Just like a chicken with its head cut off, she searched every inch of the park, for three hours. Still no luck! Finally, she collapsed and sat down on the runway, with tears streaming down."Those are my lucky shoes. Without them, how could I win the race tomorrow?" sobbed Jobie. Finally, she had to go home barefoot. Her mother saw her in such a low mood, and when she learned what had happened, she said to Jobie, “Honey, you won not because of your lucky shoes, but because you are who you are. No matter what shoes you wear, you can win." Jobie looked up and wondered "Is it true? Can I win without my lucky shoes?" Thanks to Mom, she wasn't so sad. The next day, Jobie turned up in a new pair of spikes for the championships. Though in doubt, Jobie wanted to see if the lucky shoes were that important. Quickly, the whistle blew. Jobie started to run as fast as she can. The first hurdle, the second...It seemed that Jobie and the new pair of spikes matched with each other very well. Finally, a lovely woman voice announced just as before “Jobie Nymble from Riverside Middle School takes first place in the girls’ 100-meter hurdles!" The crowd went wild, again! Jobie smiled in relief. Now she knew that it is not the green track spikes that make her lucky, but she herself does. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$高二英语 第 1页，共 12页 赤峰二中 2023 级高二下学期第一次月考 英语试卷 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分 30分) 第一节 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，并标在试卷的相应位置。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.

Instead, the CEO and cofounder of Gymshark used his earnings from pizza delivery to buy a sewing machine and start his fitness clothing company at 19. Eleven years later, his efforts literally paid off. Francis, who has a reported net worth of $1.3 billion, joined Forbes’ World’s Billionaires list. He’s in rare company: People on the list are65 years old on average. Originally, Francis and co-founder Lewis Morgan launched Gymshark as a website selling fitness supplements (补剂 ). But after getting fed up with his ill-fitting clothes, Francis suggested modifying the company. He and Morgan bought a sewing machine, and his mom sent him videos to teach him how to sew. The pair brought Gymshark to a bodybuilding exhibition in 2013, but didn’t have any money to advertise. On a whim (心血来潮 ), they decided to give popular fitness figures on social media platforms free products. Francis said, “It would be so cool if they could come to be with Gymshark at this event. But I didn’t really think that much about this idea.” Some of those influences went on to wear the clothes on their channels, making Gymshark’s sales jump to $45,000 per day, up from just $450. In 2017, Francis quit the CEO role. He spent the next years supporting leadership roles within Gymshark to learn more about the ins and outs of the business, before returning as the CEO in 2021. That year, the company was valued at $1.45 billion. Still, the company’s billion-dollar valuation is a small percentage of the market value of some strong competitors. “I really think Gymshark can be the UK’s answer to those brands,” Francis said. “But it doesn’t mean that the UK is where we start and end. We also want to be a truly global brand.” 24．What makes Francis special on Forbes’World’s Billionaires list? A．His age. B．His wealth. C．His personal experience. D．His business idea. 25．What does the underlined word “modifying” in paragraph 2 mean? 高二英语 第 5页，共 12页 A．putting a stop to. B．keeping an eye on. C．making a change to. D．giving an account of. 26．Why did Francis and Morgan contact popular fitness influences? A．To follow in the competitors’ footsteps. B．To win support for their leadership roles. C．To popularize their products in a cheap way. D．To gain admission to the bodybuilding exhibit. 27．Which can be the best title for the text? A．Francis: From a Pizza Boy to a Billionaire B．Gymshark: From a Website to a Global Brand C．Gymshark: AWorld Leader in Fitness Clothing D．Francis: An Inspiration to Business Competitors C The ability to remember and recognize a musical theme does not seem to be affected by age, unlike many other forms of memory. People with severe Alzheimer’s might not recognize faces, but can still sing the songs of their childhood, says Sarah Sauvé, a music scientist at the University of Lincoln. The effect of age on the ability to recall music has been investigated, but Sauvé was interested in exploring this effect in a real-world setting such as a concert. In her study, she tested how well a group of 90 healthy adults aged 18 to 86, were able to recognize familiar and unfamiliar musical themes at a live concert and another 31 people watched a recording of the concert in a laboratory. They listened to three pieces: a well-known Mozart piece and two new ones. One new piece had clear melodies (旋律 ), while the other was more unusual. Participants had to recognize a short melody repeated later in each piece. The melodic piece from Mozart was equally well recognized across all ages and musical backgrounds, with no loss of recognition as age increased. All participants were less confident in recognizing the theme in the new melodic piece, and even less confident with the unfamiliar and unusual piece, but this didn’t change with age either. The study also found no differences between concert-goers and lab participants. Steffen Herff, a cognitive (认知) neuroscientist at the University of Sydney, Australia, says the reason music memory stay strong might have to do with the emotions that music stirs in people, 高二英语 第 6页，共 12页 which helps it stick in our memory. “We know from general memory research that, effectively, the amygdala — or emotional processing — operates a little bit like an importance stamp,” he says. The study collected limited data on some participants’ cognitive health, and so did not provide detailed insights into how neurodegenerative (神经退行性的 ) diseases affect memory recall. But Herff says there is great interest in using music as a form of ‘cognitive scaffolding’ — that is, as a memory aid for other information — in individuals with neurodegenerative conditions. 28. What does Sauvé’s study focus on? A. The role music plays in recognition tasks. B. The difference between live and recorded concerts. C. The ability to recognize unfamiliar musical themes. D The impacts of aging on music recognition in real-life situations. 29. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The design of the study. B. The reflection of the study. C. The results of Sauvé’s study. D. The background of the study. 30. What role does the amygdala play in memory, according to Steffen Herff? A. It helps with reasoning. B. It processes musical notes. C. It identifies emotions in people. D. It acts as a marker of importance. 31. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. Music is of no use as a memory aid. B. More data is needed for further study. C. Music is useful for treating most diseases. D. The data on cognitive health is not objective. D The synthetic (合成的) chemical Bisphenol A, or BPA, was found in a variety of widely used products, such as plastic water bottles and eyewear. According to a new study, the chemical has been linked to child obesity. But it is also a chemical known to disrupt the body’s hormones. The chemical, which can make its way into other avenues, such as food and the soil, accumulates in the body’s tissues and organs when taken in. It is known to affect weight and can affect certain cells. The new study found that this chemical could be playing a role in causing different bacteria groups in children of normal weight than those who were overweight. “We found that the gut (肠道) microbial community responds differently to BPA exposure depending on the BMI (body-mass index) of the 高二英语 第 7页，共 12页 individual,” microbiologist Margarita Aguilera of the University of Granada in Spain, who worked on the study, said in a summary. “Those connections emphasize the various factors to interplay between gut microbiota and potential human pathophysiology (病理生理学) resulting from growing BPA exposure.” Previous studies have already suggested that BPA exposure could negatively affect human health including the gut microbiome. However, studies have not looked at the connections between those who are overweight and those who are not. To reach their findings, the Spanish researchers studied a group of over 100 children, half boys and half girls, to identify the microbes that play a role in BPA. They found overall that there were more unique bacteria groups in the children of a normal weight. This strongly suggests that the bacteria in those children may be able to fight off harmful chemicals like BPA. “We want to raise awareness about the health risks associated with microplastics that enter our bodies, and those that circulate in the environment,” Aguilera said in a statement. “It’s crucial for individuals to be mindful of these concerns.” “This study, and future studies into the effects of BPA, could point to future interventions and policy changes that may reduce the risk of childhood obesity worldwide,” Aguilera said. 32. What does the underlined word “disrupt” in the first paragraph mean? A. Control. B. Generate. C. Regulate. D. Disturb. 33. How does BPA influence children’s health? A. It accumulates in body tissues. B. It affects gut bacteria groups. C It monitors the weight growth. D. It exists in various products. 34. What did the Spanish researchers’ study focus on? A. The unique production process of BPA. B. Connections between BPA levels and genders. C. Responses of microbes to BPA based on BMI. D. The impact of harmful chemicals on children. 35. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text? A. Child Obesity Prevention: BPA-free Solutions B. Health Risks of BPA: What You Need to Know C. BPA Exposure in Daily Life: Wide Uses and Effects D. Children’s Health Under Threat: BPA Plays a Part 高二英语 第 8页，共 12页 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。 The Magic of Board Games In a world dominated by digital entertainment, board games might seem like a relic of the past. ____36____ They offer a unique opportunity that combines face-to-face interaction, mental stimulation, and the joy of shared experiences, standing in contrast to many digital pastimes. ____37____ When we gather around a table with family on a rainy day, the excitement of rolling the dice, and the friendly competition stay in our hearts.

She 41 , fist first, holding a bright blue slipper. It is passed to a kayaker, who waves it overhead, like a prize, before putting it in a basket for safekeeping. Over the next hour, the team of 15 — all over age 65, all women—hunts for 42 across Mares Pond, Cape Cod. These are the Old Ladies Against Underwater Garbage (OLAUG).Since 2017, the group has made it its mission to 43 trash from ponds across Cape Cod. Part conservation 44 , part social club, the group’s 45 is owed to a moment of spontaneity(自发性)by Susan Baur, a(n) 46 psychologist. In 2017, she rounded up two friends and approached a stranger with a kayak, and together they cleared “half basket” of litter from a pond. Soon others 47 the campaign, and, like Baur, they found a sense of wonder in the pond 48 . While many outsiders have expressed their 49 to OLAUG for cleaning up the ponds, a number have 50 why they refer to themselves as “old ladies.” “You should call yourselves the Lovely Ladies Against Underwater Garbage!” Baur, smiling, recalls being told. Although she admits that it wasn’t initially a conscious choice, she now believes that the “old lady” 51 is a crucial part of what the group is about. “Over 65, if you’ re 52 enough to do what we’ re doing, it is the age of gratitude,” Baur says. “You are so grateful that you can still do this after retirement. You’ re just grateful anyway, grateful for the trees and grateful for clean water.” Besides, part of the 53 of OLAUG is to demonstrate that older women, working as a team, still can do a lot for the world. The most common 54 to OLAUG is “I want to join you.” And after that first dive, the new recruits always can’t contain their excitement and their smile is 55 . “They have just swum farther than they’ve ever swum. They’ve lifted more than they’ve ever lifted. They’ve seen stuff that they’ve never seen.

Jobie smiled with excitement all week long. At track practice, she leaped over those hurdles faster than she’d ever leaped before.

Without thinking twice, Jobie took off her spikes and dashed toward the slide. Its ladder stretched to the sky, but she reached the top in no time, closed her eyes and let go. Jobie couldn’t get enough. She tried again and again. When it was finally time to go home, she unwillingly made her way back to the track where she’d left her shoes. 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。 As she eyed the area from a distance, panic set in.__________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ The next day, Jobie turned up in the new pair of spikes for the championships.___________________ __________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________
