FootballFootball, to me, is more than just a game. I have probably learned more valuable lessons from it than from school.When I 11 the team freshman year, I didn’t realize what I was getting into. Even though I had been playing since fourth grade and knew it was hard work，nothing would 12 me for the effort I would put into football that year. We worked all summer in the gym and ran on the track to get in physical and mental shape before the season.We would push our minds by running as hard as we could even if we felt like we were going to pass out. At the beginning, I was immature (不成熟) and only thought of myself, sometimes even 13 up when I was tired or hurting. Then after the third game I had a season-ending 14 . I needed surgery on my arm and at least five months to 15 .Needless to say, I was sidelined for the rest of the season, but this 16 helped me realize that since you never know when your last play will be, you should try your hardest in football and life.After freshman year I decided that I would still give my best 17 . Playing football has taught me so much more than just what my assignments are on a particular play. I have learned to think about 18 first, and realized how important working hard is. Being with all my friends, even 19 and bleeding with them, really made us bond as a ( an ) 20 of hard-working young men who will succeed in life.High-school football is more than just a sport. It is a learning ground for many to 21 their personality and character. One thing my coach always says is, “ 22 that you have just run 100 sprints and a big bear starts chasing you. Are you just going to 23 there and let it attack you because you are too 24 ?” The answer, of course, is no, because you can always keep going even if you think you need to give up. This to me means that you can always control your 25 and effort. So, if you maintain a great attitude and always give whatever you’re doing your besteffort, you will have no regrets.11.

AOnce when I was young and had a loose tooth, I asked my father, a dentist, to look at it. “It needs to be pulled,” he told me. I closed my eyes, scared of the experience. I was still waiting for him to pull it when I heard my father say, “I’m done.” I opened my eyes and saw my tooth in his tissue-covered hand. I hadn’t felt anything, and there was just a bit of blood on the tissues. I thought my father was a magician.The next day at school I told a friend about my father’s remarkable skill s. When I explained that the process hadn’t hurt, my friend called me a liar. He said that when his tooth was pulled, it had hurt a lot. I talked to my father about this and there was not a single mystery left after ray father’s explanation. My tooth had b een ready to be pulled, while my friend’s had not.“I’m going to be a dentist,” I declared. I wanted to follow in the professional footsteps of my father, my uncle and grandmother. My father supported ray ambition, honoring my interest in his profession even when I was young.I was the only kid I knew who was excited about going to the dentist. I was amazed as my father operated machines and leaned over patients’ mouths with a tiny mirror fastened on his head. Once, when my dad was cleaning my mothers teeth, he let me suction the saliva (用管子吸唾液) from her mouth. That was the first time I saw the inside of a human mouth close-up. I stared at the structure of my mom’s teeth, paying close attention and dreaming that one day I would see the same image as a dentist.Years later, the dream of a child has not decreased but actually grown firmer. As time passed, I realized that hard work and effort are necessary to be a dentist, which made my ambition even stronger.26. What happened to the writer when his tooth was being pulled?A. His mouth hurt badly.B. He felt no pain.C. Great courage filled his heart.D. A lot of blood came from his mouth.27. How did the writers father support his ambition?A.

It is located in Dubai, which is in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The Burj khalifa is a skyscraper that has hotels, apartments, restaurants, and office space inside it.The skyscraper is 828 meters tall, and it has more than 160 floors. There is an observation deck on the 124th floor and another one on the 148th floor. From the observation decks, visitors have an incredible view of the city and the Persian Gulf.An architect from the US, named Adrian Smith, designed the building. Smith hasdesigned many famous buildings around the world in places like China, Korea, the UK, Saudi Arabia, and the US. Workers from more than 100 countries helped to build the structure. They included people from India, Pakistan, and the Philippines.It took six years to build the skyscraper. Construction workers began their work in January 2004. First, they had to dig a huge hole in the ground to create the building’s foundation. It took just ove r a year to get the ground ready. The workers started to build the tower in March 2005. More than a year later, in June 2006, the workers reached the 50th level. Seven months after that, they reached the 100th level. By July 2007, the skyscraper had 141 floors and passed the previous tallest building in the world to become the new tallest building. At the lime, the tallest building was Taipei 101. However, the Burj Khalifa did not officially become the world’s tallest building until after it opened two and a half years later. There was a big launch ceremony to celebrate the opening of the building in January 2010.The Buij Khalifa is just one of Dubai’s famous sights. The city has become a popular place for tourists in recent years, and it is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the Middle East. Millions of tourists from around the world visit it every year.29. What can we find inside the Buij Khalifa according to the passage?A. Hotels and skyscrapers.B. The Persian Gulf and hotels.C. Restaurants and cinemas.D. Apartments and office space.30. How many floors does the Buij Khalifa have?A. About 141 floors.B. Less than 124 floors.C. Over 160 floors.D. Around 148 floors.31. When did the workers begin to build the tower of the Burj Khalifa?A. In January 2004.B. In June 2006.C. In March 2005.D. In July 2007.32. We can learn from the passage that .A. the Burj Khalifa is the most famous sight in DubaiB. the opening ceremony of the Buij Khalifa was in January 2010C. only workers from the Philippines helped to build the Buij KhalifaD. the Buij Khalifa is the second tallest man-made structure in the worldCFor decades, common wisdom held that how much we eat and exercise determines our weight. As researchers learned more about the human body, they discovered that what people eat plays an important role in weight gain and loss. This led to a wide range of dietary recommendations (饮食建议). Don’t eat fats. Avoid sugars. Eat protein at every meal.Now researchers are discovering another factor that influences health and weight gain-when we eat. A growing body of evidence finds that the time of day when we consume calories affects weight gain and overall health.The most recent study to support this idea was published this summer in the “Journal of Nutrition”. Data from the study came from broad questionnaires that explore the links between lifestyle, diet and disease.Researchers found that participants who ate three meals a day and snacked between meals tended to gain weight over time, while those who ate one or two meals a day tended to lose weight. What’s more, participants who made breakfast their largest meal were less likely to be overweight compared to those who ate their largest meal at lunch or dinner. Those who ate breakfast were more likely to be a healthy weight compared to those who skipped breakfast.The evidence on the benefits of having a big breakfast is strong enough that the American Heart Association has announced a statement that planning and timing meals and snacks is a healthier way of eating, and likely reduces the risk factors for heart disease. The statement stressed that eating breakfast is helpful in preventing diabetes (糖尿病).“Meal timing may affect health due to its effect on the body’s internal clock,” said Marie Pierre St-Onge, Ph. D., an associate professor of nutritional medicine at Columbia University in New York City. She also explained, that planning meals and snacks can help prevent emotional eating. “Many people find that emotions can cause desire to eat when they are not hungry, which often leads to eating too many caloriesfrom foods that have low nutritional value,” she said.The take-home message here is pretty clear. Breakfast truly may be the most important meal of the day. Consuming more calories in the morning and fewer as the day goes on is an effective way to keep a healthy weight.33. The first paragraph suggests that .A. exercise makes us healthy and eat moreB. if we don’t eat sugars, we will lose w eightC. we should avoid eating protein at every mealD. dietary habits are closely related to our weight34. Researchers found that .A. having breakfast can cure diabetesB. meal times may have an effect on healthC. snacking may reduce the risk of heart diseasesD. eating habits can cure your emotional problems35. What do the underlined words u take-home message” in the last paragraph mean?A. Conclusion.B. Decision.C. Conversation.D. Information.36. The writer of the passage aims to .A. examine the history of breakfast developmentB. stress the benefit of eating dinner and snacksC. explain the importance of breakfastD. promote the idea of healthy food第二部分I.听力理解第三节：（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分）听下面一段对话，完成第1至5五道小题，每小题仅填写了个词。

考试时长90分钟。
考生务必将答案答在答题纸上，在试卷上作答无效。

根据天文测算，2018年冬至的准确时间是12月22日06:22:38。
请回答1~3题。
1．冬至是中国农历的重要节气，地球绕太阳运行到达黄经270度时就为冬至。
但是精确计算地球何时到达这个位置，不仅要计算太阳和地球的运行速度和角度，还要考虑到整个太阳系间其他行星和小天体的引力作用。
这集中反映了①事物间的联系是普遍的无条件的②宇宙是个由种种联系和相互作用交织的集合③应当运用综合的思维方法从整体上把握事物之间的联系④地球与太阳、行星、其他小天体之间的联系具有偶然性A．①② B．①④ C．②③D．③④2．冬至后便开始“数九”，北方民间有贴绘九九消寒图的习俗，例如在白纸上绘制九枝素梅，每枝九朵。
一枝对应一九，一朵对应一天，每天根据天气实况用特定的颜色填充一朵梅花，既是休闲娱乐，也是气象记录。
对此分析正确的是A．冬至习俗世代相传，反映了文化具有继承性B．一方水土一方文化，地域不同决定了文化的本质差别C．悠闲而又实用的生活美学决定着国人的思维方式和生活方式D．九九消寒图流传至今，说明传统习俗对物质生活的影响比精神方面更持久3．冬至怎么过？北方大部分地方讲究全家吃饺子，南方也有吃汤圆“圆圆满满”、吃年糕“年年高”等习俗。
所以有人回答，传统节日无外乎就是“吃吃吃”。
关于节日的“吃吃吃”，下列说法正确的是①“吃文化”和“节日文化”之间没有内在联系，不能混同②“新故相推，日生不滞”，传统节日应与现代中国相对接③传统的节日庆祝方式，能够满足现代社会多样的文化需求④传统习俗所承载的风土人情和道德伦理，是民族文化遗产的一部分A．①③ B．②③C．①④ D．②④4. 唐代诗人杜甫诗云:“天时人事日相催,冬至阳生春又来。

北京市西城区2023-2024学年高二下学期期末考试英语试题一、完形填空Sam was waiting for a taxi at the hospital. He had booked it on the phone after his medical treatment. He’d been suffering from kidney (肾) failure since last year. During this time, he was on the transplant list, but no 1 appeared.Bill was driving to visit a friend when his phone rang with the request for Sam’s ride home. The trip was out of Bill’s way. 2 , he took the order, figuring if the passenger was coming from a hospital, he likely needed a ride.When Sam got into the car, Bill could see he was 3 but in good spirits. As the two set out, they began chatting.“Sam really 4 the car with positive energy,” said Bill, who talked a lot with Sam. He learnt Sam had enjoyed volunteering in the community, but he was doing less because of the treatments. Then Sam revealed he was searching for a kidney donor. Bill 5 he’d be a good donor candidate because he didn’t drink or smoke. Sam agreed, though he didn’t think much of it. Bill, however, couldn’t stop thinking about it.Bill believed in 6 others, so donating a kidney was something always on his mind. Plus, he already liked and respected Sam. When approaching the destination, Bill repeated, “I’d see if I could be a match to give you a kidney.”“I was shocked,” Sam recalled. He was shaking so hard that he could barely write his name when they 7 contact information. Once inside his home, he excitedly told his wife, “The taxi driver offered his kidney to me!”After the initial excitement, Sam started feeling less 8 , wondering if it had just been an emotional moment. Would he hear from him?But Bill was 9 to his word. He contacted the hospital soon. After a long process, the results came: They were a perfect match. Then they had their surgery, which was a(n) 10 .

That was my first experience of learning aikido.”At 59, Warrack, who had recently handed in her resignation, began reading up on mindfulness practices. “The more I looked into mindfulness, the more aikido kept coming up,” she says. “These books were recommending it as a way to connect the mind, body and spirit.”Attracted by the idea, Warrack found a local class where she could take a beginners’ session. Despite her struggles, Warrack kept returning. While her husband and two children weresupportive, they weren’t tempted to join in. “They just thought: Mum’s off on one again,” she says. Warrack carried on and, after two years of practice, she began moving up the graded system of belt rankings and noticing a change in herself. “Aikido was making me way more confident,” she says, “Since my reactions got quicker, my balance was better and my coordination (协调性) improved, I had a real understanding of my own body and it became a metaphor (比喻) for how to be in life; how to avoid attack without hurting the other person.”By January 2019, Warrack was determined to achieve her black belt and began training with the only other person in her class who was at the same level as her: a 181cm police officer. “It was a very odd pairing. Not least because he’s so strong and so I had to learn how to use my skills rather than strength against him,” she says.In December 2021, Warrack, at the age of 66, took her black belt test. For 20 minutes, she had to defend her position against attackers one after another before facing the final randori, where four people attack at once. “One guy kicked me and split my lip,” she laughs. “It made me so angry, but that’s what I needed to keep going.” She passed, making her one of the oldest people to achieve an aikido black belt in the UK.14．How did Morag Warrack feel when she first entered the aikido classroom?A．Curious.B．Disappointed.C．Confident.D．Frightened. 15．After two years of practice, Warrack ________.A．grew more patient B．turned into a better selfC．realized her full potential D．became aware of her weakness16．In order to achieve her black belt, Warrack had to ________.A．polish her skills further B．improve her coordinationC．avoid hurting the attackers D．seek support from her family17．What can we learn from this passage?A．With age comes wisdom.B．The greatest wealth is health.C．It’s always a good time to learn.D．Compete with honor and win with grace.Our travels are not limited to physical time. We also experience mental time travel. We visit the past through our memories and then journey into the future by imagining what tomorrow or next year might bring. When we do so, we think of ourselves as we are now, remember who weonce were and envision how we will be.A recent study explores how one particular brain region helps to knit together memories of the present and future selves. When people sustain an injury to this area, it leads to a damaged sense of identity. The region, called vmPFC, may produce a fundamental model of the person and place it in mental time. When the region does so, it may be the source of our sense of self. It’s also found that memories that reference the self are easier to recall. They benefit from what researchers have called a self-reference effect.In the study, the researchers used the self-reference effect to assess memories of present and future selves among people who had brain lesions (损伤) to the vmPFC．The scientists worked with people with vmPFC lesions, then compared them with a control group made up of people with injuries to other parts of the brain and healthy individuals. They were asked to list adjectives to describe themselves and a celebrity, both in the present and future. Later, they had to recall these same traits. It was discovered that people in the control group could recall more adjectives linked to themselves than adjectives linked to the celebrity. However, the participants with vmPFC lesions had little or no ability to recall references to the self, regardless of the context of time. Their identification of adjectives for celebrities was also comparatively weak.These findings are intriguing, for the study helps us understand how self-related memories depend on the function of the vmPFC．But what about our past selves? Previous studies asked people to consider their past selves, but there was no evidence of the self-reference effect. Our past selves seem foreign to us, as if they were individuals apart from us.One idea that scientists have put forward to understand this distinction is that perhaps we are not very kind in our judgments of our past selves. Instead we may be rather critical of our previous behavior, emotions and personal traits. We may use our past primarily to construct a more positive self-image in the present. Put another way, because we may recognize flaws (瑕疵) in our past self’s behavior, we tend to distance ourselves from the person we once were.Therefore, bringing the present and future into the spotlight is central to understanding the way our brain and thoughts shape our current selves. And with the research, we have a better idea about the way a small region within our brain is able to build and hold the core ability to maintain our identity.18．From the passage, we can learn that ________.A．people with vmPFC lesions have a broken sense of identityB．vmPFC-injured people recall celebrities better than others doC．the self-reference effect plays a vital role in considering past selfD．people tend to accept past self after realizing their previous faults19．As for the findings of the recent study on vmPFC, the author is ________.A．critical B．doubtful C．approving D．unconcerned 20．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A．Testing Our Memories B．Creating Our Sense of SelfC．The Power of Self-Reference Effect D．The Importance of Mental Time TravelWith its 1.2 million LED lights shining brightly against the Las Vegas night, the Las Vegas Sphere may well be the ultimate symbol of 2020s overuse. But that gigantic entertainment space is also something else: a symbol of the coming conflict between our climate goals and our seemingly insatiable (永不满足) appetite for stuff.In the 1990s, multicolor LED lights were invented to prevent climate disasters by greatly reducing the amount of electricity we use. After all, LED lights use 90 percent less energy and last around 18 times longer than incandescent bulbs (白炽灯). Yet the amount of electricity we consume for light globally is roughly the same today as it was in 2010. That’s partly because of population and economic growth in the developing world. But another big reason is that as technology has advanced, we’ve only grown more wasteful.There’s an economic term for this: the Jevons Paradox, named for the 19th-century English economist William Stanley Jevons, who noticed that as steam engines became ever more efficient, Britain’s appetite for coal increased rather than decreased. The logic of Jevons is that instead of banking the efficiency savings we make as technology advances, we go out and spend it.Today, you can see examples of the Paradox everywhere. When residents in England installed home insulation, their overall heating energy demand soon rebounded, ending up at about the same level as it was before: The residents had apparently chosen to turn up their thermostats (温控器) and live in warmer homes.The good news is that in some cases the efficiency gains are so great that even our insatiable appetite for new stuff cannot completely negate them. Today’s car engines require lessfuel, even though Americans on average now drive longer distances in heavier cars. However, the bad news is that the Jevons Paradox seems to be hard-wired into us. There are few examples throughout history of people willingly consuming less energy, either for moral or environmental reasons.For some, the solution is obvious: Governments must do more to limit our energy use, perhaps through regulations or taxes. A global carbon tax would help—though the chances of establishing one remain slim. A more innovative answer comes from Rob West, founder and chief executive of Thunder Said Energy. Having spent years documenting the Jevons Paradox and finding it far more widespread than economists predicted, he thinks the best hope we have is to fight Jevons with Jevons. That means applying the idea that consumption increases as goods become cheaper and more efficient to our production of energy. In other words, the future lies not in rationing (定量供应) energy and hoping humans suddenly change their behavior, but in ensuring any energy we use is as green and attractive as possible.21．Why does the author mention the Las Vegas Sphere?A．To highlight a space.B．To predict an ending.C．To provide a solution.D．To express a concern.22．What does the underlined word “negate” in Paragraph 5 most probably mean?A．Put off.B．Break down.C．Push up.D．Wipe out. 23．What can we learn from the passage?A．The Jevons Paradox requires more examples.B．Environmental awareness is hard-wired in humans.C．Energy consumption grows as technology advances.D．Efficiency gains guarantee the realization of climate goals.24．Which of the following statements would Rob West most probably agree with?A．The solution is always to further energy efficiency.B．A global carbon tax has aided in limiting energy use.C．Humans are eager to change their consumption behavior.D．Economists have overestimated the effect of the Jevons Paradox.Highly sensitive person, or HSP, is a term coined by psychologist Elaine Aron. Accordingto research, in every five people, there’s one HSP. 25 HSPs have strong self-consciousness; they may struggle to adapt to new circumstances, demonstrate seemingly inappropriate emotional responses in social situations, and easily become uncomfortable in response to light, sound or certain physical sensations. 26The power of insensitivity can be interpreted as “sluggish (迟缓的) power”. Usually, people associate “insensitivity” with something bad, but insensitivity does not equal dullness. 27 That is, calmly facing the setbacks and downtime in life and firmly moving towards one’s own direction. It is the “means and wisdom to win a better life”, as a Japanese author writes in the book The Power of Insensitivity. According to him, the world will be better if we focus on the major goals and stay insensitive to anything else.28 One of the important reasons is that behind insensitivity is strong self-awareness or self-confidence. Knowing yourself is difficult, but knowing yourself correctly is undoubtedly an excellent ability. One of the qualities shared by many successful people is: they all clearly know where their strengths are, what they want, and what direction to go.To practice insensitivity, the first step is to avoid overthinking. Resist the urge to overanalyze situations, and redirect your focus towards actionable steps within your control. Secondly, don’t pay too much attention to the ups and downs of life at the moment. Rather, you should be looking forward. Additionally, set clear boundaries. 29 Remember not to get too involved in other people’s business and set limits that keep you safe from outside pressures.As a unique wisdom of life, the power of insensitivity gives completely new inspiration to modern people. Once you become a bit “blunt” and slow down the pace, you will feel more comfortable.A．Everyone can obtain the ability to be insensitive.B．That’s where the need to be insensitive comes from.C．It emphasizes determination when it comes to difficulties.D．Avoid focusing too much on what others are doing or thinking.E．Regarding relationships, learn to view the problem as two parts.F．Being a highly sensitive person can come with many challenges.G．Why can insensitivity allow a person to better adapt in a competitive environment?三、选词填空用方框中单词的适当形式完成下列句子，每个单词只能用一次。

AThere is a bar in our town with the name “The White Horse”. It 's Mr. Webster's. Few people went to the bar last year, but thi ngs are quite different now.There was a picture of a white horse on the door of the bar. T hen a stranger came in one day, drank something, looked aro und the bar and then said to Mr. Webster "Few people come here. Take down the picture of the white horse and put on a pi cture of a black horse instead.""But the name of the bar is ‘The White Horse’.” Mr. Webster s aid."Yes, but do it." The man said. Then he went out of the bar.[] Mr. Webster went to an artist and said, "I want a picture of a b lack horse."The next day a picture of a black horse was on the door of the bar instead of that of the white horse. Soon after the door op ened, a man came in and said, "There is a mistake on the doo r of your bar, and the picture is different from the name." The man looked, sat down and drank something.Then another man came in and said the same, and then anot her and another. A lot of people came in and said "The pictur e on your door is wrong." And they all stopped and drank in M r. Webster's bar.1. The stranger told Mr. Webster to take down the picture of t he white horse because he knew ________.A. people would come in and tell the picture was different from the nameB. the picture of the white horse wasn't good for the barC. people would understand the picture different from the nam eD. a picture of a black horse showed good luck2.

A person lies to get himself out of a difficu lt or stressful situation or he lies to gain some benefits. So ho w should we go about recognizing those common indications(暗示) that someone is lying? Let's begin.Scratching(抓，挠) the neck，throat or mouth. When a person tells lies，he will put himself under pressure and this tends to heat up th e whole body. In order to release this heat，the liar will start to scratch his body to release the heat. Shaking of a leg or a foot. When telling a lie，a person controls his facial expression because he knows that the other person is looking at his face. However，when one is totally focused on controlling the upper body，the lower body will get out of control，which is an indication of lying.Eye direction. When a person is trying to answer a hard quest ion，usually the eyes will be looking to the left to recall things from his memory. When one cannot find the answer，the eyes will shift to look at the right which indicates that he is constructing something that is usually a lie.For more techniques to become a more effective communicator，please refer to other articles on this website.5.The writer wrote this passage to ________.A．tell us how to detect lies through body languageB．tell us the importance of detecting liesC．prove that lies can be easily detectedD．explain why people tell lies6．According to the writer，the liar will start to scratch his body because ________.
