A wave of inexpressible warmth and gratitude came flooding when the man reached out his shivering hands for the shiny dollars. Taking a firm grip of them in one hand and holding Edward’s hand warmly, he stammered out words of thanks in his broken English. Knowing his money would bring much hope to a family in distress, Edward expressed his pleasure to help them out. After wishing them a peaceful and happy New Year, Edward went back home with a light heart. The moment he reached home, he couldn’t wait to share with his father his act of charity. Hearing that, his father gave him a thumb up as recognition for his goodness. “My dear boy,” said his father, “Here are a dozen of books for you.” He continued with satisfaction, “They are a reward for your kindness to people in need. You do deserve them.” Edward couldn’t contain his excitement at being presented such encouraging gifts. Looking intently at what may be the best he had ever received, Edward felt an immense pride in himself, which flowed all over his body. Since then, these books given by his father have been serving as a constant reminder of the importance of lending a helping hand to others in trouble whenever he could. 高二英语试题 第 1 页 共 9 页 2024～2025学年度第二学期五校联考 高二年级 英语 注意事项： 1. 答题前，考生请用黑色字迹的钢笔或签字笔将自己的姓名、考生号、试室号填写在答题卡上。 2. 作答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用 2B 铅笔把答题卡上对应题目选项的答案信息点涂黑；如 需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案。 3. 非选择题必须用黑色字迹钢笔或签字笔作答，答案必须写在答题卡各题目指定区域内相应位置上； 如需改动，先划掉原来的答案，然后再写上新的答案；不准使用铅笔和涂改液。不按以上要求作答 的答案无效。 4. 考生必须保持答题卡整洁。考试结束后，只需将答题卡交回。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分 20分） 第一节 听力理解（共 5小题；每小题 2分，满分 10分） 每段播放两遍。各段后有几个小题，各段播放前每小题有 5秒钟的阅题时间。请根据各 段播放内容及其相关小题，在 5秒钟内从题中所给的 A、B、C项中，选出最佳选项，并在答 题卡上将该项涂黑。 听下面一段对话，回答第 1-2题。 1.

He was born in 1857 on a farm near Derry Church, a small Pennsylvania community. Frequent family moves interrupted his schooling and left him with limited education. He only completed the fourth grade. Following a four-year apprenticeship (学徒期) with a Lancaster candy maker, he established his first candy-making business in Philadelphia. That initial effort failed, so did his next two attempts in Chicago and New York. Returning to Lancaster in 1883, Hershey persevered in his dream and finally established the Lancaster Caramel Company, which quickly became an outstanding success. Hershey became fascinated with the German chocolate-making machinery exhibited at the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition. He bought the equipment for his Lancaster plant and soon began producing various chocolate creations. Hershey sold the Lancaster Company in 1900 in order to focus entirely on his chocolate business. Three years later, he returned to Derry Church to build a new factory. Through trial and error, he created his own formula (配方) for milk chocolate. In 1903 he began construction on what was to become the world’s largest chocolate plant. After its completion, Hershey’s milk chocolate quickly became the first nationally marketed product of its kind. With Milton Hershey’s success came a great sense of social responsibility. Hershey created a complete new community around his factory. He built a model town for his employees that included comfortable homes, an inexpensive public transportation system, a quality public school system and broad cultural opportunities. The town of Hershey continues to be a special place for its residents and a popular attraction for millions of visitors each year. Indeed, Milton Hershey’s achievements do speak for themselves. 11. What stopped Hershey from having systematic school education? A. His lack of interest in study. B. His family’s continual relocation. C. His failure to meet school requirements. D. His parents’ attaching little value to education. 12. Why did Hershey sell his Lancaster plant? A. The chocolate creation were of low quality. B. The plant had suffered a great financial loss. C. His chocolate business required a lot of money. D. He decided to fully concentrate on his business. 13. Which of the following best describes Hershey? A. Generous and open-minded. B. Strict and well-behaved. C. Determined and public-spirited. D. Humorous and ambitious. 高二英语试题 第 3 页 共 9 页 B Water shortage is one of the world’s biggest challenges. The World Health Organization (WHO) thinks one in three people globally do not have easy access to clean water. Desalinating (给…脱盐) ocean water could help. But currently-available desalination units typically require high-pressure pumps to push water through filters (过滤器), which makes it difficult to reduce their size without influencing the energy-efficiency of the device. Meanwhile, they are too expensive to set up widely. Now, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) researchers have developed a convenient desalination machine. Unlike traditional desalination units, the MIT machine uses electricity to remove the salt and other small things from the ocean water. More importantly, the suitcase-sized device needs less power to run. It can also be powered by a small solar panel that costs less than $50. The lack of filters and the low electricity requirements make the machine extremely cheap to set up. “Ease of use was one of the main motivations for creating the device.” said one researcher. After running lab experiments using water with different salinity(盐度) levels, they field-tested the device at Boston’s Carson Beach. The researchers set the box near the shore and put the tube into the water. In about half an hour, the device had filled a plastic cup with clear, drinkable water. The researchers believe their invention can deliver drinking water meeting WHO quality standards with a push of a button. Meanwhile, a smartphone app allows the user to control the unit wirelessly and receive real-time data on power consumption and water salinity. It also sends out information when the water is drinkable. The MIT team is now exploring ways to bring their machine to market. They believe it will benefit residents of small islands or those running away from natural disasters in the future. 14. What do we know about the current desalination units? A. They cannot work efficiently. B. They are usually large in size. C. They were developed by MIT. D. They cannot stand high pressure. 15. Which aspect of the new desalination device is Paragraph 2 mainly about? A. The original purpose. B. The working process. C. The practical advantages. D. The major components. 16. What makes the researchers confident in their invention? A. That it is user-friendly and effective. B. That it can provide lots of real-time data. C. That it can be supported by several smartphone apps. D. That it has successfully passed many lab experiments. 高二英语试题 第 4 页 共 9 页 C If a stranger offered you a free cookie, you might well eat it. But what if they also offered to give you $2? You might politely decline and walk away thinking, “Something smells odd.” In a study published in Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin, researchers found people tend to reject offers of “free money” because they seem “too good to be true”. The research bridges economics and psychology to explain why financial attraction can backfire. In the initial experiment, nearly 40 percent of participants ate a cookie offered freely, compared with about 20 percent of those offered $2 as well. “People typically imagine things like that someone did something disgusting to the cookie,” says study lead author Andrew J. Vonasch, a psychological scientist at University of Canterbury. Nine further experiments, involving more than 4,000 participants, used online questionnaires to present other cases. These included being offered money to accept a ride home, incredibly decent job wages and surprisingly cheap flights. In each case, higher financial profit reduced participants’ potential of accepting the offer. When an offer goes against normal expectations without explanation, people assume there are hidden reasons and imagine there will be “phantom costs”: unseen negative consequences, which lower the offer’s appeal. Other factors beyond the present moment may act as additional evidence for these costs. “Understanding that when others seem too generous, it may put us in their debt could also help explain people’s unwillingness. ” says Rachel McCloy, a psychologist at England’s University of Reading. “The old saying ‘there’s no such thing as a free lunch’ still holds true.” Another study showed that people who scored high on distrust tests tended to have more phantom costs. The researchers also showed how to reduce the effect: simply provide a reason for the deal. The “cheap flights” experiment included a condition where the seats were revealed to be very uncomfortable. “Uncomfortable seats aren’t typically a selling point,” Vonasch says. “But telling people the seats were uncomfortable made them more willing to take them because it was sufficient explanation.” 17. What does the underlined word “backfire” in Para. 1 mean? A. Bring about an opposite effect. B. Boost the success of an offer. C. Strengthen the appeal of a proposal. D. Cause an unexpectedly positive result. 18. Why is the saying “there’s no such thing as a free lunch” quoted in the last but one paragraph? A. To prove the phantom costs. B. To promote generosity in society. C. To doubt hidden costs of generous offers. D. To stop people from being cautious of free items. 19. What helps make the “cheap flights” more acceptable according to the experiment? A. Offering more flight credits. B. Discounting the price further. C. Providing some unrelated gifts. D. Giving a reasonable explanation. 高二英语试题 第 5 页 共 9 页 20. Which could be the best title for the text? A. Why People Embrace High-Value Offers B. How People Reject Free Money and Offers C. Why Some Deals Seem Too Good to Be True D. How Offers of Money Increase Acceptance Rates 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，并在答题卡上将该 项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 In every culture throughout time, the kitchen has had a powerful influence. The simple practice of sitting down together at the table gives us the chance to connect and communicate. 21 It depends on where you live, your age, and other factors, but the answer is, yes. Our intentions for “home” are developing. 22 Fast-paced lifestyles and work schedules make it hard to find time to shop for groceries and prepare meals. Online food delivery services have taken off, too. In 2016, one in 10 Chinese were ordering food online. Throughout Europe, online ordering accounts for 56 percent of the market in Sweden and 43 percent in Austria. In India, online food ordering is expected to reach close to 12 million dollars by 2023. While there is a trend towards bring-in and order-in food as well as dining out, the kitchen is still a core in home life. The magazine Food & Wine cited a survey in 22 countries asking about cooking habits. 23 At the lower end were South Koreans, who spent just 3.7 hours per week cooking. People in India were at the top with 13.2 hours per week spent in the kitchen. Simply being in the kitchen, cooking and eating with other people, can have healthy benefits. Regardless of its size, the kitchen is a warm and inviting place. 24 The difference is, now you can follow a recipe on your iPad while cooking. It’s true that impersonal appliances are connecting to each other and to us. Refrigerators order vegetables. Cooktop hoods with sensors turn on by themselves. While technology and our expectations for the kitchen are shape-shifting in real time, the fundamentals still remain the same. 25 A. So is cooking a way to express yourself? B. The global average was almost 6.5 hours. C. But is our relationship to the kitchen changing? D. It’s like gathering around a campfire in the past. E. People seem to be spending less time cooking worldwide. F. Now more of them are eating outside the home more frequently. G. The kitchen is where we connect with food and company in the soul of the home. 高二英语试题 第 6 页 共 9 页 第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分 37.5分） 第一节 完形填空（共 15小题；每小题 1.5分，满分 22.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和 D）中，选出可以填入空白 处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 I was annoyed that my mom had even scheduled the appointment with a doctor for me.

He wanted to be the first to wish a happy New Year to his family. He turned up at every door of the house, and shouted the words of “Happy New Year” in an excited voice. After a quick breakfast he hopped along the street like a happy bird, greeted and repeated the words to those he met. When he came back, his father gave him 50 dollars, saying he could buy whatever he had been wishing for. His face lighted up as he took them. He had wished for a long time to buy some interesting books that he had seen at the bookstore located near the river through the city. He thanked his father and danced out of the house again with a light heart, intending to buy those books. As he ran down the street, he noticed a poor family, the father, the mother, and three children shivering with cold in the winter wind. “I wish you a happy New Year,” cried Edward as he was happily passing on. The man took a look at the happy boy and shook his head sadly. Edward stopped and said, “It seems that you do not belong to this country.” The man again shook his head, a confused expression flashed over his face, for he could not understand or speak English. But the poor man pointed to his dry mouth, and to the children with hungry looks, as if to say, “These little ones have had nothing to eat for a long time.” 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。 Edward realized that these poor people were in trouble. “My dear boy,” said his father, “Here are a dozen of books for you.”
