河南省周口市鹿邑县2024-2025学年高二上学期10月月考英语试题一、阅读理解If you’re wondering why indoor skate parks are becoming the hottest trend among the young ones, just think about the incredible benefits they offer:● Safety First: Indoor skate parks are designed with safety in mind, featuring soft ramps (斜坡), padded areas, and well-maintained obstacles, ensuring your kids can skate without the worry of weather-related risks.● Community Spirit: They are not just about skateboarding; they’re energetic communities where kids can make new friends, learn from each other, and share a positive atmosphere.● Professional Guidance: Most indoor parks have experienced instructors ready to help your kids learn and improve in a structured and supportive environment.Choosing the Best Indoor Skate Park for Your FamilyNow that you’re all stoked about indoor skate parks, it’s time to find the perfect one for your family’s needs. Here’s a checklist to help you make an informed choice:● Variety of Features: Look for a park with diverse areas and obstacles that cater to (迎合) all skill levels, from beginners to advanced skaters.● Cleanliness and Maintenance: A well-kept park is a happy park. Check out reviews or visit in person to ensure the facility is clean and well-maintained.● Staff Credentials (资质): Inquire about the qualifications of the staff and coaches. It’s essential they have the experience and skills to provide a safe and supportive learning environment.● Opening Times: Make sure the park’s schedule matches with your family’s routine. Consider memberships or punch cards if you plan on becoming regulars!● Snack Facilities: Active kids are hungry kids. See if there’s a cafe or snack bar to refuel after an energetic session.By keeping these points in mind, you’ll be able to find an indoor skate park that not only fuels the passion for skateboarding in your children but also becomes a regular spot for familybonding and fun.1．Who will most probably sign up for the indoor skate parks?A．A man caring about maintenance of a park.B．A designer interested in snack facilities.C．A kid eager to go for outdoor activities.D．A mother motivating her kids to learn skateboarding.2．What can we know about kids skating in indoor skate parks?A．They needn’t be concerned about weather’s impact.B．They can play skateboards with parents whenever.C．They will gain guidance from foreign instructors.D．They must compete with each other regularly.3．Which of the following may not be necessarily considered?A．The qualifications of the staff.B．Opening hours including holidays.C．Cleaning and safeguard of facilities.D．Accommodation and hotels.It is my first time playing the game, which I know nothing about. I am not a soccer fan, and every time I watch a match, I fall asleep within 10 minutes, without exception.Before I went to The Other Green’s salon held by La Otra — a women-themed bookstore in Beijing — last month, playing soccer never would have appeared on my bucket list. I regularly do yoga, cycle and swim, which, in my eyes, are good exercises for women, while soccer, definitely, is for men.How can soccer become a feminist (女权主义的) topic? What prevents women from participating in the game? Or is it really a game only for men? Keeping these questions in mind, I step into the salon and meet five members from the Beijing-based WM female soccer club. They look wonderful, with sunny smiles and athletic figures. And their passion and confidence impress me when they talk about how soccer has changed their lives.What’s more, they all faced societal prejudices about women playing soccer and want to break gender gaps. A tough player since primary school, Xiao Da used to be the only girl on the court and was excluded from school training because there was no girls’ team at her school.Being a working mother for seven years, my life has been limited to the office and home,and when I heard about the physical and mental benefits that it brings, I hoped soccer can make a difference in my boring life.This is where the story starts. After an hour of warm-up exercises and practising kicking a ball around, here comes the match time. I try to shoot twice, miss both times and I hurt my right leg for perhaps the following two weeks. I still feel the pain. But I also feel that, for me, happiness is real on the court. Soccer is more than just a game.4．What impression do the female soccer members leave on the author?A．They’re energetic and confident.B．They’re angry with gender prejudice.C．They’re always treated fairly.D．They’re respected by others.5．What does the underlined phrase “excluded from” in Paragraph 4 mean?A．Accepted.B．Refused.C．Elected.D．Protected.6．Why does the author take part in the soccer team?A．To satisfy her own curiosity.B．To be different from others.C．To make life more meaningful.D．To escape from the real world.7．What does the author imply in the last paragraph?A．She will give up playing soccer.B．She is determined to teach soccer.C．She takes a fancy to soccer.D．She gets more hurt than happiness from soccer.Most of us like shortcuts — the ones that get us to a place faster, whether we have to walk through a few trees or jump over a wall. But how far would you go to make a really good shortcut? Probably not as far as the Americans did when they built the Panama Canal, giving ships a quicker route between the Atlantic Ocean and the Pacific. When it opened in 1914, the canal cut the journey time from the east coast of the US to the west coast by as much as 15,000 kilometres.This was not an easy shortcut. Panama had been chosen mainly because it was the narrowest part of Central America. But the land was mountainous and full of tropical rain forests and it was still more than 80 kilometres wide. It’s said that almost 6,000 workers died from making the canal between 1904 and 1913, but the real number is probably much higher.As well as the difficult, dangerous job they had, those workers — many from the Caribbean — had to deal with heat, mosquitoes (蚊子), snakes and lots of rain. The result was a canal thathas been called one of the wonders of the modern world.Today, a ship entering the canal has to pass through three sets of locks. These are used like stairs, and they’re needed because the canal is not of the same height all the way through. The locks use lots of fresh water to lift up the boats-on average, 9 billion liters every day from lakes next to the canal.And although Panama is a wet country, the climate is changing, and there is less water now than there used to be. The Panama Canal is still a shortcut for now, but it’s in danger.8．How does the author develop Paragraph 1?A．By giving an example.B．By asking a question.C．By referring to old writings.D．By making an assumption.9．Why was the Panama Canal called a hard shortcut?A．Panama has complex geography characters.B．6, 000 workers died each year during its building process.C．Panama always came across terrible weather.D．Unknown wildlife increased challenges of making it.10．What do you think of the locks using fresh water?A．It is a waste of natural resource.B．It makes lakes next to the canal in danger.C．It is a must to keep boats run smoothly.D．It is a good way to deal with changeable climate.11．Which of the following is the best title for the text?A．Everyone Is Willing to Take ShortcutsB．The Great Canal Facing Climate ChangesC．The Panama Canal Is an Important ShortcutD．The Old Canal Lacking Water to Lift BoatsMore than 2,200 years ago, a battle between the Romans and the Carthaginians took place at sea off northwestern Sicily. Rome was victorious, defeating the other military ships and ending the war. While so much was destroyed at the time, scientists have recently discovered a shipwreck that was sunk in the battle with at least 114 animal species living on the ship’s ram (夯锤).The ram’s discovery is an important archaeological discovery. But finding it to be a host for so much underwater life also provides great insight for scientists studying how marine animals colonize (聚居) empty sites and slowly create diverse and rich communities there.The ram was recovered in 2017, located between 75 and 90 metres deep. It’s bronze and hollow, allowing it to accumulate (积累) sea creatures both inside and outside. Several years later the ram was cleaned and restored by researchers. All the marine animals found inside and outside the ram were collected, along with blocks of sediment (沉积物) and hardened materials from the same area.Scientists have been working to compare the species found in and around the ram with those found in similar Mediterranean habitats. They reconstructed how it had likely been colonized. “We conclude that the primary ‘constructors’ in this community are organisms which attach themselves directly to the wreck’s surface,” said Edoardo Casoli from Sapienza University of Rome. “Then there are ‘habitants’ which aren’t attached but move freely between empty spaces in the superstructure. What we don’t yet know exactly is the order in which these organisms colonize wrecks.”“Younger shipwrecks (遇难船只) typically host a less diverse community than their environment,” said Maria Flavia Gravina, another researcher. “By comparison, our ram is much more representative of the natural habitat. It can act as a novel kind of sampling tool for scientists, which effectively acts as an ‘ecological memory’ of colonization.”12．Why is the battle between the Romans and the Carthaginians mentioned?A．To lead in the topic.B．To draw a conclusion.C．To arouse the sympathy about the war.D．To clarify the serious damage caused by the war.13．How did scientists do researches about the marine animals on the ram?A．By creating the post-war situations.B．By comparing the habitats of 114 species.C．By restoration, reconstruction and comparison.D．By putting the organisms colonize wrecks in order.14．What does the underlined word “It” refer to in the last paragraph?A．The ship’s ram.B．The marine environment.C．A less diverse community.D．The natural habitat of marine animals. 15．Where is the text probably taken from?A．A guidebook to a sea exploration.B．An educational website.C．A government document.D．A natural science magazine.How to Introduce Friends to Other FriendsYou may find that you have two friends that you really want to introduce to each other.16 .

Apart from me there are a few old ladies who have come to the court and a class of 14-15 year-olds with their teacher.9:05 Court starts. First case: Henry P.，47, divorced, charged with being drunk. He refused to leave a pub at closing time and caused a bit of damage when the police tried to arrest him. P. said he had had an argument with his boss and could not face going home to an empty flat.9:50 Mrs F., 72, shoplifting (店内偷窃). Apparently Mrs F. had stolen a frozen chicken, which she had hidden under her hat (At this the school children burst out laughing and even the judges have difficulty keeping a straight face). The chicken was so cold that she fell unconscious, otherwise she would probably not have been caught. Mrs F, in tears, says she had not eaten meat for three weeks. It turns out that, although she has the old - age pension, she does not know about other forms of support.10:30 Peter D., 19. D. stole, or rather “borrowed” a motorcycle, intending, he said, to give it back to the owner after trying it out.D.’s father is at sea and the mother is left to bring up fourchildren, of whom Peter is the eldest, by herself.11:00 Mrs A., 45, a doctor’s wife, president of a local ladies’ club, was caught leaving a fashion shop wearing two dresses, only one of which belonged to her.

A few hours later, themoon is overhead but seems to have changed. The huge orange globe has become a small silver disk. What has happened? Why has the orange color disappeared? Why does the moon seem so much smaller and farther away now that it is overhead?The moon appears orange on the horizon because we view it through the dust of the atmosphere. The overhead moon does not really shrink as it moves away from the horizon. Our eyes inform us that the overhead moon is farther away. But in this position the moon is actually closer to our eyes than when it is near the horizon.The change in size is a trick our eyes and minds play on us. When the moon is low in the sky, we can compare its size with familiar objects. It is easy to see that the moon is much larger than trees or buildings, for example. When the moon is high in the sky, however, it is hard to compare it with objects on earth. Compared to the vastness of the sky, the moon seems small. There is another reason why the moon seems to shrink. We are used to staring at objects straight ahead of us. When an object is difficult to see, our eyes have to try to focus on it. When we move our heads back to look up, we will try hard again. Looking at something from an unaccustomed position can fool you intobelieving an object is smaller or farther away than it is. However, scientists do not yet understand completely why the moon seems to shrink as it rises in the sky.24. What makes us puzzled when the moon is high in the sky?A. It looks different.B. It becomes large.C. Its color disappears.D. Its shape changes.25. What really happens when the moon floats farther away from the horizon?A. It turns orange.B. It comes nearer.C. It goes farther.D. It gets through dust.26. What does the author intend to suggest by mentioning trees and buildings in Para. 3?A. They are low on earth.B. They are large objects.C. They can affect our judgment.D. They can attract our attention.27. What can we infer from the text?A. The size of the moon often changes.B. We do not see the moon as it really is.C. The moon is beginning to shrink much.D. The moon is in fact a huge orange globe.4.（8分）CThe sun was slipping down through the trees and it was time to go home. Time was running out. His mother would look at him and she would know. She always knew. A hot tear ran down his cheek. She trusted him. This was the first year she had left him alone for three hours between school and the time she got home from work. She had to work to buy his clothes and to pay for their food and for a place to live. He remembered the nice way she said, “You are a little man now, Joy.” It made him sad when his mother’s words came back to him. She trusted him. Remembering this, he felt as if someone had stuck a sharp stick into his side. Her trust in him was all he could think about now. It drove everything else from his mind. “She trusted me.” He kept saying to himself. “She trusted me.” This was most important. Next to this, the pipe and its magic power meant nothing.Joy looked at the long shadows coming toward him. He now knew what he had to do. And he was in a hurry to get it done. When he took the pipe, he left the store with slow unsure steps.Now his feet were quick, decisive, taking him straight back to the store like an arrow. He was out of breath when he reached the store.Mr. Dow was just inside the door. The big man smiled. Joy wished he had not. Somehow, a bad friendly smile made it more difficult for Joy to do what he wanted to do. Joy was lost for a moment. His feet felt heavy. Suddenly, blindly, he held out the pipe. His voice struggled to come out from deep inside of the painful chest.“Mr. Dow,” he said at last, “I didn’t mean to take it.”“Thanks, Joy.” Mr. Dow said as he gently took the pipe from the boy’s hand. “How about staying around and helping me close up the shop?”Joy felt Mr. Dow’s big hand on his shoulder. And Joy felt his shoulders had become a little broader and stronger.28. What kind of a life did Joy and his mother live?A. A poor life.B. A new life.C. A happy life.D.A modem life.29. Why did Joy feel like being hurt by something sharp?A. He felt sorry for his mother.B. He couldn’t help thefamily.C. He had run away from school.D. He disappointed his mother’s expectations.30. What do we know about Mr. Dow’s smile to Joy?A. It’s broad.B. It’s warm.C. It’s false.D. It’s secret.31. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. An Interesting PipeB. A Powerful SmileC. Unconditional LoveD. Magic Trust5.（8分）DAmericans recognize that there is a past on which the present rests. But they have not developed their sense of the depth of time as much as this has been done in the Middle East and South Asia. The Arab looks back two to six thousand years for his own origins. History is used as the basis for almost any modem action. The chances are that an Arab won’ start a talk or a speech or analyze a problem without first developing the historical aspects of his subject. The American assumes that time has depths but he seldom stresses its importance of it.The American never questions the fact that time should be planned and future events should be fitted into a schedule. He thinks that people should look forward to the future and not talk too much on the past. His future is not very far ahead of him. Results must be obtained in the foreseeable future — one or two years or, at the most, five or ten. Promises to meet deadlines and appointments are taken very seriously. There is real punishment for being late and for not keeping commitments in time. The American thinks it is natural to calculate the value of time. To fail to do so is unthinkable. The American calculates how much time is required to do everything. “I’ll be there in ten minutes.” “It will take six months to finish that job.” “I was in the Army for four and a half years.”The Americans, like so many other people, also use time as a link that chains events together. If one event occurs on the heels of another, we will certainly try to find a causal relationship between them. If A is seen around the area of B's murder shortly after the crime has been committed we automatically form a connection between A and B. However, events which are separated by too much time are difficult for us to connect in our minds. This makes it almost impossible for us as a nation to engage (从事) in long-range planning.32. How do Americans see past time according to the first paragraph?A. It’s valueless.B. It’s limited.C. It reflects today.D. It helps start a talk.33. What does the underlined phrase “to do so” in paragraph 2 refer to?A. To calculate the value of the past.B. To plan a schedule for future events.C. To figure out the importance of time.D. To meet deadlines and appointments.34. When will Americans chain two events together?A. When common evidence is found.B. When the two events happen one by one.C. When A is found near the scene of B’s crime.D. When one event happens long after another.35. What does the author mainly want to tell Americans to do?A. See time further.B. Make a long-range plan.C. Remember the past time.D. Keep their commitments.三、阅读七选五（本题共计1小题，总分10分）6.（10分）In the villages of Mexico, as in some other parts of the world, shopping is a kind of game.

江苏省南通市区2024-2025学年高二10月月考英语试卷
江苏省南通市区2024-2025学年高二10月月考英语试卷一、阅读理解Looking to inspire curious young minds? These are some of the best popular science books for children, which should keep the young minds full of ideas long into the future.Amazing JellyfishThis book includes plenty of impressive facts. The first-person style of the author helps to keep the attention of young readers, by including personal stories and avoiding all pages of words. Each part is divided into detailed drawings and valuable information. The book has fun jokes about jellyfish, a maze (迷宫) with sea trash, and more.A Brief History of StuffDK has chosen a mix of many different things for this unique book. From baby bottles to pens, there isn’t much of a logical (合乎逻辑的) path or timeline, making it a great book for kids of all ages. Seeing a list of everyday items such as a pot or a fridge, you realize how little you know about the stories behind them. This book has all the information you need about their beginnings and impact on society.A Kid’s Guide to the Night SkyThe night sky is filled with countless astronomical objects to explore and this book does its best to introduce a wide variety of them to children. The life cycle of stars and light pollution are just a few of the topics that the book introduces to its audience. It also takes a deep div e into each of the solar system’s planets and some of the amazing technology that’s working to find out more about them.Radar (雷达) and the RaftThe story of radar, along with the inventors and contributing scientists, comes together in this book about the technology’s development and lifesaving uses. By connecting the story of the Bell family’s near-death experience at sea with the story of radar’s discovery, the author has produced an interesting and informative storyline.1．What is a main feature of Amazing Jellyfish?A．Using a strictly scientific style.B．Presenting a clear timeline of events.C．Focusing on fun games about sea life.D．Matching the text and the picture well. 2．How do readers probably perceive A Brief History of Steff?A．A collection of famous speeches.B．An introduction to historical heroes.C．A guide to exploring common objects.D．A handbook on starting interest clubs. 3．Which book best suits young enthusiasts for astronomy?A．Amazing Jellyfish.B．Radar and the Raft.C．A Brief History of Stuff.D．A Kid’s Guide to the Night Sky.How would you feel if your child were being tutored by a robot? It’s believed that social robots could become as common as paper and whiteboards in schools. Those robots have been used to read stories to preschool students in Singapore, help 12-year-olds in Iran learn English and improve handwriting among young children in Switzerland.As a professor of education, I study the different ways that teachers worldwide do their jobs. To understand how social robots could affect teaching, I introduced a robot called “Pepper” into a public elementary and middle school in the U. S. and found many problems with the current generation of social robots.To get the robot to perform, our students had to master the directions that came with the robot. Some students quickly figured out that the robot could respond only to certain basic routines. They kept trying to interact with the robot as if it were a person but got very frustrated with its nonhuman responses. When a robot failed to answer a question, or responded in the wrong way, students realized the robot wasn’t really understanding them and that the robot’s dialogue was preprogrammed.Also, I have found that these are not limited to school settings. Service robots in some health care facilities have been programmed to deliver medicine, but this requires special sensors and programming. Stores and restaurants are experimenting with delivery and cleaning robots. But when a grocery store in Scotland tried to use “Pepper” for customer interactions, the robot was fired after a week.While the social robots currently used in schools are limited in functions, they can still provide useful learning experiences. Students can use them to learn more about robotics and artificial intelligence. Struggling with a robot’s limitations gives students real insights into thecomplicated nature of human social interaction. The opportunity to do hands-on work with a social robot shows students how difficult it is to program robots to copy human behavior. As AI becomes a bigger part of our work and lives, we need to teach students to think critically about what it means to live and work with social machines.4．What phenomenon is described at the beginning of the text?A．The global differences in educational approachesB．The transformative impact of robots on education.C．The adoption of social robots in classrooms worldwide.D．The innovative achievements in science and technology.5．How do students find their interaction with social robots?A．Amusing and engagıng.B．Challenging but beneficial.C．Ineffective and disappointing.D．Satisfying but time-consuming.6．What does the author want to show by mentioning the examples in paragraph 4?A．Robotics still has room for improvement.B．Technology has changed the way we workC．Many fields are open to experimenting with robots.D．Robots might pose a threat to people’s employment.7．What can students learn by interacting with limited-function social robots in schools?A．To master communication skills.B．To get some hands-on experience.C．To strengthen the sense of mission.D．To improve critical thinking ability.For many of us, online shopping has made the process of purchasing goods a far simpler and more convenient process. No longer do we have to head to shops to browse through various objects, wandering round endless shelves, before finally setting for the first thing we saw. These days, we find the item we want or need online, click on it, and check out its description and, most importantly, its user reviews. If it fits the bill, we send it to our basket and pay.There seems to be a wealth of options at our fingertips. But how do we know the options that pop up in front of us really are the best deals, and how might algorithms (算法) help or hold us back?Algorithms, simply put, are mathematical instructions which tell a computer how to solveproblems. When shopping is involved, what is the problem they solve? Well, they instruct a computer which advertisements to show and which products a user is most likely to buy. By analyzing the things we bought or looked at previously algorithms can predict what goods we’re most likely to be attracted by.For some people, the idea of something guessing your preferences could sound a bit worrying. But first, let’s look at the positives. By telling a computer to show us what we are interested in, it can not only save us a lot of time, but also help us find the best deals. However, there are some people who have concerns about the impact of algorithms on our shopping experience. It is possible that algorithms may only select options from a limited number of brands, or may favour products from certain companies. There are also concerns that we aren’t always shown the cheapest or best deal, even though that’s what we’re searching for.So, the takeaway from this is that algorithms are here to stay, and it’s wise to know they exist. Whenever you are shopping, be it online or off, make sure you shop around for the best deals. The first thing you see might not always be the best for you.8．What is the main factor that leads you to buy the product online immediately?A．The reasonable price.B．Salesgirls’ description.C．Customers’ comments.D．The convenient delivery.9．How do algorithms help customers find their favourite goods?A．The previous consuming records.B．The most advertisements they see.C．The frequency of visiting the store.D．The amount of money they spend. 10．What does the author think of algorithms used for online shopping?A．Doubtful.B．Beneficial.C．Negative.D．Worrying. 11．Which message does the author want to convey in the last paragraph?A．Many hands make light work.B．Actions speak louder than words.C．Only the feet tell if the shoes fit.D．Only comparing can see the gap.At a park in one of the world’s most polluted cities, a filtration (过滤) “tower” has been quietly cleaning the surrounding air since last summer. Called Verto, the device filters 600,000 cubic meters of air a day in New Delhi’s Sunder Nursery.Filtration towers were designed by architecture firm Studio Symbiosis. The firm’sco-founders, Amit Gupta and Britta Knobel Gupta, say their fan-powered devices can clean the air within a radius (半径) of 200 to 500 meters in some spaces, depending on wind speed and how open the surroundings are. “I think the towers can also be installed in public parks and squares, where people spend quality outdoor time,” Britta said, adding that installing (安装) the towers in spots where homeless people sleep might also be very beneficial.In 2019 alone, air pollution is thought to have caused nearly 1.6 million deaths in India, according to a study in medical journal The Lancet. New Delhi is regularly covered with smog, with vehicle emissions, crop-burning, and coal-fired power plants all contributing to the city’s bad air quality.In addition to the direct impact of pollution, the resulting climate change has caused heat waves that have killed more than 24,000 people in the country since 1992, according to a study published by the University of Cambridge.Amit estimated that maybe 100 of the towers would be required to filter the air across central New Delhi, though further research and a “full-scale model” would be required to calculate more figures. The devices are also designed to be easily transported, with the hope that they can be adopted on a larger scale.The filters, which need to be changed every three to nine months, are partly recyclable. Noise generated by the towers is, at a maximum of 75 decibels, similar to that of a standard kitchen exhaust fan (排风扇). To reduce Verto’s environmental impact, Studio Symbıosis installed energy-efficient smart fans that vary according to local conditions, slowing down when pollution is low, or when strong winds provide natural air flow.12．Which factor can improve the work efficiency of filtration tower?A．The height of tower.B．The surrounding people.C．The design of fans.D．The strength of wind.13．What is mainly discussed in Paragraphs 3 and 4?A．The death number in India since 1992.B．The consequence of climate change.C．The cause and effect of air pollution.D．The process of heat wave generation. 14．What is the striking feature of Verto?A．Cost-effective.B．Uniquely-designed.C．Eco-friendly.D．Completely-recycled15．What is the best title for the text?A．The air cleaning tower in India B．The bad air quality in New DelhiC．The filtration tower’s global trend D．Smart fans’ environmental purposeAppreciating art can be a rewarding experience. But it can also be confusing if you’re not sure where to start. Here are a few tips to help you get the most out of your art appreciation journey.One of the most important things to remember when looking at art is to approach it with an open mind. 16 Instead, allow yourself to experience the art work on its own terms and see what emotions or thoughts it awakens in you.When you first encounter a piece of art, take a few moments to look at it. Notice the colors, lines, shapes, and materials. 17 If you’re looking at a painting, try to identify the brushwork and how it contributes to the artistic effect of the piece.18 Thinking about the situation in which a piece was created can help you better understand and appreciate the work. For example, if you’re looking at a piece of art from the 19th century, it can be helpful to learn about the artistic movements and social issues that were common at the time.The medium in which a piece of art is created can have a significant impact on the final product. 19 Understanding the properties and limitations of different mediums can help you appreciate the technical skills and choices of the artist.If you’re looking at art in a museum or gallery, there may be a staff member available to answer your questions. Don’t be afraid to ask for more information. If you’re looking at art online or in a book, try to find out more about the work through research. 20A．Many works of art convey a deeper meaning.B．You can also turn to a professional about the subject.C．Try not to assume what the artist was trying to express.D．The key to appreciating art is to approach it with curiosity.E．Observe how the various elements of the artwork are arranged.F．Art is often created within a specific historical, or cultural context.G．A sculpture made of metal has a different feel from an oil painting.二、完形填空The town of North Rustico is a homey sort of place. Neighbors there are always sure to 21 one another as they go about their day. And that 22 of friendliness is apparently infectious.One day, local resident Lisa Sandoval was walking near the waterfront when she realized somebody was 23 to her. “I heard ‘Hello! Hello!’” Sandoval said. “I turned around and there wasn’t even a 24 . Then I heard the 25 again. I got a little 26 , and thought I must be hearing things.”It was then that Sandoval noticed only a crow (乌鸦) nearby. “I stopped and said, ‘Hello?’”27 , he answered me back, “Hello!”Sandoval later came to learn that she wasn’t the only one in town to have 28 the talking crow. The story goes that years earlier the bird had been found injured as a baby and 29 by an elderly man living nearby, who often spoke to him during his 30 . “That bird had learned to say hello and had been let go free after regaining his health,” Sandoval said. A few months after their 31 meeting, Sandoval ran into the talking crow again.Crows, much like parrots, are indeed 32 of learning to mimic human language. So, if the story of his 33 is true, his vocalizations (说出的话) may very well 34 the voice of the elderly man who’d saved him. “He passed away years ago,” Sandoval said, but his legacy (遗产) 35 in the friendly, feathered bird. 21．A．understand B．greet C．attract D．remember 22．A．chance B．principle C．sense D．demand 23．A．pointing B．speaking C．responding D．appealing 24．A．soul B．signal C．choice D．change 25．A．answer B．rhythm C．warning D．voice 26．A．confused B．bored C．messy D．guilty 27．A．Gradually B．Carelessly C．Incredibly D．Accidentally 28．A．attended B．adopted C．encountered D．expected 29．A．introduced B．nursed C．grabbed D．accepted30．A．residence B．flight C．absence D．recovery 31．A．initial B．regular C．casual D．private 32．A．aware B．proud C．capable D．ignorant 33．A．origin B．talent C．injury D．departure 34．A．raise B．reflect C．protect D．replace 35．A．sets off B．gives up C．backs down D．lives on三、语法填空阅读下面短文，在空白处填入一个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

She did not know if she was going to make it and wanted to give up. She was tired of fighting and struggling. It seemed as one problem was solved a new one arose.Her father, a cook, took her to the kitchen. He filled three pots with water and placed each on a high fire. Soon the pots came to a boil. In one he placed carrots, in the second he placed eggs, and in the last he placed ground coffee beans. He let them sit and boil, without saying a word.The daughter sucked her teeth and impatiently waited, wondering what he was doing. In about twenty minutes he turned off the burners. He fished the carrots out and placed them in a bowl. He pulled the eggs out and placed them in a bowl. Then he ladled the coffee out and placed it in a mug. Turning to her, he asked, “Darling, what do you see?”“Carrots, eggs, and coffee,” she replied.He brought her closer and asked her to feel the carrots. She did and noted that they were soft. He then asked her to take an egg and break it. After pulling off the shell, she observed the hard-boiled egg. Finally, he asked her to sip the coffee. She smiled, as she tasted its rich aroma.“What does it mean, father?” she humbly asked.He explained that each of them had faced the same adversity, boiling water, but each reacted differently. The carrot went in strong, hard, and unrelenting; but after being subjected to the boiling water, it became softened and weak. The egg had been fragile; its thin outer shell had protected its liquid interior; but after sitting through the boiling water, its inside became hardened.The ground coffee beans were unique, however; after they were in the boiling water, they had changed the water.“Which are you?” he asked his daughter.4．Why did the daughter complain to her father?A．Because she found life was extremely cruel to her.B．Because she found that she was at a loss in her life.C．Because she was tired of fighting and struggling with others.D．Because she doubted if she’d make it to addressing the boredom in life.5．What did the father take his daughter to the kitchen for?A．To boil three things for her.B．To explain to her what life is.C．To give her some inspiration.D．To carry out an experiment with her. 6．What can be inferred from the text?A．The father seemed to be in favor of the egg most.B．The carrot was likely to be the daughter’s favourite.C．The three things all stood the test of the boiling water.D．The ground coffee beans chose to affect their surroundings.7．What’s the best title for the text?A．A vivid lesson B．A best choiceC．A tough challenge D．A rough rideWhen driving, Clara-Marina Martinez makes a note of any unusual behaviour she sees on the road. She then feeds these into machine-learning algorithms (算法), a form of AI, which she is helping develop for Porsche Engineering.Those algorithms are intended to produce a system reliable enough for a car to drive itself. Such a fully autonomous car, known in the industry as Level 5, should be able to complete anentire journey without any intervention (介入) from the driver, and deal with all situations on the road. But this is proving hard to achieve, and many attempts to do so are being abandoned. Last year, for instance, Uber sold off its unit developing self-driving cars.Autonomous vehicles are said to be not just convenient but potentially safer. However, just as people take time to learn how to drive safely, so do machines. And machines are not quick learners. The RAND Corporation calculates that to develop a system 20% safer than a human driver, 100self-driving cars would have to operate 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.Carmakers such as Porsche therefore speed up the development process using simulators (模拟器). These teach software about dangers rarely encountered in reality. Dr Martinez and her colleagues employ “game engines” to do this. These are used to create virtual worlds through which the software can drive. Objects in these virtual worlds are assigned their physical characteristics (ie, buildings are hard, people are soft) so that the sensors in vehicles respond in the appropriate way. Once the software has been trained, it is tested in real autonomous vehicles by re-creating those situations on a test track.How quickly all this will translate into reality remains to be seen. Both regulators and customers will need to overcome the doubt that a software driver really can be safer than a human being.From Porsche’s point of view, though, there is another question. Given that much of the reason owning a sports car is for owners to show off their driving skills, just how big a market will there be for a version where software takes those bragging (炫耀的) rights away?8．Why does Clara-Marina Martinez note the unusual behaviour on the road?A．To market Porsche cars.B．To improve an AI technology.C．To learn to be a responsible driver.D．To enjoy riding in a self-driving car.9．The problem with self-driving cars is that .A．they learn as slowly as human beingsB．they operate for a very short period of timeC．they have to be monitored by human driversD．they need a long time to reach a certain safety level10．What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 4 refer to?A．Employing simulators on a test track.B．Speeding the development of process.C．Figuring out the physical road dangers.D．Separating the real world from the virtual world.11．What worries Porsche according to the last paragraph?A．The reliability of car software.B．The future of the sports car market.C．The driving skills of human beings.D．The quality of self-driving cars in the future.Studies have shown the mere exposure effect, also referred to as the familiarity principle, inspires our decisions. It is a helpful psychological mechanism that helps us sustain our energy and focus our attention on other things. Getting used to new things takes effort and it can be tiring. So unless we have a terrible experience, we are likely to buy from companies we’ve got used to. That is why companies spend so much money on advertising and marketing and why insurance (保险) companies openly charge existing customers more than new ones.It’s not the case that we only desire things we already know. Some studies suggest when invited to share our preferences, we sometimes see less familiar options as more desirable. But when acting on that preference, we fall back to what we know. This might explain why sometimes the things we want and the things we do don’t quite match up. We might even return to companies that treated us poorly in the past or stay in bad relationships.It’s easy to paint the familiarity principle as an enemy or something to battle as if it is something that holds us back from living our dreams. But this attitude might be overwhelming because it tends to encourage us toward big-picture thinking. Where we imagine that change requires a quite dramatic swing that we don’t feel ready for. Some articles suggest the solution to familiarity frustration (沮丧) is complete exposure to novelty. While this can appear effective in the short term, we may only end up replacing one problem with another. It also risks overwhelm and burnout.So what if we can work with the familiarity principle instead? Familiarity is something wecan learn to play with and enjoy. It is a setting for creativity and a pathway to expansion. We can broaden the zone of familiarity bit by bit. If we think of familiarity as something that can expand, we can consider changing the conditions in and around our lives to make more space for our preferences to take root and grow gently. From here, we will start to make decisions, drawing from an ever-deepening pool of valuable options.12．What allows insurance companies to charge old customers more?A．The advertising cost.B．The improved service.C．The familiarity principle.D．The principle of the market.13．We can learn from paragraph 2 that .A．Our preferences affect our decisionsB．Familiarity tends to generate disrespectC．The familiarity principle is a double-edged swordD．There can be a mismatch between desires and actions14．What is the author’s attitude towards the solution in some articles?A．Disapproving.B．Tolerant.C．Objective.D．Reserved. 15．Which of the following is the best title for the text?A．Step Out of Your Familiarity ZoneB．Spare a Thought for Your PreferenceC．Gently Expand Your Familiarity ZoneD．Give Priority to the Mere Exposure EffectEssential CreativityIn a recent survey in America, 62% of people said that creativity was more important to success in the workplace than they had expected it to be when they were in school.16 It is of course possible to scan people’s brains and see which parts are firing when an idea is created, but rather more romantically it can be thought of as something that cannot be identified. Creativity is what comes to you when you least expect it. You cannot demand creativity from your mind, nor can you demand that you are creative in a particular way.One misconception about creativity is that it is reserved for a few special people. This is not true. 17 Another misconception is that creativity is all about the arts but this simply isn’ttrue. 18It is incredibly important that schools do not prevent creativity. 19 Students should be taught to ask questions and investigate when things do not make sense. They need to learn to view mistakes as opportunities for learning rather than something that was unsuccessful. But now it is worrying that many schools are less concerned with nurturing creativity. However, without creativity, we are indistinguishable from the masses. 20 Meanwhile, we can also channel it to face the challenges of the future.A．We can use it to set ourselves apart.B．It’s difficult to define what creativity is.C．Everyone has the capacity to be creative.D．We can employ creativity to deal with the world.E．Rather, they should work to expand, grow, and exercise it.F．It’s hard to work out where exactly creativity comes from.G．Creativity extends to maths and science in just the way it does to music and literature.二、完形填空Atomic (原子的) shapes are so simple that they can’t be broken down any further. Mathematicians are trying to 21 artificial intelligence (AI) to build a “periodic table” (周期表) of these shapes.Tom Coates at Imperial College London and his colleagues are working to classify (分类) atomic shapes 22 as Fano varieties, which are so simple that they can’t be broken down into smaller 23 . Just as chemists arranged elements in the periodic table by their atomic weight and group to 24 new insights, the researchers hope that organizing these atomic shapes by their various 25 will help in understanding them.The team has assigned each atomic shape a sequence of numbers 26 its features such as the number of holes it has or the 27 to which it twists around itself. This acts as a bar code (条形码) to 28 it. Coates and his colleagues have now created an AI that can predict certain properties of these shapes from their bar code numbers alone, with an 29 of 98 percent.The team member Alexander Kasprzyk, who works at the University of Nottingham, UK, says that the AI has let the team organize atomic shapes in a way that begins to 30 the periodic table, 31 when you read from left to right, or up and down, there seem to be organized patterns in the geometry (几何) of the shapes.The team hopes to 32 the model to the point where missing spaces in its periodic table could point to the existence of unknown shapes, which could 33 benefit further study.Graham Niblo at the University of Southampton, UK, stresses that humans will still need to understand the results provided by the AI and creates proofs of these ideas. “AI has 34 got unbelievable abilities. But in the same way that telescopes (望远镜) don’t put astronomers out of work, AI doesn’t put mathematicians out of work,” he says. “It just gives us new 35 that allows us to explore parts of the mathematical landscape that are out of reach.”21．A．go about B．turn to C．break with D．throw in 22．A．rewarded B．encountered C．entitled D．diverged 23．A．components B．perspectives C．variations D．transformations 24．A．enhance B．estimate C．reveal D．guarantee 25．A．predictions B．properties C．arrangements D．allowances 26．A．trapped in B．compared to C．bent on D．based on 27．A．scale B．extent C．width D．dimension 28．A．identify B．grasp C．imply D．cast 29．A．concept B．impression C．essence D．accuracy 30．A．differ B．follow C．multiple D．claim31．A．as though B．even if C．so that D．now that 32．A．display B．expose C．distinguish D．improve 33．A．in turn B．in contrast C．by turns D．in return 34．A．critically B．definitely C．strikingly D．comprehensively 35．A．setting B．booming C．backing D．calling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。

But in one special program in New York State, adults and teenagers live together in a friendly way.Each summer 200 teenagers and 50 adults live together for eight weeks as members of a special work group. Everyone works several hours each day. They do so not just to keep busy but to find meaning and enjoyment in work. Some teenagers work in the woods or on the farms near the village. Some learn to make things like tables and chairs and build houses. The adults teach them these skills.There are several free hours each day. Weekends are free, too. During the free hours, some of the teenagers learn photo taking or painting. Others sit around and talk or sing. Each teenager chooses his own way to spend his free time.When people live together, rules are necessary. In this program the teenagers and the adults make the rules together. If someone breaks a rule, the problem goes before the whole group. They talk about it and ask, “Why did it happen? What should we do about it?”One of the teenagers has this to say about his experience, “You stop thinking only about yourself, You learn to think about the group.”1. All the members work some time every day mainly to ______.A. lead a busy life.B. learn new skills of farming;C. get used to the life on the farmsD. find value and pleasure in work2. The last paragraph shows that the teenager thinks his experience in the program is______.A. unpleasantB. tiringC. helpfulD. boring3. The best title for the passage is ______.A. The rules of living togetherB. Life in New York StateC. Teenagers in the special groupD. Free hours in the special work group2.（10分）BI was born disabled．A difficult birth, feet first, my head stuck．By my first birthday, I couldn’t stand or walk．When I was three, the doctor told dad I had cerebral palsy（脑瘫）．A loss of oxygen （氧气）to my brain had destroyed brain signals to the right side of my body．But no son of my dad’s was going to be disabled．Every morning before breakfast and every evening before bed, my dad placed m e on the bedroom floor to exercise my right leg．The muscles were shrunk（收缩）and twisted（缠绕）together．Back and forth up and down, my dad pushed and pulled the muscles into shape．But my dad’s exercise of passion didn’t stop there．For my 13th birthday, he threw me a special party. When everybody was gone, he brought me to open a large box, it was a set of boxing gloves．We put them on．My dad kept on beating me mercilessly（无情地）．Each time I tried to get up,leather kissed my nose, eyes and jaw. I begged him to stop. He said he beat me to get me ready for the tough world.That same year, I was the only kid in my neighborhood that wasn’t picked for Little League. Two weeks later, Dad started the Shedd Park Minor League, and every kid played. Dad coached us and made me a pitcher（棒球投手）.The power of my dad’s love guaranteed I walked and more. In high school, I became a football star.In 1997, a brain surgeon in San Jose told me I didn’t have cerebral palsy after all. He explained how and where the doctor’s forceps（镊子）at birth had damaged my brain.My dad never knew the whole truth since he passed away years ago. But all that c ounts is the bottom line. After all his madness, on this Father’s Day, like every Father’s Day, I’m no longer disabled.4. What caused the author’s disability?A. A failed operation.B. The doctor’s forceps.C. An accident in a game.D. Shrunken and twisted muscles.5. What do we learn from the passage?A. The author has a talent for boxing.B. The author became a baseball star with the help of his father.C. The author achieved a lot thanks to his father’s love.D. The author doesn’t think his father should be so strict with him.6. Paragraph 3 suggests that the author’s father____.A. couldn’t accept the truth that his son was disabledB. believed his son was a normal childC. blamed the doctors for his son’s disabilityD. wouldn’t give up hope easily7. The author wrote the passage to ____.A. give advice to the parents of disabled childrenB. encourage disabled childrenC. show the difficulty the disabled faceD. remember his father3.（7.5分）CAccording to a survey (调查) by CIF, there's room for improvement all over Britain.Cleaning our home, love or hate it, is one job you have to work on. But that is not to say everyone spends the same amount (量) of time or effort on making their places tidy. A new survey by CIF-experts on making cleaning jobs easier shows that when it comes to washing windows or cleaning the oven (炉), where you live in the UK may show how much effort you put into the job.BATHROOM25% of men have never cleaned the toilet, but those in Wales are the worst. Nearly four in ten Welsh men said They never cleaned anywhere in the house. Hate cleaning the shower head? You are not alone - a quarter of a million British people say the same. 20% of Scottish people regard window-cleaning as their most hated job.KITCHEN36% of people in the southeast say cleaning the cooker is their hated task. 68% of those in the northeast spend more than six hours a week cleaning their homes, especially the kitchen. In sharp contrast (强烈的对比) to that, 49% of Welsh people put their hands up to cleaning for under an hour.BEDROOM18% believe cleamng starts here: the percentage of women who clean wearing their dressing gowns (a kind of clothes). 51% of women in the northwest may be staying in bed and giving their husbands a cuddle (拥抱) as a" thank you" for helping them clean. In other places, there are far fewer helpful men.LIVINGROOM32% of women in the northeast tum up the CD player to help make the cleaning more fun. Almost six in ten women agree, however, that cleaning is seriously energetic exercise.★SHIFT (除掉)' THE DIRT WITH CIF! *It's no secret that the right cleaning products will cut cleaning time and effort in half and no one knows that better than CIF. For all your cleaning needs, here are some of CIF s top tips:●Stop a lot of build-up on your shower head. Give it a quick squirt (喷) with CIF bathroom spray (喷剂) once a week.●Stainless steel (不锈钢) tools seem to need endless cleaning. The CIF Wild Orchid Oxy-Gel lifts dirt easily and leaves the kitchen smelling fresh and clean.●Cooking outside? CIF cream will get your barbecue (烧烤) completely clean, ready for those long, lazy summer evemngs. Perfect!8. The main purpose of this passage is to _______.A. tell us the results of a certain surveyB. advertise a certain cleaning productC. show us which is the hardest job at homeD. advise men to do more cleaning housework9. According to the survey, ______ spend the most time cleaning their homes.A. people in WalesB. people in the northwestC. people in the southeastD. people in the northeast10. CIF in the passage probably refers to ______.A. an organization doing research on houseworkB. some experts who give advice on doing houseworkC. a company providing advice and products on cleaningD. a TV show about providing cleaning products二、阅读七选五（本题共计1小题，总分10分）4.（10分）How did you learn how to ride your bike？Someone probably gave you a few lessons and then you practiced a lot．11 No one is born to know how to study．You need to learn a few study skills and then practice them．12 Do you have trouble paying attention in class？Are you sitting next to a loud person？Is it hard to see the board？Make sure you're sitting in a good seat that lets you pay attention．Tell your teacher or parents about any problems that are preventing you from paying attention and taking good notes．13 ．Waiting until Thursday night to study for Friday's test will make a homework night no fun! It also makes it hard to do your best．We're all guilty of putting things off sometimes．One of the best ways to make sure that doesn't happen is to plan ahead．Break it up! When there's a lot to study，it can help to break things into chunks（大块）．Let's say you have a test on 20 spelling words．Instead of thinking about all of the words at once，try breaking them down into a five-word chunks and working on one or two different chunks each night．Ask for help．You can't study effectively if you don't understand the material．14 You can check yourself by reading through your notes．Does it all make sense？If not，ask your teacher to go over it with you．Get a good night's sleep．So the test is tomorrow and you've followed your study plan-but suddenly you can't remember anything，not even 2+2! Don't worry．Your brain needs time to digest（消化）all the information you've given it．Try to get a good night's sleep．15A．Plan ahead for tests and projects．B．Study regularly instead of just the night before．C．You can learn how to study in much the same way．D．You'll be surprised by what comes back to you in the morning．E．If you're studying math or science，do some practice problems．F．Be sure to ask your teacher for help if you're confused about something．G．Good studying starts in class．三、完形填空（本题共计1小题，总分30分）5.（30分） I was a person who always felt desperate before.

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
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.

湖南省名校大联考2024-2025学年高二上学期10月月考英语试题
湖南省名校大联考2024-2025学年高二上学期10月月考英语试题一、阅读理解When the first modern Olympics kicked off in Athens in 1896, it wasn’t clear whether they’d last. However, it continued in 1900 and 1904, but not as a main attraction. Some of the Olympic events might seem a bit unusual to today’s sports fans.Chariot (战车) RacingStarting around 684 B．C．, drivers raced each other in horse-drawn chariots at the Olympics, sometimes crashing into one another. Only men could join in Olympic events as athletes, but wealthy women could show their support for chariots as sponsors. Because it was a chariot’s funder who received the victory title, not the racer himself, this was the only way women could “win” at the Olympics.Hot Air Balloon RacingThe 1896 Olympics lasted less than two weeks; but the 1900 Olympics, which were tied to the months-long world’s fair in Paris, ran from May to October. With the expanded time, the 1900 Olympics featured many more athletes and events than the 1896 Olympics, including various hot air balloon competitions. Hot air balloon drivers competed in terms of distance traveled, altitude reached and best photograph taken from a balloon. However, hot air balloon racing made its appearance for the first time and also the last time in 1900.Live Pigeon (鸽子) ShootingAnother event that appeared first at the 1900 Olympics was live pigeon shooting. In this competition, organizers set free pigeons into the air in front of a competitor, who then shot as many as possible. The winner was a Belgian man named Leon de Lun, who shot 21 pigeons. Altogether, the competitors killed around 300 pigeons. Luckily, live pigeon shooting only appeared at the Olympics once.PaintingStarting with the 1912 Olympics in Stockholm and continuing until the 1948 games in London, the Olympics held art competitions in painting as well as sculpture, music, architectureand literature. Some people competed in both the sports and art competitions, and two people even won medals in both fields. The art competitions were called off because so many competitors were professional artists, and the Olympics were supposed to make the amateurs(people who didn’t get paid for their athletic or artistic talent) shine.1．How could a woman be involved in Chariot Racing?A．By training a chariot driver.B．By funding a chariot.C．By competing in the race herself.D．By cheering for her favorite chariot driver. 2．What do Hot Air Balloon Racing and Live Pigeon Shooting have in common?A．They were accepted as Olympic events only once in history.B．They required excellent skills in photography.C．They involved the use of animals as a necessary part.D．They were warmly welcomed by the audience.3．Why were the art competitions removed from the Olympic Games?A．The costs of organizing them were too high.B．The quality of the artistic works was far from satisfactory.C．The competitors didn’t meet the organizer’s expectations.D．The Olympic Games focused more on promoting sports than arts.The National Geographic Society (NGS), a global nonprofit organization, honors this year’s National Geographic Explorer of the Year—biologist and environmentalist Fernando Trujillo— and celebrates his accomplishments in protecting the Amazonian river dolphin.In honor of his great contribution to working with local communities in South America to co-create measures that protect endangered marine(海洋的) wildlife and ecosystems, the NGS is pleased to announce that Fernando Trujillo is the 2024 winner of the Rolex National Geographic Explorer of the Year Award.The award recognizes a member of the National Geographic Explorer community who tries his best to raise awareness of important issues, discoveries and challenges facing our planet to generate a sustainable(可持续的) future.“Fernando is a solutions-driven changemaker who has spent more than 30 years researching and explaining key issues that impact our planet,” said Jill Tiefenthaler, CEO of the NGS. “Hiswork in South America enhances protection for endangered wildlife and supports sustainable practices for the betterment of local communities. The Society is especially proud to name Fernando the 2024 National Geographic Explorer of the Year to show the positive, significant difference he continues to make for our planet and those who call it home.”Fernando has had a long history with the Society, receiving his first award in 2008 to study the Amazonian river dolphins in Brazil and Peru. Fernando has spent decades studying wildlife with special attention to the Amazonian pink river dolphins in South America.“As the Amazonia experiences some of the most extreme climate disasters in decades, it is important to shine a spotlight on this issue, conduct deeper research and generate solutions to protect this region,” says Fernando. “Through this award, the Society is providing a loudspeaker for me to reach a global audience and encourage them to learn more and to care about the changes impacting our planet.”4．Who is most likely to receive the National Geographic Explorer of the Year Award?A．An individual who discovers the most new species.B．A scientist who contributes a lot to space exploration.C．A community member who spares no effort to make a sustainable planet.D．An environmentalist who raises the most funds for environmental protection.5．What does Jill Tiefenthaler’s statement suggest about Fernando’s work?A．It is full of danger.B．It targets climate effects.C．It centers on solving problems.D．It benefits those without home.6．What impact does the award have on Fernando?A．It will increase his influence around the world.B．It will bring financial support for his future work.C．It will provide opportunities for him to work with government.D．It will enable him to learn more about extreme climate disasters.7．Which of the following can best describe Fernando?A．Adventurous and lonely.B．Devoted and responsible.C．Famous and ambitious.D．Innovative and imaginative.Whole corn is good for you, but many of its processed varieties are not. The long-termhealth consequences of over-consumption may be significant.While most of us are encouraged to “eat more fruits and vegetables”, we probably don’t realize just how much one vegetable has become part of our daily diet. People in the United States eat more than 672 billion pounds of corn per year, which breaks down to more than 2,000 pounds per person annually.Eating the whole form of corn — which is also considered a grain — at a summer dinner, as popcorn, or as corn flour has undoubted health benefits such as lowering one’s risk of cancer, stroke, and heart disease. But most of us are consuming less whole corn and far more processed corn in the form of corn oil, corn starch, cornmeal, and high fructose corn syrup(果葡糖浆) — which can contribute to negative health effects including high blood pressure and high blood sugar.As a main ingredient in various processed foods and animal feed, corn has had a huge impact on diets globally. It has significantly influenced American and global food systems, promoting diets high in processed foods and animal fat, and low in fiber (纤维) and nutritional diversity.Indeed, most of us are unaware that we are consuming corn derivatives (派生物) in countless food sources including biscuits and bread, baby foods, chewing gum, doughnuts, ice cream, candies, processed meat, canned fruit, and most soft drinks.Is processed corn bad for you? Absolutely. This is most obvious in the byproducts of corn that have been shown to have negative health outcomes.High fructose corn syrup has been linked to increased risks of overweight, heart disease, and type 2 diabetes. Some studies suggest that high fructose corn syrup increases markers of inflammation (炎症) even more than table sugar. High fructose corn syrup makes up about 40 percent of our added sugars, so avoiding foods with it is one way to naturally lower added sugar intake.8．When it comes to processed corn, ________.A．the more, the better B．quality should come firstC．there is no one-size-fits-all rule D．more is not necessarily better9．How has corn impacted global diets?A．It has led to a reduction in sugar intake.B．It has played a main role in many processed foods.C．It has greatly increased the variety of nutritious foods.D．It has reduced the consumption of fruits and vegetables.10．What can be learned about high fructose corn syrup?A．It has a better taste than table sugar.B．It mainly consists of added sugars.C．It provides another healthy choice for people.D．It may make one take in sugar without knowing it.11．What is the author’s attitude toward corn consumption?A．Impersonal.B．Uncaring.C．Opposed.D．Supportive.Scientists are using new technology to help endangered animals by listening to their sounds. The research, conducted by The University of Warwick and The University of New South Wales in Australia, studies animal sounds from endangered species including that of elephants, whales and birds.It uses a new method adapted from tech used to study brain waves in neuroscience. Analysis of animal sounds can be used to estimate their population size, to check what animals live in a particular area, to understand their migration patterns, and to understand any negative impacts they may experience due to the increasing levels of noise created by human activity that is occurring in most of their habitats. Such knowledge is necessary in developing environmental management and protection strategies.The new method was shown to be more precise than the traditional ones. While testing this new method, called the Superlet transform, the study also revealed some previously unreported details in animal sounds. For example, the Asian elephant call isn’t just made up of continuous sounds, but also contains sounds that are “pulsed”, or regularly timed waves of sound energy.“The new method achieves greater precision while making it easier to use for those with less specialized training, so it should prove to be a hugely valuable tool for animal sound researchers that don’t have an engineering background,” said Lead Researcher Ben Jancovich, a PhD candidate from The University of New South Wales.Current methods have difficulty in precisely revealing both the rhythms and pitch (音高) ofsounds at the same time. These limitations are more pronounced at lower frequencies, influencing the analysis of sounds like those made by blue whales — gentle giants of the sea, sadly listed as an endangered species.The new technology will be free for people to use, through a simple-to-use app, making it easy for researchers from different fields to use, without needing wide knowledge of audio signal analysis.12．What is mainly talked about in paragraph 2?A．The significance of proper animal protection laws.B．The applications of animal sound analysis.C．The challenge faced by animal populations.D．The techniques used to study brain waves.13．Why is the Asian elephant mentioned?A．To show the performance of the Superlet transform.B．To stress the uniqueness of Asian elephants’ calls.C．To emphasize the importance of studying animal sounds.D．To compare the difference in sounds between Asian elephants and other species. 14．What does the underlined word “pronounced” in paragraph 5 mean?A．Varied.B．Complicated.C．Rare.D．Noticeable. 15．Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?A．Increasing Levels of Noises Affect AnimalsB．A Simple App Precisely Tracks Sounds of AnimalsC．Unreported Details in Animal Sounds Have Been FoundD．New Sound Tech Helps Save Animals from ExtinctionFor many people, finding happiness is the first goal, sometimes even more valuable than material achievement and success. How can you change happiness into lasting feelings of satisfaction?The difference between happiness and satisfaction16 Happiness is short, a moment of joy and confident, enjoyable feelings. Life satisfaction, on the other hand, is more long-lived, based on real progress and achievements, suchas your relationships, personal development, work, health and comfort. 17 And it is about your good life. In other words, satisfaction is more subjective (主观的) and personal and completely up to you.There is another way to think of the difference between happiness and satisfaction. Happiness is being happy in your life. 18 Life satisfaction is being happy about your life. It is the positive feeling you get when you talk about the past and about your life as a whole.How to build a life of satisfactionBuilding a life of satisfaction is not easy. 19 One of the things to do in search of life satisfaction is to cut down on people- pleasing behavior. This includes learning to be completely true to yourself, your dreams, your needs and freeing yourself from doing things for the wrong reasons.Another thing to work on is facing your fears and being willing to take risks. If there is one thing that is satisfying, it’s conquering (征服) something you are afraid of and choosing to do it anyway.20 You spend a lot of your waking hours at work and feeling satisfied with your life can have a great deal to do with how you are choosing to spend your time and how much value you put on that.A．In fact, it requires a lot of work.B．This will help us to grow as a person.C．It is also important to find meaning at work.D．Happiness and satisfaction are not the same thing.E．After all, satisfaction is a wonderful state of happiness.F．Satisfaction is also more about your own personal values.G．It can be experienced immediately, the moment it takes place.二、完形填空My childhood was difficult, because my parents separated when I was just 2.
