广东省佛山市南海区2024-2025学年高一上学期学业水平测试英语试卷一、阅读理解Rohan Chakravarty, a cartoonist from Nagpur, is the creator of Green Humour — a series (系列) of cartoon books focused on wildlife, nature protection. His works bring to life a world where tigers worry about their future and whales throw ocean plastic waste back to humans.Chakravarty was drawn to cartoons, like many children when he was young. Although he would get punished for often drawing on school desks and his textbooks, it didn’t stop him from creating cartoon books based on the cartoons he saw on TV.His turning point came during his first wildlife trip as a volunteer for a Non-Governmental Organization (NGO), where he saw a tiger and was inspired to draw cartoons on wildlife. Originally aiming for a job in medicine, Chakravarty realized it wasn’t his interest. Soon, Chakravarty started working as an animation (动画) designer in a Bengaluru company, and chose cartoons as his medium to communicate serious problems like environmental protection in a more attractive manner.In 2013, Chakravarty started Green Humour, which was published on GoComics, becoming the first Indian cartoon series to reach the world. So far, Chakravarty has published nine books, including Making Friends with Snakes, which has been translated into 14 foreign languages and won a prize at the Green Literature Festival in 2021.As a cartoonist, Chakravarty’s work is not simply saying or drawing something funny, but it relates to a lot of understanding and research. He explained that working with scientists helped him deepen his understanding of wildlife protection and balance humour and hard science. Faced with challenges like losing popularity among young readers and difficulty gaining acceptance from publishers, Chakravarty still continues to create a space for environmental protection through his art, aiming to attract people of all ages to care for the environment.1．What does Green Humour center on?A．Wildlife service.B．Wildlife research.C．Wildlife protection.D．Wildlife organization.2．What can we learn about Chakravarty from paragraph 2?A．He preferred TV to cartoon books.B．He disliked going to school.C．He was attracted to cartoon games.D．He was crazy about drawing.3．What motivated Chakravarty to draw cartoons on wildlife?A．His first wildlife trip.B．His job in medicine.C．His school requirement.D．His interest in volunteering.4．Which of the following can be used to describe Chakravarty’s works?A．Difficult but inspiring.B．Boring but informative.C．Shallow and outdated.D．Interesting and educational.Most of us are all too familiar with that tired feeling after a restless night. However, some social media users have pushed their tiredness further by taking part in a “no-sleep challenge”. One 19-year-old video creator, Jack, shared his effort live about trying to break a world record for several days in a row without sleep. He finished with 264 hours and 24 minutes without sleep, but it was not enough to beat the 1986 Guinness World Record of 453 hours. Guinness stopped keeping track of this record in 1997 for safety reasons, and they were right — going without sleep for a long time can be very dangerous.Adults should aim for more than seven hours’ sleep per night regularly. Sleep enables many of our bodily systems to rest and recover. During the first three stages of sleep, the nervous system that controls rest and digestion takes over, lowering heart speed and blood pressure. The final stage, the rapid eye movement (REM) stage, is key to functions like creativity, learning, and memory.Lack of sleep can lead to a higher risk of health problems, such as serious sadness, heart problems, and high blood pressure. Even 24 hours without sleep can cause serious problems. Signs of lacking sleep can include tired eyes, feeling angry easily, and wanting more food. On the second day, things get worse, thinking weakens and microsleeps — short moments of sleep lasting around 30 seconds — begin. By day three, people may feel disconnected from reality and have a strong need to sleep. Once into day four of sleeplessness, all signs get much worse, leading to a state where you can’t tell what is real and have a painful desire to sleep.Recovery varies from person to person. For some, a good night’s sleep may be enough,while others may take days or weeks to recover. However, even after catching up on sleep, it often doesn’t fix all the changes in the body caused by a lack of sleep. To stay healthy, avoid social media challenges and instead choose good sleep habits to get your seven to nine hours of quality sleep. Your body will thank you.5．What do we know about Jack?A．He broke the Guinness World Record.B．He stayed awake for more than 11 days.C．He suffered no harm from the challenge.D．He shared his experience after the event. 6．Why is the REM stage important?A．It improves digestion.B．It increases heart rate.C．It supports certain brain functions.D．It helps with physical growth.7．What is the best title for the text?A．The Dangers of Lack of Sleep B．Health Benefits of REM SleepC．Recovery from Sleep Loss D．The No-Sleep ChallengeTrying to convince kids to eat their food can be challenging. The tears, the uncontrollable anger — many parents will know the feeling only too well. But those failing to get their child to eat some vegetables can get some relief, as a new study has found that picky eating is largely down to genes (基因), while environmental factors, such as the types of foods eaten at home and where meals are eaten, may only be important when the child is between one and three years old.The research, led by researchers from University College London, King’s College London and the University of Leeds, included more than 2,000 pairs of both identical and non-identical twins born in 2007 in the United Kingdom. Parents answered questions about their children’s eating behaviors from the ages of 16 months to 13 years old. Most identical twins share 100% of their genetic material, while non-identical twins do not, which meant the researchers could compare genetic and environmental influences on picky eating across both groups. Researchers found that non-identical twin pairs were much less similar when it came to picky eating than identical twin pairs. This shows that genes have a large influence on how unwilling a child is to try new foods.Picky eating “often causes a lot of stress for the children and their families,” Moritz Herle, one of the study’s lead authors, said. “Our research shows that differences between children’spicky eating can be largely caused by genes, which hopefully will help to reduce some of the blame directed at parents.”The study also found that the environment can, however, have an influence on a child’s food pickiness when they are between one and three years old. This could mean that, if a child is picky at this age, early efforts to help them learn to eat a wider range of food could reduce their pickiness in the future. For example, parents can try to create a relaxed environment around mealtimes.8．What should be primarily responsible for picky eating according to the new research?A．Foods.B．Genes.C．Age.D．Feeding.9．What can we learn about each pair of identical twins from paragraph 2?A．They have different genetic material.B．They are more willing to taste new foods.C．They are under varied environmental influences.D．They tend to develop similar preferences for foods.10．According to Moritz Herle, what will the research help with?A．Food variety.B．Family harmony.C．Child independence.D．Environment protection.二、其他11．Going for yum cha or dim sum is a practice that has become increasingly popular in the western world —but what does it mean? Yum cha literally translates to “drink tea”, and it is the practice of going to a restaurant to eat dim sum—bite-sized portions of food, usually steamed or fried. People in southern China go to yum cha with family and friends—it is a time to relax and catch up in a laid-back environment.The most popular time to go for yum cha is late morning—or what is known in the West as brunch. In fact, some say that brunch was inspired by yum cha.It is believed that the custom began thousands of years ago when teahouses started cropping up along the Silk Road to provide rest for weary travellers. Later, it was discovered that tea aids digestion, so teahouse owners started offering snacks with their tea and yum cha was born.From the passage, we know that yum cha is ________.A．a moment for relaxation B．a fast-paced dining experienceC．a strictly regulated eating tradition D．a popular custom for the whole day三、阅读理解Last year, Zhang Tian completed his university education and earned his teaching certificate. Like many parents, his own wished for him to pursue a teaching career in a metropolitan area. Similarly, his peers had all migrated to cities like Shanghai or Beijing for job opportunities. Yet, Zhang Tian held a different perspective. He was determined to embark on a new life path. His inspiration came from the remarkable educators he had encountered in rural schools during his early school years, which motivated him to teach in areas where his skills were most desperately required. As a result, he applied to become a volunteer teacher at a rural school and was accepted.Armed with an abundance of books, clothing, and a pair of athletic shoes, Zhang Tian set off for the village with a spirit full of anticipation. He was brimming with excitement about the prospects of self-sufficiency and the adventure of village teaching.However, reality did not entirely align with Zhang Tian’s expectations. The school was smaller than he had imagined, with only three classrooms. A playground lay in front of the classrooms, which turned into a dustbowl on windy days and became muddy on rainy ones. Adjusting to village life proved to be more difficult than anticipated. The power and water supplies was unreliable, so he could only shower every three or four days, and he had to learn how to cook. The idea of leaving did cross his mind, but he swiftly dismissed it, instead seeking solutions to overcome these challenges.12．Why did Zhang Tian become a volunteer teacher in a village school?A．His parents pushed him to do so.B．He failed to land a job in big cities.C．His previous teachers influenced him.D．His friends all chose to work in the village. 13．What can be inferred about Zhang Tian from the passage?A．He is adaptable and resourceful.B．He is easily defeated by difficulties.C．He is athletic and good at basketball.D．He is overly reliant on modern conveniences.四、其他14．根据所学课文，将下列文段重新排序，从A、B、C和D中选择一个最佳选项，构成一个符合逻辑的完整语篇。

高一英语七选五专题测试卷(附答案)
高一英语七选五专题测试卷(附答案)A recent Gallup study found that a majority of working people said they were more angry, stressed and worried in 2018. The fact is that we don’t relax enough and enjoy our leisure time enough.So what’s the fix? Maybe it’s making the be st use of the potential leisure time we do have, particularly our weekends. It feels like a lot of us just use Saturday and Sunday to make up for work and sleep. ____1____. Below are some relaxation tips and a few hints on how to have a good weekend.Take some time away from your phone!It is called “screen/life balance.” _____2_____. Maybe checking your phone for texts or emails only once an hour, instead of all the time. If you want to be really bold, try leaving your phone at home during certain weekend activities.Stay in the moment!Find ways to make your mind focus on where you are in the moment, what you’re doing right then and there, and what it all feels like. “Five senses meditation” is a great way to achieve the stage of focus. To do this, get sti ll and focus on what you’re sensing. Notice five things you can see. Then four that you can feel. Three that you can hear. Two you can taste. One you can smell. _____3_____. And sometimes you don’t have to follow that playbook exactly, just do whatever you want to do with the five senses.____4____.A lot of us fall into the trap of saving weekend work we have to complete for Sunday evening, which means Sunday can be pretty stressful and feel like Monday. To avoid those “Sunday scaries,” maybe get those few hours of work done at some other point during the weekend, so that the last thing you do during your weekend can be something actually fun.Focus on making new memories, rather than just repeating the workweek.To make the most of quality time with friends and loved ones, make it a point to talk about work as little as possible. We should redefine our hangouts: make new memories and learn new things about the people you care about._____5_____. Maybe ask your friends to tell you a memory of their first date or the story of their favorite song. ANYTHING but work.A．Ask questions that go beyond “how was your week?”.B．Beat the “Sunday scaries” by planning something fun, for the end of your weekend! C．Being lost in phones will cause neck pain and prevent people from getting out for fun. D．Thinking about those senses and what you’re experiencing can help you keep focused. E．One recent study found that just over a quarter of working people plan to use all their vacation days. The rest of us — most of us — never do.F．However, there are ways to maximize the weekend time to head back to work on Monday feeling more energized and happier.G．Setting up some rules for phone use over the weekend can be helpful.How to Have Better Communication with ChildrenCommunication works like a bee. It can produce honey or sting（刺痛）. It's true. ____6____ To be better parents, we need to use the tool to develop better communication with our children.Go over the list and consider how it applies to you.Preaching（说教）"Do you think it was nice to talk to your mother that way? We taught you to be respectful and you have to understand that that's not a way to talk. "_____7_____ If you talk like that, kids will do everything to avoid your company.Teasing_____8_____ Something you say is only funny if everyone laughs and thinks it's funny. If not, it's not funny. Laughing with someone is great. Laughing at someone isn't.Threatening"I will take your mobile phone if you don't do what I say. NO more computer. _____9_____You're not allowed to go to any party until you apologize. "Parents who threaten are weak. The problem your kids know you're weak, and they lose respect for you.ComparisonParents' comparisons typically make the child feel bad. This feeling of inadequacy（缺乏信心）remains until old age. It makes the kids try to achieve more than everyone else，and that's impossible. It also makes the kids chase goals for the sake of winning, without being true to themselves.________10________A．What parents say matters a lot!B．Parents need to teach, not preach.C．If you do it one more time, no pocket money for a month.D．So even when they succeed, they don't get a sense of achievement.E．It means you can say no with respect for their thoughts and feelings.F．Parents sometimes say things they think are funny, but hurt their child.G．Our communication is the tool we have to strengthen or destroy relationship.Continuous learning benefits us in many ways. First of all, it allows the increase in knowledge and ability in our career. For example, watching someone work can make us a better worker.____11____ For example, we can learn about the general workforce and how the application process works to better prepare us for job searching. This can help if for some reason you lose your job and need to find other work.What’s more, continuous learning can open our mind. Having an open mind and willingness to take on new ideas can do wonders. First of all it builds your attitude towards change. ____12____ Second, when you take continuous learning into account, you can begin to understand how others feel about a particular issue.____13____ They are always looking for new experiences and do different things. Moreover,they not only have knowledge on various topics that aren’t always related to present roles but also know about the latest trends and technologies in the industry.To develop continuous learning, you have to begin with setting a clear and specific goal.____14____ Once your goal is set, build a system to help support your strategy. You want to be looking for different sources of information, but also to be picky about it, In other words, try to learn within your specific field but ensure the information is coming from a trustworthy source- At the same time, do use tools to help improve your learning system. ____15____ Seminars (研讨会) workshops, and live classes are the tools that modern learners need as they make learning effective.A．Learning can improve other areas in our lives.B．Besides, learning can prepare us for the unexpected.C．If always learning, you are always improving.D．Excellent continuous learners behave in a specific manner.E．Being excited about change can affect others around you positively.F．There’re various tools to help you present information and learning.G．Knowing what you want to achieve can encourage you to keep learnings.Grieve Her Mum Through CookingGrief and mourning can be expressed in many ways. ____16____. She found comfort through cooking her mother’s recipes in a planner and in turn, learned about her moth er. Her attitude to life was mirrored in her cooking.Along with the love of food and family, her mother, and her grandmother before her, had passed down a carved wooden spoon. It was given from one to the next. ____17____. She inherited this spoon and the passion her mother had.After her mother’s death, Debbie also found the planner containing these detailed dinner party plans and recipes. Her mother was not gone. ____18____. And Debbie has learned a lot about her since she began cooking her food.____19____. In trying to make out her mother’s notes, Debbie has bonded again with her father in shared grief and understanding. Asking Dad who is who, what is what and learning and understanding, Debbie has been able to see a new side of her mother.Everything Debbie is cooking is inherited, as is the joy and sense of achievement she feels. When she began cooking with her mother as a kid, she was in charge of turning the toast, to stop it catching. Now she is holding the spoon, adding the spices and still looking up from the stove to her mum. ____20____.A．It was never easy to lose someone we loveB．She was guiding her through a lifetime of foodC．When it reached Debbie, it was worn and perfectD．She felt a sense of achievement in cooking her foodE．She is always going to be her mother’s kitchen followerF．Debbie found a new and unique way to mourn her mumG．However, she was left with some confusion at some recipesToy Story, Cars, Finding Nemo, Wall-E, Up — you have probably watched all these films.____21____ L et’s go through the process of creating a cartoon film.Creating the storyboardThe first step is to write down the main ideas of the story. ____22____ Based on the storyboard, the art department creates the first draft for the characters, their clothing and emotions, and the design sets.Making characters using 3D modellingA special computer program is used to create 3D shapes of the characters, sets and props—this iscalled modelling. ____23____ Special equipment is used to record points on these shapes. This information is then sent to a software program which recreates the 3D shape.Making them moveThe layout crew (摄影构图组) decide how these characters should move and then the cartoonists take over. They use 3D software to create the movements of each character, the skeleton’s (骨架) movements, facial expressions and more, between key frames (帧) in the story.____24____Dressing up for the showThe sets and props are “dressed” according to the designs laid out by the art department. The skin and hair for the characters, their costumes as well as special lighting effects such as shadows, shining reflections are also created.Letting the show begin____25____ The computers draw each frame one by one, with each frame slightly different from the previous one. Each frame takes 5-6 hours to create — imagine how much computing power and time it will take to create 24 frames per second of a 2-hour film!A．From that, storyboards are drawn.B．All these films have cost a large amount of money.C．Remember too, that the movements have to be smooth!D．Some of these shapes are simple, but some are very complex.E．The decorations of the sets and props are created using a software.F．Have you ever wondered how these amazing cartoon films were made?G．All the 3D characters, their movements, and lighting are to be done by computers.Be Slightly FunnierHow would you feel if a colleague suggested you take a comedy class to improve your sense of humor? I felt embarrassed.At home that evening, I asked my other half whether he thinks I'm funny. ___26___ . "Of course you are," they all ensured me. What else could they say? And anyway, I'd already made up my mind. Some people just aren't funny, and I'm one of them.Yet, according to Jennifer Aaker and Naomi Bagdonas-authors of the book Humor, Seriously and experts on the subject, humor is not something you are born with or without. ___27___ . What's more, finding our funny sides makes us appear more competent and confident, strengthens relationships, unlocks creativity and makes us more likable. It helps in any life situation.This undoubtedly explains why future masters of the universe are eagerly signing up for the humor course Aaker and Bagdonas teach at Stanford's Graduate School of Business. They agreed to teach me how to find my funny bones, too.___28___ . As you would hope, they are very amusing. They begin by sending me a questionnaire about what I find funny, what I don't, and how I attempt to make others laugh. The results will apparently reveal my humor type.In our first call, Aaker, a social psychologist (心理学家), explains that many of us leave humor behind when we arrive at adulthood: A four-year-old laughs up to 300 times a day. ___29___ . Next, we discuss the common misunderstandings that stop many of us in our comedy tracks. Thefirst, Aaker says, is the belief that humor has no place in certain situations, especially at work.___30___ . However, 98 percent of top executives say they prefer employees with a sense of humor and 84 percent of bosses believe those employees do better work.A．Rather, it's a muscle you can strengthenB．Then there is the idea that it is too riskyC．We worry about not being taken seriouslyD．My first interaction with the pair is over e-mailE．Then I texted my best friend and my sister-in-lawF．But a 40-year-old takes ten weeks to laugh as muchG．It is far more important to show you have a sense of humorIf you’re a gamer who’s constantly glued to your phone, it could be time to ask for medical help. On June 18, 2018, the World Health Organization（WHO）officially listed “gaming disorder” as a mental health condition. ___31___“Video gaming is like a non-financial kind of gambling （赌博）from a psychological point of view,” Mark Griffiths, a professor from Nottingham Trent University in the UK, told the Associated Press（AP）. “Gamblers use money as a way of keeping score, while gamers use points.”___32___“People need to understand this doesn’t mean every child who spendshours in their room playing games is an addict, otherwise doctors are going to be flooded with requests for help,” Joan Harvey, a spokeswoman for the British Psychological Society, told AP.___33___ For example, a 21-year-old Chinese woman surnamed Wu in Guangdong province went blind in one eye after playing the mobile game King of Glo ry for a whole day. “On days when I have no work, I usually get up at 6 am, eat breakfast and play until 4 pm,” she told the South China Morning Post.“Then I’ll eat something, have a nap（小睡）and play until 1 am.”Wu isn’t alone. According to a study publ ished by China Youth Daily, about one in five young Chinese people play online video games for at least four to five hours per day. ___34___ In April, the Ministry of Education issued a notice asking Chinese schools and parents to prevent students from becoming addicted to the Internet and games.Other countries have also taken action.___35___ Meanwhile, in Japan, some mobile phones have a special mode for children that lets their parents control what games they can download and how long they can play.A．This means it’s now on the same list as other mental illnesses.B．Thankfully, measures have been taken to deal with the problem.C．We often see people around us playing games on their mobile phones.D．In South Korea, children are forbidden to play video games after midnight.E．WHO’s main work is to improve the mental health of individuals and society.F．But if you lose control over your gaming habits, you’ll face serious problems. G．However, it doesn’t matter if you play your favorite game now and then.4 Study Habits You Should Be PractisingWith exams, essays, projects, and many deadlines for different things, effective(有效的) study habits are necessary. ____36____ If you are in need of a bit of an improvement, keep reading forthe top four study habits that you should be practicing.1. Make and use flashcards.___37___ By using flashcards with a question on one side and the answer on the other, you will force your brain to recall he necessary information. Even if you struggle a bit with a card, you will still be actively revising the necessary material.2. Revise, revise, revise!Many students put off studying until just before the exam, with the more hardworking students giving themselves a week or two before a test. ____38____ It’s best to revise the infor mation a little bit every day, so that you are not upset when a test comes around.3. ___39___One of the most effective—and the most fun—methods of studying is to watch related lectures and videos in order to get more material. Watch documentaries or videos on YouTube and educational websites. You may be surprised at how much you can learn from videos, and just how much information is available online.4. Re-write your notes.Studies have shown that writing information out by hand increases your ability to remember the material. This makes the recall go hand-in-hand with muscle memory. ___40___These are the four most effective study habits, and something all successful students do.

No matter what event she attended, a list squad (小队)--which included famous people like Selena Gomez, Zen d and God Ha did -- would be right by her side.But now Swift wants fans to know that her friendships weren't as perfect as she tried to make people believe. In fact, she says she was using her friend group to hide her insecurity(不实全) of feeling “'uncool" and “unpopular". Swift says she went out of her way to show off her squad because she didn't have many friends when she was younger --a memory that still bothered her years later. “Never being popular as a kid was always an insecurity for me,” she says.When she became famous, Swift became obsessed (沉迷) with showing off her popularity. “In my twenties, l found myself surrounded by girls who wanted to be my friends." Swift explains. “So I celebrated my newfound acceptance into a sisterhood." But by constantly putting her friends on display, Swift failed to consider how bad her fans might feel about themselves because they didn’t have a squad like hers. “'I didn't realize that other people might still feel the way I did when I felt so alone," she says.As she became older and more confident in herself, Swift started focusing on the quality of her friends, not the quantity (数量). She says she finally understands that the size of her group doesn‘t mean how “cool" she is. To her, it's much more important to have a few friends who can be trusted rather than a large group of “fair-weather“ friends.While Swift still values her friends she has in her life, she no longer feels the pressure to show off them for the sake of impressing others. “For too long, the opinions of strangers affected how l viewed things, But now I learn not to let outside opinions affect my own life choices.”4. What made Swift show off her list squad?A. The popularity of her friends.B. Her childhood experience.C. The support of her fans.D. Her strong social influence.5. What does paragraph 4 intend to tell us?A. We should make real friends.B. It is important to trust our friendsC, Our friends can affect our behavior.D. There are many ways of making friends.6. What does the underlined word “sake” probably mean in the last paragraph?A. Request.B. Advice.C. Method.D. Purpose.7. From which is the text probably taken?A. A scientific report.C. A travel magazine.B. A social newspaper.D. A movie poster.CWe can learn to be happy but only get lasting benefits if we keep practicing, a new study has revealed.The team behind the University of Bristol's Science of Happiness course had already discovered that teaching students the latest scientific studies on happiness markedly improved their well-being. However, their latest study found that these well-being boosts are short-lived unless the evidence-informed habits learned in the course -- such as gratitude, exercise, or run -- are kept up over the long term.Senior author Professor Bruce Hood said, “It's like going to the gym - we can't expect to do one class and be fit forever, Just as with physical health, we have to continuously work on our mental health；otherwise, the improvements will be temporary.Launched in 2018, the University of Bristol's Science of Happiness course was the first of its kind in the Uk. It involves no exams or coursework and teaches students what the latest peer-reviewed studies in psychology and neuroscience say really makes us happy. Students who took the course reported a 10% to 15% improvement in well-being. However, only those who continued implementing the course learning maintained that improved well-being when they were surveyed again two years later.Professor Hood said, “This study shows that just doing a course is just the start, You must commit to using what you learn on a regular basis. Much of what we teach revolves around positive psychological interventions that take your attention from yourself by helping others being withfriends, or being grateful. This is the opposite of the current 'self-care’ doctrine (学说), but countless studies have shown that getting out of our own heads helps get us away from negative thoughts, which can be the basis of so many mental health problems.8.What does the study find about happiness?A. Happiness can be learned, but we have to work at it.B. Financial success does not produce lasting happiness.C. Happiness is the ability to make the most of what we have.D. Trying too hard to find happiness may have the opposite effect.9. What can we learn from Professor Hood's words?A. Leaming has got to be active and experiential.B. Mental health is as important as physical health.C, Maintaining happiness requires continuous effort.D, Exercise is the best way to keep a healthy lifestyle.10.What words can best describe the course?B. Pioneering and useful.A. Long and complex.D. Interesting and educational.C. Cheap and professional.11. How can we improve mental health according to the last paragraph?B. By focusing on ourselves.A. By interacting with others.D. By avoiding negative friendsC. By learning a new course.DIn the coming decade, space agencies and private space companies like SpaceX are planning to build a base on the Moon and Mars. While scientists are already building rockets for the journey, for long-term human settlements on them, astronauts will need fuel to carry out daily tasks. Many have suggested hydrogen (氢). But a group of scientists is working on turning CO2 in the atmosphere into jet fuel. As Mars is rich in CO2 and the lunar surface has a high concentration of CO2, it may be a feasible solution.For now the team of' scientists at the University of Oxford is focusing on making jet fuel for the aviation (航空) industry, As the aviation industry releases over 900 million tons of CO2 every year to battle climate change, it is necessary to tun the tide, So far aviation scientists have tried to use other energy resources like electricity to fly, But such flights are limited to short distances. For long-distance fights, there is no alternative yet,The concept of turning CO2 into jet fuel is not new, Previously, other similar methods had to rely on expensive catalysts (催化剂) like cobalt to speed up the chemical reaction. But what Oxfordscientists suggest is adding a cheap iron-based catalyst and hydrogen to turn CO2 into liquid fuel. As the process would not require using fossil fuel, it will make the industry carbon neutral (碳中和的)The scientists tested the new catalyst in a lab at 300'C and at 10 times the air pressure at sea level. The entire process took 20 hours and turned 38 percent of CO2 into new chemicals. About 48percent of the chemicals were jet fuel hydrocarbon and the rest were other by-products that are used in the production of plastic.Professor Peter Edwards, a lead scientist in the project, said the new method could be improved in two to three years to produce jet fuel in large quantities. “This is a really exciting, potentially revolutionary advance. Our vision is that the world can see that CO2 collected can be used as an energy carrier to enable sustainable aviation ”12. Which word can best explain “feasible” underlined in paragraph 1?A. Unique.B. Practical.C. Time-tested.D. Quick13. What problem does the aviation industry face?A. It is suffering from a serious fuel shortage.B. The traditional jet fuel is much too expensive,C. Climate change partly disturbs long-distance flights.D. Its alternative energy resources are not powerful enough.14. What do we know about the Oxford scientists’ method of fuel-making?A. It is green and cost-saving.B. It is complex and time-consumingC. It runs tests in natural environment.D. It starts with immediate chemical reaction.15. What's the purpose of the author?A. To attract people to explore the space.B. To inform us of a breakthrough in fuel research.C. To warn us the dangers of climate change.D. To encourage us to work in the aviation industry第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5 分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

江苏省淮安市2023-2024学年高一下学期期末调研测试英语试卷一、阅读理解Artennial celebrates tradition of artistic excellence at UChicagoFour innovative UChicago Arts organizations will celebrate their anniversaries (周年纪念日) during Artennial, a celebration of the tradition and future of artistic excellence at the University of Chicago.ContempoDevoted specifically to the performance of new music, Contempo — formerly known as the Contemporary Chamber Players — is one of the most successful new music groups in the nation. Now in its 60th season, Contempo bas earned a reputation for outstanding performances of music by living composers.Court TheatreStarting its 70th season, Court Theatre is devoted to creating innovative productions of classic plays. Through main stage productions, audience enrichment programs and cooperation s with UChicago, it re-examines, re-imagines and renews classic texts that raise questions that show the human experience.The Renaissance SocietyThe Renaissance Society is an independent, non-collecting museum of contemporary (当代的) art located on the campus of UChicago. Founded in 1915 to encourage a greater understanding of culture, it presents exhibitions, public programs and publications that advance the ideas and expressions of our time.The Smart MuseumCelebrating its 50th season, the Smart Museum is a perfect museum for encounters with art. As the fine arts museum of UChicago, it is home to thought-provoking (发人深省的) exhibitions and a delicate collection of ancient, modern and contemporary art from across the globe. Joining hands with scholars, it has established itself as a pioneering model of what a 21st-century academic art museum can be.1．Which arts organization has the longest history?A．Contempo.B．Court Theatre.C．The Renaissance Society.D．The Smart Museum.2．What can visitors do at the Smart Museum?A．Meet smart artists.B．Attend fine arts lessons.C．Shake hands with scholars.D．Enjoy global art of different eras. 3．Where can the text be found?A．In an art history book.B．In an artist biography.C．In a university newspaper.D．In a university introduction.A woman, who was given a virtual reality headset (虚拟现实耳机) experience for her 103rd birthday, chose a walk along a local cliff (悬崖) path—just near her care home. Joyce Penfold put on the headset and treadmill (踏车) combination which can transport people around the world or universe. She was given the opportunity with help from the University of Plymouth’s ‘Generating Older Active Lives Digitally’ program.Joyce was previously given the chance to try the ROVR, choosing to take a virtual trip to the seaside in Godrevy, Hayle. There she saw a lighthouse in the sea. She liked the technology so much the GOALD team gave her another go at her 103rd birthday party at Tresillian House. That time she chose Maker Heights, just 63 miles from her Falmouth retirement home.“Usually the only time I go out is when my daughter takes me out, and the furthest we go is just a few miles, for a coffee perhaps and a good old chat,” said Joyce.The team at the University of Plymouth is attempting to study how technology impacts on the health and well-being of older people. The headset works with an omni-directional (全方向的) treadmill, which allows the user to move in any direction—this gives users the chance to move around freely in a virtual environment as if they were actually there.“I wasn’t totally surprised because she does accept everything that’s new. I think she was over 70 when she took her first aeroplane flight, so nothing puts her off,” said Joyce’s daughter, Maria Blagden.“We’re really interested in the use of technology to support physical activity for older adults, and for us this technology has a lot of potential in that regard. As people walk on the treadmill, they get to explore the virtual worlds, and having a range of places to be explored creates a motivation (动力) to be active,” said Dr. Hannah Bradwell, Digital Health Research Fellow for UoP’s GOALD project.4．What was Joyce’s 103rd birthday gift?A．A virtual reality headset.B．A virtual trip to Maker Heights.C．A journey to Godrevy, Hayle.D．A tour to her care home on a treadmill. 5．What does the team at the University of Plymouth want to learn about?A．The physical conditions of the older people.B．The new function of a virtual reality headset.C．The ways of moving a treadmill in any direction.D．The effect of technology on the fitness of the aged.6．What is Bradwell’s attitude towards the use of technology?A．Favorable.B．Unclear.C．Indifferent.D．Doubtful. 7．What do we know about Joyce Penfold?A．She was lonely and went mad with boredom.B．She was energetic and had a liking for field trips.C．She was curious and had a sense of adventure.D．She was considerate and showed a spirit of youth.Humans aren't very good listeners. Not compared to some spiders (蜘蛛), anyway.Orb-weaver spiders don't have ears, but in 2022, researchers found the arachnids (蜘形钢动物)use their webs as external eardrums (鼓膜). The spider silk acts as a super-sensitive listening tool, capable of detecting noises from up to ten feet away, and this knowledge of spiders presents a big opportunity for humans to transform our own sound engineering, according to the research led by Ron Miles, a mechanical engineer at Binghamton University.The human experience of hearing is determined by air pressure in our ears. In response to pressure changes, our eardrums vibrate (震动) at different frequencies that send electrical signals to our brains, which distinguish the sounds. Microphones were built to imitate human eardrums, similarly vibrating in response to pressure changes. But to make the microphone more powerful and sensitive, they need to be larger-a reality that doesn't agree with the general desire for smaller and more transportable technology. "In this case, you should think about how small animals do it," says Miles.Spiderwebs are less affected by changes in air pressure. Instead, they vibrate in the airflow created by a sound wave, allowing the arachnids to "hear" by feeling that movement—and evenlocate the direction of the noise.Miles found that spider silk registered sounds between 1 hertz (赫兹)and 50 kilohertz—a much wider range than the 20 hertz to 20 kilohertz that humans can hear. By applying this sort of sound system to a microphone, man can make it quite a bit smaller without paying a price.The research presents a new point for a variety of advances in sound technology. Miles and others are working to develop new instruments, which might help teat hearing problems in babies. And spider silk-inspired sound systems may enable researchers to pick up on other sounds outside the human ear's range—such as low-frequency noises that predict the formation of tornadoes (龙卷风), which scientists can use to track the storms.8．What do we know about the spider silk?A．It functions as a listening device.B．It acts as the spider's eardrums.C．It makes changes to air pressure.D．It interprets signals from the web. 9．What does the underlined word "registered" probably mean in paragraph 5?A．Created.B．Recorded.C．Applied.D．Pronounced. 10．What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?A．The action against natural disasters.B．The inspiration for the new instruments.C．The working rule of the sound technology.D．The potential application of thetechnology.11．What is a suitable title for the text?A．Never too late for us humans to learn from natureB．Time for humankind to live in peace with the spidersC．How spider silk gives inspiration to future microphonesD．How the arachnids "hear" from long distances away without earsA large-scale analysis (分析) of nearly 1,000 scientific studies has shown just how closely human activity is tied to public health. The findings suggest environmental changes caused by human activities are making the risk of infectious (传染的) disease outbreaks all the more likely. The biodiversity (生物多样性) crisis — which has let some one million plant and animal species at risk of extinction — is a leading driver of disease spread, the researchers found.“It could mean that by changing the environment, we increase the risks of future pandemics(流行病),” said Jason Rohr, a co-author of the study and a biologist at the University of Notre Dame.The analysis studied at least one of five “global change drivers” affecting wildlife and landscapes on Earth: biodiversity change, climate change, habitat loss and change, chemical pollution and the introduction of non-native species to new areas. The researchers collected nearly 3,000 data points related to how each of these factors might impact the seriousness of infectious disease outbreaks.Their conclusions showed that four of the examined factors — climate change, chemical pollution, the introduction of non-native species to new areas and biodiversity loss — all increased the likelihood of spreading diseases, with the latter having the most significant impact. Disease and death rate were nearly nine times higher in areas of the world where human activity has reduced biodiversity, compared to the levels expected by Earth’s natural variation in biodiversity.One global change factor, however, actually reduced the likelihood of disease outbreaks: habitat loss and change. But here, context is key. Most habitat loss is linked to creating a single type of environment — urban (城市的) ecosystems — which generally have good sanitation (卫生) systems, reducing opportunities for disease outbreaks.The new work adds to past research on how human activity can cause the spread of disease. The research signals the need for public health officials to remain watchful as the effects of human-caused climate change arise.12．What do the findings reveal according to the first two paragraphs?A．Human activities do great damage to public health.B．Biodiversity crises increase the risk of disease outbreaks.C．Millions of plant and animal species are at risk of extinction.D．Human-caused environmental changes lead to species extinction.13．What is paragraph 3 mainly about?A．The process of the study.B．The result of the study.C．The meaning of data analysis.D．The impact of disease outbreaks. 14．Compared with the other four “global change drivers”, habitat loss and change _____.A．worsened the disease outbreaks B．had the most significant impactC．made urban ecosystems more delicate D．made it less likely to spread diseases15．What might be the focus of the follow-up discussion?A．The expectations held by public health officials.B．The measures to be taken by the health systems.C．The effects of human activities on climate change.D．The concerns about climate change and biodiversity loss.Whether they’re upset at you or they just need to release, it can be difficult to know how to help someone you care about when you’re not speaking face to face. 16 Thankfully, there are some effective ways to relieve a person’s anger over text.●Find out why they’re upset. It’ll be easier to calm them down if you know why they’re angry. Read their texts carefully to understand their point of view, and ask clarifying (阐明性的) questions if you’re unsure what’s made them so upset. 17 It’ll also make them feel better knowing that you’re listening to them in no hurry.● 18 Use empathetic (共情的) statements that confirm their points of view. Usually, angry people will start to cool off if someone tells them their feelings are understandable. Acknowledge (认可) the other’s feelings. Be empathetic towards them. At least tell them that you understand where they’re coming from. It will likely ease the situation.●Offer a solution. See if there’s anything that can be done to settle the situation. Ask permission first so that your loved one doesn’t feel like you’re ignoring their feelings. Then, offer a solution that applies to the situation they are upset about. If they are angry at you, don’t focus on being right or getting back at them. 19●Reread your responses before you hit “send”. 20 Avoid sending the first thought that comes to your mind, especially if you are stressed, or angered by the text they sent you. Try to remember how much you care about this person and choose your words carefully. This will help you avoid sending an angry text yourself.A．Calm them down.B．Recognize their perspectives.C．Apologize if you made a mistake.D．Dealing with an angry person over text is no easy task.E．An angry person may be especially sensitive to what you say.F．Instead, try to come to an answer that makes you both happy.G．It’ll help you rise to the situation if you know the exact reasons.二、完形填空While visually impaired (受损) runners usually use human guides, Thomas Panek became the first to complete the race supported by dogs, making history at the New York City Half Marathon. Three dogs—Westley, Waffle and Gus—each 21 him for a third of the race.Thomas told CNN that though he 22 the support of human volunteers, he missed the feeling of23 . In 2015, he established the Running Guides programme 24 dogs to support runners. When selecting his partners for the New York race, he chose siblings (兄妹) Waffle and Westley to join Gus, his full-time guide dog. “The 25 is really important.

高中英语高一下学期七选五模拟试卷测试题(含答案)
高中英语高一下学期七选五模拟试卷测试题（含答案）I was born in the U.S, but grew up in Greece, experiencing the best of both worlds. I began studying French in sixth grade while in Grece. ____1____ I moved to the U.S. at 18 to study at Oakland University. My love of French carried over to college and French became one of my majors. Besides French, I am also majoring in journalism with a dream to travel and write.____2____ I wanted to understand the nature of a culture different from the ones I was familiar with. I wanted to get to know the people and make basic connections. During my stay in France, I maintained a blog and I wrote a lot.Through my study, I got the chance to talk to the locals and share stories and experiences with my host family. ____3____Classes were long, homework was pleasantly challenging, but there was plenty of time in that one month of July to explore the city and see France. The food and the trips were by far the best part of my experience. I was in homestay and all my meals were home-made, French and delicious. ____4____ I also got to see places that I had only ever heard about in my studies. Physically going to sights rich in history and beauty was incredible.Studying abroad, you will be able to explore the world and become more aware of other cultures.A study abroad experience is eye-opening and fruitful in all aspects, no matter how long the stay is. You will make friends and discover delicious or perhaps strange foods. ____5____A．The cheese and bread were wonderful.B．It was indeed the most tiring moment in my life.C．To realize it I chose to study abroad in Angers, France.D．I couldn’t even find a single minute to record my experiences.E．Such experience will make you a culturally and socially richer person.F．That’s when my passion for the French language and culture was born.G．Despite the busy class schedule, my time in Angers was simply lovely.Sometimes we just can’t avoid a discussion turning into an argument. If you do start arguing with someone.it is important to keep things under control and there are ways to do this.The most important thing: don’t raise your voice. That will just make the other person lose their temper too.____6____ Say “I’m sorry” and continue to talk calmly and quietly, and then your partner will be more ready to think about what you are saying.____7____ Try to keep to the topic you are talking about. Just concentrate on solving the one problem you are having. For example, if you’re arguing about the housework, don’t start talking about mobile phone bills as well.And my final tip is that, if necessary, you can call “Time out”, like in a sports match. If an argument is getting out of control, you can say to the other person, “listen, I’d rather talk about this tomorrow when we’ve both calmed down”. You can then continu e the discussion the next day when perhaps both of you are feeling less tense and angry.____8____ Also, you may find the problem much easier to solve when you’ve both had a good night’s sleep.I want to say one last important thing. ____9____ This is not true. Conflict normal part of life, and dealing with it is an important part of any relationship. If you don’t learn to argue properly, then when a real problem comes along, you won’t be prepared to face it together. Think of the smallerarguments as training. Learn how to argue cleanly and fairly. ____10____A．It is also very important to stick to the point.B．Some people think that arguing is always bad.C．You may believe that arguing is impossible to avoid.D．The second thing is that you should find a good topic.E．It will help your relationship become stronger and last longer.F．You are more likely to reach an agreement when you are both calm.G．If you find yourself doing this, stop for a moment and take a deep breath.All parents know that young children are always energetic, eager to run, jump and play.

Set a watch or a timer on your phone and do as much work as you can inside 1 to 3 hours. After that, take a break and enjoy your destination. This is especially important if your writing is task- based rather than time- based.
