Since 2017, the group has made it its mission to remove trash from ponds across Cape Cod.The group’s existence is owed to Susan Baur, a retired psychologist. A lifelong nature lover, she had begun swimming in ponds on the cape as a safer choice to the ocean. Seeing the growing garbage in the pond, in 2017, she rounded up two friends and approached a stranger with a kayak (皮艇), and together they cleared the litter from a pond. Soon others joined them.While many outsiders have expressed their gratitude to OLAUG for cleaning up the ponds, a number have questioned why they refer to themselves as“old ladies”. Although she admits that it wasn't initially a conscious choice, she now believes that the “old lady” identity is an extremely important part of what the group is about.“Over 65, if you’re healthy enough to do what we’re doing, it is the age of thankfulness,” Baur says. She notes that “women over 65 tend to feel the limitation of aging. ”They lose power and social standing, she says. Part of the goal of OLAUG is to show that older women, working asa team, can do a lot more than people might think.Criticism aside, the most common response is “I want to join you.” And after that first dive, the new members’excitement is easily seen.“They have just swum farther than they’ve ever swum. They've seen what they've never seen. And they’ve done good,” says Baur. “They come back with their hearts beating.”4．What can we learn about OLAUG?A．It is established by Baur’s friends.B．It offers safer swimming ponds.C．It is supported by retired psychologists.D．It aims to remove trash from ponds. 5．What do Baur’s words in paragraph 5 suggest?A．People over 65 are rarely healthy.B．People should be thankful for old age.C．Older women can still contribute to the society.D．Older people may lose chance to do what they like.6．What is the attitude of most new members towards OLAUG?A．Favorable.B．Intolerant.C．Doubtful.D．Unclear. 7．Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?A．OLAUG: Making the World a Cleaner PlaceB．OLAUG: the Only Solution to Underwater TrashC．Old Ladies: Diving Deep for a Cleaner Cape CodD．Old Ladies: Unsung Heroes of Pond ConservationIf you sit at your computer all day and then lie on the sofa for more screen time in the evening, your health can take a hit. However, a body of evidence links inactive lifestyles to an increased risk of diabetes (糖尿病), memory loss and death from heart disease. A new study finds you can cut that risk with strikingly small amounts of activity.Researcher Keith Diaz of Columbia University Medical Center and his colleagues set out to find out what’s the least amount of physical activity a person must do to reduce the health risks of sitting. They invited volunteers to come to their lab and emulate a typical work day.“They’d come in and sit for eight hours,” Diaz explains. The volunteers were connected to continuous glucose (葡萄糖) monitors to measure blood sugar levels, and their blood pressure wasmeasured, too. Then, the participants took walking breaks of different lengths and frequency.The participants walked on an exercise machine at a leisurely pace — about 1.9 miles per hour. “We were really struck by just how powerful the effects were,” Diaz says. People who moved five minutes every half-hour experienced a nearly 60% reduction in post-meal blood sugar rises. “I have never seen that kind of a drop in blood sugar, other than with medication,” Diaz says.More than one out of every three adults in the U.S. has prediabetes, and nearly half of adults have high blood pressure. Both conditions increase the risk of heart disease which is the top cause of death in the U.S.. So, Diaz says many people can benefit from small, frequent movement breaks.Each week, adults are advised to get 150 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity. It can be broken up into smaller parts, 30 minutes a day, five times a week for example or even shorter breaks that are more frequent. “I think it’s easier to find small amounts of time to get some exercise,” Diaz says.8．What does the underlined word “emulate” in paragraph 2 refer to?A．Describe.B．Imitate.C．Schedule.D．Consider.9．What do participants have to do?A．Measure their blood pressure with each other.B．Take medicines to lower blood sugar levels.C．Take breaks of different length while walking.D．Take irregular walking rests of varying duration.10．What does Diaz suggest adults do?A．Schedule a daily 150-minute exercise.B．Engage in short regular exercise breaks.C．Aim for one long exercise period per week.D．Avoid taking any breaks from work for exercise.11．In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?A．Entertainment.B．Business.C．Education.D．Health.In recent years, some researchers have been exploring the possibility of so-called “automated valet parking”, a function that would allow a car to drive itself from the entrance of a parking to a free parking spot. While this autonomous driving application gathered great research interest, its reliable realization has so far proved challenging.Researchers at Mach Drive in Shanghai recently developed OCEAN, an Openspace Collision-freE trAjectory plaNner for the autonomous parking of vehicles. This planner was found to significantly improve the ability of cars to safely reach a parking spot, without colliding (碰撞) with objects on the way. It was designed to overcome the two primary shortcomings of approaches presented in previous studies tackling autonomous parking. The first of these is the inability to accurately predict collisions, while the second involves poor performance in real-time tests.The OCEAN planner builds on a previously introduced approach called Hybrid Optimization-based Collision Avoidance (H-OBCA), dealing with its primary limitations. Its improved design ultimately improves its ability to avoid collisions, along with its stability and speed in real time. “To avoid collisions, we have redesigned a simpler mathematical model and found a method to deal with the problem, making the solution process faster and more efficient,”Wang, Lu and their colleagues wrote in their paper.They tested their planner on hundreds of simulated (模拟的) scenes and conducted real-world experiments in public parking areas. Their results were highly promising, as OCEAN was found to outperform a variety of methods for autonomous parking applications.“Results show that the proposed method has better system performance compared with other standards,” Wang, Lu and his colleagues explained in their paper. “Our method makes it possible to deploy (部署) large-scale parking planner on low computing power platforms that require real-time performance.”The planner developed by this team of researchers could be improved and tested in additional real-world trials. In the future, it could be deployed by car-making firms, contributing to the introduction of automated vehicle parking technologies.12．What challenge does automated parking face?A．Avoiding collisions with obstacles.B．Reaching a parking spot quickly.C．Increasing in research investment.D．Gathering interest in the research.13．What do we know about OCEAN?A．It performs poorly in real-time tests.B．It is based on a previous study.C．It fails to accurately predict collisions.D．It is tested mainly in public parking areas. 14．What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs?A．The planner fails on real-time platforms.B．The current planner is not perfect enough.C．Parking planner is only for small-scale use.D．The planner has been deployed on many platforms.15．What is the text mainly about?A．The underlying logic of the OCEAN planner.B．The possible application of the OCEAN planner.C．An improved planner for autonomous car parking.D．An introduction to an autonomous driving technology.How to Find Your Dream Career?In a world where we all spend so much time working, the job you have plays a big role in your overall happiness. Here are some steps you can take to help you discover your dream career.● Make a list of your favorite activities16 , so you can start by listing your favorite activities. This may include hobbies or tasks you enjoy doing at work. By answering questions like “What if money weren’t a problem?”, you can figure out the most satisfying aspects of your career.● 17Once you’ve determined your favorite activities, consider why you like them. What do you enjoy about them? For example, if you enjoy doing jigsaw puzzles (拼图游戏), you may find that using problem-solving skills to reach a logical goal motivates you.● Research roles that involve those interestsUnderstanding what you enjoy can help you find roles that include those elements.18 . If you feel motivated by solving problems at work, you can find careers in many fields that focus on solving problems depending on your interests and strengths.● Pursue training and educationAfter you decide on a career that allows you to do what you enjoy, research the education and training requirements for the job. 19 , you might explore different colleges and universities to find a program that works best for you. If your chosen career requires relevant experience, you can start with entry-level roles to gain experience for your dream job.20 . Create a detailed resume and then search for job listings. You can also ask professionals if they can recommend you for a position.A．If it requires a degreeB．Consider the jigsaw puzzle exampleC．If you want to meet job requirementsD．Determine what interests you about themE．Find careers that involve solving problemsF．After that, you can search for open positionsG．A dream career allows you to focus on your passions二、完形填空A few years ago, Ben Gomes received an upsetting call at work.

ARome can be pricey for travelers, which is why many choose to stay in a hostel (旅社). The hostels in Rome offer a bed in a dorm room for around $25 a night, and for that, you’ll often get to stay in a central location (位置) with security and comfort.Yellow HostelIf I had to make just one recommendation for where to stay in Rome, it would be Yellow Hostel. It’s one of the best-rated hostels in the city, and for good reason. It’s affordable, and it’s got a fun atmosphere without being too noisy.

Y. — Dorothy Woodruff and Rosamond Underwood — traveled to a settlement in the Rocky Mountains to teach in a one-room schoolhouse. The girls had gone to Smith College. They wore expensive clothes. So for them to move to Elkhead, Colo. to instruct the children whose shoes were held together with string was a surprise. Their stay in Elkhead is the subject of Nothing Daunted: The Unexpected Education of Two Society Girls in the West by Dorothy Wickenden, who is a magazine editor and Dorothy Woodruff’s granddaughter.Why did they go then? Well, they wanted to do something useful. Soon, however, they realized what they had undertaken.They moved in with a local family, the Harrisons, and, like them, had little privacy, rare baths, and a blanket of snow on their quilt when they woke up in the morning. Some mornings, Rosamond and Dorothy would arrive at the schoolhouse to find the children weeping from the cold. In spring, the snow was replaced by mud over ice.In Wickenden’s book, she expanded on the history of the West and also on feminism, which of course influenced the girls’ decision to go to Elkhead. A hair-raising section concerns the building of the railroads, which entailed (牵涉) drilling through the Rockies, often in blinding snowstorms. The book ends with Rosamond and Dorothy’s return to Auburn.Wickenden is a very good storyteller. The sweep of the land and the stoicism (坚忍) of the people move her to some beautiful writing. Here is a picture of Dorothy Woodruff, on her horse, looking down from a hill top: “When the sun slipped behind the mountains, it shed a rosy glow all around them. Then a full moon rose. The snow was marked only by small animals: foxes, coyotes, mice, and varying hares, which turned white in the winter.”24. Why did Dorothy and Rosamond go to the Rocky Mountains?A. To teach in a school.B. To study American history.C. To write a book.D. To do sightseeing.25. What can we learn about the girls from paragraph 3?A. They enjoyed much respect.B. They had a room with a bathtub.C. They lived with the local kids.D. They suffered severe hardships.26. Which part of Wickenden’s writing is hair-raising?A. The extreme climate of Auburn.B. The living conditions in Elkhead.C. The railroad building in the Rockies.D. The natural beauty of the West.27. What is the text?A. A news report.B. A book review.C. A children’s story.D. A diaryCCan a small group of drones (无人机) guarantee the safety and reliability of railways and, at the same time, help railway operators save billions of euros each year? That is the very likely future of applying today’s “eyes in the sky” technology to make sure that the millions of kilometres of rail tracks and infrastructure (基础设施) worldwide are safe for trains on a 24/7 basis.Drones are already being used to examine high-tension electrical lines. They could do precisely the same thing to inspect railway lines and other vital aspects of rail infrastructure such as the correct position of railway tracks and switching points. The more regularly they can be inspected, the more railway safety, reliability and on-time performance will be improved. Costs would be cut and operations would be more efficient (高效) across the board.That includes huge savings in maintenance costs and better protection of railway personnel safety. It is calculated that European railways alone spend approximately 20 billion euros a year on maintenance, including sending maintenance staff, often at night, to inspect and repair the rail infrastructure. That can be dangerous work that could be avoided with drones assisting the crews’efforts.By using the latest technologies, drones could also start providing higher-value services for railways, detecting faults in the rail or switches, before they can cause any safety problems. To perform these tasks, drones for rail don’t need to be flying overhead. Engineers are now working on a new concept: the rail drones of the future. They will be moving on the track ahead of the train, and programmed to run autonomously. Very small drones with advanced sensors and AI and travelling ahead of the train could guide it like a co-pilot. With their ability to see ahead, they could signal any problem, so that fast-moving trains would be able to react in time.28. What makes the application of drones to rail lines possible?A. The use of drones in checking on power lines.B. Drones’ ability to work at high altitudes.C. The reduction of cost in designing drones.D. Drones’ reliable performance in remote areas.29. What does “maintenance” underlined in paragraph 3 refer to?A. Personnel safety.B. Assistance from drones.C. Inspection and repair.D. Construction of infrastructure.30. What function is expected of the rail drones?A. To provide early warning.B. To make trains run automatically.C. To earn profits for the crews.D. To accelerate transportation.31. Which is the most suitable title for the text?A. What Faults Can Be Detected with DronesB. How Production of Drones Can Be ExpandedC. What Difficulty Drone Development Will FaceD. How Drones Will Change the Future of RailwaysDMinimizing the environmental damage that new roads cause is generally regarded as a good thing. But to do that, it helps to understand just how new roads cause the damage of which they are accused.Recently, a group of researchers led by Dr. Gonzalez conducted an experiment and proved that immigration is good for the health of animal populations. A road destroys only a small part of thehabitat, thus destroying just a few local populations of creatures. So the argument that road-building itself is bad for biodiversity is not self-evidently correct. Those who nevertheless hold this view say that apparently separate local populations of animals are, in fact, parts of much larger populations connected via migration.According to this theory, when a local population struggles to move about – because of an epidemic, for example – individuals from neighboring communities can fill the gaps.The implications of the theory are straightforward. Cut local populations off from each other and each is more likely to disappear. And roads are good at doing just that. Testing the theory with experimental roads, however, would be expensive. Dr. Gonzalez’s brainwave was to do the whole thing on a much smaller scale.The team studied moss-covered rocks. On some rocks the researchers left the moss untouched; on others they made “roadways” across to leave the moss isolated. After waiting six months, they found that in the disturbed habitats nearly all the bug population had declined compared with undisturbed moss, and 40% of the species had become extinct.The real test came in the second part of the experiment. In this, the researchers removed moss much as before, but they left narrow moss paths to bridge the no-bug’s-land between islands. The islands with bridges did far better than isolated islands – a result that supports the notion that population exchange is necessary to keep an ecosystem healthy.Whether these results can be translated to large-scale ecosystems remains uncertain. But if they can, they would cause more, not less, concern about the ecological effects of road-building. On the other hand, they also suggest a way out. In Britain, tunnels are often built under roads for animals of regular habits, such as badgers(獾), to be able to travel their traditional routes without having to fight with traffic. Extending that principle, perhaps special bridges might be a cheap way of letting man and nature rub along a bit better.32. What’s the main idea of the passage?A. Calling on us to stop building roads for a healthy ecosystem.B. Warning us of potential dangers of animal immigration.C. Informing us of the environmental damage caused by new roads.D. Suggesting a new way to avoid the damage caused by new roads.33. Dr. Gonzalez’s experiment found that__________.A. building roads is expensiveB. immigration is good for animalsC. roads cut off animal immigrationD. tunnels should be built under roads34. How does the author present his point?A. By analyzing facts.B. By giving examples.C. By providing scientific findings.D. By comparing possible effects.35. According to the passage, which of the following statements will the writer agree with?A. The impact of road-building is not as serious as we thought.B. Road-building is beneficial to animal immigration.C. Environmental damage caused by road-building is still uncertainD. environmental damage caused by road-building might be lessened第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

2023-2024学年浙江省温州市高二下学期期中英语检测试卷(附答案)
2023-2024学年浙江省温州市高二下学期期中英语检测试卷一、阅读理解1、 A AConsidering studying in the US? Concerned about expense? Let's explore strategies for reducing economic pressure.Finding scholarships, as many US institutions offer scholarships to international students. Make use of search engines like Fastweb or for comprehensive scholarship searches. Scholarships can be competitive due to high demand. However, a large number of opportunities exist. Tips for securing scholarships. •Academic excellence: Strong academic performance is highly regarded by universities. •Extracurricular involvement: Participation in sports, music or community service distinguishes applicants. •Seek guidance: Teachers or advisers can offer valuable advice.Alternative cost-reduction measures •On-campus employment: International students can work on campus, providing both income and networking opportunities. •Community colleges: Start studies at a community college, which is often more affordable, before transferring to a university for degree completion. Host family accommodation: Living with a US family can be a cost-effective alternative to university housingFinancial options: leans and aid Loans（贷款）: Some financial institutions loans to international students. Financial aid: Certain universities provide financial assistance to international students.Practical budgeting Home cooking: Preparing meals at home is more economical than dining out. •Second-hand purchases: Choose used books and fumiture to save on expenses •Public transportation: Take buses and trains instead of owning a car for more cost-effective travel.(1) What is an advantage in guaranteeing scholarships?A. A great gift in art.B. Excellent academic performance.C. Active participation in class activities.D. A good command of using search engines.(2) Based on the passage, which of the following statements is true?A. Community college fees are relatively high.B. Owning a car is the cheapest way to get around.C. International students have access to financial aid in some universities.D. On-campus accommodation costs much less than living with a host family.(3) Which section of a newper may the text come from?A. Education.B. Economy.C. Transportation.D. Travel.2、 B Are you an "I person" or an "E person"? These two personality labels in particular are widely discussed online. They are part of a popular personality test called the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, or MBTI. There are 16 personalities in all, of which "I" and "E" refer to "introverted" and "extroverted", respectively. Even if someone is typically quiet, many online discussions suggest that an "I person" can still act outgoing at times. For example, when an introverted person is with a group of introverted friends, they might become more social like an "E" person. According to psychologists, this idea of temporarily switching personalities is called "masking". That is hiding your true personality in specific situations. "Human beings want to feel they belong, and they might become people-pleasers to do so, " wrote the MasterClass website. Thinking on this, I may actually be the kind of person that these people are discussing. Most times, I just wish to make the atmosphere more interesting and exciting and show people that I'm easy to get along with. But deep down, I mostly enjoy being alone and quiet Using the MBTI result to identify and describe someone's personality seems fun. However, I went too far at one time. My sister was excitedly making a day-to-day travel plan when I remembered from an article that a "P person" doesn't like to make or stick to plans, so I said to her, "You don't seem like a "Pperson'". "Why? " she asked back. "Since when do I need to follow what my personality test tells me to do? " It was then that I realized that I'd taken the result too seriously. The MBTI personality test may show something you don't know about yourself and can even be a fun ice-breaker question when meeting new friends. And that's all it is-for fun. Knowing someone's MBTI result doesn't mean you really know this person.(1) An “I person" tends to ___.A. reflect on problems aloneB. enjoy gatherings with friendsC. be active in social situationsD. try to chat with complete strangers(2) Why does an "I person" act like an "E person" sometimes?A. Because he/she wants to be like others.B. Because he/she needs a sense of belonging.C. Because he/she dislikes to embarrass others.D. Because he/she is actually an "person" deep inside.(3) What does the writer mean by saying "I went too far" in paragraph 5?A. She pushed her sister too much.B. She failed to help her sister follow her plan.C. She believed blindly the result of the personality test.D. She discouraged her sister to make a detailed travel plan.(4) What does the writer think about the MBTI?A. It is supposed to be strictly followed.B. It tells you everything about your personality.C. It's an interesting way to start a chat with a stranger.D. It's a reliable approach to telling what type of people a person belongs to.3、 C When opening certain mobile apps, users often find disruptive （有干扰性的） open-app advertisements that impact their experience. Open-app advertisements are advertisements that appear in between contents or during transition screens, such as when an app is loading the next page. Some ofthese advertisements can redirect users to another app if the phone is shaken, causing a lot of frustration for consumers. These open-app advertisements function as gateways and become more common during online shopping festivals, redirecting users to shopping platforms such as Taobao and JD. Most smartphones have a gyroscope sensor （陀螺仪传感器） to detect shaking, leading to unintentional redirection. Many users not only find it annoying to find themselves on an advertisements page, but also have trouble disabling the gyroscope feature since sometimes their phones lack the choice to do so to avoid this issue. In response, authorities have introduced detailed regulations on shaking advertisements gateways. A regulation published in December 2022 outlines specific rules for the design of "shake-to-open" advertisements. It says that these advertisements can only be "clicked through" if the phone's rotation angle exceeds 35 degrees, with an action time longer than three seconds. Additionally, in February, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology emphasized that pop-up or open-app advertisements should not disrupt users' experiences. A regulation introduced in May states that advertisements must include a clear button for users to close them. Government enforcement of these regulations presents challenges, as the number of apps and developers is great. However, this should not be an exeuse for internet platforms to break the rules, as this behavior causes far more harm than good. A survey by the Jiangsu Consumer Council showed that over 90 percent of users strongly dislike open-app advertisements, feeling that their rights are being threatened. While these advertisements might lead to more clicks, the fact is that the advertisements may harm the credibility of the platforms that the advertisements lead to and weaken the users' willingness to use the platforms. Platforms can achieve a mutually beneficial （互惠互利） solution only if they respect users' choices and provide suitable advertisements that users are wiling to accept.(1) What does the first paragraph mainly talk about concerning open-app ads?A. The benefits of open-app ads for online shopping platforms.B. The lack of regulations governing traditional advertising methods.C. The effectiveness of open-app ads in increasing users' engagement.D. The negative impact of disruptive open-app ads on users' experience.(2) What was regulated in December 2022 about "shake-to-open" ads?A. They can be clicked through without any restrictions.B. They can only be clicked through on certain conditions.C. They should have a clear button for users to close them.D. They should appear for only three seconds on the screen.(3) How can platforms reach a win-win solution as mentioned in the last paragraph?A. By ignoring users' choices.B. By respecting users' preferences.C. By presenting more irrelevant ads.D. By flooding users with more profitable ads.(4) What is the best title of the passage?A. The Preferences of Shopping Platforms.B. The Challenges of Online Shopping Festivals.C. The Role of Advertisements in Improving Users' Experience.D. The Battle against Disruptive Advertisements on Mobile Apps.4、D Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD, 创伤后应激障碍) is a mental disorder that develops among people who have experienced or observed traumatic things such as wars, disasters or other violent events. At the heart of PTSD is a memory that can not be controlled. It can affect the everyday lives of its sufferers in forms such as flashbacks, nightmares and anxiety. A new study done by researchers from Yale University and the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York City suggests that patients with PTSD process their traumatic memories differently than regular memories. The researchers did brain scans of 28 PTSD patients. They asked the patients to listen to recorded narrations of their own memories. Some of the recorded memories were neutral, some were simply "sad", and some were traumatic. They found that when the patients listened to the "sad" memories, the hippocampus （海马体）, which is responsible for forming memories, was activated. But when they listened to the traumatic memories, a different area, called the posterior cingulate cortex (PCC, 后扣带回皮质), was engaged The PCC is not a memory region. Instead, it regulates internal experiences, such as daydreaming. The more severe PTSD symptoms are, the more active the PCC is. "The brain doesn't look like it is in a state of memory, it looks like it is in a state of present experience, " Daniela Schiller, one of the authors of the study, told The New York Times. That means people with PTSD feel as though they're experiencing the traumatic event again in the present moment, rather than thinking back on it like a typical memory. The new finding might hold hope for new PTSD therapies （治疗）. Future therapies are expected to focus on helping PTSD patients returm their traumatic memories to the hippocampus so that they can treat them as regular and non-disruptive （非破坏性的） memories. Changing the ways of thinking could help the brain reduce the feeling of immediate threat caused by trauma, according to llan Harpaz-Rotem, one of the paper's authors.(1) What does the underlined word "flashbacks" in paragraph I mean?A. Rapid movements of eyes.B. Loud sound in the distance.C. Repeated upsetting memories.D. Bright lights suddenly appearing.(2) How do people with PTSD recall traumatic events according to Daniela Schiller?A. They treat them as regular memories.B. They can easily control these memories.C. They struggle to remember traumatic events clearly.D. They vividly relive traumatic events as if they are happening at present.(3) What is the author's attitude towards the new finding?A. Positive.B. Negative.C. Unclear.D. Doubtful.(4) What is the purpose of the passage?A. To analyze the reasons for traumatic events.B. To inform readers of the symptoms of PTSD patients.C. To advocate patients' participation in future therapies.D. To present a research finding and its potential application.二、七选五5、 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

The Institute of Automation extended opening hours several times to accommodate visitors, and tickets were sold out in hours.Children of all ages came to see the institute's scientists conduct colorful and thought-provoking（发人深省的）physics experiments. After the show， they were able to use the instruments themselves and ask questions about their use.Cao Ying, a Beijing resident attending the event with her 3-year-old son, said that she had previously only known about these scientific achievements through the news. She added that it had been eye-opening to experience them firsthand and to talk to the scientists behind them. “Science education should start at an early age,” she said. “Seeing these scientific achievements in person makes me appreciate the hard work and ingenuity（独创性）of our scientists even more.”Chinese scientists and engineers have accomplished many great things, and the achievements should not be locked away in an ivory tower.By communicating their findings to the public, scientists also learn more about the actual needs of the people, which helps open up new areas of research and use. One example is using humanoid robots to care for the elderly.12、How did the institute involve the public in scientific events?A.By popularizing scientific findings.B.By communicating with scientists and engineers.C.By engaging the public in scientific experiments.D.

辽宁省大连市2023~2024学年高二下学期期末考试英语英语试卷一、阅读理解The World’s 4 Best Long-distance HikesSeveral new long-distance, multi-day hikes have been launched that promise visitors unique access to previously inaccessible areas, where natural landscapes and local cultures arefound.Juliana TrailSlovenia introduced the Juliana Trail in an attempt to get visitors to stay there longer and visit more. The 270km route begins at the adventure center of Kranjska Gora, near the Italian border, before circling around the Julian Alps past turquoise rivers and glacier-carved lakes. The trail is divided into 16 stages, so you can choose a shorter adventure or tackle the entire trail.Red Sea Mountain TrailMainland Egypt’s first long-distance hiking path, the Red Sea Mountain Trail links a series of ancient trade routes into a single 170km circuit that takes an average of 10 days to complete. Hikes brave enough to set off into this remote wilderness will skirt vast plain, dip into deep gorges and summit barren peaks to visit ruined Roman towns and prehistoric rock art.Paparoa Track The 5km Paparoa Track in New Zealand snakes into the rainforests of the South Island near the famous Pancake Rocks. The freshly carved trail typically takes three days on foot, or two days on a mountain bike. Along the way, you pass river gorges and hilltop lookouts with expansive views over the turquoise Tasman Sea.Liechtenstein TrailLiechtenstein celebrated its 300th birthday in 2019 by crafting a 75km walking path where citizens and visitors alike could explore three centuries of local history. The Liechtenstein Trail twists over peaks and pastures on a route that takes in 147 sites. The zigzagging north-south route takes about three days to complete.1．Why did Slovenia launch the Juliana Trail?A．To show the beauty of the Italian border.B．To attract tourists to visit Slovenia more.C．To protect the environment of the Julian Alps.D．To promote the development of local economy.2．Which is the shortest trail?A．Juliana Trail.B．Paparoa Track.C．Liechtenstein Trail.D．Red Sea Mountain Trail.3．What is special about LiechtensteinTrail?A．It offers a window into local history.B．Visitors have access to prehistoric rock art.C．Hikers can ride a mountain bike on the trail.D．It takes visitors through fascinating valleys.Born in 1958 in Nanning, Guangxi, Dr. Huang Danian became interested in geophysics early. His parents, teaching at a local geological institution, passed the passion down to him. In 1978, Huang was admitted to Changchun Institute of Geology and later taught there. He once wrote that rejuvenating (使恢复活力) the Chinese nation was their generation’s responsibility.In 1992, he went to Britain for further studies. There, he obtained his doctorate in geophysics and joined a local firm. During his time in the UK, Huang’s heart remained devoted to the motherland, frequently flying back to China to attend academic meetings or seminars related to his field. In 2008, he returned to China with great resolution. For him, no matter how successful he was abroad, the biggest satisfaction would be improving his home country.Upon his return to China, he was entrusted to work at Jilin University as a professor and chief scientist in a branch of China’s biggest deep earth exploration program. Over 400 scientists participated in the program, which aimed to fix high-tech cameras on aircraft, ships, and satellites that would enable scientists to see through the earth’s crust (地壳) without digging into it.For seven years, Huang worked racing against time. Many of his co-workers called him a workaholic while he thought he was more like a “lunatic (疯狂的人)”. “China is in urgent need of ‘lunatics’ if it is to become a stronger country. It would be an honor if I could be one of them,” he added. The lunatic’s madness paid off. He and his team helped China greatly narrow its gap with developed countries in obtaining precise data on deep earth exploration. They created a number of China’s No.1s, filling many technical gaps for China’s sky survey, ground detection, and sea exploration.During his whole life, he sought no fame, and always kept the motherland in mind. As a scientist, he fulfilled his dream of rejuvenating the nation with exceptional achievements. 4．Why did Dr. Huang decide to return and work in China?A．To work at Jilin University.B．To attend academic meetings.C．To devote himself to researching.D．To serve his motherland whole-heartedly.5．What did the deep-earth exploration program focus on?A．Discovering new mineral resources.B．Competing with developed countries.C．Equipping various platforms with cameras.D．Helping scientists explore beneath the earth’s crust.6．What did Huang and his team achieve?A．They won many international awards.B．They got accurate data on deep ocean.C．They attained many firsts in relevant fields.D．They helped China overtake developed countries.7．Which of the following can best describe Dr. Huang?A．Committed and patriotic.B．Enterprising and crazy.C．Sensitive and rigid.D．Single-minded and unreliable.Cyber-attacks may sound like something that happens only in Hollywood movies. You picture a team of talented hackers gathered around computer monitors trying to break into a secure bank or some important severs. In reality, cyber-attacks are much less exciting but no less dangerous.Cyber-attacks can happen to anybody. It doesn’t matter who you are; cyber criminals can target you. While many often think hacking victims were clueless abut digital security best practices, this isn’t always the case. True, there are plenty of apparent scams (骗局) that can be easily identified, but there are many attacks that can fool even the skillful computer-users.Criminals create fake websites and email addresses. You may think you are clicking a linkto Dropbox, only to download malware (恶意软件) onto your computer, and may never know when you have visited the wrong site and downloaded an infected file. So, it’s up to you to be vigilant and protect yourself.So you need to learn to recognize the signs of cyber-attacks. First, recognize suspicious activity on your accounts or devices. While some things may be obvious, such as account password changes, others aren’t so easy to spot. And then, you might receive a file from a trusted sender whose mail has been leaked. Sometimes, the data are even real, but the hacker may have inserted a few lines of code that can also infect your computer. You should take the time to check your “Task Manager” to get a sense of what programs are running. Check anything suspicious that’s running in the background. That’s often the sign of malware. Other things to watch out for include: random device or internet slowdown; the software you don’t recognize; inability to access your account or unscheduled shutdowns and restarts.As with everything, prevention is the best medicine. So, instead of waiting for cyber-attacks to hit you, recognize the signs to protect yourself.8．What can we learn from the first two paragraphs?A．Cyber-attacks are not really dangerous.B．Anyone can be subject to cyber-attacks.C．People don’t realize the risk of cyber-attacks.D．Cyber-attacks in Hollywood movies are exciting.9．What does the underlined word “vigilant” in paragraph 3 mean?A．Dismissive.B．Upset.C．Cautious.D．Concerned. 10．How do you find you might be attacked by cyber criminals?A．A trusted friend sent you a file.B．Your internet slows down strangely.C．You can access your account with ease.D．Your account password functions normally.11．What’s the author’s main purpose in writing the text?A．To clarify the definition of cyber-attacks.B．To analyze different types of cyber-attacks.C．To introduce how to identify cyber-attacks.D．To entertain readers with cyber-attacks in movies.China is currently constructing the world’s first commercial underwater data center, which marks a groundbreaking initiative. This project aims to revolutionize the industry by controlling the power of the ocean depths, resulting in significant energy and land savings. With the potential to match the computational abilities of approximately 6 million conventional personal computers, this underwater data center is ready to be a game-changer.The data center modules of China’s underwater facility are being installed on the seafloor at depths of around 35 meters. Designed to withstand harsh underwater conditions, these modules are expected to operate sustainably for up to 25 years. Each waterproof storage module weighs an impressive 1,300 tons and can process over 4 million high-definition images every 30 seconds.One of the most significant advantages of the underwater data center is the ability to use the natural cooling qualities of seawater. By adopting this innovative approach, the data center is estimated to save a remarkable 122 million kilowatt-hours of electricity annually. This achievement in energy efficiency emphasizes China’s commitment to sustainability and educing environmental impact.With the initial arrangement of one storage module in April, 2023 and the recent addition of a second module, the project is well underway. The grand plan aims to have a total of 100 modules fully operational by 2025, marking a significant milestone in sustainable data center development.By choosing an underwater data center, China is actively addressing the challenges of land conservation. Traditional data centers often occupy vast amounts of land. In contrast, this underwater marvel takes up minimal dry space, preserving land for other essential purposes. Additionally, the use of natural sate cooling reduces the stress on traditional energy sources, leading to a significant reduction in carbon emissions. This environmentally conscious approach corresponds with global sustainability goals ad sets an example for the industry to follow. 12．Why is China building the underwater data center?A．To reshape the data center industry.B．To make full use of energy and land.C．To control the power of the ocean depths.D．To improve computers’ computational ability.13．What can be learnt about the underwater data center’s modules?A．They are light and easy to reposition.B．They will be replaced every few years.C．They occupy vast amounts of land and ocean.D．They can sustain operation for long periods.14．What is one impact of using an underwater data center?A．Preventing ocean pollution.B．Worsening the environment.C．Conserving land for other uses.D．Increasing energy consumption. 15．Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A．National Seawater Cooling SystemB．China’s Initiative to Conserve LandC．Land-Based Energy-Efficient Data CentersD．China’s Commercial Underwater Data CenterThe power of positive thinkingIs your glass of milk half-full or half-empty? 16 Do they focus on the positives (a half-full glass) or the negatives (a half-empty one)? Thinking positively, with a belief that most things will turn out well, is called optimism — and it’s known to boost your well-being. The good news is that everybody can learn to think more positively.17Research shows that people who are optimistic and think positively tend to experience less stress and cope well when faced with life’s challenges. People who are more pessimistic (expect that the worst will happen) may find it hard to believe that these challenges will pass.Worrying is like a fire alarm.Everybody can worry from time to time. Worrying can help to keep you safe — if you were never worried and were overly positive about how things would turn out, you wouldn’t recognize risks. “ 18 It’s like a fire alarm,” says child psychotherapist Rachel Melville-Thomas. “The trouble is that sometimes it goes off when there isn’t a huge danger to face.” When this happens, you can feel anxious and hopeless about what lies ahead.Learn to think positively.Optimism is shaped by your genes which carry characteristics inherited from your parents and by what happens to you. 19 Research has shown that it can help to draw or write an outcome that’s positive-for example, an image of you playing guitar, having passed your next grade. 20A．Your genes will in turn help obtain it.B．This question makes you lost in thought.C．Why is thinking positively good for you?D．Imagining this can motivate you to work to achieve it.E．Worrying is our brain warning us of something threatening.F．However, whatever your starting point is, everyone can learn it.G．This saying is often used to test people’s outlook in a situation.二、完形填空I’m pretty good at sticking with things even when they get hard.
