B Born in Wales in 1950, Martin Lockley was a pioneer in the study of the dinosaur tracks and footprints preserved in rocks around the world. His work helped his fellow paleontologists (古生物学家) understand what the footprints can tell us about dinosaurs and the world that they lived in. The footprints and tracks left behind by dinosaurs and other prehistoric animals are called trace fossils (痕迹化石). They can offer clues to how quickly an animal walked or ran and even what their skin may have looked like. Compared with the body fossils of bones and teeth, trace fossils contain evidence of the interactions that the animals had with their environment and can describe what the physical environment may have looked like. They offer a more reliable way to imagine the speed of a dinosaur than analyzing the bones. Lockley’s mother and father were nature lovers. Lockley loved to observe nature. His father inspired him to “just go out and observe and trust your observations”, which proved important in Lockley’s launching his future career in dinosaur research. He took that advice with him to Gunnison, southwest of Denver, the United States. While North America is home to some of the largest number of fossil footprints in the world, Lockley’s work with prints and his father’s words took him far and wide. He explored fossil and track sites in China, South Korea, Spain and the United Kingdom. In addition to finding the tracks, Lockley devoted time and energy to preserving these important parts of the fossil record. This includes guiding the politics needed to create UNESCO world heritage sites so that future generations wouldn’t lose out on these precious relics of the past. 4. What can we know about trace fossils? A. They can reflect the then environment. B. They are mainly left by some larger animals. C. They can be easier to preserve than teeth fossils. D. They are as accurate as bone fossils in analyzing animals’ speed. 5. What contributes to Lockley’s beginning his career in dinosaur tracks? A. His family’s tradition. B. His father’s encouragement. C. His love for dinosaurs and their footprints. D. His desire to find the largest dinosaur track site. 6. What did Lockley do besides his professional research? A. He explored places of interest around the world. B. He guided fellow paleontologists in their work. C. He conserved and promoted dinosaur track sites. D. He educated the next generation of track hunters. 7. Which can best describe Lockley’s work? A. Dangerous. B. Time-consuming. C. Far-reaching. D. Demanding. C Some songs tend to get stuck in our heads more easily than others. When a song becomes super popular, we say it’s “gone viral”. Those words might be more accurate than we ever imagined. David Earn is an applied mathematician. One day, he talked with musician and scientist Matt Woolhouse. Woolhouse found some songs had been downloaded thousands of times over just a few weeks or months. Those patterns looked familiar to Earn, who studies disease epidemics. And those download data resembled the kind of data he saw with disease transmission (传播). They wondered whether that kind of spread from person to person could be how people decide that they like particular songs. Earn had been working with a mathematical model to predict how diseases spread during an epidemic. His team now used the same model with the song data. They looked at the 1,000 most downloaded songs in the United Kingdom, dividing them by type. For popular songs, downloads increased rapidly over time, much like a contagious (传染性的) disease infecting a group of susceptible people. Some types were more contagious than others, the team reported in 2023. “The group of people who connect and like folk music isn’t the same as the group of people who like heavy metal or dance music. They’re different social groups,” Earn says. “And some of those social groups are much more likely to share things quickly.” Surprisingly, pop music wasn’t the most contagious. It spread, but not as quickly as some other types. Electronic music, on the other hand, was super contagious. Earn thinks these listeners are probably super connected on the web and share things more than people who prefer other types of music. “We think of contagion as a strictly negative thing,” Earn says. “But that same process of contagion functions for other things in life,” he now concludes, “like sharing favorite songs with your closest friends.” 8. Why did Earn and his team conduct their research? A. To analyze the pattern of song spread. B. To investigate the ways songs are grouped. C. To count the times that the songs were downloaded. D. To study the characters of the people who downloaded songs. 9. What does the underlined word “susceptible” in paragraph 4 mean? A. With a strong will. B. Preferring new ideas. C. Sticking to traditions. D. Likely to be influenced. 10. Why does electronic music spread quicker? A. Electronic music covers all music types. B. Its fans are skillful at surfing the Internet. C. Electronic music can impress people easily. D. Its lovers like sharing things with others better. 11. What can be the best title for the text? A. Contagion of Music B. Music Spreads Online Wildly C. How a Song Becomes Attractive D. Frequency of Downloading Songs D The first U. S. cookbook was published in 1796, and since then, they have provided insight into different times in American history. Cookbooks tell us what foods were available during the period the books were written. If you see a lot of recipes for things that are preserved for pickles (腌菜), you know that you’re looking at a time without refrigeration. In the late 1860s, many recipes started paying more attention to food bacteria concerns and healthy-seeming foods, reflecting society’s growing knowledge of both subjects. Cookbooks show that meal planning changed in the 1930s, when refrigerators became more common in American homes. Early cookbooks were also lifestyle guides. So, there were not only some recipes for food, but recipes for a cleaning solvent (溶剂) or what to do when your child were poisoned, how to clean, and how to get spots out. Cookbooks became more diversified and regional after the Civil War. Southern writers, and some Northern writers, began publishing cookbooks in an attempt to memorialize, and beautify, the American South. They became very successful and they really helped to develop a sense of what southern hospitality was. Community cookbooks, edited by more than one person, often as a fundraiser or for charity, ultimately provide insight into what middle-class Americans were eating at a given time, as well as a statement about neighborhoods and groups. Cookbooks, however, sort of stop being a comprehensive reflection of society now. You really have to think about the publishing world and who it is, where it is, and what it wants. The publishing world doesn’t necessarily have the goal of representing the truth of Americans because it wants to make money. But publishing’s control of the storytelling has loosened. Social media and food blogs have led to the freedom of conversations around food, recipes and cooking, giving consumers more power. But that doesn’t mean that the golden age of cookbooks is over. Cookbooks are still one of the most popular books out there and are purchased regularly. They’re very good to give as gifts. They’re very, very popular because they’re sort of neutral (中立的). And everyone loves a cookbook, especially with beautiful pages. 12. What can we learn from paragraph 2? A. There are always recipes to make pickles in cookbooks. B. Refrigerators first entered American homes in the 1930s. C. People ate more healthy foods in the late 1860s than now. D. The cooking method changes as the equipment improves. 13 What does the fourth paragraph mainly focus on? A. The variety of cookbooks. B. The popularity of cookbooks. C. The limitations of cookbooks. D. The editors of cookbooks. 14. What weakens the power of cookbooks now? A. New media. B. Picky consumers. C. Outdated content. D. Economic downturn. 15. What does the author say about U. S. cookbooks? A. They are all about some recipes for food. B. They are still appealing for their objective description. C They are the voice of middle-class Americans. D. They are purchased more easily online now. 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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Staying motivated is key to achieving personal and professional success.

At ages five and eight, Bobby and I would spend our usual Saturday with Grandpa, cleaning his house. Grandpa was only in his late fifties. His own dad had died early, so he didn’t go to school but ran the family farm to raise his family. Because of that, his skills consisted of being able to sign his name, read his grandchildren’s names, and do simple sums in his head. Then I didn’t understand the poverty and limited opportunities Grandpa lived with. A little food was the only items in his small refrigerator. He worked as a night guard for several companies, and the highlight of his week was the reward he gave my brother and me for cleaning. After we were done, Grandpa would put on his only suit, and we’d head to town. As we walked, Grandpa would greet every person he met along the way. Everyone had a story to share, and Grandpa would stand quietly, always smiling, and listen with great appreciation. When we’d finally arrive at Grandpa’s favorite diner, the waitresses would all greet him as a long-lost elder. Bobby and I split an adult plate, and Grandpa either had a cup of soup or a cup of coffee, talking about how well we cleaned his place, telling anyone who would listen every step of every task we accomplished. Every waitress would make sure they came up to say “hi” to Grandpa and congratulate his grandkids on their work. It may have been a diner, but it was our another home. When dinner was over, the waitress would bring the check and slide it over to Grandpa. One day it was Gloria, and like always she bent close to him and told him the amount of the check (knowing that he couldn’t read the paper). Grandpa carefully dug into the pocket and brought out a broken coin purse. He carefully laid out the bills and coins. Then he gave Gloria a very very small tip. I was ashamed that he had got it wrong and that he—we—would be embarrassed. 注意：1．续写词数应为150个左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I was about to say something to Grandpa when Gloria grabbed my hand. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The words “being nice” played over and over in my mind. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1—5 AAACB 6—10 BACAC 11—15 BACBB 16—20 CBACB 高二下学期期末学业质量监测 英语 考生注意： 1.答题前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号填写在试卷和答题卡上，并将考生号条形码粘贴在答题卡上的指定位置。 2.回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡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 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2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。 例: How much is the shirt?

This resolve is primarily influenced by several key factors. Chinese people returning home for the Spring Festival has gone far beyond a simple family reunion. First of all, it is a long Chinese tradition. Secondly, it is a way to show gratitude and love to our family and ancestors. Moreover, it reminds each of us of the existence of a Chinese nation united by shared customs, indirectly fostering a love for our motherland. As far as we Chinese are concerned, hometown is our spiritual holy land, and going home for the Spring Festival is our most romantic expression. Yours. Li Hua 第二节（满分25分） 【47题答案】 【答案】 I was about to say something to Grandpa when Gloria grabbed my hand. “Come and get some flowers today’s gifts, Susie,” she said as she led me toward the counter. “I want you to listen carefully, Susie,” Gloria said to me seriously. “You can’t do that. Your grandfather is very kind. Although his income is small, he has helped many people, including me.
