B When people ask me how I started writing, I find myself describing an urgent need that I felt to work with language. Having said that, I did not know for a long time what I was looking for. It was not until I followed this feeling to its source that I discovered I had a passion for writing. With some encouragement from my colleagues, I had one of my poems published. This bit of success, however, was the point where my problem began. Back in 1978, I had to travel between three different campuses in the morning, teaching freshman composition. Afternoons I spent taking my daughter to her ballet and horse-riding lessons. I composed my lectures on the way, and that was all the thinking time I had. When I returned home, there was not enough of me left for writing after a full working day. As a way out, I decided to get up two hours before my usual time. My alarm was set for 5:00 A.M. The first day I shut it off because I had placed it within arm's reach. The second day I set two clocks, one on my night table, and one out in the hallway. I had to jump out of bed and run to silence it before my family was awoken. This was when my morning writing began. Since that first morning in 1978, I have been following the habit to this day, not making or accepting many excuses for not writing. I wrote my poems in this manner for nearly ten years before my first book was published. When I decided to write a novel, I divided my two hours: the first for poetry, the second for fiction. Well or badly, I wrote at least two pages a day. This is how my novel, The Line of the Sun. was finished. If I had waited to have the time, I would still be waiting to write my novel. What I got out of getting up in the dark to work is the feeling that I am in control. For many people, the initial sense of urgency to create easily dies away because it requires making the tough decision: taking the time to create, stealing it from yourself if ifs the only way. 24. What motivated the author to start her writing career? A. Her strong wish to share. B. Her keen interest in writing. C. Her urgent need to make a living. D. Her passionate desire for fame. 25. Why did the author place an alarm clock in the hallway? A. In case the clock in her room broke down. B. In case she failed to hear the ringing. C. To force herself out of bed. D. To wake up her family. 26 How did the author manage to finish her novel? A. By sticking to writing every morning. B. By writing when her mind was most active. C. By drawing inspirations from classic novels. D. By reducing her teaching hours at school. 27. What can we learn from the author's success in her writing career? A. It is never too late to change your job. B. Imaginative ideas die away if not taken in time. C. A tight schedule is no excuse for lack of action. D. Daily life provides ideas for creative writing. C While some feel that bookstores are fading away, one Chinese bookstore has found new life by marching into rural areas in China to bring colorful cultural life and higher incomes lo local residents. By absorbing local rural characteristics, the village branches of the Librairie Avantgarde Bookstore (LAB) chain have transformed into important platforms to display local history, culture and folk traditions. Not just bookstores, they are foundations helping to relieve spiritual poverty (贫困) and centers for gathering and displaying rural culture. To better fit in the lives of local residents, earth village branch has its own characteristics, like the branch in Shaxi, southwest China’s Yunnan province. Many of nearly 20,000 books in the store are associated with the history, geography and folk customs of Yunnan and the Bai people. “Turning in profits is not our only aim. Our bookstore has become a public gathering space for villagers. Not only young people, but many elderly residents come here. They do not buy books, but pass the time by reading or chatting with each other in our store.” Liu Xia, the bookstore owner explained. She added that this is a cultural atmosphere that bookstores offer the area. Some residents have grown accustomed to turning to the books of the store to find answers to the troubles they face, such as operating a business or controlling tourists from urban areas. The biggest benefit of opening bookstores in villages is that it helps provide a healthy environment for children’s growth. “My kids often come to the store. They love reading books here. They gain knowledge and curiosity about outside world.” one villager said. The arrival of the bookstore menus a lot to the village when young residents have been leaving for urban areas in recent years. During the 2020 May Day and National Day holidays, the daily number of tourists traveling to the village reached 5,000, a record high. Visitors were attracted by the bookstore. Surrounding it, several restaurants and holds have opened. 28. Which of the following best describes village branches of the LAB? A. They are disappearing gradually. B. They feature local rural cultures. C. They could make much higher profits. D. They have set up poverty-relief foundations. 29. What do we know about the branch in Shaxi? A. It specializes in history-related books. B. It creates a public gathering space for business. C. It shares the same features with oilier branches. D. It helps villagers know more about the Bai people. 30. What’s the greatest influence of village bookshops on the local areas? A. Attracting more people lo pay a visit. B. Offering kids a healthy atmosphere. C. Helping residents lo acquire knowledge. D. Encouraging the young to go to big cities. 31. Which of the following can be the best title of the text? A. LAB: A Bookstore on the Rise B. Local Culture Welcomed by Tourists C. Village Bookshops Promote Rural Life D. Great Ambitions of Village Bookstores D Our brains have an “auto-correct” feature that we use when re-interpreting (重新解释) ambiguous sounds, according to new research. The study sheds light on how the brain uses information gathered after the discovering of an initial sound to aid speech comprehension. The findings point to new ways we use information and context to aid in speech comprehension. “What a person thinks they hear does not always match the actual signals that reach the ear,” explains lead author Laura Gwilliams. “This is because the brain re-evaluates the interpretation of a speech sound at the moment each following speech sound is heard in order to update interpretations as necessary,” Gwilliams says. It’s well known that the perception of a speech sound is determined by its surrounding context — in the form of words, sentences and other speech sounds. This plays out in everyday life — when we talk, the actual speech we produce is often ambiguous. For example, when a friend says she has a “dent (凹痕)” in her car, you may hear “tent”. Although this kind of ambiguity happens regularly, we, as listeners, are hardly aware of it. “This is because the brain automatically resolves the ambiguity for us — it picks an interpretation and that’s what we perceive to hear,” explains Gwilliams. “The way the brain does this is by using the surrounding context to narrow down the possibilities of what the speaker may mean.” In the study, the researchers sought to understand how the brain uses this following information to adjust our perception of what we initially heard. To do this, they conducted a series of experiments in which the subjects listened to isolated syllables and similarly sounding words. Their results produced three primary findings: The brain’s primary auditory cortex (听觉皮层) is sensitive to how ambiguous a speech sound is at just 50 milliseconds after the sound’s appearance. The brain “replays” previous speech sounds while interpreting the following ones, suggesting re-evaluation as the rest of the word unfolds. The brain makes commitments to its “best guess” of how to interpret the signal after about half a second. 32. What is the study mainly about? A. Why people make unclear sounds. B. How brains understand unclear words. C. How brains tell apart useful information. D. Why some people process information faster. 33. What does the author want to show by giving the example in paragraph 3? A. It is normal for people to make unclear sounds. B. People are more likely to mishear their friends. C. People can understand others even if they mishear a word. D. People are likely to mistake a word for something familiar. 34. What do we know about the unclear words in the experiments? A. They seemed to be useless. B. They were noticed instantly. C. They led to misunderstanding. D. They stopped us thinking further. 35. What does the underlined part “the signal” in the last paragraph refer to? A. The previous speech sound. B. The similarly sounding word. C. The unclearly sounding word. D. The following speech sound. 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。 Overcome Culture Shock in the Classroom Culture shock occurs in a classroom when students are exposed to a new situation.___36___.

I was visiting two friends who were to meet me at the train station. I stood there waiting for my first friend to arrive and in the midst of all the hurrying passengers that Friday afternoon, I heard a weak voice; it sounded like a question. I turned and saw a young man standing with a white cane ( 拐 杖 ) , his suitcase by his feet. I approached and asked,“Do you need help?”“Yes,”he replied, nodding his head, appearing relieved. He had been trying for some time, unsuccessfully, to get someone’s attention. He had missed his train home. His cell phone battery was dead, and he needed to call his mother to tell her of the circumstances. This young man named Mustafa, I found out, had just completed his first week at a school for the blind. He went to school on Mondays and returned home on Fridays. Of course I helped him call his mother. I did not understand what he spoke with her on my cell phone, but I could tell the language was Swedish. Of course the next problem was finding the right train home and telling his mother the new arrival time. Yet in this disordered train station, I did not want to miss connecting with my friend Bogdan who was on his way to the spot where we were standing. Before I could dial the number to call Bogdan, he was suddenly already there. I described the problem and Bogdan took the young man’s arm and we were off on our adventure to help get Mustafa home. While sorting out where his home was, what train, and what time, my second friend Marcello called and wondered where we were. Soon he joined us. It happened that Marcello speaks 12 languages. 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。 Marcello’s gift in language was a great advantage. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Now we were leading Mustafa to his train. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 2024年秋季高二年级期末考试 英语 注意事项： 1. 本试卷分四部分。满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 2. 考生作答时，请将答案答在答题卡上。选择题每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑；主观题请用直径0.5毫米黑色墨水签字笔在答题卡上各题的答题区域内作答，超出答题区域书写的答案无效，在试题卷、草稿纸上作答无效。 3. 本试卷命题范围：选择性必修第一册~选择性必修第二册。 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。 【1题答案】 【答案】A 【2题答案】 【答案】C 【3题答案】 【答案】B 【4题答案】 【答案】B 【5题答案】 【答案】C 第二节 (共15小题；每小题1.5分，满分22.5分) 听下面5段对话或独白，每段对话或独白后有几个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听每段对话或独白前，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。每段对话或独白读两遍。 【6~7题答案】 【答案】6.

Finally, I believe humour can be a powerful and delightful way to establish close friendships with people. Thanks! 第二节 (满分25分) 【67题答案】 【答案】Paragraph 1: Marcello’s gift in language was a great advantage. Now we could talk with Mustafa more effectively, learning about more information about him. Later, Marcello called Mustafa’s mother in Swedish. We told her not to worry about her son. We also told her that her son had missed his train so we helped him choose another train. In the end, we let Mustafa talk with his mother on the phone. He was grateful for our help and told his mother the time of his arrival. Paragraph 2: Now we were leading Mustafa to his train. And we set off to find the train platform. Then it was time to help him get on the train, and it’s best to find a seat with someone who could look after Mustafa and help him get off the train. Unexpectedly, a woman on the train suddenly recognized Mustafa. It turned out that she was a teacher at his school, and Mustafa was just her student. What a coincidence! That was the end of our adventure. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
