His work continues the tradition of the English watchmakers of the 18th and 19th centuries. Today this tradition is almost dead. Daniels is the only man in the world who designs his own watches makes all the pars himself and then puts them together. A Daniels watch is the product of his hands alone. One of his watches which is now in an American museum took 3500 hours to complete. He usually makes one watch a year. Each one is inscribed (刻) with “Daniels London” and costs about $10,000. Of course these are not ordinary watches — they are very beautiful and will last three centuries. George Daniels has always been attracted by clocks and watches. When he was five he used to take his father’s clock apart and put it back together again. At school he used to repair his teachers watches. He is now internationally famous and many people would like him to make watches for them. But most of them will be disappointed. He chooses his customers very carefully indeed.

Take this simple sentence as an example: Let’s eat Dad! Without a comma, Dad becomes the food. Add comma, and Dad becomes a partner at dinner: Let’s eat, Dad! The comma enables people to have a better understanding of the sentence. Here’s another example: Tom said Sarah stole the cake. Here, Sarah is the thief. But add a pair of commas, and Tom becomes the thief: Tom, said Sarah, stole the cake. The examples above clearly show that people cannot do without commas in writing. Yet, the comma came from oral speeches. Long ago, most people could not read. They listened to the news or stories told by the people who gave speeches. The comma began as something to mark the resting place in a sentence. When reading, the speakers knew where to stop and take a breath. In writing, commas are like shining red lights on the road. They require that you wait a moment before continuing. And don’t add a comma when you feel like it. There are rules that people shall not break. Learn them, and you won’t be eating anyone or making wrong changes. 4. Without commas, life would be ________. A. frightening B. puzzling C. relaxing D. interesting 5. The author uses two examples in the passage to________. A. tell jokes to readers B. show the importance of using commas C. tell stories to readers D. show the difficulty of using commas 6. According to the last paragraph, we use commas by following________. A. our feelings B. our speeches C. certain rules D. some facts 7. What is the best title for the passage? A. Commas Make Sentences Clear. B. Commas Make English Interesting. C. Commas Make Writing Easy. D. Commas Make Speeches Surprising. 【答案】4. B 5. B 6. C 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了逗号在句子中的重要性及其使用规则。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。 根据第一段“What would life be like without commas (逗号)? It would be quite confusing. (没有逗号的生活会是什么样子？这将是相当令人困惑的。)”可知，没有逗号，生活会变得令人困惑。故选B。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。 根据第一段“The comma enables people to have a better understanding of the sentence. (逗号使人们能够更好地理解句子。)”和第三段“The examples above clearly show that people cannot do without commas in writing. (上面的例子清楚地表明，人们在写作中离不开逗号)”可知，作者在文章中用了两个例子来说明使用逗号的重要性。故选B。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。 根据最后一段“And don’t add a comma when you feel like it. There are rules that people shall not break. (当你想加逗号的时候，不要加逗号。有些规则是人们不能违反的)”可知，使用逗号要遵循一定的规则。故选C。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。 根据第一段的“The comma enables people to have a better understanding of the sentence. (逗号使人们能够更好地理解句子。)”以及全文内容可知，文章主要讲述了逗号在句子中的重要性，它可以使句子更加清晰易懂。因此，最好的标题是“Commas Make Sentences Clear. (逗号使句子清晰。)”。故选A。 C Scientists in Australia thought they had developed a new tracking device to help them monitor magpies (喜鹊), but these birds had other ideas. Australian magpies are medium-sized black and white birds from the same bird“family” as crows and bluejays. They are known to be quite clever. They live in groups of up to 12 birds and work together to defend the area they live in. The purpose of the scientists’ experiment was to learn more about how far they travel each day and how their social behaviors are influenced by sex, age, and rank. Besides, the scientists were eager to test the newly developed tracking device. Most trackers are too big to fit on small and medium sized birds, and small trackers tend to be limited when it comes to data storage, battery life, and reusability. The new tracker,weighing less than 1 gram, was designed to overcome these problems. Attached to a backpack-like harness (背带) which could not be removed easily, the device can re-charge wirelessly and transmit (传输) data wirelessly. The scientists placed trackers on five magpies using their special harnesses. Things started to fall apart almost immediately. Within 10 minutes of fitting the final tracker, an adult female without a tracker tried to remove the harness from a younger bird and eventually succeeded. This pattern was repeated in the following hours, and by the third day none of the birds had trackers anymore. Scientists refer to this as“rescue behavior,” and it happens when a helper tries to free another individual in trouble and with no obvious direct benefit to the rescuing individual.They think this is the first time rescue behavior has been reported for Australian magpies.However, they aren’t sure if the same individual removed all of the harnesses or if others offered help. The team didn’t get the data they wanted, but their experiment still produced interesting results. That’s how science works sometimes. The scientists need to try, again to figure out a good way to track these clever birds. 8. What can we learn about Australian magpies from paragraph 2? A. They outsmart crows. B. They are social species. C. They are rarely spotted. D. They learn from each other. 9. What is a big advantage of the new tracking device? A. It can work without wires. B. It can be applied to all birds. C. It doesn’t come off the birds. D. It doesn’t need to be re-charged. 10. What happened to the magpies after the trackers were attached to them? A. They couldn’t fly as normal. B. They were warned by other magpies. C. They helped each other to remove the trackers. D. They were driven out of their home by other adult magpies. 11. Which can be the best title for the text? A. Magpies Teach Scientists an Unexpected Lesson B. Climate Change Makes Magpies More Difficult C. The Trackers Help Magpies Get Used to Nature D. Magpies Are Adjusting to the Trackers on Their Bodies 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了澳大利亚科学家为监测喜鹊，给五只喜鹊安装了新研发的不到1克的追踪器，却被其他喜鹊在三天内拆掉，这或为喜鹊救援行为，实验虽未达目的却有新发现。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“They live in groups of up to 12 birds and work together to defend the area they live in.(它们通常以12只为一群生活在一起，并共同协作来保卫它们所栖息的区域)”可知，澳大利亚喜鹊是群居动物。故选B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Attached to a backpack-like harness (背带) which could not be removed easily, the device can re-charge wirelessly and transmit (传输) data wirelessly.(它被安装在一个类似背包的背带上（无法轻易取下），可以无线充电并无线传输数据)”可知，这种新型追踪设备的最大优点是无需电线即可工作。故选A。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“Within 10 minutes of fitting the final tracker, an adult female without a tracker tried to remove the harness from a younger bird and eventually succeeded. This pattern was repeated in the following hours, and by the third day none of the birds had trackers anymore.(在安装最后一个追踪器后的 10 分钟内，一只没有追踪器的成年雌鸟试图从一只较年轻的鸟身上取下背带，最终成功了。这种模式在接下来的几个小时内不断重复，到第三天，所有的鸟都没有追踪器了)”可知，当追踪器被安装在喜鹊身上之后，它们相互帮助，把追踪器取了下来。故选C。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Scientists in Australia thought they had developed a new tracking device to help them monitor magpies (喜鹊), but these birds had other ideas.(澳大利亚的科学家们原本以为他们已经研发出了一种新的追踪设备，能够帮助他们监测喜鹊的行为，但这些鸟儿却另有打算)”结合文章主要说明了澳大利亚科学家为监测喜鹊，给五只喜鹊安装了新研发的不到1克的追踪器，却被其他喜鹊在三天内拆掉，这或为喜鹊救援行为，实验虽未达目的却有新发现。可知，A选项“喜鹊让科学家们有了一个意想不到的发现”最符合文章标题。故选A。 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。 Can you play basketball?

Once, my big Jeep broke down on the side of the road, and I waited there for nearly three hours. I put big signs on the car windows, which read NEED A JACK (千斤顶), and even promised to pay for help. But no one stopped. Just when I decided to give up, a small truck with a Mexican family stopped by, and the father ran out quickly. He looked at my car carefully, then called his daughter over — she could speak English. He told me through her that he had a jack, but it was too small for my big Jeep, so we needed something to support it. Then he took a saw (锯子) from his truck, and cut a piece of wood from a big log on the roadside. We rolled the wood over, put his jack on it, and it worked perfectly. I started to take the wheel off, but unluckily, I broke his tire iron. But he didn't worry at all. He gave it to his wife, and she drove down the road quickly to buy a new one. She came back just 15 minutes later. We finished the work at last, and I felt so relaxed and thankful. We were both dirty and covered with sweat. His wife even prepared a pot of water for us to wash our hands. I tried to give the man a 20-dollar bill to thank him, but he refused to take it. So I walked to the truck quietly, and put the money into his wife's hand. I asked the little girl where they lived. "Mexico," she answered. They were in Oregon now, because her parents would work on a fruit farm for a few weeks to make money. Then they would go back home. 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。 When I was about to say goodbye, the girl asked if I’d had lunch. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After they left, I got into my Jeep and opened the paper bag. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 When I was about to say goodbye, the girl asked if I’d had lunch. I told her I hadn’t had lunch because I’d been waiting here for help for nearly three hours. The girl suggested to her parents that we have lunch together. Their truck happened to have some food and some things for the picnic. So we ate together in a vacant lot by the side of the road. During that time, I told about what had happened to me and how I felt. They shared interesting stories. After lunch, the girl’s mother put a paper bag of fruit in my jeep. I showed my gratitude again and we said goodbye to each other. After they left, I got into my jeep and opened the paper bag. There are some delicate fruits in the paper bag. I was surprised to find the money I had quietly left them. At the same time, there was a note written by a girl, which read “We are very happy to be able to help you. We have encountered many difficulties and been disappointed. But we met a lot of helpful people, which made us feel very warm. To help others with one’s own ability is also a kind of lifting a finger. The beauty of life comes from these lifting a finger. I hope you have a good life and a happy mood.” This made me very moved. 【解析】 【分析】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了去年作者汽车出现了三次故障，大多数人都懒得帮忙，作者对此感到很厌烦。有一次，他的汽车又出故障了。他在路边求助了接近3个小时，但是没有人停下来帮忙。就在打算放弃的时候，一个过路的墨西哥家庭停下来，提供了帮助。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写作者和墨西哥家庭一块儿吃午饭的过程。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写作者在这一家人离开后，在纸袋里发现什么，以及自己的感受。 2.续写线索：吃午餐——交流——感谢——上车——发现东西——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①分享：share/have a share in ②发现：find/spot 情绪类 ①感谢：show one’s gratitude/showing one’s appreciation/be grateful ②失望的：disappointed/despondent 【点睛】[高分句型1] I told her I hadn’t had lunch because I’d been waiting here for help for nearly three hours.(由because引导的原因状语从句) [高分句型2].But we met a lot of helpful people, which made us feel very warm.(由关系代词which引导非限制性定语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 莆田十五中2025-2026学年下学期期中质量检测 高一英语 第一部分: 听力（共两节，每小题1.5分，满分30分） 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话读两遍。 1.

His work continues the tradition of the English watchmakers of the 18th and 19th centuries. Today this tradition is almost dead. Daniels is the only man in the world who designs his own watches makes all the pars himself and then puts them together. A Daniels watch is the product of his hands alone. One of his watches which is now in an American museum took 3500 hours to complete. He usually makes one watch a year. Each one is inscribed (刻) with “Daniels London” and costs about $10,000. Of course these are not ordinary watches — they are very beautiful and will last three centuries. George Daniels has always been attracted by clocks and watches. When he was five he used to take his father’s clock apart and put it back together again. At school he used to repair his teachers watches. He is now internationally famous and many people would like him to make watches for them. But most of them will be disappointed. He chooses his customers very carefully indeed. It must be someone who understands the subject,” he says “not someone who will leave the watch in the drawer and only show it to dinner quests.” 1. Who is George Daniels? A. One of the few who repaired watches in the old days. B. The only man who collects old watches in the world. C. One of the few remaining watch designers in the world. D. The only man who designs and makes watches by himself. 2. Which of the following shows Daniels’ early interest in watches? A. He played with his father’s clock. B. He taught people how to repair watches. C. He made a watch for an American museum. D. He made beautiful and long-lasting watches. 3. George Daniels makes watches for those who _________. A. can afford his watches B. may want to show them to others C. appreciate his watches D. enjoy his watch-making process B What would life be like without commas (逗号)? It would be quite confusing. Take this simple sentence as an example: Let’s eat Dad! Without a comma, Dad becomes the food. Add comma, and Dad becomes a partner at dinner: Let’s eat, Dad! The comma enables people to have a better understanding of the sentence. Here’s another example: Tom said Sarah stole the cake. Here, Sarah is the thief. But add a pair of commas, and Tom becomes the thief: Tom, said Sarah, stole the cake. The examples above clearly show that people cannot do without commas in writing. Yet, the comma came from oral speeches. Long ago, most people could not read. They listened to the news or stories told by the people who gave speeches. The comma began as something to mark the resting place in a sentence. When reading, the speakers knew where to stop and take a breath. In writing, commas are like shining red lights on the road. They require that you wait a moment before continuing. And don’t add a comma when you feel like it. There are rules that people shall not break. Learn them, and you won’t be eating anyone or making wrong changes. 4. Without commas, life would be ________. A. frightening B. puzzling C. relaxing D. interesting 5. The author uses two examples in the passage to________. A. tell jokes to readers B. show the importance of using commas C. tell stories to readers D. show the difficulty of using commas 6. According to the last paragraph, we use commas by following________. A. our feelings B. our speeches C. certain rules D. some facts 7. What is the best title for the passage? A. Commas Make Sentences Clear. B. Commas Make English Interesting. C. Commas Make Writing Easy. D. Commas Make Speeches Surprising. C Scientists in Australia thought they had developed a new tracking device to help them monitor magpies (喜鹊), but these birds had other ideas. Australian magpies are medium-sized black and white birds from the same bird“family” as crows and bluejays. They are known to be quite clever. They live in groups of up to 12 birds and work together to defend the area they live in. The purpose of the scientists’ experiment was to learn more about how far they travel each day and how their social behaviors are influenced by sex, age, and rank. Besides, the scientists were eager to test the newly developed tracking device. Most trackers are too big to fit on small and medium sized birds, and small trackers tend to be limited when it comes to data storage, battery life, and reusability. The new tracker,weighing less than 1 gram, was designed to overcome these problems. Attached to a backpack-like harness (背带) which could not be removed easily, the device can re-charge wirelessly and transmit (传输) data wirelessly. The scientists placed trackers on five magpies using their special harnesses. Things started to fall apart almost immediately. Within 10 minutes of fitting the final tracker, an adult female without a tracker tried to remove the harness from a younger bird and eventually succeeded. This pattern was repeated in the following hours, and by the third day none of the birds had trackers anymore. Scientists refer to this as“rescue behavior,” and it happens when a helper tries to free another individual in trouble and with no obvious direct benefit to the rescuing individual.They think this is the first time rescue behavior has been reported for Australian magpies.However, they aren’t sure if the same individual removed all of the harnesses or if others offered help. The team didn’t get the data they wanted, but their experiment still produced interesting results. That’s how science works sometimes. The scientists need to try, again to figure out a good way to track these clever birds. 8. What can we learn about Australian magpies from paragraph 2? A. They outsmart crows. B. They are social species. C. They are rarely spotted. D. They learn from each other. 9. What is a big advantage of the new tracking device? A. It can work without wires. B. It can be applied to all birds. C. It doesn’t come off the birds. D. It doesn’t need to be re-charged. 10. What happened to the magpies after the trackers were attached to them? A. They couldn’t fly as normal. B. They were warned by other magpies. C. They helped each other to remove the trackers. D. They were driven out of their home by other adult magpies. 11. Which can be the best title for the text? A. Magpies Teach Scientists an Unexpected Lesson B. Climate Change Makes Magpies More Difficult C. The Trackers Help Magpies Get Used to Nature D. Magpies Are Adjusting to the Trackers on Their Bodies 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。 Can you play basketball? Some people may think it is too competitive.
