Hidden London: the Exhibition takes you on a journey of some of London’s most secret spaces in the world’s oldest underground system. These “forgotten” parts of the Tube network have incredible stories to tell about Britain’s wartime past. You can enjoy the largest number of rare photos and objects from disused stations that have been brought together in one location. Discover stories about how Churchill took shelter at the height of the Blitz deep underground at Down Street station. See how shelterers lived down at Clapham South station where they slept and how they kept entertained. You can also explore other locations that we have recreated in our Global Gallery, including the historic abandoned ticket hall at Aldwych station with an original 1930s ticket office. The exhibition uncovers why these “lost” parts of the underground network exist. Changes in population, economic priorities and political pressures have all led to spaces being abandoned. But they rarely stay that way. While some sections of the Tube system lie “forgotten”, many have been repurposed for new activities and are used for special Hidden London tours, growing salad leaves, and for filming locations, including Charing Cross, which featured in Skyfall (2012). Admission Charges: Child Ticket: FREE Adult Ticket: £16.50 per ticket Reduced Ticket: £15.50 per ticket Reduced price applies to senior citizens (60+) and visitors with disabilities. Opening Times: Every day: 10:00-18:00 Last entry: 17:00 Address: 39 Wellington Street, Covent Garden, London 21. What can visitors do at the exhibition? A. Admire a collection of photos. B. Buy tickets in a deserted hall. C. Grow vegetables underground. D. Live a sheltered life in war time. 22. Which station was used as a film set? A. Aldwych. B. Down Street. C. Charing Cross. D. Clapham South. 23. How much should a kid with grandparents both aged 57 pay for the admission? A. £31 B. £33 C. £46.5 D. £49.5 B There was a girl named Sabrina who suffered from a severe peanut allergy. This condition, characterized by symptoms like severe itching, swelling, and difficulty breathing upon exposure to peanuts, could have been fatal if not detected and managed early. Fortunately, her allergy was identified at a young age. With the help of doctors and strict dietary measures, she was able to control her symptoms and lead a normal life. However, this experience had a profound impact on her, and she became passionate about helping others with the same suffering of chronic diseases like her. Sabrina realized that early detection was crucial for many such conditions. She decided to focus her studies on this area and eventually got admitted to the medical school of the Yale, where she specialized in the early detection of chronic diseases. During her studies, she encountered various chronic diseases with specific symptoms. One such disease was diabetes, characterized by high blood sugar levels, fatigue, frequent urination, and increased thirst. Another was chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), which caused persistent coughing, shortness of breath, and chest tightness. Nothing can get in the way of a strong-willed heart. Sabrina also studied heart diseases like coronary artery disease (冠心病), which often presented with chest pain, shortness of breath, and fatigue. She learned that early detection of these diseases through regular screenings and lifestyle modifications could significantly improve patients’ quality of life and reduce the risk of severe complications. At Yale, Sabrina conducted research on developing more effective screening methods for these chronic diseases. Her work focused on identifying biomarkers and genetic factors that could predict the happening of these conditions, allowing for earlier intervention and better management. This little girl’s dedication and research have contributed significantly to the field of chronic diseases management. Her work has helped develop new screening tools and improved treatment strategies, bringing hope to countless individuals living with these conditions. Through her story and efforts, Sabrina has shown that early detection and intervention are key to overcoming the challenges posed by chronic diseases. 24. What life experience left the young girl a far-reaching influence? A. Her allergy to peanuts. B. Severe symptoms and pain. C. Simple and controlled dietary. D. Timely detection and early intervention. 25. What do we know about Sabrina’s learning life in the medical school? A. She majored in chronic diseases and their prevention. B. She found early cure could reduce the risk of these diseases. C. She was deeply committed to identifying biomarkers and genetic aspects. D. She was expert in heart disease and diabetes relating to shortness of breath. 26. Which kind of traits can we summarize about Sabrina from her story? A. Patience and toughness. B. Openness and diligence. C. Self-discipline and passion. D. Integrity and kindness. 27. What can we learn from the passage? A. Interest is the Best Teacher. B. Misfortune may be a blessing. C. Experience more, know more. D. Early Bird catches the Worm. C The future of space food could be simple and strange. For decades, astronauts have relied mostly on prepackaged food or the occasional grown vegetables during their visits to outer space. With missions beyond Earth’s orbit in sight, a NASA led competition is hoping to change all that and start a new era of sustainable space food. To solve the problem of feeding astronauts on long duration missions, the US space agency started the Deep Space Food Challenge in January 2022, asking companies to propose novel ways to develop sustainable foods for future missions. About 200 companies entered, which were narrowed down to 11 teams in January 2023 as part of phase 2. On November 19, NASA announced the teams that will progress into the final phase of the competition, with some winners to be announced in March, 2025. All teams had to show systems that could operate for three years and feed a crew of four on a future space mission. The proposals did not need to supply a crew’s entire diet, but they did need to create a variety of nutritious foods to the astronauts. One company took an incredibly unusual approach to the task. Air Company, based in New York, designed a system that could use the carbon dioxide breathed out by astronauts in space to produce alcohol, which can then be fed to yeast (酵母) and produce “something that’s suitable for eating”. “It’s making food out of the air.” says Stafford Sheehan, co-founder and chief technology officer of Air Company, “It sounds like magic, but when you see it actually operating, it’s much more simple.” Interstellar Lab in Florida had a different approach. Its system, called NUCLEUS, is a set of small capsules. Each is self-contained, with its own temperature, watering system, etc. That would allow different vegetables to be planted so that astronauts can easily grow their own food in space. While the winning ideas from the Deep Space Food Challenge won’t immediately be used by astronauts, they show what might be possible on future missions. “You’ve got to start years in advance to make sure you have the capability in place when you need it,” says Ralph Fritsche, senior project manager for space crop production at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. 28. Why was the Deep Space Food Challenge launched? A. To find tasty foods for astronauts. B. To found a space food supply center. C. To develop a new source of space food. D. To attract astronauts to food exploration. 29. Which might be the requirement to become the winning company? A. Future space missions lasting three years. B. Entire diets for long-lasting space research. C. Concrete proposals involving a crew of four. D. Sustainable supply of nutritious space foods. 30. What do paragraphs 4 and 5 focus on? A. Process of creating space foods. B. Unique systems of storing foods. C. Examples of specific space foods. D. Prospects of these food companies. 31. What is the most suitable title for the text? A. Astronauts produce more space food B. Space explorers face a lack of nutrition C. Future space missions last even longer D. New types of space foods are on the way D A team of researchers in Florida may have just created the world’s coolest paint ever. Chanda, a researcher in the University of Central Florida, and his team have created a way to imitate copy nature’s ability to reflect light and create beautifully vivid color without absorbing any heat like traditional pigments (色素) do. They focus on exploring structural color (结构色) and how people could use it to live cooler in a rapidly warming world. Structural colors are created not from traditional pigmentation but from the arrangement of colorless materials to reflect light in certain ways, like how rainbows are made after it rains. Think about the most beautiful colors you’ve ever seen — forest green, wine red or crystal blue, some of which, however, are nearly impossible to recreate artificially. That’s because these beautiful colors are not achieved through pigments — they’re all in the structure, like the green of peacocks’ feathers. Think about those cherries that redden your mouth after eating them or when your jeans turned green from sitting in wet grass. These are pigments. To create these colors, synthetic (合成的) materials like heavy metals are used to create vivid paints. Chanda stressed, “A deep blue needs cobalt; a deep red needs cadmium. They are toxic. We are contaminating our nature by using this kind of paint. So one of the major motivations for us is to create colors based on non-toxic materials.” Beyond the beautiful colors and safety that structure can provide, Chanda also found that unlike pigments, structural paint does not absorb heat but reflects light back. That’s why people are advised to wear lighter colors in hotter days and why many buildings are painted white. This means this eco-friendly paint could help communities keep cool in an increasingly warming climate. “Nature has followed the path to create harmony among our surroundings,” Chanda said. “We want to be colorful but our color production is not really supported or inspired by nature. I hope this paint could be the future to a healthier, cooler environment.” 32. Which of the following colors doesn’t belong to structural colors? A. The green of peacocks’ feathers. B. The orange of bright rainbows. C. The blue of butterfly wings. D. The purple of ripe grapes. 33. What does the underlined word “toxic” in the third paragraph probably mean? A. Neutral. B. Useless. C. Attractive. D. Harmful. 34. Which of the following best describes the advantages of the newly-created paint? A. Traditional, healthy and cooling. B. Colorless, healthy and artificial. C. Vivid, eco-friendly and cooling. D. Vivid, man-made and eco-friendly. 35. What’s the main idea of the text? A. The paint of structural color could help people live cooler and healthier. B. Traditional approaches of color production remain to be improved. C. Human beings should respect the harmony of our surroundings. D. Many attractive colors couldn’t be recreated artificially. 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。 You’re standing in line at the grocery store or waiting for an elevator. You have no more than a minute to kill. And yet, before you’ve even realized what you’re doing, you’ve pulled out your phone and have begun to mindlessly scroll (滚屏) through apps. 36 Research suggests plenty of people do the same thing. Only 11% of people’s smartphone checks were in response to a notification. For the rest of the time, they checked their phones totally unplanned, often without thinking through why they were doing it. We’re so used to constant stimulation that we feel uncomfortable when we’re not doing anything, even for just a few seconds. Our brains are hardwired to seek out rewards like knowledge, entertainment, and social connection. All of those things were much harder to find before we had tiny computers at our fingertips. Now we do. Our phones are basically all-you-can-eat buffets for our brains, endlessly and easily serving up the things they want. 37 A quick phone check probably isn’t doing your brain any real harm. 38 Over time, constant scrolling could have a negative effect on your job performance, relationships, sleep, and possibly even physical safety, if you’re doing things like checking your phone while you walk or drive. 39 When you give in to your urges and check your phone, then feel guilty about it, the feeling of failure adds shame to injury. If you want to break the habit of constant checking, you’ll have to work at it. Building awareness is a good way. 40 For example, next time you catch yourself scrolling through short videos without even absorbing the content, think about whether you really want to be on your phone, or you are just putting off a less-fun task. A. Checking your phone is often automatic. B. There’s also a mental-health element to consider. C. Of course our minds can’t help but feed themselves. D. Start going without your phone for set periods of time. E. The urge to check your phone is often related to stress relief. F. Take a moment to ask yourself what is driving your behavior. G. But it’s also worth considering how all those little checks add up. 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。 As an outdoorsy girl, I’m familiar with camping.

Inspired by the workings of the brain, professor John Hopfield and Geoffrey Hinton built artificial neural (神经的) networks that store and retrieve memories like the human brain, and learn from information 56 (feed) into them. Hinton, 76, often referred to as “the godfather of AI”, made headlines last year 57 he quit Google and warned about the dangers of machines outsmarting humans. The scientists’ pioneering work demonstrated 58 computer programs that draw on neural networks and statistics could form the basis for an entire field, which paved the way for swift and accurate language translation, facial 59 (recognize) systems, and the generative AI. Hopfield, 91, 60 (honour) for building “an associative memory that can store and reconstruct images and other types of patterns in data”, while Hinton invented a method that can “independently discover properties in data”, 61 important feature of the large artificial neural networks in use 62 present. Having technology 63 (smart) than humans would be “wonderful in many respects”, Hinton said, leading to 64 (consider) improvements in healthcare, better digital assistants, and productivity. “But we also have to worry about a number of possible bad 65 (consequence), particularly the threat of these things getting out of control,” he added. 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第1节 应用文写作（满分15分） 你将参加英语课上的“一分钟演讲”活动。请你针对部分同学在校园内用手机拍摄短视频的现象写一篇演讲稿，内容包括： （1）陈述看法； （2）提出建议。 注意： （1）写作词数应为80个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 My views on filming short videos on campus 第二节 读后续写（满分25分） 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 There lived a ten-year-old boy named Tim in a small town. Though born in a family that struggled to make ends meet, Tim was a bright and lively boy, having a strong passion for music. He held a dream that he could perform music for many people at his own concert in the future. One day, word reached Tim about a local music competition, the prize of which was a full scholarship to a highly regarded music academy. This was an opportunity that seemed like a golden ticket to his dream, so he made the decision to participate. After hurrying to sign up for the competition, he made a plan to practice, day in and day out, using an old guitar that had been passed down from his grandfather. When the day of the competition finally arrived, Tim felt a mixture of nervousness and excitement. He stepped onto the stage and poured all his heart, soul, and love into the music. He felt rather satisfied with his performance. During the following days, he waited for the result anxiously. However, he didn’t win. He completely broke down, feeling all his painstaking efforts were for nothing. A deep sense of discouragement settled over him. His parents knew that his skills are not good enough but didn’t know how to comfort him. Tim was always sitting, playing his old guitar in the park, with nobody to talk with. A few weeks later, a man named Mr. Thompson moved into the neighborhood. Little did anyone know that Mr. Thompson was a guitar master who once shared the spotlight on stages with well-known bands but now sought the peace of a quiet life. One day, he happened to spot Tim sitting alone, playing the guitar with a disappointed expression. He approached Tim and started a conversation. Tim opened up to him about his experience in the competition. 注意：1. 续写词数应为 150 左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Mr. Thompson listened attentively and then took over the guitar.____________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Two years later, Tim returned to his hometown for his own concert._________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第9页/共10页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 山大附中2024~2025学年第二学期高二3月（总第二次）月考 英 语 答案 听力 1-5 BACCB 6-10 CBABA 11-15 CCACB 16-20 CABAB 阅读理解（共20小题；每小题3分，满分60分） 21-23 ACB 24-27DCCB 28-31CDCD 32-35DDCA 36-40 ACGBF 完形填空（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30） 41-45 ADCBA 46-50 DBBAC 51-55 BDADC 语法填空（共10小题；每小题2分，满分20分） 56. fed 57. when 58. that 59. recognition 60. was honoured 61. an 62. at 63. smarter 64. considerable 65. consequences 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第1节 应用文参考范文（满分15分） Good morning, everyone! I’m honored to stand here and share my thoughts on“Shooting Short Videos with Mobile Phones on Campus”. In recent years, the popularity of short videos has skyrocketed, and our campus is no exception. Using mobile phones to capture campus moments has become a trendy way for us to express ourselves. Firstly, it’s a great tool for recording our growth. The morning reading in the classroom,the exciting sports meet,and the laughter in the cafeteria, all these precious fragments can be frozen in short videos, serving as a vivid memory of our school days. Secondly, it promotes creativity. When we edit and add special effects to these videos,our imagination and innovation abilities are put to full use. For example, we can make a short film introducing our school clubs to attract more students. However, we should also be aware of some problems. We must ensure that shooting videos doesn’t disrupt classroom order or invade others’ privacy. In conclusion,if used properly,shooting short videos with mobile phones on campus can add a lot of colors to our school life.Let's make good use of this modern means to create more beautiful memories. That’s all . Thanks for your listening! 第二节 读后续写参考范文（满分25分） Mr. Thompson listened attentively and then took over the guitar. He played the song that Tim performed in the competition. Such wonderful music left Tim shocked. Before Tim could say a word, Mr. Thompson proposed to give him free music lessons. Tim agreed happily. Over the following months, with Mr. Thompson’s encouragement and guidance, Tim made rapid progress. With skills and confidence improving, Tim recorded his music and shared it online. People were drawn to his music, and he won lots of applause. A music producer was deeply impressed by Tim’s talent and decided to cooperate with him. So Tim left his hometown, walking closer to his dream. Two years later, Tim returned to his hometown for his own concert. He went to Mr. Thompson’s house and knocked at his door excitedly, hoping to invite him to the concert. However, Tim got no response. He then was told that Mr. Thompson had moved for a long time. At the live concert, Tim performed a song specially for Mr. Thompson. When the last note was played, he stood up straight and took a bow, showing his sincere gratitude to his teacher. Nobody noticed an old man, in the last row, clapping hands for the excellent player. And that’s Mr. Thompson, smiling with tears of joy shining in his eyes. 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了一个名叫Tim的小男孩，家里不怎么富裕，但他对音乐有很大的热情，希望有一天能在自己的音乐会上表演音乐。一次当地举行一场音乐比赛，Tim决定参加并且日复一日的练习,但是Tim并没有赢得比赛，他很崩溃很沮丧。几周后， Thompson，一个吉他大师搬到Tim社区，偶然遇到Tim并且攀谈起来，Tim向Thompson讲述比赛的经过。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“Thompson先生聚精会神地听着，然后接过吉他。”可知，第一段可描写Tim受到Thompson的指导，离自己的音乐梦想更进一步的过程。 ②由第二段首句内容“两年后，Tim回到家乡开了自己的演唱会。”可知，第二段可描写Tim开演唱会的过程。 2.续写线索：Thompson先生指导——Tim进步很大——和音乐人合作——离开家乡——回家乡开演唱会——邀请Thompson先生却被告知已搬走——举行演唱会——表达感谢——Thompson先生看到Tim的成功 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①.演出：perform/put on a show ②.提议：propose/suggest ③.被……所吸引：be drawn to/be attracted to 情绪类 ①.感谢：showing his appreciation/show his gratitude/be grateful ②.高兴地：happily/merrily 【点睛】[高分句型1].
