广东省茂名市田家炳中学2024-2025学年高一上学期期中考试英语试题
一、A
（2024高一上·茂名期中）Tenerife might seem like a small island in the Atlantic Ocean, but you will be surprised by how diverse and beautiful it is. There are lots of unique places in Tenerife, so be ready to explore!
Mount Teide
Mount Teide, a famous volcano, is the tallest peak (峰) in Spain and a UNESCO world heritage site. Several routes can lead one to the peak of Mount Teide. While permits are required to hike the mountain, you can have an easier choice—an eight-minute cable car (缆车) that takes you far enough up the top for appreciating views. Be sure to wear comfortable shoes and a jacket as it can get cold.
Siam Park
The famous Siam Park was named as the best water park in the world for the second year in a row. You can visit the park at any time of the year, as the pools are heated to a comfortable 24 Celsius. Be sure to choose a sunny day for your visit if you're heading over in winter.
Casa de Los Balcones
A visit to the Casa de Los Balcones might be a great idea if you're looking for a first class cultural adventure. It's a 17th century house with fine carved wooden balconies. The inside has a typical patio (露台) that shows the islands' handmade traditions.
Playa de Benijo
Playa de Benijo is one of the fascinating beaches in Tenerife. The surface is a large area of black sand with rocky areas mixed in between. The volcanic sand covering the beach, as well as the rocks and the cliffs (悬崖), makes Playa de Benijo a destination for landscape photographers. If you have the chance—go there!

As you know, I'm a lonely old man without a wife or a kid. To add to that, two years ago, my dad died of cancer. After his death, I was left alone in my home. You don't see me outside often anymore. Every day was spent just sitting around and wondering what I have done for this world until I met Smokey, Oreo and Jennifer. Your pets are the cutest, funniest and most troublesome (in a good way, don't worry) individuals. They gave me the motivation to restart my life again. I started waking up early in the mornings. I began to take walks outside with your pets for the first time in years. Whenever I felt sad, they would bark or rub against my leg and make me laugh. The highlight of their stay was when I took them to the park. It was the longest time I've spent outside in a while. It didn't just bring back pet interaction; I also met other people, started talking and made some friends. I was so happy to finally be able to interact with others again, and feel like I'm part of the human race. Anyway, thank you so much. You brought back meaning to my life. That's all that matters."
Many Reddit users felt emotional reading the letter and shared their responses online. One commented, "We all get busy with our lives and don't realize the power a small act of kindness can do."

（2024高一上·茂名期中）When Jack, my husband, and I drove past a fire station with a sign reading, "Are you ready for the next storm " Our area had just been in the path of Hurricane Irma, causing downed trees and outages. We were stuck in the dark and cut off from the outside world.
We have had our share of storms in the past years — a snowstorm and other heavy snows that knocked down trees, sometimes up to a week at a time. Those days in a cold house weren't fun, but we learned so much from those early storms, things that made later storms easier to bear.
Now we have stored up flashlights, lanterns and candles. We bought a battery-operated radio to keep up with the news. We stocked up on batteries so that we'd have plenty for extended power failures. We make sure our grill (烤架) is ready and its tank is full, and we purchase food that can be easily prepared and then cooked or heated on the grill. And we don't forget to buy emergency chocolate! We have book lights to read in the dark. We keep our car gas tanks full and have emergency cash on hand.
We're ready for the next storm, but we wouldn't have learned to do all those things if we hadn't encountered a storm in the past. The same is true spiritually. Those little storms in our lives are never fun, but they prepare us for the big storms — the big trials — that will come our way. They can teach us some valuable lessons.
Are you ready for the next storm Now is the time to get ready, not when the storm arrives.
8．Which can replace the underlined word "outages" in paragraph 1

D．The preparations the author made for emergency.
10．What does the author think of experiencing the past storms
A．It was instructive. B．It was satisfactory.
C．It was unbearable. D．It was destructive.
11．What can we learn from the author's story
A．Strike while the iron is hot.
B．Take precautions before it is too late.
C．Kill two birds with one stone.
D．Where there's smoke, there's fire.
四、D
（2024高一上·茂名期中）The 187-foot-tall Tower of Pisa is famous all over the world mainly because it leans (倾斜). For many years, people believed that the tower's designer intended it to lean. As it turns out, though, the tower's lean is an accident caused by poor planning. The Tower of Pisa was constructed (建造) on a riverbed of sand and clay (黏土) that was not strong enough to support a building so tall and heavy.
Construction of the tower began in 1173. Because Pisa experienced several wars, the tower wasn't completed until 1350. Only a few years after the construction started, people could see that the first three floors of the tower were already leaning. As the next three floors were added, builders purposefully built them with one side higher than the other to try to correct the lean. This resulted in the tower leaning in the opposite direction
Fortunately for the people of Pisa, the long delays (耽搁) during construction gave the structure time to settle and the ground to become compacted (结实的). This mad the foundation (地基) stronger over time, which is the main reason why the tower never fell over. For hundreds of years, the tower was indeed falling. It would lean one more inch about every 20 years. In the end, in 1990, it was closed to the public for fear that a large group of people at the top would weigh enough to make it fall down.
From 1990 to 2001, engineers from around the world helped balance the tower After several unsuccessful attempts at a solution, engineers finally came up with a plan that worked. They slowly removed ground under the high side of the tower. When they had finished, they had returned it to the position it held in about 1838—the tower had been straightened by nearly 16 inches. Except a sudden great disaster, such as a earthquake, engineers believe the tower is safe for another 300 years now.
12．What does the author try to explain about the Tower of Pisa in Paragraph 1
A．Why it leans. B．Why it was built.
C．Why it is famous. D．Why it stopped leaning.
13．What can we learn about the Tower of Pisa
A．It was completed in 1173. B．It began to be built in 1350.
C．It was seen leaning after 1173. D．It was repaired every 20 years.
14．What kept the Tower of Pisa from falling down according to Paragraph 3
A．The special structure. B．The timely protection.
C．The skill of the builders. D．The long time of building.
15．What would be the best title for the text
A．When does the Tower of Pisa lean
B．Is the leaning Tower of Pisa falling
C．When was the leaning Tower of Pisa built
D．How did the leaning Tower of Pisa get its name

【知识点】推理判断题；细节理解题；说明文；科普类；标题选择
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了比萨斜塔闻名世界主要因其倾斜，阐述其倾斜是规划不当的意外，讲述建造过程因战争耽搁以及为纠正倾斜所做的尝试，说明长期耽搁使地基变结实而未倒塌，还提及因倾斜曾关闭以及后来工程师通过移除高侧下方地面使其恢复一定直立状态，如今工程师认为除非突发重大灾难，比萨斜塔可再安全存在300年 。
【店铺】本题考点涉及细节理解，推理判断和标题归纳三个题型的考查，是一篇科普类阅读，要求考生在捕捉细节信息的基础上，进一步根据上下文的逻辑关系，进行分析，推理，概括和归纳，从而选出正确答案。
12．推理判断题。根据第一段中"As it turns out, though, the tower's lean is an accident caused by poor planning. The Tower of Pisa was constructed (建造) on a riverbed of sand and clay (黏土) that was not strong enough to support a building so tall and heavy."然而，事实证明，这座塔的倾斜是由于规划不当造成的意外。比萨斜塔是建在沙土河床上的，河床不够坚固，支撑不了这么高这么重的建筑。可推知，在第一段中，作者试图解释比萨斜塔为什么会倾斜——地基不够牢固，无法支撑那么高的建筑。故选A。
13．细节理解题。根据第二段中的"Construction of the tower began in 1173. Because Pisa experienced several wars, the tower wasn't completed until 1350. Only a few years after the construction started, people could see that the first three floors of the tower were already leaning."这座塔始建于1173年。由于比萨经历了几次战争，这座塔直到1350年才完工。在开始建设的几年后，人们可以看到塔的前三层已经倾斜了。可知，比萨斜塔在1173年建造开始后的头几年里就被发现有倾斜的迹象。故选C。
14．细节理解题。根据第三段中"Fortunately for the people of Pisa, the long delays (耽搁) during construction gave the structure time to settle and the ground to become compacted (结实的). This mad the foundation (地基) stronger over time, which is the main reason why the tower never fell over."对比萨人来说幸运的是，施工过程中的长时间延误使结构有时间稳定下来，地面也变得密实。随着时间的推移，这使得基础更加坚固，这就是塔从未倒塌的主要原因。可知，比萨斜塔之所以在这种情况下屹然不倒是因为它的建造时间较长，使得地基夯实得较为坚固。故选D。
15．标题归纳题。根据第一段"The 187-foot-tall Tower of Pisa is famous all over the world mainly because it leans (倾斜). For many years, people believed that the tower's designer intended it to lean. As it turns out, though, the tower's lean is an accident caused by poor planning. The Tower of Pisa was constructed (建造) on a riverbed of sand and clay (黏土) that was not strong enough to support a building so tall and heavy."187英尺高的比萨斜塔因其倾斜而闻名于世。多年来，人们认为这座塔的设计者有意让它倾斜。然而，事实证明，这座塔的倾斜是由于规划不当造成的意外。比萨斜塔是建在沙土河床上的，河床不够坚固，支撑不了这么高这么重的建筑；结合全文可知，本文围绕着比萨斜塔为什么会倾斜以及人们怎么确保它不会倒下而进行说明的。"比萨斜塔要倒了吗？"适合作本文标题。故选B。

I'm Li Hua from Class 3. I think it's not a good idea to cancel playing music to make students go on studying after class. The reasons are as follows.

My suggestion is to play some soft and peaceful music instead of loud music and to play half of the class break. In this way, we can have a good rest as well as enjoy music, which can help us be fully prepared for the next class.
Thank you for considering my suggestion.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua

1 / 1广东省茂名市田家炳中学2024-2025学年高一上学期期中考试英语试题
一、A
（2024高一上·茂名期中）Tenerife might seem like a small island in the Atlantic Ocean, but you will be surprised by how diverse and beautiful it is. There are lots of unique places in Tenerife, so be ready to explore!
Mount Teide
Mount Teide, a famous volcano, is the tallest peak (峰) in Spain and a UNESCO world heritage site. Several routes can lead one to the peak of Mount Teide. While permits are required to hike the mountain, you can have an easier choice—an eight-minute cable car (缆车) that takes you far enough up the top for appreciating views. Be sure to wear comfortable shoes and a jacket as it can get cold.
Siam Park
The famous Siam Park was named as the best water park in the world for the second year in a row. You can visit the park at any time of the year, as the pools are heated to a comfortable 24 Celsius. Be sure to choose a sunny day for your visit if you're heading over in winter.
Casa de Los Balcones
A visit to the Casa de Los Balcones might be a great idea if you're looking for a first class cultural adventure. It's a 17th century house with fine carved wooden balconies. The inside has a typical patio (露台) that shows the islands' handmade traditions.
Playa de Benijo
Playa de Benijo is one of the fascinating beaches in Tenerife. The surface is a large area of black sand with rocky areas mixed in between. The volcanic sand covering the beach, as well as the rocks and the cliffs (悬崖), makes Playa de Benijo a destination for landscape photographers. If you have the chance—go there!

Every day was spent just sitting around and wondering what I have done for this world until I met Smokey, Oreo and Jennifer. Your pets are the cutest, funniest and most troublesome (in a good way, don't worry) individuals. They gave me the motivation to restart my life again. I started waking up early in the mornings. I began to take walks outside with your pets for the first time in years. Whenever I felt sad, they would bark or rub against my leg and make me laugh. The highlight of their stay was when I took them to the park. It was the longest time I've spent outside in a while. It didn't just bring back pet interaction; I also met other people, started talking and made some friends. I was so happy to finally be able to interact with others again, and feel like I'm part of the human race. Anyway, thank you so much. You brought back meaning to my life. That's all that matters."
Many Reddit users felt emotional reading the letter and shared their responses online. One commented, "We all get busy with our lives and don't realize the power a small act of kindness can do."

（2024高一上·茂名期中）When Jack, my husband, and I drove past a fire station with a sign reading, "Are you ready for the next storm " Our area had just been in the path of Hurricane Irma, causing downed trees and outages. We were stuck in the dark and cut off from the outside world.
We have had our share of storms in the past years — a snowstorm and other heavy snows that knocked down trees, sometimes up to a week at a time. Those days in a cold house weren't fun, but we learned so much from those early storms, things that made later storms easier to bear.
Now we have stored up flashlights, lanterns and candles. We bought a battery-operated radio to keep up with the news. We stocked up on batteries so that we'd have plenty for extended power failures. We make sure our grill (烤架) is ready and its tank is full, and we purchase food that can be easily prepared and then cooked or heated on the grill. And we don't forget to buy emergency chocolate! We have book lights to read in the dark. We keep our car gas tanks full and have emergency cash on hand.
We're ready for the next storm, but we wouldn't have learned to do all those things if we hadn't encountered a storm in the past. The same is true spiritually. Those little storms in our lives are never fun, but they prepare us for the big storms — the big trials — that will come our way. They can teach us some valuable lessons.
Are you ready for the next storm Now is the time to get ready, not when the storm arrives.

【知识点】推理判断题；词义猜测题；段落大意；人生百味类；夹叙夹议
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文，讲述了作者一家为应对风暴所做的物质准备，引出生活中的小困难能为我们应对更大的挑战做准备的观点，并提醒人们要在困难来临前就做好准备 。
【点评】本题考点涉及推理判断，词义猜测和段落大意三个题型的考查，是一篇人生感悟类，首先要仔细阅读短文，掌握大意，然后结合具体的题目，再读短文，从中找出相关信息，就可以确定正确答案。
8．词义猜测题。根据第一段中的"Our area had just been in the path of Hurricane Irma, causing downed trees "我们所在的地区刚刚在飓风厄玛的路径中，这导致树木倒塌；以及"We were stuck in the dark and cut off from the outside world." 我们被困在黑暗中，与外界隔绝。可知，作者和丈夫所在的地区刚刚受到飓风厄玛的袭击，导致树木倒下，他们被困在黑暗中，与外界失去联系。由"stuck in the dark"可推知，划线词outages是指"电力中断"，故选B。
9．段落大意题。根据第三段中"Now we have stored up flashlights, lanterns and candles. We bought a battery-operated radio to keep up with the news. We stocked up on batteries so that we'd have plenty for extended power failures. We make sure our grill (烤架) is ready and its tank is full, and we purchase food that can be easily prepared and then cooked or heated on the grill. And we don't forget to buy emergency chocolate! We have book lights to read in the dark. We keep our car gas tanks full and have emergency cash on hand."现在我们已经储存了手电筒、灯笼和蜡烛。 我们买了一台电池供电的收音机来收听新闻。 我们储备了电池，以便我们有足够的时间来应对长时间的电源故障。 我们确保我们的烤架已经准备好并且它的水箱是满的，我们购买的食物可以很容易地准备好，然后在烤架上烹饪或加热。 我们不要忘记购买紧急巧克力！ 我们有书灯可以在黑暗中阅读。 我们将汽车油箱装满，并备有应急现金)"可知，经历了以前的暴风雨之后，作者随时准备了照明用的东西、电池，还有烤架、食物，汽车油箱也加满了油，手头还有应急现金。可知，第三段主要讲述了作者为以后的暴风雨所做的准备。故选D。
10．推理判断题。根据第四段中的"but we wouldn't have learned to do all those things if we hadn't encountered a storm in the past. "但如果我们过去没有遇到风暴，我们就不会学会做所有这些事情；以及"They can teach us some valuable lessons. "他们可以教给我们一些宝贵的经验。可推知，作者认为曾经经历过的暴风雨对他们是有益的。故选A。
11．推理判断题。根据最后一段中的"Now is the time to get ready, not when the storm arrives. "现在就是做好准备的时候了，而不是等到暴风雨来临的时候。可推知，作者认为现在要为以后的暴风雨做准备，而不是当暴风雨来临的时候才准备。可推知，作者的故事告诉我们一定要未雨绸缪。故选B。
四、D
（2024高一上·茂名期中）The 187-foot-tall Tower of Pisa is famous all over the world mainly because it leans (倾斜). For many years, people believed that the tower's designer intended it to lean. As it turns out, though, the tower's lean is an accident caused by poor planning. The Tower of Pisa was constructed (建造) on a riverbed of sand and clay (黏土) that was not strong enough to support a building so tall and heavy.
Construction of the tower began in 1173. Because Pisa experienced several wars, the tower wasn't completed until 1350. Only a few years after the construction started, people could see that the first three floors of the tower were already leaning. As the next three floors were added, builders purposefully built them with one side higher than the other to try to correct the lean. This resulted in the tower leaning in the opposite direction
Fortunately for the people of Pisa, the long delays (耽搁) during construction gave the structure time to settle and the ground to become compacted (结实的). This mad the foundation (地基) stronger over time, which is the main reason why the tower never fell over. For hundreds of years, the tower was indeed falling. It would lean one more inch about every 20 years. In the end, in 1990, it was closed to the public for fear that a large group of people at the top would weigh enough to make it fall down.
From 1990 to 2001, engineers from around the world helped balance the tower After several unsuccessful attempts at a solution, engineers finally came up with a plan that worked. They slowly removed ground under the high side of the tower. When they had finished, they had returned it to the position it held in about 1838—the tower had been straightened by nearly 16 inches. Except a sudden great disaster, such as a earthquake, engineers believe the tower is safe for another 300 years now.
12．What does the author try to explain about the Tower of Pisa in Paragraph 1
A．Why it leans. B．Why it was built.
C．Why it is famous. D．Why it stopped leaning.
13．What can we learn about the Tower of Pisa
A．It was completed in 1173. B．It began to be built in 1350.
C．It was seen leaning after 1173. D．It was repaired every 20 years.
14．What kept the Tower of Pisa from falling down according to Paragraph 3
A．The special structure. B．The timely protection.
C．The skill of the builders. D．The long time of building.
15．What would be the best title for the text
A．When does the Tower of Pisa lean
B．Is the leaning Tower of Pisa falling
C．When was the leaning Tower of Pisa built
D．How did the leaning Tower of Pisa get its name
【答案】12．A

【知识点】推理判断题；细节理解题；说明文；科普类；标题选择
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了比萨斜塔闻名世界主要因其倾斜，阐述其倾斜是规划不当的意外，讲述建造过程因战争耽搁以及为纠正倾斜所做的尝试，说明长期耽搁使地基变结实而未倒塌，还提及因倾斜曾关闭以及后来工程师通过移除高侧下方地面使其恢复一定直立状态，如今工程师认为除非突发重大灾难，比萨斜塔可再安全存在300年 。
【店铺】本题考点涉及细节理解，推理判断和标题归纳三个题型的考查，是一篇科普类阅读，要求考生在捕捉细节信息的基础上，进一步根据上下文的逻辑关系，进行分析，推理，概括和归纳，从而选出正确答案。
12．推理判断题。根据第一段中"As it turns out, though, the tower's lean is an accident caused by poor planning. The Tower of Pisa was constructed (建造) on a riverbed of sand and clay (黏土) that was not strong enough to support a building so tall and heavy."然而，事实证明，这座塔的倾斜是由于规划不当造成的意外。比萨斜塔是建在沙土河床上的，河床不够坚固，支撑不了这么高这么重的建筑。可推知，在第一段中，作者试图解释比萨斜塔为什么会倾斜——地基不够牢固，无法支撑那么高的建筑。故选A。
13．细节理解题。根据第二段中的"Construction of the tower began in 1173. Because Pisa experienced several wars, the tower wasn't completed until 1350. Only a few years after the construction started, people could see that the first three floors of the tower were already leaning."这座塔始建于1173年。由于比萨经历了几次战争，这座塔直到1350年才完工。在开始建设的几年后，人们可以看到塔的前三层已经倾斜了。可知，比萨斜塔在1173年建造开始后的头几年里就被发现有倾斜的迹象。故选C。
14．细节理解题。根据第三段中"Fortunately for the people of Pisa, the long delays (耽搁) during construction gave the structure time to settle and the ground to become compacted (结实的). This mad the foundation (地基) stronger over time, which is the main reason why the tower never fell over."对比萨人来说幸运的是，施工过程中的长时间延误使结构有时间稳定下来，地面也变得密实。随着时间的推移，这使得基础更加坚固，这就是塔从未倒塌的主要原因。可知，比萨斜塔之所以在这种情况下屹然不倒是因为它的建造时间较长，使得地基夯实得较为坚固。故选D。
15．标题归纳题。根据第一段"The 187-foot-tall Tower of Pisa is famous all over the world mainly because it leans (倾斜). For many years, people believed that the tower's designer intended it to lean. As it turns out, though, the tower's lean is an accident caused by poor planning. The Tower of Pisa was constructed (建造) on a riverbed of sand and clay (黏土) that was not strong enough to support a building so tall and heavy."187英尺高的比萨斜塔因其倾斜而闻名于世。多年来，人们认为这座塔的设计者有意让它倾斜。然而，事实证明，这座塔的倾斜是由于规划不当造成的意外。比萨斜塔是建在沙土河床上的，河床不够坚固，支撑不了这么高这么重的建筑；结合全文可知，本文围绕着比萨斜塔为什么会倾斜以及人们怎么确保它不会倒下而进行说明的。"比萨斜塔要倒了吗？"适合作本文标题。故选B。

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Dear Sir,
I'm Li Hua from Class 3. I think it's not a good idea to cancel playing music to make students go on studying after class. The reasons are as follows.
To begin with, cancelling playing music between classes to make us continue studying may lead us to be overtired and stressed. Besides, students may feel bored or less motivated if they are forced to study all the time. These can hinder the progress of students as they can't get enough relaxation.
My suggestion is to play some soft and peaceful music instead of loud music and to play half of the class break. In this way, we can have a good rest as well as enjoy music, which can help us be fully prepared for the next class.
Thank you for considering my suggestion.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
