The first is that of 17-year-old Darren Purchase, a journalist from the small town of Mayberry, Arkansas, who wants to unearth the story behind country music legend Decklee Cassel’s empty time capsule. The second is that of Decklee Cassel in the 1960s, coming up in the music world, and what she had to give up to succeed.SnowglobeIn Soyoung Park’s award-winning novel, all is not what it seems in Snowglobe— the sunny, green, celebrity-filled city and the last place on earth that isn’t frozen. Residents of the frozen world(the result of the climate crisis) work hard to keep Snowglobe warm. This book is translated from the original Korean.Gita Desai Is Not Here to Shut UpGita Desai Is Not Here to Shut Up written by Sonia Patel is considered as a tough read that’s worth the discomfort.

It is based on the author’s own experiences.21.Who wrote Everything We Never Had A.Sonia Patel. B.Randy Ribay. C.Soyoung Park. D.Jenna Voris.22.What is Decklee Cassel A.A musician. B.A novelist.

But they are not trained models. They are, in fact, ordinary retirees. They all share a love for fashion, and they come together to add a bit of enjoyment to their lives. These “chic grandmas” share a common goal now but their backgrounds could barely be more different.Sang Xiuzhu, 77, is one of them. She used to be an automatic control engineer. She initially planned to journey across continents with her husband after retirement, but during a literary event, Sang, 1.7 meters tall, was spotted by a modeling coach. In the beginning, she joined the senior model team and attended events organized by her local community and enterprises. Later, she was invited to participate in Beijing International Fashion Week, Paris Fashion Week and her new career just grew.Sang is learning to compose music, form lines and write scripts. She is so occupied that she really has no time to think about the aging issue. As for the future, Sang doesn’t know how to define it, as she really enjoys the present. She suggests that after retirement, people must cope with the transition period, and they should enjoy life.As long as the heart is not old, life is always sweet. All “chic grandmas” are full of enthusiasm for new things and they live to learn. This kind of enthusiasm that is rooted deeply in their heart fills them with energy.24. What does the underlined word “chic” in paragraph I mean A. Retired. B. Urban. C. Stylish. D. Rigid.25. What did Sang plan to do after retirement A. Become a senior model. B. Attend literary events.C. Learn to compose music. D. Tour around the world.26. What can be inferred about chic grandmas A. They have a born talent for modeling.B. They willingly experience new things.C. They come from similar backgrounds.D. They concern much about the aging issue.27. Which might be a suitable title for the text A. Changes in Fashion Week B. Never Too Late to LearnC. Beauty Has No Age Limit D. Interest Is the Best TeacherCWhen the pool near Paris where he worked as a lifeguard was closed due to poor economic conditions, Guillaume Pop took jobs at various other pools that were almost empty. At one pool there was a small waterslide (水滑道), which gave the 22-year-old former competitive swimmer an idea: he would make a TikTok video in which he pretended to be a“professional waterslide tester”.Shooting down a slide in hard hat and hi-viz vest (防护衣) or smiling broadly in cool shapes to the music, Pop soon became a social media hit. He was hired to “test” slides and other facilities at water parks, swimming pools and campsites all over France. Today, he has more than half a million followers on TikTok and his own real-life waterslide-testing business. No longer working as a lifeguard, he travels the country checking the condition of waterslides, trying them out to determine how fun they are and creating amusing videos to attract customers.“First of all, I check it without water, to make sure it’s in an acceptable state,” explains Pop, who must keep up-to-date on water park regulations. If he finds a waterslide needs work — for example, if there are bumpy joints, which can hurt sliders—management will bring in a specialist repairer. “After that, I test it with water,” Pop says.Then he moves on to the fun, promotional aspect. Sometimes he takes over a leisure park and invites social media influencers to enjoy it too. In 2022, he took 25 influencers to O’Gliss Park, an enormous water park on the Atlantic coast.Pop estimates he’s tested around 700 French waterslides and is now eyeing water parks abroad, such as Switzerland, Portugal and Spain, where he has been testing slides during the winter. “It’s the best job in the world,” declares Pop, whose videos have received 80 million views. “I’m not behind a desk. I’m active and outside in the sun. And I build a positive relationship with customers. In fact, all the children tell me they want to be a waterslide tester!”28. What motivated Guillaume Pop to make TikTok videos about waterslides A. His interest in lifeguarding techniques.B. His passion for competitive swimming.C. A suggestion from his friends to become a social media hit.D. The loss of his lifeguard job due to poor economic conditions.29. How did Guillaume Pop’s career change after gaining popularity on TikTok A. He began working as a manager at a water park.B. He started a real-life waterslide-testing business.C. He joined a professional swimming team in Paris.D. He became a lifeguard at multiple pools in France.30. Why does Guillaume Pop describe his job as“the best job in the world” A. He gains a high salary and job security.B. He tests over 700 waterslides in France.C. He gets to travel extensively to different countries.D. He enjoys working outdoors and interacting with customers.31. Which is a suitable title for the text A. Guillaume Pop: The TikTok Star of Water ParksB. Guillaume Pop: From Lifeguard to a Traveler in ParisC. Guillaume Pop’s Journey: From Pool Closures to Waterslide AdventuresD. Guillaume Pop’s Journey: Creating Waves in Swimming PoolsDImagine a customer-service center that speaks your language, no matter what it is. Alorica, a company in Irvine, California, which runs customer-service centers around the world, has introduced an artificial intelligence(AI) translation tool that lets its workers talk with customers who speak 200 different languages and 75 dialects. So an Alorica worker who speaks, say, only Spanish can deal with a complaint about an incorrect bank statement from a Cantonese speaker in Hong Kong. And it wouldn’t need to hire an employee who speaks Cantonese.However, Alorica isn’t cutting jobs. It will increasingly hire those who are comfortable with new technology.Potentially, the threat: Perhaps companies won’t need as many employees— and will cut some jobs— if chatbots can handle the workload instead. Consider Suumit Shah, an Indian businessman who caused an uproar last year by saying that he had replaced 90% of his customer support staff with a chatbot named Lina. The move at Shah’s company, Dukaan, which helps customers set up e-commerce sites, reduced the response time to an inquiry from 1 minute, 44 seconds to “instant”. It also cut the typical time needed to solve problems from more than two hours to just over three minutes.Similarly, researchers at Harvard Business School found in a study last year that job postings for writers, coders and artists decreased greatly within eight months of the arrival of ChatGPT.But being exposed to AI doesn’t necessarily mean losing your job to it. The Swedish furniture retailer IKEA, for example, introduced a customer-service chatbot in 2021 to handle simple inquiries. Instead of cutting jobs, IKEA retrained 8,500 customer-service workers to handle such tasks as advising customers on interior design and fielding complex customer calls.The experience at Alorica and IKEA suggests that AI may not prove to be the job killer that many people fear. Instead, the technology might turn out to be more like breakthroughs of the past— the steam engine, electricity and the Internet, which get rid of some jobs while creating others and probably make workers more productive in general to the eventual benefit of workers themselves, their employers and the economy.32.What does the author want to tell us by the example in paragraph 1 A.The power of AI. B.The threat from humans.C.The customer requirements. D.The tips on language learning.33.What advantage does Lina have over other staff A.Winning the trust of customers. B.Responding to customers faster.C.Selling more products to customers. D.Having a great relationship with Shah.34.What were IKEA’s customer-service workers asked to do in 2021 A.Take on other duties. B.Leave their company.C.Move to Hong Kong. D.Develop latest chatbots.35.What is the best title for the text A.How Will AI Change Our Lives B.How Should We Use AI Effectively C.Will AI Take Away Many Human Jobs D.What Is the Future of Traditional Companies 第二节(共 5 小题;每小题 2.5 分,满分 12.5 分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。One of the great literature works in China is Journey to the West. The novel has many fantastic elements and most of the characters are not human, but they show recognizable human characteristics. ____36____ People see themselves in the characters.Another reason for the novel’s popularity is that it is not just an adventure story. 37 It is a spiritual journey where the characters were forced to examine the nature of good and evil. The novel shows that individuals cannot be understood by their outer qualities, but by the good or bad that is in their own hearts.Of course, the main reason for the novel’s popularity is Sun Wukong himself. He has faults, but at heart he is brave, loyal, good-hearted, and righteous(正义的). 38 In time and through faith and discipline he learned to protect the weak and the powerless, to be helpful and kind, and to put others first. In a real sense, he had the same life journey that many people have had through the ages. When he was young in the Mountain of Flowers and Fruit, he was leading a free and enjoyable life. 39 In doing so, he changed from someone who loved to play tricks and stir up trouble, to someone who is self-disciplined and faithful.40 But they also see in him a mirror of their own struggles in life as they learn to protect and help others, to stand for what is right, and to grow in maturity becoming responsible members of society.A. While in his youth he had been a little wild.B. But then he had to grow up and face the real world.C. In a sense, they want to become a hero of their own life.D. The story is more than just a group’s journey to the West.E. This human element is one reason for the novel’s popularity.F. Many Chinese admire Wukong for his abilities and bravery.G. Yet, Wukong always showed up when needed to rescue his master.第三部分 语言运用(共两节,满分30分)第一节 (共15小题;每小题1分,满分15分)阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。I remember a psychology (心理学) professor, who taught stress management principles.

He wondered why they had to spend Christmas working at the homeless shelter. In his mind, Christmas was all about the simple pleasures of opening beautifully-wrapped presents, eating delicious dishes like roasted turkey and buttery cookies, and having a great time playing games with family and friends. His parents kept insisting it was community service, but to Hector, it felt like a real misfortune.The week passed in a flash, and before he knew it, Christmas Day had arrived. With eager hands, he unwrapped the presents under the tree. When he uncovered a shiny, brand-new basketball, he got excited. But that brief moment of excitement faded quickly as he remembered he couldn’t play with it just yet.As they drove to the shelter, Hector sat in the back seat, arms tightly crossed, staring out of the window. Colorful Christmas lights and cheerful decorations flashed by, but he hardly noticed them.When they finally arrived at the shelter, a kind-looking man stepped forward with a warm smile. “Thank you for helping,” he said, “You’re going to enjoy your time here.” Hector paused for a moment, but the man’s genuine smile aroused his curiosity. Maybe, just maybe, today would turn out to be different from what he had expected.注意:续写词数应为150个左右。Hector walked into the shelter and saw faces filled with hope as he began helping to prepare food and give out gifts.____________________________________________________________________________________________As the car pulled away, he waved goodbye to the children with a satisfied smile on his face.____________________________________________________________________________________________观山湖区高一英语4月期中考试答案总分:150分 时间:120分钟第一部分:听力(共20小题;每小题1.5分,满分30分)1~5 BBACC 6~10 BABAC 11~15 CCAAB 16~20 CABAC第二部分:阅读理解(共两节,满分50分)第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)21-23 BAD 24-27 CDBC 28-31 DBDC 32-35 ABAC第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)36-40 EDABF第三部分:语言运用(共两节,满分30分)第一节(共15小题;每小题1分,满分15分)41-45 BCDAD 46-50 ACBCB 51-55DAACB第二节(共10小题;每小题1.5分,满分15分)an 57. typically 58. making 59. known 60. dramas61. with 62. which 63. has shaped 64. available 65. to explore第四部分:写作(共两节,满分40分)第一节:应用文写作(满分15分)66.【答案】Possible version 1:Dear Mr Green,I’m Li Hua, a high school student who is very interested in our English website. I’m writing to offer a suggestion on enriching it.In my opinion, establishing a travel column would be a good choice. Here are some reasons. First of all, travelling is one of the most popular ways to relax, so introducing a travel column can attract students’ interest. Secondly, given that students are busy with their studies, it is difficult for them to have a chance to visit famous scenic spots. Our website can help them make it. Lastly, appreciating the beautiful rivers and mountains of our motherland can increase our sense of national pride.I trust that you will consider my suggestion favorably.Yours,Li HuaPossible version 2:Dear Mr Green,I’m Li Hua, a high school student with a keen interest in our English website. I am writing to propose the addition of a new column.I believe that adding a new column called “Travel” would be beneficial for the following reasons. Firstly, as one of the most popular ways to relax, travelling has always been attractive, never failing to appeal to readers. Additionally, due to our busy studies, we may not have access to well-known scenic spots. For this reason, “Travel” will prove a perfect addition. Last but not least, not only will it help us refresh ourselves, but it will also increase our sense of national pride.I hope you find my suggestion acceptable.Yours,Li Hua第二节(满分 25 分)67.【答案】Possible version :Hector walked into the shelter and saw faces filled with hope as he began helping to prepare food and give out gifts. At first, he moved around the shelter with reluctance. But as he saw the genuine happiness on the faces of those who received the food and gifts, something inside him started to shift. A little girl came up to him and shyly said, “Thank you.” Hector was surprised, looking into her eyes and seeing a kind of innocence and gratitude. At that moment, Hector felt a warmth spreading through his body. By the time they were ready to leave, Hector’s mood had completely changed.As the car pulled away from the shelter, he waved goodbye to the children with a satisfied smile. At the same time, his parents exchanged glances in the front seat, noticing the shift in their son’s attitude. “How do you feel now, Hector ” his mom asked gently, hoping to hear a change in his tone. Hector smiled and nodded, feeling a new sense of satisfaction. “I feel… good,” he said softly, his voice calm yet sincere. Hector felt proud, knowing that helping others was, in fact, the greatest gift he could have given.听力材料:(Text 1)M: What do you do in your spare time W: Well, I like shopping and I jog every day.

(所有的’chic奶奶们’都对新事物充满热情,她们活着就是为了学习)”可知,这些奶奶对新事物充满了热情,坚持学习;由此可知,划线词chic修饰grandmas,表示这些奶奶们非常“时髦,时尚”,与stylish“时髦的;新潮的”意思一致。故选C。【25题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段中“She initially planned to journey across continents with her husband after retirement, but during a literary event, Sang, 1.7 meters tall, was spotted by a modeling coach.

These “chic grandmas” share a common goal now but their backgrounds could barely be more different.(穿着高跟鞋、涂着口红、穿着时髦的裙子,一群平均年龄68岁的’时髦奶奶’仍然可以作为模特走秀,但她们不是训练有素的模特。事实上,她们是普通的退休人员。她们都热爱时尚,她们聚在一起为她们的生活增添了一点乐趣。这些’时髦奶奶’现在有着共同的目标,但她们的背景却截然不同)”以及最后一段“As long as the heart is not old, life is always sweet. All “chic grandmas” are full of enthusiasm for new things and they live to learn. This kind of enthusiasm that is rooted deeply in their heart fills them with energy. (只要心不老,生活永远甜蜜。所有的’时髦奶奶’都对新事物充满热情,她们活着就是为了学习。这种深深扎根于她们内心的热情让他们充满了活力。)”可知,本文介绍了以77岁的桑秀珠为代表的一群“时髦奶奶”的退休生活,她们退休后依然对新事物充满热情、不断学习、热爱时尚、展现她们的美丽。由此可知,C选项“Beauty Has No Age Limit(美丽没有年龄限制)”能够概括本文主旨,适合作为最佳标题。故选C。【答案】28.

At one pool there was a small waterslide, which gave the 22-year-old former competitive swimmer an idea: he would make a TikTok video in which he pretended to be a“professional waterslide tester”. (当他在巴黎附近担任救生员的游泳池因经济状况不佳而关闭时,Guillaume Pop开始在其他几乎空无一人的游泳池找活干。在一个游泳池里有一条小型水滑道,这给了这位22岁的前竞技游泳运动员一个主意:他决定制作一段TikTok视频,在视频中扮演一名“专业水滑道测试员”)”可知,由于经济状况不佳,Guillaume Pop失去了救生员的工作,这促使他制作了关于水上滑道的TikTok视频。故选D。29. 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Today, he has more than half a million followers on TikTok and his own real-life waterslide-testing business.
