B On a drizzly British spring day, the 2024 Guinness World Records held a ceremony in Bournemouth to award local lifeguard Chris Lewis the title of the world’s longest-serving lifeguard. Lewis, 74, began volunteering as a lifeguard at the age of 16. Over the years, he patrolled the beaches as a member of the Royal lifesaving Society, and in 2001, became part of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) lifeguard service when the charity began providing beach patrols for local authorities. “It’s the best job in the world,” Lewis said. “You’re working on the beach, which you love, and you’re helping people. What could be better?” Most of his colleagues are half his age, but he is still fighting fit. A Royal National Lifeboat Institution lifeguard must complete a 400m pool swim in under 7.5 minutes, and run 200m along the beach in under 40 seconds. The swimming fitness tests are still reasonably easy for Lewis. But a little hip trouble, the legacy of a rugby injury, can slow down his running. “I’ve been doing yoga to try to help with that”, he said. Lewis’s most memorable rescue took place in 2010 when a 16-year-old girl and her two younger brothers got into trouble while swimming off Durley Chine beach. On that day, the girl was being hurled into a groyne (防波堤), leaving her with nasty cuts. One of her brothers was hanging on to the groyne while the third child was being knocked around by the waves. Lewis swam out with a rescue tube and managed to get all three back to the beach. As he got out, everyone on the beach stood up and applauded. if Lewis does stop any time soon, there is someone else who may just break his record. His wife of 49 years, Elaine Lewis, 70, has been a lifeguard in Bournemouth for 50 years and still competes in lifeguard competitions. Their two children are lifeguards and their grandchildren are in training. 4 How long has Lewis been working as a RNLI lifeguard? A. 58 years. B. 49 years. C. 35 years. D. 24 years. 5.

The risks Lewis faces. D. The author’s attitude. C Kendall Griffith is a student at Bard College majoring in both the pipa, a four-stringed Chinese lute, and Asian studies. Born and raised in Boston, Griffith started her journey into Chinese culture nine years ago, when she began learning Chinese for its writing system and tones. While learning Chinese, she was captivated by traditional Chinese music in a drama she was watching. Griffith did some research and discovered that the instrument she was drawn to was the pipa. “I like the sound of the pipa, especially the techniques that are incorporated with it,” Griffith says, adding that her parents and friends have been very supportive of her learning Chinese traditional music. Griffith’s father helped her discover the instrument and she found her first pipa teacher who was part of the Boston Chinese Ensemble. Sometimes, after performances, people would tell her, “I’ve never seen a non-Chinese person play this before. That’s very cool.” Last semester, Griffith studied at the Central Conservatory of Music in Beijing. Learning the pipa in the city, where “Chinese music is happening”, Griffith felt pushed beyond her comfort zone and learned more about her passion. “There was an interesting lecture that talked about how most Chinese music emulates things in calligraphy. There’s a lot of empty space, and I can now incorporate that feeling into a lot of the music I play,” she says. “Chinese music also emulates nature in a way. The sound it makes can resemble a horse; you can visualize it. There are many techniques not seen in Western instruments, such as bending the strings or using your five fingers to create a tremolo. I enjoy telling my friends about it,” she says. Griffith’s friends, who were amazed by her impressions, started attending more Chinese music concerts, wanting to learn more. Diving into another culture through music makes Griffith value the culture more. She said, “When you learn about a different type of music, it makes you appreciate the culture more. It makes you realize how important it is to be open-minded. I feel more open-minded about why things are the way they are.” 8. How did Griffith begin to learn the pipa? A. Inspired by her Asian studies. B. Influenced by her friends. C. Attracted by its unique sound. D. Encouraged by her father. 9. What do some people think of Griffith’s pipa playing? A Amazing. B. Odd. C. Shocking. D. Curious. 10. Why does Griffith mention the calligraphy in Paragraph 6? A. To explain the Chinese writing system. B. To display its link with Chinese music. C. To show different forms of Chinese arts. D. To explore the origin of Chinese music. 11. What benefit does Griffith get from learning Chinese music? A. It has promoted her Chinese learning. B. It makes her abandon western music. C. It has developed her critical thinking. D. It makes her love Chinese culture more. D Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to develop more efficient methods of farming in order to fight global warming. Global warming threatens every aspect of our everyday lives, including crop production. It will reduce the soil moisture (水分), especially in areas close to the equator and greatly affect the crop production. Climate change harms poorer countries that do not have money to import food. The result is food shortage. However, agriculture is not just affected by global warming. Agriculture is part of a vicious cycle in which farming leads to global warming, which in turn destroys agricultural production. The process of clearing land for agriculture results in widespread deforestation and contributes to 40 percent of global methane (甲烷) production. Therefore, to deal with climate change, it is necessary to ensure efficient, environmentally-conscious farming. This is where AI enters the scene. Farmers use AI for methods such as precision agriculture, monitoring crop moisture, soil composition, and temperature in growing areas, and enabling farmers to increase production by learning how to take care of their crops and determine the ideal amount of water to use. Furthermore, this technology may help reduce deforestation by allowing humans to grow food in urban areas. It could be especially beneficial for countries in Latin America and the Caribbean, where much of the population lives in cities. However, AI is far from a silver bullet — it could actually contribute to global warming as well. Due to the large amount of data that AI needs to process, training a single AI releases five times the emissions that an average car would give off during its lifetime. Further, securing access to AI on a global scale may pose some challenges. Countries will need experts in the field who can successfully use the technology and Internet connection, neither of which are always readily available. Therefore, there is still a long way for developing countries to take advantage of the benefits of AI. Given these concerns, global leaders must consider the potential costs, and the environmental consequences of data processing before developing AI for use in agriculture. 12. What is the purpose of Paragraph 2? A. To advocate greener farming. B. To show the importance of forestation. C. To promote low-carbon living. D. To analyze impacts of global warming. 13. In which aspect can farmers apply Al in crop production? A. Reducing soil pollution. B. Precision farming. C. Solving the food problem. D. Expanding farmland. 14. What do the underlined words “silver bullet” mean in paragraph 4? A. A big fortune. B. A risky attempt. C. A costly method. D. A perfect solution. 15. What’s the author’s attitude to the use of Al in farming? A. Critical. B. Optimistic. C. Cautious. D. Confident. 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。 Throughout the summer there is nothing like getting to play outside in the warm weather.

Over the years, I found that children have many levels of musical ability though I have taught some talented students. One student I call “musically challenged” was Robby. Robby was 11 years old when his single mother sent him to my piano lessons. He did not have any inborn ability. He lacked the sense of tone and basic rhythm needed to excel. But he dutifully reviewed his scales (音节) and some elementary pieces that I required all my students to learn. At the end of each lesson he would always say, “My mom is going to hear me play some day.” Over the months, he tried and tried, but it seemed hopeless. Then one day, Robby stopped coming to our lessons. I thought about calling him but assumed, because of his lack of ability, that he had decided to pursue something else. Several weeks later, I mailed to the students’ homes a flyer on the upcoming recital (独奏会). To my surprise, Robby, who received a flyer, called and asked me if he could be in the recital. He said that his mom had been sick and he had to stay at home to look after her but he was still practicing. “Miss Hondorf... I’ve just got to play!” he insisted. Maybe it was his persistence or maybe it was something inside of me saying that it would be alright. The night for the recital came. The gymnasium was packed with parents, friends and relatives. The recital went off smoothly. The students had been practicing and it showed. Then Robby came up on stage. 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。 I was surprised when he started to play a Mozart’s Concerto. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ In tears, I ran up on stage and put my arms around Robby in joy. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力1—5 ABCCA 6—10 CBABC 11—15 ABBCB 16—20 BAACB 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2023～2024学年高二教学质量检测 英语 注意事项： 1．答题前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号等填写在答题卡和试卷指定位置上。 2．回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其它答案标号。回答非选择题时，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，并标在试卷的相应位置。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．What do the speakers decide to do?

Lewis, 74, began volunteering as a lifeguard at the age of 16. Over the years, he patrolled the beaches as a member of the Royal lifesaving Society, and in 2001, became part of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) lifeguard service when the charity began providing beach patrols for local authorities. “It’s the best job in the world,” Lewis said. “You’re working on the beach, which you love, and you’re helping people. What could be better?” Most of his colleagues are half his age, but he is still fighting fit. A Royal National Lifeboat Institution lifeguard must complete a 400m pool swim in under 7.5 minutes, and run 200m along the beach in under 40 seconds. The swimming fitness tests are still reasonably easy for Lewis. But a little hip trouble, the legacy of a rugby injury, can slow down his running. “I’ve been doing yoga to try to help with that”, he said. Lewis’s most memorable rescue took place in 2010 when a 16-year-old girl and her two younger brothers got into trouble while swimming off Durley Chine beach. On that day, the girl was being hurled into a groyne (防波堤), leaving her with nasty cuts. One of her brothers was hanging on to the groyne while the third child was being knocked around by the waves. Lewis swam out with a rescue tube and managed to get all three back to the beach. As he got out, everyone on the beach stood up and applauded. if Lewis does stop any time soon, there is someone else who may just break his record. His wife of 49 years, Elaine Lewis, 70, has been a lifeguard in Bournemouth for 50 years and still competes in lifeguard competitions. Their two children are lifeguards and their grandchildren are in training. 4. How long has Lewis been working as a RNLI lifeguard? A. 58 years. B. 49 years. C. 35 years. D. 24 years. 5. What made Lewis work so long? A. His interest in swimming. B. His colleagues’ challenge. C. His love for helping others. D. His desire to regain health. 6. Which of the following best describes Lewis’s job? A. Well-paid. B. Demanding. C. Creative. D. Exciting. 7. What is presented in Paragraph 4? A. A practical example. B. The social response. C. The risks Lewis faces. D. The author’s attitude. 【答案】4. D 5. C 6. B 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道，主要讲述了英国Bournemouth一位名叫Chris Lewis的救生员，在2024年被授予吉尼斯世界纪录中世界上服役时间最长的救生员称号的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Over the years, he patrolled the beaches as a member of the Royal lifesaving Society, and in 2001, became part of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) lifeguard service when the charity began providing beach patrols for local authorities.(多年来，他作为皇家救生协会的成员在海滩上巡逻，并于2001年成为RNLI救生员服务的一员，当时该慈善机构开始为地方当局提供海滩巡逻。)”和第一段“On a drizzly British spring day, the 2024 Guinness World Records held a ceremony in Bournemouth to award local lifeguard Chris Lewis the title of the world’s longest-serving lifeguard.(在英国一个细雨绵绵的春日，2024年吉尼斯世界纪录在Bournemouth举行了一场仪式，授予当地救生员Chris Lewis世界上服役时间最长的救生员称号。)”可知，Lewis在RNLI当救生员有24年了，故选D。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“You’re working on the beach, which you love, and you’re helping people.

Born and raised in Boston, Griffith started her journey into Chinese culture nine years ago, when she began learning Chinese for its writing system and tones. While learning Chinese, she was captivated by traditional Chinese music in a drama she was watching. Griffith did some research and discovered that the instrument she was drawn to was the pipa. “I like the sound of the pipa, especially the techniques that are incorporated with it,” Griffith says, adding that her parents and friends have been very supportive of her learning Chinese traditional music. Griffith’s father helped her discover the instrument and she found her first pipa teacher, who was part of the Boston Chinese Ensemble. Sometimes, after performances, people would tell her, “I’ve never seen a non-Chinese person play this before. That’s very cool.” Last semester, Griffith studied at the Central Conservatory of Music in Beijing. Learning the pipa in the city, where “Chinese music is happening”, Griffith felt pushed beyond her comfort zone and learned more about her passion. “There was an interesting lecture that talked about how most Chinese music emulates things in calligraphy. There’s a lot of empty space, and I can now incorporate that feeling into a lot of the music I play,” she says. “Chinese music also emulates nature in a way. The sound it makes can resemble a horse; you can visualize it. There are many techniques not seen in Western instruments, such as bending the strings or using your five fingers to create a tremolo. I enjoy telling my friends about it,” she says. Griffith’s friends, who were amazed by her impressions, started attending more Chinese music concerts, wanting to learn more. Diving into another culture through music makes Griffith value the culture more. She said, “When you learn about a different type of music, it makes you appreciate the culture more. It makes you realize how important it is to be open-minded. I feel more open-minded about why things are the way they are.” 8. How did Griffith begin to learn the pipa? A. Inspired by her Asian studies. B. Influenced by her friends. C. Attracted by its unique sound. D. Encouraged by her father. 9. What do some people think of Griffith’s pipa playing? A. Amazing. B. Odd. C. Shocking. D. Curious. 10. Why does Griffith mention the calligraphy in Paragraph 6? A. To explain the Chinese writing system. B. To display its link with Chinese music. C. To show different forms of Chinese arts. D. To explore the origin of Chinese music. 11. What benefit does Griffith get from learning Chinese music? A. It has promoted her Chinese learning. B. It makes her abandon western music. C. It has developed her critical thinking. D. It makes her love Chinese culture more. 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了Kendall Griffith，一位Bard College的学生，如何通过学习和演奏中国传统乐器琵琶，深入了解和体验中国文化的故事。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“I like the sound of the pipa, especially the techniques that are incorporated with it(我喜欢琵琶的声音，尤其是其中的技巧)”可知，Griffith被琵琶独特的声音吸引，所以才开始学习琵琶。故选C。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“I’ve never seen a non-Chinese person play this before. That’s very cool.(我从来没见过一个非中国人弹这个。这太酷了)”可知，有些人对Griffith的琵琶演奏的看法是觉得很了不起，故选A。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第六段“There was an interesting lecture that talked about how most Chinese music emulates things in calligraphy. There’s a lot of empty space, and I can now incorporate that feeling into a lot of the music I play(有一个有趣的讲座，讲的是大多数中国音乐是如何模仿书法的。有很多空白的空间，我现在可以把这种感觉融入到我演奏的很多音乐中)”可知，Griffith在第六段提到书法是为了显示其与中国音乐的联系。故选B。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Diving into another culture through music makes Griffith value the culture more.(通过音乐深入到另一种文化中，使Griffith更加重视这种文化)”可知，Griffith从学习中国音乐中得到的好处是这让她更加热爱中国文化。故选D。 D Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to develop more efficient methods of farming in order to fight global warming. Global warming threatens every aspect of our everyday lives, including crop production. It will reduce the soil moisture (水分), especially in areas close to the equator and greatly affect the crop production. Climate change harms poorer countries that do not have money to import food. The result is food shortage. However, agriculture is not just affected by global warming. Agriculture is part of a vicious cycle in which farming leads to global warming, which in turn destroys agricultural production. The process of clearing land for agriculture results in widespread deforestation and contributes to 40 percent of global methane (甲烷) production. Therefore, to deal with climate change, it is necessary to ensure efficient, environmentally-conscious farming. This is where AI enters the scene. Farmers use AI for methods such as precision agriculture, monitoring crop moisture, soil composition, and temperature in growing areas, and enabling farmers to increase production by learning how to take care of their crops and determine the ideal amount of water to use. Furthermore, this technology may help reduce deforestation by allowing humans to grow food in urban areas. It could be especially beneficial for countries in Latin America and the Caribbean, where much of the population lives in cities. However, AI is far from a silver bullet — it could actually contribute to global warming as well. Due to the large amount of data that AI needs to process, training a single AI releases five times the emissions that an average car would give off during its lifetime. Further, securing access to AI on a global scale may pose some challenges. Countries will need experts in the field who can successfully use the technology and Internet connection, neither of which are always readily available. Therefore, there is still a long way for developing countries to take advantage of the benefits of AI. Given these concerns, global leaders must consider the potential costs, and the environmental consequences of data processing before developing AI for use in agriculture. 12. What is the purpose of Paragraph 2? A. To advocate greener farming. B. To show the importance of forestation. C. To promote low-carbon living. D. To analyze impacts of global warming. 13. In which aspect can farmers apply Al in crop production? A. Reducing soil pollution. B. Precision farming. C. Solving the food problem. D. Expanding farmland. 14. What do the underlined words “silver bullet” mean in paragraph 4? A. A big fortune. B. A risky attempt. C. A costly method. D. A perfect solution. 15. What’s the author’s attitude to the use of Al in farming? A. Critical. B. Optimistic. C. Cautious. D. Confident. 【答案】12. A 13. B 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是人工智能（AI）在农业领域的潜在应用、优势以及面临的挑战，特别是在对抗全球变暖方面的作用。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Therefore, to deal with climate change, it is necessary to ensure efficient, environmentally-conscious farming.(因此，为了应对气候变化，有必要确保高效、环保的农业。)”可知，第二段的目的是提倡环保农业。故选A。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Farmers use AI for methods such as precision agriculture, monitoring crop moisture, soil composition, and temperature in growing areas, and enabling farmers to increase production by learning how to take care of their crops and determine the ideal amount of water to use.(农民将人工智能用于精准农业等方法，监测种植区的作物湿度、土壤成分和温度，并使农民能够通过学习如何照顾作物和确定理想的用水量来提高产量。)”可知，农民可以在精准农业方面应用AI。故选B。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据倒数第二段中划线部分下文“it could actually contribute to global warming as well(它实际上也可能导致全球变暖)”可知，AI可能也会导致全球变暖，因此它也不是完美的；“ However, AI is far from a silver bullet(然而，人工智能远不是silver bullet)”中的silver bullet的意思是“完美的解决办法”，和a perfect solution意思相近。故选D。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“However, AI is far from a silver bullet—it could actually contribute to global warming as well.(然而，人工智能远不是灵丹妙药——它实际上也可能导致全球变暖。)”，“Further, securing access to AI on a global scale may pose some challenges.(此外，确保在全球范围内获得人工智能可能会带来一些挑战。)”和最后一段“Given these concerns, global leaders must consider the potential costs, and the environmental consequences of data processing before developing AI for use in agriculture.(鉴于这些担忧，全球领导人在开发用于农业的人工智能之前，必须考虑数据处理的潜在成本和环境后果。)”可知，作者对人工智能在农业中的应用持谨慎的态度。故选C。 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。 Throughout the summer there is nothing like getting to play outside in the warm weather.

Over the years, I found that children have many levels of musical ability though I have taught some talented students. One student I call “musically challenged” was Robby. Robby was 11 years old when his single mother sent him to my piano lessons. He did not have any inborn ability. He lacked the sense of tone and basic rhythm needed to excel. But he dutifully reviewed his scales (音节) and some elementary pieces that I required all my students to learn. At the end of each lesson he would always say, “My mom is going to hear me play some day.” Over the months, he tried and tried, but it seemed hopeless. Then one day, Robby stopped coming to our lessons. I thought about calling him but assumed, because of his lack of ability, that he had decided to pursue something else. Several weeks later, I mailed to the students’ homes a flyer on the upcoming recital (独奏会). To my surprise, Robby, who received a flyer, called and asked me if he could be in the recital. He said that his mom had been sick and he had to stay at home to look after her but he was still practicing. “Miss Hondorf... I’ve just got to play!” he insisted. Maybe it was his persistence or maybe it was something inside of me saying that it would be alright. The night for the recital came. The gymnasium was packed with parents, friends and relatives. The recital went off smoothly. The students had been practicing and it showed. Then Robby came up on stage. 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。 I was surprised when he started to play a Mozart’s Concerto. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ In tears I ran up on stage and put my arms around Robby in joy. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 I was surprised when he started to play Mozart’s Concerto flawlessly. The notes flowed with precision, and his expression conveyed a depth of emotion unexpected from someone like Robby. As he played, it was evident that his dedication and hard work had transformed him into a confident and competent pianist. The audience was captivated by his performance, their applause resounding throughout the gymnasium. In tears, I ran up on stage and put my arms around Robby in joy. I was overwhelmed by the pride for this determined young boy who had defied all odds to deliver such a beautiful performance. Robby’s shining moment not only touched the hearts of those present but also served as a reminder of the power of perseverance and the transformative nature of music. In that precious moment, Robby taught us all a valuable lesson about the limitless potential that lies within each of us when we believe in ourselves and never give up. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。钢琴老师Mildred Hondorf回溯了她的一个学生Robby的故事。Robby音乐天赋平平，但他坚持学习，总说希望母亲能听他演奏。突然他缺课了，老师以为他放弃了。然而，在收到音乐会通知后，Robby恳求参加，尽管他因照顾生病的母亲而缺课，但仍坚持练习。音乐会当晚，Robby登台，全场满是期待的观众。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段句首内容“当他开始完美地演奏莫扎特的协奏曲时，我感到很惊讶。”可知，第一段可以描写Robby演奏时的表现和最终观众的表现。 ②由第二段句首内容“我流着泪跑上舞台，高兴地搂住罗比。”可知，第二段可以描写作者的感悟。 2.续写线索：感到惊讶—被表演迷住—跑上舞台—感悟 3词汇激活 行为类 ①表达：convey/express ②充当：serve as/act as ③放弃：give up/abandon 情绪类 ①坚决的：determined /resolute ②被骄傲淹没：be overwhelmed by the pride/be submerged by the pride 【点睛】【高分句型1】As he played, it was evident that his dedication and hard work had transformed him into a confident and competent pianist.
