For most of our days, our attention is focused on external things—the tasks of our jobs, TV programs, or social media interactions. In the moments when our attention isn’t focused externally, it’s usually focused on what is called “thought-chatter”—a stream of mental associations consisting of expectations of the future, memories, daydreams, and so on. But from time to time, we all experience moments when our thought-chatter quiets down, or even disappears altogether. In these moments, we experience a sense of great well-being. We feel a sense of inner harmony. We feel as if we’re free of problems, and feel satisfied with our lives as they are. There are many activities that have the effect of quieting our minds, and so produce a state of well-being. For example, think about what happens when you go walking in the countryside. You might feel stressed when you start out, but slowly, after a couple of miles, your mind begins to settle down. The beauty and stillness of nature attracts your attention and you’re no longer in your thought-chatter. By the end of the walk you feel almost like a different person. You feel more alive, and much happier—largely because your mind is now quiet. This is why people love to look at beautiful works of art. When people see the paintings of Monet or van Gogh, they experience a mind-stopping moment, in which they’re taken out of their thinking minds and experience a sense of great well-being. The strange thing is, though, that most of the time this happens unconsciously (不知不觉地). We usually don’t associate this well-being with a quiet mind. And we usually don’t think of a quiet mind as the aim or result of these activities. Our estimate of how enjoyable an activity is may depend on its mind-stopping capacity. In other words, the very best performances—and the most rewarding activities—are those which are so attractive and intense that they can completely stop our minds. I’m not saying that inner quietness is the only reason why we enjoy these activities. Nevertheless, we should certainly become more aware of the association of a quiet mind with well-being. And at the same time we should be aware that it’s possible for us to consciously and directly create a quiet mind; rather than as a byproduct of certain activities. And in the end we might develop a permanent quiet mind and attain a state of ongoing contentment and harmony. 4. What can be inferred about thought-chatter? A. It requires a lot of practice. B. It might be unpleasant at times. C. It might be a talk with a friend. D. It helps reach a state of silence. 5. What are the examples of activities mentioned in the text mainly about? A. What activities lead to well-being. B. What can be done to reduce stress. C. How we can make our minds quiet. D. How mental quietness leads to well-being. 6. How can we determine how much pleasure an activity can give us? A. By judging how much stress it can increase. B. By judging whether it takes place unconsciously. C. By judging to what extent it can quiet our minds. D. By judging whether it associates with well-being. 7. What does the author intend to highlight in the last paragraph? A. Creating a quiet mind for all time. B. Living a peaceful life permanently. C. Being in harmony with inner quietness. D. Participating in activities for inner quietness. C Shadows are often associated with darkness and uncertainty. Now, researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) are giving shadows a positive spin by demonstrating a way to harness this common but often overlooked optical (光学的) effect to generate electricity. The team created a device called a shadow-effect energy generator (SEG), which makes use of the contrast in illumination (照明) between lit and shadowed areas to generate electricity. It’s made up of a series of thin strips of gold film on a silicon layer, which is then placed on a flexible plastic base. “In conventional optoelectronics (光电子学) where a steady source of light is used to power devices, shadows are undesirable, since they degrade the performance of devices. In this work, we took advantage of the illumination contrast caused by shadows as an indirect source of power. The contrast in illumination causes a voltage (电压) difference between the shadow and illuminated sections, resulting in an electric current. This novel concept of harvesting energy in the presence of shadows is unprecedented.” explained research team leader Professor Tan Swee Ching. Mobile electronic devices such as smart phones, smart glasses and e-watches require efficient and continuous power supply. As these devices are worn both indoors and outdoors, wearable power sources that could harness surrounding light can potentially improve the function of these devices. While commercially available solar cells can perform this role in an outdoor environment, their energy harvesting efficiency drops significantly under indoor conditions where shadows are persistent. This new approach to maximizing the efficiency of energy harvesting is both exciting and timely. “When the whole SEG is under illumination or in shadow, the amount of electricity generated is very low or none at all. When a part of the SEG is illuminated, a significant electrical output is detected. We also found that the best surface area for electricity generation is when half of the SEG is illuminated and the other half in shadow, as this gives enough area for charge generation and collection respectively.” said co- team leader Professor Andrew Wee. The NUS researchers are also looking at developing wearable SEGs attached to clothing to harvest energy during normal daily activities. Another promising area of research is the development of low- cost SEG for efficient harvesting of energy from indoor lighting. 8. Why are shadows considered undesirable in traditional optoelectronics? A. They serve no useful purpose. B. They weaken device performance. C. They are rare in outdoor conditions. D. They are difficult to control or predict. 9. What do we know about the SEG? A. It’s specially designed to work in open areas. B. It will replace existing solar cells once and for all. C. It’s most effective when fully positioned in light or in shadow. D. It requires a balance of light and shadow to maximize electricity generation. 10. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A. The SEG is unlikely to work efficiently in dark places. B. The researchers are looking to reduce the cost of the SEG. C. The development of SEG is limited by its high production cost. D. The researchers are developing wearable SEGs attached to smart phones. 11. What does the text mainly talk about? A. An innovative use of shadows to generate electricity. B. The problems with shadows in conventional optoelectronics. C. The challenges of adapting technology for wearable devices. D. A need for efficient power supply in mobile electronic devices. 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 “Medicine and technology may fail us at times but human connection grounded in love and compassion always heals（治愈）.” Those words from Dr. Vivek Murthy are relatable to many of us in the medical community who increasingly encounter individuals suffering from loneliness.

Rafi finally caught up and then they rested in the shade. “I’m hungry. I know where there’s a great apple tree.” Sista said, “It belongs to an old lady called Susan who lives in the little house by the hill. I heard she’s stubborn, but that sometimes she gives fruit in return for an errand (跑腿).” “Let’s go,” Rafi said. They crossed a stream by hopping from rock to rock. Finally, upon a hilltop, they saw a splendid apple tree with bright red fruits. A small farmhouse stood at the bottom of the hill. Rafi’s heart pounded as Sista knocked on the door. An elderly woman answered. “Yes?” the lady asked, staring at the girls. “We heard ...” said Sista, her voice shaky, “that we could run an errand for you in exchange for apples.” Susan raised one eyebrow. “Ah, yes. ” She clicked her tongue. “Nothing is free, eh?” She led the girls into the kitchen. When passing the living room, Sista found that the wall was decorated with colourful crayon drawings (蜡笔画), which seemed to be children’s. She wondered who drew these since Susan was alone, with no grandchildren, even no families or relatives. The lady grabbed two baskets, one large and one small, and pushed them into the girls hands. “Go fill these with apples. Come right back.” The girls raced up the hill to the tree, climbed the branches, and picked the ripest apples. After filling the baskets, they returned to the house. Susan filled a bag with rice and dried beans, and then she handed it to Sista.“Take this bag and the large basket of apples to the Gomez family. Do you know them?” The girls nodded. Sista had heard that Mr. Gomez has been sick in bed for a long time and Mrs.Gomez has to raise three little kids. “Good. And ask them for the payment,” Susan added with a tight smile. 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。 Soon the girls were on the way to the Gomez’s house. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When Susan opened the envelope, the girls saw the payment! ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1-5　CBACC　6-10　BCACA　11-15　BBABA　16-20　BBAAC 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 江苏省扬州中学2023~2024学年高二第一学期检测 英语试卷 (考试时间：120分钟 满分：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。 1.

If you’re a typical human being, the answer is probably very rarely. For most of our days, our attention is focused on external things—the tasks of our jobs, TV programs, or social media interactions. In the moments when our attention isn’t focused externally, it’s usually focused on what is called “thought-chatter”—a stream of mental associations consisting of expectations of the future, memories, daydreams, and so on. But from time to time, we all experience moments when our thought-chatter quiets down, or even disappears altogether. In these moments, we experience a sense of great well-being. We feel a sense of inner harmony. We feel as if we’re free of problems, and feel satisfied with our lives as they are. There are many activities that have the effect of quieting our minds, and so produce a state of well-being. For example, think about what happens when you go walking in the countryside. You might feel stressed when you start out, but slowly, after a couple of miles, your mind begins to settle down. The beauty and stillness of nature attracts your attention and you’re no longer in your thought-chatter. By the end of the walk you feel almost like a different person. You feel more alive, and much happier—largely because your mind is now quiet. This is why people love to look at beautiful works of art. When people see the paintings of Monet or van Gogh, they experience a mind-stopping moment, in which they’re taken out of their thinking minds and experience a sense of great well-being. The strange thing is, though, that most of the time this happens unconsciously (不知不觉地). We usually don’t associate this well-being with a quiet mind. And we usually don’t think of a quiet mind as the aim or result of these activities. Our estimate of how enjoyable an activity is may depend on its mind-stopping capacity. In other words, the very best performances—and the most rewarding activities—are those which are so attractive and intense that they can completely stop our minds. I’m not saying that inner quietness is the only reason why we enjoy these activities. Nevertheless, we should certainly become more aware of the association of a quiet mind with well-being. And at the same time we should be aware that it’s possible for us to consciously and directly create a quiet mind; rather than as a byproduct of certain activities. And in the end we might develop a permanent quiet mind and attain a state of ongoing contentment and harmony. 4. What can be inferred about thought-chatter? A. It requires a lot of practice. B. It might be unpleasant at times. C. It might be a talk with a friend. D. It helps reach a state of silence. 5. What are the examples of activities mentioned in the text mainly about? A. What activities lead to well-being. B. What can be done to reduce stress. C. How we can make our minds quiet. D. How mental quietness leads to well-being. 6. How can we determine how much pleasure an activity can give us? A. By judging how much stress it can increase. B. By judging whether it takes place unconsciously. C. By judging to what extent it can quiet our minds. D. By judging whether it associates with well-being. 7. What does the author intend to highlight in the last paragraph? A. Creating a quiet mind for all time. B. Living a peaceful life permanently. C. Being in harmony with inner quietness. D. Participating in activities for inner quietness. 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. C 7. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要探讨了内心宁静与心理健康的关系，指出通过欣赏艺术和在自然中行走等活动，可以使思维静止，带来幸福感和内心和谐，并提出有意识地创造宁静心境可以带来持久的满足感。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段的“But from time to time, we all experience moments when our thought-chatter quiets down, or even disappears altogether. In these moments, we experience a sense of great well-being. We feel a sense of inner harmony. We feel as if we’re free of problems, and feel satisfied with our lives as they are. (但时不时地，我们都会经历这样的时刻：我们的“思想闲聊”安静下来，甚至完全消失。在这些时刻，我们体验到一种巨大的幸福感。我们感受到内心的和谐。我们觉得好像没有问题了，对我们的生活感到满意。)”可知，“思想闲聊”停下来时人们会感到快乐，因此它的发生有时可能会令人不愉快。故选B。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段的“For example, think about what happens when you-go walking in the countryside. You might feel stressed when you start out, but slowly, after-a couple of miles, your mind begins to settle down. The beauty and stillness of nature attracts your attention and you’re no longer in your thought-chatter. By the end of the walk you feel almost like a different person. You feel more alive, and much happier—largely because your mind is now quiet. (例如，想想当你在农村散步时会发生什么。刚开始的时候你可能会感到压力，但慢慢地，几英里后，你的头脑开始安定下来。大自然的美丽和宁静吸引了你的注意力，你不再“思想闲聊”。散步结束时，你几乎感觉自己变成了另一个人。你感觉更有活力，也更快乐——主要是因为你的头脑现在很安静。) ”可知，文中提到了在乡村散步和观看艺术作品等活动可以让心灵平静下来，并带来幸福感。因此，提到这些例子主要是为了说明心灵的平静是怎样带来幸福感的。故选D。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的“Our estimate of how enjoyable an activity is may depend on its mind-stopping capacity. In other words, the very best performances—and the most rewarding activities—are those which are so attractive and intense that they can completely stop our minds. (我们对一项活动有多愉快的估计可能取决于它让人停止思考的能力。换句话说，最好的表现和最有回报的活动是那些非常有吸引力和激烈的，它们可以完全停止我们的思想。)”可知，那些可以完全让我们停止思考的活动被认为是非常愉快和有益的，因此，我们对一项活动的享受取决于它在多大程度上能让我们的头脑平静下来。故选C。 7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段的“I’m not saying that inner quietness is the only reason why we enjoy these activities. Nevertheless, we should certainly become more aware of the association of a quiet mind with well-being. And at the same time we should be aware that it’s possible for us to consciously and directly create a quiet mind; rather than as a byproduct of certain activities. And in the end we might develop a permanent quiet mind and attain a state of ongoing contentment and harmony. (我并不是说内心的平静是我们喜欢这些活动的唯一原因。然而，我们当然应该更加意识到安静的头脑与幸福的联系。同时，我们应该意识到，我们有可能有意识地直接创造一个平静的头脑；而不是作为某些活动的副产品。最终，我们可能会发展出一种永久的平静心态，达到一种持续的满足与和谐的状态。)”可知，作者强调要更多地意识到安静的心灵和幸福之间的联系，要有意识地直接创造一个安静的头脑，潜在地带来持续的满足和和谐，而不仅仅是参与活动。故选A。 C Shadows are often associated with darkness and uncertainty. Now, researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) are giving shadows a positive spin by demonstrating a way to harness this common but often overlooked optical (光学的) effect to generate electricity. The team created a device called a shadow-effect energy generator (SEG), which makes use of the contrast in illumination (照明) between lit and shadowed areas to generate electricity. It’s made up of a series of thin strips of gold film on a silicon layer, which is then placed on a flexible plastic base. “In conventional optoelectronics (光电子学) where a steady source of light is used to power devices, shadows are undesirable, since they degrade the performance of devices. In this work, we took advantage of the illumination contrast caused by shadows as an indirect source of power. The contrast in illumination causes a voltage (电压) difference between the shadow and illuminated sections, resulting in an electric current. This novel concept of harvesting energy in the presence of shadows is unprecedented.” explained research team leader Professor Tan Swee Ching. Mobile electronic devices such as smart phones, smart glasses and e-watches require efficient and continuous power supply. As these devices are worn both indoors and outdoors, wearable power sources that could harness surrounding light can potentially improve the function of these devices. While commercially available solar cells can perform this role in an outdoor environment, their energy harvesting efficiency drops significantly under indoor conditions where shadows are persistent. This new approach to maximizing the efficiency of energy harvesting is both exciting and timely. “When the whole SEG is under illumination or in shadow, the amount of electricity generated is very low or none at all. When a part of the SEG is illuminated, a significant electrical output is detected. We also found that the best surface area for electricity generation is when half of the SEG is illuminated and the other half in shadow, as this gives enough area for charge generation and collection respectively.” said co- team leader Professor Andrew Wee. The NUS researchers are also looking at developing wearable SEGs attached to clothing to harvest energy during normal daily activities. Another promising area of research is the development of low- cost SEG for efficient harvesting of energy from indoor lighting. 8. Why are shadows considered undesirable in traditional optoelectronics? A. They serve no useful purpose. B. They weaken device performance. C. They are rare in outdoor conditions. D. They are difficult to control or predict. 9. What do we know about the SEG? A. It’s specially designed to work in open areas. B. It will replace existing solar cells once and for all. C. It’s most effective when fully positioned in light or in shadow. D. It requires a balance of light and shadow to maximize electricity generation. 10. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A. The SEG is unlikely to work efficiently in dark places. B. The researchers are looking to reduce the cost of the SEG. C. The development of SEG is limited by its high production cost. D The researchers are developing wearable SEGs attached to smart phones. 11. What does the text mainly talk about? A. An innovative use of shadows to generate electricity. B. The problems with shadows in conventional optoelectronics. C. The challenges of adapting technology for wearable devices. D. A need for efficient power supply in mobile electronic devices. 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. B 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了一项新的可产生电的发明，该发明利用明亮和阴影区域之间的照明对比来发电，该设备被称为“阴影效应能量发生器”。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段内容“In conventional optoelectronics where a steady source of light is used to power devices, shadows are undesirable, since they degrade the performance of devices.(在传统的光电子技术中，使用稳定的光源为设备供电，阴影是不可取的，因为它们会降低设备的性能。)”可知，阴影不可取的原因在于它们会降低设备的性能。故选B项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第五段内容“We also found that the best surface area for electricity generation is when half of the SEG is illuminated and the other half in shadow, as this gives enough area for charge generation and collection respectively.(我们还发现，发电的最佳表面积是当SEG的一半被照亮而另一半处于阴影中时，因为这分别为电荷的产生和收集提供了足够的面积。)”可知，当SEG的一半被照亮而另一半处于阴影中时，即，光影面积平衡时，可实现最佳发电表面积。由此可推知，它需要光和影的平衡来最大限度地发电。故选D项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章末尾段内容“Another promising area of research is the development of low-cost SEG for efficient harvesting of energy from indoor lighting.(另一个有前景的研究领域是开发低成本的SEG，以有效地从室内照明中收集能量。)”可知，开发低成本的SEG是有前景的。由此可推知，研究人员在寻求降低SEG的成本。故选B项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Now, researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) are giving shadows a positive spin by demonstrating a way to harness this common but often overlooked optical (光学的) effect to generate electricity.(现在，新加坡国立大学的研究人员正在给阴影一个积极的转变，他们展示了一种利用这种常见但常被忽视的光学效应来发电的方法。)”和文章第二段内容“The team created a device called a shadow-effect energy generator (SEG), which makes use of the contrast in illumination between lit and shadowed areas to generate electricity.(该团队创建了一种称为阴影效应能量发生器（SEG）的设备，该设备利用明亮和阴影区域之间的照明对比来发电。)”可知，文章主要以“阴影效应能量发生器（SEG）”为话题，对其原理和应用进行了阐述。因此，选项A“An innovative use of shadows to generate electricity.(一种利用阴影发电的创新方法。)”可对文章内容进行概述。故选A项。 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 “Medicine and technology may fail us at times, but human connection grounded in love and compassion always heals（治愈）.” Those words from Dr. Vivek Murthy are relatable to many of us in the medical community who increasingly encounter individuals suffering from loneliness.

Rafi finally caught up and then they rested in the shade. “I’m hungry. I know where there’s a great apple tree.” Sista said, “It belongs to an old lady called Susan who lives in the little house by the hill. I heard she’s stubborn, but that sometimes she gives fruit in return for an errand (跑腿).” “Let’s go,” Rafi said. They crossed a stream by hopping from rock to rock. Finally, upon a hilltop, they saw a splendid apple tree with bright red fruits. A small farmhouse stood at the bottom of the hill. Rafi’s heart pounded as Sista knocked on the door. An elderly woman answered. “Yes?” the lady asked, staring at the girls. “We heard ...” said Sista, her voice shaky, “that we could run an errand for you in exchange for apples.” Susan raised one eyebrow. “Ah, yes. ” She clicked her tongue. “Nothing is free, eh?” She led the girls into the kitchen. When passing the living room, Sista found that the wall was decorated with colourful crayon drawings (蜡笔画), which seemed to be children’s. She wondered who drew these since Susan was alone, with no grandchildren, even no families or relatives. The lady grabbed two baskets, one large and one small, and pushed them into the girls hands. “Go fill these with apples. Come right back.” The girls raced up the hill to the tree, climbed the branches, and picked the ripest apples. After filling the baskets, they returned to the house. Susan filled a bag with rice and dried beans, and then she handed it to Sista.“Take this bag and the large basket of apples to the Gomez family. Do you know them?” The girls nodded. Sista had heard that Mr. Gomez has been sick in bed for a long time and Mrs.Gomez has to raise three little kids. “Good. And ask them for the payment,” Susan added with a tight smile. 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。 Soon the girls were on the way to the Gomez’s house. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When Susan opened the envelope, the girls saw the payment! ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Soon the girls were on the way to the Gomez’s house. All the way, they wrestled with the bag and the large basket of apples. “What a heavy basket!” , they complained. Finally, they arrived at the Gomez home, sweating like a pig. Mrs. Gomez answered the door. The girls held up the food and said, “This is from Susan.” Mrs. Gomez replied, “Thank you.” Rafi looked down. “She said to ask you for the payment, too.” Mrs. Gomez handed Sista a large sealed envelope stuffed very full. Back at the farmhouse, the girls immediately handed Susan the envelope. When Susan opened the envelope, the girls saw the payment. “Beautiful!” She began pinning the payment-crayon drawings to the wall. Rafi and Sista broke into laughter, now knowing that what Susan had done was actually not a deal but a favor for the family. After Susan finished, she joined the girls again. “And here’s your payment,” she said, handing the small basket of apples to the girls. As they walked home, Rafi and Sista enjoyed their treat. The juice was as sweet and warm as the feeling they had inside. 【解析】 【导语】本文是以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了 Sista和Rafi去一个叫Susan的老太太家，想要用差事来换取苹果，后来Susan老太太就让两个小女孩去苹果树摘了两袋苹果，并让她们把苹果和一袋大米和豆子送去戈麦斯家里去，而后故事由此展开。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“很快，女孩们就踏上了去戈麦斯家的路。”可知，第一段可描写Sista和Rafi是如何带着两袋苹果和一袋大米和豆子去往戈麦斯家，并按照Susan的要求获取报酬的。 ②由第二段首句内容“当苏珊打开信封时，女孩们看到了报酬。”可知，第二段可就信封的内容实际上就是那一幅幅孩子们的画来展开，Sista和Rafi最后也得到了她们想要的苹果。 2. 续写线索：女孩们扛着两袋苹果和一袋大米豆子前往戈麦斯家——戈麦斯夫人表示谢意并给出信封作为报酬——苏珊打开信封——将蜡笔画钉在墙上——苏珊给Sista和Rafi一袋苹果作为报酬——回家的路上内心觉得甜美温暖。 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①举起：hold up / lift up/ raise up ②到达：arrive/ reach/ get to ③递给：hand / pass/ deliver 情绪类 ①突然露出笑容：break out in smiles/ burst out laughing/ burst into laughters ②甜蜜的：sweet/ honey/treacly 【点睛】[高分句型1]Rafi and Sista broke out in smiles, now knowing that what Susan had done was actually not a deal but a favor for the family.(运用了that引导的宾语从句和what引导的主语从句) [高分句型2]As they walked home, Rafi and Sista enjoyed their treat.(运用了as引导的时间状语从句) 1-5　CBACC　6-10　BCACA　11-15　BBABA　16-20　BBAAC 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
