The activity was held among all the high schools in our city. It began with the participants writing a letter, in which they made a self introduction and shared all the topics they were interested in. Then the letters were randomly sent to students in other schools. It’s not hard to imagine how excited we were when receiving a letter from a stranger. It was with this traditional method of communication that we made new friends to share our sorrow and happiness. All in all, not only did the activity promote mutual communications among students but also it relieved the pressure brought by intense study. 第二节 （满分25分） Under the burning sun, my mom was mom was distributing leaflets (分发传单) to passers-by, sweating all over (汗流涞背). Once a man or woman passed by, my mom would give a piece of paper to him or her. Someone refused by slightly waving his hand and someone just ignored her without looking at her. Of course, there was someone who accepted the paper from my mom but would then throw it into a garbage can not far away. Seeing the scene, I couldn’t help but feel guilty. Tears welling up in my eyes, I knew it’s so hard for mom to earn money. Then I continued making my way to the supermarket, and suddenly a good idea occurred to me. I bought a parasol/portable electric fan/bottle of sunscreen for mom instead of an album for myself. After that, I returned to the place where my mom worked. She mistook me for a passer-by and gave me a piece of paper. I took it and gave her the parasol/electric fan/bottle of sunscreen. Surprised to find out it was me, she mildly scolded me for my wasting money. I told her I bought it with the money I earned. She accepted it with a big smile on her face. It was then that I came to understand the value of money. 　 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司2 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024-2025学年高一必修第二册英语单元测试 Unit4·提升卷 学校:___________班级：___________姓名：___________分数：___________ （时间：120分钟，满分：150分） 注意事项： 1. 答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2. 回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上，写在本试卷上无效。 3. 考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分 30 分） 做题时，请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。 1.Where does the man suggest going this afternoon?

I have never seen her angry at anything and never heard her say a harsh (苛刻的) word to anyone or about anyone. Happy and her husband Ben, 70, have a huge garden. They spent many happy hours together working on it. Most of the neighbors watched interestingly as Ben doubled the size of their garden. As the cost of food climbed faster than Ben’s beans, we all wished we also had such a large garden. As the rest of us spent our dollars at the market, Happy could be seen picking beans in her back yard. Last month, Happy and Ben invited most of the neighborhood over for an “all-day food festival”. We were told to bring gloves and arrive very early in the morning. We didn’t know what was about to take place. By 9:00 am, there were nine of us in the garden picking tomatoes, beans, okra (秋葵), and squash. By 10:00 am, there was lots of laughter. We shared a lot of stories. By five o’clock, everyone was a little drunk from the wine and beer. After dinner, we played games. As we were leaving, Happy and Ben handed each of us a shopping bag filled with the bounty of the day, already packaged and frozen. What a delightful gift! Well, the point wasn’t so much about the food. The true gift was a day of friends enjoying one another’s company. None of it would have happened if it had been for Happy and Ben’s garden. Now they have a blog about gardening in case we decided to plant a garden. And I am so proud of my tomato plants! 24．According to paragraph 2, people wished they also had a garden so that ________. A．they could spend happy times together with their family in it B．they could grow vegetables and sell at the market C．they could invite their neighbors and hold parties in it D．they didn’t have to spend so much money on food 25．Which of the following is the same as the underlined word “bounty”? A．Present. B．Kindness. C．Laughter. D．Happiness. 26．For what purpose did Happy and Ben invite the neighbors to their garden? A．To ask them to attend a birthday party. B．To help them get to know each other. C．To let them enjoy what they grew in the garden. D．To ask them to share some interesting stories. 27．We can infer that ____________. A．Happy and her husband Ben don’t like spending time with others B．Happy and her husband Ben sometimes quarrel with each other C．Happy and her husband Ben are a generous and warm-hearted couple D．Happy and her husband Ben live on the food they grow in their garden 【答案】22．D 23．A 24．C 25．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者的一个邻居Happy和她丈夫Ben拥有一个大花园，他们邀请邻居们一起享受花园里的农作物，度过了一个愉快的一天，展现了他们的慷慨和热心。 22．细节理解题。根据第二段中“As the cost of food climbed faster than Ben’s beans, we all wished we also had such a large garden. As the rest of us spent our dollars at the market, Happy could be seen picking beans in her back yard. (随着食品价格上涨的速度超过了Ben种的豆子的生长速度，我们都希望我们也有一个这么大的花园。当我们在市场上花钱的时候，可以看到Happy在她后院摘豆子)”可知，人们希望有一个大花园是为了不用在食物上花太多钱。故选D项。 23．词句猜测题。根据第四段中“By 9:00 am, there were nine of us in the garden picking tomatoes, beans, okra (秋葵), and squash.(上午9点，我们9个人在花园里采摘西红柿、豆子、秋葵和南瓜)”可知，他们之前在花园里采摘了农作物。结合划线词所在句“As we were leaving, Happy and Ben handed each of us a shopping bag filled with the bounty of the day, already packaged and frozen. (当我们离开时，Happy和Ben给了我们每个人一个购物袋，里面装满了当天的bounty，已经包装好并冷冻了)”中“a shopping bag”和“already packaged and frozen”可推知，购物袋里装的是他们当天从花园里收获的农作物，作为“礼物”送给作者一行，所以bounty与present同义。故选A项。 24．推理判断题。根据第四段中“By 9:00 am, there were nine of us in the garden picking tomatoes, beans, okra (秋葵), and squash. (到上午9点，我们九个人在花园里摘西红柿、豆子、秋葵和南瓜)”和“As we were leaving, Happy and Ben handed each of us a shopping bag filled with the bounty of the day, already packaged and frozen. (当我们离开时，Happy和Ben给了我们每个人一个购物袋，里面装满了当天收获的农作物，已经包装好并冷冻了)”以及最后一段中“The true gift was a day of friends enjoying one another’s company. None of it would have happened if it had been for Happy and Ben’s garden. (真正的礼物是朋友们在一起享受彼此的陪伴的一天。如果没有Happy和Ben的花园，这一切都不会发生)”可推知，Happy和Ben邀请邻居们到他们的花园是为了让他们享用花园里种植的农作物。故选C项。 25．推理判断题。根据第一段中“I have never seen her angry at anything and never heard her say a harsh (苛刻的) word to anyone or about anyone. (我从未见过她对任何事情生气，也从未听过她对任何人或关于任何人说苛刻的话)”和最后一段中“The true gift was a day of friends enjoying one another’s company. None of it would have happened if it had been for Happy and Ben’s garden. (真正的礼物是朋友们在一起享受彼此的陪伴的一天。如果没有Happy和Ben的花园，这一切都不会发生)”以及他们邀请邻居们到花园享受农作物并送给他们作为礼物可知，Happy和她的丈夫Ben是一对慷慨和热心的夫妇。故选C项。 C In a high-tech lab on John's Hopkins University's Homewood campus in Maryland，engineers have been building a robot that may be able to stitch (缝针) back together the broken tissues in your stomach and even your brain，no doctor needed. The robot has a high-tech camera on one arm and a high-tech sewing machine on a second arm.The goal is to develop，in the next several years，a robot that makes the delicate work more consistent. The robot，known as Smart Tissue Autonomous Robot，or STAR，which is run by a highly advanced computer program，will advance technology currently in wide use in operating rooms.The robot completes about a stitch a minute，slightly slower than a human surgeon.But the tests so far have shown more consistency than what the humans can achieve. Long hours of traditional surgery can cause human hands to get tired and tremble，which may cause accidents during an operation.Robert Langer，an engineer，said the robotic arm could change the way surgeries are done.He has helped found dozens of biotech companies including Galen Robotics.The robotic arm being developed by Hopkins engineers is this company's product. Galen CEO Bruce Lichorowic compared the robotic arm to future for surgeons，saying it increases their stability，reduces tiredness and prevents cramps (抽筋) during long surgeries，all of which lead to safer surgeries. Galen Robotics has its roots in research from Johns Hopkins University，but the company had been based in Silicon Valley until 2019.“The company currently employs about 40 people，about half of whom have advanced degrees from Johns Hopkins，” said Lichorowic，adding that the company plans to grow to 60 positions by the end of the year. Galen's robotic arm is not for sale yet，but Lichorowic said the company expects to submit an application to the U．S.Food and Drug Administration (FDA) later this year. 28．What can STAR do？(　　) A．Shorten operation time. B．Replace human surgeons. C．Make operations smooth. D．Advance medical studies. 29．What does Lichorowic think of STAR？(　　) A．Flexible. B．High-cost. C．Promising. D．Unpredictable. 30．What can we know about Galen Robotics？(　　) A．It is sponsored by John's Hopkins University. B．It still has its base in Silicon Valley now. C．Its robot arm will be released later this year. D．It is scheduled to expand within this year. 31．In which column is this text most likely to appear？(　　) A．Mind & Brain. B．Health & Technology. C．Business & Investment. D．Physics & Medicine. 【答案】28．C 29．C 30．D 31．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了马里兰州约翰霍普金斯大学霍姆伍德校区的一个高科技实验室里正在研制智能组织自主机器人(STAR)，尽管动作比人类外科医生慢，但是可以使手术更顺畅。 28.细节理解题。根据第三段内容可知，STAR尽管缝针速度不如人类外科医生，但是缝合动作的连贯性比人类医生好，可以使手术更顺畅。故选C项。 29.推理判断题。根据第五段内容可知，Lichorowic把机械臂比作外科医生的未来，有着诸多的优点。由此可推知，他认为这种机械臂有前途。故选C项。 30.细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“‘The company currently employs about 40 people，about half of whom have advanced degrees from Johns Hopkins，’ said Lichorowic，adding that the company plans to grow to 60 positions by the end of the year.”可知，公司要在年内扩大规模，增加工作岗位。故选D项。 31.文章出处题。通读全文，尤其根据第一段内容可知，本文介绍一个能进去人体内帮助缝补组织的智能组织自主机器人。由此推知，本文最有可能出现在“健康与科技(Health & Technology)”专栏。故选B项。 D Cerebral palsy(脑瘫)is the most common motor disability in children.The condition，which affects about 1 in 345 children，can make daily activities like walking，eating，or even lifting a cup difficult.A team of researchers from the University of California，Riverside (UCR) hopes to reduce the daily struggles with robotic clothing that will allow kids with cerebral palsy to better control their arm movements. Wearable robotic units to help people with mobility issues have been around for many years.However，they are rigid and uncomfortable to wear.The UCR team plans to use light-weight materials to create a robotic sleeve that is cheap，durable，and，most importantly，comfortable to wear on a daily basis. “Hard materials don't interact well with humans，” said Jonathan Realmuto，UCR assistant professor of mechanical engineering and project lead.“What we're going for by using materials like nylon and elastic are essentially robotic clothing.” The scientists envision the robotic sleeves to have sealed areas that can be inflated.When filled with air，they would become temporarily rigid and provide the force needed for movement.The clothing will be fitted with sensors to detect small muscle contractions and anticipate what the wearer wants to do.The inflated bladders(气囊)will then help move the arm to complete the intended action. “If we can help kids brush their own teeth，pour water or open doors，actions that others take for granted，it's a huge win for them，” Realmuto said.“And it's also a huge win for their families and caretakers.” The UCR engineers are not the only ones working on soft robotic clothing to help those with motor disabilities.San Francisco-based startup CIONIC is on a similar mission.The company's first product，the CIONIC Neural Sleeve，is designed to improve mobility for people with conditions like cerebral palsy，multiple sclerosis，and stroke.Jeremiah Robison，the founder of CIONIC，was inspired to develop the product after seeing his daughter struggle with cerebral palsy. 32．What is the disadvantage of previous robotic clothing？(　　) A．They are uncomfortable to wear. B．They are not easy to carry around. C．They aren't environmentally friendly. D．They aren't affordable for most families. 33．What improvement is being made to the existing robotic clothing？(　　) A．Easy operation. B．Adjustable design. C．Soft material. D．Simple structure. 34．What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about？(　　) A．Why bladders are needed in the new unit. B．How the improved robotic clothing works. C．What material is used in the robotic sleeves. D．What difficulty cerebral palsy patients have. 35．What can we infer from the last paragraph？(　　) A．The UCR is teaming up with the CIONIC. B．Soft robotic clothing is an emerging industry. C．The CIONIC Neural Sleeve is quite popular. D．Robison made robotic clothing for his family first. 【答案】32．A 33．C 34．B 35．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了脑瘫是儿童中常见的运动障碍性疾病，它会使走路、进食、举杯子等日常活动变得困难。加州大学的研究人员正在研究一种软质机器人服装，使脑瘫儿童能够更好地控制他们的手臂运动。 32． 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Wearable robotic units to help people with mobility issues have been around for many years.However，they are rigid and uncomfortable to wear.”可知，以前的机器人服装穿起来不舒服。故选A项。 33． 细节理解题。根据第三段中“What we're going for by using materials like nylon and elastic are essentially robotic clothing.”可知，UCR研究团队正在使用尼龙和弹性材料来改进机器人服装的柔软度和舒适度。故选C项。 34．段落大意题。根据第四段内容可知，科学家们设想，机器人袖子上有可以充气的密封区域。当充满空气时，它们会暂时变得坚硬，并提供运动所需的力量。这种衣服将配备传感器来检测肌肉的微小收缩，并预测穿着者想要做什么。充气的气囊将帮助移动手臂来完成预定的动作。由此可知，本段主要介绍了改进的机器人服装是如何工作的。故选B项。 35．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Jeremiah Robison，the founder of CIONIC，was inspired to develop the product after seeing his daughter struggle with cerebral palsy.”可知，从最后一段我们能推断出罗宾逊首先为他的家人制作了机器人服装。故选D项。 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 Avoid an Internet Addiction It may seem like everyone surfs the web these days.

The activity was held among all the high schools in our city. It began with the participants writing a letter, in which they made a self introduction and shared all the topics they were interested in. Then the letters were randomly sent to students in other schools. It’s not hard to imagine how excited we were when receiving a letter from a stranger. It was with this traditional method of communication that we made new friends to share our sorrow and happiness. All in all, not only did the activity promote mutual communications among students but also it relieved the pressure brought by intense study. 第二节（满分25分） 阅读下面材料：根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 Everyone’s first job is special, because you gain useful experience that you can use in other positions in future. It also teaches you about the value of money. When I was about sixteen years old, I wanted to buy my favourite music album (音乐专辑), but I did not have any money. This was because the money my parents gave me was just enough to get by. I had to find a part-time job in order to buy the music I wanted. Luckily, I found that there were many old people who needed help in my neighbourhood. And I chose the oldest person I knew, Mrs. Hudson, who was over eighty years old, and could not tend her garden anymore. She had flowers, a grass lawn, and some tomato plants. I knocked on her door, trying to build up enough courage to ask her for work. She answered that indeed she needed help in her garden. My first job was to pull out weeds. I got down on my knees and began to pull them out one by one in her front yard and backyard. Finishing this tiring and boring task, I mowed (修剪) her lawn front and back. That was the first day of my job, and it took me about two hours. After that, I was paid ten dollars for my work. It was less than I thought, but at least I had earned my first money. After getting that ten dollars, I intended to go to the supermarket to buy my favourite album. Although it was very hot in the street and many people were holding parasols (遮阳伞), my inner joy defeated the high temperature, because I knew it would be a memorable moment when I was able to buy what I liked through my efforts. But on the way to supermarket, I happened to see my mom “working” on the opposite side of the road. Actually, I had never seen how she worked before, I just knew she was a saleswoman. 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。 Under the burning sun, my mom was distributing leaflets (分发传单) to passers-by, sweating all over (汗流浃背). ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Then I continued making my way to the supermarket, and suddenly a good idea occurred to me. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【范文】 Under the burning sun, my mom was mom was distributing leaflets (分发传单) to passers-by, sweating all over (汗流涞背). Once a man or woman passed by, my mom would give a piece of paper to him or her. Someone refused by slightly waving his hand and someone just ignored her without looking at her. Of course, there was someone who accepted the paper from my mom but would then throw it into a garbage can not far away. Seeing the scene, I couldn’t help but feel guilty. Tears welling up in my eyes, I knew it’s so hard for mom to earn money. Then I continued making my way to the supermarket, and suddenly a good idea occurred to me. I bought a parasol/portable electric fan/bottle of sunscreen for mom instead of an album for myself. After that, I returned to the place where my mom worked. She mistook me for a passer-by and gave me a piece of paper. I took it and gave her the parasol/electric fan/bottle of sunscreen. Surprised to find out it was me, she mildly scolded me for my wasting money. I told her I bought it with the money I earned. She accepted it with a big smile on her face. It was then that I came to understand the value of money. 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司22 / 23 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$………………○………………外………………○………………装………………○………………订………………○………………线………………○……………… ………………○………………内………………○………………装………………○………………订………………○………………线………………○……………… 此卷只装订不密封 ………………○………………内………………○………………装………………○………………订………………○………………线………………○……………… ………………○………………外………………○………………装………………○………………订………………○………………线………………○……………… … 学校：______________姓名：_____________班级：_______________考号：______________________ 2024-2025学年高一必修第二册英语单元测试卷 第四单元·提升卷 学校:___________班级：___________姓名：___________分数：___________ （时间：120分钟，满分：150分） 注意事项： 1. 答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2. 回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上，写在本试卷上无效。 3. 考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 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1.5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.

I have never seen her angry at anything and never heard her say a harsh (苛刻的) word to anyone or about anyone. Happy and her husband Ben, 70, have a huge garden. They spent many happy hours together working on it. Most of the neighbors watched interestingly as Ben doubled the size of their garden. As the cost of food climbed faster than Ben’s beans, we all wished we also had such a large garden. As the rest of us spent our dollars at the market, Happy could be seen picking beans in her back yard. Last month, Happy and Ben invited most of the neighborhood over for an “all-day food festival”. We were told to bring gloves and arrive very early in the morning. We didn’t know what was about to take place. By 9:00 am, there were nine of us in the garden picking tomatoes, beans, okra (秋葵), and squash. By 10:00 am, there was lots of laughter. We shared a lot of stories. By five o’clock, everyone was a little drunk from the wine and beer. After dinner, we played games. As we were leaving, Happy and Ben handed each of us a shopping bag filled with the bounty of the day, already packaged and frozen. What a delightful gift! Well, the point wasn’t so much about the food. The true gift was a day of friends enjoying one another’s company. None of it would have happened if it had been for Happy and Ben’s garden. Now they have a blog about gardening in case we decided to plant a garden. And I am so proud of my tomato plants! 24．According to paragraph 2, people wished they also had a garden so that ________. A．they could spend happy times together with their family in it B．they could grow vegetables and sell at the market C．they could invite their neighbors and hold parties in it D．they didn’t have to spend so much money on food 25．Which of the following is the same as the underlined word “bounty”? A．Present. B．Kindness. C．Laughter. D．Happiness. 26．For what purpose did Happy and Ben invite the neighbors to their garden? A．To ask them to attend a birthday party. B．To help them get to know each other. C．To let them enjoy what they grew in the garden. D．To ask them to share some interesting stories. 27．We can infer that ____________. A．Happy and her husband Ben don’t like spending time with others B．Happy and her husband Ben sometimes quarrel with each other C．Happy and her husband Ben are a generous and warm-hearted couple D．Happy and her husband Ben live on the food they grow in their garden C In a high-tech lab on John's Hopkins University's Homewood campus in Maryland，engineers have been building a robot that may be able to stitch (缝针) back together the broken tissues in your stomach and even your brain，no doctor needed. The robot has a high-tech camera on one arm and a high-tech sewing machine on a second arm.The goal is to develop，in the next several years，a robot that makes the delicate work more consistent. The robot，known as Smart Tissue Autonomous Robot，or STAR，which is run by a highly advanced computer program，will advance technology currently in wide use in operating rooms.The robot completes about a stitch a minute，slightly slower than a human surgeon.But the tests so far have shown more consistency than what the humans can achieve. Long hours of traditional surgery can cause human hands to get tired and tremble，which may cause accidents during an operation.Robert Langer，an engineer，said the robotic arm could change the way surgeries are done.He has helped found dozens of biotech companies including Galen Robotics.The robotic arm being developed by Hopkins engineers is this company's product. Galen CEO Bruce Lichorowic compared the robotic arm to future for surgeons，saying it increases their stability，reduces tiredness and prevents cramps (抽筋) during long surgeries，all of which lead to safer surgeries. Galen Robotics has its roots in research from Johns Hopkins University，but the company had been based in Silicon Valley until 2019.“The company currently employs about 40 people，about half of whom have advanced degrees from Johns Hopkins，” said Lichorowic，adding that the company plans to grow to 60 positions by the end of the year. Galen's robotic arm is not for sale yet，but Lichorowic said the company expects to submit an application to the U．S.Food and Drug Administration (FDA) later this year. 28．What can STAR do？(　　) A．Shorten operation time. B．Replace human surgeons. C．Make operations smooth. D．Advance medical studies. 29．What does Lichorowic think of STAR？(　　) A．Flexible. B．High-cost. C．Promising. D．Unpredictable. 30．What can we know about Galen Robotics？(　　) A．It is sponsored by John's Hopkins University. B．It still has its base in Silicon Valley now. C．Its robot arm will be released later this year. D．It is scheduled to expand within this year. 31．In which column is this text most likely to appear？(　　) A．Mind & Brain. B．Health & Technology. C．Business & Investment. D．Physics & Medicine. D Cerebral palsy(脑瘫)is the most common motor disability in children.The condition，which affects about 1 in 345 children，can make daily activities like walking，eating，or even lifting a cup difficult.A team of researchers from the University of California，Riverside (UCR) hopes to reduce the daily struggles with robotic clothing that will allow kids with cerebral palsy to better control their arm movements. Wearable robotic units to help people with mobility issues have been around for many years.However，they are rigid and uncomfortable to wear.The UCR team plans to use light-weight materials to create a robotic sleeve that is cheap，durable，and，most importantly，comfortable to wear on a daily basis. “Hard materials don't interact well with humans，” said Jonathan Realmuto，UCR assistant professor of mechanical engineering and project lead.“What we're going for by using materials like nylon and elastic are essentially robotic clothing.” The scientists envision the robotic sleeves to have sealed areas that can be inflated.When filled with air，they would become temporarily rigid and provide the force needed for movement.The clothing will be fitted with sensors to detect small muscle contractions and anticipate what the wearer wants to do.The inflated bladders(气囊)will then help move the arm to complete the intended action. “If we can help kids brush their own teeth，pour water or open doors，actions that others take for granted，it's a huge win for them，” Realmuto said.“And it's also a huge win for their families and caretakers.” The UCR engineers are not the only ones working on soft robotic clothing to help those with motor disabilities.San Francisco-based startup CIONIC is on a similar mission.The company's first product，the CIONIC Neural Sleeve，is designed to improve mobility for people with conditions like cerebral palsy，multiple sclerosis，and stroke.Jeremiah Robison，the founder of CIONIC，was inspired to develop the product after seeing his daughter struggle with cerebral palsy. 32．What is the disadvantage of previous robotic clothing？(　　) A．They are uncomfortable to wear. B．They are not easy to carry around. C．They aren't environmentally friendly. D．They aren't affordable for most families. 33．What improvement is being made to the existing robotic clothing？(　　) A．Easy operation. B．Adjustable design. C．Soft material. D．Simple structure. 34．What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about？(　　) A．Why bladders are needed in the new unit. B．How the improved robotic clothing works. C．What material is used in the robotic sleeves. D．What difficulty cerebral palsy patients have. 35．What can we infer from the last paragraph？(　　) A．The UCR is teaming up with the CIONIC. B．Soft robotic clothing is an emerging industry. C．The CIONIC Neural Sleeve is quite popular. D．Robison made robotic clothing for his family first. 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 Avoid an Internet Addiction It may seem like everyone surfs the web these days. But if you can’t have interest in other aspects of your life because of the Internet, you may be on your way to an Internet addiction. You might fear you’re the only one who has experienced that feeling. 36 Luckily, there are some ways to avoid living your life in front of the computer. 37 More and more people in the world are becoming addicted to the Internet, and you are not the only one with this problem. So do not be embarrassed. Just be brave to admit that you are on your way to an Internet addiction. And then find others with the same problem and help each other beat it. Set aside limited time for computer use. Make sure not to turn it on too many times a week. If you have a laptop, make sure to put it somewhere that you can remember but not somewhere that you see every day. Try keeping the lid closed when you are not using it. 38 If you have a desktop PC, try not to go near it or put something over it like a sheet. Call people instead of sending instant messages or texts. If you are free on weekends, call friends and ask them to go outside to do something you enjoy, like playing a sport. This will take your mind off the computer. 39 Use an alarm clock or timer (计时器). Before using your computer, decide on a time limit such as 30 minutes. Set the clock or timer and make sure that you get away from the computer when the time is up. Alternatively create a shutdown timer on your desktop. 40 A. Being addicted to it is quite normal. B. Admit you are at risk of an addiction. C. The truth, though, is that it’s quite common to be an addict. D. When the computer is not looking at you, you are less likely to use it. E. This can be programmed to shut down your computer after the set time. F. If you have a problem on weekdays, phone your friends or ask for help in person. G. This will prevent you from using the Internet so often or going on to another page. 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。 ChatGPT has been everywhere for the last few months. It raises 41 about their impact on everything happening in our society. ChatGPT is a natural language processing tool 42 by AI technology that allows you to have human-like 43 and much more. The language model can answer questions and 44 you with tasks, such as composing emails, essays, and code. The 45 to produce frequently accurate responses to a vast range of questions is why it became the fastest-growing app of all time, 46 100 million users in only two months. The fact that it can also 47 essays, articles, and poetry has only 48 its appeal. It is also equally 49 at coding and productivity tasks. For the former, its ability to 50 code from natural speech makes it a powerful partner for both new and 51 coders. Despite looking very impressive, ChatGPT still has 52 . Such restrictions include the inability to answer questions that are worded in a 53 way, as it requires rewording to understand the input question. A bigger limitation is a lack of quality in the 54 it delivers. Another major limitation is that its data is limited up to 2021. The chat robot does not have any 55 of events or news that have occurred since then. Lastly, ChatGPT does not provide sources for its responses. 41．A．requests B．concerns C．emotions D．doubts 42．A．driven B．followed C．inspired D．entertained 43．A．conflicts B．challenges C．interests D．conversations 44．A．manage B．control C．assist D．accompany 45．A．ability B．chance C．responsibility D．purpose 46．A．consulting B．reaching C．introducing D．counting 47．A．cause B．return C．exist D．generate 48．A．added to B．connected to C．devoted to D．owed to 49．A．determined B．equipped C．talented D．alarmed 50．A．save B．create C．choose D．describe 51．A．cautious B．untrained C．familiar D．experienced 52．A．limitations B．possibilities C．requirements D．advantages 53．A．right B．suitable C．specific D．natural 54．A．approaches B．responses C．contribution D．sensitivity 55．A．notice B．question C．feeling D．Awareness 第二节（共10小题：每小题1. 5分, 满分15分） 阅读下面短文, 在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 Beijing’s Forbidden City is a place full of wonders. From its thousands of rooms to its many beautiful artifacts, 56 is no wonder it is one of China’s most popular scenic 57 (spot). But even more than 600 years after 58 (build), it’s still managing to serve up surprises. The Forbidden City draws visitors because of its rich history and 59 (culture) significance, but perhaps it should add one more thing to its list of attractions: earthquake shelter. While most structures aren’t made 60 (survive)natural disasters, the Forbidden City seems to withstand anything. To show how strong the ancient Chinese architecture really is, 61 model of one of the Forbidden City’s palaces was put to the test. It survived a simulated(模拟的) earthquake of 9.5 on the Richter scale—equal to the 62 (large) ever recorded quake. Instead of falling apart, the model was just moved gently during the test. According to experts, the key 63 the Forbidden City’s strength, as well as other ancient Chinese structures, 64 (lie) in dougong(斗栱)—a centuries-old building method invented in China. Ancient Chinese craftsmen created structures 65 were both enduring and elegant, showing their advanced understanding of mathematics, architecture, materials, and structural science. 第四部分 写作（共两节, 满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 上周你参加了市团委 (City Youth League) 组织的校际“以信会友”交流活动。请为校英文报写篇报道，内容包括： 1.活动目的； 2.内容和意义。 注意： 1.词数80左右； 2.可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 Making Friends Through Letters ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第二节（满分25分） 67．阅读下面材料：根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 Everyone’s first job is special, because you gain useful experience that you can use in other positions in future. It also teaches you about the value of money. When I was about sixteen years old, I wanted to buy my favourite music album (音乐专辑), but I did not have any money. This was because the money my parents gave me was just enough to get by. I had to find a part-time job in order to buy the music I wanted. Luckily, I found that there were many old people who needed help in my neighbourhood. And I chose the oldest person I knew, Mrs. Hudson, who was over eighty years old, and could not tend her garden anymore. She had flowers, a grass lawn, and some tomato plants. I knocked on her door, trying to build up enough courage to ask her for work. She answered that indeed she needed help in her garden. My first job was to pull out weeds. I got down on my knees and began to pull them out one by one in her front yard and backyard. Finishing this tiring and boring task, I mowed (修剪) her lawn front and back. That was the first day of my job, and it took me about two hours. After that, I was paid ten dollars for my work. It was less than I thought, but at least I had earned my first money. After getting that ten dollars, I intended to go to the supermarket to buy my favourite album. Although it was very hot in the street and many people were holding parasols (遮阳伞), my inner joy defeated the high temperature, because I knew it would be a memorable moment when I was able to buy what I liked through my efforts. But on the way to supermarket, I happened to see my mom “working” on the opposite side of the road. Actually, I had never seen how she worked before, I just knew she was a saleswoman. 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。 Under the burning sun, my mom was distributing leaflets (分发传单) to passers-by, sweating all over (汗流浃背). ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Then I continued making my way to the supermarket, and suddenly a good idea occurred to me. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 试题 第3页（共8页） 试题 第4页（共8页） 试题 第5页（共8页） 试题 第6页（共8页） 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024-2025学年高一必修第二册英语单元测试 Unit4·提升卷 学校:___________班级：___________姓名：___________分数：___________ （时间：120分钟，满分：150分） 注意事项： 1. 答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2. 回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上，写在本试卷上无效。 3. 考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 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1.5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.

The robot has a high-tech camera on one arm and a high-tech sewing machine on a second arm.The goal is to develop，in the next several years，a robot that makes the delicate work more consistent. The robot，known as Smart Tissue Autonomous Robot，or STAR，which is run by a highly advanced computer program，will advance technology currently in wide use in operating rooms.The robot completes about a stitch a minute，slightly slower than a human surgeon.But the tests so far have shown more consistency than what the humans can achieve. Long hours of traditional surgery can cause human hands to get tired and tremble，which may cause accidents during an operation.Robert Langer，an engineer，said the robotic arm could change the way surgeries are done.He has helped found dozens of biotech companies including Galen Robotics.The robotic arm being developed by Hopkins engineers is this company's product. Galen CEO Bruce Lichorowic compared the robotic arm to future for surgeons，saying it increases their stability，reduces tiredness and prevents cramps (抽筋) during long surgeries，all of which lead to safer surgeries. Galen Robotics has its roots in research from Johns Hopkins University，but the company had been based in Silicon Valley until 2019.“The company currently employs about 40 people，about half of whom have advanced degrees from Johns Hopkins，” said Lichorowic，adding that the company plans to grow to 60 positions by the end of the year. Galen's robotic arm is not for sale yet，but Lichorowic said the company expects to submit an application to the U．S.Food and Drug Administration (FDA) later this year. 28．What can STAR do？(　　) A．Shorten operation time. B．Replace human surgeons. C．Make operations smooth. D．Advance medical studies. 29．What does Lichorowic think of STAR？(　　) A．Flexible. B．High-cost. C．Promising. D．Unpredictable. 30．What can we know about Galen Robotics？(　　) A．It is sponsored by John's Hopkins University. B．It still has its base in Silicon Valley now. C．Its robot arm will be released later this year. D．It is scheduled to expand within this year. 31．In which column is this text most likely to appear？(　　) A．Mind & Brain. B．Health & Technology. C．Business & Investment. D．Physics & Medicine. D Cerebral palsy(脑瘫)is the most common motor disability in children.The condition，which affects about 1 in 345 children，can make daily activities like walking，eating，or even lifting a cup difficult.A team of researchers from the University of California，Riverside (UCR) hopes to reduce the daily struggles with robotic clothing that will allow kids with cerebral palsy to better control their arm movements. Wearable robotic units to help people with mobility issues have been around for many years.However，they are rigid and uncomfortable to wear.The UCR team plans to use light-weight materials to create a robotic sleeve that is cheap，durable，and，most importantly，comfortable to wear on a daily basis. “Hard materials don't interact well with humans，” said Jonathan Realmuto，UCR assistant professor of mechanical engineering and project lead.“What we're going for by using materials like nylon and elastic are essentially robotic clothing.” The scientists envision the robotic sleeves to have sealed areas that can be inflated.When filled with air，they would become temporarily rigid and provide the force needed for movement.The clothing will be fitted with sensors to detect small muscle contractions and anticipate what the wearer wants to do.The inflated bladders(气囊)will then help move the arm to complete the intended action. “If we can help kids brush their own teeth，pour water or open doors，actions that others take for granted，it's a huge win for them，” Realmuto said.“And it's also a huge win for their families and caretakers.” The UCR engineers are not the only ones working on soft robotic clothing to help those with motor disabilities.San Francisco-based startup CIONIC is on a similar mission.The company's first product，the CIONIC Neural Sleeve，is designed to improve mobility for people with conditions like cerebral palsy，multiple sclerosis，and stroke.Jeremiah Robison，the founder of CIONIC，was inspired to develop the product after seeing his daughter struggle with cerebral palsy. 32．What is the disadvantage of previous robotic clothing？(　　) A．They are uncomfortable to wear. B．They are not easy to carry around. C．They aren't environmentally friendly. D．They aren't affordable for most families. 33．What improvement is being made to the existing robotic clothing？(　　) A．Easy operation. B．Adjustable design. C．Soft material. D．Simple structure. 34．What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about？(　　) A．Why bladders are needed in the new unit. B．How the improved robotic clothing works. C．What material is used in the robotic sleeves. D．What difficulty cerebral palsy patients have. 35．What can we infer from the last paragraph？(　　) A．The UCR is teaming up with the CIONIC. B．Soft robotic clothing is an emerging industry. C．The CIONIC Neural Sleeve is quite popular. D．Robison made robotic clothing for his family first. 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 Avoid an Internet Addiction It may seem like everyone surfs the web these days.

It raises 41 about their impact on everything happening in our society. ChatGPT is a natural language processing tool 42 by AI technology that allows you to have human-like 43 and much more. The language model can answer questions and 44 you with tasks, such as composing emails, essays, and code. The 45 to produce frequently accurate responses to a vast range of questions is why it became the fastest-growing app of all time, 46 100 million users in only two months. The fact that it can also 47 essays, articles, and poetry has only 48 its appeal. It is also equally 49 at coding and productivity tasks. For the former, its ability to 50 code from natural speech makes it a powerful partner for both new and 51 coders. Despite looking very impressive, ChatGPT still has 52 . Such restrictions include the inability to answer questions that are worded in a 53 way, as it requires rewording to understand the input question. A bigger limitation is a lack of quality in the 54 it delivers. Another major limitation is that its data is limited up to 2021. The chat robot does not have any 55 of events or news that have occurred since then.

From its thousands of rooms to its many beautiful artifacts, 56 is no wonder it is one of China’s most popular scenic 57 (spot). But even more than 600 years after 58 (build), it’s still managing to serve up surprises. The Forbidden City draws visitors because of its rich history and 59 (culture) significance, but perhaps it should add one more thing to its list of attractions: earthquake shelter. While most structures aren’t made 60 (survive)natural disasters, the Forbidden City seems to withstand anything. To show how strong the ancient Chinese architecture really is, 61 model of one of the Forbidden City’s palaces was put to the test. It survived a simulated(模拟的) earthquake of 9.5 on the Richter scale—equal to the 62 (large) ever recorded quake. Instead of falling apart, the model was just moved gently during the test. According to experts, the key 63 the Forbidden City’s strength, as well as other ancient Chinese structures, 64 (lie) in dougong(斗栱)—a centuries-old building method invented in China. Ancient Chinese craftsmen created structures 65 were both enduring and elegant, showing their advanced understanding of mathematics, architecture, materials, and structural science. 第四部分 写作（共两节, 满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 上周你参加了市团委 (City Youth League) 组织的校际“以信会友”交流活动。请为校英文报写篇报道，内容包括： 1.活动目的； 2.内容和意义。 注意： 1.词数80左右； 2.可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 Making Friends Through Letters ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第二节（满分25分） 67．阅读下面材料：根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 Everyone’s first job is special, because you gain useful experience that you can use in other positions in future. It also teaches you about the value of money. When I was about sixteen years old, I wanted to buy my favourite music album (音乐专辑), but I did not have any money. This was because the money my parents gave me was just enough to get by. I had to find a part-time job in order to buy the music I wanted. Luckily, I found that there were many old people who needed help in my neighbourhood. And I chose the oldest person I knew, Mrs. Hudson, who was over eighty years old, and could not tend her garden anymore. She had flowers, a grass lawn, and some tomato plants. I knocked on her door, trying to build up enough courage to ask her for work. She answered that indeed she needed help in her garden. My first job was to pull out weeds. I got down on my knees and began to pull them out one by one in her front yard and backyard. Finishing this tiring and boring task, I mowed (修剪) her lawn front and back. That was the first day of my job, and it took me about two hours. After that, I was paid ten dollars for my work. It was less than I thought, but at least I had earned my first money. After getting that ten dollars, I intended to go to the supermarket to buy my favourite album. Although it was very hot in the street and many people were holding parasols (遮阳伞), my inner joy defeated the high temperature, because I knew it would be a memorable moment when I was able to buy what I liked through my efforts. But on the way to supermarket, I happened to see my mom “working” on the opposite side of the road. Actually, I had never seen how she worked before, I just knew she was a saleswoman. 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。 Under the burning sun, my mom was distributing leaflets (分发传单) to passers-by, sweating all over (汗流浃背). ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Then I continued making my way to the supermarket, and suddenly a good idea occurred to me. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！1 4 / 12 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
