It was first proposed in 1857 by Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux, who won a design competition to create the park. Construction began in 1858 and was completed in 1873. The park is 843 acres and is home to numerous landmarks, including the Central Park Zoo, the Central Park Conservatory Garden, the Bethesda Fountain, the Delacorte Theater and the Central Park Mall. Brooklyn Bridge Brooklyn Bridge was built in 1883, which was designed by John A. Roebling, and its construction was led by his son, Washington Roebling. Before Brooklyn Bridge was built, Brooklyn was considered a separate city entirely, and not classified as part of New York City. The bridge was a crucial link in connecting the two cities, making it much easier for people to travel between the two. Grand Central Station Grand Central Station was a train station located in Midtown Manhattan. Its history dates back to the mid-19th century. By the turn of the 20th century, Grand Central Station was outdated and could no longer handle the growing number of travelers and trains. In 1978, it was designated (指定为)a National Historic Landmark. Now, it is a popular filming location for movies and TV shows and has been featured in numerous productions such as The Avengers, Men in Black, The God father and many more. The American Museum of Natural History (AMNH) The American Museum of Natural History is a world-famous natural history museum located on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. It was founded in 1869 and is one of the oldest and largest natural history museums in the world. Its permanent exhibits cover a wide range of topics exploring the natural world and the universe. 1. How long did it take to build the Central Park? A. About 5 years. B. About 10 years. C. About 12 years. D. A bout 15 years. 2. Who designed Brooklyn Bridge? A. Calvert Vaux. B. John A．Roebling. C. Washington Roebling. D. Frederick Law Olmsted. 3. Which of the following appeared in the film The God father according to the text? A. Central Park. B. AMNH. C. Grand Central Station. D. Brooklyn Bridge. B Some of the classrooms at Taft Elementary in Santa Clara, California, have one disadvantage in common: They don’t have windows. That’s true for Logan Earnest’s fifth-grade classroom, and he felt it was affecting his students. “Most of the day,7/8 of the day, they’re inside,” Earnest said. “And they don’t really get to see any trees. They don’t get to see grass and the blue sky.” He said the white walls may affect the kids’ attention and even their attendance. Former school psychologist Ernesto Rodriguez said the lack of windows does affect kids, because research shows being in and around nature eases anxiety and has benefits for students. Rodriguez is no longer a practicing psychologist—but perhaps he knows now more than ever the impact nature has on mental health. He became a park ranger（护林员）on Southern California’s Catalina Island and began focusing on his passion, landscape photography. Rodriguez used his photography skills to take 360-degree shots of trees, and then he printed them and fit them onto the ceilings of the classrooms. So when students looked up, it felt like they were sitting under a tree. He revealed the picture to Earnest’s fifth-grade students. “Beautiful,” one student named Octavio said as he entered the classroom and saw the new addition. “It’s surprising and great to see that there are trees here.” Earnest said he thought there would be many positive effects on his students. “I think kids are going to want to come in here more frequently. And they are going to be happier,” he said. Rodriguez created a nonprofit called Nature in the Classroom and he’s put up the tree pictures in 10 schools so far. “This is a marriage of both my careers as a school psychologist and a photographer,” Rodriguez said. “And it is really motivating to be able to spend time out in nature creating imagery that I know is going to help people.” 4 What do the first two paragraphs try to tell us? A. Outdoor activities can improve students’ concentration. B. The learning environment in some schools is superior. C. Some students are unwilling to open windows at school. D. A classroom with windows is more beneficial to students. 5. What is Octavio’s attitude toward the tree picture on the ceiling? A. Positive. B. Doubtful. C. Unclear. D. Unconcerned. 6. What effect does Earnest expect the tree picture to have on his students? A. They will help each other. B. They will plant more trees. C. Their attendance will go up. D. They will love drawing. 7. What do we know about Rodriguez? A. He has set up seven schools. B. He was satisfied with what he did. C. He has been married for ten years. D. He created a profitable organization. C The voice Alexis Bogan had before last summer was dynamic. She loved to sing out songs in the car. In high school, she was a singer in the chorus. Then that voice was gone. Last August, doctors removed a life-threatening tumor (肿瘤) near the back of her brain. When the breathing tube came out a month later, Bogan had trouble saying “hi” to her parents. After several months, she recovered from the illness. However, her speech was still damaged. Friends, strangers and her own family members struggled to understand what she was trying to tell them. In April, the 21-year-old got her old voice back — not the real one, but a voice clone generated by artificial intelligence (AI). Trained on a 15-second time capsule of her teenage voice — sourced from a cooking demonstration video she recorded for a high school project — her synthetic (合成的) but remarkably real-sounding AI voice can now say almost anything she wants. She types a few words or sentences into her phone and the app instantly reads it aloud. Experts have warned that rapidly improving AI voice-cloning technology can increase phone crimes, disturb elections and hurt the dignity of people — living or dead — who never agreed to have their voice recreated to say things they never spoke. But Bogan and a team of doctors at Rhode Island’s Lifespan hospital group believe they’ve found a use that justifies the risks. Bogan is one of the first people who have been able to recreate a lost voice with OpenAI’s new Voice Engine. Some other AI providers, such as the startup ElevenLabs, have tested similar technology for people with speech barriers and loss — including a lawyer who now uses her voice clone in the courtroom. Jeff Harris, OpenAI’s lead on the product, said OpenAI’s next step involves developing a secure “voice authentication (认证)” tool so that users can copy only their own voice. “That might be limiting for a patient like Alexis, who had a sudden loss of her speech capabilities,” he said. “So we do think that we’ll need to have high-trust relationships, especially with medical providers, to give a little bit more unrestricted access to the technology.” 8. What is described about Alexis in paragraph 2? A. What she suffered. B. What she tried to tell others. C. How she developed the disease. D. How she performed in the chorus. 9. What can be learned about AI voice-cloning technology in paragraph 4? A. Experts speak highly of it. B. Improper use of it can cause harm. C. It helps to reduce phone crimes. D. It may protect the dignity of people. 10. What does the author want to indicate by mentioning “a lawyer” in the text? A. The rules on using AI. B. How the technology can help patients. C. The risks of cloning voices. D. What AI providers refuse to do. 11. What will OpenAI do next? A. Fund hospitals. B. Make a speech. C. Record more voices. D. Set a limit on its product. D In a groundbreaking discovery by Queen Mary scientists, bumblebees have been shown to possess a previously unseen level of cognitive complexity. The new study, published in Nature, reveals that these bees can learn complex, multi-step tasks through social interaction, even if they cannot figure them out on their own. Led by Dr Alice Bridges and Lars Chittka, Professor of Sensory and Behavioural Ecology at Queen Mary University of London, the research team designed a two-step puzzle box requiring bumblebees to perform two distinct actions in sequence (顺序) to access a sweet reward in the end. Training bees to do this was no easy task, and bees had to be helped along by the addition of an extra reward along the way. This reward was eventually taken away, and these demonstrator bees subsequently had to open the whole box before getting their treat. Dr Bridges emphasises the novelty of this study, “Other bees learned the whole sequence from social observation of these trained demonstrator bees, even without ever experiencing the first step’s reward. But when we let other bees attempt to open the box without a trained bee to demonstrate the solution, they didn’t manage to open any at all.” This study demonstrates that bumblebees possess a level of social learning previously thought to be exclusive to humans. They can share and acquire behaviours that are beyond their individual cognitive capabilities: an ability thought to form the expansive, complex nature of human culture. This research opens a new approach to understanding animal intelligence and the evolution (进化) of social learning. It challenges longstanding assumptions and paves the way for further exploration of the cognitive wonders hidden within the insect world, even suggesting the exciting possibility of cumulative (累积的) culture, the gradual accumulation of knowledge and skills over generations, among seemingly simple creatures. 12. How did researchers train the demonstrator bees? A. By teaching them to share sweets. B. By opening the box for them. C. By offering temporary rewards. D. By giving them easy tasks. 13. What does the underlined word “exclusive” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Unique. B. Dangerous. C. Useful. D. Unknown. 14. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. The finding of the study. B. The abilities of animals. C. The meaning of the study. D. The importance of social learning. 15. Which can be a suitable title for the text? A. The Origin of Human Cumulative Culture B. Bumblebees Master Complex Tasks on Their Own C. Social Interaction Is Critical for Mental Health D. Bumblebees Surprise Scientists with Social Learning Skills 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。 You might be wondering how you can avoid conflict, especially in the workplace, but the better question is: how can you manage it? Conflict is a natural part of life. ____16____, you’ll see it as an opportunity for change and better communication with others. Analyze the conflict. ____17____. Workplace conflicts can seem very complicated. But when in reality, there are typically one or two main causes. Think carefully about the situation to find out the central issues at the heart of the conflict. ____18____. Whether you’re directly involved in the conflict or in the middle of a conflict between other people, keep a cool head to ensure the situation doesn’t escalate (升级). If you’re feeling anxious, consider taking a step back before facing the problem. Conflicts are less likely to be solved reasonably when either side is flooded with emotions. Separate the person from the problem. Resolve conflict by focusing on the issue, not the person involved. View the problem as a specific incident or behavior instead of blaming the other person’s character as a whole. This makes the conflict feel less personal for both parties, and thus makes it easier to solve. It can also save your relationship with the other people. ____19____. Be an active listener. Active listening promotes positive, open and respectful communication. In social situations, it can be a powerful tool to ensure you understand what someone else is saying. ____20____.

If the cause of the conflict isn’t obvious E. Finding out the source of a conflict is the key to solving it F. Otherwise you might decide not to work with them anymore G.

Through the years, Sienna tried her best not to burden her mother. She rarely asked for anything besides what she truly needed and even took part-time jobs to help pay the bills. Every time she received a paycheck from her part-time job, she would save a part of it for one thing she had always dreamt about since she became a senior high student—her prom (毕业舞会)night. As she walked home from school every day, Sienna would pass by a clothes store. She had set her mind to get her dream prom dress from the store and even had drawings of the dress posted on her bedroom wall to motivate her to work hard. The dress Sienna wanted was worth $1500. Sienna would often talk about the dress to her classmate Emily. Emily and Sienna found common ground when they discovered their fathers had left their mothers when they were younger. They related to one another a lot and, since then, have been inseparable. Sienna often went to Emily’s house to do homework together, and Emily’s mother was very kind to her, cooking nice food for them although they were not rich. The morning before the senior prom, Sienna was able to save up enough money to buy the dress finally. Sienna and Emily decided to meet at the school gate to buy the dress together. Sienna was about to leave for school when Emily suddenly called her, crying, “I’m so sorry, Sienna, I know you’ve been looking forward to the prom, but I can’t make it today. My mom was just rushed to the hospital, and I was told she has a couple of days left before she needs to go through surgery. But I’m still $1500 short of her surgery. I have no idea what to do.” Sienna was in front of the mirror when she answered the call, and she had just imagined herself wearing the dress. Then, quickly, her focus shifted towards Emily, who was still crying on the other end of the line. “Don’t worry, Emily, we’ll figure out how to get money for your mom’s surgery, alright? Stay strong for her,” she assured Emily. 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。 After hanging up the phone, Sienna was lost in thought. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Emily and her mom were very grateful to Sienna. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 2023～2024学年度高二下学期期末联考试卷 英语 考生注意： 1. 本试卷分选择题和非选择题两部分。满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 2. 答题前，考生务必用直径0.5毫米黑色墨水签字笔将密封线内项目填写清楚。 3. 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。 4. 本卷命题范围：北师大版选择性必修第四册＋必修第一册Units　1～2。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 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。 1.

At the moment, Emily needed her support although it meant she would miss the prom and the dress she had been dreaming of. But life is more important than anything. Finally, Sienna rushed to be by Emily’s side at the hospital. She gave all her money to Emily so that she could contribute to her mom’s treatment. They stayed there for two days until Emily’s mom picked up. Emily and her mom were very grateful to Sienna. But they felt terrible that they had nothing to offer her in return. Sienna assured them that they didn’t need to pay her back. She told them, “You and Emily have been nothing but kind to me. We’re family, and families help each other out during difficult times.” After the surgery, Emily’s mom was able to make a full recovery. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
