Ⅲ.主题语篇阅读(共4小题；每小题2.5分，满分10分)
If you find yourself crossing one of London’s busy bridges and look down，you may notice that the height of the Thames changes over the course of the day.When the tide(潮水) is out，you may see people move down hidden stairs to walk slowly along the foreshore(前滩)．These are “mudlarks”—and they play a key role in preserving the history of the Thames by picking up objects and artifacts(手工艺品) hidden in the river’s mud.
Walking along the foreshore of the Thames is not everyone’s idea of a hobby—it can be cold and dirty.When the tide turns，it turns fast.You must always be aware of your way off the foreshore.The mud is another hazard.A more experienced mudlark said he had once fallen into the mud.He was lucky to have a bucket to move out the mud.
Historically，being a mudlark was a low station in life.The term came about in the 18th and 19th centuries when the Thames was one of the major ways to transport goods into the city.At this time，the banks of the river would be full of mudlarks，mostly poor women and children.As the tide dropped，they would walk into the mud to pick up lumps of coal，pieces of rope or anything else careless boatmen had dropped overboard that they could sell.
Mudlarking is experiencing a renaissance(复兴)．It has never been easier for people to explore the Thames: anyone looking for inspiration just has to follow the mudlarking posts on the Internet.The Thames Discovery Programme，a group of historians and volunteers，run guided tours of the foreshore where experts guide you and ensure that you stay safe and stick to Port of London Authority rules.

1．Why do people go mudlarking these days
A．To take more exercise. B．To keep the river clean.
C．To find historical objects. D．To study how the tide changes.
答案 C
解析 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“These are ‘mudlarks’—and they play a key role in preserving the history of the Thames by picking up objects and artifacts(手工艺品) hidden in the river’s mud.”可知，现在人们去进行泥泞寻宝是为了寻找历史物品。故选C。
2．What does the underlined word “hazard” in paragraph 2 mean
A．Power. B．Danger.
C．Attraction. D．Waste.
答案 B
解析 词义猜测题。根据画线词前文“it can be cold and dirty...be aware of your way off the foreshore”可知，泥泞寻宝有危险。结合后文“A more experienced mudlark said he had once fallen into the mud.”可知，泥是又一个危险因素。故画线词意思是“危险”。故选B。
3．Which of the following best describes mudlarking in the 18th and 19th centuries
A．It was considered as a hobby.
B．It was loved by most people.
C．It promoted the development of transport.

4．What is the purpose of the guided tour of the foreshore
A．To give support to mudlarks.
B．To test mudlarks’ working skills.
C．To inspire mudlarks’ love for art.
D．To encourage mudlarks to volunteer.

Ⅳ.七选五(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
(2025·广东肇庆高一上期中)
Natural disasters can strike at any time，and schools are no exception.Here are some steps for students to take to survive when a natural disaster hits schools.
1 Every student should have a personal emergency kit that includes essential items such as a flashlight，batteries，a first-aid kit，water，and non-perishable food.Keeping this kit at hand can ensure students are always prepared.
Practice regular drills.Regular disaster drills are just as important as fire drills.They help students learn what to do in real emergency situations.Schools should conduct such drills regularly to ensure that students know what to do when a real disaster comes. 2
Identify safe areas.Knowing where safe zones are in the school can be a lifesaver. 3 Examples include hallways，under desks，or designated shelter areas.These areas should be predetermined within the school and they can provide the best protection during different types of disasters.
Understand the risk types. 4 For example，coastal areas are more likely to experience hurricanes，and landslides are a threat in mountainous areas.Therefore，schools should teach students knowledge about the specific type of threat in their local area so that they can take appropriate action during a disaster.
Take action in different situations.Students should stay calm and take immediate action based on different situations.For example，during a tornado，they should move to the lowest floor of the building and take cover under stable furniture. 5 Earthquakes require us to drop to the ground，take cover under a table，and hold on until the shake stops.
By following these steps，students can increase their chances of survival and minimize the impact.
A．Offer immediate care.
B．Prepare an emergency kit.
C．Different areas may face different types of natural disasters.
D．In the event of a flood，students should move to higher grounds.
E．After a disaster，schools should check on all students and staff.
F．These drills will help students react quickly and minimize the risk.
G．When a disaster hits，students should head to the nearest safe area quickly.
1．答案 B
解析 空格处是该段的主题句。根据下文内容可知，本段主要是说每个学生都应该准备一个应急包。所以，B项“准备一个应急包”可以作为主题句。故选B项。
2．答案 F
解析 根据空格前的句子可知，学校应该进行定期的灾难演练。空格处的句子应该接着说这些演练的意义。所以，F项“这些演练将帮助学生快速反应并将风险降到最低”符合语境。故选F项。
3．答案 G
解析 空格前的句子说明了确定安全区域的意义，空格处的句子应该接着说当灾难发生时，学生应该怎样利用安全区域。所以，G项“当灾难发生时，学生应迅速前往最近的安全区域”符合语境。故选G项。
4．答案 C
解析 根据空格前的句子可知，要了解风险的类型，空格后内容列举了不同地区的不同风险类型，故空格处承上启下，应该提到不同地区有不同的自然灾害。所以，C项“不同的地区可能面临不同类型的自然灾害”符合语境。故选C项。
5．答案 D
解析 根据该部分的主题句“Take action in different situations.”和空格前后的例子可知，空格处的句子也应该是涉及某种自然灾害和面对这种灾害时的正确做法。所以，D项“万一发生洪水，学生们应该转移到地势较高的地方去”符合语境。故选D项。
Ⅴ.完形填空(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分)
