(定远县第二中学2024~2025学年度高二第一学期第二次教学质量监测)Finnish Lapland, in the far north of Europe, is home to some 180, 000 people and around200, 000 reindeer (驯鹿) . The animals live wild but each one has an owner, identified by a mark on its ear. Anne Ollila, 50, one of 4, 000 such owners, works in the Finnish part of this region with her husband and two adult sons and their families. They farm the animals mainly for meat, but reindeer tourism has also become an important source of income.
Ollila lives 80 kilometres inside the Arctic Circle, an hour from Lapland's capital city, Rovaniemi, and seven kilometres from her nearest neighbour. Summer days—when the reindeer raisers earmark newborn reindeer—are long and in June the sun never sets. At that time Ollila sleeps during the day and walks up to 20 kilometres a night through the forest, making the most of the cooler temperatures to do her work but having to endure large groups of insects along the way.
In deepest winter, there is little daylight. Many grasslands are frozen and the reindeer move into the forest for protection against wolves and golden eagles— the birds can kill an adult reindeer.
Ollila and her family offer tourists reindeer experiences through their company Reindeer Journey. Visitors can get close to the animals in the wild or at their farm, watching them being trained to pull sledges (雪橇) or take a sleigh ride.
“Reindeer are very smart animals, ” Ollila says. “They have different personalities, and some are very funny. ” One of her favourites is Rocky, named after the movie boxing legend. “He's very curious and always in trouble, ” she says. “He once got himself stuck in tree branches and had to be lifted out, and he has been known to walk off with his owners' drying underwear. ”
Ollila gave up her job as a sociology researcher at the University of Lapland in 2010 to devote herself to raising reindeer. “I love the environment, the animals and the freedom, ” she says. “Also, I have a sense of belonging to something bigger than me, to a way of life through the generations. ”
4. What does the underlined word “endure” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Go away with. B. Put up with. C. Look forward to. D. Catch up with.
5. Why do the reindeer move into the forest in winter according to the text?
A. To protect themselves. B. To find their owners. C. To get earmarked. D. To avoid cold temperatures.
6. What does Ollila think of Rocky?
A. He is foolish. B. He is a famous filmmaker.
C. He is interested in planting trees. D. He is a troublemaker.
7. What can we infer about Ollila from the last paragraph?
A. She has been a sociology researcher since 2010.
B. She has long been tired of raising reindeer.
C. She has a deep affection for nature.
D. She had no chance to receive a college education.
【答案】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了 Anne Ollila 和她的家人饲养驯鹿的故事。
4. B 词义猜测题。根据画线词前 “At that time Ollila sleeps during the day and walks up to 20 kilometres a night through the forest, making the most of the cooler temperatures to do her work but having to” 及画线词后 “large groups of insects along the way.” 可推断,画线词的意思和 Put up with 最接近。Go away with 意为“携带某物离开”;Catch up with 意为“追上,赶上”;Look forward to意为“期待”。
5. A 细节理解题。 根据第三段 “In deepest winter. . . the reindeer move into the forest for protection against wolves and golden eagles— the birds can kill an adult reindeer. ” 可知,驯鹿在冬天进入森林是为了保护自己。
6. D 细节理解题。根据第五段 “One of her favourites is Rocky. . . ‘He's very curious and always in trouble, ’ she says. ‘He once got himself stuck in tree branches and had to be lifted out, and he has been known to walk off with his owners' drying underwear. ’ ” 可知,Ollila认为 Rocky 总是闯祸。
7. C 推理判断题。根据最后一段 “Ollila gave up her job as a sociology researcher at the University of Lapland in 2010 to devote herself to raising reindeer. ‘I love the environment, the animals and the freedom, ’ she says. . .” 可推断,Ollila对大自然有着深厚的感情。

(2024年秋季福建省永春二中晋江内坑中学等五校高二期中联考)Apollo 15 was the first flight to the moon that included a spacewalk. On our return trip to Earth, we needed to recover film canisters (胶卷盒) from the service module. Because it was a new activity, an incredible amount of preparation went into it.
I evaluated the entire plan in terms of safety and results. During our preflight analysis, we installed (安装) a warning tone in the suit in the event of low oxygen pressure and we simplified the method of returning the canisters to the Command Module. Once all this preflight work was finished, the actual spacewalk was easy and completed in a short time. I had the pleasure of being outside the spacecraft for 38 minutes, and here's how we did it.
We started suiting up an hour or so before the actual spacewalk. I got a little rush as the Command Module was depressurizing because I was then completely dependent on the pressure in the suit to keep me alive. I had practiced this process many times on Earth, but this was for real and I had to do it just right. Once the cabin (机舱) pressure went to zero, we opened the hatch and went out.
What a feeling to be free in deep space. I concentrated on reaching for the handholds as I made my way to the back of the service module so I would not float away. I had a small problem right away. The high-resolution camera was stuck out in its extended position. I had to go over the camera to get to the film canister. I reached the canister, put a safety clip (安全扣) on it, attached by a tether (拴绳) to my arm, and pulled it out of the machine. Turning around again I made my way back to the hatch. So far, a piece of cake. After another two trips, I finished my task.
Just by turning my head I could position myself so that both the Earth and the Moon were in my field of vision. It was the most unbelievable sight one could imagine. I realized that no one in all of history had ever seen this sight before. What an honor it was.
8. What can be learned about the author from paragraph 2?
A. He was well-prepared before the flight.
B. He became addicted to spaceflights.
C. He found pleasure in space science.
D. He threw himself into designing pressure suits.
9. What does the underlined word “rush” in paragraph 3 refer to?
A.Excitement. B. Surprise. C. Fear. D. Disappointment.
10. Which of the following can best describe the author's experience in deep space?
A. Dangerous and disorderly. B. Challenging but amazing.
C. Quite slow but romantic. D. Rather smooth and simple.
11. What would be the best title for the text?
A. Apollo 15 was the power of inspiration B. My first hair-raising space trip
C. A typical day in space D. I was among the lucky few to walk in space
【答案】主题语境:人与自我——做事
本文是记叙文。美国宇航员阿尔弗莱德·沃尔登讲述了自己在乘坐阿波罗15号飞船返回地球途中进行的一次太空行走任务。
8. A。理解具体信息。根据第一段中的Because it was a new activity, an incredible amount of preparation went into it和第二段中的I evaluated the entire plan in terms of safety and results ... Once all this preflight work was finished, the actual spacewalk was easy and completed in a short time可知,作者为这次太空之旅做了充分的准备。补充:在阿波罗15号返程途中,沃尔登会进行第一次太空行走,这是为了取回服务舱外科学设备舱中的胶片,将其带到指挥舱,以便它们能在返回地球的途中保存下来。
9.C。理解词汇。根据第三段中的because I was then completely dependent on the pressure ... but this was for real and I had to do it just right可知,虽然作者在地球上曾经接受过很多次类似的训练,但是这毕竟是一次真正的出舱行动,所以他还是有点害怕。
10. B。推断。根据倒数第二段中的I concentrated on reaching for the handholds ... Turning around again I made my way back to the hatch和最后一段中的It was the most unbelievable sight one could imagine可知,出舱活动对宇航员具有极大的挑战性,但同时他也看到了太空中壮丽的景观。
11. D。理解主旨要义。根据第二段中的I had the pleasure of being outside the spacecraft for 38 minutes和最后一段的内容可知,作者对自己在太空行走的经历和感受进行了描述,他认为自己能目睹太空中壮丽的景观是非常幸运的。由此可见,D项最能概括该主旨大意,适合作本文标题。

(广西壮族自治区柳州市柳城县柳城县中学2024-2025学年高二上学期11月期中)What you do after studying could have a big influence on how well you learn and remember. Today on Education Tips, we will explore two no-cost ways that can help you improve your learning: wakeful rest and sleep.
When many students finish studying, they often go straight to another activity. Perhaps they look at their phone or computer. They might even play a video game or watch television. But research suggests that resting after your study may help you remember what you have studied.
The basic idea is this: by stopping your activity after the study, your brain gets a chance to rest. Resting is difficult when you are playing computer games.
While this might sound unusual to you, many studies have explored the benefits of resting after learning — what is called “wakeful rest”.
A 2019 study found that both young and older adults were able to better remember information they learned after doing wakeful rest.
If you want to give “wakeful rest” a try, here are a few simple things to do. Rest quietly for five to ten minutes. Do not look at your phone, read stories or play games. It is really that easy!
Besides wakeful rest, sleep is also important for learning. The Division of Sleep Medicine at Harvard Medical School (HMS) notes that sleep helps people to learn in two ways. A report on the school’s website explains that “a sleep-deprived person cannot focus attention well and therefore cannot learn well.” It also says, “Sleep itself helps us to memorize and that memorizing is very important for learning new information. ”
The National Sleep Foundation (NSF) suggests that adults between the ages of 20 and 64 get about between 6 and 7 hours of sleep per day. Teenagers may need a little bit more, and people over the age of 65 may need a little less.
Try to get some “wakeful rest” after a study. Then try to get a good night’s sleep. That’s it — a simple, no-cost way to help you remember what you learn.
12. According to the research, shortly after studying students are recommended ______
A. to take a wakeful rest. B. to play a video game.
C. to have a nice sleep at night. D. to read a newspaper.
13. What’s paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. The importance of sleep. B. The types of resting activities.
C. The good ways to get a rest. D. The reason for having a rest.
14. How long should teenagers sleep each day according to NSF?
A. Less than 6 hours. B. No more than 7 hours.
C. Around 8 hours. D. Just 7 hours.
15 What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Low-cost Tips on Working. B. Good Things to Do After Your Study.
C. Why Do We Need to Have a Good Sleep? D. How Long Should We Rest After Learning?
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. C 15. B
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章通过科学研究成果来阐述学习之后进行清醒休息和睡眠的重要性,并对如何进行清醒休息提出了简单易行的方法,同时还介绍了不同年龄段人群睡眠时长的建议。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“But research suggests that resting after your study may help you remember what you have studied. (但是研究表明,学习后休息可能有助于你记住所学内容。)”以及第五段“A 2019 study found that both young and older adults were able to better remember information they learned after doing wakeful rest. (2019年的一项研究发现,年轻人和老年人在进行清醒休息后都能更好地记住他们所学的信息。)”可知,研究表明学习后短暂休息一下(清醒休息)有助于记忆所学内容,所以推荐学生在学习后进行清醒休息,故选A项。
【13题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段“The basic idea is this: by stopping your activity after the study, your brain gets a chance to rest. Resting is difficult when you are playing computer games. (基本的想法是这样的:在学习后停止你的活动,你的大脑就有机会休息。当你在玩电脑游戏时,休息是很困难的。)”可知,本段主要讲了学习后停止活动让大脑有机会休息的基本理念,以及玩电脑游戏时休息比较困难,这是在解释为什么学习后要休息,故选D项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“The National Sleep Foundation (NSF) suggests that adults between the ages of 20 and 64 get about between 6 and 7 hours of sleep per day. Teenagers may need a little bit more, and people over the age of 65 may need a little less. (美国国家睡眠基金会(NSF)建议20至64岁的成年人每天大约有6到7小时的睡眠时间。青少年可能需要多一点,而65岁以上的人可能需要少一点。)”可知,青少年可能需要比成年人更多一点的睡眠,所以大约8小时左右,故选C项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Today on Education Tips, we will explore two no-cost ways that can help you improve your learning: wakeful rest and sleep. (今天在《教育小贴士》中,我们将探讨两种无需成本的方法,它们可以帮助你提高学习效果:清醒时的休息和睡眠。)”可知,文章主要介绍学习后可以做的两件有助于学习的事:清醒休息和睡眠,B项“Good Things to Do After Your Study. (学习后要做的好事。)”最能概括全文,故选B项。

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章是关于中国月球车在月球上发现奇怪立方体物体的报道,介绍了月球车将改变路线去查看该物体,以及对该物体可能是什么的一些推测等相关情况。
【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:一辆月球车发现了一个奇怪的立方体形状的物体,并将改变其官方路线去查看,需要两到三个月才能到达。空白处在句子中使用非谓语动词,因空白处表示的是一个指向将来的不确定的动作,使用动词不定式,补充说明主语。故填to arrive。
【37题详解】
考查形容词。句意:官方观测表明,它可能是一颗小行星撞击时向上推起的岩石(小行星显然落在它旁边),或者是之前人类探索留下的技术遗物,或者希望是一些无法解释的东西。修饰名词relic要用形容词,technology的形容词形式是technological,故填technological。
【38题详解】
考查名词。句意:同上。根据空前的human可知,此处应填名词作from的宾语,explore的名词形式是exploration,故填exploration。
【39题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:“在黑暗深邃的天空下,一圈蜿蜒的山脉矗立在天空和月球的延长线上。驾驶员们放大了图片,慢慢地逐一欣赏。” 与中国国家航天局有关联的中文博客“我们的太空”写道。此处应填非谓语动词作伴随状语,主语the drivers与admire之间是逻辑上的主谓关系,所以用现在分词形式,故填admiring。
【40题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意同上。此处应填非谓语动词作后置定语,修饰blog,blog与associate之间是逻辑上的动宾关系,所以用过去分词形式,故填associated。
【41题详解】
考查冠词。句意:几天后,摄像机拍摄了一张该立方体的照片与全世界分享。image是可数名词,此处表示“一张照片”,且image的发音以元音音素开头,所以用不定冠词an,故填an。
【42题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:这篇博客文章认为它可能是之前月球任务的证据,但也指出立方体旁边有一个小撞击坑,撞击可能导致岩石向上推起。此处与 suggested并列作谓语,因句子表示的是一个过去发生的动作,所以用一般过去时,故填noted。
【43题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:同上。此处是一个包含定语从句的复合句,先行词是a small impact hole,指物,且在从句中作主语,所以用关系代词which引导,故填which。
【44题详解】
考查介词。句意:中国的玉兔2号月球车与嫦娥4号一起着陆,这是有史以来第一批在月球背面着陆的两艘航天器。land on为固定短语,含义为“在……上降落”,符合句意,故填on。
【45题详解】
考查副词。句意:自 2019 年它们到达以来,实际上它们一直独占此地。空白处在句子中做状语要用副词,virtual的副词形式是virtually,故填virtually。

A Reason to Run
Justin and his friend David had known each other before they became classmates. David didn’t seem to mind that Justin was small for his age. But on the first day of school, when David and Justin had lunch with the rest of the fifth-grade boys, Steven asked when David had started playing with babies. David laughed out loud and Justin felt uneasy.
Several weeks later, David called to invite Justin to his birthday party at his grandfather’s farm. Justin didn’t want to go. He had wanted to spend the day running. When he ran, the problems at school didn’t matter, and being the smallest kid in his class didn’t matter, either. So every day after school he practiced. And Saturday morning was the best time to run.
This Saturday, however, he reached the farm with Steven and the rest of David’s friends. David’s mother suggested that David show the boys around, so David asked his grandfather, Mr. Hamilton, to drive them to the foot of a hill. Mr. Hamilton left to prepare for the party. The boys decided to enter a cave, go out from a hole at its top, climb the hill and then hike back.
The entrance to the cave was a big stone room with huge wooden beams(梁) bordering the doorway. About thirty feet in was a wall of rocks blocking further entrance. From the hole in the ceiling, light shone on the back wall. David started to show the boys how to climb up the back wall. “Let me go first,” Steven demanded. He grabbed David’s belt and pulled him off the rock, throwing him into Rafael.
“Watch it!” shouted David, But it was too late. He and Rafael fell hard against a beam and the wood started to crack, A second later the beam fell. Then part of the ceiling collapsed. Dust filled the air. When the dust finally settled, the six boys found themselves trapped in the cave and the only exit was the hole in the ceiling, which became smaller - too small for anyone to go out, Worse still,a stream of water was flowing into the cave.
注意:1.续写词数应为150个左右;2.请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
Justin looked up at the hole and said, “I might be small enough to get out.”

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Justin looked up at the hole and said, I might be small enough to get out. He volunteered to have a try. He climbed slowly up the back wall and, with some effort, managed to go through the opening. Once outside, he took off towards the farm at full speed. After five minutes, he slowed downed a little until he could get regular step. That was what he would have done in a real race, but he wasn’t practicing anymore. He began counting the trees he passed. He got a regular pace and then picked up speed. He ran as he had never run before.
Suddenly, Justin saw the farmhouse. “Mr. Hamilton! Hurry! Everyone is trapped in the cave.” Without wasting a moment, Mr. Hamilton left for the cave while David’s mom called the police. By the time Justin and David’s mom reached the hill, the police had cleared the small opening and were pulling the boys out. Everyone was OK. Steven approached Justin and said “I sincerely apologize for making fun of you. It’s amazing how quickly you managed to get help.” “Apology accepted. Running at that speed was no big deal,” Justin replied, feeling a sense of pride in his body shape for the first time.
【导语】本文以事故发生的情节为线索展开,讲述了Justin和他的朋友David在成为同学前就认识了,Justin的年龄较小,个子不高,由于其他同学的一个笑话使得Justin有些不安,他每天都在跑步,这样就不会在想学校的问题了,在一个星期六,David 邀请他去农场参加他的生日派对,David带着几个伙伴进入了一个洞穴,在跨越洞穴入口的一个石头房间时发生了意外,大家被困在洞穴的故事。

(定远县第二中学2024~2025学年度高二第一学期第二次教学质量监测)Finnish Lapland, in the far north of Europe, is home to some 180, 000 people and around200, 000 reindeer (驯鹿) . The animals live wild but each one has an owner, identified by a mark on its ear. Anne Ollila, 50, one of 4, 000 such owners, works in the Finnish part of this region with her husband and two adult sons and their families. They farm the animals mainly for meat, but reindeer tourism has also become an important source of income.
Ollila lives 80 kilometres inside the Arctic Circle, an hour from Lapland's capital city, Rovaniemi, and seven kilometres from her nearest neighbour. Summer days—when the reindeer raisers earmark newborn reindeer—are long and in June the sun never sets. At that time Ollila sleeps during the day and walks up to 20 kilometres a night through the forest, making the most of the cooler temperatures to do her work but having to endure large groups of insects along the way.
In deepest winter, there is little daylight. Many grasslands are frozen and the reindeer move into the forest for protection against wolves and golden eagles— the birds can kill an adult reindeer.
Ollila and her family offer tourists reindeer experiences through their company Reindeer Journey. Visitors can get close to the animals in the wild or at their farm, watching them being trained to pull sledges (雪橇) or take a sleigh ride.
“Reindeer are very smart animals, ” Ollila says. “They have different personalities, and some are very funny. ” One of her favourites is Rocky, named after the movie boxing legend. “He's very curious and always in trouble, ” she says. “He once got himself stuck in tree branches and had to be lifted out, and he has been known to walk off with his owners' drying underwear. ”
Ollila gave up her job as a sociology researcher at the University of Lapland in 2010 to devote herself to raising reindeer. “I love the environment, the animals and the freedom, ” she says. “Also, I have a sense of belonging to something bigger than me, to a way of life through the generations. ”
4. What does the underlined word “endure” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Go away with. B. Put up with. C. Look forward to. D. Catch up with.

(2024年秋季福建省永春二中晋江内坑中学等五校高二期中联考)Apollo 15 was the first flight to the moon that included a spacewalk. On our return trip to Earth, we needed to recover film canisters (胶卷盒) from the service module. Because it was a new activity, an incredible amount of preparation went into it.
I evaluated the entire plan in terms of safety and results. During our preflight analysis, we installed (安装) a warning tone in the suit in the event of low oxygen pressure and we simplified the method of returning the canisters to the Command Module. Once all this preflight work was finished, the actual spacewalk was easy and completed in a short time. I had the pleasure of being outside the spacecraft for 38 minutes, and here's how we did it.
We started suiting up an hour or so before the actual spacewalk. I got a little rush as the Command Module was depressurizing because I was then completely dependent on the pressure in the suit to keep me alive. I had practiced this process many times on Earth, but this was for real and I had to do it just right. Once the cabin (机舱) pressure went to zero, we opened the hatch and went out.
What a feeling to be free in deep space. I concentrated on reaching for the handholds as I made my way to the back of the service module so I would not float away. I had a small problem right away. The high-resolution camera was stuck out in its extended position. I had to go over the camera to get to the film canister. I reached the canister, put a safety clip (安全扣) on it, attached by a tether (拴绳) to my arm, and pulled it out of the machine. Turning around again I made my way back to the hatch. So far, a piece of cake. After another two trips, I finished my task.
Just by turning my head I could position myself so that both the Earth and the Moon were in my field of vision. It was the most unbelievable sight one could imagine. I realized that no one in all of history had ever seen this sight before. What an honor it was.
8. What can be learned about the author from paragraph 2?
A. He was well-prepared before the flight.
B. He became addicted to spaceflights.
C. He found pleasure in space science.
D. He threw himself into designing pressure suits.
9. What does the underlined word “rush” in paragraph 3 refer to?
A.Excitement. B. Surprise. C. Fear. D. Disappointment.
10. Which of the following can best describe the author's experience in deep space?
A. Dangerous and disorderly. B. Challenging but amazing.
C. Quite slow but romantic. D. Rather smooth and simple.
11. What would be the best title for the text?
A. Apollo 15 was the power of inspiration B. My first hair-raising space trip
C. A typical day in space D. I was among the lucky few to walk in space

(广西壮族自治区柳州市柳城县柳城县中学2024-2025学年高二上学期11月期中)What you do after studying could have a big influence on how well you learn and remember. Today on Education Tips, we will explore two no-cost ways that can help you improve your learning: wakeful rest and sleep.
When many students finish studying, they often go straight to another activity. Perhaps they look at their phone or computer. They might even play a video game or watch television. But research suggests that resting after your study may help you remember what you have studied.
The basic idea is this: by stopping your activity after the study, your brain gets a chance to rest. Resting is difficult when you are playing computer games.
While this might sound unusual to you, many studies have explored the benefits of resting after learning — what is called “wakeful rest”.
A 2019 study found that both young and older adults were able to better remember information they learned after doing wakeful rest.
If you want to give “wakeful rest” a try, here are a few simple things to do. Rest quietly for five to ten minutes. Do not look at your phone, read stories or play games. It is really that easy!
Besides wakeful rest, sleep is also important for learning. The Division of Sleep Medicine at Harvard Medical School (HMS) notes that sleep helps people to learn in two ways. A report on the school’s website explains that “a sleep-deprived person cannot focus attention well and therefore cannot learn well.” It also says, “Sleep itself helps us to memorize and that memorizing is very important for learning new information. ”
The National Sleep Foundation (NSF) suggests that adults between the ages of 20 and 64 get about between 6 and 7 hours of sleep per day. Teenagers may need a little bit more, and people over the age of 65 may need a little less.
Try to get some “wakeful rest” after a study. Then try to get a good night’s sleep. That’s it — a simple, no-cost way to help you remember what you learn.
12. According to the research, shortly after studying students are recommended ______
A. to take a wakeful rest. B. to play a video game.
C. to have a nice sleep at night. D. to read a newspaper.
13. What’s paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. The importance of sleep. B. The types of resting activities.
C. The good ways to get a rest. D. The reason for having a rest.
14. How long should teenagers sleep each day according to NSF?
A. Less than 6 hours. B. No more than 7 hours.
C. Around 8 hours. D. Just 7 hours.
15 What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Low-cost Tips on Working. B. Good Things to Do After Your Study.
C. Why Do We Need to Have a Good Sleep? D. How Long Should We Rest After Learning?
