A large dinner party is being given in an up-country station by a colonial official and his wife. The guests are army and government officers and their wives, and an American naturalist.At one side of the long table, a spirited discussion springs up between a young girl and an army officer. The girl insists women have long outgrown the jumping-on-a-chair-at-the-sight-of-a-mouse era, and that they are not as anxious as their grandmothers were. The officer says they are, arguing women haven't the actual nerve control of men."A woman's reaction in any crisis," the officer says, "is to scream. And while a man may feel like it, he has that ounce more of control than a woman has."The American scientist does not join in the argument but sits and watches the faces of the other guests. As he stares, he sees a slight, though strange look of anxiety come over the face of the hostess. With a small gesture she summons the servant standing behind her chair. She whispers to him. The servant's eyes widen. He turns quickly and leaves the room. No one else sees this, nor the servant when he puts a bowl of milk on the balcony outside the glass doors.The American understands. In India, milk in a bowl means only one thing. It is bait for a snake. He realizes there is a cobra in the room. The American's eyes move across the room but he sees nothing. He realizes the snake can only be in one place—under the table.His first reaction is to jump back and warn the others. But he knows any sudden movement will frighten the cobra and it will strike. He speaks quickly, the quality of his voice so arresting that it quietens everyone. "I want to know just what control everyone at this table has. I will count three hundred—that's five minutes —and not one of you is to move a single muscle. Now! Ready!"The 20 people sit like stone images while he counts. He is saying "…two hundred and eighty..." when, out of the corner of his eye, he sees the snake emerge and make for the bowl of milk. Four or five screams ring out as he jumps to slam shut the balcony doors."There is your proof!" the host says. "A man has just shown us real control.""Just a minute," the American says, turning to his hostess, "How did you know that cobra was in the room?"A faint smile comes across the woman's face as she replies. "Because it was lying across my foot."（1）What is the argument between the army officer and the young girl about?A.Whether women are afraid of mice.B.Whether men are calmer than women.C.Whether men are cleverer than women.D.Whether women would make suitable soldiers.（2）Why is the servant asked to put out some milk?A.To play a trick.B.To serve the guests.C.To attract the snake.D.To feed the hostess's pet.（3）Why does the scientist suggest the guests play a game?A.He doesn't want anyone to panic.B.He intends to test the officer's theory.C.He sees there was a snake in the room.D.He wants to entertain the other guests.（4）What does the author imply through the hostess's final statement?A.The army officer's opinion is wrong.B.The hostess understood the American's intention.C.The American was surprised by the snake's presence.D.The hostess has had previous experience dealing with snakes.6.Have you ever heard of a pawpaw（木瓜）? If not, do not feel bad. Most Americans do not know of the fruit, though it is native to the United States.Once, however, it was one of the most popular fruits in North America. Happily, those who love the pawpaw are trying to return it to its former position in American foods. A pawpaw is a tropical-like fruit that grows on trees found all over the eastern United States. It's also the largest fruit native to the US.It is similar to a typical mango in size. It has a dull green-colored skin, and a soft, almost-creamy orange inside. The pawpaw was not sold commercially in the past. The fruit requires a very special environment-low, wet areas that sometimes flood. It has a very short harvest season, from two to three weeks in September and October. In addition, the fruit is good to eat for only two to three days after harvesting. This makes it hard to sell anywhere distant from the pawpaw tree it came from.Planters are again growing pawpaw trees and harvesting the fruit. In several states farmers haveorganized "pawpaw festivals" to reintroduce people to the food. At such a festival in Maryland recently, farmers displayed different products made with pawpaws. There were pawpaw jams, pies, gelato（冰淇淋）and beer. Michael Judd helped organize the Maryland pawpaw festival.Farmers are trying to grow kinds of pawpaws that will be easier to ship and sell commercially. Donna and Jim Davis are pawpaw farmers in Westminster, Maryland. They said that they purchased their pawpaw trees in the 1990s and now sell the fruit at farmer's markets and online.（1）What can we know about the pawpaw according to the text?A.Its harvest season lasts long.B.It grows in Europe originally.C.It has already returned to its former position.D.It used to be well-received in North America.（2）What limited the pawpaw to being sold commercially in the past?A.It was unknown to the world.B.It's hard to grow, store and transport.C.It has similar taste with typical mangoes.D.The planters were unwilling to grow them for low profits.（3）Why do farmers hold "pawpaw festivals"?A.To show lots of delicious food to people.B.To make the pawpaw known to people again.C.To introduce people to a completely new fruit.D.To tell people the forgotten history about the fruit.（5）What is the best title for the text?A.The History of Pawpaws.B.How to Grow Pawpaws.C.The Comeback of Pawpaws.D.The Origin of Pawpaw Festival.四、七选五（本题共计 1 小题，共计5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。

garden has been a sign of summer's end.Each September，just as the decreased heat of the sun suggests cooler days，Grandma requests my help in her tomato garden.She convinces me she cannot pick tomatoes without my youthful eyes and quick mind.She says we need to examine each tomato and agree on its readiness for picking.While Grandma's request for my help in the tomato garden is always the same，her desire for my help seems to increase each year.Grandma has eyes for finding even the tomatoes hidden by undergrowth and other tomatoes.I，however，just turn circles looking for the ones I think Grandma will like.I spot what looks like a ripe tomato，head in its direction，and then get sidetracked by another that appears to be equally ripe.I usually end up watching Grandma and trying to stay out of her way，which seems the only way my eyes and mind are useful.There we are，lost in the tomato vines(藤).Grandma's eyes are always knowing，and they are no different in the vegetable garden.From afar shespots what looks like a ripe tomato.As she walks toward the garden，she evaluates the tomato for a second time，but from a different angle.I already know it will end up in the basket with the pile of others Grandma has carefully chosen.However，Grandma acts as if she needs final look to be sure.She calls me to her side，kneels beside the vine while enjoying the warmth of the fading sunlight on her face，and grasps the tomato in her hand.She turns each round，red ball toward the sunlight before disconnecting it from the vine with a half-hearted smile.She then looks at me.I nod my head and smile.Grandma assumes I smile in agreement with her tomato selection.I know I smile，instead，at her.45.Why does Grandma ask the author to go to the tomato garden with her?A.He can help pick more tomatoes.B.He can

ripe tomatoes48.What can we infer from the story?A. The grandchild will e more skillful at gardening than Grandma.标签：B.Grandma will develop more patience in working with the grandchild.C.The grandchild will gradually e more independent of Grandma.D.Grandma's need for the grandchild's pany will grow over time.CI was hurrying to our basketball game one morning when Hillary Barnes，the most popular girl，in school，stopped me.“Are you the twin who won the art petition?”she asked.“No，that's Christine.I'm Kati e.”I said.We were not identical twins;we looked quite different.She could defeat Snow White in a beauty contest!Compared to Christine，I felt like one of Cinderella's stepsisters.One Saturday Christine gave me a painting lesson because I was always attempting to be artistic too.But I knocked over the vase offlowers，spilling water onto Christine's painting.Instead of ing angry，though，she turned the whole mess into a dreamy masterpiece(杰作).You could look at it five different ways and see five different things.With this brilliant creation，she won First Prize in the art petition.I really envied her，but I knew it wasn't her fault and I was the one with wild，unmanageable hair and no talent.Joining Christine's basketball team was my latest effort to be like her.On the way to the gym，I'd made up my mind to give my best performance in that day's game.I made preparations with great enthusiasm.“Christine，here!”I tossed her a ball.But it was too high，she leapt for it，it slipped through her fingers and crashed into the tape recorder that was used to play the national anthem before each game.I muttered apologies as I picked up the broken pieces of the recorder.Coach looked at the mess and asked，“How are we going to play the song now?”Christine suggested，“Let Katie sing it!She's always singing at home.”Coach asked.“Would you?”I found myself nodding.Coach announced the national anthem and everyone stood.Standing before a microphone，I looked up to the flag.The notes seemed to flow from deep inside me，and my voice was steady and clear.When I finished，the gym was silent Then it was filled with applause.As the game started.teammates patted my back and gave me the“thumbs up”uraJamison said.“You should try out for the school musical!”I Nodded and said that I might.The next morning Hillary Barnes stopped me in the hallway and asked，“Are you the twin who sings?”“Yes，that's me，”I answered，grining(露齿笑)as I

popular.B.People are talented in different ways.C.People should always be nice to others.D.Unsuccessful attempts are well worth the effort.DWhat makes a house a home?Not size，of course.I've been in some of the grandest houses in America，and it's clear that no one lives there.Earlier this year，I had dinner in a mud hut in Ethiopia，where we sat on chairs next to the hostess' bed—a home that had more warmth than any house I've been in since.Now John Edwards is exploring what makes a house a home in his just-released(发行)Home.The Blueprints of Our Lives.There Edwards writes，“This isn't a book about houses;it's a book about homes.About the values they rest on，the dreams they are filled with，and the people they have shaped.”Edwards writes，“The houses and circumstances are different，but much of what you find inside will be familiar.”Whether you're sitting in an airport right now，waiting to fly to your childhood home for Thanksgiving，or in your own home waiting for the relatives to arrive，you know what he's talking about.We've lived in our townhouse for 21 years.It's home now.The loose windows that shake in the wind.The fireplace so shallow it holds only onelog.The kitchen

山东省泰安第二中学2023-2024学年高二上学期12月月考英语试题
山东省泰安第二中学2023-2024学年高二上学期12月月考英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读选择Here are 4 books you should read at least once in your life.Number the Stars by LoisIt tells the story of a Danish girl growing up in World War II with her best friend, Ellen, who happens to be Jewish. When she learns about the horrors that the Nazis are imposing on the Jewish people, she and her family stop at nothing to protect Ellen and countless other Jews. Lois’ novel is a powerful reminder that cultural and religious differences are no divide between true friends.The Little Prince by AntoineIt is the story of a little boy who falls to Earth from an Asteroid (小行星) after visiting several other asteroids to try to understand mankind. In his travels he meets a series of strange and delightful characters and an untamed fox. The Little Prince is a heartwarming tale of the power of friendship and trust.Charlotte’s Web by E. B．WhiteWho doesn’t love a novel about talking animals? It opens the door to imagination, asking us to imagine what a world where animals could talk would be like. On a more serious note, it challenges us to ask ourselves how we’d treat animals if they could talk. If they could tell us their joys and their fears, would mankind treat them more humanely?To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper LeeThe story centers on Jean Louise Finch, an unusually intelligent girl who ages from six to nine years old during the novel. Her father, Atticus Finch, a well-known and respected lawyer, defends Tom Robinson, an African American who is falsely accused of killing a young white woman. It is both a young girl’s coming-of-age story and a darker drama about the roots and consequences of racism and prejudice in society.1．What do the two books Number the Stars and The Little Prince both involve?A．History.B．Travel.C．Friendship.D．Family. 2．What kind of book is Charlotte’s Web?A．A fairy story book.B．An animal science book.C．A biology textbook.D．An animal book for kids.3．What subject may the book To Kill a Mockingbird explore?A．Family conflicts.B．Career design.C．Legal systems.D．Social issues.An immersive and slow-paced Citywalk is becoming trendy across China. In contrast to rushing past overcrowded tourist landmarks, the new trend has emerged as a popular alternative to explore bustling markets, ancient streets, and charming alleys at a leisurely pace.The appeal of Citywalk caters particularly to the younger generation often caught up in demanding work schedules. As evidenced by the increasing popularity of hash tags like “City walk for vacation” on lifestyle sharing platform Xiaohong shu, with a staggering 465 million views and nearly 464, 600 engagements, the trend is truly capturing unbelievable attention.Citywalk, or meandering through the urban landscapes, means the act of walking freely along city streets unburdened by exhaustive plans. It offers people an avenue to intimately experience urban culture and local traditions. Citywalk is not merely about sightseeing. It creates an opportunity for social interactions and deep connections with the cities. Citywalk routes are tailored to the specific interests of both out-of-town tourists and locals. For tourists, the focus is on sharing local customs and traditions, while for locals, discussions revolve around the city’s past, present, and future. The growing trend of Citywalk reflects a changing attitude towards life, embracing a warmer, more relaxed, and slower-paced lifestyle.As Citywalk expands beyond first-tier cities like Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou, to second-and third-tier cities across the county, it brings fresh opportunities for the tourism industry, in such areas as dining, shopping, and accommodation.Governments in Beijing and Shandong have recognized the potential of Citywalk, incorporating it into their action plans to promote cultural tourism and leisure activities. In Shanghai, public bus lines specially designed have been introduced to elevate the overall Citywalk for participants.“By slowing down and delving into the narrow alleys, observing the lives of city residents, and immersing oneself in the context of museums and art galleries, one is entitled to embrace the pleasure of life,” said Luo Jun, a cultural tourism enthusiast.4．What’s the main reason for the popularity of Citywalk among young people?A．It mainly focuses on urban sightseeing.B．Social media offer many tempting videos.C．Busywork schedule limits the choice of people.D．Conventional tourist landmarks are losing charm.A．Astonishing.B．Rewarding.C．Embarrassing.D．Shrinking. 6．Which of the following statements is NOT Citywalk?A．An immersive route for foreigners to enjoy the alleys in Chengdu.B．A holiday travel to hurriedly visit crowded landmarks in Shanghai.C．A free walk including visiting museums and old towns in Qingdao.D．A leisurely tour along Qiantang River to experience city transformation.7．What have some governments done to promote Citywalk?A．Facilities in the museums have been enhanced.B．Cooperation has been strengthened among cities.C．Opportunities have been offered to third-tier cities.D．Specific public transportation routes have been introduced.There are many differences in ways of thinking between East and West. Many of them are reflected in daily behaviour. In particular, Chinese people sometimes attach more importance to their appearance and social status than to their inner qualities, while Westerners think the opposite. However, Socrates (Ancient Greek philosopher) and Confucius share significant similarities that are universal.Both philosophers share several teachings in common; for example, their understanding of the nature of knowledge and their opinions on education. Socrates believed “There is only one good, knowledge;and only one evil, ignorance.” Similarly, Confucius said, “Isn’t it a pleasure to study and practice what you have learned?” But both also acknowledge the limits of knowledge. Socrates said: “All I know is that I know nothing.” Similarly, Confucius said, “When you know a thing, to hold you know it; when you don’t know a thing, to allow you don’t know it-this is knowledge.”However, there are important differences in their understanding of morality. Confucius believed each person should follow certain regulations according to virtue(德行). Everyone should play their role in a society where people are interdependent in order to achieveharmony in the whole society. For instance, when asked how to govern a country, Confucius stated “An emperor should act like an emperor, a subject should act like a subject.” Socrates, however, places self-knowledge over social knowledge.Another difference between them is their attitude towards political domination(支配). Confucius believed the best way to govern a country isn’t through legal system, but through virtue. Socrates, by contrast, declared that “nothing is more important than justice”.Why have East and West developed such different cultural values? A widely accepted theory holds that Eastern civilization was an agricultural civilization. Hence the need for a collective society and friendly relations with neighbors was strong. Western civilization, however, was nomadic(游牧的). Their mobility makes them less dependent on society after migration.In spite of their differences, the two cultures have more in common than differences. The shared concern for moral values in the teachings of Socrates and Confucius also shows us more fundamental similarities between Eastern and Western cultures in their pursuit of virtuous lives.8．What do the two philosophers share about knowledge?A．The learning of knowledge is easy.B．The learning of knowledge is endless.C．A man without knowledge is foolish.D．A man shall not pretend to understand. 9．Which of the following reflects the thoughts of Confucius in terms of morality?A．Nothing is more important than a legal system.B．I am not a Chinese, but a citizen of the world.C．Not everyone should play his own role in society.D．A man does what is proper to the position he is in.10．What is the root cause of the differences between Eastern and Western cultural values?A．The difference in political atmosphere.B．The difference in the length of history.C．The difference in economic development.D．The difference in levels of social dependency.11．What is the passage mainly about?A．Reasons for similarities of Eastern and Western cultures.B．The introduction of great figures of two different cultures.C．Comparisons of the thoughts of the two great philosophers.D．The contributions of two great philosophers to civilization.The first apes evolved 20 million years ago in the forests where they would go up a tree to get their food, and then come back down to move on to the next tree. Getting out of a tree presents all kinds of new challenges. Big apes can’t afford to fall because it could kill or badly injure them. Natural selection would have favored those with body structures that allowed them to descend safely.Dartmouth researchers report in the journal Royal Society Open Science that apes probably evolved free-moving shoulders and flexible elbows to slow their descent from trees as gravity pulled on their heavier bodies. These flexible body parts passed on from ancestral apes would have allowed early humans to climb trees at night for safety and comedown in the daylight unhurt. When early humans transitioned from forests to open savannas (热带稀树草原), flexible shoulders and elbows were crucial for gathering food and using tools for hunting and defense.The researchers used sports analysis and statistical software to study how primates(灵长目动物) like chimpanzees and small monkeys called mangabeys climbed in the wild. They found that chimps and mangabeys scaled(攀爬) trees similarly, with shoulders and elbows mostly bent close to the body. When descending, however, chimpanzees extended their arms above their heads to hold on to branches, much like a person using a ladder, to counteract(抵消) their heavier weight pulling them downward.Luke Fannin, the lead author of the study, emphasized that their findings highlight the importance of “down climbing” in the evolution of apes and early humans. He explained, “Our research introduces the idea that down climbing played a significant role in shaping the structural differences between monkeys and apes, which eventually manifested in humans.”“Our field has thought about apes climbing up trees for a long time, but we’ve been ignoring the second half of this behavior,” said Professor Jeremy DeSilva, “The findings are among the first to identify the significance of “down climbing” in the evolution of apes and early humans.12．According to paragraph 1, apes would have been favored by natural selection if .A．they have sufficient food resources.B．they come down from trees securely.C．they master skills of climbing up trees.D．they cure themselves when they’re injured.13．What is paragraph 3 mainly about?A．The similarity of two primates in tree climbingB．The evolution of two primates’ adaptation to nature.C．The analysis of primates’ tree scaling and descendingD．The application of different research methods and tools.14．Which of the following statement might DeSilva agree with?A．Descending trees has been neglected by researchers for a long time.B．The study is the first to recognize the significance of down climbingC．The evolution of apes and early humans is a result of down climbing.D．Studies on climbing down trees are more likely to have new findings.15．What is the best title of the passage?A．Chimpanzees and Mangabeys: Researches in Natural SettingsB．Apes and Humans: A Comparative Study of Climbing up TreesC．Shoulders and Elbows: Evolved as Brakes for Downclimbing ApesD．Apes’ Climbing Strategies: How to Use Different Body Parts FlexiblyIt is important to look after your body to help you to stay well and healthy for as long as you can. However, advice about caring for your body is conflicting and often confusing.difficult.17 Common sense tells us that even doing a bit more exercise or getting a bit more sleep, and not eating that second slice of cake, are likely to be helpful. The application of a little science, and quite a lot more common sense, can go a long way towards helping you to work out what’s best for you and your body.Why should you care about Your Body? Caring for your body makes sense. 18Around the world, there is a growing problem of lifestyle-related diseases. These are diseases that are, effectively, caused by the way we live our lives. Most, if not all of them, are associated with not looking after our bodies. Many are associated with being overweight and not taking enough exercise, or by putting the wrong substances into our bodies. These diseases and conditions include heart conditions, high blood pressure, many forms of cancer etc. 19 . However, looking after your body will go some way to helping you to live a healthier life, for longer.There are three very important aspects to looking after your body：getting enough rest and sleep, eating well, and taking exercise. 20 But with practice, you will get better at making sure that you take care of your body.A．It can be really hard to know what works the best.B．You cannot, of course, avoid every illness or condition.C．But if you do that too often, there will be consequences.D．However, a closer examination suggests that the situation is not quite that simple.E．Knowing what to do, and actually doing it are, of course, quite different things.F．However, just because it is puzzling does not mean the effort is not worthwhile.G．After all, you only get one body in this life, and you want it to last as long as possible.二、完形填空A group of generous mothers collected baby strollers(婴儿手推车)to help the homeless22．A．various B．cheap C．personal D．big 23．A．absence B．symbol C．character D．design 24．A．manage B．control C．predict D．represent 25．A．required B．permitted C．reminded D．promised 26．A．monitored B．examined C．assessed D．witnessed 27．A．privately B．actually C．crazily D．completely 28．A．support B．admiration C．protection D．demand. 29．A．process B．donation C．journey D．treatment 30．A．stress B．direction C．balance D．safety 31．A．repeat B．regain C．recall D．review 32．A．simple B．typical C．evident D．steady 33．A．figured out B．knocked off C．brought about D．attended to 34．A．reflected B．deserted C．handled D．inspired 35．A．apologized B．described C．displayed D．explained三、语法填空阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
