B My family has a history of diabetes (糖尿病), and I was, too, at risk of suffering from these diseases. When my doctor told me I had to do something about my weight because I was in danger of falling ill, I knew I had to take action. I did not want to become like my relatives who had to constantly worry about their health and suffer the consequences of ill health. In fact, I wanted to be healthy and I wanted to stay healthy. Consequently, I began this journey of losing weight and becoming fit. It took me years to get my weight back within healthy limits, and I faced many challenges along the way. Right now, I am not saying that the journey is over since it is not. But what I can say is that, along the way, I managed to create some really good, healthy habits for myself that allow me to keep myself in good shape. I cannot describe to you the great feeling of finally being in control of my own body. For years, I thought it was impossible to lose weight and that I was doomed (注定的) to share my family’s medical problems. When the doctor told me I should lose weight, I was not very positive about getting results. However, once they started to appear, my attitude changed. What I noticed, while I was on this road of losing weight, was that the little changes I could make counted the most. It was not a crazy strict diet or exercising for hours that helped me lose weight and keep it that way. The little habits, the small things － they were the ones that offered me the best way to lose the extra pounds I was carrying around. These are the tips that I followed: always warm up before exercising, drink enough water and always eat breakfast. That is how I managed to lose the weight I wanted.

C Smoking in your own home in Thailand may now be considered a crime, if the smoke is considered harmful to other people in the house. The new law, Family Protection and Development Promotion Act, was initiated (启动) by the Ministry of Social Development and Human Security and was announced in the Royal Gazette on May 22, 2019. The law aims at limiting smoking at home which might be hazardous for others’ health living under the same roof. In that case, it will be considered as “domestic violence”. The new law came into force on August 20. According to the center for research and knowledge management for tobacco control, at the Faculty of Medical Science of Mahidol University, there are about 4.9 million households where one or more family members smoke. An average of 10.3 million people have unconsciously become passive smokers because they’ve been breathing in smoke at home. Scientific studies show that passive smokers are at greater risk of being affected by cancer. Of 75 child patients from houses where smoking is practiced, 76% of them were found to have nicotine traces in their urine (尿液), with 43% of them having nicotine content going beyond permitted levels. Smoking at home also may lead to physical or emotional violence because of aggressiveness (攻击性) when there is a lack of smoking, and might as well ruin relationships between smokers and non-smoker family members. According to the new law, anyone who thinks they are affected by domestic smoking can report to officials concerned so that inspectors will be sent to investigate and take legal action against the smokers. Once confirmed, the court may order a person to receive treatment to quit smoking in an attempt to protect the person’s family. In February in 2019, Thailand had banned smoking at six of its airports along with a ban in public places. 8. What do we know about the new law in Thailand? A. It came into effect on May 22. B. It aimed at protecting the health of non-smokers. C. It regarded smoking at home as a kind of domestic violence. D. It clearly claimed that smoking at home is a crime. 9. What does the underlined word “hazardous” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Anxious. B. Harmful. C. Beneficial. D. Essential. 10. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about? A. The purpose of initiating the law. B. Responses to the new law. C. Actions to quit smoking. D. Bad consequences of smoking at home. 11. What can be inferred from the text? A. Smoking is illegal anywhere in Thailand. B. Passive smokers are not likely to suffer from cancer. C. People tend to be more aggressive when they are smoking. D. Thailand is making efforts to create a smoke-free environment. D Recent research has found that Martian (火星的) soil contains all the essential nutrients necessary for growing rice, planetary scientist Abhilash Ramachandran of the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville, reported at the Lunar and Planetary Science Conference, providing new possibilities for agriculture on the Red Planet. The study, conducted by a team of researchers from the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville, tested simulated (模拟的) Martian soil to determine its suitability for growing rice. The researchers found that the soil contained all the essential nutrients needed for the crop to grow. However, it would be a bit challenging for the plants to survive in the soil that has perchlorate, a chemical that has been detected on Mars’ surface and can be poisonous to plants. The team grew rice plants in a Martian soil simulant primarily made of Mojave Desert basalt (玄武岩). However the new-grown plants developed slighter shoots and thinner roots than the plants that grew from the potting mix. Even replacing just 25 percent of the simulant with a potting mix made a big difference, the team found. The team of researchers then conducted an experiment to grow rice in soil containing perchlorate. They used a wild rice variety and two genetically edited varieties which were designed to stand up to environmental stressors such as drought, and tested them in Mars-simulated soil with and without perchlorate. The study revealed that a concentration of three grams of perchlorate per kilogram of soil resulted in no growth of rice plants. However, when the concentration was reduced to one gram per kilogram, one of the genetically edited lines successfully grew both a shoot and a root, while the wild variety was only able to grow a root. “We want to send humans to Mars but we cannot take everything there. It’s going to be expensive,” said Ramachandran. The discovery could be a game-changer for future missions to Mars, as it could enable astronauts to grow their own food on the planet, reducing the need for costly and complex resupply missions. 12. How did the researchers conduct their study? A. By asking questions. B. By carrying out experiments. C. By making a case study. D. By referring to former studies. 13. The gene-edited variety grows better in one kilogram of soil containing ______. A. one gram of perchlorate B. two grams of perchlorate C. three grams of perchlorate D. four grams of perchlorate 14. Why did the researchers want to grow rice on Mars? A. To find a wonderful way to make money. B. To support the growing population on Earth. C. To help astronauts feed themselves on Mars. D. To enable people to eat new varieties of rice. 15. What’s the best title for the text? A. What Should We Grow on Mars? B. How Did Martian Soil Change Over Time? C. People Are Likely to Live on Mars Years Later D. Martian Soil May Have All the Essential Nutrients Rice Needs 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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Mastering time management is a crucial skill that can enhance productivity and reduce stress especially for beginners.

The words the doctor said to them completely shook them, “Your daughter was born with a cleft lip (唇裂).” It was impossible for the couple to hide their sadness. They couldn’t believe it was true until they saw their daughter in person. Seeing her cleft made Dana and Jeff heartbroken more than anything. It broke their heart to imagine the kind of life Melody would lead in the future. When the doctor told Dana and Jeff that their daughter’s condition was treatable with a cleft lip surgery (外科手术), the couple saw a ray of hope. Rather than feeling stressful like the first few days, they promised themselves they never wanted their daughter to suffer from that. They would support Melody as best they could. Dana and Jeff were ready to do anything for Melody. After bringing Melody home, they immediately began looking for cleft surgery options. However, no matter where they turned, getting Melody the surgery she needed was expensive, and the various treatments and medications she needed in the following would also be much more costly than the young family could afford. One day, however, things took a turn for the better. While browsing through a medical forum one evening, Jeff stumbled upon (意外发现) a post about a nonprofit organization that specialized in cleft lip surgeries for children. The organization, named Smileatfuture, is dedicated to providing free surgeries to families who could not afford the procedure. The couple had seen a lot of photos and read a lot of stories about children who had cleft surgeries sponsored by Smileatfuture, and the results were unbelievable. The idea that Melody could grow up with hardly a scar (伤疤) where her cleft was lit a fire under the couple. Without any hesitation, Dana and her husband reached out to Smileatfuture and handed in an application for medical aid. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。 Everything went more smoothly than Dana and Jeff had expected. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The big day for Melody’s surgery finally came ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 息县二高联考2023-2024学年下期期末考试 高二英语试题卷 注意事项: 本试卷分四部分，考试时间120分钟，满分150分。考生应首先阅读答题卡上的文字信息，然后在答题卡上作答，在试题卷上作答无效。 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 is the woman excited about?

When the doctor told me I should lose weight, I was not very positive about getting results. However, once they started to appear, my attitude changed. What I noticed, while I was on this road of losing weight, was that the little changes I could make counted the most. It was not a crazy strict diet or exercising for hours that helped me lose weight and keep it that way. The little habits, the small things － they were the ones that offered me the best way to lose the extra pounds I was carrying around. These are the tips that I followed: always warm up before exercising, drink enough water and always eat breakfast. That is how I managed to lose the weight I wanted. I followed the three simple tips above, which also.-gave me some good habits! 4. How did the author react after hearing the doctor’s advice? A. She took it seriously. B. She turned a deaf ear to it. C. She was a bit doubtful about it. D. She became worried about her disease. 5. Which of the following can best describe the author’s weight-changing journey? A. Costly and traditional. B. Easy and rclaxing. C. Risky and hurtful. D. Difficult and long. 6 What did the author mean by saying “my attitude changed” in paragraph 4? A. She began to believe in her doctor. B.

The new law, Family Protection and Development Promotion Act, was initiated (启动) by the Ministry of Social Development and Human Security and was announced in the Royal Gazette on May 22, 2019. The law aims at limiting smoking at home which might be hazardous for others’ health living under the same roof. In that case, it will be considered as “domestic violence”. The new law came into force on August 20. According to the center for research and knowledge management for tobacco control, at the Faculty of Medical Science of Mahidol University, there are about 4.9 million households where one or more family members smoke. An average of 10.3 million people have unconsciously become passive smokers because they’ve been breathing in smoke at home. Scientific studies show that passive smokers are at greater risk of being affected by cancer. Of 75 child patients from houses where smoking is practiced, 76% of them were found to have nicotine traces in their urine (尿液), with 43% of them having nicotine content going beyond permitted levels. Smoking at home also may lead to physical or emotional violence because of aggressiveness (攻击性) when there is a lack of smoking, and might as well ruin relationships between smokers and non-smoker family members. According to the new law, anyone who thinks they are affected by domestic smoking can report to officials concerned so that inspectors will be sent to investigate and take legal action against the smokers. Once confirmed, the court may order a person to receive treatment to quit smoking in an attempt to protect the person’s family. In February in 2019, Thailand had banned smoking at six of its airports along with a ban in public places. 8. What do we know about the new law in Thailand? A. It came into effect on May 22. B. It aimed at protecting the health of non-smokers. C. It regarded smoking at home as a kind of domestic violence. D. It clearly claimed that smoking at home is a crime. 9. What does the underlined word “hazardous” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Anxious. B. Harmful. C. Beneficial. D. Essential. 10. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about? A. The purpose of initiating the law. B. Responses to the new law. C. Actions to quit smoking. D. Bad consequences of smoking at home. 11. What can be inferred from the text? A. Smoking is illegal anywhere in Thailand. B. Passive smokers are not likely to suffer from cancer. C. People tend to be more aggressive when they are smoking. D. Thailand is making efforts to create a smoke-free environment. 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. D 11. D 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了泰国的一项新的法律，限制在家里吸烟，泰国正在努力创造无烟的环境。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段关键句“The law aims at limiting smoking at home which might be hazardous for others’ health living under the same roof. In that case, it will be considered as “domestic violence”.”（这项法律旨在限制在家里吸烟，因为在同一屋檐下吸烟可能危害他人的健康。在这种情况下，吸烟将被视为“家庭暴力”。）可知，这项法律认为在同一屋檐下吸烟可能危害他人的健康，这种行为被视为“家庭暴力”。由此可知，泰国的新法律认为在家吸烟是一种家庭暴力。故选C项。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线单词所在句中“The law aims at limiting smoking at home”（这项法律旨在限制在家里吸烟）可知，这项法律的目的是为了限制在家里吸烟，再结合生活常识可知，限制吸烟，是因为吸烟会导致家里的其他人成为被动吸烟者，这对他们的身体有害，“Harmful”意为“有害的”，符合句意。故选B项。 【10题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段关键句“Smoking at home also may lead to physical or emotional violence because of aggressiveness (攻击性) when there is a lack of smoking, and might as well ruin relationships between smokers and non-smoker family members.”（在家里吸烟还可能导致身体或精神暴力，因为在缺乏吸烟的情况下人具有攻击性，还可能破坏吸烟的和不吸烟的家庭成员之间的关系。）可知，本段内容告诉我们吸烟可能导致身体或精神暴力，还可能破坏吸烟的和不吸烟的家庭成员之间的关系，这些都是吸烟给家庭带来的危害。由此可知，第四段的主要内容是介绍在家吸烟的不良后果。故选D项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段关键句“The law aims at limiting smoking at home which might be hazardous for others’ health living under the same roof.”（这项法律旨在限制在家里吸烟，因为在同一屋檐下吸烟可能危害他人的健康。）和最后一段关键句“In February in 2019, Thailand had banned smoking at six of its airports along with a ban in public places.”（2019年2月，泰国在公共场所实施禁烟令的同时，还禁止在6个机场吸烟。）可知，本文主要介绍了泰国为禁烟做出的努力，限制在家里吸烟，禁止在公共场所吸烟，禁止在6个机场吸烟等。由此可知，泰国正在努力创造无烟的环境。故选D项。 D Recent research has found that Martian (火星的) soil contains all the essential nutrients necessary for growing rice, planetary scientist Abhilash Ramachandran of the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville, reported at the Lunar and Planetary Science Conference, providing new possibilities for agriculture on the Red Planet. The study, conducted by a team of researchers from the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville, tested simulated (模拟的) Martian soil to determine its suitability for growing rice. The researchers found that the soil contained all the essential nutrients needed for the crop to grow. However, it would be a bit challenging for the plants to survive in the soil that has perchlorate, a chemical that has been detected on Mars’ surface and can be poisonous to plants. The team grew rice plants in a Martian soil simulant primarily made of Mojave Desert basalt (玄武岩). However, the new-grown plants developed slighter shoots and thinner roots than the plants that grew from the potting mix. Even replacing just 25 percent of the simulant with a potting mix made a big difference, the team found. The team of researchers then conducted an experiment to grow rice in soil containing perchlorate. They used a wild rice variety and two genetically edited varieties, which were designed to stand up to environmental stressors such as drought, and tested them in Mars-simulated soil with and without perchlorate. The study revealed that a concentration of three grams of perchlorate per kilogram of soil resulted in no growth of rice plants. However, when the concentration was reduced to one gram per kilogram, one of the genetically edited lines successfully grew both a shoot and a root, while the wild variety was only able to grow a root. “We want to send humans to Mars but we cannot take everything there. It’s going to be expensive,” said Ramachandran. The discovery could be a game-changer for future missions to Mars, as it could enable astronauts to grow their own food on the planet, reducing the need for costly and complex resupply missions. 12. How did the researchers conduct their study? A. By asking questions. B. By carrying out experiments. C. By making a case study. D. By referring to former studies. 13. The gene-edited variety grows better in one kilogram of soil containing ______. A. one gram of perchlorate B. two grams of perchlorate C. three grams of perchlorate D. four grams of perchlorate 14. Why did the researchers want to grow rice on Mars? A. To find a wonderful way to make money. B. To support the growing population on Earth. C. To help astronauts feed themselves on Mars. D. To enable people to eat new varieties of rice. 15. What’s the best title for the text? A. What Should We Grow on Mars? B. How Did Martian Soil Change Over Time? C. People Are Likely to Live on Mars Years Later D. Martian Soil May Have All the Essential Nutrients Rice Needs 【答案】12. B 13. A 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍在火星土壤上种植稻米的可能性以及实验的经过。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段的“The study, conducted by a team of researchers from the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville, tested simulated (模拟的) Martian soil to determine its suitability for growing rice. (这项研究由费耶特维尔阿肯色大学的一个研究小组进行，他们测试了模拟的火星土壤，以确定其是否适合种植水稻)”可知，研究人员是通过做实验进行研究的。故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第六段“The study revealed that a concentration of three grams of perchlorate per kilogram of soil resulted in no growth of rice plants. However, when the concentration was reduced to one gram per kilogram, one of the genetically edited lines successfully grew both a shoot and a root, while the wild variety was only able to grow a root.(研究表明，每公斤土壤中含有3克高氯酸盐的浓度导致水稻无法生长。然而，当浓度降低到每公斤1克时，其中一个基因编辑的品系成功地长出了芽和根，而野生品种只能长出根)”可知，在含有1克高氯酸盐的1公斤土壤中生长的基因编辑过的品种长的更好。故选A。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段的“The discovery could be a game-changer for future missions to Mars, as it could enable astronauts to grow their own food on the planet, reducing the need for costly and complex resupply missions.(这一发现可能会改变未来的火星任务，因为它可以使宇航员在火星上种植自己的食物，减少昂贵而复杂的补给任务的需要)”可推知，研究者想要在火星上种植水稻是为了帮助宇航员在火星上养活自己。故选C。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“Recent research has found that Martian (火星的) soil contains all the essential nutrients necessary for growing rice, planetary scientist Abhilash Ramachandran of the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville, reported at the Lunar and Planetary Science Conference, providing new possibilities for agriculture on the Red Planet.(费耶特维尔阿肯色大学的行星科学家Abhilash Ramachandran在月球和行星科学会议上报告说，最近的研究发现，火星土壤含有种植水稻所需的所有必需营养素，这为这颗红色星球上的农业提供了新的可能性)”可知，本文主要讲的是火星土壤可能含有水稻种植所需的所有必要养分。由此可知，“火星土壤可能含有水稻所需的所有必需营养素”适合作本文的标题。故选D。 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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Mastering time management is a crucial skill that can enhance productivity and reduce stress, especially for beginners.

The words the doctor said to them completely shook them “Your daughter was born with a cleft lip (唇裂).” It was impossible for the couple to hide their sadness. They couldn’t believe it was true until they saw their daughter in person. Seeing her cleft made Dana and Jeff heartbroken more than anything. It broke their heart to imagine the kind of life Melody would lead in the future. When the doctor told Dana and Jeff that their daughter’s condition was treatable with a cleft lip surgery (外科手术), the couple saw a ray of hope. Rather than feeling stressful like the first few days, they promised themselves they never wanted their daughter to suffer from that. They would support Melody as best they could. Dana and Jeff were ready to do anything for Melody. After bringing Melody home, they immediately began looking for cleft surgery options. However, no matter where they turned, getting Melody the surgery she needed was expensive, and the various treatments and medications she needed in the following would also be much more costly than the young family could afford. One day, however, things took a turn for the better. While browsing through a medical forum one evening, Jeff stumbled upon (意外发现) a post about a nonprofit organization that specialized in cleft lip surgeries for children. The organization, named Smileatfuture, is dedicated to providing free surgeries to families who could not afford the procedure. The couple had seen a lot of photos and read a lot of stories about children who had cleft surgeries sponsored by Smileatfuture, and the results were unbelievable. The idea that Melody could grow up with hardly a scar (伤疤) where her cleft was lit a fire under the couple. Without any hesitation, Dana and her husband reached out to Smileatfuture and handed in an application for medical aid. 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。 Everything went more smoothly than Dana and Jeff had expected. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The big day for Melody’s surgery finally came. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文： Everything went more smoothly than Dana and Jeff had expected. Within one week, they were overjoyed to learn that their application had been approved and that Melody was qualified for the program. Then they made an instant appointment with Smileatfuture. The moment the couple walked into Smileatfuture, they were greeted with warm smiles and a sense of community. Smileatfuture’s team was incredibly supportive, guiding them on everything they needed to do to prepare Melody for her surgery. Knowing that their daughter’s future was in capable hands, they left with a newfound sense of optimism that day. The big day for Melody’s surgery finally came. All the tests beforehand showed that Melody was in perfect condition for the surgery. The couple’s hearts were overflowing with a mix of anxiety and hope. After what seemed a century’s waiting, they finally had good news that the surgery was a success. Imagining that their girl was on track for a life of joy, loving to run around and play with other kids in the future, Dana and Jeff felt more than relieved and grateful. The couple owed all these to the kindness they received. They also made a promise to pay it forward by helping others in need. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Dana 和Jeff的女儿Melody出生后被诊断患有唇裂，以及他们如何面对这一挑战，并最终通过非营利组织Smileatfuture的帮助为女儿成功进行手术的过程，展现了父母对子女的深深爱意和面对困难时的坚持与希望。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“一切都比Dana和Jeff预期的顺利。”以及第二段首句内容“Melody手术的大日子终于来了。”可知，第一段可描写Dana和Jeff的申请被批准了，Melody可以参加这个项目。 ②由第二段首句内容“Melody手术的大日子终于来了。”可知，第二段可描写Melody手术非常成功，Dana和Jeff非常感激自己得到的帮助。 2.续写线索：Dana和Jeff的女儿出生那天，医生告知他们女儿患有唇裂——俩人伤心欲绝，这时医生说这种情况可以通过唇裂手术解决——俩人决定尽最大的努力帮助女儿——手术的费用非常高，Dana和Jeff意外得知有一家非营利组织可以为无法负担手术费用的家庭提供免费手术——俩人立刻联系了该组织，一切都很顺利，他们的申请通过了——Melody的手术非常成功，一家人都非常感激所有人的帮助 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①走进：walk into/step into ②得知：know/learn ③承诺：make a promise/promise 情绪类 ①焦虑：anxiety/concern/worry ②感激的：grateful/thankful 【点睛】【高分句型1】Within one week, they were overjoyed to learn that their application had been approved and that Melody was qualified for the program.（运用了that引导的宾语从句） 【高分句型2】The moment the couple walked into Smileatfuture, they were greeted with warm smiles and a sense of community.（运用了the moment引导的状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
