B During 20 years of working at his family’s supermarket, José Luis-Reig, known as Pep, never gave a thought to the world of academia(学术界). It was only when visiting the classrooms of universities with his two teenage daughters that he suddenly felt himself at home among ‘the atmosphere of learning’. After school Pep had intended to study biology but was called on to help run the family business instead. When he was at school, he developed a reputation for helping others and so was invited onto the local radio, where the presenter said. “You’re like a young psychologist(心理学家).” Pep was no stranger to change. The family business had originally been a sawmill(锯木厂). But when Pep, then 27, was asked if he wanted to take over, he decided to change the mill into the town’s first supermarket. One day in the shop, the radio presenter’s comment came back to him. After running the idea past his family, he applied to a university in Palma to study psychology and, aged 46, was accepted. “I had to get used to being much older than the other students.” he says. “But I ended up helping the others because I’d had more life experience.” Pep came top of his year and impressed his tutors(导师)so much that he was offered a job researching and teaching. Now 52, and still in the job. He adds, “My only regret is not having done it earlier.” The traditional view used to be that, while making changes in your youth was acceptable, you should then settle on a career and stick to it. But today record numbers of 50-and 60-somethings are choosing to take on new challenges. Job satisfaction becomes increasingly significant when you’ve only got a few miles on the clock. 4. Why did Pep determine to return to school at the age of 46? A. He was eager to help others. B. He was tired of staying at the same job for so long. C. He decided to earn a degree and make more money. D. Accompanying his daughters to universities inspired him to learn. 5. What caused Pep to quit his dream of further studying? A. Failing to achieve excellent academic results. B. Getting bored with the atmosphere of learning. C. The desire to try his hand at the commercial market. D. The request of taking over the family business from home. 6. How does Pep feel about his present situation? A. Dissatisfied. B. Appreciative. C. Doubtful. D. Confused. 7. What does the text intend to convey? A. Great hopes make great man. B. A brave attempt is half success. C. Do what you say, say what you do! D. It’s never too late to fulfill your dream. C Twenty years ago, the idea of sharing personal information publicly was uncommon. Nowadays, it’s normal for young people to post updates about their lives and interact on the Internet regularly. Supporters of social media say it brings people closer together, and helps make friends, learn about different cultures, and celebrate events. Yet, concerns arise over this lifestyle’s impact, especially regarding the quantity and nature of shared information. Studies reveal that overuse of social media could be harmful. Researchers observed individuals’moods before and after platform interactions and found that the more time people spent on social media, the more unhappy they felt. This outcome has several reasons. Social media often features idealized content like beautiful vacations, lively events, and trendy outfits. Since negative experiences or unappealing images are rarely shared, it creates a false reality. Comparing these highlights to one’s own life can contribute to depression, as people may perceive their lives as inferior. Even those sharing the positive content can get worried and stressed about how many likes and comments they get, and whether they are popular enough. Online bullying makes things worse, with people being mean and hurtful in their comments. Since social media is a big part of our lives now it’s not going away. Research emphasizes finding a balance between our digital and physical existence. It’s not necessary to cut off from the online world to be happy, but it’s important to be aware of the selective image that the online world presents. Understanding that what we see online is a fraction of the complete story allows us to safeguard our mental health and enjoy life to the fullest. 8. What is the impact of inappropriate social media use according to the research? A. It enhances online interactions. B. It increases overall happiness. C. It can lead to unhappiness. D. It improves global connectivity. 9. Why might individuals feel stressed after posting the positive content on social media? A. They are concerned others mislead their posts. B. They believe others lead happier lives. C. They fear they may be cyber-bullied by others. D. They worry about quality of their posts. 10. How does the author develop the third paragraph of the article? A. By providing examples. B. By listing causes. C. By making comparisons. D. By describing process. 11. What is the author’s main purpose in writing the article? A. To encourage people to quit social media. B. To discuss the benefits of social media. C. To highlight the negative effects of social media. D. To advocate balancing online and offline lives. D In the coming decade, space agencies and private space companies like SpaceX are planning to build a base on the Moon and Mars. While scientists are already building rockets for the journey, for long-term human settlements on them, astronauts will need fuel to carry out daily tasks. Many have suggested hydrogen (氢). But a group of scientists is working on turning CO2 in the atmosphere into jet fuel. As Mars is rich in CO2 and the lunar surface has a high concentration of CO2, it may be a feasible solution. For now the team of scientists at the University of Oxford is focusing on making jet fuel for the aviation (航空) industry. As the aviation industry releases over 900 million tons of CO2 every year, to battle climate change, it is necessary to turn the tide. So far aviation scientists have tried to use other energy resources like electricity to fly. But such flights are limited to short distances. For long-distance flights, there is no alternative yet. The concept of turning CO2 into jet fuel is not new. Previously, other similar methods had to rely on expensive catalysts (催化剂) like cobalt to speed up the chemical reaction. But what Oxford scientists suggest is adding a cheap iron-based catalyst and hydrogen to turn CO2 into liquid fuel. As the process would not require using fossil fuel, it will make the industry carbon neutral (碳中和的). The scientists tested the new catalyst in a lab at 300°C and at 10 times the air pressure at sea level. The entire process took 20 hours and turned 38 percent of CO2 into new chemicals. About 48 percent of the chemicals were jet fuel hydrocarbon and the rest were other by-products that are used in the production of plastic. Professor Peter Edwards, a lead scientist in the project, said the new method could be improved in two to three years to produce jet fuel in large quantities. “This is a really exciting, potentially revolutionary advance. Our vision is that the world can see that CO2 collected can be used as an energy carrier to enable sustainable aviation.” 12. Which word can best explain “feasible” underlined in paragraph 1? A. Unique. B. Practical. C. Time-tested. D. Quick. 13. What problem does the aviation industry face? A. It is suffering from a serious fuel shortage. B. The traditional jet fuel is much too expensive. C. Climate change partly disturbs long-distance flights. D. Its alternative energy resources are not powerful enough. 14. What do we know about the Oxford scientists’ method of fuel-making? A. It is green and cost-saving. B. It is complex and time-consuming. C. It runs tests in natural environment. D. It starts with immediate chemical reaction. 15. What’s the purpose of the author? A. To attract people to explore the space. B. To inform us of a breakthrough in fuel research. C To warn us the dangers of climate change. D. To encourage us to work in the aviation industry. 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。 Language is a part of culture and plays a very important role in it. ___16___ Yet language is not the only way to express our ideas and feelings.

Parents would also be invited to watch. One afternoon, my teacher called me into his office. He said with a smile, “Nancy, could you write a poem (诗) and read it during the coming event?” “Of course,” I answered excitedly. I had loved poetry since fifth grade. When my first poem was published, my friends and teachers started to describe me as the class poet. I left the schoolmaster’s office that afternoon feeling quite happy. Then, for weeks, I worked on my poem, carefully designing the content, structure and sound. I practiced reciting(朗诵)it aloud every day. When the evening for the event finally came, I was ready. Well, I was ready until I looked around and realized how many people there were in the school hall. How could I present my poem in front of more than 400 people? I was just a seventh-grader. No one would take my work seriously. What was worse, I had never spoken in front of a huge crowd before. I sat in my chair, wanting to bury(隐藏) myself. Maybe they would forget I was supposed to read. “Hey, Nancie, I saw your name in the program. Good luck,” my little brother shouted. His voice rose as he took his seat a few rows (排)down with his class. I nodded (点头), struggling to keep calm. I knew my parents were somewhere in the hall. Before long, the lights faded (暗下来), the crowd went quiet, and the schoolmaster got on stage to introduce the list of performers. My name was at the end of the list, so I had to sit through an hour of absolute anxiety. It wasn’t until the students from the fourth grade were singing that my teacher led me downstairs to the area next to the stage. My mind was blank (空白的). Then suddenly, I was on stage with the bright white lights blinding (使眼花) my view of the audience. When I walked to the microphone in the center of the stage, I somehow tripped (绊倒) over something and stupidly fell down. All of the kids burst into laughter. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为 150 个左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I was about to run away when my teacher came up to me ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When I finished my reading, the hall was silent at first. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024--2025 学年高二第一学期第二次月考英语科试题 （考试时间：120分钟 试卷满分：120分） 考生注意： 1. 答题前，请务必将自己的姓名、准考证号用黑色字迹的签字笔或钢笔分别填写在试题卷和答题纸规定的位置上。 2. 答题时，请按照答题纸上“注意事项”的要求，在答题纸相应的位置上规范作答，在本试题卷上的作答一律无效。 3. 考试结束后，将答题卡交回。 第二部分 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 Fun Fall Weekend Getaways Gulf Shores, Alabama Alabama’s Gulf Shores is attractive year-round, but the fall months bring fewer crowds and more affordable prices on hotels.

(即便是那些分享积极内容的人也会担心和焦虑自己能得到多少点赞和评论，以及他们是否足够受欢迎。网络欺凌让情况变得更糟，有些人在评论中表现出刻薄和伤人的态度)”可知，发布积极内容的人们也会害怕遭遇其他人的网络欺凌。故选C。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段内容及段首的“This outcome has several reasons.(这个结果有多个原因)”可知，本段中作者列举了导致社交媒体使用后感到不快乐的几个原因，如理想化的内容、负面体验的缺失、比较导致的抑郁等，即作者是通过给出原因来展开第三段的。故选B。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Research emphasizes finding a balance between our digital and physical existence. It’s not necessary to cut off from the online world to be happy, but it’s important to be aware of the selective image that the online world presents. Understanding that what we see online is a fraction of the complete story allows us to safeguard our mental health and enjoy life to the fullest. (研究强调了在数字世界和现实世界之间找到平衡的重要性。我们不必完全与网络世界断开联系就能感到幸福，但认识到网络世界呈现的是有选择性的画面至关重要。理解我们在网上看到的内容只是完整故事的一部分，这有助于我们保护心理健康并充分享受生活) ”可知，作者写这篇文章是为了提倡平衡线上和线下生活，这是很重要的。故选D。 D In the coming decade, space agencies and private space companies like SpaceX are planning to build a base on the Moon and Mars. While scientists are already building rockets for the journey, for long-term human settlements on them, astronauts will need fuel to carry out daily tasks. Many have suggested hydrogen (氢). But a group of scientists is working on turning CO2 in the atmosphere into jet fuel. As Mars is rich in CO2 and the lunar surface has a high concentration of CO2, it may be a feasible solution. For now the team of scientists at the University of Oxford is focusing on making jet fuel for the aviation (航空) industry. As the aviation industry releases over 900 million tons of CO2 every year, to battle climate change, it is necessary to turn the tide. So far aviation scientists have tried to use other energy resources like electricity to fly. But such flights are limited to short distances. For long-distance flights, there is no alternative yet. The concept of turning CO2 into jet fuel is not new. Previously, other similar methods had to rely on expensive catalysts (催化剂) like cobalt to speed up the chemical reaction. But what Oxford scientists suggest is adding a cheap iron-based catalyst and hydrogen to turn CO2 into liquid fuel. As the process would not require using fossil fuel, it will make the industry carbon neutral (碳中和的). The scientists tested the new catalyst in a lab at 300°C and at 10 times the air pressure at sea level. The entire process took 20 hours and turned 38 percent of CO2 into new chemicals. About 48 percent of the chemicals were jet fuel hydrocarbon and the rest were other by-products that are used in the production of plastic. Professor Peter Edwards, a lead scientist in the project, said the new method could be improved in two to three years to produce jet fuel in large quantities. “This is a really exciting, potentially revolutionary advance. Our vision is that the world can see that CO2 collected can be used as an energy carrier to enable sustainable aviation.” 12. Which word can best explain “feasible” underlined in paragraph 1? A. Unique. B. Practical. C. Time-tested. D. Quick. 13. What problem does the aviation industry face? A. It is suffering from a serious fuel shortage. B. The traditional jet fuel is much too expensive. C. Climate change partly disturbs long-distance flights. D. Its alternative energy resources are not powerful enough. 14. What do we know about the Oxford scientists’ method of fuel-making? A. It is green and cost-saving. B. It is complex and time-consuming. C. It runs tests in natural environment. D. It starts with immediate chemical reaction. 15. What’s the purpose of the author? A. To attract people to explore the space. B. To inform us of a breakthrough in fuel research. C. To warn us the dangers of climate change. D. To encourage us to work in the aviation industry. 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. A 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一组科学家正在致力于把大气中的CO₂转化为喷气燃料。 【12题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词前文“But a group of scientists is working on turning CO2 in the atmosphere into jet fuel. As Mars is rich in CO2 and the lunar surface has a high concentration of CO2(但一组科学家正在研究将大气中的二氧化碳转化为喷气燃料。因为火星富含二氧化碳，而月球表面的二氧化碳浓度很高)”可知，科学家想把CO₂转化为喷气燃料，且火星和月球表面CO₂充足，所以这一想法很可行。所以划线单词feasible意为“切实可行的”，和B选项“Practical”意思相近。故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“So far aviation scientists have tried to use other energy resources like electricity to fly. But such flights are limited to short distances. For long-distance flights, there is no alternative yet.(到目前为止，航空科学家已经尝试使用电力等其他能源来飞行。但这种飞行只限于短途飞行。对于长途飞行来说，目前还没有其他选择。)”可知，航空业面临的问题是它的替代能源还不够强大。故选D。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Previously, other similar methods had to rely on expensive catalysts (催化剂) like cobalt to speed up the chemical reaction. But what Oxford scientists suggest is adding a cheap iron-based catalyst and hydrogen to turn CO2 into liquid fuel. As the process would not require using fossil fuel, it will make the industry carbon neutral (碳中和的).(以前，其他类似的方法必须依靠昂贵的催化剂，如钴来加速化学反应。但牛津大学的科学家们建议，加入一种廉价的铁基催化剂和氢，将二氧化碳转化为液体燃料。由于该过程不需要使用化石燃料，它将使该行业实现碳中和。)”可知，把CO₂转化为液体燃料无需昂贵的催化剂，也能达到碳中和，可得出牛津大学科学家的燃料制造方法是环保和节省成本的。故选A。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。由第一段中的“But a group of scientists is working on turning CO2 in the atmosphere into jet fuel.(但一组科学家正在研究将大气中的二氧化碳转化为喷气燃料。)”和下文对此研究内容与过程的介绍可知，文章介绍了一组科学家正在致力于把大气中的CO₂转化为喷气燃料，因此本文的目的是告诉我们燃料研究的突破，故选B。 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。 Language is a part of culture and plays a very important role in it. ___16___ Yet language is not the only way to express our ideas and feelings. Body movement, eye contact, gesture, and facial expression are other forms of language we call nonverbal communication. ___17___ According to Social Anthropologist, Edward T. Hall, in a normal conversation between two persons, less than 15% of social meaning is transmitted (传达) by words. Different cultures have different ways of using nonverbal communication and people have different gestures to convey their expressions. However, nonverbal communication, like traffic, is not random (随意的);it has a purpose. ___18___ Learning the different common rules of body language in different cultures is very useful for us to understand each other better. People coming from the same culture share common understanding by using the same body language such as eye management, facial expressions, gestures, and body movements. ___19___ For example, “arms”, which are used little by Nordics during a conversation, are an important element in one’s communicative weaponry (武器) in Italy, Spain, and South America. ___20___ In these cultures, one should stand with feet pressed together and hands interlaced (交错) in front of the body. In cultures such as America, where you often stand with your feet shoulder­length apart, arms at your side, standing in this fashion might be interpreted as being shy and insecure. A. Misuse of body language can be unpleasant. B. And there are common rules to guide its flow. C. Without language, culture would not be possible. D. Body language makes up the largest part of our nonverbal communication. E. But in different cultures nonverbal communication takes on different patterns. F. If you’ re learning a new language, a great way is to watch movies and TV shows. G. In Africa, standing in a too “open” fashion, means that your posture might be inappropriate. 【答案】16. C 17. D 18. B 19. E 20. G 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。肢体语言可以帮助人们传递信息，但是同一种姿势可能会因文化不同而产生不同的含义。 【16题详解】 根据上文“Language is a part of culture and plays a very important role in it.(语言是文化的一部分，在文化中起着非常重要的作用)”可知，上文主要说明了语言的重要性，C项与上文中的“Language is a part of culture and plays a very important role in it.”为顺承关系，指出了语言在文化中的重要性。C项中的language、culture与上文中的Language、culture为原词复现关系。C选项“没有语言，就不可能有文化”符合语境，故选C。 【17题详解】 根据上文“Body movement, eye contact, gesture, and facial expression are other forms of language we call nonverbal communication.(身体动作、眼神交流、手势和面部表情是我们称之为非语言交流的其他形式的语言)”以及后文“According to Social Anthropologist, Edward T. Hall, in a normal conversation between two persons, less than 15% of social meaning is transmitted (传达) by words.(根据社会人类学家爱德华·t·霍尔的说法，在两人之间的正常对话中，只有不到15%的社会意义是通过语言传递的)”可知，本句对上文进行了进一步的解释说明，D项中的“nonverbal communication”与上文中的“nonverbal communication”为原词复现关系。此外，下文中引用的Edward T．Hall的发现是对D项的进一步解释。故D选项“肢体语言在我们的非语言交流中占了很大一部分”符合语境，故选D。 【18题详解】 根据上文“Different cultures have different ways of using nonverbal communication and people have different gestures to convey their expressions. However, nonverbal communication, like traffic, is not random (随意的);it has a purpose.(不同的文化有不同的使用非语言交流的方式，人们有不同的手势来表达他们的表情。然而，非语言交流，就像交通一样，不是随机的；它是有目的的)”可知，上文主要提到了非语言交流的方式是有目的的，故本句继续提到非语言交流背后的规则，B项中的“there are common rules to guide its flow”与上文中的“is not random”相照应；its指代上文中的“nonverbal communication”。故B选项“有一些共同的规则来引导它的流动”符合语境，故选B。 【19题详解】 根据下文“For example, “arms”, which are used little by Nordics during a conversation, are an important element in one’s communicative weaponry (武器) in Italy, Spain, and South America.(例如，arms一词在北欧人的谈话中很少使用，但在意大利、西班牙和南美，它是交际武器的重要组成部分)”指出了同一个词语在不同文化中有不同的含义，可知本句与上文为转折关系，指出非语言交际有不同的模式。E选项“但是在不同的文化中，非语言交际有不同的模式”符合语境，故选E。 【20题详解】 根据后文“In these cultures, one should stand with feet pressed together and hands interlaced (交错) in front of the body. In cultures such as America, where you often stand with your feet shoulder­length apart, arms at your side, standing in this fashion might be interpreted as being shy and insecure.(在这些文化中，一个人应该站在前面，两脚并拢，双手交叉。在像美国这样的文化中，你经常双脚分开站着，手臂放在身体两侧，这样站着可能会被理解为害羞和没有安全感)”可知，本句与下文为顺承关系，指出非洲文化中应使用的正确站姿。G项中的standing与下文中的stand及standing为原词复现关系。G选项“在非洲，站得太‘开放’意味着你的姿势可能不合适”符合语境，故选G。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 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，并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。 Watching a plane fly across the sky as a young boy, Todd Smith knew that flying was what he wanted to do when he was older.

Parents would also be invited to watch. One afternoon, my teacher called me into his office. He said with a smile, “Nancy, could you write a poem (诗) and read it during the coming event?” “Of course,” I answered excitedly. I had loved poetry since fifth grade. When my first poem was published, my friends and teachers started to describe me as the class poet. I left the schoolmaster’s office that afternoon feeling quite happy. Then, for weeks, I worked on my poem, carefully designing the content, structure and sound. I practiced reciting(朗诵)it aloud every day. When the evening for the event finally came, I was ready. Well, I was ready until I looked around and realized how many people there were in the school hall. How could I present my poem in front of more than 400 people? I was just a seventh-grader. No one would take my work seriously. What was worse, I had never spoken in front of a huge crowd before. I sat in my chair, wanting to bury(隐藏) myself. Maybe they would forget I was supposed to read. “Hey, Nancie, I saw your name in the program. Good luck,” my little brother shouted. His voice rose as he took his seat a few rows (排)down with his class. I nodded (点头), struggling to keep calm. I knew my parents were somewhere in the hall. Before long, the lights faded (暗下来), the crowd went quiet, and the schoolmaster got on stage to introduce the list of performers. My name was at the end of the list, so I had to sit through an hour of absolute anxiety. It wasn’t until the students from the fourth grade were singing that my teacher led me downstairs to the area next to the stage. My mind was blank (空白的). Then suddenly, I was on stage with the bright white lights blinding (使眼花) my view of the audience. When I walked to the microphone in the center of the stage, I somehow tripped (绊倒) over something and stupidly fell down. All of the kids burst into laughter. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为 150 个左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I was about to run away when my teacher came up to me ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When I finished my reading, the hall was silent at first. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version I was about to run away when my teacher came up to me. He joked that I had fallen because I was eager to bow to the audience. His humor helped me deal with my embarrassment. Then he invited the audience to clap. Feeling less nervous, I took the microphone and cleared my throat before reading the title. Surprisingly, my voice sounded clear and loud. The hall was silent. I continued reading, with words coming out in the right order and lines flowing together appropriately. When I finished my reading, the hall was silent at first. With sweat running down my forehead, I bit my lip nervously. Maybe no one liked my poem. Then, out of the silence, there was clapping and cheering. I looked for my parents in the sea of faces, and saw my mother wiping away tears and my father smiling. With a light-headed feeling and a happy smile, I bowed slightly and walked off the stage. I greeted each person I met when going back to my seat, with relief and gratitude spreading warmly through my body. 【解析】 【导语】本文以感恩节为线索展开，讲述了庆祝感恩节时，学校要搞文艺演出，让作者发挥特长，朗读自己写的诗歌，作者积极准备，刻苦练习，不免还是特别紧张，演出时，不幸被绊倒，尴尬的场面被老师机智幽默地化解，最终获得成功的故事。 【详解】段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我正要逃跑，这时我的老师向我走来。”可知，第一段可描写老师机智幽默地帮助作者化解了尴尬场面。 ②由第二段首句内容“当我念完后，大厅里一开始是一片寂静。”可知，第二段可描写作者的诗歌朗诵获得意外成功，作者快乐轻松。 续写线索：帮助——幽默——表演——成功——欢迎——轻松——快乐 词汇激活 行为类 渴望：be eager to/long for 帮助：help/assist 处理：deal with/cope with 喜欢：like/be fond of 情绪类 紧张的：nervous/tense 高兴的：happy/delighted 【点睛】[高分句型1] He joked that I had fallen because I was eager to bow to the audience.（运用了that引导宾语从句，because引导原因状语从句） [高分句型2] I greeted each person I met when going back to my seat, with relief and gratitude spreading warmly through my body.（运用了省略了that引导的定语从句，when引导的时间状语从句的省略以及with的复合结构） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
