The Museum of the Future Dubai is an exhibition space focusing on future technologies, innovative(创新的) services, and products. The Museum founded by the Dubai Future Foundation has three main features: green hill, building and space. The goal of the Museum is to push technological development, especially in the robotics and artificial intelligence fields. The museum has held several exhibitions since its opening in 2016. One of the impressive exhibition themes held in 2017 was “Climate Change Re-imagined: Dubai 2050”, which adopted a theme set in 2050 exploring how human beings could applaud and accept innovations despite global warming and climate change. The Museum of the Future was designed by Killa Design architecture studio which aims to show its level of environmental friendliness in real estate. The outside of the building has windows forming an Arabic poem by Dubai’s ruler about the Emirate’s future. The words written on the Museum frontage(正面) are three quotes from Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the United Arab Emirates. The Museum is suitable for the entire family. You will witness the biodiversity of the rainforest, helping you discover new species. Future Heroes is an area only for kids, encouraging young citizens to imagine, design, and build through creativity activities. Come, prepare for a journey into the future by checking out the Museum of the Future. It is a cross-bridge between the past and the future and a great experience for all ages. 1 Why was the Museum built? A. To highlight Dubai’s culture. B. To promote developing technology. C. To invent domestic robots. D. To advertise for artificial intelligence. 2 What do we know about Killa Design architecture studio? A. It is intended for kids. B.

B It’s one of the biggest challenges in higher education today: What do you do with the nearly one in five working-age adults who have some college experience, but no degree? Sokeo Ros was one of them. “I just hated community college,” he says. “I made up my mind: I’m never going back to school. I have all these debts, and I don’t want to waste my time.” Ros,34, was born in Thailand. He dropped out of two colleges, switching majors several times. Meanwhile, he taught dance in Providence, R. I., struggling to raise his daughter. But in 2012, he found College Unbound that accepts adults, like Ros. College Unbound is the creation of educator Dennis Littky. He is devoted to helping adults make their own path to a degree through College Unbound. Nearly all the students can get scholarship. They are paired one-on-one with advisers who help them make a plan that combines a job with online classes and independent research. Students create online works and show their live exhibitions. Right now, College Unbound has about 75 students. It makes a great effort to keep the total cost per student under $10,000 per year. So far, the approach seems to be working:85 percent of its students have returned for a second year;60 percent of graduates take less than two years to complete their bachelor’s degrees. And nearly nine of 10 College Unbound alumni (校友) are employed full-time. Littky says College Unbound’s goal is to create a new learning experience giving students more than just job training or qualifications. At last it lets adults understand lifelong learning is important for them. Sokeo Ros experienced that. “At first, I just wanted to get a degree. But I kind of fell in love with the idea that learning is a lifelong experience.” 4. What do we know about Sokeo Ros? A. He always wants to continue his study. B. He didn’t like the life at community college. C. He was once a popular dance teacher. D. He graduated from his community college. 5. How does College Unbound help adults? A. By looking for jobs suitable for adults. B. By designing classes different from others. C. By teaching adults for free online. D. By offering professional guidance. 6. What is the aim of College Unbound? A. To advise adults to attend the college. B. To create a new study experience beyond career training. C. To improve adults’ competitive ability in the society. D. To expect adults to get their bachelor’s degrees timely. 7. What’s Sokeo Ros’ attitude towards College Unbound at last? A. Supportive. B. Disappointed. C. Indifferent. D. Worried. C Last year, I baked biscuits for complete strangers to say “thank you”. I’d had to call 999 because I found my husband unconscious on the floor. Within minutes, a police car arrived and soon my husband received medical care in hospital. A week later, when I dropped off still-warm biscuits and presented a thank-you note at the police station, the policemen thanked me for delivering gifts. I drove away feeling light and happy. Later, I realized that my natural high might have been more than it seemed. Research has shown that sharing gratitude has positive effects on health. People who express gratitude will increase their happiness levels, lower their blood pressure and get better sleep. What about people who receive gratitude? Research has confirmed that when people receive thanks, they experience positive emotions. “Those are happy surprises,” says Jo-Ann Tsang, a professor of psychology. When someone is thanked, he's more likely to return the favouror pass kindness on, and his chances of being helpful again doubles, probably because he enjoys feeling socially valued. The give-and-take of gratitude also deepens relationships. Studies show that when your loved ones regularly express gratitude, making you feel appreciated, you're more likely to return appreciative feelings, which leads to more satisfactory in your relationships. Nowadays, however, many people don't express gratitude. Our modern lifestyle may be to blame. With commercial and social media, everything is speeding the younger generation to feel they're the centre of the world. If it's all about them, why thank others? Why not thank others? Just take a look at how many positive effects can saying "thank you" have on personal health — and the well-being of others. If you aren't particularly grateful, I strongly suggest you learn to be. People who are instructed to keep gratitude journals, in which they write down positive things that happen to them, cultivate (培养) gratitude over time. 8. What’s the purpose of mentioning the author's own experience? A. To make readers excited. B. To introduce the topic of the text. C. To share the way to bake biscuits. D. To sing high praise for the policemen. 9. What benefit can people gain from expressing gratitude according to the text? A. They will sleep longer. B. Their blood pressure may be lowered. C. They will be more beautiful. D. Their level of production is increased. 10. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about? A. The ways to return the favour. B. The chances of being helpful again. C. The positive emotions when expressing gratitude. D. People’s feelings and reaction after being thanked. 11. What can we learn from the text? A. Writing gratitude diaries is a good way to cultivate gratitude. B. Social media is the key reason why we forget gratitude. C. Modern lifestyle have no effect on expressing gratitude. D. All the younger generation feel they're the centre of the world. D Some people often wonder whether they are fighting a battle with their genes to maintain a healthy weight. In fact, researchers have provided plenty of evidence that people are born with tendencies to be lighter or heavier. For example, studies of identical twins have revealed great similarity in their overall weight. Part of this similarity may be explained by the finding that some people are born to burn a lot of calories just through ordinary day-to-day activities while others are not. Those who are not are more at risk for weight gain. Researchers have discovered some of the actual genetic mechanisms (机制) that may make some individuals more likely to be obese. For example, a gene has been found that appears to control signals to the brain that enough fat has been stored in the body in the course of a meal — so the individual should stop eating. The gene influences the production of leptin (瘦蛋白), which keeps appetite under control. If leptin doesn’t work well, it is likely that individuals will continue to eat. Thus the gene that controls leptin appears to have a critical influence on the potential for obesity. The confirmation that leptin plays a role in weight control has encouraged researchers to identify and understand other weight-related genes. Recent attention has focused on a gene called GAD2. GAD2 helps control the amount of the neurotransmitter (神经递质) GABA. In general, when more GABA is available, appetite is increased. For that reason, people who have a form of GAD2 that allows more GABA to be available may be at risk for overeating. You can see that GAD2 is not directly an obesity gene. Rather it has an indirect influence on obesity through its direct influence on GABA. Genetic research holds out the promise of innovative solutions to obesity. Researchers hope that an understanding of the link between genes and weight control will enable them to provide new drug treatments. Nonetheless, even the most optimistic researchers provide a warning: “Innovative drugs will be effective only when they are used along with lifestyle changes.” 12. How does the author develop Paragraph 1? A. By giving an example. B. By making an assumption. C. By asking questions. D. By reasoning and analyzing. 13. What does the underlined word “obese” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Powerful. B. Fat. C. Active. D. Outgoing. 14. What do researchers suggest doing in the last paragraph? A. Taking new drugs. B. Understanding genetic effects. C. Keeping a healthy lifestyle. D. Trying to adjust GAD2. 15. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. The Sorts of Genus Helping You Keep Thin B. The Reason Why You Become Too Heavy C. How Does Genetics Contribute to Obesity? D. What Influence Does Food Have on Weight? 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 Limit Your Environmental Impact While Travelling Travelling unlocks a world of endless possibilities and adventures, allowing us to hike through breathtaking landscapes, encounter kangaroos and deer in their natural habitat, and witness the power of volcanoes.

Stevie did his best to ignore the others. “”Settled own!”Mr Taylor said. “We’ll be there soon. Wait till you see the climbing walls. You’ll be very happy.” Stevie hadn’t liked this “Boys Rulz” club from the start. They were troublemakers. Mom had made him join because she was worried that he didn’t seem to be fitting in. It was n this fault, thought Stevie, school was boring. None of the teachers trusted him, and no special boy’s group was to change that. All the boys stared up in wonder at the huge climbing walls. Stevie looked down at his thin arms and wondered how he could climb up that. Mr Taylor and a man called Rick helped the boys get into their harnesses (保护带) and showed them how to climb up. “Now find a partner and get them to check all your straps (带子) and everything,” said Mr Taylor. The boys quickly paired off, leaving Stevie standing there alone. “Cool, you’re with me,” said Rick, holding up his hand for a high-five. Stevie high-five d him back weakly. Stevie was on a tiny wall which the others had called the “baby wall”. He gritted his teeth (咬紧牙关), his face pressed against the rough surface and reached for the next, hold. “Done!” he called down from the top. “Now let go of the rock and walk down as I showed you,” said Rick. “It’s perfectly safe.” Stevie did as instructed, and Rick started to let him down slowly. “Well done,” said Rick when Stevie got to the bottom. Then someone pointed out that Mr Taylor hadn’t done any climbing himself.” I plan to, “said Mr Taylor.” But I’ll need a partner, someone I can really trust. “The boys volunteered actively, but Mr Taylor pretended he hadn’t heard. He looked around the group. “How about you, Stevie?” he said at last. “Fancy being my belayer?” A be layer is somebody who controls how you come down, the one that stops you from falling. 要求： 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。 Stevie looked up, greatly surprised. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “Ready to let me down?” Mr Taylor called down to Stevie. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 河池市 2024年春季学期高二期末学业水平质量检测 英语 全卷满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 注意事项： 1.答题前，先将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在试卷和答题卡上，并将条形码粘贴在答题卡上的指定位置。 2.请按题号顺序在答题卡上各题目的答题区域内作答，写在试卷、草稿纸和答题卡上的非答题区域均无效。 3.选择题用2B铅笔在答题卡上把所选答案的标号涂黑；非选择题用黑色签字笔在答题卡上作答；字体工整，笔迹清楚。 4.考试结束后，请将答题卡上交。 5.本卷主要考查内容：外研版选择性必修第三册～选择性必修第四册。 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。 例： How much is the shirt?

Sokeo Ros was one of them. “I just hated community college,” he says. “I made up my mind: I’m never going back to school. I have all these debts, and I don’t want to waste my time.” Ros,34, was born in Thailand. He dropped out of two colleges, switching majors several times. Meanwhile, he taught dance in Providence, R. I., struggling to raise his daughter. But in 2012, he found College Unbound that accepts adults, like Ros. College Unbound is the creation of educator Dennis Littky. He is devoted to helping adults make their own path to a degree through College Unbound. Nearly all the students can get scholarship. They are paired one-on-one with advisers who help them make a plan that combines a job with online classes and independent research. Students create online works and show their live exhibitions. Right now, College Unbound has about 75 students. It makes a great effort to keep the total cost per student under $10,000 per year. So far, the approach seems to be working:85 percent of its students have returned for a second year;60 percent of graduates take less than two years to complete their bachelor’s degrees. And nearly nine of 10 College Unbound alumni (校友) are employed full-time. Littky says College Unbound’s goal is to create a new learning experience giving students more than just job training or qualifications. At last it lets adults understand lifelong learning is important for them. Sokeo Ros experienced that. “At first, I just wanted to get a degree. But I kind of fell in love with the idea that learning is a lifelong experience.” 4. What do we know about Sokeo Ros? A. He always wants to continue his study. B. He didn’t like the life at community college. C. He was once a popular dance teacher. D. He graduated from his community college. 5. How does College Unbound help adults? A. By looking for jobs suitable for adults. B. By designing classes different from others. C. By teaching adults for free online. D. By offering professional guidance. 6. What is the aim of College Unbound? A. To advise adults to attend the college. B. To create a new study experience beyond career training. C. To improve adults’ competitive ability in the society. D. To expect adults to get their bachelor’s degrees timely. 7. What’s Sokeo Ros’ attitude towards College Unbound at last? A. Supportive. B. Disappointed. C. Indifferent. D. Worried. 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. B 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。通过Sokeo Ros的故事，讲述了College Unbound这一教育创新模式。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中““I just hated community college,” he says. “I made up my mind: I’m never going back to school.

I’d had to call 999 because I found my husband unconscious on the floor. Within minutes, a police car arrived and soon my husband received medical care in hospital. A week later, when I dropped off still-warm biscuits and presented a thank-you note at the police station, the policemen thanked me for delivering gifts. I drove away feeling light and happy. Later, I realized that my natural high might have been more than it seemed. Research has shown that sharing gratitude has positive effects on health. People who express gratitude will increase their happiness levels, lower their blood pressure and get better sleep. What about people who receive gratitude? Research has confirmed that when people receive thanks, they experience positive emotions. “Those are happy surprises,” says Jo-Ann Tsang, a professor of psychology. When someone is thanked, he's more likely to return the favouror pass kindness on, and his chances of being helpful again doubles, probably because he enjoys feeling socially valued. The give-and-take of gratitude also deepens relationships. Studies show that when your loved ones regularly express gratitude, making you feel appreciated, you're more likely to return appreciative feelings, which leads to more satisfactory in your relationships. Nowadays, however, many people don't express gratitude. Our modern lifestyle may be to blame. With commercial and social media, everything is speeding the younger generation to feel they're the centre of the world. If it's all about them, why thank others? Why not thank others? Just take a look at how many positive effects can saying "thank you" have on personal health — and the well-being of others. If you aren't particularly grateful, I strongly suggest you learn to be. People who are instructed to keep gratitude journals, in which they write down positive things that happen to them, cultivate (培养) gratitude over time. 8. What’s the purpose of mentioning the author's own experience? A. To make readers excited. B. To introduce the topic of the text. C. To share the way to bake biscuits. D. To sing high praise for the policemen. 9. What benefit can people gain from expressing gratitude according to the text? A. They will sleep longer. B. Their blood pressure may be lowered. C. They will be more beautiful. D. Their level of production is increased. 10. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about? A. The ways to return the favour. B. The chances of being helpful again. C. The positive emotions when expressing gratitude. D. People’s feelings and reaction after being thanked. 11. What can we learn from the text? A. Writing gratitude diaries is a good way to cultivate gratitude. B. Social media is the key reason why we forget gratitude. C. Modern lifestyle have no effect on expressing gratitude. D. All the younger generation feel they're the centre of the world. 【答案】8. B 9. B 10. D 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍作者感恩的经历并说明了感恩给人带来很多好处。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“I drove away feeling light and happy.

In fact, researchers have provided plenty of evidence that people are born with tendencies to be lighter or heavier. For example, studies of identical twins have revealed great similarity in their overall weight. Part of this similarity may be explained by the finding that some people are born to burn a lot of calories just through ordinary day-to-day activities while others are not. Those who are not are more at risk for weight gain. Researchers have discovered some of the actual genetic mechanisms (机制) that may make some individuals more likely to be obese. For example, a gene has been found that appears to control signals to the brain that enough fat has been stored in the body in the course of a meal — so the individual should stop eating. The gene influences the production of leptin (瘦蛋白), which keeps appetite under control. If leptin doesn’t work well, it is likely that individuals will continue to eat. Thus the gene that controls leptin appears to have a critical influence on the potential for obesity. The confirmation that leptin plays a role in weight control has encouraged researchers to identify and understand other weight-related genes. Recent attention has focused on a gene called GAD2. GAD2 helps control the amount of the neurotransmitter (神经递质) GABA. In general, when more GABA is available, appetite is increased. For that reason, people who have a form of GAD2 that allows more GABA to be available may be at risk for overeating. You can see that GAD2 is not directly an obesity gene. Rather it has an indirect influence on obesity through its direct influence on GABA. Genetic research holds out the promise of innovative solutions to obesity. Researchers hope that an understanding of the link between genes and weight control will enable them to provide new drug treatments. Nonetheless, even the most optimistic researchers provide a warning: “Innovative drugs will be effective only when they are used along with lifestyle changes.” 12. How does the author develop Paragraph 1? A. By giving an example. B. By making an assumption. C. By asking questions. D. By reasoning and analyzing. 13. What does the underlined word “obese” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Powerful. B. Fat. C. Active. D. Outgoing. 14. What do researchers suggest doing in the last paragraph? A. Taking new drugs. B. Understanding genetic effects. C. Keeping a healthy lifestyle. D. Trying to adjust GAD2. 15. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. The Sorts of Genus Helping You Keep Thin B. The Reason Why You Become Too Heavy C. How Does Genetics Contribute to Obesity? D. What Influence Does Food Have on Weight? 【答案】12. A 13. B 14. C 15. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要讲的是研究人员发现了一些可能使某些人更容易肥胖的实际遗传机制。 12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Some people often wonder whether they are fighting a battle with their genes to maintain a healthy weight. In fact, researchers have provided plenty of evidence that people are born with tendencies to be lighter or heavier. For example, studies of identical twins have revealed great similarity in their overall weight. Part of this similarity may be explained by the finding that some people are born to burn a lot of calories just through ordinary day-to-day activities while others are not. Those who are not are more at risk for weight gain.(有些人常常想知道，他们是否在与自己的基因进行一场战斗，以保持健康的体重。事实上，研究人员已经提供了大量证据，证明人们天生就有更轻或更重的倾向。例如，对同卵双胞胎的研究表明，他们的总体体重非常相似。研究发现，有些人天生就能通过日常活动燃烧大量卡路里，而另一些人则不然，这可以部分解释这种相似性。那些不这样做的人体重增加的风险更大)”可知，作者举例说明展开第一段。故选A。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段“For example, a gene has been found that appears to control signals to the brain that enough fat has been stored in the body in the course of a meal—so the individual should stop eating.

Stevie did his best to ignore the others. “”Settled own!”Mr Taylor said. “We’ll be there soon. Wait till you see the climbing walls. You’ll be very happy.” Stevie hadn’t liked this “Boys Rulz” club from the start. They were troublemakers. Mom had made him join because she was worried that he didn’t seem to be fitting in. It was n this fault, thought Stevie, school was boring. None of the teachers trusted him, and no special boy’s group was to change that. All the boys stared up in wonder at the huge climbing walls. Stevie looked down at his thin arms and wondered how he could climb up that. Mr Taylor and a man called Rick helped the boys get into their harnesses (保护带) and showed them how to climb up. “Now find a partner and get them to check all your straps (带子) and everything,” said Mr Taylor. The boys quickly paired off, leaving Stevie standing there alone. “Cool, you’re with me,” said Rick, holding up his hand for a high-five. Stevie high-five d him back weakly. Stevie was on a tiny wall which the others had called the “baby wall”. He gritted his teeth (咬紧牙关), his face pressed against the rough surface and reached for the next, hold. “Done!” he called down from the top. “Now let go of the rock and walk down as I showed you,” said Rick. “It’s perfectly safe.” Stevie did as instructed, and Rick started to let him down slowly. “Well done,” said Rick when Stevie got to the bottom. Then someone pointed out that Mr Taylor hadn’t done any climbing himself.” I plan to, “said Mr Taylor.” But I’ll need a partner, someone I can really trust. “The boys volunteered actively, but Mr Taylor pretended he hadn’t heard. He looked around the group. “How about you, Stevie?” he said at last. “Fancy being my belayer?” A be layer is somebody who controls how you come down, the one that stops you from falling. 要求： 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。 Stevie looked up, greatly surprised. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “Ready to let me down?” Mr Taylor called down to Stevie. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Stevie looked up, greatly surprised. He thought he’d been invisible. “I’m not so sure,” he smiled weakly. But Mr Taylor came up to him, patted him on the arm firmly and, before he could refuse, said “Let’s do it.” The boys gathered around. Then Stevie and Mr Taylor checked each other’s straps—the way they had been taught. With everything ready, Mr Taylor began to make his way up. Watching carefully as the teacher climbed, Stevie could feel his heart pounding fast and his palms sweating. Finally, Mr Taylor reached the top, and the whole place burst into cheering. “Ready to let me down?” Mr Taylor called down to Stevie. Stevie took a deep breath and reviewed what Rick had taught them about how to use the belaying device. At last, he looked up and said loudly, “OK!” Then the teacher let go of the wall and began to walk down. Stevie let the rope slip through his hands bit-by-bit cautiously and watched the teacher’s movement closely. He was so nervous that he could even hear his heart beating fast. Luckily, things went smoothly! Hearing the teacher say “You’re really trustworthy!”, Stevie smiled with relaxation and great joy. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索，文章讲述了斯蒂维在学校的“男孩规则”俱乐部中感到格格不入，这个俱乐部的成员常惹麻烦，而他是被妈妈要求加入以期能更好地融入集体。在学校巴士上，男孩们对即将到来的攀岩活动兴奋不已，斯蒂维却因自己瘦弱的体格感到不安。到达攀岩地点后，在里克的帮助下，斯蒂维克服了内心的恐惧，成功完成了攀爬。之后，当泰勒先生需要一个可以信赖的搭档进行攀岩时，他选择了斯蒂维作为自己的保护者。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句“斯蒂维抬起头来，非常惊讶。”可知，本段可描写泰勒先生开始攀登，斯蒂维紧张而专注地监护，最终，泰勒先生成功登顶，赢得了全场的欢呼。 ②由第二段首句““准备好让我下去了吗？”泰勒先生对史蒂维喊道。”可知， 本段可描写斯蒂维成功地承担起保护者角色，运用所学技能帮助泰勒先生安全降落。泰勒先生的赞扬了他，让他在自信心与责任感上有所成长。 2.续写线索：惊讶——密切关注——成功登顶——全场欢呼——准备降落——承担保护者的角色——安全降落——自信心与责任感上得到成长 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①微弱地微笑：smile weakly/offer a faint smil ②用力拍他的胳膊：pat him on the arm firmly/give him a strong pat on the arm ③深呼吸：take a deep breath/inhale deeply 情绪类 ①紧张的：nervous/tense ②快乐：joy/delight 【点睛】【高分句型1】Watching carefully as the teacher climbed, Stevie could feel his heart pounding fast and his palms sweating. （运用了as引导的时间状语从句） 【高分句型2】He was so nervous that he could even hear his heart beating fast.（运用了so…that…引导的结果状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
