重庆市南开中学校2022-2023学年高二上学期培优班开学考试英语试题学校:___________姓名:___________班级:___________考号:___________一、阅读理解For nearly a decade now, Merebeth has been a self-employed pet transport specialist. Her pet transport job was born of the financial crisis(危机)in the late 2000s. The downturn hit the real estate (房地产)firm where she had worked for ten years as an office manager. The firm went broke and left her looking for a new job. One day, while driving near her home, she saw a dog wandering on the road, clearly lost. She took it home, and her sister in Denver agreed to take it. This was a loving home for sure, but 1, 600 miles away. It didn’t take long for Merebeth to decide to drive the dog there herself. It was her first road trip to her new job.Merebeth’s pet delivery service also satisfies her wanderlust. It has taken her to every state in the US except Montana, Washington and Oregon, she says proudly. If she wants to visit a new place, she will simply find a pet with transport needs there. She travels in all weathers. She has driven through 55 mph winds in Wyoming, heavy flooding and storms in Alabama and total whiteout conditions in Kansas.This wanderlust is inherited from her father, she says. She moved their family from Canada to California when she was one year old, because he wanted them to explore a new place together. As soon as she graduated from high school she left home to live on Catalina Island off the Californian coast, away from her parents, where she enjoyed a life of sailing and off-road biking.It turns out that pet transporting pays quite well at about $30, 000 per year before tax. She doesn’t work in summer, as it would be unpleasantly hot for the animals in the car, even with air conditioning. As autumn comes, she gets restless—the same old wanderlust returning. It’s a call she must heed alone, though. Merebeth says, “When I am on the road, I’m just in my own world. I’ve always been independent-spirited and I just feel strongly that I must help animals.”1.Why did Merebeth changed her job?A.She wanted to work near her home.B.She was tired of working in the office.C.Her sister asked her to move to Denver.D.Her former employer was out of business.2.The word “wanderlust” in paragraph 2 means a desire to _________?A.make money.B.try various jobs.C.be close to nature.D.travel to different places.3.What can we learn about Merebeth in her new job?A.She has chances to see rare animals.B.She works hard throughout the year.C.She relies on herself the whole time.D.She earns a basic and tax-free salary.One of the executives gathered at the Aspen Institute for a day-long leadership workshop using the works of Shakespeare was discussing the role of Brutus in the death of Julius Caesar. “Brutus was not an honourable man,” he said. “He was a traitor (叛徒). And he murdered someone in cold blood.” The agreement was that Brutus had acted with cruelty when other options were available to him. He made a bad decision, they said — at least as it was presented by Shakespeare — to take the lead in murdering Julius Caesar. And though one of the executives acknowledged that Brutus had the good of the republic in mind, Caesar was nevertheless his superior. “You have to understand,” the executives said, “our policy is to obey the chain of command.”During the last few years, business executives and book writers looking for a new way to advise corporate America have been exploiting Shakespeare’s wisdom for profitable ends. None more so than husband and wife team Kenneth and Carol Adelman, well-known former advisers to the White House, who started up a training company called “Movers and Shakespeares”. They are amateur Shakespeare scholars and Shakespeare lovers, and they have combined their passion and their high-level contacts into a management training business. They conduct between 30 and 40 workshops annually, dealing with half a dozen different plays, mostly for corporations, but also for government agencies.The workshops all take the same form, focusing on a single play as a kind of case study, and using individual scenes as specific lessons. In Julius Caesar, for example, Cassius’s sly provocation (狡诈的挑唆) of Brutus to take up arms against Caesar was the basis for a discussion of methods of team building and grass roots organizing.Although neither of the Adelmans is academically trained in literature, the programscontain plenty of Shakespeare tradition and background. Their workshop on Henry V, for example, includes a helpful explanation of Henry’s winning strategy at the Battle of Agincourt. But they do come to the text with a few biases (偏向): their reading of Henry V minimizes his misuse of power. Instead, they emphasize the story of the youth who seizes opportunity and becomes a masterful leader. And at the workshop on Caesar, Mr. Adelmans had little good to say about Brutus, saying “the noblest Roman of them all” couldn’t make his mind up about things.Many of the participants pointed to very specific elements in the play that they felt to be related. Caesar’s pride, which led to his murder, and Brutus’s mistakes in leading the traitors after the murder, they said, raise vital questions for anyone serving in a business when and how do you resist the boss?4.According to paragraph 1, what did all the executives think of Brutus?A.Cruel.B.Superior.C.Honourable.D.Rude. 5.According to the passage, the Adelmans set up “Movers and Shakespeares” to ________.A.help executives to understand Shakespeare’s plays betterB.give advice on leadership by analyzing Shakespeare’s playsC.provide case studies of Shakespeare’s plays in literature workshopsD.guide government agencies to follow the characters in Shakespeare’s plays6.Why do the Adelmans conduct a workshop on Henry V?A.To highlight the importance of catching opportunities.B.To encourage masterful leaders to plan strategies to win.C.To illustrate the harm of prejudices in management.D.To warn executives against power misuse.7.It can be inferred from the passage that ________.A.the Adelmans’ program proves biased as the roles of characters are maximizedB.executives feel bored with too many specific elements of Shakespeare’s playsC.the Adelmans will make more profits if they are professional scholarsD.Shakespeare has played an important role in the management fieldLook to many of history’s cultural symbols, and there you’ll find an ancestor of Frosty, the snowman in the movie Frozen. It appeared on some of the first postcards, starred in some of the earliest silent movies, and was the subject of a couple of the earliest photos, dating all theway back to the 1800s. I discovered even more about one of humanity’s earliest forms of life art during several years of research around the world.For example, snowmen were a phenomenon in the Middle Ages, built with great skill and thought. At a time of limited means of expression, snow was like free art supplies dropped from the sky. It was a popular activity for couples to leisurely walk through town to view the temporary works of chilly art. Some were created by famous artists, including a 19-year-old Michelangelo, who in 1494 was appointed by the ruler of Florence, Italy, to build a snowman in his mansion’s courtyard.The Miracle of 1511 took place during six freezing works called the Winter of Death. The city of Brussels was covered in snowmen—an impressive scene that told stories on every street corner. Some were political in nature, criticizing the church and government. Some were a reflection of people’s imagination. For the people of Brussels, this was a defining moment of defining freedom. At least until spring arrived, by which time they were dealing with damaging floods.If you fear the heyday of the snowman has passed, don’t worry: I’ve learned that some explosive snowman history is still being made today. Every year since 1818, the people of Zurich, Switzerland, celebrate the beginning of spring by blowing up a snowman. On the third Monday of April, the holiday Sechselauten is kicked off when a cotton snowman called the Boogg is stuffed with explosive and paraded through town by bakers and other tradesmen who throw bread to the crowds. The parade ends with the Boogg being placed on a 40-foot pile of firewood. After the bells of the Church of St. Peter have rung six times, representing the passing of winter, the pile is lit. When the snowman explodes, winter is considered officially over—the quicker it is burnt down, the longer summer is said to be. 8.According to the passage, why did snowmen become a phenomenon in the Middle Ages?A.People thought of snow as holy art supplies.B.People longed to see masterpieces of snow.C.Building snowmen was a way for people to express themselves.D.Building snowmen helped people develop their skill and thought.9.“The heyday of the snowman” (paragraph 4)means the time when___________.A.snowmen were made mainly by artistsB.snowmen enjoyed great popularityC.snowmen were politically criticizedD.snowmen caused damaging floods10.In Zurich, the blowing up of the Boogg symbolizes__________________.A.the start of the paradeB.the coming of a longer summerC.the passing of the winterD.the success of tradesmen11.What can be concluded about snowmen from the passage?A.They were appreciated in historyB.They have lost their valueC.They were related to moviesD.They vary in shape and sizeEnough “meaningless drivel”. That’s the message from a group of members of the UK government who have been examining how social media firms like LinkedIn gather and use social media data.The House of Commons Science and Technology Committee’s report, released last week, has blamed firms for making people sign up too long incomprehensible legal contracts and calls for an international standard or kitemark (认证标记) to identify sites that have clear terms and conditions. “The term and conditions statement that we all carelessly agree to is meaningless drivel to anyone,” says Andrew Miller, the chair of the committee. Instead, he says, firms should provide a plain-English version of their terms. The simplified version would be checked by a third party and awarded a kitemark if it is an accurate reflection of the original.It is not yet clear who would administer the scheme, but the UK government is looking at introducing it on a voluntary basis. “We need to think through how we make that work in practice,” says Miller.Would we pay any more attention to a kitemark? “I think if you went and did the survey, people would like to think they would,” says Nigel Shadbolt at the University of Southampton, UK, who studies open data. “We do know people worry a lot about the inappropriate use of their information.” But what would happen in practice is another matter, he says.Other organizations such as banks ask customers to sign long contracts they may notread or understand, but Miller believes social media requires special attention because it is so new. “We still don’t know how significant the long-term impact is going to be of unwise things that kids put on social media that come back and bite them in 20 years’ time,” he says.Shadbolt, who gave evidence to the committee, says the problem is that we don’t know how companies will use our data because their business models and uses of data are still evolving. Large colle ctions of personal information have become valuable only recently, he says.The shock and anger when a social media firm does something with data that people don’t expect, even if users have apparently permission, show that the current situation isn’t working. If properly administered, a kitemark on terms and conditions could help people know what exactly they are signing up to. Although they would still have to actually read them.12.What does the phrase “meaningless drivel” in paragraphs 1 and 3 refer to?A.Legal contracts that social media firms make people sign up to.B.Warnings from the UK government against unsafe websites.C.Guidelines on how to use social media websites properly.D.Insignificant data collected by social media firms.13.It can be inferred from the passage that Nigel Shadbolt doubts whether __________.A.social media firms would conduct a survey on the kitemark schemeB.people would pay as much attention to a kitemark as they thinkC.a kitemark scheme would be workable on a nationwide scaleD.the kitemark would help companies develop their business models14.Andrew Miller thinks social media needs more attention than banks mainly because__________.A.their users consist largely of kids under 20 years oldB.the language in their contracts is usually harder to understandC.the information they collected could become more valuable in futureD.it remains unknown how users’ data will be taken advantage of15.Which of the following is the best title of the passage?A.Say no to social media?B.New security rules in operation?C.Accept without reading?D.Administration matters!二、七选五I have the same 24 hours in a day as you do, but I have made specific choice that allow me to make the most of every day and still feel happy and relaxed. 16Pick the most important.17 Focus on spending time that for you is fun and productive. I chose the life of an adviser because I like to work with companies, but don't want the life of a big company CEO. My choices are based on the lifestyle I want.Combine your activities.Many people go crazy trying to figure out how to spend time with friends, family, work, play, etc. 18 Find ways to enjoy them in a combined manner. Build your social life around people in your work environment. Find people in your company who share common interests and develop your career (职业) around the people and activities you love.19You would think learning takes more time from you, but actually there are always new ways of doing things that can save you time on daily tasks, freeing you up for the most important. Always be looking for a new way to gain back an hour here or there.Lighten up.The world won't come to an end in most cases just because you left a few things undone. Celebrate progress and keep refining (改进) toward a happy productive existence. 20 Every completion is a small victory that adds up in a big way.A.Speed up.B.Be an active learner.C.Stop trying to balance time between them all.D.Make choices about what is meaningful in your life.E.The things you do well usually give you greater joy.F.Perhaps these tips will help you make the most of your time.G.This is why making lists is important in any productivity handbook.三、完形填空In the 1960s, Douglas McGregor, one of the key thinkers in the art of management, developed the now famous Theory X and Theory Y. Theory X is the idea that peopleeveryone has the potential to find satisfaction in work.In any case, despite so much evidence to the 22 , many managers still agree to Theory X. They believe, 23 , that their employees need constant supervision if they are to work effectively, or that decisions must be imposed from 24 without consultation. This, of course, makes for authoritarian (专制的) managers.Different cultures have different ways of 25 people. Unlike authoritarian management, some cultures, particularly in Asia, are well known for the consultative nature of decision-making — all members of the department or work group are asked to 26 to this process. This is management by the collective opinion. Many western companies have tried to imitate such Asian ways of doing things, which are based on general 27 . Some experts say that women will become more effective managers than men because they have the power to reach common goals in a way that traditional 28 managers cannot.A recent trend has been to encourage employees to use their own initiative, to make decisions on their own without 29 managers first. This empowerment (授权) has been part of the trend towards downsizing: 30 the number of management layers in companies. After de-layering in this way, a company may be 31 with just a top level of senior managers, front-line managers and employees with direct contact with the public. Empowerment takes the idea of delegation(委托) much further than has 32 been the case. Empowerment and delegation mean new forms of management control to 33 that the overall business plan is being followed, and that operations become more profitable under the new organization, rather than less.Another trend is off-site or 34 management, where teams of people linked by e-mail and the Internet work on projects from their own houses. Project managers evaluate the 35 of the team members in terms of what they produce for projects, rather than the amount of time they spend on them.21.A.desire B.seek C.lose D.dislike 22.A.contrary B.expectation C.degree D.extreme 23.A.vice versa B.for example C.however D.otherwise24.A.outside B.inside C.below D.above 25.A.replacing B.assessing C.managing D.encouraging 26.A.refer B.contribute C.object D.apply 27.A.agreement B.practice C.election D.impression 28.A.bossy B.experienced C.western D.male 29.A.asking B.training C.warning D.firing 30.A.doubling B.maintaining C.reducing D.estimating 31.A.honored B.left C.crowded D.compared 32.A.economically B.traditionally C.inadequately D.occasionally 33.A.deny B.admit C.assume D.ensure 34.A.virtual B.ineffective C.day-to-day D.on-the-scene 35.A.opinion B.risk C.performance D.attractiveness四、用单词的适当形式完成短文阅读下面材料,在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。

重庆市南开中学校2023-2024学年高二上学期期末考试英语试卷学校:___________姓名:___________班级:___________考号:___________一、阅读理解Mental-health podcasts(播客)are no replacement for therapy,but they can be an excellent resource for information and reflection.Whether you’re dealing with anxiety or depression,these are an uplifting reminder that you’re not alone.The Happiness LabLaurie Santos teaches a course at Yale University called Psychology and the Good Life, where she lectures on the science of happiness.Santos brings that material to a broader audience with her podcast,in which she invites mental health experts to discuss the science behind everyday emotions.Inappropriate QuestionsThis podcast approaches mental health from a uniquely empathetic angle.In each episode,hosts Elena Lyle and Harvinder Wadhwa explore how a certain question can unintentionally make the answerer uncomfortable.For example,is it proper to offer the blind help if you don’t know whether they need it?Listeners get personal insights into discrimination,which may help them become more thoughtful communicators.Disability After DarkIn his podcast,disability rights consultant Andrew Gurza has friendly chats with people about what it’s really like to live with disabilities.The host and his guests discuss their struggles in a world that doesn’t provide enough accessibility,why that impacts their mental health and how they’ve come to find pride in their disability.Not Another Anxiety ShowHealth and wellness coach Kelli Walker uses her podcast to explain to listeners that, although it can be scary,anxiety is a normal part of the human experience.Walker and expert guests describe why anxiety occurs in our brains and bodies and provide information about how it’s possible to live a fulfilled life while dealing with anxiety.1.Which might be a better choice for worried listeners?A.Disability After Dark B.The Happiness LabC.Inappropriate Questions D.Not Another Anxiety ShowA.It's a process to get wild animals used to humans.B.It's done by paying random visits to wild animals.C.Wild animals will benefit from this practice.D.Such practice is limited to private reserves.5.Why did Clement choose to become a nature conservator?A.Because he liked a job with various tasks...B.Because being a tour guide was not his dream.C.Because he enjoyed spending time with wild animals.D.Because working with animals was his strongest point.6.What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph probably mean?A.Artemis is responding to our request.B.Artemis is warning us to keep a distance.C.Artemis is inviting us to enter her territory.D.Artemis is feeling comfortable with our presence.7.What is the text mainly about?A.A remarkable cheetah conservator.B.A reserve for cheetahs.C.A cheetah conservation program.D.A tour with a cheetah conservator.Microplastics,as the name implies,are tiny plastic particles found in the environment. Any plastic particle that has a diameter of less than5mm is considered to be microplastic. For a long time,a majority of people were unaware of the presence of microplastics and their effects on the environment.However,these particles have become a significant topic of debate in recent times after researchers noted their presence in almost every corner of the globe.from Mount Everest to the Mariana Trench.There are two categories of microplastics:primary and secondary.Primary microplastics are tiny particles meant for external commercial use such as cosmetics,as well as microfibers to make other textiles,such as fishing nets.Secondary microplastics are particles that result from the breakdown of larger plastic items,such as water bottles.There are various sources of microplastics.Wastewater treatment plants and sewage treatment plants are the major sources of primary microplastics,most of which are residues (残留物)of cosmetics,paint,household and industrial waste.Single-use plastics plastic items meant to be used just once and then discarded,such as a straw—are the main source ofsecondary plastics in the environment.The problem with microplastics is that like plastic items of any size they do not readily break down into harmless molecules.Plastics can take hundreds or thousands of years to decompose(降解).That means once produced,we cannot get rid of them.Microplastics exist on beaches and deeper waters,and have been detected in marine organisms from plankton to whales,in commercial seafood,and even in drinking water.They are mistaken for food by marine animals and some plastics are so tiny that they end up in the animal tissues.They are passed across the food chain,and some find their way to humans.Scientists are still unsure whether consumed microplastics are harmful to human or animal health and if so,what specific dangers they may pose.Even so,many countries are taking action to reduce microplastics in the environment.The best approaches to controlling microplastics include proper handling of plastics and thorough treatment of wastewater. 8.According to the first two paragraphs,microplastics are_________A.common in our daily lifeB.used to make glass bottlesC.found in all the uninhabited areasD.tiny plastic particles with a diameter of5mm9.What can we learn from Paragraph3?A.The use of straws should be forbidden.B.Household waste contains microplastics.C.Industrial waste is a source of secondary plasticsD.Wastewater and sewage treatment plants are useless.10.Why do microplastics end up in the tissues of marine animals?A.Because they’re consumed as food.B.Because they exist on the beaches.C.Because they easily break down.D.Because they’re left out in the food chain.11.What’s the purpose of the text?A.To analyze the sources of microplastics.B.To warn people of the danger of microplastics.C.To give an overall introduction to microplastics.D.To persuade people to give up the use of microplastics.Is it time to put the brakes on the development of artificial intelligence?If you've quietly asked yourself that question,you're not alone.In late March,a group of AI experts signed an open letter calling for a six-month pause on the development of more powerful models than GPT-4;European researchers called for tighter AI regulations;and long-time AI researcher Yudkowsky demanded a complete shutdown of AI development.Meanwhile,the industry shows no sign of slowing down.In March,a senior AI executive at Microsoft spoke of“very,very high”pressure from chief executive to get GPT-4 and other new models to the public“at a very high speed”.GPT-4is much larger and has been trained on significantly more data.Like other large language models,GPT-4works by guessing the next word in response to prompts(提示).In tests,it passed legal and medical exams,and can write software better than professionals in many cases.And its full range of abilities is yet to be discovered.GPT-4and models like it are likely to have huge effects across many layers of society. They could facilitate personalized phishing(网络钓鱼)attacks,produce disinformation at scale,and be used to hack through the net-work security around computer systems. Open AI's own research suggests models like GPT-4are“general-purpose technologies”which will influence80percent of the US workforce.Professions such as customer services, primary translations and editing,and security guard will be greatly impacted.Moreover, technology is accelerating much faster than our ability to understand and regulate it.If we're not careful,it will also drive changes that are too fast for safety.The US sociologist E.O. Wilson described the dangers of change like so:“The real problem of humanity is the following:we have Paleolithic(旧石器时代的)emotions,medieval(中世纪的)institutions and god-like technology.”I believe a wise course of action is to slow down and think about where we want to take these technologies.It is not about stopping,but rather moving at a sustainable pace of progress.We can choose to steer this technology,rather than assume it has a life of its own we can't control.12.How is the first paragraph mainly developed?A.By listing reasons.B.By giving examples.C.By making comparisons.二、完形填空三、语法填空五、完成句子六、单词拼写七、完成句子九、翻译71.一个微笑可以帮助我们度过困难的处境,并在陌生人的世界里交到朋友。
