Chances are you will give me the name of Florence Nightingale,the wealthy woman who gave off her everything to serve the needy people of her time and become a nurse.She's still pictured today as she was in the Crimean War(克里米亚战争）ofl853,carrying a lamp from sickbed to sickbed where she tended to the wounded,and that is how she earned herself the title of"The Lady With The Lamp". Bor on May 12th,1820,she was a genius who spoke multiple languages and pioneered the concepts of statistical analysis that are still used today.Her parents were different,too.They were super-wealthy, 楚天教科研协作体*高二英语试卷（共8页）第3页 馨百扫全能王 and actually cared about the education of their two daughters.This came as a surprise because at that time,being born with two X chromosomes (was the high road to a life full of knitting and taking care of a houschold but her father was really dedicated to his two daughters.Education for women at that time was still at its earliest but Florence got the best education possible. On February 5,1837,the teenage Florence declared that she had had a vision and God had commanded her to end suffering in this world and this is when she joined Nursing.Both of her parents disagreed with that,considering that at that time nursing was looked down upon.Florence over the next 12-13 years tried convincing her parents,but they didn't give in. Aged 29,she even refused suitors (to focus on her nursing career which at that time was non-existent.When Florence turned 30,her dad was completely worn out from resisting and then sent her to Germany for nursing training.In 1853 her dream was completely realized and she undertook a job in London at a hospital. 24.Why was Nightingale called "The Lady With The Lamp"? A.She was the greatest nurse in the world. B.She attended the Crimean War in 1853. C.She took a lamp to take better pictures D.She tirelessly cared for the wounded carrying a lamp. 25.What can be inferred about Nightingale's father according to paragraph 2? A.He was strict with his two daughters. B.He believed women should stay at home. C.He placed a high value on education. D.He objected to his daughter's becoming a nurse. 26.How is the passage developed? A.By making comparisons. B.By listing reasons. C.By following time order. D.By listing examples. 27.Which of the following can best describe Nightingale? A.Selfless and determined. B.Caring and mean. C.Serious and stubborn. D.Optimistic and knowledgeable. C Climate change is causing Europe to heat up more quickly than any other continent,and that heat is deadly,according to a new report by European climate officials. The whole planet is warming up because of heat--trapping pollution(吸热污染)from oil,gas and coal.But Europe is getting warmer faster.Samantha Burgess is the deputy director of the Copernicus Climate Change Service,which is the EU's official weather and climate organization.She says Europe is warming about twice as fast as the global average."Globally,we're looking at about a 0.2 degrees Celsius change per decade,whereas Europe is,I think,about 0.4 degrees Celsius per decade." Those tenths of a degree add up quickly.Europe is already more than 4 degrees Fahrenheit warmer than it was in the late 1800s.One reason Europe is heating up so quickly is that it's very close to the Arctic,and the polar regions feel the effects of climate change more intensely.Another reason is that the ocean and atmospheric currents around Europe are warmer in general than those at similar latitudes in other parts of the world.That's why London's winters are so much more temperate than Chicago's,even though London is farther north.And it means that as the oceans and atmosphere heat up, Europe feels it in a big way. Last year was tied for the hottest year on record in Europe.A new report by the Copernicus Climate Change Service and the United Nations finds that the number of deaths from hot weather in Europe has grown by at least 30%in the last 20 years. Last summer was a prime(最典型的)example..During a heat wave in July,intense heat and humidity made it feel like it was 110 degrees Celsius or hotter in nearly half of southern Europe.That's 是天教种研协作体*高二英语试卷（共8页)第4页 馨百扫全能王 家事有日销日店 the kind of heat that can kill people if they don't have access to air conditioning.Preliminary estimates say tens of thousands of people likely died.European cities are scrambling to make sure residents have access to air conditioning and reliable electricity for that air conditioning. 28.Why does the author mention what Samantha Burgess said in Paragraph 2? A.To indicate that Europe used the most oil,gas and coal. B.To suggest that Europe had the most people killed by heat. C.To prove that Europe was getting warmer the fastest. D.To tell us that Europe is in the Arctic region. 29. What caused London's winter to be warmer than that of Chicago? A.The difference of latitudes. B.The distance from the equator. C.The impact of heat-trapping pollution. D.The effect of ocean and atmospheric currents. 30. What does the underlined word"scrambling"in the last paragraph mean? A.Climbing hard to the top of a mountain. B.Writing words too casually to be readable. C.Competing with others in order to get something. D.Managing to do something in a hurry. 31.Which column of a newspaper does this article belong to? A.Environment. B.History. C.Source. D.Health. D Researchers at the University of California,San Francisco were able this year to hook people up to brain monitors(监测仪)and generate natural-sounding synthetic(合成的)speech out of mere brain activity.The goal is to give people who have lost the ability to speak-because of a stroke,epilepsy (or something else-the power to talk to others just by thinking.That's pretty excellent. One area where A.I.can most immediately improve our lives may be in the area of mental health. Unlike many illnesses,there's no simple physical test you can give someone to tell if he or she is suffering from depression.Primary care physicians can be mediocre(at recognizing if a patient is depressed,or at predicting who is about to become depressed.Many people consider suicide,but it is very hard to tell who is really serious about it.Most people don't seek treatment until their illness is well advanced.Using A.I.,researchers can make better predictions about who is going to get depressed next week,and who is going to try to kill themselves. Many groups are using A.I.technology to diagnose and predict depression.For example,after listening to millions of conversations,machines can pick out depressed people based on their speaking patterns.When people suffering from depression speak,the range and pitch (of their voice tends to be lower.There are more pauses,starts and stops between words.People whose voice has a breathy quality are more likely to reattempt suicide.Machines can detect this stuff better than humans. There are also visual()patterns.Depressed people move their heads less often.Their smiles don't last as long.One research team led by Andrew Reece and Christopher Danforth analyzed 43,950 photos from 166 people and recognized who was depressed with 70 percent accuracy,which is better than general practice doctors.There are other ways to make these diagnoses.A company called Mind Strong is trying to measure mental health by how people use their smartphones:how they type and scroll(滚动翻页)，how frequently they delete characters.. What's more,in his book"Deep Medicine,"which is about how A.I.is changing medicine across all fields,Eric Topol describes a study in which a learning algorithm (was given medical records to predict who was likely to attempt suicide.It accurately predicted attempts nearly 80 percent of the time.By incorporating()data of real-world interactions such as laughter and anger,an algorithm in a similar study was able to reach 93 percent accuracy. Medicine is hard because we're much more different from one another than we thought.You can 梵天教科研协作体*高二英语试卷（共8页）第5页 馨百扫全能王 be upset by the privacy-invading power of A.I.to know you,but only A.I.can gather the data necessary to do this.The result is that we are enteringaworld in which people we don'tknow will be able to understand the most private details of our emotional life by observing the ways we communicate. 32.What's the purpose of connecting people to brain monitors? A.Making man-made sound out of the patients'brain activity. B.Helping people with speaking difficulties open their mouths to speak. C.Offering people with speaking disabilities the power to speak by thinking. D.Saving the lives of those who suffer from a stroke,epilepsy or something else. 33.In which field can A.I.improve our lives in the most immediate way? A.Medicine. B.Mental health. C.Medical care. D.Physical health 34. How many ways A.I.technology is used to diagnose and predict depression are mentioned? A.Two. B.Three. C.Four. D.Five. 35.What's the best title of the passage? A.AI helps people increase their ability of speech B.AI makes better predictions about depression. C.AI gives away people's privacy. D.AI increases people's well-being by using various methods. 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。 Genealogy(家谱学)，the study of one's family history and ancestry(祖先)，offers an enriching journey that goes far beyond the collection of names and dates.36 Connecting to the past 37By uncovering the lives of your ancestors,you can bridge the gap between the past and the present.This connection can help you appreciate the struggles,achievements,and cultural aspects that have been passed down through generations. Personal growth and motivation Studying your family roots can be an educational journey,which promotes personal growth. 38一As you uncover the challenges your ancestors faced and the resilience(适应力)they showed, you may find inspiration for your own life.Their stories can offer valuable motivation to overcome challenges. 39 Discovering your family roots can provide answers to the age-old question "Where do I come from?"Understanding your roots helps you define a significant part of your identity.By researching your ancestor's origins,you can gain a deeper understanding of the customs and traditions that have shaped your family.This exploration can lead to a richer appreciation of the cultural diversity within your own heritage. Family bonding Genealogy often becomes a family affair,promoting connections with relatives you may not have known otherwise.40It encourages open discussions,shared stories,and a stronger sense of unity within your family.Therefore,it's a powerful tool to strengthen family bonds. A.Sense of belonging and identity B.Shared happy family memories C.Exploring your family roots will have profound benefits D.It can also help improve psychological well-being E.Genealogy allows you to connect with the people and stories that led to your existence F.Working together to piece together your family's history can be a great bonding experience G.Preserving your family's history ensures that future generations will have access to their heritage 楚天教科研协作体*高二英语试卷（共8页）第6页 馨百扫全能王 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，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填人空白处的最佳选项。 A police officer is being praised as a hero.He has helped a baby who was 41 to breathe after being born in the car on the way to the 42 Last month,Miguel Covarrubias43 his pregnant wife to an emergency room in New Mexico.44,the baby didn't wait to arrive at the hospital.Police Officer Ismael Perez was on patrol()when he received a 45 911 call about a woman who had given birth while on the way to the hospital.He saw Covarrubias run a red light and 46 him as he drove into the entrance to the 47 room.Upon arrival at the entrance,Perez immediately jumped out of his car and 48 to help the baby,who was then not breathing."Go and get the nurses as 49 as possible.Tell them to hurry up and state police is on the scene,"Perez 50 Covarrubias.
