答案：参考范文
Peter and I drove around to search the neighborhood. We spotted a few cats but none were our gorgeous orange cat with his white chest and white face. I put up my lost-cat notice around the neighborhood, with a photo of my beautiful cat and our phone number. After another restless night and another empty doorstep in the morning, I thought sadly, “He’s not an outdoor cat. He could not possibly survive two nights out there. We were never going to see him again.”
I was saying to myself “Never say never” when I heard something scratching the door at 10:00 p.m. I opened the door and found Garfield was right there! With excitement, I picked him up and shouted to the living room: “He is back! Garfield is back!” All of my family gathered around Garfield and me, greeting and comforting him. We all took turns holding him and fussing over him as the long-lost friend that he was. Garfield’s still an indoor cat. He’s such an important part of our family that we can’t afford to lose him again.永州市2023-2024学年第一学期高一年级期末考试

Pamela Malhotra has always attached great importance to education. However, life always seemed to “get in the way” every time she tried to finish her bachelor’s degree. The single mom was so devoted to working to support her two children that she repeatedly put her own education goals on hold, giving up her college program on two separate occasions over the years.
When he was just five years old, her son Bonifacio Malhotra noticed her struggling to get her degree, and he made a promise to help her. “I remember I just told my mom … one day, it’s gonna be you and me,” Bonifacio said. “We’re going to gain our degrees at the same time.” Those words proved to be prophetic for the mom-and-son duo, who currently walked across the stage at the university to collect their bachelor’s degrees together!
“That promise, he never allowed it to die,” said Pamela. “He continuously confirmed that we’re gonna do this.” Their path to graduation wasn’t easy, but Bonifacio stayed true to his promise and helped his mother along the way. The two hold two associate’s degrees each, so in the fall of 2021 they registered together in bachelor-level online courses. They both found the classes challenging, but Bonifacio stepped up as the cheerleader his mother needed. “Mom, you’ve got to keep it going. I know you want to stop. We must keep going,” Bonifacio recalled. “The main thing was just trying to get everything lined up and stay on top of all the work.”
It took the Malhotras two years to finish their bachelor’s degrees, hers in humanities and Bonifacio’s in public safety administration. Pamela plans to stay at her job as a coordinator, and Bonifacio has accepted a job at university to help other students succeed in college, too.
Pamela said she was incredibly proud of her son’s achievement, and she personally couldn’t have reached her lifelong goal without the support of her family, especially him. “Between my son and my daughter, they were my greatest supporter,” Pamela proudly said.
24. What does the underlined word “prophetic” in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Professional. B. Particular. C. Precious.D. Predictable.
25. What do we know about the Malhotras
A. They took online courses at the same time.
B. Pamela thought the courses were more challenging.
C. Bonifacio majored in humanities at university.
D. Pamela now works as a university teacher.
26 Which of the following statement can best describe Bonifacio
A. He’s the good man of the house. B. He’s a man of all work.
C. He’s a man among men. D. He’s a man of his word.
27. What can be the best title of the the passage
A. We Value the Time Being with Families
B. Families Help Each Other
C. The Home Is Our Heaven
D. Each Family Has Its Own Problems
C
He’s as big as a small golden dog and covered with scales (鳞片). He is the pangolin (穿山甲), an endangered animal.
According to the wildlife trade monitoring organization Traffic, about one million pangolins were killed from 2000 through 2013, mainly for their scales, which are used in medicine. Pangolins are sensitive creatures and picky eaters that only eat certain species of ants, a diet that’s very difficult to copy in the food chain.
“In the last decade, there’s been a huge growth trade in pangolins between continents, especially their scales,” says Dan Challender, chair of the pangolin specialist group. Previously, most pangolin killing happened within Asia, he says. This shift means that Asian pangolins are becoming difficult to find but that the value of the scales makes it worth the extra cost to take pangolins from Africa to Asia secretly.
All eight species of pangolins, four in Africa and four in Asia, are in danger of extinction due to the illegal trade. International trade in the four species of Asian pangolins has been banned since 2000. In the past few years, a ban on international commercial trade in all eight species has gone into effect. It was voted by 183 governments that are parties to the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES), which is in charge of cross-border trade in wild animals and their parts.
Pangolins are eaten as bushmeat in western and central Africa and by some local groups in South and Southeast Asia. Their parts also are used in Ghana, Nigeria, South Africa, and elsewhere in sub-Saharan Africa as traditional medicine. Typically dried, ground into powder, and put into pills, pangolin scales are used in a range of traditional medicines to help mothers who have given birth to babies to recover. But they are now endangered. Perhaps no pangolins can be seen when our next generation grow up.
28.What do you know about pangolins from Paragraph 2
A. Their meat is very delicious. B. Their scales are of great value.
C. They are smaller than young dogs. D. They are on the top of the food chain.
29.Why are pangolins brought from Africa to Asia
A. Pangolins are cheaper in Africa.
B. No laws protect pangolins in Africa.
C. People in Asia can really save pangolins.
D. Pangolins have sharply decreased in numbers in Asia.
30.What does the fourth paragraph mainly tell us
A. Pangolins have many different species.
B. The bans on pangolin trade are ineffective.
C. People used to take advantage of pangolins in different ways.
D. Governments have tried to contribute to the protection of pangolins.
31.What’s the author’s attitude towards pangolins’ future
A. Positive B. Uncaring. C. Concerned. D. Confident.
D
In the digital age, we are becoming accustomed to technological innovations, and the fact that they can have a deep impact on our lives.
The number of the smartphone adult users has reached 85 percent in the UK population Meanwhile streaming and 5G tech are changing the way we watch movies, TV shows and sports events. But Artificial Intelligence(AI) is probably the biggest game-changer of them all. The biggest impacts have nothing to do with robots or even digital assistants like Google Home. Here are two real-world applications of AI that are already changing our world for the better
One is better medical diagnose. If you had some illness, would you want to be diagnosed by a doctor or a machine You'd probably say the former. but in reality, the question is not that simple. Today, human expertise and AI work side by side to make faster, better diagnoses. Think of it this way—a doctor can spend an hour reading six or seven cases while AI can do six or seven thousand in seconds and then present the doctor with a range of possible medical conditions along with their related probabilities.
The other is reducing fraud( 欺 诈 ) . Fraud against big businesses seems nothing to do with us. In fact, it often ends up affecting us all, especially when insurance companies, for example, are forced to increase the premium( 保 费 ) to cover losses. AI is being used more and more in insurtech, both to speed up the claim( 索 赔 ) process and to mark possibly fraudulent claims more reliably. It does this by analysing big data trends. Faster processing and reduced fraud are good news for everyone, and that can save money for us.
32. What has affected the way of our lives most
A. Reading books. B. Digital assistants. C. Smart robots. D. Artificial Intelligence.
33. What does the underlined word "expertise" mean in paragraph 3
A. Professional knowledge B. Interesting hobbies
C. Medical conditions D. Scientific research
34. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. AI can benefit us a lot.
B. AI can help us earn money.
C. AI makes the claim process slow.
D. AI makes us increase the premium.
35. What is the best title for the text
A. How AI Is Reducing Fraud in Our Live.
B. How AI Is Touching All Our Lives for the Better.
C. What Advantages AI Is Bringing to Medical Diagnose.
D. In What Aspects AI Is Changing the Way of Entertainment.

Honesty has always been a traditional virtue in China. Despite the passage of time, honesty has been passed down as a mainstream value. ____36____
A famous Chinese idiom (成语), yinuo qianjin, tells such a story. In the early Western Han Dynasty (206 BC-AD 24), a general named Ji Bu was known for being courageous and honest. Legend has it that whenever Ji made a promise, he would spare no effort to fulfill it. ____37____ There was a saying widely spread: It is better to have a promise from Ji Bu than to get hundreds of ounces of gold.

This draft was not only a promise to pay, but also a claim that an amount of coin equals to the specified amount and the draft could be cashed everywhere. Li readily agreed and kept his word. The story soon got around, and Li’s honesty brought him a flood of customers and a booming business. ____39____ It is called the predecessor (前身) of the Chinese banking industry. His banking business eventually expanded into 35 branches across the country. Rishengchang has been preserved and turned into a museum now.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Our Garfield became a mostly indoor cat. He used to wander outside but we discovered he had a terrible sense of direction, so now he has to stay inside. He does not enjoy being on the inside looking out, but it’s safer for him so that’s how it has to be.
When Garfield isn’t sleeping, he’s either sitting on a windowsill (窗台) or sitting with his wet nose pressed against our glass door overlooking the deck (木质平台), like a prisoner behind bars. As he ages, he earns back his outside rights an hour per day because he shows us that he will stay close to the back deck.
When we let him out last week, a thunderstorm arose out of nowhere. By the time we heard the crack of lightning and remembered Garfield was outside, we opened the door to see nothing but strong wind and heavy rain. My daughter Janette put on her rubber boots and raincoat to check around the house, but Garfield was nowhere to be found. The thunderstorm obviously had scared him into a run in the wrong direction. Who knew where he would end up
It took me forever to fall asleep that night. I prayed (祈祷) someone would protect him and help him find his way home. As I continued praying, I realized that in my daily prayers for my family, I rarely included Garfield. Now that he was gone, maybe forever, I realized what an important part of our family he was. I prayed for his safe return.
My husband Peter was the first one up at 6: 00 a. m. He checked the doorstep, but no Garfield was in sight. I saw my neighbor Heidi taking her dog out for a walk, and I asked her to please keep her eyes open for our cat. Janette and her three brothers all walked around the house that day looking like they had lost their best friend. Peter decided to look for Garfield around the neighborhood.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Peter and I drove around to search the neighborhood.
