He got his license (执照) to practice law without ever having stopped foot inside a college. Everywhere he went, Lincoln carried a book with him. He looked through page after page while his horse rested at the end of a long row of planting. Whenever he could escape work, he would lie with his head against a tree and read. Though the young Lincoln never left America, he traveled with Byron’s Childe Harold’s Pilgrimage to Spain and Portugal: accompanied Robert Burns to Edinburgh; and followed the English kings into battle with Shakespeare. As he explored the wonders of literature and the history of the country, the young Lincoln developed ambitions (志向) far beyond the expectations of his family and neighbors. It was through literature that he was able to go beyond his surroundings and reach his destination. The books to feed Lincoln’s knowledge hunger did not come cheaply. The story is often recounted of the time he borrowed Parson Weems’s The Life of George Washington from Josiah Crawford, a well-to-do farmer. Touched by this story of the first president’s life, he took the book to his room at night, where he read as long as he could stay awake, placing the book on a shell between the logs (圆木) so he could fetch it at daybreak. During a heavy rainstorm one day, the book was badly soiled. Lincoln went to Crawford’s house, explained what had happened and offered to work off the value of the book. Crawford worked out the value of two full days’ work pulling corn, which Lincoln considered an unfair repayment. Nevertheless, he straightaway set to work and kept on until all work was done. Then, having paid his debt, Lincoln wrote poems and songs making fun of Crawford’s large nose. Thus Crawford won an everlasting place in Lincoln’s writings. 4. What can we learn about Lincoln from the first paragraph? A. He failed to get a law license. B. He preferred working to reading. C. He was an excellent self-taught learner. D. He read on horseback in order to escape work. 5. Which of the following contributed the most to Lincoln’s achievement? A. Reading widely. B. Creating his own business. C. Traveling around the world. D. Being supported by his family. 6. What happened to the book Lincoln borrowed from Crawford? A. It was stolen by a farmer. B. It was burned by a circle fire. C. It was damaged in a rainstorm. D. It was lost and never to be found. 7. Which of the following can best describe Lincoln according to the last paragraph? A. Proud and helpful. B. Honest and determined. C. Creative and curious. D. Intelligent and competitive. C When it comes to the capital city of Japan, people often picture a crowded modern city of concrete jungle (水泥丛林). Tokyo has little space for parks covered with trees and grass. However, the condition is taking a turn for the better. In an attempt to add a little greenery to the concrete, Tokyo has a rooftop project started, in which man y city roofs are being turned into gardens. Rooftop planting has been on the rise since the city government made it mandatory (强制的) for new buildings to cover at least 20 percent of available space with greenery. “You see buildings and buildings all around Tokyo. Tokyo obviously notes more greenery as a city, and rooftop greening may be one way to do it.” said Atsuro Tarutoko, manager of the Hearton Hotel, which was built with a $100,000 rooftop garden. Green roofs house a wide range of pleats, which include flowers and grasses. They are appealing to the eyes. Apart from that, green roofs are environmentally friendly. Experts say the green rolls also provide environmental benefits as the gardens cut is door temperatures , reducing air-conditioning costs. “I believe part of our jobs is to try to add some quality space into the city’s surroundings and allow local people to feel that quality,” said Aya Mugita, a construction project developer at a recent green technology display in Tokyo. Some information technology companies are already cashing in on the rooftop greenery business. “We provide software that figures out the amount of carbon dioxide (CO₂) that can be absorbed by a garden based on the types and numbers of trees to be planted there,” said Yutaka Tanaka of Tokyo-based software designer Ecol System. But experts say changing the city jungle into a green garden will take tens of years. 8. What is the purpose of the rooftop project in Tokyo? A. To increase living space. B. To make the city greener. C. To improve construction quality. D. To save concrete used in building. 9. What can be known about the roof plants? A. They are easy to plant. B. They have limited variety. C. They take up too much space. D. They beautify the surroundings. 10. What do the experts mean in the last paragraph? A. The project is not well received by the citizens. B. Long-term efforts are needed to achieve the change. C. The IT companies will help build all the green roofs. D. Tokyo citizens are expected to live in green houses soon. 11. What is the suitable title for the text? A. Enlarged City Size in Japan B. Benefits of Rooftop Greenery C. Rooftop Garden Out of Concrete Jungle D. Environmentally Friendly Building Materials D How often have you wondered what the boy sitting across from you on the bus is really thinking? It seems that you will never really know for sure. After all, the content of our thoughts is unperceivable to anyone else. Neuroscience (神经科学) research into how we think and what we’re thinking makes it possible to watch directly into the brain to read out the physical make-up of our thoughts, some would say to read our minds. The technology that is changing what once was impossible in science into just plain science is a specialized use of MRI scanning (扫描) called “functional MRI”, fMRI for short. It makes it possible to see what’s going on inside the brain while people are thinking. What neuroscientist Marcel Just and his colleagues have done is combine fMRI’s ability to look at the brain in action with computer science's new power to sort through massive amounts of data. The goal is to see if they could identify exactly what happens in the brain when people think specific thoughts. They did an experiment where they asked subjects to think about ten objects—five of them tools like scissors or rulers, and live of them buildings like castles or towers. They then recorded and analyzed the activity in the subjects’ brains for each. When we think “ruler” or “tower” for example, Just says neurons start firing at varying levels of intensity (强度) in different areas throughout the brain. “And we found that we could identify which object they were thinking about from their brain activation patterns (激活模式) . We're identifying the thought that’s taking place,” he said. IMRI scanning has already been used to try to figure out what we want to buy and how to sell it to us. It’s a new field called “neuromarketing”. One of its pioneers, Gemma Calvert, says it’s a growing field. “What we’ve seen is a sort of snowballing effect over the last few years.” 12. Which can best replace the underlined word “unperceivable” in paragraph 1? A. Definite. B. Professional. C. Various. D. Secret. 13. What is fMRI used to do? A. Observe your physical activities. B. Introduce plain science to the public. C. Figure out what you are thinking about. D. Find out how your brain is made up of. 14. What is paragraph 5 mainly about? A. The process of the experiment. B. The objects used in the experiment. C. The major findings of the research. D. The subjects involved in the research. 15. What does Gemma Calvert think of neuromarketing? A. Fruitless. B. Promising. C. Challenging. D. Unpredictable. 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。 Traveling is becoming more and more popular every year. It can be passion to so many people.

The boys in her class always made fun of her “funny” walk, saying she was an ugly girl. Kelly’s parent took her to the hospital for examination. It turned out that her walk was a sign of something far more serious. A doctor said that she suffered from scoliosis (脊柱侧弯) and needed an operation. The operation was carried out one week later. Following the operation, Kelly had to lie flat on her back in the Children’s Hospital, wrapped in cast (石膏). She could do almost nothing but stare at the ceiling. She turned her eyes to one side and saw the dozen girls in her ward (病房), imagining they were all prettier than she would ever be. One thing Kelly looked forward to each day was a visit from her parents. But that day Kelly didn’t even have that. A rainstorm had flooded out the roads, and Kelly was stuck, alone and hidden away from the world. Luckily, the TV was on. When Kelly’s beloved TV icon (偶像) Ms. Robbins appeared on the screen, her eyes lit up. She and her whole family admired Ms. Robbins so much not only because of her excellent singing skills but also her devotion to charity. Ms. Robbins was always reported to make her efforts to help those in need, especially children. Now she was singing her hit song “Go for happiness”. When Ms. Robbins smiled through the TV screen, Kelly believed she was looking right at her, which filled Kelly’s heart with warmth and power. For a moment, Kelly even forgot about those boys who called her an ugly girl. Noises in the doorway caught her attention. Some special person arrived for a visit. Unbelievable! It was Ms. Robbins! 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。 Kelly watched her say “hello” to the girl in the bed nearest the door. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Kelly could hardly believe her ears because almost nobody except her parents had ever called her that. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力1～5 BCBAA 6～10 BCBAC 11～15 AACAC 16～20 ABBCB 绝密★启用前 高二英语试卷 2023—2024学年度下学期期末质量检测 本试卷满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 注意事项： 1. 答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2. 答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 3. 考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 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.

Ms. Robbins was nice to everyone. She moved through the room, stopping at every bedside for a short exchange. Then she made her way to Kelly. She looked down at Kelly and smiled. A genuine smile, like the one Kelly had seen on the TV. Kelly could happily feel that Ms. Robbins didn’t care that she wasn’t pretty or laugh at her cast. Then Ms. Robbins reached out and lightly touched Kelly’s arm, saying, “What a pretty girl!” Kelly could hardly believe her ears because almost nobody except her parents had ever called her that. Then she heard Ms. Robbins add, “Being strong-willed makes you prettier!” Ms. Robbins’ words really touched little Kelly. Kelly couldn’t know for sure whether Ms. Robbins changed the life of other children in the ward in the way that she changed Kelly. But she did know that by the time her cast came off, she reentered the world with a different mindset. She was no longer disturbed by the boys at school, not caring what those boys said about her. She became a confident and positive girl! 听力1～5 BCBAA 6～10 BCBAC 11～15 AACAC 16～20 ABBCB 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
