肇庆鼎湖中学2024-2025学年第一学期10月质量检测 高二年级英语学科 第一部分 阅读（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 You probably know who Marie Curie was but you may not have heard of Rachel Carson. Of the outstanding ladies listed below, who do you think was the most important woman of the past 100 years? Jane Addams (1860-1935) Anyone who has ever been helped by a social worker has Jane Addams to thank. Addams helped the poor and worked for peace. She encouraged a sense of community (社区) by creating shelters and promoting education and services for people in need. In 1931, Addams became the first American woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize. Rachel Carson (1907-1964) If it weren’t for Rachel Carson, the environmental movement might not exist today. Her popular1962 book Silent Spring raised awareness of the dangers of pollution and the harmful effects of chemicals on humans and on the world’s lakes and oceans. Sandra Day O’Connor (1930-present) When Sandra Day O’Connor finished third in her class at Stanford Law School, in 1952, she could not find work at a law firm because she was a woman. She became an Arizona state senator (参议员) and, in 1981, the first woman to join the US Supreme Court. O’Connor gave the deciding vote in many important cases during her 24 years on the top court. Rosa Parks (1913-2005) On 1 December 1955, in Montgomery, Alabama, Rosa Parks would not give up her seat on a bus toa white passenger. Her simple act landed Parks in prison. But it also set off the Montgomery bus boycott. It lasted for more than a year, and kicked off the civil-rights movement. “The only tired I was, was tired of giving in,” said Parks. 1. What is Jane Addams noted for in history? A. Her social work. B. Her teaching skills. C. Her efforts to win a prize. D. Her community background. 2. What was the reason for O’Connor’s being rejected by the law firm? A. Her lack of proper training in law. B. Her little work experience in court. C. The discrimination (歧视) against women. D. The poor financial conditions. 3. Who made a great contribution to the civil-rights movement in the US? A. Jane Addams. B. Rachel Carson. C. Sandra Day O’Connor. D. Rosa Parks. B Driving on up to Yosemite with my family was exciting but nerve-racking (神经紧张). I had never been to such an amazing national park before, yet I wasn’t the most athletic person so I knew that I couldn’t stick through all the hiking up and down. It actually ended up being a fun and adventurous experience. The ride there was definitely long but worth it. As I woke up from my nap, I saw the beautiful scenery of the tall mountains and beautiful streams. The trails were made nicely for visitors. The waterfalls were breathtaking. Climbing up rocks was one of my favorite parts. Even though I fell a couple of times, I still have a lot of fun. The fact that my family and I spent so much time together all trying to find out which route to take and what views to watch really brought us closer together. The great thing about nature is that, it’s just you, the views, and the people around you. There’s nothing there to bother you and it’s the best way to relax and enjoy yourself. Yosemite has 5 of the world’s highest waterfalls, and about 300 lakes. The structure of each mountain is incredible; it’s formed in ways that almost take your breath away. Some of them are of a deep dark color with waterfalls forming; some are formed with spots of green peeking (窥探) out. It’s definitely something you wouldn’t want to miss. Yosemite isn’t the only great National Park but based on my experience I highly recommend going out and enjoying nature with family and friends. It’s a great time to bond, laugh, and take in what Mother Nature offers. 4. The author writes the first paragraph mainly to ________. A. introduce the topic of this passage B. offer an example to us C. tell us his future plan for hiking D. describe a national park 5. While climbing up rocks, the author was ________. A. nerve-racking B. injured C. pleased D. worried 6. According to the passage, Yosemite ________. A. is crowded with visitors every day B. is the only great National Park C. is worth travelling to D. is nothing but a common destination 7. The author suggests us ________. A. keeping a good bond with other people B. visiting Yosemite now and then C. trying to protect the environment D. going out to enjoy the beauty of nature C Have you ever run out of coffee or tea? Found no eggs in the fridge? No bread for the sandwich and the nearest shop is too far away? Well, all that can change in the future. If all goes well, the intelligent future kitchen will soon help solve all your problems. In the future, all kitchen units will be connected to the Internet. The intelligent future kitchen will give wise advice on planning your menu for the day. Worried about your weight?-- It will tell you the right diet and what is good for your health. It will even keep in mind your likes and dislikes! Designed by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, this smart kitchen promises to pay attention to all your needs. The computer’s system will help keep an “eye” on the fridge. If the fridge is empty, the kitchen will automatically call and place an order at the local supermarket. So you don’t have to worry about it at all. You get home late, and don’t know what to make from the collection of ingredients (原料) in your fridge. A while back you might have ordered a take-out but now, instead of worrying about eating a collection of this and that, you’re excited. You can pull out each vegetable, and pass each one in front of a web camera next to your fridge. A few moments later, a screen on your fridge would display a tasty recipe. After dinner, you take your plates to a box next to the sink. You don't have to clean them, your machine does. It produces new plates every time you need to eat. Later in the evening, you phone your other half, who is on a business trip half-way around the world. As you drink your cup of hot coffee, it makes your other half’s cup change color on the other side of the world, another special way to keep in touch. 8. The problem mentioned in the first paragraph will be solved ______. A. by the intelligent kitchen itself B. by finding a good housekeeper C. after you call the supermarket D. after you buy great amounts of food 9. The kitchen of the future may help you ______. A lose weight fast B. keep a healthy diet C. cook delicious food D. clean fridge in time 10. The underlined word “automatically” in the third paragraph means ______. A. in secret B. by chance C. by itself D. again and again 11. The fourth paragraph tells us that the smart kitchen ______. A. will order a take-out for you if you get home late. B. has a big color television and some web cameras C. can pull out all the vegetables from you fridge D. can give a suitable recipe according to your ingredients D The connection between people and plants has long been the subject of scientific research. Recent studies have found positive effects. A study conducted in Youngstown，Ohio，for example, discovered that greener areas of the city experienced less crime. In another，employees were shown to be 15% more productive when their workplaces were decorated with houseplants. The engineers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology(MIT)have taken it a step further changing the actual composition of plants in order to get them to perform diverse，even unusual functions. These include plants that have sensors printed onto their leaves to show when they’re short of water and a plant that can detect harmful chemicals in groundwater. ＂We’re thinking about how we can engineer plants to replace functions of the things that we use every day,＂explained Michael Strano, a professor of chemical engineering at MIT. One of his latest projects has been to make plants glow(发光)in experiments using some common vegetables. Strano’s team found that they could create a faint light for three-and-a-half hours. The light，about one-thousandth of the amount needed to read by，is just a start. The technology, Strano said, could one day be used to light the rooms or even to turn trees into self-powered street lamps. In the future，the team hopes to develop a version of the technology that can be sprayed onto plant leaves in a one-off treatment that would last the plant’s lifetime. The engineers are also trying to develop an on and off＂switch＂where the glow would fade when exposed to daylight. Lighting accounts for about 7% of the total electricity consumed in the US. Since lighting is often far removed from the power source(电源)-such as the distance from a power plant to street lamps on a remote highway-a lot of energy is lost during transmission(传输).Glowing plants could reduce this distance and therefore help save energy. 12. What is the first paragraph mainly about? A. A new study of different plants. B. A big fall in crime rates. C. Employees from various workplaces. D. Benefits from green plants. 13. What is the function of the sensors printed on plant leaves by MIT engineer? A. To detect plants’ lack of water B. To change compositions of plants C. To make the life of plants longer. D. To test chemicals in plants. 14. What can we expect of the glowing plants in the future? A. They will speed up energy production. B. They may transmit electricity to the home. C. They might help reduce energy consumption. D. They could take the place of power plants. 15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. Can we grow more glowing plants? B. How do we live with glowing plants? C. Could glowing plants replace lamps? D. How are glowing plants made pollution-free? 第二节 （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。 When meeting someone for the first time, who won’t know you habitually frown if you’re concentrating, you will be misunderstood. ____16____ Here are four more. Ignore the context ____17____ Depending on the context, the same nonverbal signals can take on totally different meanings. People can’t really understand someone’s nonverbal message unless they understand the circumstances behind it. If you yawn in a staff meeting because you were up early for an international business call —let people know why you’re tired. Find meaning in a single gesture People often try to evaluate your state of mind by monitoring your body language. But they take more notice of any single sign that indicates you’re in a bad mood and not to be approached. ____18____ So when you are standing with your arms folded for your comfort, others may judge your body language as resistant and unapproachable. Evaluate you through the biases (偏见) A neighbour likes me from the moment we met. Before long. I know it’s because I resemble her favorite aunt. That’s how biases can work —the so-called “halo effect.” But biases can also work against you. What if you remind people of someone they dislike? In that case, their original response to you wouldn’t be a good one. ____19____ Compare your behavior with their culture Most of culture’s values are absorbed unconsciously at an early age. Such values affect how people think and act, and more importantly, the kind of criteria by which people judge others. ____20____ For instance, people’s greetings, hand gestures etc. vary with cultures. Therefore, there are many mistakes people make when reading your body language. Under-standing them, and trying not to make the same mistakes, will help you display nonverbal ability. A. Nonverbal signals are very common in our daily life. B. They would even look for your behavior that confirmed this bias. C. What they didn’t realize was that, for this individual, it was a normal behavior. D. In fact, people easily make mistakes reading and reacting to others’ body language. E. What’s proper and correct in one culture may be ineffective or even rude in another. F. Besides, they often assign meaning to negative messages than it does to positive ones. G. Context includes locations, relationships, time, experience, and even room temperature. 完形填空（共15小题，每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 After observing a few big falls from a tree, the Morgan family knew that there were two baby squirrels that needed a bit of extra___21___.

D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文，主要介绍了对人类发展产生重大影响的四位女性Jane Addams、Rachel Carson、Sandra Day O’Connor以及Rosa Parks的故事，赞扬她们为人类进步所做出的巨大贡献。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Jane Addams (1860-1935)部分“Anyone who has ever been helped by a social worker has Jane Addams to thank.(任何曾经得到过社工帮助的人都要感谢Jane Addams。)”可知，任何一个得到社会工作者帮助的人都要感谢Jane Addams。由此可知，正是Jane Addams推动了社会工作的发展，她才因此而出名。故选A。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Sandra Day O’Connor (1930-present)部分“When Sandra Day O’Connor finished third in her class at Stanford Law School, in 1952, she could not find work at a law firm because she was a woman.(1952年，当Sandra Day O’Connor以全班第三名的成绩毕业于Stanford Law School时，她找不到律师事务所的工作，因为她是女性。)”可知，因为是女性，Sandra Day O’Connor在律师事务所找不到工作。由此可知，律师事务所拒绝O’Connor主要是因为她是一位女性，也就是对妇女的歧视。故选C。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章Rosa Parks部分“It lasted for more than a year, and kicked off the civil-rights movement. “The only tired I was, was tired of giving in,” said Parks.(它持续了一年多，并拉开了民权运动的序幕。Parks说：“我唯一感到疲倦的是，我厌倦了屈服。”)”可知，正是因为Rosa Parks的努力，美国的民权运动才得以推进，她对美国的人权运动做出了巨大的贡献。故选D。 B Driving on up to Yosemite with my family was exciting but nerve-racking (神经紧张的).

Recent studies have found positive effects. A study conducted in Youngstown，Ohio，for example, discovered that greener areas of the city experienced less crime. In another，employees were shown to be 15% more productive when their workplaces were decorated with houseplants. The engineers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology(MIT)have taken it a step further changing the actual composition of plants in order to get them to perform diverse，even unusual functions. These include plants that have sensors printed onto their leaves to show when they’re short of water and a plant that can detect harmful chemicals in groundwater. ＂We’re thinking about how we can engineer plants to replace functions of the things that we use every day,＂explained Michael Strano, a professor of chemical engineering at MIT. One of his latest projects has been to make plants glow(发光)in experiments using some common vegetables. Strano’s team found that they could create a faint light for three-and-a-half hours. The light，about one-thousandth of the amount needed to read by，is just a start. The technology, Strano said, could one day be used to light the rooms or even to turn trees into self-powered street lamps. In the future，the team hopes to develop a version of the technology that can be sprayed onto plant leaves in a one-off treatment that would last the plant’s lifetime. The engineers are also trying to develop an on and off＂switch＂where the glow would fade when exposed to daylight. Lighting accounts for about 7% of the total electricity consumed in the US. Since lighting is often far removed from the power source(电源)-such as the distance from a power plant to street lamps on a remote highway-a lot of energy is lost during transmission(传输).Glowing plants could reduce this distance and therefore help save energy. 12. What is the first paragraph mainly about? A. A new study of different plants. B. A big fall in crime rates. C. Employees from various workplaces. D. Benefits from green plants. 13. What is the function of the sensors printed on plant leaves by MIT engineer? A. To detect plants’ lack of water B. To change compositions of plants C. To make the life of plants longer. D. To test chemicals in plants. 14. What can we expect of the glowing plants in the future? A. They will speed up energy production. B. They may transmit electricity to the home. C. They might help reduce energy consumption. D. They could take the place of power plants. 15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. Can we grow more glowing plants? B. How do we live with glowing plants? C. Could glowing plants replace lamps? D. How are glowing plants made pollution-free? 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. C 15. C 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了绿色植物对人们很有好处，因此麻省理工学院的工程师开发了一种发光植物。文章介绍了他们发明这种植物的过程，以及这种植物的一些优势，指出在未来发光植物有可能取代路灯，达到节约能源的作用。 【12题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段中A study conducted in Youngstown, Ohio, for example ,discovered that greener areas of the city experienced less crime. In another, employees were shown to be 15% more productive when their workplaces were decorated with houseplants.可知例如，在俄亥俄州扬斯敦进行的一项研究发现，城市绿化较好的地区犯罪率较低。在另一项研究中，当员工的工作场所被室内植物装饰时，他们的工作效率会提高15%。由此可知，第一段的主旨是关于绿色植物的益处。故选D。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中These include plants that have sensors printed on their leaves to show when they're short of water and a plant that can detect harmful chemicals in groundwater.可知这就包括叶子上印有传感器来显示植物缺水的情况的植物，还有一种植物可以检测到地下水中的有害化学物质。由此可知，麻省理工学院工程师植物叶片上印上传感器的作用是检测植物缺水的情况。故选A。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中Glowing plants could reduce this distance and therefore help save energy.可知发光的植物可以缩短这段距离，从而帮助节约能源。由此可知，这种发光的植物在未来可能有助于减少能源消耗。故选C。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段中Lighting accounts for about 7%of the total electricity consumed in the US. Since lighting is often far removed from the power source-such as the distance from a power plant to street lamps on a remote highway-a lot of energy is lost during transmission. Glowing plants could reduce this distance and therefore help save energy.可知照明约占美国总耗电量的7%。由于照明通常远离电源，例如从发电厂到偏僻公路上路灯的距离，在传输过程中会损失大量能源。发光的植物可以缩短这段距离，从而帮助节约能源。结合文章主要说明了绿色植物对人们很有好处，因此麻省理工学院的工程师开发了一种发光植物，文章介绍了他们发明这种植物的过程，以及这种植物的一些优势，指出在未来发光植物有可能取代路灯，达到节约能源的作用。由此可知，C选项“发光的植物能取代路灯吗？”最符合文章标题。故选C。 第二节 （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。 When meeting someone for the first time, who won’t know you habitually frown if you’re concentrating, you will be misunderstood. ____16____ Here are four more. Ignore the context ____17____ Depending on the context, the same nonverbal signals can take on totally different meanings. People can’t really understand someone’s nonverbal message unless they understand the circumstances behind it. If you yawn in a staff meeting because you were up early for an international business call —let people know why you’re tired. Find meaning in a single gesture People often try to evaluate your state of mind by monitoring your body language. But they take more notice of any single sign that indicates you’re in a bad mood and not to be approached. ____18____ So when you are standing with your arms folded for your comfort, others may judge your body language as resistant and unapproachable. Evaluate you through the biases (偏见) A neighbour likes me from the moment we met. Before long. I know it’s because I resemble her favorite aunt. That’s how biases can work —the so-called “halo effect.” But biases can also work against you. What if you remind people of someone they dislike? In that case, their original response to you wouldn’t be a good one. ____19____ Compare your behavior with their culture Most of culture’s values are absorbed unconsciously at an early age. Such values affect how people think and act, and more importantly, the kind of criteria by which people judge others. ____20____ For instance, people’s greetings, hand gestures etc. vary with cultures. Therefore, there are many mistakes people make when reading your body language. Under-standing them, and trying not to make the same mistakes, will help you display nonverbal ability. A. Nonverbal signals are very common in our daily life. B. They would even look for your behavior that confirmed this bias. C. What they didn’t realize was that, for this individual, it was a normal behavior. D. In fact, people easily make mistakes reading and reacting to others’ body language. E. What’s proper and correct in one culture may be ineffective or even rude in another. F. Besides, they often assign meaning to negative messages than it does to positive ones. G. Context includes locations, relationships, time, experience, and even room temperature. 【答案】16. D 17. G 18. F 19. B 20. E 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇说明文。 介绍了人们可能会对别人的肢体语言产生误解的几种常见的情况及原因。 【16题详解】 根据上文“When meeting someone for the first time, who won’t know you habitually frown if you’re concentrating, you will be misunderstood.(当你第一次和某人见面时，他不知道你会皱起眉头，如果你很专注，你会被误解。)”可知，此处通过具体的例子列举了人们很容易对他人的肢体语言产生误解，设空处应对该现象进行概括。D选项“In fact, people easily make mistakes reading and reacting to others’ body language.(事实上，人们很容易对他人的肢体语言做出错误的解读和反应。)”承接前文，符合语境。故选 D。 【17题详解】 根据下文“Depending on the context, the same nonverbal signals can take on totally different meanings(根据上下文的不同，同样的非语言信号可以有完全不同的含义。)” 可知，此处强调的是，不同的背景会对肢体语言产生极大的影响即语言的语境或者背景的不同导致同样的肢体语言可能会有完全不同的含义。G 选项“Context includes locations, relationships, time, experience, and even room temperature.(语境包括地点、关系、时间、经历，甚至是室温。)”对“语境/背景”进行了解释，指出其包含的具体内容，G 选项中 context 对应下文中 context，形成呼应，符合语境。故选G。 【18题详解】 根据上文“But they take more notice of any single sign that indicates you’re in a bad mood and not to be approached. (但他们会更注意任何一个表明你心情不好、不宜接近的信号。)”以及后一句“So when you are standing with your arms folded for your comfort, others may judge your body language as resistant and unapproachable.(因此，当你为了舒适而交叉双臂站立时，别人可能会认为你的肢体语言是抗拒和不可接近的。)”可知，此处指出当你为了舒适而交叉双臂站立时，别人可能会认为你的肢体语言是抗拒和不可接近的，前文应该强调的是人们之所以会做出该判断的原因，故设空处和前文应该解释的是相关原因，即往往通过判断一个人的单一的肢体行动而判定该人的心情，人们往往赋予判定的负面信息以意义， 而不是正面信息，由此才会断定你是抗拒和不可接近的。F选项“Besides, they often assign meaning to negative messages than it does to positive ones.(此外，他们经常赋予负面信息以意义，而不是正面信息。)”引起下文，解释了他人断定你是不可抗拒和不可接近的原因，符合语境。故选 F。 【19题详解】 根据上文“But biases can also work against you. What if you remind people of someone they dislike? In that case, their original response to you wouldn’t be a good one. (但偏见也可能对你不利。如果你让人们想起他们不喜欢的人呢？在这种情况下，他们最初对你的回应并不好。)”可知，此处强调的是“预先的偏见”对给他人留下印象产生的影响。此处指出的是一些不好的偏见会让他人对自己的最初印象不好。B选项“They would even look for your behavior that confirmed this bias.(他们甚至会寻找你的行为来证实这种偏见。)”是对上文的进一步说明，指出，偏见不仅让他人对你的印象不好，他人还会在此基础上去寻找各种你的行为来印证这种偏见，符合语境。 故选B。 【20题详解】 根据前文“Most of culture’s values are absorbed unconsciously at an early age. Such values affect how people think and act, and more importantly, the kind of criteria by which people judge others.(大多数文化价值观都是在很小的时候就被无意识地吸收了。这些价值观影响着人们的思维和行为，更重要的是，影响着人们评判他人的标准。)”可知，此处强调了无意识吸收的文化价值所产生的影响。E选项“What is right in one culture may be ineffective or even rude in another.(在一种文化中正确的行为在另一种文化中可能是无效的甚至是粗鲁的。)”指出在一种文化中正确的行为在另一种文化中可能是无效的甚至是粗鲁的，符合语境，指出文化价值产生的影响即在一种文化中正确的行为在另一种文化中可能是无效的甚至是粗鲁的。故选E。 完形填空（共15小题，每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 After observing a few big falls from a tree, the Morgan family knew that there were two baby squirrels that needed a bit of extra___21___.
