Brooke, 13, prefers fantasy. What they share is the belief that kids are more motivated to read if they relate to a book’s characters. That’s why, in 2020, they started Books Like Me. The nonprofit group supplies teachers with culturally diverse children’s books. So far, Haili and Brooke have given away more than 16,000 books.

C The Equatic Process, a novel carbon removal technology, is getting a major increase, with the world’s largest ocean carbon dioxide removal (OCDR) facility set to be built in Singapore-sparking optimism for what has been regarded as a potential game change r for global climate efforts. On Tuesday, Singapore’s national water agency PUB announced that it was furthering its cooperation with the University of California in Los Angeles and Equatic, a startup founded by UCLA scientists. Together, they plan to build a $20 million plant that removes 4,000 tons of carbon dioxide from the ocean every year through the Equatic Process, which uses electrolysis (电解) to change carbon dioxide in seawater into stable solids. The extracted (提取) carbon dioxide is stored in the form of solid calcium and magnesium-based materials-similar to how seashells are naturally formed — “for at least 10,000 years,” according to a recent press release. And the treated seawater that is pumped back into the ocean would then have the capacity to absorb even more carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Advocates of the Equatic Process say that it would be a big boost for the global fight against climate change. But the technology has also been met with apprehension by some scientists who realize its potential ecological risks and who urge more research and investment into OCDR to better understand both its benefits and dangers. Pang Chee Meng, PUB’s chief engineering and technology officer says that the treated seawater is specially processed before being poured back into the ocean, to “ensure that the ocean chemistry is preserved,” adding that the agency and Equatic will closely monitor the environmental impact of the plant. PUB also says that they are currently exploring the potential for the solid carbonates (碳酸盐) produced by the Equatic Process to be used in the construction industry. And hydrogen, another by-product of the Equatic Process, may be used to power the process itself, the agency adds, or used as a clean energy source to produce electricity. 8. What is the main idea of the text? A. Scientists have agreed to keep global warming at safe levels. B. People have become more optimistic about global climate. C. Singapore will strengthen ties with the University of California. D. Singapore will boost carbon-removal power of the ocean with a new facility. 9. How does the Equatic Process remove carbon dioxide in seawater? A. Building a factory to store seawater. B. Changing the form of carbon dioxide. C. Collecting natural seashells in the ocean. D. Pumping treated seawater back into the ocean. 10. What does the underlined word “apprehension” mean in paragraph 4? A. Support. B. Confirmation. C. Anxiety. D. Underestimate. 11. What does the last paragraph mainly tell us? A. PUB’s measures to guarantee safety. B. How to make use of solid carbonates. C. Dangerous by-products of the Equatic Process. D. Other benefits brought by the Equatic Process.

They didn’t find a place where extra movement stops seeming useful, as far as possible up to 20,000 steps each day. In any case, they likewise assumed that it doesn’t take countless day to day moves toward further develop wellbeing. The edge was even lower-around 2,500 steps each day-while checking out exactly at the risk of dying from cardiovascular sickness. There are a few limitations on the discoveries. The scientists couldn’t completely represent members’ financial situations with in general ways of life, and individuals who were most dynamic likewise had various other sound tendencies that could add to a longer life expectancy. Regardless, the new study joins a lot of different investigations in a similar end: greater development is quite often better, yet a limited quantity is likewise not all that great, but not terrible either than nothing. 12. What is the author’s purpose of writing paragraph 2? A. To bring in the topic of the essay. B. To further explain the study result. C. To indicate his own idea about the topic. D.

She was mother’s favourite, always doing what she was told and never placing a foot wrong. Sometimes I didn’t like her. But she was my younger sister. I couldn’t do anything about it. And on the whole she wasn’t that bad. Two weeks ago, on her birthday, I gave her a goldfish as a present. She loved it, named it Peppy and watched it swim freely in the glass container every day after school. She really enjoyed the delight the little angel brought. But recently I found the goldfish a little listless, staying at the bottom of the container most of the time. One day after lunch, Dolly looked up at Mum and said,“Mum, I want to go to the lake. We go there on Sundays.” “We can’t go today, dear. I have something else to do.” Mother said as she walked towards her and took the bowl away. Dolly looked a little unhappy, with eyebrows frowned. “Shama,” Suddenly, Dolly whispered to me, leaning as close to me as her small frame would allow her while still sitting on the chair. “Would you come with me?” I felt hesitant, but her unfamiliar stubbornness made me curious. What did she want to do at the lake? Still for the red fish? There was red fish in the lake. She had seen some coming to the shore every Sunday. “Are you sure? Mom will be mad if we get caught.” “We’ll come back in time before mom knows it.” Dolly gave a mischievous(调皮的) smile and slid out of her chair. I followed her out of the kitchen and came to the front door. Luckily, it didn’t lock. But as soon as we got ready to force out of the door, Dolly turned back and ran into the house again. I couldn’t shout out her name for fear that Mum could hear me but waited nervously. 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。 A moment later she came back, holding something in her hand. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Half an hour later, we arrived at the lake. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2023-2024学年度第二学期期中考试 高二英语试题 2024.04 （考试时间：120分钟 试卷满分：150分） 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，将答题卡交回。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时，先将答案划在试卷上。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。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.

Over the years, Haili and Brooke have been invited to speak with educators about the importance of culturally diverse books. They’ve also taken books directly to students. At a book fair in Florida, “I was at a table showing kids the books and they were picking them out,”Haili recalls. “They all looked so happy when they found a book that struck a chord with them.” That, of course, is the goal. “I hope, and I think,” Haili says, “that all kids should see themselves represented in books so that they enjoy reading.” 4. What inspired the siblings to start the nonprofit group? A. Their interests in books differed. B. They held common belief in reading. C. Children lacked motivation for reading. D. They needed money to buy favorite books. 5. What can we learn about Books Like Me from paragraph 2? A. It has bought over 16,000 books. B. It’s originally set up in California. C. It has become known nationwide. D. Its donations are mainly from teachers. 6. What is educators’ attitude towards Books Like Me? A Doubtful. B. Supportive. C. Intolerant. D. Unclear. 7. What can we learn from Halli’s words? A. She is proud to give speeches to kids. B. She is critical about children’s books. C. Kids are inspired to create new characters in books. D. Kids enjoy books with characters reflecting themselves. 【答案】4. C 5. C 6. B 7.

That’s why, in 2020, they started Books Like Me.(他们的共同观点是，如果孩子们和书中的人物有联系，他们就更有动力去阅读。这就是为什么他们在2020年创办了“像我一样的书”)”可知，儿童缺乏阅读的动力促使姐弟俩创办了这个非营利组织。故选C。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“As word about their organization has spread, requests have come in from schools nationwide. Teachers and librarians can request a donation from Books Like Me online.(随着他们组织的消息传开，全国各地的学校都发来了请求。教师和图书管理员可以在线请求“像我一样的书”的捐款)”可知，Books Like Me已全国知名。故选C。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Educators say a book can be a mirror, letting kids see themselves in its characters. Or it can be a window, helping kids see from the perspective of characters with backgrounds and experiences different from their own.(教育工作者说，一本书可以是一面镜子，让孩子们从书中的人物身上看到自己。或者它可以是一个窗口，帮助孩子们从与自己背景和经历不同的角色的角度来看)”可知，教育家对《像我这样的书》的态度是支持。故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“They all looked so happy when they found a book that struck a chord with them.(当他们找到一本引起他们共鸣的书时，他们看起来都很高兴)”可知，孩子们喜欢那些能反映自己性格的书。故选D。 C The Equatic Process, a novel carbon removal technology, is getting a major increase, with the world’s largest ocean carbon dioxide removal (OCDR) facility set to be built in Singapore-sparking optimism for what has been regarded as a potential game change r for global climate efforts. On Tuesday, Singapore’s national water agency PUB announced that it was furthering its cooperation with the University of California in Los Angeles and Equatic, a startup founded by UCLA scientists. Together, they plan to build a $20 million plant that removes 4,000 tons of carbon dioxide from the ocean every year through the Equatic Process, which uses electrolysis (电解) to change carbon dioxide in seawater into stable solids. The extracted (提取) carbon dioxide is stored in the form of solid calcium and magnesium-based materials-similar to how seashells are naturally formed — “for at least 10,000 years,” according to a recent press release. And the treated seawater that is pumped back into the ocean would then have the capacity to absorb even more carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Advocates of the Equatic Process say that it would be a big boost for the global fight against climate change. But the technology has also been met with apprehension by some scientists who realize its potential ecological risks and who urge more research and investment into OCDR to better understand both its benefits and dangers. Pang Chee Meng, PUB’s chief engineering and technology officer says that the treated seawater is specially processed before being poured back into the ocean, to “ensure that the ocean chemistry is preserved,” adding that the agency and Equatic will closely monitor the environmental impact of the plant. PUB also says that they are currently exploring the potential for the solid carbonates (碳酸盐) produced by the Equatic Process to be used in the construction industry. And hydrogen, another by-product of the Equatic Process, may be used to power the process itself, the agency adds, or used as a clean energy source to produce electricity. 8. What is the main idea of the text? A. Scientists have agreed to keep global warming at safe levels. B. People have become more optimistic about global climate. C. Singapore will strengthen ties with the University of California. D. Singapore will boost carbon-removal power of the ocean with a new facility. 9. How does the Equatic Process remove carbon dioxide in seawater? A. Building a factory to store seawater. B. Changing the form of carbon dioxide. C. Collecting natural seashells in the ocean. D. Pumping treated seawater back into the ocean. 10. What does the underlined word “apprehension” mean in paragraph 4? A. Support. B. Confirmation. C. Anxiety. D. Underestimate. 11. What does the last paragraph mainly tell us? A. PUB’s measures to guarantee safety. B. How to make use of solid carbonates. C. Dangerous by-products of the Equatic Process. D. Other benefits brought by the Equatic Process. 【答案】8. D 9. B 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了新加坡将通过建设新设施利用Equatic工艺提升海洋碳移除能力，以对抗气候变化。 【8题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“The Equatic Process, a novel carbon removal technology, is getting a major increase, with the world’s largest ocean carbon dioxide removal (OCDR) facility set to be built in Singapore-sparking optimism for what has been regarded as a potential game change r for global climate efforts.(The Equatic Process是一种新型的碳去除技术，它正在大幅增加，世界上最大的海洋二氧化碳去除（OCDR）设施将在新加坡建成，这引发了人们对全球气候努力潜在游戏规则改变的乐观情绪)”以及全文可知，本篇文章主要介绍了新加坡将通过建设新设施利用Equatic工艺提升海洋碳移除能力，以对抗气候变化。故选D。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段的“Together, they plan to build a $20 million plant that removes 4,000 tons of carbon dioxide from the ocean every year through the Equatic Process, which uses electrolysis (电解) to change carbon dioxide in seawater into stable solids.(他们计划共同建造一座耗资2000万美元的工厂，通过The Equatic Process每年从海洋中去除4000吨二氧化碳，该过程使用电解将海水中的二氧化碳转化为稳定的固体)”可知，该过程通过电解改变海水中二氧化碳的形式，使其变成稳定的固体。故选B。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线单词所在的后半句话“by some scientists who realize its potential ecological risks and who urge more research and investment into OCDR to better understand both its benefits and dangers(一些科学家意识到其潜在的生态风险，并敦促对OCDR进行更多的研究和投资，以更好地了解其益处和危险)”可知，一些科学家担心其潜在的生态风险，因此该项技术也遭到了一些科学家的担忧，所以划线的单词“apprehension”在此处应意为“担忧”或“焦虑”，选项C。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“PUB also says that they are currently exploring the potential for the solid carbonates (碳酸盐) produced by the Equatic Process to be used in the construction industry. And hydrogen, another by-product of the Equatic Process, may be used to power the process itself, the agency adds, or used as a clean energy source to produce electricity.(PUB还表示，他们目前正在探索 the Equatic Process生产的固体碳酸盐用于建筑业的潜力。该机构补充道， the Equatic Process的另一种副产品氢气可以用于为过程本身提供动力，也可以用作清洁能源发电)”可知，最后一段提到固体碳酸盐可能用于建筑行业，而氢气可以作为清洁能源使用，这些都是Equatic工艺带来的额外好处。故选D。 【点睛】 D Walking only 4,000 steps each day - not exactly 50% of the 10,000 steps frequently suggested for keeping a functioning way of life- might be sufficient to assist with expanding your life, according to a study distributed in the European Journal of Preventive Cardiology.

She was mother’s favourite, always doing what she was told and never placing a foot wrong. Sometimes I didn’t like her. But she was my younger sister. I couldn’t do anything about it. And on the whole she wasn’t that bad. Two weeks ago, on her birthday, I gave her a goldfish as a present. She loved it, named it Peppy and watched it swim freely in the glass container every day after school. She really enjoyed the delight the little angel brought. But recently I found the goldfish a little listless, staying at the bottom of the container most of the time. One day after lunch, Dolly looked up at Mum and said,“Mum, I want to go to the lake. We go there on Sundays.” “We can’t go today, dear. I have something else to do.” Mother said as she walked towards her and took the bowl away. Dolly looked a little unhappy, with eyebrows frowned. “Shama,” Suddenly, Dolly whispered to me, leaning as close to me as her small frame would allow her while still sitting on the chair. “Would you come with me?” I felt hesitant, but her unfamiliar stubbornness made me curious. What did she want to do at the lake? Still for the red fish? There was red fish in the lake. She had seen some coming to the shore every Sunday. “Are you sure? Mom will be mad if we get caught.” “We’ll come back in time before mom knows it.” Dolly gave a mischievous(调皮的) smile and slid out of her chair. I followed her out of the kitchen and came to the front door. Luckily, it didn’t lock. But as soon as we got ready to force out of the door, Dolly turned back and ran into the house again. I couldn’t shout out her name for fear that Mum could hear me but waited nervously. 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。 A moment later she came back, holding something in her hand. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Half an hour later, we arrived at the lake. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 A moment later she came back, holding something in her hand. It was the goldfish bowl. Dolly’s eyes sparkled with excitement as she held the bowl tightly. “Peppy is going to have a new home!” she exclaimed joyfully. The goldfish swam lazily inside, but Dolly seemed convinced it would thrive in the lake. So she, accompanied by me, walked to the lake decidedly. Half an hour later, we arrived at the lake. Dolly carefully carried the bowl to the shore and set it down. She scooped up some water from the lake and gently poured it into the bowl. Then, with a determined look, she tilted the bowl, allowing the little goldfish to swim into its new freedom. Peppy darted off, joining the other fish in the lake. Dolly and I watched silently, smiling, as we knew we had given Peppy a chance to live its best life. 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文，主要以金鱼为线索，讲述了Dolly是我的九岁妹妹，妈妈很宠爱她。我送了她一条金鱼作为生日礼物，她非常喜欢。但最近金鱼无精打采，Dolly提出想带金鱼去湖边放生，尽管妈妈不同意，她还是坚持要我带她偷偷去。最终她们两个将金鱼放生，为鱼找到了新家。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“一会之后，她拿着什么东西回来了。”可知，本段可以写Dolly捧着金鱼缸过来了，缸里的小金鱼还是无精打采的样子，因此我们更加断定它需要回到属于自己的家。 ②由第二段首句内容“半小时后，我们到达了湖边。”可知，本段可以写我们去湖边放生的场景。金鱼一到水里，就和自己的小伙伴们欢快地游着，我们看着金鱼，都开心的笑了，因为我们为它找到了自己的家。 2.续写线索：捧着东西回来→捧着金鱼缸→走到河边，小心翼翼地将鱼倒进河里→小鱼开心地在河里游着→我和Dolly都很开心为它找到了属于自己的家。 3.词汇激活： 行为类： 大声说：exclaim/said with a high voice/shout 相信：convince/believe firmly/hold a firm belief 陪伴：accompany/keep sb. company 情绪类： 激动：excitement/thrill/agitation 高兴地：joyfully/happily /with joy 坚定地：decidedly/determinedly 【点睛】【高分句型1】 Then, with a determined look, she tilted the bowl, allowing the little goldfish to swim into its new freedom.(运用了现在分词作状语。) 【高分句型2】 Dolly and I watched silently, smiling, as we knew we had given Peppy a chance to live its best life.(运用了现在分词作状语和as引导原因状语从句。) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
