页 共 5 页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
