Carl Allamby started his car repair business at the tender age of 19. Over the years, it had grown into two shops with 11 workers, but Allamby had become uneasy, longing for something more. Therefore, at the age of 34, he decided to go for his bachelor’s degree in business management.
After taking classes part-time over the next five years, Allamby was told he had to take biology to get his degree, which later turned out to be the best thing that ever happened. Biology classes reawakened a childhood dream that he had hidden somewhere deep within himself.
Born in East Cleveland, Ohio, Allamby was raised by his stay-at-home mother and a father who sold home goods door-to-door. His school didn’t offer the advanced science classes that might have led him on a premed (医学预科的) path. Even if it had, doing well in school could prove dangerous. “You could get into a lot of trouble just for being the class nerd (讨厌的人),” Allamby said. So he set aside the thoughts of becoming a doctor and started fixing cars instead.
But a different Carl Allamby walked into that biology class at age 39. He was ready to live his dream. With the support of his family he soon decided to skip business school to take science classes. Becoming a doctor was late and he would become a nurse instead, he reasoned. But Allamby’s chemistry professor told him “Why not a doctor You have a great talent for the work. You will go a long way.” The professor was right and Allamby did very well.
In 2015, Allamby cut ties with his past, and then he started at Northeast Ohio Medical University. In 2019, Carl Allamby became Carl Allamby, MD. He took a job in emergency medicine at Cleveland Clinic Akron General.
“How many people can do something so brand-new at such a late stage in their life ” he said. “My age and past career are all good reasons why I shouldn’t be here. And yet, here I am.”
4. Why was taking biology “the best thing that ever happened” to Allamby
A. It ensured him a bachelor’s degree.
B. It helped him realize his childhood dream about being a doctor.
C. It brought about more profits in his business.
D. It developed his potential to become a doctor.
5. What is the author’s purpose in writing Para.3
A. To describe Allamby’s difficulty in school.
B. To introduce Allamby’s family background.
C. To show how Allamby struggled in his childhood.
D. To explain why Allamby once gave up his dream.
6. What do we know from the chemistry professor’s words
A. He acknowledged Allamby’s capability.
B. He admired Allamby’s courage.
C. He advised Allamby should aim lower.
D. He assumed Allamby was too old to be a doctor.
7. What does Allamby’s story mainly tell us

Bees are among the most fascinating insects on Earth. Not only do they play a crucial role in pollinating plants, but they also have a highly organized social structure. A typical honeybee colony consists of three types of bees: the queen, the workers, and the drones. Each has a specific role that ensures the survival of the hive.
The queen bee is the mother of all bees in the colony. Her primary job is to lay eggs — up to 2,000per day! Worker bees, all female, are responsible for gathering nectar, making honey, and protecting the hive. They also take care of the queen and the young bees. Drones, the male bees, have only one purpose: to mate with a new queen. Once they fulfill this role, they die shortly after.
Bees express their ideas through a unique “waggle dance”. When a worker bee finds a good source of nectar, she returns to the hive and performs this dance to show the direction and distance of the flowers. Scientists believe this dance is one of the most sophisticated forms of insect communication.
Unfortunately, bee populations are declining due to pesticides, habitat loss, and climate change. This is alarming because nearly one-third of the food we eat depends on bee pollination. Without bees, many fruits, vegetables, and nuts could disappear from our diets.
8. What is the main duty of the queen bee
A. To collect nectar from flowers.
B. To produce thousands of eggs daily.
C. To protect the hive from enemies.
D. To perform the waggle dance.
9. How do worker bees communicate the location of food
A. By making loud buzzing sounds.
B. By releasing a special scent.
C. By performing a “waggle dance.”
D. By touching each other’s antennae.
10. What can we infer about drones
A. They live longer than worker bees.
B. They protect the hive from predators.
C. They help in making honey.
D. They are essential for the colony’s reproduction.
11. What is the main purpose of the passage
A. To describe the roles and importance of bees.
B. To explain why bees are disappearing.
C. To argue that bees are the smartest insects.
D. To compare different types of bee colonies.

D
In recent years, a new and exciting technology has emerged — quantum dots. These are tiny semiconductor particles, only a few nanometers in size. To put it into perspective, a human hair is about 80,000 nanometers thick, while quantum dots are typically between 2 to 10 nanometers. Their small size gives them unique optical and electronic properties, making them a hot topic in scientific research.
Scientists have made remarkable findings about quantum dots. Research shows that quantum dots can emit light of different colors depending on their size. Smaller quantum dots emit blue light, while larger ones emit red light. This property is due to the quantum confinement effect. When electrons are confined in such a small space as a quantum dot, their energy levels become discrete, and the energy difference between these levels determines the wavelength of the emitted light. This discovery has opened up new possibilities in many fields.
The methods used to study quantum dots are rather sophisticated, which need proper environment, strict conditions and various techniques. One common technique is chemical synthesis (合成). Scientists create quantum dots in a controlled chemical environment. For example, they use organic solvents (溶剂) and precursor materials. By precisely controlling the reaction conditions such as temperature, reaction time, and the concentration of reactants, they can produce quantum dots with consistent sizes and properties. After synthesis, various characterization techniques are employed. Electron microscopy is used to observe the size and shape of the quantum dots, while spectroscopy helps to analyze their optical properties.
The applications of quantum dots are extensive. In the field of display technology, quantum dots are used to enhance the color accuracy and brightness of TVs and monitors. Quantum dot displays can produce a wider range of colors compared to traditional displays, providing viewers with a more vivid visual experience. In the medical field, they are used as fluorescent labels in biological imaging. Quantum dots can be attached to specific molecules in the body, and when illuminated with light, they emit fluorescence, allowing doctors to observe biological processes at a cellular level more clearly.
Looking ahead, scientists are focused on several research directions. One key area is improving the stability and biocompatibility of quantum dots for medical applications. Although they show great promise in biological imaging, there are concerns about their potential toxicity (毒性). Scientists are also exploring new ways to integrate quantum dots into more complex devices, such as quantum dot-based solar cells. The goal is to develop more efficient and sustainable energy sources using the unique properties of quantum dots.
12. According to the passage, what determines the color of the light emitted by quantum dots
A. The type of organic solvents used in synthesis.
B. The size of the quantum dots.
C. The temperature during the synthesis process.
D. The concentration of reactants.
13. The underlined word “sophisticated” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ________.
A. complex B. simple C. traditional D. new
14. What can we infer from the passage about the future of quantum dots
A. They will replace all traditional display technologies soon.
B. Their use in medical applications will be limited due to toxicity.
C. Scientists will continue to explore their potential in different fields.
D. Quantum dot-based solar cells has been already widely used.
15. What is the main idea of the passage
A. The history of quantum dot development.
B. The properties, research, applications, and future directions of quantum dots.
C. The comparison between quantum dots and traditional materials.
D. The toxicity and safety concerns of quantum dots.

52. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写一段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
The couple, Ella and Ken, lived in a fancy countryside house every summer together with their boys Jim and Dick, aged 7 and 11.
The two kids got on well with each other, unlike some other brothers who would often fight over small things. They shared everything happening in their school and exchanged their favourite toys and books. Except for one thing, cleaning! One sunny morning, Ella called out to her children, “Jim and Dick, it’s time to clean your room!” The kids sighed deeply. Cleaning their room was always the last thing they wanted to do.
Unhappy, Jim and Dick dragged their feet into their messy room. Toys were thrown randomly here and there on the floor, clothes were piled up on chairs, and books were haphazardly(随意的) piled on the shelves. It was a total mess!
Mom came in, “Oh, God! How come We need to work together to clean it up.” Jim and Dick exchanged looks, clearly not delighted with the task at hand. There were a few arguments between them, especially when it came to cleaning their room.
Mom, realizing their unwillingness, said to the kids, “A clean room not only looks nice but also helps us arrange our life in an orderly way. It’s important to take care of our belongings and keep our surroundings clean.” The boys didn’t respond, seemingly thinking about something.
Their father happened to hear the conversation and decided to give them a hand. He came up with a good idea. He said, “I know that cleaning can be dull, but what if we change it into a fun contest The winner, who can find the most interesting item hidden in this messy room, will decide what we have for dessert tonight!”

Jim started digging through the piles of clothes, while Dick began searching among the scattered toys. Their eyes were wide with excitement, and they moved with renewed energy. Jim discovered an old toy car and Dick found a forgotten album. Each discovery brought a smile to their faces. Meanwhile, the room became less messy gradually. As they continued their search, the toys were neatly placed back in their boxes, clothes were folded and put away, and books were arranged on the shelves. The once messy room was slowly transformed into a tidy and organized space. By the time they finished, not only had they found several interesting items, but they had also learned the value of teamwork and the satisfaction of a job well done. / It helped them realize that even house cleaning could be turned into fun and rewarding experiences. /Their father was proud of their efforts and promised a delicious dessert.2024~2025学年度第二学期期中学情调研高一英语试题

Carl Allamby started his car repair business at the tender age of 19. Over the years, it had grown into two shops with 11 workers, but Allamby had become uneasy, longing for something more. Therefore, at the age of 34, he decided to go for his bachelor’s degree in business management.
After taking classes part-time over the next five years, Allamby was told he had to take biology to get his degree, which later turned out to be the best thing that ever happened. Biology classes reawakened a childhood dream that he had hidden somewhere deep within himself.
Born in East Cleveland, Ohio, Allamby was raised by his stay-at-home mother and a father who sold home goods door-to-door. His school didn’t offer the advanced science classes that might have led him on a premed (医学预科的) path. Even if it had, doing well in school could prove dangerous. “You could get into a lot of trouble just for being the class nerd (讨厌的人),” Allamby said. So he set aside the thoughts of becoming a doctor and started fixing cars instead.
But a different Carl Allamby walked into that biology class at age 39. He was ready to live his dream. With the support of his family he soon decided to skip business school to take science classes. Becoming a doctor was late and he would become a nurse instead, he reasoned. But Allamby’s chemistry professor told him “Why not a doctor You have a great talent for the work. You will go a long way.” The professor was right and Allamby did very well.
In 2015, Allamby cut ties with his past, and then he started at Northeast Ohio Medical University. In 2019, Carl Allamby became Carl Allamby, MD. He took a job in emergency medicine at Cleveland Clinic Akron General.
“How many people can do something so brand-new at such a late stage in their life ” he said. “My age and past career are all good reasons why I shouldn’t be here. And yet, here I am.”
4. Why was taking biology “the best thing that ever happened” to Allamby

Bees are among the most fascinating insects on Earth. Not only do they play a crucial role in pollinating plants, but they also have a highly organized social structure. A typical honeybee colony consists of three types of bees: the queen, the workers, and the drones. Each has a specific role that ensures the survival of the hive.
The queen bee is the mother of all bees in the colony. Her primary job is to lay eggs — up to 2,000per day! Worker bees, all female, are responsible for gathering nectar, making honey, and protecting the hive. They also take care of the queen and the young bees. Drones, the male bees, have only one purpose: to mate with a new queen. Once they fulfill this role, they die shortly after.
Bees express their ideas through a unique “waggle dance”. When a worker bee finds a good source of nectar, she returns to the hive and performs this dance to show the direction and distance of the flowers. Scientists believe this dance is one of the most sophisticated forms of insect communication.
Unfortunately, bee populations are declining due to pesticides, habitat loss, and climate change. This is alarming because nearly one-third of the food we eat depends on bee pollination. Without bees, many fruits, vegetables, and nuts could disappear from our diets.
8. What is the main duty of the queen bee
A. To collect nectar from flowers.
B. To produce thousands of eggs daily.
C. To protect the hive from enemies.
D. To perform the waggle dance.
9. How do worker bees communicate the location of food
A. By making loud buzzing sounds.
B. By releasing a special scent.
C. By performing a “waggle dance.”
D. By touching each other’s antennae.
10. What can we infer about drones
A. They live longer than worker bees.
B. They protect the hive from predators.
C. They help in making honey.
D. They are essential for the colony’s reproduction.
11. What is the main purpose of the passage
A. To describe the roles and importance of bees.
B. To explain why bees are disappearing.
C. To argue that bees are the smartest insects.
D. To compare different types of bee colonies.
D
In recent years, a new and exciting technology has emerged — quantum dots. These are tiny semiconductor particles, only a few nanometers in size. To put it into perspective, a human hair is about 80,000 nanometers thick, while quantum dots are typically between 2 to 10 nanometers. Their small size gives them unique optical and electronic properties, making them a hot topic in scientific research.
Scientists have made remarkable findings about quantum dots. Research shows that quantum dots can emit light of different colors depending on their size. Smaller quantum dots emit blue light, while larger ones emit red light. This property is due to the quantum confinement effect. When electrons are confined in such a small space as a quantum dot, their energy levels become discrete, and the energy difference between these levels determines the wavelength of the emitted light. This discovery has opened up new possibilities in many fields.
The methods used to study quantum dots are rather sophisticated, which need proper environment, strict conditions and various techniques. One common technique is chemical synthesis (合成). Scientists create quantum dots in a controlled chemical environment. For example, they use organic solvents (溶剂) and precursor materials. By precisely controlling the reaction conditions such as temperature, reaction time, and the concentration of reactants, they can produce quantum dots with consistent sizes and properties. After synthesis, various characterization techniques are employed. Electron microscopy is used to observe the size and shape of the quantum dots, while spectroscopy helps to analyze their optical properties.
The applications of quantum dots are extensive. In the field of display technology, quantum dots are used to enhance the color accuracy and brightness of TVs and monitors. Quantum dot displays can produce a wider range of colors compared to traditional displays, providing viewers with a more vivid visual experience. In the medical field, they are used as fluorescent labels in biological imaging. Quantum dots can be attached to specific molecules in the body, and when illuminated with light, they emit fluorescence, allowing doctors to observe biological processes at a cellular level more clearly.
Looking ahead, scientists are focused on several research directions. One key area is improving the stability and biocompatibility of quantum dots for medical applications. Although they show great promise in biological imaging, there are concerns about their potential toxicity (毒性). Scientists are also exploring new ways to integrate quantum dots into more complex devices, such as quantum dot-based solar cells. The goal is to develop more efficient and sustainable energy sources using the unique properties of quantum dots.
12. According to the passage, what determines the color of the light emitted by quantum dots
A. The type of organic solvents used in synthesis.
B. The size of the quantum dots.
C. The temperature during the synthesis process.
D. The concentration of reactants.
13. The underlined word “sophisticated” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ________.
A. complex B. simple C. traditional D. new
14. What can we infer from the passage about the future of quantum dots
A. They will replace all traditional display technologies soon.
B. Their use in medical applications will be limited due to toxicity.
C. Scientists will continue to explore their potential in different fields.
D. Quantum dot-based solar cells has been already widely used.
15. What is the main idea of the passage
A. The history of quantum dot development.
B. The properties, research, applications, and future directions of quantum dots.
C. The comparison between quantum dots and traditional materials.
D. The toxicity and safety concerns of quantum dots.

The couple, Ella and Ken, lived in a fancy countryside house every summer together with their boys Jim and Dick, aged 7 and 11.
The two kids got on well with each other, unlike some other brothers who would often fight over small things. They shared everything happening in their school and exchanged their favourite toys and books. Except for one thing, cleaning! One sunny morning, Ella called out to her children, “Jim and Dick, it’s time to clean your room!” The kids sighed deeply. Cleaning their room was always the last thing they wanted to do.
Unhappy, Jim and Dick dragged their feet into their messy room. Toys were thrown randomly here and there on the floor, clothes were piled up on chairs, and books were haphazardly(随意的) piled on the shelves. It was a total mess!
Mom came in, “Oh, God! How come We need to work together to clean it up.” Jim and Dick exchanged looks, clearly not delighted with the task at hand. There were a few arguments between them, especially when it came to cleaning their room.
Mom, realizing their unwillingness, said to the kids, “A clean room not only looks nice but also helps us arrange our life in an orderly way. It’s important to take care of our belongings and keep our surroundings clean.” The boys didn’t respond, seemingly thinking about something.
Their father happened to hear the conversation and decided to give them a hand. He came up with a good idea. He said, “I know that cleaning can be dull, but what if we change it into a fun contest The winner, who can find the most interesting item hidden in this messy room, will decide what we have for dessert tonight!”
注意：
1.续写词数应为80左右；
