It was a time filled with laughter and joy.One day, my father decided to build a greenhouse in the garden. He believed that having a greenhouse would allow us to grow more plants throughout the year. With the help of my mother and me, he started to build it. It took us several days, but finally, the greenhouse was ready.The greenhouse was a great success. We were able to grow plants even in winter. It was amazing to see the flowers blooming and the vegetables growing in the cold season. However, we soon realized that the greenhouse needed constant care. The plants had to be watered regularly, and we had to clean the greenhouse to prevent pests and diseases.One day, I noticed that some of the plants in the greenhouse were not doing well. They were wilting and losing their leaves. I was worried and asked my father what was wrong. He checked the plants and explained that they were suffering from a lack of sunlight. The thick glass of the greenhouse blocked most of the sunlight from reaching the plants.To solve the problem, my father built a small window on the side of the greenhouse. The window allowed sunlight to enter the greenhouse, and the plants started to thrive again. From that day on, we made sure to keep the window open during the day to provide the plants with enough light.The greenhouse not only extended our growing season, but it also brought us closer as a family. We learned the importance of teamwork and hard work.

重庆市第一中学校2023-2024学年高二上学期期末考试英语试卷学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解Lonely Planet’s best in travel destinations for 2024 revealed To mark its 50th anniversary, Lonely Planet’s Best in Travel 2024 has expanded from the top 10 best cities, countries, and regions to include two new categories of best value and best sustainable destinations, recognising a total of 50 locations across the globe offering amazing experiences to enjoy in 2024.Spain tops the sustainable travel list, having taken enormous strides to boost off-season travel, expand renewable energy, spread visitors across the year, and bring tourism to previously overlooked destinations.Wales too has been recognised as one of those leading the way in sustainability, thanks to its rebuilt railways expanding the possibilities of exploring the nation’s wild, wonderful west.And bouncing back strongly from the 2020 bushfires is Kangaroo Island, which remains one of South Australia’s great ecotourism destinations.Slow Travel, a favourite topic with Lonely Planet readers, is celebrated by highlighting the Portuguese Way hiking trail and the continued rise of night trains in Europe.Meanwhile the popular sun-kissed country of Croatia is now easier to explore with the opening of the Peljesac Bridge shining a spotlight on the previously overlooked Peljesac Peninsula and a new highway means it’s now possible to travel directly between Split and Dubrovnik.Algeria, the USA’s Midwest, Greek island of Ikaria and Normandy are just a few of those great value and often overlooked destinations, ideal for the cost-conscious traveller.For those seeking to enjoy the great outdoors, the new Western Balkans’ Cycle Route is set to open in 2024 and Far North Scotland is bidding for UNESCO status for its unsung boggy area and a coastline of heartbreaking beauty.1．Lonely Planet’s has expanded Best in Travel 2024 mainly to ________.A．Response to negative comments on previous lists.B．Fill diversity in Travel Preferences.C．Mark its 50th anniversary.D．Respond to a decline in travel interest.2．What transport development in Croatia makes it easier to explore?A．Opening of the Peljesac Bridge.B．Expansion of renewable energy.C．Repair and rebuilding of railways.D．Building a new highway in Ikaria. 3．For those who love cycling, which place is most appealing?A．North Scotland.B．Croatia.C．Greek.D．WesternBalkans.In October 2023, 3-year-old Journey Castillo completed a quest to visit all 63 of America’s national parks. Her parents, Eric and Valerie Castillo, said she is likely the youngest person to reach that milestone.The family, from San Antonio, Texas, ended their travels with a trip to Katmai National Park and Preserve in Alaska. “Mission complete,” they wrote on Instagram. “After three years of adventure, countless logistics work and not giving up, we could not be more proud to share the conclusion of our quest.” Journey hasn’t been officially verified as the youngest traveler to visit all 63 parks. But more important than the title, her parents say, is the experience.“Our thing was: ‘Let’s… inspire in Journey a passion for nature, inspire in her that she can handle the strenuous parts of the traveling: the environments, the weather changes, different cultures.” Valerie Castillo told The Guardian’s Ramon Antonio Vargas.Before she could walk, Journey Castillo’s parents set out to visit every national park in the U.S. They hiked up Pikes Peak and explored Rocky Mountain National Park, all with an infant in tow. As far as they could tell, Journey seemed to enjoy herself.“We could see her little eyes open and take it all in,” Valerie Castillo told the San Antonio Express-News last year. “She was so aware, even being a few days old. She’s adapted so well.”They then ventured to Grand Canyon National Park — and decided to keep going. They set a goal of visiting 21 parks by Journey’s first birthday, then 42 parks by her second birthday. Eventually, they decided to go for all 63 parks. The family has been documenting every step of the way on Instagram and their website, Journey Go Explore.Reaching the last few parks on their list — all in Alaska — required lots of logistical management, including renting flights, ferry rides, and even special permission from theNational Park Service to visit a seasonally closed park. Though their visit was challenging at times, the Castillos say it helped their daughter develop confidence. Journey walks fearlessly through airports and happily greets park rangers. “When she’s out at these parks, she comes to life, and her personality brightens up,” Eric Castillo said.4．Why did Journey Castillo’s parents take her to visit all America’s national parks?A．To inspire others to be more active.B．To document their travels on Instagram.C．To inspire a passion for nature in Journey.D．To break a record as the youngest traveler.5．What does the underlined word “strenuous” probably mean in the third paragraph?A．identical B．appealing C．mild D．challenging 6．What did the parents perceive about Journey during their visits to national parks?A．She was uninterested in the surroundings.B．She adapted well and seemed to enjoy herself.C．She preferred staying indoors with her parents.D．She only enjoyed specific environments and attractions.7．How did Eric Castillo describe Journey’s personality during those travels?A．Shy and introverted.B．Reliable and anxious.C．Fearful and splendid.D．Enthusiastic and confident.“Don’t be a victim.” That’s a phrase you’ll hear a lot if you take a crime-prevention class. Basically, it means that there are steps you can take to reduce the likelihood that you’ll be mugged, assaulted, or otherwise attacked. Don’t wave your cash around like you’re a billionaire. Don’t be distracted on the subway. Walk with a purpose.That last one is particularly important, because according to a new study from the Journal of Interpersonal Violence, some criminals are very good at sensing weakness based on the way you walk. Actually, serial killer Ted Bundy admitted in a personal interview in 1985 that “he could tell a victim by the way she walked down the street, the tilt of her head, the manner in which she carried herself, etc…” Unfortunately, research demonstrated the reality that criminals do in fact look for, or at least notice certain characters when selecting potential victims. While nothing excuses crime, knowledge is power in the sense that there are things we can do to protect ourselves when we are out alone.In the report titled “Psychopathy and Victim Selection” the researchers surveyed 47 criminals at a maximum-security prison in Ontario and found that social predators are very good at picking victims based on their posture and gait(步伐). They noted that people might be releasing vulnerability to criminals through their postures, gestures, and exaggerated movements.The researchers secretly filmed 12 people walking — eight women and four men, some of whom had been attacked before. Then, they showed the video to a group of criminals and asked them whether or not each person would make a good victim. These “victim ratings” were then compared against each person’s actual history of victimization. Sure enough, the people whom the criminals picked as “likely victims” were usually the ones who had been victimized in the past. These people were often said to have “walked like an easy target” — slowly, unfocused, with short steps.The sample size here is really small. Maybe we shouldn’t give this study’s findings too much weight. Nevertheless, it emphasizes something that seems pretty unconscious. Criminals aren’t looking for a challenge. Rather, they want someone timid and inattentive. So stride down the street like you own it. Your new, aggressive gait may scare off criminals. And even if this study turns out to be total bullshit, you’ll still get where you’re going a lot faster. 8．Why does the author mention the serial killer Ted Bundy?A．To call on more people to learn psychology.B．To prove that someone can be a natural criminal.C．To demonstrate some skills to distinguish criminals.D．To emphasize the importance of the right walking habit.9．How did the researchers conduct their research on victim selection?A．By analyzing crime data in various neighborhoods.B．By filming people walking and getting criminals’ opinions.C．By filming criminals as they selected their potential victims.D．By studying the psychology of crime victims in a maximum-security prison. 10．According to the research which gait will most attract criminals’ attention?A．Distracted walking with short steps.B．Purposeful walking with slow steps.C．Walking with a group of people cheerfully.D．Walking with confident and exaggerated movements.11．What’s the author’s attitude toward walking confidently and aggressively?A．Favorable.B．Doubtful.C．Disapproving.D．Indifferent.I am neither Jewish nor Palestinian, and none of my six regular jobs have anything to do with foreign policy, but the other day I opened Twitter (now called X) after some time offline, only to find people I don’t know demanding that I make a public statement about what’s happening in the Middle East. It seemed that most of the people on social media had made a statement, including various well-known brands, celebrities and lifestyle influencers.I saw lots of random citizens being told that if they didn’t speak out, they, too, would have blood on their hands. Taking a stand on social media instantly will win wild applause but reduces complex issues to a simple yes or no.Those social media posts without serious thinking are not what bother me most, though. Instead, it’s the idea that not posting is wrong — that everyone needs to speak, all the time. It discourages shutting up and listening and letting the voices that matter the most be heard over the noise. It implies it’s not OK to have any uncertainty about what’s going on. It does not leave time or space for people to process disturbing events in their own minds or to gather more information before pronouncing a judgment. It pressures people who don’t have an opinion yet or are working out what they think to produce one opinion immediately and present it to an audience of total strangers on the Internet who will quickly judge whether it’s appropriate or not.“Nothing pays off like self-control of tongue and pen,” writes A．A．’s co-founder Bill Wilson. “We must avoid quick-tempered criticism and extreme anger,” which he calls “emotional idiot got trapped by pride and revenge.” While I’ve regretted posting half-formed thoughts too quickly, I’ve never regretted waiting until I was less angry or not posting at all. 12．Why does the author mention his/her race and jobs in the first paragraph?A．To reflect the author’s professional research background.B．To introduce the topic of the widespread use of social media.C．To discuss the impact of social media violating personal privacy.D．To express dissatisfaction with commenting on something without personal ties. 13．What bothered the author most about social media posts?A．Pressure to take a stand.B．Shutting up and listening.C．Lack of diversity in opinions.D．Complex issues reduced to yes or no.14．What can we infer based on what Bill Wilson said?A．Avoiding creating argument is a virtue.B．Quick-tempered criticism is rewarding.C．Producing immediate opinion is an ability.D．Control of what you say and write is beneficial.15．Which would be the best title for this text?A．“Speak Out for the Disadvantages in a Social Media Age”B．“I Don’t Have To Post About My Anger, Neither Do You”C．“Silence Is Golden: A Guide to Ignoring World Issues Like a Pro”D．“Keep Angry, Keep Reasonable: Avoiding the Mess on Social Media”How to Have Open CommunicationWhen you can communicate openly, you can start improving your relationships, both personal and professional, in a number of ways. 16 There are a few things that you can do when you have an open conversation.17 Be mindful of where and when you need to have a discussion with someone, especially if you are having an important disagreement. Someone is not likely to be open when communicating if you are surrounded by family or out in public. Therefore, have a discussion when it’s more convenient for both you and your partner.Have patience. When emotions are high, it can be easy to be swept in those feelings and want to get all your points across. But this can make communication more difficult because you are so focused on your feelings that you aren’t able to focus on what you need to say. Be patient and allow for silences that happen. 18Take the time to listen to what the other person is saying. 19 This allows you to see if there is any misunderstanding and allows you the time to understand his words accurately. You don’t need to agree on all his words, but it is important to understand where they’re coming from.Be honest with your thoughts and your feelings. Sometimes we feel the need to soften our words to lessen the blow. 20 After all, when we leave out certain details, we’re not able to communicate openly. You need to be honest with your partner about your needsand your experiences. By doing so, you’re hopefully closer to being able to tackle the issue.A．Wait for the appropriate time and place.B．Discuss what you need to communicate openly.C．Bring something positive into your communication.D．This could be because we don’t want to hurt the other person.E．Ask questions if you need to and even repeat what he has said.F．Open communication increases trust and helps bridge differences.G．Sometimes you need time to think and accurately express yourself.二、完形填空Krista Sheneman was diagnosed with diabetes (糖尿病) around five years ago.

D．Compared【分析】与整个地球的大小相比较，最大的海洋一点也不显大．【解答】答案：D．compare是动词原形，在句中作谓语，而本题横线处应该使用非谓语动词，可排除A．compared with（作为过去分词词组）与…相比，在句中作状语，为一固定表达；我们还可以这样理解：句子的主语是the biggest ocean，与动词compare 是逻辑上的被动关系，应该使用过去分词，排除B和C，故选D．【点评】本题考查的是非谓语动词，要分析动词与主语的逻辑关系，并结合具体的语境选择出正确的选项．22．（1分）On the one hand，we should develop our economy．_____，we should protect the environment．（）A．On the other hand B．On the wholeC．On the contrary D．At the other hand【分析】一方面，我们应该发展经济，另一方面，我们要包护环境．【解答】答案：A．分析句子的结构可知，本句考查短语on the one hand，On the other hand一方面，另一方面；用来陈述事情的两个方面，on the whole总的来说；on the contrary

is all agreed that a good education doesn't ________ a good job．（）A．guarantee B．result C．depend D．swear【分析】人们都同意好的教育并不能保证有份好的工作．【解答】答案是A．本题考查动词词义辨析．guarantee vt．保证；result vi．发生，导致；后果；depend

War，所以划线处应该是强调句型的标志词that；故选A．【点评】结合近几年有关高考题的特点，将其变化形式归纳如下：强调句型的一般疑问句形式．一．句式特征：Is/Wasit+被强调部分+that…；二、结合特殊疑问词构成特殊疑问句形式．句式特征：特殊疑问词+is/was it that…？三、强调句型的反意疑问句形式．句式特征为：It is/was+被强调部分+that…，isn't/wasn't it？四、强调句型的感叹句形式．句式特征为：what/how …it is（that）+主语+谓语！27．（1分）Do you think that prices of vegetables will ？（）A．rise up B．bring down C．go up D．raise【分析】你认为蔬菜的价格为上涨吗？【解答】答案是C．本题考查动词短语辨析．根据语境判断，题干中需要的是不及物的动词或短语，而raise 与bring down 为及物动词，意思分别为"上升"，"下降"；不及物的短语rise up 意为"上升，起义"，不表示价格；go up 意为"上升"，为不及物动词．所以答案选择C．【点评】本题考查动词短语词义辨析，考生在平时的学习中应注意积累相应的词汇和搭配，并牢记其意思．在做题时，将词义和题干相结合，从语法、句子结构尤其是句意上去判断，句意通顺，符合逻辑，即正确答案．28．（1分）My opinion is ________the same as yours．（）A．and so on B．on the other

选项．【点评】本题考查短语的辨析，做此类题目时一定要清楚各个选项的含义及用法，再结合句意及其它要求选出最终答案．33．（1分）You can go out，_________ you promise to be back before 11 o'clock．（）A．as far as B．so far asC．when D．as/so long

if"即使"．其他选项的含义分别是B"自从"；C"是否"；D"直到"．【点评】考查从属连词．even if与even though的区别：even if一般引导的是把握不大或假设的事情，even though引出的是事实．如：Even if we achieve great success in our work，we should not be proud．即使我们在工作中取得了巨大成绩，也不应该自满．Even though he was late，he was not criticized by the teacher．虽然他晚了，可他并没有受到老师的批评．第二节完形填空（满分20分）36．（20分）A poor girl was selling flowers in the street （36）B Christmas Eve．Her

Within seconds, they were 30 to a typical café in Seoul, South Korea and were encouraged to begin a situational conversation with Korean peers, whose statements and questions had been 31This is the way the innovative world of language 32 is going as virtual-reality learning videos enter the classroom and provide students with the closest thing to real-life situation that they could possibly get."A lot of literature says that it is really important to be exposed to the language and culture in order to succeed in language learning," said Song, a lecturer of Korean whose papers focused on comparing a face-to-face andvirtual-world environment for 33 second-language learners' interactional competence. "But technically, it would be bard for students to go to Korea and learn Korean there, so I wanted to bring that setting to the classroom so that students can 34 it with the virtual-reality glasses and their cellphones."Song is one of the first instructors in the university's School of Humanities' Center for Languages and Intercultural Communication to incorporate the technology in her classroom.In recent years, 35 for Korean language classes at Rice has doubled to more than 100 students per year. A key driver, according to Song, is South Korea's export of pop culture, fueled by the popularity of Korean pop（K-pop）music and videos on YouTube and serialized TV K-dramas.Other virtual-reality scenarios that Song's students engage in include shopping in a supermarket, traveling on the subway and visiting a doctor's office."This local setting…really gives it the real-life situation experience of learning language and culture," said Siyu Geng, a senior 36 in mathematical economic analysis."The world is getting into a multilingual and multicultural era," Song said. "In this time, it's very useful to learn foreign language and culture to become 37 professionals in this linguistically and culturally diverse world." III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Pill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.By 2030, 60 percent of the world's population is expected to live in big cities. How all those people live, and what their lives are like, will 38 important choices leaders make today and in the coming years.Technology has the power to help people live in communities that are more 39 to their needs and that can actually improve their lives. For example, Beijing, troubled by air pollution, is testing a 23-foot-tall air 40 that cleans up smog, filters the bad particles（微粒）and releases clear air.This isn't a vision of life in the family comedy The Jetsons. It's real urban communities responding in real-time to changing weather, times of day and citizen needs. These efforts can cover entire communities. They can vary from monitoring traffic to keeping cars moving efficiently or measuring air 41 to warn residents when pollution levels climb.Using data and electronic sensors in this way is often 42 as building "smart cities," which are the subject of a major push to improve how cities function. In part a response to unreasonable infrastructure（基础设施）design and urban planning of the past, smart cities 43 real-time monitoring, analysis and improvement of city decision-making. The results, supporters say, will improve efficiency, environmental sustainability and citizen engagement.Smart city projects are big investments that are supposed to drive social 44 Decisions made early in the45 determine what exactly will change. But most research and planning regarding smart cities is driven by the technology, 46 the needs of the citizens. Little attention is given to the social, policy and organizational changes that will be required to ensure smart cities are not just technologically comprehensive but intelligently 47 to their residents' needs. Design will make the difference between smart city projects offering great prospect or actually increasing or even widening the existing gaps in unequal ways their cities serve residents.A key 48 of smart cities is that they create efficiency. Well-designed technology tools can 49 government agencies, the environment and residents. Smart cities can improve the efficiency of city services by finding ways to save money and streamlining workers' responsibilities. The results can provide higher-quality at lower cost.38.

A. sustainable B. equivalent C. adaptive D. substantial48. A. feature B. entrance C. ingredient D. passion49. A. represent B. exhaust C. benefit D. approveSection BDirections: Read the following two passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have read.（A）A culture that values achievement and progress will discourage people from "wasting" time. In religious societies, customs specify times of the day, week, or year for prayer and religious celebrations. If an individual tries to make an appointment during a sacred holiday, he or she could unknowingly offend a religious person. Social manners determine appropriate times for visit, meetings, and even phone calls.Punctuality is important in American business, academic and social settings. The importance of punctuality is taught to young children in school. People who keep appointments are considered dependable. If people are late to job interviews, appointments or classes, they are often viewed as unreliable and irresponsible. In the business world, "time is money" and companies may fine their executives for being late to business meetings. Of course, it was not always possible to be punctual. Social and business manners also provide rules for late arrivals. Calling on the telephone if one is going to be more than a few minutes late for scheduled appointments is considered polite and is often expected. Keeping a date or a friend waiting beyond ten to twenty minutes is considered rude. On the other hand, arriving thirty minutes late to some parties is acceptable.Respecting deadlines is also important in academic and professional circles. It is expected that deadlines for class assignments or business reports will be met. Whether it is a question of arriving on time or of meeting a deadline, people are culturally conditioned to regulate time.Time is tangible; one can "gain time", "spend time", "waste time", "save time", or even "kill time"! The treatment of time as a possession influences the way time is carefully divided. Generally, Americans are taught to do one thing at a time and may be uncomfortable when an activity is interrupted. Visitors who "drop by" without prior notice may interrupt their host's personal time. Thus, calling friends on the telephone before visiting them is generally preferred to visitors "dropping by". To accommodate other people's schedules. Americans make business plans and social engagements several days or weeks in advance.50. Who are considered reliable and responsible according to the passage?A. People who make appointments during sacred holidays.B. People who always have good plans and save time.C. People who would not like to disturb othersD. People who are punctual for appointments51. The word "tangible" in Paragraph 4 can be best replaced by___________ according to the passage.A. limitedB. flexibleC. valuableD. material52. Which of the following statements about American social life is TRUE?A. Americans treat time so carefully as to bear unexpected interruption.B. Americans visit their friends without noticing them in advance.C. Americans prefer being visited to being called on the telephone.D. Americans make business plans and social engagements beforehand.53. What is this passage mainly concerned with?A. How Americans have a future orientation.B. How Americans are influenced by their religion.C. How time is regulated and perceived in the US.D. How achievement and progress are valued in the US.（B）Top Scientists Take SidesFamous Inducers（Experiment> ）Gregor Mendel（1822-1884）Mendel spent years recording variations in theappearance of peas and other living things. By analysingthis data, he identified mathematical laws that governgenetics.Alexander Fleming（1881-1955）While studying bacteria, Fleming observed that breadmold（霉）could kill bacteria harmful to human health.This led him to discover penicillin, the first effectiveantibiotic.Ernest Rutherford（1871-1937）During an experiment, Rutherford noted that energeticparticles could pass easily through thin metal foil（箔）.From this evidence he formulated a scientific law: theFamous Deducers（Theory> Experiment）Isaac Newton（1643-1727）Inspired by the motion of falling objects（but probablynot an apple!）Newton proposed that all objects attracteach other. Only later did he perform calculations toprove that his idea, "universal gravitation," was true.Democritus（c. 460-370 B.C. ）Based on philosophical principles, Democritus arguedthat a material cannot be divided into smaller piecesforever; he called its smallest possible unit an "atom."Democritus had no means to test his theory. But laterexperimenters proved atoms are real.Alfred Wegener（1880-1930）atom is mostly empty space. Noticing the interlockable shapes of the continents,Wegener made the bold proposal that Earth's landmasses began as a single, giant continent. Over manyyears, many disciplines including geology andfossilology would finally prove that his theory of"continental drift" is accurate.54. Which of the following best define "Inducers" and "Deducers" according to the poster?A. Inducers are those who arrive at a conclusion based on theories.B. Inducers prefer to make experiments to prove some relative theories.C. Deducers usually do more experiments than develop theories.D. Deducers tend to arrive at a conclusion by reasoning or inference.55. Which of the following is True according to the poster?A. Mendel recognised mathematical laws governing genetics by farming.B. Newton proposed the idea "universal gravitation" by observing the falling of apples.C. It was Fleming who made the discovery of the first effective antibiotic.D. Alfred Wegener created the theory of "continental drift" after he found rich evidence.56. Where can this poster most probably be seen?A. In a university lecture.B. In a physics textbook.C. In a science magazine.D. In an advertisement.Section CDirections: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A. In fact, they tended to return to the way they felt before they became rich.B. Nowadays people look to technology as an alternative source of satisfaction.C. Family relationships in particular seem to be the key to long-term contentment.D. You can't buy happiness but it looks like you can at least inherit it, some researchers said.E. The database makes it clear that there is not a strong connection between material wealth and general contentment.F. An important implication is that personality traits of being outgoing and reliable provide a resource that drives future happiness.Can Happiness Be Bought?There is a Web site called the "World Database of Happiness". It combines and analyzes the results of hundredsof surveys from around the world that have been conducted on life satisfaction. Most of the findings are predictable, but a few are surprising.57 it is quite common to say that money can't buy happiness, but the old saying seems to be supported by research. Many people still stick to the belief that gaining riches will be the answer to all their problems, yet they are probably mistaken.Studies have been carried out on people who acquired sudden wealth, such as lottery winners. In most cases, after the initial joy had worn off, people were not left with a sense of lasting happiness. 58 Previously contented people continue to be contented, while those who were miserable before sink back into misery.If material wealth does not bring happiness, then what does? Perhaps happiness has something to do with where you live. The authorities at the World Database on Happiness have surveyed levels of happiness in different countries. Other surveys consistently point to the importance of relationships. 59 The Web site suggests that falling in love and having children are two of the situations that bring the greatest happiness.60 People increasingly spend more time alone watching TV or surfing the Internet rather than spending time with family. Can technology truly make people happy? It is too difficult to tell, but one thing is sure: If the Web site's research is accurate, time spent with your family is a better investment than time spent making money.第Ⅱ卷（共26分）IV.

This not only improves our writing skills but also helps us to communicate more effectively with others.Moreover, reading can foster a love of learning. It encourages us to seek out new information and to explore topics that interest us. This passion for knowledge can lead to further studies and opportunities in areas that we may not have considered before. Finally, reading is a great way to relax and unwind. It provides us with an escape from the stresses of daily life and allows us to enter a different world for a while.

I had slept eight hours. My unreliable left knee wasn’t bothering me. I was 1 .Then my girlfriend, Louisa, knocked on the door, asking whether I had checked my email. Race officials sent an email at 5 a. m. announcing The Twin Cities Marathon in Minneapolis and St. Paul had been 2 due to record high temperatures.While I understood why the race organizers didn’t want to put runners at 3 , I also knew that I had trained in the baking and humid Washington D．C．all summer. If I could start earlier than planned and finish around noon, I’d miss the worst 4 of the day.I went to the starting line and saw many runners despite the cancellation. I joined a group of local runners who knew the route. While running, I was overfilled with 5 to still see neighbors who gathered outside their houses 6 out bottles of water as they watched runners go by. The runners and supporters made the race feel like a real marathon, during which the shared goal of reaching the finishing line and the affirmations from the crowds made me believe I could run the 7 race.The last one mile of the route was downhill. By that point in the race, my legs felt like jelly. But from the top of the hill, I could see dozens of supporters cheering runners home, which 8 me to move on. When my smart watch finally ticked to “26.2” miles, I called out “I’m done” to Louisa, who had been giving a much needed 9 along the way. I let out a dry sob and gave Louisa a hug.

广东省广州市天河区2023~2024学年高二上学期期末考试英语试卷
广东省广州市天河区2023~2024学年高二上学期期末考试英语试卷学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解Have you ever got the feeling that your dog is judging you?Well,you’re in for a surprise because it’s actually your dog who might be viewing you with a critical eye.Eliza Fletcher and her colleagues wondered whether dogs might rate us in terms of our skillfulness, particularly when those skills might come in handy for our four-footed little friends.So they set up a simple experiment.They showed60dogs two persons opening containers.One person is competent.That person was able to pop open the top after just a couple of twists while the other person failed at this task.That person tried to open the lid,but then gave up.The actors repeated the performance on a second container,with the same results.Then the researchers handed both actors a third container.In some trials,this container was empty.In others,it contained a treat. And what they found was that female dogs spent more time staring expectantly at the person who had previously demonstrated container-opening know-how.And they were more likely to approach the competent person,but only when they thought they might get free food.Dogs in the empty condition showed no preferences.So,why would females be more careful observers of people’s performances than males? Female advantage in the social cognitive domain(认知领域)has been reported across many species including humans.In other words,in many cognitive studies,furry females seem to show a higher social IQ than males.And sex differences have been seen in other dog studies. For example,females look at their owners more frequently and longer than males when facing unsolvable task.Female dogs solve significantly more tasks than males in social learning task.So,next time Fifi looks at you with those puppy dog eyes,you might be thinking,what a good dog!But she might be thinking,eeem,you could do better.1．Why did Eliza Fletcher do the experiment?A．To figure out the rate of human skills.B．To prove dogs have better skills than humans.C．To test whether dogs judge human’s skillfulness.from brands that reflect the values they believe in.Everyone should enjoy the same range of fashion choices,”says Ludovica Ospina,professor of marketing at the College of Business. 4．What do the underlined words“the elephant in the room”in paragraph1mean?A．Hardly satisfied.B．Socially accepted.C．Widely promoted.D．Obvious but ignored.5．What is Marie North’s attitude towards the all-size trend?A．Unclear.B．Negative.C．Puzzled.D．Cautious. 6．For what are some brands criticized by researchers?A．Their motivation.B．Their promotion.C．Their devotion.D．Their advertisement.7．What should fashion industry do in a body-diverse world?A．Provide more fashion choices.B．Show respect to the consumers.C．Produce clothes in various sizes.D．Build private relationships with customers.I still remember the first time I told my then-six-year-old son,Lev,that a clam makes calls with its“shell phone”.The laugh of recognition when he first got the joke was a moment I won’t ever forget.When I told it a second time in front of his friends Henry and Amir,I could see how proud he was that I had made his friends laugh.Excuse the showing off,but I was the cool dad.By Lev’s ninth birthday party,things had begun to change.After the seventh or eighth time I asked him“What do you call someone with no body and no nose?”he rolled his eyes.“I get it,Dad…”“…Nobody knows!”“Stop it,Dad!”I immediately shifted gears into food puns,but I got nothing except head shakes.I’m pretty sure I heard him say“Sorry about my dad”to his friends as they all ran off to play on their phones together.I used to be the life of every kids party.I was the one who always had a knock-knock joke at the party.Other parents loved that I could show up at any event and distract their kids with age-appropriate wordplay.Sure,there were other dads with their jokes,but I felt as if no one ever stole my crown.I tell you all this because after a lot of soul-searching,I believe it’s time.My kids aren’t grown and out of the house,but I’ve come to realize that I’ll never be able to compete with二、完形填空34．A．Therefore B．However C．Afterwards D．Besides 35．A．Spain B．China C．France D．Germany三、语法填空四、选词填空五、完成句子六、书信写作66．你校英文报为庆祝校美食文化节，向全校学生征集“我与一道美食的故事”。

So Ibecame an extremely shy young lady.One day Mr. Hadley told us that we would be required to come to the front of the class and read the reports that we had completed.When my turn came, I refused to stand in front of all those students and open up to their tricks. Mr. Hadley handed me my report and asked me to read it. I gave it back to him. He walked to the front and said,“Martha has a very good report here and I think everyone needs to hear her read it. If you make strange noises or make fun of her in any way, I will let you fail right here and now. OK?”Mr. Hadley walked back to me and handed me the paper again, asking me to go to the front of the class. I walked there on legs that were shaking and I felt a rabbit in my chest. Everyone was all quiet, including those boys. I stood there trying to be calm.Mr. Hadley walked over to me and put his arm around me,“You can do it. I have confidence in you!”His words helped me calmdown. I read the report and instead of the kids laughing at me and making fun of me, they all stood up and clapped their hands.From that day on the kids never made fun of me any more and some actually made friends with me. I continued to be quite shy all through school but I knew if I had to stand up in front of the class, I could do it.51.

Even though it is in the busiest part of the city, it has grass and trees around it, and benches for people to sit on. Even more unusual in crowded New York, its rooms are very large. The roof of the Main Reading Room is 51 feet high. Here, a reader can sit and work in comfort.The library has over thirty million books andpaintings. It owns one of the first copies of a Shakespeare’s play, a Bible printed in the 15th century, and a letter written by Columbus in which he tells of finding the new world.Every New Yorker can visit the library and use its riches -- free.But the cost of running the library has risen sharply in recent years, and the library has not enough money to continue its work. In the past, it was open every day. Now it is closed on Saturdays and Sundays and every evening to save money.The library is trying to raise more money to meet its increasing cost. Well-known writers and artists are trying to help. So are the universities, whose students use the library, and the government of New York City. But the problem remains serious.Yet a way must be found to save the library because, as one writer said,“The Public Library is the most important building in New York City -- it contains all our knowledge.”56. Where is the New York Public Library?A. Outside New York.B. In the north of the city.C. In the busiest part of New York.D. In the heart of a university.57. What can be found in the library?A. A Bible read by Columbus.B. All the copies of Shakespeare’s plays.C. More than forty million paintings.D. A letter about finding the new world.58. The periods when the library is open now include _______ .A. Tuesday eveningB. Sunday morningC. Saturday afternoonD. Monday morning59. What is the passage mainly about?A, Saving a library. B. Repairing an old building.C. Building a new library.D. Reading in comfort.60. Which of the following is TRUE？A. The library has grass and trees in it.B. New Yorkers don’t have to pay to use the library.C. Famous writers don’t have to pay to use the library.D. The main reading room of the library is 15 feet high.CIf you ask someone why he or she wears clothes, the answer will probably be "to keep warm and to cover my body". These are the basic reasons why clothes are worn, but people also want to look attractive and appear successful to others.If people only wore clothes for warmth and to cover their bodies, most clothes would be simple and cheap. In most Western countries, however, clothes are sometimes very expensive. The main reason for this is not the cost of the cloth or the cost of making the clothes. The clothes are expensive because of fashion（时尚）.Successful businessmen, for example, often wear very expensive suits, shirts and ties. Sometimes they pay thousands of dollars for a suit and hundreds of dollars for a tie. It’s just a suit and a tie but they pay these prices because of the famous name of the designer. A suit costing much less would be just as warm and would cover the wearer's body just as well.Fashion is always changing, which means those who want to be fashionable have to buy new clothes every few months, even if last month's clothes have only been worn once or twice. Some people have wardrobes full of clothes that have hardly been worn but are no longer in fashion. Being fashionable, therefore, can be a very expensive pastime(消遣)!61. What do people basically wear clothes for?A. Looking attractive to others.B. Following the fashion.C. Appearing successful to others.D. Keeping warm and covering bodies.62. The main reason why clothes are sometimesvery expensive is that _______.A. one has to buy new clothesB. these clothes are in fashionC. the cost of the cloth is highD. making clothes costs much63. We can learn from the passage that _______.A. expensive clothes are not worth their pricesB. fashion is not always changingC. expensive clothes are warmerD. fashion designers like expensive clothes64. What does the underlined word “wardrobes” in Paragraph 4 mean?A. Fashionable clothes shops.B. The clothes that some people have.C. Cupboards for storing clothes.D. Shelves used for keeping books.65. What is the passage mainly about?A. Suits and ties.B. Clothes and fashion.C. Beauty and success.D. Cost and pastime.DWhen I was 16 years old, I made my first visit to the United States. It wasn’t the first time I had been abroad. Like most of English children, I learned French at school. And I had often been to France, so I was used to speaking a foreign language to people who didn’t understand English. When I went to America I was really looking forward to having a nice easy holiday without any language problems.How strong I was! The misunderstanding began at the airport. I was looking for a public telephone to give my friend Rose a call and tell her that I had arrived. A friendly old man saw me looking lost and asked if he could help. “Yes,”I said,“I want to give my friend a ring.”“Well, that’s nice,” he said,“Are you getting married, young man？But aren’t you a bit young?“I’m not talking about marriage,” I replied,“I only want to give my friend a ring to tell her I’vearrived. Can you tell me where is a phone box?”“Oh!” he said, “There’s a phone downstairs.”When at last we met, Rose explained the misunderstanding to me.“Don’t worry,” she said to me,“I had so many difficulties at first. There are lots of words which the Americans use differently in meaning from the British. You will soon get used to all the funny things they say. Most of the time British and American people understand each other.”66. Where was the writer from?A. AmericaB. EnglandC. FranceD. China67. At the airport, the writer wanted ________.A. to tell Rose his arrivalB. his friend to see him offC. to make friends with RoseD. to go to the telephone company68. At first, the old man thought the writer wished to ________.A. make a phone callB. sell aringC. get marriedD. repair a phone69. What does the underlined word “they” in the last paragraph refer to?A. The FrenchB. The AmericansC. The BritishD. The Canadians70. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. American English is completely different from British English.B. British people don’t have any language problems in the US.C. Most of French children are required to learn English at school.D.

第二部分阅读（共两节，满分50分）第一节（共15题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分）阅读下列四篇短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
AWhen Thanksgiving is drawing near,many families are getting ready to enjoy a tradition that goes back hundreds of years:baking and eating delicious pie.Two classic desserts will battle it out at holiday tables.Is pumpkin pie better than apple pie?Yes—pumpkin pie is perfectThree reasons why pumpkin pie is better than apple pie1.As one of America’s first crops,pumpkin has become fall’s signature flavor since the early18th century.Even300years ago,Americans knew it was the best pie.2.With its warm,comforting mix of cinnamon(肉桂),nutmeg(豆蔻),and other spices,delicious pumpkin pie gives you perfect bites that melt in your mouth,which simply can’t be beaten.3.As a bonus,pumpkins are packed full of vitamins and nutrients that are good for your body.So cut a perfectly shaped slice of pumpkin goodness and dig in.No—apple pie all the wayThree reasons why pumpkin pie is not better than apple pie1.Apple pie is just about as old as our country and even appeared in America’s first cookbook. Have you heard the expression“It’s as American as apple pie”?No one says that about pumpkin pie!2.There are countless variations on the classic,with different spices and flavorings,dried fruits and nuts,and different crusts(酥皮).Apple pie is the clear winner for people who love the balance of fruit and buttery pie crust.3.To quote another expression,“An apple a day keeps the doctor away.”That means apples are nutritious and help keep us healthy.Now that you’ve read a bit more about this issue,click here to vote in our debate.Vote YES if you think pumpkin pie is better than apple pie or NO if you don’t.We’ll publish the results next week.21.What do pumpkin pie and apple pie have in common?a.They are full of nutrients.b.They have similar flavor.c.They have deep roots in America.A.abB.bcC.acD.abc22.Where can the text be found?A.On a menu.B.On a website.C.In a magazine.D.In a cookbook.23.What’s the purpose of the text?A.To invite readers to vote in a debate.B.To distinguish pumpkin pie from apple pie.C.To advertise pumpkin pie is better than apple pie.D.To encourage baking and eating pie at Thanksgiving.BEugene Newman Parker,a leading figure in heliospheric(日球层的)physics for the past half century,passed away peacefully at his home in Chicago on Mar.15.He was94.Hailed(誉为)as a visionary in the field of heliophysics,Parker revolutionized our understanding of the sun and its effects on Earth and other bodies within the solar system.NASA even stated that“the field of heliophysics exists in large part because of Dr.Eugene Parker.In2018,Parker became the first living scientist to witness the launch of a spacecraft that was named in his honor.Parker is best known for his groundbreaking theory on the existence of a phenomenon called “solar wind”,a continuous stream of charged particles(粒子)that flow off the sun.It can become violent,causing space weather that impacts the Earth.When Parker’s research was published in1958, his theory was initially met with skepticism and ridicule by the scientific community.The general view at the time was that the space between planets was an absolute vacuum(真空),and was thus completely empty of any matter.But,there were no errors in his study or his calculations,and the theory was later proven to be correct in1962,when a NASA spacecraft mission to Venus revealed the constant presence of a supersonic wind—exactly as Parker had predicted.That experience likely led to the advice Parker often gave young researchers:“If you do something new or innovative,expect trouble.But think critically about it because if you’re wrong,you want to be the first one to know that.”Parker never co-authored a paper with his students,thus urging them to be independent.Parker was humble,straightforward,and wise.His son Eric said,“My sister Joyce and I didn’t get a real feel for what a‘big dog’our dad was in the field.”They got an even better sense when a month after Parker’s death,they traveled to Lund,Sweden,to accept on his behalf the Crafoord Prize in Astronomy.24.What can we learn from the second paragraph?A.A spacecraft was named in memory of Parker.B.The sun has less effects on Earth than expected.C.Parker deserved credit for his great contributions.D.NASA provided new insights into the lunar effect.25.Why did people view Parker’s theory of“solar wind”skeptically at first?A.It went against the popular opinion at that time.B.Some mistakes were found in his calculations.C.The presence of a supersonic wind was proven by NASA.D.Matter was believed to exist in the space between planets.26.What did Parker suggest young researchers do?A.seek close cooperationB.learn by trial and errorC.avoid high expectationspete against others27.What words can be used to describe Parker according to the passage?A.straightforward and generousB.responsible and accessibleC.intelligent yet meanD.distinguished yet modestCAccording to body language expert Robert Phipps,the way people sleep at night actuallydetermines a lot about the type of personality they have.Phipps has identified four sleeping positions that affect personality.Phipps found that worriers,those who stress the most,tend to sleep in the fetal position.He found that this is the most common bedtime position,with nearly58percent of people sleeping on their side with knees up and head down.The more we curl up,the more comfort we are seeking,according to Phipps.The second most common position is the log.Sleeping with a straight body,with arms at each side，as if they are standing guard at Buckingham Palace，indicates stubbornness,and these people(the 28percent who sleep this way)often wake up stiffer than when they went to sleep.“The longer you sleep like this,the more rigid your thinking is and you can become inflexible, which means you make things harder for yourself,”according to Phipps.Yearner(向往型)sleepers are next on the list.About25percent of people sleep in this style—on their side with arms stretched out in front,looking as if they are either chasing a dream or perhaps being chased themselves.Yearners are typically their own worst critics,always expecting the best results,explained Phipps.These people often wake up refreshed and eager to face the challenges of the day ahead.Perhaps the most peculiar of sleep styles is the freefaller position.This sleep style makes up17 percent of the population.They sleep face down with arms stretched out.These people,according to Phipps,feel like they have little control over their life.Not only is this the strangest of sleep styles,but also the least comfortable,and people may wake up feeling tired and have no energy.In conclusion,Phipps has only one more thing to add,“A good night’s sleep sets you up for the following day and our sleeping positions can determine how we feel when we wake.”28.What is the main idea of the passage?A.A Good Night's Sleep Sets You Up for the Following DayB.Your Personality Depends a Lot on How You Sleep at NightC.How You Sleep at Night Affects What You Do the Next DayD.Which Sleeping Position Helps You Sleep Comfortably29.Which of the following pictures is the fetal position?30.The underlined word“rigid”is closest in meaning to“________”.A.stubbornB.flexiblefortableD.strange31.Which sleeping position indicates that the sleeper tends to seek perfection?A.The fetal position.B.The log position.C.The freefaller position.D.The yearner position.DSupermarket shelves are filled with plant-based alternatives to cow milk,including soy,nut,and coconut milk.These products are popular with consumers who cannot drink cows’milk for health reasons,as well as with those concerned about animal welfare and environmental sustainability.While the dairy-free options work well with cereal or in coffee,they fail miserably when it comes to makingmilk-based products like cheese or yogurt.However,these shortcomings may soon be a thing of the past,thanks to a new company in California,which has figured out how to create animal-free milk in a laboratory!Perumal Gandhi and Ryan Pandya founded the company in2014after becoming increasingly annoyed with the lack of cows’milk-free alternatives,particularly for cheese.For Gandhi,who stopped consuming animal products five years earlier due to environmental and animal welfare concerns,the motivation to create a better alternative stemmed from his love of cheesy pizza.Pandya was spurred into taking action after being forced to eat some“really bad”dairy-free cream cheese on his sandwich.The two MIT biomedical engineering scientists decided to join forces to create a more realistic alternative to dairy-based products.In their university lab,the pair spent nine months first isolating cow DNA then inserting it into yeast(酵母).This genetic modification enabled the yeast to produce the necessary milk proteins.The final step of the process involved mixing the proteins with some plant nutrients and fats.The dairy-free milk not only tastes like the real thing but is also healthier,has a longer shelf life and,most important of all,is Earth friendly.According to the company’s website,when compared to conventional milk production,their process uses65%less energy,creates84%less greenhouse gas emissions and requires91%less land and an amazing98%less water!Best of all,since it contains real milk proteins,the product behaves like the cow-produced version,which means vegetarian consumers will no longer have to deal with soggy cheese on their sandwiches and pizzas.The company plans to bring their creation to market later this year and their first product will most likely be cheese since there are already numerous good cows’milk alternatives available to consumers.32.The underlined word"those"in paragraph1refers to_______.A.alternativesB.productsC.peopleD.reasons33.The company’s founders were motivated to make the new product because of_______.A.their deep concern for the environmentB.the poor taste of dairy-free cheese presently availableC.the over-consumption of the dairy-based productsD.their worry that farm animals were poorly treated34.What can be inferred from paragraph4?A.The dairy-free products cannot be stored for a long time.B.The new products will taste better than dairy-based ones.C.Cow farming causes considerable environmental
