高二（上）期末英语试卷一、阅读理解（本大题共15小题，共30.0分）AFrom time to time I travel to town from my new country home．On this particular Saturday，it was Adam's turn to accompany me on the forty-five-minute drive----a coveted（渴望的）pleasure．Adam has a deep fondness of candy．If he knew there was a candy treat on the other side of a mountain，he would move the entire mountain，stone by stone，to get the treat．When we arrived，we walked toward the store．But I found Adam had fallen silent-his stare falling on something further down the street．There an old man sat by the store entrance，begging．His gray sweater had many holes exposing a dirty T-shirt．He sat with his back to the wall，his hands cupped around an empty hat．"Can I have my dollar，daddy？"I pulled a dollar and handed it to Adam and thought he would use it to buy his candy．"Thank you，daddy．"He went away and I went on to choose something we needed．After a while we left the store and walked a few feet to the corner．While waiting for the light，I felt Adam gently slip his hand from mine．I turned watching him as he walked back to the beggar giving his dollar．When he came back，I hugged Adam saying，"Daddy is very proud of you，Adam．That was very thoughtful．""It certainly was，"confirmed（证实）a female voice to my right．I turned and watched a middle-aged woman place five dollars in the man's hat．"May I？"she asked as she leaned over to kiss Adam's cheek．I nodded and smiled-Adam smiled．"Look，daddy．"Adam was looking over my shoulder to the beggar．A small group of people had gathered around him placing money in his hat．I couldn't help but recall a thought：A child shall lead them．1.Why did Adam become silent when walking to the store______A. Because he felt tired after the drive．B. Because he noticed a beggar sitting by the store．C. Because the beggar asked money from him．D. Because he saw an old man sat before the store entrance．2.What made the writer feel proud of his son______A. Adam dared to walk alone on the busy road．B. Adam was able to buy something for himself．C.

She asked if she could give the beggar some money．C. She intended to give five dollars to Adam in return．D. She hoped to kiss the writer for his act of kindness．4.From the passage，we can make a conclusion that ______ ．A. a child is often the first to love others．B. a child can take the lead in loving others．C. a child usually needs others to lead him．D. a child sometimes should be led to do things．BFlying like a bird has been the dream of humans since ancient times．Last week a group of modern birdmen put their courage on their wings and challenged gravity in Hangzhou，Zhejiang Province．"Yes，you can buy a ticket and fly to another city．But running with your own wings and feeling your feet ready to take off is totally different，"Dong Fang，said in an excited voice．He is one of 41students from Hangzhou No.14Middle School to test their home-made aircrafts in the playground．Inspired by the International Bognor Birdman Competition in the UK，Ni Wangyue，a teacher in high school is holding a similar event．The Bognor Birdman competition started in 1971in the England coastal city Bognor．People ran off the end of a pier （码头）with their own aircraft in an attempt to"fly"the farthest distance．"From the very beginning，I didn't expect my students to create a real plane or break any records．I told them the competition is more for seeing how far your imagination can stretch，"Said Ni．He was surprised to see his students create 10different aircrafts with all kinds of material available in the past month．Many students said that they learnt much more in the process of creating their planes than in ordinary classes．Jing Yuchen and his team named their plane"Weiming E"，which means an unknown goose．The 17-year-old boy deeply believes their goose of steel pipe and sailcloth will honour its name by successfully making it fly．"Our work is much more imaginative than others．With several colourful balloons on its back and a pair of light plastic wings，it surely is the most eye-catching work，if not the best，"said Yu Liang，another student．"Although most of those home-made aircrafts cannot really take the boys flying，theboys'braveness and creativity in this project will encourage every one of them to fly high in the future，"Ni said．5.The purpose of the competition is to ______ ．A. prepare to create more real planes．B. let students break some records．C. run off the end of a pier．D. encourage braveness and creativity．6.According to the passage，which of the following statements is NOT true？______A. There were 41students taking part in the competition．B. A similar kind of competition started in 1971．C. The teacher didn't expect his students could create 10different aircrafts．D. Most of those home-made aircrafts could take the boys flying．7.By saying"you can buy a ticket and fly to another city"，the writer actually means ______ ．A. if you want to take part in the competition you have to buy a ticket．B. people who take part in the competition have to fly to another city．C. people can pay to get a chance to go to another place by air．D. the students have to fly to another city in their home-made aircrafts．8.Why did the teacher organize this activity？______A. He wanted to develop students'imagination．B. He wanted his students to have the feeling of flying．C. He wanted his students to break records．D. He wanted to increase his students'grades．CTwo new studies suggest that modern running shoes could increase the risk of injuries to runners．One study involved sixty-eight healthy young women and men who ran at least twenty-four kilometers a week．The runners were observed on a treadmill machine（跑步机）．Sometimes they wore running shoes．Other times they ran barefoot．Researchers found that running shoes create more stress that could damage knees，hips and ankle joints than running barefoot．They observed that the effect was even greater than the effect reported earlier for walking in high heels．The other study compared runners in the United States and Kenya．The researchers divided the runners into three groups．One group had always run shoeless．Another group had always run with shoes．And the third group had changed to shoeless running．Runners who wear shoes usually come down heel first．That puts great force on the back of the foot．But the study found that barefoot runners generally land on the front or middle of their foot．That way they ease into their landing and avoid striking their heels．Daniel Lieberman says the way most running shoes are designed may explain why those who wear them land on their heels．The heel of the shoe is bigger and heavier than other parts of the shoe，so it would seem more likely to come down first．Also，the heel generally has thick material under it to soften landings．But the researchers do not suggest that runners immediately start running barefoot．They say it takes some training．And there can be risks，like running when your feet are too cold to feel if you get injured．9.What's the main idea of the passage？______A. Running in shoes is partly good to runners．B. Two new discoveries encourage people to run in high heels．C. Walking in high heels could cause less serious effects than running barefoot．D. Two new studies prove running without shoes is beneficial to runners in most cases．10.From the fifth paragraph we can infer that ______ ．A. running barefoot is faster than running in shoes．B. the landing point is very important in running．C. running shoeless can give people a real exercise．D. different running ways cause different injuries．11.Why do people who run in shoes land on their heels？______A. Because the shoes put great force on the back of the foot．B. Because the design of running shoes is unreasonable．C. Because people who often run get used to landing on their heels．D. Because the running people want to run faster．12.What's the writer's attitude towards the use of the modern running shoes？______A. Positive．B. Persuasive．C. Objective．D. Supportive．DAustralian scientists are trying to give kangaroo-style stomachs to cattle and sheep in order to cut the greenhouse gases they send out，which are thought to be responsible for global warming．Thanks to special bacteria in their stomachs，kangaroo flatulence（肠胃气胀）contains no methane（甲烷）and scientists want to transfer that bacteria to cattle and sheep who producelarge quantities of the harmful gas．While the usual image of greenhouse gas pollution is a huge chimney pushing out carbon dioxide，animals at home contribute a surprisingly high percentage of total emissions in some countries．"Fourteen percent of emissions from all sources in Australia is from methane from cattle and sheep，"said Athol Kleve，a senior research scientist with the Queensland state government．And if you look at another country such as New Zealand，which has got a much higher agricultural base，they're actually up around 50percent，"he said．Researchers say the bacteria also make the digestive process much more efficient and could potentially save millions of dollars in feed costs for farmers．But it will take researchers at least three years to isolate （分离）the bacteria，before they can even start to develop a way of transferring it to cattle and sheep．Another group of scientists，meanwhile，has suggested Australians should farm fewer cattle and sheep and just eat more kangaroos．People are still arguing about this，but about 20percent of health-conscious Australians are believed to eat the national symbol already．"It's low in fat，it's got high protein levels and it's very clean in the sense that basically it's the free-range （放养的）animal，"said Peter Amp of the University of New South Wales's institute of environmental studies．13.Scientists try to give kangaroo-style stomachs to cattle and sheep to ______ ．A. help them fight against different diseases．B. reduce the amount of greenhouse gases．C. get rid of the bacteria in their stomachs．D. protect them from quantities of harmful gas．14.The advantage of transferring the bacteria to cattle and sheep is that ______ ．A. it will take the researchers a long time．B. cattle and sheep will eat more than usual．C. it will help the farmers to save money．D. the bacteria will make them grow quickly．15.From this passage we can infer that ______ ．A. scientists still don't know how to transfer the bacteria to cattle and sheep．B. people in Australia depend on kangaroos for food at the present time．C. 14% of the greenhouse gases in New Zealand is from cattle and sheep．D. nobody in Australia will be allowed to farm cattle and sheep in the future．二、完形填空（本大题共20小题，共30.0分）Having graduated from a famous university，Tom wished to find a good job．One day he got the (16)in a newspaper that there was a post in a company．So he did some(17)on the company first and then went to apply for it．While (18)，he answered the questions fluently．Tom was satisfied with his (19)，feeling(20)that he could get the job．But at that moment，the manager's phone (21)．He picked it up，listened and nodded．And then he(22)around and said to Tom，"Sorry，I want to get some important information now．Please give me the book with thered(23)on that desk．"Tom looked around and found 3books on the desk，so he went to the desk，took one and handed it to him (24)．(25)he book，the manager hung up the phone and said，"Sorry，you are not the right person．"Tom was surprised and wondered(26)．Then the manager explained，"There're three reasons．First，the moment you entered，I found the third button on your shirt had been(27)．Second，the three books with covers of the same color are different，but you took one(28)asking me which I needed．Third，I was (29)the call．You should run to the desk to save time．These(30)showed you are not a careful person．"Therefore，Tom(31)the job．Tom's story reflects some people don't (32)the details in our life．But it is the detailsthat(33)．Not only should we(34)what we learn but also we should pay attention to the details，which sometimes can (35)determine our success or failure．16.

广东省广州市天河区2023~2024学年高二上学期期末考试英语试卷学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解Have you ever got the feeling that your dog is judging you?Well,you’re in for a surprise because it’s actually your dog who might be viewing you with a critical eye.Eliza Fletcher and her colleagues wondered whether dogs might rate us in terms of our skillfulness, particularly when those skills might come in handy for our four-footed little friends.So they set up a simple experiment.They showed60dogs two persons opening containers.One person is competent.That person was able to pop open the top after just a couple of twists while the other person failed at this task.That person tried to open the lid,but then gave up.The actors repeated the performance on a second container,with the same results.Then the researchers handed both actors a third container.In some trials,this container was empty.In others,it contained a treat. And what they found was that female dogs spent more time staring expectantly at the person who had previously demonstrated container-opening know-how.And they were more likely to approach the competent person,but only when they thought they might get free food.Dogs in the empty condition showed no preferences.So,why would females be more careful observers of people’s performances than males? Female advantage in the social cognitive domain(认知领域)has been reported across many species including humans.In other words,in many cognitive studies,furry females seem to show a higher social IQ than males.And sex differences have been seen in other dog studies. For example,females look at their owners more frequently and longer than males when facing unsolvable task.Female dogs solve significantly more tasks than males in social learning task.So,next time Fifi looks at you with those puppy dog eyes,you might be thinking,what a good dog!But she might be thinking,eeem,you could do better.1．Why did Eliza Fletcher do the experiment?A．To figure out the rate of human skills.B．To prove dogs have better skills than humans.C．To test whether dogs judge human’s skillfulness.from brands that reflect the values they believe in.Everyone should enjoy the same range of fashion choices,”says Ludovica Ospina,professor of marketing at the College of Business. 4．What do the underlined words“the elephant in the room”in paragraph1mean?A．Hardly satisfied.B．Socially accepted.C．Widely promoted.D．Obvious but ignored.5．What is Marie North’s attitude towards the all-size trend?A．Unclear.B．Negative.C．Puzzled.D．Cautious. 6．For what are some brands criticized by researchers?A．Their motivation.B．Their promotion.C．Their devotion.D．Their advertisement.7．What should fashion industry do in a body-diverse world?A．Provide more fashion choices.B．Show respect to the consumers.C．Produce clothes in various sizes.D．Build private relationships with customers.I still remember the first time I told my then-six-year-old son,Lev,that a clam makes calls with its“shell phone”.The laugh of recognition when he first got the joke was a moment I won’t ever forget.When I told it a second time in front of his friends Henry and Amir,I could see how proud he was that I had made his friends laugh.Excuse the showing off,but I was the cool dad.By Lev’s ninth birthday party,things had begun to change.After the seventh or eighth time I asked him“What do you call someone with no body and no nose?”he rolled his eyes.“I get it,Dad…”“…Nobody knows!”“Stop it,Dad!”I immediately shifted gears into food puns,but I got nothing except head shakes.I’m pretty sure I heard him say“Sorry about my dad”to his friends as they all ran off to play on their phones together.I used to be the life of every kids party.I was the one who always had a knock-knock joke at the party.Other parents loved that I could show up at any event and distract their kids with age-appropriate wordplay.Sure,there were other dads with their jokes,but I felt as if no one ever stole my crown.I tell you all this because after a lot of soul-searching,I believe it’s time.My kids aren’t grown and out of the house,but I’ve come to realize that I’ll never be able to compete with二、完形填空34．A．Therefore B．However C．Afterwards D．Besides 35．A．Spain B．China C．France D．Germany三、语法填空四、选词填空五、完成句子六、书信写作66．你校英文报为庆祝校美食文化节，向全校学生征集“我与一道美食的故事”。

广东省2023-2024学年高二上学期期末教学质量检测英语试卷学校：___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解Romance, adventure, and excitement — all these words come to mind when travelers think of island getaways. Here are some islands for visitors to enjoy their charms in the National Park System.Isle Royale National Park, MichiganAs the largest island in Lake Superior, Isle Royale provides commercial accommodation, developed campgrounds, and undamaged wilderness. Travelers can hike through forest, boat along rocky shores, or camp beside beautiful lakes. Various boat services and ranger-guided trips give travelers the chance to explore the park.Channel Islands National Park, CaliforniaThose people who do make the boat trip can explore five major island groups that are home to globally significant biodiversity. From rare birds to blue whales, the world’s largest animal, Channel Islands is a wildlife film. Even a brief visit will bring sightings of seals, sea lions, sea otters, whales, and the largest colonies of seabirds in southern California. Acadia National Park, MaineIsle au Haut is a small island in Acadia National Park. The island can be reached by a mailboat from the little town of Stonington, a circumstancethat limits the number of visitors.Much of the island can be seen on a day trip, exploring paths that wind through woodlands and the grass and along rocky shores. Sleeping on Isle au Haut makes it possible to enjoy sunrises and sunsets on the island. Biscayne National Park, FloridaTravelers can take a commercial tour boat to see Elliott Key, a park site with camping, swimming, and a hiking trail (路线).

In many regions of the country, it can take hours to get to the nearest hospital. Boateng said many people lost their lives due to preventable or treatable diseases. His grandmother and aunt were among them.Feeling an urgent call to help, Boateng decided he would make it his life’s mission to bring health care to remote communities in Ghana where education and preventative health care were lacking.Boateng wanted to find a way to remove these barriers to health care access and education. He started his nonprofit organization, OKB Hope Foundation. In 2021, he converted (转变) a van (面包车) into a mobile doctor’s office and started bringing he alth care directly to those in need.A few times a week, the mobile clinic and medical team travel long distances to remote communities and provide free routine medical care. On each trip, Boateng’s team consists of a nurse, a physician assistant, a doctor, and an operation assistant. In the van, they can run basic labs like bloodwork and urinalysis (尿液分析) as well as provide medicine. “It’s like a one-stop shop for people, ” said Boateng, adding that most of the people they see have one health issue or another. Since its launch, the Hope Health Van has served more than 4,000 Ghanaians across more than 45 rural communities who otherwise don’t have easily accessible medical care, according to Boateng.Boateng has gone all in on his OKB Hope Foundation, recently quittinghis job to dedicate his time to bringing health care to his home country. But for him, the sacrifices (牺牲) are well worth. “Words cannot describe the feeling that you provide care for someone who otherwise wouldn’t be alive if your mobile health van wasn’t there.” He has big plans for the future. He hopes to expand them to provide more consistent andhigh-quality medical care not only to those living in remote areas of Ghana but those in other countries.4．What is the purpose of mentioning the example in paragraph 1A.

Determined and demanding. Landscape architect Kotchakorn Voraakhom has designed a new green roof on the Rangsit Campus of Thammasat University, about 25 miles north of central Bangkok, Thailand. Her imaginative work challenges the common thinking that urbanization has a negative impact on the planet, whether flooding, excess (过度的) energy use, disrupted (扰乱) biodiversity or the heat island effect.The 236, 806-square-foot structure, which opened in December 2019, includes a flood water management system and Asia’s largest rooftop organic farm. It combines modern landscape architecture with traditional agricultural knowledge, creating a green and friendly environment.The green roof, containing an H-shaped landscape, looks like a futuristic hill with a brick building beneath it. The hill features a complex pattern of zigzagging terraces (之字形梯田) of planted beds, leading all the way down to the bottom. When rainwater hits the roof, it flows down the zigzags while being absorbed by the soil in the beds, The excess water is directed into four storage ponds — with a capacity of up to 3 million gallons. The process slows down the flow speed of rainwater runoff compared to a normal concrete rooftop. This keeps the area from flooding during heavy rains.The roof’s terraces are filled with organically grown crops, inclu ding adrought tolerant variety of rice, many local vegetables and herbs. The farm can supply the canteens on campus with a large amount of rice, herbs and vegetables a year. The food waste is composted (把……制成堆肥) to fertilize the farm, and water from the storage ponds is used to water plants, creating an entirely localized and circular system.The farm serves as an outdoor classroom and a source of local jobs, too. Farmers offer workshops on sustainable agriculture and nutrition as part of the university’s sustainability curriculum. “Students and community members are invited to participate in seasonal seeding, harvesting, and so on,” says Voraakhom. “The urban farm is training a new generation of organic farmers with real-world skills. It also promotes a sense of community.”8．What can we say about Voraakhom’s workA. It’s short-lived.B. It’s creative.C. It’s demanding.D. It’s time-consuming.9．Why is the rooftop designed to be zigzagA. To store more water.B. To plant diverse vegetables.C. To slow the speed of water flow.D. To make it look more attractive than other buildings.10．What can be inferred about the farm from paragraph 4A. It uses food as fertilizer.B. It benefits the environment.C. It improves students’ lifestyle.D. It produces vegetabl es and fruits. 11．What does the author want to show by mentioning the outdoor classroomA. Students can learn hands-on knowledge on the farm.B. Farmers working on the farm can become professors.C. The farm prevents government from offering people jobs.D. The farm harms the relationship between university and community. Plastic is everywhere in our modern world. Its toughness makes it an extremely useful material from household items to vehicle parts, but that same toughness makes it hard to break down for recycling or disposal (处理). However, Japanese scientists at the University of Tokyo have developed a new plastic material that can be broken down more easily and can self-heal and remember past shapes.Based on a kind of plastic called an epoxy resin vitrimer, which is brittle (脆性的), the new plastic boasts a huge range of advantages. Once scratched with a knife, it can completely patch itself up after being heated to 150 ℃ for just 60 seconds. When shaped into the shape of a crane, then flattened, it can fold itself back into the crane shape by being heated up. It does all of this much faster than others of its type. The new plastic can also break down easier. Even if it’s discarded (丢弃) into the environment, it still poses less of a, problem than other kinds of plastic, which the team demonstrated by placing it in seawater for 30days. It biodegraded by 25% and released molecules (分子) that are essential food for marine life.The new plastic is more resistant to breaking. It can also repair itself, and can recover its original memorized shape. It even biodegrades safely in a marine environment, according to Shota Ando, a researcher of the study. The material can be used in a variety of applications, “Infrastructure materials for roads and bridges are often composed of epoxy resins mixed with compounds such as concrete and carbon,” said Ando. “By using the new plastic, these would be easier to maintain as they would be stronger and healable using heat. Unlike conventional epoxy resins, this new material is hard but stretchable, so it could also be expected to strongly bond materials of different hardness and stretch.”12．What is the author’s purpose in writing paragraph 1A. To introduce the topic of the text.B. To show the disadvantages of plastic.C. To highlight the importance of plastic.D. To indicate his views on previous plastic.13．What do the underlined words “patch itself up” mean in paragraph 2 A. Change itself. B. Shape itself. C. Repair itself. D. Burn itself. 14．What do we know about the new plasticA. It is safe for animals in the ocean.B. It can provide nutrition for animals.C. It can change its shape when frozen.D. It is more brittle than previous plastic.15．What can be the best title for the textA. Research Of New MoleculesB. An Interesting Scientific StudyC. The Widespread Application Of PlasticD. A New Environmentally Friendly Plastic二、七选五16．Reading books is one of the best ways to broaden your horizons, develop your new interests, and grow your minds.

But he avoided contact with his grandmother, Grandma Joy, aged 85, due to a past disagreement.Years later, while hiking the Appalachian Trail, he found himself thinking a lot about his grandmother and the time they spent at Blue Rock State Park looking for crawfish. Then, Brad decided to visit Grandma Joy.Grandma Joy did what came natural to her. She gave him a big hug. “It was familiar and yet strange,”said Brad. “It looked the same. But I was looking at a woman who had aged.” They madesmall talks but then there was an awkward pause. Brad broke the ice by suggesting a visit to Blue Rock State Park.On the way there, Grandma Joy admitted she had many regrets in her life. One of them was that aside from this state park, she’d never had the chance to see the great outdoors. When they arrived at the creek, the special place where long ago they’d searched out the crawfish, they stood silently, lost in thought. A loud splash broke the silence. The tail of a massive beaver (狸) gliding below broke the water’s surface. Stunned, they both laughed. “We looked at each other,” said Brad, “and we both realized we were still the same people.”To make up for Grandma’s sadness of not seeing more of nature, Brad planned a cam ping trip to Great Smoky Mountains with Grandma. Despite Grandma Joy’s age, she surprised Brad by eagerly agreeing to go.That night, they sat by the campfire, feeling its warmth and gazing at the stars. Bra d and Grandma opened the lock box of their past. They talked about families and parents, about loss, pain and regret, telling each other they’d wasted too many years being separated.The camping trip ended, but their outdoor adventure continued. Since then they have visited 62 national parks, covering o ver 50,000 miles in Brad’s car. Their age difference doesn’t matter as they are still on their way.4．What can be inferred about Brad from the first two paragraphs?A. He was fond of travelling.B. He longed to visit state parks.C. He was touched by past memories.D. He avoided contact with his family. 5．How did Brad and Grandma feel when they saw the beaver?A. Awkward and confused.B. Amused and sympathetic.C. Regretful and sad.D. Surprised and relieved.6．Why did Brad plan a camping trip to Great Smoky Mountains National Park?A. To surprise Grandma Joy.B. To realize Grandma Joy’s wish.C. To break the ice with Grandma Joy.D. To recall the trip of Grandma Joy’s youth. 7．What can we learn from Brad’s camping trip with Grandma Joy?A. They decided to explore more parks.B. They brought back a lock box from the trip.C. They felt stressed because of age difference.D. They used to explore the great outdoors often.COne old-school gardening belief is that it is inadvisable — even risky — to have plants in the bedroom. This centers around the claim that while plants take in carbon dioxide and release oxygen in the day, at night this is reversed (相反), so they compete with us for the very air we breathe while asleep.,Indoor air quality is indeed affected by CO₂ buildup, which has proven health implications, providing a clear basis for concern. However, assessing whether sharing our bedroom with plants truly jeopardizes our health involves three key considerations.Firstly how much CO₂ do plants release at night compared with what they absorb in the day? This proves complex due to varying factors like species, light exposure, and room temperature and the research on the precise measurements is pretty thin on the ground. Thankfully, a 2015 study found that sizeable houseplants enclosed in glass boxes manage to absorb six to eight times as much CO₂ in the day as they give off at night, creating a pretty significant net reduction over a 24-hour period.Secondly, it’s essential to compare the nighttime impact of plants on air quality with that of other potential competitors, such as your roommates. A single human breath contains roughly 40,000 ppm of CO₂, over 10 times the effect a plant could have in 8 hours. Consequently, it might be wiser to kick out your roommates before your plants.Finally, and this may seem apparent, our living spaces differ from the controlled environments in research studies. Indoor air is constantly being exchanged naturally through openings like doors and windows, and human movement. A recent review suggests that reproducing the air-refreshing impact of an open window would require between 100 and 1000 plants per square meter of floor space, considering plants’ pollution-removing abilities.So enjoy houseplants whenever you like, because, frankly, if sleeping near plants were bad for your health, camping in a forest would be positively deadly.8．What does the underlined word in paragraph 2 probably mean?A. Threatens.B. Changes.C. Improves.D. Suspends. 9．What does the author think of having plants in the bedroom?A. It is a health risk that requires immediate action.B. It is a dangerous practice that should be avoided.C. It is not as concerning as believed and can be enjoyed.D. It is beneficial only if proper air exchanging is ensured.10．How does the writer illustrate the nighttime impact of bedroom plants?A. By citing examples.B. By giving definitions.C. By quoting researches.D. By making comparisons.11．Why does the writer mention camping in a forest at the end of the passage?A. To highlight the risks of sleeping outdoors.B. To suggest that sleeping near plants is dangerous.C. To promote forest camping as a healthy alternative.D. To emphasize the safety of having plants in the bedroom.DThere are many things that technology can do well when it comes to monitoring body language. Artificial intelligence (AI) can detect the slightest micro-expression something that even highly trained experts don’t always catch, and can tell the difference b etween a genuine smile and a fake one. But, when it comes to interpreting the subtle (细微的) differences of body language, technology has a long way to go.One of the primary challenges AI faces in understanding body language lies in the complexity of human communication. Body language is not governed by strict rules or fixed patterns; it is heavily influenced by context, culture, and individual differences, making it difficult for AI to deal with such complicated situation. A simple nod can convey agreement or encouragement in one setting, but it might indicate impatience or disapproval in another, which can only be picked up by an experienced observer.There’s also a problem because AI lacks the emotional intelligence and empathy that are unique to humans. Human beings interpret emotions not only by observing body language but also by drawing on their personal experiences, inborn empathy, and basic understanding of human psychology. AI, on the other hand, can only analyze data and recognize specific patterns associated with emotions, as it lacks the underlying emotional comprehension that is essential for a deeper understanding of body language.Body language comprises a complicated web of nonverbal clues, such as facial expressions, gestures, posture, eye contact, and touch. As technology advances and research progresses, AI may become more skillful at detecting body language signals, but it is unlikely to obtain the necessary depth of human perception and emotional comprehension in the foreseeable future. Meanwhile,understanding and responding to nonverbal communication will continue to rely primarily on the human brain, which has been “wired” to read body language from the time human began communicating with one another.12．In what way is AI better than human, according to the passage?A. Noticing the subtle facial expressions.B. Understanding micro-expressions.C. Interpreting body language.D. Distinguishing feelings and attitudes. 13．What is the key factor in humans’ understanding body language?A. Cultural communication.B. Personal connections.C. Understanding signals.D. Emotional comprehension.14．What will happen in the foreseeable future?A. AI will finally understand body language as deeply as humans.B. AI will do better in detecting body language signals than humans.C. AI cannot replace humans in reading and reacting to body language.D. AI may become more automatic with the development of technology.15．Which can be the best title of the passage?A. How AI comprehends Body LanguageB. Why AI Can’t Read Body Language YetC. Who Is Better at Reading Body Language?D. How Humans Respond to Body Language第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。

However, arts still play an indispensable role in our daily life for numerous reasons. Firstly, artistic works inspire people’s imagination. Unlike electronic gadgets, books and paintings produced by artists broaden people's horizons and set their minds free. Secondly, arts tell people to appreciate works of others. Thirdly, arts can reflect history, culture and traditions.As for me, my favorite artistic work is “The Legend of the Condor Heroes” written by Jin Yong. It enjoys great popularity with readers. Reading this great work, you will find that the book is about helping the weak and protecting one’s country against invaders. The characters are vividly designed and the story is very touching. The book has been adapted into films, television series, comics and video games.Yours,Li Hua高二英语第1页（共1页）。
