2024-2025学年广东省广州市天河外国语学校高一（下）期末英语模拟试卷

第一节（共 10 小题；每小题 3 分，满分 30 分）阅读下面短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A，B，C，D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

• 1．I became aware of my stutter（结巴）when I was around 9，in the fourth grade.I began to see how other people viewed me.When the teacher asked the whole class questions，I never raised my hand though I knew the answer，because I knew I would stutter.Some kids would tell me that I talked funny，ask why I didn't talk normally，or laugh at me.As soon as that started to happen，I became more introverted （内向的）.
     It wasn't until the summer of 2015，before freshman year at high school.All my friends and my parents encouraged me to join the high school football team.I owed much to them，especially Coach Lane who taught me how to play football.He took the time-and had the patience-to actually teach me what to do，how to do it and how to understand the concepts of play.
     In junior year，I started my first game for the high school team.I had a very good season and in January 2018，I signed the University of North Carolina.The older we get，the more of an understanding we have about the world and other people.So the first time my teammates in college heard me talk and heard that I stuttered，they did not say a thing.That was a big deal to me because I was so used to people making comments.My teammates actually tell me to slow down because talking faster causes me to stutter more.It's really helped me develop confidence.
     Whenever I go back home to Georgia，I volunteer with children at my church，including those who have learning disabilities.I like to do that to inspire them with confidence.I had confidence issues when I was a kid because of my stutter，so I just don't want them to have to go through what I did.In the future，I would like to start a foundation to give back to people who stutter and create a program where kids all across the world who have a stutter can have a safe space.
  
  （1）Why did NOT the author raise his hand in class？

  
  A．He didn't know the answer.
  B．He was too shy to speak in public.
  C．He was upset about kids' comments.
  D．He showed no interest in the question.
  （2）What was one cause of the author's decision to play football？

  
  A．Guidance from coaches.
  B．Great interest in football.
  C．Expectations from parents.
  D．Encouragement from friends.

  A．Grateful and caring.

• 2．The forest of today will not be the forests of tomorrow.Rising temperatures，trees being cut down，development and climate-change-caused disasters are changing the very makeup of the Earth's forests，new research published in Science finds.
     Older，bigger trees are being lost at an alarming rate，making the planet's forests shorter and younger.The change is being driven at different rates by different causes in different places，the study's authors say，but the consequences will be global.
     Old growth forests absorb and store massive amounts of climate-warming CO₂.They provide habitats for rare and endangered species and promote rich biodiversity.Researchers found that the world lost roughly one-third of its old growth forests between 1900 and 2015.In North America and Europe，they found that tree mortality（死亡率） has doubled in the past 40 years.
     "Warming temperatures，wildfires，logging and insect outbreaks were among the many causes of the decline，" says Nate McDowell，the study's lead author. "What's perhaps more concerning is that the trajectory（发展轨迹） of all these disturbances is generally increasing over time and is expected to continue increasing in the future." he says.
     McDowell's focus is on how trees are affected by rising temperatures，arguably the biggest driver of forest change.To get a broader understanding of how forests are changing globally，he brought in more than 20 other researchers in different fields.Together，they examined more than 160 previous studies about tree mortality and its global causes，applying current satellite data and modeling to create a look at the Earth's changing forests to date.
     "It's not a shock，but it's very sad，" says Kristina，an ecologist and leader of the ForestGEO Ecosystems &Climate Program who helped with the research. "We as a human society are hitting these forests so rapidly with so many different changes that they can't keep up." she says.
  
  （1）What can we know from the figures in the paragraph 3？

  
  A．More trees should be planted in no time.
  B．We are losing old growth forests quickly.
  C．Forests are important habitats for wildlife.
  D．Different trees can absorb CO₂ differently.
  （2）What can we say about McDowell's research？

  
  A．Timely and long-standing.
  B．All-sided and careful.
  C．Time-limited and regional.
  D．Traditional and extensive.
  （3）What's Kristina's attitude towards the findings of the research？

  
  A．Worried.
  B．Optimistic.
  C．Supportive.
  D．Indifferent.
  （4）What's the writer's purpose of writing the passage？

  
  A．To call on people to plant more trees.
  B．To discuss the influence of climate change.
  C．To warn against the loss of old growth forests.
  D．To compare forests of today with those of the future.
