江苏省南通市区2024-2025学年高二10月月考英语试卷
江苏省南通市区2024-2025学年高二10月月考英语试卷一、阅读理解Looking to inspire curious young minds? These are some of the best popular science books for children, which should keep the young minds full of ideas long into the future.Amazing JellyfishThis book includes plenty of impressive facts. The first-person style of the author helps to keep the attention of young readers, by including personal stories and avoiding all pages of words. Each part is divided into detailed drawings and valuable information. The book has fun jokes about jellyfish, a maze (迷宫) with sea trash, and more.A Brief History of StuffDK has chosen a mix of many different things for this unique book. From baby bottles to pens, there isn’t much of a logical (合乎逻辑的) path or timeline, making it a great book for kids of all ages. Seeing a list of everyday items such as a pot or a fridge, you realize how little you know about the stories behind them. This book has all the information you need about their beginnings and impact on society.A Kid’s Guide to the Night SkyThe night sky is filled with countless astronomical objects to explore and this book does its best to introduce a wide variety of them to children. The life cycle of stars and light pollution are just a few of the topics that the book introduces to its audience. It also takes a deep div e into each of the solar system’s planets and some of the amazing technology that’s working to find out more about them.Radar (雷达) and the RaftThe story of radar, along with the inventors and contributing scientists, comes together in this book about the technology’s development and lifesaving uses. By connecting the story of the Bell family’s near-death experience at sea with the story of radar’s discovery, the author has produced an interesting and informative storyline.1．What is a main feature of Amazing Jellyfish?A．Using a strictly scientific style.B．Presenting a clear timeline of events.C．Focusing on fun games about sea life.D．Matching the text and the picture well. 2．How do readers probably perceive A Brief History of Steff?A．A collection of famous speeches.B．An introduction to historical heroes.C．A guide to exploring common objects.D．A handbook on starting interest clubs. 3．Which book best suits young enthusiasts for astronomy?A．Amazing Jellyfish.B．Radar and the Raft.C．A Brief History of Stuff.D．A Kid’s Guide to the Night Sky.How would you feel if your child were being tutored by a robot? It’s believed that social robots could become as common as paper and whiteboards in schools. Those robots have been used to read stories to preschool students in Singapore, help 12-year-olds in Iran learn English and improve handwriting among young children in Switzerland.As a professor of education, I study the different ways that teachers worldwide do their jobs. To understand how social robots could affect teaching, I introduced a robot called “Pepper” into a public elementary and middle school in the U. S. and found many problems with the current generation of social robots.To get the robot to perform, our students had to master the directions that came with the robot. Some students quickly figured out that the robot could respond only to certain basic routines. They kept trying to interact with the robot as if it were a person but got very frustrated with its nonhuman responses. When a robot failed to answer a question, or responded in the wrong way, students realized the robot wasn’t really understanding them and that the robot’s dialogue was preprogrammed.Also, I have found that these are not limited to school settings. Service robots in some health care facilities have been programmed to deliver medicine, but this requires special sensors and programming. Stores and restaurants are experimenting with delivery and cleaning robots. But when a grocery store in Scotland tried to use “Pepper” for customer interactions, the robot was fired after a week.While the social robots currently used in schools are limited in functions, they can still provide useful learning experiences. Students can use them to learn more about robotics and artificial intelligence. Struggling with a robot’s limitations gives students real insights into thecomplicated nature of human social interaction. The opportunity to do hands-on work with a social robot shows students how difficult it is to program robots to copy human behavior. As AI becomes a bigger part of our work and lives, we need to teach students to think critically about what it means to live and work with social machines.4．What phenomenon is described at the beginning of the text?A．The global differences in educational approachesB．The transformative impact of robots on education.C．The adoption of social robots in classrooms worldwide.D．The innovative achievements in science and technology.5．How do students find their interaction with social robots?A．Amusing and engagıng.B．Challenging but beneficial.C．Ineffective and disappointing.D．Satisfying but time-consuming.6．What does the author want to show by mentioning the examples in paragraph 4?A．Robotics still has room for improvement.B．Technology has changed the way we workC．Many fields are open to experimenting with robots.D．Robots might pose a threat to people’s employment.7．What can students learn by interacting with limited-function social robots in schools?A．To master communication skills.B．To get some hands-on experience.C．To strengthen the sense of mission.D．To improve critical thinking ability.For many of us, online shopping has made the process of purchasing goods a far simpler and more convenient process. No longer do we have to head to shops to browse through various objects, wandering round endless shelves, before finally setting for the first thing we saw. These days, we find the item we want or need online, click on it, and check out its description and, most importantly, its user reviews. If it fits the bill, we send it to our basket and pay.There seems to be a wealth of options at our fingertips. But how do we know the options that pop up in front of us really are the best deals, and how might algorithms (算法) help or hold us back?Algorithms, simply put, are mathematical instructions which tell a computer how to solveproblems. When shopping is involved, what is the problem they solve? Well, they instruct a computer which advertisements to show and which products a user is most likely to buy. By analyzing the things we bought or looked at previously algorithms can predict what goods we’re most likely to be attracted by.For some people, the idea of something guessing your preferences could sound a bit worrying. But first, let’s look at the positives. By telling a computer to show us what we are interested in, it can not only save us a lot of time, but also help us find the best deals. However, there are some people who have concerns about the impact of algorithms on our shopping experience. It is possible that algorithms may only select options from a limited number of brands, or may favour products from certain companies. There are also concerns that we aren’t always shown the cheapest or best deal, even though that’s what we’re searching for.So, the takeaway from this is that algorithms are here to stay, and it’s wise to know they exist. Whenever you are shopping, be it online or off, make sure you shop around for the best deals. The first thing you see might not always be the best for you.8．What is the main factor that leads you to buy the product online immediately?A．The reasonable price.B．Salesgirls’ description.C．Customers’ comments.D．The convenient delivery.9．How do algorithms help customers find their favourite goods?A．The previous consuming records.B．The most advertisements they see.C．The frequency of visiting the store.D．The amount of money they spend. 10．What does the author think of algorithms used for online shopping?A．Doubtful.B．Beneficial.C．Negative.D．Worrying. 11．Which message does the author want to convey in the last paragraph?A．Many hands make light work.B．Actions speak louder than words.C．Only the feet tell if the shoes fit.D．Only comparing can see the gap.At a park in one of the world’s most polluted cities, a filtration (过滤) “tower” has been quietly cleaning the surrounding air since last summer. Called Verto, the device filters 600,000 cubic meters of air a day in New Delhi’s Sunder Nursery.Filtration towers were designed by architecture firm Studio Symbiosis. The firm’sco-founders, Amit Gupta and Britta Knobel Gupta, say their fan-powered devices can clean the air within a radius (半径) of 200 to 500 meters in some spaces, depending on wind speed and how open the surroundings are. “I think the towers can also be installed in public parks and squares, where people spend quality outdoor time,” Britta said, adding that installing (安装) the towers in spots where homeless people sleep might also be very beneficial.In 2019 alone, air pollution is thought to have caused nearly 1.6 million deaths in India, according to a study in medical journal The Lancet. New Delhi is regularly covered with smog, with vehicle emissions, crop-burning, and coal-fired power plants all contributing to the city’s bad air quality.In addition to the direct impact of pollution, the resulting climate change has caused heat waves that have killed more than 24,000 people in the country since 1992, according to a study published by the University of Cambridge.Amit estimated that maybe 100 of the towers would be required to filter the air across central New Delhi, though further research and a “full-scale model” would be required to calculate more figures. The devices are also designed to be easily transported, with the hope that they can be adopted on a larger scale.The filters, which need to be changed every three to nine months, are partly recyclable. Noise generated by the towers is, at a maximum of 75 decibels, similar to that of a standard kitchen exhaust fan (排风扇). To reduce Verto’s environmental impact, Studio Symbıosis installed energy-efficient smart fans that vary according to local conditions, slowing down when pollution is low, or when strong winds provide natural air flow.12．Which factor can improve the work efficiency of filtration tower?A．The height of tower.B．The surrounding people.C．The design of fans.D．The strength of wind.13．What is mainly discussed in Paragraphs 3 and 4?A．The death number in India since 1992.B．The consequence of climate change.C．The cause and effect of air pollution.D．The process of heat wave generation. 14．What is the striking feature of Verto?A．Cost-effective.B．Uniquely-designed.C．Eco-friendly.D．Completely-recycled15．What is the best title for the text?A．The air cleaning tower in India B．The bad air quality in New DelhiC．The filtration tower’s global trend D．Smart fans’ environmental purposeAppreciating art can be a rewarding experience. But it can also be confusing if you’re not sure where to start. Here are a few tips to help you get the most out of your art appreciation journey.One of the most important things to remember when looking at art is to approach it with an open mind. 16 Instead, allow yourself to experience the art work on its own terms and see what emotions or thoughts it awakens in you.When you first encounter a piece of art, take a few moments to look at it. Notice the colors, lines, shapes, and materials. 17 If you’re looking at a painting, try to identify the brushwork and how it contributes to the artistic effect of the piece.18 Thinking about the situation in which a piece was created can help you better understand and appreciate the work. For example, if you’re looking at a piece of art from the 19th century, it can be helpful to learn about the artistic movements and social issues that were common at the time.The medium in which a piece of art is created can have a significant impact on the final product. 19 Understanding the properties and limitations of different mediums can help you appreciate the technical skills and choices of the artist.If you’re looking at art in a museum or gallery, there may be a staff member available to answer your questions. Don’t be afraid to ask for more information. If you’re looking at art online or in a book, try to find out more about the work through research. 20A．Many works of art convey a deeper meaning.B．You can also turn to a professional about the subject.C．Try not to assume what the artist was trying to express.D．The key to appreciating art is to approach it with curiosity.E．Observe how the various elements of the artwork are arranged.F．Art is often created within a specific historical, or cultural context.G．A sculpture made of metal has a different feel from an oil painting.二、完形填空The town of North Rustico is a homey sort of place. Neighbors there are always sure to 21 one another as they go about their day. And that 22 of friendliness is apparently infectious.One day, local resident Lisa Sandoval was walking near the waterfront when she realized somebody was 23 to her. “I heard ‘Hello! Hello!’” Sandoval said. “I turned around and there wasn’t even a 24 . Then I heard the 25 again. I got a little 26 , and thought I must be hearing things.”It was then that Sandoval noticed only a crow (乌鸦) nearby. “I stopped and said, ‘Hello?’”27 , he answered me back, “Hello!”Sandoval later came to learn that she wasn’t the only one in town to have 28 the talking crow. The story goes that years earlier the bird had been found injured as a baby and 29 by an elderly man living nearby, who often spoke to him during his 30 . “That bird had learned to say hello and had been let go free after regaining his health,” Sandoval said. A few months after their 31 meeting, Sandoval ran into the talking crow again.Crows, much like parrots, are indeed 32 of learning to mimic human language. So, if the story of his 33 is true, his vocalizations (说出的话) may very well 34 the voice of the elderly man who’d saved him. “He passed away years ago,” Sandoval said, but his legacy (遗产) 35 in the friendly, feathered bird. 21．A．understand B．greet C．attract D．remember 22．A．chance B．principle C．sense D．demand 23．A．pointing B．speaking C．responding D．appealing 24．A．soul B．signal C．choice D．change 25．A．answer B．rhythm C．warning D．voice 26．A．confused B．bored C．messy D．guilty 27．A．Gradually B．Carelessly C．Incredibly D．Accidentally 28．A．attended B．adopted C．encountered D．expected 29．A．introduced B．nursed C．grabbed D．accepted30．A．residence B．flight C．absence D．recovery 31．A．initial B．regular C．casual D．private 32．A．aware B．proud C．capable D．ignorant 33．A．origin B．talent C．injury D．departure 34．A．raise B．reflect C．protect D．replace 35．A．sets off B．gives up C．backs down D．lives on三、语法填空阅读下面短文，在空白处填入一个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

When she arrived, she went straight to the kitchen and, without asking, ate a spoonful of raspberry jam and some dried fruit. She wasn’t being rude. I knew she would do this. We’ve known each other for almost 20 years. She can eat anything she wants from my kitchen. Indeed, I bought her favorite fruits and snacks at the shop that morning.Our long weekend together was luxuriously (惬意地) simple. I was recovering from surgery (手术) and couldn’t go to shopping malls. We passed the time running errands (做杂事), going to the post office and collecting dry cleaning. We drank way too many cappuccinos. But we talked about every little detail of our lives.There’s never been a quiet moment in our friendship. We’ve lived in different cities for almost a decade. Reunions demand constant conversation. our personalities are matched, to be sure, and a shared history is indescribably valuable. We were competitors in high school before bonding over a bad experience. Then we discovered the many interests that we had in common. Our friendship cemented (巩固) itself quickly. We stayed companions through law school, through our first jobs and our first boyfriends. We supported each other through break-ups and breakthroughs. Ours is a friendship for the ages.There is something special about friends who know everyone and everything about you. They are rare. These are the people you’ve chosen to witness your life. They have seen the bright lights of achievement, the depths of despair (绝望) and the boring routine (平淡乏味) of the in-between.It’s special to unpack feelings and frustrations without wasting time filling in the blanks. As my long weekend shows, with such friends we don’t have to “do”, we simply have to “be”. We drop the act, the performance, the public version of ourselves.The special friendships are those which never fail to delight, the continuation of which is worth the extra effort, despite distance and difference sneaking (溜进) into your separate lives. I had the very great joy of this reminder last weekend. I’m lucky to have found this friend, to see a future where her companionship remains. Being together is perfection.4．What happened during her best friend’s visit?A．They enjoyed an eventful long weekend.B．They bonded by having long conversations.C．They made their favorite snacks and coffee.D．They talked about recent news events. 5．One thing that the author appreciates about their friendship is that ______.A．they help each other deal with the boredom of lifeB．they prefer to witness each other’s lives from far awayC．they try to show each other their best selvesD．they are comfortable being themselves when together6．Which of the following would the author agree with?A．Charm comes from differences.B．Politeness brings best friends closer.C．Good friendships last naturally.D．Good friendships need devotion.7．The author’s main purpose in writing this article is to ______.A．describe what her best friend is like B．tell about the friendship she treasuresC．explore the key aspects of friendship D．express thanks to her best friendEveryone is afraid of something. Maybe you're afraid of spiders, or heights, or dogs, or the dark. And traditionally, we’ve thought that's because you learned to be afraid. Probably because you had a bad run-in with something at some point. But there's a different idea out there that's been getting more attention lately: the idea that fears aren’t just learned …they also can be inherited.It sounds like a wild idea. How do you inherit something as abstract as fear? But over the last fifty years, researchers have been studying just how much fears have to do with inheritance and genetics. And their results have been kind of surprising.In this work, they’ve put a lot of effort into understanding one extreme kind of fear, called a phobia. To get a sense of how much genes influence fear, scientists have begun looking at identical twins. Since identical twins have almost the same DNA, researchers can figure out how heritable a fear is by comparing how often specific phobias appear in identical twins as opposed to other brothers or sisters. Because even though twins often have lots of similar experiences, they probably don't share the types of experiences that cause phobias — like getting bitten by a dog or falling out of a tree.One 1998 study of 659 pairs of identical and fraternal twins in Australia looked at how many had a fear of blood. The study found that genetics accounted for 71 percent of the variation among those people, meaning genetic factors play a pretty big role in determining whether a person has some specific fear.A 2016 study also found that fear of dental work was over 30 percent heritable. So, if you are afraid of going to the dentist, it really might not be your dentist's fault. Overall, first-degree relatives of people with phobias are more likely to have similar phobias than people with no family history.So, it's pretty clear that phobias are heritable!8．What does the author mean by saying the underlined sentence in Para. 2?A．It's unbelievable that people can inherit something so abstract like fear.B．It's surprising that people know so little about inheritance and genetics.C．It's natural that people become afraid of things that they had bad experience with.D．It's interesting that people are afraid of so many things such as spiders and the dark. 9．Why did the scientists choose identical twins as their test subjects?A．They look very much alike.B．They have shared experiences.C．They have similar personalities.D．They share basically the same DNA．10．What did the author try to prove by mentioning the studies in Para. 4 and 5?A．Dentists are scary to many kids.B．Most people have some kind of fear.C．Fear of blood is the most common phobia.D．Fear of things can be a result of genetic inheritance.11．Where does the text probably come from?A．A travel brochure.B．A science talk show.C．A commercial advertisement.D．A history book.In order to improve people’s sleep, experts have encouraged people to adopt a variety of measures to overcome their stress-related sleeplessness. Among their recommendations: engage in regular exercise, establish a nightly bedtime routine and cut back on screen time. But many people may be overlooking another important factor in poor sleep: diet.A growing body of research suggests that the foods you eat can affect how well you sleep, and your sleep patterns can affect your diet choices. Dr St-Onge has spent years studying the relationship between diet and sleep. In this research, she and her assistants selected 26 healthy adults and controlled what they ate for four days, providing them with regular meals prepared by nutritionists while also monitoring how they slept at night. On the fifth day, the subjects were allowed to eat whatever they wanted.Their work suggests that rather than stressing one or two specific foods with supposedly sleep-inducing properties, it is better to focus on the overall quality of your diet. They discovered that eating more fat and less fiber from foods like vegetables, fruits and whole grains led to reductions in slow-wave sleep, which is the deep kind. In general, the experiments have also found that carbs have a significant impact on sleep: People tend to fall asleep much faster at night when they consume a high-carb diet compared to when they consume a high-fat or high-protein diet.But the quality of carbs matters. In fact, they can be a double-edged sword when it comes tosleep. Dr St-Onge has found that when people eat more sugar and simple carbs — such as white bread and pasta — they wake up more frequently throughout the night. In other words, eating carbs may help you fall asleep faster, but it is best to consume “complex” carbs that contain fiber, which may help you obtain more deep, healthy sleep.12．In what way can we say “the quality of carbs matters”?A．Carbs are essential to better sleep.B．Carbs’ influence depends on its quality.C．Carbs can be consumed as many as possible.D．Carbs should be taken in frequently. 13．Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A．A Recent Research on Sleep and Diet B．A Method of Having a Good SleepC．The Relation between Sleep and Diet D．The Sleep Patterns and Diet Choices 14．Which factor might be ignored in poor sleep?A．Regular exercise.B．Bedtime schedule.C．Screen time.D．Proper diet.15．What does the research conducted by Dr St-Onge suggest?A．We can have a better sleep with all carbs.B．Sleep and diet can influence each other.C．Carbs contribute to easier sleep than high-fat diets.D．We’d better focus on one or two specific food.Tips to Create Great ReadersAre great readers born or are they made? Obviously, children don’t enter the world knowing how to understand a text or make a prediction. 16 Here are some tips for making children great readers by habit.17 The most critical moment in reading instruction is when children get something wrong. If the child continues practising the skill incorrectly, he or she will build weaker habits. Intervene (干预) with a targeted question, such as “How does this part of the text help you understand this character?” Doing so can prevent poor habits from taking root and build great ones in their place.Build habits at the moment of writing. Just like adults, children use writing to gather their thoughts about a text and communicate their ideas to others. 18 For example, children can first have a discussion about what they’re reading by answering a focus question in writing: “Whatis the author trying to teach us in this story?” 19 By doing this, you can get a better understanding of what guidance the children will need during the discussion.Build habits at the moment of reading. Independent reading time is important for any reading programme. It’s a chance for children to put together everything they’ve learnt in reading lessons and fly using their own wings. 20 So providing a rich class library and letting children know that they are expected to read for the entire period will ensure their success as lifelong independent readers.A．Build habits at the moment of error.B．Make sure children fall in love with reading.C．Then, you can review their written responses.D．They grow into great readers by learning great habits.E．But it only works if they really do spend that time reading.F．Specific lines or phrases from the text help to reveal that information.G．Therefore, you can develop their writing and reading skills at the same time.二、完形填空In the summer of 2015, Brian Peterson and his wife, had just moved to California. Outside the couple’s apartment, a homeless man often shouted on the street corner. One day, Peterson was reading the book Love Does, when his quiet was 21 by the homeless man.

Faris said yes.This 28 sparked Peterson to found Faces of Mankind, a nonprofit organization that focused on painting and 29 portraits of those who are unhoused. Peterson put half the money into a “love account” to help his 30 get back on their feet. Many people use the funds for 31 —medical care, clothes or food, but Faris chose to 32 hismusical dream.

江苏省南京市雨花台中学2024-2025学年高二上学期10月月考英语试卷
江苏省南京市雨花台中学2024-2025学年高二上学期10月月考英语试卷一、阅读理解For the intrepid traveler seeking unique and off-the-beaten-path experiences, these four international tourist destinations offer a plethora of captivating sights and activities.Destination 1: Machu Picchu, PeruNestled high in the Andes Mountains, Machu Picchu is an archaeological wonder that has mystified and attracted scholars and adventurers alike. This ancient Incan citadel, often referred to as the “Lost City of the Incas,” is accessible only by a strenuous hike or a train ride through breathtaking landscapes. The ruins are replete with intricately carved stone structures, terraced fields, and sacred temples. The site’s mysterious history and stunning natural setting make it a must-visit destination for those with a penchant for exploration.Destination 2: Santorini, Greece Renowned for its dramatic cliffs, cobalt-blue domes, and mesmerizing sunsets, Santorini is a paradise for aesthetes and romantics. The island’s unique volcanic landscape offers a visual feast of multicolored cliffsides and crystal-clear waters. Wander through the charming white-washed villages of Oia and Fira, and savor the local cuisine, which includes fresh seafood and delicious Mediterranean delicacies. The island’s luxurious resorts and spas provide the perfect respite after a day of exploring.Destination 3: Kyoto, JapanAs the cultural heart of Japan, Kyoto is a city steeped in history and tradition. Home to numerous ancient temples, shrines, and gardens, Kyoto offers a glimpse into Japan’s rich cultural heritage. Visit the iconic Kinkaku-ji (Golden Pavilion), stroll through the serene Arashiyama Bamboo Grove, and experience a traditional tea ceremony. The city’s traditional crafts, such as silk weaving and pottery, are also a draw for tourists seeking a more immersive cultural experience.Destination 4: Prague, Czech RepublicWith its fairytale-like architecture, Prague is a city that seems to have stepped out of a storybook. The city’s Old Town Square is dominated by the Astronomical Clock, a medieval timepiece that is a marvel of engineering. Explore the narrow cobblestone streets and visit the many castles and palaces that dot the city. Prague’s vibrant nightlife and world-class cuisine makeit a popular destination for travelers from around the world.1．What makes Machu Picchu a must-visit destination?A．Its ancient lost city of the Incas.B．Its easy accessibility to all travellers.C．Its stone structures and sacred temples.D．Its unexplainable history and naturallandscape.2．What do Destination 2 and Destination 4 have in common?A．They are paradises for romantics.B．They provide delicious delicacies.C．They are dominated by engineering marvels.D．They offer a visual feast of crystal-clear waters.3．If you’re interested in history, you can choose to visit .A．Destination 1 and Destination 3B．Destination 2 and Destination 3C．Destination 2 and Destination 4D．Destination 1 and Destination 2A daughter complained to her father about her life and how things were so hard for her. She did not know if she was going to make it and wanted to give up. She was tired of fighting and struggling. It seemed as one problem was solved a new one arose.Her father, a cook, took her to the kitchen. He filled three pots with water and placed each on a high fire. Soon the pots came to a boil. In one he placed carrots, in the second he placed eggs, and in the last he placed ground coffee beans. He let them sit and boil, without saying a word.The daughter sucked her teeth and impatiently waited, wondering what he was doing. In about twenty minutes he turned off the burners. He fished the carrots out and placed them in a bowl. He pulled the eggs out and placed them in a bowl. Then he ladled the coffee out and placed it in a mug. Turning to her, he asked, “Darling, what do you see?”“Carrots, eggs, and coffee,” she replied.He brought her closer and asked her to feel the carrots. She did and noted that they were soft. He then asked her to take an egg and break it. After pulling off the shell, she observed the hard-boiled egg. Finally, he asked her to sip the coffee. She smiled, as she tasted its rich aroma.“What does it mean, father?” she humbly asked.He explained that each of them had faced the same adversity, boiling water, but each reacted differently. The carrot went in strong, hard, and unrelenting; but after being subjected to the boiling water, it became softened and weak. The egg had been fragile; its thin outer shell had protected its liquid interior; but after sitting through the boiling water, its inside became hardened.The ground coffee beans were unique, however; after they were in the boiling water, they had changed the water.“Which are you?” he asked his daughter.4．Why did the daughter complain to her father?A．Because she found life was extremely cruel to her.B．Because she found that she was at a loss in her life.C．Because she was tired of fighting and struggling with others.D．Because she doubted if she’d make it to addressing the boredom in life.5．What did the father take his daughter to the kitchen for?A．To boil three things for her.B．To explain to her what life is.C．To give her some inspiration.D．To carry out an experiment with her. 6．What can be inferred from the text?A．The father seemed to be in favor of the egg most.B．The carrot was likely to be the daughter’s favourite.C．The three things all stood the test of the boiling water.D．The ground coffee beans chose to affect their surroundings.7．What’s the best title for the text?A．A vivid lesson B．A best choiceC．A tough challenge D．A rough rideWhen driving, Clara-Marina Martinez makes a note of any unusual behaviour she sees on the road. She then feeds these into machine-learning algorithms (算法), a form of AI, which she is helping develop for Porsche Engineering.Those algorithms are intended to produce a system reliable enough for a car to drive itself. Such a fully autonomous car, known in the industry as Level 5, should be able to complete anentire journey without any intervention (介入) from the driver, and deal with all situations on the road. But this is proving hard to achieve, and many attempts to do so are being abandoned. Last year, for instance, Uber sold off its unit developing self-driving cars.Autonomous vehicles are said to be not just convenient but potentially safer. However, just as people take time to learn how to drive safely, so do machines. And machines are not quick learners. The RAND Corporation calculates that to develop a system 20% safer than a human driver, 100self-driving cars would have to operate 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.Carmakers such as Porsche therefore speed up the development process using simulators (模拟器). These teach software about dangers rarely encountered in reality. Dr Martinez and her colleagues employ “game engines” to do this. These are used to create virtual worlds through which the software can drive. Objects in these virtual worlds are assigned their physical characteristics (ie, buildings are hard, people are soft) so that the sensors in vehicles respond in the appropriate way. Once the software has been trained, it is tested in real autonomous vehicles by re-creating those situations on a test track.How quickly all this will translate into reality remains to be seen. Both regulators and customers will need to overcome the doubt that a software driver really can be safer than a human being.From Porsche’s point of view, though, there is another question. Given that much of the reason owning a sports car is for owners to show off their driving skills, just how big a market will there be for a version where software takes those bragging (炫耀的) rights away?8．Why does Clara-Marina Martinez note the unusual behaviour on the road?A．To market Porsche cars.B．To improve an AI technology.C．To learn to be a responsible driver.D．To enjoy riding in a self-driving car.9．The problem with self-driving cars is that .A．they learn as slowly as human beingsB．they operate for a very short period of timeC．they have to be monitored by human driversD．they need a long time to reach a certain safety level10．What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 4 refer to?A．Employing simulators on a test track.B．Speeding the development of process.C．Figuring out the physical road dangers.D．Separating the real world from the virtual world.11．What worries Porsche according to the last paragraph?A．The reliability of car software.B．The future of the sports car market.C．The driving skills of human beings.D．The quality of self-driving cars in the future.Studies have shown the mere exposure effect, also referred to as the familiarity principle, inspires our decisions. It is a helpful psychological mechanism that helps us sustain our energy and focus our attention on other things. Getting used to new things takes effort and it can be tiring. So unless we have a terrible experience, we are likely to buy from companies we’ve got used to. That is why companies spend so much money on advertising and marketing and why insurance (保险) companies openly charge existing customers more than new ones.It’s not the case that we only desire things we already know. Some studies suggest when invited to share our preferences, we sometimes see less familiar options as more desirable. But when acting on that preference, we fall back to what we know. This might explain why sometimes the things we want and the things we do don’t quite match up. We might even return to companies that treated us poorly in the past or stay in bad relationships.It’s easy to paint the familiarity principle as an enemy or something to battle as if it is something that holds us back from living our dreams. But this attitude might be overwhelming because it tends to encourage us toward big-picture thinking. Where we imagine that change requires a quite dramatic swing that we don’t feel ready for. Some articles suggest the solution to familiarity frustration (沮丧) is complete exposure to novelty. While this can appear effective in the short term, we may only end up replacing one problem with another. It also risks overwhelm and burnout.So what if we can work with the familiarity principle instead? Familiarity is something wecan learn to play with and enjoy. It is a setting for creativity and a pathway to expansion. We can broaden the zone of familiarity bit by bit. If we think of familiarity as something that can expand, we can consider changing the conditions in and around our lives to make more space for our preferences to take root and grow gently. From here, we will start to make decisions, drawing from an ever-deepening pool of valuable options.12．What allows insurance companies to charge old customers more?A．The advertising cost.B．The improved service.C．The familiarity principle.D．The principle of the market.13．We can learn from paragraph 2 that .A．Our preferences affect our decisionsB．Familiarity tends to generate disrespectC．The familiarity principle is a double-edged swordD．There can be a mismatch between desires and actions14．What is the author’s attitude towards the solution in some articles?A．Disapproving.B．Tolerant.C．Objective.D．Reserved. 15．Which of the following is the best title for the text?A．Step Out of Your Familiarity ZoneB．Spare a Thought for Your PreferenceC．Gently Expand Your Familiarity ZoneD．Give Priority to the Mere Exposure EffectEssential CreativityIn a recent survey in America, 62% of people said that creativity was more important to success in the workplace than they had expected it to be when they were in school.16 It is of course possible to scan people’s brains and see which parts are firing when an idea is created, but rather more romantically it can be thought of as something that cannot be identified. Creativity is what comes to you when you least expect it. You cannot demand creativity from your mind, nor can you demand that you are creative in a particular way.One misconception about creativity is that it is reserved for a few special people. This is not true. 17 Another misconception is that creativity is all about the arts but this simply isn’ttrue. 18It is incredibly important that schools do not prevent creativity. 19 Students should be taught to ask questions and investigate when things do not make sense. They need to learn to view mistakes as opportunities for learning rather than something that was unsuccessful. But now it is worrying that many schools are less concerned with nurturing creativity. However, without creativity, we are indistinguishable from the masses. 20 Meanwhile, we can also channel it to face the challenges of the future.A．We can use it to set ourselves apart.B．It’s difficult to define what creativity is.C．Everyone has the capacity to be creative.D．We can employ creativity to deal with the world.E．Rather, they should work to expand, grow, and exercise it.F．It’s hard to work out where exactly creativity comes from.G．Creativity extends to maths and science in just the way it does to music and literature.二、完形填空Atomic (原子的) shapes are so simple that they can’t be broken down any further. Mathematicians are trying to 21 artificial intelligence (AI) to build a “periodic table” (周期表) of these shapes.Tom Coates at Imperial College London and his colleagues are working to classify (分类) atomic shapes 22 as Fano varieties, which are so simple that they can’t be broken down into smaller 23 . Just as chemists arranged elements in the periodic table by their atomic weight and group to 24 new insights, the researchers hope that organizing these atomic shapes by their various 25 will help in understanding them.The team has assigned each atomic shape a sequence of numbers 26 its features such as the number of holes it has or the 27 to which it twists around itself. This acts as a bar code (条形码) to 28 it. Coates and his colleagues have now created an AI that can predict certain properties of these shapes from their bar code numbers alone, with an 29 of 98 percent.The team member Alexander Kasprzyk, who works at the University of Nottingham, UK, says that the AI has let the team organize atomic shapes in a way that begins to 30 the periodic table, 31 when you read from left to right, or up and down, there seem to be organized patterns in the geometry (几何) of the shapes.The team hopes to 32 the model to the point where missing spaces in its periodic table could point to the existence of unknown shapes, which could 33 benefit further study.Graham Niblo at the University of Southampton, UK, stresses that humans will still need to understand the results provided by the AI and creates proofs of these ideas. “AI has 34 got unbelievable abilities. But in the same way that telescopes (望远镜) don’t put astronomers out of work, AI doesn’t put mathematicians out of work,” he says. “It just gives us new 35 that allows us to explore parts of the mathematical landscape that are out of reach.”21．A．go about B．turn to C．break with D．throw in 22．A．rewarded B．encountered C．entitled D．diverged 23．A．components B．perspectives C．variations D．transformations 24．A．enhance B．estimate C．reveal D．guarantee 25．A．predictions B．properties C．arrangements D．allowances 26．A．trapped in B．compared to C．bent on D．based on 27．A．scale B．extent C．width D．dimension 28．A．identify B．grasp C．imply D．cast 29．A．concept B．impression C．essence D．accuracy 30．A．differ B．follow C．multiple D．claim31．A．as though B．even if C．so that D．now that 32．A．display B．expose C．distinguish D．improve 33．A．in turn B．in contrast C．by turns D．in return 34．A．critically B．definitely C．strikingly D．comprehensively 35．A．setting B．booming C．backing D．calling三、语法填空阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

Parents are not to ride with children on the bus, and in no way are parents to come to the school, whether to drop off their children or to take pictures. Parking space is not enough, even for teachers, staff, and buses, and additional cars are stopped from parking at the beginning or end of the school day.That was all understandable but they didn’t know my five-year-old twins. Shy and sensitive, they hid whenever the doorbell rang. My apprehension on that first day of school was that my girls would hide under a bus seat, or somehow get lost or stolen. The first day of school wouldn’t be easy for them and me.The day finally came. The bus was late, and I watched Morgan and Chloe get on, turn and wave on the top step. Okay, then I ran crazily. But I ran before the bus, not after the bus. Can’t a woman go for a run?The bus finally overtook me a few hundred yards before the school building. Out of breath, I secretly moved to the front gate, hiding safely behind a large sports car. I had a bird’s-eye view of every child that climbed down the bus steps and walked into the school. I willed my breath to quiet down and I focused hard on just being still because getting caught would be beyond awkwardness. Sweat rolled down my forehead and mixed with the sunblock (防晒霜) I had used hours before, hurting my eyes and making me teary.A few minutes went by. Two more buses emptied and left, and then there they were! Chloe smiled shyly as the headmaster gave her a big smile and “Welcome!” Morgan stayed tightlybehind, but she was smiling and holding her sister’s hand. I said it was the sweat and the sunblock that made me teary. I was lying about that part.4．What is the main message of the letter from the headmaster?A．Parents can’t receive pictures of their children at school.B．Parents are required to park far away from the school.C．Parents should be in company with their children on the first day.D．Parents are not allowed to drop off their children at school.5．What does the underlined word “apprehension” in paragraph 2 mean?A．Promise.B．Fear.C．Plan.D．Impression. 6．What did the author do after watching her twins get on the bus?A．She went home and waited for them to return in anxiety.B．She ran after the bus to ensure her twins’ safety.C．She went for a run before the bus reached the school.D．She made her way to the school entrance as soon as possible.7．What caused the author to cry actually?A．The heat and physical tiredness from running.B．The regret for not being able to be with her twins.C．The emotional reaction to seeing her twins happy and safe.D．The painful feeling from the sunblock getting into her eyes.Conservationists (保护主义者) received good news recently after a big research project found that wildlife conservation projects are really effective.At the moment, nearly a third of species that are observed by experts are ones classed as endangered due to human activities. Threats to these species include habitat loss and changes in weather patterns such as rising temperatures. Conservation projects aim to help improve species numbers and help them develop.For the new study, a team of international researchers looked at 665 trials (试验) of conservation efforts between 1890 and 2019. The trials were across the world and focused on lots of different species. The results showed that two thirds of conservation trials either improved biodiversity—the variety of wildlife in an area or slowed down its decline (减少). The researcherssaid that when conservationist efforts do work, they “really work”.Efforts to manage meat-eaters along the coast of Florida, US, which helped to improve the numbers of loggerhead turtles and least terns—a type of bird, were a success. Breeding (繁育) certain species and then freeing them into the wild, such as Chinook salmon and Cuban crocodiles, was also a successful conservation method. Although not all efforts were a success, sometimes they helped other species by accident. Off the coast of New South Wales, Australia, protected sea areas were created to improve seahorse numbers. The seahorse population actually fell because the protected waters attracted meat- eaters, such as octopuses, but the octopus population increased.Although the study was global, there was less focus on Central and South America, Southeast Asia and parts of Africa, where there is less money for research. For the next stage of the study, the plan is to include more regions.8．What can we know about the 665 conservation trials?A．Most of them were successful.B．They were carried out in developed countries.C．Most of their subjects were endangered species.D．They aimed to limit humaninfluences on wildlife.9．How does the author develop paragraph 4?A．By providing examples.B．By comparing various species.C．By presenting causes and effects.D．By listing similarities and differences. 10．What can we infer from the last paragraph?A．Southeast Asia didn’t pay attention to conservation projects.B．Money should be raised to support the project.C．More researchers should take part in the project.D．The project will be carried out in a wider range of areas.11．What can be the best title for the text?A．Climate Changes Affect Wildlife B．Conservation Projects Are WorkingC．The Endangered Animal Populations Rise D．Conservation Projects Get Worldwide AttentionPeople experience emotional pain — often in the form of guilt (内疚) — when spending money. This is called the moral tax (道德税) or pain of payment. We can reduce this guilt byseparating the enjoyment of a purchase (购买) from its payment. However, the best way to reduce moral tax is by receiving a gift—an item you don’t have to pay for at all!As a result, the best gifts are items that normally bring particularly high levels of moral tax. This may include goods that appear overpriced and therefore bring particularly bad feelings of guilt upon purchase.Curiously, it’s not about the actual amount of money spent. What matters most are the emotions brought by the gift (or the guilt taken away). Consider the following example as an explanation.For weeks, Anne has had her eye on a pair of designer shoes. They look incredibly stylish and go perfectly with her new winter coat. She’s got enough money to pay for the shoes but doesn’t think the purchase is necessary. After all, she already owns three other pairs of winter footwear. Still, Anne makes sure to mention the shoes to her husband Alex, and on Christmas morning she is overjoyed to open a large box containing the shoes. She is happy with the gift even though Alex bought it from their family bank account.Looking at it from an economic point of view, Anne’s happiness doesn’t make any sense. Since she shares a bank account with her husband, it doesn’t matter who buys the shoes. The loss of money is the same either way. How can Anne be happy with Alex making a purchase she previously thought unnecessary? It all comes down to moral tax. By making the payment on Anne’s behalf, Alex cuts her wife’s pain of payment. Anne gets to enjoy her precious shoes guilt-free.The experts suggest that the best gifts are things that people really want but refuse themselves to avoid feeling guilty. What are your partner’s secret wants and guilty pleasures? Unfortunately, that’s the one question you need to answer yourself.12．What does the moral tax refer to in the text?A．The guilt of receiving an expensive gift.B．The problems caused by overspending.C．The feeling of satisfaction after making a purchase.D．The emotional pain coming from spending money.13．Why does Anne refuse to buy the shoes herself?A．She has got a similar pair.B．She is influenced by the moral tax.C．She decides to put off satisfaction.D．She only wants to use her husband’s money.14．What may an economist think of Anne’s excitement?A．Unreasonable.B．Unreal.C．Interesting.D．Expected. 15．What do the experts suggest about the best gifts?A．They should be practical and useful.B．They should be expensive to show appreciation.C．They should be items that people really want but avoid buying due to guilt.D．They should be items that don’t cost people too much but are meaningful.There is nothing quite as painful as being rejected. No one likes being rejected. 16 And it’s just a part of life, so it’s important to learn some information about it. The following are some suggestions that can help you deal with it.Do not expect everyone to like you. This is an impossible expectation. 17 We can’t all feel connected to each other at all times. Once you have made peace with the realization that inclusion is not always the way things will turn out, you may start feeling calmer and less reactive and hurt.Sometimes we make each other angry and may be rejected. 18 We can use the phrase “cooling down” to replace rejection. It might not only be more right but it might also feel kinder and gentler.19 It helps us not only understand our effects on others a bit more but every painful experience encourages us to learn new interpersonal skills and to have more empathy (共情) for the experiences of others.You do not need to fix everything. Sometimes, it makes sense to sit with some uncertainty and ambiguity (模棱两可). Even if you want to repair everything, this is impossible. Work on learning to be comfortable with a bit of uncertainty. 20A．You don’t like everyone, do you?B．It is an excellent skill to have and teach.C．Experiencing rejection is not always a bad thing.D．We always get opportunities to meet new people.E．But rejection is served up in all sorts of ways and is never easy.F．However, rejection suggests that you should reconsider the relationship.G．If so, a cooling down period of several days or weeks may be necessary.二、完形填空Growing up in a village in southern Nigeria, Lauritta Onye was sure she was going to be a star some day.

福建省莆田华侨中学2024-2025学年高二上学期10月月考英语试题一、阅读理解Tired of the busy life in Las Vegas, Nevada for nearly ten years, my family and I decided to slow things down. We wanted to lead an environmentally- friendly life. None of us felt this could be accomplished where we were living and we all agreed that a move to the country would be great for everyone.Before long we set about looking for a home in Yucca, a very small town of less than 100 people, where it is normal to record temperatures above 46°C for days on end in summer and it is very wild with practically no snowfall in winter.When I called to inquire about the property, I was informed that there was no electricity available in the area. What? No electricity? I almost denied the idea immediately. But what better way is there to go green? After giving it a second thought, we decided to put in an offer and moved in on Thanksgiving Day.When we first moved to the property, we did some remodeling and stayed in our motor home. We were faced with real challenges at the time. But the frustrations just made us work harder. We slowly got things fixed and moved into the house after 38 days.While living here for the past four months has been a big adjustment, we benefit a lot from living off grid. I think one of the most educational lessons is teaching my kids the importance of conservation. They used to take power for granted. But now they realize the importance of power, together with water and gas. We start taking quicker showers, doing only full loads of laundry, turning off the water while brushing our teeth. And this has a chain effect. We are also trying to make other changes which include reducing the amount of trash we generate by recycling, growing our own organic vegetables and re-purposing things that we would have normally thrown.Overall, going without electricity has been great for our family. I hope that once my kids move out of the house, they will keep the habits that they have learned here.1．Why did the family move to the small town?A．To inspire the kids.B．To try a new lifestyle.C．To cut living expenses.D．To escape air pollution.2．What can be learned about the small town?A．It has an aging population.B．It lacks access to water.C．It has hot summer days.D．It lacks educational resources.3．What does the underlined phrase “living off grid” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?A．Dealing with poverty.B．Dealing with garbage.C．Living without pollution.D．Living without electricity.4．What is the text mainly about?A．A family switching to a simple life.B．A family helping the locals go green.C．A family traveling around the country.D．A family teaching the kids hands- on skills.According to Carol Henger, an urban ecologist at Fordham University, around 20-30 coyotes (郊狼) live in New York City, which was first reported by the New York Times.According to the journal, coyotes have been spotted wandering (游荡的) areas of NYC as early as 1994, with proof of breeding groups first established in 2016. NYC wasn’t originally home to coyotes, as most of the species came from the Great Plains and Southwest.Dr. Henger estimates a total of 20 — 30 coyotes are now residing in the city. Many of the coyotes currently living in the city can actually be traced back to the original group that first arrived in the Bronx, so they truly are multi-generational New Yorkers.The curious creatures can cover as much as 10 miles of open space per day — picture the route from Wall Street to the top of Central Park.So where are they living in NYC? Well, according to Urban Coyote Research, urban coyotes like to keep their distance from humans, choosing habitats (栖息地) in parks or wooded patches.Specifically in NYC, Dr. Henger discovered coyote feces (粪便) mainly around green spaces in the Bronx and areas throughout Queens over a 10-year span, shares the New York Times. In recent years, NYC has also seen coyotes wandering in Central Park.As for diet, urban coyotes had a more species-rich diet than the non-urban coyotes. From plants to rabbits, human leftovers to rodents rats, urban coyotes actually have quite a diverse diet.And though only a limited number of rats were traced in urban coyote feces according to Dr. Henger, at least something’s out there dealing with them until the city hires a rat catcher! 5．What does the text suggest about the coyotes’ habitats?A．They are native to NYC．B．They were first discovered in Central Park.C．They often change habitats throughout their lives.D．They originally came from the Great Plains and Southwest.6．What does the underlined word “residing” in paragraph 3 mean?A．Sleeping.B．Hiding.C．Living.D．Visiting.7．What can be known about urban coyotes?A．They are unfamiliar with NYC．B．They can wander up to 10 miles in a day.C．They prefer to live in populated urban areas.D．They have a limited diet consisting of only plants.8．What is the last paragraph mainly about?A．The varied diet of urban coyotes.B．Safety tips on living with coyotes.C．Coyotes’ daily movements in NYC．D．The arrival and settlement of coyotes.When Mayumi Watanabe tells people what she does for a living, most people widen their eyes in disbelief, not just because she is quite tiny. “I can see they’re thinking, ‘How can such a tiny woman drive a big truck? ’ ” Watanabe, who is 152 cm tall, said as she prepared for the busy run-up to be a truck driver.When she started driving her truck, Watanabe was an exception, as all her co-workers were men. Figuring out routes in the days before E-maps was not the only aspect of the job with which she struggled. Expressway truck stops did not have women’s toilets, and heavy-vehicle cabs appeared to have been designed entirely with male drivers in mind.Watanabe is now a director of Heartful, the first among Japan’s 62, 000 trucking firms to employ only female drivers. Japan’s $300 bn freight and logistics (货运和物流) field is looking to women to address what industry insiders believe could be disastrous changes in the aging labour market.In an attempt to make trucking, with its punishingly long hours, more attractive, theJapanese government will limit drivers’ overtime at 960 hours a year, or 80 hours a month, from April. However, transport companies warn that it will cause an outflow from a job in which most drivers depend on large amounts of overtime to make ends meet. But for Watanabe, there are also signs of a bright side in the industry.In the two decades that Watanabe, 43, has been driving trucks around her company’s base in Fukui, toilet facilities have improved, while improved seat design and steering (操纵) technology have made her job much easier. With more women driving large trucks, companies are starting to customize their vehicles to better suit them, including fitting cabs with curtains to give the drivers more privacy during rest breaks.Watanabe’s extra hours will fall sharply from April. “A lot of drivers will just quit,” she said. But she has no intention of joining them. “Driving gives me a sense of freedom.”9．What aspect of Mayumi Watanabe surprises people the most?A．Her great enthusiasm for trucks.B．Her positive attitude towards life.C．Her busy schedule at the end of the year.D．Her presence in a male-centered profession. 10．What did Watanabe struggle to do in her daily work?A．Develop competence in driving a truck.B．Get along well with her male co-workers.C．Fit into the uncomfortable working conditions.D．Determine driving routes through digital maps.11．What is the significance of women in Japan’s freight and logistics industry?A．They help ease the labour shortage.B．They improve customer satisfaction.C．They promote equality in the workplace.D．They contribute to better labour management. 12．What is paragraph 5 mainly about?A．Technological advancements in trucking.B．Benefits of having more women in trucking.C．Positive changes made in the trucking industry.D．Reasonable demands from women truck drivers.You’ll make new friends in each stage of your life. Some of them will come and go, while others will last for the rest of your life. 13There are many benefits of having strong friendships. According to experts, many people regret not keeping friendships going and end up living a life with no close friends or evenenduring mental and physical sufferings. 14 People who have healthy friendships tend to enjoy life more and may even live longer.15 There are a lot of ways to make new friends that can stay with you for the rest of your life. Look for people who share things with you. If you have kids, join a mom’s group, or sign your child up for classes where you’ll naturally meet other parents. 16 You share your career and will have a lot to talk about while also having built-in opportunities to spend time with each other.Sometimes it’s a good idea to let a friendship go, even if you’ve been friends for a long time. If one party isn’t making an effort to keep things going, it can lead to feelings of hurt and betrayal, and it might be time to let things cool off and pursue other friendships. 17 Besides, it can encourage you to focus on the partnerships that are healthy and where both of you are committed to keeping it going for your entire life.A．Lifelong friendships are what most people desire.B．You don’t have to be mean or harsh to get this done.C．If you are lacking in good friendships, it’s not too late.D．You can also make friends with people you work with.E．So making time for your friendships is vital to a healthy life.F．Sign up for a dancing class to meet those with the same passion.G．While this can be sad, it can actually improve your quality of life.二、完形填空Wang Yaping, 41, became China’s first female astronaut to conduct a spacewalk on November. 2021.Wang’s dream of becoming an astronaut was 18 by Yang Liwei’s 2003 space flight, which was China’s first manned space mission.“Now China has its first man in space, when will our country have its first 19 .” thought Wang, who was then working as a fighter pilot in China’s air force.After years of 20 training and excellent performance in various 21 , in May 2010, Wang became a member of China’s first batch of female astronauts.

AIn Japan’s capital city of Tokyo, earthquake danger limits the height of buildings. The city has spread out so far and the traffic has become so heavy that it is very difficult to go from one place to another. The price of the land, too, has skyrocketed. All these explains why a group of Japanese land developers came to the conclusion that there was nowhere to go but down.
