Her teaching is simple yet extremely effective. Without too many cliché instructions, she assisted me to jump into water directly and then demonstrated the proper swimming stroke beautifully. But once I was in the water, the feeling of fear drowned me again. In great disappointment even frustration, I leaned against the pool wall and dared not to swim any further. Kathy swam around me, patted on my back and encouraged me to try again. As time went by, I made great progress. Paragraph 2: 2024 年下学期邵东市高二联考 英语参考答案和听力材料 第 2 页 共 4 页 Four months flew past and it was time for me to take my test. Leaping into the water, I was seized by the familiar fear again. On the verge of giving up, Kathy’s trust breathed courage and confidence in me. I managed to collect all my strength and swam to the finishing line. Eventually I passed the swimming test! Never had I been so overjoyed. Turning around, Kathy reached for me and hugged me tightly. The light of the sun shone on us, witnessing the start of a new friendship. 听力原文 (Text 1) W:Who wrote this book?

They hope to discourage the seabirds from wandering onto the highway. The area is home to large crowds of birds that come to stay for the season. “Young birds are often attracted to the warm road surface and get killed by the traffic,” biologist student Hannah told the broadcaster. The youngsters’ feathers are brown in color, The dark-colored road surface makes the youngsters hard to be noticed, As the number of tourists has grown, so has the amount of traffic on the roads, It has caused a great threat to the birds, Biologist Kristin says the plan is to see how the birds respond to the multicolored road this summer, and if it works, the idea could spread to other parts of the country. It will make a big difference to the conservation of birds across the country. 2024年下学期邵东市高二联考 英语试题 注意事项: 1.答题前, 考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号、考场号、座位号填写在答题卡上。 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。 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。 例:How much is the shirt?

B On a cold morning in May, I received a fascinating e-mail from a high school friend, inviting me to a 10-day all-female surfing adventure in Portugal. The offer was irresistible, and I instantly knew my answer was yes. The trip seemed simple enough. Ten women, ranging from 30 to 45 years old, all strangers, would gather on the Portuguese coast to accept the challenge of surfing the Atlantic waves. As a fan of travel, I quickly sought permission from my boss for this once-in-a-lifetime journey. Through my 33 years, I’ve observed a common adult tendency: We often limit ourselves to improving skills we already have. There’s a certain pride in improving our expert knowledge, becoming increasingly knowledgeable in our chosen fields, yet unintentionally, this focus often leaves other skills undeveloped and leads to ignoring other areas of potential growth. Two days later, I arrived in Ericeira, a charming surf town, where I met my surfing group. Despite our different personalities and backgrounds, we were all united in a passionate desire to challenge ourselves, learn, tackle and grow. The shores at Ericeira, where the beginners learn to surf, are shallow and covered with slippery rocks. They make for softer waves but are difficult to navigate (驾驭). Guided by our amazing coaches, together, we faced the waves. Sometimes, it poured with rain, and the waves crashed around us, but we were still out there. And with every slip and fall, words of encouragement filled the air. Honestly, I probably spent most of my days frozen to the bone, but that didn’t matter because a new level of genuine joy and personal achievement had been unlocked. Learning a new skill taught me the humbleness that can come from doing badly at something new, and the pride that develops when you finally manage to grasp something you’ve been working on. While surfing might not be my calling, trying it out inspired me to take more risks in life, to step outside of my comfort zone and to never stop believing in myself. You never know what you’re capable of if you don’t go out there and try. 24. What motivated the author to join the surf trip to Portugal? A. The chance to undertake work duties in Portugal. B. The need to reunite with a primary school friend. C. The love to meet strangers with shared interest. D. The longing to seek and enjoy a challenge. 25. What is a common tendency among adults according to the author? A. They refuse to upgrade their professional skills. B. They avoid exploring new areas on purpose. C. They tend to improve their existing skills only. D. They are too proud to improve themselves. 26. Which of the following can best describe the author’s surfing experiences? A.Common and smooth. B. Tough but worthwhile. C. Boring and discouraging. D. Relaxing but unpredictable. 27. What does the text want to convey? A. Life begins at the end of your comfort zone. B. He who laughs last, laughs best. C. Birds of a feather flock together. D. The grass is always greener on the other side. C A visit to the movies is still among the most popular forms of entertainment even though the entertainment industry always complains about the influence that illegal (非法的) copying and downloading has on its business. “You begin to wonder why people continue to visit movie theaters when they can now watch everything at home,”said Andreas Baranowski of the Institute of Psychology at Mainz University. It was with this in mind that he did research to see whether it was the space itself and the size of the movie theater screen that created a different and preferred movie-watching experience. The research subjects were shown a ten-minute part of the film “Gulliver's Travels” in different environments.Some of the subjects watched the film in a Mainz art house cinema. Another group viewed the film on a computer screen alone, while a third group sat in front of a very small movie theater, which had a 30 cm × 53 cm screen along with small rows of seats with small figures and curtain (幕布) props — all designed to create the illusion (错觉) of being in a movie theater. The final group had to make do with a model movie theater in which the film was shown on an even smaller cell phone display. The findings show that the larger the screen the greater the extent (程度) to which the viewers are drawn into a movie.So, although the results were best for the movie theater screen, the small movie theater with the computer screen was not far behind, only just in front of the model with the cell phone display. “We believe that the effect of screen size as a factor is not important in statistical (统计的) terms,”said Baranowski.“What was important was the difference in effect between the small movie theater and the only computer screen, causing the experts to come to the conclusion that the environments play a decisive role.” 28. What does the underlined word“this”in paragraph 2 refer to? A. People's choice of the time to go to the movies. B. The influence illegal copying has on the movie industry. C. The favorite movie people like to watch at home. D. People's preference for going to the movie theaters. 29. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The aim of the research. B. The method of the research. C. The importance of the research. D. The uniqueness of the research. 30. What is the best movie-watching experience according to the research? A. Watching a movie on a cell phone display. B. Enjoying a movie in a small movie theater. C. Seeing a movie in a big art house cinema. D. Viewing a movie on a computer screen alone. 31. According to Baranowski, what greatly influences the movie-watching experience? A. The environments. B.The screen size. C. The types of movies. D. The size of audiences. D These students wandering through the woods on the outskirts (郊区) of Portland, Oregon, aren’t on a school field trip — this muddy field is their school. From the moment they’re dropped off in the morning, they spend their entire day outside in one of Oregon’s public parks. “Rain or shine, we’re out here,” said teacher Christine Fleener. On this surprisingly nice day, Fleener’s class of fifth graders headed to the grassland for a biology lesson. Further down the trail, a group of fourth graders is learning on logs. It’s school, just not the type of school you might be used to. “Forest school is where the classroom does not have walls,” said Tony Deis, one of the founders of Trackers Earth Forest School. “It’s how kids originally learned; they didn’t learn sitting at desks, facing forward, and looking at a teacher. They learned from a multi-sensory environment.” Over the past decade, outdoor forest schools have gained popularity in the United States. The idea is that the challenges that come with being outside all day — dealing with weather, building your own shelter, and unearthing the unexpected are all part of the learning process. It’s complicated, of course. Outdoor schooling involves a puzzle of weather and regulations and budget issues. A well-funded private school in Portland, Oregon is one thing, but what about a public school in Portland, Maine? Surprisingly, cold Maine, of all places, has been quick to adopt outdoor learning. The district isn’t all outside all the time, but certain classes, like art, have moved outdoors. Supplies came from federal (联邦的) funds and local donations. And while Maine has plenty of open space, Brooke Teller, the outdoor learning coordinator (协调人) for Portland Public Schools, believes schools in major cities could have green classrooms hiding underneath their pavement (路面). She said, “We have a few hundred landscape architects all across the country who have volunteered to be a thought partner with schools that want to figure out where on their grounds would be best for outdoor learning.” 32. What does the author describe at the beginning of the text? A.The popularity of public parks. B. The routine of a forest school. C. An interesting school field trip. D. An unforgettable adventure. 33. What is the main philosophy behind the concept of forest schools? A. Kids learn out of curiosity. B. Kids learn by outdoor practice. C. Kids learn by challenging other students. D. Kids learn by interacting with others. 34. What does Teller suggest schools that want to start outdoor education do? A. Start from certain classes. B. Work with landscape architects. C. Make use of their open space. D. Build green classrooms underground. 35. What can be the best title for the text? A. Outdoor forest schools B. Benefits of learning outdoors C. A new way of thinking D. Outdoor education in Oregon 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。 There’s nothing more frustrating than a parent saying “no” to something you really want, whether it’s a dog, or a new phone. 36 However, there are a lot of simple things you can do to help you convince your parents to give you what you want! Pick the right time to approach the subject. Usually, family dinner time is a safe bet. It is not a good idea to ask for something when either parent seems stressed, distracted, or tired. 37 Especially not if they’re upset at you. Maintain a calm tone during the talk. Asking for something can be an emotional experience: you might feel passionate about the thing you’re asking for, and you might feel angry or frustrated if your parents say no. 38 Studies show negotiation is more successful if it’s done peacefully and rationally. Be patient and give them time to think about it. 39 Tell them to get back to you in a couple hours or days with any questions or concerns they have. Let them know that you want to discuss this as mature, responsible adults and you are willing to work through any potential issues. Say it like that, and you’ll be sure to impress them with how well-rounded and balanced your argument is. 40 Before you go to your parents to ask for that new puppy, make sure you know exactly what adopting a pet requires. Having a good understanding of what you’ll be asking your parents about will help you present your case successfully; by knowing your topic inside and out, you’ll have confident answers for their many, many questions. A. You’d better never force them to give you an answer right away. B. You won’t always be able to persuade your parents to see things your way. C. It’s good to discuss with your parents about what you need at that time. D. You should try to keep your head all the way. E.Do background research on the thing you want. F. Don’t bring it up when they’re not in a good mood. G. Understand your parents’ current feelings about your requirement. 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人空白处的最佳选项。 Near the mall where I work stands a hospital.

Now, I was an excellent swimmer. Yet, a few months ago, things were different. And I had to thank her for helping me. I was always afraid of water. This fear could not be explained, but I knew that the moment I stepped near any body of water, my legs would turn to jelly. I would imagine myself drowning in the water. That was why I had never gone into a swimming pool until swimming became a school requirement. My school wanted all pupils to pass a swimming test, and if they could not, then they would have to attend weekly swimming lessons in school, which sent fright down my spine (脊柱). Thus, my parents signed me up for swimming lessons at the pool near my house. I had to attend those weekly lessons, and each one was great torture (折磨) for me. I was naturally awkward, and my fear of water did not help at all. Every lesson, I would be spending my time thrashing (拍打) about in the water while my classmates would be swimming countless laps effortlessly.
