However, museums around the world are digitizing their collections, enabling people to tour the museums from afar. The British Museum, London The British Museum contains objects from around the world, including the Rosetta Stone, with three versions of a text that helped researchers learn to read ancient Egyptian. The Great Court’s ceiling, in the middle of the museum, is composed of 3212 pieces of glass, none of which are alike. The virtual tour of the museum offers a 360-degree view of the room, allowing visitors to look at every piece. MASP, S ão Paulo The first modern museum in Brazil, the Museu de Arte de São Paulo includes art from the 14th to the 20th centuries. The paintings, which are placed on glass panels, appear to be floating in mid-air. This setup, included in the virtual tour shows, makes the art appear almost magical. National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Korea This Korean museum includes four branches in different cities and features works of art from Korea and around the world. The art includes a variety of media such as print, sculpture and photography. There are also online exhibitions such as “Artists in Their Times” which traces trends in Korean art since the late 1970s. The J. Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles County This museum, with locations in two different places, features art going back to The Neolithic Period. Its virtual tour, accessible through Google Arts & Culture, offers views of more recent works, including some by van Gogh and Renoir.

Mike knows about his name-calling because sometimes when my father comes to pick me up, he’ll say inconsiderate things right in front of my stepfather like, “Is what’s-his-name going to pick you up after the game, or am I supposed to bring you home?” Even though it’s rude, my stepfather doesn’t hold it against my father. “I’ll pick up Shawn at 3:30,” he’ll answer. Nor does Mike make a big deal out of my father’s inconsiderate attitude towards him. He lets the comments go. I ask my stepfather if the way my father treats him bothers or upsets him. “Oh, not really,” he says. “You don’t always have to be right, as long as you do what’s right.” My father’s taunts (嘲笑) don’t bother Mike because he likes himself. My dad’s opinion doesn’t change the way Mike feels about himself. I really admire Mike. He’s so good to my mother. And what a good father he is to me! I appreciate all the things he does for me, like teaching me to throw a fastball and helping me with my homework without becoming impatient like my father does. Mike even volunteered at my school’s carnival (狂欢节) this year. No other stepfathers were there. Though I would never tell my real father that I think my stepfather is one of the nicest guys I know, he is. I’m happy to make Mike my stepfather. Sometimes, I even call Mike “Dad” because he acts like a dad to me. In my eyes, my stepfather is a really great guy. 4. Why is the writer’s father rude to Mike? A. Mike is hated by him. B. Mike is a good-for-nothing. C. Mike treats his ex-wife badly. D. Mike likes to call him names. 5. What does the underlined sentence mean in Paragraph 2? A. Mike never deals with the problems that he faces. B. Mike never runs a business with the writer’s father. C Mike doesn’t express his anger on the writer’s father. D. Mike ignores what the writer’s father says and does. 6. What can be known from Paragraph 4? A. The writer is a poor boy and has several stepfathers. B. The writer’s real father doesn’t like sports as much as Mike. C. Mike is as good to the writer’s mother as the writer’s real father. D. Mike is more patient with the writer than the writer’s real father. 7. Which can best describe the writer’s attitude to his real father? A. Rude but patient. B. Admiring and respectful. C. Caring but disapproving. D. Disgusted and unconcerned. C Recently, four professors of neuroscience were awarded the Brain Prize for their lifechanging contributions to the research on migraines(偏头痛), a disease previously not understood well. Professor Michael Moskowitz from Harvard Medical School, Peter Goadsby from King’s College London, Lars Edvinsson from Lund University in Sweden, and Jes Olesen from Rigshospitalet, Denmark, were celebrated as the recipients of the Brain Prize, the world’s most distinguished award highlighting achievements in brain research. The Crown Prince of Denmark presented the four professors with a grand prize of roughly 1. 5 million dollars on October 25 in Copenhagen, Denmark. Migraines remain one of the most serious and common neurological illnesses millions around the world suffer. Studies show that women are three times more likely to experience frequent and intense migraines than men, and symptoms can last up to 24 hours. Typically, these intense head-throbbing pains are also accompanied by vomiting(呕吐), dizziness and sensitivity to sound, light, and touch. After over forty years of research, the four professors pinpointed the major cause-chemicals released within the brain. Previously, the main causes of migraines were thought to be stress, pressure or anxiety. In 1979, Professor Michael Moskowitz discovered that headaches occur when thin nerves are found in our head and face to interact with a highly-sensitive membrane(膜) surrounding our brain, releasing chemicals called neuropeptidee. These chemicals can then cause the blood vessels in our head to expand and also send pain signals to the brain. Later, research by Professor Goadsby and Edvinsson revealed that the specific neuropeptide which plays the central role in causing the intense headache is calcitonin gene-related peptide(CGRP). Then, Professor Olesen’s work further confirmed that CGRP is indeed responsible for the pain, rather than a chemical produced in the brain as a result of the migraines. The work by these scientists paves the way for developing more effective medicine. While past treatments can only temporarily stop the pain, scientists say that the newly developed drugs not only prevent migraines but also don’t cause the harmful side effects patients had to endure. 8. Who received the grand prize in the country where he works? A. Lars Edvinsson. B. Michael Moskowitz C. Jes Olesen. D. Peter Goadsby. 9. What do we know about migraines? A. Females’ chance of getting migraines is higher than males’. B. Vomiting, dizziness and sensitivity lead to migraines. C. Migraines are a rare and strange illness. D. All the symptoms of intense migraines last 24 hours. 10. What is the major cause of migraines? A. Chemical called neuropeptides. B. Interactions between thin nerves. C. Stress. pressure or anxiety. D. A highly-sensitive membrane. 11. In which section of a newspaper may this text appear? A. Literature. B. Psychology. C. Medicine. D. Culture. D People have been predicting the death of cable TV (有线电视) for a long time, but this really might be it. Just a decade ago, nearly all Americans—more than 85 percent of U. S. households-paid for packages of TV channels from cable or satellite companies. That started to drop slowly at first and then far more quickly in the past few years. Now, the share of American homes that pay for traditional TV service is approaching 50 percent, according to expert Craig Moffett and S&P Global Market Intelligence’s Kagan research group. For comparison, cellphones were around for decades before the percentage of Americans who didn’t have a fixed phone at home reached 50 percent, around 2017. Maybe it seems predictable that cable TV would go the way of the fixed phone. I promise you that it was not necessarily obvious, even once Netflix started to take off. Old habits die hard. Old industries that make a lot of people rich die even harder. And don’t forget that some new technology habits catch on fast but don’t stick. What may be a final drop in America’s cable TV industry is a big deal. It shows that technology can change deep-rooted ways of doing things slowly, and then suddenly. Ian Olgeirson, a research director at Kagan who has been following America’s TV market for about 20 years, told me that he was surprised by how quickly the monthly cable bill went from being standard to outdated for many Americans. Olgeirson and other TV experts I’ve been speaking to didn’t single out a turning point in cable TV’s big drop. They said the downward trend (趋势) was more like a series of progressive changes building up. It’s clear that the cable TV system that for decades brought joy and headaches to tens of millions of Americans is wearing thin. The unknown is whether Americans keep turning away from cable and satellite TV relatively slowly, or whether it will fail suddenly. I have always loved TV. I felt like a real grown-up when I first started to pay a huge bill for television, partly to watch my favourite football team. I had reduced my cable TV package, but then a few months ago I was told that my bill was going to increase by about $10 a month. That was it. I’m a no-cable household now, too. 12. What does Paragraph 1 mainly tell us about cable TV? A. Its various TV channels. B. Its high service standard. C. Its falling popularity. D. Its increasing payments. 13. Why does the author mention cellphones and fixed phones in Paragraph 2? A. To illustrate there is no market left for cable TV. B. To explain technology can bring fortune to people. C. To prove technology can change the world. D. To show it is not easy for cable TV to go away 14. Which of the following is beyond Olgeirson’s expectations? A. Americans turned away from cable TV so quickly. B. There are still many Americans showing interest in cable TV. C. America’s TV market was down suddenly. D. The death of cable TV will come in about 20 years. 15. What would be the best title for the text? A. Cable TV Brought Joy to Americans B. Cable TV Won’t Be Replaced by Satellite TV C. Cable TV Has Existed for Decades D. Cable TV Is the New Fixed Phone 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。 Birds are an important part of our ecosystem. But they are especially vulnerable (易受伤害的) to changes in their environment, like ground, water, and air pollution. Luckily, it’s easy to take part in bird conversation. ___16___ There are a few steps you can take to help save birds. Keep cats indoors. ___17___ Pet cats do not have to go outside to hunt in order to have a good life. Some people think that putting a small bell around a cat’s neck will warn birds and protect them, but this does not work as well as simply keeping your kitty inside. Mark windows. Sometimes, glass can reflect the outdoors like a mirror. ___18___ The level of impact is sometimes so heavy that some end up dead. Marking windows is a simple yet effective solution. It’s best to use decals and frosted glass (贴纸和磨砂玻璃) to keep birds away from glass. ___19___ In parts of the country where winters are cold, birds sometimes struggle to find enough food when the temperature drops or snow covers the ground. Putting up bird feeders, or even throwing bird food on the ground, can greatly help the birds that are living nearby. Place rubbish in suitable bins. Throwing away things in the open usually leads to birds attempting to eat whatever has been thrown away, sometimes including materials such as paper and plastics. This could end up harming the birds or causing diseases. ___20___ A. Plant native plants for birds. B. Feed birds in your yard or on your roof. C. Cats may regard birds as potential friends. D. Every year, cats kill millions of wild birds. E. Birds can’t tell that the glass is there and they fly right into it. F. Putting household waste in right places reduces these problems. G.

Playing was my love. While most kids were outside in the burning summer sun, playing childish games, I was happy to sit in the cool indoors for hours practising my beloved piano. When I played, I felt like I was in a whole new world where I was free and easy. All I had to worry about was my music. Playing was never boring for me. I had spent months practising and the big day finally came. It was the day of the Alberta Music Competition. The music hall was packed with excited audience. I sat in the first row with my mother seated beside me. As the fellow competitors were playing. I couldn’t keep my mind on their music. I was just memorizing the notes and practising the fingerings. I had known my music was like the back of my hand. But this time, to my great surprise, I found my fingers completely out of my control. They kept shaking. I nearly burst into tears. Seeing this, Mum held my hands tightly in hers. She even breathed into them as if she wanted to warm them up. Then she whispered to my ear, “Sweetie, take it easy. Just listen and enjoy the music.” I looked up and turned my attention to the competitor in the centre of the stage for the first time. A thin and tall boy was sitting at the beautiful red piano. He looked calm and confident. His fingertips danced on the keyboard. The soft and gentle sound of the piano flew in the air. For a moment, I totally forgot my nervousness. Then I was announced to play next and I felt anxious again. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 It seemed that thousands of butterflies were really flying in my stomach. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I could clearly feel the disappointment from the crowd’s deep sigh (叹息). ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 2023-2024学年度友好学校高二年级下学期期末联考 英语 全卷满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 注意事项： 1. 答题前，先将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在试卷和答题卡上，并将条形码粘贴在答题卡上的指定位置。 2. 请按题号顺序在答题卡上各题目的答题区域内作答，写在试卷、草稿纸和答题卡上的非答题区域均无效。 3. 选择题用2B铅笔在答题卡上把所选答案的标号涂黑;非选择题用黑色签字笔在答题卡上作答;字体工整，笔迹清楚。 4. 考试结束后，请将试卷和答题卡一并上交。 5. 本卷主要考查内容：选择性必修第三册～选择性必修第四册。 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分7.5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。 例：How much is the shirt?

My mother gave me a pat on the back and said softly, “Just enjoy it, honey!” I found encouragement and confidence in her eyes. I got up, climbed up the stage steps and bowed to the audience. I tried my best to keep calm. I slowly placed my hands on the keyboard, took a deep breath and started to play. To my delight, everything seemed unbelievably smooth. I could clearly feel the disappointment from the crowd's deep sigh (叹息). “Just enjoy it!” Mum's words echoed in my ears. I continued playing as if nothing had happened. Soon I found myself absorbed in the familiar music world again. Eventually, when I finished my last note, the crowd all stood up with applause and cheering, which was totally out of my expectation. Though I didn't win the champion, I knew I had learned something more valuable. I realized that learning to enjoy music was more important than the competition itself. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
