B I was a volunteer with the city of Milpitas and was studying at Mission College.One night after going to class,,I was heading home and decided to stop off at a burrito(墨西哥卷饼)restaurant..I got my burrito and started to head for my car when I was approached by a homeless man.He was very dirty and obviously very hungry.He asked me for some change to buy a little food.As I was pulling some change out,I had an idea. I asked him to follow me back into the burrito restaurant to order.He was ashamed of the way he looked and said he did not want to go in there.But I insisted.When he finally followed me in,the people behind the counter refused to let him in,but I told them that I was buying him dinner and he had a right to be there.After we argued over it for a while,they finally gave in.It seemed like he was relieved a bit to be sitting at a table.I asked him to order whatever he wanted.But he only ordered a burrito. For someone who has been on the fringes of society,he was very surprised at my generosity. But to me,it was what any "human being"should do or at least offer.You had to be there to see the look in his face.It reminded me when I was young,my mom brought out a big birthday cake for me on my birthday,with all the candy,chocolate and goodies that we were about to eat.I think he felt special,like he was getting attention,something that I could see he hadn't experienced in a long time. I often think about this story because,to me,it's not just about helping someone out by feeding them.It's more about giving them the respect and dignity of being a human being and allowing them to feel good about themselves. 4.Why did the homeless man approach the author? A.To ask for a lift. B.To beg for money. C.To request a burrito.D.To seek company. 5.What does the underlined word "it"in paragraph 2 refer to? A.Where to sit in the restaurant.

B.Fighting against the world of hunger. C.Encouraging acts of bravery. D.Paying attention to the homeless. C When you hear "I have a dream...",one of the most famous speeches in human history,you'll never have the idea how the audience on the scene were fueled by emotional intelligence.When Martin Luther King Jr.presented his dream,he chose language that would stir the hearts of his audience. Delivering this electrifying message required emotional intelligence-the ability to recognize, understand,and manage emotions. Emotional intelligence has been highly recommended by leaders,policymakers,and educators as the solution to a wide range of social problems.Emotional intelligence is important,but the uncontrolled enthusiasm has obscured (a dark side.New evidence shows that when people sharpen their emotional skills,they become better at controlling others.When you're good at controlling your own emotions,you can hide your true feelings.When you know what others are feeling,you can motivate them to act against their own best interests. Social scientists have begun to document this dark side of emotional intelligence.In a research conducted by Professor Jochen Menges from University of Toronto,when a leader gave an inspiring speech filled with emotion,the audience was less likely to examine the message closely and remember the content.Ironically(讽刺的是)，audience members were so moved by the speech that they claimed to recall more of it. The authors call this the awestruck effect,but it might just as easily be described as the dumbstruck effect.One observer reflected that Hitler's persuasive impact came from his ability to strategically express emotions-he would "tear open his heart"-and these emotions affected his followers to the point that they would“stop thinking critically and just emote(夸张地表达感情).” Leaders who master emotions can rob us of our abilities to reason.If their values are out of step with our own,the results can be destructive.New evidence suggests that when people have selfish motives,emotional intelligence becomes a weapon for controlling others. Throwing light on this dark side of emotional intelligence is one mission of a research team led by University College London professor Martin Kilduff.According to these experts,emotional intelligence helps people disguise ()one set of emotions while expressing another for personal gain.Professor Kilduffs team writes,"The strategic disguise of one's own emotions and the controlling of others' emotions for strategic ends are behaviors evident not only on Shakespeare's stage but also in the offices and corridors where power and influence are traded." Of course,people aren't always using emotional intelligence for evil ends.More often than not, high EQ is helpful in most aspects of our life.Emotional intelligence-like any skill-can be used for good or evil.So whether it is a gift or a curse lies in your hand. 2025学年第二学期期中测试试卷高一英语第3页共8页 8.Why does the author mention Martin Luther King,Jr?

They discovered bursts of energy in an unexpected part of space,which they named"chorus waves". These waves got their name because they vihrate (at the same rates as the sounds we can hear. When changed into hearable signals,they sound just like birds chirping()cheerfully. Scientists have been aware of chorus waves in space for years.However,the latest study brought a big surprise.The researchers found that these waves exist as far as 100,000 kilometers away from Earth. This is the greatest distance at which chorus waves have ever been detected from a planet. Chengming Liu,a study writer from Beihang University,stated in an email,"Chorus waves are one of the strongest and most significant waves in space."Allison Jaynes,a space physicist not participating in this study,commented,"This opens up a lot of new questions about the physics that could be possible in this area.” The newfound chorus waves were detected in an area where Earth's magnetic (field extends. Scientists didn't expect to find them there.Now,they're eager to figure out how these unique waves form.Jaynes added,"We surely need to find more of these events." Scientists still are not sure how chorus waves develop,but they believe Earth's magnetic field is related to it.In the past,radio antennas (detected chorus waves.For example,in the 1960s,an Antarctic research station picked them up.NASA's Van Allen Probes also heard the chirping sounds,but from a closer distance.The most recent chorus waves were detected by NASA's Magnetospheric Multiscale satellites,which were sent into space in 2015 to study Earth and the sun's magnetic fields. Chorus waves have also been found near other planets including Jupiter and Saturn.The waves can 2025学年第二学期期中测试试卷高一英语第4页共8页 produce high-energy electrons.That means they can be a danger to satellite communications.The researchers said their findings suggest that chorus waves might be found everywhere in the magnetic fields of planets. 12.What makes chorus waves get their name? A.The place where they are first discovered. B.Their vibration rates like hearable sounds. C.The way they affect satellite signals. D.Their movement speed in space. 13.What can be inferred from the scientists'comments? A.Further research is crucial. B.Wave creation is clear. C.Discoveries lack importance. D.Waves pose satellite risks. 14.Which detected the chorus waves at the greatest distance from Earth? A.NASA's Van Allen Probes. B...Scientists from Beihang University. C.An Antarctic research station in the 1960s. D.NASA's Magnetospheric Multiscale satellites. 15.Which is the best title for the text? A.The Naming Story of Chorus Waves B.Chorus Waves:A New Threat to Satellites C.Revealing the Mysteries of Chorus Waves D.Scientists'Great Debate on Chorus Waves 第二节七选五（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据下面短文，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。 Film has seen great progress over the years.While actors and directors often receive most of the praise,the heroes behind the screen are the musicians who make a film unforgettable. 16 This is the kind of music we call a film score ()It has developed through several stages. In the silent film era,music was used to fill the silence.17 They had to respond in real time to the changing scenes,adjusting their music to match the mood.This was the early form of film scoring. The shift from live performance to written scores began in the early 1900s.French composer() Camille Saint-Saens was the first to write original music specially for film.This marked a new stage of film scoring.18They worked closely with directors.As sound technology advanced,film scoring became an important part of the film-making process. 1b By the mid-20th century,they grew to include rock,pop,hip-hop,and electronic music. Films like Saturday Night Fever used popular music to define both character and culture.In science fiction films,electronic sounds were used to create a sense of the unknown.
