Once all this preflight work was finished, the actual spacewalk was easy and completed in a short time可知，作者为这次太空之旅做了充分的准备。补充：在阿波罗15号返程途中，沃尔登会进行第一次太空行走，这是为了取回服务舱外科学设备舱中的胶片，将其带到指挥舱，以便它们能在返回地球的途中保存下来。
25.C。理解词汇。根据第三段中的because I was then completely dependent on the pressure ... but this was for real and I had to do it just right可知，虽然作者在地球上曾经接受过很多次类似的训练，但是这毕竟是一次真正的出舱行动，所以他还是有点害怕。

Berlin thought it was a good idea. When the two brothers reached an agreement, they quickly ran back to their grandparents’ house, got the tools they needed to make the cane, and ran back to the woods. Jack said, “What kind of tree should we pick for the walking stick ” Berlin thought for a moment and said, “I think we should choose a straight tree, so no knots will scratch Grandpa’s hands.” Jack nodded his head in agreement. They found a straight tree and set to work. They cut the tree down, and with a knife they took the bark off. It was a wonderful tree, which was smooth and was just of the right size (which引导非限制性定语从句). They thought Grandpa would love it.
Jack and Berlin handed the cane to Grandpa. When Grandpa took the cane, his hands shook with joy, thinking, “This is made by my grandsons themselves. How precious it is!” Jack said, “Grandpa, we hope this cane will help you stand up and come with us to explore the woods.” Grandpa smiled and decided to give it a try so as not to make his grandchildren disappointed. He held the cane in his right hand and the arm of his chair in his left hand. He stood up with strength on his legs (with复合结构). Everyone was surprised and excited to see Grandpa stand up. At that moment, Jack noticed a tear coming from the corner of his grandma’s eye. 听力

W: Hello, everyone. Today we’ll talk about American festivals. Like all nations, the United States has many festivals. The most famous must be Christmas, which is a Christian festival celebrated all over the world now. Besides, all Americans enjoy the national holidays of Thanksgiving, Independence Day and Labor Day. Thanksgiving, the fourth Thursday in November, celebrates the first harvest of the original European settlers back in 1621, and president Lincoln declared Thanksgiving a national holiday in 1863. Independence Day is the celebration of America’s independence from the British in 1776. Americans set off fireworks at outdoor picnics and barbecues so as to celebrate the event. Labor Day, the first Monday in September, honors the workers of the land. Like Independence Day, Labor Day is a time for outdoor picnics and barbecues, and it marks the end of the summer season. Celebrations of other nation’s historic days are quite common in America. An example of one holiday is Cinco de Mayo. It celebrates Mexican independence from French in 1862. People hold parades and outdoor fairs in cities to show rich Mexican culture.2024年秋季期中联考高二年英语科试卷

Street markets around the world
Do you want to buy a new pair of sunglasses The latest CD Or something for your dinner this evening Nowadays, you can shop by telephone or through your home computer; but for many people, the most exciting way to shop is also the most traditional — at a street market. You can find markets anywhere in the world — here are five of them:
Every weekend, thousands of young people from all over London travel to Camden Market in an attractive area in the north of the city — it's the place to go for street fashion, CDs, and tapes. But many people just go for the lively atmosphere!
There are many “floating markets” in Asia; perhaps the most famous is in Thailand, at a place called “Damnoen Saduak”, 100 km from the capital city, Bangkok. From six in the morning to midday, every day, people sell fresh fruit and vegetables from their boats.
The Grand Bazaar in Istanbul, Turkey, is more than 500 years old and it has more than four thousand shops under one roof! The most popular items for tourists are the beautiful carpets. It's open all day every day.
Many Belgians say that La Grand Place — in the center of the capital city, Brussels — is the most beautiful square in the world. It is the home of a colorful flower market — open every day except Monday. On Monday, instead of flowers, there's a wonderful bird market!
One of the world's most unusual markets is in Mexico City: at the Sonora Market. As well as toys, you can buy herbs and natural medicines which (they say) can help with anything — from problems at work to problems with your marriage! It's open every day from early in the morning till late at night.
21. How is the market in Thailand different from other markets
A. It is more than 500 years old.
B. It only opens in the evening.
C. It is located on the water.
D. It gives you an insight into Istanbul's life.
22. When can you buy birds at La Grand Place
A. Every weekend. B. On Mondays.
C. At midday. D. Every morning.
23. In which market might you find herbs

Apollo 15 was the first flight to the moon that included a spacewalk. On our return trip to Earth, we needed to recover film canisters (胶卷盒) from the service module. Because it was a new activity, an incredible amount of preparation went into it.
I evaluated the entire plan in terms of safety and results. During our preflight analysis, we installed (安装) a warning tone in the suit in the event of low oxygen pressure and we simplified the method of returning the canisters to the Command Module. Once all this preflight work was finished, the actual spacewalk was easy and completed in a short time. I had the pleasure of being outside the spacecraft for 38 minutes, and here's how we did it.
We started suiting up an hour or so before the actual spacewalk. I got a little rush as the Command Module was depressurizing because I was then completely dependent on the pressure in the suit to keep me alive. I had practiced this process many times on Earth, but this was for real and I had to do it just right. Once the cabin (机舱) pressure went to zero, we opened the hatch and went out.
What a feeling to be free in deep space. I concentrated on reaching for the handholds as I made my way to the back of the service module so I would not float away. I had a small problem right away. The high-resolution camera was stuck out in its extended position. I had to go over the camera to get to the film canister. I reached the canister, put a safety clip (安全扣) on it, attached by a tether (拴绳) to my arm, and pulled it out of the machine. Turning around again I made my way back to the hatch. So far, a piece of cake. After another two trips, I finished my task.
Just by turning my head I could position myself so that both the Earth and the Moon were in my field of vision. It was the most unbelievable sight one could imagine. I realized that no one in all of history had ever seen this sight before. What an honor it was.
24. What can be learned about the author from paragraph 2
A. He was well-prepared before the flight.
B. He became addicted to spaceflights.
C. He found pleasure in space science.
D. He threw himself into designing pressure suits.
25. What does the underlined word “rush” in paragraph 3 refer to
A.Excitement. B. Surprise. C. Fear. D. Disappointment.
26. Which of the following can best describe the author's experience in deep space
A. Dangerous and disorderly. B. Challenging but amazing.
C. Quite slow but romantic. D. Rather smooth and simple.
27. What would be the best title for the text
A. Apollo 15 was the power of inspiration B. My first hair-raising space trip
C. A typical day in space D. I was among the lucky few to walk in space
C
A group of Maldivian fishermen lines up at the back of a boat. As they cast their fishing rods (钓竿) and barbless hooks (无倒钩的鱼钩) into the water, they attract fish by throwing tiny baitfish (钓饵鱼) on the surface. This method is called pole and line fishing. It is believed by some to have originated in the Maldives and has been passed down through generations for centuries.
Once they feel a bite, the fishermen swing the pole overhead and the fish crash on the boat. They repeat this technique for hours, catching one fish at a time. “Pole and line fishing is very different from catching fish by nets,” says Hamid Abdallah, a Maldivian fisherman. “We catch fish by pole and line because we want to be able to keep doing it for as long as we can. This is what my family have been doing for generations,” he adds. “This has been our livelihood.”
Maldivians catch nearly 100,000 tons of tuna (金枪鱼) per year and the fish is the country's biggest export. To protect this food source, the Maldives is encouraging people to practice all kinds of eco-friendly fishing. Pole and line fishing helps reduce bycatch — where unwanted species of fish are caught accidentally — which can be a huge problem with other fishing methods. “When you cast a net, it catches everything — regardless of the species or size,” says Abdallah. “Pole and line fishing catches fish one by one.”
The global fishing industry is vital for food security but overfishing and bycatch disturb ecosystems. Across the world, more than 7 million metric tons of tuna and tuna-like species are caught annually. According to the WWF, most tuna are in danger of dropping greatly in numbers.
Experts say that encouraging pole and line fishing would be better for the environment, but this method isn't widespread because it's labor-intensive, requiring manpower, skill and time. However, many Maldivians aim to keep the tradition alive.
28. What does paragraph 1 mainly focus on
A. Explaining Maldivians' daily life.
B. Showing major industries in the Maldives.
C. Describing a traditional fishing method.
D. Introducing the fishing history.
29. What can be inferred from Hamid Abdallah's words
A. His family is struggling a lot. B. His family is well-equipped.
C. His family is falling behind. D. His family is thinking ahead.
30. What is the problem with catching fish with nets according to the text
A. Small fish species may escape from the nets.
B. It has a major impact on the export of tuna.
C. Unwanted fish end up in the fishing net.
D. Lots of accidents happen in the process of fishing.
31. What does the author say about pole and line fishing
A. It's highly profitable. B. It's time-consuming.
C. It's cost-efficient. D. It's knowledge-intensive.
D
In June, a shareholder (股东) advocacy group called As You Sow pressured Microsoft to consider the way it “restricts consumer access to device repairability.”
Other tech companies, like Dell, HP and Motorola, have already begun making their devices more repairable, getting ahead of Right to Repair laws that are very likely on the way. A sure sign is the order signed last year by the president of the USA. It directed the Federal Trade Commission to create Right to Repair rules.
In the past, Microsoft has actively lobbied (游说) against Right to Repair bills, but surprisingly, in October, Microsoft agreed to expand its repair choices, supplying access to parts and information needed for repairs. They've promised to make parts and service manuals available to the public by the end of 2022. Microsoft even promised to conduct a study evaluating the environmental impact of device repairability. “This is the first time we've seen a major company step up and make the promise,” says Kyle Wiens, CEO of repair guide site iFixit. “Amazingly, instead of telling the activist shareholders to go away, Microsoft said we're gonna do it.”
Right to Repair is a global movement that advocates for people's right to repair their own electronic devices and extend the life of the devices. Advocates believe this is going to help solve the pressing problem of e-waste — used electronics that people no longer want — which is a major source of pollution. Activists advocate for laws that will force makers to increase device repairability.
The shareholder advocacy group drove Microsoft to increase device repairability using a tool often employed by climate activists. As shareholders, climate activists often introduce resolutions that other shareholders can vote on (就……表决), thereby forcing companies to make changes. “It's a smart strategy to use your position as a shareholder to raise these kinds of issues, because it demands a company response,” says Aaron Perzanowski, a law professor.
The positive response from companies like Microsoft, Perzanowski says, could be linked to a combination of public pressure, a desire to get ahead of upcoming laws and a growing understanding of the problem of electronic waste.

A GIFT FOR GRANDPA
The summer vacation was coming. Jack and his brother Berlin were filled with excitement as they thought of visiting their grandparents again.
The big day came at last. After the happy family got ready, they set out for the grandparents’ home eagerly. On the way, the brothers were excitedly talking about the fun they had with their grandparents.
A little blue house with a tall white chimney finally appeared. Behind the property was the forest carrying their good memories with Grandpa. They arrived at the driveway, at the end of which Grandpa was waiting for them joyfully.
Jack and Berlin each gave Grandma a big hug and then swept to the living room, shouting excitedly “Grandpa, we are back!”
Seeing his grandsons, Grandpa was wild with joy and tried to get up with all his strength from the chair but in vain. A helpless expression flashed across his face. Grandma explained that his health was declining rapidly and that he maybe couldn’t stand up on his own forever. But Grandpa declared stubbornly (倔强地), “I can!” Certainly, he was stuck in his boyish way. Mum and Grandparents were happy to meet again after a long time. They sat together and chatted about what happened recently.
The brothers were soon bored with adult conversation, went out and wandered into the forest. Tall trees stretched up to the heavens with large branches crossing each other, while young ones rose straight like soldiers. Grandpa was once a great explorer full of wisdom. He could tell where the birds came from only by their calls and songs. The trees, birds, lizards, lots of bugs… How many merry moments they spent with Grandpa in the kingdom!
But now Grandpa couldn’t get up. This made them worried. “We need to think out a way to cheer him up,” Jack said. “Grandpa is a bird lover, so we can catch him a bird,” Berlin suggested. “But he hates birds being caged!” Jack shook his head.Then a bright idea came to Jack’s mind. “Why not make a cane (拐杖) out of a young tree !”
