However, the sun cast Aaron’s image over me, reminding me that I would always be walking in his shadow if I couldn’t prove myself. Unwilling to quit at this crucial moment, I made quick adjustments. Exhausted as I was, I calmed myself down, gritted my teeth and strove to catch every ball. Then came the chance. The ball made contact with my racket and flew over Aaron’s head. Greatly astonished, he could do nothing but witness his undefeated status as reigning champion being erased by his younger brother. The whistle blew for the end of the match and I achieved the final victory. “I made it!” I yelled and jumped into the air, my face lit up with excitement. Meeting my joyful eyes, Aaron walked over, patted my shoulder and thumbed up at me, “Congratulations!” “Thank you!” I replied, a toothy smile spreading across my sweaty face. Just then a round of applause and cheers rang through the whole court, “Well done, Dallon!” Hearing my name echoing in the air, I knew that I’d proved myself by freeing myself from the title of “Aaron’s younger brother”. 评分原则: 1. 本题总分为25 分，按以下5个档次给分。 2. 评分时，先根据文章的内容和语言初步确定其所属档次，然后以该档次的要求来衡量，确定或调整档次，最后给分。 第一档：（1—5 分） 与段落开头衔接较差，产出内容太少，很少使用短文中标出的关键词语，全文内容不连贯； 第二档：（6—10 分）与所给短文有一定的关系，与段落开头有一定程度的衔接，写出了一些有关内容，应用了3个以上短文中标出的关键词语，较少使用语句间连接成分，全文内容缺少连贯性； 第三档：（11—15 分）与所给短文关系较为密切，与段落开头有一定程度的衔接, 写出了若干有关内容，应用了4个以上短文中标出的关键词语，应用简单的语句间连接成分，使全文内容连贯； 第四档：（16—20 分）与所给短文融洽度较高，与段落开头衔接较为合理，内容比较丰富，应用了5个以上短文中标出的关键词语，比较有效地使用了语句间连接成分，所续写短文结构紧凑； 第五档：（21—25 分）与所给短文融洽度高，与段落开头衔接合理，内容丰富，应用了5个以上短文中标出的关键词语，有效地使用了语句间连接成分，使所续写短文结构紧凑。 3. 词数少于120的，酌情扣分。 4. 评分时，应注意的主要内容为：与所给短文及段落开头语的衔接程度；内容的丰富性和对所标出关键词语的应用情况；应用语法结构和词汇的丰富性和准确性；上下文的连贯性。 5. 拼写与标点符号是语言准确性的一个方面，评分时，应视其对交际的影响程度予以考虑。英、美拼写及词汇用法均可接受。 6. 如书写较差以致影响交际，可将分数降低一个档次。 听力原文： Text 1 W: Excuse me, would you mind not talking on your phone during the movie? You are bothering the other people in the theater. M: Oh, I’m sorry. I’ll finish my call out in the hallway. W: Thank you very much. Text 2 W: Do you know anything about the arts festival in our city? M: Yes, the opening ceremony will be on May 5th. And it will start at 3 o’clock and finish at 6 o’clock. Text 3 W: Why didn’t you ask Eddie to come along? He’s fun. You know all of us like him. M: Yes. But don’t forget, no one can bear his non-stop smoking. Text 4 M: I’m really nervous about taking the SATs tomorrow. I’m not a very good test taker. W: Oh, you’ll do fine. You studied really hard. Besides, if you don’t do well, you can always take it again. M: I guess so, but that’s not what I’d like to happen. Text 5 W: Excuse me, can you tell me where Main Street is? M: Go straight for two blocks, then turn left. It’s about 1.5 kilometers. Text 6 W: Do you still have four flats with three bedrooms, Mr. White? M: No, madam. We only have one now, and it’s on the top floor. Shall we go and see it? W: Well, I don’t like climbing many stairs in case the power is cut. M: How many people are there in your family? W: Four, my husband and our two daughters. M: Then you can buy one with two bedrooms. There’re several of them available. You and your husband live in one bedroom and your daughters share the other. W: That sounds like a good idea. Show me one on the second floor, please. Text 7 W: Hey Kevin, anything new? M: Yeah, actually, I completed the paperwork yesterday to adopt the dog I fell in love with last week. I brought her home just this morning. W: Oh, that’s exciting. I would love to get a smart dog myself. M: Why don’t you? You’re a huge animal lover and the shelter is always looking for responsible pet owners. W: But my husband says dogs are dirty and he hates the idea of dog hair being all over the furniture. M: Oh, that’s too bad. W: We’ve talked about this for a while. I’ve actually been thinking about volunteering at the shelter on weekends. My husband supports that idea a lot more than having a dog in our house. M: That’s a great idea. W: I think I’m going to apply now, do you want to come along? M: Oh, sorry, I have to go to the pet shop to buy some pet supplies. W: In that case, let’s go together tomorrow. M: Sure. Text 8 W: Is there anything interesting in today’s newspaper? M: Yes. Researchers have recently published a new study about the source of honey. W: Flowers? I just know that without flowers, our food supply would be in trouble. M: Exactly. Now flowers can help humans in another way. Researchers say planting flowers may help people with mental health problems. W: Really? Can we call it “Flower Therapy”? M: Yes! In fact, the U.S. government once had a program that taught soldiers returning from the First World War how to plant flowers. W: I know many soldiers have trouble dealing with the experiences of war. M: The program is not a new thing. Other countries also have similar programs. W: I will plant some flowers in our yard. M: Put your chair out, bathe in the sunshine and watch the flowers as they bloom. It’s really relaxing, right? W: Yes! That is what I want. Text 9 W: It’s a pretty good conference, huh? M: Yeah. All speakers are well-known and knowledgeable in the subject matter. Did you listen to John Miller’s speech on how to avoid business risks this morning? W: No, I missed that one. I went to a speech at Alan Brown Hall. The speaker was David Thompson. M: Oh, that should be a good one, too. I attended his lecture last year. By the way, there will be a workshop this afternoon on how to motivate employees. Are you interested? W: Sure. I was promoted to the position of manager a few months ago. And I have to manage a staff of 12 people. It can be quite a difficult situation sometimes. That’s why I am here today. M: Same here. I only have seven people reporting to me. Yet, sometimes I feel like pulling my hair out. I need to find a way to create harmony within my department. Text 10 M: How would you use a radio or a telephone if you had no electricity or batteries? These problems bothered British inventor Trevor Baylis, so in 1996 he invented a wind-up radio. It doesn’t need electricity or batteries. You wind it up by hand. It plays for about an hour, then you wind it up again. Today, it’s produced in South Africa. Apart from that, Baylis invented a mobile telephone that is powered by shoes. The shoes contain a small battery that is powered when you walk. This battery is connected to a mobile phone. These two simple inventions can contribute a lot to the modern communications among all parts of the world. Baylis doesn’t have a university degree in engineering. In fact he left high school before graduating. He just loves making things to help people. He never knows when the creative ideas will come to him. He got the idea for the radio while watching TV. The idea for the telephone came to him in a dream. ( 1 ) 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 1 2024 学年第二学期期末调研测试卷 高 二 英 语 （参考答案及评分标准） 第一部分：听力（每小题 1.5分，满分 30分） 1. A 2. B 3. C 4. B 5. C 6. A 7. B 8. A 9. B 10. C 11.

B Last year,my friend Alex made a decision that shocked everyone:He quit the school basketball team,even though he was one of the best players.For years,Alex had been "the basketball guy".It was how everyone saw him-his teammates,his teachers,even his family. But one day,he told me,"I don't know if I even like basketball anymore.I just feel like I'm supposed to play."His words stuck with me because they touched on something deeper:the struggle to figure out who we are,especially when everyone else seems to have already decided for us. Alex's story made me think about how much of our identity is shaped by others' expectations.From a young age,we're labeled-athlete,artist,nerd-and those labels can feel like cages.Psychologists call this "external identity",and while it can give us a sense of belonging,it can also make it hard to discover what we truly want.For Alex,quitting basketball wasn't just about leaving a team;it was about breaking away from a role that no longer fit him. But here's the controversial part:Is it always better to follow your own path, even if it means disappointing others?Some people argued that Alex was selfish,and that he owed it to his team to stay.Others,including me,admired his courage.After all,isn't adolescence the time to explore,to make mistakes,and to figure out who you are?But the truth is,it's not that simple.Letting go of an identity you've outgrown can be terrifying,especially when it feels like you're losing a part of you. What struck me most,though,was how Alex's journey mirrored a bigger question:How do we balance who we are with who others want us to be?Maybe the answer isn't about choosing one over the other but about finding a way to honor both.Alex didn't stop playing basketball entirely;he still shoots hoops with friends for fun.But now,he's also exploring photography, something he'd never had time for before.It's his way of saying,"I'm more than just one thing.” In the end,Alex's story reminded me that identity isn't fixed-it's a work in progress.And maybe that's okay.After all,isn't life about becoming,not just being? 24.Why did Alex quit the school basketball team? A.He felt pressured by others'expectations B.He was injured and could no longer play. C.He wanted to focus on his academic studies. D.He had a conflict with his teammates. 高二英语试题第4页（共11页) 25.What does the term"external identity"refer to in paragraph 2? A.The identity shaped by one's own choices. B.The identity influenced by others'expectations. C.The identity formed through personal achievements. D.The identity developed during childhood. 26.What is the controversial point discussed in the article? A.Whether quitting a team is a sign of weakness. B.Whether following one's own path is always the best choice. C.Whether teenagers should focus on academics over sports. D.Whether parents should influence their children's decisions. 27.What does Alex's exploration of photography symbolize? A.His desire to escape from reality. B.His rejection of all sports-related activities. C.His attempt to find a new identity. D.His need to prove himself to others. C Cortisol,widely recognized as the“stress hormone(激素)'，plays a key role in managing stress.The recent discussions in TikTok suggest a misinterpretation that cortisol imbalances are directly responsible for various health issues,from loose skin to sleep and digestive problems. "The relationship between cortisol and body symptoms is not straightforward."Experts like Martin Picard from Columbia University emphasizes. Our bodies release cortisol when we encounter a challenge,whether psychological or physical,real or imagined.Things like coming across a bear on a hike,receiving an annoying work email or delivering a public speech are the typical cases.Cortisol aids in energy supply and metabolism(新陈代谢)control.Its levels vary,peaking in the morning and reducing by night. However,long-term stress can disturb this balance,leading to sustained high cortisol levels. Potential disadvantages are weakened immune system and high blood sugar,as well as mental illnesses like depression and PTSD.In extreme cases,too much cortisol production may lead to Cushing's syndrome,characterized by serious physical changes and requiring medical treatment. Identifying cortisol-related issues requires professional evaluation,as self-assessment or at-home testing may not provide accurate results due to cortisol's dynamic nature.Experts suggest consulting healthcare professionals for a thorough check.While there's no one- size-fits-all solution for managing cortisol levels,research indicates that practices such as yoga, mindfulness,and moderate exercise can aid in regulating the body's stress response.These activities not only help in reducing stress but also in training the body to manage its stress 高二英语试题第5页（共11页） response more effectively over time. In conclusion,cortisol plays a key role in how our body handles stress and functions overall.However,saying that many health problems are just due to cortisol imbalances misses the complex interaction between hormones,stress and health.It's important to take a holistic approach to health,with professional guidance and personalized stress management strategies. 28.What can we learn about cortisol? A.It can directly cause sleep disorder. B.It won't influence physical health at all. C.It has nothing to do with stomach upset. D.It is misunderstood on social media. 29.What can be inferred from paragraph 4? A.Exercise guarantees cortisol decrease. B.Home testing of cortisol is not available. C.Multiple tests may be required to measure cortisol. D.Experts reject home activities in stress management 30.What does the underlined word"holistic"mean in the last paragraph? A.Medical. B.Physical. C.Immediate. D.Comprehensive 31.Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text? A.Cortisol:The Simple Truth About Stress Hormone B.Medical Treatments for Cortisol-Related Disorders C.How to Reduce Cortisol Levels Through Daily Exercises D.Cortisol's Complex Role in Stress and Health Issues D In an era where"digital detox"'has become a buzzword,people who call themselves digital minimalists proudly delete social apps,turn their phone screens to black-and-white,or switch to simple phones.Yet their fight against technology overload often creates a confusing cycle.To reduce screen time,they use apps like Forest to track their habits;to replace iPads,they buy $200 special black-and-white devices;and to learn about minimalism,they spend hours watching YouTube videos.Suprisingly,App Annie's 2023 report showed downloads of"digital wellness"apps jumped by 140%,proving that this movement against technology still deeply depends on it. This contradiction echoes historical patterns.In the 19th century,the British Arts and Crafts Movement fought against factory-made goods by praising handmade items.However, these handmade products became expensive luxuries only the rich could afford.Similarly, today's digital minimalism,while trying to resist distractions from apps and ads,has created a huge $8.7 billion industry selling"anti-tech"products.Examples include writing apps without ads,"smart'paper notebooks that need internet updates,and simple-looking gadgets.These products turn the idea of rebellion into something people can buy,like turning a protest sign into 高二英语试题第6页（共11页） a fashion accessory. The real problem is showing off simplicity.A 2024 Stanford study found that 62%of people who call themselves digital minimalists spend the same amount of time on their phones-they just switch from social media to "approved"apps like e-book readers or meditation tools.This is similar to Instagram photos of perfectly clean desks:the empty space looks simple,but behind it are complex phone settings and app algorithms. Maybe we need a new way of thinking.Scholar Andrew Hui suggests treating technology like water-using it wisely without wasting or nervously measuring every drop.Writer Jenny Odell,in her book How to Do Nothing,argues that real freedom isn't about running away from the digital world but finding balance within it.This could mean allowing small,joyful moments in our digital lives:a funny cat video popping up during work,or understanding that a family member's repeated health posts in a chat group are really about showing love.When we stop judging every tech choice as"good"or "bad"and focus on meaningful connections,we might finally feel free in the digital age. 32.What is the main outcome of digital minimalists'efforts? A.They successfully reduce screen time through strict rules. B.They depend more on technology to achieve their goals. C.They inspire others to join the digital detox movement. D.They completely abandon modern devices like iPads. 33.Why is the 19th-century Arts and Crafts Movement mentioned? A.To show anti-tech trends are not new in history. B.To criticize the high cost of handmade products C.To prove that older generations valued simplicity more. D.To compare traditional crafts with modern digital tools. 34.What does the Stanford study reveal about digital minimalists? A.They prefer meditation apps to entertainment. B.Their phone settings are simpler than non-minimalists'. C.They spend less time on social media than average users. D.Their total screen time remains unchanged despite efforts. 35.What solution does the author support for balancing digital life? A.Strictly avoiding all non-work-related technology. B.Labeling technology as either"good"or"bad." C.Embracing small digital joys without guilt D.Returning to pre-industrial lifestyles. 第二节（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。 高二英语试题第7页（共11页) Community service is more than a college application requirement-it's a transformative experience that shapes character and offers real-world learning.36 Yet many students approach it hesitantly,unsure how to make a meaningful impact or seeing it as an uninteresting obligation.This hesitation often comes from not knowing how to match their interests with service opportunities. The key is finding a project that fits both personal interests and community needs.For example,a group of high students noticed the lack of green spaces in their urban neighborhood, realizing a change was a must.37 They researched local gardening methods,sought neighbors'support,and spent countless weekends turning an abandoned lot into a lively community garden with flowers and vegetable patches. Successful community service usually involves teamwork.38 By collaborating with local non-profits,schools,and businesses,students access what they couldn't get alone.A team aiming to improve literacy in underprivileged areas partnered with a local library.The library provided books,while the students designed engaging reading programs for different age groups Overcoming obstacles during community service is an unavoidable part in the process. 39 The students faced challenges like getting permits,handling limited funds,and persuading hesitant neighbors.These difficulties taught them problem-solving,patience,and communication.Similarly,those in the literacy project learned to adjust their teaching based on feedback. 40 Many students find hidden talents,like leadership or public speaking,as they take on roles in service projects.Helping others not only enriches the community but also brings a stronger sense of purpose and a deeper understanding of social issues. A.Creating the community garden wasn't easy. B.Community service also offers self-discovery. C.They decided to act and started a project to change things D.Joint efforts bring together resources and create greater impacts. E.It's a chance to leave comfort zones and develop valuable life skills. F.This realization motivates them to take on more ambitious projects later. G.Cooperation in community service builds strong relationships and helps future projects. 第三部分语言运用（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，并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。 I used to believe talent was everything until I met Ms.Carter in ninth grade.She taught art, and her classroom walls were covered with students'paintings-some messy,some 41, but all uniquely expressive.

In my daily life,I take small steps to reduce my plastic 61(consume).For example,I bring my own water bottle to avoid 62 need for disposable cups when buying coffee or tea.I also use reusable 63(shop)bags and bring my own containers for takeout whenever possible.It takes time to get used to these eco-friendly habits,but I 64 (integrate)them into my routine so far.Although these actions may seem minor,I believe that adopting such practices can help reduce one's plastic footprint and contribute 65 a healthier planet. 第四部分：写作（共两节；满分40分） 第一节应用文写作（满分15分） 假定你是李华，你校将举办“传统与创新(Tradition and Innovation)”主题艺术展。 请给你校的英国交换生Cis写一封邮件邀请他参观，内容包括： 1.展览信息： 2.询问意向。 注意： 1.词数80左右： 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Dear Chris, Yours, Li Hua 高二英语试题第10页（共11页)
