B (2023-2024学年成都市高二下学期期末) Live with roommates? Have friends and family around you? Chances are that if you’re looking to live a more sustainable lifestyle, not everyone around you will be ready to jump on that bandwagon. I experienced this when I started switching to a zero waste lifestyle five years ago, as I was living with my parents, and I continue to experience this with my husband, as he is not completely zero waste like me. I’ve learned a few things along the way though, which I hope you’ll find encouraging if you’re doing your best to figure out how you can make the change in a not-always-supportive household. Zero waste was a lifestyle movement a few years back. I remember showing my parents a video of Bea Johnson, sharing how cool I thought it would be to buy groceries with jars, and have so little trash! A few days later, I came back with my first jars of zero waste groceries, and my dad commented on how silly it was for me to carry jars everywhere. It came off as a bit discouraging. Yet as the months of reducing waste continued, I did what I could that was within my own reach. I had my own bedroom, so I worked on removing things I didn’t need. I also offered to cook every so often, so I portioned out a bit of the cupboard for my own zero was te groceries. Perhaps your household won’t entirely make the switch, but you may have some control over your own personal spaces to make the changes you desire. As you make your lifestyle changes, you may find yourself wanting to speak up for yourself if others comment on what you’re doing, which can turn itself into a whole household debate. If you have individuals who are not on board, your words probably won’t do much and can often leave you feeling more discouraged. So here is my advice: Lead by action. 4. What does the underlined phrase “jump on that bandwagon” in the first paragraph mean? A. Join you in what you’re doing. B. Share an apartment with you. C. Help you to make the decision. D. Transform your way of living. 5. Why did the author show her parents a video of Bea Johnson? A. She wanted to change her parents. B. She disagreed with her parents. C. She was favorable to buy groceries with jars. D. She tried to explain what zero waste was. 6. What can we infer about the author? A. She enjoys cooking very much. B. She tries her best to achieve her goals. C. She wants to be a responsible housewife. D. She only cares about her own business. 7. What is the text mainly about? A. How to have your own personal space at home. B. How to live in harmony with other family members. C. How to live a zero waste lifestyle in your household. D. How to persuade others through your own actions. C (内江市2023-2024学年高二下学期期末) In recent years, vertical (垂直的) farming has appeared as a solution to the growing demand for food in urban areas. This innovative farming approach involves planting crops within a controlled environment. By making use of high buildings, vertical farms can produce crops year-round, independent of weather conditions, while using considerably less water and land than traditional farming. One of the key advantages of vertical farming is its ability to fully use space. In cities like Singapore, which is short of arable (可耕的) land, vertical farms have successfully grow n leafy greens and herbs in high-rise buildings. These farms use hydroponic systems that deliver water and nutrients directly to the roots of plants, reducing the need for soil and large pieces of land. Moreover, vertical farming significantly reduces the carbon emission in the process of transporting food from country sides to urban areas. By growing food directly in cities, these farms cut down on the emissions from transportation, offering fresher produce to consumers in cities. This local approach to farming also helps in creating job opportunities. However, the technology behind vertical farming is not without its hurdles. The initial investment for setting up a vertical farm can be high, particularly due to the costs of specialized lighting and climate control systems. Additionally, while vertical farms can grow vegetables and fruits, they are currently not well-suited for crops like wheat or rice, which require large fields. Despite these hurdles, the benefits of vertical farming, such as higher production and reduced environmental impact, make it a model for the future of agriculture, especially in cities with large population. 8. What can be learnt about Singapore in paragraph 2? A. It uses its arable land creatively. B. It benefits from vertical farming greatly. C. It lacks a key agricultural resource. D. It creates the concept of vertical farming. 9. How does vertical farming help to reduce carbon emission? A. It helps to control urban expansion. B. It uses environmentally-friendly energy. C. It adopts advanced ways to plant crops. D. It shortens the distance to transport food. 10. What does the author highlight about vertical farming in paragraph 4? A. Its investment. B. Its challenges. C. Its development. D. Its future. 11. How does the author probably like vertical farming? A. Unnecessary. B. Promising. C. Impossible. D. Mature. 语法填空 (南充市2023-2024学年高二下学期期末） 阅读下面短文, 在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 Shu embroidery(刺绣), also known as Sichuan embroidery, is a traditional style of Chinese embroidery that originated in Sichuan province of China.

A man continued to demand money, or he would drug her daughter and leave her in Mexico. But while she kept him on the phone, friends managed to reach her daughter, only to discover that she was free and well on a skiing trip in Arizona. The voice used on the phone was a fake (冒充品). In fact, voice cloning has far-reaching influences. A brief sample of a particular individual voice can be used to train an AI model, which can then speak any given text sounding like that person. The feature is to be included in iPhone’s new operating system IOS 17 to help people who may be in danger of losing their voices. ElevenLabs, an AI startup, offers users the chance to create their own clones in minutes. When generating a recording, the system also offers a controller that allows users to choose between variability, a lifelike intonation (语调), and stability, similar to a calm newsreader, both accurate. With cloning coming, voices claiming to be someone may prove to be fakes. That disturbs financial industry (金融业), which uses voice as an important identification. In journalism, fewer people will trust news based on recordings. The opposite problem will arise when public figures refuse to admit their genuine recordings. Now, ever more people caught up in illegal behaviors will be attracted by the defence, “It wasn’t me.” Creative industries could face challenges too. Voice actors’ skills, trained over a lifetime, can be taken away in a matter of seconds. The Telegraph recently reported on actors who had mistakenly given up rights to their voices, making it possible to clone them for nothing. But as the old saying goes, a coin has two sides. Val Kilmer, who has lost much of his voice to throat cancer, was delighted to have his voice restored for Top Gun: Maverick. And some others may be spared heading to the studio for retakes. 32. Why does the author talk about Destefano’s experience? A. To explain why Destefano was cheated. B. To praise a mother’s love for her daughter. C. To teach people how to recognize fake voices. D. To draw readers’ attention to voice cloning. 33. What can be learned from Paragraph 2? A. Cloning voices can be variously styled. B. IOS trains people disabled in speaking. C. Cloning one’s voice is time-consuming. D. AI learns human voice from texts. 34. What impact may voice cloning make? A. Financial industry will abandon voice identification. B. Broadcasting will disappear in journalism. C. Criminals use it as an excuse to escape punishment. D. Public figures dare not make recordings. 35. What is voice cloning’s influence in creative industries? A. Disastrous. B. Double edged. C. Beneficial. D. Short-termed. 七选五阅读 (成都市2023-2024学年高二下学期期末)Travelling to a foreign country can make you frightened if you don’t know the local language.

Additionally, while vertical farms can grow vegetables and fruits, they are currently not well-suited for crops like wheat or rice, which require large fields.(然而，垂直农业背后的技术并非没有障碍。建立垂直农场的初始投资可能很高，特别是由于专业照明和气候控制系统的成本。此外，虽然垂直农场可以种植蔬菜和水果，但它们目前不太适合种植小麦或水稻等作物，因为这些作物需要大片土地)”可知，作者在第4段强调了垂直农业所面临的挑战。故选B。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Despite these hurdles, the benefits of vertical farming, such as higher production and reduced environmental impact, make it a model for the future of agriculture, especially in cities with large population.(尽管存在这些障碍，但垂直农业的好处，如更高的产量和减少对环境的影响，使其成为未来农业的典范，特别是在人口众多的城市)”可知，作者认为垂直农业是有前途的。故选B。 语法填空 (南充市2023-2024学年高二下学期期末） 阅读下面短文, 在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 Shu embroidery(刺绣), also known as Sichuan embroidery, is a traditional style of Chinese embroidery that originated in Sichuan province of China.

A man continued to demand money, or he would drug her daughter and leave her in Mexico. But while she kept him on the phone, friends managed to reach her daughter, only to discover that she was free and well on a skiing trip in Arizona. The voice used on the phone was a fake (冒充品). In fact, voice cloning has far-reaching influences. A brief sample of a particular individual voice can be used to train an AI model, which can then speak any given text sounding like that person. The feature is to be included in iPhone’s new operating system IOS 17 to help people who may be in danger of losing their voices. ElevenLabs, an AI startup, offers users the chance to create their own clones in minutes. When generating a recording, the system also offers a controller that allows users to choose between variability, a lifelike intonation (语调), and stability, similar to a calm newsreader, both accurate. With cloning coming, voices claiming to be someone may prove to be fakes. That disturbs financial industry (金融业), which uses voice as an important identification. In journalism, fewer people will trust news based on recordings. The opposite problem will arise when public figures refuse to admit their genuine recordings. Now, ever more people caught up in illegal behaviors will be attracted by the defence, “It wasn’t me.” Creative industries could face challenges too. Voice actors’ skills, trained over a lifetime, can be taken away in a matter of seconds. The Telegraph recently reported on actors who had mistakenly given up rights to their voices, making it possible to clone them for nothing. But as the old saying goes, a coin has two sides. Val Kilmer, who has lost much of his voice to throat cancer, was delighted to have his voice restored for Top Gun: Maverick. And some others may be spared heading to the studio for retakes. 32. Why does the author talk about Destefano’s experience? A. To explain why Destefano was cheated. B. To praise a mother’s love for her daughter. C. To teach people how to recognize fake voices. D. To draw readers’ attention to voice cloning. 33. What can be learned from Paragraph 2? A. Cloning voices can be variously styled. B. IOS trains people disabled in speaking. C. Cloning one’s voice is time-consuming. D. AI learns human voice from texts. 34. What impact may voice cloning make? A. Financial industry will abandon voice identification. B. Broadcasting will disappear in journalism. C. Criminals use it as an excuse to escape punishment. D. Public figures dare not make recordings. 35. What is voice cloning’s influence in creative industries? A. Disastrous. B. Double edged. C. Beneficial. D. Short-termed. 【答案】32. D 33. A 34. C 35. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了语音克隆技术的现实应用和潜在风险。语音克隆技术可以通过简短的语音样本来训练人工智能模型，使其能够模仿特定人的声音。然而，语音克隆也带来了身份验证问题，特别是在金融行业和新闻业，以及对配音演员等创意产业从业者的影响。尽管存在风险，语音克隆技术也为某些情况下的声音恢复提供了可能。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Jennifer Destefano answered a call from a number she did not recognize. “Mom, these bad men have me,” her daughter’s voice told her, crying. A man continued to demand money, or he would drug her daughter and leave her in Mexico. But while she kept him on the phone, friends managed to reach her daughter, only to discover that she was free and well on a skiing trip in Arizona. The voice used on the phone was a fake (冒充品). (Jennifer Destefano接了一个她不认识的号码打来的电话。“妈妈，这些坏人抓住了我，”女儿的声音哭着告诉她。一个男人继续向她要钱，否则他就给她的女儿下药，把她留在墨西哥。但是，当她让他打电话时，朋友们设法联系上了她的女儿，却发现她在亚利桑那州滑雪旅行中很自由。电话里的声音是假的。)”可知，作者叙述了Destefano被冒充女儿声音的电话所骗的经过，然后指出声音是假的，文章后文围绕语音克隆技术展开。由此推知，作者谈到Destefano的经历是为了引起读者对语音克隆的注意。故选D项。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“When generating a recording, the system also offers a controller that allows users to choose between variability, a lifelike intonation (语调), and stability, similar to a calm newsreader, both accurate. (当生成录音时，系统还提供了一个控制器，允许用户在可变性(逼真的语调)和稳定性(类似于平静的新闻播音员)之间进行选择，两者都很准确。)”可知，生成的录音可以由用户自己选择可变性和稳定性，由此可知，克隆语音可以有多种风格。故选A项。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Now, ever more people caught up in illegal behaviors will be attracted by the defence, “It wasn’t me.” (现在，越来越多被卷入非法行为的人会被“不是我”的辩护吸引。)”可知，克隆语音可能导致罪犯用它作为逃避惩罚的借口。故选C项。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Creative industries could face challenges too. Voice actors’ skills, trained over a lifetime, can be taken away in a matter of seconds. (创意产业也可能面临挑战。配音演员的技能，经过了一辈子的训练，可以在几秒钟内消失。)”和“But as the old saying goes, a coin has two sides. Val Kilmer, who has lost much of his voice to throat cancer, was delighted to have his voice restored for Top Gun: Maverick. And some others may be spared heading to the studio for retakes. (但正如那句老话所说，硬币有两面。Val Kilmer因喉癌失去了大部分声音，他很高兴能在《壮志凌云：独行侠》中恢复声音。还有一些人可能就不用去摄影棚重拍了。)”可知，语音克隆可能会夺走配音演员来之不易的技能，但也能帮助一些不幸失去声音的人恢复声音，避免摄影棚的重拍工作。由此可知，语音克隆对创意产业的影响是一把双刃剑。故选B项。 七选五阅读 (成都市2023-2024学年高二下学期期末)Travelling to a foreign country can make you frightened if you don’t know the local language.

They remained by his side through two cold nights, fought coyotes (土狼), and waited for help. Their story has won the respect of the world. A charity donation campaign was launched by the victim and the local shelter Taber Lost Paws Society to help the injured dogs. The story began with an attack. When a passerby named Curtis Dahl was walking his dog in a field of muddy grass near the sugar factory in the town of Taber, an area that is quite remote, not well-traveled, and quite cold in March. Suddenly, Hero came running up and bit his dog around the neck. Dahl claimed he fought with Hero for ten minutes, trying to get him off his dog, and his finger was hurt by the end of it. Calling police and animal services with a complaint, he told them about Hero’s presence, but when the officers arrived and saw Hero lying down there, badly hurt and tired out, they suddenly heard a cry for help. Arriving, they found a man lying on his back in a ditch (沟渠), trembling and unable to move. He told police he is 61 and lives alone and that he was walking his two dogs Hero and Tora when he fell down. He’d been stuck there for two days and his dogs protected him. The man said that when he fell down, Tora and Hero stayed with him to keep him safe and warm for some time, and then Tora ran off. “I know she went home to find some help for me, but every time she came back, very sad,” said the man. Tora went back and forth from the site where her owner was and her home several times. By the time Dahl walked by and rescuers arrived, Tora had just gone back again. 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。 The man recalled how Hero and Tora protected him from coyotes. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Knowing what happened, Dahl held no ill feelings toward Hero. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文 The man recalled how Hero and Tora protected him from coyotes. When they stayed by his side to keep him warm, two hungry coyotes emerged. The coyotes eyed them hungrily and slowly walked closer. The dogs sensed the danger immediately. Facing the frightening coyotes that bared their sharp teeth, Hero and Tora didn’t back down. They barked loudly and engaged in a fierce battle, never letting them get close to him. After a tense and intense struggle, the dogs, though badly injured, finally managed to drive the coyotes away, protecting him from being harmed. Meanwhile, what made him moved was what Dahl did. Knowing what happened, Dahl held no ill feelings toward Hero. Although Hero bit his dog’s neck and injured his finger, he now understood why Hero did so. Hero thought they would harm its owner. Therefore, Dahl chose to forgive Hero. Not only that, as the victim, he also launched a donation campaign with the local animal shelter to take good care of these three injured dogs. In less than 48 hours, they received a donation of $3,000. Dahl said that dogs are loyal friends of humans, and at all times, we humans should protect them and live in harmony with them. 【解析】 【导语】本文以一条叫做Hero的狗为线索，讲述了Hero和Tora这两条狗是如何陪伴主人，并全力为主人赶走了土狼的袭击的故事。尽管在这个过程中，Hero伤害了Dahl和他的狗，但在Dahl知道了这件事后，他原谅了Hero，并且他还发起了募捐活动，帮助那些受伤的小狗。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“这个男的回忆起Hero和Tora是如何保护他免受土狼的袭击。”可知，本段可以写这个男的讲述Hero和Tora保护他免受土狼袭击的整个过程。 ②由第二段首句内容“在了解到整件事情后，Dahl对Hero没有了恶意。”可知，本段可以写即使Hero伤害了Dahl和他的狗，但Dahl还是选择原谅它。并且他还发起了募捐活动，帮助那些受伤的小狗。 2.续写线索：回忆Hero和Tora保护他的过程→Dahl原谅了Hero→Dahl发起了募捐活动→Dahl感叹狗是人类最忠实的朋友。 3.词汇激活： 行为类： 出现：emerge/appear/show up/turn up 加入：engage in/be involved in/participate in 退缩：back down /flinch/cower 情绪类： 感动的：moved/touched 令人害怕的：frightening/scary/fearsome 【点睛】【高分句型1】 They barked loudly and engaged in a fierce battle, never letting them get close to him.(运用了现在分词作状语。) 【高分句型2】 After a tense and intense struggle, the dogs, though badly injured, finally managed to drive the coyotes away, protecting him from being harmed.(运用了状语从句的省略和现在分词作状语。) / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
