It is my great honour to stand here to share my viewpoint on “Eating and Health.” As is universally acknowledged, a lot remains to be debated as to what foods we should eat and how we should eat foods to stay healthy. To begin with, it is the moderate amount of sweet foods that we should restrict ourselves to on a daily basis. Only by this means will we take in the essentially-needed calories, as a result of which, we will stay away from the killer disease. Apart from that, with different categories of fresh foods consumed and with foods rich in protein eaten, our health is being boosted. In addition, eating slowly and consistently is what it takes to shape healthy eating, Actually, having a healthy attitude towards eating matters a lot. Put more simply, we eat to live, we don’t live to eat and we are what we eat . All things considered, do keep balanced and moderate eating and we will stay in shape.Thanks for your listening. 67.读后续写 One Possible Version: On seeing the scene, Jack had a sinking heart. Care-laden and anxiety-ridden, he tiptoed to approach the injured squirrel. In a split second, the entire forest came to a standstill, birds stopping singing and deer stopping eating. All creatures were looking forward to a prompt rescue. Jack tenderly cradled the squirrel in his hands, checking the sharp thorns trapping the creature tightly. Slowly and steadily, he started letting the squirrel go. Step by step, the thorns were removed, exposing the injured paw beneath. With the last thorn disappearing, the squirrel released a sigh of relief and its eyes reflected a gratitude. Free as the squirrel was, it didn’t run away in fright. On the contrary, without hesitation, the squirrel gazed at Jack as if to express its thanks. Then, in an elegant leap, it jumped up a tree and vanished into the forest. Days later, Jack again returned to the forest. Walking closer and closer to the depths of the forest, he was repeatedly engaged by those smart creatures. He was about to raise his camera and arrest another glimpse of the forest’s miracles when a familiar figure abruptly appeared in his frame. It was the very squirrel the he had saved. Under the tree stood the cameraman, Jack, whose eyes were reflecting friendliness. Delighted and excited, Jack greeted his old friend who had run down from the branch with excitement and snuggled against his feet. Quick as a flash, the entire forest was celebrating their reunion. The leaves were rustling gently, the birds were singing melodiously, the wind was whispering slowly and the deer were grazing happily. What a harmonious scene they were playing. 2 答案详解 A 21-23 C D B 本文是应用文。文章介绍了 2024年最值得体验的 4个英国音乐节日。 21. C 理解具体信息。根据四个音乐节标题中的时间可知 Forbidden Forest Festival开放时间最早May 31。 其余在六月或者八月。C选项正确。 22.

She picks up a small rock and rolls it in her hand. “Half-rounded, freckled” she announces 和 Fabienne Meier ... records the data in a waterproof yellow notebook, along with the rock's measurements in centimeters: 5.1, 7.7, 3.6可知，Watts和Meier 正在户外进行研究。 25.

D 推理判断题。由文章第二段“But then, beginning around 1960, adults began taking away that freedom by increasing the time that children had to spend at schoolwork and, even more significantly, by reducing children's freedom to play on their own.”可知，家长为了让学生把更多的事件花费在学习上，开始减少孩子们的玩耍时 间，故 D项正确。 29.

A 推理判断题。由文章最后一段 “In recent decades we as a society have been conducting a play-deprivation experiment with our children.” 及下文 “Play deprivation is bad for children. Among other things, it promotes anxiety, depression, and narcissism. It’s time to end the experiment.”可知，bad for children与 anxiety, depression,and narcissism是上文所提到的 play-deprivation experiment的结果。由此可推断，划线句的意思是 “我认为各种后果已经显现”。A项正确。 31. C 写作目的题。由文章最后一段 “If we love our children and want them to develop well, we must allow 3 them more time and opportunity to play, not less.”及最后一句 “It's time to end the experiment.”可知，作者写本文 的落脚点在于呼吁全社会给予孩子们更多时间玩耍，故 C项正确。 D 32-35 BACD 本文是一篇说明文。英国程序员约书亚·布劳德只有 19岁，他开发的新程序——世界上第一个机器人律 师，能帮人们省下不少法律费用。用户询问的一些法律问题，机器人程序都可以自动生成相关答案，而且 此项服务是免费的。 32. B 事实细节题。根据第一段中的 “He came up with the idea after getting a series of tickets himself. Having wasted hours on writing appeals to these tickets, he realized that many people have no time or legal knowledge to appeal. So he decided to create a robot lawyer, which he named DoNotPay.”可知,在约书亚·布劳德 自己收到很多罚单，并且浪费了一些时间写上诉书后,他意识到很多人并没有时间和法律知识对这些罚单进 行上诉,所以他决定开发一个自动申诉生成器，即机器人律师。由此可知，他自己的经历给了他灵感，故 B 正确。 33. A 推理判断题。第二段主要介绍了 DoNotPay的各项功能，故 A正确。 34. C 推理判断题。根据第三段中的 “To use the service, users need to go to the website donotpay.co.uk and sign up for free”可知，使用这项服务，用户首先需要在 donotpay.co.uk网站上注册，故 C正确 35. D主旨大意题。整个文章介绍了 DoNotPay这个机器人律师的研发过程，故 D正确。 七选五 36-40 CDEGF 【导语】原创题，选自扇贝英语 2023年 9月 11日美文，这是一篇议论文。文章主要分享了连续 90天 写日记，我对人生的感悟。 36. C 根据上文“one that required neither a backpack nor a plane ticket.”和下文“I decided to commit to journaling every single day for 90 days, come rain or shine.”可知，C选项解释旅游所需要的是笔记本和笔，为 journaling做准备，符合语境。 37. D 根据小标题“I'm a great listener”和上文“Most of us spend our days listening to others”可知，“大多数 人多数时间在听别人讲话，别人的声音盖过自己的”，与下文“my inner self to be heard”对比，写日志学会倾 听自己的内心，故选 D。 38. E 根据“My mind is an ocean”可知“ocean”有时 calm,有时 stormy。从上文“Some days, my journal entries were as calm as a peaceful ocean.”和下文“our minds, much like the ocean, have ebbs and flows（涨落）,” 可知，用对比的方法“Some days,.....; On others(=other days)”介绍 my journal entries 的特点，E符合语境。 39. G 根据“Journaling enabled me to see my past in a new light. Mistakes were not destructive failures, but stepping stones. Regrets weren't shackles(桎梏), but guides showing me a better way forward.”可知,“我从新的角 度看待 mistakes和 regrets，不要桎梏于过去，要学会释放。G符合语境。 40. F 根据下文“I was able to plan, dream, and visualize like never before. My entries brimmed with ideas, goals, and hopes.

M: Yes, of course, Jane. And please, do not forget to ask your mother whether you may go to the movies with us afterwards. (Text 2) M: I live on campus, so I walk to classes. What about you, Gina? You drive, right? W: No. I used to, but it’s really expensive to park. There’s a direct bus that goes right near where I live. I think it’s easier. (Text 3) W: Hello, this is Henrietta at Southside elementary school. How may I help you? M: Hi Henrietta, this is David, the math teacher. I’m calling to tell you that I won’t be able to come to school today. 8 I feel very sick. W: Okay, take a good rest and don’t worry about your work. (Text 4) M: Well, hello there, Julia! Long time no see! W: Mike! Hi! I haven’t seen you for ages! What are you doing here? M: I just got a new job in the city, so I’m shopping for some clothes. Hey, what do you think of this shirt? W: You look great in blue. (Text 5) M: I need to pick up a gift for my brother Tom. His birthday is on Sunday next week. What would you recommend, Mary? W: Let me think. Maybe a camera since he loves taking pictures? M: What a clever suggestion! (Text 6) M: Did you have a good weekend, Sarah? W: Yes, thank you. I visited some friends in the countryside. M: It’s good to get out of the city sometimes, isn’t it? W: Yes, it was very peaceful and it’s wonderful to breathe clean air after all the pollution in the city. They live in a quiet village surrounded by fields and trees. Everything was so green. I found it a bit frightening at night, though. When it gets dark in the countryside, it gets really dark. There are no street lights, or lights from cars and buildings like any city or town. M: I bet you had a fantastic view of the stars, though! (Text 7) M: Wow, these photographs are amazing. Did you take them? W: Thanks! Yes, they’re my photos. M: Seriously, they look really professional. You could sell them. W: Oh, I don’t know about that … maybe when I get a bit better at it. M: Did you take all of these with your phone? W: No, not these ones. I started getting interested in photography about a year ago. Then my parents gave me a really good camera for my birthday, and I decided to sign up for a photography course. I learned a lot of basic things and, at the moment, I’m just experimenting with various techniques. (Text 8) W: What’s the matter, Tommy? M: I think I hurt myself yesterday.

Yesterday evening, I was walking down the stairs when I fell and hurt my arm. They all hurt now. Should I do any examination, doctor? W: Let me see. No need to worry. I will give you some medicine to take to make the pain go away. You should take the medicine. And you should also be more careful! (Text 9) 9 W:What do you want to do today, Todd? M: I’ve been sitting at my desk all week at work, so I’d really like to get some exercise. W: What were you thinking? Jogging, swimming, other sports? M: How do you feel about mountain biking? It can be lots of fun! W: Sure, I love mountain biking! M: Then maybe we can get some lunch afterwards. W: That’s good. I don’t feel like cooking today and of course you can escape from doing the dishes. I want to get something healthy, like a big green salad. M: Okay, that sounds good. W: Simone is having a party in the evening, do you want to go? We’re lucky to have such a good neighbor. M: But everyone smokes and drinks at Simone’s parties. I don’t think it would be good for us. My friend Frankie is having a get-together tonight too. Maybe that would be more fun? W: Yeah, I think you’re right. M: OK, let’s go get those bikes now! (Text 10) W: Hello. I’d like to share with everybody the great time that I had on my last vacation. I went to Conchal Beach with my friends. We didn’t stay in tents as we usually do. We stayed at a small hotel right in front of the beach. The first day we were there we took surfing lessons. My friends and I had so much fun hanging out at the beach. The second day we swam in the sea and played beach volleyball together. We watched the sunset and we set a fire at night. There was another beach nearby. Probably after a five-minute walk, you’ll be in Brasilito beach. We spent most of the four days on the beach and we usually went to a club at night in a place called Tamarindo. There is a beach in Tamarindo too. It was one of the most wonderful times I’ve had in my life. null2024一2025学年度上学期湖北省部分普通高中期未联考 高二英语试卷 考试时间：2025年1月17日上午9：45-11：45 试卷满分：150分 ★祝考试顺利★ 注意事项： 1.答题前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡规定的位置上。 2答进择题时必须使用2B铅花，将答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑，知需孜动，用樟 皮擦擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。 3答非选择题时，必须使用0.5毫来黑色签宇笔，将答案书写在答题卡规定的位置上， 4.所有题目必须在答题卡上作答，在试题卷上答期无效。 5.考试结束后，将试题卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分听力（共两节，满分30分） 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 仅读一追。 1.Where is the man going to collect the woman?

Caring 17-year-old,Lauren Schroeder was inspired to help bring healthy food to needy families in her community.Volunteering at a food shelter when she was just 14,and tasked with helping fill boxes for households in need with packaged food,this lowa teen felt that something was missing from the donated items:fresh vegetables. This kindhearted teen then told her parents about her desire to start a garden on part of their family farm in Dixon,lowa,in order to supply local families in need with fresh produce. The work involved in realizing Lauren's plan was not a walk in the park.While proud of her daughter's idea and eager to support her project,Katie Schroeder,her mother, admitted to some concern about the workload:"How much work is this going to be?" This was one determined young change-maker,however!Lauren researched plants online,checking which species needed more shade,how much water was required,and the best times to harvest each crop.More importantly,Lauren didn't shy away from hard work.During lowa's hot and dry summers,she had to water her crops by hand for around two to three hours daily..She also checked daily for weeds(泰草)and bent(弯腰)down to pick her green bean crop,the most challenging vegetable to harvest in her opinion. With help from her family,she planted half an acre()of land,with 15 varieties of vegetables in 2022,harvesting her first crops,totaling 40 pounds.The eight initial beneficiaries included food banks,a nursing home,and a soup kitehen.In the past two years,this admirable high school junior has donated more than 7,000 pounds of homegrown produce,with an estimated value of US$15,000.

The Worcester Public Library in Worcester,Massachusetts,announced that through the end of March,people who have lost or damaged a book or other borrowed items can bring a photograph,drawing,or magazine clipping of a cat,and get their library cards reactivated. The library calls the program March Meowness,a way for the system of seven branches library to forgive members of the community who misplaced a book or damaged a borrowed item,and then never went back to avoid paying for it. In just a few days,the program has already generated hundreds of returns,multiple postings of cat photographs on the library's Facebook page,and photographs and drawings pinned on a growing "cat wall"in the main building. The local Broadcasting Station,WBUR,described it as a "never be-fur(before)tried initiative,"and urged established customers to hurry and "act meow(now)."So far,the response,WBUR said,makes Jason Homer,the executive director of the library,"feline (feeling)good.” Mr.Homer said in an interview on Monday that about 400 people have had their library accounts unblocked and borrowing privileges restored after bringing in their pictures or drawings of cats. Any cat will do,or even,for that matter,any creature will do."We take a lot of honorary cats,”Mr.Homer said.“Any ungovernable animal.” If you don't have a cat?No problem.One cat-less 7-year-old boy,who never returned a "Captain Underpants"book,had his library card reactivated after the staff gave him paper and crayons to sketch one. Like many public libraries in the United States,the libraries in Worcester,a city of about 200,000 people southwest of Boston,are trying to encourage people to re-emerge from the infrequent,lonely days of the pandemic().Used as vaccine sites through the pandemic,the city's libraries have returned to become lively community spaces,offering crafts,wellness courses,and session(讨论会）about avoiding fraud. 28.What is the purpose of the "March Meowness"program?

D Scientists exploring a marine trench()near Japan were astonished to find a fish at 8,336 meters below the surface.The creature is a type of snailfish,and it's probably the deepest fish anyone will ever find.The previous record holder,a young snailfish seen in the Mariana Trench,was filmed at a depth of 8,1 78 meters in 2017. Fish survive under high pressures of extreme depths because of osmolytes in their cells ()The amount of osmolytes increases at greater depths to ensure fish cells don't shrink()too much at enormous pressures,but the levels of the osmolytes reach their highest at around8,400 meters.So that's the limit of fish physiology(生理机能). Scientist Prosanta Chakrabarty is impressed that the fish could survive so far down, where the water pressure is 800 times that of the surface."At that depth,everything from gas exchange for breathing to almost every physiological function seems impossible,"he says."I can barely swim to the bottom of a swimming pool without my ears popping." Deep-sea scientist Alan Jamieson's team discovered the snailfish in August 2022 in the Izu-Ogasawara Trench near Japan,which connects to the Mariana Trench in the south. The deepest parts of the Japanese trench are slightly warmer than the waters at similar depths in the Mariana,reaching about 1.7 degrees Celsius.The slight difference in temperature seems to be why the snailfish survives.Osmolytes are less effective at low temperatures,and these snailfish are living near the edge of what's possible. The researchers used a"lander"-an underwater vehicle equipped with cameras- to photograph the fish.The lander that made the finding photographed a single young snailfish at 8,336 meters. Over 400 species of snailfish are known from shallow waters to extreme depths,and each species adapts to where it lives."Each trench has its own snailfish in it.Once they've grown to cope in a trench,they cannot decompress()to get from one trench to another,says Jamieson,who led the team that made the.discovery.And he also noted the part played by technology in the discovery. 32.How does this snailfish differ from those living in shallow waters? A.Its cells are much larger in size. B.It moves at much slower speeds. C.Its body contains many more osmolytes.D.It is able to live a much longer life. 33.What does Chakrabarty want to show by saying the underlined sentence in paragraph 3? A.The snailfish's amazing ability to cope with enormous pressures. B.The acceptable pressures at the bottom of a swimming pool. C.The challenge of finding a fish at the deepest parts of a trench. D.The great changes in pressure at different depths of water. 34.What makes it possible for the snailfish to break the 2017 record? A.The trench's special structure. B.The large amount of food. C.The lower pressure. D.The warmer water. 35.What would be the best title for the text? A.A deeper understanding of unexplored trenches B.How a strange-looking fish survives C.How researchers explore the deep sea D.The deepest fish ever recorded 高二英语试卷第5页·共8页 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人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为 多余选项。 There's one thing for certain-we're all getting older.And while the older among us may be no spring chickens any more,growing old gracefully is no bad thing.36 However,as the world population ages,will there be enough people to replace our younger selves? A situation where there are more old people than young certainly has an effect on the world.37.According to it,globally the number of people over 65 years old will triple (增至三倍)by2050,greatly changing some countries'demographic make-up(人口组成). This growing and dependent population means that there is an increased demand for health and social care.Governments will struggle to provide satisfactory pensions( )which are ultimately funded by taxes()paid by the working population.And long-term,a smaller population of economically-active people may be a problem for companies trying to employ staff. 38 The Pew Research Center survey found that 87%of Japanese people were most concerned about it,while only 26%of people from the USA were anxious about it. Here,immigration(移民)is helping to boost(使增长)the younger workforce,Some countries thought the elderly should take care of themselves,while others thought it was the responsibility of the family.Many thought the government should be responsible. But old age shouldn't just be seen negatively.39 Some have wealth which they can spend helping the economy.Some have the passion to help society by doing voluntary or charity work.40.These include increasing the retirement age,encouraging people to save for the future,persuading skilled and educated migrants to fill labour shortages,or even convincing people to have more children. A.A report was made by the Pew Research Center. B.Of course,solutions are needed to solve the issue. C.Therefore,an aging population leads to improvements that benefits all age groups. D.Elderly people have knowledge and experience they can pass on. E.With age comes wisdom. F.Attitudes to an ageing population vary around the world. G.The aging population presents an opportunity for economic diversification(). 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，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填人空白处的 最佳选项。 My daughter loved dance,until she didn't.After a(n)41 first year,I noticed her interest disappearing week by week.Then,one day,she slowly 42 to me before class and asked if she could just drop it.

Guillermo was a true fan of David's game.David was everything he wanted to be.He wanted to play like him,have tons of friends like him,and even wear those fancy soccer shoes David was wearing. Today,the shy boy finally found the courage to talk to his hero."Hi,David!I'm Guillermo,your biggest fan.You're my hero.""Oh?Hi,Guillermo!Thank you."There was an awkward silence..“L..really like your shoes!”Guillermo blurted(脱口而出)the first thing that came to his mind. "These?These are old.You should see the new shoes I'll be getting!"David's eyes lit up,thinking about the dreamy sneakers(he had been saving up for.This was the first time the 15-year-old wanted to buy something for himself.And he didn't want to bother his mother.He had saved enough money from delivering newspapers and selling lemonade. "Tell me more about them!"Guillermo said,slowly hiding his feet under the seat. "Well,they're perfect!Actually,I'm heading to the store right after homework this eve- ning to buy them.Let's go together!"David said.Guillermo was truly happy for his idol (偶像). That's when the bus suddenly jolted(颠簸)over a pothole(路面坑洞)，and one of Guillermo's shoes fell off onto the bus floor.David was taken aback at the sight of the worn-out,blackened shoe.Tears welled up in David's eyes as he watched his friend hide his face in his hands,crying quietly but uncontrollably. The.rest of the bus ride passed in silence.When they finally reached their stop,David reminded Guillermo to meet at 5 o'clock.There was no way David was going to the store a- lone.Not after what he had seen.
