A Top Cookbooks of 2024 高二英语学科第二次月考试题 第2页共12页 The Wok: Recipes and Techniques by J. Kenji L6pez-Alt The Wok' appeal is not innovation; you can find many dishes like Kung Pao Shrimp and Cumin Lamb on many Chinese restaurant menus. But you don't have to leave your home. As far as I'm concerned. it's worth the sticker price to learn the techniaues Turkey and the Wolf: Flavour Trippin'in New Orleans by Mason Hereford Chef Mason Hereford has put to paper some of the magic that draws locals and tourists alike to his popular New Orleans sandwich shop, Turkey and the Wolf.

I was with my in-laws and my wife and naturally, we went to restaurants whenever we were hungry. Having lived in North America for my entire life, I had certain expectations of restaurants: You go in. peruse the menu, place your order get your food, eat it, pay, tip, and go on your way. I knew that European countries did not generally participate in tipping culture, but I didn't understand how that fundamentally altered the entire business interaction. Whenever we finished eating, we would relax with the dishes that we were very obviously done with, chat for a bit, and wait for the bill. Wait. wait. and wait This happened at every restaurant we went to: After we were done and ready to pay and leave. we would end up waiting twenty or thirty minutes to actually get the bill and pay. We absolutely could not figure it out! The seryers seemed to be so attentive to everyone else in the restaurants, the locals but for the obvious group of tourists, we were just left to wait, wait, and wait! It was actually getting frustrating! I finally figured it out on the last day of our trip, watching the locals, When the locals finished their meals: they would not pay immediately, Instead, they would sit. and chat, and just sort of... hang out. They would pay when they were ready to leave, and no one would hustle (催促) them out of there Because the servers weren't working for pennies and dependent on tips, they had no reason to move people along. Everyone was allowed to move at their own pace, pay when they were ready to pay, and leave when they were ready to leave. The servers would expect the customers to approach or signal them that they were done, rather than checking every few minutes to get things moving, What a novel experience! I wish we had figured it out sooner 24. What does the underlined word "peruse" in paragraph I probably mean? A. Ignore quickly. B. Read hesitantly. C. Read carefully. D. Changing randomly. 25. Why did the author find the restaurant experience upsetting at first? A. The servers ignored the needy tourists B. They had to wait too long to pay the bill C. The food failed to live up to their expectations D. They were served their food later than 高二英语学科第二次月考试题 第4页共12页 expected. 26. How did the locals signal that they were ready to leave? A. They tipped the servers generously. B. They gave the servers a unique gesture C. They waited for the servers to check on them. D. They called the server to the table when ready. 27. In which column of a news website can we read this text? A. Diet and health. B. Food and culture. C. Sports and fitness. D. Morals and virtues. C Extremely authentic-looking prosthetic (假体的) eyes can now be 3D-printed in a fraction of the time it would normally take to produce the eyes by hand. scientists demonstrate in a new study The new technology can create a prosthetic eye in just 90 minutes, compared with the eight hours it would normally take a skilled technician, or ocularist, to produce one by hand. The 3D-printed eyes require five times less labour to make than traditional methods, the scientists behind the technology wrote in a new paper published in the journal Nature Communications. The 3D-printed eyes also look more natural than traditional prostheses: this could help improve a patient's self-confidence in using the devices. "Patients are very conscious about wearing a prosthesis. and they don't want others to notice,"Johann Reinhard, lead study author and a researcher at the Fraunhofer Institute for Computer Graphics Research in Germany, told us. "With these more realistic eyes, it might help them to participate more in society." he said The new printing approach involves taking a specialized image of a patient's empty eye socket (眼窝) and of their healthy eye. These images are then processed and used to draft blueprints that can be sent to be 3D-printed in the lab. These 3D-printed eyes closely replicate the colour, size and structure of the patient's healthy eye and are particularly good at capturing the coloured part of the eye. known as the iris, and the white part of the eye, called the sclera. Once finished, the eyes take 15 to 30 minutes to be installed by an ocularist. Reinhard said "About 8o% of adults in need of prosthetic eyes could theoretically have one made this way, either due to a birth defect that causes an eye to be small or missing or because they've lost an eye," 高二英语学科第二次月考试题 第5页共12页 the team said. "However, this wouldn't be possible for all patients, such as those who have a very complex eye socket, as the software wouldn't be able to find a matching shape for the prosthetic eye," Reinhard said "More data are needed to see if this technique could also be used to make prosthetic eyes for children, which would require more regulation," Reinhard said 28. Which of the following can best describe the 3D-printed eyes? B. Eco-friendly. A. Time-consuming. C. Realistic-looking D. Fit-of-all 29. How does the author develop his idea in Paragraph 2? A. By giving examples. B. By justifying an idea. C. By making a comparison D. By providing evidence 30. What can we know about a 3D-printed eye? A. Not every adult in need of a prosthetic eye can possibly have one B. The patients prefer to show off their prosthetic eyes C. The installment of one is 5 times faster than a traditional prosthetic eye D. It normally takes a skilled technician, or ocularist, to produce one 31. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. 3D Printing-a Promising Technology B. 3D-printed Eyes-a Better Alternatiye C. Prosthetic Eyes-the Hope for all Blind People D. 3D-printed Eyes-a Source of Confidence D In May, China Railway conducted a survey on the demand for pet transportation on high-speed trains. The survey gained widespread attention far beyond potential train passengers. While many pet owners looked forward to the possibility of bringing pets onboard, some people were worried that the pets might cause injuries and spread diseases. The industry surrounding pets is considered to have begun in 1992, the year in which the 高二英语学科第二次月考试题 第6页共12页 country's first organization devoted to small animal protection was founded. According to a recent report, China's pet economy was valued at 592.8 billion yuan ($83 billion) in 2023. In May, some new standards for lost animal rescue and pet funerals were proposed. A month later, Shanghai became the first city in the country to issue rules for the display of animals in indoor commercial places These developments have highlighted the shifting role of animals in China's cities and the necessity for more regulation of the pet economy. The rising number of pets in cities over the past three decades has caused heated debates over the use of public resources and spaces. As more and more people see pets as not just animals living under the same roof, but as close members of their families and communities, finding the right balance for people and animals to coexist in a city environment becomes an increasingly important task 32. Why did China Railway conduct the survey? A. To analyse the needs of pets traveling on trains B. To know the exact number of pets in China C. To find the cause of people's keeping pets. D. To conclude the response of the owners of pets 33. What can we know about pet economy in China? A. Most of the people are worried about it B. It was valued at 592.8 billion dollars in 2023 C. It was first started in Shanghai before 2023 D. More rules are needed for its development 34. How does the author develop the second paragraph? A. By following space order B. By following time order C. By giving some examples. D. By making comparison. 35. What could be the best title for the passage? A. Pets in the city. B. China Railway's survey. 高二英语学科第二次月考试题 第7页共12页 C. Pets on the train. D. China Railway's worry. 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。 Your identity is who or what you are and what you do. Just as the things you do, such as following popular fashion, create your identity, the things you read do too. Books, magazines or even websites you frequently read or visit influence the way you think and what you believe in.36 For example, if you had read that littering lills the earth and contributes to pollution and that has convinced you, you will believe that littering is bad. Therefore, you will not litter. This is the message you will spread to the people around you. This willin turn cause the world around you to see you as someone who loves the earth and you willnot litter no matter where you go. 37 Research has shown that reading also affects the way you interacts with people around you Reading fiction makes you more empathetic (共情的) to the lives around you. This is because reading stories leads you to imagine situations, and this makes you understand others better. 38 You become less self-centred and more caring. People start seeing you as someone who is merciful, and that becomes part of your identity _ What is more important, though, is that you engage in intentional reading, paying close attention to what you feed your mind. Read autobiographies or biographies of people who inspire you if you want to be more like them. 40 If you want to be a songwriter, read more poetry! So, go on. Pick up a book today and read. A new you awaits you A. You don't have to select a book that is suitable for you B. This becomes part of your identity -an earth-lover C. The things you believe in, then, determine the things you do. D. If you want to be a productive writer, read more fiction books. E. This is because reading plays an important role in shaping your identity F. Therefore, it enables you to be more tolerant and accepting of differences. G. It is important to read as it affects you to a large extent, creating your identity 高二英语学科第二次月考试题 第8页共12页 第三翻分:运用(共两节,满分30分) 第一节:(共15小题:悔小题1分,满分15分) 阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出哥以填入空白处 的最佳项。 During tho 2025 Spring Festlval movie season, a remarkable film took the Chinese clnemas by storm.
