A textbook.cYawning is something we all do - maybe because we're bored carrying out boring tasks or because we're tired.Sometimes,just seeing other people yawn can set you off.But is this biological function really contagious, and why do we do it in the first place?Many of us think we open our mouths when we yawn to take in more oxygen,but in fact it appears there is no clear biological reason.According to BBC Bitesize,new research suggests it might be because yawning cools the brain down and prevents it from overheating,much like the fan in your laptop.This might be why we're more likely to feel sleepy and yawn in warm temperatures.What is clear is that we yawn more when we*re exhausted and ready for a nap,and we can't control when we do it - once we start,there's no stopping us!But it's also true that yawning is a very contagious behavior.John Drury,a researcher from Sussex University found in his research that there is a connection with our social group and how close we are to the people in it.If we identify with the person who exhibits the behavior,we are likely to copy it too.Another research by the University of Nottingham in 2017 found similar results.They asked volunteers to watch other people yawn.They found their ability to resist yawning when others around them yawned was limited.And the urge to yawn was increased when people were told they couldn't.They also found,when using electrical stimulation,that they were able to increase people's desire to yawn.These findings,they say,could be useful in treating other conditions likeTourette's,which involve the same area of the brain.What is certain is that a yawn can creep up on us at any time even when we think we*re not tired -but,Ihope,not when you're reading this article!8.Which of the following is the closest in meaning to the underlined word "contagious" ?A.Infectious.B. Active.C. Dangerous.D. Efficient.9.According to a new research,we yawn because.A.we are too exhausted.B.our brain needs more oxygen.C.we are bored with difficult tasks.D.our brain needs to be cooled down.10.What is the similarity between John Drury*s findings and those of the university ofNottingham ?A.Humans can't stop yawning as it is beneficial.B.When told not to yawn,we will yawn less frequently.ing electrical stimulation can stimulate people to yawn.D.We are more likely to yawn when someone around us yawns.11.What is the text mainly about?A.The reasons for yawning.B.The benefits of studying yawning.C.The necessity of yawning.D.The similarity of the studies on yawning.DMany college students turn to ADHD （注意缺陷障碍）medicine during the exam week,which is regarded as "smart drugs" that will help their academic （学术的）performance.The thinking is that if the drugs help students with ADHD improve their focus,they should provide the same benefit for people who don't have the disorder.But a new study shows that drugs can actually damage brain function of healthy students who take the drug hoping to boost their intelligence. "It's not a smart drug which will suddenly improve their ability to understand information they read," said Lisa Weyandt,a professor at the University of Rhode Island. To test whether this effect is real or not,researchers organized 13 students to take part in two five-hour study sessions （一段时间）in the lab.The students took the standard 30 mg ADHD drugs before one session,and a sugar pill before the other.Students on ADHD drugs did experience an increase in theirblood pressure and heart rates. "The medicine was having an effect on their brain," Weyandt said.The students also showed an improvement in their ability to focus,the researchers found.However,students on ADHD drugs experienced no improvement in reading comprehension,reading fluency or knowledge reviews,compared to when they'd taken a sugar pill. "We read aloud stories to them and asked them to recall information from the stories," she said. "That didn't improve." Worse,the ADHD drug actually harms students' memory.It's often misused because people pull all-nighters and they're tired,and they think it's going to keep them awake.Maybe it does,but it*s certainly not going to help their academic work.The brain is still developing until the mid to late 20s.It's important to keep it healthy.There's also a chance that ADHD drugs could endanger a studenfs heart health.12.Why do some college students take ADHD drugs ?A. To improve their sleeping.B. To get higher marks.C. To make them feel relaxed.D. To treat brain disorder.13.Which of the following is closest in meaning to the word "boost" in Paragraph 2?A. Analyze.B. Affect.C. Improve.D. Understand.14.What effect did ADHD drugs have on the students in the experiment?A.They became more focused.B.Their blood pressure was reduced.C.Their reading fluency was greatly raised.D.They could remember better and more quickly.15.Where can we read this text?A. In a drug instruction.B. In a biology textbook.The Ways to Avoid Fighting with Your Mom Life is a struggle,but if you have a bad relationship with your mother,you should cool your passion,because mother-children relationships are very important.

河南省周口市鹿邑县2024-2025学年高二上学期10月月考英语试题
河南省周口市鹿邑县2024-2025学年高二上学期10月月考英语试题一、阅读理解If you’re wondering why indoor skate parks are becoming the hottest trend among the young ones, just think about the incredible benefits they offer:● Safety First: Indoor skate parks are designed with safety in mind, featuring soft ramps (斜坡), padded areas, and well-maintained obstacles, ensuring your kids can skate without the worry of weather-related risks.● Community Spirit: They are not just about skateboarding; they’re energetic communities where kids can make new friends, learn from each other, and share a positive atmosphere.● Professional Guidance: Most indoor parks have experienced instructors ready to help your kids learn and improve in a structured and supportive environment.Choosing the Best Indoor Skate Park for Your FamilyNow that you’re all stoked about indoor skate parks, it’s time to find the perfect one for your family’s needs. Here’s a checklist to help you make an informed choice:● Variety of Features: Look for a park with diverse areas and obstacles that cater to (迎合) all skill levels, from beginners to advanced skaters.● Cleanliness and Maintenance: A well-kept park is a happy park. Check out reviews or visit in person to ensure the facility is clean and well-maintained.● Staff Credentials (资质): Inquire about the qualifications of the staff and coaches. It’s essential they have the experience and skills to provide a safe and supportive learning environment.● Opening Times: Make sure the park’s schedule matches with your family’s routine. Consider memberships or punch cards if you plan on becoming regulars!● Snack Facilities: Active kids are hungry kids. See if there’s a cafe or snack bar to refuel after an energetic session.By keeping these points in mind, you’ll be able to find an indoor skate park that not only fuels the passion for skateboarding in your children but also becomes a regular spot for familybonding and fun.1．Who will most probably sign up for the indoor skate parks?A．A man caring about maintenance of a park.B．A designer interested in snack facilities.C．A kid eager to go for outdoor activities.D．A mother motivating her kids to learn skateboarding.2．What can we know about kids skating in indoor skate parks?A．They needn’t be concerned about weather’s impact.B．They can play skateboards with parents whenever.C．They will gain guidance from foreign instructors.D．They must compete with each other regularly.3．Which of the following may not be necessarily considered?A．The qualifications of the staff.B．Opening hours including holidays.C．Cleaning and safeguard of facilities.D．Accommodation and hotels.It is my first time playing the game, which I know nothing about. I am not a soccer fan, and every time I watch a match, I fall asleep within 10 minutes, without exception.Before I went to The Other Green’s salon held by La Otra — a women-themed bookstore in Beijing — last month, playing soccer never would have appeared on my bucket list. I regularly do yoga, cycle and swim, which, in my eyes, are good exercises for women, while soccer, definitely, is for men.How can soccer become a feminist (女权主义的) topic? What prevents women from participating in the game? Or is it really a game only for men? Keeping these questions in mind, I step into the salon and meet five members from the Beijing-based WM female soccer club. They look wonderful, with sunny smiles and athletic figures. And their passion and confidence impress me when they talk about how soccer has changed their lives.What’s more, they all faced societal prejudices about women playing soccer and want to break gender gaps. A tough player since primary school, Xiao Da used to be the only girl on the court and was excluded from school training because there was no girls’ team at her school.Being a working mother for seven years, my life has been limited to the office and home,and when I heard about the physical and mental benefits that it brings, I hoped soccer can make a difference in my boring life.This is where the story starts. After an hour of warm-up exercises and practising kicking a ball around, here comes the match time. I try to shoot twice, miss both times and I hurt my right leg for perhaps the following two weeks. I still feel the pain. But I also feel that, for me, happiness is real on the court. Soccer is more than just a game.4．What impression do the female soccer members leave on the author?A．They’re energetic and confident.B．They’re angry with gender prejudice.C．They’re always treated fairly.D．They’re respected by others.5．What does the underlined phrase “excluded from” in Paragraph 4 mean?A．Accepted.B．Refused.C．Elected.D．Protected.6．Why does the author take part in the soccer team?A．To satisfy her own curiosity.B．To be different from others.C．To make life more meaningful.D．To escape from the real world.7．What does the author imply in the last paragraph?A．She will give up playing soccer.B．She is determined to teach soccer.C．She takes a fancy to soccer.D．She gets more hurt than happiness from soccer.Most of us like shortcuts — the ones that get us to a place faster, whether we have to walk through a few trees or jump over a wall. But how far would you go to make a really good shortcut? Probably not as far as the Americans did when they built the Panama Canal, giving ships a quicker route between the Atlantic Ocean and the Pacific. When it opened in 1914, the canal cut the journey time from the east coast of the US to the west coast by as much as 15,000 kilometres.This was not an easy shortcut. Panama had been chosen mainly because it was the narrowest part of Central America. But the land was mountainous and full of tropical rain forests and it was still more than 80 kilometres wide. It’s said that almost 6,000 workers died from making the canal between 1904 and 1913, but the real number is probably much higher.As well as the difficult, dangerous job they had, those workers — many from the Caribbean — had to deal with heat, mosquitoes (蚊子), snakes and lots of rain. The result was a canal thathas been called one of the wonders of the modern world.Today, a ship entering the canal has to pass through three sets of locks. These are used like stairs, and they’re needed because the canal is not of the same height all the way through. The locks use lots of fresh water to lift up the boats-on average, 9 billion liters every day from lakes next to the canal.And although Panama is a wet country, the climate is changing, and there is less water now than there used to be. The Panama Canal is still a shortcut for now, but it’s in danger.8．How does the author develop Paragraph 1?A．By giving an example.B．By asking a question.C．By referring to old writings.D．By making an assumption.9．Why was the Panama Canal called a hard shortcut?A．Panama has complex geography characters.B．6, 000 workers died each year during its building process.C．Panama always came across terrible weather.D．Unknown wildlife increased challenges of making it.10．What do you think of the locks using fresh water?A．It is a waste of natural resource.B．It makes lakes next to the canal in danger.C．It is a must to keep boats run smoothly.D．It is a good way to deal with changeable climate.11．Which of the following is the best title for the text?A．Everyone Is Willing to Take ShortcutsB．The Great Canal Facing Climate ChangesC．The Panama Canal Is an Important ShortcutD．The Old Canal Lacking Water to Lift BoatsMore than 2,200 years ago, a battle between the Romans and the Carthaginians took place at sea off northwestern Sicily. Rome was victorious, defeating the other military ships and ending the war. While so much was destroyed at the time, scientists have recently discovered a shipwreck that was sunk in the battle with at least 114 animal species living on the ship’s ram (夯锤).The ram’s discovery is an important archaeological discovery. But finding it to be a host for so much underwater life also provides great insight for scientists studying how marine animals colonize (聚居) empty sites and slowly create diverse and rich communities there.The ram was recovered in 2017, located between 75 and 90 metres deep. It’s bronze and hollow, allowing it to accumulate (积累) sea creatures both inside and outside. Several years later the ram was cleaned and restored by researchers. All the marine animals found inside and outside the ram were collected, along with blocks of sediment (沉积物) and hardened materials from the same area.Scientists have been working to compare the species found in and around the ram with those found in similar Mediterranean habitats. They reconstructed how it had likely been colonized. “We conclude that the primary ‘constructors’ in this community are organisms which attach themselves directly to the wreck’s surface,” said Edoardo Casoli from Sapienza University of Rome. “Then there are ‘habitants’ which aren’t attached but move freely between empty spaces in the superstructure. What we don’t yet know exactly is the order in which these organisms colonize wrecks.”“Younger shipwrecks (遇难船只) typically host a less diverse community than their environment,” said Maria Flavia Gravina, another researcher. “By comparison, our ram is much more representative of the natural habitat. It can act as a novel kind of sampling tool for scientists, which effectively acts as an ‘ecological memory’ of colonization.”12．Why is the battle between the Romans and the Carthaginians mentioned?A．To lead in the topic.B．To draw a conclusion.C．To arouse the sympathy about the war.D．To clarify the serious damage caused by the war.13．How did scientists do researches about the marine animals on the ram?A．By creating the post-war situations.B．By comparing the habitats of 114 species.C．By restoration, reconstruction and comparison.D．By putting the organisms colonize wrecks in order.14．What does the underlined word “It” refer to in the last paragraph?A．The ship’s ram.B．The marine environment.C．A less diverse community.D．The natural habitat of marine animals. 15．Where is the text probably taken from?A．A guidebook to a sea exploration.B．An educational website.C．A government document.D．A natural science magazine.How to Introduce Friends to Other FriendsYou may find that you have two friends that you really want to introduce to each other.16 .

河南省洛阳第一高级中学2014-2015学年高二上学期10月月考 英语 Word版含答案
高二10份月考英语试卷考试时间：120分钟第一卷阅读理解第一节(共15小题，每题3分，满分45分)阅读下列短文，从所给答案中选出最佳选项。
ABy today's standards, my mobile phone is pretty rubbish. It's a Nokia 1616. If that doesn't mean much to you (it's not the kind of phone you see advertised on television), all you need to know is that it's a small, not very heavy device with which you can send and receive telephone calls and text messages. It also has a very handy torch on the top for when you can't find your keys, or when you drop something on the floor in the cinema. Other than that, my phone doesn't do much. Well, it has an alarm, and it probably has a calculator and things like that, but it's nothing compared to a smartphone. Why would I want one of those?I have often been told that the big advantage of having a smartphone is that "you can do everything with them!" But when was the last time you saw someone doing "everything" with a smartphone? Okay, so they may have an endless list of functions, but generally they are used for checking social networking sites, playing games, and receiving and replying to emails. I'm happy just doing all of those things at home on my laptop.As far as I can tell, the best thing about having a smartphone is that you can be connected to the Internet all the time. Don't get me wrong, I love the internet, but I just don't see the point of constantly being online. I can't remember the last time I received a Facebook update which was so very urgent that I had to read it as soon as it appeared, and I can't imagine ever having a job which was so important that I would need to read work-related emails immediately. I would think that if someone needed me urgently, they would just ring me rather than send an email. And my trusty Nokia can manage that. One of the most peculiar effects of the smartphone is, in my opinion, the newly-found addiction to maps and navigation (导航) systems. Is there anything more boring than knowing exactly where you are all of the time?! How do you get to know an area if you don't get lost there a few times? And if you are dependent on online maps, what happens to those great places you find just by chance? You can't exactly find out from Google maps the journey from "here" to" that hidden cafe with the tasty-looking cakes" , or to "that pond next to the church which looks really pretty in the evening sun. " It is, of course, true that we all occasionally need to be pointed in the right direction, but I find that there are often real life humans you can ask.There are many benefits of having a very basic mobile phone, like the fact that it cost me about twenty pounds, and that I don't have to worry too much about it being stolen .But the main benefit has to be the fact that it provides me with the word 'greatest excuse for my bad habits’. Whether it's turning up late to events ,or getting lost on a trip, or missing buses or trains ,or forgetting about an appointment at work ,I'm pretty sure I'm covered with the following explanation: “I’m really sorry, I don't have a smartphone."1. The writer uses his Nokia 1616 mainly to _______.A. play online gamesB. do calculating workC. check social network sitesD. make calls and text messages2. It can be inferred from the above passage that_______.A. work-related emails should be answered immediatelyB. a laptop and a smartphone share many functionsC. smartphones should always be connected to the netD. a Facebook update is usually very important3. According to the passage, if you use navigation systems, you may _____A. miss some really wonderful placesB. find a boring trip actually excitingC. be persuaded to eat in a certain caféD. be misled to a totally wrong place4. The writer’s purpose for writing this article is to______A. explain why he doesn’t want a smartphoneB. warn readers of the risks of using smartphonesC. complain about the troubles caused by smartphonesD. infoem readers of the latest development of mobile phonesBSome say college is wasted on the young. So many of us look back at our own college years and realize what we could h ave done differently to make the most of them. While we can’t go back, we certainly can offer our sons and daughters our best advice to help them make the right choices in college. Hopefully, they will have fewer regrets than we do. Following are five guidelines parents can share with their college-bound kids to put the whole experience in perspective.EDUCATION IS YOUR FIRST PRIORITYAs soon as you arrive on campus, there will be competing interests. Feel free to check them out but always remember that you are there first and foremost for your education. Go to class prepared and on time. Be engaged during class. Make sure your professor knows you and realizes that you care.BE RESPONSIBLEThere are many layers of responsibility. Do what you say you will do and, if you can’t, confess it early and communicate clearly. But being responsible isn’t just about meeting your commitments; it is also about taking care of you, your body, and your friends. For example, more than 1800 college students die annually from alcohol-related injuries. Look out for yourself and other people. Make moderate, sensible decisions so you aren’t reeling from(受…影响) the consequences later.TAKE THE OPPORTUNITYIncredible opportunities will present themselves: studying abroad, interning at a unique place, trying new things. Don’t let fear prevent you from taking advantage of them. There may never be so much time or as many resources devoted to your betterment again in your life. Say yes to opportunities that will help you grow.FIND AND BE A MENTORSome of the best lessons available to us can come outside of the classroom in the form of a mentor(良师益友). One of the most powerful growth opportunities is being a mentor. Early on, find someone on campus who you feel can help you grow and develop a relationship with him or her. Also find someone for you to mentor. You will reinforce and enrich your own learning experience by teaching someone else.GET THE JOB DONEIt is natural to occasionally feel you want to quit, when it makes more sense to you to go find a full-time job. Resist that urge. As Jocelyn Negron-Rios, a mother of two, who is currently comp leting her degree, advises, “No matter how difficult it seems, keep at it because however insurmountable（不可克服的）it feels now multiply that by 10,000 and that is how it feels when you are in your thirties with a full-time job and a family and are trying to pursue a degree.”5. According to the passage, the most important thing for college students is ______.A. taking part in different activitiesB. working hard to get a degreeC. seizing every chance to try new thingsD. improving themselves by learning from the others6.Which of the following about college life is true?A. Passing on what you’ve learned i n college can help you enrich your learning experience.B. Make sure that you are responsible for yourself rather than others.C. Professors will not assess your performances in class but the grades you get in exams.D. You can make full use of the opportunity whenever you want.7.What can we infer from the words said by Jocelyn in the last paragraph?A. Persistence is the key to success when you meet with difficulties in your learning process.B. It is better if you gain more working experience before you finish your education.C. As long as you work hard, you can gain a degree even when you are in your thirties.D. Youth is the best time to learn since you have less burden.8.What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To give some rules for the college students.B. To call on the students to make full use of college years.C. To summarize some tips for parents to share with their children.D. To analyze the benefits and difficulties of college life.CWith the popularity of Harry Potter novels, the number of children applying to boarding schools has risen, many of them hoping to find their own version of Hogwarts. However, others have interpreted this trend as a reaction to longer working hours and the break up of more marriages. The boarding schools of fiction are presented as one long midnight feast with pillow fights making firm friendships. However, some people say the reality is children having more homesickness and a lack of individual attention. Modern boarding schools have done much to get rid of the image of the mass dormitories with 40 or more beds in one room, some going as far as providing private rooms with bathrooms. Similarly, they make great announcements for their academic advantage, particularly in view of the increase in exams, homework and university entrance requirements facing children wishing to succeed in the modern world.Alongside these more conventional schools, two types of boarding schools have also become more popular recently. Sports academies and stage schools seek to cater for children with particular interests and talents, while so-called troubled-teens have been able to turn to a range of religious or wilderness schools to solve their problematic behavior.Boarding schools allow children a safe space in which to accomplish greater control and independence over their daily lives. Teachers and staff can look after and support but they are unlikely to be over-protective. This can be a great preparation for university or for working away from home in later life as it provides an intermediate step between childhood and full independence.However, Parents are a child’s most natural support and best role models to learn from. If they are separated from them for long periods of time, this may damage their relationship and leave the child feeling anxious or alone. Schools are unlikely to be able to copy the detailed knowledge of each individual child that a parent has and therefore cannot be as effective in supporting the child.To sum up, boarding schools have both their advantages and disadvantages, so it is up to you to decide whether to send your children to boarding schools or not.9. What do we know from the passage?A. More and more children go and visit Hogwarts on their own.B. Pillow fights in boarding schools make firm friendships in reality.C. More children want to go to boarding schools because of Harry Potter novels.D. There aren’t special schools for the particularly talented children.10. What kind of schools may be the most suitable for the so-called troubled-teens?A. sports academiesB. Wilderness schoolsC. Conventional schoolsD. Stage schools11. We learn from Paragraph 4 that __________.A. teachers of boarding schools are the best examples for children to learn fromB. children can be more independent if they are separated from their parentsC. parents know their children better than teachers of boarding schoolsD. schools are much more effective than parents in supporting children12. What is the author’s opinion of board ing schools?A. NeutralB. NegativeC. PositiveD. CriticalDIt was a winter morning, just a couple of weeks before Christmas 2005. While most people were warming up their cars, Trevor, my husband, had to get up early to ride his bike four kilometers away from home to work. On arrival, he parked his bike outside the back door as he usually does. After putting in 10 hours of labor, he returned to find his bike gone.The bike, a black Kona 18 speed, was our only transport. Trevor used it to get to work, putting in 60-hour weeks to support his young family. And the bike was also used to get groceries（食品杂货），saving us from having to walk long distances from where we live.I was so sad that someone would steal our bike that I wrote to the newspaper and told them our story. Shortly after that, several people in our area offered to help. One wonderful stranger even bought a bike, then called my husband to pick it up. Once again my husband had a way to get to and from his job. It really is an honor that a complete stranger would go out of their way for someone they have never met before.People say that a smile can be passed from one person to another, but acts of kindness from strangers are even more so. This experience has had a spreading effect in our lives because it strengthened our faith in humanity（人性）as a whole. And it has influenced（影响）us to be more mindful of ways we, too, can share with others. No matter how big or how small, an act of kindness shows that someone cares. And the results can be everlasting.13. Why was the bike so important to the couple?A. They used it for work and daily life.B. It was their only possession.C. It was a nice Kona 18 speed.D. The man’s job was bike racing.14. We can infer from the text that ____________.A. the couple worked 60 hours a week.B. people were busy before ChristmasC. the stranger brought over the bikeD. life was hard for the young family.15. What do the couple learn from their experience?A. Strangers are usually of little help.B. One should take care of their bike.C. News reports make people famous.D. An act of kindness can mean a lot.第二节（共5小题，每题3分，满分15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。

海南省海口市琼山区海南中学2024-2025学年高二上学期10月月考英语试题
海南省海口市琼山区海南中学2024-2025学年高二上学期10月月考英语试题一、阅读理解What’s best to read this year?Secrets I Know (Random House Children’s Books, ages 3-7)This tale written by Kallie George and pictured by Paola Zakimi follows a young girl and her little friend as they move from rain to sunshine, from pleasant loneliness to sweet friendship, and finally from adventures on earth to an exploration of the sky above. The colors of Zakimi’s pencildrawings are calming and George’s poetic text tells her story with simple language.Pandora (Clarion Books, ages 3-7)The award-winning author Victoria Turnbull tells the story of a little fox Pandora. Pandora lives alone. She makes herself a handsome home, but no one ever comes to visit. Then one day something falls from the sky -- a bird with a broken wing. Little by little, the bird helps Pandora feel less lonely. Turnbull’s watercolor and colored pencil drawings make this story of friendship and growth an atmospheric delight.Prince and Pirate (G.P. Putnam’s Sons Books for Younger Readers, ages 5-8)A different kind of friendship is described in this book, by Charlotte Gunnufson with pictures by Mike Lowery. Prince and Pirate are a pair of mismatched fish put into the same aquarium（水族馆). At first it seems that they’ll never learn to be friends. It’s only when both take pity on a frightened dogfish that they learn the benefits of cooperation, and soon all three fish become good friends.The Giant Jumperee (Dinal Books, ages 3-5)The story was written by the award-winning British author Julia Donaldson. When Rabbit hears a loud voice bellowing（吼叫）threateningly from inside a cave, he gathers Cat, Bear and Elephant to help him decide what to do. But it’s Mama Frog who fearlessly confronts（面对）the unknown creature. Helen Oxenbury’s soft watercolors creat a beautiful countryside and her characterizations of the animals are impressive.1．Who pictured the book Pandora?A．Kallie George.B．Victoria Turnbull.C．Paola Zakimi.D．Charlotte Gunnufson.2．Which book tells a story about courage?A．Pandora.B．Secrets I Know.C．Prince and Pirate.D．The Giant Jumperee.3．What do the four books have in common?A．Their publishers are the same one.B．Their characters are all animals.C．They all have pencil drawings.D．They are all for younger readersA movie about rural soccer players focuses on teenage girls and seeks to inspire audiences to follow dreams. In late 2018, Fei Yu, a director from Sichuan Province, went into the poor villages of Yunnan Province in search of inspiration. During the journey, one idea attracted him as he watched children playing soccer in a village, which is located around 110 kilometers north of Lijiang.As a gentle wind swept-through the valley, Fei listened to the faraway sounds of horses and children and a clear image began to form in his mind — that a group of children playing soccer on the village roofs (屋顶). That image inspired the opening scene of Football on the Roof, and after taking home the special award in the films market project section of the 2023 China Golden Rooster and Hundred Fowers Film Festival, the film was on across the Chinese mainland on April 20.The film tells the journey of a teenage girl, Aime, who’s crazy about soccer. She has the hope that by advancing to the finals in a competition, her mother, who has left thefr rural hometown to work in a big city, might see her on television. Facing many challenges, she helps her elder sister and her classmates to start a soccer team and asks a fruit seller who used to be a soccer star to coach them. Her determination pays off as she is finally selected to join the team and takes part in an important match.During Fei Yu’s search for inspiration, he met a girl, who was eager to invite the director to her home, showed him around, and used a long wooden stick to pick fresh lemons off a tree as a treat. The director was deeply moved when he realized that the grl, who had been left in the care of a grandfather who’s continually busy with rural difficult tasks, longed to feel more connected toher parents working in a faraway city.She became the source for the female main characters in the movie. Traveling to many areas, from the cities of Lijiang and Kaiyuan, to Chuxiong, Fei Yu and his team chose around 10, 000 students in 203 schools before selecting all main characters.“The shoot has ended, but the young girl’s love for soccer has not. She has found a new direction to shoot for in life. This is very meaningful,” says Fei, adding that he hopes the audience will also find strength and courage to realize their dreams through the film.4．Why did Fei Yu go into the village?A．To teach soccer.B．To help the poor girls.C．To achieve an award.D．To try to find inspiration.5．According to the passage, what do we know about the film?A．Aime goes to the village near Lijiang.B．Aime isn’t chosen to join the soccer team finally.C．The film named Football on the Roof is successful.D．The film tells the journey of a boy’s passion about soccer.6．Why did Aime hope to advance to the finals in a competition?A．To show her love for soccer.B．To leave the rural hometown.C．To be seen by her mother on TV.D．To be coached by a former soccer star.7．When realizing the girl longed to feel more connected to her parents, Fei Yu felt________.A．touched B．interested C．inspired D．amazed8．Which would be the best title for this passage?A．A Beneficial Stress B．A Heartwarming GoalC．A Wonderful Teamwork D．A Meaningful CompetitionTeachers were shocked when ChatGPT appeared a year ago. This AI chat robot can write clear, well-researched essays in response to given questions, forcing educators around the world to rethink their evaluation (测评) methods. A few countries brought back pen-and-paper exams, and some schools asked students to do their homework at school, after learning about a subject athome.There are risks, but some educators think that ChatGPT and other large language models(LLMs)can be powerful learning tools. They could help students by providing a personalized guiding that is available at any time and might be accessible to more students than human teachers would be. Or they could help teachers and students by making information that only exists in the textbooks much easier to find and understand.There are still probkems to be solved. Questions remain about whether LLMscan be made correct and reliable enough to be trusted as learning helpers. It’s too soon to know what their final effect on education will be, but more institutions (研究机构) need to explore ChatGPT’s advantages and dangers, and share what they are leaning, or their students might miss aut on a valuable tool.Despite the risks, educators should not avoid using LLMs. Rather, they need to teach students the chat robot’s strengths and weaknesses and support institutions’ efforts to improve the models for educatton-specific purposes. This could mean building task-specific versions of LLMs that harness their strengths in dialogue and summarization and reduce the risks of a chat robot providing students with inaccurate (不准确的) information or enabling them to cheat.Arizona State University (ASU), for example, developed a platform that enables its members to use LLM-powered chat robots. These robots are instructed to seek answers to users’questions in specific data sets, such as scientific papers or lecture notes. This approach not only makes use of the chat robot’s conversational power, but alsozreduces the chance of errors.As understanding of the LLMs’power and limitations increases, more university-wide plans will certainly appear. Using LLMs without considering their disadvantages will gain the opposite effect. For many educational purposes, error-prone (容易出错的) tools damage students’ability to learn and cannot help students. But some institutions are trying to reduce the LLMs’weaknesses, even aiming to turn those into strengths by, for example, using them to improve students’critical-thinking skills.Educators must be brave to avoid missing a huge opportunity and careful to ensure that institutions everywhere use LLMs in a way that makes the world better, not worse.9．What can we infer about ChatGPT from Paragraph 1?A．It is used in exams by some students.B．It is going to replace human teachers.C．It is especially popular among teachers.D．It improves educators’ evaluation methods. 10．What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?A．LLMs’possible risks.B．LLMs’powerful tools.C．ILMs’leaning ability.D．LLMs’potential benefits.11．What should students know when using LLMs?A．Their task-specific versions.B．Their strengths and weaknesses.C．Their problems and possible risks.D．Their models for education purposes.12．What does the underlined word “harness” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A．Improve.B．Discover.C．Use.D．Test.13．As for the future of LLMs, the writer is _________A．confused B．hopeful C．unconcerned D．doubtfulMaking employees feel happy and healthy at work is good for many businesses. But it isn’t always an easy thing. A research suggests that just 33% of the U. S. employees consider themselves fully engaged (投身于) at work, while 16% are actively disengaged, and 51% are just showing up.But there is an exception. When it comes to employee engagement, it seems that employees in small companies are doing better. According to the same research, the largest U. S. companies have the lowest levels of engagement, while companies with fewer than 25 employees have the highest. And in one recent report, 75 percent of small business workers surveyed said they were “very” or “extremely” satisfied with their role as a small company employee.Unlike big companies, small companies are often short of resources but the employees can get more surprises there. Small companies offer excellent career opportunities to their employees. The bosses often know their staff very well and understand their personal needs. Employees of small companies are more likely to receive free meals, paid leave, and they can even bring their pets to work.But of course, there’re many other draws in small businesses. One of the top draws is flexible scheduling (弹性工时). Another is being able to really see the fruits of one’s labor.Besides, noncash award is also a big draw. This could be something small that reflects employees’ interests and lifestyles.While a parental leave might lead to some financial problems, small companies may do something to improve it. “It may be impossible for a five person team to be reduced to four for six months,” writes Camilla Velasquez, head of HR management platform Just works. “But it could be possible to allow new parents to take on reduced hours in a work from home environment.” This kind of method has been realized in some small companies.14．What can we infer from Paragraph 2? ______A．Employees can develop better in small companies.B．Employees can earn more money in small companies.C．Employees in big companies are hard to be satisfied.D．Employees in small companies are more engaged at work.15．What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about? ______A．The benefits of working for small companies.B．The differences between small and big companies.C．What challenges staff in small companies may face.D．Why small companies are short of resources.16．What does the underlined word “draws” in Paragraph 4 mean? ______A．Choices.B．Attractions.C．Difficulties.D．Competitions. 17．What can be most probably inferred from the passage? ______A．Small companies may have more employees with much happiness.B．Big companies should learn from some small companies.C．Employees should have their own hobbies and lifestyles.D．Employers should pay more attention to the staff’s needs.How to Study More EffectivelyNo matter whether you are preparing for some specific course, a professional degree, or an entrance exam, it’s important to maximize study time and improve the efficiency of study.18 You can use a calendar, an app, or a pinboard time table to draft a schedule that works best for you. Include the study time, sleep, and the socializing time in the schedule. Makesure you give yourself more time than you think you need, especially if it’s a subject you struggle with.You can also cut your study time into short sessions. Your most productive studying typically occurs within the first 25 to 30 minutes of hitting books, so try to study in 30 minutes, and take a 5—10 minute break, so that you are able to absorb and consolidate the information.19Studying isn’t only spending hours and hours on list of what you think will be on an exam or quiz. 20 This can be done through a six-step approach: remembering, understanding, applying, analyzing, evaluating and creating. You should focus on a method that will help you achieve a higher level of learning. The higher levels of learning focus on asking questions such as what if, how and why rather than where, what and who.21 Research shows that being tested is not only useful in evaluating how well you have learned something but also valuable for avoiding future mistakes. Answering questions unsuccessfully can help you understand concepts better. If your professor offers you practice exams, take them home and learn from them. Understand why you got certain questions wrong and others right. 22 Force each other to expand answers in order to understand the material better.Following the suggestions to study more effectively will mean shorter and more efficient study sessions, and eventually, better grades!A．You can quiz yourself whenever possible.B．Effective studying starts with the right attitude.C．It is important to study in a smart way and go the extra mile.D．Study with friends or classmates and question each other on the material.E．You are more likely to do well before a quiz when you have time to review.F．Creating a schedule is the first and most important thing to maximize your study time. G．This is why a certain balance should be made and studying time should be cut into shorter sessions.二、完形填空A 24-year-old Seattle resident Benjamin Ramsay, has been presented with the famous Carnegie Medal.

Until then she had been a bright, cheerful woman deeply interested and involved in the world around her. I would go home to visit her in Virginia and she would look at me in a puzzled way and ask, “Who are you?” I would answer, “I'm your son.” “Where do you live?” She would ask. “In California”, I would tell her. “Isn't that interesting,” she would say, “I have a son in California.”She seemed simply forgetful and confused at the beginning of the disease, but later on she would go through periods of intense anxiety. She would pace through the house she had lived in most of her life crying uneasily that she wanted to go home. Or she would leave home and wander away if she were unattended for a short time. Hoping to please her and put her mind at ease I would take her for a drive, visiting sites where she had lived as a child. In the yard of the hillside house in Shipman I sat in the car and admired the view of the old oaks and long green lawn. I pictured my mother there was a little girl playing with the pet lamb she had been so fond of. I looked to her for some response. She shookher head and said “ I want to go home.Over the years I have decided that what my mother was calling home was not a place, but a time. I suspect it was a time when she was much younger, when her children were still underfoot, when her husband was still vigorous and attentive.Watching my mother's suffering set me wondering where I would have gone in mind if someday I couldn’t find home and wanted to go there. In this family we tend to be long-lived and we grow fuzzy (糊涂的) minded as the years go by. At eighty I have already noticed some alarming symptoms. My doctor says the forgetfulness is only natural and that it comes with age. Still the fear of Alzheimer's is haunting there. Someday if and when I become even more cloudy minded than I am now, unable to drive and unable to tell you where "home" is, my dear son, I expect I will ask you to take me home, I know you will do your best to find the place I need to be. I leave these notes for your guidance.41. What's the main idea of the first two paragraphs?A. The author’s mother suffered with serious Alzheimer's disease.B.

Where are you most likely to find this text?A. In a newspaper.B. In a handbook.C. In a textbook.D. In a medical magazine.CIn the fall of 1985, I was a bright-eyed girl heading off to Howard University, aiming at a legal career and dreaming of sitting on a Supreme Court bench somewhere. Twenty-one years later I am still a bright-eyed dreamer and one with quite a different tale to tell.My grandma, an amazing woman, graduated from college at the age of 65.She was the first in our family to reach that goal. But one year after I started college, she developed cancer. I made the choice to withdraw from college to care for her. It meant that school and my personal dream would have to wait.Then I got married with another dream: building my family with a combination of adopted and biological children. In 1999, we adopted our first son.To lay eyes on him was fantastic—and very emotional.A year later came our second adopted boy.Then followed son No.3.In 2003, I gave birth to another boy.You can imagine how fully occupied I became, raising four boys under the age of 8！Our home was a complete zoo—a joyous zoo.Not surprising, I never did make it back to college full-time.But I never gave up on the dream either.I had only one choice: to find a way.That meant taking as few as one class each semester.The hardest part was feeling guilty about the time I spent away from the boys.They often wanted me to stay home with them.There certainly were times I wanted to quit, but I knew I should set an example for them to follow through the rest of their lives.In 2007, I graduated from the University of North Carolina.It took me over21 years to get my college degree!I am not special, just single-minded.It always struck me that when you're looking at a big challenge from the outside it looks huge, but when you're in the midst of it, it just seems normal.Everything you want won't arrive in your life on one day.It's a process.Remember: little steps add up to big dreams.51．When the author went to Howard University, her dream was to be ________.A．a writer B．a teacherC．a judge D．a doctor 52．Why did the author quit school in her second year of college?A．She wanted to study by herself.B．She fell in love and got married.C．She suffered from a serious illness.D．She decided to look after her grandma.53．What can we learn about the author from Paragraphs 4 and 5?A．She was busy yet happy with her family life.B．She ignored her guilty feeling for her sons.C．She wanted to remain a full-time housewife.D．She was too confused to make a correct choice.54．What does the author mostly want to tell us in the last paragraph?A．Failure is the mother of success.B．Little by little, one goes far.C．Every coin has two sides.D．Well begun, half done.55．Which of the following can best describe the author?A．Caring and determined.B．Honest and responsible.C．Ambitious and sensitive.D．Innocent and single-minded.DDeath Valley is one of the most famous deserts in the United States, covering a wide area with its alkali sand. Almost 20 percent of this area is well below sea level, and Badwater, a salt water pool, is about 280 feet below sea level and the lowest point in the United States.Long ago the Panamint Indians called this place “Tomesha”— the land of fire. Death Valley’s present name dates back to 1849, when a group of miners coming across from Nevada became lost in its unpleasantness and hugeness and their adventure turned out to be a sad story. Today Death Valley has been declared a National Monument(纪念碑) and is crossed by several well-marked roads where good services can be found easily. Luckily the change created by human settlement has hardly ruined the special beauty of this place.Here nature created a lot of surprising, almost like the sights on the moon, ever-changing as the frequent wind moves the sand about, showing the most unusual colors. One of the most astonishing and variable parts of Death Valley is the Devil’ s Golf Course, where it seems hard for one to tell re ality from terrible dreams. Sand sculptures(沙雕) stand on a frightening ground, as evening shadows move and lengthen.56. _______ is the lowest place in the desert.A. TomeshaB. Death ValleyC. NevadaD. Bad water57.

First of all, mistakes are a clear sign that you are trying new things. It’s always good to try new things because when you are trying new things you are growing. If you never try anything new, how can you improve? How can you expand? The simple answer is “You can’t”. Look around you. Almost everything valuable you see in your world is the result of _____________.[2] Another good thing about mistakes is this: when you are making mistakes, you are learning. Consider this: Edison failed 10000 times before he perfected the light bulb. When asked how it felt to fail that many times, he remarked that he hadn’t failed 10000 times, but rather had learned 10000 things that didn’t work.[3] Finally, when you make a mistake you are much closer to success. Why? Because when all is said and done, you will have tried only a few things before you succeed. Every time you made a mistake, you got rid of one bad thing and stepped closer to success.*4+ But this all doesn’t mean that you should go ahead without considering the consequences of a mistake. Instead, when you try something new, you have to be willing to set some reasonable limits so that you will have opportunities to try again in case that it doesn’t work out as you expected. We all have limited resources so don’t blow them all at one time. Realize that it probably won’t be perfect the first time and use these resources appropriately so you can learn, improve, and try it again. Only by using your mistakes in this way can you make significant advances in your career.*5+ There is an old saying that goes, “If you’re not making mistake, you’re not trying hard enough.” So go forth and make mistakes.1. List three reasons why making a mistake is good for you. (Please answer within 5 words for each blank.)① _______________________________________________________________② _______________________________________________________________③ _______________________________________________________________2.

Late one evening, Jayasree, who had recently been diagnosed (诊断) with Alzheimer’s, got up in her nightdress and went to make tea at her home in India. After she returned to her bedroom, Chadalavada went into the kitchen to find that his grandmother had left the gas on!Chadalavada decided to invent a wearable device to help people like his grandmother. Now aged 17, Chadalavada is ready to start making the Alpha Monitor. The device, which can be worn as an armband, sets off an alarm when the wearer with Alzheimer’s starts to move and warns a caregiver if the patient falls or wanders off.Most similar devices run on Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, so when a person moves out of their frequencies’ limited range the connection is lost and with it the monitoring. But the Alpha Monitor can detect a person more than a mile away in cities and three miles in the countryside thanks to the long-range technology, known as LoRa, it uses.Teaching himself with YouTube videos about robotics and electronics, Chadalavada has developed several prototypes (模型). To understand the needs of people with Alzheimer’s, he spent time in a day centre run by the Alzheimer’s and Related Disorders Society of India. There, the cofounder told him that the device “had to be something light that can be worn on any part of the body”. She says: “Many patients don’t like having to wear a watch and they take it off.”In March, when Chadalavada’s school exams are over, he will put the finishing touches to the monitor, with the aim of getting the device ready for market by September. He is confident that it should be sold at an affordable price for most people.Chadalavada hopes to study robotics at a university abroad. His aim is simple: “I want to create products to help people in India for the whole world.”4．Why did Chadalavada invent the Alpha Monitor?A．To treat Alzheimer’s.B．To entertain senior citizens.C．To improve Alzheimer’s caregiving.D．To ensure fire safety at the elderly’s homes.5．What is an advantage of the Alpha Monitor?A．It is more comfortable to wear.B．It has a longer service time.C．It offers a remoter monitoring.D．It uses higher frequency controls.6．What did Chadalavada want to explore while he spent time in a day centre?A．Where his invention could be polished.B．What people with Alzheimer’s felt like.C．How Alzheimer’s disease could be cured.D．Whether his invention would be profitable.7．What can we learn about Chadalavada from the text?A．He enjoys living simply.B．He has an innovative mind.C．He used to be a health worker.D．He longs to be a robotics professor.The impact of technology on language is a topic that often causes concern, with many assuming that it is simply ruining it. However, language experts resist such pessimism, noting that there is little evidence to support the view that speech is getting worse. Gretchen McCulloch, in her book Because Internet, focuses on what can be learned about language from the internet rather than talking about its supposed negative effects.McCulloch compares studying language online to growing bacteria (细菌) in a Petri dish,where trends emerge and disappear quickly, allowing language experts to observe changes that would otherwise take a considerable amount of time. The influence of strong ties like friends or family vs weaker ties on language change is analyzed, with computer simulations (模拟) revealing that having both strong and weaker ties helps spread updates in a community.The role of social media platforms in language change is also discussed. Twitter, with its mix of strong and weak ties, is shown to drive more language change than Facebook, which is controlled by stronger ties. Emoji is highlighted as a universal digital expression of gestures, not a language. Additionally, there is evidence that the use of internet“innovations”such as“omg”datesback to pre-computer eras.McCulloch’s book focuses on the birth of a new medium rather than a new language. The rise of mass writing on the internet, characterized by frequent, error-filled, and short-lived communication, challenges traditional ideas about writing’s importance. McCulloch suggests future historians should see this as a return to more casual (随意的) language, paying more attention to the value of tools that improve social interaction online. The book argues against the idea that these changes might lead to the end of “real” writing, advocating for an appreciation of anything that enhances human connection and the enjoyment of each other’s company.8．How might McCulloch sound in her book Because Internet?A．Sensitive.B．Scientific.C．Pessimistic.D．Dismissive. 9．What does paragraph 3 focus on?A．The development of digital language.B．The difference between social media platforms.C．The influence of the internet on language change.D．The connection between humans and the internet.10．Which of the following would McCulloch probably agree with?A．Interpersonal bonds play a role in online communication.B．Formal language is unlikely to improve social interaction.C．The birth of new media has removed writing’s importance.D．Mass writing can make web-based conversations effective.11．What would be the best title for the text?A．How to Achieve Network Effect?B．Technology, Fear or Convenience?C．What If Faced with Media Terms?D．Internet Degrades or Helps Speech?Bottled water has long been marketed as a safe drink—if it doesn’t come straight from a mountain spring, it’s at least clean and free of chemicals. But a new study demonstrates that bottled water may not be so safe when it comes to microscopic plastic pollutants capable of passing into the bloodstream.For years scientists have raised the alarm over microplastics, which form when plastics break down into increasingly smaller particles (微粒), ranging from five millimeters down to onemicrometer. Previous studies have found that a liter of bottled water can contain tens of thousands of identifiable plastic particles. But they stopped at the one micrometer level due to technological restrictions.The study used a new technology to find even smaller particles, and detected an average240,000 plastic particles per liter of bottled water. About 90% of the particles were considered nanoplastics, smaller than one micrometer. Unlike microplastics, they are capable of passing through some organs like lungs into the bloodstream. From there they can stay in the heart muscle and other organs, pass into the brain, and even into the bodies of unborn babies.So far, little research shows what nanoplastics exactly do once they enter the bloodstream. But there is much evidence that chemicals used in plastic production are bad for human health. Even if nanoplastics themselves are not deleterious, they can serve as carriers for the dangerous chemicals, increasing the risk of cancer and impacting key organs such as the heart.“There is a huge world of nanoplastics to be studied,” said the researchers. Even if nanoplastics make up 90% of the number of plastic particles found in bottled water, they make up far less in mass, they said. However, this fact provides little comfort: It’s the numbers rather than mass that matter; and the smaller things are, the more readily they can get inside us.12．What does the technological barrier in the previous studies concern?A．The number of microscopic plastics.B．The quality of water bottles.C．The distribution of plastic pollutants.D．The size of plastic particles.13．What does the text imply about microplastics?A．They are not very likely to pollute bottled water.B．Their number per liter of bottled water is constant.C．They are less potentially risky to health than nanoplastics.D．Their number in springs is larger than that of nanoplastics.14．What does the underlined word “deleterious” in paragraph 4 probably mean?A．Large.B．Useless.C．Safe.D．Harmful. 15．Why do nanoplastics need further research?A．They are too small to identify.B．They have easy access to organs.C．They are dangerous regarding mass.D．They have a higher percentage in life.Why are Police Officers Called Cops?Police officers are often referred to as cops. 16 Some argue the term is shortened from “copper” and comes from copper badges (徽章) worn by a policeman. Others say that it stands for “Constabulary of Police”.General agreement on the word origins of “cop”, however, suggests that the term is based more on the policeman’s job than on his clothing or job title. In Latin, the verb capere can be defined as “to capture.” In French, the verb is caper. “To cop” in English is to seize or to take.17Some also believe that the Dutch word kapen, which also loosely translates to “to steal or take”, is related to policemen being called coppers or cops. Essentially, the police force was there to take criminals off the streets. 18 And since American English especially draws from German, French, and Latin, the specific language origin of kapen or capere creates a ready path to the term “cop”.19 And it is no longer considered rude. However, certain other terms for police officers are definitely unwelcome. While British Police might not mind being called “bobbies”, no police members like to be referred to as “pigs” or the “fuzz”. Some don’t mind the term the “heat” as applied to the whole police force, but the police force does not generally take kindly to terms given to them by criminals.The term “cop” is in such common usage now that a show documenting their work on the job is called Cops. Even though J. Edgar Hoover once highly objected to the term, it is now fine to refer to a policeman or a police woman as a cop. 20A．The term is slightly less familiar to people.B．So, the Latin, Dutch, and French terms are all similar.C．These words define some of what a police officer does.D．The profession of a police officer was not respected then.E．But the origins of this nickname are something of a debate.F．However, the term “police officer” is generally most correct.G．Today it is appropriate to call members of the police force cops.二、完形填空As soon as the words left my mouth, I knew I'd made a mistake. “You think Jane Austen is...21 ?” the man opposite me asked in disbelief. Then, he and his colleague took turns to 22 my claim.“I just mean…” I said in a bright voice, in order to keep the tone 23 ,“that she's not as biting as Virginia Woolf.”The two professors, like a couple of cats toying with a 24 bird, gave specific examples of how Austen' s work was, 25 , more biting. With no more action to take, I simply smiled and said, “Let's just agree to disagree, shall we?” And at that moment, my dreams of going to Oxford University 26 in a puff of smoke.Part of my problem was a 27 of confidence. Even though I was a straight A student and had prepared for the interview to the best of my ability, I wasn't a skilled 28 .When faced with two experts who told me that I was wrong, instead of 29 myself, I rolled over and accepted 30 .So, months later, I already knew the 31 of my thin envelope when it appeared on my doormat. 32 ,I felt a pang of disappointment. However, failing my Oxford interview provided a 33 life lesson. I'm now more confident of my opinions, and I try to 34 my points with hard evidence. What's more, I have never since 35 a discussion by giving a simpering smile and saying, “Let's just agree to disagree, shall we?”21．A．noble B．soft C．beautiful D．clumsy 22．A．appreciate B．submit C．challenge D．substitute 23．A．pleasing B．serious C．low D．light 24．A．frightened B．brave C．fragile D．naughty 25．A．on the contrary B．by no means C．for example D．beyond expectation 26．A．developed B．arrived C．disappeared D．shifted 27．A．matter B．lack.C．sense D．kind 28．A．debater B．learner C．fighter D．educator 29．A．expressing B．behaving C．defending D．identifying 30．A．truth B．advice C．prejudice D．defeat31．A．details B．spirits C．contents D．statistics 32．A．Frequently B．Originally C．Absolutely D．Naturally 33．A．typical B．valuable C．miserable D．temporary 34．A．make up B．take up C．pick up D．back up 35．A．ended B．mended C．attended D．extended三、语法填空阅读下面材料，在空白处填入一个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

浙江省精诚联盟2024-2025学年高二上学期10月月考英语试题
浙江省精诚联盟2024-2025学年高二上学期10月月考英语试题一、阅读理解Are you looking for inspiration for your next travel destination? Lonely Planet has published its yearly list of top places to go. Whether you’re looking for adventure, culture, or value, there’s something for every type of traveler. Let’s explore the top picks for travel destinations in2024.Top City: NairobiNairobi, the Kenyan capital, was chosen for its unique music and dance culture, and impressive local restaurants. Nairobi National Park, just a short drive out of the city’s central business district, is a must-see, where visitors can see over 400 species wandering the open grass plains while skyscrapers (摩天大楼) twinkle on the horizon.Top Country: MongoliaMongolia is loved for its wide-open spaces, adventure activities, and unique food. The Mongolian government has announced 2023 through 2025 as the “Years to Visit Mongolia,” easing entry conditions for international travelers and improving public facilities, including a new $650 million airport.Top Sustainable Travel Destination: SpainThe publisher also recommended Spain for the country’s efforts to expand renewable energy, to develop off-season travel, and to bring tourism to new destinations, such as the port city of Valencia, easing pressures on hot spots such as Barcelona.Top Best-Value Location: The American MidwestThe American Midwest, including the cities of Chicago and Detroit, is also on the list, as it offers a high-quality travel experience at a reasonable cost. Visitors can enjoy excellent services and facilities, such as old warehouses transformed into art studios, new eco-design (环保设计) hotels, and Michelin-starred restaurants, without having to spend too much money.Top Beach Destination: DonegalDonegal, Ireland’s most northwestern county, has the country’s longest coastline and over 100 beaches, where visitors can enjoy the highest sea cliffs in Europe and miles of beautiful coastal hiking trails.1．What can people do in Nairobi National Park?A．Appreciate various animals.B．See musical performances.C．Taste impressive local dishes.D．Enjoy cultural activities.2．Why is The American Midwest considered to be the Best-Value Location?A．It has highest sea cliffs.B．It offers cost-effective experiences.C．It provides excellent services and facilities.D．It is a best choice for art lover.3．Where is the text most probably taken from?A．A travel blog B．An art websiteC．A commercial advertisement D．A travel magazineEven with the Olympic Games now over, echoes of the past days still remained. The National Police would show up around the same time, with soldiers pacing outside the venue entrances. Cafes did a roaring trade, catering to a steady stream of handball and volleyball fans, dressed in national colors, covered in flags, singing songs. After the Games, a different atmosphere settles in. This is Monday, Day +1 of the Games, the morning after the closing ceremony. The loudspeaker has fallen silent. The 7 am police officer procession is now a workers’ lorry, with workers in bright orange vests tidying away barriers. The roadblocks are gone. The cable car stop has reopened.Is this normal life in south-west Paris? The Games decoration still covers every public space, the flags wave, but the Olympic visitors have disappeared. Forget 28 Days Later — this is 28 Hours Later, and I am an Olympic zombie. During the Games, Paris welcomed 2.4 million visitors, 73% of them French, with half coming just for the day. The remaining 27% were international visitors, up 14% from last year. It was these day-trippers and foreign fans who made Paris so lively and colorful.Before packing for my Tuesday Eurostar, I stopped by a regular local haunt. Two days before the opening ceremony, I had asked the chef-owner of 750g La Table about the Games. His response was clear: “The Olympic Games? It’s a disaster. My takings are down 35%. Businesses are closing. Tourists don’t visit.” Today, I ask him what he thinks now that the show is over. “Ah, I was wrong!” he says, smiling. “I was wrong. It was amazing, for the city and for my business. Now, as you see, we’re not busy. Sit wherever you like. All we do now is rest and clean.” Weshake hands, and I ask him about the future. “Now? I’m going to take a nap,” he says, pretending to sleep and laughing before heading to the back room for a nap. And with that, the spirit of the Games fades, leaving Paris to rest.4．What is the atmosphere in Paris after the Games are over?A．Exciting and cheerful.B．Quiet and relaxed.C．Empty and lifeless.D．Bustling and busy.5．How did the number of visitors change in Paris during the Games?A．Visitor numbers were unchanged.B．Visitor numbers significantly dropped.C．Visitor numbers saw a relative increase.D．Visitor numbers remained fairly constant.6．What does the author’s conversation with the chef-owner imply?A．The chef-owner feared losses initially but later saw benefits.B．The chef-owner saw no impact on his business.C．The chef-owner’s takings are down during the Games.D．The chef-owner regretted participating in the Games.7．What’s the best title of this passage?A．The Olympic Zombie in ParisB．From Olympic Glory to Parisian CalmC．Olympic business boom in ParisD．The Disappearance of Olympic VisitorsOver a decade ago, the science fiction series Black Mirror showed a story about using artificial intelligence to bring back loved ones. Thanks to technological advancement, the latest AI resurrection technology brings hope of recreating loved ones through virtual form.Recently, it was revealed that renowned musician Tino Bao had created a digital version of his daughter, who in 2021 passed away due to a rare disease at the age of 22. With the help of Xiaoice, Microsoft Asia’s AI branch based in China, Bao was able to recreate his daughter Bao Rong as an AI-powered virtual figure. Tino Bao, his family and the team went to great lengths to piece together pictures, audio-visual recordings, and narrated memories of Rong. After thousandsof trials and errors, they presented the life-like digital human who speaks in both Mandarin and English. Bao has finally launched a company to bring the technological miracle to other families experiencing such loss.However, this technological achievement has also been accompanied by many controversies. The idea of bringing back a loved one through AI may seem comforting. Still, researchers caution that constantly interacting with an AI version of a deceased loved one could potentially affect the natural grieving (悲伤) process, leaving individuals stuck in a state of denial. This could lead to prolonged grief and other mental health issues. Furthermore, there’s a risk that people may become overly dependent on the technology, prioritizing their interactions with the AI version over forming new, real-life relationships.With the case of Bao Rong out in the open, AI resurrection has become a business. From simple “talking pictures” that sound nothing like the loved ones to deepfake videos of actors speaking with the faces of those who passed away, the lower end of the market is more “artificial” than “intelligent”. Therefore, it is crucial to establish proper regulations and ethical standards to ensure that the use of AI-resurrection technology is safe and responsible.8．What does the underlined word “resurrection” in para.1 most likely mean?A．The act of bringing something back to life or existence.B．The process of improving AI technology.C．The development of new virtual forms.D．The combination of memories and technology.9．What is a possible consequence of constantly interacting with an AI version of a deceased loved one?A．It may cause people to forget the real memories of the loved one.B．It may prevent people from using other AI technologies.C．It may prolong the natural grieving process and cause mental health problems.D．It may lead to the decline of the AI industry.10．Which of the following statements about the future of AI resurrection technology is correct?A．It will eventually replace traditional ways of memorizing loved ones.B．It needs proper regulations and ethical standards to ensure safe and responsible use.C．It will be completely banned due to ethical concerns.D．It will develop healthily without proper regulations.11．What is the main idea of the passage?A．The introduction of the science fiction series Black Mirror.B．The process of creating an AI version of a loved one.C．The benefits and controversies of using AI to recreate loved ones.D．The development of AI technology in the field of music.It’s always supposed that one is either a “cat person” or a “dog person”. Dogs, the assumption goes, are loyal, affectionate, and fun; cats, as Mrs Beeton suggested in 1862, are “selfish, cruel, greedy, and without a bit of affection”. But what does it reveal about someone who prefers the company of cats? This interesting question is at the heart of Kathryn Hughes’s Catland, where she explores the cultural significance of cats throughout history.Hughes traces the history of the cat in culture and society, focusing on its journey from pest to pet in the mid-19th-century. She also explores the anthropomorphic (拟人的) world of “cat art” created by the 19th-century artist Louis Wain. The famous novelist H. G. Wells once credited Wain with “inventing a cat style, a cat society, and a whole cat world.” In Wain’s comic-like pictures, cats adopt human form, wear clothes, drive cars, and parent naughty baby cats. Standing on their back legs with huge, expressive eyes, Wain’s cat subjects often reflect their view, offering a unique social observation on the period.In addition to Wain’s contributions, Hughes explores the broader 19th-century interest in cats. She suggests that the mystery surrounding cats could easily lead to misunderstandings between humans and these animals, potentially explaining the origins of ailments (疾病) like ailurophobia (the fear of cats).The book also highlights the influence of cats on famous figures of the time. For example, while Hardy is buried at Westminster Abbey, his heart is famously transported and buried with his beloved cat in a graveyard in Dorset, having been transported there in a biscuit tin.Returning to Louis Wain, his later years took a darker turn. Declared mentally ill and committed to a mental hospital, Wain continued to create art, but his cats took on a dream-like, colorful character, far removed from the naughty baby cats of his earlier work.12．What assumptions are made about “cat people” and “dog people”?A．Dog people are intelligent, while cat people are untrustworthy.B．Dog people are independent, while cat people are affectionate.C．Dog people are faithful, while cat people are self-centered.D．Dog people are shy, while cat people are outgoing.13．What can we learn from the third paragraph?A．People like cats because they are mystical creatures.B．Hughes is more interested in cats than Wain.C．The mystery of cats results from people’s misunderstanding.D．Misunderstandings of cat behavior may lead to fear.14．Why does the author mention Thomas Hardy in paragraph 4?A．To illustrate the influence of cats on famous figures.B．To show the popularity of cats among famous people.C．To prove that Hardy was a “cat person”.D．To discuss the burial traditions of famous people.15．What’s the difference between Wain’s later work and his earlier ones?A．Later work described cats in natural settings.B．Earlier work focused more on cats instead of dogs.C．Later work turned more serious and darker.D．Later work is more dream-like and striking.Research has shown that spending more time outside is key to the nation’s well-being. Nearly two thirds of UK adults said that taking in the colors, sights, smells and sounds of the great outdoors by gardening or being surrounded by nature helped with their mental wellbeing and lowered stress levels. Now is a great time to dig out your trowel and get your hands dirty in some soil. 16 Pick your ownThere’s nothing like eating your own vegetables. From picking your own strawberries or unearthing the first new potatoes of the year, homegrown vegetable is a joy. It simply tastes better. Once you start home growing you may never stop.You don’t need to have a large plot to do so either. 17 Don’t forget that a windowsill garden should also provide color as well as be useful, so experiment with differentvarieties for attractive leaves. 18Over the garden fence, while weeding your window boxes, it’s amazing whoever you talk to when you’re enjoying tending to your plants or vegetables. Simply being out and about in your garden invites interaction and conversation with neighbors and people in your local area, which in itself has multiple social and wellbeing benefits.Additionally, whether you’re a learner or a keen gardener, community gardening groups can also be invaluable for information sharing. 19 Stay healthyDid you know that the amount of calories burnt from 30 minutes of gardening is comparable to playing badminton, volleyball or practicing yoga? From digging to weeding to lopping and mowing, there’s a whole world of muscle movement when you’re planting and tidying. 20 Research carried out by the RHS and Coventry University shows that a good digging technique was found to have minimal backbend and a large knee bend, so be mindful and make sure you’re saving yourself from a future potential bad back.A．Join gardening groupsB．Start community conversationsC．Here are top reasons to get gardening this year.D．Herbs and smaller vegetables are more than happy in pots on windowsills or small balconies. E．However, ensuring you’re completing jobs with minimal strain and risk of injury is imperative. F．Looking after plants in window boxes also boosted wellbeing—showing that you don’t need a big garden.G．Local seed and plant swap groups are also a great way of meeting people and getting rid of unwanted plants.二、完形填空“I will have revenge (复仇) on him.” said Philip to himself, with a face quite red with anger. His mind was so 21 that he did not see Stephen, who happened at that instant to meet him.Stephen asked, “on whom you intend to be revenged?”As if 22 from a dream, stopped short, and looking at his friend, Philip said, “It wasfarmer Robinson’s son who reduced it to this 23 state.”“I was walking peaceably along,” he replied, “and was playing with my cane (藤条) 24 twisting it round my body. By accident, one of the 25 slipped out of my hand. It so happened that my cane, in springing back, upset the pot the ill-natured fellow had put down, but did not break it. He came up close to me, began to call me names, seized my cane, and twisted it, as you see.”“To be sure,” said Stephen, “he is a very bad boy, and is already very properly 26 for being such, 27 nobody likes him or will have anything to do with him.” “Now, Philip,” continued Stephen, “I think you will act better in not minding him, as your contempt will be the best punishment you can put upon him. And, I will tell you what happened to him not long before.”“Very unluckily for him, he chanced to see a bee hovering about a flower which he caught, and was going to 28 its wings, when the animal stung him. The pain put him into a furious passion, and, like you, he vowed revenge. Finally the whole swarm flew out and stung him in a hundred different places. They had stung him so 29 that he was confined several days to his bed.”“Thus, you see, he was not very successful in his 30 of revenge. I would advise you, therefore, to 31 his fault. He is a bad boy and much stronger than you; so that your ability to obtain this revenge may be doubtful.”“I must own,” replied Philip, “that your advice seems very good.”A few days afterward, Philip saw this ill-natured boy fall as he was carrying home a heavy log of wood, 32 he could not lift up again. Philip ran to him, and helped him to replace it on his shoulder. Young Robinson was quite 33 at the thought of this unmerited kindness. Philip went home quite satisfied. “This,” he said, “is the noblest 34 I could take, in returning good for evil. It is 35 I should feel sorry for it.”21．A．appointed B．engaged C．employed D．involved 22．A．to awaken B．to be awaken C．awakened D．awakening 23．A．comfortable B．peaceful C．worthless D．meaningful 24．A．by B．on C．through D．for 25．A．canes B．flowers C．sticks D．ends26．A．punished B．blamed C．scolded D．criticized 27．A．when B．although C．since D．while 28．A．cut off B．pull off C．take off D．shut off 29．A．severely B．tightly C．uncomfortably D．tensely 30．A．affection B．thought C．pursuit D．hope 31．A．pass over B．turn over C．hand over D．go over 32．A．that B．when C．what D．which 33．A．excited B．ashamed C．regretted D．annoyed 34．A．responsibility B．revenge C．kindness D．mercy 35．A．certain B．natural C．improper D．impossible三、语法填空阅读下面材料，在空白处填入一个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

AYou probably know who Marie Curie was, but you may not have heard of Rachel Carson. Of the outstanding ladies listed below, who do you think was the most important woman of the past 100 years?Jane Addams(1860-1935)Anyone who has ever been helped by a social worker has Jane Addams to thank. Addams helped the poor and worked for peace. She encouraged a sense of community(社区)by creating shelters and promoting education and services for people in need. In 1931, Addams became the first American woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize.Rachel Carson(1907-1964)If it weren’t for Rachel Carson, the environmental movement might not exist today. Her popular 1962 book Silent Spring raised awareness of the dangers of pollution and the harmful effects of chemicals on humans and on the world’s lakes and oceans.Sandra Day O’Connor(1930-present)When Sandra Day O’Connor finished third in her class at Stanford Law School, in 1952, she could not find work at a law firm because she was a woman. She became an Arizona state senator(参议员) and ,in 1981, the first woman to join the U.S. Supreme Court. O’Connor gave the deciding vote in many important cases during her 24 years on the top court.Rosa Parks(1913-2005)On December 1,1955, in Montgomery, Alabama, Rasa Parks would not give up her seat on a bus to a passenger. Her simple act landed Parks in prison. But it also set off the Montgomery bus boycott. It lasted for more than a year, and kicked off the civil-rights movement. “The only tired I was, was tired of giving in,” said Parks.21. Who made a great contribution to the civil-rights movement in the US?A. Jane Addams.B. Rosa Parks.C. Sandra Day O’Connor.D. Rachel Carson.22. What is Jane Addams famous for in history?A. Her efforts to win a prize.B. Her lack of proper training in law.C. Her social work.D. Her community background.23. What is the reason for O’Connor’s being rejected by the law firm?A. Her lack of proper training in law.B. The discrimination against women.C. Her little work experience in court.D. The poor financial conditions.24. What can we infer about the women mentioned in the text?A. They are highly educated.B. They are truly creative.C. They are peace-lovers.D. They are pioneers.BI can’t remember the first time one of my children told me, “I hate you.” I can, however, tell you that it still happens occasionally, but it doesn’t bother me. As their father, I often say things that are unpopular. If they hate me once in a while, I know I’m doing a good job.There are three other words that I won’t allow in my house, however. Last week, I was watching my older son play with a paper airplane. After he accidentally threw it into a wall and it came apart, his eyes were filled with tears.“I hate myself,” he said. It wasn’t the first time he’d said it, and I was concerned that he’d started to actually believe it.I knelt down next to him and made him look into my eyes. I told him that I never wanted to hear those words again, and that he needed to respect himself.The difference between your kid telling you they hate you and they saying they hate themselves is that, five minutes later, they’ve already forgotten they “hate you”. Self-hate is much more potentially poisonous and for young people, it can linger into the rest of their life.Kids who start to believe they hate themselves sometimes struggle to form new friendships. As teenagers, they avoid the chance to connect with a potential love interest, because they assume they’ll be rejected. And as adults, they might choose not to apply for the dream job because they assume it won’t work out.I know this is true, because I didn’t have a high opinion of myself as a child. I found myself struggling in many areas, and I’d hate to see my children suffer the same fate.Sometimes, words are just words. But some words can make the kind of impact I’d very much like to avoid for my children. I don’t fear strong language; I fear language that makes us weak.25. How did the author feel on hearing his kids saying “I hate you”?A. Depressed.B. Annoyed.C. Unconcerned.D. Excited.26. Why won’t the author allow the three words “I hate myself”?A. Because the influence of thinking in this way is negative.B. Because it hurts parents to hear their kids saying so.C. Because it doesn’t make any sense to blame oneself.D. Because the impoliteness of saying so is unbearable.27. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “linger” in paragraph 5?A. come to an endB. continue to existC. begin to changeD. become out of dateCOn March 17, people around the world celebrate the Irish holiday of Saint Patrick’s Day. It is a major holiday in Ireland, but the rest of the world has influenced its celebration as much as the Irish themselves.Most Americans think of Saint Patrick’s Day as a big party centered around drinking alcohol. But its beginnings in Ireland were religious, says Mike Cronin, a professor of Irish history with Boston College of Massachusetts.Ireland is a mostly Roman Catholic country. Saint Patrick lived in Ireland more than 2,000 years ago. He is widely considered to have established Christianity in the country. The Church honored him with a holy day in the 17th century. March 17 marks the date of his death. The average Irish person honored March 17 quietly. Attending church services was the main activity. In fact, most businesses that served alcohol would close in honor of the day.In the early 1900s, Ireland’s government made St. Patrick’s Day an official holiday. By the 1960s, towns across Ireland started celebrating the holiday with parades and music. In Ireland today, St. Patrick’s Day is a four-day public celebration that includes parades, music, food, and games.For Irish people living outside Ireland, Saint Patrick’s Day became a chance to celebrate their Irish identity and culture. Now, countries and cities around the world celebrate March 17 in creative ways. Many countries hold Saint Patrick’s Day parades. Famous monuments, including the Great Wall of China, the Niagara Falls, and the Gateway of India in Mumbai will all be colored by green light for the day.Cronin says that the worldwide popularity of Saint Patrick’s Day has helped the Irish government, which uses the holiday as a form of diplomacy. And for a small island of 4.5 to 5 million people it’s quite remarkable that they have that kind of soft power.28. How did average Irish people celebrate Saint Patrick’s Day in the 17th century?A. Drinking alcohol.B. Parading in the streets.C. Attending church services peacefully.D. Coloring well-known monuments green.29. What can we learn from the passage?A. Saint Patrick’s Day is the most significant day in the US.B. Saint Patrick’s Day plays a role in foreign affairs in Ireland today.C. Saint Patrick’s Day is celebrated worldwide today as in the 17th century.D. On Saint Patrick’s Day, parades and parties are held throughout America.30. What is the passage mainly about?A. The origin of Saint Patrick’s Day.B. The celebration of Saint Patrick’s Day.C. The influence of Saint Patrick’s Day on the world.D. The role of Saint Patrick’s Day in Irish diplomacy.31. What is Cronin’s attitude towards the popularity of Saint Patrick’s Day?A. Unclear.B. Neutral.C. Negative.D. Positive.DAs a child, visiting the zoo was more a punishment than a treat. I didn’t find the chimps’ tea parties funny, nor the bird shows entertaining. Feeding time for seals was less painful, but their performances still seemed like they belonged more in a circus（马戏团）.And I hated circuses, especially the animal acts — men teasing lions, girls balancing on elephants and monkeys playing football. I knew that every trick a circus animal did was unnatural, achieved through strict training and quite possibly cruelty.Happily, during my lifetime public attitudes and the law have changed. Circuses using wild animals are now almost extinct, and zoos have definitely evolved.When my children were young, I occasionally took them to our local zoo. The elephants were in tiny cages and the gorillas looked bored as they sat peeling bananas and staring at teasing visitors. Each cage had a sign which listed the animal’s name and where it came from. But, back then, there was little information included about the environmental challenges they faced.As a result, environmentalists and animal lovers often oppose zoos. “Animals belong in the wild,” is a common and understandable complaint. But what do the animals themselves prefer?Generally speaking, zoo animals have a longer life. But — you may protest — they are not free. What? Free to be hunted and killed, free to die of hunger or thirst? Maybe sitting in a cage eating bananas isn’t so bad.Not that such conditions are acceptable in modern zoos, due to the work of BIAZA, the British and Irish Association of Zoos and Aquariums. These days every zoo requires BIAZA’s approval to operate, and the association sets the standards, observes conditions in zoos and develops animal-research programmes, both in the UK and abroad. BIAZA also organizes the animal exchanges between zoos all over the world.Consequently, today, most zoo animals are born and raised in zoos, live in large, comfortable enclosures and are cared for by well-trained, knowledgeable and caring zoo employees. Of course it’s no substitute for living in the wild but unfortunately this isn’t always possible. Meanwhile, why not visit your local zoo and decide for yourself?32. The passage is mainly about __________.A. how zoos have improvedB. whether a zoo should be closed downC. a new environmental organizationD. the difference between zoos and circuses33. From Paragraph 2, we can guess that the writer believes circus animals __________.A. had much shorter lives than those in the wildB. were not treated well by their trainersC. should have been placed in zoosD. were not as intelligent as those in zoos34. Which of the following roles are performed by BIAZA?A. Organizing animal study projects and training zoo workers.B. Checking zoo conditions and arranging animal exchanges.C. Designing zoos and approving zoo operations.D. Caring for ill animals and setting zoo standards.35. Which of the following statements about zoos would the writer agree with?A. Zoo animals should be freed into the wild.B. Zoos are more popular now than in the past.C. Zoo animals are more restricted than in the past.D. Zoos now provide caring living conditions for animals.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
