湖南省部分学校2024-2025学年高三上学期阶段检测联合考试英语试卷一、阅读理解Scratchboard (刮板画) is a technique where the artist scratches away ink to reveal a color underneath, usually white. This scratchboard lesson plan is a great way to teach students the importance of highlights in an artwork. It forces them to think in reverse to pull the image from the surface.Overview and purpose: Students will learn the importance of highlights and lighter values in the creation of artworks. Students will learn the process of scratchboard etching (蚀刻).Materials: 9'' by 12'' scratchboard paper, graphite (石墨), ink, scratchboard tools or razor blades, ballpoint pens (optional).Delivery of info: Students will be presented with a demonstration of scratchboard. It is best to demonstrate this technique through the use of a document camera or with smaller groups of students. Graphite can be used to draw the preliminary drawing on the scratchboard paper. Students will then draw images on the surface and use either etching tools or razor blades to scratch away the lighter values and complete a scratchboard etching.Guided practice: Students will work while the teacher walks around and monitors progress. Students will have 7 days to complete the assignment.Address: The 3rd floor, Municipal Art Museum.1．What is the feature of scratchboard?A．Painting with different pens.B．Drawing on the layer below.C．Scratching the ink on the board’s surface.D．Etching some colorful images on a board.2．What will be used in the presentation of this art?A．A lot of graphite B．A document camera.C．Some etching tools.D．Some ballpoint pens.3．What is the purpose of the text?A．To promote a lesson.B．To sell some artworks.C．To introduce a new art.D．To attract more travelers.Somewhere in California, just up a hill from the beach is a high school, where students will meet before traveling to neighboring San Clemente High School on a Saturday fora 2-mile walk to raise money to build a well in a Kenyan village.Most Kenyans live where clean water is hard to access. The good news is that water that falls in the rainy season is stored far underground, sometimes as deep as 900 feet. But bringing it to the surface can be a challenge. Sometimes, it requires heavy-duty equipment. Shallower wells are less costly but still require manpower and technology to work. A single well can supply water to an entire village, and this can be life-changing.Weeks before the first annual Healing Hands for Water Walk Fundraiser event in 2012, students walked in the beach town and asked for donations from businesses. They covered a lot more distance than the 2 miles they would cover during the event as student organizers Branner Grimsley, Klara Gundelach and Solveig Erngren pounded on the boardwalk. “But it was worth it to make a difference by helping these people in Africa,” Grimsley said.Standing on the boardwalk and looking out over the sand to the horizon and beyond, you can see a lifeline reaching from a few dedicated kids to a similar group of kids in an African village. The connection was hard to imagine at first but now seems so real. Students on both sides of the world walk under the same sun. On other days, they would have different places to go, but today, they walk for the same reason: to share the bond of being one human family.In another Kenyan village, a well was completed. As the villagers excitedly operated the hand pump, the anticipation built. Within minutes, a trickle of clean water flowed, then a gush. It was a miracle in such a dry village. Buckets were filled, and children splashed water. The tears of joy flowed as easily as the well water.4．What can we know about building wells in Kenya from paragraph 2?A．It’s costly and useless.B．It’s easy and interestingC．It’s challenging but cheap D．It’s difficult but worthwhile.5．Why does paragraph 4 mention the connection?A．To praise the event’s participants.B．To show the difficulty of the event.C．To share the bond of the human family.D．To highlight the significance of the event.6．What is the last paragraph mainly about?A．The excitement of building a well.B．The requirement for completing a well.C．The joyous sight of drawing water from a well.D．The quality of the water from a local village’s well.7．Which of the following may be the best title for the text?A．From the Beach to KenyaB．Students’ Walk on the BeachC．Walking to a Neighboring SchoolD．Kenya’s Struggle for Clean WaterWhen the sun reaches its peak activity, known as solar maximum, its magnetic (磁的) field will reverse (逆转). This happens roughly every l1 years, marking an important stage in the solar cycle. It indicates the halfway point of solar maximum, the height of solar activity, and the beginning of the shift toward solar minimum.The last time the sun’s magnetic field flipped was toward the end of 2013. To understand the magnetic field’s reversal, first, it’s important to be familiar with the solar cycle. This approximately 11-year cycle of solar activity, driven by the sun’s magnetic field, is indicated by the frequency and intensity of sunspots visible on the surface. The height of solar activity during a given solar cycle is known as solar maximum, and current estimates predict it will occur between late 2024 and early 2026.“But there is another important, less-known cycle, the Hale cycle. This magnetic cycle lasts approximately 22 years, through which the sun’s magnetic field reverses and then reverts to its original state,” Ryan French, a solar astrophysicist, said.“During solar minimum, the sun’s magnetic field is close to a dipole (偶极子), with one north pole and one south pole, similar to Earth’s magnetic field. But as we shift toward solar maximum, the sun’s magnetic field becomes more complex, without a clear north-south poleseparation,” French said. By the time solar maximum passes and solar minimum arrives, the sun has returned to a dipole.The upcoming switch in polarity will be from the northern to southern magnetic field in the Northern Hemisphere and vice versa in the Southern Hemisphere. “This will bring it to a similar magnetic orientation to Earth, which also has its southern-pointing magnetic field in the Northern Hemisphere,” French explained.8．How does the author lead in the topic?A．By citing an instance.B．By showing a difference.C．By giving an interpretation.D．By making a comparison9．What is the relationship between the sun’s magnetic field and the solar cycle?A．Uncertain.B．Close.C．Strange.D．Indifferent. 10．Why did French mention Earth’s magnetic field?A．To make his reasons clear.B．To make his experiments convincing.C．To make his prediction accurate.D．To make his explanation specific.11．What does the underlined word “orientation” in the last paragraph mean?A．Emergency.B．Direction.C．Response.D．Procedure.For the past 20 years, I’ve searched libraries and the Internet for others who are thinking about the possible effect of the breakdown of multigenerational families. I’ve been surprised at how few resources exist on this topic. It’s the main reason I chose to finally write Family Revision.While I’ve expected one of the countless marriage and family writers and thinkers to address this topic, none seem to really understand that the transition (转变) from multigenerational families to nuclear families is at the root of so many of the other symptoms they discuss.Well, the silence on this topic was finally broken and it was not from a traditional family publication but from David Brooks, The New York Times columnist writing for The Atlantic. In an article nearly the length of a dissertation on this subject, Brooks masterfully exposes the rootproblem with the modern family.In the article, Brooks wrote, “When we discuss the problems the country is facing, we don’t talk about family enough. It feels too judgmental, too uncomfortable, and maybe even too religious. But the fact is that the nuclear family has been collapsing in slow motion for decades, and many of our other problems — with education, mental health, and the quality of the labor force — stem from that breakdown. We have left behind the family structure of the past. For most people it’s not coming back.”Many Americans are hungering to live in multigenerational families, in the way that is new and ancient at the same time. This is a significant opportunity, a chance to thicken and broaden family relationships, a chance to allow more adults and children to live and grow under the loving gaze of a dozen pairs of eyes, and be caught, when they fall, by a dozen pairs of arms. For decades we have been eating at smaller and smaller tables, with fewer and fewer relatives. It’s time for a change.12．Which word can best describe the breakdown of multigenerational families?A．Damaging.B．Extraordinary.C．Meaningful.D．Ineffective. 13．What does the author think of Brooks’ article?A．It’s a tradition.B．It’s a victory.C．It’s a comparison.D．It’s a breakthrough.14．What can be inferred from Brooks’ article?A．Most Americans have health problems.B．America is facing a sea change in society.C．Focusing on family-related issues is urgent.D．People benefit from the present family structure.15．What is the author’s attitude to the structure of multigenerational families?A．Dismissive.B．Approving.C．Unclear.D．Doubtful.The frequency of bathing usually depends on your age. It’s more than likely that older people, babies and young children have dry skin, which can lead to eczema (湿疹). 16 . For most people who have relatively normal skin, bathing every day is OK, and there are things you should pay attention to when taking a shower.Skin hydration (水合作用) is ensured by the bricks-and-mortar structure of the dead skin cells on the surface, which are bound together by natural moisturising (保湿) materials such as ceramides. Together, they keep moisture in your skin and prevent it from fading, but frequent bathing can wash this barrier away. 17 . After showering, apply moisturising cream while your skin is still damp, to lock in that moisture, rather than drying yourself thoroughly and then applying cream.18 , but most exfoliating (使死皮脱落) cleaning products can cause scratchs on the skin. In general, if you want to exfoliate, acid-based accelerators, such as glycolic or lactic acids, are more gentle. When it comes to your feet, products containing urea, which breaks up dry and dead skin cells, will soften better than abrasive scrubs.19 . If you have sensitive skin, avoid heavily sweet-smelling soaps, which contain additives that can cause irritation or allergic reactions.In general, soapy water will run down your legs and feet anyway. The upper leg and groin area is the part you should wash regularly, because it can become colonised by pathogens. 20 A．People often want to cleanse their skinB．So taking a reasonable number of baths is good for themC．It is important to choose a soap that suits your skin typeD．When purchasing cleaning products, you must be cautiousE．To protect them, avoid taking too hot and too long showersF．Anyway, you’d better wash thoroughly to remove all the soap remainsG．Remember to always have a break after your bath to keep your skin healthy二、完形填空Last month, I attended a cultural festival in the centre of our city, where we celebrated the theme of kindness through some exhibitions.

From towering concrete pillars to sculptural modernist domes (穹顶), the work of Balkrishna Vithaldas Doshi defined Indian architecture for the latter half of the 20th century. Known as B．V. Doshi,projects to the Indian Institute of Management in Bangalore. Sadly, the great architect died on January 24,2023, at the age of 95, leaving behind a fascinating legacy.Born on August 26, 1927, in Pune, southeast of Mumbai, Doshi grew up with his father and grandfather, a furniture maker. As a child he came to appreciate how their house grew and changed. In 1947, shortly before Indian independence, he began architecture school. However, he never finished, a fact which he’d later point to in life as an advantage. He married his wife Kamala Parikh in 1955. When she passed away, Doshi lived in a house he designed and named for his beloved wife.Doshi was influenced by the famous Swiss-French architect known as Le Corbusier. Doshi studied with him in Paris and then returned to India to supervise the architect’s work in Ahmedabad. In 1956, Doshi founded his own firm called Vastushilpa. He traveled the world lecturing at universities, worked with other famous architects, and even founded the Center for Environmental Planning and Technology (now CEPT University) focusing onunderstanding, designing, planning, constructing and managing human habitats.“We did not want to imitate someone else’s approach,” he told the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art in 2018.“We wanted to find our own identity.” He drew from his pride in Indian culture to create a style distinct from Western designs. “I think of my buildings as my friends, my family,” he said. “I have a conversation with them, and that’s how I create niches and staircases and openings and gardens…my buildings are not only pure and clear but designed to anticipate changes.Aside from his modern works, Doshi was devoted to creating works to benefit the poor. He designed the Aranya Low Cost Housing Project in Indore. The photographer Iwan Baan, who photographed some of Doshi’s works, described the artist as “the most approachable architect I know. Even very poor people in his public housing projects knew him, which is exceptional.”4．Which of the following can replace the underlined word “versatile” in paragraph 1?A．Popular.B．modestC．forward-looking.D．well-rounded5．What do we know about Doshi’s life?A．He had a miserable childhood.B．He regretted leaving school early.C．He made a contribution to higher education in architecture.D．He set up his company under the guidance of Le Corbusier.6．What does the author want to illustrate by quoting Doshi’s words?A．The public support for Doshi.B．The originality of Doshi’s works.C．Doshi’s open mind on changes.D．Doshi’s love of architectural design.7．What is the purpose of the text?A．To give a brief account of Doshi’s life.B．To encourage people to visit Doshi’s works.C．To remember India’s great architect Doshi.D．To advertise Doshi’s architectural philosophy.PFAS are found in nonstick pans, water-proof fabrics and food packaging. They’recalled forever chemicals because of their ability to stick around and not break down. Now, using a bit of heat and two relatively common compounds, researchers have degraded (降解) the chemical in the lab.While some scientists have found relatively simple ways of breaking down select PFAS, most degradation methods require harsh processes using intense pressure — in some cases over 22 mega-pascals — or extremely high temperatures — sometimes upwards of 1,000℃ — to break the chemical bonds.William Dichtel, from Northwestern University in Evanston, and his team experimented with two substances found in nearly every chemistry lab; sodium hydroxide (氢氧化钠), also known as lye, and a solvent (溶剂) called DMSO. The team worked specifically on a group of forever chemicals which contain a large percentage of PFAS.When the team combined chemicals with the lye and DMSO at 120℃ and with no extra pressure needed, the carbolic acid (羧酸) fell off the chemicals and became carbon dioxide. “What happened next was unexpected, ” Dichtel said. The loss of the acid helped degrade the chemicals into fluoride ions (氟离子) and smaller carbon-containing products, leaving behind no harmful by-products.“It’s a neat method; it’s different from others that have been tried,” says Chris Sales, an environmental engineer at Drexel University in Philadelphia who was not involved in the study. “The biggest question is how this could be adapted and scaled up. Understanding this mechanism is just one step in undoing forever chemicals,” Sales said.This process wouldn’t work to deal with PFAS in the environment, because it requires a concentrated amount of the chemicals, but it could one day be used in wastewater treatment plants, where the pollutants could be filtered out of the water, concentrated and then broken down.8．What can we learn about the previous ways to break down PFAS?A．They’re eco-friendly.B．They’ve been widely used.C．They’re difficult to operate.D．They’re regarded as useless.9．What did the team do in their experiment?A．They experimented with different solvents.B．They tried two very common substances.C．They tested every group of forever chemicals,D．They exposed chemicals to extreme temperatures.10．What made the researchers most surprised in their experiment?A．Environmentally-friendly reactions occurred.B．The carboxylic acid became carbon dioxide.C．No extra pressure was needed for the trial.D．The lye and DMSO could work at 120℃,11．What can we infer from Chris Sales’ words?A．It is difficult to deal with PFAS in the environment.B．This mechanism will soon be used in the environment.C．The method will be applied to different kinds of chemicals.D．More research is needed before the method is widely used.The idea that the normal human body temperature is about 37℃ was first presented by the German physician Carl Reinhold August Wunderlich in 1851. Since then, it’s become so widely accepted that it serves as a touchstone for health—a diagnostic tool used by physicians and parents as a basic indicator of whether someone is sick or well. However, it turns out that this well-established fact isn’t, in fact, correct—or, to put it more accurately, human beings have been getting cooler over the years.Recent studies have shown that temperature records of groups of people have tended to run low compared to the accepted norm (标准), so the Stanford team, led by Julie Par-sonnet,MD, professor of medicine and of health research and policy, decided to do a more in-depth study to compare modern measurements with historical records to try to identify body temperature trends and, perhaps, uncover the reason why this cooling is happening.For their research, the Stanford team looked at three distinct data sets from two historical periods. After going through 677,423 temperature measurements, the team found that men born in the 21st century had an average body temperature of 0.6℃ lower than that of those born in the early 19th century while modern women showed an average decrease of 0.03℃ compared to those born in the 1890s.As to why this is happening, the researchers say that the most likely mechanism is a reduction in the human metabolic rate (代谢率) due to environmental factors: One possibility is that improvements in public health over 200 years have reduced the incidence of inflammations (炎症),which promote metabolism. This combined with people living more comfortable lives in more stable environments means that the body doesn’t have to work ashard to stay warm, so the average temperature falls.”The environment that we’re living in has changed, including the temperature in our homes, our contact with microorganisms (微生物) and the food that we have access to. All these things mean that although we consider human beings as the same for all of human evolution, we’re not the same. We’re actually changing physiologically,” Parsonnet said. 12．What is Carl Reinhold August Wunderlich’s achievement?A．He set up standards for human health services.B．He predicted trends in human body temperature.C．He first used body temperature as a health indicator.D．He proposed the standard human body temperature.13．What can we learn about the Stanford team’s study?A．It shows women have a lower body temperature than men.B．It proves human body temperature has dropped at a faster rate.C．It compared historical and current human body temperature data.D．It suggested updating the definition of the average body temperature.14．Which of the following is thought to cause the decrease in human body temperature?A．The improved living conditions.B．The contact with other creatures.C．The decline in physically demanding work.D．The adaptation of humans to climate change.15．Which one could be the best title for the text?A．What exactly is normal human body temperature?B．Why does human body temperature need measuring?C．Human body temperature has decreased over the yearsD．Human body temperature changes with the environment二、七选五Born in 1961, Snoussi, a Frenchman, first came to China in 1983. At that time, he was a law student at Aix-en-Provence University and accompanied his father on a business trip to China.16 In March 2006, Snoussi moved to Ningbo to help his father who had set uphis export business. After living there for more than seven years, Snoussi realized that what he missed most was a traditional French bakery.“ 17 , which made Chinese, Korean, or European-style bread, but we couldn’t find that specific French taste. It was unlike our daily bread,because in my home country, bread is a bit like rice in China,” he explained. In June 2013,Snoussi opened an authentic (正宗的) French bakery in Ningbo. Though he had no baking experience, he quickly learned the ropes from a French baker. 18 .What makes Mon Epoque unique is its authentic French identity, which guarantees a genuine French taste every day. “We are one of the few French bakeries in China that directly imports flour from France, produced in the Cognac region from French wheat. 19 . These are the two most important ingredients in baking. This allows us to guarantee the same taste and quality day in, day out. We pay attention to the quality and the taste of our products so that our patrons can experience the same feeling every day,” he said.20 . In 2008,he donated over 30,000 yuan($4,300)to Wenchuan in Sichuan Province. In Ningbo, he donated T-shirts for students with disabilities and gave scholarships to outstanding students at a school. For several years, he sponsored (赞助) the Pink Ribbon Campaign organized by a team of foreign women to raise awareness about breast cancer. He also sponsored activities to encourage more people to look after stray dogs.A．This French baker was famous for his unique bakeryB．Snoussi is keen on social activities in NingboC．The butter used is also imported from FranceD．Snoussi enjoys helping people in needE．This visit was a culture shock for himF．He named his brand Mon EpoqueG．We had good bakeries in Ningbo三、完形填空During my stay at the University of Michigan, one of the senior professors asked me tolooked down in 25 , and thought that “expert” was a big word.When I lived in North Carolina, my new friends came over to 26 .

BSeven years ago, American Libby Green was traveling with her mom to the French Mediterranean resort city of Nice. Meanwhile, German-born Marcel Gnauk and a friend were also in Nice, attending the Crossover Festival, a celebration of eclectic music.Walking on the city’s beachfront Promenade des Anglais, Marcel spotted Libby holding a Hasselblad, a traditional medium-format film camera, and couldn’t resist approaching her. The pair chatted about this valuable object and then their travel. The next day, Libby flew back to the US, but they kept in contact.In the early years of their relationship, sharing their travel experiences online became part of their routine. Then, when traveling in Phnom Penh, Libby filmed some pigeons taking flight that she wanted to use in a film. But she couldn’t record the sound of their wing beats.They looked on the internet, searching sound libraries, but couldn’t find anything appropriate. So, Marcel took a $100 audio recorder, and went sear ching for the missing sound to record. He didn’t find any pigeons—but he did manage to change the direction of the couple’s future.Marcel turned the recorder on in a small construction zone where women were shoveling gravel, listening through a cheap set of headphones. He was shocked. Everything became alive, and from that day until now he had never stopped recording.In the six years since that first recording, Libby and Marcel have captured audio in more than 25 countries. They share their experiences through Instagram. Through postings they offer not just their passion and experiences recording sounds, but also details of the equipment and techniques they use. Through their website they offer 500 royalty-free sound libraries. Of these, 145 are free to download.Marcel says their “a-ha” moment came when he was sitting in front of a computer in 2017. Libby had added a donation button to their website, and a Hollywood post-production creative had donated a few dollars. He realized others shared a passion for sound—and were willing to pay for it. Now their passion becomes a business.；4. What attracted Marcel when he saw LibbyA．Her voice. B．Her camera. C．Her kindness. D．Her beauty.；5. Which moment was of significance to the coupleA．When they made a film in France.B．When they shared travel experiences online.C．When they searched the woods for a specific bird.D．When they tried to record sounds of birds beating wings.；6. What does the author want to convey by saying “‘a-ha’ moment” in the last paragraphA．Marcel got a surprise. B．Marcel could do nothing but sigh. C．Marcel couldn’t say a word. D．Marcel felt really worried.；7. What is the best title for the textA．An Unforgettable Travel B．A Secret to HappinessC．A Passion for Sounds D．A Lesson From NatureCWhen Katja Edler noticed tightness around her right shoulder in 2017, she assumed she’d been spending too much time at her desk. The 44-year-old book editor worked from home. About three months later, her symptoms were worse: “I got up one morning ina lot of pain and couldn’t lift my arm.”Edler met with a surgeon, who took an X-ray and then identifiedthe problem: she had frozen shoulder. The condition affects up to 5% of people and occurs when the connective tissue surrounding theshoulder-joint capsule becomes inflamed (发炎的). Over time, this tissue thickens and hardens, causing pain and restricted movement. Women are four times more likely to have frozen shoulder than men, and people with heart disease are at higher risk. “It’s surprisingly common in people in their 40s to 60s, especially in people over the age of 60, said physiotherapist Karen McCreesh. She said patients typically describe the discomfort as “burning” and it is often worse at night. While it’s rare to have a recurrence (复发) in the same shoulder, about 10 to 15 per cent of patients will develop it on the other side, according to Dr. Rangan.Early treatment improves the symptoms faster, but identifying the condition can be a challenge, since it’s hard to know how it develops. It’s more likel y to happen if your shoulder has been immobile because of a broken arm after a fall. But in most cases, the problem seems to come out of nowhere.There remains no known way to prevent the condition, which is why an early diagnosis (诊断) is so important. Dr. Rangan suggests “Taking your shoulders through a range of movement every day to make sure they don’t tighten up. If you notice anything, seek help.”；8. What can be inferred from the first two paragraphsA．Edler identified the problem by herself.B．Males take higher risk to have frozen shoulder.C．Frozen shoulder is caused by restricted movement.D．The people in their 60s are more likely to have frozen shoulder.；9. Why is it difficult to identify the condition of frozen shoulder A．It will not occur again. B．The symptoms will get worse.C．It will develop on the other side. D．The causes of the symptoms vary.；10. What can be done if something gets wrong with your shoulders A．Consult for help. B．Wait for it to heal.C．Identify the condition. D．Move your shoulders daily.；11. What is the author’s purpose in writing the textA．To offer advice. B．To show concern.C．To share experience. D．To share information.DWhat is a hero We may think of the fictional characters with supernatural powers or great people who can influence world events. Now, as the nation continues its all-out efforts to fight against the novel coronavirus pneumonia (COVID-19), medical staff (职工) have become heroes in the eyes of the public.As of Feb 19, a total of 33,000 medical staff outside Hubei province have been working to treat patients around the center of the outbreak.Zhang Dingyu, the president of Wuhan Jinyintan Hospital, is one ofthese heroes. Since the hospital received the first seven patients in December, Zhang has been so busy that he barely gets any sleep. Even suffering from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (肌萎缩侧索硬化), the 56-year-old doctor is doing his best to quicken his pace to save precious time for infected patients. “I have to run, racing against time to save more patients from the deadly disease, because I don’t have much time left in my life,” Zhang told Xinhua News Agency.With the duty of saving lives, many medical professionals like Zhang have been working long hours for days, despite their fear and worries.Lu Jingjing from Wuhan Children’s Hospital also works at a temporary mobile hospital. She does not let her parents know that she is now working with novel coronavirus-infected patients. When her parents ask for a video chat, Lu says she is working and lets her husband and children chat with them instead.“It’s dangerous but we should win the battle with the virus as soon as possible, so that medical staff and patients can go back home,” she told China Daily.US writer Khalil Gibran (1883-1931) once wrote, “Tenderness a nd kindness are not signs of weakness and despair, but the manifestations of strength and resolution.” It’s true for the medicalworkers.Everyone has fear, especially when it comes to deadly diseases. But for medical staff, saving lives comes first and is enough for them to be brave and stay on the front. They may look like ordinary people in daily life, but in these extraordinary times, they are heroes. 12. What is the author’s main purpose in writing this article A．To explain what makes a modem-day hero.B．To praise medical staff for their efforts to fight the COVID-19. C．To describe what measures China has taken to deal with the virus.D．To show the difficulties faced by medical staff treating NCP patients.13. What do we learn from Zhang Dingyu’s wordsA．His illness has turned him into an impatient man.B．His illness makes him work without fear.C．He feels sorry for himself because of his illness.D．He wants to help as many patients as possible.14. Why doesn’t Lu Jingjing answer her parents’ video calls A．She is too busy and has no time for video chats.B．She doesn’t want her parents to worry about her.C．It’s not allowed to make a video call from the hospital. D．There is no WiFi signal at the temporary mobile hospital.15. The underlined word “manifestations” in the second-to-last paragraph probably means “”.A．results B．differencesC．signs D．advantages第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项。

ASet at the entrance to beautiful bays and natural harbors, lighthouses have prevented ships from touching the ground in shallow water for hundreds of years. Sadly, however, many of them are not needed because of effective onboard navigational (导航的) systems. As they were designed to be visible, lighthouses often become very distinctive landmarks: their shapes and colors stand out against the surrounding landscapes. Consequently, they make for some fantastic photo opportunities and are usually set in impressive spots along rocky coastlines or wild seas.Galle LighthouseLocated within the ancient walls of Galle Fort, the lighthouse of the same name has protected the surrounding waters ever since it was first built in 1848. While it is the oldest lighthouse in the whole of Sri Lanka, the current lighthouse’s blindingly bright white walls only date back to 1939, when it was rebuilt after a devastating fire.Hercules Tower LighthouseEver since the second century AD, Hercules Tower Lighthouse has watched out over Spain’s North Atlantic coastline. This remarkably makes it one of the very few oldest lighthouses still in operation today. Such is its age that it is believed to have been modeled after the Lighthouse of Alexandria—one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.Big Red LighthouseStanding proudly at the south side of the Holland Channel, Big Red Lighthouse presents a striking red appearance to increase its visibility in the daytime. Another unusual quality of Big Red is that the rare lighthouse watches over two bodies of water—Lake Macatawa and Lake Michigan.1. Who are probably the fans of lighthouses nowadays?A. Photographers.B. Historians.C. Sailors.D. Scientists.2. Which of the following is currently used for navigation?A. Galle Lighthouse.B. The Lighthouse of Alexandria.C. Big Red Lighthouse.D. Hercules Tower Lighthouse.3. What is special about Big Red Lighthouse?A. It has the same name as the ancient walls.B. It borders Lake Macatawa and Lake Michigan.C. It gives off red light to increase its visibility.D. It is modeled after the ancient wonder.【答案】1. A 2. D 3. B【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。

I first read this book in high school and really enjoyed it because of its accurate language. If any of you is interested in reading this book and hasn't yet, I highly recommend it.Fire fly Lane By Kristin HannahThis is my favorite book. It is a story about friendship, love and life lessons. The story covers the lives of two best friends, Tully and Kate, from childhood to adulthood. I learned so much about friendship and life. So, read Firefly Lane! You'll laugh, you'll cry, and then you'll share this book to your best friend.Half the Sky By Nicholas KristofFor any person of any age, Half the Sky is a must-read. It describes the struggle of women and the most pressing human rights problems of our time: the common oppression of women and girls.The Little Prince By Antoine de SaintThis children's book is simple. It might seem like a wrong book to recommend to someone in their twenties, but perhaps that's what makes it a good choice.

Until recently, few people took the saying seriously. Now however, doctors have begun to look into laughter and the effects it has on the human body. They have found that laughter can really improve people's health.Tests were carried out to study the effects of laughter on the body. People watched funny films while doctors checked their hearts, blood pressure, breathing and muscles. It was found that laughter has similar effects to physical exercise. It increases blood pressure, makes the heart beat quicker and makes people breathe deeper; it also works on several groups of muscles in the face, the stomach, and even the feet. If laughter exercises the body, it must be beneficial.Other tests have shown that laughter appears to be able to reduce the effects of pain on the body. In one experiment doctors produced pain in groups of students who listened to different radio programs. The group that tolerated（忍耐）the pain for the longest time was the group which listened to a funny program. The reason why laughter can reduce pain seems to be that it helps to produce a kind of chemical in the brain which diminishes both stress and pain.As a result of these discoveries, some doctors in the United States now hold laughter clinics, in which they help to improve their patients' condition by encouraging them to laugh. They have found that even if their patients do not really feel like laughing, making them smile is enough to produce beneficial effects similar to those caused by laughter. 4．According to the passage, which of the following statements is WRONG?A．Laughter is good for healthB．Laughter can make you become old quicklyC．Laughter helps to reduce pain.D．Laughter, just like physical exercise, is good for our body.5．The underlined word "diminishes" in the third paragraph means "____".A．delays B．prevents C．increases D．reduces6．Why do some doctors hold laughter clinics?A．Because they want to earn more money.B．Because they think they will help the patients recover from illnesses.C．Because they want to improve their patients' condition.D．Because they want their patients to practice how to laugh7．What would be the best title for this passage?A．Both laughter and physical exercise are good for healthB．Laughter clinics help patients improve their conditionC．Laughter can reduce the effects of painD．Laughter is the best medicine.阅读理解Popcorn Park Zoo is not like most zoos. It is a very special place.This unusual place was not originally a zoo. At first it was called the Forked River Animal Care Center. The workers there looked after lost or unwanted cats and dogs. Today the center is part of the zoo, but now many other kinds of animals are helped there, too.The changes to the center began in 1977 when a raccoon(浣熊) needed help. One of its front paws(爪子) had been badly hurt. The workers cared for the animal. Finally it was better, but it could not care for itself. The raccoon was allowed to live there. Then a hurt deer was brought there for help. It, too, stayed there after it got well.Once people heard about the wonderful work being done at the center, they began taking all kinds of hurt or homeless animals there. Soon it was no longer just a home for cats and dogs. So many animals were living there that it became more like a zoo.Popcorn Park Zoo got its funny name because many of the animals there like to eat popcorn made without oil or salt. The popcorn is sold there to help make money to care for the animals. People buy the popcorn to feed the animals as a treat.Popcorn Park Zoo now looks after more than 200 kinds of animals. Many of them live freely there. Some of the gentler ones, such as goats, sheep, geese, and deer, walk among the visitors who come to see them. Others are kept in large closed areas almost like their natural homes.

The 20-year-old swimmer from Hangzhou won a bronze medal at the recent Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. But it wasn't the medal that charmed people's hearts, it was Fu's honest remarks and bubbly personality.Climbing out of the pool after a semi-final heat, Fu looked tired and out of breath, and not very happy. She thought her time may not have been good enough to make the final. But the reporter told her otherwise. Fu had just swum a personal best! And it was Fu's reaction (反应) to this news that made everyone fall in love with her.Her eyes got big and smiled. "Wow, I'm so fast!" she said. And she joked with the girl reporter that she must have been helped by her "mystical powers." Later, after the final race, it was the same reporter who again surprised Fu by telling her she'd won a bronze medal. "What? Really?" she said, "That's not so bad, then."Fu worked hard to get to the Olympics and her training, she said, "Even though I did not win a gold medal, I surpassed (超过) myself and I am happy with that."12．What kind of medal did Fu Yuanhui win in the Olympic Games in Brazil?A．The gold medal.B．The silver medal.C．The bronze medal.D．None.13．Why didn't Fu Yuanhui feel happy after the semi-final heat at first?A．Because she didn't feel well.B．Because she thought she didn't do well.C．Because she wasn't satisfied with her reaction.D．Because the reporter asked her an unhappy question.14．The third paragraph tells us Fu Yuanhui ____.A．had an expressive faceB．was satisfied with herselfC．thought the game is unfair for herD．was sorry to get the bronze medal15．We can learn from the underlined words that Fu Y uanhui ____.A．thought she had tried her bestB．thought she was lucky enoughC．wanted to thank the reporterD．planned to win the gold medal二、第二部分，阅读理解，第二节(共 5 小题:每小题 2.5 分, 满分 12.5 分)阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

考查角度1 直线与圆锥曲线的位置关系
考查角度1直线与圆锥曲线的位置关系分类透析一直线与圆锥曲线的位置关系问题已知直线x-2y+2=0与圆C:x2+y2-4y+m=0相交,截得的弦长为.(1)求圆C的方程.(2)过原点O作圆C的两条切线,与抛物线y=x2相交于M,N两点(异于原点),证明:直线MN与圆C相切.(3)若抛物线y=x2上任意三个不同的点P,Q,R,满足直线PQ和PR,判断直线QR与圆C的位置关系,并加以证明.利用弦长的一半、半径、弦心距构成直角三角形及勾股C的半径;(2)由于切线过原点,可设切线方程为y=kx,利用圆心到切线的距离等于圆的半径求k,再联立切线与抛物线方程,求出M,N两点的坐标,得出MN的方程,然后证明圆心C到MN的距离等于半径;(3)由三点在抛物线上,可设P(a,a2),Q(b,b2),R(c,c2),用a,b,c 表示圆心C到直线QR的距离d,由直线PQ和PR都与圆C相切,得到a,b,再代入d,即可得直线QR与圆C相切.∵圆心C的坐标为(0,2),=.∴圆心C到直线x-2y+2=0的距离为d=--∵截得的弦长为,∴r2=+=1,∴圆C的方程为x2+(y-2)2=1.(2)设过原点O的切线方程为y=kx,即kx-y=0,=1,解得k=±.∴--∴过原点O的切线方程为y=±x.不妨设y=x与抛物线的交点为M,则解得或(舍去),故M(,3),同理可求得N(-,3),∴直线MN的方程为y=3.∵圆心C(0,2)到直线MN的距离为1且圆C的半径为1,∴直线MN与圆C相切.(3)直线QR与圆C相切.证明如下:设P(a,a2),Q(b,b2),R(c,c2),则直线PQ,PR,QR的方程分别为PQ:(a+b)x-y-ab=0,PR:(a+c)x-y-ac=0,QR:(b+c)x-y-bc=0.∵PQ是圆C的切线,∴--=1,化简得(a2-1)b2+2ab+3-a2=0. ①∵PR是圆C的切线,同理可得(a2-1)c2+2ac+3-a2=0. ②则b,c为方程(a2-1)x2+2ax+3-a2=0的两个实根,∴b+c=--,bc=--.∵圆心到直线QR的距离为d==--==1,且圆C的半径为1,与圆C相切.对于直线与圆锥曲线的位置关系问题,可以借助代数,则可以借助几何法进行判断.直线与圆锥曲线的交点问题已知抛物线C:x2=2y的焦点为F.P(m,n),求证:以P为切点,与抛物线相切的切线方程是mx=y+n.(2)若过动点M(x0,0)(x0≠0 的直线l与抛物线C相切,试判断直线l的位置关系,并予以证明.利用导数求出抛物线的切线(或把直线与曲线的方程联立,(或y)建立一元二次方程,利用判别式等于0求出斜率;(2)分别求出直线MF与直线l的斜率,找出其斜率的关系,即可得解.由抛物线C:x2=2y,得y=x2,则y'=x,∴在点P(m,n)处切线的斜率k=m,∴切线方程是y-n=m(x-m),即y-n=mx-m2.又点P(m,n)是抛物线上的一点,∴m2=2n,∴切线方程是mx-2n=y-n,即mx=y+n.(2)直线MF与直线l的位置关系是垂直.证明如下:由(1)得,设切点为P(m,n),则切线l的方程为mx=y+n,∴切线l的斜率k=m,点M.又点F,此时,k MF=--=-=-=-,∴k·k MF=m·-=-1,∴直线MF⊥直线l.直线与圆锥曲线的位置关系问题可以转化为相应方程组的解来讨论,即联立方程组通过消去y(或消去x)得到关于x(或y)的方程ax2+bx+c=0(ay2+by+c=0),然后进行讨论.这时要注意考虑a=0和a≠0两种情况,对双曲线和抛物线而言,一个公共点的情况除a≠0 Δ=0外,直线与双曲线的渐近线平行或直线与抛物线的对称轴平行时,都只有一个交点(此时直线与双曲线、抛物线属相交情况).由此可见,直线与圆锥曲线只有一个公共点,并不是直线与圆锥曲线相切的充要条件.分类透析三弦长问题设椭圆E:+=1(a>b>0)的短轴为2,E上一点P到右焦点距离的最小值为1.(1)求椭圆E的方程;(2)过点(0,2)且倾斜角为60°的直线交椭圆E于A,B两点,求△AOB的面积.根据已知条件寻找a,c的关系,进而解出a,c及b 的值;(2)先求出弦长|AB|,再求出点O到直线的距离可求△AOB的面积.由题意得b=,且a-c=1,∴--解得∴椭圆E的方程为+=1.(2)过点(0,2)的直线的方程为y=x+2,代入椭圆方程+=1,可得15x2+16x+4=0,判别式Δ>0恒成立.设A(x1,y1),B(x2,y2),则x1+x2=-,x1x2=,∴ AB =|x1-x2|=2-=.由点O到直线AB的距离d==1,∴S△AOB=·d=.解决直线与圆锥曲线的相交弦长问题时,一方面,我们(即几何问题代数化),把它转化为代数问题,通过代数的计算,使问题得到解决;另一方面,由于弦长问题和平面几何联系得非常紧密,因此,我们要勤动手,准确地作出图形,并充分挖掘几何图形中所隐含的条件,利用几何知识使问题较为简捷地得到解决,注意圆锥曲线的几何性质的运用.1.(2018年全国Ⅱ卷,文20改编)设抛物线C:y2=2px(p>0)的焦点为F,过F且斜率为1的直线l与C交于A,B两点,|AB|=8.(1)求抛物线C的方程;(2)求过点A,B且圆心到直线l的距离为2的圆的方程.由题意得F,直线l的方程为y=x-.设A(x1,y1),B(x2,y2),由-得x2-3px+=0.又Δ=8p2>0,故x1+x2=3p.所以|AB|=|AF|+|BF|=+=4p.由题意知4p=8,解得p=2,所以抛物线C的方程为y2=4x.(2)因为圆心到直线l的距离为2,|AB|=8,易得圆的半径r=2.由(1)得直线l的方程为y=x-1,AB的中点坐标为(3,2),所以AB 的垂直平分线方程为y-2=-(x-3),即y=-x+5.设所求圆的圆心坐标为(x0,y0),则-解得或--因此所求圆的方程为(x-5)2+y2=24或(x-1)2+(y-4)2=24.2.(2016年全国Ⅱ卷,文20改编)已知椭圆E:+=1的焦点在x轴上,椭圆E的左顶点为A,斜率为k(k>0)的直线交椭圆E于A,B两点,点C 在椭圆E上,AB⊥AC,直线AC交y轴于点D.(1)当点B为椭圆的上顶点 △ABD的面积为2ab时,求椭圆的离心率e;(2)当b=,2|AB|=|AC|时,求k的取值范围.由题意知,直线AB的方程为y=x+b,直线AC的方程为y=-(x+a),令x=0,得y=-.又S△ABD=··a=2ab,于是a2+b2=4b2,a2=3b2,所以e==.(2)设直线AB的方程为y=k(x+a),联立整理得(3+a2k2)x2+2a3k2x+a4k2-3a2=0,解得x=-a或x=--,所以|AB|=·--=·.设直线AC的方程为y=-(x+a),同理可得|AC|=·.因为2|AB|=|AC|,所以2··=·,整.理得a2=-->3, 因为椭圆E的焦点在x轴上,所以a2>3,即--<0,解得<k<2.整理得--因此k的取值范围是(,2).1.(2018新建二中月考)如图,在平面直角坐标系xOy中,椭圆C:+=1(a>b>0)的离心率为,右焦点F(1,0).(1)求椭圆C的方程;(2)点P在椭圆C上,且在第一象限内,直线PQ与圆O:x2+y2=b2相切于点M,且OP⊥OQ,求点Q的纵坐标t的值.由题意得=,c=1,∴a=2,∴b=-=,∴椭圆C的方程为+=1.(2)①当PQ⊥x轴时,P,Q(,t),由OP⊥OQ得·=0,可得t=-2.②当PQ不垂直于x轴时,设P(x0,y0),直线PQ的方程为y-y0=k(x-x0),即kx-y-kx0+y0=0.∵PQ与圆O相切,∴=,∴(kx0-y0)2=3(k2+1),∴2kx0y0=k2+-3k2-3.又∵Q(-,t),∴由·=0,得t=-.∴t2=-=-=--=-- - =12,∴t=±2 .综上可得,t=±2 .2.(2018届贵州省黔东南州一模)已知椭圆C :+=1(a>b>0)的左、右焦点分别为F 1、F 2,上顶点为A ,动直线l :x-my-1=0(m ∈R 经过点F 2,且△AF 1F 2是等腰直角三角形.(1)求椭圆C 的方程;(2)设直线l 交C 于M ,N 两点,若点A 在以线段MN 为直径的圆外,求实数m .因为直线l :x-my-1=0经过点F 2,所以c=1. 1F 2是等腰直角三角形,所以a 2+a 2=(2c )2, 所以a 2=2,所以b 2=a 2-c 2=1.故椭圆C 的方程为+y 2=1. (2)设M (my 1+1,y 1),N (my 2+1,y 2),联立 - --消去x 得(m 2+2)y 2+2my-1=0, 所以y 1+y 2=-,y 1y 2=-.因为点A 在以线段MN 为直径的圆外等价于 · >0, 所以· =(m 2+1)y 1y 2+(m-1)(y 1+y 2)+2=(m 2+1) -+(m-1) -+2>0,所以m 2-2m-3<0,解得-1<m<3,故实数m 的取值范围是(-1,3). 3.(2018湖南醴陵二中、醴陵四中期末)已知圆C 过坐标原点O ,且与x 轴、y 轴分别交于点A 、B ,圆心坐标为C(t ∈R t ≠0 .(1)求证:△AOB 的面积为定值.(2)直线2x+y-4=0与圆C 交于点M ,N ,若|OM|=|ON|,求圆C 的方程.

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

Spotting recognizable shapes in the wild is like thinking over a broken 27 in the sediment(沉积物).Is it a tooth,a bone or a shell?I'm looking for the 28 end pieces.Thankfully,my 29 phone service in these places holds back the rest of the world while I'm finding another one.And I know the fossils aren't demanding my 30 attention because they have nothing but time.Once,I took a bottle-cap-sized trilobite(三叶虫)fossil into the newsroom and placed it within my sight.It was something I wanted to 31 throughout the day.

2023-2024学年湖南师范大学附属中学、湖南省长沙市第一中学高二上学期期中联考英语试题Travel has become increasingly inconvenient and sometimes impossible over the last couple of years. However, museums around the world are digitizing their collections, enabling people to tour the museums from afar.The British Museum, LondonThe British Museum contains objects from around the world, including the Rosetta Stone, with three versions of a text that helped researchers learn to r ead ancient Egyptian.

Mike knows about his name-calling because sometimes when my father comes to pick me up, he’ll say inconsiderate things right in front of my stepfather like, “Is what’s-his-name going to pick you up after the game, or am I supposed to bring you home?”Even though it’s rude, my stepfather doesn’t hold it against my father. “I’ll pick up Shawn at 3:30,” he’ll answer. Nor does Mike make a big deal out of my father’s inconsiderate attitude towards him. He lets the comments go.I ask my stepfather if the way my f ather treats him bothers or upsets him. “Oh, not really,” he says. “You don’t always have to be right, as long as you do what’s right.” My father’s taunts (嘲笑) don’t bother Mike because he likes himself.

The Crown Prince of Denmark presented the four professors with a grand prize of roughly 1.5 million dollars on October 25 in Copenhagen, Denmark. Migraines remain one of the most serious and common neurological illnesses millions around the world suffer. Studies show that women are three times more likely to experience frequent and intense migraines than men, and symptoms can last up to 24 hours. Typically, these intense head-throbbing pains are also accompanied by vomiting(呕吐), dizziness and sensitivity to sound, light, and touch.After over forty years of research, the four professors pinpointed the major cause — chemicals released within the brain. Previously, the main causes of migraines were thought to be stress, pressure or anxiety. In 1979, Professor Michael Moskowitz discovered that headaches occur when thin nerves are found in our head and face to interact with a highly-sensitive membrane(膜) surrounding our brain, releasing chemicals called neuropeptides. These chemicals can then cause the blood vessels in our head to expand and also send pain signals to the brain. Later, research by Professor Goadsby and Edvinsson revealed that the specific neuropeptide which plays the central role in causing the intense headache is calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP). Then, Professor Olesen’s work further confirmed that CGRP is indeed responsible for the pain, rather than a chemical produced in the brain as a result of the migraines.The work by these scientists paves the way for developing more effective medicine. While past treatments can only temporarily stop the pain, scientists say that the newly developed drugs not only prevent migraines but also don’t cause the harmful side effects patients had to endure.8. Who received the grand prize in the country where he works?A．Jes Olesen. B．Peter Goadsby. C．Lars Edvinsson. D．MichaelMoskowitz.9. What do we know about migraines?A．Migraines are a rare and strange illness.B．All the symptoms of intense migraines last 24 hours.C．Females’ chance of getting migraines is higher than males’.D．Vomiting, dizziness and sensitivity lead to migraines.10. What is the major cause of migraines?A．Stress, pressure or anxiety. B．A highly-sensitive membrane.C．Chemical called neuropeptides. D．Interactions between thin nerves.11. In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?A．Medicine. B．Biology. C．Literature. D．Psychology.People have been predicting (预测) the death of cable TV (有线电视) for a long time, but this really might be it. Just a decade (十年) ago, nearly all Americans — more than 85 percent of U.S. households — paid for packages of TV channels from cable or satellite ( 卫星) companies. That started to drop slowly at first and then far more quickly in the past few years. Now, the share of American homes that pay for traditional TV service is approaching 50 percent, according to expert Craig Moffett and S&P Global Market Intelligence’s Kagan research group.For comparison, cellphones were around for decades before the percentage of Americans wh o didn’t have a landline ( 座机) at home reached 50 percent, around 2017. Maybe it seems predictable that cable TV would go the way of the landline. I promise you that it was not necessarily obvious, even once Netflix started to take off. Old habits die hard. Old industries that make a lot of people rich die even harder. And don’t forget that some new technology habits catch on fast but don’t stick.What may be a final drop in America’s cable TV industry is a big deal. It shows that technology can change deep-rooted ways of doing things slowly, and then suddenly.Ian Olgeirson, a research director at Kagan who has been following America’s TV market for about 20 years, told me that he was surprised by how quickly the monthly cable bill went from being standard to outdated for many Americans. Olgeirson and other TV experts I’ve been speaking to didn’t single out a turning point in cable TV’s big drop. They said the downward trend ( 趋势) was more like a series of progressive changes building up.It’s clear that t he cable TV system that for decades brought joy and headaches to tens of millions of Americans is wearing thin. The wild card is whether Americans keep turning away from cable and satellite TV relatively slowly, or whether it will fail suddenly.I have always loved TV. I felt like a real grown-up when I first started to pay a huge bill for television, partly to watch my favorite football team. I had reduced my cable TV package, but then a few months ago I was told that my bill was going to increase by about $10 a month. That was it. I’ma no-cable household now, too.12. What does paragraph 1 mainly tell us about cable TV?A．Its falling popularity. B．Its increasing payments.C．Its various TV channels. D．Its high service standard.13. Why does the author mention cellphones and landlines in paragraph 2?A．To prove technology can change the world. B．To show it is not easy for cable TV to go away.C．To illustrate there is no market left for cable TV. D．To explain technology can bring fortune to people.14. Which of the following is beyond Olgeirson’s expectations?A．America’s TV market was down suddenly.B．The death of cable TV will come in about 20 years.C．Americans turned away from cable TV so quickly.D．There are still many Americans showing interest in cable TV.15. What would be the best title for the text?A．Cable TV won’t be replaced by satelliteTVB．Cable TV brought joy to Americans C．Cable TV has existed for decades D．Cable TV is the new landlineJessica Nabongo longs to set foot in every nation. She started traveling at age four, along with her parents on family trips from Detroit, Michigan and completed her mission when she landed in the Seychelles, having visited 195 countries. 16 Along the way, she became a writer, photographer, and passionate advocate for inclusive and ethical tourism.Here she talks to us about her experience and tips for traveling better.What inspires your adventures?17 I have a strong desire to see the differences and similarities in how people live everywhere in the world, even at home in the United States.Did you ever experience any obstacles (阻碍)?I don’t believe in failure. 18 Embarrassment isn’t a natural human personality, in my eyes — it comes from socializati on. If I fell over in the middle of Grand Central Station, I’d laugh at myself. I firmly believe that every failure in your life is just an opportunity to learn.19My mother has always said “humble (使谦逊) yourself”. I appreciate it because when you trave l, depending on your passport, depending on your social class, depending on so many different things, you can go to places with a lot of ego (自我), or you can humble yourself and know that everyone is equal.What are some things people can do to travel more sustainably (可持续地)?Single-use plastic is one of the biggest things harming Earth right now, so a lot of my focus is on that. 20 If you’re in a restaurant and you don’t have a big appetite, ask for a half portion. It’s aboutbeing a deliberate (慎重的) traveler, just taking that extra minute to think how I can have a lower impact on this place that I’m in and on the planet in general.I was waiting to pick up a friend at the airport. That day I had one of those _______that change people’s lives. It happened just two feet away from me. I noticed a man, carrying two bags, coming toward me. He stopped next to me to _______his family.First of all he _______his bag and came closer to his younger son (about six years old). They gave each other a _______hug.

The man _______took his little daughter, quickly kissed her face all over and then held her close to his _______. The little girl laid her head on his shoulder in pure _______.After several moments the man looked at his wife and said “I’ve saved the best _______!” and shared with her the most passionate kiss. They reminded me of newlyweds (新婚夫妇).Suddenly, I heard myself asking “Wow, how long have you been married?” “Been _______for fourteen years, and marr ied twelve years.” “Well then, how long have you been away?” He replied with joyous smile on his face: “Two whole _______!”I was _______, as I imagined that he had been gone for several weeks at least. I could only say, “I hope that my marriage is still t hat heartfelt after twelve years”. The man looked straight into my eyes and told me something that changed my life: “Don’t _______, friend, decide!”...21.A．experiences B．opportunities C．memories D．adventures22.A．stimulate B．impress C．greet D．defend23.A．relied on B．laid down C．picked up D．put across 24.A．delicate B．distant C．mild D．loving25.A．smiled B．knelt C．bent D．jumped 26.A．movement B．hug C．laugh D．conversation 27.A．Suddenly B．Immediately C．Afterwards D．Finally 28.A．skillfully B．tirelessly C．gracefully D．gently29.A．hand B．arm C．back D．chest30.A．satisfaction B．thrill C．security D．confusion 31.A．for last B．for good measure C．at least D．in full length 32.A．away B．together C．back D．apart33.A．years B．weeks C．days D．hours34.A．amused B．disappointed C．surprised D．embarrassed 35.A．stop B．promise C．hesitate D．hope阅读下面短文，在空白处填入 1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

AFood festivals around the worldStilton Cheese RollingMay Day is a traditional day for celebrations, but the 2,000 English villagers of Stilton must be the only people in the world who include these rolling in their annual plans. Teams of four, dressed in a variety of strange and funny clothes, roll a complete cheese along a 50-metre course. On the way, they must not kick or throw their cheese, or go into their competitors' lane（赛道）. Competition is fierce and the chief prize is a complete Stilton cheese weighing about four kilos(disappointingly, but understandably the cheeses used in the race are wooden ones). All the competitors are served with beer or port wine, the traditional accompaniment for Stilton cheese.Fiery Foods Festival—The Hottest Festival on EarthEvery year more than 10,000 people head for the city of Albuquerque, New Mexico. They come from as far away as Australia, the Caribbean and China, but they all share a common addiction— food that is not just spicy, but hot enough to make your mouth burn, your head spin and your eyes water. Their destination is the Fiery Food and BBQ Festival which is held over a period of three days every March. You might like to try a chocolate —covered Habanero pepper — officially the hottest pepper in the world or any one of the thousands of products that are on show. But one thing's for sure — if you don't like the feeling of a burning tongue, this festival isn't for you!La Tomatina—The World's Biggest Food FightOn the last Wednesday of every August, the Spanish town of Bunol hosts La Tomatina— the world's largest food fight. A week-long celebration leads up to an exciting tomato battle as the highlight of the week's events. The early morning sees the arrival of large trucks with tomatoes —official fight-starters get things going by casting tomatoes at the crowd. The battle lasts little more than half an hour, in which time around 50,000 kilograms of tomatoes have been thrown at anyone or anything that moves, runs, or fights back. Then everyone heads down to the river to make friends again — and for a much-needed wash!Melbourne Food and Wine FestivalAustralia’s cultural capital has hosted this20-day festival for 20 years, a showcase of the continent’s culinary (烹调用的) mastery through cooking demonstrations, special tours and food tastings throughout the city.

When I mixed some powder together, they exploded. Molten liquid hit me in the face, but I felt no pain.I vividly remember standing there in a state of calm. I thought I was in a dream, but however hard I struggled to swim to the surface of con sciousness, I couldn’t wake up. I didn’t understand how terrifying it was until I heard people saying,＂Who’s that?＂That’s when I knew I was unrecognizable.I was taken to hospital, but the doctors didn’t know what to do with me. Later I was flown to Houston for surgery. Between the ages of 13 and 16, I had 40 operations. As each operation came and went, my vision would come back, then fade again. Eventually, it faded completely and I had what was left of my eyes removed for cosmetic reasons.Since then, I h ave lived in total darkness. Most blind people, even if they don’t have any sight they’re aware of, are still able to sense light. That gives them a sense of day and night. But not me. I absolutely lost that sense of time passing.For many years, I felt my sight loss darkening my life like the loss of my parents from which I would never recover. But when I was in my 40s, I realized I had to find a way to live. I trained to become a counselor, and that has helped me see my experiences in a different way. I can’t fix people’s broken lives —just like I can’t fix my sight — but I can help them find a way to manage.Sometimes it feels as if all the struggles and negative experiences I’ve lived through were in fact a kind of preparation for helping others to make their own way towards the light.25. How did the writer feel when the mixed powder exploded?A. Painful.B. Frightened.C. Desperate.D. Calm.26. What can we know about the writer?A. She recovered her sight at last.B. She just has slight sense of sight.C. She is now living a meaningful life.D. She received 40 operations in 28 years.27. What is the passage mainly about?A. Telling her own experience.B. Encouraging the blind to cheer up.C. Calling on people to care for the blind.D. Warning students doing experiments is dangerous.CWe’ve reached a strange — some would say unusual — point. While fighting world hunger continues to be the matter of vital importance according to a recent report from the World Health Organization (WHO), more people now die from being overweight, or say, from being extremely fat, than from being underweight. It’s the good life that’s more likely to kill us these days.Worse still, nearly 18 million children under the age of five around the world are estimated to be overweight. What’s going on?We really don’t have many excuses for our weight problems. The dangers of the problem have been drilled into us by public–health campaigns since 2001 and the message is getting through — up to a point.In the 1970s, Finland, for example, had the highest rate of heart disease in the world and being overweight was its main cause. Not any more. A public–health campaign has greatly reduced the number of heart disease deaths by 80 percent over the past three decades.Maybe that explains why the percentage of people in Finland taking diet pills doubled between 2001 and 2005, and doctors even offer surgery of removing fat inside and change the shape of the body. That has become a sort of fashion. No wonder it ranks as the world’s most body–conscious country.We know what we should be doing to lose weight — but actually doing it is another matter. By far the most popular excuse is not taking enough exercise. More than half of us admit we lack willpower. Others blame good foo d. They say: it’s just too inviting and it makes them overeat. Still others lay the blame on the Americans, complaining that pounds have piled on thanks to eating too much American–style fast food.Some also blame their parents —their genes. But unfortunately, the parents are wronged because they’re normal in shape, or rather slim.It’s a similar story around the world, although people are relatively unlikely to have tried to lose weight. Parents are eager to see their kids shape up. Do as I say — not as I do.28. What’s the “strange” point mentioned in the first sentence?A. Overweight issue remains unresolved despite WHO’s efforts.B. Starvation is taking more people’s lives in the world.C. WHO report shows people’s unawareness of food safety.D. The good life is a greater risk than the bad life.29. Why does the author think that people have no excuse for being overweight?A. A lot of effective diet pills are available.B. Body image has nothing to do with good food.C. They have been made fully aware of its dangers.D. There are too many overweight people in the world.30. The example of Finland is used to illustrate (阐明) _______.A. the cause of heart diseaseB. the effectiveness of a campaignC. there are too many overweight people in the worldD. the fashion of body shaping31. Which would be the best title for the passage?A. Actions or ExcusesB. Overweight or UnderweightC. WHO in a DilemmaD. No Longer Dying of HungerDSome houses are designed to be smart. Others have smart designs. An example of the second type of house won an Award of Excellence from the American Institute of Architects.Located on the shore of Sullivan’s Island off the coast of South Carolina, the aw ard-winning cube-shaped beach house was built to replace one smashed to pieces by Hurricane Hugo 10 years ago. In September 1989, Hugo struck South Carolina, killing 18 people and damaging or destroying 36,000 homes in the state.Before Hugo, many new hou ses built along South Carolina’s shoreline were poorly constructed, and enforcement (执行) of building codes (建筑法规) wasn’t strict, according to architect Ray Huff, who created the cleverly-designed beach house. In Hugo’s wake, all newshoreline houses are required to meet stricter, better-enforced codes. The new beach house on Sullivan’s Island should be able to resist a Category 3 hurricane with peak winds of 179 to 209 kilometers per hour.At first sight, the house on Sullivan’s Island looks anything but h urricane-proof. Its redwood shell makes it resemble “a large party lantern” at night, according to one observer. But looks can be deceiving. The house’s wooden frame is reinforced with long steel rods to give it extra strength.To further protect the house from hurricane damage, Huff raised it 2.7 meters off the ground on timber pilings (桩) — long, slender columns of wood anchored deep in the sand. Pilings might appear insecure, but they are strong enough to support the weight of the house. They also elevate (提升) the house above storm waves. The pilings allow the waves to run under the house instead of running into it. “These swells of water come ashore at tremendous speeds and cause most of the damage done to beach-front buildings,” said Huff.Huff design ed the timber pilings to be partially concealed by the house’s ground-to-roof shell. “The shell masks the pilings so that the house doesn't look like it’s standing with its pant legs pulled up,” said Huff. In the event of a storm surge, the shell should br eak apart and let the waves rush under the house, the architect explained.32. After the tragedy caused by Hurricane Hugo, new houses built along South Carolina’s shore line should ________.A. be easily reinforcedB. look smarter in designC. be designed in the shape of cubesD. satisfy higher building standards33. Huff raised the house 2.7 meters off the ground on timber pilings in order to ____.A. prevent water from rushing into the houseB. make stronger pilings deep in the sandC. break huge sea waves into smaller onesD. withstand peak winds of about 200 km/h34. The main function of the shell is _______.A. to strengthen the pilings of the houseB. to protect the wooden frame of the houseC. to give the house a better appearanceD. to slow down the speed of the swelling water35. It can be inferred from the passage that the shell should be _____.A. fancy-lookingB. water-proofC. extremely strongD. easily breakable第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
