With the holiday around the corner, I didn’t know how to buy Christmas presents for my children. One day while window shopping with my 4-month-old son, a stranger walked up to me and began a conversation asking the usual baby questions like how old he was, whether he was my only child etc. After a few minutes of talking, he introduced himself as Ralph, and asked for help with shopping for his grandkids since he didn’t know what to buy. I agreed. 高二英语试题 第 2 页 共 30 页 We went through the entire store picking out this and that. The whole time he kept apologizing for taking up my time and was saying how it was hard to come across nice people these days. When the cart was full of clothes and toys, Ralph thanked me for my help. We parted and I went on window shopping for a few items. When I left the store about 20 minutes later I heard a woman calling out “Ma’am, Ma’am with the baby, you left something”. At first I kept walking because I didn’t think she was speaking to me. When she caught up to me, she said she had something for me at customer service. I followed her there and she pushed a shopping cart full of bags toward me and handed me an envelope with a card that read: “Thank you for helping an old man be joyful. The presents in the cart are for you and your children. You are a kind person and this is my thanks to you. Never change. — Ralph” I looked around to see if I could find Ralph but he was gone. I stood there for a few minutes as tears rolled down my cheeks. I was speechless and very thankful. On Christmas day my 10-year-old son asked where the presents came from and I told him—Santa. 24.

You finish a full meal and are like “I’m never eating again.” But then, out comes a beautiful piece of cake. And, you said you were full, but not for dessert! It turns out you really can “make room” for dessert. And there’s a scientific reason why. The thing that gives you room for dessert is called “Sensory-Specific Satiety”. That’s what Dr. Rolls, a nutritional scientist, has been studying since the 1980s. Here is how her experiment went. She gave six people a giant plate of spaghetti and told them to eat until they were full. And then, for the second course, she gave them more. Then, she gave them ice cream. On average, after they said they were full on spaghetti, each person could eat just one more ounce of it in their second serving. But when she gave them ice cream, somehow they could eat three times as much. They “made room” for dessert. The experiment shows that when you feel full, it’s not necessarily that your stomach is physically full. It’s more about how interested you are in eating more. Sensory-specific satiety is the change in how much you like a food, how much you want to eat, as you’re eating it. “I’ve just had enough of the food; I want something else” is really what sensory-specific satiety is. And that natural ability has a purpose: it’s meant to keep us healthy. It’s going to help to guarantee that we’re going to eat the variety of nutrients that we need. However, it can backfire of course, because if we are presented with a variety of foods, it makes us extra likely to overeat. 32. What’s the purpose of the first paragraph? A. To lead to the main topic. B. To make a comparison. C. To amuse the readers. D. To summarize the main idea. 33. According to Dr. Rolls, why did the people “make room” for ice cream? A. Because they had a wrong feeling. B. Because there was a change in food variety. C. Because they lied about feeling full. D. Because the ice cream was more delicious. 34. What does the underlined word “backfire” probably mean? A. Consume much energy. B. Discourage people from eating. C. Have the opposite result. D. Produce a helpful effect. 35. In which section of a newspaper may the text appear? A. Entertainment. B. Education. C. Culture. D. Health. 2020-2021 学年度 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 Your dream holiday comes true as you book this customizable 4 nights 5 days Cape Town package tour.

B My husband Wade and I run Southern Koala Rescue and are committed to saving as many koalas as we can. One day, we were called out to rescue a koala that was stuck in a burning tree; but when the flames died down, we decided to return, thinking there could be other koalas that needed our help. Wade and I were walking through the blackened bushland with our team of volunteers when I spotted a koala on a burnt tree with a swollen and infected wound the size of a 20-cent piece on its neck. Using rings on the end of poles, we coaxed（哄诱）the koala down and put it in a carrier before having it examined. The wound needed a minor operation and, afterwards, the koala, who we named Claire, had to stay indoors to keep flies off the injury. Claire was frightened of me at first, but after four weeks I gained her trust. Finally, it was time for Claire to get ready to go outside and build up enough muscle movement to be released back into the wild. This was the most satisfying part of my job because not all koalas can be saved. I did miss them when they were gone, but I knew they were not meant to be pets. After the Black Summer fires destroyed so much of the country from 2019 to 2020, extinction for koalas is a very real possibility. For individuals, one of the easiest ways you can help koalas is leaving a dish of water in your backyard. It can save a life and that counts. 4. Why were the volunteer team called out？ A. To put out a big fire. B. To save a trapped koala. C. To search for missing animals. D. To clear the blackened bushland. 5. What can we learn about Claire？ A. It was afraid of flies. B. It got hurt by hunters. C. It needed a major operation. D. It developed trust in humans. 6. Which part of the job does the author find the most meaningful？ A. Sending rescued animals back to nature. B. Providing a shelter for wild animal. C. Curing the injured animals. D. Petting many wild animals. 7. What can be inferred from the last paragraph？ A. Humans are responsible for the big fire. B. Nothing can stop wildlife dying out. 高二英语试题 第 5 页 共 30 页 C. Small acts can make a big difference. D. Animals are human’s best friends. C “Instagram(a social networking app) will cut out many users’ accounts on December 20. To protect your account, repost this warning #KeepMyAccountSafe.” Every few months, it happens again-a dozen of annoying posts from my kids’ friends suddenly start to appear on my Instagram news feed. According to a new study by Stanford University, most kids don’t know what news is fake. Researchers asked more than 7,800 middle school and high school students to complete 56 tasks, like distinguishing an advertisement from a real news story on a website and determining which blog in a series was most reliable. They found that students judged the credibility of blogs based not on the source of the material, but on how much detail they contained, or whether a large photo was attached. “Many people assume that because young people are fluent in social media, they can distinguish fake news, but our work shows the opposite to be true,” wrote lead study author Sam Wineburg, a professor at Stanford’s Graduate School of Education. Both Google and Facebook are now taking steps to control misleading news from making its way on their platforms, but they won’t be able to eliminate it completely. That is why it’s now more important than ever to teach our kids to think critically when it comes to believing various information sources. “In the coming months, we look forward to sharing our assessments and working with educators to create materials that will guide young people in the sea of disinformation they encounter online,” said Wineburg. 8. How does the author introduce the topic of the passage? A. By stating opinions.B. By showing findings. C. By quoting sayings.D. By citing a post. 9. According to researchers, what determines the credibility of online information? A. The source of the material. B. The popularity of the website. C. The amount of details. D. The size of relevant photos. 10. What does the underlined word “eliminate” mean in paragraph 4? A. Digest. B. Update. C. Estimate. D. Remove. 11. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage? A. Stronger Together: The Internet Changes Our Life B. Be Careful: Kids Are Bad at Identifying Fake News C. Reliable News Has No Place on Social Media D. Educators Have a Long Way to Go to Guide the Young D For people who are deaf or hard of hearing, it can be difficult to pick out important sounds, such as knocks at the door or fire alarms. Now researchers at the University of Washington have developed a smartwatch app called SoundWatch, which identifies sounds and reminds users of them with a vibration and a visual readout. The project was led by Dhruv Jain, inspired by his own experience being hard of hearing. SoundWatch uses the smartwatch’s microphone to listen out for particular sounds, sends the data to a user’s connected phone for processing, then back to the watch to display in text what the sound is, and how loud it is. That’s accompanied by a vibration to tell the wearer that something has been detected. “This technology provides people with a way to experience sounds that require an action—such as getting food from the microwave when it beeps, which can improve people’s experiences and help them feel more connected to the world,” says Jain. “But it’s not perfect of course. The app sometimes gets it wrong, or takes too long to tell a user. However, these issues are being worked on.” Disability is highly personal , and Jain hopes his team can find ways for people to personalize this app for their own specific needs. For example, people can be told about 高二英语试题 第 6 页 共 30 页 the sounds they care about- a husband’s or wife’s voice versus general speech, the back door opening versus the front door opening, and more. 12. What does “them” in paragraph 1 refer to? A. Researchers. B. Apps. C. Sounds. D. Fire alarms. 13. What is mainly discussed about SoundWatch in paragraph 2? A. How it works. B. Why it is invented. C. Who it is intended for. D. What it can detect. 14. Which word can best describe Jain’s attitude to SoundWatch? A. Doubtful. B. Critical. C. Objective. D. Disapproving. 15. What does Jain expect SoundWatch to be? A. Affordable. B. Personally tailored C. Multifunctional. D. Fashionably designed. 2021-2022 学年度 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 Membership Privileges(特权) As a VivaCity Kids Club member, you get to enjoy great deals and offers from all participating stores as well as access to exclusive events all year round!

B Meet Boji. He is often seen waiting on train platforms and riding buses around town. He takes commuting so seriously that he has become an international celebrity and a VIP for all commuters in Istanbul. Actually, Boji is a much-loved stray animal with 高二英语试题 第 7 页 共 30 页 large brown eyes and golden fur. Boji was first spotted riding the subway in August. He caught people’s attention because he seemed to understand how to use the transport system. “We noticed a dog using our subways and trains. He let passengers get off before jumping onto the train and knew where to get out,” Aylin Erol from Metro Istanbul said. Vets took Boji in for a check up, placing a GPS tracker on him so they could record his journeys. They soon discovered that this traveling dog covers some 30 kilometers onpublic transport a day, using at least 29 subway stations. So he was nicknamed Boji, theTurkish word for “subway car”. Stray animals are a regular part of life in Istanbul. As a large city in the world, Istanbul is also home to 150,000 stray dogs and cats. As locals have been known to feed and leave water for these street animals for centuries, stray animals are a regular part of life for the residents of Istanbul. Yet a traveling dog is new even for Istanbul residents. “You take the train and, suddenly, you see Boji. You just smile and catch the moment. Boji reminds us that we can still enjoy Istanbul as we rush about. This sweet dog sits upright on trains watching the world go by. As he travels, he brings smiles and warmth to tired passengers,” Erol told Reuters. 4. Why did Boji draw people's attention? A. He had an attractive appearance.B. He could understand commuters’ orders. C. He had experiences of living on streets.D. He could ride public transportation by himself. 5. For what purpose did vets place a GPS tracker on Boji? A. To monitor his health.B. To record the route he takes. C. To discover his favorite destination.D. To help him find the way home. 6. What can we learn about Istanbul? A. It is the largest city in the world.B. Its residents live a rather poor life.C. Its location is suitable for raising animals.D. It has a tradition of caring for stray animals. 7. How do passengers probably feel when seeing Boji? A. Pitiful. B. Scared. C. Inspired. D. Annoyed. C Coffee is the morning go-to drink. Globally, over 10 billion kilograms of coffee is produced every year and the demand is continuously growing. However, it is unlikely to produce more coffee if climate change continues and reduces the amount of land available. That’s why it’s necessary to find alternative methods of producing coffee. Now, Finland is leading the way to grow its own coffee in the lab without using the beans. The coffee is being produced through cellular agriculture, an innovation that could make growing coffee more sustainable, according to Finland’s VTT Technical Research Center. The man made coffee is made using cells from real coffee plants. Research team leader Heiko Rischer said, “Initially a cell culture is started from a plant part (e.g. a leaf). The formed cells are reproduced on a specific nutrient medium. Ultimately, the cells are 高二英语试题 第 8 页 共 30 页 moved to a bioreactor from which the biomass (生物质) is then harvested. The cells are dried and roasted and then coffee can be tasted.” Added environmental benefits of this kind of coffee is that it will require far less water, will have a smaller transportation footprint, and there will be no pesticides used in the production process. At this point the coffee being produced is experimental food and have to receive approval from the FDA and European certification. The product is also being refined and needs time to come into commercial production. Although lab-grown meat and dairy is starting to be commercially available, the question is: will people accept a cell-grown replacement to conventional coffee? Only time will tell if the world is ready for a cup of lab-grown coffee. 8. What is the major challenge to produce more coffee? A. Climate change.B. Outdated technology. C. Decreased demand.D. Soil pollution. 9. Which process happens on the specific nutrient medium? A. Removing cells.B. Reproducing cells. C. Harvesting cells.D. Drying cells. 10. What does the underlined word “refined” mean in paragraph 4? A. Sold.B. Consumed.C. Improved.D. Wrapped, 11. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text? A. Let Lab-grown Coffee Fill Your Cup B. Enjoy First-class Life with More Coffee C. Say Goodbye to Old- fashioned Agriculture D. Save Finland by Being Environment friendly D Creativity is usually associated with open spaces and freedom, However, sometimes it can be beneficial, even essential, to build walls, make rules and impose (强 加) limitations on ourselves in order to get our creativity flowing. The fact is that unlimited options are very difficult to deal with — they keep us staring at the “blank page”. Our minds need some guidance; if there are no rules or restrictions in place, it’s hard to begin the creative process and even more difficult to remain focused or purposeful. Most creative careers have limitations imposed upon them. If you' re an engineer working on a new product, you have instructions, including purpose, target market, materials and size. If you're a writer, you may have length or style restrictions to deal with. There is hardly a real life example of creation that exists without some kind of rules. Famous for the wildly successful daily art project a skull a day for a year, Noah Scalin is an artist who created unique pieces of art using drawing, sculpture, painting — any other media he had around — to create representation of a human head. Each day he challenged himself to create a “head” that had to be unique during that 24-hour period. He couldn’t sit back waiting for inspiration to strike: he was forced to constantly seek out new materials and ideas to fill up his “blank page”. Acts of creation without limitation exist in reality only in the most extreme cases. Inventors don’t generally wake up one day and say, “I’m going to invent something 高二英语试题 第 9 页 共 30 页 today.” They look around at what there is and what needs improving, and work with the resources available. While anyone can come up with random, fantastic ideas without direction or purpose, imposing limitations is a more effective way of encouraging creativity, and can inspire true innovation. 12. In what aspect do unlimited options influence people’s thinking? A. Strengthening focus.B. Setting unrealistic goals. C. Slowing down creative process.D. Generating new thinking patterns. 13. Why does the author mention “engineer” and “writer” in paragraph 3? A. To make a comment.B. To introduce a topic. C. To make a comparison.D. To support an opinion. 14. What's Noah Scalin’s trick to success? A. Carrying out a fixed task daily.B. Inventing new painting materials. C. Forcing himself to sit still for hours.D. Creating as many works as possible. 15. What message does the author intend to convey in the text? A. The name of joy is creativity.B. No limitation, no innovation. C. Rules are meant to be broken.D. Success comes with a free mind. 2022-2023学年度 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 MetroCard New York, a thin plastic rechargeable card, is a good option if you are planning to take a tour of New York and are looking for a simple and inexpensive way to get around! Which to choose? Depending on your preferences, you can choose among the following types of cards: The pay-per-use card: Pay-per-ride MetroCard Ametro journey costs $ 3 (single fare), but with a Pay-per-ride MetroCard you will only pay $2. 75. Your card will be charged for each journey you make. Note that a card can be used by up to 4 people-i. e. if you only have one card in your group of 4 people, you can access the subway or bus by swiping(刷卡) it 4 times. However, if there are 5 of you, you will need a second card: the Pay-per-ride MetroCard can only be swiped 4 times in a row. The unlimited use payment card: Unlimited Ride MetroCard The 7-day-unlimited MetroCard is valid(有效的) for 7 straight days. It costs $33. If you use public transport often during your stay, it will quickly become profitable! That’s why it’s the most commonly used card for tourists. The 30-day-unlimited MetroCard is valid for 30 days. It costs $127. You have unlimited swipes on the subway and buses for 30 days, and you can’t pause it once started. The One-year MetroCard is valid for a whole year, so it is of no interest to tourists. How to use? You have to swipe your MetroCard through the reader and then wait for the display 高二英语试题 第 10 页 共 30 页 to say “GO”. Unfortunately , this isn’t as easy as it sounds at times. As with many other Metro passes, it can be kind of tricky at first, but if you can’t get it working, you are not alone. Just watch other people and do what they do. 1. How many Pay-per-ride MetroCardsre needed at least for a group of 6 people? A. 1.B. 2.C. 4.D. 6. 2.Which type of card is the most popular among tourists? A. One-year MetroCard.B. Pay-per-ride MetroCard. C. 7-day-unlimited MetroCard.D. 30-day-unlimited MetroCard. 3.What are new users advised to do with failed card swipes? A. Check the reader.B. Copy successful passengers. C.Wait for help.D. Choose other Metro passes. B It is impossible to tell what the future holds. For Nelly Cheboi, the future was guided by her childhood dream of wanting to change the lives of those around her; little did she know that technology would become the gateway for such change. A native of Mogotio, Kenya, Nelly Cheboi grew up in a run-down house, walked to school barefoot every day, and went to bed hungry every night-something not uncommon for those in her community. Nevertheless, she studied hard and earned a full-ride college scholarship. She had consumed plenty of books growing up, but didn’t know a thing about computers. If given a ten page paper in college, Cheboi would choose to hand-write it because she typed too slowly. It was only in Cheboi’s third year of college that she encountered computer science—a subject she was fascinated by. She learned low technology could serve the economy and realized that, in order to fix the systems in Kenya that kept people in a cycle of poverty (贫穷), she could encourage her community to work online. That then became the motivation for TechLit Africa. Founded in 2018, TechLit Africa is Cheboi’s nonprofit organization that provides students in rural Kenya with access to technology and the ability to learn fundamental digital skills. Computers are donated, transported to Kenya, and then refurbished(翻 新 )locally. TechLit Africa provides the computers and curriculum to schools. Schools and parents cover for the costs of local operations. Today, Cheboi is working on ensuring TechLit Africa keeps running, especially in terms of funding. She says that TechLit Africa’s programs are the highlight of students’ days-but it is difficult to convince parents, teachers and the county government of the digital economy and how technology can financially support people. “In a way, TechLit Africa serves as a bridge to connect two worlds-kids interact, ask questions and imagine what life is like out there while understanding the value of the Internet,” Cheboi says. In doing so, kids unlock global opportunities and a second chance at a more fulfilling life. 4.Where did Cheboi’s weakness lie according to paragraph 2? A. Taking care of herself.B. Reading academic books. C. Handwriting papers.D.Using a computer. 高二英语试题 第 11 页 共 30 页 5.Why did Cheboi decide to establish TechLit Africa? A. To free her community from heavy physical work. B. To encourage online communication among locals. C. To raise funds for uneducated children in poor areas. D. To lift her community out of poverty by the Internet. 6.What does paragraph 5 mainly tell us about Cheboi’s program? A. Its development.B. Its impact.C. Its challenge.D. Its popularity. 7. How does TechLit Africa benefit kids in Africa? A. It ensures future employment.B. It provides a global perspective. C. It increases chances of traveling.D. It inspires passion for charity. C Imagine if it were easy for everyone to get to the seashore, to smell the sea winds and to feel seawater on their skin. Wouldn’t it be great if people with walking difficulty could also get closer to the ocean to enjoy the thrill of a sunset, watching the sun’s rays light up the waves? The good news is that things are moving in the right direction! In a CDC study, around 14% of adults in the US report a mobility disability, defined as serious difficulty walking or climbing stairs. This can make vacation planning a challenge and put some destinations off-limits. But technology companies like Mobi-mat are making a day at the beach for people with limited mobility a reality. Mobi-mat has developed some exciting innovations like non-slip roll-out accessibility mats(垫子 ). These function like red carpets at movie premieres(首映 ), taking people with special needs right to the seashore. They are made of a fine nylon material that is designed for people who use wheelchairs or may otherwise need a firmer surface to cross the sand. More cities are working to make enjoyment of the beach much more wide-ranging in other creative ways based on regional conditions. The town of Jupiter in Florida has opened up access to its beaches to people who have trouble going up and down stairs via three new wide wooden walkovers.

Scientists at Princeton find that while music absolutely can stimulate(激发 )similar mental experiences, the results also strongly suggest culture is a major factor. A total of 622 people took part in the study. All of the volunteers came from one of three locations: two suburban college towns in the US (one in Arkansas and the other in Michigan), or the rural Chinese village of Dimen. It’s worth noting that the main language in Dimen is Dong, a tonal language unrelated to the official language of China. Locals there have little contact with Western media or culture at all. All participants listened to the exact same 32 “musical stimuli”— which were 60-second cuts of instrumental music. Half of these pieces came from Western music while the rest came from Chinese music. After hearing, researchers asked the groups about the images they saw in their heads while listening. Incredibly, people from Arkansas and Michigan often described very similar stories, even using the exact same words frequently. Dimen listeners, on the other hand, envisioned stories that were similar to each other but quite different from the American listeners. More specifically, one track led t o Americans seeing a cowboy in the hot desert surveying an empty town. Meanwhile, Chinese participants imagined a man in ancient times reflecting on the loss of a loved one. “There’s something about the results that’s really surprising, especially because people encounter music in 2022 often in a solitary way, over headphones. But it turns out, it’s still a shared experience, almost like a shred dream, although not universally shared, ”says Elizabeth Margulis, the study author. The results paint a more complex picture of music’s power. Music can generate remarkably similar stories in listeners’ minds, but it depends on a common set of cultural experiences. So while we imagine music can bring people together, the opposite can also be true-it can distinguish between sets of people with a different background or culture. 12.What is the probable reason for Dimen being selected for the study? A. Its unique cultural background.B. Its close contact with US. C. Its complex language system.D. Its long tradition of music. 13.What were the participants required to do after listening to music? A. Exchange their comments on the scene.B. Imagine musicians’ original inspiration. C. Describe the picture forming in mind.D. Recall personal music-related stories. 14.Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word “solitary” in paragraph 4? 高二英语试题 第 13 页 共 30 页 A. Strange.B. Individual.C. Outdated.D. Polite. 15.Which of the following is a suitable title for the text? A. Unbelievable? Music’s Effects Go beyond Cultures B. Problem Solved! How Music Brings Us All Together C. Amazing! Cultures Determine Our Preference for Music D.Universal Language? Culture Matters When We Hear Music 2023-2024 学年度 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 Visit America’s National Parks for Free on These Six Days in 2024 It’s time to plan a visit to your dream national park destination. For a few days each year , every national park in America is free to visit — including hundreds of national monuments, seashores, historic sites and more. Less than a quarter of them have entry fees, but those that do charge up to $20 per person or up to $35 per vehicle. Revenue (收入) from these fees stays in the National Park Service to cover visitor services, including improving accessibility, restoring wildlife habitat and more. “National parks are places that awaken senses, inspire curiosity, encourage reflection, and promote joy,” National Park Service Director Chuck Sams said in a statement. “The entrance fee-free days expand opportunities for people to visit their national parks and experience the beauty and history of our country.” There’s a new addition to the entrance fee-free days in 2024: Juneteenth, which became recognized as a national holiday on June 17, 2021. National park free entry days for 2024: ●Jan. 15 — Martin Luther King, Jr. Day●April 20 — First day of National Park Week ●June 19 — Juneteenth●Aug. 4 — Great American Outdoors Day ●Sept. 28 — National Public Lands Day●Nov. 11 — Veterans Day Fees for certain activities like camping and fishing will still be in place. Additionally, parks operated in partnership with outside parties may charge other types of fees. For instance, Waco Mammoth charges an access fee for its dig shelter. That park is run by the Park Service, together with the City of Waco, Texas, and Baylor University. Visitors can find site-specific details on park websites. 1.What are some national parks’ entrance fees mainly used for? A. Popularizing the country’s history.B. Paying for visitor services. C. Financing visitors during their stay.D. Boosting local economies. 2.When is the national park free entry day for the new addition in 2024? A. April 20.B. June 17.C. June 19.D.

B In a breathtaking incident in Berlin, a young man narrowly escaped a 高二英语试题 第 14 页 共 30 页 life-threatening situation where he became trapped beneath a bus. The 16-year-old found himself unable to move beneath a tyre (轮胎) of the bus when he fell down during an attempt to catch the departing vehicle at a local stop on a Monday afternoon. The quick response of the bus driver, who immediately stopped the vehicle, coupled with the assistance of roughly 40 people, including both passengers and bystanders, led to a remarkable achievement. Together, they managed to lift the right side of the bus sufficiently to free the young man. Frank Kurze, one of the courageous volunteers who participated in the rescue, recalled the messy scene, stating, “I saw the men trying to lift the bus, and it was clear to me that I also had to help lift the bus and try to pull the young man from underneath.” Nearby medical professionals from a healthcare center in the Spandau neighborhood of Berlin instantly arrived at the scene to provide vital first aid. Michelle Rueckborn, one of the nurses on duty, shared their response, saying, “We were at work when we heard screams, and our coworker looked out of the window and saw what had happened, and said ‘Grab the doctor’s kit and run.’” Sandra Grunwald, another nurse present at the scene, added, “He was responsive but understandably confused, unsure of what was unfolding around him.” Despite the frightening circumstances, the young man unbelievably survived with only minor injuries, thanks to the collective effort of around 40 individuals who came together to perform a heroic rescue. The Berlin police department praised the collective efforts of those involved in the rescue as “heroes” and expressed their gratitude on social media, stating, “Thank you, Spandau. Thank you, Berlin.” 4.What was the accident at the bus stop? A. A teenager got caught under a bus.B. The tyre of a bus suddenly blew out. C. A young passenger fell from his seat.D. The driver found the bus uncontrollable. 5.What did Frank Kurze do at the rescue scene? A. He recorded the whole event.B. He stepped forward bravely. C. He turned to medical staff.D. He called more volunteers in. 6.Which of the following best describes the medical professionals? A. Tolerant.B. Creative.C. Patient.D. Decisive. 7.What message does the text try to convey? A. One good turn deserves another.B. Kindness brings mental rewards. C.Many hands make light work.D.Opportunity is for the prepared. C I came across the book Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less from a library app and I can say that after reading, it did not disappoint. The book fits into the personal development category. It talks about how important it is to focus on absolutely important things and remove the unnecessary distractions. The common problem, Greg McKeown says, is spotting the important things. Essentialism means continuously defining where we can create the most value, then finding ways to execute these tasks most effortlessly. 高二英语试题 第 15 页 共 30 页 In Essentialism, McKeown draws on experience and insight from working with the leaders of the most innovative companies in the world to show how to achieve the pursuit of less. More importantly, by applying a more selective standard for what is essential, the pursuit of less allows us to regain control of our own choices so we can channel our time, energy and effort into making the highest possible contribution toward the goals and activities that matter. McKeown further explores the difference between an essentialist and a non-essentialist. He gives fantastic and relatable examples from his life as well as from others to illustrate how functioning as a non-essentialist is harmful for both you and those around you. He says the primary difference in both of them is the one who says yes to everything and the other (the essentialist) says yes only to the things that matter. He also tells that a non-essentialist will commit to everything and put his personal priorities (优先事项 ) on the side while that is opposite in case of the essentialist. Whether it is in work-life or personal life, a non-essentialist will try to do more by quick-fix solutions but an essentialist will focus on removing barriers and nothing else. He also gives us examples of famous people like Mahatma Gandhi who followed essentialism. Finally, the book tells us how to set out the important things in our life — like a routine of 8 hours of sleep, daily journal or playing or relaxing every day to let our minds rest. In today’s fast-paced life, McKeown says, restfulness is a precious escape from the noisy world. 8.What does the underlined word “execute” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Carry out.B. Switch between.C.Watch out for.D. Get away from. 9.What is mainly stressed in paragraph 3? A. The significance of essentialism.B. The inspiration for the book. C. Achievements of essentialists.D. Strategies for pursuing less. 10.Which of the following is a feature of essentialists? A. Commitment to daily work.B. High efficiency in work. C. Positive influence by celebrities.D. Concentration on priorities. 11.What does McKeown suggest people do? A. Avoid tiring work if possible.B. Find meaning in everyday life. C. Take a break when necessary.D. Remain restless and unmotivated. D For years, those looking to generate electricity without using fossil fuels have dreamed of exploring the virtually unlimited heat source that lies 8 kilometres or more beneath Earth’s surface. Previous efforts have been blocked because getting to that heat requires drilling into rock that is too hard for conventional techniques. Now, one possibility involves repurposing an existing technology to dig this source and produce electricity at a lower cost than any existing form of power generation. This isn’t, however, simply a matter of economics. Even if all nations were to meet the commitments that were made under the Paris Agreement on climate change, temperatures are expected to rise by roughly 3℃ by 2100. Digging deep geothermal (地 高二英语试题 第 16 页 共 30 页 热 ) energy has the promise of replacing fossil fuel-powered plants to prevent this disaster. The technology that might enable this, which makes use of millimetre waves, was improved for academic research at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and could provide access to the 400℃ to 500℃ heat that lies several kilometres below Earth’s surface. Obtained through a hole, this heat could produce steam for electricity generation as a zero-carbon alternative for fossil fuels. Millimetre waves are similar to, but vastly more powerful than, the waves used in a microwave oven. Created by a device called a gyrotron, these waves have now been proven to vaporise (汽化 ) rock according to Carlos Araque,CEO of start-up Quaise Energy, which has a licence to commercialise the technology for deep drilling. Combined with conventional drilling, it might be possible to open a hole reaching large amounts of deep heat. The genius of this technology is that it matches existing facilities and expertise, while the biggest difficulty will be delivering and focusing the millimetre waves so deep underground. This challenge can and must be met. Quaise Energy plans to complete a shallow pilot project next year and construct two deep drill holes later. If its approach proves attainable, deep geothermal energy could be employed extremely rapidly. The speed with which a covid-19 vaccine (疫苗 ) was produced showed what the world can do when faced with an emergency. Deep geothermal energy promises to be the equivalent of a vaccine for the climate emergency. 12.Why does the author mention the Paris Agreement in paragraph 2? A. To explain the complexity of climate change. B. To show the urgency for sustainable resources. C. To display the climate crisis caused by humans. D. To prove the accuracy of prediction on temperature. 13.What can millimetre waves be used to do? A. Generate enough powerful steam.B. Transform rock into heat energy. C. Detect the location of deep heat.D. Create holes through hard rock. 14.What can be inferred about Quaise Energy’s plan? A. It’s a hurried decision.B. It’s sort of unrealistic. C. It’s highly anticipated.D. It’s inspired by vaccines. 15.Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Exploring the EarthB. Drilling DeepC. HOT! Wave EnergyD. Heat for Heart! 七选五专题复习 2019-2020 学年度 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。 The Value of the Handwritten Letter In an age when letters appear instantly at the tap of a keyboard, why take up pen and paper?

Sure enough, across the street was Ink Spot cleaning himself in the window of Mrs. Cleary’s sitting room. I couldn’t believe my eyes. He was my cat, not Mrs. Cleary’s. She had already adopted twelve cats. Why must she 高二英语试题 第 28 页 共 30 页 keep my cat？I could feel anger boiling up inside me. Meanwhile, Ink Spot’s leaving without any signs upset me. A sense of being left out hit me hard. Ink Spot was special for me. After my baby sister’s birth, “my” parents’ time was taken by her. It seemed no one in the family cared about or even noticed me. Worse still, I was packed off to a kindergarten. I hated being left out from the bottom of my heart. It was when mom noticed me weeping in a corner one night that things began to change. After that, Ink Spot came into my life. Every night, he curled（卷曲）up beside me in bed and he was there for me after school when I raced home just to be with him. I fell in love with Ink Spot the first time I saw its tiny black and white kitten, for which I called him Ink Spot. Mom and daddy beamed with pleasure as my eyes danced with joy again. It was the first time that I had smiled since my little baby sister came into the family. As for me, he was more than a cat. Actually, he was my life. But today when I came home, Ink Spot was in Mrs. Cleary’s window. I wanted him back. But mom insisted that if Ink Spot stayed at Mrs. Cleary’s, that meant it was where he wanted to be. “No！Mom, Ink Spot is my cat”, I protested wildly but I had to admit the truth of mom’s words. Standing on the sidewalk, I was at a loss as to what to do. Staring at Ink Spot for a while, I couldn’t stand the anger any longer. 注意：1.续写词数应为 150左右；2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I walked towards Mrs. Cleary’s house hurriedly and knocked at the door angrily. _______________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________ Upon seeing me, Ink Spot jumped off the window, running towards me in a flash. _______________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________ 2021-2022学年度 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 Kareem sighed as he counted his money again. He was still short of fifty dollars to buy the latest Speedster X bike. In order to save his pocket money to replace his old bike, he had been packing sandwiches to school the last three months. “How can I get that fifty dollars?” he thought to himself. His mind was wondering when Mother’s voice disturbed his thoughts. “Kareem, I just ran into Aunty Kim, our neighbour who just moved in next door. Her son, Shawn, will cycle to school next week. Could you show him the shortcut to school later? It’s Saturday anyway!” Hearing this, Kareem had no option but to obey it, He knew Mother had probably already volunteered his service to Aunty Kim. “Oh, here’s a mail from your Grandma. Open it!” added Mother. Kareem’s grandmother lived abroad and she would send him photos and cards. He opened the envelope and pulled out a greeting card. Incredibly, a fifty dollar note slipped out as well! Kareem was wild with joy. Waving the note in the air, he shouted happily, “Enough money for my bike!” At 2 p. m. Kareem met Shawn as arranged by their mothers. The sooner he finished this task, the sooner he could go to the bike shop. While the boys were cycling, a squirrel (松鼠) appeared behind a parked car and dashed across the road so suddenly that the 高二英语试题 第 29 页 共 30 页 boys knocked into each other and fell down heavily. Kareem said regretfully, “I forgot to warn you about the squirrel population here.” As Kareem was lifting up his broken bike, Shawn cried anxiously, “Oh, my poor bike! It’s completely broken.” Watching Shawn carrying the disabled bike home in silence, Kareem hurried to the bike shop for his dream bike.

An eight-year-old boy named Glenn Cunningham had the job of coming to school early each day so that he could use kerosene(煤油)to start the fire and warm the room before his teacher and his classmates arrived. One cold morning, someone mistakenly filled the kerosene container he used with gas, and disaster struck. The class and teacher arrived to find the schoolhouse enveloped in a big fire. Terrified on realizing that Glenn was inside, they rushed in and managed to drag the unconscious(无意识的)little boy out of the flaming building more dead than alive. He had major burns over the lower half of his body and was rushed to a nearby county hospital. From his bed, the seriously burned, half-conscious little boy faintly heard the doctor talking to his heart-broken mother. The doctor told his mother that her son would surely die-which might be for the best, really-for the terrible fire had ruined the lower half of his body. From the waist down, Glenn had no ability to move at all. His thin, scarred legs just hung there, all but lifeless. But the brave boy didn’t want to die. Glenn made up his mind that he would survive. And somehow, to the amazement of the physician, he did survive. Returning home, Glenn was seen either in a wheelchair or in bed. One sunny day his mother wheeled him out into the yard to get some fresh air. Over the grass and the strong white fence bordering their lot, he watched other boys playing joyfully. He couldn’t help looking back on the happy days before the disaster. With his thoughts wandering back to those old golden memories, this brave little boy made up his mind. 注意：1. 续写词数应为 150左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Instead of sitting there, he threw himself from the wheelchair. _______________________________________________________________________ 高二英语试题 第 30 页 共 30 页 _______________________________________________________________________ Glenn began to run to school. __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ 2023-2024 学年度 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完成的短文。 Mya finished playing a Christmas carol (颂歌) and looked up at her piano teacher. “You played that very well,” Ms. Jackson said. “How would you like to join some of the other students and play carols at the shopping center this Saturday afternoon?” “I can’t,” Mya said quickly. “Lots of kids are shy,” Ms. Jackson said, “but the best way to overcome your fear of playing in public is by actually doing what scares you. Remember, our art festival is going to be right after Christmas. You’ll have to play in front of an audience then. Playing at the shopping center this weekend would be great practice.” “I’m sorry. I can’t be there,” Mya went on. “My great-grandmother invited my family to the Christmas party at her retirement community that afternoon.” Mya didn’t add that she was relieved to have an excuse not to have to play at the shopping center. The thought of playing piano with so many people around made her stomach clench into a knot. On Saturday morning, as Mya helped Mom and Dad wrap presents for Great-Grandma, she thought about her friends playing the piano at the shopping center. She pictured hundreds of shoppers hanging around and listening while going from store to store. Some of them would take breaks from shopping to sit on benches and watch the piano players. “I’m so glad I won’t be there,” she thought to herself. When Mya and her parents arrived at the retirement community, they greeted Great-Grandma with hugs and wishes for a merry Christmas. Mrs. Carmen, the party activities director, showed a short holiday movie first. Then they played games, and the residents opened their gifts. “We usually end by singing Christmas carols,” Mrs. Carmen said. “But our pianoplayer wasn’t able to make it today.” “Mya plays the piano,” Great-Grandma announced, smiling proudly. “Wonderful,” Mrs. Carmen said. She smiled at Mya. “Mya, would you like to play while we sing? It would be such a help.” 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。 Mya was about to say she couldn’t do it. _______________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________ She sat down on the bench and played “Silent Night”. _______________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________
