It has offline maps. C. It tracks your sleep patterns. D. It records your daily school performance. 3. Where is this text most probably taken from? A. A lifestyle magazine. B. A government report. C.

It paid for my college tuition (学费), housing and even a camera. When I picked up a camera, I was attracted to it. I wanted to take pictures for the university newspaper, The Minnesota Daily. At that time, it was one of the largest newspapers in the state. It was produced by young reporters who later worked for every major magazine in the country. For the final two years of college, I just wanted to be a photographer (摄影师). When I finished college, I was hired by The Worthington Daily Globe. Jim Vance, who won many news prizes, was the top-notch manager of The Globe. He had high expectations for all the staff. With little or no instruction from him, 35 writers and photographers were expected to fill the paper with important stories for readers. It was perfect training for my future career at National Geographic. I was the youngest photographer when I arrived at National Geographic in 1978. For at least ten years, I just tried not to make mistakes. I was grateful for the opportunity, but it was very difficult for me. With each new task, I feared that they would find out I couldn’t do the job. On many tasks, the most challenging part was the transportation. Over the years, I traveled by horse, car, train, truck and all sorts of old vehicles. I traveled by mule (骡子) in Mexico, by ship along the Indian Ocean, and by fishing boat in the Sea of Galilee. Wherever I traveled in the world, I wanted my pictures to make a real difference in people’s lives. 4. Why did the author take the job as a waitress? A. To help her family’s business. B. To share her camera with customers. C. To put her knowledge into practice. D. To support herself during college. 5. What can we know about The Minnesota Daily? A. It was a stepping stone for reporters. B. It was the largest newspaper statewide. C. It was mainly staffed by senior reporters. D. It was established by a group of students. 6. Which best explains the underlined word “top-notch” in paragraph 3? A. Young. B. Excellent. C. Familiar. D. Humorous. 7. What did the author say about her experience at National Geographic? A. She found her job quite easy. B. She often made mistakes at work. C. She always worked under pressure. D. She preferred to photograph places. C Amsterdam is well-known for its network of canals (运河), but many may not know that its waterways have become a danger for the cats in the city. They are endangered together by its commonly-seen canals, high walls and narrow streets. Now, Amsterdam is trying to build mini wooden staircases leading out of the water and onto the banks to help the cats if they fall in the water. For this project, over 100,000 euros will be spent to build the tiny staircases at various points along its waterways as part of a cat safety drive. Euro News details that cats accidentally fall into canals when something scares them. While they are able to swim, they quickly run out of energy as the water weighs down their fur. This creative plan to give cats and other small animals a way out of the city’s canals which can endanger them was developed after 19 cats died in the city’s canals in the last six months. It was presented by Judith Krom of the Party for the Animals. Krom, who has called this a simple move that can prevent animal suffering, says this shows the city’s wish to take responsibility for protecting the lives of animals. It turns out that the city’s animal welfare chief, Zita Pels, had previously supported this step, but she had put the idea aside because there had not been enough money. Krom, however, found out unused 100,000 euros in her biodiversity budget for wildlife, giving this project the green light. Today, the city’s Dierenambulance Amsterdam animal welfare organization is on call to provide an ambulance service around the clock to help animals in medical need. It has been tasked with working with the city to choose sites where the most accidental cat falls have happened. 8. Why is Amsterdam trying to build staircases along its waterways? A. To protect cats. B. To make money. C. To attract tourists. D. To beautify the canals. 9. What is the author’s purpose in writing paragraph 3? A. To show the weakness of local tourism. B. To tell the reason for driving cats away. C. To prove the risk of swimming in canals. D. To stress the necessity of building staircases. 10. What made Zita Pels fail to take the step? A. Having little time. B. Shortage of money. C. Her dislike for the idea. D. Failing to find suitable sites. 11. What is the text mainly about? A. A study on cats. B. A city project. C. A safe home for animals. D. A travel destination. D A study led by Australian researchers warns that around 1,500 of the world’s 7,000 recognized languages may no longer be spoken by the end of this century. This concerning research, published in the journal Nature Ecology and Evolution, explores different factors that are putting pressure on endangered languages. The researchers find that city development, such as roads connecting cities to remote regions, is one of the key factors giving rise to language loss. As roads expand, dominant (占主导地位的) languages like English tend to replace local languages. Additionally, major languages are increasingly taking the place of those spoken by smaller communities. Australia has a particularly poor record when it comes to language preservation (保护). The country is among those with the highest rates of language loss globally. Before European colonization (殖民化), over 250 native languages were spoken in Australia. Today, only about 40 remain, and about 10 are being taught to children. Professor Felicity Meakins from the University of Queensland, one of the study’s co-authors, explains that this language loss is part of an ongoing process driven by colonization and globalization. She points out that in Australia, native languages have been suppressed (压制) due to strict colonial rules. People were once punished for speaking their native languages, and these experiences have caused lasting pain. As the world gets ready for UNESCO’s Code of Native Language, the researchers say their findings serve as a good reminder of the need for more action to save at-risk languages. Every language is unique and valuable for our cultural diversity. The study highlights the necessity of protecting endangered languages to ensure they are passed down to future generations. 12. What do the researchers think of city development? A. It improves road safety. B. It serves poor communities. C. It creates well-paid jobs. D. It is a big threat to languages. 13. What can be inferred regarding Australia’s language preservation? A. It is in a bad situation. B. It is well received. C. It has made strict rules. D. It sets a good example. 14. What does the study suggest? A. Doing further research. B. Interviewing language experts. C. Making more efforts. D. Never speaking native languages. 15. Which is the most suitable title for the text? A. Preserving a Dominant Language Globally B. Saving the World’s Endangered Languages C. More People Are Attracted to Native English D. About 1,500 Local Languages Are Recognized 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。 Effective communication is about expressing your feelings clearly while listening to another person’s body language and opinions.

I was a teenager at the time, caught up in the busy life of school, social activities, and the pressure of upcoming college applications. It was my neighbor, Mr. Jensen, who brought me back to earth. Mr. Jensen was a quiet man in his seventies who lived alone in the house next door. Despite our age difference, we had a shared love for gardening, a hobby that formed an unlikely friendship between us. Every time I saw him in his garden, he was watering and admiring his roses with such focus, as if weeding (除草) never troubled him. One sunny afternoon, feeling overwhelmed and anxious, I decided to take a break from my studies. I headed outside to my backyard garden where I began to angrily weed, my anger going into every pull of the weeds. The soil flew in every direction as I attacked the unwanted plants with unnecessary force, my mind running through endless to-do lists. Mr. Jensen was in his garden as usual, taking care of his roses with the same calm patience he always showed. Seeing how upset I was, he came over and began weeding next to me without a word. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 After a few minutes of shared silence, he finally spoke up. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Then, Mr. Jensen said, “Let’s water the roses and enjoy them.” ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 荥阳高中2025-2026学年高一下期期末考试试题 英语试题 注意事项： 本试卷分四部分，考试时间120分钟，满分150分。考生应首先阅读答题卡上的文字信息，然后在答题卡上作答，在试卷上作答无效。 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段录音。每段录音后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段录音后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段录音播放两遍。 1.

This application offers thousands of easy-to-follow recipes from around the world.(厌倦一遍又一遍做相同的菜品？这款软件提供数千份来自世界各地、简单易操作的食谱。)”可知，该应用主要提供食谱和烹饪指南，因此会吸引喜欢烹饪的人。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据小标题 TrailFinder 下的内容“This tool provides detailed offline maps of thousands of trails and urban routes worldwide.(这个工具提供全球数千条小径和城市路线的详细离线地图。)”可知，TrailFinder的一个重要功能是提供离线地图（offline maps）。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。文章首段提到“We have selected four useful apps for our readers to improve life efficiency.(我们为读者挑选了四款有用的应用来提高生活效率)”，随后介绍了四款分别用于烹饪、健康管理、户外出行和日常理财的App。这些内容贴近大众的日常生活，因此最有可能摘自一本生活方式杂志（A lifestyle magazine）。 B I got my first job as a waitress when I was 20. It was tiring but interesting. It paid for my college tuition (学费), housing and even a camera. When I picked up a camera, I was attracted to it. I wanted to take pictures for the university newspaper, The Minnesota Daily. At that time, it was one of the largest newspapers in the state. It was produced by young reporters who later worked for every major magazine in the country. For the final two years of college, I just wanted to be a photographer (摄影师).

She found her job quite easy. B. She often made mistakes at work. C. She always worked under pressure. D. She preferred to photograph places. 【答案】4. D 5. A 6. B 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述作者20岁做服务员赚取大学开销，之后迷上摄影，先后在校报、地方报社积累经验，最终进入《国家地理》，讲述自己从业过程中的压力、艰苦出行经历与摄影初心。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“I got my first job as a waitress when I was 20. It was tiring but interesting. It paid for my college tuition (学费), housing and even a camera.(我20岁时得到第一份服务员工作，这份工作虽累但很有意思，靠它我支付了大学学费、住宿费，甚至还买了一台相机。)”可知，作者做服务员的收入覆盖了大学学费、住宿费等全部大学相关开销，目的是在大学期间实现经济独立、养活自己。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“At that time, it was one of the largest newspapers in the state. It was produced by young reporters who later worked for every major magazine in the country.(那时它是该州规模最大的报纸之一，任职于此的年轻记者后来都入职了国内各大主流杂志。)”可推知，从《明尼苏达日报》走出的年轻记者后续都进入了全国各大主流杂志，这份报纸是记者们职业发展的优质跳板。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段画线词“top-notch”前面的“Jim Vance, who won many news prizes(吉姆·万斯斩获多项新闻大奖)”和后面的“manager of The Globe(《环球日报》的主管)”可知，画线词含有“优秀的”之意。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“I was grateful for the opportunity, but it was very difficult for me. With each new task, I feared that they would find out I couldn’t do the job.(我很珍惜这次机会，但这份工作对我而言十分艰难，每接到一项新任务，我都担心别人会发现我无法胜任这份工作。)”可知，作者始终怕犯错、怕暴露自己无法胜任工作，一直处在持续的心理压力之下。 C Amsterdam is well-known for its network of canals (运河), but many may not know that its waterways have become a danger for the cats in the city. They are endangered together by its commonly-seen canals, high walls and narrow streets. Now, Amsterdam is trying to build mini wooden staircases leading out of the water and onto the banks to help the cats if they fall in the water. For this project, over 100,000 euros will be spent to build the tiny staircases at various points along its waterways as part of a cat safety drive. Euro News details that cats accidentally fall into canals when something scares them. While they are able to swim, they quickly run out of energy as the water weighs down their fur. This creative plan to give cats and other small animals a way out of the city’s canals which can endanger them was developed after 19 cats died in the city’s canals in the last six months. It was presented by Judith Krom of the Party for the Animals. Krom, who has called this a simple move that can prevent animal suffering, says this shows the city’s wish to take responsibility for protecting the lives of animals. It turns out that the city’s animal welfare chief, Zita Pels, had previously supported this step, but she had put the idea aside because there had not been enough money. Krom, however, found out unused 100,000 euros in her biodiversity budget for wildlife, giving this project the green light. Today, the city’s Dierenambulance Amsterdam animal welfare organization is on call to provide an ambulance service around the clock to help animals in medical need. It has been tasked with working with the city to choose sites where the most accidental cat falls have happened. 8. Why is Amsterdam trying to build staircases along its waterways? A. To protect cats. B. To make money. C. To attract tourists. D. To beautify the canals. 9. What is the author’s purpose in writing paragraph 3? A. To show the weakness of local tourism. B. To tell the reason for driving cats away. C. To prove the risk of swimming in canals. D. To stress the necessity of building staircases. 10. What made Zita Pels fail to take the step? A. Having little time. B. Shortage of money. C. Her dislike for the idea. D. Failing to find suitable sites. 11. What is the text mainly about? A. A study on cats. B. A city project. C. A safe home for animals. D. A travel destination. 【答案】8. A 9. D 10. B 11. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章讲述阿姆斯特丹的运河、高墙等对当地猫咪构成威胁，该市启动项目，投入超10万欧元沿水道建造迷你木制楼梯救助落水猫咪，相关部门协作选址，推动这一动物保护城市项目落地。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Now, Amsterdam is trying to build mini wooden staircases leading out of the water and onto the banks to help the cats if they fall in the water.(现在，阿姆斯特丹正试图建造通往水面和岸边的迷你木制楼梯，以便帮助落水的猫咪。)”可知，阿姆斯特丹沿水道修建楼梯的目的是保护猫咪。故选A项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Euro News details that cats accidentally fall into canals when something scares them. While they are able to swim, they quickly run out of energy as the water weighs down their fur.(欧洲新闻台报道称，猫咪在受到惊吓时，会意外掉入运河。虽然它们会游泳，但水会浸湿它们的毛发，使它们很快耗尽体力。)”可知，本段讲述猫咪掉入运河后很难自行逃生，这一内容强调了建造逃生楼梯的必要性。故选D项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“It turns out that the city’s animal welfare chief, Zita Pels, had previously supported this step, but she had put the idea aside because there had not been enough money.(事实证明，该市动物福利负责人齐塔・佩尔斯此前就支持这一举措，但由于资金不足，她把这个想法搁置了。)”可知，是资金短缺导致她未能实施该计划。故选B项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“Now, Amsterdam is trying to build mini wooden staircases leading out of the water and onto the banks to help the cats if they fall in the water. For this project, over 100,000 euros will be spent to build the tiny staircases at various points along its waterways as part of a cat safety drive.(现在，阿姆斯特丹正试图建造小型木制楼梯，从水中延伸到岸边，以便帮助落水的猫咪。作为猫咪安全行动的一部分，该项目将耗资超过10万欧元，在其水道沿线的多个地点建造这些微型楼梯。)”以及上下文可知，全文围绕阿姆斯特丹为保护猫咪开展的城市项目展开。故选B项。 D A study led by Australian researchers warns that around 1,500 of the world’s 7,000 recognized languages may no longer be spoken by the end of this century. This concerning research, published in the journal Nature Ecology and Evolution, explores different factors that are putting pressure on endangered languages. The researchers find that city development, such as roads connecting cities to remote regions, is one of the key factors giving rise to language loss. As roads expand, dominant (占主导地位的) languages like English tend to replace local languages. Additionally, major languages are increasingly taking the place of those spoken by smaller communities. Australia has a particularly poor record when it comes to language preservation (保护). The country is among those with the highest rates of language loss globally. Before European colonization (殖民化), over 250 native languages were spoken in Australia. Today, only about 40 remain, and about 10 are being taught to children. Professor Felicity Meakins from the University of Queensland, one of the study’s co-authors, explains that this language loss is part of an ongoing process driven by colonization and globalization. She points out that in Australia, native languages have been suppressed (压制) due to strict colonial rules. People were once punished for speaking their native languages, and these experiences have caused lasting pain. As the world gets ready for UNESCO’s Code of Native Language, the researchers say their findings serve as a good reminder of the need for more action to save at-risk languages. Every language is unique and valuable for our cultural diversity. The study highlights the necessity of protecting endangered languages to ensure they are passed down to future generations. 12. What do the researchers think of city development? A. It improves road safety. B. It serves poor communities. C. It creates well-paid jobs. D. It is a big threat to languages. 13. What can be inferred regarding Australia’s language preservation? A. It is in a bad situation. B. It is well received. C. It has made strict rules. D. It sets a good example. 14. What does the study suggest? A. Doing further research. B. Interviewing language experts. C. Making more efforts. D. Never speaking native languages. 15. Which is the most suitable title for the text? A. Preserving a Dominant Language Globally B. Saving the World’s Endangered Languages C. More People Are Attracted to Native English D. About 1,500 Local Languages Are Recognized 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. C 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述一项澳洲研究警示大量语言即将消亡，分析语言流失的成因，以澳大利亚为例说明保护现状堪忧，并呼吁保护濒危语言、维护文化多样性。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The researchers find that city development, such as roads connecting cities to remote regions, is one of the key factors giving rise to language loss.(研究人员发现，城市发展，比如连接城市和偏远地区的道路建设，是导致语言消亡的主要因素之一。)”可知，城市发展会造成语言流失，对各类本土语言构成巨大威胁。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Australia has a particularly poor record when it comes to language preservation. The country is among those with the highest rates of language loss globally.(澳大利亚在语言保护方面的记录尤为糟糕。该国属于全球语言流失率最高的国家之一。)”可推知，澳大利亚的语言保护处境十分糟糕。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据末段中的“As the world gets ready for UNESCO’s Code of Native Language, the researchers say their findings serve as a good reminder of the need for more action to save at-risk languages.(在全球筹备联合国教科文组织《本土语言准则》之际，研究人员表示，他们的研究成果有力提醒人们，亟需采取更多行动保护濒危语言。)”可知，研究呼吁人们付出更多努力保护语言。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。首段中的“A study led by Australian researchers warns that around 1,500 of the world’s 7,000 recognized languages may no longer be spoken by the end of this century.(一项由澳大利亚研究人员主导的研究警示，全球现存7000种公认语言中，大约1500种可能在本世纪末彻底失传。)”是主旨句，全文围绕拯救濒危语言展开，后文依次分析语言消失的原因、澳大利亚语言流失的惨痛案例、语言流失的深层根源，结尾呼吁行动保护濒危语言。B项表示“拯救世界濒危语言”，涵盖本文主旨，适合作本文的标题。 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。 Effective communication is about expressing your feelings clearly while listening to another person’s body language and opinions.

I was a teenager at the time, caught up in the busy life of school, social activities, and the pressure of upcoming college applications. It was my neighbor, Mr. Jensen, who brought me back to earth. Mr. Jensen was a quiet man in his seventies who lived alone in the house next door. Despite our age difference, we had a shared love for gardening, a hobby that formed an unlikely friendship between us. Every time I saw him in his garden, he was watering and admiring his roses with such focus, as if weeding (除草) never troubled him. One sunny afternoon, feeling overwhelmed and anxious, I decided to take a break from my studies. I headed outside to my backyard garden where I began to angrily weed, my anger going into every pull of the weeds. The soil flew in every direction as I attacked the unwanted plants with unnecessary force, my mind running through endless to-do lists. Mr. Jensen was in his garden as usual, taking care of his roses with the same calm patience he always showed. Seeing how upset I was, he came over and began weeding next to me without a word. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 After a few minutes of shared silence, he finally spoke up. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Then, Mr. Jensen said, “Let’s water the roses and enjoy them.” ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文 After a few minutes of shared silence, he finally spoke up. “You know,” he began, “weeding a garden is a lot like going through life.” Curious, I stopped and looked at him. He continued, “Sometimes, we focus so much on the weeds — the problems and difficulties — that we forget to enjoy the flowers.” He pointed to the beautiful roses in his garden, their bright colors shining in the afternoon sun, “Don’t forget to appreciate the roses, even as you deal with the weeds.” I looked down at the weeds in my hands, then back at his roses, and slowly nodded. Then, Mr. Jensen said, “Let’s water the roses and enjoy them.” I put down the weeds and followed him to the tap. As we watered the flowers together, for the first time, I felt a sense of peace. When I returned to my studies later that afternoon, the pressure didn’t seem so heavy anymore.
