He happened to look up and saw Zeus fly by. The king of gods was carrying a lovely river spirit (小精灵) in his arms.“That Zeus,” sighed (叹气) King Sisyphus. “What a trouble-maker!”Soon after, the river god Asopus flew by. “Sisyphus! Have you seen my daughter?” he asked.“If you give my city a source of fresh water, I will tell you what I saw,” King Sisyphus shouted back. Immediately, a clear stream (水流) of fresh water appeared.“Zeus took her that way,” the king pointed.The king knew Zeus would be angry when he found out what he had done. But Corinth badly needed a source of fresh water. And finally, it had one.Sure enough, Zeus was very angry. He told his brother Hades (the god of the underworld) to take Sisyphus to the underworld immediately!“When they tell you I am dead, do not put a gold coin under my tongue,” King Sisyphus said quietly to his wife. As a good wife, she did exactly as the king had told her.Because Sisyphus was an important person, Hades himself met him at the River Styx, the entrance to the underworld. Because no gold coin was placed under his tongue(舌头), the king arrived as a poor beggar.“Where is your gold coin?” Hades asked. “How can you pay for a trip across the River Styx and arrive in the underworld?”King Sisyphus hung his head in shame. “I had a terrible wife. She didn’t give me anything after I had died.”“Go right back there and teach that woman some manners!” Hades raised his voice. He then sent Sisyphus back to Earth. The king became alive again.Sisyphus and his wife laughed when he told her about the experience. But he never told it to anyone else.

In his lifetime, he not only proved that bacteria are the cause of diseases, but also discovered the process of vaccination (接种疫苗) which has saved billions of lives.When Pasteur worked with chickens that were suffering from cholera(霍乱) during his experiments, he accidentally spread cholera to his chickens. Pasteur’s chickens became mildly sick but did not die. This was strange as every chicken that came near cholera earlier had died. He realized soon that the cholera had become weak. By the time he tried again, the chickens he had cured earlier did not get cholera anymore. He realized that a weak cholera helped his chickens develop an antibody against it.Later, Pasteur went on to try this on cows, pigs and dogs. All his research helped him develop different vaccines. We now know that the process of vaccination introduces a weakened kind of bacteria into our body. Our body reacts by creating antibodies to fight the bacteria. Now, when our body comes across the same bacteria which are much stronger, it can fight them off.Louis Pasteur received numerous awards for the advancement of biology, chemistry, and medicine. He founded the Pasteur Institute to study diseases. It was the first university to teach microbiology and today there are 32 institutes across 29 countries. For every childvaccinated against a deadly disease, we have Louis Pasteur to thank.8．What do we know about Louis Pasteur?A．His discoveries weren’t used at his time.B．He discovered the connection between bacteria and diseases.C．He was a professor at the Pasteur Institute.D．His discoveries brought many profits and awards to him.9．What can we learn from his experiment with chickens?A．Cholera was not a deadly disease then.B．Pasteur spread cholera to chickens on purpose.C．All chickens suffered from cholera died at last.D．The weakened cholera couldn’t kill the living creatures10．What is the function of the process of vaccination?A．It builds up people’s body.B．Without it, people will die.C．It improves people’s ability to avoid diseases.D．It can kill all the diseases and make the sick bealthy.11．Why does the author write the passage?A．Because he wants to honour Louis Pasteur and his contribution to the world.B．Because he wants to show the discoveries of the vaccination.C．Because be wants to call on children to learn from Louis PasteurD．Because he wants to introduce an important invention in microbiology.Tall, long-necked giraffes are famous for their spots which are believed to help the animals hide from their enemies. Just like no two humans have the same fingerprints, each giraffe has its own special pattern of spots. However, a Tennessee zoo made headlines recently after it welcomed one of the world’s most uncommon giraffes.On July 31, a baby giraffe was born at Brights Zoo with light brown fur which is a reticulated (网状的) giraffe, one of the four different kinds of giraffes. Unlike most giraffes, she was born without spots, a unique feature of the reticulated giraffe. At six feet tall, this baby giraffe is growing well under her mother’s care. She shows typical baby giraffe behavior, such as eating rocks.Experts said the young giraffe was the only single-colored reticulated giraffe livinganywhere on the planet. The last time this happened was 1972 in Japan. A giraffe’s pattern of spots is created when the animal is still growing inside its mother. That means that this giraffe will never have spots.“The new giraffe might not have survived if she had been born in the wild. Being single-colored, she may not be able to hide quite as well,” said Mr. David Bright, who runs the zoo, “It will easily be a key target for poachers (偷猎者) because she’s so unusual.”Brights Zoo stressed that reticulated giraffes had already become imperiled. In 2018, they were officially listed as “threatened”. Thirty-five years ago, there were 36,000 reticulated giraffes. Now, the number has been cut by more than 50%. Only about 16,000 reticulated giraffes remain.This brown giraffe’s birth is not only a rare and fascinating event, but also an opportunity to raise awareness about the challenges faced by giraffes in the wild. By supporting efforts like this, we can contribute to the conservation of these large creatures and ensure their survival for generations to come.12．What do we know about the spots of giraffes?A．They help protect giraffes.B．They are the same pattern.C．They look like giraffes’ footprints.D．They appear on giraffes occasionally. 13．What makes the young giraffe born at Brights Zoo special?A．Its extremely large size.B．Its light brown fur.C．Its unusual eating habit.D．Its absence of spots.14．What does the underlined word “imperiled” mean in paragraph 5?A．Recognized.B．Endangered.C．Doubled.D．Balanced. 15．Which word can best describe the birth of the young giraffe?A．Awkward.B．Worrying.C．Meaningful.D．Foreseeable.二、七选五V olunteering your time to support a cause you like is something you will never regret.better understand how you fit into the world around you.17 In fact, spending time enriching your community is a great way to broaden your perceptions of the world.

陕西省延安中学2023-2024学年高一下学期第二次月考英语试卷一、阅读理解Four Places to Listen to Free Music OnlinePandoraPandora is a popular Internet radio service that lets users create personalized stations and listen to music. To use Pandora, you will have to create an account using your email address and a password. As you find music you like, you can save songs to your collection. However, you can’t download any specific tracks to your computer or phone.LiveOneOn LiveOne, you’ll mostly find big artists, bands and songs along with interviews and news. While you won’t be able to stream all songs on demand for free due to licensing restrictions (限制), you will be able to create a station of similar tracks/artists from nearly any song. There’s a tab (标签) named “My Library” where you can save and share your favourite music.iHeartRadioiHeartRadio is a great website or app for listening to live radio stations. You can find local stations or check out stations from around the country. You won’t have to create an account to begin listening on iHeartRadio. but you can make one for free to save stations and playlists. Whether you decide to create an account or not. you won’t be able to download music from iHeartRadio.SpotifyIf you’re looking for free music online, you’ve most likely come across Spotify already. This resource is great for streaming popular hits while discovering new favourites. You can keep track of what you’ve recently played, and “favourite” songs. In addition to music. Spotify offers playlists of its most-played songs and information on local upcoming concerts.1．Which is a must before using Pandora?A．Saving some songs.B．Creating an account.C．Calling other users.D．Sending a private email.2．What can you do on “My Library” of LiveOne?A．Download popular songs.B．Make new friends online.C．Share your favourite music.D．Discover radio stations.3．What is special about Spotify?A．It offers news on local upcoming concerts.B．It requires no membership card.C．It allows users to download music for free.D．It features a station of similar artists.Binge-watching (刷剧) is when a person watches more than one episode of a show in a row. With developments in the speed and connectivity of the Internet, increases in technology and the rise of on-demand entertainment companies, people can now have their favorite shows stream (流播) directly to their television at their convenience.This behavior is nothing new. In fact, binge-watching has been officially listed in dictionaries since 2015. The entertainment companies recognize this behavior and many take steps to encourage it. Often, instead of releasing each episode on a week-by-week basis, an entire series will become available concurrently. Once the episode finishes, many platforms will display pop-ups with “you might like” suggestions, or will automatically play the next episode.However, recent research suggests that out of the more than half of British adults who watch more than one episode of a show back-to-back (一集接一集地), almost a third have admitted missing sleep or becoming tired as a result; and 25% have neglected their household chores (家务活). Next we’ll be missing work!Bingeing has other connections — binge eating, binge drinking and binge smoking. All of them are often associated with a lack of control and a possible route to addiction. Lindsey Fussell, consumer group director, said, “The days of waiting a week for the next episode are largely gone, with people finding it hard to resist (抗拒) watching multiple episodes around the house or on the move.” If people find binge-watching hard to resist, are we witnessing the birth of a new type of addiction?The countless number of information and entertainment that television and online media can bring us is, many would say, a good thing. However, when the activity begins to bleed into other areas, causing us to stop functioning, then it becomes a problem. So, what’s the answer? Moderation! Neither a tiny amount, nor too much. After all, as the old proverb says, “A little ofwhat you fancy does you good.”4．How did the writer develop the first paragraph?A．By giving a definition.B．By telling a story.C．By listing some examples.D．By analyzing the cause and effect. 5．Which of the following can best replace the underlined word “concurrently” in Paragraph2?A．For convenience.B．At the same time.C．In detail.D．Free of charge.6．What Lindsey said in Paragraph 4 implies that ______.A．people can’t control their feelings B．people can’t resist the temptation of Bingeing C．people have no patience to do work D．people are addicted to waiting for a new episode7．What advice did the writer give at last?A．To keep online media from stopping functioning.B．To enjoy entertainment as much as possible.C．To learn life lessons from the episodes.D．To watch episodes in a moderate way.This week, Google researchers published a paper describing results from an AI tool built to create music. The tool, called MusicLM, is not the first AI music tool to be launched. But the examples Google provided demonstrate musical creative ability based on a limited set of descriptive words.Several different music examples produced by MusicLM were published online. Some of the generated music came from just one-or two-word descriptions, such as “jazz”, “rock” or “techno (高科技舞曲)”. The tool also created other examples from more detailed descriptions containing whole sentences.In one example, Google researchers included these instructions to MusicLM, “It is a soundtrack of a game. It is fast-paced and upbeat, with a catchy electric guitar riff (反复乐节). The music is repetitive and easy to remember, but with unexpected sounds ...” In the resulting recording, the music seemed to keep very close to the description. The team said the more detailed the description was, the better the system could attempt to produce it.The MusicLM model operates similarly to the machine-learning systems used by ChatGPT. ChatGPT and MusicLM both require powerful computers to operate complex machine-learning models. The San Francisco-based company OpenAI launched ChatGPT late last year. ChatGPT has recently received a lot of attention because of its ability to generate complex writings and other content from just a simple description in natural languages. Such tools can produce human-like results because they are trained on huge amounts of data. Many different materials are fed into the systems to permit them to learn complex skills to create realistic works.However, the MusicLM researchers said there were some risks linked to the new tool. One of the biggest issues the researchers identified was biases (偏好) present in the training data. A bias might be including too much of one side and not enough of the other. The researchers said this raised a question about appropriateness for music generation for cultures underrepresented in the training data.8．What can we learn about MusicLM?A．It is the first AI music tool to be launched.B．It requires detailed descriptions of full sentences.C．It creates music based on simple descriptive words.D．It generates complex writings from a simple description.9．What is the similarity between ChatGPT and MusicLM?A．They can take the place of musicians.B．They have gained commercial success.C．They don't have any practical use in life.D．They are based on huge amounts of data. 10．Which of the following is an issue of the MusicLM model?A．Creating music with strong biases.B．Requiring too much training data.C．Being difficult for some people to use.D．Producing music works with no creativity. 11．What would be the best title for the text?A．The future of humans with AI B．A new AI tool to make musicC．Music created by some AI tools D．AI and its function in culture developmentCyber-bullying (网络欺凌) may take place in the online world, but it is no less damaging than in the real world. The Internet has become a kindness desert, a place where few flowers bloom. Bullying is pretty common. 12 According to those bullied, they’re usually seen asbeing different from the crowd. They are unique.Being bullied is a frustrating and painful experience. Online bullying can really hurt others, and it can have serious consequences. 13 Some people have even committed suicide because they were harassed (侵扰) online and didn’t think it would ever stop. Here are some valuable tips to help you address a bully and protect yourself in a safe way.Don’t blame yourself. 14 It’s only the bully’s fault, so don’t blame yourself for his or her shortcomings.Stay away from bullies. Bullies hope you interact with them so that they have an excuse to keep picking on you. When the bully starts orally attacking you, remove yourself from the situation if you can, simply by walking away.15 Try as you might to ignore the bullies when they are saying ugly things about you. Remind yourself that you are a great person and that nothing the bullies say matters.Speak out. Nobody has the right to make you feel unsafe, uncomfortable or unhappy. Find someone you can talk to, your teacher or your parent and tell them what’s going on. 16 Follow these tips and you should feel well-equipped to deal with your bullies the next time they attack.A．Keep track of bullies.B．Be sure you’re wonderful.C．Adults can offer help if they know about the problem.D．Being bullied can make you feel alone, scared, and hopeless.E．Your parents are willing to help you when recognizing your problem.F．If you are being bullied, it’s essential to know that it is never your fault.G．Studies have found that nearly one-third of all students are bullied each year.二、完形填空The caring employees at a Costco store near Cleveland, Ohio, are being honoured as heroes.

As he stood with his luggage at the check-in for the flight to Singapore, he felt very nervous.“You’ll be fine,”said his dad. “Nothing ever happens on flights nowadays!”Soon it was time to board the aircraft. Benny quickly found his seat and settled down next to an old lady. They started chatting and the lady told him that her name was Mrs. Pang, and that she was on her way to London to visit her son.As the aircraft rushed down the runway, Benny could see that Mrs. Pang was holding onto the chair in front of her, and that she had her eyes shut tight. Although he felt rather anxious himself, he said, “Don’t worry, Mrs. Pang! Nothing ever happens on flights nowadays!”Soon the plane was up in the sky and Benny and his neighbor were enjoying their drinks and the meals which the cabin crew (乘务人员) brought round.Suddenly, the plane began to rock from side to side. The meal trays (托盘) slid around on the little tables and the “Fasten seat belts”sign came on. The pilot told everyone that they must stay in their seats.Mrs. Pang was holding onto something again --- only this time it was Benny’s hand that she was holding!“Don’t worry, Mrs. Pang,”Benny began to say. But then he stopped. What could he say? He just patted her hand and tried to look confident.It took some time before the plane got back to good weather but finally the passengers were told that everything was back to normal. Benny started to watch a film and Mrs. Pang seemed to go to sleep.Suddenly, the plane rolled and without any warning, dropped down. Many people cried out as their belongings fell to the ground. Mrs. Pang also gave a scream and held Benny tightly again --- this time with two hands! But the plane kept going. The pilot announced that it was just an air pocket (气穴) and there was no danger.As they landed at Singapore airport, Mrs. Pang turned to Benny and said, “Thank you very much for your help, Benny.

He was happy to be in Singapore.D. Their flight was great fun.CThe private automobile(私家车) has long played an important role in the United States. In fact, it has become a necessary and important part of the American way of life. In 1986, sixty-nine percent of American families owned at least one car, and thirty-eight percent had more than one. By giving workers rapid transportation, the automobile has freed them from having to live near their place of work. This has encouraged the growth of the cities, but it has also led to traffic problems.For farm families the automobile is very helpful. It has made it possible for them to travel to town very often for business and for pleasure, and also to transport their children to distant schools.Family life has been affected(影响)in various ways. The car helps to keep families together when it is used for picnics, outings, and other shared experiences. However, when teenage children have the use of the car, their parents can’t keep an eye on them. There is a great danger if the driver has been drinking alcohol or taking drugs, or showing off by speeding or breaking down traffic laws. Mothers of victims(受害者)of such accidents have formed an organization called MADD(Mothers Against Drunk Driving). These women want to prevent further tragedies(悲剧). They have worked to encourage the government to limit the youngest drinking age. Students have formed a similar organization, SADD(Students Against Drunk Driving) and are spreading the same message among their friends.For many Americans the automobile is a necessity. But for some, it is also a mark of social position and for young people, a sign of becoming an adult. Altogether, cars mean very much to Americans.28. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the text?A. Cars have encouraged the growth of the cities.B. Cars can bring families together when they go for picnics.C. Cars have enabled people to live far from their place of work.D. Cars help city families to transport their children to faraway schools.29. What has been done to deal with the problem of drunk driving?A. Parents have paid more attention to their children.B. Some organizations have been set up against drunk driving.C. Mothers have tried to persuade their children not to drink alcohol.D. University students have asked the government to solve the problem.30. We can infer from the text that in America____________.A. it will be more difficult for people to get new carsB. parents will not allow their children to have their own carsC. the government will encourage people to use public transportationD. cars will still be popular though they have caused many problems第三部分完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

吉林省四平市第一高级中学2023-2024学年高一上学期第二次月考英语试题
吉林省四平市第一高级中学2023-2024学年高一上学期第二次月考英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解You might find a few good recommendations to be helpful when it comes to adding to your reading list.Young Mungoby Douglas Stuart$26.67Jess needs a fresh start and leans on her half-brother, Ben, who lives in Paris, for a place to stay. When she arrives at his apartment, however, he’s not there. Although she comes to the city of lights to escape the past that has been disturbing her, she finds herself digging into Ben’s future.The It Girlby Ruth Ware$26.67It’s a mystery about one woman’s search to find answers about her friend’s murder. Hannah must search for the truth all over again, which might hit closer to home than she expects. You can start reading this pick on July 12.The Candy Houseby Jennifer Egan$25.20Bix Bouton is 40, father of four kids and hungry for new ideas. After he joins a conversation group, he gets his big new idea: “Own Your Unconscious.” With this technology, you can access every memory you’ve ever had — and exchange them for the memories of others. You can find this book on shelves on April 5.South to Americaby Imani Perry$26.67In this story, a native Alabaman returns home and looks at her state with fresh eyes — and learns about the stories and experiences of others she’s met along the way. By weavingthese stories together, Perry has crafted (精心制作) a book that takes you not only below the Mason-Dixon line but also through the country as a whole. It will be available starting Jan.25.1．What is Yong Mungo about?A．How we can make candy easily at home.B．What an Alabaman experiences in his state.C．How a girl travels to someone else’s future.D．What is the truth behind a person’s murder.2．Which would you choose if you’re interested in recalling your memories?A．The Candy House B．Young MungoC．The It Girl D．South to America3．Where is this text probably taken from?A．A textbook.B．A book list.C．A course plan.D．An academic article.Carol-Anne O’Callaghan, a former teacher from Great Missenden, Buckinghamshire, has fought hard to protect ancient oaks near her home, which she says are home to rare bats.In February 2021, O’Callaghan was walking her dogs when she spotted yellow dots stuck on some of the 99 oak trees in a narrow country lane close to her home. The dots indicated trees marked for destruction. After she learned the trees would be felled as part of the HS2 high-speed railway works, she called the HS2 helpline and was told there was nothing that could be done as an over-road would be built. She gets choked up remembering the moment she realized many of them were to be cut down.O’Callaghan loves that ancient line of oaks. They were planted in the 19th century. “My family and I would picnic under them,” she says, “climb them, have rope swings on them. The trees are amazing and beautiful and meant so much.” One of the last photos of her mother, taken shortly before she died, was of her sitting in a swing in their branches.She noticed that on the other side of the lane, to the north, there were no ancient oaks. So she began campaigning to save the trees. With the help of her daughter, Blaize, she started a petition(请愿书), which went on to get nearly 43,000 signatures. “I saw someone passionate about giving a voice to those who don’t have one, someone not afraid of asking questions and calling out large, daunting businesses for doing the wrong thing,” says her neighbour Victoria.Buckinghamshire Council has got involved, and the felling is paused. A final decision has yet to be made about the proposed over-road. “We’re optimistic that they’ll hear our argument and take the ecology of the lane into account,” says O’Callaghan. “We want them to put in a green crossing in the gaps between trees, for the bats, and we’d like the place to become a conservation area. For the trees and the bats—this is what we are fighting for!”4．What did the yellow dots on the oaks indicate?A．These oaks would be cut down.B．The narrow lane would be widened.C．Rare bats would get protected.D．A railway station would be built. 5．Why does O’Callaghan have deep feelings of the oaks?A．Due to the oaks’ long history.B．Due to the natural beauty.C．Due to the precious memories.D．Due to the diverse wildlife.6．What kind of person is O’Callaghan?A．Creative.B．Humorous.C．Generous.D．Enthusiastic. 7．What is a direct result of O’Callaghan’s efforts?A．The ecology is being improved.B．The felling has been put off.C．The Council canceled the proposal.D．The area becomes a reserve.Vehicles on our roads are now mostly petrol and diesel (柴油) cars, but their days cannot continue for much longer. A recent university study found that current electric cars could be used for 87 percent of daily car journeys in the US. That figure could rise to 98 percent by 2024.One hurdle to the widespread adoption of electric cars has been “range anxiety” — drivers’ concerns about running out of electricity on a journey. While petrol stations are conveniently located across national road systems, the necessary network of electric charging stations is still being developed. That said, charging points are becoming increasingly common throughout the USA．Attitudes towards electric vehicles have changed greatly over the last few years. Not that long ago, electric cars were met with distrust, and their high prices drove customers away. Thanks to improvements in battery capacity, recharging times, performance and price, the current generation of electric cars are starting to persuade picky consumers.As well as development on the road, electric vehicles are taking to the seas and skies. Electric boats are among the oldest methods of electric travel, having enjoyed several decades of popularity from the late 19th to the early 20th century before petrol-powered outboard motors took over. Now, the global drive for renewable energy sources is bringing electric boats back. Steps towards electric air travel are also being made, with Airbus and NASA among the organizations developing and testing battery-powered planes.Electric vehicles do not produce any emissions (排放). If the US could replace 87 percent of its cars with electric vehicles, it would reduce the national demand for petrol by 61 percent. That said, as many countries continue to increase their use of renewable energy sources, electric vehicles will become even cleaner.8．What does the underlined word “hurdle” in Paragraph 2 probably means?A．Aim.B．Problem.C．Result.D．Step.9．Why did many people refuse to buy the electric cars in the past?A．They were dependable.B．They were not widely promoted.C．They were expensive.D．They couldn’t travel at a high speed. 10．What is the function of Paragraph 4?A．To introduce the history of electric travel.B．To explain why the world needs more electric cars.C．To show why more people have interest in electric cars.D．To describe different ways electric vehicles can be used.11．Which is the best title for this passage?A．Driving into a Cleaner Future B．History of Electric CarsC．Problems with Petrol and Diesel Cars D．Best Means of Transportation5G has the potential to disrupt a huge number of industries, including one of the world’s oldest: Farming. Next-generation 5G networks can be 100 times faster than 4G, making communication between devices and servers much quicker. 5G can also carry much more data than other networks. That makes the technology ideal for transmitting information from remote sensors and drones, key tools that are being tested by farmers. 5G is also helping to automate farming processes.UK initiative 5G RuralFirst launched a smartphone app in March called Me+Moo, which lets farmers track a “connected” cow and receive daily updates on the animal’s healthand behavior. The system, which is being tested on cows at the Agri-Epi Center in Somerset, England, is funded in part by UK government and supported by the tech company Cisco (CSCO). The cows wear 5G-connected collars that send data to the app on everything from what they’re eating to how they’re sleeping. Farmers can see the information instantly. “This provides peace of mind that the cows are happy, healthy and behaving normally, as well as early warning if they are getting sick, are pregnant or need to be checked,” said project manager Duncan Forbes.Yet to make a difference, 5G will first need to be installed in rural areas. The UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) predicts that in order to provide for the world’s rapidly rising population, the planet will need to grow 70% more food in 2050 than it did in 2009. “To respond to those demands, farmers will need new technologies to produce more from less land, with fewer hands,” reads one report from the organization.In 2017, another 5G RuralFirst project became the first in the world to successfully plant, tend and harvest a crop without a single human stepping foot in the field. Autonomous Automatic tractors sowed the seeds, drones with sensors monitored the crops, and smaller machines took samples from fields to assess what fertilizers and pesticides to apply. 12．Why can 5G help the farming?A．Because it can carry more information.B．Because it can be equipped with sensors.C．Because it can disrupt a lot of industries.D．Because it can be installed in rural areas.13．What did farmers do firstly if they wanted to use Me+Moo?A．They founded a tech company.B．They let the cows wear 5G-connected collars.C．They kept cows behaving normally.D．They made sure the cows were checked often.14．According to FAO, how will the world solve the food problem?A．People should control the rising population.B．People should find more and more land.C．People should turn to the new technology.D．People should learn to get more money.15．How did RuralFirst decide what kind of fertilizer to apply?A．It analyzed the soil.B．It dug earth with tractors.C．It employed experts.D．It hired drones with sensors.二、七选五A majority of the people do not read the classics. Their reasons begin with the language being too difficult and end with the storyline to distant to the present context. Love foreventually become close friends with private jokes between us. So how does one approach a classic?Don’t be afraid to be confused.We get it: it’s hard to power through confusion. It doesn’t feel great when a book makes you feel confused. Every reader has to start somewhere. 17 Instead, be proud of yourself for trying, and get excited about all the new things you’ll learn.Research, research, research.18 Researching the author-and the time and place they were writing about-can help you situate yourself during tricky passages. The author’s experience, viewpoint, and historical context might help you make the connections you might not have otherwise.Just pick the book up.This step is self-explanatory. While it’s not hard to just pick a book up, we know how difficult it can be to convince yourself to do so. 19 Take a deep breath, then leap onto the deck (甲板) of Melville’s Pequod or step cautiously through the gates of Castle Dracula.Remember: there is no right answer.There is no perfect way to read a classic text. There is no defining interpretation, no singular, exact answer. Your goal as a reader is to discover what aspects and insights are meaningful to you. Enjoy the process. 20 Even if your interpretation of the work isn’t quite perfect, it is still valuable!A．It is a gradual affair.B．Allow the book to grow with you.C．It has some form of historical influence.D．Before you turn to page one, do some digging.E．Never beat yourself up for not knowing something.F．Remind yourself that it’s a new learning opportunity.G．Consider what confuses you, read with intention, and think critically.三、完形填空The excitement was rising in me as I held a brand new laptop in my hands. This was awere exchanging news about “chat rooms”, “instant messaging” and “e-mailing”, all of which28．A．misunderstanding B．sacrifice C．disapprovalD．content29．A．reduce B．continue C．track D．delay 30．A．Therefore B．Otherwise C．Moreover D．However 31．A．challenge B．click C．thrill D．switch 32．A．father B．brother C．mother D．teacher 33．A．sighed B．cried C．trembled D．doubted 34．A．operation B．memory C．fear D．addiction 35．A．warned B．taught C．promised D．persuaded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What would you do if the Internet suddenly disappeared? A recent survey has shown that 36 number of people in the United Kingdom who do not want to use the Internet has risen.

上海市行知中学2023-2024学年高一上学期第二次月考英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、用单词的适当形式完成短文Directions: After reading the passages below, fill in the blanks to make the passages coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.Health Warning as UK SweltersPeople across the UK have enjoyed the sunshine this week, but they have also been advised to be careful as a heat wave hits much of the country.A heat wave is defined 1 a period of hot weather where temperatures are higher than is expected for the time of year. They usually happen in summer.However, climate change (long-term changes to weather patterns, mostly 2 (cause) by human activities such as burning fossil fuels, farming and cutting down forests) is increasing the chance of heat waves happening and making then more extreme. The current hot weather is even 3 (much) extreme in some European countries — temperatures in southern Spain have reached 46℃.Heat waves can be a danger to people’s health, especially for vulnerable groups such as the elderly, children and people 4 certain health conditions. However, anyone 5 suffer from the effects of extreme heat, including dehydration (not having enough water) and heatstroke (a condition caused by the body overheating). A group of leading UK scientists have recommended that heat waves 6 (name) in order to raise awareness of the health risks.The Met Office, the UK’s national weather service, has issued an amber warning. Temperatures are expected 7 (rise) to 35℃, and there have been predictions 8 the record for the UK’s hottest day could be broken. Government officials have met to discuss whether to introduce a heat wave emergency.To cope with hot weather, the NHS (National Health Service) says people should try to keep out of the Sun between 11 am and 3 pm, 9 temperatures are at their highest and the sun is strongest. Make sure you wear a hat, 10 (apply) sunscreen under the sunlight and drink plenty of water. If you are swimming outdoors to cool down, make sureyou’re with a trusted adult and follow local safety advice.二、选用适当的单词或短语补全短文Golden Rules of Good DesignWhat makes good design? Over the years, designers and artists have been trying to 11 the essentials of good design. They have found that some sayings can help people understand the ideas of good design. There are four as follows.Less is more. This saying is associated with the German-born architect Mies van der Rohe. In his Modernist view, beauty lies in simplicity and elegance, and the aim of the designer is to create solutions to problems through the most efficient means. Design should avoid unnecessary 12More is not a bore. The American-born architect Robert Venturi concluded that if simplicity is done badly, the result is 13 design. Post-Modernist designers began to 14 with decoration and color again. Product design was heavily influenced by this view and can be seen in kitchen 15 such as ovens and kettles.Fitness for purpose. Successful product design takes into consideration a product’s function, purpose, shape, form, color, and so on. The most important result for the user is that the product does what is 16 . For example, think of a(n) 17 desk lamp. It needs to be constructed from materials that will stand the heat of the lamp and regular adjustments by the user. It also needs to be stable. Most importantly, it needs to 18 light where it is needed. Form follows emotion. This phrase is associated with the German designer Hartmut Esslinger. He believes design must take into 19 the sensory side of our nature——sight, smell touch and taste. These are as important as rational. When choosing everyday products such as toothpaste, we appreciated a cool-looking device that allows us to easily 20 the toothpaste onto our brush.三、完形填空The beauty, majesty, and timelessness of a primary rainforest are indescribable. It ishad the awe-inspiring experience of standing in the heart of a primary rainforest.Rainforests have 22 over millions of years to turn into the incredibly complex environments they are today. Rainforests represent a store of living and 23 renewable natural resources that for an immeasurably long period of time, by virtue of their richness in both animal and plant species, have 24 a wealth of resources for the survival and well-being of humankind. These resources have included basic food supplies, clothing, shelter, fuel, spices, industrial raw materials, and medicine for all those who have lived in the majesty of the forest. 25 , the inner dynamics (动力学；相互作用的方式) of a tropical rainforest is a complex and fragile system. Everything is so 26 that upsetting one part can lead to unknown damage or even destruction of the whole. Sadly, it has taken only a century of human intervention to destroy what nature designed to 27 forever.The scale of human 28 on ecosystems everywhere has increased enormously in the last few decades. Since 1980 the global economy has tripled in size and the world population has increased by 30 percent. Consumption of everything on the planet has risen — at a cost to our 29 . In 2001, The World Resources Institute estimated that the demand for rice, wheat, and corn is expected to grow by 40% by 2025, increasing irrigation water demands by 50% or more. They further reported that the demand for wood could double by the year 2050; 30 , it is still the tropical forests of the world that supply the most part of the world’s demand for wood.In 1950, about 15 percent of the Earth’s land surface was covered by rainforest. Today, more than half has already gone up in 31 . In fewer than fifty years, about half of the world’s tropical rainforests have fallen 32 to fire or deforestation, and the rate of destruction is still 33 . Unbelievably, more than 200,000 acres of rainforest are burned every day. That is more than 150 acres lost every minute of every day, and 78 million acres lost every year! More than 20 percent of the Amazon rainforest is already gone, and much more is severely 34 as the destruction continues. If nothing is done to control this 35 , the entire Amazon could well be gone within fifty years. Fewer rainforests mean lessrain, less oxygen for us to breathe, and an increased threat from global warming. 21．A．establish B．claim C．capture D．prove 22．A．extended B．evolved C．expanded D．resolved 23．A．energizing B．healing C．isolating D．breathing 24．A．destroyed B．contributed C．reduced D．affected 25．A．However B．Furthermore C．Therefore D．Otherwise 26．A．active B．positive C．interdependent D．dominant 27．A．restore B．support C．relieve D．last 28．A．pressure B．resources C．concern D．strengths 29．A．existence B．ecosystem C．species D．survival 30．A．unfortunately B．consequently C．naturally D．similarly 31．A．store B．food C．smoke D．wealth 32．A．subject B．down C．apart D．victim 33．A．running out B．going up C．holding back D．falling down 34．A．released B．revealed C．threatened D．boosted 35．A．trend B．practice C．intention D．attitude四、阅读理解Seasickness and sunburn. Taking care of old people in different situations. My medical friends did their best to persuade me. Everyone said that running away to sea would ruin my career. But after five sleep-deprived (睡眠不足的) years working as a junior doctor, I was willing to take the risk.Hungry for adventure, I boarded a bright white ship in Singapore. With 2,000 passengers and crew, she was the size of a small town.To my relief, the hospital was well equipped, with an X-ray machine and a blood analyzer.That first cruise (航行) was a learning experience, a tight schedule full of safety drills (演习). There was so much new information to take in. Even remembering which of the uniforms to wear each day was a challenge. Most confusing, I often forgot to change my clock when the ship crossed time zones.As a doctor, I was responsible for the 600 crew including waiters, engineers, cooks andnavigators (领航员), and I was on call (随时待命的) for the entire ship.Far from treating seasickness and sunburn, as I’d been warned, my patients were wide and varied. The ship’s medical center was essentially a floating emergency room, but we didn’t have a team of specialists on hand for a second opinion. With long and unpredictable hours, it required mental toughness.As you can guess, many of the passengers were elderly. Heart attacks don’t care about geography and emergency evacuations (疏散) were difficult to arrange.I recall one such patient, who was taken off the ship on a stretcher (担架) halfway through the Panama Canal. After a terrifying ride in the back of an old ambulance, I was relieved that the patient survived long enough to arrive at the hospital in Panama City.Thankfully, there were several unexpected benefits to the job. I regularly enjoyed the passenger facilities, including the gym, spa and deck buffet (甲板自助餐). I even hosted my own table of passengers in the evenings. On rare days off, I volunteered as a tour guide on trips ashore (在陆地). I got to fly over Alaska in a seaplane and watched a ballet in St Petersburg.I now understand that being a cruise ship doctor is not a job — it’s a way of life.One year at sea became two. I lost my career ambitions, but I redefined happiness in my life.36．What can we know about the author’s first cruise?A．She missed her job as a doctor.B．She enjoyed a relaxing lifestyle.C．She had to learn a lot of things.D．She often felt confused about her job duties.37．Why does the author mention the patient who was sent to the hospital in Panama City?A．To tell that it was difficult to look after old patients.B．To prove that being a cruise ship doctor is more tiring.C．To stress the importance of a well-equipped hospital on the ship.D．To show it was challenging to handle emergency situations on the ship.38．What is Paragraph 9 mainly about?A．The author’s experience as a tour guide.B．The advantages of being a cruise ship doctor.C．The loneliness of being the ship’s only doctor.D．Various facilities for passengers on the cruise ship.39．What does the author think of her experience as a cruise ship doctor?A．It was too stressful to tolerate.B．It helped her build a better career.C．It changed her understanding of happiness.D．It provided opportunities to make more friends.Are You a Moring Person?Mornings are not for everyone. Knowing that our own bodies may be wired to prefer a certain time of day is certainly a relief. But many of us still have to wake up and function during those first daylight hours. So what can you do?We tapped a variety of experts - from sleep experts to nutritionists to life organizational pros (生活管理达人) — to share their tricks on how to make morning less stressful and more pleasant for even the most after-hours of night owls.1. Night wakingPoor sleep quality can explain why we sometimes wake up from eight hours of snoozing and feel like we only clocked in at four. “It’s normal to have one or two awakenings, but more than that leaves us feeling groggy (昏昏沉沉) in the morning because of the fragmented sleep,” explains Shelby Harris, director of the behavioral sleep medicine program at Montefiore Medical Center.2. The Science of snoozingThe snooze button does more harm than good. Nodding off again sends you into a light and fragmented sleep! Multiple snoozes can leave you feeling groggier than just getting out of bed the first time. Instead, be honest about the time you intend to get up and then enjoy every last minute of sleep, so you can wake up alert and ready to go.3. Don’t ease into your workdayIt can be tempting to plow through the easy things early on—checking e-mail, scanning the headlines—but it’s wise to tackle the bigger stuff first. “Getting to work on the most important tasks not only ups the chances that they actually get done, but it also leaves you with a burst of accomplishment to take with you the rest of the day,” says Jason Selk, coauthor of Organize Tomorrow Today.4. Save social media for laterSchedule a social media block later in the afternoon to check in when you’re likely toneed a break anyway, and save the morning for the important stuff.40．What’s the purpose of the passage?A．To help us to get the most out of our mornings.B．To relieve us from the guilt of multiple snoozes in the morning.C．To warn us of the harm of not getting out of bed immediately.D．To inform us about the fact that our bodies are wired to prefer a certain time of day. 41．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A．One or two awakenings ensure us a good night’s sleep.B．To be an early bird, better forget about the snooze button.C．It’s important not to block social medium if you want to save your morning.D．Beginning a day with easy things aroused our interest and a sense of accomplishment. 42．Where can we find the passage?A．Classified Advertisement B．Travel BrochureC．Life and Study D．Scientific JournalWe all have a tendency to fake laugh, particularly when authority figures in our lives try to make a joke that just doesn’t land. Though it might feel rude not to laugh when your in-laws or boss try to say something funny, pretending to do so might not be much better. It turns out, even if you think that your forced laughing sounds genuine, people are usually pretty good at separating truly spirited belly laughs from fake ones. But how can they possible know the difference?Well, when researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles studied the acoustic and perceptual differences between real and fake laughter, they found that some of the sounds associated with genuine laughter is “really hard to fake.” In their study, the researchers determined that subjects were only fooled by 37 percent of fake laughter.The most prominent factor distinguishing real laughter from fake laughter is duration --or, more specifically, the number of breaths taken in in between sounds. Seeing as it takes more effort and concentration to fake a laugh as opposed to do it genuinely, people tend to pause more in between their “ha-ha’s” when they’re faking it. Evidently, that pausing is pretty noticeable.“A fake laugh is basically an imitation of a real laugh, but produced with a slightly different set of vocal muscles controlled by a different part of our brain,” Greg Bryant, thelead UCLA researcher on the study, explained. “The result is that there are subtle features of the laugh that sound like speech, and ... people are unconsciously quite sensitive to them.”People have also proven to be emotionally sensitive to laughter as well. “Our rains are very sensitive to the social and emotional significance of laughter,” said Carolyn McGettigan, a scientist at Royal Holloway, University of London.McGettigan conducted a 2014 study that recorded participants’ brain responses as they listened to the same people produce genuine laughter by watching funny videos, as opposed to fake laughter. “During our study, when participants heard a laugh that was posed, they activated regions of the brain associated with mentalizing in an attempt to understand the other person’s emotional and mental state,” she said.So, while we may understand that certain social situations sometimes require fake laughter, most of the time, our instincts and emotional intelligence are just too smart to buy into them.According to McGettigan, that’s a good thing. “Evolutionarily speaking, it’s good to be able to detect if someone is authentically experiencing an emotion or if they’re not,” she said. “Because you don’t want to be fooled.”43．What do researchers at the University of California want to find out in this study?A．What is the difference between a fake laugh and a real one.B．Which part of the brain controls the sound of our laughter.C．Why do people need to fake laugh when they don’t want to.D．How to laugh as genuinely as possible when you are faking it.44．Your forced laughing is more noticeable than you think, mainly because_______.A．you seem more concentrated when you laugh for realB．you take more breaths when you try to fake a laughC．a fake laugh often happens after a sudden pauseD．a real laugh usually lasts longer than a fake one45．Which of the following is true according to Greg Bryant?A．Real laughter is not at all controllable by our brain.B．People may notice fake laughter without knowing why.C．People use the same set of muscles to laugh and to speak.D．Faking laugh shares the same techniques as making speech.46．What has Carolyn McGettigan’s 2014 study proven?A．Certain social situations may require us to fake a laugh.B．Evolution has enabled us to recognize other’s emotions.C．By instincts, we are able to tell a person’s mental state.D．We can sense other’s emotional state when they laugh.五、六选四Early Childhood EducationEarly childhood education is the formal teaching and care of young children. It primarily focuses on learning through playing to encourage children’s different kinds of development.47Studies with Head Start programs throughout the United States have shown some evidence that there are quite a few advantages to early childhood education, which can produce significant gains in children’s learning and development. Compared with a child who does not attend pre-school, children completing their early education programs are found to be better at math and reading skills. They are excited to learn and have the tools to do so.48 These children are more competent in their pre-school, kindergarten and school-age years, and they are usually reported as “friendlier” by parents and the children’s peers.49 In studies with matched control groups, more students who had early schooling experiences were employed at the age of 19, fewer were on welfare, and fewer were involved with the criminal activity. What’s more, some studies show that children attending pre-school are more likely to graduate and have higher education, and be well integrated as an adult.Early childhood education gives most children a jump-start on education for their kindergarten and primary school years. It is clear that early childhood education do a lot of good to children. 50 If early childhood education is less effective, perhaps the best model is finding strategies for allowing a parent to stay home with his or her child for at least the first two to three years. Also important is considering a child’s own personality. Individual differences in children mean that not all children will get equal benefits from early childhood education.A．The long-term influence of early education is significant as well.B．They can benefit greatly from encouragement in their early childhood.C．Yet its quality must be assessed to see what kind of benefits it actually provides.D．They are also able to relate to others in a superior way and that improves their social skills.E．Many experts of education, however, are concerned about what early childhood education means today.F．It consists of activities that serve children in the pre-school years and is designed to improve later school performance.六、概要写作51．Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.What Is Zero Waste?The goal of the “zero waste” movement is to get rid of all waste from products. “Zero waste” means using every part of a product. Today, the zero waste idea can be found everywhere from food to fashion.Creating a zero waste restaurant is a challenge. It is very difficult to use every part of produce and leave nothing behind. Creating a soup from unused ingredients is a popular way to use up extra food items. Other ways are more advanced. Some restaurants use coffee grounds（咖啡渣）to flavor dishes. Some cooks also crush shrimp shells and reuse them in sauces. While it’s challenging, zero waste restaurants appear to be on the rise.In the fashion industry, zero waste isn’t a new idea. But in today’s world of fast fashion, zero waste is growing more popular. Usually, cutting cloth creates lots of waste. In zero waste fashion, designers try to avoid this. One way to do so is by adding these extra pieces of cloth to the final design. Another way is to design clothing without wasteful cuts.Beyond restaurants and fashion, there are many other possibilities for zero waste products. All restaurants need utensils（器皿）. Bakey’s is a company that is developing edible （可食用的）utensils. After using them, you can eat them! Their spoons are made of flour and come in all kinds of flavors. While these spoons are not hard enough to cut meat, they are perfect for rice dishes. Meanwhile, Air New Zealand is experimenting with edible coffee cups that are made by the company Twice. They have already introduced a line of flavored cups. After you finish your coffee, you eat the cup, just like a cookie!Whether products are made to be edible or reusable, hopefully the movement will helpreduce waste all over the world._______________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ ________________________七、汉译英（整句）52．性格温和的人也会在特定场合下发牌气。

It wasn’t a major role and he had only four or five lines. However, he worked hard at perfecting the lines, repeating them in front of a mirror over and over again, as his drama teacher had suggested. He had great fun rehearsing (排练) with the older students. Then finally the big night came.Suddenly, things felt different. The theater was full of audience. He looked around at those experienced actors and saw the confidence they’d shown at rehearsal seemed t o have disappeared. Everyone was on edge. When Tom got on stage, he couldn’t help hurrying into the words he had repeated so many times before. He tried to slow down but, thinking about doing that, he suddenly realized he had missed a sentence. With no time to think it over, he carried on. When he stepped off the stage, his hands felt sweaty and his heart was racing. He didn’t think about what he had achieved. Instead, he was beating himself up for the mistake that he had made.The audience, of course, did n’t know he had missed a sentence. In fact, no one noticed it except his drama teacher. “Well done, ” she said. “Acting is like learning to ride a bike. You may fall off a few times, yet each time you get back on, you do it better. Your performance may not have been perfect but, for your first time, it was great. ”The drama teacher’s words put Tom’s mind at ease. He caught the look of his face in a mirror, which was smiling back at him. Without knowing it, he raised two hands with his thumbs (拇指)up.4. What do we know about Tom before the big night?A．He was sad about his limited lines. B．He expected a major role in the play.C．He worked hard to prepare for the play. D．He was confident of the play’s success.5. How did Tom feel when he finished the performance?A．Regretful. B．Relieved. C．Hopeful. D．Confused.6. Why did Tom raise his hands with thumbs up in the end?A．He got his teacher’s forgiveness.B．He made peace with his imperfection.C．He decided to correct his mistakes. D．He admired his own face in the mirror.7. What message does the author seem to convey in the text?A．Well begun, half done. B．Hope for the best, prepare for the worst.C．Practice makes perfect. D．Let your fault make you better, not bitter. What is the most shocking about the heatwave affecting the Pacific Northwest is not that it has hit a usually mild area, nor that so many long-standing temperature records are being broken. It is thatthose records are being broken by such large margins (幅度). In Portland, Oregon, temperature reached 46.6℃(116°F) — making it one of several cities in the region where former records have been beaten by a full 5℃(9°F). At the same time, heatwaves are also hitting central Europe and even Siberia.Heatwaves may become headlines, but less attention is paid to them. In 2018 about 300,000 people over the age of 65 died as a result of extreme heat, mainly in India, a 54% increase since 2000, according to a report in the Lancet, a medical journal. The report also shows that, unlike storms and floods, heat does not lead to dramatic before-and-after pictures or widespread damage to belongings. It is a silent killer. As many as 70,000 people died due to a heatwave in Europe in 2003.Heat also kills by worsening health conditions such as heart problems, so not all the deaths it causes may be directly attributed (归因) to it. Climate change will make heatwaves more common and more extreme. Even if greenhouse-gas emissions (排放) are cut to zero by the middle of this century, temperatures will go on rising for decades. So other measures are needed to protect people against extreme heat.Governments can set up early warning systems to alarm health workers, shut down schools and stop outdoor activities. They can provide the public with forecasts of coming heatwaves, explanations of the dangers and detailed advice on what to do. Improved facilities can also help. This includes providing shaded areas, water parks and “misting stations” to help people cool down, and get to airconditioned “cooling centers” where they can fi nd shelter and sleep if necessary.The world is, undoubtedly, facing a big health challenge right now. There is no excuse for ignoring heatwaves and their effects.8. What shocks us most about the heatwave in the Pacific Northwest?A．It has stricken a usually mild area.B．It hits central Europe except Siberia.C．Many temperature records are being broken.D．Many records are being broken by large margins.9. What can we learn from the report in the Lancer?A．People have paid much attention to heatwaves.B．Heat doesn’t cause widespread damage to belongings.C．The damage of heat is as obvious as storms and floods.D．About 300,000 middle-aged people died from extreme heat.10. What can governments do to protect people against heatwaves?A．Provide some cool places. B．Build nursing homes.C．Organize outdoor activities. D．Shelter the homeless.11. What can be a suitable title for the text?A．Improving Public Facilities B．Taking Heatwaves SeriouslyC．Preventing Natural Disasters D．Reducing Greenhouse-gas EmissionNew genetically modified (转基因) apples designed by a biology company are being released this fall but won’t be labeled as GMOs (转基因生物). They’re called Arctic apples, whose genes have been changed from their original Golden Delicious state to make sure that after the fruits are cut open and exposed to the air, their flesh won’t turn brown in color.The development company, Okanagan Specialty Fruits, says the apples may be on sale as bagged slices in up to 400 stores this season throughout the Midwest and Southern California. The fruit won’t bear the standard “produced with genetic engineering” label because of a 2016 law allowing codes to be visible on the packaging that link to a website with information on how the fruit was made.The apples were made using a technique called gene silencing. The Okanagan team engineered the fruit’s DNA to produce less enzyme (酶) that causes the white, inner flesh to brown so that the new and improved slices will stay fresh for up to three weeks. Although there are only about 250 acres of Arctic apple trees currently planted across the US, the team hopes GMO fruits can reduce waste and increase apple sales overall.While some experts believe that the Arctic apple’s GMO status isn’t harmful, groups op posing GMOs have started protesting the apples. An organization called Friends of the Earth claims that they’re “understudied, unlabeled and unnecessary.” Right now, apple slices treated with calcium and vitamin C can be purchased off Amazon with the promise of not browning before they arrive on the customer’s doorstep. And, a little bit of lemon juice is an easier and more natural way to prevent cut apples from turning color for a few hours.12. The Arctic apples will not be labeled “GMO” because ________.A．actually these apples are not genetically modified foodB．the fruit will be sold as bagged slices in up to 400 storesC．there is not enough space for the label on the packagingD．information of their apples can be checked on the Internet13. How do Arctic apples stay fresh according to the Okanagan team?A．By changing the fruit’s DNA to reduce relevant enzyme.B．By decreasing the percentage of engineers in the team.C．By treating apple slices with calcium and vitamin C.D．By adding a little bit of lemon juice to the slices.14. What is the Friends of the Earth’s attitude to Arctic apples?A．Disapproving. B．Indifferent. C．Favorable. D．Cautious.15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A．A Novel Way to Keep Arctic Apples From Turning color.B．Protest against Apples Entering US Markets due to the label.C．GM Apples That Don’t Brown to Reach US Shelves This Fall.D．Apples That Can Stay Free of Browning as Long as Three Months.Four ways to cope with burnoutBurnout is a feeling of physical and mental tiredness. It can come from working overtime or under stressful conditions. 16 . All you have to do is identify feelings of burnout and know how to deal with them. Try these out next time you’re feeling overwhelmed (不知所措的).●Focu s on advancing tiny goals.17 Experts suggest starting small and dividing the whole schedule into the smallest sections. Setting and achieving tiny goals can increase people’s engagement in the work and their happiness during the workday.●Take time for y ourself.Ask for a rest day if you need one to do nothing other than eat your favorite ice cream, go for a run, or meet a friend for lunch. 18 Be sure to get enough sleep each night, too; this has a huge effect on one’ s mental well-being and performance.● 19It’s hard to feel frustrated after a sweaty weightlifting or a long run, Exercise reduces students’ sensitivity to anxiety, so think of that exercise time as building your protection against the burnout. Extra points if you do it outside in the sunshine.●Talk to people.People’s health, well-being, everything in life, is way better if you’re connected with other people. Social network is a precious resource but reaching out to people in reality is much more beneficial.20Many years ago, I worked in a marathon.

A“Miss, I want to learn Korean, but I’m not good at English. How can I succeed in Korean?” Jane told me when I taught her basic Korean phrases. What she said made me flash back to the first time I learned Korean. I would not have had a chance to tell that she can do it if I had given up on that day.I began to learn Korean because I discovered Korean language and grammar fascinating and I could express myself in ways I never could do in English. In the following years, I challenged myself and pushed myself harder to do things that I hadn’t thought I could do.Jane’s words made me learn I could share my knowledge by being a Korean language teacher. When realizing my Korean was limited, I decided to try my best to get a master’s degree in Korean Language Education. I also tried to spare time to learn Korean on the Internet. Reading Korean textbooks, listening to music and watching dramas didn’t help me much, so I took the short-term Korean program at Ewha Language Center. I came to my Korean friend’s house to have dinner. Her family was surprised when I told them that I knew how to make Gimbap and when I said goodbye in Korean when I left. They appreciated that I quickly got used to the language and culture, which made me more confident about speaking Korean.I made practical use of my knowledge by working as a volunteer teacher in a local school. I worked hard to explore different teaching ways, making my students enjoy my class. I made sure that I had all of the materials that I needed before class started. Moreover, I tried to help develop and improve students’ learning abilit ies. Now I strongly believe that my research experience, responsibility, leadership, and enthusiasm will help me become an excellent Korean language teacher.21.What did the author do when hearing her student’s question?A. Realize the great power of Korean.B. Feel it necessary to work much harder.C. Praise her student’s willingness to learn.D. Remember her past personal experience.22. Wh y did the author want to get a master’s degree?A. To achieve her dream.B. To try to improve herself.C. To gain more confidence.D. To better help her student Jane.23. How was the author like as a volunteer teacher?A. Being very strict.B. Being very patient.C. Being well prepared.D. Being quite inexperienced.BDestinee Whitaker was in fourth grade when she learned that millions of people around the world lack clean water.“It was a problem that confused me for a long time,” said Whitaker, from the United States city of Philadelphia. “Water is a necessity.”When she got to Carver High School of Engineering and Science, Whitaker carefully re-searched the problem and felt that she must do something about it.Early in her senior year, Whitaker approached fellow members of the schoo l’s National Honor Society with a proposal: They should raise money to buy water purification(净化)systems for people in need. Whitaker, the National Honor Society president, knew the systems would have to be easy to carry and able to operate without electricity. So she checked with a microbiologist（微生物学家）to make sure the system she had her eye on would fit the bill.Once her classmates agreed to back the proposal, Whitaker took it upon herself to raise money. She organized a game where students bought tickets to guess how many pieces of candy a jar contained.In the end, they raised $800—a large amount for a school where 70 percent of the students’families are not well-off.Whitaker soon found that raising money was the easier part of the project. Finding an organization that could deliver the water purification systems was a bigger puzzle. She approached some organizations about their possible connections but no one could help.Then Whitaker connected with Joseph Sackor, who runs the Liberia Medical Mission—an organization that provides medical care to Liberians who lack health services. Sackor accepted the school’s money and agreed to deliver the systems to people who needed them.Whitaker dreams of someday launching(发起)her own nonprofit organization to bring clean water to more people in need.“Some students in Liberia can’t even go to school because their parents cannot afford to buy them bottled water,” Sackor said. “This money is huge.”24.What problem did Whitaker want to solve?A.Global poverty.ck of clean drinking water.ck of education.D.Low public awareness of healthy lifestyles.25.The underlined phrase “fit the bill” in Para graph 4 probably means “_______”.A. meet their needsB. be cheap enoughC. be difficult to operateD. need improvement26. What does Whitaker want to do in the future?A.Live and work in Liberia.B.Study medicine to help those in need.C.Set up a charity organization to help more people.D.Provide bottled water to Liberian students.CTim Berners-Lee. If you don’t know his name, you’v e surely used his famous invention—the World Wide Web, a system we use to search for information on the Internet.On Oct 29, the I nternet officially turned 50 years old. “This birthday must mark the moment we take on the fight for the web we want.”Speaking at the University of California, he pointed out three problems affecting toda y’s web-criminal（犯罪的）behavior, ad-based clickbait websites(钓鱼网站), and offensive online communication. These problems led Berners-Lee to create the Web Foundation and a contract （契约）for the web. Both aim to protect Internet users.In the contract, he mentioned the need for companies to make sure that everyone has web access, called for a reduction in offensive material, and more personal data privacy. The latter is a hot topic right now. Big companies, like Facebook, have misused users’ personal information by sharing it with advertisers.Despite all of these bad sides, we shouldn’t forget about all the benefits the Internet brings.In this digital age, the Internet connects the world through social media, cashless payments and has become an instant source of information. It can also make a positive difference through activities that push for positive change, education or aid.One such campaign is Movember. The movement, held every November, encourages men to grow a moustache for the whole month, post pictures online, and donate. The charity promotes physical health, mental health, and suicide(自杀)prevention for men.Not to mention, the Internet is also a source of fun. From funny kitten videos on Weibo to your very own Douyin videos, the Internet allows you to share what you create.Speaking to the Web Foundation, Berners-Lee said, “The web has be come a public square, a library, a doctor’s office, a shop, a school, and it has given marginalized groups a voice.”“In the next 30 years, if we give up on trying to build a be tter web ... we will have failed it. We need to come together as a global community.”27.Why were the Web Foundation and the contract for the web created?A.To celebrate the Internet’s 50th birthday.B.To build a protected network environment.C.To increase Internet speeds around the world.D.To fight online crime.28.What is the purpose of Movember?A.To encourage men to do charity work.B.To promote a healthy lifestyle.C.To support men’s health issues.D.To draw public attention to mental health issues.29.What do “marginalized groups” in the second-to-last paragraph probably refer to?A.Wealthy people.B.Old people.C.People in power.D.Disadvantaged people.30.What is the main idea of the article?A.The future of the World Wide Web.B.The history of the World Wide Web.C.Tim Berners-Lee’s plan to save the World Wide Web.D.The problems with the World Wide Web.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。
