So while I was taking pictures, Maia, wanting to prove her 18 as anassistant, began interviewing a couple in the same ship. Unable to spell words, she 19 their answers in crayon. Then when we sat together at lunch, my daughter 20 the kids’ meal and requested the salmon (三文鱼). She explained that kids’ meals might not always be 21 during travel, so her food 22 was “try everything.” That trip proved Maia as such an easy travel 23 .When she was six, we flew to the Riviera Maya in Mexico. I was impressed by how 24 fearless she was when we dived along a reef(礁石). And I was 25 by how she cleverly worked out that she could order chocolate cake from room 26 alone. But it was on the 27 home, when my glued-to-my-arm kid said it was okay that the airline didn’t 28 us together, that I realized how much travel was 29 her. It helped her become more 30 .As Mai a grew older, travel continued to 31 her life. We explored the Amazon rainforest, where she learned the importance of 32 our planet. We visited famous 33 in China , where she developed a deep appreciation in its rich cultures and long history. And we 34 at an orphanage (孤儿院) in Africa, where she learned the meaning of love and care.Travel has also helped Maia develop important life 35 such as independence, problem-solving, and communication.

Here are some steps to follow when preparing for the perfect video interview.Step 1: Start with the basicsBefore your interview, find out what platform or application the school uses for video interviews, and make sure that you know how to operate it.You need to set up a clear and focused interview environment. You also need a strong internet connection.Step 2: Get prepped (做好准备)Once the interview begins, resist the urge to watch yourself, and make sure you are looking at the camera as much as possible. Try to anticipate the questions that they will ask you. Interview questions all boil down to three basic categories:Tell us about yourself.What do you bring to our program/why should we admit you?Do you have any questions about the school?Before the interview, prepare at least two to three minutes on each of these topics.Step 3: PracticePractice your answers with a friend or mentor. Get them to ask you questions and answerthem over video. If possible, work with a person who is fluent in the language of your interviewers, and get them to give you notes and comments about pronunciation or presentation.Step 4: Don’t just interview... converseInterviews are about getting to know you as a person and how well you can interact with others. Though you may have extensive notes, try to act natural - do not read directly from any prepared statements, and don’t memorize answers to repeat. Listening is just as critical as speaking in this situation, too. Make sure you understand the question that is posed to you and ask an interviewer to repeat it or expand upon it if you feel you are confused.36．In preparing for the perfect video interview, you need to ________.A．have quick access to the Internet B．know how to operate the interviewC．fill out an application on the platform D．find a suitable environment for the interview 37．Once the interview begins, what should you keep in mind?A．Keeping quiet unless asked to talk.B．Making eye contact as much as possible.C．Expecting the questions that are often asked.D．Preparing answers on some of thequestions.38．Which of the following is TRUE about Step 3?A．You should be fluent in the language of your interviewers.B．Practicing with your friend over the phone may be helpful.C．Practicing in advance may help improve your performance.D．Notes and comments from the interviewers are practical.39．When doing an interview, you ________.A．are supposed to memorize answers to repeat B．must ask the interviewers to explain the questionsC．can read prepared statements as naturally as you can D．should attach equalimportance to listening as speaking40．Who is probably the author of the passage?A．An expert in university admissions.B．A visitor to different universities abroad.C．An editor in charge of a travel magazine.D．A student applying for universities overseas.When Milla Bizzot to finished her first 24-hour obstacle race, she went shoulder to shoulderwith experienced competitors, ran 36 miles and completed hundreds of obstacles, all at the age of 9.“There are some double takes on the course, but she has been an inspiration to people who see her out there competing like that,” said Christian Bizzotto, Milla’s father and coach, who was proud of her. Milla is very fit for her age, and she proved it in completing the BattleFrog Xtreme 24-hour race in Miami.Milla also used the event to inspire other kids to be active, and show how competing in obstacle racing has helped her deal with being bullied at school. “We wanted to make her feel more empowered and make her feel that she wasn’t weak, and that changed her whole mindset,” her father said.In preparing for the 24-hour race, Milla trained 20 hours a week for 90 days, doing exercise in the gym for 4 hours every day after school.“The reactions are 90 percent good, but some are totally negative,” Christian said. “I’ve had people message me on Facebook saying I’m a child abuser, and that no 9-year-old should be doing a 24-hour race. But her own doctors were there supporting her and cheering her on. I want her to be a kid, and this is just something she really wants to do.”CrossFit and obstacle course racing have also helped Christian turn around his life. He got injured in a motorcycle accident. After he was finally able to get around without using a walker, he began his recovery by going for walks on the beach with Milla, and then began running every day.Next, he joined a CrossFit gym and enjoyed it so much that he opened his own gym to train others for events like CrossFit, BattleFrog and Spartan races. “I just wanted to create a hero that Milla could look up to,” he said.Next up for Milla is an invitation-only “Athletes Race”. Competitors also have to raise $5,000 for charity.41．Christian Bizzotto, Milla’s father and coach, ______.A．was very strict with MillaB．was satisfied with what Milla didC．lost his legs in a motorcycle accidentD．threw his walker with the help of CrossFit42．What can we learn about Milla?A．She was always bullied by her schoolmates.B．She began to run because she was physically weak.C．Her father wanted her to get benefit from the obstacle race.D．She became more confident after the 24-hour obstacle race.43．During her training for the 24-hour obstacle race, Milla most probably _________.A．had two days’ rest every weekB．was always running with her fatherC．spent over 4 hours every day of a weekD．took a hit because her father was injured44．The reactions Christian got on the Internet ______.A．told us that Milla had a hard childhoodB．showed that he was a real abuserC．encouraged Milla to challenge more difficult runsD．were mixed but what Milla did was supported by her doctors45．What Christian did after his injury was mainly to ______.A．make money to open a gymB．set a good example to MillaC．make money to raise his familyD．get recovered as soon as possibleSeveral new species of tropical birds have been found on remote islands in Indonesia. Researchers have discerned the Wakatobi sunbird, a new species that lives on the small Wakatobi Islands, located in central Indonesia. They also studied olive-backed (橄榄背的) sunbirds and black sunbirds and found that some of the birds they examined actually belonged to some previously unrecognized species.The new Wakatobi sunbird looks similar to the olive-backed sunbird, but has darker feathers, shorter wings, and a higher-toned song. Zoologists believe that because it has such short wings, it never spread beyond the tiny islands. The olive-backed sunbird, however, can fly long distances, so it was able to inhabit other locations.These discoveries were part of a long-time cooperation between scientists at Trinity College Dublin and Universitas Halu Oleo in Sulawesi, Indonesia.“Specifically, we became interested in the Wakatobi sunbird because of the work of Ernst Hartert, a German bird expert active at the beginning of the 20th century,” Fionn O Marcaigh, first author on the paper, says. “He described the Wakatobi sunbird as a population with distinctive dark feathers, but he and the rest of the scientific community eventually decided that it was only a subspecies of the widespread olive-backed sunbird. We were eager to use modern methods to put this to the test.”For their research, scientists used DNA, recordings of songs and body measurement analysis to compare the sunbirds they studied, “We used a system called integrative taxonomy, which combines data on a number of aspects of the birds, including their songs, feathers, and body structures,” O Marcaigh says. “We recorded their songs using digital recorders, measured live birds caught and released by licensed netters, and used computational statistics to analyze the differences.” The scientists also obtained genetic samples which they analyzed in the lab and they found that the patterns they found were also reflected in the birds’ DNA．“I’m excited that we’ve added to the list of known species from this wonderful part of the world,” O Marcaigh says.46．What does the underlined word “discerned” in paragraph 1 probably mean?A．Overestimated.B．Imagined.C．Overlooked.D．Identified. 47．How does the Wakatobi sunbird differ from the olive-backed sunbird?A．It has colorful wings.B．It flies shorter distances.C．It lives throughout Indonesia.D．It sings more beautiful songs.48．What can we know about Ernst Hartert?A．He is a scientist from Universitas Halu Oleo.B．He still takes an active part in bird research.C．He is the first scientist to use DNA to study birds.D．He inspired the researchers’ interest in the Wakatobi sunbird.49．Why did O Marcaigh study the Wakatobi sunbird?A．To determine its category.B．To investigate its habitat and behavior.C．To analyze its genetic makeup.D．To continue the study of Ernst Hartert. 50．Which aspect of the research does paragraph 5 mainly talk about?A．Its methods.B．Its theories.C．Its impact.D．Its background.To put it simply, stress can be the father of growth, while a crisis can be the mother of innovation. The notion that great good can emerge from great adversity (逆境) is as old as the legend of the great phoenix (凤凰), who not only arises but soars to new heights from its own ashes.In 1598, William Shakespeare penned the play As You Like It. One of the most famous lines from that play is spoken in Act 2 Scene 1 by Duke Senior, “Sweet are the uses of adversity which, like the toad (癞蛤蟆), ugly and venomous, wears yet a precious jewel in his head.” Even 500 years ago, the potential value of adversity was recognized, not by a great healer, but by a great playwright. Can this really be the case?Fast-forward to the great silent film star Mary Pickford. She was called the most popular actress in the world in the 1910s and 1920s. Failing to continue acting with the advent of the “talkies”(movies with recorded sound), she co-founded the film company United Artists. Shifting her talents to producing and directing, she became the most powerful woman in the entertainment industry. She once noted, “You may have a fresh start any moment you choose, for this thing that we call ‘failure’ is not the falling down, but the staying down.”Rather than fear and try to avoid adversity, perhaps we should accept the inevitability (必然) of adversity and prepare for it. Indeed, positive things can emerge from adversity.Adversity reveals true opportunities for those preparing to take advantage. Dr. John Krumboltz’s happenstance theory states that career and life development is best fostered by preparing for opportunities that you may not know even exist in the current moment. Numerous unpredictable factors are potentially shaping the future. These include the crises adversity brings.In Friedrich Nietzsche’s book, Behold the Man, the German philosopher writes that a person who has “turned out well” could be recognized by the ability to take advantage of and prosper from adversity, just as he wrote before, “What does not kill him makes him stronger.”So, the next time adversity enters your life, will you run from it, or will you embrace it and use it as a step ping stone to greater happiness and success?51．Why does the author quote the line from Shakespeare’s play?A．To emphasize the great wisdom of Shakespeare.B．To highlight the beauty of Shakespeare’s language.C．To challenge the conventional belief regarding adversity.D．To show the long-standing recognition of adversity’s value.52．What is conveyed through Mary Pickford’s story?A．Fame can block one’s achievements.B．Strong determination overcomes adversity.C．Accepting adversity results in positive outcomes.D．Courage in the face of challenges leads to success.53．What is the idea behind Krumboltz’s happenstance theory?A．Embracing uncertainty.B．Managing life’s challenges.C．Seizing hidden opportunities.D．Focusing on personal growth.54．What is the author’s attitude towards adversity?A．Cautious.B．Favorable.C．Neutral.D．Doubtful. 55．What does the passage mainly talk about?A．Finding value and opportunity in facing adversity.B．Stress as the primary cause of growth and innovation.C．How to avoid adversity and negative experiences in life.D．Historical figures who failed to overcome adversity effectively.阅读下面短文，并根据题目要求用英语回答问题(请注意问题后的字数要求)。

山东省新泰市第一中学（实验部）2023-2024学年高三上学期第二次月考英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读选择devoted decades of research to understanding the unique mechanisms(机制)that the naked mole rats use to protect themselves against aging and diseases.The researchers discovered that HMW-HA is one mechanism responsible for the rats’unusual resistance to cancer. Compared to mice and humans,naked mole rats have about ten times more HMW-HA in their bodies.When the researchers removed HMW-HA from the rat cells,the cells were more likely to form tumors(肿瘤).“Our study provides a proof of principle that unique longevity mechanisms that evolved in long-lived mammals can be exported to improve the lifespans of other mammals,”says Gorbunova.The Rochester researchers report in a study published in Nature that they successfully transferred a gene responsible for making HMW-HA from a naked mole rat to mice.This led to improved health and an approximate4.4percent increase in the median lifespan for the mice.By introducing a specific gene responsible for enhanced cellular repair and protection into mice,the researchers have opened exciting possibilities for unlocking the secrets of aging and extending human lifespan.“It took us10years from the discovery of HMW-HA in the naked mole rat to showing that HMW-HA improves health in mice,”Gorbunova says.“Our next goal is to transfer this benefit to humans.”They believe they can accomplish this through two routes:either by slowing down the degradation of HMW-HA or by enhancing HMW-HA synthesis.“We hope that our findings will provide the first,but not the last,example of how longevity adaptations from a long-lived species can be adapted to benefit human longevity and health.”Seluanov says. 12．What does paragraph2mainly talk about?A．The beneficial effects of HMW-HA on humans.B．The comparison between mice and humans in longevity.C．The process of transferring genes producing HMW-HA．D．The discovery of a unique mechanism for cancer resistance.13．What can we learn about the Rochester researchers?A．They have uncovered the secrets of humans.B．They managed to end the weakening of HMW-HA．C．They are planning to export longevity genes to humans.D．They have spent10years trying to discover HMW-HA．14．What does Seluanov think of the prospect of extending human lifespan?C．Living in a van can often be more cost-effective.D．They’ll find a sense of freedom of constant exploration.E．The natural world becomes an essential part of your daily lifeF．Better yet,it offers a way to reconnect with the essence of living.G．The concept of van life offers benefits beyond just a change of scenery.二、完形填空26．A．check B．maintain C．sacrifice D．arrange 27．A．large B．wild C．entire D．local 28．A．confusion B．anger C．fright D．shock 29．A．tricked B．persuaded C．forced D．scared 30．A．never B．unexpectedly C．further D．dramatically 31．A．happy B．curious C．cautious D．innovative 32．A．yell at B．interact with C．make fun of D．look up to 33．A．change B．post C．replace D．criticize 34．A．debate B．theft C．fight D．instance. 35．A．practical B．extraordinary C．temporary D．preventive四、书信写作46．假如你是李华，你的外国朋友Albert想了解中国高中生对于是否需要开设学生职业生涯规划(career planning)课程的想法，请你写一封信给他，内容包括：1.你的观点；2.你的理由；3.你的建议。

2023-2024学年新疆乌鲁木齐市米东区三校联考 2024届高三下学期2月月考 英语试卷(含答案)
乌鲁木齐市米东区三校联考高三月考英语试题总分120分考试时间120分钟第一部分：阅读（共两节，满分50分）（一）阅读理解（共37.5分）English is the most widely used language in the history of our planet. One in every seven human beings can speak it. More than half of the world’s books and three quarters of international mail are in English. Of all languages, English has the largest vocabulary — perhaps as many as two million words.However, let’s face it: English is a crazy language. There is no egg in an eggplant, neither pine nor apple in a pineapple and no ham in a hamburger. Sweetmeats are candy, while sweetbreads, which aren’t sweet, are meat.We take English for granted. But when we explore its paradoxes, we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square, public bathrooms have no baths in them.And why is it that a writer writes, but fingers don’t fing, grocers don’t groce, and hammers don’t ham If the plural of tooth is teeth, shouldn’t the plural of booth be beeth One goose, two geese — so one moose, two meeseHow can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise manand a wise guy are opposites How can overlook and oversee be opposites, while quite a lot and quite a few are alike How can the weather be hot as hell one day and cold as hell the nextEnglish was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects the creativity of human beings. That’s why, when stars are out, they are visible; but when the lights are out, they are invisible. And why, when I wind up my watch, I start it; but when I ____ this essay, I end it. 1．According to the passage __________.A．pineapples are the apples on the pine treeB．there should be an egg in an eggplantC．sweetmeats and sweetbreads are different thingsD．boxing rings should be round2．The underlined words “wind up” in the last paragraph m aybe means “__________”.A．blow B．finish C．get hurt D．roll up3．Through the many paradoxes in the English language, the writer wants to show that human beings are ____________.A．lazy B．crazy C．clever D．dullIt should be one of the main goals in today society to reduce plastic consumption. Though many believe recycling will solve the problem, and continue using plastic, it’s actually the opposite. In 2013, 254 million tons of trash was produced in the U.S. alone, and only around 30% wasrecycled. This means the rest ended up in a landfill and will stay there for up to 1000 years.Recently, China has stopped importing trash from all over the world. Before this, over 30% of the world’s waste would end up in China, causing a popular belief that Asian countries are those responsible for creating the majority of the waste in the world. Now, Asian countries, including Vietnam and Thailand, are looking for new ideas to avoid plastic. One of those ideas was a new, eco-friendly way to pack their goods by avoiding plastic packaging.One of Perfect Homes Chiangmai’s team members noticed a creative way to reduce plastic that a supermarket called Rimping Supermarket was using and decided to take photos of their shelves with his phone. Little did he know that people all around the world would absolutely love this idea. “I just popped in to get a few items while we were waiting to sign some contracts (合同) with our lawyer, who was delayed. When I noticed the vegetables wrapped in banana leaves and simply liked the idea, I took a few pictures and posted them online.” he said.With more than 3.5 million views and over 17 thousand shares, the idea became something people can encourage more supermarkets to implement (贯彻).Some have noticed that not everything on the shelves is completely plastic-free, to which the supermarket responded that they are takingone step at a time, but it’s not that easy. Many products come to the supermarkets pre-packaged and many companies are interested in wrapping their produce in plastic since it is the cheapest and the easiest option.It’s now up to the shoppers to show the supermarket which they prefer. If everyone opts for the banana leaf packaging, they will probably stop stocking the items in plastic.4．What does the underlined phrase “opts for” in the last paragraph probably meanA．Doubts. B．Discusses. C．Dislikes. D．Chooses.5．What is the best title of the passageA．Leaf Packaging Goes Viral (走红)B．Reducing Plastic ConsumptionC．Recycling Avoids Plastic PackagingD．A Good Option Makes A DifferenceSatellite, hunger, stars, kerosene lamps(煤油灯), the Milky Way, the Cultural Revolution’s factional civil wars, a light-year, the flood… these seemingly unconnected things combined together and formed the early part of my life, which shaped the science fiction I write today.As a science fiction writer who began as a fan, I do not use my fiction as a way to criticize the reality of the present. I feel that the greatest appeal of science fiction is the creation of numerous imaginary worlds outsideof reality. I’ve always felt that the greatest and most beautiful stories were told by science. They are far more magnificent, grand, involved, profound, thrilling, strange, terrifying, mysterious, and even emotional. Only, these wonderful stories are locked in cold equations(方程式) that most do not know how to read.There’s a strange contradiction: On Earth, mankind can step onto another continent, and destroy the civilizations through war and disease. But when they look at the stars, they turn emotional and believe that if aliens exist, they must be friendly and kind.I think it should be the opposite: Let’s turn the kindness we show toward the stars to mankind and build up trust and understanding between different peoples and civilizations. But for the universe outside the solar system, we should be cautious. For a fragile civilization like ours, this is the most responsible path.As a fan of science fiction, a considerable part of the science fiction I’ve read comes from America. The fact that American readers can now enjoy my book makes me both pleased and excited. Science fiction describes event of interest to all of humanity. It often describes a day when humanity will form a harmonious whole and I believe the arrival of such a day need not wait for the appearance of aliens.Except from “Author’s Postscript for the American Edition of TheThree-Body Problem”6．What shaped the author’s present worksA．His early life experiences. B．Unconnected daily objects. C．American science fictions. D．The adventures in his imagination. 7．Which aspect of science fiction appeals to the authors most A．The appearance of aliens.B．The way to criticize present reality.C．The creation of numerous imaginary worlds.D．The wonderful stories combined with equations.8．What is the author’s attitude to human’s idea about aliens A．Supportive. B．Negative.C．Uncertain. D．Indifferent.9．What is the text mainly aboutA．The author’s achievements in science fiction.B．Themes and points of view of the author’s works.C．People’s knowledge and misundersta nding about the universe. D．The author’s devotion to science fiction and concern for mankind.（二）七选五（共12.5分）British English and American English are almost the same. ___10___ The first difference between British and American English is in vocabulary. Almost all of the words used in British English and American English are exactly the same. ___11___ For example, Americans would say “apartment”, but the British would say “flat” to talk about the placewhere they live. In addition to some common words, many idiomatic (惯用的) expressions are different. In England people might say “I’ll ring you up tonight”, but in the US, people might say “I’ll call you up tonight”. The second difference between British and American English is in pronunciation. The main difference in pronunciation lies in the vowels. ___12___ But most of the time, the British and Americans do understand each other’s pronunciation because most of the sounds of the two dialects are the same.The third difference is very small. ___13___ A few types of words are spelled differently in British and American English. The most common example is in a word like “center”. In British English, this word would be spelled C-E-N-T-R-E, while in American English the same word would be spelled C-E-N-T-E-R.___14___ The British may say “Have you got … ” while Americans prefer “Do you have … ” An American might say “my friend just arrived”, but a British would say “my friend has just arrived”.A．This is the difference in spelling.B．There are a few differences in grammar, too.C．But there are some differences between them.D．Only a very small number of words are used differently.E．Both languages have a slightly different structure of telling the time. F．The English language was introduced to America in the early 17century.G．Sometimes, Americans and the British don’t understand each other’s pronunciation.第二部分：语言运用（共两节，满分30分）（一）完形填空（共15分）Each year, my family and I leave our home in New Jersey and drive two hours to Connecticut.

And I am one of them. Take my family’s last vacation. It was my six-yearold son’s winter break from school, and we were heading home from Fort Lauderdale after a week long trip. The flight was overbooked, and Delta, the airline, offered us $400 per person in credits to give up our seats and leave the next day．I had meetings in New York, so I had to get back. But that didn’t mean my husband and my son couldn’t stay. I took my nine-monthold and took off for home．The next day, my husband and son were offered more credits to take an even later flight. Yes, I encouraged — okay, ordered — them to wait it out at the airport, to “earn” more Delta Dollars. Our total take: $1,600．Not bad, huh?Now some people may think I’m a bad mother and not such a great wife either. But as a bigtime bargain hunter, I know the value of a dollar. And these days, a good deal is something few of us can afford to pass up．I’ve made a living looking for the best deals and exposing（揭露）the worst tricks.

The presence of these currents can be hidden by the wild movements of the surrounding waves. This means that as well as carrying seaweed and pieces of materials quickly out to sea, they can rapidly sweep away even the strongest swimmers. Around 80 percent of all lifeguard rescues are caused by powerful rip currents pulling a swimmer into danger.If you find yourself being pulled out to sea by an unsuspected rip current, you should remain calm, focus on staying afloat and, if you can, swim parallel to the shore. Your instincts might tell you to swim towards land, as this is where you’re aiming to get to, but the current will be too strong to swim against. Instead, aim to move across the current and into slower flowing water next to it. A rip current may only pull you just past the breaking waves, but in some cases they can take you hundreds of metres offshore. The strength of currents can be hard to predict, so it’s safest to stay on lifeguarded beaches and not to swim if you see any indication of a rip current.8．Understanding rip currents can help _________.A．prevent you from swimming into dangerB．transport water out into the ocean depthsC．clear away seaweed and pieces of materialsD．warn lifeguards against rescue in rip currents9．What should one do when caught in a rip current?A．Swim towards the beach.B．Swim parallel to the shore.C．Swim against the current.D．Swim away from land.10．The second illustration( see figure 2) probably explains _________.A．difference between various currents B．two types of zones off shoreC．an ideal route to surf in safety D．how rip currents form11．Which of the following is the path of a rip current?A．1000 metres off the shore beyond “HEAD”.B．The channel through the gap in a sandbar.C．Over the narrow stretch of a sandbar.D．The passage across the shoreline.Philosophers have a bad reputation for expressing themselves in a dry and boring way. The ideals for most philosophical writing are precision, clarity, and the sort of conceptual analysis that leaves no hair un-split.There is nothing wrong with clarity, precision, and the like — but this isn’t the only way to do philosophy. Outside academic journals, abstract philosophical ideas are often expressed through literature, cinema, and song. There’s nothing that grabs attention like a good story, and there are some great philosophical stories that delight and engage, rather than putting the reader to sleep.One of the great things about this is that, unlike formal philosophy, which tries to be very clear, stories don’t wear their meanings on their sleeve — they require interpretation, and often express conflicting ideas for the reader to wrestle with.Consider what philosophers call the metaphysics (形而上学) of race — an area of philosophy that explorers the question of whether or not race is real. There are three main positions that you can take on these questions. You might think that a person’s race is written in their genes (a position known as “biological realism”). Or you might think of race as socially real, like days of the week or currencies (“social constructionism”). Finally, you might think that races are unreal — that they’re more like leprechauns (一种魔法精灵) than they are like Thursdays or dollars (“anti-realism”).A great example of a story with social constructionist taking on race is George Schuyler’s novel Black No More. In the book, a Black scientist named Crookman invents a procedure that makes Black people visually indistinguishable from Whites. Thousands of African Americans flock to Crookman’s Black No More clinics and pay him their hard-earned cash to undergo the procedure. White racists can no longer distinguish those people who are “really” White from thosewho merely appear to be White. In a final episode, Crookman discovers that new Whites are actually a whiter shade of pale than those who were born that way, which kicks off a trend of sunbathing to darken one’s skin-darkening it so as to look more While.Philosophically rich stories like this bring more technical works to life. They are stories to think with.12．What does the author think of philosophical stories?A．The meaning behind is very obvious.B．They are extremely precise and formal.C．They often cause conflicts among readers.D．They are engaging and inspire critical thinking.13．Which category might “Christmas” fall into according to paragraph 4?A．Social constructionism.B．Anti-realism.C．Biological realism.D．Literary realism.14．What is Black No More in paragraph 5 mainly about?A．Racial issues caused by skin colors.B．A society view on race and self-image.C．Black people accepted by the white society.D．The origin of sun bathing among white people.15．What is the best title of the text?A．Stories Made Easy B．Stories to Think withC．Positions in Philosophy D．Nature of Philosophical WritingThere has been a very serious decline in the numbers of shallow-water fish as a result of overfishing. People still want to eat fish, so the fishing industry must look at other sources, especially the deep waters of the Atlantic. 16Conservation measures will have to be put in place if these deep-sea fish are to survive. Research on five such species shows that numbers have declined by between 87 percent and 98 percent. 17 Many species could well disappear completely if the present trend continues. These are species that have been swimming in our oceans for hundreds of millions of years.The problem is emphasized by the fact that the decline in numbers happened in less thantwenty years. Deep-sea fish take a long time to reproduce and normally live for many years.18 The average size of such fish also declined, with one species showing a 57 percent decline in average size. This is of particular concern, as large fish tend to produce more offspring than small ones.19 The deep-sea species have been caught as if they were the fast-breeding (快速繁殖) fish like sardine and herring. It is like killing elephants as if they reproduced at the same rate as rabbits.The damage done by overfishing goes beyond the sea environment. Millions of people make a living in the fishing industry. 20 Measures must be taken to not only conserve ecosystems, but also sustain livelihoods and ensure food security.A．Billions of people rely on fish for protein.B．Many people now choose not to eat deep-sea fish.C．Unfortunately, their reproduction rate is very low.D．This puts them in the category of “critically endangered”.E．None of these facts has been taken into account by the fishing industry.F．Overfishing is a major cause of decline in populations of ocean wildlife.G．This has resulted in a sharp decline in the numbers of many of the species caught.二、完形填空When I was young, my mom would take me on Transportation Days. It went like this: You can’t take any 21 of transportation more than once. We would start from home, walking two blocks to the subway. We’d take the subway into the city center, then 22 a bus, and then maybe the tram. At the end of the day, Mom’s friend gave us a ride home — our 23 car ride of the day.On Transportation Days, we might stop for lunch on Chestnut Street or buy a new book or toy, but the transportation was the 24 .

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