In his spare  time though he goes on stage beside pianist Maria Raspopova — not as a musician but as her page turner. “I’m not a trained musician, but I’ve learnt to read music so I can help Maria in her performance.” Mr Titterton is chairman of the Omega Ensemble but has been the group’s official page turner for the past four years. His job is to sit beside the pianist and turn the pages of the score so the musician doesn’t have to break the flow of sound by doing it themselves. He said he became just as nervous as those playing instruments on stage. “A lot of skills are needed for the job. You have to make sure you don’t turn two pages at once and make sure you find the repeats in the music when you have to go back to the right spot.” Mr Titterton explained. Being a page turner requires plenty of practice. Some pieces of music can go for 40 minutes and require up to 50 page turns, including back turns for repeat passages. Silent onstage communication is key, and each pianist has their own style of “nodding” to indicate a page turn which they need to practise with their page turner. But like all performances, there are moments when things go wrong. “I was turning the page to get ready for the next page, but the draft wind from the turn caused the spare pages to fall off the stand,” Mr Titterton said, “Luckily I was able to catch them and put them back.” Most page turners are piano students or up-and-coming concert pianists, although Ms Raspopova has once asked her husband to help her out on stage. “My husband is the worst page turner,” she laughed. “He’s interested in the music, feeling every note, and I have to say: ‘Turn, turn!’ Robert is the best page turner I’ve had in my entire life.” 4. What should Titterton be able to do to be a page turner? A. Read music. B. Play the piano. C. Sing songs. D. Fix the instruments. 5. Which of the following best describes Titterton’s job on stage? A. Boring. B. Well-paid. C. Demanding. D. Dangerous. 6. What does Titterton need to practise? A. Counting the pages. B. Recognizing the “nodding”. C. Catching falling objects. D. Performing in his own style. 7. Why is Ms Raspopova’s husband “the worst page turner”? A. He has very poor eyesight. B. He ignores the audience. C. He has no interest in music. D. He forgets to do his job. C I came across an image recently of a distance runner with a message that told readers to persevere (坚持) at all costs. It reminded me of a conversation I had. My colleague’s teaching assistant was asking for my advice. He wanted to know when to quit something. He described how he’d been playing an online game with people for some time. It hadn’t been very fun lately, but there was always that small chance of a reward (upgraded equipment, etc). I inquired further about his relationship with the players and his gains from the game. I then discussed the sunk cost dilemma, a concept I studied in advanced school due to its personal impact. In high school, I applied to five universities, planning to choose the cheapest one. SUU offered the best scholarship, and after paying a $100 commitment fee, I heard back from another school with an even better scholarship. Despite the new offer, I stayed committed to SUU, believing that switching schools, even if it meant acknowledging the “wasted” $ 100, would have been the wiser financial choice. A rational (理性的) decision maker is not ruled by past investments, but weighs future outcomes. I didn’t focus on future outcomes when weighing colleges. I focused on the money I sunk into SUU. Rather than evaluating future career options, I focused on the fact that I’d already taken elementary education courses. I’m not the only one that’s fallen prey to this. I wear clothes I dislike simply because I spent money on them (and that money won’t come back). Unhealthy relationships last because of the invested time (leading to more unhappy years). However, time, effort, or money that you’ve invested doesn’t mean you should continue. Society often stresses perseverance — never quit, never give up, don’t waste. However, only you know your right path. Walking away can be the toughest choice. You might realize a path you’re on is no longer the right one or never was. 8. Why does the author introduce a distance runner’s image at first? A. To make a contrast. B. To give a definition. C. To draw a conclusion. D. To illustrate a theory. 9 What is the common characteristic of a rational decision maker? A. Following suit as most people. B. Taking elementary education. C. Valuing the development in future. D. Overlooking past investments. 10. What does the underlined idiom “fallen prey to” mean in the last paragraph? A. Get benefits from. B. Be harmed by. C. Be interested in. D. Get rid of. 11. Which is the best title of the text? A. Perseverance is a virtue B. The chosen path is the toughest C. Cut your losses for your winners D. Walking away means losing all D The days of staring at the computer screen pretending to be interested in an assignment even though you are bored out of your mind may soon be coming to an end. That's because if Dr Harry Witchel, Discipline Leader in Physiology at England's Brighton and Sussex Medical School, has his way, computers of the future will be able to detect boredom and even react to it real-time. But before you get concerned, the machine is not reading your mind. It is just keeping track of the constant involuntary（无意识的）movements that people exhibit when in front of a computer or even a television. These are not the bigger instrumental actions like moving a mouse or using the remote, but barely noticeable movements like scratching, fidgeting, or stretching. Witchel says the level of movement is directly linked to how absorbed the person is in what he or she is reading or watching. The higher the interest level. the less the movement! To test the theory, Witchel and his team invited 27 people and exposed them to a variety of digital content for three minutes at a time. The activities ranged from playing online games to reading documents like the banking regulations that most people would find boring. A video motion tracker monitored their movements as they powered through each assignment. Just as the researchers had expected, the involuntary actions decreased dramatically, by as much as 42%, when the participants were totally absorbed in what they were reading or seeing. Fortunately, the scientists are not planning to use the findings to create machines that report students who are not focusing at school. Instead, they believe that combining the motion detecting technology with future computers will help enhance the digital learning experience. The scientists say that being able to measure the students' interest level will enable educators to adjust the materials real-time and re-engage the students. Witchel also believes that the technology can provide filmmakers with honest audience opinions. 12. According to Dr Harry, what will future computers be able to do? A. Keep a learner from distraction. B. Help a learner with his assignments. C. Read a learner's mind exactly real-time. D. Identify dullness of a learner and respond to it. 13. How does an absorbed learner tend to behave? A. Laugh and shout excitedly. B. Use less energy in an assignment. C. Perform fewer involuntary actions. D. Show noticeable movements constantly. 14. What is the value of this technology for educators? A. Bettering their digital learning experience. B. Introducing more computers into class. C. Finding the absent-minded students in class. D. Detecting what interests the students most. 15. What is the author's purpose in writing the text? A. To introduce an upcoming technology. B. To update educators' teaching concept. C. To show what learning will be like in the future. D. To explain how life will be shaped by technology. 第二节 （共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，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。 How to Show emotion If anyone has ever told you to “open up more” or “show some emotion” you may wonder what they really meant.

How she hoped her parents would give her a pair! In vain (徒劳) her mother explained that Brenda might not learn to use them as easily as other children, and that she might fall many times and perhaps hurt herself before she could skate properly. Brenda wanted skates and that was that. She thought about skates all day and dreamed about skates all night. She pictured herself skating to school and home, skating to the stores for Mother, and skating all over the yard. Her birthday came at last, and with it the precious package which she had been eager for. Before she opened it, she guessed there were skates inside. And there were — beautiful new shiny skates. Just her size, too. Brenda was on cloud nine. She felt she had never been so happy in all her life. And now it was time to practice with them. Hardly was breakfast over when she was out on the smooth concrete(水泥地).“At last,”she thought,“I am going to skate! Hooray!” Excitedly she put on her precious pairs of skates and eagerly she stood up. But only for a moment. Suddenly, to her great surprise, away went both her feet from under her. Down she went. Brenda stood up again. But hardly had she put one foot forward, when the other started running backward, and down she went again. This really hurt, and Brenda felt very much like crying. Slowly she got up once more despite the pain and started to walk with great care. But before she knew what was going on, she was sitting on the concrete again. She felt very sad, tears filling her eyes. All her hopes of skating to school and town like the other girls disappeared. She began to wish she had never asked for skates for her birthday. She cried, taking off the skates from her feet and throwing them inside the back door. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； Mother saw all this and asked Brenda what was wrong. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Slowly Brenda put on the skates, got up and tried again. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 株洲市二中2024年下学期高二年级入学考试试卷 英语试题 时量：120分钟 总分：150分 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 （共5小题，每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项，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。 例：How much is the shirt?

In his spare  time though he goes on stage beside pianist Maria Raspopova — not as a musician but as her page turner. “I’m not a trained musician, but I’ve learnt to read music so I can help Maria in her performance.” Mr Titterton is chairman of the Omega Ensemble but has been the group’s official page turner for the past four years. His job is to sit beside the pianist and turn the pages of the score so the musician doesn’t have to break the flow of sound by doing it themselves. He said he became just as nervous as those playing instruments on stage. “A lot of skills are needed for the job. You have to make sure you don’t turn two pages at once and make sure you find the repeats in the music when you have to go back to the right spot.” Mr Titterton explained. Being a page turner requires plenty of practice. Some pieces of music can go for 40 minutes and require up to 50 page turns, including back turns for repeat passages. Silent onstage communication is key, and each pianist has their own style of “nodding” to indicate a page turn which they need to practise with their page turner. But like all performances, there are moments when things go wrong. “I was turning the page to get ready for the next page, but the draft wind from the turn caused the spare pages to fall off the stand,” Mr Titterton said, “Luckily I was able to catch them and put them back.” Most page turners are piano students or up-and-coming concert pianists, although Ms Raspopova has once asked her husband to help her out on stage. “My husband is the worst page turner,” she laughed. “He’s interested in the music, feeling every note, and I have to say: ‘Turn, turn!’ Robert is the best page turner I’ve had in my entire life.” 4. What should Titterton be able to do to be a page turner? A. Read music. B. Play the piano. C. Sing songs. D. Fix the instruments. 5. Which of the following best describes Titterton’s job on stage? A. Boring. B. Well-paid. C. Demanding. D. Dangerous. 6. What does Titterton need to practise? A. Counting the pages. B. Recognizing the “nodding”. C. Catching falling objects. D. Performing in his own style. 7. Why is Ms Raspopova’s husband “the worst page turner”? A. He has very poor eyesight. B. He ignores the audience. C. He has no interest in music. D. He forgets to do his job. 【答案】4. A 5. C 6. B 7. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了为钢琴演奏者做翻页工作的Robert Titterton和他的工作情况。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“I’m not a trained musician, but I’ve learnt to read music so I can help Maria in her performance.(我不是受过训练的音乐家，但我学会了识谱，这样我就可以在Maria的表演中帮助她)”可知，因为Titterton识谱，所以可以在Maria的钢琴表演中为她翻页。故选A项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“A lot of skills are needed for the job. You have to make sure you don’t turn two pages at once and make sure you find the repeats in the music when you have to go back to the right spot.(这项工作需要很多技能。你必须确保你不会一次翻两页并且必要的时候确保你回到前面找到音乐重复的部分)”可知，为钢琴家翻页这项工作很需要技巧，所以Titterton的工作要求是很高的。故选C项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Silent onstage communication is key, and each pianist has their own style of “nodding” to indicate a page turn which they need to practise with their page turner.(无声的舞台交流是关键，每个钢琴家都有自己的“点头”风格来表示翻页，他们需要和翻页者进行练习)”可知，Titterton需要练习识别钢琴演奏者的“点头”示意来翻页。故选B项。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“He’s interested in the music, feeling every note, and I have to say: ‘Turn, turn!’(他对音乐很感兴趣，感受着每一个音符，所以我不得不说：“翻页，翻页！”)”可知，Ms Raspopova的丈夫因为对音乐感兴趣，所以帮她翻页的时候总是沉浸在音乐中而忘掉自己的工作，她不得不去提醒。故选D项。 C I came across an image recently of a distance runner with a message that told readers to persevere (坚持) at all costs. It reminded me of a conversation I had. My colleague’s teaching assistant was asking for my advice. He wanted to know when to quit something. He described how he’d been playing an online game with people for some time. It hadn’t been very fun lately, but there was always that small chance of a reward (upgraded equipment, etc). I inquired further about his relationship with the players and his gains from the game. I then discussed the sunk cost dilemma, a concept I studied in advanced school due to its personal impact. In high school, I applied to five universities, planning to choose the cheapest one. SUU offered the best scholarship, and after paying a $100 commitment fee, I heard back from another school with an even better scholarship. Despite the new offer, I stayed committed to SUU, believing that switching schools, even if it meant acknowledging the “wasted” $ 100, would have been the wiser financial choice. A rational (理性的) decision maker is not ruled by past investments, but weighs future outcomes. I didn’t focus on future outcomes when weighing colleges. I focused on the money I sunk into SUU. Rather than evaluating future career options, I focused on the fact that I’d already taken elementary education courses. I’m not the only one that’s fallen prey to this. I wear clothes I dislike simply because I spent money on them (and that money won’t come back). Unhealthy relationships last because of the invested time (leading to more unhappy years). However, time, effort, or money that you’ve invested doesn’t mean you should continue. Society often stresses perseverance — never quit, never give up, don’t waste. However, only you know your right path. Walking away can be the toughest choice. You might realize a path you’re on is no longer the right one or never was. 8. Why does the author introduce a distance runner’s image at first? A. To make a contrast. B. To give a definition. C. To draw a conclusion. D. To illustrate a theory. 9. What is the common characteristic of a rational decision maker? A. Following suit as most people. B. Taking elementary education. C. Valuing the development in future. D. Overlooking past investments. 10. What does the underlined idiom “fallen prey to” mean in the last paragraph? A. Get benefits from. B. Be harmed by. C. Be interested in. D. Get rid of. 11. Which is the best title of the text? A. Perseverance is a virtue B. The chosen path is the toughest C. Cut your losses for your winners D. Walking away means losing all 【答案】8. A 9. C 10. B 11. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇夹叙夹议文，本文主要讨论了在决策时如何理性地考虑放弃，而不是盲目地坚持。作者通过个人经历和身边的例子，讨论了沉没成本谬误对决策的影响，并强调了决策时应当关注未来的收益而非过去的投入。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。第一段中“I came across an image recently of a distance runner with a message that told readers to persevere (坚持) at all costs.(最近，我看到了一张长跑运动员的照片，上面写着一句话，告诉读者要不惜一切代价坚持下去)”作者引用跑步者的形象并提出“坚持到底”的信息是为了与文章中讨论的主题形成对比，即有时放弃是更合理的选择。因此，A项“为了形成对比”是正确答案。故选A。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。第三段中“A rational (理性的) decision maker is not ruled by past investments, but weighs future outcomes.(理性的决策者不会被过去的投资所左右，而是权衡未来的结果)”指出他们不会受过去投资的影响，而是会权衡未来的结果。因此，C项“重视未来的发展”是正确答案。故选C。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。下文“I wear clothes I dislike simply because I spent money on them (and that money won’t come back). Unhealthy relationships last be- cause of the invested time (leading to more unhappy years).(我穿我不喜欢的衣服只是因为我花钱买的（而且这些钱不会再回来了）。不健康的关系之所以能持续下去，是因为投入了时间（导致更不快乐的岁月）”作者提到人们因为已经投入了时间、金钱或努力，即使不喜欢，也会继续穿一些衣服，或者维持不健康的关系。这表明“fall prey to”指的是受到某种事情的不良影响，因此B项“被……害”是正确答案。故选B。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文内容，结合最后一段中“Society often stresses perseverance — never quit, never give up, don’t waste. However, only you know your right path. Walking away can be the toughest choice. You might realize a path you’re on is no longer the right one or never was.(社会经常强调毅力——永不放弃，永不放弃，不浪费。然而，只有你自己知道正确道路。离开可能是最艰难的选择。你可能会意识到你所走的道路不再是正确的，或者从来就不是)”可知，全文通过作者个人的例子以及对沉没成本谬误的讨论，指出了在合适的时候割舍损失的智慧，而不是盲目坚持。因此，C项“及时割舍损失是明智的”最能概括文章的中心思想。故选C。 D The days of staring at the computer screen pretending to be interested in an assignment even though you are bored out of your mind may soon be coming to an end. That's because if Dr Harry Witchel, Discipline Leader in Physiology at England's Brighton and Sussex Medical School, has his way, computers of the future will be able to detect boredom and even react to it real-time. But before you get concerned, the machine is not reading your mind. It is just keeping track of the constant involuntary（无意识的）movements that people exhibit when in front of a computer or even a television. These are not the bigger instrumental actions like moving a mouse or using the remote, but barely noticeable movements like scratching, fidgeting, or stretching. Witchel says the level of movement is directly linked to how absorbed the person is in what he or she is reading or watching. The higher the interest level. the less the movement! To test the theory, Witchel and his team invited 27 people and exposed them to a variety of digital content for three minutes at a time. The activities ranged from playing online games to reading documents like the banking regulations that most people would find boring. A video motion tracker monitored their movements as they powered through each assignment. Just as the researchers had expected, the involuntary actions decreased dramatically, by as much as 42%, when the participants were totally absorbed in what they were reading or seeing. Fortunately, the scientists are not planning to use the findings to create machines that report students who are not focusing at school. Instead, they believe that combining the motion detecting technology with future computers will help enhance the digital learning experience. The scientists say that being able to measure the students' interest level will enable educators to adjust the materials real-time and re-engage the students. Witchel also believes that the technology can provide filmmakers with honest audience opinions. 12. According to Dr Harry, what will future computers be able to do? A. Keep a learner from distraction. B. Help a learner with his assignments. C. Read a learner's mind exactly real-time. D. Identify dullness of a learner and respond to it. 13. How does an absorbed learner tend to behave? A. Laugh and shout excitedly. B. Use less energy in an assignment. C. Perform fewer involuntary actions. D. Show noticeable movements constantly. 14. What is the value of this technology for educators? A. Bettering their digital learning experience. B. Introducing more computers into class. C. Finding the absent-minded students in class. D. Detecting what interests the students most. 15. What is the author's purpose in writing the text? A. To introduce an upcoming technology. B. To update educators' teaching concept. C To show what learning will be like in the future. D. To explain how life will be shaped by technology. 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. D 15. A 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一种未来的计算机，这种计算机可以记录人们在电脑甚至电视前所表现出的持续的无意识的运动，探测出人们何时感到厌烦，注意力减退，甚至还可以做出实时反应。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“if Dr Harry Witchel, Discipline Leader in Physiology at England's Brighton and Sussex Medical School, has his way, computers of the future will be able to detect boredom and even react to it real-time.(如果英国布莱顿和苏塞克斯医学院生理学学科负责人哈里·威奇尔博士能够如愿以偿，未来的计算机将能够发现无聊，甚至实时做出反应。)”可知，Dr. Harry Witchel希望未来的电脑将能够探测到无聊感，甚至做出实时反应。故选D。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Just as the researchers had expected, the involuntary actions decreased dramatically, by as much as 42%, when the participants were totally absorbed in what they were reading or seeing.( 正如研究人员所预期的那样，当受试者完全沉浸在他们所读或所看的内容中时，无意识行为出人意料地减少了42%。)”可知，一个专注的学习者常常会减少无意识动作。故选C。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段的“The scientists say that being able to measure the students' interest level will enable educators to adjust the materials real-time and re-engage the students.( 科学家们说，如果能够测量学生的兴趣水平，将使教育工作者能够实时调整材料，并重新吸引学生。)”可知，这项科技对于教育工作者的价值是能够发现学生们最感兴趣的东西。故选D。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段的“computers of the future will be able to detect boredom and even react to it real-time(未来的计算机将能够发现无聊，甚至实时做出反应)”和第二段的“It is just keeping track of the constant involuntary（无意识的）movements that people exhibit when in front of a computer or even a television.(它只是记录人们在电脑甚至电视前表现出的无意识的运动。)”和下文内容可知，文章介绍了一种未来的计算机，这种计算机可以记录人们在电脑甚至电视前所表现出的持续的无意识的运动，探测出人们何时感到厌烦，注意力减退，甚至还可以做出实时反应。因此推断作者的写作目的是介绍一种未来的科技。故选A。 第二节 （共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，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。 How to Show emotion If anyone has ever told you to “open up more” or “show some emotion” you may wonder what they really meant.

How she hoped her parents would give her a pair! In vain (徒劳) her mother explained that Brenda might not learn to use them as easily as other children, and that she might fall many times and perhaps hurt herself before she could skate properly. Brenda wanted skates and that was that. She thought about skates all day and dreamed about skates all night. She pictured herself skating to school and home, skating to the stores for Mother, and skating all over the yard. Her birthday came at last, and with it the precious package which she had been eager for. Before she opened it, she guessed there were skates inside. And there were — beautiful new shiny skates. Just her size, too. Brenda was on cloud nine. She felt she had never been so happy in all her life. And now it was time to practice with them. Hardly was breakfast over when she was out on the smooth concrete(水泥地).“At last,”she thought,“I am going to skate! Hooray!” Excitedly she put on her precious pairs of skates and eagerly she stood up. But only for a moment. Suddenly, to her great surprise, away went both her feet from under her. Down she went. Brenda stood up again. But hardly had she put one foot forward, when the other started running backward, and down she went again. This really hurt, and Brenda felt very much like crying. Slowly she got up once more despite the pain and started to walk with great care. But before she knew what was going on, she was sitting on the concrete again. She felt very sad, tears filling her eyes. All her hopes of skating to school and town like the other girls disappeared. She began to wish she had never asked for skates for her birthday. She cried, taking off the skates from her feet and throwing them inside the back door. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； Mother saw all this and asked Brenda what was wrong. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Slowly Brenda put on the skates, got up and tried again. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Mother saw all this and asked Brenda what was wrong. “I just can't do it,” Brenda sobbed, “I'm just no good at skating.” Hearing what her daughter said, Mother sat down beside her and said genteelly, “You know, Brenda, everyone falls when they first start to skate. It's part of learning. The important thing is to keep trying. Try another time and I am sure you can do it” She gently wiped away Brenda's tears and encouraged her to try again. Slowly Brenda put on the skates, got up and tried again. With each attempt, she fell less frequently and with less force. Her mother cheered her on, offering tips and praise. Eventually, Brenda managed to glide a few feet without falling. Her face lit up with a smile, “I did it, Mom! ” she exclaimed. Mother hugged her, “Yes, you did! And you'll do even better tomorrow. ” The skates, once a source of frustration, now symbolized a lesson in perseverance and the joy of accomplishment. 【解析】 【导语】本文以Brenda学习滑冰的经历为线索展开，讲述了她从渴望得到滑冰鞋，到初次尝试失败，再到最终在母亲的鼓励下重新尝试并取得进步的过程。 【详解】段落续写： 由第一段首句内容“母亲看到了这一切，问Brenda怎么了。”可知，第一段可描写Brenda向母亲表达她的挫败感和自我怀疑，以及母亲给予她的鼓励和支持。 由第二段首句内容“Brenda慢慢地穿上滑冰鞋，站起来再试一次。”可知，第二段可描写Brenda在母亲的鼓励下再次尝试，逐渐取得进步，并最终感受到成功的喜悦。 续写线索：表达挫败感——母亲的鼓励——再次尝试——逐渐进步——成功喜悦 词汇激活 行为类 对……擅长：be good at/be expert at 给予鼓励：encourage/offer support 再次尝试：try again /make another attempt 情绪类 感到沮丧：feel frustrated/feel discouraged 感到高兴：feel happy/be delighted 【点睛】[高分句型1].
