First, we should encourage students to ride a bicycle or walk to school by themselves. It is also a good idea to allow junior student to leave school 10 minutes earlier than others. Besides, cars should not be allowed to park near the school gate.I do hope my suggestions can be considered and the problem can disappear soon.Yours,Li Hua 第二节概要写作(满分25分)范文:When the emperor arrived, he surveyed and greeted the young people.Ling just tried to hide in the back. “My god, what great plants, trees and flowers you have grown!” said the emperor.Suddenly, the empe ror spotted Ling at the back of the room with his empty pot. He ordered his guards to bring him to the front. Ling was terrified. "The emperor knows I’m a failure! Maybe he will have me killed!”When Ling got to the front, Emperor asked his name.“My name is Ling,” he replied. All the kids were laughing at him. The emperor asked everyone to quiet down. He then announced to the crowd, "Behold your new emperor! His name is Ling!” Ling couldn’t believe it. He couldn’t even grow his seed! Then the emperor said, “One year ago today, I actually gave you all boiled seeds which wouldn't grow. All of you, except Ling, have brought me plants because you substituted another seed for the one I gave you. Ling was the only one with the courage and honesty to bring me a po t with my seed in it.”听力录音稿Text 1M: I like drinking tea, but Max only has coffee and milk whenever we visit him.

You may think that an animal doctor mainly sees animals that are very sick or badly treated, but that is not always the case. People who bring their pets to see an animal doctor are usually animal lovers and care greatly for their pets. In fact, it is a pity we do not get to see more animals that are really in need of treatment. Of course, most animals that I often see are cats and dogs, with a few rabbits. I treat kangaroos and snakes at the local zoo sometimes. Perhaps my biggest and strangest challenge was treating a giraffe for neck problems. It is normally quite easy to fit something to an animal to stop it bending its neck. Obviously, for a giraffe this is a big problem. I tried various pieces of plastic and metal until I came up with a solution — a very longwater pipe. My work also takes me to farms where I look after cows, sheep and so on. I think my job is very important and I like my job.。

河北省衡水市2024-2025学年高三上学期第二次调研考试(9月月考)英语试题

河北省衡水市2024-2025学年高三上学期第二次调研考试(9月月考)英语试题

河北省衡水市2024-2025学年高三上学期第二次调研考试(9月月考)英语试题一、阅读理解Below are some strategies that can be employed in class to engage students in learning activities.Think — Pair — ShareThis technique is popular in the lower elementary grades to encourage speaking and listening skills. First, ask students to think about their response to a question, and then ask them to pair up with another person, usually someone nearby. The pair discuss their response, and then they share that response with a larger group.FishbowlA fishbowl is organized with two four student groups who sit facing each other in the center of the room. All the other students sit in a circle around them. Those students seated in the center discuss the question. Students on the outside circle take notes. In a variation, students on the outside may provide quick notes known as “fish food” by passing them to students on the inside for use in their discussion.Concentric CirclesOrganize students into two circles, one outside circle and one inside circle so that each student on the inside is paired with a student on the outside. The teacher poses a question to the whole group. Each pair discuss how to respond. After this brief discussion, the students on the outside circle move one space to the right. This will mean each student will be part of a new pair. The teacher can have them share the results of that discussion or pose a new question.PyramidStudents begin this strategy in pairs and respond to a discussion question with a single partner. At a signal from the teacher, the first pair join another pair which creates a group of four. These groups of four share their ideas. Next, the groups of four move to form groups of eight in order to share their best ideas. This grouping can continue until the whole class is joined up in one large discussion.1.Which strategy can a teacher adopt if he doesn’t want all the students to speak?A.Think — Pair — Share.B.Fishbowl.C.Concentric Circles.D.Pyramid.2.What’s a unique aspect of Concentric Circles?A.Students change partners.B.Students respond to a question.C.Students pass notes to each other.D.Students take turns to present their ideas. 3.How does Pyramid work?A.Best ideas are collected for a presentation.B.One group combines with another with each step.C.The whole class work together to carry out a project.D.Groups of four move around the classroom to share ideas.Malonga was born in Brazzaville, Congo, where his grandmother owned a restaurant. His love for food and cooking started there. He spent his teenage years in Germany and he started his career working in top European restaurants.In 2015, he competed in the French Top Chef TV show as the first Black chef to do so. When it came time to open his own restaurant, he took a two - year tour of the African continent, seeking inspiration.He opened Meza Malonga in 2020. Dinners at Meza Malonga have no menu — the meal changes based on seasonally available ingredients(食材)and what’s exciting Malonga at the moment. Giant windows open onto the hills of Kigali. The chefs present each course. There’s nobody yelling(大喊), “Yes chef!” and Malonga pointedly refers to “our restaurant… our menu… our project.” His longest employee is Frank Buhigiro, who says “The way we work is like we are family. You know, we don’t have pressure because we get time to think and create.”The restaurant is only open for eight months out of the year. For the other four months, Malonga and his team travel the continent. They experience different African cuisines first - hand, and source unique ingredients. But it’s more driven, more intense, than just sourcing. Malonga has visited 48 African countries, eating his way across the continent. Upon returning to Kigali, he brings back new flavors as souvenirs(纪念品).

This experience fired a lifelong passion for birds and conservation, leading him to specialize in ornithology and join Pronatura Península deY ucatán (PPY), an environmental conservation group in Mexico.Gomez’s work is supported by Fish and Wildlife Service grant programs that improves wetland habitats for migratory birds and promotes environmental education and research. One of Gomez’s key projects involves restoring and managing wetland habitats in the Yucatan Peninsula, which has led to the return of several species. These efforts not only support bird populations butalso reduce the vulnerability of coastal communities by improving their capacity to adapt to environmental risks.Community engagement is central to PPY’s success, with the annual Toh Festival being a key example. This festival, named after a bird of cultural significance, hosts a variety of bird-related activities from March to November, including birding marathons, photo expeditions (探险), contests, tours, and workshops. These events inspire community members to appreciate and protect the region’s rich biodiversity.As a nature photographer, Gomez approaches his work with respect for the wildlife, aiming to remain careful to avoid disturbing the birds. His photography serves a higher purpose, creating media communications that support PPY’s environmental education and community outreach initiatives. His images not only record the beauty of birds but also provide a window into their world, inspiring people to learn more about the challenges they face and the habitats they depend on.Ernesto Gomez proved to us the power of photography to inspire and educate. His work ensures that the beauty of Yucatan’s birds and habitats continues to inspire, reminding us of the vital link between people and nature.8.Where did Ernesto Gomez’s interest in ornithology come from?A.An encounter with scarlet macaws.B.A documentary on wetland conservation.C.A photography exhibition about Mexican forests.D.An educational program onenvironmental science.9.What does the underlined word “vulnerability” mean in paragraph 2?A.The stability of regional biodiversity.B.The quality of being weak and easily hurt.C.The capability of managing wetland habitats.D.The probability of being adaptive to environmental risks.10.What is a primary purpose of the Toh Festival?A.To raise funds for conservation projects.B.To engage people in bird-related activities.C.To promote bird - watching as a tourism activity.D.To recognize the work of nature photographers.11.How do Gomez’s photos contribute to PPY’s mission?A.By providing visual documentation for scientific research.B.By attracting birding marathoners to the Yucatan Peninsula.C.By creating media communications for environmental education.D.By encouraging people to face the challenges of environmental conservation.Albino redwoods, with their slightly shining white appearance, are a rare sight in California’s coastal forests. Despite lacking chlorophyll, which is used to photosynthesize(光合作用), these trees have managed to survive, puzzling researchers for over a century. However, a recent study by biologist Zane Moore from the University of California in Davis may have uncovered the secret to their existence.Redwoods rank among the tallest organism on earth and claim an existence of some 3,500 years. They are known for their complex root systems that allow them to communicate and share nutrients during tough times. Researchers have seen this firsthand by introducing dye to trees on one side of an area of redwoods and tracing it all the way to the further reaches. In summer, they become more independent, and those unable to sustain themselves are cut off from the shared system in the autumn needle drop.So, if albino red woods can’t photosynthesize, why are they able to stick around? Moore’s research suggests that albino redwoods survive by tapping into the communal root system and absorbing sugars from healthier neighbors. Contrary to the belief that they are parasites(寄生植物), Moore’s findings indicate a symbiotic(共生) relationship.Albino redwoods tend to grow in less healthy conditions and have been found to contain high levels of poisonous heavy metals in their leaves. Moore theorizes that these trees are not only surviving but also serving a purpose by acting as a “reservoir(水库) for poison”, thus protecting their healthier counterparts. This discovery could potentially make it possible to use albino redwoods in polluted areas to safeguard other trees.The study highlights the interconnectedness of trees and their ability to look out for one another, forming bonds and even recognizing their offspring. Moore’s research emphasizes the importance of considering the entire community of trees, rather than focusing on individuals, to understand what’s happening in the forest.12.What can be learned about redwoods?A.They depend on each other for nutrition in tough times.B.They have unusually strong roots that can reach very far.C.How they photosynthesize has puzzled researchers for long.D.How they communicate among individuals remains a secret.13.How do albino redwood s survive?A.They become parasites of other tree species.B.They rely on the fallen needles for their growth.C.They have developed an alternative method of photosynthesis.D.They absorb sugars from the root system of healthier redwoods.14.What role do albino redwood s play in the forest ecosystem?A.They transport water for the forest.B.They act as a source of food for other plants.C.They protect other redwood trees by absorbing poison.D.They are responsible for the reproduction of the redwood species.15.What’s the best title of the text?A.Albino Redwoods May be the Result of PollutionB.Albino Redwoods May Survive to Help Nearby TreesC.Symbiotic Relationship is Built among Albino RedwoodsD.Researchers Discovered Complex Root System of Albino RedwoodsMischief Night, also known by various names like Devil’s Night and Cabbage Night, is a tradition that has changed over time in the United States and Canada. Historically, Halloween pranks(恶作剧)were performed on October 31st. 16 However, by the 1920s and 1930s, these pranks changed into more serious acts of destruction, possibly due to the social tensions of the Great Depression.In an effort to deal with this destructive behavior, parents and community leaders encouraged the tradition of trick-or-treat. 17 This shift effectively moved the mischief from October 31st to October30th.The custom of Mischief Night is particularly popular in areas with a history of Irish and Scottish immigration, such as the northeastern United States and English-speaking communities inCanada. 18According to a Cambridge Online Survey of World Englishes, 74% of Americans surveyed do not have a specific name for this night. 19 East Michigan referred to it as Devil’s Night, parts of New Jersey and New York as Mischief Night, and Washington State as Devil’s Eye. A similar study conducted by Harvard University a decade ago revealed other names like Gate Night, which involved opening farmers’ gates to let livestock roam free.20 The term Cabbage Night, for instance, originates from an old Scottish tradition where young women would use cabbages in fortune- telling rituals on All Hallows’ Eve, leading to a tradition of throwing cabbages at neighbors’ homes. Despite the decline in the use of specific names, Mischief Night continues to be a part of local traditions.A.Yet, regional names do exist.B.They offered candy to children in costumes as an alternative.C.The origins of these names have long been a topic of discussion.D.They involved light - hearted tricks such as throwing eggs at houses.E.Children had great fun but parents were concerned about the serious destruction.F.The data suggest that the specific names for this night are gradually fading away. G.However, it is less common in the South, West, and French-speaking regions of Canada.二、完形填空My friend Julie and I had completed an incredibly complicated set of instructions which led us to our comfortable room in Tokyo.

The discourse illuminated both the shimmering facets andshadowy corners of this new educational landscape.On the brighter side, online learning has undeniably offered unparalleled flexibility and accessibility. It has broken geographical barriers, enabling students from remotecorners to access quality education seamlessly. Moreover, the digital platform fosters independence, as self-study becomes a necessity, honing time management andresearch skills. Additionally, the vast array of online resources at our fingertipsenhances learning experiences, catering to diverse learning styles and interests.However, the debate also unearthed several concerns. The lack of face-to-faceinteraction can lead to feelings of isolation and a decline in social skills. Moreover, the distractions of the digital world often hinder concentration, making it challenging tomaintain focus during virtual classes. Furthermore, not all students have equal access to reliable internet or suitable devices, widening the educational divide.In my personal view, online learning, though imperfect, presents a valuable opportunity for adaptation and growth. It necessitates the cultivation of resilience and adaptability, skills that are invaluable in today’s rapidly evolving world. By embracing the positives and mitigating the negatives through strategies such as creating dedicated study spaces, fostering virtual communities, and advocating for equitable access, we can harness the full potential of online learning.Ultimately, the pandemic has forced us to reassess our educational paradigms, and online learning, with its dual edges, stands as a testament to our ability to innovate and overcome challenges. As Li Hua, I am optimistic that by striking a balance between its advantages and disadvantages, we can pave the way for a more inclusive and dynamic educational future.。

Passage 1My friend told me a story about a really smart horse named Jack. Jack seemed to know when it was time to work and time to play, and he was eager to do both. Jack’s favorite place to be was out in the field with his many other animal friends.One afternoon, Jack’s owner, Dan, needed him to pull a heavy load of stones from one side of the field to the other. To Dan’s delight, Jack got right down to work. He grabbed hold of the rope with his powerful teeth and began to pull, straining (用力拉) with all his might.Just as Jack was half-way to his destination, he noticed a beautiful butterfly flying nearby. Quickly, he dropped the rope from his mouth andtried to follow it. All the other animals laughed at him. “Jack, you know you have work to do!” they cried, but Jack only laughed and said, “Don’t you know life is for playing, too?”Dan was not at all happy with Jack. “I need you to finish this job, Jack, or we won’t be able to eat,” he scolded (责骂). But Jack paid no attention. He was too busy trying to catch the butterfly.After a while, Dan managed to calm down and asked Jack what he was doing. Jack explained he was trying to catch the butterfly because it was so beautiful.Dan looked around his dusty, hard-working field and felt sorry for Jack. “Jack,” he said. “I understand that w e all need to play, but work is also important. If you don’t finish pulling the load of stones, we will not be able to sell any grain. Without the income from the grain, we cannot buy any apples or carrots for you, your friends, or the other beautiful anim als.”Jack listened to Dan and understood. “I will finish it this time,” said Jack, “and then I’ll play. I just wanted to have a little fun first.”With those words, Jack took hold of the rope and pulled with all his might again. And this time, he didn’t s top until the load of stones was safely moved to the other side of the field.1. What is the story mainly about?A. The importance of work and play in life.B. The capability of a horse to work and play at the same time.C. The unlimited possibility of a horse to learn from experience.D. The great determination of a horse to achieve its dreams.解析:本文讲述了马儿杰克知道什么是工作,什么是玩乐,并且能够适时地进行两者。

I was traveling back home from a family visit, and after treating me to breakfast and filling my car with gas, it was obvious that my dad wanted to make sure that I would be okay on the road.“No, Dad. You've done so much already. Thank you!” I was overwhelmed once again by his kind acts of providing everything I needed, although I turned 40.

Well, that's all it took for Dad to take action. By the time I got to the checkout(结账) line, all the supplies I picked out were put out of my hands and placed with things he bought.Then there was the time when I took him with me to do some grocery shopping for just a few “ items”. By the time we were finished, my shopping cart was full of groceries from every shelf in the store! My sister and I joke that if you don't want Dad to buy it for you, avoid even mentioning you want something.1.What's the best title for the passage?A.Father's generosity B.Father's considerate loveC.The love for children D.Love's power2.The author demonstrates her father's love for her mainly by______.A.suggestion B.reasoningC.examples D.argument3.Which of the following is not TRUE?A.After the author got married, her father no longer get himself involved in her life.

You'll learn new words, revisepreviously-taught structures and absorb thousands of useful expressions and phrases... without any effort. By reading, you are receiving valuable language input. And this is how you learn! Remember, language learning is a combination of input + practice. As you're reading, you're taking in language naturally, and you're seeing how it all fits together. This iscrucialto your learning.The great thing about reading is that learning takes place subconsciously. There are no exercises to do, no grammar rules to learn, no tasks to complete... it's all natural. The language flows in through your eyes, and gets recorded in your brain. What could be easier? The key to effective reading is to read things that you want to read. There are millions of books, magazines and websites out there. You couldn't possibly read them all. So, the important thing is to find things that you like reading. Then, you'll be motivated to read. And then the reading won't be difficult. It'll be easy! And then you'll learn. It's simple. Remember: read what you want to read. What you like reading. What motivates and inspires you. But where can you start? Well, you could read a book that you've already read in your own language. Simply find a translated version of a book that you have read and enjoyed. This will make processing the content in the target language much easier as you’ll already know what the book is about! You could also read the news. This is great as you can read the news in your own language first, then in English. You'll see that it won't be too difficult as you'll be familiar with the topics and stories. Magazines are also great. Find one that covers a topic you're interested in: business, clothing, guns, horses, houses, housekeeping, stocks and shares, sports, computers, electronics, designing, cooking... you name it, they'll have it. If not, look for information on the internet. There are also websites for every topic under the sun! Why not join a forum? They're a great source of English input as the language is often written in a simple, spoken style. Go to Google Groups, which has discussion groups based on common interests. Just type in the topic that interests you and join the chat.Finally, how you read is also important. The best thing is to read without using a dictionary. Let the words flow over you. Just skip the parts you don't understand. If you make your reading feel too much like work, it'll stop being fun. Of course, you could make a note of any new words and phrases that you like or see repeated frequently, but try not to break your concentration too much. Also, set yourself mini-objectives. For example, if you're reading a novel, read 20 pages a day. Very soon, you'll have been exposed to thousands of useful phrases and words. Have fun reading! You'll learn so much!12.The underlined word “crucial” in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to ________. A.easy B.important C.difficult D.suitable 13.The key to effective reading is_______.A.to read millions of books B.not to learn grammar rulesC.to be motivated to read D.to read easy things14.You can start to read by____.A.reading a book that you've already read in EnglishB.reading the news in English firstC.going to Google Groups to practice spoken EnglishD.reading magazines containing topics you are interested in15.From the passage we can learn that______.A.when you read you needn’t look up every new word in the dictionaryB.the great thing about reading is that you can read without any effortC.to read is as much fun as to workD.you should make notes of every new word and phrase while reading二、七选五How to keep a Relationship Healthy and StrongAre you new to experiencing relationships? Well,let me give you advice on how to have a healthy relationship with your partners.16.. Don't hide things from them,and don't lie. Don't be afraid to say things that aren't very flattering about yourself. Getting them to trust you is the most important element in any relationship. If there's no trust,there's nothing there.

Sad stories do exist in large numbers for the past lottery winners and that's why some financial experts say "70 percent of lottery winners will squander away (乱花) winning within a few years." Some end up losing allwithin two years, family relationships destroyed or even worse.Wayne Schenk was an old soldier diagnosed with lung cancer. When he won a million dollars in a lottery he thought his troubles were over and he would get the advanced medical treatment that might save his life. But Lottery officials refused to pay him the total sum in a single payment and they said they could not make an exception to the regulations. When Schenk died in 2007, he'd only received one payment of $34,000.Another lottery winner, Billy Bob Harrell, Jr. killed himself two years after winning 31 million dollars in the Texas lottery in 1997.He'd spent large amounts of money and given large amounts away, but he didn't end me expected peace that should have come with the freedom of money.Other lottery winners have ended up in prison for crimes. Many suffer bankruptcy (破产) after the big jackpot (头奖) is spent and given away, including some of the eight people who won the 365 million Powerball in 2006.The examples given paint a sad picture of what can happen if you win a big lottery jackpot, but fortunately, these examples don't tell the stories of all jackpot winners.56. What is the main idea of the first paragraph?A. Most lottery winners use up money quickly.B. Most lottery winners don't really end up well.C. Winning lottery means relationships destroyed.D. Financial experts are against the lottery industry.57. Why did lottery officials refuse to give Wayne Schenk the million dollars in one payment?A. He was diagnosed with lung cancer.B. He was unwilling to give away his money.C. They had to observe the official rules.D. They didn't want to disturb his peace.58. The author supports his main idea by ____.A. giving examplesB. making comparisonsC. listing numbersD. listing reasons59.

Since these devices are so common, is time running out for the 500-year-old watch? According to some consumers, yes. New Jersey teenager Charlie Wollman says a watch is “an extra piece of equipment with no necessary function”. Many young adults agree and use their cell phones to tell time. It is said that fewe r young people wear watches today than five years ago. As a result, some people claim that the watch industry is at a crossroads.However, watchmakers optimistically say that watches redeem popularity when consumers reach their 20s and 30s. By then, they are willing to spend money on a quality watch that doesn’t just keep good time. Fifty years ago, watchmakers boasted about their products’ accuracy. But in recent years, the watch industry has transformed itself into an accessory(饰品)business. And for many today, the image a watch communicates has become more important than the time it tells.“Complications” --- features that go beyond simple timekeeping--- are an important part of a watch’s image. Toda y’s watches offer lots of features that meet almost any personality. These features include compasses, lunar calendars, USB drives, and even devices that measure the effectiveness of golf swings(挥棒方式)!Creativity is also a key element in today’s watches. For example, Japanese watchmaker Tokyoflash makes watches that don’t even look like watches. The company’s popular Shinshoku model uses different color lights to tell the time. It looks more like a fashionable bracelet (手镯) than a watch.Whether a watch communicates fashion sense, creative flair or a love of sports, consumers want their timepieces to stand out.

Watches are becoming less popularD“A very disruptive(调皮捣蛋的) six-year-old child kicked my legs and clawed at my hand,” said one teacher. “ I broke up a fight and was kicked between my legs,” said another. Many people have heard stories like this. But the situation is more worrying still and it involves parents.Every child, regardless of the circumstances into which they are born, has the right to achieve their potential, regardless of their parents’ wealth and class. And we recognize that, as a nation, it is a long way to achieve thisgoal. But with rights come responsibilities and what worries people is that we are in danger of ignoring the latter.Far too many children are behaving badly at school, even to the point of being violent to staff. This is terrible enough, but it is hard to be surprised since many children are just mirroring the behaviour of their parents.My members tell me that parents also come into school often and threaten staff and some staff have been attacked by a pupil’s parents. One father encouraged his child to start a fight on the playground before school started. A primary teacher reported that a parent shouted at him. We need to have a serious and sensible debate about the roles and responsibilities of parents and the support that they can reasonably expect of schools and teachers.Children will not learn how to behave as social beings if they are stuck in front of the TV for hours every day. They need their parents to show an interest in them and to spend time with them, helping them to play with their peers(同龄人) and to learn the rules of social behavior.Children are now arriving at school socially undeveloped, increasingly unable to dress themselves, unable to use the toilet properly, unable to hold a knife and fork and unused to eating at a table, Mary Bousted, general secretary of the Association of Teachers and Lecturers, writes in today’s Observer. Instead of taking responsibility themselves, too many parents expect teachers to control their children’s behaviour and wellbeing, she adds. Bousted says one mother blamed staff when she discovered that her 16-year-old son was smoking.We are in danger of becoming a nation of families living separate lives under one roof. The bedroom, once a place to sleep, has become the living space for the young. Spending hours in front of computer screens, on social networking sites or being immersed(沉迷于) in computer games, children and young people spend little time with their parents. Parents are unable to monitor just what their children are watching.Schools cannot right the wrongs of society and teachers cannot become substitute parents. Both parties need to work together. Parents must be helped and given confidence to take bake control. They are responsible for setting boundaries for their children’s behaviour and sticking to those boundaries. They are responsible for setting a good example to their children and for devoting that most precious of resource------time------- so that children come to school ready and willing to learn.67.
