In an effort to connect these individuals with the agricultural industry, a show tackles the topic by inviting ten young men from various fields to experience life on the farmland. It offers insights into farming practices and modern agricultural production. Become a Farmer is an interactive reality show presented in documentary style. The show features ten Gen - Z men aged between 18 and 24 who originally felt depressed in front of a duration of 190 days on 142 mu (approximately 9.5 hectares) of land. They engaged in various unfamiliar tasks such as sowing irrigating fertilizing harvesting raising and building. They started with limited resources including a piece of land messy houses and a few ponds, but with determination they gradually built their lives from depression and had a big harvest. The chief director of the program said,“ The practice of farming through a documentary lens really works. By sharing these young people’ s experiences and stories of personal growth, the series enhances the audience’s understanding of agriculture and raise awareness of food security.” He added that the show would help promote traditional Chinese farming culture while promoting communication and understanding between urban and rural residents. Become a Farmer has become an influential show that not only entertains but also educates. Its success is reflected in the audience’s feedback.“This is a very meaningful programme. It has enlightened me on the process of cultivating a grain of rice... It has also awakened my concern for laboring people around me. Truly, it’s an excellent show.” 4. What is the aim of the show Become a Farmer? A. To entertain the audience in a fun way. B. To make a comparison between city and country life. C. To encourage the young people to make a career out of farming. D. To promote the understanding between urban and rural residents. 5. How did the members build their lives from depression? A. By purchasing more resources. B. By relying on their good skills. C. By seeking help from the director. D. By braving the challenging farmwork. 6. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. The meaning of farming. B. The impact of the programme. C The concern for the programme. D. The feedbacks from the participants. 【答案】4. D 5. D 6. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了《成为农民》这一节目的宗旨、内容及其影响力，该节目通过让都市青年体验农耕生活，旨在增进城乡居民相互理解和农业认知。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“He added that the show would help promote traditional Chinese farming culture while promoting communication and understanding between urban and rural residents.(他补充说，该节目将有助于推广中国传统农耕文化，同时促进城乡居民之间的沟通和理解)”可知，《成为农民》这个节目的目的是增进城乡居民之间的了解，同时也提高观众对农业的认识和粮食安全的意识。故选D。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“They started with limited resources including a piece of land messy houses and a few ponds, but with determination they gradually built their lives from depression and had a big harvest.(他们从有限的资源开始，包括一片杂乱的房屋和几个池塘。但他们下定决心，从萧条中逐渐建立起自己的生活，收获颇丰)”可知，成员们是通过勇敢面对具有挑战性的农活，凭借决心从沮丧中振作起来的。故选D。 【6题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段的“Become a Farmer has become an influential show that not only entertains but also educates. Its success is reflected in the audience’s feedback.(《成为农民》已经成为一个既娱乐又教育的有影响力的节目。它的成功体现在观众的反馈中)”以及全段可知，本段在讨论该节目的影响力和成功，以及这种成功是如何通过观众的反馈来体现的。由此可知，最后一段主要是关于节目的影响。故选B。 C Army ants are mainly distributed in South America and Africa and mostly live in the Amazon River basin. They like to live in groups and generally one or two million in a group. They are migratory, have no fixed on the move. When encountering obstacles such as gaps, army ants are able to connect their bodies to each other and build a bridge for large groups of ants to pass through, saving crawling distance. The bridge can be built and removed very quickly, in seconds. Christopher Reid of the University of Sydney’s Insect Behaviour and Ecology Laboratory, said that when studying the ant bridge, he initially assumed that once the ant bridge was built the two end positions of the bridge would be fixed, and the bridge itself would be relatively stationary (不动的). However, after observation, it was found that the ant bridge would constantly change according to the army ants’ knowledge of the outside world. The ant bridge can move slowly from the original position, increasing the number of ants in the bridge, extending the length of the bridge, so that other ants may save a lot of efforts by using the ant bridge instead of taking other routes. In this way, it can continuously compress the distance to the target area. Meanwhile, the researchers have also found that the changing ant bridge does not always achieve the shortest distance. When the bridge is extended to a certain extent, the number of ants involved in the construction of the ant bridge will not continue to increase, and the length of the bridge will stop growing. Researchers believe that army ants use the best methods in the construction of bridges. Since the ants involved in building the bridge are unable to participate in other work, the colony stops putting in more ants as soon as it finds that the number of ants put into extending the bridge is out of balance with the number of ants needed for other jobs. 7. What is mainly introduced about army ants in paragraph 1? A. Their migration. B. Their distribution. C. Their living habits. D. Their hunting targets. 8. What did the research find about the bridge built by army ants ? A. It becomes longer constantly. B. It keeps unchanged once built. C. It achieves the shortest distance. D. It is adjusted according to the needs. 9. What does the underlined word “compress” mean in paragraph 3? A. Reduce. B. Calculate. C. Neglect. D. Judge. 10. What is the writing purpose of the text ? A. To stress the importance of cooperation. B. To explain army ants’ incredible strength. C. To show army ants’ collective intelligence. D. To indicate the harmony between nature and human. 【答案】7. C 8. D 9. A 10. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了军蚁的生活习性、集体行为以及它们在建造桥梁时展现出的智慧，通过具体的事例和观察结果来阐述军蚁的特点和行为模式。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Army ants are mainly distributed in South America and Africa and mostly live in the Amazon River basin. They like to live in groups and generally one or two million in a group. They are migratory, have no fixed on the move. When encountering obstacles such as gaps, army ants are able to connect their bodies to each other and build a bridge for large groups of ants to pass through, saving crawling distance. The bridge can be built and removed very quickly, in seconds.(行军蚁主要分布在南美洲和非洲，主要生活在亚马逊河流域。它们喜欢群居，通常是一到两百万只。它们是迁徙的，没有固定的迁徙地点。当遇到缝隙等障碍物时，军蚁能够将彼此的身体连接在一起，为大群蚂蚁搭建桥梁，从而节省爬行距离。这座桥可以在几秒钟内迅速建造和拆除)”可知，本段主要介绍了军蚁的生活习性，如它们喜欢群居，一般一个群体有一两百万只，它们是迁徙性的，没有固定的住所，遇到障碍时可以连接身体建造桥梁等。故选C项。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“However, after observation, it was found that the ant bridge would constantly change according to the army ants’ knowledge of the outside world. The ant bridge can move slowly from the original position, increasing the number of ants in the bridge, extending the length of the bridge, so that other ants may save a lot of efforts by using the ant bridge instead of taking other routes.(但经过观察发现，蚂蚁桥会根据军蚁对外部世界的了解情况不断变化。蚂蚁桥可以从原来的位置慢慢移动，增加桥中蚂蚁的数量，延长桥的长度，这样其他蚂蚁可以通过使用蚂蚁桥而不是走其他路线来节省很多精力)”可知，军蚁建造的桥梁会根据需要不断调整。故选D项。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据前文“The ant bridge can move slowly from the original position, increasing the number of ants in the bridge, extending the length of the bridge, so that other ants may save a lot of efforts by using the ant bridge instead of taking other routes.(蚂蚁桥可以从原来的位置慢慢移动，增加桥中蚂蚁的数量，延长桥的长度，这样其他蚂蚁可以通过使用蚂蚁桥而不是走其他路线来节省很多精力)”可知，军蚁建造的桥梁可以不断增加蚂蚁的数量，延长桥梁的长度，这样其他蚂蚁就可以节省很多精力，而不是走其他路线。因此，军蚁建造桥梁的目的是为了不断“减少”到达目标区域的距离，即compress在这里的意思是“减少”，和A项意思相近。故选A项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Researchers believe that army ants use the best methods in the construction of bridges. Since the ants involved in building the bridge are unable to participate in other work, the colony stops putting in more ants as soon as it finds that the number of ants put into extending the bridge is out of balance with the number of ants needed for other jobs.(研究人员认为，军蚁在建造桥梁时使用了最好的方法。由于参与建造桥梁的蚂蚁无法参与其他工作，一旦发现用于建造桥梁的蚂蚁数量与其他工作所需的蚂蚁数量失衡，蚁群就会停止投入更多的蚂蚁)”以及通读全文可知，文章主要介绍了军蚁的集体智慧，如建造桥梁、根据外界情况不断调整桥梁等，因此写作目的是展示军蚁的集体智慧。故选C项。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10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。答案写在答题卡上。 Safety for Funfair Rides Playing in funfairs and theme parks is a great deal of fun, but with the fun come risks.

But it is a two-way effort.(在游乐场和主题公园玩是非常有趣的，但是伴随着乐趣而来的是风险。主题公园里的一些活动和设施可能是危险的。为了安全起见，游乐设施经营者应仔细检查游乐设施。但这是一项双向努力)”可知，上文提到了游乐设施经营者应仔细检查游乐设施，且是双向努力，故本句是在说明乘客应该做的事情。故D选项“乘客也应该尽自己的一份力”符合语境，故选D。 【12题详解】 根据上文“● Always keep your seat belt fastened. Tie up the seat belts securely before the rides start. If you don’t know how to tie your belt, ask the helpers standing around. Fasten your seat belt the moment you get on the ride.(永远系好安全带。游乐设施开始前请系好安全带。如果你不知道怎么系腰带，可以问问站在旁边的帮工。你一上车就系好安全带)”以及后文“Most importantly, make sure it is absolutely fitted in the ride.(最重要的是，确保它完全贴合)”可知，本段主要强调了系好安全带的问题，E选项中it指代上文seat belt。故E选项“不要解开它，除非有人告诉你这么做”符合语境，故选E。 【13题详解】 根据上文“● Stay in to stay safe. On any theme park ride. stay seated at all times. hold on to the safety bar. and keep your feet and knees inside the car.(●待在里面保证安全。在任何主题公园里，都要一直坐着。抓住安全杆，把你的脚和膝盖放在车里)”以及后文“Never stretch your body outside the ride.(不要向外伸展你的身体)”可知，上文强调了要一直坐着，说明其他姿势不安全。故F选项“转身、跪着和站着都会使乘客离开座位”符合语境，故选F。 【14题详解】 根据后文“Check the height and weight requirement on each ride before you jump into one. Don’t try any activities and facilities that are beyond your health condition. Remember that restrictions have been set to keep the riders safe.(在你跳上一辆之前，检查一下每辆车身高和体重要求。不要尝试任何超出你健康状况的活动和设施。请记住，为了保证乘客的安全，已经设置了限制)”可知，后文提到了阅读体重和身高要求，即阅读乘坐的限制条件。故C选项“阅读这些限制很重要”符合语境，故选C。 【15题详解】 根据上文“Take a look at the machines.(看看这些机器)”以及后文“If you see anything wrong — a broken seat belt, a person jumping the line or anything else that could cause safety problems to visitors — tell a park employee immediately.(如果你发现任何问题——安全带坏了，有人插队或其他任何可能给游客带来安全问题的事情——立即告诉公园工作人员)”可知，本句主要说明应该检查机器的原因。故G选项“一台质量差的机器更有可能保养得不好”符合语境，故选G。 第三部分语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的 A 、 B 、 C 、 D 四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。答案写在答题卡上。 In June, I joined Remote Year.

Shaped 33. pieces 34. or 35. offers 36. which 37. definitely 38. popularity 39. exploring 40. to give 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了山西特色面食“猫耳朵”的制作方法、食用方式及受欢迎程度，展现了丰富的面条文化。 【31题详解】 考查冠词。句意：“猫耳朵”面是一种独特而美味山西面条，具有视觉上令人愉悦的吸引力和美味的味道。这里需要一个不定冠词来修饰“unique and tasty Shanxi noodle type”，表示泛指，表明这是一种独特的美食类型，unique发音以辅音音素开头，应用a。故填a。 【32题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：“猫耳朵”因形状像小猫的耳朵而得名，这个当地食物因此有了一个可爱的名字。空处需要非谓语动词作状语，该动词和其逻辑主语之间为被动关系，所以用过去分词作状语。故填shaped。 【33题详解】 考查名词复数。句意：首先，面团被滚成柱状，然后切成薄片，这些薄片被搓成猫耳朵形状的薄片。piece在这里指的是切下的“面片”，是可数名词，空处用复数形式表示泛指。故填pieces。 【34题详解】 考查固定句型。句意：无论是咸肉酱还是淡醋酱，每一口都能带来愉悦的味觉享受。句子中使用了“Whether...or...”结构，表示“无论……还是……”。故填or。 【35题详解】 考查时态和主谓一致。句意：无论是咸肉酱还是淡醋酱，每一口都能带来愉悦的味觉享受。空处为主句的谓语动词，此句描述的是一般事实，应用一般现在时。主语each bite视为第三人称单数，因此动词offer需使用第三人称单数形式。故填offers。 【36题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：另一种受欢迎的方式是将它们与猪肉、葱和辣椒一起炒，制成一道辣味十足的菜肴，这样的做法肯定能满足个人口味偏好。空处引导非限制性定语从句，修饰前面的整个句子，关系词在从句中作主语，所以用关系代词which引导该从句。故填which。 【37题详解】 考查副词。句意：“猫耳朵”代表了山西省丰富的面条文化，无疑满足了我们的口味。这里需要副词修饰动词delights，表示“无疑地，确定地”。故填definitely。 【38题详解】 考查名词。句意：它的受欢迎程度已经打破了地域界限，使其成为中国乃至世界各地广受欢迎的食物。根据空前的Its可知，这里需要名词作主语。popular的名词形式为popularity“流行”。故填popularity。 【39题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：下次你发现自己在探索中国菜时，一定要试试这款令人愉快的“猫耳朵”面。find oneself doing sth.是固定搭配，意为“发现自己正做某事”，为现在分词作宾语补足语。故填exploring。 【40题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：下次你发现自己在探索中国菜时，一定要试试这款令人愉快的“猫耳朵”面。be sure to do sth.是固定短语，意为“务必做某事”。故填to give。 第四部分写作(共两节，满分25分) 第一节(满分10分) 41. 假定你是李华，暑期你校国际部准备接待英国友好学校的学生来访，并计划安排一次敦煌文化之旅，现招募陪同参观的志愿者。请你用英语写一封申请信报名参加，内容包括： 1．提出申请; 2．个人优势; 3．希望获准。 注意： 1．词数应为80个左右; 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Dear teachers, ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours sincerely.

It seemed like an age since we last saw the ground so fantastically carpeted, just like last year when I spent the whole day expecting Dad to come back. The snowflakes danced gracefully in the cold winter breeze. I stood there, lost in thought. When I was young my father, who was an expert at handicraft, was my hero and my inspiration. However, he had seldom communicated with me since I was in middle school. Despite my longing for a connection with him, he had always been distant due to his busy work schedule. My Mum always told me that busy though Dad was, he was really concerned about me. But I couldn ‘ t help but feel that he didn ‘ t like me anymore. Otherwise, why would he have ignored me for such a long time ? “Why not take a walk before your birthday party ?” Mum interrupted my thoughts, “Sure, Mum !” The common scenes in streets looked so familiar to me, each marked with my happy childhood. The snowflakes continued to dance, painting a still scene outside.“ Amazing !” I couldn ‘ t help uttering. I reached into my pocket and pulled out my mobile phone to capture the beauty of nature frozen in time. My heart leapt with joy and some expectations as if a dream were stirring inside. 注意： 1．词数应为120个左右; 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Suddenly, a familiar figure came into my camera lens. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I opened the beautifully crafted wooden box beside the birthday cake. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Suddenly, a familiar figure came into my camera lens. It was Dad, standing at the end of the street, dressed warmly against the cold, watching me with a gentle smile. My heart skipped a beat as I realized he had come for my birthday. I lowered my phone, feeling a warmth that surpassed the snow’s chill. We locked eyes for a moment, and then he slowly walked towards me, breaking the silence with a “Happy Birthday, son.” I opened the beautifully crafted wooden box beside the birthday cake. Inside lay a handmade leather wallet, each stitch meticulously done. Tears welled up in my eyes as I recognized my father’s touch. He had always been there, in his own way, expressing his love through his craft. “I know I’ve been busy, but I wanted to make something special for you,” he said softly. That moment, all my doubts melted away, replaced by a deep understanding of the love that had never truly left. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索，文章主要讲述了作者在自己18岁生日当天，面对漫天飞舞的雪花所引发的对过往与父亲关系的回忆与感慨。文章以雪天的美景为背景，通过描绘雪花的轻盈舞动和作者内心的情感波动，展现了作者对父亲由敬仰到疏远，再到渴望重新建立联系的复杂心情。同时，母亲的提议和作者出去散步，欣赏雪景。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句“突然，一个熟悉的身影进入了我的镜头。”可知，本段可描写父亲在寒冷中现身街头，默默守护作者的生日，传递深沉温暖的父爱。 ②由第二段首句“我打开了生日蛋糕旁边制作精美的木箱。”可知，本段通过手工钱包，父亲表达深沉爱意，消除作者的疑虑，展现父爱的持久与独特。 2.续写线索：父亲出现——感到意外——送来亲手做的礼物——感到父爱的温暖——消除过去的疑虑和误会——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①把……放低：lower/drop ②（眼泪等）涌出：well up/spring up ③表达：express/convey 情绪类 ①温柔的：gentle/soft ②仔细地：meticulously/carefully 【点睛】【高分句型1】My heart skipped a beat as I realized he had come for my birthday.（运用了as引导的时间状语从句） 【高分句型2】That moment, all my doubts melted away, replaced by a deep understanding of the love that had never truly left.（运用了that引导的限定性定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2023~2024学年第二学期高二年级期末学业诊断 英语试卷 说明：本试卷为闭卷笔答，答题时间90分钟，满分100分。请将第 I 卷试题答案填在第 II 卷卷首的相应位置。 第 I 卷(共60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。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。答案写在答题卡上。 例： How much is the shirt ?

In an effort to connect these individuals with the agricultural industry, a show tackles the topic by inviting ten young men from various fields to experience life on the farmland. It offers insights into farming practices and modern agricultural production. Become a Farmer is an interactive reality show presented in documentary style. The show features ten Gen - Z men aged between 18 and 24 who originally felt depressed in front of a duration of 190 days on 142 mu (approximately 9.5 hectares) of land. They engaged in various unfamiliar tasks such as sowing irrigating fertilizing harvesting raising and building. They started with limited resources including a piece of land messy houses and a few ponds but with determination they gradually built their lives from depression and had a big harvest. The chief director of the program said,“ The practice of farming through a documentary lens really works. By sharing these young people’ s experiences and stories of personal growth, the series enhances the audience’s understanding of agriculture and raise awareness of food security.” He added that the show would help promote traditional Chinese farming culture while promoting communication and understanding between urban and rural residents. Become a Farmer has become an influential show that not only entertains but also educates. Its success is reflected in the audience’s feedback.“This is a very meaningful programme. It has enlightened me on the process of cultivating a grain of rice... It has also awakened my concern for laboring people around me. Truly, it’s an excellent show.” 4. What is the aim of the show Become a Farmer? A. To entertain the audience in a fun way. B. To make a comparison between city and country life. C. To encourage the young people to make a career out of farming. D. To promote the understanding between urban and rural residents. 5. How did the members build their lives from depression? A. By purchasing more resources. B. By relying on their good skills. C. By seeking help from the director. D. By braving the challenging farmwork. 6. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. The meaning of farming. B. The impact of the programme. C. The concern for the programme. D. The feedbacks from the participants. C Army ants are mainly distributed in South America and Africa and mostly live in the Amazon River basin. They like to live in groups and generally one or two million in a group. They are migratory, have no fixed on the move. When encountering obstacles such as gaps, army ants are able to connect their bodies to each other and build a bridge for large groups of ants to pass through, saving crawling distance. The bridge can be built and removed very quickly, in seconds. Christopher Reid of the University of Sydney’s Insect Behaviour and Ecology Laboratory, said that when studying the ant bridge, he initially assumed that once the ant bridge was built the two end positions of the bridge would be fixed, and the bridge itself would be relatively stationary (不动的). However, after observation, it was found that the ant bridge would constantly change according to the army ants’ knowledge of the outside world. The ant bridge can move slowly from the original position, increasing the number of ants in the bridge, extending the length of the bridge, so that other ants may save a lot of efforts by using the ant bridge instead of taking other routes. In this way, it can continuously compress the distance to the target area. Meanwhile, the researchers have also found that the changing ant bridge does not always achieve the shortest distance. When the bridge is extended to a certain extent, the number of ants involved in the construction of the ant bridge will not continue to increase, and the length of the bridge will stop growing. Researchers believe that army ants use the best methods in the construction of bridges. Since the ants involved in building the bridge are unable to participate in other work, the colony stops putting in more ants as soon as it finds that the number of ants put into extending the bridge is out of balance with the number of ants needed for other jobs. 7. What is mainly introduced about army ants in paragraph 1? A. Their migration. B. Their distribution. C. Their living habits. D. Their hunting targets. 8. What did the research find about the bridge built by army ants ? A. It becomes longer constantly. B. It keeps unchanged once built. C. It achieves the shortest distance. D. It is adjusted according to the needs. 9. What does the underlined word “compress” mean in paragraph 3? A. Reduce. B. Calculate. C. Neglect. D. Judge. 10. What is the writing purpose of the text ? A. To stress the importance of cooperation. B. To explain army ants’ incredible strength. C. To show army ants’ collective intelligence. D. To indicate the harmony between nature and human. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10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。答案写在答题卡上。 Safety for Funfair Rides Playing in funfairs and theme parks is a great deal of fun, but with the fun come risks.
