Why don’t they have a place to stay?’” John Hansen recalled. “After I explained that they had run into hard times and were homeless, I knew that we were looking at an educational opportunity. My son wanted to help them.” The father and son convinced a local Jamba Juice store to donate more than 100 smoothies(果汁)and the pair gave them out to homeless people in a park. After that, they came up with an even better idea. “I wanted a way to get to know people better, “Chase said. ”So, my dad and I decided to start taking some of the homeless people we’d met out to lunch. “A lot of people walk right past homeless people and don’t see the person,” he said. “I know now that they’re people just like us. They want to make a connection and not feel so alone in the world.” Hundreds of lunches later, they run a self-funded charity called Project Empathy(同情)to help inspire others to meet and to create relationships with the homeless people in their neighborhoods. The organization provides a list of resources that can help homeless people with food, housing and employment. John said that what started as a way to spend quality time with his son has turned into a passion for both of them. “Chase and I realized that the country needed an army of people to practice empathy, and that by doing something as simple as taking a homeless person to lunch, we could maybe inspire others to do the same, ”he said. “Any time you can help to give someone a voice, it’s empowering. 24.

France, on October 10,1731, the oldest son of Lord Charles Cavendish and Lady Anne Grey, who died a few years after Henry was born. As a youth he attended Dr.Newcomb’s Academy in Hackney, England. He entered Peterhouse, Cambridge, 1749, but left after three years without taking a degree. Cavendish returned to London, England to live with his father. There, Cavendish built himself a laboratory and workshop. When his father died in 1783. Cavendish moved the laboratory to Clapham Common, where he also lived. He never married and was so reserved that there is little record of his having any social life except occasional meetings with scientific friends. During his lifetime, Cavendish made striking discoveries in chemistry, mainly between 1766 and 1788, and in electricity, between 1771 and 1788. In 1783, he published a study of the means of determining the freezing point of mercury (水银).In 1784. Cavendish determined the make-up of water, showing that it was a combination of oxygen and hydrogen. Cavendish’s most celebrated investigation was that on the density (密度) of the earth. In 1798, he published a single famous paper on the density of the earth. Spending his whole life in the laboratory and library, Cavendish’s life was quite simple. He died in London on February 24，1810. But because he had a low regard for glory, he cared little about publishing his results and getting priority for discovery, and much of his work remained unpublished. It was not until the middle of the 19th century that some extremely valuable materials were found in his manuscripts (手稿),which proved that he had made a great contribution to the development of science. 28. What happened to Cavendish in 1752? A. His wife left him. B. He dropped out of Cambridge. C. His mother passed away. D. His laboratory was on fire. 29.

The material, called MarinaTex, is the winner of this year’s James Dyson Award. “It began with my desire to work with waste” says Lucy Hughes, a recent graduate from University of Sussex, who once visited a fish processing factory to see the massive quantity of waste generated by the industry and found new ways to use it. She focused on fish skins and scales(鳞片). “When I had it in my hands, I realized this has got potential,” she says. “It s super strong and flexible.” Hughes spent months experimenting with fish waste in her kitchen, running more than 100 experiments to find a binder(粘合剂) and a process that could hold together the proteins in the fish skins and scales.“I had a lot of failed attempts. A lot of things either were too easily broken or too soft or easily went bad,” she says. She finally found a type of algae that can be locally got. The material can be used to replace oil-based plastic in packaging such as bags or the half-transparent windows used to show products in boxes. As her research continues, Hughes says that she’ll be studying how MarinaTex works and how long it could be used to store food. Unlike some “composable” plastics, which need to be processed in an industrial composting(堆肥) facility to break down, the new material can break down in four to six weeks in a backyard compost bin. “All the ingredients are food-grade safe,” Hughes says. “So, this breaks down much like a piece of food would break down. 32. Why did MarinaTex win this year s James Dyson Award? A. It doesn’t go into the ocean. B. It is environmentally-friendly. C. It doesn’t produce any waste. D. It doesn’t look like conventional plastic. 33. What is the main idea conveyed in paragraph 2? A. Where Hughes got inspiration for the binder. B. How Hughes developed MarinaTex. C. What advantages MarinaTex has. D. Where the binder can be used. 34. What is yet to be found out? A. How long it takes for MarinaTex to break down. B. How long MarinaTex can be used to store food. C. Whether MarinaTex can replace oil-based plastic. D. Whether MarinaTex is better than half-transparent windows. 35. Where is the text most likely to appear? A. In a science fiction. B. In a government report. C. In a science magazine. D. In a government announcement. 【答案】32. B 33. B 34. B 35. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。介绍的是一种看起来与普通的便利袋相仿的新发明的包装材料，这种材料是由鱼废料和海藻制作而成的。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“This new packaging material looks like conventional plastic, but it’s actually made from fish waste and algae(海藻)—unlike plastic, if it escapes into the ocean, a fish could eat it safely.(这种新的包装材料看起来像传统的塑料，但它实际上是由鱼粪和藻类制成的——与塑料不同，如果它逃逸到海洋中，鱼可以安全地食用它。)”可知，这种材料很环保。故选B项。 【33题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段中的““It began with my desire to work with waste,” says Lucy Hughes, a recent graduate from University of Sussex, who once visited a fish processing factory to see the massive quantity of waste generated by the industry and found new ways to use it.(“这始于我处理废物的愿望，”刚从萨塞克斯大学毕业的露西休斯说，她曾经参观过一家鱼类加工厂，看到该行业产生的大量废物，并找到了使用它的新方法。)”以及尾句“She finally found a type of algae that can be locally got.(她终于找到了一种可以在当地得到的藻类。)”结合该段中间的每个细节可判断，该段分析的是Lucy Hughes研发这种材料的过程。故选B项。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“As her research continues, Hughes says that she’ll be studying how MarinaTex works and how long it could be used to store food.(随着研究的继续，休斯说她将研究MarinaTex的工作原理以及它可以用于储存食物多长时间。)”可知，有待于研究的是MarinaTex的工作原理以及用于存储食物多久。故选B项。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据首段中的首句“This new packaging material looks like conventional plastic, but it’s actually made from fish waste and algae(海藻)—unlike plastic, if it escapes into the ocean, a fish could eat it safely.(随着研究的继续，休斯说她将研究MarinaTex的工作原理以及它可以用于储存食物多长时间。)”可知，该篇文章介绍的是一种新型的包装材料，属于科学研究，由此可以判断，该文应该出现在科学杂志当中。故选C项。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Smartwatches and fitness trackers (健身追踪器) have gained popularity recently.

(例如，专注于你的爱好或与朋友社交是让你专注于其他事情的好方法) ”说明可以采用查看与健身追踪器无关的事情的方法，来减少看智能手表的时间，G项“find other things to do”与下文“keep your mind on other things”相呼应，G项“除此之外，你还可以找到其他不需要查看健身追踪器的事情。”引出下文，符合题意。故选G。 第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分45分） 第一节（共20小题，每小题1.5分，满分30分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Sudha Chandran ,a dancer from India ,had to have her right leg cut off after a car accident.

A well-dressing man on the bus helped me greatly. He took me off the bus, found out where the doctor's office and took me there himself. The next day, he came to visit me. I didn't speak French well, so I can't talk with him very much. However, even if we couldn't talk, but we could communicate. I communicated myself thanks to his great kindness, and he communicated his concern for my healthy. Through this experience I have learned what communication can take place without much actually language at all. 【答案】1．traveled→traveling 　　 2．well-dressing →well-dressed 　　 3．office后加was 　　 4．can't→couldn't 　 5．去掉but 　　　 6．myself→my 　 7．for →to　 8．healthy→health 　　 9．what →that　 10. actually→actual 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了作者在坐公共汽车去巴黎的途中病得很重，得到一位陌生人帮助并关心的故事。尽管两个人语言不通，但他们却能够很好的交流。 【详解】第一处：考查省略。句意：在坐公共汽车去巴黎的途中，我病得很重。while引导时间状语从句时，如果从句的主语和主句的主语相同，且含有be动词时，从句的主语和谓语动词be都可以省略，表示某个动作正在进行的同时，另一个动作也在进行之中。完整的句子为While I was traveling to Paris on a bus. 用现在分词 traveling。故将traveled改为traveling。 第二处：考查形容词。句意：公共汽车上一个穿得很讲究的人帮了我很大的忙。well-dressing华意为“华丽的衣服”；well- dressed意为“穿着得体的、时尚的、好看的”。well-dressing改为well-dressed。 第三处： 考查名词性从句和时态。句意：他带我下了车，找到了医生诊所，亲自带我去了那里。where引导的宾语从句缺少谓语，又因为本文时态为一般过去时，所以加was。故在office后加 was。 第四处：考查时态。句意：我法语说得不好，所以我不能和他说很多话。本篇文章用的是一般过去时，所以此处也应该用过去时。故将can’t改为couldn’t。 第五处：考查连词。句意：然而，即使我们不能交谈，但我们可以交流。此句是even if引导的让步状语从句，只需用一个引导词，所以此处不能再用but。故去掉but。 第六处：考查代词。句意：我向他表达了我的感谢，他也表达了他对我健康的关心。thanks在此句中是名词，应用形容词性物主代词修饰名词，而不能用反身代词。故将myself改为my。 第七处：考查介词。句意：我向他表达了我的感谢，他也表达了他对我健康的关心。concern to sth.是固定搭配，意为“对某事的关心”。故将for改为to。 第八处：考查名词。句意：我向他表达了我的感谢，他也表达了他对我健康的关心。healthy是形容词，health是名词，根据句中的for可知，此处应用名词 health。故将healthy改为health。 第九处：考查名词性从句。句意：通过这次经历，我了解到沟通可以在没有太多实际语言的情况下进行。本句为宾语从句，从句中不缺少成分且句意完整，所以用引导词that引导。故将what改为that。 第十处：考查形容词。句意：通过这次经历，我了解到沟通可以在没有太多实际语言的情况下进行。句中的 language是名词，应用形容词修饰。 actually是副词，所以应用actual。故将actually改为actual。 第二节 书面表达（满分25分） 72. 你校正在组织英语作文比赛。请以值得尊敬和爱戴的一位残疾人为题，写一篇短文参赛，内容包括： 1. 人物简介； 2. 你爱戴他（她）的原因。 注意： 1. 词数100左右； 2. 开头已给出，不计入总词数； 3. 适当增加细节以使行文连贯。 A Disabled Person I Respect Most There are many respectable disabled people in the world. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: A Disabled Person I Respect Most There are many respectable disabled people in the world. As for me, Stephen Hawking is the person I respect most. The first time I heard of Stephen Hawking, I was moved by his devotion to the research. As a physicist, he was famous for his groundbreaking work on black holes and relativity. He was also the author of the best-seller A Brief History of Time. However, he was in poor health condition, wheel-chair bound and speechless. Only when he turned to the computer was it possible for him to speak, read and write. It was his courage and persistence that inspired people across the world. In my opinion, no one could match him in the contributions to science. He was a great scientist and a legend and his work and legacy will exert a powerful/profound influence on the world for a long time. 【解析】 【分析】本篇书面表达属于记叙文。要求考生以值得尊敬和爱戴的一位残疾人为题，写一篇短文。 【详解】1.词汇积累 著名：famous →known 挚爱：devotion →passion 就我而言：in my opinion →as far as I’m concerned 全世界：across the world → all over the world 2.句式拓展 简单句变复合句 原句：He was a great scientist and a legend and his work and legacy will exert a powerful/profound influence on the world for a long time. 拓展句：He was a great scientist and a legend, whose work and legacy will exert a powerful/profound influence on the world for a long time. 【点睛】【高分句型1】As for me, Stephen Hawking is the person I respect most.（运用了省略that的定语从句） 【高分句型2】The first time I heard of Stephen Hawking, I was moved by his devotion to the research.（运用了the first time 引导的时间状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 叙州区第二中学2023年春期高二期中考试 英语试题 第I卷 选择题（100分） 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时，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. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 What are the speakers mainly talking about?

When Chase Hansen was only 4 years old, he encountered homeless people for the first time while shopping with his dad at an outdoor mall in Salt Lake City, Nevada. It’s no wonder that he had a lot of questions. “Chase looked at me and said, ‘Dad, who are these people? Why don’t they have a place to stay?’” John Hansen recalled. “After I explained that they had run into hard times and were homeless, I knew that we were looking at an educational opportunity. My son wanted to help them.” The father and son convinced a local Jamba Juice store to donate more than 100 smoothies(果汁)and the pair gave them out to homeless people in a park. After that, they came up with an even better idea. “I wanted a way to get to know people better, “Chase said. ”So, my dad and I decided to start taking some of the homeless people we’d met out to lunch. “A lot of people walk right past homeless people and don’t see the person,” he said. “I know now that they’re people just like us. They want to make a connection and not feel so alone in the world.” Hundreds of lunches later, they run a self-funded charity called Project Empathy(同情)to help inspire others to meet and to create relationships with the homeless people in their neighborhoods. The organization provides a list of resources that can help homeless people with food, housing and employment. John said that what started as a way to spend quality time with his son has turned into a passion for both of them. “Chase and I realized that the country needed an army of people to practice empathy, and that by doing something as simple as taking a homeless person to lunch, we could maybe inspire others to do the same, ”he said. “Any time you can help to give someone a voice, it’s empowering. 24. Which of the following can best describe Chase Hansen? A. Curious and caring. B. Knowledgeable and kind. C. Successful and talented. D. Generous and ambitious. 25.

D This new packaging material looks like conventional plastic, but it’s actually made from fish waste and algae(海藻)—unlike plastic, if it escapes into the ocean, a fish could eat it safely. The material, called MarinaTex, is the winner of this year’s James Dyson Award. “It began with my desire to work with waste,” says Lucy Hughes, a recent graduate from University of Sussex, who once visited a fish processing factory to see the massive quantity of waste generated by the industry and found new ways to use it. She focused on fish skins and scales(鳞片). “When I had it in my hands, I realized this has got potential,” she says. “It s super strong and flexible.” Hughes spent months experimenting with fish waste in her kitchen, running more than 100 experiments to find a binder(粘合剂) and a process that could hold together the proteins in the fish skins and scales.“I had a lot of failed attempts. A lot of things either were too easily broken or too soft or easily went bad,” she says. She finally found a type of algae that can be locally got. The material can be used to replace oil-based plastic in packaging such as bags or the half-transparent windows used to show products in boxes. As her research continues, Hughes says that she’ll be studying how MarinaTex works and how long it could be used to store food. Unlike some “composable” plastics, which need to be processed in an industrial composting(堆肥) facility to break down, the new material can break down in four to six weeks in a backyard compost bin. “All the ingredients are food-grade safe,” Hughes says. “So, this breaks down much like a piece of food would break down. 32. Why did MarinaTex win this year s James Dyson Award? A. It doesn’t go into the ocean. B. It is environmentally-friendly. C. It doesn’t produce any waste. D. It doesn’t look like conventional plastic. 33. What is the main idea conveyed in paragraph 2? A. Where Hughes got inspiration for the binder. B. How Hughes developed MarinaTex. C. What advantages MarinaTex has. D. Where the binder can be used. 34. What is yet to be found out? A. How long it takes for MarinaTex to break down. B. How long MarinaTex can be used to store food. C. Whether MarinaTex can replace oil-based plastic. D. Whether MarinaTex is better than half-transparent windows. 35. Where is the text most likely to appear? A. In a science fiction. B. In a government report. C. In a science magazine. D. In a government announcement. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Smartwatches and fitness trackers (健身追踪器) have gained popularity recently.
