With school starting there are new things to try out and experience. For example? I’m starting a new sport, Track. It’s similar to Cross Country, which I did from August till November.Being here for half a year now? I can easily tell the differences between my two schools.

Now I love it, especially to watch it with my host parents.

There are around 3.5 million Bangladeshis at risk of river flooding every year according to a 2023 report by the World Bank.On Wednesday, at least 17 of the country’s 64 districts (地区), mostly in the northern and north-eastern Sylhet, were suffering from the natural disaster. Government officials said at least 36 people had been killed and about 4.5 million people had been stuck so far. The floods also caused damage to agriculture (农业), electricity, and clean water supply.Sylhet is among the worst affected, with several areas without electricity. “Many people are in great need of food and drinking water,” said Enam Ahmed, 45, living in the worst-hit Sunmaganj district. “There is water everywhere but no drinking water. Flood shelters are filled with people but they are not getting enough food,” he said.The situation in Bangladesh has been worsened by rainwater falling down from the surrounding hills of India’s Meghalaya state, which received more than 970 mm (about 38 inches) of rain on Sunday, according to a government report.“The flood situation in the three Barak valley districts continues to be very serious. Army rescuers have evacuated (疏散) thousands of trapped people to safe places. 14 rescue teams with more than 70 boats and over 400 men have been pressed into action in the heavily flooded districts,” said a local flood control official.

Scientists found a connection between climate change and the temperature and duration of the summer season. Summers in the Northern hemisphere(北半球) could last nearly six months by the year 2100 if global warming continues, according to the study. With the seasons off-balance, there will be harmful effects on human health and agriculture.Yuping Guan, a physical oceanographer at the State Key Laboratory of Tropical Oceanography at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and his colleagues combined daily climate data from 1952 to 2011 to get a sense of the start and end of each season in the Northern hemisphere. Over the nearly 60-year period, they discovered that, on average, summers grew from 78 to 95 days, while winters shortened from 76 to 73 days. The spring and autumn seasons also shortened. Guan and his team used the findings from the data to create a model to hypothesize (假设) about how the seasons would possibly change in the future. They found that if left untouched, summers in the Northern hemisphere could last nearly six months, while winters could contract to less than two months.If the Earth’s seasons continue to shift, it will bring negative effects to human health and agriculture. Longer and hotter summers, for example, can cause mosquitoes and otherdisease-carrying insects to potentially expand their scope and land in places where they’re usually not found. “Because seasons influence the life cycles of plants and animals, climate change could disturb species’ ability to adapt,” said Scott Sheridan, a climate scientist. “If seasons continue to change, everything isn’t going to change perfectly as they should. If we take the example of flowers coming out of the ground, those flowers could come out, but bees aren’t there to pollinate them yet or they’re already past their peak.” With negative effects like these, human health and agriculture will face hardship while moving forward.This study further demonstrates how cruel climate change is to humans, plants and animals, reminding us how much we are all connected with the environment we share.12．What did scientists find according to the study?A．Some seasons will disappear in their tracks.B．Global warming will be at its worst in 2100.C．Climate change affects the days of summers.D．Human health remains unharmed by climate change.13．What does the underlined word "contract" in the second paragraph mean?A．Add.B．Extend.C．Keep.D．Shorten. 14．What can we infer about the effects of longer and hotter summers?A．Mosquitoes can survive in more places.B．The environment will change as we wish.C．Human health and agriculture are hardly affected.D．Some species are more able to adapt to the change.15．Which of the following is the best title for the text?A．Is the Earth getting warmer?B．Is climate change bringing hardship?C．Is mankind to blame for longer summers?D．Is summer taking over from all other seasons?How to make friends at a new schoolHave you entered a new school? 16 There are tons of different ways to connect with your classmates, as long as you’re willing to take a leap of faith. We’ve put together some tips andsuggestions to help you along the way.·Use social media to your advantage.Social media makes it easier to build connections with your schoolmates.

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.

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.

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?。

It covers an area larger thanEurope and holds a staggering amount of plant and animal species that are still being discovered to this day. For students embarking on their English journey in their first semester of Senior One in Zhengzhou, Henan Province, understanding the significance of this natural wonder is not just an academic exercise but a call to appreciate the delicate balance of nature. The rainforest is often referred to as the “lungs of the planet” due to its vital role in regulating the Earth’s climate through the absorption of carbon dioxide and the release of oxygen. This process, known as photosynthesis, sustains life on our planet. However, the Amazon is facing an unprecedented threat from deforestation, driven primarily by agricultural expansion, cattle ranching, and mining activities. Indigenous communities within the rainforest have lived in harmony with nature for centuries, relying on its resources for survival. Their traditional knowledge and practices are crucial for conservation efforts, as they offer insights into sustainable living that modern society can learn from.Reading Comprehension Section 2 - Question 4:Question: Why is the Amazon rainforest often referred to as the “lungs of the planet”?A. Because it covers an area larger than Europe.B. Because it is the most biodiverse region on Earth.C. Becau se it regulates the Earth’s climate through photosynthesis.D. Because it holds a staggering amount of plant and animal species.Answer: CExplanation: The passage states that the Amazon rainforest is often referred to as the “lungs of the planet” due to i ts vital role in regulating the Earth’s climate through the absorption of carbon dioxide and the release of oxygen, a process known as photosynthesis. This process sustains life on our planet, making it the reason for the nickname “lungs of the planet.”The other options, while true about the Amazon rainforest, do not explain why it is called the “lungs of the planet.”五、语言运用第一节完形填空（15分）Title: A Fresh Start in High SchoolStarting my first semester in Grade 10, English class felt like a whole new world.

2023-2024学年河南省郑州市郑州外国语学校高一上学期11月期中英语试题Kew Gardens is not only a popular tourist destination in London, but also a botanic garden and a research center that has the largest collection of living plants at a single site. So, let’s explore the Royal Botanic Gardens with CGTN’s reporter Robyn Dwyer.Palm HouseThe first stop is the Palm House, a giant indoor rainforest with a wide range of plants. Visitors can enjoy these exotic plants while researchers can study the secrets of these flora. Eatable plants such as cocoa tree and African oil palm are all preserved here to keep the diversity of food resources. At the same time, it houses many medical use plants, including some that are used to treat cancer.Temperate HouseKnown as the world’s largest Victorian glasshouse, the Temperate House is home to1,500 species of plants from temperate regions of the world. Some of the species kept here have gone extinct in the wild, such as Encephalartos woodii, a cycad from South Africa. And some are already extinct like Saint Helena olive, but the Kew has stored its DNA.Mediterranean GardenIn the Mediterranean Garden, one can see plants from the Southern Europe, such as rosemary, olives and cork oak. Walking in the garden, one can feel the non-indoor vibe (氛围) of the Mediterranean and learn about the economic as well as scientific uses of these plants.On International Day for Biological Diversity this year, join CGTN to travel around the world’s national parks and reserves across seven continents. Our next program is to visit penguins and seals in the Antarctic Ice Aquarium Norway. Please stay tuned!1. What do the three stops have in common?A．They store plants for medical use.B．They have plants of economic value.C．They house plants of seven continents.D．They own plants for scientific research.2. Which one suits a visitor preferring outdoor sites?A．Palm House. B．Temperate House.C．Antarctic Ice Aquarium. D．Mediterranean Garden.3. Where is the text most probably taken from?A．A botanic dictionary. B．A TV travel series.C．A trip advertisement. D．A biodiversity essay.This winter, the state of California in the US received unusually large amounts of rain and snow. Now, people worry that some areas will flood as the snow in the Sierra Nevada Mountains melts (融化).Ron Caetano lives about half-way between the cities of Los Angeles and San Francisco. He is preparing to leave in case his community, called the Island District, floods.More than 100 years ago, the Island District area was under Tulare Lake, a large lake. At one time, Tulare Lake was the largest freshwater lake west of the Mississippi River. But reservoirs (水库) and watering systems for agriculture caused it to disappear. However, in very rainy years, farmland can still get covered with water.Experts say reservoirs near the area will likely receive three times more water than they can hold this year. That means officials must increase the amount of water they release (释放) from the reservoirs. But if too much water is released, the area might flood.The Island District has organized a community network to help prepare for floods. People are placing sandbags close to elderly neighbors’ houses to stop possible flooding. And they are looking at reports from water officials, county officials, and from each other.California has had very dry weather in recent years. Therefore, both cities and farm communities acclaimed this year’s winter rains. If the weather gets warmer slowly, the snow will n ot melt quickly and there may be little or no flooding. But if the weather gets hot quickly, that will bring trouble from too much melting snow.Officials announced plans to close parts of Yosemite National Park because of possible danger of flooding. The park is about 270 kilometers east of San Francisco in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. Nicholas Pinter is with the University of California, Davis Center for Watershed Sciences. He said the lake’s size has always changed because of California’s weather. He des cribed the surrounding area this way. “It has been an engineering problem all along,” he said. “This is a bathtub (浴缸) with no way out.”4. What made Tulare Lake disappear?A．Lack of rainfall. B．Natural disasters. C．Climatewarming. D．Human behavior.5. W hat does the underlined word “acclaimed” in paragraph 6 mean?A．Feared. B．Doubted. C．Welcomed. D．Tracked.6. What might Californians want to see?A．The government can help them move to other states. B．The weather can get warm gradually in California.C．There is more rain in the cities than on farms. D．The officials release water on a regular basis.7. What can we infer from Nicholas Pinter’s words?A．It is difficult to deal with the flood. B．It is easy to keep the snow water.C．The surrounding area is unfit to live in. D．The lake is already overflowing. Languages like Italian or Finnish can be spelled more easily because each letter of the alphabet matches to one sound. Students studying these languages can have 90 percent reading accuracy after the first year. However, students even after years of learning English are still far below Italian or Finnish students in reading accuracy.English started as a Germanic language. It is most closely connected to German and Dutch, especially in grammar and basic vocabulary. During the Norman invasion (侵略) in the 12th century, Old English was spoken but French was used in government and legal documents. And Latin was used in religious and educational activities. As a result, more French and Latin words entered the English language. The printing press invented in the late 1400s helped to establish English spelling. The English of today is how the language was written at the time. However, the spoken language started to change in the 1500s with the pronunciation of all long vowels. For example, “bite” was pronounced closer to “beet” in 1400, before changing through the years to its current sound. The effect was that the English language had old spellings, but new sounds.English has 26 letters in the alphabet, but over 44 individual sounds depending on the variation of spoken English. There are several sounds represented by only one letter. For example, the letter “C” can sound like an “S” as in “city”. And it also sounds like a “K” as in “cat”.There are only 5 or 6 vowel (元音) letters in the English alphabet. They include A, E, I, O, U, and sometimes Y. But there are 20 different ways to sound them. At the centre is the most common vowel sound of “uhhh”. It is the most relaxed and natural sound. It takes almost no e ffort of the tongue or throat to create the sound. Since it takes little effort, the sound “uhhh” often makes its way into pronunciations. For example, the word “please” often turns into “PUH-lease” when someone is trying to call attention. This is another reason why spelling in English is so difficult!8. How does the author lead to the topic of this text?A．By comparison.B．By making a classification.C．By the calculation of an example.D．By describing a process.9. What is paragraph 2 mainly about?A．The complex history of English.B．The formation of modern English.C．The influence of English on other languages.D．Factors promoting the development of English.10. When did the current spelling of English come into being?A．In the 12th century. B．Before the Norman invasion.C．In the late 1400s. D．In the 1500s.11. Which can be a suitable title for the text?A．One Letter, Many SoundsB．So Many Ways to Sound a VowelC．Why Spelling in English Is So DifficultD．How to Improve the Accuracy of English SpellingWhen plates are set on the table, phones, rather than forks, are at the ready. At this point in our social media entanglement (纠缠), the fact that the camera eats first is pretty much a given. Sure, some chefs, including Michelin rated star chefs, express their displeasure at this, but efforts to make the table a screen-free domain have mostly fallen flat.New research from Aston University has found that people are indeed influenced by the food photos that their friends post on social media. For example, for every serving of fruits and vegetables that a person thinks their friends are eating, they’ll eat one-fifth of a serving more. This number makes more sense within the context of the recommended “five a day”, meaning someone who’s being influenced would make a point of eating six portions of fruits or vegetables. Similarly, for every three portions of junk food that a person sees friends consuming on social media, they’ll eat an extra one.The researchers have also suggested that social media can be very beneficial when it comes to people’s choices of food and their diets. Study supervisors Dr. Jason Thomas said, “The implication is that we can use social media as a tool to encourage each other’s eating choice within friendship groups, an d use this knowledge as a tool for public health interventions.”Actually, the daily food situation is somewhat different from everything else posted on social media. People also desire to copy what they see but they need good social media literacy skills in order to grasp what’s realistic and what’s absurd. It is necessary to avoid the fake perfection of social media. It gets boring trying to figure out what to eat three times a day, week after week, so no wonder people want to take the path of least resistance and eat what their friends are eating. Unfortunately, most of what gets posted is the more time-consuming recipes or the attractively styled restaurant meals. By all means, keep your antennae (触角) out for new ideas, but gather them from food magazines, cookbooks, store flyers, reliable cooking websites, and recommended recipes from friends and family.12. What phenomenon is talked about in Para.1?A．The influence of social media on people’s diet.B．People’s taking photos of food before eating.C．Chefs’ efforts to make the table screen-free.D．The pursuit of dining in fancy restaurant.13. What’s the consequence of people’s seeing their friends’ online post?A．They’ll copy what their friends do.B．They’ll take junk food more seriously.C．They’ll consume more than their friends.D．They’ll care more about their friends’ eating habits.14. What’s Dr. Jason Thomas’s attitude towards social media?A．Positive. B．Doubtful. C．Concerned. D．Unclear.15. What does the author intend to do in the last paragraph?A．Point out the unreality of social media.B．Call on people to enrich their knowledge in cooking.C．Introduce the general classification of food posted online.D．Encourage people to broaden their sources of food inspiration.First aid is a crucial aspect of healthcare that can significantly save someone’s life or prevent further injury or illness. Knowing when to use first aid is essential so that proper measures are taken promptly. 16Injuries and AccidentsOne of the most common instances where first aid is required is in injuries and accidents. 17 In such situations, it is essential to provide immediate care to prevent further damage and ensure that the affected individual receives timely medical attention. Some of the initial steps in first aid for injuries include applying pressure to stop bleeding, immobilizing the affected area, and administering pain relief medication.Cardiac Arrest (心脏停跳)Another critical situation where first aid can make a difference is during a cardiac arrest. A cardiac arrest occurs when the heart stops functioning; immediate intervention is necessary. 18 The first step in such a situation is to call emergency services and start cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) until professional help arrives.

河南省郑州市106中学2024-2025学年高一英语上学期期中试题其次部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节 (共10小题;每小题2分,满分30分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和 D )中,选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

AWill it matter if you don't take your breakfast? A short time ago, a test was given in the United States. People of different ages, from 12 to 83, were asked to have a test. During the test, these people were given all kinds of breakfasts, and sometimes they got no breakfast at all. Scientists wanted to see how welltheir bodies worked when they had eaten different kinds of breakfasts.The results show that if a person eats a right breakfast, he or she will work better than if he or she has no breakfast. If a student has fruit, eggs, bread and milk before going to school, he will learn more quickly and listen more carefully in class.The result is opposite to what some people think. Having no breakfast will not help you lose weight. This is because they are so hungry at noon they eat too much for lunch. They will gain weight instead of losing it. You will lose more weight if you reduce your other meals.21. During the test, the people were given_____________.A. no breakfast at allB. different foods or sometimes noneC. very rich breakfastsD. little food for breakfast22. The results show that __________________A. breakfast has great effect on work and studies.B. breakfast has little to do with a person's work.C. a person will work better if he only has fruit and milk.D. Girl students should have little for breakfast23. Which of the following is NOT right?A. It is bad for your health to have no breakfastB. Too little for breakfast and too much for lunch may make you fatter.C. If you don't eat much for lunch and supper, you may lose weight.D. The more breakfast you have, the more quickly you'll learn in class.BA new book called “Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother” by Amy Chua has caused a debate (争辩) about cultural differences in parenting. Amy Chua is a teacher in an American university and both of her parents are Chinese. In the book, Ms. Chua writes about how she taught her daughters. She told NBC television that she had a clear list of what her daughters were not allowed to do, such as having a play date, watching TV or playing computer games and getting any grade less than an A.Many people are against Amy Chua’s parenting style (风格), even her husband, who is American. They say it is rude and unfair to children. But she says her parents raised her and her three sisters in that way.Ms. Chua says after her younger daughter shouted “I hate my life! I hate you!” she decided to retreat because she was afraid of losing her daughter. But she alsosays American parents often have low expectations of their children’s abilities.“The debate is about what it means to be a successful parent and what it means to be a successful child,” said Stacy DeBroff, who has written four books on parenting. She says Amy Chua’s parenting style is not limited to Chinese families. It is a tradi-tional way of parenting among immigrants (移民). They hope to get a better future for their children.She also sees a risk (风险). When children have no time to be social or to develop their own interests, they might not develop other skills that they need to succeed in life. DeBroff advises parents to develop their own style of parenting and not just repeat the way they were raised.24. What do we learn about Amy Chua?A. She has three excellent daughters.B. She moved to the US at a young age.C. Her parents live together with her.D. Her husband dislikes her parenting style.25. The underlined word “retreat” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to _____.A. go onB. give upC. go outD. give out26. According to Ms. DeBroff, _____.A. Amy Chua’s parenting style should be forbiddenB. Americans should learn from Amy ChuaC. parents should have their own parenting styleD. Amy Chua’s style is bad for children’s growth27.In which part of a newspaper can you read the passage?A . Business.B . Entertainment.C . Sports.D . Culture.CThere were smiling children all the way. Clearly they knew at what time the train passed their homes and they made it their business to stand along the railway, wave to complete strangers and cheer them up as they rushed towards Penang. Often whole families stood outside their homes and waved and smiled as if those on the trains were their favorite relatives. This is the simple village people of Malaysia.I was moved.I had always traveled to Malaysia by plane or car, so this was the first time I was on a train.I did not particularly(特殊) relish the long train journey and had brought along a dozen magazines to read and reread. I looked about the train. There was not one familiar(熟识的)face. I sighed and sat down to read my EconomicsIt was not long before the train was across the Causeway and in Malaysia. Johore Baru was just another city like Singapore, so I was tired of looking at the crowds of people as they hurried past. As we went beyond the city, I watched the straight rows of rubber trees and miles and miles of green. Then the first village came into sight. Immediately I came alive, I decided to wave back.From then on my journey became imeresting.I threw my magazines into the waste basket and decided to join in Malaysian life.Then everything came alive.The mountains seemed to speak to me.Even the trees were smiling.I stared t everything as if I was looking at it for the first time.The day passed fast and I even forgot to have my lunch until I felt hungry. I looked at my watch and was surprised that it was 3:00 pm. Soon the train pulled up at Butterworth. I looked at the people all around me.They all looked beautiful. When my uncle arrive with a smile, I threw my around him to give him a warm hug.I had never done this before. He seemed surprised and then his weather-beaten face warmed up with a huge smile. We walked arm in arm to his car.I looked forward to the return journey.28.Why did the author mention the families standing outside their homes?A. To show the real life of village people.B. To show the friendliness of village peopleC.To show how village people found pleasureD. To show how village people warmed their relatives29.What does the underlined word“relish”mean in the second paragraph?A. chooseB. enjoyC. prepare forD. carry on30.How did the author probably feel after the train went beyond Johor Bahru?A. ExcitedB. UnsatisfiedC. DisappointedD. Bored31.What’s the best title of the text?A. My exciting journey to MalaysiaB. Scenery adding pleasure to my train tripC. My unforgettable train trip in ButterworthD. Waves and smiles cheering up my train tripDForeign visitors to the UK might be disappointed when they learn that not everyone there speaks like Harry Potter and his friends. Usually, there's an assumption(假设) by many non-Brits that everyone in Britain speaks with what's known as a Received Pronunciation (RP, 标准发音) accent, also called “the Queen's English”. However, while many people do talk this way, most Britons speak in their own regional accents.Scouse, Glaswegian and Black Country dialect– from Liverpool, Glasgow and the West Midlands –are just three of the countless non-RP accents that British people speak with. There are even differences in accents between towns or cities just 30 kilometers apart. What is even more disappointing is that not speaking in a RP accent may mean a British person is judged and even treated differently in their everyday life.In a study by The University of South Wales, videos of people reading a passage in three different UK accents were shown to a second group of people. The group then rated (对…作评估)how intelligent they thought the readers sounded. The lowest-rated accent was Brummie, native to people from Birmingham, a city whose accent is considered working class.However, there is no need to be disappointed though you are not speaking in an RP accent. In fact, doing the opposite may even give you strength.Kong Seong-jae, 25, is from Seoul. After studying in the UK, he picked up several regional accents. He's now famous for his online videos, where he shows off the various accents he's learned. “British people usually get really excited whenI use some of their local dialect words, and they become much friendlier. I thinkit makes a bit of bond between local people and foreigners to speak in their local accent,” he said.So if you're working on perfecting your British accent, try to speak like someone from Liverpool, Glasgow or Birmingham. You may not sound like Harry Potter, but you are likely to make more friends.32.What can we learn from paragraph 1?A . Most Britons speak the Queen’s English.B . Non-Brits usually hold that all Britons speak in a RP accent.C . Foreign visitors are disappointed at their own spoken English.D . The dialect is less important than the RP accent.33.What do people think of the Brummie accent?A . It is closest to the RP accent.B . It belongs to the people of the working classC . It is smart and easy to understandD.It is preferred by foreign visitors to the UK.34.What does the underlined phrase “doing the opposite” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A . Speaking with regional accents.B . Speaking with the RP accent.C . Speaking with the Brummie accent.D . Speaking like Harry Potter.35.What is the passage mainly about?A . How much British people value the RP accent.B . A comparison between different British accents.C . A study about the most intelligent accent in BritainD .Some facts about the RP accent and regional accents in Britain .阅读其次节（共5小题:每小题2分, 满分10分）依据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

河南省郑州市2019-2020学年高一下学期期末考试语文试题Word版含答案2019-2020学年下期期末考试高一语文试题卷本试卷分试题卷和答题卡两部分。

考试时间150分钟，满分150分考生应首先阅读答题卡上的文字信息，然后在答题卡上作答。

在试题卷上作答无效。

一、现代文阅读（一）论述类文本阅读（本题共3小题）阅读下面的文字，完成1—3题。

人类善待野生动物的理念和实践在我国有着漫长的历史，到了宋代又有了新的表现和探索，这较好地体现在诗和词这两种当时最为流行的艺术形式之中。

在宋代诗词中，一方面有围绕人类善待野生动物的方式方法进行的细致描写，另一方面还贯穿着一些具有强烈人文意识的独到理念。

宋代诗词细致描写了对待野生动物的各种场景和操作环节。

其中以和善仁爱的方式对待野生动物的活动也有不少记载，由于场合和条件不同，我们可以从三个方面把握。

一是在日常生活之中尽量以善心XXX对待野生动物。

XXX的《放鱼》说：“捉鱼浅水中，投置最深处。

当暑脱煎熬，翛然泳而去。

岂无良庖者，可使供七箸。

物我皆畏苦，舍之宁啖茹。

”这是XXX所记自己救鱼食素的一次生活经历。

XXX 《次韵定慧钦长老见寄八首》说：“钩帘归乳燕，穴纸出痴蝇。

为鼠常留饭，怜蛾不点灯。

”这都是日常生活中人们经常能碰到的事，举手之劳可以为动物放一条生路。

虽然XXX的说法有一定宗教背景，但对普通人也有启示意义。

二是尽可能人性地看待捕捉的野生动物。

人类在和野生动物的“交往”中肯定会捉取大量野生动物。

除大部分被杀掉之外，人类还有较为“友善”地看待它们的方式办法。

宋代有大量的放糊口动，这在诗词中有很多描写。

XXX《驯鹿》讲到本人想放掉一只被网捉住的鹿，“XXX动XXX，吾欲纵尔山之傍”“饮泉啮草当远去，山后山前射生户”，他不仅但愿这头驯鹿回到适宜本人生存的山野之中，而且奉劝它避开猎户。

不过，当时墨客们关于放出产生了意见分歧。

XXX《长命洲》写道：“狐狸口腹应潜饱，就死多于日放生。

In my view, keeping up with teachers is a good way.Teachers are experienced and their plans are effective. But remember to work in a way that suits you. It’s important to learn from past mistakes as well. Keep a notebook to make a record of the mistakes you make - It’ll help you avoid making the same ones later.The school life may be hard, but you’re not alone. You may be busy studying, but you can show your care by calling your friends or sending short messages. Don’t let your friendships die.It’s as important to live well as it is to study well. Going to bed no later than 11: 30 pm is important. It puts you in the right state for the next day. You needn’t follow a special diet, but make sure you are eating healthy meals each day.The person who plays well studies well. Having a lot of schoolwork doesn’t mean having to quit other activities. Playing basketball or having a talk with your classmates can relax yourself. Time out is not a waste of time but helps you study more efficiently.Besides taking the College Entrance Examination, you have other choices for college. Some students even apply for studying abroad. Pay attention to the useful information you can find, whether it’s from school, the news media or othersources.4．What should you do if you want to keep your friendship fresh?A．Have small talks with them.B．Always have lunch with them.C．Make them at some distance.D．Keep connected by some means. 5．The third paragraph is mainly about?A．Health B．study C．Relaxation D．friendship 6．What does the underlined phrase Time out in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A．An activity without a break.B．Sleeping outdoors.C．A break from studying.D．Studying outside.7．Who is the passage mainly written for?A．Teachers.B．Students.C．Parents.D．Leaders.A quick walk onto a frozen pond (池塘) could have been a disaster for these two boys.Cruz Genet, 11, and Anthony Skopick, 10, couldn’t agree more. Were the birds out on the ice ducks or geese? There was only one way to find out. So on a cold January evening last year, the two friends walked onto the frozen pond near their homes to get a better look.First, they threw a rock onto the ice to test it. Believing the ice would hold their weight, Anthony took a few steps, and then he crashed through the seemingly frozen surface. “Therewas no sound and no crack”, he told the reporter. “I just fell through immediately.”Cruz rushed to help his frightened friend. And he fell in the pond, too. Cruz managed to lift himself out of the water and onto a harder part. He then carefully worked his way toward Anthony, but he fell in the pond again. This time, he couldn’t get out.The two boys were in icy cold water and quickly losing feeling in their limbs(四肢). Cruz was sure that he was going to die.Anthony’s older sister had seen the boys fall through the ice and started shouting for help. John Lavin, a neighbor driving nearby on his way to the store, heard her. He quickly pulled over. Seeing the boys, he took a nearby buoy (浮标)，kicked off his shoes, and ran into the water. Lavin made his way to Cruz and Anthony and drew them back to land. They were taken to hospital, where doctors discovered that their five-minute stay in the water had lowered their body temperature nearly ten degrees.Luckily, the boys have fully recovered, though they are still a little awestruck(敬畏的) by their fearless neighbor. “Just to think,” says Cruz, “if he hadn’t been there, I could have died.”8．Why did the boys go to the frozen pond?A．They had planned to go skating on the ice for a medal.B．They wondered whether the ice could hold their weight.C．They wanted to have a better understanding at the pond.D．They were curious about what birds there were on the ice.A．they threw a rock to test if the ice was strong enoughB．they caught a nearby buoy and kicked off their shoesC．they asked their neighbor who should be the first to goD．they asked Anthony’s older sister to protect them nearby10．What did Cruz do when Anthony fell into the pond?A．He went to find a buoy nearby.B．He went to his neighbor for help.C．He rushed in to help his friend.D．He went to ask for his sister’s help. 11．What can we infer from this passage?A．A stranger passing by rescued the two boys at last.B．The two boys were very thankful to their neighbor.C．Cruz fell into the pond with Anthony at the same time.D．Anthony’s older sister invited the two boys to the pond.As climate change quickly advances, many Middle Eastern countries aremaking the change from oil-based economies to ones that attract people fromaround the world--for travelling, business, work or to live.One such example is NEOM to be built in Saudi Arabia. A key part of NEOM is “The Line”, a $725 billion futuristic city designed to house 9 millionpeople. It is a mirrored (镜子) wall-like building 200 meters wide and 500 meterstall. To be built in north-western Tabuk province, the project will spread 170 kilometres from the Red Sea across deserts, mountains and valleys.At first look, the project appears environmentally impressive. The city area isno more than 100 metres from any point in the city. A high-speed electric publictransport service makes sure every part of“The Line” is within 20 minutes away. Unluckily, as in many high-rise buildings with a large population inside, a vertical (垂直的) transportation would be needed, for it is just like a 125-floor building.The project costs also seem OK at $55,000 per person. Let’s say this isachievable in a country like Saudi Arabia and only covers infrastructure (基础设施). Even so, it remains to be seen how super-high-speed transport and mostadvanced infrastructure and services within the hugest building ever built can becost-effective.The Line is planned for green living. Energy comes from renewable sources,waste water is reused, and it owns the latest “smart city” and mixed-use buildingtechnologies. Car ownership is avoided in favour of walking, cycling and publictransport.However, the materials to be used and the building of such a big projectcould be very harmful to the environment. The plan says no one would be morethan two minutes from nature. But does this include the waiting times for a liftWithout careful design, a high dependence on vertical transportation may ruin thepleasure of walkable or bicycle-friendly areas.12．Why will “The Line” be built in Saudi ArabiaA．To take a step towards green economies.B．To attract more tourists from all over the world.C．To house the increasing population in Saudi Arabia.D．To make preparations for a project known as NEOM.13．How does the author introduce “The Line” in paragraph 2?A．By showing an example.B．By designing drawings.C．By making a comparison.D．By supplying numbers.14．What do we know about “The Line”?A．It will surely cost S725 million to build.B．It will be wholly environmentallyfriendly.C．It will require a vertical transportation.D．It will be a 125-floor building for certain. 15．What does the author think of “The Line”?A．Unclear.B．Doubtful.C．Indifferent.D．Hopeful.二、七选五How to Make Friends at a New SchoolStarting your new school life can be difficult. Everything seems hard, and you don’t even know where to go for your own classes. Making new friends can be hard too. 1617 A smile goes a long way. When walking in the halls, don’t keep your eyes on the floor. If you see someone, give them a smile or say hi. They will smile and introduce themselves to you too.Remember people’s names. 18 . You can say something like, ”I remember you said something very interesting yesterday and wanted to talk about it some more, but I’m new here and don’t remember your name yet. Would you mind telling me again?“19 . A new school and a new group of classmates offer more chances to explore some new interests. Try to be a member of a sports team or a part of a school play. There you can meet people who share your interests and are looking forward to making new friends too.Show your opinion. 20 Speak up. Share your unique ideas in the new school. Your new schoolmates will remember you immediately. They are more likely to talk with you and know you better. Then you will be able to make new friends.A．Join some clubs and activities.B．Be active to start a conversation.C．If not, don’t be afraid to ask them more than once.D．Try to develop your skills as a leader in the new school.E．Do you want to help the old or protect the environment?F．This is a great help to you to have your first talk with others.G．Here are some suggestions on how to make friends at a new school.三、完形填空Several years ago, a little boy named Robert studied and lived in a boarding (寄宿)daylight and lay on his bed again, so no one knew that he went out at night.One night, Robert found 22 asleep.
