2024-2025学年福建省福州市长乐第一中学高一上学期第二次月考英语试题
第二部分 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和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
Some people say global English is no longer just controlled by British or American English, but is running free and developing uniquely local forms. Can you figure out the following terms
“I like your smile, but unlike you put your shoes on my face.” This is a way of saying “Keep off the grass.” Or “people mountain, people sea”, which means “very crowded”.
These examples are what we call Chinglish. When it comes to Chinglish, if all you know is “good good study, day day up”, you will be considered “out man”.
Nowadays, more Chinglish words have been created, for example, a Chinese idiom is translated as “smilence”, a combination by the English word smile and silence.
Chinglish usually offer a humorous look at misuses of the English language in Chinese street signs, products, and advertising. They are favoured by some English speaking tourists and visitors. Dominic Swire has been living in Beijing for a couple of years. “I think many Chinese people complain about the Chinglish and badly translated English. But you know, sometimes for us foreigners, it’s actually quite charming to see them. I think if the translations of English in China were all perfect, then something would be lost from Chinese culture.”
However, Chinglish will probably become a “cultural relic” in the near future. Beijing has made a comprehensive plan to improve foreign language services and correct Chinglish within five years. “It is very ridiculous to sec Chinglish on the signs in some scenic spots. And they are a kind of barrier for communication between Chinese and people from other countries,” a Beijinger said.
Some Chinese university experts side with Chinglish. They argue that English has absorbed elements from other languages such as French and Spanish in its growth, and now it’s Chinese’s turn.
21. What can we call Chinglish
A. English words which get new Chinese meanings.
B. The Chinese words which are difficult to translate.
C. The words combining English vocabulary and Chinese grammar.
D. The local words preventing foreigners from learning Chinese well.
22. What does “smilence” most probably mean
A. Knowing little about speech. B. Smiling without being noticed.
C. Laughing at somebody. D. Saying nothing but to smile.
23. What is Swire’s attitude to Chinglish
A. It can show the humour of Chinese. B. It will attract more foreign tourists.
C. It helps him to learn Chinese well. D. It seems part of Chinese culture.
24. Why is Chinglish likely to become a “cultural relic” in Beijing
A. Because Beijing is determined to get rid of Chinglish signs.
B. Because Chinglish is a chance to enrich Chinese and English.
C. Because it has become a unique bridge between Chinese and English.
D. Because it improves the understanding between Chinese and foreigners.
25. What is the genre of the passage
A. Argumentation B. Exposition
C. Narration D. Practical Writing
B
Fishing trips to Canada are a tradition for Jeffrey Hardy and his three friends from America. This summer in 2023, the forest air polluted with wildfire smoke forced the men to give up their mid-June fishing plan. Canada’s wildfire season put its tourism industry at a crucial (关键的) time.
Except some days of poor air quality major Canadian cities remain unaffected by wildfires. The fires are in the country’s northern areas that have drawn travelers interested in outdoor experiences in years past.
In a recent report by Destination Canada, a marketing organization, half of the total spent by international visitors is in Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal. But other Canadian destinations attractive to visitors have been affected by the wildfires.
In preparation for increasing visitor sizes and ongoing wildfires some businesses are thinking about changing their operations, which see outdoor recreation (娱乐) as a tourism opportunity. A nonprofit travel agency is considering creating a questionnaire (调查问卷) for customers to show when they would cancel a booking because of road closes from the wildfires, poor air quality and a lack of visibility.
Tourism in British Columbia contributes greatly to its economy. The province has various recreational offerings, from the major ski destinations to hiking along the coast. Blackcomb, a helicopter tour company, has canceled its sightseeing offerings, using most of its helicopters on the firefighting effort until at least early August. “It’s the question of flying our customers around on sightseeing tours or putting out fire s within 10 kilometers of our bases and the communities that we live in,” said Jordy Norris, the company’s tourism director. “We made it clear to both our staff and our customers that we have a duty to protect the backyard.”
Darrin Rigo, a photographer, recently saw a photo of a beautiful waterfall engulfed in fire on a media page. “I’m sure that’s not going to last long, and everything will turn to normal.” he said.
26. Which part of Canada is most affected by the wildfire
A. Canada’s central part. B. The northern areas.
C. Major Canadian cities. D. Places with few visitors.
27. What can be inferred about Jordy Norris
A. He is sad about his company’s loss from the fire.
B. He is confident about the use of the questionnaire.
C. He is glad to join in the fight against the wildfire.
D. He is stressed about the fire’s effect on his company.
28. Which of the following word can best replace the underlined word “offerings” in paragraph5
A. choices. B. gifts. C. givings. D. goods.
29. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Tourism Suffers Great Loss in the Wildfire
B. All of Canada Have Acted to Beat Wildfire
C. Most of Canada Is Affected by the Wildfire
D. Wildfire Won’t Stop Canada’s Tourism Development
30. What does the underlined word “engulfed” in paragraph 6 mean
A. covered. B. donated C. rescued. D. protected.
C
Though diet and exercise are recommended as ways to improve health, new UCR research is the first to examine the long-lasting, combined effects of both factors when they are experienced early in life. “Any time you go to a doctor with concerns about your weight, almost without fail, the doctor recommends that you exercise and eat less, ”said researcher Marcell Cadney. “That’s why it’s surprising most studies only look at diet or exercise separately. In this study, we wanted to include both,” he said.
The researchers found that early-life exercise led to reduced anxious behaviors and an increase in adult muscle and brain mass. When fed Western-style diets high in fat and sugar, the mice not only became fatter, but also grew into adults that preferred unhealthy food.
To obtain the findings, the researchers divided the young mice into four groups—those with access to exercise, those without access, those fed a standard, healthy diet and those who ate a Western diet. Mice started on their diets immediately after weaning(断奶), and continued with them for three weeks until they reached adulthood. After an additional eight weeks of “washout”, during which all mice were housed without wheels and on a healthy diet, the researchers did a behavioral analysis and measured levels of several different hormones.
One of those they measured, leptin, is produced by fat cells. It helps control bodyweight by increasing energy consumption and signaling that less food is required. Early-life exercise increased adult leptin levels in adult mice, regardless of the diet they ate.
Previously, the research team found that eating too much fat and sugar as a child can change the microbiome(微生物群) for life, even if they later eat healthier. Going forward, the team plans to study whether fat or sugar is more responsible for the negative effects they measured in Western-diet-fed mice.
This study offers great opportunities for health interventions in childhood habits. “Our findings may be related to understanding the potential effects of activity reductions and dietary changes associated with overweight,” said Marcell.
31. What is special about the new UCR research
A. It takes both exercise and diet into account.
B. It is the first to study the effect of exercise.
C. It finds the relation between health and diet.
D. It gives equal importance to physical and mental health.
32. What may early-life exercise contribute to
A. Stronger bones. B. A desire for healthy food.
C. A peaceful mind. D. The various microbiome for life.
33. What is mainly discussed about the research in Paragraph 3
A. Its process. B. Its importance. C. Its objective. D. Its results.
34. The underlined word “leptin” in Paragraph 4 refers to a type of ________.
A. Behavior. B. Mouse. C. Diet. D. Hormone.
35. What can we learn from the last two paragraphs
A. It’s never too late to make a change.
B. Early-life health habits matter.
C. A healthy body leads to a healthy mind.
D. Dietary habits make a difference to children’s behavior.

第二部分 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和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
Some people say global English is no longer just controlled by British or American English, but is running free and developing uniquely local forms. Can you figure out the following terms
“I like your smile, but unlike you put your shoes on my face.” This is a way of saying “Keep off the grass.” Or “people mountain, people sea”, which means “very crowded”.
These examples are what we call Chinglish. When it comes to Chinglish, if all you know is “good good study, day day up”, you will be considered “out man”.
Nowadays, more Chinglish words have been created, for example, a Chinese idiom is translated as “smilence”, a combination by the English word smile and silence.
Chinglish usually offer a humorous look at misuses of the English language in Chinese street signs, products, and advertising. They are favoured by some English speaking tourists and visitors. Dominic Swire has been living in Beijing for a couple of years. “I think many Chinese people complain about the Chinglish and badly translated English. But you know, sometimes for us foreigners, it’s actually quite charming to see them. I think if the translations of English in China were all perfect, then something would be lost from Chinese culture.”
However, Chinglish will probably become a “cultural relic” in the near future. Beijing has made a comprehensive plan to improve foreign language services and correct Chinglish within five years. “It is very ridiculous to sec Chinglish on the signs in some scenic spots. And they are a kind of barrier for communication between Chinese and people from other countries,” a Beijinger said.
Some Chinese university experts side with Chinglish. They argue that English has absorbed elements from other languages such as French and Spanish in its growth, and now it’s Chinese’s turn.
21. What can we call Chinglish
A. English words which get new Chinese meanings.
B. The Chinese words which are difficult to translate.
C. The words combining English vocabulary and Chinese grammar.
D. The local words preventing foreigners from learning Chinese well.
22. What does “smilence” most probably mean
A. Knowing little about speech. B. Smiling without being noticed.
C. Laughing at somebody. D. Saying nothing but to smile.
23. What is Swire’s attitude to Chinglish
A. It can show the humour of Chinese. B. It will attract more foreign tourists.
C. It helps him to learn Chinese well. D. It seems part of Chinese culture.
24. Why is Chinglish likely to become a “cultural relic” in Beijing
A. Because Beijing is determined to get rid of Chinglish signs.
B. Because Chinglish is a chance to enrich Chinese and English.
C. Because it has become a unique bridge between Chinese and English.
D. Because it improves the understanding between Chinese and foreigners.
25. What is the genre of the passage
A. Argumentation B. Exposition
C. Narration D. Practical Writing
B
Fishing trips to Canada are a tradition for Jeffrey Hardy and his three friends from America. This summer in 2023, the forest air polluted with wildfire smoke forced the men to give up their mid-June fishing plan. Canada’s wildfire season put its tourism industry at a crucial (关键的) time.
Except some days of poor air quality major Canadian cities remain unaffected by wildfires. The fires are in the country’s northern areas that have drawn travelers interested in outdoor experiences in years past.
In a recent report by Destination Canada, a marketing organization, half of the total spent by international visitors is in Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal. But other Canadian destinations attractive to visitors have been affected by the wildfires.
In preparation for increasing visitor sizes and ongoing wildfires some businesses are thinking about changing their operations, which see outdoor recreation (娱乐) as a tourism opportunity. A nonprofit travel agency is considering creating a questionnaire (调查问卷) for customers to show when they would cancel a booking because of road closes from the wildfires, poor air quality and a lack of visibility.
Tourism in British Columbia contributes greatly to its economy. The province has various recreational offerings, from the major ski destinations to hiking along the coast. Blackcomb, a helicopter tour company, has canceled its sightseeing offerings, using most of its helicopters on the firefighting effort until at least early August. “It’s the question of flying our customers around on sightseeing tours or putting out fire s within 10 kilometers of our bases and the communities that we live in,” said Jordy Norris, the company’s tourism director. “We made it clear to both our staff and our customers that we have a duty to protect the backyard.”
Darrin Rigo, a photographer, recently saw a photo of a beautiful waterfall engulfed in fire on a media page. “I’m sure that’s not going to last long, and everything will turn to normal.” he said.
26. Which part of Canada is most affected by the wildfire
A. Canada’s central part. B. The northern areas.
C. Major Canadian cities. D. Places with few visitors.
27. What can be inferred about Jordy Norris
A. He is sad about his company’s loss from the fire.
B. He is confident about the use of the questionnaire.
C. He is glad to join in the fight against the wildfire.
D. He is stressed about the fire’s effect on his company.
28. Which of the following word can best replace the underlined word “offerings” in paragraph5
A. choices. B. gifts. C. givings. D. goods.
29. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Tourism Suffers Great Loss in the Wildfire
B. All of Canada Have Acted to Beat Wildfire
C. Most of Canada Is Affected by the Wildfire
D. Wildfire Won’t Stop Canada’s Tourism Development
30. What does the underlined word “engulfed” in paragraph 6 mean
A. covered. B. donated C. rescued. D. protected.
C
Though diet and exercise are recommended as ways to improve health, new UCR research is the first to examine the long-lasting, combined effects of both factors when they are experienced early in life. “Any time you go to a doctor with concerns about your weight, almost without fail, the doctor recommends that you exercise and eat less, ”said researcher Marcell Cadney. “That’s why it’s surprising most studies only look at diet or exercise separately. In this study, we wanted to include both,” he said.
The researchers found that early-life exercise led to reduced anxious behaviors and an increase in adult muscle and brain mass. When fed Western-style diets high in fat and sugar, the mice not only became fatter, but also grew into adults that preferred unhealthy food.
To obtain the findings, the researchers divided the young mice into four groups—those with access to exercise, those without access, those fed a standard, healthy diet and those who ate a Western diet. Mice started on their diets immediately after weaning(断奶), and continued with them for three weeks until they reached adulthood. After an additional eight weeks of “washout”, during which all mice were housed without wheels and on a healthy diet, the researchers did a behavioral analysis and measured levels of several different hormones.
One of those they measured, leptin, is produced by fat cells. It helps control bodyweight by increasing energy consumption and signaling that less food is required. Early-life exercise increased adult leptin levels in adult mice, regardless of the diet they ate.
Previously, the research team found that eating too much fat and sugar as a child can change the microbiome(微生物群) for life, even if they later eat healthier. Going forward, the team plans to study whether fat or sugar is more responsible for the negative effects they measured in Western-diet-fed mice.
This study offers great opportunities for health interventions in childhood habits. “Our findings may be related to understanding the potential effects of activity reductions and dietary changes associated with overweight,” said Marcell.
31. What is special about the new UCR research
A. It takes both exercise and diet into account.
B. It is the first to study the effect of exercise.
C. It finds the relation between health and diet.
D. It gives equal importance to physical and mental health.
32. What may early-life exercise contribute to
A. Stronger bones. B. A desire for healthy food.
C. A peaceful mind. D. The various microbiome for life.
33. What is mainly discussed about the research in Paragraph 3
A. Its process. B. Its importance. C. Its objective. D. Its results.
34. The underlined word “leptin” in Paragraph 4 refers to a type of ________.
A. Behavior. B. Mouse. C. Diet. D. Hormone.
35. What can we learn from the last two paragraphs
A. It’s never too late to make a change.
B. Early-life health habits matter.
C. A healthy body leads to a healthy mind.
D. Dietary habits make a difference to children’s behavior.

Though diet and exercise are recommended as ways to improve health, new UCR research is the first to examine the long-lasting, combined effects of both factors when they are experienced early in life. “Any time you go to a doctor with concerns about your weight, almost without fail, the doctor recommends that you exercise and eat less, ”said researcher Marcell Cadney. “That’s why it’s surprising most studies only look at diet or exercise separately. In this study, we wanted to include both,” he said.
The researchers found that early-life exercise led to reduced anxious behaviors and an increase in adult muscle and brain mass. When fed Western-style diets high in fat and sugar, the mice not only became fatter, but also grew into adults that preferred unhealthy food.
To obtain the findings, the researchers divided the young mice into four groups—those with access to exercise, those without access, those fed a standard, healthy diet and those who ate a Western diet. Mice started on their diets immediately after weaning(断奶), and continued with them for three weeks until they reached adulthood. After an additional eight weeks of “washout”, during which all mice were housed without wheels and on a healthy diet, the researchers did a behavioral analysis and measured levels of several different hormones.
One of those they measured, leptin, is produced by fat cells. It helps control bodyweight by increasing energy consumption and signaling that less food is required. Early-life exercise increased adult leptin levels in adult mice, regardless of the diet they ate.
Previously, the research team found that eating too much fat and sugar as a child can change the microbiome(微生物群) for life, even if they later eat healthier. Going forward, the team plans to study whether fat or sugar is more responsible for the negative effects they measured in Western-diet-fed mice.
This study offers great opportunities for health interventions in childhood habits. “Our findings may be related to understanding the potential effects of activity reductions and dietary changes associated with overweight,” said Marcell.
