辽宁省沈阳市五校协作体2023-2024学年高二上学期期中考试英语试题
辽宁省沈阳市五校协作体2023-2024学年高二上学期期中考试英语试题学校:___________姓名:___________班级:___________考号:___________一、阅读理解GET A BIRD’S-EYE VIEW OF THE WORLD’S MOST ATTRACTIVE FEATHERED ANIMALS WITH THESE BOOKSFlamingo (火烈鸟)Biologist and photographer Claudio Contreras Koob spent 20 years travelling deep into the wet lands and forests of his native Mexico—and beyond—to feed his flamingo attraction. This book offers a unique window into the behavior and life of red-feathered birds, with more than 120 show-stopping shots displaying their beauty. teNeues, £35.Around the World in 80 BirdsInspiring secrets, national pride or scientific discoveries, every bird has a story to tell, from the weaver bird building multi-nest “apartment blocks” in Namibia to the bar-headed goose taking on a twice-yearly trans-Himalayan journey at an extreme altitude. Mike Unwin’s tour is accompanied by beautiful illustrations from Ryuto Miyake. Laurence King Publishing, £22.A World on the WingPulitzer-shortlisted Weidensaul, who’s at the forefront of research into bird migration, here tracks some of nature’s most remarkable journeys. He sails through the stormy Bering Sea, encounters trappers in the Mediterranean and visits former headhunters in northeast India, where a bird migration crisis has become a conservation success story. Pan Macmillan, £9.99.Galapagos Crusoes: A Year Alone with the BirdsExplore this updated version of the 1968 title, Galapagos: Islands of Birds, by late bird expert Bryan Nelson, with previously unpublished material from his wife, June. The couple spent a year living on two Galapagos islands, studying birds, including the Galapagos albatross (信天翁). This is their clever and amusing account. Bradt Guides, £11.99.1.By whom is the second costliest book illustrated?A.Claudio Contreras Koob.B.Mike Unwin.C.Ryuto Miyake.D.Weidensaul.2.Which book best suits those concerned about the survival of migratory birds?A.Flamingo.B.Around the World in 80 Birds.C.A World on the Wing.D.Galapagos: Island of Birds.3.What feature may Galapagos Crusoes: A Year Alone with the Birds have?A.Its humorous description.B.Its romantic style.C.Its vivid imagination.D.Its moving plot.My neighbors across the street take pride in one of the most striking trees in the neighborhood — a towering oak that is over 75 years old. This year, after a wet, warm summer, leaves were a bit different in my Massachusetts town. And through some combination of events, that glorious oak seemed to have dropped all of its uncountable leaves on a single windy day. I arrived at home that afternoon to find our front walkway, driveway and sidewalk completely blanketed.My son and I had a great time making a leaf pile for jumping and enjoying pillowy fun. The whole time, I was fascinated by the speed of this year’s leaf drop. Even though I was aware that it was an accident of wind patterns that left all the leaves in our yard, I kept looking up and feeling a rush of awe at the suddenly bare branches that watched quietly over our neighborhood, starting its restful season before setting spring leaf buds.And I felt thankful for those fallen leaves as I was reminded of my favorite quote from the author and naturalist Hal Borland. He wrote it referencing October, but this year’s later drop had me change the month: “November is the fallen leaf, but it is also a wider horizon more clearly seen. It is the distant hills once more in sight, and the enduring constellations (星座) above them once again.”When I lay in that pile of dry, crisp leaves and looked up into the oak tree across the street, I felt a clarity and peace that comes along with the inconveniently early sunsets and chilly temperatures of the transition from fall into winter. I could still admire the tree as I had in spring and summer, but I could also see through it, beyond it, to the big sky that blankets us all.4.What’s unusual this year?A.Outdoor activities are limited due to heavy winds.B.A series of special events happened in the neighborhood.C.The weather is especially cold in winter in Massachusetts.D.The neighbors’ big tree almost dropped all its leaves within a day.5.How does the author feel at the suddenly bare branches in Paragraph 2?A.Anxious.B.Sorrowful.C.Astonished.D.Comfortable. 6.Why are Hal Borland’s lines quoted in Paragraph 3?A.To express the author’s admiration for the naturalist.B.To emphasize the importance of getting close to nature.C.To stress the beauty of the author’s childhood memories.D.To convey the author’s feelings about the leaf-falling season.7.What is the best title for the text?A.The Fall of Massachusetts B.The Beauty of a Newly-bare TreeC.The Sky Far Beyond D.The Memories of Peace and BeautyEarth is lighted up by bioluminescence(生物发光)but,for many of us,seeing the natural phenomenon is a rare treat:Catching the glow(光)of a firefly or witnessing a dolphin swimming through electric blue waters is a thrill.Researchers are currently engineering glowing flowers and decorative plants that can cast a green light onto our living rooms. Observing plant’s health via its glow can be a way to instantly measure its health,and the side effect is anybody who wants a healthy glowing plant in their living room can have one.A study published on Monday in Nature Biotechnology shows that this goal is well on its way to being a reality. The study authors announce they’ve created a method that causes plants to glow much brighter,and for a longer period of time,than previous efforts.Plants adapted by this method should be available for purchase within a few years.The research was conducted through a teamwork between three scientific institutions and Plant,a biotech startup in Moscow.When this team examined a poisonous mushroom,they discovered that caffeic acid is responsible for its bioluminescence. In this new study, the team employed that information and inserted(嵌入)enzymes(酶) —which are specific to the mushroom —into the DNA of tobacco plants.In turn,the enzymes were able to interact with the caffeic acid in the tobacco plants,and cause them to glow both in the dark and in the daylight.This method,the scientists claimed,made the plants 10 times brighter than previous efforts and the continuous light production didn’t harm the health of the plants. Interestingly,the light decreased as the leaves aged—but it also increased when the leaves were damaged. In turn, the team suggested this method could also help other researchers monitor plant responses to various pressures and changes in the environment. If a plant is short of water or a hungry sheep is harming a plant,bioluminescence could warn of this damage before it’s too late.8.How can people quickly identify a decorative flower’s health condition?A.By monitoring its glow.B.By making it greener.C.By testing the chemicals in it.D.By putting it in the living room. 9.What can we expect of the adapted glowing plants?A.They may take the place of lamps.B.They will appear on the market.C.They can light up a whole living room.D.They glow less bright than previous efforts.10.What did the team do with the mushroom in the new study?A.They inserted caffeic acid into it.B.They made it give out brighter light.C.They grew it on the tobacco plants farm.D.They put its enzymes into the tobacco plants.11.What is the last paragraph mainly about?A.Warning of potential damage from glowing plants.B.Increasing light when glowing plants receive damage.C.Effects of continuous light production on the glowing plants.D.Benefits of combining specific enzymes with caffeic acid in plants.A decade ago, I attended a banquet in Guangzhou where the food was exceptional. The bird’s nest soup, made from chicken and possibly ham with dried scallops (干贝), was gentle and slippery. The sea cucumber was rich and sticky, and the fish was sparklingly fresh and steamed to perfection. However, what stood out was the plain white soup of broth (肉汁), served at the end. It was simple, plain, and perfect.Ending a banquet with soup may seem odd to Westerners, who are used to sweets at the end of meals. But as an English food writer named Fuchsia Dunlop explains in her book Invitation to a Banquet, soup is a unique expression of a chef’s art, much like a singer’s voice. The transparent, almost invisible soup is an ideal conclusion to a banquet, with its luxury and strong flavors.Invitation to a Banquet is Dunlop’s seventh book. Unlike her other books on Chinese cuisine such as The Food of Sichuan and Revolutionary Kitchen, this one is not a cookbook. Instead, she has chosen 30 dishes from different regions of China to illustrate different aspects of Chinese cuisine and history.What makes Dunlop’s writing unique is her perspective. She argues that Chinese cuisine is superior (更胜一筹的) not only in taste but also in its ability to incorporate foreign influences while still maintaining its own identity. Furthermore, Dunlop makes an equally compelling case that what Westerners think of as “Chinese food” is neither false nor wrong. It is merely a diasporic (离散的) branch that reflects local tastes and is representative of the cuisine’s diversity. Immigration and adventurousness have made authentic Chinese food more accessible outside China than ever before.In conclusion, Invitation to a Banquet by Fuchsia Dunlop provides a fascinating glimpse into the world of Chinese cuisine. Through her well-researched book and insightful discussions, she encourages readers to appreciate the complexity and richness of Chinese food.12.To the author, what is the most memorable dish about the banquet in Guangzhou?A.A sweet dessert.B.A bowl of plain white soup.C.A dish made from expensive ingredients.D.A fish that was rich and strong-flavoured.13.What does the underlined word “incorporate” mean in Paragraph 4?A.Include.B.Reject.C.Strengthen.D.Reduce.14.What is the unique perspective of Chinese cuisine in her book Invitation to a Banquet?A.Chinese desserts are the highlight of Chinese cuisine.B.Immigration makes little difference to Chinese dishes.C.Chinese food is limited to traditional ingredients and flavors.D.Chinese food is influenced by foreign elements while preserving its own identity. 15.What’s purpose of writing the passage?A.To introduce a dish.B.To recommend a book.C.To share an experience.D.To compare different cultures.二、七选五A Great Way to Teach Children to Take ResponsibilityAs parents, one of the most important things to teach children to take responsibility is to include chores as a part of their daily routine. In order to make a family function smoothly, every member must contribute. Teaching your children to take responsibility at an early age makes it easier for them to shoulder greater responsibilities as they grow older.16 If your children leave their crayons lying on the table after drawing, picking up those crayons is not a chore. It is cleaning up a mess they have created. 1718 . For example, if it is to feed the dog every day, make sure the children understand that if they fail in their responsibility, the dog will go hungry.Make rewards and punishments a part of the lesson. Together decide whether they will be rewarded or not. 19 Some parents make their reward a monetary payment, while others choose to reward with certain privileges, such as extra television viewing time.Children need to be taught that there are punishments for their actions in case of not doing their assigned chores. Decide and agree from the start what the punishment will be.Teaching your children the importance of contributing to the family is of great importance. 20 By taking this step, you have done a wonderful thing for your children by providing them with life skills they can take with them into society.A.A chore is a specific task a child has been assigned which helps improve the life of the entire family.B.And what punishment they will receive if a chore isn’t done.C.Actually you are taking a critical step in empowering them for their future.D.Start by teaching children the difference between a chore and cleaning up after themselves.E.Teach children the importance of each assignment, and why it matters.F.Children will not be rewarded at all for merely cleaning up.G.And if so, what the reward will be for a job well done.三、完形填空During my stay at the University of Michigan, one of the senior professors asked me tolooked down in 25 , and thought that “expert” was a big word.When I lived in North Carolina, my new friends came over to 26 .

Which would you prefer?M: The size doesn’t matter. But I want something special. Do you have one in the shape of a rose?Text 6M: Oh, look at those earrings, Maria. They’re perfect for you.W: These red ones? Red isn’t a good color for me.M: No, ⑥the yellow ones.W: ⑥Oh, these?

It didn’t pick up the dirt.W: Worse! It spread dirt around the room instead of picking it up.M: Did you have your robot help?W: Of course. ⑨It helped me clean the outside windows.M: That’s really amazing!Text 8M: Hi, Cathy. How are you doing?W: I’m well, thanks Paul. How are you?M: I’m fine. (10)I’m just calling to get some directions from the airport for when I e to meet you next week.W: OK, well …when you arrive, there is a taxi stand straight outside. It is probably your best choice in terms of getting to my office from the airport. There is a bus as well which costs you only $5.M: OK, (11)but you’d remend a taxi, would you?W: (11)Yeah.M: (11)OK, and how much do you think that would cost?W: About $20. And it should take you more than 30 minutes to get to the office. M: (12)So I will have plenty of time to make our three o’clock meeting, then. W: Oh, yes.M: Great! Thanks very much. Bye!W: No worries. Look forward to seeing you.Text 9W: When are you going to Europe? Next week?M: Yes. (13)I’m leaving Los Angeles on Monday.

So how will you go back to LA from Paris?M: I’m going back to London on the train first. Then I’m flying home on Saturday afternoon.W: OK.M: I’m arriving in LA at midnight.W: So is it a non-stop flight between LA and London?M: No, I’m not flying direct. I’m by way of LA, New York, and London. Then, (16)on the flight home, I’m changing in Chicago.Text 10M: Hi, my name’s Sam Conti and my job is making and selling chocolate. People often ask how I got into this business. Well, my parents wanted me to study medicine or economics at university, (17)but at the time I thought law might open more doors, so that’s what I did. But life doesn’t always work out the way you plan it. After college, I spent one year in South America, where I fell in love with growing cocoa beans. It is not an easy job, because cocoa beans can be easily affected by weather—much more than other fruit like apples or bananas. (18)In fact, the beans are more like grapes, so each year’s crop is of a different quality.When I came home, I decided to open a small shop making and selling my own chocolate. That was hard work I can tell you, because so much can go wrong with chocolate. (19)The hardest bit is melting it in the right way, but cooling it correctly isn’t easy either. To learn the trade, I set about testing all the chocolate I could find.(20)Another thing I like to do is write up my experiments. I keep a diary for this. It’s the key to my success.。

As she once said to herself: "I would never sit back in a rocking chair, waiting for someone to help me”. No one could have had a more active old age.She was born on a farm in New York State, one of five boys and five girls. At 12 she left home and was in domestic service until at 27 she married Thomas Moses, the hired hand of one of her employers. They farmed most of their lives, first in Virginia and then in New York State, at Eagle Bridge. She had ten children, of whom five survived; her husband died in 1927.Grandma Moses painted a little as a child and made embroidery (刺绣)pictures as a hobby, but only changed to oils in old age because her hands became too stiff (僵硬的)to sew and she still wanted to keep busy and pass the time. Her pictures were first sold at the local drugstore and at a market and were soon noticed by a businessman who bought all that she painted. Three of the pictures were exhibited in the Museum of Modem Art, and in 1940 she had her first exhibition in New York. Between the 1930's and her death, she produced some 2,000 pictures: careful and lively portrayals of the country life she had known for so long, with a wonderful sense of color and form. "I think really hard till I think of something really pretty, and then I paint it" she said.24. What can we learn about Moses?A. She still led an active life when she was old.B. She stopped painting in her late seventies.C. Her marriage life was not happy.D. She painted oils as a child.25. What did Grandma Moses spend most of her life doing?A. Embroidering.B. Nursing.C. Farming.D. Painting.26. What does the underlined word "portrayals "in last paragraph mean?A. directions.B. stages.C. surveys.D. descriptions.27. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. Grandma Moses: The Best Woman PainterB. Grandma Moses: A Famous Woman Painter of 20th CenturyC. Grandma Moses and Her ExhibitionD. Grandma Moses and Her Farm LifeCScientists in England are using two self-directed water vehicles to explore the animal and plant life of the Celtic Sea.The Celtic Sea is a body of water off the southern coast of Ireland. The area is known for its unusual sea life. Scientists want to know why sea creatures are so attracted to this part of the Atlantic Ocean.One of the research vehicles is powered by batteries (电池).It collects information for the NationalOceanography Center in Southampton, England, and the World Wildlife Fund. The vehicle's low energy requirements permit it to stay floating on water for up to 30 days. Reports of what it finds in the Celtic Sea are sent by satellite.Stephen Woodward is an engineer who helped design the vehicle. He says the vehicle has equipment that can discover small organisms called zooplankton (浮游动物)and fish. He adds that other sensing equipment measures water currents and other features of sea life. The vehicle also creates a map of the sea.Another vehicle is powered by the sun and the wind. It can stay floating on water for months. The robotic vehicle sends information about the so-called biodiversity hotspots. A biodiversity hotspot is an area of an ocean that has a lot of plant and animal life activities.Lavinia Suberg is one of the scientists studying the Celtic Sea. She says productive ocean areas, like the Celtic Sea, attract zooplankton. The zooplankton then attracts fish. She adds that areas with a large increase of fish often attract sea mammals and birds.Using these robotic ocean vehicles greatly reduces the cost of exploring the sea with manned laboratories. Scientists can spend more time analyzing the collected information. They say the research will give them a better understanding of the needs of the Celtic Sea for future management and protection.28. Why do the British scientists explore the Celtic Sea?A. To learn why the sea is rich in sea life.B. B. To study the geography of the sea..C. To test their self-directed water vehicles.D. To learn about the sea creatures in the sea.29. According to the text, the water vehicles.A. are controlled directly by humansB. work depending on the map of the seaC. can send the information back directlyD. can keep floating on water for a long time30. According to Lavinia Suberg, the sea mammals and birdsA. are afraid of living aloneB. mainly feed on zooplanktonC. are especially interested in fishD. like to live in warm ocean areas31.What is the last paragraph mainly about?A. The aim of sea exploration.B. The importance of the water vehicles.C. The cost of exploring the sea.D. Ways to deal withthe collected information.D“The Man with the Golden Arm" may sound like the name of some superhero in a comic book. But this name belongs to 78-year-old James Harrison — an Australian man who has donated blood almost every week, saving more than 2 million babies in the process.Harrison told CNN, an American channel, about why he chooses to donate, even though it's not the mostpleasurable experience: "Never once have I watched the needle go in my arm. I can't stand the sight of blood, and I can't stand pain.”An amazingly unique antibody (抗体)in Harrison's blood makes it a true lifesaver for babies who could be affected by rhesus disease.The condition occurs during some pregnancies, when a woman who has rhesus-negative blood produces antibodies that destroy her babies' cells. This can happen when the baby has the same rhesus-positive blood as the father. Rhesus disease can cause health issues in babies. It can even result in death.Harrison, blood helped physicians develop an injection called Anti-D in the 1960s, which prevents women who have rhesus-negative blood from developing the harmful antibodies while pregnant. After Harrison completes one of his routine donations, his blood can be used to create more vaccines (疫苗).“I started donating in 1955, two days after I turned 18," Harri son said when he completed his 1,075th donation. As CNN reported, every Anti-D vaccine created in Australia has something to do with a donation from Harrison, who holds the record for most blood donations in Australia.“A number of mothers have come up to me and said, "Thank you very much for what you've done, because I now have one, two, three healthy children', " Harrison said.Harrison's own daughter, Tracey Mellowship, had been one of the 17 percent of women who need Anti-D during their pregnancy. The injection helped guarantee her second son would be born healthy.“Dad had always donated —we knew that,“ Mellowship said. "But it didn't hit home until I was pregnant and knew the consequences.32. From the first two paragraphs, what can we infer about Harrison?A. He is humorous and smart.B. He is friendly but nervous.C. He is brave and unselfish.D. He is optimistic but weak.33. What can we learn about the babies affected by rhesus disease?A. They have the same blood type as their mothers.B. They develop the disease after being born.C. They can't form Wood themselves.D. They grow problematic cells.34. Harrison's blood can.A. help patients develop Anti-DB. cure rhesus disease affected babiesC. help avoid the risk of rhesus diseaseD. stop babies from producing antibodies35. Before Mellowship was injected Anti-D, her family didn'tA. know Harrison held a record for donating bloodB. expect she would have another healthy sonC. realize the high rate of potential rhesus diseaseD. understand the meaning of Harrison's act 第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

We were driving to Niagara and sort of got lost. But we had a map and we thought if we followed ro ad signs, we’d find our way eventually. But the fog settled in,and we couldn’t see anything. And we began to get scared that we’d be taking ourselves further and further out of our way. So we started driving slowly down the road —we didn’t know if we wer e on the road or off. That was another frightening thing.After a little while, we finally see this set of taillights in front of us, and we just thought: “Maybe they’re local, we’ll follow them.” So we followed them all the way. Finally, they came to a co mplete stop, and they didn’t seem to be moving. So I got out of my car and yelled, “Do you want to tell me why you’ve just come to a dead stop?” And the driver of the other car said, “Do you want to tell me what you’re doing at my garage?”。
