泉州五中 2024 届高中毕业班高考适应性监测(二)英语试题（无听力） A Crowdfunding is a fundraising method that makes use of the power of the Internet and social networks. It involves raising small amounts of money from a large number of individuals or investors, typically through online platforms. These platforms connect entrepreneurs(创业者) with potential backers who contribute funds to support a specific project, business, or idea. Types of Crowdfunding Donation-based Crowdfunding--People donate a small amount of money without receiving credit. Reward-Based Crowdfunding--Backers get a reward, such as a product sample or easy access, in exchange for their contribution. This model is popular for startups and creative projects. Equity(股权)Crowdfunding--Investors receive shares or equity in the business in exchange for their funding. This model is ideal for small businesses looking to raise substantial capital and is subject to specific regulations. Debt Crowdfunding-Entrepreneurs borrow money from backers and agree to repay it with interest over time. This model is similar to a loan and is suitable for businesses with a clear repayment plan. Tips for a Successful Crowdfunding Campaign Set clear goals: Define your funding goal, the purpose of the funds, and how you’ll use the money. Persuasive story: Make an appealing and genuine story about your business. Explain why it matters and how backers' contributions will make a difference. Transparency: Be transparent and honest about your project's progress and any challenges you encounter. Backers appreciate honesty. Fulfill promises: Once your campaign is successful, fulfill your promises to backers timely and communicate regularly. 21.Which of the following appeals to startups? A. Donation-based crowdfunding. B. Reward-based Crowdfunding. C.Equity Crowdfunding. D.Debt Crowdfunding. 22.To succeed in crowdfunding, you are recommended to___________. A. set a higher goal than what you really need B. keep the difficulties you encounter to yourself C. draft an attractive and authentic story about your business D.skip repayment plan and pay off in one time after due dates 23.Which section of a magazine is this passage probably taken from? A. Education B. Science C.Culture D. Finance B When training for my first marathon, I treated myself to an expensive fitness watch that tracked my time, pace and splits. At the end of my final training run, I threw myself down on the floor the moment I got home, only to see my watch had failed me. Twenty-one miles briefly flashed on the screen before it went blank and disappeared forever. I screamed in pain. That tragic image of me crying on my living room floor pretty much sums up my relationship with exercise tracking technology. It can be a total joy to watch your data change as you get stronger and faster, but sometimes it became a stick for punishment. I would compare my pace with other people’s or criticize myself for not doing it 30 seconds faster. I never really recognized this as a problem. To me, tracking was the route to self-improvement, and the point was to be better. In the past year, “being better” has taken on a different meaning. My mental health dropped, and things like brushing my teeth became unimaginably difficult. Being better stopped meaning getting faster or stronger. It meant taking care of myself and feeling some joy. Once I started getting better, I reflected on what made me happy and what did not. So, I stopped tracking my runs and deleted all the data. I then found I genuinely love running. I run around my local park with a silly little smile. But I do not love running quickly. I do not like races. I do not want to be pushed to be faster. I now notice how my legs feel and how my mind feels afterwards -clear and focused. I notice the smell of the wild plants and the sunshine on my face. I am better. Sometimes I am worse. But either way I'm moving forward slowly and firmly, and that's good enough. 24.The author cried after the final training run because she _________. A. had to stop working out B. became physically worn out C. lost the data on the watch D. felt a sharp pain in the legs 25.The author used to view exercise tracking as ____________. A. a fun hobby for enjoyment B. a strong need for recognition C. a method of escaping punishment D. a way of being a better runner 26.What does "being better" mean to the author now? A. Getting pleasure out of winning races. B. Being more focused on her life goal. C. Freeing herself from demanding tasks. D. Improving her overall well-being. 27.What can we conclude from this passage? A.Adjustment brings happiness. B.Passion is the key to success. C. Sports contribute to happiness. D. Success equals self-improvement. C Next time you're with a loved one, consider trying an awkward experiment: Take a moment of silence and gaze into each others eyes. By the time you reach about four seconds, things will probably start to feel uncomfortable. Yet the precise reason why is tricky to pin down with a scientific lens. “There’s something in that looking that has meaning, sustainable meaning,” says Joy Hirsch, a neuroscientist at Yale School of Medicine, “The mechanism for connection has never really been understood.” Several years ago, her team figured out how to adapt an existing neuroimaging(神经成像)tool called functional near-infrared spectroscopy(fNIRS), for the purpose of analyzing the brains of two people during natural interactions. With these brain imaging tools, Hirsch is expanding the social neuroscience field into what she refers to as “the neuroscience of two.” In the research, her teams have revealed a powerful region of the brain that is associated with eye contact. Specifically, fNIRS experiments have demonstrated that in-person eye contact seems to be connected to a brain part associated with language production and reception, as well as the primary sensory cortex(额叶), which is fundamental to processing sensations like physical touch, pain and temperature. In simple terms: “The eyes have privileged access to large parts of the brain,” says Hirsch. Hirsch’s experiments have also revealed the unique tendency for two brains to synchronize(同步) during eye contact and communication. A research of Dartmouth College has similarly highlighted how expansion of pupils(瞳孔) can synchronize during a conversation to indicate “shared attention” between two people, according to a 2021 study. Interestingly, those researchers found that precise moments of shared eye contact actually decrease the pupil synchrony between two people, perhaps in a beneficial way. Ultimately, each of these studies sparks just as many new questions as it answers - a reality that is perfectly fine with Hirsch.“Yes indeed, the old philosophers were right.” she says. “Faces and brains work together like locks and keys.” 28.What do we know about the awkward experiment from the first two paragraphs? A. It will be a long time before you feel comfortable. B.You can sense something from each other's eyes. C.Scientists have explained the reason for it clearly. D. There is no link between eye contact and feelings. 29.What is Paragraph 4 mainly about? A.Why the brain responds to eye contact easily. B. How the language is produced in the brain. C. What the function of primary sensory cortex is. D.How the regions of the brain are shaped. 30.What does the synchronization of pupils mean during a conversation? A. The interaction is fun. B. The conversation is interrupted. C. The two feel connected. D. A new conversations to start. 31.Why does Joy Hirsch quote the philosophers' words at the end? A. To further prove her findings are quite true. B. To emphasize the importance of their research. C. To show the complexity of the phenomenon. D. To stimulate people’s interest in further study. D I love asking “stupid” questions, especially the ones with no right answers. I remember once asking kids what time it was, at home, in Singapore, and finally on the Moon. A shy girl suggested it was “every time” followed by an energetic Einstein who shouted it was “no time”. Both kids shared that week's Noble Prize, because no humans live in that distant world and time is a human construct. In fact, we are all good at asking questions by nature, but sadly as we age, we get accustomed to the world around us and take things for granted. We became more results-oriented(注重结果的) and concentrate our efforts on success. If something is working, don’t fix it; just relax and go with the flow. Conventional wisdom may work well, but that does not mean it is always right. Throughout history, it has been those who have questioned conventional wisdom and challenged our common-sense notions of the world that have stimulated the major advancements of human civilization. In 500 BC,the ancient Greeks wondered whether the Earth was round because sailors on the sea had noticed that the farther south they went, the more different stars they saw in the sky. Why was the sky changing? Nearly 2,000 years later, the Italian astronomer Galileo Galilei became interested in this question and ended up demonstrating the “crazy” concept of heliocentrism(日心说), in which the Sun lies at the center of the universe while the Earth revolves(旋转) around it at 30 kilometers per second. But if the Earth is spinning around so quickly, why aren’t we being thrown off of the surface of the planet? The answer to this question would not end up being revealed to us for another century. People like routine, but past performance is no guarantee of future results. While those who challenge conventional wisdom tend to be subjected to abuse, the progress of humankind would have otherwise been impossible without these persistent people and their “stupid” questions. 32.What commonly happens to us when we grow older according to the author? A.We lay too much emphasis on process. B.We still refuse to relax and go with the flow. C.We start to challenge common-sense notions of the world. D.We gradually lose the ability to question conventional wisdom. 33.Who might have solved the question “why aren’t we being thrown off of the surface of the planet?” A. An ancient Greek scientist living in 500 BC. B. Galileo Galilei living between 1564 and 1642. C. Isaac Newton living between 1643 and 1727. D. Albert Einstein living between 1879 and 1955. 34. How does the author develop his writing on the whole? A. By comparison and contrast. B. By using supporting examples. C. By using time and space order. D. By generalization and definition. 35.What is the best title of this article? A. Asking Stupid Questions:the Smartest Thing You Can Do B. Exploring the Universe: the Ultimate Goal for Humankind C. Conventional Wisdom: What It Means and When to Use It D. Human Civilization: the Relationship Between Man and Nature 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 While most of us work hard to shine at the presentations and speeches we can prepare for, we may find impromptu(即兴的)communication scary. Actually, you just need to learn specific skills to communicate effectively when put on the spot. Here are a few pointers. 36 What do you want your audience to know? How do you want them to feel, and what do you want them to do? Having a clear objective paired with an awareness of your audience will narrow your focus. Then you can prioritize what to say and choose your exact words more wisely. Organize Your Thoughts. When making formal presentations, most people give a logical structure that audiences can easily follow. But few of us adequately organize thoughts in impromptu situations. 37 In fact, the best speakers maintain audience interest by demonstrating connections among specific points, ideas, for example. Listen as well as you talk. ___38___ You should do the opposite: focus on listening so that you can better understand the in-the-moment needs and interests of your conversation partners and respond more effectively. Paraphrasing or asking open-ended follow-up questions can help confirm your understanding and provide extra time to think about your response. Dare to be dull. Don’t feel you need to give a standout performance. One popular saying applies here, “ 39 ” Listeners are more likely to trust and approve of you when you speak like a human being rather than an actor or a robot. Research shows that the most effective speech includes moderate use of fillers such as “um” and “uh”. The real problem in impromptu communication isn't an inability to communicate. 40 Fortunately，a measure of experimentation thought, and practice of the skills can make impromptu speaking opportunities your time to shine. A. Identify a communication goal. B. He knows most who speaks least. C. Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good. D. It's being so nervous that we struggle with the talks. E. We may assume that it's impossible to do so on the fly. F. A clear structure enhances comprehension and engagement. G. Most people obsess over what to say during impromptu encounters. 第三部分英语知识运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节完形填空(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) I recall as a young child bringing a bunch of brilliant flowers to my mother.

It was Teacher's Day, and colorful posters were pasted around. Despite scattered(零散的)“Happy Teacher's Day” greetings from some students along the way, Mr. Thompson felt a familiar emptiness settle in his heart. Teacher's Day usually meant an apple and a chorus of "thank yous" from his own class. Today, he expected nothing different. The morning had been quite tough, filled with a host of math problems and forgotten homework excuses. One troublemaker in the class had again “accidentally” set his biology project on fire(thankfully contained). By the time the lunch bell rang sharply in the air, Mr. Thompson felt like a deflated(泄气的) balloon, the air of enthusiasm slowly leaking out of him. After lunch, he entered his classroom. The whole class was in chaos. The usual pre-class chatter sounded like a dull roar in his ears. All of a sudden, a scream cut through the air. Mr. Thompson's heart was in his mouth. Fights were a rare, but terrifying occurrence in his classroom. He cast his worn leather briefcase onto his desk, the forgotten pack of papers scattering like frightened pigeons. “What in the world is going on here?” His voice hoarse(嘶哑的) from shouting, Mr. Thompson rushed forward, envisioning images of black eyes and bloody noses. He struggled to make his way through the desks, the classroom suddenly deathly quiet. “Break it up! Now!” he shouted, trying to control the situation. Finally, he reached the center of the apparent fight, only to find himself staring at...a far more delicate, fragrant affair. Ethan, the class clown, was on one knee with a bunch of sunflowers and smiling at him. Para 1：The whole class looked at Mr. Thompson excitedly. Para 2: By the end of the day, Mr. Thompson’s voice was hoarse from laughter. 泉州五中2024届适应性考试参考答案（无听力） 阅读 21-23. B C D 24-27. C D D A 28-31. B A C A 32-35. D C B A 36-40.

Overwhelmed by the stress from my poor academic performance, I was on the verge of breaking down. Noticing my frustration, Shelly, my best friend came to offer a few words of comfort but I was in such low spirits that I blurted out some sharp words and she ran away weeping. Regrettably, I was too ashamed to apologize and I couldn’t feel worse, which threw me into a world of darkness. The moment I saw her approaching the next day, I lowered my head immediately, trying to avoid her deliberately. However, she stopped me and gave me a hug. When I looked up, I met a smiling face, as gentle as a summer breeze. At that moment, all my anxiety and depression melted away. When words fail, smile speaks. 1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
