History This city of over 3 million people is proud of Western Europe’s largest royal palace, and some consider it to be Madrid’s most beautiful building. Inside the royal palace 2,800 rooms are decorated in glory with museum quality furniture and artworks. Tourists can tour 50 of these large and splendid rooms. Shopping Madrid has some of Europe’s best shopping malls, and potential buyers love to look through the stores looking for bargains. But for 500 years, shoppers have gathered to an extremely large outdoor flea market known as the Rastro which is noted for selling everything from antiques to CDs. Entertainment No trip to Madrid is complete without seeing a performance of Spain’s famous art form, flamenco. Every day, flamenco performers sing, dance or play the guitar in small cafes and grand theaters alike. Food Madrid has a wide variety of restaurants but because the Spanish typically eat late at about 9 or 10 pm, it’s difficult to find good dinner food earlier. If you get hungry before then, the best solution is to try a tapas bar where light snacks are served. Be sure to try the jamon,a kind of dry-cured ham: Spain is famous for it. 1. What do we know about the royal palace in Madrid? A. It can hold 2,800 people. B. It offers 50 rooms for visit. C. It’s been visited by 3 million people. D. It is thought to be the largest palace in Europe. 2. What is the Rastro famous for? A. Good dinner food. B. Various goods. C. Its art performances. D. Its special location. 3 What is a must when travelling in Madrid according to the text? A. Touring the Royal Palace. B. Photographing fine artworks. C. Enjoying flamenco. D. Tasting light snacks. B As a boy I was always small for my age. I was also five years younger than one of my brothers and seven years younger than the other. As a result I often felt left out when their friends came over to play. I was either too small or too young for whatever they were doing and they didn’t want me to listen to their conventions, either. More often than not I found myself outside playing alone and feeling forgotten. I remember one spring afternoon feeling especially lonely as I sat in the yard behind our house. We lived miles from town and I rarely saw my own friends outside of school. I heard my brothers laughing from inside the house and felt tears coming down my cheek. At that moment I saw a large brown dog walking over to me. He looked happy and his tail was wagging as well. Even though he didn’t know me, he greeted me like a long-lost friend, licking my feet and sitting beside me on the spring grass. It must have been for at least an hour that I petted and talked to this four-legged angel. He let me pour out all my troubles and share my deepest thoughts before he kissed my cheek goodbye. I went back inside feeling happy, knowing that no matter what life may hold, I was loved. Now over 40 years later I still remember that angel with a smile. I believe that God sent him in that moment of sadness to remind me just how much he loved me. In truth, nothing brings us greater joy than knowing we are loved. Knowing we are loved gives us the strength to love others as well. Knowing we are loved aids us in making Earth more like Heaven. Embrace that love, take joy in it, and then go out and share your own love with the world. 4. When the author’s brother’s friends came to their house, the author ________. A. couldn’t play with them B. was permitted to listen to their talk C. was unwilling to communicate with them D. was happy to take part in their activities 5. What can we conclude from the second paragraph? A. The large brown dog frightened the author. B. The author preferred to be in a quiet place. C The dog greeted him like a long-lost friend. D. The author often invited many friends to his house. 6. When the author returned to his home, ________. A. he felt much happier than before B. he led this four-legged angel home C. he shared his thoughts with his brothers D. he was unwilling to play with his brothers 7. What does the text mainly want to express? A. We should take care of dogs. B. We must know we are loved. C. We need to give our love to others. D. We can play with our brothers happily. C The key to effective cross-cultural communication is knowledge. First, it is essential that people understand the potential problems of cross-cultural communication, and make a conscious effort to overcome these problems. Second, it is important to assume that one’s efforts will not always be successful, and adjust one’s behaviour appropriately. For example, one should always assume that there is a great possibility that cultural differences are causing communication problems. One should respond slowly and carefully in cross-cultural exchanges, not jumping to the conclusion that you know what is being thought and said. William Ury’s suggestion for heated conflicts is to stop, listen and think and he advises going to the balcony when the situation gets tense (紧张的). This helps in cross-cultural communication as well. When things seem to be going badly, stop or slow down and think. What could be going on here? Is it possible that I misinterpreted what they said? Active listening can sometimes be used to check this out — by repeating what one thinks he or she heard, one can confirm that he or she understands the communication accurately. Often intermediaries (调解人) can be helpful in cross-cultural communication situations. They can translate both the essential meaning and the manner of what is said. For example, they can tone down strong statements that would be considered appropriate in one culture but not in another, before they are given to people from a culture that does not talk together in such a strong way. They can also adjust the timing of what is said and done. Some cultures move quickly to the point; others talk about other things long enough to establish a relationship with the other person. If discussion on the primary topic begins too soon, the group that needs a “warm-up” first will feel uncomfortable. An intermediary who understands this can explain the problem, and make appropriate adjustments. 8. What is the most important thing in cross-cultural communication? A. Knowledge of your own culture. B. The ability to take in different opinions. C. Awareness of the problems that may arise. D. Successful efforts to change your behaviour. 9. Which character helps prevent communication problems? A. Patience. B. Honesty. C. Generosity. D. Stubbornness. 10. What does the underlined phrase “going to the balcony” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Going outside and enjoying fresh air. B. Dealing with the conflicts in a secret way. C. Exchanging positions with each other. D. Getting out of the situation temporarily. 11. What is the requirement for an intermediary? A. To be an experienced translator. B. To behave properly all through a discussion. C. To be directly involved in a discussion. D. To know both cultures very well. D One of the important, but seldom-discussed, problems in healthcare reform is how to take care of our aging population as people continue to live longer. According to a new study from the MacArthur Research Network on an Aging Society, by 2050 Americans may live 3.1 to 7. 9 years longer than the government expects. That would mean women would live 89 to 93 years and men 83 to nearly 86 years. The researchers base their conclusion on "rapid advances in biomedical（生物医药）technology that delay the start and progression of major deadly diseases or that slow the aging process・” While this is good news, especially for the young, the life expectancy, which is in excess of（超过）the government's estimates, would raise costs sharply for Medicare and Social Security. If the study's predictions are accurate, the total cost for those two programs through 2050 could be between $ 3. 2 trillion and $ & 3 trillion higher than the US Census Bureau（人口普查局）and the Social Security Administration currently expect. And that's only the beginning. With anticipated scientific breakthroughs in coming decades, people could eventually live to 150 years of age, says Dr. Steven Joyal, an official of the Life Extension Foundation (LEF) a nonprofit organization that promotes research on how we can live longer and healthier. The MacArthur paper, in fact, says that some experts believe the average life expectancy could hit 100 by 2060. What's more, Joyal says, the conquest（战胜）of disease and the slowing of the aging process will lead to a sharp decline in disability, allowing people of advanced age to function as well as they did when they were much younger. "In other words, a 90-year-old person could have the same mental and physical capacity as somebody 40 or 50 years old." 12. What does the new study show? A. Americans will live much longer by 2050 than they do now. B. Great progress has been made in the US in public security. C. Few people pay attention to the health care reform in the US. D. Fewer Americans suffer from deadly disease now than before. 13. What probably helps American” live much longer? A. Social security. B. Biomedical technology. C. Healthcare reform. D. New research in health cam. 14. What problem may a longer life expectancy in the US lead to? A. The aging process will speed up. B. It adds to the chance of being disabled. C. The old will have some mental problems. D. It will increase public costs for the government. 15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. Life for Senior Citizens in the US B. The Longer Life Expectancy in the Future C. The Disadvantage of Longer Life Expectancy D. What Can Be Done to Support So Many Aged People 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。 Nowadays many college students are trying to find a part-time job to earn extra money.

My family and friends were all smiling at me. There were colorful balloons all over the house, a big poster saying "HAPPY BIRTHDAY'', and of course a cake with 12 candles. It was a wonderful feeling. I knew that I had finally turned twelve and I might possibly get the thing I wanted most. I saw my mom and dad coming towards me with a small box which seemed to be a birthday present. When I opened the box, I couldn't believe my eyes. I had really gotten a mobile phone! Throwing myself into their arms, I let out a cry of joy, “Thank you! I love you guys!” “You're welcome. We knew this was going to make you happy but we didn't only get you this because you turned twelve, but also because you are doing well in school. We expect you to keep getting good grades." “Of course I will." I said confidently. As soon as I got to school the next morning, I was showing off my phone and asking everyone for their number. It was cool how I got so many contacts on the first day. It felt like I didn't even exist in that class anymore. I wouldn't pay much attention to the teachers because I was too busy on my phone. However, I didn't get caught using it. I am pretty sure that the teacher did notice that I stopped paying attention to her because a week later we took a test and I failed. What was worse, my mom had to sign the test. It was hard to show my mom the test. She was used to seeing A's and B's on my tests. Finally, I showed it to her, and she couldn't believe it. She was angry but most of all, she was disappointed. 注意： 1.续写短文的词数应为150左右； 2,续写部分分为两段，每段的开头已给出。 Paragraph 1: Realizing the reason for my failure, my parents started to dislike the fact that I had a phone. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Then I started to wonder if I was wrong. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 会泽县茚旺高中2024年春季学期高二年级期中考试 英语试卷 考生注意： 1. 满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 2. 考生作答时，请将答案答在答题卡上。选择题每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑；非选择题请用直径0.5毫米黑色墨水签字笔在答题卡上各题的答题区域内作答，超出答题区域书写的答案无效，在试题卷、草稿纸上作答无效。 3. 本卷命题范围：至选择性必修第四册Unit 1 Vocabulary。 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。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.

C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。主要介绍了马德里这一城市的相关信息。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据History部分“Tourists can tour 50 of these large and splendid rooms.(游客可以参观其中50个宽敞而华丽的房间)”可知，马德里的the royal palace可以提供50个房间给游客参观。故选B。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Shopping部分“But for 500 years, shoppers have gathered to an extremely large outdoor flea market known as the Rastro which is noted for selling everything from antiques to CDs.(但500年来，购物者聚集在一个名为Rastro的超大户外跳蚤市场，该市场以出售从古董到CD的所有东西而闻名)”可知，Rastro因出售多样化的商品而闻名。故选B。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Entertainment部分“No trip to Madrid is complete without seeing a performance of Spain’s famous art form, flamenco.(没有看过西班牙著名艺术形式弗拉门戈的表演，马德里之旅就不完整)”可知，去马德里旅行时，如果不观看flamenco，那么这次旅行就是不完整的，即flamenco是去马德里旅行必须要参观的。故选C。 B As a boy I was always small for my age.

First, it is essential that people understand the potential problems of cross-cultural communication, and make a conscious effort to overcome these problems. Second, it is important to assume that one’s efforts will not always be successful, and adjust one’s behaviour appropriately. For example, one should always assume that there is a great possibility that cultural differences are causing communication problems. One should respond slowly and carefully in cross-cultural exchanges, not jumping to the conclusion that you know what is being thought and said. William Ury’s suggestion for heated conflicts is to stop, listen and think and he advises going to the balcony when the situation gets tense (紧张的). This helps in cross-cultural communication as well. When things seem to be going badly, stop or slow down and think. What could be going on here? Is it possible that I misinterpreted what they said? Active listening can sometimes be used to check this out — by repeating what one thinks he or she heard, one can confirm that he or she understands the communication accurately. Often intermediaries (调解人) can be helpful in cross-cultural communication situations. They can translate both the essential meaning and the manner of what is said. For example, they can tone down strong statements that would be considered appropriate in one culture but not in another, before they are given to people from a culture that does not talk together in such a strong way. They can also adjust the timing of what is said and done. Some cultures move quickly to the point; others talk about other things long enough to establish a relationship with the other person. If discussion on the primary topic begins too soon, the group that needs a “warm-up” first will feel uncomfortable. An intermediary who understands this can explain the problem, and make appropriate adjustments. 8. What is the most important thing in cross-cultural communication? A. Knowledge of your own culture. B. The ability to take in different opinions. C. Awareness of the problems that may arise. D. Successful efforts to change your behaviour. 9. Which character helps prevent communication problems? A Patience. B. Honesty. C. Generosity. D. Stubbornness. 10. What does the underlined phrase “going to the balcony” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Going outside and enjoying fresh air. B. Dealing with the conflicts in a secret way. C. Exchanging positions with each other. D. Getting out of the situation temporarily. 11. What is the requirement for an intermediary? A. To be an experienced translator. B. To behave properly all through a discussion. C. To be directly involved in a discussion. D. To know both cultures very well. 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. D 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章围绕“有效跨文化交流的关键在于知识”这一主题展开，通过提出论点、列举论据和给出建议等方式，探讨了如何在跨文化交流中克服文化差异、提高交流效果的问题。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“The key to effective cross-cultural communication is knowledge. First, it is essential that people understand the potential problems of cross-cultural communication, and make a conscious effort to overcome these problems.(有效跨文化交流的关键在于知识。首先，人们必须了解跨文化交流可能遇到的问题，并有意识地努力克服这些问题。)”可知，对跨文化交流中可能出现的问题的意识是有效跨文化交流的基础和关键。故选C。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“One should respond slowly and carefully in cross-cultural exchanges, not jumping to the conclusion that you know what is being thought and said.(在跨文化交流中，应该反应缓慢而谨慎，不要急于下结论，认为自己已经了解对方的想法和说法。)”可知，在跨文化交流中，耐心是一个重要的品质，它有助于避免因为误解或仓促下结论而导致的沟通问题。故选A。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线短语上下文以及所在句“William Ury’s suggestion for heated conflicts is to stop, listen and think and he advises going to the balcony when the situation gets tense (紧张的). This helps in cross-cultural communication as well. When things seem to be going badly, stop or slow down and think.(William Ury对于激烈冲突的建议是停下来、倾听和思考，他还建议在情况变得紧张时going to the balcony。这同样有助于跨文化交流。当事情似乎进展不顺时，停下来或放慢速度并思考。)”可推测，这里的“going to the balcony(去阳台)”是一个比喻，意在表达在冲突或紧张情况发生时，人们应该暂时从当前的情境中抽离出来，以便更好地冷静思考和处理问题。故选D。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Often intermediaries (调解人) can be helpful in cross-cultural communication situations. They can translate both the essential meaning and the manner of what is said. For example, they can tone down strong statements that would be considered appropriate in one culture but not in another, before they are given to people from a culture that does not talk together in such a strong way. They can also adjust the timing of what is said and done.(在跨文化交流情境中，调解人往往能发挥很大作用。他们可以翻译所说内容的本质意义和说话方式。例如，在向那些不习惯直截了当表达方式的文化背景的人传达信息之前，调解人可以先缓和那些在一个文化中可能被视为恰当但在另一个文化中却不被接受的强烈说法。他们还可以调整所说和所做事情的时机。)”可知，调解人的主要作用是在两种文化之间架起沟通的桥梁，这要求他们不仅理解所说内容的本质意义，还要理解说话的方式，即要非常了解两种文化及其交流方式。故选D。 D One of the important, but seldom-discussed, problems in healthcare reform is how to take care of our aging population as people continue to live longer. According to a new study from the MacArthur Research Network on an Aging Society, by 2050 Americans may live 3.1 to 7. 9 years longer than the government expects. That would mean women would live 89 to 93 years and men 83 to nearly 86 years. The researchers base their conclusion on "rapid advances in biomedical（生物医药）technology that delay the start and progression of major deadly diseases or that slow the aging process・” While this is good news, especially for the young, the life expectancy, which is in excess of（超过）the government's estimates, would raise costs sharply for Medicare and Social Security. If the study's predictions are accurate, the total cost for those two programs through 2050 could be between $ 3. 2 trillion and $ & 3 trillion higher than the US Census Bureau（人口普查局）and the Social Security Administration currently expect. And that's only the beginning. With anticipated scientific breakthroughs in coming decades, people could eventually live to 150 years of age, says Dr. Steven Joyal, an official of the Life Extension Foundation (LEF) a nonprofit organization that promotes research on how we can live longer and healthier. The MacArthur paper, in fact, says that some experts believe the average life expectancy could hit 100 by 2060. What's more, Joyal says, the conquest（战胜）of disease and the slowing of the aging process will lead to a sharp decline in disability, allowing people of advanced age to function as well as they did when they were much younger. "In other words, a 90-year-old person could have the same mental and physical capacity as somebody 40 or 50 years old." 12. What does the new study show? A. Americans will live much longer by 2050 than they do now. B. Great progress has been made in the US in public security. C. Few people pay attention to the health care reform in the US. D. Fewer Americans suffer from deadly disease now than before. 13. What probably helps American” live much longer? A. Social security. B. Biomedical technology. C. Healthcare reform. D. New research in health cam. 14. What problem may a longer life expectancy in the US lead to? A. The aging process will speed up. B. It adds to the chance of being disabled. C. The old will have some mental problems. D. It will increase public costs for the government. 15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. Life for Senior Citizens in the US B. The Longer Life Expectancy in the Future C. The Disadvantage of Longer Life Expectancy D. What Can Be Done to Support So Many Aged People 【答案】12. A 13. B 14. D 15. B 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了，由于生物医药技术的快速发展，未来人类预期的寿命会更长久，这是一个好消息，但随之也带来了一些难题。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。由第一段中的“According to a new study from the MacArthur Research Network on an Aging Society, by 2050 Americans may live 3.1 to 7. 9 years longer than the government expects. According to a new study from the MacArthur Research Network... live 89 to 93 years and men 83 to nearly 86 years.”（根据麦克阿瑟研究网络关于老龄化社会的最新研究，到2050年，美国人的寿命比政府预计的要多活3.1到7年。这意味着女性将活到89到93岁，而男性将活到83到86岁。）可知，这项新的研究表明，到2050年的时候，美国人会活得更加长久。故选A项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。由第一段中的“The researchers base their conclusion on ‘rapid advances in biomedical（生物医药）technology that delay the start and progression of major deadly diseases or that slow the aging process.’”（研究人员的结论基于“生物医学技术的快速发展，这些技术可以延缓主要致命疾病的发生和发展，或延缓衰老过程。”）可推知，最可能是生物医药的运用使得美国人未来寿命更长久。故选B项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。由第二段中的“While this is good news, especially for the young, the life expectancy, which is in excess of（超过）the government's estimates, would raise costs sharply for Medicare and Social Security.”（虽然这是一个好消息，尤其是对年轻人来说，预期寿命超过了政府的估计，但这将大大提高医疗保险和社会保障的成本。），可知预期寿命的延长可能会加大医疗保险和社会保障的成本，可得出美国的预期寿命延长会导致增加政府的公共支出。故选D项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。第一段讲“生物医药的运用会使得美国人未来寿命更长久”，第二段讲“美国的预期寿命延长会导致增加政府的公共支出”，第三段讲“随着未来几十年科学突破的预期，人们最终可以活到150岁，到2060年，平均预期寿命可能达到100岁”，第四段讲“疾病的征服和老龄化进程的减缓将导致残疾率的急剧下降，使老年人的功能和年轻时一样好。”，综合本文的内容可知，本文主要讲述了未来预期寿命的延长的事情，B项“未来的预期寿命更长”符合文意。故选B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可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Nowadays many college students are trying to find a part-time job to earn extra money.

From my own personal experience I can say that it’s possible to combine your part-time job and study.(现在许多大学生都在努力找一份兼职工作来赚取额外的钱。根据我个人的经验，我可以说兼职工作和学业是可以兼顾的。)”可知，上文提到大学生可以兼职。选项B“Luckily, there’s a wide choice of such jobs.(幸运的是，这样的工作有很多选择。)”承接上文，指出有很多工作；同时引出下文“Now check out the list of some part-time jobs for college students.(现在来看看大学生的一些兼职工作清单)”。故选B。 【17题详解】 根据空后内容“If you are good at some subjects, why not work as a tutor?

My family and friends were all smiling at me. There were colorful balloons all over the house, a big poster saying "HAPPY BIRTHDAY'', and of course a cake with 12 candles. It was a wonderful feeling. I knew that I had finally turned twelve and I might possibly get the thing I wanted most. I saw my mom and dad coming towards me with a small box which seemed to be a birthday present. When I opened the box, I couldn't believe my eyes. I had really gotten a mobile phone! Throwing myself into their arms, I let out a cry of joy, “Thank you! I love you guys!” “You're welcome. We knew this was going to make you happy but we didn't only get you this because you turned twelve, but also because you are doing well in school. We expect you to keep getting good grades." “Of course I will." I said confidently. As soon as I got to school the next morning, I was showing off my phone and asking everyone for their number. It was cool how I got so many contacts on the first day. It felt like I didn't even exist in that class anymore. I wouldn't pay much attention to the teachers because I was too busy on my phone. However, I didn't get caught using it. I am pretty sure that the teacher did notice that I stopped paying attention to her because a week later we took a test and I failed. What was worse, my mom had to sign the test. It was hard to show my mom the test. She was used to seeing A's and B's on my tests. Finally, I showed it to her, and she couldn't believe it. She was angry but most of all, she was disappointed. 注意： 1.续写短文的词数应为150左右； 2,续写部分分为两段，每段的开头已给出。 Paragraph 1: Realizing the reason for my failure, my parents started to dislike the fact that I had a phone. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Then I started to wonder if I was wrong. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Realizing the reason for my failure, my parents started to dislike the fact that I had a phone. They said they had noticed that I never paid attention to them. It was like I had my own little world. So they thought we didn't communicate as much with my phone. They regretted having given me a phone, which made me ignore the family and study. Then I started to wonder if I was wrong. A week later I tried going a whole day without a phone and it didn’t go that badly. I had so much fun because I was actually spending time with my family and paying attention to them. From that day, I had a different opinion towards phones. Phones really take you away from the rest of the world. I' m not saying that phones are bad and not to use them, but you do have to spare some time to spend with your family and not get stuck with your phone all day. 【解析】 【分析】本文讲述了作者生日时，因为他已经12岁，并且在学校表现非常出色，父母给他一部手机作为生日礼物，作者非常的开心。他在学校炫耀手机，记下同学们的电话号码并且在课上也只关注手机，背着老师玩手机，无心听课学习。考试了，成绩一塌糊涂，他拿着成绩单让妈妈签字，妈妈既生气又失望。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“意识到我失败的原因，我的父母开始不想要我有手机。”可知，第一段可描写作者的父母发现作者有手机之后的一些变化和感受。 ②由第二段首句内容“我开始怀疑是不是我错了。”可知，第二段可描写作者反思自己的行为后，开始放下手机，做出改变。 2.续写线索：父母抱怨——我的反思——放下手机——关注交流——改变态度 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①. 关注：pay attention to/focus on sth./be concerned about ②. 交流：communicate with sb./chat with sb./exchange ideas with ③. 改变：change one's mind/have a different opinion towards 情绪类 ①. 抱怨：complain/say sth. angrily/make a complaint ②. 抱歉：feel sorry/regret/feel apologetic 【点睛】[高分句型1].
