I volunteer at Valley Therapeutic Equestrian Association (VTEA) in Alder grove. B. C. , close to the Washington State border. It takes a few paid staff and an army of volunteers-approximately eighty-to take care of a dozen horses and help with eighty or more children during the week. There is a large barn to clean, and hay nets and water buckets to brush and fill. Specific feeds for each horse must be prepared twice daily…. The list is endless. To prepare a horse for a ride, someone has to bring it in from outside, at times sinking into inches of black, sticky mud during the winter months. Usually, two volunteers groom (刷洗梳毛) the horse and put on the special saddle. Then they lead the horse to where the lesson takes place. There, one volunteer leads the horse, and usually two walk alongside for safety, one on each side. Then the horse must be returned to the barn, unsaddled, cleaned and fed. Yet so many people willingly give their time-because the children need us. Ranging in age from two upwards, the children have varying degrees of mental disabilities. Some have severe physical handicaps (残疾). Riding strengthens their muscles and bones, enabling them to enjoy a more fruitful life. Throughout my past life as an accountant, business author and speaker, I volunteered on many levels and in many organizations. However, a terrible motor-vehicle accident changed my life in a split second when my car was hit—as was my head——causing severe brain injury. It was hard to accept a new "me" and her often-frustrating limitations, until I discovered that I needed to do something that I have a passion for. I’d loved horses from childhood, and working with them and with the children has helped turn my life around, making me warm from the inside out. The journey back has been painful but worthwhile. Now, fourteen years later, I am a different, more simplified person. 4 What is the main idea of Paragraph 2? A. Horses for riding lessons are cared for carefully. B. Horse-riding lessons bring children many benefits. C. Volunteers have much to do for a horse-riding lesson. D. Disabled children are taught horse-riding in a different way. 5. What does the author think of her voluntary work in VTEA? A. Risky and thrilling. B. Tiring but worthwhile. C. Funny and enjoyable. D. Demanding but fruitless. 6. What can be inferred about the author from the last paragraph? A. The accident transformed her thoroughly. B. Volunteering has brought her a win-win result. C. She's never recovered from the injury. D. She wasn't interested in voluntary work before. 7. What could be the best title for the passage? A. Helping Children in Need B. Surviving the Brain Injury C. Volunteering: A Journey Back D. Horse-riding: Toughest Lessons 【答案】4. C 5. B 6. B 7. C 【解析】 这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述作者经历严重车祸后造成脑部损伤，通过志愿者工作，照顾马，帮助孩子们骑马，给作者带来温暖，让作者找回了自己。 【4题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“To prepare a horse for a ride, someone has to bring it in from outside, at times sinking into inches of black, sticky mud during the winter months. Usually, two volunteers groom (刷洗梳毛) the horse and put on the special saddle. Then they lead the horse to where the lesson takes place. There, one volunteer leads the horse, and usually two walk alongside for safety, one on each side. Then the horse must be returned to the barn, unsaddled, cleaned and fed. (为了让马做好骑行的准备，必须有人从外面把它带进来，在冬天的几个月里，有时会陷进几英寸深的黑色粘稠的泥巴里。通常情况下，两名志愿者会给马梳理马匹，然后套上特制的马鞍。然后他们把马牵到上课的地方。在那里，一个志愿者牵着马，为了安全，通常两个人并排走，两边各一个。然后必须把马放回马厩，脱去马鞍，清洗干净并喂饱)”可知，为了骑马课程，志愿者有很多工作要做，故选C。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“It takes a few paid staff and an army of volunteers-approximately eighty-to take care of a dozen horses and help with eighty or more children during the week. There is a large barn to clean, and hay nets and water buckets to brush and fill. Specific feeds for each horse must be prepared twice daily... . The list is endless. (一周中，要照顾十几匹马，照顾八十多个孩子，需要几个带薪工作人员和一群大约八十个的志愿者。有一个大的马厩要清理，干草网和水桶要刷和填充。每匹马的特定饲料必须每天准备两次。这样的事不胜枚举)”可知，志愿者工作是很辛苦，很累的。再根据第三段中“Riding strengthens their muscles and bones, enabling them to enjoy a more fruitful life. (骑马能增强他们的肌肉和骨骼，使他们能享受更丰富的生活)”可知，骑马给这些身体有残疾的孩子带来了积极的影响，他的志愿者工作是值得的，故选B。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“I’d loved horses from childhood, and working with them and with the children has helped turn my life around, making me warm from the inside out. (我从小就喜欢马，和它们一起工作，和孩子们一起工作，帮助我扭转了生活，让我从里到外感到温暖)”可知，这份志愿者的工作不仅能帮助到孩子们，而且让作者车祸后无论是心态还是生活上都有了积极的改变，所以，志愿者工作带来了“双赢”的结果，故选B。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段中“The journey back has been painful but worthwhile. Now, fourteen years later, I am a different, more simplified person. (回归的旅程是痛苦的，但也是值得的。14年后的今天，我变成了一个不同的，更简单的人)”可知，是志愿者工作让作者在车祸后接受了自己，找回了自己，志愿者工作对作者的意义重大。文章前面的段落都是围绕着车祸后作者的志愿者工作展开，介绍了具体的工作以及意义，所以，选项C“志愿者工作：回归之旅”，符合文章主旨，是最合适的标题，故选C。 C The food we eat every day keeps us alive, but it can also increase health and environmental costs-heart disease, carbon emissions, and more. For years, health researchers focused on their priorities while environmental scientists were on theirs. And it became increasingly obvious that what we eat is closely connected with planet’s health. So the researchers of a recent study at the University of Michigan built a system that combined both concerns, looking at health and environmental impacts of specific foods. The researchers looked at the nutritional makeup of nearly 6000 foods. A hot dog would probably cost someone about 35 minutes of living; but eating most fruits might help someone gain a few extra minutes. In the calculations, apple pie is just about neutral — some boost from the apples, some losses from butter, flour, and sugar. At the same time, the researchers evaluated the environmental effects of those thousands of food items. They studied different ways the environment absorbed food production’s impact as well. When researchers looked at both issues at once, an exciting pattern emerged. Many foods good for people’s health were also relatively gentle on the environment. Not surprisingly, beans, vegetables-not those grown in greenhouses, though-and some sustainably farmed seafood like catfish fell in what they termed the “green” zone. “Amber” zone foods, like milk, egg-based foods and greenhouse-grown vegetables balanced health and environmental costs. “Red” zone foods, which included beef, pork, lamb and processed meats, had high health and environmental costs. There’s no replacement for food, but shifting what we eat is possible. Food choices are personal, deeply connected to culture, religion, emotion, economic concerns, and so much more. “We aim to inform people so that they can make choices that fit with their needs and values.” says Olivier Jolliet one of the researchers. “We don’t all have to adopt a vegetarian diet overnight.” he says. “Small changes can make big impacts.” 8. What do we know about the recent study? A. More is known about the nutritional makeup of foods. B. Most foods are beneficial to both health and the planet. C. Healthy foods tend to be harmless to the environment. D. Research has been done on environmental impacts of foods. 9. What does the underlined word “neutral” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. balanced B. wasteful C. gentle D. consuming 10 Which of the following has the lowest health and environmental cost? A. Milk. B. A hot dog. C. Apple pie. D. Beans. 11. What does Olivier Jolliet think of shifts in food choices? A. They can make a great difference. B. They meet people’s needs for food. C. They are not suitable for everybody. D. They are of great value to researchers. 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. D 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述了一项研究，该研究关注食物对人类健康和环境的影响，并将食物分为“绿色”、“琥珀色”和“红色”三个区域，以此来指导人们做出更健康、更环保的饮食选择。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“Many foods good for people’s health were also relatively gentle on the environment.(许多有益于人们健康的食物对环境也相对温和)”可知，最近研究可知，健康的食物往往对环境无害。故选C。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段“some boost from the apples, some losses from butter, flour, and sugar.(一些来自苹果的增加，一些来自黄油、面粉和糖的减少)”可知，苹果增加了一些营养，黄油、面粉和糖减少了一些营养。所以，苹果派是中和的，中立的，无偏差的。划线词与balanced“均衡的”的意思相近。故选A。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“Not surprisingly, beans, vegetables—not those grown in greenhouses, though—and some sustainably farmed seafood like catfish fell in what they termed the “green” zone. “Amber” zone foods, like milk, egg-based foods, and greenhouse-grown vegetables balanced health and environmental costs. “Red” zone foods, which included beef, pork, lamb and processed meats, had high health and environmental costs. (毫不奇怪，豆类、蔬菜——不是温室里种植的蔬菜——以及一些可持续养殖的海鲜，如鲶鱼，都落入了他们所说的“绿色”地带。“琥珀色”区域食品，如牛奶、鸡蛋类食品和温室蔬菜，平衡了健康和环境成本。包括牛肉、猪肉、羊肉和加工肉类在内的“红”区食品的健康和环境成本很高)”可知，豆类和蔬菜处于“绿色”地带，健康和环境成本最低。故选D。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段““We don’t all have to adopt a vegetarian diet overnight,” he says. “Small changes can make big impacts.”(“我们不必在一夜之间都吃素，”他说。“微小的改变可以产生巨大的影响。”)”可知，Olivier Jolliet认为食物选择的微小改变可以带来很大的影响。故选A。 第二节(共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Health, as the old saying goes, is over wealth, so it’s of great significance to keep fit. You can take away our money, our house, or our clothes and we can survive. ____12____ That is why I eat healthfully, exercise regularly, and keep up my social life. Eating healthfully is important to maintain one’s health. I try to avoid foods high in fat like French fries or cookies.

D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了合理饮食、规律锻炼和活跃社交这三个保持健康的秘诀。 【12题详解】 根据前文“You can take away our money, our house, or our clothes and we can survive.(你可以拿走我们的钱，拿走我们的房子，拿走我们的衣服，我们还能活下去。)”和后文“That is why I eat healthfully, exercise regularly, and keep up my social life.(这就是为什么我吃得健康，经常锻炼，保持我的社交生活。)”可知，此处是指拿走健康人便无法存活，所以选项B“拿走我们的健康，我们就会死去。”切合文意。故选B。 【13题详解】 根据段落标题“ Eating healthfully is important to maintain one’s health.(健康饮食对保持健康很重要。) ”可知，本段讲述饮食健康对身体健康很重要，空处前文“I try to avoid foods high in fat like French fries or cookies. I also try to limit the amount of animal protein I consume.（我尽量避免吃高脂肪的食物，如炸薯条或饼干。我也尽量限制动物蛋白的摄入量。） ”阐述作者避免吃高脂肪的东西和动物蛋白，结合后文“So, it is important to know how to cook these foods so that the nutrients are not lost in the cooking process.(所以，知道如何烹饪这些食物是很重要的，这样营养成分才不会在烹饪过程中流失。)”可知，空处应是应该吃的东西，所以选项G项“相反，我吃很多富含纤维和维生素的蔬菜和水果。”符合语境，与前文形成对比，符合段落主旨，选项中的vegetables and fruits呼应下文these fooods，fiber and vitamins呼应下文nutritions。故选G。 【14题详解】 根据前文“Exercise helps the bones build density and helps us maintain our posture.(锻炼有助于骨骼增强密度，帮助我们保持姿势。)”可知，此处是指锻炼对身体的好处，所以选项A“它还可以增强我们的肌肉。”切合文意。故选A。 【15题详解】 根据后文“Studies have shown that people with a wide range of social contacts get fewer colds and recover faster from diseases than those who aren’t socially active.(研究表明，与那些不活跃社交的人相比，拥有广泛社交关系的人患感冒的几率更低，康复速度也更快。)”可知，此处是指朋友对健康的重要性，所以选项C“朋友是一个人健康的重要组成部分。”切合文意。故选C。 【16题详解】 根据前文“By eating properly and exercising regularly, I can keep my body at an appropriate weight and can maintain my health. By spending time with my friends, I can keep my mind as well as my body happy.(通过合理的饮食和有规律的锻炼，我可以保持我的身体在一个适当的体重，可以保持我的健康。通过花时间与我的朋友，我可以保持我的思想以及我的身体快乐。)”可知，此处是指合理饮食、规律锻炼和活跃社交这三个保持健康的秘诀，所以选项D“这是我保持健康生活方式的三个秘诀。”切合文意。故选D。 第二部分 语言运用(共四节，满分42分) 第一节(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 One day a small gap appeared in the cocoon (茧), through which the butterfly would come out.

He was very sick and they were struggling to make their ends meet. Only a very costly operation could save Jack, but there was no one to lend them the money. She heard her dad say to her tearful mom, “Only a miracle can save him now.” Hearing the word, Grace went to her bedroom, took all the coins from her little money box and counted it carefully. After counting the coins three times, She slipped out of the room and made her way to the drug store. She wanted for a long time before the female pharmacist (药剂师) turned around and asked her, “What do you want?” “Well, it’s about my brother,” Grace answered, “He’s really sick. And I want to buy a miracle.” “I beg your pardon?” said the pharmacist. “His name is Jack. And he has something very bad growing inside his body. And my dad says only a miracle can save him now. So how much does a miracle cost?” “We don’t sell miracles here, little girl. I am sorry. I can’t help you.” the pharmacist said “I have the money to pay for it.” With these words, Grace poured out all the coins from her pocket. At this time, a well-dressed man in uniform from Chicago hospital asked the little girl. “I am selling the miracle you want. Tell me how much money you have.” “47 cents.” Grace answered in a low voice. “That’s all the money I have. But I can get some more if I need to.” “Well.” smiled the man, “47 cents is the exact price of a miracle for your little brother. Show me the place where you live.” 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。 Holding the man’s hand firmly, Grace took him home. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The operation was completed successfully. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Holding the man’s hand firmly, Grace took him home. The little girl walked in such a hurry that she even forgot to introduce herself to the man. Her parents were too surprised to believe their eyes. That well-dressed man turned out to be a surgeon, specializing in neural surgery. He promised to do the operation for Jack. The whole family were more than happy and couldn’t utter a single word. Later, Jack was taken to the hospital to take the operation he needed. The operation was completed successfully. The whole family were grateful to the man. With payment of 47 cents, Grace knew the exact price of a miracle: 47 cents, plus the faith of a little child. When asked why he chose to help the family, the man detailed, “I was once in the same situation as the little baby. It was my own sister who saved my life. Grace reminded me of her, so I decided to help Grace. It doesn’t matter how much money she actually had with her, what matters is her faith that miracles do exist. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了小女孩Grace听到父母谈论弟弟Jack病重，需要奇迹才能救他。她带着所有积蓄去药店买奇迹。一位善良的医生出现了，说奇迹的价格正好是Grace的钱——47美分，并承诺救治Jack。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“格蕾丝紧紧地握着那人的手，把他带回家。”可知，第一段可描写格蕾丝的父母感觉惊讶，男人答应为杰克做手术。 ②由第二段首句内容“手术已经成功完成。”可知，第二段可描写男人解释帮助格蕾丝的原因。 2.续写线索：格蕾丝带男人回家——男人答应做手术——杰克去做手术——手术完成，家人感激——男人解释原因——相信奇迹存在 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①相信：believe/have faith in ②知道：know/be aware of ③决定做：decide to do/determine to do/make up one’s mind to do 情绪类 ①惊讶的：surprised/astonished ②开心的：happy/pleased 【点睛】【高分句型1】The little girl walked in such a hurry that she even forgot to introduce herself to the man.（运用了such...that引导的结果状语从句） 【高分句型2】Later, Jack was taken to the hospital to take the operation he needed.（运用了省略that引导的限制性定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 博罗县 2023-2024学年度第二学期高二期中检测 英语试题 总分130分，测试用时：120分钟 注意事项: 1.答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡和试卷指定位置上. 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。 第一部分 阅读理解(共两节，满分48分) 第一节 (共11小题；每小题3分，满分33分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A If you are looking for a vacation to a beautiful beach town, here you can find the best cities along the East Coast based on a departure (离开) from Los Angeles. Savannah, Gcorgia Round-trip flight cost: $ 415 Walking tours of the city’s attractions are led by local historians to help you better know the city’s past and you can see the bench where Forrest Gump sat. There is also a free tour to Forsyth Park, home to a 300-ycar-old Candler Oak tree. Visitors can also stay at the Forsyth Park, which includes a spa, restaurant and cooking school. Charleston, South Carolina Round-trip flight cost: $519 You don’t have to travel to Europe to visit one of the world’s best spots. Charleston made Travel and Leisure’s 2018 list of the top 15 international cities. You can enjoy the sunshine for free at Folly Beach and watch the sunset from the dock. Block Island, Rhode Island Round-trip flight cost: $358 There are no flights from Los Angeles directly to Block Island, but a round-trip flight to Providence, Rhode Island.

Roanoke, Virginia Round-trip flight cost: $517 Take advantage of the arts and crafts trips, hiking paths and waterfall stops all along the Blue Ridge Parkway. If you don’t want to stay outdoors, visit the Taubman Museum of Art for free. The museum has a collection of over 2,100 pieces from around the world and hosts special exhibits throughout the year. 1. What do tours in Savannah allow visitors to do? A. Learn about the history of the city. B. Help plant trees in Forsyth Park. C. Attend a cooking school for free. D. Watch an open-air movie. 2. Charleston is surtable for visitors who ______. A. like to enjoy the sunset in the harbor B. love to spend time with animals C. want to appreciate works of art D. prefer enjoying the mountain view 3. At which place can visitors have both outdoor and indoor tours? A. Savannah. B. Charleston. C. Block Island. D. Roanoke. B Few people realize that it takes the army of volunteers for one young child to have a half-hour riding lesson. I volunteer at Valley Therapeutic Equestrian Association (VTEA) in Alder grove. B. C. , close to the Washington State border. It takes a few paid staff and an army of volunteers-approximately eighty-to take care of a dozen horses and help with eighty or more children during the week. There is a large barn to clean, and hay nets and water buckets to brush and fill. Specific feeds for each horse must be prepared twice daily…. The list is endless. To prepare a horse for a ride, someone has to bring it in from outside, at times sinking into inches of black, sticky mud during the winter months. Usually, two volunteers groom (刷洗梳毛) the horse and put on the special saddle. Then they lead the horse to where the lesson takes place. There, one volunteer leads the horse, and usually two walk alongside for safety, one on each side. Then the horse must be returned to the barn, unsaddled, cleaned and fed. Yet so many people willingly give their time-because the children need us. Ranging in age from two upwards, the children have varying degrees of mental disabilities. Some have severe physical handicaps (残疾). Riding strengthens their muscles and bones, enabling them to enjoy a more fruitful life. Throughout my past life as an accountant, business author and speaker, I volunteered on many levels and in many organizations. However, a terrible motor-vehicle accident changed my life in a split second when my car was hit—as was my head——causing severe brain injury. It was hard to accept a new "me" and her often-frustrating limitations, until I discovered that I needed to do something that I have a passion for. I’d loved horses from childhood, and working with them and with the children has helped turn my life around, making me warm from the inside out. The journey back has been painful but worthwhile. Now, fourteen years later, I am a different, more simplified person. 4. What is the main idea of Paragraph 2? A. Horses for riding lessons are cared for carefully. B. Horse-riding lessons bring children many benefits. C. Volunteers have much to do for a horse-riding lesson. D. Disabled children are taught horse-riding in a different way. 5. What does the author think of her voluntary work in VTEA? A. Risky and thrilling. B. Tiring but worthwhile. C. Funny and enjoyable. D. Demanding but fruitless. 6. What can be inferred about the author from the last paragraph? A. The accident transformed her thoroughly. B Volunteering has brought her a win-win result. C. She's never recovered from the injury. D. She wasn't interested in voluntary work before. 7. What could be the best title for the passage? A. Helping Children in Need B. Surviving the Brain Injury C. Volunteering: A Journey Back D. Horse-riding: Toughest Lessons C The food we eat every day keeps us alive, but it can also increase health and environmental costs-heart disease, carbon emissions, and more. For years, health researchers focused on their priorities while environmental scientists were on theirs. And it became increasingly obvious that what we eat is closely connected with planet’s health. So the researchers of a recent study at the University of Michigan built a system that combined both concerns, looking at health and environmental impacts of specific foods. The researchers looked at the nutritional makeup of nearly 6000 foods. A hot dog would probably cost someone about 35 minutes of living; but eating most fruits might help someone gain a few extra minutes. In the calculations, apple pie is just about neutral — some boost from the apples, some losses from butter, flour, and sugar. At the same time, the researchers evaluated the environmental effects of those thousands of food items. They studied different ways the environment absorbed food production’s impact as well. When researchers looked at both issues at once, an exciting pattern emerged. Many foods good for people’s health were also relatively gentle on the environment. Not surprisingly, beans, vegetables-not those grown in greenhouses, though-and some sustainably farmed seafood like catfish fell in what they termed the “green” zone. “Amber” zone foods, like milk, egg-based foods and greenhouse-grown vegetables balanced health and environmental costs. “Red” zone foods, which included beef, pork, lamb and processed meats, had high health and environmental costs. There’s no replacement for food, but shifting what we eat is possible. Food choices are personal, deeply connected to culture, religion, emotion, economic concerns, and so much more. “We aim to inform people so that they can make choices that fit with their needs and values.” says Olivier Jolliet one of the researchers. “We don’t all have to adopt a vegetarian diet overnight.” he says. “Small changes can make big impacts.” 8. What do we know about the recent study? A. More is known about the nutritional makeup of foods. B. Most foods are beneficial to both health and the planet. C. Healthy foods tend to be harmless to the environment. D. Research has been done on environmental impacts of foods. 9. What does the underlined word “neutral” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. balanced B. wasteful C. gentle D. consuming 10. Which of the following has the lowest health and environmental cost? A. Milk. B. A hot dog. C. Apple pie. D. Beans. 11. What does Olivier Jolliet think of shifts in food choices? A They can make a great difference. B. They meet people’s needs for food. C. They are not suitable for everybody. D. They are of great value to researchers. 第二节(共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Health, as the old saying goes, is over wealth, so it’s of great significance to keep fit.

Tell me how much money you have.” “47 cents.” Grace answered in a low voice. “That’s all the money I have.
