This week: The film The Shadow Strays, the memoir Ephemera, and Rachel Bloom’s Death, Let Me Do My Special. We watch classic movies for the first time October 22, 2024·We’ve all been there. A major movie is mentioned, you shrug, shyly, and someone says, “I can’t believe you’ve never seen that!” Today, we make a selection in our own lists of classic films we somehow had not yet gotten to, including Erin Brockovich, Flower Drum Song, Enter the Dragon and Raging Bull. Lin-Manuel Miranda’s new musical is based on a popular movie — and is for your ears only October 18, 2024·A new concept album from the creator of Hamilton sets a classic film to a starry hiphop, rock and Broadway soundtrack.

Is ‘Saturday Night’ ready for the first time? October 11, 2024·The new film Saturday Night attempts to capture the messy 90 minutes leading up to the very first broadcast of Saturday Night Live. Untried producer Lorne Michaels and his cast of complete unknowns prepare to make television history. 21. What is special about the Pop Culture Happy Hour on October 18? A. It’s taken from Hamilton.

This wasn’t always the case: Early roller coasters and other rides were uncomfortable at best, and dangerous at worst. One pioneer to the roller coaster were the Ice Slides — hills constructed of wood and ice — found in Russia in the 16th century. After an exhausting climb up a set of stairs, riders would dash down the slope (坡) on a block of ice with a pile of straw as the seat. Fun! In the early 1800s, a wheeled version made its way to France, making it more similar to modern roller coasters. Except that the wheels would often come off and the cars wouldn’t stop at the bottom of the hill. Less fun! Coasters only got more dangerous in the next century. Consider the infamous Coney Island Rough Riders roller coaster, which killed seven people in a five-year span from 1910 to 1915 before it was shut down. The coaster was an honor to Theodore Roosevelt and his “Rough Riders,” the soldiers who fought in the Spanish-American War. But the coaster was almost as dangerous as Battle of San Juan Hill: According to PBS, in one accident, the speeding coaster threw off 16 people, killing four. In another accident, the coaster jumped the track and caused three deaths. One woman survived the dangerous hanging from a rail with one hand, holding her child with the other hand. Another great place to get injured was New Jersey’s Action Park, which did its damage from 1978 to 1996 before closing. How bad was Action Park? A few years ago, my New Jersey-born wife got an email that said “You know you’re from New Jersey when ... you’ve been seriously injured at Action Park.” 24. How does the author introduce the topic of the text? A. By making a contrast. B. By asking a question. C. By giving a definition. D. By offering a suggestion. 25. What was the first roller coaster made of? A. Wood and ice. B. Metal wheels. C. Grass and stone. D. Soldiers’ weapons. 26. What was Coney Island Rough Riders built for? A. Testing the challenge of the ride. B. Remembering a historical event. C. Celebrating a woman’s survival. D. Recording a bloody Spanish battle. 27. What is the tone of the author’s description? A. Uncertain. B. Cautious. C. Angry. D. Humorous. C Recently, a young man in his 20s from Beijing has chosen to serve as a “shared son” for the parents of strangers. Like many of his peers, he has signed a mutual (相互的) assistance agreement. It is designed to help each other’s parents when they are out and about by themselves. This type of agreement has now become a social media trend. The young are inspired by concerns that their parents may encounter different challenges during their outings. In the digital age, tasks that young people can complete in minutes can leave some middle-aged and old people awkward around, like scanning QR codes, ordering meals online, booking tickets for scenic spots or entering railway stations. Some people have voiced opposition to the idea of performing good deeds based on signed agreements. Lending seniors a helping hand is a traditional virtue in China. Popular opinion holds that everyone has a responsibility to step up to the plate when they see an elderly person in need. While help from strangers based on online agreements can be beneficial, we must address the growing anxiety causing these agreements against the situation of a rapidly aging population. As of late 2023, the population of those aged 60 and above in China had reached 297 million. It will account for 21.1 percent of the total population. The mutual assistance agreement is very helpful in this regard. It allows seniors to better adapt to the pace of modern life and enjoy the conveniences modern technologies bring. They can also feel the warmth and care from young people and society at large. The agreement is signed on a voluntary basis and each individual has their specific responsibilities. The young people offering help gain an enhanced sense of responsibility and a strong motivation to see tasks all the way through. For the seniors’ children, knowing their parents are surrounded by helpful young people brings relief and comfort. 28. What has the digital age brought to the old? A. Different entertainment choices. B. Additional indoor opportunities. C. Varied activities in the open air. D. Some inconveniences in daily life. 29. Why do some people go against the “shared son” practice? A. It can limit people’s choices. B. It can increase seniors’ burdens. C. It can weaken traditional values. D. It can cause family conflicts. 30. What does the author think of this type of agreement? A. Strange and useless. B. Creative and demanding. C. Practical and positive. D. Challenging and ineffective. 31. What might be the best title of the passage? A. Bridging Generations B. Reliving Loneliness C. Expecting Assistance D. Taking Responsibilities D From improving focus to strengthening cognitive (认知的) pathways, handwriting offers neurological (神经学上) benefits that modern technology can’t bring. Think back to the last time you wrote down a quick note or made a grocery list. Chances are that it wasn’t with pen and paper. Over the past decade, keyboards and screens have quietly replaced handwriting in our daily routines, from classrooms to office meetings. Some schools around the world have even stopped teaching cursive (连笔) altogether. Yet, research shows that putting pen to paper offers cognitive benefits that digital tools can’t produce. “Statistically most studies on the relationship between handwriting and memory, including ones conducted in Japan, Norway and the United States, show that people are better at remembering things that they have written down, manually than on a computer,” says Naomi Susan Baron, professor of linguistics at American University in Washington D.C. From improved memory storage to enhanced learning outcomes, here’s how maintaining the art of handwriting can significantly impact how we absorb and keep information. The benefits of writing by hand can partly be attributed to the engagement of different senses in the writing process. “Holding a pen with our fingers, pressing it on a surface, and moving our hands to create letters and words is a complex skill that requires a lot of our attention,” says Mellissa Prunty, who has researched the relationship between handwriting and learning. “This deeper level of processing, which involves mapping sounds to letter formations, has been shown to support reading and spelling in children,” Prunty says. Adults also benefit from the labor-intensive nature of handwriting. A study involving 42 adults learning Arabic found that participants who learned letters by writing them down by hand were quicker to recognize them, had an easier time naming them, and were better at sounding the newly learned letters out compared with people learning by typing or by just looking at them. 32. What does Paragraph 2 mainly focus on about handwriting? A. Its method of usage. B. Its connection to life. C. Its present situation. D. Its previous advantages. 33. What does the underlined phrase “be attributed to” mean in paragraph 4? A. Figure out. B. Get into. C. Refer to. D. Result from. 34. What does the author intend to explain in Paragraph 5? A. How our brain processes information. B. Why handwriting helps us learn better. C. How we can improve reading and spelling. D. Why sounds and letter formations are related. 35. What can we infer from the passage? A. Handwriting still matters a lot in the digital age. B. We can do without handwriting in the near future. C. Children rely on electronic tools more than adults. D. Digital learning does a better job than handwriting. 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 new survey published in July provides fresh ideas into the emotional landscape of today’s Gen Z youth. Conducted by teen psychologist Damour, her group surveyed 1,675 children aged 10 to 18. 36 . Parents can help kids get through the growth by understanding their feelings and finding ways to better support them. Remind your teen they don’t have to be perfect About one in three Gen Zers struggle with perfectionism. The study found that those who say they need to be perfect were “more likely than those who do not feel that pressure to say they felt anxious, sad and stressed a lot”. 37 . Tell them that “While we are working on our shortcomings, we still can feel we are good and worthy.” Talk to your teen — They want to hear from you About one in six parents struggle to comfort their children or communicate with them when they are upset. They assume that their teens don’t want to talk to them. “But what we heard from teenagers is how helpful these conversations are,” says Damour. “So my advice to parents is to go ahead and have a conversation about your worries.” If you’re not sure what to do, just listen, she says. 38 : What can adults do to be helpful when you’re upset? 39 Nearly all the children surveyed said they “felt happiness a lot,” but 45% also felt stressed, 38% anxious and 23% sad. “The point here is that kids have lots of moods, good and bad,” says Damour. In general, teens have more intense emotions. But it’s not a sign that anything is wrong. It’s a sign of forward development. Kids already have great coping skills that they turn to comfort themselves. 40 . A. It’s what we do with them that counts B. Be OK with your kids’ ups and downs of emotions C. Help your teens get comfortable with making mistakes D. That was the No.1 response when Damour asked the teens E. Look for natural openings in daily conversation to bring up concerns F. It found they felt pressure for perfect and negative emotions like anxiety G. Parents should only worry “if they’re using the strategies that are harmful” 第三部分 语言知识运用 (共两节，满分30分) 第一节 完形填空 (共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 “Daddy, how much do you make an hour?” With a shy voice and eager eyes, the little boy 41 his father as he returned from work.

The government of Nepal has tried many different ways of 57 (get) the visitors to clean up after themselves, including ruling that climbers have to collect and carry out 18 pounds of garbage every time they visit or pay a huge fine.

He walked with a sad look on his face when he, with some difficulty, boarded the bus and sat down alone behind the driver. No one ever paid very much attention to him. Then one July morning he said good morning to the driver and smiled short-sightedly down through the bus before he sat down. The driver nodded guardedly. The rest of us were silent. The next day, the old man boarded the bus energetically, smiled and said in a loud voice: “And a very good morning to you all!” Some of us looked up, amazed, and murmured “Good morning,” in reply. The following weeks we noticed our friend was now dressed in a nice old suit and a wide out-of-date tie. The thin hair had been carefully combed. He said good morning to us every day and we gradually began to nod and talk to each other. One morning he had a bunch of wild flowers in his hand. They were already fading a little because of the heat. The driver turned around smilingly and asked: “Have you got yourself a girlfriend, Charlie?” We never got to know if his name really was “Charlie”, but he shook his head shyly and said no. The other passengers whispered but believed he did it for a good purpose. Charlie bowed and waved the flowers before he sat down on his seat. Every morning after that, Charlie always brought a flower. Some of the regular passengers began bringing him flowers for his bunch, gently nudged him and said shyly: “Here.” Everyone smiled. The men started to joke about it, talk to each other, and share the newspaper. The summer went by, and autumn was closing in, when one morning Charlie wasn’t waiting at his usual stop. When he wasn’t there the next day and the day after that, we started wondering if he was sick or — hopefully — on holiday somewhere. 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。 Paragraph 1: When we got nearer to the senior citizen center, one of the passengers asked the driver to wait. Paragraph 2: Knowing Charlie’s story, all the passengers on the bus burst into a thunder of applause.

Coasters only got more dangerous in the next century.Consider the infamous Coney Island Rough Riders roller coaster,which killed seven people in a five-year span from 1910 to 1915 before it was shut down.The coaster was an honor to Theodore Roosevelt and his "Rough Riders,"the soldiers who fought in the Spanish-American War.But the coaster was almost as dangerous as Battle of San Juan Hill:According to PBS,in one accident,the speeding coaster threw off 16 people,killing four.In another accident,the coaster jumped the track and caused three deaths.One woman survived the dangerous hanging from a rail with one hand,holding her child with the other hand. Another great place to get injured was New Jersey's Action Park,which did its damage from 1978 to 1996 before closing.How bad was Action Park?A few years ago,my New Jersey-born wife got an email that said"You know you're from New Jersey when...you've been seriously injured at Action Park." 24.How does the author introduce the topic of the text? A.By making a contrast. B.By asking a question. C.By giving a definition. D.By offering a suggestion. 25.What was the first roller coaster made of? A.Wood and ice. B.Metal wheels. C.Grass and stone. D.Soldiers'weapons. 26.What was Coney Island Rough Riders built for? A.Testing the challenge of the ride. B.Remembering a historical event C.Celebrating a woman's survival. D.Recording a bloody Spanish battle. 27.What is the tone of the author's description? A.Uncertain. B.Cautious C.Angry D.Humorous. 高二上·英语第4页共10页 C Recently,a young man in his 20s from Beijing has chosen to serve as a"shared son"for the parents of strangers.Like many of his peers,he has signed a mutual assistance agreement.It is designed to help each other's parents when they are out and about by themselves.This type of agreement has now become a social media trend. The young are inspired by concerns that their parents may encounter different challenges during their outings.In the digital age,tasks that young people can complete in minutes can leave some middle-aged and old people awkward around,like scanning QR codes,ordering meals online,booking tickets for scenic spots or entering railway stations. Some people have voiced opposition to the idea of performing good deeds based on signed agreements.Lending seniors a helping hand is a traditional virtue in China.Popular opinion holds that everyone has a responsibility to step up to the plate when they see an elderly person in need.While help from strangers based on online agreements can be beneficial,we must address the growing anxiety causing these agreements against the situation of a rapidly aging population. As of late 2023,the population of those aged 60 and above in China had reached 297 million.It will account for 21.1 percent of the total population.The mutual assistance agreement is very helpful in this regard.It allows seniors to better adapt to the pace of modern life and enjoy the conveniences modern technologies bring.They can also feel the warmth and care from young people and society at large. The agreement is signed on a voluntary basis and each individual has their specific responsibilities.The young people offering help gain an enhanced sense of responsibility and a strong motivation to see tasks all the way through.For the seniors'children,knowing their parents are surrounded by helpful young people brings relief and comfort. 28.What has the digital age brought to the old? A.Different entertainment choices. B.Additional indoor opportunities. C.Varied activities in the open air. D.Some inconveniences in daily life. 29.Why do some people go against the"shared son"practice? A.It can limit people's choices. B.It can increase seniors'burdens. C.It can weaken traditional values. D.It can cause family conflicts. 30.What does the author think of this type of agreement? A.Strange and useless. B.Creative and demanding C.Practical and positive. D.Challenging and ineffective. 31.What might be the best title of the passage? A.Bridging Generations B.Reliving Loneliness C.Expecting Assistance D.Taking Responsibilities 高二上·英语第5页共10页 D From improving focus to strengthening cognitive (pathways,handwriting offers neurological(神经学上)benefits that modern technology can't bring. Think back to the last time you wrote down a quick note or made a grocery list.Chances are that it wasn't with pen and paper.Over the past decade,keyboards and screens have quietly replaced handwriting in our daily routines,from classrooms to office meetings.Some schools around the world have even stopped teaching cursive (altogether. Yet,research shows that putting pen to paper offers cognitive benefits that digital tools can't produce."Statistically most studies on the relationship between handwriting and memory,including ones conducted in Japan,Norway and the United States,show that people are better at remembering things that they have written down,manually than on a computer,"says Naomi Susan Baron, professor of linguistics at American University in Washington D.C.From improved memory storage to enhanced learning outcomes,here's how maintaining the art of handwriting can significantly impact how we absorb and keep information. The benefits of writing by hand can partly be attributed to the engagement of different senses in the writing process. "Holding a pen with our fingers,pressing it on a surface,and moving our hands to create letters and words is a complex skill that requires a lot of our attention,"says Mellissa Prunty,who has researched the relationship between handwriting and learning."This deeper level of processing, which involves mapping sounds to letter formations,has been shown to support reading and spelling in children,"Prunty says. Adults also benefit from the labor-intensive nature of handwriting.A study involving 42 adults learning Arabic found that participants who learned letters by writing them down by hand were quicker to recognize them,had an easier time naming them,and were better at sounding the newly learned letters out compared with people learning by typing or by just looking at them. 32.What does Paragraph 2 mainly focus on about handwriting? A.Its method of usage. B.Its connection to life. C.Its present situation. D.Its previous advantages. 33.What does the underlined phrase"be attributed to"mean in paragraph 4? A.Figure out. B.Get into. C.Refer to. D.Result from. 34.What does the author intend to explain in Paragraph 5? A.How our brain processes information. B.Why handwriting helps us learn better. C.How we can improve reading and spelling. D.Why sounds and letter formations are related. 高二上·英语第6页共10页 35.What can we infer from the passage? A.Handwriting still matters a lot in the digital age. B.We can do without handwriting in the near future. C.Children rely on electronic tools more than adults. D.Digital learning does a better job than handwriting. 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 new survey published in July provides fresh ideas into the emotional landscape of today's Gen Z youth.Conducted by teen psychologist Damour,her group surveyed 1,675 children aged 10 to 18.36.Parents can help kids get through the growth by understanding their feelings and finding ways to better support them. Remind your teen they don't have to be perfect About one in three Gen Zers struggle with perfectionism.The study found that those who say they need to be perfect were "more likely than those who do not feel that pressure to say they felt anxious,sad and stressed a lot".37.Tell them that"While we are working on our shortcomings,we still can feel we are good and worthy." Talk to your teen They want to hear from you About one in six parents struggle to comfort their children or communicate with them when they are upset.They assume that their teens don't want to talk to them."But what we heard from teenagers is how helpful these conversations are,"says Damour."So my advice to parents is to go ahead and have a conversation about your worries."If you're not sure what to do,just listen,she says.38:What can adults do to be helpful when you're upset? 39 Nearly all the children surveyed said they "felt happiness a lot,"but 45%also felt stressed, 38%anxious and 23%sad."The point here is that kids have lots of moods,good and bad,"says Damour.In general,teens have more intense emotions.But it's not a sign that anything is wrong. It's a sign of forward development.Kids already have great coping skills that they turn to comfort themselves.40. A.It's what we do with them that counts B.Be OK with your kids'ups and downs of emotions C.Help your teens get comfortable with making mistakes D.That was the No.1 response when Damour asked the teens E.Look for natural openings in daily conversation to bring up concerns F.It found they felt pressure for perfect and negative emotions like anxiety G.Parents should only worry"if they're using the strategies that are harmful" 高二上·英语第7页共10页 第三部分语言知识运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的 最佳选项。 "Daddy,how much do you make an hour?"With a shy voice and eager eyes,the little boy 41 his father as he returned from work.

Then one July morning he said good morning to the driver and smiled short-sightedly down through the bus before he sat down.The driver nodded guardedly.The rest of us were silent. The next day,the old man boarded the bus energetically,smiled and said in a loud voice:"And a very good morning to you all!"Some of us looked up,amazed,and murmuredGood morning,"in reply. The following weeks we noticed our friend was now dressed in a nice old suit and a wide out-of-date tie.The thin hair had been carefully combed.He said good morning to us every day and we gradually began to nod and talk to each other. One morning he had a bunch of wild flowers in his hand.They were already fading a little because of the heat.The driver turned around smilingly and asked:"Have you got yourself a girlfriend,Charlie?We never got to know if his name really was"Charlie",but he shook his head shyly and said no. The other passengers whispered but believed he did it for a good purpose.Charlie bowed and waved the flowers before he sat down on his seat. Every morning after that,Charlie always brought a flower.Some of the regular passengers began bringing him flowers for his bunch,gently nudged him and said shyly:"Here."Everyone smiled.The men started to joke about it,talk to each other,and share the newspaper. The summer went by,and autumn was closing in,when one morning Charlie wasn't waiting at his usual stop.When he wasn't there the next day and the day after that,we started wondering if he was sick or-hopefully-on holiday somewhere. 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。 Paragraph 1: When we got nearer to the senior citizen center,one ofthe passengers asked the driver to wait Paragraph 2: Knowing Charlie 's story,all the passengers on the bus burst into a thunder ofapplause. 高二上·英语第10页共10页泸州市高2023级高二上学期末统一考试英语参考答案 第一部分听力（满分30分，每小题1.5分） 1-5 CCAAC 6-10 CBCBA 11-15 CBBAB 16-20 ABACB 第二部分阅读理解（满分50分，每小题2.5分） 21-25 BDBAA 26-30 BDDCC 31-35 ACDBA 36-40 FCDBG 第三部分语言知识运用（满分30分） 第一节完形填空（满分15分，每小题1分） 41-45 BADDC 46-50 BABCA 51-55 DBCDC 第二节语法填空（满分15分，每小题1.5分） 56.tons 57.getting 58.to carry 59.from 60.and 61.were buried 62.a 63.successful 64.who that 65.Certainly 第四部分写作（满分40分） 第一节应用文写作（满分15分） Dear Joan, I'm writing to talk about a book I shared in a recent school reading event.The book is"Red Star Over China"which features Mao Zedong and other great leaders.It vividly describes Mao Zedong's leadership in the difficult revolutionary journey.It shows his profound insights,strong determination and unique personal qualities.Reading this book allows us to understand how he led the Chinese people to strive for national independence and people's liberation.It is an inspiring account that reveals the remarkable wisdom and great sacrifice in that extraordinary era Attending the English reading event was a delightful experience.It broadened my horizons,deepened my love for books,and offered a chance to share ideas with fellow readers.

Teamwork and meetings can also be pretty challenging despite all the modern technology we have!For me,the main problem is finding a balance between work and my personal life.When your office is in your house,it's very easy to find yourself working all the time.I have to be very strict with myself and close my office door at the end of the day.Still,I wouldn't change it for the world! 高二上·英语参考答案第2页共2页 泸州市高2023级高二上学期末统一考试英语参考答案 第一部分 听力（满分30分，每小题1.5分） 1-5 CCAAC 6-10 CBCBA 11-15 CBBAB 16-20 ABACB 第二部分 阅读理解（满分50分，每小题2.5分） 21-25 BDBAA 26-30 BDDCC 31-35 ACDBA 36-40 FCDBG 第三部分 语言知识运用（满分30分） 第一节 完形填空（满分15分，每小题1分） 41-45 BADDC 46-50 BABCA 51-55 DBCDC 第二节 语法填空（满分15分，每小题1.5分） 56. tons 57. getting 58. to carry 59. from 60. and 61. were buried 62. a 63. successful 64. who / that 65.

What is it called? M: It’s a white-tailed flycatcher. W: Are they very unusual? M: Not really. But you don’t see many in this part of China. They’re quite common in Vietnam, though. W: Have you ever seen one before? M: I’ve seen a male. I took a bus tour through India before I went to college, and I managed to photograph it. W: Wow, cool! M: But I’d love to see a female. They’re much harder to see because their bodies are light brown. The males are bright blue. Oh! It’s 5:00 p.m. now, and I promised I’d be home before 7:00 p.m. W: I can give you a lift, so you don’t need to wait for a bus. How about staying for another 30 minutes, and then head home? M: Good plan. Thanks. Text 10 I’ve been working from home for almost ten years now. I chose to work in this way soon after the birth of my oldest daughter, because I wanted more time with children. At first, my company only allowed me to work from home three days a week. However, I can work at home almost all the time nowadays, and only go into the office for important meetings. Home working has been great for me. The best thing is that I feel much less stressed. It’s also easier to focus on what I’m doing. And not having to travel to and from the office saves me both money and time. However, home working isn’t suitable for everybody. I’m personally very independent, but sometimes people would feel pretty lonely without co-workers. Teamwork and meetings can also be pretty challenging despite all the modern technology we have! For me, the main problem is finding a balance between work and my personal life. When your office is in your house, it’s very easy to find yourself working all the time. I have to be very strict with myself and close my office door at the end of the day. Still, I wouldn’t change it for the world!
