新蔡县第一高级中学2024-2025学年高二下学期5月份月考 英语试题 一、听力（略） 二、阅读理解（每小题2.5分 共计50分） A Best books chosen by Pagan Kennedy Pagan Kennedy is an all-round individual widely known for her work as an author, journalist, and speaker. Below are the books she recommends offering hope and companionship in dark times. Tunnel 29 by Helena Merriman (2021). In 1961, a wall went up around East Berlin in the middle of the night, preventing almost everyone from fleeing. That step into fascism (法西斯主义) inspired a group of students to engineer an escape route, digging a tunnel that snaked from a basement in East Berlin to freedom. Merriman has reconstructed a lost history that unfolds like a heist movie (盗匪电影). Giovanni’s Room by James Baldwin (1956). Baldwin tends to be remembered as an essayist and author of The Fire Next Time. But if you’re exploring his work, consider starting with this novel, a page-turner about people trying to live their truth in the 1950s. Empire of Pain by Patrick Radden Keefe (2021). I was sucked into this book because I couldn’t look away from its characters’ evil. In a lightning war of brilliant reporting, Keefe reveals how the most sinful members of the Sackler family built a Big Pharma empire and pushed opiates (鸦片) into doctors’ offices and eventually the streets. The Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood (1985). Years ago Atwood asked herself a question, “If you wanted to seize power in the United States and set up a dictatorship, how would you go about it?” The 2017 TV adaptation of this novel was excellent, but you should really hold the story in your hand and read it. After all, it portrays a terrible society in which women have lost the right to even touch a book. 1. What is special about Tunnel 29 according to the text? A. It was created by James Baldwin. B. It is based on a true-life story of escape. C. It was written to oppose fascism directly. D. It has been adapted into a popular movie. 2. What attracted Pagan Kennedy to Empire of Pain? A. The evil figures within the narrative. B. The author’s brilliant writing style. C. The book’s focus on scientific innovation. D. The exposure of the Sackler family’s business model, 3. Why does Pagan Kennedy suggest reading The Handmaid’s Tale? A. Because its TV adaptation is not as good as the book. B. Because it describes a unique power-seizing process in the US. C. Because it helps people understand the current social situation better. D. Because it shows a terrifying society where women’s rights are severely restricted. B From Santa Barbara to Scotland, strangers are becoming friends by going on bike rides together. They get paired up by Cycling Without Age, an organization that helps seniors go for bike rides, even if they can’t pedal themselves. Hugh Lyon and David Lawrence, who are roughly 20 years apart in age, have been riding together for years. The 56-year-old Lawrence serves as a “pilot”, driving the trishaw — a bike with a passenger scat in the front that Cycling Without Age uses for their rides. They go for rides about once a week often discussing the history of their town. “Despite my departed parents, it gives me a connection with people from an older generation.” said Lawrence. “And I enjoy spending time with them and hearing their stories.” The pair have formed a friendship outside of cycling. Lawrence said he called Lyon often and went to the gym with him to help him with exercises he couldn’t do on his own. Ole Kassow, who founded Cycling Without Age, said that’s the power of the program. “The truly powerful thing about these bike rides is that they tie people and stories together to create new relationships.” he told CBS News. “My friendships and the ability to form new relationships at any age are what define a good life, and often also a long and happy life.” John Boettner started the Santa Barbara chapter. He has one rule for passengers. “They say, ‘What does it cost if I’m going to go for a ride?’ I say. ‘Here’s what it costs: You have to wave. If you don’t wave, I’m going to kick you out,’” he joked. He said he liked when they hit red lights, because it gave them a chance to connect with people on the road. “Driving the trishaw is the best advertisement for Cycling Without Age”, Boettner said. “When you take a 101-year-old woman for a bike ride and she holds your hand tight and says thank you and gives you a kiss on the cheek, it doesn’t get any better than that.” 4. What does the term “pilot” refer to in the text? A. A driver of a trishaw. B. A group leader. C. A test version of a project. D. A professional airplane operator. 5. What is the main benefit of the bike rides for the younger riders? A. They learn more about world history. B. They get paid for their time. C. They form connections with the elderly. D. They improve their cycling skills. 6. Who first started Cycling Without Age? A. Hugh Lyon. B. David Lawrence. C. John Boettner. D. Ole Kassow. 7. Why does John Boettner require passengers to wave during the bike rides? A. To keep them awake. B. To make them exercise. C. To promote the program. D. To signal to other drivers. C The Chinese animated (动画的) movie Ne Zha 2 has become the highest-earning animated movie of all time globally since Feb.18. This shows how big and successful China’s movie industry can be, according to China Daily. Masses of amazing visuals and exciting experience are key reasons for Ne Zha 2’s success. The movie has a huge challenge for any single studio. Instead of one company, 138 Chinese animation studios and over 4,000 professionals worked together to create the movie, including well-known giants and smaller studios, Beijing Daily reported. Red Whale Studios from Suzhou worked on a quarter of the production of NeZha 2, making it the biggest company involved in making the movie. The beautiful scenes in the movie, like fish swimming in the waves, were created by 160 people who worked day and night for 26 months, according to the official WeChat account of the Suzhou government. Director Yang Yu, better known as Jiaozi, explained that while international teams were initially considered for special effects, the results didn’t meet the standards. “Even top studios from international teams may use less experienced employees,” he told CCTV. Instead, he decided to let domestic teams refine the effects, ensuring the project was in expert hands. One standout example is the work with Fantawild Animation, a film company based in Shenzhen. They were responsible for creating the attractive waterfall in the forest fight scene. Waterfalls are massive in size and have complex and ever-changing flow patterns. To make the waterfall look realistic, the team used advanced physics simulation (模拟) techniques with 50 high-performance workstations to do the necessary processing. The team worked hard to ensure that the final effect was grand and consistent with the style of the waterfalls. In the movie, Ne Zha says, “If there’s no path ahead, I will create one.” Also,138 Chinese animation companies have come together to shape the future of Chinese animation, showing the strength and creativity of the industry. 8 What can be known about Ne Zha 2 from the passage? A. It features a large number of visual effects. B. It was produced by a Chinese movie company. C. It has won a good reputation in overseas markets. D. It has become the most profitable Chinese movie ever. 9. What does the underlined word “refine” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Replace. B. Improve. C. Create. D. Increase. 10. What does the example of Fantawild Animation suggest? A. The challenges of creating a realistic waterfall. B. The limitation of traditional animation techniques. C. The importance of working closely with international teams. D. The efforts of domestic teams to meet the movie’s high standards. 11. What does the author show about Chinese animation companies by Ne Zha’s line? A. Their success depends on market trends. B. They are eager to expand into overseas markets. C. They are determined to overcome challenges and innovate. D. Their strength and creativity result from Chinese animation. D We all know someone who never seems to be on time. But is there a good explanation for why some people are always late? The habit of being late probably results from a number of factors, including time perception (知觉), time management and personality, experts say. “It is likely that there’s a mechanism in the brain that causes some people to be late for meetings because they underestimate the time it will take them to get there,” said Hugo Spiers, a professor of cognitive neuroscience at University College London. “The hippocampus (海马体) is a region of the brain which processes some aspects of time, such as remembering when to do something and how long it takes,” Spiers said. Neurons in the hippocampus acting as “time cells” contribute to our perception and memory of events, but why exactly some people always underestimate time is unclear. One factor may be how familiar we are with space. For the 2017 study, Spiers asked 20 students who had newly moved to London to sketch a map of their college district and estimate travel time to different destinations. While the students’ space estimates expanded if they knew an area well, their estimates of travel time reduced with familiarity. “If you’re very familiar with a space, you start to discount the trouble it will take.” Spiers said. Another environmental factor may be crowdedness. In a 2022 study, researchers asked participants to estimate the length of more or less crowded simulated subway trips. They found that crowded commutes felt like they took 10% longer than less busy rides. Personality also plays a role in running late. Certain personality traits, such as reduced conscientiousness (责任), can cause some people to forget tasks that they had planned ahead of time. Another factor that may influence a person’s timeliness is his or her tendency to multitask. Research has shown that people who multitask are less likely to remember and complete other scheduled tasks on time. 12. What role does the hippocampus play according to the text? A. It processes time-related memory. B. It measures distance accurately. C. It helps with multitasking abilities. D. It predicts future events with precision. 13. What is the fourth paragraph mainly about? A. The importance of a college district. B. A study on the adaptation of new students. C. The effect of familiarity with space on time estimation. D. The influence of environmental factors on travel time. 14. Which of the following factors is least likely to be related to being late according to the text? A. Familiarity with space. B. The brain’s perception of time. C. The speed of a person’s walking. D. The crowdedness of public transportation. 15. In which section of a website can we probably read the text? A. Health Culture. B. Entertainment News. C. Education and Learning. D. Lifestyle and Psychology. E Four Surprising Ways to Boost Your Heart Health As much as 80% of premature heart disease is preventable through lifestyle choices. ___16___ Here are four surprising tips to protect your heart. Sleep and Stress Management. “When you’re not rested, everything that happens in your life is a lot more stressful,” says Dr. Arya Sharma, founder of the Canadian Obesity Network and a professor of medicine at the University of Alberta. If we’re sleep deprived(剥夺), our bodies also have more difficulty controlling blood pressure, swelling, and sugar levels. ___17___ Aim for eight hours of sleep each night to help your body recharge and reduce stress. Air Quality and Heart Health. Exposure to pollution over time raises your risk of heart disease. Breathing in dirty air from chemicals like sulphur dioxide(二氧化硫)and nitrogen oxides(氮氧化物)can harm blood vessels(血管)and cause swelling. ___18___ Try to get your outdoor exercise far away from highways and industrial districts and spend more time indoors when the air quality index is poor. The Power of Laughter and Social Connections. A 2016 study in the Journal of Epidemiology of more than 20,000 people over the age of 65 found a lower incidence of cardiovascular(心血管)disease in those who reported laughing every day. Laughter reduces stress and depression, and it may also serve as a mini-workout, helping your circulation and protecting the health of your arteries(动脉). ___19___ Helping others boosts self-esteem and reduces stress. Research shows that having a sense of purpose lowers the risk of heart attack and stroke. Volunteering creates social networks and can even increase physical activity. The Importance of Breakfast. ___20___ “If you’re eating a proper breakfast, you’re less likely to be hungry later and make poor food choices,” says Abramson. “We need to eat a balanced diet as part of a healthy lifestyle.” Choose whole-grain, low-fat breakfast foods and include fruit. A. These problems can all have an impact on heart health. B. Lack of sleep can lead to weight gain and other health issues. C. Similarly, volunteering improves both mental and physical health. D. Besides, social connections are important for overall well-being. E. Even short-time exposure is dangerous for people with high blood pressure. F. A study found that people who skipped breakfast were almost three times more likely to develop heart disease. G. While exercise and weight management are well-known strategies, lesser-known approaches can also make a big difference. 三、完型填空（每小题1分，共计15分） Banksy is a celebrated artist for creating extraordinary wall art.

The journey was long, and as she flew to England, Rosa spent much of the time imagining what her new life would be like. She was determined to do well at school and make her parents proud. However, when she arrived at the airport in London, it was not quite as she had imagined at all. Worst of all was the feeling that everybody was looking at her with strange eyes. Rosa noticed with surprise that she was the only one wearing a scarf. London proved to be a very strange and unfamiliar place. It rained constantly every day during the first week, and Rosa was unimpressed with what she thought was British summertime. Despite being told that her English was good, she struggled to understand people’s accents and slang (俚语). The young girl felt disappointed with her new surroundings and she missed her family and friends dearly. When the day came for Rosa to go to her new school, she was extremely nervous. Her aunt tried to comfort her, saying, “I’m sure you’ll make lots of friends today. You just wait and see.” But things didn’t go as smoothly as her aunt had hoped, at least not initially. Some girls in her class pointed and laughed at her, showing no interest in befriending the new girl. Feeling so different from everyone else, Rosa wished she could be back home with her family. During a lunch break, as Rosa sat alone in the corner of the playground, thinking how to escape back to Tehran, a young girl named Emily approached her. She introduced herself, shared her milkshake with Rosa, and said, “I think your scarf looks cool.” In return for her kindness, Rosa took out four biscuits from her pocket and shared them with Emily. Soon the two were lost in games, running about in the corner of the playground. They exchanged stories-Rosa told Emily all about life in Tehran, and Emily told Rosa about all of the cool things she could do in London. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 As the days went by, Rosa and Emily became good friends. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ One day, Emily invited Rosa to a picnic in the park. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 新蔡县第一高级中学2024-2025学年高二下学期5月份月考 英语试题 一、听力（略） 二、阅读理解（每小题2.5分 共计50分） A Best books chosen by Pagan Kennedy Pagan Kennedy is an all-round individual widely known for her work as an author journalist, and speaker.

But is there a good explanation for why some people are always late? The habit of being late probably results from a number of factors, including time perception (知觉), time management and personality, experts say. “It is likely that there’s a mechanism in the brain that causes some people to be late for meetings because they underestimate the time it will take them to get there,” said Hugo Spiers, a professor of cognitive neuroscience at University College London. “The hippocampus (海马体) is a region of the brain which processes some aspects of time, such as remembering when to do something and how long it takes,” Spiers said. Neurons in the hippocampus acting as “time cells” contribute to our perception and memory of events, but why exactly some people always underestimate time is unclear. One factor may be how familiar we are with space. For the 2017 study, Spiers asked 20 students who had newly moved to London to sketch a map of their college district and estimate travel time to different destinations. While the students’ space estimates expanded if they knew an area well, their estimates of travel time reduced with familiarity. “If you’re very familiar with a space, you start to discount the trouble it will take.” Spiers said. Another environmental factor may be crowdedness. In a 2022 study, researchers asked participants to estimate the length of more or less crowded simulated subway trips. They found that crowded commutes felt like they took 10% longer than less busy rides. Personality also plays a role in running late. Certain personality traits, such as reduced conscientiousness (责任), can cause some people to forget tasks that they had planned ahead of time. Another factor that may influence a person’s timeliness is his or her tendency to multitask. Research has shown that people who multitask are less likely to remember and complete other scheduled tasks on time. 12. What role does the hippocampus play according to the text? A. It processes time-related memory. B. It measures distance accurately. C. It helps with multitasking abilities. D. It predicts future events with precision. 13. What is the fourth paragraph mainly about? A. The importance of a college district. B. A study on the adaptation of new students. C. The effect of familiarity with space on time estimation. D. The influence of environmental factors on travel time. 14. Which of the following factors is least likely to be related to being late according to the text? A. Familiarity with space. B. The brain’s perception of time. C. The speed of a person’s walking. D. The crowdedness of public transportation. 15. In which section of a website can we probably read the text? A. Health Culture. B. Entertainment News. C Education and Learning. D. Lifestyle and Psychology. 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【导语】这篇文章是一篇说明文。主要探讨从大脑机制、空间熟悉度、环境拥挤度和人格特质等多个角度，科学分析了导致人们迟到行为的各种因素。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段第一句““The hippocampus is a region of the brain which processes some aspects of time, such as remembering when to do something and how long it takes,” Spiers said. (Spiers说：“海马体是大脑中处理与时间有关的方面的区域，比如记住什么时候该做什么事情以及需要多长时间。)”可知，海马体的功能是处理与时间相关的记忆。故选A项。 【13题详解】 主旨大意题。第四段主要描述了一项关于空间熟悉度对时间估计影响的研究。根据第四段第三句“While the students’ space estimates expanded if they knew an area well, their estimates of travel time reduced with familiarity. (当学生们对一个区域很熟悉时，他们对空间的估计会扩大，但对旅行时间的估计会随着熟悉度的增加而减少。)可知，本段重点讨论空间熟悉度如何影响时间估计。故选C项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。全文共六段，第一段是总起段，后面泽讨论了导致迟到的多个因素，包括：海马体对时间的处理（第二、三段）、空间熟悉度（第四段）、环境拥挤度（第五段）和人格特质（第六段）。唯独没有提到“步行速度”这个因素。故选C项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。全文从心理学和神经科学的角度分析了迟到的原因，属于生活心理学的范畴。根据最后一段第一句“Personality also plays a role in running late. (人格特质也会影响迟到行为。)等心理学相关论述可知，最可能读到该文的应是某网站上“生活方式与心理学”这一栏目。故选D项。 E Four Surprising Ways to Boost Your Heart Health As much as 80% of premature heart disease is preventable through lifestyle choices. ___16___ Here are four surprising tips to protect your heart. Sleep and Stress Management. “When you’re not rested, everything that happens in your life is a lot more stressful,” says Dr. Arya Sharma, founder of the Canadian Obesity Network and a professor of medicine at the University of Alberta.

The journey was long, and as she flew to England, Rosa spent much of the time imagining what her new life would be like. She was determined to do well at school and make her parents proud. However, when she arrived at the airport in London, it was not quite as she had imagined at all. Worst of all was the feeling that everybody was looking at her with strange eyes. Rosa noticed with surprise that she was the only one wearing a scarf. London proved to be a very strange and unfamiliar place. It rained constantly every day during the first week, and Rosa was unimpressed with what she thought was British summertime. Despite being told that her English was good, she struggled to understand people’s accents and slang (俚语). The young girl felt disappointed with her new surroundings and she missed her family and friends dearly. When the day came for Rosa to go to her new school, she was extremely nervous. Her aunt tried to comfort her, saying, “I’m sure you’ll make lots of friends today. You just wait and see.” But things didn’t go as smoothly as her aunt had hoped, at least not initially. Some girls in her class pointed and laughed at her, showing no interest in befriending the new girl. Feeling so different from everyone else, Rosa wished she could be back home with her family. During a lunch break, as Rosa sat alone in the corner of the playground, thinking how to escape back to Tehran, a young girl named Emily approached her. She introduced herself, shared her milkshake with Rosa, and said, “I think your scarf looks cool.” In return for her kindness, Rosa took out four biscuits from her pocket and shared them with Emily.

Her English improved, and she found herself understanding people better. Most importantly, she realized that having a friend like Emily made all the difference. One day, Emily invited Rosa to a picnic in the park. It was a sunny day, and the park was full of people enjoying the weather. Rosa was nervous at first, but Emily’s encouragement helped her relax.
