After years of observing the sky,Zhang Heng was able to draw a very detailed map of the stars. His star map showed 124 constellations()with a total of 2,500 stars,320 of which were bright stars with known names as of today.He also gave proper explanation to the world for the first time on the moon eclipse(月食)， 高二·英语第3页（共8页） Zhang was also a famous and talented poet and wrote more than twenty beautiful poems.He has continued the influence on ancient Chinese culture.His works titled Dong Jing Glimpse and Xi Jing Glimpse have lively described about the local culture and folk art performances in the cities of Xi'an and Luoyang. 24.What is Zhang Heng famous as?

C In the movie "The Wrong Trousers",a pair of futuristic trousers lets people walk on walls and ceilings.Inspired by the movie,researchers in England developed "The Right Trousers",a set of trousers embedded()with electrical pumps to force air into tiny tubes that expand and can help elderly or disabled people with issues like getting up or improving blood flow.Now,material scientists, computer programmers and fabric designers are working to advance robotic clothing. In June,researchers in Australia created robotic fibers,which can make fabric move automatically.Last year,scientists at MIT built fiber batteries that could be embedded into clothes and power robotie clothing.In recent years,Google partnered with brands like Levi's and Adidas to put sensors in jackets,backpacks and shoes,letting users access their phones instantly.Researchers said they could soon unlock a stage where clothing will act more like a computer,sensing how your body feels and telling your clothes how to help. At the University of New South Wales in Australia,researchers are creating fabrics that can shape-shift.Thanh Nho Do,a senior lecturer at the school,said his team has created tiny tubes that can weave()into sheets of fabric.These tubes can make fabric take various preprogrammed shapes.But challenges still remain for Do's team,especially around making these robotic tubes smaller so they can weave easily with other fabrics. Rebecca Kramer Bottiglio from Yale University agreed that many challenges remain before smart clothing "reaches their full potential"."It will be challenging to make these clothes,equipped with fibers and technology,strong enough to go through multiple cycles in the laundry(诜衣房)，”she 高二·英语第4页（共8页） said.Despite that,she says researchers will figure out a way forward."Recent breakthroughs point toward a not-so-distant future where smart clothing will be a part of our everyday life."she said. 28.What led to the creation of "The Right Trousers"? A.A creative film.B.An electrical pump.C.A health issue. D.A tiny tube. 29.What did scientists at MIT do last year? A.They put sensors in clothes. B.They created movable robotic fibers C.They made batteries for robotic clothing. D.They released smart clothing connected to cellphones. 30.What does Thanh Nho Do's team find challenging? A.Reducing the size of robotic tubes. B.Keeping robotic tubes'shape unchanged. C.Programming the shape of robotic tubes. D.Weaving robotic tubes into various fabrics. 31.What is Rebecca's attitude toward the future of smart clothing? A.Doubtful. B.Hopeful. C.Worried. D.Indifferent. D We know that fruits and vegetables can help to keep our bodies healthy.According to a new study,eating fruits in middle age could also help to reduce the chances of developing depression later in life though we should pay attention to the amount of fruits we eat. Researchers from China and Singapore wanted to find out more about whether eating fruits and vegetables could have an effect on our mental health.They looked at more than 13,700 Chinese adults who were living in Singapore.The study period began between 1993 and 1998 when the Chinese adults were aged between 45 and 74.Everyone was asked about the fruits and vegetables they liked to eat.14 fruits and 25 types of vegetables were included in the questionnaire. The Chinese adults were followed for an average of almost 20 years.By this time,they were aged between 61 and 96.They were asked to complete a questionnaire that could decide whether older people develop depression.At the end of the study period,almost 3,200 people had the feeling of depression. The researchers found that higher consumption of fruits during middle age was connected with a lower probability of developing depression in late life.Those who ate the most fruits were 29%less likely to develop depression compared to those who ate the least.However,they didn't find any connection between eating vegetables and developing depression. It was suggested that the reason for this may be that fruits are usually eaten raw,while vegetables are often cooked.Cooking vegetables might limit the "protective effects"of the nutrients in the foods, the researchers suggested,although they said more research was needed. All types of fruits were found to have an effect,especially oranges,bananas,papayas and watermelons. 32.How is the study conducted? A.By talking with people living in China. B.By filling in the questionnaire in a lab. C.By comparing fruits to many vegetables. D.By researching subjects for a long time 33.What does the underlined word"questionnaire"in Paragraph 2 mean in Chinese? A.试卷 B.问卷 C.著作 D.档案 34.What do we know about the influence of vegetables on depression? A.They prove better than fruits. B.They are the key to treating depression. C.Researchers have got no related proof. D.Cooking them influences mental health. 高二·英语第5页（共8页） 35.What might be talked about in the following paragraphs? A.Exploring the correct methods of cooking vegetables. B.Describing different fruits recommended by the doctor. C.Further discussing why fruits could decrease depression. D.Explaining how vegetables damage nutrients in the foods. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。 So you want to know how to look more confident and think body language is the key?Well,if that's the case,then you've come to the right place!36 We will take a look at some of them. Make Eye Contact. One of the first aspects of body language we must learn is eye contact.This is a balancing act if you don't know how to do this.37 Most people will follow your eyes when in a conversation,so it's important to get it right. Keep Your Chin Up. Do you look at the ground when you are walking?38 If this is the case,make a change. Walk with your head up and your eyes looking forward.Keeping your head up and facing your conversation partner conveys interest,confidence and other prosocial emotions. 39 How you carry yourself will show the world how you feel-think about it:When you're feeling down,you may walk with your head down and everything becomes a drag.When you're feeling confident,you may stand a little taller.Standing up straight will also lift your mood and start to build that all-important confidence within. Don't Fidget(坐立不安). 40 Nervous movements,like bouncing your knees or tapping your fingers on a table draw attention away from what you are saying and make it hard for others to focus on your message.Other people may think you're nervous or stressed if they see you doing these.This will make you seem less confident and authoritative. A.Standing Up Straight. B.Slow Your Movements. C.Do you care about what other people think? D.Is your head always down when you are talking? E.You need to know where to look and when to look. F.Fidgeting is an obvious sign of anxiety and nervousness.

Last month,we visited a national park with the intention of hiking to a location known for its stone text.After many difficulties,we found only one site within the park was open to visitors.To enjoy the stone text in the mountains,we needed to finish a 2.5-mile path,which started from the museum of the park.2.5 miles didn't sound like a very long hike.We were both just in our seventies but fairly fit,and we thought we could easily do 2.5 miles.However,the worker in the museum warned us that the first mile of the path was steep()and rocky and that it could be very challenging.But we ignored her warning and made up our minds to go. "2.5 miles is not a big deal.Surely,we could do it if we wear proper boots and start early tomorrow morning,"I whispered to my husband lightheartedly. The next morning,my husband and I got up early.Before starting our hike,we first reached a place that served breakfast.There,we found a family of three,a young man named Walter,his wife and sister.They would also take the path to watch the stone text.They were warm and friendly and we chatted happily for a while.Before they set off,Walter said that he would see us at the stairs,and we thought no more about it.Twenty minutes later,we also started hiking. The trail started well and it was pretty much downhill all the way.Then it became more and more challenging.The path became extremely steep and was blocked here and there by huge slippery( )rocks,which made each step forward an adventure. 注意：1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 As we pushed on,the hike became even tougher.

C In the movie “The Wrong Trousers”, a pair of futuristic trousers lets people walk on walls and ceilings. Inspired by the movie, researchers in England developed “The Right Trousers”, a set of trousers embedded(嵌入) with electrical pumps to force air into tiny tubes that expand and can help elderly or disabled people with issues like getting up or improving blood flow. Now, material scientists, computer programmers and fabric designers are working to advance robotic clothing. In June, researchers in Australia created robotic fibers, which can make fabric move automatically. Last year, scientists at MIT built fiber batteries that could be embedded into clothes and power robotic clothing. In recent years, Google partnered with brands like Levi's and Adidas to put sensors in jackets, backpacks and shoes, letting users access their phones instantly. Researchers said they could soon unlock a stage where clothing will act more like a computer, sensing how your body feels and telling your clothes how to help. At the University of New South Wales in Australia, researchers are creating fabrics that can shape-shift. Thanh Nho Do, a senior lecturer at the school, said his team has created tiny tubes that can weave(编织) into sheets of fabric. These tubes can make fabric take various preprogrammed shapes. But challenges still remain for Do's team, especially around making these robotic tubes smaller so they can weave easily with other fabrics. Rebecca Kramer Bottiglio from Yale University agreed that many challenges remain before smart clothing “reaches their full potential”. “It will be challenging to make these clothes, equipped with fibers and technology, strong enough to go through multiple cycles in the laundry(洗衣房),” she 高二·英语 第4页(共8页) said. Despite that, she says researchers will figure out a way forward. “Recent breakthroughs point toward a not-so-distant future where smart clothing will be a part of our everyday life.” she said. 28. What led to the creation of “The Right Trousers”? A. A creative film. B. An electrical pump. C. A health issue. D. A tiny tube. 29. What did scientists at MIT do last year? A. They put sensors in clothes. B. They created movable robotic fibers. C. They made batteries for robotic clothing. D. They released smart clothing connected to cellphones. 30. What does Thanh Nho Do's team find challenging? A. Reducing the size of robotic tubes. B. Keeping robotic tubes' shape unchanged. C. Programming the shape of robotic tubes. D. Weaving robotic tubes into various fabrics. 31. What is Rebecca's attitude toward the future of smart clothing? A. Doubtful. B. Hopeful. C. Worried. D. Indifferent. D We know that fruits and vegetables can help to keep our bodies healthy. According to a new study, eating fruits in middle age could also help to reduce the chances of developing depression later in life though we should pay attention to the amount of fruits we eat. Researchers from China and Singapore wanted to find out more about whether eating fruits and vegetables could have an effect on our mental health. They looked at more than 13,700 Chinese adults who were living in Singapore. The study period began between 1993 and 1998 when the Chinese adults were aged between 45 and 74. Everyone was asked about the fruits and vegetables they liked to eat.14fruits and 25 types of vegetables were included in the questionnaire. The Chinese adults were followed for an average of almost 20 years. By this time , they were aged between 61 and 96. They were asked to complete a questionnaire that could decide whether older people develop depression. At the end of the study period, almost 3,200 people had the feeling of depression. The researchers found that higher consumption of fruits during middle age was connected with a lower probability of developing depression in late life. Those who ate the most fruits were 29% less likely to develop depression compared to those who ate the least. However, they didn't find any connection between eating vegetables and developing depression. It was suggested that the reason for this may be that fruits are usually eaten raw, while vegetables are often cooked. Cooking vegetables might limit the “protective effects” of the nutrients in the foods, the researchers suggested, although they said more research was needed. All types of fruits were found to have an effect, especially oranges, bananas, papayas and watermelons. 32. How is the study conducted? A. By talking with people living in China. B. By filling in the questionnaire in a lab. C. By comparing fruits to many vegetables. D. By researching subjects for a long time. 33. What does the underlined word “questionnaire” in Paragraph 2 mean in Chinese? A.试卷 B.问卷 C.著作 D.档案 34. What do we know about the influence of vegetables on depression? A. They prove better than fruits. B. They are the key to treating depression. C. Researchers have got no related proof. D. Cooking them influences mental health. 高二·英语 第5页(共8页) 35. What might be talked about in the following paragraphs? A. Exploring the correct methods of cooking vegetables. B. Describing different fruits recommended by the doctor. C. Further discussing why fruits could decrease depression. D. Explaining how vegetables damage nutrients in the foods. 第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。 So you want to know how to look more confident and think body language is the key?

We are interested in the challenge and beauty of mountain trails(小路), especially those that lead to sites of historical and cultural significance. Our love for hiking began shortly after we got married, and it has been a passion of ours for many years. Last month, we visited a national park with the intention of hiking to a location known for its stone text. After many difficulties, we found only one site within the park was open to visitors. To enjoy the stone text in the mountains, we needed to finish a 2.5-mile path, which started from the museum of the park.2.5 miles didn't sound like a very long hike. We were both just in our seventies but fairly fit, and we thought we could easily do 2.5 miles. However, the worker in the museum warned us that the first mile of the path was steep(陡峭的) and rocky and that it could be very challenging. But we ignored her warning and made up our minds to go. “2.5 miles is not a big deal. Surely, we could do it if we wear proper boots and start early tomorrow morning,” I whispered to my husband lightheartedly. The next morning, my husband and I got up early. Before starting our hike, we first reached a place that served breakfast. There, we found a family of three, a young man named Walter, his wife and sister. They would also take the path to watch the stone text. They were warm and friendly and we chatted happily for a while. Before they set off, Walter said that he would see us at the stairs, and we thought no more about it. Twenty minutes later, we also started hiking. The trail started well and it was pretty much downhill all the way. Then it became more and more challenging. The path became extremely steep and was blocked here and there by huge slippery(湿滑的) rocks, which made each step forward an adventure. 注意：1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 As we pushed on, the hike became even tougher. When Walter saw us, he rushed to help us. 高二·英语 第8页(共8页) 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$2024一2025学年第一学期期末监测 高二英语 听力 第一节 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。 Text 1 M:Are you going to spend this summer in Australia?
