Nothing is more refreshing on a warm summer day than watching someone else work. Right now, I’m sitting on my porch and watching young Beth baling (打捆) the big field on top of the hill. She’s been haying that field for over ten years. I know: I put her on the tractor when she was just twelve years old. She picked a great day for baling. It’s not too hot, and there’s a nice breeze. On Monday, when she cut the field, it was so hot I thought the corn would start popping in the field. Didn’t stop her, though. She just stuck that big hat on her head, wrapped a wet handkerchief around her neck, and set to work. I remember when I would have done the same thing. While I’m here sucking a lemonade, Beth is driving the “hay (干草) train”, a tractor pulling a baler and an old wagon. You’d think someone her size would never be able to see over the tractor. But somehow she manages. When she’s finished, her tracks are very straight. The whole time she’s haying, that dog of hers is working just as hard, running along beside her like he’s afraid she’ll drive away without him. Beth sure knew what she was doing when she trained him. The way the machine works is pure poetry. Each row is pushed into shape. When just enough hay is in a bale, it is wrapped up and fastened together. A second or so later, the bale comes flying out and into the old wagon. The person who invented that machine sure was some kind of genius. That’s not to say it works perfectly. Every once in a while a bale misses the mark, especially when you are turning the machine at the end of a row. That means, of course, that you have to go back and pick up those bales and throw them into the wagon. I can remember when Beth’s mother was her age. She looked an awful lot like Beth does now. Makes a man proud to see his daughter and granddaughter taking such good care of themselves. Well, I suppose I should get up and fill this glass again. Not much fun sitting here with an empty glass. 31. We can learn from the passage that at some time in the past the author ________. A. bought the tractor for Beth B. forced Beth to work at an early age C. worked in the field like Beth D. trained the dog to help Beth work 32. In the eyes of the author, the sight of Beth baling hay is ________. A. uncommon B. beautiful C. unforgettable D. changeable 33. Before thrown into the wagon, the hay must be ________. A. tied up B. dried up C. cut up D. lined up 34. Who do you think is telling this story? A. Beth’s mother. B. Beth’s father. C. Beth’s grandmother. D. Beth’s grandfather. B Unlike many surfers who sought the perfect wave, my interests always lay beneath the sea’s surface in a world I could only imagine and dream of. When I was twelve, I made my first adventures in the deep. Later I would learn how to dive, expanding my world of exploration many times over. Perhaps the greatest turning point in my life came when I was in high school and I wrote a letter to the famous Scripps Oceanographic Institution, asking how I might learn more about the sea. A kind scientist answered my letter and told me how to apply to Scripps for a summer scholarship, which I received. During one of their courses that summer, I met Dr. Robert Norris, a marine geologist. He loved the sea almost as much as I did. Soon he suggested I consider his school, the University of California, for my study. One year later I became a member of the freshman class. Now my love affair with the sea became a serious endeavor. If I wanted to be an undersea explorer, I needed to learn as much as I could about the laws of the physical world that controlled the environment I wanted to enter. The undersea world is not our natural world. It is unforgiving to those who make mistakes. At its greatest depths the water temperature is near freezing, the pressure is eight tons per square inch, and it is totally dark. It is easy to get lost in such a world. I needed to learn a lot about geography, navigation, geology, biology, and many other things. I decided another important thing for me to do was to join the U.S. Navy. If I was going to be an undersea explorer, I would have to lead men and women on dangerous adventures where they might get hurt, and I didn’t want that to happen. In the Navy I learned discipline, organization, and how to motivate and lead people on adventures so that we could explore the wonders of the deep. Finally, the time came to put all that I had learned to use, to go forth with a team of men and women and explore an adventure I am still on and hope to be on for many years to come. 35. What happened to the author at the age of twelve? A. He dreamed about undersea exploration. B. He began to swim under the deep water. C. He surfed on big waves for the first time. D. He learned to dive off the cliffs. 36. In college, the author took many different types of courses because he ________. A. was told it was easy to get lost in exploration B. was advised to take them by Dr. Robert Norris C. thought they were needed to fully understand the ocean D. believed it would help him succeed in the Navy 37. The author joined the Navy to ________. A. develop his leadership skills B. get along with people under stress C. learn about the dangers of the ocean D. gather specific information about ocean life 38. Which word can best describe the author? A. Imaginative. B. Optimistic. C. Independent. D. Ambitious. C Learning to drive is important to the independence of teenagers, but it is also a great responsibility. Although having a law that keeps 16-year-old drivers from having more than one teenager in the car with them at first seems unfair, there are convincing reasons for this requirement. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety reports that teens are four times more likely than older drivers to be involved in an automobile accident. It also reports that 16-and-17-year-old drivers are twice as likely to have an accident if they have two teenage friends in the car and four times as likely to have one if they have three or more teenage friends in the car with them. Fatal (致命的) crashes of 16-year-old drivers involve the highest percentage of speeding, driver error, and number of passengers. This information is enough to cause any reasonable person to wonder about the wisdom of allowing new teen drivers to take a carload of friends anywhere, even if the law permits it. A study at the National Institutes of Health indicates that the part of the human brain that controls judgment and evaluates the consequences of our actions might not be fully formed until the age of 25. Until this study, researchers had placed the age at 18. If this is true, it could explain the reckless (鲁莽的) behavior of many teens, behavior that often extends into their twenties. It also could be a strong reason for being cautious about the driving circumstances of young people. This is not the only study that indicates such caution is necessary. One study at Temple University in Philadelphia examines the results of peer pressure in risky driving situations. The study, which uses a driving game, has an individual guide a car through a course, both alone and in the presence of friends. Three different age groups participated in the study: 13-16, 18-22, and 24 and older. Members of the oldest group showed caution whether driving alone or with friends present, but the two younger groups took more chances when they were with their friends. Furthermore, because these drivers were accustomed to the noise and distraction of many passengers, they were unable to see their own mistakes. Once again, this is a good indication that a law restricting the number of teenagers in the car with a young driver is a good idea. 39. What does the author mainly tell us in Paragraph 2? A. Many deaths have occurred because of inexperience and overconfidence. B. It’s reasonable to severely limit the passenger number of teen drivers. C. New teen drivers have to ask permission before driving with friends. D. There are many causes behind the teens’ driving accidents. 40. From the two studies, the author probably suggests that ________. A. different age groups have different peer pressure B. teenagers often give wrong judgments above passengers’ noise C. underdeveloped brain makes teens ignore their mistakes D. driving circumstances are bound up with the risk of accidents 41. We can infer that the law restriction can probably ________. A. protect teens on the highway B. raise teens’ sense of responsibility C. reduce the number of fatal crashes D. force teens to drive with caution 42. With which statement would the author most likely disagree? A. Some teenagers have risky behavior while driving. B. Certain laws treat teenagers and adults differently. C. We still need more studies on teen driving. D. Driving is important to a teenager’s sense of independence. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 北京市第八十中学2026-2027学年度第一学期高一入学摸底测试 英 语 试 卷 2026.8 (本试卷满分54分，考试时间45分钟) 一、单选题(每小题1分，共15分) 1.

The novel was not published until 40 years after it ________. A. has completed B. is completed C. was completed D. completed 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：这部小说直到它完成40年后才被出版。after引导的时间状语从句中，从句主语it指代the novel，与动词complete之间是被动关系，设空处需使用被动语态。主句谓语was not published为一般过去时，且从句动作发生在过去，因此从句应使用一般过去时的被动语态，且主语为第三人称单数，所以谓语动词为was completed。 3. Chang’e II satellite was launched successfully on Oct. 1, ________ marked China getting another step closer to landing on the moon. A. that B. what C. which D. when 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：嫦娥二号卫星于10月1日成功发射，这标志着中国离登月又近了一步。空格处引导的是非限制性定语从句，先行词是前面的整个主句，且在从句中缺少主语，因此用关系代词which引导，that不引导非限制性定语从句；what不引导定语从句；when为关系副词，引导定语从句时不能作主语。 4.

A. what did go wrong B. what went wrong C. which did go wrong D. which went wrong 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：彼得又被解雇了。他真的不知道哪里出了错。动词know后接宾语从句，宾语从句需使用陈述语序。引导词what在从句中作主语，表示“什么”，没有明确的选择范围；which通常用于有明确范围的选择。当疑问词在宾语从句中作主语时，其陈述语序直接为“疑问词 + 谓语动词”，不需要借助助动词did，即what went wrong。 5. —Did you notice that guy almost hit a kid on a bicycle? —No, I ________ the other way. A. was looking B. looked C. have looked D. am looking 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：——你注意到那个人差点撞到一个骑自行车的孩子了吗？——没有，我当时正看向另一个方向。根据问句中的Did you notice可知，事情发生在过去。答句表示在过去那个特定的时刻发生的动作，故使用过去进行时was/were doing。主语为I，谓语动词用was looking。 6. —What’s that noise, John? —Sorry, Linda. I forgot to tell you. The school library ______． A. is rebuilt B. is being rebuilt C. was rebuilt D. has been rebuilt 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】考查时态与语态。句意：——那是什么声音，约翰？ ——对不起，琳达。我忘了告诉你。学校图书馆正在重建。根据语境，学校图书馆正在被重建，应用现在进行时的被动语态。 7. ____ at the party, we saw Ruth standing alone in the corner of the hall. A. Arriving B. To arrive C. Arrive D. Arrived 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：到了宴会上，我看到 Ruth 一个人站在大厅的一角。句子的主语we和 arrive之间为主谓关系，故用arrive的现在分词形式。 8. Regular practice is a highway ________ a new skill. A. of mastering B. mastering C. to mastering D. to master 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：定期练习是掌握一项新技能的捷径。highway to...为固定搭配，意为“通向……的捷径/大道”，其中的to是介词，后面需要接动名词mastering。 9. The detective formed his theory ________ on the evidence collected on the spot. A. base B. based C. basing D. to base 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：这位侦探根据现场收集的证据形成了他的理论。句中已有谓语动词formed，且无连词，故空格处应填入非谓语动词。固定搭配be based on意为“根据，基于”，此处使用过去分词作方式状语或评注性状语。 10. Jerry really wants to buy the most fashionable bag ________ was designed by the famous designer. A. that B. which C. what D. who 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：Jerry真的很想买那个由著名设计师设计的最时尚的包。空处引导限制性定语从句，修饰先行词bag，且在从句中作主语。当先行词指物且被形容词最高级修饰时，关系代词只能用that。 11.

A. which B. where C. that D. when 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：吉姆无法忘记电影中的那一幕，猎人独自追逐那只奇怪的动物。空格处引导限制性定语从句，修饰先行词the scene，定语从句中主谓宾结构完整，不缺主语和宾语，先行词the scene在从句中作抽象的地点状语，需用关系副词where引导。 13. Where’s my car? I just parked it behind your house. It ________ now. A. disappeared B. had disappeared C. has disappeared D. will disappear 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：我的车在哪儿？我刚刚把它停在你房子后面了。它现在不见了。根据句意和时间状语now可知，车消失的动作发生在过去，但对现在造成了影响即现在车不在了，强调过去发生的动作对现在的影响或产生的结果，应用现在完成时即have/has done；主语it为第三人称单数，助动词用has，disappear的过去分词为disappeared。 14. With the audience ________ at her, the little girl felt nervous on the stage. A. staring B. to stare C. stare D. stared 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：观众盯着她看，小女孩在台上感到紧张。分析句子结构，此处考查with复合结构，空处需用非谓语动词作宾语补足语，与前面名词the audience构成主动关系，用现在分词形式，staring符合题意。故选A项。 15.

Nothing is more refreshing on a warm summer day than watching someone else work. Right now, I’m sitting on my porch and watching young Beth baling (打捆) the big field on top of the hill. She’s been haying that field for over ten years. I know: I put her on the tractor when she was just twelve years old. She picked a great day for baling. It’s not too hot, and there’s a nice breeze. On Monday, when she cut the field, it was so hot I thought the corn would start popping in the field. Didn’t stop her, though. She just stuck that big hat on her head, wrapped a wet handkerchief around her neck, and set to work. I remember when I would have done the same thing. While I’m here sucking a lemonade, Beth is driving the “hay (干草) train”, a tractor pulling a baler and an old wagon. You’d think someone her size would never be able to see over the tractor. But somehow she manages. When she’s finished, her tracks are very straight. The whole time she’s haying, that dog of hers is working just as hard, running along beside her like he’s afraid she’ll drive away without him. Beth sure knew what she was doing when she trained him. The way the machine works is pure poetry. Each row is pushed into shape. When just enough hay is in a bale, it is wrapped up and fastened together. A second or so later, the bale comes flying out and into the old wagon. The person who invented that machine sure was some kind of genius. That’s not to say it works perfectly. Every once in a while a bale misses the mark, especially when you are turning the machine at the end of a row. That means, of course, that you have to go back and pick up those bales and throw them into the wagon. I can remember when Beth’s mother was her age. She looked an awful lot like Beth does now. Makes a man proud to see his daughter and granddaughter taking such good care of themselves. Well, I suppose I should get up and fill this glass again. Not much fun sitting here with an empty glass. 31. We can learn from the passage that at some time in the past the author ________. A. bought the tractor for Beth B. forced Beth to work at an early age C. worked in the field like Beth D. trained the dog to help Beth work 32. In the eyes of the author, the sight of Beth baling hay is ________. A. uncommon B. beautiful C. unforgettable D. changeable 33. Before thrown into the wagon, the hay must be ________. A. tied up B. dried up C. cut up D. lined up 34. Who do you think is telling this story? A. Beth’s mother. B. Beth’s father. C. Beth’s grandmother. D. Beth’s grandfather. 【答案】31. C 32. B 33. A 34. D 【解析】 【导语】文章讲述了作者坐在门廊上，惬意地观看Beth在田间打干草的情景。作者赞叹Beth的勤劳与熟练，回忆往昔并感慨家族传承，字里行间流露出对晚辈的骄傲与温情。 【31题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段中“On Monday, when she cut the field, it was so hot I thought the corn would start popping in the field. Didn’t stop her, though. She just stuck that big hat on her head, wrapped a wet handkerchief around her neck, and set to work. (星期一，她收割地里的干草时天气太热，我甚至觉得田里的玉米会开始爆开。但这并没有阻止她。她只是把那顶大帽子戴在头上，用湿手帕绕住脖子，然后开始干活了。)”以及“I remember when I would have done the same thing.(我记得我以前也会做同样的事情。)”可知，作者过去也像Beth一样在田间劳作。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段中“Nothing is more refreshing on a warm summer day than watching someone else work.(在温暖的夏日，没有什么比看别人工作更让人神清气爽的了。)”以及第七段“The way the machine works is pure poetry.(机器运作的方式简直是纯粹的诗意。)”可知，在作者眼中，Beth打干草的场景是充满诗意、美好且令人愉悦的。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第七段“When just enough hay is in a bale, it is wrapped up and fastened together.(当一捆干草里的草量足够时，它就会被包裹并固定在一起。)”可知，干草在被扔进马车之前，必须先被打包捆好。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“I can remember when Beth’s mother was her age. She looked an awful lot like Beth does now. Makes a man proud to see his daughter and granddaughter taking such good care of themselves. (我记得Beth的母亲当时和她一样大。她看起来和现在的Beth非常像。看到自己的女儿和孙女把她们自己照顾得这么好，我感到十分自豪。)”可知，叙述者提到了他的女儿和孙女，且自称“a man”，因此叙述者是Beth的祖父。 B Unlike many surfers who sought the perfect wave, my interests always lay beneath the sea’s surface in a world I could only imagine and dream of. When I was twelve, I made my first adventures in the deep. Later I would learn how to dive, expanding my world of exploration many times over. Perhaps the greatest turning point in my life came when I was in high school and I wrote a letter to the famous Scripps Oceanographic Institution, asking how I might learn more about the sea. A kind scientist answered my letter and told me how to apply to Scripps for a summer scholarship, which I received. During one of their courses that summer, I met Dr. Robert Norris, a marine geologist. He loved the sea almost as much as I did. Soon he suggested I consider his school, the University of California, for my study. One year later I became a member of the freshman class. Now my love affair with the sea became a serious endeavor. If I wanted to be an undersea explorer, I needed to learn as much as I could about the laws of the physical world that controlled the environment I wanted to enter. The undersea world is not our natural world. It is unforgiving to those who make mistakes. At its greatest depths the water temperature is near freezing, the pressure is eight tons per square inch, and it is totally dark. It is easy to get lost in such a world. I needed to learn a lot about geography, navigation, geology, biology, and many other things. I decided another important thing for me to do was to join the U.S. Navy. If I was going to be an undersea explorer, I would have to lead men and women on dangerous adventures where they might get hurt, and I didn’t want that to happen. In the Navy I learned discipline, organization, and how to motivate and lead people on adventures so that we could explore the wonders of the deep. Finally, the time came to put all that I had learned to use, to go forth with a team of men and women and explore an adventure I am still on and hope to be on for many years to come. 35. What happened to the author at the age of twelve? A. He dreamed about undersea exploration. B. He began to swim under the deep water. C. He surfed on big waves for the first time. D. He learned to dive off the cliffs. 36. In college, the author took many different types of courses because he ________. A. was told it was easy to get lost in exploration B. was advised to take them by Dr. Robert Norris C. thought they were needed to fully understand the ocean D. believed it would help him succeed in the Navy 37. The author joined the Navy to ________. A. develop his leadership skills B. get along with people under stress C. learn about the dangers of the ocean D. gather specific information about ocean life 38. Which word can best describe the author? A. Imaginative. B. Optimistic. C. Independent. D. Ambitious. 【答案】35. B 36. C 37. A 38. D 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述作者从小热爱海底探索，求学、参军积累本领，立志投身深海探险事业的人生经历。 【35题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“When I was twelve, I made my first adventures in the deep. Later I would learn how to dive, expanding my world of exploration many times over.(我十二岁的时候，第一次到深海冒险。后来我学会了潜水，极大拓展了我的探索世界。)”可知，作者十二岁时开始在深水之下进行水下活动。 【36题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“If I wanted to be an undersea explorer, I needed to learn as much as I could about the laws of the physical world that controlled the environment I wanted to enter.(如果我想成为一名海底探险家，我就需要尽可能多地了解支配我所要进入环境的物理世界法则。)”可知，作者认为这些课程是充分了解海洋所必需的。 【37题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“If I was going to be an undersea explorer, I would have to lead men and women on dangerous adventures where they might get hurt, and I didn’t want that to happen.(如果我要成为一名海底探险家，我就必须带领男女队员开展危险探险，他们有可能受伤，而我不想这种情况发生。)”以及第五段中“In the Navy I learned discipline, organization, and how to motivate and lead people on adventures so that we could explore the wonders of the deep.(在海军中我学会了纪律、组织能力，以及如何激励和带领人们去探险，这样我们才能探索深海的奇观。)”可知，作者参军是为了培养自己的领导能力。 【38题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，作者心怀海底探索的理想，主动求学、参军历练，为探险事业储备能力，有远大追求。ambitious“有抱负的”最能描述作者。 C Learning to drive is important to the independence of teenagers, but it is also a great responsibility. Although having a law that keeps 16-year-old drivers from having more than one teenager in the car with them at first seems unfair, there are convincing reasons for this requirement. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety reports that teens are four times more likely than older drivers to be involved in an automobile accident. It also reports that 16-and-17-year-old drivers are twice as likely to have an accident if they have two teenage friends in the car and four times as likely to have one if they have three or more teenage friends in the car with them. Fatal (致命的) crashes of 16-year-old drivers involve the highest percentage of speeding, driver error, and number of passengers. This information is enough to cause any reasonable person to wonder about the wisdom of allowing new teen drivers to take a carload of friends anywhere, even if the law permits it. A study at the National Institutes of Health indicates that the part of the human brain that controls judgment and evaluates the consequences of our actions might not be fully formed until the age of 25. Until this study, researchers had placed the age at 18. If this is true, it could explain the reckless (鲁莽的) behavior of many teens, behavior that often extends into their twenties. It also could be a strong reason for being cautious about the driving circumstances of young people. This is not the only study that indicates such caution is necessary. One study at Temple University in Philadelphia examines the results of peer pressure in risky driving situations. The study, which uses a driving game, has an individual guide a car through a course, both alone and in the presence of friends. Three different age groups participated in the study: 13-16, 18-22, and 24 and older. Members of the oldest group showed caution whether driving alone or with friends present, but the two younger groups took more chances when they were with their friends. Furthermore, because these drivers were accustomed to the noise and distraction of many passengers, they were unable to see their own mistakes. Once again, this is a good indication that a law restricting the number of teenagers in the car with a young driver is a good idea. 39. What does the author mainly tell us in Paragraph 2? A. Many deaths have occurred because of inexperience and overconfidence. B. It’s reasonable to severely limit the passenger number of teen drivers. C. New teen drivers have to ask permission before driving with friends. D. There are many causes behind the teens’ driving accidents. 40. From the two studies, the author probably suggests that ________. A. different age groups have different peer pressure B. teenagers often give wrong judgments above passengers’ noise C. underdeveloped brain makes teens ignore their mistakes D. driving circumstances are bound up with the risk of accidents 41. We can infer that the law restriction can probably ________. A. protect teens on the highway B. raise teens’ sense of responsibility C. reduce the number of fatal crashes D. force teens to drive with caution 42. With which statement would the author most likely disagree? A. Some teenagers have risky behavior while driving. B. Certain laws treat teenagers and adults differently. C. We still need more studies on teen driving. D. Driving is important to a teenager’s sense of independence. 【答案】39. B 40. D 41. A 42. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了法律规定16岁的司机在车里不能有一个以上的青少年的必要性。 【39题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety reports that teens are four times more likely than older drivers to be involved in an automobile accident. It also reports that 16-and-17-year-old drivers are twice as likely to have an accident if they have two teenage friends in the car and four times as likely to have one if they have three or more teenage friends in the car with them. Fatal(致命的) crashes of 16-year-old drivers involve the highest percentage of speeding, driver error, and number of passengers. This information is enough to cause any reasonable person to wonder about the wisdom of allowing new teen drivers to take a carload of friends anywhere, even if the law permits it.(公路安全保险协会报告说，青少年发生车祸的可能性是老年司机的四倍。报告还指出，16岁和17岁的司机如果有两个十几岁的朋友在车里，发生事故的可能性会增加一倍，如果有三个或更多十几岁的朋友在车里，发生事故的可能性会增加四倍。16岁司机的致命车祸涉及超速、司机失误和乘客数量的比例最高。这些信息足以让任何一个理性的人怀疑，即使法律允许，允许青少年新手驾驶一车朋友去任何地方是否明智。)”可知，文章第二段主要讲述的是16岁和17岁的司机如果有两个十几岁的朋友在车里，发生事故的可能性会增加一倍，如果有三个或更多十几岁的朋友在车里，发生事故的可能性会增加四倍。因此严格限制青少年司机的乘客数量是合理的。故选B。 【40题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“It also could be a strong reason for being cautious about the driving circumstances of young people.(这也可能是对年轻人驾驶环境保持谨慎的一个强有力的理由。)”以及文章第四段“This is not the only study that indicates such caution is necessary.(这并不是唯一一项表明这种谨慎是必要的研究。)”可知，这两项研究表明驾驶环境与发生事故的危险密切相关。故选D。 【41题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety reports that teens are four times more likely than older drivers to be involved in an automobile accident. It also reports that 16-and-17-year-old drivers are twice as likely to have an accident if they have two teenage friends in the car and four times as likely to have one if they have three or more teenage friends in the car with them.
