“You should get a cat,” my doctor said. “A cat ” I couldn’t even look after myself. I took
a deep breath and carefully considered the idea of welcoming a feline (猫科的) friend into my life.
Adopting an animal during the height of the pandemic was far from easy. When my partner and I
found Cinnamon, her adoption profile made her out as the perfect kitten. We filled out the paperwork
and had a few weeks to prepare for her arrival.
When she came home, it became increasingly obvious that Cinnamon didn’t understand “no”,
“stop it” or “don’t do that”. She was the worst cat I’ve ever owned. I was beginning to doubt
my doctor’s advice.
We decided to start taking her for walks. I could barely leave the house before, but my heart
couldn’t say no to Cinnamon. Cinnamon showed me what bravery looked like if there was a dog at a
park, she would run toward it. She jumped without knowing where she would land. She loved
adventure. I found myself mirroring her behavior after a while, jumping out of bed without a second
thought. I began to find the motivation to get out of bed in the morning.
Cinnamon unfortunately passed away after a medical accident, leaving a cat-sized hole in my
heart the day she left us at only six months old. I’m no stranger to sadness or grief, but losing my pet
高一英语 4
{#{QQABRQIEogggAgBAARhCQQG6CkIQkBGCCIoGhFAMsAAAAQFABAA=}#}
so suddenly was the most confusing emotional experience I’ve ever had. She was supposed to help
me through more of my life than the short months we had her.
Our time is often cut unpredictably, unmistakably short. It would be a shame to live life being
anything less than brave and adventurous.
24．Why did the doctor advise the author to get a cat
A．To teach her to interact with animals.
B．To assist her to fill up her spare time.
C．To help her out of her mental disease.
D．To ensure her safety in time of pandemic.
25．Which of the following best describes the cat Cinnamon
A．Stupid but lovely. B．Outgoing and aggressive.
C．Stubborn but courageous. D．Naughty and adventurous.
26．What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about
A．Why Cinnamon loved going outside.
B．How Cinnamon affected the author positively.
C．Why the author decided to take Cinnamon outside.
D．How Cinnamon interacted with the author outdoors.
27．What message does the story convey
A．The loss of a pet is painful. B．The short life is unpredictable.
C．Friendship with pets is helpful. D．The courage to take risks is beneficial.
C
Cancer-fighting genes in elephants could help tackle one of the biggest killers of people,
according to research. Despite their large bodies and long lifespans, elephants are much less likely to
die from cancer than humans, with death rates of less than 5 percent.
The paradox has puzzled scientists because more cells lead to greater replications (复制), which
increases the possibility of the body failing to detect damaged DNA or a faulty cell that can result in
高一英语 5
{#{QQABRQIEogggAgBAARhCQQG6CkIQkBGCCIoGhFAMsAAAAQFABAA=}#}
tumors(肿瘤). Elephants live for almost as long as humans and weigh up to five tons.
However, a group of British and European scientists say they have taken a big step towards
solving Peto’s paradox, named after the British epidemiologist Sir Richard Peto. Elephants, they say,
carry a much larger more different group of tumor-fighting proteins（蛋白质）.
The findings, published last week in the journal Molecular Biology and Evolution, raise hopes
that the cancer fighting genes in elephants could be the key to dealing with cancer, which kills about
167, 000 Britons yearly. Cells keep dividing throughout the body, each carrying the risk of producing
a tumor. One of the body’s weapons is a gene called p53 known as the “guardian of the genome”,
which hunts cells with faulty DNA．It encourages the cell to repair itself or self-destruct, keeping the
cell from combining with others and producing tumors.
Humans have two versions of p53 but elephants have 40, said the researchers. Biochemical
analysis and computer simulations(模拟) also showed that an elephant’s p53 genes are structurally
slightly different, providing a much larger anti-cancer toolkit. The researchers think that while faulty
cells might be able to skirt two p53 versions, they cannot combine with other cells as easily in the face
of dozens.
The findings will open the way for research on how p53 genes of elephants are activated and on
medical treatment for humans.
28．What has puzzled scientists
A．Few elephants end up dying from cancer.
B．Elephants live long and weigh enormously.
C．More cells lead to higher chances of tumors.
D．A larger body is less likely to discover faulty cells.
29．What can be learnt from Paragraph 4
A．How many Britons die each year. B．How the anti-cancer gene works.
C．How the research was carried out. D．What the findings have been applied to.
30．What does the underlined word “skirt” in Paragraph 5 probably mean
A．Strengthen B．Detect C．Escape D．Cure.
高一英语 6
{#{QQABRQIEogggAgBAARhCQQG6CkIQkBGCCIoGhFAMsAAAAQFABAA=}#}
31．Which is the text mainly about
A．Scientists find elephants live longer than humans.
B．P53 genes play an essential role in preventing cancer.
C．Elephant genes could be key to fighting cancer.
D．Groundbreaking treatment for cancer is on the way.
D
A new trend called “praise groups” or “in-need-of-praise” chat groups has become popular on
Chinese social media. In Chinese culture, where modesty (谦逊) is valued, openly seeking and giving
praise is uncommon. These chat groups provide a platform for people to receive compliments (赞扬)
and encouragement, which are often lacking in their daily lives.
To join a praise group, users can pay a fee on e-commerce sites, starting at 50 yuan for five
minutes of compliments. The group members will then show the person with praises and kind words.
The compliments can be designed for a friend or loved one as well. Participants have found that being
praised by strangers can help lift their spirits and improve their self- confidence.
For example, Meng Zha, a student at Shanghai’s Tongji University, tried the service and found it
amusing and uplifting. She received compliments on her appearance and even quotes (引用 ) from
popular songs. Ms Meng couldn’t help but laugh at the compliments and expressed her desire to post
such high-quality praises in the future.
Praise groups have appeared as a way for people in China to seek and receive compliments and
encouragement that may be lacking in their daily lives. It provides a positive and uplifting experience
for participants, improving a sense of happiness and self-worth.
Those who support the groups, see them as an antidote to extremely bad moods (情绪) which are
often associated with things happening on the Internet. “At first, the purpose of this group is to make
us learn to praise others and accept others’ praises confidently. Here we can drop everything, and use
our heart to praise and support others, ”one member said. But the life journey is long and there are
some unexpected situations that we can only count on ourselves to face when there is no one out there

to offer help.
32．What is the purpose of praise groups
A．To make praise popular. B．To have everyone supported.
C．To share common interests. D．To give people hope and happiness.
33．What can we learn about Meng Zha in paragraph 3
A．She was not strong enough. B．She was under working stress.
C．She was satisfied with the service. D．She was a gifted singer in her area.
34．What does the underlined word “antidote” mean in the last paragraph
A．Away of making new friends. B．A kind of medicine.
C．Amethod of being confident. D．The wisdom of solving problems.
35．What is the author’s attitude to praise groups
A．Objective B．Critical.
C．Supportive. D．Indifferent.

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。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Including children in the farming lifestyle has many benefits. Sure, it is nice to have the
additional help with chores, but it also fosters so much growth, sending our kids down a good path
towards who they will someday become. It is possible that our children will grow up to lead lives that
do not include farming. 36
Through caring for farm animals, kids learn that in life others often come before self. 37
It doesn’t matter if we don’t feel like it or if we are sick and tired. What matters is that we take care of
the animals that take care of us and do so in a timely manner.
38 If the work on a farm does not get done, the operation fails. It takes discipline
and commitment to get down to business every day, and seeing this in action will give kids a good
work attitude. They will know and understand that nothing good comes easy and that they have to
work to survive. 39 Functioning as part of a productive team will surely be
playing a crucial role sooner or later in all walks of life.
Additionally, farming teaches patience. 40 It’s especially true for the animals. Cattle
will be difficult to control. Horses will run away when you try to catch them. Goats will kick over that

bucket of hard-earned milk. A rooster will decide you got too close to his hens and give you a run for
your money. In spite of all that, kids will learn to be patient and take things easy.
There may not be any instant reward, but in the long-term kids will see the benefit of all their
efforts during those hard days.
A．Fairly often, things do not go your way.
B．Kids also learn to be grateful to animals.
C．In the meantime, they learn to work with others.
D．Teamwork is no longer a significant skill to develop and use.
E．Animals need to be fed and cared for before we get to sit down and relax.
F．Kids are also able to comprehend the value of hard work through farm life.
G．What they learn on a farm, however, can be instrumental in their future lives.

I was sitting next to Missy in my 9th-grade world history class when Mrs. Bartlett announced a
new project: In groups, we were to create a newspaper about the culture we were studying.
On a piece of paper, we wrote the names of three friends we wanted in our group. After
collecting all the requests, Mrs. Bartlett told us that she would take into consideration our choices and
let us know the results the next day.
After the bell rang the next day, Missy and I waited anxiously as Mrs. Bartlett started to call out
names. When she reached group three, Missy’s name was called. I would be in the same group, I
高一英语 11

thought, as I knew we had chosen each other. Then the other three names were called. Mine was not
included. There must be some mistake!
Then I heard it. The last group: Mauro, Juliette, Rachel, Karina! I could feel tears well in my
eyes. How could I face being in that group-the boy, Mauro, who barely spoke English and his lack of
friends; Juliette, who, from West Asia, was always covered by long skirts to her ankles; and the other
girl who wore odd clothes. Oh, how I wanted to be with my friends!
I fought back tears as I walked up to Mrs. Bartlett. Knowing what I was there for, she looked at
me and gently placed a hand on my shoulder.
“I know what you want, Karina,” she said, “but your group needs you. I need you to help them
get a passing grade on this assignment. Will you help them ”
I was stunted. She had seen something in me even I hadn’t seen. “Yes,” I replied. I couldn’t
believe it came out of my mouth, but it did. Then I bravely walked to where the others in my group
was, sat down and started to work.
注意：
1.续写词数应为 150左右;

【演讲稿】 Good morning, everyone! My name is Li Hua. It’s my great honor to deliver a speech whose theme is “Better Lifestyle, Better Ourselves”
I used to be absorbed in surfing on the internet and therefore I was worn out all day. So I made up my mind to change it. I have replaced the internet with regular exercise, from which I get refreshed both physically and mentally. I also spend more time communicating with friends face to face, increasing my social ability and happiness. Thus, all the changes have enhanced the quality of my life.
Let’s change our bad lifestyle and better ourselves. Thank you for listening!
【续写】Gradually, I grew interested in working with my new friends. According to personal interests and what they were good at, I assigned them with different columns of the newspaper. Halfway through it, I felt myself enjoying the company of these three people. Gradually, I learned that Mauro had few friends because he was struggling with the English language; Juliette wore long skirts or dresses every day because of her religion; Rachel had a burning desire to be a fashion designer so she had a whole barrel of unique ideas. Finally, with our cooperation, our assignment was successfully finished.
Mrs. Bartlett gave us an A on that assignment. She announced to the whole class that the newspaper designed by our group was elaborately laid out and carefully edited, with rich cultural knowledge. Our joy and happiness were beyond description. After that semester ended, I always received a friendly hello from my group. Many years later, I didn’t recall anything about the newspaper, but I did feel fortunate to be given the opportunity to see in myself a potential that inspired my actions. It is Mrs B’s insight, vision and thoughtfulness that bring out the potential in four of her students. She is the one who truly deserves the grade A.
