HANDSTITCHED WORLDS: THE CARTOGRAPHY OF QUILTS
Quilts(床罩) are a narrative art; with themes that are political, spiritual, munal, or memorative, they are infused with history and memory, mapping out intimate stories and legacies through a handcrafted language of design. Handstitched Worlds: The Cartography of Quilts is an invitation to read quilts as maps, tracing the paths of individual histories that illuminate larger historic events and cultural trends.
Spanning the nineteenth to twentyfirst centuries, this insightful and engaging exhibition brings together 18 quilts from the collection of the American Folk Art Museum, New York, representing a range of materials, motifs, and techniques from traditional earlyAmerican quilts to more contemporary sculptural assemblages. The quilts in Handstitched Worlds show us how this toooften overlooked medium balances creativity with tradition, individuality with collective zeitgeist. Like a road map, these unique works offer a path to a deeper understanding of the American cultural fabric.

More than 60 million of them are thrown away each day. Many of the plastic bottles end up in landfills or are burned with other waste products.A San Francisco start-up company called Rothy’s, however, turns this plastic waste into environmentally friendly shoes. Roth Martin is the company’s co-founder. He explains how they turn plastic into soft material for women’s feet. They take the plastic, clean it, and break it down into small pieces. Then they press them through a device that makes soft fibers. Those fibers are then combined together. This is done by a 3D machine. It is designed to reduce waste while making the shoes. The knitted stuff and the inner part of the shoe are then attached to the shoe’s outer part, called the sole (鞋底). This outer sole is also made from environmentally friendly material: responsibly sourced no-carbon rubber.Rothy’s shoes are sold online. They are flat shoes, with either a rounded or pointed toe. They come in different colors and designs. They cost either $ 125 or $ 145 per pair, depending on the design. After American actress Gwyneth Paltrow discovered them last year, the demand for the shoes grew. Martin says there is no shortage of material to fill that demand. “We’re not going to run out of water bottles any time soon. So we have a limitless supply of material, and I think thatis a good sign for our future.” When the environmentally friendly shoes wear out, customers can return them at no cost to a company that uses the recycled materials to make other products.For now, the shoes are only available to be shipped in the United States. However, the company says it will add international shipping in the near future.4．What does the underlined word knitted in the third paragraph mean?A．attached B．combinedC．fixed D．repaired5．Which of the following directly helped to increase the sales of Rothy’s shoes?A．The design and color.B．The reasonable price.C．The star power of Gwyneth Paltrow.D．The company’s advertisement.6．What is the purpose of the text?A．To introduce a new way of recycling plastic waste.B．To describe the process of making shoes.C．To advertise a new kind of shoes.D．To stress the importance of environmental protection.3.（8分）CThere was a gardener who looked after his garden with great care. To water his flowers，he used two buckets(水桶).One was a shiny and new bucket. The other was a very old and dilapidated one，which had seen many years of service，but was now past its best.Every morning，the gardener would fill up the two buckets. Then he would carry them along the path，one on each side，to the flowerbeds. The new bucket was very proud of itself. It could carry a full bucket of water without a single drop spilled. The old bucket felt very ashamed(惭愧的)because of its holes: before it reached the flowerbeds，much water had leaked(渗漏)along the path.Sometimes the new bucket would say，"See how capable I am! How good it is that the gardener has me water the flowers every day! I don’t know why he still uses you. What a waste of space you are!"And all that the old bucket could say was，"I know I am not very useful，but I can only do my best. I am happy that the gardener still finds a little bit of use in me ，at least.’’One day，the gardener heard that kind of conversation. After watering the flowers as usual，he said，"You both have done your work very well. Now I am going to carry you back，and I want you to look carefully along the path."Then the two buckets did so. All along the path, they noticed，on the side where the new bucket was carried，there was just bare earth；on the other side where the old bucket was carried，there was a joyous row of wild flowers，leading all the way to the garden.7．What was the old bucket ashamed of?A．Its past.B．Its aging.C．Its manner.D．Its leaking. 8．What does the underlined word "dilapidated" probably mean?A．Dirty.B．Dark.C．Worn out.D．Ordinary-looking.9．The new bucket made conversations with the old one mainly to________.A．take pity on the old one B．laugh at the old oneC．show off its good look D．praise the gardener's kindness10．Why was the old bucket still kept by the gardener?A．Because it was used to keep a balance.B．Because it stayed in its best condition.C．Because it had its own advantage.D．Because it was thought of as a treasure.二、阅读七选五（本题共计1小题，总分10分）4.（10分）二：七选五（每小题2分，满分10分）When the winter comes, millions of Americans realize they don’t feel as happy as usual, and may be depressed If you’re one of them, you may be suffering from “seasonal affective disorder” or SAD, whose symptoms include exhaustion, difficulty concentrating, sleep problems, body aches and pains, and a loss of interest in activities you normally enjoy. 11．Take extra Vitamin D．Researchers at the University of Georgia analyzed more than 100 articles that examined the link between Vitamin D and depression.

Below are some of my favorite dark sky destinations around the world.The Aoraki Mackenzie International Dark Sky Reserve, New ZealandThe Aoraki Mackenzie International Dark Sky Reserve is one of the best places in the country to view the night sky. Comprised of Aoraki/Mt Cook National Park and the Mackenzie Basin of Aotearoa New Zealand's South Island, the Dark Sky Reserve was certified in 2012 to continue protecting the dark skies in the area.Stargazing(天体观察)enthusiasts should plan a visit to Mt John Observatory, tours of which must be booked in advance.The Wild Atlantic Way, IrelandMost visitors go to Ireland's western Wild Atlantic Way to explore beyond hot spots like Dublin and Cork, but the route is also fast becoming a great region for stargazing, thanks to the efforts of local communities along the Way.If planning a trip, keep in mind that Ireland does have wet months where overcast skies are more likely to affect your stargazing prospects.Wadi Rum, JordanWadi Rum is also sometimes called "The Valley of the Moon", though you're more likely to compare it to Mars if you visit it. Famous for its otherworldly landscapes in movies like Prometheus, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story and The Martian, Wadi Rum's towering red rock formations are extremely interesting to explore by day, and offer protection from any distant light pollution once the sun sets.Stargazing in Wadi Rum is a breathtaking experience and reminds us how our ancestors have experienced the night sky for thousands of years.21. What might be a disadvantage of stargazing inIreland?A. Conservation efforts.B. Heavy tourism.C. Customer service.D. Local climate.22. What sets Wadi Rum apart from the other dark sky destinations?A. Unusual landscapes.B. Ancestors' experiences.C. Its geographical location.D. Its local film studios.23. What is the purpose of the text?A. To compare things.B. To inform readers.C. To warn readers.D. To announce something.BLee hyun-seok grew up in South Korea addicted to Japanese manga (漫画) series such as “Dragon Ball” and “Slam Dunk”. As soon as he could, he migrated to Tokyo to build a successful career as a manga artist and editor. Then in the early 2000s came “webtoons”（网络漫画）, a South Korean cartoon innovation optimized for smartphones. Mr. Lee was at first unimpressed. Compared with manga’s inventive graphic styles and profound plots, he found webtoons just the opposite.Yet Japanese manga is being eclipsed（黯然失色）by Korean webtoons. Last year the manga print market shrank by 2.3% to ¥265bn ($1.9bn). The size of the global webtoons market was meanwhile valued at $3.7bn. Manga is going digital slowly, in part because it is still designed for print, so awkward to read on smartphones. Seeing which way the wind was blowing, Mr. Lee abandoned manga for the webtoon industry in 2014.Though webtoons such as “Itaewon Class” and “Solo Levelling” have become popular among Japanese consumers, most Japanese publishers have stuck stubbornly to manga. “The Japanese industry is very conservative,” sighs Mr. Lee. The manga industry’s business model, in which stories are first published in weekly magazines and then in books, has hardly changed since the 1960s. Webtoons have grown so fast, in part because they can be read more easily. Other recent South Korean exports, such as the Netflix sensation “Squid Game” and BTS, a boy band, have taken the world by storm thanks to the same combination of innovation and smart marketing behind webtoons.Some are concerned about the future. Japan’s manga fans are, like all its population, aging. The average reader of the Weekly Shonen Magazine, a manga for children launched in 1989, is now over 30. “Manga could end up as old people’s culture,” warns Mr Lee. “Children these days are viewing through webtoons on their smartphones. Why not make something that suits their taste?”24. What did Mr Lee think of “webtoons” in the early 2000s?A. He considered it as inventive.B. He considered it as attractive.C. He considered it as original.D. He considered it as shallow.25. Why does the author mention numbers in paragraphs 2 ?A. To confirm the advantages of smartphones.B. To share the popularity of Japanese manga.C. To introduce the influence of webtoons industry on Japanese manga.D. To compare Mr. Lee’s career as an artist and an editor.26. What can we learn from Japanese manga?A. Japanese manga can be read more easily.B. Since the 1960s, the manga has grown so fast.C. The manga industry is unwilling to transform.D. “Squid Game” was adopted from Japanese manga.27. What is Mr. Lee’s attitude towards manga’s future?A. Worried.B. Aggressive.C. Confident.D. Annoyed.CAs athletes get stronger and faster, the pace of play continues to increase. The burden of making sure games are played according to the rules and that the officiating (裁判) is accurate is now being taken out of human hands and falling more and more into the lap of technology. It's called the video replay.The National Football League is expanding its replay system this upcoming season to include pass interference (传球干扰). Major League Baseball now relies on it for safe-or-out and home run calls. If you've been watching the FIFA World Cup, you may have noticed that the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) played a key role in almost every game. And in the Kentucky Derby, a horse was disqualified for knocking another horse. No one knew why until a video replay confirmed the call and controversy was avoided.However, many purists—those who want people to follow rules carefully and do things in the traditional way—especially in soccer, argue it's not the way the game was invented, and that the video replay is tainting the sport. But don't you want to see the proper application of the rules throughout the games? I know I do. Yes, it can slow the game down, but I feel it is worth it. If technological advancements allow fans watching from home to spot mistakes instantly, those sameviews need to be available to the officiating crews. Another example occurred in the most recent National Football Conference (NFC) Championship Game between the Los Angeles Rams and the New Orleans Saints. When obvious pass interference was committed by the Los Angeles Rams player Nickell Robey-Coleman, with just 109 seconds to play, no flag was raised on the field. It weakened the New Orleans Saints spirits. The Los Angeles Rams won a 26-23 overtime victory. The no-call deeply angered the public. The video replay showed the referees had just missed one of the most apparent pass interference calls.There are no easy answers regarding replay technology and whether it is a curse (魔咒). But for me, keeping the officiating honest and on task is the right step in limiting controversy.28. What trend in sports can be observed in paragraph 2?A. The video replay has been widely used.B. League games have become competitive.C. Rules of professional games are becoming stricter.D. People are showing more interest in sports than before.29. What does the underlined word “tainting” in paragraph 3 mean?A. Tricking.B. Promoting.C. Damaging.D. Restoring.30. What might the New Orleans Saints think of the referees in the NFC Championship Game?A. They relied a lot on the video replay.B. They cared too much about details.C. They were definitely stressed out.D. They were terribly disqualified.31. What would be the best title for the text?A. Video replays: high-end technology in sportsB. Is technology like VAR a blessing in sports?C. Officiating: a duty that requires honestyD. What do qualified referees really mean?DOne key element of human language is semantics(语义). Scientists had long thought that unlike our words, animal vocalizations (发声) were involuntary, reflecting the emotional state of the animal without conveying any other information. But over the last four decades, numerous studieshave shown that various animals have distinct calls with specific meanings.Many bird species use different alarm calls. Japanese tits, which nest in tree holes, have one call that causes their baby birds to get down to avoid being pulled out of the nest by crows, and another call for tree snakes that sends them jumping out of the nest entirely. Siberian jays vary their calls depending on whether an enemy is seen looking for food or actively attacking—and each call gets a different response from other nearby birds.Two recent studies suggested that the order of some birds' vocalizations may impact their meaning. Though the idea is still controversial, this could represent a basic form of the rules governing the order and combination of words and elements in human language known as syntax (句法), as illustrated by the classic "dog bites man" vs. "man bites dog" example.Even if some birds share basic aspects of human language, we still know very little about what’s actually going on in their minds. Most animal communication research has focused on describing signals and behavior, which on the surface can look a lot like human behavior. Determining if the underlying cognitive(认知的) processes driving the behavior are also similar is much more challenging, as at the heart of this question is intentionality: Are animals merely reacting to their environment, or do they intend to convey information to one another?32. What was scientists’ long-held belief about animal vocalizations?A. They conveyed no emotion.B. They were semantically related.C. They varied greatly with species.D. They expressed no intended meaning.33. How does the author develop paragraph 2?A. By listing data.B. By giving examples.C. By providing definition.D. By making comparison.34. What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 3 refer to?A. What birds’ vocalizations mean.B. How rules govern human language.C. What the two recent studies indicate.D. How bird’s vocalizations are combined.35. What does the last paragraph mainly tell us?A. Shared aspects of human and birds’ languages.B. Focus of most animal communication research.C. Underlying cognitive processes of birds’ vocalizations.D. Insufficient knowledge about birds’ communication intentionally.第二节根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项.（共5小题,每小题2.5分,共12.5分）Revenge bedtime procrastination (报复性睡眠拖延症) refers to the decision to delay sleep in response to stress or a lack of free time earlier in the day. The addition of the word “revenge”, by the Chinese, to the concept of bedtime procrastination became popular on social media. 36Both language versions reflect frustration tied to long, stressful work hours that left little time for personal enjoyment.People who engage in bedtime procrastination know and generally want to receive enough sleep.37 This is known as an intention-behavior gap.Bedtime procrastination can cause sleep deprivation (缺乏). 38 Not getting enough sleep affects thinking, memory, and decision-making. Sleep deprivation also raises the risk of daytime sleepiness, which can harm productivity and academic achievement while increasing the risks of sleeping driving.39 It causes difficulties in regulating emotions. It’s also been connected to mental health disorders, such as depression and anxiety. It is also discovered that sleep deprivation worsens physical health, making people more easily to suffer from illnesses. Ongoing sleep loss consequences can build up over time. Therefore, it contributes to significant long-term health problems.The best solution for bedtime procrastination is creating good sleep patterns and a good sleeping environment. 40A. But they fail to actually do so.B. The Chinese are noted for working long hours.C. A lack of sleep is tied to mental and physical health.D. But remember that it will take more than one night to truly get into good sleep habits.E. We struggle to stay productive during the day to make up for the loss.F. Without enough hours of sleep, the mind and body can’t properly recharge.G. The English term “revenge bedtime procrastination” appeared from a translation of this expression.第三部分语言知识运用(共三节,满分30分)第一节完形填空(共15小题,每小题1分,满分15分)阅读下面短文,从短文各题所给的A、B、C 和D四个选项中,选出可填入空白处的最佳选项.Dr Max is a thoughtful and devoted expert.

Without his mother knowing, Andy had been saving up his pocket money for months to buy her a birthday present. He had collected a total of $25.As a cleaner at a nearby park, Emily never took a bus, choosing to walk to and from work to save money. One day, Andy noticed that her mother came home wet to the skin. She told him her umbrella broke because of the strong wind and she wanted to get home in time to have dinner with him.The following day, his mother woke up with a fever. “Mom, I’m sure you have to stay in bed today” Andy told her. “I’ll look after you. Here is your medicine,” he said, handing her a glass of water. Then, Andy left the house and walked towards the nearby supermarket to buy vegetables with which to cook some so up for his mother.It occurred to him that his mother’s birthday was in a couple of days, so he decided to get his mother an umbrella first and spend the rest of his money on food.“What is your strongest umbrella here, sir?” he asked the shop assistant. “I am looking for one that won’t break easily.” The man showed Andy a variety of umbrellas. Andy believed the purple one would be the best choice, his mother’s favorite color. It was $22. Andy almost jumped with joy! The boy was happy that he managed to lend his mom a hand by finding her something she really needed. Also, he even had some money to re!Stepping out of the shop with the gift and vegetables in his shopping bag, Andy realized it was starting to rain. He was running to a nearby bus stop to seek shelter with other people when he noticed an old lady walking slowly and struggling for a balance. It was pouring down. Without hesitation, he took the umbrella out of his bag and ran over.Paragraph1：The old lady looked up and realized an umbrella was sheltering her from the rain. She cast him an appreciative look with a beam of delight." Thank you. And by the way, it’s wise to get an umbrella before the rain started pouring," she said. Andy shook his head, telling her that his mom’s umbrella was broken, and he wanted to get her a new one she could use for years." I didn’t expect that. But it must be very nice to have a caring boy like you," she replied, helping Andy to wipe off the raindrops on the umbrella. They exchanged a knowing look and waved goodbye after the rain stopped.注意：1. 续写词数应为80词左右;2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答.3.续写第一自然段已给出.Paragraph 2:Anxious about his sick mom, Andy rushed home, all over wet.____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________高二英语答案听力理解（1-20小题,每小题1.5分,共30分）1-5 ACBCB 6-10 CAABA 11-15 BBBAC 16-20 ACBAC阅读理解（21-35小题,每小题2.5分,共37.5分）21-23 DAB24-27 DCCA28-31 ACDB32-35 DBCD补全对话（七选五）（36-40小题,每小题2.5分,共12.5分）36-40 GAFCD完形填空（41-55小题,每小题1分,共15分）文本解读：本文是记叙文,主要讲述了作者在进行结肠镜检查时,医生所表现出的同理心,让作者很是温暖.多年以后,作者对这一幕都记忆犹新,认为医生对病人的同理心很重要.41.C.考查名词.根据文本大意作答.句意：我非常认同Max医生的信念：医生所显示出的同理心对于病人评估自己所接受的治疗很关键.mission使命.42.A.考查名词.解答此题的关键是后置定语received.病人在医院里接受的应该是治疗.43.D.考查形容词.根据本句作答.句意：因为没有使用镇静剂,在进行结肠镜检查时,我使用学到的控制疼痛的法子尽力使自己不紧张.sensible明智的.44.D.考查动词.根据本句作答.generate产生；maintain维持；rid 去除.45.C.考查动词.根据本句作答.句意：在仪器检查我的肠部时,医生注意到我在哼着小曲.outline 概述；勾勒轮廓.46.B.......据本句作答.justify证明......合理.47.B.考查名词.根据上句作答.句意：医生问我哼的什么曲子,我说是Puff the Magic Dragon,并解释说只会其中的两句歌词.48.A.考查动词.根据本句作答.whisper低声说,耳语.49.C.考查名词.根据下句作答.eition版本；title标题.50.D.考查动词.根据本句作答.句意：伴随着我哼的小曲,医生吹起了口哨,说自己也只记得两句.51.A.考查动词.根据本句作答.句意：他让实习生去搜索歌词.实习生表现出犹豫时,他解释说任何能帮助病人走过艰难过程的事情都是值得一做的.52.B.考查名词.根据本句作答.infection感染53.C.考查动词.根据上句及本句作答.句意：（装备）现在有了歌词,在余下的检查时间里,我们一起唱这首歌.confront面对.54.A.考查动词.根据本句作答.句意：多年以后我不仅记得这一幕,当被采访时,我的建议是学习这位医生对待病人的态度,因为同理心很重要.55.D.考查形容词.根据文本大意和第一节第二句作答.demanding要求高的.语法填空（56-65小题,每小题1.5分,共15分）56. has fetched 57. arousing 58. which 59. economic 60. crowded61. the 62. but 63. stressed 64. awareness 65. about书面表达（40分）第一节：应用问写作（20分）【范文】Aiming to help the students from poverty-stricken areas, the Students’ Union launched a grand Charity Sale last Friday at our School’s stadium, which witnessed the kindness and generosity of all the students and teachers present.p.m.cheduled, the activity began at 3:00 p.m., lasting three hours.

More than 515 million guests have traveled to this American landmark from around the world since the park first opened to guests on July 17, 1955. The park consists of many world-famous sections, such as Main Street, Adventure land, New Orleans Square, and so on.Magic Kingdom, Disney World, FloridaMagic Kingdom is a theme park within the Walt Disney World Resort in Lake Buena Vista, Florida, near Orlando opened on October 1, 1971. It is the most famous theme park in Florida. The park’s design and attractions don’t make much difference from Disneyland Park in Anaheim.EPCOT, Disney World, FloridaEPCOT is the second theme park built at the Walt Disney World Resort near Orlando, Florida. The park opened on October 1, 1982, and was named EPCOT Center from 1982 to 1993. It was the largest Disney theme park in the world until 1998, when Disney’s Animal Kingdom opened.Disney-MGM Studios, FloridaMGM’s streets are the home for some great movie-themed attractions with a history of less than 30years. With the addition of the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror and the Rock and Roller Coaster, the park is now home to Disney World’s most thrilling rides.Universal Studios, FloridaGo behind the scenes, beyond the screen and jump right into the action of your favoritemovies at Universal Studios, the number one movie and TV theme park in the world. 1．What’s the purpose of the passage?A．To attract tourists to these theme parks.B．To introduce world’s best amusement parks.C．To increase the sales of Amusement Today.D．To compare attractions in different theme parks.2．Which of the following theme parks have similar attractions?A．Disneyland & Universal Studios.B．EPCOT & Disney-MGM Studios.C．Disneyland & Magic Kingdom.D．Magic Kingdom & Universal Studios.3．Which park has the longest history?A．Disneyland, California.B．Magic Kingdom, Disney World, Florida.C．EPCOT, Disney World, Florida.D．Disney-MGM Studios, Florida.2.（8分）BIf you thought pilots dimmed（调暗）the lights before takeoff to give you some shuteye, think again. Believe it or not, the dim lighting could actually help save your life in case of a plane emergency.The dimmed lights before taking off the runway and landing are a flight precaution used to help passengers’ eyes adjust quicker during an emergency escape. “Going from a brightly lit environment to one that’s completely dark would require some time for our eyes to focus and see the escape slide,” Alice Theriault, service director for Air Canada wrote in a press statement. “Since we need to have all the seconds on our side in the event of an emergency, dimming the lights is one of many steps we take to ensure the safety of our customers.”The phenomenon that your eyes see those strange speckles (小斑点) as your sight adjusts toa dark place after being in a light place is called dark adaptation. It normally takes our eyes about20 to 30 seconds to see best in a dark room. The brighter the lights, the longer it takes for our eyes to adjust, which is why dimming the plane lights could shorten your “dark adaptation” timesince you haven’t been sitting under fluorescent bulbs (荧光灯) all flight.Not only does dimming lights add valuable time to the escape process, but it reduces the tension on your eyes if you need to look outside, or see the emergency lighting along the passage. “It helps keep you in the right direction.” Patrick Smith, an airline pilot and author of Cockpit Confidential told The Telegraph. “It also makes it easier for flight attendants to assess any outside risks, such as fire or debris, that might affect an escape.” So next time a pilot dims the lights, just know it’s for your safety, even though it creates a gentle atmosphere for your takeoff into the sky. 4．The lights are turned down before takeoff to help passengers_______.A．escape in time of emergencyB．take a short breakC．create a comfortable atmosphereD．enjoy themselves5．Which of the following is true according to Paragragh 2 and 3?A．Dimming lights is required when accidents happen.B．Our eyes need some time to adapt to the change of light.C．Speckles are caused by the use of dimmed lights.D．It is required for pilots to turn off lights during the flight.6．What is the function of shortening “dark adaptation” time?A．Slowing down the landing.B．Adjusting the plane lights.C．Keeping passengers calm.D．Helping the crew judge outside risks.7．What is the text mainly about?A．A tip to make air travel safer.B．An emergency event happening on a plane.C．An explanation of an airline safety measure.D．A warning message from the pilot.3.（8分）CHundreds of villagers took matters into their own hands by digging miles of trenches（沟壕）to install their own cables(电缆). The tiny village in Michaelston-y-Fedw, with a populationof 300, clubbed together after being unable to download films, stream music or connect to online banking. Farmers, teachers and even the village pub owners put in thousands of hours of volunteering to dig miles of trenches and now have super fast broadband(宽带).The project cost around ￡250,000 with villagers paying￡150,000 of their own money to secure their super fast connection speed. They were also able to obtain￡100,000 from EU funding and the Welsh Government Access Broadband Cymru scheme.The idea was produced in the local pub when villagers were complaining about their Wi-Fi connections. Ben Longman, owner of the Cefn Mably Arms, said, “We were in the pub and we were all complaining about how bad the Wi-Fi was. I had just paid for high speed broadband and realized it would not work.”One of the organizers, Carina Dunk, 61, said it was fantastic what the village had achieved. She said, “It used to take a few days to download a film; now it takes less than a minute. Communities have tended to be more distant and separated but not here anymore. Sometimes we have to take a step back and achieve something.”A year after the project, most of the 300 villagers are now united in a 1,000mps broadband connection.However, Richard Raybould, 59, is still waiting for his house to be connected on the edge of the village and said he cannot wait. He said, “It is amazing what skills people in the community have. There are experts and farmers who dig trenches. I have met at least 30 people who I had never spoken to before.”8．What can we learn about the villagers?A．They had no access to the Internet.B．They usually didn’t have much free time.C．They didn’t know how to use the Internet correctly.D．They considered their Internet connection disappointing.9．To have their own cables, the villagers had to_______.A．partly cover the costB．employ workers to dig trenchesC．donate ￡100,000 to EU fundingD．get the local government’s permission10．What does the author intend to do by mentioning Carina Dunk’s words?A．Explain the cause of the project.B．Explain the process of the project.C．Show the benefits from the project.D．Show the villagers’ attitudes toward the project.11．What would be the best title for the text?A．Villagers obtain access to the InternetB．Villagers dream of super fast broadbandC．Villagers volunteer to install super fast broadbandD．Villagers are suffering from bad Wi-Fi connections4.（8分）DWhy are photos and videos of cats high-fiving suddenly popping up on social media?Ask Jackson Galaxy, who launched Cat Pawsitive last year, a program that encourages animal shelters to teach cats how to do tricks to make them more attractive for adoption.The idea is simple. A kitty that can sit on command or give a high five shows that it can listen to instructions and connect with others. A high five can make a shy cat open up, Galaxy said.“Big life changes can lead to cats losing their confidence, and we help those cats to feel more confident and to feel safe interacting with new people.” Christie Rogero, program manager for Cat Pawsitive, said.And Stephen Holdeman, training manager at the KC Pet Project, added: “All we need to train a cat to do tricks is the right amount of patience, timing and motivation.” He uses a technique called “operant conditioning (操作性条件反射)”, which associates a cat’s action with getting a reward such as a favorite food or treat.He also uses a clicker—a training device that makes a clicking noise. “In the initial stage, we get the cat used to the idea that when it hears the sound of the clicker, one of its favorite treats appears. After we have bridged these two ideas together we can use the clicker to reinforce different actions the cat does to let it know that if it repeats the action, it will get a treat.”After several repetitions, the cat starts to link everything together. Now all you need to do is let your extended hand be the target, and we’ve got a high five.12．According to the text, how can learning tricks benefit cats at animal shelters?A．It is a good way for shelters to raise money.B．It allows them to pick up skills to stay safe.C．It helps them interact more with each other.D．It helps them build confidence and get adopted.13．According to the text, what should be done from the start to train cats to learn tricks? A．Teaching them different actions.B．Teaching them how to use a clicker.C．Making them patient enough to repeat actions.D．Helping them connect the sound of a clicker with treats.14．What does the underlined word “reinforce” in paragraph 6 probably mean?A．record B．strengthenC．ignore D．reward15．What is the main purpose of the article?A．To explain how to train cats to perform tricks.B．To show how cats are treated at animal shelters.C．To describe the popularity of cats on social media.D．To inform us of a program that trains cats to do tricks.二、阅读七选五（本题共计1小题，总分10分）5.（10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的A-G选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

How many people questioned don't play with their children?A. 1280.B. More than 333.C. 654.D. About 420.62. The study leads us to believe that _____________.A. the pets in the UK will be in trouble if their owners keep their way of lifeB. Glasgow people feel ashamed because they don't get enough exerciseC. British people are the laziest around the worldD. five sixths of the British children are healthy63. How does the author convince the readers?A. By presenting the results of a study.B. By providing answers to questions.C. By interviewing some experts.D. By telling a story.64. What is the passage mainly about?A. A study of British people's laziness.B. A study of British people's lifestyles.C. The health service in the UK.D. The obesity problem in the UK.BOften, words come out of our mouths without us thinking about the effect they will have. But we should be aware that our words cause certain responses in others. For example, when returning an item to a store, we might use warm, friendly language during the exchange. And the clerk will probably respond in a similar manner. Or harsh（刻薄的）and critical language will most likely cause the clerk to be defensive.Words possess power because of their lasting effects. Many of us regret something we once said. And we remember unkind words said to us! Before speaking, we should always ask ourselves: Is it true? Is it loving? Is it needed? If what we want to say doesn’t pass this test, then it’s better left unsaid.Words possess power: both positive and negative. Those around us receive encouragement when we speak positively. We can offer hope, build self-esteem（自尊）and motivate others to do their best. Negative words destroy all those things. Will we use our words to hurt or to heal? The choice is ours.65. The main idea of the first paragraph is that .A. words have a lasting effect on usB. inspiring words give us confidenceC. negative words may let us downD. not sticks and stones but words will hurt us66. There is no sense for us to feel embarrassed when we talk to ourselves because .A. almost everybody has the habit of talking to themselvesB. talking to ourselves always gives us courageC. we can benefit from talking to ourselvesD. it does no harm to have “self-talk” when we are alone67. The underlined part in the third paragraph means that we should also timely .A. remind ourselvesB. praise ourselvesC. make ourselves relaxedD. give ourselves amusement68. The author would probably hold the view that .A. encouraging words are sure to lead to kind offersB. negative words may motivate us to make more progressC. people tend to remember friendly wordsD. it is better to think twice before talking to othersCFlying across the globe, whether on business or for leisure, is usually effortless——you just have to book your ticket, pack your bags and show up at the airport with your passport.

He walked in the streets of Brooklyn day after day with his favourite music blasting directly into his ears. By his early 20s, Michael had lost much of his upper-range hearing.The children’s Hearing Institute reports th at hearing loss among children and young adults is rising in the United States, and that one-third of the damage is caused by noise.Surrounded by NoiseWe live in a noisy world. Young and old alike are beset by sounds over which we may have little or no control: power mowers, leaf blowers, snow blowers, car and house alarms, sirens, motorcycles, Jet Skis, loudspeakers, even movie previews.We attend rock concerts, weddings, parties and sports events at which the music is so loud you can hardly hear the person sitting next to you. At home, televisions, stereos and computer games are often turned up so loud that listeners cannot hear a doorbell or a telephone. Many “modern” restaurants have chosen noisy enhancement instead of abatement (减轻). Any time you need to shout to be heard by someone near you, your hearing is most likely to be in a decibel (分贝) danger zone.As if environmental noise were not enough, now we surround children with noisy toys and personal listening devices that can permanently damage their hearing. Toys that meet the safety standards of the American Society for Testing and Materials can produce sound up to 138 decibels, as loud as a jet taking off. Yet workplace rules require hearing protection for those exposed tonoise above 85 decibels.Introduction A boy lost much of his hearing due to being 1. __________ to headphones. Problem More and more children have suffered hearing 2. .3. of the problem ·Environmental noise from:a) power mowers, leaf blowers, snow blowers, etc;b) the music at rock concerts, weddings, parties and sports events which4. __________ us hearing someone nearby;c) televisions, stereos and computer games 5. __________ than doorbellsor telephone calls;d) “modern” restaurants.·Noise from:toys and listening devices which cause 6.__________damage to hearing.7.to the problem ·Monitor the volume of toys.·8. __________ gifts making loud noise.·Limit children’s time spent in video arcades.·9. __________ taking children to loud action movies.六、单词拼写（11分）3.Mary got a t______________ job in summer holidays.

四川省绵阳市南山中学双语学校2023-2024学年高二上学期12月月考英语真题卷
四川省绵阳市南山中学双语学校2023-2024学年高二上学期12月月考英语真题卷学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解Heroes Stamp Design CompetitionWelcome to the Heroes Stamp Design Competition! Children aged 4-14 years are invited to design a stamp. Eight designs will be chosen for this stamp series from the Royal Mail. One of the designs could be yours. There are 120 great prizes on offer for area winners and runners-up. Plus, cash prizes for the winning school too.Stamp DesigningThe stamp design will be based on your hero or heroes of the coronavirus pandemic (新冠肺炎疫情). The past year has been very difficult for so many people. There are countless frontline workers and volunteers who have continued to work tirelessly to keep the country moving.Being a stamp designer is a very skilled job. One of the jobs of a stamp designer is to reduce the size of a picture to fit the stamp. When designing your stamp, have a think about what kind of image of your hero or heroes would make a good miniature (微生物) design for a stamp. The final stamps will be about 3.7cm wide×3.5cm high.Things to consider● Your stamp design must be drawn on the official competition entry form which your teacher will give you.● Your design must be your own original work.● Drawings must be flat, so please don’t stick any materials or textures (纹理) to your design.● Please use lots of colour (no black and white images) in your design.● Please avoid using highlighter pens.Good LuckThe closing date for the competition is 28th May. Please ask your teacher, or parent, for one of the official entry forms. You’re then ready to start designing! We can’t wait to see all of the amazing designs from gifted children across the country.Good Luck!1．Who would probably take part in the competition?A．Students B．DoctorsC．School teachers D．Professional designers2．What do we know about the competition?A．It will begin on 28th May.B．It is for a series of four stamps.C．It asks competitors to honor heroes on their stamps.D．It will provide each competing school with cash prizes.3．What is a requirement for the stamp design?A．It should be black and white.B．It should be drawn with highlight pens.C．It should be flat with textures.D．It should be drawn on a given formIn the 19th century, tuberculosis (肺结核) epidemics were spreading over Europe and the United States, killing an estimated one out of seven people. In ancient Greece, Hippocrates called it “the most considerable of the diseases.”The fight against tuberculosis reached a turning point on March 24, 1882, in a small meeting room of the German Physiological Society at Berlin. A doctor named Robert Koch used more than 200 microscopic preparations to identify the bacterium that causes tuberculosis: tubercle bacillus.In 1872, Koch took up the post of district physician in what is today Wolsztyn, Poland. His patients, many of them farmers, were dying from anthrax, an illness that destroyed their cows.Koch set out to solve the anthrax riddle. First, Koch visited anthrax-stricken farms to observe the cows. He witnessed how a healthy animal would die in a matter of days as its blood turned black. People in close contact with sick cows and sheep also fell ill. Examining drops of black blood from dead cows under his microscope, Koch spotted structures shaped like thin grains of rice, which blood from healthy animals did not have. These germs were Bacillus anthracis.To see if the bacteria were the cause of the illness, Koch designed his own testing methods. First, he soaked (浸泡) a wood splinter (碎片) with a sick animal’s blood; then he made a small cut at the base of each mouse’s tail and inserted (插入) the splinter into their bodies. The next morning, the mice were dead. When Koch checked their bodies, he found the same microscopic structures in their blood.In 1880, Koch’s team perfected his plate technique (技术) for generating pure cultures of bacteria, which was crucial in identifying the cause of tuberculosis. In 1890, he announced he had found the cure for tuberculosis. He called the medicine tuberculin, a substance taken from tubercle bacilli. The news gave rise to enormous hope around the world, but tuberculin turned out to be a major disappointment. More than ineffective, it even contributed to the death of some patients. To this day, no completely effective vaccine for tuberculosis has been found, but tuberculin has become a crucial part of testing for the disease.4．Why does the author mention Hippocrates in paragraph 1?A．To introduce the spread of tuberculosis.B．To show the huge impact of tuberculosis.C．To explain the concept of tuberculosis.D．To describe the history of tuberculosis.5．What did the turning point suggest?A．People found a cure for anthrax.B．Fewer people died from tuberculosis.C．Tuberculosis-causing bacteria were recognized.D．Anthrax stopped spreading beyond animals.6．How did Koch identify the cause of anthrax?A．He fed a mouse with a dead cow’s food.B．He inserted a wood splinter into a cow’s tail.C．He infected healthy mice with a sick animal’s blood.D．He examined a dead person’s blood under his microscope.7．What can we learn about the medicine Koch invented?A．It has cured many people.B．It was taken from healthy people.C．It was an effective tuberculosis vaccine.D．It has been used in testing for tuberculosis.Turning 18 is a big deal when you are a teenager. It means you are responsible for yourself and don’t need your parents’ permission any more. However, there are lots of opinions about when one becomes an adult. Some are based on science, while others are personal opinions. While currently the age is 18, science supports 25 as a more sensible agefor adulthood, and I agree.While studying the brain of teenagers, scientists have learned that when kids are around l8, their prefrontal cortex (前额皮层) is only halfway developed. The prefrontal-cortex helps people set and achieve goals by receiving signals from different regions of the brain to process information and adapting accordingly. That halfway development means that you still have things to learn and your brains still have time to develop until the age of 25.Some people think going off to college and living on your own qualify (使……具有资格) san adult, while others may believe having a steady income and being able to afford to live on your own are what make you an adult. Not everyone has a fortunate life where they have family that can provide support; there are situations where you are forced to become an “adult” whether you like it or not.In the foster care (寄养) system, once a child turns 18, he or she is considered an adult and can no longer receive state-sponsored support. These children are forced into a life where they have no family or anyone to support them other than those who were there for them in the system.Having a quality job will allow you to supply yourself with necessary things to live and help you become a more mature and responsible person. Also, going through difficult times and realizing life isn’t as easy as it seems, should qualify someone as an adult.8．What is the author’s attitude toward considering 25 as an age for adulthood?A．Cautious.B．Uncaring.C．Doubtful.D．Positive. 9．How does the prefrontal cortex work to help people set and achieve goals?A．By dealing with received signals and responding accordingly.B．By collecting information from other parts of the body.C．By sending instructions to different regions of the brainD．By transporting sensed emotions and making records10．What does the author intend to do in paragraph 3?A．Give a definition of adulthood.B．Stress the importance of family support.C．Prove not everyone lives a fortunate life.D．Show opinion on becoming an adult is divided11．What is one standard qualifying you as an adult according to the author?A．Setting up a family.B．Being responsible for your study.C．Accepting and learning from the low moments in life.D．Buying yourself quality things to live.Teenagers across the world eagerly await the day they become legal adults, to be free from the dependence of their parents and to practice the full rights of their citizenship. The situation is no different in South Korea. Here, the legal age of adulthood is 19. Ten years ago, the legal age was 20, but this was lowered by a year in 2013 based on recognition of the early maturity of modern teenagers. Now, from their 19th birthday onwards, South Korean teenagers can vote, get married and work full-time.Unlike most other countries, the South Korean government celebrates this transformation into adulthood with an official “Coming-of-Age Day”, which falls on every third Monday of May. Its first written record of celebrating adulthood dates back to the Goryeo Dynasty, where King Gwangjong gifted Prince Wang Juan outfit (服装) reserved for male adults in 965.By the late Jose on Dynasty, the ceremony marking adulthood developed into a full-grown event for the middle and upper classes, celebrated by their 15-year-olds. In this period, one of the most symbolic changes that adults-to-be went through was that boys would tie their long flowing (飘逸的) hair into a topknot (结) and cover it with at all black hat made of horsehair; likewise, girls put their hair, which they let fall as single braids (辫子) in youth, up into an eat knot and set it with a long hairpin (发簪).Today, the traditional coming-of-age ceremonies still live on, supported largely by government and public interests. But a set of very different customs has also been added. Unless they apply to participate in publicly-held ceremonies or attend schools that provide these series, 19-year-olds celebrate the third Monday of May the modem way, by having a nice meal with family or drinking with their friends.12．What led to the legal age of adulthood being lowered by a year in South Korea?A．The requirement for youth’s earlier practice of voting rights.B．The determination to satisfy teenagers’ expectations.C．The plan to reduce economic pressure on families.D．The realization of youth’s earlier maturity.13．Who received South Korea’s first recorded coming-of-age celebration according to thetext?A．Frince Wang Ju.B．King Gwangjong.C．An upper-class 15-year-old in the Jose on Dynasty.D．A middle-class 15-year-old in the Goryeo Dynasty.14．What marked the important change in celebrating adulthood during the Jose on Dynasty?A．A new type of hairstyle B．A specific birthday outfit.C．Making one’s own hat with horsehair.D．Replacing short hairpins with long ones. 15．What does the last paragraph suggest?A．Publicly-held ceremonies require group application.B．Traditional ceremonies should be more widely practiced.C．Teenagers nowadays prefer to celebrate adulthood at home.D．Society has seen broadening ways of adulthood celebration.Being “a grown-up” is a pretty unclear concept, even once you’re technically “grown-up”. My career has taken its fair share of twists and turns in the past three years sinceI graduated, and in some ways I feel like I’m still only starting to figure out what I want to do.16 . So if you’re still pondering the question, here’s my advice for making the best of it.17In some ways, in decision about the future allows you to have a much more open mind about various career choices than those who’ve always known exactly what they want to do. If you limit yourself too much, you could miss the opportunity to join an exciting new startup, develop a great business idea, or try something unexpected that you might love.Accept that the landscape is always changingWhile it may have once made sense to dream about being a doctor, lawyer, or professional ballet dancer, many of the jobs open to you now are ones you didn’t know about as a child. 18 . The job that fits you could be one you’d never even imagined at age 10, 25, or even 40.Redefine (重新定义) “grown-up”The concept of being a “grown-up” means that there’s a finish line to a personal and professional life that is, in reality, always changing. 19 this discovery will likely be the result of much trial and error, and you’ll probably find yourself fighting for new goalsthroughout much of your life.20 Being grown-up means being satisfed with the journey you’ve chosen and enjoying the many different roads you’ve followed.A．Do somethingB．Embrace uncertaintyC．Even if the job has its disadvantagesD．The Internet transformed the professional landscape in totally unexpected waysE．Truthfully, that grown-up person your childhood self once dreamed of might not exist F．And I’ve learned that it’s OK not to know what you want to be even at a grown-up ageG．While you can hope that you’ll one day find a hobby or career that you’re enthusiastic about二、完形填空The first time you make a speech is truly a special moment, and I will surely never21．A．smart B．shy C．honest D．impatient 22．A．planning B．choosing C．fearing D．promising 23．A．primary B．high C．art D．medical 24．A．list B．contribution C．note D．deal 25．A．along with B．as for C．except for D．instead of 26．A．give B．understand C．hear D．support 27．A．pain B．difference C．work D．fun 28．A．surprisingly B．proudly C．easily D．obviously 29．A．extremely B．increasingly C．occasionally D．hardly 30．A．political B．scary C．stupid D．emotional 31．A．recorded B．remembered C．shared D．taught 32．A．came across B．cared about C．applied for D．got through 33．A．pressure B．fortune C．confidence D．interest 34．A．arguing with B．depending on C．running for D．working against 35．A．thanks to B．regardless of C．in response to D．in exchange for三、语法填空rocks 45 order.

According to a study whichwas published on March 16 in the journal PLOS Genetics, people who live in a placewith warm and moist conditions commonly have wider noses while those that live in cold and dry locations have narrower noses.Mark Shriver, a geneticist and anthropologist（人类学家)at Pennsylvania State University, together with his team of international researchers from the United States,Ireland and Belgium, measured and compared noses across populations using 3D facial imaging.The study is not the first one to identify the relationship between nose shape and air temperature and moisture content. However, it is the first one to use nose measurement from actual people.“Many people have tested the question with measurements of the skull, but no one had done measurements on live people, " said lead author Mark Shriver from Pennsylvania State University.As reported by Science Recorder, all in all, faces of 476 from four geographical locations —West Africa, East Asia, South Asia and Northern Europe were used in the study. However, their ancestry genetic measurements were also taken into consideration.The researchers concluded that while the differences in nose shape were indeed inluenced by genetie drift, which refers to the change in frequency of certain genes due to deaths and movement of people across borders,natural selection also played its role.Narrower nasalpassages assist in increasing the moisture content of air and warm it.Since peopl e with narrower ones adapted better,they survived more and therefore produced more offspring. As such,there is a gradual decrease in people with wider nose in the area.24.People in the South of China generally tend to________.A.have wider noseB.have narrower noseC.be more easygoingD.enjoy dry and cold weather25.How did Marker's researchers do their research?A.By studying the skulls.B.By doing research online.C.By measuring noses of the people.D.By offering more moisture for people26.Which of the following can influence nose shapes?A.Body height.B.Local tradition.C.Local climateD.Body weight.27.What are people with narrow nose able to do?A.Raise more of their children.B.Adapt to cold weather better.C.Survive in hot weather conditionsD.Keep their ancestry from their parents.8.（8分） CKannisto and her six sons visited a local barber' s shop to have their hair cut and donatedit to an organization that provides hair replaeements for kids with medically related hair loss.Kannisto has a l0-year-old son, Andre, 8-year-old twin sons, 5-year old triplets and a 2-year-old daughter.Kannisto said the motivation behind the haircuts was personal for the whole family.“Three years ago, my friend lost her son to cancer, " she said.“He was a twin and very close in age to my twins. On the first anniversary of his passing. my three oldest boys donated theirhair in his memory. Since their donation two years ago, our lives have continued to be touched by cancer. It's everywhere. My boys want to help, and donating their hair is how they do it.”Her three oldest sons participated in donating for the first time in 2015.The donation afew days ago marked the first time her triplets were able to contribute. Kannisto said they waited until everyone’s hair reached the minimum length for donations before they all got their haircuts. It took quite some time for everyone to be ready.Andre grew his hair out for a year, the twins grew their hair for almost two years and the triplets grew their hair for five years. They're already planning their next donation, too, since their little sister wants to participate.Her hair wasn't long enough to donate this time.She said her sons had been teased a lot for their long hair since they decided to grow it outand donate it. They explain the process of hair donation to their peers, but some of them just don't get it. Luckily, her sons have developed “a thick skin” and ignore the criticism,knowing they 're helping others in need.Kannisto is “so proud” of her boys and thinks that their mission is“amazing.”28. What does the underlined word “triplets”in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. Three sons.B.Many relatives.C. Kids with hair loss.D. Children with caneer.29.What is the reason for Kannisto's sons donating their hair?A.Both fame and wealth.B. Their personal cure to cancer.C. Their memory of a lost friend.D. Modeling themselves on their parents.30.Why did the Kannistos have to wait before the donation?A. The little sister's hair was too short.B. Every child's hair grows at different rates.C. It's long before somebody wants their hair.D. They must find a right barber to have their hair cut.31. What is Kannisto's children's attitude towards others'tease?A. Inspired.B. Annoyed.C. Desperate.D. Indifferent.9.（8分）DWhether a single parent or otherwise, bringing up a child can be quite a discouraging experience as well as being a lot of fun. As a parent myself, I wanted my child to have the lifeI never had, so I enrolled my daughter in all types of activities such as dancing, piano lessons，theatre groups and sports acti vities. I had her privately tutored for maths and even looked into private schooling. While all of this is good for developing a child's confidence, it's no guarantee that the child will grow to fit your expectations in later life.In some cases a child may inwardly resent(憎恶)the pressure of being involved in so many things all at once, and become bored over a period of time. One of the best ways toreally encourage your child to do well in life is to be the example for them. Children usually follow in the footsteps of their parents or at least one of them.This is how family businesses are handed down through generations.Believe it or not, the parent is the greatest mentor(导师)and influence in the life of a child. It's interesting to note that they judge their own measure by that of their parents even if they don't get along with them, it takes place unconsciouslyYoung minds will follow their mentors such as parents and teachers. So it's not surprising that if you sign yourself into adult education classes.chances are your child will be keen to follow you even if it' s later in their life.Leading by example is the best way to educatechildren of all ages.It's not difficult when children get to know your movements.Children will almost always judge themselves on what their parents do. The strongest influences are in and around what you do in the home and even outside of it, so make sure your ticking all the right boxes yourself and it's a win situation.32 According to the text, what the author had done for her daughter ________.A. proved to be of little valueB. resulted in great suecessC. greatly influenced her later lifeD. cost the author too much money33. How are some family businesses handed down from parents to children?A. Children are interested in the businesses.B. Children follow in the parents'footsteps.C. Parents allow the children to run the businesses.D. Children have received enough education.34. How should we educate our children?A.Read to them successful storiesB. Set good examples to them.C. Find them qualified mentorsD. Let them gain different experienees35. Why should parents behave themselves well?A. Children hate too much pressures on them.B. Children can never believe themselves easily.C. Children know little about their movements.D.Children will follow their examples.三、阅读七选五（本题共计1小题，总分10分）10.（10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项.选项中有两项为多余选项。

Sometimes you'll get your words mixed up( 混合) and people will not understand you. Sometimes people will say things too quickly and you can' t understand them. But if you keep your sense of humor ( 幽默感), you can always have a good laugh at the mistakes you make. Don't be unhappy if people seem to be laughing at your mistakes. It's better for people to laugh at your mistakes than to be angry with you, because they don't understand what you are saying.

Her family was very poor. She decided to help her family even when she was very young, so she learned to use a gun, and began hunting (打猎) animals for food. She could shoot them without losing the important parts of the meat．Soon her shooting ability became well known. When she was sixteen, she was invited to a competition with a famous marksman (神枪手), Frank Butler. Annie surprised everyone by winning the competition. Later that year she and Frank married.In 1882, Annie Oakley and Frank Butler started putting on shows together. Frank Butler was the star of the show and she was his assistant. The famous Native American leader, Sitting Bull, thought so highly of her shooting ability that he called her “Little Sure Shot”. Later Annie Oakley became the star of the show and Frank Butler was her assistant. Posters (海报) for the show called her the “Champion Markswoman”.During World War One, Annie Oakley wanted to train a group of women volunteers for the army, but the United States did not accept it. She gave American soldiers shooting lessons, and traveled across the country visiting many training camps.

Haven't you noticed that you have become smarter since you started to learn a language?According to a new study by a British university, learning a second language can lead to an increase in your brain power. Researchers found that learning other languages changes grey matter. This is the area of the brain which processes information. It is similar to the way that exercise builds muscles.The study also found the effect is greater, the younger people learn a second language.A team led by Dr Andrea Mechelli, from University College London, took a group of Britons who only spoke English. They were compared with a group of "early bilinguals" who had learnt asecond language before the age of five, as well as a number of later learners.Scans showed that grey matter density(密度) in the brain was greater in bilinguals than in people without a second language. But the longer a person waited before mastering a new language, the smaller the difference."Our findings suggest that the structure of the brain is changed by the experience of learning a second language," said the scientists.It means that the change itself increases the ability to learn.Professor Dylan Vaughan Jones of the University of Wales, has researched the link betweenbilingualism and maths skills．"Having two languages gives you two windows on the world and makes the brain more flexible(灵活的), "he said．"You are actually going beyond language and have a better understanding of different ideas."The findings were matched in a study of native Italian speakers who had learned English as a second language between the ages of two and 34．Reading, writing, and comprehension were all tested. The results showed that the younger they started to learn, the better．"Studying a language means you get an entrance to another world," explained the scientists.13.The main subject talked about in this passage is ______ .A．science on learning a second languageB．man’s ability of learning a second languageC．1anguage can help brain powerD．1anguage learning and maths study14．In the second paragraph, the writer mentions “exercise” in order to ______ .A．say language is also a kind of physical laborB．prove that one needs more practice when he(she) is learning a languageC．to show the importance of using the language when you learn the languageD．make people believe language learning helps grey matter work well15．The underlined word “bilingual” probably means ______ .A．a researcher on language learningB．a person who is good at learning foreign languagesC．a person who can speak two languagesD．an active language learner二、阅读七选五（本题共计1小题，总分10分）5.（10分）第二节七选五（共5小题，每题2分，共10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

江苏省射阳中学2023-2024学年高二上学期12月月考英语试题
江苏省射阳中学2023-2024学年高二上学期12月月考英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读选择Once Popular Sports in Ancient Capital Xi'anThe ancient capital Xi'an in Northwest China's Shaanxi province is holding the National Games. As the capital of 13 dynasties throughout Chinese history, the ancient city has never been far from sports. Starting from the Western Zhou Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty, the city has held many sports events.Cuju: Origin of modern soccerCuju was an ancient Chinese competitive game involving kicking a ball through an opening into a net. As the ancestor of soccer, it first appeared in the renowned ancient Chinese historical work Zhan Guo Ce（“Strategies of the Warring States”）, which describedCuju as a form of entertainment among the general public. Later, cuju was commonly played in the army for military training purposes, during the Han Dynasty.Jiaodi: Chinese-style wrestlingSumo, known as Japan's “national sport”, actually started in ancient China. Sumo was called jiaodi or jiaoli in ancient times. Ancient jiaodi,a Chinese-style wrestling, was performed by athletes wearing ox horns and wrestling with each other imitating wild oxen. During the Sui and Tang dynasties, jiaodi was highly favored by emperors. In the Tang Dynasty, jiaodi was part of military training and a kind of entrainment and athletic sports.Jiju: Ancient poloJiju is a sport which uses a stick to hit balls while riding on a horse, pretty similar to modern polo. It was popular in the royal court and among common people in the Tang Dynasty. There were many fields for playing polo in the court and it was also a major military training program in the army. In the Tang Dynasty capital, there were formal polo courts, such as the stadium pavilion in Chang' an palace.ArcheryDuring ancient times, the origin of archery was closely related with hunting and defense. Ancient archery was not only an athletic event,a military training program, and an entertainment activity, but also part of education. As early as in Zhou Dynasty, the archerywas listed as one of the six practical disciplines, also called the Six Arts, becoming an important and competitive form.1．Which was popular in the army during the Han Dynasty?A．Cuju.B．Jiaodi.C．Jiju.D．Archery.2．How did people play Jiju in Tang Dynasty?A．Only by riding a horse.B．By hitting balls wearing ox horns.C．By kicking a ball through an opening into a net.D．By hitting balls while riding on a horse with a stick.3．What did the four games have in common?A．They were only for entertainment.B．They all disappeared late gradually.C．They were military training programs.D．They all originated from Han Dynasty.When you hear the beginning of your favorite song from the radio, suddenly your neck is covered in goose bumps.It's such a thing that a group of scientists call “skin excitement”—a feeling of cold caused not by a drop in temperature or sudden scare, but by the sense of beauty. “Skin excitement” can come from a song, a painting, a moving movie scene, or even a beloved memory-pretty much anything that causes the giving out of pleasure-soaked dopamine in your brain. But it does not come for all of us.Your favorite music uncovers a lot about your personality，and so does how you respond to that music. Studies suppose that as few as 55 percent of people experience “skin excitement” when listening to music. And if you count yourself among this group, the goose bumps on your skin aren't the only giveaway—scientists can read it in your brain, too. In a new study published in the journal Social Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience, Harvard researchers performed brain scans on 10 students who said they reliably got cold when listening to music, and 10 students who didn't. They found that the cold-prone brains may really be excited by stronger emotions.Cold-prone brains are generally more likely to show stronger emotional intelligence thanno-cold brains. Cold-prone minds tend to have unusual active imagination, reflect more deeply on their emotions, and appreciate nature and the beauty of music and art to a stronger degree than no-cold brains.So, what type of music causes the chills? It seems that the type is not so important; participants in the new study reported getting cold from songs of every kind. And any song connected with a strong emotional memory of the listener can produce the most reliable results. For me, that's the song Sailing to Philadelphia by Mark Knopfler, which I listened to as a kid in the car with my dad, on the way to the summer camp.4．What can we learn about “skin excitement” in the text?A．It helps to produce doparmine.B．It is caused by the pain in the skin.C．It can be experienced by every music listener.D．It is the human body's reaction to something nice.5．What does the new study by Harvard researchers mainly find?A．The percentage of music lovers in students.B．The solutions to the goose bumps on one's skin.C．The differences between cold-prone and no-cold brains.D．The relationship between one's music preference and personality.6．What are people with cold-prone brains like?A．Beautiful and intelligent.B．Emotional and dishonest.C．Imaginative and sensitive.D．Brave and strong-minded.7．Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A．Responses to Music V ary among People B．A Feeling of Cold Is Caused by Horrible MusicC．Your Favorite Music Reveals Your Personality D．Favorite Music May Bring Forth Goose BumpsDetecting drugs used to be a special job for dogs, but now a drug detection team is welcoming some new colleagues-squirrels. Six Eurasian red squirrels were trained and approved for work responsibilities by police in Chongqing in February.Squirrels have a sharp sense of smell as they can smell food under a foot (about 30 centimeters) of snow. Being so small and quick, the “newcomers” are able to search for drugs in places where dogs may not be able to reach, such as in narrow spaces or on top of packagesstacked (堆) high in warehouses. The squirrels have been trained to use their claws to scratch at boxes in order to catch their handlers’ attention if they detect drugs, according to local Chongqing police authorities.“Our self-developed training system can be applied to the training of various animals,” Yin Jin, a police dog handler in Chongqing, told Global Times, adding that the training has really good results as the squirrels can quickly identify drugs. Although the system is designed for dogs, it can show some information on how squirrels are trained as well.According to a research article published in the journal China Working Dog which details the program，conditioning the animals' reflexes (反射) is the key factor. First，the animals are familiarized with the target’s smell and do special gestures when they smell their target. For example, for explosive detection dogs, the handlers place pieces of cloth with the smell of the explosives next to the dogs’ food.Next, the animals learn to search for the target under various conditions. From a large number of luggage bags to people walking in crowds, the handlers create different situations to test the animals. If the animals successfully identify the location of the target, the animals are then rewarded with snacks and other treats. The animals are soon able to search for targets spontaneously (自动地), showing that the conditioned reflex has been built in them. Their training ends with practice sessions in real-life scenarios.8．What would the squirrels do once they identify drugs?A．Use their claws to take the drugs.B．Enjoy treats from the handlers.C．Scratch at the surface of packages.D．Search for drugs with the same smell.9．What is one advantage of using squirrels for drug detection mentioned in the article?A．Squirrels can detect drugs hidden under the earth.B．Squirrels are better at identifying explosives than dogs.C．Squirrels can access narrow spaces or high packages in warehouses.D．Squirrels requires less training compared to police dogs for drug detection. 10．What is of vital importance for the animals’ successful detection?A．Developing the immediate reactions of animals.B．Familiarizing the animals with the target’s smell.C．Doing special gestures when they smell their target.D．Involving practice sessions under different conditions.11．Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?A．The Role of Animals in Drug DetectionB．A New Member in the Drug Detection ForceC．The Challenges of Training Squirrels for Drug DetectionD．Chongqing Police’s Training Program for Sniffer AnimalsA star athlete at the college where I work recently stopped by my office. After committing a few unforced errors during a weekend match, she was tom apart by self-criticism. “I can’t stop beating myself up,” she told me. “I’m at peak fitness, and I practice hard. How is this happening?”Many students I teach, like this athlete, believe that all-nighters in the library and hours on the field should get them exactly where they need to go. When they fall short of what they imagine they should accomplish, they are crushed by self-blame.We talk often about young adults struggling with failure because their parents have protected them from discomfort. But there is something else at play among the most privileged in particular: a false promise that they can achieve anything if they are willing to work for it.Psychologists have sourced this phenomenon to a misapplication of “mind set” research, which has found that praising children for effort will increase academic performance. But a recent analysis found that while praising effort over ability may benefit high-risk or economically disadvantaged students, it does not necessarily help everyone.The cruel, messy reality is that you can do everything in your power and still fail. Instead of allowing our kids to beat themselves up when things don’t go their way, we should all question a culture that has taught them that feeling anything less than overwhelmed means they’re lazy, and that where they go to college matters more than the kind of person they are. It’s suggested that parents and teachers spend time helping students find purpose, or goals they genuinely love to pursue and that make an impact on the world, which may help them gain greater life satisfaction and become more psychologically mature.The point is not to give our kids a pass on working hard. But we would be wise to remind our kids that life has a way of sucker-punching us when we least expect it. It’s often the people who learn to say “stuff happens” who get up the fastest.12．Which sort of students does the star athlete belong to?A．Those lacking courage to make self-criticism.B．Those tired of working all night in the library.C．Those believing hard work surely pay off.D．Those overprotected by their parents in life.13．What can we learn from Paragraph 4?A．Praising effort over ability will surely be beneficial to all kids.B．The result of the “mindset” research doesn’t apply to all cases.C．Parents should lay more emphasis on their kids’ academic performance.D．Whether praising kids’ effort over ability does good to kids depends. 14．According to the author, how can parents help the kids overcome barriers in life?A．By choosing where to go to college for them.B．By pushing them to fight against the cruel reality.C．By discouraging them from making efforts to study hard.D．By encouraging them to stick to a worthy cause they truly love.15．What can be inferred from the passage?A．Students should not expect too much from their study.B．Students with positive attitudes can move on more easily.C．Students should bear all the failures on their own.D．Students are sure to succeed if they try their best.Science can help you improve your study methods. For more than 100 years，tips to improve your study habits.Space out your studyingNate Kornell，a psychologist at Williams College，thinks it's a good idea to study the day before a big test. 17 . Instead，space out those study sessions. Kornell compares our memory to water in a bucket that has a small leak. Try to refill the bucket while it's still full，and you can't add much more water. Allow time between study sessions，and some of the material may drip out of your memory. But then you'll be able to relearn it and learn more in your next study session.Practice，practice，practice!Musicians practice their instruments. Athletes practice sports skills. 18 . "If you want to be able to remember information，the best thing you can do is practice，" says Katherine Rawson. She's a psychologist at Kent State University in Ohio. In one 2013 study，students took practice tests over several weeks. On the final test，they scored more than a full letter grade better，on average，than students who studied the way they normally had.Test yourselfNebel's preferred study habit is one of the best way. Before big tests，Nebel's mom quizzed her on the material. “Now I know that was retrieval（检索）practice，”she says. As Nebel got older，she quizzed herself. “ 19 ，” Nebel suggests. “Put questions on one side and the answers on the other side and try to quiz yourself the way the teacher asks questions，”she adds.Dig deeperIt's hard to remember a string of facts and figures if you don't push further. Ask why things are a certain way. How did they come about？Why do they matter？Psychologists call this elaboration. It's taking class material and asking a lot of how and why questions about it. This helps you combine new information with other things you know. And it creates a bigger network in your brain of things that relate to one another，she says. 20 .A．The same should go for learningB．Some tips help for almost every subjectC．Of course，nothing can replace studying with your motherD．Some experts hold that studying late at night can be really usefulE．That larger network makes it easier to learn and remember thingsF．Create a pack of flash cards every time you learn new informationG．But research shows it's a bad idea to force all your studying into that day二、完形填空Back in the days when I was just a young student, I was always absent from schoolgradually accept the challenges thrown at me.One rainy afternoon, while walking home from school, an accident happened.
