These are Britain’s best country inns (旅馆) for you to choose from. Ship Inn, Fife The picturesque stretch of coastline along the East Neuk of Fife is home to this friendly waterside inn, whose cheerful bar and six wooden bedrooms have a fresh coast feel. By day you can explore the attractive fishing villages that line the coast; and by night sink into an armchair in the Ship Inn’s bar. The Star, Yorksbire For a pleasant winter break, the only thing better than a country inn is a thatched (茅草屋顶的) country inn and The Star is a rare and picture-perfect example. The guests can stay in comfortable rooms designed in country style, with natural stone and wood. The food in the restaurant is a selection of what is typically served in local pubs. You could even join in a wrestling match and the pub’s owner is captain of the local wrestling club. Acorn Inn, Dorset Acorn in Dorset, this 16th-century coaching inn, is featured in Thomas Hardy’s Tess of the D’Urbervilles under the name “The Sow and Acorn” and the author would find the inn little changed today, with its wooden floors and roaring fires. There’s a wood-beamed (木梁) bar with an excellent restaurant, celebrated for its locally sourced produce. Lord Crewe Arms, County Durham If you love the idea of staying at an inn but still want a touch of luxury, book a room at the Lord Crewe Arms. Set in the honey-stone village of Blanchland in the beautiful landscape of the North Pennine hills, the inn has a history dating back to 1165. Stone floors and wood beams give it plenty of warmth and character, the rooms have luxurious beds to sink into, and there’s a highly regarded restaurant, too. 21. What kind of holiday makers may prefer Ship Inn, Fife? A. Sports lovers. B. Movie fans. C. Novel readers. D. Beach goers. 22. Which inn has kept its style for several hundred years? A. The Star, Yorkshire B. Acorn Inn, Dorset C. Lord Crewe Arms, County Durham D. Ship Inn, Fife 23. What do the four inns have in common? A. They have a long history. B. They bear grass roofs. C. Their rooms feature wood. D. They offer the same menu. B I started playing volleyball for two reasons. Primarily, my parents wanted me to try out a sport that could make me enjoy workouts. I also knew that my mom loved playing it in Venezuela when she was younger. I thought maybe I could feel the same. Indeed, I fell in love with it after just a couple of practices. In between practices, I would stretch (伸出) my arms out, hold my hands together and push my wrists down to try to build muscle memory of the perfect platform. I would catch the ball, focusing on forming a triangular (三角形的) shape each time, with my right hand guiding the movement. Each time I’d release the ball upwards, I knew I was one try closer to getting it right. I worked tirelessly because I wanted to get better. I wanted to be great one day. However, I lacked the head start most girls had. I started playing years after many other girls had. I was thrown into the deep end when the club where I practiced placed me on their most competitive team for my age group mid-season. Most of the girls did not welcome me. While this competition within and between teams was sometimes productive, it proved to be unhealthy. It was dangerous when it reached a tipping point. By the end of my freshman year of high school, I’d reached my breaking point. Over four years, I only touched a volleyball a couple of times and only in casual settings. When the opportunity came to play with one of my best friends in a series of friendly matches, I hesitated. I eventually agreed, making it a point not to be so hard on myself. Volleyball finally brought the same enjoyment that had made me fall in love with it. I look forward to every opportunity I have to play now. I expect there will be more volleyball sessions. 24. Why did the author begin to play volleyball? A. She dreamed of becoming a great player. B. She was forced by her mother to play. C. She wanted to play matches with friends. D. She was encouraged to find joy in exercise. 25. What did the author do to improve her volleyball skills? A. She practiced the correct hand position. B. She stretched her arms for strength. C. She released the ball higher each time. D. She caught the ball to check her hand shape. 26. What can be inferred about the author’s competitive team experience? A. It improved her skills quickly. B. It taught her to handle teammates. C. It kept her away from volleyball. D. It proved that hard work pays off. 27. What does the author’s volleyball experience teach us? A. First love is hard to forget. B. Joy returns when you ease up on yourself. C. Pressure can sometimes break a person. D. A strict coach makes a great player. C Birds do it. Bees do it. Even animals without central nervous systems do it. And of course babies do it — yet less than their exhausted parents would like. But, despite its universality, sleep remains a mysterious process. Indeed, although sleep seems to be crucial for physical and mental well-being, scientists are still trying to work out its biological logic. Research points to a theory, which suggests that the brain needs to “reset” periodically to keep the mind in good operating order — with exciting hints that sleep’s effect on the gut (肠道) might also come into play. Not only is getting enough sleep satisfying in its own right, but it also has a broader effect on health. Evidence indicates that people who sleep less than six hours per night are more likely to develop Alzheimer’s disease than people who sleep longer. A theory first proposed more than ten years ago holds that sleep helps the brain to clear out tau protein, which contributes to this neurodegenerative (神经退行) condition. But in the past years, a fierce scientific debate has arisen about the physiological (生理的) details of this connection. The resulting uncertainty has made it more difficult to take advantage of the relation between sleep and Alzheimer’s to develop strategies to prevent the happening of this disastrous condition. Sleep can also help to address a less-severe and more-common health issue than dementia (痴呆): the desire to lose weight. A leading sleep specialist explains how longer sleep leads to people consuming fewer calories and losing kilograms. And weight loss lowers the risk of sleep apnoea, in which a person’s breathing during sleep is interrupted, and, in turn, lessens the chances of developing type 2 diabetes. Sleep scientists have no shortage of questions to explore. These include the link between night-time illumination (照明) and mood disorders, the disappointing finding that napping might increase the risk of heart disease and the confirmation that early morning university classes discourage attendance and reduce learning. 28. What is the primary purpose of paragraph 1? A. To highlight the universal nature of sleep. B. To explain why babies sleep less than adults. C. To introduce the biological definition of sleep. D. To compare the sleep habits of different species. 29. Why is it hard to develop Alzheimer’s prevention strategies based on sleep research? A. Proteins harm sleep indirectly. B. Short sleep prevents Alzheimer’s. C. No debate is over their connection. D. The sleep-Alzheimer’s link is unclear. 30. What can be inferred according to the last paragraph? A. Mood disorders directly lead to heart disease. B. Early morning classes are effective for weight loss. C. Some common habits carry unexpected health risks. D. Night-time illumination is beneficial for mental health. 31. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Why Babies Need More Sleep B. Where Napping Benefits Our Body C. What Scientists Learn about Sleep D. How to Prevent Alzheimer’s Disease D Why do we cry happy tears? Tears are usually seen as a sign of sadness, but people often cry during joyful moments like weddings, births and reunions. These “happy tears” seem contradictory, yet they show how the human brain deals with intense emotion. Crying is a biological response to emotional overload, making no difference between positive and negative feelings. Strong emotions activate the brain’s feeling-related system. The amygdala (杏仁体) works as an emotional alarm bell to sense excitement and send signals to the body. It further activates the hypothalamus（下丘脑）, which controls involuntary（无意识的） actions such as heartbeat and tear production. The anterior cingulate cortex (前扣带脑皮质) helps manage mixed emotions, explaining why great joy can cause reactions connected with sadness. Scientists regard happy crying as emotional homeostasis. It helps people return to calmness after extreme excitement. Crying relaxes the body by slowing heart rates and easing tension after adrenaline (肾上腺素) rises. It balances opposite feelings — relief from fear, gratitude after hardship, and pride from struggle. In fact, happy tears seldom come from pure joy. They arise from mixed feelings, known as a double-balance response. When people feel joyful, the brain will recall past memories of loss or struggle, making them emotional. Humans are the only animals that cry out of emotion. This ability developed as a silent way of communication. Happy tears show sincerity, build social bonds, bring empathy and shared emotional relief. Above all, they prove human emotions are complex, rich and meaningful. 32. What can we learn about crying from paragraph 2? A. The amygdala controls our heart rate and tears. B. Brain structures produce emotional tears jointly. C. Happy feelings cannot activate the brain system. D. Tears only appear when people feel sad and painful. 33. What does the underlined word “homeostasis” most probably mean? A. internal balance.

It’s important to give a specific reason for your hurt feelings so that you can express this to the person who hurt you.

After you’ve expressed your hurt feelings, give the other person a chance to respond. Listen to what they have to say with your full attention.

Jason, a 58-year-old steelworker with rough hands and deep lines on his forehead, walked slowly from the hospital canteen back to the cancer ward. His wife, Linda, lay in a very clean white room. Her face, once full of life, was now pale because of pain. The doctor had given both good and bad news before: an operation to remove part of her lung could save her, but the $30,000 needed for the surgery looked like a mountain impossible to climb. Deep in thought and feeling helpless, Jason walked past the hospital garden. As he did so, his boot hit something hard. A black backpack was half-hidden under a bush. He looked around — no one — and bent down to pick it up. When he looked inside, he almost stopped breathing: piles of hundred-dollar bills. A worn envelope stuck out of a side pocket. It was addressed to “Dr. Michael Chen, Oncology (肿瘤学) Department.” For a second, Jason’s fingers tightened on the money. This money could save Linda. But then he thought about where the envelope was going — to a doctor who probably helped people in great need every day. What if this money was for someone else’s wife, someone else’s battle to live? Jason made up his mind. He turned toward the building where the hospital’s offices were, the backpack feeling heavy in his hands. The person working at the lost-and-found desk looked at him doubtfully until she counted the money inside. “You’re a very kind man, sir,” she said quietly, writing down his contact details. That night, as he sat by Linda’s bed, gently touching her thin hair, there was a knock at the door. A tall man in a messy raincoat stood in the doorway, holding a camera and a notebook to report the news. “Jason,” he said softly, “I’m David from the local newspaper. I heard about what you did today.” 注意：（1）续写词数应为150左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: David spent hours interviewing Jason, asking why he did so.__________________ _____________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2:The next day, many readers were moved and lent a helping hand._______________ _____________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高一期中考试英语参考答案 一．听力（每小题1.5分，满分30分） 1-5 ACBAC 6-10 BAACB 11-15 CBABB 16-20 ABCCA 二．阅读理解（每小题2.5分满分50分） 21-23.DBC 24-27 DACB 28-31 AD C C 32-35 B AAB 36-40 FB G CE 三完形（每小题1分，满分15分） 41-45 DABC B 46-50．C A D B D 51-55．AA CDB 四．语法填空 （每小题1. 5分, 满分15分） 56. that/which 57.

The task included keeping an English diary every day, reading one English short passage aloud each morning, and learning 15 new words daily. I also watched two English movies and wrote a short review for each. This homework brought me a lot. It not only helped me build a regular learning habit but also greatly improved my vocabulary and reading ability. More importantly, I became much braver to speak English, which made me truly feel the fun of learning it. It was a meaningful and valuable experience. Thank you! David spent hours interviewing Jason, asking why he did so. Jason rubbed his rough hands and sighed softly, “That money wasn’t mine. What if it was the last hope for another family? Linda wouldn’t want me to take it, either.” His voice trembled as he glanced at his wife, whose eyes were now slightly open, tears sliding down her pale cheeks. David nodded repeatedly, his notebook filled with words that reflected a man’s unwavering integrity. Before leaving, he took a photo of Jason, firmly patting him on the shoulder. “I will publish your story in the newspaper. It will touch many hearts.” The next day, many readers were moved and lent a helping hand. The newspaper’s front page featured Jason’s photo with the headline “A Heart of Gold in the Rain.” By noon, the hospital’s donation box was overflowing with envelopes. A local charity called, offering to cover half the surgery cost. Even Dr. Michael Chen, the intended recipient of the backpack, visited Linda’s ward, saying, “I will call on medical staff to donate money for your wife as well.” A week later, with the raised funds, Linda’s operation went smoothly. As Jason held her hand in the recovery room, he knew that doing the right thing had brought them their own miracle. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
