Here are the best music festivals across America in 2024.  Pitchfork Music Festival | Chicago, IL When: July 19-21, 2024 Where: Chicago, Illinois Pitchfork brings a carefully organized lineup (阵容 ) of highly praised hip-hop artists and forward-thinking musicians to Chicago’s Union Park each summer. Since its founding in 2006, the festival has remained an ideal size, featuring reasonable crowds (about 20,000 people per day), three stages and plenty of room for resting in the sun or shade.  Lollapalooza | Chicago, IL When: TBA Where: Chicago, Illinois Founded as a touring festival by Jane’s Addiction frontman Perry Farrell in 1991, Lollapalooza has made Chicago its permanent home since 2005.

B Does your company employ people from a diverse range of backgrounds? How can you adapt your policies to adapt to cultural diversity in the workplace? In their book No Rules Rules, Netflix CEO Reed Hastings and author Erin Meyer discuss the challenges Netflix faced when it started to grow internationally. Hastings learned two major lessons about working with people from different cultures and now Netflix successfully operates in over 190 countries. By 2011, Netflix had built a culture of autonomy and accountability (责任) that enabled the company to produce great results in America. Hastings began expanding the company into other countries. By 2016, Netflix was in more than 130 countries worldwide. Still, Hastings knew from his past international travels that certain experiences and practices can’t be translated directly into other cultures. He considered whether the company culture he’d worked so hard to develop would work outside the U.S., or whether it would cause confusion and misunderstanding. He made a plan to make the international expansion as smooth as possible: He would find foreign job candidates who could adapt to the culture he had carefully developed. The company would then train those new hires on the ins and outs of working within a culture of autonomy and accountability. Besides, while Hastings adjusted international employees to the Netflix way, he would also remain open to adapting to and learning from their cultures. 高一英语试卷 第 3页（共 10页） 高一英语试卷 第 4页（共 10页） Apart from Hastings’ give-and-take approach to cross-cultural adaptation, companies can preserve their core philosophies by sticking to Meyer’s principles when expanding operations to other countries. Determine the pressure points. Identify the specific aspects that are likely to cause conflict in decision-making processes and the approach to timelines. And then have a diverse workforce in every office. Having homogeneous (同质 ) staff at each office might create gaps between international offices. For example, a Singapore office with mostly young creatives might have a hard time communicating with an office in Copenhagen with mostly middle-aged finance experts. Ensuring diversity helps all employees get used to working with other cultures on a day-to-day basis. 20．What is the focus of the book No Rules Rules? A．Hastings’ achievements in expanding Netflix. B．Netflix’s approaches to growing internationally. C．Hastings and Meyer’s cooperation in creating Netflix. D．Netflix’s efforts to develop cultural diversity in its expansion. 21．Why did Hastings worry copying his previous practice would cause confusion? A．Each culture had their uniqueness. B．He did many international travels. C．Individual workers had distinct personalities. D．People tended to reject taking accountability. 22．What does the author think of Hastings’ expansion plan? A．It’s unlikely to work in practice. B．It’s too ambitious to be carried out. C．It’s an ordinary plan without creativity. D．It’s flexible enough to ensure the successful expansoin. 23．What does Meyer suggest the company do? A．Appoint young creative workers. B．Recognize the sources of pressure. C．Take a give-and-take approach. D．Hire a homogeneous staff. C Tourists across China have enjoyed a series of cultural events, from traditional to modern, and discovered new destinations during this year’s five-day May Day holiday. Items on China’s traditional intangible cultural heritage list proved to be popular with travelers in many regions. In Lantian county, northwest China’s Shanxi Province, tourists were amazed by the art of Dawaz, which means aerial tightrope (空中钢丝 ) walking in the Uygur language. Meanwhile, in east China’s Changzhou City, music festivals attracted huge crowds of travelers, and local authorities introduced measures to ensure the comfort of visitors. They arranged 500 coaches for long-distance travel, set up more than 10,000 free parking spaces and extended the operation hours of the subway network until 11:30 p.m. And it’s not just big cities that drew in visitors during this holiday. Holiday makers decided to go for natural views, less-crowded scenic spots, and cost-effective travel experiences. Data from Chinese travel booking platform Ctrip showed that orders for fourth-tier and below cities increased by 140 percent on a yearly basis, outperforming those in first and second-tier cities. Wu Sa, deputy director of the Economic Research Institute of the National Development and Reform Commission, expressed belief that the popularity of usual major destinations like Beijing, Shanghai, Chongqing, Hangzhou and Chengdu is not decreasing, but explained that a good number of travelers are looking to diversify the scope of their travels, towards new and previously lesser-known places. Scientific and space projects have also been a hit travel destination this week, from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in northwest China to the world’s largest single-dish radio telescope in the southwestern province of Guizhou. “I mainly wanted to take my child to appreciate some of China’s leading space technology and the development trend of big data, so that he can understand the advanced technology of our motherland,” said a tourist named Hu Wanping. 24．What attracted tourists to the Changzhou City? A．The launch of music festivals. B．The Aerial tightrope walking performance. C．The celebration of traditional cultural events. D．The measures to provide comfort for tourists. 25．What may account for people’s choice of fourth-tier and below cities? A．Famous scenic spots. B．Low travelling expenses. C．Intangible heritage culture. D．Convenient means of transportation. 26．What can be inferred from the text? A．The growth of visitors is causing various social issues. B．Scientific and space projects receive the least attention. C．Orders for major destinations in big cities are decreasing. D．Tourists are open-minded as to the choices of spending holidays. 27．What can be the best title of the text? A．Festivals and Celebrations across China B．The Popularity of Well-known Destinations C．New Trend for Labor Day Tourist Destinations D．China’s Traditional Intangible Cultural Heritage 高一英语试卷 第 5页（共 10页） 高一英语试卷 第 6页（共 10页） D Why should we explore space? Why should resources be spent on space rather than on conditions and people on Earth? Perhaps the best answer lies in our history. What made our ancestors move from the trees onto the plains? Did a wider distribution of our species offer a better chance of survival? Nearly all successful civilizations have been willing to explore space. In exploring, the dangers of surrounding areas may be identified and prepared for. Without knowledge, these dangers have the ability to harm us. With knowledge, their effects may be decreased. While many resources are spent on what seems a small return, the exploration of space allows new resources to be created. Resources translate into success at survival. Knowledge or techniques acquired in exploring always filter from the developers to the general population. Techniques may be medical applications, such as new drugs or ways of living to increase the quantity or the quality of time lived. Techniques may be social, allowing the people in a society to better understand those within or outside that culture. European Space Agency(ESA) does what individual European nations cannot do on their own. Scientists from European nations can function at world-class level in their specialist fields, in co-operation rather than competition. By studying alien worlds, such as Venus, Mars or Saturn’s moon Titan, we can place our own world in context. ESA’s exploration of the Solar System is focused on understanding the Earth’s relationship with the other planets, essential stepping stones for exploring the wider Universe. While space may hold many wonders and explanations of how the universe was formed or how it works, it also holds dangers. The chance of a large asteroid or comet hitting the Earth is small. But given time, it will happen. The dangers exist and knowledge can allow us as a species to survive. Without the ability to reach out across space, the chance to save ourselves might not exist. 28．Why does the author list questions in the first paragraph? A．To stress the wide distribution of our species. B．To introduce human’s efforts to explore space. C．To illustrate the importance of space exploration. D．To highlight the long history of space exploration. 29．What does space exploration enable humans to do? A．Uncover the unknown resources of the universe. B．Understand better about the culture of society. C．Gain more knowledge about the origin of life. D．Reduce the harmful impact on alien worlds. 30．How does ESAwork in space exploration? A．It compares the Earth with other planets. B．It focuses its study on a particular planet. C．It advocates cooperative work of individual nations. D．It encourages scientists to compete in their specialized fields. 31．What can we learn from the last paragraph? A．Exploring space means rescuing ourselves. B．There is a small chance of comet hitting the Earth in future. C．The formation of the universe requires further explanation. D．Wonders about the universe reflect potential risks from space. 第二节（共 4小题；每小题 2分，满分 8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。 Online sharing within social media sites helps teenagers stay in touch with friends or connect with new ones. However, it may have negative effects on some of them. You can take steps to help your teens use social media responsibly and reduce some of the possible bad impacts. Set rules and limits as needed. This helps prevent social media from getting in the way of activities, sleep, meals or homework. For example, you could make a rule about not using social media until homework is done. 32 You also could choose to keep social media off-limits during certain times. These times might include during family meals and an hour before bed. Set an example by following these rules yourself. And let your teen know what the consequences will be if your rules aren’t followed. Monitor your teen’s accounts. The American Psychological Association recommends you regularly review your child’s social media use during the early teen years. One way to monitor is to follow or “friend” your child’s social accounts. As your teen gets older and more mature (成熟), you can choose to monitor your teen’s social media less. 33 Have regular talks with your teen about social media. Encourage your teen to let you know if something online is confusing or disturbing. 34 For example, you can teach your teen to question whether content is accurate. You also can explain that social media is full of images about beauty and lifestyle that are not realistic. 35 You might want to tell your child about your own social media habits. That can help you set a good example and keep your regular talks from being one-sided. A．Be a role model for your teen. B．Encourage face-to-face contact. C．Or you could set a daily time limit for social media use. D．Your teen’s maturity level can help guide your decision. E．You also could take a look at your teen’s internet history. F．Those talks offers you chances to give your child advice about social media. 高一英语试卷 第 7页（共 10页） 高一英语试卷 第 8页（共 10页） 第三部分：语言运用（共两节，满分 25分） 第一节：完形填空（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和 D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处 的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 In certain situations, we can never fully recognize the value of what has occurred until the moment is gone. Then we are left to reflect on every detail. One such moment for me was being invited to participate in the National Storytelling Festival as the youngest 36 . I have spoken on a variety of 37 , but this particular festival was an event like no other. Thousands of people drifted in and out of tents as storytellers weaved (编织) words into memories both 38 and humorous. I stood on a stage with a single microphone. All eyes were on me, a feeling that 39 anxiety easily. The challenge in that moment was to 40 authentic emotion — to be vulnerable (脆弱 ) and fearless. In a tent filled with expectant listeners, it was embarrassing to think about being so 41 , but I understood that the only real 42 would be not showing my true passion. So, I gave the audience everything I had, and in turn they 43 with support and encouragement. This sort of communication is responsible for the smallest and largest 44 between people in life. The festival is 45 on communities coming together to listen. Not to hear, but to 46 listen. I think of the lonely people of the world, the misunderstood, the uncelebrated. Listening to their stories opens up doors and relationship possibilities that are far more peaceful in nature than 47 or even ignoring. The most powerful part of the 48 was not the fact that I spoke or that the most brilliant storytellers in the world were there, but that I 49 first-hand that people do in fact understand and 50 closer communication. I finally understand the educational world is in need of spaces like these where truth comes to be heard. Now I hold closely to the belief that storytelling connects individuals. 36．A．conductor B．chairman C．composer D．performer 37．A．occasions B．opportunities C．accidents D．positions 38．A．familiar B．striking C．sufficient D．historical 39．A．figured out B．got through C．brought about D．carried on 40．A．present B．remove C．confirm D．admit 41．A．upset B．energetic C．open D．passive 42．A．relief B．satisfaction C．puzzle D．disappointment 43．A．charged B．responded C．complained D．harvested 44．A．connections B．transitions C．greetings D．signals 45．A．reflected B．centered C．based D．attached 46．A．definitely B．absolutely C．independently D．truly 47．A．inspiring B．respecting C．arguing D．escaping 48．A．mission B．experience C．atmosphere D．faith 49．A．witnessed B．assumed C．assisted D．sought 50．A．gather B．claim C．approach D．desire 第 Ⅱ 卷 第三部分：语言运用（共两节，满分 25分） 第二节：（共 10小题；每小题 1分，满分 10分） 阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。 Afternoon Tea is a meal in the afternoon where people enjoy sandwiches, scones (烤饼) and even little cakes.

Once 52 (refer) to as tea receptions, certain afternoon tea events could have as many as two hundred guests with an open invitation for people to visit the home between 4 pm and 7 pm, coming and going as they pleased.

It allows us to give back to society and also helps us grow as individuals. I vividly remember my experience of volunteering at a local nursing home. During my regular visits, I tried to keep the elderly company by engaging in conversations, reading to them or taking them for walks. On other occasions, I might also assist with their daily chores to ensure them no worries about life. The precious experience brought the true joy of a fulfilling life not only to them but also to myself, which taught me the value of the genuine care, empathy and human connection. It was incredibly rewarding to see the smiles on their faces and to know that I was making a difference in their lives. So let’s act together and help to construct a more supportive society. 书面表达评分原则: 1. 上文仅为参考范文，学生可用不同的语言表达形式来表述要点。 2. 各评卷教师在评阅时可根据内容要点进行打分。 3. 本题总分为 20 分，按以下 5个档次给分。评分时，先根据所写短文的内容和语言初步确 定其所属档次，然后以该档次的要求来衡量，确定或调整档次，最后给分。 第一档：（1—4分）只能写出一两个要点；语言错误很多，只有个别句子正确； 第二档：（5—8分）能写出部分要点；语言错误多，影响意思表达； 第三档：（9—12分）能写明基本要点；语言虽有较多错误，但能基本达意； 第四档：（13—16分）能写明全部或绝大部分要点；语言有少量错误；行文不够连贯，表 达基本清楚； 第五档：（17—20分）能写明全部要点；语言基本无误；行文连贯，表达清楚。 4. 词数少于 120的，从总分中减去 2分。 5. 评分时，语言层面，应注意的主要内容为：时态、人称、内容要点、应用词汇和语法结构 的数量和准确性、上下文的连贯性及语言的得体性。 6. 拼写与标点符号是语言准确性的一个方面，评分时，应视其对交际的影响程度予以考虑。 英、美拼写及词汇用法均可接受。 7. 如书写较差，以至影响交际，将分数降低一个档次。 高一英语答案 第 1页（共 2页） 高一英语答案 第 2页（共 2页） 听力部分录音稿 这是 2023学年第二学期高中期末测试英语听力部分。该部分分为第一、第二两节。 注意，回答听力部分时，请先将答案标在试卷上。听力部分结束前，你将有两分钟时 间将你的答案转涂到客观题答题卡上。 请看听力部分第一节。 第一节：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。 （Text 1） M: What are you going to do this weekend?

M: Although it really got going once I was at university, it actually started out as a high-school project — you know a “design a website” kind of thing — but it wasn’t like anyone expected it to become real or anything. W: Wow! So you designed a site about girls’ basketball, a sport you’re passionate about? M: You got it right. I called it femalebasket.com. I knew the name wasn’t right, and before it got really successful I changed it to matchgirl.com and that was a really good move. And although it started with basketball, the site’s grown to include other games as well. It features a variety of articles and reviews on everything ranging from basketball to computer games, plus some more traditionally girly material as well. But the coverage of team sports is at the heart of it, anything about make-up or fashion is just secondary to that. W: That sounds like a legendary story.
