2024—2025学年度第二学期0321质量检测试题 高二年级英语 笔试部分 第二部分 阅读(共两节，满分 50 分) 第一节(共 15 小题;每小题 2.5 分，满分 37.5 分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的 A 、B 、C 、D 四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Interest in gap years is increasing Gap year programs offer diverse opportunities for students to gain valuable experiences during their time off from traditional education. Projects Abroad Projects abroadca In Projects Abroad, students volunteer in organized conservation projects, such as Giraffe & Lion Conservation in Kenya, and health and education outreach programs, as well as sightsee on three continents — South America, East Africa and Asia. The program runs from September to March and includes time for independent travel. For students who can’t commit seven months away, 6-to-10-week Gap Semester programs are also available. Katimavik Katimavik.org Katimavik’s Future Perfect is a 14-week program where participants obtain salaried employment in the tourism industry in a Canadian city, as well as free accommodations, home phone and Internet, training and workshops. Travel expenses are also covered. The program is open to Canadian citizens and permanent residents aged 18 to 30. Discover Year Discover year.ca In a 10-month program, students get life training every couple weeks, learn skills like financial planning, complete community service projects, take field trips to workplaces and schools. While some of the curriculums are offered virtually, other elements are in-person. Completing the program remotely is an option, but they strongly encourage participants to attend a week-long get-together and introduction session in Ottawa at the beginning of the program. GVI Canada Gvicanada.ca GVI Canada arranges volunteer trips specifically in line with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals. Students can easily find one that matches their interest and career aspirations, whether that’s conservation, education, public health or gender equality, such as an 8-week trip to Thailand to help with a conservation project for elephants and sea turtles, and a gender-equality project for as little as one week in Cambodia. 1. Which program takes the longest time? A. Projects Abroad. B. Katimavik. C. Discover Year. D. GVI Canada. 2. Which website can you visit if you’ re interested in paid work? A. Discover year.ca. B. Katimavik.org. C. Projects abroad.ca. D. Guicanada.ca. 3. What do Projects Abroad and GVI Canada have in common? A. They offer guided tours. B. They leave time for independent travel. C They involve animal protection. D. They receive support from the United Nations. B Global warming is one of the most pressing environmental issues of our time. It refers to the long-term rise in the average temperature of the Earth’s climate system, primarily due to human activities such as burning fossil fuels and deforestation. As the climate warms, it leads to a variety of environmental impacts including the melting of ice caps, rising sea levels, and extreme weather events. One significant consequence of global warming is the melting of glacier ice. This not only causes sea levels to rise but also threatens coastal communities with flooding and erosion. For instance, islands in the Pacific Ocean are already experiencing the effects as their land slowly disappears beneath the waves. Moreover, global warming is responsible for more frequent and severe weather events. Increased temperatures can lead to more intense storms, floods, and droughts, disrupting ecosystems and human societies. In the United States, hurricanes have become more powerful with greater rainfall, leading to significant damage and loss of life. Addressing global warming requires international cooperation and individual efforts. Countries worldwide need to work together to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and develop sustainable energy sources. Meanwhile, individuals can make a difference by reducing energy consumption, supporting green initiatives, and raising awareness about climate issues. To combat global warming effectively, it’s essential for everyone to acknowledge the problem and take action before it’s too late. 4. Which causes the global warming in the article? A. Deforestation and burning fossil fuels. B. Much use of chemicals in agriculture. C. Nuclear energy production. D. Overfishing in the oceans. 5. What is one effect of glacier melting mentioned in the passage? A. Rise-in agricultural productivity. B. Creation of new land habitats. C. Threats to coastal communities. D. Decrease in desert areas. 6. How has global warming affected weather patterns? A. It has made winters milder. B. It has made summers cooler. C Bad weather events happened more often. D. It has decreased the number of sunny days. 7. What action is suggested in the article as part of addressing global warming? A. Relocating coastal residents. B. Constructing more sea barriers. C. Increasing nuclear energy production. D. Developing sustainable energy sources. C Hadeda ibises, known as “African alarm clocks” for their loud calls, have long legs and thin beaks (鸟喙) and shiny feathers on their wings. Historically restricted to northeastern South Africa, hadedas have significantly expanded their range to many urban areas. Various ibises use remote-touch to detect movements of prey (猎物) in the soil and locate their hidden place. This ability is facilitated by a sensory organ in their beaks, called the bill-tip organ, which developed during the time of the dinosaurs. My recent research confirmed that hadedas have this“sixth sense” and found it is closely tied to soil moisture (湿度) levels. We conducted sensory tests with hadedas in bird cages. We presented them with boxes of soil containing buried worms (虫), masking any sounds with white noise and mixing dead worms into the soil to remove scent cues (气味线索). The birds consistently found live worms faster than dead ones, indicating they are able to sense movements of prey and use remote-touch to find them. Further testing revealed that hadedas found worms more quickly in wetter soils. If the soil was too dry, they lost this ability and had to rely on random searching. These findings suggest that the hadedas’ expansion in SouthAfrica is related to increased artificial watering systems. They require wet soil to use remote-touch effectively,which could explain their absence in dry regions. Droughts and heatwaves, expected to worsen with climate change, could threaten their population by making prey detection more challenging. The study highlights the broader implications for other remote-touch hunting birds, many of which are already endangered. As soil moisture levels decrease, these birds could become more at risk, stressing the importance of considering sensory requirements in conservation efforts. 8. What do we know about hadeda ibises? A. They are known for shiny feathers. B. They barely see any rise in numbers. C. They recall images of the dinosaurs. D. They have a specialized sensory organ. 9. Why were white noise and dead worms used in the experiment? A. To get a more reliable result. B. To add experimental items. C. To copy natural habitats. D. To avoid disturbing the subjects. 10. What does the research suggest about the impact of climate change on hadedas? A. Climate change will decrease their reliance on soil moisture. B. Droughts could make it more difficult for them to find prey. C. Increased rainfall will help them relocate to urbanized areas. D. Rising temperatures could increase their feeding efficiency. 11. What does the text mainly talk about? A. The specialty of hadedas’ organs. B. The masters of dry land hunting. C. Hadedas’ prey detection in wet soil. D. Hadedas ibises’ urban expansion. D If you could take a pill to “cure” your loneliness, would you take it? The “loneliness epidemic (流行病)” has been widely reported and commented upon across the world in recent years, affecting young and old. There have even been numerous urgent calls by governments to address it. However, some researchers question whether we really have the credible data to back up such claims. Should we struggle to eradicate it, as we would a virus or a disease? Psychologist James Hillman had concerns about viewing loneliness as a pathology (病理学). He noted that solutions like socializing in recovery groups suggest we should get rid of loneliness. But Hillman argued that if loneliness is a natural part of us, it will naturally come and go throughout our lives, regardless of our efforts to avoid it. I have spent much of my career researching loneliness, conducting hundreds of interviews and observing its many versions across all ages. My findings suggest that loneliness is not a single feeling but a label for a range of human experiences and unmet needs related to disconnection, which may be inevitable at times. In my book All the Lonely People: Conversations on Loneliness, I present various examples of loneliness, drawn from numerous projects and interviews, each offering a glimpse into different aspects of this condition. Stories help us identify what loneliness looks like and how it is lived. They also show that loneliness is part of most people’ s life journeys. Accepting this reality may be more sensible than pathologizing it, which can create shame and force people to hide their loneliness. This is not to ignore loneliness, which is challenging and difficult. But stories allow us to share our loneliness,unburden ourselves, and connect with others. The suffering in loneliness often originates from being alone with it. Ultimately, the answer to loneliness may lie in learning to live alongside it, rather than denying its existence or trying to root it out. 12. What does the underlined word “eradicate” most probably mean? A. Remove. B. Change. C. Highlight. D. Identify. 13. What is the author’s research approach to studying loneliness? A. Observing physical responses in trials. B. Collecting a variety or typical cases C. Reviewing published research papers. D. Taking a questionnaire survey analysis. 14. What is the main purpose of the author sharing “stories”? A. To inform how loneliness varies with age. B. To emphasize the importance of storytelling. C. To show complexities of human loneliness. D. To express his sympathy for the suffering. 15. What is the author’s suggestion for the issue of loneliness? A. Overcome it by staying busy. B. Engage with social activities. C. Coexist peacefully with it. D. Turn to experts for guidance. 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。 According to Jessica Hagy author of How to Be Interesting, it’s not difficult to make yourself interesting at a dinner party. ___16___, if you’re out of your comfort zone or if you’re wandering into somebody’s house for the first time.

Wherever she went, she was in the spotlight, with a bunch of kids following her and doing everything she did. Her deskmate, Landy, however, was not in the cool kids’ group. Being the tallest kid in their class, she was teased by their classmates, who were always chanting “Landy, Landy, long as spaghetti (意大利面)”. Every time Landy heard those silly chants, she could feel her face burst into flames. God knew how she wished the ground to crack and swallow her! Catherine didn’t really like it when the kids chanted “Landy, Landy, long as spaghetti”. But she never told them to stop either, and nor did she ever talk to Landy. She liked being popular. One weekend, Catherine went over to her grandfather for Thanksgiving. Her grandfather lives on a farm at the opposite end of town, where he keeps chickens. While helping to feed the chickens, Catherine noticed a peculiar one. Curling in the corner, it looked smaller than the others and was almost half-bare! “What’s the matter with it?” she asked her grandfather, with a puzzled frown on her face. Her grandfather told her how chickens could act. “They have a pecking (啄) order,” he explained, wrinkles of concern spreading around his forehead. “If one chicken is different, the others will push it away and keep pecking it. Sometimes they peck it so much that it dies.” “Oh, what a poor little thing!” Catherine let out a sigh as she scooped (捧起) the frightened chicken up in her arms, whose heart was beating fast in the bony little body. 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。 Suddenly, she thought of Landy, the girl being “pecked” by her classmates. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “Hey, guys, that’s enough!” Catherine’s voice was firm and loud. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024—2025学年度第二学期0321质量检测试题 高二年级英语 笔试部分 第二部分 阅读(共两节，满分 50 分) 第一节(共 15 小题;每小题 2.5 分，满分 37.5 分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的 A 、B 、C 、D 四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Interest in gap years is increasing.

A 10. B 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了噪鹮的特征，通过实验研究其利用“远程触觉”感知猎物的能力与土壤湿度的关系，以及气候变化对其的影响。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Various ibises use remote touch to detect movements of prey (猎物) in the soil and locate their hidden place. This ability is facilitated by a sensory organ in their beaks, called the bill tip organ, which developed during the time of the dinosaurs. (各种朱鹭利用远程触觉来探测土壤中猎物的移动并定位它们的藏身之处。这种能力得益于它们喙中的一种感觉器官，叫做喙尖器官，它在恐龙时代就已经形成了)”可知，噪鹮有一个专门的感觉器官。故选D项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“We presented them with boxes of soil containing buried worms (虫), masking any sounds with white noise and mixing dead worms into the soil to remove scent cues (气味线索). The birds consistently found live worms faster than dead ones, indicating they are able to sense movements of prey and use remote touch to find them. (我们给它们提供装有埋着虫子的土壤盒子，用白噪音掩盖任何声音，并将死虫子混入土壤中以消除气味线索。这些鸟总是比找到死虫子更快地找到活虫子，这表明它们能够感知猎物的移动并利用远程触觉来找到它们)”可知，使用白噪音和死虫子是为了排除声音和气味线索的干扰，从而得到更可靠的实验结果，证明噪鹮是通过远程触觉感知猎物的。故选A项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Droughts and heatwaves, expected to worsen with climate change, could threaten their population by making prey detection more challenging. (随着气候变化，预计干旱和热浪将加剧，这可能会使猎物探测变得更具挑战性，从而威胁到它们的数量)”可知，干旱会让噪鹮更难找到猎物。故选B项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第二段中“My recent research confirmed that hadedas have this ‘sixth sense’ and found it is closely tied to soil moisture (湿度) levels. (我最近的研究证实，噪鹮有这种‘第六感’，并发现它与土壤湿度水平密切相关)”以及后文围绕噪鹮在不同湿度土壤中探测猎物的研究内容可知，本文主要讲的是噪鹮在湿润土壤中探测猎物的情况。故选C项。 D If you could take a pill to “cure” your loneliness, would you take it? The “loneliness epidemic (流行病)” has been widely reported and commented upon across the world in recent years, affecting young and old.

But Hillman argued that if loneliness is a natural part of us, it will naturally come and go throughout our lives, regardless of our efforts to avoid it. I have spent much of my career researching loneliness, conducting hundreds of interviews and observing its many versions across all ages. My findings suggest that loneliness is not a single feeling but a label for a range of human experiences and unmet needs related to disconnection, which may be inevitable at times. In my book All the Lonely People: Conversations on Loneliness, I present various examples of loneliness, drawn from numerous projects and interviews, each offering a glimpse into different aspects of this condition. Stories help us identify what loneliness looks like and how it is lived. They also show that loneliness is part of most people’ s life journeys. Accepting this reality may be more sensible than pathologizing it, which can create shame and force people to hide their loneliness. This is not to ignore loneliness, which is challenging and difficult. But stories allow us to share our loneliness,unburden ourselves, and connect with others. The suffering in loneliness often originates from being alone with it. Ultimately, the answer to loneliness may lie in learning to live alongside it, rather than denying its existence or trying to root it out. 12. What does the underlined word “eradicate” most probably mean? A. Remove. B. Change. C. Highlight. D. Identify. 13. What is the author’s research approach to studying loneliness? A. Observing physical responses in trials. B. Collecting a variety or typical cases C. Reviewing published research papers. D. Taking a questionnaire survey analysis. 14. What is the main purpose of the author sharing “stories”? A. To inform how loneliness varies with age. B. To emphasize the importance of storytelling. C To show complexities of human loneliness. D. To express his sympathy for the suffering. 15. What is the author’s suggestion for the issue of loneliness? A. Overcome it by staying busy. B. Engage with social activities. C. Coexist peacefully with it. D. Turn to experts for guidance. 【答案】12. A 13. B 14. C 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章讨论了孤独的本质以及我们对待它的态度。 【12题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“If you could take a pill to “cure” your loneliness, would you take it?(如果你能吃一颗药丸来“治愈”你的孤独，你会吃吗？)”和下文“...as we would a virus or a disease (就像我们对付病毒或疾病一样)”可知，作者把治疗孤独和治疗病毒或者疾病相类比，询问我们是否应该像对付病毒或疾病那样，吃一颗药丸来治愈或消除它，划线词eradicate意为“消除”，与Remove同义。故选A。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“I have spent much of my career researching loneliness, conducting hundreds of interviews and observing its many versions across all ages. My findings suggest that loneliness is not a single feeling but a label for a range of human experiences and unmet needs related to disconnection, which may be inevitable at times. In my book All the Lonely People: Conversations on Loneliness, I present various examples of loneliness, drawn from numerous projects and interviews, each offering a glimpse into different aspects of this condition. (我职业生涯的大部分时间都在研究孤独，进行了数百次采访，观察了各个年龄段的不同版本。我的研究结果表明，孤独不是一种单一的感觉，而是一系列人类经历和未满足的需求的标签，这些需求与断开联系有关，有时可能是不可避免的。在我的书《所有孤独的人：关于孤独的对话》中，我展示了各种各样的孤独的例子，这些例子来自于许多项目和采访，每一个都提供了对这种情况的不同方面的一瞥)”可知，作者通过访谈和观察，并且整合了多个项目和访谈中的案例，为研究提供了丰富的细节和真实情境。故选B。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Stories help us identify what loneliness looks like and how it is lived. They also show that loneliness is part of most people’ s life journeys. Accepting this reality may be more sensible than pathologizing it, which can create shame and force people to hide their loneliness. (故事帮助我们确定孤独是什么样子的，以及它是如何生活的。它们还表明，孤独是大多数人生命旅程的一部分。接受这一现实可能比病态化更明智，因为病态化会让人感到羞耻，迫使人们隐藏自己的孤独)”可知，故事帮助人们理解并接受孤独是一种自然的人生经历，而不是让孤独成为一种羞耻或病理化的问题。所以作者通过故事展现孤独在人们生活中的不同表现形式，帮助读者认识到孤独的复杂性。故选C。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Ultimately, the answer to loneliness may lie in learning to live alongside it, rather than denying its existence or trying to root it out. (最终，孤独的答案可能在于学会与它共存，而不是否认它的存在或试图根除它)”可知，作者建议与其试图完全消除孤独，不如学会与孤独和平共处。故选C。 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。 According to Jessica Hagy, author of How to Be Interesting, it’s not difficult to make yourself interesting at a dinner party. ___16___, if you’re out of your comfort zone or if you’re wandering into somebody’s house for the first time.

Wherever she went, she was in the spotlight, with a bunch of kids following her and doing everything she did. Her deskmate, Landy, however, was not in the cool kids’ group. Being the tallest kid in their class, she was teased by their classmates, who were always chanting “Landy, Landy, long as spaghetti (意大利面)”. Every time Landy heard those silly chants, she could feel her face burst into flames. God knew how she wished the ground to crack and swallow her! Catherine didn’t really like it when the kids chanted “Landy, Landy, long as spaghetti”. But she never told them to stop either, and nor did she ever talk to Landy. She liked being popular. One weekend, Catherine went over to her grandfather for Thanksgiving. Her grandfather lives on a farm at the opposite end of town, where he keeps chickens. While helping to feed the chickens, Catherine noticed a peculiar one. Curling in the corner, it looked smaller than the others and was almost half-bare! “What’s the matter with it?” she asked her grandfather, with a puzzled frown on her face. Her grandfather told her how chickens could act. “They have a pecking (啄) order,” he explained, wrinkles of concern spreading around his forehead. “If one chicken is different, the others will push it away and keep pecking it. Sometimes they peck it so much that it dies.” “Oh, what a poor little thing!” Catherine let out a sigh as she scooped (捧起) the frightened chicken up in her arms, whose heart was beating fast in the bony little body. 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。 Suddenly, she thought of Landy, the girl being “pecked” by her classmates. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “Hey, guys, that’s enough!” Catherine’s voice was firm and loud. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Suddenly, she thought of Landy, the girl being “pecked” by her classmates. The image of the small, scared chicken in her arms overlapped with the image of Landy’s face turning red with embarrassment every time the kids teased her. Catherine realized that Landy was just like this poor chicken, being pecked for being different. Catherine decided she needed to do something about it. Back at school on Monday, when she heard the familiar chant of “Landy, Landy, long as spaghetti”, she didn’t stay silent. Taking a deep breath, she stepped forward and faced the chanting crowd. “Hey, guys, that’s enough!” Catherine’s voice was firm and loud. “It’s not funny to make fun of someone just because they’re different. It hurts, and it’s not fair.” The kids looked at each other, a bit embarrassed and unsure of what to do next. Catherine walked to comfort Landy and invited her to lunch. Landy looked up, surprise and relief flooding her face. As they walked to lunch together, Catherine knew she had done the right thing. Slowly but surely, the other kids began to follow her example, realizing that being kind and inclusive was much cooler than being popular at the expense of others. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Catherine是班上最酷的孩子，无论她去哪里，她都是聚光灯下的人物，一群孩子跟着她，做她做的每一件事；而她的同桌——Landy作为班里最高的孩子，经常被同学们取笑。Catherine不太喜欢同学们嘲笑Landy，但她也从来没有叫他们停下来，也从来没有和她说话。直到有一天，Catherine在爷爷的农场看到一只被欺负的小鸡才对Lancy有了愧疚之情，返校制止其他人的不良行为，安慰Lancy并邀请她吃午饭。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“突然，她想起了Landy，那个被同学‘啄’的女孩。”可知，第一段可描写Catherine意识到自己之前对待Landy的态度不好，要用实际行动改变。 ②由第二段首句内容“‘嘿，伙计们，够了!’Catherine的声音坚定而响亮。”可知，第二段可描写Catherine制止了其他人的不良行为并邀请Landy吃午饭，其它孩子也以Catherine榜样意识到善良和包容比牺牲他人来受欢迎要酷得多。 2. 续写线索：想到被欺负的Landy——再次看到Landy被欺负——决定帮助Landy——其它孩子也以Catherine为榜样不再嘲笑Landy 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①意识到：realize/be aware of ②决定：decide/determine ③嘲笑：tease/laugh at 情绪类 ①尴尬的：embarrassed/awkward ②沉默的：wordless/silent 【点睛】【高分句型1】Back at school on Monday, when she heard the familiar chant of “Landy, Landy, long as spaghetti,” she didn’t stay silent. (由连词when引导的时间状语从句) 【高分句型2】Taking a deep breath, she stepped forward and faced the chanting crowd. (现在分词作状语) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
