The menus are teen-friendly and inspire confidence in cooking skills.(青少年可以选择以一般烹饪技巧为重点的课程,也可以选择更专业的课程,比如探索全球风味或烘焙。菜单是青少年友好的,激发了他们对烹饪技巧的信心)”可知,Sur La Table 5-Day Teen Series可能会引起对烹饪充满热情的青少年的兴趣。故选B。2.细节理解题。根据“Camp Chief Ouray”部分中“Day camps include activities like swimming, arts, hiking, rock climbing and more.(日营包括游泳、艺术、徒步旅行、攀岩等活动)”以及“Mountain Adventure Tours (M. A. T.)”部分中“There are themed camps like river rafting, survival skills, and rock climbing.(有主题营地,如漂流、生存技能和攀岩)”可知,两个夏令营都有户外活动。故选D。3.推理判断题。根据第一段“Whether just for the day or overnight, your kids will love spending time at any of these fun summer camps for teens.(无论是白天还是晚上,你的孩子都会喜欢在这些有趣的青少年夏令营中度过时光)”结合本文介绍了四个适合青少年参加的夏令营活动可知,文章的目标人群是青少年的父母;由此推测,文章最可能来自一个面向父母的网站。故选D。B篇A 5.C 6.A答案解析4.A解析:原文第四段指出,爱迪生的努力(hard work)激励人们尝试挑战,不轻易放弃。这与选项 A 中 “通过努力应对困难” 完全匹配。其他选项:B(怀疑自己)是爱因斯坦榜样的负面影响;C(鼓励发明)偏离 “努力坚持” 的核心;D(对 STEM 感兴趣)是爱因斯坦的作用,均错误。5. C.解析:最后一段中,“it” 指代前句的 “huge issue in getting people to complete degrees”(学生难以完成 STEM 学位),即辍学率高(dropout rates)。选项 C “太多学生放弃 STEM 课程” 直接对应这一问题,而 B(课程太难)是原因,非 “it” 指代的现象,故 C 正确。6. A.解析:文章开篇提出 “积极榜样也有好坏”(positive role models include good and bad ones),通过对比爱迪生(好榜样,激励坚持)和爱因斯坦(坏榜样,导致放弃),说明即使积极榜样,也存在不同影响。选项 A 紧扣 “榜样的好坏” 这一核心,其他选项(B. 名人力量;C. 课程难度;D. 比较努力)均偏离主旨,故 A 为最佳标题。七选五:【答案】7.F 8.A 9.E 10.C 11.G【导语】这是一篇说明文。冥想被广泛推荐为促进健康的做法,基础冥想及坐在舒适的位置并通过什么都不做来使自己的思想安静。本文介绍了一些开始基本冥想练习的方法。36.根据上文“With many meditation choices, it’s important to determine which works for you.

It’s essential to build an environment that is helpful for relaxation.(你周围的环境会极大地影响你冥想的质量。营造一个有利于放松的环境是很重要的)”可知,本段的主旨是创造一个适合冥想的环境或空间。A选项“创造合适的空间”符合语境,故选A。38.根据后文“this might mean turning off notices on your phone(这可能意味着关掉手机上的通知)”可知,后文提到关掉通知,即确保没有噪音的打扰。E选项“确保你的房间没有烦人的噪音”符合语境,故选E。39.根据标题“Sit or lie comfortably(舒适地坐着或躺着)”以及后文“When the goal is to help you fall into sleep more easily, lying down especially in a supportive bed can be ideal. If you can’t fall asleep quickly or feel comfortable, try sitting up with cushions (垫子) to support you. The main thing is to keep your back straight and avoid putting pressure on any part of your body.(当你的目标是帮助你更容易入睡时,躺下,尤其是在有支撑的床上是理想的。如果你不能很快入睡或者感觉不舒服,试着用靠垫支撑你坐起来。最重要的是保持背部挺直,避免对身体的任何部位施加压力)”可知,本段主要强调了舒适性,C选项中comfort可对应标题comfortably。C选项“成功的冥想的基础是舒适”符合语境,故选C。40.根据上文“Whether it’s 5 minutes or 30 minutes, the key is to make it a nightly routine.(不管是5分钟还是30分钟,关键是要让它成为每晚的例行公事)”以及后文“making the process more effective gradually(使过程逐渐变得更有效)”可知,本句承接上文,说明变成睡前例行公事的原因是为了让冥想和睡眠联系起来,更加有效。G选项“随着时间的推移,你的大脑会将这种练习与放松和睡眠联系起来”符合语境,故选G。完型填空:12.C 13.C 14.B 15.D 16.A 17.A 18.B 19.D 20.B 21.D 22.A 23.C 24.C 25.D 26.D【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Christian Bagg滑雪受伤后坐上轮椅,但他未放弃登山,还发明适合残疾人的自行车,成立公司帮助更多残疾人重获自由。12.考查形容词词义辨析。句意:近25年前,克里斯蒂安·巴格在滑雪时背部受伤,导致他无法移动和无法感知自己双腿的存在。A. afraid害怕的;B. determined有决心的;C. unable不能的;D. unwilling不愿意的。根据前文“Christian Bagg was snowboarding (滑雪) when he broke his back”可知,巴格滑雪时背部受伤,这一结果自然是导致他“不能”移动故选C项。13.考查动词词义辨析。句意:但这位勇敢的户外运动爱好者并不打算停止寻找回到山上的路。A. imagine想象;B. consider考虑;C. stop停止;D. finish完成。由前文“But the brave outdoorsman”可知,巴格是勇敢的户外运动爱好者,勇敢的人面对困难不会轻易放弃,所以他不会“停止”寻找回到山上的办法。故选C项。14.考查连词词义辨析。句意:因为目前的技术限制了他的舒适度,巴格决定运用自己的技能制造一辆自行车。A.

Valerie opened her car door, and her son John grinned, shouting, “Quick! It’s warm here!” He shoved half a cookie into my brother’s hand. We squeezed into the backseat, giggling as John pretended to be a grumpy teacher. “Drink this!” Valerie said, passing us hot chocolate. Dad walked beside the car, smiling when John yelled, “We’ll build a giant snowman after school!” That afternoon, Valerie brought coats from her neighbors. “Take them,” she insisted. “Winter here is tough, but we stick together.”Valerie’s family soon felt like ours. John dragged us outside daily, teaching us to sled on cardboard. At dinners, he stole Mom’s samosas, whispering, “Better than veggies!” When Dad got his driver’s license, John taped a silly “NEW DRIVER” sign to our car. Years later, visiting Kansas, John laughed, “Remember your frozen socks ” They didn’t just give us coats—they gave us laughter and friendship. Now, snow reminds me of them. Home isn’t just a place; it’s the people who warm your heart.【号语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了作者父母和其他印度移民一起从印度来到美国,冬天的时候,天气很冷,作者家没有车和厚衣服。父亲每天都要走下山送哥哥姐姐上学,然后再走上山上大学。后来一个名叫Valerie的女人注意到了作者一家的境遇,于是主动让他们搭便车,两家人也因此成了好朋友。【详解】1.段落续写:①由第一段首句内容“听了这话,爸爸高兴地点了点头。”可知,第一段可描写Valerie帮助作者一家的经过,②由第二段首句内容“后来,Valerie和她的家人成了我们家的至亲。”可知,第二段可描写作者一家和Valerie成为了好朋友。2.续写线索;同意搭便车--表达感谢--关系加深--互相帮助3.词汇激活行为类表达感谢:express their thanks/express gratitude继续:continue /go on提供:offer/provide情绪类开心: joy/ happiness善良:kind/warm-hearted【点睛】[高分句型1] After expressing their thanks to Valerie, they greeted John with a smile.(运用了动名词作宾语)[高分句型2] We all believed that our friendship would last forever.(运用了that号|导宾语从句)太原十五中2024-2025学年第二学期高一年级5月份月考英语试题时间:60分钟 分值:100分第I卷(选择题)阅读理解(共两节,满分30分)第一节 (共6小题,每小题2.5分,满分15分)ACool Summer Camps for TeensWhether just for the day or overnight, your kids will love spending time at any of these fun summer camps for teens.Camp Chief OurayThis over 100-year-old camp, located about an hour and a half from Denver, Colorado, first hosted campers in the summer of 1908.

B.A column about lifestyle.C.A textbook on education. D.A website intended for parents.BHaving role models in life is important. Michael Jordan changed the game of basketball forever and many of the stars of the game had his poster in their bedroom growing up. Of course, there are negative role models as well that do not set the right example for us. Yet new research has now suggested that even the positive role models include good and bad ones.There was one child who had posters of Thomas Edison on his wall and one child with posters of Albert Einstein on his wall. If everything else was equal in their life, who would do better A new study appears to suggest that Edison is a better role model.While Einstein may attract someone to the field of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM), they struggle to stay in that field. This is because once things get tough they will look inward and decide that they don’t have the talent that Albert Einstein had and are just not cut out for a career in STEM.What Thomas Edison did have was an unbelievable attitude. He worked extremely hard on his projects. He famously failed 10,000 times before finding a way to make the light bulb work. To this, he said, “I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.” The hard work of Edison had paid off and those who read the story believed it was worth giving a challenge a try, so they may not give up so easily.Today in STEM there is a huge issue in getting people to complete degrees. It has one of the highest rates of dropout due to the level of difficulty in the courses. Governments who invest (投资) millions in their STEM universities as they want the best and brightest minds of tomorrow have a huge concern about it. It now appears that by using proper motivators (激励因素), many more may be willing to stick it out.4. How are people affected by Thomas Edison as a role model A. They will deal with their struggles through hard work.B. They will doubt themselves when facing difficulties.C. They will be more encouraged to make inventions.D. They will perhaps become interested in STEM.5. What does the underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refer to A. There are few good role models for students.B. STEM courses are too difficult for students.C. Too many students give up STEM courses.D. Much money is needed for STEM universities.6. What can be a suitable title for the text A. Good and bad role modelsB. The power of famous peopleC. Courses in STEM: easy or difficult D. Who worked hard: Einstein or Edison 第二节(共5小题,每小题3分,满分15分)Here are some steps to help you use the power of meditation (冥想) for better sleep.Choose your focusWith many meditation choices, it’s important to determine which works for you.

Back then, there were few Indians anywhere around the US. My father came to Kansas,where he would get his Ph.D. Six months later, my mother came with my brother and me. We were just six and five years old then.It was the very first winter when we were in Kansas. It was so cold,but we didn’t have heavy coats or warm clothes. We didn’t have a concept of how cold it really could be in the Midwest, and there was a new surprise every day. We didn’t have a car or anything like that, and my dad didn’t have a US driver’s license so he had to walk down the big hill to take us to school every day and then walk back up the hill to go to university.After about three weeks of living like this, a woman called Valerie,whose son John was in the same class as my brother, started noticing us. On a very cold snowy morning,when we went to school as usual,Valerie passed by. She pulled up and said, “I see you on the way every day. Don’t you feel cold without coats ”My father responded,“We didn’t expect the weather would be so cold in Kansas.”Valerie said,“Maybe I can take your daughter and son to school. Would you like a ride ”Paragraph 1:Hearing that, my dad nodded with great joy._________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Paragraph 2:Later, Valerie and her family became so dear to my family._________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 展开更多...... 收起↑ 资源列表 太原十五中2024-2025学年第二学期高一年级5月份月考英语试题.docx 太原十五中2024-2025学年第二学期高一年级5月份月考英语试题答案解析.docx 高一年级5月份月考英语(答题卡)(1).docx
