A large dinner party is being given in an up-country station by a colonial official and his wife. The guests are army and government officers and their wives, and an American naturalist.At one side of the long table, a spirited discussion springs up between a young girl and an army officer. The girl insists women have long outgrown the jumping-on-a-chair-at-the-sight-of-a-mouse era, and that they are not as anxious as their grandmothers were. The officer says they are, arguing women haven't the actual nerve control of men."A woman's reaction in any crisis," the officer says, "is to scream. And while a man may feel like it, he has that ounce more of control than a woman has."The American scientist does not join in the argument but sits and watches the faces of the other guests. As he stares, he sees a slight, though strange look of anxiety come over the face of the hostess. With a small gesture she summons the servant standing behind her chair. She whispers to him. The servant's eyes widen. He turns quickly and leaves the room. No one else sees this, nor the servant when he puts a bowl of milk on the balcony outside the glass doors.The American understands. In India, milk in a bowl means only one thing. It is bait for a snake. He realizes there is a cobra in the room. The American's eyes move across the room but he sees nothing. He realizes the snake can only be in one place—under the table.His first reaction is to jump back and warn the others. But he knows any sudden movement will frighten the cobra and it will strike. He speaks quickly, the quality of his voice so arresting that it quietens everyone. "I want to know just what control everyone at this table has. I will count three hundred—that's five minutes —and not one of you is to move a single muscle. Now! Ready!"The 20 people sit like stone images while he counts. He is saying "…two hundred and eighty..." when, out of the corner of his eye, he sees the snake emerge and make for the bowl of milk. Four or five screams ring out as he jumps to slam shut the balcony doors."There is your proof!" the host says. "A man has just shown us real control.""Just a minute," the American says, turning to his hostess, "How did you know that cobra was in the room?"A faint smile comes across the woman's face as she replies. "Because it was lying across my foot."（1）What is the argument between the army officer and the young girl about?A.Whether women are afraid of mice.B.Whether men are calmer than women.C.Whether men are cleverer than women.D.Whether women would make suitable soldiers.（2）Why is the servant asked to put out some milk?A.To play a trick.B.To serve the guests.C.To attract the snake.D.To feed the hostess's pet.（3）Why does the scientist suggest the guests play a game?A.He doesn't want anyone to panic.B.He intends to test the officer's theory.C.He sees there was a snake in the room.D.He wants to entertain the other guests.（4）What does the author imply through the hostess's final statement?A.The army officer's opinion is wrong.B.The hostess understood the American's intention.C.The American was surprised by the snake's presence.D.The hostess has had previous experience dealing with snakes.6.Have you ever heard of a pawpaw（木瓜）? If not, do not feel bad. Most Americans do not know of the fruit, though it is native to the United States.Once, however, it was one of the most popular fruits in North America. Happily, those who love the pawpaw are trying to return it to its former position in American foods. A pawpaw is a tropical-like fruit that grows on trees found all over the eastern United States. It's also the largest fruit native to the US.It is similar to a typical mango in size. It has a dull green-colored skin, and a soft, almost-creamy orange inside. The pawpaw was not sold commercially in the past. The fruit requires a very special environment-low, wet areas that sometimes flood. It has a very short harvest season, from two to three weeks in September and October. In addition, the fruit is good to eat for only two to three days after harvesting. This makes it hard to sell anywhere distant from the pawpaw tree it came from.Planters are again growing pawpaw trees and harvesting the fruit. In several states farmers haveorganized "pawpaw festivals" to reintroduce people to the food. At such a festival in Maryland recently, farmers displayed different products made with pawpaws. There were pawpaw jams, pies, gelato（冰淇淋）and beer. Michael Judd helped organize the Maryland pawpaw festival.Farmers are trying to grow kinds of pawpaws that will be easier to ship and sell commercially. Donna and Jim Davis are pawpaw farmers in Westminster, Maryland. They said that they purchased their pawpaw trees in the 1990s and now sell the fruit at farmer's markets and online.（1）What can we know about the pawpaw according to the text?A.Its harvest season lasts long.B.It grows in Europe originally.C.It has already returned to its former position.D.It used to be well-received in North America.（2）What limited the pawpaw to being sold commercially in the past?A.It was unknown to the world.B.It's hard to grow, store and transport.C.It has similar taste with typical mangoes.D.The planters were unwilling to grow them for low profits.（3）Why do farmers hold "pawpaw festivals"?A.To show lots of delicious food to people.B.To make the pawpaw known to people again.C.To introduce people to a completely new fruit.D.To tell people the forgotten history about the fruit.（5）What is the best title for the text?A.The History of Pawpaws.B.How to Grow Pawpaws.C.The Comeback of Pawpaws.D.The Origin of Pawpaw Festival.四、七选五（本题共计 1 小题，共计5分）7. （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。

湖北省部分学校2023-2024学年高二下学期6月月考英语试题
湖北省部分学校2023-2024学年高二下学期6月月考英语试题一、阅读理解How to explore Yellowstone National Park in just two days? Here is an incredible 2-day itinerary (行程) that enables you to see Yellowstone’s best in just one weekend.DAY ONE●Lamar Valley: This grassy valley supports huge numbers of bears, wolves, deer, bisons, coyotes and bald eagles. To see a wolf, get up before sunrise and head to Lamar Valley in the park’s northeast corner.●Mammoth Hot Springs: Near the park's north entrance, stop at Mammoth Hot Springs where you can see colorful terraces (梯形地貌) formed by hot springs rising to the surface. You’ll see about 50 hot springs as you follow the boardwalks for 1.75 miles.●Old Faithful Inn: A trip to Yellowstone wouldn’t be complete without seeing one of the largest log structures in the world. Built from 1903 to 1904, the Old Faithful Inn is an amazing hotel worth visiting.DAY TWO●Grand Prismatic: Head to Midway Geyser Basin and walk along the boardwalk to see one of the world’s largest and deepest hot springs — Grand Prismatic Spring. It’s larger than a football field at 370 feet across and deeper than a 10-story building at 125 feet. Its colors are incredible and range from deep blue in the center to green to yellow and orange on the edges.●Yellowstone Lake: When you feel hungry, head for Yellowstone Lake, which has 141 miles of shoreline. Thirteen picnic areas line the lake’s shores. Be ready to enjoy a peaceful picnic.●Giant Waterfalls: The powerful Yellowstone River formed the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone which is home to three incredible waterfalls: Upper, Lower and Crystal falls. Seeing the waterfalls in the late afternoon or early evening light is breathtaking.1．Which of the following is the best place for watching wildlife?A．Lamar Valley.B．Giant Waterfalls.C．Grand Prismatic.D．Mammoth Hot Springs.2．What is the highlight of Old Faithful Inn?A．Its short history.B．Its surrounding wonders.C．Its modern design.D．Its unique architecture.3．What do we know about Grand Prismatic?A．It is blue on the edges.B．It is perfect for a picnic.C．It is very large in size.D．It owns three waterfalls.When Ben Edlavitch was in elementary school, his grandfather, David Levine, got him his first Lego set. Growing up in Richmond, Edlavitch enjoyed plenty of quality time with his grandfather. From Edlavitch’s young age, the two shared countless hours tending to Levine’s 1926 Ford Model A, which developed in them a working rapport (融洽) that served them well when they participated as contestants on the fourth season of Lego Masters, a reality competition show on Fox, in the fall of 2023.Edlavitch and Levine were among 12 teams chosen from over 2,000 applicants to appear on the show, hosted by Lego Batman himself, Will Arnett. Over the course of the show, the teams were tasked with creating original builds for a chance to win $100,000 and the title of Lego Master. To prepare for it, Edlavitch says, “We spent a lot of time together figuring out Lego techniques... We studied past seasons to see what the judges liked and responded to.”For Edlavitch, 21, a student at the University of Virginia studying community-focused architecture, Lego bricks build a lifetime of “play”, an essential aspect of his approach to architecture. “Lego teaches you a world perspective (视角), which is that you can take anything apart and put it back together again in a way that makes it better,” he says,“and that, I think, is what got me into architecture.”Aside from his builds on Lego Masters, Edlavitch has created a 433-brick model of the Richmond skyline and a Richmond city block. Moreover, Edlavitch says he will offer kids’ workshops that combine Lego and architecture in an approachable way, introducing the field to a new generation through “play”.According to Edlavitch, most people don’t think about architecture very seriously as a career until later high school or college, at which point a lot of these kind of old-fashioned programs are considered too late to get started, and this leads to a less diverse and less creative field. He hopes, through his builds and workshops, to model a different approach.4．How was Edlavitch and his grandfather’s performance at the show?A．Unsatisfying.B．Unexpected.C．Excellent.D．Worrying. 5．What did Edlavitch and his grandfather do for the show?A．They arranged three seasons.B．They consulted Lego Batman.C．They interviewed the judges.D．They studied Lego techniques.6．What does Edlavitch think of “play”?A．It is important for learning architecture.B．It takes up much of his study time.C．It fails to open opportunities for creation.D．It is meaningless for a new generation. 7．Why does Edlavitch decide to provide workshops for kids?A．To offer chances for them to recognize Lego.B．To develop their interest in architecture.C．To encourage them to be more serious.D．To show his talent in building Lego.Using AI, a group of researchers from Dalhouse University in Halifax have begun the work of translating the language of chickens. Dr. Suresh Neethirajan, one of the lead researchers of the study, set out to create a “universal chicken translator”, reported The Conversation.Chicken speech is actually a lot more complex than one might think. They can make different sounds, and the way they communicate with one another can be affected by their environment and age. Moreover, chickens also communicate through body language and facial expressions.Luckily, the researchers were able to use new Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies to help them begin to know what chickens are saying. According to The Conversation, AI can process and analyze huge amounts of sound data. It can recognize patterns and types of vocalizations (发声). Using this information and an AI technique called Natural Language Processing, the researchers began to interpret the emotional states of chickens. Moreover, the researchers also used data video to record the chickens’ expressions and facial temperatures, thus knowing how chickens respond to something stressful.Neethirajan said that his team’s interest in chicken communication isn’t just academic. “Farmers can use this knowledge to create better living conditions, leading to healthier andhappier chickens. This, in turn, can affect the quality of produce, animal health and overall farm efficiency,” he said.The more people understand animals, the more likely they are to care about their well-being. Other researchers could use the data and methods that Neethirajan and his team have collected to begin to understand other bird species, and take care of their well-being as well.As AI becomes more and more common in our lives, it can be misused more easily. Neethirajan and his team, however, are part of a push toward positive AI use. Instead of using AI for boring goals, they suggest using AI to create a better world. For this, they should be commended.8．Why is the complexity of chicken speech mentioned in paragraph 2?A．To introduce the lifestyles of chickens.B．To explain chickens’ ways of communication.C．To prove scientists’ idea of new AI technologies.D．To show the necessity to create chicken translators.9．What did Neethirajan’s team use Natural Language Processing to do?A．Observe chickens’ facial expressions.B．Track chickens’ temperatures.C．Learn about chickens’ feelings.D．Record chickens’ sounds.10．What does Neethirajan say about their finding?A．It can be beneficial to farmers.B．It needs further testing.C．It causes doubt among researchers.D．It is harmful to animals.11．What does the underlined word “commended” in the last paragraph probably mean?A．Invited.B．Praised.C．Ignored.D．Trained.Today’s teens are still going through the same physical and emotional transitions (过渡) older generations had, but they’re also burdened with pressures we never could have imagined even several years ago—from the cruel separation caused by social media to the terrifying impact of climate change. In the face of all this, how can teens overcome these challenges? While there’re no simple answers to this question, part of the way forward is learning self-compassion.Self-compassion means treating yourself with kindness and support when you’re having a hard time, being aware of difficult emotions and recognizing they’re a normal part of life. Thismay sound like no big deal, but actually, most of us do the opposite. When something’s happened that makes us feel bad, for example, we tend to be overly self-critical, often assuming that whatever happened was our fault.In a recently published study, my colleagues and I taught one group of teens the Mindful Self-Compassion for Teens (MSC-T) program. Eight sessions were designed to help them be more supportive and compassionate to themselves. Another group learned a healthy lifestyle course that included sessions on nutrition, exercise, sleep and healthy social media use.In our study, all the teens were exhibiting some anxious symptoms. The results showed that after six months, teens in the self-compassion group were over 2.5 times less likely to develop full-blown anxiety compared to teens in the healthy lifestyle group, suggesting the self-compassion course protected the teens from getting more anxious.Although we can’t determine how self-compassion is protective, we suspect it has to do with teens developing an understanding of common humanity. In one class, a teen said, “Whatever you’re feeling, you’re not alone in it. Somebody else will feel the same way, and will know where you’re coming from.”Self-compassion won’t solve all teens’ problems. But it’ll give them a new way to approach their problems without blaming themselves. As one teen said to me after taking a self-compassion course, “You know, it’s changed the way I look at myself and the world.” And that can make all the difference.12．What do most people tend to do when having a hard time?A．They criticize others.B．They seek support.C．They remain normal.D．They blame themselves.13．How did the author and his colleagues mainly draw their conclusion?A．By making comparisons.B．By listing numbers.C．By quoting sayings.D．By presenting examples.14．How can self-compassion affect teens in the author’s opinion?A．It helps develop kindness in them.B．It can give them a new viewpoint.C．It gets them to take care of others.D．It makes them emotionally weaker. 15．Which of the following is the best title for the text?A．How Can Teenagers Get Over Challenges in Life?B．How Is Self-Compassion Used to Fight Loneliness?C．Can Self-Compassion Help Teens With Anxiety?D．Is Guiding the Teen Years Harder Than Before?While most people appreciate the health advantages that come from running, cycling, or lifting weights, fewer people understand the benefits that come from a good swim. Actually, swimming provides a series of specific benefits.Arguably, the most important one is that it promotes heart health. According to a research, the practice improves circulation and cardiovascular (心血管的) efficiency, so one’s risk of heart attack decreases. 16 , which raises your heart rate and reduces your blood pressure effectively.17 . To push yourself forward, swimming requires the use of many major muscle groups of the body. These include core muscles, neck muscles, arm, hand and shoulder muscles, chest and back muscles, plus leg and feet muscles, thus contributing to muscle strengthening.Swimming can aid in weight management goals as well. 18 . One public health analysis found that a 155-pound person burns 281 calories per hour swimming at a medium pace but can burn as many as 704 calories per hour swimming freestyle at a vigorous (强有力的) pace.Additionally, swimming has mental health benefits. Studies show that moving through water increases blood flow to the brain and causes a release of dopamine (多巴胺). 19 .Given so many benefits of swimming, why not get started? Some experts recommend a mix of both swimming and other water-related works when starting out. Above all, making the experience enjoyable is key to ensuring you stick with it. “Swimming is not just an exercise but an enjoyable and refreshing experience. 20 ,” says Lori Sherlock, an exercise physiology professor at West Virginia University School of Medicine.A．Swimming is also good for every muscle in the bodyB．Swimming is a whole-body rhythmic and dynamic activityC．The butterfly stroke burns as many as 774 calories per hourD．Research shows that repeating swim movements can burn many caloriesE．There are some techniques about swimming which need to be practicedF．In this way, swimming has even been shown to improve memory functionG．It can also enhance your physical health, mental well-being and quality of life二、完形填空I stared at the screen, re-reading the message from my friend, Noelle. Someone had 21 her by sharing her personal news — she had been refused by her dream school, which Noelle had shared with only several people.

I didn’t admit my action, but I’d expressed regret and 31 her pain. But, deep down, I knew I’d been the one to 32 faith and hurt her. I was ashamed, not only for my original action, but because I’d heaped (堆积) wrong upon wrong by 33 it up.I felt painful. I knew what stood between me and doing the right thing: my image.

In contrast to rushing past overcrowded tourist landmarks, the new trend has emerged as a popular alternative to explore bustling markets, ancient streets, and charming alleys at a leisurely pace.The appeal of Citywalk caters particularly to the younger generation often caught up in demanding work schedules. As evidenced by the increasing popularity of hash tags like “City walk for vacation” on lifestyle sharing platform Xiaohong shu, with a staggering 465 million views and nearly 464, 600 engagements, the trend is truly capturing unbelievable attention.Citywalk, or meandering through the urban landscapes, means the act of walking freely along city streets unburdened by exhaustive plans. It offers people an avenue to intimately experience urban culture and local traditions. Citywalk is not merely about sightseeing. It creates an opportunity for social interactions and deep connections with the cities. Citywalk routes are tailored to the specific interests of both out-of-town tourists and locals. For tourists, the focus is on sharing local customs and traditions, while for locals, discussions revolve around the city’s past, present, and future. The growing trend of Citywalk reflects a changing attitude towards life, embracing a warmer, more relaxed, and slower-paced lifestyle.As Citywalk expands beyond first-tier cities like Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou, to second-and third-tier cities across the county, it brings fresh opportunities for the tourism industry, in such areas as dining, shopping, and accommodation.Governments in Beijing and Shandong have recognized the potential of Citywalk, incorporating it into their action plans to promote cultural tourism and leisure activities. In Shanghai, public bus lines specially designed have been introduced to elevate the overall Citywalk for participants.“By slowing down and delving into the narrow alleys, observing the lives of city residents, and immersing oneself in the context of museums and art galleries, one is entitled to embrace the pleasure of life,” said Luo Jun, a cultural tourism enthusiast.4．What’s the main reason for the popularity of Citywalk among young people?A．It mainly focuses on urban sightseeing.B．Social media offer many tempting videos.C．Busywork schedule limits the choice of people.D．Conventional tourist landmarks are losing charm.A．Astonishing.B．Rewarding.C．Embarrassing.D．Shrinking. 6．Which of the following statements is NOT Citywalk?A．An immersive route for foreigners to enjoy the alleys in Chengdu.B．A holiday travel to hurriedly visit crowded landmarks in Shanghai.C．A free walk including visiting museums and old towns in Qingdao.D．A leisurely tour along Qiantang River to experience city transformation.7．What have some governments done to promote Citywalk?A．Facilities in the museums have been enhanced.B．Cooperation has been strengthened among cities.C．Opportunities have been offered to third-tier cities.D．Specific public transportation routes have been introduced.There are many differences in ways of thinking between East and West. Many of them are reflected in daily behaviour. In particular, Chinese people sometimes attach more importance to their appearance and social status than to their inner qualities, while Westerners think the opposite. However, Socrates (Ancient Greek philosopher) and Confucius share significant similarities that are universal.Both philosophers share several teachings in common; for example, their understanding of the nature of knowledge and their opinions on education. Socrates believed “There is only one good, knowledge;and only one evil, ignorance.” Similarly, Confucius said, “Isn’t it a pleasure to study and practice what you have learned?” But both also acknowledge the limits of knowledge. Socrates said: “All I know is that I know nothing.” Similarly, Confucius said, “When you know a thing, to hold you know it; when you don’t know a thing, to allow you don’t know it-this is knowledge.”However, there are important differences in their understanding of morality. Confucius believed each person should follow certain regulations according to virtue(德行). Everyone should play their role in a society where people are interdependent in order to achieveharmony in the whole society. For instance, when asked how to govern a country, Confucius stated “An emperor should act like an emperor, a subject should act like a subject.” Socrates, however, places self-knowledge over social knowledge.Another difference between them is their attitude towards political domination(支配). Confucius believed the best way to govern a country isn’t through legal system, but through virtue. Socrates, by contrast, declared that “nothing is more important than justice”.Why have East and West developed such different cultural values? A widely accepted theory holds that Eastern civilization was an agricultural civilization. Hence the need for a collective society and friendly relations with neighbors was strong. Western civilization, however, was nomadic(游牧的). Their mobility makes them less dependent on society after migration.In spite of their differences, the two cultures have more in common than differences. The shared concern for moral values in the teachings of Socrates and Confucius also shows us more fundamental similarities between Eastern and Western cultures in their pursuit of virtuous lives.8．What do the two philosophers share about knowledge?A．The learning of knowledge is easy.B．The learning of knowledge is endless.C．A man without knowledge is foolish.D．A man shall not pretend to understand. 9．Which of the following reflects the thoughts of Confucius in terms of morality?A．Nothing is more important than a legal system.B．I am not a Chinese, but a citizen of the world.C．Not everyone should play his own role in society.D．A man does what is proper to the position he is in.10．What is the root cause of the differences between Eastern and Western cultural values?A．The difference in political atmosphere.B．The difference in the length of history.C．The difference in economic development.D．The difference in levels of social dependency.11．What is the passage mainly about?A．Reasons for similarities of Eastern and Western cultures.B．The introduction of great figures of two different cultures.C．Comparisons of the thoughts of the two great philosophers.D．The contributions of two great philosophers to civilization.The first apes evolved 20 million years ago in the forests where they would go up a tree to get their food, and then come back down to move on to the next tree. Getting out of a tree presents all kinds of new challenges. Big apes can’t afford to fall because it could kill or badly injure them. Natural selection would have favored those with body structures that allowed them to descend safely.Dartmouth researchers report in the journal Royal Society Open Science that apes probably evolved free-moving shoulders and flexible elbows to slow their descent from trees as gravity pulled on their heavier bodies. These flexible body parts passed on from ancestral apes would have allowed early humans to climb trees at night for safety and comedown in the daylight unhurt. When early humans transitioned from forests to open savannas (热带稀树草原), flexible shoulders and elbows were crucial for gathering food and using tools for hunting and defense.The researchers used sports analysis and statistical software to study how primates(灵长目动物) like chimpanzees and small monkeys called mangabeys climbed in the wild. They found that chimps and mangabeys scaled(攀爬) trees similarly, with shoulders and elbows mostly bent close to the body. When descending, however, chimpanzees extended their arms above their heads to hold on to branches, much like a person using a ladder, to counteract(抵消) their heavier weight pulling them downward.Luke Fannin, the lead author of the study, emphasized that their findings highlight the importance of “down climbing” in the evolution of apes and early humans. He explained, “Our research introduces the idea that down climbing played a significant role in shaping the structural differences between monkeys and apes, which eventually manifested in humans.”“Our field has thought about apes climbing up trees for a long time, but we’ve been ignoring the second half of this behavior,” said Professor Jeremy DeSilva, “The findings are among the first to identify the significance of “down climbing” in the evolution of apes and early humans.12．According to paragraph 1, apes would have been favored by natural selection if .A．they have sufficient food resources.B．they come down from trees securely.C．they master skills of climbing up trees.D．they cure themselves when they’re injured.13．What is paragraph 3 mainly about?A．The similarity of two primates in tree climbingB．The evolution of two primates’ adaptation to nature.C．The analysis of primates’ tree scaling and descendingD．The application of different research methods and tools.14．Which of the following statement might DeSilva agree with?A．Descending trees has been neglected by researchers for a long time.B．The study is the first to recognize the significance of down climbingC．The evolution of apes and early humans is a result of down climbing.D．Studies on climbing down trees are more likely to have new findings.15．What is the best title of the passage?A．Chimpanzees and Mangabeys: Researches in Natural SettingsB．Apes and Humans: A Comparative Study of Climbing up TreesC．Shoulders and Elbows: Evolved as Brakes for Downclimbing ApesD．Apes’ Climbing Strategies: How to Use Different Body Parts FlexiblyIt is important to look after your body to help you to stay well and healthy for as long as you can. However, advice about caring for your body is conflicting and often confusing.difficult.17 Common sense tells us that even doing a bit more exercise or getting a bit more sleep, and not eating that second slice of cake, are likely to be helpful. The application of a little science, and quite a lot more common sense, can go a long way towards helping you to work out what’s best for you and your body.Why should you care about Your Body? Caring for your body makes sense. 18Around the world, there is a growing problem of lifestyle-related diseases. These are diseases that are, effectively, caused by the way we live our lives. Most, if not all of them, are associated with not looking after our bodies. Many are associated with being overweight and not taking enough exercise, or by putting the wrong substances into our bodies. These diseases and conditions include heart conditions, high blood pressure, many forms of cancer etc. 19 . However, looking after your body will go some way to helping you to live a healthier life, for longer.There are three very important aspects to looking after your body：getting enough rest and sleep, eating well, and taking exercise. 20 But with practice, you will get better at making sure that you take care of your body.A．It can be really hard to know what works the best.B．You cannot, of course, avoid every illness or condition.C．But if you do that too often, there will be consequences.D．However, a closer examination suggests that the situation is not quite that simple.E．Knowing what to do, and actually doing it are, of course, quite different things.F．However, just because it is puzzling does not mean the effort is not worthwhile.G．After all, you only get one body in this life, and you want it to last as long as possible.二、完形填空A group of generous mothers collected baby strollers(婴儿手推车)to help the homeless22．A．various B．cheap C．personal D．big 23．A．absence B．symbol C．character D．design 24．A．manage B．control C．predict D．represent 25．A．required B．permitted C．reminded D．promised 26．A．monitored B．examined C．assessed D．witnessed 27．A．privately B．actually C．crazily D．completely 28．A．support B．admiration C．protection D．demand. 29．A．process B．donation C．journey D．treatment 30．A．stress B．direction C．balance D．safety 31．A．repeat B．regain C．recall D．review 32．A．simple B．typical C．evident D．steady 33．A．figured out B．knocked off C．brought about D．attended to 34．A．reflected B．deserted C．handled D．inspired 35．A．apologized B．described C．displayed D．explained三、语法填空阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

高二一月月考(英语)试题含答案
高二一月月考（英语）（考试总分：120 分）一、阅读理解（本题共计3小题，总分25分）1.（7.5分）As a marathon runner and regular gym fan, physical fitness was my life. All that changed in May 1997 when I survived a near-deadly car accident. After several weeks in unconsciousness, I woke up with a raspy(沙哑的) voice and no balance. I had to relearn how to sit, stand, walk and move about. Seven years of physical treatment later, I began walking on my own, though slowly and haltingly(跛). I keep a walker around for when I need to move quickly.During all these years of recovery, I remained a gym fan. As I watched the personal trainers working with their customers, I knew I was as fit as they were. So I decided this would be my new purpose. I started studying for the personal training certification exam immediately. Once I did, my health club immediately hired me.However, if you don’t obtain customers, you don’t work. Who was going to choose me with a health club full of able-bodied trainers? A medical consultant suggested I teach group exercise classes in senior homes. Over time, I’ve been able to add more classes, such as balance exercises. Balance work is so important for older people. And for me too! Now the exercises I teach are helping me as much as they do my class. The years as a physical treatment patient have given me lots of cues to use as I teach my classes.A personal trainer —on a walker? It’s not something you see every day. While my students aren’t athletes or body builders, working with seniors gives me an audience that appreciates what I have overcome through regular exercise. I’m able to encourage them beyond what they thought they could do. No longer do my disabilities embarrass me or make me feel ashamed. They have led me to a new purpose in life: inspiring and encouraging thoseI serve.21. What new career would the author take up?A. A gym athlete.B. A marathon runner.C. A physical fitness instructor.D. A physical treatment consultant.22. What inspired the author to work again?A. His audience.B. Others’advice.C. His disabilities.D. The love for gym.23. Why did the author serve the old people?A. He was also a senior with disabilities.B. He couldn’t obtain young customers.C. He had much experience in the senior health.D. He was not as professional as the other personal trainers.2.（10分）As Internet users become more dependent on the Internet to store information, are people remembering less? If you know your computer will save information, why store it in your own personal memory, your brain? Experts are wondering if the Internet is changing what we remember and how.In a recent study, Professor Betsy Sparrow conducted some experiments. She and her research team wanted to know how the Internet is changing memory. In the first experiment, they gave people 40 unimportant facts to type into a computer. The first group of people understood that the computer would save the information. The second group understood that the computer would not save it. Later, the second group remembered the information better. People in the first group knew they could find the information again, so they did not try to remember it.In another experiment, the researchers gave people facts to remember, and told them where to find the information on the computer. The information was in a specific computer folder. Surprisingly, people later remembered the folder location better than the facts. When people use the Internet, they do not remember the information. Rather, they remember how to find it. This is called “transactive memory (交互记忆).”According to Sparrow, we are not becoming people with poor memories as a result of the Internet. Instead, computer users are developing stronger transactive memories: that is, people are learning how to organize huge quantities of information so that they are able to access it at a later date. This doesn’t mean we are becoming either more or less intelligent, but there is no doubt that the way we use memory is changing.24. The passage begins with two questions to _________.A. introduce the main topicB. show the author’s attitudeC. describe how to use the InternetD. explain how to store information25. What can we learn about the first experiment?A. Sparrow’s team typed the information into a computer.B. The two groups remembered the information equally well.C. The first group did not try to understand the information.D. The second group did not understand the information.26. In transactive memory, people _________.A. keep the information in mindB. change the quantity of informationC. organize information like a computerD.remember how to find the information27. What is the effect of the Internet according to Sparrow’s research?A. We are using memory differently.B. We are becoming more intelligent.C. We have poorer memories than before.D. We need a better way to access information.3.（7.5分）From July to October every year, about a quarter of the world’s blue whales feed in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of California. But the whales currently face a major threat in their favorite feeding area. Ships carrying cargo (货物）sail in the same area at the same time. All too often, the whales’ paths and the ships’ travel lines overlap (重叠), and a ship will hit a whale.According to a new study, these ship strikes have become a serious threat to the overall population of the world’s blue whales. Only about 10,000 of the creatures still exist worldwide. Blue whales are the largest known animals ever to live on Earth. Even so, if hit by a container ship, a blue whale will likely die from its injuries.In 2007 alone, large ships killed five blue whales in the waters off San Francisco and Los Angeles, California. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) says that because there are so few whales already, losing three to five from the California whale population every year is a significant loss. “The estimated population of blue whalesin this part of the Pacific is 2,500”, says Sean Hastings, a NOAA analyst. “So every whale counts toward this species moving off the endangered-species list.”Now, marine scientists must figure out how to protect the whales from the giant container ships. One very simple program is already under way in the Santa Barbara Channel, a waterway that separates mainland California from the nearby Channel Islands.The Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary has asked large container ships passing through the area to voluntarily slow down. Sailing slower will allow the ships crew (船员）more time to change course before hitting a whale.Several of the world’s largest shipping lines are set to participate in the new program. For every ship that passes through the Santa Barbara Channel at or below the reduced speed of 12 knots (海里/小时）, the company that owns the ship will be paid $2,500.28. From Paragraph 1, we can know that_____.A. people intend to illegally hunt blue whales for moneyB. large ships often carrying goods may pollute the seaC. the container ships may hit the blue whales frequentlyD. there is fewer fish in blue whales favorite feeding area29. According to Sean Hastings, it’s inferred that .A. the number of the blue whales is decreasing sharply.B. the blue whales are still on the endangered-species list.C. most of the world’s blue whales live in the Pacific Ocean.D. blue whales are often disturbed by other endangered creatures.30. What are the last three paragraphs mainly about?A. The basic responsibility of a sailor.B. Measures to protect the blue whales.C. The world’s largest shipping lines.D. Ways to slow down the speed of the ships.二、阅读七选五（本题共计1小题，总分10分）4.（10分）How to Improve Your Study HabitsPerhaps you are an average student with average intelligence. You do well enough in school, but you probably think you will never be a top student. 31. _______ Yes, evenstudents of average intelligence can be top students without additional work. Here are some tips for you:1. Plan your time carefully. Make a list of your weekly tasks. Then make a schedule or chart of your time. Fill in committed time such as eating, sleeping, meetings, classes, etc. Then decide on good, regular times for studying. 32._______ It’s important to set aside time for relaxation, hobbies, and entertainment as well. Furthermore, it will enable you to plan your activities so that you have enough time for both work and play.2. Find a good place to study. Choose one place for your study area. It may be a desk or a chair at home or in the school library, but it should be comfortable, and it should not have distractions. When you begin to work, you should be able to concentrate on the subject.3. 33._______ Listening to what the teacher says in class means less work later. Sit where you can see and hear well. Take notes to help you remember what the teacher says.4. Study regularly. 34._______ Review important points mentioned in class as well as points you remain confused about. If you review your notes and textbook regularly, the material will become more meaningful and you will remember it longer. Regular review leads to improved performances on test.5. Develop a good attitude about tests. The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject. The world won’t end if you don’t pass a test, so don’t worry excessively about a single test. Tests provide more than grades. 35. _______A. Be volunteer to raise questions.B. Make good use of your time in class.C. Go over your notes as soon as you can after class.D. Those who make the best of their time study with more ease.E. They also let you know what you need to spend more time studying on.F. Of course, studying shouldn’t occupy all of the free time on the schedule.G. This is not necessary the case, however.

Firstly, what confuses me most is the proper use of tenses. I often mix up tenses, leading to low scores on my writings, What’s more, I s truggle to find appropriate wordsto express myself accurately. Despite my massive efforts to expand my vocabulary, words still fail me when I need to write. In addition, I find it difficult to make my writing well-structured and coherent, which frustrates me a lot.I’d appreciate it if you could give me some practical suggestions on my problems. Looking forward to your reply.Yours,Li Hua第二节(满分25分)Before I knew it, I had only one day left for the project. In a panic I quickly glued together whatever materials I could find, my hands shaking with the weight of each hasty decision. The finished result looked miserable. However, several of my classmates, including Nate, had created amazingly detailed buildings. They used materials like clay, wood and so on and their constructions were highly praised by Mr. Smith. When I saw their models, I felt even more embarrassed about mine. It was apparent that they had put a lot more time into the assignment than I had.That taught me a great lesson. I learned from that day the importance of deciding on my priorities and budgeting my time. From then on, I tackled things a lot earlier instead of putting things off until tomorrow. As a result, not only did I finish my tasks ontime, but I also felt better because I didn’t have to panic at the last minute. At the end of the semester, my work was chosen by Mr. Smith on another occasion. Seeing my change, my parents and my sister were so proud of me. It dawned on me that getting things done on time instead of being a procrastinator really counted.听力录音稿Text 1M: Do you have any idea what’s wrong with my houseplant It gets plenty of sun and enough plant food...W: Are you watering it too often Remember this plant comes from the desert where there’s hardly any rain.M: Ah..Maybe that’s the problem!Text 2M: It seems to be human nature to pursue what we don’t have. Tall people want to be shorter, and short people want to be taller... W: I know. For example, when I was younger, my cousin always wanted my golden hair, and I wanted dark hair like hers.Text 3W: Hi, are there any tickets left for tonight’s concertM: Sorry, they’re sold out. But I can put you on the waiting list, in case there are any cancellations tonight. Would you like me to do thatW: Oh, yes, please. Let me give you my phone number.Text 4M: Oh, this is so annoying! We’ve been driving around for ages, and I haven’t seen a single space.W: There’s a street party going on in town today. That’s probably why it’s busy. Let’s try the supermarket... You can park there for free as long as you buy something.Text 5W: So, tell me a little bit about the character you played in your new film Last Weekend.M: Well, Jake is a sort of the ‘everyman’ character. He doesn’t have any special talents. In fact, he lives a pretty boring life, until his old friend Maggie returns to town...Text 6M: Can I borrow your phone for a second Mine is dead, and I can’t find my charger.W: Sure.M: Thanks. Hey, what’s wrong with your screen It’s all dark and the colors look strange.W: Oh! I’ve been using an app called “Sunset” to help me sleep at night.M: Really HowW: Well, studies show that too much blue light from screens can make sleeping difficult. So, in the evenings, the app puts a red filter (滤光器) over the screen to cancel it out.M: Oh, interesting. Does it helpW: Yeah, I think so! I also listen to white noise, which helps me fall asleep too.Text 7M: Can we do something about the temperature in here I have so many emails to deal with today, but my hands are so cold that I can hardly type my report!W: I know. I’ve been struggling too. But the heat probably won’t be turned on until the end of the month.M: Why notW: It’s a part of the company’s plans to save energy.M: Well, I can understand that. But how are we supposed to work in these conditionsW: I guess we always have the choice to work from home.M: True. But before my youngest daughter starts school, it’s just too difficult for me to do that. I wouldn’t be able to focus.W: Then I think we should talk to the boss about what can be done, otherwise people will start getting ill.Text 8W: Well, here we are! I can’t wait to get inside and see what’s on offer!M: I heard this year’s Mini Fair is going to be even bigger and better than last year’s. It won’t disappoint us.W: Oh really I had to go to a boring work event at that time, so I couldn’t come last year.M: Yes! I got so many things for my model train set.W: Like whatM: Well, the coolest things I got were some tiny little trees. They looked so real.W: Wow!M: I’m hoping t he guy who sells them is here again this year.W: I hope so! Now that I’m satisfied with the inside part of my dolls’ house, I want to focus on creating the garden. So, it would be great to get some little plants and trees. What about youM: I want some little model cars and people to add to my train station scene. But I need to find a toilet first.W: Over there, by the restaurant hall.M: Great. Meet you in five minutes, by the ticket desk.Text 9W: Hi, are you here for the tourM: Yes, I’m Michael Green. Are you the head girlW: That’s right. I’m Jayne Palmer. You look a bit older than the kids I usually show around the school!M: Ha-ha! Yeah, I’ll be sixteen next month.W: My birthday is in October, too!M: ReallyW: Yeah! So, why are you changing schoolsM: Well, my mom got a new job in this area, so we’re moving here. I’ve heard good things about this place.W: Well, as you can see, we have some great facilities... Here are the basketball courts. Then just behind them, you’ll see the football field and the running track. And that building over there is our swimming pool.M: Wow! There wasn’t room for anything like this at my previous school. I was on the swimming team, but we had to travel to use the city pool for our practices.W: Well, we’ve certainly got plenty of space. The arts teaching here is also excellent. We have a music studio and our own theater. M: Amazing!W: So, where would you like to go firstM: Well, I’m quite interested to see the science facilities. I’m hoping for a career in medicine.W: Okay, great! Well, the laboratories have all been updatedrecently, so we’ve got some really good equipment. Follow me. Text 10On my recent business trip to Shanghai, I met up with a local friend who took me out for a very interesting evening meal. At the Community AI Canteen, everything is done by robots. When you walk in there, you place your order on a screen. Using robotic arms, the intelligent cooking system then cooks your food before packing it up... It even adjusts the temperature, depending on whether you want to eat it straight away or take it home with you! To pay, you place your food on a smart cash desk, which immediately calculates (计算) the cost. There’s even a 24-hour noodle machine just outside, which offers hot and fresh food around the clock. The canteen offers a huge amount of choices and the dishes taste great. It is really fun to get “a taste of the future”. However, I’m not sure I would like all restaurants to be run by robots. I can see the benefits for busy families or office workers needing a quick lunch, but what about lonely older people who would miss the human touch I do think we will see more places like this in the future, though. At best, a human waiter can serve around 100 people in a day. The AI system can serve double that figure, making it good for business.荆州中学2024-2025学年高二上学期9月月考英语试题命题人：审题人：（全卷满分150分考试时间120分钟）第一部分听力(共两节，满分30分)第一节(共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分)听下面5段对话。

山西省吕梁市部分学校2024-2025学年高二上学期9月月考英语试卷
山西省吕梁市部分学校2024-2025学年高二上学期9月月考英语试卷一、阅读理解Want to see the world? Each year, TIME magazine makes a list of the World’s Greatest Places, which is provided by our readers. They will take us from cities to wilderness, and from tiny villages to faraway islands. Here are some of the best ones.Culture TripRapa Nui is an island in the Pacific Ocean. It’s also known as Easter Island. It’s famous for the massive and mysterious sculptures(雕像) made by the Rapa Nui people, who arrived about 1,200 years ago. The spirit of Hotu Matu’a, their early king, is said to have become a sea turtle.—By Johanna Read Lively SpotThe Galápagos Islands are located off the coast of Ecuador in South America. They are some of the most biodiverse places on Earth. Recently, marine-life protections were expanded in the area, limiting fishing and cresting safe paths for animals to travel through.—By Karen Catchpole Ancient PastAlentejo is a rural part of Portugal in Europe. It is covered with forests and olive groves. There are ancient cities, too. A museum in Estremoz shows off traditional tiles. In Esperanca, hikers can see eagles and vultures, plus 5,000-year-old cave paintings.—By Robin Catalano Bike It!Bogotá is the capital of Colombia in South America. It’s the perfect place for a bike ride. The city has taken steps to reduce pollution. It has more than 350 miles of bike paths. The city also has a bike share program, which will provide bicycles that people with disabilities can use.—By Kate Crittenden 1．What can people do on Rapa Nui?A．Meet Hotu Matu’a.B．Visit a museum.C．Enjoy sculptures.D．See eagles.2．Who recommends the Galápagos Islands?A．Johanna Read.B．Karen Catchpole.C．Robin Catalano.D．Kate Crittenden.3．Which place best suits people who like riding bikes?A．Estremoz.B．Alentejo.C．Esperanca.D．Bogotá.Finnish Lapland, in the far north of Europe, is home to some 180,000 people and around 200,000 reindeer (驯鹿). The animals live wild but each one has an owner, identified by a mark on its ear. Anne Ollila, 50, one of 4,000 such owners, works in the Finnish part of this region with her husband and two adult sons and their families. They farm the animals mainly for meat, but reindeer tourism has also become an important source of income.Ollila lives 80 kilometres inside the Arctic Circle, an hour from Lapland’s capital city, Rovaniemi, and seven kilometres from her nearest neighbour. Summer days — when the reindeer raisers earmark newborn reindeer — are long and in June the sun never sets. At that time Ollila sleeps during the day and walks up to 20 kilometres a night through the forest, making the most of the cooler temperatures to do her work but having to endure large groups of insects along the way.In deepest winter, there is little daylight. Many grasslands are frozen and the reindeer move into the forest for protection against wolves and golden eagles — the birds can kill an adult reindeer.Ollila and her family offer tourists reindeer experiences through their company Reindeer Journey. Visitors can get close to the animals in the wild or at their farm, watching them being trained to pull sledges (雪橇) or take a sleigh ride.“Reindeer are very smart animals,” Ollila says. “They have different personalities, and some are very funny.” One of her favourites is Rocky, named after the movie boxing legend. “He’s very curious and always in trouble,” she says. “He once got himself stuck in tree branches and had to be lifted out, and he has been known to walk off with his owners’ drying underwear.”Ollila gave up her job as a sociology researcher at the University of Lapland in 2010 to devote herself to raising reindeer. “I love the environment, the animals and the freedom,” she says. “Also, I have a sense of belonging to something bigger than me, to a way of life through thegenerations.”4．What does the underlined word “endure” in paragraph 2 mean?A．Go away with.B．Catch up with.C．Look forward to.D．Put up with.5．Why do the reindeer move into the forest in winter according to the text?A．To get earmarked.B．To find their owners.C．To protect themselves.D．To avoid cold temperatures.6．What does Ollila think of Rocky?A．He is foolish.B．He is a troublemaker.C．He is interested in planting trees.D．He is a famous filmmaker.7．What can we infer about Ollila from the last paragraph?A．She has a deep affection for nature.B．She has long been tired of raising reindeer.C．She has been a sociology researcher since 2010.D．She had no chance to receive a college education.Over the years, movies and books have used tornadoes to sweep their characters off to magical lands, to destroy entire cities, or to defeat a superhero’s dangerous super villain (恶棍). All of these tornadoes have one thing in common: They are incredibly powerful. They can have wind speeds over 300 miles per hour (mph), grow over a mile wide, and travel over 50 miles. They are incredibly dangerous and should be avoided at all costs.Scientists can’t go inside tornadoes, which means that they are extremely hard to research. As a result, we know surprisingly little about them. In order to tell how powerful a tornado is, scientists look at how much destruction it causes. Scientists then rank the tornado on the Enhanced Fujita Scale (级别) (EF-Scale), which ranges from EF0 to EF5. For example, a tornado that only damages trees but doesn’t significantly damage buildings would be rated EFO with wind speeds between 65 and 85 mph. A tornado that blows away buildings and tears up sidewalks, on the other hand, would be rated EF5 with wind speeds over 200 mph.The most powerful tornado in United States history occurred near Oklahoma City in1999. It had wind speeds over 310 mph, the highest wind speed ever recorded on Earth. A tornado withwind speeds that high can not only pick up and throw automobiles, but also knock over trains and tear up roadways.Luckily for anyone living in an area that experiences the occasional tornadoes, they usually only last one to ten minutes. More powerful tornadoes can last over an hour in the right conditions, but they are very rare.If you find yourself experiencing a tornado, find a safe place inside, like an interior hall, basement or closet. Stay away from windows and heavy objects that could fall on you, and lie on your stomach with your hands protecting the back of your head. Having a tornado emergency plan is extremely important as tornadoes can appear very quickly. Make sure to listen to the radio or television to stay updated on serious weather patterns in your area.8．Which of the following is probably the wind speed of an EF4 tornado?A．65 mph.B．85 mph.C．200 mph.D．310 mph.9．What can we learn from the example given in paragraph 3?A．Tornadoes can do great harm.B．American cars need developing.C．Oklahoma City had no trains in 1999.D．The strongest tornado occurred in the UK. 10．What is the last paragraph mainly about?A．What a tornado is.B．How a tornado forms.C．Tips to survive a tornado.D．How to recognize a tornado.11．Where is the text most probably taken from?A．A guidebook to the USA．B．An introduction to a historical book.C．A review of famous movies.D．An article on natural disasters.When Adele released (发行) her 2011 single Someone Like You, this bittersweet song is popular with millions worldwide. More than a decade later, it remains one of her most popular songs. Her artistry, as well as that of many others who have mastered the art of making listeners feel moved with slow and emotional beats, has a way of managing the emotional pain of heartbreak and loss.Listening to favorite songs could also reduce people’s feelings of pain, according to a new study published in the journal Frontiers in Pain Research. And the most effective pain relievers were found to be sad songs detailing bittersweet and emotional experiences.“It doesn’t take the place of medicine when you have a headache, but music can help reduce your pain,” said Patrick Stroman, a professor at Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario. He didn’t join in the study. “Unlike other medications,” he noted, “there is no side effect or risk in listening to music (just keep the volume at a reasonable level).”The small study invited 63 young adults to bring one of their favorite songs. The researchers also had the young adults pick one of seven songs that the team considered relaxing and were unfamiliar to the study participants. All the while, the researchers stuck a hot object — similar to the pain of a boiling hot teacup on the participants’ skin — to their left inner forearms. When rating their experiences, people were more likely to report feeling less pain when listening to their favorite songs compared with hearing the unfamiliar relaxing songs.With millions of songs available, one person’s favorite song is likely not the same as another. After interviewing the participants about the song they brought and their rating of pain, the researchers found people who listened to bittersweet and moving songs felt less pain than when they listened to songs with calming or cheerful themes (主题).“It’s a very cool result,” said lead study author Darius Valevicius, a doctoral student of neurosciences at the University of Montreal. “I think it’s why I myself and probably many people choose to listen to bittersweet or even spiritual music.”12．Why does the author mention Adele in the first paragraph?A．To reach a conclusion.B．To lead in the topic.C．To offer a suggestion.D．To provide the background.13．What is Stroman’s attitude to the effect of listening to music?A．Doubtful.B．Positive.C．Unclear.D．Unconcerned. 14．What did the participants do in the new study?A．They reported their feelings of pain.B．They interviewed many musicians.C．They made various kinds of teacups.D．They picked out the music they don't like. 15．Which is the most suitable title for the text?A．When Is the Best Time to Listen to Music?B．How Do You Create Popular Songs Quickly?C．The Best Way to Reduce Pain Might Be to Write MusicD．Certain Types of Music Could Help You Feel Less PainWhen we are kids, we laugh a lot. But as we become adults, it is much more difficult to laugh so easily. Do you laugh too little in your life? Do you remember how you used to laugh before, as a child?16 . It’s a great way to relax, not just on a purely emotional level, but also physically. It can reduce our blood pressure. It also contributes to the release of hormones (荷尔蒙) that are good for our health. 17 . It helps us feel more at ease around new people and also connects us with others.Sometimes, you might feel like there is not much cause to laugh. Life can be tough. But laughter is, if not the best medicine, a good support to have for tough times and for good times as well. So you should allow yourself to laugh as you used to.A good idea is to give yourself permission to play. Play is a natural activity that promotes a lot of laughter, whether it's through video games, outdoor games, or board games. 18 .Laughter comes from being with others. 19 . Hang out with family members that are nice to be around, with whom you can have fun, laugh, and enjoy yourself. Give your time to those who can share your laughter.More than anything, learn to develop humor. 20 . Laugh at your mistakes and learn to laugh at yourself. Then you will be surprised by the changes you will see in your life.A．You don’t have to be meanB．Laughter has a lot of benefitsC．Don’t take yourself too seriouslyD．Try to see your friends more oftenE．Watch videos to help you correct your mistakesF．In addition to these, laughing has a social functionG．Just discover what you like to play and have fun with it二、完形填空Granny Basketball is more competitive than you’d think!

湖北省襄阳市第五中学2023-2024学年高二上学期10月月考英语试卷一、阅读理解Yosemite National ParkYosemite is all about restoration this year. This month the park’s main corridor is being repaired. The park’ s gallery reopened to the public in April after being remodeled to allow full accessibility for people with a disability. Even John Muir, known as the father of the national parks, is being revived (使复活) by the actor Lee Stetson, who will answer audience questions about the park and its history at the Yosemite Theater.Petrified Forest National ParkPetrified Forest National Park is now mapping self-guided hikes to its more remote destinations, in part to remind visitors that the parks are theirs to wander. In August, a new field institute will begin offering classes led by geologists, photographers and other experts. And next year, you will see electric vehicle charging stations at the north and south entrances of the park.Acadia National ParkAcadia National Park is to begin managing a new campground on Maine’ s Schoodic Peninsula this fall. The site will offer almost 100 recreational vehicles and tent sites, as well as new hiking and biking trails connected to Gouldsboro Village and existing park trails leading to the peninsula’ s tip.Mesa Verde National ParkWetherill Mesa in Mesa V erde National Park will have an extended season this year (through mid-October), giving cyclists much time to enjoy new access to the park’ s six-mile Long House Loop, a paved path formerly used for tram service, and the backcountry routes on the park’ s most popular hike. Naturally, plans are in the works to open an on-site bike rental operation within the year.1．What do we know about Yosemite National Park?A．It will be closed for repairs.B．It will offer bike rental service.C．Its gallery is accessible to the disabled.D．It’s well-known for the father of national parks.2．In which national park will you be able to go camping?A．Yosemite National Park.B．Petrified Forest National Park.C．Acadia National Park.D．Mesa Verde National Park.3．What is the purpose of this passage?A．To persuade people to visit the national parks.B．To introduce something new at the national parks.C．To appeal to people to preserve the national parks.D．To recommend main attractions of the national parksI still remember my friends giving me the advice: Try something new. As a mom and writer, I was stressed and, of course, also on my phone too much. I was writing about food for work, so cooking didn’t really count as a hobby anymore, nor did reading, nor socializing, especially since all of my friends worked in my industry. I needed something in my life that existed apart from all that.“Maybe something you can do with your hands.” The suggestion felt like an escape exit. Cooking had once been the thing I did to relax when I got home from work, the thing I was curious about, and the thing that made my brain away from its standard complaints. The kitchen had once been a release, but now it was part of my professional life. It needed a replacement. A few months later, I signed up for a ceramics (制陶艺术) class at a studio near my apartment.At the studio, I started as a lazy learner, but after a few months I became addicted, signing up for more classes when my term ended. I had a place to go in my free time and something to be curious about, and my goals were unrelated to outer forces: a boss, a job, a market, a reader. Unlike with writing, my progress was quantifiable (可量化的): Now I have made a pot. Now my handles are beautiful. Now I have made two things that more or less look like a pair.Finally finding a hobby that was just for my own enjoyment was a release. I enjoy having something to do that didn’t involve a screen and therefore felt far from the style of work to which I was most accustomed — hands covered in clay cannot swipe (滑屏) very well. Making time for this also means carving out time, for creation and inspiration, and also for the rest that is required for me to reflect on my life. It is something more than a new hobby. This is the peace that everyone needs in our life.4．What does the underlined sentence in the first paragraph mean?A．Cooking was her cup of tea.B．Cooking was more a job than a hobby.C．Cooking was a piece of cake for her.D．Cooking was no more than a hobby for her.5．Why did the author take up ceramics classes?A．Because she wanted to escape from the kitchen.B．Because hands-on classes appealed to her most.C．Because she wanted to free herself from her routine work.D．Because a new hobby would help her gain an edge in her profession.6．What can we infer from paragraph 3?A．The author was too lazy to learn ceramics.B．The author was finally fascinated by ceramics.C．The author got rid of outer forces through ceramics.D．The author made more progress in ceramics than in writing.7．What message does the author mainly want to convey in the text?A．Never be afraid of changes.B．A new hobby keeps you away from screens.C．If you are to change others, be the change first.D．Be brave to inject something new into your life.One of the best things about new technology is how it makes the world more accessible to people with disabilities. Take Siri or Alexa, for example. They are a convenience or even a toy for most people. But if you’re blind, they’re potential life savers, capable of sending messages or receiving instructions, entirely through the power of your voice.What’s truly exciting is how advances in artificial intelligence (AI) are enabling the creation of even smarter accessibility features. On the most recent Google Pixel phones, it’s possible to turn on a feature called “Live Captions”. This means that deaf people can easily watch videos — or even make video calls. And perhaps more magically, iPhone will even let you create a simulation of your own voice and have it speak for you, giving us all technology similar to whatStephen Hawking used, but in the palms of our hands.What I think is most striking though is what all of these clever accessibility features mean for the rest of us, who may not need to use the features for their intended uses. The idea behind smart headsets(头戴式视图器) — if they’re ever going to be truly useful — is that they will work almost as an extension of brains and bodies. We’ll want them to give us directions when we need them, and help us understand our surroundings. And we’ll need a way to interact with headsets without buttons or a touchscreen, using our voice or by gesturing with our hands.This is for sure a tricky technical challenge, but it’s actually possible to imagine how such headsets might work, because these fundamental technologies already exist thanks to accessibility features on smartphones already on the market.Ultimately, this is a great way to think about accessibility features and why they’re so important on our modern devices. Because they don’t just help the people who need them — they help make our technology even better for everyone else too.8．How does the author prove the point in the second paragraph?A．By giving definition.B．By making a comparison.C．By making a summary.D．By giving examples.9．Which is the original intention of accessibility features?A．To make the world more accessible to the disabled.B．To help users in solving various phones problems.C．To give instructions to the disabled.D．To evaluate the uses of the phone.10．What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 4 refer to?A．Fancy design.B．Convenient operation.C．Secure material.D．Standard size.11．What is the text mainly about?A．A vital role of accessibility features.B．A rapid change in life for the disabled.C．A technical challenge of modern devices.D．A new function of mobile phones for the disabled.The dark days of the Depression saw an increased demand for stories that excite children in new ways and support them in processing difficult emotions. The features of personalized books meet this need well. With personalized Loss Books, children read about losing a family member. With personalized Me and My Pet Books, children read about how they first met their dogs or cats. Identified as the main driver of the rapidly growing interactive children’s book market, personalized books are far from a gimmick (噱头).Personalized books are printed or digital books that have been tailored to the needs of a specific child. They follow a simple principle: the publisher provides the users with a pattern, which parents add their children’s data. Thanks to the advanced print-on-demand possibilities of small-scale publishers, it’s not difficult to create a personalized version of any story.Publishers claim that personalized books teach children empathy (同理心) and encourage love for reading. Now, you might think that it is surely what all parents and teachers want, so should we replace all books with personalized stories?Recent observational studies confirmed publishers’ claim that children are highly engaged and motivated to read personalized books. However, in a recent study, we compared children’s understanding of the moral of a story and its application to their lives after they read a personalized, non-personalized or control story. Although children who read personalized stories had more detailed retellings, there was no other difference between the three groups.This could be because the differences among the children were higher than the effect of personalization. Studies with personalized books are too few for us to know for sure.Besides, while personal stories are often used in children with special educational needs, personalized stories are a new writing style, raising many open questions. The misuse of children’s personal data and the moral questions concerning diversity make one wonder how “personalized” the books actually are. The other key point lies in directing children’s focus towards the other. Meanwhile, experts point out that given the increased focus on personalized learning during the gloomy days and the need to customize children’s reading experiences, the rising trend of personalized books will continue.12．What can we learn about personalized books?A．They are mainly in digital form.B．They are created by young writers.C．They are highly thought of by teachers.D．They are very popular among children.13．What does the recent study suggest?A．The effects of personalized stories need further study.B．The varieties of personalized stories need expanding.C．Personalized stories build up children’s sense of justice.D．Personalized stories help children apply what they learn.14．What’s the author’s attitude to personalized books?A．Objective.B．Concerned.C．Disapproving.D．Positive. 15．Which can be a suitable title for the text?A．How Personalized Books Meet Special NeedsB．How Personalized Books Benefit ChildrenC．Personalized Books: a Must or an OptionD．Personalized Books: a Trick or a TreatWe grow up with assumptions about how the future world will work. We live in them and adapt to the guides and resources that we hope will lead us to jobs and money, homes and families and happiness. 16And then, things change-quickly—and a lot! Change in our families, change in our communities, change in our world!17 , but it's hard to actually change. The changes in our lifetime are the result of the appearance of the new digital landscape. Inexpensive and powerful digital tools have greatly transformed the way we work and the way we play in the world in which we live.18 . Using today's digital tools and the Internet, we can now manage our online accounts without ever stepping into a bank. We can shop without ever leaving the comfort of our home. A person with a smartphone can easily be the smartest person in the room. We can travel to far-off places without ever flying in a plane or boarding a train. We can develop friendships with countless people who we might never meet in person.19 . We can do things today that would have seemed unimaginable even a decade ago.And these changes and their influence on our future can seem hard to handle. Newspapershave been replaced by websites and social media feeds. CDs and MP3 players have been replaced by music streamed anytime, anywhere. DVDs used to provide much of our video entertainment, yet they have quickly been replaced by Netflix. 20 . Many of us are in denial even as this continues to happen right before our very eyes.A．The possibilities are endless.B．Life ahead appears very promising.C．It's easy to say that we have to adapt.D．It's true that we are all afraid of change.E．Let's consider just a few of these changes.F．We can't imagine a life without social media.G．Paper books are giving place to ebooks gradually.二、完形填空More often than not, we ignore small incidents.

It is the first US city to take such a strong step to keep this technology under control.When a computer system identifies a person from their face in a picture, it’s called “facial recognition” (面部识别). Many police departments use facial recognition. It can be helpful when the police just have a picture of a suspect (嫌疑犯）,but no other information. Normally, even with facial recognition the police must have other proof showing that a person is guilty. But many people say facial recognition programs aren’t good enough yet. The programs can usually recognize white men. But they’re not so good at identifying women and people with darker skin. They worry that “false matches” --- when the computer thinks it has identified a person, but it’s wrong --- will make innocent (无罪的) people look like criminals.For companies like Amazon and Microsoft, facial recognition is a big business. Amazon has worked hard to sell their facial recognition to police departments around the US. Microsoft sells tools that allow prisons to watch people inside.To work well, facial recognition programs must have a great number of pictures of people. But most people whose pictures are in the systems never gave permission (许可) for their pictures to be used.Many people worry that using computers to identify or track people will decrease freedom. Now, in many places, facial recognition is used to keep people under control and much of public life is watched on security cameras. Similarly, many cities in America and Europe are also almost completely covered by security cameras. Police officers now often wear cameras on their bodies, recording all the time. It’s usually not clear when governments are using facial recognition and how they are using it.Facial recognition is already being used at airports throughout Europe and in the US. The Department of Homeland Security expects to have picture of 97% of the people flying out of the country in the next four years.As these powerful computer programs become more common, San Francisco’s move to control facial recognition is an unusual and strong move to limit the way governments use computers to watch and control people.28.Why do people worry about facial recognition programs?A.They cannot multiply people’s responsibility.B.They cannot help the police identify good people.C.They will mistake innocent people for bad people.D.They will identify black people instead of white people.29.How can facial recognition programs function effectively?panies should work with each other.B.People should have more pictures taken.C.They should include as many pictures as possible.D.Police departments and prisons should be under control.30.What make people feel their freedom is on the decrease?A.There are the police everywhere.B. A lot of security cameras are used.C. More people are forced to stay at home.D. Governments focus more on facial recognition.31. What’s San Francisco’s attitude towards government workers using facial recognition?A. DisapprovingB. SupportiveC. DoubtfulD. Optimistic5.（8分）DMany people think of the brain as a mystery（神秘）．They don’t know much about intelligence and how it works．When they think about what intelligence is, many people believe that a person is born either smart, average, or dumb（愚笨的）—and stays that way for life．But new research shows that the brain is more like a muscle — it changes and gets stronger when you use it．And scientists have been able to show just how the brain grows and gets stronger when you learn．Everyone knows that when you lift weights, your muscles get bigger and you get stronger.A person who can’t lift 20 pounds when they start exercising can get strong enough to lift 100 pounds after working out for a long time．That’s because the muscles become larger and stronger with exercise．And when you stop exercising, the muscles shrink（萎缩）and you get weaker．That’s why people say, “Use it or lose it!”But most people don’t know that when they practice and learn new things, parts of their brain change and get larger a lot like muscles do when they exercise．Inside the cortex (脑皮层)of the brain are billions of tiny nerve cells（神经细胞）．Communication between these brain cells is what allows us to think and solve problems．When you learn new things, these tiny connections in the brain actually multiply and get stronger．The more you challenge your mind to learn, the more your brain cells grow．Then, things that you once found very hard or even impossible to do seem to become easy．The result is a stronger and smarter brain．Scientists started thinking that the human brain could develop and change when they studied animals’ brains．They found out that animals who lived in a challenging environment, with other animals and toys to play with, were more “aptitudinal”—they were better at solving problems and learning new things．32．What’s the main idea of the passage?A．Scientists show strong interest in what intelligence is．B．A new study shows the brain can be developed like a muscle．C．Both muscles and the brain are important to humans．D．Intelligence exists in both humans and animals．33．By using such numbers as 20 and 100 in Paragraph 2,the author tries to provethat ．A．exercise plays an important role in keeping muscles strongerB．exercise is more important to people than most of the animalsC．everyone can keep healthy if they do enough exercisesD．everyone should learn as many new things as possible34．Like stronger muscles come from exercise, smarter brains need ．A．to be well taken care of B．a good communication between personsC．help from scientists D．our learning new things35．What does the underlined word “aptitudinal” in the last paragraph probably mean? A．Strong B．Lovely C．Smart D．Active三、阅读七选五（本题共计1小题，总分10分）6.（10分）How to manage your email inbox36 .We love it and we hate it. We need it and want it, but too often the price we pay is that.
