The noise started just after 2 p. m. and by the time it stopped, the dozen or so roosters would stretch open their mouths, extend their necks and cry out more than 100 times collectively in this event, which is one of the oldest contests at the Kentucky State Fair. Kentuckians, young and old, bring their roosters to the fair to see who can crow the most in a 15-minute stretch. The winning rooster’s owner takes home a bag of chicken feed. It was about half an hour until the crow-off began when I settled into a seat across from a small stage full of cages. That’s where I met John Ball, the fair’s crowing organizer, who talked excitedly about the whole affair to come. “The only real rules are you have to bring a rooster and that you can’t egg it on during its 15 minutes in the spotlight,” he said. I wondered how a rooster was trained to crow in the afternoon, and fortunately, nine-year-old Ben Miller had some insight to share. When I introduced myself to him, he was already covering his rooster’s eyes gently with his hand. “Now, it thinks it’s dark,” Ben told me. Part of the trick was to make his rooster believe the sun hadn’t risen yet. That way, it would be ready to cry out as soon as it saw the light. As I looked around, I saw that a few other roosters had joined us. One by one they were placed in the cages in front of the audience. The crowing continued for the full 15 minutes. After Ball’s timer went off, Sam Lamb, 15, and his rooster won the contest. It’d crowed 37 times, just a little more than half of the 67 crows from a few years before. 24．What can we say about the contest? A．It centers around six roosters. B．It lasts for a total of half an hour. C．It is organized on a weekend afternoon. D．It is a tradition at the Kentucky State Fair. 25．What did John mean by saying “you can’t egg it on” in paragraph 2? A．You can’t leave it on an egg. B．You can’t motivate it to crow. C．You can’t stop it from crowing. D．You can’t interrupt it with an egg. 26．What was Ben’s trick with his rooster? A．He made it confused about the time. B．He showed it some chicken feed. C．He trained it to react to the timer. D．He left it alone in a dark room. 27．What can be a suitable title for the text? A．The science behind rooster crowing B．The history of the Kentucky State Fair C．An occasion where roosters take center stage D．A day when John Ball shows up in a contest. C Animals can express their needs using a lot of ways. For instance, almost all animals have distinct vocals (声音) that they rely on to either ask for help, scare away any dangerous animals or look for shelter. But cats are special creatures who possess amazing vocalization skills. They are able to have entire conversations with humans using meows and you're able to interpret it. If a pet cat is hungry, it will keep meowing to attract attention and find food. However, when a cat is looking for affection, they tend to produce stretched and soft meows. Meowing starts as soon as a baby cat is brought to life and uses it to get the mother's attention and be fed. Cats have many heightened senses, but their sense of smell is quite impressive. They use their noses to assess their environment and look out for any signs of danger. They will sniff out specific areas before they choose a place to relax. However, another way the cats are able to distinguish between situations is by looking for familiar smells. Your cat will likely smell your face and store the smell in its memory and use it to recognize you in the future. That's why most pet cats are able to tell immediately if their owners were around any other cats, which they don't usually like. Dogs are known for their impressive fetching habit, but cats take this behavior up a notch. Many cats will find random objects outside and bring them to their owners. This is a very old habit that's been present in all kinds of predators (食肉动物). Cats bring gifts for their owners to show they love you. These adorable little hunters are just doing something that it's been in their nature since the beginning of time. So just go along with it! 28．What can be learned about cats' meowing from the first paragraph? A．It's a survival skill. B．It's taught by mother cats. C．It's hard to interpret. D．It's getting louder with age. 29．How does a pet cat assess different situations? A．By listening for sounds. B．By touching familiar objects. C．By checking on smells. D．By communicating with other cats. 英语试题 第 5页（共 8页） 英语试题 第 6页（共 8页） … … … … … … ○ … … … … … … 内 … … … … … … ○ … … … … … … 装 … … … … … … ○ … … … … … … 订 … … … … … … ○ … … … … … … 线 … … … … … … ○ … … … … … … … … … … … … ○ … … … … … … 外 … … … … … … ○ … … … … … … 装 … … … … … … ○ … … … … … … 订 … … … … … … ○ … … … … … … 线 … … … … … … ○ … … … … … … … 姓 名 ： __ __ __ __ __ __ __ _ 班 级 ： __ __ __ __ __ __ __ _ 准 考 证 号 ： __ __ __ __ __ __ __ _ 30．Which best explains the phrase "take. . . up notch" in paragraph 3?

The Saint Lukas is one of five government-sponsored medical trains that travel to remote towns in central and eastern Russia. Each stop lasts an average of two days, and during that time the doctors and nurses on board provide rural populations with basic medical care, X-ray scans and prescriptions. “People started queuing to make an appointment early in the morning,” says Emile Ducke, a German photographer who traveled with the staff of the Saint Lukas for a two-week trip in November through the vast regions of Krasnoyarsk and Khakassia. Russia’s public health care service has been in serious need of modernization. The government has struggled to come up with measures to address the problem, particularly in the poorer, rural areas east of the Volga River, including arranging doctor’s appointments by video chat and expanding financial aid programs to motivate doctors to practice medicine in remote parts of the country like Krasnoyarsk. The annual arrival of the Saint Lukas is another attempt to improve the situation. For 10 months every year, the train stops at about eight stations over two weeks, before returning to the regional capital to refuel and restock (补给 ). Then it starts all over again the next month. Most stations wait about a year between visits. Doctors see up to 150 patients every day. The train’s equipment allows for basic checkups. “I was very impressed by the doctors and their assistants working and living in such little space but still staying focused and very concerned,” says Ducke. “They were the best chance for many rural people to get the treatment they want. ” 32．How is the Saint Lukas different from other trains? A．It runs across countries. B．It reserves seats for the seniors. C．It functions as a hospital. D．It travels along a river. 33．What can we infer from paragraph 3 about Krasnoyarsk? A．It is heavily populated. B．It offers training for doctors. C．It is a modern city. D．It needs medical aid. 34．How long can the Saint Lukas work with one supply? A．About a year. B．About ten months. C．About two months. D．About two weeks. 35．What is Ducke’s attitude toward the Saint Lukas’ services? A．Appreciative. B．Doubtful C．Ambiguous. D．Cautious. 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。 AFew Tips for Self-Acceptance We all want it… to accept and love ourselves. But at times it seems too difficult and too far out of reach. 36 Here’s a handful of ways that will set you in the right direction. ● 37 Do not follow the people who make you feel not-good-enough. Why do you follow them? Are you hoping that eventually you will feel empowered because your life is better than theirs? Know that your life is your own; you are the only you in this world. ●Forgive yourself for mistakes that you have made. We are often ashamed of our shortcomings, our mistakes and our failures. 38 You will make mistakes, time and time again. Rather than getting caught up in how you could have done better, why not offer yourself a compassionate (有同情心) response? “That didn’t go as planned. But, I tried my best.” ●Recognize all of your strengths. Write them down in a journal. Begin to train your brain to look at strength before weakness. List all of your accomplishments and achievements. You have a job, earned your degree, and you got out of bed today. 39 ●Now that you’ve listed your strengths, list your imperfections. Turn the page in your journal. Put into words why you feel unworthy, why you don’t feel good enough. Now, read these words back to yourself. 40 Turn to a page in your journal to your list of strengths and achievements. See how awesome you are? A．Feeling upset again? B．Where do you start? C．Nothing is too small to celebrate. D．Remember, you are only human. E．Set an intention for self-acceptance. F．Stop comparing yourself with others.

Thus, when I was selected to represent the school in the national debate series, I was naturally extremely confident of myself. All the members in my team were good speakers. We had an experienced teacher who trained us well. But I was undoubtedly the most outstanding speaker. In each of the rounds that I debated in, all the judges selected me as the best one. This meant that my confidence was the highest by the time we found ourselves with one week to train before the finals. I had every reason to believe that I would be voted the best speaker for the debate series. I began to be self-important about the whole business and started behaving that way with my team-mates. I would laugh at Eton’s poor debating style. I would complain of Vivian’s slow response. I saw myself as the natural debater who would be disappointed by their bad performance. As the finals drew near, I became more and more dissatisfied with my team. I began missing practices. My teacher was worried. My teammates were panicked. However, they had no choice but to rely on me to win the finals. Even if they would love to remove me from the team they could not because there was no replacement good enough. The day of the finals finally came. I was very excited that I was able to finally show off my debating skills. Everyone was expecting my performance. They knew that I was praised to be the one most likely to win the best speaker for the debate series. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为 150词左右； 2. 请按如下格式作答。 But the reality was not something that I had ever imagined. ___________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ Suddenly,a comforting hand from behind held mine. _________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ 华清中学高二年级上学期第二次月考 速在养图理首存酒区城内作答，每世生色思边有限定长流首后素无汽 英语，答题卡 第四图分写作（共两节，汽会4相分） 第一节〈满分15分》 姓名： How to Become a Scientist 准躯号 期条形科区 转与形见 年节事厚 据酸能，专生先常自已的道害：道专止明风有用南游 选择题（请用2B铅笔填涂） t团▣四 ▣四回 #面四回 M团▣▣ ,由面购 1面0面 3田D▣ 段国面日 第二节（端分25分） 西四 四面四 )西m四 移团面田 4团回 田面国 4团图西 转国国国 &urhe山y店o sowerhing that hud ever imaginet. 5回回四 峰四回四 15工四回 四面a 1四回回四 丝四四四四 HDm四 地四四四m四四四 柱回面时面 打n口知面 对西▣四四 四四四四 移面面四回 功工四四面 据四D四四四四四 4山0▣四 找西面四山 4四四的四 埃四中四血四中过 这四回四四 烯四四口回 及四四四回 棒回四面回回四 相四▣0▣ 转回团四▣ 刻而四▣回 4?面m的四 4回四中 对边四四回 面回口▣ 4线四▣▣▣ 数团口口回 44▣m对四 翰回四四▣4四四如四 Suddenly.a cofurrieg hand from beitnd helll mine. 45面面▣▣ 约回四四更 对四口和回 非选择题（请在各试题的答题区内作答） 第三都分语言运用共两节。离分川分》 第二节《共1修小是：每小想15分，满分15分)》 7 5级 60 61. 62 63 64 65. 请在各楚目月养感风城内传等。想出射色更利过制第比国城门养实七效： 请在清理口的再固区城内作再：司由用色用和的制用爱姓的等无效 美语第【到（共4夏） 写译第2面（共4面） 请在客整川的济感区域内作著，植丽色知形边用定国城的答烹工数 请勿在此区域内作答 请勿在此区域内作答 或者做任何标记 或者做任何标记 有在清题目的养■城内店荐，道由划色题达显定这线为青室无效！ 莉语第3目（共4真） 莉0算4再（天4具） ■null 华清中学高二上学期第二次月考 英语答案 听力 1—5 BABCA 6—10 CACBA 11—15 BCBCA 16—20 BCBAC 阅读 21-23 BBC 24-27 DBAC 28-31 ACDB 32-35 CDDA 七选五 36-40 BFDCA 完形 41-45 CADAB 46-50 ABCDA 51-55 BCBDD 语法填空 56. naturally 57.

As a senior student with a strong will to make contributions to our society, I think we need to do the following things to become a scientist. Firstly, studying hard is the basic method. It is clear that only when we study hard to acquire the knowledge about the science and technology can we fulfill the need of innovation. Besides, interest is the best teacher. Hardly can we imagine a child without passion of exploring will get progress in innovation, so we need to develop our interests when we are young. Last but not least, those who want to become a scientist should cultivate their creative thinking. That means we should think about the reasons why a phenomenon happens and how it works instead of just listening and following the traditions and customs. 【参考范文1】 But the reality was not something that I had ever imagined. As the debate began, I found myself struggling to form coherent arguments. My mind went blank at crucial moments, and I stuttered and fumbled for words. The opposing team, on the other hand, was well-prepared and presented their points flawlessly. I could see the disappointment on the faces of my teammates and the judges. My overconfidence had led me to neglect my preparation, and now I was paying the price. I realized too late that I had underestimated my opponents and overestimated my own abilities. Suddenly, a comforting hand from behind held mine. It was Vivian. She gave me an encouraging smile and whispered, “We’re in this together. Let’s do our best.” Her words and gesture filled me with a newfound determination. I took a deep breath and focused on the debate. With the support of my teammates, I slowly regained my composure and started to contribute more effectively. Although we didn't win the finals, I learned a valuable lesson about humility and teamwork. From that day on, I became a better team player and a more respectful debater. 【参考范文2】 But the reality was not something that I had ever imagined. As soon as I stood up to speak, my mind went blank. I stuttered and struggled to find the right words. The opposing team, on the other hand, was eloquent and well-prepared. I could see the disappointment on the faces of my teammates and the judges. My overconfidence had backfired, and I realized too late that I had taken my team for granted. I felt a sinking feeling in my stomach as I realized I might have cost us the chance to win. Suddenly, a comforting hand from behind held mine. It was Vivian. She gave me a reassuring smile and said, “We’re a team. Let’s do this together.” Her words and gesture gave me a newfound strength. I took a deep breath and tried to calm down. With Vivian’s support, I managed to pull myself together and start contributing to the debate. Although we didn’t win the finals, I learned a valuable lesson about humility and teamwork. From that day on, I became a better team player and a more respectful person. 听力材料原文 Text 1 M: Susan, does everyone in your family have blonde hair?

Text 10 M: In the spring of 2021, 12 sailing teams from around the world competed in the first-ever Ocean Race Europe. The race set off from Lorient, France, on May 29, 2021. Teams of 6 to 10 people spent 22 days sailing the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea to the finish line, in Genoa, Italy. That’s where the race ended, on June 19, 2021. Two classes of speedy sailboats raced in the event: the IMOCA and the VO65. Offshore Team Germany won the IMOCA class race. And Portugal’s Mirpuri Foundation Racing Team won the VO65 class. The Ocean Race Europe presented plenty of challenges. Teams were on their boats for three straight weeks. When you were on board, all you do was race, eat, and sleep. There was no Internet connection and there were no movies. There wasn’t even a fridge or a freezer inside the boat. The Ocean Race Europe has a larger purpose. During the race, the boats collected scientific data from the salty waters. The data is shared with scientists. It provides insight about how the ocean is affected by climate change. Scientists use the data to further understand and advocate the world’s changing environment and seas. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$■■■ 华清中学高二年级上学期第二次月考 情在韩师用裤因理≤城内什养，划出国色电南动座限定区城物将多无装 英语：答题卡 宽四部分写作（共两节，清分40分） 题一节（裤分15分） 者： How to Become a Scientist 准考证号 财条形风 考本州诗有的料名、准号证得间项系地 选择题（请用2B铅笔填涂】 1 abc 4 abo 1 abc 16 abc ■ abe 9的 杜te 1开8e 第二节〔满分15分) abc 8:b0 B3 abc ix abc ie abe Bnt the reaisy was not sow南erhw限从Ihad ever imaginedt abc lo abc 15 abo 10 abo 21 abed m abod abodEFG 2”c对 2”8cd 卫a60d 37ad日FG 2 abed a abod 是bcd 到0dFG oted 4 abod abedEFG abod abodEFG 41 abed “abcd si abod 4柱abd 4打bc abod 林abcd 4格abcd gabod 44ab时 4楼8b可 sabod 45 abod se abed 结北c对 非选择题（请在各试题的客题区内作答】 Siddeniy a cowfortg hond frow belsni held mune 第三享分销言超用《北片节，满分3和分】 第节《共用小爆：样小增18分，滴分18分) 7 58 6码 6的 W在X感目的裤国城内作作，暴色无石边帝玩K城的挥溪无造： 掉在：青题耳n养圈区域内作的。里色飞这更K城的养室比效 第T T■ 裤在春题目的特城内府等，短显色区海隆飞城的养乳无绘 请勿在此区域内作答 请勿在此区域内作答 或者做任何标记 或者做任何标记 裤位各慧目销附框南与成点浮色影形限山城方答案上箱1 美通第4页（共4风）………………○………………外………………○………………装………………○………………订………………○………………线………………○……………… ………………○………………内………………○………………装………………○………………订………………○………………线………………○……………… 此卷只装订不密封 ………………○………………内………………○………………装………………○………………订………………○………………线………………○……………… ………………○………………外………………○………………装………………○………………订………………○………………线………………○……………… … 姓名：_______________ 班级：_______________ 准考证号：_______________ 华清中学高二年级上学期第二次月考英语试题 （考试时间：120分钟 试卷满分：150分） 命题人：高二英语组 校对人：白玫 注意事项： 1. 答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2. 回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上，写在本试卷上无效。 3. 考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分 30 分） 做题时，请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。 1.

The noise started just after 2 p. m. and by the time it stopped, the dozen or so roosters would stretch open their mouths, extend their necks and cry out more than 100 times collectively in this event, which is one of the oldest contests at the Kentucky State Fair. Kentuckians, young and old, bring their roosters to the fair to see who can crow the most in a 15-minute stretch. The winning rooster’s owner takes home a bag of chicken feed. It was about half an hour until the crow-off began when I settled into a seat across from a small stage full of cages. That’s where I met John Ball, the fair’s crowing organizer, who talked excitedly about the whole affair to come. “The only real rules are you have to bring a rooster and that you can’t egg it on during its 15 minutes in the spotlight,” he said. I wondered how a rooster was trained to crow in the afternoon, and fortunately, nine-year-old Ben Miller had some insight to share. When I introduced myself to him, he was already covering his rooster’s eyes gently with his hand. “Now, it thinks it’s dark,” Ben told me. Part of the trick was to make his rooster believe the sun hadn’t risen yet. That way, it would be ready to cry out as soon as it saw the light. As I looked around, I saw that a few other roosters had joined us. One by one they were placed in the cages in front of the audience. The crowing continued for the full 15 minutes. After Ball’s timer went off, Sam Lamb, 15, and his rooster won the contest. It’d crowed 37 times, just a little more than half of the 67 crows from a few years before. 24．What can we say about the contest? A．It centers around six roosters. B．It lasts for a total of half an hour. C．It is organized on a weekend afternoon. D．It is a tradition at the Kentucky State Fair. 25．What did John mean by saying “you can’t egg it on” in paragraph 2? A．You can’t leave it on an egg. B．You can’t motivate it to crow. C．You can’t stop it from crowing. D．You can’t interrupt it with an egg. 26．What was Ben’s trick with his rooster? A．He made it confused about the time. B．He showed it some chicken feed. C．He trained it to react to the timer. D．He left it alone in a dark room. 27．What can be a suitable title for the text? A．The science behind rooster crowing B．The history of the Kentucky State Fair C．An occasion where roosters take center stage D．A day when John Ball shows up in a contest. C Animals can express their needs using a lot of ways. For instance, almost all animals have distinct vocals (声音) that they rely on to either ask for help,  scare away any dangerous animals or look for shelter. But cats are special creatures who possess amazing vocalization skills. They are able to have entire conversations with humans using meows and you're able to interpret it. If a pet cat is hungry, it will keep meowing to attract attention and find food. However, when a cat is looking for affection, they tend to produce stretched and soft meows. Meowing starts as soon as a baby cat is brought to life and uses it to get the mother's attention and be fed. Cats have many heightened senses, but their sense of smell is quite impressive. They use their noses to assess their environment and look out for any signs of danger. They will sniff out specific areas before they choose a place to relax. However, another way the cats are able to distinguish between situations is by looking for familiar smells. Your cat will likely smell your face and store the smell in its memory and use it to recognize you in the future. That's why most pet cats are able to tell immediately if their owners were around any other cats, which they don't usually like. Dogs are known for their impressive fetching habit, but cats take this behavior up a notch. Many cats will find random objects outside and bring them to their owners. This is a very old habit that's been present in all kinds of predators (食肉动物). Cats bring gifts for their owners to show they love you. These adorable little hunters are just doing something that it's been in their nature since the beginning of time. So just go along with it! 28．What can be learned about cats' meowing from the first paragraph? A．It's a survival skill. B．It's taught by mother cats. C．It's hard to interpret. D．It's getting louder with age. 29．How does a pet cat assess different situations? A．By listening for sounds. B．By touching familiar objects. C．By checking on smells. D．By communicating with other cats. 30．Which best explains the phrase "take. . . up notch" in paragraph 3? A．Perform appropriately. B．Move faster. C．Act strangely. D．Do better. 31．What is a suitable title for the text? A．Tips on Finding a Smart Cat B．Understanding Your Cat's Behavior C．Have Fun with Your Cat D．How to Keep Your Cat Healthy D The Saint Lukas train doesn’t accept passengers — it accepts only the sick. The Saint Lukas is one of five government-sponsored medical trains that travel to remote towns in central and eastern Russia. Each stop lasts an average of two days, and during that time the doctors and nurses on board provide rural populations with basic medical care, X-ray scans and prescriptions. “People started queuing to make an appointment early in the morning,” says Emile Ducke, a German photographer who traveled with the staff of the Saint Lukas for a two-week trip in November through the vast regions of Krasnoyarsk and Khakassia. Russia’s public health care service has been in serious need of modernization. The government has struggled to come up with measures to address the problem, particularly in the poorer, rural areas east of the Volga River, including arranging doctor’s appointments by video chat and expanding financial aid programs to motivate doctors to practice medicine in remote parts of the country like Krasnoyarsk. The annual arrival of the Saint Lukas is another attempt to improve the situation. For 10 months every year, the train stops at about eight stations over two weeks, before returning to the regional capital to refuel and restock (补给). Then it starts all over again the next month. Most stations wait about a year between visits. Doctors see up to 150 patients every day. The train’s equipment allows for basic checkups. “I was very impressed by the doctors and their assistants working and living in such little space but still staying focused and very concerned,” says Ducke. “They were the best chance for many rural people to get the treatment they want. ” 32．How is the Saint Lukas different from other trains? A．It runs across countries. B．It reserves seats for the seniors. C．It functions as a hospital. D．It travels along a river. 33．What can we infer from paragraph 3 about Krasnoyarsk? A．It is heavily populated. B．It offers training for doctors. C．It is a modern city. D．It needs medical aid. 34．How long can the Saint Lukas work with one supply? A．About a year. B．About ten months. C．About two months. D．About two weeks. 35．What is Ducke’s attitude toward the Saint Lukas’ services? A．Appreciative. B．Doubtful C．Ambiguous. D．Cautious. 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。 A Few Tips for Self-Acceptance We all want it… to accept and love ourselves. But at times it seems too difficult and too far out of reach. 36 Here’s a handful of ways that will set you in the right direction. ● 37 Do not follow the people who make you feel not-good-enough. Why do you follow them? Are you hoping that eventually you will feel empowered because your life is better than theirs? Know that your life is your own; you are the only you in this world. ●Forgive yourself for mistakes that you have made. We are often ashamed of our shortcomings, our mistakes and our failures. 38 You will make mistakes, time and time again. Rather than getting caught up in how you could have done better, why not offer yourself a compassionate (有同情心) response? “That didn’t go as planned. But, I tried my best.” ●Recognize all of your strengths. Write them down in a journal. Begin to train your brain to look at strength before weakness. List all of your accomplishments and achievements. You have a job, earned your degree, and you got out of bed today. 39 ●Now that you’ve listed your strengths, list your imperfections. Turn the page in your journal. Put into words why you feel unworthy, why you don’t feel good enough. Now, read these words back to yourself. 40 Turn to a page in your journal to your list of strengths and achievements. See how awesome you are? A．Feeling upset again? B．Where do you start?

Thus, when I was selected to represent the school in the national debate series, I was naturally extremely confident of myself. All the members in my team were good speakers. We had an experienced teacher who trained us well. But I was undoubtedly the most outstanding speaker. In each of the rounds that I debated in, all the judges selected me as the best one. This meant that my confidence was the highest by the time we found ourselves with one week to train before the finals. I had every reason to believe that I would be voted the best speaker for the debate series. I began to be self-important about the whole business and started behaving that way with my team-mates. I would laugh at Eton’s poor debating style. I would complain of Vivian’s slow response. I saw myself as the natural debater who would be disappointed by their bad performance. As the finals drew near, I became more and more dissatisfied with my team. I began missing practices. My teacher was worried. My teammates were panicked. However, they had no choice but to rely on me to win the finals. Even if they would love to remove me from the team they could not because there was no replacement good enough. The day of the finals finally came. I was very excited that I was able to finally show off my debating skills. Everyone was expecting my performance. They knew that I was praised to be the one most likely to win the best speaker for the debate series. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150词左右； 2. 请按如下格式作答。 But the reality was not something that I had ever imagined. ___________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ Suddenly,a comforting hand from behind held mine. _________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ 英语试题 第7页（共12页） 英语试题 第8页（共12页） 英语试题 第9页（共12页） 英语试题 第10页（共12页） 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$华清中学高二上学期第二次月考 英语答案 听力 1—5 BABCA 6—10 CACBA 11—15 BCBCA 16—20 BCBAC 阅读 21-23 BBC 24-27 DBAC 28-31 ACDB 32-35 CDDA 七选五 36-40 BFDCA 完形 41-45 CADAB 46-50 ABCDA 51-55 BCBDD 语法填空 56. naturally 57.

As a senior student with a strong will to make contributions to our society, I think we need to do the following things to become a scientist. Firstly, studying hard is the basic method. It is clear that only when we study hard to acquire the knowledge about the science and technology can we fulfill the need of innovation. Besides, interest is the best teacher. Hardly can we imagine a child without passion of exploring will get progress in innovation, so we need to develop our interests when we are young. Last but not least, those who want to become a scientist should cultivate their creative thinking. That means we should think about the reasons why a phenomenon happens and how it works instead of just listening and following the traditions and customs. 【参考范文 1】 But the reality was not something that I had ever imagined. As the debate began, I found myself struggling to form coherent arguments. My mind went blank at crucial moments, and I stuttered and fumbled for words. The opposing team, on the other hand, was well-prepared and presented their points flawlessly. I could see the disappointment on the faces of my teammates and the judges. My overconfidence had led me to neglect my preparation, and now I was paying the price. I realized too late that I had underestimated my opponents and overestimated my own abilities. Suddenly, a comforting hand from behind held mine. It was Vivian. She gave me an encouraging smile and whispered, “We’re in this together. Let’s do our best.” Her words and gesture filled me with a newfound determination. I took a deep breath and focused on the debate. With the support of my teammates, I slowly regained my composure and started to contribute more effectively. Although we didn't win the finals, I learned a valuable lesson about humility and teamwork.

My overconfidence had backfired, and I realized too late that I had taken my team for granted. I felt a sinking feeling in my stomach as I realized I might have cost us the chance to win. Suddenly, a comforting hand from behind held mine. It was Vivian. She gave me a reassuring smile and said, “We’re a team. Let’s do this together.” Her words and gesture gave me a newfound strength.

Although we didn’t win the finals, I learned a valuable lesson about humility and teamwork. From that day on, I became a better team player and a more respectful person. 听力材料原文 Text 1 M: Susan, does everyone in your family have blonde hair?

Text 10 M: In the spring of 2021, 12 sailing teams from around the world competed in the first-ever Ocean Race Europe. The race set off from Lorient, France, on May 29, 2021. Teams of 6 to 10 people spent 22 days sailing the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea to the finish line, in Genoa, Italy. That’s where the race ended, on June 19, 2021. Two classes of speedy sailboats raced in the event: the IMOCA and the VO65. Offshore Team Germany won the IMOCA class race. And Portugal’s Mirpuri Foundation Racing Team won the VO65 class. The Ocean Race Europe presented plenty of challenges. Teams were on their boats for three straight weeks. When you were on board, all you do was race, eat, and sleep. There was no Internet connection and there were no movies. There wasn’t even a fridge or a freezer inside the boat. The Ocean Race Europe has a larger purpose. During the race, the boats collected scientific data from the salty waters. The data is shared with scientists. It provides insight about how the ocean is affected by climate change. Scientists use the data to further understand and advocate the world’s changing environment and seas.
