Mike Shepherd(2011) Skiddaw in Winter Cumbria, England It was an extremely cold winter’s evening and freezing fog hung in the air. I climbed to the top of a small rise and realised that the mist was little more than a few feet deep, and though it was only a short climb, I found myself completely above it and looking at a wonderfully clear view of Skiddaw with the sun setting in the west. I used classical techniques, translated from my college days spent in the darkroom into Photoshop, to achieve the black—and—white image(图像). Timothy Smith(2014) Macclesfield Forest Cheshire, England I was back in my home town of Macclesfield to take some winter images. Walking up a path through the forest towards Shutlingsloe. a local high point, I came across a small clearing and immediately noticed the dead yellow grasses set against the fresh snow. The small pine added to the interest and I placed it centrally to take the view from the foreground right through into the forest. 1. Who would most probably enter for Take a view? A. Writers. B. Photographers. C. Painters. D. Tourists. 2. What do the works by Shepherd and Smith have in common? A. They are winter images. B. They are in black and white. C. They show mountainous scenes. D.

B As Alexandria Country Day School’s sixth-graders created small 3D-printed villages to deal with homelessness, they learned lessons beyond technology (科技). The project which was inspired by life-size 3D-printed homes built by a Texas-based technology company, aimed to make housing accessible for everyone. Using inexpensive materials the students built strong homes in just a few days. 11-year-old Salwa Seman and Zoe Mandel, found creating settings challenging but worthwhile. “If the temperature of the printer is too hot or cold, or if the printed walls are tooth in, the constructions might fail,” said Salwa Seman. “You learn from your mistakes and make adaptations,” said Zoe Mandel. The tech-focused project quickly developed into “an exercise in understanding, creation, and partnership to bring about lasting change,” said science teacher Alison McDonald. “When most people think of helping the homeless, they think of food and clothing,” said Juliet Galicia, 11. While necessary, those are solutions only for the moment. Even housing alone is not a full answer. “We wanted to include other things that would make it feel more like a real community,” said Luke Wazorko, 11. A community garden, a place to raise chickens, a stadium for shared events, bus stops for access to jobs, and service for Wi-Fi and cellphones to help with job searches were important features offered to formerly unhoused residents. “They get it!” said Amber Fogarty, president of a nonprofit organization helping homelessness in Austin. “The biggest reason for long-term homelessness is a serious lack in family relationships,” she said. “Housing alone will never solve homelessness, but community will People need a place where they are known, cared and loved.” 4. What is the aim of the project on 3D-printed villages? A. To raise money for the homeless. B. To win a competition on 3D printing. C. To teach students advanced technology. D. To provide accommodation for the homeless. 5. What lesson does Salwa and Zoe’s experience tell us? A. Courage contributes to success. B. Challenges help us progress. C. Teamwork ensures glory. D. Well begun is half done. 6. According to the text, how can homelessness be fully solved? A. By donating food and clothing. B. By providing high-tech shelters. C. By building open gardening space. D. By creating a supportive environment. 7. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text? A. Future of Housing: Tech Giants’ Role B. Modem Architecture: a Long Way to Go C. A Common Dream: Story of City Planning D. A Shared Community: Young Minds at Work C Expanding land for cows is the single biggest factor of rainforest loss in the Amazon. Deforestation reduces habitats for endangered species and releases planet-heating carbon dioxide. Actually, the Amazon is vulnerable. Its trees create moist (湿润的) clouds that make rain. If too many trees are cut down, the system could break down, drying the region and releasing a dangerous amount of carbon dioxide. “Reducing beef and dairy consumption has to be part of the solution for saving the Amazon and reducing climate pollution,” says Tim Searchinger, a senior research scholar at Princeton University. However, Over the last three decades, the number of cows Molina and his family raise per hectare in the Amazon has nearly doubled, and milk production has increased. The reason is that they have transformed their farm into a completely different environment. “This is the best hotel for a cow. With controlled temperatures and very good quality food, the cows sleep peacefully.” Molina said. The controlled temperatures are provided by trees. In 1993, the Molinas planted trees and plants across their farm, which now offer shade to cool the cows. The seed pods (种荚) and leaves from these trees give the cows protein-rich nutrition. As Molina walks through the farm, he picks up some black, soft soil, similar to coffee grounds. The trees on the farm support bacteria that “fix” nitrogen, enriching the soil without the need for chemical fertilizers. Fertilizer production contributes to about 5% of global greenhouse gas emissions. Molina explains that they no longer need to use nitrogen fertilizers, saving money and reducing climate pollution. Additionally, the trees provide shade that cools the area and helps keep moisture in the soil. This has reduced the farm’s need for irrigation, helping it to get through recent regional droughts. By adopting these practices, the Molina family has increased the productivity of cows and dairy farms while minimizing environmental harm, proving that eco-friendly farming can help protect both the land and the climate. 8. What does the underlined word “vulnerable” in paragraph 1 probably mean? A. Closely monitored. B. Easily damaged. C. Specially protected. D. Largely untouched. 9. What is the function of paragraph 3? A. To demonstrate ways to increase productivity of cows. B. To stress the necessity of reducing dairy consumption. C. To highlight the urgency of environmental protection. D. To compare traditional and modern farming practices. 10. How do the trees benefit the soil according to the text? A By fixing soil structure with their roots. B. By providing shade and cooling the cows. C. By fertilizing the soil and holding moisture. D. By absorbing harmful chemicals in the soil. 11. What is the text mainly about? A. Innovative farming practices stop deforestation. B. Planting trees helps to reduce climate pollution. C. Cow raising threatens the ecosystem in the Amazon. D. Eco-friendly farming balances cows and the Amazon. D Windows brighten a room, and give us a view outside of it. They also let in a large amount of heat from the sun. In fact, about 87% of heat gains in a given space come through its windows. This is because ultraviolet (紫外线的) radiation passes through glass easily. To keep out the heat, people use window coverings like curtains, but this also blocks the view. A recent study indicates that soon people who love a view — but hate the heat — will be able to have it both ways. The study presents a new window coating that could let in sunlight and keep out the heat. Window films and heat-blocking coatings are not a new concept. So, what’s new about this coating? It’s all about the angles. Because windows are placed vertically (垂直地), sunlight hits them at different angles throughout the day. If a given coating only blocks ultraviolet light at a 90-degree angle, it is only useful at the time of day at which the sun hits the glass at that angle. “The angle between the sunshine and the window is always changing. Our coating maintains functionality and efficiency wherever the sun’s position is in the sky,” said the lead author of the study. Instead of trying to use trial and error, which could take years, the scientists used AI machine-learning model assisted by quantum (量子的) computing to figure out the way to create an ideal window coating. The coating can remain clear and keep a room cool at any given hour of the day, regardless of the angle at which the sunlight is hitting the window. There are endless numbers of practical applications for this new window coating, from commercial use to home use, and even for use in the cars. It will certainly lower energy use as people all over the world turn off their air conditioners and electric fans and still enjoy the view. 12. What is a disadvantage of window coverings? A. They are expensive. B. They are difficult to install. C. They prevent the view outside. D. They can’t block the heat effectively. 13. What makes the new window coating unique? A. It blocks all sunlight. B. It is efficient at a fixed angle. C. It changes color with sunlight. D. It works in all sunlight conditions. 14. How did scientists develop the new window coating? A. By trial and error. B. With quantum computing and AI. C. By imitating existing window films. D. With traditional machine-learning models. 15. What is the author’s attitude toward the new window coating? A. Doubtful. B. Unclear. C. Critical. D. Optimistic. 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。 Appreciating a poem begins with understanding the context. Ask yourself questions such as what is the poem about?

The views from the top of the mountain were breathtaking. In all directions, valleys, forests and other mountains were laid out before them. They could even see the small wooden houses of the village where they had spent the night and the route they had taken to reach the top of this small but dangerous mountain. Laughing loudly, they were surprised at their courage in climbing such a steep and rocky mountain slope. Filled with an enormous sense of achievement, the four young climbers patted each other on the back. As the other three continued to enjoy the views, Jason, the leader of the group, stared at the horizon with a troubled look on his face. “What is it, Jason?” Sofia, the youngest of the group, asked. “Those dark clouds in the distance mean a heavy storm is fast on the way,” Jason replied. He remembered the villagers had warned him of the unpredictable weather conditions on top of the mountain and that a terrible storm could appear from nowhere. “But it’s so warm and sunny here. I don’t think the storm is coming this way,” Sofia said, more in hope than expectation. However, Jason feared the worst and knew only too well what would happen if the storm caught them in the open. He addressed the group in a calm but serious tone, “If the storm hits us, the temperature will fall dramatically. The rain and mist will make it difficult for us to see where we are going and we could easily get lost or fall off a cliff. The wind will take our strength, so we need to get moving fast.” The four mountain climbers packed up their facilities and immediately started back down the mountain. Unfortunately, despite their best efforts, the storm was upon them sooner than expected. The wind screamed in their ears, the driving rain stung (刺痛) their eyes and the mist made it impossible for them to see clearly. 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。 With it getting dark, Jason decided that it was just too dangerous to continue. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Finally, the storm showed signs of stopping and the climbers stepped out of the shelter. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024～2025学年度下学期2023级(高二)期中考试 英语 (试卷满分：150分 考试时间：120分钟) 注意事项: 1. 答题前，考生务必将学校．班级．姓名．考号填写在答题卡上。 2. 考生请在答题卡上作答(答题注意事项见答题卡)，在本试题上作答无效。 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.

Deforestation reduces habitats for endangered species and releases planet-heating carbon dioxide. Actually, the Amazon is vulnerable. Its trees create moist (湿润的) clouds that make rain. If too many trees are cut down, the system could break down, drying the region and releasing a dangerous amount of carbon dioxide. “Reducing beef and dairy consumption has to be part of the solution for saving the Amazon and reducing climate pollution,” says Tim Searchinger, a senior research scholar at Princeton University. However, Over the last three decades, the number of cows Molina and his family raise per hectare in the Amazon has nearly doubled, and milk production has increased. The reason is that they have transformed their farm into a completely different environment. “This is the best hotel for a cow. With controlled temperatures and very good quality food, the cows sleep peacefully.” Molina said. The controlled temperatures are provided by trees. In 1993, the Molinas planted trees and plants across their farm, which now offer shade to cool the cows. The seed pods (种荚) and leaves from these trees give the cows protein-rich nutrition. As Molina walks through the farm, he picks up some black, soft soil, similar to coffee grounds. The trees on the farm support bacteria that “fix” nitrogen, enriching the soil without the need for chemical fertilizers. Fertilizer production contributes to about 5% of global greenhouse gas emissions. Molina explains that they no longer need to use nitrogen fertilizers, saving money and reducing climate pollution. Additionally, the trees provide shade that cools the area and helps keep moisture in the soil. This has reduced the farm’s need for irrigation, helping it to get through recent regional droughts. By adopting these practices, the Molina family has increased the productivity of cows and dairy farms while minimizing environmental harm, proving that eco-friendly farming can help protect both the land and the climate. 8. What does the underlined word “vulnerable” in paragraph 1 probably mean? A. Closely monitored. B. Easily damaged. C. Specially protected. D. Largely untouched. 9. What is the function of paragraph 3? A. To demonstrate ways to increase productivity of cows. B. To stress the necessity of reducing dairy consumption. C. To highlight the urgency of environmental protection. D. To compare traditional and modern farming practices. 10. How do the trees benefit the soil according to the text? A. By fixing soil structure with their roots. B. By providing shade and cooling the cows. C. By fertilizing the soil and holding moisture. D. By absorbing harmful chemicals in the soil. 11. What is the text mainly about? A. Innovative farming practices stop deforestation. B. Planting trees helps to reduce climate pollution. C. Cow raising threatens the ecosystem in the Amazon. D. Eco-friendly farming balances cows and the Amazon. 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是通过生态友好的农业实践，如种植树木和减少化肥使用，如何在提高奶牛养殖效率的同时保护亚马逊雨林。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线单词后的“Its trees create moist (湿润的) clouds that make rain. If too many trees are cut down, the system could break down, drying the region and releasing a dangerous amount of carbon dioxide.(它的树木通过制造湿润的云层来形成降雨。如果砍伐过多的树木，这个系统可能会崩溃，使该地区变得干燥，并释放出危险量的二氧化碳。)”可知，砍伐过多的树木，系统可能会崩溃，导致地区干旱并释放大量二氧化碳，由此可知，亚马逊雨林容易受到破坏，所以，划线单词的意思与“容易受损的”意义相近。故选B项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“However, Over the last three decades, the number of cows Molina and his family raise per hectare in the Amazon has nearly doubled, and milk production has increased. The reason is that they have transformed their farm into a completely different environment.(然而，在过去的三十年里，Molina一家在亚马逊每公顷饲养的奶牛数量几乎翻了一番，牛奶产量也有所增加。原因是他们将农场改造成了一个完全不同的环境。)”可知，Molina一家的奶牛数量几乎翻了一番，牛奶产量也有所增加，结合第三段中的“The controlled temperatures are provided by trees. In 1993, the Molinas planted trees and plants across their farm, which now offer shade to cool the cows. The seed pods (种荚) and leaves from these trees give the cows protein-rich nutrition. (这些可控的温度由树木提供。1993年，Molina一家在农场种植了树木和植物，现在这些树木为奶牛提供了阴凉。这些树木的种子荚和树叶为奶牛提供了富含蛋白质的营养。)”可知，第三段描述Molina一家通过种植树木和植物为奶牛提供控制温度的环境和高质量的食物（如种子荚和树叶），从而提高奶牛的生产效率，由此可知，该段的重点是展示提高奶牛生产力的方法。故选A项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“The trees on the farm support bacteria that “fix” nitrogen, enriching the soil without the need for chemical fertilizers. (农场上的树木支持能够“固定”氮的细菌，从而无需化学肥料即可肥沃土壤。)”以及“Additionally, the trees provide shade that cools the area and helps keep moisture in the soil. This has reduced the farm’s need for irrigation, helping it to get through recent regional droughts. (此外，树木提供的阴凉有助于冷却区域并帮助保持土壤湿度。这减少了农场对灌溉的需求，帮助它度过了最近的区域性干旱。)”可知，农场上的树木无需化学肥料即可肥沃土壤，而且树木提供的阴凉有助于保持土壤湿度，减少灌溉需求，由此可知，树木通过施肥和保持水分来改善土壤。故选C项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是尾段“By adopting these practices, the Molina family has increased the productivity of cows and dairy farms while minimizing environmental harm, proving that eco-friendly farming can help protect both the land and the climate. (通过采用这些做法，Molina 一家提高了奶牛和奶牛场的生产力，同时最大限度地减少了对环境的损害，证明了生态友好型农业可以帮助保护土地和气候。)”以及上文中介绍的Molina一家提高奶牛养殖的生产力，同时又减少对亚马逊雨林的环境破坏的方法可知，本文主要介绍的是生态友好型农业平衡了奶牛养殖和亚马逊的保护。故选D项。 D Windows brighten a room, and give us a view outside of it. They also let in a large amount of heat from the sun. In fact, about 87% of heat gains in a given space come through its windows. This is because ultraviolet (紫外线的) radiation passes through glass easily. To keep out the heat, people use window coverings like curtains, but this also blocks the view. A recent study indicates that soon people who love a view — but hate the heat — will be able to have it both ways. The study presents a new window coating that could let in sunlight and keep out the heat. Window films and heat-blocking coatings are not a new concept. So, what’s new about this coating? It’s all about the angles. Because windows are placed vertically (垂直地), sunlight hits them at different angles throughout the day. If a given coating only blocks ultraviolet light at a 90-degree angle, it is only useful at the time of day at which the sun hits the glass at that angle. “The angle between the sunshine and the window is always changing. Our coating maintains functionality and efficiency wherever the sun’s position is in the sky,” said the lead author of the study. Instead of trying to use trial and error, which could take years, the scientists used AI machine-learning model assisted by quantum (量子的) computing to figure out the way to create an ideal window coating. The coating can remain clear and keep a room cool at any given hour of the day, regardless of the angle at which the sunlight is hitting the window. There are endless numbers of practical applications for this new window coating, from commercial use to home use, and even for use in the cars. It will certainly lower energy use as people all over the world turn off their air conditioners and electric fans and still enjoy the view. 12. What is a disadvantage of window coverings? A. They are expensive. B. They are difficult to install. C. They prevent the view outside. D. They can’t block the heat effectively. 13. What makes the new window coating unique? A. It blocks all sunlight. B. It is efficient at a fixed angle. C. It changes color with sunlight. D. It works in all sunlight conditions. 14. How did scientists develop the new window coating? A. By trial and error. B. With quantum computing and AI. C. By imitating existing window films. D. With traditional machine-learning models. 15. What is the author’s attitude toward the new window coating? A. Doubtful. B. Unclear. C. Critical. D. Optimistic. 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. B 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了新型窗户涂层能透光隔热的研究发现。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第一段中“To keep out the heat, people use window coverings like curtains, but this also blocks the view. (为了阻挡热量，人们使用窗帘等窗户遮盖物，但这也会阻挡景色。)”可知，窗户遮盖物的一个缺点是它们会阻挡外面的景色。故选C。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第三段中“If a given coating only blocks ultraviolet light at a 90-degree angle, it is only useful at the time of day at which the sun hits the glass at that angle. “The angle between the sunshine and the window is always changing. Our coating maintains functionality and efficiency wherever the sun’s position is in the sky,” said the lead author of the study. (如果一种涂层只能在90度角阻挡紫外线，那么它只有在太阳以那个角度照射到玻璃上时才有用。而阳光和窗户之间的角度总是在变化。研究的首席作者说：“无论太阳在天空中的位置如何，我们的涂层都能保持功能和效率。”)”可知，这种新的窗户涂层在所有阳光条件下都能发挥作用，这是它的独特之处。故选D。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第四段中“Instead of trying to use trial and error, which could take years, the scientists used AI machine-learning model assisted by quantum (量子的) computing to figure out the way to create an ideal window coating. (科学家没有试图使用可能需要数年时间的试错法，而是使用了量子计算辅助的人工智能机器学习模型来找出创造理想窗户涂层的方法。)”可知，科学家是借助量子计算和人工智能开发出这种新的窗户涂层的。故选B。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。由文章最后一段中“There are endless numbers of practical applications for this new window coating, from commercial use to home use, and even for use in the cars. It will certainly lower energy use as people all over the world turn off their air conditioners and electric fans and still enjoy the view. (这种新的窗户涂层有着无数的实际应用，从商业用途到家庭用途，甚至汽车上都可以使用。随着世界各地的人们关掉空调和电扇，它肯定会降低能源消耗，同时仍然可以欣赏风景。)”可知，作者对这种新的窗户涂层持乐观态度。故选D。 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。 Appreciating a poem begins with understanding the context.

The views from the top of the mountain were breathtaking. In all directions, valleys, forests and other mountains were laid out before them. They could even see the small wooden houses of the village where they had spent the night and the route they had taken to reach the top of this small but dangerous mountain. Laughing loudly, they were surprised at their courage in climbing such a steep and rocky mountain slope. Filled with an enormous sense of achievement, the four young climbers patted each other on the back. As the other three continued to enjoy the views, Jason, the leader of the group, stared at the horizon with a troubled look on his face. “What is it, Jason?” Sofia, the youngest of the group, asked. “Those dark clouds in the distance mean a heavy storm is fast on the way,” Jason replied. He remembered the villagers had warned him of the unpredictable weather conditions on top of the mountain and that a terrible storm could appear from nowhere. “But it’s so warm and sunny here. I don’t think the storm is coming this way,” Sofia said, more in hope than expectation. However, Jason feared the worst and knew only too well what would happen if the storm caught them in the open. He addressed the group in a calm but serious tone, “If the storm hits us, the temperature will fall dramatically. The rain and mist will make it difficult for us to see where we are going and we could easily get lost or fall off a cliff. The wind will take our strength, so we need to get moving fast.” The four mountain climbers packed up their facilities and immediately started back down the mountain. Unfortunately, despite their best efforts, the storm was upon them sooner than expected. The wind screamed in their ears, the driving rain stung (刺痛) their eyes and the mist made it impossible for them to see clearly. 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。 With it getting dark, Jason decided that it was just too dangerous to continue. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Finally, the storm showed signs of stopping and the climbers stepped out of the shelter. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 With it getting dark, Jason decided that it was just too dangerous to continue. He gathered the group in the shelter of a large rock, where he noticed that the other three were frightened and looking to him for a way out. Pushed by responsibility and pressure of leadership, Jason, shouting against the wind, explained that the safest thing for the moment was taking shelter from the pouring rain. They had expected that the storm would pass very soon. However, as darkness settled over them, the shower swept in. How time dragged! Finally, the storm showed signs of stopping and the climbers stepped out of the shelter. Unbearably cold and hungry, they felt their way downward with great difficulty, eager for a miracle. Suddenly, something caught Jason’s eye. Was it a flash of light? There it was again…and another! In response, Jason immediately flashed his torch, exclaiming, “Over here! We are here!” His companions joined in. Rescue eventually arrived. Seeing the climbers, all the searching villagers breathed a sigh of relief and lovingly helped them return to the village. You see, weather changes but love remains 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了四名登山者在登山的时候遭遇了暴风雨，被困在了户外。多亏了领队Jason冷静应对，带领大家躲雨，最终坚持到了救援人员到来。 详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“随着天色渐黑，Jason觉得继续下去太危险了。”可知，第一段可描写Jason在责任和领导压力的推动下为大家寻找避雨处。 ②由第二段首句内容“最后，风暴显示出停止的迹象，登山者走出了避难所。”可知，第二段可描写登山者下山时遇到了赶来的救援人员。 2.续写线索：登山者害怕——寻找避雨处——躲雨等雨停——雨停——开始下山——遇到救援人员——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①注意到：notice/ observe ②预期：expect/anticipate ③看见：see/spot/catch sight of 情绪类 ①害怕：frightened /scared ②渴望：eager for /long for 【点睛】[高分句型1] He gathered the group in the shelter of a large rock, where he noticed that the other three were frightened and looking to him for a way out.
