Ten years ago, she and her family moved to a new home in Austin, Texas. One day, Kristin tried to connect with her new neighbors by hosting a party. She bought a few picnic tables but the delivery driver set one table down in her front yard by mistake. “After the party, I painted the table turquoise—my favorite color—and put it in the front yard, just a few feet from the sidewalk,” she says. That turquoise table became the place where Kristin and her kids hung out. They played games, did crafts and ate snacks. “We got intentional about where we spent our time,” Kristin says. “We became ‘front yard people’.” Neighbors began to stop by to introduce themselves and sit down for a chat. Kristin invited people to join her at the table for coffee or iced tea. Then neighbors asked Kristin if their family could put a picnic table in their front yard too. A movement was born. It was a simple way to slow down and connect with others,” she says. The turquoise table was inviting and had a shared feel. People often hesitate to invite others into their homes. They think their house is too messy, it’s not big enough or they don’t have enough time. “Our perfectionism can cause us to miss out on the joy of connecting with others,” Kristin says. Her picnic table takes away the excuses—and the pressure. She likes how it enables her to take a small step toward easing loneliness and building relationships in her community. “People’s greatest need is to know that they are loved and that they belong,” she says. A decade after their Texas beginnings, thousands of Turquoise Tables exist in all 50 states and in 13 countries around the world. Not all of them are actually turquoise. “No matter what color it is, it’s a friendship table,” Kristin says. 1. Why did Kristin Schell start the movement? A. To host more parties in her front yard. B. To entertain her friends and neighbors. C. To engage with people in the neighbourhood. D. To create harmonious communities worldwide. 2. Which of the following words best describe Kristin Schell according to the text? A. Creative and sociable. B. Friendly and humorous. C. Generous and ambitious. D. Cautious and responsible. 3. What can be inferred from the text? A. People don’t like others to step into their houses. B. The campaign has a big impact at home and abroad. C. Kristin Schell bought the turquoise table to host a party. D. People feel unwilling to join in the front yard chat at first. B Scientists from the University of Tsukuba designed a text message mediation(调节) robot that can help users control their anger when receiving upsetting news. This device may help improve social interactions as we move towards a world with increasingly digital communications. While a quick text message apology is a fast and easy way for friends to let us know they are going to be late for a planned meeting, it is often missing the human factor that will accompany an explanation face to face, or even over the phone. It is likely to be more upsetting when we are not able to notice the emotional weight behind our friends’ regret at making us wait. Now, researchers at the University of Tsukuba have built a robot that they called OMOY, which was equipped with a movable weight driven by mechanical parts inside its body. By shifting the internal weight, the robot could express simulated emotions(模拟情绪). The robot was designed as a mediator for reading text messages. A text with unwelcome or frustrating news could be followed by a suggestion by OMOY. The robot tries to make the user not get upset, or even expresses sympathy for the user. “With the medium of written digital communication, the lack of social feedback shift focus from the sender and onto the content of the message itself,” author Professor Fumihide Tanaka says. The mediator robot was designed so that it can control the user’s anger and other negative motivations. The researchers tested 94 people with a message like “I’m sorry, I am late. The appointment slipped my mind. Can you wait another hour?” The team found that OMOY was able to reduce negative emotions. “The mediation robot can relay(播放) a frustrating message followed by giving its own opinion. When this speech is accompanied by the appropriate weight shifts, we saw that the user would feel the ‘intention’ of the robot to help them calm down,” Professor Tanaka says. 4. Why is OMOY designed? A. To send apology messages to friends on behalf of users. B. To provide users a way to avoid receiving bad messages. C. To show sympathy to users by sending encouraging messages. D. To help calm users down when they receive negative messages. 5. What does Paragraph 3 intend to tell us? A. How OMOY comes to work. B. How OMOY chats with users. C. How OMOY responds to users. D. How OMOY judges bad messages. 6. What can we learn from Tanaka’s words? A. OMOY is popular with all users. B. OMOY is sensitive to any messages. C. OMOY is the perfect robot at present. D. OMOY is helpful to users in a way. C Is there actual evidence that a coin toss — the act of spinning a coin in the air with your thumb and catching it in your hand — tends to favor one side over the other? Or is a coin flip 50/50? A new study questions the fairness of the flip. One side of the coin is, in fact, more likely to come up than the other, according to a team of scientists led by University of Amsterdam PhD candidate František Bartoš. Their study, which is still undergoing peer review, collected and analyzed the results of 350,757 coin flips in 46 different currencies and registered that the coins landed on the same side they started on 51% of the time. This research was done in an effort to confirm a hypothesis (假设) proposed earlier by Stanford University statistics professor Persi Diaconis and his team. According to that theory, “vigorously flipped coins tend to come up the same way they started.” According to Diaconis’s team, when people flip an ordinary coin, they introduce a small degree of “precession”, meaning a change in the direction of the axis (轴) of turning throughout a coin’s track. Consequently, the coin tends to spend more time in the air with the initial side facing up. This makes a coin flip not quite 50/50. In 2007, Diaconis’s team estimated the odds of a “same-side outcome” as approximately 51%. Nearly a decade and a half later, Bartos and his team found this very result. They published a preliminary report stating, “Our data lend strong support to the previous hypothesis — The coins landed on the same side more often than not.” Moreover, this was true for both sides of the coin and for all of the different coins tossed. As Diaconis stated back in 1986, “The more you think about randomness, the less random things become. But sometimes, you can take advantage of a lack of randomness.” Indeed, when it comes to flipping a coin, the quickest shortcut to making your own luck might just be calling it literally as you see it. 7 What’s the purpose of conducting the study? A. To find evidence for the fairness of a coin toss. B. To prove an assumption put forward years ago. C. To state the definite chance of one side of a coin coming up. D. To analyze the result of over 300,000 coin flips in different currencies. 8. What does the underlined word “precession” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Progressing. B. Spinning. C. Bouncing. D. Dropping. 9. Which of the following may Diaconis agree with? A. There is no need to consider randomness too much. B. We have to make good use of a lack of randomness. C. Whatever coin it is, randomness turns out to be fair ultimately. D. The harder we flip a coin, the greater chance we will gain its randomness. 10. What can be the best title for the text? A. Is a Coin Flip 50/50? A Perfect Randomness. B. Is a Coin Flip 50/50? A Mysterious Guess. C. Is a Coin Flip 50/50? Think Twice! D. Is a Coin Flip 50/50? You Bet! 第二节（共5 小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5 分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The Sunday scare is a feeling of worry and anxiety about going to work or school the next day.

My parents were worried so they introduced a part-time job in a restaurant tome during the summer vacation, hoping it would make a difference to me. Although I hated it and didn’t believe it would bring any change to me, I had to accept it. The part-time job fell on Monday of each week. On the first Monday, I simply dared not look at people in the restaurant. And when I was speaking with them, my face turned red and my voice was low. On my way back home, I felt so bad. But when I reached home, my bad feelings disappeared. I found my parents had brought home a pet cat, which I had expected to get for a long period of time. The cat was so lovely. However, one Thursday, he secretly ran out and disappeared. We looked for him everywhere the whole day but found nothing. We lived in the city, close to a high-traffic road, and this cat didn’t have “street smarts”. I guessed he would probably die and wouldn’t be home again. And after three days of looking for the cat with no sign of him, I quite believed he wouldn’t be home again. My parents told me “A miracle (奇迹) may happen as long as you don’t give up.” However, I quite doubted it. On the morning of the following Monday, I left for work 45 minutes earlier and started walking to the bus stop a block away. While waiting for the bus there, I thought about the work and felt upset. It wouldn’t be helpful to me and it was tiring! How much I wanted to quit the job! And thinking of the cat, I felt even worse. Since it was still early, I suddenly wanted to spare some time to look for the cat again though I had little hope. I told myself, “If I still fail to find him this time, I won’t look for him again.” Then, I decided to walk to the next bus stop to look for him around. Minutes later, suddenly, a dirty and weak cat sitting by a tree caught my eye. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 My eyes widened, and I was surprised to find it was just our cat. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Encouraged, I rushed to the bus stop and decided not to give up the part-time job. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2023-2024学年下学期段考二四校联考高二英语试题 考试时间：120分钟 满分：150分 注意事项： 1．答卷前，考生务必用黑色字迹钢笔或签字笔将自己的姓名和考生号、试室号、座位号填在答题卡上。用2B铅笔将试卷类型（A）填涂在答题卡相应位置上。 2．选择题每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目选项的答案信息点涂黑，如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案，答案不能答在试卷上。 3．非选择题必须用黑色字迹的钢笔或签字笔作答，答案必须写在答题卡各题目指定区域内的相应位置上；如需改动，先划掉原来的答案，然后再写上新的答案；不准使用铅笔和涂改液。不按以上要求作答的答案无效。 4．考生必须保持答题卡的整洁。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分20分） 第一节 听力理解（两段共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 每段播放两遍。各段后有几个小题，每段播放前每小题有5秒钟的阅题时间。请根据各段播放内容及其相关小题，在5秒钟内从题中所给的A、B、C 项中选出最佳选项。 听第一段对话，回答第1～2题。 1．Which sport does the woman love most?

B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了主人公克里斯汀·谢尔是“绿松石桌”(the Turquoise Table)的创始人，这是一个普通人想要在自己的前院建立社区的运动。该运动的目的是与邻居和陌生人建立联系。在她的宣传和带动下，现已形成了一场全国性的运动。 【1题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Kristin Schell is the founder of The Turquoise (蓝绿色) Table, a movement of ordinary people who want to create community right in their own front yards. Ten years ago, she and her family moved to a new home in Austin, Texas.”（克里斯汀·谢尔(Kristin Schell)是“绿松石桌”(the Turquoise Table)的创始人，这是一个普通人想要在自己的前院建立社区的运动。十年前，她和家人搬到了德克萨斯州奥斯汀的新家。）以及第二段中“One day, Kristin tried to connect with her new neighbors by hosting a party.”（一天，克里斯汀试图通过举办一个聚会来与她的新邻居建立联系。）和第四段中“It was a simple way to slow down and connect with others”（这是一种简单的方式，可以让你放慢脚步，与他人交流。）可推知，克里斯汀·谢尔发起这项运动的目的是与邻居接触。故选C项。 【2题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“After the party, I painted the table turquoise—my favorite color—and put it in the front yard, just a few feet from the sidewalk,” she says.”（“聚会结束后，我把桌子漆成了我最喜欢的绿松石色，然后把它放在前院，离人行道只有几英尺远，”她说。）以及后文克里斯汀后来发起了“绿松石桌”运动可知，克里斯汀具有创造性。根据第四段中“Kristin invited people to join her at the table for coffee or iced tea.”（克里斯汀邀请人们和她一起坐在桌边喝咖啡或冰茶。）可知，克里斯汀是一个热情，好交际的人。由此可推知，克里斯汀·谢尔是一个有创造力，善于交际的人。故选A项。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“A decade after their Texas beginnings, thousands of Turquoise Tables exist in all 50 states and in 13 countries around the world.”（从德州开始的十年后，成千上万的绿松石桌遍布全球50个州和13个国家。）可推知，这场运动在国内外都产生了巨大的影响。故选B项。 B Scientists from the University of Tsukuba designed a text message mediation(调节) robot that can help users control their anger when receiving upsetting news.

(筑波大学的科学家们设计了一款短信调解机器人，可以帮助用户在收到令人沮丧的消息时控制自己的愤怒情绪。)”以及最后一段的第一句“The researchers tested 94 people with a message like “I’m sorry, I am late. The appointment slipped my mind. Can you wait another hour?” The team found that OMOY was able to reduce negative emotions. (研究人员用一条像“对不起，我迟到了，我把约会给忘了。你能再等一个小时吗？”这样的信息对94人进行了测试，研究小组发现，OMOY能够减少负面情绪。)”可知，OMOY被设计出来是为了在用户收到负面信息时，帮助他们冷静下来。故选D。 【5题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“By shifting the internal weight, the robot could express simulated emotions(模拟情绪). The robot was designed as a mediator for reading text messages. A text with unwelcome or frustrating news could be followed by a suggestion by OMOY. The robot tries to make the user not get upset, or even expresses sympathy for the user. (通过移动机器人内部的重量，机器人可以表达模拟的情绪。该机器人被设计为阅读文本信息的中介。在收到一条不受欢迎或令人沮丧的消息之后，OMOY可能会建议用户不要难过，甚至同情用户。 )”可知，通过改变内部重量，机器人可以表达模拟的情绪，作为阅读短信的中介物，它还会劝用户不要难过，甚至同情用户。由此可以推出，第三段告诉我们OMOY是如何工作的。故选A。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段的“ “The mediation robot can relay(播放) a frustrating message followed by giving its own opinion. When this speech is accompanied by the appropriate weight shifts, we saw that the user would feel the ‘intention’ of the robot to help them calm down,” Professor Tanaka says. (田中教授说：“调解机器人可以传递令人沮丧的信息，然后给出自己的意见。当这个言语伴随着适当的重心转移时，我们发现用户会感觉到机器人想帮助他们平静下来的‘意图’”。)”可知，Tanaka认为，OMOY在某种程度上对用户是有好处的，能帮助客户平静负面心情。故选D。 C Is there actual evidence that a coin toss — the act of spinning a coin in the air with your thumb and catching it in your hand — tends to favor one side over the other? Or is a coin flip 50/50? A new study questions the fairness of the flip. One side of the coin is, in fact, more likely to come up than the other, according to a team of scientists led by University of Amsterdam PhD candidate František Bartoš. Their study, which is still undergoing peer review, collected and analyzed the results of 350,757 coin flips in 46 different currencies and registered that the coins landed on the same side they started on 51% of the time. This research was done in an effort to confirm a hypothesis (假设) proposed earlier by Stanford University statistics professor Persi Diaconis and his team. According to that theory, “vigorously flipped coins tend to come up the same way they started.” According to Diaconis’s team, when people flip an ordinary coin, they introduce a small degree of “precession”, meaning a change in the direction of the axis (轴) of turning throughout a coin’s track. Consequently, the coin tends to spend more time in the air with the initial side facing up. This makes a coin flip not quite 50/50. In 2007, Diaconis’s team estimated the odds of a “same-side outcome” as approximately 51%. Nearly a decade and a half later, Bartos and his team found this very result. They published a preliminary report stating, “Our data lend strong support to the previous hypothesis — The coins landed on the same side more often than not.” Moreover, this was true for both sides of the coin and for all of the different coins tossed. As Diaconis stated back in 1986, “The more you think about randomness, the less random things become. But sometimes, you can take advantage of a lack of randomness.” Indeed, when it comes to flipping a coin, the quickest shortcut to making your own luck might just be calling it literally as you see it. 7. What’s the purpose of conducting the study? A. To find evidence for the fairness of a coin toss. B. To prove an assumption put forward years ago. C. To state the definite chance of one side of a coin coming up. D. To analyze the result of over 300,000 coin flips in different currencies. 8. What does the underlined word “precession” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Progressing. B. Spinning. C. Bouncing. D. Dropping. 9. Which of the following may Diaconis agree with? A. There is no need to consider randomness too much. B. We have to make good use of a lack of randomness. C. Whatever coin it is, randomness turns out to be fair ultimately. D. The harder we flip a coin, the greater chance we will gain its randomness. 10. What can be the best title for the text? A. Is a Coin Flip 50/50? A Perfect Randomness. B. Is a Coin Flip 50/50? A Mysterious Guess. C. Is a Coin Flip 50/50? Think Twice! D. Is a Coin Flip 50/50? You Bet! 【答案】7. B 8. B 9. A 10. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，文章介绍了一项新的研究对抛硬币的公平性提出了质疑，并通过研究发现抛硬币的两面出现的概率并不是50/50随机的公平，硬币落在开始时的同一侧的概率更高。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“This research was done in an effort to confirm a hypothesis (假设) proposed earlier by Stanford University statistics professor Persi Diaconis and his team. (此次研究是为了证实斯坦福大学统计学教授Persi Diaconis和他的团队早先提出的假设。根据这一理论，‘用力抛掷的硬币往往会以与开始时相同的方式出现。’)”可知，这项研究的目的是为了证明斯坦福大学统计学教授Persi Diaconis和他的团队早些年提出的假设。故选B。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段第一句“According to Diaconis’s team, when people flip an ordinary coin, they introduce a small degree of “precession”, meaning a change in the direction of the axis (轴) of turning throughout a coin’s track.(根据Diaconis团队的说法，当人们抛一枚普通的硬币时，他们会引入一个小幅度的“precession”，这意味着在硬币的整个轨迹中，旋转轴的方向会发生变化。)”中的“meaning a change in the direction of the axis (轴) of turning throughout a coin’s track.”以及下文“ Consequently, the coin tends to spend more time in the air with the initial side facing up. (因此，硬币倾向于花更多的时间在空中与最初的一面朝上。)”可知，人们抛硬币时会带入小幅度的“旋进”，整个硬币的轨迹中旋转轴的方向有一个变化，precession表达的意思是“旋进”，与spinning表达的意思相近。故选B。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“As Diaconis stated back in 1986, “The more you think about randomness, the less random things become. But sometimes, you can take advantage of a lack of randomness.” (正如Diaconis在1986年所言：‘你对随机性思考得越多，随机性就越少。但有时候，你可以利用游戏缺乏随机性的优势。’)”可知，Diaconis认为对随机性思考得越多，随机性就越少，但有时候也可以利用缺乏随机性；由此可知，Diaconis可能同意A选项“There is no need to consider randomness too much.(没有必要过多考虑随机性。)”。故选A。 【10题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据第一段“Is there actual evidence that a coin toss — the act of spinning a coin in the air with your thumb and catching it in your hand — tends to favor one side over the other? Or is a coin flip 50/50? A new study questions the fairness of the flip.(是否有实际证据表明抛硬币——用拇指在空中旋转硬币并用手抓住硬币的行为——倾向于一方而不是另一方?或者掷硬币是50/50？一项新的研究对抛硬币公平性提出了质疑。)”以及第二段“One side of the coin is, in fact, more likely to come up than the other, according to a team of scientists led by University of Amsterdam PhD candidate František Bartoš. Their study, which is still undergoing peer review, collected and analyzed the results of 350, 757 coin flips in 46 different currencies and registered that the coins landed on the same side they started on 51% of the time. This research was done in an effort to confirm a hypothesis (假设) proposed earlier by Stanford University statistics professor Persi Diaconis and his team. According to that theory, “vigorously flipped coins tend to come up the same way they started.”(阿姆斯特丹大学博士候选人František bartoski领导的一组科学家表示，事实上，硬币的一面比另一面更容易出现。他们的研究收集并分析了用46种不同货币投掷350,757枚硬币的结果，发现51%的硬币落在开始时的同一侧。此次研究是为了验证斯坦福大学统计学教授Persi Diaconis和他的团队早先提出的假设(假设)。根据这一理论，“用力抛掷的硬币往往会以与开始时相同的方式出现。”)”可知，本文主要介绍一项新的研究对抛硬币的公平性提出了质疑，并通过研究发现抛硬币的两面出现的概率并不是50/50随机的公平，硬币的一面比另一面更容易出现；由此可知，C选项“Is a Coin Flip 50/50? Think Twice!(掷硬币是50/50吗？三思而后行！)”符合本文主旨，适合作为最佳标题。故选C。 第二节（共5 小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5 分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The Sunday scare is a feeling of worry and anxiety about going to work or school the next day.

My parents were worried so they introduced a part-time job in a restaurant tome during the summer vacation, hoping it would make a difference to me. Although I hated it and didn’t believe it would bring any change to me, I had to accept it. The part-time job fell on Monday of each week. On the first Monday, I simply dared not look at people in the restaurant. And when I was speaking with them, my face turned red and my voice was low. On my way back home, I felt so bad. But when I reached home, my bad feelings disappeared. I found my parents had brought home a pet cat, which I had expected to get for a long period of time. The cat was so lovely. However one Thursday, he secretly ran out and disappeared. We looked for him everywhere the whole day but found nothing. We lived in the city, close to a high-traffic road, and this cat didn’t have “street smarts”. I guessed he would probably die and wouldn’t be home again. And after three days of looking for the cat with no sign of him, I quite believed he wouldn’t be home again. My parents told me “A miracle (奇迹) may happen as long as you don’t give up.” However, I quite doubted it. On the morning of the following Monday, I left for work 45 minutes earlier and started walking to the bus stop a block away. While waiting for the bus there, I thought about the work and felt upset. It wouldn’t be helpful to me and it was tiring! How much I wanted to quit the job! And thinking of the cat, I felt even worse. Since it was still early, I suddenly wanted to spare some time to look for the cat again though I had little hope. I told myself, “If I still fail to find him this time, I won’t look for him again.” Then, I decided to walk to the next bus stop to look for him around. Minutes later, suddenly, a dirty and weak cat sitting by a tree caught my eye. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 My eyes widened, and I was surprised to find it was just our cat. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Encouraged, I rushed to the bus stop and decided not to give up the part-time job. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: My eyes widened, and I was surprised to find it was just our cat. Excited, I walked right up to him. While I carried him in my arms, he pushed his dirty face into mine. I wept with joy because I had found my cat. I turned around and took him to rush home. Seeing me carrying our cat, my mother was surprised. When I showed him to her, she said, “Just as I told you, a miracle may happen as long as you don’t give up.” This time, I nodded and smiled. Encouraged, I rushed to the bus stop and decided not to give up the part-time job. “Maybe it’ll indeed change me if I stick to it.” I told myself while heading towards the restaurant. Still feeling a little tired and afraid while I was working that day, I was better than before. And I continued doing the job. Eventually, I miraculously found I dared to look directly at the customers and communicate with them with a confident smile. My parents were happy about my changes. When my job ended that summer, I wrote a sentence in my journal: “Don’t give up before a miracle happens.” 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者13岁时很害羞，不敢在人前说话，也不善于与人交流。父母很担心，所以他们在暑假给作者介绍了一份餐馆的兼职工作，希望能有所帮助。作者一开始很羞涩，但是因为一只猫作者坚持了下来。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我睁大了眼睛，惊讶地发现那只是我们家的猫”可知，第一段可描写作者发现了那只猫。 ②由第二段首句内容“我受到了鼓舞，冲到公交车站，决定不放弃这份兼职工作”可知，第二段可描写作者坚持完成了工作。 2.续写线索：发现猫——带回家——惊讶——不放弃——完成兼职——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 抱着：carry/hug 结束：end/be over 坚持：stick to / persist in 情绪类 惊讶：surprised /astonished 快乐：joy /happiness 【点睛】[高分句型1] When I showed him to her, she said, “Just as I told you, a miracle may happen as long as you don’t give up.”(运用了when引导时间状语从句) [高分句型2] “Maybe it’ll indeed change me if I stick to it.”(运用了if引导条件状语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
