Since the beginning of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games,many exciting and 西安中学高二年级英语试题第5页（共12页） unforgettable moments have been shared by athletes and audiences worldwide.We have cheered for victories and comforted those who fell short.But beyond the triumphs and defeats,there is something more to admire. On Aug 4,21-year-old Zheng Qinwen made history for Chinese tennis by winning the frst gold medal in women's singles for both China and Asia.Just the following day, the young Chinese swimming team ended the US's decades long unbeaten period in the men's 4x100m relay,finishing in 3 minutes and 27.46 seconds.By winning gold medals in .events once dominated by Western athletes,these young competitors have demonstrated a remarkable improvement in China's competitive sports landscape. Equally inspiring is the positive mindset exhibited by these young athletes.They are iconfident and inclusive striving for excellence and breakthrough performances. Moreover,they have moved away from the "gold medal only"mentality,embracing a more composed and rational (approach to sports.From 18-year-old BMX freestyle cyclist Deng Yawen to 26-year-old swimmer Zhang Yufei,many young athletes have attracted global audiences with their self-assured approach to competition.They genuinely enjoy competing.When Zhang,China's "butterfly queen",missed out on a gold medal,she said,"I hope this time I can have a relaxed attitude and really enjoy the Olympics.” This shift in mindset and demeanor has moved the public focus away from just winning gold medals to appreciating the respect and glory that athletes and the Olympics truly deserve.Success is the goal,but they remain equally graceful in the face of failure, embodying the deep integration of Chinese values with the Olympic spirit.It's not just about being faster,higher,stronger,but also about embracing sports with a positive attitude. 28.What does the underlined phrase mean in paragraph 2?

And they are as clear as glass.How does an animal become see-through?It's trickier than you might think. The objects around you are visible because they interact with light.Light typically travels in a straight line.But some materials slow and scatter()light,bouncing it away from its original path.Others absorb light,stopping it gead in its tracks.Both scattering and absorption make an object look different from other objects around it,so you can see it easily. But a transparent object doesn't absorb or scatter light,at least not very much.Light can pass through it without bending or stopping.That means a transparent object doesn't look very different from the surrounding air or water.You don't see it-you see the things behind it. To become transparent,an animal needs to keep its body from absorbing or soattering light.Living materials can stop light because they oontain pigments()that absorb specific colors of light.But a transparent animal doesn't have pigments,so its tissues won't absorb light.According to Johnsen,avoiding absorption is actually easy. The real challenge is preventing light from scattering. Animals are built of many different materials-skin,fat,and more-and light moves through each at a different speed.Every time light moves into a material with a new 西安中学高二年级英语试题第7页（共12页） speed,it bends and scatters.Transparent animals use different tricks to fight scattering. Some animals are simply very small or extremely flat.Without much tissue to scatter light,it is easier to be see-through.Others build a large,clear mass of non-living jelly-like(果冻状的)material and spread themselves over it.. Larger transparent animals have the biggest challenge,because they have to make all the different tissues in their bodies slow down light exactly as much as water does.They need to look uniform.But how they're doing it is still unknown.One thing is clear:for these larger animals,staying transparent is an active process.When they die,they turn a non-transparent milky white. 32.According to Paragraph 1,transparent animals A.stay in groups B.can be easily damaged C.appear only in deep ocean D.are beautiful creatures 33.The underlined word"dead"in Paragraph 3 means A.silently B.gradually C.regularly D.completely 34.One way for an animal to become transparent is to A.change the direction of light travel B.gather materials to scatter light C.avoid the absorption of light D.grow bigger to stop light 35.The last paragraph tells us that larger transparent animals A.move more slowly in deep water B.stay see-through even after death C.produce more tissues for their survival D.take effective action to reduce light spreading 第二节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5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。 Social media has basically taken over almost everyday life for many people.They like to post videos online to share their life.But sometimes,if you post a video online and your video becomes popular,you may get comments from people who will always find something to complain about.They may spread gossip about you that isn true. Negative comments,if they are mishandled,can affect your reputation and mood.36 First,respond positively and politely.Some people like your video while others don't. 西安中学高二年级英语试题第8页（共12页） No matter how negative the cemment is,it's best for you to give a positive and polite response.37.Don't be angry,and stay calm,which helps you gain the upper hand. Next,moving the conversation out of the public eye and into a private area is usually the best choice.38 instead,leave a comment for them,asking them to contact you to discuss the problem privately.This shows everyone that you are willing to solve the issue. Finally,don't reply if they try to start an argument.Often,keyboard warriors are feeling bad about something in their own lives.32 Avoid being negatively influenced by their comments.You totally have the right to delete anything that should not pe on your social media page. 40 Just laugh them off and let them go.You can't control what other people do.All you can do is keep posting and sharing positive things.When others can see that you are still living a good life,they will be encouraged by you. A.So when should you ignore negative comments? B.Then how should we deal with negative comments? So keep it in mind that their comments have nothing to do with you D.How do you recover from those negative comments on social media? E.However,don't send a direct message to the negative comment makers E.Each comment needs to be considered on the basis of facts and theories. This shows that you care about everyone else on your social media page. 第三部分语言知识运用（共三节，满分35分) 第一节（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。 Over the past 38 years,Mr.Wang has pretended to be someone else many times,and has even learned to 41 different dialects ()leading to him being described as an "Oscar-winning actor".
