B Clair Hughes initiated her quest for frugal methodologies to extricate herself from a £3,500 educational advance that had spiraled into a financial overhang. This economic strategist commenced an online odyssey in search of vouchers that would provide her with markdowns on her purchases. She divulged that the full value of an item seldom left her wallet, proclaiming, “Deductions are perpetually accessible; the key lies in meticulous organization. Initially, I anticipated an onerous endeavor, but I have now assimilated this lifestyle to the point where it has become second nature. I have effortlessly amassed savings exceeding £15,000.” In the year 2010, Ms. Hughes directed her attention towards fiscal conservation when she relocated to share a domicile with her significant other, Shane Byrne, an instructor within the telecommunications sector. Seeking counsel through digital means, she implemented a series of astute financial maneuvers, such as transferring her financial overdraft to an account that levied no interest. Subsequently, after a few years, she encountered an online collective of individuals devoted to the art of voucher accumulation and resolved to experiment with their practices. She dedicated considerable time to navigating the digital expanse in pursuit of vouchers, meticulously printing each one to accompany her on her commercial forays. Over the passage of time, she has secured some remarkable bargains. On one occasion, a pair of luminaries valued at £140 were hers for the mere sum of £35. Two years prior, Ms. Hughes expanded her repertoire of economic strategies by incorporating rebate applications that offer monetary restitution on a spectrum of items from alcoholic beverages to personal care products. Post each commercial venture, she uploads visual documentation of her financial transactions, which are subsequently scrutinized, and restitution is granted on certain acquisitions. Among her other premier recommendations for financial prudence, Ms. Hughes advocates participation in remunerative online surveys, which have yielded her a substantial cache of vouchers. She remarked, “I have encountered accounts of individuals gathering forsaken receipts from shopping carts to seek overlooked discounts. The extent to which vouchers and rebate applications have been of service to me is astonishing. The community significantly enhances my financial endeavors. There is invariably an individual prepared to elucidate the operational intricacies.” 4. What does saving money mean to Clair Hughes? A. It’s part of her daily life. B. It makes her shop less.

Under the aegis of Audrey Looby, a luminary from the University of Florida, the Global Library of Underwater Biological Sounds consortium, in unison with the World Register of Marine Species, has meticulously chronicled 729 species of marine mammals, aquatic vertebrates, and invertebrates that generate either active or passive auditory signals. Furthermore, the register encompasses an additional 21,911 species presumed to be potential sources of sound. “Given that the aquatic expanse envelops more than 70% of the Earth’s terrestrial envelope, the majority of our planet’s ecosystems are submerged, and it is a prevalent misconception that the majority of these aquatic entities exist in an auditory vacuum. The recently unveiled exhaustive digital repository, which catalogues the known sound-producing creatures, is unprecedented and has the potential to transform the domains of marine and aquatic science,” elucidated the team of investigators. “The act of eavesdropping on the subaquatic symphony can unveil a plethora of insights regarding the species that orchestrate these sounds and serves a multitude of applications, from the stewardship of fisheries, the detection of invasive species, to the appraisal of the imprint of human activity on the environment,” remarked Looby, who is also the co-architect of FishSounds, a repository that curates a spectrum of research records on the acoustic emissions of fish. The research of this collective was disseminated in the annals of Scientific Data and featured contributions from 19 scribes hailing from six distinct nations. “Comprehending the modalities of interaction between marine species and their environs is of paramount global significance, and the unrestricted availability of this dataset marks a monumental stride towards this aspiration,” proclaimed Keran Cox, an affiliate of the investigative cadre. “The majority of individuals are acquainted with the vocalizations of cetaceans or marine mammals, yet are frequently astonished to discover that a multitude of fish and invertebrates also utilize sound as a medium of communication,” Looby stated. “Our database serves to exemplify the ubiquity of sound production in the subaquatic realm across a diverse array of creatures, yet our understanding remains in its infancy, with much yet to be uncovered.” 8. Why is the data listed in paragraph 2? A. To show the types of biological sounds. B. To show the sum of documentsion animals. C. To show the species of underwater animals. D. Fo show the number of the sound-producing species. 9. What is people’s misunderstanding according to the text? A. Most rishes can’t make sounds. B. Many mammals can live in water. C. Different species can communicate. D. Ocean animals can’t get onto the land. 10. What is the goal mentioned by Kieran Cox? A. To document ocean animals’ sounds. B. To set up a free database for scientists. C. To learn how ocean animals communicate. D. To publish the team’s research in ocientifio Data. 11. What is the main purpose of the text? A. To call on people to protect ocean animals. B. To introduce the finding of a research team. C. To list the animals that can produce souna. D. To uncover th mysterious underwater world. D On a daily basis, the digital expanse witnesses an exchange of over two billion pictorial representations. Although imagery offers an entertaining and articulate avenue for online interaction, the process of digesting and generating such content presents formidable obstacles for individuals who are devoid of sight or are enduring profound visual impairments. Given the reality that there are more than 39 million individuals who are sightless, and an excess of 246 million who are grappling with severe visual limitations, a significant cohort may perceive themselves as alienated from the discourse that revolves around photographic content on the Internet. Scholars hailing from Harvard University are endeavoring to construct technological solutions that would enable the visually impaired populace to partake in the appreciation of photographic imagery with the same zest as their sighted counterparts. The advent of automated descriptive text represents a groundbreaking innovation that engenders a narrative depiction of a photograph by leveraging the latest advancements in the field of object recognition technology. Individuals who rely on auditory output devices on their digital gadgets will now be presented with an enumeration of elements that a photograph might encapsulate as they navigate through online images. Previously, those utilizing auditory output devices were limited to hearing solely the nomenclature of the individual who disseminated the photograph, succeeded by the designation “photo” upon encountering a pictorial piece. However, the introduction of automated descriptive text now allows for a more elaborate portrayal of the contents of a photograph. For example, an individual might now perceive an auditory description such as “a visual scene comprising three individuals, exhibiting expressions of joy, in an outdoor setting.” This capability is made possible through the object recognition technology developed by Harvard University, which is predicated on a computational framework that encompasses billions of variables and has been refined through exposure to millions of exemplars. Each stride in object recognition technology signifies the potential for researchers to render technological interfaces increasingly inclusive and accessible to a broader demographic. When individuals are interlinked, they are positioned to accomplish remarkable feats, both in isolation and as a collective entity, and such interconnection benefits all participants within the network. The rollout of the automated descriptive text is initially targeting auditory output devices on mobile communication devices configured to English, with plans to extend this nascent functionality to additional linguistic variants and technological platforms in the near term. Although this technology is still in its infancy, harnessing its current competencies to articulate the essence of photographs marks a pivotal advancement in the quest to furnish our community with visual impediments with the identical advantages and gratifications that the broader population derives from photographic imagery. 12. Why is the technology launched? A. There are so many photos on the Internet. B. There are many people suffering from blindness. C. Some digital devices are in need of the technology. D. People with vision problems fail to enjoy photos online. 13. What is the advantage of the technology over the previous one? A. It can offer more photos to blind people. B. It can describe more about online photos. C. It can recognize the person who shares photos. D. It can satisfy the common needs of blind people. 14. What is the key to promoting the technology? A. The photos on the Internet. B. People’s care for blind people. C. People’s connections to each other. D. The object recognition technology. 15 Which can best explain the underlined word “nascent” in the last paragraph? A. Emerging. B. Reliable. C. Powerful. D. Conventional. 二、阅读七选五：本大题共5小题，共12.5分。 Do you have plastic bottles at home? Did you throw empty plastic bottles into the trash, just because you didn’t know how to use them?

His paternal progenitor oversaw a commercial enterprise dedicated to the trade of marine life in the Florida Keys, an endeavor in which William actively participated. The act of angling was an integral component of their existence. His father was wont to remark, “The pursuit of fishing is a tranquil endeavor, akin to a respite from the world’s tumult.” Motivated by the wisdom imparted by his father, William established a philanthropic organization in Lakeland, Florida, that facilitated angling excursions for numerous youths. The organization’s mission was to mentor economically disadvantaged children, often absent the guidance of paternal figures, in the art and sport of fishing. In the course of the laborious weekdays, William was employed in the commerce of tire sales. However, during the respite of weekends, he, along with a cadre of volunteers—predominantly drawn from his own workshop—would shepherd approximately two score of young charges to partake in the angling activities along the nearby riverbanks. To ensure the safety and enjoyment of the angling experience for the children, he had previously orchestrated specialized training for his team in the disciplines of fishing and maritime navigation. William took it upon himself to personally extend invitations to local abodes, beckoning the young ones to join in the angling sojourns. Many of these children had never before ventured onto a vessel or engaged in the act of fishing, thus William, or “Big Will,” as he was endearingly known by the youngsters, commenced with imparting the fundamental principles of the sport. Subsequently, he imparted the life lessons that fishing could impart: the virtue of patience, the spirit of camaraderie, and the unadulterated pleasure of repose in the great outdoors. The fishing organization facilitated over six hundred such outings, engaging with nearly two thousand children who were devoid of paternal companionship in their formative years. Naturally, William’s magnanimous spirit garnered widespread acclaim within the societal sphere. Upon elucidating his philanthropic mission to Captain Jack, the overseer of a maritime vessel in Clearwater, the captain, in a gesture of solidarity, extended a favorable proposition to William. Consequently, the philanthropic fishing organization was able to reduce the expenditure for their weekend maritime ventures. The children were further inspired to practice the principle of releasing the juvenile marine life. During a recent voyage with children from a communal dwelling, William retained a selection of the larger fish, subsequently savoring a delectable fish stew with the children at the evening repast. William continued to scour the community for youngsters in need, generously sharing his ardor for fishing with them. He articulated, “My sole aspiration is to demonstrate my concern for their well-being and to assure them of my steadfast support.” Numerous children availed themselves of multiple outings, thereby enabling William to cultivate enduring relationships with them. 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。 One day, William noticed his eight-year-old neighbor, Camron, sitting sadly in front of his door. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Big Will’s reputation was growing, and the nonprofit fishing organization attracted more sponsors besides Captain Jack. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2023-2024学年度下学期 建文外国语高二期末考试(校内) ( 英语 )学科考试题 一、阅读理解：本大题共15小题，共37.5分。 A In the domain of gastronomy, one can effortlessly create a quartet of nourishing and palatable recipes, which are both healthful and delectable, within the sanctuary of one’s domicile.

Furthermore, the register encompasses an additional 21,911 species presumed to be potential sources of sound.(在佛罗里达大学杰出学者奥黛丽·罗比的支持下，全球水下生物声音图书馆联盟与世界海洋物种名录一致，精心记录了729种海洋哺乳动物、水生脊椎动物和无脊椎动物产生主动或被动听觉信号的情况。此外，该名录还包括另外21,911种被认为是潜在声音来源的物种)”可知，列数据是为了表示发声物种的数量。故选D。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Given that the aquatic expanse envelops more than 70% of the Earth’s terrestrial envelope, the majority of our planet’s ecosystems are submerged, and it is a prevalent misconception that the majority of these aquatic entities exist in an auditory vacuum.(鉴于水生辽阔覆盖了地球陆地覆盖的70%以上，我们星球上的大多数生态系统都被淹没了，人们普遍误解这些水生实体中的大多数存在于听觉真空中)”可知，人们的误解是大多数鱼不会发声。故选A。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“The act of eavesdropping on the subaquatic symphony can unveil a plethora of insights regarding the species that orchestrate these sounds and serves a multitude of applications, from the stewardship of fisheries, the detection of invasive species, to the appraisal of the imprint of human activity on the environment(窃听水下交响乐的行为可以揭示出关于协调这些声音的物种的大量见解，并服务于多种应用，从渔业管理，入侵物种的检测，到评估人类活动对环境的影响)”可知，Kieran Cox提到的目标是了解海洋动物如何交流。故选C。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Our database serves to exemplify the ubiquity of sound production in the subaquatic realm across a diverse array of creatures, yet our understanding remains in its infancy, with much yet to be uncovered.(我们的数据库为水下领域中各种生物的声音产生提供了例证，但我们的理解仍处于起步阶段，还有很多有待发现)”结合文章主要说明了专家发现了水下物种会发声的情况以及这一发现对于保护海洋动物的意义。可知，文章的主要目的是呼吁人们保护海洋动物。故选A。 D On a daily basis, the digital expanse witnesses an exchange of over two billion pictorial representations. Although imagery offers an entertaining and articulate avenue for online interaction, the process of digesting and generating such content presents formidable obstacles for individuals who are devoid of sight or are enduring profound visual impairments. Given the reality that there are more than 39 million individuals who are sightless, and an excess of 246 million who are grappling with severe visual limitations, a significant cohort may perceive themselves as alienated from the discourse that revolves around photographic content on the Internet. Scholars hailing from Harvard University are endeavoring to construct technological solutions that would enable the visually impaired populace to partake in the appreciation of photographic imagery with the same zest as their sighted counterparts. The advent of automated descriptive text represents a groundbreaking innovation that engenders a narrative depiction of a photograph by leveraging the latest advancements in the field of object recognition technology. Individuals who rely on auditory output devices on their digital gadgets will now be presented with an enumeration of elements that a photograph might encapsulate as they navigate through online images. Previously, those utilizing auditory output devices were limited to hearing solely the nomenclature of the individual who disseminated the photograph, succeeded by the designation “photo” upon encountering a pictorial piece. However, the introduction of automated descriptive text now allows for a more elaborate portrayal of the contents of a photograph. For example, an individual might now perceive an auditory description such as “a visual scene comprising three individuals, exhibiting expressions of joy, in an outdoor setting.” This capability is made possible through the object recognition technology developed by Harvard University, which is predicated on a computational framework that encompasses billions of variables and has been refined through exposure to millions of exemplars. Each stride in object recognition technology signifies the potential for researchers to render technological interfaces increasingly inclusive and accessible to a broader demographic. When individuals are interlinked, they are positioned to accomplish remarkable feats, both in isolation and as a collective entity, and such interconnection benefits all participants within the network. The rollout of the automated descriptive text is initially targeting auditory output devices on mobile communication devices configured to English, with plans to extend this nascent functionality to additional linguistic variants and technological platforms in the near term. Although this technology is still in its infancy, harnessing its current competencies to articulate the essence of photographs marks a pivotal advancement in the quest to furnish our community with visual impediments with the identical advantages and gratifications that the broader population derives from photographic imagery. 12. Why is the technology launched? A. There are so many photos on the Internet. B. There are many people suffering from blindness. C. Some digital devices are in need of the technology. D. People with vision problems fail to enjoy photos online. 13. What is the advantage of the technology over the previous one? A. It can offer more photos to blind people. B. It can describe more about online photos. C. It can recognize the person who shares photos. D. It can satisfy the common needs of blind people. 14. What is the key to promoting the technology? A. The photos on the Internet. B. People’s care for blind people. C. People’s connections to each other. D. The object recognition technology. 15. Which can best explain the underlined word “nascent” in the last paragraph? A. Emerging. B. Reliable. C. Powerful. D. Conventional. 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一种可以帮助有视力问题的人欣赏网上照片的技术。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Given the reality that there are more than 39 million individuals who are sightless, and an excess of 246 million who are grappling with severe visual limitations, a significant cohort may perceive themselves as alienated from the discourse that revolves around photographic content on the Internet.(鉴于有超过3900万人失明，超过2.46亿人正与严重的视觉限制作斗争的现实，一个重要的群体可能会认为自己与围绕互联网上摄影内容的话语格格不入)”可知，这项技术是因为有视力问题的人无法欣赏网上的照片。故选D。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“However, the introduction of automated descriptive text now allows for a more elaborate portrayal of the contents of a photograph.(然而，自动描述文本的引入现在允许对照片内容进行更详细的描述)”可知，与之前的技术相比，这项技术的优势是可以描述更多关于网上照片的信息。故选B。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“When individuals are interlinked, they are positioned to accomplish remarkable feats, both in isolation and as a collective entity, and such interconnection benefits all participants within the network.(当个体相互联系时，无论是单独还是作为一个集体，他们都有能力完成非凡的壮举，这种相互联系使网络中的所有参与者受益)”可知，推广这项技术的关键是人与人之间的联系。故选C。 【15题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“Although this technology is still in its infancy”可知，这项技术仍处于非常新的阶段，即是新兴技术。故划线词意思是“新兴的”。故选A。 二、阅读七选五：本大题共5小题，共12.5分。 Do you have plastic bottles at home?

His paternal progenitor oversaw a commercial enterprise dedicated to the trade of marine life in the Florida Keys, an endeavor in which William actively participated. The act of angling was an integral component of their existence. His father was wont to remark, “The pursuit of fishing is a tranquil endeavor, akin to a respite from the world’s tumult.” Motivated by the wisdom imparted by his father, William established a philanthropic organization in Lakeland, Florida, that facilitated angling excursions for numerous youths. The organization’s mission was to mentor economically disadvantaged children, often absent the guidance of paternal figures, in the art and sport of fishing. In the course of the laborious weekdays, William was employed in the commerce of tire sales. However, during the respite of weekends, he, along with a cadre of volunteers—predominantly drawn from his own workshop—would shepherd approximately two score of young charges to partake in the angling activities along the nearby riverbanks. To ensure the safety and enjoyment of the angling experience for the children, he had previously orchestrated specialized training for his team in the disciplines of fishing and maritime navigation. William took it upon himself to personally extend invitations to local abodes, beckoning the young ones to join in the angling sojourns. Many of these children had never before ventured onto a vessel or engaged in the act of fishing, thus William, or “Big Will,” as he was endearingly known by the youngsters, commenced with imparting the fundamental principles of the sport. Subsequently, he imparted the life lessons that fishing could impart: the virtue of patience, the spirit of camaraderie, and the unadulterated pleasure of repose in the great outdoors. The fishing organization facilitated over six hundred such outings, engaging with nearly two thousand children who were devoid of paternal companionship in their formative years. Naturally, William’s magnanimous spirit garnered widespread acclaim within the societal sphere. Upon elucidating his philanthropic mission to Captain Jack, the overseer of a maritime vessel in Clearwater, the captain, in a gesture of solidarity, extended a favorable proposition to William. Consequently, the philanthropic fishing organization was able to reduce the expenditure for their weekend maritime ventures. The children were further inspired to practice the principle of releasing the juvenile marine life. During a recent voyage with children from a communal dwelling, William retained a selection of the larger fish, subsequently savoring a delectable fish stew with the children at the evening repast. William continued to scour the community for youngsters in need, generously sharing his ardor for fishing with them. He articulated, “My sole aspiration is to demonstrate my concern for their well-being and to assure them of my steadfast support.” Numerous children availed themselves of multiple outings, thereby enabling William to cultivate enduring relationships with them. 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。 One day, William noticed his eight-year-old neighbor, Camron, sitting sadly in front of his door. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Big Will’s reputation was growing, and the nonprofit fishing organization attracted more sponsors besides Captain Jack. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 One day, Wiliam noticed his eight-year-old neighbor, Camron, sitting sadly in front of his door.
