Sailing among them is a wonderful way to spend a few days or more. Land on the little islands for further exploration and rock climbing. Take note of the season, though. Monsoons (季风) from June through September and again from January to March can limit visibility. Banaue Rice Terraces, the Philippines Supposedly entirely built by hand, the 2,000-year-old stone-and-mud-walled terraces in the Philippines are watered by rivers and springs. During the harvest season, when the rice plants are bright green, the valleys practically shine in the sunshine, and walking around the hillsides is a dreamlike experience. Mount Kinabalu, Malaysia An advertisement for Mount Kinabalu is that on a good day you can see all the way to the Philippines. Chances are that you won’t see the Philippines from the peak because of frequent fog and rain, but that doesn’t mean you should forget about climbing Borneo’s highest mountain. It’s one of the most accessible mountains in the world. However, it’s still a tiring journey to the 4,095-metre peak. Ko Lanta, Thailand Home to some of the best sand and water in the world, it’s no wonder that everyone jets off to Ko Lanta. In Ko Lanta, there are beautiful long white sand beaches which are always crowded with tourists. Some of the best diving in Southeast Asia can be found here. 21. When is it suitable to go to Ha Long Bay? A. In October. B. In September. C. In July. D. In March. 22. What can we learn about Mount Kinabalu? A. It has shining rice plants. B. It is the highest mountain in Asia. C. It takes much effort to reach its peak. D. It is a popular destination for rock climbing. 23 Which of the following is the best choice for divers? A. Ko Lanta. B. Banaue Rice Terraces. C. Mount Kinabalu. D. Ha Long Bay. B Last Monday, I visited Jalan Besar to find a new fan blade (风扇叶片) for a standing fan that my daughters had broken. I worked in the Jalan Besar area 30 years ago and remembered that there were lots of small hardware shops selling unusual things so I thought that I would have no problem finding a fan blade. However, after walking around for almost an hour, I found out that these shops were no longer around. When I was ready to give up and go home, I spotted an old-fashioned hardware store. After being greeted by a woman, I explained my predicament. She immediately asked me to show her the broken blade. Out of nowhere, a man who looked to be in his 60s came out. He asked to see the blade and then disappeared into the shop. He came back with a blade but it did not look the same as what I had in my hand. We compared the two blades and he said that it might work. I asked him how much it was. He told me that he had taken the blade off an old fan that someone had brought in for repair. He said, “It didn’t cost me anything, so why should I charge you for it?” That really touched me. I took the blade home and it worked perfectly! My daughters got a “new” fan for nothing. When I told my wife (almost in her 60s) this story, she said this reminded her of the kind aunties and uncles who used to run small shops and were always ready to help others when she was growing up. 24. Why did the author go to Jalan Besar? A. To visit his old friends. B. To apply for a job. C. To fix the broken fan. D. To buy a new fan. 25. What does the underlined word “predicament” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Nervous mood. B. Difficult situation. C. Anxious waiting. D. Boring moments. 26. Which of the following can best describe the old man? A. Kind and brave. B. Honest and helpful. C. Determined and curious. D. Open-minded and humorous. 27. How did the author’s wife react to his experience? A. She remembered the old days. B. She was greatly surprised. C. She couldn’t believe it. D. She thought little of it. C The measure of a good night’s sleep is usually based on two things—the amount of time spent sleeping and the quality of that sleep. But now researchers say there is a third thing that matters even more than the other two when it comes to keeping good sleep habits, and that is having a regular bedtime. A study has found that going to sleep and waking up at the same time every day have an important effect on one’s health. Adults who stick to a regular bedtime tend to weigh less, have lower blood sugar and reduced risk of heart disease. The researchers studied the sleeping habits of 2, 000 adults with an average age of 69. They found that people with greater irregularity(无规律) in their sleep patterns tended to go to sleep later at night, feel sleepy and sleep more during the day, and experienced reduced light exposure. These people were also more likely to be stressed. Among the three kinds of sleep problems, sleep regularity was the most strongly associated with health. Of course, there are many people for whom this may be impossible, such as night-shift workers or those with late-night duty. But for those who don’t have mandatory (强制的) reasons to stay up late, they should make an effort to go to bed at the same time every night. Skip the late afternoon coffee. Get off the phone. Try this calculator to figure out the best bedtime. As Matthew Walker, a scientist, wrote, “The shorter your sleep, the shorter your life.” Surely that’s reasonable enough to go to bed on time. 28. What can we infer from the research? A. The older you are, the more stressed you feel. B. Poor sleep has a lot to do with our health. C. The old often have less sleep. D. Adults enjoy sleeping late. 29. According to the author, which of the following helps us have a good sleep? A. Losing weight. B. Experiencing more light exposure. C. Giving up coffee in the late afternoon. D. Figuring out the amount of time spent sleeping. 30. Why are Matthew Walker’s words mentioned? A. To remind us how to live a better life. B. To present disadvantages of sleeping late. C. To show the importance of the good sleep. D. To tell us how long we should sleep every day. 31. What’s the best title for the text? A. The Importance of Sleep. B. Stick to a Regular Bedtime. C. Ways to Have a Good Sleep. D. The Suitable Time for Sleep. D Jason M. Allen was almost too nervous to enter his first art competition. Now, his award-winning image is stirring debates about whether art can be generated by a computer, and what, exactly, it means to be an artist. In August 2022, Allen, a 39-year-old game designer who lives in Pueblo West, Colorado, won first place in the “digital arts/digitally-operated photography” category at the Colorado State Fair Fine Arts Competition. His winning image, titled Théatre D’opéra Spatial, was made with Midjourney—an artificial intelligence system that can produce detailed images when fed written prompts (提示). Allen’s winning image looks like a bright cross between a classic and modern painting. It’s one of three such images he entered in the competition. Allen posted excitedly about his win on Midjourney’s Discord server on August 25, along with pictures of his three entries; it spread quickly on Twitter days later, with many artists feeling angry about Allen’s win because of his use of AI to create the image. “He just ‘pressed a few buttons to make a digital art piece’,” one Twitter user wrote. “We’re watching the death of art unfold before our eyes.” However, to get the final three images he entered in the competition, Allen said, he took over 80 hours. First, he played around with phrasing that led Midjourney to generate images of women in nice dresses and space helmets. Over time, with slight adjustments to his written prompts, he created 900 repeating processes of what led to his final three images. He gave the final touch to those three images in Photoshop. Then he ran the images through another software program called Gigapixel AI that can improve resolution (分辨率) and had the images printed at a local print shop. Allen is glad that the debate over whether AI can be used to make art is getting so much attention. “Rather than hating the technology or the people behind it, we need to recognize it’s a powerful tool and use it for good so we can all move forward,” Allen said. 32. What do we know about Theatre D’opera Spatial? A. Its beauty is widely accepted. B. Its creation is an easy process. C. It shows the death of traditional art. D. It has caused a lot of arguments. 33. What did Allen do to create his entries? A. He searched for smart written prompts. B. He edited his final images in Photoshop. C. He fed Midjourney with famous paintings. D. He developed the software named Gigapixel. 34. What is Allen’s attitude to the debate over Al-created art? A. Worried. B. Uncaring. C. Positive. D. Annoyed. 35. What might be the best title for the text? A. AI Beats Out Human Artists in the Art Field B. AI Won an Art Contest and Artists Are Angry C. An Artist Wins State Fair Art Contest and Laughs D. The Artist From Pueblo West Is Defending His Work. 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。 How to Reach a Healthy Weight Diets aren’t the way to go when it comes to losing weight. Most dieters gain back any lost weight when they go back to their old eating habits. ____36____ Here are four ways to make that happen: Exercise. ____37____ Walking the family dog, cycling to school, and doing other things that increase your daily level of activity can all make a difference. If you want to burn more calories, increase the intensity of your workouts and add some strength exercises to build up your muscles. I he more muscles you have，the more calories you burn, even when you aren’t exercising. ____38____ One reason why people get less exercise these days is that there is an increase in “screen time”—the amount of time spent watching TV, looking at the computer, using mobile devices, or playing video games. Limit recreational screen time to less than 2 hours per day. If you’re staying with friends at the mall, you re getting more exercise than if you’re texting them in your room. Watch out for portion distortion. Portion sizes are bigger than they used to be, and these extra calories contribute to obesity. Another key factor in weight gain is that more people drink sugary beverages, such as sodas, juice drinks, and sports drinks. ____39____ Don’t skip breakfast. Breakfast kick starts your metabolism (新陈代谢), burning calories from the beginning and giving you energy to do more things during the day. ____40____ So they get more calories than they would have if they had eaten breakfast. A. Go out regularly. B. Reduce screen time. C. So what’s the best way to drop excess weight? D. Regular physical activity burns calories and builds up muscles. E. They are puzzled about how they should deal with their eating habits. F. People who skip breakfast often feel so hungry that they eat more later on. G. So choose smaller portions and go for water or low-fat milk instead of sodas. 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。 I remember it was a hot Sunday.

Jack’s father was a repairman who spent his days fixing cars, so his hands were always dirty. Jack’s father never said much, but his eyes always seemed to say, “I’m proud of you, son.” And Jack felt it in every nod. Their relationship was a quiet one, with an unspoken bond (纽带). One day, Jack came home from school with a flyer (传单) in his hand. His eyes were bright with excitement as he showed it to his father. “Dad, there’s a school talent show next month, and I want to enter. I’ve been learning guitar for months,” Jack said to his father. His father looked up from the engine he was working on. “You play the guitar?” he asked in surprise. Feeling a little embarrassed, Jack nodded, saying, “Yeah, I’ve been taking lessons. I think I’m ready.” His father cleaned his hands with a piece of cloth, looked at Jack and smiled, “I’ll be there, son. I wouldn’t miss it.” Through his father’s eyes, Jack knew he had his father’s support. The days leading up to the talent show were more practice and anxiety for Jack. He would come home after school and lock himself in his room, the sound of his guitar echoing (回响) through the house. His father didn’t speak too much, but he would prepare delicious food and smiled at Jack whenever he saw his son. He would also quietly listen to the music from the living room. Although Jack felt tired or nervous sometimes, he felt pushed forward by unspoken love. The day of the talent show arrived, and the school hall was filled with excitement. Jack’s hands were shaking as he prepared his guitar backstage. He looked out into the audience and found his father with a broad smile on his face. 注意： 1. 续写词数应150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 As Jack stepped onto the stage, the lights dimmed (变暗) and the audience quieted down. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “I didn’t know you could play like that,” his father said. “You were great.” ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 环县一中2024~2025学年度第二学期期中考试 高二英语试题 考生注意： 1. 满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 2. 考生作答时，请将答案答在答题卡上。选择题每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑；非选择题请用直径0.5毫米黑色墨水签字笔在答题卡上各题的答题区域内作答，超出答题区域书写的答案无效，在试题卷、草稿纸上作答无效。 3. 本卷命题范围：必修第一册至选择性必修第三册。 第一部分 听力 (共两节，满分30分) 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 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?

Jack took a deep breath, trying to calm his nerves. He looked out at the sea of faces, his eyes landing on his father. With a final adjustment of his guitar, he began to play. His fingers danced across the strings, and the music filled the hall. At first, there was a slight tremble in his playing, but as he got lost in the melody, his confidence grew. The audience sat spellbound, and by the end of the performance, the hall erupted into thunderous applause. Jack felt a huge sense of relief and pride wash over him. “I didn’t know you could play like that,” his father said. “You were great.” A big smile spread across Jack’s face. “Thanks, Dad. I couldn’t have done it without your support.” His father put his arm around Jack’s shoulders. “I always knew you had it in you, son. I’m so proud of you.” Jack realized that his father’s quiet presence and unspoken love had been the driving force behind his success. From that day on, their unspoken bond grew even stronger, and Jack knew that no matter what challenges lay ahead, his father would always be there, silently cheering him on. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$英语科听力部分，该部分分为第一第二两节。注意做题时先将答案标在试卷上，录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。现在是听力试音时间。Hello, international friends club, can I help you?
