The best European countries to visit in the spring include: France, Netherlands, Slovakia, Romania, Czech Republic and so on. France One of the most tourist-packed countries in Europe, France offers lesser crowds and more excellent weather during the spring months. Just outside of Paris are the impressive castles and country houses of Sceaux, where the cherry blossom can easily be seen in spring. Netherlands The Netherlands is well-known for its vast fields of flowers, making spring a perfect time for a Dutch holiday. The tulip fields in the Noordoostpolder are a must, as well as flower fields in Flevoland and Kop van Noord-Holland. In Veluwe National Park, tourists will be rewarded with the sight of red deer eating grass. A trip to the Netherlands would, of course, be incomplete without a visit to Amsterdam. The lesser crowds and lovely weather of spring make it the perfect time to explore Amsterdam’s canals. Slovakia Slovakia is a wonderfully diverse country with rich cultural history and awe-inspiring natural sites. Slovak Paradise is a natural park that offers 19 nature reserves and over 350 caves. Due to its hot summers and cold winters, spring is a perfect time to explore all that Slovakia has to offer. Romania Romania hosts a variety of great cultural sites and lively cities, especially attractive during spring months. The Statue of King Decebalus, a 141-foot-high upper part of Decebalus carved into the side of a rock, is a wonderful attraction. Brașov Old Town is one of Europe’s most charming destinations for those looking to escape the capital city of Bucharest. Czech Republic Due to its impossibly preserved Gothic architecture, Prague is widely regarded as the most impressive city in Europe. As such, summertime will be characterized with crowds that can ruin the romance with which you should experience Prague. May in the Czech Republic offers perfect not-too-hot, not-too-cold weather. This makes for ideal conditions to cross Charles Bridge and tour Prague Castle. 21.If one wants to appreciate flowers, he will most probably go to ______. A. Slovakia B. Netherlands C. Romania D. Czech Republic 22. Which are the best destinations for tourists interested in architecture? A. France and Romania. B. Romania and Slovakia. C. Slovakia and Czech Republic. D. France and Czech Republic. 23. What can be learned about the countries mentioned in the passage? A. They are packed with more crowds in spring than in other seasons. B. Tourists can travel in ships when visiting Romania and Netherlands. C. Travellers can catch sight of and feed wild animals in these countries. D. Slovakia is an amazing place where tourists can enjoy natural beauty. B Sarah Park has known about the impact of music on the brain since a young age. The 13-year-old, who has been playing the violin since she was 4, says she noticed its positive effect on those around her, especially her grandmother, who suffered from mental illness. Now, the Jacksonville, Florida, middle-schooler hopes to use music therapy (疗法) to help others struggling with mental illness. Her invention, Spark Care+, earned her the title of “America’s Top Young Scientist” at the 3M Young Scientist Challenge on October 19, 2021. Spark Care+ requires participants to respond to a series of questions based on the Hamilton Anxiety and Depression Scale, designed to assess the person’s mental state. The device’s inbuilt sensors record vital mental health indicators, such as heart rate and blood pressure. Spark Care+’s AI component analyzes the information and recommends the appropriate music to help lift the participants’ spirits. It also monitors its impact on the listeners. Sarah Park hopes to make her invention accessible to all. The ninth-grader hopes to turn it into a wristband (手环) with inbuilt sensors, a heart-rate monitor, and Bluetooth. She also wants to build an app to make Spark Care accessible to everyone. “I hope to be able to distribute it around the world to people of all ages,” Park says. In addition to being an inventor, Park is also a musical prodigy (神童) who has won several violin competitions, including the Florida state championship. She also plays the piano and is a math champion. The teen hopes to be an innovator and researcher in the medical field using technology and robotics. Her advice to other young scientists? “Dream big, ask questions, and anything is possible.” 24. What led to Park’s invention of Spark Care+? A. Her desire to earn a title. B. Her research on brain health. C. Her grandmother’s mental illness. D. Her observation of the effect of music. 25. What’s a function of Spark Care+’s AI component? A. To regulate heart rate. B. To collect information. C. To lower blood pressure. D. To suggest delightful music. 26. What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about? A. Park’s future plans. B. Park’s achievements. C. Influence of Park’s invention. D. Application of Park’s invention. 27. What’s the main idea of the text? A. A new invention surprises the science field. B. Sarah Park has become the youngest scientist. C. A young scientist uses Spark Care+ to improve mental health. D. Spark Care+ brings honor to the young scientist Sarah Park. C Anyone who has ever been around a cat for any length of time well knows cats have great patience. Yikes! My cat changed a lot recently. In just a week or so, my calm, adorable, long-haired Rusty turned into the attack cat of the century! It was not what I needed at all! Wasn’t the rest of my life in enough chaos (混乱)? Changes at work. Changes in relationships. I already felt as if my entire world was falling apart. Nothing calmed my cat down either. He ran and dove in every direction. He broke every single rule we had ever had to keep peace in the home we shared. He’d turned into a cat I’d never met before! Finally, I took Rusty to the vet. After careful examination, the vet shook his head, “Not a thing wrong with him, Miss. He’s doing great.” “No,” I argued with anger, “he’s not great. He’s absolutely awful.” I almost burst into tears. Then the vet asked the most insightful question that anyone had ever asked me — at least, anytime recently. “So,” said my cat’s kindhearted vet, “how has your life been going lately?” Shock shot through me. “Me?” I stared at him, essentially speechless, ready to throw myself into his cat-cradling arms. I managed a relatively coherent response. “Not so good,” I admitted. The kindly cat doctor nodded and replied, “Just what I suspected. Often, the human-to-cat bond is so powerful that a perfectly healthy cat will act out in response to his human’s emotional stresses.” I nodded along, thinking. “Yes. yes. yes. yes. yes!” “Do your best,” our doctor told us both, “to be calm, patient and kind. Once you’re doing better, then Rusty will do better, too.” That day turned us around. I got some good, professional treatment for my super stressors. Rusty got a kinder, gentler me with more ear touches and back petting. 28. Why did the author take Rusty to the vet? A. He became unusually wild. B. He lost his sense of direction. C. He suffered heavy hair loss. D. He showed temporary inactivity. 29. The author nearly cried because she thought ________. A. the vet announced good news B. the vet didn’t express sympathy C. the vet didn’t find the problem D. the vet failed to respect her 30. What does the underlined sentence imply? A. The author was impatient with the vet. B. The author felt understood by the vet. C. The author knew Rusty was to recover soon. D. The author favored the treatment for Rusty. 31. How did the author feel after visiting the vet? A. Relieved and calm. B. Grateful and determined. C. Amused and proud. D. Motivated and passionate. D American writer A.N.DEVERS was at a rare-book fair in New York City in 2015 when she noticed a Joan Didion title selling for just $25. Then she saw the price tag of a novel by the equally famous Cormac McCarthy: about $600. “I realized we don’t value women’s work the same way we do men’s,” Devers says. “It’s depressing. But it’s also exciting, because I can do something about it.” Three years later, after moving to London and joining the U.K.’s booming rare-book trade, Devers opened the red doors of her new bookstore, the Second Shelf. Located in a quiet courtyard off the busy streets of London’s Soho, the store almost exclusively stocks rare books by women (alongside a handful of male-authored books about women). The focus is modern fiction: Elizabeth Bowen novels, romances by Rosamunde Pilcher, poetry by Ntozake Shange. Devers’ skill for finding overlooked jewels was polished during a childhood of visits to yard sales in towns across the U.S., a result of her family’s following her father’s Air Force job. Some of her most sought-after recent finds were works by Miriam Tlali, the first black woman to publish a novel in South Africa. Devers hit on her 1975 debut in a charity store and quickly sourced and sold 15 more Tlali books. In collecting these works, the Second Shelf is correcting a historical imbalance that has allowed women’s literary achievements to be eclipsed. Bookdealers have tended to be men; much of the trade’s early material was collected by “country gentlemen who ran estates and amassed libraries of books to show their wealth and intelligence,” Devers says. She argues that they’ve been like their peers in other male-led creative industries — including television, film and the news media — in that “they focus on themselves.” That past contributes to a plain absence of women’s work among the books considered to be valuable cultural objects. In January, the Second Shelf went viral on Twitter after Devers pointed out that only nine books by women appeared in a list, produced by a trade website, of the 500 biggest sales at auction in the books-and-paper field last year. Even among more recently published works, a 2018 study found, titles by women are on average priced 45% lower than books by men. In recent years, calls have gone out to read only books by women for a year and for universities to expand their curriculums(课程). The observance of Women’s History Month in the U.S. has also made March a time for publishers to suggest fitting reading lists. Devers’ shop is the physical site of that movement challenging the current situation. “We’ve been taught to find value in something really narrow,” she says. “It’s time to explore something different.” 32. The first paragraph tells the readers _________. A. why Devers named her shop the Second Shelf B. what motivated Devers to open the Second Shelf C. how Devers was exposed to rare book trade D. where Devers first came across women’s literary works 33. The underlined word “eclipse” in the fourth paragraph means_________. A. fully exposed B. seriously treated C. partially hidden D. roughly explained 34. Which may explain the absence of the great literary works by women? A. The majority of male readers don’t read modern fiction. B. Women writers’ ideas conflict with the bookdealers’. C. Males tend to be productive in the creative industry. D. The trade used to be dominated by men. 35. What can be inferred from the passage? A. More physical bookstores are in urgent need. B. Women’s History Month has pushed women writers to be more productive. C. The Second Shelf is helping turn a page for women in literature. D. In recent years, university curriculums have emphasized books by women. 第二节（共5题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 People say fortune favors the brave, but taking a leap is easier said than done. ___36___ ●Embrace strategic risk. One of the biggest misconceptions about risk-taking is that if something feels uncomfortable, it’s a sign to back away. But researches have taught us this: ___37___ Ask yourself, “Does this risk match my values? Is it moving me toward something I care about?” If yes, expect some embarrassment. The biggest payoffs live just past that initial awkward phase. ● ___38___ Many of us have grown too afraid of taking risks — maybe because one risk made us embarrassed. A good way to feel less scared of risks is to ask yourself: “What’s one small thing I can do to get used to not knowing what will happen?” Start with bite-size, winnable risks, like speaking up in a meeting, volunteering for a project slightly outside your wheelhouse. ●Breathe in bravery. Breathe out fear. ___39___ In other words, taking a few deep breaths helps regulate anxiety. Another easy way to stretch your risk-taking muscles is by copying someone you admire. Imagine them in your shoes and how they'd approach your challenge. How would they talk, walk or hold themselves? Even standing tall sends a signal to your brain that “you’ve got this”. ●Forgive yourself. We all have moments when we don't do the thing that will help us grow. And that’s okay! Instead of beating yourself up, forgive yourself because you’re human. ___40___ Being kind to yourself may just be the best way to step forward toward a braver version of yourself. A. Enjoy small wins. B. Overcome unexpected fears. C. Our body impacts our mind. D. No one is courageous all the time. E. Humans always have high expectations. F. Bravery and awkwardness are sisters in life. G. The following tips will help you outsmart fear. 第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 完型填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 请认真阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 I grew up in the era before Wi-Fi and entered midlife during the panicky present. My first novel was a best seller when I was in my mid-30s. 41._______, as tech pushed its way in, I watched contemporary fiction lose relevance (相关性) each other. Or maybe it was just my novels. Anyway, I had decades more. Could I become something else? Last year, in my late 40s, I began a master’s program alongside 20-somethings at the London School of Economics to study the science of behavioral change. This 42._______ from writer to student proved confusing more than I’d expected. It lifted me up, yet tested my 43._______ . While my classmates worried about finding jobs, I enjoyed my year-long 44._______ from employment. It was 45._________ --- a welcome relief from my usual diet of newsletters, podcasts and tweets. Here were winding sentences that forced me to shoulder through complexity--- holding my breath until I finally 46._______ with understanding. Life rushed toward me again. It was like traveling to a new country where imagination isn't needed, just attention. However, I 47._______ inwardly. Certain professors seemed mistrustful of a student my age. Certain classmates fell silent in front of someone as old as their parents. I'd forget myself, debating and discussing with 48._______ faces, only to catch sight of myself in the mirror: gray stubble(胡茬), an aging face. What am I doing here? I've always admired those who bravely make a(n) 49._______ . In my experience, they tended to be women who bravely switched to something unfamiliar in midlife, while men with graying hair - even when full of regret - seemed 50._______, as if change felt like failure. I came to realize I wasn't so different. Like those men, I had tied my dignity to my occupation (职业). Technology keeps 51._______ what we took as permanent (永恒的), and hard-earned skills are irrelevant in a blink. Holding on to who you were can feel suffocating(令人窒息的), but letting go is painful. Status (地位) is like clothing--- superficial (肤浅的)，but one’s 52._________ depends on it. I suspect that many people will struggle with this during the coming Al transformation, which may replace jobs and even 53._________ entire occupations. But these changes also present us with an opportunity: to 54._______ the idea that we each must find a(n) 55._______, then hold on to that identity or admit failure. Perhaps the dignified life involves several versions of you. 41.A.However B.Therefore C.Furthermore D.Otherwise 42.A.restriction B.shift C.alternative D.correction 43.A.pride B.knowledge C.resistance D.recognition 44.A.engagement B.acceptance C.escape D.disability 45.A.touching B.funny C.boring D.exciting 46.A.surfaced B.disappeared C.delayed D.fought 47.A.ignored B.struggled C.succeeded D.enjoyed 48.A.puzzled B.mature C.absent D.young 49.A.repetition B.routine C.review D.change 50.A.flexible B.academic C.stuck D.adventurous 51.A.pushing aside B.setting aside C.stepping up D.holding up 52.A.resolution B.wealth C.dignity D.statue 53.A.finance B.remove C.maintain D.fuel 54.A.put forward B.stick to C.get rid of D.back up 55.A.calling B.sample C.instruction D.demand 第二节（共10题；每题1.5分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 A novel reagent (试剂) kit for early lung cancer detection, ______56______(develop) by researchers from the Hangzhou Institute of Medicine under the Chinese Academy of Sciences, has received Class III medical device registration from China’s National Medical Products Administration.

Current diagnostic methods, ______61______(include) CT imaging, sputum cytology, and conventional tumor antigen markers, usually lack sensitivity, _____62______ makes them unsuitable for early screening (筛查).

One warm spring day, a little dog followed them home after school. It had short legs and long lovely ears, with a fawn-colored coat. It was the cutest dog I had ever seen and the girls begged me to keep it. The dog was barely twelve weeks old. It had no collar or identifying marks of any sort. I didn’t know what to do. I thought about running an advertisement in the lost-and-found but I really didn’t want to. It would break the kids’ hearts if someone should show up. Besides, its owners should have watched it more closely. By the end of the week the dog was part of our family. It was very intelligent and good with the girls. The following week something told me to check the lost-and-found section in the local paper. One particular advertisement jumped out at me and my heart pounded with fear at what I read. Someone was begging for the return of a lost dog in the neighborhood of our grade school. They sounded desperate. My hand shook. I couldn’t bring myself to pick up the phone. Instead, I pretended I hadn’t seen the advertisement. I quickly put paper away in the drawer and continued with my dusting. I never said a word about it to the kids or my husband. By now we had named the dog Molly. It followed the girls everywhere they went. When they went outside, it was one step behind them. When they did housework, it was there to lend a hand. There was only one problem with this otherwise perfect picture: my conscience (良心) was bothering me. I knew in my heart I had to call that number and see if our Molly was the dog they were desperately seeking. It was the most difficult thing I’ve ever done. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 With mixed feelings, I finally picked up the phone._____________________ __________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________ I asked the woman to come in and she quickly bent over and hugged Molly tightly.____________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________ 高二期中测试（英语） 第 9 页 共 12 页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高二第一学期期末（英语）答案 一、听力 1.

As a loyal visitor and a fan of English reading, I am writing to express my ideas about possible ways to increase student engagement in the library. First, the reading room's opening hours often clash with students' schedules, making it difficult for many students to visit. Secondly, while the collection largely consists of classical literature, it lacks contemporary and engaging materials. This limitation may not align with students' interests, and the reading room cannot provide tech-integrated learning experiences. To address these issues, I provide the following solutions. Adjusting the opening time to include after-school hours and weekends will allow boarding students to utilize the reading room for self-study, while others should be encouraged to visit during recess. In addition, renewing the book selection with recent publications and multimedia resources using AI tools would attract more students. Thank you for considering the above suggestions, and I sincerely hope that the room will become a cherished resource for all students as a result of these changes. Yours, Li Hua 第2节 读后续写 With mixed feelings, I finally picked up the phone. Anxious yet determined(adj做主语补语), I dialed the number, my fingers trembling slightly(独立主格刻画人物). It didn’t take long before a young woman’s voice came through the receiver. No sooner had she heard my detailed description of the fawn-colored puppy than she choked up, insisting on(现在分词短语做伴随动作) coming over at once. Thirty minutes later, the doorbell rang(无灵主语句), with Molly’s excited barks echoing through the house(with复合结构). Reluctant though/as I was(倒装句), I opened the door, forcing myself to face the moment of goodbye(现在分词短语做伴随动作). I asked the woman to come in and she quickly bent over and hugged Molly tightly. Tears of joy streamed down her face(人物刻画) as Molly licked her cheeks. The girls, who had been peeking from behind the sofa, stepped out slowly, their eyes glistening with tears(独立主格刻画人物). Much to our relief, the woman promised she would bring Molly to our home at weekends. Before they left, the woman extended her heartfelt gratitude. This experience served as a constant reminder(无灵主语句) that doing the right thing — even when it hurts — brings the peace(同位从) that comes from following our conscience. 听力文稿 (Text 1) W: I’m looking for something to wear at a wedding.

You’ve been working every weekend for the past two months and you really deserve time off. W: Well, if I didn’t have to work on the final design of the new library, I’d ask my boss for a long vacation. 听下面一段对话，回答第10至第12三个小题。现在，你有15秒钟的时间阅读这三个小题。 (Text 8) W: I didn’t see you at Mike’s party last Friday, Nick. M: I had an accident at home, Diana. W: What happened? M: As I was going to the kitchen to get the bottle of wine I had bought for the party, I didn’t see the cat in front of me until the last second. W: You stepped on the cat? Or tripped over it? M: I managed to avoid injuring the cat, but I ended up on the floor with an injured knee. W: Oh, did you go to the hospital? M: Fortunately, my sister is training to be a nurse and she understood that my leg wasn’t broken, so I didn’t have to go to the hospital. She didn’t get back to her own apartment and took care of me over the weekend. Fortunately, I was well enough to walk on Monday. 听下面一段对话，回答第13至第16四个小题。现在，你有20秒钟的时间阅读这四个小题。 (Text 9) M: So, how’s your very first week at university going, Rita? W: It’s great fun — there are so many different events going on to help us make friends and find our way around the university. And to get around the city! But you’ll remember all that. You were a new student once! M: That’s true. I remember I went on a walking tour of the city on my first day. W: Well, I did a bike tour. When I decided to sign up, there were seven other names on the list already, and I was lucky I got the very last place. M: I didn’t know you bought a bike. Or did you borrow one? W: I don’t have a bike. We all hired them from a little cycle hire shop — we could choose a traditional bike or an electric one. M: So I take it you went electric! W: Yes, of course we all did! And the cycle hire was only $120 for the whole group and that was for three whole hours! M: Sounds good.  听下面一段独白，回答第17至第20四个小题。现在，你有20秒钟的时间阅读这四个小题。 (Text 10) W: Welcome to the library and now, I’d like to tell you a bit about an excellent service offered in the library here that we call the Special Classes. What can you do in them? For a start, many of you need practice in speaking English. And for that we hold a special Activity Time, led by a teacher. That can be noisy, in fact, we hope that it is noisy, since that would mean many people are talking. It’s in the Central Seating area, and it used to be from 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., but we found that the noise was disturbing the regular users, so we shortened and moved this discussion to the morning, starting at 9 a.m., when fewer people are in the center. It goes for one and a half hours. Alright, what about Writing Skills? Well, we can help you there with another teacher. Now, writing is a fairly quiet activity, so that teacher stations him or herself in the Quiet Reading area from 1:30 until three. The 10:30-to-midday time period cannot have a teacher for such writing skills, as they are all teaching in the morning. 1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
