江苏省2022-2023学年高一下学期期末英语试卷学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________一、阅读理解As any cat owner will tell you, talking to your cat is totally normal. And even though feline(猫) friends may seem distant to these adoring talks, a new study in Animal Cognition suggests they are really listening.Researchers in France exposed house cats to recordings of their owner or a stranger saying phrases in cat-or human-directed speech. Like baby talk, cat-directed speech is typically higher pitched with short, repetitive phrases. The team found that felines tended to react to their owner speaking in cat-directed speech—but not to their owner speaking in adult tones or to a stranger using either adult-or cat-directed speech.Previous research had shown similar findings in dogs, but much less is known when it comes to cats. “Some people still consider cats independent—you cannot have a real relationship with cats,” says lead study author Charlotte Mouzon, a cat behaviorist at the University of Paris Nanterre. Some people might be embarrassed about using special vocalizations for cats, she says, but this research shows “people shouldn’t be ashamed.”Mouzon and her team recorded 16 cat owners saying such as “Do you want to play?” or “Do you want a treat?” in cat-and human-directed speech. Then they filmed each cat before, during and after playing it a series of recordings of its owner and other owners’ speech. The researchers used software to rate the cats’ reactions from multiple dimensions, making the result more convincing.“Although cats have a reputation for ignoring their owners, a growing body of research indicates that cats pay close attention to humans,” says Kristyn Vitale, a cat behavior scientist at Unity College in Maine, who was not involved in the study. “Cats can learn that specific speech has certain meanings.” But she notes the study is too small and that future work is needed to expand the research to other cat populations.1．According to paragraph 2, what do house cats respond obviously to? A．The owner’s cat-directed tone. B．A stranger’s human-directed talks. C．A stranger’s cat-directed recordings. D．The owner’s human-directedspeech.2．What does the underlined word “vocalization” mean in paragraph 3? A．Strategies. B．Trainings. C．Sounds. D．Rhymes. 3．What makes Mouzon’s findings more reliable?A．Continuous filming of cats’ responses. B．Comprehensive analyses backed by software.C．Multi-dimensional evaluations of cats’ habits. D．Further reference to previous studies on dogs.4．What is the limitation of Mouzon’s research?A．Lack of sample types. B．Absence of owners’ support. C．Absence of scientific tools. D．Lack of experts’ involvement.As a youngster, there was nothing I liked better than Sunday afternoons at my grandfather’s farm in western Pennsylvania. Surrounded by miles of winding stone walls, the house and field provided endless hours of fun for a city kid like me. I was used to tidy living rooms that seemed to whisper, “Not to be touched!”I can still remember one afternoon when I was eight years old. Since my first visit to the farm, I had wanted more than anything to be allowed to climb the stone walls surrounding the houses. My parents would never approve. The walls were old; some stones were missing, others loose and falling. Still, my idea to climb across those walls grew so strong that finally, one spring afternoon, I had all my courage to enter the living room, where the adults had gathered after Sunday dinner.“I, uh—I want to climb the stone walls,” I said. Everyone looked up. “Can I climb the stone walls?” Immediately voices of disagreement went up from the women in the room. “Heavens, no! You’ll hurt yourself!” I wasn’t too disappointed; the response was just as I’d expected. But before I could leave the room, I was stopped by my grandfather’s loud voice. “Now hold on just a minute,” I heard him say. “Let the boy climb the stone walls. He has to learn to do things for himself.”“Go,” he said to me, “and come and see me when you get back.” For thenext two and a half hours I climbed those old walls—and had the time of my life. Later I met with my grandfather to tell him about my adventures. I’ll never forget what he said. “Fred,” he said, smiling, “You made this day a special day just by being yourself. Always remember, there’s only one person in this whole world like you, and I like you exactly as you are.”Many years have passed since then, and today I host the television program Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood, seen by millions of children throughout America. There have been changes over the years, but one thing remains the same: my message to children at the end of almost every visit. “There’s only one person in this whole world like you.” the kids can count on hearing me say, “and people can like you exactly as you are.”5．When the writer was small, he lived ________.A．in the city B．on the farmC．with his grandparents D．away from his parents6．The underlined word “approve” in paragraph two means ________. A．prove B．suppose C．allow D．mind7．We can learn from the passage that the writer was ________. A．adventurous B．funny C．smart D．talkative 8．What did the writer learn from his grandfather and his own experience on the farm?A．To do things for others. B．To do whatever he liked.C．To be proud of himself. D．To be himself.You’ve heard the predictions from some of the brightest minds about AI’s influence. Tesla and SpaceX’s chief Elon Musk worries that AI is far more dangerous than nuclear weapons. The late scientist Stephen Hawking warned that AI could serve as the “worst event in the history of our civilization” unless humanity is prepared for its possible risks.But many experts, even those who are aware of such risks, have a more positive attitude, especially in health-care and possibly in education. That is one of the results from a new AI study released Monday by the Pew Research Centre.Pew canvassed the opinions of 979 experts over the summer, a group thatincluded famous technologists, developers, innovators, business and policy leaders. The interviewed experts, some of whom chose to remain anonymous, were asked to join in the discussion of a serious and important question: “By 2030, do you think it is most likely that advancing AI and related technology systems will improve human capacities and control them?”Nearly two-thirds of experts predicted most of us will be mostly better off. But a third thought otherwise, and a majority of the experts expressed at least some concerns over the long-term impact of AI on the “essential elements of being human”. Among those concerns were data abuse, loss of jobs and loss of control brought by autonomous weapons and cybercrime. Above all, by taking data in and spitting answers out, those “black box” tools make decisions in digital systems. It is an erosion in our ability to think for ourselves.9．Why is Stephen Hawking mentioned in the first paragraph?A．To warn humans to give up AI as soon as possible.B．To remind readers that a new AI age has come into view.C．To prove great scientists care much about the future of AI.D．To introduce the main idea of the text that AI benefits the future. 10．What is true of Pew’s study?A．Most experts are certain that AI will be out of control.B．Pew asked experts from different fields for opinions.C．Pew concludes that humans will suffer from AI.D．33% of experts think AI will have little impact on humans.11．Why some experts concern about “black box” tools?A．Because they make decisions in digital systems.B．Because they can take data in and spit answers out.C．Because they may weaken our ability to think independently.D．Because they may decrease humans’ welfare in the long term.12．What is the last paragraph mainly about?A．Experts’ concern about AI. B．Humans’ being controlled by AI. C．Experts’ Expectation of AI. D．AI’s influence on society.二、七选五what you were saying? While you may think yourself to be a great speaker, itis not particularly hard to annoy your audience. Here are the top three of annoying habits in a presentation: reading the presentation (37%), having no knowledge of the subject matter (22%), using many “umms” and “uhhs” (16%).So here are some tips to help you avoid these annoying mistakes.The most annoying presentation habit is also one of the easiest to fall victim to. With a visual aid, you tend to look back and read what you have already written. 14 By reading your slides, you show no additional information, and therefore give your audience no reason to keep listening once they have finished reading the slide themselves.One guideline I find especially effective is to ensure each slide has no more than six main points, and no more than six words per point. 15 Whenin practice, having slides with flexible layouts and proper pictures is equally important.16 The more prepared you are, the better you can effectively avoid sounding like you’ve never even heard of your topic before. So in order to show your audience you know your stuff, getting ready will make all the difference.The third most annoying habit was using many “umms” and “uhhs”, a symptomof not communicating effectively. This could be a result of stage fright, but more often than not these interjections (感叹词) happen unconsciously.17One tip for avoiding this is to practice your presentation multiple times beforehand, out loud. The more you practice, the more likely you can catch yourself before letting the “umms” and “uhhs” slip out.A．Was it boring?B．Were people interested?C．It helps you to save your time.D．This stops you overloading your slides with information.E．Despite how innocent they seem, they can ruin your credibility.F．Avoiding another annoying habit comes down to one factor: preparation.G．However, all this shows is that you can do what your audience can as well.三、完形填空Charles Dickens. From Oliver Twist to A Tale of Two Cities, many of Dickens’works still sell well today and are placed on 19 shelves.As someone who teaches Dickens, the question of why we still read him is often on my mind. That question, however, was never more troubling to me than when I was giving a lecture one day, nearly ten years ago. I was telling the students that his writing created a “tune-in-next-week” type of 20 among readers. Then, a hand shot up. “But why should we still read this stuff?”the student asked. The answer I gave at that time was merely 21 . “Because he teaches you how to think,” I said.The question 22 me for years, and for years I told myself answers,but never with complete satisfaction. We read Dickens because he was not justa man of his own times, but also a man for our times. We read Dickens becausehis 23 of the human psyche (心灵) is deep. We read Dickens because wecan learn from the experiences of his characters almost as 24 as we can learn from our own experiences.These are all wonderful reasons to read Dickens. But these are not exactlythe reasons why I read Dickens.My search for an answer 25 but never with success, until one daya text message came from a student of mine. “We still read Dickens’ novels,”she wrote, “because the tell us why we are what we are.” Simple as it was, that’s the explanation I had 26 for years.Like most people, I knew who I was without 27 it. I was Oliver Twist, always asking for more. I was Nicholas Nickleby, 28 that my dead father was watching me from beyond the grave. I was Pip, in love with someonefar beyond my 29 . I was all of these 30 and I began to understand more about why I was who I was because Dickens had told me so much about human beings and human 31 .Dickens casts a light on who we are during the best of times and the worstof times. That’s why we still need to 32 him today.18．A．always B．never C．hardly D．often19．A．top B．dusty C．library D．outstanding 20．A．profits B．sales C．excitement D．opinions 21．A．acceptable B．unforgettable C．reliable D．available 22．A．surprised B．bothered C．frightened D．excited 23．A．destination B．function C．investigation D．organization 24．A．heavily B．easily C．hardly D．quickly 25．A．continued B．waited C．started D．repeated 26．A．sought B．proposed C．demanded D．found 27．A．noticing B．losing C．knowing D．explaining 28．A．hoping B．believing C．realizing D．worrying 29．A．control B．belief C．comprehension D．limit 30．A．instructors B．actors C．characters D．spirit 31．A．suffering B．rights C．impact D．nature 32．A．comment B．admire C．read D．respect四、用单词的适当形式完成短文阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

So why do people sometimes believe that their remedies work? According to James Taylor, professor at the University of Washington, colds usually go away on their own in about a week, improving a little each day after symptoms peak, so it's easy to believe it's medicine rather than time that deserves the credit,USATodayreported.

She headed to her mother’s closet next, literally dusting off spiderwebs from some shoes. Then she rushed to give them all away to the barefoot children.Later that year, with the help of her parents, Sia founded Sole Warriors, a charity organization devoted to providing footwear for those in need, as is clearly shown by its motto: “Donate a sole (鞋底), save a soul.” Telephone calls from people who wanted to help came flooding in. For months, Sia stayed up till 2 a. m, contacting people and dealing with related affairs. Now in its fifth year, the organization collects used footwear, repairs it and donates the finished products to people in need. In its first campaign, Sole Warriors gave out 700 pairs of shoes. Today that number stands at around 28, 000, thanks to the hard work of a team of about 80 volunteers.But the oragnisation’s growth wasn’t without its challenges. When Sia was trying to find a company which was willing to repair and clean up the worn-out shoes free of charge, she faced one difficulty after another before finding a partner in India’s Pressto Cobbler. “Being a 13-year-old, I did face a lot of bias (偏见) because at my age, people were less willing to hear me out,” says Sia.In recognition of her impact, in 2021 Sia was given the Diana Award, one of the greatest honours a young person can receive for social work. But her work isn’t done.“Our goal has always been to touch a million feet,” she says.4．What does the underlined part indicate?A．Sia’s parents cared for others very much.B．Actually spiderwebs covered some shoes.C．Her mother’s closet was covered with dust.D．The shoes hadn’t been worn for a long time.5．Why did Sia set up Sole Warriors?A．To provide free shoes for those in need.B．To improve her problem-solving ability.C．To encourage people to buy only what they need.D．To win the Diana Award for social contributions.6．What challenge did Sia face in running the organization?A．Few people would donate shoes.B．The running costs were too high.C．Communicating ability prevented her.D．She had difficulty finding a cooperator.7．Which can serve as the best title for the text?A．Clothes do not make the man.B．Walk in someone else’s shoes.C．Learn to walk before you run.D．Life without difficulties is too dull.Tim Cook of Apple and Bob Iger of Disney lead the trend among CEOs to wake early, often before 6 am, a habit shared by two-thirds of American CEOs. This contrasts sharply with the general population, where less than a third rise early. The underlying message is that early rising relates to success.Bartleby, a columnist, has tried early starts and acknowledges benefits like clearing inboxes and solving problems before the day's mess. A 2012 study supports the benefits of early rising. It finds early risers to be happier and healthier, while night owls often suffer from insufficient sleep, affecting their mood, health, and productivity. The research also indicates that late risers earn 4% less than early risers. What's more, early risers enjoy higher social status, with latecomers often viewed as lazy or undisciplined.However, rising early has its drawbacks. Early risers might end up working as late as othersdue to urgent tasks that arise during the day. Moreover, they may become socially dull, missing out on evening socializing. Night owls, by contrast, tend to engage more in social activities.Changing one's natural sleep pattern is difficult due to genetic (基因的) factors. Bartleby's own attempts to wake early led to too much caffeine consumption. Finally, the best advice might be to accept one's natural rhythm and stop worrying about your body clock. Most people are neither early birds nor night owls, but in between. Many, including Bartleby, get sleepy in the afternoon, too. That is why most offices operate between 9 and 5 and why they ought to have nap rooms.8．What does the author want to prove by mentioning Tim Cook and Bob Iger?A．Waking up early has something to do with success.B．Rising early enjoys great popularity among CEOs.C．Starting early tells CEOs and general people apart.D．Getting up early benefits people's mood and health.9．What can be concluded about early risers?A．They suffer from insufficient sleep.B．They are better paid than later risers.C．They tend to be the last to leave the office.D．They spare evening time for social events.10．What does the author suggest on changing the sleep pattern?A．Adjust the body clock gradually.B．Drink caffeine to keep awake.C．Don't transform the natural rhythm.D．Don't get into the napping habit. 11．What does the passage mainly focus on?A．Advantages and disadvantages of early starts.B．Development and importance of early rising.C．Relationship between early starts and success.D．Differences between early birds and night owls.The UK is now the most overweight nation in Europe and the evidence is all around us. As a doctor, I see it daily in practice, dealing with its complications (并发症) ranging from diabetes and high blood pressure to heart disease and cancer. So what are we doing about it?Not enough is the honest answer. First, weight management services, such as mental health guidance, surgery and slimming drugs remain very limited. Also, measures taken in consulting rooms are too often centered around scaring people into action: if you don’t lose weight you will have a heart attack or develop diabetes.Scaring the individual is neither helpful nor effective. Becoming more active is beneficial for many reasons, but exercise alone is not a great way to lose weight, not least because you have to run for at least an hour to burn off a beef pie. Drugs and surgery also have their place but are not required for most overweight people. So I prefer to combine proper exercise with a diet for the best result. But which diet?Often I recommend the low-carb approach, which involves cutting back on sugary drinks and foods, and starches (淀粉) such as rice and bread. I don’t believe there is anything magical about the approach but it has a number of benefits: it seems easier to follow than many other approaches, and it helps lower blood sugar levels for the ten million or so people in the UK who already have type 2 diabetes or are at high risk of developing it.Solving the obesity (肥胖) problem involves not only supporting and encouraging the individual, but also changing public health and government policy. Efforts are being made and change is already under way.12．How does the author illustrate his opinion in paragraph 2?A．By explanation.B．By example.C．By comparison.D．By assumption. 13．What are the benefits of the low-carb approach?A．It helps to reduce body weight quickly.B．It saves patients from drugs and surgery.C．It’s effective and promotes food industry.D．It’s easy to stick to and lowers blood sugar.14．The main purpose of the passage isA．to provide practical suggestionsB．to criticize traditional approachesC．to present the findings of a researchD．to analyse the causes of a problem15．What is the author’s attitude to the future of solving the obesity problem?A．Critical.B．Positive.C．Uncaring.D．Uncertain.There are many tough talks we need to have in our daily lives. When we do have them, it’s likely that we end up yelling at each other. That is because our brains treat having our ideas attacked in the same way our body is being attacked. 16 Follow the tips below and you will find a way out.Prepare aheadAre you trying to persuade the other person to accept your viewpoint or solve a problem? It’s important to understand why you want to have the conversation in the first place. Then practice your message. 17 When you begin, explain that you’d like to start by hearing the other person’s point. This relieves tension and shows that you’re on the same team.Actively listenWait patiently for someone to finish their sentence. Don’t interrupt. Really listen.18 . For example: “I heard you say you’re upset because you think our group dragged the class down in this activity. Am I right?”Then ask deeper questions that get at the person’s values.A good example: “What led you to feel so strongly about this?”Slow it down19 Speak slower. If you need a longer break, explain that the conversation isn’t going the way you’d hoped and ask to continue it later. Then offer to take some action to further educate yourself on the subject before your next conversation. This builds trust.Discuss next stepsAsk the other person how he or she wants to move forward. And remember, it’s OK to disagree. 20 People are giving you the gift of their time even if they disagree with you. The goal is not to “win”the conversation, but to communicate important, if difficult,information in a way the other person can process and be heard themselves.A．And ask if you heard it correctly.B．Try to remember what the speaker said.C．If things get heated, take some deep breaths.D．Thank the person for his or her willingness to talk.E．Write it down and practise it in a calm tone of voice.F．How can we carry out a tough conversation smoothly?G．What helps us win a conversation when we feel threatened?二、完形填空The fire raced through Lahaina so fast that it destroyed more than 2,200 buildings, most of them homes. It left more than 7,000 people without their 21 .As the fire was 22 nearer that afternoon, Kalyn Lepre, a 36-year-old designer, grabbed her wallet and drove out of town.

Markowicz Fine Art Gallery.2.How much should a couple pay if they want to see Carol Bove's sculptures with their 10-year-old daughter？______A. ＄40.B. ＄30.C. ＄20.D. ＄10.3.When can you enjoy the works by Van Gogh？______A. At 9：30 am on Sep.8.B. At 4：00 pm on Dec.31.C. At 8：00 pm on Nov.30.D. At 10：30 am on Oct.16.BAt 65，Bryony Harris took out her pension （退休金） and signed up for a psychotherapy （心理治疗） course. "I'm happy that I used my pension to train for a new career，" she says.Now，at 74，she has a successful psychotherapy practice in Fredrikstad，Norway. "I just knew it was the right time，and I felt equipped to do it.It was the very best thing I ever did for myself."The four-year course was on the coast of Denmark.To get there，Harris drove for five hours through southern Norway. "It always felt like coming home，" she says.Her experience was transformative （具有转折性的）.Practising psychotherapy，she says， "helps me to understand the word 'calling'."And yet Harris has had many careers over the decades.At university in Kingston upon Thames，London，she trained as an architect，and then，worked as one "for short and long periods" while raising four children.Next came a period as a photographer on a community arts project，then teaching photography. "The world offered more possibilities than I had ever realised，" Harris says.She regards these moves as gradual shifts （转换）rather than reinvention. "I have never made a decision such as 'I'm going to stop doing that and do something else.' It's always been a gentle progression."Years ago，she and her husband had a dream to open a shop specialising in books about folklore，mythology and tradition.The shop，in Hatherleigh，Devon，is "where the idea of therapy came into my mind.Because in a smallindependent bookshop，people open up and talk." Harris also says that her "therapy side was hiding in the background" when she taught photography.In her 40s，she had a short period of counselling （咨询）.She no longer recalls exactly why，but it must have had an impact because when she turned 60，she wrote letters "to people who had been hugely influential in my life." She searched for her former counsellor，but unfortunately couldn't find him.Harris has a can-do spirit.The best psychotherapy course was in Denmark，so first she had to learn Danish. "I really love a good challenge.Sometimes you can feel very stuck，but that is how I have lived my life，" she says. When she was a child，Harris's parents liked moving.She had nine homes before she went to university. "Now，I have no desire to uproot myself." Her flat looks out over a river，and she has lived there longer than she has lived anywhere else.Each week brings fresh calls to her practice.4.What did Harris think of the psychotherapy course？______A. The journey to it was tiring.B. It helped her make friends.C. She could hardly afford it.D. It made her feel at ease.5.What do we know about Harris's past careers？______A. They were all abandoned for family reasons.B. They led her to find her true calling.C. They made her very important.D. They all proved to be a failure.6.What inspired Harris to take up psychotherapy as a career？______A. Readers' willingness to communicate in the bookshop.B. Her talk with her husband about medical specialists.C. Chats with her students in photography classes.D. Her successful experience as a counsellor.7.What can we infer about Harris from the text？______A. She acts as her parents did.B. She lives her life to the fullest.C. She speaks Danish as her native language.D. She has returned to the place where she was born.CWhen I was in my early teens，I was a huge fan of a local band.I saw them play many times，bought plenty of their posters and records，and was excited when I met them after shows.But as they grew and received more attention from the industry，they started making changes to their music.The rough edges（小缺点） that made them stand out were smoothed over.There wasn't much left that I connected with.I watched as a band I loved turned into something I could hardly recognize.I didn't know much about the music industry at the time，but it was clear to me that they were taking a huge risk.Many artists，understandably，think they will find more commercial success by any aspect of their music or in age that someone might find objectionable （令人反感的）.However，what is unobjectionable is also unremarkable.My experience made me think about what makes someone fall in love with a song or a band.It's different for everyone，I'm sure，but I think one of the key factors that make an artist connect with a fan is realness.When artists write what they think people want to hear instead of what they want to express，they are missing out on points of connection that can turn a casual（偶然的） listener into a super fan.This experience also made me think about what role I wanted to play in the music industry.I knew by then that I didn't have the talent to be an artist myself.But I loved learning about the music industry.I loved doing research on what makes an artist successful and why.When I listened to a new artist or saw a band play，l wanted to find out what made them special，protect it，and share it with the world.I eventually figured out that managers are the ones who are in the best position to achieve that.8.How did the author feel when the band he loved changed its style？______A. he was upset.B. he was carefree.C. he was hopeful of their success.D. He was confused about the reason.9.What does the underline word "eliminating" in paragraph 2 probably mean？______A. Making up for.B. Getting rid of.C. Making use of.D. Getting used to.10.What does the author think helps artists win super fans？______A. Having great talent.B. Being true to themselves.C. Writing songs people like.D. Communicating with listeners.11.What might the author be now？______A. A pop singer.B. A band directorC. An artist manager.D. An educational researcher.DPeople 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 who 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 the 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'm a 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 satellite TVB. Cable TV brought joy to AmericansC. Cable TV has existed for decadesD. Cable TV is the new landline二、阅读七选五：本大题共5小题，共12.5分。

The medevac made its final approach and,guided by the headlights,landed safely.The young patient was loaded onto the plane,and it immediately took off again.Her illness was never publicly disclosed （公开），but she has since been released from the hospital.In a world filled with uncertainty,what happened in the little community was a big deal.Not so much for Nelson.As she told CNN，in Igiugig,coming together "is kind of a normal deal."（1）What can we learn from the passage？ ___A.Ida Nelson was asleep when hearing the circling plane.B.The airport's lights were out due to power failure.C.It was risky for the pilot to land the plane without light.D.Runway lights were finally turned on.（2）Paragraphs 6 and 7 mainly deal with ___ .A.how Nelson came up with a planB.how the problem was solvedC.why more light was neededD.how many villagers they needed（3）What is the story intended to tell us？ ___A.Many hands make light work.B.Failure is the mother of success.C.Challenges can turn into opportunities.D.A man's wisdom is the source of happiness.（4）Which of the following would be the best title of the passage？ ___A.Accidents will happenB.It took a whole villageC.Nelson,a great girlD.Join a great team13.（填空题，10分）No trip to the beach would be complete without a group of hungry gulls （海鸥）.But be careful,because one of those gulls may soon go after your food. "There's a very small number of very daring individuals that seem to harm the reputation of the whole species." Neeltje Boogert,an animal behavior researcher at the University of Exeter,studied the food-snatching （抢，夺） habits of gulls in seaside towns in the southern U.K.and found that very few-only the bravest,would actually take the food or make that the bite.The experiment went like this：A researcher crouched （蹲下） near a gull,then set out a plastic bag of French fries.For those brave gulls that then started to approach,the researcher either stared straight at the gull,as in "I see you,thief," or simply looked away.And it turned out,staring down at the gulls made them hesitate 21 seconds on average before approaching the fries.Gulls aren't the only ones who behave better when being watched.A 2006 study found that people paid three times as much for their drinks at an unattended honor-system coffee bar when just an image of staring eyes was displayed nearby.As for the gulls,Boogert points out that we need to learn to live with them-because the particular species she studied is on the U.K. 's Red List of Birds of Conservation（保护）Concern."The thing is：people don't want to have a seaside holiday without gulls there.So it's just trying to find ways to live together with one of the only wildlife species we still have around in these coastal areas.""So don't turn your back on the gulls," she says. "Both seemingly for conserving the species and,of course,actually-for conserving your lunch."（1）What does the author want to say about gulls in Paragraph1？ ___A.People go to the beach mainly for the gulls.B.People think highly of gulls' courage.C.Gulls have a bad reputation for wasting food.D.Gulls sometimes steal food from beach goers.（2）What is the research method used by Dr.Boogert and her team？ ___A.Doing experiments.pleting questionnaires.C.Referring to documents.D.Making interviews.（3）What does the underlined word "unattended" in Paragraph 4 probably mean？ ___A.Not being loved.B.Not being involved.C.Not being watched.D.Not being needed.（4）What does Dr.Boogert mean in the last paragraph？ ___A.British people are fond of gulls.B.British people care little about gulls.C.British people should protect gulls.D.British people should be warned of gulls.14.（填空题，10分）"Best before"，"Sell by"，"For best results,use by".You probably have many of these labels（标签） on items in your fridge right now."A lot of behavior on what you throw away and how you consume food is determined by what's on the label.So what we're looking at is trying to change behavior,trying to make it the same in terms of how foods are labeled so that we can avoid people throwing away products that are perfectly good to eat."said Pete,senior director at World Wildlife Fund.The Natural Resources Defense Council estimates that 40% of all food in the United States goes uneaten.That translates to some ﹩218 billion in wasted money every year.Beyond the hit to the wallet,food waste in landfills creates CH4，a stronger greenhouse gas than CO2 and these figures don't include the increasing waste producing and transporting food that we don't eat,water and fertilizer（化肥），maintenance of animal habitats and fuel.Another part of the solution could come from Food Date Labeling Act,which would widen federal standards on expiration dates （过期日期） to reduce customer confusion.At present,this is done by states and local governments,so there exists a big confusion and misunderstanding in terms of the language.The House bill recommends a label of "Best if used by" for when a product's quality or freshness may start to worsen and then "Use by" for when it's definitely time to throw it.Pete recommends a little bravery. "As director of the program,I find that I'm eating a lot of food that most people probably wouldn't.We need more food-waste warriors（战士）.We need people that are willing to cut the mold off cheese or fuzz （茸毛） out of the sour cream because it's not gonna worsen anything.And you're gonna save food and help save the environment in the process."（1）What may the underlined word "it" in Paragraph 2 refer to？ ___A.The food in the bag.B.The language on the label.C.Consumers' behavior.D.Food waste.（2）How does the author prove the seriousness of food waste in Paragraph 3？ ___A.By making comparisons.B.By providing numbers.C.By giving examples.D.By quoting famous sayings.（3）Confusion caused by labels can be lessened by ___ .A.standardizing the languageB.saving foodC.forbidding using labelsD.improving education（4）What advice did Pete give to us in the last paragraph？ ___A.We should not throw away any food.B.We can still eat food that is not fully bad.C.We can cut up cheese before eating.D.We should be on diets to save the environment.15.（填空题，12.5分）Some people succeed,while others do not.This is because some people possess certain qualities that others do not have.The first

江苏省南通市2023-2024学年高一下学期6月期末英语试题
江苏省南通市2023-2024学年高一下学期6月期末英语试题一、阅读理解Many islands far from the continents should fire the imaginations of adventurers or explorers nowadays. Tristan da CunhaTristan da Cunha, the southernmost inhabited(有人居住的) island of the British territory(领土) in the southern Atlantic, is located approximately 2,100 km south of the nearest inhabited land, with a coastline of 34 km and a cloud-covered volcanic cone. SpitsbergenSpitsbergen, Norway’s largest island, about 950 km north of the European coast, is covered in snow and ice, with a sizable population of polar bears. Its main settlement, Longyearbyen, sits less than 3.2 km away from the Svalbard Global Seed Vault—a secure facility intended to safeguard the seeds of the world’s food plants in case of a global disaster. Pitcairn IslandThis small volcanic island, the only inhabited island of the British overseas territory of four islands in the South Pacific, is probably best known as the settlement for the mutineers(叛变者) of the British ship HMS Bounty in 1790. It’s also near one of the world’s largest marine reserves. South GeorgiaSouth Georgia, part of the British overseas territory in the south Atlantic, is about 4,790 km west of Cape Town, South Africa. Large quantities of animal life there and around have invited a small number of scientists as the island’s few inhabitants. It’s best known as the final site of the arduous journey made by British explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton, who first crossed South Georgia Island in 1916.1．Which of the islands doesn’t belong to England?A．Pitcairn Island.B．South Georgia.C．Tristan da Cunha.D．Spitsbergen.2．What do the islands mentioned in the passage share?A．They are inhabited with many people.B．They are distant but appealing places.C．They are being safeguarded by scientists.D．They are in the southern part of the Earth. 3．What is the purpose of the passage?A．To introduce some islands to readers.B．To promote the world’s island tourism.C．To draw explorers’ attention to global disasters.D．To illustrate England has many overseas territories.On August 21, 1911, a plumber(水管工)in the Louvre Museum in Paris noticed a man standing in front of a door, unable to open it because of the missing doorknob(门把). The plumber used his key to open the door for the man, who was dressed in a white uniform of the Louvre’s maintenance staff(维护人员). In fact, the unknown man had something very valuable hidden underneath his uniform: Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa.The security was unbelievably terrible, especially on a painting with the then-insignificant reputation of the Mona Lisa. No one was even aware of the theft(偷窃)until the next day when a painter named Louis Beroud came to copy the painting. An alarm was raised, and police later found the glass box in a service stairway.Days passed, but no evidence was found. Great anger quickly grew and spread among the public and press. But no one could even figure out a motive for the theft. “Why the theft happened is a mystery to me, as I consider the picture valueless in the hands of a private individual,” said the assistant curator(馆长), Monsieur Benedite.Two years of silence followed, and the theft was almost forgotten. Then a man calling himself“Leonardo”contacted Alfredo Geri, an art dealer in Florence, Italy, saying he had the Mona Lisa and meant to return the painting to da Vinci’s homeland. Geri managed to talk“Leonardo”into bringing the painting to Florence, promising him 500, 000 lire for his effort. The police were brought in and“Leonardo”was found to be Vincenzo Peruggia, a house painter, with a little secret ambition in life.After a lengthy trial, Peruggia, for some reason, was only sentenced to one year and 15 days in jail, later reduced to seven months and nine days. Despite different versions of the story in some details, the punishment proved to be a small price to pay for the greatest art theft of the 20th century.4．Why did the plumber help the thief open the door?A．He just played his part in their plan.B．He cared little about the painting at all.C．He took the man for a common worker.D．He worried about being killed by the thief.5．What contributed most to the success of the theft?A．The safety measures weren’t strict.B．The police didn’t try their best at all.C．The picture enjoyed significant fame.D．The assistant curator was irresponsible. 6．What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?A．A further description of the Mona Lisa.B．A reasonable doubt about the theft.C．The process of the thief’s being caught.D．The importance of bringing in the police. 7．What can we learn from the passage?A．Peruggia was slightly punished for the theft.B．People then showed little interest in the theft.C．The theft added to the value of the Mona Lisa.D．The thief paid little money for the Mona Lisa.On an early winter morning, a small group of students and tourists were taking pictures of the horses with their phones. These horses, known locally as takhi and globally as Przewalski’s horse, are unique. They are the only type that has never been trained and they are the fruits of one of the most successful ever wildlife reintroduction plans of Hustai National Park.“Horses are key to our culture. Everyone is glad to have them back,” says Dashpurev with a smile, who is in charge of Hustai National Park. Once hunted to extinction in the wild in the 1960s, Przewalski’s horses now number nearly 1,000, at three sites across Mongolia, as well as in China and Kazakhstan. The largest population — numbering 423 — is in central Mongolia’s Hustai National Park. These horses are descendants (后代) of 84 animals that were airlifted from European zoos in the 1990s.“Before the reintroduction, no one believed we could save this species,” recalls Dashpurev. Now, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) has downgraded Przewalski’s horse from “critically endangered” to “endangered”, marking a significant milestone in their recovery.However, despite this success story, Mongolia faces numerous challenges in protecting its other species. Besides hunting, the climate emergency is putting more pressure. Temperatures arerising three times faster than the global average, bringing more extreme weather events that wipe out large numbers of animals.Faced with this crisis, the government has taken actions to protect wild areas. In 1998, Mongolia promised to protect 30% of its territory by 2030 — a goal adopted by 100 other countries in 2021. So far it is on 21%. Last year, the president launched a drive to plant 1 billion trees by 2030 and tough fines have had success in stopping illegal hunting.Yet these efforts are hamstrung (妨碍) by a lack of funding. “The government wants to grow the economy. That’s the key thing for them, so they are putting a lot of effort into agriculture and mining,” says Buuveibaatar, a scientist at the Wildlife Conservation Society, “Wildlife is ignored. As a result, some of its conservation areas are paper parks. The Przewalski’s horse reintroduction plan is an example of how to save wildlife. Now, the challenge lies in introducing this success to the rest of the country’s other wildlife.”8．Why are these horses unique according to the passage?A．They are airlifted from European zoos.B．They are successfully introduced species.C．They are the only true wild horse species.D．They can only be photographed in Mongolia.9．What was the public’s attitude towards saving these horses before the reintroduction?A．Relieved.B．Supportive.C．Uninterested.D．Doubtful. 10．Why is the climate emergency mentioned in Paragraph 4?A．To introduce the reasons for wildlife extinction.B．To explain its influence on wildlife in Mongolia.C．To stress the challenges facing wildlife protection.D．To express the author’s feelings about the extinction.11．What does Buuveibaatar imply in the last paragraph?A．Hustai National Park provides a positive model.B．The government’s focus should be the economy.C．Other countries can help by following the footsteps.D．The Przewalski’s horse is the only one worth saving.Neuralink has conducted its first surgical test of a brain chip implant(芯片植入), announcing a new step of Elon Musk’s ambitious plan to let humans wirelessly(无线)connect their brains with phones and other devices.Months before, for its clinical trial, Neuralink called for volunteers aged 22 and above with quadriplegia(四肢瘫痪)due to a brain injury or ALS, a disease that prevents people from controlling their bodies.This clinical trial is called PRIME—for Precise Robotically Implanted Brain-Computer Interface. As the name implies, the process involves using a robot to surgically put the wires of the company’s implant into a part of the brain related to movement.The implant procedure employs custom-made microscopic needles. The tip is only 10 to 12 microns in width—slightly larger than the diameter of a red blood cell, which allows threads to be put in with minimal damage to the brain.Neuralink has previously faced different opinions due to accusations(指控)in 2022 and 2023 against the effect the company’s practices produced on monkeys and other animals used in testing. “No monkey has died as a result of a Neuralink implant,” Musk said in response last September, “to reduce risk to healthy monkeys, we chose terminal monkeys.”Research in computers and neurology(神经学)has been going for decades, including the fast growing field of decoding(解码)the brain’s electrical activity around words,impulses and images. Much of the ongoing research has sought to bring people affected by paralysis and blindness new ways of interacting with the world. But implants have also long been seen as having the potential to “enhance” people who aren’t affected by such serious conditions. “Imagine the joy of connecting with your loved ones, surfing the Internet or even playing games using only your thoughts,” Neuralink said.12．Through brain chip implant test, Neuralink aims____________.A．to reduce people’s control over the outside worldB．to call for more people to volunteer in the researchC．to cure people of diseases such as quadriplegia and ALSD．to enable people to use modern devices with their minds13．What does the underlined word “terminal” in paragraph 5 probably mean?A．Full of energy.B．Close to death.C．Willing to be volunteers.D．Unlikely to be sick.14．What can be concluded about the Neuralink implant?A．It has been going on for decades.B．It can also benefit healthy people.C．It can make your loved ones happier.D．It is conducted widely across the world. 15．Which of the following is a suitable litle for the text?A．Neuralink Put Implant into a Human BrainB．Neuralink Researched in Computer TechnologyC．Neuralink Helped to Connect Your Beloved OnesD．Neuralink Treated Rare Diseases Just with NeedlesYou have worked hard for years to achieve your dream. And you can finally sit back and enjoy the fruits of your efforts. 16 You are feeling bad, thinking, “nothing makes me happy.” Here are some possible reasons and solutions. You have a false image of happiness.You actually have your own view of happiness. However, you’re likely to be led to believe that material gains are all that makes happiness, like a big house with grounds and a swimming pool, expensive cars, or a bank account with lots of money. 17 TV shows and movies with such a lifestyle often misguide you to spend your hard-earned dollars. You should enjoy the moment, even if you have further to go on the road to success. Happiness comes from your achievement, and the promise of more achievement ahead. You feel envious (嫉妒).When you see someone with a better car, or a better house, it is easy to feel you have failed if you don’t have the same. Your envy may date back to your school years when you didn’t keep up with your peers. In fact, you should remember that you are a success. 18 Hang about with less materialistic people, and you will find that you will soon stop thinking about yourself. 19 Your inner feeling of inadequacy (不足) may stand in your way to happiness despite your success. You are likely to believe your achievement is not big enough, and you must reach the next goal. This process will just continue, leaving you unsatisfied. So, you should look at things from a different angle. 20In a word, fill yourself with positive thoughts, and happiness will return to your life. A．You are never satisfied.B．Yet happiness still escapes from you.C．You have a negative attitude toward happiness.D．But you can never achieve any more if this situation remains.E．Feel positive and happy with what you have already achieved.F．Look outward and try to make a change to your friendship circle.G．You have been pulled into a world of a different dream beyond yours.二、完形填空It was during the 2007—2008 financial crisis (金融危机).

"However,there was almost nothing in research on gesturing among twins," Ozcaliskan said.Babies start using pointing around 10 months,a few months before they produce their first words.Gesture helps them convey what they can't yet communicate in speech and prepares the way for children's early words.Twins sometimes develop their own systems of communication,even their own "twin language," which has also been shown to delay language acquisition. "Perhaps it also delays the use of gestures.Gesture and speech together form a closely integrated system in a child's development,and a child's first gestures often precede their first attempts at speech," Ozcaliskan said."Gesture is a very powerful tool," she said. "Pay attention to your child's gestures,and thenprovide verbal（言语的）descriptions to help their language development,such as naming objects when children point to them."4.What mainly causes twins to produce and use fewer gestures？______A.

Years later,when I returned to the University of Southern California,I began analyzing a large sample of SSR studies to determine what made them effective and found that successful programs shared five key factors：easy access to reading materials,sufficiently interesting materials,teachers' encouragement,follow-up activities and reading at least twice a week.In fact,only when teachers follow specific guidelines do these programs achieve their full potential.Having learned this,I decided to create an "ideal" SSR program for my students by employing the five factors above.At the same time,another high school in our district also madethe decision to offer students SSR time each day.However,having no knowledge of the five factors,the teachers simply asked their students to "read anything for fifteen minutes."The result was that the students at my school outperformed（胜过）the other school in four areas：reading comprehension,positive attitudes toward reading,frequency of after-school pleasure reading,and use of a wider range of reading sources.I shared my findings with the other school's staff members.Since then,both schools have experienced the positive benefits of SSR. Today,I have given many lectures at a wide variety of schools where teachers are eager to learn "how-to" methods for developing programs that will motivate their students to become hooked on reading.They ask a variety of excellent questions and I have never been bored of answering them.8.What do we know about the SSR program from Paragraph 1？______A. It's an after-class reading program.B. It suits students of all grade levels.C. It requires teachers to select books according to their interest.D. It's easy to conduct the SSR program successfully in practice.9.Years later the author's studies of SSR showed that ______ .A. fifteen minutes' reading a week was enough.B. successful SSR programs relied on five key factors.C. easy reading materials made SSR programs effective.D. students' potential could be achieved through reading.10.The author's "ideal" SSR program helps his students perform better in ______ .A. positive life attitudesB. great interest in studyingC. understanding abilities in readingD. owning wider studying sources11.The author writes the passage to ______ .A. introduce his specific progress in studying SSRB. tell readers about his SSR teaching experienceC. talk about his confusion about teaching readingD. share the "how-to" of Sustained Silent ReadingDWe visited Rome for the first time a few years ago,and my memories aren't ones of buildings,statues,or even the food.It's the selfie-sticks（自拍杆）-being sold on every street corner,and being put to use everywhere we went.When traveling,people were photographing themselves,often without bothering to look at all the beauty behind them.Research shows that we're distracted by photography.When we take pictures,we may improve our chances of remembering the facts,like where we were or what we ate.But we miss out on other details,and don't see the "big picture" because we're too focused on the small picture on our screen.What's more,if we rely on photographs to store our experiences,we spend less time practising the act of remembering.And by not stretching our recall muscles regularly,we don't strengthen particular memories.As a result,we may end up with very shallow records of the past.And that's especially true if we're always photographing ourselves.Selfies reveal little about the "big picture"-what's happening around us,or how we were really feeling at the time.So take photographs to remind you of key details,to be creative,and to show to family and friends.But get into the habit of capturing experiences with your mind too.Consciously take in everything around e all your senses,not just your eyes.Be aware of your thoughts and feelings,too.It's a great habit to get into.You'll experience more if you're not fussing with（瞎忙一气）your phone.You'll create more durable memories by returning to the photos again and again.You'll also be exercising your brain,which is the best way to keep it working well for everything.And in the process,I bet you'll discover that your memory is by far the most interesting lens（透镜）through which to look back at your past.12.What is the purpose of the first paragraph？______A. To show the author's travel experience.B. To strengthen the author's trip memories.C. To introduce the topic of the passage.D. To arouse readers interest in travelling.13.The photographic memory of the past is shallow mainly because ______ .A. we focus on remembering factsB. we are busy in taking picturesC. we ignore the "big picture"D. we don't practise remembering14.What does the word "it" refer to in the last paragraph？______A. Capturing experiences with your mind and camera.B. Using the selfie-sticks to take pictures in the trip.C. Relying on photographs to store trip experiences.D. Taking in everything around you with the camera.15.In which section of a magazine will the passage possibly appear？______A. Fun & GamesB. Health & LifeC. Fashion & BeautyD. Technique & Technology二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共12.5分）For four years,as a coordinator（协调员）for the Harvard First Generation Program,I have been sharing bits and pieces of my college experience on this blog. （1）______The most important lesson I learned in college is that you have to give yourself space and time to grow.When I arrived at Harvard,I thought all my college experiences were just the means to the larger end of stability,success,and happiness.（2）______ Keep your goals in mind and allow them to grow as you push beyond your comfort zone.Be willing to change your mind.It feels great to win,but you'll always learn more from your mistakes than you'll learn from the things you got right the first time.Over time,I learned to make space to be a better listener,and to admit when I'm wrong.（3）______（4）______ I was used to handling life without much external guidance.I thought asking for help was equal to admitting defeat,but that wasn't true.Once I realized that,it became easier to allow myself to rely on friends for support when I really needed it.As graduation approaches,I often think about a quote by Morrison："When you get jobs that you have been so brilliantly trained for,remember that your real job is that if you are free,you need to free somebody else. （5）______ I don't know what I'll be doing in five or ten years,but I will be using the resources at my command to live happily with others.A.Don't hesitate to turn to others when necessary.B.Learn to absorb new ideas while remaining true to yourself.C.It's OK to care about those things,but don't box yourself in.D.It can be hard in the moment,but it's valuable in the long run.E.If you have some power,then your job is to empower somebody else.F.Here are some suggestions for those who are to start or finish college.G.So I'd like to share some unforgettable moments about my college life.16.
