She passed away five years ago at the age of 65, but the impact she has left on the world of architecture is profound.Hadid was born into an upper-class Iraqi family in 1950. At the very beginning, she wanted to become a mathematician and studied science at the American University of Beirut, But at some point she realized that she preferred shapes to numbers. And she turned her concentration to architecture and went to London where she met the famous Dutch architect Rem Koolhaas.“There are 360 degrees, so why stick to one?” Hadid once said. Despite her abundance of amazing ideas, before the beginning of the 90s, not a single building based on her blueprints had been built. Her highly expressive style, while initially criticized and believed to be crazy, is now regarded as pioneering work. Her striking contemporary architecture, inspired by natural landforms, has graced the skylines of major metropolitan cities.“Women are always being told, ‘you’re not going to make it; It’s too difficult. You can’t do that Don’t enter this competition; You’ll never win it’,” Hadid said. “They need confidence in themselves and people around them for support.”Never one to be boxed in by conventions, Hadid proved society wrong. She received her first prize, the “Gold Medal Architectural Design” for her British Architecture in 1982. From then on, the awards kept rolling in. But the true triumph for Hadid came in 2004. Her project for the London Olympics Aquatic Center won her the Pritzker Architecture Prize. She became the first woman and first Muslim to earn the award, making a name for herself and paving the way for female architects. Hadid’s genius lives on in the array of many other spectacular build ings she has left behind in the world. Among them are the Guangzhou Opera House, the Beijing Daxing International Airport, as well as the Al Wakrah Stadium in Qatar where the 2022 FIFA World Cup will be held.Hadid may be gone, but her global influence on a new generation of female architects is here to stay.4. What made Hadid quit science to learn architecture?A．Her talent in architecture.B．Her interest in architecture.C．Her difficulty in learning science.D．Her encounter with Rem Koolhaas.5. What can we learn about Hadid’s works?A．Her architecture was inspired by mathematicsB．Her British Architecture won her the Pritzker Architecture Prize.C．Her architecture style was too bold to be accepted at the very beginning.D．Her works can only be found in European countries and the Middle East.6. What does paragraph 4 mainly about?A．The talk between Hadid and her colleague.B．The reason why women fail to be architects.C．The prejudice from society against women.D．The difficulty Hadid faced being an architect.7. What is the most profound impact Hadid has left on the world?A．She formed a unique style.B．She broke away from the convention.C．She received various architecture awardsD．She encouraged other women architects.The tea that has delighted and fascinated the world for thousands of years has finally received top-level global recognition as a shared cultural treasure of mankind. China’s traditional tea-making was added on Tuesday to the intangible cultural heritage list of UNESCO.The traditional tea processing techniques and associated social practices in China consist of knowledge, skills and practices concerning the management of tea plantations, picking of tea leaves, manual(手工的)processing, drinking and sharing of tea. Since ancient times, Chinese people have been planting, picking, making and drinking tea. Tea producers have developed six categories of tea: green, yellow, dark, white, oolong and black teas. Together with reprocessed teas, such as flower-scented teas, there are over 2, 000 tea products in China.Tea-related customs are not only found across the country, but also influence the rest of the world through the ancient Silk Road and trade routes. Tea is ubiquitous in Chinese people’s daily life, as steeped(浸泡)or boiled tea is served in families, workplaces, tea houses, restaurants and temples, etc. It is also an important part of socialization and ceremonies such as weddings and sacrifices. The practice of greeting guests and building relationships within families and among neighbors through tea- related activities is common to multiple ethnic groups, providing a sense of shared identity and continuity for the communities.In China, 44 registered national-level intangible cultural heritage entries are related to tea. There are over 40 vocational colleges and 80 universities that have set up majors in tea science or tea culture, resulting in over 3,000 graduates specializing in tea production and art every year, according to the ministry.China now has 43 items on the intangible cultural heritage list, continuing to be the most enlisted country in the world.8. What can be learnt from the passage?A．Chinese producers developed 44 categories of tea.B．Tea is quite popular with people all over the country.C．More than 2,000 tea products could be found in China.D．There’ re about 300 graduates specializing in tea production every year.9.

B．By making definitions.C．By giving examples. D．By making comparisons.11. In which kind of book may this text appear?A．A textbook. B．A travel journal.C．A story book. D．A cultural magazine.Award-winning Chinese shoe designer, Huang Qinqin, shares her transformative journey, combining cultural heritage and international design to shape the art of practical wear.Believing that the value of her products doesn’t lie in business operation, Huang always focuses on how to convey the stories behind her shoes to customers instead.“It is like storytelling, a natural ability I possess,” she said with a smile.However, Huang’s journey into design was unforeseen and it took her s everal years to discover her true passion. Huang switched her major from physics to international communications studies at university.While she found great enjoyment in these courses, she still didn’t know what she could do in the future.“One day, I grab bed a sheet of paper and began drawing some shoe designs I saw online.It was at that moment that the light suddenly dawned.” recalled Huang.To her astonishment, Huang discovered while international luxury shoe brands like Jimmy Choo and Christian Louboutin are household names, Chinese brands are rarely seen.This finding fueled Huang’s determination to pursue her career as a shoe designer, hoping to fill the blank in the international market.After returning to China from the UK, Huang established her own s hoe brand.“I think Chinese students studying abroad today all share a strong sense of mission—to showcase what China truly has to offer to the world,” Huang said.Looking back, Huang said that she took a long time to finally find her lifelong passion.“Ther e is a saying that one must achieve fame at a young age, but I believe it is never too late to unlock one’s potential, since everyone operates on their unique ‘time zone’,” she said.Before her current career path, Huang never stopped trying new things, including garden design and dance.These diverse experiences have all become precious treasures in her life, nurturing her self-directed learning abilities, which have turned out to be essential skills for her startup business today.12. What does Huang value most about her products?A．Design concept. B．Market share.C．Quality standard. D．Business operation.13. What further motivated Huang Qinqin to be a shoe designer?A．Passion for fashion and design.B．Lack of Chinese brands in the field.C．Desire to challenge conventional norms.D．Love for international luxury shoe brands.14. What can best describe Huang?A．Creative and flexible.B．Ambitious and easy-going.C．Talented and accessible.D．Responsible and humorous.15. What might Huang agree with?A．Well begun is half done.B．Think twice before you leap.C．Every step counts in your life.D．It matters much when you succeed.You know the feeling — your ears start to warm up, your tongue goes numb (麻木的), and you start sweating and taking deep brea ths. You’ve just eaten something spicy, knowing it would be painful, but you chose to do it anyway. Are humans just masochistic (自讨苦吃的), or is there something else going on? 16Spicy isn’t actually a taste like salty, sweet, sour and bitten —it’s a sens ation. 17 . When we eat foods containing capsaicin (辣椒素), our bodies are tricked into thinking the temperature is actually rising. In trying to relieve the burning sensation, our bodies release endorphins (内啡肽) which control pain and, at the same time, give a feeling of pleasure — like painkillers.This is what is happening chemically, but there is also a conscious side to choosing spicy food. Dr Tamara Rosenbaum, a Cognitive Neuroscientist, explains in an interview with the BBC that this is 18 . Furthermore, we obtain pleasure from the other ingredients chilli is generally cooked and eaten with—including fat, sugar and salt. So — like skydiving — eating chilli is a form of thrill-seeking, 19Humans, one of the few mammals on Earth that developed a taste for capsaicin, started cultivating chilli peppers about six thousand years ago. Human intervention changed the chilli pepper to suit human tastes and needs —including the pepper’s colour, size and capsaicin content-helping toexplain the many different types of chilli peppers now available. 20 . We eat around 57.3 million tons of peppers globally each year, and chilli is a key ingredient in traditional dishes from Mexico to Korea.When the bell rang on the last day of school, Susanna cheered along with her classmates.

Reading Comprehension (15%)Directions: Read the following passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)There are many famous museums throughout the world where people can enjoy art. Washington, D.C. has the National Gallery of Art; Paris has the Luvre; London, the British Museum. Florida International University (FIU) in Miami alsoshows art for people to see. And it does so without a building, or even a wall for its drawings and paintings.FIU has opened what it says is the first computer art museum in the United States. You don’t have to visit the University to see the art. You just need a computer linked to a telephone. You can call the telephone number of a university computer and connect your own computer to it. All of the art is stored in the school computer. It is computer art, produced electronically by artists on their own computers. In only a few minutes, your computer can receive and copy all the pictures and drawings.Robert Shostak is director of the new computer museum. He says he started the museum because computer artists had no place to show their works.A computer artist can only record his pictures electronically and send the records, or floppy discs, to others to see on their computers. He can also put his pictures on paper. But to print good pictures on paper, the computer artist needs an expensive laser printer.Robert Shostak says the electronic museum is mostly for art or computer students at schools and universities. Many of the pictures in the museum are made by students. Mr. Shostak said the FIU museum will make computer art more fun for computer artists because more people can see it. He says artists enjoy their work much more if they have an audience. And the great number of home computers in America could mean a huge audience for the electronic museum.51. The main purpose of this passage is to give information about __________.A. museums throughout the worldB. an electronic art museum in Miami, U.S.AC. art exhibitions in Florida International UniversityD. latest development of computer art52. To see the art in FIU museum, people need __________.A. floppy discsB. a computer and a printerC. pictures and drawings on paperD. a computer connected to the museum by telephone line53.

The jobs being offered probably require __________________.A. precious training in higher mathematicsB. a knowledge of office practicesC. experiences in electronicsD. no special skillsThe majority of astronauts from America have been men. At the start of the space programme there was strong resistance from some people against having women in space. However, some women were very keen to become astronauts and in the end they were successful. In 1978, NASA began the first training programme for women astronauts.Judy Resnick and Christa McAuliffe were both astronauts and they were both women, but in many other ways they were very different. Both of them were on Flight STS-5L-L. Judy Resnick was born in 1949 and studied engineering at university and went on to obtain a PhD in 1977. She was a member of the first group of women selected for astronaut training in 1978, and in 1984, she became the second woman in space. During that flight, she helped to launch three new satellites and she carried out a programme of research. She was, in many ways, a professional astronaut whose whole life was devoted to space travel.Christa McAuliffe was born in 1948 and she was an astronaut almost by accident. In 1984, NASA decided to find a teacher who could accompany astronauts into space. They hoped that she would be able to communicate with students from space and encourage every one of them to be interested in space travel. Christa was a secondary teacher in history and social studies. She was a gifted teacher and she was selected from over 11,000 applicants to go on flight STS-51-L. She was also a very good communicator and she immediately established a very good relationship with the news media(radio, television and newspapers). It was partly because of this that there was a great deal of interest and excitement about the flight. Thousands of students in schools and universities all around the country were looking forward to communicating with Christa in space. Millions of people were watching her flight with great interest. It is partly because of the excitement over McAuliffe's place in the flight that the disaster in 1986 had such an effect on people.58.We can learn from the first two paragraphs that ___________.A. Judy was against the idea of having women in space at firstB. Judy was the first woman selected for astronaut trainingC. Judy helped to launch three new satellites at the age of 35D. Judy carried out a programme during her second space travel59.Christa McAuliffe was chosen for training because _______.A. she was popular with the news mediaB. she expected to give history lessons in spaceC. she was an excellent teacher and communicatorD. she made the students in space very excited50.The reason why there was great interest in Flight STS-51-L is that ________.A. both Christa and Judy got PhD degrees in the same yearB. a young secondary school teacher was on the flightC. students were going to learn more about space travelD. it was the first time for women to travel in space61.What would be the best title for the passage?A. Two AstronautsB. Flight STS-51-LC. Travelling in SpaceD. The Training Programme(D)City traffic is a great problem. More cars are produced every year and the streets are getting more and more crowded. So during “rush hour”, when people are going to or from their work, traffic is brought to a standstill. It has been suggested that commuters should share their cars and give each other lifts. So each car would carry four or five people instead of only one. It is an excellent idea, however, so far nobody has been able to think of a way to compel people to do so.To discourage motorists from leaving their cars in the streets all day, parking meters（计量仪器）are used. When you park at a meter, you must put a coin in the slot. This pays for a certain amount of time. The meter records this and it shows when the time that you have paid for is finished. If the car is still there then, you have to pay a fine.Traffic wardens look after the meters. They walk around the streets and check that every meter shows that money has been paid for the car parked there. If a meter registers “Time expired”（时间已到）, the motorist who has left his car there is fined. Of course, the traffic warden cannot wait for the owner of the car to return. He carries a block of printed forms, and on one of these he writes down all the details, such as the registration number of the car, where it is parked, how much the driver must pay and where he must send the money. He leaves this form on the car where the driver will be able to see it easily; he usually pushes it under one of the windscreen wipers so that it will not blow away. And in case it rains before the motorist returns, the form is put in a little plastic envelope to protect it. When the driver comes back, he gets an unpleasant surprise, but it is his own fault for leaving his car too long at a parking meter.62. The underlined word “standstill” means _____.A. rushB. stopC. adventureD. struggle63. Which detail is not written on the printed form?A. Registration number of the car.B.

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
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.

Its goal is to be ready for your every movement, breath, and thought. The quality of your life depends on how well your body works. And how well your body works depends on how much energy it gets. Energy es from the food you eat. Food contains nutrients that your body needs for growth and energy.By eating a balanced diet, your body gets the six important nutrients it needs. Minerals（矿物质）are nutrients that build bones and teeth. Minerals also form red blood cells and other substances. Water aids digestion and waste removal. Carbohydrates（碳水化合物）give your body its main source of energy. Two carbohydrates are sugars from foods such as fruits and vegetables and starches found in rice, potatoes, and bread. Fats help build cell membranes（膜）. Proteins repair and grow body tissues（组织）. Finally, vitamins help your body use carbohydrates, fats, and proteins.The United States Department of Agriculture（USDA）has created a nutritional food pyramid（金字塔）. It shows the daily number of servings you should eat from five food groups. The food pyramid has four levels. The base of the pyramid is the largest level. It contains the bread, cereal, rice, and pasta group from which you need six to eleven servings. The next level has two food groups: vegetables and fruits. The USDA remends three to five servings of vegetables and two to four servings of fruit. The third level also has two groups: the milk, yogurt, and cheese group and the meat, poultry, fish, dry beans, eggs, and nuts group. You need two to three servings from each of these groups. The top of the pyramid is the smallest level. It contains fats, oils, and sweets. These foods have few nutrients, so eat them sparingly（有节制地）.36. What is the main idea for this passage_________?A．Eating a balanced diet gives your body the energy it needs.B．The top of the pyramid is the smallest level.C．Meat, poultry, fish, dry beans, eggs, and nuts are on the third level.D．We should have a nutrition food pyramid.38.
