So while I was taking pictures, Maia, wanting to prove her 18 as anassistant, began interviewing a couple in the same ship. Unable to spell words, she 19 their answers in crayon. Then when we sat together at lunch, my daughter 20 the kids’ meal and requested the salmon (三文鱼). She explained that kids’ meals might not always be 21 during travel, so her food 22 was “try everything.” That trip proved Maia as such an easy travel 23 .When she was six, we flew to the Riviera Maya in Mexico. I was impressed by how 24 fearless she was when we dived along a reef(礁石). And I was 25 by how she cleverly worked out that she could order chocolate cake from room 26 alone. But it was on the 27 home, when my glued-to-my-arm kid said it was okay that the airline didn’t 28 us together, that I realized how much travel was 29 her. It helped her become more 30 .As Mai a grew older, travel continued to 31 her life. We explored the Amazon rainforest, where she learned the importance of 32 our planet. We visited famous 33 in China , where she developed a deep appreciation in its rich cultures and long history. And we 34 at an orphanage (孤儿院) in Africa, where she learned the meaning of love and care.Travel has also helped Maia develop important life 35 such as independence, problem-solving, and communication. I am grateful for what travel has had on my daughter, and I am excited to see what the future holds for her.16．A．course B．talk C．journey D．quarrel 17．A．helping B．teaching C．organizing D．interviewing 18．A．worth B．belief C．discovery D．demand 19．A．spelled B．reported C．found D．drew 20．A．picked up B．turned down C．searched for D．complained about 21．A．affordable B．delicate C．available D．delicious 22．A．chain B．motto C．preference D．supply 23．A．agent B．client C．assistant D．partner 24．A．cheerfully B．foolishly C．smartly D．unpleasantly 25．A．persuaded B．puzzled C．criticized D．offended 26．A．cleaning B．service C．rent D．design27．A．train B．ship C．flight D．bus 28．A．invite B．see C．link D．seat 29．A．shaping B．comforting C．hurting D．ruining 30．A．intelligent B．adaptable C．respectful D．changeable 31．A．rule B．disturb C．enrich D．save 32．A．protecting B．controlling C．destroying D．creating 33．A．sites B．people C．parks D．shops 34．A．survived B．played C．volunteered D．spoke 35．A．styles B．values C．attitudes D．skills三、阅读理解If you are applying to universities overseas, you can’t avoid having a video interview, whether you like it or not. Here are some steps to follow when preparing for the perfect video interview.Step 1: Start with the basicsBefore your interview, find out what platform or application the school uses for video interviews, and make sure that you know how to operate it.You need to set up a clear and focused interview environment. You also need a strong internet connection.Step 2: Get prepped (做好准备)Once the interview begins, resist the urge to watch yourself, and make sure you are looking at the camera as much as possible. Try to anticipate the questions that they will ask you. Interview questions all boil down to three basic categories:Tell us about yourself.What do you bring to our program/why should we admit you?Do you have any questions about the school?Before the interview, prepare at least two to three minutes on each of these topics.Step 3: PracticePractice your answers with a friend or mentor. Get them to ask you questions and answerthem over video. If possible, work with a person who is fluent in the language of your interviewers, and get them to give you notes and comments about pronunciation or presentation.Step 4: Don’t just interview... converseInterviews are about getting to know you as a person and how well you can interact with others. Though you may have extensive notes, try to act natural - do not read directly from any prepared statements, and don’t memorize answers to repeat. Listening is just as critical as speaking in this situation, too. Make sure you understand the question that is posed to you and ask an interviewer to repeat it or expand upon it if you feel you are confused.36．In preparing for the perfect video interview, you need to ________.A．have quick access to the Internet B．know how to operate the interviewC．fill out an application on the platform D．find a suitable environment for the interview 37．Once the interview begins, what should you keep in mind?A．Keeping quiet unless asked to talk.B．Making eye contact as much as possible.C．Expecting the questions that are often asked.D．Preparing answers on some of thequestions.38．Which of the following is TRUE about Step 3?A．You should be fluent in the language of your interviewers.B．Practicing with your friend over the phone may be helpful.C．Practicing in advance may help improve your performance.D．Notes and comments from the interviewers are practical.39．When doing an interview, you ________.A．are supposed to memorize answers to repeat B．must ask the interviewers to explain the questionsC．can read prepared statements as naturally as you can D．should attach equalimportance to listening as speaking40．Who is probably the author of the passage?A．An expert in university admissions.B．A visitor to different universities abroad.C．An editor in charge of a travel magazine.D．A student applying for universities overseas.When Milla Bizzot to finished her first 24-hour obstacle race, she went shoulder to shoulderwith experienced competitors, ran 36 miles and completed hundreds of obstacles, all at the age of 9.“There are some double takes on the course, but she has been an inspiration to people who see her out there competing like that,” said Christian Bizzotto, Milla’s father and coach, who was proud of her. Milla is very fit for her age, and she proved it in completing the BattleFrog Xtreme 24-hour race in Miami.Milla also used the event to inspire other kids to be active, and show how competing in obstacle racing has helped her deal with being bullied at school. “We wanted to make her feel more empowered and make her feel that she wasn’t weak, and that changed her whole mindset,” her father said.In preparing for the 24-hour race, Milla trained 20 hours a week for 90 days, doing exercise in the gym for 4 hours every day after school.“The reactions are 90 percent good, but some are totally negative,” Christian said. “I’ve had people message me on Facebook saying I’m a child abuser, and that no 9-year-old should be doing a 24-hour race. But her own doctors were there supporting her and cheering her on. I want her to be a kid, and this is just something she really wants to do.”CrossFit and obstacle course racing have also helped Christian turn around his life. He got injured in a motorcycle accident. After he was finally able to get around without using a walker, he began his recovery by going for walks on the beach with Milla, and then began running every day.Next, he joined a CrossFit gym and enjoyed it so much that he opened his own gym to train others for events like CrossFit, BattleFrog and Spartan races. “I just wanted to create a hero that Milla could look up to,” he said.Next up for Milla is an invitation-only “Athletes Race”. Competitors also have to raise $5,000 for charity.41．Christian Bizzotto, Milla’s father and coach, ______.A．was very strict with MillaB．was satisfied with what Milla didC．lost his legs in a motorcycle accidentD．threw his walker with the help of CrossFit42．What can we learn about Milla?A．She was always bullied by her schoolmates.B．She began to run because she was physically weak.C．Her father wanted her to get benefit from the obstacle race.D．She became more confident after the 24-hour obstacle race.43．During her training for the 24-hour obstacle race, Milla most probably _________.A．had two days’ rest every weekB．was always running with her fatherC．spent over 4 hours every day of a weekD．took a hit because her father was injured44．The reactions Christian got on the Internet ______.A．told us that Milla had a hard childhoodB．showed that he was a real abuserC．encouraged Milla to challenge more difficult runsD．were mixed but what Milla did was supported by her doctors45．What Christian did after his injury was mainly to ______.A．make money to open a gymB．set a good example to MillaC．make money to raise his familyD．get recovered as soon as possibleSeveral new species of tropical birds have been found on remote islands in Indonesia. Researchers have discerned the Wakatobi sunbird, a new species that lives on the small Wakatobi Islands, located in central Indonesia. They also studied olive-backed (橄榄背的) sunbirds and black sunbirds and found that some of the birds they examined actually belonged to some previously unrecognized species.The new Wakatobi sunbird looks similar to the olive-backed sunbird, but has darker feathers, shorter wings, and a higher-toned song. Zoologists believe that because it has such short wings, it never spread beyond the tiny islands. The olive-backed sunbird, however, can fly long distances, so it was able to inhabit other locations.These discoveries were part of a long-time cooperation between scientists at Trinity College Dublin and Universitas Halu Oleo in Sulawesi, Indonesia.“Specifically, we became interested in the Wakatobi sunbird because of the work of Ernst Hartert, a German bird expert active at the beginning of the 20th century,” Fionn O Marcaigh, first author on the paper, says. “He described the Wakatobi sunbird as a population with distinctive dark feathers, but he and the rest of the scientific community eventually decided that it was only a subspecies of the widespread olive-backed sunbird. We were eager to use modern methods to put this to the test.”For their research, scientists used DNA, recordings of songs and body measurement analysis to compare the sunbirds they studied, “We used a system called integrative taxonomy, which combines data on a number of aspects of the birds, including their songs, feathers, and body structures,” O Marcaigh says. “We recorded their songs using digital recorders, measured live birds caught and released by licensed netters, and used computational statistics to analyze the differences.” The scientists also obtained genetic samples which they analyzed in the lab and they found that the patterns they found were also reflected in the birds’ DNA．“I’m excited that we’ve added to the list of known species from this wonderful part of the world,” O Marcaigh says.46．What does the underlined word “discerned” in paragraph 1 probably mean?A．Overestimated.B．Imagined.C．Overlooked.D．Identified. 47．How does the Wakatobi sunbird differ from the olive-backed sunbird?A．It has colorful wings.B．It flies shorter distances.C．It lives throughout Indonesia.D．It sings more beautiful songs.48．What can we know about Ernst Hartert?A．He is a scientist from Universitas Halu Oleo.B．He still takes an active part in bird research.C．He is the first scientist to use DNA to study birds.D．He inspired the researchers’ interest in the Wakatobi sunbird.49．Why did O Marcaigh study the Wakatobi sunbird?A．To determine its category.B．To investigate its habitat and behavior.C．To analyze its genetic makeup.D．To continue the study of Ernst Hartert. 50．Which aspect of the research does paragraph 5 mainly talk about?A．Its methods.B．Its theories.C．Its impact.D．Its background.To put it simply, stress can be the father of growth, while a crisis can be the mother of innovation. The notion that great good can emerge from great adversity (逆境) is as old as the legend of the great phoenix (凤凰), who not only arises but soars to new heights from its own ashes.In 1598, William Shakespeare penned the play As You Like It. One of the most famous lines from that play is spoken in Act 2 Scene 1 by Duke Senior, “Sweet are the uses of adversity which, like the toad (癞蛤蟆), ugly and venomous, wears yet a precious jewel in his head.” Even 500 years ago, the potential value of adversity was recognized, not by a great healer, but by a great playwright. Can this really be the case?Fast-forward to the great silent film star Mary Pickford. She was called the most popular actress in the world in the 1910s and 1920s. Failing to continue acting with the advent of the “talkies”(movies with recorded sound), she co-founded the film company United Artists. Shifting her talents to producing and directing, she became the most powerful woman in the entertainment industry. She once noted, “You may have a fresh start any moment you choose, for this thing that we call ‘failure’ is not the falling down, but the staying down.”Rather than fear and try to avoid adversity, perhaps we should accept the inevitability (必然) of adversity and prepare for it. Indeed, positive things can emerge from adversity.Adversity reveals true opportunities for those preparing to take advantage. Dr. John Krumboltz’s happenstance theory states that career and life development is best fostered by preparing for opportunities that you may not know even exist in the current moment. Numerous unpredictable factors are potentially shaping the future. These include the crises adversity brings.In Friedrich Nietzsche’s book, Behold the Man, the German philosopher writes that a person who has “turned out well” could be recognized by the ability to take advantage of and prosper from adversity, just as he wrote before, “What does not kill him makes him stronger.”So, the next time adversity enters your life, will you run from it, or will you embrace it and use it as a step ping stone to greater happiness and success?51．Why does the author quote the line from Shakespeare’s play?A．To emphasize the great wisdom of Shakespeare.B．To highlight the beauty of Shakespeare’s language.C．To challenge the conventional belief regarding adversity.D．To show the long-standing recognition of adversity’s value.52．What is conveyed through Mary Pickford’s story?A．Fame can block one’s achievements.B．Strong determination overcomes adversity.C．Accepting adversity results in positive outcomes.D．Courage in the face of challenges leads to success.53．What is the idea behind Krumboltz’s happenstance theory?A．Embracing uncertainty.B．Managing life’s challenges.C．Seizing hidden opportunities.D．Focusing on personal growth.54．What is the author’s attitude towards adversity?A．Cautious.B．Favorable.C．Neutral.D．Doubtful. 55．What does the passage mainly talk about?A．Finding value and opportunity in facing adversity.B．Stress as the primary cause of growth and innovation.C．How to avoid adversity and negative experiences in life.D．Historical figures who failed to overcome adversity effectively.阅读下面短文，并根据题目要求用英语回答问题(请注意问题后的字数要求)。

湖南省长沙市第一中学2023-2024学年高三上学期第二次月考英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解“Unfortunately, 85 percent of what makes us attractive or less to mosquitoes(蚊子) is hardwired in our genetic circuit board,” says Winegard, author of The Mosquito: A Human History of Our Deadliest Predator. Still, there are ways to outsmart summer’s most annoying party crashers, especially if all you want is to enjoy an evening on your patio (露台).Know your blood typeOnly female mosquitoes feed on humans, and for good reason: The proteins in your blood help them grow and mature their eggs. “She’s just being a good mom,” Wineguard says. “People with blood type O are her top of choice. They get bitten twice as much as people with blood type A, with blood type B falling in between.”Stay cool“Mosquitoes hunt by both smell and sight,” Wineguard says. “They can smell the carbon dioxide and see the heat signature of their target.” Avoiding alcohol can keep your body temperature lower— making you harder to find — so consider choosing a cocktail instead.Wear light colorsAvoiding dark clothing can also keep you cooler, but that’s not the only reason it may offer relief. Mosquitoes, like many biting flies, are attracted to darker colors. The thinking behind this is that the animals they typically feed upon are larger, dark-bodied mammals(哺乳动物).Get rid of standing waterEven a glass of drinking water left on the deck can become a breeding ground for mosquito eggs — and mother mosquitoes lay about 100 eggs at a time. “They don’t need very much at all to breed. It can be a backyard toy , like a truck that has a bit of water in it, or a crushed pop can,” says Winegard. If you get rid of it, they’ll go somewhere else to lay their eggs.1．What’s the intention of this text?A．To introduce a new book.B．To offer professional tips.C．To analyze a study of insects.D．To suggest throwing a party.2．Why does a female mosquito feed on human blood?A．To hatch more eggs.B．To raise a large family.C．To identify blood types.D．To fully develop her body.3．What can we learn about mosquitoes according to Winegard?A．They can trace the smell of alcohol.B．They have energy-locating abilities.C．They feed off dark-bodied animals.D．They need abundant water to breed.The Malaysian actress, Michelle Yeoh, 60, shared some wisdom with the American Film Institute’s newest graduating class in a speech as she accepted an honorary doctorate of fine arts at the class of 2022 graduation ceremony.She recalled her early years in the industry. After an injury dashed her dreams of going into ballet, Yeoh bounced back at a gym where several stuntmen(特技替身演员)trained and ended up learning some tricks of the trade from them.“The first thing they taught me what to do was to tuck and roll, then how to fall on my side, and then how to fall on my back. And after a while, it dawned on me that they were teaching me how to fall,” she recalled. “And they said to me, ‘How are you going to go up if you don’t know how to come down?’” “That lesson sticks with me to this day. I had to learn how to fall. Well, you could say I learned it in my bones, literally,” Yeoh added.The actress mentioned jumping off a 20-foot highway overpass for one stunt, in which she over-rotated (旋转), causing her back to fold in half and a stunt went wrong. “I didn’t land properly, but I completed the scene,” she said.“These moments taught me perseverance, courage and humility,” she said. “They also taught me to hone my skills and eventually progress to the point where I was running on rooftops and jumping onto moving trains. I’m not asking you all to do that, okay? What I want to share with you today is that our slips and stumbles(绊跌)are the secrets to our flight. Trust me, that’s part of the deal. Success without failure is called luck. It cannot really be repeated or relied upon. It is from failure that we learn and grow,” Yeoh continued.The Crazy Rich Asians star concluded her speech: “Be courageous, take chances, break barriers, be proud of what makes you unique.” “And most importantly, don’t be afraid to fall, for you are learning to fly,” Yeoh said.4．What can we learn about Michelle Yeoh from the first two paragraphs?A．She was tricked by several stuntmen.B．She was passionate about working out in a gym.C．She won a doctor’s degree in fine arts despite her old age.D．She was terribly defeated by an injury and discouraged in her early years.5．What lesson did Michelle Yeoh learn from the stuntmen?A．God helps those who help themselves.B．Misfortune might be a blessing in disguise.C．Successful people are learning experiences with others.D．The greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.6．What does the underlined word “hone”in paragraph 5 mean?A．Believe.B．Sharpen.C．Restore.D．Dominate. 7．What are the keys to our success according to the text?A．Mistakes and failure.B．Luck and humility.C．Courage and pride.D．Opportunities and skills.“It’s a natural question,”Dr. Holt-Lunstad said the “ideal”number of friends. “Just like we have guidelines and recommendations for the amount of sleep we get and how physically active we are, this is health relevant.” While she and other friendship researchers admit there aren’t many studies that have specifically tackled the question of how many friends people should aim for, those that have been done offer a range.Dr. Degges-white recently conducted a survey of 297 adults, which has not been published or subject to peer review but found that 55 percent of participants believed two to three close friends was ideal, while 31 percent thought four to six was was the goal. But friendship and intimacy are subjective, and there isn’t a widely used scale researchers share to define those concepts across studies. It’s also unclear how social media factors into all of this, as research suggests the size of a person’s online network may not have any meaningful impact on their perceived well-being.While friendship research offers some standards, it may be more useful for most of us to consider if you need more friends. Dr. Marisa Franco recommends starting with a fairly obvious but powerful question: Do I feel lonely? “Also, different people bring out different parts of us. So when you have a larger friend group, you’re able to experience this side of yourself that loves golf, and this side that loves cars,” she added. “If you feel like your identity has sort of shrunk, or you’re not feeling quite like yourself, that might indicate youneed different types of friends.”Of course, making friends in adulthood isn’t always easy. Research shows people struggle with it because they find it difficult to trust new people. For those reasons, it is often easier to start by reawakening old relationships. The amount of time you actually spend with your friends matters, too. Franco suggests that on average, very close friendships tend to take around 200 hours to develop. But spending time with friends you feel ambivalent (情绪复杂的) about — because they’re unreliable, critical, competitive or any of the many reasons people get under our skin — can be bad for your health.8．Which statement would Dr. Holt-Lunstad probably agree with?A．Healthy friendships contribute to quality sleep.B．There have been guidelines for making friends.C．Two to six close friends may be the most ideal.D．Friendships can be crucial factor in well-being.9．How was Dr. Degges-White’s survey?A．It summarized the statistics in previous studies.B．It set standards on the exact number of friends.C．It distinguished between friendship and intimacy.D．It dismissed the influences of social media factors.10．According to Franco, you have to make new friends if _________.A．your friend circle is large enough B．you have a wide range of hobbiesC．your personal identities are restricted D．you lead an unhappy adulthood life 11．What matters in maintaining close friendships according to Franco?A．Quantities of time.B．Meeting frequency.C．Your healthy moods.D．Personalities of friends.Many robots track objects by “sight” as they work with them, but optical (视觉的) sensors can’t take in an item’s entire shape when it’s in the dark or partially blocked from view. Now a new low-cost technique lets a robotic hand “feel” an unfamiliar object’s form — and skillfully handle it based on this information alone.Roboticist, Xiaolong Wang in University of California, San Diego and his team wanted to find out if complex coordination (协调) could be achieved in robotics using only simple touch data. The researcher attached 16 contact sensors, each costing about $12, to the palmand fingers of a four -fingered robot hand. These sensors simply indicate if an object is touching the hand or not. “While one sensor doesn’t catch much, a lot of them can help you capture different aspects of the object,” Wang says. In this case, the robot’s task was to rotate (旋转) items placed in its palm.The researchers first connected a large volume of touch data as a virtual robot hand practiced rotating objects, including ball. Using binary contact information (“touch” or “no touch”) from each sensor, the team built a computer model that determines an object’s position at every step of the handling process and moves the fingers to rotate it smoothly and stably.Next they transferred this capability to operate a real robot hand, which successfully manipulated (操纵) previously unencountered objects such as apples, tomatoes, soup cans and rubber ducks. Transferring the computer model to the real world was relatively easy because the binary sensor data were so simple; the model didn’t rely on accurate measurements.Digging into what the robot hand perceives, Wang and his colleagues found that it can re-create the entire object’s form from touch data, informing its actions. He and his team are set to present thier handiwork at an international conference called Robotics: Science and Systems.New York University’s Lerrel Pinto, who studies robots’ interactions with the real world, wonders whether the system would become less effective at more complicated tasks including opening a bottle cap. Wang’s group aims to tackle more complex movements in future work as well as to add sensors in places such as the sides of the fingers. The researchers will also try adding vision to improve touch data for handling complicated shapes.12．What may contribute to the ineffectiveness of the optical sensors?A．Poor visibility.B．Blocked roads.C．Complicated tasks.D．Inaccurate calculation.13．What do paragraphs 3-4 focus on?A．Stimulating the robot fingers to move the items steadily.B．Increasing the precision of touch of the robot hand.C．Comparing the computer world with the real circumstances.D．Testing if touch information can facilitate the formation of the object shape. 14．What is the attitude of Lerrel Pinto towards the system?A．Neutral.B．Suspicious.C．Favorable.D．Pessimistic.15．What is the best title for the text?A．Robotics: Science and SystemB．New Robot Rotates Items SkillfullyC．New Robot Hand Works by Feel, Not SightD．From the Computer Model to the Real Robot Hand二、七选五Which is more important for people, book learning or experience? Some have spent their lives studying and gradually acquiring valuable deep knowledge. They are afraid to start andthe book, make mistakes, and learn from this experience.The debate between book learning and experience has been going on for a long time. There is no clear “right answer” yet, but there is strong evidence that experience gives us important skills that can’t be learned in books.17 Of course, reading the best books on learning gives someone knowledge, but experience gives know-how. It comes from practicing again and again. Professionals can make themselves because they devote their work, practice, and time to obtaining this position instead of managing to read books only. This distinguishes them from all the others.Reading more books about something doesn’t lead to success. You can acquire a lot of knowledge by reading, but there are also ways to accumulate knowledge through experience. Knowledge is theoretical, but experience is distinguished by the fact that you can put into practice what you have learned in a book. 18Book learning to understand a concept is important. But if you can’t understand the application of the concept in real time, the concept is useless. Experience allows you to put the learned concepts into practice. 19 You can’t effectively learn important skills without applying these concepts to real life.Certainly, the experience can lead to failure. But you can also learn from that failure and lead to success. 20 Therefore, experience is your greatest ally(盟友) in professional development if you want to understand the theory behind the concept, become an expert inthis field, keep the technique in mind, and gain valuable insights through failure.A．In contrast, others don’t worry about anything.B．You can learn a lot from books on self-learning.C．Of course, with these concepts, experience is acquired.D．This is valuable knowledge that is not found in any book.E．It is also an opportunity to test and challenge your knowledge.F．Through experience, you can also learn how to interact with people.G．Neither scientists nor doctors have read books only and become experts.三、完形填空Growing up in New Delhi, I saw Barbie as more than just a doll. She was the centralbedroom floor.As much as I loved Barbie, our time together could only last so long. Eventually, I grew 23 that I still played with my Barbie dolls while my middle-school friends had all moved onto more “mature” 24 . Barbie became similar with being a fake, “plastic” girl, whose bright pink clothing 25 my friends and me.By the tender age of 12, my friends and I had become 26 all girlish things, and Barbie topped our list of items to grow out of. Every 27 we took up instead seemed either gender-neutral or traditionally masculine (男子气概). For a 28 period I took up watching football to look cool (say exactly a month).Looking back, I feel like we were missing the point: Barbie was simply a blank canvas upon which to draw our ideas. It was our own 29 that we had come to abuse her for wearing pink clothes and having blond hair. That is why I appreciate the way the Barbie movie is being 30 .
