You can enjoy the excitement and fun of skiing. ①To sum up, Altay is a great place to visit. It has beautiful natural scenery and unique skiing resources. It is really worth going there again and again to feel its special features and value. ②All in all, a trip to Altay is highly recommended and it is well worth revisiting to experience its extraordinary charm and natural wonders. 单选题7. B解析：“demonstrate”有“示威”的意思，句子意思是“一大群人在街上示威，要求更好的工作条件”。“present”是“呈现；赠送”；“protest”主要是“抗议”，但没有“protest in...”这种表达；“oppose”是“反对”，不符合语境，所以选B。 单选题10. D解析：句子意思是“尽管他试图隐藏，但他的脸还是暴露（revealed）了他的紧张”。“conceal”是“隐藏”，与题意相反；“cover”是“覆盖；包括”；“protect”是“保护”，所以选D。 完型填空【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章是一封写给自己的信，信中对自己进行了鼓励并提出了一些要求。 11．考查动词词义辨析。句意：人们倾向于关注你的失败而不是成功，他们是不完美的。A. act行动；B. focus关注；C. rely依赖；D. try尝试。根据后文“on your failures rather than your successes”指关注你的失败，应用focus on。故选B。 12．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：但请记住，你也不是完美的。A. popular受欢迎的；B. suitable合适的；C. obvious明显的；D. perfect完美的。对应上文“they are imperfect.

The particles, suddenly transformed, become adapted to Saturn’s magnetic field lines and start spinning along those invisible paths. When the particles get too close to Saturn’s atmosphere, gravity pulls them in, and they vaporize (蒸发) in the planet’s clouds. Astronomers call this "ring rain", and over time this and other phenomena will weaken the distinctive rings, until nothing is left. (来袭的微陨石和太阳辐射扰乱了环状物质的尘埃小块，使它们带电。这些粒子突然发生了转变，适应了土星的磁场线，并开始沿着那些看不见的路径旋转。当这些粒子太靠近土星的大气层时，引力会把它们吸引过来，然后在土星的云层中蒸发。天文学家称这种现象为“环雨”，随着时间的推移，这种现象和其他现象会削弱独特的环，直到什么都没有留下。)”可知，第二段主要讲述的是土星环会什么会消失。故选C。 38．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段““But, it is a reminder that the worlds of our solar system, however still they might look from here, are dynamic places, with dramatic histories of their own. (但是，它提醒我们，我们太阳系的世界，无论从这里看起来如何，都是充满活力的地方，有着自己戏剧性的历史。)”可推断，太阳系的行星是动态的，不断变化的。故选D。 39．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“The Voyager mission had spotted some evidence of ring stuff leaking into Saturn, but with Cassini, astronomers could really investigate the phenomenon, and make their best estimates yet for how long the rings would stick around.(旅行者号的任务已经发现了一些光环物质泄漏到土星的证据，但通过卡西尼号，天文学家可以真正研究这一现象，并对光环会停留多久做出最好的估计。)”可推断，天文学家可能会对土星环何时消失做出估计。故选B。 40．推理判断题。根据最后一段““It’s very, very sad that the rings will disappear in the future,” O’Donoghue said. But “I’m very happy that we’re lucky enough to see it.”(“土星环将在未来消失，这是非常、非常令人难过的。” O’Donoghue说，但“我很高兴我们足够幸运地看到了它。”)”可推断，对于土星环的消失，O’Donoghue觉得很悲伤。故选A。 七选五【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍在盒子里种植土豆的方法，从而说明小型菜园设计的简易实惠。 41．上文“Being able to produce food without a large area is a truly useful skill. And among all the foods, few are better than potatoes.”（能够在小地方种植粮食作物是一个真的很有用的技能。这些粮食作物中，土豆是最好的。）引出在小地方种植粮食作物，土豆是最好的选择。C项“土豆味道好，营养丰富又好种。”则解释为什么土豆是最好的，其中“They”指代上文提到的“potatoes”，符合题意。故选C项。 42．下文“Read on and think about all the great food you could make using this easy guide.”（继续读下去，思考使用这一简易指南可以做出的所有美食。）提到要使用某一指南，说明设空处提到了与指南相关的内容，D项“The DIY square garden design”（自制方形菜园设计）即是下文所指代的指南。所以D项符合题意。故选D项。 43．上文“Before growing potatoes, let’s first build a 4 by 4 wooden box.”（在种土豆之前，我们首先来做一个4×4的木盒子。）提到先做一个种土豆的木盒，B项“确保你用的是食品级木材”则补充说明种土豆的木盒材料得是食品级的，其中B项“woods”与上文的“wooden”前后一致。所以B项符合题意。故选B项。 44．上文“Wait about five months for the potatoes to grow up.”（等五个月左右让土豆长大。）提到等土豆长大。A项“等它们都成熟了，挖出来吃光，享受享受。”则承接上文，指出土豆长大后即可食用。其中，A项“they”指代上文的“potatoes”，“they’ve grown”与上文“the potatoes to grow up”前后一致。所以A项符合题意。故选A项。 45．上文“You see, you don’t need a huge vegetable garden to grow potatoes.”（你看，你根本不必用大菜园去种土豆。）提到种土豆不需要用很大的菜园，G项“充分利用小型菜园设计能够让你得到任何你所想要的”肯定上文的观点，并指出可以充分利用小型菜园设计。其中G项的“A small garden design used wisely”与上文“don’t need a huge vegetable garden”语义一致。所以G项符合题意。故选G项。 语法填空答案与解析　 46．amazingly　考查词形转换。设空在句中做状语修饰全句，应用副词，填amazingly，表“令人吃惊的是”。 47．where　考查定语从句。该句是非限制性定语从句。先行词是Tianjin，表地点，从句中缺少状语，应用关系副词where引导定语从句。 48．getting　考查非谓语动词。fancy doing sth. “喜欢做某事”。 49．himself　考查代词。设空所填代词与主语he是同一人，故填反身代词himself。 50．which　考查定语从句。非限制性定语从句先行词是the oldest street，关系词在从句中做介词along的宾语，应用which引导定语从句。 51．rebuilt　考查动词的时态。设空在句中做谓语，且与主句谓语动词did时态一致，应用一般过去时，故填rebuilt。rebuild(重建)—rebuilt—rebuilt—rebuilding。 52．be sold　考查动词的语态。主语it与sell是被动关系，且设空前是情态动词could，故填be sold。 53．valuable　考查词形转换。设空在句中做表语，表“有价值的”，应用形容词valuable。 55．digging　考查非谓语动词。设空在句中做主语，应用动名词形式，填digging 答案第1页，共2页 第 1 页 共 7 页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 阿勒泰地区二中2024-2025高二第一学期11月月考英语试卷 （考试时间：120分钟；满分150分） 1、 单选（共10小题，每小题1分，，满分10分） 1．It is clearly stated that these regulations ______ everyone in the community, without exception.

Norway is the happiest place on earth beating neighbour Denmark  from the number one position．      Denmark，Iceland，Switzerland and Finland are among the top five, while the Central  Africa Republic came last．Western Europe and North America took up most of the places  at the top of table, with the US and UK at 14th and 19th respectively．      The World Happiness Report mainly depends on asking a simple question of more than 1,000 people every year in more than 150 countries． "Imagine a ladder， with steps numbered from 0 at the bottom to 10 at the top，" the question asks． "The top of the ladder is the best possible life for you and the bottom of the ladder is the worst possible life for you．On which step of the ladder would  you say you personally feel you stand at this time？"      The average （平均的） result is the country's score-from Norway's 7.54 to the central African Republic's  2.69. But the report also tries to explain why one country is happier than another. It looks at reasons including  economic strength, social support, freedom of choice, and generosity．       This year's report also has a text titled "restoring （恢复） American happiness"， which examines  why happiness levels in the United States are falling，despite continually-increasing economic improvement". The United States can and should raise happiness by solving American's social problems—rising inequality  and distrust-rather than focusing mainly on economic growth" the authors said．Jeffrey Sachs，the director of  the Sustainable Development Solutions Network, which published the report， said President Donald Trump's  policies were likely to make things worse． 29.

What's Jeffrey Sachs' attitude toward Donald Trump's policies？ A． Supportive． B． Unfavorable． C． Respectful． D． Uncaring． C Body language is a fascinating aspect of human communication that often speaks louder than words. It is a silent form of expression that conveys our thoughts, emotions, and intentions. I have always been amazed by the way our bodies can communicate without uttering a single word. One vivid memory that comes to mind is a job interview I had a few years ago. As I sat across from the interviewer, I could feel my body tensing up. I crossed my arms and leaned back in my chair, unconsciously acting as a defensive barrier. The interviewer picked up on my closed-off posture and became more reserved in his questioning. It was clear that my body language was sending a message of discomfort and lack of confidence. Reflecting on that experience, I realized the importance of using open and confident body language in professional settings. Subtle(微妙的) changes in posture, facial expressions, and gestures can significantly impact the impression we make on others. From that day forward, I made a conscious effort to project confidence and approach ability (平易近人) through my body language. Another instance where body language played a crucial role was during a family gathering. As we sat around the dinner table, I noticed my younger sister slumping and avoiding eye contact with anyone. Her body language indicated that she was feeling upset or anxious. Without saying a word, I reached out and gently touched her hand, offering a silent gesture of support. She looked at me with gratitude, and we shared a moment of the understanding and connection. Body language is important not only in interpersonal relationships but also in public speaking. I remember watching a TED talk by a renowned speaker who captivated the audience with his confident stance, expressive gestures, and engaging eye contact. His body language promoted the impact of his words, making the talk more memorable and powerful. In conclusion, body language is a powerful tool that can convey emotions, attitudes, and intentions without the need for verbal communication. It is essential to be aware of our own body language and its impact on others. By mastering the art of body language, we can promote our communication skills and create stronger connections with those around us. 33.What is the author's main purpose in sharing the job interview experience? A. To emphasize the significance of facial expressions in communication. B. To describe a personal experience of discomfort and lack of confidence. C. To demonstrate the impact of body language on interpersonal relationships. D. To highlight the importance of non-verbal communication in professional settings. 34.What does the underlined word “captivated” in paragraph 5 most likely mean? A. Criticized. B. Fascinated. C. Distracted. D. Confused.　　　 35. Why is it important to be conscious of our own body language? A. It can promote our public speaking skills and captivate the audience. B. It can help us understand and interpret the body language of each other. C. It can create stronger connections and improve interpersonal relationships. D. It can prevent us from making any non-verbal communication mistakes. 36.What is the structure of the passage? A.　　　　　　B.　　　　　　 C.　 D. D Saturn’s rings are losing material every year. Incoming micrometeorites (微陨石) and the sun’s radiation disturb the small, dusty pieces of ring matter, electrifying them. The particles, suddenly transformed, become adapted to Saturn’s magnetic field lines and start spinning along those invisible paths. When the particles get too close to Saturn’s atmosphere, gravity pulls them in, and they vaporize (蒸发) in the planet’s clouds. Astronomers call this "ring rain", and over time this and other phenomena will weaken the distinctive rings, until nothing is left. “This is us looking at Saturn’s rings at their peak,” said James O’Donoghue, a planetary scientist from Japan. From our perspective, the magnificent sight seems immutable (永恒的), but, on the grand scale of things, it is fleeting. It might help to know that the process is going to take a while: O’Donoghue and other scientists estimate that the rings will disappear in about 300million years. The residents of Earth still have plenty of time to appreciate the beauty of Saturn’s rings. The science community hasn’t come to a consensus about the origin story of Saturn’s rings. But, it is a reminder that the worlds of our solar system, however still they might look from here, are dynamic places, with dramatic histories of their own. “ We think that the universe out there—as opposed to this, where we live, where everything is messy and changing all the time—is this kind of crystal and never-changing thing,” said Jeff Cuzzi, an expert on planetary rings. From afar, Saturn’s rings look so solid, like a wall you could swing your legs over. But they are anything but. The Voyager mission had spotted some evidence of ring stuff leaking into Saturn, but with Cassini, astronomers could really investigate the phenomenon, and make their best estimates yet for how long the rings would stick around. A few hundred million years is a very long time. And yet I have a sudden sharp feeling of sadness about the idea of Saturn losing its rings. So do some astronomers I’ve spoken with. I’ve come to think of this reaction as “space feel”. It has no real bearing on our daily lives, and yet they tug at the heartstrings in a cosmic way. “It’s very, very sad that the rings will disappear in the future,” O’Donoghue said. But “I’m very happy that we’re lucky enough to see it.” 37．What does the second paragraph mainly discuss? A．How Saturn’s rings are formed. B．What Saturn’s rings look like. C．Why Saturn’s rings will disappear. D．How “ring rain” comes into being. 38．What can we learn about Saturn’s rings from the passage? A．The splendor of Saturn’s rings will remain the same. B．Scientists have known for sure about the origin of Saturn’s rings. C．We can’t enjoy the beauty of Saturn’s rings unless we seize the chance. D．We can draw from Saturn’s rings that the planets in solar system are dynamic. 39．What can be inferred from the last but one paragraph? A．The universe outside the earth is never changing. B．Astronomers may calculate how long it will be before the rings disappear. C．The universe outside the earth is opposed to what we think of the earth. D．Saturn’s rings are so solid that they will not disappear. 40．How does O’Donoghue feel about the idea of Saturn losing its rings? A．sorry B．lucky C．happy D．indifferent 第二节 七选五（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满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。选项中有两项多余选项。 Small space gardening is both efficient and convenient.
