The most beautiful sea in the world-Coral Sea If we consider the beauty of the seas, and not their coasts, then the first place should be given to the Coral Sea. The Coral Sea is a dangerous place for sailors, and at the same time one of the most beautiful places for diving, and all this is due to the unique coral reefs that are at its bottom. The second place-Red Sea The Red Sea is a truly magnificent place. It has rich fish stocks, a huge number of amazing creatures live in it, and the underwater world is exceptionally rich. Many corals live only here, and divers are strictly forbidden to break them. The third place-Caribbean This is the warmest exotic(异域风情的)place where not only the sea but also the plants on its coast please the eye. It’s located between North and South America, and on its shore there are a number of small countries. Many tourists come here, because rest here is inexpensive,and you can experience different cultural traditions. The fourth place -Bali Sea The Bali Sea is located in the Pacific Ocean. This is another paradise(天堂)for relaxation，receiving many tourists every season. The sea has a warm climate, creating ideal conditions for relaxing on the islands of Java, Sulawesi, Sumbawa, Madura. 1. For which group of people is the Coral Sea most suitable? A. Visitors hoping for beautiful and relaxing coasts. B. Swimmers looking for the best swimming pools. C. Professional divers with advanced equipment.

A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了世界上最美丽的四大海洋：海珊瑚海、红海、加勒比海、巴厘海。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据The most beautiful sea in the world-Coral Sea部分“The Coral Sea is a dangerous place for sailors, and at the same time one of the most beautiful places for diving, and all this is due to the unique coral reefs that are at its bottom.”（珊瑚海对水手来说是一个危险的地方，同时也是潜水最美丽的地方之一，而这一切都归功于海底独特的珊瑚礁。）可知配备先进设备的专业潜水员最适合去珊瑚海。故选C项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据The second place-Red Sea部分“The Red Sea is a truly magnificent place. It has rich fish stocks, a huge number of amazing creatures live in it, and the underwater world is exceptionally rich.”（红海是一个真正壮丽的地方。它有丰富的鱼类种群，生活着大量令人惊叹的生物，水下世界异常丰富。）可知如果你喜欢各种各样的海洋生物，你应该去红海。故选B项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据The third place-Caribbean部分的“Many tourists come here, because rest here is inexpensive,and you can experience different cultural traditions.”（许多游客来到这里，因为这里的休闲很便宜，你可以体验不同的文化传统。）许多游客来到加勒比海是为了以更低的成本欣赏不同的文化。故选A项。 B When young, I loved going on trail（小路） runs. It was my favorite way to escape stress. So, when I was back in my hometown after a tough first year of my Ph. D. program, I thought a trail run was just what I needed. But instead of helping me relax, the run did just the opposite. After I moved to the city for college, where my runs were on flat concrete paths instead of winding dirt trails, I used a GPS watch. When I went on trail runs again in the country, it constantly reminded me of the fact that I wasn’t keeping up with my usual pace. I turned my watch off, thinking that would allow me to enjoy my surroundings and find the peace I expected, but I worried I was underperforming. “Why can’ t I let go and just enjoy myself?” I wondered. But after some introspection（反省）, I realized why I was struggling—both on trail runs and in graduate school. Going into my Ph. D. , I had thought that my solid undergraduate track record would set me up for instant success. To my surprise, I was wrong. I lacked confidence in my research abilities which I thought stopped me performing well and I constantly felt my progress was too slow. Other students’ self-confidence and their excellent results made me feel insecure. Finally, one day I broke down in tears in my adviser’ s office. Then came my visit home: I was having trouble because I hadn’ t properly adjusted my expectations to the differences between an urban run and a trail run. A Ph. D. is like a trail run: Sometimes you can run fast. Sometimes you might find yourself climbing up a steep winding trail at a snail’ s pace. And that’ s OK. Barriers are unavoidable, and success looks and feels different on a challenging trail than it does on a smooth, flat path. Sometimes it’ s best to take a deep breath and do your best to meet the challenge. 4. How did the author feel when he was on trail runs again? A. Relaxed. B. Tired. C. Anxious. D. Happy. 5. What resulted in the author’ s poor performance in Ph. D A. His lack of confidence. B. His lack of hard work. C. His poor research abilities. D. His poor track record. 6. What does the author want to show in the last paragraph? A. His desire for success. B. His confidence of trail runs. C. His expectations in his study. D. His realization after the trail run. 7. What does the author want to tell us? A. Failure is the mother of success. B. Working out regularly is beneficial. C. It’ s important to make necessary adjustments. D. It’ s vital to turn to others for help. 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. D 7. C 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者在城市水泥路上和在乡村小路上跑步时的不同感受，反省了自己在博士课程方面不如意的原因，告诉读者要学会根据情况来调整自己的预期，去收获成功与满足。 4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段的“but I worried I was underperforming”可知，跑步没能让作者放松，相反却感到焦虑，故选C。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“I lacked confidence in my research abilities which I thought stopped me performing well and I constantly felt my progress was too slow.”可知，作者在学业方面差是由于自己对自己的研究能力缺乏自信，故选A。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。上文中作者对比了在城市水泥路上跑步和在乡村小路上跑步的不同，因此在文章末段作者表达了自己在经历这件事后的领悟，故选D。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。作者在文章中主要通过自己跑步时不同感受的对比，反省了自己在博士课程方面不如意的原因， 告诉读者要学会根据不同的情况来调整自己的预期，故选C。 【点睛】细节理解题大多是根据文章中的具体信息如事实、例证、原因、过程、论述等进行提问的。抓住文段中的事实和细节是做好该题型的关键，也是做好其它类型问题的基础。该题型几乎都可以在文章中直接找到与答案有关的信息，或是其变体。在一篇短文里大部分篇幅都属于这类围绕主体展开的细节。做这类题一般采用寻读法，即先读题，然后带着问题快速阅读短文，找出与问题和选项有关的词语或句子，再对相关部分进行分析对比，找出答案。正确选项虽然一般不是原文照搬，但是一般是原文的改写，意思不变。如换一个同义词，把否定改为肯定，把肯定改为否定等。如第2小题，根据第三段中的“I lacked confidence in my research abilities which I thought stopped me performing well and I constantly felt my progress was too slow.”可知，作者在学业方面差是由于自己对自己的研究能力缺乏自信，故选A。 C University of Pennsylvania researchers say that for the first time they have linked social media use to increases in depression and loneliness． The idea that social media is anything but social when it comes to mental health has been talked about for years， but not many studies have managed to actually link the two． To do that， Penn researchers， led by psychologist Melissa Hunt， designed a study that focused on WeChat， Snapchat and Instagram． The study was conducted with 143 participants， who before they began， completed a mood survey and sent along photos of their battery screens， showing how often they were using their phones to access social media． "We set out to do a much more complete study which attempts to imitate real life．" Hunt said． The study divided the participants into two groups： The first group was allowed to maintain their normal social media habits． The other， the control group， was restricted to 10 minutes per day on social media． The restrictions were put in place for three weeks and then the participants returned and were tested for outcomes such as fear of missing out， anxiety， depression and loneliness． The results showed a very clear link between social media use and increased levels of depression and loneliness． "Using less social media than you normally do would lead to significant decreases in both depression and loneliness，" Hunt said． Social media invites what Hunt calls "downward social comparison．" "When you're online， it can sometimes seem that everyone else is cooler and having more fun and included in more things and you're left out，" Hunt said． And that's just generally discouraging． "Every minute you spend online is a minute you are not doing your work or not meeting a friend for dinner or having a deep conversation with your roommate．" And these real life activities are the ones that can encourage self﹣esteem and self﹣worth， Hunt added． "People are on their devices， and that's not going to change，" she said． But as in life， a bit of control goes a long way． 8. Before the study was conducted， the participants completed a survey to　 　． A. imitate people's real life B. link loneliness to depression C. show their use of social media D. prove social media is important 9. The results of the study showed using less social media would result in　 　． A. people's fear of missing out B. higher levels of depression C. obvious relief in loneliness D. lower levels of happiness 10. In Hunt's opinion， which activity benefits more to mental health？ A. Hiking out with friends． B. Making comparison with others． C. Playing computer games in spare time． D. Logging onto social media and having fun． 11. Which can be the best title of the passage？ A. A Study on Social Media． B. How to Improve Mental Health． C. People Addicted to Social Media． D. Social Media Influences Mental Health． 【答案】8. C 9. C 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇说明文，社交媒体的使用与抑郁症的不断增加是有紧密联系的，由此可以看出：社交媒体影响心理健康。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段第一句The study was conducted with 143 participants，who before they began，completed a mood survey and sent along photos of their battery screens，showing how often they were using their phones to access social media．可知这项研究是由143名参与者进行的，在他们开始之前，他们完成了一项情绪调查，并发送了照片，显示他们使用手机访问社交媒体的频率。所以这项调查展示他们对社交媒体的使用，所以选C。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段句子第二句"Using less social media than you normally do would lead to significant decreases in both depression and loneliness"可知使用比平时少的社交媒体会导致抑郁和孤独感显著降低。所以答案选C。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段Hunt说的话“Every minute you spend online is a minute you are not doing your work or not meeting a friend for dinner or having a deep conversation with your roommate．”可知现实生活中的活动可以鼓励自尊和自我价值。可见和朋友一起远足对精神健康有好处，故选A。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第一句“University of Pennsylvania researchers say that for the first time they have linked social media use to increases in depression and loneliness．”可知本文通过把社交媒体的使用与抑郁症和孤独感的增加联系起来进行研究，得出最终的结论：社交媒体影响心理健康。所以选项D符合主旨。故选D。 II. 第二节 七选五（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Motivate Teens to Read With lots of studies showing the benefits of reading, how can teachers motivate their students to open a good book or power up their e-readers?

By taking part in this regular activity themselves, teachers show that they consider reading very important.(要求学生每天至少花20分钟进行独立阅读。通过亲自参与这项常规活动，教师表明他们认为阅读非常重要)”说明教师通过亲自阅读来强调阅读的重要性。空处和前文为因果关系，需体现老师以身作则的结果。所以F项“因此，即使他们非常忙，他们也总是找时间阅读。”符合语境。F选项中的“they”指代前文的“teachers”，且“find time to read”与前文“consider reading very important”相呼应。故选F。 【13题详解】 上文“Freedom to Choose(自由选择)”以及下文“For those who forget their books, provide them with access to novels, magazines or newspapers during required reading time.(对于那些忘记他们的书的人，在规定的阅读时间内为他们提供小说、杂志或报纸)”表明该部分围绕“让学生自主选择阅读材料”展开。空处需具体说明选择的自由，所以G项“允许学生选择他们自己的文学作品，只要它适合学校阅读。”符合语境。G选项中的“pick their own literature”与上文“Freedom to Choose”相呼应，“suitable for school reading”补充了选择的条件，与后文“forget their books”形成顺接，即先允许选择，再处理未带书的情况。故选G。 【14题详解】 上文“Teachers’ excitement for a particular book may have a huge influence on their students.(教师对某本书的兴奋可能对他们的学生产生巨大的影响)”说明教师的热情可以感染学生。空处需要进一步说明教师如何用自己的热情影响学生，所以B项“让学生了解一下这本书是关于什么的。”符合语境。B选项中的“what the book is about”暗示了教师可以先介绍书籍内容，激发学生的兴趣，与上文“excitement for a particular book”相呼应。故选B。 【15题详解】 上文“Make time to visit the school library and require students to borrow at least one book of interest.(安排时间参观学校图书馆，并要求学生至少借一本感兴趣的书)”说明教师鼓励学生去图书馆借书。空处需要说明借书前的一些建议或准备，所以D项“鼓励他们在借书之前花一些时间阅读这本书。”符合语境。D选项中的“before borrowing”与上文“borrow at least one book”相呼应。故选D。 【16题详解】 上文“With varied activities competing for students’ time and attention, it can be difficult to encourage youngsters to read.(随着各种各样的活动争夺学生的时间和注意力，很难鼓励年轻人阅读)”说明在当今社会，鼓励学生阅读并不容易。空处需要转折说明尽管如此，阅读仍然对学生有益，所以E项“然而，毫无疑问，阅读对学生的学习有帮助。”符合语境。E选项中的“however”表示转折，且“reading can help with students’ studies”与上文“encourage youngsters to read”相呼应。故选E。 II. 第二部分：语言知识运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 完形填空（共15小题；每小题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，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项 Molai grew up in a tiny village in India.

It was almost time to leave. He jumped into the car with his parents and headed off to the Olympic-sized pool for the big swim meet. When his race came up, Mike was confident. He was strong and swift. Mike climbed out the pool, smiling. He had just won first place, making him the fastest boy in his age group. “Congratulations, son,” his father said. His mom gave him a hug, even though he was soaking wet. A week later, it was time for another swim meet. Like before, Mike decided to enjoy his favorite ice cream flavor. Mike remembered that the last time he had won a race, he also ate mint chocolate chip ice cream first. Maybe he’d win again. He’s taken first place again in his race. Mike was feeling pretty good. As it turned out, Mike decided to have some mint chocolate chip ice cream before every one of the next few swim meets. He began to think of it as his lucky charm. After several months of placing in the top positions of every race he swam, Mike was feeling unbeatable. And he wouldn’t admit it, but all that ice cream was adding a few pounds to his athletic swimmer’s build. It didn’t take long after that for Mike to start coming in second place – and then third – and then last place in his races. The lucky mint chocolate chip ice cream had lost its magic. On the day of his next swim meet, his mother sat down at the table with him. “Mike, we all love ice cream, but it’s not healthy for your body to eat so much of it. Maybe it’s time to quit the sweet treats for a while, especially before you go swimming.”” Mike unwillingly agreed. He went to the swim meet, and didn’t perform well. His father offered to go running with him a few days a week to help him feel better and strengthen his muscles. The extra weight soon disappeared, and Mike found himself breathing easier at swim practices. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右。 2.开头已给出。 Paragraph 1: As he dove into the water, he kicked his legs and stretched his arms as far as he could. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: His jaw dropped as he realized he had beaten his own best time, and everyone else too. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 As he dove into the water, he kicked his legs and stretched his arms as far as he could. It struck endless energy and motivation into his body. His teeth clenched and his eyes fixed on the finish line forward. Suddenly, two figures whizzed past, which startled him. Fearing to fall behind, he felt his heart pounded frantically and his mind went blank. Just then, he thought of his sweat and his father’s encouraging smile.Gradually, his worry gave way to his confidence and the last 5 minutes saw him dash to the finish line, followed by the end of the race. His jaw dropped as he realized he had beaten his own best time, and everyone else too.The flowers in his heart were already in bloom. His parents came up and gave him a high five, grinning from ear to ear. “Hey, why not try your favorite ice cream and celebrate!” said his father, patting him on the shoulder. “Thanks, Dad, but I have given up the ice cream. It’s not such a lucky charm at all.” His eyes shone with wisdom. It was that day that Mike realized that one’s lucky charm was nothing but his diligence. 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Mike参加游泳比赛之前吃冰淇淋能带给他幸运，但是后面冰淇淋似乎失去魔力，Mike接下来的比赛接连失利使得他不情愿地戒掉甜食，但是比赛还是没有获胜，随后父亲陪他锻炼，在接下来的一次比赛中他获胜了，并感悟一个人的幸运符不过是他的勤奋而已。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“当他跳入水中时，他踢蹬腿，尽可能地伸展双臂。”可知，第一段可描写他努力冲向终点的过程。 ②由第二段首句内容“当他意识到他打破了自己的最好成绩，也打破了其他人的最好成绩时，他的下巴都掉了下来。”可知，第二段可描写他获胜之后的情形和内心感悟。 2.续写线索：跳入水中——努力向前——落后——想起父亲鼓励的话有了自信——赢得比赛——获胜后的情形——感悟 词汇激活 行为类 ①冲向……：dash to/rush to ②.咧着嘴笑：grin from ear to ear/ laugh from ear to ear ③.轻拍他的肩膀：pat him on the shoulder/tap him on the shoulder 情绪类 ①.使惊吓：startle/frighten ②.感到他的心狂跳不止：feel his heart pounded frantically/feel his heart beating wildly 【点睛】 [高分句型1]Fearing to fall behind, he felt his heart pounded frantically and his mind went blank.（运用了现在分词作状语） [高分句型2] It was that day that Mike realized that one’s lucky charm was nothing but his diligence.（运用了强调句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 河溪中学2024-2025学年度第二学期期中考试 高二级英语试卷 本卷满分130分，考试时间120分钟。 注意事项： 本试卷共四部分，共8页，满分130分，考试用时120分。 注意事项：1、答题前，将自己的姓名、班级和座位号填写在答题卡上 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点涂黑；如需要改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其它答案。 3、非选择题必须用黑色字迹的钢笔或签字笔作答，答案必须写在答题卡各题目指定区内相应位置上；如需改动，先划掉原来的答案，然后再写上新的答案；不准使用涂改液。不按以上要求作答无效， 第一部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（共11小题；每小题2.5分，满分27.5分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 A The Most Beautiful Seas in the World Considering the most beautiful seas, it’s worth paying attention to the southern water bodies,although, without doubt,each sea is attractive and charming in its own way. The most beautiful sea in the world-Coral Sea If we consider the beauty of the seas, and not their coasts, then the first place should be given to the Coral Sea. The Coral Sea is a dangerous place for sailors, and at the same time one of the most beautiful places for diving, and all this is due to the unique coral reefs that are at its bottom. The second place-Red Sea The Red Sea is a truly magnificent place. It has rich fish stocks, a huge number of amazing creatures live in it, and the underwater world is exceptionally rich. Many corals live only here, and divers are strictly forbidden to break them. The third place-Caribbean This is the warmest exotic(异域风情的)place where not only the sea but also the plants on its coast please the eye. It’s located between North and South America, and on its shore there are a number of small countries. Many tourists come here, because rest here is inexpensive,and you can experience different cultural traditions. The fourth place -Bali Sea The Bali Sea is located in the Pacific Ocean. This is another paradise(天堂)for relaxation，receiving many tourists every season. The sea has a warm climate, creating ideal conditions for relaxing on the islands of Java, Sulawesi, Sumbawa, Madura. 1. For which group of people is the Coral Sea most suitable? A. Visitors hoping for beautiful and relaxing coasts. B Swimmers looking for the best swimming pools. C. Professional divers with advanced equipment. D. Young sailors hoping to find unique coral reefs. 2. Where should you go if you like various sea creatures? A. Coral Sea. B. Red Sea. C. Caribbean. D. Bali Sea. 3. Why do many visitors come to the Caribbean? A. To appreciate different cultures with less cost. B. To look for more corals and the best places to dive. C. To admire how volcanoes erupt in a short distance. D. To relax on the islands of Java, Sulawesi and so on. B When young, I loved going on trail（小路） runs. It was my favorite way to escape stress. So, when I was back in my hometown after a tough first year of my Ph. D. program, I thought a trail run was just what I needed. But instead of helping me relax, the run did just the opposite. After I moved to the city for college, where my runs were on flat concrete paths instead of winding dirt trails, I used a GPS watch. When I went on trail runs again in the country, it constantly reminded me of the fact that I wasn’t keeping up with my usual pace. I turned my watch off, thinking that would allow me to enjoy my surroundings and find the peace I expected, but I worried I was underperforming. “Why can’ t I let go and just enjoy myself?” I wondered. But after some introspection（反省）, I realized why I was struggling—both on trail runs and in graduate school. Going into my Ph. D. , I had thought that my solid undergraduate track record would set me up for instant success. To my surprise, I was wrong. I lacked confidence in my research abilities which I thought stopped me performing well and I constantly felt my progress was too slow. Other students’ self-confidence and their excellent results made me feel insecure. Finally, one day I broke down in tears in my adviser’ s office. Then came my visit home: I was having trouble because I hadn’ t properly adjusted my expectations to the differences between an urban run and a trail run. A Ph. D. is like a trail run: Sometimes you can run fast. Sometimes you might find yourself climbing up a steep, winding trail at a snail’ s pace. And that’ s OK. Barriers are unavoidable, and success looks and feels different on a challenging trail than it does on a smooth, flat path. Sometimes it’ s best to take a deep breath and do your best to meet the challenge. 4. How did the author feel when he was on trail runs again? A. Relaxed. B. Tired. C. Anxious. D. Happy. 5. What resulted in the author’ s poor performance in Ph. D A. His lack of confidence. B. His lack of hard work. C. His poor research abilities. D. His poor track record. 6. What does the author want to show in the last paragraph? A. His desire for success. B. His confidence of trail runs. C His expectations in his study. D. His realization after the trail run. 7. What does the author want to tell us? A. Failure is the mother of success. B. Working out regularly is beneficial. C. It’ s important to make necessary adjustments. D. It’ s vital to turn to others for help. C University of Pennsylvania researchers say that for the first time they have linked social media use to increases in depression and loneliness． The idea that social media is anything but social when it comes to mental health has been talked about for years， but not many studies have managed to actually link the two． To do that， Penn researchers， led by psychologist Melissa Hunt， designed a study that focused on WeChat， Snapchat and Instagram． The study was conducted with 143 participants， who before they began， completed a mood survey and sent along photos of their battery screens， showing how often they were using their phones to access social media． "We set out to do a much more complete study which attempts to imitate real life．" Hunt said． The study divided the participants into two groups： The first group was allowed to maintain their normal social media habits． The other， the control group， was restricted to 10 minutes per day on social media． The restrictions were put in place for three weeks and then the participants returned and were tested for outcomes such as fear of missing out， anxiety， depression and loneliness． The results showed a very clear link between social media use and increased levels of depression and loneliness． "Using less social media than you normally do would lead to significant decreases in both depression and loneliness，" Hunt said． Social media invites what Hunt calls "downward social comparison．" "When you're online， it can sometimes seem that everyone else is cooler and having more fun and included in more things and you're left out，" Hunt said． And that's just generally discouraging． "Every minute you spend online is a minute you are not doing your work or not meeting a friend for dinner or having a deep conversation with your roommate．" And these real life activities are the ones that can encourage self﹣esteem and self﹣worth， Hunt added． "People are on their devices， and that's not going to change，" she said． But as in life， a bit of control goes a long way． 8. Before the study was conducted， the participants completed a survey to　 　． A. imitate people's real life B. link loneliness to depression C. show their use of social media D. prove social media is important 9. The results of the study showed using less social media would result in　 　． A. people's fear of missing out B. higher levels of depression C obvious relief in loneliness D lower levels of happiness 10. In Hunt's opinion， which activity benefits more to mental health？ A. Hiking out with friends． B. Making comparison with others． C. Playing computer games in spare time． D. Logging onto social media and having fun． 11. Which can be the best title of the passage？ A. A Study on Social Media． B. How to Improve Mental Health． C. People Addicted to Social Media． D. Social Media Influences Mental Health． II. 第二节 七选五（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项 How to Motivate Teens to Read With lots of studies showing the benefits of reading, how can teachers motivate their students to open a good book or power up their e-readers?
