AMildred Webinga Freeman was an English teacher at the new middle school I attended in the ninth grade. She wasn't my teacher. She was the adviser to the safety patrol (巡查) on which I served. I loved being around her and enjoyed her sense of humor and kind personality. She was also a good listener.At the end of the year, she announced that she was moving to Florida, and I was very shocked and sad. We exchanged addresses and became pen pals. I could tell her anything, and she treated me with respect even though I was a teenager.In Florida, Mrs. Freeman became a businesswoman. But she managed to find time to write letters and amusing stories and always took my concerns seriously. She had given me an open invitation to visit, and I missed her so much. When I wrote to take her up on the offer, she answered, “Get your shoes on and your bags packed! Y ou are welcome anytime!”I spent three weeks with her in Miami, thrilled to do anything from washing dishes to touring houses with her. Her love of poetry, music, and creative writing encouraged me. One day while hanging sheets on the clothesline, she looked up and said，“You know，the sky is fuel for the soul.”I have never looked at the clouds since without hearing those words. Two years later when I visited her house I had hoped to talk to her about school, but instead she was in a hospital bed in the guest room. She had cancer on the liver, and her family members were caring for her. I was in shock.To this day, more than 50 years later, I still see her smile and think about the advice she gave me. Now and then I reread her letters, and I remember the importance of her smile and her friendship.1. Which of following can best describe Mrs. Freeman?A. Humorous and kind-hearted.B. Respectful and amusing.C. Serious but patient.D. Creative but funny.2. Mrs. Freeman was the author’s ?A. English teacherB. class adviserC. safety guardD. pen pal3. How long did the author spend with Mrs. Freeman In Miami?A. One day.B. Three weeks.C. One year.D. Nine years.4. Why did the author feel shocked when she visited Mrs. Freeman two years later?A. She had a liver cancer.B. She was doing housework.C. She showed little interest in school.D. She was not looked after by her family members.5. What can we know about the author?A. She wrote stories for Mrs. Freeman.B. She often visited Mrs. Freeman in Florida.C. She once went mountain-climbing with Mrs. Freeman.D. She kept Mrs. Freeman’s letters for more than 50 years.BWhen I was two years old，I was diagnosed(诊断) with hearing loss. My mother cried when she found out---she wanted her son to be happy and able to experience everything life had to offer. I went to a special playgroup twice a week where a nursediscovered I had taught myself to read. At the age of five I attended a school for the deaf from age three to six.I remember looking around the room there. People talked and signed to each other.I had a best friend and I did very well in class. But I told my mother that I wanted to go to the regular school with hearing people, because I felt more like a hearing person than a hearing-impaired (听力受损) one. I didn’t even use sign language! I lip-read and listened with my hearing aids. After visiting a public school for a day, my mother agreed to let me go. Without doubt, I have functioned very well.Many people don't even know I am hearing-impaired until they see my hearing aids. My girlfriend often forgets that I have any problem, and I feel fortunate that she does not look down upon people like me. The only problem I have with this hearing loss is that some people discriminate (歧视) against me. The fact is that I am just as normal as anyone else. The only differences are that others need to speak up, and I have some help from my hearing aids.The next time you see hearing-impaired people, don't feel sorry for them--that just gives them an excuse to mistreat themselves and hurt their own advantages. Instead, encourage them and tell them that a disability only hurts a person if he or she lets it.6. Which is TRUE about the author when he was 5?A. He was diagnosed with hearing loss.B. He stayed at home with his mother.C. He attended a school for the deaf.D. He went to a special playgroup.7. Why did the author want to attend the regular school?A. He even didn't know sign language.B. He had few friends at the deaf school.C. He didn't believe his handicap was a big problem.D. He found it very hard to get along with his classmates.8. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “functioned” in Para.2 ?A. performedB. translatedC. challengedD. remembered9. What was the author's problem at the regular school?A. He couldn’t catch up with others.B. Some people looked down upon him.C. His girlfriend discriminated against him.D. He performed poorly with hearing aids.10. What can we infer from the last sentence?A. A disabled person should be well treated.B. If a person is disabled, he will hurt himself.C. A normal person shouldn't hurt the disabled.D. The disabled should regard themselves as normal.CBefore returning home to the US this summer, people warned me I might experience culture shock the other way round. I didn‘t have any terrible experiences. But they were right! After living in China for a year there were things about home that surprised me.---I found myself always talking louder than I should have. I guess I’ve gotten used to shouting over the dozens of people that surround me at any given moment in China.People were also quieting me in public places.---I forgot that other people could speak English. I know it’s a terrible habit. But I really did develop the practice of talking about whatever I wanted with myEnglish-speaking friends. After all, most of the people walking by can't understand you, right? Unfortunately in America, if you say something like, "Whoa, look at that guy’s hair”, chances are he will surely understand what you’re saying.---I felt embarrassed at the price of my phone bill. Really，America? Why does phone service cost so much? I got used to China’s “pay as you go (随用随付)” prices.---I hated the absence of public transportation. This one really did kill me. I LOVE China's public transportation system. I could live here for 10 years and never buy a car and still get everywhere I needed to go. This summer I kept having to ask people for rides. It was terribly annoying.Finally, the biggest shock came when I started watching a bit of TV. As I watched American celebrities (名人), I was so embarrassed that these celebrities are the way that Americans are shown to the rest of the world! From what they were wearing (or not wearing) to what they were saying, they were completely out of control.---Kelli11. What did people warn Kelli of?A. Terrible experiences in US.B. The confusion of right and left.C. Very poor living conditions in China.D. Disagreement with the new environment.12. What can we know about Kelli?A. She bought a car in US.B. She lived in China for 10 years.C. She formed the habit of speaking loudly.D. She spoke Chinese after he returned to US.13. Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?A. Most people understand English in China.B. Most American people understand Chinese.C. Phone users pay more in China than in US.D. China has better public transportation than US.14. How did Kelli find American celebrities?A. ShamefulB. Funny.C. HumorousD. Popular.15. What section of a magazine does this text probably come from?A. China Today.B. Culture Awareness.C. Public Transport.D. American Celebrities.二．完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后面各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

In high school, you have 4 minutes to get to your next class. My high school is very big and those 4 minutes to go from one class to another really isn’t a lot of time. Today I had to go from one end of the building to the other to get from science class to math class. I wanted to go to my locker first and leave my science book there, but that took time. I was worried about being late, and I was. The math teacher said, “Just be on time tomorrow, or you’ll have detention (放学后留校).”After math, I went to art class. I like my art class a lot because I get to create things. The teacher there showed us how to make portraits (肖像). He explained, “A portrait is a way of communicating with a person. It does not just show how the person looks but what is important to understand the person.” We just did drawings today, but I know it’s going to be great. I like drawing.I like my English class, too. I think the teacher is really supportive. Today we wrote about ourselves. The teacher said to just write what you think, and we’ll pay attention to punctuation (标点) later. We could write a paragraph or a poem, and I wrote a poem about myself. I thought it was a good poem, and the teacher said I had used good images (意象) to communicate my feelings.Lunch was very hurried. I arrived at the dining room with 12 minutes to eat. I sat with people I didn’t know, and everyone was eating quickly. After lunch I signed up for a computer club. I need to learn how to use a computer well because my social studies teacher says it is the one skill you need in every class.4．What happened to the author after science class?A．He lost his science textbook.B．He got lost on the campus.C．He was late for math class.D．He was given detention.5．What did the author think of his art class?A．Difficult.B．Enjoyable.C．Boring.D．Easy.6．What did the English teacher do after seeing the author’s work?A．He praised the author.B．He pointed out the author’s mistake.C．He asked the author to check punctuation.D．He encouraged the author to introduce himself.7．Which can be the best title for the text?A．Learn useful skills in high schoolB．My new teachers in high schoolC．Make plans for high school lifeD．My first day in high schoolThe introduction of the iPad, with its touch screen technology, has allowed even very young children to take advantage of a computer. So what if all children in a school were given an iPad to use in class and take home with them?Anne Laure Bazin works in a school where every child, teacher and teaching assistant is given a free iPad to use in and out of lessons. For her, the main advantage of everyone having an iPad has been the improvement in communication. Documents (文件) can be emailed straight over to co-workers during a meeting. Children can submit their homework by email, or through other terminals used on their iPads instead of giving it straight to the teachers. Teachers now take the register using their iPad, which means that there is a centralized record of which children are in school, and which classroom they are in.The use of iPads has encouraged greater sharing of resources among teachers. All communication with parents is now done by email. Working as a group in class is much easier aschildren can share documents. The whole class can look at one child’s work by attaching the iPad to the whiteboard. If a child has forgotten the textbook, the teacher can take a photograph of the relevant (相关的) page and send it to the student in class.While the use of the iPad in schools has revolutionized (变革) the way children are taught, it hasn’t completely replaced more traditional methods of teaching. Worksheets are still used in class as some children prefer the contact with paper. The children all have a textbook and exercise books. In Anne Laure’s school, parents feared that the iPads would replace exercise books and children would lose handwriting skills. Anne Laure says, “The teachers are not ready to let go of the traditional style of teaching. We have welcomed the iPads in so much as they help communication and widen the resources available (可得到的) but we are not ready to let go of paper yet. The children themselves still value their exercise books and depend on them for revision. ”8．What does the underlined word “submit” in the second paragraph mean?A．Clean up.B．Concentrate on.C．Write down.D．Hand in.9．What is an advantage of using iPads in the classroom?A．It saves students bringing the textbooks.B．It reduces parents’ worry about teaching.C．It improves the relationship between teachers.D．It makes sharing information convenient.10．What is parents’ attitude towards the use of iPads in the classroom in Annie’s school?A．Worried.B．Uncaring.C．Annoyed.D．Supportive. 11．What is the main idea of the last paragraph?A．Teachers prefer traditional methods of teaching.B．The iPads won’t take the place of printed materials.C．More and more schools are using iPads.D．Exercise books are more valuable now.Teenagers who spend more time on after-school activities and less than two hours of screen time after school are more mentally healthy, according to a study published in the journal Preventive Medicine. The new study was carried out by researchers from the University of BritishColumbia.The study used information collected from more than 28,000 seventh-grade Canadian students between 2014 and 2018. The students first answered questions about their usage of screen time (屏幕设备使用时间) after school, including how much time they spent swiping their mobile phone, watching TV, Netflix, or something else. Then, students reported how many days they had taken part in after-school activities such as sports or arts programs. After that, researchers asked students to describe their state of mind. For example, when given a statement such as “I start most days thinking that I will have a good day”, they could choose to what level they agreed with it on a scale (等级).Some of the results were expected, researchers said in the study. Students with no after-school activities usually had high levels of screen time, for example. And they expected girls would score higher on negative indicators (消极指标) of mental health, as earlier research had found that they tended to have higher levels of anxiety (焦虑) compared to boys.What was noteworthy, researchers say, is that even among students who took part in after-school activities, 46% still went beyond the recommended screen time of two hours. At the same time, 67% of students who didn’t take part in after-school activities also had more than two hours of screen time. Together, this suggests high screen time among teenagers generally.“The findings suggest that after-school activities are valuable for the happy growing of teenagers,” the study said. “While past studies have proved the importance of after-school activities for social and academic (学业的) development, the present study shows their importance for good mental health results.”12．What were the students asked to do after they reported time spent on after-school activities?A．Talk about their lifestyles.B．Introduce their after-school activities.C．Report their mental states on a scale.D．Answer questions about screen time use. 13．What do the researchers find about teenage girls?A．They often have higher levels of satisfaction.B．They take more active part inafter-school activities.C．They have lower levels of anxiety .D．Too much screen time may be more harmful to them.14．What does the author want to show by using the numbers in paragraph 4?A．Earlier findings about screen time are wrong.B．High screen time is common among teenagers.C．No after-school activities mean no screen time.D．Screens attract teenagers more than after-school activities do.15．Why are after-school activities so important according to the new study?A．They help to improve teenagers’ mental health.B．They are good for teenagers’physical health.C．They encourage teenagers’ social development.D．They allow teenagers to become better learners.Schools consume a large amount of energy, which has a bad effect on the environment.16 , there are lots of ways that you can help your school save energy. Look for simple changes your school can make and band together with others to make an even bigger effect.17 Even something as simple as turning offthe lights when you leave a room can help to save energy. Turn off the lights in classrooms that are not being used and in other areas,such as empty bathrooms and unoccupied multi-purpose rooms.Use natural light when the sun is bright. It may not always be necessary for you to have the lights on in your classroom. There may be times of day when the sun is especially bright andenough for what you are doing in your classroom.18 .Set up a recycling station at your schooL Recycling is a great way to save energy because it reduces the need to produce new materials. 19 , then ask your school principal if you can set one up.Get others involved.20 . Either as an individual or as a team, you can create and put up signs around your school. Try using signs that remind people of things they can do to save energy and also some signs that raise awareness of saving energy.A．Postsigns about conserving energy.B．Whether you are a teacher or a student.C．Ifyour school does not have one.D．Turn offyour computer when it's not used.E．Shut down the lights when rooms are not in use.F．Other times of day you might only need half ofthe lights.G．If your school's garbage company offers recycling services二、完形填空“I don’t want to go, Miss White.

Here was a woman who had raised 6 children and who had made great progress in her career telling me that she was not too old to learn something new. I told her that I always believed people were never too old to learn.Mary followed my advice and did learn how to use the computer. Now, she is retired and leading a very active life volunteering in her community(社区), using her computer skills and helping anyone that needs help.When she was in her sixties, one day she called me and said she had played the piano for others all her life, and now she was going to make a CD of her own. My mind flashed back to the day when she told me she was too old to learn. You can imagine my surprise and delight.To produce the CD, she had a lot of things to learn. It was not just sitting at the piano and playing. She had to research the songs, learn about copyright(版权), and learn about marketing. It was pretty amazing for someone who once said she was too old to learn. And finally she made it. Now she has her own CD-Mixed Blessings. Most of you probably have heard about some people who have gone back to university in their seventies and have also graduated. They are on their way again to charging themselves with a new skill and a new attitude towards life. The point is you are unable to learn anything at any age if you believe you are too old. On the contrary, you can achieve anything at any age if you believe you can.5.

Some people succeed for a reasonCMy wife and I went to this vegan(严格的素食主义的)restaurant to give it a try.As we were eating our pepper and salt tofu, a young lady named Debra walked in. She wasn’t aware that the place is vegan and was looking for some meat. My wife and I talked up the place and invited her over to try some of our tofu. Debra tried it, nodded and went out.After a few minutes, she and her mother both walked back in. We were having the rest of our meal at that time, so we told her what we had ordered. Debra then asked the waitress to just repeat our order for them. Next, Debra said, "And we want to pay for their meal", pointing to my wife and me. We tried to say no, but Debra wouldn’t listen.That was not the end of it. Hugs were in order. Debra came over to our table and my wife got up to hug her. Debra hugged my wife and put $100 into her hand. My wife firmly said NO, but Debra insisted. Debra kept talking about our kindness, and we did the same about hers and her mother’s. With tears in the eyes, the workers were blown away by this whole exchange between four strangers. I left the waiters a tip that would cover all of our meals and we were on our way.I’ve been witnessing so much kindness, especially over the last few years, as I began to pay more attention. We now have a new favorite restaurant and every time we go there my plan is to pay for someone else’s meal.9. Why did Debra go out after trying some tofu?A. To bring her mother in.B.

They once worked together.DAre you sometimes a little tired and sleepy in the early afternoon? Many people feel this way after lunch. They may think that eating lunch is the cause of the sleepiness. Or, in summer, they may think it is the heat. However, the real reason lies inside their bodies. At that time – about eight hours after you wake up – your body temperature goes down. This is what makes you slow down and feel sleepy. Scientists have tested sleep habits in experiments where there was no night or day. The people in these experiments almost always followed a similar sleeping pattern. They slept for one long period and then for one short period about eight hours later. In many parts of the world, people take naps in the middle of the day. This is especially true in warmer climates where the heat makes work difficult in the early afternoon. Researchers are now saying that naps are good for everyone in any climate. A daily nap gives one a more rested body and mind and therefore is good for health in general. In countries where naps are traditional, people often suffer less from problem such as heart disease.Many working people, unfortunately, have no time to take naps. Though doctors may advise taking naps, employers do not allow it! If you do have the chance, however, here are a few tips about making the most of your nap. Remember that the best time to take a nap is about eight hours after you get up. A short sleep too late in the day may only make you feel more tired and sleepy afterward. This can also happen if you sleep for too long. If you do not have enough time, try a short nap –even ten minutes of sleep can be helpful.13.Why do people feel sleepy in the early afternoon according to the text？A．They eat too much for lunch.B．They sleep too little at night.C．Their body temperature becomes lower.D．The weather becomes a lot warmer.14.If you get up at 6:30 am, what is the best time for you to take a nap？A．About 12:30 pm. B．About 1:30 pm.C．About 2:30 pm. D．About 3:30 pm.15.Why do employers not allow workers to take naps？A．taking naps is no good for health.B．taking naps may lead to heart attack.C．taking naps may lead to low working efficiency.D．taking naps takes up the working time and reduces production.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分, 满分12.5分）根据短文内容从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

2024-2025学年甘肃省庆阳第一中学高一上学期期中英语试卷Various sports attract fans for different reasons: Spectator sports draw even more fans who just love to watch. Here are some of the most beloved sports worldwide.Hockey-2 billion fansHockey, both on ice and on a field, wins a following of two billion enthusiastic fans worldwide. Field hockey is mainly played in Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia, while ice hockey is particularly popular in Canada and the US, where kids grow up playing pond hockey. Unlike ice hockey, field hockey usually does not involve body contact in the form of checking and hitting.Football-4 billion fansFootball, better known as soccer in the US, is by far the most popular sport in the world. Experts estimate that the origin (起源) of football may go as far back as two thousand years, beginning in ancient China during the Han Dynasty. One major reason for football’s global popularity is that unlike other sports that require expensive equipment, all you need to play football is a ball and your feet.Volleyball-900 million fansVolleyball pits two teams across a high net, each attempting to smash the ball onto the opponent’s floor. A popular variant, beach volleyball, is competed on sand by pairs rather than the regular six players per team. The crowd appeal of beach volleyball has grown greatly in recent years.Tennis-1 billion fansAn estimated one billion people worldwide follow professional tennis tournaments and matches. In tennis, players on both sides of a net try to hit a ball with a racket so that it either goes past their opponent (对手) or bounces twice on their opponent’s side of the court to score points. Tennis superstars like Rafael Nadal, and Serena Williams are now household names around the world, with huge international fan bases.1. Which sport attracts the most fans according to the text?A．Volleyball. B．Hockey. C．Football. D．Tennis.2. What makes football popular all over the world?A．Its long history. B．Its great convenience.C．Its unique origin. D．Its huge fan bases.3. Which statement about the four sports is true?A．Playing ice hockey involves body contact.B．Soccer is American people's favorite sport.C．Beach volleyball has attracted the most sports fans recently.D．A tennis player loses one point if his ball goes past his opponent.Math had never been something I was good at since middle school. Classes became harder in high school, and I was even further from a math teacher’s dream student. So at the start of my freshman year, I really loathed math. It wasn’t that I didn’t want to do well, but simply that I didn’t think I was able to do well. “I can’t” became my state of mind in all things about math.However, I was soon to learn that “I can’t” was not a choice in Mr. A’s class.Mr. A always greeted us with open arms as he said, “Welcome! Smile! It’s a great day to be alive!” It was clear that Mr. A had a true passion (热情) not only for math but for teaching. If Mr. A ever experienced bad days in life, he never showed it. Mr. A greeted us with that same smile every day. He encouraged each student, from the top achiever to the “T can’t” student.I found myself looking forward to math class, although I still hated the subject itself. Being in Mr. A’s presence made me feel good, as if I had the chance to succeed. As the year progressed, I spent increasingly more time on my homework, and I met with Mr. A weekly. My classmates began to do the same, and it became “cool” to have lunch and talk with Mr. A. We didn’t know it at the time, but he was changing our attitudes.Though my story is n ot one of overnight successes and I didn’t become a straight-A math student, my hard work did begin to pay off and my grades slowly began to climb. There were hard times, of course. Difficult math questions sometimes succeeded in bringing me down, but Mr. A kept reminding me, “Kate, smile! It’s a-great day to be alive!”4. What does the underlined word “loathed” in paragraph 1 probably mean?A．Hated. B．Loved. C．Researched. D．Understood.5. What do we know about Mr. A?A．He loved math and his job. B．He liked showing his sufferings.C．He was very strict with the students. D．He preferred to encourage the topstudents.6. How did the author like her talk over lunch with Mr. A?A．It was boring. B．It was awkward. C．It waschallenging. D．It was meaningful.7. What can we infer from the last two paragraphs?A．Kate made progress in math study. B．Kate gradually fell in love with math.C．Kate was still afraid of math problems. D．Kate became a top student in math class.My First Marathon（马拉松）A month before my first marathon, one of my ankles was injured and this meant not running for two weeks, leaving me only two weeks to train. Yet, I was determined to go ahead.I remember back to my 7th year in school. In my first P.E. class, the teacher required us to run laps and then hit a softball. I didn’t do either well. He later informed me that I was ＂not athletic＂.The idea that I was ＂not athletic＂ stuck with me for years. When I started running in my 30s, I realized running was a battle against myself, not about competition or whether or not I was athletic. It was all about the battle against my own body and mind. A test of wills!The night before my marathon, I dreamt that I couldn’t even find the finish line. I woke up sweating and nervous, but ready to prove something to myself.Shortly after crossing the start line, my shoe laces(鞋带) became untied. So I stopped to readjust. Not the start I wanted!At mile 3, I passed a sign: ＂GO FOR IT, RUNNERS!＂By mile 17, I became out of breath and the once injured ankle hurt badly. Despite the pain, I stayed the course walking a bit and then running again.By mile 21, I was starving!As I approached mile 23, I could see my wife waving a sign. She is my biggest fan. She never minded the alarm clock sounding at 4 a.m. or questioned my expenses on running.I was one of the final runners to finish. But I finished! And I got a medal. In fact, I got the same medal as the one that the guy who came in first place had.Determined to be myself, move forward, free of shame and worldly labels(世俗标签), I can now call myself a ＂marathon winner＂.8. A month before the marathon, the author ____________.A． was well trained B． felt scaredC． made up his mind to run D． lost hope9. Why did the author mention the P.E. class in his 7th year?A． To acknowledge the support of his teacher.B． To amuse the readers with a funny story.C． To show he was not talented in sports.D． To share a precious memory.10. How was the author’s first marathon?A． He made it. B． He quit halfway.C． He got the first prize. D． He walked to the end.11. What does the story mainly tell us?A． A man owes his success to his family support.B． A winner is one with a great effort of will.C． Failure is the mother of success.D． One is never too old to learn.When someone asks me what my goals are for the coming year, I don’t usually know how to reply. Of course I, as most people do, want to see an improvement in my grades. This year, however, I’m hoping for something different.Through the course of my school life, I’ve gradually developed a new understanding of the word “prioritization (优先次序)”. The first thing I wish to get in Senior One is the ability to manage my time better. I’ll surely become busier with the coming semester, and proper organization is important. From school clubs to academic competitions, everything should be set up in a way that doesn’t influence my health, which leads me to my second goal.My mother has always told me put my health first, so in the future, I hope to be both physically and men tally healthy. A person can’t study without the energy to do so. In order to stay energetic, they must put their health first, no matter how busy they are, or how much work they have to complete.And finally, I hope that I won’t be discouraged by my failur e and never give up on my dreams. I hope that I’ll have the courage to try new activities and clubs. I believe my final goal can apply to every student around the world. We should all respect one another’s likes and dislikes, and focus on each other’s strengths, not our weaknesses. Everyone should try to make use of all of life’s opportunities.Albert Einstein once said, “Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving.” In my case, it’s the other way around. In order to keep moving, I must keep my balance—the balance between studies and activities, efficiency and procrastination (拖延症), academics and health, passions and dislikes. The new journey is going to be a hard one, but if I set these goals, I believe I will make it through to the end.12. During Senior One, what does the writer want to do first?A．Focus on improving her overall grades.B．Join as many school clubs as possible.C．Learn how to manage her time well.D．Spend more time on outdoor activities.13. What is the attitude of the writer towards failure?A．Discouraged. B．Brave. C．Worried. D．Careful.14. What does the underlined sentence “it’s the other way around” in the last paragraph mean?A．It is the opposite. B．It is difficult.C．It is necessary. D．It is helpful.15. What is the writer’s purpose of the passage?A．To share her goals for the coming school year.B．To stress the importance of health to students.C．To show what she likes about high school life.D．To explain how to balance studies and activities.Living in a city, one often sees a group of runners. As they pass by, they show a sense of health and well-being. These groups of runners are often part of a local running club. Joining such a group club is great for those who like jogging, love outdoor sports, and want a fitness challenge. 16Feel encouragedYou may think running clubs are for professional players. 17 You will find others who run at your pace and will soon feel encouraged to run a little further or faster. If you are a beginner, being part of a running club may inspire you to love the sport.Become more responsibleWhen one runs alone, it can be harder to go out of the door and onto the pavement. 18 Your running friends will be looking forward to seeing you and will miss you if you do not show up.Be socialWhen you are part of a club, you can make new friends who share the same passion. This offers a sense of belonging. And after a while, these new friends feel like a warm family and can become lifelong friends. 19 If one is taking on something new or challenging, it is best to have lots of warm support along the way.Feel safe20 When running alone at night, one may trip or fall due to the darkness. People are there for support when meeting an accident. Being with a group at night may also help one feel more secure and safe.This is a real-life story of building the Brooklyn Bridge in New York. In 1870, a creative engineer named John Roebling _______ an idea to build a bridge to connect New York and the Long Island.However, bridge building experts all over the world thought it _______ and advised Roebling to forget the idea.Roebling was thinking about his bridge all the time and he was _______ that it could be built.

2020-2021学年庆阳市第一中学高三英语第一次联考试题及答案第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项ASome young people win attention because of their good looks or their singing ability. A much smaller number gain fame because they have done something important and worthwhile with their abilities. Rishab Jain is among the latter. In 2018, 13-year-oldRishab developed a way to use AI technology to help pancreatic(胰腺的) cancer patients and won the3MYoung Scientist Challenge, a nationwide middle-school science competition, and its $25,000 prize.In the last stage of the contest, Rishab competed againstnine other finalists at the 3M Innovation Center(创新中心) in St.Paul,Minnesota. Leading up to the big meet, each finalist had partnered with a scientist to further develop their inventions.Rishab explains what led him to create his invention. First,a family friend died of cancer. Then Rishab learned about how deadly pancreatic cancer is, and that its low survival rate is due to how difficult it is to treat. "I'm also into programming, so I was learning about AI technology. I decided to try to solve a real-world problem using it."His winnings have been put in further research and in his nonprofit Samyak Science Society, which helps poor children enter the STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) education. Rishab is also raising awareness about pancreatic cancer. These efforts make him quite different from teenagers of his age. Considering becoming a biomedical engineer or a doctor一or both, he has also put some money aside to further his own learning. Almost certainly the doors of higher education will open wide to him before he even knocks.That's an outstanding outlook for one so young. Rashib is committed to helping very sick people in need. He is also providing teenagers of his age with a much-needed model of what kinds of things youth can achieve.1. What can we learn about the 3M Young Scientist Challenge in 2018?A. It was intended to solve medical problems.B. It was a nationwide AI competition for teenagers.C. It offered the finalists an opportunity to work with scientists.D. It allowed the finalists to learn AI technology in the 3M center.2. How did Rishab win the 3M Young Scientist Challenge?A.He showed excellent programming ability.B. He figured out the survival rate of pancreatic cancer.C. He introduced poor children to STEM education.D. He applied AI technology to treating pancreatic cancer.3. Which of the following best describes Rishab?A. Talented and caring.B. Independent and humorous.C. Responsible and patient.D. Polite and inspiring.BMark Twain,the famous American writer,was once traveling in France.He went by trainto Dijon.He was very tired and wanted to sleep.He therefore asked the conductor to wake him up when the train came to Dijon.But first he explained he was a very heavy sleeper,“I may possibly protest(抗议)loudly when you try to wake me up,” he said to the conductor.“But don’t take any notice of what I say.Just put me off the train anyway.”Then Mark Twain went to ter,when he woke up it was night time and the train had reached Paris already.He realized at once that the conductor had forgotten to wake him up at Dijon.He was so angry that he ran to the conductor and began to shout at him.“I have never been so angry in my life,” Mark Twain said.The conductor looked at him calmly(平静地).“You are not half so angry as the American whom I put off the train atDijon,” he said.4.

Researchers asked the students to complete two questionnaires on their sleep quality and smartphone use, in person and online.Using a 10-question scale that was developed to judge smartphone addiction in children, nearly 40% of the university students qualified as "addicted" to smartphones, the study found. “Our findings are in agreement with other reported studies in young adult populations globally, which are in the range of 30-45%,” lead author Sei Yon Sohn and her co-authors wrote in the study. "Later time of use was also significantly connected with smartphone addiction, with use after 1 a.m. increasing a 3- times risk," the authors wrote.Students who reported high use of smartphones also reported poor sleep quality, the study found. That foils in line with previous studies that have found overuse of smartphones at night to be associated with trouble falling asleep, reduced sleep duration (睡眠持续时间)and daytime tiredness. That's likely because use of smartphones close to bedtime has been shown to delay the body's normal sleep - and - wake clock.In fact, the No. 1 rule is "no computers, cell phones, and ipads in bed and at least one hour beforebed Dr. Vsevolod Polotsky, who directs sleep basic research, said in a recent interview. That's because "any LED light source from electronics (电子设备)may further hold back melatonin (褪黑激素)levels," Polotsky said. Melatonin is often referred to as a "sleep hormone," because we sleep better during the night when levels reach the top.“This is a cross-sectional study, and it cannot lead to any firm conclusions about smartphone use as the cause of reduced sleep quality, said Bob Patton, a lecturer in clinical psychology at the University of Surrey, via email.8.

He is trading his beautiful farmhouse in England for life in a mud hut in Uganda, East Africa.Pedley admits that he has notalways led a very positive life. At times he drank too much and got in trouble with the law. “I’ve always put the pursuit of money in front of everything else. As long as I was all right, I didn’t care who I was hurting, ” says Pedley.But a visit to Uganda in 2007 gave Pedley a new outlook on life. He was amazed at what he saw and how much the people there appreciated the work he was doing. “I worked there for a few days and these people who have nothing were thanking me by giving me bags of potatoes, which are a fortune for them,” he said.Now Pedley is selling his business, his $1.5 million farmhouse, and his expensive car — and moving into a hut made of mud and boards in a small Ugandan village. There he will help run an organization that hopes to improve the quality of life for people in the village of Kigazi. He will help to build schoolrooms for children and tanks to hold clean water for villagers. Today, people in Kigazi must walk two miles to a hospital, so Pedley will help to build doctors’ offices, too.Pedley’s organization will also work with English teenagers who are in trouble.
