江苏省泰州中学2023-2024学年高一下学期4月期中英语试题
江苏省泰州中学2023-2024学年高一下学期4月期中英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解Kabita Lohar lives in Pipriya village, a community located at the banks of the Mahakali River in Nepal. She is usually seen walking along the riverbank, carrying a blue box which contains equipment and chemicals to test the quality of water in the river. As Kabita carefully collects water samples (样本) from the river into her test-tube and observe the color of the water, she says, “Our rivers are getting polluted; we need to raise awareness and encourage the community to save our rivers.”Kabita is one of the many citizen scientists trained by Oxfam. Around five years ago, Oxfam started working with the communities living in the riverbanks of the Mahakali River through a project called Transboundary Rivers of South Asia (TROSA). The project aims to give the riverside communities more access to and control over water resources. “We use this data to encourage effective measures and raise awareness about water pollution among the community members and local government,” says Kabita.People used to believe that the water in at the Mahakali River contains something that is good for health, so it was a common practice to drink water directly from the river. But with the data on water pollution provided by citizen scientists like Kabita, they could raise awareness of the importance of not drinking water directly from the river.Kabita says, “A few months ago, we spoke with our mayor (市长) about introducing measures to prevent the inflow of waste made by families and hotels into the river. Our mayor has stated that he will meet our demands. But we don’t just want promises; we want action, and we will keep following up until the promise becomes a reality.”1．Why does Kabita walk along the bank?A．To clean the riverbanks.B．To collect experimental data.C．To enjoy nature for relaxation.D．To collect water from family use.2．How did Kabita make the villagers drink clean water?A．By showing them the truth.B．By finding clean water for them.C．By encouraging effective measures.D．By stopping pouring waste into the river.3．Which of the following can best describe Kabita?A．Energetic.B．Confident.C．Organized.D．Determined. 4．What is the text mainly about?A．Water pollution is serious in Nepal.B．Science is helpful in reducing pollution.C．A citizen scientist fights water pollution.D．A youth makes a difference to her village.No FIFA World Cup would be complete without “psychic (通灵的)” animals predicting the winners, and Qatar 2022 was the same. A range of animals—big and small — have tried to predict the scoreline.It all started with Paul, the ”psychic“ octopus (章鱼). He put TV experts to shame with an unbelievable group of correct World Cup winner predictions at the Aquarium Sea Life Center in Oberhausen, Germany. He correctly predicted eight World Cup matches at South Africa’s tournament in 2010, including Spain beating the Netherlands in the World Cup final.Paul’s successor, Rubio the octopus, did not end well. It became a star in Japan for its 100%success in predicting group-stage matches, including Japan’s win against Colombia in the 2018 World Cup held in Russia. Rubio did not get the chance to make its prediction for the Round-of-16 after it was cut into pieces and turned into seafood.Taiyo the otter had good news for Japanese fans at the 2022 World cup in Qatar, correctly predicting Japan’s group-stage win over Germany. From his home at the Maxell Aqua Park Shinagawa in Japan, Taiyo was given three buckets (桶) to choose from — Japan (blue), draw (yellow) and Germany (red) — and did not hesitate about picking up his tiny football and placing his bet on Japan. He was widely praised online for his action.And let’s not forget another star — Marcus, the “mystic pig”. In the 2018 World Cup, Marcus predicted a World Cup victory for England after selecting apples with the England flag on British morning television. However, Marcus’ fortune-telling record was shattered when England was knocked out in the semi-final.Nelly the elephant from Serengeti Park in Hodenhagen, Germany, also meant business when she had a group of 30 out of 33 matches correct predictions in the 2006 World Cup, the 2010 World Cup and the 2012 Euro.Camilla the ”mystic“ camel from Melton Mowbray in England did have good news for England, however. She correctly predicted the Three Lions’ group-stage win over Iran at the Qatar World Cup. Her owners said that their camel was ”never wrong“.5．What can we learn about Rubio?A．It ended up being eaten.B．It missed the 2018 World Cup.C．It performed much better than Paul.D．It became famous after the Round-of-16. 6．What quality of Taiyo was stressed in Paragraph 4?A．It knew Japanese players well.B．It could recognize many colors.C．It was quick at decision-making.D．It was good at catching a football. 7．What does the underlined word ”shattered“ in paragraph 5 probably mean?A．Updated.B．Shared.C．Removed.D．Broken.8．What is the author’s attitude towards psychic animals?A．He doesn’t give his opinion.B．He is doubtful about them.C．He thinks them interesting.D．He is supportive to them.Topher White spends so much time walking in the forest and thinking about how quickly we’re losing it. The engineer is determined to stop global deforestation. Founder of the San Francisco-based non-profit Rainforest Connection, White has developed a small but clever strategy: using old cell phones to listen for the sound of destruction.Forests are disappearing worldwide, and fast：an area about half the size of England is lost each year. The Amazon has lost close to one-fifth of its rainforest cover in the last four decades. Forest loss not only harms wildlife, including many species that live nowhere else, but it’s also a big contributor to the greenhouse gas emission (排放) that cause climate change.”I didn’t know any of this when I started,“ says White, who began his journey in 2011, when he traveled to Indonesian Borneo to help decreasing gibbons (长臂猿).Between 50 and 90 percent of the logging that happens in the world’s rainforests is illegal, according to White, yet detecting chainsaws (电锯) and other sounds related to that activity can betough, because the air is already filled with the loud unpleasant mixture of sounds from nature. So he has developed a system in which he installs a cell phone that stays charged by solar cells, attaches an extra microphone, and listens. From there, the device can detect the sounds of chainsaws nearly a mile away.Because it’s unfeasible to have people listening to the devices all the time, he added some “old-school data analysis”, so that the cell phone’s computers can distinguish a chainsaw’s sound from others in the forest. This way, his device can automatically detect logging activity and send a text alert to authorities who can determine if it’s illegal and then stop it.White notes that he’s not alone in the fight: Many people and organizations are working tirelessly to stop forests from disappearing. For instance, local groups are particularly active in forest conservation efforts, White says.So far, his monitoring devices have been used in Cameroon, Ecuador, Peru, and Brazil and will soon be used in Bolivia. It’s not just about listening for logging. The same technology that can pick out the buzz of a chainsaw can pick out the sounds of specific birds, which is why Whtie sees the forest recordings as a potential science tool. He’s urging biologists and ecologists to use his monitoring system anywhere, whether it’s a remote forest or a park in London. “The more we learn about these places,” he says, “the easier it’ll be to protect them.”9．The second paragraph is mainly about .A．the measures to prevent forest lossB．the causes and effects of forest lossC．the areas that suffer great forest lossD．the urgency about reducing forest loss10．What does the underlined word “unfeasible” in Paragraph 5 most probably mean?A．Impractical.B．Unnecessary.C．Possible.D．Significant.11．In Topher White’s opinion, we should protect nature based on .A．our advanced technology B．our strong teamwork spiritC．our good understanding of it D．our environmental awareness12．What would be the best title for the passage?A．Efforts should be taken to preserve natureB．Your old cell phone can help save the rainforestC．Old cell phones can be used for helping gibbonsD．A creative way is being used to protect specific birdsFood waste is a major issue in agriculture and in homes. If you grow your own food, the last thing you want is to let your hard work go to waste. 13 It begins with the plants you choose, and goes right through to preservation (保存) of your harvests. Here are some tips for you.When planning a food-producing garden, it’s very important to choose the right plants for the right places. Waste is far more likely to happen if you are growing plants that are not suited to the climate, soil, and growing conditions. 14 Make sure they do not just provide food today, but can also adapt to the changing climate. If you make the right plant choices, you are likely to get a good harvest.Sometimes cooperation is key. People may often have more seeds (种子) than they really need, particularly in small gardens. However, seeds are usually only viable (能存活的) for a certain length of time. 15 And you can also share skills and knowledge with each other.16 You might, for example, grow some strawberries inside a greenhouse, with others outdoors. Those grown under cover will typically be ready to harvest a little earlier. Or you can grow different varieties of plants.Once you have grown your crops, it is important to be ready to preserve what needs to be preserved. This can happen in a range of different ways. You can freeze, pickle (腌制), or can a wide range of garden produce. 17A．Communities can come together to harvest crops.B．Many common weeds or flowers can be sources of food.C．Preventing food waste in the garden is a long term process.D．So think about how you can create good systems in your garden.E．Sharing them between households can avoid wasting their potential.F．Make sure you know how to do so properly when harvest time comes.G．Scheduling different harvest periods for certain crops can help avoid waste.二、完形填空At 95, Brigid Kavanagh finally realized her longtime dream.

There are many scientific breakthroughs made by women in the Antarctic. Here are four landmarks in Antarctica and they’re named for the female pioneers.Jones Terrace(梯田)The ice-free terrace in eastern Antarctica’s Victoria Land bears Jones name. In 1969, geochemist Lois M. Jones led the first all-female research team from the US to work in Antarctica. Jones and her team studied chemical weathering(风化作用)in the McMurdo Dry Valleys, an ice-free area of Antarctica. Through chemical analyses of rocks they had collected,Jones and her team discovered many geochemical characteristics of the valley’s ice-covered lakes.Mount Fineness8,202-foot-high Mount Fineness,located on Antarctica’s largest island—Alexander Island-is named for Ginny Fineness. She established and maintained 80-foot-tall radio towers in the Antarctic. In 1985, Fineness became the first female invited to join the Antarctic Club, a British supper club open to individuals who have spent extended time in the Antarctic region. Francis PeakFrancis PeakThe 3,727-foot-tall peak on Antarctica’s Adelaide Island is named after Dame Jane Francis,who is the first female director of the British Antarctic Survey, the national polar research institute of the UK. Her collection of fossils on Seymour Island helped conclude in a 2021 paper that Antarctica’s abundant plant fossils indicate the continent once had a much warmer climate than it currently does. Peden CliffsPeden Cliffs near Antarctica’s Marie Byrd L and are proof of the labor of Irene Peden. She was the first American female scientist to both live and work in the Antarctic,where she used radio waves to study ice sheets. Peden and her team determined how very low frequency radio waves spread over long polar distances by measuring pathways in the ice. They also used varying radio wave frequencies to measure the thickness of Antarctica’s ice sheets.1. Which of the following is named after a builder of radio towers in the Antarctic?A．Peden Cliffs. B．Francis Peak.C．Mount Fineness. D．Jones Terrace.2. Who helped prove the previous higher temperatures of the Antarctica?A．Irene Peden. B．Dame Jane Francis.C．Ginny Fineness. D．Lois M.Jones.3. What was special about Irene Peden according to the text?A．She could judge the thickness of Antarctica’s ice sheets.B．She discovered a lot of ice-covered lakes in the Antarctic.C．She was the first female American to explore the Antarctic.D．She correctly measured the spreading speed of radio waves.12. My neighbors across the street take pride in one of the most striking trees in the neighborhood—a towering oak that is over 75 years old. This year, after a wet, warm summer, leaves were a bit different in my Massachusetts town. And through some combination of events, that glorious oak seemed to have dropped all of its uncountable leaves on a single windy day. I arrived at home that afternoon to find our front walkway, driveway and sidewalk completely blanketed.My son and I had a great time making a leaf pile for jumping and enjoying pillowy fun. The whole time, I was fascinated by the speed of this year’s leaf drop. Even though I was aware that it was an accident of wind patterns that left all the leaves in our yard, I kept looking up and feeling a rush of awe at the suddenly bare branches that watched quietly over our neighborhood, starting its restful season before setting spring leaf buds.And I felt thankful for those fallen leaves as I was reminded of my favorite quote from the author and naturalist Ha l Borland. He wrote it referencing October, but this year’s later drop had me change the month: “November is the fallen leaf, but it is also a wider horizon more clearly seen. It is the distant hills once more in sight, and the enduring constellations(星座) above them once again. ”When I lay in that pile of dry, crisp leaves and looked up into the oak tree across the street, I felt a clarity and peace that comes along with the inconveniently early sunsets and chilly temperatures of the transition from fall into winter. I could still admire the tree as I had in spring and summer, but I could also see through it, beyond it, to the big sky that blankets us all.1.

A new study says the Amazon rainforest is nearing a tipping point(临界点) in its decline that could see the biologically rich and diverse ecosystem turned into a savannah(热带草原).“The Amazon is losing its ability to recover from disturbances like drought and ext reme weather. Deforestation and climate change are likely the main drivers of this decline,” study co-author Niklas Boers said in a statement. The researchers say they’ve found evidence of this decline across 75 percent of the Amazon.“It’s worth reminding ourselves that if it gets to that tipping point and we commit to losing the Amazon rainforest, we will get significant feedback on global climate change,” said Timothy Lenton, a scientist and co-author of the study.The research team looked at three decad es’ worth of satellite data, paying close attention to trees and other plants after extreme events. The researchers concluded that the forest, which is essential for oxygen production and carbon sequestration(碳封存), has been losing its resilience for the last two decades.The researchers say the forest is nearing a tipping point, but the arrival date is unclear as a number of factors can push it closer to or farther from that edge. It’s just too challenging to estimate when the change may occur. But the scientists warn that once the tipping point has been crossed, the change could happen quickly.The news comes after the Amazon recorded record levels of deforestation in Brazil in January. Animal agriculture is causing deforestation in the Amazon, as Brazil is now the world’s top beef exporter. Last November, the EU took steps to ban beef linked to deforestation. “What we propose is a pioneering initiative,” Virginijus Sinkevicius, the EU environment commissioner, said. “The EU action alone will not solve the problem. We also need major markets like the US to clean up their supply chain.”1. What can we learn from the study?A．The Amazon rainforest is in danger of changing into grassland.B．The Amazon rainforest has reached the point of no return.C．Scientists are convinced that the change could happen quickly.D．Scientists are unclear about what is responsible for the decline.2. What does the underlined word “resilience” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A．The ability to predict the future. B．The ability to rise to challenges.C．The ability to remain unchanged. D．The ability to go back to normal.3. What does the EU environment commissioner expect?B．The export of beef should be banned.A．Deforestation will become easy to dealwith.C．More countries should join hands. D．The EU should adopt strict measures.4. What is the text likely to be?A．An adventure diary. B．A biology textbook.C．An official proposal. D．A scientific report.14. The proverb “Work is worship (热爱，崇拜)” emphasizes the importance of work in our life. It states that doing work must be the real worship of the life of every human being.Human beings are considered the most important entity (独立存在体) in this universe because we are blessed with brains and intelligence. The brain provides the power to think and understand about different things in the world. We all have some purpose in our lives and doing work helps in achieving the purpose of our lives.It is very important for all the students to understand the importance of work. This stage is very important in every person’s life. The habit that is developed at this age is continued till death. If the students learn to work in this stage they continue the same in future too. For the students, real worship is not the worshiping of god but doing their studies in a sincere way. They need to do regular studies with proper concentration every day.The students who are attentive and do their work sincerely are rewarded with good marks while the lazy students who avoid doing their work suffer later in their lives. This is because there is no substitute (代替) for hard work. Hard working students grow up to became good citizens of society and the nation in future. Work teaches the students to be disciplined in their life.Every day we hear of new inventions and achievements made by the people in the world. It could not be possible if the people would not have done their work sincerely. Our history is shining bright because of the great deeds of some great personalities. This is also because of the people who considered their work as worship and performed it honestly. Such people never ran away from doing work. They would not be able to make their names shine in history without hard work. Thus, it can be stated that every success has a big struggle and dedication behind it. People who worship their work can achieve great heights in their life.“Work is worship.” is a popular quote to make people understand the importance of work in everyone’s life. The one who understands the importance of the work does it pr operly without thinking of the fruit. The fruit will surely be sweet if the effort is honest.1.

When my children haven’t played outside enough, I can tell their energy lev els will go up and the noise will increase in the house. I feel upset, so I tell them it’s time to go outside. Usually, they complain and come up with reasons why staying in is better, but I insist. Within minutes, they’re out and running around. Sometimes I give them a minimum time limit, say 20 minutes, before they could come back inside. 1Kids need consistent outdoor play. There are many benefits, and I’d like to share some of them.Outdoor play is good for kids’ physical health. 2 Movements like rolling and jumping also stimulate a child’s vestibular system. It’s the organizer for other senses and affects things like balance and space awareness. Children need to stimulate it regularly, and outdoor play allows this to happen naturally.Outdoor play is beneficial mentally. It makes kids happy. You will see it when they come inside, tired but satisfied. It also gives children a chance to be in a space without fixed rules. There are no requirements to be quiet or stay clean. 3 It helps result in imaginative play and a creative flow state.4 There’s so much active learning that goes on outdoors. When kids get outdoors, they take the information they’ve heard in the classroom and apply it to real life. For example, building a bridge across a hole that will support the weight or getting the right consistency of mud by mixing dirt and water. They’ll also do better in school after spending more time outside.Outdoor play is of great importance, so encourage your kids to take part in it. 5 You can also take them to beautiful parks and forests on weekends. Your kids will get hours of enjoyment, and the benefits are far-reaching.16. Manny Remilus spent a lot of time in and out of the hospital as a child. Now he is a _________.
