B Wilson noted the people whom he admired in his autobiography.They are individuals who "concentrate all the courage and self-discipline they possess toward a single worthy goal: explorers,mountain climbers,military heroes,and a very few scientists." Wilson's formula for being a hero is simple but difficult to follow.You need to"drive toward discouraging goals with nerves dealt with failure and a willingness to accept pain."You need to be a scientist like Philip Jackson Darlington,one of Wilson's early heroes. In the 1940s,Darlington was in pursuit of insects in the jungles of Papua New Guinea in the southwest Pacific.A crocodile (took him in its iaws and dragged him underwater.He escaped,but his right hand was permanently injured.Yet he went on to greatly expand our knowledge of the insects of Papua New Guinea and other parts of the world."I acknowledge," Wilson told us,"that to fight off a crocodile is an act of survival,not proof of character.But to go where crocodiles live is." When Wilson was 23 and ready to set off on his first field trip to collect insects in the tropics(热带地区)，he went to Darlington for advice..“Most people,.”Darlington shared,.“take it easy when they go in the field."He told Wilson not to stay on the trails but to walk in a straight 'line through the forest."Try to go over any barrier you meet,"he advised."It's hard,but it's the best way to collect.” Darlington's advice for ant collecting might be considered a metaphor for the way Wilson began his career and lived for nine decades.Life can be hard.Steel yourself to it;face its challenges.Do not fear-the hard way is the right way.Be brave,be driven,and keep your mind and best eye open. 高一英语第一学期期中考试试卷 2 24.Why could Darlington be Wilson's hero?

D.Choosing to face danger is courageous. 26.What was Dariington's suggestion for field research? A.Focus on collecting common insects. B.Go straight and overcome obstacles.

C.An inspiration to face difficulties. D.A record of scientific achievements. C Spending time in nature may do more than relax us-it could also help teenagers focus better at school.A study from a university in Europe followed 64 students aged 16 to 18 for one term.The researchers wanted to find out whether short breaks in green spaces,such as parks and school gardens,could improve attention and lower stress. The students took part in a simple test.After a normal morning of class,one group spent 20 minutes in a nearby park,while a control group stayed in the classroom and did quiet reading.Both groups then took the same short attention test at school. After several weeks,the results were clear.Students who took the "green break"scored higher on the attention test than those who stayed inside.More surprisingly,they said they felt calmer and less stressed."We knew nature would help,"said Dr.Lin,who led the study, "but the size of the change was larger than we imagined." Why does nature help?The team explains that natural settings give the brain a soft,caim kind of rest.Unlike screens and crowded rooms,green environments let attention recover, much like muscles after a short break.Interestingly,the effect was strongest among students who usually felt the most anxious. The study does not suggest that parks can replace classrooms.Instead,it points to a simple,low-cost way to support teenage well-being:a short daily walk outside.As cities grow and screen time rises,such small habits may matter more than we think.Schools,the researchers suggest,should consider adding"green breaks"to the daily schedule. 28.What was the main purpose of the study? A.To compare different teaching methods in schools. B.To test if green spaces improve teenagers'attention and reduce stress. C.To find out how many students like visiting parks. D.To prove that classrooms are no longer useful. 29.How was the study carried out? A.All students read quietly in the classroom every morning. 高一英语第一学期期中考试试卷 B.Group A exercised in a park while Group B took tesis at home. C.One group spent time in a park and the other read quietly as a control. D.Students took the attention test only once at the end of the term. 30.What did Dr.Lin say about the results? A.They were exactly what the team had expected. B.The improvement was smaller than they had imagined. C.The change was larger than they had expected. D.They showed no clear difference between the groups. 31.What can we infer from the passage? A.Natural settings tire the brain as much as screens do.. B.The most anxious students benefited least from the park time. C.Short daily"green breaks"could become a practical school habit. D.Attention tests are not reliable for teenage students. Ecotourism(生态旅游)has got great attention in recent years as a form of travel that focuses on the protection of natural environments and the health and happiness of local communities.It is a responsible way of exploring natural areas and helpful to both the environment and the economy.It's like going on a trip that's good for both the plants and animals and the local economy. Let's think about African elephants.People used to take their ivory (for money,but it's much better to keep them alive.Elephants can make a lot more money if people come to see them in their natural home.One elephant can be worth about 1.3 million during its life. Ecotourism is a better way to develop economy and do less harm to nature. Places like nature reserves (and national parks stop people from cutting down trees and making pollution.They also keep the homes of animals safe.The money from ecotourism can take the place of money made by mining()or destroying forests.It also makes sure the area has a positive development for a long time.Guides teach us why clean nature is important and how to protect it,making us better travelers. When ecotourism is done right,it can help local people make money in new ways.In countries with lots of wildlife,like Rwanda,people who used to hunt animals can now work as guides.This uses their knowledge of the animals and their homes.When local people are part of managing tourism,they get more money to improve community projects in education, transportation,and health care.Ecotourism also lets local people stay on their land,keep it clean, and keep their traditions. Being an ecotourist means you care about the places you visit.But it also gives you amazing experiences,helping you connect with nature,animals,and the people you meet on your trip.Once you've had this kind of travel you might not want to travel in the old way again. 32.Why does the writer mention African elephants? A.To give an example of ecotourism. 高一英语第一学期期中考试试卷 4 B.To show where to experience ecotourism C.To compare their value with other animals. D.To draw readers'attention to natural beauty. 33.What do nature reserves and national parks do for ecotourism? A.They attract more tourists. B.They change the role of guides. C.They allow the locals to visit for free. D.They stop bad behaviors and protect animals. 34.How does ecotourism help former hunters in Rwanda? A.By keeping their hunting tradition. B.By educating them about ecotourism. C.By providing them with jobs in ecotourism. D.By improving their survival skills in the wild. 35.What would be the best title for the passage? A.A Powerful Way of Animal Protection B.The History of Ecotourism Development. C.Ecotourism:A Help for Local Communities. D.Ecotourism:A Win-Win for Nature and Economy. 第二节七选五（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。选项中有两项为多余选 项。 The introduction of AI-driven virtual classrooms is a great new development in modem education.Virtual learning environments and AI are working together to change education, influencing both students and teachers. .36AI checks individual performance and learning habits to create suitable study plans.This method increases student interest and fills knowledge gaps.Most importantly,it ensures each student learns at their own pace.
