高二下学期英语期末考试试题(附答案)

高二下学期英语期末考试试题（附答案）一、阅读理解（共15小题，每小题2分，共30分）（共4题；共30分）1.阅读理解On 29 May last year, I was doing my swim training for a half Ironman race in the bay near my home.I was finishing my first loop (圈) when I felt jaws coming around my body and a sharp pain. The water was dark, so I couldn't see anything. It just came out of nowhere and then it was gone in a flash. I knew it was something really big and assumed it was a shark. I panicked, but knew I needed to get out of the water. I was kicking wildly in case it came back. There was a lifeguard boat close by, so I waved my arms in the air and screamed for help. It got to me within 20 seconds. At that point I didn't feel anything; adrenaline (肾上腺素) had taken over. The lifeguards held me under the arms and pulled me up out of the water. Then the pain kicked in and it was pretty hard to bear. Some muscle had been bitten off my right arm. I felt a lot of warm, gushing blood.My chest felt heavy, as if someone had put their foot on it, and I was having trouble breathing. It was extremely painful. When I got to the hospital, I told the nurses to put me to sleep because of the pain. I just wanted them to fix me.I woke up after surgery four hours later. My doctor was amazed when I managed to move my fingers: the bite just missed a major nerve. My right lung had been damaged; I had several broken bones and a nerve in my leg was cut, so I have reduced feeling at the top of my leg. The shark also bit through my upper back muscle.Local experts determined that the shark was probably 9-10 feet long. It was young, about seven years old. It just attacked me, left and didn't come back because it figured I wasn't food.根据短文内容，选择最佳答案，并将选定答案的字母标号填在题前括号内。

When we all sat down to eat, my friend’s wife wolfed down her supper and then disappeared into another room to do some work. He smiled and said, “Sunday nights are the new Monday mornings around here.”I was surprised at the time. Now, I find myself (21)________ (behave) in exactly the same manner. Every time I open up my calendar on Sunday evening, a subtle sense of dread comes over me. I feel (22)________ ________ I am behind before the week has even begun.Apparently, my Sunday-night anxieties and Monday-morning blues are not unique to me alone. A new study led by Ilke Inceoglu from the University of Exeter found that this phenomenon often takes the form of mental concerns about the week ahead, as well as feelings of nervousness and difficulty with sleeping. “It’s as if your mind moves away from (23)________ has been experienced over the weekend as the general sense of relaxation or enjoyment, and quickly shifts towards whatever worries you have about everything you’ve got to do in the work week ahead,” said one of Inceoglu’s respondents.Inceoglu found that these Sunday scaries were particularly pronounced (24)________ people who frequently checked their emails during the weekend, had tasks left over from the previous week, and had unreasonably high expectations of themselves. These matters seem (25)________(make) worse as a result of the pandemic, where the rise of working from home (26)________(blur) the boundaries between work and leisure.What should we do about the “Sunday scaries”? Researchers have offered some useful suggestions that(27)________ help us make Monday less depressing. One is to change (28)________ you think about the weekend. One U.S. study found that when participants were asked to treat their weekend as a mini-vacation, they tended to do more cheerful activities and returned to work on Monday satisfied with their jobs. (29)________ second way is to redesign our Monday so that it has some of the features that make us feel good during the weekend. Introducing simple changes, such as starting the day with something you are good at, setting aside a little unstructured time where you are able to do what you want, or setting up a lunchtime date with (30)________ you find enjoyable to be around, could make all the difference.Section B（单选）Directions:Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.For centuries, people have described unusual animal behavior just ahead of seismic(地震的) events: dogs barking endlessly, cows halting their milk, toads leaping from ponds. A few researchers have tried to prove a link, but most such attempts have relied largely on anecdotes and single (31)________.Now researchers at the University of Konstanz, along with a multinational team of colleagues, say they have managed to (32)________ measure increased activity in a group of farm animals prior to seismic activity. During separate periods (33)________ about four months in 2016 and 2017, the researchers (34)________ these highly sensitive biologgers and GPS sensors, which can record accelerated movements in any direction, to six cows, five sheep and two dogs living on a farm in an earthquake-prone area of northern Italy to keep track of the activities andthe nervousness of animals. “Only now can we do continuous biologging,” says study co-author Martin Wikelski. “Because the (35)________ possibilities are finally there.”The paper’s statistical analysis showed animals’ activity significantly increased before magnitude 3.8 or greater earthquakes when they were housed together in a stable—but not when they were out to pasture(吃草). Wikelski says this difference could be linked to the increased stress some animals feel in (36)________ spaces. Analyzing the increased movements as a whole, the researchers claim, showed a clear signal of (37)________ behavior hours ahead of tremors.Besides, it showed that the farm animals appeared to anticipate quakes anywhere from one to 20 hours ahead, reacting earlier when they were closer to the origin and later when they were farther away. This finding is(38)________ with a hypothesis that animals somehow sense a signal that spreads outward. It holds that in the days before an earthquake, shifting tectonic plates(地壳板块) squeeze rocks along a fault line, causing the rocks to release minerals that force ions into the air, and then the animals react to this novel (39)________.Not involved with the new study, Wendy Bohon, a geologist from Washington, D.C., is (40)________ of the air ionization idea. Heiko Woith, a geologist at GFZ German Research Center for Geosciences, says the time frame was still too short and points out that limited data collection in many studies makes it impossible to determine whether a measured signal was related to a quake or was simply noise.III. Reading Comprehension (1’*15+2’*11+2’*4=45’)Section A (单选)Directions:For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.You May Need a Few Minutes of Brisk Activity jog around the block... Which ones would best help or hurt your brain? A recent study attempted to Walking from room to room, running up and down stairs to deliver folded laundry, or taking a answer that question by strapping(绑上) activity monitors to the thighs of nearly 4,500 people in the United Kingdom and (41)________ their 24-hour movements for seven days. Researchers then examined how participants’ behavior affected their short-term memory, problem-solving and processing skills.Here’s the good news. People who spent “even small amounts of time in more vigorous activities—as little as six to nine minutes—compared to sitting, sleeping or. gentle activities had(42)________ cognition scores,” said study author John Mitchell.Moderate physical activity is (43)________ defined as brisk walking or bicycling or running up and down stairs. Vigorous movement (44)________ dancing, jogging, running, swimming to biking up a hill—basically any activity that is able to (45)________ your heart rate and breathing.The study found that doing just under 10 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) each day led to (46)________ in study participants’ working memory. In addition, 10 minutes of MVPA had its biggest impact on executive processes such as (47)________and organization.The cognitive improvement was (48)________, but the research found that the benefits grew the more time a person spent (49)________in the activity of an energetic workout, Mitchell said.“Now that we don’t monitor participants’ cognition over the course of many years, the results of this study may simply be telling us that those individuals who move more tend to have higher cognition on average,” he said. “While on theother hand, the results do also imply that even making (50)________ changes to our daily lives can have(51)________ consequences for our cognition.”There was bad news as well. Spending more time sleeping, sitting or engaged only in mild movement was linked to a negative impact on the brain. The study found cognition declined 1% to 2% after replacing an (52)________ portion of MVPA with eight minutes of sedentary (久坐的) behavior, six minutes of light intensity or seven minutes of sleep.Additional studies need to be done to (53)________ these findings and to better understand the role that each type of activity plays (54)________ our cognitive abilities. However, Mitchell said, the study “highlights how even very modest differences in people’s daily movements—less than 10 minutes—can be linked to the (55)________of quite real changes to our cognitive health.”41. A. modifying B. tricking C. clarifying D. tracking42. A. lower B. higher C. smaller D. bigger43. A. typically B. previously C. barely D. absolutely44.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Brenda Thomas’s heart became a shell when her 21-year-old son died in a motorcycle accident in September 2019, only one week into his senior year of college. But she has found something that helps her to deal with her grief.She keeps “acts of kindness” cards in honor of her son. These folded pieces of paper are tucked in her purse at all times and always stored in the glove compartment of her car. Whenever she does a good deed for a stranger—which is about once a week—she passes along a card with a message written on it: “If you receive this card, then you must be a recipient of a random act of kindness.” At the top of each note is her son’s name, Trevor Paul Thomas.Trevor was an athlete who played baseball at Allegany College of Maryland and Penn State Fayette. He was a loyal friend and a force for good, with a witty sense of humor and a big smile. According to his mother, one ofTrevor’s best qualities was his compassion for others, no matter how well he knew them. He regularly shoveled(铲) snow off the driveways of older neighbors, delivered hot meals to those in need, and befriended classmates who struggled to fit in. It seemed a natural fit to launch a kindness campaign in his memory.The Thomas family adopted the “acts of kindness” cards to mark what would have been Trevor’s 23 birthday. They hoped that these cards would encourage people to do a good deed as part of Trevor’s legacy. On each card, they included a mantra (箴言) that the family said best describes the way Trevor had lived his life: “Be somebody who makes everybody feel like somebody.”Recently, while dining with her daughter Whitney in a restaurant, Brenda decided to pay for the meal of a mother and two children. The recipient of Brenda’s spontaneous (发自内心的) gift was Liana Arruda. She was taking her nine-year-old son and his five-year-old sister for dinner. She felt shocked and moved after the waitress handed her the card. She used it as an opportunity to teach her children about compassion and is now brainstorming ways to pass on the goodness. “I’m waiting to find the perfect opportunity,” she said. “I want it to matter, because it mattered to me.”For the Thomas family, while there is still—and forever will be—a massive void(空虚感) in their lives without Trevor, committing to “living like him” has helped them turn their pain into purpose. “We’ll keep paying it forward in Trevor’s honor because it would make him so proud,” said Brenda.56. Trevor Paul can be best described asA. ambitious, witty and optimisticB. sympathetic, humorous and warmheartedC. faithful, passionate and competitiveD. compassionate, persistent and rigorous57. According to the context, the sentence “Be somebody who makes everybody feel like somebody.”(P4) can be best illustrated by ________________.A. Do as Romans do.B. Serve others to be popular.C. Influence others with what you do.D. Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.58. Which of the following statements is TURE?A. Trevor would have graduated from university within one year but for the accident.B. Every time Brenda does a good deed for others, they’ll receive an anonymous card.C. Liana was astonished and touched because her two children gave her the gift spontaneously.D. Liana has found a perfect opportunity to pass on the goodness and teach her children about compassion.59. What conclusion can we draw from the passage?A. Your pain can be turned into purpose to push you forward.B. Compassion means standing in others shoes.C. Void can be replaced with satisfaction by “living like him”.D. Committing to “following his way” is a good way to honor somebody.(B)60. According to the poster above, which groups of items will be the best for the Pearson family (father with chronic disease, mother, a 10-month-old infant, and a pet dog) to pack into their limited-size emergency supplies kit besides necessities such as food, water and clothes?A. passport, paper cups, whistle, rain gear, flashlightsB. formula, blanket, medication, diapers, pet foodC. pet food, cotton t-shirt, plastic sheeting, booksD. medication, bank account records, diaper, can opener, formula61.

All of the supplies in the emergency kit should not be stored in waterproof and portable containers.D. Children should not be allowed to include their favorites books and stuffed animals in the kit.(C)When we think about lives filled with meaning, we often focus on people whose grand contributions benefited humanity. Abraham Lincoln, Martin Luther King, Jr., and Nelson Mandela surely felt they had a worthwhile life. But how about us ordinary people, toiling away in a typical existence?Many scholars agree that a subjectively meaningful existence often boils down to three factors: the feeling that one’s life is coherent and “makes sense,” the possession of clear and satisfying long-term goals and the belief that one’s life matters in the grand scheme of things. Psychologists call these three things coherence, purpose and existential mattering.But we believe there is another element to consider. Think about the first butterfly you stop to admire after a long winter or imagine the scenery atop a hill after a fresh hike. Sometimes existence delivers us small moments of beauty. When people are open to appreciating such experiences, these moments may enhance how they view their life. We call this element experiential appreciation. The phenomenon reflects the feeling of a deep connection to events as they happen and the ability to extract value from that link. It represents the detection of and admiration for life’s inherent beauty.We recently set out to better understand this form of appreciation in a series of studies, published in Nature Human Behaviour, that involved more than 3,000 participants. Across these studies, we were interested in whether experiential appreciation was related to a person’s sense of meaning even when we accounted for the effects of the classic trio of coherence, purpose and existential mattering. If so, experiential appreciation could be a unique contributor to meaningfulness and not simply a product of these other variables.As an initial test of our idea, during the early stages of the COVID pandemic, we had participants rate their endorsement of different coping strategies to relieve their stress. We found that people who managed stress by focusing on their appreciation for life’s beauty also reported experiencing life as highly meaningful. In the next study, we asked participants to rate the extent to which they agreed with various statements, such as “I have a great appreciation for the beauty of life” as well as other statement related to coherence, purpose, existential mattering and a general sense of meaning in life. Our results showed that the more people indicated that they were “appreciating life” and its many experiences, the more they felt their existence was valuable. In fact, these two elements related strongly to each other even when we controlled for other aspects of a meaningful life.Finally, we conducted a series of experiments in which we gave people specific tasks and, once more, asked them to report how strongly they identified with statements linked to purpose, mattering, etc.. The results confirmed our original theory: appreciating small things can make life feel more meaningful. But applying that insight can be difficult. Our modern, fast-paced, project-oriented lifestyles fill the day with targets and goals. We are on the go, andwe attempt to maximize output both at work and at leisure. This focus on future outcomes makes it all too easy to miss what is happening right now. Yet life happens in the present moment. We should slow down, let life surprise us and embrace the significance in the everyday.63. What factor accounts for the life meaning of ordinary people besides coherence, purpose and existential mattering?A. Contribution.B. Possession.C. Experiential appreciation.D. Inherent beauty.64. We can infer from the passage that ____________.A. Experiential appreciation is a product of existential mattering.B. Focusing on future outcome can help maximize output.C. The following experiments in the study are opposed to the result of the initial test.D. We’d better appreciate small things in daily life despite the fast-paced lifestyles.65. The underlined word “endorsement”(PSL2) is closest in meaning to ____________.A. enjoymentB. approvalC. rejectionD. comment66. Which of the following is the author most likely to agree with?A. During the COVID pandemic, it’s difficult to find coping strategies to relieve stress.B. Maximizing output motivates people to catch what is happening right now.C. Appreciating life and its experiences can enhance the feeling of valuable existence.D. In modern society, it’s common practice to appreciate small things to make life more meaningful.Section C（单选）Directions:Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.“TALKING with you for one night is better than studying books for ten years” this was the comment of an old Chinese scholar after he had had a conversation with a friend. (67)__________________ And today the phrase “a night’s talk” has become a current expression for a happy conversation with a friend at night, either past or expected. Such a supreme pleasure as having a perfect conversation with a friend at night is necessarily rare, for as the playwright Li Liweng has pointed out, (68) “__________________” The discovery of a man up in a mountain temple, who really understands life and at the same time understands the art of conversation, must therefore be one of the keenest pleasures, like the discovery of a new planet by an astronomer or of a new variety of plant by a botanist.There is an evident distinction between mere talking and conversation as such. This distinction is made in the Chinese language between shuohua (speaking) and tanhua (conversation), which implies that in conversation the language used is more chatty and leisurely and the topics more trivial and less business like.(69)__________________We can discuss business with almost any person, but there are very few people with whom we can truly hold a night’s conversation. Hence, when we do find a true conversationalist, the pleasure is equal to, if not above, that of reading a delightful author, with the additional pleasure of hearing his voice and seeing his gestures.Sometimes we find it at the happy reunion of old friends, or among acquaintances indulging in good memories, and sometimes among strangers on a distant journey. There will be chats about ghosts and fox spirits, mixed with amusing tales or impassioned(激昂的) comments: on international affairs, and sometimes before we know it, a wise observer and conversationalist may shed light on things that have bothered you for a long time.(70)__________________IV. Summary Writing (简答10)Directions:Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.71.Why You Need a Network of Casual FriendsWhen I was laid off in 2015, I tweeted it the way any young people would in the hope that someone in my social network would point me to potential opportunities. To my surprise, a friend of a friend alerted me to an opening in her department by Facebook message, and she became my boss three rounds of interviews later.Think of the parents you see in the drop-off zone at school, your favorite waiter, the other dog owners at the park. Sociologists call these relationships “weak ties.” Not only can these connections affect our job prospects, but they can also have a positive impact on our well-being.Maintaining the network of acquaintances can help you feel more connected. The desire to belong and form social attachments is a basic human need, alongside food, sleep and safety. But once we hit 25, the number of friends we have peaks and becomes smaller over time, according to a 2016 study. As we get older and priorities shift from after-work bowling league to after-school pickup, maintaining a loaded social calendar becomes less important. Staying socially engaged, then, is integral to personal fulfillment.Besides, having at least a few acquaintances can connect us with a larger circle of people, which is fantastic news, say, for job hunters. Even if our friends want to help us find a job, the weak ties are often the ones who widen thejob-search playing field.Those acquaintances also provide us with a wider worldview. Regularly interacting with people who have different experiences than we do allows us to be more mindful of others’ circumstances. This, in turn, builds empathy.Still, casual friends have a lot to offer. Uncovering surprising tidbits(花边新闻) about the regular players in one’s life—discovering that your neighbor is an accomplished dancer, for instance—can spice up your day.So next time you see a friendly face when you’ re out and about, you might as well try to initiate small talks.V. Translation（简答3’+3’+4’+5’=15’）Directions: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.72.要确保你在房屋摇晃的时候待在牢固的家具下方不动。

The mere thought of booking the exam made me feel completely strained. However, fate had other plans in store for me.Just when I thought things couldn't get any worse, my trusty 10-year-old electric piano malfunctioned. The middle C note played as an F-sharp, and multiple other keys were out of tune.Despite my distress, my father refused to buy a new piano and instead urged me to be more resourceful. Initially, I was at a loss without my beloved electric piano. But after struggling for a few days, I decided to practice at school. Throughout my time at the private school, I was determined to find every available piano room on campus. After discovering hidden pianos in corners, I spent countless hours practicing. As my exam drew near, the music teachers knew exactly where to find me.One day, while practicing in a piano room, one of my teachers walked in and offered me a mini exam. To my surprise, she was impressed by my progress and offered valuable feedback on how to improve my technique. My hard work and dedication paid off. Behind the piano, I found a place where I could be anyone.Playing the piano became my escape from the anxieties of adolescence and allowed me to express myself freely. When it was time to play in front of the examiner, I no longer feared judgment. Instead, I only feared not being able to represent all my hard work. As the lights came on, I thought about the incredible journey that brought me to that moment.Eventually, I received my mark. Not only did I achieve a rarely given “well done〞, but I also discovered a newfound appreciation for music. Whenever I feel discouraged, I look at the gleaming keys of my new upright piano and remember the valuable lesson I learned. As my father always says, some lessons are best learned the hard way.24.

God helps those who help themselves.CActor Justin Baldoni once remarked that “Girls are weak, and boys are strong〞, a message that has unconsciously influenced millions of children, including himself. As a child, Justindesperately sought acceptance from others, causing him to pretend to be strong when he was weak and confident when he was insecure. But is this a healthy way to live?Unfortunately, some people believe so. They propose to “prevent the feminization of male youths〞and request that schools hire more physical education teachers to cultivate manliness in students. However, this idea has sparked a heated debate online, with many arguing that it reinforces gender stereotypes.But what exactly is manliness, and why is it so controversial? At its core, “manliness〞refers to qualities traditionally associated with men, such as strength, courage, and emotional control. However, these seemingly admirable qualities can be taken to unrealistic extremes. Boys are human and should not be blindly asked to control their emotions “like a man〞as it can lead to long-term psychological damage.As an educator with years of experience teaching in China, I believe that physical education is essential for students, not just for physical fitness but also to develop lifelong skills such as leadership and communication. However, focusing solely on manliness as a reason for doing so is misguided. It is unnecessary for all boys to build up their muscles, but it is crucial that they learn to be strong on the inside. Boys should be allowed to cry and show their vulnerability without fear of judgment.Instead, schools ought to prioritize imparting essential life skills and values to students, rather than reinforcing outdated stereotypes. As the Chinese state broadcaster CCTV put it, “Education is not simply about cultivating men and women. It's more important to develop a willingness to take responsibility.〞It is time to move beyond harmful gender norms and embrace a more open and diverse approach to education.28. Why did young Justin Baidoni pretend to be someone he wasn't?A. He longed to be acknowledged as a real man.B. It was secure and safe for him to do so.C. He was trying to be strong and confident.D. It was necessary for an actor to be manly and tough.29. What's the harm in expecting boys to control their emotions"like a man"?A. It can weaken gender stereotypes.B. It can make them weak and insecure.C. It will bring about long-lasting inner woundsD. It will prevent them developing their emotional control.30. What can we learn from the passage?A. Manliness is out of date.B. Manliness is overemphasized.C. Manliness aims to cultivate life skills.D. Manliness only focuses on physical fitness.31. What's the author's purpose in writing the passage?A. To explain what manliness stereotype is.B. To analyze the causes of gender inequality.C. To call on a more inclusive gender education.D. To highlight the importance of school education.DGoogle researchers have developed an AI tool, called MusicLM, which is designed to create music based on a set of descriptive words. While it is not the first AI music tool to launch, MusicLM demonstrates remarkable creative ability in generating music from limited inputs. To use the system, users enter words that describe the type of music they want to create, such as "a continuous calming violin backed by a soft guitar sound". These descriptions can include different music styles, instruments, or existing sounds. The more detailed the description, the better thesystem can attempt to produce the desired music.MusicLM has generated several examples of music based on one or two-word descriptions such as “jazz〞or “techno〞. The system can also create music from more detailed descriptions containing whole sentences. The resulting music closely matches the input description. According to the team, the system can also generate music based on a person's own singing, whistling, or playing an instrument. It produces high-quality music that can last several minutes while being staunch to the written descriptions.Although the MusicLM system is not yet available to the public, Google has released a dataset〔数据集〕of more than 5, 500 music-writing pairs, prepared by professional musicians called MusicCaps. This dataset can help advance the progress of other Al music generators.The MusicLM system is an exciting development in the field of AI-generated music. It has the potential to help users quickly and easily create high-quality music. However, the team also acknowledges that machine learning has some risks associated with it. Just like any emerging technology, it is vital to thoughtfully examine and resolve any ethical issues that may surface.In conclusion, MusicLM is a promising tool that can generate high-quality music based on limited inputs. Its ability to create music from descriptions, singing, whistling, or playing an instrument is impressive. While its potential is exciting, it is crucial to address any ethical concerns that may arise from using this new technology.32. How does MusicLM work?A. It adapts music from recordings.B. It generates music from written descriptions.C It teaches users how to play a musical instrument.D. It recommends songs based on a user's listening history.33. What does the underlines word “staunch〞in paragraph 2 probably mean?A. Blind.B. Important.C. Original.D. Faithful.34. Why did Google release the MusicCaps dataset?A. To allow the public to use MusicLM.B. To display the capabilities of MusicLM.C. To help develop other AI music generatorsD. To promote the MusicCaps music-writing service.35. What can be the best title for the passage?A. MusicLM—an example of AI systemsB. Google's MusicLM—AI music creationC. Risks and Benefits of AI-generaied MusicD. Using MusicCaps Dataset to Advance AI Music第二节〔共5小题；每题2. 5分，总分值12. 5分〕阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最正确选项。

辽宁省大连市2023~2024学年高二下学期期末考试英语英语试卷

辽宁省大连市2023~2024学年高二下学期期末考试英语英语试卷一、阅读理解The World’s 4 Best Long-distance HikesSeveral new long-distance, multi-day hikes have been launched that promise visitors unique access to previously inaccessible areas, where natural landscapes and local cultures arefound.Juliana TrailSlovenia introduced the Juliana Trail in an attempt to get visitors to stay there longer and visit more. The 270km route begins at the adventure center of Kranjska Gora, near the Italian border, before circling around the Julian Alps past turquoise rivers and glacier-carved lakes. The trail is divided into 16 stages, so you can choose a shorter adventure or tackle the entire trail.Red Sea Mountain TrailMainland Egypt’s first long-distance hiking path, the Red Sea Mountain Trail links a series of ancient trade routes into a single 170km circuit that takes an average of 10 days to complete. Hikes brave enough to set off into this remote wilderness will skirt vast plain, dip into deep gorges and summit barren peaks to visit ruined Roman towns and prehistoric rock art.Paparoa Track The 5km Paparoa Track in New Zealand snakes into the rainforests of the South Island near the famous Pancake Rocks. The freshly carved trail typically takes three days on foot, or two days on a mountain bike. Along the way, you pass river gorges and hilltop lookouts with expansive views over the turquoise Tasman Sea.Liechtenstein TrailLiechtenstein celebrated its 300th birthday in 2019 by crafting a 75km walking path where citizens and visitors alike could explore three centuries of local history. The Liechtenstein Trail twists over peaks and pastures on a route that takes in 147 sites. The zigzagging north-south route takes about three days to complete.1．Why did Slovenia launch the Juliana Trail?A．To show the beauty of the Italian border.B．To attract tourists to visit Slovenia more.C．To protect the environment of the Julian Alps.D．To promote the development of local economy.2．Which is the shortest trail?A．Juliana Trail.B．Paparoa Track.C．Liechtenstein Trail.D．Red Sea Mountain Trail.3．What is special about LiechtensteinTrail?A．It offers a window into local history.B．Visitors have access to prehistoric rock art.C．Hikers can ride a mountain bike on the trail.D．It takes visitors through fascinating valleys.Born in 1958 in Nanning, Guangxi, Dr. Huang Danian became interested in geophysics early. His parents, teaching at a local geological institution, passed the passion down to him. In 1978, Huang was admitted to Changchun Institute of Geology and later taught there. He once wrote that rejuvenating (使恢复活力) the Chinese nation was their generation’s responsibility.In 1992, he went to Britain for further studies. There, he obtained his doctorate in geophysics and joined a local firm. During his time in the UK, Huang’s heart remained devoted to the motherland, frequently flying back to China to attend academic meetings or seminars related to his field. In 2008, he returned to China with great resolution. For him, no matter how successful he was abroad, the biggest satisfaction would be improving his home country.Upon his return to China, he was entrusted to work at Jilin University as a professor and chief scientist in a branch of China’s biggest deep earth exploration program. Over 400 scientists participated in the program, which aimed to fix high-tech cameras on aircraft, ships, and satellites that would enable scientists to see through the earth’s crust (地壳) without digging into it.For seven years, Huang worked racing against time. Many of his co-workers called him a workaholic while he thought he was more like a “lunatic (疯狂的人)”. “China is in urgent need of ‘lunatics’ if it is to become a stronger country. It would be an honor if I could be one of them,” he added. The lunatic’s madness paid off. He and his team helped China greatly narrow its gap with developed countries in obtaining precise data on deep earth exploration. They created a number of China’s No.1s, filling many technical gaps for China’s sky survey, ground detection, and sea exploration.During his whole life, he sought no fame, and always kept the motherland in mind. As a scientist, he fulfilled his dream of rejuvenating the nation with exceptional achievements. 4．Why did Dr. Huang decide to return and work in China?A．To work at Jilin University.B．To attend academic meetings.C．To devote himself to researching.D．To serve his motherland whole-heartedly.5．What did the deep-earth exploration program focus on?A．Discovering new mineral resources.B．Competing with developed countries.C．Equipping various platforms with cameras.D．Helping scientists explore beneath the earth’s crust.6．What did Huang and his team achieve?A．They won many international awards.B．They got accurate data on deep ocean.C．They attained many firsts in relevant fields.D．They helped China overtake developed countries.7．Which of the following can best describe Dr. Huang?A．Committed and patriotic.B．Enterprising and crazy.C．Sensitive and rigid.D．Single-minded and unreliable.Cyber-attacks may sound like something that happens only in Hollywood movies. You picture a team of talented hackers gathered around computer monitors trying to break into a secure bank or some important severs. In reality, cyber-attacks are much less exciting but no less dangerous.Cyber-attacks can happen to anybody. It doesn’t matter who you are; cyber criminals can target you. While many often think hacking victims were clueless abut digital security best practices, this isn’t always the case. True, there are plenty of apparent scams (骗局) that can be easily identified, but there are many attacks that can fool even the skillful computer-users.Criminals create fake websites and email addresses. You may think you are clicking a linkto Dropbox, only to download malware (恶意软件) onto your computer, and may never know when you have visited the wrong site and downloaded an infected file. So, it’s up to you to be vigilant and protect yourself.So you need to learn to recognize the signs of cyber-attacks. First, recognize suspicious activity on your accounts or devices. While some things may be obvious, such as account password changes, others aren’t so easy to spot. And then, you might receive a file from a trusted sender whose mail has been leaked. Sometimes, the data are even real, but the hacker may have inserted a few lines of code that can also infect your computer. You should take the time to check your “Task Manager” to get a sense of what programs are running. Check anything suspicious that’s running in the background. That’s often the sign of malware. Other things to watch out for include: random device or internet slowdown; the software you don’t recognize; inability to access your account or unscheduled shutdowns and restarts.As with everything, prevention is the best medicine. So, instead of waiting for cyber-attacks to hit you, recognize the signs to protect yourself.8．What can we learn from the first two paragraphs?A．Cyber-attacks are not really dangerous.B．Anyone can be subject to cyber-attacks.C．People don’t realize the risk of cyber-attacks.D．Cyber-attacks in Hollywood movies are exciting.9．What does the underlined word “vigilant” in paragraph 3 mean?A．Dismissive.B．Upset.C．Cautious.D．Concerned. 10．How do you find you might be attacked by cyber criminals?A．A trusted friend sent you a file.B．Your internet slows down strangely.C．You can access your account with ease.D．Your account password functions normally.11．What’s the author’s main purpose in writing the text?A．To clarify the definition of cyber-attacks.B．To analyze different types of cyber-attacks.C．To introduce how to identify cyber-attacks.D．To entertain readers with cyber-attacks in movies.China is currently constructing the world’s first commercial underwater data center, which marks a groundbreaking initiative. This project aims to revolutionize the industry by controlling the power of the ocean depths, resulting in significant energy and land savings. With the potential to match the computational abilities of approximately 6 million conventional personal computers, this underwater data center is ready to be a game-changer.The data center modules of China’s underwater facility are being installed on the seafloor at depths of around 35 meters. Designed to withstand harsh underwater conditions, these modules are expected to operate sustainably for up to 25 years. Each waterproof storage module weighs an impressive 1,300 tons and can process over 4 million high-definition images every 30 seconds.One of the most significant advantages of the underwater data center is the ability to use the natural cooling qualities of seawater. By adopting this innovative approach, the data center is estimated to save a remarkable 122 million kilowatt-hours of electricity annually. This achievement in energy efficiency emphasizes China’s commitment to sustainability and educing environmental impact.With the initial arrangement of one storage module in April, 2023 and the recent addition of a second module, the project is well underway. The grand plan aims to have a total of 100 modules fully operational by 2025, marking a significant milestone in sustainable data center development.By choosing an underwater data center, China is actively addressing the challenges of land conservation. Traditional data centers often occupy vast amounts of land. In contrast, this underwater marvel takes up minimal dry space, preserving land for other essential purposes. Additionally, the use of natural sate cooling reduces the stress on traditional energy sources, leading to a significant reduction in carbon emissions.

Thinking positively, with a belief that most things will turn out well, is called optimism — and it’s known to boost your well-being. The good news is that everybody can learn to think more positively.17Research shows that people who are optimistic and think positively tend to experience less stress and cope well when faced with life’s challenges. People who are more pessimistic (expect that the worst will happen) may find it hard to believe that these challenges will pass.Worrying is like a fire alarm.Everybody can worry from time to time. Worrying can help to keep you safe — if you were never worried and were overly positive about how things would turn out, you wouldn’t recognize risks. “ 18 It’s like a fire alarm,” says child psychotherapist Rachel Melville-Thomas. “The trouble is that sometimes it goes off when there isn’t a huge danger to face.” When this happens, you can feel anxious and hopeless about what lies ahead.Learn to think positively.Optimism is shaped by your genes which carry characteristics inherited from your parents and by what happens to you. 19 Research has shown that it can help to draw or write an outcome that’s positive-for example, an image of you playing guitar, having passed your next grade. 20A．Your genes will in turn help obtain it.B．This question makes you lost in thought.C．Why is thinking positively good for you?D．Imagining this can motivate you to work to achieve it.E．Worrying is our brain warning us of something threatening.F．However, whatever your starting point is, everyone can learn it.G．This saying is often used to test people’s outlook in a situation.二、完形填空I’m pretty good at sticking with things even when they get hard.

Quitting is a sign that you lack 24 and strong will, or at least I was raised to believe.25 , if I look back on all the things I eventually quit, my only regret is that I didn’t do it sooner.

John Smith was so forgetful that he sometimes forgot what he was talking about in the middle of a sentence. His wife had to constantly remind him about his meetings, his classes — even his meals. Once he forgot he ate breakfast twice, at home and at school. His wife liked to remind her neighbors, “If John didn’t have his head tied on, he would forget that too!” Since Smith was a professor at a well-known university, his forgetfulness was often an embarrassment. It wasn’t that he was not clever, as some critical people tended to say, just very, very absent-minded. One hot summer day, Professor Smith decided to take his children to a seaside town about a three-hour train ride away. To make the trip more interesting for his young children, he kept the name of the town a secret. However, by the time they arrived at the station, Smith forgot the name of the town he was planning to visit. Luckily, a friend of his happened to be in the station. He offered to take care of the children while Smith hurried back home to find out where he was going.The professor’s wife was surprised to see him again so soon. “Oh, my dear, I forgot the name of the town.” “What? You forgot the name? May be one day you will forget my name! Now I’ll write the name of that town on a piece of paper, and you put it in your pocket and please, please don’t forget where you put it.”Satisfied that she had solved the problem, she sent her husband off again. Ten minutes later she was astonished to see him outside the house for the third time.“What is the matter now?”“As you told me, I didn’t forget where I put the name of that town, but I forgot where I left our children!”56. In the opinion of the writer of this passage, the professor is ________.A. forgetfulB. criticalC. foolishD. careless57. The underlined word “embarrassment” in the first paragraph may mean________.A. amusementB. satisfactionC. funD. discomfort58. From the end of the story, we know Mrs Smith would probably be very_______.A. satisfiedB. angryC. sorryD. funny59. He kept the name of the town a secret because_______.A. he wanted to give the children a surprise.B. he forgot it.C. he didn’t know where to go.D. his wife didn’t put the adress in his pocket.BWhen someone says , “Well , I guess I’ll have to go to face the music,” It doesn’t mean he is planning to go to a concert . It is something far less pleasant , like being called in by your boss to explain why you did this or that , and why you did not do this or that . Sour （刺耳）music , indeed , but it has to be faced .The phrase “to face the music” is familiar to every American , young and old . It is at least 100 years old . Where did the expression come from ?The first information comes from the American writer James Fenimore Cooper . He said—in 1851—that the expression was first used by actors while waiting in the wings （侧）to go on stage . After they got their clue（暗示）to go on , they often said , “It’s time to go to face the music.”And that is exactly what they did —face the orchestra（管弦乐队）which was just below the stage .An actor might be frightened or nervous as he moved on to the stage in front of the audience that might be friendly or perhaps unfriendly , especially if he forgot his lines. But he had to go out .So, “to face the music” came to mean : having to go through something , no matter how unpleasant the experience might be , because you knew you had no choice .The other explanation comes from the army . Men had to face inspection（检阅）by their leader . The soldiers worried about how well they looked . Was their equipment clean—shiny enough to pass inspection ? Still , the men had to go out , and face the music of the band , as well as the inspection . What else could they do ?60．The phrase “to face the music” was first used by .A．all the Americans B．the American writer James Fenimore Cooper C．American actors D．the American orchestra61．An actor might feel frightened or nervous when going on stage .One ofthe reasons is that .A．his performance might not satisfy most of the audienceB．he might not remember what he should say on stageC．he had to face the unfriendly audienceD．the audience might be mostly his friends62． “To face the music” is also used to mean that soldiers were not willing .A．to be examined about their equipment B．to be found weakC．to show themselves by their leader D．to be inspected by their leader63．This passage is mainly about .A．the meaning of the phrase “to face the music”B．how to deal with something unpleasantC．the origin（起源）of the phraseD．how to go through difficultyCRules for the University Entrance Examination●You must be at the examination center ten minutes before the examination starts.
