In 2013,I founded an organization called Love For The Elderly.Many elderly people have no one to care for them,no one to look after them,and no one to love them.The elderly have paved the pathway of success for my generation.They deserve to be shown appreciation and kindness but are often ignored. I am sure all of you have someone in your heart who has been at a nursing home.Think of them while I say this:they deserve the best and nothing but the best.The elderly are such an outstanding group, and their wisdom can most definitely be leamed from.This idea of appreciating the elderly reverberated (inside my head until finally,I decided it was time to step up and make a difference. My passion for writing led me to create an organization,where people from all across the globe send letters filled with kindness and joy,from Iceland,Romania,Finland,Australia,and more.I then send these letters to senior centers,nursing homes,and retirement communities located all across the country.To this date,I have collected over 1,000 letters,and the response I have received has been truly unbelievable. This past month,I had the opportunity to receive $100 from KindSpring through their monthly kindness contest to help my organization.This money has been of great help.We do not receive much money,and so it helped to pay for many costs,including postage and envelopes.This gesture of kindness has been very beneficial to my organization,and I could not be more appreciative.Thank you so much to KindSpring for this amazing opportunity.If any of you would like to get involved in my organization, please visit lovefortheelderly.org. 24.What does the author tell us about the elderly? A.All are in bad condition. B.Most get little love or care. C.A few live a successful life D.They appreciate others'kindness. 25.Which of the following can best describe the author? 高二上学期期中考试 共8页 CS扫描全能王 3亿人都在用的扫描ApP A.Outgoing and honest. B.Aggressive but careful. C.Kind and ambitious. D.Considerate but silent. 26.Why does the author mention KindSpring? A.To advertise for the organization. B.To appeal to others to donate money. C.To show mean behaviors of the organization. D.To express his thanks to the organization. 27.Which of the following could be the best title for the text? A.Volunteer in Senior Centers-Your Choice B.Love for the Elderly-a Chance to Show Kindness C.Stay Alone after Retirement-the Elderly's Suffering D.Letters to Parents-the Way of Expressing Love C I must have always known reading was very important because the first memories I have as a child deal with books.There was not one night that I don't remember mom reading me a storybook by my bedside.I was extremely inspired by the elegant way the words sounded. I always wanted to know what my mom was reading.Hearing mom say,"I can't believe what's printed in the newspaper this morning,"made me want to grab it out of her hands and read it myself.I wanted to be like my mom and know all of the things she knew.So I carried around a book,and each night,just to be like her,I would pretend to be reading. This is how everyone leamed to read.We would start off with sentences,then paragraphs,and then stories.It seemed an unending journey,but even as a six-year-old girl I realized that knowing how to read could open many doors.When mom said,"The C-A-N-D-Y is hidden on the top shelf,"I knew where the candy was.My progress in reading raised my curiosity,and I wanted to know everything.I often found myself telling my mom to drive more slowly,so that I could read all of the road signs we passed. Most of my reading through primary,middle and high school was factual reading.I read for knowledge,and to make A's on my tests.Occasionally,I would read a novel that was assigned,but I didn't enjoy this type of reading.I liked facts,things that are concrete.I thought anything abstract left too much room for argument. Yet,now that I'm growing and the world I once knew as being so simple is becoming more complex, I find myself needing a way to escape.By opening a novel,I can leave behind my burdens and enter into a wonderful and mysterious world where I am now a new character.In these worlds I can become anyone. I don't have to write down what happened or what technique the author was using when he or she wrote this.I just read to relax. We're taught to read because it's necessary for much of human understanding.Reading is a vital part of my life.Reading satisfies my desire to keep learning.And I've found that the possibilities that lie within books are limitless. 28.Why did the author want to grab the newspaper out of mom's hands? A.She wanted mom to read the news to her. B.She was anxious to know what had happened. C.She couldn't wait to tear the newspaper apart. D.She couldn't help but stop mom from reading. 29.What was the author's view on factual reading? A.It would help her update test-taking skills. B.It would allow much room for free thinking. C.It would provide true and objective information. 高二上学期期中考试共8页 4 CS扫描全能王 3亿人都在用的扫描ApP D.It would help shape a realistic and serious attitude to life. 30.The author takes novel reading as a way to A.explore a fantasy land B.develop a passion for leaning C.leam about the adult community D.get away from a confusing world 31.What could be the best title for the passage? A.The Magic of Reading B.The Pleasure of Reading C.Growing Up with Reading D.Reading Makes a Full Man D Artificial intelligence can predict when patients with a heart disorder will die,according to scientists. The software leamed to analyze blood tests and scans of beating hearts to spot signs that the organ was about to fail.The team,from the UK's Medical Research Council,said the technology could save lives by finding patients that need more aggressive treatment.The results were published in the Journal of Radiology. According to the researchers,high blood pressure in the lungs damages part of the heart,and about a third of patients die within five years after being diagnosed.There are treatments:drugs,injections straight into the blood vessels,a lung transplant.But doctors need to have an idea of how long patients might have left,in order to pick the right treatment. The software was given scans of 256 patients'hearts,and blood test results.When this data was combined with eight years of patient health records,the artificial intelligence predicted when patients would die. The software could look about five years into the future.It correctly predicted those who would still be alive after one year about 80%of the time.The figure for doctors is 60%. The team now want to test the software works in other patients in different hospitals before assessing whether it should be made widely available to doctors.The researchers also want to use the technology in other forms of heart failure,such as cardiomyopathy,to see who might need a pacemaker or other forms of treatment. Dr Mike Knapton,from the British Heart Foundation,said,"This exciting use of computer software in medical practice will help doctors in the future to make sure that patients are receiving the correct treatment before the condition deteriorates and leaves them needing a lung transplant.The next step is to test this technology in more hospitals with heart disease." 32.What can artificial intelligence do according to the passage? A.Predicting how long a person with heart disease can survive. B.Helping doctors diagnose people with heart disease. C.Obeying orders and reminding heart disease patients to take pills D.Producing medicine without side effects for heart disease patients. 33.What can we know about the software from the passage? A.It can make accurate long-term predictions. B.It has not yet been widely put into use. C.It can prevent high blood pressure in the lungs damaging part of the heart. D.It can help doctors make sure that patients are receiving the correct treatment. 高二上学期期中考试共8页 CS扫描全能王 3亿人都在用的扫描ApP 34.The underlined word"deteriorates"in the last paragraph probably means" A.continues B.worsens C.exists D.improves 35.The author's purpose of writing the text is most likely to A.advertise B.persuade C.inform D.entertain 第二节（共5小愿：每小愿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。 When you have work to do,would you rather work at home,in an office,or at a cafe?For many,the answer would be a cafe.There is no doubt that the caffeine in coffee can provide some energy to help us work.36 Therefore,it's no surprise that cafes are often full of people working hard on their laptops. 37Some scientists suggest that background music,people chatting,or the sound of making drinks actually helps people improve their concentration.These noises provide just enough stimulation to help people focus on a task without becoming annoyed or letting their minds wander. Another theory has to do with social psychology.Research has found that people are often more productive when they have an audience.In a setting like a cafe,people may be encouraged to increase their focus when they are surrounded by others who are also hard at work.38 For many writers,cafes are the best places to go when an important deadline is coming up.The Manuscript Writing Cafe in Japan has decided to target writers that need to get their work done quickly. 39 That means comic book artists and authors as well as songwriters are also welcome. What makes the Manuscript Writing Cafe even more unique is that customers have to announce their writing goals for the day to the cafe staff.40 In other words,work slowly and you'll pay for it.What's more,they aren't allowed to leave until they have completed their work for the day. A.Why are some people more productive in cafes? B.This special cafe opened in Tokyo in April 2022 C.The brain might consider others working nearby as competitors. D.Customers are also charged for each half-hour they stay at the cafe. E.But on top of that,a lot of people just seem to work more efficiently there. F.It won't let customers take a seat unless they do a writing or artistic project. G.The staff will check on their progress every hour and ensure that they're being productive. 第三部分语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小愿：每小愿1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每思所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 On Sunday,Schoonbroodt,a 71-year-old from Maastricht,ran a marathon.In a 412hr 54 mins and 19 secs,he became the fastest person of his age in history.At an age when many of his contemporaries (are42 down,Jo Schoonbroodt is43 speeding up.

Suddenly,the walkie-talkie (on Alan,one of the officers,rang."The cake shop near the City Museum has reported a burglary ()Please rush to the scene Immediately",said the electronic voice. The two policemen quickly arrived at the shop,only to find that the scene showed no sign of crimes (at all.Curiously,they checked the monitor and found that a thin woman broke open the window and climbed into the store at 5:20 a.m.Instead of searching around,she walked straight into the storage room,stole cheese,chocolate,butter and other ingredients (for a cake,and then ran away down the road. Both policemen felt quite confused about her behavior.One of the shop assistants identified the thief as Clara,a single mother who lived nearby.She has an eight-year-old boy to take care of and lives in poverty. Moments later,the two officers arrived at Clara's house.Bob,another officer,pulled out a gun and was about to break in.But Alan told him to put the gun away and knocked gently. The door opened and out came a very thin woman.From the outline of her figure,Alan recognized that she was exactly the thief.The woman,Clara,immediately understood the situation when she saw the two policemen.She buried her face in her hands and sat down on the floor. At that very moment,a child's voice broke the silence,"Mom,is anyone coming for my birthday? Invite them in,please." After hearing the boy's words,Clara stood up and begged in a low voice,"Officer,I did steal those things,but there's nothing else I could do.It's my baby's birthday,and I've got neither job nor money. Please don't take those things away.I've just used them to make him a cake." 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右： 高二上学期期中考试 共8页 8 CS扫描全能王 3亿人都在用的扫描ApP 2.2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Looking into the woman's teary eyes,Alan understood and walked into the house.
