The sky started to become darker. I didn’t know what to do, so I called out to my classmates but there was no reply. I looked for a way but none of the scenes seemed familiar. I walked for a few more minutes, hoping to meet other people behind, but once again it didn’t worked. I was scared hungry and helpless. Still, I know it is no use being anxious. I needed to keep calm. I decided to stay where I was,saving my energy until the rescue team arrive.
As I was falling asleep,I heard a human voice. I doubted my ears but then I heard someone else. I screamed, “Help!” There was a note of excitement in my voice. They were rescuers who had come searching for me because my classmates reported my loss. They took me back to the bus. The moment I saw my classmates, I couldn’t control my tears in my eyes. They kept asking if I was hurt and what had happened. When they learned I was safe, they were relieved. What an unforgettable experience!龙岩市永定区2023-2024学年高二上学期期中考试英语试卷

A
We all know that theme parks are places to have fun and amuse ourselves, but among so many exciting rides there are also some dangers.Make sure you know what the safety standards are for all the attractions at the park.If you do that, you will be safe and have fun.
Drink water. Believe it or not, dehydration—when your body doesn't have enough water—is the commonest cause of injuries at theme parks.Drinking water while you are at the park is not enough. You must make sure that you drink enough water before you visit it.
Use your “common sense”．There are lots of people around, so make sure you know where your friends or family are. Also, if you are walking and want to stop, make sure nobody is walking behind you. First step aside, then look behind and if you aren't in anybody's way, then stop. It might sound upset, but crashes between people can cause accidents.
Follow the instructions. The majority of theme parks have instructions for each ride. Some rides only allow people of a certain height. So make sure you are not too tall or too short before boarding any ride. Also, people with certain diseases or conditions are advised not to go on some rides. Do remember: If you are told not to go on a ride, then DON'T.
Do not ride until a bad stomach or if you've just eaten. Rides can make you ill because of their violent changes of direction and your lunch may end up on someone else's head; surely not a very pleasant experience.
Have fun, relax and be a little brave! Some rides might look scary but theme parks are very safe places.
1．What is the leading reason for injuries at theme parks
A．Snow. B．Dehydration. C．Fire. D．Crashes.
2．According to the author, ．
A．it costs nothing to go to theme parks
B．people can have lots of fun in theme parks
C．men are more interested in theme parks than women
D．shy people should not go to theme parks
3．Which of the following will be accepted by the author
A．Children should not play in theme parks.
B．One shouldn't eat anything before riding.
C．One must always stay with his friends or family in theme parks.
D．One must read the instructions before playing in theme parks.
B
There is one language that is used in every country in the world. The people who use it are young and old, short and tall, thin and fat. It is everybody’s second language. It is easy to understand, although you can’t hear it. It is sign language.
When you wave to a friend who is across the street, you are using sign language. When you nod to someone, you are saying, “I want to be friendly.” But you are not using speech; you are using sign language. When you raise your hand in class, you are saying, “Please ask me. I think I know the correct answer.”
Babies who can’t talk can point at things. They are using sign language. A policeman who wants to stop traffic holds up his hand. He is using sign language.
Many years ago, a French priest, Charles Michel de L’Epee, became interested in education for deaf people. He invented a finger alphabet, which is still in use today. People can make signs for letters and spell words with their hands, and deaf people can read and understand them. Soon there were schools for the deaf in many countries. There are many universities for the deaf in the US now.
The actors in the Theatre of Deaf don’t spell every word. Sometimes they use hand signs. When they put two hands together, it means sandwiches. They can make a roof with their hands when they want to show a house. One finger in front of an actor’s mouth can mean “be quiet”. You can talk to people who are behind windows that are closed. And when you go swimming with your friends, you can have conversations underwater.
4. What can we learn about sign language from paragraph 1
A. It is a language used in a few countries.
B. It is a way to express ideas without words.
C. It is only used by the deaf.
D. It can be easily heard.
5. What will you do if you want to express “I am very friendly.”
A. Raise your hand. B. Put one hand onto the other.
C. Nod to the person. D. Make a roof with your hands.
6. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage
A. Hand signs are more important than finger signs.
B. There is only one university for the deaf in the US.
C. Charles Michel de L’Epee invented sign language.
D. Babies can communicate by using sign language.
7. What is the passage mainly about
A. An introduction to sign language. B. The importance of sign language.
C. A famous priest in France. D. How to use sign language.
C
Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm were two young men from Germany who loved a good story. As university students, they became interested in folktales—traditional stories that people memorized and told again and again. They began to collect traditional folktales from storytellers all over Germany. Many were similar to stories told in France, Italy, Japan, and other countries. Between 1812 and 1814, the brothers published two books in German. These included stories like “Hansel and Gretel” and “Little Red Riding Hood. ”
Despite the fact that Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm are often associated with Snow White and Rapunzel, the brothers didn’t actually write any of those stories. In fact, the stories existed long before the two men were born in Germany in the mid 1780s. The fairy tales, in fact, were part of a rich oral tradition—passed down from generation to generation, often by women seeking to pass the time during household chores. In 1812, Jacob and Wilhelm published the stories as part of a collection titled Nursery and Household Tales, or what is now known as Grimm’s Fairy Tales.
The Grimm brothers’ tales were about traditional life and beliefs. For example, forests are common in Germany, and this image often appears in the Grimms’ stories. In the past, many people believed forests were dangerous places. In the Grimms’ stories, a forest is the home of evil witches, talking animals, and other magical beings.
Although most people today think of these stories as fairy tales for children, the brothers first wrote them for adults. Many of their early tales were dark and a little scary. Later, the brothers changed the text of some of the original stories. They “softened” many of the tales and added drawings. This made them more appropriate(合适的) for children. Like the early tales, though, each story still has a moral: work hard, be good, and listen to your parents.
Actually, university-trained philologists (语言学者) and librarians, Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm published more than fairy tales. They wrote books about mythology, and published scholarly works on linguistics and medieval studies.
8. What is the main purpose of the reading
A. To compare the Grimms’ stories to modern children’s stories.
B. To explain why storytelling is important in Germany.
C. To examine two of the Grimms’ fairy tales.
D. To give information about the Grimm brothers and their stories.
9. Which of these statements is true about the Grimm brothers
A. They invented the fairy tales in their books.
B. They wrote their books in different languages.
C. They became interested in folktales as students.
D. They traveled to many countries to collect stories.
10. Which of the following best explains “moral” underlined in Paragraph 4
A. interest B. text C. story D. message
11. What do we know about the Grimms’ stories
A. The later stories had morals, like the early ones.
B. The early stories were written for children.
C. The early stories had a lot of drawings.
D. The later stories reflected German life, but the early ones didn’t.
D
Ian McKenna was in third grade when he learned that many kids at his Austin school weren’t getting enough to eat at home. He wanted to help, but local volunteer organizations turned him away, saying he was too young. So he decided to find his own solution. For years, he had been gardening with his mother, and they often distributed their extra vegetables to the neighbors. “Why not give the produce to a soup kitchen Then I thought, I’m good at gardening，” says McKenna, now 16．“Why not plant a garden at school, so that kids in need could take food home？”
McKenna persuaded his school to set aside space for a garden; then he asked the community for donations of seeds and equipment. Other students donated their time. Within months, McKenna’s garden was producing lettuces, tomatoes, cucumbers and squash for students and their families. Now, seven years later, McKenna’s Giving Garden project has expanded to five area schools in addition to his own backyard garden, and he has provided organic produce, enough for 25,000 meals, to Austin families.
For most of his gardening activities, McKenna wears the same T shirt in different colours, with his personal motto on it: BE A GOOD HUMAN. To him, that means helping in any way you can, no matter what your age. “Even a smile might change someone’s life，” he says. “It lets them know that they are important. It can make their day. ”
When COVID 19 hit the U．S. , McKenna redoubled his efforts, cooking up to 100 meals to distribute to the hungry on the weekends. When social distancing meant that volunteers couldn’t work on community garden plots, he started offering online classes and a gardening hotline so families could grow at home. While gardening is his core focus, McKenna says he is always looking for new ways to help the hungry.
12．What caused Ian’s decision to help the kids in his own way
A．Being rejected by volunteer groups. B．Being good at gardening.
C．A soup kitchen’s support. D．His mother’s suggestions.
13．What do we know about the Giving Garden project
A．It helps students only. B．It was started with joint efforts.
C．It was funded by schools. D．It earns great profits every year.
14．Which of the following can best explain Ian’s personal motto
A．Where there is a will, there is a way.
B．A small gesture makes a difference.
C．One good turn deserves another.
D．Love can break all the barriers.
15．What is the best title for the passage
A．Ian McKenna, Growing a Food Bank
B．Ian Mckenna, an Experienced Gardener
C．Giving Garden Project, an Impossible Mission
D．Giving Garden Project, a Universal Solution

One sunny Saturday morning, I got ready for a hike with my classmates. I was so excited about it since it was my first time to go hiking. I ate a light breakfast just a few slices of bread and an egg. After that I grabbed my backpack and hurriedly ran out of my house and then met my classmates at the school gate. At that time I didn’t think that there would be a terrible disaster ahead.
The jungle (丛林) that we are going to was far from our area. Its name was Salymbia Jungle. The drive was 3 hours long but it was not a dull ride as we were all eager about the hike and we bad each other’s company. We appointed a guide and his name was Thomas. He said that he had hiked in the Salymbia Jungle lots of times, and he was familiar with the pathways. When we arrived, Thomas allowed us to begin. There were a wide variety of plants which I had never seen before. The smell of the jungle was so earthy. All of us were amazed by the beauty of the scenery and the sound of the creatures.
After a while we were walking and then I looked at my wrist (手腕) to check the time but then I realized my watch had fallen off. Then I walked back without telling anyone. I did not worry about getting lost since there were other persons behind and I thought I would have been able to catch up with my classmates. I went back searching the pathway and I lost track of time and lost sight of my classmates. I immediately realized that I was alone.
After I realized I was lost, the first thing I did was to check my phone to see how far away I was from my companions. However, I was having no luck because there was no network in my phone, which made my phone practically useless.
