But while for me they represent treasured memories, to others they are more often than not simply a collection of boring, badly composed, out-of-focus pictures. So this year I decided to do something about this by booking myself on a trip to Rome which included photography lessons.The first time I went to Rome, I remember thinking that it was a fantastic place for photographers with a wonderful photo opportunity lying around every corner. Yet by myself I didn't have a clue how to go about getting some good shots. Added to this was the fact that there were crowds of tourists everywhere, blocking all the best views. But this second time things were different. Antonio, my photography tutor, was on hand to give expert advice every step of the way. The first thing Antonio told our group was that the secret to creating a good photographic image rather than just a snapshot(快照)is to first take a long look at what you want to photograph. Our first port of call was Piazza Navona, where Antonio gave us advice about how to photograph the Fountain of Neptune. For the next couple of hours, we wandered around the historic center visiting many of Rome's architectural highlights. I didn't get at all tired, even though I was on my feet for such a long time. And I felt that I was really able to appreciate the sights as I had to look at each one so carefully in order to get good pictures. It felt like a whole new world had opened up to me.I learnt an incredible amount over the next two days, as well as having a thoroughly enjoyable time in one of the world's most beautiful cities. Maybe my friends and family will show a little more enthusiasm when I show them my holiday snaps from now on!4、What motivated the author to book a photography trip to Rome?A. Her interest in trying out a new hobby.B.Her desire to explore the city of Rome.C.Her dissatisfaction with her photography skills.D. Her hope of finding inspiration for her photography.5、Which words can best describe the author's first experience in Rome?A.Confusing and disappointing.fortable and uneventful.C. Fantastic and adventurous.D.Relaxing and interesting.6、What did Antonio suggest concerning photography in Rome?A.Taking multiple snapshots of each subject.B.Observing the subject before taking a photo.C. Avoiding crowded areas for better pictures.D.Looking at surroundings to unlock their secrets.7、How did the author benefit from her photography tour of Rome?A.She began to see things in a new light.B.She understood her friends and family better.C. She was able to appreciate beautiful photos.D. She became more enthusiastic about snapshots.Small sensors powered only by sunlight could float (漂浮) in the sky forever and make weather-related measurements.Flat objects with two sides can be kept up in the air by what is called photophoresis (光泳现象).This occurs when one of the sides absorbs lots of light and the other very little, creating a difference in temperature. Just like how temperature differences in the atmosphere cause winds, this difference makes molecules(分子) move in such a way as to create a lifting force on the object.Benjamin Schafer at Harvard University and his coworkers designed a device that could use photophoresis to lift small weather sensors into the air and wouldn't need motors or batteries to keep up the height.Their device consists of two discs. Each disc is only 100 nanometers thick --- one-thousandth the thickness of a sheet of paper --- and very small holes cover nearly half of the surface, making it very lightweight and easy for heat to flow through it. To maximize the lifting forces on the device, the team decided to cover the top disc with a coating that lets visible but not infrared light (红外线) pass through it, while a coating on the bottom disc did the opposite. This would produce enough lift to keep the device in the stratosphere(平流层) and it would never fall to Earth. The researchers calculated that the device could carry a 300-milligram load of equipment, such as temperature and pressure sensors.Schafer and his coworkers suggest a weather balloon could deliver hundreds of these devices to the stratosphere where they could measure stratospheric winds, which are usefulto Mars, where they could collect data abour the Martian atmosphere.Karen Aplin at the University of Bristol, UK, says that the device might be helpful for solar geoengineering."However, the device's 300-milligram mass allowance (限额) may challenge its practicality. Many instruments would have to be powered by solar cells and adding those, together with other elements, could limit how many more instruments can be added,"she says.8、What makes photophoresis happen?A.Wind force.B.Molecule difference.C. Object shapes.D.Temperature difference.9、How did the designers give the device the strongest lifting force?A.By making holes all over it.B.By coating its discs in the opposite way.C.By increasing its surface area.D.By sending it to the stratosphere.10、What does the underlined word "viable" in paragraph 5 mean?A.Practical.B.Distant.C.Legal.D.Accurate.11、What does Karen Aplin imply about the device?A. Its high costs challenge its practicality.B. It is better than battery-powered sensors.C. It can hardly resist extreme temperatures.D. Its mass allowance may limit its application.As an ecologist and consultant, I have been involved with a range of ecosystem restoration(修复) projects. It is clear to me, as it will no doubt be clear to readers, that ecosystem restoration is crucial. As we seek to ease and adapt to climate change, and work to reverse (逆转) biodiversity losses, restoration is an important part of the global solution. But while it is widely understood that ecosystem restoration is the right thing to do, there is far less understanding about what exactly it means, and how it is to be achieved.One of the most obvious misunderstandings about ecosystem restoration is that it is all about action, especially planting trees. It is important to understand that forest and woodland ecosystems are not the only crucial environments to restore. Ecosystem restoration consists of a huge range of different systems from farmland soils and grassland systems to our seas andoceans.Ecosystem restoration is not always about actively intervene (干预). In many instances, passive intervention can be just as effective, if not more so, than active. This involves simply letting nature take the reins(掌管). But there are situations in which humans have damaged the environment to such a degree that natural restoration is impossible. This is when carefully designed action is required.Another key thing to remember is that we cannot succeed in ecosystem restoration without local people's involvement or, ideally, their leadership. When a community feels a sense of belonging and a deep connection with the land, this provides a firm foundation for future conservation and restoration work.While I dislike taking an overly human-centered view, environmental issues cannot be separated in our complex modern world from socio-economic ones. We need to look at people and the planet as a whole and appreciate the complex web of human life and its interaction with the natural world in order to form practical restoration solutions. It is only when we consider the natural environment and human society as interconnected that we can really continue to make progress.12、Which shows the proper understanding of ecosystem restoration?A. Community-led efforts should be reduced.B. Ecosystem restoration involves a variety of systems.C. Direct action on forest ecosystems should be avoided.D.The more trees we plant, the better the ecosystems will be.13、In what case is active intervention a must?A.Nature fails to restore itself to health.B.The cost of passive intervention is high.C. A large population relies on natural resources.D. Active intervention can improve the local economy.14、According to the last paragraph, what should be done to make practical restoration plans?A. Focusing on the interests of humans.B. Making nature conservation a top priority.C. Conducting a survey of local natural resources.D. Taking both social factors and nature into account.15、What is mainly talked about in the text?A.How people can benefit from ecosystem restoration.B.What challenge people face in ecosystem restoration.C.Why ecosystem restoration becomes increasingly urgent.D. How we can repair damaged ecosystems more effectively.二、七选五16、How to Handle an Argument with Your Family MembersWe've all been there. A relaxed evening with our family members. A lot of laughing. And then, as if someone had sat on the TV remote and changed the channel, the mood shifts. No more warmth. Suddenly there's shouting, a ping-pong of accusations(指责), deadly stares, and hostility(敌意) streaming from eyes like red laser pointers. Having a conflict with your family members is frustrating, and you may feel sad and depressed. ①________ Do remember that as much as it might feel this way, you're not in a court of law with your family members. ②________ .It is to restore kindness and connection. Think of it this way —if somebody wins, both parties lose.Do try to be an advocate of others'feelings. ③________ try to stand in the shoes of your family members. Try to understand their immature ways.④________ ,This might frighten your family members, making them feel accused and in turn, act defensively. Example:"I was on the phone with my sister and then suddenly you started acting like crazy out of the blue."Talk about the way you felt instead. Example:"I was on the phone with my sister and then I suddenly felt scared when I saw you looking at me like I was in trouble."Don't try to explain yourself. You often want to explain yourself when having conflicts with your family members, but you don't have time. You're being cut off and attacked again. ⑤________.The more you talk, the less your family members seem to understand and the further away you get from an agreement.A. If you are looking for a new relationshipB. Don't attempt to prove yourself in the face of your loved onesC. The point of an argument isn't to prove the others guilty or to winD. Rather than going in circles about what you think and how you feelE. Each accusation strikes deeper and deeper into your sense of justiceF. Don't talk about what happened as though you're simply stating the factsG. Here are the do's and don'ts when you are arguing with your family members三、完形填空（15空）You never know when a cold winter day is going to turn into something warm and sunny.My beach walk was inspired by the weather we'd been having in New York, whichweekends spent relaxing in a beach chair and enjoying the sun.Those days were a long way off.

浙江省名校2023-2024学年高二上学期12月阶段性联考英语试卷(含答案)
浙江省名校2023-2024学年高二上学期12月阶段性联考英语试卷学校：___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解WHEN CHOCOLATE BECOMES A WORK OF ART!Chocolate is delicious, we all know that. But it isn’t just for eating, as these chocolate works of art clearly show.Chocolate MailboxIn 2011, chocolate company Godiva made a chocolate mailbox with white truffle hearts to celebrate Valentine’s Day. The mailbox was on display at its shop on Fifth Avenue in New York City. Customers could post their love letters there, and the company would stamp and mail them for free during the three weeks leading up to Valentine’s Day.Chocolate CouchIn 2009, chocolate company Galaxy used 250 kg of their own chocolate to make a chocolate couch. The couch was a part of their “Irresistible Reads” campaign, which was designed to promote reading. It was put on display in Victoria Embankment Gardens in London. Photos were taken of British TV actress Emilia Fox sitting on the couch reading a book.Chocolate Hotel SuiteIn 2011, French chocolatier Patrick Roger worked with fashion icon Karl Lagerfeld. The room, at the La Reserve hotel in Paris, had a chocolate carpet, chocolate bed and chocolate nightstand full of chocolate books. Sitting on the bed was a chocolate man eating a Magnum ice cream.Chocolate TreeIn 2012, Patrick Roger made a five-metre tree from five tons of chocolate. The sculpture, which was at Roger’s shop in Paris, even had chocolate monkeys hanging from chocolate branches. Roger wanted to raise awareness of the problems facing African wildlife. 1．How much chocolate was needed to make a Chocolate Couch according to the passage?A. 600 kgB. 250 kgC. 5 tons.D. 12 meters.2．Which of the following appeals to wildlife protectors most?A. Chocolate Wall.B. Chocolate Hotel Suite.C. Chocolate Tree.D. Chocolate Mailbox.3．In which column of a newspaper can the passage be found?A. SportsB. Science.C. Culture.D. Fashion.Losing an eye might be an unthinkable thing, especially for a young woman, but not for Xintong. She chose to become an ocularist (义眼师) who makes prosthetic eyes (义眼) for herself and people in the same situation to help them get back their confidence. Xintong is the name that she gave to herself – which she prefers people to call her instead of her real name –because “xintong” in Chinese sounds like “new pupils”.Nearly 10 years after losing her right eye in a car accident, 28-year-old Xintong from Beijing transformed the hollow of her eye socket –a “flaw” she used to hide – into a fashion statement. She shared a short video online in which she wears a glowing prosthetic eye. As she waves her hand, the prosthetic eye begins to shine with red light. With another wave, the light changes to green and then purple and white.The video soon went viral on social media, with many comments praising her for being “creative”, “beautiful” and “optimistic”. But that wasn’t the case 10 years ago.“The prosthetic eye I wore at that time was torturing me,” Xintong said. “It hurt and gave me a red and swollen eye socket, and it looked so dull and fake. I was young and I wanted to look attractive.”She took matters into her own hands and began researching prosthetic eyes. Beginning in 2019, she dedicated about two years to mastering the production techniques and skills under the guidance of an ocularist. This journey led her to establish her own prosthetic eye studio, providing personalized services for those requiring them.She produces prosthetic eyes as if she is creating pieces of artwork. “The posi tion, direction, and even stroke thickness of the blood streaks on the prosthetic eyeballs matter,” the ocularist said. Sometimes she also paints special patterns according to customers’ needs: twinkling stars, cartoon characters like Cardcaptor Sakura and effects like colored contact lenses.Now when Xintong hears her customers say words such as “Finally, I can accept myself” or “Now I feel free to take selfies”, she feels deeply moved.4．Why did Xintong give the name "Xintong"to herself?A. To attract more people.B. To forget her real name.C. To look like new pupils.D. To start a brand new life.5．Why did the video gain much popularity on social media?A. The prosthetic eyes had various colors.B. She cured her hollow by waving her hand.C. Many comments praised her for her beauty.D. She changed a “flaw” into a fashionable state.6．What can we learn about Xintong from paragraph 5?A. She failed to set up her own prosthetic eye studio.B. She began researching prosthetic eyes on her own.C. She was able to offer some specific services on prosthetic eyes.D. She paid no attention to grasping the production techniques and skills.7．What can be inferred from the passage?A. Xintong is a woman with determination and creativity.B. Becoming an ocularist helped Xintong gain much profit.C. Xintong lost all her hopes in her life after the car accident.D. Many customers are deeply moved by Xintong’s artworksPeople’s likelihood of being vegetarian seems to be influenced by several genetic variants, and two of the three most important genes found so far appear to be involved in fat metabolism (新陈代谢).Genetic factors are known to influence aspects of diet, such as whether people like coffee or alcohol. To see if genes also affect vegetarianism, Nabeel Yaseen at Northwestern University in Chicago and his team turned to data on about 5300 strict vegetarians and 330,000 meat eaters. They found that three gene variants were more common in vegetarians. Two, called NPC1 and RMC1, are involved in the transport and metabolism of cholesterol and other fatty molecules. The third gene, called RIOK3, has various functions, including affecting the immune system.It isn’t known how these genes may relate to vegetarianism. But one of the chief differences between animal-based foods and plant-based ones is the chemical make-up of their fats or oils, collectively known as lipids (油脂). Yaseen conclude that some people may function better on a vegetarian diet because they are more able to synthesize (合成) certain lipid molecules that are present in meat.Some people who try vegetarianism but give up may be doing so because their body becomes deficient in the essential lipids, says Yaseen. “They decide that this diet is not for them or gradually go back into an omnivore (杂食) diet. Some people might think they just don’t have the willpower.”Another possibility is that the apparently vegetarianism-promoting gene variants affect people’s taste. “Alot of information about genes is yet to be known,” Yaseen says.Richard McIlwain at the UK Vegetarian Society says the number of vegetarians has almost doubled in the UK between 2012 and 2019. “That would seem to suggest something other than potential genetic factors are at play,” he says. “People go vegetarian because, more and m ore, they are concerned about climate, about animal welfare or about their health,” he says, which are more important determinants than physiological factors.8．What's the effect of RIOK3?A. To affect the metabolism of cholesterol.B. To influence the immune system.C. To shift cholesterol and fatty molecules.D. To affect the diet of vegetarianism.9．According to Yaseen’s study. who are more likely to produce lipid molecules appearing in meat?A. Omnivores.B. Meat-eatersC. Vegetarians.D. Weight-losers. 10．What does the underline word “deficient” in paragraph 4 mean?A. lacking.B. limited.C. rich.D. enough.11．Which of the following might Richard agree most?A. Genetic factors are the decisive reasons for being a vegetarian.B. The popularity of vegetarianism has been on a sharp increase globally.C. People choose to be a vegetarian mainly for ethical and health concerns.D. Some people fail to be a vegetarian because they tend to give up halfway.The rainforests are alive with the sound of animals. Besides the pleasure of the din, it is also useful to ecologists. If you want to measure the biodiversity of a piece of land, listening out for animal calls is much easier than digging about in the undergrowth looking for tracks. Bu t such “bio-acoustic analysis” is still time-consuming, and it requires an expert pair of ears.In a paper published on October 17th in Nature Communications, a group of researchers led by Jörg Müller, an ecologist at the University of Würzburg, describe a better way: have a computer do the job. Smartphone apps already exist that will identify birds, bats or mammals simply by listening to the sounds they make. Their idea was to apply the principle to conservation work.The researchers took recordings from across 43 sites in the Ecuadorean rainforest. Sound recordings were taken four times every hour, over two weeks. The various calls wereidentified manually by an expert, and then used to construct a list of the species present. As expected, the longer the land had been free from agricultural activity, the greater the biodiversity it hosted.Then it was the computer’s turn. The researchers fed their recordings to artificial-intelligence models that had been trained, using sound samples from elsewhere in Ecuador, to identify 75 bird species from their calls. “We found that the AI tools could identify the sounds as well as the experts,” says Dr Müller.Of course, not everything in a rainforest makes a noise. Dr Müller and his colleagues used light-traps to capture night-flying insects, and DNA analysis to identify them. Reassuringly, they found that the diversity of noisy animals was a reliable proxy (指标) for the diversity of the quieter ones, too.The results may have relevance outside ecology departments, too. Under pressure from their customers, firms such as L’Oreal, a make-up company, and Shell, an oil firm, have been spending money on forest restoration projects around the world. Dr Müller hopes that an automated approach to checking on the results could help monitor such efforts, and give a standardized way to measure whether they are working as well as their sponsors say 12．Which of the following best describes Dr Muller's method of bio-acoustic analysis?A. Costly.B. Impractical.C. High-tech.D. Labor-consuming. 13．What can we learn from the research of Dr Muller?A. The species in the rain forests have increased.B. Agricultural activity negatively influenced the richness in species.C. There are more reliable sound recordings in Ecuadorean rainforest.D. Trained AI models can identify as many kinds of sounds as experts.14．Why did the Dr Muller and his colleagues do the survey in Paragraph 5?A. To figure out the species of quieter animals.B. To confirm the biodiversity of the quieter animals.C. To emphasize the biodiversity of the noisy animals.D. To compare the noisy animals and the quieter ones.15．What's the main idea of the last paragraph?A. The investment in bio-acoustic analysis.B. The importance of forest restoration projects.C. The standard to measure the automated approach.D. The research’s impact on forest restoration projects.二、七选五16．There are two kinds of people climbing a mountain. The first, they are smiling, laughing and fully enjoying the journey no matter the effort they have taken. Another group, however, they are struggling. They have to stop and catch their breath 10 times on the way up.①_______It’s their lifestyle choices. We’ll give you three main reasons your pursuit of health and youth through lifestyle choices is an essential.You should build a strong foundation now.You probably know people who’ve survived a horrific disease —and it was said that their preexisting physical and spirits str engthen their bodies for battle and made them better equipped to endure stresses. That’s true with the recent COVID-19 pandemic: Severe cases are more likely for those with preexisting conditions, such as obesity, diabetes, heart disease, chronic lung disease and so on.②_______That is, healthy choices will help prevent chronic disease and set you up for a long life.It’s unclear how many reboots you’ll get.Perhaps in a utopian 25th-century world, there will exist some places that allows you to walk into a booth, press a few buttons, and erase every cigarette you’ve smoked, every couch you’ve potatoed, every potato you’ve ever fried.③_______Your ability to maximize their effectiveness will depend on your commitment to improving your biology through proven means: nutrition, physical activity, sleep, not smoking, and stress management.④_______The human brain remains the final biological frontier. So even if science ultimately allows us to correct our cells, genes, and other mechanisms that make our bodies work, when your brain goes, you will too.⑤_______And the steps are the same as those you can take to protect the rest of your body.A. What's the difference between them?B. No matter what happens, your brain needs you.C. You have the ability to change how your brain works and reacts.D. The same thinking will apply when we're talking about longevity.E. So you will definitely self-engineer your DNA switches to protect your brain.F. Your longevity depends more on the aggregate of what you do most of the time.G. But for the near future, it’s far more likely that your reboot chances will be limited.三、完形填空（15空）I didn’t really plan to learn percussion (打击乐器).

Design a notice of admission.3. In which section of a newspaper can you read the textA. Technology.B. EducationC. Geography.D. Entertainment.BOne summer day, as I was heading to the teaching building, I heard someone call my name. I turned around and saw Philip, a counselor at our college, standing with another young man. Philip introduced me to him, Stephen, and reminded me that Stephen would be taking one of my classes.Stephen looked at me. With a somewhat painful expression, he asked if my class was going to be hard and if he would be able to pass. I introduced all the things that he would be expected to learn. As we talked, I saw Stephen’s eyes getting big with fear.I told him to do all of his assignments, and to hand them in on time. Rather than being overwhelmed (压倒) by all of the work, I told him the most successful students made a mastercalendar of all the assignments so they could plan their workload.As the fall semester went on, I learned more of Stephen’s story. It had taken him longer to finish the assignments than most young people. Family members, including his mother, kept reminding him that he was a failure. But he kept at it and didn’t take them to heart. He told me that before coming to our college, no one believed he could manage it.Stephen didn’t become an A student. However, he managed to pass most of his courses by being in class every day, turning in all of his assignments on time and breaking down his studying into bite-sized parts. By passing course after course, he began to gain a measure of self-confidence.On his graduation day, he walked up to me, and said, “Thank you.”4. According to Stephen’s questions to the author, what do we know about StephenA. He had never been an A student.B. He didn’t want to attend the author’s class.C. He wasn’t very confident about himself.D. He couldn’t pass the author’s exam.5. What can we learn about the author according to thepassageA. He helped Stephen get an A in his class.B. He told Stephen how to deal with his studies.C. He didn’t believe that Stephen could study in college.D. He wouldn’t have met Stephen without the introdu ction of Philip.6. What does the passage mainly tell us about StephenA. He was an average student but hard-working.B. He was a little stupid and didn’t do well at school.C. He was far from a top student because of his failure.D. He was an excellent st udent, but didn’t have self- confidence.7. What lesson can we learn from the passageA. One bite at a time.B. Look before you leap.C. Haste makes waste.D. A good beginning is half done.CNot long ago, people could only buy organic food in small shops. Today it is common in most major supermarkets. The reason for the increase is that more and more people are demanding food grown without chemicals. Since the 1990s, organic farm production has gone up continuously. This pattern is expected to continue around the globe.Australia leads the world in land used for organic agriculture. It has four times as much land devoted to organic farming as all of Asia. However, most of the land is not very fertile, and it only produces a modest amount of food. Argentina is a distant second, followed by Brazil, the United States and China. In Africa, only a very small amount of land is registered for organic farming. That does not mean Africa relies on chemicals. In fact, many farmers do not use chemicals because they cannot afford them. Yet there are no programmes for these farmers to prove they do not use chemicals. Without these programmes, their food can never be approved organic.India has had the most dramatic recent increase in organic farming. Like many other countries, India sees continual growth in organic food sales around the world. This, of course, leads to growth in profits. Sales of organic food were more than doubled from 2000 to 2005. Like India, many countries are trying to increase commercial organic farming to get a share of the sales. This has led to criticism. Some people believe that organic farming should not just be about making money. They think the goal is to help the environment. Others say organic farming will not continue if it is not profitable. They say that people should be able to make money whileproviding healthy food for mankind.8. What is the passage mainly aboutA. Organic farming is growing around the world.B. Organic food has become much less common.C. People do not want to eat food with chemicals in it.D. Countries all want to make money from organic farming9. From the second paragraph, we can know thatA. India uses the least land to organic farmingB. Brazil uses less land to organic farming than ChinaC. the US is the fourth largest organic farming countryD. China and India have the same amount of organic farmland10. Why do people want to increase organic farmingA. Organic food is good for the Earth and the human beings.B. More and more people demand chemicals to grow food.C. There are fewer chemicals available to the human beings.D. Profits from organic farming help make approval programmes.11. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.A. people who eat food with chemicals have shorter lifespanB. India will soon become the largest country of growing organic foodC. more countries will farm organically as the environment getsworseD. there will be fewer organic farms if the demand for organic food goes downDImagine a team of humans and robots working together to process online orders. Real-life workers strategically positioned among their automated coworkers who are moving intelligently back and forth in a warehouse (仓库) space, picking items for shipping to the customer.This could become a reality sooner or later thanks to researchers at the University of Missouri, who are working to speed up the online delivery process by developing a software model designed to make transport robots smarter.“The robotic technology already exists,” said Sharan Srinivas, who spec ializes in data analytics and operations research. “Our goal is to best apply this technology through efficient planning. To do this, we’re asking questions like ‘given a list of items to pick, how do you optimize (优化) the route plan for the human pickers and robots ’ or ‘how many items should a robot pick in a given tour ’ Likewise, we have a similar set of questions for the human worker. The most challenging part is optimizing the collaboration plan between the human pickers and robots.”Currently, a lot of human effort and labor costs’ are involved with fulfilling online orders. To help optimize this process, robotic companies have already developed cooperative robots, also known as cobots or autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), to work in a warehouse or distribution center. AMRs are equipped with sensors and cameras to help them navigate (确定方向) around a controlled space like a warehouse. Srinivas said, “The robot is intelligent, so if it’s instructed to go to a particular location, it can navigate the warehouse and not hit any workers or other obstacles along the way. AMRs are not designed to replace human workers, but instead can work cooperatively alongside them to help increase the efficiency of the order fulfillment process.”“The one drawback is that thes e robots do not have good grasping abilities,” said Srinivas. “But humans are good at grasping items, so we are trying to balance the strength of both resources.”12. What does the underlined word “collaboration” in paragraph 3 meanA. Technology.B. Cooperation.C. Exploration.D. Similarity.13. What is the function of the sensors equipped on AMRsA. To look cool.B. To sense warnings.C. To direct AMRs’ way.D. To find human workers.14. What are AMRs bad atA. Jumping.B. Climbing.C. Walking.D. Holding.15. Which can be the best title for the textA. The Simple Use of RobotsB. Warehouse Workers and RobotsC. Making Transport Robots SmarterD. Transport Robots Invented by Sharan第二节根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项, 选项中有两项为多余选项。

Ancient Egypt at National Geographic.“Do what you love，not what others tell you is right,”says Georgia Lines of New Zealand.I spoke with the 24-year-old singer-songwriter earlier this month about her rise to fame. In 2022，Lines was named breakthrough artist of the year at the annual Aotearoa music awards ceremony. Aotearoa is the Maori name for New Zealand, an island country in the Pacific Ocean that is home to more than 5.1 million people.Lines makes success look easy, but she has worked hard to perfect her skills. “I love what I do,” she told me. “I love it when I get lost in music, and everything works together.”Already, Lines has opened for pop singer George Ezra. She hopes “to open for Harry Styles one day,” she added.Lines has written more than 20 songs and worked together with several top artists, including Jack Burton, Alex James and Cassie Henderson. “I love working with other people and cooperating,”Lines said. “I find I work better when I’m with others，because we can exchange ideas with each other.”When asked about her musical ambition growing up, Lines smiled. “I was never a musical genius as a child,” she said. “But I always loved singing and music.”In recent years, Lines has drawn enthusiastic crowds for her concerts. The video for her hit song, “No One Knows”, won best music video of the year in New Zealand in 2021.As for her future goals, Lines said that she wants “to have a promising career and to keep doing what I love.” That means focusing on her own career and artistic achievements. “Comparison is the robber of success,” she said. “If I had stopped to compare myself with others，I wouldn’t have made it as far as I have.”4、What is the main topic of the author’s conversation with Lines?A. Her childhood.B. Her family.C. Her style of music.D. Her way to success.5、What do we know about Lines from paragraph 5?A. She likes teamwork.B. She respects top artists most.C.

Taking others’ suggestions.7、Which word best describes Lines?A. Honest.B. Knowledgeable.C. Hard-working.D. Kind-hearted.Joe Seaman-Graves is the city planner for the small town of Cohoes, New York. He was in search of a less costly way of providing electricity to the town. There was no extra land to build on. But Cohoes does have a nearly 6-hectare reservoir(水库).Seaman-Graves learned that the town’s reservoir could hold enough solar panels (面板)to power all city buildings. And that would save the city more than $500,000 each year.Floating solar panel projects have seen quick growth as a new form of clean energy in the United States and Asia. Floating solar panels are sought after not just for their clean power, but also because they save water by preventing evaporation (蒸发).A recent study found that more than 6,000 cities in 124 countries could potentially produce all of their electricity demand using floating solar panels. It also found that the panels could spare the cities enough water each year to fill 40 million Olympic-sized swimming pools.The idea of floating solar panels is simple: attach panels on structures that float on water. The panels serve as a cover that reduces evaporation to nearly zero. The water keeps the panels cool. This permits them to produce power more effectively than land-based panels, which lose efficiency when they get too hot.One of the floating solar farms in the U. S. is the 4. 8-megawatt project in Healdsburg，California. It was built by the company Ciel & Terre, which has built 270 projects in 30 countries. Floating solar panels cost 10 to 15 percent more than land solar ones at first. But the technology saves money in the long term. Deeper water can increase setup costs, and the technology cannot operate on fast-moving water, on the open ocean or on coastlines with very large waves.Problems can come up if the solar panels cover too much of a water body’s sur face. Thatcould change the water temperature and harm underwater life. But Seaman-Graves said he believes his town’s floating solar panel project can serve as an example for other American cities.8、Why does the author mention “no extra land” in paragraph 1?A.To show what is needed to build a reservoir.B.To stress the necessity to build floating solar panels.C.To indicate the shortage of land in big cities.D.To stress the difficulty the city planner face in their work.9、What can panels’ being cool res ult in?A. Making more electricity.B. Keeping water still.C. Avoiding natural disasters.D. Protecting wildlife better.10、Which of the following is the fittest for setting up floating solar panels?A. Fast-moving water.B. Calm and not very deep water.C. Open oceans.D. Coastlines with large waves.11、Which can be the best title for the text?A.Making Good Use of Water SurfaceB.Argument About Floating Solar PanelsC.Bad Effects Caused by Floating Solar PanelsD.Floating Solar Panels Becoming PopularAmerican scientists claim in a new study that humans need to create very Earth-like conditions to survive for long periods in space.The study centered on issues such as dealing with gravity (重力)and oxygen in space, collecting water, developing agriculture and removing waste in space.equipment. Without these kinds of systems, the task will fail. One of the biggest problems for humans in space will be issues related to gravity. Humans experience lower levels of gravity in space. A lack of gravity can change the fluid (液体)pressure in living things. This can lead to health problems for humans living in space.There is just no other place in space where there is 1G of gravity ； that just doesn’t exist anywhere else in our solar system. That’s one of the first problems we must solve. 1G is another term for what scientists call “normal gravity”, or the gravity that exists on the Earth’s surface. It can be measured as the rate of speed at which an object travels when falling to the ground.Oxygen is another important consideration. The scientists say space agencies would need to build high-technology main and backup oxygen systems to support long-term human life in space. But what if they fail?One suggestion from the study is to arrange living things to produce oxygen. Think of the hundreds of thousands of species of plants that make oxygen. That kind of system would be needed to support long-term missions in space and on planets.The other main requirement would be a huge amount of energy from the sun, the study suggests. The scientists noted that as astronauts travel farther from the sun, they will be able to collect less and less solar energy. But they do need a lot of energy. Otherwise, powering the ecological system will be like trying to run your car on a cellphone battery.12、What does the underlined word “sustain” probably mean in paragraph 3?A. Support.B. Change.C. Challenge.D. Combine.13、What do we know about the gravity on the Earth according to the text?A. It is easy to recreate.B. It is common in space.C. It is unique in the solar system.D. It is hard to feel and measure.14、What does the study suggest doing to get oxygen in space?A. Making it with solar energy.B. Creating new living things.C. Producing it with equipment.D. Depending on plants.15、What will happen if astronauts fail to get enough energy from the sun?A.Their cellphone batteries will be used.B.Their ecological system will face great risk.C.They’ll have to get energy from other stars.D.They’ll produce energy using oxygen.二、七选五16、It’s common to feel hungry and take a snack throughout the day. ①________ But if you find yourself always feeling hungry and reaching for a snack, you might ask yourself: Am I really hungry, or am I bored?What type of hunger?There are different types of hunger: Physical hunger and psychological(心理的)hunger. If you are feeling physical effects of hunger, like a rumbling(辘辘声的)stomach or a headache, your body is in need of food to keep going. But if you “think” you, re hungry, it might be psychological hunger.Hunger is a normal sense that makes you want to eat. Your body tells your brain thatyour stomach is empty. Avoid going long periods without eating or eating very large meals.②________Am I hungry?One tip to avoid filling your psychological hunger is to wait 20 to 30 minutes after you first “feel” hungry. ③________ If you have some illness that requires blood sugar levels，then you’ll want to follow your doctor’s suggestions.Plan ahead④________ Have an idea to fill the time and avoid boredom，like taking a walk，reading a book or completing a task. Keeping a food diary for a week can be a powerful tool for you to become more aware of your eating habits and possible causes for emotional eating.⑤________ Often, being thirsty and dehydration (脱水)can be misunderstood as hunger. Next time you want a snack, try drinking a glass of water first!A.You are struggling with being fat.B.You can take measures in advance for it.C.Moreover，you can try drinking a glass of water.D.Hunger usually makes some people feel unhappy.E.If, after that time，you are still hungry，it’s time to eat.F.In fact, if it is done properly, there5 s nothing wrong with it.G. Instead, take a moment to consider the type of hunger before eating.三、完形填空（15空）After Dave Bishop retired from a 30-year career in telecommunications, he got a job as aThe 61-year-old gatekeeper has coached both primary and middle school teams and theyAvery Zhang, who won the state champion for grades K-5 this year.chess.

Rather, it’s about feeling great, having more energy, improving your health, and raising your mood. So healthy eating doesn’t mean you have to cook tough food.If you feel confused by all the conflicting nutrition and diet advice out there, you’re not alone. It seems that for every expert who tells you a certain food is good for you, you’ll find another saying exactly the opposite. So think more when facing that. The truth is that while some specific foods or nutrients have been shown to have a beneficial effect on mood, it’s your overall eating pattern that is most important. The cornerstone of a healthy diet should be to replace processed food with real food whenever possible. Eating food that is as close as possible to the way nature made it can make a huge difference to the way you think, look, and feel.While some extreme diets may suggest otherwise, we all need a balance of protein, fat, fiber,from your diet, but rather select the healthiest options from each category. Besides, you should change your dieting habit.Switching to a healthy diet doesn’t have to be an all or nothing proposition. You don’t have to be perfect and you don’t have to change everything all at once. A better approach is to make a few small changes at a time, Think of planning a healthy diet as a number of small, manageable steps-like adding a salad to your diet once a day. As your small changes become habits, you can continue to add more healthy choices.4．Which of the following is a real healthy diet?A. One that helps you stay thin.B. One full of most nutrition.C. One with strict cooking rules.D. One that makes you energetic.5．What should you do when facing the masters’ advice on health?A. Be careful about it.B. Try it with your family.C. Follow it completely.D. See if it satisfies you.6．What does the underlined word “eliminate” in Paragraph 3 mean?A. Pick.B. Benefit.C. Remove.D. Improve.7．What may help you become a healthy eater?A. Trying to seek for perfection.B. Learning from an expert at cooking.C. Changing your eating habit gradually.D. Cooking with only vegetables and fruit.CIt was my first year of teaching. I was young and inexperienced, and had class after class of twenty kids just waiting for me to make a mistake.After a particularly long night of grading papers and thinking about how many weeks I'd left until I could breathe, I had one of those mornings when I began to question my job choice. I'd become a teacher to help kids. Instead, I felt like I couldn't even help myself anymore. It was just Mother's Day, and as I sat at my desk surrounded by lesson plans, I wondered how I'd ever have enough energy to have children of my own.That was when I heard a knock at my door. One of my students came in — the cool basketball-playing country boy who had accidentally broken my favorite snow globe so that I couldn't display nice things in my classroom. He handed me a large flower that probably came from his family's farm. He'd stuck a bird feather in it.''I got you a Mother's Day gift,'' he said in a low voice. Most middle school and high school teachers don't receive presents. Christmas and Teacher Appreciation Day had already come and gone without any gifts. I was so shocked that I just stared.Made nervous by my silence, he said, ''You know…since you're like a mother to us, I thought you should get a present, too.''I smiled and told him he was the sweetest person in the entire world, and that I just loved it. Based on his smile, I knew I'd done enough work of making him feel quite proud of himself. Whatmade that twelve-year-old bring me a homemade present? I'll never know. Once he left the room, I locked the door. And I cried. That moment helped me get through the rest of the school years. 8．What did the author think of her job as a teacher at the beginning?A. Interesting.B. Tiring.C. Rewarding.D. Demanding.9．How did the boy feel when he gave his teacher the present?A. Excited.B. Shocked.C. Unwilling.D. Shy.10．How did the author react when she was given the flower?A. She was moved to tears.B. She didn't accept the present.C. She was too surprised to say anything.D. She stared at the boy in puzzlement.11．Which of the following encourages the author to continue teaching?A. The sincere love from students.B. Her positive attitude to life.C. Her strong interest in teaching.D. The achievements in her work.DWe all love our parents and turn to them when we’re in need, but would you like them to hear the conversations you have with your friends in the school playground or lunch queue? Social networking sites have become virtual extensions of the school hallways, so would you add your parents as “friends” and allow them to view your online activities and conversations with friends?In the past the generation gap included a technology gap, where children were up to date with the latest technology and parents were left behind, content to continue their day-to-day lives as they always had because they had no need to be good at new technology. However, more and more parents are beginning to realize just how important social networks are in their lives. This realization has given many parents the motivation to educate themselves about social networking sites.These days many people are attracted to social networking sites because they can choose who they have around them; there’s also a certain amount of control over privacy that we don’t get in real life. Sometimes we feel that privacy is violated when we must accept a “friend” request from a parent or family member.It’s a difficult choice whether or not to allow a parent to become a part of our online lives. On the one hand we don’t want to “reject” their request because that might hurt their feelings or make them feel you have something to hide. On the other hand if you do accept, then you could have a sense of being watched and no longer feel free to comment or communicate the way you did before.A recent survey suggested that parents shouldn’t take it personally if their child ignores their request: “ When a teen ignores a parent’s friend request, it doesn’t necessarily mean that they are hiding something, but it could mean that this is one part of their life where they want to exert their independence.”Perhaps talking with parents and giving explanations would help soften the blow when you do choose not to add them to your friends list.12．Many parents teach themselves social networks because ________.A. they are not content with their daily lifeB. they regard social networks importantC. they are curious to explore new technologiesD. they want to view their children’s online activities13．What might be the reason for teens to reject their parents’ request?A. They can’t choose friends around them.B. They have nothing to hide.C. They don’t want to teach their parents.D. Their privacy can not be guaranteed if so.14．A recent survey suggested that ________.A. teens value their privacy and independenceB. a teen’s rejection means they have something to hideC. a teen’s rejection means nothing specialD. independence is everything teens desire15．What is most likely to be talked about next?A. How to bridge the generation gap.B. How to make friends on social networks.C. How to explain to parents about the rejection.D. How to use the social networking sites.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Young animals generally spread by walking or flying. Because plants don’t have their ability, they must somehow hitchhike (搭顺风车). Some plant seeds scatter by blowing in the wind or floating on water. Many other plant species, though, trick an animal into carrying their seeds. How do they do this? They enclose the seeds within a tasty fruit and advertise the fruit’s ripeness (成熟) by its color or smell. The hungry animal collects and swallows the fruit, walks or flies off, and later spits out the seeds somewhere far from its parent tree. Seeds can thereby be carried for thousands of miles. It may surprise you to learn that plant seeds can resist digestion. In fact, some seeds actually require passage through an animal’s body before they can grow.Wild strawberries offer a good example of hitchhiking tactics. When strawberry seeds are still young and not yet ready to be planted, the surrounding fruit is green, sour and hard. When the seeds finally mature, the berries turn red, sweet, and tender. The change in the berries’ color serves as a signal to birds which then eat the strawberries, fly off, and eventually spit out the seeds.Naturally, strawberry plants (草莓) didn’t set out with a conscious intention of attracting birds only when their seeds were ready to be dispersed. Nor did birds set out with the intent of planting strawberries. Rather, strawberry plants evolved through natural selection. The sweeter and redder the final strawberry, the more birds spread its ripe seed: the greener and more sour the young strawberry, the fewer birds destroyed the seeds by eating berries before the seeds were ready.51. What does the underlined word in the third paragraph mean?A. Spread.B. Eaten.C. Born.D. Planted.52. For plants, which of the following is NOT a way of spreading their offspringto suitable areas?A. Hitchhiking.B. Blowing in the wind.C. Floating on water.D. Tracking an animal53. Which strategy (策略) does the example of wild strawberries describe?A. conscious intention of attracting birds.B. Spreading by walking.C. Spreading by flyingD. The strategy of taking a lift.54. Why does the author describe how strawberry seeds are spread?A. To show plants are good at adapting to the environment.B. To show strawberry’s special way.C. To show the plant has different way of spreading seeds.D. To show the mystery of plant.55. What’s the passage mainly about?A. How animals disperse offspring.B. How plants disperse their offspring.C. Plant evolution.D. Plants’ hitchhiking on animals.BEvery year more people recognize that it is wrong to kill wildlife for “sport”. Progress in this direction is slow because shooting is not a sport for watching,and only those few who take part in it realize the cruelty and destruction.The number of gunners, however, grows rapidly. Children too young to develop proper judgments through the independent thought are led a long way away by their gunning parents. They are subjected to advertisements of gun producers who describe shooting as good for their health and gun-carrying as a way putting redder bloodin the veins (静脉). They are persuaded by gunner magazines with stories honoringthe chase and the kill. In school they view motion pictures which are supposedly meant to teach them how to deal with arms safely but which are actually designedto stimulate a desire to own a gun.Wild life is disappearing because of shooting and because of the wild land habitat. Habitat loss will continue with our increasing population, but can we slow the lossof wildlife caused by shooting? There doesn’t seem to be any chance if the serious condition of our birds is not improved.Wildlife belongs to everyone and not to be the gunners alone. Although most peopledo not shoot, they seem to forgive shooting for sport because they know little or nothing about it. The only answer, then, is to bring the truth about sports shootingto the great majority of people.Now, it’s time to realize that animals have the same right to live as we doand that there is nothing fair or right about a person with a gun shooting the harmless and beautiful creatures. The gunners like to describe what they do as character-building, we know that to wound an animal and watch it go through the agony of dying can make nobody happy. If, as they would have you believe,gun-carrying and killing improve human character, then perhaps we should encourage wars.56. According to the text, how many reasons cause the wildlife disappears?A. 1.B. 2.C. 3.D. 4.57. According to the text, most people do not seem to be against hunting because__________. .A. they have little knowledge of itB. it helps to build human characterC. it is too costly to stop killing wildlifeD. they want to keep wildlife under control58. The underlined word in the last paragraph probably means ___________.A. formB. conditionC. painD. sadness59. According to the text, the films children watch at school actually __________.A. teach them how to deal with guns safelyB. praise hunting as character-buildingC. describe hunting as an exerciseD. encourage them to have guns of their own60. It can be inferred from the text that the author seems to ____________.A. blame the majority of peopleB. worry about the existence of wildlifeC. be in favor of warsD. be in support of character-buildingCPierre is a 25-year-old penguin at the California Academy of science. Due to his old age, he was going bald, which made him feel too cold to swim in the pool. Therefore, biologists at the academy had a wetsuit created for this penguin to help him get back in the swimming pool.Unlike marine ( 海洋的) mammals, which have a layer of fat to keep them warm, penguins depend on waterproof feathers. Without them, Pierre was unwilling to jump into the swimming pool and end up trembling on the side of the pool while his 19 peers played in the water.“He was cold; he would shake,”said Pam Schaller, a senior biologist. Schaller first tried a heat lamp to keep Pierre warm. Then she got another idea: if wetsuits keep humans warm in the cold Pacific, why not make one for Pierre?Schaller designed the suit, which covered Pierre’s body, and had small openings for his flippers.“I would walk behind him and look at where there were any gaps, and cut and refit and cut and refit until it looked like it was extremely suitable,”she said. One concern was that the other penguins would reject Pierre in his new suit, but in fact, they accepted his new look. He swam freely and got along with others well, although he was the only penguin with a black stomach.Schaller couldn’t say for sure whether the wetsuit allowed Pierre to recover his fine feathers, but “certainly we were able to keep him comfortable during a period of time that would have been very difficult for him to stay comfortable”.Pierre will take off his suit after his new feathers grow back.61. Pierre felt too cold to swim in the pool because of ___________.A. not having a layer of fatB. having few feathers due to old ageC. having no wetsuitD. other penguins rejecting him62. The idea of making a wetsuit for Pierre came from ___________.A. total inventionB. the use of wetsuit on humansC. the use of heat lampD. waterproof feathers63. Schaller followed Pierre in order to see _____________.A. whether other penguins would reject himB. if anywhere of the wetsuit needed to be cut and refitC. if the wetsuit kept warmD. whether the wetsuit would keep the feathers from recovering64. What does the underlined word in the second paragraph mean?A. Feeling scared.B. Staying alone.C. Shaking with cold.D. Keeping warm.65. The best title of the passage is “____________”.A. Wetsuit for an Old Penguin.B. Old Penguin Getting BaldC. Unwilling to Swim.D. Strange Look of Pierre.第四部分：写作（共两节，满分25分）第一节：阅读表达（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）Do you love nature?
