In total, she ran 104 marathons in 104 days. If it’s confirmed by Guinness World Records, that would be a new world record. And she did it all with one leg and a prosthesis (假肢). “Someone able-bodied had done it previously. I wanted to see if I could do it on a prosthetic leg and see what would happen,” she said. “I thought it would be a great way to inspire others to push their limits because I truly believe that we’re stronger than what we think. And I’ve been so pleasantly surprised that my body has held up. everything has held up and I’ve made it to 104.” She actually did not pick up the sport until after she lost the lower part of her left leg in 2001 to a type of cancer called Ewing sarcoma. Runners using a prosthetic leg can’t use a regular one. They need a running blade (刀锋式跑步义肢). Hunt-Broersma has two, but she was only able to run with one because of the swelling she experienced in her left leg that made it impossible to connect to the other blade. But even with the pain that occurred, she has been able to put up with it and continued. All together, Hunt-Broersma ran over 4,385 kilometers. During that time she has had a lot of time to think and has learned a few things about herself. “It has taught me how strong one can be and how important absolute determination is. If you’re mentally strong, you can do anything,” she said. “And our bodies are just amazing... This whole journey was impressive and super hard, but it’s told me how strong I can be as a person and how far I can push myself.” 4. Why did Hunt-Broersma decide to run marathons? A. She wanted to set a new record. B. She was driven by her interest C. She intended to challenge herself. D. She was inspired by people like her 5. What difficulty did Hunt-Broersma meet with? A. She didn’t get professional training. B. She found it hard to keep her balance C. She suffered discomfort in her left leg D. She couldn’t use regular running blades 6. What message does the author express through the story? A. Rome wasn’t built in a day. B. Time works wonders. C. A good beginning is half the battle. D. Nothing is impossible to a willing heart. 7. What may be the author’s attitude towards Hunt-Brocrsma? A. Annoyed. B. Admiring. C. Sympathetic. D. Critical. ★C Animals being extinct from the Earth is a serious issue. When this happens in order to use their fur or skin for fashion, it is even worse, since it’s not even for a matter of human survival. That’s why a London zoo decided to make a powerful statement at the Siamese crocodile enclosure (鳄鱼围栏). When visitors come in expecting to see a crocodile, they’re greeted with the handbag instead, making a very effective and powerful point about illegal wildlife trade and the harm it takes on the species involved. A sign by the enclosure reads, “This bag used to be found swimming in slow-moving rivers and streams across Southeast Asia and Indonesia. Over the last 75 years, more than 80% of Siamese crocodiles have disappeared. Many, like this one, were hunted for their skins as part of the illegal wildlife trade.”. Native to parts of Southeast Asia, Siamese crocodiles are critically endangered and have become virtually extinct in the wild. Due to hunting as well as habitat loss, they are now absent from nearly 99% of their original range. A huge part of the decline of population is due to humans using their wetland habitat for rice farming, and things only took a turn for the worse when large-scale hunting for their skin for commercial purposes began in the 1950s. The particular handbag that is on display at the zoo was confiscated at a UK airport, according to Benjamin Tapley, leader of reptiles and amphibians at ZSL London Zoo. Tapley told The Huffington Post, “We made this exhibit, within ZSL London Zoo’s Reptile House, to draw visitors’ attention to the destructive impact the Illegal Wildlife Trade (IWT) is having on species around the world. At ZSL, we are working globally with governments and local communities to protect wildlife, support law enforcement (执法) that targets illegal trade networks, empower local communities affected by IWT and reduce demand for threatened wildlife.” 8. Why does the sign say this handbag used to swim? A. It is made of a crocodile’s skin. B. It is made into a crocodile shape. C. It is light enough to float on water. D. It was kept in flowing river at first. 9. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. Wildly hunting of Siamese crocodiles. B Destruction of Siamese crocodiles’ habitats. C. Commercial value of Siamese crocodiles. D. Causes to make Siamese crocodiles endangered. 10. What does the underlined word “confiscated” in paragraph 5 mean? A. Seized. B. Sold. C. Found. D. Stolen. 11. What does Tapley’s words focus on? A. The importance of wildlife protection. B. The crisis endangered animals are facing. C. The purpose to show the handbag. D. The harm IWT caused. D Climate models can give us a preview of how humanity’s actions — or inaction — will change our planet over the coming decades and centuries. But because the planet is such a complex system, they aren’t perfect climate models have uncertainties that grow larger as they go farther into the future. Scientists and engineers from across the country are teaming up to build a new type of climate model that is designed to provide more precise and actionable predictions. Current climate modeling relies on dividing up the globe into a grid (格子) and then computing what is going on in each sector of the grid, as well a show the sectors interact with each other. Limitations in available computer processing power mean that those sectors generally cannot be any smaller than tens of kilometers per side. But for climate modeling, the devil is in the details — details that get missed in a too-large grid. “For cities planning their stormwater management facilities to resist the next 100 years’ worth of floods, this is a serious issue. Concrete answers about the likely range of climate outcomes are key for planning.” says Tapio Schneider, senior research scientist at CliMA. Weighing recent advances in the computational and data sciences, the team plans to step incandesce of the partners brings a different strength and research expertise to the project. “Our goal is a new model that projects future changes in critical variables such as cloud cover, sea ice extent, and rainfall more accurately—with uncertainties at least half the size of those in existing models.” said Dr. Andrew, the team leader. One doubter about the application of climate models is Raffaele Ferrari, a Cecil and Ida Green Professor of Oceanography at MIT. “Using a model, we become puppeteers, masters of a giant system that is, in truth, beyond human control. We can cool or heat the planet at will, add salt or ice or rain or dust in any amount we want,” Dr. Ferrari says. “We have no backup planet. How climate models are used remains to be seen.” 12. Why are climate models built? A. To collect scientific data. B. To monitor human actions. C. To deliver useful forecasts. D. To maintain social systems. 13. What is the problem of current climate modeling? A. Shortage of facilities. B. Reliance on computers. C. Inability to get smaller grids. D. Limitation in simplifying details. 14. What does the team aim to do? A. Investigate serious issues. B. Guarantee the safety of the city. C. Change the future climate. D. Improve the accuracy of the models. 15. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Climate models enjoys great popularity. B. Scientists have created a new climate model. C. Doubts about climate models are disappearing. D Caution is advised in the use of climate models. 第二节（共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Culture is one of the most important concepts within sociology because sociologists recognize that it plays a crucial role in our social lives. ___16___ Sociologists define the non-material aspects of culture as the values and beliefs, language, communication and practices that are shared in common by a group of people.

Her name was Mrs. Thompson. And as she stood in front of the 5th grade class on the very first day of school, she told the children a lie. Like most teachers, she looked at her students and said that she loved them all the same. But that was impossible because there in the front row, slumped (萎靡不振) in his seat, was a little boy named Teddy Stoddard. Mrs. Thompson had watched Teddy the year before and noticed that he didn’t play well with the other children, his clothes were messy and constantly needed a bath. And, Teddy could be unpleasant. It got to the point where Mrs. Thompson would actually take delight in making his papers with a red pen, making bold Xs and then putting a “F” at the top of his papers. At the school where Mrs. Thompson taught, she was required to relieve each child’s past records and she put Teddy’s off until last. However, when she relieved his file, she was surprised, Teddy’s first grade teacher wrote, “Teddy is a bright child with a ready laugh. He does his work neatly and has good manners. . . he is a joy to be around.” His second grade teacher wrote, “Teddy is an excellent student, well liked by his classmates. But he is troubled because his mother has a terminal illness (绝症) and life at home must be a struggle.” His third grade teacher wrote, “His mother’s death has been hard on him. He tried to do his best but his father doesn’t show much interest in him, and his home life will be in trouble.” Teddy’s fourth grade teacher wrote, “Teddy is withdrawn and doesn’t show much interest in school. He doesn’t have many friends and sometimes sleeps in class.” By now, Mrs. Thompson realized the problem and she was ashamed of herself. She felt even worse when her students brought her Christmas presents, wrapped in beautiful paper and tied with pretty ribbons, except for Teddy’s. His present was clumsily wrapped in the heavy, brown paper that he got from a grocery bag. 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。 Mrs. Thompson opened it in the middle of the other presents. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After the children left, she cried for at least an hour. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力1-20CAABCACACBABACACABAB 长郡中学2024年高二暑假作业检测试卷 英语 时量：120分钟 满分：150分 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。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 例：How much is the shirt?

I’ve gathered lots of suggestions from our class as you required. Hopefully, our tips can be of help. When it comes to our favorite topics, we find those concerning campus life in your country the most appealing. For example, topics ranging from school clubs to sports activities will surely arouse our interest. As for the final exam, accustomed to an oral one with a foreign teacher testing every one of us in turn, we’re wondering if there could be a different way to evaluate our competence, whether it’s a group presentation, a debate or a drama performance. Thank you for taking our suggestions into consideration. We hope that we’ll have a good time together. Yours sincerely, Li Hua ★第二节（满分25分） 【47题答案】 【答案】 Mrs. Thompson opened it in the middle of the other presents. Inside, she found a small, well carved wooden jewelry box, its edges worn but polished with evident care. Lying within was a simple necklace, a single pearl suspended on a delicate chain. Attached was a note, Teddy’s handwriting scrawled across it: “Mrs. Thompson, you are my shining pearl. Thank you for being my teacher.” Overwhelmed by the heartfelt gesture from the child she had so harshly judged, tears welled up in her eyes. She managed a smile and thanked Teddy, who beamed back at her with a rare twinkle of hope. After the children left, she cried for at least an hour. The weight of her misjudgment and the realization of Teddy’s immense pain crushed her heart. She vowed to be the teacher Teddy deserved.
