I chose this particular artwork for several reasons. What sets it apart from others is Qi Baishi’s unique style and capability to perceive the essence of nature and harmony. Besides, in the perception of most Chinese people, shrimp is associated with good fortune and prosperity, bringing luck and abundance. I though this would be a meaningful gift to express my appreciation for you positive influence on my life. I earnestly invite you to visit China, as the rich cultural heritage and traditions of my homeland will definitely feast your eyes and nurture your mind. Anticipating your arrival and embarking on a cultural journey with me. Yours, Li Hua 续写 Soon, there was a loud blaring noise to signal that the roller coaster was starting. Click, click, clunk, the roller coaster slowly inched out of the covered boarding area and into the launch and finally blasted off. As it accelerated, what I could only hear were the screams of excitement and the swooshing noises of the coaster car cutting through the wind. Gripped by fear, I squeezed my eyes shut, afraid of being shot out. At this moment, Christina’s tender voice came to my ear, “Please look out! You won’t regret experiencing it.” I summoned up courage to open my eyes, only to find we were boosting up a hill, the peak inching towards me slowly. The roller coaster was at its peak getting ready to drop. Suddenly, it boosted up and shot forward at an unimaginable speed. Frightened yet excited, I screamed out instinctively. It seemed that I was swooping down uncontrollably. Previous fear and anxiety faded, giving way to the newfound exhilaration. I didn’t freak out again. Instead I opened my arms to embrace this unparalleled experience. Finally, we arrived at the ground safely. Through this memorable trip, I realized each risk we took was a step out of the comfort zone and a testament to our courage. 9 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 北仑中学2024学年第二学期高二年级期中考试英语试卷 （全年级+外高班使用） 命题：高二英语备课组 审题：高二英语备课组 第Ⅰ卷 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.

Although protecting wildlife may seem too hard at times, even small actions in your own neighborhood can help protect many different animals. Here are some tips on how to protect wildlife through small actions. Create wildlife-friendly areas in your backyard When trying to make your garden more beautiful, you can choose plants that can provide food and shelter for the native wildlife. This will also help cut down on pollution. Besides, bird or bat houses in your yard or garden can attract and shelter more species. Have a greener lifestyle By using less water and fewer fuels, you will do good to help protect the wildlife around you. Take buses or the subway if you can, turn off the electric devices when you’re not using them, take showers for a shorter time, and keep the temperature in your room at or below 68 Fahrenheit degrees in winter. Buy products that are friendly to wildlife Don’t buy products that are made from endangered animals. Keep in mind that some endangered animals are killed by traps, or hunters who are eager to earn money with them. Donate money to organizations that protect wildlife and their habitats You can give money to organizations or groups that protect wildlife in your neighborhood, thus promoting their work. 21. What’s the purpose of this passage? A. To show the threats wildlife faces. B. To raise awareness of wildlife protection. C. To explain the importance of wildlife conservation. D. To introduce different ways to protect wildlife. 22. What is suggested in the passage to create wildlife-friendly areas? A. Building a bird or bat house. B. Using less water and fewer fuels. C. Donating money to organizations. D. Buying products made from endangered animals. 23. Which of the following actions is NOT recommended for a greener lifestyle? A. Providing food and shelter for wildlife. B. Taking showers for a shorter time. C. Keeping the room temperature low in winter. D. Turning off electric devices when not in use. B As we grow up, it becomes natural for people around us to lose contact with the hobbies that once were dominant in their lives. While it’s painful to accept this, the new reality becomes normal for most of us as we face new academic, adult and job responsibilities. I’ve been dancing since I was four and I plan to continue dancing in college. However, I’ve always feared that dancing will affect my study and eventually become a brilliant memory of my childhood. After learning about Sommer Gentry’s story, I had an answer. Sommer Gentry, previously a professor of mathematics at the United States Naval Academy and a coach at the Naval Academy’s Swing Dance Club, is currently a teacher at NYU Grossman School of Medicine. Gentry and her husband also started a swing dance community to introduce non-dancers to swing dance. Through teaching, Gentry was inspired to view dancing from an engineering point of view. She said, “I realized it is an engineering question: how do you dance well with someone? It’d be great to give people mathematical and engineering proofs that they have to dance the way I say.” Gentry investigated the complex haptic (触觉的) communication behind the moves in swing dance and showed that two persons could move in coordination (协调) with pure haptic communication, She entered an exciting area of research which is about engineering, psychology and human motor control. It’s incredibly inspiring that Gentry was able to intertwine her academic work with her passion for dancing. Gentry said, “It means that even when I’m dancing outside, I’m thinking about my research project.” Gentry found that digging into her academic interest does not mean letting go of her other non-academic ones. Instead, she found a way to include both in her professional life. Just like me, Gentry is a mathematician and dancer, thus, her story resonates strongly with me, and I want to be like her in the future. 24. What did the author think of dancing before learning of Gentry’s story? A. It was too challenging for her B. It’d gradually disappear from her life. C. It’d help develop her sense of responsibility. D. It brought her an unpleasant childhood memory. 25. What contributed to Gentry’s studying dancing from the angle of engineering? A. Her interest in exploring engineering proofs. B. Her husband’s need to promote his dance club. C. Her desire to be an expert in medicine and health. D. Her experience in teaching math and swing dance. 26. What does the underlined word “intertwine” in Paragraph 5 probably mean? A. Hardly balance B. Carefully compare. C. Closely combine. D. Successfully challenge. 27. What does the last paragraph imply about the author? A. She has decided to change her major. B. She will continue to pursue her hobby. C. She used to be Sommer Gentry’s student. D. She originally had little interest in engineering. C Arthur Lih of Massapequa sold his first LifeVac, a device to help save people’s life, to a fire department about 18 months ago, when the Jericho Fire Department purchased 21 of the devices. Now about 10 Long Island fire departments have purchased Lih’s invention, which is designed to draw foreign objects from the throats of choking victims when procedures such as the Heimlich Maneuver don’t work. He has sold about 5,000 LifeVac devices in the United States and abroad since the device went on the market in August 2014. The Freeport Fire Department is one of Lih’s clients. It bought about 25 LifeVac devices to put on trucks, as well as in chiefs’ vehicles, said Ray Maguire, the department’s executive director. “It’s an extra tool in the toolbox,” Maguire said. “I’d be surprised if anyone who sees it doesn’t purchase it. It’s that tool you may only need once, but it’s the tool you really want in case you need it. It’s affordable. I have it in my car. I have one at home, too.” Dr. Lee Smith at Northwell Health said that if a choking victim can’t breathe, he or she becomes a candidate for the Heimlich. If the Heimlich doesn’t work, the victim would probably lose consciousness because of a lack of oxygen. A challenge for any new medical device is convincing potential users that it works and is safe. In tests, the LifeVac successfully removed an obstruction from the throat of a dead human body on the first try 49 out of 50 times, according to an August research article in the American Journal of Emergency Medicine. Lih invented the product in his garage, inspired after he went with a friend to a hospital while the friend’s mother was going through tests. The friend said the last time he was there, a 7-year-old child had choked to death on a grape. 28. What’s the function of the LifeVac device? A. To put out the fire. B. To remove foreign objects. C. To design procedures. D. To treat victims’ throats. 29. What does Paragraph 2 mainly tell us about the invention? A. Its target users. B. Its practical necessity. C. Its major advantages. D. Its reasonable price 30. What inspired Lih to invent the product? A. A kid’s death. B. His client’s suggestion. C. A garage accident. D. Material rewards. 31. What is the text mainly about? A. A productive inventor. B. A convincing cure. C. An anti-choking device. D. An important toolbox. D A recent study issued in Science reveals that misinformation online spreads “further, quicker, more profoundly, and more widely than factual news”. This effect is particularly obvious for false political news compared to misinformation regarding terrorism, natural disasters, scientific topics, urban legends, or financial matters. False news is 70 percent more likely to be reported on Twitter than the truth, researchers found. And false news reached 1,500 people about six times faster than the truth. The study by Soroush Vosoughi and associate professor Deb Roy, both of the MIT Media Lab, and MIT Sloan professor Sinan Aral, is the largest-ever longitudinal (纵向的) study of the spread of false news online. It uses the term “false news” instead of “fake news” because the latter “has lost all connection to the actual accuracy of the information presented, making it meaningless for use in academic classification,” the authors write. To track the spread of news, the researchers investigated all the true and false news stories proved by six independent fact-checking organizations distributed on Twitter from 2006 to 2017. They studied approximately 126,000 cascades — “instances of a rumor (谣言) spreading pattern that exhibits an unbroken report chain with a common, single origin” — on Twitter about contested news stories posted by 3 million people more than 4.5 million times. Traditionally, either the application or the users are responsible for spreading rumors. The researchers conducted an experiment by removing Twitter robots before running their analysis. They then included the robots and ran the analysis again and found none of the main conclusions changed. So what to do? In an interview for the MIT Sloan Experts video series, Aral said possible solutions include labeling fake news much as food is labeled, making unfavorable financial policies such as reducing the flow of advertising dollars to accounts that spread fake news, and using algorithms (算法) to find and control the effect of fake news. 32. What is special about false news? A. It pays more attention to political information. B. It enjoys more online popularity than the truth. C. It misleads viewers with seemingly true words. D. It involves more types and fields than the truth. 33. For what consideration does the study use the term “false news”? A. Value of research. B. Academic tradition. C. Research methods. D. Severity of problems. 34. What might the experiment in Paragraph 3 show? A. Humans are more likely to spread false news than robots. B. The researchers didn’t rely on robots to reach conclusions. C. The number of views of the two analyses remains the same. D. Twitter robots have changed the spreading chain and pattern. 35. Which of the following tips does Aral agree with? A. Advertising to persuade people to identify fake news. B. Labeling fake news about food as much as possible. C. Using AI to locate fake news and weaken its harm. D. Collecting taxes on accounts spreading fake news. 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。 Many would love a deep connection when looking at a painting or sculpture.

They are thrill-seekers and go on the scariest rides. Every year, my father and I had the job of waiting on the line for them for their next ride. But on this day, my older sister, Christina encouraged me to ride the roller coaster with them. “You should try it you know. I think you’re tall enough now.” “I don’t want to go,” I said shaking my head. “Come on I promise you it’s really fun. You’re going to regret it if you don’t go because this is our last ride of the day.” I had to admit she could be convincing. After thinking for a while, I slowly took my sister’s hand. She smiled and dragged me towards the huge line for the roller coaster. My hands were shaking. My sister assured me again that it was going to be OK. Even my father encouraged me to go on with them. Seeing the majestic heights of the roller coaster and other rides gave me goose bumps. I started to freak out and become pessimistic about the situation. “What if those buckles unlock and I shoot out?” I thought to myself. I shook for 30 minutes as the line got shorter. As I got closer, I could see the tremendous speed and height of the roller coaster. “Why did I say yes?” I freaked out even harder. I turned around to look for my dad, so I could back out. But he was already out of sight. So I clung to my sister and took a deep breath. When our turn came and a guy in a red polo shirt measured my height to see if I was tall enough, I knelt down slightly. “Alright buddy you’re good,” he announced. “I think the front seat will be the best so we can see everything,” my oldest sister suggested. “Hey, don’t you think the front will be the scariest with all those hard turns?” I said. They didn’t listen to me; the three of us piled into the front. The guys in red polo shirts locked us in with seatbelts that had yellow buckles. I double-checked to make sure they were locked. “Hey, it’s going to be fine, trust me,” one sister said. Paragraph 1: Soon,there was a loud blaring noise to signal that the roller coaster was starting. . Paragraph2: The roller coaster was at its peak getting ready to drop. 北仑中学高二英语试题卷 第1页 共8页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
