The male newborn was found on North Core Banks, part of the Cape Lookout National Seashore. The reports indicate that the animal died during birth or shortly after, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration(NOAA). Scientists took DNA to determine the calf’s mother.This is the beginning of the right whale’s reproduction(繁殖) season, which begins mid-November and runs through mid-April. NOAA called this death a disastrous start to the season. Each new right whale calf brings so much hope for this badly endangered animals, and losses like this have a great impact on their recovery, NOAA said.The right whale is one of the rarest marine mammals(哺乳动物) in the world, according to NOAA. They will soon be extinct unless something is done to save it, researchers warn. This kind of whale has been experiencing an Unusual Death Event over the past three years, according to NOAA. Since 2017, at least 32 dead and 13 seriously wounded whales have been documented by the organization. “This means more than 10 percent of the remaining population,” according to NOAA.NOAA posted a piece of news on Monday, the same day they announced the calf’s death, warning boaters to be watchful as the whales are migrating(迁徙) nearly 1,000 miles along the Atlantic Coast. The organization calls for boaters to be watchful, slow down and to give these endangered whales plenty of room. They also ask all fishermen to remove their unused nets from the ocean to help avoid possibledamage.4. Why did scientists take DNA of the calf?A. To save its mother.B. To confirm its identity.C. To determine the time of its death.D. To uncover the cause of its death.5. How many right whales are left according to the passage?A. About 40.B. About 50.C. About 400.D. About 500.6. What do we know aboutNorth Atlanticright whales?A. Their reproduction season usually last about half a year.B. They are the rarest marine mammals in the world.C. They are experiencing a high death rate of newborns.D. Their habitat runs nearly 1,000 miles along the coast.7. What’s the main purpose of the news posted on Monday?A. To announce the calf’s unusual death.B. To remind boaters to watch the whales.C. To protect the boats against the whales.D. To assist the whales’ seasonal migration.CThe herd of elephants moving north after leaving the Xishuangbanna National Nature Reserve in Yunnan province has drawn widespread public attention, with tens of millions of people following its movement on TV programs and social media platforms.But this is not because it’s the first time wild Asian Elephants have wandered away from their habitat and headed northward, but for only this time the herd has traveled more than 400 kilometers as far as Kunming. Photographs, videos and stories of the herd’s movement have sparked widespread discussions even overseas.However, there is a need to go behind the “cute photos” and the seemingly “fantastic” event and identify the reasons why wild elephants are leaving their habitat, and find ways to establish harmonious human-animal relationship within habitats and the surrounding forests and human settlements. It is important to scientifically mark the limits of the habitats for elephants and other animals in Xishuangbanna and elsewhere in the country for ecological reasons as well.Planting trees is a key and fundamental step toward restoration of nature. Yet long-term investment and a more scientific approach are needed to maintain the remaining forests as well as to extend the forest cover and strengthen conservation.Nevertheless, tree cover alone doesn’t mean a suitable habitat for all animals, for different species need different types of vegetation to survive and breed. The elephant herd in Yunnan is a reminder that we have to scientifically conserve the existing forests and turn them into suitable habitats for different species of animals and birds, which will ultimately benefit humans.More ambitious targets should be set to rebuild or improve the food chain, and measures taken to ensure forest resources help wildlife flourish, in order to establish a harmonious human-animal relationship.Forests around the globe are still shrinking, particularly those in tropical and developing countries. The nextdecade therefore will be extremely important for the world’s forests and wildlife, and China can play a leading role in saving them by better protecting its forests and expanding its forest cover.8. Why has the herd of elephants caused so much public interest?A. There exist heated discussions in the whole country even overseas.B. TV programs and social media platforms want to benefit from them.C. They are the first wild Asian Elephants to leave their natural habitat.D. The elephants has traveled a long distance and lived in harmony with humans.9. What can we infer from the third paragraph about the “fantastic” event?A. More research on the reasons behind the event is required.B. Scientists need to limit the habitats for elephants and other animals.C. People should find ways to have a good relationship with elephants.D. There’s an urgent demand for detailed information about the elephants.10. Which method is provided in the passage to restore nature?A. Expanding the coverage of forest.B. Getting the government’s policy support.C. Bringing up various ways to protect the forests.D. Offering more kinds of vegetation to all animals.11. What does this event of elephants leaving their habitats remind us to do?A. To set more goals to change the food chain.B. To be aware of the situation of the existing forests.C. To realize harmonious coexistence of human and nature.D. To reduce the destruction of the forests around the globe.DUntil quarantine (隔离期) ends, we are left picturing what sport we might do: working out at the gym, playing on a competitive sports team, swimming, biking, or rock climbing. However, we don’t often think of martial arts as possible activities; instead, we rule it out because we think it’s dangerous, uncommon, and even, impossible. Martial arts aren’t considered a sport, right?Well, here’s some good news: you’re wrong! Martial arts aren’t much more common than people think, and you can start learning at any age. Practicing martial arts is a great way to keep in shape, both physically and mentally. They’re much less boring and much lessarduoussport than they’re usually described as in movies, so donot worry that they need a lot of effort.Martial arts generally require you to focus on the position and movement of every one of your legs and arms, sometimes even your breathing too. Think about it: when you leave the gym, your mental state has improved and you are much calmer. This is because you’ve only paid attention to one activity. It is a great way to clear your head. Andpracticing it can help you learn to stay more focused, which is the greatest advantage of martial arts training.Martial arts also improve your coordination (协调性), and greatly improve your posture (姿势). I have personally seen students go from slouching (没精打采) to walking tall with their shoulders back in just a couple of months.There are many styles and countless kinds of martial arts. Whichever one you like better, know that all of them are good choices.12. What can we know about martial arts from the first two paragraphs?A. They often have people hurt.B. They are difficult to practice.C. People have a wrong view on it.D. People practice them more often.13. What does the underlined word “arduous” in paragraph 2 mean?A. Interesting.B. Difficult.C. Friendly.D. Exciting.14. What is the biggest benefit of practicing martial arts?A. Adjusting the breath.B. Enjoying one’s free time.C. Correcting the movement.D. Keeping one’s attention.15. What does the writer think of martial arts?A. They are notsports.B. They attracted many teenagers.C. They are beneficial and helpful.D. They were invented to protect others.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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。

江苏省徐州市铜山区2024-2025学年高一上学期11月期中英语试题
江苏省徐州市铜山区2024-2025学年高一上学期11月期中英语试题一、阅读理解Sunday, 31 AugustWe’ve been in China for a month now. Dad, Mom, Harry and I moved to Tianjin on 25 August. We’re not very far from Beijing. Two days ago, we celebrated my 16th birthday. It was great celebrating in China; the only thing that was strange was the cake — here they’re not as sweet as the ones in New York. On Monday, school starts — I wonder what it will be like. Monday, 1 SeptemberOn my first day, I was looking around for a locker to put my books in. However, here all the students keep all of their books at their desks. We stay in the same classroom because apparently, we don’t have to go from class to class — teachers come to us!Today, we selected teacher assistants for each subject. Their duties are to collect homework, make announcements, and do other stuff (事情) for the teachers and the students. It’s kind of a big deal here! Since I am from the US, I was asked to be the English assistant. I felt so proud but quite nervous at the same time because I wasn’t sure what I had to do, but I accepted the job anyway. Friday, 3 OctoberBoy, what a week! Now we have nine classes every day, including the morning class, a combination of our American schools’ “Homeroom ” and “Study Hall”. I think Chinese students work too much! I have to do my homework when I get back home. I don’t even have time to watch TV or surf the Internet like before. I sometimes miss New York and my school because we didn’t have to study so much. We had more time to hang out with our classmates and neighbors; here, besides their usual classes, students are involved in weekend classes in subjects such as English, Chinese and math.I get a lot of attention, being from another country. Everyone wants to practice English with me! A really cute girl even asked me for my phone number on my second day and sent me a text message! I’m making a lot more friends now. I just need a lot of help to improve my Chinese. Some students want to do a language exchange program with me. Nice!1．The passage mentions all the following points EXCEPT ______.A．food taste B．physics studyC．free time activities D．language exchange programs 2．According to the passage, which of the following is NOT the teacher assistant’s duty?A．Collecting homework.B．Making announcements.C．Helping teachers with small errands (差事).D．Teaching classmates.3．Where is this passage most probably from?A．A newspaper.B．A guide book.C．A diary.D．A magazine.A group of middle-aged dads formed a dance team to perform at their kids’ school but unexpectedly gained popularity on social media, having over 300,000 followers-one of them is famous actor Hugh Jackman. The “Outta” Puff Daddys first came together in 2012 in Brighton for a surprise performance at their children’s annual dance show.Having never danced as a job before and ranging in age from 42 to 60, the dads were taught by their kids’ street dance teacher for the surprise performance. They received a good reception, so they decided to carry on permanently.Paul Jukes, 48, said dancing together has enabled the members to get through unemployment and anxiety. “Even though I’m the leader and artistic director of the team, I’m not normally the most confident guy,” said Jukes, whose team name is Jukebox. “If we’re in a party situation, we’re off at the side, but when we’re together, those inhibitions(拘束感) are lost, and we just accept life to the fullest.”The dance team members remember the moment when they surprised their kids at the dance show. “We performed at the Brighton Dome which seats 2,000 people, so for our first live dance performance, it was quite something. We took the roof off,” Jukes said. “The noise was crazy and of course, the kids in the audience were blown away. They were shouting, ‘Hang on a second; that’s your dad.’ Most people might think our kids would be embarrassed by us but none of them had that feeling. All our families and kids were really supportive and really loved it. And it has been considered cool by them to have such a large following on Instagram.” The team has to adaptto its members’ changing bodies as they get older, but that has not stopped them from continuing to dream big, which sets a good example to their kids.4．What’s special about the dance team?A．It helps with school dance instructions.B．Its members are all inexperienced.C．It regularly posts videos on social media.D．Its members are guided by famous dancers.5．How has the dance team influenced Paul Jukes?A．It has inspired him to take up new hobbies.B．It has improved his health and leadership skills.C．It has helped him build confidence in a tough time.D．It has strengthened his relationship with his family.6．How did the kids react to their dads’ dance performance?A．They were amazed and proud of their dads.B．They were embarrassed but showed understanding.C．They considered following Jukebox on social media.D．They joined their dads to complete the performance together.7．Which of the following is the best title for the text?A．Dancing is beneficial to people of all ages.B．Talented dads celebrate their kids’ interest.C．A dance team is winning popularity among adults.D．A dance team consisting of middle-aged dads goes popular.Adults are often ashamed to ask for help. Seeking someone’s help can make you feel like you are broadcasting your inability. New research suggests young children don’t seek help in school for the same reason.Kayla Good, a graduate student at Stanford University, and Alex Shaw, an associate professor of psychology at the University of Chicago, applied a classic technique to learn more about how children think about reputation: Across several studies, they asked 576 children aged four to nine, to predict the behavior of two characters, Tom and Jack, in a story. Tom genuinelywanted to be smart, and Jack only wanted to seem smart to others. In one study, they told children both characters did poorly on a test, and asked which of them would be more likely to raise their hands in front of their class to ask the teacher for help.The four-year-olds were equally likely to choose either of the two characters as the one who would seek help. But by age seven or eight, children thought Jack would be less likely to ask for help. And children's expectations were truly “reputational” in nature — they were specially thinking about how the characters would act in front of peers. They could still imagine situations where Jack would seek help: when it could be sought privately (on a computer rather than in person), children thought both characters were equally likely to ask for it.Given the findings, it seems quite possible that when children themselves are the ones struggling, they, too, might avoid seeking out help if they are concerned about reputation. If so, the unwillingness to seek help when others are present could clearly impede learning progress. To improve in any field, one must work hard, take on challenging tasks, and ask questions. However, the situation can be difficult when someone is concerned about their impressions on others. 8．What were the children asked to predict about the two characters?A．Their bad behaviors.B．Their learning progress.C．Their likeliness to get help.D．Their potential for seeking help.9．Who was likely to seek private aid according to the eight-year-olds?A．Tom.B．Jack.C．Both.D．Neither. 10．What does the underlined word “impede” in paragraph 4 probably mean?A．Prevent.B．Ensure.C．Quicken.D．Monitor. 11．What is the author’s suggestion for kids?A．Be ready to help others.B．Be brave to ask for help.C．Care more about reputation.D．Make efforts to be smarter.After waking up, you may feel annoyed that you cannot recall the dreams you had last night. Artificial intelligence (AI) may be able to help.Previously, there have been AI models that can turn text into images. They can do this bylearning from a large amount of data from both tests and images. This time, researchers from Osaka University in Japan have trained an AI system called Stable Diffusion to recreate images based on people’s brain scans, reported Science magazine.The researchers used an online data set provided by the University of Minnesota, US, which consisted of brain scans from four participants as they each viewed a set of 10,000 photos. The scans were recorded by functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI).The AI then learned about the brain activities by analyzing changes in blood flow shown by the fMRI data — when a part of the brain is activated (激活), more blood will flow to it. It then matched the brain activities with the photos. Through this method, AI learned how human brains would react when seeing different photos.Finally, the researchers tested the AI on additional brain scans from the same participants when they viewed photos of a toy bear, airplane, clock and train. If the person looked at an airplane, for example, the AI would use the brain scan data to create an image of a very blurry (模糊的) airplane. Then, it would turn on the previous “text-to-image” model and improve the quality of the image by feeding itself the keyword “airplane”. The final images were “convincing” with about 80 percent of accuracy (精确), according to the researchers.The new study created a novel approach that includes texts and images to “decipher (破译) the brain”, Ariel Goldstein from Princeton University, US, told Science magazine. In the future, scientists hope that the technology can be used to record imagined thoughts and dreams or allow people to understand how differently other animals understand reality.12．What do we know about Stable Diffusion?A．It can help train people’s minds.B．It can fully present people’s dreams.C．It was created to draw people’s brains.D．It can produce pictures from people’sthoughts.13．How did the AI system learn about human brain activity?A．By analyzing activities of human thoughts.B．By studying patterns of blood flow in the brain.C．By recording brain scans from four participants.D．By examining 10,000 photos about human brains.14．How did the AI system improve the quality of the final images?A．By employing a “text-to-image” model.B．By adjusting various brain scan data.C．By combining additional brain scans.D．By inputting text from human observers. 15．What is the potential use of this technology according to scientists?A．To improve text-to-image models.B．To create more accurate brain scans.C．To learn how animals view the world.D．To help people interpret their dreams.Environmental clubs are a great way to help the environment and hang out with friends. Read to get step-by-step instructions on how to start a high school environmental club.Choose a cause. Some good ideas might be something like, “Save the dolphins!” or “Stop global warming!” 16 . For example, “save the dolphins” might not be a good idea if you live ten hours to the nearest dolphin location, whereas “keep our school clean” would work anywhere.Decide on jobs.17 Some you could include are a recruiter (招募员) , activity manager, project manager and the president who decides all the meeting times, meeting places, activities, and projects.18 Your club should have some fun activities to do to remind them what they are fighting for. These could be hikes in the forest or watching environmental movies. Only do these once a month or the group may become too passive.Do projects. At your meetings, decide on a few projects, and do them. When you’re done with the few projects, decide on a few more. In addition, you can always redo projects if you think they were not successful. 19 , or don’t print them at all because recycling still pollutes.Build a social network.You can always make it from a web-hosting service, such as WordPress, Posterous or Home. On your homepage, you can have a photo gallery, a discussion page, and even a section about how you can help the earth. 20A．Share ideasB．Have activitiesC．It should depend on where you areD．Update often, so people don’t get boredE．Each club member should have a certain taskF．Be sure to print your projects on recycled paperG．Find a cause that suits most of your club members二、完形填空Everyone admires heroes. When we are asked 21 are our heroes, someone well-known like Yang Liwei or Zhong Nanshan may come into mind. They make a big difference to the world. 22 , there are “everyday” heroes in our daily life. They may not be so23 to the public, but these common people are also working hard to build a better world.24 them is Sun Jun.Sun Jun comes from a poor village. The villagers used to have no enough food. He knew much about the 25 . He learned to 26 food at his early age. When he was a college student, he found that the problem of food waste was more and more 27 . He started to 28 unsold food from restaurants and stores for homeless people.After graduating, Sun Jun joined a volunteer 29 called Green Food Bank, which was set up in Shanghai in 2014. The purpose of the organization is to build a bridge between people who are ready to help others and those who are 30 . It works by collecting and 31 free food for the poor, the disabled and so on.Sun’s team developed a phone app. It can show how much food restaurants remain each day. Usually, the workplaces of volunteers are not far from the restaurants, 32 they can just walk there to get the food for free. Then it can be given out in just a few 33 .So far, Sun and his team have done something 34 to the society. On the one hand, they’ve saved a lot of food. On the other hand, they’ve helped some people 35 . More volunteers and restaurants join them now. The small actions of these heroes can make a 36 influence than we imagine.Why does Sun do 37 these things? He says, “Thanks to Grandpa Yuan Longping, we are almost no longer short of food. We need to think about how to 38 wasting. There’s a long way to go, but I won’t 39 halfway. It’s just the beginning. We still have 40 to do.”21．A．that B．what C．who D．which 22．A．However B．But C．Though D．Or23．A．friendly B．polite C．famous D．smart 24．A．Among B．Between C．For D．Without 25．A．danger B．hunger C．nature D．culture 26．A．make B．waste C．use D．save 27．A．different B．popular C．serious D．difficult 28．A．eat B．collect C．cook D．taste 29．A．party B．club C．organization D．school30．A．in need B．in silence C．in excitement D．in surprise 31．A．providing B．buying C．selling D．borrowing 32．A．until B．if C．because D．so 33．A．weeks B．hours C．days D．months 34．A．careful B．peaceful C．meaningful D．awful 35．A．successfully B．suddenly C．slowly D．quietly 36．A．worse B．smaller C．fewer D．greater 37．A．both B．every C．either D．all 38．A．begin B．stop C．continue D．consider 39．A．give up B．put up C．give out D．make up 40．A．everything B．nothing C．much D．Little三、语法填空阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

One evening, after a long day of hard work, the farmer returned home with the donkeys and began to tie them to the stakes(桩). When he finished nine donkeys, he found that the tenth rope was gone.What now? He could not let the last donkey run around all night. It would surely run away. Suddenly, he saw that, under a tree, there was a monk(和尚). The farmer ran to the monk and asked for voice. The monk said, “The only thing you have to do to the tenth donkey is make the movements(动作) you would have made with a rope in your hands. Pretend (假装) to tie the donkey. That’s all.”The farmer returned to the tenth donkey, pretended to fasten(拴紧) a rope around its neck and then to tie the rope to a stake. He then entered his little house, half trusting the monk’s advice, half worried that his donk ey would run away in the middle of the night.When he went outside very early the next morning, all the donkeys were still standing nicely next to their stakes, even the tenth one. The farmer untied the donkeys and wanted to take them to the field. But to his surprise, donkey number ten refused to move an inch.

In Italy, when you order a coffee in a cafe or bar(酒吧), you are served with a tiny, bitter espresso. This is “normal (正常的) coffee” for Italians and they are not so interested in the huge coffees that we drink in the UK. If you want more than one sip(小口) of coffee in Italy, lungo is a good choice. In addition, while takeaway coffee is quite popular among Brits, it is not very common at all in Italy. Generally, Italians prefer to drink their tiny coffees while standing at the bar and, for many, this short break is an important part of their day.Usually, breakfast in a bar in Italy -includes a coffee and a pastry (酥皮糕点). Cappuccinos are very popular at breakfast time and, for me, a creamy cappuccino and a pastry with chocolate is the perfect way to start the day.Finally, I have found that coffee in Italy, such as espresso or macchiato (an espresso with a drop of milk), is so much cheaper than coffee in the UK. They are small, of course, but this means that in Italy it is possible to go out for coffee every day without breaking the bank.32.How is Paragraph 2 mainly developed?A.By time.B. By space.C. By comparisonD.By example.33.Which coffee will you get in Italy if you order one without special instructions?A. Espresso.B. Lungo.C. Cappuccino.D. Macchiato.34.What can we learn about the coffee culture in Italy?A.Takeaway coffee is very popular among Italians.B.Italians are very often seen drinking huge coffees.C.Few Italians take short breaks from work for coffee.D.Coffees are often served along with pastries during breakfasts.35.What does the author think of Italian coffee?A.She loves its bitter taste.B.It is too expensive for her.C.The cup it is served in is too small.D.It is a good choice for breakfast.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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。
