2024-2025学年南京师范大学附属实验学校高二英语9月月考试卷 全卷满分：150分 考试时间：120分钟 第一部分：听力（共两节，满分30分）（略） 第二部分：阅读（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四个选项选出最佳选项。 A Risks at Your Table Some of the “everyday foods” we eat hide some unhealthy features, which most people ignore. We take a look at some of the health risks being served to you! Energy Drinks You’re tired and you still have to face a physical or mental stress, so what a better friend than an energy drink to overcome the effort? However, most energy drinks contain chemicals that are harmful if taken in quantities, with effects that are similar to the ones from several other illegal drugs, smoking and alcohol consumption. White Bread White bread is poorer in fiber and protein than other bread alternatives. Fiber helps our body to understand when it has eaten enough. The sense of fullness is important if we don’t want an extra-consumption of calories. Breakfast Cereals Breakfast cereals(麦片) fill out lots of shelves in every supermarket you get inside. They’re one of the favorite foods for our first meal of the day, because they’re simply delicious. What many people are not aware of is that these products are loaded with GM(转基因) organisms which affect our immune system. If you really can’t separate yourselves from breakfast cereals, maybe you could start considering some organic breakfast cereal alternatives. Fat-Free Foods Fat-free foods may look like the gold mine for a perfectly balanced and satisfying diet, but the reality is widely different. Fats are essential for many body functions and for its healthy development. A fat-cut is not advisable, especially when your workouts are regular. Plus, fat-free foods are usually high in processed sugar. 1. Which is particularly improper for a man going to the gym regularly? A. Energy drinks. B. White bread. C. Breakfast cereals. D. Fat-free foods. 2. What do the four foods have in common? A. They are delicious and healthy. B. They contain harmful chemicals. C. They hide some harmful features. D. They lack some essential nutrients. 3. In which section of a website can you probably find this passage? A. Health. B. Education. C. Economy. D. Science. B 20-year-old Edgar McGregor decided to visit his local park, Eaton Canyon, day in and day out to pick up as much litter as he could fit in two buckets (提桶). Now, over 589 days and 19,000 Twitter followers later, he is more passionate (热爱的) than ever about his task to save the planet! Edgar found out that Los Angeles would be the host of the 2028 Summer Olympic Games. Knowing the state of the national forest at the time, he feared that its grounds that were full of litter would make the city a “global embarrassment,” so he decided to make cleaning it up his new passion project. As time went on, he began documenting his progress on Twitter. Soon, he began encouraging others to start park cleanup projects of their own. As part of southern California’s Angeles National Forest, Eaton Canyon can see quite a bit of daily foot traffic. On one particularly busy day, Edgar spent five hours picking up litter and came away with over 1,000 pounds of rubbish. Rain or shine, Edgar headed over to carry out his task. He worked through conditions like snowstorms, a record heat wave, and even a forest fire on the opposite side of the park. The more he did, the more treasures he discovered. In addition to a lot of old iPhones and cans, Edgar collected enough recyclables to earn around 30 dollars every few weeks, which he would donate to nonprofits. Recently, Edgar began noticing that the top-littered areas in his park were becoming few and far between. At one point, he spent four hours moving around the park and only returned with two buckets. Edgar plans to return to Eaton Canyon two or three times a week to keep up with the maintenance, but he is excited to start expanding his reach to new locations.

What is the text mainly about? A. A hero for the environment. B. A way of dealing with litter. C. A local development project. D. A huge personal achievement. C Friends are important in our lives, but we sometimes have to separate from our friends. “A Farewell Song” is about saying goodbye to a friend. It is a famous poem by Wang Wei, a great poet, who lived in Tang Dynasty. He is good at writing poems and drawing. When talking about Wang Wei, people often say there are pictures in his poems and there are poems in his pictures. His poems are full of beauty and imagination. “No dust is raised on the road wet with morning rain”, “The willows by the hotel look so fresh and green”, a picture of silence and peace gets into our eyes. After a morning rain in spring, the road, the willows (柳树) and the hotel are completely different. The hotel looks green. The willows look fresh. Everything is nice, gentle and silent. Willow branches are considered as a typical symbol of farewell in China. In ancient times, Chinese people often used them as gifts when they said goodbye to their friends. “I invite you to drink a cup of wine again” is the poet’s warm and real way of not wanting to say goodbye to his friend. Having another drink together is like a symbol of their goodbye. Lastly “West of the sunny pass no more friends will be seen” shows the feeling of being alone and missing someone. It also shows his sincere love and care for his friend. “A Farewell Song” creates a feeling of quiet sadness. It mixes beautiful pictures and human feelings to deeply express the common experience of saying goodbye. 8. When did Wang Wei’s friend leave in the poem? A. In spring. B. In summer. C. In autumn. D.

B. To show his joy before separating from his friend. C. To show a feeling of quiet sadness before farewell. D. To show his anger before farewell. D When we look at a lovely baby, a puppy or a really cute kitten many of us want to squeeze it. Why is that? According to a study published in the journal Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, it’s a typical experience of “cute aggression”. The experience results from the fight between the brain’s “emotion system”, which impels (驱使) people to squeeze cute things, and its “reward system” which deals with feelings of “wanting”. In the study, 54 participants between the ages of 18 and 40 were presented with four groups of photos. Two of the groups of photos were of cute human babies and animals and the other two were of less adorable adult humans and animals. As the participants looked at the photos, there searchers watched their brain activities. According to the researchers, the participants reward systems were found to be active as they looked at the cute babies, and they seemed to be overwhelmed(征服的). By contrast, the reward systems of the people looking at the less cute adults were found to be inactive, and they seemed to be less impelled by their reward systems. This suggests that cute things activate their emotion systems in such a way that people are overwhelmed by the experience of cuteness. But reward systems work against these emotions by creating the desire to protect cute things. As Katherine Stavropoulos, the lead researcher of this study at the University of California in the US told Science Alert, “The cute aggression is the brain’s way of ‘bringing us back down’ by balancing our feelings of being overwhelmed.” Stavropoulos compared this process of balancing to an evolutionary adaptation. Such an adaptation may have taken place to ensure that people are able to continue taking care of creatures they consider particularly cute. So, although cute babies and adorable animals may look completely helpless, their vulnerable( 易受伤害的) appearance may in fact help them to survive. 12. According to the text, “cute aggression” refers to . A. the emotion of wanting to protect cute things B. the task of emotion system and reward system C. the adaptation of consistently taking care of cute creatures D. the behavior of squeezing a cute baby or animal when seeing it 13. In nature, “cute aggression” is caused by . A. the need of the brain to balance all feelings B. the photos of cute human babies and animals C. the vulnerable appearance of babies or animals D. the conflict between emotion system and reward system 14. Which of the following statements about the study is TRUE? A. Facial expressions of the participants were observed. B. Katherine Stavropoulos conducted this study on her own. C. Cute babies and animals affected brain activities of all the participants. D. The participants were divided into two groups in order to make comparison. 15. What is the author's purpose in writing this text? A. To persuade readers to protect cute animals. B. To stress the significance of cute aggression. C. To present research findings on cute aggression. D. To share an interesting phenomenon with readers 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。 Letting Go of What Holds You Back The truth is, we all only have a limited amount of time and energy each day. ___16___ Does that sound familiar? We’ve all been there — feeling overwhelmed, as if carrying a heavy load on our backs. Whether it’s physical stuff in your living space or metaphorical (比喻的) trash in life, it’s time for a spring cleaning. ___17___ To do one thing well, you must have the concentration and go all out. Once Warren Buffet famously said,“ Really successful people say no to almost everything.” He accumulated wealth by focusing laser- like on one thing — investing, and excelled in it by declining every other shiny distraction that crossed his path. Reflecting on our life, we’ve unconsciously collected mental and emotional “junk”. Maybe it’s excessive TV watching, continuous gaming, tiring friendships, aimless social media consumption. Honestly, I’ll bet we could all name at least one TV show we’ve been absorbed in out of boredom instead of doing something productive. So the first step is taking stock of exactly what’s weighing you down each day. Then it’s time to start de-junking, but go slow. ___18___ Try dumping one thing per week so it’s manageable. Another sneaky trick is to replace bad habits with good alternatives, like switching from endless browsing on social media to learning a new skill instead. ___19___ Once the unnecessary weight is lifted off, you will have so much extra mental space and energy. ___20___ So say bye-bye to all the things holding you back and watch your success skyrocket as a result. Your future self will thank you. A Detail the time you spend on activities each week. B. As a saying goes, jack (千斤顶) of all trades, master of none. C. Throwing everything out at once will just leave you stressed out. D. Or put away your phone while working, so you’ re not distracted. E. When it comes to letting go of trouble causers, you have many alternatives. F. Suddenly barriers seem not so tough when you’ re not battling ten things at once. G. If we shoulder more than we can, we’ll end up exhausted and going nowhere. 第三部分：语言应用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下列短文，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。 When Mike visited Bali, he first took note of street vendors (摊贩).

I was in one of the many street markets of Luzhou, a small city located in China’s Sichuan Province. Already, a crowd of curious on - lookers was gathering: white - haired grandmas, toothless old men, mothers holding infants. Everyone was waiting, wondering why the foreigner was causing such a fuss (大惊小怪). I took a deep breath The crowd leaned in. “Do you have a pumpkin?” I asked as clearly as possible. A mother holding an infant explained there was no pumpkin here in English. I had to move on to yet another market in my search for Halloween. As an American English teacher in China, the urge was strong to explain my country’s cultural traditions to my students. I’d had plenty of success in teaching the Chinese about significant United States holidays and events, Halloween being one of them. Yet I was now in a new teaching position, in a different region of the country which seems to have every kind of produce known to man except the one I wanted for Oct.31. I had learned that in teaching about Halloween, there was no substitute (替代品) for a carved pumpkin. Descriptions produced blank stares. Drawings were misinterpreted. Pictures only puzzled. Sure, I could give up showing a real jack-o’- lantern (南瓜灯) to my students. I could lecture on the history of this tradition, which had its origin in old beliefs about the return of the spirits of dead people. We could have a go at wearing masks, and role- play trick - or - treat. But nothing could compare with the pumpkin. For that reason, I was willing to go through just about anything to find a pumpkin for my students. In another section of the city, I headed to a big market. “Do you have a pumpkin?” I asked the seller I saw. “A what?” she seemed to be at a loss. However, I didn’t know how to make her understand what I wanted. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右; (2)请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Suddenly an idea occurred to me. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On Oct. 31, I brought the carefully - carved pumpkin into the class. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024-2025学年南京师范大学附属实验学校高二英语9月月考试卷 全卷满分：150分 考试时间：120分钟 第一部分：听力（共两节，满分30分）（略） 第二部分：阅读（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四个选项选出最佳选项。 A Risks at Your Table Some of the “everyday foods” we eat hide some unhealthy features, which most people ignore.

According to a study published in the journal Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, it’s a typical experience of “cute aggression”. The experience results from the fight between the brain’s “emotion system”, which impels (驱使) people to squeeze cute things, and its “reward system” which deals with feelings of “wanting”. In the study, 54 participants between the ages of 18 and 40 were presented with four groups of photos. Two of the groups of photos were of cute human babies and animals and the other two were of less adorable adult humans and animals. As the participants looked at the photos, there searchers watched their brain activities. According to the researchers, the participants reward systems were found to be active as they looked at the cute babies, and they seemed to be overwhelmed(征服的). By contrast, the reward systems of the people looking at the less cute adults were found to be inactive, and they seemed to be less impelled by their reward systems. This suggests that cute things activate their emotion systems in such a way that people are overwhelmed by the experience of cuteness. But reward systems work against these emotions by creating the desire to protect cute things. As Katherine Stavropoulos, the lead researcher of this study at the University of California in the US told Science Alert, “The cute aggression is the brain’s way of ‘bringing us back down’ by balancing our feelings of being overwhelmed.” Stavropoulos compared this process of balancing to an evolutionary adaptation. Such an adaptation may have taken place to ensure that people are able to continue taking care of creatures they consider particularly cute. So, although cute babies and adorable animals may look completely helpless, their vulnerable( 易受伤害的) appearance may in fact help them to survive. 12. According to the text, “cute aggression” refers to . A. the emotion of wanting to protect cute things B. the task of emotion system and reward system C. the adaptation of consistently taking care of cute creatures D. the behavior of squeezing a cute baby or animal when seeing it 13. In nature, “cute aggression” is caused by . A. the need of the brain to balance all feelings B. the photos of cute human babies and animals C. the vulnerable appearance of babies or animals D. the conflict between emotion system and reward system 14. Which of the following statements about the study is TRUE? A. Facial expressions of the participants were observed. B. Katherine Stavropoulos conducted this study on her own. C. Cute babies and animals affected brain activities of all the participants. D. The participants were divided into two groups in order to make comparison. 15. What is the author's purpose in writing this text? A. To persuade readers to protect cute animals. B. To stress the significance of cute aggression. C. To present research findings on cute aggression. D. To share an interesting phenomenon with readers 【答案】12. D 13. D 14. C 15. C 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了关于“cute aggression”的研究成果。 【12题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第一段第一句When we look at a lovely baby, a puppy or a rally cute kitten many of us want to squeeze it.“当我们看到可爱的婴儿、小狗或拉力赛可爱的小猫时，我们很多人都想捏它。”由此可知“cute aggression”指的是看到可爱的婴儿或动物时捏它的行为。故选D。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中The experience results from the fight between the brain’s “emotion system”, which impels (驱使) people to squeeze cute things, and its “reward system” which deals with feelings of “wanting”.“这种体验来自于大脑的“情感系统”和“奖励系统”之间的斗争，前者促使人们挤压可爱的东西，后者处理“想要”的感觉。”可知，在自然界中，“cute aggression”是由情感系统与奖励系统的冲突引起的。故选D。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中According to the researchers, the participants reward systems were found to be active as they looked at the cute babies, and they seemed to be overwhelmed(征服的).“研究人员称，当参与者看着可爱的婴儿时，他们的奖励系统被发现是活跃的，而且他们似乎不知所措。”可知，可爱的婴儿和动物影响所有参与者的大脑活动。故选C。 【15题详解】 目意图题。根据第六段As Katherine Stavropoulos, the lead researcher of this study at the University of California in the US told Science Alert, “The cute aggression is the brain’s way of ‘bringing us back down’ by balancing our feelings of being overwhelmed.” 美国加州大学这项研究的首席研究员凯瑟琳·斯塔夫罗普洛斯告诉《科学警报》杂志，“可爱的攻击性是大脑通过平衡我们被压垮的感觉来‘把我们拉回来’的方式。”可知，本文的写作目的是展示关于cute aggression的研究结果。故选C。 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。 Letting Go of What Holds You Back The truth is, we all only have a limited amount of time and energy each day. ___16___ Does that sound familiar? We’ve all been there — feeling overwhelmed, as if carrying a heavy load on our backs. Whether it’s physical stuff in your living space or metaphorical (比喻的) trash in life, it’s time for a spring cleaning. ___17___ To do one thing well, you must have the concentration and go all out. Once Warren Buffet famously said,“ Really successful people say no to almost everything.” He accumulated wealth by focusing laser- like on one thing — investing, and excelled in it by declining every other shiny distraction that crossed his path. Reflecting on our life, we’ve unconsciously collected mental and emotional “junk”. Maybe it’s excessive TV watching, continuous gaming, tiring friendships, aimless social media consumption. Honestly, I’ll bet we could all name at least one TV show we’ve been absorbed in out of boredom instead of doing something productive. So the first step is taking stock of exactly what’s weighing you down each day. Then it’s time to start de-junking, but go slow. ___18___ Try dumping one thing per week so it’s manageable. Another sneaky trick is to replace bad habits with good alternatives, like switching from endless browsing on social media to learning a new skill instead. ___19___ Once the unnecessary weight is lifted off you will have so much extra mental space and energy. ___20___ So say bye-bye to all the things holding you back and watch your success skyrocket as a result. Your future self will thank you. A. Detail the time you spend on activities each week. B. As a saying goes, jack (千斤顶) of all trades, master of none. C. Throwing everything out at once will just leave you stressed out. D. Or put away your phone while working, so you’ re not distracted. E. When it comes to letting go of trouble causers, you have many alternatives. F. Suddenly barriers seem not so tough when you’ re not battling ten things at once. G. If we shoulder more than we can, we’ll end up exhausted and going nowhere. 【答案】16. G 17. B 18. C 19. D 20. F 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章建议我们应该摆脱生活中那些阻碍我们前进的东西，从而拥有更多的精力和空间去追求成功。 【16题详解】 上文“The truth is, we all only have a limited amount of time and energy each day.(事实上，我们每天的时间和精力都是有限的)”指出我们每天的时间和精力有限，G项“如果我们承担的超出了我们的能力范围，我们最终会精疲力竭，一事无成”承接上文，说明过度承担的后果，与上文构成因果关系，符合语境。故选G项。 【17题详解】 下文“To do one thing well, you must have the concentration and go all out.(要做好一件事，你必须集中精力全力以赴)”表达的要专注于一件事，B项“俗话说，样样通，样样松”意思是如果做的事情太多太杂，就无法精通，与下文的观点一致。故选B项。 【18题详解】 上文“Then it’s time to start de-junking, but go slow.(然后是时候开始清理垃圾了，但要慢慢来)”提出要开始清理，但要慢慢来，C项“一次性把所有东西都扔掉只会让你压力山大”解释了为什么要慢慢来，上下文语意一致。故选C项。 【19题详解】 上文“Another sneaky trick is to replace bad habits with good alternatives, like switching from endless browsing on social media to learning a new skill instead.(另一个不错的技巧是用好的习惯来取代坏习惯，比如从无休止地浏览社交媒体转向学习一项新技能)”举例说明了用好习惯替代坏习惯，D项“或者在工作时把手机收起来，这样你就不会分心”也是一个用好习惯替代坏习惯的例子，与上文构成并列关系。故选D项。 【20题详解】 上文“Once the unnecessary weight is lifted off, you will have so much extra mental space and energy.(一旦不必要的负担被卸下，你就会有更多额外的精神空间和精力)”提到摆脱不必要的负担后会有更多的精神空间和精力，F项“当你不再同时处理十件事情时，突然之间障碍似乎就不那么难克服了”进一步说明摆脱负担后的好处，上下文语意连贯。故选F项。 第三部分：语言应用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下列短文，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。 When Mike visited Bali, he first took note of street vendors (摊贩).

I was in one of the many street markets of Luzhou, a small city located in China’s Sichuan Province. Already, a crowd of curious on - lookers was gathering: white - haired grandmas, toothless old men, mothers holding infants. Everyone was waiting, wondering why the foreigner was causing such a fuss (大惊小怪). I took a deep breath. The crowd leaned in. “Do you have a pumpkin?” I asked as clearly as possible. A mother holding an infant explained there was no pumpkin here in English. I had to move on to yet another market in my search for Halloween. As an American English teacher in China, the urge was strong to explain my country’s cultural traditions to my students. I’d had plenty of success in teaching the Chinese about significant United States holidays and events, Halloween being one of them. Yet I was now in a new teaching position, in a different region of the country which seems to have every kind of produce known to man except the one I wanted for Oct.31. I had learned that in teaching about Halloween, there was no substitute (替代品) for a carved pumpkin. Descriptions produced blank stares. Drawings were misinterpreted. Pictures only puzzled. Sure, I could give up showing a real jack-o’- lantern (南瓜灯) to my students. I could lecture on the history of this tradition, which had its origin in old beliefs about the return of the spirits of dead people. We could have a go at wearing masks, and role- play trick - or - treat. But nothing could compare with the pumpkin. For that reason, I was willing to go through just about anything to find a pumpkin for my students. In another section of the city, I headed to a big market. “Do you have a pumpkin?” I asked the seller I saw. “A what?” she seemed to be at a loss. However, I didn’t know how to make her understand what I wanted. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右; (2)请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Suddenly, an idea occurred to me. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On Oct. 31, I brought the carefully - carved pumpkin into the class. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Suddenly, an idea occurred to me. I could bridge the language gap with visuals! I drew a simple sketch of a pumpkin, complete with a stem on top and the characteristic ridges (纹路). “I need something like this,” I said, showing my drawing to the seller. She studied the sketch with curiosity, then looked up at me, understanding dawning on her face. After a moment, she disappeared behind a pile of produce and soon returned with a round, orange pumpkin. “That’s it!” I exclaimed, my face lit up with joy. Immediately I rushed back home, starting to carve my beautiful pumpkin. On Oct. 31, I brought the carefully- carved pumpkin into the class. The students gathered around, their eyes wide with curiosity as they observed the delicately carved face with a flickering candle inside. It was indeed a traditional jack-o’- lantern, and it captured the essence of the holiday. As the light cast shadows around the room, I began to tell them about the origins of Halloween, the legends of spirits and the custom of carving pumpkins to drive off evil spirits. They listened attentively, eyes fixed on me. We were all connected through the universal language of celebration and tradition despite the cultural differences. 【解析】 【导语】文章以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者作为一名在中国教英语的美国人，在教授学生关于万圣节的文化传统时，发现没有南瓜作为教学道具，这对他来说是不可或缺的。尽管他尝试了各种方式解释和寻找南瓜，但由于所在地区似乎没有南瓜这种农产品，他遇到了很大的困难。然而，为了让学生更好地理解和体验万圣节文化，他坚持不懈地寻找南瓜。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容“突然，我想到了一个主意。”可知，第一段可描写这个主意的具体内容以及作者实施的过程。 ②由第二段首句内容“10月31日，我把精心雕刻的南瓜带到了课堂上。”可知，第二段可描写学生们看到南瓜的反应，作者介绍传统文化的过程以及感悟。 2.续写线索：得到南瓜——雕刻南瓜——学生围观南瓜——分享节日传统——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 弥补：bridge/compensate for 展示：show/demonstrate 注视：fix on/gaze at 情绪类 快乐：joy/delight 专心地：attentively/intently 【点睛】[高分句型1] She studied the sketch with curiosity, then looked up at me, understanding dawning on her face.（运用了现在分词作状语） [高分句型2] As the light cast shadows around the room, I began to tell them about the origins of Halloween, the legends of spirits and the custom of carving pumpkins to drive off evil spirits.（运用了as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 $$
