While she expected a lot of colors underwater as she had seen on TV, Vidhi came across all white corals (珊瑚), which means they are almost dead from being bleached (褪色).“It was very sad and I just started crying after coming out of the water,” she says.Vidhi, an economics graduate from Ashoka University, did not enjoy working with numbers and turned to writing about social issues, including women’s rights and minority issues.As an adventure lover, Vidhi went diving to explore the underwater beauty last year. Her disappointment at seeing dying corals led to the start of Coral Warriors, anon-profit organization that aims to raise awareness of marine protection and climate change.“Nobody knows about climate change till they see it,” Vidhi says. The Mumbai-based organisation offers India’s first and only diving grant. The grant sponsors level-one scuba diving education in any location of their choice in India. While there is no specific standard, Vidhi says the selection process is strict, choosing candidates who are passionate about climate change and seeing that they do something of their choice. Four candidates have been awarded the grant so far and the organisation hopes to find at least five people every year.“After the candidates return, we expect them to work on a climate change project of their choice, create communities, and work to create awareness and drive action-centric projects,” she explains. Prior to starting coral warriors, Vidhi was hosting free online workshops to spread awareness of marine biodiversity and climate change, and has reached about 5, 000 people through them.As a next step, Vidhi is planning to work on documentaries with high-quality underwater images and videos, considering not many can afford or have the courage to go diving to see what is happening underwater.4. How did Vidhi feel on her first diving?A.Excited. B.Upset. C.Awesome. D.Awkward.5. Why did Vidhi set up Coral Warriors?A.To focus more attention on social issues.B.To further explore the underwater beauty.C.To fuel people’s enthusiasm for adventure.D.To make an appeal for marine conservation.6. What are candidates expected to do?A.To help promote people’s sense of community.B.To choose whatever they are passionate about.C.To meet specific and strict selection standards.D.To undertake activities relevant to climate change.7. What will Vidhi do to protect marine biodiversity?A.Ahoot documentaries. B.Tackle climate change.C.Encourage people to dive. D.Host free online workshops.Humans feed thousands of songs to AI (人工智能). And it is able to analyse the basic information and recognize patterns that can be used to create original music. Such AI-created music is similar to those that any musician might compose.Recently, an AI-powered system, the Flow Machines, has released a song Daddy’s Car. This system is able to analyse the composers’ original ideas and come up with more ideas to assist them in composing. The system tries to combine the human mind with AI.Another great invention is Jukedeck, which works very easily. In order to create a new piece, the user just needs to select items like the desired music style (folk, rock, etc.) and the mood (sad or happy). After a few seconds, AI provides a piece of music for the user to download. Each user can create music tailored to his or her interest.Some musicians use AI to achieve what they could not do on their own. For example, Yacht, an American pop group, has used AI to break out of their comfort zone and try to create something different from their previous songs. Soon they have their new album, which contains 10 songs, all of which are very popular.The development of AI technology also comes with some concerns. Some human composers fear that their work might be replaced by a machine. Some others are worried about music itself and the music industry, as AI is now able to create music more and more similar to human-composed music. Faced with this challenge, on one hand, human musicians need to remain creative; on the other hand, they should understand how to use these new tools to explore new frontiers. Perhaps the future role of the human musicians will be to focus on emotions, leaving the machines to take care of other procedures.8. What is the new development about AI in the text?A.Its progress in replacing humans. B.Its ability in music composing.C.Its influence on human emotions. D.Its focus on changing human mind.9. Why could Yacht create the popular new album?A.Because they stuck to their former music style.B.Because they went beyond themselves with AI.C.Because they put in more than ten original songs.D.Because they insisted on composing by themselves.10. What is the last paragraph mainly about?A.Problems about AI composing. B.Limitations of AI technology.C.Challenges for human composers. D.Suggestions to human musicians.11. Which word best describes the author’s attitude toward AI technology?A.Objective. B.Doubtful. C.Uncaring D.Confused.A small robot that can change its shape and produce heat shows potential in targeting cancer cells and preventing internal bleeding. It can also be used for delivering drugs directly to tumors (肿瘤) or inaccessible areas within the human body.Researchers, led by Ren Hao Soon at the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems in Stuttgart, Germany, developed a centimeter-sized robot inspired by pangolins (穿山甲). It is constructed with soft and magnetic (磁性的) materials, allowing the robot to change its shape.To enable movement, shape shifting, and heat generation, the researchers applied magnetic fields to the robot’s metal parts. By adjusting the frequency of these fields, the robot was able to heat up and give out heat into its surroundings. The team observed that the robot’s body temperature could be over 70℃.In addi tion, the researchers used the robot’s heat to deliver substances within a simulated (模拟的) stomach environment. They attached something simulating medicine capsules onto the robot, which dissolved upon heating, thereby releasing the goods. This technique holds promise for targeted drug delivery inside the body.Soon, his team also tested the robot’s ability to halt bleeding. They created wounds using a dead pig’s stomach. By pumping blood through a small incision using a syringe, they simulated bleeding. Subsequently, the robot extended and covered the area, giving out heat to help stop bleeding. According to Jake Abbott from the University of Utah, the robot could potentially be employed for targeted destruction of tumor cells, reducing the need for exposing large amounts of tissue to radiation or chemicals. By raising the robot’s temperature to a level unsafe for normal cells and keeping it in place for a few minutes, cancer cells can be killed. Abbott emphasizes the high temperature sensitivity of the human body.12. What can we infer about the small robot?A.It has been put into use.B.It is mainly used to deliver goods.C.It draws inspiration from the natural world.D.It can’t be used without adding hard elements.13. How do the researchers make the robot change shape?A.By using heat. B.By using magnets.C.By using radiation. D.By using chemicals.14. What does the underlined word “halt” in paragraph 5 mean?A.Stop. B.Challenge. C.Evaluate. D.Explore.15. Which can be the best title for the text?A.A Tiny Robot Will Be Used In MedicineB.Scientists Will Make Robots Give Out HeatC.A Small Robot Was Made To Deliver GoodsD.Doctors Have Used Tiny Robots To Cure TumorsField trips have now become a popular and well-established method of education. A field trip is a journey organized by schools or educational institutions to a place outside of the classroom. 16 Therefore, the activities during a field trip are often designed to provide them with hands-on experiences.Field trips can be taken to a variety of destinations. The most popular ones include museums, factories, zoos and botanical gardens. Field trips can also involve visits to historical sites and other places of interest. Sometimes even an outing to a park nearby can make a good field trip. 17Field trips help improve academic performance. Participants in a field trip are engaged in various activities about a subject matter. 18 They could also pick up new knowledge through observation and interaction. Studies provide evidence that field trips can increase students’ test scores.19 During a field trip, students are exposed to interactive activities and novel experiences that are not often available in a classroom, which awakens their interest and helps them rediscover the joy in study. This may be particularly important for students who are struggling academically.A field trip can be challenging to organize due to factors such as high costs and safety concerns. 20 Teachers regard this outing as a good way of helping students and developing a good relationship with them. Students, moreover, may remember the experience of the school field trip as a highlight of the school year.On July 20, Yu Yifei, a medical intern (实习生), made his way home in a subway train after his first day’s training. When a downpour struck the city, he ______ about a dozen people trapped in a flooded subway train as the rainfall reached 201.9 millimeters between 4 pm and 5 pm, a totally new ______ in the history of Zhengzhou.Flood ______ through a barrier and entered the underground area.

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。

Who doesn’t long for a favorite Chinese dish? But there is one interesting concept concerning Chinese food which is almost unheard of in the West, and which is becoming increasingly ignored by the youth of the East — the ancient custom of “tonic (滋补) food”.Tonic food is food which is consumed to improve one’s well-being or avoid sickness. For instance, it was once the custom for new mothers to eat a sesame oil (麻油) hot pot every day for the first month after giving birth. It was believed that this dish would benefit the muscles, reduce pain, improve circulation, stimulate sweating, and warm the body. Some foods, such as goat meat and spinach, are seen as “hot”, while others, such as Chinese cabbage and radishes, are seen as “cold”. One should be careful not to eat too much of either “hot” or “cold” food. However, how much “hot” or “cold” food one should eat depends on the time of the year, how the food is prepared and what it is prepared with, and the individual’s health.The custom of employing tonic food for a healthier life also influences the catering industry. Chinese herbal medicines, such as wolfberry (枸杞), can be found on many a restaurant menu, either added to fruit tea or as a beneficial addition to a dish. These herbs attract customers, such as overworked office staff, in need of a modest pick-me-up.So, whether you need to boost your strength with a large helping of chicken soup, or increase your mental powers with a serving of fish soup, you may find that this ancient Chinese custom could be just the tonic you were looking for.4.What is the present situation of tonic food?A.It is catching less attention.B.It is enjoyed by many young people.C.It is well-known worldwide.D.It is becoming increasingly popular.5.What is believed to benefit new mothers?A.Chinese cabbage.B.Fruit tea.C.Fish soup.D.Sesame oil hot pot.6.Which of the following best explains “catering” underlined in Paragraph 3?A.Medicine.B.Restaurant.C.Manufacture.D.Agriculture.7.What can be a suitable title for the text?A.The Charm of Chinese CuisineB.The Popularity of Tonic FoodC.An Introduction of Chinese Tonic FoodD.Differences Between Hot Food and Cold FoodIn 1983, Howard Blatt, an electrical engineer at MIT and a married father, collapsed in his kitchen due to a stroke (中风). This left him with a paralyzed arm and leg and severe aphasia.Aphasia does not affect intellect, so some aphasia sufferers liken it to living in a prison within their own brain; their minds work, yet they are unable to express themselves or understand spoken or written language. The condition can prevent them from speaking, reading, writing or comprehending, sometimes a combination of those, sometimes all of them. At least 2 million people in the U. S. have aphasia, commonly as a result of stroke.Describing his condition, Blatt said: “No talking — zip. Speech — zip. One incident. Changed life.” Blatt adapted to his physical disabilities but never fully recovered. Discovering aid networks for people with aphasia were a rarity in the early 1980s, he co-founded the Aphasia Community Group in 1990 with his wife and others. It’s one of the oldest and largest support groups for aphasia patients and their families, offering services like concerts, book groups, health information, and companionship.Mary Borelli, a stroke survivor, described the group as a lifesaver, providing understanding and a sense of belonging. The group helps break the isolation. Jerry Kaplan, a co-founder and Boston University speech-language pathologist, noted that newcomers often express relief at finding others who share their struggles. Thousands have attended since its founding, finding a safe, comfortable space to connect.Blatt focused on regaining function. He moved from a wheelchair to a leg brace, re-camed his driver’s license, and documented cross-country trips. He also pursued sculpting, house restorations, and created a newsletter called The Aphasia Advocate. Within the Group, he was a role model of adaptability and determination.The Aphasia Community Group, which will celebrate its 35th anniversary next year, remains one of Blatt’s enduring legacies. Kaplan emphasized Blatt’s determination, saying “Though given a tough break in midlife, with young children, at the top of his game in his profession, and his communication gifts were largely wiped out, he did not give in to this for 40-plus years. And not only did he survive; he thrived.”8.What is the second paragraph mainly about?A.The consequences of a stroke.B.The huge aphasia sufferers.C.The causes of a stroke.D.The symptoms of aphasia.9.Why did they set up the Aphasia Community Group?A.To provides companionship for lonely people.B.To address the lack of support for aphasia sufferers.C.To work on a medical cure for aphasia.D.To answer the call of MIT.10.According to the members, what is the significance of the Aphasia Community Group?A.It offers them financial assistance.B.It helps them regain their speech completely.C.It creates a caring community for them.D.It conducts extensive research on their conditions.11.Which saying effectively highlights Howard Blatt’s life story?A.Turn lemons into lemonade.B.Let nature take its course.C.As you sow, so shall you reap.D.Nothing ventured, nothing gained.Do you have a brain for math? New research indicates that levels of two key neurotransmitters (脑神经传递素)—— glutamate (谷氨酸) and gamma-aminobutyric acid(GABA) can predict mathematical abilities, suggesting brain chemistry may be playing a role in those who find math easy.The new study, published in the journal PLOS Biology, recruited 255 subjects (实验对象) extending a range of six- year-olds in primary school to university students. The research focused on glutamate and GABA, known to play a role in brain plasticity and learning. Based on prior research, the focus was on two brain regions linked with mathematical abilities—— the left intraparietal sulcus(IPS 顶叶内沟) and the left middle frontal gyrus (MFG 脑额中回).The results were interestingly different. In the youngest subjects high GABA levels and low glutamate levels in the left IPS were consistently associated with high math skills. But in the older university group the exact opposite was seen: low GABA and high glutamate were linked with strong mathematical abilities. Levels of both neurotransmitters in the MFG did not associate with math skills.The group was tested twice over 18 months, allowing the researchers to see if these neurotransmitter levels could predict mathematical ability into the future. And it worked, with neurotransmitter levels effectively predicting one’s success on math tests completed a year and a half later.Another recent study from the same research team looked specifically at GABA levels in MFG of 14 to 18 year-olds. That research indicated MFG GABA levels could effectively predict whether a student was still studying maths or had stopped that subject years prior.Cohen Kadosh, one of the researchers working on the study, says this may indicate math education can help stimulate the development of key brain regions. Further research will work on whether certain learning interventions (干预) can help those children less interested in math so these brain regions still get the developmental workout they need.“ Not every adolescent enjoys maths so we need to investigate possible alternatives, such as training in logic and reasoning that engage the same brain area as maths.” says Cohen Kadosh. 12.What is the new study aimed at?A.Revealing the structure of brain.B.Testing the link between brain regions.C.Exploring mathematical abilities of the subjects.D.Finding the tie between brain chemistry and math.13.What can be learned from paragraph 3 and 4?A.The levels of GABA decide one’s math skills.B.Low MFG glutamate means poor math ability.C.Neurotransmitter levels can predict mathematical ability into the future.D.The levels of Neurotransmitters in the MFG will affect math skills.14.How can math education be improved according to Cohen Kadosh?A.By training key relevant brain areas.B.By tracking slow learners’ early learning.C.By teaching math learners individually.D.By improving the levels of GABA.15.What can be the best title of the text?A.Ways to Promote Math SkillsB.Factors Affecting Math EducationC.Brain Activities Involved in Math StudyD.Neurotransmitters Predicting Math AbilityMore mainstream sources of news such as newspapers, radio and IV aren’t gone yet, but the Internet is growing and entrenching itself as the preferred source. Here are some of the reasons why the Internet is now the best source of news people hive.Online news is faster and more convenient while on the go. Soon after a major story occurs, it takes a few hours for news channels to report it live on cable. 16Social media makes news more relevant. Social media platforms are not just limited to sharing pictures and posting updates about our daily routines. 17 For example, when there is breaking news on the Internet, people can make comments and post their thoughts regarding the event. As a result, they get into a dialogue where different opinions are presented and debated.18 On the other hand, if you get news from cable TV,you have very limited options to discuss.You can get news directly from its source. Many newsmakers are already active on the Internet. Since all these newsmakers have an online presence. People can get news directly from the concerned source, public figures, and newsmakers. 19 . Their social media presence is verified (证实的) and it is easier to trust information coming from them.20 For generation Z, cable TV is limited to sports and movie channels. They don'tsit in front of the TV to watch a news bulletin. There primary source of information is the Internet. This is how they have grown up. It's unlikely they'll move away from digital anytime soon. And since this younger generation is the future, digital or Internet news is too.A.The future is digital.B.Traditional journalism still holds great value.C.That is, news doesn't have to be reported to you.D.This makes everyday news quite relevant for a while.E.The Internet is quick to judge and demand an apology.F.However, people can get news faster through social media.G.More importantly, it is a great way to understand the public’s perspective on certain issues.二、完形填空At just 14 years old, Heman Bekele from Virginia stood out as the winner of the 2023 Young Scientist Challenge. Among the ten finalists he 21 the title of “ America’s Top Young Scientist” with his 22 creation known as the Skin Cancer Treating Soap (SCTS), a bar of soap created for the very first time at a low cost to treat melanoma, the most common kind of skin cancer.Rather than a cure, Bekele’s brilliant idea 23 the development of a soap that aims to help the patient’s cells stay active while fighting melanoma. He always has endless passion for biology and technology, and the Young Scientist Challenge just 24 him with the perfect platform to display his ideas. Reflecting on his 25 , Bekele shared that his childhood experience had played a crucial role in 26 his innovative thinking. “Having witnessed people work tirelessly under the sun, I wanted to raise people’s awareness of 27 related to constant sun exposure.”“I wanted to make my idea accessible to a broad audience.” Bekele remarked during an interview with the media. Bekele also passionately expressed his 28 of turning the soap into a world where skin cancer treatment is within 29 for all.” He was grateful that he had received invaluable 30 from a product engineering specialist, who connected him with other scientists to 31 him to reach his ambitious plans.While similar methods are available for skin cancer treatments, his solution is a more 32 option.

The thinking goes 36 someone living in China around the first century B.C.37 (throw) a piece of bamboo on a fire and it exploded with a bang. Bamboo stalks (节) contain air pockets that can expand and blow up in extreme heat. Chinese travelers would carry bamboo on journeys in case they needed to create 38 loud noise to scare away wild animals.The next major development came around the ninth century, when gunpowder was invented.Chinese producers loaded up bamboo stalks with gunpowder 39 (create) perhaps the world’s first manufactured fireworks, and later began using paper tubes as well. These were employed to ward off evil spirits and celebrate births and weddings. By the 12th century, fireworks were being lit 40 entertainment purposes in China’s imperial court. Around the 14th century, primitive fireworks then made their way to Europe, 41 Italian artists constructed displays like theatrical sets called “machines” and set off fireworks inside them.Fireworks became far 42 (complex) thanks to advances in chemistry. The 19th century saw potassium chlorate (a chemical) 43 (use) to bring out brilliant colors in fireworks, such as red and green, and enhance their44 (bright).Over the years, innovations in technology led to some curious suggestions for 45 fireworks could help solve modern problems. Whalers experimented with rocket-powered harpoons (鱼叉) in the late 1800s, and inventor Gerhard Zucker attempted to use pyrotechnic rockets to deliver mail in the 1930s.Now pyrotechnic amusements have become a global phenomenon and almost the accepted way big events are celebrated.四、书信写作46.假如你是李华,是学校英文报“Advice”栏目的编辑。

黑龙江省牡丹江市第一高级中学2023-2024学年高二上学期10月月考英语试题

黑龙江省牡丹江市第一高级中学2023-2024学年高二上学期10月月考英语试题学校:___________姓名:___________班级:___________考号:___________一、阅读理解Dear Alcohol,You’ve been around forever. I can remember all the pain you’ve caused for me.Do you remember the night you almost took my father’s life? I do. He loves you. Sometimes I think he loves you more than he loves me. He’s addicted to you, to the way you promise to rid him of his problems only to cause more of them. You just sat back and laughed as his car went spinning through the street, crashing into two other cars. He wasn’t the only one hurt by you that night.Do you remember the night of my first high school party? You were there. My friends were intrigued by you. They treated you as if they were never going to see you again, drinking all of you that they could. I spent two hours that night helping my friends who had fallen completely. “I’m so embarrassed,” they said as I held their hair back so that they could vomit (呕吐). “I’m sorry,” they said when I called taxies for them, walking them out and paying the driver in advance. “This won’t happen again,” they said as they were sent to the hospital to have their stomachs pumped. Two 15-year-old girls slept in hospital beds that night thanks to you.Do you remember the night when you took advantage of my 17-year-old neighbor who had to drive to pick up his sister from her dance lessons? Do you know how we all felt when he hit another car and killed the two people in the other car? He died the next morning too. His sister walked home from her dance lesson, and passed police cars and a crowd of people gathering on the sidewalk just two blocks away from the dance studio. She didn’t realize her brother was in the midst of it all. She never saw him again. And it’s all your fault.I wish you’d walk out of my life forever. I don’t want anything to do with you. Look at all the pain you’ve caused. Sure, you’ve made people happy too from time to time. But the damage you’ve caused in the lives of millions is inexcusable. Stop luring (引诱) in the people I love. Stop hurting me, please.Sincerely, Anonymous 1.What is author’s purpose in writing to alcohol?A.To introduce Mr. Alcohol to the readersB.To describe the harm alcohol did to his family.C.To show how much alcohol can hurt people.D.To show the great fun that alcohol can bring to people’s life.2.The underlined phrase “were intrigued by” is closest in meaning to _________.A.were familiar with B.were interested inC.were disappointed with D.were satisfied with3.What is the tone of the article?A.Critical.B.Doubtful.C.Unconcerned.D.Humorous.The idea that you can use humor, laughter, and play to make you healthier probably seems too simple to be true. However, it is really true and simple. The sense of humor, laughter and play plays an important part in keeping you healthy.Treat the blues with a sense of humor, which is closely tied to laughter. Laughter is infectious. Have you ever heard a big laugh of a young child and been able to keep yourself from smiling? When laughter is shared between people, it makes them closer to each other and increases their happiness. Smiling is the beginning of laughter and a smile is also just as infectious as laughter is. You can experience something by smiling at everyone around you,and you will feel happier just by sharing a smile, even with a stranger.Play is an important part of making sure that we stay healthy. We are often encouraged to make sure our children play, and are told of the benefits of being out playing. However,what we often forget is that it is just as important for old people to make play be part of their life as it's for children. Physical play is important for the old and it certainly helps prevent illness. While the studies are still in the early stages, the studies that have been done have shown that physical play certainly plays a part in preventing cognitive (认知的) falling.Anyway, adding humor, laughter and play to our life will influence us mentally,physically and socially and bring us many advantages. So we should make full use of humor, laughter and play to make our life more active, more interesting and happier.4.What does the underlined word “infectious” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A.Playing an important role.B.Keeping people in high spirits.C.Quickly influencing other people.D.Preventing illness from spreading. 5.What can laughter increase according to the author?A.Cognitive ability.B.Good relationships.C.A sense of humor.D.Happiness and trust.6.What does the author think the old should do?A.They should have a good rest.B.They should play like children.C.They should prevent cognitive falling.D.They should take part in physical play. 7.Which of the following would be the best title for the text?A.Humor, Laughter and Play for Health B.Always Keep Our Body HealthyC.Have an Active and Happy Life D.Let Our Body and Mind RelaxMost people agree that honesty is a good thing. But does Mother Nature agree? Animals can’t talk, but can they lie in other ways? Can they lie with their bodies and behavior? Animal experts may not call it lying, but they do agree that many animals, from birds to chimpanzees, behave dishonestly to fool other animals. Why? Dishonesty often helps them survive.Many kinds of birds are very successful at fooling other animals. For example, a bird called the plover sometimes pretends to be hurt in order to protect its young. When a predator(猎食动物) gets close to its nest, the plover leads the predator away from the nest. How? It pretends to have a broken wing. The predator follows the “hurt” adult, leaving the baby birds safe in the nest.Another kind of bird, the scrub jay, buries its food so it always has something to eat. Scrub jays are also thieves. They watch where others bury their food and steal it. But clever scrub jays seem to know when a thief is watching them. So they go back later, unbury the food, and bury it again somewhere else.Birds called cuckoos have found a way to have babies without doing much work. How? They don’t make nests. Instead, they get into other birds’ nests secretly. Then they lay their eggs and fly away. When the baby birds come out, their adoptive parents feed them.Chimpanzees, or chimps, can also be sneaky. After a fight, the losing chimp will give its hand to the other. When the winning chimp puts out its hand, too, the chimps are friendly again. But an animal expert once saw a losing chimp take the winner’s hand and start fighting again.Chimps are sneaky in other ways, too. When chimps find food that they love, such as bananas, it is natural for them to cry out. Then other chimps come running. But some clever chimps learn to cry very softly when they find food. That way, other chimps don’t hear them,and they don’t need to share their food.As children, many of us learn the saying “You can’t fool Mother Nature.” But maybe you can’t trust her, either.8.A plover protects its young from a predator by ________.A.getting closer to its young B.driving away the adult predatorC.leaving its young in another nest D.pretending to be injured9.By “Chimpanzees, or chimps, can also be sneaky” (paragraph5), the author means________.A.chimps are ready to attack othersB.chimps are sometimes dishonestC.chimps are jealous of the winnersD.chimps can be selfish too10.Which of the following is true according to the passage?A.Some chimps lower their cry to keep food away from others.B.The losing chimp won the fight by taking the winner's hand.C.Cuckoos fool their adoptive parents by making no nests.D.Some clever scrub jays often steal their food back.11.Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A.Do animals lie?B.Does Mother Nature fool animals?C.How do animals learn to lie?D.How does honesty help animals survive?Social networks are a big part of nearly every teenager’s life in this day and age. Many teens have QQ, WeChat, or Weibo but little do a lot of teens know that they can be held responsible for everything they post for the rest of their lives. Everything you post online is part of a digital footprint that can always be traced (追踪) back to you. That includes every post, even like, comment, favorite and forward that you have ever committed. All pictures you’ve posted or will post have been stored in a digital database, and it is the companies’ right to keep all of these documents that you believe to have been deleted or hidden.With every post comes a consequence; whether it is good or bad, what you post could be seen by anyone. That is why you have to be very careful of what you decide to post orcomment.If you think you are safe from Servite finding out about one funny comment you made six months ago on a meaningless picture, you are probably wrong. Recently, a senior, Aaron, at Servite learned this lesson the hard way this year. He wrote a series of ugly comments towards Connelly girls on a web page, ignoring potential consequences.This student, however, did have to face consequences from Servite as he was removed from all of his leadership roles in the school. Surprisingly enough, he fully agreed with his punishment handed down by the administration and fully understood why he was given such severe discipline (惩处). “When you agree to come to Servite, you are agreeing to defend what Servite stands for,” the young man said. “That continues past the hours of 8 am and 2 pm.

浙江省精诚联盟2024-2025学年高二上学期10月月考英语试题

浙江省精诚联盟2024-2025学年高二上学期10月月考英语试题一、阅读理解Are you looking for inspiration for your next travel destination? Lonely Planet has published its yearly list of top places to go. Whether you’re looking for adventure, culture, or value, there’s something for every type of traveler. Let’s explore the top picks for travel destinations in2024.Top City: NairobiNairobi, the Kenyan capital, was chosen for its unique music and dance culture, and impressive local restaurants. Nairobi National Park, just a short drive out of the city’s central business district, is a must-see, where visitors can see over 400 species wandering the open grass plains while skyscrapers (摩天大楼) twinkle on the horizon.Top Country: MongoliaMongolia is loved for its wide-open spaces, adventure activities, and unique food. The Mongolian government has announced 2023 through 2025 as the “Years to Visit Mongolia,” easing entry conditions for international travelers and improving public facilities, including a new $650 million airport.Top Sustainable Travel Destination: SpainThe publisher also recommended Spain for the country’s efforts to expand renewable energy, to develop off-season travel, and to bring tourism to new destinations, such as the port city of Valencia, easing pressures on hot spots such as Barcelona.Top Best-Value Location: The American MidwestThe American Midwest, including the cities of Chicago and Detroit, is also on the list, as it offers a high-quality travel experience at a reasonable cost. Visitors can enjoy excellent services and facilities, such as old warehouses transformed into art studios, new eco-design (环保设计) hotels, and Michelin-starred restaurants, without having to spend too much money.Top Beach Destination: DonegalDonegal, Ireland’s most northwestern county, has the country’s longest coastline and over 100 beaches, where visitors can enjoy the highest sea cliffs in Europe and miles of beautiful coastal hiking trails.1.What can people do in Nairobi National Park?A.Appreciate various animals.B.See musical performances.C.Taste impressive local dishes.D.Enjoy cultural activities.2.Why is The American Midwest considered to be the Best-Value Location?A.It has highest sea cliffs.B.It offers cost-effective experiences.C.It provides excellent services and facilities.D.It is a best choice for art lover.3.Where is the text most probably taken from?A.A travel blog B.An art websiteC.A commercial advertisement D.A travel magazineEven with the Olympic Games now over, echoes of the past days still remained. The National Police would show up around the same time, with soldiers pacing outside the venue entrances. Cafes did a roaring trade, catering to a steady stream of handball and volleyball fans, dressed in national colors, covered in flags, singing songs. After the Games, a different atmosphere settles in. This is Monday, Day +1 of the Games, the morning after the closing ceremony. The loudspeaker has fallen silent. The 7 am police officer procession is now a workers’ lorry, with workers in bright orange vests tidying away barriers. The roadblocks are gone. The cable car stop has reopened.Is this normal life in south-west Paris? The Games decoration still covers every public space, the flags wave, but the Olympic visitors have disappeared. Forget 28 Days Later — this is 28 Hours Later, and I am an Olympic zombie. During the Games, Paris welcomed 2.4 million visitors, 73% of them French, with half coming just for the day. The remaining 27% were international visitors, up 14% from last year. It was these day-trippers and foreign fans who made Paris so lively and colorful.Before packing for my Tuesday Eurostar, I stopped by a regular local haunt. Two days before the opening ceremony, I had asked the chef-owner of 750g La Table about the Games. His response was clear: “The Olympic Games? It’s a disaster. My takings are down 35%. Businesses are closing. Tourists don’t visit.” Today, I ask him what he thinks now that the show is over. “Ah, I was wrong!” he says, smiling. “I was wrong. It was amazing, for the city and for my business. Now, as you see, we’re not busy. Sit wherever you like. All we do now is rest and clean.” Weshake hands, and I ask him about the future. “Now? I’m going to take a nap,” he says, pretending to sleep and laughing before heading to the back room for a nap. And with that, the spirit of the Games fades, leaving Paris to rest.4.What is the atmosphere in Paris after the Games are over?A.Exciting and cheerful.B.Quiet and relaxed.C.Empty and lifeless.D.Bustling and busy.5.How did the number of visitors change in Paris during the Games?A.Visitor numbers were unchanged.B.Visitor numbers significantly dropped.C.Visitor numbers saw a relative increase.D.Visitor numbers remained fairly constant.6.What does the author’s conversation with the chef-owner imply?A.The chef-owner feared losses initially but later saw benefits.B.The chef-owner saw no impact on his business.C.The chef-owner’s takings are down during the Games.D.The chef-owner regretted participating in the Games.7.What’s the best title of this passage?A.The Olympic Zombie in ParisB.From Olympic Glory to Parisian CalmC.Olympic business boom in ParisD.The Disappearance of Olympic VisitorsOver a decade ago, the science fiction series Black Mirror showed a story about using artificial intelligence to bring back loved ones. Thanks to technological advancement, the latest AI resurrection technology brings hope of recreating loved ones through virtual form.Recently, it was revealed that renowned musician Tino Bao had created a digital version of his daughter, who in 2021 passed away due to a rare disease at the age of 22. With the help of Xiaoice, Microsoft Asia’s AI branch based in China, Bao was able to recreate his daughter Bao Rong as an AI-powered virtual figure. Tino Bao, his family and the team went to great lengths to piece together pictures, audio-visual recordings, and narrated memories of Rong. After thousandsof trials and errors, they presented the life-like digital human who speaks in both Mandarin and English. Bao has finally launched a company to bring the technological miracle to other families experiencing such loss.However, this technological achievement has also been accompanied by many controversies. The idea of bringing back a loved one through AI may seem comforting. Still, researchers caution that constantly interacting with an AI version of a deceased loved one could potentially affect the natural grieving (悲伤) process, leaving individuals stuck in a state of denial. This could lead to prolonged grief and other mental health issues. Furthermore, there’s a risk that people may become overly dependent on the technology, prioritizing their interactions with the AI version over forming new, real-life relationships.With the case of Bao Rong out in the open, AI resurrection has become a business. From simple “talking pictures” that sound nothing like the loved ones to deepfake videos of actors speaking with the faces of those who passed away, the lower end of the market is more “artificial” than “intelligent”. Therefore, it is crucial to establish proper regulations and ethical standards to ensure that the use of AI-resurrection technology is safe and responsible.8.What does the underlined word “resurrection” in para.1 most likely mean?A.The act of bringing something back to life or existence.B.The process of improving AI technology.C.The development of new virtual forms.D.The combination of memories and technology.9.What is a possible consequence of constantly interacting with an AI version of a deceased loved one?A.It may cause people to forget the real memories of the loved one.B.It may prevent people from using other AI technologies.C.It may prolong the natural grieving process and cause mental health problems.D.It may lead to the decline of the AI industry.10.Which of the following statements about the future of AI resurrection technology is correct?A.It will eventually replace traditional ways of memorizing loved ones.B.It needs proper regulations and ethical standards to ensure safe and responsible use.C.It will be completely banned due to ethical concerns.D.It will develop healthily without proper regulations.11.What is the main idea of the passage?A.The introduction of the science fiction series Black Mirror.B.The process of creating an AI version of a loved one.C.The benefits and controversies of using AI to recreate loved ones.D.The development of AI technology in the field of music.It’s always supposed that one is either a “cat person” or a “dog person”. Dogs, the assumption goes, are loyal, affectionate, and fun; cats, as Mrs Beeton suggested in 1862, are “selfish, cruel, greedy, and without a bit of affection”. But what does it reveal about someone who prefers the company of cats? This interesting question is at the heart of Kathryn Hughes’s Catland, where she explores the cultural significance of cats throughout history.Hughes traces the history of the cat in culture and society, focusing on its journey from pest to pet in the mid-19th-century. She also explores the anthropomorphic (拟人的) world of “cat art” created by the 19th-century artist Louis Wain. The famous novelist H. G. Wells once credited Wain with “inventing a cat style, a cat society, and a whole cat world.” In Wain’s comic-like pictures, cats adopt human form, wear clothes, drive cars, and parent naughty baby cats. Standing on their back legs with huge, expressive eyes, Wain’s cat subjects often reflect their view, offering a unique social observation on the period.In addition to Wain’s contributions, Hughes explores the broader 19th-century interest in cats. She suggests that the mystery surrounding cats could easily lead to misunderstandings between humans and these animals, potentially explaining the origins of ailments (疾病) like ailurophobia (the fear of cats).The book also highlights the influence of cats on famous figures of the time. For example, while Hardy is buried at Westminster Abbey, his heart is famously transported and buried with his beloved cat in a graveyard in Dorset, having been transported there in a biscuit tin.Returning to Louis Wain, his later years took a darker turn. Declared mentally ill and committed to a mental hospital, Wain continued to create art, but his cats took on a dream-like, colorful character, far removed from the naughty baby cats of his earlier work.12.What assumptions are made about “cat people” and “dog people”?A.Dog people are intelligent, while cat people are untrustworthy.B.Dog people are independent, while cat people are affectionate.C.Dog people are faithful, while cat people are self-centered.D.Dog people are shy, while cat people are outgoing.13.What can we learn from the third paragraph?A.People like cats because they are mystical creatures.B.Hughes is more interested in cats than Wain.C.The mystery of cats results from people’s misunderstanding.D.Misunderstandings of cat behavior may lead to fear.14.Why does the author mention Thomas Hardy in paragraph 4?A.To illustrate the influence of cats on famous figures.B.To show the popularity of cats among famous people.C.To prove that Hardy was a “cat person”.D.To discuss the burial traditions of famous people.15.What’s the difference between Wain’s later work and his earlier ones?A.Later work described cats in natural settings.B.Earlier work focused more on cats instead of dogs.C.Later work turned more serious and darker.D.Later work is more dream-like and striking.Research has shown that spending more time outside is key to the nation’s well-being. Nearly two thirds of UK adults said that taking in the colors, sights, smells and sounds of the great outdoors by gardening or being surrounded by nature helped with their mental wellbeing and lowered stress levels. Now is a great time to dig out your trowel and get your hands dirty in some soil. 16 Pick your ownThere’s nothing like eating your own vegetables. From picking your own strawberries or unearthing the first new potatoes of the year, homegrown vegetable is a joy. It simply tastes better. Once you start home growing you may never stop.You don’t need to have a large plot to do so either. 17 Don’t forget that a windowsill garden should also provide color as well as be useful, so experiment with differentvarieties for attractive leaves. 18Over the garden fence, while weeding your window boxes, it’s amazing whoever you talk to when you’re enjoying tending to your plants or vegetables. Simply being out and about in your garden invites interaction and conversation with neighbors and people in your local area, which in itself has multiple social and wellbeing benefits.Additionally, whether you’re a learner or a keen gardener, community gardening groups can also be invaluable for information sharing. 19 Stay healthyDid you know that the amount of calories burnt from 30 minutes of gardening is comparable to playing badminton, volleyball or practicing yoga? From digging to weeding to lopping and mowing, there’s a whole world of muscle movement when you’re planting and tidying. 20 Research carried out by the RHS and Coventry University shows that a good digging technique was found to have minimal backbend and a large knee bend, so be mindful and make sure you’re saving yourself from a future potential bad back.A.Join gardening groupsB.Start community conversationsC.Here are top reasons to get gardening this year.D.Herbs and smaller vegetables are more than happy in pots on windowsills or small balconies. E.However, ensuring you’re completing jobs with minimal strain and risk of injury is imperative. F.Looking after plants in window boxes also boosted wellbeing—showing that you don’t need a big garden.G.Local seed and plant swap groups are also a great way of meeting people and getting rid of unwanted plants.二、完形填空“I will have revenge (复仇) on him.” said Philip to himself, with a face quite red with anger. His mind was so 21 that he did not see Stephen, who happened at that instant to meet him.Stephen asked, “on whom you intend to be revenged?”As if 22 from a dream, stopped short, and looking at his friend, Philip said, “It wasfarmer Robinson’s son who reduced it to this 23 state.”“I was walking peaceably along,” he replied, “and was playing with my cane (藤条) 24 twisting it round my body. By accident, one of the 25 slipped out of my hand. It so happened that my cane, in springing back, upset the pot the ill-natured fellow had put down, but did not break it. He came up close to me, began to call me names, seized my cane, and twisted it, as you see.”“To be sure,” said Stephen, “he is a very bad boy, and is already very properly 26 for being such, 27 nobody likes him or will have anything to do with him.” “Now, Philip,” continued Stephen, “I think you will act better in not minding him, as your contempt will be the best punishment you can put upon him. And, I will tell you what happened to him not long before.”“Very unluckily for him, he chanced to see a bee hovering about a flower which he caught, and was going to 28 its wings, when the animal stung him. The pain put him into a furious passion, and, like you, he vowed revenge. Finally the whole swarm flew out and stung him in a hundred different places. They had stung him so 29 that he was confined several days to his bed.”“Thus, you see, he was not very successful in his 30 of revenge. I would advise you, therefore, to 31 his fault. He is a bad boy and much stronger than you; so that your ability to obtain this revenge may be doubtful.”“I must own,” replied Philip, “that your advice seems very good.”A few days afterward, Philip saw this ill-natured boy fall as he was carrying home a heavy log of wood, 32 he could not lift up again. Philip ran to him, and helped him to replace it on his shoulder. Young Robinson was quite 33 at the thought of this unmerited kindness. Philip went home quite satisfied. “This,” he said, “is the noblest 34 I could take, in returning good for evil. It is 35 I should feel sorry for it.”21.A.appointed B.engaged C.employed D.involved 22.A.to awaken B.to be awaken C.awakened D.awakening 23.A.comfortable B.peaceful C.worthless D.meaningful 24.A.by B.on C.through D.for 25.A.canes B.flowers C.sticks D.ends26.A.punished B.blamed C.scolded D.criticized 27.A.when B.although C.since D.while 28.A.cut off B.pull off C.take off D.shut off 29.A.severely B.tightly C.uncomfortably D.tensely 30.A.affection B.thought C.pursuit D.hope 31.A.pass over B.turn over C.hand over D.go over 32.A.that B.when C.what D.which 33.A.excited B.ashamed C.regretted D.annoyed 34.A.responsibility B.revenge C.kindness D.mercy 35.A.certain B.natural C.improper D.impossible三、语法填空阅读下面材料,在空白处填入一个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

湖北省荆州中学2023-2024学年高二上学期10月月考英语试题学校:___________姓名:___________班级:___________考号:___________一、阅读理解A road trip is not just about taking in the scenery through the car windscreen. Instead, the changes in location let you increase the scope of your holiday. Here are four recommended routes.CCR 200It is a new coastal road trip showing off the hidden side of the Lake District. The route takes in various nature reserves as well as other attractions like beaches and castles. The road trip is aimed at campers of all kinds and has been divided into five sections that can each be done in a day.The Explorer’s RoadThe Road extends almost the entire length of eastern England, featuring some of the country’s hidden treasures and finest attractions. Along the way you can explore stunning beaches, spectacular countryside and historic landmarks, with plenty of campsites lining the route.South West Coastal 300The South West Coastal 300 is around the southwest of Scotland. It’s a fantastic way to discover one of the UK’s hidden treasures. Inland, there are demanding hills that provide a steep one to walkers and climbers, not to mention hundreds of square miles of forestry and rolling countryside where cycling enthusiasts can clock up the miles.Atlantic HighwayThe route roughly follows the line of the Atlantic coast. There are picturesque village views and you certainly won’t be short of things to see or do. And there is no shortage of stopovers. The only downside is that the roads round here are extremely busy occasionally, so if you want a more stress-free trip, try heading down out of summer.1.Which road trip best suits those who enjoy challenges?A.CCR 200B.The Explorer’s Road.C.South West Coastal 300.D.Atlantic Highway.2.What is one shared feature of CCR 200 and The Explorer’s Road?A.Lesser-known aspects.B.Popular beaches and castles.C.Landmarks with a long history.D.Newly-developed nature reserves. 3.What is the disadvantage of Atlantic Highway?A.It closes in summer.B.Its views are limited.C.It charges for stopovers.D.It is crowded sometimes.Everyone “talks” with their hands at least sometimes. Some people’s hand-talking, or gesturing matches their messages well. Other people like to make gestures that can be confusing. And still others don’t use their hands much at all. No matter which group you are in, it’s important to pay attention to your hand gestures while you are communicating. And also remember hand gestures can have cultural meanings.A few years ago, I was a speaker at a conference in Lisbon, Portugal. It was my first time in Portugal, and I became immediately fond of the special pastries (糕点) that Lisbon and Portugal are known for. One morning I went into a bakery and ordered two of the pastries.I did so by holding up two fingers, similar to the “victory” or “peace” gesture in the United States. The person behind the counter put three pastries in the box. I later learned that the gesture for two would raise thumb and index finger. Even though my thumb wasn’t showing, the person behind the counter thought I was signaling for three.I was lucky that I didn’t get into more trouble than an extra pastry. Many hand gestures are not generic. Before speaking in a country that you are not familiar with, do some research to find out which gestures might be misunderstood, not understood at all or rude.4.Why did the author go to Lisbon, Portugal?A.To taste pastries.B.To take a holiday.C.To attend a meeting.D.To learn Portuguese culture.5.Which was the gesture the author made in bakery?A.B.C.D.6.What does the underlined word “generic” probably mean?A.Normal.B.Independent.C.Common.D.Complex.A.tell us that hand gestures are not the same worldwide.B.explain the general use of gestures.C.ask us to use correct hand gestures in Portugal.D.share a funny story in Portugal.Whether we are young or old, we all have a dream we would love to come true. The issue is that most of us have no idea where to begin to turn a great idea into fact, or that we choose to abandon our dreams when the going gets tough. If this is you, then self-help guide Dream and Achieve: Discover and Express Your Passion in Your Lifetime by Kola Olutimehin should be at the top of your reading list.Kola, who fittingly describes himself as a “Dream Driver”, has helped thousands of people achieve through his coaching and public speaking, and he has distilled (浓缩) all his wisdom and tried-and-tested methods into this book.At the beginning of the book, Kola defines what we mean by a “dream”, stating that a dream is a long-cherished vision of what you want to make your inheritance and your contribution to the world. That doesn’t mean that this dream, whatever it may be, is already fully formed in your mind. It may be fuzzy (模糊的); it may just be a feeling that you were born to attain something you don’t currently possess.What I love in this section of the book is how Kola, who has built his own business empire with blood, sweat and tears, debunks (驳斥) the common myths people associate with becoming a success, such as the need to make decisions with fully detailed plans.He therefore urges readers, when faced with a decision, to consider the four “Ds”. These are Desire—questioning what you truly want and why you want it; acting on your Decision, which is an active step; Determination, chiefly having the staying power not to backtrack; and Discipline, which means you must continue to act upon your decision to help make your dreams a reality.In conclusion, author Kola Olutimehin has captured the essence of success and set it down in print, and Dream and Achieve is the one book you need to find your life’s purpose, and achieve it.8.What can you get from the book by Kola?A.A guide to realize your dream.B.Some skills about public speaking.C.A way to become a rich businessman.D.Some advice on wise reading choices. 9.What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?A.The definition of a dream.B.The importance of a dream.C.The power of a dream.D.The form of a dream.10.What does Kola suggest people do when making decisions?A.Make fully detailed plans.B.Get rid of your desires.C.Stay optimistic and positive.D.Think about things you really want. 11.What is the text?A.A news report.B.A short story.C.A book review.D.A researcharticle.A Beijing-based gene firm on Monday announced the debut (首次亮相) of the world’s first, cloned wild article wolf via video. 100 days after its birth in a Beijing lab. Experts said its birth pioneers the breeding of more rare and endangered animals through cloning technology.“To save the endangered animal, we started the research cooperation with Harbin Polarland on cloning the arctic wolf in 2020. After two years of painstaking efforts, the arctic wolf was cloned successfully. It is the first case of its kind in the world,” Mi Jidong, the company’s general manager of the Beijing-based Sinogene Biotechnology Co., said at a press conference in Beijing.Born on June 10, the wolf, named Maya, is in very good health. Its donor cell came from the skin sample of a wild female arctic wolf, which had been introduced from Canada to Harbin Polarland. The cloning of the arctic wolf was accomplished by constructing 137 new embryos (胚胎), followed by the transfer of 85 embryos to the uteri of seven dogs, of which one was born as a healthy wolf-Maya, Zhao noted. The selection of a dog as Maya’s surrogate (代孕) was made because dogs share genetic ancestry with ancient wolves and it’s more likely to succeed through cloning technology, experts said.He Zhengming, the head of Chinese Experimental Animal Resources Research Institute for Food and Drug Control, said that the cloned animals still have the ability to reproduce if they have intact fertilized eggs. The cloning technology can copy all genetic information for selective breeding, and in this way, it diversifies the population of endangered animals.From the world’s first mammal clone “Dolly”, cloning technology has provided thepossibility to diversify the populations of some species such as cattle, pigs and horses. When endangered species in some places are identified, cloning of cells preserved from freezing technologies could also generate new life, experts said.However, some raised controversy relating to the cloned arctic wolf. Sun Ouanhui, a scientist from the World Animal Protection organization, insisted that cloning technology has made great progress since its birth, but it is still being perfected and in the exploratory stage of research, and there are many technical and ethical issues that need to be tackled and treated with caution.12.What is the significance of the first cloned wild arctic wolf’s birth?A.To produce more endangered species through cloning.B.To help the scientists win an award.C.To promote the research cooperation.D.To increase the profit of wildlife reserves.13.What can be inferred from Paragraph 3?A.Maya is the first cloned arctic wolf in the world.B.Wild arctic wolves are easily available in Harbin Polarland.C.There is no scientific support for choosing a dog as Maya’s surrogate.D.Researchers experienced trial and error to achieve the successful birth of Maya. 14.What’s the author’s attitude toward cloning technology?A.Doubtful.B.Favorable.C.Objective.D.Opposed. 15.Which is the best title of the passage?A.The Research on the Rare and Endangered AnimalsB.The Debut of the World’s 1st Cloned Wild Arctic WolfC.The Beginning of the Cloning Technology ApplicationD.The Conservation of Endangered Wildlife through Cloning Technology二、七选五Ways to protect eyes from screensToo much screen time may cause serious eye strain (眼疲劳)and even a sharp decline of eyesight. That's a big problem a lot of people are faced with nowadays, especially those who work on a computer. The following tips may be helpful.Get regular eye testsExperts recommend having a comprehensive eye exam every year to detect (探测)problems before they develop. During this test, you should tell the doctor how often you use your phone and your computer. 16 Tell your doctor about it, and your eyes can be tested more accurately at that distance.Give your eyes spaceThe closer your phone/computer screen is to your eyes, the harder they have to work to focus. 17 If this makes it hard for you to read, consider increasing the size of the text rather than moving the screen closer.Take breaksThis may not always be practical if you're quite busy,but it's important not to stare directly at a screen for too long. 18 While surveys have shown that many office workers take no more than half an hour a day away from their computer, it's recommended that you take a 15-minute break after every two hours spent at your screen.19Staring at a screen continuously for hours on end may make it difficult for you to focus. To avoid this, many eye experts recommend the “20-20-20 rule”---looking away from your phone/computer screen every 20 minutes and focusing on an object at least 20 feet away for at least 20 seconds. The science behind his trick is that looking at objects at a distance relaxes the focusing muscle in the eye. 20A.Exercise your eyes.B.Give your eyes a chance to rest.C.Make your screen more eye-friendly.D.Studies show it’s an effective way to reduce tiredness.E.You should also measure the distance from your eyes to your screen at work.F.Make sure that you use your phone or computer in a room where the lighting is bright enough.G.Studies on eye strain suggest that computer screens should be no closer than 40 cm from your face.三、完形填空For four long years, Owen Connors had to spend his Saturday afternoons playing rugbySaturdays.The boy would walk home in the dark, 22 in mud and frozen to the bone. So, imagine his 23 when he opened the door of the family’s small house to be 24 by the delicious aroma (香味) of Guinness pie. Outside the wind was blowing, and the rain was 25 the windows.

The more viewers such videos can get, the more money the family can make. At first thought, it does seem like an easy way to make money. However, are we doing right by putting their lives up for public attention?For one thing, as the children grow up, they increasingly become aware that what they do needs to be admirable enough for the public to enjoy — Being young children, they also would want to do whatever it takes to please others. They then feel the pressure to be perfect, and as that is something not always possible, they become anxious and stressed. Comments from viewers and the expectations of sponsors (赞助者) can also affect the parents’ reactions towards their children.Another problem is the lack of privacy in the children’s lives. As the children reach adolescence, there is a greaser need for personal space. At 12 or 13, very few children would appreciate being filmed while eating or having a conversation with their friends. Teenhood is a time of significant change in an individual, both physically and emotionally, and is a time when parents need to protect their children and guide them, instead of exposing them to the eyes of the public.Family vlogging can be irresistible, given how it allows parents to bring greater fun to their family lives. There is also the easy money and the fame to look forward to. Indeed, all would probably go well, but only as long as parents keep in mind that, if not managed well, making their children live their lives in the unforgiving eyes of the public could prove to be a big mistake.4.How does vlogging about children’s lives influence the family?A.Children will get used to public attention.B.Children may suffer from too much pressure.C.Parents may show no concern for their children.D.Parents become addicted to exposing their children to the public.5.How does the writer mainly develop his argument?A.By providing examples B.By listing numbersC.By making comparisons D.By analyzing causes6.What’s the writer’s purpose of writing the text?A.To introduce a new big businessB.To show how vlogging influence people’s lives.C.To persuade parents to watch out for comments from viewers.D.To convince parents of the danger of vlogging about children’s lives.7.What’s the writer’s attitude to vlogging about children’s lives?A.negative B.positive C.neutral D.uninterestedYou’ve probably eaten a hot dog and felt like the underdog — but have you ever spotted a sundog?A sundog is a weather event that causes two bright bursts of rainbow colored light to appear on either side of the sun. It is located approximately 22 degrees either left, right, or both, from the sun, depending on where the ice crystals (冰晶体) are. If the sun were a clock, you would see them around 3 o’clock and 9 o’clock. Sometimes sundogs appear with a halo (光环) around the sun. They can be very beautiful, with a reddish glow closest to the sun and a bluish white center. Sundogs can be seen during any season but are most often seen during the winter months when the sun is lower in the sky. You are also more likely to see them early or late in the day, when the sun is near the horizon (地平线).The most brilliant sundogs happen on sunny days.Conditions need to be just right for sundogs to appear. Sunlight passes through high, cold cirrus clouds (卷云). These clouds contain flat, 6-sided ice crystals. If the plate-like crystals go toward the ground horizontally with the large face towards the earth, light is reflected through the sides. The crystals act as prisms (棱镜), separating the light and making the sundog.Throughout history, sundogs have been used to predict weather because they often indicate that snow or rain is on its way. Some people believed that sundogs were a sign of good luck or encouragement, while others saw them as a warning from God.Famous authors such as William Shakespeare and Jack London have described sundogs in stories and poems as both frightening and amazing. Artists have been inspired to catch the beauty of sundogs in drawings, paintings, and photography, and rock bands have even written songs about them.8.What can we learn about sundogs from the second paragraph?A.Sundogs can be used to tell the time.B.Sundogs are most common in winter.C.Sundogs always come after a rainbow.D.Sundogs predict the coming of sunny days.9.In which situation will sundogs come into being?A.The clouds separate the sunlight.B.The plate turns its face towards the earth.C.The crystals go toward the ground horizontally.D.Ice crystals are positioned with their flat sides horizontal to the ground.10.Why do people use sundogs to predict weather?A.Because people think they stand for bad luck B.Because sundogs are beyond their recognition.C.Because a rain or snow often comes after them.D.Because people consider it asa warning from God.11.Why does the author mention Shakespeare and Jack London?A.To prove sundogs are magical events.B.To show sundogs have long attracted great attention.C.To encourage writers to describe sundogs in their works.D.To remind people that they are good at writing stories and poemsHumans have many unique behaviors among animals. For example, we have a formal language that permits communication about things that exist in the past, present, and future. Yet we share at least one emotion with many other species fear.To really understand our fears we have to go further to study how animals long before humans came into being assessed (评估) and managed predation (捕食) risk in the wild. All animals, past and present, must assess life-threatening predation risks (风险) and make decisions to avoid or otherwise manage those risks. It is a proper balance: being too fearful is costly if fear means that you miss out on getting food, mates, or other important resources.However, being too brazen could end very poorly indeed. It is the context that influences all decisions. If they’re hungry, it’s wise to take more risks or they will go hungry. And, if they’re powerful and can steal food from others at will, perhaps it’s OK to be a bit more careful. Successful individuals are those that make right assessment, and because of this, leave more descendants.Natural expressions of fear influence the structure of ecological communities, and the removal of predators changes entire ecosystems. To manage predation risks, animals modify(调整) their activity patterns, habitat selection,and their diet. Fear of predators can also reduce an individual’s reproductive(繁殖)success. All of these fear-driven modifications can have a great influence on both the environment and the diversity of many species. Fear, as it turns out, is an essential part of healthy ecosystems and helps keep biodiversity.Fear is a natural emotion, and that it’s impossible to completely avoid it. It is comforting to know that fear comes from a long line of ancestors, both human and nonhuman. It is a compass(指南针)that, when used I properly, guides us away from danger and toward opportunity.12.What do we know about animals’ risk assessment and management according to paragraph 2?A.Animals are too fearful to make right assessments.B.Animals will fail to get food when they are fearful.C.Animals have to make proper decisions based on different situations.D.Animals which arc more fearful are more likely to make right assessment. 13.What does the underlined word “brazen“ mean in paragraph 2?A.brave B.afraid C.hungry D.strong 14.What is paragraph 3 mainly about?A.The ways animals manage fearB.The influence fear has on ecosystemC.The approaches to keeping a healthy ecosystemD.The problems fear brings about to the ecosystem15.Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?A.Fear from Our Deep Past B.Survival of the bravestC.Emotion from human and nonhuman.D.Path to risk management二、七选五Today, we’re constantly interrupted by tools, emails, social media-you name it. In our distraction economy, it’s nearly impossible to focus on what truly matters. But time management can bring more mindfulness into your daily routine. 16TimeboxingTimeboxing is a goal-oriented (面向目标的) time management strategy. 17 And then complete those pieces in a reasonable amount of time. Each task should have its own unique timebox that lasts no more than three hours. By breaking the work into smaller pieces, you can make steady progress towards your goal over the course of days or weeks.Pomodoro methodThe Pomodoro method helps you deal with work within short time frames and then take breaks. This strategy is particularly helpful because it actively encourages regular breaks.18 Start by setting your timer for 25 minutes, and try to spend that time working on a task-avoid checking your text messages or social media if possible. Then, once time is up, take a five-minute break.Eating the FrogMark Twain famously said, “If it’s your job to eat a frog, it’s best to do it first thing in the morning.” 19 It encourages you to tackle big or complex tasks first before working on your less important or less urgent work. With the Eat the Frog method, you can ensure you’re getting to your most important work every day.Getting Things Done20 By freeing up brain power and instead relying on task management tools, you can focus on taking action and not remembering what you need to do. To use the GTD method, capture all of your upcoming work in one place. Then once you’ve written down everything you need to do, sort and prioritize (优先) your work.A.It helps you break down large tasks into smaller pieces.B.The first step is to write down everything you need to do.C.This management strategy takes inspiration from this quote.D.Here are some time management tips to get more things done.E.Time management isn’t always about getting all of your work done.F.This can increase motivation for you know exactly what you’re doing.G.In fact, research suggests that taking breaks makes people more creative.三、完形填空Last year in early summer, I was walking to my house when I saw two large birdsof two special birds making a nest (巢) in my yard.A few weeks later, the birds 24 . I found them crouching (蹲伏) beside a tree. As I approached them, they 25 their heads and made a croaking (嘶哑地叫) sound.

All of these books mainly help people ______________.A. to make friends easilyB. to improve their quality of lifeC. to find a better jobD. to achieve their goals3. If you want to buy two copies of Balancing Work & Life and one copy of Happiness Now online, how much would you have to pay?A. $29B. $23.20C. $26.50D. $22.40BThe Internet plays a big part in human life. We use it for work and entertainment. We can find new recipes(食谱) on the Interact or advice on staying healthy. We can even use it to learn a new language. We use the Internet to keep in contact with family and friends and stay in touch with issues we care about. The list goes on and on.Well, there may be no going back to an Internet-free life. But can using the Internet too much be bad for our health? It might be, say researchers. A new study finds that heavy Internet use may be connected to high blood pressure in an unlikely group---teenagers. So, try to be a responsible guardian for your children.The study results show that teens who spend at least 14 hours a week online are more likely to have high blood pressure. High blood pressure makes your heart and blood vessels(血管) work too hard. Over time, this extra strain(压力) increases your risk of a heart attack or stroke(中风). High blood pressure can also cause heart, kidney and brain diseases.The Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit, Michigan did the study. It involved 335 young people, from 14 to 17 years old. One hundred and thirty-four of the teens were descr ibed as “heavy Internet users”. Researchers found that out of these 134 teens, 26 had high blood pressure. The researchers say the study is the first one to connect heavy web use with high blood pressure. Another research has connected that heavy Internet use with health problems including anxiety, depression and obesity(肥胖症).The lead researcher of the study is Andrea Cassidy-Bushrow. For the purpose of the study, she explains, teens considered heavy Internet users were online on average “25 hours a week”.In a statement she said, “Using the Internet is part of our daily but it shouldn’t consume us.”Ms. Gassidy-Bushrow adds that it is important for teens to take regular breaks from their computers or smart phones and to do some kinds of physical activities. She alsosuggests that parents limit their children’s use of the Internet to two hours a day, five days a week.4.The author mainly wants to tell us .A.how to prevent high blood pressure.B.too much Internet use may be bad for teenagers.C.it’s ne cessary for teenagers to avoid the Internet.D.heavy Internet use will worsen teenagers’ memory.5.What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 5 mean?A.People shouldn’t buy goods through the Internet.B.People shouldn’t waste too much time on the Inter net.C.People shouldn’t fall in love with the Internet.D.People should control the time length of using the Internet6.According to Casssidy-Bushrow, teenagers’ use of the Internet should be limited to .A.25 hours a week B.fourteen hours a weekC.ten hours a week D.five hours a week7.The text is mainly intended for .A.parents B.teachers C.web-designers D.studentsCOne of the greatest sources of unhappiness, in my experience, is the difficulty we have in accepting things as they are.When we see something we don't like, we wish it could be different. We cry out for something better. That may be human nature, or perhaps it’s something ingrained(根深蒂固的) in our culture. The root(根源) of the unhappiness isn't necessarily that we want things to be different. However, it's that we decided we didn't like it in the first place. We'vejudged it as bad, rather than saying, “It's not bad or good, and it just is it. ”In one of my books, I said “You should expect people to make mistakes and expect things to go differently than you planned”. Some readers said it’s too sad to expect things to go wrong. However, it's only negative if you see it as negative and judge it as bad. Instead, you could accept it as the way the world works and try to understand why that is.This can be applied to whatever you do: how other people act at work, how politics works and how depressing the news media can be. Accept these things as they are, and try to understand why they're that way. It will save you a lot of sadness, because you'll no longer say, “Oh. I wish bad things didn't happen!”Does it mean you can never change things? Not at all. But change things not because you can't accept things as they are, but because you enjoy the process of changing, learning and growing.Can we make this world a better place? You can say that you’ll continue to try to do things to help others, to grow as a person, to make a difference in this world. That's the correct path you choose to take, because you enjoy that path.

Scientists say this could be dangerous for humans. A report on insect numbers has been published in the journal “Science”. It says the human population has doubled since 1980 while the number of insects has nearly halved. One of the biggest reasons for this loss of insects is the act of cutting down trees or burning them. Many of the places where insects live are disappearing because of new cities and land being used for farming. Another reason is global warming. Scientists say that in the UK, the number of butterflies, bees and wasps(黄蜂) has fallen by up to 60 percent. Many countries are worried about the disappearance of them.Scientists say the decline in insect populations will lead to many problems for humans. One of the biggest dangers is that there will be fewer insects to pollinate flowers. This means that farmers will have problems growing food. The lead author of the report, Professor Rodolfo Dirzo, said falling numbers of insects could also lead to more diseases in humans. He said rats and mice would have less food to eat so they will move to cities and bring diseases with them. Dr. Ben from London University said we needed to stop more insects from dying. He added that scientists must understand what species(物种) are winning and losing in the fight for survival. He said this knowledge would help us to protect the “helpful”insects.12. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?A. The number of insects has fallen by 35 percent in the past 45 years.B. The human population on the earth has nearly halved since 1980.C. The number of insects has been twice as large as that in 1980.D. Bee and butterfly numbers have fallen by 60 percent in the UK.13. Which of the following is NOT the reason for insect disappearance?A. Global warming.B. Terrible weather.C. Appearance of new cities.D. Loss of trees.14. What does the underlined word “pollinate” mean in the second paragraph?A. 播种B. 采摘C. 授粉D. 捕食15. What can be inferred from the passage?A. More diseases will be brought to cities by rats and mice.B. Dr. Ben reminded us to prevent more insects from dying.C. Research on the survival of insects may be helpful to humans.D. In the future, it isn’t important for farmers to grow food without insects.其次节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)依据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Eager to sample this “young people’s first sip of Moutai”, she was curious about how her beloved coffee tastes with Chinese liquor in it. “The aroma (香味) of the alcohol is very strong and is well blended with the milk,” Lin told Teens.The coffee drink, packaged with an iconic Moutai-themed label and containing less than 0.5 percent (alcohol by volume) of 53 degrees Moutai, is priced at 38 yuan, although consumers can get it for 19 yuan using coupons (优惠券).“I admire the spirit of innovation of the two brands, and the spirit is also shared by young people,” said Lin. In recent years, Moutai has embarked on various creative campaigns to appeal to younger customers, introducing products like Moutai ice cream, scented sachets (香囊), and canvas bags.“This creative partnership lets Moutai make its brand younger,” Li Honghui, a marketing director for drinks, told Teens. Li also pointed out that such creative collaborations (合作) can bring benefits to both brands. “Through partnerships, brands can share resources, expand the market, and bring more diversified and innovative products to consumers,” Li said.However, flawed (有缺陷的) partnerships may lead to negative consequences. Take the collaboration between Chinese coffee chain Manner and French luxury brand Louis Vuitton (LV), for example. Consumers could get a free LV canvas bag by buying at least two books in the coffee shop. The two books would cost at least 580 yuan. The campaign was sharply criticized for the high barrier of entry to receive the gift and many people doubted whether it was worth the price.Similarly, in July this year, milk tea brand Heytea (喜茶) and jewellery brand Chow Tai Fook (周大福) jointly launched a peach-flavored drink, which was mocked by Internet users as neither innovative nor tasty. They said that peaches had nothing to do with Chow Tai Fook, and that the drink was too sweet with not enough peaches.“It’s important to ma intain the high quality of the products in these partnerships rather than merely generate hype (炒作),” Li said.4. What did Lin Wanqi think of the new Moutai-flavored latte?A.Bitter. B.Creamy. C.Smooth. D.Aromatic.5. What does Li Honghui say about the partnership between Kweichow Moutai and Luckin Coffee?A.It is a win-win. B.It is creative yet risky.C.It still needs more promotion. D.It sets a good example for the market.6. Why did the collaboration between Manner Coffee and Louis Vuitton face criticism?A.The two brands were completely unrelated.B.Their employees sold the gifts privately.C.The gifts were of low quality.D.The promotional method was improper.The ocean environment has been a heated topic of late. It was discussed and explored during World Water Week, held from Aug 20 to 24 in Stockholm, Sweden. During the week, Naomi Park from the US received the prestigious Stockholm Junior Water Prize 2023 for her research on the removal of carbon dioxide and oil products from the ocean, reported AFP News.The ocean absorbs nearly a third of carbon dioxide emissions in the air, and 1.3 million gallons of crude oil are spilled into oceans every year, according to the Stockholm International Water Institute. Both issues continue to affect the biodiversity of the ocean and human health. In her research, Park developed a method to remove these contaminants.Speaking on winning the prize, Park said it was a project she did in her high school. “I never realized that I would get to this point.”The jury (评判委员会) noted that “the student created a ‘sponge (海绵)’ that absorbs both carbon dioxide and oil products from the ocean. She built a model and tested it — in multiple conditions, even simulating (模拟) ocean waves —with impressive results.”For Park, her exploration of environmental sustainability is motivated by witnessing the local impacts of the climate crisis with her own eyes. “Seeing these changes in your community really makes you believe that the time for action is now,” she said.Her n ext step may be to pursue a patent for the device. Andy Bramante, Park’s teacher and the science research director at Greenwich High School, said seeing young scientists develop their original ideas at this age is very exciting.7. What did Park receive the Stockholm Junior Water Prize 2023 for?A.Her research on climate change. B.Her work on ocean biodiversity.C.Her device for cleaning the ocean. D.Her experiment with ocean waves.8. What does the underlined word “contaminants” most probably mean in the second paragraph?A.Pollutants. B.Advertisements. C.Opponents. D.Dilemmas.9. How did Park feel about winning the prize?A.It was her high school ambition. B.It was beyond her expectations.C.It was a result of her team’s efforts.D.It was the first step to apply for a patent.10. What inspired Park to address environmental issues?A.Her desire for recognition. B.Her teacher’s encouragement.C.Seeing changes in her local area. D.Learning about the value of the ocean.There’s a recent trend of Internet users paying someone to verbally abuse (言语辱骂) someone else. However, the service is not only unacceptable, but also illegal.This behavior is often conducted on social media where some people sell the service. People who seek this service pay them a certain amount of money to have them insult (侮辱) the target online.11“These insults usually hurt their right to reputation, which can lead to civil liability (民事责任),” Xing Junxia, a lawyer, told the press. 12 For instance, the offender has to formally apologize to the victim. Also, both the attacker and the payer bear civil liability as they plan and carry out the verbal abuse together.13 For example, the Internet security department in Qiqihar, Heilongjiang, arrested a man who had been selling this service online. Despite knowing it was illegal, he believed it was an easy way to make money. In the end, he was fined 500 yuan apart from handing over all of his illegal earnings. In the most serious cases, according to Xing, “the verbal abuse can l ead to online violence. 14 ” In this case, the attacker will face criminal liability which can lead to a prison sentence.“The Civil Code includes the principle of public order and good customs,” Xing added. 15 “If your behavior is against public order a nd good customs, you should also bear certain civil liability,” Xing explained.For four long years, Owen Connors had to spend his Saturday afternoons playing rugby (橄榄球) at school.

I just couldn't imagine why she had made her parents so angry.It seemed that Katie had been running up sizable charges in the lunchroom.Her parents explained that Katie brought a great homemade lunch each day, and there was no reason for her to buy school lunch. They wanted to solve the problem, but failed.So they asked me to help them get to the bottom of this situation.So the next day, I asked Katie to my office."Why are you charging lunches, Katie ? What happened to your homemade lunch ?" I asked. "I lose it," she responded. I leaned back in my chair and said, "I don't believe you, Katie." She didn't care."Is someone stealing your lunch, Katie ?" I took a new track. "No.I just lose it," she said.Well, there was nothing else I could do.The problem was still unsolved the next week when I noticed a boy who was new to the school sitting alone at a lunch table.

His name was Alfred Nobel. He was a great scientist and inventor himself. Besides, he had a big business. His business may surprise you. He made and sold explosives. His companies even made and sold weapons. Isn’t this something that surprises you?

He was one of the richest in Europe. When he died in 1896, he left behind him a lot of money and his famous will. According to his will, most of his money was placed in a fund.

Perhaps they were busy talking, texting or checking updates on WeChat without looking at what was going on around them. As the number of this new “species” of human has kept rising, they have been given a new name — phubbers(低头族).Recently, a cartoon created by students from China Central Academy of Fine Arts put this group of people under the spotlight. In the short film, phubbers with various social identities bury themselves in their phones. A doctor plays with his cell phone while letting his patient die, a pretty woman takes selfie in front of a car accident site, and a father loses his child without knowing about it while using his mobile phone. A chain of similar events eventually leads to the destruction of the world.Although the ending sounds overstated, the damage phubbing can bring is real.Your health is the first to bear the effect and result of it. “Constantly bending your head to check your cell phone could damage your neck,”Guangming Daily quoted doctors as saying. “the neck is like a rope that breaks after long-term stretching.” Also, staring at cell phones for long periods of time will damage your eyesight gradually, according to the report.But that's not all. Being a phubber could also damage your social skills and drive you away from your friends and family. At reunions with family or friends, many people tend to stick to their cell phones while others are chatting happily with each other and this creates a strange atmosphere, Qilu Evening News reported.It can also cost you your life. There have been lots of reports on phubbers who fellto their death, suffered accidents, and were robbed of their cell phones in broad daylight.32.For what purpose does the author give the example of a cartoon in Paragragh2? ( )A.To indicate the world will finally be destroyed by phubbers.B.To advertise the cartoon made by students.C.To inform people of the ba d effects of phubbing.D.To warn doctors against using cell phones while treating patients.33.Which of the following is NOT a risk a phubber may have? ( )A.He will cause the destruction of the world.B.His neck and eyesight will be gradually harmed.C.His social skills could be affected.D.He might get separated from his friends and family.34.Which of the following may be the author's attitude towardsphubbing?( )A.Supportive.B.OptimisticC.Opposed.D.Objective.35.What may the passage talk about next? ( )A.Measures to reduce the risks of phubbing.B.People addicted to phubbing.C.some advice on how to use a cell phone.D.Consequences of phubbing.第二节:(共5个小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5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,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
