B Native to New Zealand, this sweet little bird is called the tūturiwhatu, or New Zealand dotterel, and though endangered, it has found a unique shelter where it can nest and feed in relative peace. Relative, because it comes with a significant amount of noise pollution. It’s the Auckland Airport, and 4 pairs of dotterels have been recorded in the green areas alongside the outer runways this year. Even though human activities are on the whole the largest driver of species decline around the Earth, what can be an obstacle to one species can be a shelter to another, and in the case of the Auckland Airport, wildlife manager Lucy Hawley said the high fences keep out the bird’s invasive predators. “This is very attractive to nesting dotterels and our airfield’s become a real shelter for them,” Hawley told RZN.com. “These tiny little birds take absolutely no notice of the giant planes moving all around them and have no issues setting up home right beside the taxiways.” Over the last ten years, Hawley has estimated that she and her groundskeepers have seen 80 dotterels hatch on the taxiways of the country’s busiest airport. The parents typically arrive between November and December. Over time the airport has taken time to work with professional wildlife biologists who have banded some of the birds in order to track their movements and nesting behavior. Concerning the dotterel, there may only be 2,500 of them left in the country following years of egg predation from invasive creatures like stoats. Fortunately, the ground-nesting bird poses no risk to aviation and can live alongside the planes in relative comfort. Hawley and her team use stakes(篱笆桩) to mark the nesting sites which can be practically invisible among the grass blades.“We love doing our part to help this important species to breed,” she said. 24. Where do these New Zealand dotterels live? A. In a bird shelter. B. In a busy airport. C. On a motorway. D. In an abandoned airport. 25. What can be learned from Hawley’s words? A. Dotterels have poor hearing. B. Beautiful airfield is a big attraction to dotterels. C. High fences are obstacles to dotterels’ natural enemies. 2024 年 6 月 第 5 页 共 10 页 D. Dotterels are natural architects and have great nesting skill. 26. What do Hawley’s team do to protect the species? A. They ensure the safety of its nest. B. They help it build the nest and breed. C. They move its nest to a nearby reserve. D. They track its possible invasive predators. 27. What can be inferred from the passage? A. Illegal hunting has pushed dotterels to extinction. B. Dotterels are putting the airport in great potential danger. C. Excessive human protection does no good to endangered animals. D. Endangered dotterels and the busy airport coexist in relative harmony. C The stranger struck up conversation on a delayed flight between Florida and New York. We were both struggling to entertain our kids, and we sympathized with each other awhile. After the children fell asleep, he told me he’d recently left the church. He said he missed the community and the certainty he once felt. He was still figuring out how to raise a child without faith: for example, would I say there was a heaven if my daughter asked, even if I didn’t fully believe it? Maybe it feels more natural to speak intimately with a stranger on a flight, when you are both uprooted, not quite sure if it’s night or day or where the sun should hang in the sky. For a few hours we talked about fear and loss, and I later thought that while this kind of intensity is discouraged, maybe such subjects are actually best explored with someone completely unfamiliar to you, who sees the world quite differently. Once on solid ground again, the man told me he’d actually had a lot of life-changing chats with strangers. He was inspired by the cognitive scientist Laurie Santos, whose course on the science of well-being is now available for free online. Santos teaches that the pursuit of happiness is often counter-intuitive. The things we think will make us feel happier – acing exams, securing a dream job, buying that dress – usually don’t, but small habits can make a big difference. One of them is talking to strangers. While we tend to focus on our close relationships, psychologists have noticed that even what they call “minimal social interactions” can make us feel happier and more connected. One study found that people who had a brief chat with their waiter, or simply made eye contact and smiled, felt happier and experienced a greater sense of belonging than those who treated the human being in front of them as an extension of the coffee machine. I feel lucky that as a journalist I speak to more strangers than most. Encounters with strangers can be a reminder of the vastness of the world and of each other, the impossible-feeling truth that each one of us contains an entire universe of inner life and a singular perspective. 28. What was the man’s problem? A. The naughty kids exhausted him. B. His daughter was against his faith. C. Talking to a stranger intimately was improper. D. He was uncertain about whether he should back to church. 29. What can we learn from Laurie Santos’ course? 2024 年 6 月 第 6 页 共 10 页 A. Our happiness depends on whether we can land an ideal job. B. The pursuit of happiness is seemingly contrary to our common sense. C. Getting all A grades in the exam will absolutely make us feel happier. D. Satisfying your material needs is the way to your happiness and well-being. 30. Why does the author mention the study in a coffee shop in paragraph 4? A. To compare human waiters with coffee machines. B. To show the mental benefits of minimal social interactions. C. To share some customers’ happy memory in the coffee shop. D. To criticize some customers didn’t treat their waiter as human-being. 31. What’s the best title of the passage? A. An Unforgettable Flight Experience B. A Life-changing Chat with a Father C. Interactions with Strangers:the More, the Merrier D. Different Individuals with a Singular Perspective D Humans have always looked to nature for inspiration to solve problems. Leonardo da Vinci applied biomimicry to the study of birds in the hope of enabling human flight.Although he was not successful at his own flying machine, his ideas lived on and were the source of inspiration for the Wright Brothers, who were also inspired by their observations of pigeon in flight, They finally did succeed in creating and flying the first airplane in 1903. Recent success stories exist in terms of how biomimicry can be applied to building design. While buildings serve to protect us from nature's extremes, this does not mean that they do not have anything to learn from the biological world. In fact, nature regularly builds structures with functionality that human-built structures could use fully emulate. Biomimetic research, science and applications continue to grow and are already influencing the next generation of building products and systems as well as whole building designs. For example, photovoltaic systems ( 光 伏 系 统 ), which harvest solar energy, are a first step at mimicking the way a leaf harvests energy. Research is underway to create solar cells that are very similar to nature. These cells are water-gel-based—essentially artificial leaves that couple plant chlorophyll ( 叶 绿 素 ) with carbon materials, ultimately resulting in a more flexible and cost-effective solar cell. The rough surface of a lotus leaf acts as a self-cleaning mechanism allowing dirt to be cleansed off the surface naturally by water, for instance, during a rain shower. Even the smallest of breezes on the plant causes a subtle shift in the angle of the plant allowing gravity to remove the dirt without the plant having to consume any energy. This same idea has been applied to the design of new building materials such as paints, textiles, and glass that reduce the need for cleaning and also reduce maintenance and material replacement costs. 32. What can we learn from paragraph 1? A. Da Vinci's idea was of little practical use. B. Da Vinci was the first to study biomimicry. C.The Wright Brothers owed their success to da Vinci. D. Pigeons are one source of the inspiration for the first airplane. 33. What does the underlined word “emulate” in paragraph 2 probably mean? 2024 年 6 月 第 7 页 共 10 页 A. Compare. B. Perform. C. Copy. D. Apply. 34. What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs? A. Solar cells are more productive with lower cost. B. Solar cells have been widely used in conserving energy. C. The lotus leaves can be employed in new building materials. D. The effect of gravity inspired the development of self-cleaning materials. 35. What is the main idea of the text? A. Nature has inspired many inventions and will continue to. B. It is rewarding for designers to observe and learn from nature. C. Humans have benefited a lot from consuming natural resources. D. Even the greatest scientists need to stand on the shoulders of giants. 第二节（共 5小题：每小题 2. 5分, 满分 12. 5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。 People approach their work and future career plan differently depending on their personal beliefs, values, and worldview. 36 However, I am convinced that personal profit is not the final point in performing my working duties. 37 . The first one regards self-realization, as I appreciate my work for the possibility of developing my skills and update my knowledge.

This way, it is possible to achieve self-realization in career path and provide benefit for clients and colleagues. A. Two major objectives are set in my professional activity. B. The focus in my work, thus, is on their outcomes instead of future profits. C. I am convinced that helping others solve problems and meet their needs is the purpose of any job. D.

I was in the middle of a busy day, with my mind on what I had to do next. As I dr ove along a busy street, I noticed a young boy walking out from the entrance to an apartment complex（公寓 群） on the other side of the street. I couldn't see beyond the entrance with trees and bushes shading it but I hoped that his family was there, abo ut to appear behind him. The boy was young, maybe four years old, and it was a strange sight to see him alone near the busy street, even if just for a little while. I continued to look behind me but I didn't see anyone else coming out to join him as cars ran swiftly past him. Then, I saw him turning around and running back toward the entrance. I smiled in relief, as I hoped that he was heading back towards his family. Still, I felt I should check to be sure he was safe and did a U-turn as soon as I was able. As I drove back to where I first saw him, I was expecting to see him was safe, with his family around him. Instead, as I got closer, I saw that he had changed directions again, crossed the median(隔离带) and was quickly running in the opposite direction of the apartment buildings. I pulled my car over quickly and as I did so, all the cars on both sides of the street suddenly stopped as well, as if just realizing the potential danger of the situation. I crossed the street and went up to him. He stopped as I approached, looking at me cautiously and backed away slightly towards the road. I didn't want to scare him so I bent down a bit. Seeing a piece of paper in his hand, I asked him where his parent were but he did not answer. Instead, he said he was going to where his dad worked and then continued to run away from me along the median. 注意：1. 续写词数应为 150 左右。 2. 请按以下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 At this point, a man in another car asked if I needed help and I said yes. _______________________ _______________________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________________ I saw his dad racing towards us and heard him calling out the boy’s name._______________________ _______________________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________________ 1 2022 级高二下 6 月热身考试英语答案 【听力】 1-5 BCAAB 6-10 ACBAC 11-15 ABCAC 16-20 CBBAC 【阅读理解】 21—23 DCB 24—27 BCAD 28—31 DBBC 32—35 DCAA 36—40 EACGD 【完形填空】 41-45 BCACD 46-50 ABDCA 51-55 DDBCA 【语法填空】 56. amazingly 57. taught 58. with 59. to reach 60. competitors 61. which 62. desired 63. or 64. solving 65. personal 【书面表达】 应用文写作参考范文一 Dear Chris, How is everything going? Last Saturday, our class went on a hiking trip to the Forest Park with the theme "Close to Nature". It was an incredible experience that I'd like to share with you. We were welcomed by the serene beauty of the forest, where we saw a variety of plants and animals. The most impressive sight was a group of deer grazing peacefully near a small lake. We also learned about different tree species and their importance to the ecosystem. This trip made me realize how vital it is to protect nature for future generations. It was refreshing to disconnect from technology and immerse ourselves in the natural world. I felt more connected to the Earth and gained a deeper appreciation for its wonders. Looking forward to hearing from you. Yours, Li Hua 应用文写作参考范文二 Dear Chris, I hope this email finds you well. Last Saturday, our class participated in a hiking activity in the Forest Park with the theme of "Embrace Nature." The experience was truly remarkable. The lush greenery and the serene atmosphere of the park left a lasting impression on me. The chirping of birds and the rustling of leaves underfoot reminded me of the beauty of nature. We also encountered a family of squirrels, which added a touch of cuteness to our hike. 2 This experience made me realize how important it is to connect with nature and appreciate its wonders. I hope to have more such opportunities in the future. Have you had any exciting adventures lately? Looking forward to hearing from you soon. Best regards, Li Hua 读后续写参考范文一 At this point, a man in another car asked if I needed help and I said yes. Then he walked towards the boy, saying softly that we were just trying to help him. Hearing his gentle words, the boy eventually walked slowly out of the median and followed us to the sidewalk. He handed us the piece of paper, insisting on going to his dad’s office. There was nothing but some graffiti. Feeling confused, we had no choice but to comfort him . So we accompanied him at the entrance of the apartment until he suddenly cried "Dad". I saw his dad racing towards us and heard him calling out the boy's name. He ran to us swiftly through the crowd of cars. As he held his son tightly in his arms, he showed his gratitude sincerely, explaining that he had only been away for a moment and didn't expect his son to wander off. He apologized for the inconvenience caused and promised to be more careful in the future. As they walked away, hand in hand, I felt a sense of warmth and joy, knowing that my small act of kindness had made a difference in someone's life. 读后续写参考范文二 At this point, a man in another car asked if I needed help and I said yes. We exchanged a quick glance. I caught the boy’s attention, trying to persuade him to walk out of the median in a soft voice. The man quickly got out of his car, approaching the boy quietly. Then he gently grabbed the boy’s arm and took him to the pavement safely. We unfolded that paper, expecting to find a certain address or phone number. To our disappointment, nothing but the boy’s graffiti. We comforted and entertained the boy until he suddenly cried “Dad”. I saw his dad racing towards us and heard him calling out the boy's name. The young boy excitedly ran to his father and embraced him tightly. Witnessing their heartwarming reunion, I felt a sense of relief wash over me. The father expressed his gratitude for our assistance and explained that the boy had sneaked out of the office while he was asleep. This experience reminded me of the importance of remaining watchful and always being ready to lend a helping hand to those in need. 听力原文 Text 1 M: Excuse me, do you know where I can find the geography books? W: Just go to the coffee machine and keep walking, then turn right. M: OK, thanks! I’d also like to return these. Text 2 M: Are you going to make it to the basketball game tonight? I will be there right after debate team 3 practice. W: I can’t. I have a big maths test tomorrow. I have to prepare for it. Text 3 W: I’d like to go for a drink. Would you like to go with me? M: I’m not in the mood for that. I long to go to the cinema alone. W: It’d be better to travel around to relax yourself. Text 4 W: Did you like photography when you were a child? M: Yes. I have been interested in it since the age of nine. For me, a holiday is always about exploration — about finding beauty and the unknown and taking photos of them. Text 5 W: I am getting tired of taking the stairs.My apartment lift isn’t working. M: How long has it been broken? W: For two weeks. I have to walk three blocks after getting off the bus, and then take the stairs to the 7th floor. Text 6 W: Hey, Jack, can you believe it? In ten years, we’ll be in our late thirties! M: Time flies, doesn’t it, Emma? It’s crazy to think about where we’ll be by then. W: I know! ⑥I hope to have found my passion and be working in a satisfying career. Maybe even have a book published! M: That sounds incredible, Emma! As for me, I see myself living in a comfortable house, surrounded by loved ones. And who knows, maybe I’ll have traveled to every continent by then! W: That sounds like a dream come true, Jack! ⑦Let’s schedule a get-together in ten years and see how close we’ve come to these goals. Text 7 M: It’s so cold. You must really love this game to come standing here to watch your team every week. W: I love my team and I’m always there whenever they play. I won’t let a bit of bad weather stop me watching them. M: Well, ⑧I couldn’t do this every week. I’ve never been much of a football fan. W: Didn’t you play when you were at school? M: A little bit, but I was more into basketball and badminton. W: I do actually enjoy playing badminton. I took part in a few school competitions. M: You must have been good. W: Maybe. Or maybe I was just the best of a bad lot. Anyway, I enjoyed it... Hey, we’re missing the game by talking. M: ⑨What happened? Did somebody score? W: ⑨No, but it was a near thing. Let’s concentrate now. Text 8 W: So, ⑩our teacher wants us to write a 2,000-word story where the characters show bravery in difficult situations. M: That’s probably because there were several heroic stories in the news recently. But that’s twice the length of the last task we did! 4 W:⑪Why don’t we start by talking about what the word “courage” means to us? M: Well, to me, it’s not the absence of fear. Instead, it’s about facing your fears and dealing with them. W: Absolutely! For example, standing up to a bully (仗势欺人者 ), or risking your life to save someone else’s. M: Exactly! But it’s not always so exciting. ⑫I’d like to write about quiet courage such as my mom’s. W: Oh? M: Yes. ⑫My little brother is disabled, and she’s fought hard for years to make sure he gets the support he needs. To me, that’s courage. W:Wow! Maybe we should write about that. Text 9 M: OK, Mrs. Smith. I finished cleaning up the leaves in the garden. W: Oh, thank you, James. M: I also swept the front steps and took out the rubbish. Is there anything else I can help you with? W:⑭Can you also take my dog for a walk? M:⑭Sure! W: Thank you. Ever since I broke my leg, it has been difficult to take care of things around the house. My daughter Leah helps me out on Mondays and Tuesdays, ⑮and my son Eric on Thursdays. But I’m so happy that you can come on Saturdays. M: Well, I appreciate the weekend work. ⑯I’m saving up to buy a bike so I can ride to my basketball practice. W:Will you still be able to work for me after you get your bike? M: Of course! But don’t forget I will visit my grandfather next weekend. ⑰My sister Alison will come by instead. W: OK. Text 10 Hello, everyone! ⑱My name is Bruce Hall. I’m happy to teach you English. First of all, I’d like to tell you something about myself. I was born in Paris. When I grew up, I wanted to make money. The winter of Paris is cold, but I didn’t want to spend money on warm clothes. So I went to a warm place — Egypt, and led camels for tourists for two years. ⑲After some time, I went to study at California State University for four years, with the money I had earned in Egypt. Later, I went to Salt Lake City and became a high school teacher. It is five years since I came to China as a teacher of English. I have taught a wide range of students, such as kindergarten kids, primary school children, teenagers, university students and adults. My classes are designed specially to meet the needs of each student whether they want to prepare for various exams, study business English, or simply learn to speak English. I’m an honest, friendly and reliable person, and I love to get to know new people and ⑳I’m ready to accept new challenges as they come to me. So if you have any difficulty in learning English, please don’t hesitate to come to me. You may either call me at 8568992 or email me. 绵阳南山中学2024年春季高2022级期末热身考试 英语答题卡 班级 姓名 考号 注意事项 准考证号 1.答题前请将姓名、班级、考场、座号和准考证号填写清楚。 2.客观题答题，必须使用2B铅笔填涂，修改时用橡皮擦干净。 0 T01 【0] 1 3.主观题必须使用黑色签字笔书写 121 4.必须在题号对应的答题区域内作答，超出答题区域书写无效。 31 5.保特答卷清洁完整。 141 5 6 61 6 f61 正确填涂■ 错误填涂 71 7 考生禁填 8 独随专老种频 [8 81 8 8 8] 缺考☐ 违规☐ 191 19 191 91 9] 91 9 9] 19 【91 【91 客观题 1 I 6 刀I四 11 I 16 BC 21IBCD☑ A]BIC 7 A]B]C 12 □BIC 17 IB四g 22 A□BCD 3 A口BC 8 ABC 13 A BC 18 ABC 23 AOB□CD 4 A▣C 9 四 14 AO 19 刀四C 24 A四四C四刀 刀刃C 10刀B0四 15A□B0C 20 D网 25A▣BCD 26AOBC☑ 31四四 36 AB]C四四P四四 41ABCD 27 ABCO 32ABD四 37ABD 42A四B]C四D四 28 IB四D 33IB]四四 38 BI四四W口I 43四BIQ▣ 29 A和II 34AI四 39 和圆刀酒☐四 44A四 30 A□CD 35A□■B]C00m 40 A门B]MDMF图 45AB]C 46 IBID四 51 AB C 47 IC四DI 52 刀BI四四 48 53 AJBCD 49 BJCD四 54 和BI四四 50 B刃CM四 55 四四 语法填空 56、 57、 58、 59、 60. 61 62. 63、 64 65 请在各题目的作答区域内作答，超出矩形边框限定区域的答案无效 第1页共2页 ■ 请保持答题卡干净整洁，不要污损 ■ 请在各题目的作答区域内作答，超出矩形边框限定区域的答案无效 应用文写作 Dear Chris.
