When he started to slowly open his eyes,and there was a kid coming at him,about his height.He noticed the boy's clenched fist,at first he thought the kid was prepared for a fight. However,the kid surprised him by opening his hand to show the single dollar bill he had held. clenched fist “Excuse me,sir,are you homeless?If you are,here's a dollar,”the boy said,and explained that he earned the dollar by getting good grades. Although it was his only money,he was eager to give it to someone he believed needed it more than him. “I always wanted to help a homeless person,and I finally had the opportunity,”the boy said. In fact,the person the boy thought was homeless turned out to be the owner of a local sporting goods store.He has built and sold several outdoor companies worth millions. Impressed by the boy's generous(慷慨的)act,Matt invited the boy for a snack and spoke with his father.He leamed the boy's name was Kelvin.Later,as a reward for Kelvin's generous act,Matt invited him to a shopping spree at his store,Buck Feather.

The boy's generous act deeply moved Matt.“If you give,you're actually going to get more out of that,”the rich man said.“I couldn't understand that as a kid.And if we can spread that around,everything will change.” 24.What did the boy do?

D.Active attitude toward life can change a person. C Can a machine think?Can a computer answer questions in a human-like way?How can you tell if you are talking to a computer? New computer programs called language models have gotten very good at copying people.These artificial intelligence(Al)programs analyze millions of sentences from books and websites to learn hidden patterns in language.It's exciting to see AI making realistic sentences.But there are also problems with AI-made texts.People have used AI-made texts to cheat on tests.It can be really hard to tell if you're talking to a person or a computer. We wanted to learn more about Al.So we called up 4,600 participants(参与者)for a study.We told the participants that they were using a website where some people wrote their own biographies( 传 记 ) ,and some people used AI to write theirs.Each participant rated 16 texts,half of which were AI-made.They then rated each text on a 5-point scale from“definitely AI”to“definitely human”.The participants were largely unable to tell whether they were people-made or AI-made.Their answers were wrong about 49%of the time. We found that people were following a few rules of thumb(经验规则).When people saw a meaningless or repetitive text,they were more likely to say it came from Al. Truly,an AI text was more likely to have these qualities.But some rules of thumb gave wrong answers!People thought bad grammar and unusual word choices appear in an AI text,but they were actually more likely to come from human-made text.And when people saw contractions(like“don't”or“won't”)they thought it was a sign of a human writer, but actually,AI was more likely to use such words. These are often wrong,which means that people are likely to be cheated.A person sends emails to people pretending to be someone trustworthy.The email might say“Hi,I work for your bank!You need to log in and fix something in your account.”With AI,the person could make different emails to try to pretend one that's very believable. There is a lot of useful information online,and a lot of fun things,too.But there are also a lot of ways to get in trouble.We can never know who is on the other side when talking to someone on the Internet —it may not even be a human!That's why it's important not to just rely on your gut feeling,but check the website URL and author information.If something seems strange,tell your parents or a responsible adult about it! 27.The researchers did the study to find out A.who can write biographies faster,human or Al B.whether Al can answer questions in a human-like way C.which biographies were better,the human-made or the Al-made D.whether we can tell the human-made biographies from the AI-made 28.What do we know from the passage? A.Engineers are developing AI's copying skills. B.The participants use a website to write their biographies. C.There are more wrong sentence structures in AI-made texts. D.AI-made texts are likely to choose the same words to express. 29.What is the writer's main purpose in writing the passage? A.To compare AI's writing with human's. B.To study the reasons of popularity of AI use. C.To improve our judgement online in the age of AI. D.To discuss the main characteristics of Al-made writing. D When you are supposed to be listening to your teacher,you might be looking out of the window,making plans for after school,or thinking about nothing at all!If so,you're experiencing mind wandering. Thinking about anything other than the task you should be focusing on is called mind wandering.It can happen on purpose or by accident.Some studies find that people may spend nearly half their day mind wandering. The effects of mind wandering can vary a lot.Sometimes there are no effects at all. Think about drinking a glass of water:this task is simple and happens often,allowing you to drink without much effort or spilling(溢出),even if your mind is wandering.This kind of behavior is automatic.Other times,mind wandering has minor effects.If you briefly(短 暂的)lose focus on your teacher's voice,you may not hear what was said;but by rapidly focusing on the teacher's voice again,you can get back easily.Finally,there are examples when mind wandering can have very serious results.Imagine crossing the street or riding a bike without focusing on your surroundings. Much evidence suggests that mind wandering is not a rare mistake,but actually a very normal part of the way the mind works! So why do we mind wander?The likely reason is that mind wandering serves useful purposes.Mind wandering can help in problem solving,creative thinking,and planning for the future.Even when you are not trying to think about anything,your mind is still working in the background.Without trying,your mind might start focusing on memories that could help solve a problem in the present.This can be when creative or unusual ideas are made! Also,mind wandering can help with learning and memory.Mind wandering helps strengthen recent memories.This benefit is strongest when the memories are about yourself Finally,mind wandering offers a time to“rest”and prepare for upcoming thinking.It prevents new information from entering the mind and using up limited attention to deal with the new information.When our minds wander,creative ideas can be built and used to plan or solve problems.When our minds wander,our attention can also focus on useful information,like thinking about plans for later in the day. The mind actually does a lot when it wanders!So,do not see mind wandering as a mistake.There are many wonderful things in the world that you can notice when you let your mind wander.So,let yourself gaze out the window or stare at clouds,or even close your eyes and simply"be". 30.You will most probably experience mind wandering when you . A.hear nothing with the television on so loud B.pick out your favorite one among many clothes C.plan a memorable birthday party for your friend D.think hard to answer the teacher's question in class 31.The writer probably agrees that A.mind wandering can make your memories deeper B.mind wandering has different effects on your daily life C.you can rely on mind wandering to get what you want D.the more wonderful things you wander,the more beautiful life you will have 32.The underlined word"rare "in Paragraph 4 probably means" ” A.common B.serious C.unacceptable D.unusual 33.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A.Mind Wandering:Can Be a Good Thing B.Mind Wandering:Happening All the Time C.Mind Wandering:A Great Way to Create New Things D.Mind Wandering:Helping You Understand the World Better 2023年北京市平谷区中考二模英语试题 三、阅读理解 Many students ask for advice about how to improve their English. Here are three questions from three students and the advice from Diana at New Standard Magazine. Please find the proper advice for each of the students. Li Hao: “ I like watching English films and listening to English songs, but I don’t understand very much. What can I do?” 21 Wang Fan: Our school has a teacher from the US. I am shy and I am afraid to speak to her. What should I do?” 22 Zhang Lei: “ I write down new words, but I forget them quickly. How can I remember them?” 23 A．English spelling is difficult. You need to have a good knowledge of the way that words are written. For example, remember that the word “ letter” has double “t” in it. B．Watching films and listening to songs are great ways to learn English. Watch and listen several times, and guess the meanings of the new words. I also advise you to talk about the films or songs with your friends. C．You can say, “Hello! How are you?” “Do you like China?” These are good ways to start a conversation. And before you begin, you should smile at her. Remember this: Don’t be shy. Just try. D．Do not worry. It is natural to forget new words! I suggest you write four or five words a day on pieces of paper and place them in your room. Read the words when you see them, and try to use them. It was a beautiful day, and Lily was excited to go on a school field trip to the zoo. She had been looking forward to this day for weeks, and nothing could dampen her spirits （影响兴致）. As she and her classmates walked through the zoo, they came across a group of monkeys. Lily was attracted by the monkeys and started taking pictures with her phone. As she was about to move on, she noticed one monkey that seemed different. It wasn’t moving around or playing with the others. Instead, it was sitting alone, looking sad and lonely. Lily couldn’t help but feel sorry for the monkey. She wondered why it was alone and why it seemed so sad. As she walked away, the image of the lonely monkey stayed with her, and she couldn’t shake off the feeling that something wasn’t right. The next day, Lily decided to do some research about monkeys and their behavior. She learned that monkeys are social animals and need to be with others of their kind to be happy and healthy. She also learned that many monkeys in captivity （圈养）suffer from loneliness and depression. Lily couldn’t stop thinking about the lonely monkey in the zoo. She knew she had to do something to help. She reached out to the zoo and asked if there was anything they could do for the monkey. The zookeeper explained that they were aware of the monkey’s situation and were working on finding it a monkey for company. Lily was less worried to hear that the zoo was taking actions, but she didn’t stop there. She started an event at her school to raise money for the zoo to build a monkey sanctuary （保护区）. She talked to her classmates, teachers, and parents, and everyone was eager to help. Within a few weeks, Lily had raised enough money to build a monkey sanctuary at the zoo. The monkey from the zoo was moved to the sanctuary and was soon joined by other monkeys, and they all seemed happy and satisfied. 24．What drew Lily’s attention when she took pictures? A．Monkeys’ behavior. B．Her smart phone. C．A sad and lonely monkey. D．A group of monkeys. 25．Why did she do some research about monkeys and their behavior? A．To know more about monkeys. B．To help the zookeeper. C．To start an event at her school. D．To raise money for the zoo. 26．From Lily’s experience, we learn that she ________. A．cares about animals B．hates field trips C．loves money-raising D．likes to take photos Students may feel a little bit nervous when they are faced with an exam. They may start to sweat and grow short of breath. They may even become so fearful that they can’t focus or think. This is known as test anxiety, which can stop students in their tracks. Stress causes different levels of anxiety. Good stress causes just enough worry to get someone to focus on a task and do it well. Bad stress, however, does just the opposite. Instead of helping someone to focus, bad stress may make a person not able to think or focus clearly. This stress response hurts more than it helps. So students should learn how to deal with anxiety and do well on exams in different ways. The first step involves keeping good stress from turning into bad stress. The best way to do this is to prepare the mind and the body. Instead of treating a test as a big challenge, you can use it as a motivator（动力）to learn. Prepare by making sure you understand what you will be tested on. This will help you do well. The next step is knowing about your body and recognizing the signs of anxiety before it happens. Metacognition can help you achieve this. Metacognition is self-awareness of what the mind and body are up to in the moment. One way to think of it is by placing yourself on a “mental balcony” and evaluating yourself as if observing from above. Recognizing your own stress signals can help you figure out how to keep from experiencing increased anxiety. Relaxation fights anxiety. If you find yourself really panicked （惊慌失措）, take a moment to step back. Stop and close your eyes. Take deep breaths and think of a peaceful place to calm yourself down. As you relax, remind yourself that you have prepared and that all will be well. Remember, we all experience anxiety at times. Whether you’re taking a test, performing, or competing, you can apply anxiety—reducing strategies to keep cool. Using stress as a motivator instead of an obstacle can keep you from getting overly anxious. Coping with anxiety effectively will help you be your best for the test and for any other challenges you face. 27．According to the passage, which of the following would reduce test anxiety? A．Keeping questions in mind. B．Placing yourself on a balcony. C．Allowing yourself to calm down. D．Focusing on your task all the time. 28．What can we learn from the passage? A．Stress signals can keep away test anxiety. B．Bad stress prevents a person from focusing or thinking. C．Using stress as an obstacle helps you do well in exams. D．Treating a test as a big challenge can reduce test anxiety. 29．What is the passage mainly about? A．The ways to reduce test anxiety. B．The importance of having exams. C．The introduction of different kinds of stress. D．The reasons to turn bad stress into good stress. Teens with a greater sense of purpose may be happier and more satisfied with life than their peers who feel less purposeful. Studies have suggested that a sense of purpose in life is important for adults’ wellbeing and has many positive effects on their physical and mental health. However, less is known about its effects in teens who are struggling to develop their characters and plan for their future, according to the study led by educational psychology professor Kaylin Ratner. “Teens who scored high on purposefulness were more satisfied with their lives and experienced more positive emotions and fewer negative emotions, ” said Ratner. “When these teens felt more purposeful than usual, they also tended to experience greater wellbeing.” The project also examined some behavioral and cognitive （认知）patterns related to these teens’ sense of purpose in life and their overall happiness. Each day for 70 days, the participants—teens ages 14—19 in a 10-week Learning Challenge project of their choosing—were asked to rate how purposeful they felt, how satisfied they were with their lives and the levels of positive and negative emotions they were feeling. “At the beginning, the participants completed a 28-item survey that assessed （评估） their levels of sub-clinical autistic traits（亚临床自闭症特征）. A higher score suggested the teen had greater numbers of these traits,” Ratner said. Then the participants completed assessments each day, rating on a five-point scale how purposeful they currently felt. Ratner’s team calculated the average of these daily scores to determine each teen’s behavioral and cognitive sense of purpose. “Our findings show that when you feel more purposeful than usual, you have better outcomes,” Ratner said. “Purpose is accessible to everyone. What we need to do is to help individuals feel more purposeful from day to day.” They found that the participants with greater levels of sub-clinical autistic traits tended to report higher levels of negative feelings, and lower levels of life satisfaction and positive feelings. However, the strength of the association（联系）between wellbeing and daily purpose was not softened by these traits. “Our study is one of the most consistent（一贯的）examinations of youths’ purposefulness and helps strengthen the beneficial influence it has on their wellbeing,” Ratner said. “It may lead to some purposefulness—promoting interventions to improve the wellbeing of many young people.” 70% of the participants were female. Nearly 31 % were Asian, 22% were African American or Black, 18% were white and 14% were Hispanic. Because the sample was not representative of all teens in the country, however, the findings may not be generalized （普遍化）. 30．Who’s the most likely to have better outcomes according to Rater’s study? A．Jane studies hard but always worries. B．Mary sets a clear goal and makes a plan. C．Peter focuses on the result of his daily work only. D．Tom works fast without paying attention to details. 31．What can we learn from the study mentioned in the passage? A．One’s character links well-being with daily purpose. B．Teens’ wellbeing may benefit from their purposefulness. C．Teens who once had negative feelings scored high on purposefulness. D．A sense of purpose in life is not so important for adults’ wellbeing as for teens’. 32．The underlined words “is accessible to” in Paragraph 8 probably mean ________. A．is new to B．is close to C．is hard to get for D．is easy to get for 33．Which of the following would be the best title of the passage? A．A Sense of Purpose may Have Great Influence on Teens’ Wellbeing B．Scientists Make Studies on How to Have a Sense of Purpose in Life C．Much Attention Should Be Paid to Teens’ Physical and Mental Health D．Negative and Positive Feelings may Have Different Effects on One’s Wellbeing 2022年北京市平谷区中考二模英语试题 三、阅读理解 Susan Since I entered middle school, I have always wanted to become a translator. I can translate Chinese into English so that people in other countries can enjoy Chinese poems and stories. Becoming a translator isn’t easy. It takes great patience and confidence. I hope that I will be able to go to college and become a real translator some day. Jack My dream is to become a successful doctor, helping those sick people and saving their lives. I hope everyone can have an opportunity（机会）to receive wonderful treatments for their illnesses without having to pay much. It is my childhood dream. In order to achieve my dream, I need enough knowledge and experience, so I work hard to improve myself. Anna I love to become a great Fashion Designer. Fashion designing is so much of fun and creative. If I design a costurne and have my signature（签名）on it, the recognition I achieve will go worldwide. Fashion designing does require lots of study and research and I need to be myself unique（独特的）. I must work hard to be ready for the competitions and challenges. David My dream is to be a lawyer. Some people think lawyers are simply out for money, but I believe lawyers have a desire（愿望）to help others, especially those who are unable to defend（维护）themselves. I know becoming a successful lawyer will take much preparation and hard work. I am willing to do what it takes to make my dream come true. 21．Whose dream is to be a doctor? A．Susan’s. B．Jack’s. C．Anna’s. D．David’s. 22．What does David desire to do? A．To help others in defending. B．To be unique worldwide. C．To save people’s lives.

A．patient and confident B．creative and funny C．knowledgeable and experienced D．helpful and careful Anil froze when he saw the poster at school. Culinary Academies of America presents Junior Cooking Camp. He had to go! But he needed money to get there. So, the next morning on Saturday, Anil started to make cookies. Then he put the cookies into bags. Last he wrote Anil’s Cookies on each bag. “Now,” Anil said, “I’ll make my dream come true.” He knocked door-to-door, trying to sell the cookies. He told each neighbor, “I need money for the cooking camp. I want to be a chef.” “Just bought some cookies,” one neighbor said. “On a diet,” the next one said. “No money,” the third admitted. After Anil came home with a lot of good luck wishes but no money, his grandma, Nana, suggested him to drive to John’s Indian Grocery Store. “Cookies?” Mr. John waved his hand. “No sweets. Too many sweets.” He pointed toward some shelves with desserts from India. “But those are canned,” Nana argued. “These are fresh!” “It takes too long to make a fresh paratha (flat bread) and aloo (potato) nowadays.” Mr. John shrugged (耸肩). Anil went back home with Nana. He didn’t want to give up his dream. He thought about how traditional paratha shapes were so boring. Circles, triangles, nothing fun. Why couldn’t he use cookie cutters on paratha dough? As he worked, Nana picked up his parathas one by one. “A car. A cat. A flower? What kind of parathas dough are these?” After some silence, she said, “I should like eating the cat.” “Maybe other people will like them, too.” Anil said. Anil hoped the Indian store would buy some. So they cooked the parathas and brought them to John. He tore off (撕下) a piece of paratha and put into his mouth. “These are more fun for kids.” Anil said. “Parathas for kids?” John slowly nodded his head. “Something new. And delicious. We’ll try them.” A few days later, John called Anil. When Anil hung up, Nana asked, “Well? What did John want?” Anil grinned (咧嘴笑) before hurrying to the kitchen. “Fifty parathas each week! Kids love them! Camp, here I come!” 24．What was Anil’s dream? A．He wanted to go to the cooking camp. B．He hoped people would like his cookies. C．He wanted to get along well with his neighbors. D．He hoped John would agree to cooperate with him. 25．Mr. John refused Anil’s cookies because ________. A．he didn’t have enough money to buy them B．he thought Anil’s cookies were not delicious C．there were too many sweets in his store D．he preferred canned desserts to the cookies 26．What did you think of Anil according to the story? A．Creative and strong-willed. B．Talented and friendly. C．Insistent and helpful. D．Humorous and hard-working. Did you know that some people don’t do their reading assignments? It’s shocking, but it’s true. Some students don’t even read short texts that they are assigned (布置) in class. There are many reasons for this. They may be distracted or bored. They may be unwilling to focus. They may be unconfident readers. Whatever the reason, it has to stop today. Here’s why. Reading stimulates (刺激) your mind. It is like a workout for your brain. When people are old, their muscles begin to get weaker and their strength leaves them. Exercise can prevent this loss. The same thing happens to people’s brains when they get older. Brain power and speed decline with age. Reading strengthens your brain and prevents these declines. You can benefit from reading in the near-term too. Reading provides knowledge. Knowledge is power. Therefore, reading can make you a more powerful person. You can learn to do new things by reading. Do you want to make video games? Do you want to design clothing? Reading can teach you all this and more. But you have to get good at reading, and the only way to get good at something is to practice. Read everything that you can at school, regardless of whether you find it interesting. Reading expands your vocabulary. Even a “boring” text can teach you new words. Having a larger vocabulary will help you better express yourself. You will be able to speak, write, and think more intelligently. What’s boring about that? Do not just discount pay attention to a text because it is unfamiliar (不熟悉的) to you. Each time you read, you are exposed to new ideas and perspectives (视角). Reading can change the way that you understand the world. It can give you a wider perspective on things. It can make you worldlier. You can learn how people live in far away places. You can learn about cultures different from your own. Reading is good for your state of mind. It has a calming effect. It can lower your stress levels and help you relax. You can escape from your troubles for a moment when you read, and it’s a positive escape. So do yourself a favor: the next time you get a reading assignment, take as much as you can from it. Squeeze it for every drop of knowledge that it has. Then move on to the next one. 27．The writer advises you to read everything at school because ________. A．you will love it if you read it enough B．you will get better grades in reading class C．you will make your teacher very happy D．you will learn more new words 28．The writer probably agrees that ________. A．you should pay more attention to the familiar text B．you will feel bored after you think more intelligently C．reading helps you perform on tests and get into top schools D．reading widens your perspective and makes you a better person 29．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A．Reading: Good for the Mind in Many Ways B．Reading: The Key to a Successful Future C．Reading: Improve Your Vocabulary and Grades D．Reading: The Best Way to Improve Your Writing Skills Did you know that humans aren’t the only species (物种) that use language? Bees communicate by dancing. Whales talk to each other by singing. And some apes talk to humans by using American Sign Language. A female gorilla, Koko, was born at the San Francisco Zoo on July 4th, 1971. Koko learned sign language from her trainer, Dr. Penny Patterson. Patterson began teaching sign language to Koko in 1972, when Koko was one year old. Koko must have been a good student, because two years later she moved onto the Stanford University campus with Dr. Patterson. Koko continued to learn on the campus until 1976. That’s when she began living full-time with Patterson’s group, the Gorilla Foundation. Patterson and Koko’s relationship has blossomed ever since. Dr. Patterson says that Koko has mastered sign language and known over 1,000 words, and that Koko makes up new words. For example, Koko didn’t know the sign for ring, so she signed the words finger and bracelet. Dr. Patterson thinks that this shows meaningful and constructive use of language. Not everyone agrees with Dr. Patterson. Some argue that apes like Koko do not understand the meaning of what they are doing. Some people who don’t believe that say that these apes are just performing complex tricks (戏法). For example, if Koko points to an apple and signs red or apple, Dr. Patterson will give her an apple. They argue that Koko does not really know what the sign apple means. She only knows that that if she makes the right motion, one which Dr. Patterson has shown her, then she gets an apple. The debate is unresolved, but one thing is for certain: Koko is an extraordinary ape. It seems like Patterson and Koko have a good relationship, but not everyone agrees with it. Some people believe that Patterson is humanizing the ape. They think that apes should be left in the most natural state possible. Even Dr. Patterson struggles with these feelings. When she was asked if her findings could be duplicated by another group of scientists, she said, “We don’t think that it would be ethical (道德的) to do again.” She went on to argue that animals should not be kept in such unnatural circumstances. As for the future, Dr. Patterson and the Gorilla Foundation would love to get Koko to an ape preserve (保护区) in Maui, but they are having trouble getting the land. So unless you have a few million dollars to spare, Koko’s going to be spending her time in Woodland, California with Dr. Patterson. Koko probably doesn’t mind that. If she moved to Hawaii, she’d have to give up her Facebook page and Twitter feed, and she’s got like 50 thousand “likes”. Some may deny (否认) that she knows sign language, but nobody says that she doesn’t know social networking. 30．What is the writer’s main purpose in writing the second paragraph? A．To describe the environment in which Koko lives. B．To tell readers how Dr. Patterson developed Koko’s living skills. C．To advise Patterson to free Koko after she learnt on the campus. D．To make an introduction about Koko and Dr. Patterson’s background. 31．What do we know from the passage? A．Koko has mastered sign language without a doubt. B．Everybody likes how Dr. Patterson has raised Koko. C．Some people think that Koko only signs to get food. D．The Gorilla Foundation has got a land for Koko to stay naturally. 32．What does the underlined word “duplicated” in Paragraph 5 probably mean? A．To disagree with someone. B．To fool them. C．To copy something. D．To be disproven through debate. 33．Which may be the main idea of this passage? A．Bees, whales, and apes like Koko all use language to communicate. B．Koko uses sign language but some think it’s just a trick. C．It is natural for gorillas to learn sign language like humans. D．If you want a lot of “likes” on Facebook, get a talking gorilla. 参考答案 2024年北京市平谷区中考二模英语试题 21.B 22.C 23.A 24.B 25.C 26.A 27.D 28.D 29.C 30.A 31.B 32.D 33.A 2023年北京市平谷区中考二模英语试题 21．B 22．C 23．D 24．C 25．A 26．A 27．C 28．B 29．A 30．B 31．B 32．D 33．A 2022年北京市平谷区中考二模英语试题 21．B 22．A 23．A 24．A 25．C 26．A 27．D 28．D 29．A 30．D 31．C 32．C 33．B 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
