2023—2024学年度下学期期末 高二英语 时间：120分钟 满分：150分 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分)（略） 第二部分 阅读(共两节，满分50分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A The World’s 4 Best Long-distance Hikes Several new long-distance, multi-day hikes have been launched that promise visitors unique access to previously inaccessible areas, where natural landscapes and local cultures are found. Juliana Trail Slovenia introduced the Juliana Trail in an attempt to get visitors to stay there longer and visit more. The 270km route begins at the adventure center of Kranjska Gora, near the Italian border, before circling around the Julian Alps past turquoise rivers and glacier-carved lakes. The trail is divided into 16 stages, so you can choose a shorter adventure or tackle the entire trail. Red Sea Mountain Trail Mainland Egypt’s first long-distance hiking path, the Red Sea Mountain Trail links a series of ancient trade routes into a single 170km circuit that takes an average of 10 days to complete. Hikes brave enough to set off into this remote wilderness will skirt vast plain, dip into deep gorges and summit barren peaks to visit ruined Roman towns and prehistoric rock art. Paparoa Track The 55km Paparoa Track in New Zealand snakes into the rainforests of the South Island near the famous Pancake Rocks. The freshly carved trail typically takes three days on foot, or two days on a mountain bike. Along the way, you pass river gorges and hilltop lookouts with expansive views over the turquoise Tasman Sea. Liechtenstein Trail Liechtenstein celebrated its 300th birthday in 2019 by crafting a 75km walking path where citizens and visitors alike could explore three centuries of local history. The Liechtenstein Trail twists over peaks and pastures on a route that takes in 147 sites. The zigzagging north-south route takes about three days to complete. 1. Why did Slovenia launch the Juliana Trail? A. To show the beauty of the Italian border. B. To attract tourists to visit Slovenia more. C. To protect the environment of the Julian Alps. D. To promote the development of local economy. 2. Which is the shortest trail? A. Juliana Trail. B. Paparoa Track. C. Liechtenstein Trail. D. Red Sea Mountain Trail. 3. What is special about Liechtenstein Trail? A. It offers a window into local history. B. Visitors have access to prehistoric rock art. C. Hikers can ride a mountain bike on the trail. D. It takes visitors through fascinating valleys. B Spiders are master builders, expertly turning silk into complex 3D webs that serve as their home and hunting ground. To gain a deeper understanding of their world, scientists have translated the structure of a spider’s web into music. “The spider lives in an environment of vibrating (振动的) strings,” says Markus Buehler, the project’s principal investigator. “They don’t see very well, so they perceive their surroundings by detecting vibrations, which have different frequencies.” Such vibrations occur, for example, when the spider stretches a strand of silk during construction or when the wind or a trapped fly moves the web. The researchers scanned a natural spider web to capture 2D cross-sections and reconstructed its 3D network using a mathematical model. They assigned different frequencies of sound to strands of the web, creating musical “notes” that they combined in patterns based on the web’s 3D structure to generate music. Then they made a harp-like (像竖琴的) virtual instrument and played the spider web music in several live performances around the world, creating an inspiring harmony of art and science. To gain insights into how spiders build webs, the researchers also scanned a web during construction, transforming each stage into music with different sounds. “The spider’s way of ‘printing’ the web is remarkable because no support material is used, as is often needed in current 3D printing methods,” Buehler says. This knowledge could help develop new 3D printers that work like spiders, enabling them to construct complex structures without using additional materials for support. The team is also interested in learning how to communicate with spiders in their own language. They recorded web vibrations produced when spiders performed different activities, such as building a web, communicating with other spiders or sending signals to admirers. “Now we’re trying to generate signals to basically speak the language of the spider,” Buehler says. “If we expose them to certain patterns of vibrations, can we affect what they do or can we begin to communicate with them? Those are really thrilling ideas, and I believe they could be achieved in the near future.” 4. What do we know about spiders? A. They have good eyesight. B. They adapt to surroundings quickly. C. They spin a web similar to a musical structure. D. They sense the environment through vibrations. 5. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. Steps to create spider web music. B. Ways to recreate a web’s 3D network. C. Challenges of combining music with science. D. The potential applications of 3D printing methods. 6. What do the underlined words “This knowledge” in paragraph 4 refer to? A. 3D printers can construct complex structures. B. Spiders’ vibration patterns vary with activities. C. Spiders build webs without using additional materials. D. The web-building process can be translated into music. 7. What is Buehler’ attitude towards communicating with spiders? A. Hopeful. B. Doubtful. C. Uncertain. D. Disapproving. C High employment, falling inflation (通货膨胀), and economic growth. On the surface, the US economy currently seems to be doing great. But as it turns out, things are not so rosy for the average American. According to a March 6 survey conducted by the Savings website, 47 percent of US parents provide financial support to their adult children to help deal with the cost of living struggles. Gen Zers (aged 18 — 27) were found to be the most likely generation to get financial help from their parents, receiving on average 1,515 dollars per month. Still, many older parents were found to support their Millennial (aged 28 — 43) or Generation X (aged 44 — 59) adult children, accounting for 21 percent of parents providing support. The most common expenses mentioned were groceries and health insurance. But why are so many US adults, both young and old, struggling to “leave the nest”? One major reason is food prices. According to a survey, food prices are expected to increase by nearly 2.5 percent in 2024. Meanwhile, stable housing remains an elusive dream for many. The average rate for a 30-year mortgage (抵押贷款) was almost 8 percent in 2023, which means many Americans are priced out of affording their own home. The final piece of the puzzle is falling salaries. Previous generations were able to count on graduating from college as the key to landing a job that paid well. But now, young graduates have found they earn less than their parents. College graduate salaries have decreased more than 10 percent in four decades after adjusting for inflation. In other words, steadily declining salaries make it even harder for young Americans to cope with rising costs. As Gen Zers in the US struggle under financial pressures, so do the older generations supporting them, as their sharing puts their retirement at risk. The Savings website discovered that working parents were found to contribute “2.4 times more to support adult children than they contribute to their retirement accounts each month”. Essentially, while the US economy remains afloat, we will witness multiple generations of Americans sinking in their own lifeboats in the years ahead. 8. What did the March 6 survey find out about adult children in the US? A. Nearly half of them are financially dependent. B. Over half of Gen Zers are financially struggling. C. 21 percent of Generation X receive parental help. D. A majority of them rely on their parents for education. 9. What does the underlined word “elusive” in paragraph 4 most probably mean? A. Readily accessible. B. Difficult to achieve. C. Often misunderstood. D. Commonly sought after. 10. What can be inferred from the article about people in the US? A. Graduates’ financial struggles are temporary. B. Government policies favor older generations. C. Salaries for graduates tend to keep up with inflation. D. Financial pressures affect both the young and the old. 11. What is the author’s attitude toward the future of Americans? A. Negative. B. Optimistic. C. Ambiguous. D. Indifferent. 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 World Environment Day, celebrated annually on June 5th, is a global event that encourages action for the protection of our environment.

Mrs. Virginia DeView cleared her throat and asked us to be quiet. “Now,” she said smiling, “we are going to discover our professions.” The class seemed to gasp(喘气) in chorus. Our professions? We stared at each other in disbelief. After all, we were only 13 and 14 years old. Because Virginia DeView was demanding, most of us just overlooked her brilliance. “Yes, you will all be searching for your future professions,” she said with a glow on her face as though this was the best thing she did in her classroom every year. “You will have to do a research paper on your upcoming career. Each of you will have to interview someone in your field, plus give an oral report.” All of us went home confused. Who knows what they want to do at 13? I had narrowed it down, however. I liked art, singing and writing. But I was terrible in art, and when I sang, my sisters screamed: “Oh, please shut up.” The only thing left was writing. Every day in her class, Virginia DeView monitored us. Where were we? Who had picked their careers? Finally, most of us had selected something: I picked print journalism（新闻工作）. This meant I had to interview a devoted newspaper reporter in person, and I was terrified. Sensing this, for the next 90 minutes, Mrs. Virginia DeView filled me with stories about print journalism… A few days later, I gave my oral report totally from memory. Surprisingly, I got an A on the entire project. Years later, I forgot all about Virginia DeView and the careers we selected. I was in college hunting for a new career. My father wanted me in business, which seemed to be sound advice at the time, except that I had no sense of any business skills. Then I remembered Virginia DeView and my desire at 13 to be a journalist. 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。 Paragraph 1: I called my father. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Now I've had the most incredible and satisfying reporting career. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2023—2024学年度下学期期末 高二英语 时间：120分钟 满分：150分 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分)（略） 第二部分 阅读(共两节，满分50分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A The World’s 4 Best Long-distance Hikes Several new long-distance, multi-day hikes have been launched that promise visitors unique access to previously inaccessible areas, where natural landscapes and local cultures are found.

Meanwhile, stable housing remains an elusive dream for many. The average rate for a 30-year mortgage was almost 8 percent in 2023, which means many Americans are priced out of affording their own home.(。根据一项调查，2024年食品价格预计将上涨近2.5%。与此同时，稳定的住房仍然是许多人……的梦想。2023年，30年期抵押贷款的平均利率接近8%，这意味着许多美国人负担不起自己的房子。) ”可知，许多美国人负担不起自己的房子，由此可推知，稳定的住房仍是许多人难以实现的梦想，由此则划线词意为：很难实现的。故选B。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的“As Gen Zers in the US struggle under financial pressures, so do the older generations supporting them, as their sharing puts their retirement at risk. The Savings website discovered that working parents were found to contribute“2.4 times more to support adult children than they contribute to their retirement accounts each month”.(当美国的Z世代在财务压力下挣扎时，支持他们的老一辈人也一样，因为他们的分担会让他们面临退休的风险。储蓄网站发现，有工作的父母每月为成年子女提供的资金是他们为退休账户提供的资金的2.4倍。)”可知，经济压力对年轻人和老年人都有影响。故选D。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段的“Essentially, while the US economy remains afloat, we will witness multiple generations of Americans sinking in their own lifeboats in the years ahead.(从本质上讲，虽然美国经济还在继续，但在未来的几年里，我们将看到几代美国人在自己的救生艇上沉没。)”可知，作者对美国人的未来持消极的态度。故选A。 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. 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. A 15. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章讲述科学的发展会让人们知道别人的头脑里在想什么。 【12题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第一段的“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. (你有多少次想知道坐在你对面的男孩在想什么？似乎你永远不会真正知道答案。毕竟，我们思考的内容是别人……的。)”可知，我们无法知道别人在思考什么，同样地我们在思考什么，别人也是无法察觉的，即对别人而言是秘密的，因此secret(秘密的)可以解释划线词。故选D。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段的“It makes it possible to see what’s going on inside the brain while people are thinking. (当人们在思考的时候，我们可以看到大脑内部发生了什么。) ”可知，fMRI是用来弄清楚你在想什么的。故选C。 【14题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第五段的“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 in different areas throughout the brain. “And we found that we could identify which object they were thinking about from their brain activation patterns. We’re identifying the thought that’s taking place,” he said. (他们做了一个实验，让实验对象思考10个物体——其中5个是剪刀或尺子之类的工具，并让他们生活在城堡或塔楼之类的建筑中。然后，他们记录并分析了每个受试者的大脑活动。例如，当我们想到“统治者”或“塔”时，Just说神经元开始在大脑的不同区域以不同的强度发射。“我们发现，我们可以从他们的大脑激活模式中识别出他们正在思考的对象。”我们正在识别正在发生的想法，”他说。)”可知，本段主要讲述的是实验过程。故选A。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段的“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.” (其先驱之一Gemma Calvert表示，这是一个不断发展的领域。“在过去几年里，我们看到了一种滚雪球效应。”)”可知，Gemma Calvert认为“神经营销”是有前途的。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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 World Environment Day, celebrated annually on June 5th, is a global event that encourages action for the protection of our environment.

Mrs. Virginia DeView cleared her throat and asked us to be quiet. “Now,” she said smiling, “we are going to discover our professions.” The class seemed to gasp(喘气) in chorus. Our professions? We stared at each other in disbelief. After all, we were only 13 and 14 years old. Because Virginia DeView was demanding, most of us just overlooked her brilliance. “Yes, you will all be searching for your future professions,” she said with a glow on her face as though this was the best thing she did in her classroom every year. “You will have to do a research paper on your upcoming career. Each of you will have to interview someone in your field, plus give an oral report.” All of us went home confused. Who knows what they want to do at 13? I had narrowed it down, however. I liked art, singing and writing. But I was terrible in art, and when I sang, my sisters screamed: “Oh, please shut up.” The only thing left was writing. Every day in her class, Virginia DeView monitored us. Where were we? Who had picked their careers? Finally, most of us had selected something: I picked print journalism（新闻工作）. This meant I had to interview a devoted newspaper reporter in person, and I was terrified. Sensing this, for the next 90 minutes, Mrs. Virginia DeView filled me with stories about print journalism… A few days later, I gave my oral report totally from memory. Surprisingly, I got an A on the entire project. Years later, I forgot all about Virginia DeView and the careers we selected. I was in college hunting for a new career.

And I told him about my dream of becoming a journalist. His initial reaction was surprise, then confusion, and finally, understanding. He said, “Remember, you were always more into the arts and writing than business. Perhaps Virginia DeView’s class was a sign of what you should truly pursue.” His words resonated with me, and I realized that I had been suppressing my true passion for years. I thanked him for his support and told him that I would pursue journalism with all my heart. Now I've had the most incredible and satisfying reporting career. I’ve interviewed world leaders, uncovered major stories, and written articles that have changed people’s lives. I often think back to Virginia DeView’s class and how she inspired me to follow my dreams. I’m grateful to her for planting that seed in my young mind and helping me realize my potential. I've come to understand that a successful career is not just about making money or following trends, but about finding something that you’re truly passionate about and dedicating yourself to it. Virginia DeView’s class was the start of my journey to discovering my true calling, and I’m forever grateful to her for that. 【解析】 【导语】本篇书面表达以Mrs. Virginia DeView的一节职业课线索，讲述了在Virginia DeView的课上，我找到了自己喜欢的职业，在大学迷茫时，突然想起来这一节课，从而想起来自己所喜欢的新闻工作。因此找到了自己的职业方向，并做得很出色。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我给父亲打电话。”可知，本段可以写我给父亲打电话告诉他我想做新闻工作的想法，父亲由起初的困惑变成了理解，并支持我。我感谢父亲，并告诉他我会全身心投入在这份工作中。 ②由第二段首句内容“现在我已经有了令人难以置信和令人满意的记者工作。”可知，本段可以写我在新闻工作方面取得的令人满意的成就，并感激Virginia DeView，是她帮我找到了我对这份工作的热情。 2.续写线索：给父亲打电话—父亲不理解—父亲支持我的决定—我决定全身心投去这份喜爱的工作—在新闻工作上取得的成就—感谢Virginia DeView。 3.词类激活： 行为类： 意识到：realize/come to realize/be aware of/come to understand 追寻：pursue/chase 采访：interview/have an interview with 情绪类： 惊讶：surprise/astonishment/amazement 热情：passion/enthusiasm 感激：be grateful to/appreciate/thank 【点睛】【高分句型1】 I often think back to Virginia DeView’s class and how she inspired me to follow my dreams.(运用了how引导宾语从句。) 【高分句型2】 Perhaps Virginia DeView’s class was a sign of what you should truly pursue.
