B Lately, an 86.6-metre-tall mass-timber (拼接木材) tower in Milwaukee, Wisconsin designed by Korb+Associates Architects, has been certified as the world’s tallest timber building. Located in a neighbourhood near the lakefront, the 25-storey tower is made almost entirely from timber except for the base, elevators and stair shafts (竖井). The structure took only two years to build. It has a concrete-framed podium (基座) at the base that is six storeys tall and the 19-storey timber tower rises from the podium. The core containing the elevator shaft and staircase is made of concrete to help the building deal with wind and earthquakes, as well as for fire safety reasons. “Our cores are concrete,” Korb+Associates Architects founder Jason Korb said. Thornton Tomasetti associate Alejandro Fernandez, who worked on the project, said that the city required a three-hour fire rating for the columns, so the team worked with the Forest Products Laboratory to optimize the columns to meet this standard. “We think it was the first three-hour fire testing on columns,” said Fernandez, adding that the floor plates had a two-hour rating, meaning the components can burn for two hours without losing structural integrity. Because of requirements preventing external wood exposure and the developer’s desire to capture the lake views, the outside of the structure is made almost entirely of glass and metal panelling. Both Korb and Fernandez agreed that many of the drivers behind the project were economic—from the real estate perspective of the façade (建筑物正面) to the cost restrictions of the timber. Much of the wood was sourced from Austria because sourcing high-quality supplies from North American manufacturers would have been too expensive. Economic benefits were increased by labour usage of the project. Korb estimated that the project used about 25 per cent of the onsite labour required for a concrete structure and that it was completed in about half the time. Both Fernandez and Korb believe that the tower will provide further proof of concept for developers who are looking to create innovative structures from timber. And mid-rise developments like these that “attract people to the urban core” are a “good” thing, Korb added. 4. What can we know about the building? A. It is about 19-storey tall. B. Its cores are made of timber. C. It is the tallest building in the world. D. It can stand three-hour fire testing on columns. 5. Where is the wood used for construction from? A. Austria. B. North America. C. The Wisconsin state. D. The Forest Products Laboratory. 6. What does Korb think of the project? A. It is time-saving. B. It is difficult and costly. C. It is environment-friendly. D. It is energy-consuming. 7. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. More developers will choose timber to build tall buildings. B. The timber tower is a good example of innovative structure. C. Mid-rise developments will become more and more popular. D. Innovative structures from timber will need more improvements.

D Nowadays, smartphones fill us with text messages. Social media attack us with endless notices. Many consumers are buying the latest digital devices, from tablets and fitness trackers to commercial drones. Simple living seems to be a thing of the past. Thoreau would beg to differ. As a writer who claimed the value of simplicity almost two centuries ago, he went against his time. He lived during the height of the Industrial Age, distinguished by the rise of huge factories and powerful machines such as steam engines. Thoreau withdrew from city life to live alone in the woods. He brought with him only the necessities of life and wrote about this adventure in his book Walden. In Walden Thoreau is basically making a philosophical statement: We are not living deliberate or meaningful lives, thanks to modern technology. We created powerful machines to make life more convenient. Unfortunately, these machines have done the opposite. In his words, “Men have become the tools of their tools”. When technology causes that much distraction and confusion, it may be healthy to simplify life by shortening these technological use. Personally, I’ve done so in two ways. First, I don’t use data on my cellphone. I only use it to call or text. Second, I quit most social media. As a result, my technology distracts me very little, which allows me to live in. less confusion and, therefore, more deliberation. Sure, that’s not as extreme as Thoreau-moving to the woods, but it’s a realistic move I can make toward a more meaningful life. One final clarification: Thoreau’s message of simplicity isn’t about rejecting all technology. It is, however, rejecting technological consumerism, or compulsively buying more technology for the sake of having more technology. This is why Walden is such an important book for technology education. Simplicity means minimizing material distractions so as to maximize life’s meaning. 11. What do we know about Thoreau in paragraph 2? A. He lived in the high industrial building. B. He moved to a place close to nature. C. He thought highly of modern technology. D. He was fond of adventure in urban areas. 12. Why are people not living meaningful lives according to Thoreau? A. Men haven’t made full use of their technology . B. Some digital devices are inconvenient to use. C. Men have become the slaves of modern technology. D. Modern machines are powerful enough to control people. 13. How does the author shorten technological use? A By using date on the phone. B. By abusing technological devices. C. By living in less confusion. D. By quitting using most social media. 14. Which statement will Thoreau probably agree with from the last paragraph? A. Less is more. B. The more, the better. C. Knowledge is power. D. No pains, no gains. 二、阅读七选五：本大题共5小题，共10分。 Stages of a Hurricane: Simple Storms Grow Into Giants A storm progresses through four different stages before it is actually considered a hurricane. First is a tropical (热带的) disturbance, which has thunderstorms and rotating (旋转的) winds. Next is a tropical depression (低气压), which is similar to a tropical disturbance, but has winds between 23 and 39 miles per hour. A tropical storm is the next level, which has stronger wind speeds between 40 and 73 miles per hour. ____15____The wind picks up energy from the warm surface ocean water. As a hurricane crosses over land, it begins to become weaker and reduce in strength. ____16____ At this point, a hurricane can still cause a lot of damage because of high winds, rain, and flooding, but unless it makes its way back over the open ocean, it is downgraded from a hurricane back to a tropical storm. What’s Your Name, Hurricane? Hurricanes and tropical storms are given names to help people recognize them. ____17____ Before 1953, hurricanes were not given official names. From 1953 through 1978, hurricanes were only female names like Isabel, Camille, Claudette, and Wilma. Beginning in 1979, hurricanes were given the names of both women and men. ____18____ For example, in 2010, storms were named as follows: Alex (male), Bonnie (female), Colin (male), Danielle (female), Earl (male) and so on. There are six different lists of names that change. ___19___ The only way that a new name is added is adopted when a hurricane has been particularly deadly or costly and the name is retired, then replaced with a new one. A. It is difficult to give hurricanes official names. B. And the same names are used every six years. C. During this period the hurricanes do not destroy things as usual. D. Once winds reach 74 miles per hour, the storm is officially called a hurricane. E. Scientists refer to hurricanes and storms by name as they track them across the ocean. F. This is because it’s no longer over the warm ocean water where it needs for energy. G. Today, the names alternate (交替) male and female, and they are named in the order of letters. 三、完形填空：本大题共15小题，共15分。 A few years ago, I started a daily running habit.

Knowing that people would listen if he had news to share, he went around his village making up stories about the local rabbi (犹太教神职人员). “He mixes dairy and meat!” said Tovel. The townspeople shook their heads, for they all knew that dairy and meat must not be mixed in the course of any meal. “And he sneaks (偷拿) food on Yom Kippur,” added Tovel. “Not Yom Kippur!” cried the townspeople. For not only is Yom Kippur the most important fasting day of the year, but it is also the holiest Jewish holiday. Later, alone in his home, the talebearer felt bad about what he had done. His stories about the rabbi had spread quickly. “I will go to the rabbi and beg him for forgiveness,” he decided. Then all would be well again. The next morning, he went to the temple and knocked on the door. “Rabbi,” he called, “it is merchant Tovel, coming to see you about an important matter.” “Come in, Tovel,” the rabbi said warmly, opening the door. In a matter of moments, Tovel told the rabbi all the things he had said. Then he asked, “What can I do to make things right?” The rabbi thought for a moment, then told him, “You must take a feather pillow (枕头), cut it open, and feed the feathers to the wind.” Tovel thought that the rabbi’s suggestion was strange, but the task seemed simple enough. And if it would take away the guilt he felt, then why not do it? Tovel thanked the rabbi and quickly left the temple. At home, the talebearer grabbed a feather pillow, waited for the afternoon winds to pick up, then climbed to the top of a hill. There, he cut open the pillow and watched the feathers float far and wide across the land. Satisfied, Tovel returned to tell the rabbi of his deed. “Now go and gather those feathers,” the rabbi commanded. 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。 “But they are everywhere!” Tovel cried. “How will I get them all?” _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Feeling disappointed, Tovel returned to tell the rabbi about the feathers he couldn’t collect. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 绝密★启用前 2023-2024学年河南省商丘市各县区联考高二下学期期末考试 英语试卷 考试时间：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上。 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，写在试卷上无效。 3.考试结束后，本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第I卷（选择题） 一、阅读理解：本大题共14小题，共33.5分。 A A 3-Day Tour from Los Angeles to San Francisco Tour Code: GOL—LA—344 Duration:3 Day(s)/ 2 Nights Tour Guide: Chinese, English Day 1—Los Angeles—17-Mile Drive—San Francisco We will depart from Los Angeles this morning and travel to the picturesque Monterey Peninsula!

Social media attack us with endless notices. Many consumers are buying the latest digital devices, from tablets and fitness trackers to commercial drones. Simple living seems to be a thing of the past. Thoreau would beg to differ. As a writer who claimed the value of simplicity almost two centuries ago, he went against his time. He lived during the height of the Industrial Age, distinguished by the rise of huge factories and powerful machines such as steam engines. Thoreau withdrew from city life to live alone in the woods. He brought with him only the necessities of life and wrote about this adventure in his book Walden. In Walden, Thoreau is basically making a philosophical statement: We are not living deliberate or meaningful lives, thanks to modern technology. We created powerful machines to make life more convenient. Unfortunately, these machines have done the opposite. In his words, “Men have become the tools of their tools”. When technology causes that much distraction and confusion, it may be healthy to simplify life by shortening these technological use. Personally, I’ve done so in two ways. First, I don’t use data on my cellphone. I only use it to call or text. Second, I quit most social media. As a result, my technology distracts me very little, which allows me to live in. less confusion and, therefore, more deliberation. Sure, that’s not as extreme as Thoreau-moving to the woods, but it’s a realistic move I can make toward a more meaningful life. One final clarification: Thoreau’s message of simplicity isn’t about rejecting all technology. It is, however, rejecting technological consumerism, or compulsively buying more technology for the sake of having more technology. This is why Walden is such an important book for technology education. Simplicity means minimizing material distractions so as to maximize life’s meaning. 11. What do we know about Thoreau in paragraph 2? A. He lived in the high industrial building. B. He moved to a place close to nature. C. He thought highly of modern technology. D. He was fond of adventure in urban areas. 12. Why are people not living meaningful lives according to Thoreau? A. Men haven’t made full use of their technology . B. Some digital devices are inconvenient to use. C. Men have become the slaves of modern technology. D. Modern machines are powerful enough to control people. 13. How does the author shorten technological use? A. By using date on the phone. B. By abusing technological devices. C. By living in less confusion. D. By quitting using most social media. 14. Which statement will Thoreau probably agree with from the last paragraph? A. Less is more. B. The more, the better. C. Knowledge is power. D. No pains, no gains. 【答案】11. B 12. C 13. D 14. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文，文章描述了如今各种科技充斥着生活各方面的现象，介绍了倡导简单价值的作家Thoreau，以及自己是如何通过缩短这些科技的使用来简化生活的。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Thoreau withdrew from city life to live alone in the woods.(Thoreau退出城市生活，独自一人住在树林里)”可知，Thoreau搬到了一个接近大自然的地方，故选B。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“We are not living deliberate or meaningful lives, thanks to modern technology.(由于现代科技，我们没有过着深思熟虑或有意义的生活)”和“In his words, ‘Men have become the tools of their tools’.(用他的话来说，‘人类已经成为工具的工具’)”可知，按照Thoreau的观点，人们没有过上有意义的生活是因为他们成为了现代科技的奴隶，故选C。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Second, I quit most social media.(其次，我退出了大多数社交媒体)”可知，作者缩短对科技的使用的第二种方法是退出大多数的社交媒体，故选D。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“One final clarification: Thoreau’s message of simplicity isn’t about rejecting all technology. It is, however, rejecting technological consumerism, or compulsively buying more technology for the sake of having more technology. This is why Walden is such an important book for technology education. Simplicity means minimizing material distractions so as to maximize life’s meaning.(最后要澄清的是：Thoreau的简单思想并不是要拒绝所有的科技。然而，它拒绝科技消费主义，或者为了拥有更多科技而强制购买更多科技。这就是为什么《瓦尔登湖》是一本如此重要的技术教育书籍。简单意味着尽量减少物质上的干扰，从而使生活的意义最大化)”可知，Thoreau并不是要拒绝所有的科技，而是要让科技减少对生活的干扰，从而使生活意义最大化，故A项“少即是多”意思是简单的东西往往带给人们的是更多的享受，与Thoreau的观点一致，故选A。 二、阅读七选五：本大题共5小题，共10分。 Stages of a Hurricane: Simple Storms Grow Into Giants A storm progresses through four different stages before it is actually considered a hurricane. First is a tropical (热带的) disturbance, which has thunderstorms and rotating (旋转的) winds. Next is a tropical depression (低气压), which is similar to a tropical disturbance, but has winds between 23 and 39 miles per hour. A tropical storm is the next level, which has stronger wind speeds between 40 and 73 miles per hour. ____15____The wind picks up energy from the warm surface ocean water. As a hurricane crosses over land, it begins to become weaker and reduce in strength. ____16____ At this point, a hurricane can still cause a lot of damage because of high winds, rain, and flooding, but unless it makes its way back over the open ocean, it is downgraded from a hurricane back to a tropical storm. What’s Your Name, Hurricane? Hurricanes and tropical storms are given names to help people recognize them. ____17____ Before 1953, hurricanes were not given official names. From 1953 through 1978, hurricanes were only female names like Isabel, Camille, Claudette, and Wilma. Beginning in 1979, hurricanes were given the names of both women and men. ____18____ For example, in 2010, storms were named as follows: Alex (male), Bonnie (female), Colin (male), Danielle (female), Earl (male) and so on. There are six different lists of names that change. ___19___ The only way that a new name is added is adopted when a hurricane has been particularly deadly or costly and the name is retired, then replaced with a new one. A It is difficult to give hurricanes official names. B. And the same names are used every six years. C. During this period the hurricanes do not destroy things as usual. D. Once winds reach 74 miles per hour, the storm is officially called a hurricane. E. Scientists refer to hurricanes and storms by name as they track them across the ocean. F. This is because it’s no longer over the warm ocean water where it needs for energy. G. Today, the names alternate (交替) male and female, and they are named in the order of letters. 【答案】15. D 16. F 17. E 18. G 19. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了飓风的四个阶段和其命名方式。 【15题详解】 根据空前“A storm progresses through four different stages before it is actually considered a hurricane. First is a tropical (热带的) disturbance, which has thunderstorms and rotating (旋转的) winds. Next is a tropical depression (低气压), which is similar to a tropical disturbance, but has winds between 23 and 39 miles per hour. A tropical storm is the next level, which has stronger wind speeds between 40 and 73 miles per hour. (一场风暴经过四个不同的阶段才真正被视为飓风。首先是热带扰动，有雷暴和旋转风。接下来是热带低气压，类似于热带扰动，但风速在每小时23至39英里之间。热带风暴是下一级，其风速在每小时40至73英里之间。)”可知，一场风暴经过四个不同的阶段才真正被视为飓风，前面讲了三个阶段，这里应该讲到风暴形成飓风的最后一个阶段。D项“During this period the hurricanes do not destroy things as usual.(一旦风速达到每小时74英里，风暴就被正式称为飓风)”符合语境，故选D。 【16题详解】 根据空前“As a hurricane crosses over land, it begins to become weaker and reduce in strength. (当飓风穿过陆地时，它开始变得更弱，强度降低。)”可知，下面要讲到飓风变弱的原因。F项“This is because it’s no longer over the warm ocean water where it needs for energy.(这是因为它不再处于需要能量的温暖海水之上。)”解释了飓风因为不在温暖海水上所以变弱的原因，符合语境，故选F。 【17题详解】 根据空前“Hurricanes and tropical storms are given names to help people recognize them. (飓风和热带风暴被命名以帮助人们识别它们。)”可知，飓风有自己的名称。以及空后“Before 1953, hurricanes were not given official names. From 1953 through 1978, hurricanes were only female names like Isabel, Camille, Claudette, and Wilma. Beginning in 1979, hurricanes were given the names of both women and men. (从1953年到1978年，飓风都是女性的名字，比如伊莎贝尔、卡米尔、克劳德特和威尔玛。从1979年开始，飓风的名字有男有女。)”可知，这里介绍了科学家给飓风命名的具体名称。E项“Scientists refer to hurricanes and storms by name as they track them across the ocean.(当科学家们在海洋中追踪飓风和风暴时，他们会用名字来称呼它们。)”提到了科学家给飓风和风暴命名，符合语境，故选E。 18题详解】 根据空前“Beginning in 1979, hurricanes were given the names of both women and men.(从1979年开始，飓风的名字有男有女。)”可知，飓风名字有男有女。以及空后“For example, in 2010, storms were named as follows: Alex (male), Bonnie (female), Colin (male), Danielle (female), Earl (male) and so on.(例如，2010年，风暴的命名如下:Alex(男性)、Bonnie(女性)、Colin(男性)、Danielle(女性)、Earl(男性)等。)”可知，这里举了一些男女名词代表飓风。G项“Today, the names alternate (交替) male and female, and they are named in the order of letters.(今天，名字是男女交替的，而且是按字母顺序命名的。)”符合语境，故选G。 【19题详解】 根据空前“There are six different lists of names that change.(有六组不同的会改变的名字列表)”可知，这里讲到飓风的命名也会发生改变。以及空后“The only way that a new name is added is adopted when a hurricane has been particularly deadly or costly and the name is retired, then replaced with a new one.(添加新名称的唯一方法是，当飓风造成特别致命或造成特别严重的损失时，该名称被淘汰，然后用一个新名称取而代之。)”可知，这里飓风的名字很长时间才会换，name和选项中的name是原词复现。B项“And the same names are used every six years.(同样的名字每六年更换一次。)”符合语境，故选B。 三、完形填空：本大题共15小题，共15分。 A few years ago, I started a daily running habit.

Knowing that people would listen if he had news to share, he went around his village making up stories about the local rabbi (犹太教神职人员). “He mixes dairy and meat!” said Tovel. The townspeople shook their heads, for they all knew that dairy and meat must not be mixed in the course of any meal. “And he sneaks (偷拿) food on Yom Kippur,” added Tovel. “Not Yom Kippur!” cried the townspeople. For not only is Yom Kippur the most important fasting day of the year, but it is also the holiest Jewish holiday. Later, alone in his home, the talebearer felt bad about what he had done. His stories about the rabbi had spread quickly. “I will go to the rabbi and beg him for forgiveness,” he decided. Then all would be well again. The next morning, he went to the temple and knocked on the door. “Rabbi,” he called, “it is merchant Tovel, coming to see you about an important matter.” “Come in, Tovel,” the rabbi said warmly, opening the door. In a matter of moments, Tovel told the rabbi all the things he had said. Then he asked, “What can I do to make things right?” The rabbi thought for a moment, then told him, “You must take a feather pillow (枕头), cut it open, and feed the feathers to the wind.” Tovel thought that the rabbi’s suggestion was strange, but the task seemed simple enough. And if it would take away the guilt he felt, then why not do it? Tovel thanked the rabbi and quickly left the temple. At home, the talebearer grabbed a feather pillow, waited for the afternoon winds to pick up, then climbed to the top of a hill. There, he cut open the pillow and watched the feathers float far and wide across the land. Satisfied, Tovel returned to tell the rabbi of his deed. “Now go and gather those feathers,” the rabbi commanded. 注意： 1. 续写词数应 150 左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 “But they are everywhere!” Tovel cried. “How will I get them all?” _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Feeling disappointed, Tovel returned to tell the rabbi about the feathers he couldn’t collect. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: “But they are everywhere!” Tovel cried. “How will I get them all?” The rabbi replied, “Words are like feathers scattered by the wind. Once you let them out, you can never take them back.” Finally understanding the consequences of his gossip, Tovel set out to do as the rabbi had instructed. He managed to collect most of the feathers that he had scattered in town but a few were blown too far away for him to reach. Feeling disappointed, Tovel returned to tell the rabbi about the feathers he couldn’t collect. The rabbi smiled and replied, “Those feathers may be gone forever, but you can start today to speak kindly and truthfully. This way, you won’t have to worry about chasing feathers in the wind again.” Tovel left the temple, feeling lighter and with a new-found understanding about the power of his words.
