河北省2023-2024学年高二年级上学期期末统考英语试题
河北省2023-2024学年高二年级上学期期末统考英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解Last Friday, Britain’s Prince William announced the winners of this year’s Earthshot Prize. The prize is meant to encourage new ideas and rapid action to help protect the planet. Below are parts of this year’s prize-winning projects in each category.Protect and Restore NatureKheyti won the prize for protecting and restoring nature with its “Greenhouse-in-a-box” idea. Kheyti is already working with 1, 000 farmers across India, which is one of the most climate-affected countries in the world. The company says the greenhouses allow farmers to use 90% less water and produce seven times as much food. Kheyti hopes to get its greenhouses to 50,000 farmers by 2027.Clean Our AirCharlot Magayi won the prize for cleaning the air. Ms. Magayi developed a stove (炉子) that uses a fuel that’s cheaper and pollutes far less than charcoal stoves. Currently, over 200,000 of her Clean Stoves are being used in Kenya.Build a Waste-Free WorldA London-based company called Notpla(for “Not Plastic”)won the prize for building a waste-free world. They’ve created a plastic substitute(替代品)from plants found in the ocean. Unlike most plastic, their products break down naturally with no microplastics. Notpla believes their products can help end the plastic pollution that’s filling landfills and polluting oceans.Fix Our ClimateThe Earthshot Prize for working toward fixing our climate went to a company called 44.01 from Oman. 44.01 has come up with a way to turn polluting carbon dioxide(CO2)into a rock called peridotite. Once the CO2 has been turned into rock, it can no longer be released into the atmosphere again. The method that 44.01 uses is fast, cheap and permanent. 1．What is the aim of the Earthshot Prize?A．To offer practical advice on global warming.B．To find solutions to the environmental problems.C．To develop a strategic partnership with all parties.D．To encourage literary creations of the British people.2．Where are Kheyti’s greenhouses widely used?A．In India.B．In Kenya.C．In the UK.D．In Oman. 3．What do Charlot Magayi and 44.01 have in common?A．They want to build a waste-free world.B．Their projects are directly good for farmers.C．Their achievements benefit the air cleaning.D．They use plants from the ocean in their products.Some of my earliest memories involve sitting with my dad in his study every night when he came home from the office, I’d watch as he put his personal items away; his watch, wallet, comb and car keys They would always occupy the same spot on the table every time.Dad’s comb was jade green. I heard he bought it when he married Mum. Every night, he would smile, hand me the comb and say, “Be a good girl and help Daddy clean it, OK?”I was more than happy to do it. At age five, this kind of task brought me such joy. I would excitedly turn the tap on, and then brush the comb with a used toothbrush as hard as I could. Satisfied that I’d done a good job, I would proudly return the comb to Dad. He would smile at me, and place the comb on top of his wallet.About two years later, Dad left his sales job and started his own wholesale business. I started primary school. That was when things started to change. Dad’s business wasn’t doing so well, and our stable life started getting shaky. He didn’t come home as much as he used to. And when he did come home, it was always late and I’d already be in bed. 1 started to get mad. Why didn’t he listen to Mum and just stick to his old job? Why did he take the risk and place the whole family in trouble? Over the years, I stopped waiting for him to come home, and stopped going downstairs to check on him.Now 28, I’ve graduated from college and got a job. Dad’s business has also started to get back on track. Yet the uncomfortable silence between Dad and me went on.Two days before my birthday last year, Dad came home early. On that evening, I helped him carry his bags into his study as usual. When I turned to leave, he asked me to clean his comb. I looked at him for a while, then took the comb and headed to the sink.It was the same comb. After cleaning it, I passed it back to Dad. He looked at it and smiled. But this time, I noticed something different. My dad had aged. He had wrinkles nextto his eyes when he smiled, yet his smile was still as heartwarming as before.4．From the first three paragraphs, we can learn___________.A．the author would study with Dad every eveningB．the precious green comb of Dad was made of jadeC．the earliest memories with Dad were full of joyD．the author was unwilling to clean the comb for Dad5．What probably made Dad decide to start his own business?A．He was eager to get everything on track.B．He wanted to keep his family life stable.C．He was laid off and had to make a living.D．He hoped to earn a better life for the family.6．What emotional changes did the author experience when staying with Dad these years?A．Cheerful→mad→warm.B．Mad→satisfied→warm.C．Satisfied→worried→angryD．Warm→concerned→uncomfortable.7．Which could be the best title for the text?A．My Dad’s CombB．Dad’s Wholesale BusinessC．Changes of My DadD．My Earliest Memories with DadMost people don’t lie very much. It makes sense. By being honest with people, you not only build up goodwill, but also save a lot of brain power since your brain doesn’t have to do anything out of the ordinary when you tell the truth. You just think of what you want to say, and you say it.Actually, lying takes much more work. Imagine you’re late to class and the teacher asks why. If you decide to lie, you have to make up a story on the spot, think about the various directions the conversation might take and figure out what you need to say to keep this whole lie from falling apart. You might not be aware of it, but you just give your brain a lot of extra work. “A lot of that brain work is done in a region called the prefrontal cortex. It’s the part in charge of working memory,” explains Jennifer Vendemia, a scientist from the University ofSouth Carolina.Working memory keeps something in mind just for a little while, such as remembering instructions for how to play a game or some other specific tasks. It stores things for only a short while as you’re using them, and it doesn’t put them in long-term storage. Besides working memory, the prefrontal cortex also takes care of tasks such as planning, problem-solving and self-control. Scientists describe these as executive function tasks. Executive function lets you think a step or two ahead to make sure the lie you’ re telling will likely hold up to questioning. “Spending so much brainpower trying to keep a story straight means there’s less available for other things,” says Vendemia. “Lying is especially harmful for young people as the prefrontal cortex is not fully developed until around age 25. When the prefrontal cortex is busy with tasks related to lying, younger people have a harder time doing other tasks.”Lying has social costs, too. People generally value honesty and don’t like liars. So if people view you as untrustworthy, it can be bad for your relationships.8．What is the first paragraph mainly about?A．The costs of lying to people.B．The true meaning of honesty.C．The benefits of being truthful.D．The difficulty of being a good liar.9．Why is a lying student mentioned in the second paragraph?A．To prove a concept B．To introduce a topic.C．To provide the background.D．To give an example.10．Which of the following is the function of working memory?A．Remembering a life-long lesson.B．Storing information for a short time.C．Pushing oneself to face difficulties.D．Processing information in the brain.11．What is the passage mainly about?A．The reasons why people lie.B．The harmful effects of lying.C．The part of brain in charge of lying.D．The ways to avoid being caught lying.Have you ever noticed that the stars sometimes appear brighter in December, January and February? There's a link between cold air and the night lights. "Part of it is that it tends to be drier in the winter," said Diane Tumshek, an astronomer at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Even though it's invisible, moisture can change the way light moves through the air. And in the summer, moisture can make stars appear more dull.Air temperature is also what puts the twinkle twinkle in the little stars. "Even on very clear nights, some of the atmosphere is cooler, and some of the atmosphere is warmer,” said Tumshek, who also works with the Allegheny Observatory. And when the light from a star passes through those bubbles of varying temperatures, "it bends and shifts the light, so that we are seeing stars appear to dance or twinkle,” she said.For star lovers in the United States, there's another factor that comes into play for bright winter stars, although this is a matter of coincidence. During Earth's journey around the sun, “there are just simply more bright stars visible from the Northern Hemisphere in the winter sky," Tumshek said. If you really want to see a shiny star, just try to find a burning ball of gas called Sirius near the horizon. At 8.6 light-years away, Sirius is relatively close to Earth and the brightest star visible in the night sky. It is also large — nearly twice as big as our sun and 20 times as bright. So this winter, when the world turns cold and it seems like we should be spending more time indoors, consider asking an adult to go exploring outside. With a warm coat and a clear sky, any night can be turned into a treasure hunt. All you have to do is look up.12．What does the underlined word "dull" in Paragraph 1 probably mean?A．not shiny B．not exciting C．not severe D．not smart 13．How does air temperature influence the brightness of stars?A．By changing the bubbles around them.B．By putting the twinkle twinkle in them.C．By varying the direction of the light from them.D．By making the stars dance and twinkle in the sky.14．What do we know about Sirius?A．It can be found at any night.B．It is 20 times as bright as the sun.C．It is a burning and shiny ball.D．It is closer to Earth than other stars, 15．What is the author's purpose in writing the text?A．To advocate stargazing in winter,B．To call on people to focus on stars.C．To present new research results about stars.D．To explain why stars are more visible in winter.Poetry has healing powers. To get more joy and peace, we don’t have to be a professional poet but we can develop a poetic mindset (心态). 16Be in awe (敬畏) of everything.The poetic mindset starts with the idea that nothing is an accident. Everything is interrelated and plays a part in a greater whole. 17 Close your eyes. Now open them. What is the first thing you see? Look closer. Ask yourself: What does it look like? What does it remind you of? Does it bring happy thoughts or sad ones? Why? I bet your randomly selected object is full of meaning.18A poem is a place where you can pour out your hard feelings. Don’t be afraid. You can always throw the page into the fireplace once you’ve filled it. 19 Poetry can be a storeroom for everything difficult in your life. But there’s more, I find when I write about something I’m struggling with, my negative feeling begins to become weaker.Seek what inspires you.Life isn’t perfect, but you can live with love and trust anyway. 20 There is always goodness to be found once you train yourself to look for it. Poetry to me is a form of praise. I build poems from things I see, people I meet and thoughts and feelings found deep inside. As I present those treasures in poetic language, I am appreciating what is good in them.A．Let pain be your teacher.B．How can we manage it in an easy way?C．What are the steps of writing a good poem?D．Poetry helps us remember this important wisdom.E．Or seal it in an envelope and come back to it later.F．Writing a poem is about describing your inner world vividly.G．Therefore, everything deserves notice and even appreciation.二、完形填空I was walking through the bush when, suddenly, a baby koala rushed to me through theof these animals 24 .Ever since I was a girl, I’d loved animals and at 18 had started work at the Curmmbin Wildlife Sanctuary as a 25 collector.

It is the education ____ he received when studying abroad ____has made him such an excellent manager.A. which, thatB. which, whichC. that, whichD. that, where参考答案：A考查定语从句和强调句。
句意：他在国外学习时受到的教育使他成为了如此优秀的经理。
分析句子结构可知，“____ he received when studying abroad”是定语从句，修饰the education，引导词在从句中做receive的宾语，指物，故该从句应用关系代词that/which 引导。
另外，根据强调句的判断规则，去掉It is和第二个空之后，该句剩余部分为：the education has made him such an excellent manager，这是一个完整句子，故第二个空填that。
综上所述，A选项正确。

He had already had his first show at a local art center, showcasing his series titled “Dispositions”, which illustrated his own growth during adolescence (青少年).Yet he wanted more — specifically to start showing his work in a juried exhibition, where a group of art experts would evaluate and select pieces in a competitive review process. That’s when he hit an obstacle, discovering in the very last line of a multi- page application that the minimum age for submission was 18.That rejection became a motivation for creation. “I thought it’d be really cool if I could provide the opportunity to more young artists,” says Nalin, now 15. With the support of his parents, in January 2023, Nalin rented a storefront and founded Little EGG Gallery, which is now profitable enough to make ends meet by charging a small hanging fee for any displayed work. In turn, Little EGG helps promote young talent by showcasing their work.Not long after opening, David Griffin, a professor and artist of Ontario College of Art and Design University stepped into the gallery and met Nalin. Griffin regards him as someone special: “a strong young artist with a really excellent idea — creating a space for showing the natural genius of young people. It was a void (空白) in the art world.” There Nalin asked Griffin to help judge an upcoming competition. The first juried show was last spring, and five- year - old Jack Gamble won for his abstract painting titled Pokemon.As Nalin was busy with school, life and his own art, Little EGG is mostly open by appointment only, but he’s still committed to growing it with seasonal and themed shows scheduled a few times a year.4．What do we know about Nalin Kamat from the first two paragraphs?A．He drew teenagers’ growth in his work.B．He became a working artist when aged 13.C．He was disqualified for a juried exhibition.D．He showed his series at the capital art center.5．Why did Nalin decide to set up Little EGG Gallery?A．To promote artists by showcasing their work.B．To form the connection between different galleries.C．To expand his own business through themed shows.D．To show young artists’ talent by offering them a stage.6．Which of the following can best describe Nalin’s idea of opening the gallery?A．Pioneering.B．Short-lived.C．Popular.D．Unpromising. 7．What kind of person is Nalin Kamat according to the text?A．Helpful and cautious.B．Devoted and creative.C．Humorous and intelligent.D．Knowledgeable and ambitious.Rote memorization is when we repeat a piece of information until we remember it. One great example of it is how we memorize the alphabet (字母表) when we are little. “Rote memorization can be a useful learning tool in some situations, but its effectiveness depends on the type of information being learned and how it is applied,” says Dr. Aldrich Chan, neuropsychologist and professor of Pepperdine University of the US.Rote memorization can be useful for test preparation, learning basic facts and information such as vocabulary words or math formulas, and when we are in the early stages of learning something new. Rote memorization has a place in our day to day lives, especially when we need to learn something new or in a quick fashion. It enables us to remember information in situations where doing so is the main thing asked of us, even if it doesn’t lead us to have a deep understanding of that information.However, rote memorization isn’t always the solution to every problem. Information memorized through rote learning is often preserved in the short term but may be forgotten relatively quickly if not actively used. Besides, it often does not promote a deep understanding of the material. Learners may memorize facts or information without truly comprehending their meaning or how they fit into a broader context. And rote memorization tends to focus onmemorizing facts and procedures, which may discourage critical thinking or problem-solving skills.Both rote memorization and meaningful learning have their place. The most important thing to remember is that rote memorization cannot stand in as a replacement for actual learning. Meaningful learning promotes long-term memory and the ability to apply knowledge flexibly. 8．What is Dr. Aldrich Chan’s attitude towards rote memorization?A．Against.B．Doubtful.C．Objective.D．Approving. 9．Which of the following can be best achieved through rote memorization?A．Improving study effectiveness in all situations.B．Applying knowledge flexibly in our daily lives.C．Obtaining a thorough comprehension of information.D．Memorizing information at the beginning stages of learning.10．What is the purpose of Paragraph 3?A．To compare different types of memorization.B．To present the limitations of rote memorization.C．To prove the effectiveness of rote memorization.D．To discuss the advantages of meaningful learning.11．What can be a suitable title for the text?A．Rote Memorization: A Useful Learning ToolB．Rote Memorizing: No Equal to UnderstandingC．Rote Memorization: Way of Meaningful LearningD．Rote Memorization: Alternative to Deep LearningIn the coming decade, space agencies and private space companies like SpaceX are planning to build a base on the Moon and Mars. While scientists are already building rockets for the journey, for long-term human settlements on them, astronauts will need fuel to carry out daily tasks. Many have suggested hydrogen (氢). But a group of scientists is working on turning CO2 in the atmosphere into jet fuel. As Mars is rich in CO2 and the lunar surface has a high concentration of CO2, it may be a feasible solution.For now the team of scientists at the University of Oxford is focusing on making jet fuel forthe aviation (航空) industry. As the aviation industry releases over 900 million tons of CO2 every year, to battle climate change, it is necessary to turn the tide. So far aviation scientists have tried to use other energy resources like electricity to fly. But such flights are limited to short distances. For long-distance flights, there is no alternative yet.The concept of turning CO2 into jet fuel is not new. Previously, other similar methods had to rely on expensive catalysts (催化剂) like cobalt to speed up the chemical reaction. But what Oxford scientists suggest is adding a cheap iron-based catalyst and hydrogen to turn CO2 into liquid fuel. As the process would not require using fossil fuel, it will make the industry carbon neutral (碳中和的).The scientists tested the new catalyst in a lab at 300°C and at 10 times the air pressure at sea level. The entire process took 20 hours and turned 38 percent of CO2 into new chemicals. About 48 percent of the chemicals were jet fuel hydrocarbon and the rest were other by-products that are used in the production of plastic.Professor Peter Edwards, a lead scientist in the project, said the new method could be improved in two to three years to produce jet fuel in large quantities. “This is a really exciting, potentially revolutionary advance. Our vision is that the world can see that CO2 collected can be used as an energy carrier to enable sustainable aviation.”12．Which word can best explain “feasible” underlined in paragraph 1?A．Unique.B．Practical.C．Time-tested.D．Quick.13．What problem does the aviation industry face?A．It is suffering from a serious fuel shortage.B．The traditional jet fuel is much too expensive.C．Climate change partly disturbs long-distance flights.D．Its alternative energy resources are not powerful enough.14．What do we know about the Oxford scientists’ method of fuel-making?A．It is green and cost-saving.B．It is complex and time-consuming.C．It runs tests in natural environment.D．It starts with immediate chemical reaction.15．What’s the purpose of the author?A．To attract people to explore the space.B．To inform us of a breakthrough in fuel research.C．To warn us the dangers of climate change.D．To encourage us to work in the aviation industry.Ever reacted to a situation in a way you later regretted? We all have. When we lack emotional intelligence, it can cost us relationships, both at work and in our personal lives. 16 So how can we do that? In this post, I uncover three simple yet science- backed strategies to help you get started.Form connections with micro- moments of upliftmentHave you ever noticed how some people leave you feeling exhausted while others make you feel energized and positive? The difference often lies in whether you’ re interacting with a“ positive energizer” — someone who understands the power of small uplifting moments.You can become a positive energizer yourself. 17 Instead, it’s about sincerely connecting with people through modesty, empathy, honesty, integrity, and forgiveness.18Feeling overwhelmed or stressed? Everyone does at times. Studies by our research team and others show that breathing exercises are one of the quickest and most effective ways to manage emotions in real time. By changing the rate of your inhales (吸气) to exhales (呼气), you can significantly lower your stress levels in minutes. 19 When you breathe in, your heart rate speeds up, but when you breathe out, it slows down. To practice, close your eyes and breathe in for a count of four, then breathe out for a count of eight. Repeat this for at least two to five minutes.Tap into your self- awarenessHave you ever reacted to a situation at work in a way you weren’t proud of? No matter how successful we may be, we all struggle with managing our emotions at times and suffer the consequences afterward. Self- awareness is vital for managing your reactions and improving your relationships. It’s about tuning into what’s happening in your mind and body — taking a moment to reflect and ask yourself“ What do I need right now?” Sit down and close your eyes. 20 Notice your state of your body, take note of your thoughts and notice your emotions.A．Bring your attention inward.B．Self- regulate with your breath.C．The key is to extend your exhalations.D．Manage your emotional intelligence wisely.E．This doesn’t mean forcing cheerfulness or wearing a fake smile.F．Emotional intelligence is the ability to identify, assess and control the emotions of yourself. G．Learning how to manage our emotions skillfully is critical to being socially successful.二、完形填空It had been a long business trip. We had already had multiple flight delays, so I was pleased when we 21 boarded the plane on schedule. The flight attendants shut the door, 22 the passengers, and soon after, I heard the sound of the engines firing, which seemed quite 23 to me.It is common in Atlanta that we had to wait a bit on the 24 for our turn. And then finally we started moving slowly. 25 , when we did so for about 10 minutes, suddenly the plane stopped. An announcement came that we’d have a delay, and we’d be in a holding pattern for a little while.That “little while” 26 90 minutes at last. It was almost 40 degrees and we were 27 in the small plane with almost no air conditioning. It seemed like a(n) 28 ! So when the plane took off in the end, all the passengers couldn’t help cheering.Waiting is not something that comes easily to me. I’m more like the sports car with the engine 29 waiting at the crossing. But now, I’ve 30 something: When I have to stay in a “holding pattern”, it will be wise to accept that with 31 and a good attitude. Sometimes those “holding patterns” are for my 32 . They make me wait until things are 33 . Sometimes those “holding patterns” seem very long and 34 just like the one on the hot airplane but I should trust everything will be OK.
