And people celebrate over several days or even weeks. It is called the Spring Festival in China, Tet in Vietnam and Seollal in Korea. What are some traditions around the Lunar New Year? One well-known ancient story speaks of Nian, a terrible monster that eats human flesh on New Year's Day. But Nian fears the colour red, loud noises and fire. So, Lunar New Year activities include putting up red paper dragons on the doors of homes. People also burn red lanterns all night and set off firecrackers to chase away the monster. Red is considered a lucky colour to ring in a new year. People wear red clothing decorate their homes with red paper lanterns and use red envelopes to present loved ones with gifts of money. Ancestor worship is also common during this time. Many Korean families take part in a ceremony called “charye”. Female family members prepare food and male members serve it to ancestors. The final act involves the entire family sharing a meal and asking for help from their ancestors. Vietnamese culture holds a similar tradition. How do diaspora (大移居) communities celebrate? Members of Asian American communities around the US also organize parades, parties and other events around the Lunar New Year. Lion and dragon dances are common, as are fireworks, traditional food and cultural performances. What are some special foods for the New Year? Each culture has its own special foods for New Year celebration. In Chinese culture, for example, “changshou mian” or “long-life noodles” are eaten with a wish for a long, healthy and happy life. Koreans celebrate with “tteokguk”, a soup that contains thinly sliced rice cakes. And Vietnamese culture has “banh chung”, a traditional dish made from rice, mung bean and pork belly. The dish is usually covered with banana leaves, shaped into a square and tied up with strings for steaming. 1. Which is NOT a way to drive away Nian? A. Setting off firecrackers. B. Burning red lanterns. C. Putting up red dragons. D. Making red envelopes. 2. In which country do people celebrate the Lunar New Year with “banh chung”? A. Korea. B. China. C. Vietnam. D. The US. 3. Where is the text probably taken from? A. A folk story. B. A magazine. C. A promotional brochure. D. A food promotion advertisement. B “A good book is easy to find. ” That is the message on a sign at Hernando Guanlao’s home in the Makati area of Manila, the capital of the Philippines. Guanlao has turned his home into a free public library. Visitors can borrow the books inside for free. Guanlao hopes his library will inspire people to read, especially the young. The 72-year-old said that his library includes books that all students can enjoy — from young children in kindergarten to older students in grade 12. Guanlao’s library has books for readers of all interests. He spoke to reporters at his home, which is filled with thousands of available books. He calls his library Reading Club 2000. It contains many different kinds of books, or genres (体裁) . Genre is a group of artistic, musical, or literary works that share a particular style, form, or content. Some genres in literature are poetry, non-fiction (or real stories) , and fiction (or imaginary stories) . Then there are “sub-genres” such as cookbooks, science fiction, and mystery, to name just a few. He started his library more than 20 years ago when he set 50 books on the walkway in front of his home. Guanlao’s collection has grown greatly over the years — thanks to a continuous supply of books from donors. Speaking of donors, he said, “They just leave boxes of books outside my house.” He has also started donating books himself. He sends reading materials to public schools in far-away communities. Guanlao’s efforts come at a time when reading ability among students in the Philippines remains low. The Programme for International Student Assessment reports that reading scores in the Philippines are among the lowest in the world. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development runs that programme. Students in the Philippines are also facing learning delays in math and science. Guanlao is firm about his goals: “My mission (使命) is to give away used and donated books to others at no cost,” he said, “and to promote education through literature.” 4. Who are the main targeted readers of Reading Club 2000? A. The youth. B. Literary lovers. C. Middle-aged and old readers. D. Community book donors. 5. Which statement about Guanlao’s library is UNTRUE according to the text? A. The book classification is very detailed. B. The library continuously buys books for public schools. C. The collection of the library is constantly expanding. D. Rich books can satisfy various reading tastes. 6. What was the original intention behind the establishment of this private library? A. To increase social influence. B. To enrich the cultural atmosphere. C. To respond to the government's call. D. To help with the backward education situation in Philippines. 7. What is Guanlao like? A. He is a self-disciplined teacher. B. He has a strong sense of social responsibility. C. He is an industrious volunteer in the library. D. He is traditional and conservative. C Researchers have used radar (雷达) and other technologies to study a large “star” sand dune (沙丘) in eastern Morocco located in Africa. The team said it was able to get detailed data on how these dunes form and develop. A star dune is named after its shape because it can look like a star when seen from above. These structures are very large and have a hill, or peak, at the top. They have large masses, called arms, spreading out from the peak. Star dunes are shaped by wind and other conditions in the environment. Star dunes are common in deserts and can be found in Africa, the Middle East, China and North America. But scientists say, although there are a lot of star dunes, the formations have not been studied very much so far. The research results recently appeared in the publication Scientific Reports. The scientists said the star dune rises 100 metres above surrounding dunes and is 700 metres wide. The structure contains an estimated five-and-a-half metric tons of sand. The researchers used radar that can “see” underground to look at different elements within the star dune. The science instruments that were used are designed to map all layers within the dunes. They also used a method called luminescence dating to study the age of the dune. This method uses minerals in the sand to estimate when they last received sunlight in an attempt to guess the age of the dune. The researchers estimated the oldest parts of the base of the star dune are about 13, 000 years old. And the dune is moving across the desert at a rate of about 50 centimetres a year. The team noted the star dune experienced the most growth during the past 1, 000 years. Star dunes make up just 10 percent of all dunes in Earth's deserts. They have also been observed on Mars and on Saturn's moon Titan. Earth's largest star dunes are found in western China's Badain Jaran desert. Star dunes also are found in places including the Namib Sand Sea in Namibia, large sand seas in Algeria and Rub’ al Khali in Saudi Arabia. In North America, Great Sand Dunes National Park in Colorado contains a series of them. 8. What is the purpose of Paragraph 2? A. To provide readers with information about star dunes. B. To introduce the locations of sand dunes. C. To show the main structures of sand dunes. D. To tell readers people have little understanding of sand dunes. 9. Why do researchers use luminescence dating? A. To measure the scale of sand dunes. B. To develop minerals inside sand dunes. C. To determine when the sand dune began to form. D. To describe the underlying feature of sand dunes. 10. In which country can you see the biggest star dunes? A. Morocco. B. China. C. Saudi Arabia. D. The USA. 11. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. The Process of Sand Dune Formation. B. Star Dunes: Wonders in the Desert. C. The Past and Future of Sand Dunes on Earth. D. Researchers Uncover “Secrets” of African Sand Dune. D A recent study identified a genetic cause of left-handedness in some people Researchers found rare variants (变体) of a gene involved in controlling the shape of cells. They found the variants to be 2. 7 times more common in left-handed people. These genetic variants account for possibly 0. 1 percent of left-handedness. But the researchers said a gene, called TUBB4B, might play a part in the development of brain asymmetry (不对称性) . In most people, the two halves of the brain have slightly different structures and are dominant for different activities. Clyde Francks of the Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics in the Netherlands suggested that for most people, the left side of the brain controls the dominant right hand. TUBB4B controls a protein that gets formed into filaments (丝状物) called microtubules. These microtubules give structure to the insides of cells. The changes in TUBB4B that are more common in left-handers suggest that microtubules are involved in setting up the brain’s normal asymmetries. The two brain halves start to develop differently in the human embryo (胚胎) . Scientists do not know the system that controls this. The study’s findings were based on genetic data from more than 350, 000 middle-aged to older adults in Britain. It was from the UK Biobank. About 11 percent of the people involved were left-handed. For most people, left - or right-handedness might come down to chance. Changes in the levels of some molecules (分子) during important times of brain development could influence it, Francks suggested. Historically, many cultures disapproved of left-handedness and forced people to become right-handed. In English, the word “right” also means “correct” or “proper”. And the expression a “left-handed compliment” means that a comment might seem nice but is an insult. The new findings might have use in the field of mental health. People with schizophrenia (精神分裂) are around twice as likely to be left-handed or ambidextrous (左右开弓的) . Francks observed that genes involved in developing the brain in early life might be involved in brain asymmetry and mental health. “Our study found suggestive evidence of this, and we have also seen it in previous studies where we looked at more common genetic variants in the population, ” Francks added. 12. What is the text mainly about? A. A recent breakthrough in brain research. B. The close relationship between genes and health. C. New discoveries about why some people are left-handed. D. A rare variant has been ultimately discovered by researchers. 13. What is the main function of microtubules? A. Controlling the left hand. B. Transporting a special protein. C. Continuously changing TUBB4B. D. Establishing normal asymmetry in the brain. 14. What does the underlined phrase “an insult” mean in Paragraph 6? A. Rudeness. B. Explanation. C. Encouragement. D. Awareness. 15. What can be inferred about the new findings from the last paragraph? A. They prove left-handed people have serious mental health problems. B. They will overturn some previous conclusions. C. They have identified new genes involved in early brain development. D. They may contribute to further exploration of mental health. 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。 As we all know, “Going for a walk” is a popular pastime among older and younger generations. ___16___ . But you may be surprised to hear that wandering through pretty streets or hiking along mountainous ridges have not always been considered leisure activities, according to Daniel Gale, a researcher of walking. He says that in Britain, walking for fun “wasn't really a thing” until the 1780s. ___17___ , and some people associated it with criminal activity. But for Charles Dickens, the famous English 19th Century author, marching through London streets and walking around the countryside was a big part of the creative process; a time to absorb what was going on around him. But if speed-walking isn't your thing, perhaps you can take inspiration from another big- thinking wanderer. ___18___ . He said that he could not preserve his health and spirits unless he spent four hours a day walking at least. ___19___ , but has pedestrian etiquette (行人礼仪) remained the same? A 1780 article for the London Magazine advised pedestrians to avoid things such as walking in conversation and preventing people behind you. Nowadays, we could probably add distracted phone-users to that list. In this modern age, when many of us are tied to our desks and to our screens, the simple act of stepping out onto the city pavements, or getting lost in nature, may make all the difference to our wellbeing. ___20___ ? A. Is it safe to walk the streets alone at night B. By doing so, they help them strengthen their capacities C. This idea of taking a walk to clear your head has survived through to the 21st Century D. That's because it's beneficial for both physical and mental health E. Before that, it was just something people did out of necessity F. Whether you see yourself more as a casual or a purposeful walker, why not build a habit out of it G. 19th Century American writer Henry David Thoreau took a slower approach 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Over 30 years ago a book titled “The Alchemist” was published and it was ___21___ noticed.

It wasn't as easy as it sounds. I wasn't throwing things in my suitcase and cashing out my bank account while kissing friends and family goodbye. My boyfriend and I were recent graduates suffering economic troubles with no place to go. We had always wanted to go abroad to teach English, but weren't sure where we'd end up. My boyfriend, who is an optimist and fluent in Spanish, was very excited. At one o' clock in the morning after an argument over my fear, I just told him to book the tickets and I'd feel better. Well, I thought I'd feel better. We finally booked our long anticipated flight. I sat on the bed wondering why I felt so frightened of going. It had been a childhood dream of mine to travel abroad. It was rather terrifying, and for the first time in my life I was afraid of an adventure. Surprisingly, as I looked at our online plan of the trip, my stomach sank. Sickness filled my days when I looked around knowing I was going to leave everything I knew. I rationalized (使合理化) every excuse to get out of going but I reminded myself not to give up and that everything would work out. But the questions still popped up in my mind. Was I making a mistake? Was this risk going to be worth every penny and hardship? I tried telling myself to calm down and to just take the risk. I knew that if I could just get my bottom into my window seat that everything would be fine. But even then my fear didn't subside (减弱). It wasn't until the plane took off that I realized I had done it. We were twenty thousand miles in the air, and nine hours ahead of us was awaiting an entirely different world. But the fear was ever present. After a week of being a tourist, the fear remained hidden under a layer of excitement. 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。 I was only able to say a few phrases in Spanish that I remembered from middle school. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ We found jobs and an apartment within three weeks of arrival. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 大通县第二中学2024~2025学年第二学期期中考试 高二英语 全卷满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 注意事项： 1.答题前，先将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在试卷和答题卡上，并将条形码粘贴在答题卡上的指定位置。 2.请按题号顺序在答题卡上各题目的答题区域内作答，写在试卷、草稿纸和答题卡上的非答题区域均无效。 3.选择题用2B铅笔在答题卡上把所选答案的标号涂黑；非选择题用黑色签字笔在答题卡上作答；字体工整，笔迹清楚。 4.考试结束后，请将试卷和答题卡一并上交。 5.本卷主要考查内容：外研版至选择性必修第三册。 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。 例: How much is the shirt?

As students, what can we do to protect the environment? To reduce white pollution, we should use fewer plastic bags when going shopping. Use cloth bags instead. We should try to reuse old textbooks, so people needn’t cut down more trees to make paper. In order to save energy, we should use the lift less and take the stairs instead. We should also save water and electricity. And we should plant more trees so that the air will be fresher. Besides, it would be better if we walk or ride a bike to school. In fact, even the simplest everyday activities can make a difference to the environment. I believe that by working together we can make the world a better place to live in. 第二节（满分25分） 【47题答案】 【答案】One possible version: I was only able to say a few phrases in Spanish that I remembered from middle school. I stayed in the hotel as much as possible because I was afraid to go out and communicate with others, let alone take a bus by myself and get lost in some bad part of town. I couldn't sleep, and I was thousands of miles from home. With time. the fear slowly dissolved, and the unfamiliar became familiar. I kept on trying despite my reluctance and faked a smile when I wanted to scream and run. With the help of my boyfriend, I made rapid progress in speaking Spanish. We found jobs and an apartment within three weeks of arrival. I became an English teacher in a primary school. Everything worked out because I kept a positive affirmation despite the fear. Many of my friends made excuses for themselves by letting me know how easy it was for me to just up and leave to a foreign country because of my circumstances, especially having a boyfriend who spoke fluent Spanish. Yes, some of the opportunities I was afforded made the journey easier, but we worked really hard. I always tell my friends not to let fear paralyze us. Close our eyes and imagine that everything will work out. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
