The area of beach I went to is famous among surfers for its powerful waves and popularity with sharks. After a while my brother and some of my friends got out of the water because they felt uneasy. There was the smell of fish in the air, which can attract sharks. A few of us stayed. Finally, I saw my first big wave, but as I was about to hit it, two great white sharks attacked me. It happened so quickly. One shark hit me, throwing me into the air; a second later, it dragged me under the water. The shock stopped me from feeling pain. Under the water, another shark went for my head and shoulders but missed. Perhaps surprised by the competition, the first shark lost its grip (控制) on me and the next thing I knew was that I was staring a shark straight in the face. It stared back at me for a few moments. Its mouth was wide open; I could see huge teeth and dark black eyes. After it passed, I swam to the surface as fast as I could. When surfing, there is always the fear in the back of your mind of sharks. Now it was real. I was shaking, crying and panicking, realizing that I could die. I tried all my hardest to swim back to the shore. Eventually, I made it to dry land. I felt relief. Someone tied my arm to slow the bleeding and my brother rushed me to the hospital. The surgeon managed to save my fingers. That day changed my life, but it hasn’t stopped me from surfing. I started a surfing school to teach the sport to others. I was more afraid of sharks before my attack. Now I know what it means to be alive. 4. Why do sharks like appearing at the surfing beach? A. There are powerful waves in winter. B. The beach is their natural habitat. C. The smell of fish attracts them. D. The beach is crowded with surfers. 5. How did the author narrowly escape to dry land? A. By swimming as fast as possible. B.

They did it using videos shot by some sea animals. The work should help protect the sea grass, and also shows off a creative way to explore the ocean. Sea grasses are flowering plants that normally grow in shallow waters near coasts. They grow in thick fields, known as meadows. Sea grass meadows help clean the ocean water, and provide food and home for many sea creatures. Importantly, sea grass meadows also help in the fight against the climate problems. That’s because they store a great deal of carbon — the harmful pollution that’s making global warming worse. Damaging (破坏) these sea grass meadows can release this pollution again, so it’s important to protect them. However, the ocean is too huge for humans to study all by diving (潜水). A team of scientists decided to have tiger sharks help with the research because tiger sharks live underwater, swim fast and spend a lot of time in sea grass meadows. The researchers attached cameras and other trackers to seven tiger sharks. After catching the sharks, the scientists worked quickly to attach the equipment, then let them go again. The cameras were designed to fall off after a few hours and float (漂浮) to the surface. Tracking signals helped the scientists find the floating cameras and collect the videos the sharks had taken over the sea floor. Putting all the data together, the scientists learned that the waters around the Bahamas are home to the largest sea grass meadow ever discovered. The project is important for several reasons. Since sea grass is so valuable in fighting global warming, it’s important to know where it is. Oliver Shipley, a leading scientist, says, “If we don’t know where it is, we can’t protect it.” The program also shows how useful large sea animals can be in helping to learn more about life under the sea. Shipley says animals like tiger sharks “… are going to take us to new places that we didn’t know.” 8. What helped the scientists discover the largest ever field of sea grass? A. Ships working underwater. B. Videos taken by tiger sharks. C. Images shot from passing planes. D. Exploration of professional divers. 9. What does the underlined word “release” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Let out. B. Cut down. C. Clear away. D. Wind up. 10. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about? A. The ways of following large sea animals. B. The steps of fixing cameras to the tiger sharks. C. The unique functions of the signal-tracking equipment. D. The process of finding the world’s largest known sea grass meadow. 11. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A. Sea grass is of high value in research and business. B. Humans have benefited from pollution-free oceans. C. Scientists have solved the climate problems effectively. D. Ocean animals can help uncover more secrets of nature. 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. D 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了虎鲨拍摄的视频帮助科学家们发现了有史以来最大的海草地，文章解释了海草地的作用以及重要性。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Putting all the data together, the scientists learned that the waters around the Bahamas are home to the largest sea grass meadow ever discovered. (把所有的数据放在一起，科学家们了解到巴哈马群岛周围的水域是迄今为止发现的最大的海草草地的所在地)”可知，虎鲨拍摄的视频帮助科学家们发现了有史以来最大的海草地。故选B。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段“Importantly, sea grass meadows also help in the fight against the climate problems. That’s because they store a great deal of carbon — the harmful pollution that’s making global warming worse. (重要的是，海草草场也有助于对抗气候问题。这是因为它们储存了大量的碳——这种有害的污染正在加剧全球变暖)”以及划线词后文“this pollution again, so it’s important to protect them”可知，破坏这些海草草场会再次释放这种污染，所以保护它们很重要。故划线词意思是“释放”。故选A。 【10题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段“The researchers attached cameras and other trackers to seven tiger sharks. After catching the sharks, the scientists worked quickly to attach the equipment, then let them go again. The cameras were designed to fall off after a few hours and float (漂浮) to the surface. Tracking signals helped the scientists find the floating cameras and collect the videos the sharks had taken over the sea floor. Putting all the data together, the scientists learned that the waters around the Bahamas are home to the largest sea grass meadow ever discovered. (研究人员在七只虎鲨身上安装了摄像头和其他追踪器。捕捉到鲨鱼后，科学家们迅速安装了设备，然后又放了它们。这些相机被设计成在几个小时后脱落，漂浮到水面上。跟踪信号帮助科学家找到了漂浮的摄像机，并收集了鲨鱼占领海底的视频。把所有的数据放在一起，科学家们了解到巴哈马群岛周围的水域是迄今为止发现的最大的海草草地的所在地)”可知，第4段主要讲了寻找世界上已知的最大的海草草场的过程。故选D。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“The program also shows how useful large sea animals can be in helping to learn more about life under the sea. Shipley says animals like tiger sharks “… are going to take us to new places that we didn’t know.” (该节目还展示了大型海洋动物在帮助更多地了解海底生物方面是多么有用。希普利说，像虎鲨这样的动物“将把我们带到我们不知道的新地方。”)”可知，海洋动物可以帮助我们揭开更多的自然秘密。故选D。 D 篇 China is recognized as a world leader in the development of artificial intelligence (AI) and facial recognition systems. A Chinese company says it has created a new facial recognition system that can identify people even if they are wearing masks. Engineers at the Beijing-based company say their system is the first to be created to effectively identify people wearing face masks. The company told a news agency that a team of 20 people built the system in about a month. The system is based on existing technologies developed over the past 10 years. The process involved adding a collection of about 6 million unmasked faces and a much smaller collection of masked faces, the company said. The company is now selling two main kinds of products that use the new technology. One performs “single channel” recognition, which is designed to be used at the entrances to buildings. The other product is a “multi-channel” recognition system that uses groups of surveillance (监视) cameras. It can identify individuals in a crowd of up to 30 people within a second. “When people are wearing a mask that covers the mouth and the nose, the recognition rate can reach about 95%, which can ensure that most people can be identified,” said Huang, vice president of the company. He added that the system’s success rate for people not wearing a mask is about 99.5%. However, the new system struggles to identify people wearing both a mask and sunglasses. “In this situation, all of the key facial information is lost. In such cases recognition is tough,” Huang said. People react to the new technology differently. While some citizens have been against using such tools, the majority have accepted the technology as an effective way to reduce crime and catch criminals. 12. What did the company do to build the system? A. It gathered many face images. B. It used the latest technology. C. It added a collection of masks. D. It employed hundreds of people. 13. What can we know about the new system? A. Its success rate is affected by cameras. B. It recognizes groups of people in seconds. C. Its performance changes with the location. D. It does better in identifying unmasked faces. 14. What is the author’s attitude towards the new system? (改编) A. Negative. B. Doubtful. C. Objective. D. Supportive. 15. What can be the best title for the text?(自创) A. An Effective Way to Reduce Crime B. Benefits of a New Facial Recognition System C. The Development of AI D. A New Facial Recognition System 【答案】12. A 13. D 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一种新的面部识别系统，即使人们戴着口罩也能识别他们。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“The system is based on existing technologies developed over the past 10 years. The process involved adding a collection of about 6 million unmasked faces and a much smaller collection of masked faces, the company said.(该系统基于过去10年开发的现有技术。该公司表示，这个过程包括添加大约600万张未戴面具的脸和一个小得多的戴面具的脸)”可知，公司是收集了许多人脸图像来建立这个系统的。故选A项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“When people are wearing a mask that covers the mouth and the nose, the recognition rate can reach about 95%, which can ensure that most people can be identified,(当人们戴着遮住口鼻的口罩时，识别率可以达到95%左右，可以保证大多数人都能被识别出来)”和“He added that the system’s success rate for people not wearing a mask is about 99.5%.(他补充说，该系统对不戴口罩的人的成功率约为99.5%)”可知，该系统在识别未戴面具的面孔方面做得更好。故选D项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。文章第四段主要介绍了该系统的优势，第五段有介绍了该系统的不足之处，再根据文章最后一段“People react to the new technology differently. While some citizens have been against using such tools, the majority have accepted the technology as an effective way to reduce crime and catch criminals.(人们对新技术的反应不同。虽然一些公民反对使用这些工具，但大多数人都认为这项技术是减少犯罪和抓捕罪犯的有效方法)”可推知，作者只是客观介绍了一种新的面部识别系统，和人们对这一系统的不同观点，所以作者的态度应该是客观的。故选C项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“A Chinese company says it has created a new facial recognition system that can identify people even if they are wearing masks. Engineers at the Beijing-based company say their system is the first to be created to effectively identify people wearing face masks.(一家中国公司表示，他们已经开发出一种新的面部识别系统，即使人们戴着口罩也能识别出来。这家总部位于北京的公司的工程师表示，他们的系统是第一个能够有效识别戴口罩的人的系统)”及下文可知，文章主要介绍了一种新的面部识别系统，即使人们戴着口罩也能识别他们。由此可知，D选项“一种新的面部识别系统”能概括全文内容，适合用作文章标题。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。 A study published in the Health Communication Journal has found that consuming too much bad news can worsen our mental and physical health, leaving us in a state of high alert. ____16____?

He thought, “Nothing good can come to a nation whose people only complain and expect others to solve their problems.” One day, he had an idea that he could do something to test and teach his people. Early one morning, the king disguised (装扮) himself and went to a local village. He placed a large stone in the middle of the main street and hid some gold coins under the stone. He made it a rule that anyone removing the stone could get the coins. Then he hid behind a huge maple tree and watched. Soon the villagers began their daily routine and came to the street one after another. The first person down the street was a milkman with his cart. He crashed into the stone, spilling the milk everywhere. “What fool put this stone here?” he shouted. He picked himself up and angrily went away. After a while, a group of women came along, each balancing a pot of water on her head. One woman tripped over (绊倒) the stone and her water pot went crashing to the ground. She picked herself up and limped away in tears. Neither she nor her friends thought about moving the stone out of the road. Then came more people. The king watched all morning, only to find that those people complained about the stone, but nobody made an attempt to move it. The king was in despair. “Is there no one in this village who feels any responsibility to keep their neighbors from harm?” Shaking his head, he decided to turn back. 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。 Just then, the king saw a young girl coming along. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Just then, the king stepped out from behind the tree. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Just then, the king saw a young girl coming along. She had been working in the field all morning. Tired as she was, she stopped to move the stone out of the way when observing it. She thought, “This stone is a danger to anyone who comes down the street after dark.” With all her might and a great deal of effort, she finally managed to move it to the street side. Imagine her surprise when she saw the gold coins where the stone had been! But, as an honest girl, she didn’t want to take them away as her own. Just then, the king stepped out from behind the tree. Seeing this, the girl felt shocked and said, “Oh sir, does this gold belong to you? If not, we surely must find the owner, for he will certainly miss it.” The king said, “My dear, it’s mine. I put it in the road and moved the stone over it. Now the gold is yours, because you are the only person who has learnt the lesson I wanted to teach my people.” To his surprise, the girl didn’t keep it for herself but decided to donate it to the village school. 【解析】 【导语】本文以故事情节发展为线索，讲述了一个国王想要看看自己的国民遇到问题时是否想着解决问题，而不仅是抱怨，为此设置了任务：把金子藏在大街上挡道的石头下面，他自己藏在附近观察。如果有人不只是抱怨，而是搬开石头，就会获得藏在下面的金子作为奖励。运牛奶的男人、打水的女人都只是抱怨一番，只有一个小女孩想着别人天黑不注意可能会撞在石头上，挣扎着搬开了石头。但她发现金子之后并没有享有它，而是想找到失主。国王赶忙出现解释，但小女孩最终还是把金子捐给了学校。这真是一个勤劳善良的小女孩！ 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“就在这个时候，国王看到一个小女孩走过来。”可知，第一段可描写小女孩看到石头后的反应和所作所为。 ②由第二段首句内容“就在这时，国王从树后走了出来。”可知，第二段可描写国王看到小女孩搬开石头发现金子之后，两人直接的交谈以及如何处理这意外之财。 2.续写线索：国王石头下藏金子考验国民——男人和女人撞到石头抱怨不止——小女孩看到石头、努力搬开石头——发现金子很意外、并等待失主——国王出现、告诉女孩金子是她的奖励——小女孩捐赠金子给学校 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①看到：observe/notice ②带走：take them away as her own/keep it for herself ③学习：learn/study 情绪类 ①确定：surely/certainly ②惊讶的：shocked/ surprised 【点睛】[高分句型1] Imagine her surprise when she saw the gold coins where the stone had been!（由连接词when引导的时间状语从句，where引导的地点状语从句） [高分句型2] Now the gold is yours, because you are the only person who has learnt the lesson I wanted to teach my people.（由because引导的原因状语从句，关系代词who引导的定语从句，省略that引导的定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 射洪中学高2023级高二上期入学考试 英语试题 （考试时间：150分钟 满分：150分） 注意事项： 1.答卷前，考生务必将自己的班级、姓名、考号填写在答题卡上。 2.回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。写在本试卷上无效。 3.回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡对应题号的位置上。写在本试卷上无效。 4.考试结束后，将答题卡交回。 第I卷（选择题） 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。 1.

B 篇 It was a warm winter’s day in South Africa and I planned to go surfing. The area of beach I went to is famous among surfers for its powerful waves and popularity with sharks. After a while my brother and some of my friends got out of the water because they felt uneasy. There was the smell of fish in the air, which can attract sharks. A few of us stayed. Finally, I saw my first big wave, but as I was about to hit it, two great white sharks attacked me. It happened so quickly. One shark hit me, throwing me into the air; a second later, it dragged me under the water. The shock stopped me from feeling pain. Under the water, another shark went for my head and shoulders but missed. Perhaps surprised by the competition, the first shark lost its grip (控制) on me and the next thing I knew was that I was staring a shark straight in the face. It stared back at me for a few moments. Its mouth was wide open; I could see huge teeth and dark black eyes. After it passed, I swam to the surface as fast as I could. When surfing, there is always the fear in the back of your mind of sharks. Now it was real. I was shaking, crying and panicking, realizing that I could die. I tried all my hardest to swim back to the shore. Eventually, I made it to dry land. I felt relief. Someone tied my arm to slow the bleeding and my brother rushed me to the hospital. The surgeon managed to save my fingers. That day changed my life, but it hasn’t stopped me from surfing. I started a surfing school to teach the sport to others. I was more afraid of sharks before my attack. Now I know what it means to be alive. 4. Why do sharks like appearing at the surfing beach? A. There are powerful waves in winter. B. The beach is their natural habitat. C. The smell of fish attracts them. D. The beach is crowded with surfers. 5. How did the author narrowly escape to dry land? A. By swimming as fast as possible. B.

A safety problem for surfers. C. A terrible lesson for surfers. D. An experience of a surfer. C 篇 Scientists have discovered the world’s largest known field of sea grass. They did it using videos shot by some sea animals. The work should help protect the sea grass, and also shows off a creative way to explore the ocean. Sea grasses are flowering plants that normally grow in shallow waters near coasts. They grow in thick fields, known as meadows. Sea grass meadows help clean the ocean water, and provide food and home for many sea creatures. Importantly, sea grass meadows also help in the fight against the climate problems. That’s because they store a great deal of carbon — the harmful pollution that’s making global warming worse. Damaging (破坏) these sea grass meadows can release this pollution again, so it’s important to protect them. However, the ocean is too huge for humans to study all by diving (潜水). A team of scientists decided to have tiger sharks help with the research because tiger sharks live underwater, swim fast and spend a lot of time in sea grass meadows. The researchers attached cameras and other trackers to seven tiger sharks. After catching the sharks, the scientists worked quickly to attach the equipment, then let them go again. The cameras were designed to fall off after a few hours and float (漂浮) to the surface. Tracking signals helped the scientists find the floating cameras and collect the videos the sharks had taken over the sea floor. Putting all the data together, the scientists learned that the waters around the Bahamas are home to the largest sea grass meadow ever discovered. The project is important for several reasons. Since sea grass is so valuable in fighting global warming, it’s important to know where it is.

A Chinese company says it has created a new facial recognition system that can identify people even if they are wearing masks. Engineers at the Beijing-based company say their system is the first to be created to effectively identify people wearing face masks. The company told a news agency that a team of 20 people built the system in about a month. The system is based on existing technologies developed over the past 10 years. The process involved adding a collection of about 6 million unmasked faces and a much smaller collection of masked faces, the company said. The company is now selling two main kinds of products that use the new technology. One performs “single channel” recognition, which is designed to be used at the entrances to buildings. The other product is a “multi-channel” recognition system that uses groups of surveillance (监视) cameras. It can identify individuals in a crowd of up to 30 people within a second. “When people are wearing a mask that covers the mouth and the nose, the recognition rate can reach about 95%, which can ensure that most people can be identified,” said Huang, vice president of the company. He added that the system’s success rate for people not wearing a mask is about 99.5%. However, the new system struggles to identify people wearing both a mask and sunglasses. “In this situation, all of the key facial information is lost. In such cases recognition is tough,” Huang said. People react to the new technology differently. While some citizens have been against using such tools, the majority have accepted the technology as an effective way to reduce crime and catch criminals. 12. What did the company do to build the system? A. It gathered many face images. B. It used the latest technology. C. It added a collection of masks. D. It employed hundreds of people. 13. What can we know about the new system? A. Its success rate is affected by cameras. B. It recognizes groups of people in seconds. C. Its performance changes with the location. D. It does better in identifying unmasked faces. 14. What is the author’s attitude towards the new system? (改编) A. Negative. B. Doubtful. C. Objective. D. Supportive. 15. What can be the best title for the text?(自创) A. An Effective Way to Reduce Crime B. Benefits of a New Facial Recognition System C. The Development of AI D. A New Facial Recognition System 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。 A study published in the Health Communication Journal has found that consuming too much bad news can worsen our mental and physical health, leaving us in a state of high alert. ____16____?

He thought, “Nothing good can come to a nation whose people only complain and expect others to solve their problems.” One day, he had an idea that he could do something to test and teach his people. Early one morning, the king disguised (装扮) himself and went to a local village. He placed a large stone in the middle of the main street and hid some gold coins under the stone. He made it a rule that anyone removing the stone could get the coins. Then he hid behind a huge maple tree and watched. Soon the villagers began their daily routine and came to the street one after another. The first person down the street was a milkman with his cart. He crashed into the stone, spilling the milk everywhere. “What fool put this stone here?” he shouted. He picked himself up and angrily went away. After a while, a group of women came along, each balancing a pot of water on her head. One woman tripped over (绊倒) the stone and her water pot went crashing to the ground. She picked herself up and limped away in tears. Neither she nor her friends thought about moving the stone out of the road. Then came more people. The king watched all morning only to find that those people complained about the stone, but nobody made an attempt to move it. The king was in despair. “Is there no one in this village who feels any responsibility to keep their neighbors from harm?” Shaking his head, he decided to turn back. 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。 Just then, the king saw a young girl coming along. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Just then, the king stepped out from behind the tree. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
