B As a child, gardening was something my grandpa and his father could do together. He explained, “Some kids like to play football with their dads, while I thought it was more valuable to garden.” He learned a lot about gardening from his father, including the best variety of tomato-the Porter tomato, which was the only kind my great-grandfather grew, and is now the only kind my grandpa grows. Planting these tomatoes always reminds him of his dad and good memories in the garden together. In the garden that he has spent years perfecting, my grandpa grows his favorite vegetables both to consume and to share. Everything in the garden is grown organically. In his eyes, the value of gardening can be found in the physical exercise, the relaxation and the opportunity to share. While my dad didn’t quite follow the tradition of enjoying gardening with his dad when he was a child, he rekindled the flame a little later in life. When my little sister Elizabeth and I were growing up, he realized that he wanted us to know where real food comes from and that growing it was something we were capable of doing. In addition to this important life lesson, my-dad explained, “There is something peaceful and relaxing about working in the dirt and caring for a plant. It is rewarding to grow something so healthy and wholesome.” Gardening with my father is something that I enjoy doing. Although I am not always fond of the work and find it sad when plants die, I have fun when gardening and enjoy watching plants grow as the fruits of my labor. And as a mom and a role model for my kids, I plan to teach them this valuable tradition. It’s something everyone should know, and it brings a sense of joy. 4. Why does the author mention the Porter tomato in paragraph 1? A. To publicize a tasty variety of tomato. B. To highlight the passing down of a tradition. C. To show her grandpa’s talent for gardening. D. To present her family’s love for the vegetable 5. What does the underlined phrase “rekindled the flame” mean in paragraph 3? A. Learned gardening from parents. B. Got back into gardening. C. Created a new family tradition. D. Reviewed the gardening history. 6. What do the author’s grandpa and dad think about gardening in common? A. It can make people relaxed. B. It can create precious memories C. It can build up people’s bodies. D. It can develop gratitude for food. 7. What is the author going to do next? A. Cultivate her kids’ habits of gardening. B. Try to stop plants in the garden from dying. C. Plant favorite vegetables in the garden. D. Spend more time gardening with her father. C This month, the Internet was flooded with wonderful digital art portraits, thanks to the work of the latest artificial intelligence-assisted application to go viral: Lensa. Users uploaded their photographs to the App and then—for a small fee—it used AI to transform their profile pictures into, say, a magical warrior princess version of themselves, in no time at all. This year has seen a breakthrough for AI-driven image generators, which are now better than ever in quality, speed and affordability. If that sounds great to you, you might not be one of the millions of humans whose livelihoods depend on being able to exchange those skills for money. Some artists predicted that a computer would recreate the aura of a masterpiece by Leonardo da Vinci in the near future. As long as there are enough data for the AI to train itself, it can copy numerous masterpieces just in several minutes. It seems unavoidable that a large number of artists would lose their jobs. “I see it less as a threat and more of an opportunity,” the UK-based illustrator Michelle Thompson said, adding, “Like everything else, there will always be artists who can use the tools better.” These tools are only as good as the data sets they are trained on. Human imagination, on the other hand, has no limit. For Dryhurst, an artist from Germany, AI models “could attempt to make a pale version of something we did years ago”, but that “doesn’t account for what we might do next”. The kind of artificial intelligence we might imagine replacing artists—an entirely autonomous creative robot—does not yet exist, but it is coming. And as AI becomes more universal, artists, illustrators and designers will ultimately be set apart not by if, but by how, they use the technology. 8. Why does the author mention Lensa in Paragraph 1? A. To recommend the new App. B. To inform latest news. C. To lead in the AI topic. D. To introduce its new function. 9. What is Michelle Thompson’s attitude towards AI? A. Concerned. B. Favorable. C. Unclear. D. Critical. 10. What might be a weakness of AI in creating art works? A Accuracy. B. Diversity. C. Creativity. D. Efficiency. 11. Which can be the best title for the text? A. Is AI coming into our daily life? B. Can AI copy masterpieces of great artists? C. Shall we welcome new AI technology? D. Will AI replace artists in the future? D It is not just the environment and the economy that are threatened by a warmer climate, but also culture and traditions around the world. Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have mapped what little is known about how climate change is gradually destroying local knowledge and cultural heritage. “We risk losing the memory of native people’s ways of life without this type of documentation,” says Guy Jackson at Lund University, one of the authors of a literature study. One conclusion of the study is that cultural heritage is primarily seen as something of material value, such as a historic building, and the loss is seen as a potential future problem, even though there is evidence that it is already happening. Focusing on material losses means that important traditions and knowledge systems are overlooked. “There are also many non-material losses that are valuable for both individual identity and group identity,” says Guy Jackson. The study shows a clear connection between loss of native cultural heritage and changes in the natural environment. For example, songs and working methods change when groups lose traditions linked to a physical location. One scientific article points out that identity is closely linked to the environment, “ Inuit people (因纽特人) in Canada are people of sea ice. If there is no. more sea ice, how can they be people of sea ice?” Loss of traditions and cultural heritage can make it more difficult to deal with climate change, and weaken social togetherness, as people lose touch with traditional ways of life. It also raises the question whether we can expect native people to protect and preserve rainforests and other ecosystems. The researchers hope that the literature study can read to more targeted research. They want to see a larger focus on how to handle, minimize and tackle future losses. “Science should contribute by developing practical solutions and strategies that help with adaptation to the losses that have already happened,” Guy Jackson concludes. 12. What can we learn from the first two paragraphs? A. Climate change causes cultural loss. B. The economy affects the environment. C. Cultural loss is a current problem. D. The native people are being forgotten. 13. What does the study show about the loss of native cultural heritage? A. It is seriously overestimated by scientists. B. It has brought great damage to Canadians. C. It has transformed global working methods. D. It is closely related to environmental changes. 14. What is paragraph 5 mainly about concerning the loss of traditions and cultural heritage? A. Its natural origins. B. Its negative results. C Its potential reasons. D. Its effective solutions. 15. What is the main idea of the text? A. The unknown threats to the local knowledge. B. The practical solutions to some cultural issues. C. The climate change’s effect on culture and traditions. D. The various losses of important culture and traditions. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，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。 When you read articles or watch TV, you may meet with the words, “citizen science(公众科学)”,every now and then. ____16____ It’s scientific research done, in whole or in part, by non-professional (非专业的)scientists in public. They can include teachers, students, etc. and act as volunteers. ____17____For researchers, citizen science can greatly expand ( 扩大 )the area of a study without making it costly. For example, a bird survey involving volunteers can cover North America in a few weeks and cost a small amount of money. However, paying scientists to perform the same survey would be very expensive, and it would make the study harder. For volunteers, citizen science can increase their knowledge of science. Besides, it can be fun and sometimes quite interesting. Many volunteers join in citizen science because they are interested in the environment. ____18____ As to where citizen science takes place, it depends on different research programs. Some will require people to go to a challenging place in the wild. ____19____Many universities, for example, have certain programs which invite local gardeners to study their plants and offer scientists information on their plants from their gardens. If you want to take part in a citizen science project, you should start by being clear about what topic you like. ____20____If they agree with your request, you can offer your help as a citizen scientist. A. This term is also known as “crowd science”. B. Some people may hate taking part in citizen science. C. Making these people do research has great advantages. D. For example, volunteers can carry out research in their gardens. E. And they’d like a chance to communicate with real scientists in the field. F. Then call a certain organization and ask if you can help with one of its projects. G. But some research programs can save people the trouble of traveling a long way to work. 第三部分 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，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Dwi Agustya Ningrum started volunteering as a Greenpeace firefighter after the great forest fire in Riau Indonesia, in 2015.

After all, it was Mother's Day-and 800 miles separated her from her parents in Ohio. She had called her mother that morning to wish her a happy Mother's Day, and her mother had mentioned how colorful the yard was now that spring had arrived. As they talked, the younger woman could almost smell the fragrance(香味）of purple lilacs(紫丁香） hanging on the big bush outside her parents' back door. Later,when she mentioned to her husband how she missed those lilacs, he popped up from his chair. “I know where we can find all you want," he said. So off they went, driving the country roads of northern Rhode Island on the kind of day only mid-may can produce: warm sunshine, unclouded blue skies and vibrant(充满生机的） newness of the green and growing all around. Before they got halfway up the hill, the fragrance of the lilacs drifted down to them, and the kids started running. Soon, the mother began running, too, until she reached the top. With a smile, the young woman rushed up to the nearest bush and buried her face in the flowers, drinking in the fragrance and the memories it brought back. Carefully, she chose a sprig(小枝） here, another one there. Finally, though, they returned their car for the trip home.While the kids chattered and the man drove, the woman sat smiling, surrounded by her flowers, a faraway look in her eyes. When they were within three miles for home, she suddenly shouted to her husband, “Stop the car. Stop right here!" The man slammed on the brakes(刹车）. Before he could ask her why she wanted to stop. the woman was out of the car and hurrying up a nearby grassy slope (斜坡） with the lilacs still in her arms. At the top of the hill was a nursing home and, because it was such a beautiful spring day, the patients were outdoors strolling with relatives or sitting on the porch. Among them was an elderly lady, sitting in her wheelchair alone, head bowed, her back to most of the others. 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。 The young woman went directly to her, holding the flowers tightly.. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “Mom who was that lady?" the kids asked as the car pulled away.. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1-5 BCBAB 6-10ABACC 11-15 BAAAC 16-20 BACCB 高二上期第一次月考 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） 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.

This September, I am going to Canada for further education for half a year. I wonder if you could help me find a proper flat and a roommate. As for the flat, I would really like to rent one with a kitchen, since I am not quite used to Western food and I love cooking. Internet access is a must. As you know, some assignments will require students to search for information on the Internet. I would prefer a roommate who is friendly and respects others’ privacy. If he/she is easy-going, it would be much nicer. I am extremely grateful for all your help. Looking forward to your early reply. Yours, Li Hua 第二节（满分25分） 【47题答案】 【答案】The young woman went directly to her, holding the flowers tightly. Across the porch railing went the flowers, onto the lap of the old woman. She lifted her head slowly, eyes wide with confusion. The young woman bent down, holding her hands gently and said, “Happy Mother’s Day! They are flowers from a daughter.” The old lady’s eyes narrowed in delight, her face lit up with a smile. The two women chatted like old friends for a while and then the young woman ran back to her family. “Mom, who was that lady?” the kids asked as the car pulled away. “I don’t know.” “But why did you give all your favourite flowers to her?” The kids protested. “It’s Mother’s Day today, but she seemed alone. After all, who wouldn’t be cheered up by flowers?” The mother explained patiently, holding the kids tightly in her arms, “I have all of you, and I still have my mother, even if she is far away. That woman needs those flowers more than I do.” The kids seemed to have understood the true meaning of lilacs, the rich fragrance of which would always permeated around them. 1-5 BCBAB 6-10ABACC 11-15 BAAAC 16-20 BACCB 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
