B A family attempting to travel to Australia without flying have arrived in the country after a three-and-a-half-month journey. Shannon Coggins, Theo Simon and their daughter Rosa, 19, left England to begin their 10 thousand-mile trip to Sydney on 16 August. The family was hoping to make it in time for Ms. Coggins’ sister’s wedding on 28 December. The family saved up for several years to pay for the trip, which has cost them much more than air tickets would have done. They travelled through Kazakhstan, China, Laos, Thailand and Indonesia, and finally arrived in Dili, hoping to find a boat to cross the Timor Sea to Darwin, Australia. From there they planned to take a bus to Sydney. “The world is a huge thing, and one personal thing that I do will never make the difference that we need but I want to live by my principles,” Ms. Coggins said. “I want a clean world for my daughter when she’s growing up in the future and the grandchildren. But the world is getting hotter. There is so much going on in Australia here at the moment with floods and fires, and I think we’ve all got to take that seriously.” “All three of us have campaigned in different ways for action on climate change, so we decided our journey to Australia would have to be as low-carbon as practical,” Mr. Simon said. The family arrived on the other side of the world just in time. But they said there were many moments during their journey across continents and oceans when they thought they might not make it to Australia. A conflict between Azerbaijan and Armenia, and the danger of travelling through Iran, forced them on a four day detour (绕行) through Russia where Mr. Simon almost get arrested. “It hasn’t always been easy, but it was worth it”, Mr. Simon added. “We want to keep this beautiful planet, don’t we?” 4. Why did the family travel to Sydney? A. To take a global tour. B. To attend a wedding. C. To explore the nature. D. To advocate saving energy. 5. Why did the family decide to take on the journey without flying? A. They couldn’t afford the air tickets. B. They joined a nationwide campaign. C. They were afraid of the terrible weather. D. They tried to reduce their carbon footprints. 6. What can be inferred from paragraph 5? A Mr. Simon was arrested when going through Russia. B. The family was discontent with the adventurous trip. C. The family’s journey was not quite straightforward. D. The family didn’t manage to reach Australia at last. 7. How does Mr. Simon think about the travel? A. Tough but worthwhile. B. Smooth but expensive. C. Relaxing and incredible. D. Inappropriate and disappointed. C There’s been an enormous amount of progress in language-generating AI over the past couple of years. OpenAI’s GPT-3, for example, is a language generator that’s been trained on 570 GB of text, and is able to write convincing essays. Google, of course, is working on language generators too, and its latest one helps you write like a legendary poet. Google’s new AI tool, Verse by Verse, allows users to compose a poem using “suggestions” from classic American poets. The AI generates these suggestions based on what it’s collected from reading the poets’ oeuvres. That is, the program uses machine-learning algorithms (算法) to identify the language patterns of a particular poet’s work, then applies those to text it generates as the suggestions. The tool works by allowing users to select from 22 American poets for the suggestions, including legends like Walt Whitman, Emily Dickinson, and Edgar Allen Poe. After a user has selected up to three poets, they then pick the type of poem they’d like to write. The program offers various poetic forms, and even allows users to select the number of syllables per line. Users then give the program a first line, and AI generates the rest of the poem. The AI makes suggestions line by line, however, making it more interactive than other top language generator s out there. As far as results, they’re interesting, but not nearly as impressive as GPT-3’s writings. According to Google engineer Dave Uthus, “The system was trained to have a general understanding of what lines of verse would best follow a previous line of verse. So even if you write on topics not commonly seen in classic poetry, the system will try its best to make lines that are relevant. The widely varying degrees of Verse by Verse output quality show that while good lyrical gems (宝石) may occasionally emerge, further work by the AI team remains to be done.” 8. What is the purpose of the first paragraph? A. To introduce a new AI tool for writing poetry. B. To compare different language-generating tools. C. To discuss the progress of langauge-generators. D. To analyze the latest essays of OpenAI’s GPT-3. 9. What does the underlined word “oeuvres” mean in paragraph 2? A. Suggestions. B. Works. C. Messages. D. Patterns. 10. What can the Verse by Verse tool do? A. Collect poems for inspiration. B. Give the program a starting line. C. Generate different poetic forms. D. Compose poems as good as GPT-3. 11. What is Dave Uthus’s attitude to the capability of Verse by Verse tool? A. Doubtful. B. Objective. C. Puzzled. D. Confident. D A physical checkup often begins with a series of questions: What foods do you eat? Do you smoke? Getting any exercise? A new research suggests another telling indicator could be added to that list: What was your college major? The study finds one’s chosen field of college study is a statistically significant predictor of health in midlife. The researchers find four majors associated with the best midlife health are architecture/engineering, biology/life sciences, business, and — here’s a surprise — communications/journalism. Perhaps chasing after big stories keeps us journalists in shape. It has long been established that people with more education tend to be healthier. But does one’s major matter? To find out, the researchers analyzed data from the nationally representative American Community Survey. Their sample consisted of 3.7 million United States-born adults between the ages of 45 and 64—the time of life when physical functioning problems start to appear. Participants noted whether they had difficulty walking or climbing stairs, dressing or bathing. A “yes” answer in any of those categories resulted in a grade of relatively poor health. The researchers focused on the 667,362 participants who earned a bachelor’s degree, but went no further in their education. They noted each person’s college major, which they placed into one of 15 categories. They found substantial differences in health across majors. Two majors are particularly disadvantaged in midlife. The chances of poor health are 1.9 times greater among psychology/social work and law/public policy majors compared to business majors. The researchers argue this is likely due to several factors. Psychology majors tend to suffer from high unemployment and low earnings. Law/public policy majors often enter the field of law enforcement (执行). The researchers say that they have discovered associations, not proof of causality (因果关系). But they make a convincing case that some majors lead people to live healthier lifestyle s than others. Their findings might even inspire a warning country song: Mammas, don’t let your babies grow up to be psychology majors. 12. What can be learned from the first paragraph? A. Smoking can lead to poor health. B. Diet is more important than exercise. C. Physical checkups keep you healthy. D. College major could be added to a checkup list. 13. How do researchers draw their conclusion? A. By doing face-to-face interviews. B. By following participants’ daily routines. C. By doing medical examinations. D. By analyzing the representative data. 14. Which major is most likely bad for midlife health according to the researchers? A. Engineering. B. Business. C. Psychology. D. Journalism. 15. What is the best title of the passage? A. Your college major predicts midlife health. B. Your major can influence your career interests. C. The annual physical checkup is necessary to life. D. People with more education tend to be healthier. 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。 HOW TO DO HARD THINGS It’s an inconvenient truth that the road to success isn’t a secret.

A small figure sat at the corner of the room surrounded by a cloud of misery (痛苦) as he had been forbidden to go out by his mother for a whole day but he didn’t make a serious mistake. This young boy studied in the local school and dreamed to be an artist but his mother was against his dream. She thought the profession of artist couldn’t aid a person to meet his daily expenses. The boy didn’t want his mother to worry as he knew about the hard work his mother did in order to survive after his father died in an accident. As each day passed his dream became more passionate and practiced more. One day the young boy wandered in the hill to gather inspiration from the nature. Then he stopped at a picturesque spot and watched those green grass at the bottom, but after a few seconds he fell asleep. In his dream he was creating a master piece of art that shook down the whole world. After some time he woke up and went back. The following day he read about a painting competition that was being held in the town. He got the perfect opportunity to fulfill his desire but he didn’t have the courage to ask his mother for money to buy acrylic paints (丙烯颜料) and some brushes for the competition. In the evening when his mother returned from work, he saw that his mother had a few notes and that money would be enough for him to buy those materials. The next morning before his mom woke up he quietly took the money and headed to the place where the competition was being held. As the competition began, he was quite nervous but he calmed down after a few seconds. He drew the place that he saw in his dream. He was so focused at his own work that he lost the track of time but he submitted his work just a couple of seconds before the end. 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。 When he went back home, he was frightened to see his mother. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ After a week, there was a call for the child from the competition. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 1-5 BACBC 6-10 ABCAC 11-15 AACAB 16-20 CBCAA 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024年河北承德高二下学期5月联考 英 语 试 题 注意事项： 1.答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号等填写在答题卡上。 2.回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 3.考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 考试时间为120分钟，满分150分 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项，并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

Shannon Coggins, Theo Simon and their daughter Rosa, 19, left England to begin their 10 thousand-mile trip to Sydney on 16 August. The family was hoping to make it in time for Ms. Coggins’ sister’s wedding on 28 December. The family saved up for several years to pay for the trip, which has cost them much more than air tickets would have done. They travelled through Kazakhstan, China, Laos, Thailand and Indonesia, and finally arrived in Dili, hoping to find a boat to cross the Timor Sea to Darwin, Australia. From there they planned to take a bus to Sydney. “The world is a huge thing, and one personal thing that I do will never make the difference that we need but I want to live by my principles,” Ms. Coggins said. “I want a clean world for my daughter when she’s growing up in the future and the grandchildren. But the world is getting hotter. There is so much going on in Australia here at the moment with floods and fires, and I think we’ve all got to take that seriously.” “All three of us have campaigned in different ways for action on climate change, so we decided our journey to Australia would have to be as low-carbon as practical,” Mr. Simon said. The family arrived on the other side of the world just in time. But they said there were many moments during their journey across continents and oceans when they thought they might not make it to Australia. A conflict between Azerbaijan and Armenia, and the danger of travelling through Iran, forced them on a four day detour (绕行) through Russia where Mr. Simon almost get arrested. “It hasn’t always been easy, but it was worth it”, Mr. Simon added. “We want to keep this beautiful planet, don’t we?” 4.

The family’s journey was not quite straightforward. D. The family didn’t manage to reach Australia at last. 7. How does Mr. Simon think about the travel? A. Tough but worthwhile. B. Smooth but expensive. C. Relaxing and incredible. D. Inappropriate and disappointed. 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. C 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文为记叙文，主要讲述Simon一家不坐飞机低碳旅行去悉尼的经历。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“The family was hoping to make it in time for Ms. Coggins’ sister’s wedding on 28 December. (这家人希望能赶上12月28日考金斯姐姐的婚礼)”可知，这家人去悉尼是为了参加一场婚礼。故选B。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段““All three of us have campaigned in different ways for action on climate change, so we decided our journey to Australia would have to be as low-carbon as practical,” Mr. Simon said. (“我们三个人都以不同的方式为应对气候变化采取行动，所以我们决定，我们的澳大利亚之旅必须尽可能低碳，”西蒙说)”可知，这家人去澳大利亚不坐飞机，是为了减少碳足迹。故选D。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“The family arrived on the other side of the world just in time.

(这家人及时赶到了世界的另一边。但他们说，在穿越大陆和海洋的旅程中，有很多时候他们认为自己可能无法到达澳大利亚。阿塞拜疆和亚美尼亚之间的冲突，以及穿越伊朗的危险，迫使他们绕道俄罗斯四天，西蒙先生差点被逮捕)”可知，这家人的旅行并不是一帆风顺的。故选C。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段““It hasn’t always been easy, but it was worth it”, Mr. Simon added. “We want to keep this beautiful planet, don’t we?” (“这并不总是那么容易，但这是值得的，”西蒙补充道。“我们想要保护这个美丽的星球，不是吗？”)”可知，西蒙认为这趟旅程虽然艰难但很值得。故选A。 C There’s been an enormous amount of progress in language-generating AI over the past couple of years. OpenAI’s GPT-3, for example, is a language generator that’s been trained on 570 GB of text, and is able to write convincing essays. Google, of course, is working on language generators too, and its latest one helps you write like a legendary poet. Google’s new AI tool, Verse by Verse, allows users to compose a poem using “suggestions” from classic American poets. The AI generates these suggestions based on what it’s collected from reading the poets’ oeuvres. That is, the program uses machine-learning algorithms (算法) to identify the language patterns of a particular poet’s work, then applies those to text it generates as the suggestions. The tool works by allowing users to select from 22 American poets for the suggestions, including legends like Walt Whitman, Emily Dickinson, and Edgar Allen Poe. After a user has selected up to three poets, they then pick the type of poem they’d like to write. The program offers various poetic forms, and even allows users to select the number of syllables per line. Users then give the program a first line, and AI generates the rest of the poem. The AI makes suggestions line by line, however, making it more interactive than other top language generator s out there. As far as results, they’re interesting, but not nearly as impressive as GPT-3’s writings. According to Google engineer Dave Uthus, “The system was trained to have a general understanding of what lines of verse would best follow a previous line of verse. So even if you write on topics not commonly seen in classic poetry, the system will try its best to make lines that are relevant. The widely varying degrees of Verse by Verse output quality show that while good lyrical gems (宝石) may occasionally emerge, further work by the AI team remains to be done.” 8. What is the purpose of the first paragraph? A. To introduce a new AI tool for writing poetry. B. To compare different language-generating tools. C. To discuss the progress of langauge-generators. D. To analyze the latest essays of OpenAI’s GPT-3. 9. What does the underlined word “oeuvres” mean in paragraph 2? A Suggestions. B. Works. C. Messages. D. Patterns. 10. What can the Verse by Verse tool do? A. Collect poems for inspiration. B. Give the program a starting line. C. Generate different poetic forms. D. Compose poems as good as GPT-3. 11. What is Dave Uthus’s attitude to the capability of Verse by Verse tool? A. Doubtful. B. Objective. C. Puzzled. D. Confident. 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. C 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文为说明文，介绍谷歌的新人工智能工具可帮助您像一位传奇诗人一样写诗。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Google, of course, is working on language generators too, and its latest one helps you write like a legendary poet(当然，谷歌也在开发语言生成器，其最新的一个功能是帮助你像传奇诗人一样写作)”可知，首段的功能是引出文章话题——写诗的人工智能工具，故选A。 【9题详解】 词语猜测题。根据第二段“The AI generates these suggestions based on what it’s collected from reading the poets’…(这个AI根据它从阅读诗人……中收集的信息来生成这些建议)”可知，人工智能根据从阅读诗人的作品中收集的信息生成这些建议，故选B。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“The program offers various poetic forms, and even allows users to select the number of syllables per line.( 这个程序提供了多种诗歌形式，甚至允许用户选择每行的音节数)”可知，该程序提供多种诗歌形式，甚至允许用户选择每行的音节数，故选C。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“while good lyrical gems may occasionally emerge, further work by the AI team remains to be done.（虽然好的抒情诗歌偶尔会出现，但人工智能团队的进一步工作仍有待完成）”，可知虽然好的抒情诗歌偶尔会出现，但人工智能团队的进一步工作仍有待完成，可推理出Dave Uthus的态度是客观的，故选B。 D A physical checkup often begins with a series of questions: What foods do you eat? Do you smoke? Getting any exercise? A new research suggests another telling indicator could be added to that list: What was your college major? The study finds one’s chosen field of college study is a statistically significant predictor of health in midlife. The researchers find four majors associated with the best midlife health are architecture/engineering, biology/life sciences, business, and — here’s a surprise — communications/journalism. Perhaps chasing after big stories keeps us journalists in shape. It has long been established that people with more education tend to be healthier. But does one’s major matter? To find out, the researchers analyzed data from the nationally representative American Community Survey. Their sample consisted of 3.7 million United States-born adults between the ages of 45 and 64—the time of life when physical functioning problems start to appear. Participants noted whether they had difficulty walking or climbing stairs, dressing or bathing. A “yes” answer in any of those categories resulted in a grade of relatively poor health. The researchers focused on the 667,362 participants who earned a bachelor’s degree, but went no further in their education. They noted each person’s college major, which they placed into one of 15 categories. They found substantial differences in health across majors. Two majors are particularly disadvantaged in midlife. The chances of poor health are 1.9 times greater among psychology/social work and law/public policy majors compared to business majors. The researchers argue this is likely due to several factors. Psychology majors tend to suffer from high unemployment and low earnings. Law/public policy majors often enter the field of law enforcement (执行). The researchers say that they have discovered associations, not proof of causality (因果关系). But they make a convincing case that some majors lead people to live healthier lifestyle s than others. Their findings might even inspire a warning country song: Mammas, don’t let your babies grow up to be psychology majors. 12. What can be learned from the first paragraph? A. Smoking can lead to poor health. B. Diet is more important than exercise. C. Physical checkups keep you healthy. D. College major could be added to a checkup list. 13. How do researchers draw their conclusion? A. By doing face-to-face interviews. B. By following participants’ daily routines. C. By doing medical examinations. D. By analyzing the representative data. 14. Which major is most likely bad for midlife health according to the researchers? A. Engineering. B. Business. C. Psychology. D. Journalism. 15. What is the best title of the passage? A. Your college major predicts midlife health. B. Your major can influence your career interests. C. The annual physical checkup is necessary to life. D. People with more education tend to be healthier. 【答案】12. D 13. D 14. C 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文为说明文，主要介绍了新研究发现大学专业可以对中年时期的健康产生影响。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“A new research suggests another telling indicator could be added to that list: What was your college major? The study finds one’s chosen field of college study is a statistically significant predictor of health in midlife(一项新研究表明，可以在该列表中添加另一个显著的指标：你的大学专业是什么？研究发现，一个人选择的大学学习领域是中年健康的一个统计学上显著的预测因素)”可知，大学所学专业也可以被添加到体检中。故选D项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“To find out, the researchers analyzed data from the nationally representative American Community Survey(为了找出答案，研究人员分析了具有全国代表性的美国社区调查的数据)”可知，研究者们分析了有代表性的数据。故选D项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第五段“The chances of poor health are 1.9 times greater among psychology/social work and law/public policy majors compared to business majors(与商学专业的学生相比，心理学/社会工作和法律/公共政策专业的学生患健康不良的几率要高出1.9倍。)”可知，心理学专业最有可能不利于中年健康。故选C项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段的描述：“A new research suggests another telling indicator could be added to that list: What was your college major? (这项新研究表明，另一个可能的指标可以添加到这个列表中：你的大学专业是什么？)”、第五段“The researchers focused on the 667,362 participants who earned a bachelor’s degree, but went no further in their education.(研究人员关注的是667,362名获得学士学位但没有继续深造的参与者)”以及最后一段“The researchers say that they have discovered associations, not proof of causality (因果关系). But they make a convincing case that some majors lead people to live healthier lifestyle s than others.( 研究人员表示，他们发现了一些关联，但并非因果关系的证据。但他们提出了一个令人信服的观点，即某些专业的学生比其他专业的学生更倾向于过上更健康的生活方式)”可知，本文主要讲的是大学专业可能是预测中年健康的一个重要因素。因此，选项A“Your college major predicts midlife health.”最能概括文章的主题。故选A项。 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。 HOW TO DO HARD THINGS It’s an inconvenient truth that the road to success isn’t a secret.

A small figure sat at the corner of the room surrounded by a cloud of misery (痛苦) as he had been forbidden to go out by his mother for a whole day but he didn’t make a serious mistake. This young boy studied in the local school and dreamed to be an artist but his mother was against his dream. She thought the profession of artist couldn’t aid a person to meet his daily expenses. The boy didn’t want his mother to worry as he knew about the hard work his mother did in order to survive after his father died in an accident. As each day passed his dream became more passionate and practiced more. One day the young boy wandered in the hill to gather inspiration from the nature. Then he stopped at a picturesque spot and watched those green grass at the bottom, but after a few seconds he fell asleep. In his dream he was creating a master piece of art that shook down the whole world. After some time he woke up and went back. The following day he read about a painting competition that was being held in the town. He got the perfect opportunity to fulfill his desire but he didn’t have the courage to ask his mother for money to buy acrylic paints (丙烯颜料) and some brushes for the competition. In the evening when his mother returned from work, he saw that his mother had a few notes and that money would be enough for him to buy those materials. The next morning before his mom woke up he quietly took the money and headed to the place where the competition was being held. As the competition began, he was quite nervous but he calmed down after a few seconds. He drew the place that he saw in his dream. He was so focused at his own work that he lost the track of time but he submitted his work just a couple of seconds before the end. 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。 When he went back home, he was frightened to see his mother. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ After a week, there was a call for the child from the competition. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】When he went back home he was frightened to see his mother. He dared not look at his mother as she was boiling with anger. His lips quivered and voice didn’t came out but somehow he managed to gather up the courage and told his mother the truth. His mother blamed him for wasting money to buy those useless things. However, seeing the young boy’s persistence, the mother also wonder if she was wrong. After a week, there was a call for the child from the competition. As soon as his mother picked up the phone and listened, her eyes widened in awe and that phone call left his mother speechless. After the phone, the mother told the boy it was wonderful news from the competition saying that he won the first prize worth of $300. His mother realized that she was wrong and apologized. From then on she no longer stopped the boy desiring to be an artist and supported him in his every step. 【解析】 【导语】本文以事件发展为线索展开，讲述了小男孩梦想成为艺术家，尽管母亲反对，他仍然坚持练习，并参加了一个绘画比赛，最终获得了第一名。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“当他回到家，看到他的妈妈时，他感到害怕。”可知，第一段可描写男孩回家后面对母亲的情景，以及他如何向母亲坦白自己的行为。 ②由第二段首句内容“一周后，比赛给这个孩子打来了电话。”可知，第二段可描写男孩在比赛中获奖的消息传来，以及这个消息对他和他的母亲产生的影响。 2.续写线索：回家的害怕——坦白真相——母亲的态度转变——获奖的消息——母亲的认错和支持 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①坦白：confess/tell the truth ②支持：support/encourage ③买：buy/purchase 情绪类 ①害怕：frightened/scared ②愤怒：angry/furious 【点睛】[高分句型1].
