I sat the bunny on my lap and fed him lettuce. I peeled bananas and watched him nibble away at them. Sometimes I would let him bounce around on my bed while I read books or watched TV. Other times I would cradle him like a baby and stroke his tiny head while his tiny pink nose twitched. Day by day，I had developed an affectionate relationship with this lovely creature. What’s more，no one had responded to my postings to claim Easter.One month later，I received a call from a woman who claimed she was the owner of Easter. She explained that her rabbit was mistakenly left behind by her mindless son when they visited their friend in this community；meanwhile，many thanks from her went to me for taking care of Easter. When the woman took away Easter and thanked me again，I couldn’t hold back my tears any more. As much as it hurt to fold up the box and sweep the hay from the bedroom，it also felt good to have taken Easter in，to have given him a safe home until its owner came along. Easter has been my fond memory，filling me with joy whenever I think about him.【解析】第二部分阅读第一节A21．B 根据黑色标题Wake the Tiger，Bristol可知。

But the only thing that wasn’t very fun about it was that I couldn’t catch anything. I usually got pretty upset and kept asking him why. He always answered, “Son, if you want to catch a fish, you have to think like a fish.” I remember being even more upset then because I didn’t know how to think like a fish. Besides, I reasoned, how could what I think influence what a fish does.As I got a little older I began to understand what my dad really meant. So, I read some books on fish. And I even joined the local fishing club and started attending the monthly meetings. I learned that a fish is a cold-blooded animal and therefore is very sensitive to water temperature. That is why fish prefer shallow water to deep water because the former is warmer. Besides, water is usually warmer in direct sunlight than in the shade. Yet, fish don’t have any eyelids (眼皮) and the sun hurts their eyes... The more I understood fish, the more I became effective at finding and catching them.When I grew up and entered the business world, I remember hearing my first boss say, “We all need to think like sales people.” But it didn’t completely make sense. My dad never once said, “If you want to catch a fish you need to think like a fisherman.” What he said was, “You need to think like a fish.” Years later, with great efforts to promote long-term services to people much older and richer than me, I gradually learned what we all need is to think more like customers. It is not an easy job. I will show you how in the following chapters.4．Why was the author upset about fishing when he was nine?A．He could not catch a fish.B．His father was not patient with him.C．His father did not teach him to fish.D．He could not influence a fish as his father did.5．According to the author, fish are most likely to be found ______.A．in deep water on sunny days B．in deep water on cloudy daysC．in shallow water under sunlight D．in shallow water under waterside trees 6．After entering the business world, the author found ______.A．it easy to think like a customer B．his father’s fishing advice inspiring C．his first bosses sales ideas reasonable D．it difficult to sell services to poor people 7．Where does the text probably come from?A．A fishing guide.B．A popular sales book.C．A novel on childhood.D．A book about rich people.While still in its early stages, welfare reform has already been judged a great success in many states —at least in getting people off welfare. It’s estimated that more than 2 million people have left the rolls(名单) since 1994.In the past four years, welfare rolls in Athens County have been cut in half. But 70 percent of the people who left in the past two years took jobs that paid less than $6 an hour. The result: The Athens County poverty rate still remains at more than 30 percent - twice the national average. For advocates for the poor, that’s an indication that much more needs to be done.“More people are getting jobs, but it’s not making their lives any better,” says Kathy Lairn, a policy analyst at the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities in Washington.A center analysis of US Census data nationwide found that last year, a greater percentage of single, female-headed households were earning money on their own, but that average income for these households actually went down.But for many, the fact that poor people are able to support themselves almost as well without government aid as they did with it is in itself a huge victory.“Welfare was a poison. It was a toxin that was poisoning the family,” says Robert Rector, a welfare-reform policy analyst. “The reform is changing the moral climate in low-income communities. It’s beginning to rebuild the work ethic, which is much more important.”Mr. Rector and others argued that once “the habit of dependency is cracked,” then the country can make other policy changes aimed at improving living standards.8．Why don’t people enjoy their lives better when they get jobs?A．Because they are used to relying on welfare to make livings.B．Because the cost of living is higher than before.C．Because many families are not satisfied with their income.D．Because their wages are very low.9．From the passage we know that the reconstruction of ______ is the core of the reform. A．government aids B．work ethicC．welfare funds D．moral awareness10．According to the example of the Athens Country, why great efforts should be made for the poor?A．To improve their living standards.B．To help them be employed.C．To get them off welfare.D．To increase their wage.11．What can be inferred about the author based on the passage?A．He is completely certain about the success of welfare reform.B．He thinks that welfare reform has done little good for the poor.C．He considers welfare reform successful in general.D．He insists welfare reform has increased the government’s burden.A team of engineers at Harvard University has been inspired by nature to create the first robotic fly. The mechanical fly has become a platform for a series of new high-tech systems. Designed to do what a fly does naturally, the tiny machine is the size of a fat housefly. Its mini wings allow it to stay in the air and perform controlled flight tasks.“It’s extremely important for us to think about this as a whole system and not just a bunch of individual components (零件),” said Robert Wood, the Harvard engineering professor who has been working on the robotic fly project for over a decade. “The added difficulty with such a project is that actually none of those components are off the shelf and so we have to make them all on our own,” he said.They engineered a series of systems to start and drive the robotic fly. “The seemingly simple system which just moves the wings has a number of individual components, each of which individually has to perform well, and then has to be matched well to everything its connected to,” said Wood. The flight device was built into a set of power, computation, sensing and control systems. Wood says the success of the project proves that the flying robot with these tiny components can be built and manufactured.Wood says the design offers a new way to study flight mechanics and control atinsect-scale. Yet, the power, sensing and computation technologies on board could have much broader applications. “You can start thinking about using them to answer open scientific questions, you know, to study biology in ways that would be difficult with the animals, but using these robots instead,” he said. “So there are a lot of technologies and open interesting scientific questions that are really what drives us on a day-to-day basis.”12．Which of the followings can replace the underlined phrase “off the shelf” in Para 2? A．Reliable.B．Put aside.C．Unprepared.D．Ready-made. 13．What does the success of the robotic fly suggest?A．It will help to kill dangerous insects.B．The flight device needs a few components.C．Scientists are able to make tiny flying machines.D．Humans will seldom use animals in biological tests.14．What does Wood hope to do with the flying robot?A．To put it to the market.B．To solve more scientific problems. C．To fix the system on other animals.D．To encourage people to learn biology. 15．What can be the best title for the text?A．Father of Robotic Fly B．Robotic Fly Imitates Real Life Insect C．Inspiration from Engineering Science D．Harvard Breaks Through in Insect Study二、七选五How can teenagers keep themselves from suffering from loneliness? Here are some suggestions for speeding a recovery from loneliness.Reach out to others but start small. A smile and a friendly greeting for the student behind you in line at the cafeteria (餐厅) won’t make you best friends. ____16____ It also can make it easier to interact the next time.Find a safe place to make connections. If going to the dancing party makes you feel like you just don’t belong, try joining a special-interest group. Maybe it’s the drama club or the marching band. ____17____Find other ways of making connections. Lonely people hunger for friendship. Sometimes feeling accepted and liked comes more easily when you do something for othersrather than waiting for them to make you feel better. ____18____ Help a child in reading. Take notes for a disabled classmate. You might be surprised at the connections you make.____19____ Loneliness is an absence of quality friendship, not of a particular quantity of friends. That’s why it’s important to know how to select a friend.You get what you expect, so expect the best. If you expect others to be friendly, you will behave in proper ways that encourage people to be friendlier to you. ____20____ But starting the first step of positive expectations can make all the difference.A．Choose the right people.B．Loneliness won’t last long.C．So consider becoming a volunteer.D．But it will make you both feel good.E．It can be hard work to be positive toward others.F．This harmful attitude can continue into adulthood.G．Look for a group that allows you to feel comfortable.三、完形填空I devote myself to music because of my grandmother.

重庆市璧山来凤中学2023-2024学年高二上学期12月月考英语试题一、阅读理解A primary school teacher who left a class of 25 pupils in tears after she told them Santa Claus(圣诞老人) did not exist has been fired. When excited youngsters became rowdy as they talked about Santa, the supply teacher said out suddenly, “It’s your parents who leave out presents on Christmas Day. ”The class of seven-year-olds at Blackshaw Lane Primary School, Royton, Greater Manchester burst into tears and told their parents when they arrived home. Mothers and fathers then complained about the incident and were sent a letter by the school saying the teacher, who only worked at the school for one day last week, has been disciplined.The school has now said it will not hire her again.One father said, “My son came home and said that his teacher had told the class that Santa doesn’t exist and it’s their mum and dad that put out presents for them. Obviously, they were all talking about Christmas and being a bit rowdy. She just came straight out with it. ”“My son was in tears and so was everyone else in the class—especially as it was so close to Christmas. I thought it was wrong. He was crazy about it. He’s only seven years old and it’s part of the magic of Christmas to him. ”“We told him that she did not believe in Father Christmas because of her religion and he’s fine now. ”“The father described the incident as ‘shocking’ and believed it was done with malicious intent (恶意地). A lot of parents were angry and complained to the school. The teacher, who was supplied by Rochdale and Oldham Supply Agency, is still listed and will work with other schools,” the agency said.However, the head teacher in Angela McCormick refused to comment on the incident.1. Who felt the angriest about the incident?A．The teacher who was fired. B．The pupils who were in tears.C．The parents whose children cried. D．Santa Claus the teacher talked about.2. The seven-year-old children cried because of ________.A．their teacher’s leaving B．the letters by the schoolC．something about Santa Claus D．the presents left out by the parents3. We can infer from the passage that ________.A．the teacher was fired and couldn’t continue her career in teachingB．the parents complained about the discipline of the schoolC．the little pupils felt disappointed after hearing the news told by the teacherD．in reality, Santa Claus exists and gives out presents once a year.4. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “rowdy”?A．Surprised. B．Noisy. C．Discouraged. D．Annoyed.Picking tomatoesFor as long as I can remember Grandma’s plentiful tomato 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 she spots 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 halfhearted 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.5. Why does Grandma ask the author to go to the tomato garden with her?A．He can help pick more tomatoes.B．He can learn the hardship of labor.C．She enjoys staying with him while working.D．She tries to share the happiness of harvest with him.6. The second paragraph shows that the author ________.A．is an inefficient tomato pickerB．really has youthful eyes and quick mindC．has spent a lot of time gardening with GrandmaD．is a naughty child trying to be out of Grandma’s sight7. In the last paragraph, the author smiles to Grandma because he ________. A．realized her true intentionsB．felt very happy to pick potatoes for herC．confirmed that her choice of tomato is greatD．appreciated her skill in finding ripe tomatoes8. What can we infer from the story?A．The grandchild will become more skillful at gardening than Grandma. B．Grandma will develop more patience in working with the grandchild.C．The grandchild will gradually become more independent of Grandma. D．Grandma’s need for the grandchild’s c ompany will grow over time.I 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 competition?” she asked.“No, that’s Christine. I’m Katie.” 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 t o be artistic too. But I knocked over the vase of flowers, spilling water onto Christine’s painting. Instead of becoming 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 competition. 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 t o 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.

Laura Jamison 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, grinning(露齿笑) as I walked to class.9.

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, t he 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 childh ood 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 one log. The kitchen window that offers a view of the world passing by. It’s where friends sit on the kitchen counter drinking wine while dinner is being fixed. I lived there for only 18 years, but it will always be my true home. Even the lamp in the west living room window, which I could see far down the road when driving home late at night, still shines.While all this talk about childhood memories can be warm and comforting, home is whom you’re with, not where you are. As Edwards writes, “Home is fami ly. Home is safety. Home is faith. ”Happy homecoming.13. According to the author, what makes a house a home?A．All the belongings in the house.B．Feelings of warmth and comfort.C．The houses and circumstances.D．Drinking with friends on the kitchen counter.14. About the book Home: The Blueprints of Our Lives, we know that ________.A．it was the description of Edwards’ housesB．it is mainly about housesC．it helps us understand the concept (概念) of homeD．it was written by the author of the text15. What did the author mean when he mentioned the loose windows and the shallow fireplace?A．His house was too old to live in. B．He missed the feeling of home.C．He hated living there. D．He missed his old friends too much.Ancient Rome was one of the world’s most powerful empires more than 2,000 years ago. The Romans’ Ideas about roads, laws, government and buildings still influence us today. Italy is shaped like a boot.The Colosseum (角斗场) in Rome was built during the time of the Roman Empire, in the first century A.D. 16 .

AIt is that time of the year, when a handful of world’s leading scholars, social activists and researchers are rewarded with what is often cited as the most prestigious acknowledgement of human effort-the Nobel Prize. Here’s a look at who has won the prize and for what.Physiology or MedicineSwedish geneticist Svante Peabo won the first Nobel of the year, for starting the field of ancient DNA studies. He is well-known for extracting, sequencing, and analyzing ancient DNA from Neanderthal bones.PhysicsAlain Aspect, John F. Clauser and Anton Zeilinger’s work in quantum (量子) technology landed them the second Nobel Prize announced in 2022. Although Aspect is from France, Clauser from the U.S, and Zeilinger from Austria, the three separately performed “groundbreaking experiments” as one team. “Their results have cleared the way for new technology,” the committee stated.ChemistryThe Nobel Prize for chemistry went to another trio, Carolyn R. Bertozzi from the U.S., Morten Meldal from Denmark and K. Barry Sharpless from the U.S. “for the development of click chemistry and biorthogonal chemistry,” the committee stated. Dr. Bertozzi is the eighth woman chemist to be awarded the prize, while Dr. Sharpless is the fifth scientist to be awarded two Nobel Prizes.EconomicsThe Prize in Economic Sciences was awarded to three American economists, Ben S. Bernanke, Douglas W. Diamondand Philip H. Dybvig “for research on banks and financial crises,” the Nobel Prize committee announced on Monday. By studying the history of American economics, particularly the Great Depression of the 1930s,they improved how we understand the role of banks during times of hardship and the bank’s impact on societal functions.1．What prize is related to the research with bones?A．Physiology.B．Chemistry.C．Physics.D．Economics.2．For what study did Ben S. Bernanke, Douglas W. Diamond and Philip H. Dybvig win the prize?A．About societal functions.B．About the history of America.C．About banks and financial crises.D．About the Great Depression of the 1930s.3．What do the prizes for physics, chemistry and economics have in common?A．Their winners are from different countries.B．They have three winners.C．They improve new technology.D．They help people understand hardship.BIndustrial agriculture is often held up as the solution to feeding the world’s growing population. But small farms of about 25 acres or less produce over 70 percent of the world’s food. To raise awareness of the contribution of these farmers, a global photo exhibition, We Feed the World, is to open on October 12 in London.“Industrial agriculture, which mainly focuses on a few types of crops, is not the only answer,” says art director Francesca Price. “We want these images to empower people to support their local food system.”By growing traditional and non-commercial varieties, small farms support biodiversity and increase food security. With only 12 plants and five animal species making up 75 percent of what the world eats, food systems will be easily hurt by natural disasters and disease outbreaks. However, traditional farming communities are working to preserve their ancient seed diversity.Keeping variety alive is very important in the face of climate change. In the future, researchers might need to get particular genes from one variety to help another to adapt to warmer, stormier, or drier weather, or to save a prized variety from disease.Contrary to the false impression held by the public, small farms that practise traditional agriculture can be highly productive. Studies show that the output of crops rises when there’s a wider diversity of crops being grown on a farm, and money is saved since the need for harmful fertilizer and other chemicals is reduced.“The photographs of family farmers may tell just a few local stories, but the message is universal,” says photographer Cheryl Newman. “I hope that the images will leave viewers thinking deeply about where their food comes from and the impact it has on the world around us.”4．What is the purpose of the photo exhibition?A．To help small farmers to sell their produce.B．To show the challenges faced by small farmers.C．To draw attention to small farmers’ contribution.D．To help farmers to fight against industrial agriculture.5．What can we say about the industrial agriculture?A．It produces more food than small farms in total.B．It harms biodiversity and decreases food security.C．It has been competing unfairly with small farms.D．It is the only way to feed the world’s population.6．Why is it important to preserve the traditional and non-commercial crops?A．Their genes are much better.B．Their output is much higher.C．They may help improve the other crops.D．They don’t need chemical fertilizers at all.7．What is the text mainly about?A．The importance of traditional small farms.B．The problems with the industrial agriculture.C．The consequences of fast-growing population.D．The impact of climate change on agriculture.CA 57-year-old Tonga man survived 27 hours at sea in the ocean after a tsunami wave swept him out to sea.The incident (事件) happened after the huge eruption of a volcano in the island kingdom of Tonga. Lisala Folau said that he was painting his house when his brother told him a tsunami was moving toward the small island of Atata.Folau is disabled and has difficulty walking. He said he climbed a tree to escape the first wave but when he got down, another big wave swept him away. “I could hear my son calling from land, but I didn’t want to answer him because I didn’t want him to swim out to rescue me,” said Folau.Folau was swept out to sea at about 7 p. m. local time. Then, he said he swam another eight hours to a second island with no one living on it before finally swimming again to the main island of Tongatapu. The experience lasted more than 27 hours and covered 7.5 kilometers.Folau said that he went underwater nine times. “On the eighth time I thought, ‘The next time I go underwater, my arms are the only things that are keeping me above water’,” said Folau. “So the ninth time I went under and came up and grabbed a log (原木). And that’s what kept me going.”In an interview, Folau said he was frightened when the waves took him from land into the sea. “What came into my mind when I was helpless at sea was one thing,” he said. “That was my family.”The amazing story of Folau’s survival was shared on the Internet. And people described him as a “real-life Aquaman (潜水侠)”.8．Why does the author mention “27 hours at sea”?A．To make his article out of the ordinary.B．To give a description of a long journey.C．To stress the difficulty of the survival.D．To deepen readers’ impression of tsunami.9．What does the underlined word “escape” in paragraph 3 probably mean?A．Sit on something.B．Go after something.C．Experience physical pain.D．Get away from danger.10．What supported Folau when he wanted to give up?A．A log.B．His Family.C．His experience.D．A real-life Aquaman.11．Where can we probably read the text?A．A news website.B．A blog post.C．A travel brochure.D．A science magazine.DCases of the omicron variant of the coronavirus popped up in countries on opposite sides of the world on Sunday and many governments rushed to close their borders even as scientists cautioned that it’s not clear if the new variant is more alarming than other versions of the virus.The variant was identified days ago by researchers in South Africa, and much is still not known about it, including whether it is more infectious, more likely to cause serious illness or more able to evade the protection of vaccines. But many countries rushed to act, reflecting anxiety about anything that could prolong the pandemic that has killed more than 5 million people.Israel decided to bar entry to foreigners, and Morocco said it would stop all incoming flights for two weeks starting Monday. Scientists in several places — from Hong Kong to Europe to North America — have confirmed its presence. TheNetherlands reported 13 omicron cases on Sunday, and both Canada and Australia each found two.Dr. Francis Collins, director of the National Institutes of Health in the United States, meanwhile, emphasized that there is no data yet that suggests the new variant causes more serious illness than previous COVID-19 variants. Collins, along with several experts, said that the news should make everyone redouble their efforts to use the tools the world already has, including vaccinations, booster shots and measures such as mask-wearing. “I know, America, you’re really tired about hearing those things, but the virus is not tired of us, ”Collins said.As more omicron cases have been found in more countries such as Dutch, Canada, Australia, many countries are introducing travel bans or closing borders, though they go against the advice of the WHO. It has warmed against any overreaction before the variant is thoroughly studied, noting that travel restrictions may play “a role in slightly reducing the spread of COVID-19 but place a heavy burden on lives and livelihoods. ”Spain announced it won’t admit unvaccinated British visitors starting Dec. 1. David Hui, a respiratory medicine expert in Hong Kong, agreed with that strategy, saying the two people who tested positive for the omicron variant had received the Pfizer vaccine and exhibited very mild symptoms, such as a sore throat.12．What is the meaning of the underlined word “evade” in Paragraph 2?A．cause B．engage in C．assist D．escape from13．What did Dr. Francis Collins imply according to his view?A．The new variant causes more serious illness than previous variants.B．All the countries should close their borders.C．Regular public health measures are effective against the variant.D．Omicron is more alarming than other versions of the virus.14．What can we learn from the passage?A．Any reaction before the variant is thoroughly studied is essential.B．Omicron has originated in South Africa.C．Unvaccinated British visitors will be infected with the virus.D．WHO is opposed to omicron-related travel bans.15．Which might be the best title for this passage?A．More Omicron Cases Emerge As the World Rushes to Learn MoreB．All Countries Should Introduce Travel BansC．Vaccinations and Booster Shots Are of Little Use in Fighting Against OmicronD．Omicron Has Already Made Americans Tired of the Disease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。
