When I was fifteen, I announced to my English class that I was going to write my own books. Half the students smiled 1 , and even worse, the rest nearly fell out of their chairs laughing. “Don’t be2 . Only geniuses can become writ ers.” the English teacher said, “And you are getting a D this term.” I was so3 that I burst into tears. That night I wrote a short4 poem about broken dreams and mailed it to the newspaper. To my5 , they published it and sent me two dollars. I was a published and paid writer. I showed my teacher and fellow students. They laughed, “Just plain dumb luck,” the teacher said. I tasted6 ; I’d sold the first thing I’d ever written. That was more than any of them had done and if it was just dumb luck, that was fine with me.During the next two years,I sold dozens of poems and letters. By the time I graduated from high school, I had scrapbooks (剪贴簿) 7 with my published works. I never 8 my writing to my teachers, friends or my family again because they were dream 9 .I had four children at the time. While the children slept, I typed on my ancient typewriter. I wrote what I felt. It took nine months. I chose a 10 and mailed it. A month later I received a contract, an advance on payments, and a request to start 11 another book. Crying Wind, which became a best seller, was translated into fifteen languages and sold worldwide. My first book also became required 12 in native American schools in Canada.In the 13 year I ever had as a writer I earned two dollars. In my best year I earned 36,000 dollars. People ask what college I 14 , what degrees I have and what qualifications I have to be a writer. The answer is: “None.” I just write. I’m not a genius. I use an electric typewriter that I paid a hundred and twenty nine dollars for six years ago. I do all the housework and fit my writing in a few minutes here and there. I’ve written eight books. To all those who dream of writing, I’m shouting at you: “Yes, you can. Don’t listen to them.” I don’t write right but I’ve succeeded. Writing is 15 ; it’s fun and anyone can do it. Of course, a little dumb luck doesn’t hurt.1. A. unkindly B. happily C. willingly D. crazily2. A. curious B. depressed C. excited D. silly3. A. unlucky B. ashamed C. moved D. unconfident4.

Jim, 42,didn’t like the idea that a theft could have occurred at his place. So he set out to find the wallet. He spent hourscheckingthe video tapesfrom 16different surveillance cameras(监控摄像机),watching thewoman’s every step in the bar until she went to sit on a bench outside and left whenher ride arrived. Within minutes, a young manapproached thebench,quickly putsomething in his pocket, and walked off.Jimposted a clipon the bar’s Facebook page. “I just askedif anybody knew who the guy was,”Jimsaid.
One summer, the neighborhood where she lived would hold a singing competition. Her best friend, Lucy, came to invite her to participate in the competition, but Emily said, “ I’m afraid totake part in it.” Her mother said, “ It’s okay, just do it bravely.” Emily followed her mama’s advice and decided to give herself a try. The day came. Emily and Lucy went to the competition site. But she was too timid (胆小的) to walked onto the stage. She had been waiting until others finished singing. She shakily forced herself to stand on the stage. She started to sing, but her voice was so low. What’s worse, she was so nervous that she forget the lyrics (歌词) after singing a few words. Being laughed at by others, embarrassed and shy, she ran away from the stage.

上海市静安区2023-2024学年高二上学期12月月考英语模拟试题(含答案)
上海市静安区2023-2024学年高二上学期12月月考英语模拟试题II. GrammarDirections: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passages 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.(A)You know what they say, marriage is like a box of chocolates and you never know what you are gonna get. My wife and I had a "ferocious" argument the other night (21) _________ we were watching one episode of the latest season of a reality show called. See You Again. Basically, the show was about three couples [22] _________ (embark) on an 18-day vacation to try to work out their marital issues in the hope of saving their marriages. For them, it was really a make-it-or-break-it vacation.[23] _________ we both agreed on most men's incompetence in expressing their true feelings in any intimate relationship, my still beloved wife and I failed miserably to see eye to eye on reasons for that. She blamed it on men's upbringing while I thought it had more to do with the influence of outdated social norms and stereotypes on men.Our society [24] _________ (discourage) emotional expression in men for ages, telling them they can't shed a tear or show any vulnerability. These outdated ideas about what it means to be a man have messed them up big time. To me, it is no wonder that in the marriage market, the most common type available [25] _________ women is the silent but dominant type of men with the whole breadwinner and homemaker roles still [26] _________ (stick) in their heads. So when things don't go that way, of course, they will feel lost."Intimidated" by my rigorous logic, my wife purposefully shifted the focus of her argument to [27] _________ we two should raise our son and what I could have done better if I had taken her advice seriously.However, things started to get much [28] _________ (personal) when both of us seemed to run out of witty arguments. Realizing this disagreement would lead us nowhere, I wasted no time apologizing to her for my ill-considered words with dignity and offered to clean the plates piling up in the sink ([29] _________ _________ I cooked dinner that night!) Faced with an offer she couldn't refuse, my wife kindly reminded me [30] _________ (not forget) to dry the towel when I was done. Apology accepted, hence case closed.At the end of the day, I exhibited my vulnerability as requested and she showed her mercy as expected. We just agreed to disagree and lived happily ever after.(B)Back then, I was a very nervous new father. I didn't know [31] _________ _________ to feed my son, how hard to pat his back to burp him, or whether it was okay to let him sleep as long as be wants. I bought myself lots of books about parenting, only [32] _________ (find) that there were so many new things to learn that I inevitably begun to feel overwhelmed.My friend May, a soon-to-be mother herself, [33] _________ (sense) my anxiety and, to calm me down, texted me one night saying, "No book can be a substitute for your own sensitive contemplation and careful observation. Books can be [34] _________ small additional value, but no more. Just listen to your son and he'll teach you how to be a father."That struck me a lot because I grew up in a time when most of the parents, including my own, believed that children [35] _________ be seen and not heard. Naturally, I thought he was nothing and only grownups were worth something. The idea [36] _________ children do not know anything but will do so, and are not capable of doing anything but will learn, made me live in a permanent state of expectation. For the sake of tomorrow, I failed to respect [37] _________ might amuse, sadden, amaze, anger, and interest him today. For the sake of tomorrow, I stole years of his life.Things changed for me when I got down on my knees, waiting for my son to open up. Once I came down to his level, I found I didn't even [38] _________ _________ ask questions. I just listened. He granted me permission to gaze into his pockets to see all his cherished collections: bird's feathers, colored stones and oddly-shaped leaves. He also discussed with me about his grand plan to travel to the South Pole with the girl in his class [39] _________ happened to want to marry him. We both knew our relationship was built on mutual respect and trust.Now, seven years later after my son's birth, I still marvel at May's simple wisdom. Being there listening to my son has not only rescued [40] _________ from "those best parenting books one cannot afford to miss" but also from over-evaluating and over-obsessing about him. Simply put, my son has taught me to be a father. I have affection for what he is today and respect for what he can become in the future. All I need to do is to listen.III. VocabularyDirections: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Do note that there is one word more than you need in each passage.(A)A. advantageousB. programmingC. fashionD. fueled AB. advancedAC. sacrifice AD. capped BC. habitually BD. appetite CD. likelihoodABC. unnecessarilyEating a calorie-rich diet brought us humans a great advantage: time. We spent less of the day obtaining food. We saved countless hours of needless chewing. Instead, we invested time in doing the things that make us human: we started to [41] _________ tools, erect structures, share stories, create myths and play games.Calories made humanity possible. Calories are what [42] _________ our big brains. Our calorie-rich diet didn't reinforce the compulsion to eat, it released us from a food-gripped existence. Just because we require calories does not mean our basic [43] _________ compels us to over-consume them, for the same reason that requiring oxygen does not compel us to perpetually hyperventilate. Yes, it may be [44] _________ to carry extra calories in time of famine, but this assumes an overly simplistic view of our evolutionary past.Out there in nature, carrying extra body weight brings serious, even deadly, disadvantages. To the evolving primate, greater body mess means slower acceleration and a(n) [45] _________ in the ability to change speed and direction quickly. Back when we were prey - when our ancestors were [46] _________ eaten by big cats, pythons and even eagles - our ability to nimbly start, stop and turn was crucial for survival. To a predator, a fat human was not only easier to spot and easier to catch, it made for a bigger, better meal. To the prey we hunted, a fat human was easier to evade and outrun. Carrying too much fat also increases the [47] _________ of injury and death due to the forces and loads involved in maintaining a larger body. To put it in the simple arithmetic of evolutionary fitness, being [48] _________ fat didn't increases an individual's chances of passing on their genes. It actually reduced them.As we became more [49] _________ there were even more reasons to refrain from overindulgence. Food had to be shared with other members of the tribe, then the village, then the town, especially with children, whose dependence on adults for resources lasts an eternity compared with other species.Otherwise, the human species would have died off long ago, if we really were slaves to a never-ceasing [50] _________ for calories.All of these have left us with the following paradox: Why were humans generally able to resist vastly over-consuming calories up until about fifty years ago?Quoted from Mark Schatzker's The End of Craving(B)A. nestingB. signalsC. accessibleD. overnight AB. decisively AC. illiteratesAD. literally BC. unaware BD. motivated CD. accused ABC. terrifying The good news is that today's teenagers are greedy readers and productive writers. The bad news is that what they are reading and writing are text messages.It's an unmissable trend. Even if you don't have teenage kids, you'll still see other people's offspring wandering around, their eyes averted, tapping away, totally [51] _________ of their surroundings. Take a group of teenagers to see the eight wonders of the world. Chances are that they'll [52] _________ be texting all the way, even if it means missing all those awe-inspiring moments. Show a teenager Jan Vermeer's The Girl with a Pearl Earring. You might get a quick glance before a buzz [53] _________ the arrival of the latest SMS.Now before I am [54] _________ of throwing stones in a glass house, let me confess. I probably send about 50 texts a day, and I receive what seem like 200. But there is difference, I also read books. It's a quaint old habit I picked up as a kid, in the days before cellphones began [55] _________ in the palms of the young.According to a survey carried about in 2019, half of today's teenagers don't read books except when they're made to. What is more [56] _________ to me as a high school teacher is the fact that almost two-thirds of high school freshmen read for pleasure for less than an hour per week. Nearly half of seniors don't read for pleasure at all.Why does this matter? Because, to some extent, this texting craze can and will produce a large number of cultural [57] _________ who are cut off from the civilization of their ancestors if we don't take some necessary measures.So how can we encourage our teenagers to read books? Whether in the classroom or at home, one of the best ways to promote reading is by reading together. Another way to encourage reading is to helpteenagers set a goal to read a certain number of books or read books from a certain genre. This will help them stay focused and [58] _________ to read. For instance, if your child loves playing football, read the storybook related to football. Or if your child loves going on walks, take along some picture books to read along the way. By making reading more [59] _________ and fun, we can foster a love of reading in them.But don't expect children to fall in love with reading [60] _________. When it comes to reading, trust the process.IV. ClozeDirections: For each blank in the following passage, there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.(A)Facing AI extinctionIn a recent White House press conference, press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre couldn't suppress her laughter at the question: Is it "crazy" to worry that "literally everyone on Earth will die" due to artificial intelligence? [61] _________, the answer is no.While AI pioneer such as Alan Turing cautioned that we should expect "machines to take control", many contemporary researchers [62] _________ this concern. In an area of unprecedented growth in AI abilities, why aren't more expects weighing in?Before the deep-learning revolution in 2012, I didn't think human-level AI would emerge in my lifetime. I was familiar with arguments that AI systems would insatiably seek power and resist shutdown -- and obvious [63] _________ to humanity if it were to occur. But I also figured researchers must have good reasons not to be worried about human [64] _________ risk (x-risk) from AI.Yet after 10 years in the field, I believe the main reasons are actually cultural and historical. By 2012, after several hype cycles that didn't pan out, most AI researchers had stopped asking 'what if we succeed at replicating human intelligence", [65] _________ their ambitions to specific tasks like autonomous driving.When concerns resurfaced outside their community, researchers were to quick to dismiss outsiders as [66] _________ and their worries as science fiction. But in my experience, AI researchers are themselves often ignorant of arguments for AI x-risk.One basic argument is by analogy: humans' [67] _________ abilities allowed us to out-compete other species for resources, leading to many extinctions. AI systems could likewise deprive us of the resources we need for our survival. Less [68] _________, AI could displace humans economically and, through its powers of manipulation, politically.But wouldn't it be humans wielding AIs as tools who end up in control? Not necessarily. Many people might choose to deploy a system with a 99 per cent chance of making them phenomenally rich and powerful, even if it had a 1 per cent chance of [69] _________ their control and killing everyone.Because no safe experiment can definitively tell us whether an AI system will actually kill everyone, such concerns are often dismissed as unscientific. But this isn't an excuse for ignoring the risk. It just means society needs to reason about it in the same way as other complex social issues. Researchers also emphasize the difficulty of predicting when AI might [70] _________ human intelligence, but this is an argument for caution, not complacency.Attitudes are changing, but not quickly enough. AI x-risk is admittedly more [71] _________ than important social issues with present-day AI, like bias and misinformation, but the basic solution is the same: regulation. A robust public discussion is long overdue. By refusing to engage, some AI researchers are neglecting [72] _________ responsibilities and betraying public trust.Big tech sponsors AI ethics research when it doesn't hurt the bottom line. But it is also lobbying to exclude general-purpose AI from E. U. regulation. Concerned researchers recently called for a(n) [73]_________ in developing bigger AI models to allow society to catch up. Critics say this isn't politically realistic, but problems like AI x-risk won't [74] _________ just because they are politically inconvenient.This brings us to the ugliest reason researchers may dismiss AI x-risk: funding. Essentially every researcher (myself included) has received funding from big tech. At some point, society may stop believing reassurances from people with such strong conflicts of [75] _________ and conclude, as I have, that their dismissal betrays wishful thinking rather than good counterarguments.61.

A. interest B. religion C. taste D. law(B)One of the first things that happens when you publicly declare yourself a feminist is that you start getting asked a lot of questions. If you're anything like me, these probes into your [76] _________ beliefs will leave you a mumbling mess. I have read enough books and academic essays on feminism to [77] _________ a fairly substantial library, and yet as soon as I'm asked to sum it up I started sweating and string together a few [78] _________ sentences before loudly shouting 'because Beyonce' and running to get another drink.To save you from this [79] _________ fate I have put together a collection of the feminist comebacks I wish I'd thought of in the moment. Rip out this page, keep it in your pocket and whip it out next time you're stuck with a drunk man at a party. Because it will come into [80] _________.WHAT EVEN IS 'FEMINISM?'Great question! It's actually something I'm really passionate about. Feminism is a centuries-old social movement fighting for the [81] _________ of the sexes. Inter-sectional feminists believe that all people are [82] _________ to the same rights, and they fight to end all discrimination based on gender, sexual orientation, skin colour, ethnicity, religion or lifestyle.THIS FEMINISM IS POLITICAL [83] _________ GOND MAD! CAN'T YOU TAKE A JOKE?...at question! Thanks for checking! You're mistaken. I love jokes. I've got one for you ...Knock, knock!Who's there?Annie.Annie who?Annie thing you can do I can do for 18.4% less pay!Ha, ha, ha. But, jokes aside, political correctness gets a bad rap(恶评), but all it really [84]_________ is minority groups asking that they not feel marginalized and hurt by everyday conversation or the media. I love comedy - in fact it is one of my favourite things. But I'm afraid that jokes that offend women, people of colour, disabled people, trans people or others in the LGBTQ community just aren't [85] _________ to me at all. Let's chat when you come up with some better material, preferably something that doesn't offend my friends!I'M A MAN AND SOMETIMES I FEEL LIKE ALL THIS FEMINISM IS MAN-HATING. CAN MEN BE FEMINISTS?Great questions! I'm sorry that a(n) [86] _________ of the feminist movement in the mainstream media has led you to feel this way. Of course men can be feminists.The sad fact is that we've all been socialized from birth to accept sexism as a part of life and, as a result, women can actually be just as [87] _________ as men. Institutionalized sexism hurts men as well as women. It tells men that they aren't allowed to show [88] _________, that they have to be successful and powerful in order to succeed, and that they aren't allowed to like the colour pink!Feminism is the fight to [89] _________ all these things and also to ensure that women are given fundamental human rights like education and reproductive freedom. Feminists truly believe that if we lived in a world without gender-based oppression, we'd all be so much happier. So even if you're only joining for purely [90] _________ reasons, we'd love to have you as a part of the gang!Quoted from Scarlett Curtis' Feminists Don't Wear Pink and Other Lies76.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Harry woke at five o'clock the next morning and was too excited and nervous to go back to sleep. He got up and pulled on his jeans because he didn't want to walk into the station in his wizard's robes - he'd change on the train. He checked his Hogwarts list again to make sure he had everything he needed, saw that Hedwig was safely shut in her cage and paced the room, waiting for the Dursleys to get up. Two hours later, Harry's huge, heavy truck had been loaded into the Dursley's car, Aunt Petunia had talked Dudley into sitting next to Harry and they had set off.They reached Kind's Cross at half past ten. Uncle Vernon dumped Harry's trunk on to a trolley and wheeling it into the station for him. Harry thought this was strangely kind until Uncle Vernon stopped dead, facing the platforms with a nasty grin on his face.'Well, there you are, boy. Platform nine -- platform ten. Your platform should be somewhere in the middle, but they don't seem to have built it yet, do they?'He was quite right, of course. There was a big plastic number nine over one platform and a big plastic number ten over the one next to it, and in the middle, nothing at all.'Have a good term,' said Uncle Vernon with an even nastier smile. He left without another word. Harry turned and saw the Dursleys drive away. All three of them were laughing. Harry's mouth wentrather dry. What on earth was he going to do? He was starting to attract a lot of funny looks, because of Hedwig. He'd have to ask someone.He stopped a passing guard, but didn't dare mention platform nine and three-quarters. The guard had never heard of Hogwarts and when Harry couldn't even tell him what part of the country it was in, he started to get annoyed, as though Harry was being stupid on purpose. Getting desperate, Harry asked for the train that left at eleven o'clock, but the guard said there wasn't one. In the end the guard strode away, muttering about time-wasters. Harry was now trying hard not to panic. According to the large clock over the arrival boards, he had ten minutes left to get on the train to Hogwarts and he had no idea how to do it; he was stranded in the middle of a station with a trunk he could hardly lift, a pocket full of wizard money and a large owl.Hagrid must have forgotten to tell him something you had to do, liking tapping the third brick on the left to get into Diagon Alley. He wondered if he should get out his wand and start tapping the ticket box between platforms nine and ten.Quoted from JK. Rowling's Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone91. Harry woke up so early in the morning probably because he _________.A. wanted to try on his new jeansB. needed to put Hedwig back in her cageC. was asked to get prepared beforehandD. looked forward to his new life of Hogwarts92. The word "panic" in the last but one paragraph might mean "_________".A. rageB. fearC. regretD. complain93. What can be inferred from the passage?A. Uncle Vernon had always treated Harry kindly and cared very much for him.B. Harry arrived at the train station an hour before the scheduled departure time.C. The Dursleys were happy to get rid of Harry and see him stuck in embarrassment.D. Harry completely forgot how to find the way to Platform nine and three-quarters.(B)Have you ever heard someone describe themselves an an INTJ or an ESTP and wondered what those cryptic-sounding letters could mean? What these people are referring to is their personality type based on the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI).The Myers-Briggs Personality Type Indicator is a self-report inventory designed to identify aperson's personality type, strengths, and preferences. The questionnaire was developed by Isabel Myers and her mother Katherine Briggs based on their work with Carl Jung's theory of personality types. Today, the MBTI inventory is one of the most widely used psychological instruments in the world.Based on the answers to the questions, people are identified as having one of 16 personality types. No one personality type is "best" or "better" than another. It isn't a tool designed to look for dysfunction or abnormality. Instead, its goal is to allow people to further explore and understand their own personalities including their strengths, weaknesses, possible career preferences, and compatibility with other people. The questionnaire itself is made up of four different scales.1. Are you outwardly or inwardly focused? Extraversion / IntroversionExtroverts are energized by people, enjoy a variety of masks, a quick pace, and good at multitasking while introverts often like working alone or in small groups, prefer a more deliberate pace, and like to focus on one task at a time.2. How do you prefer to take in information? Sensing / IntuitionSensors are realistic people who like to focus on the facts and details, and apply common sense and past experience to figure out practical solutions to problems while intuitives prefer to focus on possibilities and the big picture, easily see patterns and dseek creative solutions to problem.3. How do you prefer to make decision? Thinking / FeelingThinkers tend to make decisions using logical analysis, objectively weigh pros and cons, and value honesty, consistency, and fairness while feelers tend to be sensitive and cooperative, and decide based on their own personal values and how others will be affected by their actions.4. How do you prefer to live your outer life? Judging / PerceivingJudgers tend to be organized prepared, like to make and stick to plans, and are comfortable following most rules while perceivers prefer to keep their options open, like to be able to act spontaneously, and like to be flexible with making plans.94. The purpose of MBTI is to help people _________ .A. better understand their unique featuresB. find a topic to socialize with othersC. easily put themselves in a fixed categoryD. self-diagnose mental health issues95. According to the passage, we can infer that _________.A. Carl Jung is the co-founder of MBTI testB. MBTI can be used in career planningC. Some personality types are better than othersD. introverts may feel boosted at a party96. Suppose Eric is an ISFP, his ideal occupation might be a(n) _________.A. entrepreneurB. accountantC. programmerD. writer97. This passage might be taken from a _________.A. psychology textbookB. popular magazineC. news releaseD. business report(C)We all know the importance of education. Everyone aspires to have a good one, but its quality and availability is not the same for all. This situation changes as social, economic and political conditions change and technological development provides new benefits and threats.The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), which promotes policies that will improve the economic and social well-being of people around the world, has been looking at the future of global education. Its head of education, Andreas Schleicher, has been talking about some major international trends affecting education systems around the world.One threat is the widening wealth gap, with more intense pockets of extreme privilege and deprivation. In OECD countries, the richest 10% have incomes 10 times greater than the poorest 10%. This inequality is a challenge for schools aimed to offer everyone equal access to education.Another trend is the rising affluence in Asia. It's suggested that a large rise in the middle-classes in China and India will increase demand for university places. Andreas Schleicher asks the question "What values will these newly wealthy consumers want from their schools?"Increasing migration will also have an impact on education systems. Mobility results in more culturally diverse students eager to learn and develop a good life for themselves. But that can be a challenge, too, as Andreas Schleicher asks: "How should schools support pupils arriving from around the world? Will schools have a bigger role in teaching about shared values?"Funding pressure is another issue: as our demand and expectation for education rises and more people go to university, who's going to pay for it all? The rise in dependency on technology is another concern. What should students learn when many of their talents can be replicated by machines? And how reliant should we be on learning from the internet?These are just some of the issues the OECD is highlighting. But they remain irrelevant for hundreds of millions of the world's poorest children who don't even have access to school places or receive such low-quality education that they leave without the most basic literacy or numeracy.。

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. For example, when I was younger, my cousin always wanted my golden hair, and I wanted dark hair like hers.Text 3W: Hi, are there any tickets left for tonight’s concertM: Sorry, they’re sold out. But I can put you on the waiting list, in case there are any cancellations tonight. Would you like me to do thatW: Oh, yes, please. Let me give you my phone number.Text 4M: Oh, this is so annoying! We’ve been driving around for ages, and I haven’t seen a single space.W: There’s a street party going on in town today. That’s probably why it’s busy. Let’s try the supermarket... You can park there for free as long as you buy something.Text 5W: So, tell me a little bit about the character you played in your new film Last Weekend.M: Well, Jake is a sort of the ‘everyman’ character. He doesn’t have any special talents. In fact, he lives a pretty boring life, until his old friend Maggie returns to town...Text 6M: Can I borrow your phone for a second Mine is dead, and I can’t find my charger.W: Sure.M: Thanks. Hey, what’s wrong with your screen It’s all dark and the colors look strange.W: Oh! I’ve been using an app called “Sunset” to help me sleep at night.M: Really HowW: Well, studies show that too much blue light from screens can make sleeping difficult. So, in the evenings, the app puts a red filter (滤光器) over the screen to cancel it out.M: Oh, interesting. Does it helpW: Yeah, I think so! I also listen to white noise, which helps me fall asleep too.Text 7M: Can we do something about the temperature in here I have so many emails to deal with today, but my hands are so cold that I can hardly type my report!W: I know. I’ve been struggling too. But the heat probably won’t be turned on until the end of the month.M: Why notW: It’s a part of the company’s plans to save energy.M: Well, I can understand that. But how are we supposed to work in these conditionsW: I guess we always have the choice to work from home.M: True. But before my youngest daughter starts school, it’s just too difficult for me to do that. I wouldn’t be able to focus.W: Then I think we should talk to the boss about what can be done, otherwise people will start getting ill.Text 8W: Well, here we are! I can’t wait to get inside and see what’s on offer!M: I heard this year’s Mini Fair is going to be even bigger and better than last year’s. It won’t disappoint us.W: Oh really I had to go to a boring work event at that time, so I couldn’t come last year.M: Yes! I got so many things for my model train set.W: Like whatM: Well, the coolest things I got were some tiny little trees. They looked so real.W: Wow!M: I’m hoping t he guy who sells them is here again this year.W: I hope so! Now that I’m satisfied with the inside part of my dolls’ house, I want to focus on creating the garden. So, it would be great to get some little plants and trees. What about youM: I want some little model cars and people to add to my train station scene. But I need to find a toilet first.W: Over there, by the restaurant hall.M: Great. Meet you in five minutes, by the ticket desk.Text 9W: Hi, are you here for the tourM: Yes, I’m Michael Green. Are you the head girlW: That’s right. I’m Jayne Palmer. You look a bit older than the kids I usually show around the school!M: Ha-ha! Yeah, I’ll be sixteen next month.W: My birthday is in October, too!M: ReallyW: Yeah! So, why are you changing schoolsM: Well, my mom got a new job in this area, so we’re moving here. I’ve heard good things about this place.W: Well, as you can see, we have some great facilities... Here are the basketball courts. Then just behind them, you’ll see the football field and the running track. And that building over there is our swimming pool.M: Wow! There wasn’t room for anything like this at my previous school. I was on the swimming team, but we had to travel to use the city pool for our practices.W: Well, we’ve certainly got plenty of space. The arts teaching here is also excellent. We have a music studio and our own theater. M: Amazing!W: So, where would you like to go firstM: Well, I’m quite interested to see the science facilities. I’m hoping for a career in medicine.W: Okay, great! Well, the laboratories have all been updatedrecently, so we’ve got some really good equipment. Follow me. 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。

Sadly, the doctor laid the lifeless body on the bed and then his grandmother held his body close and began whispering in his ear.

He was raised the 10th out of 12 children by his widowed (寡妇的) mother during The Great Depression. At 7 he was already helping to support his family by selling their vegetables and milk. When he was 20, he married a woman called Jean. In order to support his new family, he quit school and sold pots and pans.Life as a salesman was unpredictable and so for years, the couple struggled financially. Sometimes he could only afford a few gallons of gas, so wherever his car rolled to a stop was where he would start working door-to-door. But he maintained a positive attitude about everything.Refusing to accept defeat, he began travelling to churches, schools and clubs, sharing lessons about the power of positive thinking. When the company he worked for broke up, he turned to full-time motivational speaking, helping countless people achieve their dreams.By 1975 he had written See you at the top, a book of his most inspiring thoughts and stories. It was rejected by 30 different publishers before it was finally printed. It has now sold more than2 million copies worldwide.Zig Ziglar passed away in 2012, two days after celebrating his 66th wedding anniversary.

Energetic and generous.CA herd of 15 Asian elephants has been making its way North across China since March 2020, and nobody is quite sure why.The herd has covered more than 500 kilometers since they wandered out of their home in the Xishuangbanna National Nature Reserve, located in southwestern China along its border with Laos and Myanmar. Authorities in China have tried to keep the animals away from populated areas with piles of fruit and vegetables and physical barriers. The herd was spotted last week on the outskirts (郊区) of Kunming.“One potential explanation for the elephant migration is overcrowding in the nature reserve these animals once called home,” says George, an elephant specialist at Colorado State University. Asian elephants are endangered, only around 300 surviving in China, but the population living in the reserves of the Xishuangbanna region has been growing in recent years. George says this wayward (任性的) group might have set out to find a new home with less competition for resources.“We’ve seen elephants expanding their range for decades now, as their populations increase, and they search for more food for the growing herd,” says Becky Chen, a conservation scientist at the Zoological Society of London who has studied elephant-human interactions. Other experts wonder if this is an example of a herd being misled by an inexperienced leader, or if the decision to roam was an almost random choice.Authorities have instructed residents along the route to stay inside if the elephants are nearby and avoid disturbing the herd. If the animals can’t be turned backto their former forested home, scientists and land managers may need to make provisions (准备) for the elephants to live permanently in Kunming.Chen says she hopes the situation will raise awareness of human-elephant conflict and elephant conservation. “What we have to learn is not how to solve the problem, but how to increase tolerance,” she says. “How can we use this event to let everybody pay attention to coexistence between people and animals?”8. Which is the possible reason for elephant migration?A. The population of people.B. Inhabitant loss.C. Annual migration.D. An act of a misleading head.9. What does the underlined word “roam” in paragraph 4 mean?A. Settle.B. Wander.C. Leave.D. Accompany.10. What may Chen agree with?A. It takes long to live in harmony with animals.B. It is important to reflect on how to live with animals.C. The increasing elephants threaten human’s settlement.D. The endangered elephants migrate due to human development.11. Which section does the story most likely come from in a newspaper?A. Nature.B. Health.C. Entertainment.D. Life.DIf electric bikes haven’t caught your attention yet, here’s one that might. Okapi, a Boston-based start-up, is producing a unique e-bike that bridges the gap between motorcycles and ordinary bikes.These aren’t normal bikes. If the futuristic appearance doesn’t give them away, the specs (规格) will: Okapi’s bikes have an all-electric range of up to 40 miles and a top speed of around 30 mph. Those aren’t crazy numbers, but they are more than adequate for an ordinary bike. The company’s selling its bikes for just under $3,000. That’s in line with other e-bikes’ pricing, but Okapi’s bikes look more appealing thanthe others, which try (with varying degrees of success) to look like normal bicycles.The bikes’ full suspension, hidden storage, and 1,000-watt motor all add up to a fun ride. Okapi’s design appears to be stronger and more able to handle the bumps (碰撞) than many other electric bikes, some of which appear to be modeled after old models. The main downside to Okapi’s design is that it supports a maximum of 280 pounds, which may stop some riders enjoying the bike.Okapi’s approach to the e-bike is a little different from others’. While more than one company tries to hide their electric powertrain (动力系统) underneath slim bodywork, Okapi puts it all out for the world to see in a big, square battery pack. There’s almost a futuristic dirt bike look to the bike, which is less awkward than it sounds.Electric bikes are getting cheaper, almost every day, but Okapi’s product charges a high price: The Starter Edition bike costs $2,989.98. The good news is that Okapi’s bike looks better and stronger than many offerings on the market today.Though they’re not the most mainstream product out there, e-bikes are worth the coin at almost any price. If you’re considering buying an electric bike, do it. E-bikes absolutely offer you an enjoyable and exciting experience, even on the cheaper end.12. What do we know about Okapi’s new bike?A. Its look is normal.B. Its speed is steady.C. It has a lower price.D. It has a limited load.13. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 4 refer to?A. The battery pack.B. Slim bodywork.C. The electric powertrain.D. Okapi’s approach.14. What is the author’s attitude toward e-bikes?A. Objective.B. Unclear.C. Conservative.D. Supportive.15. Which of the following could be the best title for the text?A. E-bikes: Cooler than You ThinkB. E-bikes: a Future Leader of BikesC. E-bikes: a Better Replacement for CarsD. E-bikes: a Mainstream Way of Transportation第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

If the project is completed,the world's longest tunnel will appear..C.You can't reach Taiwan from the mainland directly at present.D.The starting point of the proposed tunnel is in Fujian.39.What is the possible difficulty in carrying out the plan?A.The 1ack of money for the project from the government.B.Improving the relationship between Taiwan and the mainland.C.The detailed plans for the tunnel.D.The technical problems with the tunnel.B. “Soon, you’re going to have to move out!” cried my neighbor upon seeing the largest tomatoplant known to mankind, or at least known in my neighborhood.One tiny 9-inch plant, bought for $1.25 in the spring, has already taken over much of my rose bed, covering much of other plants, and is well on its way to the front door.Roses require a good deal of care, and if it weren’t for the pleasure they give, it wouldn’t be worth the work. As it is, I have a garden full of sweet-smelling roses for most of the year. bushes must be pruned(剪枝) in early spring, leaving ugly woody branches until the new growth appears a few weeks later. It was the space available(可用的) in the garden that led me into planting just one little tomato plant. A big mistake.Soil conditions made just perfect for roses turn out to be even more perfect for tomatoes. The daily watering coupled with full sun and regular fertilizing(施肥) have turned the little plant into a tall bush. The cage I placed around it as the plant grew has long since disappeared under the thick leaves.Now the task I face in harvesting the fruit is twofold; First, I have to find the red ones among the leaves, which means I almost have to stand on my head, and once found I have to reach down and under, pick the tomatoes and withdraw(缩回) my full fist without dropping the prize so dearly won. I found two full-blown white roses completely hidden as I picked tomatoes in June, but they were weak and the leaves already yellow for lack of light.Here I am faced with a painful small decision: To tear up a wonderful and productive tomato plant that offers up between ten and twenty ripe sweet tomatoes each day or say goodbye to several expensive and treasured roses. Like Scarlett in Gone With the Wind, I’ll think about that tomorrow.40.What ate the requirements for the healthy growth of roses ?A.A lot of care and the right soil.B.Frequent pruning and fertilizing.C.Tomato plants grown alongside.D.Cages placed around the roots.41.The writer planted the tomato because _________.A.it cost only $1.25B.the soil was just right for itC.there was room for it in the gardenD.the ro ses’ branches needed to be covered42.This year the writer’s roses were __________.A.removed from the rose bedB.picked along with the tomatoesC.mostly damaged by too much sunlightD.largely hidden under the tomato plant43.By saying “the prize so dearly won” in paragraph 5, the writer wants to ________.A.show the difficulty in picking the tomatoesB.show the hardship of growing the rosesC.express her liking for the rosesD.express her care for the tomatoes44.In the situation described in the text, one good thing is that ________.A.the roses cost the writer little moneyB.the writer has a daily harvest of tomatoesC.someone will help the writer make the decisionD.the writer can now enjoy both the roses and tomatoesCThe “Bystander Apathy Effect” was first studied by researchers in New York after neighbours ignored—and in some cases turned up the volume on their TVs—the cries of a woman as she was murdered(over a half-hour period). With regard to helping those in difficulty generally, they found that:(1) women are helped more than men;(2) men help more than women;(3) attractive women are helped more than unattractive women.Other factors relate to the number of people in the area, whether the person is thought to be in trouble through their own fault, and whether a person sees himself as being able to help. According to Adrian Furnham, Professor 0f University College, London, there are three reasons why we tend to stand by doing nothing:(1) “Shifting of responsibility”一the more people there are, the less likely help is to be given. Each person excuses himself by thinking someone else will help, so that the more “other people’ there are, the greater the total shifting of responsibility.(2) “'Fear of making a mistake'’一situations are often not clear. People think that those involved in an accident may know each other or it may be a joke, so a fear of embarrassment makes them keep themselves to themselves.(3) “Fear of the consequences if attention is turned on you, and the person is violent.”Laurie Taylor, Professor of Sociology at London University, says: “In the exper iments I’veseen on intervention(介入), much depends on the neighborhood or setting. There is a silence on public transport which is hard to break. We are embarrassed to draw attention to something that is happening, while in a football match, people get involved, and a fight would easily follo w. ” Psychotherapist Alan Dupuy identifies the importance of the individual: “The British as a whole have some difficulty intervening, but there are exceptional individuals in every group who are prepared to intervene, regardless of their own safety: These would be people with a strong moral code or religious ideals.”45. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. Pretty women are more likely to be helped.B. People on a bus are more likely to stop a crime.C. Religious people are more likely to look on.D. Criminals are more likely to harml women.46. Which phenomenon call be described as the “Bystander Apathy Effect”?A. When one is in trouble, people think it’s his own fault.B. In a football match, people get involved in a fight.C. Seeing a murder, people feel sorry that it should have happened.D. On hearing a cry for help, people keep themselves to themselves.47. The author wrote this article ______.A. to explain why bystanders behave as they doB. to urge people to stand out when in needC. to criticize the selfishness of bystandersD. to analyze the weakness of human natureDAbout 90 percent of Chinese believe the polarization(分化) between the rich and poor is “serious”in China, according to a survey conducted by China Youth Daily. And more than 80 percent of the respondents(对象) surveyed said something must be done to narrow the expanding gap between the rich and poor, while 14.1 percent said it was necessary.The polarization has aroused wide concern among the public in recent years. The State Development and Reform Commission(国家) said the Gini Coefficient had reached 0.47 for China, up from o.29 two decades ago. Usually, a country with a number above 0.4 is warned to pay attention to the income inequality problem.To find out the people’s view, the survey covered 10,250 respondents, between the ages of 20 and 30 with a college education and a monthly salary between 1,000 and 3,000 yuan. Surprisingly, most disagreed with the view of experts who claim the urban-rural difference is causing the widening gap. More than 70 percent of the respondents believed that “ the group of special interests”is the prime reason for the polarization, followed by “people in power”68 percent, and “bosses” 50 percent.Another unexpected finding is that almost all agreed that a good educational background and knowledge were not the decisive factors in gaining wealth. About 95 percent said rich people are not necessarily those who are able to speak English or have a college education.Today in China, rich people , accounting for 10 percent of the population, control 45 percent of the total social fortune, and poor people, also 10 percent of the population, only control 1.5 percent, according to an investigation published by the National Bureau of Statistics last June.48. It can be inferred that the Gini Coefficient ( in paragraph 2) would probably be ________.A. the unit used in advanced mathematicsB. the degree of a country’s developmentC. the level of the citizen’s living standardD. a measure of income inequality49. Experts hold the view that the main reason for the polarization is ________.A. the urban-rural differenceB. the group of special interestsC. the people in powerD. the bosses50. Which of the following can show the correct proportion of the social fortune amongpopulation?51. What’s the best title of the passage?A. Close the Gap between the Rich and PoorB. Surveys conducted by Chins Youth DailyC. Higher education, Higher payD. Rich-Poor Divide Serious, Study FindsEVisitors from space may have landed on our planet dozens, even hundreds of times during the long, empty ages while Man was still a dream of the distant future. Indeed, they could have landed on 90% of the earth as recently as two or three hundred years ago, and we could never have heard of it. If one searches through old newspapers and local records, one can find many reports of strange incidents that could be interpreted(解释) as visits from outer space. A winter, Charles Fort, had made a collection of UFO sightings in his book. One is tempted(引诱) to believe them more than any modern reports, for the simple reason that they happened long before anyone had ever thought of space travel. Yet at the same time, one can’t take them too seriously, for before scientific education was widespread, even sightings of meteors(流星) and comets(慧星) gave rise to the most unbelievable stories, as they still do today.52. According to the passage visitors from space may have landed on the earth _____.A. long before man had dreamed of itB. long before there were human beingsC. in the last few hundred yearsD. after the space age began53. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?A. All observations of UFO’s are believableB. Charles Fort sighted a lot of UFO’s himselfC. Older civilization(文明) may exist on other planetsD. People have seen visitors from other planets everywhere54. If visitors from other planets have actually landed on the earth, one can suppose that theycame to _____.A. make warB. communicateC. settle downD. explore55.he passage implies that the space age has _____.A. made the reported sightings unbelievableB. increased the number of UFO sightingsC. allowed more scientific study of UFO’sD. given clearer pictures of UFO’s四、短文改错(共10小题,每小题1分)五、书面表达(共1题,每小题25分)假如你参加全国中学生英语夏令营。

高二上学期英语第二次月考考试试卷一、阅读理解1. 根据短文理解,选择正确答案。
Whether in the home or the workplace, social robots are going to become a lot more common in the next few years. Social robots are about to bring technology to the everyday world in a more humanized way, said Cynthia Breazeal, chief scientist at the robot company Jibo.While household robots today do the normal housework, social robots will be much more like companions than mere tools. For example, these robots will be able to distinguish when someone is happy or sad. This allows them to respond more appropriately to the user.The Jibo robot, arranged to ship later this year, is designed to be a personalized assistant. You can talk to the robot, ask it questions, and make requests for it to perform different tasks. The robot doesn’t just deliver general answers to questions; it responds based on what it learns about each individual in the household. It can do things such as reminding an elderly family member to take medicine or taking family photos.Social robots are not just finding their way into the home. They have potential applications in everything from education to health care and are already finding their way into some of these spaces.Fellow Robots is one company bringing social robots to the market. Thecompany’s “Oshbot” robot is built to assist customers in a store, which can help the customers find items and help guide them to the product’s location in the store. It can also speak different languages and make recommendations for different items based on what the customer is shopping for.The more interaction the robot has with humans, the more it learns. But Oshbot, like other social robots, is not intended to replace workers, but to work alongside other employees. “We have technologies to train social robots to do things not for us, but with us,” said Breazeal.(1)How are social robots different from household robots?A . They are more like humans.B . They can control their emotions.C . They do the normal housework.D . They respond to users more slowly.(2)What can a Jibo robot do according to Paragraph 3?A . Communicate with you and perform operations.B . Obey your orders and remind you to take medicine.C . Answer your questions and make requests.D . Take your family pictures and deliver milk.(3)What can Oshbot work as?A . A language teacher.B . A tour guide.C . A private nurse.D . A shop assistant.(4)We can learn from the last paragraph that social robots will ________.A . improve technologiesB . train employeesC . be our workmatesD . take the place of workers(5)What does the passage mainly present?A . An introduction to social robots.B . Marketing strategies for socialrobots.C . A new design idea of household robots.D . Information on household robots.2. 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、和D)中,选出最佳选项。
S tanding in front of the “Chilkoot Trailhead” sign for 15 minutes, I didn’t take one step. I was afraid of bears. That’s what was keeping me from walking the trail alone. I had hiked through black-bear country back home in Colorado, but now I was in Alaska, home to the fierce brown grizzly bear.Fortunately, a friendly couple arrived and asked me to take their picture. We started talking and soon were walking the trail together. I was relieved. Ron and Carol were from Alaska and they taught me how to stay safe in bear country.I had finally started my hike along the famous Chilkoot Trail, where more than 115 years ago, thousands of gold miners had walked. I was writing a book about the Klondike Gold Rush, and I wanted to follow in the footsteps of the miners to know what it was really like.Ron, Carol, and I walked through the forest. As I was looking around at the beautiful scenery in the forest, I tripped over a big tree root and injured my ankle . Fortunately, my ankle felt better in the morning, and we followed the trail. We went to bed early that night because the following day would be the toughest hike of all.At dawn, we started hiking up the steep , green valley. Icy glaciers covered the mountains above. Soon we were as high as the clouds and could see only 20 feet in front of us. Finally, we reached the top of the Chilkoot pass and saw aCanadian flag moving in the heavy wind. Hours later, we arrived at our campground.The following morning, my ankle was feeling fine, and my fear of bears had mostly disappeared. I said good-bye to Ron and Carol and walked alone for the next two days. Without seeing any bears the entire trip, I finally arrived at Bennett Lake. I rode the old train down to the town of Skagway and checked into my hotel.While relaxing in my comfortable bed in the hotel, I thought of the miners from the Klondike Gold Rush. When the miners reached Bennett Lake, they had to cut down trees, build boats, and travel 500 miles down dangerous rivers and lakes. Then, when they finally reached the goldfields, they had to start digging.(1)Why did the author stand in front of the “Chilkoot Trailhead” sign for 15 minutes?A . To wait for Ron and Carol.B . Because he felt nervous.C . Because he met a black bear.D . To take photos of the beautiful scenery.(2)The author hiked along the Chilkoot Trail to ________.A . find inspiration for his writingB . search Alaska for bearsC . enjoy the beauty of natureD . look for gold(3)When crossing the Chilkoot Trail, the author ________.A . got help from two local minersB . once tried to take a boat tripC . hurt himself by accidentD . was almost killed by a brown bear(4)What kind of feeling did the author mainly show in the last paragraph?A . Joy.B . Pity.C . Worry.D . Doubt.3. 根据短文理解,选择正确答案。
