There’s plenty of exciting events, but one lecture I believe you absolutely shouldn’t miss is “The Future of AI: Innovations and Applications” by Dr. Emily Chen. Dr. Chen is a renowned expert in artificial intelligence, and her talk promises to be insightful. She’ll be discussing the latest advancements in AI technology and how they’re shaping various industries. Given your interest in tech trends and innovation, I think this lecture will provide valuable insights and spark stimulating discussions. Hope to see you there! Yours sincerely, Li Hua 第二节 Confused about my choices, I found myself in a dilemma. I didn’t want to exclude anyone just because they weren’t part of the “in” crowd. Yet, I worried that having Shannon at my party would make things awkward. I decided to take a stand. I believed that everyone deserved a chance to enjoy the party, and maybe this could be an opportunity for others to see past the labels and get to know Shannon for who she truly was. I took a deep breath and prepared to face whatever came next. Unexpectedly, they got along well with quiet Shannon at my party. As the day of the party arrived, the laughter and music filled our home. To my surprise, Shannon’s presence didn’t cause any awkwardness. Instead, her gentle spirit and unique sense of humor charmed the guests. Even Jenny, who had been so against her attendance, found herself laughing at Shannon’s jokes. The party was a success. It was a birthday I would never forget, not just for the fun we had, but for the lesson in kindness and acceptance we all learned. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$英语试卷 第 1 页 共 8 页 2024-2025学年度上学期湖北省部分普通高中高二期中考试 英语试卷 （时间：120分钟 满分：150分 考试时间：2024年 11月 22日） 注意事项： 1．答题前，先将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在试卷和答题卡上，并将准考证号条形码粘贴 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、草稿纸和答题卡上的非答题区域均无效。 3．非选择题的作答：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均无效。 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。 例：How much is the shirt?

But the field is rich with female scientists who made important discoveries. Ada Lovelace, Mathematician (Dec. 10, 1815-Nov. 27, 1852) Ada Lovelace was an English mathematician and writer, primarily known for her work on Charles Babbage’s early mechanical general-purpose computer. While she did not have a formal degree in the modern sense, Lovelace is regarded as the first computer programmer — long before modern computers were invented. Chien-Shiung Wu, Physicist (May 31, 1912-Feb. 16, 1997) Originally from China, where she earned her degree in physics from the National Central University in Nanking, Chien-Shiung Wu became a leading figure in science. Wu is famous for her “Wu experiment,” which overturned the theory of parity（宇称理论）in physics. This breakthrough led to a Nobel Prize that was awarded to her male colleagues, with Wu’s critical role in the work overlooked. Janaki Ammal, Botanist (Nov. 4, 1897-Feb. 7, 1984) As India’s first female plant scientist, Janaki Ammal made significant progress in the fields of botany. Educated in Madras and the U.S., she held notable positions including teaching at the Women’s Christian College. Her work extended overseas in England before returning to India, contributing greatly to genetics and plant breeding until her death in 1984. Katherine Johnson, Mathematician (Aug. 26, 1918-Feb. 24, 2020) Katherine Johnson played a key role at NASA. She overcame racial and gender barriers, making crucial calculations for the trajectories (轨迹) of spacecraft. Recognized for her contributions, Johnson received the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2015. Her story, highlighted in the film “Hidden Figures”, inspires generations in STEM fields. 21. What did the woman scientist who died young achieve? A. She challenged a physics theory. B. She made breakthroughs in botany. C. She assisted with space exploration. D. She contributed to the computer’s birth. 22. Which scientist once held a teaching position in college? A. Ada Lovelace. B. Chien-Shiung Wu. C. Janaki Ammal. D. Katherine Johnson. 23. What similar experience did Chien-Shiung Wu and Katherine Johnson have? A. They both won the Nobel Prize. B. They faced gender barriers at work. C. Their stories were made into films. D. They were awarded degrees in China. B Throughout history, young individuals are always willing to carry the weight of responsibility and serve their communities selflessly. One such individual is Lily Chen. Lily Chen was introduced to environmental and societal challenges at a very young age. Coming from a family of environmental activists, her father’s strong environmental conscience was a value she learned from childhood. Upon completing her studies at the University of British Columbia in Canada and returning to her native Singapore, Lily’s environmental concerns deepened, especially following the 2011 Fukushima nuclear disaster. A committed volunteer and a born leader, Lily was actively involved from the beginning. She helped to organize and lead at meet-ups in cafes and community halls, as well as run workshops, and training. Taking direct action, she has participated in various campaigns such as the global movement 英语试卷 第 4 页 共 8 页 against single-use plastics. “Advocating for the environment has shown me that making a difference is not a sprint but a marathon,” Lily remarked. “We must try to put up with tough times. But I’m sure we’ll make a difference in a long run.” As an artist and educator, Lily organized interactive art project in line with Greenpeace Singapore’s campaigns on topics like deforestation and plastic pollution. A notable project was “Wings of Biodiversity,” where she directed a group of 30 young volunteers to create a 64-meter-long mural(壁画) as a part of a worldwide street art initiative fighting deforestation in the Amazon. “Climate change is an urgent crisis,” Lily stated. “Yet, the activism of the youth in recent years offers a ray of hope. The youths of today are well organized, and passionate about expressing their desire for positive change and a green and sustainable future for all.” 24. What can we know about Lily Chen’s father? A. He was an animal activist. B. He taught at a university. C. He cared much about environment. D. He was living in poor conditions. 25. Which of the following best describes Lily Chen? A. Inflexible. B. Socially responsible. C. Unpopular. D. Economically disadvantaged. 26. What does the underlined part “a sprint” in paragraph 5 mean? A. A short-lived effort. B. An instant success. C. A complex situation. D. An immediate challenge. 27. What might be the purpose of the “Wings of Biodiversity” project? A. To produce distinctive street art. B. To preserve the Amazon rainforest. C. To fight against plastic pollution. D. To recognize environmental activists. C As ice sheets melted, they often left behind landscapes that typically take many years to become habitable for vegetation and wildlife. However, recent research has discovered that in just three years, these poor areas can be brought back to life by South American camelids (美洲鸵). By the foot of Peru’s Uruashraju glacier, researchers partnered with local farmers to herd camelids on four plots. For three days a month from 2019 to 2022, the camelids grazed (吃草) the plots. By the end of that time, the otherwise dry and easily destroyed soil stabilized, grew richer in nutrients and supported 57 percent more plant cover than before. Such an ancestral Andean practice of camelids herding could potentially cushion the crops, animals and livelihoods of local communities from the impacts of climate change. As is the case worldwide, glaciers are disappearing in Peru’s Cordillera Blanca mountains at an astonishing rate. And as the ice melts, nearby ecosystems lose access to summertime supplies of freshwater and sometimes encounter harmful acidic minerals in rocks once covered by the glaciers. Camelids may help counter some of these effects. Their transformation of the land could reduce rock weathering, thus limiting the acidic runoff that can poison farmers’ crops. The idea that grass-eating animals grazing may positively impact a landscape is not new. Nor is rewilding, the push to reintroduce key species to their native ecosystems, unique to the Cordillera Blanca mountains. In Finland, for example, the Indigenous Sami are working to reintroduce reindeer in deforested land. And a group in Spain hopes one day to lift the wild cattle known as the auroch out of extinction, putting it to use in grazing. But the size and speed of the changes the camelids helped bring about surprised the researchers. 英语试卷 第 5 页 共 8 页 “Putting nutrients over the soil can produce similar effects on plant growth,” says ecologist Kelsey Reider of James Madison University, but “the animals themselves are doing a lot.” For one, animal waste is special. For another, the camelids weed out dominant plants, making space for new species. 28. What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A. Results of camelids herding. B. Impacts of climate change. C. Ancestral Andean practices. D. Partnership with local farmers. 29. What might be a consequence of glaciers’ melting? A. Increased acidic runoff. B. Reduced rock weathering. C. Decline in summer rainfall. D. Shortage of mineral resources. 30. Why are “the reindeer” and “the auroch” mentioned in paragraph 4? A. To clarify a potential problem. B. To explain a natural phenomenon. C. To compare different rewilding project. D. To justify a conservation effort. 31. What is Kelsey Reider’s attitude towards camelids herding? A. Disapproving. B. Unclear. C. Doubtful. D.Favorable. D We’ve all had that restless feeling, that urge to be doing something — anything — other than what we’re doing right now. It’s boredom. Boredom doesn’t just color (影响) the time spent sitting in waiting rooms or watching dull television shows. It can also come into the larger patterns of our lives, such as our jobs and relationships. And it brings a message. Just like pain. Pain is your body’s way of telling you that something is wrong, and that you need to do something about it. Boredom is telling you that what you’re doing is not a good fit for the mental or emotional resources you have at that moment. You may have heard that boredom increases creativity, and some research seems to suggest that it does. But more recent research has called the idea into question, says Andreas Elpidorou, author of Propelled: How Boredom, Frustration, and Anticipation Lead Us to the Good Life. A 2016 study found that boredom probably does not generate creativity. Practice does. In fact, the study found that in many cases, boredom damaged fluency in creative tasks. However, there may be a connection between boredom and creativity. Elpidorou points out that you can respond to boredom in creative ways. And that gets us to what may be the most important fact about boredom: Whether it’s helpful or harmful depends on how you respond to it. When that anxious feeling crops up, it’s easy to immediately reach for your phone and start scrolling (滚动) on social media, or worse. Individuals who are prone (易受...影响的) to boredom are more likely to abuse drugs and alcohol, according to some research. On the other hand, boredom can push you toward more meaningful tasks, says Elpidorou. When boredom strikes, you might call a friend you haven’t heard from in a while, go for a walk or to the gym, or pick up your guitar and play that tune you’ve been working on. The trick, of course, is to pay attention to that boredom alert and make a conscious decision about how to respond. 32. What do “pain” and “boredom” have in common? A. They initiate a need for change. B. They relates to large patterns of life. C. They reflect similar mental problems. D. They’re signs of physical harm. 33. What might the recent research have discovered? A. Boredom enhances creativity. B. Creativity arises from practice. C. Boredom affects cultural exchange. D. Creative tasks improve quality of life. 英语试卷 第 6 页 共 8 页 34. What strategies might Elpidorou recommend to fight boredom? A. Engaging in social media scrolling. B. Replacing boredom with drug abuse. C. Pursuing more meaningful activities. D. Ignoring the urge to avoid boredom. 35. Which is the best title of the text? A. The Essence of Boredom B. Creativity and Boredom C. Keeping Boredom at Bay D. Turning Boredom into Treasure 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。 We can tell something about a person when we notice his or her body posture (姿势 ). The way people hold themselves gives important information. 36 . Not only do we see it in their body posture, but also in the way they have very little eye contact. They say to the world that they are not interested in their environment, nor the people in it. Compare this to someone who walks straight and looks at the world and immediately you will have a different impression. 37 . Another feeling we can communicate with our body posture is one of interest and respect for someone else. Turning your body to someone when they are talking to you indicates that you are interested in hearing what they have to say. 38 . A small effort in this way can make the difference between being accepted by others or not. 39 . Someone who does not feel too comfortable in communication will often assume a defensive position. He or she will possibly have crossed arms or legs or will hold an object such as a bag in front. The bag as well as the crossed arms and legs provide protection for feeling uneasy. We often aren’t aware of the body language signals we’re sending, yet we unconsciously interpret the body language of others. Our interpretations rely heavily on our intuitive（直观的） feelings but it sometimes leads to misunderstandings. 40 . Thus, it’s crucial to be mindful of the gestures you use and the contexts in which you use them. A. It is an act of friendliness and respect B. A body posture can be closed or open C. Our body posture often reflects quite well how we feel D. Take for instance the gesture when we want to say OK E. For example, individuals feeling low often hang their shoulders F. Friendship also gets established by our body language interactions G. A gesture means one thing in one culture and something entirely different in another 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，从短文后各题所给的 A、B、C和 D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最 佳选项。 My best friend Lisa had promised to join me for a movie marathon at my place for my birthday.

I’m a party animal. I love holding parties. But picking the guest list is always painful. Mom gave me a limit on how many friends I could invite, and it was never enough for the crowd I wanted to have. I wrestled with the decision for days, and once I had my list, I crafted the invites and passed them out at school. “How could you invite her?” Jenny, one of my buddies, said angrily when she spotted Shannon’s name on the invite list. The school’s social scene was ruled by the “in” crowd, the cool kids who determined what was hot and what was not — if they wore two different colored socks, it was the next big thing. But if someone like Shannon did it, it was a laughing stock. Shannon was a sweet girl, dressed nice, but she was a bit fat and quiet. She always seemed to break the “uncool” rules without even knowing it. So, some of the students would make fun of her all the time. She got picked on a lot. If there was a strange noise or smell in class, everyone would laugh and point at her. She never fought back, but it upset me. I believed Shannon was innocent in all of this. Now, Jenny cornered me, insisting I should tell Shannon to stay away. She argued there were other, more fitting candidates to fill her place. I had to admit, she had a point. But there was something about Shannon that made me want to stand up for her, to give her a chance to be part of the fun, to show everyone that being different wasn’t a crime. But I was also afraid my decision might ruin my birthday party. 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. Confused about my choices, I found myself in a dilemma.

Yours sincerely, Li Hua 第二节 Confused about my choices, I found myself in a dilemma. I didn’t want to exclude anyone just because they weren’t part of the “in” crowd. Yet, I worried that having Shannon at my party would make things awkward. I decided to take a stand. I believed that everyone deserved a chance to enjoy the party, and maybe this could be an opportunity for others to see past the labels and get to know Shannon for who she truly was. I took a deep breath and prepared to face whatever came next. Unexpectedly, they got along well with quiet Shannon at my party. As the day of the party arrived, the laughter and music filled our home. To my surprise, Shannon’s presence didn’t cause any awkwardness. Instead, her gentle spirit and unique sense of humor charmed the guests. Even Jenny, who had been so against her attendance, found herself laughing at Shannon’s jokes. The party was a success. It was a birthday I would never forget, not just for the fun we had, but for the lesson in kindness and acceptance we all learned. 第 1 页 共 4 页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
