B Chelsea Sodaro is a 34-year-old new mom who recently won the VinFast IRONMAN World Championship in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii, in the professional women's field. Just 18 months after giving birth to her daughter, Skylar, the professional triathlete won the intense competition. The IRONMAN World Championship required contestants to complete a difficult race -a 2.4-mile swim, a 112-mile bike ride and a 26.2-mile run. A resident in Reno, Nevada told Fox News Digital, "The IRONMAN World Championship is the most important part of our sport. All the best athletes show up ready to throw down". Sodaro,shockingly, had only ever completed one IRONMAN prior to the World Championship - in June 2022. With just one other full IRONMAN finished, Chelsea Sodaro had to train hard for the championship. The preparation for a race like this can range depending on the competitor, but for Sodaro, preparation was the key to her massive success. The triathlete trains roughly 25-30 hours a week across all areas of the race: swimming, biking and running. Training athletes like her also tend to lift weights and gain muscle to help them succeed in the race. However, this particular competition proved to be a challenge beyond the physical training aspect. Sodaro said the Big Island of Hawaii had unique climate conditions that required additional training on her part. But during the days leading up to the race day, Sodaro said she was very nervous. But she said that right before the race began, she felt a sense of peace. "I poured so much into my work, and my family made a lot of sacrifices to get me to the start line in one piece. I knew that I was ready to have a great day," she said. So how did Sodaro make it to the finish line first? She said she stayed focused and didn't panic when things went wrong. Sodaro crossed the finish line at 8:33:46. That made her the first rook1IRONMAN World Champion in 15 years and the first American in over 25 years. 4. What does the underlined phrase "throw down" in paragraph 2 mean? A.Throw away. B. Take up challenges. C.Create history. D. Get pleasure. 5. Why did Chelsea Sodaro win a big success in the race? A. She is good at various sports. B. Her preparation had gone well. C. She is an experienced competitor. D. The local residents gave her support. 6. How did Chelsea Sodaro respond to stress before the race? A. By encouraging herself. B. By giving herself a short break. C. By talking with her family. D. By adding more physical training. 7. What is the best title for the text? A. The Best IRONMAN Races in Kailua-Kona B. Female Athlete Returns After Having a Baby C. Chelsea Sodaro Crossed the Finish Line D.New Mom Wins IRONMAN Championship C Scientists of the University of Chicago have discovered a way to create a material that can be made like a plastic, but conducts electricity more like a metal. The research, published in Nature,shows how to make a kind of material in which the molecular (分子 ) pieces are disordered,but can still conduct electricity extremely well. This goes against all of the rules we know about conductivity---to a scientist, it's kind of seeing a car driving on water and still going 70 mph. The finding could be extraordinarily useful;if you want to invent something revolutionary, the process often first starts with discovering a completely new material. To the scientists' astonishment, the material easily and strongly conducted electricity. What's more, it was very stable. "We heated it, cooled it, exposed it to air and in a wet environment, and even dropped acid and alkali （酸和碱） on it, and nothing happened," said Xie, the first author on the paper. That is enormously helpful for a device that has to function in the real world. But to the scientists, the most striking thing was that the molecular structure of the material was disordered. "From a fundamental picture, that should not be able to be a metal," said Anderson, the senior author on the study. "There isn't a solid theory to explain this." One of the material's attractive characteristics is that it has new options for processing. For example, metals usually have to be melted in order to be made into the right shape for a chip or device, which limits what you can make with them, since other components of the device have to be able to withstand （承受） the heat needed to process these materials. The new material has no such limitation because it can be made at room temperatures. It can still be used where the need for a device or pieces of the device to withstand heat, acid or alkali, or a wet environment has previously limited engineers' options to develop new technology. 8. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 1? A. Introduce the object to be explained. B. Provide an example to analyze. C. Offer some background information. D. Make necessary comparisons for the readers. 9. Why is a car driving on water mentioned in paragraph 2? A. To stress the character of the car. B.To show the difficulty of the process. C.To explain the importance of speed. D. To highlight the creativity of the finding. 10. What made scientists amazed most about the material? A.Stable function. B. Easy conduction. C.Structural disorder. D. Flexible processing. 11. What is the author's attitude towards the new material? A.Doubtful. B. Favorable. C.Neutral. D. Negative. D People experience emotional pain----often in the form of guilt(内疚)---when spending money.This is called the moral tax（道德税） or pain of payment. We can reduce this guilt by separating the enjoyment of a purchase（购买） from its payment. However, the best way to reduce moral tax is by receiving a gift----an item you don't have to pay for at all! As a result, the best gifts are items that normally bring particularly high levels of moral tax.This may include goods that appear overpriced and therefore bring particularly bad feelings of guilt upon purchase. Curiously,it's not about the actual amount of money spent. What matters most are the emotions brought by the gift ( or the guilt taken away). Consider the following example as an explanation. For weeks, Anne has had her eye on a pair of designer shoes. They look incredibly stylish and go perfectly with her new winter coat. She's got enough money to pay for the shoes but doesn't think the purchase is necessary. After all, she already owns three other pairs of winter footwear.Still, Anne makes sure to mention the shoes to her husband Alex, and on Christmas morning she is overjoyed to open a large box containing the shoes. She is happy with the gift even though Alex bought it from their family bank account. Looking at it from an economic point of view, Anne's happiness doesn't make any sense.Since she shares a bank account with her husband, it doesn't matter who buys the shoes. The loss of money is the same either way. How can Anne be happy with Alex making a purchase she previously thought unnecessary? It all comes down to moral tax. By making the payment on Anne's behalf,Alex cuts her wife' s pain of payment. Anne gets to enjoy her precious shoes guilt-free. The experts suggest that the best gifts are things that people really want but refuse themselves to avoid feeling guilty. What are your partner's secret wants and guilty pleasures? Unfortunately,that's the one question you need to answer yourself. 12. What does the moral tax refer to in the text? A. The guilt of receiving an expensive gift. B. The problems caused by overspending. C. The feeling of satisfaction after making a purchase. D. The emotional pain coming from spending money. 13. Why does Anne refuse to buy the shoes herself? A. She has got a similar pair. B.She is influenced by the moral tax. C. She decides to put off satisfaction. D.She only wants to use her husband's money. 14. What may an economist think of Anne's excitement? A. Unreasonable. B.Unreal. C.Interesting. D.Expected. 15. What do the experts suggest about the best gifts? A. They should be practical and useful. B. They should be expensive to show appreciation. C. They should be items that people really want but avoid buying due to guilt. D. They should be items that don't cost people too much but are meaningful. 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。 Everyone needs friendship to survive.

Jacob said. "Why not go there and give it a shot?" He continued to ask the kids, who could barely contain their excitement and jumped up with wide joy. "Yes, officers!" they exclaimed, a big smile broadening from ear to ear. It was not long before all the lemonade was gathered. The officers soon set up the lemonade stand and uploaded a post introducing their experience, which went viral and caused quite a stir in the neighbourhood. Grandma and the two kids were surprised to see their stand packed solid with people attracted by lemonade. Paragraph 2: There was a large crowd eager to buy lemonade. By the end of that day, the children were shocked to see that apart from the money raised, they also received loads of cards with warm and encouraging words.

B Chelsea Sodaro is a 34-year-old new mom who recently won the VinFast IRONMAN World Championship in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii, in the professional women's field. Just 18 months after giving birth to her daughter, Skylar, the professional triathlete won the intense competition. The IRONMAN World Championship required contestants to complete a difficult race -a 2.4-mile swim, a 112-mile bike ride and a 26.2-mile run. A resident in Reno, Nevada told Fox News Digital, "The IRONMAN World Championship is the most important part of our sport. All the best athletes show up ready to throw down". Sodaro,shockingly, had only ever completed one IRONMAN prior to the World Championship - in June 2022. With just one other full IRONMAN finished, Chelsea Sodaro had to train hard for the championship. The preparation for a race like this can range depending on the competitor, but for Sodaro, preparation was the key to her massive success. The triathlete trains roughly 25-30 hours a week across all areas of the race: swimming, biking and running. Training athletes like her also tend to lift weights and gain muscle to help them succeed in the race. However, this particular competition proved to be a challenge beyond the physical training aspect. Sodaro said the Big Island of Hawaii had unique climate conditions that required additional training on her part. But during the days leading up to the race day, Sodaro said she was very nervous. But she said that right before the race began, she felt a sense of peace. "I poured so much into my work, and my family made a lot of sacrifices to get me to the start line in one piece. I knew that I was ready to have a great day," she said. So how did Sodaro make it to the finish line first? She said she stayed focused and didn't panic when things went wrong. Sodaro crossed the finish line at 8:33:46. That made her the first rook1IRONMAN World Champion in 15 years and the first American in over 25 years. 4. What does the underlined phrase "throw down" in paragraph 2 mean? A.Throw away. B. Take up challenges. C.Create history. D. Get pleasure. 5. Why did Chelsea Sodaro win a big success in the race? A. She is good at various sports. B. Her preparation had gone well. C. She is an experienced competitor. D. The local residents gave her support. 6. How did Chelsea Sodaro respond to stress before the race? A. By encouraging herself. B. By giving herself a short break. C. By talking with her family. D. By adding more physical training. 7. What is the best title for the text? 阿克苏市实验中学 2024-2025学年第一学期高二年级第一次月考英语试卷 第 2 页 共 4 页 A. The Best IRONMAN Races in Kailua-Kona B. Female Athlete Returns After Having a Baby C. Chelsea Sodaro Crossed the Finish Line D.New MomWins IRONMAN Championship C Scientists of the University of Chicago have discovered a way to create a material that can be made like a plastic, but conducts electricity more like a metal. The research, published in Nature,shows how to make a kind of material in which the molecular ( 分 子 ) pieces are disordered,but can still conduct electricity extremely well. This goes against all of the rules we know about conductivity---to a scientist, it's kind of seeing a car driving on water and still going 70 mph. The finding could be extraordinarily useful;if you want to invent something revolutionary, the process often first starts with discovering a completely new material. To the scientists' astonishment, the material easily and strongly conducted electricity. What's more, it was very stable. "We heated it, cooled it, exposed it to air and in a wet environment, and even dropped acid and alkali （酸和碱） on it, and nothing happened," said Xie, the first author on the paper. That is enormously helpful for a device that has to function in the real world. But to the scientists, the most striking thing was that the molecular structure of the material was disordered. "From a fundamental picture, that should not be able to be a metal," said Anderson, the senior author on the study. "There isn't a solid theory to explain this." One of the material's attractive characteristics is that it has new options for processing. For example, metals usually have to be melted in order to be made into the right shape for a chip or device, which limits what you can make with them, since other components of the device have to be able to withstand （承受） the heat needed to process these materials. The new material has no such limitation because it can be made at room temperatures. It can still be used where the need for a device or pieces of the device to withstand heat, acid or alkali, or a wet environment has previously limited engineers' options to develop new technology. 8. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 1? A. Introduce the object to be explained. B. Provide an example to analyze. C. Offer some background information. D. Make necessary comparisons for the readers. 9. Why is a car driving on water mentioned in paragraph 2? A. To stress the character of the car. B.To show the difficulty of the process. C.To explain the importance of speed. D. To highlight the creativity of the finding. 10. What made scientists amazed most about the material? A.Stable function. B. Easy conduction. C.Structural disorder. D. Flexible processing. 11. What is the author's attitude towards the new material? A.Doubtful. B. Favorable. C.Neutral. D. Negative. D People experience emotional pain----often in the form of guilt( 内 疚 )---when spending money.This is called the moral tax（道德税） or pain of payment. We can reduce this guilt by separating the enjoyment of a purchase（购买） from its payment. However, the best way to reduce moral tax is by receiving a gift----an item you don't have to pay for at all! As a result, the best gifts are items that normally bring particularly high levels of moral tax.This may include goods that appear overpriced and therefore bring particularly bad feelings of guilt upon purchase. Curiously,it's not about the actual amount of money spent. What matters most are the emotions brought by the gift ( or the guilt taken away). Consider the following example as an explanation. For weeks, Anne has had her eye on a pair of designer shoes. They look incredibly stylish and go perfectly with her new winter coat. She's got enough money to pay for the shoes but doesn't think the purchase is necessary. After all, she already owns three other pairs of winter footwear.Still, Anne makes sure to mention the shoes to her husband Alex, and on Christmas morning she is overjoyed to open a large box containing the shoes. She is happy with the gift even though Alex bought it from their family bank account. Looking at it from an economic point of view, Anne's happiness doesn't make any sense.Since she shares a bank account with her husband, it doesn't matter who buys the shoes. The loss of money is the same either way. How can Anne be happy with Alex making a purchase she previously thought unnecessary? It all comes down to moral tax. By making the payment on Anne's behalf,Alex cuts her wife' s pain of payment. Anne gets to enjoy her precious shoes guilt-free. The experts suggest that the best gifts are things that people really want but refuse themselves to avoid feeling guilty. What are your partner's secret wants and guilty pleasures? Unfortunately,that's the one question you need to answer yourself. 12. What does the moral tax refer to in the text? A. The guilt of receiving an expensive gift. B. The problems caused by overspending. C. The feeling of satisfaction after making a purchase. D. The emotional pain coming from spending money. 13. Why does Anne refuse to buy the shoes herself? A. She has got a similar pair. B.She is influenced by the moral tax. C. She decides to put off satisfaction. D.She only wants to use her husband's money. 14. What may an economist think of Anne's excitement? A. Unreasonable. B.Unreal. C.Interesting. D.Expected. 15. What do the experts suggest about the best gifts? A. They should be practical and useful. 阿克苏市实验中学 2024-2025学年第一学期高二年级第一次月考英语试卷 第 3 页 共 4 页 B. They should be expensive to show appreciation. C. They should be items that people really want but avoid buying due to guilt. D. They should be items that don't cost people too much but are meaningful. 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。 Everyone needs friendship to survive.

They were curious about when they could finally see their mom. "The hospital won't allow her to leave until all of her medical bills are settled. I have given your mom all I could, but there's still a large amount that we need to pay off," Linda explained. John and Nancy missed their mom a lot and wanted her to come back home as soon as possible. "What if we put up a lemonade stand （摊位）, John?" Nancy asked her older brother. "We can pick the lemons from the garden and make fresh juice out of them," she suggested. Her brother smiled, "That's a great idea, Nancy!" From then on, John and Nancy stayed outside the entire afternoon after school selling lemonade. Aweek went by, they only managed to earn ten dollars. On Saturday morning, they sat on the side of the yard, looking worried. After a couple of seconds, their silent pondering （沉思） was interrupted by loud police sirens. "Hey, fellas!" one of the policemen greeted. "My colleague Jacob said that his neighbor had a lemonade stand in front of their yard." The two children nodded. "I'm sorry, officer. But I didn't think there would be anything wrong with that. Besides, we didn't earn a lot," John tried to explain. "Don't worry. You're not in trouble. I bought a cup of it from you two the other day,remember? I asked why you were selling lemonade, and you told me it was to raise funds to get your mom out of the hospital," Jacob interrupted upon seeing John and Nancy looked nervous. "I told my friends over here, and we decided we wanted to help. Come to the back of the police car, and we have something to show you," Jacob told the kids.
