AAfter an absence of thirty years, I decided to visit my old school again. I had expected to find changes, but not a completely different building. As I walked up the school drive, I wondered for a moment if I had come to the right address. The dirty red brick houses had been swept away. In its place stood a bright, modern block. A huge expanse of glass extended (延展) across the face of the building, and in front, there was a well-kept lawn (草坪) where there used to be “an untidy gravel (沙石) yard”.I was pleased to find that it was bread time and that the children were all in the playground. This would enable me to meet some members of staff. On entering the building, I was surprised to hear loud laughter coming from what appeared to be themasters’ common room. I could not help remembering the teachers in my time, all dressed in black gowns and high collars. And above all, I recalled Mr Garston whom we had nicknamed “Mr Ghastly”, the headmaster who had iron discipline on staff and pupils alike. I knocked at the common room door and was welcomed by a smiling young man who introduced himself to me as the headmaster. He was dressed casually in a sports jacket, and his cheerful manner, quickly dispelled (驱散) the image of Mr Ghastly. After I had explained who I was, the headmaster presented me to the teachers all of whom were a little younger than himself, and said he would take me round the school.Here the biggest surprise of all was in store for me. Gone were the heavy desks of old with their deeply carved names; gone too, were the dark classrooms with their ink stained, dark brown walls, and their raised platforms for the teachers. The rooms now were painted in bright colors, and the children, far from sitting straight in their places, seemed almost free to do as they liked. I looked with envy as I remembered how, as a child, I had looked at the blackboard hardly daring to whisper to my neighbor.1. The writer ______.A. had no difficulty in recognizing his old schoolB. found it difficult to recognize his old schoolC. noticed that the building was still unfinishedD. was surprised to see an untidy gravel yard2. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. He had expected that the school had completely changed.B. In the writer’s time, all the teachers were dressed in black gowns and high collars.C. There was a well-kept lawn in their school when he visited it.D. An untidy gravel yard had disappeared.3. “Mr. Ghastly” must be ______.A. the writer’s teacherB. a serious old manC. the strict headmasterD. a naughty boy4. From what is said in the passage it seems clear the writer ______.A. disapproved of all the changes that had taken placeB. felt sorry for the children in the schoolC. was glad that the school was still the sameD. felt that conditions at the school had improved a lot【答案】1. B 2. A 3. C 4. D【解析】【分析】本文是记叙文。

Theterm, which refers to “a type of behavior which is unapologetically self-indulgent (放纵的), lazy, or greedy, typically in a way that rejects social norms or expectations”, has become the first word of the year to have been decided by public vote.Given a choice of three words, narrowed down by lexicographers (词典编纂者) from Oxford University Press (OUP), more than 340, 000 English speakers around the world cast their vote.The president of Oxford Languages, Casper Grathwohl, said that while he and his colleagues were “hoping the public would enjoy being brought into the process”, the level of engagement had caught them “totally by surprise”.“Given the year we’ve just experienced, ‘goblin mode’ resonates (共鸣) with all of us who are feeling a little overwhelmed at this point,” he added. “It’s a relief to acknowledge that we’re not always the idealized selves that we’re encouraged to present on our Instagram and TikTok feeds. This has been demonstrated by the dramatic rise of platforms like BeReal where users share images of their unedited selves, often capturing self-indulgent moments in goblin mode.”The winning term was first seen on Twitter in 2009, but became popular on social media in February 2022 after being tweeted in a mocked-up headline.The American linguist and lexicographer Ben Zimmer said: “Goblin mode really does speak to the times and the zeitgeist, and it is certainly a 2022 expression. People are looking at social norms in new ways. It gives people the licence to reject social norms and embrace new ones.”Goblin mode joins previous Oxford words of the year “vax” (2021), “climate emergency” (2019), and “selfie” (2013). Other dictionaries have also selected 2022 words of the year: Collinschose “permacrisis”, while Cambridge Dictionaries went for “homer”.19．What does Casper Grathwohl think of public engagement in choosing the 2022 Oxford word?A．Surprised.B．Doubtful.C．Dissatisfied.D．Concerned. 20．Why do so many people choose “goblin mode” as the 2022 Oxford word of the year?A．It is popular with young people.B．It embraces the comforts of self-indulgence.C．It is highly recommended by lexicographers.D．It was first seen on Instagram and then became a hit quickly.21．What’s the 2022 Collins word of the year?A．Vax.B．Selfie.C．Permacrisis.D．Homer. 22．What’s the best title of the text?A．Goblin mode:a new word shows a new way of lifeB．Goblin mode:a new Oxford word of the year speaks to the timesC．Different dictionaries choose different hot words of the yearD．Feel the pulse of the times and society from different hot words“I have cancer.” Mom said and held me in a tight hug. I could feel her chest shaking as she tried not to cry but failed.For all of my twenty-four years, my mom had been supportive. Strength and protection had always flowed from her to me. Now I knew it would have to flow the other way.Mom didn’t stay down for long. After the shock of breast-cancer, she armed herself with a notebook and a pen and a thousand questions for the doctors. She took notes on white blood cell counts and medications (药物) with long names as though she were studying for entrance exams into medical school. “The not-knowing is the worst.” she said.The operation was successful. The chemo (化疗) was the harder part. I went with Mom to every chemo treatment. She rarely complained, though her hair was gone and her toenails and fingernails fell out one by one. She joked that she could save money on nail polish and put it toward the doctor bills, even though she never wore nail polish. “Cancer can take my hair, my nails, my health, my very life. But it can’t take my smile.” Mom said.Mom learned to share her fears with me, and it formed an even deeper bond between us. Yet I am certain there were fears she didn’t share because she was still protecting me — worries she only shared with Dad. Even in the darkest hours, she would just joke about the cancer. Mom always said, “When you look your greatest fear in the eye and laugh at it, you take away some of its power.”Mom was one of the lucky ones. She did beat her cancer, though not without scars. From her, I’ve learned I may not get to choose what I face, but I do get to choose how I face it. 23．What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 mean?A．There were other ways to treat cancer.B．I should be the one being there for Mom.C．Mom had to stay stronger to beat cancer.D．Knowledge of cancer would be helpful.24．Which of the following words can best describe Mom?A．Optimistic and determined.B．Considerate and ambitious.C．Humorous and generous.D．Caring and knowledgeable.25．Why didn’t Mom share all the fears with the author?A．She only shared with Dad.B．She would just joke about the cancer.C．She wanted to protect the author.D．She formed a deeper bond with the author.26．What lesson did the author learn from Mom?A．Luck counts in beating diseases.B．Complaint does no good to one’s health.C．Sharing feelings helps reduce sufferings a lot.D．Positive attitudes get one through hardship.Saying farewell to someone you love, even for a night, can be difficult, much less saying goodbye for a lifetime or forever in death. Juliet bid Romeo adieu (再见) for the evening with the words, “Parting is such sweet sorrow.” Sweet sorrow is an oxymoron. But this seeming contradiction is true in the context of relationships.Relationships are based on feelings, emotions, and passion. Deep friendships and loving relationships are measured by the level of emotional attachment. Emotions intensify over time. People spend time with the people they like. The more one person likes another person, the closer the relationship becomes. Each person in the relationship receives an emotional benefit from knowing the other person.Saying goodbye means separating from the people who make up a significant part of your emotional identity. Separation, even a temporary absence, from the people you have a deep emotional connection with can cause sorrow because you will no longer be able to enjoy their company.The sweet side of saying goodbye is the emotional fulfillment of being in a close relationship. The time spent together is emotionally rewarding, especially if that person isseen as a soulmate. Humans are social beings. We seek the love and comfort of other people. Loneliness devastates the human condition and leads to sadness. Sad people will do anything they can to find fulfilling relationships. Likewise, happy people will do anything they can to maintain or enhance relationships. Herein lies the essential point of the emotional problem.The more intense relationships become, the more devastating the emotional loss that is felt upon separation. The exhilaration of relationships cannot be truly measured without experiencing the overwhelming loss of a deep emotional connection.Enjoy the company of the person you are with as long as you can; knowing the pain you will feel at the end of the relationship is the true measure of the relationship. If it doesn’t hurt to say goodbye, perhaps it wasn’t worth saying hello.27．Which of the word group can create the same effect as “sweet sorrow”?A．icy cold B．clicking sound C．deafening silence D．endless speech 28．What can we learn from paragraph 3?A．Saying goodbye is unavoidable in our daily life.B．The companion of close friends can lessen sorrow.C．A person’s identity is connected with relationship.D．Separation is the sorrowful part of saying goodbye.29．What gives a person emotional satisfaction in social life?A．Making more communication with others.B．Building deep emotional connections with others.C．Comforting friends with love and intense feelings.D．Being a thoughtful person by standing in others’ shoes.30．What is the main idea of the passage?A．Sweet sorrow is very common in close relationships.B．The pain of separation is the measure of relationships.C．Human beings are eager to get emotional fulfillment.D．Happiness is meaningless without sadness to compare it.三、七选五Ways to learn English fast and effectivelyWith many words and strange ways of spelling that can confuse even those whoseprimary language is English, English can be one of the most challenging languages to master.31 .

Grandparents Peter and Chris stepped on the long journey after deciding to “do something a bit different”. They traversed (横穿) cities, deserts, mountains and everything in between across Europe, the Middle East and the East Asia. The married couple of 37 years enjoyed themselves with delicious local food and spent most nights inside a tiny tent put up wherever they could find shelter.Peter, 66, said the moment they finally had a look at the famous Great Wall after a year and a half of cycling 30 miles a day was “really exciting”. At the end of their journey, the special pair didn’t fly home but instead choose to book a cabin (舱) inside a 400m-long container ship. The final part was a three-week voyage from Singapore across the Indian Ocean and into the Mediterranean Sea before arriving at Southampton.“You never know what the day is going to bring. All you know is that you aregoing to get on your bike and cycle. Every day is an adventure and every day is new. Overall, the experience is absolutely unbelievable, ” Peter said.Peter and Chris initially set out to cycle from Britain in January 2017 but were forced home. They had cycled all the way to Hungary when Peter slipped on tiles and broke his leg. After seven months of recovery, the couple set out again in Britain. They finally arrived in China in November 2018.Both Peter and Chris agreed that the best part of the entiretrip was coming across the kindness of strangers along the way, many of whom invited the couple for food and drink.

Fine particle pollution declined rapidly following the new rules on industrial emissions and the promotion of cleanfuels, according to the study, published on Monday in the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America. The study, which focused on the period from 2013-2017, was conducted by a group of Chinese researchers and scientists.PM2.5, as this kind of pollution is known, is so small that it can enter the bloodstream, potentially leading to cancer, stroke and heart attack in the long term. After rapid industrialization and weak regulations left the country with a reputation for smog and bad air quality, Chinese authorities started to take air pollution seriously in 2008.In 2013, Beijing had PM2.5 concentrations 40 times higher than levels recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO), and the governmentintroduced its toughest-ever clean air policies that year. The study found “signif icant declines” in PM2.5 levels across China from 2013-2017, with new standards for thermal power plants and industrial boilers, the replacement of old factories, and new emissions rules for vehicles. The authors say this “confirms the effectiveness of Chi na’s recent clean air actions.”These recent actions have seen Beijing fall out of the top 100 most-polluted cities in Asia in recent years, with the pollution levels 10% lower across Chinese cities between 2017 and 2018, according to a report by Greenpeace and AirVisual. Shanghai, the country’s largest city and financial capital, has also made environmental advances, such as adopting strict recycling regulations. Public pressure has been the driving force of pollution policy in China.Air pollution is a global issue, and India is now home to 22 of the 30 most polluted world cities, according to the Greenpeace and AirVisual report. In the US, a recent study said air pollutionwas linked to more than 107,000 deaths in 2011 and cost the country $866 billion.8. What saved many lives in China?A. China’s clean air policies.B. The increased particle pollution.C. The study by researchers.D. The reduction of the clean fuels.9. Why did PM2.5 cause many diseases?A. It was called smog.B. It made the air cleaner.C. It went into the blood.D. It had a bad reputation.10. When did Chinese government decide to treat the pollution?A. In 2008.B. In 2013.C. In 2017.D. In 2018.11. What did people in Shanghai do to protect the environment?A. They built the thermal power plants.B. They stopped using industrial boilers.C. They made Shanghai financial capital.D. They tried to recycle some rubbish.DIn the 1994 film Forrest Gump, there’s a famous saying, “Life is like a box of chocolates; you never know what you’re gonna get.” The surprise is part of the fun. Now blind box toys are bringing the magic of surprise to online shopping.A blind box toy is hidden inside uniform packaging(包装) butinvisible from the outside. You don’t know what will be inside, although the toys typically come from pop culture, ranging from movies to comics and cartoons.Blind boxes have caught on since they were first introduced from Japan to China in 2014. According to a 2019 Tmall report, the mini-series of Labubu blind box. designed by Hong Kong -born Kasing Lung, was named Champion of Unit Sales with 55,000 sold in just 9 seconds during the Singles Day shopping event. Most customers for blind boxes are young people aged 18 to 35.According to The Paper, blind box toys are popular in part because of their cute appearances. The typically cute cartoon figurines (小塑像) come in miniature (微型的) sizes, making them suitable for display almost anywhere.Even if blind boxes are not their top choice for decorations(装饰品), the mystery and uncertainty of the process also attracts people. It’s the main reason why people buy blind boxes one after another.“Fear of the unknown is always a part of the box-opening process,” said Miss Cao, 24, who lives and works in Shenyang. Speaking to Sina News, she said: “Until you open all the boxes, you cannot know what it is inside.”Opening a blind box is a delightful little surprise for our mundane daily lives, something small but fun to wait for each day, week or month. When people open this simple little box, they may be disappointed, but the uncertainty is part of the fun. People will open more blind boxes and hope for a better outcome.When someone re-makes Forrest Gump, don't be surprised if he says, “Life is like a blind box.”12.What feature of blind boxes attracts people?A.They often get toys designed by famous artists.B.They don’t know what they’ve got until they open them.C.They can learn about pop culture from the packaging.D.They can experience the excitement of online shopping.13.Why does Miss Cao love blind box toys?。

广东省广州市南沙区华南师范大学第二附属中学2023-2024学年高一上学期期中英语试题
广东省广州市南沙区华南师范大学第二附属中学2023-2024学年高一上学期期中英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解While I was jumping rope, my smartphone took a fall to the floor which created cracks (裂缝) on my screen. However, the music kept playing. 30 minutes later, I could see only one-tenth of my screen while the rest was black. The next morning, I decided not to use it for 24 hours. I felt a sense of calm that day, which led to my not using it for one week. One week ended up becoming 60 days in total without my smartphone.Here are some advantages I noticed in this challenge.You’ll become “bored”Without my phone, I became bored, but my mind went through all kinds of topics, Boredom (无聊) is a perfect way to create new ideas on a business or project. When you are bored, you allow your mind to relax to reach all possibilities.You’ll be able to reduce your “work” hoursA survey found that adults checked their smartphones 85 times a day, or once every 10 minutes. As I learned in my challenge, by not having my smartphone, I fell into deep work more easily, so I completed my tasks in a shorter time.You’ll improve your mental healthWithout my phone, I avoided reading negative news and comments. While that helped make a big improvement in my mental health, the biggest reason for it was truly communicating with people. It brought me more connections with humans in the real world. I went to more dinners with friends and asked more questions to strangers.1．Boredom is a good way for the writer ________ .A．to create new ideas B．to start a businessC．to set up a project D．to relax the body2．Without the smartphone, the writer could finish the work________.A．more terribly B．more quicklyC．more carelessly D．more comfortably3．What can improve people’s mental health according to the passage?A．Chatting on the phone.B．Reading negative news.C．Communicating in the real world.D．Avoiding meeting friends and strangers.Finally came Wednesday! I walked onto campus feeling nervous even though I had walked these same grounds for two years because my junior high school is next door. Everything looked and felt different now that I was in senior high.I looked at my schedule. First period — German. Our German teacher was very friendly and I liked her from the beginning. What I didn't like, though, was that I was surrounded by students from other grades, with only five familiar faces.Then I had to walk all the way across campus and up three flights of stairs to get to my second period — biology. Our teacher's name is peau, and I think that she will teach us a lot this year because she is very to the point. She also has her unique way of saying “be quiet,” she says “alligator.” She explained that she is the king, or should I say queen, of the class because alligators are the “king of the swamps (沼泽).”My third class was English. After surviving two periods without too much of a challenge, I began to feel good. However, the third period changed everything. Mr.V.,my English teacher, told us that we would have to write 40 essays (文章) and read AP-level books such as The Odyssey this year. I love reading and writing, but 40 ESSAYS? AP-level books? Now I was scared. He also talked about how important it was to be focused. Last year was not a very “focused” year for me. While doing homework, I was often talking on the phone, or busy with a conversation on Facebook. I planned on stepping it up this year because I wanted to stay an honor student.4．What did the author mainly write about in this passage?A．Her new teachers.B．Her plan for the new year.C．Her first day of senior high.D．Her schedule for Wednesday.5．What should students do when Ms. Compeau says "alligator"?A．Sit still.B．Stop talking.C．Listen to the teacher.D．Look at the blackboard.6．How did the author find her first two classes?A．Unattractive.B．Informative.C．Very tiring.D．Pretty easy. 7．Why did the author feel scared during the third period?A．Because she couldn't focus on her work.B．Because she found the class demanding.C．Because she didn't like the teacher.D．Because she did poorly at school.The hike to the lost Incan city of Choquequirao is one of the most difficult in Peru. From the town of Cachora, which is 161km west of Cusco, it's an 18km walk to Capuliyoc Mountain, then down to Playa Rosalina, where travellers camp for the night. Waking early, travelers then have to cross the Apurímac River and walk uphill to camp close to the ruins. Then, the next morning, it's another 2km walk up to the ruins, 3, 100m above sea level. To get back? Well, it's the same way you came.“I've had people in their 60s and 70s do it,” said Juan Barrios, a guide from the Adventure Life company. “But some people come out thinking that because it's only 28km from the drop off they can do it in a day. Six or seven days for the hike is best.”It makes sense, then, that Choquequirao draws only about 30 people a day during the high season (June through August). Compare that to the 2, 500 people who arrive each day at the famous Incan city of Machu Picchu.But for those who make the journey, the rewards (回报) are great: beautiful mountain views at every turn, and the chance to explore the wonderful ruins nearly alone.Believed to be created around the same time as Machu Picchu, in 1445, Choquequirao is actually larger than better-known Machu Picchu. But very little has been written about Peru's other lost city and researchers are still uncovering new parts of the ruins, leaving life on the mountain relatively untouched.But officials say that the building of the first cable car (缆车) to Choquequirao will shorten the several-day walk to a 15-minute cable car ride. As a result, the number of travellers that now make the journey each week could turn into 3,000 visitors per day.Choquequirao is beautiful now because of how untouched it is. Even though the lost city was discovered by Spanish explorer Juan Arias Díaz in 1710, the ruins still make you feel as though you're the first to find them. Will it be the same when more travellers flood in (大量涌入)?8．What does the first paragraph centre on?A．How tall Choquequirao is.B．How to get to Choquequirao easily.C．What great views Choquequirao has.D．How hard the trip to Choquequirao is. 9．In what way is Choquequirao different from Machu Picchu?A．Choquequirao is older.B．Choquequirao is quieter.C．Choquequirao is smaller.D．Choquequirao is better known. 10．How are the ruins of Choquequirao?A．They're still being dug out.B．They're in a generally poor condition.C．They're being renewed at the moment.D．They've been researched internationally. 11．What does the author think of Choquequirao in the future?A．It will be more attractive.B．It will develop at a slow speed.C．It won't necessarily take a turn for the better.D．It won't be more popular than Machu Picchu.Computers have become amazingly exact at translating spoken words to text messages and searching a large supply of valuable information for answers to difficult questions. At least, that is, so long as you speak English or other world's main languages. But try talking to your phone in Yoruba, Igbo or any number of widely spoken African languages and you'll find difficulty in accessing information, trade and other benefits of the global tech economy.American tech giants don't have a long history of making their language technology work well outside the wealthiest markets, a problem that has also made it harder for them to discover dangerous misinformation on their platforms. Google, for instance, upset members of the Yoruba community when its language app mistranslated a nice African god as a devil. Part of the reason is that there's just not enough online data in those languages for the Al systems to effectively learn how to get better at understanding them.“We are getting to the point where if a machine doesn't understand your language, it will be like it never existed,” said Vukosi Marivate, who has devoted some of his Al research to the southern African languages of Xitsonga and Setswana. “Considering our history, some of the bias (偏见) is intentional. The history of the African continent and in general in colonized (殖民化的) countries, is that when language had to be translated, it was translated in a very narrow way,” Marivate added.However, Google and Microsoft are among the companies that say they are trying to improve technology for so-called "low-resource" languages that Al systems don't have enough data for. Computer scientists at Meta announced a breakthrough on the path to a "universal translator" that could translate multiple languages at once and work better withlower-resourced languages. Meanwhile, Marivate and other researchers have founded a research project across Africa. Increasingly, people are joining hands to develop a variety of language approaches.12．What can we learn from Paragraphs 1 and 2?A．Yoruba and Igbo are widely spoken in the world.B．English speakers fail to access online information.C．The online data of African languages is limited.D．Computers can translate all text messages exactly.13．Why does the author mention “Google” in Paragraph 2?A．To make a prediction.B．To draw a comparison.C．To reach a conclusion.D．To give an example.14．What is Marivate's attitude towards “American tech giants”?A．Friendly.B．Unconcerned.C．Dissatisfied.D．Proud. 15．What can be a suitable title for the text?A．Joint Efforts to Improve AI in African Languages B．Computers Good atTranslating Spoken LanguageC．US Tech Giants Misunderstand African Languages D．African Researchers Exchange Ideas with Tech Giants二、七选五You Are a Better Person Than You Think You AreMaybe you haven’t achieved goals in a self-appointed time frame. 16 But this doesn’t mean you are a bad person or a failure. You could indeed be a wonderful individual. You could actually be a much better person than you believe you are. So, let’s examine the idea that you might be better than you think.You show kindnessBeing polite and kind is the mark of a good person. When you do this, you are treating others like you would want to be treated. 17 Even the smallest of things do not go unnoticed and are traits that you have a good heart.You are a positive personKeeping an optimistic attitude is also a trait of a good person with a powerful character.It is easy to become negative with all the bad things going on in the world, but there’s another way to look at these things. When you’re actually better than you think, you will have the habit of looking on the bright side of every situation and seeing the best in everyone. 1819Being wise is not about being intelligent. It’s about learning from life experiences. Why does this make you a better person than you think? Wisdom can be passed to others to help them avoid the same mistakes you made. You are a good person if you’ve collected wisdom and love to share lessons with others.So, go easy on yourself. Appreciate who you are. If there are things you need to change, that’s okay. 20 It’s about our attitude and our heart. I bet, if you took the time to read this, you are a better person than you think.A．You give honest comments.B．It’s just all about showing optimism.C．We all have problems and imperfections.D．You are wise, and you share your wisdom.E．Maybe you have made many mistakes as well.F．Respecting others and their space shows adulthood, which is a sign of a truly good person.G．This may include opening doors for others or picking up change for people in front of you at the checkout line.三、完形填空Each school year, we welcome a new generation of students.

AWe live in a town with three beaches.There are two parts less than10minutes’walk from home where neighborhood children gather to play.However,what my children want to do after school is pick up a screen—any screen—and stare at it for hours.They are not alone.Today's children spend an average of four and a half hours a day looking at screens,split between watching television and using the Internet.In the past few years,an increasing number of people and organisations have begun coming up with plans to counter this trend.A couple of years ago film-maker David Bond realised that his children,then aged five and three,were attached to screens to the point where he was able to say“chocolate”into his three-year-old son’s ear without getting a response.He realised that something needed to change,and, being a London media type,appointed himself“marketing director from Nature”.He recorded his journey as he set about treating nature as a brand to be marketed to young people.The result was Project Wild Thing,a film which charts the birth of the World Network,a group of organisations with the common goal of getting children out into nature.“Just five more minutes outdoors can make a difference,”David Bond says.“There is a lot of really interesting evidence which seems to be suggesting that if children are inspired up to the age of seven,then being outdoors will be a habit for life.”His own children have got into the habit of playing outside now:“We just send them out into the garden and tell them not to come back in for a while.”Summer is upon us.There is an amazing world out there,and it needs our children as much as they need it.Let us get them out and let them play.1.What is the problem with the author’s children?A.They often annoy their neighbours.B.They are tired of doing their homework.C.They have no friends to play withD.They stay in front of screens for too long.2.How did David Bond advocate(提倡)his idea?A.By making a documentary film.B.By organizing outdoor activities.C.By advertising in London media.D.By creating a network of friends.3.What can be a suitable title for the text?A.Let Children Have FunB.Young Children Need More Free TimeC.Market Nature to ChildrenD.David Bond:A Role Model for ChildrenBA few years ago,my sister-in-law started to feel concerned about her teenage daughter.What was she doing after school?Where was she spending her time?My niece was an excellent student,and took part in all kinds of after-class activities.Even so,her mom decided to put a tracking(跟踪)app on her kid’s phone.At first,this made my sister-in-law“feel better”.Then the good situation suddenly ended.She recalled,“I found out that she was at a place where she said she wasn’t.I went out in the middle of the night and found her walking without shoes in the middle of the street with some friends.”Things went quickly downhill(每况愈下) for the mother and the daughter after that.With83%of teens having their own smart phones,according to a2020Pew study,more and more of their parents are facing the question:To watch or not?Ana Homayoun,founder of Green Ivy Educational Consulting,has advised many parents and their kids about this.“I’ve found the tracking app is more acceptable for teens when it is included as part of a family agreement to improve safety than when it is placed as a secret tool to watch them,”she said.Mark Bell,a father of a teenage girl,said,“We don’t have tracking apps,but we have set some ground rules that my daughter must follow in exchange for us providing a smart phone,”he said.For example,his daughter must“friend(加为好友)”him on social media so that he can read posts,and must share all passwords.When you’re trying to build trust,you need to create an environment that encourages it.So,to win their trust,you always need to be straight(坦诚的)with your children.“Parents must let children know how and when they’ll be watching them,”said Doctor Pauleh Weigle.If they’re not open about it,he warns,it can “greatly damage the parent and child relationship”.4.What can we infer from the second paragraph?A.The author’s niece sometimes lied to her mother.B.The author’s niece did worse and worse in her studies.C.The author’s niece always followed her mother’s orders.D.The author’s niece liked the tracking app on her phone.5.How can Mark Bell’s daughter have a smart phone?A.She ought to earn money to pay for it.B.She must follow some ground rules.C.She should put a tracking app on her phone.D.She has to tell him where she is anytime.6.What is Doctor Pauleh Weigle’s opinion about parents using a tracking app?A.Letting them check their children’s phones often.B.Teaching their children how to use their phones better.C.Telling their children to use their phones less and less.D.Making their children know how and when they will watch them.CWidespread descriptions of animals in pop culture could actually be hurting the animals’survival chances in the wild,new research suggests.Franck Courchamp of the University of Paris-Sud was interested in the idea of “charisma”（魅力）in animals.He wanted to know:What species do people consider charismatic?And what are the influences of being charismatic on populations in the wild?In a research published this month,Courchamp and other researchers list the top 20charismatic species.Most of the animals identified as charismatic are large mammals living on ing in first place were tigers,followed by lions, elephants,giraffes,panthers,pandas,cheetahs,polar bears,wolves,and gorillas. However,at least half of the interviewees didn’t realize that five of the top ten most charismatic species are threatened.It is paradoxical that we haven’t been able to protect the species we care about the most.The study also found that we are flooded with images of these creatures,even as they are becoming fewer in the wild.The study suggests that too much of imagerymight be creating a“virtual(虚拟的)population”of the animals in peoples’minds, making them believe there are far more individuals in the wild than is exact.The study authors suggest that companies who benefit from the use of these images should set aside a small percentage of their profits to protection efforts and informational campaigns(运动).“That would be not only something fair,but that would be something that could bring a win-win situation for them,”Courchamp says. It could bring them positive public relation,for example.Besides,if a company’s mascot(吉祥物)goes extinct,that could hurt them from a marketing standpoint, Courchamp says.Some companies do take this to heart,he says,noting protection efforts by Jaguar and Lacoste.But not enough companies are“truly concerned about the protection of the species that they work on,”he adds.7.It can be inferred that the widespread images of animals in pop culture_________.A.leads people to forget the less charismatic animalsB.makes a false impression of the animals’real situationC.raises people’s wildlife protection attention and effortsD.brings a win-win situation for both animals and companies8.What does the writer mean by saying the underlined sentence in Paragraph3?A.It is important to protect these endangered species.B.It is natural to regard the large mammals as charismatic.C.It is terrible that the species are dying out at an alarming speed.D.It is strange that people’s thoughts contrast with their behaviors.9.Courchamp lists the companies’responsibilities and their advantages by________.A.giving examplesB.taking quotesC.making comparisonsing numbers10.What’s Courchamp’s attitude to the companies benefiting from animal images?A.Annoyed.B.Supportive.C.Dissatisfied.D.Positive.第二节（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15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。

广东省广州市真光中学2023-2024学年高一上学期期中测试英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解How to plan your routes to avoid busy placesWhether you are a beginner or already a regular runner, these apps will come in handy for planning routes that avoid busy places on your next runStravaJust put in whether you’re running or cycling, how far you’d like to go and whether you’re keen to avoid hills, the app will then suggest a number of routes near you, based on where other runners have been.

I have read about it, prayed over it, and have done small things to help. But feeling that I could, and should, do more to make a difference. I concluded that living as a homeless man— at least for a very brief period— was the best way to understand what it’s like to have no place to call home.I decided that St. Vincent de Paul Catholic Church would be my first stop. Since the church opens its basement to homeless people every Friday for a hot meal, St. Vincent’s was symbolically a very good place to start my day as a homeless man.After praying before the Blessed Sacrament, I hit the subfreezing streets with no money.I got into a line of men, women and children waiting to be admitted into the dining room where a free hot meal is served every day.From there I walked to Health Care for the Homeless— an organization dedicated to providing free medical care to people who have no permanent residence. Inside were about 75 homeless women and men waiting to be seen by a nurse. There I spoke with an older man who had serious family problems that caused his homelessness.Next, I stopped at a hotel and fast food restaurant asking if they were hiring. From there I walked the streets of downtown Baltimore, asking people for a little loose change to buy a cup of coffee. I politely approached (接近) approximately 35 people. About 30 of them ignored me, and said they didn’t have any money, or simply said no. But five people did offer me a small donation. I explained what I was doing, and thankfully declined their generosity.Later that night, as I walked back to my vehicle, I realized that I was a richer person for having lived one day as a homeless man I thought about the homeless men and women I came across, and their problems.4．Why did the author decide to make a start from the church?A．It impressed the author in many ways.B．It opened to the homeless regularlyC．Only it offered the homeless a hot mealD．Many homeless people were allowed to live in the basement.5．What did the author do while he was in Health Care for the Homeless?A．He had a word with a homeless manB．He realized it was too sad to have no moneyC．He helped an older man with family problemsD．He had a hot meal with some women and children6．What can we infer from the fifth paragraph?A．The author worked a few hours in the restaurantB．Very few people looked down upon the homelessC．No food restaurants agreed to hire a homeless manD．People in the society cared little about the homeless7．What would the author most probably do in the future?A．He would treasure what he had got in lifeB．He would spend more time with the homelessC．He would find a better way to help the homelessD．He would invite the homeless to his home more oftenRaegan Byrd tries to complete her homework every night. But the high school student in Hartford. Connecticut, has to use her mobile phone to search for the necessary information because she does not have internet connection at home.In May, the US Department of Education (DOE) published its findings that the number of homes without access (接入) to internet has been getting smaller, but 14 percent of homes in city areas and 18percent of homes in the countryside still do not have internet connections.In some states, the problem is much more serious. For example, in the countryside of northern Mississippi, a third of the 294 homes in Maben do not have computers. And close to half have no access to internet whether they can pay for it or not.Sharon Stidham, a mother in Maben, has to take her four boys to the school library at East Webster High School. Her husband works there, so the children can use the internet for their schoolwork. A signal tower can be seen through the trees from their home, but they could not put aside any money for the internet. Research results from the National Center for Education (NCE) have shown that students with internet at home get much better scores inreading, math and science than the ones who do not. Some teachers call this problem “the homework divide”. Jessica Rosenworcel, an NCE member, said, “The so-called homework divide is the cruelest part of the digital age and it is hurting the poor students and creating a big barrier to their dreams.”Local communities (社区) have started to help. They made lists of restaurants and other businesses with Wi-Fi places where children are welcome to come and do their homework. And many public libraries have also planned to provide free access to the students next year. 8．What has DOE found out in its survey?A．Students with internet at home are doing better at school.B．About 33% of the students in Mississippi do not have internet at home.C．An increasing number of students do not have access to internet at home.D．4% more homes in the countryside don’t have internet access than those in the city. 9．Why does Sharon Stidham take her sons to the East Webster High School library?A．Her sons have to use the internet for their schoolwork.B．She wants her sons to study in a better environment.C．She does not want to pay for the internet at home.D．Her husband is a teacher in the library.10．How does Jessica Rosenworcel think of “the homework divide”?A．Unimportant B．Useful C．Harmful.D．Positive 11．What is the main idea of the last paragraph?A．Helps are coming from the public and the local communities.B．Libraries have opened their doors to the students for free.C．Restourants have volunteered to take in the children.D．to real communities are called on to take actions.For Western designers, China and its rich culture have long been an inspiration for Western creative.“It’s no secret that China has always been a source(来源) of inspiration for designers,” says Amanda Hill, chief creative officer at A+E Networks, a global media company and home to some of the biggest fashion(时尚) shows.Earlier this year, the China Through A Looking Glass exhibition in New York exhibited 140 pieces of China-inspired fashionable clothing alongside Chinese works of art, with theaim of exploring the influence of Chinese aesthetics(美学) on Western fashion and how China has fueled the fashionable imagination for centuries. The exhibition had record attendance, showing that there is huge interest in Chinese influences.“China is impossible to overlook,” says Hill. “Chinese models are the faces of beauty and fashion campaigns that sell dreams to women all over the world, which means Chinese women are not just consumers of fashion — they are central to its movement.” Of course, not only are today’s top Western designers being influenced by China—some of the best designers of contemporary fashion are themselves Chinese. “Vera Wang, Alexander Wang, Jason Wu are taking on Galliano, Albaz, Marc Jacobs—and beating them hands down in design and sales,” adds Hill.For Hill, it is impossible not to talk about China as the leading player when discussing fashion. “The most famous designers are Chinese, so are the models, and so are the consumers,” she says. “China is no longer just another market; in many senses it has become the market. If you talk about fashion today, you are talking about China—its influences, its direction, its breathtaking clothes, and how young designers and models are finally acknowledging that in many ways.”12．What can we learn about the exhibition in New York?A．It promoted the sales of artworks.B．It attracted a large number of visitors.C．It showed ancient Chinese clothes.D．It aimed to introduce Chinese models. 13．What does Hill say about Chinese women?A．They are setting the fashion.B．They start many fashion campaigns.C．They admire super models.D．They do business all over the world. 14．What do the underlined words “taking on” in paragraph 4 mean?A．learning from B．looking down on C．working with D．competingagainst15．What can be a suitable title for the text?A．Young Models Selling Dreams to the WorldB．A Chinese Art Exhibition Held in New YorkC．Differences Between Eastern and Western AestheticsD．Chinese Culture Fueling International Fashion Trends二、七选五Is Fresh Air Really Good for You?We all grew up hearing people tell us to “go out and get some fresh air.” 16 According to recent studies, the answer is a big YES, if the air quality in your camping area is good.17 If the air you’re breathing is clean—which it would be if you’re away from the smog of cities—then the air is filled with life-giving, energizing oxygen. If you exercise out of doors, your body will learn to breathe more deeply, allowing even more oxygen to get to your muscles(肌肉) and your brain.Recently, people have begun studying the connection between the natural world and healing(治愈). 18 In these places patients can go to be near nature during their recovery. It turns out that just looking at green, growing things can reduce stress, lower blood pressure, and put people into a better mood(情绪).Greenery is good for us. Hospital patients who see tree branches out their window are likely to recover at a faster rate than patients who see buildings or sky instead. 19 It gives us a great feeling of peace.20 While the sun’s rays can age and harm our skin, they also give us beneficial Vitamin D. To make sure you get enough Vitamin D—but still protect your skin—put on sunscreen right as you head outside. It takes sunscreen about fifteen minutes to start working, and that’s plenty of time for your skin to absorb a day’s worth of Vitamin D.A．Fresh air cleans our lungs.B．So what are you waiting for?C．Being in nature refreshes us.D．Another side benefit of getting fresh air is sunlight.E．But is fresh air really as good for you as your mother always said?F．Just as importantly, we tend to associate air with health care.G．All across the country, recovery centers have begun building Healing Gardens.三、完形填空Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Rakesh.

In late September or early October, falling fruits as hard as baseballs threaten the skulls (头骨) of you, your children, your neighbors and those that reside next door to them. Umbrellas in the yard are a must while dining in early August, and as for me, I wear my bike helmet while working in the garden.The black walnut also releases a chemical substanc e through its roots as a competitive strategy. It’s poisonous to several common plants. There have been many new plant varieties that I brought home with hopes that maybe the black walnut would accept them, but they failed to flourish.What does work are native plants that naturally grow in the area. Native plants are important to have around since they provide beneficial pollinators (传粉者) like birds, bees and butterflies with seeds and contribute to a healthy and biodiverse environment. Native plants for this area are generally easy to grow, so they experience less stress.Have I thought of getting rid of this giant pain in my tiny backyard? Yes, however, getting rid of this tree standing at 50 feet with an 87-inch trunk is next to impossible. It’s also pro tected under the law. Rightfully so. Trees are important to the urban forest and for all of those that inhabit it. Sometimes I think about my life without the black walnut. I can’t imagine a spring without the birds who arrive every year and loudly sing th eir songs before dawn. I’d miss falling asleep on lazy weekend afternoons as I look up into its leaves.Every spring, I wonder what the season holds: What are the chances of being knocked unconscious while barbecuing? Like any good relationship, I’ll never be pleased. I’m stuck with this tree, so I’ll listen to its needs and give it the space it requires. In return, my walnut offers a habitat for wildlife and a reminder.19. Why does the author wear a bike helmet while working in the garden?A．To protect the injured skull. B．To prevent herself from sunburn.C．To avoid being hit by the nuts. D．To reduce the chance of getting bitten bybees.20. What is the tree’s survival strategy?A．It attracts beneficial pollinators.B．It lets out poison to drive away pests.C．It produces a chemical fatal to some plants.D．It competes for nutrition with similar species.21. Which of the following DOESN’T account for the author’s love-hate relationship with the tree?A．The volume of its fruits may bring inconvenience.B．The tree outcompetes the native plants in the garden.C．The tree is home to numerous birds and other creatures.D．The presence of the tree takes up much space of the garden.22. The author most probably got a reminder from the tree that ________.A．it’s better to give than to takeB．trees and plants have their own ways to flourishC．even a good relationship is not always trouble-freeD．acceptance, instead of resistance, is the better way to beIt was raining like nothing before when Ehdaa Bujeldain, an English teacher living with her family in the mountains of Derna in eastern Libya , heard a loud noise that sounded like an explosion (爆炸). Later they learned that a dam (大坝) in Derna had broken down under the pressure of running water. For the next four days, they had no power or internet, and it was only recently that they started to fully understand of the damage caused by the floods.“Half of the city has been destroyed. My mom’s relatives, my friends, my coworkers ——they are all gone. Now we, the survivors, are just ghost s in shells,” says Bujeldain, whose sadness can be easily told from her blank expression.Five days have passed since the terrible flooding in Derna, Libya’s Red Crescent organization estimated that 11,300 people have died, while the city’s mayor believes the number of deaths could be as high as 20,000.Derna is a coastal city with a seasonal river called the Wadi Derna. Despite the abnormally heavy rain, people living near the river had little warning before the floodwaters came rushing in on that terrible morning. United Nations aid chief Martin Griffiths described the scale of the flood as “appalling” (令人惊骇的) and blamed the flood partly on sudden climate change.Now international aid teams are arriving in Derna, but they face challenges due to damaged roads, lack of access to power, water, and fuel. Tarhoni, doctor of the rescue team, warns that the most difficult weeks lie ahead. “One disaster is done and there is another to come,” he says. “The thousands and thousands of people who lost everything these people now need comfort, they need company, they need psychological support.”23. What do we know about Bujeldain’s family from paragraph 1?A．The explosion they heard led to the destruction of the dam.B．Bujeldain saved her family from the floods with her bravery.C．Bujeldain immediately recognized the outbreak of the floods.D．For several days, they didn’t fully realize the seriousness of the floods.24. What does Bujeldain mean by saying they are “just ghosts in shells” in paragraph 2?A．They run out of energy and are very tired.B．They feel lucky as they are safe and sound.C．They are completely saddened and shocked.D．They are sorry for the loss of their homeland.25. According to the passage, which of the following does NOT contribute to the loss of lives?A．The absence of warning. B．The extraordinary rainfall.C．Unexpected climate change. D．The damage to environment.26. What might be the main focus of international aid efforts in Derna?A．Addressing mental problems.B．Providing immediate medical care.C．Conducting climate change research.D．Rebuilding roads and access to resources.By the end of the century, if not sooner, the world’s oceans will be bluer and greener thanks to a warming climate, according to a new study.At the heart of the phenomenon lie tiny microorganisms (微生物) in the ocean called phytoplankton. Because of the way light reflects off the organisms, these phytoplankton create colorful patterns at the ocean surface. Ocean color varies from green to blue, depending on the type and concentration of phytoplankton. Climate change will fuel the growth of phytoplankton in some areas, while reducing it in other spots, leading to changes in the ocean’s appearance.Phytoplankton live at the ocean surface, where they pull carbon dioxide into the ocean while giving off oxygen. When these organisms die, they bury carbon in the deep ocean, an important process that helps to regulate (调控) the global climate. But phytoplankton are vulnerable to the oce an’s warming trend. Warming changes key characteristics of the ocean and can affect phytoplankton growth, since they need not only sunlight and carbon dioxide to grow, but also nutrients.Stephanie Dutkiewicz, a scientist in MIT’s Center for Global Change Science, built a climate model that projects changes to the oceans throughout the century. In a world that warms up by 3C, it found that multiple changes to the color of the oceans would occur. The model projects that currently blue areas with little phytoplankton could become even bluer. But in some waters, such as those of theArctic, a warming will make conditions more suitable for phytoplankton, and these areas will turn greener. “Not only are the quantities of phytoplankton in the ocean changing.” she said, “but the type of phytoplankton is changing.”And why does that matter? Phytoplankton are the base of the food web. If certain kinds begin to disappear from the ocean, Dutkiewicz said, “it will change the type of fish that will be able to live on.” T hose kinds of changes could affect the food chain.Whatever color changes the ocean experiences in the coming future will probably be too gradual and unnoticeable, but they could mean significant changes. “It’ll be a while before we can statistically show that the changes are happening because of climate change,” Dutkiewicz said, “but the change in the color of the ocean will be one of the early warning signals that we really have changed our planet.”27. What are the first two paragraphs mainly about?A．The cause of the changes in ocean color.B．The various patterns at the ocean surface.C．The way light reflects off marine organisms.D．The efforts to fuel the growth of phytoplankton.28. What does the underlined word “vulnerable” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A．beneficial B．sensitive C．significant D．unnoticeable 29. What can we learn from the passage?A．Dutkiewicz’s model aims to project phytoplankton changes.B．Phytoplankton have been used to control global climate.C．Phytoplankton play a declining role in the ecosystem.D．Oceans with more phytoplankton may appear greener.30. What is the main purpose of the passage?A．To explain the effects of climate change on oceans.B．To assess the consequences of ocean color changes.C．To introduce a new method to study phytoplankton.D．To analyze the organization of the ocean food chain.The Chubby Diaries creator is part of a community of larger-bodied travelers who are showing the world that they can do anything. Following them helps because you can be like, “Oh, this place works with larger bodies.” 31 .Second plane seats and belt extendersSouthwest is one of the few airlines to offer plus-size passengers a free second seat. To ensure the extra space, Southwest recommends booking both seats beforehand, then making a request to get your money back. 32 Southwest states: “The armrest is the definitive gauge (测量仪) for a customer of size. If you’re unable to lower both armrests, you need a second seat.” Even if your frame fits between the lowered arms, you may still need a seat-belt extender. 33 .Finding size inclusive tripsFor Natalie Robinson, ziplining (压缩) in Costa Rica determined her bucket list. “Literally for the last 10 years, that’s all I talked about,” said the co-owner of Fat Girls Travel. 34 . Her fortunes changed completely on an August trip to Costa Rica, when a friend found an outfitter without weight restrictions. The guide said Robinson could dash through the rainforest as long as she could reach the starting point high in the tree tops.35When researching a trip, ask about weight restrictions as well as the availability of equipment that can accommodate your size. If you have concerns, bring your own equipment. Plus-size travelers emphasize the importance of being self-sufficient. Finding special clothes and equipment can be challenging in unfamiliar destinations.You might say I found marathoning, step by step. Or perhaps it found me. I was _____________ an athlete growing up.
