Here's a look at how the locals celebrate Christmas through cuisine in their countries, which will give you a glimpse of the celebrations. England The real festivities start on Christmas morning with champagne and smoked salmon. After the King's or Queen's annual Christmas speech, it's time for the main meal, typically including a turkey or roast beef accompanied by various side dishes. France The French celebrate their Christmas Eve with a lavish meal, with seafood served first. The main course usually consists of a rooster that's renowned for its tenderness. Fine red wine from Burgundy can't be missed of course. Italy Similar to France, Italians celebrate Christmas on the eve. The locals typically attend midnight Mass and then indulge in a lavish meal before heading to church. For the main course, northern Italians often have stuffed turkey, while those in seaside areas may feast on a large baked sea bass accompanied by roasted potatoes and vegetables. Greece After attending an early morning holy communion in church on Christmas, Greeks go home for an all-day eating gathering. Families gather around the fireplace, feasting on a special wheat bread only made at Christmas. Later, the main course may include roast chicken stuffed with chestnuts. 21. What activity distinguishes England in Christmas celebration? A. The seafood-themed dinner. B. The yearly Royal address. C. The religious ceremony. D. The main course featuring turkey. 22. To experience the religious atmosphere, you'd better spend Christmas in . A. France and Italy. B. England and France. C. England and Greece. D. Italy and Greece. 23. From which column of the magazine is the passage probably from? A. Festival and tradition. B. Diet and health. C. Religion and culture. D. Sports and fitness. B several years ago, a worldwide heavy rain was predicted, but no one got prepared for what was to come. Then, some areas received over 100 cm of rain. Cars and trucks floated down the streets. Whole buildings were swept away. At least 225 people lost their lives, and millions became homeless. the weather is always changing. Over the past few years, heavy rains have led to floods in many parts of the world. Droughts have taken place in Brazil and Australia. There have been heat waves in Europe which killed thousands. There have been more powerful hurricanes and tornadoes than ever before. In 2017 alone, the financial cost from global weather events was up to 340 billion dollars With more wild weather events happening, people couldn't help asking questions: What is happening with the weather? And why? Is this natural, or our fault? The answer seems to be: a little of both. Wild weather is natural. But most scientists hold the same view that human activity has made the Earth warmer. It is this global warming that makes heat waves more likely. The higher temperatures also result in more water to go into the air, which causes heavier and more frequent rain. Many scientists also believe global warming makes hurricanes and other storms stronger. This means we're likely to see more wild weather. “But we don't have to just stand there and accept it,” says scientist Michael. He and other experts say we need to stop the Earth from getting warmer. We also need to be prepared, to do things that will help save lives. 24. What's the main idea of the first paragraph? A. A past weather event happened in some areas in the world. B. Some facts are listed about the global warming. C. A number of recent weather events happened over the world. D. Wild weather is partly the result of human activity. 25. How does paragraph two develop? A. By predicting how the weather will change in a few years. B. By describing a serious flood that once happened. C. By giving a lot of examples of recent wild weather events. D. By comparing the former wild weather with what happened now 26. What does scientist Michael's words mean? A. People can not do anything to prevent wild weather. B. It is too late to stop global warming. C. If people stop global warming, the weather will be better. D. People have to stand by art d accept what will happen to us. 27. Where can you probably find the text? A. In a tourist brochure B. In a research paper C. In a science fiction D. In a nature magazine C As AI art generators (生成器) take the world by storm, some people wonder if their works should count as art at all. The technology is still developing and has some wrinkles to iron out, which means there are indeed flaws to consider alongside the incredible artwork a good artificial intelligence can produce. Art is classed as the product of imagination, skill, experience, and emotion, usually meant to represent something for the public to enjoy. Artists spent time and effort putting their inner worlds onto these works. Machine intelligence also puts a lot of work into sorting through tons of data, linking someone's prompt to databasets, and trying to represent it as best as possible. The difference is that the AI is driven by commands instead of an emotional desire to express itself. AI painters can produce over 1,000 original works of art with every tap of the enter key on a keyboard. But a /mass-produced print of the MonqLisa is worth less than the actual Leonardo da Vinci's painting. Why? Scarcity — there's only one of the original. Should anyone pay for these things? And if an artist puts AI masterpieces up for sale, what should the price be? AI art involves a program mimicking(模仿) the work of existing artists to create a new piece according to the request of a human. But who made the artwork, the machine or its user? And can the original artists sue (起诉) for copyright violation? Such questions complicate the merging of artificial intelligence and the art industry, while fueling arguments against recognizing AI-generated art as marketable artistic products. Once we've answered those questions, we can tackle the really big one: When an AI-generated painting wins an award, who gets the prize? 28. What does the underlined word “flaws” in paragraph l probably mean? A. Benefits. B. Weaknesses. C. Standards. D. Advances. 29. How is AI art different from human art? A. It is the product of experience. B. It combines different styles of work. C. It is not a mirror of humans' emotions. D. It costs less money to produce. 30. Why does the writer mention Mona Lisa in the third paragraph? A. To prove the popularity of classic artworks. B. To present the potential trouble with the value of AI art. C. To show the advantages of AI painters over human artists. D. To introduce a new way of preserving art masterpieces. 31. What can we infer from paragraph 4? A. AI art makes copyright issues more complicated. B. AI art promotes the sale of artistic products. C. Artists can create more works with the help of AI. D. There will be fierce competition in the art industry. D Eating a juicy steak is worse for the environment than frying up some tofu: that should come as no surprise. Going vegan can greatly cut the carbon footprint of your diet. But what about the fewer calories, and lower levels of protein, found in most plant-based foods when compared with meat? To make the relative carbon impact of foods easier to understand, The Economist proposes a banana index(指 数). It compares popular foodstuffs in three aspects——weight, calories and protein——compared to the humble banana, a fruit of middling nutritional value and impact on weather conditions. Indexing greenhouse-gas emissions to a single food gives a sense of how different foodstuffs rank. Unfortunately for carnivores(食肉动物), beef is bad for the environment no matter how you slice it. Producing one kilogram of mince(馅) causes as many emissions as 109kg of bananas (call it a “banana score” of 109). As for nutritional value, beef’s banana score falls to 54(one calorie of beef mince causes 54 times as much carbon emissions as one calorie of banana). By protein, it scores seven. Poultry (家禽) scores 11 bananas by weight and four by calorie. However, as a source of protein, it is more carbon-friendly than bananas: poultry protein emits just three-fifths of the same amount of banana protein. The same applies to salmon. Unsurprisingly, plant-based alternatives to meat do even better: a meat-free burger, for instance, scores just one-fifth of the emissions of bananas per gram of protein. Our banana index relies on average emissions for a given food. In the real world some producers are more climate-friendly than others, and some foods travel farther to consumers. Our banana index also does not capture other environmental impacts, such as land and water use (though here too, beef tends to perform poorly). Voting in Europe suggests that most consumers want to be more climate-friendly——and with food production responsible for perhaps a quarter of global emissions, eating with the climate in mind would make a difference. Three-quarters of the respondents said they want labels that would explain the climate impact of their food. In the meantime, our banana index might help. 32. What's the most likely reason for bananas to be chosen as an object of reference? A. Bananas have fewer calories and less protein. B. Bananas are a humble fruit. C. Bananas have the least impact on the environment. D. Bananas are of medium climate effect and nutrition. 33. According to the index, which one is more carbon-friendly as a source of protein? A. Beef B. Poultry C. A meat-free burger. D. A banana 34. Which aspect of the index does paragraph 5 focus on? A. Its benefits B. Its drawbacks C. Its practical meanings D. Its principles 35. What does the passage mainly talk about? A. A way to measure the climate impact of food B. An approach to assessing nutritional value of food C. A great indicator of greenhouse-gas emissions D. A big helper in deciding what to buy 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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 It's no secret that reading good news feels a lot better than reading bad news. Like, would you rather bite into a lemon, or sip on a fresh glass of lemonade? 36 The world is full of problems and conflicts and we need to stay informed and alert to what's going on around us. While reading traditional, more negative news is important, consuming good news is also part of staying informed. 37 And it also brings meaningful benefits, like reduced stress and anxiety, higher rates of engagement, community building skills, and inspiration for creating a better world. Plus, knowing what to look for in the good news landscape is a key part of improving our media literacy skills and being thoughtful news umers. In fact, good news, known as solutions journalism, is becoming more popular, as publishers and news stations discover the benefits of sharing positive stories. Good Good Good is one of them. 38 A team of reporters and editors there work daily to deliver stories that make readers feel hopeful and equipped to do more good with possible solutions. “If it bleeds, it leads.” has long been a saying used in the media to describe how news stories about violence, death and destruction draw readers’ attention. 39 The thing is, however, there's also good stuff out there→the delightful and kind parts of humanity. “Beautiful stories are happening worldwide. 40 When you do hear or find them, the world can suddenly feel like a very different place. Good news is a vital part of how we learn about the world and solving the world's problems.” Hervey, one of Good Good Good's editors said. A. Share good news with people around you. B. But the “bad news” has its place in the world. C. It provides a more balanced view of the world. D. It's just that we don't hear as much about them. E. Heartwarming stories make you cry and feel good. F. And so, negative news stories are everywhere on news media. G. The news media company is devoted to providing good news intentionally. 第三部分 语言运用 (共三节，满分40分) 第一节 (共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I found a wonderful picture of Maolan karst cones online and presented it to the innkeeper. “You can't go there,” the innkeeper 41 me with a smile. “The viewing platform has been closed due to 42 that too many visitors could cause geological damage.” Though disappointed, we 43 an alternative: a seven-hour hike through the “funnel forest” .Initially, we were 44 to run the risk.

Throughout my childhood, whenever we competed in the 50-meter run, the 400-meter, or any other type of race, I would finish in the bottom half. In my late teens, as a member of a baseball team, I was the slowest runner on the team. In the preseason training, I was always the one running by myself at the end. Therefore, twenty years later, when I entered my first official running race — a 3,000-meter challenge in my city ——at age 38, I certainly didn't expect to win or come close to winning. I was there because my college friend Jim Hosek was the director of the race, and he asked me to run. The race was aimed at raising money for the unfortunate patients in a hospital and encouraging the patients and their families to be brave, determined, and confident with sportsmanship. It was a heartwarming program. I wanted to support it, so I showed up, paid the entrance fee, had a number pinned (把………别住) on my back, and moved over to the starting line. There, I waited with about 300 other runners for the race to begin. I was nervous. Would I be the last one to finish a race again? Could I even finish the race? I wondered. Before long, someone spoke into a microphone, “Anyone weighing over 200 pounds comes down to the scale(秤), please.” Knowing I was over 200 pounds, I walked down to the scale. A man told me to stand on it. “Two hundred and three pounds,” he said. Then he wrote down the race number that was on my back. Out of curiosity, I asked him why he did so, and then I was told there would be an award ceremony after the race. One award was for the first finisher in the over200-pound group, and this special award would be announced at the end of the ceremony. Not expecting the award, I ran towards the starting line, never realizing there were only two runners weighing over 200 pounds. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 Soon after, the race started. Then came the last award, and to my surprise, my name was announced. 黑龙江省实验中学2023-2024学年度高二学年下学期六月月考 英 语 试 卷 答 案 听力 1. CAABB 6. ABCBB 11. ACCBC 16. CAACA 阅读 21. BDAAC 26. CDBCB 31. ADCBA 36.

Bathed in sunshine, players from Grade 2 competed against their teachers in the football field surrounded by all the rest students, who were watching excitedly. Both teams were playing at their best in high spirits. Although the teachers took the lead in the game at first, the students did not lose heart and tried to catch up with their opponents.

While I was running, I saw many runners pass me on the way. Minutes later, I already felt tired. However, to encourage those in need, I tried to show the best of me, without worrying about the result. I kept moving forward as fast as I could. After most runners finished the race, I finally make it to the finish line. Despite the tiredness, I was satisfied. Shortly after the race, the award ceremony began and several awards were presented. Then came the last award, and to my surprise, my name was announced. Confused and excited, I walked up to the winner's platform and was awarded a medal. As the crowd cheered and clapped loudly, I felt warmth in my heart. After the ceremony, I learned from my friend Jim that there were only two runners weighing over 200 pounds. Although I only beat one person, Jim praised me for my determination, courage, and kindness. Honestly, I was proud of myself. This race increased my love for running and my confidence in myself. 听力录音原文 (Text 1) W: I can't keep up with all this work. M: What's the problem?

Watch TV, play computer games, cards, board games ... plus, it's good for the trees and grass. W:I want to be outside! On a clear day you can play sports, go shopping, or have a picnic. M: That does sound like fun. Why don't we go play badminton? W: Yeah, let's go! (Text 7) M: Hi, I want to know your business hours. Does the bank open on weekends, as well? W: We're closed on Sundays. But on Saturdays, we open at 9 a. m. and close at 3 p. m., which is 2hours earlier than weekdays. M: Oh, okay. If I arrive at around 4:30 tomorrow afternoon, can I open a new bank account? W: Of course. Sometimes, it's very crowded though. M:And does it usually take long to open a new account? W: It depends. Usually it takes about thirty minutes, but if you bring a downloaded application form all filled out before the visit, it can save some time. You can download it from our website. Oh, and you must bring some identification. (Text 8) W: Hi Sam. Did you go to the college fashion show last week? M: Hi, Emma! Yes, I did! Did you? W: Yes, I went with some friends, but I didn't see you there. Did you go alone? M:I was going to go with a friend from college, but he was busy, so I went with my cousin Anna. She's studying fashion design at university. W: When did you go? We were there on Sunday. M: We actually went twice, once on Friday afternoon and then again on Saturday for the costume show. W:I missed that one. The children's fashion show was interesting, but I didn't like the sports clothes one. My friend Melissa didn't like it, either. She said it was boring. M: That was Anna's opinion, too, but I thought all the shows were brilliant. (Text 9) M: I'm with Ella Fletcher, who's currently working as a lighting technician at a theatre. Ella, welcome. What attracted you to this job? W: Well, I've always been interested in brightly-colored light shows, like the ones you see at rock concerts. I've always been keen on fireworks displays too. But I think a play I went to ages ago was the original inspiration -the memory of the amazing lighting they used has stayed with me. M: So what do theatre lighting technicians do, exactly? W: Well, our theatre director once said many people think we just turn the lights on and off at the beginning and end of a performance. In fact, lighting technicians really help the audience to get what's happening on the stage during a play. M:You started getting involved with stage lighting at school, didn't you? W: I did. For the first play I helped with, I drew up a really detailed plan for the play lighting. My teacher was impressed——but then politely pointed out the play was actually set during the day, so no darkness was required! (Text 10) M: Good morning and welcome to our conference on the toy industry. I'd like to start by saying a few words about what you can expect from the conference, since some of the details on the original plan have changed. After the introduction by Sally Connor, Kenji Nakamura will give a talk. That's from 10 a. m. to 11:30 a. m. He will tell you about the most recent development s in the toy industry in Japan and will show a short film. This will be followed by the question part. Then at 12:00, we’ll have a break for lunch. This will be a buffet meal, served in Victoria Hall, which is on the opposite side of the building, next to the library. After lunch, we’ll return here for Toys in Britain: Success and Failure. This talk will be given by Robert Price who, as you know, is the owner of a chain of over 200 toy shops in the UK. The next talk What's Next for Toys? will take place immediately after this, at 3:30. This will be given by Sarah Smith, who is, of course, our Sales Manager. Sarah’s talk will finish at 5 p. m. After that, tea and juice will be served in the Green Room, which is on the first floor.
