湖南省湖南师范大学附属中学2024-2025学年高三上学期第二次月考英语试题
湖南省湖南师范大学附属中学2024-2025学年高三上学期第二次月考英语试题一、阅读理解The Virgin Islands National Park is a tropical (热带的) paradise on the island of St. John,which covers more than half of the small island.It is surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean to the north and the Caribbean Sea to the south,where the climate is warm all year.The island's white sand beaches and clear blue seas are considered to be among the most beautiful in the Caribbean,gaining reputation and popularity among visitors across the world.How the national park was formedLaurence Rockefeller was an American millionaire,businessman and conservationist.He visited St.John in the 1950s. He quickly fell in love with the island's clean, pure beauty.He first purchased a small resort there, Caneel Bay. He also purchased more than 2,000 hectares of the island and donated it to the government.That donation created the U.S.Virgin Islands National Park.It was officially opened as a national park on December 1, 1956.How to get to the parkThe only way to reach the park is by boat. Some people arrive on their own sailboats. Others come in on large cruise ships.Visitors also arrive on water taxis from the island of St. Thomas.What to do at the parkFrom the tropical hills to the blue waters,there are many things to do at the Virgin Islands National Park. Visitors enjoy fishing,camping,sailing,scuba diving, snorkeling (浮潜), and bird watching. Of all of the park's beaches, Trunk Bay Beach is said to be the most striking. Below the clear blue water is a 200-meter snorkeling path. Hawksnest Beach is also a popular place for snorkeling. Near the shore are three small reefs of Elkhorn Coral. The Elkhorn Coral gets its name from its shape. The reef looks similar to the huge horns (角) of an animal called elk. It is a very rare kind of reef.Scientists say it is in danger of becoming extinct.The Virgin Islands National Park is often called America's paradise. It protects St. John's pristine nature, and preserves the record of human history in the Caribbean.Don't hesitate! Come here and put yourself in the paradise!1．What is most likely attractive to tourists when they visit the Virgin Islands National Park?A．Its tropical climate.B．Its location.C．Its beautiful scenery.D．Its activity.2．What can we learn about the Virgin Islands National Park?A．An animal called elk is at risk of becoming dying out.B．Visitors can choose any means of transportation to get to the park.C．Laurence's donation greatly contributed to the foundation of the park.D．There is a 200-meter snorkeling path beneath the water of the Hawksnest Beach. 3．Where is the text probably taken from?A．A speech script.B．A travel brochure.C．An academic essay.D．A geographic journal.Boeing’s Starliner spacecraft landed in a New Mexico desert late on Friday,months after its original departure date and without the two astronauts it carried when it launched in early June.The Nasa astronauts Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore should have flown the Starliner back to Earth in June, a week after launching in it.But thruster (推进器) failures and helium (氦气) leaks marred their ride. Instead, they will remain at the International Space Station (ISS) for the rest of the year and will return in February aboard the SpaceX Dragon spacecraft.Nasa ultimately decided it was too risky to return Williams and Wilmore on the Starliner. So the capsule contains their empty seats and blue spacesuits along with some old station equipment.After Nasa’s space shuttles were retired more than a decade ago, Nasa hired Boeing and SpaceX for orbital (轨道的) taxi service. Boeing ran into so many problems on its first test flight with no one onboard in 2019 that it had to repeat it. The 2022 do-over uncovered even more flaws and the repair bill topped $1.5bn.The Starliner finally blasted into space on 5 June from Florida’s Cape Canaveral Space Force Station after unsuccessful launches on 6 May and 1 June. On the first launch attempt,a problem was found with a valve (阀门) on the second stage,or upper portion, of the rocket. On the second,a computer tripped an automatic hold just three minutes and 50 seconds from liftoff. Thatwas later attributed to a single ground power supply fault within one of the launch control computers.Even after it successfully launched,helium leaks continued to trouble the spacecraft. As the Starliner approached the ISS, two leaks were detected but Nasa determined the spacecraft remained stable. What started as an eight-day mission dragged on for three months after the leaks and faulty thrusters raised safety concerns.However, Nasa and Boeing officials insisted that the astronauts were not trapped and that the technical difficulties did not threaten the mission. “We’ll come home when we’re ready,” Steve Stich, Nasa’s commercial crew program manager, said in the press conference in July.4．What does the underlined word “marred” in paragraph 2 mean?A．Underwent.B．Stimulated.C．Facilitated.D．Blocked.5．What do we know about Boeing’s spacecraft launches?A．They were filled with delays and setbacks.B．Starliner’s initial launch went smoothly.C．The 2019 manned spaceflight was a failure D．Reasons of the problems were still unidentified.6．Why didn’t the two astronauts come back to Earth on time?A．Because the project went over the original budget.B．Because they were both in serious health conditions.C．Because it was dangerous to take the Starliner then.D．Because Nasa officials failed to reach an agreement.7．What can be implied according to the last two paragraphs?A．The two astronauts would come back soon.B．Officials considered the situation within control.C．Nasa officials were pessimistic and pressed.D．The mission would be completed in 3 months.Actor Alicia Silverstone worried fans on social media recently. While on a trip to England, she posted a TikTok video of herself tasting a kind of poisonous berries she found along a sidewalk. Silverstone, who appeared in the 1995 movie Clueless, said she thought the fruit was atomato. But when she bit into it and found that it had an unusual taste, she realized that it was not the common food.Plant expert, Jessica Damiano, recently wrote about poisonous plants that look like common foods for the Associated Press. She said the fruit that looked like a tomato appears to have been a Jerusalem cherry.Often sold as a houseplant, all parts of the Jerusalem cherry are poisonous.The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals says the plant is not only harmful to humans but also to dogs, cats and horses.Eating large amounts can be deadly. Silverstone was lucky because she did not swallow the berries. She was also lucky because the berries were reddish orange, which meant they were ripe. While all parts of the Jerusalem cherry are poisonous, the plant’s unripe berries can be especially dangerous.They can cause problems with the central nervous and gastrointestinal (肠胃的) systems.The Jerusalem cherry is not the only toxic plant that looks like a safe one.The poisonous Carolina horsenettle fruit also looks like a tomato. It is also known as devil’s potato to add to the confusion.The Virginia creeper fruit also looks like blueberries, and it can be deadly if eaten.Wild parsnip has flowers like a carrot and leaves like parsley (欧芹). Simply touching it can cause a skin problem. Creeping buttercup looks like flat-leaf parsley. It can cause severe stomach pain,vomiting (呕吐) and heart problems. And Canadian moonseed can be confused with wild grape. However, its taste is so bitter that you would likely spit it out before swallowing it. This is a good thing because eating it can lead to death.If you think you have swallowed a toxic plant by mistake, contact a poison control center in your area or your doctor immediately. There is additional information on the website .Damiano advises using common sense with plants you find in the wild. If you are not completely sure that something is food, do not eat it.8．What is the purpose of the first paragraph?A．To present the author’s argument.B．To introduce the topic of the article.C．To raise the public’s attention of wild plants.D．To popularize the knowledge of medical science.9．Why was Silverstone thought to be fortunate?A．The berries she had a bite were ripe.B．She found the fruit she ate was a tomato.C．She had a good knowledge of wild plants.D．The amount of the berries she consumed was large.10．According to the description,what plants can be most harmful to people?A．Carolina horsenettle and wild parsnip.B．Virginia creeper and creeping buttercup.C．Wild parsnip and Canadian moonseed.D．Canadian moonseed and Virginia creeper.11．What may be the suitable measure if someone mistakenly swallows a poisonous plant?A．Spitting it out as quickly as possible.B．Making an appointment with their doctor.C．Getting in touch with the local authority instantly.D．Searching for the relevant information on the Internet.Superhuman artificial intelligence has played a role in our life. When it comes to playing games like chess, or solving difficult scientific challenges like predicting protein structures, computers are well ahead of humans. But we have one superpower they aren’t close to mastering: mind reading.We are blessed with a mysterious ability to reason the goals, desires and beliefs of others, a crucial skill that means we can anticipate other people’s actions and the consequences of our own. If AIs are to become truly useful in everyday life — to cooperate effectively with us or to understand that a child might run into the road after a bouncing ball — we have to give them this gift that evolution has given us to read other people's minds.In psychology, the ability to infer another’s mental state is referred to as theory of mind. In humans, this capacity develops at a very young age. How to reproduce the capability in machines is far from clear, though. One of the main challenges is context. For instance, if someone asks whether you are going for a run and you reply “it’s raining”, they can quickly conclude the answer is no. But this requires huge amounts of background knowledge about running, weather and human preferences.Besides, whether humans or AI, the theory of mind is supposed to emerge naturally from one’s own learning process. Building prior knowledge into AI makes it reliant on our imperfect understanding of theory of mind. In addition, AI may be capable of developing approaches we could never imagine. There can be many forms of theory of mind that we don’t know about simply because we live in a human body that has certain types of senses and a certain ability to think.But we might still want AI to have a more human-like form of theory of mind. Humans can clearly explain their goals to each other using common language and ideas. While letting AI form the theory of mind in their learning process is likely to lead to developing more powerful AI, plainly building in shared ways to represent knowledge may be crucial for humans to trust and communicate with AI.It is important to remember, though, that the pursuit of machines with theory of mind is about more than just building more useful robots. It is also a stepping stone on the path towards a deeper goal for AI and robotics research: building truly self-aware machines. Whether we will ever get there remains to be seen. But along the way thinking about other people and other agents, we are on the path to learning to think about ourselves.12．According to the passage,which of the following contexts can AI understand well?A．When asked where an object is, a naughty kid points in the wrong direction.B．When a teacher asks for a boy’s homework, he answers “my dog ate it” .C．When you are treated with a hotpot for dinner, you reply “a sore throat” .D．When a mom tells her kid milk is good for health, the kid drinks it up.13．Which statement will the author agree with most about theory of mind?A．Humans’ theory of mind is far from perfect.B．Humans limit AI’s theory of mind to an extent.C．AI’s theory of mind development has been totally decoded.D．Shared forms of theory of mind result in more powerful AI.14．What is the author’s attitude toward truly self-aware machines?A．Ambiguous B．Conservative.C．Skeptical.D．Approving.15．Which would be the best title for the passage?A．AI’s Theory of Mind Will Define Our FutureB．AI with Its Own Theory of Mind Is ExpectedC．AI’s Theory of Mind — a Blessing or Suffering to HumansD．Theory of Mind Bridges the Gap Between Humans and AIEnsuring that your home is as energy-efficient as it can possibly be is essential. Take the steps listed below,and you'll be living in an energy-efficient home in no time.16 To stop it in its tracks,you must invest in having your house insulated (隔热的). Taking such action may demand some cost in advance, but it will be sure to save you over f100 a year when it comes to your energy bills.The old boilers (锅炉) are not as energy-efficient as the very latest models in this field.17 By investing in a top of the line boiler, you'll no doubt tap into a number of savings. What's more,making this kind of investment will also be sure to lower your home's carbon emissions.Only when you know how much energy you use can you take action to be less wasteful and more resourceful in this instance. 18 To assist you in taking on this extremely important challenge, you might want to consider fitting an energy monitor in your home. 19 But if you're lucky,your electricity provider will give you one for free.This monitor will provide you and your family with constant updates on the amount of energy you are using on a day-to-day basis.With just a few years to go until climate change alters earth forever, now is the time for you to play your part in protecting the planet that you live in. 20A．Generally, this type of device will cost between f25 and f40.B．It means you should try to keep track of energy consumption.C．The investment demanded in this case is of great significance.D．By putting the above advice into practice,you'll be green soon.E．Taking such action will help you adjust to climate change better.F．Most of your home's wasted energy will escape through your roof.G．It might be high time to update yours if you haven't done so for years二、完形填空Not long into my career in journalism,I realized I was in need of some slow, 21 adventure.The kind of fun that required little planning,zero stress and a lot of time. The kind of time you often didn't get in a 22 .And that's when I 23 a secret.Washington,D．C．,the city where I live,is full of hidden fossils.In my overstimulated life,I began to 24 fossils.Many of the local sites are within 80 miles south of the capital along the Potomac River,so fossil hunting 25 removes me from the city.It is a visual game,requiring 26 and focus. Spotting recognizable shapes in the wild is like thinking over a broken 27 in the sediment(沉积物).Is it a tooth,a bone or a shell?I'm looking for the 28 end pieces.Thankfully,my 29 phone service in these places holds back the rest of the world while I'm finding another one.And I know the fossils aren't demanding my 30 attention because they have nothing but time.Once,I took a bottle-cap-sized trilobite(三叶虫)fossil into the newsroom and placed it within my sight.It was something I wanted to 31 throughout the day. Turning over that piece of rock is a way to 32 me outside for a moment and to a time before humans arrived and 33 cities on top of those lands.Thinking about geological time makes me feel brief and remarkable,like the little trilobite.My worried mind 34 .I realize a lot of stressful details don't matter.My 35 shifts.Maybe I don't need to take that phone call right this minute. 21．A．dangerous B．low-risk C．historical D．romantic 22．A．house B．car C．newsroom D．school 23．A．revealed B．hid C．guarded D．discovered 24．A．seek B．search C．purchase D．modify 25．A．gradually B．physically C．eventually D．typically 26．A．patience B．strength C．training D．courage 27．A．dream B．image C．resource D．puzzle 28．A．obvious B．expensive C．rare D．impressive 29．A．precious B．conventional C．poor D．clear 30．A．scholarly B．public C．extra D．immediate31．A．avoid B．notice C．introduce D．display 32．A．touch B．hold C．seize D．transport 33．A．built B．explored C．conquered D．found 34．A．takes off B．settles down C．goes blank D．runs out 35．A．standpoint B．question C．standard D．task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。

湖南省湖南师范大学附属中学2023-2024学年高三上学期月考(二)英语试题
湖南省湖南师范大学附属中学2023-2024学年高三上学期月考（二）英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解Top Chinese Restaurants in the Greater Seattle AreaDumpling GenerationAs the name implies, baskets of steamed dumplings are the move here. The wrappers are hand-rolled—not too thin or thick—and the fillings are savory and juicy. Ifyou prefer a strong taste, get the dumplings that include Chinese chives (韭菜), which have large, flat leaves that aren’t afraid to announce their presence.Xi’an NoodlesBiang biang noodles take their name from the satisfying sound you hear when chefs slap dough (面团) on the counter. The impact creates the specialty noodles of the northwest Chinese city of Xi’an. These chewy, hand-ripped noodles center in most dishes on the menu. Order them as a soup,or as a bowl tossed with spicy cumin (孜然) lamb or just some chili hot oil.Friendship BBQThe Northeastern-Chinese-style grilled baroque restaurant is actually the Seattle branch of a New York-based chain. Meats and seafood come coated in a cumin-forward seasoning with your choice of spice level. Don’t miss the side dishes, including the garlic eggplant, which is roasted until the flesh is covered with a garlic sauce. Despite its authentic taste, you’ll constantly be wowed by its cool new recipes. That’s probably what sets it apart in the Chinese food scene.Imperial GardenThe dim sum menu contains all the favorites and any extras make great takeaway. But Imperial Garden’s star remains the Peking Roast Duck—shaved pieces of meat topped with long narrow pieces of shiny duck skin,served with steamed pancakes. While the restaurant uses white tablecloths and is spacious enough to accommodate large banquets, the vibe (氛围) isn’t formal.1．What do Dumpling Generation and Xi’an Noodles have in common?A．Steamed foods.B．Plain taste.C．Handmade dishes.D．Northwestern origin.2．How is Friendship BBQ different from other Chinese restaurants?A．It’s not locally owned.B．It has innovative spirit.C．It features roasted dishes.D．It has casual atmosphere.3．If you plan to organize a grand family gathering, which is the most suitable place?A．Imperial Garden.B．Dumpling Generation.C．Friendship BBQ.D．Xi’an Noodles.Located among the forests where eagles fly overhead, Jabal Sawda has long been one of Saudi Arabia’s best places for mountaineers. At 2,999m, Jabal Sawda had been considered the kingdom’s highest peak until twin mountaineers, Matthew and Eric Gilbertson, climbed it in 2018, finding it to be about three meters shy of Jabal Ferwa.For more than a decade, the twins have traveled to one country after another around the world, rewriting the mountain record books about places across the Middle East and West Africa. So far they have reached the peaks of more than 100 countries and newly identified the highest points in Togo, Guinea-Bissau and Ivory Coast.Matthew, a research scientist at Lockheed Martin in Palo Alto, California, and Eric, an instructor in mechanical engineering at Seattle University, said their work was motivated by a love for mountaineering. “If we’re going to go through all the effort to visit a country and visit the highest mountain, we want to be sure that we have indeed visited the highest mountain,” Matthew said. “We consider it assistance to future mountaineers to have an accurate survey done so that they can focus their efforts on getting to whichever peak they want to get to.”The twins’ love of mountaineering began when they were children with family trips to the Great Smoky Mountains in the southeastern United States. When they were students at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology(MIT), they started climbing as many mountains as possible. In 2012, after achieving their goal of reaching the highest point of each US state, they turned their attention to the rest of the world.4．What can we learn about Jabal Sawda?A．It’s Saudi Arabia’s best scenic spot.B．It’s lower than Jabal Ferwa.C．It’s Saudi Arabia’s highest peak.D．It’s better-known than Jabal Ferwa. 5．Why have the twins traveled to different countries in the past decade?A．To write books about mountains.B．To rename the peaks of mountains.C．To identify the highest mountains.D．To challenge other mountaineers. 6．What do Matthew’s words concerning their work imply in paragraph 3?A．It satisfies their curiosity.B．It strengthens their motivation.C．It attracts more mountaineers.D．It guarantees informed choices. 7．Which of the following best describes the twins?A．Ambitious but impractical.B．Determined and adventurous.C．Intelligent and unselfish.D．Peace-loving and eco-friendly.There seems to be a lot of talk these days about what is fair, and what is not. Most people tend to believe life should be fair. Some of the 99% seem to believe life has somehow treated them unfairly, and some of the 1% feel life hasn’t treated them fairly enough. My questions are these: What is fairness? Is life fair? Should life be fair?We clearly have no choice about how we come into this world. We have little choice early in life. But as we grow older, choices abound. I have long believed that while we have no control over the beginning of our life, the majority of us have the ability to influence the outcomes we attain. Fairness is a state of mind, and most often, an unhealthy state of mind. Our state in life cannot, or at least should not, be blamed on our parents, our teachers, or our society—it’s largely based on the choices we make, and the attitudes we adopt.Life is full of examples of the uneducated, the mentally and physically challenged people born into war-torn areas, who could have complained about life being unfair, but who instead chose a different path. Regardless of the challenges they faced, they had the character to choose contribution over complaint.I agree that challenges exist. I agree that many have an uphill battle due to these verity of the challenges they face. What I disagree with is the attempt to use fairness to solve all problems in the world. Rules and orders don’t create fairness, but people’s desire and determination can work around most life challenges.It doesn’t matter whether you are born with a silver spoon, plastic spoon, or no spoon at all. A friend of mine came to this country from Africa in his late teens, barely spoke the language, drove a cab while working his way through college, and is now the president of a technology services firm.

But these had surprisingly little effect on the economy. During that decade productivity growth in the developed countries averaged a miserable (少得可怜的) 1% a year, holding down average wages. Innovative firms embraced new tech, but many less adventurous ones did not bother. The experience showed that technological breakthroughs and improvements in average living standards do not always go hand in hand.Generative AI, its developers say, will be different. Not since the invention of the internet has a new technology so captured the public imagination. The technology is consumer-friendly: within days of its release to the public, Chat GPT, the most famous AI chat bot, had millions of users. It is easy to see how this innovation could improve all types ofwork at all types of firms, from increasing the accuracy of doctors’ diagnoses to helping programmers write software code more efficiently.With that said, for AI to truly spread out in the economy, it needs to make its mark beyond the most innovative companies. And this will take time. Although the internet began to be used by some companies in the early 1990s, it was not until the late 2000s that two-thirds of American businesses had a website. About 70 world’s largest firms still show no interest in AI, according to our analysis. Some evidence even suggests that usage of Chat GPT and its competitors is falling — perhaps as people have tried it out, and then decided it is not for them.Indeed, even the most powerful technologies take time to be adopted, because companies tend to use a mix of software and services, some of which may be years or even decades old. Replacing outdated systems can be costly and complicated. Moreover, in the many industries either run or heavily regulated by the government, such as healthcare, education and construction, bosses and trade unions often resist the application of new technology, worried that it will lead to job losses. In time AI could well transform how people live their lives and do their jobs. But the road to widespread usage, and any resulting productivity boom, will be a long one.12．What is paragraph 1 mainly about?A．How productivity affects average wages.B．Why the 2010s is a productive decade.C．Whether economic growth follows new technologies.D．What innovative companies care for.13．What does the author want to indicate by mentioning Chat GPT in paragraph 2?A．AI’s public imagination.B．Consumers’ enthusiasm.C．AI’s healthy profits.D．AI’s huge potential.14．What can be inferred from paragraph 3?A．Big firms are less motivated to adopt new tech.B．More efforts are needed to advocate AI.C．Chat GPT is falling behind its competitors.D．Websites were uncommon in the early 2000s.15．Which word best describes the author’s attitude towards the future of AI?A．Hopeful.B．Worried.C．Cautious.D．Pessimistic.二、七选五Perseverance isn’t easy. But before you blame your lack of willpower, consider this: Building mental strength is similar to building physical strength. In just a few minutes each day, you can train your brain to think differently, manage your emotions, and behave productively. 1617 Think about three things you are grateful for in your life. It could be as simple as the clean water that you drink. Write in a gratitude journal, list the things you feel grateful for over dinner, or make it a habit to find what you’re thankful for before you go to bed. Over time, being grateful becomes a second nature.It’s impossible to stay strong when you’re thinking about something that happened last week or horrible things going to happen tomorrow. 18 It’s therefore of great significance to be able to concentrate on the present. With regular practice, you’ll increase the ability to focus.It can be tempting to wait until you feel ready to make a change. But waiting until you feel good about yourself before you take action could backfire. Instead, when you change your behavior, your thoughts and your emotions will follow. So when you’re sad, put your shoulders back and smile, and you’ll feel better. 19Every day is a chance to develop some mental strength. Simple, short exercises performed over time will help you build mental strength. 20 Feeling sorry for yourself and giving up after your first failure are just a few of the bad habits that could discourage you from building your mental strength.A．The only time you can make changes is right now.B．With regular exercise, you’ll build your mental strength.C．You can stay away from the bad habits by regular training.D．Mental strength has a lot in common with physical strength.E．You can physically change your brain by making gratitude a habit.F．Pay attention to the bad habits that keep you out of mental strength.G．Always remember feelings of confidence won’t come out of nowhere.三、完形填空Back in the days when I was just a young student, I was always absent from schoolgradually accept the challenges thrown at me.One rainy afternoon, while walking home from school, an accident happened.
