I didn’t even like to answer the telephone for fear that I had to talk to somebody I didn’t know. I enjoyed the world of shyness. However, at school I had to spend all day in the company of others. My escape was reading. I spent a lot of time studying and was rewarding with good grades. My only failure was Spanish-I’d get all As on my written work and tests, but Ds and Fs on the spoken part.Eventually I went to college. During my third year of college, I had enough of being shy and decided to change my outlook and behaviour. One day while at school, I noticed an advertisement for positions on the local classical music radio station. I had grown up listening to classical music, and I could easily pronounce names such as Tchaikovsk and Chopin.I had absolutely no background in radio, and absolutely no hope of getting the job. The idea of talking to thousands of listeners in “radio land” frightened me. However, I luckily survived the interview. I was given brief descriptions of symphonic(交响乐)and a public service announcement to read, and a list of composers’ names to pronounce. It wasn’t hard for me. I left the recording sessions(录音片段)with a sense of relief and a sense of accomplishment. About two weeks later I actually landed the job. It was a challenging job, but I grew to enjoy it greatly. I began to feel comfortable talking to people.Although I now spend many hours each week talking with people, I’m still basically a quiet person. Perhaps it is my soft voice and my quiet nature that helps draw people out as they respond to my questions as I interviewed them. My former shyness is a fortune, as I can relate to people who feel uncomfortable when they talk to newspaper reporters. I still enjoy moments of lonelinessand the peace found in nature. But I’m also glad I decided to make a change in my life that has opened many door and opportunities that I never dreamt of.4．What do we learn about the author?A．She liked reading B．She was good at Spanish.C．She wasn’t interested in music.D．She didn’t work hard enough5．How did the author feel before the interview?A．Very excited.B．Pretty confident.C．Highly confused.D．Extremely anxious.6．What does the author later think of her quiet personality?A．It makes others feel less comfortable.B．It is helpful for her challenging job.C．It prevents her being a newspaper reporter.D．It draws a negative response from audiences.7．The text mainly focuses on the author’s______.A．desire to find her true selfB．feeling about being a radio hostessC．story of exploring the meaning of lifeD．expericnce and feeling of overcoming shynessForget about “military-style travel” during which people tend to visit as many places as possible in the least amount of time. A more relaxed and leisurely alternative, such as “Citywalk”, is becoming the norm among urban youngsters.Unlike military-style travel, Citywalk is about wandering around a city on foot, feeling the atmosphere and finding unusual things that even a resident of the city might not have noticed before. It can be a special event where people start a journey led by tour guides or simply explore the streets.Such walks generally avoid famous scenic spots and shopping centers, and take you to places where you can have real interactions with the local people, eat at small but authentic restaurants, and gain a deeper understanding of the history and culture of the city.Citywalkers have shared their carefully planned routes on social media platforms. Theirposts usually include how long the walk is going to take, and interesting places and restaurants along the way. Some posts are more like a food tour.Nan Xi, who recently moved from Beijing to Shanghai, said “I think Shanghai is a city perfect for Citywalk. There are big trees along the streets and shops selling different products, which is ideal for couples and friends to walk together and take photos.” After several Citywalk experiences, she signed up for a two-and-a-half-hour Citywalk priced at 88 yuan per person. A tour guide narrated the history of the buildings and streets along the way. “If it were me walking alone, I would simply find the streets artistic, but the tour that day helped me gain a better understanding of how Western culture blends in with the local culture in Shanghai,” she said. Another surprising benefit of the walk was that she has made friends with two of her fellow walkers.Lin Yi, a manager for an online platform for self-guided tours, said Citywalk can help travelers learn about local culture and live as local people do, feeling the vibes of a city. People who participate in Citywalks usually have similar tastes, and can have in-depth discussions with each other, he said.8．What is the main difference between military-style travel and Citywalk?A．The transport.B．The cost.C．The purpose.D．The destination.9．What can we conclude about Citywalk in Shanghai according to Nan Xi?A．It is a perfect place to run shops.B．There are great things to do at weekends.C．Ideal couples and friends often gather there.D．It provides great experiences in many ways.10．What can be inferred from Nan Xi’s two-and-a-half-hour Citywalk?A．She thought it well worth a try.B．She went on the tour without company.C．She wouldn’t have found the artistic streets by herself.D．She knew how Western culture differed from the local culture in Shanghai.11．What is the main idea of the article?A．Citywalk is a new trend in urban tourism.B．Citywalk can help travelers make new friends.C．Military-style travel is becoming more popular.D．Travelers choose Citywalk over military style to follow suit.Exercise lowers the risk of many diseases, but scientists still don’t fully understand how exercise changes the body on a molecular (分子的) level. Most studies have focused on a single organ, sex, or time point, and only include one or two data types.To take a more comprehensive look at the biology of exercise, scientists with the Molecular Transducers of Physical Activity Consortium (MoTrPAC) used a range of techniques in the lab to analyze molecular changes in rats as they were put through the paces of weeks of intense exercise.The team studied a range of tissues from the animals, such as the heart, brain, and lungs. They found that each of the organs they looked at changed with exercise, helping the body to regulate the immune system (免疫系统), respond to stress, and control pathways connected to inflammatory (发炎的) liver disease, heart disease, and tissue injury.The data provide potential clues into many different human health conditions; for example, the researchers found a possible explanation for why the liver becomes less fatty during exercise, which could help in the development of new treatments for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.The team hopes that their findings could one day be used to tailor exercise to an individual’s health status or to develop treatments that mimic the effects of physical activity for people who are unable to exercise. They have already started studies on people to track the molecular effects of exercise.“It took a village of scientists with distinct scientific backgrounds to generate and integrate the massive amount of high-quality data,” said a co-senior author of the study. “This is the first whole-organism map looking at the effects of training in multiple different organs. The resource produced will be enormously valuable, and has already produced many potentially novel biological insights for further exploration.”12．What is the primary focus of the studies conducted by MoTrPAC?A．The overall molecular changes due to exercise.B．The impact of exercise on immune system only.C．The effects of exercise limited to heart and lungs.D．The molecular effects of exercise on a single organ.13．What potential application does the research have?A．It makes for developing new sports equipment.B．It can be used to predict the effects of exercise.C．It explains how exercise increases stress levels.D．It can help understand various health conditions.14．What is the researchers’ current work?A．Tailoring exercise programs based on the molecular data.B．Developing treatment s that mimic the effects of exercise.C．Studying the molecular effects of exercise in human subjects.D．Expanding the study to a broader range of health conditions.15．What can we infer about the research from the last paragraph?A．It’s commercial.B．It’s a team’s effort.C．It’s insignificant.D．It’s an interesting debate.There are lots of good points of speaking more than one language. To start with, you need to set some common misunderstandings aside about language learning. 16 .·Language learning is difficult.Learning a language takes time, but is not difficult. You mostly need to listen and read. Believe me; it is very simple. 17 . Soon you will feel the happiness of understanding another language just like me.·You have to have a gift for learning languages.18 Anyone who wants to, can learn. In Sweden and Holland most people know more than one language. Foreign athletes who go around the world usually learn new languages faster than learners in the classroom.. 19 .When you are learning the language, it is more important to listen. If you meet a native speaker, you will naturally spend most of your time listening before you already know the language.·You would love to learn but you don't have the time.How about the time you spend waiting in line, doing things around the house, or going for a walk? 20 ? Once you get started, even 10 or 15 minutes a day will soon grow to 30 minutes a day, or one hour. If you enjoy doing it, you will find the time.A．No, you don't have toB．I have done it many timesC．You need to speak in order to learnD．Do you have to live where the language is spokenE．Why not listen to a language on your mobile phoneF．Only children can learn to speak another language wellG．Avoiding these wrong opinions below can bring success二、完形填空This past summer was really special for Jaequan Faulkner, a 13-year-old boy living in Minneapolis, Minnesota. He set up a hot dog 21 outside his home to make some extra money. The boy took care to make sure that all food was fresh and clean. People in the neighborhood 22 the boy’s spirit, but there was only one 23 : he didn’t have a permit.When the Department of Health received a complaint, instead of shutting down Jaequan’s stand, they did something 24 .

上海市进才中学2023-2024学年高二下学期3月月考英语试题
上海市进才中学2023-2024学年高二下学期3月月考英语试题一、语法填空Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.Over the past decade or so, biologists have shown that we are filled with microbiomes (微生物组), inside and out. This microbiome, 1 (compose) of bacteria, fungi and viruses, profoundly influences our health and fitness and sometimes is even linked to our emotional state.The oral microbiome gets far less attention, but we 2 (know) of it for a long time. In 1891, US dentist Willoughby D．Miller first proposed that bacteria could leave the mouth, travel to other parts of the body and cause disease. We only began to get supporting evidence in 1989, when researchers noticed that people who had experienced a heart attack were rated as having oral health that was about twice as poor as 3 of a control group. Even when age, social class and smoking habits 4 (account) possible factors, the results remained almost the same. A solid link seemed to be there.More recently, thanks to DNA sequencing technology, by cataloguing the microbes in our mouths, we are now finding that the types of bacteria people have 5 (live) there seem to be associated with a growing number of conditions like cancer. Perhaps the most striking example is Alzheimer’s disease. It can be found that people with gum (牙龈) disease are 6 increased risk of developing this condition, which slowly robs people of their memories, personalities and cognitive function. However, until recently, it was unclear 7 poor oral health was a contributing cause of Alzheimer’s or a consequence of it.Then, in 2019, scientists discovered some species of bacteria known 8 (cause) gum disease — including one called Porphyromonas gingivalis — which are inside the brains of people who died of Alzheimer’s disease. If the mouth bacteria were getting into the brain, that lent weight to the idea that they could be a cause of Alzheimer’s.Researchers are still trying to grasp how this could happen. 9 the mechanism is, they note that there may be a way you can protect yourself in advance. Dental scientists at theUniversity of Melbourne, Australia, is developing a vaccine against gum disease 10 you can reduce the risks of gum diseases significantly.二、选词填空Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.Luxury brands used to speak in monologues. However, nowadays, influencers are becoming the ambassadors of those luxurious brands.In the age of social media, the buyers are having a voice in products, in particular, the influencers. These individuals have won large followings by 11 and attacking occasionally a variety of products. Their fame stems from the clever use of Instagram, Snapchat or TikTok. Their posts seem trivial. Their business isn’t.For consumers, influencers are at once a walking advert and a trusted friend. For the brands, they are a(n) 12 . And for regulators, they are the subject of ever closer review. On March 29th, news reports 13 that China’s authorities were planning new restrictions concerning livestreaming platforms. The limitations 14 how much money internet users can spend tipping their favorite influencers, how much those influencers can earn from fans and what they are allowed to post.There hardly exists any 15 of the size of the influencer industry. One in 2020 from the National Bureau of Statistics in China, where influencers gained prominence earlier than in the West, assessed its contribution to the economy at $210bn, equivalent to 1.4% of GDP. As with many things digital, the pandemic seems to have given it a(n) 16 as more people were glued to their smartphones more of the time. The influencer ecosystem is challenging the 17 principle of luxury-brand management. Apart from being one-directional, campaigns have tendedto be 18 , unchanging and expensive. The same smile from the same photograph of the same Hollywood star would induce passers-by to purchase an item for many years. Such star-led campaigns can be unappealing to teenagers and 20-somethings 19 authenticity over timeless glamour. And influencers, with their girl-or boy-next-door charm, offer this for a small portion of the fee of a big-name star. The best ones are able to repackage a brand’s message in a way that is 20 with their voice, their followers’ tastes and their platform of choice. So to be a top-ten brand, you have to know how to play the digital game. If you don’t, you are not going to be top ten for very long.三、完形填空A cancer diagnosis will force King Charles III out of the public eye for the foreseeable future. For a highly 21 royal family that has cultivated its public image through countless appearances a year — ribbon-cuttings, ship launchings, gala benefits and so on — the marginalization of Charles may finally force the royals to rethink how they 22 themselves in a social-media age.The king’s illness is the latest 23 to the British royal family, which has seen its ranks thinning by death, scandal (Prince Andrew) and self-exile (流放) (Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan). Regardless of what is predicted, it appears that the king’s cancer presses the royal family into 24 territory.The answer to it, royal watchers argue, may be 25 . During the coronavirus pandemic, Elizabeth conducted meeting s via Zoo m calls,becoming 26 enough with it that she made jokes with the digitally distorted faces on her computer screen.Social media can also be employed to enhance the 27 exposure of family members. The royal family’s Instagram account 28 more than 13 million followers. But for young people, who spend whole day following their favorite celebrities online, a royal turning up to dedicate a new primary school may not 29 as much as it did to their previous generations.Prince Harry, the king’s younger son, fell out bitterly with his family after his 30 from royal duties and relocation to California in 2020. Undoubtedly, the greatest burden falls onthe mere remaining 41-year-old heir (继承人), William, who has been recognized as a qualified successor for 31 a role on issues from climate change to homelessness. Meanwhile, he has jealously guarded his family’s 32 , demanding his office release no photographs of three young children visiting their mother in the hospital. That approach stood 33 his father, who approve the disclosure of an unusual amount of detail about his recent cancer diagnosis. The scrutiny (审查) of William will 34 increase, experts said, as he occupies a more central place in the Windsor family hierarchy.Queen Elizabeth viewed assuming kingly duties as so 35 that she steeled herself, two days before her death at 96, to meet with the outgoing prime minister in Scotland, masking her own condition. Charles, though, has departed from long family practice “in the hope it may assist public understanding for all those around the world who are affected by cancer.”21．A．apparent B．controversial C．visible D．generous 22．A．project B．market C．illustrate D．propose 23．A．witness B．blow C．solution D．disloyalty 24．A．uncharted B．unnoticed C．indefensible D．inexcusable 25．A．human-initiated B．strategy-focused C．technology-drivenD．goal-oriented26．A．frustrated B．preoccupied C．content D．comfortable 27．A．in-depth B．in-person C．in-between D．in-built 28．A．claims B．calculates C．confirms D．clarifies 29．A．matter B．contribute C．relate D．bring 30．A．dismissal B．survival C．withdrawal D．renewal 31．A．carving out B．applying for C．identifying with D．reflecting on 32．A．connection B．priority C．presence D．privacy 33．A．in parallel to B．as opposed to C．on behalf of D．in honor of 34．A．scarcely B．effortlessly C．approximately D．inevitably 35．A．grave B．distinct C．exceptional D．progressive四、阅读理解First, I must get settled into school. My classes begin today at the PRIVET! Russian Academy of Language Studies, where I will be attending class five days a week, four hours a day.I know I am such a shameless student. I laid my clothes out last night, just like I did before my first day of first grade, with my patent leather shoes and my new lunch box.The last thing I want is to end up in a Level One class, which would be so humiliating for me. Given that I already took a whole entire semester of Russian at my Night School for Divorced Ladies in New York, and that I spent the summer memorizing flash cards. The thing is, I don’t even know how many levels this school has, but the me re mention of “level” sparks a resolve within me to aim for Level Two—at least.It’s such a hard test! I can’t get through even a tenth of it!In the end, it’s OK, though.So it’s hammering down rain today, but I show up early, wander about the school and smugly walk past all those Level One students (who must be cookies, really) and enter my first class. Here I am with my peers. But it becomes swiftly evident that these are not my peers and that I have no business being here. I feel like I’m swimming, but barely. Like I’m taking in water with every breath. The teacher, a skinny guy (Why are the teachers so skinny here? I don’t trust skinny Russians.), is going way too fast, is skipping over whole chapters of the textbook, saying, “You already know this, you already know that…” and keeping up a rapid-fire conversation with my apparently fluent classmates. My stomach is gripped in horror and I’m gasping for air and praying he won’t call on me. Just as soon as the break comes, I run out of that classroom on wobbling legs and I scurry all the way over to the administrative office almost in tears, where I beg in very clear English if they could please move me down to a Level One class. And so they do. And now I am here.36．What do we know about the writer from the first two paragraphs?A．She is a newly-admitted student majoring in language teaching.B．She has no knowledge of this foreign language and is put to shame.C．She is full of anticipation and readiness for new educational pursuit.D．She attends the same school to build upon prior academic achievements.37．What does the underlined word smugly in paragraph 5 mean?A．arrogantly B．furiously C．secretly D．nobly38．Why does the writer withdraw from Level Two class in the end?A．The teacher singles her out for her inability to converse smoothly in foreign language.B．The age and culture divide leads to an overwhelming sense of alienation with classmates.C．The unexpected discomfort in her stomach prompts a pause in regular learning activities.D．The unthinkable difficulty in catching up with the teaching rhythm destroys confidence. 39．What might be the best title of the passage?A．Well Begun, Half Done.B．An Idle Youth, A Needy Age.C．More Haste, Less Speed.D．No Pain, No Gain.I guess I was a little bored. For the past hour, I’d been on the phone with Daniele, the head of my office in Italy, reviewing our latest purchases of Italian gold, Murano glass and Italian-made shoes and handbags.“Daniele,” I said, “What is the hottest jewelry in Italy right now?” His reply? Woven gold bracelets studded with gems. He texted me some photos and I knew immediately that this was jewelry that Raffinato just had to have.RAFFINATO IS ONE OF AMERICA’S LARGEST RETAILERS OF ITALIAN-MADEJEWELRYPresenting the Italiano Fantasia Bracelets, two designs that are prime examples of Italy’sfinest artisanship.

The book “Jewelry and Gems: The Buying Guide,” praised the technique used in our diamond alternative :“The best diamond simulation to date, and even some jewelers have mistaken these stones for mined diamonds,” it raved.The best part about these bracelets?

Although the Georgian structure was praised for its handsome Greek Revival style by Nikolaus Pevsner, an architectural master, it was built for horses, not cars. Repairs will close the bridge for several months, causing bigger jams and more pollution in a city where air quality is already a cause of concern.Bath is an extreme example of a tradeoff faced by much of the country. Britain has the oldest housing stock in Europe, with one in five homes more than 100 years old. Period features are valued and often protected by law. Yet as efforts to cut carbon emissions intensify, they are contradicting attempts to preserve heritage. It is a “delicate balance” says Wera Hobhouse, Bath’s Member of Parliament (议员) “What is the public benefit of dealing with the climate emergency, versus protecting a heritage asset?”Two years ago, Bath was among the first British cities to declare a “climate emergency” when it also promised to go carbon-neutral by 2030. Yet Bath also wants—and is legally required to preserve its heritage. With Roman remains and Georgian streets that spread across the Avon Valley in shades of honey and butter, the city is designated a world heritage site by UNESCO. About 60% of it is further protected by the government as a conservation area, more than 5,000 of Bath’s buildings—nearly 10% of the total—are listed as being of special architectural or historical interest, making it a criminal offence to alter them without permission.Many of the features that make Bath’s Georgian buildings so delicate also make them leaky. Buildings of traditional construction make up 30% of Bath’s housing stock but take up 40% of domestic carbon emissions, according to the Centre for Sustainable Energy, a charity. British homes are rated for energy efficiency on a scale from A to G; most traditional buildings in the city are an F or G.Transport is another area where climate and heritage clash. Bath’s 17th-century streets lack room for bike lanes. Joanna Wright was recently relieved of her role as Bath’s climate chief after proposing that North Road, which leads to the university, should be closed to traffic. In two years she was unable to install any on-street electric-vehicle charging points, partly because of the “nightmare” of getting permission to dig up old pavements.All this means going carbon neutral by 2030 looks hard, but the city is at least beginning to make compromises. In March it launched the first “clean-air zone” outside London, charging drivers to enter central Bath. A trial has made 160 electric motoreycles available to hire. And local opinion seems to be shifting in favour of sustainability. “The discussion has moved dramatically towards considering the climate emergency,” says Ms. Hobhouse.43．What problem does Bath face?A．It is getting more and more crowded due to the maintenance work underway.B．Its housing stock with a long history are being altered without authorization.C．Its historical significance makes it hard to be reformed into an eco-friendly city.D．Its promise to go carbon-neutral by 2030 is greeted with doubt from its citizens. 44．The percentage mentioned in the underlined sentence (Paragraph 4) is intended to _________.A．highlight the long history of Bath’s building complexB．show the low energy efficiency of the historic buildingsC．illustrate the delicate features that Bath’s buildings shareD．challenge the validity and credibility of the A-G scale45．Why was Joanna Wright removed from her position?A．She proposed the North Road not be accessible to the public.B．She failed to solve the conflict between transport and heritage.C．She stood right in the way of the heritage preservation efforts.D．She struggled to get authorized to dig up those old pavements.46．What can be inferred from the passage?A．Wera Hobhouse keeps a balance between public benefit and heritage protection.B．Traditional buildings in Bath are not available to visitors not having permits.C．Bath has been setting the pace for the construction of a carbon-neutral city.D．Local people in Bath used to favor heritage conservation over sustainability.Immersive Art Draws People InWith bold, swirling brushstrokes (绘画技巧) and vivid colors, Vincent van Gogh’s stirring Starry Night brings to life a turbulent (汹涌的) sky. It’s one of the most recognizable paintings in the world. And gazing at the scenic canvas can make museum visitors feel starstruck.But seeing this masterpiece on a gallery wall isn’t the only way art fans can experience its impact 47 . They find themselves surrounded by shimmering colors that dance before their eyes and ripple (涟漪) at their feet. These exhibitions digitally project moving images onto walls, floors, and sometimes onto viewers themselves. They are examples of immersive art.48 . While it can be hard to characterize, it’s generally a multisensory, an interactive event that engages viewers and lets them feel like part of the artwork. One thing is certain — these exhibitions have been wildly popular — selling out tickets in cities worldwide.Van Gogh gained fame only after his death. In fact, the 19th-century painter sold just one painting during his lifetime. But now he is immersive art’s biggest superstar. His work has been showcased in various exhibitions featuring immense images. 49 . One show, Van Gogh Alive, has appeared in 65 countries since 2011. It even features a signature scent for visitors to sniff. Shows of other artists — including Monet, Renoir, and Chagall — have lit up venues, too.The popularity of immersive art has been powered party by social media. As visitors post selfies featuring van Gogh’s art or videos of friends stepping into a fantastical fridge, these experiences draw bigger and bigger crowds. 50 . That’s because many curators and creators share a common goal — to help more people get into art!A．Immersive art doesn’t simply mean sitting in a glass case or fitting in a frame.B．The art work is animated and accompanied by music, voices, and background sound.C．In fact, some exhibits give people a chance to be enveloped by van Gogh’s celebrated painting. D．Meanwhile, traditional museums are following the trend and applying immersive technologies E．Critics once described his work as a multidimensional mystery house leading to secret passages.F．More important is the ability to bridge the gap between traditional art spaces and modern audiences.五、书面表达51．Directions:Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point (s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.Preventing ResistanceThe development of drug-resistant pathogens (病原体) can be prevented in at least three ways. First, sufficiently high concentrations of the drug can be maintained in a patient’s body for a long enough time to kill all sensitive cells and hold others long enough for the body’s defenses to defeat them. Discontinuing a drug before all of the pathogens have been neutralized promotes the development of resistance. For this reason, it is important that patients finish their entire antimicrobial prescription (抗菌药物) and resist the temptation to “save some for another day.”A second way to prevent resistance is to use antimicrobial agents in combination so that pathogens resistant to one drug will be killed by the second, and vice versa. Additionally, one drug sometimes enhances the effect of a second drug in a process called synergism. Enhanced effect can also result from combining an antimicrobial drug and a chemical.A third way to reduce the development of resistance is to limit the use of antimicrobials to necessary cases. Unfortunately, many antimicrobial agents are used indiscriminately, in both developed countries and in lessdeveloped regions where many are available without a physician’s prescription. In the United States, an estimated 50 percent of prescriptions for antibacterial agents to treat sore throats and 30 percent of prescriptions for ear infections, are inappropriate because the diseases are viral in nature. Likewise, because antibacterial drugs have no effect on cold and flu viruses, 100 percent of antibacterial prescriptions for treating diseases are unnecessary. As discussed previously, the use of antimicrobial agents encourages the reproduction of resistant bacteria by limiting the growth of sensitive cells; therefore, inappropriate use of such drugs increases the likelihood that resistance of bacteria will multiply.In order to maintain the effectiveness of antimicrobial treatments, responsible practices must be implemented._______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________六、翻译52．你要认识到：如果感觉困难，放平心态，那是因为它真的很难。

江苏省南通市区2024-2025学年高二10月月考英语试卷
江苏省南通市区2024-2025学年高二10月月考英语试卷一、阅读理解Looking to inspire curious young minds? These are some of the best popular science books for children, which should keep the young minds full of ideas long into the future.Amazing JellyfishThis book includes plenty of impressive facts. The first-person style of the author helps to keep the attention of young readers, by including personal stories and avoiding all pages of words. Each part is divided into detailed drawings and valuable information. The book has fun jokes about jellyfish, a maze (迷宫) with sea trash, and more.A Brief History of StuffDK has chosen a mix of many different things for this unique book. From baby bottles to pens, there isn’t much of a logical (合乎逻辑的) path or timeline, making it a great book for kids of all ages. Seeing a list of everyday items such as a pot or a fridge, you realize how little you know about the stories behind them. This book has all the information you need about their beginnings and impact on society.A Kid’s Guide to the Night SkyThe night sky is filled with countless astronomical objects to explore and this book does its best to introduce a wide variety of them to children. The life cycle of stars and light pollution are just a few of the topics that the book introduces to its audience. It also takes a deep div e into each of the solar system’s planets and some of the amazing technology that’s working to find out more about them.Radar (雷达) and the RaftThe story of radar, along with the inventors and contributing scientists, comes together in this book about the technology’s development and lifesaving uses. By connecting the story of the Bell family’s near-death experience at sea with the story of radar’s discovery, the author has produced an interesting and informative storyline.1．What is a main feature of Amazing Jellyfish?A．Using a strictly scientific style.B．Presenting a clear timeline of events.C．Focusing on fun games about sea life.D．Matching the text and the picture well. 2．How do readers probably perceive A Brief History of Steff?A．A collection of famous speeches.B．An introduction to historical heroes.C．A guide to exploring common objects.D．A handbook on starting interest clubs. 3．Which book best suits young enthusiasts for astronomy?A．Amazing Jellyfish.B．Radar and the Raft.C．A Brief History of Stuff.D．A Kid’s Guide to the Night Sky.How would you feel if your child were being tutored by a robot? It’s believed that social robots could become as common as paper and whiteboards in schools. Those robots have been used to read stories to preschool students in Singapore, help 12-year-olds in Iran learn English and improve handwriting among young children in Switzerland.As a professor of education, I study the different ways that teachers worldwide do their jobs. To understand how social robots could affect teaching, I introduced a robot called “Pepper” into a public elementary and middle school in the U. S. and found many problems with the current generation of social robots.To get the robot to perform, our students had to master the directions that came with the robot. Some students quickly figured out that the robot could respond only to certain basic routines. They kept trying to interact with the robot as if it were a person but got very frustrated with its nonhuman responses. When a robot failed to answer a question, or responded in the wrong way, students realized the robot wasn’t really understanding them and that the robot’s dialogue was preprogrammed.Also, I have found that these are not limited to school settings. Service robots in some health care facilities have been programmed to deliver medicine, but this requires special sensors and programming. Stores and restaurants are experimenting with delivery and cleaning robots. But when a grocery store in Scotland tried to use “Pepper” for customer interactions, the robot was fired after a week.While the social robots currently used in schools are limited in functions, they can still provide useful learning experiences. Students can use them to learn more about robotics and artificial intelligence. Struggling with a robot’s limitations gives students real insights into thecomplicated nature of human social interaction. The opportunity to do hands-on work with a social robot shows students how difficult it is to program robots to copy human behavior. As AI becomes a bigger part of our work and lives, we need to teach students to think critically about what it means to live and work with social machines.4．What phenomenon is described at the beginning of the text?A．The global differences in educational approachesB．The transformative impact of robots on education.C．The adoption of social robots in classrooms worldwide.D．The innovative achievements in science and technology.5．How do students find their interaction with social robots?A．Amusing and engagıng.B．Challenging but beneficial.C．Ineffective and disappointing.D．Satisfying but time-consuming.6．What does the author want to show by mentioning the examples in paragraph 4?A．Robotics still has room for improvement.B．Technology has changed the way we workC．Many fields are open to experimenting with robots.D．Robots might pose a threat to people’s employment.7．What can students learn by interacting with limited-function social robots in schools?A．To master communication skills.B．To get some hands-on experience.C．To strengthen the sense of mission.D．To improve critical thinking ability.For many of us, online shopping has made the process of purchasing goods a far simpler and more convenient process. No longer do we have to head to shops to browse through various objects, wandering round endless shelves, before finally setting for the first thing we saw. These days, we find the item we want or need online, click on it, and check out its description and, most importantly, its user reviews. If it fits the bill, we send it to our basket and pay.There seems to be a wealth of options at our fingertips. But how do we know the options that pop up in front of us really are the best deals, and how might algorithms (算法) help or hold us back?Algorithms, simply put, are mathematical instructions which tell a computer how to solveproblems. When shopping is involved, what is the problem they solve? Well, they instruct a computer which advertisements to show and which products a user is most likely to buy. By analyzing the things we bought or looked at previously algorithms can predict what goods we’re most likely to be attracted by.For some people, the idea of something guessing your preferences could sound a bit worrying. But first, let’s look at the positives. By telling a computer to show us what we are interested in, it can not only save us a lot of time, but also help us find the best deals. However, there are some people who have concerns about the impact of algorithms on our shopping experience. It is possible that algorithms may only select options from a limited number of brands, or may favour products from certain companies. There are also concerns that we aren’t always shown the cheapest or best deal, even though that’s what we’re searching for.So, the takeaway from this is that algorithms are here to stay, and it’s wise to know they exist.

Called Verto, the device filters 600,000 cubic meters of air a day in New Delhi’s Sunder Nursery.Filtration towers were designed by architecture firm Studio Symbiosis. The firm’sco-founders, Amit Gupta and Britta Knobel Gupta, say their fan-powered devices can clean the air within a radius (半径) of 200 to 500 meters in some spaces, depending on wind speed and how open the surroundings are. “I think the towers can also be installed in public parks and squares, where people spend quality outdoor time,” Britta said, adding that installing (安装) the towers in spots where homeless people sleep might also be very beneficial.In 2019 alone, air pollution is thought to have caused nearly 1.6 million deaths in India, according to a study in medical journal The Lancet. New Delhi is regularly covered with smog, with vehicle emissions, crop-burning, and coal-fired power plants all contributing to the city’s bad air quality.In addition to the direct impact of pollution, the resulting climate change has caused heat waves that have killed more than 24,000 people in the country since 1992, according to a study published by the University of Cambridge.Amit estimated that maybe 100 of the towers would be required to filter the air across central New Delhi, though further research and a “full-scale model” would be required to calculate more figures. The devices are also designed to be easily transported, with the hope that they can be adopted on a larger scale.The filters, which need to be changed every three to nine months, are partly recyclable. Noise generated by the towers is, at a maximum of 75 decibels, similar to that of a standard kitchen exhaust fan (排风扇). To reduce Verto’s environmental impact, Studio Symbıosis installed energy-efficient smart fans that vary according to local conditions, slowing down when pollution is low, or when strong winds provide natural air flow.12．Which factor can improve the work efficiency of filtration tower?A．The height of tower.B．The surrounding people.C．The design of fans.D．The strength of wind.13．What is mainly discussed in Paragraphs 3 and 4?A．The death number in India since 1992.B．The consequence of climate change.C．The cause and effect of air pollution.D．The process of heat wave generation. 14．What is the striking feature of Verto?A．Cost-effective.B．Uniquely-designed.C．Eco-friendly.D．Completely-recycled15．What is the best title for the text?A．The air cleaning tower in India B．The bad air quality in New DelhiC．The filtration tower’s global trend D．Smart fans’ environmental purposeAppreciating art can be a rewarding experience. But it can also be confusing if you’re not sure where to start. Here are a few tips to help you get the most out of your art appreciation journey.One of the most important things to remember when looking at art is to approach it with an open mind. 16 Instead, allow yourself to experience the art work on its own terms and see what emotions or thoughts it awakens in you.When you first encounter a piece of art, take a few moments to look at it. Notice the colors, lines, shapes, and materials. 17 If you’re looking at a painting, try to identify the brushwork and how it contributes to the artistic effect of the piece.18 Thinking about the situation in which a piece was created can help you better understand and appreciate the work. For example, if you’re looking at a piece of art from the 19th century, it can be helpful to learn about the artistic movements and social issues that were common at the time.The medium in which a piece of art is created can have a significant impact on the final product. 19 Understanding the properties and limitations of different mediums can help you appreciate the technical skills and choices of the artist.If you’re looking at art in a museum or gallery, there may be a staff member available to answer your questions. Don’t be afraid to ask for more information. If you’re looking at art online or in a book, try to find out more about the work through research. 20A．Many works of art convey a deeper meaning.B．You can also turn to a professional about the subject.C．Try not to assume what the artist was trying to express.D．The key to appreciating art is to approach it with curiosity.E．Observe how the various elements of the artwork are arranged.F．Art is often created within a specific historical, or cultural context.G．A sculpture made of metal has a different feel from an oil painting.二、完形填空The town of North Rustico is a homey sort of place. Neighbors there are always sure to 21 one another as they go about their day. And that 22 of friendliness is apparently infectious.One day, local resident Lisa Sandoval was walking near the waterfront when she realized somebody was 23 to her. “I heard ‘Hello! Hello!’” Sandoval said. “I turned around and there wasn’t even a 24 . Then I heard the 25 again. I got a little 26 , and thought I must be hearing things.”It was then that Sandoval noticed only a crow (乌鸦) nearby. “I stopped and said, ‘Hello?’”27 , he answered me back, “Hello!”Sandoval later came to learn that she wasn’t the only one in town to have 28 the talking crow. The story goes that years earlier the bird had been found injured as a baby and 29 by an elderly man living nearby, who often spoke to him during his 30 . “That bird had learned to say hello and had been let go free after regaining his health,” Sandoval said. A few months after their 31 meeting, Sandoval ran into the talking crow again.Crows, much like parrots, are indeed 32 of learning to mimic human language. So, if the story of his 33 is true, his vocalizations (说出的话) may very well 34 the voice of the elderly man who’d saved him. “He passed away years ago,” Sandoval said, but his legacy (遗产) 35 in the friendly, feathered bird. 21．A．understand B．greet C．attract D．remember 22．A．chance B．principle C．sense D．demand 23．A．pointing B．speaking C．responding D．appealing 24．A．soul B．signal C．choice D．change 25．A．answer B．rhythm C．warning D．voice 26．A．confused B．bored C．messy D．guilty 27．A．Gradually B．Carelessly C．Incredibly D．Accidentally 28．A．attended B．adopted C．encountered D．expected 29．A．introduced B．nursed C．grabbed D．accepted30．A．residence B．flight C．absence D．recovery 31．A．initial B．regular C．casual D．private 32．A．aware B．proud C．capable D．ignorant 33．A．origin B．talent C．injury D．departure 34．A．raise B．reflect C．protect D．replace 35．A．sets off B．gives up C．backs down D．lives on三、语法填空阅读下面短文，在空白处填入一个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

河南省商丘市部分学校2024-2025学年高二上学期11月月考英语试题一、阅读理解As a language learning enthusiast, I’ve come up with the best apps for learning English from the thousands of mobile apps out there.Best for Pronunciation: ELSA SpeakELSA Speak is probably the best mobile app around for helping you improve your English pronunciation.

Lingodeer takes a gamified approach to language learning with a goal-oriented curriculum consisting of structured lessons and regular reviews. Lingodeer’s lessons are arranged according to themes, such as sports, weather, parts of the body and shopping.1．What is the feature of ELSA Speak?A．It analyzes learners’ recordings.B．It provides guidance for learners.C．It gives learners helpful feedback.D．It improves learners’ communication skill. 2．Which app provides videos as learning resources?A．FluentU.B．ELSA Speak.C．Babbel.D．Lingodeer. 3．What can learners do with the app Lingodeer?A．Design games.B．Study around a theme.C．Structure lessons.D．Take advanced courses.I work with V olunteers for Wildlife, a rescue and education organization at Bailey Arboretum in Locust Valley. Trying to help injured, displaced or sick creatures can be heartbreaking; survival is never certain. However, when it works, it is simply beautiful.I got a rescue call from a woman in Muttontown. She had found a young owl(猫头鹰) on the ground. When I arrived, I saw a 2-to 3-week-old owl. It had already been placed in a carrier for safety.I examined the chick(雏鸟) and it seemed fine. If I could locate the nest, I might have been able to put it back, but no luck. My next work was to construct a nest and anchor it in a tree.The homeowner was very helpful. A wire basket was found. I put some pine branches into the basket to make this nest safe and comfortable. I placed the chick in the nest, and it quickly calmed down.Now all that was needed were the parents, but they were absent. I gave the homeowner a recording of the hunger screams of owl chicks. These advertise the presence of chicks to adults; they might also encourage our chick to start calling as well. I gave the owner as much information as possible and headed home to see what news the night might bring.A nervous night to be sure, but sometimes the spirits of nature smile on us all! The homeowner called to say that the parents had responded to the recordings. I drove over and saw the chick in the nest looking healthy and active. And it was accompanied in the nest by the greatest sight of all — LUNCH! The parents had done their duty and would probably continue to do so.4．What is unavoidable in the author’s rescue work according to paragraph 1?A．Efforts made in vain.B．Getting injured in his work.C．Feeling uncertain about his future.D．Creatures forced out of their homes.5．Why was the author called to Muttontown?A．To rescue a woman.B．To take care of a woman.C．To look at a baby owl.D．To cure a young owl.6．What made the chick calm down?A．A new nest.B．Some food.C．A recording.D．Its parents.7．How would the author feel about the outcome of the event?A．It’s unexpected.B．It’s beautiful.C．It’s humorous.D．It’s discouraging.Teenagers around the world are familiar with the great pain of boredom. And every parent is familiar with the sounds of groaning (咕哝的) kids, sulking (生闷气) in their room or pacing aimlessly around the house. But sometimes, it’s this very sense of boredom that can inspire creativity and create fast-growing trends.This is true for pickleball (匹克球), now a popular sport in the West. According to the Mental Floss website, the sport was invented in the summer of 1965. At that time, Frank Pritchard, 13, had nothing to do in his family’s summer home in Washington, US. After complaining loudly, his father, Joel, suggested he make up a game. When Frank replied “Why don’t you?” his father gladly took up the challenge. Thus, pickleball was born.Certain parts of tennis, badminton and ping-pong can be seen from pickleball. It’s a bat game played on a badminton-sized court with what looks like a wiffle ball (威浮球) over a low net. Only the serving team can score points, and all serves must be made with an underhand stroke (击球).The popularity of pickleball has grown steadily over the last decade. According to Mental Floss, the number of pickleball courts has grown by an estimated 385 percent worldwide since 2010. One reason for its popularity is that it’s “a sport for everyone”. Anyone can play pickleball because it’s relatively easy to pick up. There are simple rules, and all people need is a couple of bats and a ball, which is affordable and accessible to all. Plus, pickleball is a sport centered around fun and friendship. The game lasts as short as 15 minutes, which means less running and stress for players.Pritchard said that the game’s rapid rise in popularity was amazing, especially considering that a bad-tempered kid “inspired a sports craze by making a stink (吵闹) about being bored one afternoon 56 years ago”.8．What do we know about pickleball, according to the passage?A．It was invented accidentally by a young boy.B．It is a game suitable for family gatherings.C．It combines elements from several ball games.D．The game’s judges come from a serving team.9．What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about?A．Why pickleball has become so well received.B．What equipment pickleball players need.C．How significant pickleball is to the world.D．What rules must be obeyed in pickleball.10．What did Pritchard think of the popularity of pickleball?A．Unexpected.B．Reasonable.C．Natural.D．Awkward. 11．Why does the author write the passage?A．To advise us to join in sports games.B．To teach us how to play pickleball.C．To tell us the birth of a sports game.D．To motivate us to follow new trends.Humans spend about one third of their lives sleeping. But some mammals (哺乳动物), likethe northern elephant seal, survive with much less sleep.Researchers in a new study described the unusual sleep pattern of these ocean animals. They found that when these mammals go to feed on trips that can last seven months, they sleep just two hours each day. Those two hours of sleep are made up of short moments of rest lasting only 10 minutes each as they dive deep to avoid predators (捕食者). The only other mammals known to get so little sleep are African elephants.The researchers placed a head covering with sensors (传感器) on the heads of the seals that they studied. The sensors recorded sleep signals created by the seals’ brains and heart rate. The sensors also recorded the animals’ location and depth beneath the sea. Female seals go out on longer open-ocean trips while males only feed in coastal waters. Because of this, the researchers only studied female seals.During dives lasting about 30 minutes, the seals went into a deep sleep called slow-wave sleep while keeping a controlled downward movement. When they then experienced rapid-eye-movement (REM) sleep, the seals fell into a turning pattern. Then, at the deepest point of their sleeping dive—up to 377 meters deep—they wake up and swim back to the surface.Terrie Williams is a scientist at the University of California at Santa Cruz who helped write the study. She said, “It is remarkable that a wild animal will fall into deep, paralytic REM sleep when there are predators on the hunt.” She added that the seals solve this problem by going into deep sleep in the deep parts of the oceans where predators usually do not hunt them.Williams said the brain’s ability to control awakening the sleeping seals at a depth before they drown is also a discovery about how mammalian brains work. She commented on this, saying that it shows the survival control of the seals’ brains.12．Why did researchers only study female elephant seals?A．They like living in groups more than males.B．They are more friendly to humans.C．They are more convenient to follow.D．They go to feed on longer trips.13．What were the elephant seals doing when they were in deep sleep?A．Falling into deeper sea.B．Swimming fast in the sea.C．Moving back to the surface.D．Breathing deeply and slowly.14．What’s the advantage of elephant seals’ sleep in the deep parts of the oceans?A．They hunt for more food.B．They avoid being hunted.C．They get completely relaxed.D．They control their sleep pattern. 15．Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A．Different Animals Need Different SleepB．Short Sleep Helps Elephant Seals Move Deeper into SeaC．Female Elephant Seals Sleep Only Two Hours a DayD．Male and Female Elephant Seals Feed in Different AreasWith New Year approaching, year-end reviews dominate the airwaves. 16 . Lose ten pounds? Read a book a month? However, I’ve never given much thought to New Year’s resolutions. I make intentions instead. It means setting one’s purpose toward a path instead of action toward specific behaviors. And more than that, I’m setting them in a framework (框架) that will give them wings.Set time, not goalsA wise friend once told me “Do not set a result as the goal. Set the time in which you do the things you want to do.” For example, I usually tell myself I should write more. 17 . Then, I realize it would be better to set my intention to write and the time to write, say, from 8:30 a.m. to 11 :30 a. m.Take advantage of the Premack PrincipleThe Premack principle is a behavioral strategy that states that the presence of a high-probability behavior can make a low-probability behavior more likely. 18 . So, now that I’ve set my intention to write and the time to write, I can link it to a high-probability behavior, such as dropping my kids off at school in the morning. The point is that it gets the action rolling without much thought or self-motivating talk. 19 .20Let’s face it, no matter how much you set an intention, if there’s no enjoyment once you start, it will likely fall by the wayside. So, find a path you enjoy that will bring the same results. In truth, I hate exercising, but, luckily, I walk my dog. A lovely way to exercise, go out in nature, enjoy companionship, and meet people !A．Face your intention directlyB．One intention, multiple pathsC．Over time, it becomes routine as wellD．But the result proves far from satisfactoryE．Perhaps most are also making new year resolutionsF．Resolutions seem to hold people prisoners rather than free themG．In other words, to enact a new behavior, attach it to a well-established behavior二、完形填空I grew up on a university campus in eastern Nigeria.I was a(n) 21 reader, and what I read were British and American children’s books.I began to write when I was seven.I wrote exactly the kinds of stories I was reading: All my 22 were white and blue-eyed.

You've located the country's capital and one of Europe's most beautiful cities: Madrid. This popular destination is considered a city of contrasts with its abundant historic sites, resting in the shadows of modern skyscrapers.HistoryThis city of over 3 million people is proud of Western Europe's largest royal palace, and some consider it to be Madrid's most beautiful building. Inside the Royal Palace 2,800 rooms are decorated in glory with museum-quality furniture and artworks. Tourists can tour 50 of these large and splendid rooms.ArtThe internationally respected Prado Museum is the largest and most impressive art gallery in Spain. Opened in 1819, it is filled with works of art that feature the world's most comprehensive collection ofSpanish paintings.ShoppingMadrid has some of Europe's best shopping, and potential buyers love to look through the stores looking for bargains. But for 500 years, shoppers have gathered to an extremely large outdoor flea market known as the Rastro where they find everything from antiques to CDs.EntertainmentNo trip to Madrid is complete without seeing a performance of Spain's famous art form, flamenco. Every day, flamenco performers sing, dance or play the guitar in small cafes and grand theaters alike.FoodMadrid has a wide variety of restaurants, but because the Spanish typically eat late at about 9 or 10 p.m., it's difficult to find good dinner food earlier. If you get hungry before then, the best solution is to try a tapas bar where light snacks are served. Be sure to try the jamon, a kind of dry-cured ham: Spain is famous for it.（1）What do we know about the Royal Palace in Madrid?A.It has 50 rooms for visit.B.It can hold 2,800 people.C.It's been visited by 3 million people.D.It is thought to be the largest in Europe.（2）What kind of market is "the Rastro"?A.For discount.B.For artworks.C.To sell various goods.D.To sell antiques and CDs.（3）What is a must when travelling in Madrid?A.Having dinner earlier.B.Enjoying flamenco.C.Visiting Prado Museum.D.Drinking in a tapas bar.3.When Miguelina meets with people looking for jobs, she will tell them that the most important thing they can do is asking themselves for help in getting the job they need.One time, she felt so impressed that things would work out for a man. She then began to work helping him with job searching. A short time later, the man found a new job.Working as an employment specialist（就业专家）, Miguelina has the chance to help people regularly."Any career that helps you serve others is a special career," Miguelina said. "It not only helps us by serving others, but also helps others take care of needs in their own lives. This improves their lives and helps them live better. This is what I love most about it."Before being called as an employment specialist, however, Miguelina didn't even know that the employment center had existed. She had no idea what she should do in her career. As she studied and learned, she discovered what she could do. She decided to take over the Career Workshop（就业讲习班）the employment center offered so she could get a better idea of what people were learning.She learned so much from the Career Workshop.

河北省邢台市2024-2025学年高二上学期第一次月考英语试题
河北省邢台市2024-2025学年高二上学期第一次月考英语试题一、阅读理解The UK is an incredibly diverse destination for travelers. Here’s our pick of some splendid places to visit in the country. Grasmere, Lake DistrictEngland’s Lake District has such a breadth of beautiful landscapes that visiting just one doesn’t do it justice. Grasmere is perhaps one of the best places to start. Grasmere houses great hotels as well as an award-winning small bookshop, which is for stocking up on maps and mountain literature. Grasmere’s Dove Cottage was home to poet William Wordsworth. Cairngorms National Park, ScotlandScotland’s Cairngorms is arguably the last truly wild place remaining in the UK. In winter, these hills sit beneath meters of wind-swept snow. In summer, the long days and warm sun make it the perfect place for hiking and camping. Adventurers will go hiking into the hills, while those who want to be quieter should go to Loch an Eilein, a ruined castle located on its central island where you can enjoy the scenery on postcards and see red squirrels (松鼠) up close. Hadrian’s Wall, NorthumberlandThe one-time northern frontier of the Roman Empire, Hadrian’s Wall is arguably the greatest historical site in a country blessed with castles and ruins. Stretching from one side of England to the other, its central section is the most arresting, the wall rising and falling across steep hills. Those with more time can follow the 135-kilometer national path, taking in the wall from Newcastle to the Solway Firth. Glens of Antrim, Northern IrelandThe nine Glens of Antrim extend down from the Antrim Plateau to the Irish Sea. You can hire a car and follow the winding coast road, built in the 1830s, which covers over 160 kilometers, with views of the hills. The Glens of Antrim has a starring role in a TV series, meaning this part of Northern Ireland has attracted a flood of tourists in recent years.1．What can visitors do at Grasmere?A．Visit Newcastle’s wall.B．Attend the local book fair.C．Explore Wordsworth’s life.D．Observe red squirrels at close range. 2．Which has been made famous through exposure in a TV series?A．Grasmere.B．Cairngorms National Park.C．Hadrian’s Wall.D．Glens of Antrim.3．Who is the text most likely intended for?A．Beach-goers.B．Castle-admirers.C．Literature-explorers.D．Travel-lovers.Virginia “Ginger” Hislop, now 105, recently received her master’s degree from Stanford University, 83 years after completing her master ‘ s in education in Stanford in 1941. Originally Hislop desired to be a lawyer, but her father rejected paying law school tuition (学费) because he didn’t support women lawyers. Therefore, Teaching was the next best choice for Hislop with the help of her grandmother and aunt. She enrolled at Stanford in 1936, earning her bachelor’s (学士) degree in education four years later.It’s worth noting that even if she had received her degree, many school systems wouldn’t have hired her as a married woman. Not until the 1964 Civil Rights Act were these “marriage bars” that allowed for schools to not hire wives, and even fire teachers who got married after hiring, completely done away with. Gender (性别) inequality may have put a hold on her career, but they led to her becoming a powerful advocate for all students.Hislop worked to improve educational opportunities for all students, believing everyone should have access to higher education if they desired. Her efforts contributed to transforming Yakima Valley College from a junior college to an independent institution awarding associates, bachelor’s, and master’s degrees. This was achieved through her work with local and state legislators and the Community College Act of 1967. Hislop also served on boards of various education and arts-focused organizations.“I didn’t return to teaching, but I feel I put my teaching certificate to good use serving in committees and on boards and trying to improve educational opportunities every chance I got,” Hislop says. At 105, Hislop remains an active community member. Her son-in-law Doug Jensen notes, “The biggest lesson I’ve taken from her is that you never really stop learning. She’s a reader with a strong thirst for knowledge, and at 105 she’s still energetically moving and shaking.”4．What made Hislop choose teaching?A．Financial difficulties of her family.B．Family responsibilities.C．Her interest in education.D．Her father’s refusal of tuition.5．What can we know about the society when Hislop was young?A．Women faced many limits on career.B．Lawyer was the best job choice.C．Education was open to everyone.D．Men and women had equal chances. 6．What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?A．Hislop’s political ambitions.B．Hislop’s plan to build educational equality.C．Hislop’s desire to change education policies.D．Hislop’s efforts and contribution in education.7．Which of the following can best describe Hislop?A．Determined and devoted.B．Energetic and humorous.C．Wise but indecisive.D．Courageous but impatient.Several companies in different fields are hurrying to develop cool and dry face masks to help people in the upcoming unbearable summer heat in Japan.For instance, a sports marketing company in late May started sales of face masks made with a soft stretch material that is used for its swimsuits and wear for track and field athletics. By using the material, the repeatedly washable mask can fit the face with less stress and help prevent splash infections (感染). The product, which costs 935 yen including tax, gained strong popularity, with 20,000 pieces sold on its first online sales day.Similarly, another Japanese company, a maker of equipment for badminton, tennis and other sports, will sell masks made with its “Very Cool” material containing xylitol from early July. Xylitol absorbs heat, responding to sweat, and the material is used for the wear for the Japan badminton national team, as well as professional tennis players. The company plans to sell the mask at 840 yen, tax included. Notably, the length of the string of the quick-drying mask can be adjusted for a better fit.In addition, a fast retailing company plans to start selling face masks this summer featuring a highly breathable and fast-drying material used for its popular underwear products that are cool and dry quickly. Its spokeswoman said the date of the debut of the mask and its price will be announced once they are determined. But one thing is for sure: It won’t cost more than 1,000 yen, including tax.Moreover, a company, specializing in the production and sale of various knit products, hasput on sale cloth masks equipped with ice packs. The mask has two pockets to hold four refrigerant (冷却的) packs and can cool the user’s face for one to two hours. The new mask sells for 1,300 yen, including tax, in vending machines and online sales are also available. The mask can be used repeatedly if cooled in a freezer.These innovative approaches by various companies highlight the diverse strategies being employed to combat the intense summer heat while ensuring safety and comfort for the users. 8．What is the purpose of this text?A．To warn people to wear face masks.B．To introduce some face masks fit for summer.C．To find some materials suitable for face masks.D．To refer to some famous companies in Asia.9．What’s the unique feature of the masks made by the sports marketing company?A．Absorbing heat.B．Breathable and fast-drying.C．Washable and with less stress on the face.D．Cool the user’s face for one hour. 10．What does the underlined word “debut” in paragraph 4 mean?A．The first public appearance,B．The research of the material.C．The convenience of the material.D．The lowest price.11．Which company’s masks are the most costly?A．The sports marketing company.B．The company selling equipment forbadmintonC．The fast retailing company.D．The company selling various knit products.The China National Space Administration (CNSA) has successfully collected rock and soil samples from the far side of the moon, which will offer scientists an opportunity to study the lesser-understood lunar face unseen from Earth.The samples entered Earth’s atmosphere on Tuesday and landed in northern China. They were secured in a re-entry capsule (太空舱) from a larger spacecraft, called Chang’e-6. The entire mission lasted nearly two months and marked a milestone for lunar research. “Chang’e-6 is the first mission in human history to return samples from the far side of the moon,” Long Xiao, a planetary geologist, tells the media. “This is a major event for scientists worldwide.”Launched on May 3, the Chang’e-6 spacecraft consisted of four modules: an ascender (上升器), an orbiter, a lunar lander and a return capsule. It reached lunar orbit five days later, where it remained for several weeks. On June 1, the lander successfully descended and touched down on the far side of the moon in the South Pole Aitken Basin. Directing the movement of a spacecraft on the far side of the moon is difficult, because the moon blocks radio signals from Earth. To solve this problem, CNSA engineers used two relay satellites, Queqiao and Queqiao-2, launched ahead of this mission, to communicate with the spacecraft.Once on the moon, Chang’e-6 used a robotic arm to collect 4.4 pounds of lunar material. “Collecting samples from the far side is exciting, as we only have very limited information on the geology there,” says Martin Barstow, an astrophysicist at the University of Leicester in England. The collection of rocks launched from the lunar surface in the spacecraft’s ascender on June 3, then united with the orbiter later. It began its earth-bound journey on June 21, and will get to China this week.Scientists hope the lunar soil will offer evidence of the history of the moon, which could also explain that of the Earth. Most lunar basins were formed from asteroid showers 3.9 billion years ago, which also hit the Earth and possibly carried water there.12．Which carried the lunar soil back to Earth?A．The orbiter.B．The lunar lander.C．The ascender.D．The return capsule. 13．How long did it take the Chang’e-6 to reach the moon?A．Nearly a month.B．About a week.C．20 days.D．11 days.14．What is the function of the relay satellites?A．To prevent the Chang’e-6 spacecraft being harmed.B．To repair the Chang’e-6 spacecraft in case of emergency.C．To provide better signals for the Chang’e-6 spacecraft.D．To better observe the flight of the Chang’e-6 spacecraft.15．Why is the soil from the far side of the moon important?A．It is the first time to collect lunar soil.B．It may help scientists know more about the moon.C．The soil is very rare on the moon.D．It is made up of at least 100 chemicalelements.Over the last year, grocery (食品杂货) prices have increased a bit. Mia Moncel, founder of a cooking program, gives tips on how to spend less money at the store. Do online research16 . “Just type each item into the search bar on your grocery store’s website,” Moncel says. “It will show you what they have available at that store, and you can compare them in the comfort of your home instead of waiting in line at the grocery store.”Don’t think bulk (大量) deals are betterIs it always cheaper to buy in bulk? “Not all the time,” says Moncel. 17 . For example, if you decide whether to buy that family size box of cookies, or just a regular box, look at the price per kilogram. If the regular box has a lower price per kilogram than the bulk pack, it’s a better deal. Replace pricey ingredients (原料) with cheap ones“Meat usually costs more than vegetables,” says Moncel. 18 For example, if a dish calls for a pound of beef, you could reduce the beef by half and then take less expensive ingredients like beans. That way, you’ll still get the taste of the beef without the cost. 19 “Before you head to the store, take your shopping list into the kitchen and carefully check whether you have those items. You might not realize you already have some of those things on hand,” says Moncel. Think outside the big-box grocery storeOrganic eggs, for example, are sometimes cheaper at farmer’s markets. So shop around. “Once you get to know the average prices at each of these stores, decide which one is the best to shop this week,” Moncel says. “ 20 .”A．Double-check your kitchenB．Store delicious foods at homeC．There are two options open to youD．She suggests paying attention to unit pricesE．But cutting back doesn’t mean going withoutF．It may take more time, but it can save your moneyG．Compare the prices of foods online before you go shopping二、完形填空When I was 17, my rowing coach declared that taking a day off a week was unnecessary.

Firstly, what confuses me most is the proper use of tenses. I often mix up tenses, leading to low scores on my writings, What’s more, I s truggle to find appropriate wordsto express myself accurately. Despite my massive efforts to expand my vocabulary, words still fail me when I need to write. In addition, I find it difficult to make my writing well-structured and coherent, which frustrates me a lot.I’d appreciate it if you could give me some practical suggestions on my problems. Looking forward to your reply.Yours,Li Hua第二节(满分25分)Before I knew it, I had only one day left for the project. In a panic I quickly glued together whatever materials I could find, my hands shaking with the weight of each hasty decision. The finished result looked miserable. However, several of my classmates, including Nate, had created amazingly detailed buildings. They used materials like clay, wood and so on and their constructions were highly praised by Mr. Smith. When I saw their models, I felt even more embarrassed about mine. It was apparent that they had put a lot more time into the assignment than I had.That taught me a great lesson. I learned from that day the importance of deciding on my priorities and budgeting my time. From then on, I tackled things a lot earlier instead of putting things off until tomorrow. As a result, not only did I finish my tasks ontime, but I also felt better because I didn’t have to panic at the last minute. At the end of the semester, my work was chosen by Mr. Smith on another occasion. Seeing my change, my parents and my sister were so proud of me. It dawned on me that getting things done on time instead of being a procrastinator really counted.听力录音稿Text 1M: Do you have any idea what’s wrong with my houseplant It gets plenty of sun and enough plant food...W: Are you watering it too often Remember this plant comes from the desert where there’s hardly any rain.M: Ah..Maybe that’s the problem!Text 2M: It seems to be human nature to pursue what we don’t have. Tall people want to be shorter, and short people want to be taller... W: I know.

Text 10On my recent business trip to Shanghai, I met up with a local friend who took me out for a very interesting evening meal. At the Community AI Canteen, everything is done by robots. When you walk in there, you place your order on a screen. Using robotic arms, the intelligent cooking system then cooks your food before packing it up... It even adjusts the temperature, depending on whether you want to eat it straight away or take it home with you! To pay, you place your food on a smart cash desk, which immediately calculates (计算) the cost. There’s even a 24-hour noodle machine just outside, which offers hot and fresh food around the clock. The canteen offers a huge amount of choices and the dishes taste great. It is really fun to get “a taste of the future”. However, I’m not sure I would like all restaurants to be run by robots. I can see the benefits for busy families or office workers needing a quick lunch, but what about lonely older people who would miss the human touch I do think we will see more places like this in the future, though. At best, a human waiter can serve around 100 people in a day. The AI system can serve double that figure, making it good for business.荆州中学2024-2025学年高二上学期9月月考英语试题命题人：审题人：（全卷满分150分考试时间120分钟）第一部分听力(共两节，满分30分)第一节(共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分)听下面5段对话。

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

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

Skilled at putting up shelves and piecing together furniture, she never pays someone else to do a job she can do herself.She credits these skills to her late grandfather and builder Derek Lloyd. From the age of six, Terri, now 26, accompanied Derek to work during her school holidays. A day’s work was rewarded with £5 in pocket money. She says: “I’m sure I wasn’t much of a help to start with, painting the rooms and putting down the flooring throughout the house. It took weeks and it was backbreaking work, but I know he was proud of my skills.”Terri, who now rents a house with friends in Wandsworth, South West London, says DIY also saves her from losing any deposit when a tenancy (租期) comes to an end. She adds: “I’ve moved house many times and I always like to personalise my room and put up pictures, so, it’s been useful to know how to cover up holes and repaint a room to avoid any charges when I’vemoved out.”With millions of people likely to take on DIY projects over that coming weeks, new research shows that more than half of people are planning to make the most of the long, warm summer days to get jobs done. The average spend per project will be around £823. Two thirds of people aim to improve their comfort while at home. Two fifths wish to increase the value of their house. Though DIY has traditionally been seen as male hobby, the research shows it is women now leading the charge.4．Which is closest in meaning to “a dab hand” in paragraph 1?A．An artist.B．A winner.C．A specialist.D．A pioneer. 5．Why did Terri’s grandfather give her £5 a day?A．For a birthday gift.B．As a treat for her work.C．To support her DIY projects.D．To encourage her to take up a hobby. 6．How did Terri avoid losing the deposit on the house she rented?A．By making it look like before.B．By furnishing it herself.C．By splitting the rent with a roommate.D．By cancelling the rental agreement. 7．What trend in DIY does the research show?A．It is becoming more costly.B．It is getting more time-consuming.C．It is turning into a seasonal industry.D．It is gaining popularity among females.Starting next year, many Japanese singles might have a higher possibility of finding their dream partner — through government-aided AI matchmaking (婚介) services.The Japanese government will fund local authorities 2 billion yen (about 126 million yuan) to boost the birth rate. Part of the fund will be used to support projects that use AI to pair people up. Although there are some existing matchmaking systems, which consider criteria such as income and age, the more advanced AI system will also take into account factors like hobbies and values.Japan has one of the world’s lowest birth rates. The number of babies born in Japan in 2019 fell below 865, 000 — the lowest record since 1899, according to the BBC．As a major reason for the aging population, the fast-greying nation has long been searching for ways to improve the situation. Boosting the use of AI tech is one of its latest efforts.An aging population is not just a problem in Japan. Globally, mankind is growing in number and age. According to the United Nations, the world population is expected to reach 9.7 billion in 2050. While by 2050, one in six people in the world will be over age 65. In China, by 2050, the number is expected to increase to 500 million, making China one of the world’s most aged societies.China has taken measures to deal with the aging population.China loosened its family planning policy in 2015 to allow all couples to have two children. The government has also been improving the elderly care system. By June 2020, China had220,000 nursing institutions, with over 7.9 million beds, among which 50 percent are private, according to China Daily.To take care of so many elderly people, last year Japan introduced robots to help. For example, cleaning robots can wash dishes, prepare simple meals or tidy up elderly people’s homes. Communication robots can chat with elderly people and remind them of their daily routine. “These robots are wonderful,” Kazuko Yamada, 84, told Reuters after having an exercise lesson with a robot.8．What might be the unique advantage of matchmaking systems using AI?A．They can increase the birth rate.B．They help to find partners with values.C．They provide richer and younger matches.D．They assess more aspects to pair people up.9．What does the underlined word “its” refer to in Paragraph 3?A．The country’s.B．The situation’s.C．The birth rate’s.D．The matchmaking system’s.10．How does the author show the seriousness of the aging population problems?A．By making comparisons.B．By giving definitions.C．By listing figures.D．By using others’ words.11．What’s the best title of the passage?A．Promoting matchmaking services B．Facing the fact of aging nationsC．Using robots to help the elderly D．Addressing issues of fast greyingMen aren’t typically known for their shopping power. As the “She economy” became a buzz phrase in business magazines, the ever-expanding Chinese female middle class has been eagerly pursued by consumer brands from cosmetics to electronics. For some companies, that means there is a huge missed opportunity in the male market, especially given the fast-rising living standards across the most populous country on the earth and a male population that’s increasingly longing for a better quality of life.Those instincts appear to be largely on point, according to the latest report on male consumption trends conducted by Suning Institute of Finance. The author of the report, the institute’s Senior Researcher Fu Yifu, concluded the male-oriented (男性导向的) market in China has great potential after observing three specific shopping habits of Chinese men in recent years: widened category, improved awareness and increased online consumption.These trends are particularly noticeable in the country’s tech-adapted Millennial and Gen-Z populations, who have warmly embraced some special-interest consumer culture in other parts of the world through the Internet, such as the sneakerhead subculture, as a way to express their individuality. More importantly, many are willing to spend a fortune on it.Also, nowadays, many Chinese men are definitely looking to lead more refined lives. The desire for “refined lives” has been channeled strongly through the pursuance of a more polished look-lighter skin, longer eyelashes and bigger eyes. These features are widely considered to be desirable traits for modern Chinese men.JACB, which stands for “just a cool brand”, is one of the Chinese start-ups looking to capitalize on men’s increasing desire for a finer appearance. While most male cosmetic products today still focus on fixing skin problems such as acne (粉刺), JACB is pioneering the “men makeup” category with products such as BB cream for men. And the company mainly targets men in their 20s and early 30s, as they are more accepting of the new trends.“The individual’s awakening in consumption has helped drive the men-oriented market to new heights that we are seeing today,” Fu said. “Chinese men have learned to buy skincare products, expensive suits, watches and luxury cars as a way to show their personal abilities.”12．What may have given chance to the male market?A．Men desire to have a better quality of life.B．Men spend more time on consumption.C．Men expect to raise their living standards.D．Men pursue some consumer brands.13．What might be the characteristic of the Gen-Z populations?A．They are addicted to the Internet.B．They are eager to spend a fortune.C．They are reluctant to express themselves.D．They are keen on some consumer culture. 14．What does the underlined word “refined” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A．Educated.B．Precise.C．Elegant.D．Polite.15．What does the passage mainly talk about?A．The awakening of individual consumption.B．The rise of male-oriented economy.C．The potential of special-interest culture.D．The desire for a finer appearance.Global average temperature has increased by 1℃ over the past century due to climate change, making heat waves more frequent and intense than those from any other point in recorded history. 16 A study published in the journal Nature Climate Change found global warming responsible for 37 percent of heat-related deaths between 1991 and 2022.The following is what happens if you’re the next to be killed. First, your brain sends a series of messages to your sweat glands telling them to increase sweat production. Then your heart starts beating faster to pump blood to the skin while blood flow is directed away from important organs (器官) like your liver, kidneys and gut. 17If heat stroke occurs, your body might get hot and direct so much oxygen-rich blood to the skin that it suffocates (把……闷死) vital internal organs. If your body fails to cool you down, its internal temperature might start to climb from a normal level to about 104 degrees. At that temperature, your brain becomes affected. 18 Before long, you might lose consciousness. Your brain might begin to swell.While you struggle to stay awake and avoid dizzying confusion, the excessive internal heat is damaging your gut, consequently causing an inflammatory (发炎的) response. 19 That’s just part of what we know about how extreme heat kills you. 20 A lot of what we know comes from studies on animal models, like mice and rats, or from examinations of people dying of heat stroke.A．As the heat rises quickly, so does the death number.B．That’s because we can’t study it in humans in the laboratory.C．As temperatures increase ever higher, that figure may well rise.D．You may feel it start as a dull headache.E．Surviving the organ failure might require an emergency transplant.F．Sometimes that alone is enough to create problems for a weak or aging heart.G．Left untreated, what follows is a flood of organ failure that leads to your death.二、完形填空Adam Wolfers believes that his son’s autism (自闭症) has a positive impact on his hobby of photography. 10-year-old Morgan has always possessed a 21 eye for capturing the world around him through his camera.

It is a completely new experience, but you shouldn’t worry. We’ve got a guide to help you. You’re not alone, Remember that everybody else in your year is in the same boat. You may not notice it, but they’re just as nervous as you are.Moving to senior high school is a chance, not a problem. Things are different, and all you need to do is be polite and learn the new rules. The teachers will help you.If you don’t know what to do or are worrie d about something, then ask for help. Teachers are probably the best people to turn to, because they have experience in helping new students. Pay attention to what your teachers say. Everything changes.There are lots of differences between junior high school and senior high school. You will have your lessons with different teachers in different rooms. You will have homework for different subjects on different days, so make sure you get organised.Make sure you know which rooms your classes are in and which days you have your different subjects on. Other points:If you’ve got an older brother or sister at the school, then ask them for advice.Be yourself!

This everyday saying may have some truth, but dogs are not the only animal friends that people like. For example, cats can be good house pets, too.People enjoy the friendship with cats. Cats love to keep close to their owners. Cats are quite playful. They love to run after balls, or play with anything hanging from a string (绳子). They especially enjoy playing when their owners play games with them. Just like a dog, a cat can be trained to perform tricks (诡计) or avoid unwanted acts.Cats do not have to be walked. They get plenty of exercise in the house as they play, and they do their business in their little boxes. So their owners only need to spend time cleaning their little boxes. Washing a cat is almost never necessary, because cats usually clean themselves. In addition, cats can be left alone at home for a few hours without any worry. Unlike some pets, most cats will not destroy the furniture when left alone. They just go about their usual activities until their owners return.Cats are polite members of a family. Unlike dogs, cats do not make lots of loud noise. They walk very quietly. Also, cats don’t often have "accidents". Mother cats train their babies to use the little box, and most cats will use it from that time on. Cats keep their energy by sleeping more than most animals, especially as they grow older.55. From this passage, we can learn that ______.A. cats would rather play alone than with othersB. cats were born to play tricks on their ownersC. many people think dogs are man’s best friendsD. cats sleep less than any other animal does56. What can we infer（推断from the passage?A. Cats are very easy to be kept as house pets.B. Cats need more time to do exercise than dogs.C. Cats are afraid of going out alone.D. Cats don’t like to clean themselves.57. The passage tells us that if a cat is left alone at home, it will ________.A. stay in its little boxB. destroy the furnitureC. be quieter than usualD. do its usual activities58. In the last paragraph, we can learn that cats are _______.A. playfulB. cuteC. politeD. noisyDIt’s school time again! You’re probably feeling excited and maybe a little sad that summer is over. Some kids feel nervous or a little scared on the first day of school because of all the new things: new teachers, new friends, and even a new school. Luckily, these “new” worries only stick around for a little while. Let’s find out more about going to a new school.Most teachers kick off the new school year by introducing themselves and talking about all the stuff you’ll b e doing that year. Some teachers give students a chance to tell something about themselves to the rest of the class, too. When teachers do the talking on the first day, they often go over classroom rules and school rules so you’ll know what’s allowed and what’s not. Please pay close attention.You might already know a lot of people in your classes on the first day, but it’s a great day to make a new friend, so try to say hello to kids you know and new ones that you don’t. Make the first move and you’ll be glad you did, and so will your new friend!Seeing friends you haven’t seen in a while can make the first day a good one. You can make the day feel special by wearing clothes that you really like. Maybe you got a great T-shirt on one of your vacations, or a pair of sneakers（运动鞋）. It also can make you feel good to be prepared and have all the things you need, such as pencils, folders, and whatever else you’ll be needing. But make sure that you pack them the night before in case you don’t have time in the morn ing.59. The underlined phrase “kick off” in the second paragraph probably means“__________”.A. startB. studyC. findD. teach60. The last paragraph（段落）mainly tell us about ________.A. what to know about a new schoolB. how to prepare for a new schoolC. what to do on your first day of schoolD. how to spend your first day of school61. According to the passage you usually do everything on the first day of schoolexcept _______.A. introduce yourselfB. learn about the school rulesC. make new friendsD. go over your new lessons62. If you happen to see an old friend on the first day of school, from the passage weknow that you will feel ________A. nervousB. luckyC. happyD. excitedEIt’s good to get along with your teacher because it makes the time you spend in the classroom more pleasant.It’s also good to get along with your teacher because, in general, it’s smart to learn how to relate to the different kinds of people you’l l meet throughout your life. But really, there’s one super-important reason why you should get along with your teacher. When you do, “learning bursts right open,” says Evelyn Vuko, a longtime teacher who writes an education column called “Teacher Says” fo r the Washington Post newspaper.In fact, kids who get along with their teachers not only learn more, but they’re also more comfortable asking questions and getting extra help. This makes it easier to understand new material and do the best on tests. When you have this kind of relationship with a teacher, he or she can be someone to turn to when you have problems, such as problems with learning, school issues, or bullying.As a kid in elementary or middle school, you’re at a wonderful stage in your life. You’re like a sponge（海绵）, able to take in lots of new and exciting information. On top of that, you’re able to think about all this information in new ways. Remember teachers are people too, and they feel great if you’re open to what they’re teaching you. That’s why they wanted to be teachers in the first place—to teach!In every school, kids will say certain teachers are tough. In fact, in most cases, your teacher wants to help you. And a teacher who’s called tough may be someone who feels strongly about getting his or her job done —teaching you what you are supposed to learn.63.

Like most people here, I was on the move over the Chinese New Year. My "flight" took off early on the last morning of the Year of the Ox and reached the airport eight minutes later. Yet it never left the ground.My flight —that’s what it was called —was Shanghai’s newMaglev (m agnetic levitation) train. It’s the world’s fastest line, and probably holds the most passengers.It ran up to 500 kilometers per hour, and everyone loved traveling on it. A lady named Lu Congmei was sitting in front of me with her husband, sister and other family members. Lu had a window seat, and was very excited. "It’s wonderful," she said. They were carrying shopping bags full of things from China’s famous underground market, Three Guns. On my left was a 14-year-old girl named Dai Wei. She told me the journey was amazing, and that she would tell all her friends to try it. She added, "It is fast, really fast, much faster than I’d expected. It feels like flying."True, the train has no wings (翅膀), wheels or engine. A German company called Transrapid developed the system, introducing the Maglev as "a great step forward in the field of railway technology".Local people call it "joyride"(兜风).The line I took runs across the Huangpu River to the international airport in Pudong. The ride added some happiness to my first Spring Festival in China, and left a deep impression on me.66. When did the author take the train?A. On the morning of the New Year’s Eve.B.
