Now let's learn some of famous New Year's traditions around the world. The Netherlands Amsterdam hosts one of the world's largest street parties on New Year's Eve. If you attend, buy some oliebollen to eat at mid-night. It is usually believed that eating these deep fried oily balls wI'll drive away evil spirits in the New Year. Dam Square (the craziest), Nieuwmarkt, and Leidseplein host unofficial street parties with music, fireworks and beer tents. Amsterdam's celebration is not for the casual partier: Some attendants have compared it to a war zone! Scotland Celebrating Hogmanay, which stands for the last day of the year, is a big deal in Scotland. It is so grand that it often overshadows Christmas. Christmas was outlawed by the Church of Scotland for nearly four centuries, and it didn't make a comeback until 1958. Though the holiday has regained its popularity, the New Year Festival of Hogmanay still holds a sacred place in Scottish hearts. Australia Sydney Harbor hosts one of the biggest New Year's Eve celebrations in the world. It's mid-summer in the southern part of globe, and thousands of people gather around the Opera House in advance. An air-plane show and a water display open the celebration at 6:00 pm. A family-friendly fireworks show starts at 9:00 pm, while the main attraction-the Harbor Light Parade is at midnight. The United States Each year, hundreds of thousands of people flock lo New York City to see the Big Apple drop at midnight. This New Year's Eve tradition actually began as a replacement for fireworks, which had been forbidden in New York. In addition to watching balls drop, in other US cities you can watch peaches, giant walleye, and other locally relevant symbols lowered as the clock strikes midnight. 21. What is eating oliebollen mainly related to? A. History B. Custom C. Literature D. Location 22. Travelers who like to see the show on the water may go to________. A. Australia B. Scotland C. The Netherland D. The United States 23. The passage may be taken from________? A. a geographic book B. a travelling research C. an advertisement D. a tourist brochure B There is a saying about the south-western Chinese province of Guizhou: “Not three feet of flat land, not three days without rain, not a family with three silver coins.” But,with the help of a spicy sauce, Tao Huabi, also known as “China’s hottest woman”, has well and truly opposed this rule. Born in 1947, the eighth daughter of a poor family in a village of mountainous Guizhou, Tao did not go to school and did not learn to read or write. She spent her childhood hungry,and survived the Great Chinese Famine by eating plant roots,according to a biography on Weibo. When her husband died, she moved to the city of Guiyang and started selling noodles with a sauce that she made herself, She eventually opened the charmingly named Economical Restaurant in the 1990s. When a new highway brought truck drivers to Guiyang, she gave them free jars of the sauce and they spread the word.In 1996, she set a factory up in a house in Guiyang, and a year later Lao Gan Ma Special Flavour Foodstuffs Company was born. Miranda Brown, professor of Chinese studies at the University of Michigan, who is writing a book on the history of Chinese food, says that in China, Lao Gan Ma’s popularity is mainly because her products are natural. Chinese consumers tend to want foods that perfectly mix regional flavors and use ingredients grown from the soil of those regions. And today Lao Gan Ma is also increasingly popular overseas, especially in the US. According to its website, the company produces 1.3 million bottles daily, helping the historically poor Guizhou achieve 10. 5% growth—the second fastest of every Chinese province that year, and ahead of the national rate of 6.7%. As for the godmother herself, an article in Yicai Global describes her as the Queen of a “red kingdom” of chili fields. 24. Why is the saying mentioned in paragraph 1? A. To introduce the topic of the passage. B. To serve as background information. C. To attract the interest of the readers. D To describe the present Guizhou. 25. What does the second paragraph focus on? A Tao’s growth process. B. Tao’s living conditions. C. The hardships faced by Tao. D. The development of the company. 26. According to Miranda Brown, what is the reason for Lao Gan Ma’s popularity? A. Low price. B. Spicy taste. C. Local ingredients. D. Positive comments. 27. What can we learn from Tao’s story? A. God helps those who help themselves. B. Failure is the mother of success. C. Well begun half done. D. Many hands make light work. C To some, a cow’s burp (打嗝) might seem like a small thing. But in New Zealand, there are more cows than people. There are only five million people in New Zealand, which is home to 10 million cows. Cows do not easily digest the grass they eat-instead, they ferment (发酵) it in their stomachs. The process releases a lot of gas. So, every time someone eats beef or drinks milk, the process comes at a high cost to the environment. The cows produce methane (甲烷) gas, which has a much stronger effect on global warming. The scientists in New Zealand are working on ways to reduce the amount of gas that comes out of the cows. They are considering changing the food the animals eat or putting a device on the cow to change the methane into something innocuous. There is also talk of feeding the cows a kind of special red seaweed or giving them a food addition that would help them digest the grass. In addition, farmers want a solution. That is because New Zealand has announced plans to tax farmers whose animals produce too much methane gas. The farmers say they will be affected if the tax plan go into effect. A farmer running a farm in the town of Featherston, in the Wellington Region, is trying to get more milk from each cow. The increased efficiency means he does not need as many cows, which in turn reduces the amount of methane coming from his farm. At a farmer level, he is doing his bit to help save the planet. The fight against methane is serious in New Zealand. The county promised to reduce the gas produced by farm animals by up to 47 percent by the year 2050. 28. Why does cows’ burping become a problem in New Zealand? A. New Zealanders prefer milk. B. The number of the cows is too large. C. The cows consume much grass. D. The cows have the digestive problem. 29. What does the underlined word “innocuous” mean in paragraph3? A. Rare. B. Poisonous. C. Harmless. D. Inexpensive. 30. Why do cow farmers want a solution? A. They will raise fewer cows. B. They are affected by the warm climate. C. They can’t increase milking efficiency. D. They will face a heavier financial burden. 31. Which can be the best title for the text? A. Climate Change: Cow Raising Is to Blame B. Methane Gas: The Fight Against It Is Serious C. Global Warming: New Zealand Targets Cow Burps D. Cow Burping: Scientists Look for Some Ways to Stop It D Humans feed thousands of songs to AI (人工智能). And it is able to analyse the basic information and recognize patterns that can be used to create original music. Such AI-created music is similar to those that any musician might compose. Recently, an AI-powered system, the Flow Machines, has released a song Daddy’s Car. This system is able to analyse the composers’ original ideas and come up with more ideas to assist them in composing. The system tries to combine the human mind with AI. Another great invention is Jukedeck, which works very easily. In order to create a new piece, the user just needs to select items like the desired music style (folk, rock, etc.) and the mood (sad or happy). After a few seconds, AI provides a piece of music for the user to download. Each user can create music tailored to his or her interest. Some musicians use AI to achieve what they could not do on their own. For example, Yacht, an American pop group, has used AI to break out of their comfort zone and try to create something different from their previous songs. Soon they have their new album, which contains 10 songs, all of which are very popular. The development of AI technology also comes with some concerns. Some human composers fear that their work might be replaced by a machine. Some others are worried about music itself and the music industry, as AI is now able to create music more and more similar to human-composed music. Faced with this challenge, on one hand, human musicians need to remain creative; on the other hand, they should understand how to use these new tools to explore new frontiers. Perhaps the future role of the human musicians will be to focus on emotions, leaving the machines to take care of other procedures. 32. What is the new development about AI in the text? A. Its progress in replacing humans. B. Its ability in music composing. C. Its influence on human emotions. D. Its focus on changing human mind. 33. Why could Yacht create the popular new album? A. Because they stuck to their former music style. B. Because they went beyond themselves with AI. C. Because they put in more than ten original songs. D. Because they insisted on composing by themselves. 34. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. Problems about AI composing. B. Limitations of AI technology. C. Challenges for human composers. D. Suggestions to human musicians. 35. Which word best describes the author’s attitude toward AI technology? A. Objective. B. Doubtful. C. Uncaring D. Confused. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） Most teens can’t wait to become adults, free to make their own decisions. But with freedom comes responsibility, and this applies especially to your finances.

That afternoon, Mello broke down in tears the moment his mother, Anita James, answered the phone. “Mello, what happened?” James asked her son on the phone. “I’m getting tired of them bullying (欺凌) my friend about his shoes. It’s making me so upset,” he answered in a serious voice, explaining that his classmates made fun of his friend Melvin for having worn-out (穿破的) muddy sneakers. James listened to Mello’s narration with a thoughtful expression. Then, Mello earnestly asked, “Can we go buy him some shoes?” James told her son they would talk about it when she got home from work. During their in-person conversation a few hours later, James found her son still upset. At last, Mello decided to buy his friend a fresh pair of sneakers to get rid of bullies and remind him that he has people who care about him. “Can I use my pocket money, or you can take something away that I would get for Christmas?” Mello asked his mother. The sincere request from her son hit James for many reasons, including that when she was growing up, her older brother used to buy her sneakers when her parents couldn’t afford them. Now, in their adult lives, James buys her brother a pair of sneakers for his birthday every year to show her appreciation. James was so touched by her little boy’s genuine care for his friend and she knew how it would matter to the poor kid, Melvin. That evening, they went to a sneaker store and bought a pair of black-and-white Nike shoes for Melvin. Mello used savings from his pocket money to pay for the $85 shoes. This way, Mello thought, “nobody could laugh at him or say anything about him anymore.” Mello was so excited to give Melvin the gift that he woke up nearly an hour early for school. 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: Before class began, Mello handed his friend the orange Nike box in private. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Bryant Brown, the school’s social studies teacher, found the shoe box on Melvin’s desk. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 万全综合高中2023学年第二学期期末考测试卷 高一普高英语 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） 1. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 What will the woman do with the man’s hair?

When a new highway brought truck drivers to Guiyang, she gave them free jars of the sauce and they spread the word.In 1996, she set a factory up in a house in Guiyang, and a year later Lao Gan Ma Special Flavour Foodstuffs Company was born. Miranda Brown, professor of Chinese studies at the University of Michigan, who is writing a book on the history of Chinese food, says that in China, Lao Gan Ma’s popularity is mainly because her products are natural. Chinese consumers tend to want foods that perfectly mix regional flavors and use ingredients grown from the soil of those regions. And today Lao Gan Ma is also increasingly popular overseas, especially in the US. According to its website, the company produces 1.3 million bottles daily, helping the historically poor Guizhou achieve 10. 5% growth—the second fastest of every Chinese province that year, and ahead of the national rate of 6.7%.

There are only five million people in New Zealand, which is home to 10 million cows. Cows do not easily digest the grass they eat-instead, they ferment (发酵) it in their stomachs. The process releases a lot of gas. So, every time someone eats beef or drinks milk, the process comes at a high cost to the environment. The cows produce methane (甲烷) gas, which has a much stronger effect on global warming. The scientists in New Zealand are working on ways to reduce the amount of gas that comes out of the cows. They are considering changing the food the animals eat or putting a device on the cow to change the methane into something innocuous. There is also talk of feeding the cows a kind of special red seaweed or giving them a food addition that would help them digest the grass. In addition, farmers want a solution. That is because New Zealand has announced plans to tax farmers whose animals produce too much methane gas. The farmers say they will be affected if the tax plan go into effect. A farmer running a farm in the town of Featherston, in the Wellington Region, is trying to get more milk from each cow. The increased efficiency means he does not need as many cows, which in turn reduces the amount of methane coming from his farm. At a farmer level, he is doing his bit to help save the planet. The fight against methane is serious in New Zealand. The county promised to reduce the gas produced by farm animals by up to 47 percent by the year 2050. 28. Why does cows’ burping become a problem in New Zealand? A. New Zealanders prefer milk. B. The number of the cows is too large. C. The cows consume much grass. D. The cows have the digestive problem. 29. What does the underlined word “innocuous” mean in paragraph3? A. Rare. B. Poisonous. C. Harmless. D. Inexpensive. 30. Why do cow farmers want a solution? A. They will raise fewer cows. B. They are affected by the warm climate. C. They can’t increase milking efficiency. D. They will face a heavier financial burden. 31. Which can be the best title for the text? A. Climate Change: Cow Raising Is to Blame B. Methane Gas: The Fight Against It Is Serious C. Global Warming: New Zealand Targets Cow Burps D. Cow Burping: Scientists Look for Some Ways to Stop It 【答案】28. B 29. C 30. D 31. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述的是，因为奶牛打嗝产生的气体对全球变暖有很大影响，新西兰在寻找方法减少奶牛打嗝产生的气体。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段的“ To some, a cow’s burp might seem like a small thing. But in New Zealand, there are more cows than people. There are only five million people in New Zealand, which is home to 10 million cows. (对一些人来说，牛打嗝似乎是一件小事。但在新西兰，奶牛比人多。新西兰只有500万人口，那里有1000万头牛。)”和第二段的“The cows produce methane gas, which has a much stronger effect on global warming. (奶牛会产生甲烷气体，这对全球变暖的影响要大得多。)”可知，奶牛打嗝会成为新西兰的一个问题是因为奶牛的数量太多了，会排放出大量的导致全球变暖的甲烷气体。故选B。 【29题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段的“The cows produce methane gas, which has a much stronger effect on global warming.(奶牛会产生甲烷气体，这对全球变暖的影响要大得多。) ”和第三段的“putting a device on the cow to change the methane into something (在奶牛身上安装一个装置，将甲烷转化为innocuous的东西。)”可知，该装置可以把甲烷变成安全无害的东西，以减少对全球变暖的影响，则划线词意为“无害的”。故选C。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段的“That is because New Zealand has announced plans to tax farmers whose animals produce too much methane gas. The farmers say they will be affected if the tax plan go into effect. (这是因为新西兰宣布计划对动物产生过多甲烷气体的农民征税。农民们表示，如果税收计划生效，他们将受到影响。)”可知，奶牛养殖户想要一个解决方案的原因是他们将面临更沉重的财政负担。故选D。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，根据第二段的“The cows produce methane gas, which has a much stronger effect on global warming.(奶牛会产生甲烷气体，这对全球变暖的影响要大得多。) 和最后一段的“The fight against methane is serious in New Zealand. The county promised to reduce the gas produced by farm animals by up to 47 percent by the year 2050. (在新西兰，与甲烷的斗争是严肃的。该国承诺到2050年将农场动物产生的甲烷气体减少47%。)”可知，本文主要讲述的是，因为奶牛打嗝产生的气体对全球变暖有很大影响，新西兰在寻找方法减少奶牛打嗝产生的气体，因此C项（全球变暖：新西兰着手解决奶牛打嗝）概括文章内容最全面，最适合作为文章标题。故选C。 D Humans feed thousands of songs to AI (人工智能). And it is able to analyse the basic information and recognize patterns that can be used to create original music. Such AI-created music is similar to those that any musician might compose. Recently, an AI-powered system, the Flow Machines, has released a song Daddy’s Car. This system is able to analyse the composers’ original ideas and come up with more ideas to assist them in composing. The system tries to combine the human mind with AI. Another great invention is Jukedeck, which works very easily. In order to create a new piece, the user just needs to select items like the desired music style (folk, rock, etc.) and the mood (sad or happy). After a few seconds, AI provides a piece of music for the user to download. Each user can create music tailored to his or her interest. Some musicians use AI to achieve what they could not do on their own. For example, Yacht, an American pop group, has used AI to break out of their comfort zone and try to create something different from their previous songs. Soon they have their new album, which contains 10 songs, all of which are very popular. The development of AI technology also comes with some concerns. Some human composers fear that their work might be replaced by a machine. Some others are worried about music itself and the music industry, as AI is now able to create music more and more similar to human-composed music. Faced with this challenge, on one hand, human musicians need to remain creative; on the other hand, they should understand how to use these new tools to explore new frontiers. Perhaps the future role of the human musicians will be to focus on emotions, leaving the machines to take care of other procedures. 32. What is the new development about AI in the text? A. Its progress in replacing humans. B. Its ability in music composing. C. Its influence on human emotions. D. Its focus on changing human mind. 33. Why could Yacht create the popular new album? A. Because they stuck to their former music style. B. Because they went beyond themselves with AI. C Because they put in more than ten original songs. D. Because they insisted on composing by themselves. 34. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. Problems about AI composing. B. Limitations of AI technology. C. Challenges for human composers. D. Suggestions to human musicians. 35. Which word best describes the author’s attitude toward AI technology? A. Objective. B. Doubtful. C. Uncaring D. Confused. 【答案】32. B 33. B 34. D 35. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了人工智能可以用于谱曲，一些人类作曲家担心他们的作品可能会被机器取代。面对这一挑战，一方面，人类音乐家需要保持创造性；另一方面，他们应该了解如何使用这些新工具来探索新的领域。也许人类音乐家未来的角色将是专注于情感，让机器来处理其他程序。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Humans feed thousands of songs to AI (人工智能).

That afternoon, Mello broke down in tears the moment his mother, Anita James, answered the phone. “Mello, what happened?” James asked her son on the phone. “I’m getting tired of them bullying (欺凌) my friend about his shoes. It’s making me so upset,” he answered in a serious voice, explaining that his classmates made fun of his friend Melvin for having worn-out (穿破的) muddy sneakers. James listened to Mello’s narration with a thoughtful expression. Then, Mello earnestly asked, “Can we go buy him some shoes?” James told her son they would talk about it when she got home from work. During their in-person conversation a few hours later, James found her son still upset. At last, Mello decided to buy his friend a fresh pair of sneakers to get rid of bullies and remind him that he has people who care about him. “Can I use my pocket money, or you can take something away that I would get for Christmas?” Mello asked his mother. The sincere request from her son hit James for many reasons, including that when she was growing up, her older brother used to buy her sneakers when her parents couldn’t afford them. Now, in their adult lives, James buys her brother a pair of sneakers for his birthday every year to show her appreciation. James was so touched by her little boy’s genuine care for his friend and she knew how it would matter to the poor kid, Melvin. That evening, they went to a sneaker store and bought a pair of black-and-white Nike shoes for Melvin. Mello used savings from his pocket money to pay for the $85 shoes. This way, Mello thought, “nobody could laugh at him or say anything about him anymore.” Mello was so excited to give Melvin the gift that he woke up nearly an hour early for school. 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: Before class began Mello handed his friend the orange Nike box in private. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Bryant Brown, the school’s social studies teacher, found the shoe box on Melvin’s desk. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Before class began, Mello handed his friend the orange Nike box in private. When told it was a gift for him, Melvin was totally shocked and immensely touched at such a nice gesture from his friend. Mello beamed with a warm smile on his face, as if he had anticipated Melvin’s reaction, and whispered in his friend’s ear that there would be no more teasing from other kids about his worn-out shoes. After weeks of getting constant smirks about his sneakers, Melvin couldn’t wait to put on his new shoes. Looking at the shiny Nike shoes on Melvin’s feet, Mello was overjoyed. Bryant Brown, the school’s social studies teacher, spotted the shoe box on Melvin’s desk. He asked Melvin for the backstory. It brought the teacher to tears. After asking for the two boys’ consent, he decided to share the story on Facebook, hoping it might inspire others. The post got thousands of likes, shares and comments. Brown was stunned by the response. He is now planning to launch an anti-bullying campaign in the coming weeks. Hundreds of students, parents and teachers have signed up for the activity with the hope that there’s no place in the world for bullies and Mello’s helping hand always lives on. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Mello在和妈妈James视频通话时告诉妈妈自己的朋友Melvin因为穿了一双又旧又脏的运动鞋而被同学嘲笑，Mello提出想给Melvin买双鞋，这让James很触动，想起了自己的哥哥常常在她父母买不起球鞋的时候给她买球鞋的事情，那天晚上，他们去了一家运动鞋店，Mello用自己的零花钱给Melvin买了一双黑白相间的85美元的耐克鞋，Mello非常兴奋地把礼物送给Melvin，他提前了将近一个小时起床去上学。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“上课前，Mello私下把橙色的耐克盒子递给了他的朋友。”可知，第一段可描写Mello把鞋送给Melvin以及Melvin收到礼物后的反应。 ②由第二段首句内容“学校的社会研究老师Bryant Brown发现了Melvin桌子上的鞋盒。”可知，第二段可描写老师了解了故事后决定在Facebook上分享这个故事以及这个故事引起的反响。 2.续写线索：Melvin的反应——Melvin穿上鞋——Mello欣喜若狂——老师了解故事——老师决定分享故事——帖子获赞——老师计划发起一场反欺凌运动 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①穿上： put on/pull on ②询问：ask/inquire ③发起：launch/initiate 情绪类 ①震惊的：shocked/astounded ②感动的：touched/moved 【点睛】[高分句型1] When told it was a gift for him, Melvin was totally shocked and immensely touched at such a nice gesture from his friend.
