福建省莆田第一中学2023-2024学年高二下学期期中考试英语试题一、阅读理解Chocolate is delicious, we all know that. But it isn’t just for eating, as these chocolate works of art clearly show.Chocolate couchIn 2009, chocolate company Galaxy used 250kg of their own chocolate to make a chocolate couch. The couch was part of their “Irresistible Reads” campaign, which was designed to arouse interest in books. It was put on display in Victoria Embankment Gardens in London. Photos were taken of British TV actress Emilia Fox sitting on the couch reading a book.Chocolate mailboxIn 2011, seven artists from New York built a chocolate mailbox decorated with white truffle hearts to celebrate Valentine’s Day. The mailbox was on display on Fifth Avenue. People could post their love letters there, and the post office would stamp and mail them for free during the three weeks leading up to February 14.Chocolate wallA wall of chocolate at a railway station in Utrecht, the Netherlands became many food lovers’ new place to mark in 2019. The whole wall was made of chocolate, making it very fun, good-looking, and of course, delicious. Viewers were encouraged to touch, smell and taste it, interpreting the artwork in their own ways.Chocolate shoesOne of London’s greatest chocolates, Phil Neal once created a collection of high-heeled shoes made of chocolate. Neal used top-quality Venezuelan chocolate, filled the shoes with gauche and strawberries, and decorated them with 22-carat gold. The shoes were on sale at London’s luxury chocolate shop Theobroma Cacao.1．Why was the chocolate couch made?A．To display a product.B．To promote reading.C．To celebrate an occasion.D．To recommend gardening.2．On which day could a letter be posted free via the chocolate mailbox?.A．January 29.B．January 5.C．February 18.D．February 25. 3．Which of the following was for sale?A．The chocolate couch.B．The chocolate mailbox.C．The chocolate wall.D．The chocolate shoes.When Param Jaggi was five years old, he had a passion to take things apart to see what was inside. He started with toys and even broke a computer, which made his parents not too pleased. As he got older, he shifted from breaking things to building things, which greatly comforted his parents. In middle school, he started working on projects in his kitchen laboratory, and his first project was making biofuels.Although Jaggi’s parents initially thought his experiments were just a boyhood fancy, he remained determined to make a difference to the environment. Eventually, his parents came around and started supporting his dreams. Jaggi’s interest continued as he grew up, but he focused more on solving real problems, especially those related to the environment.At 17, Jaggi went beyond his school projects and co-founded Ecoviate, a company that uses technology to solve everyday energy and environmental problems. He planned to transform people’s idea that going green is expensive, by making available a series of affordable products that are easy to use. Through Ecoviate, he designed products that could contribute to a greener future. One of his notable inventions was the “CO2ube”, a device that could reduce carbon emissions, and it’s available to many people at low prices.Young Jaggi, now a third-grade college student studying engineering and economics, has become a famous eco-innovator and his company is developing promisingly. However, Jaggi’s vision to save the environment goes beyond creating products. He plans to launch an online platform through Ecoviate, which will encourage young students interested in science and technology to get actively involved in innovation and invention. Students can submit a science project online, and talk about the help that they need to make the project a reality.4．What can we learn about Jaggi?A．He dreamed to be an engineer.B．He was curious by nature.C．He always annoyed his parents.D．He was addicted to playing toys.5．Which of the following can best replace the underlined part “came around” in Paragraph 2?A．Walked around.B．Paid a visit.C．Changed their minds.D．Become conscious.6．What drove Jaggi to develop affordable and user-friendly products?A．His love for greener devices.B．His pursuit of academic career.C．His hope to boost green industry.D．His desire to make a difference.7．Why does Jaggie plan to launch an online platform?A．To empower young inventors.B．To promote smart products.C．To provide eco-themed courses.D．To offer environmentalists funds.A new study led by researchers at the Yale School of Public Health finds air pollution may negatively impact standardized test scores. Using data from the North Carolina Education Research Data Center, the researchers tracked 2.8 million public school students in North Carolina from 2001 to 2018 and measured their exposure to PM2.5 found in polluted air. While previous research has shown negative effects on academic performance, it has relied on relatively small or less representative samples. “The biggest strength of this study is that we tracked every student in North Carolina in those years, for the whole time period that they were in the public schools,” said Emma Zang, coauthor of the study.The study also finds that test scores of ethnic minorities and girls are disproportionately (不成比例地) impacted by PM2.5 levels. “Females and ethnic minorities face sexism and racism,” said Zang. “There are a lot of policies that are not friendly towards them. So, when they’re exposed to the same level of air pollution, they don’t have the resources to lessen the negative influences.” More privileged populations, however, might have more resources that allow them to live in a better environment, such as in houses with air purifiers.“The level of PM2.5 pollution in the US is relatively low, but students living in areas below the current air quality standard of annual PM2.5 concentration are still negatively impacted by air pollution when it comes to their test scores,” said Zang. “We should aim to strengthen the annual PM2.5 standard to better protect our children.”Air pollution is known to contribute to disease and death, and it also negatively affects students’ academic performance even at low levels of pollution. The subsequent studies, theresearchers said, would involve looking at whether the findings hold true in different areas, and also the reasons behind the ethnic and sexual differences.8．What’s the greatest advantage of the study?A．Tracking each student for 18 years.B．Collecting more comprehensive data.C．Measuring students’ PM2.5 exposure precisely.D．Building links between airpollution and test scores.9．According to Zang, ethnic minorities and girls ________.A．benefit from current policies on PM2.5 pollutionB．have the lowest test scores due to their identitiesC．lack resources to reduce the impact of air pollutionD．suffer from educational inequalities owing to their background10．What’s Zang doing in paragraph 3?A．Offering a suggestion.B．Raising a doubt.C．Making a comparison.D．Giving a prediction.11．What might be the focus of the follow-up studies?A．Applicability of the findings to other regions.B．Ways to address racial and sexualdifferences.C．Long-term impacts of air pollution on children.D．Establishment of PM2.5 standard fit for children.Today, poetry and science are often considered to be mutually exclusive(互相排斥)career paths. But that wasn’t always the case. The mathematician Ada Lovelace and the physicist James Clerk Maxwell were both accomplished poets. The poet John Keats was a licensed surgeon. Combining the two practices fell out of favor in the 1800s. But translating research into lyrics, haiku, and other poetic forms is resurging(再现)among scientists as they look for alternative ways to inspire others with their findings.“Poetry is a great tool for questioning the world,” says Sam Illingworth, a poet and a geoscientist who works at the University of Western Australia. Through workshops and a new science-poetry journal, called Consilience, Illingworth is helping scientists to translate their latest results into poems that can attract appreciation from those outside of their immediate scientificfield.Stephany Mazon, a scientist from the University of Helsinki in Finland, joined one of Illingworth’s workshops. In the workshop, she was grouped with other scientists and tasked with writing a haiku, a 17-syllable-long poem, which spotlighted water, a fluid that featured in all of the group members’ research projects. “It was a lot of fun, and surprisingly easy to write the poem,” Mazon says. She plans to continue writing. “We do a disservice(伤害)to ourselves to think that scientists can’t be artistic and that art can’t be used to communicate scientific ideas,” Mazon says.That viewpoint is echoed by Illingworth, who thinks science communication initiatives are too often dominated by public lectures with their hands-off PowerPoint slides. “Actually, when science communication involves writing and sharing poems, it invites a two-way dialogue between experts and nonexperts,” he says. Scientist-poet Manjula Silva, an educator at Imperial College London, agrees. Poetry provides a way to translate complex scientific concepts into a language that everyone can understand, Silva says.Scientists and poets are both trying to understand the world and communicate that understanding with others. The distinction between scientists and poets is less than people might think. We’re all just people with hopefully really interesting things to say and to share. 12．What is the purpose of mentioning the celebrities in paragraph 1?A．To display they were talented.B．To confirm they were out of favor.C．To encourage different career paths.D．To show poetry and science can be combined.13．What are Illingworth’s workshops aimed to do?A．Promote a new science-poetry journal.B．Inspire outsiders to pursue their careers in science.C．Encourage science communication through poems.D．Get scientists to exchange ideas about the latest research.14．What does Illingworth think of the dominant ways of science communication?A．Conventional.B．Effective.C．Innovative.D．Complex. 15．Which of the following is the best title for the text?A．Scientists Take on PoetryB．Scientists and Poets Think AlikeC．Poetry: A Great Tool to Question the WorldD．Science Communication: A Two-way DialoguePerhaps you’ve stopped doing what you want because you’re afraid of what others think of you. You feel that you must do what they expect and that you must meet their expectations, otherwise you’ll lose their approval. 16 Then, you’ll be able to do what you want freely.Think about yourself, about what you really like and are interested in. You must lead your life independently.17 However, you might feel afraid to do it because you’ ve always done everything to gain the approval of others. You need to get out of that zone, move to new places, and explore your full potential.By surrounding yourself with people who think like you, you’ll realize that you don’t feel judged. Then, you’ll start doing what you really want. 18 Your new friends will integrate into your life and you’ll also keep your genuine friends. On the other hand, those who are always ready to see the negative and question what you’ re trying to do will drift away.To overcome your fear of what others think and of their non-approval, you should start talking about your plans, For instance, you might want to tell a handful of friends about your wishes and dreams. 19 You’ll feel confident in yourself and you’ll be able to go on your new path without any fear.It’s unavoidable that not everything will be plain sailing, and you’ll find obstacles along your way. 20 People in your environment often don’t understand what you do no matter how much you explain it, so ignore them.A．There is no need to think about what you want.B．You don’t have to change your circle of friends.C．Your life belongs to you, as well as your actions.D．By talking to them, you’ll be able to organize your plans and ideas.E．If this is the case, it’s time to start working on your self-esteem (自尊).F．You must do what you want without being affected by what others think.G．However, you must trust in yourself and seek the necessary strength to move forward.二、完形填空At a family picnic for employees of the company where my father worked, they held a contest for children.

However, it stimulated my 26 for thinking outside the box.It 27 me to see the kids throwing harder when the handkerchief always caught the air and died. It was obvious that using the same 28 would not work. Suppose I tied a 29 inside the handkerchief? When they inspected it, I’d be 30 . So I began tying the handkerchief around itself to make it small and 31 packed together to keep it from unfolding. When I approached the line, people were already laughing, 32 a big strong-looking boy like me casting it just a few inches.I took a long wind-up, and the balled handkerchief 33 off maybe 60 feet away. The laughing 34 in collective shock. I had not broken the rules.

For years, the FormLA Landscaping designers have worked to improve the landscape of Los Angeles by replacing over 20,000 square feet of lawns with indigenous(土生土长的) plants, which can help fight climate change.In 2010, the couple purchased a 1953 house. The home featured a bare backyard of dirt, rocks and trees. Soon after buying the home, the couple covered the yard with 12 inches of rich soil and took care of the original plants. When a large Italian stone pine tree fell over four years later, they decided it was time to address the exposed part.When it came time to choose plants, the couple were understandably overwhelmed. They made a list of 70 different native plants. Then they narrowed the list by dividing the plants into three categories: plants to save water, plants to fight erosion(侵蚀), and plants for food. The first chosen plants included California lilacs, Nevins barberry and Catalina cherries.As soon as they decided on the plants, the couple arranged them in the garden accordingly. One of the garden’s most distinctive touches is the use of existing rocks. “We make sure that we move them to areas where we like to hang out so that we can be part of that experience,” said Cassy.After the natives were planted, the ecosystem took off. Birds, lizards and crows are nowregular visitors to the yard, along with bees, ladybugs and butterflies. This landscape is more than just a garden; it’s a natural habitat.“Everyone deserves to find the right fit,” said Cassy. Landscaping affects our health, our mood and our planet. Our authentic beauty can save us in so many ways.”4. What do Cassy and Kirk mainly use to improve the landscape of Los Angeles?A. Existing rocks.B. Native plantsC. Special garden designs.D. Specially designed lawns5. When did the couple begin to add new plants to the backyard?A. In 1953.B. In 1957.C. In 2010D. In 2014.6. Which factor had the couple considered when they chose plants for the backyard?A. The size of the plantsB. The cost of the plants.C. Being environmentally friendlyD. Being able to fight insects7. Why is Cassy and Kirk’s backyard considered more than just a garden?A. It has become a tourist attraction.B. It follows the rules of natural ecology.C. It mainly consists of original plantsD. It makes foreign creatures feel at home.CTo someone stuck in a traffic jam, the ability to soar right over other cars seems like a dream. Inventors and businessmen tried to make flying cars, but have never been able to. That may be changing. Many companies are competing to be the first to develop a flying car.One of the ideas being developed is a car with wings that unfold for flight. But most are more like helicopters instead of cars and they are operated by a battery-powered motor.Still, some companies are moving forward. They see a need for “air taxis”, especially as cities grow more congested. These taxis would send passengers to the rooftops of office buildings during rush hours.Charles Eastlake is a professor at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. He says advances in technology have opened the door to a whole new world of flying machines. But he also expresses some hesitancy. “It’s possible that people actually use self-flying air taxis in the next 10 or 15 years. But the challenges are big.”The key is to make longer-lasting batteries. Batteries now could keep an air taxi in the sky for about 15 to 30 minutes. That probably isn’t enough time to transport passengers, depending onhow fast it flies.Companies will also have to get permission from the government. The government office in charge of flying says further study is needed on flying cars. It thinks the ideas being worked on are good ones, but they must be safe.Reducing noise is another challenge because air taxis will be taking off and landing in areas with a lot of people. Creating enough landing pads to deal with many flying cars at the same time is also a challenge.Though there are so many challenges for humans to deal with, inventors and businessmen think their dream of making flying cars will come true soon.8. What do we know about flying cars now?A. They can fly as fast as helicopters.B. Their appearance isn’t like normal cars.C. They mainly depend on the sunlight. D They can fold their wings easily.9. The underlined word “congested” in Paragraph 3 probably means_______.A. modernB. developedC. crowdedD. convenient10. According to Charles Eastlake, we can infer that he _________.A. supposes that making flying cars is beyond his powerB. advises to apply the advanced technology to flying carsC. still has confidence in making flying cars into realityD. will devote himself to designing flying machines11. The challenges of making flying cars are mentioned show_______.A. noise is the biggest problemB. making flying cars is only a dreamC. safety is of importance to flying carsD. there is a long way to make real flying carsDA new study has found that cats can connect with people in the same way as dogs and children. In experiments in cats and humans, the researchers found that cats do show specific “attachment styles toward human caregivers”. This suggests that cats show some of the same social abilities that historically have only been linked to dogs.In a statement, writers of the study said the evidence suggests that both cat and dogattachments to humans may represent the same kind of connection that exists between children and their caretakers. “Our study indicates that when cats live in a state of dependency with a human, that attachment(依恋) behavior is flexible and the majority of cats use humans as a source of comfort.”The researchers designed experiments similar to the methods used to measure human attachment behavior. For example, other studies have observed how babies react to being reunited with caregivers after being separated for short periods. In this experiment, adult and young cats first spent two minutes in a room with their caregivers. The cats then spent two minutes in the room alone, followed by a two-minute reunion period with the caregivers.About 70 cats were studied. The behavior of the animals was observed by experts who divided them into two groups. Sixty-four percent were judged to be “securely attached” to caregivers, while 36 percent were found to be “insecurely attached” to caregivers.The cats with secure attachments showed several signs “reduced stress” levels. These cats were found to be more comfortable and effectively balance their attention between the person and their surroundings. “The majority of cats use their owner as a source of security. Your cat is depending on you to feel secure when they are stressed out,” researchers said. They added that the results showed that the level of secure and insecure attachments in cats is very close to those measured in human babies. In humans, research has found that 65 percent of babies are also securely attached to their caregivers.12. What can we infer from the passage?A. Cats feel less secure when they stay with their caregivers.B. Only dogs are much like children in the attachment to caregivers.C. People used to think that only dogs were attached to their caregivers.D. Cats and dogs have different ways to be attached to their caregivers.13. How are cats attached to humans according to the experiment?A. Cats depend on humans in every way.B. Cats feel less stressed with humans aside.C. Most cats use humans as a source of comfort.D. Most cats feel anxious with humans not present.14. What could be the signs of the cats with secure attachments?A. They stayed close to their caregivers.B. Their stress was obviously reduced.C. They gave more attention to the surroundings.D. They liked to be with children better than with adults.15. Which column of the newspaper does this passage belong to?A. Science.B. HealthC. Zoology.D. Entertainment.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。

一、阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）ABefore traveling around the world, take some time and find out what sightseeing destinations are. Some of those spots that most guides mention are the following thrilling attractions.Victoria FallsVictoria Falls has always been considered to be an incredible place worth taking pictures of. There are a lot of spots that tourists love. Some of them are very dangerous for people. Yet the brave are ready to overcome their fear for a shot of lifetime.Arctic Cliff FaceA cliff does not make the most comfortable place for camping. Camping on the ground is far safer anyway. Despite all the inconvenience, the new trend is rapidly gaining popularity among climbing enthusiasts and outdoor addicts.Auckland’s Sky TowerAuckland’s Sky Tower is popular with bungee jumpers. Some celebrities, such as Beyonce, have already tried it, which proves that the place is not only safe but popular as well. The tower is 630 feet tall. At the top of the structure there is an observation deck. Trust us, most of those reading this article would prefer to stay on the ground rather than climb up this scary structure.North Yungas RoadThe Road of Death is the right name given to a road in Bolivia. Hundreds of people die here every year. The major cause of all those accidents is the road. The problem is that it is too narrow and badly maintained while here the traffic is heavier than anywhere else. Nevertheless, it seems like tourists will continue visiting this strange road despite its scary nickname.1. What is Victoria Falls famous for?A. Its narrow and badly maintained roadB. Its dangerous but attractive spots for taking picturesC. Its scary structureD. Its thrilling camping2. North Yungas Road is called “the Road of Death” because ________. .A. the traffic is the heaviestB. it is built on the edge of the rockC. each year many people lose their lives thereD. there is no necessary protection equipment3. If you like bungee jumping, you can go to ________. .A. Victoria FallsB. Arctic Cliff FaceC. Auckland’s Sky TowerD. North Yungas Road4. What do the four places have in common?A. They are a bit life-threatening.B. They all have beautiful scenery.C. They are popular with climbers.D. They have been visited by celebrities.BHow do young children learn to have good values? How can parents teach their children about the importance of kindness and patience? At a time more and more parents worry about the violent images (暴力形象) their children see on TV and on the Internet. So many parents are turning to fairy tales. They want to teach their children how to behave in society by this way.It is believed that fairy tales have a great influence on children because they describe the two sides of good and evil (邪恶) very clearly. When children hear the tales, they learn to care about others’ feelings. In each tale, they can see that there are many different kinds of people in the world and that we all have a choice about what kind of person we want to be. We can choose to do good actions, rather than bad ones, in our lives.What kind of values can children learn from fairy tales? In The Princess and the Pea (《豌豆公主》), a poorly dressed girl says she is a princess. Few people believe her, so she is given a difficult test. When she passes the test, we learn that her dream comes true because she stays true to herself. In the Little Mermaid (《小美人鱼》), the mermaid, who lives under the sea, wishes to be with the humans on land. Through her experiences, we learn about the importance of living with and accepting other cultures.Teaching values is probably the main reason for encouraging children to read fairy tales. These tales can teach children lessons about human relationships that have been accepted around the world for many centuries. This might be the reason why they have been around for so long and will not disappear any time soon.5. Why do fairy tales have a great influence on children?A. Because fairy tales can teach them how to make a choice.B. Because fairy tales can help them get higher scores at school.C. Because they can learn how to avoid most difficulties in their lives.D. Because good and evil are shown in a way they can easily understand.6.The Little Mermaid may be helpful when children ________.A. are given a difficult testB. make friends with foreignersC. wish to be a princess or princeD. are going to lie to their parents7.The author writes the text mainly to ________.A. introduce some fairy talesB. talk about the history of fairy tales.C. discuss how to improve human relationshipsD. show how fairy tales help children shape valuesCMetro Pocket GuideMetrorail (地铁)Each passenger needs a farecard to enter and go out.

Trying to help injured, displaced or sick creatures can be heartbreaking; survival is never certain. However, when it works, it is simply beautiful.I got a rescue call from a woman in Muttontown. She had found a young owl(猫头鹰) on the ground. When I arrived, I saw a 2-to 3-week-old owl. It had already been placed in a carrier for safety.I examined the chick(雏鸟) and it seemed fine. If I could locate the nest, I might have been able to put it back, but no luck. My next work was to construct a nest and anchor(固定) it in a tree.The homeowner was very helpful. A wire basket was found. I put some pine branches into the basket to make this nest safe and comfortable. I placed the chick in the nest, and it quickly calmed down.Now all that was needed were the parents, but they were absent. I gave the homeowner a recording of the hunger screams of owl chicks. These advertise the presence of chicks to adults; they might also encourage our chick to start calling as well. I gave the owner as much information as possible and headed home to see what news the night might bring.A nervous night to be sure,but sometimes the spirits of nature smile on us all! The homeowner called to say that the parents had responded to the recordings. I drove over and saw the chick in the nest looking healthy and active. And it was accompanied in the nest by the greatest sight of all —LUNCH! The parents had done their duty and would probably continue to do so.12.What is unavoidable in the author’s rescue work according to paragraph 1？A. Getting injured in his work.B. Efforts made in vain.C. Creatures forced out of their homes.D. Feeling uncertain about his future.13. Why was the author called to Muttontown？A.To look at a baby owl.B. To cure a young owl.C. To rescue a woman.D. To take care of a woman.14. What made the chick calm down？A. Its parents.B. A recording.C.Some food.D. A new nest.15. How would the author feel about the outcome of the event？A.It’s unexpected.B. It’s humorous.C. It’s beautiful.D. It’s discouraging二、阅读七选五（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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。
