B Elon Musk is a businessman, inventor and engineer and is undoubtedly, one of the leading figures in the world of technology. Musk was born in Pretoria, South Africa in 1971. At the age of 12, he taught himself how to programme computers. He was accepted to university in the United States where he completed a degree in Arts. After this, he started a PhD in physics at Stanford University. However, he dropped out to pursue his interest in startups and technology. He founded an online payment site that eventually would become a global company. In 2001 Musk began meeting with scientists to discuss the possibility of human habitation on Mars. Using his own fortune, Musk founded his company that designs rockets and space vehicles. It was the first privately owned company to do so. In 2012, the rockets made by the company docked with the International Space Station. Musk also received contracts from NASA, thus making history by proving that the concept of commercial space exploration was both possible and affordable. Another one of Musk’s innovations is the electric car. Musk started a company and became the CEO in 2008. The company is named after Nicolai Tesla, the Serbian-American inventor and physicist, who is best known for designing the AC electrical system. The cars made by Musk’s company are designed to end the dependence on fossil fuels and so reduce the negative effects of climate change and air pollution from cars. Why does Musk devote himself to such innovations? By creating opportunities to explore new planets, Musk believes that in the event of a major catastrophe on Earth, there would be the potential for the human race to continue elsewhere. On Earth, Musk’s inventions are designed to find renewable, environment-friendly solutions to meet the challenge of an ever-growing global population. 24. What can we learn about Musk? A. He learnt computer programmes from his teacher at 12. B. He graduated from Stanford University with a degree in physics. C. He received government support to found the space company. D. He named his company after a well-known scientist. 25. According to the author, what event was historic in Musk’s career? A. Getting achievements in arts. B. Founding an online payment site. C. Receiving contracts from NASA. D. Becoming CEO of two companies. 26. What is Musk’s motivation for his innovations? A. To expand human reach and protect the earth. B. To stimulate people’s curiosity about space. C. To realize his dream of becoming a leading figure. D. To make more profit and set up more companies. 27. Which of the following best describes Musk? A. Gifted and humorous. B. Curious and honest. C. Generous and considerate. D. Creative and responsible. C Kids and science seem to be made for each other! The basic science is a combination of thought and experiment called the scientific method. It’s where you start with an idea, create a way to prove or disprove your idea, and show what you learned based on facts. Learning to follow this process helps you think logically (逻辑地) and carefully. These important thinking skills can be used in many areas of study. To give a child practice with these thinking skills is like giving vitamins to a developing mind. One of the greatest things we can teach our children is to love learning. Learning science is a great way to do so. Children are easy to be interested in science. Because much of science is hands-on, it attracts most children. Nothing makes a child sit up and take notice like the “WOW!” of a great science showing. Science opens doors to many subjects at school. Building love for science can be helpful in other areas of study. For example, one cannot love science for very long without becoming good at its language-math! So science encourages children to study math. An interest in science is an interest in how things were once understood compared to how they are understood now. Thus studying science lends itself easily to studying history. And after you do an experiment, you need to write a lab report. Therefore, writing becomes an important part of science. Science is the basic thing for much of our life. The science of farming shows how our food is produced; biomedical science keeps us healthy; even our beds these days are designed according to scientific facts. We almost eat, sleep and breathe with the help of science! When we prepare the next generation of voters, creators and policy makers, it is important to make sure they are not only comfortable but also good at science. 28．What is the text mainly about? A．How kids can make use of science. B．Why science is important. C．Why kids should learn science. D．What kids should learn at school. 29．According to Paragraph 2, what does learning the scientific method mean to kids? A．Learning to do experiments. B．Learning many areas of study. C．Helping them develop thinking skills. D．Refusing any ideas that are not logical. 30．If a child works hard at science at school, he/she _______________. A．usually has no time for other subjects. B．is likely to learn many other subjects well. C．is usually bad at such subjects like history. D．usually loses interest in other activities. 31．Which of the following statements would the author agree with? A．Science is too difficult for children. B．Children usually consider science boring. C．Science could make children love learning. D．Children who can't think carefully shouldn’t learn science. D Diet containing lots of salt can contribute to increased levels of stress, a new study shows. Scientists found in studies of mice that a high-salt diet increased the levels of a stress hormone by 75 per cent. Experts hope the findings will encourage a review of public health policy around salt consumption, aiming at manufacturers reducing the amount of salt in processed food. The recommended salt intake for adults is less than six grams a day but most people regularly eat about nine grams. This can contribute to higher blood pressure, which increases the risks of heart attacks, strokes and dementia. Although effects on the heart and circulatory(循环) system have been ascertained, little was known about the impact of a high-salt diet on a person’s behaviour. To study this, experts from the University of Edinburgh used mice, who ordinarily have a low-salt diet, and gave them high-salt food to reflect the typical intake of humans. They found that not only did resting stress hormone levels increase, but the mice’s hormone response to environmental stress was double that of mice that had a normal diet. Salt intake increased the activity of genes that produce the proteins in the brain which control how the body responds to stress. Experts say further studies are already underway to understand if a high-salt intake leads to other behavioural changes such as anxiety and aggression. Matthew Bailey, professor of Renal Physiology at the University of Edinburgh’s Centre for Cardiovascular Science, said: “We are what we eat and understanding how high-salt food changes our mental health is an important step to improving wellbeing. We know that eating too much salt damages our heart, blood vessels(血管) and kidneys. This study now tells us that high salt in our food also changes the way our brain handles stress.” 32. What are the findings expected to bring about eventually? A. Manufacturers adding less salt to processed food. B. People debating the policy on public health. C. Decreased levels of stress hormones. D. Reduced amount of processed food. 33. What does the underlined word “ascertained” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Ignored. B. Restored. C. Reduced. D. Confirmed. 34. Which of the following may be a subject of further research? A. What policy on salt should be. B. How a high-salt intake affects blood pressure. C. How much salt intake is appropriate. D. Whether a high-salt intake causes anxiety. 35. What may be a suitable little for the text? A. Most people regularly take in too much salt. B. Mental health is important to improving well being. C. Diet containing much salt increases levels of stress. D. Less than six grams of salt a day is recommended. 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。 Choosing the right college can be challenging, but knowing where to start can be even more challenging. 36 Here are the tips I wish someone would have told me before I chose which college to attend. First things first, you need to decide what you want to major in. This will be the most important part of the process, because it will determine what career you will choose after college. This decision is not the end, you can definitely change majors once you’re in college. 37 Next, it’s time to decide if you want to stay close to your hometown or go away for college. Both options have their own pros and cons. These pros and cons can vary from money and how much financial aid the college will provide you, job success after graduation, opportunities the college offers such as study abroad or internships, to how many people attend the college. 38 39 Would you mind living in the area surrounding the campus? Do they have a good programme for your major? Does the college have big or small classes? Which would you prefer? How is the college ranked? Does ranking matter to you? Is the campus big or small? Which would you prefer? Does the school feel like a good personal fit? Make sure to also do research on alumni (校友), current students and professors who are present on the different campuses of the colleges you are inquiring about. It’s always better to do great research than do nothing at all and pick a college you know nothing about and regret your decision in the end. And if this happens, you’ll end up transferring (转学) to another college, where you’ll definitely do your research not to have the same thing happen again. 40 Now that you have all this newfound knowledge on how to choose a college, I hope you are ready to start the process! Good luck! A. No worries, I am here to help you through the process. B. You can register for its online college fair at campuslife.com. C. Other things to consider when choosing a college are as follows. D. There’s no excuse for not visiting the colleges in your local area. E. But note that changing majors can affect how long it will take you to graduate. F. These are all things to take into consideration when choosing a college. G. So you might as well get all the research done now, and save yourself both time and money. 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分 30 分) 第一节 (共 15小题;每小题 1分，满分 15 分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I looked at my photos and began to recall my Life.

Whether you’re aware ____59____ it or not, when you interact with others, you’re continuously giving and receiving wordless signals. All of your nonverbal ____60____ (behavior) — the gestures you make, your tone of voice and how much eye contact you make — send strong messages. They can build trust and draw others towards you, or they can confuse ____61____ you’re trying to express. These messages don’t stop when you stop speaking, either. Even when you’re silent, you’re still communicating nonverbally. In some instances, what comes out of your mouth and what you communicate through your body language may be two ____62____ (total) different things. If you say one thing, but your body language says something else, your listener will likely feel that you’re being dishonest. When faced with such ____63____ (mix) signals, the listeners have to choose whether to believe your verbal or nonverbal messages. Since body language is a natural language that ____64____ (show) your true feelings and intentions, they’ll likely choose the nonverbal messages. However, by improving how you understand and use nonverbal communication, you can express what you really mean, connect better with others, and build stronger, more _____65_____ (reward) relationships. 第四部分 写作(共两节，满分 40分) 第一节(满分 15 分) 上周五你校开展了心理健康知识讲座活动，请你为校英文报“Students’ campus life”专栏写一篇 报道，内容包括：1. 活动目的； 2、活动内容； 3. 你的看法。 注意：1. 写作词数应为 80个左右；2. 可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ 第二节(满分 25 分) 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 Once upon a time, in a small town called Meadowville, there was a group of students who attended Meadowville Elementary School. These students were not just classmates; they were also good friends who believed in helping each other and growing together. One day, a new student named Lily joined their class. Lily was very shy and found it difficult to make friends. She spent most of her time alone, sitting quietly in the corner of the classroom and reading books during breaks. The other students noticed her and felt a sense of empathy (共情) . They knew that they had to do something to help Lily come out of her shell. Emma, one of the most popular girls in the class, went to Lily one day with a warm smile. She asked Lily if she would like to join their lunchtime club. The club was formed by the students who loved reading and discussing books. Lily hesitated for a moment but soon nodded shyly. As days went by, Lily started opening up more. The club became a place where she could express herself freely. The other students were happy to see Lily’s change. They took turns bringing their favorite books to share with Lily, making sure she felt included. One weekend, the students decided to have a picnic at the local park. They invited Lily to join them. Despite her nervousness, Lily agreed and arrived with a packed lunch and her favorite book. As they all sat together, sharing stories, laughter filled the air. Lily realized that she had found a group of friends who truly cared about her. They all had a great time. The next week, their teacher announced that each student was to prepare a book presentation. Emma thought maybe that would be a great opportunity for Lily, and everyone else in the club, except Lily, had the same thought. 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。 However, Lily was nervous and hesitated. ___________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ Finally, the big day arrived and Lily walked onto the stage. _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ 横峰中学2024-2025学年第一学期高二年级第二次月考英语试卷 英语·答题卡 姓 名： 缺考 准考证号： 标记 条码粘贴处 口 注意事项 1,答题前，考生先将白己的姓名、准考证号码填写清楚，并认真检查监考员所粘凯贴的条形码。 2.选择题必须使用2B铅笔填涂；非选择题必须用0.5m黑色字迹的签字笔填写，字体工整。 3. 请按题号顺序在各题的答题区内作答，超出答题区域范围的答案无效，在草纸、试卷上作答无效。 4。保持卡面清洁，不要折叠、不要弄破、弄皱，不准使用涂改液、刮纸刀。 5.正确填涂■ 选择题（请用2B铅笔填涂） 1 IAJIB]ICI 6 IAJIB]IC] [A]IB]IC] 16 [AJIB][C] 2 [AJ[BJICI 7【AJIBJIC] 12 [AJIB]IC] 17 [AJ[BIIC] 3 [A]IBIICI 8 [A][BI[C] 13 [AJ][B]IC] 18 [A][B][C] 4 [AJ[B]ICI 9 [AJIBJIC] 14 [AJ[B][C] 19 IAJ[B][C] 5 IAJIB]IC] 10 [AJIB]IC] 15 IA]IB]IC] 20 [AJIB]IC] 21 IAJ[B][CIID] 26 IAIIBIICIID] 31 IA][B]ICIID] 36 [AJIBIICIID]IEJIF]IG] 22 IAlIBIICIIDI 27 IAJIB]ICIID] 32 IAJIB]ICIID] 37 IAJIBIICJIDJIEJIFJIGI 23 [A]IBJ[CIID] 28 [A][BIICIID] 33 [A][B][CI[D] 38 [AJ[BI[CIID]IEJIF][GI 24 IA][B]ICI[D] 29 [AI[BI[CI[D] 34 [AJ[BI[CI[D] 39 [AJIBI[CI[D][EJIFJIGI 25 IAJIBJIC]ID] 30 [AJIB]IC]ID] 35 [AJIB]ICI[D] 4IAJIBIICJIDJIEJIFJIGI 41 [A][BI[CIID] 46 [AI[B]IC][D] 51 [AJIBJICI[D] IAJIB]ICIID] 47【AI[B]ICJID] 2 IAJIBJICI[DI 3 [AJIBJICIID] 48 [AJIB]ICIID] 5 IAJIBJIC]ID] 4 IAJIBJICIID] 49【AJIBJICIID] 54 [AJIBJ[CIID] 45【A1 IBIIC]IDI 50 [AJB]ICHD] 55 IAJIB]ICJID] 非选择题（请在各试题的答题区内作答） 第三部分语言知识运用 第二节（共10小题：每小题1.5分，满分15分） 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 第四部分写作（共两节，满分40分） 第节（满分15分） 第二节（满分25分） However,Lily was nervous and hesitated.

Text 2 M: What do we need to buy today? W: We need some carrots, some apples, a fish, some pork, and some soft drinks. I’ve written down all that we need on this list. M: Good. Now let’s set off.

Text 4 M: You want to see me, Mrs. Smith? W: Yes. I find out that you are always late for work. Besides, you have a habit of sleeping during working hours. I’m afraid I have to ask you to leave. M: Oh, no. Please give me one more chance. I promise I will not let you down any more. Text 5 W: I haven’t seen Anna in the office for a few days. Is she ill? M: No. Don’t you know that she is going to leave? W: But why? To look after her kids at home? M: Of course not. She plans to open her own store in the city center. Text 6 W: The department store has reduced all its prices by forty percent during the sale. Don’t you think it’s time to replace our sofa? It’s so old! M: Do you think so? What we really need is a proper lamp on the table next to the sofa. It’s important to sit and read there at the moment. W: Well, we can move one of the lamps down from the bedroom. The blue one would look good on that table. M: You’re right. Okay, let’s go and look for something more comfortable to sit on now. Text 7 W: David, did you go to the soccer game last night?

M: I don’t know. I like history and French. I got an A in French! W: Well, you need to make the right decision, even though your parents might not like it. Maybe you should have a talk with them.

M: Well, first, it’s a corner apartment. That means we don’t share as many walls with the neighbors as other apartments. W: Good. I don’t want them to tell me to turn down my music. M: Besides, it does have some furniture, including two beds, a sofa, a TV set and something else. What we need to buy is a fridge. Oh, we need an air conditioner, too. W: Sounds not bad. M: It’s also on the top floor, so we don’t have to listen to anyone walk above us. W: OK. You’ve almost convinced me. Are there any disadvantages? M: Well, the bad thing is that it’s not big enough. It is a house with only two bedrooms, a bathroom and a kitchen. W: I don’t care. Is it expensive? M: No, it’s actually within our price range. W: Well, you should have told me that first! I’m ready to stop the search now. M: Me too. Text 10 W: Hello, everyone! What are you going to do during your vacation? I want to tell you about my travel plan.

I recommend you to visit Royal Botanic Gardens when you go to Melbourne. Then I am going to stay in Sydney for a few days. I have got a ticket to see a great music show at the Sydney Opera House.

On Earth, Musk’s inventions are designed to find renewable, environment-friendly solutions to meet the challenge of an ever-growing global population.(通过创造探索新行星的机会，Musk认为，如果地球上发生重大灾难，人类将有可能在其他地方继续生存。在地球上，Musk的发明旨在寻找可再生、环保的解决方案，以应对全球人口不断增长的挑战。)”可知，Musk创新的动机是扩大人类所能及的范围，保护地球。故选A。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段的“He founded an online payment site that eventually would become a global company.(他创立了一个在线支付网站，最终成为一家全球性公司。)”和第三段的“Another one of Musk’s innovations is the electric car.(Musk的另一项创新是电动汽车。)”可知，Musk是有创造力的；根据最后一段的“On Earth, Musk’s inventions are designed to find renewable, environment-friendly solutions to meet the challenge of an ever-growing global population.(在地球上，马斯克的发明旨在寻找可再生、环保的解决方案，以应对全球人口不断增长的挑战。)”可知，他保护地球，是负责任的，因此用creative(有创造力的)和responsible(负责的)来描述Musk。故选D。 C 28．C   29．C   30．B 31.C 【分析】这是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述了小孩需要学习科学，因为学习科学对他们而言有很多好处。 28．主旨大意题。文章结构为总分总结构，首段“Kids and science seem to be made for each other!( 孩子和科学似乎是天生的一对!)”为文章主题句，因此可知，本文主要从几个方面讲述了小孩为什么需要学习科学。选项C“Why kids should learn science.”贴合主旨要义。故选C项。 29．细节理解题。根据文章第二段内容“Learning to follow this process helps you think logically and carefully. These important thinking skills can be used in many areas of study. To give a child practice with these thinking skills is like giving vitamins to a developing mind.(学习遵循这个过程可以帮助你更有逻辑、更仔细地思考。这些重要的思维技能可以在许多领域的学习中使用。让孩子练习这些思考技能就像给发育中的大脑补充维生素一样。)”可知，学习科学可以帮助孩子培养好的思维方式。故选C项。 30．细节理解题。根据文章第四段内容“So science encourages children to study math. An interest in science is an interest in how things were once understood compared to how they are understood now. Thus studying science lends itself easily to studying history. And after you do an experiment, you need to write a lab report. Therefore, writing becomes an important part of science.(所以科学鼓励孩子学习数学。对科学的兴趣是对过去如何理解事物与现在如何理解事物的兴趣。因此，研究科学对于研究历史是很容易的。在你做了实验之后，你需要写一份实验报告。因此，写作成为科学的重要组成部分。)”可知，学好科学的话，学好其他科目的可能性也会增大。故选B项。 31．细节理解题。根据文章第三段内容“One of the greatest things we can teach our children is to love learning.

(专家们希望这一发现将鼓励对食盐消费的公共卫生政策进行审查，目的是让制造商减少加工食品中的盐含量。)”可知，该研究结果最终目的是想让食品加工制造商减少食品里面盐的含量。故选A。 【33题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段“While effects on the heart and circulatory(循环) system have been ascertained, little was known about the impact of a high-salt diet on a person’s behaviour. (虽然高盐饮食对心脏和循环系统的影响已经ascertained，但人们对高盐饮食会对人的行为产生什么影响知之甚少。)”可知， while前后是对比关系，尽管高盐饮食对心脏和循环系统的影响已经被证实，但是人们对高盐饮食会的不良后果却知道很少。所以ascertained的意思应该是“被证实”，和选项D意思一致。故选D。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Experts say further studies are already underway to understand if a high-salt intake leads to other behavioural changes such as anxiety and aggression. (专家表示，进一步研究已经在进行中，以了解高盐摄入是否会导致焦虑和攻击等其他行为变化。)”可知，高盐摄入是否会引起焦虑将是未来研究的课题之一。故选D。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Diet containing lots of salt can contribute to increased levels of stress, a new study shows.
