There are three choices set for different students. Super Camp Senior Forum offers 6-day and 10-day residential (寄宿制的) programs at four well-known U.S. colleges this summer: Stanford, Villanova, the University of Central Florida and Southwestern University in Georgetown, TX.

B In the rush of day-to-day life, we don’t always have the time to slow down and move at our own speed. Even on vacation, we always try to visit, do and taste as many things as possible in a new place or many places. “I’ve heard countless times how tired people are when they come back from their vacation and feel like they ‘need a vacation from their vacation,’ and that’s because many times we pack so much into a very short time,” said travel blogger Esther Susag. “We want to see everything, do everything, and not waste a minute. There is, however, another method that many experienced travelers suggest: slow travel. But what exactly is slow travel, and how do you take full advantage of this kind of trip? Below ,travel experts break it down. As the name suggests, slow travel generally needs travelers to slow down and enjoy each moment, rather than rushing to check off the list items. “Slow travel may mean different things to different travelers, but I define (定义) it as staying in one place for longer and going deeper into the local culture,” said Paul Jacobs, general manager and vice president of Kayak North America. “It’s taking the time to make real connections with locals instead of packing a schedule full of tours.” For travel expert and author La Carmina, slow travel allows people to stop and smell the roses-quite directly. “It’s about being fully present in the moment and experiencing the sights, sounds and sensations (感觉) around you completely “letting the experience develop at its own speed and without expectations,” she said. “To me, slow travel doesn’t have a strict definition or certain things to do, but rather focuses on the feeling of being a visitor to a place.” Slow travel is becoming more and more popular now, because it can do good to us in many ways. 4. Why are people tired when they return from their vacation? A. They have no place to rest. B. They are on a busy schedule when traveling. C. They travel to some places far away. D. They feel quite excited and enjoy their trip fully. 5 What does La Carmina think of slow travel? A. It can let travelers experience the place deeply. B. It can make travelers save a lot of money. C. It can allow travelers to explore more places. D. It can save travelers much more time. 6. What might the author continue talking about? A. Other ways of travel. B. The definition of slow travel. C. The proper places for slow travel. D. The advantages of slow travel. 7. In which part of a newspaper can you probably read the text? A. Life. B. Society. C. Sports. D. Education. C In a classroom in rural Kenya’s Rift Valley, a student, Priscilla Sitienei, takes notes alongside her fellow classmates. She wears the same school uniform. However, there is something different. Sitienei is more than 80 years older than them. February 11 was Sitienei’s ninety-ninth birthday. “The main reason for my returning to school was that I would like to become a doctor because I used to be a midwife (助产士),” she said. She added that her children supported her decision. Back in 2003 the government of the East African country began helping to pay for the cost of primary schooling. This has allowed some older members of society, who had missed out on education in their younger days, to go back to school. This has given Sitienei more than an education. She has become a film star. Sitienei travelled to Paris last year for the launch (发布) of a film about her journey. It is titled Gogo, which means grandmother in her native Kalenjin language. She will also be heading to New York City soon for a showing of the film there. Sitienei is in her sixth year of primary school. She said her aims were far more practical than becoming a movie star. She said, “I also enjoy school activities, including physical education classes. They keep me fit. I get to jump around, even though not as much as they do, but I at least move my body. That is my joy.” Sitienei shares her wide experience and knowledge with the children. Her teachers also use her experience to keep the peace during lessons. Her class teacher, Leonida Talaam, said, “I use Sitienei to help control the class. And it works! When I go outside, the class remains silent.” 8. What does Sitienei mainly intend to do by going to school? A. Take up a new career. B. Make herself popular. C. Have more classmates. D. Return to society. 9. Why did Sitienei go to Paris last year? A. She wanted to meet her grandma. B. She wanted to learn the native language. C. Her movie would come out there. D. Her new journey plan was to be announced. 10. Which of the following best describes Sitienei? A. Dependent. B. Creative. C. Honest. D. Energetic. 11. What does Sitienei help her teachers do? A. Keep order in class. B. Organize school activities. C. Stop the students going out. D. Inspire the students to work out. D If you visit Uluwatu temple in Bali, be cautious. The long-tailed temple monkeys there are well-known thieves. Since a long time ago, they have made a living by robbing visitors of their possessions and then holding those objects until a ransom in the form of food is paid. But Jean-Baptiste Leca of the University of Lethbridge, in Canada, wondered whether these monkeys are cleverer still. Sometimes, they do not accept the first offer and hold out for more. He therefore asked himself whether they are able to assess how valuable an object is to its owner, and factor that into their negotiations. Dr. Leca and his colleagues conducted their experiment by wandering around the temple with video cameras, recording the activities of the monkeys. Every time they saw a monkey show interest in a particular tourist, they recorded the interaction. To work out what was going on, they had first to establish the relative values of food rewards to monkeys, and of stealable objects to people. To confirm which stealable objects are most valued by people, they divided them into six classes: empty containers, such as phone cases and plastic bottles; accessories (搭配物) such as hairpins and key rings; hats and shoes; spectacles and sunglasses; and electronics and wallets. They then observed how often victims bothered to bargain with the thief for the return of property belonging to different classes, and thus classified objects into low value, medium value and high value. They found that monkeys do, indeed, have a complicated sense of what they are doing — at least, adults and sub-adults do. These animals have a preference for stealing high-value items, and will often hold out either for more rewards, or for better ones, if they are in possession of such items. But this is something that they have to learn how to do as they grow up. Young monkeys make no such distinctions, and sub-adults are less good at doing so than adults. 12. What is the purpose of Leca's research? A. To prove monkeys are cleverer than men. B. To find out what is valuable for monkeys. C. To record the negotiations between monkeys. D. To make sure monkeys can judge item values. 13. What does the underlined word "ransom" in Paragraph 1 mean? A. Bill. B. Reward. C. Tax. D. Rent. 14 How are the values of objects classified in Paragraph 3? A. By the material of objects. B. By the preference of victims. C. By the frequency of bargaining. D. By the buying price of objects. 15. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. Monkeys' stealing is an acquired skill. B. All monkeys prefer high-value items. C. Monkeys have a simple sense of acts. D. Young monkeys can evaluate items. 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。 How to Make the World a Better Place When you think about people who have made the world a better place, you probably think of famous scientists or great leaders. ____16____ Ordinary people like you and me can also help a lot.

The guest list, which I kept at the back of my homework assignment folder, began with a few close friends. But in the two weeks before that special Friday night, it had quickly grown from seven girls to a large total of seventeen. Nearly every girl in my fifth-grade class had been invited to sleep over at my house for a big celebration. I was especially happy when each guest I invited excitedly accepted the invitation. I couldn’t wait! It would be a night of scary stories, funny games, pizza and lots of presents, which would be a happy paradise (天堂) for kids. Who could resist it? But as I later realized, I would truly treasure only one gift I received that night. The big night finally came. Every friend invited came to my house on time. We kept dancing, singing, talking loudly and playing all pop games. As you could imagine, my family room was full of crazy shouts and bursts of laughter. We had just finished a game of Twister and were lining up for the limbo (林波舞)when the doorbell rang suddenly. I hardly paid attention to who might be at the door. What did it matter? Who cared? Everyone I liked from school was there, in my family room, preparing for the game —to lean under the stick held by my two sisters. “Judy, come here for a minute,” Mom answered the door and called loudly from the front door. I hated to be interrupted. I rolled my eyes and shrugged to my friends as if to say, “Now who would dare bother me at a time like this?” What I really wanted to say was, “It’s tough being popular!” 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。 Paragraph 1: I ran to the front door, wondering who it was, and then I stopped. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: I slowly accepted the gift from Sarah. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 惠州市惠阳区丰湖高级中学 2023-2024学年度第二学期高二英语第二次段考 （考试时间：120分钟 试卷满分：120分） 第一部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分50分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 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 Super Camp is the best learning, life and career skills summer camp for ages 11-19.

Even on vacation, we always try to visit, do and taste as many things as possible in a new place or many places.(在匆忙的日常生活中，我们并不总是有时间放慢脚步，以自己的速度前进。即使在度假时，我们也总是尝试在一个新的地方或许多地方参观、做和品尝尽可能多的东西。)”以及第三段“There is, however, another method that many experienced travelers suggest: slow travel. But what exactly is slow travel, and how do you take full advantage of this kind of trip? Below, travel experts break it down.(然而，许多有经验的旅行者建议还有另一种方法：慢旅行。但究竟什么是慢旅行，如何充分利用这种旅行呢？下面，旅游专家对其进行了分析。)”可知，文章主要介绍了慢旅行的相关内容，和我们的生活相关。由此推知，我们很有可能在报纸的“生活”版面读到这篇文章。故选A。 C In a classroom in rural Kenya’s Rift Valley, a student, Priscilla Sitienei, takes notes alongside her fellow classmates.

That is my joy.”(她说：“我也喜欢学校的活动，包括体育课。它们使我保持健康。我可以跳来跳去，虽然没有他们跳得那么频繁，但我至少可以动一动身体。这就是我的快乐。”)”可知，99岁高龄的Sitienei喜欢上体育课，说明她很活跃，结合选项可知，用“充满活力”这个词最能描述Sitienei。故选D项。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Her teachers also use her experience to keep the peace during lessons.

He therefore asked himself whether they are able to assess how valuable an object is to its owner, and factor that into their negotiations. Dr. Leca and his colleagues conducted their experiment by wandering around the temple with video cameras, recording the activities of the monkeys. Every time they saw a monkey show interest in a particular tourist, they recorded the interaction. To work out what was going on, they had first to establish the relative values of food rewards to monkeys, and of stealable objects to people. To confirm which stealable objects are most valued by people, they divided them into six classes: empty containers, such as phone cases and plastic bottles; accessories (搭配物) such as hairpins and key rings; hats and shoes; spectacles and sunglasses; and electronics and wallets. They then observed how often victims bothered to bargain with the thief for the return of property belonging to different classes, and thus classified objects into low value, medium value and high value. They found that monkeys do, indeed, have a complicated sense of what they are doing — at least, adults and sub-adults do. These animals have a preference for stealing high-value items, and will often hold out either for more rewards, or for better ones, if they are in possession of such items. But this is something that they have to learn how to do as they grow up. Young monkeys make no such distinctions, and sub-adults are less good at doing so than adults. 12. What is the purpose of Leca's research? A. To prove monkeys are cleverer than men. B. To find out what is valuable for monkeys. C. To record the negotiations between monkeys. D. To make sure monkeys can judge item values. 13. What does the underlined word "ransom" in Paragraph 1 mean? A. Bill. B. Reward. C. Tax. D. Rent. 14. How are the values of objects classified in Paragraph 3? A. By the material of objects. B. By the preference of victims. C. By the frequency of bargaining. D. By the buying price of objects. 15. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. Monkeys' stealing is an acquired skill. B. All monkeys prefer high-value items. C. Monkeys have a simple sense of acts. D Young monkeys can evaluate items. 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. A 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。巴厘岛的乌鲁瓦图寺庙的长尾庙猴是有名的小偷，它们偷走游客的财物并要求游客用食物作赎金。Leca和他的同事们开展了一项实验研究这些猴子是否能够判断物品的价值，并发现这些猴子具备这些技能，它们的偷窃技能是后天习得的。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“He therefore asked himself whether they are able to assess how valuable an object is to its owner, and factor that into their negotiations.”(因此，他问自己，它们是否能够评估一件物品对其所有者有多大价值，并将此因素考虑到谈判中。)可知，Leca的研究的目的是确认猴子能够判断物品的价值。故选D。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段第三句中的“robbing visitors of their possessions”(抢劫来访者的财物)和“holding those objects”(拿着这些东西)以及“in the form of food”(以食物的形式)可知，此处是指猴子们抢劫来访者的财物，让来访者用食物来赎回自己的财物。所以ransom意为“赎金”。故选B。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段第二句“They then observed how often victims bothered to bargain with the thief for the return of property belonging to different classes, and thus classified objects into low value, medium value and high value. ”(然后，他们观察受害者为归还属于不同类别的财产而与窃贼讨价还价的频率，从而将物品分为低价值、中价值和高价值。)可知，物品的价值是根据讨价还价的频率来分类的。故选C。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段最后两句“But this is something that they have to learn how to do as they grow up. Young monkeys make no such distinctions, and sub-adults are less good at doing so than adults.”(但这是它们必须在成长过程中学会的。年幼的猴子没有这样的区别，而未成年的猴子在这方面不如成年猴子擅长。)可知，猴子的偷窃是一种后天习得的技能。故选A。 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。 How to Make the World a Better Place When you think about people who have made the world a better place, you probably think of famous scientists or great leaders. ____16____ Ordinary people like you and me can also help a lot.

Do you have a very good neighbour who is always there when you need her? Tell her how much you appreciate her being in your life.(谢谢服务员。你是否有一个在你需要的时候总是在你身边的好邻居？告诉她你有多感激她出现在你的生活中)”可知，本句应该是举例一个在餐馆中发生的场景，故F选项“你在饭店里享受到好的服务吗？”符合语境，故选F。 第二部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I grew up in a small North Dakota town.

The guest list, which I kept at the back of my homework assignment folder, began with a few close friends. But in the two weeks before that special Friday night, it had quickly grown from seven girls to a large total of seventeen. Nearly every girl in my fifth-grade class had been invited to sleep over at my house for a big celebration. I was especially happy when each guest I invited excitedly accepted the invitation. I couldn’t wait! It would be a night of scary stories, funny games, pizza and lots of presents, which would be a happy paradise (天堂) for kids. Who could resist it? But as I later realized, I would truly treasure only one gift I received that night. The big night finally came. Every friend invited came to my house on time. We kept dancing, singing, talking loudly and playing all pop games. As you could imagine, my family room was full of crazy shouts and bursts of laughter. We had just finished a game of Twister and were lining up for the limbo (林波舞)when the doorbell rang suddenly. I hardly paid attention to who might be at the door. What did it matter? Who cared? Everyone I liked from school was there, in my family room, preparing for the game —to lean under the stick held by my two sisters. “Judy, come here for a minute,” Mom answered the door and called loudly from the front door. I hated to be interrupted. I rolled my eyes and shrugged to my friends as if to say, “Now who would dare bother me at a time like this?” What I really wanted to say was, “It’s tough being popular!” 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。 Paragraph 1: I ran to the front door, wondering who it was, and then I stopped. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: I slowly accepted the gift from Sarah. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1: I ran to the front door, wondering who it was, and then I stopped. My mouth dropped open and I felt my face turning red. There stood Sarah, the quiet girl who sat next to me in music class. She was holding a gift, “Happy birthday!” I asked myself in silence, “How had I forgotten to invite Sarah?” I remembered that I only added a name to the list when someone had shown an interest in me. But Sarah had never done that. Never once had she asked me about my birthday party. Paragraph 2: I slowly accepted the gift from Sarah. I asked her to join the party. “I can’t stay,” she said. “My dad’s waiting in the car.” I nearly begged for her stay. “Thanks, but I have to go,” she said, turning toward the door. “See you on Monday.” I stood there with an empty feeling in my heart. Holding Sarah’s gift in my hands, I thought it was the best gift I had received, for it was given by an unconditional friend who stood by me, always encouraging and understanding me. 【解析】 【导语】文章以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者在十岁生日的时候举行了一个盛大的生日聚会，她几乎邀请了班上的所有女生。她们正在狂欢的时候，门铃响了，原来是Sarah带着礼物来祝贺作者的生日。作者并没有邀请她，然而她却带着礼物来了，这让作者很感动，作者认为Sarah送的礼物是最好的礼物。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我跑到前门，想知道是谁，然后我停了下来。”可知，第一段可描写来着是谁以及做了什么。 ②由第二段首句内容“我慢慢地接受了Sarah的礼物。”可知，第二段可描写作者邀请Sarah参加聚会，Sarah因为有事拒绝了以及作者的感受。 2.续写线索：Sarah拿着礼物站在门口——作者反思——邀请Sarah参加聚会——Sarah有事拒绝——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①拿着：hold/carry ②对……感兴趣：show an interest in/be interested in ③参加：join/participate in 情绪类 ①空虚的：empty/vacant ②鼓舞人心的：encouraging/inspiring 【点睛】[高分句型1]There stood Sarah, the quiet girl who sat next to me in music class.（运用了完全倒装，who引导定语从句） [高分句型2]I remembered that I only added a name to the list when someone had shown an interest in me.（运用了that引导宾语从句，when引导时间状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
