The airport was constructed in the 1950s. It has an indoor garden, a children's playground，and over 70 food businesses in Terminal 3 alone. The Shanghai World Financial Center Completed in 2008, the SWFC took over 10 years to complete due to financial shortages and the construction delays. Since its completion, it has won countless architectural awards. Tourists are welcome at the SWFC's viewing platform, which is the world's highest closed viewing platform. The Water Cube It was constructed for use during the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics. Now visitors can express surprise at the architecture of the building. They can enjoy the indoor atmosphere as well. Among the offerings of the Water Cube are a restaurant, a bar, a shopping area, and the Water World, a water theme park. The Bird’s Nest It was designed mainly for the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics. It can hold up to 91,000 people. Nowadays, it also functions as a tourist attraction. Its main income is from tourism. It draws more than 20,000 tourists every day. The National Centre for the Performing Arts It was completed in 2007. The grand building is surrounded by a man-made lake, requiring guests to enter via an underground hallway. It is home to an opera hall, a music hall, and a theatre. 21. Which of the following buildings was first constructed? A. The Beijing Capital International Airport. B. The Shanghai World Financial Center. C. The Water Cube. D. The Bird's Nest. 22. Why was the construction of the Shanghai World Financial Center delayed? A. It needed more construction workers. B.

Watch different performances. B. Eat various foods. C. Attend science lectures. D. Enjoy sports events. B The Wandering Earth II, a science-fiction movie, has aroused hot debate among galaxy scientists and science-fiction writers, both in China and overseas. Among them, John Gribbin, a UK science writer, speaks highly of rising science education in China and says that's what makes science fiction prosper. “It is very important in this technological age for people to understand the fundamentals of science, and then popular science writing can inform them of the world around them, " he says. “This is a bit like music. Even if you are not a great musician, if you know a little bit, you gain a deeper appreciation of great music.” Zhou Binghong, a researcher at the China Academy of Space Technology, holds a similar view. “The more scientific knowledge one gains, the more questions he or she will have about how the world runs. This leaves them wanting to know more, especially youngsters." Both episodes of The Wandering Earth include quite a few imaginary technologies that need basic scientific knowledge to understand. In the latest one, for example, what arouses most fierce discussions among the public is a “space elevator” that enables astronauts to complete their trips to space by taking an elevator instead of a rocket. On various platforms, there are discussions about whether such an elevator is possible. If it were possible, what materials would be used? For Zhou, such discussions themselves mean the public has a taste for science. He says, "Interest marks the first step toward creativity. Who knows who will emerge as an engineer for such an elevator in 50 years’ time?” Impressed by the progress of science-related industries in China, Gribbin says that “it is going from strength to strength” and that “China is one of the leading countries for scientific research and technological development, and the Chinese people are naturally interested in the developments." 24. What leads to the popularity of science fiction according to Paragraph 1? A. The charm of science. B. The attraction of literature. C. The development of science education. D. The popularity of the film. 25. Why does the author mention the music in Paragraph 2? A. To indicate the importance of learning scientific knowledge. B. To tell readers why music appreciation is important. C. To show the relationship between music and science. D. To stress music is necessary in science. 26. Which is the function of the “space elevator” in The Wandering Earth II? A. It helps control the rocket. B. It enables astronauts to walk in space. C. It sends astronauts into space. D. It maintains astronauts’ safety in space. 27. Which of the following can be the best title for this text? A. Fiction Gaining in Popularity B. Putting Science into Fiction C. Science Planting Seeds of Hope D. A Leading Country for Scientific Research C Herbert George Wells was born in England in 1866. He did not come from a rich family. His parents had a small shop but it was not successful and closed when he was thirteen. He worked at different times in a clothes shop and a chemist's. He always read a lot and later managed to get a place at a science college. After he left there he became a teacher, but he was badly hurt while playing football and this meant that he could not continue. He then laboured in London, writing for newspapers and doing some teaching of small groups. None of these made much money. The Time Machine was his first fictional work. It appeared in weekly parts in a magazine in 1894 and as a book the following year. At the time, Wells was married to his second wife and was trying to support both her and her mother. He needed to make money, so he wrote it quite quickly. Although he was never really happy with the finished book, it turned out to be a great success and allowed him to continue as a writer. It is not easy for us to understand how different this book was from others of the time. It is the first real science fiction book. It introduces the readers to the idea of time as the fourth dimension(维度), ten years before Einstein made it part of scientific thinking. Wells also described a simple mechanical answer to the problem of time travel---a time machine. Nobody had ever described time travel in a machine before, and the words “time machine” entered the English language. After the great success of this book, Wells wrote more science fiction. His most famous books are The Island of Dr. Moreau (1896), The Invisible Man (1897), The War of the Worlds (1898) and The First Men in the Moon (1901). All of them have been filmed, some more than once. H. G. Wells died in London in 1946. 28. Why did Wells begin to write for newspapers in London? A. He wanted to make more money. B. He was never happy with his former jobs. C. His second wife asked him to do so. D. He was seriously injured in sport. 29. How different was The Time Machine from other books of the time? A. It first described the idea of dimensions. B. Readers felt it easier to read and understand. C. It introduced the idea of four-dimensional space. D. It was the first fictional book in the world. 30. Which of the following statements is true about The Time Machine? A. Its success helped to support Wells’ family. B. It first appeared as a book. C. Wells was very satisfied with it. D. It was Wells’ most famous work. 31. What is the writing purpose of the passage? A. To illustrate the great and famous works of Wells. B. To describe the plot of The Time Machine. C. To convince readers that Wells is a good writer. D. To introduce Wells’ life experiences and his works. D Ants live in complex colonies(群落), sometimes referred to as nests, which are home to a wide range of social interactions. Ants need to defend their colony, seek food and take care of little ones. Successfully performing all these complex tasks requires reliable communication among nestmates. A new study conducted by researchers from Vanderbilt University shows how their societies depend on the exchange of reliable information. Human communication relies primarily on verbal and visual clues. We usually identify our friends by the sound of their voice, the appearance of their face or the clothes they wear. Ants, however, rely primarily on their sharp sense of smell. For ants and social insects like them, receiving chemical information begins when a smell enters the small hairs located along their antennae (触角). These hairs contain special receptors, called chemosensory neurons(感化性神经元),which sort and send the chemical information to the ant’s brain. Smells act like chemical “keys". Ants can smell these “keys” only if they're placed into the correct set of chemosensory neuron “locks". A neuronal lock remains shut to any smells except its particular key. The ant's brain can obtain this sensory information to make decisions that ultimately lead to cooperation between nestmates or battles between non-nestmates. Then the researchers used precisely targeted drugs and genetic (遗传的) engineering to mess with their sense of smell. They were interested in what would happen when an ant's sense of smell went wrong. When the researchers messed with ants’ sense of smell---whether when shutting down or flooding their smell receptors--they found the ants no longer attacked non-nestmates. In the absence of clear information, they exercised self-control and chose to accept rather than attack these ants. When ants eventually lost their sense of smell, and their ability to detect accurate information became weak, they no longer stuck together in a united colony. And this would spell doom for their colony. Ant societies collapse and the colony quickly dies. 32. What may be a guarantee of the nestmates’ bond? A. A special structure of the ant society. B. The effective job arrangement. C. A smell recognition system. D. The necessary verbal and visual clues. 33. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. How ants differ from other social insects. B. How ants fight battles against their enemies. C. How ants’ brains react to chemical information. D. How smells help ants recognize information. 34. Why did the researchers mess with the ants’ sense of smell? A. To test if the operation would affect the ants' brains. B. To see if ants have other means of communication. C. To find the factors that affect ants' ability to detect information. D. To know the effects of poor sense of smell on ants and their colony. 35. What does the underlined phrase “spell doom for” in the last paragraph mean? A. Provide evidence for. B. Promote the expansion of. C. Mean disaster for. D. Bring a turning point in. 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。 Within your family, are you the “boss”, the “peacemaker”, the “baby” or the “king”? 36 Firstborn — The “Boss” First-time parents often have very high expectations for their eldest children. 37 Firstborns tend to be natural leaders who respect and trust authority. Many astronauts and engineers are firstborn children. Middle child — The “Peacemaker” Typically, parents don’t give middle children as much attention as the firstborn or the youngest. 38 As a result, they are usually determined to achieve success in their own way. They don’t like conflict and will try to avoid it. They are often realistic, independent, patient peacemakers and good communicators. Youngest child — The “Baby” By the time the youngest family member is born, most parents have loosened their rules. 39 They often enjoy amusing others and being the center of attention. They are typically fun-loving, creative people who aren’t afraid to question authority or take risks. Only child — The “King of the Castle” Life in the family of an only child often revolves around him or her. 40 An only child enjoys learning from adults and is usually very clever for his or her age. Only children are creative and intelligent and can easily communicate with adults. They are typically confident, independent and very successful. What about you? Does the birth order description match your personality? A．Thus, they tend to have more freedom. B．That often causes them to feel they are ignored. C．Early-born children experience a better social environment. D．These kids don’t have to share their toys or their parents’ time. E．Many researchers believe your position in the family influences your personality. F．As a result, these kids are often responsible, organized, bossy, successful achievers.

All the efforts you put into studying at university may not be enough — because robots could be coining for your job. A new study finds that as 56 as 800 million workers could be replaced by robots by 2030. It 57   (estimate) that “between 400 million and 800 million individuals could be replaced by automation (自动化) or robots and need 58   (find) new jobs by 2030 around the world”, and that 30 percent of the hours people spend 59   (work) globally could be automated by that time. Those most 60   (affect) will be people who work in “predictable environments” doing tasks such as operating machines and preparing fast food. Those who make a living by collecting and processing data also face a high risk of 61   (replace). But people who work in less “predictable environments” such as gardeners, plumbers, and childcare staff face a 62   (small) risk, because their roles “are technically difficult to be automated and often command 63 (relative) lower wages, which makes automation a less attractive business proposition”. However, it’s not all doom (厄运) for the future of employment. The study notes that automation sometimes allows workers to remain 64   (employ) in a different position. Even when some tasks are automated, the employment rate in those 65   (occupy) may not decline because workers may perform new tasks. 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节 书面表达（满分15分） 66. 你校正在组织英语作文大赛。请你以The most unforgettable iconic attraction in my heart为题，就你身边的某个景点，写一篇短文参赛，内容包括: 1. 你心中最难忘的景点; 2. 难忘的原因。 注意： 1. 词数 80 左右； 2. 可适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 The most unforgettable iconic attraction in my heart ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第二节 读后续写（满分25分） 67.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。 As a new teacher, I faced a lot of challenges, but one student, a10-year-old girl named Mia, caught my attention. With her head down, chin(下巴) against her chest, and fists (拳头) balled up, she was ready to take on(较量、对抗) any and all comers. She was nicknamed the “little tornado”. The first day she was in my class, we talked about how she felt about school. Mia had had very negative experiences in school, which colored her outlook on almost everything else in her life. When I inquired about her interests, I made progress. Sometimes our conversation went well. Sometimes it drove me mad. But I refused to give up on her---or myself. While living on my own, I would eat at K&W Cafeteria at least twice a week. There I made a conversation with Ms White, who served the side dishes and called me “Sugar”. She asked about my day as she dished out my mashed potatoes. One frustrating day, I told her about Mia---the Mia who did not value school, who disrupted(扰乱) my classroom, and who hated everything and everybody. Ms White, a wise woman, advised me to bring Mia in to see her during the dinner rush. The next evening when we arrived at K&W, Ms White looked at Mia and said, "Help you?” Mia ordered the meal. Ms White said, “I heard about you. I heard a lot about you. Do you want to be me one day?" Mia was shocked. "Uh, no." “Then you need to start doing what you're supposed to do in school because people like me never had that chance. So don't waste it.” Then she served up Mia's favorite green beans and mashed potatoes, and I gave Ms White a secret wink (眨眼). It was the first time that I had ever seen Mia speechless. The experience at K&W Cafeteria marked a turning point in her life. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式作答。 As weeks passed, Mia's progress became evident in the classroom. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After fourteen years of being a teacher; I encountered a familiar face at a teacher training session. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ 2023-2024学年第二学期第三次考试 高二英语参考答案 一.选择题 （1-20听力每题1.5分） 1-5 AABCB 6-10 CBCBA 11-15 CBBAC 16-20 AACCA （21-40阅读每题2.5分） 21-23 ACA 24-27 CACB 28-31 DCAD 32-35 CDDC 36-40 EFBAD （41-55完形填空每题1分） 41-45 BABDB 46-50 ACDCA 51-55 CDDAD 二.语法填空题 （56-65语法填空每题1.5分） 56．many 57．is estimated 58．to find 59．working 60．affected 61．being replaced 62．smaller 63．relatively 64．employed 65．occupations 三.书面表达（15分）： One possible version: The most unforgettable iconic attraction in my heart Among the countless popular iconic attractions that I've visited, the most unforgettable one in my heart is the Great Wall. When I stepped on the Great Wall for the first time at the age of ten, I was stunned by the grandness of it. It was hard to believe that it had been built by the hands of working people two thousand years ago. Looking at the way it winds across north China like a dragon, I couldn't help but admire the wisdom of ancient Chinese people, and I felt proud to be Chinese. The Great Wall is a valuable cultural relic that is truly worth visiting. 四.读后续写（25分）： One possible version: As weeks passed, Mia's progress became evident in the classroom. She started participating in activities, expressing her thoughts, and even helping classmates. The once “little tornado” was now a positive and motivated learner. At the end of the school year, Mia easily passed all the exams. Ms White and I were both pleased to witness her growth. That was when the big change occurred. Mia's family moved away and I lost touch with her. After fourteen years of being a teacher; I encountered a familiar face at a teacher training session. It was Mia, now a teacher herself. She thanked me for never giving up on her and told me she wanted to be a good teacher like me. I couldn't help but feel a sense of fulfillment. Mia's story was a heartwarming reminder of the lasting impact teachers can have on their students. 答案详解： 阅读A 语篇类型是说明文。文章主要介绍了五个著名的中国现代建筑。 21.A 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“The airport was constructed in the1950s.(该机场建于20世纪50年代)”;第二段中的“Completed in 2008, the SWFC...(2008年建成的上海环球金融中心……)”;第三段中的“It was constructed for use during the2008 Beijing Summer Olympics.(它是为2008年北京夏季奥运会使用而建造的)”;第四段中的“It was designed mainly for the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics.(它主要是为2008 年北京夏季奥运会而设计的)”以及最后一段中的“It was completed in2007.(它于2007年完工)”可知,北京首都国际机场是最先建造的。故选A。 22.C 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Completed in 2008, the SWFC took over 10 years to complete due to financial shortages and the construction delays.(2008年建成的上海环球金融中心,由于资金短缺和施工延误,花了十多年时间才建成)”可知,资金短缺导致上海环球金融中心的建设被推迟了。故选C。 23.A 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“It is home to an opera hall, a music hall, and a theatre.(它是一个歌剧院、一个音乐厅和一个剧院的所在地)”可知,在中国国家大剧院你能观看不同的表演。故选A。 阅读B 语篇类型是议论文。文章围绕科学教育与科幻小说的关系进行了阐释。 24.C 细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“其中,英国科学作家约翰·格里宾高度评价了中国不断发展的科学教育,并表示那是科幻小说繁荣的原因。”可知，科学教育的发展是科幻小说受欢迎的原因。故选C。 25.A 推理判断题。第二段第一句提到了解科学的基本原理非常重要。后面接着提到了这有点像音乐,阐述了懂一点音乐对于音乐欣赏的作用。由此可推知，第二段是以对音乐的欣赏为例说明学习科学知识的重要性。故选A。 26.C 细节理解题。根据第三段第二句“例如,在最近的一部中,引起公众最多的激烈讨论的是‘太空电梯’,它使航天员乘坐电梯而不是火箭完成他们的太空之旅。”可知,太空电梯的功能是送航天员去太空。故选C。 27.B 主旨大意题。文章第一段最后一句“其中,英国科学作家约翰·格里宾高度评价了中国不断发展的科学教育,并表示那是科幻小说繁荣的原因。”点出了科学教育与科幻小说繁荣之间的关系,后面几段展开具体论证了这种关系。由此可知, B项“把科学融入小说”适合作为本文最佳标题。故选B。 阅读C 语篇类型是说明文。文章主要介绍了著名作家 Herbert George Wells, 包括其生平、作品等。 28.D 细节理解题。根据第一段的“After he left there he became a teacher...writing for newspapers (离开那里后,他成了一名教师,但他在踢足球时受了重伤,这意味着他不能继续做下去了。然后他在伦敦努力工作，为报社撰稿)”可知,他之所以开始为报社撰稿是因为他在运动中受伤,所以只能放弃教师这份工作。故选D。 29.C 细节理解题。根据第三段前三句可知,我们很难理解这本书与当时的其他书有多大的不同。这是第一本真正意义上的科幻小说。它向读者介绍了时间是第四维的概念,这比爱因斯坦把它作为科学思想的一部分早了十年。所以这本书的独特之处在于它率先介绍了四维空间这个概念。故选C。 30.A 细节理解题。根据第二段内容可知,《时间机器》是他的第一部虚构作品。他需要赚钱养活妻子和妻子的母亲,所以他写得很快。虽然他对完成的书从来没有真正满意过,但结果这本书取得了巨大的成功，让他能够继续当一个作家。由此可知,《时间机器》虽然未能让 Wells 满意,却使他赚了钱,养活了家人。故选 A。 31.D 推理判断题。根据文章内容“第一段:Wells创作科幻小说前的生活经历→第二段:《时间机器》的创作背景→第三段:《时间机器》与同时期的其他作品不同的地方→第四段:Wells其他的科幻小说”可推知,文章的写作目的是介绍Wells的人生经历以及作品。故选 D。 阅读D 语篇类型是说明文,主题语境是人与自然之自然生态。文章介绍了蚂蚁通过嗅觉获取、发送可靠信息，成功地协调复杂的任务,让所有的巢友紧紧地团结在巢穴中。 32.C。推理判断题。根据第一段Successfully performing ... communication among nestmates以及第二段Ants, however, rely primarily on their sharp sense of smell可知,蚂蚁敏锐的嗅觉是巢友之间纽带的保证。 33.D。段落大意题。通读第三段可知,该段具体介绍了气味是如何帮助蚂蚁识别信息,故选D项。 34.D。推理判断题。根据倒数第二段They were interested in what would happen when an ant's sense of smell went wrong以及最后一段内容可知,研究者搞乱蚂蚁的嗅觉是为了了解嗅觉失灵对于单个的蚂蚁及其群落的影响。 35.C。词义猜测题。根据下文的Ant societies collapse and the colony quickly dies可知,如果蚂蚁的嗅觉失灵,无法准确识别信息,蚂蚁群体就会崩溃,很快就会死亡。由此可推知,画线短语意为“意味着灾难”。 七选五 语篇类型是说明文。文章主要说明了家中不同顺序出生的孩子所具有的一些特点。 36．根据上文“Within your family, are you the “boss”, the “peacemaker”, the “baby” or the “king”?(在你的家庭里，你是“老板”、“和事佬”、“宝宝”还是“国王”？)”可知，上文主要说明了人们家里的不同角色，结合后文对出生顺序对性格的影响进行了说明，故E选项“许多研究人员认为你在家庭中的地位会影响你的性格”符合语境，故选E。 37．根据上文“First-time parents often have very high expectations for their eldest children.(初为父母的人通常对他们的长子抱有很高的期望)”以及后文“Firstborns tend to be natural leaders who respect and trust authority. Many astronauts and engineers are firstborn children.(长子长女往往是天生的领导者，他们尊重和信任权威。许多宇航员和工程师都是第一个孩子)”可知，本句与上文构成因果关系，指出长子所具有的一些特点，故F选项“因此，这些孩子往往是负责任的、有条理的、专横的、成功的成功者”符合语境，故选F。 38．根据上文“Typically, parents don’t give middle children as much attention as the firstborn or the youngest.(通常情况下，父母不会像第一个或最小的孩子那样给予中间的孩子太多的关注)”可知，中间出生的孩子不会得到太多父母的关注，所以本句说明结果：让他们觉得自己被忽视了。B选项中them指的是上文middle children，故B选项“这通常会让他们觉得自己被忽视了”符合语境，故选B。 39．根据上文“By the time the youngest family member is born, most parents have loosened their rules.(当最小的家庭成员出生时，大多数父母已经放松了他们的规则)”可知，上文提到父母放松了对最小一个孩子的规则，即他们拥有更多的自由，故A选项“因此，他们往往有更多的自由”符合语境，故选A。 40．根据上文“Life in the family of an only child often revolves around him or her.(独生子女家庭的生活常常以他或她为中心)”以及后文“An only child enjoys learning from adults and is usually very clever for his or her age. Only children are creative and intelligent and can easily communicate with adults. They are typically confident, independent and very successful. What about you? Does the birth order description match your personality?(独生子女喜欢向大人学习，通常在他或她的年龄来说非常聪明。独生子女很有创造力，很聪明，很容易和大人交流。他们通常自信、独立、非常成功。你呢？出生顺序描述符合你的性格吗？)”可知，上文提到独生子女是家庭的中心，本句承接上文说明结果：这些孩子不需要分享他们的玩具或父母的时间。故D选项“这些孩子不需要分享他们的玩具或父母的时间”符合语境，故选D。 完形填空 语篇类型是夹叙夹议文。讲述了作者在一次同学聚会上与多年未见的同学冰释前嫌的故事，作者表示，有时候我们需要回到过去，而同学聚会是很好的方式，通过聚会我们能治愈旧日的伤口，发现更好的自己。 41．考查动词短语辨析。句意：曾经有一段时间，我以为即使机会出现了我也不会参加同学聚会。A. put down写下；B. came up出现；C. got through度过；D. took off起飞。结合上文“There was a time I thought I’d never go even if the opportunity”可知，此处指作者如果机会出现的话，也不会参加同学聚会，故选B项。 42．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：但现在，我为那些不去同学聚会的人感到惋惜。A. sorry难过的、遗憾的；B. relieved放心的；C. upset沮丧的；D. enthusiastic热情的。But 表转折，说明作者对同学聚会的态度转变，过去他不想参加同学聚会，现在他为那些不去同学聚会的人感到惋惜，故选A项。 43．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：能马上认出以前的同学和被认出都是一件礼物。A. latter后者的；B. former以前的，从前的；C. present现在的；D. future将来的。根据上文“I went to the reunion of my high school”可知，同学聚会见到的当然都是以前的（former）同学，故选B项。 44．考查副词词义辨析。句意：感谢地是，我们的衣服上有姓名标签和旧照片来帮助识别我们。A.

After all, in a country where happy easter and happy birthday are common, that merry part of merry Christmas is pretty unique. It's important to note that happy Christmas hasn't disappeared completely. It's still widely used in england. This is because happy takes on a higher class meaning than mary, but merry Christmas has been used since at least fifteen thirty four. The english song we wish you a merry Christmas, which was introduced in the fifteen hundreds, also uses the popular phrase as both words developed and changed meanings. Over time, people slowly stopped using mary as its own individual word. During the eighth and seventh centuries, IT stuck around in common phrases like the more the maria, as well as in things like Christmas songs and stories. Largely due to the influence of Charles dickens, the Victorian Christmas went on to define many of today's Christmas traditions. Now let's learn about some Christmas traditions through videos.
