B My wife and I moved into our home nine years ago. We have a yard a “rock garden”. There the rocks appear to be just thrown up onto the dirt as if someone were in a hurry to finish. Very often when we have more flowers, Denise or I would plant them between the rocks, just to bring some color to the area. Last summer I found, in the rock garden, a tiny little plant that I could not immediately recognize. I knew I didn’t plant it and Denise said she didn’t either. We decided to let it continue growing until we could find out what it was. Weeks passed and as I made my way back to the strange plant, it appeared to be a sunflower. It looked thin and tall with only one head on it. I decided to baby it along and weed (除草) around it. As I pulled rocks from the area to get to the weeds, I noticed something unusual. The sunflower had not started where I saw it begin. It actually had begun under a big rock and grown under and around it to reach the sun. If a tiny little sunflower didn’t let a big rock stand in its way of developing, we too have the ability to do the same thing. If we believe in ourselves like that little sunflower, we can reach where we aim to go and get what we need for growth. We need to believe in ourselves knowing we have the ability to achieve our goals. Like the sunflower, it knew it had the ability to get over the rocks because it had faith in itself that it would succeed. Stand tall like the sunflower and be proud of who and what we are, then other things will begin to support us. We will find a way to go under or around any “rocks” in order to realize our goals. 51. The family planted flowers in the yard ________. A. to attract visitors B. to remove the rocks C. to please their neighbors D. to make the area colorful 52. The author let the tiny plant continue growing ________ . A. to see how long it could live B. to see how big it could grow C. to find out what it actually was D. to know if his wife had planted it 53. The author think the sunflower was unusual because ________. A. it was very thin and tall B. it had only one head on it C. it grew on top of a big rock D. it began to grow under a rock 54. We can conclude from the passage that ________. A. rocks cannot prevent us from success B. we can get over difficulties if we trust ourselves C. we should take good care of the rock gardens D. sunflowers are able to grow everywhere 55. Which is the best title of the passage? A. Stand Tall Like the Sunflower B. The Sunflower and My Family C. Being Proud of the Sunflower D. The Secret of the Sunflower C Imagine shopping for clothes online and being able to run your hand across the screen of your computer or smartphone to feel the materials. That kind of simulation (仿真) technology could be available within the next five years. “We’re talking about reinventing how computers interact with humans” said Bernie Meyerson, IBM Vice President. Extending our sense of touch is one of the innovations that IBM believes will change the world in the next five years, according to the company’s annual “Five in Five” list. Smart machines will also be able to listen to the environment and highlight the sounds we care about most. For instance, an advanced speech recognition (识别) system will tell new parents why their baby is crying. This kind of thing is not possible today, but with an advanced enough system, it’s actually possible. In the near future, personal computers will be able to do more than recognize images and visual data. Their built-in cameras will be able to analyze features such as colors, and understand the meaning of visual media, such as knowing how to sort family photos. Smart machines will also be able to smell. If you sneeze (打喷嚏) on your computer or cellphone, tiny sensors (传感器) in the machine will be able to analyze thousands of molecules (分子) in your breath. “It can give you an alarm and says, ‘Hey, you are probably sick, go to see your doctor immediately.’” Meyerson says. Mark Maloo is a computer science professor from Georgetown University. He hopes the advances will encourage more students to study science, technology, engineering and math, preparing them to play a crucial part in future innovations. He believes there’s little doubt that advances in computer technology over the next five years will make what now seems like science fiction a part of our everyday lives. 56. In the future, if you buy clothes online, you may ________ A. turn to your computer for some advice B. save a lot of money by using a smartphone C. ask your computer to make the decision for you D. feel the materials of the clothes by touching the screen 57. How will a smart machine figure out that you are probably sick? A. By referring your condition to doctors. B. By sneezing your computer or cellphone. C. By asking you to describe how you feel. D. By analyzing the thousands of molecules in your breath. 58. According to the passage, which of the following is true? A. Smart machines can serve as an assistant to help comfort the crying children. B. IBM attaches importance to the interaction between computers and humans. C. Personal computers can understand the meaning of visual media at present. D. Smart machines can help you make an appointment with the doctors. 59. What can we infer from the passage? A. Personal computers can only be used to recognize images. B. Extending the sense of touch is the key research of Mark Maloo. C. Students will probably play an important role in future innovatious. D. The advanced speech recognition system is already available now. 60. The purpose of the passage is to show us ________ A. how smart machines will replace humans B. how technology will change our lives in the future C. how to go shopping with the help of the Internet D. why IBM wants to invent these smart machines 第四部分：写作(共两节，满分25分) 第一节：阅读表达(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 Grace Young grew up in San Francisco. When she was little, she used to watch her father shop daily in Chinatown for whatever he needed to make traditional Chinese meals at home. As an award-winning cookbook author, Ms. Young, now 66, has spent decades shopping the same way in New York’s Chinatown. Ms. Young developed a passion for cooking at an early age. At 13, she started to sit in on cooking classes. After college, Ms. Young moved to New York and worked in a book-packaging company. In her 30s, she realized that while she had helped create more than 40 cookbooks, she didn’t know how to make the dishes that tasted of home. “I knew if I recorded all of my parents’ recipes, it would be a great gift that I could give my family and the next generation.” she says. Yet what began as a recipe book became a kind of memoir (回忆录). Talking about food encouraged her parents to finally open up about their past, like the fact that her father had owned a Chinatown restaurant in the 1940s “It was really an amazing way to learn not only my family’s recipes, but also my family’s story.” she says. The Wisdom of the Chinese Kitchen (1999) launched (开始) Ms. Young’s work in preserving Chinese culinary (烹饪的) traditions. Ms. Young has also devoted herself to supporting the restaurants in Chinatown. Since early 2020, Ms. Young has raised money to buy meals from Chinatown restaurants and deliver them to those in need. This year, instead of cooking at home for her husband and friends, she celebrated the Chinese New Year with various dishes from local restaurants in Chinatown. “If these restaurants don’t survive, Chinese culinary traditions in our city won’t survive.” she says. 61. What is Ms. Young known as? (no more than 5 words) ________________________________________________________ 62. Why did Ms. Young want to record her parents’ recipes? (no more than 15 words) ________________________________________________________ 63. What does the underlined word mean in Paragraph 3? (1 word) ________________________________________________________ 64. What did Ms. Young do to help Chinatown restaurants this year? (no more than 15 words) ________________________________________________________ 65. What can you learn from Ms. Young? (no more than 20 words) ________________________________________________________ 第二节：书面表达(满分15分) 66. 假设你是晨光中学学生李津。你的英国笔友Christine发来邮件，询问在新技术的发展下，你的生活发生了怎样的变化。请按以下提示写封回信： (1)很高兴Christine对此话题感兴趣； (2)具体介绍生活各方面的变化(如交流方式、交通方式、学习方式等)； (3)个人感悟。 注意： (1)词数不少于100； (2)可适当加入细节，使内容充实、行文连贯。 Dear Christine, ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Jin 河北区2024-2025学年度第一学期期末高二年级质量检测 英语 第一部分：听力(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 第一节(共5小题;每小题1分，满分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，你将有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题答案】 【答案】B 【2题答案】 【答案】A 【3题答案】 【答案】A 【4题答案】 【答案】C 【5题答案】 【答案】C 第二节(共10小题;每小题1分，满分10分) 听下面几段材料。每段材料后有几个小题，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。听每段材料前，你将有时间阅读各个小题，每小题5秒钟; 听完后，各小题将给出5秒钟的作答时间。每段材料读两遍。 【6~8题答案】 【答案】6.

First, with the advent of smartphones and social media, we can stay connected with people from all over the world in real-time and even share photos, videos, and messages instantly. What’s more, we have access to high-speed trains, airplanes, and even electric cars can take us anywhere we need to go quickly and efficiently. Finally, technology has also transformed the way we learn and study. Online courses have made it possible for me to learn new skills and subjects from the comfort of my own home, without having to attend traditional classes. This has not only made learning more convenient but also more engaging and interactive. All in all, I like the way we live today and anticipate seeing how technology will continue to evolve and shape our lives in the future. Yours, Li Jin. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
