However, beyond these well-known places, Shanghai is literally one of the most suitable cities in China for leisurely urban strolls, i. e. city walk. Now, let’s take a look at several exceptionally famous roads in Shanghai and savor a rather pleasant city walk together under the fantastic wutong trees. Anfu Rd. Anfu Road is a gathering place for trendsetters in Shanghai catering primarily to young customers and embodying a relaxed vibe. Along the street, you’ll find a variety of brands including fashion streetwear labels, boutiques, semi-open brunch restaurants, afternoon tea spots, handmade jewelry stores, fragrance shops, vintage boutiques, beauty pop-up stores, bakeries, and more. Most of the shops adopt an industrial minimalist style for their interior decoration. Ordering a cup of coffee in 13DE MARZO and either waiting for it or taking it upstairs to browse through the clothes is a special experience that cannot be found in any shopping mall elsewhere. Wukang Rd. Wukang Road is hailed as one of the most European-style districts in central Shanghai, with former residences of celebrities like Ba Jin and cultural relics dotted along its path. The distinctive architecture includes the iconic Wukang Mansion, built in 1924 and resembling a gigantic sailing ship, which has become a popular destination for internet celebrities and visitors alike. Find a cozy artsy café on Wukang Road, sit by the window, and hold a cup of hot coffee in your hands. As you indulge in the luxury of doing nothing, savor the warmth of the winter sun glinting off the shiny wutong trees lining the road. Huaihai Rd. (M) Huaihai Road Middle in Shanghai is undoubtedly a favorite among the, younger generation, and it stands as one of the most vibrant commercial streets in the city. As you walk along this road, the wutong trees on both sides carry a unique romantic atmosphere that is quintessentially Shanghai. The diverse array of fashionable and trendy shops lining the roadside adds even more sophistication and charm to this path. There’s a giant croissant-shaped (可颂形状的) gym in HAUS NOWHERE along the street where you can take unique photos. Sinan Rd. As a cultural thoroughfare, Sinan Road boasts a rich history of celebrities whose stories are as precious as family heirlooms. Tracing the traces of time, one can glimpse the turbulent historical events that have shaped this place. The buildings along the way contain the Residence of Premier Zhou Enlai, Mei Lanfang’s former residence, Dr. Sun Yat-sen’s former residence, and so on. They encompass both traditional Shanghai lane houses and Western-style restaurants and bars. As a renowned historical and cultural district in Shanghai, Sinan Road has born e witness to the city’s centennial evolution. Amidst the bustling cityscape, it provides a serene and poetic retreat, rich in cultural heritage and embodying the distinctive charm of Shanghai. 1. Which city walk route offers a unique shopping experience? A. Anfu Rd. B. Wukang Rd. C. Huaihai Rd. (M) D. Sinan Rd. 2. Whom does Huaihai Rd. (M) suit best? A. Ethan, who adores e-sports and computer equipment. B. Olivia, who majors in Chinese contemporary history. C. Wade, who is keen on fitness devices and prefer innovative things. D. Chloe, who does research in European- style architecture. 3. What do Wukang Rd. and Sinan Rd. have in common? A. Both are known for their trendy fashion boutiques and streetwear labels. B. Both feature iconic buildings with historical significance. C. Both are popular among young customers. D. Both offer a variety of semi-open brunch restaurants and afternoon tea spots. B Isaac Asimov was one of the world’s most celebrated science fiction writers, having written or edited more than 500 books over his four-decade career. The 5020 Asimov Asteroid (行星), the magazine Asimov’s Science Fiction and two different Isaac Asimov Awards are all named in his honor. Asimov was born in January, 1920 in Russia. His family migrated to the United States when he was three years old. His parents owned a small general store and everyone in the family was expected to work in it. He saw science fiction magazines in the store and began reading them. Around the age of eleven, he began to write his own stories. Apart from works of fiction, Asimov made an interesting prediction of our current world way back in 1964. In a New York Times article, he dared to divine the future of our world. Within it, he correctly predicted self-driving cars, video calling, widespread adoption of nuclear power and even household robots. He also divined that our societies of today would suffer from “the disease of boredom”. We might not be fully there yet, but this is a very real possibility if our lives become fully automated. Asimov also thought we would be on our way to establishing human settlements on the moon. However, it’ll likely take longer than that for any nation to establish a permanent lunar settlement. Asimov died on April 6, 1992. Ten years after his death, his second wife Janet Asimov’s edition of Asimov’s autobiography, It’s Been a Good Life, came out. 4. How is the second paragraph developed? A. By giving examples. B. By analyzing causes. C. By making comparisons. D. By following the time order. 5. What does the underlined word “divine” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Shape. B. Predict. C. Ignore. D. Consider. 6. Which of the following best describes Isaac Asimov? A. Selfless & Creative. B. Productive & Insightful. C. Doubtful & Helpful. D. Optimistic & Generous. 7. Where can the text be found? A. In a magazine. B. In a brochure. C. In a guidebook. D. In an autobiography. C Our earliest ancestors trapped or hunted what meat they ate. When we learned to domesticate (驯化)animals, we raised them on our land, or we wandered the land with our herds. No matter which tribe we belonged to, our animals were our property. We ate their flesh in small portions, and we ate almost every bit of them, especially the poorest among us. The Industrial Revolution changed meat. In the 19th century, refrigeration enabled meat to be trucked in from far away, or shipped from even further away, which eventually led to the destroying of forests in places like Brazil. Production then became more efficient. By the late 1940s, antibiotics (抗生素) became routine in chicken feed. By the late 1990s, genetically modified (转基因的) corn and soy brought abundant crops of animal feed. Animals were bred to be bigger and faster-growing. In the U.S., government subsidies (补贴) helped: free groundwater, federally backed loans, price guarantees for feed crops. And meat went big. Today the $1 trillion global meat industry is dominated by a handful of companies, including JBS, Cargill, and Tyson. Since 1961, meat production has increased four times, dwarfing the growth in the human population, which merely doubled. Meat went from being special to being an everyday right. The more we developed, the more flesh we ate. China’s meat consumption jumped sharply, from about 6. 6 pounds per person in 1961 to more than 140 pounds in 2024. But the United States became the lions of Planet Carnivore (食肉动物). On average, Americans went from eating around 207 pounds of meat in 1961 to 280 pounds in 2024, and chicken came to dominate. It wasn’t just chicken consumption that changed. Follow a chicken truck to the butchery — continued forest destruction, an alarming rise in antibiotic-resistant bacteria, ever-increasing greenhouse gas emissions — and you realize what a dark shadow we have cast over where we live. 8. How did the Industrial Revolution affect meat? A. It caused a sharp fall in the price of meat. B. It decreased the nutritional value of meat. C. It restricted the use of antibiotics in meat. D. It revolutionized meat production and distribution. 9. What does the underlined word “dwarfing” mean in paragraph 3? A. Making something seem small. B. Greatly expanding something. C. Matching something in number. D. Negatively impacting something. 10. How does the author show the rapid increase in meat consumption? A. By making a comparison. B. By giving explanations. C. By introducing a concept. D. By making a prediction. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Antibiotics Has Transformed Chicken Feed B. Global Companies Dominate Meat Industry C. Our Taste for Flesh Has Exhausted the Earth D. Meat Production Results in Forest Destruction D Twins have been rare in human history and for that reason can seem special. Many cultures associate twins with health and energy, while others see them as a reminder of the duality (双重性) of life and death, good and evil, and some famous twins are even credited with the birth of nations. Despite the fact that almost all primates (灵长目动物) today, including humans, usually give birth to just one baby, our most recent common ancient ancestors, who lived about 60 million years ago likely gave birth to twins as the standard, according to the recent research. Researchers have been studying the evolution of litter size — the number of babies born per pregnancy — for years to find out when and why twin pregnancies became uncommon. And the best way to reconstruct the history of litter size is to map the known litter size of as many species as possible across the mammalian family tree and then used mathematical models. But outside of rare events where entire animal families are fossilized together, it is extraordinarily difficult to assess litter size for extinct species from the fossilized skeleton (骨骼) alone. So they instead collected data on as many living mammals as possible, from nearly 1, 000 living mammal species for information about how many babies are commonly born to each species. Based on the study, the switch to single births in many primates, including humans, occurred at least 50 million years ago, leading to the evolution of increasingly larger bodies and brains. This adaptation allowed for the development of large human babies with sizable brains capable of complex learning as babies and young children, and increased their chances of survival. Furthermore, because multiple pregnancy requires more energy from the mother, early primate ancestors who gave birth to just one large baby may have been at a survival advantage. The findings don’t mean that having twins today is a disadvantage. That is quite a different experience from our tiny primate ancestors birthing in the trees 60 million years ago. 12. What do we know about twins in human history? A. Twin birth has been relatively infrequent. B. Twins are viewed as a symbol of harmony. C. Twins are more likely to become nation founders. D. Twin birth has seen a noticeable increase in recent times. 13. Which approach was adopted in the study of litter size evolution? A. Drawing mammalian family trees. B. Employing living mammal data. C. Construct models of extinct species. D. Assessing fossilized skeletons. 14 What led to the shift from twins to single birth according to the study? A. The growing preference for single births among humans. B. The increasing complexity of social structure in primate societies. C. The necessity for mothers to conserve energy during the parenting process. D. The natural process of genetic development of body size and brain capacity. 15. What is the author’s attitude towards twins’ evolution? A. Doubtful. B. Objective. C. Approving. D. Ambiguous. 第二节 (共15题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下列短文，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。 Between 25 percent and 40 percent of students experience some form of test anxiety throughout their academic career. ____16____ And although it’s expected that students feel slightly nervous before a high-risk assessment, test anxiety can become overwhelming to the point of causing significant underperformance. Test anxiety can be shown in various ways, from physical symptoms like headaches and a rapid heartbeat to emotional symptoms such as fear and depression. This anxiety can disrupt students’ ability to concentrate, recall information, and perform well, creating a cycle of poor performance and increased anxiety. ____17____ Each student may experience test anxiety differently, with some showing more severe symptoms than others. Understanding these causes and recognizing the symptoms are crucial steps in addressing test anxiety effectively. ____18____ One of the more troubling outcomes of test anxiety is the attraction for students to take academic shortcuts, typically due to an overwhelming fear of failure and a lack of self-efficacy (自我效能). When students feel that they cannot succeed through their own efforts, shortcuts often turn into various forms of exam misconduct, breaking the educational process and academic standards of the institution. While misconduct is a serious result of test anxiety, educators can help ease this issue by creating a supportive environment that reduces the pressure to cheat. Anxiety often originates from a sense of isolation—the belief that everyone else has everything under control. Discuss with your students the high frequency of test anxiety with statistics and anecdotes (轶事) with the aim to normalize and destigmatize (去污名化). ____19____ Building trust and harmony with students is essential. Educators can achieve this by being approachable, empathetic, and responsive to students’ needs. ____20____ As an instructor, let students know that you are available to support them academically and emotionally throughout their learning journey. A. Test anxiety is the unsettled feeling students have before a test. B. Besides, a lack of testing environment exposure can lead to anxiety. C. Give constructive feedback on practice tests for students to find areas to improve. D. This will help create a supportive atmosphere for students to discuss concerns freely. E. Test anxiety can impact students’ academic performance, honesty and ethical behavior. F. Encourage communication and assure students seeking help or clarification does not mean weakness. G. Causes of test anxiety vary from high pressure to fear of failure and a poor test history. 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，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Administrators of the Mogao Caves in Dunhuang, Gansu Province, are trying to harmonize tourists’ exploration of the site with the need to safeguard the murals (壁画), through innovative measures.

Jacob, a bright-eyed and energetic boy, had great memories of the Halloween night. The air was clear and cool, filled with the smell of autumn leaves and the distant sound of laughter. As the Halloween night settled over the neighborhood, the streets were brightened with the warm, shining light of pumpkin (南瓜) lanterns. Wearing a variety of colorful costumes, the children, dressed up as supermen, ghosts, batmen, spider men or princesses, wandered in the streets excitedly. Carrying their big candy bags from house to house, they knocked at every neighboring door, shouting “Trick or Treat”, and the house owners who answered the door would hand them candies smilingly. Before Halloween, Jacob had been looking forward to its coming in a splendid way. He had particularly planned his costume and couldn't wait to fill his candy bag. But things didn't go as planned. Just two days before the big night, Jacob was struck with a severe illness that landed him in the hospital. He received a medical operation and it was clear that there would be no trick-or-treating for him this year. The hospital room Jacob stayed in was decorated with get-well cards, flowers and balloons from his friends and relatives. Jacob lay in bed with a pale face, weak and sad. Seeing Jacob's condition, the single mother Amy was heartbroken. She knew how much Halloween meant to her son, and she couldn't bear the thought of him missing out on the fun. Meanwhile, she knew kids who knocked at their door would be disappointed if there was no answer to the doorbell without a reason. She thought about it over and over again and finally an idea occurred to her: A visual camera (可视化摄像头) connected to her cellphone, a note, and a basket full of candies would work. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Amy returned home and took immediate action. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The “superman” put all his candies into the basket instead of taking one from it. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 广安友谊中学高2023级高二下学期开学摸底考试 英语 (考试时间：120分钟 试卷满分：150分) 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。每段对话仅读一遍。 1．What is Paul going to do this summer?

She had a camera fixed above the door, on which she taped a note reading, “Dear trick-or-treaters, Jacob is in hospital but he still wants to spend the Halloween with you. Please take candies from the basket and smile at the camera. He’ll be looking at you.” Having placed the candy basket outside, she hurried back to the hospital. As the excited and noisy kids in different costumes came and read the note, they suddenly fell silent. One by one they took a candy and expressed their best wishes at the camera with big smiles. Now it was the turn of a “superman”. The “superman” put all his candies into the basket instead of taking one from it. He waved at the camera, saying “Jacob, I know you like candies. Hope you’ll recover soon.” Inspired by his act, other children followed suit and started pouring their candies into the basket, which soon turned into a mountain of colorful candies.

The unique heartwarming Halloween will stick in the memories of both Jacob and his playmates. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
