When it comes to beaches, there are some excellent options to be found across the continent. Sancho Beach This beach is an amazing stretch of sand with peaceful waters. The clear waters are perfect for swimming but it is difficult to access. It can only be reached by boat or by climbing down the rocky hillsides on each end, so it isn’t particularly good for younger children or people who are physically challenged. Vichayito Beach Just a short distance from the waterfront town of Mancora, this lovely beach is often quiet and peaceful, offering some nice shallow water to swim in for little ones. A little further out, the waves pick up, making for fine surfing and windsurfing surroundings, while the charming village offers nice accommodation. Copacabana Beach The cold water here means it isn’t an ideal swimming location, but there are good spots for surfing and windsurfing. Various water activities make it a great beach. Visit early, especially in the busy tourist seasons, not only to avoid crowds, but also to gain admittance — visitors will be turned away once the park reaches peak capacity. Jericoacoara Beach Located near the city center, this beach is very popular among surfers thanks to its great waves. It isn’t too rough to swim for experienced swimmers, although a slightly rocky seafloor means you should be careful. With large crowds of people, the best time to visit is sunset-arrive early to get a good viewing spot. 21. What may make Sancho Beach difficult to reach? A. The great waves. B. Its unique location. C. Lack of boat services. D. Large crowds of tourists. 22. Which beach is the most ideal place for young children to swim? A. Sancho Beach. B. Vichayito Beach. C. Copacabana Beach. D. Jericoacoara Beach. 23. What do Copacabana Beach and Jericoacoara Beach have in common? A. They both appeal to those loving water sports. B. Tourists may be rejected due to their limited capacity. C. Tourists should arrive early to get a good viewing spot. D. They provide perfect swimming options for professionals. B On August 20th, 2024, the Chinese gaming industry reached a milestone with the global release of Black Myth: Wukong, a new AAA action role-playing game developed by Game Science. Within hours of launch, it topped Steam’s most-played single-player list, gaining significant attention on social media. Black Myth: Wukong draws on Chinese mythologies (神话) and the classic novel Journey to the West. It allows players to assume the role of Sun Wukong and start grand adventures. Inspired by Stephen Chow’s A Chinese Odyssey, the game creates a vivid dreamscape with Chinese scenery, like remote mountains, wild roads and ancient temples. The various demons, gods, and other figures with Chinese-style designs in the game are based on The Classic of Mountains and Seas, breathing new life into the ancient tales of Chinese mythology. Feng Ji, Game Science founder and CEO, emphasized that the game was created entirely by a Chinese team to bring Chinese stories to the global gaming stage. He said, “The script and artistic concepts always take the lead, harmoniously integrating Chinese stories and classical cultural elements into the game.” He believed that a game’s true value is not determined by its budget or visuals, but by the genuine enjoyment it offers players. According to the Xinhua News Agency, to create a truly immersive (沉浸式的), world-class game, the game’s production team spent years traveling across China, scanning historical and cultural sites, and integrating them into every game scenes. The game features 36 locations thoroughly modeled after real-world sites, with 27 of them located in Shanxi Province, China, offering players a unique and immersive visual experience. The game has boosted interest in Shanxi’s cultural heritage. On its launch day, the search volume for Shanxi tourism increased by over 10%. Bookings for trips to Shanxi have doubled since July, and the number of tourists to Shanxi has grown by 50%. Shanxi has rich tourism resources but lacks recognition both domestically and internationally. The game has presented Shanxi’s cultural relics in a pleasing and effective way, arousing people’s interest in the province’s culture and travel. 24. What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about the game? A. Its design inspiration. B. Its wide popularity. C. Its target players. D. Its cultural significance. 25. What is the key to making a truly valuable game according to Feng Ji? A. Creating high profits for the game company. B Integrating Chinese stories into artistic concepts. C. Designing impressive characters and visual effects. D. Providing a satisfying experience for players. 26. Which of the following words can best describe the game’s production team? A. Ambitious and efficient. B. Confident and productive. C. Devoted and high-standard. D. Experienced and imaginative. 27. How does the game benefit Shanxi Province? A. By promoting its cultural tourism. B. By improving its international status. C. By calling for the protection of its heritage. D. By attracting investment to its game industry. C People are already paying more and more for food due to global warming — and rising temperatures will drive food prices a lot higher in the next decade. According to a study by the European Central Bank, by 2035, higher temperatures alone will be pushing up worldwide food prices by between 0.9% and 3.2% every single year. To find out how this is affecting food prices, Maximilian Kotz at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research and his colleagues examined data on the monthly prices and weather conditions in 121 countries between 1996 and 2021. By looking for associations between food prices and factors such as the average monthly temperature, temperature changes, and measures of drought and extreme rainfall, they found a strong link between the average temperature and the food prices a month or so later. In regions north of 40 degrees, like the latitude (纬度) of New York City and Beijing, warmer-than-average temperatures during winter led to falling food prices. But above-average temperatures increased food prices in summer and at all times in the rest of the world. “The study didn’t look at why prices rose, but the likely explanation is that extreme heat is reducing yields,’’ Kotz says. “Crops may be drying out on the vine (藤) when they should be being harvested.’’ Factors such as extreme rainfall had less impact on food prices than average temperatures. This may be because flooding tends to be localized, while above-average temperatures can be very widespread. Other studies have reached similar conclusions. Kotz’s team then went further by investigating how food prices could change based on average temperature rises in climate model prediction. In the worst situation, global food inflation (食品通胀) due to climate change goes over 4% per year by 2060. “We need to be aware of the fact that climate change brings huge new challenges for food security,’’ says Kotz. “Warming-fueled extreme weather is increasingly affecting food production around the world. If farmers don’t adapt their practices to better cope with rising temperatures, the losses will become more serious.’’ 28. What does the study focus on? A. The impact of climate change on food prices. B. The factors in the rising living costs. C. The effects of natural disasters on food production. D. The comparison of food prices in different regions. 29. How did researchers reach their conclusions? A. By conducting a survey among farmers. B. By referring to previous studies. C. By tracking some cities for years. D. By analyzing a mass of data. 30. What is the main reason for the rising food prices according to Kotz? A. Frequent rainfall. B. Extreme high temperature. C. The increasing demand for crops. D. The influence of trade policies. 31. What does the author intend to do in the last paragraph? A. To call on people to pay attention to food security. B. To urge farmers to take actions to deal with the climate issue. C. To predict the loss caused by the heat wave. D. To explain the situation of global food inflation. D Many concepts that are central to the human experience are abstract, such as relationships, ideas, and time — things we can't directly see or touch. We commonly use concrete language to talk and think about these things, often through metaphors(隐喻). Using metaphors is far more than a poetic device of factual statements. A study conducted at Purchase College found that metaphors can frame people's perspectives, thereby shaping their reasoning and subsequent actions. For example, describing the effort to stop climate change as a “war” rather than a “race” caused people to feel more urgency about reducing emissions. Another example is the lightbulb (灯泡) metaphor commonly used to describe new ideas, suggesting that new thoughts appear suddenly like a light switch being turned on. However, this metaphor implies that new ideas come effortlessly and are accessible only to a few geniuses, such as Isaac Newton, who supposedly developed his theory of gravity from a sudden insight about a falling apple. It may lead people to question their capability to generate news ideas, and as a behavioral consequence, people may underestimate the role of hard work and continuous learning in bringing about change. An alternative way to describe ideas is by comparing new thoughts to seeds that fall on fertile ground and — if cared for — will grow and develop over time. Different from the lightbulb metaphor, the seed metaphor implies an understanding that generating new ideas is a laborious process, which requires time and effort. It also suggests that anybody can be the cultivator of ideas as long as they put their mind to it. The subtle effects of metaphors show how powerful language can be, even though we often don't realize it. Who'd have thought a simple use of a lightbulb metaphor could profoundly affect how we understand the concept of innovation? Given the nature of our metaphorical minds, it is worth asking: are our metaphors suitable? We owe it to ourselves and others to use metaphors appropriately. These choices — conscious or not — can be constructive or destructive. 32. What does the study find about metaphors? A. They make language more poetic. B. They help clarify abstract concepts. C. They may cause conflicts between people. D. They can shape people's minds and behavior. 33. What does the underlined word “underestimate” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Realize. B. Overlook. C. Emphasize. D. Acknowledge. 34. How does the seed metaphor differ from the lightbulb metaphor? A. It stresses the importance of natural talent. B. It simplifies the process of cultivating new ideas. C. It leads to people's doubt about their creativity. D. It indicates consistent efforts of individuals. 35. What is the purpose of the last paragraph? A. To call on people to use metaphors properly. B. To present the potential limitations of metaphors. C. To reveal the difficulty of understanding metaphors. D. To urge people to reflect on the concept of innovation. 第二节 七选五（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。 The majority of youngsters nowadays would rather watch a movie than read a book.

It’s my corner. Most folks find there’s nothing there, just an empty lot. But to me, it’s like a wide-open treasure box. Stepping into it, I feel like leaping into a sea of green. The tall grass, probably just weeds, with butterflies gathering around, smells clean and fresh, and I wonder why I’m the only one who’s thankful for this place. One evening, Mama said, “Tia, the city wants to turn that comer of yours into a parking lot.” I stopped in my tracks. “No! They can’t do that!” “Tia, you have to make them see what you see. Make some noise about it. No one ever got any place by sitting back and staying quiet.” That night, I lay awake thinking for a long time. “I’ve got to do something.” Early the next morning I dragged a chair down to the corner with a big cardboard on which I’d painted “No Parking Lot! Save Our Nature” in large letters. I sat down and waited. Most people passed by, paying no attention to me. My friend Tanya asked me what I was doing, and I told her. Then came Mrs. DiRisio, a beauty shop owner, who angrily waved her hand at my sign, saying. “My customers need a place to park. You go home, little girl.” But I didn’t move. Then I noticed a woman down the street taking pictures of my corner. She walked over to me, smiling, “I’m Sara Bennett. Can I talk to you?” I nodded. I knew I needed to make some noise. I started talking, and Ms. Bennett scribbled on a notepad. “A walking path would be nice, maybe a vegetable garden. And a bench, so people could sit down and listen to the birds singing.” I was surprised at myself, at how many ideas I’d got for this corner. The next morning, my brother burst into my room with a morning paper. “Fighting for Nature on the Corner of 71st” was the title of the article, and along with it was a picture of me! After breakfast my brother, Mama and I dragged our chairs and signs back to the corner. 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。 Paragraph 1: To my amazement, I saw some familiar figures coming towards us. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: A year later, the sign on the corner made it official. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 2024-2025学年度上学期武汉市重点中学5G联合体期中考试 高二英语试卷 注意事项： 1. 答卷前，先将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在试卷和答题卡上，并将准考证条形码粘贴在答题卡上的指定位置。 2. 选择题的作答：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。写在试卷、草稿纸和答题卡的非答题区域均无效。 3. 非选这题的作答：用黑色签字笔直接答在答题卡上对应的答题区域内。写在试卷、草稿纸和答题卡上的非答题区域军无效。 4. 考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并上交。 第一部分 听力 (共两节，满分 30 分) 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 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题答案】 【答案】B 【2题答案】 【答案】A 【3题答案】 【答案】C 【4题答案】 【答案】B 【5题答案】 【答案】A 第二节（共 15 小题；每小题 1. 5 分，满分 22. 5 分） 听下面 5 段对话或独白，每段对话或独白后有几个小题，从题中所给的 A、B、C 三 个选项中选出最佳选项。听每段对话或独白前，你将有时间阅读各个小题，每小题 5 秒钟；听完后，各小题将给出 5 秒钟的作答时间。每段对话或独白读两遍。 【6~7题答案】 【答案】6.

I did so days later. “If this is the last little bit of nature in our neighborhood,” I spoke, ”doesn’t it make sense to try and save it? ” Everyone applauded at the end of my speech. A year later, the sign on the corner has made it official. Now we’ve got a walking path that curves and winds its way through the 71st Street Nature Preserve. We’ve got a stone bench and plans for a vegetable garden. School groups come here to collect leaves and study the insects and birds. Folks come here to walk, run or just sit, talking, laughing and listening to birds singing. My corner isn’t just mine anymore, but I’m more than happy to share it. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
