A．Pet B．Handiwork Make C．Rocket to Space D．Icy Journey 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．B 【导语】这是一篇应用文。主要介绍了四本书的内容和价格。 1．细节理解题。根据文章“Was $39.95 Now $19.95”，第二段“Half price: Now only $15”，第三段“839 pages for only $12.50”，第四段“$22.50 for six books”，可以计算出原价分别为39.95，30，12.5，22.5，总计104.95，现价为19.95，15，12.5，22.5，总计69.95，所以节省的金额为104.95-69.95=35，故选D。 2．推理判断题。根据ROCKET TO SPACE 中的“Two months from launch to landing”（从发射到着陆的两个月）可知，《火箭飞向太空》生动地描述了一次太空旅行从最初的准备到最后的着陆。故选C项。 3．推理判断题。根据文章“Make money with dolls -Create baskets from cloth, wood, and feathers -Make international suits and blankets by hand”（用布娃娃赚钱——用布料、木头和羽毛做篮子——手工制作国际套装和毯子），可以推断出，Rosie对冒险和宠物狗感兴趣，而且她现在想要赚钱为大学教育做准备，那么“Handiwork Make”这本书可以教她如何通过制作玩偶来赚钱。用布料、木头和羽毛做篮子——手工制作国际套装和毯子，故选B。 02 Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank. 【来源】上海市黄浦区2023-2024学年高二上学期区统考期末英语试卷 Top Scientists Take Sides Famous Inducers(Experiment> ) Gregor Mendel(1822-1884) Mendel spent years recording variations in the appearance of peas and other living things. By analysing this data, he identified mathematical laws that govern genetics. Alexander Fleming(1881-1955) While studying bacteria, Fleming observed that bread mold (霉) could kill bacteria harmful to human health. This led him to discover penicillin, the first effective antibiotic. Ernest Rutherford(1871-1937) During an experiment, Rutherford noted that energetic particles could pass easily through thin metal foil (箔). From this evidence he formulated a scientific law: the atom is mostly empty space. Famous Deducers(Theory> Experiment) Isaac Newton(1643-1727) Inspired by the motion of falling objects(but probably not an apple!) Newton proposed that all objects attract each other. Only later did he perform calculations to prove that his idea, “universal gravitation,” was true. Democritus(c. 460-370 B．C． ) Based on philosophical principles, Democritus argued that a material cannot be divided into smaller pieces forever; he called its smallest possible unit an “atom.” Democritus had no means to test his theory. But later experimenters proved atoms are real. Alfred Wegener(1880-1930) Noticing the interlockable shapes of the continents, Wegener made the bold proposal that Earth’s land masses began as a single, giant continent. Over many years, many disciplines including geology and fossilology would finally prove that his theory of “continental drift” is accurate. 4．Which of the following best define “Inducers” and “Deducers” according to the poster? A．Inducers are those who arrive at a conclusion based on theories. B．Inducers prefer to make experiments to prove some relative theories. C．Deducers usually do more experiments than develop theories. D．Deducers tend to arrive at a conclusion by reasoning or inference. 5．Which of the following is True according to the poster? A．Mendel recognised mathematical laws governing genetics by farming. B．Newton proposed the idea “universal gravitation” by observing the falling of apples. C．It was Fleming who made the discovery of the first effective antibiotic. D．Alfred Wegener created the theory of “continental drift” after he found rich evidence. 6．Where can this poster most probably be seen? A．In a university lecture. B．In a physics textbook. C．In a science magazine. D．In an advertisement. 【答案】4．D 5．C 6．C 【导语】这是一篇应用文。短文主要介绍了两种科学家的研究方法：归纳法（Inducers）和演绎法（Deducers），并举例说明了这两种方法的代表性科学家及其贡献。 4．推理判断题。根据表格右侧“Inspired by the motion of falling objects(but probably not an apple!)Newton proposed that all objects attract each other. ”（灵感来自于下落物体的运动(但可能不是苹果!)牛顿提出所有物体都相互吸引。）根据“Based on philosophical principles, Democritus argued that a material cannot be divided into smaller pieces forever; he called its smallest possible unit an “atom.” ”（基于哲学原理，德谟克利特认为物质不可能永远被分割成更小的碎片；他把它最小的可能单位称为“原子”）根据“Noticing the interlockable shapes of the continents, Wegener made the bold proposal that Earth’s land masses began as a single, giant continent.”（魏格纳注意到大陆的形状是相互联系的，他大胆地提出地球的陆地群最初是一个单一的巨大大陆。）可知，演绎法的科学家是通过推理或推断来得出结论。故选D。 5．细节理解题。根据表格左侧Alexander Fleming(1881-1955)部分中“While studying bacteria, Fleming observed that bread mold (霉) could kill bacteria harmful to human health. This led him to discover penicillin, the first effective antibiotic.”（弗莱明在研究细菌时发现面包霉能杀死对人体有害的细菌。这使他发现了第一个有效的抗生素，青霉素。）可知，是弗莱明发现了第一个有效的抗生素。故选C。 6．推理判断题。短文主要介绍了两种科学家的研究方法：归纳法（Inducers）和演绎法（Deducers），并举例说明了这两种方法的代表性科学家及其贡献。所以短文来自科学杂志。故选C。 03 Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct.

These 20-or 40-foot containers can be obtained for as little as several hundred US dollars a piece, and it’s not surprising that some industry professionals and even city planners consider them the future of home building. Below are details of some amazing homes made out of shipping containers. London Container City (I and II) London’s Container City first sprang up in the heart of the docklands in 2001. It took just five months to complete the original 12 work studios. Shortly after that, a fourth floor of studios and living apartments was built on top of these. The first container city was so successful that another—Container City II—was added to it. Los Angeles Redondo Beach house With its modern lines and appealing spaces, the award-winning Redondo Beach House is a luxury beachside showpiece built from eight recycled steel shipping containers, along with some traditional building materials. According to the architects, the modified containers are “nearly indestructible”. Amsterdam Keetwonen Amsterdam’s massive Keetwonen complex houses 1,000 students and it is the largest container city in the world. The housing project is a roaring success and features units that are quiet and comfortable. Each resident enjoys a bathroom, a kitchen and separate sleeping and studying quarters. The complex even has central heating and high-speed internet as well as areas for parking bikes. Mexico M2ATK Container House M2ATK designed this unique container house for an artist. It’s fully equipped with heating and cooling, a kitchen and bathroom. On the bottom floor of the house are “public spaces” such as the kitchen and living room. The second floor are bedrooms, and the top floor is a studio space in which to work, read and “let fly the imagination”. 7．Compared to traditional houses, container houses are________.

A．London Container City (I and II) B．Los Angeles Redondo Beach house C．Amsterdam Keetwonen D．Mexico M2ATK Container House 【答案】7．B 8．B 9．D 【导语】本文为一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了几款用船运集装箱建造的令人惊叹的房屋。 7．细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Shipping containers are gaining popularity as an alternative to traditional houses. These 20-or 40-foot containers can be obtained for as little as several hundred US dollars a piece, and it’s not surprising that some industry professionals and even city planners consider them the future of home building.(船运集装箱作为传统房屋的替代品越来越受到欢迎。这些10或者40英寸的集装箱没见只需要几百美元，一些行业的专业人士甚至城市规划者将其视为家庭建筑的未来也不足为奇了。)”可知，集装箱房屋与传统房屋相比，其优势在于它的价格便宜，故选B。 8．细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Amsterdam’s massive Keetwonen complex houses 1,000 students and it is the largest container city in the world. The housing project is a roaring success and features units that are quiet and comfortable. Each resident enjoys a bathroom, a kitchen and separate sleeping and studying quarters. The complex even has central heating and high-speed internet as well as areas for parking bikes.(阿姆斯特丹庞大的Keetwonen综合楼容纳了1000名学生，是世界上最大的集装箱城市。该住宅项目取得了巨大的成功，拥有安静舒适的单元。每位居民都享有一间浴室、一件厨房以及独立的睡眠和学习区。)”可知，阿姆斯特丹庞大的Keetwonen有着现代设施，独立浴室、厨房、睡眠区和学习区，故选B。 9．细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“On the bottom floor of the house are “public spaces” such as the kitchen and living room. The second floor are bedrooms, and the top floor is a studio space in which to work, read and “let fly the imagination”.(房子的底层是‘公共空间’，如厨房和餐厅。二楼是卧室，顶层是工作室，可以在这里工作、阅读和‘释放想象力’。)”可知，Mexico M2ATK Container House适合，这一家人需要公共空间和独立的区域，还需要孩子的学习以及他们工作的地方，故选D。 04 Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct.

And with an additional keyboard, great displays and long battery life, the Surface tablets make for great machines for work or play respectively.Best tablet: Microsoft Surface Pro 8 Amazon Amazon does indeed make tablets and, they’re capable too. Amazon’s Fire HD tablets are firmly in the budget tablet range but that doesn’t make them less capable.

Our company develops and focuses on the regional “Happy Village Project” strategy to focus on villages rather than individual farmers. The philosophy of the Happy Village Project is to “heal and develop” by organizing the farmers and training them on growing and harvesting techniques which increase raw-material quality and meet the requirements of consumers being conscious of healthy diet. Today, there are more than 3,000 registered farmers, cultivating more than 11,000 hectares of land in more than 150 villages in our Happy Village Project. In the agricultural project, small farmers get the tools, training and support they need to grow some of the finest produce on earth. Our team of experts trains, guides and monitors the registered farmers, using the latest techniques to ensure the highest level of quality and consistency of our eco-friendly and safe products. What do we do at Happy Villages? Our company experts do researches to choose the right district by recording the details of the fields and products and train farmers who are willing to learn about organic farming. We draw maps of the fields in order to designate the field and also to prevent possible crosscontamination (交叉污染) risks which may come from the neighbor fields. In order to make sure farmers are practicing the organic regulations, our experts frequently and randomly visit registered farmers to follow up, guide and inspect. Our agriculture team is also involved in using “Early Warning Systems” in the fields, in order to minimize the risk of potential problems as well as taking samples from leaves, soil and fruit, in order to monitor the field throughout the year. We also help entire villages flourish through our commitment to social responsibility by means of performing necessary activities to improve the socio-economic structure of the villages, like the needs and requirements of the children at school, improvement in workers’ buildings, providing water tanks during water crisis in the regions, and etc. From our Happy Villages directly to your table!

Hot Air Ballooning begins in the cool, still hours of the early morning, when the air is more stable.

By analysing this data, he identified mathematical laws that govern genetics. Alexander Fleming(1881-1955) While studying bacteria, Fleming observed that bread mold (霉) could kill bacteria harmful to human health. This led him to discover penicillin, the first effective antibiotic. Ernest Rutherford(1871-1937) During an experiment, Rutherford noted that energetic particles could pass easily through thin metal foil (箔). From this evidence he formulated a scientific law: the atom is mostly empty space. Famous Deducers(Theory> Experiment) Isaac Newton(1643-1727) Inspired by the motion of falling objects(but probably not an apple!) Newton proposed that all objects attract each other. Only later did he perform calculations to prove that his idea, “universal gravitation,” was true. Democritus(c. 460-370 B．C． ) Based on philosophical principles, Democritus argued that a material cannot be divided into smaller pieces forever; he called its smallest possible unit an “atom.” Democritus had no means to test his theory. But later experimenters proved atoms are real. Alfred Wegener(1880-1930) Noticing the interlockable shapes of the continents, Wegener made the bold proposal that Earth’s land masses began as a single, giant continent. Over many years, many disciplines including geology and fossilology would finally prove that his theory of “continental drift” is accurate. 4．Which of the following best define “Inducers” and “Deducers” according to the poster? A．Inducers are those who arrive at a conclusion based on theories. B．Inducers prefer to make experiments to prove some relative theories. C．Deducers usually do more experiments than develop theories. D．Deducers tend to arrive at a conclusion by reasoning or inference. 5．Which of the following is True according to the poster? A．Mendel recognised mathematical laws governing genetics by farming. B．Newton proposed the idea “universal gravitation” by observing the falling of apples. C．It was Fleming who made the discovery of the first effective antibiotic. D．Alfred Wegener created the theory of “continental drift” after he found rich evidence. 6．Where can this poster most probably be seen? A．In a university lecture. B．In a physics textbook. C．In a science magazine. D．In an advertisement. 03 Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct.

Below are details of some amazing homes made out of shipping containers. London Container City (I and II) London’s Container City first sprang up in the heart of the docklands in 2001.

The first container city was so successful that another—Container City II—was added to it. Los Angeles Redondo Beach house With its modern lines and appealing spaces, the award-winning Redondo Beach House is a luxury beachside showpiece built from eight recycled steel shipping containers, along with some traditional building materials. According to the architects, the modified containers are “nearly indestructible”. Amsterdam Keetwonen Amsterdam’s massive Keetwonen complex houses 1,000 students and it is the largest container city in the world. The housing project is a roaring success and features units that are quiet and comfortable. Each resident enjoys a bathroom, a kitchen and separate sleeping and studying quarters. The complex even has central heating and high-speed internet as well as areas for parking bikes. Mexico M2ATK Container House M2ATK designed this unique container house for an artist. It’s fully equipped with heating and cooling, a kitchen and bathroom. On the bottom floor of the house are “public spaces” such as the kitchen and living room. The second floor are bedrooms, and the top floor is a studio space in which to work, read and “let fly the imagination”. 7．Compared to traditional houses, container houses are________.

We draw maps of the fields in order to designate the field and also to prevent possible crosscontamination (交叉污染) risks which may come from the neighbor fields. In order to make sure farmers are practicing the organic regulations, our experts frequently and randomly visit registered farmers to follow up, guide and inspect. Our agriculture team is also involved in using “Early Warning Systems” in the fields, in order to minimize the risk of potential problems as well as taking samples from leaves, soil and fruit, in order to monitor the field throughout the year. We also help entire villages flourish through our commitment to social responsibility by means of performing necessary activities to improve the socio-economic structure of the villages, like the needs and requirements of the children at school, improvement in workers’ buildings, providing water tanks during water crisis in the regions, and etc. From our Happy Villages directly to your table!
