I thought it would require interactions with others. But later, I was astonished when I got to experience it firsthand. Recently, we did a poetry project, and one of the activities was a peer (同龄人) review. I would never have taken part if it was up to me, as I preferred to work independently. But when I got involved, I found in the experience, I had done something that I thought was nearly impossible it made my poetry better. My partner informed me of my mistakes and told me where I could give more detail. One of our final products of the project was to present our poetry to the class. I’ve always loved public speaking, but I thought with Summit Learning, I would have fewer chances to speak. I was wrong. The peer activities we did with a partner gave me more belief in my ability and inspired me to do more to make my presentation the best it could possibly be. Interactions like these are what Summit Learning is all about. This style of learning brings a positive and hard-working culture that allows us to push our boundaries and keep going. It creates a sense of community since we are all working towards a similar goal. As an active boy, I have always been ahead and advanced, but in a normal classroom, there are restrictions on what I can do. With Summit Learning, I can go beyond expectations in projects or move ahead in learning new content when I’m ready. I have ownership of my work and pursue my goals. Summit Learning has showed me how much people can grow and change. It has helped me see people and myself differently. It has been one of the greatest experiences of my life, and I cannot see myself going back to a normal classroom. 4. What was the author’s initial response to Summit Learning? A. He was unwilling to attend it. B. He was excited to take part in it. C. He was astonished to hear about it. D. He was unhappy to withdraw from it. 5. How did the poetry project benefit the author? A. It boosted his confidence. B. It developed his sense of humor. C. It reminded him to be independent. D. It taught him how to organize activities. 6. What can be inferred about Summit Learning? A. It proves the limits of one’s abilities. B. It teaches poetry in a normal classroom. C. It transforms the traditional way of learning. D. It promotes diversity of classroom objectives. 7. How does the author find Summit Learning now? A. Demanding. B. Admirable. C. Upsetting. D. Conventional. C Cultivated meat, also known as lab-grown meat, has been cleared for sale in the US.Actually，Lab-grown meat is made by feeding a mix of nutrients to animal cells in steel tanks in labs. The idea is to create an alternative to agriculturally raised meat. And unlike other meat substitutes which are made from plant proteins and other ingredients, lab-grown meat is real meat. Upside Foods and Good Meat, two companies that make “cultivated chicken”, said that they have gotten approval from the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) to start producing their cell-based proteins. Good Meat said that production is starting immediately. Cultivated meat is grown in a giant vat (缸), much like what you’d find at a beer factory. Last week both companies revealed that the USDA approved labels for their products. In March, Good Meat received a“no questions”letter from the FDA, confirming the product’s safety for sale in the US. Upside Foods also received one in November. Both the USDA and the FDA are overseeing the growing cultivated meat market. CEO of Good Meat, Josh Tetrick, described the approval as a major milestone for the company, the industry, and the food system. Upside founder Uma Valeti called the approval “a giant step forward towards a more sustainable future”. Good Meat, which has been selling its products in Singapore, advertises its product as “meat without slaughter (屠宰)”, a more humane approach to eating meat. Supporters hope that cultivated meat will help fight climate change by reducing the need for traditional animal agriculture, which emits greenhouse gases. The company previously announced a partnership with chef José Andrés to introduce the product to a Washington DC restaurant, although the launch time remains uncertain. As production increases, Good Meat may explore cooperation with other restaurants or supermarkets. Upside is planning to introduce its product at Bar Crenn, a San Francisco restaurant, but did not share a launch date yet. Selling at Bar Crenn should help Upside learn more about how chefs and diners feel about the product. Eventually, the company plans to work with other restaurants and make its products available in supermarkets. For now, it is holding a contest to allow curious customers to be among the first to try the product. 8. What do Upside Foods and Good Meat have in common? A. Both have partnerships with international chefs. B. Both are involved in producing lab-grown meat. C. Both declared a launch date of their cultivated meat. D. Both received FDA approval for worldwide distribution. 9. What is the potential benefit of cultivated meat? A. Higher safety for eating. B. Lower costs for restaurants. C. Improvements in traditional animal agriculture. D Positive impacts on climate change. 10. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Diners have access to free products from Upside. B. Curious customers will become the main force of buying. C. Upside will evaluate the responses of chefs and diners to its product. D. Upside will conduct a survey among diners about their paying ability. 11. What is the text mainly about? A. The benefits of cultivated meat. B. The research on cultivated meat. C. The history and processing of cultivated meat. D. The approval and prospect of cultivated meat. D Do you ever hear a friend speak on a topic with the belief that “everyone”thinks the same way? Do you often find yourself surrounded in a social media feed that is completely tailored to you and your beliefs, reading along without the immediate realization? A social media echo chamber (回声壁) is when one experiences a tailored media experience that leave out opposing viewpoints and differing voices. Social media sites like Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube connect groups of like-minded users together based on shared content preferences. As a result, people see and take in information according to our preexisting beliefs and opinions. Social media companies therefore rely on algorithms (算法) to assess our interests and flood us with information that will keep our attention. The algorithms focus on what we “like”, and “share” to keep feeding content that makes us comfortable. In order to truly get access to all information and to evaluate our media, we must give ourselves the opportunity to step out of our comfort zone. While this becomes increasingly challenging, there are things we can do. The first step is to beef up your media consumption sources. Adding in a few media sources with differing opinions will allow you to at least understand what people are saying outside of your echo chamber. Next, read each thing you see with a critical eye. Make sure that each thing you accept as truth is truly fact. Lastly, attempt to search out reliable new sources that are known for trying their best to leave out false information. By accepting that our media buffet on social media is a product of our present beliefs and opinions, we can work to make sure we are not simply stuck in a social media echo chamber. 12. What is a result of the social media echo chamber? A. People contact like-minded online users effectively. B. People keep reading for more differing viewpoints. C. People rely on algorithms to evaluate their interests. D. People only get information confirming their beliefs. 13. What does “beef up”underlined in paragraph 3 mean? A. Track. B. Improve. C. Provide. D. Identify. 14. Which of the following can help us get out of the echo chamber? A. Criticizing fake news on social media. B. Exposing ourselves to opposing voices. C. Researching primary sources of information. D. Accepting our present beliefs and opinions. 15. What is the purpose of the text? A. To call on people to use algorithms frequently. B. To ask people not to take in information blindly. C. To promote the use of various social media sites. D. To inform people of new technology developments. 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 have always wanted to know what the future will look like.

Since there is still much to do in this area, this will be the focus at least for the next 150 years. But why do we need to predict the future? Predicting the future is important for two reasons: First, we need to start to think about what kind of future we would like for ourselves and to pass on to the next generation. ___18___ How about the virtual worlds? It might be in the future to experience the sand between your toes, and hear the waves, just lying in your bed at home. ___19___ So, even if a great invention is there for an affordable price, it’ll never take the place of the common experience if it is not real. ___20___ What we’ll see in the next 50 years is the transition (过渡) from an oil-dependent society to a new society. Here there’ll be new medicine, continued exploration of space, challenges in the climate change, and new inventions that make life a little easier. A. So what will the future look like then? B. Will this change in the next 150 years? C Predicting the future can help us in many ways. D. However, you’ll never get the feeling of being there. E. Well, to understand the future, you must know the past. F. However, no matter how real the experience will feel, it doesn’t happen for real. G. Then we need to know what decisions we need to make today that will give the best result in the future. 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。 Harry Peck remembered sitting next to two frightened young sisters in a trans-Atlantic flight from Amsterdam to Minneapolis 23 years ago.

One day, I headed to the downtown for an interview. I sat down in the streetcar, and there against the seat was a beautiful silk umbrella with a silver handle decorated with gold scrolls, among which there was a name carved. On impulse(冲动) I determined to find the owner myself. I got off the streetcar in the heavy rain and thankfully opened the umbrella to protect myself. Then I searched a telephone book for the name, I found it immediately and called it, waiting patiently, and then a lady answered. "Yes, “she said in surprise, with extreme excitement." It was my umbrella which had been stolen a year ago.” So appealing was her pleasure that I forgot I was looking for a job and went directly to her small house. She took the umbrella, with teary eyes, explaining with choking voice that the umbrella was given by her parents, now dead, Her happiness at retrieving(找回)this special possession was such that to have accepted her reward would have spoiled something, so I refused her offer and left. The following months were hard. I can only obtain temporary employment, for a small salary. What was worse, I had just lost my last job before Christmas, with only fifteen dollars left. Unless a miracle happened, I would be homeless in January, foodless and jobless. I had prayed steadily for weeks, and there had been no answer but this coldness and darkness. The air was full of Christmas merriment, with the bells ringing and children shouting in the bitter dusk of the evening. But there should be no Christmas for me, I knew, no gifts, no remembrance whatsoever. Thinking of this, I couldn’t control my tears on my way home, but I managed a smile so could greet my little daughter. She opened the door for me and threw herself in my arms, screaming joyously and demanding desirably for her Christmas gift. There I stood, frozen, overwhelmed by misery. 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 Suddenly, the doorbell rang and Peggy rushed to answer it, calling that it must be Santa Claus. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Suddenly, a note attached to one package caught my eyes. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力答案：1-5 CAACC 6-10 ABCCB 11-15 ABACB 16-20 CBAAB 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 襄阳五中2023—2024学年高二上学期9月月考英语试卷 第一部分 听力(1-20小题) 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.

The idea is to create an alternative to agriculturally raised meat. And unlike other meat substitutes which are made from plant proteins and other ingredients, lab-grown meat is real meat. Upside Foods and Good Meat, two companies that make “cultivated chicken”, said that they have gotten approval from the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) to start producing their cell-based proteins. Good Meat said that production is starting immediately. Cultivated meat is grown in a giant vat (缸), much like what you’d find at a beer factory. Last week both companies revealed that the USDA approved labels for their products. In March, Good Meat received a“no questions”letter from the FDA, confirming the product’s safety for sale in the US. Upside Foods also received one in November. Both the USDA and the FDA are overseeing the growing cultivated meat market. CEO of Good Meat, Josh Tetrick, described the approval as a major milestone for the company, the industry, and the food system. Upside founder Uma Valeti called the approval “a giant step forward towards a more sustainable future”. Good Meat, which has been selling its products in Singapore, advertises its product as “meat without slaughter (屠宰)”, a more humane approach to eating meat. Supporters hope that cultivated meat will help fight climate change by reducing the need for traditional animal agriculture, which emits greenhouse gases. The company previously announced a partnership with chef José Andrés to introduce the product to a Washington DC restaurant, although the launch time remains uncertain. As production increases, Good Meat may explore cooperation with other restaurants or supermarkets. Upside is planning to introduce its product at Bar Crenn, a San Francisco restaurant, but did not share a launch date yet. Selling at Bar Crenn should help Upside learn more about how chefs and diners feel about the product. Eventually, the company plans to work with other restaurants and make its products available in supermarkets. For now, it is holding a contest to allow curious customers to be among the first to try the product. 8. What do Upside Foods and Good Meat have in common? A. Both have partnerships with international chefs. B. Both are involved in producing lab-grown meat. C. Both declared a launch date of their cultivated meat. D. Both received FDA approval for worldwide distribution. 9. What is the potential benefit of cultivated meat? A. Higher safety for eating. B. Lower costs for restaurants. C. Improvements in traditional animal agriculture. D. Positive impacts on climate change. 10. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Diners have access to free products from Upside. B. Curious customers will become the main force of buying. C. Upside will evaluate the responses of chefs and diners to its product. D. Upside will conduct a survey among diners about their paying ability. 11. What is the text mainly about? A. The benefits of cultivated meat. B. The research on cultivated meat. C. The history and processing of cultivated meat. D. The approval and prospect of cultivated meat. 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇说明文。人造肉，也被称为实验室培育肉，已获准在美国销售。本文同时介绍了该项发明的市场前景。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Upside Foods and Good Meat, two companies that make ‘cultivated chicken’, said that they have gotten approval from the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) to start producing their cell-based proteins.(两家生产‘养殖鸡’的公司Upside Foods和Good Meat表示，他们已获得美国农业部(USDA)的批准，开始生产基于细胞的蛋白质)”可知，Upside Foods和Good Meat两家公司都参与了实验室培育肉的生产。故选B项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“Supporters hope that cultivated meat will help fight climate change by reducing the need for traditional animal agriculture, which emits greenhouse gases.(支持者希望人造肉能够减少对排放温室气体的传统畜牧业的需求，从而帮助应对气候变化)”可知，人造肉潜在的益处在于其能对气候变化产生积极影响。故选D项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Selling at Bar Crenn should help Upside learn more about how chefs and diners feel about the product. Eventually, the company plans to work with other restaurants and make its products available in supermarkets.

Do you often find yourself surrounded in a social media feed that is completely tailored to you and your beliefs, reading along without the immediate realization? A social media echo chamber (回声壁) is when one experiences a tailored media experience that leave out opposing viewpoints and differing voices. Social media sites like Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube connect groups of like-minded users together based on shared content preferences. As a result, people see and take in information according to our preexisting beliefs and opinions. Social media companies therefore rely on algorithms (算法) to assess our interests and flood us with information that will keep our attention. The algorithms focus on what we “like”, and “share” to keep feeding content that makes us comfortable. In order to truly get access to all information and to evaluate our media, we must give ourselves the opportunity to step out of our comfort zone. While this becomes increasingly challenging, there are things we can do. The first step is to beef up your media consumption sources. Adding in a few media sources with differing opinions will allow you to at least understand what people are saying outside of your echo chamber. Next, read each thing you see with a critical eye. Make sure that each thing you accept as truth is truly fact. Lastly, attempt to search out reliable new sources that are known for trying their best to leave out false information. By accepting that our media buffet on social media is a product of our present beliefs and opinions, we can work to make sure we are not simply stuck in a social media echo chamber. 12. What is a result of the social media echo chamber? A. People contact like-minded online users effectively. B. People keep reading for more differing viewpoints. C. People rely on algorithms to evaluate their interests. D. People only get information confirming their beliefs. 13. What does “beef up”underlined in paragraph 3 mean? A. Track. B. Improve. C. Provide. D. Identify. 14. Which of the following can help us get out of the echo chamber? A. Criticizing fake news on social media. B. Exposing ourselves to opposing voices. C. Researching primary sources of information. D. Accepting our present beliefs and opinions. 15. What is the purpose of the text? A. To call on people to use algorithms frequently. B. To ask people not to take in information blindly. C. To promote the use of various social media sites. D. To inform people of new technology developments. 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. B 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。社交媒体回音室是指一个人体验量身定制的媒体体验，将对立的观点和不同的声音排除在外。本文主要分析了社交媒体回音室产生的原因，并就如何确保我们不会简单地被困在社交媒体的回音室里提出建议。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二自然段“As a result, people see and take in information according to our preexisting beliefs and opinions. (因此，人们根据我们先前存在的信仰和观点来看待和接受信息。)”可知，社交媒体回音室的结果是人们只能得到证实他们信仰的信息。故选D。 【13题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第三自然段划线词后的句子“Adding in a few media sources with differing opinions will allow you to at least understand what people are saying outside of your echo chamber. (加入一些有不同意见的媒体来源，至少可以让你了解人们在你的回音室外说什么。)”可推知，人们需要加强媒体消费来源，从而真正获得所有信息并评估我们的媒体。故beef up意为“加强；改进”。A. Track.追踪；B. Improve.改进；C. Provide.提供；D. Identify.识别。故选B。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Adding in a few media sources with differing opinions will allow you to at least understand what people are saying outside of your echo chamber. Next, read each thing you see with a critical eye. (加入一些有不同意见的媒体来源，至少可以让你了解人们在你的回音室外说什么。接下来，用批判的眼光阅读你所看到的每一件事。)”可知，让自己暴露在反对的声音中可以帮助我们走出回音室。故选B。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句“In order to truly get access to all information and to evaluate our media, we must give ourselves the opportunity to step out of our comfort zone.( 为了真正获得所有信息并评估我们的媒体，我们必须给自己一个走出舒适区的机会。) ”和最后一句“By accepting that our media buffet on social media is a product of our present beliefs and opinions, we can work to make sure we are not simply stuck in a social media echo chamber. (通过接受我们在社交媒体上的媒体自助餐是我们当前信仰和观点的产物，我们可以努力确保我们不会简单地被困在社交媒体的回音室里。)”可知，作者希望通过本文要求人们不要盲目接受信息。故选B。 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 have always wanted to know what the future will look like.

One day, I headed to the downtown for an interview. I sat down in the streetcar, and there against the seat was a beautiful silk umbrella with a silver handle decorated with gold scrolls, among which there was a name carved. On impulse(冲动) I determined to find the owner myself. I got off the streetcar in the heavy rain and thankfully opened the umbrella to protect myself. Then I searched a telephone book for the name, I found it immediately and called it, waiting patiently, and then a lady answered. "Yes, “she said in surprise, with extreme excitement." It was my umbrella which had been stolen a year ago.” So appealing was her pleasure that I forgot I was looking for a job and went directly to her small house. She took the umbrella, with teary eyes, explaining with choking voice that the umbrella was given by her parents, now dead, Her happiness at retrieving(找回)this special possession was such that to have accepted her reward would have spoiled something, so I refused her offer and left. The following months were hard. I can only obtain temporary employment, for a small salary. What was worse, I had just lost my last job before Christmas, with only fifteen dollars left. Unless a miracle happened, I would be homeless in January, foodless and jobless. I had prayed steadily for weeks, and there had been no answer but this coldness and darkness. The air was full of Christmas merriment, with the bells ringing and children shouting in the bitter dusk of the evening. But there should be no Christmas for me, I knew, no gifts, no remembrance whatsoever. Thinking of this, I couldn’t control my tears on my way home, but I managed a smile so could greet my little daughter. She opened the door for me and threw herself in my arms, screaming joyously and demanding desirably for her Christmas gift. There I stood, frozen, overwhelmed by misery. 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 Suddenly, the doorbell rang and Peggy rushed to answer it, calling that it must be Santa Claus. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Suddenly, a note attached to one package caught my eyes. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Suddenly, the doorbell rang and Peggy rushed to answer it, calling that it must be Santa Claus.
