When Grandpa told them what he was doing, they let him borrow the dog for the weekend. With doubt in his mind, Grandpa took the dog to the theater with him that evening. After the audience left, whispering "good luck" to himself and the dog, he turned the dog loose in the theater. The dog started running around, sniffing the air. Grandpa left and headed home, still with doubt running through his head. To check whether the dog had killed any rats, the next morning Grandpa got up very early. When he reached the theater, nervous, he opened the door. To his surprise, he saw six dead rats laid out on the floor in the lobby and the dog was standing there wagging his tail, very proud of himself. The manager was so happy and awarded Grandpa. Later, Grandpa joyfully went right to the dog shelter and adopted the dog, which he named RK, short for Rat Killer. RK became a close friend to Grandpa and had a regular job himself at the theater. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 湖南省株洲市第十三中学2025-2026学年高一下学期期末考试 英 语 试 题 （考试时间：120分钟 考试总分：150分） 注意事项： 1．答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。将条形码横贴在答题卡上“贴条形码区”。 2．作答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用2B铅笔在答题卡上对应题目选项的答案信息点涂黑；如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案。答案写在试题卷上无效。 3．非选择题必须用黑色字迹的钢笔或签字笔作答，答案必须写在答题卡各题目指定区域内相应位置上；如需改动，先划掉原来的答案，然后再写上新答案；不准使用铅笔和涂改液。不按以上要求作答无效。 4．保持答题卡的整洁。考试结束后，只交答题卡，试题卷自行保存。 第二部分 阅读(共两节，满分50分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Four Summer Programs in Alaska for High SchoolersBrown Environmental Leadership Lab Brown University     Grades: 9th, 10th and 11th  Program Cost: $5810 Application Deadline: March 25th Eligibility (报名资格): All 9-11th grade students are encouraged to apply.

B Born in Sudan in 1990, Hamza Yassin is a British wildlife cameraman and TV presenter, known for his role as ranger Hamza on CBeebies and his work on shows such as Animal Park. He moved to Northampton in 1998 when his parents, both doctors, were invited to work in the UK. Besides the climate, he also had to adjust to the change in pets. As mentioned in his book Hamza’s Wild World, “Where’s everyone’s pet lions and monkeys? It was all cats and dogs. I hadn’t realized what a special upbringing (养育) I had. But it was the UK that cemented my love of wildlife: I quickly fell in love with the country’s nature. At first glance, it doesn’t look like there is much wildlife. But if you peel back the layers, there is so much.” Though his parents didn’t have time to closely teach him, they did turn on the television, especially the Discovery Channel. David Attenborough’s The Life of Birds was an eye-opening experience, and Steve Irwin was a huge inspiration. While Hamza thought they had cool jobs, he never thought he could be a presenter. As a non-white teenager, he never saw anyone like him in front of the camera. After being an assistant for the incredible wildlife cameraman Jesse Wilkinson, Hamza realized he needed to forge his own path. In 2011, he traveled with friends to the Highlands. Two weeks later, he was back there. He told his parents he was living in a beautiful cottage, but in reality, he was living in his car, struggling to make ends meet. He parked at the local ferry terminal and lived there happily for nine months, doing odd jobs to survive. During that time, he was determined not to go back to Northampton and tell his parents: “I’ve been defeated.” Luckily, he made it. That experience taught him everything he needed to know about the profession. Eventually, Hamza became a renowned wildlife cameraman, inspiring others to pursue their dreams regardless of their background. 4．What does the underlined word “cemented” in paragraph 2 mean? A．Strengthened. B．Evaluated. C．Challenged. D．Deserved. 5．Why didn’t Hamza think he could be a TV presenter in his teenage years? A．He had no passion for being a presenter. B．He feared to stand in front of the camera. C．He obtained little support from his parents. D．He lacked confidence because of his color. 6．What can we learn from Hamza’s experience in the Highlands? A．He assisted a well-known wildlife cameraman. B．He longed for his parents’ financial support. C．He persevered through different challenges. D．He documented the region’s wildlife for a TV show. 7．What does Hamza’s story of becoming a renowned cameraman show? A．Great minds think alike. B．Where there’s a will, there’s a way. C．Strike while the iron is hot. D．A good beginning makes a good ending. C Many of us have experienced the annoying tears when cutting onions in the kitchen. There are different suggestions to avoid this, but what does science really say? According to a team of physicists at Cornell University, it’s all about the sharpness (锐利) of your knife and your speed of approach. After over five million years of use around the world, onions still cause a problem for our eyes due to a special chemical. The chemical gives off a sulphur-rich spray (富硫喷雾) when we cut an onion, which travels through the air and makes our eyes water. To study this spray, Cornell researchers first built a tool with different steel blades (钢制刀片). They then painted onion pieces black to watch the shape change after cutting. Using a microscope, they measured the width of the blade tips, ranging from 5 to 200 millimetres. Then they started cutting the onions at speeds between 0.4 and 2 metres per second. Their recordings clearly showed that sharper blades produced fewer drops with less energy. The duller (钝的) the blade, the easier it was to bend (使弯曲) the onion’s skin before cutting. This bending stored energy, building up pressure inside the vegetable until it cut open — resulting in more juice. In some cases, the drops could break into smaller aerosol particles (气溶胶颗粒), reaching speeds of about 43 metres per second. As these particles flew through the air, they created a fine spray that was more likely to make our eyes tear. Meanwhile, faster cutting speeds produced four times as many particles as slower rates. Although this research is still waiting for expert review, it offers a useful tip: Using a sharp knife and cutting the onion slowly can continuously reduce the unwanted effects. So, the next time you’re in the kitchen preparing onions, remember to use a sharp knife and take your time. Your eyes will thank you — and now you can enjoy cooking with onions without the annoying tears! 8．What is the key factor in the Cornell research? A．The type of onion. B．Cutting time and pressure. C．Knife sharpness and cutting speed. D．The amount of sulfur chemical. 9．How is the third paragraph developed? A．By listing steps. B．By giving examples. C．By explaining reasons. D．By making comparisons. 10．What can we infer about dull blades from the text? A．They cut onions more quickly. B．They bend less skin when cutting onions. C．They cause more tears when cutting onions. D．They produce fewer aerosol particles. 11．Which of the following is the best title for the text? A．The Science of Cutting Onions B．How to Choose a Sharp Knife C．A New Way to Study Onions D．Tips to Avoid Kitchen Tears D Wake up early enough and, depending on where you live, you’ll likely hear a pleasant chorus (合唱) of birds singing their tiny hearts out. Singing in the early morning is the natural behavior of birds. But why do birds sing only in the early morning? According to the Woodland Trust, a UK-based environmental charity, this early singing is known as the dawn chorus, and it can start as early as 4 a.m. and last for several hours. Birds do it to attract mates (配偶) and warn other birds to avoid their territory. One theory as to why they choose for the early hours to communicate these important messages is because the low visibility makes it hard to do other bird activities, like finding food. Keeping their activity level low, they choose to sing instead. Another theory argues that birds use the morning songs to project an image of strength. By singing with passion, they’re letting other birds know they survived the night — no guarantee in nature — and would make for an excellent mate. Like a good recording studio, the early morning hours also allow birds to transmit a distinct sound thanks to the cooler, drier air. Since birds have distinctive calls, that clarity helps them be more easily identified by birds within listening distance. There used to be a widespread theory that birds sang so much in the mornings because the sounds could travel greater distances due to less atmospheric turbulence (大气湍流), but it was disproven by researchers at the University of Western Ontario in 2025. They played recordings of sparrows at dawn and midday, coming to a conclusion that rather than traveling farther, sounds were more steady and constant in the mornings. “Birds only have so much energy, so singing when they stand the best chance of being heard makes sense.” they added, “For a bird, an early morning period is like having the perfect sound environment for their performance.” 12．Which is a reason for birds singing in the early morning? A．To appeal to their partners. B．To find food for their kids. C．To warn other birds of danger. D．To guarantee their survival. 13．How does morning air quality affect birds’ songs? A．Make them travel further. B．Make them easily followed. C．Make them sound louder. D．Make them clearly recognized. 14．What does the research in 2025 suggest? A．Endless energy offers birds the chance of survival. B．Birds’ performance is better in a safe environment. C．Birds’ morning songs have a greater sense of continuity. D．Less atmospheric turbulence allows greater sound distances. 15．What can we learn from birds’ morning singing? A．Strike while the iron is hot. B．Good things come to those who wait. C．A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. D．Don’t count your chickens before they hatch. 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。 Should Mobile Phones be used in Education? The widespread use of mobile phones has changed how we communicate daily, but their place in education is still a matter of debate. Some feel mobile phones can serve as a useful tool for learning. 16 Rather than listening to the teachers carefully in class, they use their devices (设备) to text, play games, watch videos or even try to cheat by taking photos of tests. 17 According to a survey, some students keep checking their phones, texting or going on social media. Some students even spend up to 12 hours daily on their mobile phones. As a result, they usually fall asleep in class. Educators are exploring ways to monitor (监控) students’ using mobile phone effectively. For example, France has made a law that doesn’t allow students under 15 to use mobile phones in school. Schools have begun to use special boxes to keep students’ phones during school time. 18 The idea of limiting mobile phone use isn’t just happening in a few schools. Over 30 schools in France have put some kind of limit on mobile phone use this year or last year, with different areas making their own rules about phones. 19 The teachers in these schools believe that students have grown up with mobile phones. They think it’s their job to teach students how to use mobile phones the right way as a learning tool. They also teach about how to use phones properly, including how to be responsible with social media and the Internet. 20 In their eyes, the technology has already existed, so schools should use it to help students and not fear it. A．In this way they won’t be encouraged to use them. B．It’s impossible that mobile phones can destroy a child. C．They regard it as part of changing education for children. D．The problem of students using mobile phones in class is a real worry. E．There is a chance that students are improperly using their mobile phones. F．In fact, without proper guidance, mobile phones can discourage the learning experience. G．However, some schools have decided to allow students to use mobile phones when necessary. 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Our ancient nomadic (游牧的) ancestor would often sing or dance to show others where to find food.

Unlike ordinary races, this 21.0975-kilometer event included both autonomous 37 remote-controlled robots. 38 (surprising), the first robot to cross the finish line was not the final champion. The Jueying Chitu team, using a remote-controlled robot called “Lightning”, 39 (finish) with a net time of 48 minutes and 19 seconds, consistently running faster than 7 m/s. However, according to the competition rules, the 40 (result) of remote-controlled teams were multiplied (乘) by a weighting factor of 1.2 (1.2 的加权系数), giving them an adjusted time of about 57 minutes. As a result, 41 champion title went to the Qitian Dasheng team, which used an autonomous robot also 42 (name) “Lightning.” Their official finishing time was 50 minutes and 26 seconds. The rules also included time penalties(处罚): Battery replacement outside stations was allowed only in emergencies, with a 5-minute penalty for the first time and 10 minutes for the second. Replacing a robot led to even 43 (heavy) penalties. Interestingly, any autonomous team 44 (conduct) unauthorized human intervention (违规干预) more than three times would be automatically reclassified as a remote-controlled team. This special robot marathon not only shows the rapid development of humanoid robot technology, but also reflects the fairness and strictness of 45 (science) competition rules. 第四部分 写作(共两节，满分40分) 第一节(满分15分) 46．假设你是李华，你所在的学校下周将举办一场“校园传统文化艺术节”。你打算邀请你的英国交换生朋友Peter一起去欣赏一场名为“国风雅韵”的中国传统民乐演奏会。请你给Peter写一封邀请信，内容包括： 1.发出邀请，说明活动的时间和地点； 2.介绍这场音乐会； 3.表达期待。 注意：1.词数100左右； 2.可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯； 3.开头和结尾已为你写好，不计入总词数。 参考词汇:中国传统民乐 Chinese traditional music, 演奏会 concert, 国风雅韵 Elegant Charm of Chinese Music Dear Peter, _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 第二节(满分25分) 47．阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 This is a true story of my grandfather James. In the 1930s, Grandpa was a school kid and took a part-time job in a theater. One day, during a break when the audience were going to the bathroom, he was shocked to see three very huge rats which crossed the aisles (过道) and went under the seats. Grandpa feared the audience would be hurt. When the movie was over, Grandpa told the manager what he saw. The manager was anxious, and said they couldn’t use poisons to drive the rats away. Grandpa suggested putting cats in the theater at night when it was closed. The manager agreed and gave grandpa the task of putting the cats in the theater at night, but grandpa had to be there in the morning to remove the cats and any dead rat that might be around. The next day, grandpa found two cats. At the end of the night when the movie was over, he brought the cats into the theater as “night guards”. Then, he left and headed home, excitedly thinking about how many dead rats there would be when he went to the theater in the morning. The next morning, grandpa hurried to the theater to take care of the cats and all of those dead rats before he went to school. After reaching the theater, he opened the front door, to his surprise, the two cats rushed out of the door and down the street at once. Confused, grandpa entered the theater and turned on the light. To his surprise, he couldn’t find one dead rat. Soon, grandpa and the manager found out that the rats were so big that the cats were actually scared of them. Grandpa wondered how to deal with the problem. When grandpa got home from school that day, he told his parents what had happened. They laughed and told him that the best way was to get a Rat Terrier dog. They said it’s a type of dog that is good at killing rats. Although grandpa doubted it, he decided to have a try. 注意：1.续写词数应为150词左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Grandpa reached the local dog shelter and asked if they had a Rat Terrier. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ To check whether the dog had killed any rats, the next morning grandpa got up very early. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
