B Every man wants his son to be somewhat of a clone,not in features but in footsteps.As he grows you also age,and your ambitions become more unachievable.You begin to realize that your boy,in your footsteps,could probably accomplish what you hoped for.But footsteps can be muddied and they can go off in different directions. My son Jody has hated school since day one in kindergarten.Science projects waited until the last moment.Book reports weren't written until the final threat. I've been a newspaperman all my adult life.My daughter is a university graduate working toward her master's degree in English.But Jody?When he entered the tenth grade he became a vo-tech”student(技校学生).They're called“motorheads'”by the rest of the student body. When a secretary in my office first called him "motorhead",I was shocked."Hey,he's a good kid,”I wanted to say.“And smart,really.” I learned later that motorheads are,indeed,different.They usually have dirty hands and wear dirty work clothes.And they don't often make school honor rolls ) But being the parent of a motorhead is itself an experience in education.We who labor in clean shirts in offices don't have the abilities that motorheads have.I began to learn this when I had my car crashed.The cost to repair it was estimated at $800."Hey,I can fix it,"said Jody.I doubted it,but let him go ahead,for I had nothing to lose. My son,with other motorheads,fixed the car.They got parts from a junkyard,and ability from vo-tech classes.The loss was $25 instead of $800. Since that first repair job,a broken air-conditioner,a non-functioning washer and a non-toasting toaster have been fixed.Neighbors and co-workers trust their car repairs to him.These kids are happiest when doing repairs.They joke and laugh and are living in their own relaxed world.And their minds are bright despite their dirty hands and clothes. I have learned a lot from my motorhead:publishers need printers,engineers need mechanics,and architects need builders.Most important,I have learned that fathers don't need clones in footsteps or anywhere else.My son may never make the school honor roll.But he made mine. 24.What used to be the author's hope for his son? A.To avoid becoming his clone. B.To resemble him in appearance C.To develop in a different direction.D.To reach the author's unachieved goals. 25.The author let his son repair the car because he believed that A.his son had the ability to fix it B.it would save him much time C.it wouldn't cause him any more loss D.other motorheads would come to help 第二次月考英语试题 第2页共8页 ▣紫▣ Q夸克扫描王 极速扫描，就是高效茴郎 26.In the author's eyes,motorheads are A.tidy and hardworking B.cheerful and smart C.lazy but bright D.relaxed but rude 27.What did the author realize in the end? A.It is unwise to expect your child to follow your path. B.It is important for one to make the honor roll. C.Architects play a more important role than builders. D.Motorheads have greater ability than office workers. C City living has long been described as fast-paced.A study from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology reveals that citizens in three major north-eastern U.S.cities-Boston,New York,and Philadelphia-are walking 15 percent faster than they did in 1980.They also found that fewer people are spending extra time in public spaces,with the number dropping by 14 percent over the past three decades. Co-author Arianna Salazar-Miranda said that the findings suggest a shift in how people use public spaces.She said,When they start to function more like passageways than gathering spots,we risk losing cities'ability to generate informal encounters that drive creativity,engagement and community.” Ruth Conroy Dalton,a professor of architecture at Northumbria University in the UK,who was not involved in the study,said,"A rise in walking speed shortens the average street journey by about 13 percent,which means fewer seconds in which passerby interactions,eye contact,or simply"being present"can occur."Dalton added,"When the street itself gives you less to stop and look around,you tend to hurry through it even faster." In the study,the researchers used machine learning to analyze the videos taken by urbanist William Whyte between 1978 and 1980 in New York City.In 2010,a research team led by sociologist Keith Hampton recreated Whyte's filming conditions,shooting updated videos from the same public locations at the same time of day.Among the findings was a drop in the number of people who joined groups after entering public spaces.As for the reasons,the researchers point to the rise of smartphones, which allow people to make plans digitally before stepping outside.Coffee culture may also be playing a role,drawing people away from sidewalks and into climate-controlled,Wi-Fi-equipped venues. The researchers hope their work will inform how cities design and redesign public areas, especially at a time when digital polarization is reshaping how people connect in real life."Public space is such an important element of city life,"said co-author Salazar-Miranda."The more we can keep improving public space,the more we can make our cities better places for people to come together..” 28.Why does the author mention the numbers in paragraph 1? A.To assess urban planning challenges. B.To demonstrate improved traffic efficiency C.To highlight reduced social contact. D.To provide evidence for faster lifestyles. 29.What is the impact of faster walking speed? A.It promotes physical exercise. B.It leads to more traffic accidents C.It limits street social interactions. D.It causes less awareness of surroundings. 30.What method was employed to conduct the study? A.Surveys across multiple cities. B.Computer analysis of videos. 第二次月考英语试题 第3页共8页 ▣紫▣ Q夸克扫描王 极速扫描，就是高效可部 C.Tracking walking behaviors. D.Comparing urban architecture. 31.What is the study expected to help people do? A.Improve public space design. B.Change modern urban lifestyle. C.Control digital communication. D.Preserve historical buildings. D Humans aren't the only animals with hot tempers(). In 2016,ecologist Kristen Cecala and a workmate saw black-bellied salamanders from Appalachian streams quickly jump at each other in a special box in the lab.Cecala says these small animals strongly defend their home area by biting their opponents to make them escape.The experiment was set up to test how rising temperatures would affect salamanders'behavior.As it turned out,they were nearly four times as likely to act aggressively at 25Celsius,much warmer than their stream habitats.And studies show that many animals like monkeys and fish tend to get more aggressive at higher temperatures. As the planet warms due to climate change,rising temperatures could affect some species'social structures and ecosystems.But the findings may also tell us something deeper about how heat affects animals physiologically and potentially reveal clues to increased violence and crime among humans in hot weather. One possible explanation for this heat-aggression link in cold-blooded animals is that warmth dials up the animals metabolism ()using up more of their energy.This requires more calories, making animals more territorial to secure food.By contrast,warm-blooded animals may be less sensitive to these effects because they can cool their bodies through sweating.But the heat-aggression association has been documented in some monkeys,rats and dogs.Even for warm-blooded animals, warmth speeds metabolic rates,and calorie loss may be worsened by the energy needed to cool their bodies.When the priority is getting more calories,less energy may go toward maintaining social behaviors and managing aggression. There is indeed some evidence that heat can affect brain chemistry and connectivity,potentially leading to aggressive behavior,says environmental neuroscientist Kim Meidenbauer."Uncomfortable, stressful heat affects a number of psychological and physiological processes that can lead to heightened aggression,"she says. While scientists investigate the underlying mechanisms and important questions such as whether aggression disappears once animals get used to heat,they're also thinking about possible consequences of the heat-aggression relationship as the world warms. 32.What was the aim of the experiment on salamanders? A.To conclude how they behave in a stream. B.To prove that they become aggressive in heat. C.To find how they respond to rising temperatures. D.To figure out how they drive their opponents away. 33.What does the underlined phrasedials up"in paragraph 4 probably mean? A.Balances. B.Boosts. C.Stops. D.Disturbs. 34.What is the probable reason for heat-caused aggression? A.They become more social. B.They fail to cool down. C.They prefer fighting in heat. D.They need more energy. 35.Which of the following is the best title for the text? 第二次月考英语试题 第4页共8页 ▣▣ Q夸克扫描王 极速扫描，就是高效可书 A.Cold-blooded Animals'Social Behavior B.Heat Increases Animal Aggression C.Temperature's Effect on Human Crime D.Climate Change Influences Animals 第二部分语言运用（共两节，满分60分） 第一节（共30小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） Any time of the day you can commit to exercising is a good time for getting active.However,the best time for exercise is different for each person.36 Determine when you have the most energy.Do you struggle to get out of the bed in the morning or do you wake up energized and ready to go?Are you a night owl and never get to bed before midnight?Once you establish what your sleep tendencies are,you will have a better idea of when your body is most ready to exercise.37You are more likely to hit the snooze button instead of getting a workout in. Consider your daily schedule.When are you the busiest?38 Try to fit in exercise before or at least around these events.Some people would prefer to get it out of the way first thing, while others prefer to put it off until the end of the day when they are all caught up. Determine your exercise goals.If you are trying to develop a routine,you may want to exercise in the morning.39 If you are trying to improve your performance,evening exercise may be best.You may experience less tiredness,quicker reaction times,and more strength and flexibility in the evening.If you are trying to lose weight,you may want to exercise in the morning before you have eaten when your body is more likely to use fat instead of carbohydrates(a碳水化合物)for energy. 40 This way,you'll see how you feel and find the time that works best with your schedule.Keep an exercise log to help you evaluate each time. A.Fewer people exercise in the morning. B.Do you perform better in the morning or at night? C.People who exercise in the morning are more consistent. D.When do you tend to schedule your most important tasks? E.Consider your lifestyle and exercise goals to find the right time. F.If you're not a morning person,do not schedule an early morning workout. G.Anyway,you'd better experiment with both morning and evening workouts. 第二节（共30小题；每小题1.5分，满分45分） 完形一：阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最 佳选项。 I must admit that I wasn't always a fan of change-not even a little.

With laughter and cheers all around me,I took a short break near the field's edge to catch my breath.It was then that I heard a faint mewing sound.Following the sound,I finally spotted a tiny kitten.It looked scared and hurt,its leg twisted at a strange angle. "Hey,guys!Come here!"I called out to my classmates.They gathered around,their faces filled with concern."We need to help it,"said Sarah.We all agreed.Carefully,I picked up the kitten,feeling its tiny body shaking in my hands.It was so small and weak. We decided to seek help from our kind PE teacher,Mr Johnson."Mr Johnson,we found this poor kitten,and it seems badly hurt,"I said,holding it out to him.He looked at the kitten and then at us,a serious expression crossing his face."Let me call the school nurse Mrs Thompson," he said. Before Mrs Thompson came,,we quickly made a makeshift stretcher(临时担架)using a towel and two sticks,and gently placed the kitten on it with Mr Johnson's direction.A moment later,Mrs Thompson came running with a first aid kit.As she examined the kitten,we all held our breath."It looks like it has a broken leg,"she said."We need to get it to the animal hospital immediately."Mr Johnson nodded and told us to go back to the classroom after the PE class was over.Then,he and Mrs Thompson took the kitten to the vet. The rest of the day was a blur((模糊的记f忆).We could only think about the kitten,hoping it would be fine.Before the school was over,Mr Johnson returned to the classroom with a big smile on his face.“Good news,.kids！”he announced.“The kitten's surgery was a success.The vet said that with proper care it would make a full recovery." 注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1:Hearing this,we all felt relieved.

I am writing to inquire about the online English summer courses designed for international students. Could you be so kind as to tell me about the curriculum structure, such as the starting date and the number of classes per week? Additionally, I’m also curious about the course materials, which are totally free or to be paid? Furthermore, considering the time difference, I’m keen to get informed whether the lessons are given in real time or I can review them at any time? I would be grateful if you could provide me with the above information at your earliest convenience. Thank you for your time and assistance. Yours sincerely, Li Hua 读后续写范文 Paragraph 1: Hearing this, we all felt relieved. Cheers and whoops(欢呼与呐喊) erupted from our group as we gave each other a high--five, the tension of the day finally melting away. Some of us even jumped up and down, our voices echoing across the classroom—Sarah clapped her hands so hard that her cheeks flushed, while Tom let out a loud whistle that made the desk next to him shake. We immediately bombarded Mr. Johnson with requests as well as presents to visit the kitten. After much persuasion, he agreed, and we burst into another round of cheers. Following it, we excitedly piled into the school car, chatter filling the air about how the kitten might look now and whether it would remember our voices. Paragraph 2: In the animal hospital, we saw the recovered kitten. It was a far cry from the frail, trembling creature we had found. The once - injured leg was now healed, and it bounded around its cage with enthusiasm. As soon as it caught sight of us, it let out a series of excited meows, rubbing its body against the bars. We rushed forward, our hands reaching through the cage to pet it gently. Some of us had brought small toys and treats, which the kitten pounced on with delight. We spent a long time in the hospital,talking softly to the kitten, promising that it would never be alone again. This little furry friend had not only recovered but also found a forever home in our hearts. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
