Apart from me there are a few old ladies who have come to the court and a class of 14-15 year-olds with their teacher.9:05 Court starts. First case: Henry P.，47, divorced, charged with being drunk. He refused to leave a pub at closing time and caused a bit of damage when the police tried to arrest him. P. said he had had an argument with his boss and could not face going home to an empty flat.9:50 Mrs F., 72, shoplifting (店内偷窃). Apparently Mrs F. had stolen a frozen chicken, which she had hidden under her hat (At this the school children burst out laughing and even the judges have difficulty keeping a straight face). The chicken was so cold that she fell unconscious, otherwise she would probably not have been caught. Mrs F, in tears, says she had not eaten meat for three weeks. It turns out that, although she has the old - age pension, she does not know about other forms of support.10:30 Peter D., 19. D. stole, or rather “borrowed” a motorcycle, intending, he said, to give it back to the owner after trying it out.D.’s father is at sea and the mother is left to bring up fourchildren, of whom Peter is the eldest, by herself.11:00 Mrs A., 45, a doctor’s wife, president of a local ladies’ club, was caught leaving a fashion shop wearing two dresses, only one of which belonged to her. Admitting that she had wanted to steal the dress, she could not explain why.21. What did Henry P. do when he was caught?A. He damaged the pub.B. He attacked the police.C. He bothered other customers.D. He quarreled with his boss.22. How would the author feel about Mrs F.’s life?A. Active.B. Amusing.C. Pitiful.D. Ridiculous.23. Who had the unclear motivation for his/her crime?A. Henry P.B. Mrs F.C. PeterD. Mrs A.3.（8分）BThe full moon climbs over the eastern horizon (地平线) and hangs like a huge orange globe in the sky. A few hours later, themoon is overhead but seems to have changed. The huge orange globe has become a small silver disk. What has happened? Why has the orange color disappeared? Why does the moon seem so much smaller and farther away now that it is overhead?The moon appears orange on the horizon because we view it through the dust of the atmosphere. The overhead moon does not really shrink as it moves away from the horizon. Our eyes inform us that the overhead moon is farther away. But in this position the moon is actually closer to our eyes than when it is near the horizon.The change in size is a trick our eyes and minds play on us. When the moon is low in the sky, we can compare its size with familiar objects. It is easy to see that the moon is much larger than trees or buildings, for example. When the moon is high in the sky, however, it is hard to compare it with objects on earth. Compared to the vastness of the sky, the moon seems small. There is another reason why the moon seems to shrink. We are used to staring at objects straight ahead of us. When an object is difficult to see, our eyes have to try to focus on it. When we move our heads back to look up, we will try hard again. Looking at something from an unaccustomed position can fool you intobelieving an object is smaller or farther away than it is. However, scientists do not yet understand completely why the moon seems to shrink as it rises in the sky.24. What makes us puzzled when the moon is high in the sky?A. It looks different.B. It becomes large.C. Its color disappears.D. Its shape changes.25. What really happens when the moon floats farther away from the horizon?A. It turns orange.B. It comes nearer.C. It goes farther.D. It gets through dust.26. What does the author intend to suggest by mentioning trees and buildings in Para. 3?A. They are low on earth.B. They are large objects.C. They can affect our judgment.D. They can attract our attention.27. What can we infer from the text?A. The size of the moon often changes.B. We do not see the moon as it really is.C. The moon is beginning to shrink much.D. The moon is in fact a huge orange globe.4.（8分）CThe sun was slipping down through the trees and it was time to go home. Time was running out. His mother would look at him and she would know. She always knew. A hot tear ran down his cheek. She trusted him. This was the first year she had left him alone for three hours between school and the time she got home from work. She had to work to buy his clothes and to pay for their food and for a place to live. He remembered the nice way she said, “You are a little man now, Joy.” It made him sad when his mother’s words came back to him. She trusted him. Remembering this, he felt as if someone had stuck a sharp stick into his side. Her trust in him was all he could think about now. It drove everything else from his mind. “She trusted me.” He kept saying to himself. “She trusted me.” This was most important. Next to this, the pipe and its magic power meant nothing.Joy looked at the long shadows coming toward him. He now knew what he had to do. And he was in a hurry to get it done. When he took the pipe, he left the store with slow unsure steps.Now his feet were quick, decisive, taking him straight back to the store like an arrow. He was out of breath when he reached the store.Mr. Dow was just inside the door. The big man smiled. Joy wished he had not. Somehow, a bad friendly smile made it more difficult for Joy to do what he wanted to do. Joy was lost for a moment. His feet felt heavy. Suddenly, blindly, he held out the pipe. His voice struggled to come out from deep inside of the painful chest.“Mr. Dow,” he said at last, “I didn’t mean to take it.”“Thanks, Joy.” Mr. Dow said as he gently took the pipe from the boy’s hand. “How about staying around and helping me close up the shop?”Joy felt Mr. Dow’s big hand on his shoulder. And Joy felt his shoulders had become a little broader and stronger.28. What kind of a life did Joy and his mother live?A. A poor life.B. A new life.C. A happy life.D.A modem life.29. Why did Joy feel like being hurt by something sharp?A. He felt sorry for his mother.B. He couldn’t help thefamily.C. He had run away from school.D. He disappointed his mother’s expectations.30. What do we know about Mr. Dow’s smile to Joy?A. It’s broad.B. It’s warm.C. It’s false.D. It’s secret.31. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. An Interesting PipeB. A Powerful SmileC. Unconditional LoveD. Magic Trust5.（8分）DAmericans recognize that there is a past on which the present rests. But they have not developed their sense of the depth of time as much as this has been done in the Middle East and South Asia. The Arab looks back two to six thousand years for his own origins. History is used as the basis for almost any modem action. The chances are that an Arab won’ start a talk or a speech or analyze a problem without first developing the historical aspects of his subject. The American assumes that time has depths but he seldom stresses its importance of it.The American never questions the fact that time should be planned and future events should be fitted into a schedule. He thinks that people should look forward to the future and not talk too much on the past. His future is not very far ahead of him. Results must be obtained in the foreseeable future — one or two years or, at the most, five or ten. Promises to meet deadlines and appointments are taken very seriously. There is real punishment for being late and for not keeping commitments in time. The American thinks it is natural to calculate the value of time. To fail to do so is unthinkable. The American calculates how much time is required to do everything. “I’ll be there in ten minutes.” “It will take six months to finish that job.” “I was in the Army for four and a half years.”The Americans, like so many other people, also use time as a link that chains events together. If one event occurs on the heels of another, we will certainly try to find a causal relationship between them. If A is seen around the area of B's murder shortly after the crime has been committed we automatically form a connection between A and B. However, events which are separated by too much time are difficult for us to connect in our minds. This makes it almost impossible for us as a nation to engage (从事) in long-range planning.32. How do Americans see past time according to the first paragraph?A. It’s valueless.B. It’s limited.C. It reflects today.D. It helps start a talk.33. What does the underlined phrase “to do so” in paragraph 2 refer to?A. To calculate the value of the past.B. To plan a schedule for future events.C. To figure out the importance of time.D. To meet deadlines and appointments.34. When will Americans chain two events together?A. When common evidence is found.B. When the two events happen one by one.C. When A is found near the scene of B’s crime.D. When one event happens long after another.35. What does the author mainly want to tell Americans to do?A. See time further.B. Make a long-range plan.C. Remember the past time.D. Keep their commitments.三、阅读七选五（本题共计1小题，总分10分）6.（10分）In the villages of Mexico, as in some other parts of the world, shopping is a kind of game.

江苏省南京市雨花台中学2024-2025学年高二上学期10月月考英语试卷
江苏省南京市雨花台中学2024-2025学年高二上学期10月月考英语试卷一、阅读理解For the intrepid traveler seeking unique and off-the-beaten-path experiences, these four international tourist destinations offer a plethora of captivating sights and activities.Destination 1: Machu Picchu, PeruNestled high in the Andes Mountains, Machu Picchu is an archaeological wonder that has mystified and attracted scholars and adventurers alike. This ancient Incan citadel, often referred to as the “Lost City of the Incas,” is accessible only by a strenuous hike or a train ride through breathtaking landscapes. The ruins are replete with intricately carved stone structures, terraced fields, and sacred temples. The site’s mysterious history and stunning natural setting make it a must-visit destination for those with a penchant for exploration.Destination 2: Santorini, Greece Renowned for its dramatic cliffs, cobalt-blue domes, and mesmerizing sunsets, Santorini is a paradise for aesthetes and romantics. The island’s unique volcanic landscape offers a visual feast of multicolored cliffsides and crystal-clear waters. Wander through the charming white-washed villages of Oia and Fira, and savor the local cuisine, which includes fresh seafood and delicious Mediterranean delicacies. The island’s luxurious resorts and spas provide the perfect respite after a day of exploring.Destination 3: Kyoto, JapanAs the cultural heart of Japan, Kyoto is a city steeped in history and tradition. Home to numerous ancient temples, shrines, and gardens, Kyoto offers a glimpse into Japan’s rich cultural heritage. Visit the iconic Kinkaku-ji (Golden Pavilion), stroll through the serene Arashiyama Bamboo Grove, and experience a traditional tea ceremony. The city’s traditional crafts, such as silk weaving and pottery, are also a draw for tourists seeking a more immersive cultural experience.Destination 4: Prague, Czech RepublicWith its fairytale-like architecture, Prague is a city that seems to have stepped out of a storybook. The city’s Old Town Square is dominated by the Astronomical Clock, a medieval timepiece that is a marvel of engineering. Explore the narrow cobblestone streets and visit the many castles and palaces that dot the city. Prague’s vibrant nightlife and world-class cuisine makeit a popular destination for travelers from around the world.1．What makes Machu Picchu a must-visit destination?A．Its ancient lost city of the Incas.B．Its easy accessibility to all travellers.C．Its stone structures and sacred temples.D．Its unexplainable history and naturallandscape.2．What do Destination 2 and Destination 4 have in common?A．They are paradises for romantics.B．They provide delicious delicacies.C．They are dominated by engineering marvels.D．They offer a visual feast of crystal-clear waters.3．If you’re interested in history, you can choose to visit .A．Destination 1 and Destination 3B．Destination 2 and Destination 3C．Destination 2 and Destination 4D．Destination 1 and Destination 2A daughter complained to her father about her life and how things were so hard for her. She did not know if she was going to make it and wanted to give up. She was tired of fighting and struggling. It seemed as one problem was solved a new one arose.Her father, a cook, took her to the kitchen. He filled three pots with water and placed each on a high fire. Soon the pots came to a boil. In one he placed carrots, in the second he placed eggs, and in the last he placed ground coffee beans. He let them sit and boil, without saying a word.The daughter sucked her teeth and impatiently waited, wondering what he was doing. In about twenty minutes he turned off the burners. He fished the carrots out and placed them in a bowl. He pulled the eggs out and placed them in a bowl. Then he ladled the coffee out and placed it in a mug. Turning to her, he asked, “Darling, what do you see?”“Carrots, eggs, and coffee,” she replied.He brought her closer and asked her to feel the carrots. She did and noted that they were soft. He then asked her to take an egg and break it. After pulling off the shell, she observed the hard-boiled egg. Finally, he asked her to sip the coffee. She smiled, as she tasted its rich aroma.“What does it mean, father?” she humbly asked.He explained that each of them had faced the same adversity, boiling water, but each reacted differently. The carrot went in strong, hard, and unrelenting; but after being subjected to the boiling water, it became softened and weak. The egg had been fragile; its thin outer shell had protected its liquid interior; but after sitting through the boiling water, its inside became hardened.The ground coffee beans were unique, however; after they were in the boiling water, they had changed the water.“Which are you?” he asked his daughter.4．Why did the daughter complain to her father?A．Because she found life was extremely cruel to her.B．Because she found that she was at a loss in her life.C．Because she was tired of fighting and struggling with others.D．Because she doubted if she’d make it to addressing the boredom in life.5．What did the father take his daughter to the kitchen for?A．To boil three things for her.B．To explain to her what life is.C．To give her some inspiration.D．To carry out an experiment with her. 6．What can be inferred from the text?A．The father seemed to be in favor of the egg most.B．The carrot was likely to be the daughter’s favourite.C．The three things all stood the test of the boiling water.D．The ground coffee beans chose to affect their surroundings.7．What’s the best title for the text?A．A vivid lesson B．A best choiceC．A tough challenge D．A rough rideWhen driving, Clara-Marina Martinez makes a note of any unusual behaviour she sees on the road. She then feeds these into machine-learning algorithms (算法), a form of AI, which she is helping develop for Porsche Engineering.Those algorithms are intended to produce a system reliable enough for a car to drive itself. Such a fully autonomous car, known in the industry as Level 5, should be able to complete anentire journey without any intervention (介入) from the driver, and deal with all situations on the road. But this is proving hard to achieve, and many attempts to do so are being abandoned. Last year, for instance, Uber sold off its unit developing self-driving cars.Autonomous vehicles are said to be not just convenient but potentially safer. However, just as people take time to learn how to drive safely, so do machines. And machines are not quick learners. The RAND Corporation calculates that to develop a system 20% safer than a human driver, 100self-driving cars would have to operate 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.Carmakers such as Porsche therefore speed up the development process using simulators (模拟器). These teach software about dangers rarely encountered in reality. Dr Martinez and her colleagues employ “game engines” to do this. These are used to create virtual worlds through which the software can drive. Objects in these virtual worlds are assigned their physical characteristics (ie, buildings are hard, people are soft) so that the sensors in vehicles respond in the appropriate way. Once the software has been trained, it is tested in real autonomous vehicles by re-creating those situations on a test track.How quickly all this will translate into reality remains to be seen. Both regulators and customers will need to overcome the doubt that a software driver really can be safer than a human being.From Porsche’s point of view, though, there is another question. Given that much of the reason owning a sports car is for owners to show off their driving skills, just how big a market will there be for a version where software takes those bragging (炫耀的) rights away?8．Why does Clara-Marina Martinez note the unusual behaviour on the road?A．To market Porsche cars.B．To improve an AI technology.C．To learn to be a responsible driver.D．To enjoy riding in a self-driving car.9．The problem with self-driving cars is that .A．they learn as slowly as human beingsB．they operate for a very short period of timeC．they have to be monitored by human driversD．they need a long time to reach a certain safety level10．What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 4 refer to?A．Employing simulators on a test track.B．Speeding the development of process.C．Figuring out the physical road dangers.D．Separating the real world from the virtual world.11．What worries Porsche according to the last paragraph?A．The reliability of car software.B．The future of the sports car market.C．The driving skills of human beings.D．The quality of self-driving cars in the future.Studies have shown the mere exposure effect, also referred to as the familiarity principle, inspires our decisions. It is a helpful psychological mechanism that helps us sustain our energy and focus our attention on other things. Getting used to new things takes effort and it can be tiring. So unless we have a terrible experience, we are likely to buy from companies we’ve got used to. That is why companies spend so much money on advertising and marketing and why insurance (保险) companies openly charge existing customers more than new ones.It’s not the case that we only desire things we already know. Some studies suggest when invited to share our preferences, we sometimes see less familiar options as more desirable. But when acting on that preference, we fall back to what we know. This might explain why sometimes the things we want and the things we do don’t quite match up. We might even return to companies that treated us poorly in the past or stay in bad relationships.It’s easy to paint the familiarity principle as an enemy or something to battle as if it is something that holds us back from living our dreams. But this attitude might be overwhelming because it tends to encourage us toward big-picture thinking. Where we imagine that change requires a quite dramatic swing that we don’t feel ready for. Some articles suggest the solution to familiarity frustration (沮丧) is complete exposure to novelty. While this can appear effective in the short term, we may only end up replacing one problem with another. It also risks overwhelm and burnout.So what if we can work with the familiarity principle instead? Familiarity is something wecan learn to play with and enjoy. It is a setting for creativity and a pathway to expansion. We can broaden the zone of familiarity bit by bit. If we think of familiarity as something that can expand, we can consider changing the conditions in and around our lives to make more space for our preferences to take root and grow gently. From here, we will start to make decisions, drawing from an ever-deepening pool of valuable options.12．What allows insurance companies to charge old customers more?A．The advertising cost.B．The improved service.C．The familiarity principle.D．The principle of the market.13．We can learn from paragraph 2 that .A．Our preferences affect our decisionsB．Familiarity tends to generate disrespectC．The familiarity principle is a double-edged swordD．There can be a mismatch between desires and actions14．What is the author’s attitude towards the solution in some articles?A．Disapproving.B．Tolerant.C．Objective.D．Reserved. 15．Which of the following is the best title for the text?A．Step Out of Your Familiarity ZoneB．Spare a Thought for Your PreferenceC．Gently Expand Your Familiarity ZoneD．Give Priority to the Mere Exposure EffectEssential CreativityIn a recent survey in America, 62% of people said that creativity was more important to success in the workplace than they had expected it to be when they were in school.16 It is of course possible to scan people’s brains and see which parts are firing when an idea is created, but rather more romantically it can be thought of as something that cannot be identified. Creativity is what comes to you when you least expect it. You cannot demand creativity from your mind, nor can you demand that you are creative in a particular way.One misconception about creativity is that it is reserved for a few special people. This is not true. 17 Another misconception is that creativity is all about the arts but this simply isn’ttrue. 18It is incredibly important that schools do not prevent creativity. 19 Students should be taught to ask questions and investigate when things do not make sense. They need to learn to view mistakes as opportunities for learning rather than something that was unsuccessful. But now it is worrying that many schools are less concerned with nurturing creativity. However, without creativity, we are indistinguishable from the masses. 20 Meanwhile, we can also channel it to face the challenges of the future.A．We can use it to set ourselves apart.B．It’s difficult to define what creativity is.C．Everyone has the capacity to be creative.D．We can employ creativity to deal with the world.E．Rather, they should work to expand, grow, and exercise it.F．It’s hard to work out where exactly creativity comes from.G．Creativity extends to maths and science in just the way it does to music and literature.二、完形填空Atomic (原子的) shapes are so simple that they can’t be broken down any further. Mathematicians are trying to 21 artificial intelligence (AI) to build a “periodic table” (周期表) of these shapes.Tom Coates at Imperial College London and his colleagues are working to classify (分类) atomic shapes 22 as Fano varieties, which are so simple that they can’t be broken down into smaller 23 . Just as chemists arranged elements in the periodic table by their atomic weight and group to 24 new insights, the researchers hope that organizing these atomic shapes by their various 25 will help in understanding them.The team has assigned each atomic shape a sequence of numbers 26 its features such as the number of holes it has or the 27 to which it twists around itself. This acts as a bar code (条形码) to 28 it. Coates and his colleagues have now created an AI that can predict certain properties of these shapes from their bar code numbers alone, with an 29 of 98 percent.The team member Alexander Kasprzyk, who works at the University of Nottingham, UK, says that the AI has let the team organize atomic shapes in a way that begins to 30 the periodic table, 31 when you read from left to right, or up and down, there seem to be organized patterns in the geometry (几何) of the shapes.The team hopes to 32 the model to the point where missing spaces in its periodic table could point to the existence of unknown shapes, which could 33 benefit further study.Graham Niblo at the University of Southampton, UK, stresses that humans will still need to understand the results provided by the AI and creates proofs of these ideas. “AI has 34 got unbelievable abilities. But in the same way that telescopes (望远镜) don’t put astronomers out of work, AI doesn’t put mathematicians out of work,” he says. “It just gives us new 35 that allows us to explore parts of the mathematical landscape that are out of reach.”21．A．go about B．turn to C．break with D．throw in 22．A．rewarded B．encountered C．entitled D．diverged 23．A．components B．perspectives C．variations D．transformations 24．A．enhance B．estimate C．reveal D．guarantee 25．A．predictions B．properties C．arrangements D．allowances 26．A．trapped in B．compared to C．bent on D．based on 27．A．scale B．extent C．width D．dimension 28．A．identify B．grasp C．imply D．cast 29．A．concept B．impression C．essence D．accuracy 30．A．differ B．follow C．multiple D．claim31．A．as though B．even if C．so that D．now that 32．A．display B．expose C．distinguish D．improve 33．A．in turn B．in contrast C．by turns D．in return 34．A．critically B．definitely C．strikingly D．comprehensively 35．A．setting B．booming C．backing D．calling三、语法填空阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

江苏省重点高级中学2023-2024学年高二上学期10月考试英语试卷(含答案)
江苏省重点高级中学2023-2024学年高二上学期10月考试英语试卷（含答案）江苏省南菁高级中学高二英语10月考试卷I 阅读理解（每小题2.5分，共37.5分）ADubai's Museum of the Future, named as one of the 14 most beautiful museums on the planet in a list by National Geographic magazine this July, opened in February 2023. It promises visitors an immersive (沉浸式的) experience that uses technology to represent art and encourages guests to imagine what the future could be like.What are the exhibitions insideFive of the seven floors are main exhibition spaces, each designed to look like a futuristic film set. The museum takes visitors on a journey to the year 2071 and creates scenes of what the future could be like in topics such as outer space resource development, ecosystems and bioengineering, health, wellness and spirituality.How to get ticketsEntry to the museum costs Dh150, but is free for pre-school children, persons with disabilities and citizens aged 60 and over. Half price for students.The tickets are on sale on the museum's website www.motf.ae.General rules of the museum● Visitors are allowed to take photos and videos for personal use, except in the exhibitions that are labeled as the “special exhibition galleries”. Flash photography is not allowed.● Selfie (自拍) sticks are not permitted.● Guests can bring their own food that can be eaten in garden areas. No food or drink is allowed in any exhibition.● There are restrooms on each floor of the museum.● Free Wi-Fi is available.1. Which topic is covered in the exhibitions inside the museumA. Magazines.B. Film.C. Travelling.D. Fitness.2. How much should a young couple with a primary school kid pay for their ticketsA. Dh150.B. Dh300.C. Dh375.D.Dh450.3. What is forbidden in the museumA. Accessing the Internet of the museum.B. Having some bread in the garden areas.C. Taking selfies in the special exhibition galleriesD. Videoing the regular exhibition to share with friends.BThey talk about the straw that broke the camel’s back, but really it should be the password that wiped out my memory bank.I was going along fine with instant recall of my bank PIN (密码)，my mobile phone number and the date of my cousin's birthday before I downloaded a gas station payment app for its new customer discount. It asked me to create a password. When I typed in “gas 1”, it was rejected for not being complex enough. I tried again: “IHateHearlessOilCompanies@”. But that was too long and didn’t include “at least one number”. But here is the thing: as soon as I added the fresh password into my memory, I instantly forgot all the others. My brain had hit its limit for passwords. I now know nothing.I had entered some passwords in a notebook. Of course, I didn't write down the actual passwords, in case it fell into the wrong hands. Instead, I masked them in a way that only a family member could figure them out. For example, I combined my bank PIN with our postal code, then added it to a list of phone numbers. It would fool even Albert Einstein.Maybe we need a system like the one we use to remember people’s names. You know, you form an association between a person's characteristics and their name by whispering “Skinny George, Skinny George” in heart after meeting them. The risk is that, upon seeing him, you’ll burst out the phrase. “Skinny George” might not mind, but it's possible “Boring Betty” will. As for remembering passwords as you change them, you could simply use the first and last letters of your favorite singer's greatest hits, together with the year of their release.Maybe I’ll try that one out--but only after describing the system in the notebook. Then I'll hide it in a place so secret that I’ll never remember where it is.4. What can we learn about the author from the first two paragraphsA. He fell for a marketing trick.B. He was driven mad by passwords.C. He had a serious memory disorder.D. He was rejected by the gas station.5. By mentioning Albert Einstein in paragraph 3, the author intends to ______.A. show how secure his passwords wereB. challenge the intelligence of scientistsC. prove the uselessness of his passwordsD. promote a more scientific password system6. What is the author’s purpose in writing the textA. To encourage readers to use password notebooks.B. To recommend a password-remembering method.C. To complain about the trouble caused by passwords.D. To point out the importance of using complex passwords.7. What is the tone of the textA. Inspiring.B. Indifferent.C. Humorous.D. Serious.CNo one likes interruption. We are born to seek balance and order. No matter what it is that you are doing, being interrupted involves a forceful stop midway and then having to re-enter your previous state, sometimes with great difficulty.Popular belief has it that interruption breaks the flow of your thinking and affects productivity negatively, and so it is advisable that you have an uninterrupted session of intensive work before your next break. However, a Russian psychologist, Bluma Zeigarnik, might tell you otherwise.The connection between interruption and memory came to her attention when she was dining in a restaurant. She noticed how the waitresses had an amazing memory of the detailed orders yet to be paid for, but scarce memory of the orders that were already completed.Back in her laboratory, she conducted studies in which subjects were required to complete various puzzles. Some of the subjects were interrupted during the tasks. All the subjects were then asked to describe what tasks they had done. It turns out that adults remembered the interrupted tasks 90% better than the completed tasks, and that children were even more likely to recall the uncompleted tasks. In other words, uncompleted tasks will stay on your mind until you finish them!In comparison to tasks that were already finished and ones that we haven’t even started, half-done projects are given the priority in themental to-do list our brains sketch out for us. Zeigarnik described this finding in her doctoral thesis (论文) in the late 1920s, which was later called Zeigarnik effect.One possible explanation is that with interrupted tasks, we are desperate for their closure to reclaim a sense of balance. Finishing them also means that we can finally clear up the mental backlog (积压的工作) and give the space to more upcoming tasks.Zeigarnik’s effect can be found everywhere, especially used in media and advertising. Have you ever wondered why cliffhangers work so well or why you just can’t get yourself to stop watching that series on Netflix Ernest Hemingway once said about writing a novel, “It is the wait until the next day that is hard to get through.” So next time, when you are interrupted, appreciate it and take advantage of it to promote your productivity.What is a common practice to finish a taskA. Working in a focused period.B. Working with occasional breaks.C. Working with a stop midway.D. Working in an interrupted session. What is the finding of the Zeigarnik’s experimentA. Interruption recalls details.B. Interruption betters memory.C. Interruption disturbs balance.D. Interruption reduces productivity.10. Which of the following is an example of the application of Zeigarnik’s effectA. Fashion shows.B. Online news.C. Talk shows.D. TV series.11.What is the possible reason behind Zeigarnik’s effectA. The desire for balance.B. The physical backlog.C. The outside pressure.D. The upcoming tasks.DMosquitoes carry malaria (疟疾), which kills thousands of people each year. Now some researchers are trying to use genetic engineering to make the annoying insects into partners in the fight against the disease. For years, public health officials have tried to limit the disease by controlling mosquito populations. “But that approach is temporary,” says Anthony James, a professor of biology and genetics at the University of California, Irvine, “Because mosquitoes are extremely tough little insects, and their populations can quickly rebound.”Therefore, James and his colleagues want to try a different approach: making mosquitoes themselves into malaria-fighting warriors, which is a complete departure from traditional ways of controlling malaria.To understand how it works, it helps to understand the life cycle of malaria. The malaria pathogen (病原体) is a parasite (寄生虫) that grows inside humans. It’s passed via mosquitoes that move from person to person, sucking blood. “If we can make the mosquitoes difficult for the pathogens to survive, we can wipe out the disease,” he says. But makingmosquitoes uninviting to malaria is a tough job.To solve the problem, the team used a gene-editing technique called CRISPR. They started with genes from mice, whose immune systems do fight human malaria, engineered those genes, and then gave them to the mosquitoes.It turned out the malaria-fighting antibodies which gene-edited mosquitoes produced worked very well. They reduced the number of parasites in the mosquito before they were passed to a human host. James’ team are now working on planning a field trial, which he hopes could be conducted on an island or in another isolated location.But genetically changing wild animals does not sit well with environmentalists. “There’s no need to engineer a mosquito,” says Dana Perls, senior program manager for the emerging technology program at the non-profit Friends of the Earth. Perls points out that naturally occurring methods for reducing malaria appear to be showing promise, as does a new vaccine (疫苗) against the disease. “Why take unnecessary risks and release a species that can’t be recalled once it’s released into the wild ” she asks.What can we know from the second and third paragraphsMosquitoes reproduce quickly.Mosquitoes depart from malaria.Mosquitoes are malaria-fighting warriors.Mosquitoes’ populations are under control.According to the text, which of the following are attractive to the malaria pathogenMice. B. Parasites. C. Mosquitoes. D. Gene-edited mosquitoes. What is environmentalists’ attitude toward this new approach Tolerant. B. Favorable. C. Objective. D. Disapproving.What is the best title for the textLimiting Malaria by Controlling Mosquito PopulationsControlling Malaria by editing Mosquitoes’ genesCuring Malaria with Gene-edited MosquitoesPreventing Malaria with a new vaccineII 七选五（每小题2.5分，共12.5分）Does your cat or dog suddenly get a burst of energy and perform athletic features around the house Welcome to the world of zoomies—intense periods of high-energy activity including running, jumping and rolling. You might see post-bath zoomies, midnight zoomies and out of-nowhere zoomies. They have a lot in common with play. 16 If the zoomies are occurring as part of your animal’s regular play routine, this implies your animal is enjoying themselves. We don't yet know if zoomies are more likely to occur at certain times of the day, or more in some than others. 17Zoomies are mentioned a lot, but there is also little scientific research onwhat causes them, or how often they occur. Yet some conclusions can be drawn from experience. 18 In dogs, this is commonly a play bow- where the dog appears to “bow” to another to signal it is eager to play. In cats, an invitation may include repeatedly rolling over. If this is the case, your animal is likely experiencing excitement and a desire to interact with you.19 Context is key. You should consult with your vet (兽医) if your dog or cat is displaying the behaviour (in particular, circling) for too long. It might be a sign of a repetitive behaviour disorder. If you struggle to distract or stop the behaviour, or if it is resulting in injuries, seek professional assistance.Even if you don't get the call of the zoomies yourself, take a moment to enjoy and even join your dog or cat in having fun. 20A. Sometimes we all need to run wild.B. This makes zoomies a whole load of fun.C. It is our duty to figure out what they want exactly.D. Nothing is more annoying than a midnight zoomie.E. However, we do consider them evidence of a pretty good mood.F. Sometimes, however, zoomies may be a sign of a medical condition.G. In dogs and cat, zoomies can include an invitation for others to join.III 完形填空（每小题1分，共15分）Rebecka Peterson, a high school math teacher, is the nation’s 2023Teacher of the Year.

高二10月月考（英语）（考试总分：120 分）一、阅读理解（本题共计3小题，总分25分）1.（7.5分）AYoung people and older people don’t always agree. They sometimes have different ideas about living, working and playing. But in one special program in New York State, adults and teenagers live together in a friendly way.Each summer 200 teenagers and 50 adults live together for eight weeks as members of a special work group. Everyone works several hours each day. They do so not just to keep busy but to find meaning and enjoyment in work. Some teenagers work in the woods or on the farms near the village. Some learn to make things like tables and chairs and build houses. The adults teach them these skills.There are several free hours each day. Weekends are free, too. During the free hours, some of the teenagers learn photo taking or painting. Others sit around and talk or sing. Each teenager chooses his own way to spend his free time.When people live together, rules are necessary. In this program the teenagers and the adults make the rules together. If someone breaks a rule, the problem goes before the whole group. They talk about it and ask, “Why did it happen? What should we do about it?”One of the teenagers has this to say about his experience, “You stop thinking only about yourself, You learn to think about the group.”1. All the members work some time every day mainly to ______.A. lead a busy life.B. learn new skills of farming;C. get used to the life on the farmsD. find value and pleasure in work2.

When everybody was gone, he brought me to open a large box, it was a set of boxing gloves．We put them on．My dad kept on beating me mercilessly（无情地）．Each time I tried to get up,leather kissed my nose, eyes and jaw. I begged him to stop. He said he beat me to get me ready for the tough world.That same year, I was the only kid in my neighborhood that wasn’t picked for Little League. Two weeks later, Dad started the Shedd Park Minor League, and every kid played. Dad coached us and made me a pitcher（棒球投手）.The power of my dad’s love guaranteed I walked and more. In high school, I became a football star.In 1997, a brain surgeon in San Jose told me I didn’t have cerebral palsy after all. He explained how and where the doctor’s forceps（镊子）at birth had damaged my brain.My dad never knew the whole truth since he passed away years ago. But all that c ounts is the bottom line. After all his madness, on this Father’s Day, like every Father’s Day, I’m no longer disabled.4. What caused the author’s disability?A. A failed operation.B. The doctor’s forceps.C.

But that is not to say everyone spends the same amount (量) of time or effort on making their places tidy. A new survey by CIF-experts on making cleaning jobs easier shows that when it comes to washing windows or cleaning the oven (炉), where you live in the UK may show how much effort you put into the job.BATHROOM25% of men have never cleaned the toilet, but those in Wales are the worst. Nearly four in ten Welsh men said They never cleaned anywhere in the house. Hate cleaning the shower head? You are not alone - a quarter of a million British people say the same. 20% of Scottish people regard window-cleaning as their most hated job.KITCHEN36% of people in the southeast say cleaning the cooker is their hated task. 68% of those in the northeast spend more than six hours a week cleaning their homes, especially the kitchen. In sharp contrast (强烈的对比) to that, 49% of Welsh people put their hands up to cleaning for under an hour.BEDROOM18% believe cleamng starts here: the percentage of women who clean wearing their dressing gowns (a kind of clothes). 51% of women in the northwest may be staying in bed and giving their husbands a cuddle (拥抱) as a" thank you" for helping them clean. In other places, there are far fewer helpful men.LIVINGROOM32% of women in the northeast tum up the CD player to help make the cleaning more fun. Almost six in ten women agree, however, that cleaning is seriously energetic exercise.★SHIFT (除掉)' THE DIRT WITH CIF! *It's no secret that the right cleaning products will cut cleaning time and effort in half and no one knows that better than CIF. For all your cleaning needs, here are some of CIF s top tips:●Stop a lot of build-up on your shower head. Give it a quick squirt (喷) with CIF bathroom spray (喷剂) once a week.●Stainless steel (不锈钢) tools seem to need endless cleaning. The CIF Wild Orchid Oxy-Gel lifts dirt easily and leaves the kitchen smelling fresh and clean.●Cooking outside? CIF cream will get your barbecue (烧烤) completely clean, ready for those long, lazy summer evemngs. Perfect!8. The main purpose of this passage is to _______.A. tell us the results of a certain surveyB. advertise a certain cleaning productC. show us which is the hardest job at homeD. advise men to do more cleaning housework9. According to the survey, ______ spend the most time cleaning their homes.A. people in WalesB. people in the northwestC. people in the southeastD. people in the northeast10. CIF in the passage probably refers to ______.A. an organization doing research on houseworkB. some experts who give advice on doing houseworkC. a company providing advice and products on cleaningD. a TV show about providing cleaning products二、阅读七选五（本题共计1小题，总分10分）4.（10分）How did you learn how to ride your bike？Someone probably gave you a few lessons and then you practiced a lot．11 No one is born to know how to study．You need to learn a few study skills and then practice them．12 Do you have trouble paying attention in class？Are you sitting next to a loud person？Is it hard to see the board？Make sure you're sitting in a good seat that lets you pay attention．Tell your teacher or parents about any problems that are preventing you from paying attention and taking good notes．13 ．Waiting until Thursday night to study for Friday's test will make a homework night no fun! It also makes it hard to do your best．We're all guilty of putting things off sometimes．One of the best ways to make sure that doesn't happen is to plan ahead．Break it up! When there's a lot to study，it can help to break things into chunks（大块）．Let's say you have a test on 20 spelling words．Instead of thinking about all of the words at once，try breaking them down into a five-word chunks and working on one or two different chunks each night．Ask for help．You can't study effectively if you don't understand the material．14 You can check yourself by reading through your notes．Does it all make sense？If not，ask your teacher to go over it with you．Get a good night's sleep．So the test is tomorrow and you've followed your study plan-but suddenly you can't remember anything，not even 2+2! Don't worry．Your brain needs time to digest（消化）all the information you've given it．Try to get a good night's sleep．15A．Plan ahead for tests and projects．B．Study regularly instead of just the night before．C．You can learn how to study in much the same way．D．You'll be surprised by what comes back to you in the morning．E．If you're studying math or science，do some practice problems．F．Be sure to ask your teacher for help if you're confused about something．G．Good studying starts in class．三、完形填空（本题共计1小题，总分30分）5.（30分） I was a person who always felt desperate before.

As new powerful artificial intelligence tools like ChatGPT take the Internet by storm, teachers concerned with AI-driven cheating are questioning their teaching and assessment methods.ChatGPT, the most powerful AI language model ever developed by the company OpenAI, remembers the thread of your dialogue, using previous questions and answers to inform its next responses. Deriving its answers from huge volumes of information on the Internet, it is fine-tuned using both supervised and reinforcement learning. It is capable of generating natural-sounding text on demand in just a few seconds. The quality of the copy it produces is sufficient to impress teachers in secondary and higher education, and even researchers.The use of AI tools in copy-writing has sparked an outcry around the world. In the United States, public schools in New York and Seattle have decided to block ChatGPT from their devices and WiFi networks. In France, the prestigious Sciences Po university in Paris has also just announced a strict ban on its use. But experts question whether bans like these are really effective. On one hand, students will always be able to access tools like ChatGPT through other means than school devices. On the other hand, some question the relevance of blocking access to a digital tool whose use is likely to grow in the professional world in the coming years.Amelie Cordier, a lecturer in artificial intelligence at Lyon University, notes that students haven’t waited for ChatGPTto try to escape the chore of homework — whether by photocopying the library encyclopedia, copy-pasting content from Wikipedia or enlisting their parents’ help. “What is ultimately very important in the learning process is not so much the subject on which you learn, it’s the methodology that you learn to develop around that subject,” Cordier said.24. Why does the author raise a question in paragraph 1?A. To arouse the readers’ interest.B. To show the popularity of ChatGPT.C. To present the creativity of artificial intelligence.D. To reveal the negative effects of artificial intelligence.25. What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about ChatGPT?A. Its language model.B. Its working theory.C. Its design inspiration.D. Its development process.26. Which of the following is probably the reason for the experts’ question?A. Students can always employ AI tools in other ways.B. Teachers and researchers are impressed by ChatGPT.C. The bans have been announced only in the US and France.D. AI tools have already been widely applied in professional fields.27. What plays a critical role in learning according to Cordier?A. Parents’ help.B. The system of methods.C. The library encyclopedia.D. The content from Wikipedia.COne school night this month I quietly approached Alexander, my 15-year-old son, and patted him on the cheek in a manner I hoped would seem casual. Alex knew better, sensing by my touch, which remained just a moment too long, that I was sneaking (偷偷地做) a touch of the beard that had begun to grow near his ears. Suddenly he went stormily to his computer screen. That, and an angry look of his eyes, told me more forcefully than words: Mom, you are seen through!I realized I committed a silly behavior: not showing respect for my teenager’s personal space. “The average teenager has strong feelings about his privacy,” said two young women experts. Ms. Frankel and Ms. Fox, both 17, are the authors of Breaking the Code, a new book that seeks to bridge the generational divide between parents and adolescents. It is being promoted by its publisher as the first self-help guide by teenagers for their parents, a kind of Kids Are From Mars, Parents Are From Venus that de-mystifies the language and actions of teenagers.Personally, I welcomed insights into teenagers from any qualified experts, and that included the authors. The most common missteps in interacting with teenagers, they instructed me, result from the conflict between parents maintaining their right to know what goes on under their roof and teenagers striving to guard their privacy. When a child is younger, they write, every decision centers around the parents. But now, as Ms. Fox told me, “often your teenager is in this circle that doesn’t include you.”Ms. Fox and Ms. Frankel acknowledge that teenagers can be quick to interpret their parents’ remarks as negative or authoritative and respond with aggressiveness that masks their defenselessness. “What we want above all is your approval,” they write. “Don’t forget, no matter how much we act as if we don’t care what you say, we believe the things you say about us.”28. In the second paragraph, Kids Are From Mars, Parents Are From Venus is mentioned because ______.A. it disapproves of opinions in Breaking the CodeB. it shares the same theme with Breaking the CodeC. it employs the same language style as Breaking the CodeD. it ranks right after Breaking the Code among self-help guides29. With their book, Ms. Frankel and Ms. Fox ______.A. declare teenagers’ rightsB. remind parents of teenagers’ misstepsC. help parents know teenagers betterD. arouse much disagreement from the public30. What often leads to conflicts between parents and teenagers based on the passage?A. Teenagers’ defense of their privacy.B. Parents’ striving to instruct teenagers.C. Teenagers’ refusal to follow experts’ advice.D. Parents’ dislike in teenagers’ attitudes to life.31. What can be learned from the last paragraph?A. Teenagers always rush to judgement on others.B. Parents often seek to create an authoritative image.C. Parents’ opinions about teenagers matter much to them.D. Teenagers feature good comprehension and defenselessness.DIt’s 2076 and the skies are looking decidedly milky. On windy plains and in parts of the seas that have been turned over to wind farms, a different kind of tower has been built alongside the turbines (涡轮). They take in CO2 out of the atmosphere. Vast parcels of land have been given over to forest. Trees are grown, harvested and burned for energy in power plants that don’t let CO2 escape to the atmosphere. Instead, emissions are captured and driven underground. Powdered minerals are put into the water to absorb CO2 and reduce ocean acidification.All these technologies are a desperate action to reverse more than two centuries of greenhouse gas emissions. But they are not entirely up to the task and, anyway, we are still releasing greenhouse gases. “I think it’s very likely that in 60 years we’ll be using both technologies,” says John Shepherd of the University of Southampton, UK. He is referring to the two flavors of geoengineering: absorbing CO2 out of the air and using a sunshade to reflect some of the sun’s rays back out into space.There is no denying that climate talks are going too slowly and not so smoothly. Even if industrial emissions were to drop rapidly — a big if — some sections pose an intractable problem. We have no real replacement for aeroplane fuel and feeding people demands intensive agriculture, which accounts for a quarter of global emissions.Computer models suggest there will be winners and losers. While a sunshade could lower global average temperatures to pre-industrial levels, there would be regional differences. Northern Europe, Canada, Siberia and the poles would remain warmer than they were, and temperatures over the oceans would be cooler. Global warming is predicted to make wet regions wetter and dry ones drier. Models suggest a sunshade would correct this, but, again, not in a uniform way.Shepherd fears all this will feed into international arguments. He imagines some kind of global council where governments seek a climate that meets their needs. Some might prefer a slightly warmer temperature, for tourism or agriculture. But nations whose coral reefs (珊瑚礁) draw in visitors will probably want more CO2 absorbing technologies.In spite of all these concerns, most scientists hold that revolutionary technology and people’s awakening can shine a light on solutions in ways that are impossible now. There is undoubtedly a long way to go when we address problems facing mankind, but we can always anticipate something.25. What is described in the first paragraph?A. Future scenery and farming methods.B. The development of transport technology.C. The serious pollution problem in the very near future.D. Future technologies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.26. The word “intractable” in paragraph 4 most probably means “______”.A. solvableB. untypicalC. trickyD. existing27. It can be inferred from the passage that ______.A. climate talks haven’t achieved the expected resultsB. industrial emissions will decrease greatly in 60 yearsC. technologies to reduce CO2 emission aren’t used properly for nowD. sunshades outshine intensive agriculture at capturing CO2 emissions28. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Effective CO2 absorbing technologies have come into wide use.B. With greenhouse gas reduced, global warming can be addressed.C. Future climate will improve with human efforts but threats still remain.D. Future climate will restore to a normal state with advanced technology.第二节(共5小题；每小题2. 5分，满分12. 5分)The Adoption OptionAdopting a pet is rapidly becoming the preferred option for many people who want to add an animal companion. ____36____An affordable choice. It’s true that many people are happy to part with thousands of dollars for purebred and “designer” crossbred dogs and cats, but rescue pets have a lot going for them and can be more affordable to purchase.Homeless animals can make wonderful pets. People often assume that dogs and cats end up in shelters because they’re unwanted or badly behaved. There are many reasons owners may need to rehome their pet — divorce, lack of suitable accommodation, or the time and money needed to care for a dog. ____37____Adult animals have benefits. Generally, if you decide to buy a pet from breeders, only very young animals are available. ____38____ And there are many benefits from adopting a more mature dog or cat. They will already be desexed, microchipped and vaccinated, so you will have fewer start-up costs. Most importantly what you see is what you get-a young animal’s behavior may still be developing, whereas an older animal’s personality and behavior should be evident, so no surprises.____39____ You should only adopt a dog or cat from a reputable shelter or rescue group. A behavioral trainer will assess the temperament (脾气) of every dog and cat before they’re put up for adoption. The staff should ask you lots of questions about your lifestyle so they can advise which dogs and cats will best suit your family. Ongoing behavior and training advice should be available, and you should be able to return the pet if things don’t work out.To keep in mind. ____40____ For example, you need to think carefully about how you will care for it — there’s a lot of responsibility associated with managing rescue animals appropriately. The costs, the necessary space and the age of people in your home are also important factors you should consider.A. Choose an appropriate animal from a reliable source.B. But shelters have a wide range of pets for you to choose from.C. Thus, some dogs and cats become lost, are not identified and are never claimed.D. Similar to many things, the price of owning a pet has been increasing.E. There are lots of online searches for possible pet adopters to choose an ideal pet.F. It’s important for you to only select a pet that will suit your lifestyle.G. You should take into account the amount of exercise your pet will need.第三部分语言运用第一节完形填空Traveling with a toddler (幼儿) can be exhausting.

Twenty-one years later, I am still a bright-eyed dreamer and one with quite a different tale to tell.My grandma, an amazing woman, graduated from college at the age of 65. She was the first in our family to reach that goal. But one year after I started college, she developed cancer. I made the choice to withdraw from college to care for her. It meant that school and my personal dream would have to wait.Then I got married with another dream: building my family with a bination of adopted and biological children. In xx, we adopted our first son. To lay eyes on him was fantastic -- and very emotional. A year later came oursecond adopted boy. Then followed son No.3. In xx, I gave birth to another boy.You can imagine how fully occupied I became, raising four boys under the age of 8! Our home was a plete zoo -- a joyous zoo. Not surprising, I never did make it back to college full-time. But I never gave up on the dream either. I had only one choice: to find a way. That meant taking as few as one class each semester.The hardest part was feeling guilty about the time I spent away from the boys. They often wanted me to stay home with them. There certainly were times I wanted to quit, but I knew I should set an example for them to follow through the rest of their lives.In xx, I graduated from the University of North Carolina. It took me over 21 years to get my college degree!I am not special, just single-minded. It always strikes me that when you're looking at a big challenge from the outside it looks huge, but when you're in the midst of it, it just seems normal. Everything you want won't arrive in your life on one day. It's a process. Remember: little steps add up to big dreams.56. When the author went to Howard University, her dream was to be ________.A. a writerB. a teacherC. a judgeD. a doctor57. Why did the author quit school in her second year of college?A. She wanted to study by herself.B. She fell in love and got married.C. She suffered from a serious illness.D. She decided to look after her grandma.58. What can we learn about the author from Paragraphs 4 and 5?A. She was busy yet happy with her family life.B. She ignored her guilty feeling for her sons.C. She wanted to remain a full-time housewife.D. She was too confused to make a correct choice.59. What does the author mostly want to tell us in the last paragraph?A. Failure is the mother of success.B. Little by little, one goes far.C. Every coin has two sides.D. Well begun, half done.BDo you find getting up in the morning so difficult that it’s painful? This might be called laziness, but Dr. Kleitman has a new explanation. He has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle.During the hours when you labor through your work you may say that you’r e “hot”. That’s true. The time of day when you feel the most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak. For some people the peak es during the forenoon. For others it es in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why this is so, but it leads to such familiar monologues (自言自语) as John talksto himself: “Get up, John! You’ll be late for work again!” The possible explanation for the trouble is that John is at his temperature-and-energy peak in the evening. Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean, and which cycle each member of the family has.You can’t change your energy cycle, but you can learn to make your life fit it better. Habit can help, Dr. Kleitman believes. Maybe you’re sl eepy in the evening but feel you must stay up late anyway. Adjust your cycle to some extent by staying up later than you want to. If your energy is low in the morning but you have an important job to do early in the day, rise before your usual hour. This w on’t change your cycle, but you’ll get up steam (打起精神) and work better at your low point.Begin with a slow start which saves your energy. Get up with a slow yawn and stretch. Sit on the edge of the bed a minute before putting your feet on the floor. Avoid the troublesome search for clean clothes by laying them out the night before. Whenever possible, do usual work in the afternoon and spend time doing important work for your high peak hours.60. According to Dr. Kleitman if you don’t want to get up in the morning ____________.A. you must be a lazy personB. you must catch a coldC. your energy cycle must be lowD. you should stay in bed61. Which of the following may lead to family quarrels according to the passage?A. A change in a family memb er’s energy cycle.B. Familiar monologues.C. Unawareness of energy cycles.D. Attempts to control the energy cycle of other family members.62. If one wants to work better at his low point in the morning, he should ____________.A. change his energy cycleB. go to bed earlierC. overe his lazinessD. get up earlier than usual63. You are advised to rise with a yawn and stretch because it will _________________.A. help you to control your temper early in the dayB. help to keep your en ergy for the day’s workC. enable you to concentrate on your routine workD. keep your energy cycle under control all dayCAny discussion of English conversation, like any English conversation, must begin with〝 The Weather〞. And in this spirit of observing traditional rule, I shall quote Dr Johnson’ s famous ment that “When two English meet, their first talk is of the weather”, and point out that this observation is as accurate now as it was over two hundred years ago.This, however, is the point at which most people either stop, or try, and fail, to e up with a convincing explanation for the English “ addiction ” to the weather. They fail because their premise (前提) is mistaken: they assume that our conversations about the weather are conversations about the weather.In other words, they assume that we talk about the weather because we have a keen interest in the subject. Most of them then try to figure out what it is about the English weather that is so fascinating.Bill Bryson, for example, concludes that the English weather is not at all fascinating, and that our “addiction” to it is therefore very difficult to explain : “To an outsider, the most striking thing about the English weather is that there is not very much of it. A1l those phenomena that elsewhere give nature an edge of excitement, unpredictability and danger—tornados, monsoons, hailstorms—are almost wholly unknown in the British Isles.”Jeremy Paxman takes offence at Bryson’ s ments and argues that the English weather is truly fascinating:Bryson misses the point . The interest is less in the phenornena themselves , but in uncertainty. . . one of the few things you can say about England with absolute certainty is that it has a lot of weather. It may not include tropical cyclones but life at the edge of an ocean and the edge of a continent means you can never be entirely sure what you’ re going to get.My research has convinced me that both Bryson and Paxman are missing the point, which is that our conversations about the weather are not really about the weather at all: English weather – speak is a form of code, developed to help us overe our natural reserve (含蓄) and actually talk to each other. Everyone knows, for example, that “Nice day, isn’t it?”,“Ooh, isn’t it cold?”; and other variations on the theme are not requests for weather data: they are greetings or conversation -starters. In other words, English weather – speak is a form of “cleaning talk” —— the human equivalent of what is known as “social cleaning” among our primate(灵长类的)cousins, where they spend hours cleaning each other’s fur, even when they are perfectly clean, as a means of social connection.64. As is stated in the passage, most people try to find out .A. why the English weather is so uniqueB. whether the English enjoy their weatherC. why the English are so interested in the topic of weatherD. whether the English really talk about weather when they do so65. Disapproving of Bill Bryson’ s opinion, Jeremy Paxman arguesthat .A. the English talk about their weather because it is unpredictableB. the English don’ t talk about weather as often as the outsiders thinkC. the English weather can be as exciting as anywhere else’sD. the English weather talk is merely a form of small talk66. According to the author, English weather – speak is similar toprimates’ social cleaning in that they are both .A. ways of greetingB. means social connectionC．fascinating topics between peopleD. phenomena difficult to understand to outsidersDAbout ten men in every hundred suffer from color blindness in some way. Women are luckier; only about one in two hundred is affected in this matter. Perhaps, after all, it is safer to be driven by a woman!There are different forms of color blindness. In some cases a man may not be able to see deep red. He may think that red, orange and yellow are all shadows of green. Sometimes a person cannot tell the difference between blue and green. In rare cases an unlucky man may see everything in shades of green － a strange world indeed.Color blindness in human beings is a strange thing to explain. In a single eye there are millions of very small things called “cones”. These help us to see in a bright light and to tell difference between colors. There are also millions of “rods”, but these are used for seeing when it is near dark. They show us shape but no color.Some insects have favorite colors. Mosquitoes prefer blue to yellow. A red light will not attract insects, but a blue lamp will. In a similar way human beings also have favorite colors. Yet we are lucky. With the aid of the cones in our eyes we can see many beautiful colors by day, and with the aid of the rods we can see shapes at night. One day we may even learn more about the invisible colors around us.67. According to the passage, with the help of the “cones”, we can____________.A. tell different shapesB. see in a weak lightC. kill mosquitoesD. tell orange from yellow68. Why do some people say it is safer to be driven by women?A. Women are more careful.B. There are fewer color-blind womenC. Women are fonder of driving than men.D. Women are weaker but quicker in thinking.69. Which of the statements about the color- blind is true?A. Not all of them have the same problem in recognizing color.B. None of them can see deep red.C. None of them can tell the difference between blue and green.D. All of them see everything in shades of green.70. We can attract and kill mosquitoes by using a _____________.A. red lightB. yellow lightC. blue lightD. green lightERome had the Forum (论坛). London has Speaker’s Corner. Now always-on-the-go New Yorkers have Liz and Bill.Liz and Bill, two college graduates in their early 20s, have spent a whole year trying to have thousands of people talk to them in subway stations and on busy street corners. And just talk.Using a 2-foot-tall sign that says, “ Talk to Me,” they attract conversationalists, who one evening included a mental patient, and men in business suits.They don’t collect money. They don’t push religion (宗教). So what’s the point?“ To see what happens,” said Liz. “ We simply enjoy life with open talk.” Shortly after the September 11, xx attacks, they decided to walk from New York City to Washington, a 270-mile trip. They found they loved talking to people along the way and wanted to continue talking with strangers after their return.“ It started as a crazy idea.” Liz said. “ We were so curious about all the strangers walking by with their life stories. People will talk to us about anything: their job, their clothes, their childhood experiences, anything.” Denise wanted to talk about an exam she was about to take. She had stopped by for the second time in two days, to let the two listeners know how it went.Marcia had led her husband to a serious disease. “That was very heavy on my mind.” Marcia said. “ To be able to talk about it to total strangers wasvery good,” she explained.To celebrate a year of talking, the two held a get-together in a city park for all the people they had met over the past year. A few hundred people appeared, as well as some television cameramen and reporters.They may plan more parties or try to attract more people to join their informal talks. Some publishers have expressed interest in a book, something the two say they’ll consider before making a decision.71. What did Liz and Bill determine to do after the attack on September 11, xx?A. Telling stories to strangers.B. Setting up street signs.C. Talking with peopleD. Organizing a speaker’s party.72. What they have been doing can be described as ____________.A. pointless (无意义的)B. normal（正常的）C. crazyD. successful73. Why are Denise and Marcia mentioned in the text?A. They knew Liz and Bill very well.B. They happened to meet the writer of the text.C. They organized the get-together in the city park.D. They are examples of those who talked to Liz and Bill.74. What will Liz and Bill do in the future?A. Go in for publishingB. Do more television programs.C. Continue what they are doingD. Spend more time reading books.75. How do they like the idea of writing a book?A. They have decided to wait a year or two.B. They will think about it carefullyC. They agreed immediatelyD. They find it hard to do that.第四部分写作（共两节，满分35分）第一节短文改错(共10小题; 每小题1分, 满分10分)文中有10处语言错误, 每句中最多有两处。

My brother, mother and I live in Hawaii. Our farm is at least a dozen miles from even the most basic of services. Therefore, I take weekly trips to the shop to gel supplies. About a month ago, I finished loading up the car and was about to leave when a piece of paper on the ground caught my eye. I picked it up and read it carefully. Immediately, I was grateful that I had donethat_______It was a receipt (收据) from the State Motor Vehicle Division, recording the owner's payment of her Vehicle's Registration fees. I put myself in his or her shoes and thought: no one would throw this away. I looked over the receipt for any personal data, perhaps a license plate (车牌) or telephone number, but failed. How could I find the owner in the busy, crowded parking lot? Had it been lying there for a few minutes or a week? So I checked the date, the fees paid and the name of the owner, who must live in our town. I decided that the best and easiest step to take was to put the receipt in an envelope and send it to the owner first the next morning.By the end of the week, I received a beautiful “thank you” letter from a woman including a handwritten message and a card. In the letter, the woman explained how the wind took her receipt from a pocket in her car's passenger door. She had searched everywhere for quite some time before giving up.It felt great to know I had helped someone avoid a loss by doing something that seemed little and unimportant.24．What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 1 mean?A．He was lucky to learn the lesson.B．It was a good idea to do shopping that day.C．He was right to pick up the paper.D．It turned out the paper belonged to the writer.25．What information did the writer get from the paper?A．The woman's license plate number.B．The woman's phone number.C．The woman's name.D．The woman's address.26．How did the woman lose the receipt?A．She forgot where she had put it.B．A strong wind blew it away.C．It fell onto the floor.D．She left it in the parking lot.27．What can be the best title for the text?A．A Lesson I Will Never Forget B．Never Lose Heart or Give upC．Little Things Still Mean a Lot D．Think Carefully Before You Act3.（8分）People like different kinds of vacations. Some go camping. They swim, fish, cook over a fire and sleep outside. Others like to stay at a hotel in an exciting city. They go shopping all day and go dancing all night. Or maybe they go sightseeing to places such as Disneyland, the Tai Mahal or the Louvre.Some people are bored with sightseeing trips. They don’t want to be “tourists”. They want to have an adventure—a surprising and exciting trip. They want to learn something and maybe help people too. How can they do this? Some travel companies and environmental groups are planning special adventures. Sometimes these trips are difficult and full of the world. Some volunteers spend two weeks and study the environment. Others work with animals. Others learn about people of the past.Would you like an adventure in the Far North? A team of volunteers is leaving from Murmansk, Russia. The leader of this trip is a professor from Alaska. He’s worried about chemicals from factories. He and the volunteers will study this pollution in the environment. If you like exercise and cold weather, this is a good trip for you. Volunteers need ski sixteen kilometers every day.Do you enjoy ocean animals? You can spend two to four weeks in Hawaii. There, you can teach language to dolphins. Dolphins can follow orders such as “Bring me the large ball”. Theyalso understand opposites. How much more can they understand? It will be exciting to learn about these intelligent animals. Another study trip goes to Washington State and follows orcas. We call orcas “Killer Whale” , but they’ re really dolphins—the largest kind of dolphin. These beautiful animals travel together in family groups. They move through the ocean with their mothers, grandmothers and great-grandmothers. Ocean pollution is chasing their lives. Earthwatch is studying how this happens.Are you interested in history? Then Greece is the place for your adventure. Thirty-five hundred years ago a volcano exploded there, on Santorini. This explosion was more terrible than Krakatoa or Mount Saint Helens. But today we know a lot about the way of life of the people from that time. There are houses, kitchens, and paintings as interesting as those in Pompei. Today teams of volunteers are learning more about people from the past.Do you want a very different vacation? Do you want to travel far, work hard and learn a lot? Then an Earthwatch vacation is for you.28．The Tai Mahal may be ________.A．a shopping center B．a hotel C．a dancing ball D．a place of interest29．From the passage, on an adventure trip, people ________.A．may not spend much time on sightseeing B．won’ t meet some difficulties or hardships C．can’t enjoy themselves D．can’t learn something30．If you want to learn something about people of the past, you can ________A．join the team to Hawaii B．join the team to the Far NorthC．join the team to Washington D．join the team to Greece31．The word “intelligent” in paragraph 4 means ________.A．exciting B．beautiful C．large D．clever4.（8分）Ivrea is a town in the Piedmont province of northern Italy. It is known for its local carnival（狂欢节）organized in February.The main part of the carnival is the famous Battle of the Oranges (La battaglia delle arance). The Battle includes nine teams who throw oranges at each other during three carnival days – Sunday, Monday and Tuesday.Oranges were not always used in the battle. In the middle ages people used beans. Twice ayear the local feudal lord gave a pot of beans to the poor families who, as sign of rebellion, threw them out of their homes. Later beans became part of carnival as sort of “ammunition” for throwing at people passing by.It is still not known why exactly people started using oranges. It is believed that the origin for this tradition is in the mid 19th century. The legend says that local girls, standing on balconies, started to throw some oranges, together with confetti, lupins(白羽扇豆)and flowers, onto the parade carriages. The girls actually wanted to draw attention of boys in the carriages. Boys “answered” by throwing some objects back at girls. Little battle started that way.Battle of the Oranges got strict rules after the World War II. The battles are organized on town's squares. The battles are fought between teams in carriages (symbolizing local the guards of local tyrant(恶霸)) and the teams walking beside those carriages (symbolizing rebellious people of Ivrea).Oranges for the event are brought from the island of Sicily. The oranges used are of low quality, not suitable for humans. About 270,000 kilograms of oranges are used each year.The carnival ends with a silent march on the night of “Fat Tuesday”. The Carnival "general" says goodbye to everyone with the phrase "See you next Fat Thursday at 1 p.m."Special prizes are awarded to three best foot teams, three carriages drawn by two horses and three carriages drawn by four horses.

江苏省南京航空航天大学苏州附属中学2023-2024学年高二上学期10月月考英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解The Best Family Reunion Spot in Every StateThe location for your family reunion could make the event. Choose one of these unique and comfortable spots in every state.Alabama—Doublehead Resort, Town CreekYou can’t beat the waterfront cottages available at Doublehead Resort. Each has a washer and a full kitchen. A cottage can sleep ten people, making this resort the perfect relaxing location for your family reunion. This could be the setting for another funny family vacation story.Arkansas—Whitney Mountain Lodge, GarfieldThis Northwest Arkansas hotel has a breathtaking view of Beaver Lake. Located between the Rockies and the Appalachians, this peaceful site is the perfect place to escape with your family. They have three private dining rooms, all available for rent for your events. Arkansas might not be the first family reunion destination that comes to mind, but it has one of the coolest hidden sightseeing.California—The Alisal Guest Ranch and Resort, SolvangIf budget isn’t an issue, book a family reunion at the Alisal Guest Ranch Resort in the Santa Ynez Valley. This 10,000-acre cattle ranch (牧场) is the ideal reunion spot for horse-back-riding families, and there’s also a spa for the family members who would prefer to relax.Delaware—Cape Henlopen State Park, LewesEnjoy a beachside reunion at one of Delaware’s most scenic state parks. The pavilion (大帐篷) is available for rent, so make your base camp at the group site as you have fun at the two beaches and 18-hole golf course. You can also climb up to a former military bunker (碉堡) for a brief history lesson.1．What is Doublehead Resort special about?A．The weather.B．The sightseeing.C．Its stories.D．Its cottages.2．Which spot offers history education?A．Doublehead Resort.B．Whitney Mountain Lodge.C．Cape Henlopen State Park.D．The Alisal Guest Ranch and Resort. 3．In which section of a magazine can you read the text?A．Daily life.B．Travel guide.C．Entertainment.D．Environment.Archan Chan recalls her first experience working in a Chinese restaurant more than 14 years ago. Employed as an apprentice (学徒) chef, she was one of just two women in the kitchen — the other’s only job was to beat eggs. “She was unbelievably fast at beating eggs. I guess for a woman to survive in a traditional Chinese kitchen back then, you had to be the best in something,” she says.Today, Chan leads the kitchen of Ho Lee Fook, one of Hong Kong’s most popular restaurants. After spending more than a decade working in fine dining restaurants in Australia and Singapore, she is one of a few female chefs who have risen to the top of a high-end Chinese restaurant. That’s an impressive achievement, given how unbelievably challenging it has been for women to show in high-end Chinese kitchens.Female chefs have long been a minority in professional kitchens around the world. But the situation is even severer in Chinese kitchens. There’s no denying the work is physically demanding — an empty pot weighs about 2.2 kilograms. In the past, few chefs would risk employing a female trainee into that tough environment.Given all of these barriers, not many women would even consider this male-dominated industry as an attractive career path. Thankfully, there are signs of a shift in mindset — the number of female Chinese head chefs has been rising in recent years.“Even if it’s a kitchen almost full of men, all everyone cares about is food — the cooking. They don’t care if you’re a male or female. Gender shouldn’t matter,” Chan says.“Yes, there is a physical barrier but I think the mental barrier may be more of a barrier to the increase of women in Chinese kitchens,”Chan adds. “It isn’t just about how much you want it but how much hard work you’re willing to put into it. There are days when you feel like your arms are falling apart and you can’t move them anymore, but the next day, you’re stronger and may be able to work a heavier work.”4．What can we learn about Archan Chan?A．She got a rapid promotion.B．She does best in beating eggs.C．She is the best female chef in China.D．She made a great achievement in her career.5．What’s a cause of very few female chefs in professional kitchens?A．Kitchen is a tough place for women.B．Women are afraid of physical work.C．Customers care about the gender of the chef.D．Women face both mental and physical barriers.6．Which of the following can best describe Archan Chan?A．Strong-willed.B．Open-minded.C．Cool-headed.D．Kind-hearted.7．What would be the best title for the text?A．Female chefs have risen to the top.B．Female chefs have long been a minority.C．Female chefs are proving doubters wrong.D．Female chefs are replacing male chefs gradually.Ever been hungry enough to eat a house? Now, you actually could.Food waste is a big problem in Japan and globally. Japan produced around 5.7 million tons of food waste in 2019. The government plans to reduce that by around 2.7 million tons by 2030. Tokyo University researchers Kota Machida and Yuya Sakai have developed a way to transform food waste into cement (水泥) for construction use and more. This is the first-ever process created for making cement entirely from food waste. The researchers say their product is four times as strong as traditional concrete. This particular cement can be used to make things like tea cups or chairs as well. However, there’s one additional feature — it’s also eatable.Kota and Yuya are the intelligence behind the formation of Fabula Inc., a company with purposes of reducing food waste, and helping fight global warming. As expected, something this unique took years to develop. It took a few attempts to find just the right process. Kota and Yuya created the unique technology while researching possible environment-friendly materials to replace cement-based concrete. Cement production accounts for 8% of theworld’s carbon dioxide release.After a few failures, they realized they could get the cement to bind (黏合) by adjusting the temperatures. “The most challenging part was that each type of food waste requires different temperatures,” Yuya said. So the researchers had to observe them and respond in time. In the experiments, Kota and Y uya have successfully made cement using tea leaves, coffee grounds, cabbage and even lunchbox leftovers.Fabula Inc. is currently working to make tea cups and furniture, but Yuya is thinking a little bit bigger. Their product could provide relief in the form of eatable emergency shelters in disaster ones. “For example, if food cannot be delivered to the people, they could eat makeshift beds made out of food cement,” he said. To eat the material, a person needs to break it apart and boil it.8．What’s mainly talked about in paragraph 1 and 2?A．The functions of this particular cement.B．The effects of food waste in the whole world.C．The characteristics of the newly made cement.D．The process of transforming food waste to cement.9．Which is one of Kota and Yuya’s purposes in making use of food waste?A．To handle global climate change.B．To extend concrete’s service life.C．To offer Fabula Inc. more cement.D．To warn how serious food waste is.10．What made the experiment of making cement out of food waste harder?A．Making sure to make cement tasty.B．Selecting correct food waste timely.C．Getting cement broken apart easily.D．Adjusting the temperatures constantly.A．bendable.B．commercial.C．recyclable.D．temporary.Advanced technology brings with it a lot of benefits to us. You can now prevent the speech of a single target person from being recorded by using a device called voice jammer.V oice jammers work much like noise-canceling headphones, which effectively removeunwanted background sound waves out of existence by playing back a copy of the unwanted sound with its wave pattern inverted (反向的).Such voice jammers generally stop electronic eavesdropping (窃听) on conversations by broadcasting inverse sound waves that affect all microphones within earshot.This can prevent nearby people’s phones from picking up their voices if they try to make a call, and can stop them interacting with smart assistants, warning that something strange is going on.Now Qiben Yan at Michigan State University and his colleagues have created a voice jammer that can target a specific voice without causing interruption to anyone else. They did this by training an artificial intelligence called a neural network to isolate (隔断) a speaker’s voice, allowing the jammer to create an inverse sound matched to their speech.Rather than sending an audible sound, their tool, called Neural Enhanced Cancellation (NEC), makes use of a bug found in all but the most expensive microphones. This bug introduces sounds at set distances above and below the microphone’s recording frequencies. NEC is able to play its inverse speech in the ultrasonic (超声波) range, so that humans can’t hear it. Doing this at the point of recording provides the necessary frequencies to secretly block an audible voice.The team found that NEC blocked voices on a range of smartphones from Apple, Xiaomi and Samsung at a distance of up to 3.6 metres. And this technology could be useful. 12．How do voice jammers prevent a speech from being recorded?A．By playing inverse sound waves.B．By interacting with smart assistants.C．By keeping wave pattern unchanged.D．By broadcasting different sound waves. 13．What does Paragraph 6 focus on?A．Stressing the importance of NEC．B．Showing the steps of using NEC．C．Describing the disadvantages of NEC．D．Explaining the working theory of NEC．14．What does the passage mainly talk about?A．The NEC blocking voices.B．A device against eavesdropping.C．A bug playing inverse sound waves.D．The technology changing the speech. 15．What might be discussed in the following paragraph?A．Disadvantages of voice jammers.B．Public opinions on voice jammers.C．Further development of voice jammers.D．Potential applications of voice jammers.二、七选五you live, many of us are vaccinated (打疫苗). But it’s hard to know for sure before you hug whether or not the person you’re leaning into has got vaccinated. Meanwhile, many of us are longing for the warmth of a hug after long stretches of social isolation. Humans biologically need touch, and a good long hug is one of the best ways to get it.Degge White, a professor at Northern Illinois University, says that our need for a hug goes all the way back to the survival of our species. When we’re born, we can’t care for ourselves and we need to be comfortable with being held in order to survive. 17 “When we hug, our brains release oxytocin, the bonding hormone (荷尔蒙), as well as serotonin and endorphins.”18 Because for humans, the security of our small groups and later communities was very important to survival. Close contact helped build civilization. As a result, our brains need each other—and when we miss out, it can have psychological repercussions (心理影响). “When we can’t hug, we don’t get that feeling of good hormones.”We may not know what we’re getting from greeting our friends and family with a hug; we just enjoy it. 19 An air greeting is not enough. Research published in the journal Psychological Science has shown that hugging has a “stress buffering (缓冲)” effect that may even protect us from illness and infections.Some people grow up in more formal households where hugging isn’t common. Others may experience abuse that makes hugging unpleasant. In both cases, when children don’t experience healthy touch, it can impact their development. Kids who didn’t grow up being held miss out on that sense of safety and protection. They may act out or isolate from those around them. 20 Some children may show too much affection, desiring any form of positive attention that they didn’t get at home.A．In some cases, the opposite may also be true.B．This bond and sense of community has an important role.C．We’re in an uncertain place in the world of greetings manner.D．It isn’t until those experiences are taken away that we feel pain and sadness.E．When friends reach out in preparation for a hug, they feel hormones increasing.F．We’re rewarded with a rush of feel-good chemicals that come from a comfortablehug.G．The lack of touching might imply cold attitudes in interpersonal relationships.三、完形填空noticed her interest fading week by week. Then one day, she slowly walked to me before class and asked if she could just 22 it.My first reaction was to advise her to “finish what you start”. 23 , sticking with something difficult can teach perseverance, discipline and confidence. But watching my first grader 24 herself into each ballet position, I started to question how much 25 that “blanket advice” made. Is it really in my kid’s best 26 , or even practical, to make her stick to every commitment through until she reaches a bitter end? What if there are different but 27 valuable qualities, which can be gained by 28 the things that are not right for her.After a few days’ consideration, she decided dance wasn’t for her — a choice I 29 . Quitting is never a black and white issue. Sometimes, it means 30 a barrier in your way to love something else. In my daughter’s case, ending dance made space for her new hobbies, such as horseback riding and Girl Scouts. She’s into them for now, but it is okay if that 31 changes.As adults, we are accustomed to 32 the power of saying yes, but what about saying no? The ability to recognize when something isn’t an 33 investment of our time or energy is also important. As my daughter gets older, I want her to feel confident to 34 something that’s no longer meeting her needs. She shouldn’t be held back by the thought that she must finish something at any cost 35 because she has started. 21．A．depressing B．independent C．unbearable D．enthusiastic 22．A．make B．join C．skip D．try 23．A．In addition B．At most C．After all D．By contrast 24．A．addict B．expose C．enjoy D．drag 25．A．time B．sense C．energy D．pity 26．A．honor B．help C．interest D．behavior 27．A．hardly B．equally C．partly D．seemingly28．A．letting go of B．fixing up C．making up for D．looking up 29．A．suspected B．required C．supported D．regretted 30．A．tolerating B．crossing C．challenging D．clearing 31．A．even B．still C．once D．yet 32．A．stressing B．experiencing C．warning D．ignoring 33．A．appropriate B．unfair C．extra D．informal 34．A．decorate B．abandon C．treasure D．practise 35．A．slightly B．roughly C．nearly D．merely四、用单词的适当形式完成短文阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

Expecting awhole day to relax, he was thinking whether to read the newspaper or watch hisfavorite TV talk show on his first day off in months. “This will be like a walkin the park,” he’d told his wife. “I’ll look after the kids, and you can govisiting your mom.”Things started well, but just after eight o’clock, his three little “good kids”—Mike, Randy, and Alex—came down the stairs in their night clothes and shouted “breakfast, daddy.” When food had not appeared within thirt y seconds, Randy began using his spoon on Alex’s head as if it were a drum. Alex started to shout loudly in time to the beat（节拍）. Mike chanted “Where’s my toast, where’s my toast” in the background. Brad realized his newspaper would have to wait for a few seconds.Life became worse after breakfast. Mike wore Randy’s underwear on his head. Randy locked himself in the bathroom, while Alex shouted again because he was going to wet his pants. Nobody could find clean socks, although they were before their ver y eyes. Someone named “Not Me” had spilled a whole glass of orange juice into the basket of clean clothes. Brad knew the talk show had already started.By ten o’clock, things were out of control. Alex was wondering why the fish in the jar refused his bread and butter. Mike was trying to show off his talent by decorating the kitchen wall with his colour pencils. Randy, thankfully, appeared to be reading quietly in the family room, but closer examination showed that he was eating apple jam straight from the bottle with his hands. Brad realised that the talk show was over and reading would be impossible.At exactly 11:17, Brad called the daycare centre（日托所）.“I suddenly have to go into work and my wife’s away. Can I bring the boys over in a few minutes?” The answer was obviously “yes” because Brad was smiling.56. When his wife left home. Brad expected to _______.A. go out for a walk in the parkB. watch TV talk show with his childrenC. enjoy his first day off workD. read the newspaper to his children57. Which of the following did Randy do?A. Drawing on the wallB. Eating apple jamC. Feeding the fish.D. Reading in a room58.Why did Brad ask the daycare centre for help?A. Because he wanted to clean up his house.B. Because he suddenly had to go to his officeC. Because he found it hard to manage his boys home.D. Because he had to take his wife back.BA mouse looked through a crack in the wall to see the farmer and his wife opening a package: What food might it contain? He was astonished to discover that it was a mouse trap!Retreating to the farmyard, the mouse declared the warning, “There is a mouse trap in the house, there is a mouse trap in the house.”The chicken clucked and scratched, raised her head and said, “Mr Mouse, I can tell you this is a grave concern to you, but it is of no consequence to me, I cannot be bothered by it.”The mouse turned to the pig and told him, “There is a mouse trap in the house.”“I am so sorry, Mr Mouse,”sympathized the pig, “but there isnothing I can do about it but pray; be assured that you are in my prayers.”The mouse turned to the cow, who replied, “A mouse trap, am I in grave danger, huh?”So the mouse returned to the house, head down and depressed to face the farmer’s mouse trap alone.That very night a sound was heard throughout the house, like the sound of a mouse trap catching its prey. The farmer’s wife rushed to see what was caught. In the darkness, she did not see that it was an evil snake whose tail the trap had caught. The snake bit the farmer’s wife. The farmer rushed her to the hospital. She returned home with a fever. Now everyone knew to treat a fever with fresh chicken soup, so the farmer took his hatchet to the farmyard for the soup’s main ingredient. His wife’s sickness continued so that friends and neighbors came to sit with her around the clock. To feed them, the farmer butchered the pig. The farmer’s wife did not get well, in fact, she died, and so many people came for her funeral. The farmer had the cow slaughtered to provide meat for all of them to eat.So the next time you hear that someone is facing a problem and think that it does not concern you, remember that when the least of us is threatened, we are all at risk.59. We may infer that the passage is most probably a ______.A. fairy taleB. fableC. science fictionD. news report60.

The underlined word “ingredient” (Paragraph 7) refers to ______.A. the mouseB. the pigC. the snakeD. the chicken63. What can we learn from the story?A. Better safe than sorry.B. Traps are usually well disguised.C. To help others is just to save you.D.

They tried to live simple lives so that they could have time for what was most important.They didn’t busy themselves buying a bigger house, because that would mean working harder to pay the monthly mortgage(按揭贷款)，working overtime or taking second job. Who would go running with me then? Who would read stories to me?They didn’t burden themselves with buying an expensive car because that would mean worrying about installment(分期付款) bills. Besides, walking to the shopping center every Saturday afternoon with me gave my dad his needed exercise,and made me feel so special.One of my heart’s delights was seeing Dad and Mom in their bedroom at night, after our nightly family prayer. The lights were turned off, and I’d see the figure of my father seated on his old chair and Mom standing behind him, gently massaging(按摩) h is shoulders. I’d hear them talk about what happened during their day. Even as a child, I sensed their quiet pleasure in being together.My question today: Could they have done this rich ritual(仪式) each night and nourished(滋润) their marriage if they had been busy paying for expensive clothes for themselves or their kids, or if they had been worrying about monthly bills for new hi-tech equipment? I don’t think so. And I’ve made a choice: I don’t want that of life either.67. Which of the following is TRUE ab out the author’s family?A. There were six people in the family.B.

In fact, it can be easy for an awkward situation to occur. Different customs can often cause misunderstandings and even trouble. So an article in the Daily Mail highlighted taboos in certain countries. Let’s take a look.France When visiting France, you’d better not be caught cutting your lettuce with a knife and fork. It’s an insult to the chef and suggests that the salad hasn’t been prepared correctly. The correct way to eat lettuce in France is to fold it with your fork to make it fit in your mouth.Italy It’s actually best to be a little less friendly than usual when you visit Italy. It’s considered strange to make small talk with strangers, as thelocals are reserved. Too much familiarity from a stranger can be seen as threatening, so keep greetings short.Mexico In Mexico, bringing an expensive gift to someone’s home is a no-no, as it could be seen as a tribe. Something simple like flowers and chocolates would be accepted. But you should avoid taking along marigolds (金盏花) or red flowers, because in Mexican culture, they symbolize death and can be associated with witchcraft(巫术).Germany You have to be careful with gifts of flowers in Germany too. Steer clear of carnations(康乃馨)，as they are used for funerals. And an even number is considered unlucky. So if you want to give your host flowers, ask them what their favorite flowers are before your visit. And be sure to bring an odd number.How to avoid 71.________ taboos in a new country五.书面表达 (满分25分)“实行低碳经济”，“过低碳生活”，现在已经成为了人们关注的热门话题。
