The total population has dropped by 40 percent in the last 15 years. Surprisingly, even scientists haven’t given much attention to giraffes. We are learning more about their ecology(生态), but what we know is still way behind what we know about other species. “It’s a silent extinction,” said Dr. Julian Fennessy, a wildlife scientist. “The main reason for the smaller number of giraffes is their loss of living places,” said Fennessy, “as an increasing part of land is used for farming. But hunting also has a big influence.” “You might wonder why hunters would focus on giraffes. First of all, once a giraffe is brought down, there is lots of meat with a small amount of effort. Besides, there is another thing encouraging the hunting. In Tanzania, Fennessy says, the latest word on the street is that eating giraffe meat could cure AIDS. Fresh giraffe heads and bones can be sold at prices of up to $140 per piece. Another widespread misconception about giraffes is that they are everywhere. Look at kids’ books which are full of giraffes. They are always in zoo collections. They can be seen easily, so you don’t think we have to worry about them. But the truth is that they are in danger of extinction. There is a lack of right and true data. Fennessy and other researchers are now pulling together the data needed to improve the situation of the entire giraffe species and all nine subspecies(亚种). The information will be used to change the giraffe’s listing on the International Union for Conservation of Nature Red list, which now lists the species as of “least concern” but two subspecies as “endangered”. “It’s a lot of work to gather the necessary information,” Fennessy says. “And several other giraffe subspecies will be recommended for endangered listings next year or the year after.” He hopes that the world will finally start to take notice of how endangered these beloved animals have become. 1. By saying “It’s a silent extinction”, Fennessy tells us that ________. A. giraffes are unpopular in Africa B. the giraffes is always silent in daily life C. the ecology of Africa needs more attention D. the extinction happens without enough attention 2. The misconception in Paragraph 3 can be corrected by ________. A. preventing illegal hunting in Africa B. rewriting kids’ books about giraffes C. providing reliable data about giraffes D. spreading scientific knowledge of AIDS 3. The final purpose of Fennessy’s great efforts is to ________. A. collect more information about giraffes B. raise public awareness of protecting giraffes C. prove giraffes will disappear in the next few years D. work with the International Union for Conservation of Nature B When it comes to generation gap (代沟), we usually think of different tastes in music, or pastimes. But now the generation gap is handwriting. After one teacher in Tennessee discovered that she had students who couldn’t read what she was writing on the board, she posted it on the Internet saying that handwriting should be taught in schools. Others who are against it claim that handwriting has become out of time in our modern world. Typed words have become a main form of communication. Once a practical skill, handwriting is no longer used by most of Americans. It is no longer taught in schools, and some claim that the time that it would take to teach it could be put to better use, for example, by teaching the technical skills. But even in today’s world there are still plenty of reasons to pick up a pen and write on the paper. In America, signatures (签字) by hand are still often required, for example, signing for a registered letter and buying a house. And original signatures are much more difficult to fake (伪造). There is also strong evidence that writing by hand is good for the mind. It makes a different part of the brain active and improves fine moving skills in young children. People are also more likely to remember what they write by hand than what they type, and the process of writing by hand has been shown to stimulate ideas. Not only those, studies have shown that kids who write by hand learn to read and spell earlier than those who don’t. Yes, we live in a modern world, but we live in a modern world of basic and important values. 4. What did the teacher find in her class? A. Her students were too lazy to follow her class. B. Her handwriting was too terrible to understand. C. There was something wrong with some students, eyes. D. Some students could not recognize her written words on the board. 5. Some people are against handwriting teaching because they think ________. A. handwriting is a practical skill B. handwriting is no longer popular C. it’s difficult to fake typed signatures D. handwriting is no longer used by Americans 6. How many advantages does handwriting have for the mind? A. 3. B. 4. C. 7. D. 8. 7. The underlined word “stimulate” in Paragraph 4 probably means ________. A. cause B. collect C. exchange D. influence C We have recently heard some interesting ways that 5G wireless technology might change our lives in the future. One project in Britain is testing this superfast technology, but not on humans. Instead, the experiment involves an unlikely group of Internet users—cows. The system connects the animals to 5G in an effort to automate the milking process. The project was developed by American technology company Cisco Systems. It is part of a Cisco-led program called 5G Rural First. Cisco says the program seeks to explore the future of 5G connectivity in rural communities around the world. Rural areas are expected to be the last to receive 5G service. Testing areas were set up on farms in three rural areas of England. The cows are equipped with 5G-connected devices that link up to a robotic milking system. The system uses sensors and machine learning to fully automate the process, System designers say the technology takes over after a cow feels ready to be milked and walks toward an automatic gate. The device is designed to recognize each individual cow. It then positions equipment to the right body position for milking. During the process, machines release food for the cow as a reward. One of the test areas is in the town of Shepton Mallet, in southwest England. There about 50 of the farm’s 180 cows are fitted with 5G smart collars and health-observing ear sensors. Project officials say the devices do not harm the cows and the sensors permit farmers to immediately identify any problem or health concerns. Other technology tools powering the 5G smart farms include automated brushes that work automatically when the cow rubs up against them. Sensors also control the amount of light to the cows’ living areas depending on the weather. And, an automatic feeding system makes sure the animals always get enough to eat. Nick Chrissos works on the project for Cisco. He said the system could connect every cow and every other animal on the whole farm. “That’s what 5G can do for farming—really release the power that we have within this farm, everywhere around the United Kingdom, and everywhere around the world.” 8. Why was the program developed? A. To produce more milk. B. To care for cows better. C. To try out 5G in rural areas. D. To improve 5G system on farms. 9. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The way 5G system controls the milking process. B. The way 5G system is set up on the farms. C. The reason why 5G is used on the cows. D. The reason why 5G is popular with the farms. 10. Which paragraph talks about extra technology applications on the 5G farm? A. Paragraph 1. B. Paragraph 2. C. Paragraph 4. D. Paragraph 5. 11. What may be the best title for the text? A. 5G Is Used Widely on the Cows of British Farms B. 5G Has Reached Rural Areas of the United Kingdom C. British Cows Connected to 5G Can Control Their Own Milking D. Farmers in British Are Using 5G to Improve Their Life D History Fair Competition Understanding history is vital to understanding ourselves as a people and as a nation.

Back in the 1930s, the country life was really tough. One day after dinner, Susan’s mother sat on the seat, announcing to the children the Golden Rule: “Treat others the way you want to be treated.” Susan reflected carefully and seriously on what her mother had said. She resolved that she would keep in mind and follow the rule. One Saturday afternoon, she went to farmer Jason’s inn (小旅馆) to get the pay for her mother’s washing for the guests there, which amounted to five dollars. She found Jason in the yard, who, as all the villagers knew, was selfish and mean. His eyes clouded with anger, as he had just finished a quarrel with one of his guests. He held in his hand an open wallet, full of bills. He barely noticed Susan until she made her request for the money. Instead of shouting at her, as usual, for troubling him when he was busy, he handed her a bank note. Feeling relieved for escaping from Jason so easily, Susan hurried out of the inn. When carefully putting the money into her pocket, she discovered that Jason had given her two bills instead of one, and her first reaction was joy at the unexpected prize. She looked around and there was nobody nearby to share her discovery. “It is mine. All mine.” she said to herself. “I will buy mum a new coat with it, and she can give her old one to sister Mary, and then Mary can go to the Sunday school with me next winter. I wonder if I can buy a pair of shoes for brother Tom too.” Just at that moment, she realized that Jason must have given the extra money to her by mistake, and therefore she had no right to own it. But a voice of temptation (诱惑) whispered, “He gave it, and you can keep it. He will never know, even if it is a mistake. ” As Susan hurried home, this conflict went on in her mind. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Susan’s face became red with embarrassment and annoyance. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2023-2024学年度下学期2023级 (高一) 假期自主测验 (一) (英语) 试题 (试卷满分：150分 考试时间：120分钟) 第一部分 听力 (共两节，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。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

D 2. C 3. B 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。本文说明了濒临灭绝的长颈鹿，由于缺乏人类的关注使得这些动物灭绝的更快。文章同时说明了长颈鹿数量减少的原因，以及研究人员正在收集必要的数据，以改善整个长颈鹿物种和所有9个亚种的情况，以此来提高公众保护长颈鹿的意识。 【1题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中The total population has dropped by 40 percent in the last 15 years. Surprisingly, even scientists haven’t given much attention to giraffes.(总数量在过去15年里下降了40%。令人惊讶的是，即使是科学家也没有对长颈鹿给予太多的关注)可知，通过说“这是一种无声的灭绝”，Fennessy想告诉我们，人类没有关注这些濒临灭绝的动物，使得这些动物灭绝的更快。故选D。 【2题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中But the truth is that they are in danger of extinction. There is a lack of right and true data.(但事实是它们正处于灭绝的危险中。缺乏正确和真实的数据)可知，可以通过提供有关长颈鹿的可靠数据来纠正误解。故选C。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中He hopes that the world will finally start to take notice of how endangered these beloved animals have become.(他希望世界最终会开始关注这些可爱的动物是如何濒临灭绝的)可知，Fennessy努力的最终目的是提高公众保护长颈鹿的意识。故选B。 【点睛】易错分析 第一题，By saying “It’s a silent extinction”, Fennessy tells us that ________. A. giraffes are unpopular in Africa B. the giraffes is always silent in daily life C. the ecology of Africa needs more attention D. the extinction happens without enough attention 本题容易根据We are learning more about their ecology, but what we know is still way behind what we know about other species.(我们对它们的生态了解越来越多，但我们对其他物种的了解仍然远远落后)而错选C选项，认为Fennessy想要告诉我们的是“非洲的生态需要更多的关注”，而本题的真正答案是根据第一段中The total population has dropped by 40 percent in the last 15 years. Surprisingly, even scientists haven’t given much attention to giraffes.(总数量在过去15年里下降了40%。令人惊讶的是，即使是科学家也没有对长颈鹿给予太多的关注)可知，通过说“这是一种无声的灭绝”，Fennessy想告诉我们，人类没有关注这些濒临灭绝的动物，使得这些动物灭绝的更快。故选D。 B When it comes to generation gap (代沟), we usually think of different tastes in music, or pastimes. But now the generation gap is handwriting. After one teacher in Tennessee discovered that she had students who couldn’t read what she was writing on the board, she posted it on the Internet saying that handwriting should be taught in schools. Others who are against it claim that handwriting has become out of time in our modern world. Typed words have become a main form of communication. Once a practical skill, handwriting is no longer used by most of Americans. It is no longer taught in schools, and some claim that the time that it would take to teach it could be put to better use, for example, by teaching the technical skills. But even in today’s world there are still plenty of reasons to pick up a pen and write on the paper. In America, signatures (签字) by hand are still often required, for example, signing for a registered letter and buying a house. And original signatures are much more difficult to fake (伪造). There is also strong evidence that writing by hand is good for the mind. It makes a different part of the brain active and improves fine moving skills in young children. People are also more likely to remember what they write by hand than what they type, and the process of writing by hand has been shown to stimulate ideas. Not only those, studies have shown that kids who write by hand learn to read and spell earlier than those who don’t. Yes, we live in a modern world, but we live in a modern world of basic and important values. 4. What did the teacher find in her class? A. Her students were too lazy to follow her class. B. Her handwriting was too terrible to understand. C. There was something wrong with some students, eyes. D. Some students could not recognize her written words on the board. 5. Some people are against handwriting teaching because they think ________. A. handwriting is a practical skill B. handwriting is no longer popular C. it’s difficult to fake typed signatures D. handwriting is no longer used by Americans 6. How many advantages does handwriting have for the mind? A. 3. B. 4. C. 7. D. 8. 7. The underlined word “stimulate” in Paragraph 4 probably means ________. A. cause B. collect C. exchange D. influence 【答案】4. D 5. B 6. B 7. A 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇议论文。本文主要讲了教授学生书写的重要性和必要性。尽管现代已经有了快速的打字技术，但是书写仍然不可或缺，书写能够活跃大脑，改善运动技能，激发想法等好处。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。由文中第一段的After one teacher in Tennessee discovered that she had students who couldn’t read what she was writing on the board可知，这位老师发现有些学生不认识她黑板上写的字，故D选项正确。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。由文中第二段的Others who are against it claim that handwriting has become out of time in our modern world.可知，一些反对的人认为书写在现代社会已经过时了，不流行了。故B选项正确。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。由文中倒数第二段的There is also strong evidence that writing by hand is good for the mind.可知，该段讲书写对大脑的益处，这里讲了四点， improves fine moving skills in young children；People are also more likely to remember what they write by hand than what they type；the process of writing by hand has been shown to stimulate ideas；kids who write by hand learn to read and spell earlier than those who don’t.，B选项正确。 【7题详解】 词义猜测题。根据画线部分前一句可知，书写的人们更容易记住他们写的东西，也就是说他们在写的过程中大脑是在运转的，也就是会激发一些想法，所以stimulate的意思是“激发，引起”的意思。A. cause引起；B. collect收集；C. exchange交换；D. influence影响。故A选项正确。 【点睛】在做细节理解题时要注意语意理解这一题型。语意是一类深层事实细节理解题，答案与题目之间存在着一定的逻辑联系，这种联系需要建立在事实的基础上通过上、下文来进行判断、分析、归纳和整合，才能得出正确答案。例如，本文的第2小题，根据题干内容可把答案定位在第二段，在第二段的开头就提到了一些人反对的原因是 out of time（过时），四个选项中没有出现这个词可知，这时就需要用同义词或者与语意相近的词，out of time（过时）也就是说不再流行（no longer popular）了，所以B选项正确。 C We have recently heard some interesting ways that 5G wireless technology might change our lives in the future. One project in Britain is testing this superfast technology, but not on humans. Instead, the experiment involves an unlikely group of Internet users—cows. The system connects the animals to 5G in an effort to automate the milking process. The project was developed by American technology company Cisco Systems. It is part of a Cisco-led program called 5G Rural First. Cisco says the program seeks to explore the future of 5G connectivity in rural communities around the world. Rural areas are expected to be the last to receive 5G service. Testing areas were set up on farms in three rural areas of England. The cows are equipped with 5G-connected devices that link up to a robotic milking system. The system uses sensors and machine learning to fully automate the process, System designers say the technology takes over after a cow feels ready to be milked and walks toward an automatic gate. The device is designed to recognize each individual cow. It then positions equipment to the right body position for milking. During the process, machines release food for the cow as a reward. One of the test areas is in the town of Shepton Mallet, in southwest England. There about 50 of the farm’s 180 cows are fitted with 5G smart collars and health-observing ear sensors. Project officials say the devices do not harm the cows and the sensors permit farmers to immediately identify any problem or health concerns. Other technology tools powering the 5G smart farms include automated brushes that work automatically when the cow rubs up against them. Sensors also control the amount of light to the cows’ living areas depending on the weather. And, an automatic feeding system makes sure the animals always get enough to eat. Nick Chrissos works on the project for Cisco. He said the system could connect every cow and every other animal on the whole farm. “That’s what 5G can do for farming—really release the power that we have within this farm, everywhere around the United Kingdom, and everywhere around the world.” 8. Why was the program developed? A. To produce more milk. B. To care for cows better. C. To try out 5G in rural areas. D. To improve 5G system on farms. 9. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The way 5G system controls the milking process. B. The way 5G system is set up on the farms. C. The reason why 5G is used on the cows. D. The reason why 5G is popular with the farms. 10. Which paragraph talks about extra technology applications on the 5G farm? A. Paragraph 1. B. Paragraph 2. C. Paragraph 4. D. Paragraph 5. 11. What may be the best title for the text? A. 5G Is Used Widely on the Cows of British Farms B. 5G Has Reached Rural Areas of the United Kingdom C. British Cows Connected to 5G Can Control Their Own Milking D. Farmers in British Are Using 5G to Improve Their Life 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. D 11. C 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。短文说明了英国一个项目将动物连接到5G，以实现挤奶过程的自动化。该项目旨在探索全球农村社区5G连接的未来。并介绍这个项目具体在农场的具体操作情况，以及其他额外技术应用。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中Cisco says the program seeks to explore the future of 5G connectivity in rural communities around the world.（思科表示，该项目旨在探索全球农村社区5G连接的未来。）可知该项目是为了在农村地区试验5G而开发的。故选C。 【9题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段前两句Testing areas were set up on farms in three rural areas of England. The cows are equipped with 5G-connected devices that link up to a robotic milking system.（在英格兰三个农村地区的农场上设立了试验区。这些奶牛装备了连接到机器人挤奶系统的5g设备。）以及本段主要内容为说明5G系统控制挤奶过程的方式。故A选项符合第三段大意。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中Other technology tools powering the 5G smart farms include automated brushes that work automatically when the cow rubs up against them. Sensors also control the amount of light to the cows’ living areas depending on the weather.（为5G智能农场提供动力的其他技术工具包括自动刷，当奶牛摩擦它们时自动工作。传感器还可以根据天气情况控制奶牛生活区域的光照量。）可知第5段讨论了5G领域的额外技术应用。故选D。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段中One project in Britain is testing this superfast technology, but not on humans. Instead, the experiment involves an unlikely group of Internet users—cows. The system connects the animals to 5G in an effort to automate the milking process.（英国的一个项目正在测试这种超高速技术，但不是在人类身上。相反，这个实验涉及到一群不太可能的互联网用户——奶牛。该系统将动物连接到5G，以实现挤奶过程的自动化。）以及文章主要内容为介绍连接5G网络的英国奶牛可以控制自己挤奶，故C选项符合文章标题。故选C。 D History Fair Competition Understanding history is vital to understanding ourselves as a people and as a nation.

Back in the 1930s, the country life was really tough. One day after dinner, Susan’s mother sat on the seat, announcing to the children the Golden Rule: “Treat others the way you want to be treated.” Susan reflected carefully and seriously on what her mother had said. She resolved that she would keep in mind and follow the rule. One Saturday afternoon, she went to farmer Jason’s inn (小旅馆) to get the pay for her mother’s washing for the guests there, which amounted to five dollars. She found Jason in the yard, who, as all the villagers knew, was selfish and mean. His eyes clouded with anger, as he had just finished a quarrel with one of his guests. He held in his hand an open wallet, full of bills. He barely noticed Susan until she made her request for the money. Instead of shouting at her, as usual, for troubling him when he was busy, he handed her a bank note. Feeling relieved for escaping from Jason so easily, Susan hurried out of the inn. When carefully putting the money into her pocket, she discovered that Jason had given her two bills instead of one, and her first reaction was joy at the unexpected prize. She looked around and there was nobody nearby to share her discovery. “It is mine. All mine.” she said to herself. “I will buy mum a new coat with it, and she can give her old one to sister Mary, and then Mary can go to the Sunday school with me next winter. I wonder if I can buy a pair of shoes for brother Tom too.” Just at that moment, she realized that Jason must have given the extra money to her by mistake, and therefore she had no right to own it. But a voice of temptation (诱惑) whispered, “He gave it, and you can keep it. He will never know, even if it is a mistake. ” As Susan hurried home, this conflict went on in her mind. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Susan’s face became red with embarrassment and annoyance. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】As Susan hurried home, this conflict went on in her mind. When she passed through the gate, her eyes fell upon the wooden seat. Instantly, the words of the Golden Rule rang in her ears. Turning around quickly, she raced along the road breathlessly until she found herself again at farmer Jason’s gate. “Why are you back again?” shouted the cold fellow angrily, as he saw Susan again at his side. “Sir, you gave me two bills, instead of one,” she said in a trembling voice. “Two bills? Did I? Let me see. Well, so I did. Why didn’t you bring it back sooner? You want to keep it yourself?” he blamed. Susan’s face became red with embarrassment and annoyance. Tears rolling down her cheeks, she loudly argued that she returned it almost the moment she discovered the truth. Jason looked at the child, seemingly touched. Putting his hand in his pocket, he drew out a few coins and handed them to her. “No, sir. I thank you,” sobbed Susan, “I do not want to be paid for doing right. I only wish you would not think me dishonest.” After hearing this, Jason said sorry to her, ashamed. Susan returned home with a lightened heart. Never would she forget her mother’s Golden rule in her life. 【解析】 【分析】本篇书面表达是读后续写。 【详解】通过阅读所给文章可知，文章讲述了Susan在帮妈妈向Jason索要洗衣费的时候，收到了两张纸币，其中一张是Jason不小心多拿出的，在是否将这张多余的纸币据为己有的矛盾中，Susan最终选择了将其还给Jason。 续写部分分为两段，第一段开头是：As Susan hurried home, this conflict went on in her mind. (当Susan匆忙赶回家时，这个矛盾在她的脑海里继续着。)所以应该写Susan回到家看到那把木制椅子时的感触，想到妈妈的教导，而把多余的钱还给Jason，同时应描写Jason和Susan之间关于还钱的对话，包括Jason的疑惑，质问等；第二段开头是Susan’s face became red with embarrassment and annoyance. ( Susan又尴尬又恼怒，脸都红了。) 本段应该写Susan对于Jason质问的回答，同时Jason对于Susan回答的反应，比如给与奖励，同时呼应文章主题“己所不欲勿施于人”，应描写Susan对此做出的回应，比如拒绝奖励，诚实地表达出个人的想法等。要注意所续写短文的词数应为150左右，按要求完成写作任务。 【点睛】本文描写详略得当，使用了高级词汇和高级句子。如：1.高级词汇：fall upon on; roll down; draw out; hand sth. to sb.2.复合句式：“Why are you back again?” shouted the cold fellow angrily, as he saw Susan again at his side. (as引导时间状语从句)Tears rolling down her cheeks, she loudly argued that she returned it almost the moment she discovered the truth .(“tears rolling down her cheeks”为独立主格结构，表伴随；the moment 引导时间状语从句。)Putting his hand in his pocket, he drew out a few coins and handed them to her. (putting his hand in his pocket为现在分词作状语)Never would she forget her mother’s Golden rule in her life.(否定词置于句首，部分倒装) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
