Museum on the Mound Located in the heart of Edinburgh’s city center, this appealing museum takes a fresh look at money — and much, much more.

B “Tick, tick, pzzzz…” the song of the Florida grasshopper sparrow is unusual and surprisingly insect-like. But it almost fell silent forever. In 2012, Joel Sartore, National Geographic Explorer and Photo Ark founder, received a call from the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service: The songbird, an important ecological link in Florida’s dry grasslands, was struggling on extinction. With only a few dozen males in sight, it was among North America’s most endangered bird species. Funded by the National Geographic Society, Sartore flew to Florida to photograph the bird and work with conservationists to raise awareness of the species’ situation. The story went viral on social media, helping boost government funding for a protecting program. Thanks to these steps, there are now as many as 180 adult birds in the wild, and researchers are working hard to bring the species back from the brink of extinction. This journey reveals the Society’s mission to illuminate and protect the wonder of the world. Over the past 136 years, it has developed a unique explorer-led model, combining science, exploration, education and storytelling to drive impact. The society also supports explorers in more than 140 countries, including Sartore and others whose work relates to this issue: biologist André Green II, photographer Jasper Doest and education advocate Ara Kusuma. Sartore is now 17 years into his efforts to create an “Ark” of animal photos. Portraits of more than 15,000 species invite audiences to connect and care. With the Society’s support, the images have appeared on the landmarks and postage stamps in the U. S., contributing to on-the-ground conservation efforts. As Sartore says, “The sounds of birds are the sounds of a health y planet. When we save a bird or another species, we’re actually saving ourselves.” 4. What do we know about the Florida grasshopper sparrow? A. It died out entirely in 2012. B. It has lost its singing voice. C. It is crucial to the ecology. D. Only a few females were left. 5. Which of the following best describes Sartore’s journey to Florida? A. Adventurous. B. Dangerous. C. Eventful. D. Fruitful. 6. What can be inferred about the protection of the sparrow? A. It is a costly but unproductive project. B. It centered on creating a unique model. C. It aims to control the species’ population. D. It involves multi-field’s strength and efforts. 7. What kind of person is Sartore according to the text? A. Demanding and generous. B. Responsible and devoted. C. Talented and considerate. D. Determined and sensitive. C People flood into cities for understandable reasons: more job opportunities, more cultural diversity and larger communities. Yet living in a concrete-walled, green-poor, urban environment takes away from our-very essence our fundamental need to be close to nature. We can’t quite break the link with our evolutionary (进化的) past and part ways with our origins. Surrounding ourselves with walls and ‘screens, we tend to pay a price, often with our health and quality of life. In Japan, a populous country with vast expanses of green forests, an ancient tradition, known as shinrin-yoku, or forest bathing, tries to balance out the pressure from urban living. It’s the practice of spending prolonged periods of time with trees to gain from their many health benefits. In a book hitting shelves this month, Forest Bathing: How Trees Can Help You Find Health and Happiness, Dr. Qing Li, the world’s foremost expert in forest medicine, introduces readers to the valuable practice of forest bathing. The book features more than 100 color photographs of forests around the world. One may reject this kind of book as yet less convincing, but the point is that Li has not just practiced forest bathing, but has also studied its impact on people’s health through numerous scientific studies. He has data to support his claims, collected in a long list of expert-reviewed articles at the end of the book. The book lists studies that consistently show-a substantial reduction of stress hormones (应激激素). Essential tree oils found in forest air increase energy levels by more than 30 percent and improve a general state of well-being, including improvement in sleep. Scientific results apart, the, concept of forest bathing shouldn’t be so surprising. Who hasn’t felt an inner sense of well-being when walking along a quiet forest path? Stepping into a forest, away from the artificial sounds and smells of urban life, does feel like pushing a life reset button, reestablishing a connection with our deepest needs. To celebrate this wonderful book and. what seems to be a rediscovery of forest bathing in our life, I’m going to go now—to take: my forest bath. 8. What is stressed in paragraph 1? A. The harm of electronics. B. The downside of city life. C. The consequences of lack of workout. D. The reasons for pursuit of urban living. 9. What’s the book aimed at? A. Promoting a lifestyle. B. Presenting research results. C. Stating the significance of walks. D. Appealing for forest conservation. 10. Which of the following can best describe Dr. Li’s book? A. One-sided. B. Sharply worded. C. Evidence-based. D. Widely recognized. 11. How is the benefit of forest bathing further proved in paragraph 4? A. Through clinical cases. B. Through practical experience. C. Through official statistics. D. Through Japanese experts’ studies. D Star Wars fans would be familiar with the good relationship between humans and droids (机器人) in the movies. In the movie Solo: A Star Wars Story, Lando Calrissian risked his life to rescue his co-pilot, a female droid L3-37. In real life, a humanoid robot, Sophia, has recently been granted (给予) citizenship in Saudi Arabia. Increasingly, people are ready to see robots as resembling humans. Given this phenomenon, I believ it is necessary to consider giving robots certain rights humans enjoy. Experts have argued that since robots have now acquired human-like qualities, it is appropriate to consider if they should have rights just as humans. Sophia has a human like face and utilizes artificial intelligence to respond to speech and express emotions. For such a lifelike being that is potentially capable of expressing emotions, does it not deserve the right to be loved and respected? Robots should also be given legal and moral protection as harming a robot may be similar to harming humans. Since people tend to form attachments to social robots, it becomes possible for companies to control the hardware and software to exploit this emotional attachment. There is a danger that data that is stored in the robot could be uploaded to the cloud. There would then possibly be situations in which the government or private sector retrieves (检索数据) the information stored in a robotic toy or social robot. With these uncertainties, it is clear why robots should be protected, just as humans. An even more irresistible reason to grant human rights to the robots is the protection of societal values. We should stop a young child from kicking or tearing a toy robot apart because it resembles a real life. Giving robots certain rights will ensure that societal standards are set. Still, many have roundly argued that no matter how sophisticated (老练的) they may be, robots are still machines. It is therefore quite ridiculous to treat them as living beings and grant them rights. However, with the advancement in technology, it is a matter of time before robots are fully anthropomorphized (赋予人的特征), and we would have to consider granting them rights. In conclusion, deciding whether robots deserve human rights is by no means an easy task, but now is the time to start the conversation on this and seriously consider the possibility. 12. Why does the author mention the two examples in the first paragraph? A. To remind readers of the importance of robots. B. To discuss the necessity of rescuing robots. C. To set readers thinking about an issue about robots. D. To describe the relationship between humans and robots. 13. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 3? A. Robots should be legally and morally protected. B. There is possible information risk. C. Humans are doing harm to robots. D. Robots should be given more emotional attachment. 14. What’s the author’s attitude towards granting robots human rights? A. Doubtful. B. Favorable. C. Negative. D. Uncaring. 15. What’s the structure of the passage? (①=Para. 1 ②=Para. 2 ③=Para. 3 ④=Para. 4 ⑤=Para. 5 ⑥=Para. 6) A. ①—②③④⑤—⑥ B. ①②—③④⑤—⑥ C. ①—②③—④⑤⑥ D. ①—②③④—⑤⑥ 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。 Parents showing off their children has long been popular on social media. It is found that videos with children receive three times as many views as other videos.

And that content is not going to go away.” Dr. Sarah Domoff, who directs the Family Health Lab at Central Michigan University also says parental oversharing may be damaging. A. The pursuit of internet fame and dollars may pose serious potential dangers to the kids on social media. B. Some sell their own branded products directly to viewers. C. They can’t give any type of permission or know involvement. D. Some parents have already started to reconsider sharenting. E.

The spirit of neighborliness was very strong then. All of us were quite poor by today’s standards, but we got by. However, one family which could be considered as living a marginal (微不足道) existence was the Acob family living in the repair shop opposite our house. Mr. Acob, the auto mechanic, had a large brood of children — twelve to be exact. The joke among the neighbors was that he was aiming to form a football team among his children. However, seriously speaking, it was no joke for him trying to feed his growing children daily. My mother was a kind-hearted soul. Often, she would remark that his children were dressed in ragged clothes and looked malnourished (营养不良的). My family was relatively better off in the village. My mother would bring over whatever food we could spare to our neighbors. I remember one particular year when times were very hard. The economy was doing very badly. There and then, Mom still decided to sacrifice a portion of our meals to the family. Despite the protests from my brothers and sisters that we too were hungry, she kept on doing the kind act. I shared a room with my brothers overlooking the repair shop. I was interested in the repair of cars and would often stare out of the window to see Mr. Acob hard at work. As the street in front of my house was rebuilt into a main road, I noticed Mr. Acob looked more cheerful. The number of customers at his shop had increased steadily. His business took off like a rocket. It was at this time that my father’s business took a turn for the worse. And his health was also becoming worse. We were at our wits’ end, confused by the mysterious illness he was suffering from. My father then decided to sell our family car to pay off the mounting bills, or my brothers and I had to stop schooling. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按下列格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 My father and I were parking our car outside of Acob’ shop. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ One day, Acob said to me, “You will be an excellent mechanic, boy.” ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 实验中学高二阶段性测试 英语试卷 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分 30 分） 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，并标在试卷的相应位置。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.

But it almost fell silent forever. In 2012, Joel Sartore, National Geographic Explorer and Photo Ark founder, received a call from the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service: The songbird, an important ecological link in Florida’s dry grasslands, was struggling on extinction. With only a few dozen males in sight, it was among North America’s most endangered bird species. Funded by the National Geographic Society, Sartore flew to Florida to photograph the bird and work with conservationists to raise awareness of the species’ situation. The story went viral on social media, helping boost government funding for a protecting program. Thanks to these steps, there are now as many as 180 adult birds in the wild, and researchers are working hard to bring the species back from the brink of extinction. This journey reveals the Society’s mission to illuminate and protect the wonder of the world. Over the past 136 years, it has developed a unique explorer-led model, combining science, exploration, education and storytelling to drive impact. The society also supports explorers in more than 140 countries, including Sartore and others whose work relates to this issue: biologist André Green II, photographer Jasper Doest and education advocate Ara Kusuma. Sartore is now 17 years into his efforts to create an “Ark” of animal photos. Portraits of more than 15,000 species invite audiences to connect and care. With the Society’s support, the images have appeared on the landmarks and postage stamps in the U. S., contributing to on-the-ground conservation efforts. As Sartore says, “The sounds of birds are the sounds of a health y planet. When we save a bird or another species, we’re actually saving ourselves.” 4. What do we know about the Florida grasshopper sparrow? A. It died out entirely in 2012. B. It has lost its singing voice. C. It is crucial to the ecology. D. Only a few females were left. 5. Which of the following best describes Sartore’s journey to Florida? A. Adventurous. B. Dangerous. C. Eventful. D. Fruitful. 6. What can be inferred about the protection of the sparrow? A. It is a costly but unproductive project. B. It centered on creating a unique model. C. It aims to control the species’ population. D. It involves multi-field’s strength and efforts. 7. What kind of person is Sartore according to the text? A. Demanding and generous. B. Responsible and devoted. C. Talented and considerate. D. Determined and sensitive. 【答案】4. C 5. D 6. D 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了关于佛罗里达草蜢雀这一濒危物种的保护工作，并报道了摄影师Joel Sartore和国家地理学会的贡献。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“In 2012, Joel Sartore, National Geographic Explorer and Photo Ark founder, received a call from the U.

Yet living in a concrete-walled, green-poor, urban environment takes away from our-very essence our fundamental need to be close to nature. We can’t quite break the link with our evolutionary (进化的) past and part ways with our origins. Surrounding ourselves with walls and ‘screens, we tend to pay a price, often with our health and quality of life. In Japan, a populous country with vast expanses of green forests, an ancient tradition, known as shinrin-yoku, or forest bathing, tries to balance out the pressure from urban living. It’s the practice of spending prolonged periods of time with trees to gain from their many health benefits. In a book hitting shelves this month, Forest Bathing: How Trees Can Help You Find Health and Happiness, Dr. Qing Li, the world’s foremost expert in forest medicine, introduces readers to the valuable practice of forest bathing. The book features more than 100 color photographs of forests around the world. One may reject this kind of book as yet less convincing, but the point is that Li has not just practiced forest bathing, but has also studied its impact on people’s health through numerous scientific studies. He has data to support his claims, collected in a long list of expert-reviewed articles at the end of the book. The book lists studies that consistently show-a substantial, reduction of stress hormones (应激激素). Essential tree oils found in forest air increase energy levels by more than 30 percent and improve a general state of well-being, including improvement in sleep. Scientific results apart, the, concept of forest bathing shouldn’t be so surprising. Who hasn’t felt an inner sense of well-being when walking along a quiet forest path? Stepping into a forest, away from the artificial sounds and smells of urban life, does feel like pushing a life reset button, reestablishing a connection with our deepest needs. To celebrate this wonderful book and. what seems to be a rediscovery of forest bathing in our life, I’m going to go now—to take: my forest bath. 8. What is stressed in paragraph 1? A. The harm of electronics. B. The downside of city life. C. The consequences of lack of workout. D. The reasons for pursuit of urban living. 9. What’s the book aimed at? A. Promoting a lifestyle. B. Presenting research results. C. Stating the significance of walks. D. Appealing for forest conservation. 10. Which of the following can best describe Dr. Li’s book? A. One-sided. B. Sharply worded. C. Evidence-based. D. Widely recognized. 11. How is the benefit of forest bathing further proved in paragraph 4? A. Through clinical cases. B. Through practical experience. C. Through official statistics. D. Through Japanese experts’ studies. 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. C 11.

In the movie Solo: A Star Wars Story, Lando Calrissian risked his life to rescue his co-pilot, a female droid L3-37. In real life, a humanoid robot, Sophia, has recently been granted (给予) citizenship in Saudi Arabia. Increasingly, people are ready to see robots as resembling humans. Given this phenomenon, I believ it is necessary to consider giving robots certain rights humans enjoy. Experts have argued that since robots have now acquired human-like qualities, it is appropriate to consider if they should have rights just as humans. Sophia has a human like face and utilizes artificial intelligence to respond to speech and express emotions. For such a lifelike being that is potentially capable of expressing emotions, does it not deserve the right to be loved and respected? Robots should also be given legal and moral protection as harming a robot may be similar to harming humans. Since people tend to form attachments to social robots, it becomes possible for companies to control the hardware and software to exploit this emotional attachment. There is a danger that data that is stored in the robot could be uploaded to the cloud. There would then possibly be situations in which the government or private sector retrieves (检索数据) the information stored in a robotic toy or social robot. With these uncertainties, it is clear why robots should be protected, just as humans. An even more irresistible reason to grant human rights to the robots is the protection of societal values. We should stop a young child from kicking or tearing a toy robot apart because it resembles a real life. Giving robots certain rights will ensure that societal standards are set. Still, many have roundly argued that no matter how sophisticated (老练的) they may be, robots are still machines. It is therefore quite ridiculous to treat them as living beings and grant them rights. However, with the advancement in technology, it is a matter of time before robots are fully anthropomorphized (赋予人的特征), and we would have to consider granting them rights. In conclusion, deciding whether robots deserve human rights is by no means an easy task, but now is the time to start the conversation on this and seriously consider the possibility. 12. Why does the author mention the two examples in the first paragraph? A To remind readers of the importance of robots. B. To discuss the necessity of rescuing robots. C. To set readers thinking about an issue about robots. D To describe the relationship between humans and robots. 13. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 3? A. Robots should be legally and morally protected. B. There is possible information risk. C. Humans are doing harm to robots. D. Robots should be given more emotional attachment. 14. What’s the author’s attitude towards granting robots human rights? A. Doubtful. B. Favorable. C. Negative. D. Uncaring. 15. What’s the structure of the passage? (①=Para. 1 ②=Para. 2 ③=Para. 3 ④=Para. 4 ⑤=Para. 5 ⑥=Para. 6) A. ①—②③④⑤—⑥ B. ①②—③④⑤—⑥ C. ①—②③—④⑤⑥ D. ①—②③④—⑤⑥ 【答案】12. C 13. A 14. B 15. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。随着机器人越来越类人化，我们很多时候不能再把机器人仅仅看作机器，因此文章论述了应该赋予机器人人权的理由。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段的“Given this phenomenon, I believ it is necessary to consider giving robots certain rights humans enjoy.（鉴于这种现象，我认为有必要考虑给予机器人人类享有的某些权利）”结合下文陈述应该给与机器人人权的原因推知，上文提到星球大战中机器人救机器人以及现实生活中的机器人Sophia的例子是为了让读者思考一个关于机器人的问题。故选C。 【13题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段的主要内容，尤其中心句“Robots should also be given legal and moral protection as harming a robot may be similar to harming humans.（机器人也应该得到法律和道德保护，因为伤害机器人可能与伤害人类相似）”可知，本段主要陈述机器人应该受到法律和道德的保护。故选A。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的“However, with the advancement in technology, it is a matter of time before robots are fully anthropomorphized (赋予人的特征), and we would have to consider granting them rights.（然而，随着技术的进步，机器人完全拟人化只是时间问题， 我们必须考虑赋予他们权利）”和最后一段“In conclusion, deciding whether robots deserve human rights is by no means an easy task, but now is the time to start the conversation on this and seriously consider the possibility.（总之，决定机器人是否应该享有人权并不是一件容易的事，但现在是开始对话的时候了，并认真考虑这种可能性）”推知，作者对给与机器人人权持支持态度。故选B。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文可知，文章第一段提出本文话题——考虑给机器人人权，第二到第五段陈述为什么要给机器人人权，最后一个自然段总结全文。因此文章的结构是①—②③④⑤—⑥。故选A。 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。 Parents showing off their children has long been popular on social media.

The spirit of neighborliness was very strong then. All of us were quite poor by today’s standards, but we got by. However, one family which could be considered as living a marginal (微不足道) existence was the Acob family living in the repair shop opposite our house. Mr. Acob, the auto mechanic, had a large brood of children — twelve to be exact. The joke among the neighbors was that he was aiming to form a football team among his children. However, seriously speaking, it was no joke for him trying to feed his growing children daily. My mother was a kind-hearted soul. Often, she would remark that his children were dressed in ragged clothes and looked malnourished (营养不良的). My family was relatively better off in the village. My mother would bring over whatever food we could spare to our neighbors. I remember one particular year when times were very hard. The economy was doing very badly. There and then, Mom still decided to sacrifice a portion of our meals to the family. Despite the protests from my brothers and sisters that we too were hungry, she kept on doing the kind act. I shared a room with my brothers overlooking the repair shop. I was interested in the repair of cars and would often stare out of the window to see Mr. Acob hard at work. As the street in front of my house was rebuilt into a main road, I noticed Mr. Acob looked more cheerful. The number of customers at his shop had increased steadily. His business took off like a rocket. It was at this time that my father’s business took a turn for the worse. And his health was also becoming worse. We were at our wits’ end, confused by the mysterious illness he was suffering from. My father then decided to sell our family car to pay off the mounting bills, or my brothers and I had to stop schooling. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按下列格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 My father and I were parking our car outside of Acob’ shop. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ One day, Acob said to me, “You will be an excellent mechanic, boy.” ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: My father and I were parking our car outside of Acob’s shop. As my father went inside to speak with Mr. Acob about his decision, I noticed the shelves stocked with various tools and parts, all meticulously organized. After learning of our situation, Mr. Acob told my father not to sell the car. He stated emotionally that it was his turn to repay the kindness that my mother had shown to him in the past. Through his connections, Acob arranged for my father to consult a famous doctor. Besides, he arranged for a loan for my father’s business. He also arranged to finance our education as long as we needed it. One day, Acob said to me, “You will be an excellent mechanic, boy.” His words ignited a spark in my young heart, and I began to shadow him at the repair shop whenever I could. Mr. Acob happily taught me the ins and outs of car repair, guiding me through the process with a kind smile on his face. At the same time, with the help of Acob, the situation in my family took a turn for the better. My father recovered from his illness gradually and his business recovered the next year. The story between the Acob family and my family has proved a saying that kindness always begets kindness. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者小时候生活在一个小村庄，这里民风淳朴，虽然生活很艰苦，但是所有人都熬过来了。村子里的Acob先生开了一家维修店，家里有12个孩子，日子过得非常艰难。作者家相对富裕一些，作者的妈妈心地善良，经常救济Acob先生一家。即使在经济状况不好的生活困难时期，妈妈仍然分一部分自家的食物给他们。作者和兄弟们合住的房间可以看到Acob先生修车，对修车很感兴趣的作者常常看他努力工作。后来，Acob先生的维修店生意好了起来。但是，作者爸爸的生意变得糟糕，爸爸也生病了，作者一家一筹莫展，爸爸决定卖掉家里的汽车，否则作者和兄弟们将不得不停止学业。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“父亲和我把车停在了Acob的店外”可知，第一段可描写Acob先生了解了作者一家的情况，想要报答作者一家的恩情，以及着手帮助父亲治病，解决父亲生意上的困难，资助作者和兄弟们的学业。 ②由第二段首句内容“一天，Acob对我说：‘孩子，你会成为一名优秀的机械师的。’”可知，第二段可描写作者开始跟着Acob先生学习修车的技术，以及在Acob先生的帮助下，作者一家的情况有了好转。 2. 续写线索：车停在Acob的店外——Acob先生想报答作者一家——Acob先生提供帮助——Acob认为作者可以成为机械师——作者跟着Acob先生学习——作者一家情况好转 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①注意到：notice/spot ②说：state/say ③报答：repay/pay back ④激起：ignite/arouse/trigger ⑤证明：prove/manifest 情绪类 ①激动地：emotionally/excitedly ②高兴地：happily/cheerfully 【点睛】[高分句型1] He stated emotionally that it was his turn to repay the kindness that my mother had shown to him in the past.
