B When Collen Telfer moved to Monash with her two daughters,none of them expected just how much it would change their lives. It started with buying the small town's general store and ended with the Telfers volunteering together at a South Australian fire brigade(消防队). In the first two years of the store,she would see the Monash Country Fire Service (CFS) engines fly past,located just across the road.Whether they were getting into the trucks at a moment's notice or coming into her shop for a feed,she got to know the brigade and decided to join them. Her desire to give back was shared by her 20-year-old daughter,Lara.“When the siren(警报 器 )would go off,I used to hate missing out,”Lara said.The pair joined in February last year,and about a year later they were joined by Colleen's youngest daughter,18-year-old Sophie. As a senior volunteer firefighter,Colleen's responsibilities have grown to include driving the brigade's trucks.“I know it is often male-dominated,but don't look at it like that.Females are just as good as males in any role,”Colleen said In November 2021,Georgie Cornish became the first woman to be appointed chief officer for the CFS.Ms.Cornish said there were still misconceptions that women might find it hard to do some jobs.“Women are sometimes better suited to some of those roles,"”she said.“It's very easy for us to assume that strength is everything we need in a firefighter.It's not.Sometimes it's agility and nimbleness(敏捷性和灵活性)that we actually need in the jobs we're going to.” Being part of something greater has strengthened the Telfers' mother-daughter connections in more ways than one.“As a mother,you do worry about your children,but we're not there by ourselves,”Colleen said.“We've always got other firefighters around who can help us.” 24.What did Colleen decide to do after moving to Monash? A.Sell off her local store B.Become a truck driver. C.Join CFS as a volunteer D.Set up a volunteer fire brigade. 25.What is Lara's attitude toward Colleen's decision? A.Supportive. B.Doubtful. C.Uninterested. D.Thankful. 26.Which statement would Cormish agree with? A.Women are more likely to get hurt in fires. B.Women are less interested in physical work. C.Women are well aware of other people's feelings. D.Women are capable of performing firefighting duties. 27.Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A.Celebrate women's contributions to fire safety B.Meet the family fighting fires and misconceptions C.The real challenge of being a professional firefighter D.The continuing rise of female leadership in firefighting C You are what you eat and what you eat may be encoded in your DNA.Studies have indicated that your genes play a role in determining the foods you find delicious or disgusting.But exactly how big a role they play has been difficult to figure out.“Everything has a genetic component even if it's small,"says Joanne Cole,a geneticist at the University of Colorado School of Medicine.“We know that there is some genetic contribution to why we eat the foods we eat. Can we take the next step and actually locate the regions in the genome(基因)?” New research led by Cole has gotten a step closer.Through a large-scale genomics analysis, her team has identified 481 genome regions that were directly linked to dietary patterns and food preferences.The findings,which have not yet been peer-reviewed,were presented last month at the American Society for Nutrition's annual conference. The team based the new study on a 2020 Nature Communications study by Cole and her colleagues that used data from the U.K.Biobank,a public database of the genetic and health information of 500,000 participants.By scanning genomes,the new analysis was able to identify 194 regions associated with dietary patterns and 287 linked to specific foods such as fruit,cheese, fish,tea and alcohol.Further understanding how genetics impact how we eat could reveal differences in nutritional needs or disease risks. “One of the problems with a lot of these genomics studies is that they're very small.They don't have enough people to really be able to identify genes in ways that are credible.This study had a huge group of people,so it's really powerful.”says Monica Dus,a geneticist at the University of Michigan.“The other thing that I thought was really great is that there are so many different features that they're measuring related to diet including cholesterol(胆固醇),the body and socioeconomic backgrounds.”As the research advances,Dus says,such genome analysis could potentially assist health care providers and even policymakers to address larger issues that affect food access and health It's definitely true that it may contribute to making sure there aren't food deserts —areas which have limited access to fresh,healthy and affordable food or to making sure that there's a higher minimum wage so that everyone can afford to eat,although the journey ahead remains lengthy and challenging. 28.How did researchers conduct the present study? A.By involving a substantial number of participants. B.By directly analyzing the data from a public database. C.By building on a previous study based on large-scale data. D.By identifying genome regions associated with dietary patterns 29.Which statement will Monica Dus probably agree with? A.Powerful participants were involved in the current study. B.The methods employed for the previous studies were credible. C.The genome analyses have helped address larger social issues D.Various features linked to diet were considered in the present study 30.What is the text mainly about? A.The benefits of latest large-scale diet-related genome analyses B.The contribution of genes to diet patters and food preferences C.The significance of a newly published diet-related genome discovery D.The introduction of a research on identifying diet related genome regions. 31.Which one might the passage come from? A.National Geographic B.Sports Illustrated for kids C.Scientific American D.The Wall Street Journal D For the arts“o mean more,to more people,”as Arts Council England (ACE)argues,would be excellent Music,drama,dance,visual arts,poetry,and literature are among the most precious human achievements.To live in a country where these are more widely shared and enjoyed would be proof of progress.The point is not just to entertain or educate people or bring communities together.Nor is it all about boosting jobs and investment. Imagination has intrinsic value,and research by ACE shows that people from all walks of life value and get pleasure from cultural activities. Positioning itself as a development agency,ACE hopes to win government backing to shift its focus from the biggest and most prestigious national institutions to the towns,villages,and grassroots organizations that also deserve attention.There,it envisions“building the identity and prosperity of places,"bringing professional artists together with voluntary groups,particularly in areas not well represented on the cultural map. ACE's chair,Sir Nicholas Serota,quotes the first World War centenary(百年纪念)project devised by the artist,Jeremy Deller,and theatre director,Rufus Norris,as the model of what be wants his organization to be about.By dressing up volunteers as soldiers,and orchestrating their encounters with members of the public in settings across England,the artists succeeded in “dissolving the barriers between artists and audiences.” The emphasis on participation —on culture as something that more people should actually do —is newer.This is the difference between being in a play or a band and buying tickets to watch them,and for ACE to play a more active role in promoting the former would be beneficial. This begins in childhood,and ACE hopes the government will think again about policies rethink policies that have downgraded music,drama,and other arts in favor of science,technology,and math. The realization of this vision depends on whether ACE's ambitions catch the government's interest enough to influence the upcoming spending review and counteract the scorn often poured on the humanities.Since 2010,around f400m has been cut from local government arts budgets,a gap ACE cannot fill.The closure of youth clubs and live music venues and financial pressures linked to the property market also narrow opportunities.Though Boris Johnson has offered few signs that he envisions a starring role for the arts in post-Brexit Britain,ACE's plan should boost the profile of all those arguing for more support for the arts in government and beyond. 32.What is the purpose of making arts available to more people? A.enlighten people from all walks of life B.consolidate various communities C.create job opportunities for artists D.maximize the natural value of art 33.According to the passage,ACE is most likely to promote the arts of which of the following A.national institutions B.commercial centers C.local governments D.towns and villages 34.Which of the following statements would Sir Nicholas Serota most probably agree with? A.Audiences with little education can also gain pleasure from cultural activities. B.Artists and audiences can create and enjoy the arts together without barriers. C.The soldiers and volunteers should vividly show scenes about the First World War D.Science,technology and maths are more important than humanities and arts nowadays. 35.What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A.For the arts to get revitalized more extensive efforts are needed. B.The current British government has done enough to promote arts. C.ACE should narrow the financial gap left by the local government. D.Many performing venues have closed due to the rising property market. 第二节七选五(每小题2分，满分10分，涂卡时选E 涂 AB, 选 F 涂 BC, 选 G 涂 CD) When it comes to going green,intention can be easier than action.Case in point:you decide to buy a T-shit made from 100%organic(有机的)cotton,because everyone knows that organic is better for Earth.And in some way it is;in conventional cotton-farming,pesticides(杀虫剂)strip (夺去)the soil of life.But that green label doesn't tell the whole story.Or the possibility that the T-shirt may have been dyed( 染 色 )using harsh industrial chemicals,which can pollute local groundwater. 36 It's a question that most of us are ill equipped to answer,even as the debate over what is and isn't green becomes all-important in a hot and crowded world. 37 .We evolved to respond to threats that were clear and present.That's why,when we eat spoiled food,we get disgusted and when we see a bright light,we shut our eyes. 38 Scanning the supermarket aisles(过道), we lack the data to understand the full impact of what we choose—and probably couldn't make sense of the information even if we had it. But what if we could calculate the full lifetime effect of our actions on the earth and on our bodies?What if we could think ecologically?That's what psychologist Daniel Goleman describes in his forthcoming book,Ecological Intelligence.Using a young science called industrial ecology, businesses and green activists alike are beginning to compile( 汇 总 )the environmental and biological impact of our every decision —and delivering that information to consumers in a user-friendly way. 39 “We can know the causes of what we're doing,and we can know the impact of what we're doing,”says Goleman 40 It's also about our ability to accept that we live in an infinitely connected world with finite resources.Goleman highlights the Tibetan community of Sher,where for millenniums, villagers have survived harsh conditions by carefully conserving every resource available to them. The Tibetans think ecologically because they have no other choice.Neither do we.“We once had the luxury to ignore our impacts,”says Goleman.“Not anymore.” A.If you knew all that,would you still consider the T-shirt green? B.That's thinking ecologically —understanding the global environmental consequences of our choices. C.It's going to have a radical impact on the way we do business. D.Ecological intelligence is ultimately about more than what we buy. E.Not just carbon footprints but social and biological footprints as well? F.But nothing in evolution has prepared us to understand the accumulative impact industrial chemicals may have on us. G.That's because our ability to make complex products with complex supply chains has outpaced our ability to comprehend the consequences. 第三部分：完形填空(每小题1分，满分15分) In the summer of 2018,I decided to do a solo expedition(独自探险)across Antarctica.To get some____41 ,I did a two-week training course.I learned all the 42 :how to camp in the snow,how to pull sled and what clothing to wear.In October,I flew to Antarctica from Punta Arenas.I'd allowed 70 days,which would make it the longest 43 one-way expedition across Antarctica.

It took me a while to be 51 of what I'd achieved,because I had failed to reach my 52 goal,but I've learned it's 53 to move the goalposts.I don't agree with the idea of conquering somewhere.You treat places with 54 and hope they'll allow you 55 passage 41.A.donation B.experience C.attention D.rescue 42.A.basics B.risks C.benefits D.aids 43.A.cooperative B.romantic C.unsupported D.abnormal 44.A.companions B.necessities C.cashes D.credits 45.A.pleasant B.calm C.tough D.lucky 40.A.talk B.hear C.feel D.see 47.A.fell over B.dropped out C.looked away D.put up 48.A.fundraising B.supply C.schedule D.homework 49.A.measured B.designed C.searched D.covered 50.A.burden B.relief C.pain D.anxiety 51.A.proud B.skeptical C.shy D.ashamed 52.A.insignificant B.unbearable C.disturbing D.initial 53.A.regrettable B.unnecessary C.acceptable D.inappropriate 54.A.respect B.courage C.carelessness D.coldness 55.A.narrow B.safe C.limited D.challenging 第四部分：语法填空(每小题1.5分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 For you,the“Clear and Bright”day that falls in every April might be no more than just another holiday—the fact that it comes with three days off school 56 (matter)to most students much more than the fact that it is part of the 24 solar terms. But the UNESCO has recognized the importance of the 24 solar terms.This ancient system that Chinese people have used to keep track of the time of year 57 (add)to the UNESCO list of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity on Nov 30. For starters,you may have heard your mom say:“The sanfu days are almost over.The heat won't be here for long.”The sanfu days are a period of time that falls in summer,somewhere 58 _Minor Heat (in July)and Autumn Equinox(in September).The coldest days,or the sanjiu days,are similar.They cover the 27 days 59 (follow)Winter Solstice. In some places,solar terms guide people's lives through special foods,cultural events and healthy living tips.For example,people from 60 (north)China are in the habit of eating dumplings on the day of Winter Solstice.And on Start of Autumn,some people treat 61 to a big feast,especially of meat,something they call“putting on autumn weight”,or tieqiubiao. But no matter 62 differently people celebrate the 24 solar terms,they have been here for a long time and could last forever According to Chinese writer and academic Yu Shicun,unlike many other examples of intangible cultural heritage -Peking Opera and Chinese Zhusuan,for example -the solar terms are 63 regional (地域的)nor a type of art or skill.Instead,the system is a philosophy of time, 64 applies to everything.And this means they are 65 (likely)to die out. 第五部分：词汇部分(共20题，每题1分，满分20分) 第一节根据单词首字母及所给中文写出单词的正确形式(共7分，每题1分) 66.Together,i_____________(个人；个体)can make a difference. 67.Faced with challenges,she always takes the i__________________(主动权)to step forward,rather than waiting for guidance. 68.He is widely respected as a man of __________________( (正直；诚实)who always stays true to his principles 69.Children are often very good at i__________________( (融入)into a new culture 70.The UN Security Council is debating whether to authorize military i __________________(干预； 介入)to protect civilians trapped in the war zone. 71.Make sure you keep a well-stocked first aid k__________________((成套工具；成套设备)ready to deal with any emergency. 72.She was asked the same question so many times that the answer became__________________( (机 械的). 第二节根据句意，用所给单词的正确形式填空(共7分，每题1分) 73.Sadly, _______________(fortune)never come singly. 74. _______________(judge)from her accent,she must be from Sichuan. 75.She _______________(low)her eyes,shaking her head slightly. 76.The broken window was replaced last week during the routine _______________(maintain) 77.It was Chaucer who really turned English into a _______________(literature)language 78.His decision to quit this job was _______________ (just),by the poor working conditions and low pay. 79.After conducting thorough research,he made an _______________ (inform）choice about his future career path. 第三节根据句意，选择适当词组并用其正确形式填空(共6分，每题1分) make for let alone jump at at the mercy of make out throw light on knock into for lack of 80.The little ship was _______________the storm,fiercely shaken by the waves. 81.Police dropped the charges against him_____________ sufficient evidence 82.In recent years,the in-depth research _______________the causes of the disease offering hope for future treatments. 83.I can't even solve basic math problems, _______________ complex ones. 84.She showed us that even a single desire,never given up on,can _______________ a remarkable life 85.He was in such a hurry that he almost_______________me,and mumbled an apology as he rushed by. 第六部分：写作(满分20分，15分+卷面分5分) 假定你是学校英语阅读俱乐部的主席李华。你注意到同学们很少进行英语文学阅读。请用英 语给全校同学写一份倡议书，倡导大家多阅读英语文学作品。内容包括： 1.介绍现状2.英语文学阅读的意义3.发出倡议 注意：1.词数80左右；2.可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 深圳外国语学校2023级高二年级英语学科 高二上学期开学测试(2024.9) 答案 1． 单项选择 1-5 BBCDB 6-10 BBABD 11-15 BCACB 16-20 DACBC 二．阅读理解 A 篇 21-23 DAB B篇24-27 CADB C篇28-31 CDDC D篇32-35 DDBA 七选五 36-40 AGFBD 三．完型填空 41-45 BACBC 46-50DACDB 51-55 ADCAB 四．语法填空 56. matters 57. was added 58. between 59. following 60.northern 61. themselves 62. how 63. neither 64. which 65.unlikely 五．词汇部分 第一节 66. individuals 67. initiative 68. honesty 69. integrate 70. interference 71.kit 72.mechanical 第二节 73. misfortune 74.

It has come to my attention that English literature is not a staple in our collective reading diet. The absence of these enriching texts from our routine is a missed opportunity to broaden our linguistic and cultural horizons. English literature, a vast ocean brimming with treasures, invites us into worlds crafted by words. It enhances our language skills, deepens our understanding of diverse cultures, and fosters critical thinking. Each page turned is a step towards a more informed and empathetic self. I hereby extend an earnest appeal: let us embark on a journey through the classics and contemporary works of English literature. May we commit to reading at least one English book per month, sharing our insights, and discussing our favorites. Together, we can create a vibrant community of readers, enriching our lives and our school's culture. Let's pledge to make English literature a part of our daily lives. Your participation will not only enhance our collective appreciation of the English language but also contribute to our personal growth. Let's read, let's discuss, let's grow together. Best regards, Li Hua 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
