河北省2023-2024学年高二年级上学期期末统考英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解Last Friday, Britain’s Prince William announced the winners of this year’s Earthshot Prize. The prize is meant to encourage new ideas and rapid action to help protect the planet. Below are parts of this year’s prize-winning projects in each category.Protect and Restore NatureKheyti won the prize for protecting and restoring nature with its “Greenhouse-in-a-box” idea. Kheyti is already working with 1, 000 farmers across India, which is one of the most climate-affected countries in the world. The company says the greenhouses allow farmers to use 90% less water and produce seven times as much food. Kheyti hopes to get its greenhouses to 50,000 farmers by 2027.Clean Our AirCharlot Magayi won the prize for cleaning the air. Ms. Magayi developed a stove (炉子) that uses a fuel that’s cheaper and pollutes far less than charcoal stoves. Currently, over 200,000 of her Clean Stoves are being used in Kenya.Build a Waste-Free WorldA London-based company called Notpla(for “Not Plastic”)won the prize for building a waste-free world. They’ve created a plastic substitute(替代品)from plants found in the ocean. Unlike most plastic, their products break down naturally with no microplastics. Notpla believes their products can help end the plastic pollution that’s filling landfills and polluting oceans.Fix Our ClimateThe Earthshot Prize for working toward fixing our climate went to a company called 44.01 from Oman. 44.01 has come up with a way to turn polluting carbon dioxide(CO2)into a rock called peridotite. Once the CO2 has been turned into rock, it can no longer be released into the atmosphere again. The method that 44.01 uses is fast, cheap and permanent. 1．What is the aim of the Earthshot Prize?A．To offer practical advice on global warming.B．To find solutions to the environmental problems.C．To develop a strategic partnership with all parties.D．To encourage literary creations of the British people.2．Where are Kheyti’s greenhouses widely used?A．In India.B．In Kenya.C．In the UK.D．In Oman. 3．What do Charlot Magayi and 44.01 have in common?A．They want to build a waste-free world.B．Their projects are directly good for farmers.C．Their achievements benefit the air cleaning.D．They use plants from the ocean in their products.Some of my earliest memories involve sitting with my dad in his study every night when he came home from the office, I’d watch as he put his personal items away; his watch, wallet, comb and car keys They would always occupy the same spot on the table every time.Dad’s comb was jade green. I heard he bought it when he married Mum. Every night, he would smile, hand me the comb and say, “Be a good girl and help Daddy clean it, OK?”I was more than happy to do it. At age five, this kind of task brought me such joy. I would excitedly turn the tap on, and then brush the comb with a used toothbrush as hard as I could. Satisfied that I’d done a good job, I would proudly return the comb to Dad. He would smile at me, and place the comb on top of his wallet.About two years later, Dad left his sales job and started his own wholesale business. I started primary school. That was when things started to change. Dad’s business wasn’t doing so well, and our stable life started getting shaky. He didn’t come home as much as he used to. And when he did come home, it was always late and I’d already be in bed. 1 started to get mad. Why didn’t he listen to Mum and just stick to his old job? Why did he take the risk and place the whole family in trouble? Over the years, I stopped waiting for him to come home, and stopped going downstairs to check on him.Now 28, I’ve graduated from college and got a job. Dad’s business has also started to get back on track. Yet the uncomfortable silence between Dad and me went on.Two days before my birthday last year, Dad came home early. On that evening, I helped him carry his bags into his study as usual. When I turned to leave, he asked me to clean his comb. I looked at him for a while, then took the comb and headed to the sink.It was the same comb. After cleaning it, I passed it back to Dad. He looked at it and smiled. But this time, I noticed something different. My dad had aged. He had wrinkles nextto his eyes when he smiled, yet his smile was still as heartwarming as before.4．From the first three paragraphs, we can learn___________.A．the author would study with Dad every eveningB．the precious green comb of Dad was made of jadeC．the earliest memories with Dad were full of joyD．the author was unwilling to clean the comb for Dad5．What probably made Dad decide to start his own business?A．He was eager to get everything on track.B．He wanted to keep his family life stable.C．He was laid off and had to make a living.D．He hoped to earn a better life for the family.6．What emotional changes did the author experience when staying with Dad these years?A．Cheerful→mad→warm.B．Mad→satisfied→warm.C．Satisfied→worried→angryD．Warm→concerned→uncomfortable.7．Which could be the best title for the text?A．My Dad’s CombB．Dad’s Wholesale BusinessC．Changes of My DadD．My Earliest Memories with DadMost people don’t lie very much. It makes sense. By being honest with people, you not only build up goodwill, but also save a lot of brain power since your brain doesn’t have to do anything out of the ordinary when you tell the truth. You just think of what you want to say, and you say it.Actually, lying takes much more work. Imagine you’re late to class and the teacher asks why. If you decide to lie, you have to make up a story on the spot, think about the various directions the conversation might take and figure out what you need to say to keep this whole lie from falling apart. You might not be aware of it, but you just give your brain a lot of extra work. “A lot of that brain work is done in a region called the prefrontal cortex. It’s the part in charge of working memory,” explains Jennifer Vendemia, a scientist from the University ofSouth Carolina.Working memory keeps something in mind just for a little while, such as remembering instructions for how to play a game or some other specific tasks. It stores things for only a short while as you’re using them, and it doesn’t put them in long-term storage. Besides working memory, the prefrontal cortex also takes care of tasks such as planning, problem-solving and self-control. Scientists describe these as executive function tasks. Executive function lets you think a step or two ahead to make sure the lie you’ re telling will likely hold up to questioning. “Spending so much brainpower trying to keep a story straight means there’s less available for other things,” says Vendemia. “Lying is especially harmful for young people as the prefrontal cortex is not fully developed until around age 25. When the prefrontal cortex is busy with tasks related to lying, younger people have a harder time doing other tasks.”Lying has social costs, too. People generally value honesty and don’t like liars. So if people view you as untrustworthy, it can be bad for your relationships.8．What is the first paragraph mainly about?A．The costs of lying to people.B．The true meaning of honesty.C．The benefits of being truthful.D．The difficulty of being a good liar.9．Why is a lying student mentioned in the second paragraph?A．To prove a concept B．To introduce a topic.C．To provide the background.D．To give an example.10．Which of the following is the function of working memory?A．Remembering a life-long lesson.B．Storing information for a short time.C．Pushing oneself to face difficulties.D．Processing information in the brain.11．What is the passage mainly about?A．The reasons why people lie.B．The harmful effects of lying.C．The part of brain in charge of lying.D．The ways to avoid being caught lying.Have you ever noticed that the stars sometimes appear brighter in December, January and February? There's a link between cold air and the night lights. "Part of it is that it tends to be drier in the winter," said Diane Tumshek, an astronomer at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Even though it's invisible, moisture can change the way light moves through the air. And in the summer, moisture can make stars appear more dull.Air temperature is also what puts the twinkle twinkle in the little stars. "Even on very clear nights, some of the atmosphere is cooler, and some of the atmosphere is warmer,” said Tumshek, who also works with the Allegheny Observatory. And when the light from a star passes through those bubbles of varying temperatures, "it bends and shifts the light, so that we are seeing stars appear to dance or twinkle,” she said.For star lovers in the United States, there's another factor that comes into play for bright winter stars, although this is a matter of coincidence. During Earth's journey around the sun, “there are just simply more bright stars visible from the Northern Hemisphere in the winter sky," Tumshek said. If you really want to see a shiny star, just try to find a burning ball of gas called Sirius near the horizon. At 8.6 light-years away, Sirius is relatively close to Earth and the brightest star visible in the night sky. It is also large — nearly twice as big as our sun and 20 times as bright. So this winter, when the world turns cold and it seems like we should be spending more time indoors, consider asking an adult to go exploring outside. With a warm coat and a clear sky, any night can be turned into a treasure hunt. All you have to do is look up.12．What does the underlined word "dull" in Paragraph 1 probably mean?A．not shiny B．not exciting C．not severe D．not smart 13．How does air temperature influence the brightness of stars?A．By changing the bubbles around them.B．By putting the twinkle twinkle in them.C．By varying the direction of the light from them.D．By making the stars dance and twinkle in the sky.14．What do we know about Sirius?A．It can be found at any night.B．It is 20 times as bright as the sun.C．It is a burning and shiny ball.D．It is closer to Earth than other stars, 15．What is the author's purpose in writing the text?A．To advocate stargazing in winter,B．To call on people to focus on stars.C．To present new research results about stars.D．To explain why stars are more visible in winter.Poetry has healing powers. To get more joy and peace, we don’t have to be a professional poet but we can develop a poetic mindset (心态). 16Be in awe (敬畏) of everything.The poetic mindset starts with the idea that nothing is an accident. Everything is interrelated and plays a part in a greater whole. 17 Close your eyes. Now open them. What is the first thing you see? Look closer. Ask yourself: What does it look like? What does it remind you of? Does it bring happy thoughts or sad ones? Why? I bet your randomly selected object is full of meaning.18A poem is a place where you can pour out your hard feelings. Don’t be afraid. You can always throw the page into the fireplace once you’ve filled it. 19 Poetry can be a storeroom for everything difficult in your life. But there’s more, I find when I write about something I’m struggling with, my negative feeling begins to become weaker.Seek what inspires you.Life isn’t perfect, but you can live with love and trust anyway. 20 There is always goodness to be found once you train yourself to look for it. Poetry to me is a form of praise. I build poems from things I see, people I meet and thoughts and feelings found deep inside. As I present those treasures in poetic language, I am appreciating what is good in them.A．Let pain be your teacher.B．How can we manage it in an easy way?C．What are the steps of writing a good poem?D．Poetry helps us remember this important wisdom.E．Or seal it in an envelope and come back to it later.F．Writing a poem is about describing your inner world vividly.G．Therefore, everything deserves notice and even appreciation.二、完形填空I was walking through the bush when, suddenly, a baby koala rushed to me through theof these animals 24 .Ever since I was a girl, I’d loved animals and at 18 had started work at the Curmmbin Wildlife Sanctuary as a 25 collector.

Disney.Johannes Fritz, an Austrian biologist, needed to come up with a plan again if he was going to prevent his rare and beloved birds from going extinct.To survive the European winter, the northern bald ibis needs to migrate south for the winter over the Alps. But shifting climate patterns have delayed when the birds begin to migrate and they are now reaching the mountains too late to make it over the peaks, locking them in an icy death trap. Determined to save them, he decided to teach the birds a new, safer migration route by guiding them himself in a tiny aircraft. He was confident that he could succeed in this daring, unconventional plan.the last in the wild, causing the birds to disappear entirely from the wild. When Mr. Fritz was born 56 years ago, the northern bald ibis could be found in Europe only in captivity (圈养) .Mr.Fritz has spent his career reintroducing the birds into the wild. Through years of trial and error, he learned to fly like a bird. He modified (改装) a lightweight aircraft so it would fly at speeds slow enough for the birds to keep up. In 2004, he led the first flock from Austria to Italy, and has since led more migrations. But the route he originally taught the ibises does not work successfully. With climate change warming the area where the birds summer, they now start their migration at the end of October instead of the end of September. The trip is expected to take about six weeks, “Still, we’re optimistic that it’ll work,” said Mr. Fritz.His family and colleagues witnessed the risks he was taking. “But the unavoidable risks are necessary,” Mr. Fritz said. “It’s not so much a job, but my life’s purpose.”4．What was Johannes Fritz’s plan?A. To shorten bald ibises’ migration route.B. To lead bald ibises to migrate on a new route.C. To better the climate patterns for bald ibises.D. To find out a safer destination for bald ibises.5．What does the underlined word “devoured” in paragra ph 3 mean?A. Destroyed.B. Abused.C. Released.D. Raised.6．Why was Mr. Fritz’s initial route for the birds ineffective?A. Owing to the long time it consumes.B. For the slow speed of his modified aircraft.C. Because of the toughness along the first route.D. Due to higher temperatures in the summer habitat.7．Which of the following can best describe Mr. Fritz?A. Honest.B. Innovative.C. Straightforward.D. Demanding.As you’re drafting your New Year’s resolutions, you may think that it takes 21 days of repeating an action for that action to become a habit. So, you set out to go to the gym for 21 days, thinking that by day 22 heading to the gym will feel automatic—maybe even fun.However, that 21-day estimate isn’t true. A habit expert Wendy Wood found that this falsehood came from a self-help book in the 1960s and actually described how long it takes to get used to your new appearance after plastic surgery. It’s important to note t hat getting used to something is not the same thing as forming a habit, and perhaps the two concepts got confused along the way, giving rise to the term today.To figure out how long it actually takes to form a habit, Phillippa Lally, and her team did a series of research.They recruited 96 people and asked each person to choose one new habit and report each day on whether or not they did the behavior and how automatic the behavior felt. Some people chose simple habits like “drinking a bottle of water with lunch.” Others chose m ore difficult tasks like “running for 15 minutes before dinner.” At the end of 12 weeks, the researchers analyzed the data to determine how long it took each person to go from starting a new behavior to automatically doing it.The study found that it takes more than 2 months before a new behavior becomes automatic—66 days to be exact. And if you want to set your expectations appropriately, the truth is that it will probably take you anywhere from two months to eight months to build a new behavior into your life. Interestingly, the researchers also found that “m issing one opportunity to perform the behavior did not affect the habit formation process.” That is to say, it doesn’t matter if you mess up every now and then. Building better habits is not an all-or-nothing process.So, for those who wish to form certain habits, persistence is king. To form a good habit, we need to pay more energy and effort.8．What does “21days” actually mean according to Wendy Wood?A. The time one drafts a book.B. The time one develops a new habit.C. The time one gets used to something.D. The time one recovers from a surgery. 9．How did the researchers do the research?A. By doing questionnaires.B. By tracking people’s behaviors.C. By making predictions.D. By analyzing data of previous studies. 10．What can we infer from paragraph 5?A. Habits cannot be noticed easily.B. The amount of time a habit takes varies.C. One should perform a behavior constantly.D. It takes exactly 66 days to form a new habit.11．What is the best title of the passage?A. Habit—good or not?B. Better habit, better life?C. 21days to form a habit?D. Hit or miss with habits?The house had been cleaned and decorated elegantly. The air smelt fresh. Little labels on all we saw around the house displayed important details: date of purchase and the current selling price. We were at a garage sale. There was no talking or bargaining. Buyers could pick up at the listed price.All efforts that release cash that is locked into stuff touch me deeply. If they break conventional ideas, I will like them even more. It is my view that people love to follow suit and end up with emotions they ought to feel, rather than being true to themselves. To say that one does not care for one’s grandmother’s necklace is considered rude, so one would simply keep it in the locker and pass it on to the next generation.No longer so, I am guessing.It’s not always about money, but perhaps about considering one’s choices. My argument always is to use stuff, if you like it so much. Wear those pieces of jewellery; use those pieces of furnitures; take home those piles of old-time bedsheets. But if none of them fit into your current home, allow someone else to take them home. Turn those properties over instead of leaving them unused.Hoarding (囤积) is not a virtue. It is a waste of the money that is locked into the property you are hoarding. I may use it sometime in the future, say some. Give that a time frame. If you are holding something you haven’t used even once in five years, ask yourself if someone else may need it. Don’t sell if you don’t care for money; but do give it away.All else needs to earn their place for their value and usefulness for you. Celebrate the liberation from hoarding and let there be light!12．What do people often do at the garage sale?A. Purchase a garage.B. Label their belongings.C. Talk about decoration.D. Trade their unused stuff.13．Why does the author mention “neeklace” in par agraph 2?A. To call for respect towards the elderly.B. To advocate holding onto the family tradition.C. To show the financial condition of an average family.D. To prove people tend to follow suit against their wills.14．What does the author believe according to paragraph 4?A. It is a good idea to save money.B. A good taste counts in purchase.C. Unused items deserve a new owner.D. The outdated should be thrown away.15．What is the author’s purpose of writing the passage?A. To call on people to get rid of hoarding.B. To show his worry about wasting resources.C. To draw attention to conserving the traditions.D. To inspire people to spend more on meaningful things.二、七选五16．In our ever-evolving world, where both personal and professional areas are loaded with challenges, problem solving skills are increasingly valuable in the workplace. ①Here’s how to enhance your strategy.Clear and brief communication is the key to effective problem-solving, acting as the bridge that connects diverse perspectives toward a common goal. ② It involves choosing the right words, structuring information logically, and being mindful of the audience to ensure that your message is both impressive and comprehensible.

Paragraph2:To my great shock,just when I hesitated to admit it,Larry said,“Yes.I ate it.”My parents looked at Larry with disappointment,not believing that he would do such a thing.He had高二英语（答）—1always been a good boy.Then he apologized.Seeing that Larry’s face reddened and his eyes swelled,I got my lesson and told the truth.My father didn’t get mad about my behavior.Instead,he praised my brother for his kindness and courage,and also praised me for not escaping the blame for what I had done.He then bought another box of ice cream.We ate happily.听力材料Text1W:I’m late for work and my car isn’t working,so I need to find someone to take me to work.M:I can take you.Text2W:I went to a really cool museum with my class yesterday.M:Really?You mean the Nature Museum?W:No,it was the Science Museum,and there was a show of robots.We were supposed to go to the Art Museum,but that got canceled so we did this instead.Text3W:I just came to pick up my plastic container that I lent you the other day.M:Oh,right.Well,I’ve just washed it actually,so here you go.Text4W:John,can you do me a favor in the kitchen?M:At your service.W:I would like half of the chicken cut into slices,and the other half kept.Remember to cut off the fat.Your father doesn’t like the taste.Text5W:Hey,Rex,how are you at cooking?Are you any good?M:Not really if I’m honest.Text6M:What did you do on the weekend,Amy?W:Let me think.Oh,I went shopping on Friday evening and bought some daily necessities for the apartment.M:What did you get?W:Oh,some towels and a new toothbrush.Saturday wasn’t too bad.I went jogging in the morning and went to the gym in the afternoon.But after all that exercise,I was too tired to do anything on Saturday night.M:So how about Sunday?W:It was great!I went out on a date with a really great man that night.Text7W:Slow down,Adam.You’re driving like a mad man.M:I told Greta I’d pick her up at9:45.Her plane lands at9:20.W:Relax.It’s just9o’clock now.There’s plenty of time.M:I suppose so.W:Did you have breakfast yet?M:No.I jumped out of bed this morning and ran out of the front door.I didn’t have time to eat.W:I’ve got an apple in my bag,if you want it.高二英语（答）—2M:Have you got anything else?W:Pens,pencils,a notebook…but nothing to eat.Just the apple,I’m afraid.M:I’ll pick something up at the airport.W:Are you crazy?Food’s always ten times more expensive at the airport.Text8W:How on earth did you fall out of the window?M:I was sitting with my mother in the living room playing with my toys.My sister started crying in the bedroom,and my mom went to take care of her.So I pushed a chair near a window and climbed on top to have a look outside.And while I was standing by the window,my biscuit fell out of my mouth.I tried to catch it,but I lost my balance and fell.W:Oh,my goodness!Do you remember the fall?M:It was all very quick,but I remember lying on the ground with people all around me.And then I saw my mom.She was hopeless,because she thought my head hurt,but all I had was a broken leg.I was very lucky.W:Surely you’re a lucky boy.Be more careful next time.Text9W:Can I help you?M:Yes,my son and daughter bought this pen here for my wife’s birthday,but it doesn’t work,so I’d like to exchange it.W:Let me see.Was it dropped or anything?M:No,but you can see that the point is bent a little bit.W:Yes,it is,isn’t it?We’d be happy to exchange it for you.But I’m afraid we don’t have another purple one.We only have this pen in black or yellow now.M:My wife doesn’t really care for either of those colors.W:We have one with a red leather cover.That’s three dollars more.M:The children worked hard to save up the eleven dollars for this one.They would probably be upset if I paid for part of their present.W:If you want,we can order another pen just like this one.M:That sounds like a good idea.Would you please go ahead and do that?W:We’d be very happy to.It will take a week or ten days.We’ll call you when it comes in.M:Thank you very much.Text10M:May I have your attention,please?Today,I would like to share with you one of my experiences.It happened to me a few years ago.That day after lunch I was on my way to school hurriedly becauseI was afraid that I would be late.Suddenly I hit against an old man carelessly and the books andpapers in my hand dropped onto the ground.It was I that hit against him but I scolded the old man rudely.The man just smiled at me and helped me pick up all the books and papers on the ground.After that he turned round and went away.When I got to my classroom,our class teacher told us that a new teacher would replace him and the new teacher would arrive soon.To my surprise,I found that the new teacher was the man I had run into on my way to school.I believed he would have a rather poor opinion of me but he treated me the same as other students.From my story I learned a lesson that I should be polite to a stranger at any time.参考答案及解析第二部分阅读第一节A【语篇导读】本文是一篇应用文。

第一节（每小题 2 分，满分 30 分）ATwo European Summer Must “Seas”When you think of summer, the beach, clear water, sunny skies, and relaxing days are a few things that come to mind, and two of the best places to experience these summer feels are two gorgeous European bodies of water: the Mediterranean Sea and the Adriatic Sea! These two incredible Seas hold some of my favorite travel memories, and I would revisit each one in a heartbeat!The Mediterranean SeaThe Mediterranean Sea can be accessed from various European countries as well as a few North African countries. And while many think of visiting Ibiza, Malta, or the Greek islands to experience the Mediterranean, my Mediterranean beach days came while visiting the seaside city of Marseille in the South of France! Marseille was a lovely city with easy access to the Sea, also with pretty sandy beaches. The gorgeous crystal clear blue water made it unlike any beach day in America! Not only were the beaches amazing, but the city of Marseille was adorable and filled with numerous cute shops and seaside restaurants. And the Mediterraneanstyle food was delicious!The Adriatic SeaThe Adriatic Sea is equally as stunning and surely worth a visit! The Croatian coast has numerous beach clubs, some private and some public, that tourists are able to visit and you can experience the beauty of the Adriatic Sea there! Zrce Novalja, a Croatian seaside town I visited, was impressively featured by the rather rocky beach in place of sand. The rocks were small and smooth, making swimming in the sea andwading in the water just as easy as sandy beaches! Plus, the locals in Croatia are also extremely friendly, making the experience even more memorable.1. The writer's trip to the two seas was full of ________.A. unbearable hardshipsB. various adventuresC. wonderful experiencesD. funny events2. From which place did the writer get to the Mediterranean Sea?A. Ibiza.B. Malta.C. The Greek islands.D. Marseille.3. What makes Zrce Novalja so special?A. Its beach clubs.B. Its beautiful sea.C. Its rocky beach.D. Its friendly locals.【答案】1. C 2. D 3. C【解析】【分析】这是一篇应用文。

Houston,Texas,a group of12Rice University undergraduates in Jayoung Song's second-year Korean language class took out their smartphones,opened the YouTube app and fastened their phones to virtual-reality headsets.Within seconds,they were30to a typical caféin Seoul,South Korea and were encouraged to begin a situational conversation with Korean peers,whose statements and questions had been31This is the way the innovative world of language32is going as virtual-reality learning videos enter the classroom and provide students with the closest thing to real-life situation that they could possibly get."A lot of literature says that it is really important to be exposed to the language and culture in order to succeed in language learning,"said Song,a lecturer of Korean whose papers focused on comparing a face-to-face andvirtual-world environment for33second-language learners'interactional competence."But technically,it would be bard for students to go to Korea and learn Korean there,so I wanted to bring that setting to the classroom so that students can34it with the virtual-reality glasses and their cellphones."Song is one of the first instructors in the university's School of Humanities'Center for Languages and Intercultural Communication to incorporate the technology in her classroom.In recent years,35for Korean language classes at Rice has doubled to more than100students per year.A key driver,according to Song,is South Korea's export of pop culture,fueled by the popularity of Korean pop（K-pop）music and videos on YouTube and serialized TV K-dramas.Other virtual-reality scenarios that Song's students engage in include shopping in a supermarket,traveling on the subway and visiting a doctor's office."This local setting…really gives it the real-life situation experience of learning language and culture,"said Siyu Geng,a senior36in mathematical economic analysis."The world is getting into a multilingual and multicultural era,"Song said."In this time,it's very useful to learn foreign language and culture to become37professionals in this linguistically and culturally diverse world." III.Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections:For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A,B,C and D.Pill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.By2030,60percent of the world's population is expected to live in big cities.How all those people live,and what their lives are like,will38important choices leaders make today and in the coming years.Technology has the power to help people live in communities that are more39to their needs and that can actually improve their lives.For example,Beijing,troubled by air pollution,is testing a23-foot-tall air40that cleans up smog,filters the bad particles（微粒）and releases clear air.This isn't a vision of life in the family comedy The Jetsons.It's real urban communities responding in real-time to changing weather,times of day and citizen needs.These efforts can cover entire communities.They can vary from monitoring traffic to keeping cars moving efficiently or measuring air41to warn residents when pollution levels climb.Using data and electronic sensors in this way is often42as building"smart cities,"which are the subject of a major push to improve how cities function.In part a response to unreasonable infrastructure（基础设施）design and urban planning of the past,smart cities43real-time monitoring,analysis and improvement of citydecision-making.The results,supporters say,will improve efficiency,environmental sustainability and citizen engagement.Smart city projects are big investments that are supposed to drive social44Decisions made early in the 45determine what exactly will change.But most research and planning regarding smart cities is driven by the technology,46the needs of the citizens.Little attention is given to the social,policy and organizational changes that will be required to ensure smart cities are not just technologically comprehensive but intelligently47to their residents'needs.Design will make the difference between smart city projects offering great prospect or actually increasing or even widening the existing gaps in unequal ways their cities serve residents.A key48of smart cities is that they create efficiency.Well-designed technology tools can49 government agencies,the environment and residents.Smart cities can improve the efficiency of city services by finding ways to save money and streamlining workers'responsibilities.The results can provide higher-quality at lower cost.38.A.take over B.consist of C.depend on D.lean towards39.A.available B.responsive C.constant D.considerable40.A.container B.refrigerator C.purifier D.accelerator41.A.quantity B.resistance C.concentration D.quality42.A.referred to B.made for C.logged in D.blamed for43.A.construct B.promise C.disturb D.reflect44.A.transformation B.cooperation C.productivity D.regulation45.A.position B.shape C.process D.intention46.A.in spite of B.rather than C.in place of D.so long as47.A.sustainable B.equivalent C.adaptive D.substantial48.A.feature B.entrance C.ingredient D.passion49.A.represent B.exhaust C.benefit D.approveSection BDirections:Read the following two 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 read.（A）A culture that values achievement and progress will discourage people from"wasting"time.In religious societies, customs specify times of the day,week,or year for prayer and religious celebrations.If an individual tries to make an appointment during a sacred holiday,he or she could unknowingly offend a religious person.Social manners determine appropriate times for visit,meetings,and even phone calls.Punctuality is important in American business,academic and social settings.The importance of punctuality is taught to young children in school.People who keep appointments are considered dependable.If people are late to job interviews,appointments or classes,they are often viewed as unreliable and irresponsible.In the business world,"time is money"and companies may fine their executives for being late to business meetings.Of course,it was not always possible to be punctual.Social and business manners also provide rules for late arrivals.Calling on the telephone if one is going to be more than a few minutes late for scheduled appointments is considered polite and is often expected. Keeping a date or a friend waiting beyond ten to twenty minutes is considered rude.On the other hand,arriving thirty minutes late to some parties is acceptable.Respecting deadlines is also important in academic and professional circles.It is expected that deadlines for class assignments or business reports will be met.Whether it is a question of arriving on time or of meeting a deadline, people are culturally conditioned to regulate time.Time is tangible;one can"gain time","spend time","waste time","save time",or even"kill time"!The treatment of time as a possession influences the way time is carefully divided.Generally,Americans are taught to do one thing at a time and may be uncomfortable when an activity is interrupted.Visitors who"drop by"without prior notice may interrupt their host's personal time.Thus,calling friends on the telephone before visiting them is generally preferred to visitors"dropping by".To accommodate other people's schedules.Americans make business plans and social engagements several days or weeks in advance.50.Who are considered reliable and responsible according to the passage?A.People who make appointments during sacred holidays.B.People who always have good plans and save time.C.People who would not like to disturb othersD.People who are punctual for appointments51.The word"tangible"in Paragraph4can be best replaced by___________according to the passage.A.limitedB.flexibleC.valuableD.material52.Which of the following statements about American social life is TRUE?A.Americans treat time so carefully as to bear unexpected interruption.B.Americans visit their friends without noticing them in advance.C.Americans prefer being visited to being called on the telephone.D.Americans make business plans and social engagements beforehand.53.What is this passage mainly concerned with?A.How Americans have a future orientation.B.How Americans are influenced by their religion.C.How time is regulated and perceived in the US.D.How achievement and progress are valued in the US.（B）Alexander FlemingDemocritus（c.Ernest RutherfordAlfred Wegeneratom is mostly empty space.Noticing the interlockable shapes of the continents,Wegener made the bold proposal that Earth's landmasses began as a single,giant continent.Over manyyears,many disciplines including geology andfossilology would finally prove that his theory of"continental drift"is accurate.54.Which of the following best define"Inducers"and"Deducers"according to the poster?A.Inducers are those who arrive at a conclusion based on theories.B.Inducers prefer to make experiments to prove some relative theories.C.Deducers usually do more experiments than develop theories.D.Deducers tend to arrive at a conclusion by reasoning or inference.55.Which of the following is True according to the poster?A.Mendel recognised mathematical laws governing genetics by farming.B.Newton proposed the idea"universal gravitation"by observing the falling of apples.C.It was Fleming who made the discovery of the first effective antibiotic.D.Alfred Wegener created the theory of"continental drift"after he found rich evidence.56.Where can this poster most probably be seen?A.In a university lecture.B.In a physics textbook.C.In a science magazine.D.In an advertisement.Section CDirections:Read the following passage.Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box.Each sentence can be used only once.Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A.In fact,they tended to return to the way they felt before they became rich.B.Nowadays people look to technology as an alternative source of satisfaction.C.Family relationships in particular seem to be the key to long-term contentment.D.You can't buy happiness but it looks like you can at least inherit it,some researchers said.E.The database makes it clear that there is not a strong connection between material wealth and general contentment.F.An important implication is that personality traits of being outgoing and reliable provide a resource that drives future happiness.Can Happiness Be Bought?There is a Web site called the"World Database of Happiness".It combines and analyzes the results of hundredsof surveys from around the world that have been conducted on life satisfaction.Most of the findings are predictable, but a few are surprising.57it is quite common to say that money can't buy happiness,but the old saying seems to be supported by research.Many people still stick to the belief that gaining riches will be the answer to all their problems,yet they are probably mistaken.Studies have been carried out on people who acquired sudden wealth,such as lottery winners.In most cases,after the initial joy had worn off,people were not left with a sense of lasting happiness.58Previously contented people continue to be contented,while those who were miserable before sink back into misery.If material wealth does not bring happiness,then what does?Perhaps happiness has something to do with where you live.The authorities at the World Database on Happiness have surveyed levels of happiness in different countries. Other surveys consistently point to the importance of relationships.59The Web site suggests that falling in love and having children are two of the situations that bring the greatest happiness.60People increasingly spend more time alone watching TV or surfing the Internet rather than spending time with family.Can technology truly make people happy?It is too difficult to tell,but one thing is sure:If the Web site's research is accurate,time spent with your family is a better investment than time spent making money.第Ⅱ卷（共26分）IV.TranslationSection ADirections:Complete the following sentences in English according to the sentences given in Chinese.61.We shouldn't ignore______________the economy has on society.我们不应忽视经济对社会的潜在影响。
高二上学期英语期末考试试卷第44套真题
高二上学期英语期末考试试卷一、阅读理解（共10小题；每小题2.5分，满分25分）1. 阅读理解I grewup in a home with a mother who believes that vaccines cause brain damage, and do notcontribute to the health and safety of a society. The only shot I received wasfor tetanus when I was two months old. After that, nothing.Atthe beginning of each school year, I was very nervous. Delayed term paper?Mischievous behavior? Late for school? None of them. I’d be pulled outof class and brought to the headmaster’s office. The school doctor would tellme I h adn’t received any of the necessary shots to attend school. But the samething occurred each time: my mom would free me from the shots and nothing wouldhappen.Afterdoing a lot of research, I found although people who don’t vaccinate theirchildren make up only a relatively small group, they can cause majorconsequences. People who, for health or age reasons, cannot receive vaccinesare at a higher risk of catching a preventable disease.Eventually,I turned 18. In Ohio, where I live, I had to wait until I became a legal adultto make the decision to receive vaccine shots. A huge factor in taking the stepto ensure my health was the message board website Reddit. Last November, Iasked Reddit users for advice about what vaccines to ask forand how to goabout getting them from a doctor. After my post received more than 1,000comments, I made an appointment with my family physician. Despite how stronglymy mother felt, I went through with it anyway.I didsomething every person should do. It wasn’t special in any way. Vaccinesprotect the health and safety of not only yourself but also other people.Vaccination is important because someone could die if you don’t get vaccinated.This was the biggest reason I got vaccines despite the opposition.（1）Why was the author called to the headmaster’s office at the beginning of each school year?A . He was late for school.B . He didn’t behave himself at school.C . He couldn’t hand in his term paper on time.D . He was hardly ever vaccinated.（2）How might t he author’s mother have felt about his appointment with the family physician?A . Annoyed.B . Grateful.C . Thrilled.D . Guilty.（3）What does the author mainly want to tell us through his story?A . Listening to your mother pays off.B . Doing the right thing matters.C . Keeping fit is the best policy.D . Asking for advice helps.2. 阅读理解When did you last buy something? Maybe you are lookingforward to a shopping trip at the weekend, but will it make you happy? In theshort term, the answer might be yes. However, some people think it might not begood for our health and happiness in the long term.One of the busiest shopping days of the year in the USA isBlack Friday ,which has spread around theworld. However, not everyone will be queuing for a bargain. In 1992, BuyNothing Day started in Canada and now more than sixty countries take part.Their message is simple: “Participate by not participating.” Fortwenty-four hours on the fourth Friday of November, people do not buy anythingat all. Some people choose to spend time with friends and family instead.Others join protests. But what’s the point?Every single purchase that you make has some kind of aneffect on the planet. Making the products and transporting them to the shopsuse a lot of natural resources. When they are no longer in fashion, theproducts will end up in the dustbin. All this contributes to air and waterpollution, the destruction of our environment and social inequality.The social influence of our spending habits is alsoserious. People in consumerist culture are more likely to suffer from financialproblems and stress. In order to buy expensive products, people work long hoursand therefore spend less time with family and friends.Critics of Buy Nothing Day say it’s meaningless becausepeople will just buy more the following day. But the organizers argue that BuyNothing Day makes people think about the consequences of consumption and maybemake some changes to their life style.（1）Why is the question “When did you last buy something?” asked?A . To remind us of the approaching of Black Friday.B . To attach importance to our health and happiness.C . To introduce the topic of shopping too much.D . To encourage us to participate in Buy Nothing Day.（2）How can people participate in Buy Nothing Day?A . By not participating in any advertisement for Black Friday.B . By not buying anything on four Fridays of November.C . By spending time shopping with friends and family.D . By not going shopping on Black Friday.（3）What’s NOT the point of Buy Nothing Day?A . Saving time spent on working.B . Saving the environment and our earth.C . Saving money for charity.D . Saving our relationship with friends and family.（4）What’s the organizers’ opin ion on Buy Nothing Day?A . It can make a difference in some way.B . It won’t have a lasting effect.C . It can help people choose goods more reasonably.D . It can cure people’s shopping addiction.3. 阅读理解Of all the places stray cats can live in Beijing, perhaps none provides greater companionshipthan an underground facility known as the “Cat Shed”. A variety ofcats are spread across the shed’s 100 square meters. They jump and play on toytowers or rest on cotton blankets on iron-framed beds.Since the facility was established in 2012, some 150 catshave lived there.

Accustomedto having friends around, he was not used to a lonely life, especially workingby himself and spending up to 10 hours in a lab most days. To improve his mood,he decided to contact animal bases, looking for opportunities to care for straycats. When he heard that a stray cat basement near his campus was looking forvolunteers, he contacted Wu Xinhua, who organizes activities at the Cat Shed,and was soon surrounded by furry friends. His favorite moment is when he dishesout food and a dozen strays gather round, with several rubbing against hisfeet.

APRACTITIONERSJacqueline Felice de Almania(c. 1322) highlights the suspicion that women practicing medicine faced. Born to a Jewish family in Florence, she moved to Paris where she worked as a physician and performed surgery. In 1322 she was tried for practicing unlawfully. In spite of the court hearing testimonials (证明) of her ability as a doctor, she was banned from medicine.Tan Yunxian (1461-1554) was a Chinese physician who learned her skills from her grandparents. Chinese women at the time could not serve apprenticeships (学徒期) with doctors. However, Tan passed the official exam. Tan treated women from all walks of life. In 1511, Tan wrote a book, Sayings of a Female Doctor, describing her life as a physician.James Barry (c. 1789-1865) was born Margaret Bulkley in Ireland but, dressed as a man, she was accepted by Edinburgh University to study medicine. She qualified as a surgeon in 1813, then joined the British Army, serving overseas. Barry retired in 1859, having practiced her entire medical profession living and working as a man.Rebecca Lee Crumpler(1831-1895) worked as a nurse for eight years before studying in medical college in Boston in 1860. Four years later, she was the first African American woman to receive a medical degree. She moved to Virginia in 1865, where she provided medical care to freed slaves.21. What did Jacqueline and James have in common?A. Doing teaching jobs.B. Being hired as physicians.C. Performing surgery.D. Being banned from medicine.22. How was Tan Y unxian different from the other practitioners?A. She wrote a book.B. She went through trials.C. She worked as a dentist.D. She had formal education.23. Who was the first African American with a medical degree?A. Jacqueline Felice de Almania.B. Tan Yunxian.C. James Barry.D. Rebecca Lee Crumpler.BI’m in the area of Noailles in Marseille, France’s second largest city and its main trade seaport. Some small shops sell vegetables, meat, and, it seems, all the spices of the Middle East. In addition to French, languages spoken on the busy streets include Arabic and African French. It all adds up to one of the most ethnically diverse cities in Europe.Close to the downtown street, I discover an Algerian restaurant, whose owner makes his signature dish—couscous with barley, not the usual wheat, using a recipe that hasn’t changed since the 1920s. Couscous is an necessary part of Marseille culture. The dish was added to the UNESCO’s Lists of Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2020.To be honest, before I travelled here, couscous had not been the first meal that came to mind when I thought of Marseille. It was bouillabaisse, the rich soup with olive oil, garlic and saffron. I imagined enjoying it at a small portside cafe. This was clearly a romantic fantasy. For one thing, there are no small cafes at historic city. For another, the restaurants do serve bouillabaisse, but when I see the price at one place I am shocked: 69 euros! No bowl of soup should cost that much.I give up and end up two streets away from the old harbor in a new restaurant, Ourea. For 28 euros, Chef Matthieu Roche serves a three-course lunch that includes tuna steaks and couscous.More and more young, talented people are discovering that Marseille is an ideal place to live. There is also a growing number of Parisians moving here every year. Tired of the rush and expense of life in larger cities, the newcomers come looking for the more relaxed Mediterranean way of life.Walking through these contrasting neighborhoods of Marseille. I think about the distinct communities here living in the same neighborhoods- together, side, by, side, but not mixed. They may also feel they are Marseillais first regardless of nationalities.24．Which word can best describe Marseille according to the first paragraph?A．Remote.B．Commercial.C．Industrial.D．Inland.25．What made the author leave the Algerian restaurant?A．The unreasonable charge.B．The unbearable flavor.C．The unsatisfying service.D．The noisy atmosphere.26．Why do the newcomers choose Marseille rather than other big cities?A．To make a fortune.B．To experience a dish.C．To learn a language.D．To live a leisurely life.27．In which column of a magazine can we probably read the text?A．Fashion.B．Food.C．Trade.D．Travel.CThe Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC)confirmed on Monday that a Boeing 737 passenger plane with 132 aboard crashed in China’s Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. The CAAC has activated an emergency mechanism and sent a working group to the scene.The crash site of the Chinese passenger plane was located at Molang Village, Langnan Town in Tengxian County, Wuzhou City in south China’s Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, according to the local emergency department.The Wuzhou City Fire Rescue Detachment immediately dispatched 23 fire trucks and 117 fire rescue personnel to the site. The Guangxi Fire Rescue Corps launched an emergency plan and reinforced 538 fire rescue personnel from nearby detachments for further help.The forest fire bureau has deployed 450 firefighters stationed in Zhaoqing, Guangdong Province, and Guilin in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region to the scene.China Eastern Airlines has grounded all Boeing 737-800 aircraft after the crash, company officials said.Rescuers are making all-out efforts to retrieve (检索、找回) the black boxes of a passenger plane with 132 people aboard that crashed in South China’s Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region Monday afternoon, an official with the Civil Aviation Administration of China said Tuesday night.The plane was severely damaged and the investigation is very difficult, Zhu Tao, head of CAAC aviation safety office, told a press briefing.At present, the investigation team is carrying out a full search in accordance with the procedures, with rescuers exploring the crash site and going all out to search the black boxes, Zhu said.The team is also thoroughly investigating other aspects, including flight, maintenance, air traffic control, meteorology (气象学), aircraft design and manufacturing, Zhu said.Based on known information, the authorities do not yet have a clear clue to the cause of the passenger plane crash, the official said.28．Which of the following is NOT the measures taken by the local authority after the plane crashed? A．The Guangxi Fire Rescue Corps launched an emergency plan.B．The Guangxi Fire Rescue Corps reinforced 538 fire rescue personnel from nearby detachments for further help.C．The forest fire bureau has deployed 450 firefighters stationed in Zhaoqing, Guangdong Province, and Guilin in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region to the scene.D．The CAAC has activated an emergency mechanism and sent a working group to the scene. 29．What does the underlined word in Paragraph 5 mean?A．Protest.B．Stop.C．Donate.D．Locate.30．What can we infer from this passage?A．There were altogether 655 fire rescue personnel to provide help.B．Rescuers have retrieved the black boxes.C．Meteorology, maintenance, flight and air traffic control is the key factor that leads to the crash. D．The clue of the cause has yet to be found.31．Which type of passage is this article taken from?A．A newspaper.B．A textbook.C．A science magazine.D．A biological journal.DReading can be a social activity. Think of the people who belong to book groups. They choose books to read and then meet to discuss them. Now, the website Book turns the pageon the traditional idea of a book group.Members go on the website and register (注册) the books they own and would like to share. BookCrossing provides an identification number to stick inside the book. Then the person leaves it in a public place, hoping that the book will have an adventure, traveling far and wide with each new reader who finds it.Bruce Pederson, the managing director of BookCrossing, says, “The two things that change your life are the people you meet and books you read. BookCrossing combines both.”Members leave books on park benches and buses, in train stations and coffee shops. Whoever finds their book will go to the site and record where they found it.People who find a book can also leave a journal entry describing what they thought of it. E-mails are then sent to the BookCrossing to keep them updated about where their books have been found. Bruce Pederson says the idea is for people not to be selfish by keeping a book to gather dust on a shelf at home.BookCrossing is part of a trend among people who want to get back to the “real” and not the virtual. The website now has more than one million members in more than one hundred thirty-five countries.32．Why does the author mention book groups in the first paragraph?A．To make comparisons.B．To introduce the topic.C．To stress the importance.D．To provide an example.33．Why does BookCrossing attract so many people?A．They like to pass books to another reader.B．They like to mail books back to their owner.C．They like to keep books safe in the bookcase.D．They like to get back to the traditional style.34．What does the underlined word “virtual” in the last paragraph mean?A．Unreal.B．Effective.C．Meaningful.D．Wonderful. 35．What is the best title for the text?A．Electronic Books: A new Trend B．A Website Brings Tradition BackC．Online Reading: A fashionable trend D．A Book Group for unselfish people第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

He also worked hard to make life better for Aboriginal people.David Unaipon was born in South Australia, in1872. As a young man, he loved to read and was interested in science and music.He thought a lot about new ways to fix engineering problems. Between the years1909 and 1944, Unaipon made nine important inventions. He also made drawingsfor a helicopter design. He got the idea from the Australian boomerang and the way it moved through the air. This happened in 1914,before we had helicopters.Unaipon lived most of his life in Adelaide andworked for the Aborigines’ Friends’ Association. He worked and travelled aroundsoutheastern Australia for fifty years. Sometimes, while travelling from townto town, he was told he couldn’t sta y in a hotel because he was black, so heunderstood the problems of racism .In 1925, Unaipon became the first Aboriginalwriter to be published.

Purchasebirdseed that is very light in color. To color the birdseed, pour it into abowl and then add food coloring that you can purchase from the store. Mix themup well with a spoon and continue to add coloring until all the seed iscolored. You should sample at least a few colors and have one feeder with seedthat has not been colored—this is called the control and it will give yousomething to compare your results to. Now just hang them up outside in the samelocation, and wait for your featheredfriends to show up. This works best in an area where birds are used tofeeding from a feeder—it can take birds over a week to find new feeders.Observe your bird feeders whenever possible, and keep track of how much seed is in each bird feeder each day. Aruler is helpful for this. You might also want to take pictures of the feedersand keep track of what kind of birds visit each feeder. Over time, you should be able to see if one color of seed gets eaten more thanothers.Onceyour experiment is done, you will be able to go backto your hypothesis and see if it is corre ct. Remember, it’s not bad if yourhypothesis was wrong. The main thing is that you’ve learned something from yourexperiment, and hopefully you had some fundoing it.（1）What’s the purpose of this experiment?A . To see what color birds like most.B .
