B Seba Stephens is only 10 years old, but he’s a very talented musician. He plays drums, bass, guitar and piano. Recently, he earned a professional certificate (证书) in music through the Berklee Online program at the famous Berklee College of Music. Seba and his family live in Memphis, Tennessee — a place famous for music. He grew up with music all around, but he especially loved the drumming of Stewart Copeland from the band The Police. Before he turned three, his parents asked him what he wanted for his birthday. “Drums!” he answered. His parents weren’t sure, but after seeing him play the drums at a local music store, they decided he was serious. They bought him a junior drum kit. It was a huge step. “He didn’t stop playing — ever,” said his dad, Everett. In just a few months, his drum teacher reported that Seba was learning extremely quickly and needed a higher level of training. He was still four. Seba’s parents encouraged him to explore music in other ways. Seba learned bass, guitar and piano. He faced challenges. “I couldn’t see over my drum set,” he said. He also had trouble finding a good bass that was small enough, In 2020, Everett got special permission for Seba to join a summer music program at Berklee as an 8-year-old boy. Seba studied bass in an online program. To keep up, he had to practise up to 36 hours a week. After the intense summer, Everett thought Seba might want a break. He was wrong. Instead, Seba asked his parents to home-school him so he could keep going to Berklee during the school year. His parents had to make some big changes to make the plan work, but they agreed. Last May, Seba became the youngest person ever to receive a professional certificate from Berklee. The certificate is equal to about four college-level classes. 4. What is Stewart Copeland? A. A teacher. B. A drummer. C. A pianist. D. A soldier. 5. How old was Seba Stephens when he got his first drum? A. Three years old. B. Four years old. C. Eight years old. D. Ten years old. 6. What were challenges for little Seba? A. No time to practise. B. Many things to learn. C. Difficulties in finding proper instruments. D. The requests made by the teacher. 7. What may be the best title for the text? A. The Musical Journey of a Famous Musician B. An Online Program at Berklee College of Music C. A Teenage Drummer Inspires Kids’ Music Education D. A 10-year-old Drummer Earns Certificate From Berklee C From self-driving cars to carebots (care+ robots) for elderly people, rapid development in technology has long represented a possible threat to many jobs normally performed by people. But experts now believe that almost 50 percent of occupations existing today will be completely unnecessary by 2035 as artificial intelligence (AI) continues to change businesses. “The next fifteen years will see a revolution in how we work, and a revolution will necessarily take place in how we plan and think about workplaces,” said Peter Andrew, Director of Workplace Strategy for CBRE Asia-Pacific. A growing number of jobs in the future will require creative intelligence, social skills and the ability to use artificial intelligence. The report is based on interviews with 200 experts, business leaders and young people from Asia-Pacific, Europe and North America. It shows that in the US technology already destroys more jobs than it creates. But the report states, “Losing occupations does not necessarily mean losing jobs—just changing what people do.” Growth in new jobs could occur as much, according to the research. “The growth of 20- to 40-person companies that have the speed and technological know-how will directly challenge big companies,” it states. Another study by Pew Research Centre found 52 percent of experts in artificial intelligence and robotics were optimistic about the future and believed there would still be enough jobs in the next few years. The optimists pictured “a future in which robots do not take the place of more jobs than they create.” “Technology will continue to affect jobs, but more jobs seem likely to be created. Although there have always been unemployed people, when we reached a few billion people, there were billions of jobs. There is no shortage of things that need to be done and that will not change,” Microsoft’s Jonathan Grudin told researchers. 8. Why are carebots mentioned? A. To give a definition. B. To provide an example. C. To make a comparison. D. To explain a theory. 9. What does the report in paragraph 3 show? A. People will take the place of AI. B. US technology balances job opportunities. C. Many people have to change occupations. D. Big companies are more innovative and flexible. 10. What is Jonathan Grudin’s attitude towards the future of human employment? A. Hopeful. B. Doubtful. C. Unconcerned. D. Worried 11. Which section of a website is the text most probably taken from? A. Art. B. Travel. C. Education. D. Technology. D Every Saturday morning, at 9 am, more than 50, 000 runners set off to run 5km around their local park. The Parkrun phenomenon began with a dozen friends and has inspired 400 events in the UK and more abroad. The events are free, staffed by thousands of volunteers. Runners range from four years old to grandparents; their times range from Andrew Baddeley’s world record of 13 minutes 48 seconds up to an hour. Parkrun is succeeding where London’s Olympic “legacy (传承)” is failing. Ten years ago on Monday, it was announced that the Games of the 30th Olympics would be to inspire a nation of sport lovers away from their couches (沙发). The population would be fitter, healthier and produce more winners. It has not happened. Officials are still wondering why London Olympics failed to “inspire a generation”. The success of Parkrun offers answers. Parkrun is not a race but a time trial: Your only competitor is the clock. This kind of sport welcomes anybody. Both new runners and champion runners can have a lot of fun. The Olympic Games, by contrast, wanted to produce more elite athletes. The stress on success kept newcomers from taking part. In fact, state involvement in planning community sports associations is a bit overdone. If there is a role for government, it should really be getting involved in providing common goods — making sure there is space for playing fields and the money to build tennis and netball courts, and encouraging all these activities in schools. But all the while governments have been busy with selling green spaces, taking money from local authorities and declining attention on sports in education. Instead of wordy, worthy strategies, future governments need to do more to provide the conditions for sports to develop, or at least not make them worse. 12. What does the author want to show about Parkrun in the first paragraph? A. Its history. B. Its difficulty. C. Its popularity. D. Its development. 13. What can we infer about the Games of the 30th Olympics? A. It promoted national sport participation. B. It didn’t bring citizens the expected benefits. C. It helped popularize the Parkrun movement. D. Its organizers found the answer to the failure in the Games. 14. What does the underlined word “elite” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Intelligent. B. Brave. C. Excellent. D. Healthy. 15. What should governments do about sports according to the author? A. Sell or take up green spaces. B. Pay less attention to sports in education. C. Organize community sports associations. D. Provide the right conditions for sports to develop. 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。 How to Learn Several Languages at a Time Learning a new language is a challenging and wonderfully rewarding experience.

A boy called Edward grew up in a similar environment where winning was all that was valued, and he longed to succeed. He was good at running, so he called everyone in the nearby villages for a race. A large group of people from around came to see this exciting event! Edward had been training hard for this race. He ran among the strongest boys from around the villages, and the young boy came out victorious! The crowd went wild with excitement as they cheerfully held banners (横幅) praising him. The boy loved the attention. It made him feel happy and energetic. There were two types of races-short distances and long distances. The boy was unbeatable in both the races he competed in. The crowd loved him even more after the second victory; they clapped with excitement. The boy felt very proud of his achievements. But among the crowd was a wise older man who did not seem as impressed with the boy’s performances as the rest. Just as the boy thought the races for the day were over, the old man shouted from the crowd, “There is one more race left, the most important one.” The boy was surprised by the additional race, but he was, confident he could win any race. The old man brought two new competitors for the boy, a blind man and a weak old lady. “What type of race is this? I can easily win them,” the boy said. “The most important one,” repeated the old man. So, the boy ran the race as he knew he would win this time, too. When the boy crossed the finish line, the blind man was still at the start, and the old lady had just started to move. The boy was successful, and he raised his hands with great joy after his victory. 注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 To his disbelief, the crowd was very silent. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Finally, all three crossed the finish line together. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1~5 CBAAC 6~10 BBACB 11~15 ACCBA 16~20 ABCAB 永昌县第一高级中学2023–2024–1第一次月考试卷 高二英语 考生注意： 1.本试卷分选择题和非选择题两部分。满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 2.答题前，考生务必用直径0.5毫米黑色墨水签字笔将密封线内项目填写清楚。 3.考生作答时，请将答案答在答题卡上。选择题每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑；非选择题请用直径0.5毫米黑色墨水签字笔在答题卡上各题的答题区域内作答，超出答题区域书写的答案无效，在试题卷、草稿纸上作答无效。 4.本卷命题范围：至北师大版选择性必修第一册Unit 2 Lesson 2。 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。 1.

No one was clapping or cheering for his win. The boy was shocked. So, he asked the old man what had happened. The old man said, “Let’s start the race again, but all three of you finish together this time.” The boy raced again, but he helped and guided the blind man, supported the old lady, and walked along with her this time. Finally, all three crossed the finish line together. The crowd cheered and clapped, which may have been louder than earlier. The boy was confused. So, he asked the old man, “Who is the winner of this race? Who is the crowd cheering for?” The wise old man put his hands around the boy’s shoulders and answered, “Boy, you have won much more in this race than any other race you have ever run, and in this race, the crowd is not cheering for any winners but for your great teamwork.” 1~5 CBAAC 6~10 BBACB 11~15 ACCBA 16~20 ABCAB 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
