A large dinner party is being given in an up-country station by a colonial official and his wife. The guests are army and government officers and their wives, and an American naturalist.At one side of the long table, a spirited discussion springs up between a young girl and an army officer. The girl insists women have long outgrown the jumping-on-a-chair-at-the-sight-of-a-mouse era, and that they are not as anxious as their grandmothers were. The officer says they are, arguing women haven't the actual nerve control of men."A woman's reaction in any crisis," the officer says, "is to scream. And while a man may feel like it, he has that ounce more of control than a woman has."The American scientist does not join in the argument but sits and watches the faces of the other guests. As he stares, he sees a slight, though strange look of anxiety come over the face of the hostess. With a small gesture she summons the servant standing behind her chair. She whispers to him. The servant's eyes widen. He turns quickly and leaves the room. No one else sees this, nor the servant when he puts a bowl of milk on the balcony outside the glass doors.The American understands. In India, milk in a bowl means only one thing. It is bait for a snake. He realizes there is a cobra in the room. The American's eyes move across the room but he sees nothing. He realizes the snake can only be in one place—under the table.His first reaction is to jump back and warn the others. But he knows any sudden movement will frighten the cobra and it will strike. He speaks quickly, the quality of his voice so arresting that it quietens everyone. "I want to know just what control everyone at this table has. I will count three hundred—that's five minutes —and not one of you is to move a single muscle. Now! Ready!"The 20 people sit like stone images while he counts. He is saying "…two hundred and eighty..." when, out of the corner of his eye, he sees the snake emerge and make for the bowl of milk. Four or five screams ring out as he jumps to slam shut the balcony doors."There is your proof!" the host says. "A man has just shown us real control.""Just a minute," the American says, turning to his hostess, "How did you know that cobra was in the room?"A faint smile comes across the woman's face as she replies. "Because it was lying across my foot."（1）What is the argument between the army officer and the young girl about?A.Whether women are afraid of mice.B.Whether men are calmer than women.C.Whether men are cleverer than women.D.Whether women would make suitable soldiers.（2）Why is the servant asked to put out some milk?A.To play a trick.B.To serve the guests.C.To attract the snake.D.To feed the hostess's pet.（3）Why does the scientist suggest the guests play a game?A.He doesn't want anyone to panic.B.He intends to test the officer's theory.C.He sees there was a snake in the room.D.He wants to entertain the other guests.（4）What does the author imply through the hostess's final statement?A.The army officer's opinion is wrong.B.The hostess understood the American's intention.C.The American was surprised by the snake's presence.D.The hostess has had previous experience dealing with snakes.6.Have you ever heard of a pawpaw（木瓜）? If not, do not feel bad. Most Americans do not know of the fruit, though it is native to the United States.Once, however, it was one of the most popular fruits in North America. Happily, those who love the pawpaw are trying to return it to its former position in American foods. A pawpaw is a tropical-like fruit that grows on trees found all over the eastern United States. It's also the largest fruit native to the US.It is similar to a typical mango in size. It has a dull green-colored skin, and a soft, almost-creamy orange inside. The pawpaw was not sold commercially in the past. The fruit requires a very special environment-low, wet areas that sometimes flood. It has a very short harvest season, from two to three weeks in September and October. In addition, the fruit is good to eat for only two to three days after harvesting. This makes it hard to sell anywhere distant from the pawpaw tree it came from.Planters are again growing pawpaw trees and harvesting the fruit. In several states farmers haveorganized "pawpaw festivals" to reintroduce people to the food. At such a festival in Maryland recently, farmers displayed different products made with pawpaws. There were pawpaw jams, pies, gelato（冰淇淋）and beer. Michael Judd helped organize the Maryland pawpaw festival.Farmers are trying to grow kinds of pawpaws that will be easier to ship and sell commercially. Donna and Jim Davis are pawpaw farmers in Westminster, Maryland. They said that they purchased their pawpaw trees in the 1990s and now sell the fruit at farmer's markets and online.（1）What can we know about the pawpaw according to the text?A.Its harvest season lasts long.B.It grows in Europe originally.C.It has already returned to its former position.D.It used to be well-received in North America.（2）What limited the pawpaw to being sold commercially in the past?A.It was unknown to the world.B.It's hard to grow, store and transport.C.It has similar taste with typical mangoes.D.The planters were unwilling to grow them for low profits.（3）Why do farmers hold "pawpaw festivals"?A.To show lots of delicious food to people.B.To make the pawpaw known to people again.C.To introduce people to a completely new fruit.D.To tell people the forgotten history about the fruit.（5）What is the best title for the text?A.The History of Pawpaws.B.How to Grow Pawpaws.C.The Comeback of Pawpaws.D.The Origin of Pawpaw Festival.四、七选五（本题共计 1 小题，共计5分）7. （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。

It could be something as simple as not gettingthe job you wanted, or getting fewer marks even after hard work.

At home, when he was not in bed, hehad to stay in a wheelchair. One day, he threw himself from the chair andpulled himself across the grass, dragging his legs behind him. He reached thefence, raised himself up and then began dragging himself along the fence,firmly determined. He did this every day, with faith in himself that he wouldbe able to walk unaided. With his iron determination, he did develop theability to stand up, then to walk on and off, then to walk by himself and thento run.He began to walk to school,and then run to school, to run for the joy of running.

Blueberries areparticularly high in antioxidants . The yellow andorange stone fruits such as peaches are high in the carotenoids we turn into vitaminA and which are antioxidants. As for cherries , theyare so delicious who cares?

But the amount of time spent in reading each session has declined, fromcloser to an hour or more to closer to a half hour per session.When it comes to technologyand reading, the report does little to counsel parents looking for dataabout the effect of e-readers and tablets on reading. It does point out thatmany parents still limit electronic reading, mainly due to concerns aboutincreased screen time.The most hopeful datashared in the report shows clear evidence of parents serving as examples andimportant guides for their kids when it comes to reading. Data shows that kidsand teens who do read frequently, compared to infrequent readers, have morebooks in the home, more books purchased for them, parents who read more often,and parents who set aside time for them to read.As the end of schoolapproaches, and school vacation reading lists loom ahead, parents might take this chance to step in and make theirown summerreading list and plan a family trip to the library or bookstore.（1）What is the Common Sense Media report probably about?A . Children’s reading habits.B . Quality of children’s books.C . Children’s after-class activities.D .

ARisks at Your TableSome of the “everyday foods” we eat hide some unhealthy features, which most people ignore. We take a look at some of the health risks being served to you!Energy DrinksYou’re tired and you still have to face a physical or mental stress, so what a better friend than an energy drink to overcome the effort? However, most energy drinks contain chemicals that are harmful if taken in quantities, with effects that are similar to the ones from several other illegal drugs, smoking and alcohol consumption.White BreadWhite bread is poorer in fiber and protein than other bread alternatives. Fiber helps our body to understand when it has eaten enough. The sense of fullness is important if we don’t want an extra-consumption of calories.Breakfast Cereals(麦片)Breakfast cereals fill out lots of shelves in every supermarket you get inside. They’re one of the favorite foods for our first meal of the day, because they’re simply delicious. What many people are not aware of is that these products are loaded with GM(转基因) organisms which affect our immune system. If you really can’t separate yourselves from breakfast cereals, maybe you could start considering some organic breakfast cereal alternatives.Fat-Free FoodsFat-free foods may look like the gold mine for a perfectly balanced and satisfying diet, but the reality is widely different. Fats are essential for many body functions and for its healthy development.A fat-cut is not advisable, especially when your workouts are regular. Plus, fat-free foods are usuallyhigh in processed sugar.21. Which is particularly improper for a man going to the gym regularly?A. Energy drinks.B. White bread.C. Breakfast cereals.D. Fat-free foods22. What do these four foods have in common?A. They are delicious and healthy.B. They contain harmful chemicals.C. They hide some harmful features.D. They lack some essential nutrients.23. In which section of a website can you probably find this passage?A. Health.B. Medicine.C. Culture.D. Science.BDo you know what you’d like to be when you grow up? It takes most people many years to find out. For the young artist Alexandra Nechita, it never really seemed to be a question. From the day she got down to painting at the age of two, she was an artist. Alexandra Nechita was born in Romania in 1985 and moved to California when she was still a baby. As a little child, she loved colouring in her colouring books. Her parents hoped she could spend more time playing with other children, so they took away her colouring books. Alexandra began drawing her own pictures and colouring them in.By the time Alexandra was seven years old, she had begun painting with oil paints. When Alexandra took a local art class, her teacher was amazed at the young artist’s unusual style of painting. Alexandra’s work was similar in some ways to the paintings by famous artists like Picasso. These artists did not use a realistic style of painting. They allowed their imaginations to play an important part in their work. The interesting thing was that little Alexandra had never seen the work of these artists. People called her “Little Picasso”, which was a great honour.Alexandra’s first public show was held at a Los Angeles public library when she was only eight years old. People were amazed at how young Alexandra was, but mostly they loved her imaginative artwork. It did not take long for Alexandra and her work to become famous. She appeared on television programmes and in newpers and magazines all over the world. The sale of a single piece can earn the young artist thousands of dollars. But that is not why Alexandra creates artwork. She just cannot imagine doing anything else that would bring her such joy and satisfaction.Today, Alexandra is a full-time artist. She also works to help support the arts in schools. Alexandra is a strong believer in the power of art as a tool of communication and a bridge to building peacethroughout the world.24.

It is absolutely the case in Turkey where garbage collectors started collecting books that have been thrown away and ended up opening a library.It started when garbage man Durson Ipek found a bag of abandoned books when he was working and then it snowballed from there. Ipek and other garbage men started gathering the books they found on the streets that were ready for landfills(垃圾填埋地) and as their collection started to grow, so did word of mouth. Soon, local residents started donating books directly. The library was initially available only to the garbage employees and their families to use but as the collection grew, so did public interest and the library was opened to the public in 2017.“On the one hand, there were those who were leaving these books on the streets. On the other hand, others were looking for these books,” Ankaya mayor Alper Tasdelen told CNN. “We started to discuss the idea of creating a library from these books. When everyone supported it, this project happened.”All the books that are found are sorted and checked for condition. If they pass, they go on theshelves. Today, the library has over 6,000 books that range from fiction to nonfiction and there’s a very popular children’s section that even has a collection of comic books. An entire section is devoted to scientific research and there are also books available in English and French. The collection has grown so large that the library loans books to schools and educational programs.“Village school teachers from all over Turkey are requesting books,” Tasdelen told CNN. The government has to hire a full-time employee to manage the library.This library is incredibly popular. It is frequently filled with the children of the city’s workers and students from nearby schools. There is a waiting room set up for readers and chess boards for the people who visit the library. You can even enjoy a cup of tea in the waiting room.28. What does the underlined word “snowballed” in paragraph 2 probably mean?A. Grew slowly.B. Developed rapidly.C. Declined quickly.D.

To raise people’s awareness of recycling.B. To classify and check the donated books.C. To meet the huge demand from rural teachers.D. To expand the social influence of the library.31. What can be inferred about the library from the last paragraph?A. It provides a very considerate service.B. It’s crowded with readers every day.C. It needs to improve its management.D. It’s an excellent place to enjoy tea.DFour “amateur(业余的) astronauts” are about to launch into orbit in another landmark mission for ce tourism. It’s the latest flight to help open up access to ce for paying customers. The trip has been paid for by US billionaire businessman Jared Isaacman, who will travel with three crewmates(机组同事). A healthcare worker, a science educator and a data analyst will circle the Earth with Mr. Isaacmanfor three days. They hope to inspire others with their adventure and to raise money for children’s cancer medicine. Accordingly, the mission has been named Inspiration 4.The crew’s Dragon vehicle, made by Elon Musk’s company ce X, will ride a Falcon-9 rocket. It is due to launch from Florida’s Kennedy ce Center at 20:02 EDT on Wednesday, or very shortly after. The cecraft will reach an altitude of 575km, which is about 150km higher than the International ce Station (ISS). The four will then spend their time doing experiments and looking at Earth through a large domed(圆顶状的) window which offers panoramic views of the whole planet.The mission follows hot on the heels of Sir Richard Branson’s flight aboard his Virgin Galactic rocket plane on 11 July, and fellow billionaire Jeff Bezos’s trip to ce nine days later in the New Shepard vehicle. The glass dome has been fitted in place of the mechanism that Dragon normally uses to dock(对接) with the ISS, which isn’t needed on this flight.In the 60 years since Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin first went into ce, fewer than 600 people have followed in his footsteps, and most of those have been military-trained personnel flying on government-sponsored missions. Inspiration 4 is different. It’ll be a fully commercially purchased and operated orbital flight. NASA helped fund the development of a lot of the technology used by Elon Musk’s company, and did so to tryto diversify the economy in low-Earth orbit.32. Why is the mission called Inspiration 4 according to paragraph 1?A. To promote the ce tourism industry.B. To highlight the huge expenses of the ce trip.C. To claim the commercial benefits of ce adventures.D. To inspire people and collect money for medical treatment.33. What can we learn about the great mission?A. Its crew members are mostly military trainees.B. The launch schedule is to be further confirmed.C. It is to be made nine days after Jeff Bezos’ ce trip.D. A glass dome will be fitted to replace the mechanism to join the ISS.34. What is the function of the “large domed window” according to paragraph 2?A. It ensures the success of the mission.B. It enables the crew to observe surrounding planets.C. The crew can get a full view of the earth through it.D. The crew can take advantage of it to do experiments.35. What is the passage mainly about?A. A commercially paid orbital flight.B. The diversity of ce exploration.C. The development of ce technology.D. A ce tour on government-sponsored missions.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。

辽宁省名校联盟2024-2025学年高二上学期第一次月考考试英语试卷一、阅读理解Four Self-Portraits (自画像) by Famous ArtistsRaphael (Raffaello Sanzio da Urbino)—“Self-Portrait”, 1506One of the beautiful self-portraits by famous artist Raphael was drawn at the age of 23. It measures around 45cm×33cm and is located at the world-famous Uffizi Gallery. The Italian painter used oil on board to draw his self-portrait, which was the clearest and the most recognizable self-portraits of Raphael himself.Leonardo da Vinci—“Portrait of a Man in Red Chalk”, 1512“Portrait of a Man in Red Chalk”is a self-portrait of da Vinci at the age of 60 and measures around 33.3cm×21.6cm, which is on display in Biblioteca Reale, Turin, Italy. It is drawn with red chalk on paper and represents the head of an elderly man in a three-quarter view. In the portrait, the length of the hair is uncommon in Renaissance (文艺复兴) portraits.Rembrandt van Rijn—“Self-Portrait with Beret and Turned-up Collar”, 1659Dutch painter Rembrandt van Rijn painted his self-portrait in 1659 when he was 53 years old. It shows his worried expression that clearly portrays the troubled condition of his mind at that point of his life since the year 1659 was a year of anxiety for him. This self-portrait found its place among the Benjamin Altman Collection, which has been exhibited in the Metropolitan Museum of Art since 1913.Edgar Degas—“Degas Au Porte-Fusain’”, l855Edgar Degas made this self-portrait only when he was twenty-one years old. It was one of the most remarkable of his fifteen self-portraits. Degas was seated as seemingly without fear and anxiety. The pose in the painting was formal and academic. The painting is located in the musée d’Orsay, Paris, France.1．Where should visitors go if they want to admire Raphael’s self-portrait in 1506?A．Uffizi Gallery.B．Biblioteca Reale.C．The musée d’Orsay.D．The Metropolitan Museum of Art.2．Which aspect of Portrait of a Man in Red Chalk was special during the Renaissance?A．The red clothing.B．The formal pose.C．The long hair.D．The worried expression.3．Which painter was the youngest when painting the above-mentioned self-portraits?A．Raphael.B．Edgar Degas.C．Leonardo da Vinci.D．Rembrandt van Rijn.Finnish Lapland, in the far north of Europe, is home to some 180,000 people and around 200,000 reindeer (驯鹿). The animals live wild but each one has an owner, identified by a mark on its ear. Anne Ollila, 50, one of 4,000 such owners, works in the Finnish part of this region with her husband and two adult sons and their families. They farm the animals mainly for meat, but reindeer tourism has also become an important source of income.Ollila lives 80 kilometres inside the Arctic Circle, an hour from Lapland’s capital city, Rovaniemi, and seven kilometres from her nearest neighbour. Summer days — when the reindeer raisers earmark newborn reindeer — are long and in June the sun never sets. At that time Ollila sleeps during the day and walks up to 20 kilometres a night through the forest, making the most of the cooler temperatures to do her work but having to endure large groups of insects along the way.In deepest winter, there is little daylight. Many grasslands are frozen and the reindeer move into the forest for protection against wolves and golden eagles — the birds can kill an adult reindeer.Ollila and her family offer tourists reindeer experiences through their company Reindeer Journey. Visitors can get close to the animals in the wild or at their farm, watching them being trained to pull sledges (雪橇) or take a sleigh ride.“Reindeer are very smart animals,” Ollila says. “They have different personalities, and some are very funny.” One of her favourites is Rocky, named after the movie boxing legend. “He’s very curious and always in trouble,” she says. “He once got himself stuck in tree branches and had to be lifted out, and he has been known to walk off with his owners’ drying underwear.”Ollila gave up her job as a sociology researcher at the University of Lapland in 2010 to devote herself to raising reindeer. “I love the environment, the animals and the freedom,” she says. “Also, I have a sense of belonging to something bigger than me, to a way of life through thegenerations.”4．What does the underlined word “endure” in paragraph 2 mean?A．Go away with.B．Catch up with.C．Look forward to.D．Put up with.5．Why do the reindeer move into the forest in winter according to the text?A．To get earmarked.B．To find their owners.C．To protect themselves.D．To avoid cold temperatures.6．What does Ollila think of Rocky?A．He is foolish.B．He is a troublemaker.C．He is interested in planting trees.D．He is a famous filmmaker.7．What can we infer about Ollila from the last paragraph?A．She has a deep affection for nature.B．She has long been tired of raising reindeer.C．She has been a sociology researcher since 2010.D．She had no chance to receive a college education.Over the years, movies and books have used tornadoes to sweep their characters off to magical lands, to destroy entire cities, or to defeat a superhero’s dangerous super villain (恶棍). All of these tornadoes have one thing in common: They are incredibly powerful. They can have wind speeds over 300 miles per hour (mph), grow over a mile wide, and travel over 50 miles. They are incredibly dangerous and should be avoided at all costs.Scientists can’t go inside tornadoes, which means that they are extremely hard to research. As a result, we know surprisingly little about them. In order to tell how powerful a tornado is, scientists look at how much destruction it causes. Scientists then rank the tornado on the Enhanced Fujita Scale (级别) (EF-Scale), which ranges from EF0 to EF5. For example, a tornado that only damages trees but doesn’t significantly damage buildings would be rated EFO with wind speeds between 65 and 85 mph. A tornado that blows away buildings and tears up sidewalks, on the other hand, would be rated EF5 with wind speeds over 200 mph.The most powerful tornado in United States history occurred near Oklahoma City in1999. It had wind speeds over 310 mph, the highest wind speed ever recorded on Earth. A tornado withwind speeds that high can not only pick up and throw automobiles, but also knock over trains and tear up roadways.Luckily for anyone living in an area that experiences the occasional tornadoes, they usually only last one to ten minutes. More powerful tornadoes can last over an hour in the right conditions, but they are very rare.If you find yourself experiencing a tornado, find a safe place inside, like an interior hall, basement or closet. Stay away from windows and heavy objects that could fall on you, and lie on your stomach with your hands protecting the back of your head. Having a tornado emergency plan is extremely important as tornadoes can appear very quickly. Make sure to listen to the radio or television to stay updated on serious weather patterns in your area.8．Which of the following is probably the wind speed of an EF4 tornado?A．65 mph.B．85 mph.C．200 mph.D．310 mph.9．What can we learn from the example given in paragraph 3?A．Tornadoes can do great harm.B．American cars need developing.C．Oklahoma City had no trains in 1999.D．The strongest tornado occurred in the UK. 10．What is the last paragraph mainly about?A．What a tornado is.B．How a tornado forms.C．Tips to survive a tornado.D．How to recognize a tornado.11．Where is the text most probably taken from?A．A guidebook to the USA．B．An introduction to a historical book.C．A review of famous movies.D．An article on natural disasters.When Adele released (发行) her 2011 single Someone Like You, this bittersweet song is popular with millions worldwide. More than a decade later, it remains one of her most popular songs. Her artistry, as well as that of many others who have mastered the art of making listeners feel moved with slow and emotional beats, has a way of managing the emotional pain of heartbreak and loss.Listening to favorite songs could also reduce people’s feelings of pain, according to a new study published in the journal Frontiers in Pain Research. And the most effective pain relievers were found to be sad songs detailing bittersweet and emotional experiences.“It doesn’t take the place of medicine when you have a headache, but music can help reduce your pain,” said Patrick Stroman, a professor at Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario. He didn’t join in the study. “Unlike other medications,” he noted, “there is no side effect or risk in listening to music (just keep the volume at a reasonable level).”The small study invited 63 young adults to bring one of their favorite songs. The researchers also had the young adults pick one of seven songs that the team considered relaxing and were unfamiliar to the study participants. All the while, the researchers stuck a hot object — similar to the pain of a boiling hot teacup on the participants’ skin — to their left inner forearms. When rating their experiences, people were more likely to report feeling less pain when listening to their favorite songs compared with hearing the unfamiliar relaxing songs.With millions of songs available, one person’s favorite song is likely not the same as another. After interviewing the participants about the song they brought and their rating of pain, the researchers found people who listened to bittersweet and moving songs felt less pain than when they listened to songs with calming or cheerful themes (主题).“It’s a very cool result,” said lead study author Darius Valevicius, a doctoral student of neurosciences at the University of Montreal. “I think it’s why I myself and probably many people choose to listen to bittersweet or even spiritual music.”12．Why does the author mention Adele in the first paragraph?A．To reach a conclusion.B．To lead in the topic.C．To offer a suggestion.D．To provide the background.13．What is Stroman’s attitude to the effect of listening to music?A．Doubtful.B．Positive.C．Unclear.D．Unconcerned. 14．What did the participants do in the new study?A．They reported their feelings of pain.B．They interviewed many musicians.C．They made various kinds of teacups.D．They picked out the music they don't like. 15．Which is the most suitable title for the text?A．When Is the Best Time to Listen to Music?B．How Do You Create Popular Songs Quickly?C．The Best Way to Reduce Pain Might Be to Write MusicD．Certain Types of Music Could Help You Feel Less PainWhen we are kids, we laugh a lot. But as we become adults, it is much more difficult to laugh so easily. Do you laugh too little in your life? Do you remember how you used to laugh before, as a child?16 . It’s a great way to relax, not just on a purely emotional level, but also physically. It can reduce our blood pressure. It also contributes to the release of hormones (荷尔蒙) that are good for our health. 17 . It helps us feel more at ease around new people and also connects us with others.Sometimes, you might feel like there is not much cause to laugh. Life can be tough. But laughter is, if not the best medicine, a good support to have for tough times and for good times as well. So you should allow yourself to laugh as you used to.A good idea is to give yourself permission to play. Play is a natural activity that promotes a lot of laughter, whether it's through video games, outdoor games, or board games. 18 .Laughter comes from being with others. 19 . Hang out with family members that are nice to be around, with whom you can have fun, laugh, and enjoy yourself. Give your time to those who can share your laughter.More than anything, learn to develop humor. 20 . Laugh at your mistakes and learn to laugh at yourself. Then you will be surprised by the changes you will see in your life.A．You don’t have to be meanB．Laughter has a lot of benefitsC．Don’t take yourself too seriouslyD．Try to see your friends more oftenE．Watch videos to help you correct your mistakesF．In addition to these, laughing has a social functionG．Just discover what you like to play and have fun with it二、完形填空It was just an ordinary workday for Evoni Williams, an 18-year-old employee at Waffle House in La Marque, Texas. The place was 21 , as usual, with a continuous 22 ofcustomers coming in and out. Then, a 78-year-old customer reached out to her asking for help with his 23 .
