To help you enjoy life more and create a good work life balance, we provide various benefits for you. Cafeteria The staff cafeteria provides subsidized (补助的) meals for breakfast or lunch. The cafeteria is open on weekdays from 6.30 a.m. to 3 p.m. Reservations are never necessary. Because of the prices, the cafeteria is always a lively place to go before work and in the middle of the working day. Sport If you’d like to use the gym, you need to take an introductory class. Every other Monday, we have a fitness instructor who will come to our gym and provide an introduction to any staff members who want to use it. We also have a company membership at the town golf club. Our staff have both playing and social membership access to the club. Watching Football The company funds our local football club. As a result of our sponsorship, we have a hospitality box (包厢) at all home games and employees can take advantage of this for themselves and their families. There are 20 places available every week. If you want to book some places (limited to three per employee), please contact Andrew Hudson. If there are places available on the morning of the game, you can get more than four places. Social Trips The company runs trips at weekends for staff. This might be to a local castle, theatre or museum. We usually lay on a coach for transport and pay for entry to the event. The trips are only for employees, but if there are places still available four days before the event, people may reserve places for friends and family. If the coach is not at least half booked by staff members four days before the event, the trip will be cancelled. 1. What can we learn about the cafeteria? A. It requires advance booking. B.

New staff in this company. D. Researchers on team sports. B At 8 am, six women and one man in an air y barn (谷仓) in Sussex are focusing on their breathing and letting go of negative thoughts. I am one of them. But I’m struggling to remember which leg is which. All my life, I have suffered from left-right confusion. A soft voice suggesting I place my right foot over my left knee creates an anxiety that does not help empty my mind. I have come to Fair Oak Farm for a three-day well-being break: yoga, gentle exercise and massage (按摩) , vegetarian food and peaceful walks through the East Sussex countryside. After 18 months of working in front of a computer, I’m ready to stretch, bend and strengthen my core muscles (核心肌肉) . The leaders are warm and encouraging, never once making me feel discouraged. Weeks before COVID-19 struck, the UK travel association ABTA said one in three people were planning to include wellness activities in their holiday. COVID-19 has interrupted the speed of growth, but there are signs that the market is recovering as restrictions (限制) ease. Travelling to improve one’s health is not new. For centuries people have sought the benefits of hot springs or mountain air for periods of reflection. The 21st-century wellness breaks can be eye-wateringly expensive, restricting access to people in richer countries of the developed world. But the range is enormous, with some organisations offering well-being breaks for free. Nat Segnit, author of Retreat: The Risks and Rewards of Stepping Back from the World, said he was not surprised at the growing interest. “Half the world’s population lives in urban settlements. We are penned in, if not literally by overcrowded living arrangements then by the pressure of modern existence —overwork, family demands, social media. And more broadly by the cultural and environmental problems that press in on us daily. So we might want to get away from all that. ” 4. How does the author feel in the barn at first? A. Uneasy. B. Confident. C. Impatient. D. Relieved 5. What does the author do during her break at Fair Oak Farm? A. She does healthy exercise. B. She works on her computer. C. She learns to give massages D. She enjoys her favourite food. 6. What can be inferred about wellness breaks? A. They catch on during COVID-19. B. They have a long history C. They are less needed now. D. They can be quite affordable. 7. What does Nat Segnit think of people living in urban settlements? A. They are mostly addicted to social media. B. They need breaks from their everyday life. C. They have conflicting ideas about well-being breaks. D. They are worried about stepping back from the world. C A new study published this week in the journal Nature Communications has concluded that a 100 percent change to organic (有机的) food production in England and Wales would actually lead to a great increase in greenhouse gas emissions (排放). In turn, this would contribute to further climate change. Although organic farming directly pours out fewer emissions than conventional farming—around 20 percent lower for crops and 4 percent for farm animals—it produces notably less food. As to this study’s findings, total organic agriculture in England and Wales would produce 40 percent less food. With less food in the market, the countries would need to increase food imports, which would produce more global greenhouse gas emissions. Organic farming also increases the amount of absorbing carbon, a process where carbon dioxide (CO2) is “absorbed” out of the atmosphere and captured by plants and stored in the soil. However, even a total change to organic farming would only be equal to a tiny part of the higher emissions from overseas land use. “We predict a drop in total food production of 40 percent under a fully organic farming process, compared to conventional farming, if we keep to the same national diet,” Dr Adrian Williams, lead author and reader in Agri-Environmental Systems at Cranfield University, said in a statement. “This results from lower crop quantity, because output is limited by a lower supply of nitrogen, which is mainly from other crops or solid waste from cattle on the grassland.” Nevertheless, it is important to note that organic farming still holds some useful benefits for the environment, such as reducing exposure to chemicals and improving the varieties of creatures. In conclusion, the study suggests that organic farming will continue to play a key role in resolving the world’s environmental problems. However, it’s just one part of a much wider solution. 8. What will total organic agriculture bring to England? A. More main food. B. More species crop. C More food imports. D. More fresh oxygen. 9. How does organic farming increase the amount of absorbing carbon? A. By taking in CO2. B. By changing CO2. C. By giving off CO2. D. By producing CO2. 10. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. The ways to reduce organic farming. B. The results caused by organic farming. C. The solution to the environment problems. D. The advantages of organic farming. 11. Which of the following is the best title of the text? A. Organic farming, green food B. Organic farming, our hope in future C. Organic farming, a mistake we made D. Organic farming, a double-edged sword D With intelligent systems and new-age transit networks, life in the big cities will likely be happier and more efficient. After all, more than 60 percent of the world’s population is expected to live in cities by 2050, according to a UN report. The answer to making these cities more livable for so many people lies in creating “smart” cities. These cities will use 5G networks and the “internet of things” (IoT) to make everyday life safer and more convenient. Some cities are already using smart technology to improve the lives of residents. But what exactly does a smart city do? In the United States cities of Boston and Baltimore, smart trash cans can sense how full they are and inform cleaning workers when they need to be emptied. In Amsterdam, the Netherlands, traffic flow and energy usage are monitored and adjusted according to real-time data gathered from sensors (传感器) around the city. And in Copenhagen, Denmark, a smart bike system allows riders to check on air quality and traffic condition as they ride. Smart cities will be interactive, allowing their residents to feel like they’re truly shaping their environment, instead of merely existing in it. “One of the most important reasons to have a smart city is that we can actually communicate with our environment in a way that we never have in the past,” said Mrinalini Ingram, head of a telecom company. “Smart cities will also allow us to save resources.” said Mrinalini Ingram.“By using sensors and 5G networks to monitor the use of water, gas and electricity, city managers can figure out how to distribute and save these resources more efficiently. Emissions of carbon dioxide and other air pollutants can be more closely monitored in smart cities as well.” Of course, it will take time and money to turn our current cities into the smart cities of the future. But as we’ve already seen, more cities around the world are already adopting smart technology in small ways. China, for instance, is making investments in big cities like Shanghai and Guangzhou to make them “smarter”. It won’t be long until even more cities start to develop their own smart infrastructure (基础设施). 12 What calls for the development of smart cities? A. The rapid progress in 5G networks. B. The marked increase in world population. C. The growing number of residents living in cities. D. The major concern over the safety of living in cities. 13 How does the author explain the way smart cities work? A. By making a contrast. B. By giving examples. C. By listing figures. D. By telling a story. 14. What can we learn from Mrinalini Ingram about smart cities? A. Air pollution will be stopped in its track. B. People will be better aware of environmental protection. C. People will be able to make the most of our environment at will. D. Resources can be saved by keeping track of how they are used. 15 What is the author’s attitude toward smart cities? A. Indifferent. B. Critical. C. Positive. D. Doubtful. 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。 Want a relaxing but fun challenge at home? ____16____ Puzzles have been around for more than 250 years and the challenge of working out where each piece goes and carefully recreating the scene on the box lid can keep you busy for hours, days or even weeks.

The vase dropped to the floor and a large piece broke off. What made Ben more upset was that the vase was not a common decoration but an antique, which was handed down through generations from the 18th century. It was also his mother’s favourite possession. To cover his terrible action, the terrified boy glued (用胶水粘贴) the pieces together hastily and put the vase back to its place. As the mother herself dusted (擦拭) the vase every day, she naturally noticed the cracks (裂纹) that evening. To her surprise, the repair work was actually very good. At dinner time, she asked her boy if he broke the vase. Fearing punishment, Ben said that a neighbor’s cat jumped in from the window and he couldn’t drive it away no matter how hard he tried. The cat ran around the living room and finally knocked the vase off its shelf. His mother was quite clear that her son was lying, for all the windows were closed before she left for work each morning and opened after she returned. However, in the face of her son’s nervous eyes and the suspicious looks of the other family members, Ben’s mother remained calm. She realized she shouldn’t just simply blame and punish her son for lying. She came up with another idea. Before going to bed Ben found a note from his mother in his room, asking him to go to the study (书房) at once. The boy thought he would now be punished but, as he had already lied, he was determined to deny everything, no matter how angry his mum became. In the study, his mother’s face showed no sign of anger. Seeing her son push the door open and cautiously enter, she took a box of chocolates out of a drawer and gave him a chocolate. 注意：续写词数应为150左右。 The mother said, “This chocolate is a reward for your imagination: a window-opening cat!” _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Now with a lot of chocolates in hand, Ben’s bad attitude disappeared. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 潮州市高级中学2024—2025学年度第一学期高二级期中考试试卷 英语学科 本试卷适用于高二级1—20班 第一部分 阅读理解（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四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Welcome to your new job with us and we hope you have a happy and long career.

Organic farming, a double-edged sword 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. D 11. D 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇议论文。文章介绍了有机农业存在的弊端和优点。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句With less food in the market, the countries would need to increase food imports, which would produce more global greenhouse gas emissions. 由于市场上的粮食减少，这些国家将需要增加粮食进口，这将产生更多的全球温室气体排放。可知，有机农业自身产量不足，那就需要增加食品进口量。故选C。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句However, even a total change to organic farming would only be equal to a tiny part of the higher emissions from overseas land use. 然而，即使完全转向有机农业，也只相当于海外土地使用带来的更高排放的一小部分。可知，有机农业也增加了对碳的吸收，在这个过程中，二氧化碳从大气中被“吸收”进来，被植物捕获并存在土壤中。故选A。 【10题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段Nevertheless, it is important to note that organic farming still holds some useful benefits for the environment, such as reducing exposure to chemicals and improving the varieties of creatures. 然而，必须指出的是，有机农业仍然对环境有一些有益的好处，例如减少接触化学品和改善生物的种类。可知，该段讲述的是有机农业仍然对环境有一些好处。故选D。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。文章介绍了有机农业有一些弊端，但目前它还有很多优点。它对环境有好处也有一定的危害，所以它是一把双刃剑。故选D。 【点睛】标题猜测题。主旨大意题的一种，标题应位于文章之首，概括文章内容，点明文章主题。它可以是单词，短语，或句子。确定文章标题，第一，标题要与主题密切相关；其次，看标题是否能概括全文内容，不能只概括短文中的某些事实或细节；第三，标题范围不应太大或太小；最后，标题应新颖，概括性强并且精炼。小题4中D选项概括文中主旨大意，与主题密切相关，故选D项。 D With intelligent systems and new-age transit networks, life in the big cities will likely be happier and more efficient. After all, more than 60 percent of the world’s population is expected to live in cities by 2050, according to a UN report. The answer to making these cities more livable for so many people lies in creating “smart” cities. These cities will use 5G networks and the “internet of things” (IoT) to make everyday life safer and more convenient. Some cities are already using smart technology to improve the lives of residents. But what exactly does a smart city do? In the United States cities of Boston and Baltimore, smart trash cans can sense how full they are and inform cleaning workers when they need to be emptied. In Amsterdam, the Netherlands, traffic flow and energy usage are monitored and adjusted according to real-time data gathered from sensors (传感器) around the city. And in Copenhagen, Denmark, a smart bike system allows riders to check on air quality and traffic condition as they ride. Smart cities will be interactive, allowing their residents to feel like they’re truly shaping their environment, instead of merely existing in it. “One of the most important reasons to have a smart city is that we can actually communicate with our environment in a way that we never have in the past,” said Mrinalini Ingram, head of a telecom company. “Smart cities will also allow us to save resources.” said Mrinalini Ingram.“By using sensors and 5G networks to monitor the use of water, gas and electricity, city managers can figure out how to distribute and save these resources more efficiently. Emissions of carbon dioxide and other air pollutants can be more closely monitored in smart cities as well.” Of course, it will take time and money to turn our current cities into the smart cities of the future. But as we’ve already seen, more cities around the world are already adopting smart technology in small ways. China, for instance, is making investments in big cities like Shanghai and Guangzhou to make them “smarter”. It won’t be long until even more cities start to develop their own smart infrastructure (基础设施). 12. What calls for the development of smart cities? A. The rapid progress in 5G networks. B. The marked increase in world population. C. The growing number of residents living in cities. D. The major concern over the safety of living in cities. 13. How does the author explain the way smart cities work? A. By making a contrast. B. By giving examples. C. By listing figures. D. By telling a story. 14. What can we learn from Mrinalini Ingram about smart cities? A Air pollution will be stopped in its track. B. People will be better aware of environmental protection. C. People will be able to make the most of our environment at will. D. Resources can be saved by keeping track of how they are used. 15. What is the author’s attitude toward smart cities? A. Indifferent. B. Critical. C. Positive. D. Doubtful. 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了智能城市的优势和发展前景。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“After all, more than 60 percent of the world’s population is expected to live in cities by 2050, according to a UN report. The answer to making these cities more livable for so many people lies in creating “smart” cities. (毕竟，根据联合国的一份报告，到2050年，预计全球60%以上的人口将居住在城市。让这些城市更适合这么多人居住的答案在于创造“智能”城市。)”可知因为越来越多的居民居住在城市里，需要创造智能城市。故选C。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“But what exactly does a smart city do? In the United States cities of Boston and Baltimore, smart trash cans can sense how full they are and inform cleaning workers when they need to be emptied. In Amsterdam, the Netherlands, traffic flow and energy usage are monitored and adjusted according to real-time data gathered from sensors (传感器) around the city. And in Copenhagen, Denmark, a smart bike system allows riders to check on air quality and traffic condition as they ride. (但智能城市到底能做什么呢?在美国的波士顿和巴尔的摩，智能垃圾桶可以感知它们有多满，并在需要清空时通知清洁工人。在荷兰阿姆斯特丹，交通流量和能源使用情况根据城市周围传感器收集的实时数据进行监控和调整。在丹麦的哥本哈根，一个智能自行车系统可以让骑车的人在骑车时检查空气质量和交通状况。)”可知是通过举例子来解释智能城市的运作方式，故选B。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“ “Smart cities will also allow us to save resources.” said Mrinalini Ingram. “By using sensors and 5G networks to monitor the use of water, gas and electricity, city managers can figure out how to distribute and save these resources more efficiently. Emissions of carbon dioxide and other air pollutants can be more closely monitored in smart cities as well.” (“智能城市还能让我们节约资源。”姆里纳利尼·英格拉姆说。“通过使用传感器和5G网络来监测水、气和电的使用情况，城市管理者可以找出如何更有效地分配和节约这些资源。在智能城市中，二氧化碳和其他空气污染物的排放也可以得到更密切的监测。”) ”可推断通过跟踪资源的使用情况可以节省资源。故选D。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Of course, it will take time and money to turn our current cities into the smart cities of the future. But as we’ve already seen, more cities around the world are already adopting smart technology in small ways. China, for instance, is making investments in big cities like Shanghai and Guangzhou to make them “smarter”. It won’t be long until even more cities start to develop their own smart infrastructure (基础设施). (当然，把我们现在的城市变成未来的智能城市需要时间和金钱。但正如我们已经看到的，世界各地越来越多的城市已经在小规模地采用智能技术。例如，中国正在上海和广州等大城市进行投资，使它们变得“更智能”。用不了多久，就会有更多的城市开始发展自己的智能基础设施。)”可知作者对智能城市的态度是积极的，乐观的。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。 Want a relaxing but fun challenge at home? ____16____ Puzzles have been around for more than 250 years and the challenge of working out where each piece goes and carefully recreating the scene on the box lid can keep you busy for hours, days or even weeks.

(运用了不定式作目的状语) 第二节（满分25分） 47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 One day, Ben was playing basketball in the living room after school when he threw the ball at a vase sitting on the shelf by accident. The vase dropped to the floor and a large piece broke off. What made Ben more upset was that the vase was not a common decoration but an antique, which was handed down through generations from the 18th century. It was also his mother’s favourite possession. To cover his terrible action, the terrified boy glued (用胶水粘贴) the pieces together hastily and put the vase back to its place. As the mother herself dusted (擦拭) the vase every day, she naturally noticed the cracks (裂纹) that evening. To her surprise, the repair work was actually very good. At dinner time, she asked her boy if he broke the vase. Fearing punishment, Ben said that a neighbor’s cat jumped in from the window and he couldn’t drive it away no matter how hard he tried. The cat ran around the living room and finally knocked the vase off its shelf. His mother was quite clear that her son was lying, for all the windows were closed before she left for work each morning and opened after she returned. However, in the face of her son’s nervous eyes and the suspicious looks of the other family members, Ben’s mother remained calm. She realized she shouldn’t just simply blame and punish her son for lying. She came up with another idea. Before going to bed, Ben found a note from his mother in his room, asking him to go to the study (书房) at once. The boy thought he would now be punished but, as he had already lied, he was determined to deny everything, no matter how angry his mum became. In the study, his mother’s face showed no sign of anger. Seeing her son push the door open and cautiously enter, she took a box of chocolates out of a drawer and gave him a chocolate. 注意：续写词数应为150左右。 The mother said, “This chocolate is a reward for your imagination: a window-opening cat!” _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Now with a lot of chocolates in hand, Ben’s bad attitude disappeared. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】The mother said, “This chocolate is a reward for your imagination: a window-opening cat!” Hearing her sincere appreciation, Ben flushed. Surprisingly, the mother took out another chocolate. “This one is for the delicate repair work you did to the broken vase.” She also added that she was moved by how much the boy cherished the family possessions. At these hearty remarks, Ben felt a flow of shame through his veins. The mother then calmly encouraged Ben to reward himself more chocolate for any other merits he had displayed in this event. He did as was told to, confessing that he was calm when facing the accident. Now with a lot of chocolates in hand, Ben’s bad attitude disappeared. Nervousness welled up inside him. After what seemed a long time, he looked up at his mother, admitted that it was not the cat but he that had broken the vase accidentally and asked for punishment. “I’m sorry I lied to you, mum. Please take back the chocolate.” Feeling so ashamed, Ben couldn’t hold back his tears. He opened his palm wide, ready to return the chocolate. To his surprise, however, his mother placed the whole bag of chocolate in his hand, smiling. “Honesty deserves the best reward, my dear.” 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了Ben不小心打碎了一个传承下来的古董花瓶，并试图用胶水修复。当被母亲问及是否打碎了花瓶时，他谎称是一只邻居的猫打碎的。母亲发现他在说谎，但她没有直接惩罚他，而是通过奖励巧克力来引导他说出真相。 【详解】1.段落续写： ① 由第一段首句内容“妈妈说：‘这块巧克力是对你想象力的奖励：一只开窗的猫！’”可知，第一段可以描述母亲如何通过奖励巧克力的方式，逐步引导Ben认识到自己的错误，并鼓励他承认真相。 ② 由第二段首句内容“现在手里有了很多巧克力，本的坏脾气消失了。”可知，第二段可以描述Ben在母亲的引导下，最终承认了自己的错误，并向母亲道歉，同时母亲以宽容和理解的态度接受了他的道歉，并再次强调诚实的重要性。 2.续写线索： 母亲奖励巧克力——母亲赞赏Ben的“创意”——母亲逐步引导Ben认识错误——Ben感到羞愧——Ben承认错误并道歉——母亲接受道歉并强调诚实的重要性 3.词汇激活： 行为类： ① 珍视：cherish/treasure ② 展示：display/show/demonstrate ③ 承认：confess/admit 情绪类： ① 羞愧：shame/abashment ② 紧张：nervousness/anxiety ③ 惊讶：surprise/astonishment 【点睛】[高分句型1] Hearing her sincere appreciation, Ben flushed. (运用了现在分词作状语) [高分句型2] She also added that she was moved by how much the boy cherished the family possessions. (运用了that引导宾语从句和how much引导宾语从句) [高分句型3] After what seemed a long time, he looked up at his mother, admitted that it was not the cat but he that had broken the vase accidentally and asked for punishment.(运用了what引导宾语从句、that引导宾语从句和强调句型) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
