In fact, the first man made plastic was made over a hundred years ago. It was discovered both by an Englishman and an American in the same year, but it was the American who first developed it on a large scale during the eighteen sixties. Everybody was excited by this new material because it was so cheap. Poor workers were able to buy plastic collars. These plastic collars were hard and uncomfortable, but they were easy to wash. The poor workers could clean them every evening with just soap and water. Poor mothers who had not been able to afford toys for their children were now able to buy inexpensive ones made of plastic. However, plastic has one serious fault. Some kinds of plastic can catch fire very easily, and when they do, a poisonous gas is produced. What's worse, plastic takes a very long time to break down so it causes serious pollution. We now use the term white pollution to refer to plastic pollution. 第二部分：英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分） 第一节：单项选择（共15小题，每小题1分，满分15分） 从A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 16. —Guess what!

My mom abandoned my dad, my brother and me when she moved back to Sri Lanka.” he said. When he was in seventh grade, a teacher even recommended that he be placed in special education classes. His brother Reggie then brainstormed ways to help boost his grades. An aerospace engineer also offered to tutor him free of charge. Staton’s grades did improve and he became an honor student. However, he was rejected by every college he had applied for. So to help support himself and his family, Staton began working at a sanitation company. He spent his days transporting trash and cleaning dumpsters (垃圾箱), waking up every morning to get dressed around 4 am. “The sanitation workers were the only people in my life who told me I could be somebody,” Staton said, “They would say, ‘You’re too young to be here. Go to college, and come back if it doesn’t work out’”. The son of the company’s owner helped Staton contact a professor at Bowie State University, and the university eventually accepted Staton. Things began to look up. Two years later, he transferred to the University of Maryland to continue pursuing his undergraduate degree. But Staton still struggled to pay for his father’s medical bills. He’d work in the morning and take classes in the afternoon. After graduation, Staton worked at a national consulting firm while applying for law school. He plans to start at Harvard this fall, where he will major in sports law to pursue his dream of becoming a sports agent. “For Rehan, the sky is truly the limit. Whatever he chooses to do in the future, he will definitely achieve,” said a chief operating officer of Staton’s firm. For anyone looking for inspiration during difficult times, Staton recommends to “love yourself enough to get what you want out of life,” he told news outlet ABC. “You can always see the light in any dark situation, and you need to hold on to that light.” 56. It is implied in the passage that ______. A. Stanton was considered too young to be a sanitation worker B. all the classes in the University of Maryland were in the afternoon C. Stanton worked as a sports agent while applying for law school D. at one time Stanton didn’t have a satisfying academic performance 57. Why did Rehan Staton work as a sanitation worker? A. To gain some work experience. B. To help lighten his family’s financial burdens. C. To save money for his college education. D. To help the sanitation workers who once helped him. 58. What does the underlined sentence in the second-to-last paragraph imply? A. Rehan was an observant sky-lover. B. Rehan has limitations on what major he can choose. C. Rehan has an extreme fear of heights. D. Rehan has endless potential to realize his dream. 59. Which words can best describe Rehan Staton? A. Strong-minded and optimistic. B. Warm-hearted and easygoing. C. Inventive and diligent. D. Cautious and modest. 60. What is the author’s purpose in writing this article? A. To share tips on how to get admitted into Harvard. B. To persuade readers to get support when in need. C. To encourage readers not to bend to hardships in life. D. To show the importance of working with the right people. 【答案】56. D 57. B 58. D 59. A 60. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了24岁的Rehan Staton通过努力，被哈佛法学院录取。讲述了他所经历的一些挫折和困难，以及他乐观坚强的人生态度。 【56题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Staton’s life was relatively normal until a series of setbacks impacted his family life and studies.(Stanton的生活相对正常，直到一系列的挫折影响了他的家庭生活和学习)”以及第四段中“When he was in seventh grade, a teacher even recommended that he be placed in special education classes. His brother Reggie then brainstormed ways to help boost his grades.(在他上七年级的时候，一位老师甚至建议把他安排到特殊教育班。然后，他的哥哥雷吉集思广益，想出办法帮助他提高成绩)”可推知，有一段时间，Stanton的学习成绩并不令人满意。故选D。 【57题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中“So to help support himself and his family, Staton began working at a sanitation company.(因此，为了养活自己和家人，Staton开始在一家卫生公司工作)”可知，Rehan Staton做环卫工人是为了帮助减轻家庭经济负担。故选B。 58题详解】 词句猜测题。根据倒数第二段画线词后文“Whatever he chooses to do in the future, he will definitely achieve(无论他未来选择做什么，他一定会成功)”可知，Rehan有无限的潜力去实现他的梦想，做什么都会成功。故画线句意思是“Rehan有无限的潜力去实现他的梦想”。故选D。 【59题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“However, he was rejected by every college he had applied for. So to help support himself and his family, Staton began working at a sanitation company. He spent his days transporting trash and cleaning dumpsters (垃圾箱), waking up every morning to get dressed around 4 am.(然而，他申请的每一所大学都拒绝了他。因此，为了养活自己和家人，斯塔顿开始在一家卫生公司工作。他每天都在搬运垃圾和清理垃圾箱，每天早上4点左右起床穿衣服)”以及最后一段中“You can always see the light in any dark situation, and you need to hold on to that light.(在任何黑暗的情况下，你总能看到光明，你需要抓住那盏灯)”可推知，Rehan Staton被拒绝也未放弃生活的希望，可得出他意志坚强、乐观。故选A。 【60题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“For anyone looking for inspiration during difficult times, Staton recommends to “love yourself enough to get what you want out of life,” he told news outlet ABC. “You can always see the light in any dark situation, and you need to hold on to that light.”(对于那些在困难时期寻找灵感的人，Staton建议“足够爱自己，从生活中得到你想要的，”他告诉美国广播公司新闻媒体。“在任何黑暗的情况下，你总能看到光明，你需要抓住那盏灯。”)”可推知，作者写这篇文章的目的是鼓励读者不要向生活中的困难低头。故选C。 C It’s not uncommon in America for a person to belong to some kind of volunteer group. Donating one’s time and services is very much a part of the American way of life. Most charitable activities are organized by churches and groups around the nation and even encouraged by the government. The helping hand is extended to the poor, the homeless and the disabled. Some people work to teach youngsters how to read. Others open up soup kitchens to feed the homeless. Volunteers also take care of the disabled by making reading tapes for the blind and working in orphanages (孤儿院) to help children without parents. High school students are often encouraged to become volunteers and many school club activities center around volunteer services. Students may work with disabled children during a summer program, or participate in a club activity which helps to bring meal to senior citizens who are shut-ins. With their sense of idealism students are often eager to donate their spare time. They see such activities as a way of becoming involved in the community and the adult-world. Social action for them becomes as important as their academic studies. In a like manner, throughout the year, fund raising drives are also conducted by schools and community groups to raise money for a worthy cause. They may respond to a recent earthquake in a foreign country, a flood somewhere within their own, or another natural disaster which has left people destitute and homeless. They may organize drives to collect food, clothing and medicines to serve an immediate need. Today even the Halloween custom of ‘trick or treat’ has become an occasion to collect money for a charitable cause. The motive to help those less fortunate comes from the poor origins of the American nation. Those immigrants who were poor and downtrodden (受压迫的) became dependent on the kindness of their neighbors to make a new life for themselves. American volunteers work throughout the world in less developed countries. They volunteer by serving as a champion of goodwill both at home and abroad, which no doubt enriches both his life and those whom he serves. 61. Which of the following charitable activities is NOT mentioned in the passage? A. Some people open up soup kitchens to feed homeless people. B. Some students bring meals to old people who can’t go out easily. C. Some people collect money to help a foreign country with a recent earthquake. D. Some students donate books to children in mountainous areas. 62. Why are American high school students eager to do voluntary work? A. Because they want to participate in some social activities. B. Because they want to go to better universities. C. Because they can get higher scores at school. D. Because they can realize their dream sooner. 63. The underlined word “destitute” in Paragraph 3 probably means ______________. A. lifeless B. penniless C. useless D. valueless 64. American charitable activities started because ______________. A. Americans are always ready to share with others B. Americans are mostly kind C. poor immigrants needed help to make a new life D. poor Americans couldn’t live on without help 65. What’s the best title of the passage? A. The Call from the Poor B. Voluntary Work in the US C. Ways to Help the Poor D. American Volunteers around the World 【答案】61. D 62. A 63. B 64. C 65. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讨论了美国志愿者文化的重要性和普遍性。文章指出，在美国，参与志愿者活动是生活的一部分，这些活动不仅由教会和全国的组织来组织，还受到政府的鼓励。志愿者活动涵盖了帮助穷人、无家可归者、残疾人等多种形式，包括教育、食物供给、阅读辅助和孤儿院工作等。此外，文章还强调了高中生参与志愿者活动的积极性，以及通过募捐活动为有需要的人筹集资金的做法。最后，文章指出美国志愿者文化的起源与早期移民的贫困和受压迫有关，以及美国志愿者在全球范围内的贡献。 【61题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章内容，D选项 Some students donate books to children in mountainous areas.（一些学生向山区的孩子们捐赠书籍。）并没有在文中提及。文中提到的慈善活动包括：Some people open up soup kitchens to feed homeless people.（一些人开设救济食堂来喂养无家可归的人。）和Some students bring meals to old people who can’t go out easily.（一些学生为不易出门的老人送饭。）以及Some people collect money to help a foreign country with a recent earthquake.（一些人为最近遭受地震的外国筹款。）故选D项。 【62题详解】 细节理解题。根据原文“High school students are often encouraged to become volunteers and many school club activities center around volunteer services. Students see such activities as a way of becoming involved in the community and the adult-world.（高中生经常被鼓励成为志愿者，许多学校俱乐部活动都围绕着志愿服务。学生视这些活动为参与社区和成人世界的一种方式。）”可知，美国高中生热衷于做志愿工作是因为他们希望参与社会活动，成为社区和成人世界的一部分。故选A项。 【63题详解】 词句猜测题。文章中划线的词 destitute 在第三段中，根据上下文，它很可能意味着 penniless（无钱的，贫困的）。原文中描述了人们因自然灾害而变得贫困和无家可归：...or another natural disaster which has left people destitute and homeless.（或者另一场自然灾害使人们变得贫困和无家可归。）故选B项。 【64题详解】 细节理解题。根据原文“The motive to help those less fortunate comes from the poor origins of the American nation. Those immigrants who were poor and downtrodden became dependent on the kindness of their neighbors to make a new life for themselves.（帮助那些不幸的人的动机来自于美国民族的贫穷起源。那些贫穷和受压迫的移民变得依赖邻居的仁慈来为自己创造新生活。）”可知，美国慈善活动的起源是因为早期的贫穷移民需要帮助来开始新生活。故选C项。 【65题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章的整体内容，最佳标题是 Voluntary Work in the US（美国的志愿工作）。这个标题概括了文章的主旨，即美国广泛的志愿者文化和参与志愿活动的多种形式。其他选项要么范围太窄（如C和D），要么与文章内容不符（如A）。根据原文“American volunteers work throughout the world in less developed countries. They volunteer by serving as a champion of goodwill both at home and abroad...（美国志愿者在世界各地的不发达国家工作。他们通过在国内外提供善意的服务来担任亲善大使...）”，这强调了美国志愿者的全球影响力，但最佳标题应聚焦于美国国内的志愿工作。故选B项。 D Last Friday, a special event took place at the National Theater of Korea. A robot called EveR 6 led an orchestra in a performance of Korean music. Robots have led orchestras in other countries, but this was the first time in Korea. EveR 6 is a robot built by the Korea Institute of Industrial Technology (KITECH). EveR 6 has joints in its neck, shoulders, elbows, and wrists. As a result, it can move its arms quickly and smoothly in many different directions. But EveR 6 doesn’t think on its own like some Artificial Intelligence (AI) programs. Instead, it has a limited group of movements that it has been trained to perform. EveR 6’s movements are based on movements “captured” from real human conductors. In Friday’s performance, the National Orchestra of Korea presented a concert titled “Absence”. The concert included five different pieces of music. Two were conducted by EveR 6, and two were conducted by Soo-Yeoul Choi, who led the Busan Philharmonic Orchestra. Both conductors worked together on the final piece. Mr. Choi was impressed with the way EveR 6 moved. But the robot’s greatest weakness is that it can’t hear. “Some people think that conducting is just a combination of hand waving and keeping the beat,” says Mr. Choi. But a good conductor needs to listen to the orchestra so that he or she can correct and encourage the orchestra as it plays. Mr. Choi said that once EveR 6 started, the musicians had “no choice but to follow its beats.” He said this created a situation where “the performers have to communicate with each other to follow the right beats.” Mr. Choi doesn’t think robots are likely to replace human conductors. However, he believes robots could be helpful in situations like practice sessions where the same thing needs to be repeated many times. 66. What can we learn about EveR 6? A. It is trained by human conductors. B. It can wave its arms smoothly. C. It has performed in Korea many times. D. It is more advanced than other AI programs. 67. Who conducted the final piece of the concert? A. EveR 6. B. Mr. Choi. C. EveR 6 and Mr. Choi. D. Nobody 68. What is the biggest limitation of EveR 6? A. It cannot hear and respond to the orchestra. B. It has difficulty capturing humans’ movements. C. It cannot beat time with its fingers. D. It doesn’t have human-like facial expressions. 69. Which can best describe EveR 6 being used in daily practice? A. Unworkable. B. Hard-to-use C. Time-saving. D. Useful. 70. What is the main idea of the text? A. EveR 6 brings conducting a bright future. B. Korean robot conducts orchestra. C. The war between robots and musicians is on. D. AI robots create music and perform it on stage. 【答案】66. B 67. C 68. A 69. D 70. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了机器人指挥管弦乐队的情况。 【66题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“As a result, it can move its arms quickly and smoothly in many different directions. (因此，它可以在许多不同的方向上快速而平稳地移动手臂)”可知它能平稳地挥动着手臂，故选B。 【67题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Two were conducted by EveR 6, and two were conducted by Soo-Yeoul Choi, who led the Busan Philharmonic Orchestra. Both conductors worked together on the final piece. (两支由EveR 6指挥，两支由釜山爱乐乐团的指挥的崔秀荣指挥。两位指挥家在最后一首曲子中一起工作)”可知，在最后一首曲子中，是由EveR 6 和 Mr. Choi.一起完成的。故选C。 【68题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Mr. Choi was impressed with the way EveR 6 moved. But the robot’s greatest weakness is that it can’t hear.(Mr. Choi 对 EveR 6的行动方式印象深刻。但这个机器人最大的缺点是它听不见)”可知，它最大的局限性在于它不能听到，因此更不能回应管弦乐队。故选A。 【69题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“However, he believes robots could be helpful in situations like practice sessions where the same thing needs to be repeated many times.(然而，他认为机器人在需要多次重复的练习中会有所帮助)”可知，在日常实践中，机器人是有帮助的，故是有用的，故选D。 【70题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Last Friday, a special concert took place at the National Theater of Korea. It included five different pieces of music. Two were conducted by a robot called EveR 6, and two were conducted by Soo-Yeoul Choi, who leads the Busan Philharmonic Orchestra. Both conductors worked together on the final piece.(5日，在国立剧场举行了特别音乐会。它包括五段不同的音乐。其中两首由名为EveR 6的机器人指挥，两首由釜山市立交响乐团首席崔秀烈指挥。两位指挥家在最后的作品中合作过)”结合文章主要讲述的是EveR 6指挥管弦乐队的情况。故选B。 第Ⅱ卷（共40分） 第四部分：写作 第一节：单词拼写（共5小题，每小题1分，满分5分） 71.

The special material is biodegradable, and can be used repeatedly. Founded in 2018, Krill uses fruit skin, orange seeds and coffee grounds collected from businesses in Italy to create their unique designs, including bookends, clocks, bowls, and lamps. Each product is made through a four-step process. “There are a lot of companies that create designs, and we want to be different,” says MarcoDi Maio, director of operations at Krill. Krill has worked together with some well-known brands and has also joined in a Co. ffee Era project with the government of Milan to reduce coffee waste produced in three of the city's neighborhoods. Krill has made products that match the color of food waste. For example, bright orange products are from orange skin and rich dark brown products are from coffee grounds. Rekrill is as strong as wood and breaks down safely unless it's touched by water or acidity. It is also safe for fish to eat. But despite its eco-friendly benefits, Rekrill is more expensive than common plastic due to its complex production process. However, Krill hopes that as awareness of the environmental impact of plastics grows, Rekrill will be more widely used. Krill is exploring the use of other food waste, such as eggshells and leftover tomatoes and grapes, aiming to make its production process more efficient and cost-effective. The company believes Rekrill is the material of the future. Every small step they take toward a sustainable world contributes to a more recyclable economy and inspires others to follow suit. 76. How does the company Krill Design change the way people think about waste? (no more than 10 words) ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 77. How many steps does each product need before it is made? (no more than 2 words) ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 78. What is the disadvantage of Rekrill compared with common plastic? (no more than 5 words) ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 79. What does the underlined word in paragraph 1 mean? (no more than 1 word) ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 80. What do you think of Rekrill and explain? (no more than 20 words) ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】76. By creating furniture products from a plastic-like biomaterial named Rekrill. 77. Four steps 78. It is more expensive. 79. Renewable/Recyclable/Reusable. 或Breaking down easily 80. It is eco-friendly. Because it can break down easily and helps protect the environment. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一家名为Krill Design的米兰公司，该公司通过使用名为Rekrill的生物塑料材料来制造家具产品，从而改变了我们对废物的看法。Rekrill是一种可生物降解、可重复使用的材料，由意大利企业收集的水果皮、橙籽和咖啡渣制成。 【76题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第一段“Milan-based company Krill Design is changing the way we think about waste by creating furniture products from a plastic-like biomaterial named Rekrill.（米兰的Krill Design公司通过创造由名为Rekrill的类似塑料的生物材料制成的家具产品，改变了我们对废物的看法。）”可知，Krill Design公司通过创造由Rekrill这种类似塑料的生物材料制成的家具产品，改变了人们对废物的看法。故答案填By creating furniture products from a plastic-like biomaterial named Rekrill. 【77题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第二段“Each product is made through a four-step process.（每个产品都是通过一个四步流程制成的。）”可知，每个产品在制造之前需要经过四个步骤。故答案填Four steps。 【78题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第四段“But despite its eco-friendly benefits, Rekrill is more expensive than common plastic due to its complex production process.（尽管它具有环保优势，但由于其复杂的生产过程，Rekrill比普通塑料更昂贵。）”可知，与普通塑料相比，Rekrill的缺点是它更昂贵。故答案填It is more expensive. 79题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第四段“Rekrill is as strong as wood and breaks down safely unless it's touched by water or acidity.（Rekrill和木头一样坚固，除非接触到水或酸性物质，否则可以安全分解。）”可知，文章中划线的词指的是Rekrill材料的可生物降解特性。故答案填Renewable/Recyclable/Reusable. 或Breaking down easily。 【80题详解】 考查推理判断。根据第四段“It is also safe for fish to eat. But despite its eco-friendly benefits, Rekrill is more expensive than common plastic due to its complex production process.（它对鱼类也是安全的。但尽管它具有环保优势，但由于其复杂的生产过程，Rekrill比普通塑料更昂贵。）”可知，因为它容易分解，有助于保护环境。所以考生可以认为Rekrill是一种环保材料。故答案填It is eco-friendly. Because it can break down easily and helps protect the environment. 第三节：书面表达 (满分25分) 81. 假如你是晨光中学学生会主席李津。随着外卖行业的普及，你看到身边的好多同学都用外卖代替正餐。你觉得这不是个好习惯。请你结合以下要点，为校英文广播站撰稿： （1）常吃外卖的危害； （2）提出健康饮食的建议； （3）发出倡议。 注意：（1）词数不少于100； （2）可以适当增加细节，使内容充实、行文连贯； （3）开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 参考词汇：外卖takeaway Dear fellow students, ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Dear fellow students, With the popularity of takeaway, I’ve noticed many students around me choose it as a regular meal. However, it is an unhealthy diet. First of all, takeaway contains high fat and calorie. Depending on it too much, we are likely to put on weight. Besides, without enough nutrition, our body will not function well in the long run. To solve this problem, we should bear a balanced diet in mind. In our daily life, we’d better take in more grains, eggs, milk, fruit and vegetables to satisfy our daily needs. What’s more, home-made food is a better choice for us, which is more nutritious and tasty. We can sense the family love as well while we enjoy it. Let’s have less takeaway from now on and form a healthy eating habit. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文，要求考生就健康饮食的问题向全体同学发出号召。考生应该补充适当细节以使行文流畅。 【详解】1. 词汇积累： 流行：popularity→trendiness, prevalence 不健康的：unhealthy→harmful, detrimental 营养：nutrition→nourishment, sustenance 家庭关爱：family love→familial affection, domestic warmth 2. 句式拓展： 简单句变复合句 原句：Depending on it too much, we are likely to put on weight. 拓展句：If we depend on it too much, we are likely to put on weight. 【点睛】【高分句型1】What’s more, home-made food is a better choice for us, which is more nutritious and tasty.（which引导的非限定性定语从句） 【高分句型2】We can sense the family love as well while we enjoy it.（while引导的时间状语从句） 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重点校联考 高二英语 本试卷分为第I卷（选择题）和第Ⅱ卷（非选择题）两部分，共150分，考试时间120分钟。 第Ⅰ卷（共110分） 第一部分：听力（共两节，满分15分） 第一节（共5小题，每小题1分，满分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，并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后，你将有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. 此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 What will the weather be like tomorrow?

B “No one can promise that life will be fair,” but no matter what happens, follow the example set by Rehan Staton, and never lose sight of your goal. Staton, a 24-year-old former sanitation (环卫) worker in Maryland, US, recently celebrated his acceptance into Harvard Law School. Staton’s life was relatively normal until a series of setbacks impacted his family life and studies. “Things were pretty good until I was 8 years old. My mom abandoned my dad, my brother and me when she moved back to Sri Lanka.” he said. When he was in seventh grade, a teacher even recommended that he be placed in special education classes. His brother Reggie then brainstormed ways to help boost his grades. An aerospace engineer also offered to tutor him free of charge. Staton’s grades did improve and he became an honor student. However, he was rejected by every college he had applied for. So to help support himself and his family, Staton began working at a sanitation company. He spent his days transporting trash and cleaning dumpsters (垃圾箱), waking up every morning to get dressed around 4 am. “The sanitation workers were the only people in my life who told me I could be somebody,” Staton said, “They would say, ‘You’re too young to be here. Go to college, and come back if it doesn’t work out’”. The son of the company’s owner helped Staton contact a professor at Bowie State University, and the university eventually accepted Staton. Things began to look up. Two years later, he transferred to the University of Maryland to continue pursuing his undergraduate degree. But Staton still struggled to pay for his father’s medical bills. He’d work in the morning and take classes in the afternoon. After graduation, Staton worked at a national consulting firm while applying for law school. He plans to start at Harvard this fall, where he will major in sports law to pursue his dream of becoming a sports agent. “For Rehan, the sky is truly the limit. Whatever he chooses to do in the future, he will definitely achieve,” said a chief operating officer of Staton’s firm. For anyone looking for inspiration during difficult times, Staton recommends to “love yourself enough to get what you want out of life,” he told news outlet ABC. “You can always see the light in any dark situation, and you need to hold on to that light.” 56. It is implied in the passage that ______. A. Stanton was considered too young to be a sanitation worker B. all the classes in the University of Maryland were in the afternoon C. Stanton worked as a sports agent while applying for law school D. at one time Stanton didn’t have a satisfying academic performance 57. Why did Rehan Staton work as a sanitation worker? A. To gain some work experience. B. To help lighten his family’s financial burdens. C. To save money for his college education. D. To help the sanitation workers who once helped him. 58. What does the underlined sentence in the second-to-last paragraph imply? A. Rehan was an observant sky-lover. B. Rehan has limitations on what major he can choose. C. Rehan has an extreme fear of heights. D. Rehan has endless potential to realize his dream. 59. Which words can best describe Rehan Staton? A. Strong-minded and optimistic. B.

C It’s not uncommon in America for a person to belong to some kind of volunteer group. Donating one’s time and services is very much a part of the American way of life. Most charitable activities are organized by churches and groups around the nation and even encouraged by the government. The helping hand is extended to the poor, the homeless and the disabled. Some people work to teach youngsters how to read. Others open up soup kitchens to feed the homeless. Volunteers also take care of the disabled by making reading tapes for the blind and working in orphanages (孤儿院) to help children without parents. High school students are often encouraged to become volunteers and many school club activities center around volunteer services. Students may work with disabled children during a summer program, or participate in a club activity which helps to bring meal to senior citizens who are shut-ins. With their sense of idealism students are often eager to donate their spare time. They see such activities as a way of becoming involved in the community and the adult-world. Social action for them becomes as important as their academic studies. In a like manner, throughout the year, fund raising drives are also conducted by schools and community groups to raise money for a worthy cause. They may respond to a recent earthquake in a foreign country, a flood somewhere within their own, or another natural disaster which has left people destitute and homeless. They may organize drives to collect food, clothing and medicines to serve an immediate need. Today even the Halloween custom of ‘trick or treat’ has become an occasion to collect money for a charitable cause. The motive to help those less fortunate comes from the poor origins of the American nation. Those immigrants who were poor and downtrodden (受压迫的) became dependent on the kindness of their neighbors to make a new life for themselves. American volunteers work throughout the world in less developed countries. They volunteer by serving as a champion of goodwill both at home and abroad, which no doubt enriches both his life and those whom he serves. 61. Which of the following charitable activities is NOT mentioned in the passage? A. Some people open up soup kitchens to feed homeless people. B. Some students bring meals to old people who can’t go out easily. C. Some people collect money to help a foreign country with a recent earthquake. D. Some students donate books to children in mountainous areas. 62. Why are American high school students eager to do voluntary work? A. Because they want to participate in some social activities. B. Because they want to go to better universities. C. Because they can get higher scores at school. D. Because they can realize their dream sooner. 63. The underlined word “destitute” in Paragraph 3 probably means ______________. A. lifeless B. penniless C. useless D. valueless 64. American charitable activities started because ______________. A. Americans are always ready to share with others B. Americans are mostly kind C poor immigrants needed help to make a new life D. poor Americans couldn’t live on without help 65. What’s the best title of the passage? A. The Call from the Poor B. Voluntary Work in the US C. Ways to Help the Poor D. American Volunteers around the World D Last Friday, a special event took place at the National Theater of Korea. A robot called EveR 6 led an orchestra in a performance of Korean music. Robots have led orchestras in other countries, but this was the first time in Korea. EveR 6 is a robot built by the Korea Institute of Industrial Technology (KITECH). EveR 6 has joints in its neck, shoulders, elbows, and wrists. As a result, it can move its arms quickly and smoothly in many different directions. But EveR 6 doesn’t think on its own like some Artificial Intelligence (AI) programs. Instead, it has a limited group of movements that it has been trained to perform. EveR 6’s movements are based on movements “captured” from real human conductors. In Friday’s performance, the National Orchestra of Korea presented a concert titled “Absence”. The concert included five different pieces of music. Two were conducted by EveR 6, and two were conducted by Soo-Yeoul Choi, who led the Busan Philharmonic Orchestra. Both conductors worked together on the final piece. Mr. Choi was impressed with the way EveR 6 moved. But the robot’s greatest weakness is that it can’t hear. “Some people think that conducting is just a combination of hand waving and keeping the beat,” says Mr. Choi. But a good conductor needs to listen to the orchestra so that he or she can correct and encourage the orchestra as it plays. Mr. Choi said that once EveR 6 started, the musicians had “no choice but to follow its beats.” He said this created a situation where “the performers have to communicate with each other to follow the right beats.” Mr. Choi doesn’t think robots are likely to replace human conductors. However, he believes robots could be helpful in situations like practice sessions where the same thing needs to be repeated many times. 66. What can we learn about EveR 6? A. It is trained by human conductors. B. It can wave its arms smoothly. C. It has performed in Korea many times. D. It is more advanced than other AI programs. 67. Who conducted the final piece of the concert? A. EveR 6. B. Mr. Choi. C. EveR 6 and Mr. Choi. D. Nobody 68 What is the biggest limitation of EveR 6? A. It cannot hear and respond to the orchestra. B. It has difficulty capturing humans’ movements. C. It cannot beat time with its fingers. D. It doesn’t have human-like facial expressions. 69. Which can best describe EveR 6 being used in daily practice? A. Unworkable. B. Hard-to-use C. Time-saving. D. Useful. 70. What is the main idea of the text? A. EveR 6 brings conducting a bright future. B. Korean robot conducts orchestra. C. The war between robots and musicians is on. D. AI robots create music and perform it on stage. 第Ⅱ卷（共40分） 第四部分：写作 第一节：单词拼写（共5小题，每小题1分，满分5分） 71. By a___________the parts of the sentence we learn more about English grammar. (根据首字母单词拼写) 72.

The special material is biodegradable, and can be used repeatedly. Founded in 2018, Krill uses fruit skin, orange seeds and coffee grounds collected from businesses in Italy to create their unique designs, including bookends, clocks, bowls, and lamps. Each product is made through a four-step process. “There are a lot of companies that create designs, and we want to be different,” says MarcoDi Maio, director of operations at Krill. Krill has worked together with some well-known brands and has also joined in a Co. ffee Era project with the government of Milan to reduce coffee waste produced in three of the city's neighborhoods. Krill has made products that match the color of food waste. For example, bright orange products are from orange skin and rich dark brown products are from coffee grounds. Rekrill is as strong as wood and breaks down safely unless it's touched by water or acidity. It is also safe for fish to eat. But despite its eco-friendly benefits, Rekrill is more expensive than common plastic due to its complex production process. However, Krill hopes that as awareness of the environmental impact of plastics grows, Rekrill will be more widely used. Krill is exploring the use of other food waste, such as eggshells and leftover tomatoes and grapes, aiming to make its production process more efficient and cost-effective. The company believes Rekrill is the material of the future. Every small step they take toward a sustainable world contributes to a more recyclable economy and inspires others to follow suit. 76.
