Speak，speak，speak!Practise speaking as often as yon can--even speaking to yourself is good practice.Try recording yourself whenever you can. Compare your pronunciation with the master version，see how you can do better and have another go.If yon do this severaltimes，you will find that each version is better than the last. Why not learn with someone else?It helps if you can learn with someone else. If yon can persuade a friend or family member to study with yon，it will make you keep working.Agree times to meet and set goals for the week，and test each other regularly.Don’t get stuck by a word you don’t knowPtactise improvising(即兴的)ways of getting your meaning across when speaking spontaneously(本能地)，even if yon don't know the exact words or phrases.Think of things yon might want to say whenever yon have spare time.A basic example is the rise of tenses.If you don't know the past tense but want to talk about yesterday，use the verb in the present tense and use the word for“yesterday”.Use facial expression，hand movements，anything to get your meaning across.Language learning is also about intuition(直觉)Guesswork is an important strategy in learning a new language.When listening to recorded material，yon aren’t expected to understand everything first time round.If you play the same piece several times，you will most probably understand something new each time.Learn to make maximum use of all the clues yon can pick up.For example，what do the speakers sound like? Happy? Angry? Calm? etc.Build up your vocabularyA wide vocabulary is the key to successful language learning but don't try to le arn too mach at once.It’s best to study frequently，for short periods of time.Take a maximum ofsix or seven items of vocabulary and learn them.Put them into sentences to fix them in your mind，then come back to them later.Much of the vocabulary in the course is presented by topic.And above all，have fun!（）46.Why should one have himself recorded when practising speaking?A. To encourage others to startB. To record his own progress.C. To improve his speaking.D. To compare himself with others. （）47.Which of the following is the most important in learning Eng lish?A.Speaking.B.Pleasure.C.Intuition.D.V ocabulary. （）48.It is implied in the passage that is helpful when you are learning English.A.body languageB.a good memoryC.a good friendD.a proper dictionary（）49.Which of the following proverbs(谚语) seems not to be always true inlearning a language?A.Practice makes perfect.B.A good beginning is half done.C.Rome is not built in a day.D.Don’t run before you can walk.BBy far the most common difficulty in study is simple failure to get down to regular concentrated work. This difficulty is much greater for those who do not work to a plan and have no regular routine of study. Many students muddle along ,doing a bit of this subject or that ,as the mood takes them, or letting their set work pile up until the last possible moment.Few students work to a set timetable .They say that if they did work out a timetable for themselves they would not keep to it ,or would have to change it frequently ,since they can never predict (foresee) from one day to the next what their activities will be .No doubt some students take much more kindly to a regular routine than others .There are many who shy away from aself-controlled weekly timetable ,and dislike being tied down to a fixed programme of work .Many able students state that they work in cycles .When they become interested in a topic they workon it attentively for three or four days at a time .On other days they avoid work completely .It has to be admitted that we do not fully understand the motivation（动机）to work .Most people over 25 years of age have become used to a work routine ,and the majority of really productive workers set aside regular hours for the more important areas of their work .The “tough-mind ed” school of workers doesn’t fully accept the idea that good work can only be done naturally ,under the influence of inspiration（灵感）.Those who believe that they need only work and study as the fit takes them have a mistaken belief either in their own talent or in the value of “freedom” .Freedom from control and discipline（纪律）leads to unhappiness rather than to“sel f-expression” or “personality development” . Our society insists on regular habits ,timekeeping and punctuality （及时），and whether we like it or not ,if we mean to make our way in society ,we have to meet its demands.（）50.The most widespread problem in applying oneself to studyis .A.changing from one subject to anotherB.the failure to keep to a set timetable of workC.the unwillingness to follow a systematic planD.working on a subject only when one feels like it（）51.Which of the following is true?A.Many students are not interested in using aself-controlled timetable.B.Many students don’t like being told to study to a fixed tim etable.C.Most people over 25 years of age don’t work to a set timetable.D.Tough-minded people agree that good work is done naturally.（）52.The underlined part “as the fit takes them” in paragraph 4 means .A. when they have the energyB. when they are in the moodC. when they feel fitD. when they find conditions suitable （）53.A suitable title for the passage might be .A. Attitudes to StudyB.A Study PlanC. The difficulties of StudyingD. Study and Self-disciplineCWhat makes one person more intelligent than another? What makes one person a genius, like the brilliant Albert Einstein, and another person a fool? Are people born intelligent or stupid, or is intelligence the result of where and how you live? These are very old questions and the answers to them are still not clear.We know, however, that just being born with a good mind is not enough. In some ways, the mind is like a leg or an arm muscle.It needs exercise. Mental (done with the mind) exercise is particularly important for young children. Many child psychologists (心理学家) think that parents should play with their children more often and give them problems to think about. The children are then more likely to grow up bright and intelligent. If, on the other hand, children are left alone a great deal with nothing to do, they are more likely to become dull and unintelligent.Parents should also be careful with what they say to young children. According to some psychologists, if parents are always telling a child that he or she is a fool or an idiot, then the child is more likely to keep doing silly and foolish things. So it is probably better for parents to say very positive (helpful) things to their children, such as “That wasa very clever thing you did.” or “You are su ch a smart child.”（）54. The words “intelligent” and “brilliant” in the first paragraph probably mean _______ while “dull” in the second paragraph means ________.A. bright and splendid; slow in thinking and understandingB. pretty and handsome; ordinary-lookingC. great and important; commonD. hopeful and helpful; careless（）55. A person ________ is more likely to become a genius.A. whose parents are cleverB. often thinking about difficult problemsC. often helped by his parents and teachersD. born with a good brain and putting it into active use（）56. It is better for parents ________.A. to praise and encourage their children more oftenB. to be hard on their childrenC. to leave their children alone with nothing to doD. to give their children as much help as possible（）57. Which of the following is NOT true according to the article?A. Parents play an important part in their children’s growth.B. The less you use your mind the duller you may become.C. Intelligence is obviously the result of where and how you live.D. What makes a person bright or stupid is still under discussion.DNo one could have failed to be moved had he watched the live televised volleyball game between the Chinese and Cuban women’s teams. As we sat before the television set, with our eyes fixed on the screen, we experienced every kind of feeling. When the two teams played neck and neck, we were on pins and needles, anxious as to what would come next, and when our team fell behind our hearts were in our mouths. Watching the game between those two teams is not only a matter of great joy. For more than that it provides food for thought. Just see how the Chinese wo men won the game ──by their co──operation (合作), by their excellent skill, their effort and strong will. AChi nese saying goes, “When two competent opponents (竞赛的双方) meet, the strong ──minded one will win. “This is the spirit of the Chinese Wo men’s Volleyball Team. If every Chinese showed some of the spirit, never losing heart in times of difficulty and remaining clear ──minded in times of advantage (优势), then our nation would stand in the vanguard (前列) of the world family of nations, just as the Chinese Women’s Volleyball Team has done, is doing and will do.（）58. While watching the game, we _____.A. had feelings of different kindB. enjoyed a friendly and wonderful gameC. clapped and cheered only for the Chinese Women’s VolleyballTeamD. were eager to know what would happen later on（）59. The wonderful game _____.A. brought us great joyB. provided us with food for our thoughtsC. gave us not only great joy but also food for thoughtsD. give us a valuable amusement（）60. The author believed that _____.A. the Chinese Women’s Volleyball Team was the strongestB. China was sure to become stronger and stronger if only we havethat spirit of the Chinese Wom en’s Volleyball TeamC. The Chinese must remain clear-minded in time of advantageD. The Chinese Women’s Volleyball Team never lost heart in timesof difficulty（）61. The best title of the passage might be _____.A. Watching a Close Volleyball GameB. The Spirit of the Chinese Women’s Volleyball TeamC. Learn from the Members of the Volleyball TeamD. The Strong ──Minded Are the WinnersEIf you wish to become a better reader, here are four important points to remember about rate, or speed, of reading:1. Knowing why you are reading—what you are reading to find out—will often help you to know whether to read rapidly or slowly.2. Some things should be read slowly throughout. Examples are directions for making or doing something, arithmetic problems, science and history books, which are full of important information. You must read such things slowly to remember each important step and understand each important idea.3. Some things should be read rapidly throughout. Examples are simple stories meant for enjoyment, news, and letters from friends, items, or bits of news from local, or hometown, paper, telling what is happening to friends and neighbors.4. In some of your readings, you must change your speed from fast to slow to fast, as you go along.

山东省济宁市2022-2023学年高二下学期期末考试英语试题一、阅读理解Florida has regained its position as the best American state for retirees in 2024, according to WalletHub’s latest “Best and Worst States to Retire” study.WalletHub’s Best and Worst States to Retire in 2024WalletHub used three main categories to rank the retirement friendliness of all 50 states: Affordability. Quality of life. Health care.While Florida ranked first overall as the best state for retirees and No. I in the quality of life category, it scored lower for health care and affordability. Popular Florida cities rank among WalletHub’s top 10 places hit hardest by inflation (通货膨胀), so retirees need to anticipate a potentially higher cost of living due to inflation. On the other hand, the state doesn’t demand any income tax, which means income from Social Security and withdrawals from retirement accounts won’t be taxed at the state level. Besides, retirees may enjoy the state’s mostly pleasant weather and miles of shoreline.Remember, while lists like these can be helpful as you figure out where you’d like to eventually spend your post-work years, your idea of the “perfect” place to retire will depend on a number of personal factors, such as your own circumstances, preferences and priorities. 1．Which state ranks last for retirees in 2024 according to WalletHub?A．Florida.B．Kentucky.C．Wyoming.D．Oklahoma. 2．Which aspect of Florida may appeal to retirees most?A．Medical services.B．Low living expenses.C．Income security.D．Favorable tax policy.3．Where is this text probably taken from?A．A finance book.B．A geography textbook.C．A public report.D．A commercial speech.Located on the banks of Lake Atitlán, Santa Catarina Palopó is a small town with amazing natural views. Despite its natural beauty and cultural heritage, the community struggled with economic development for years until they had the opportunity to use the power of art and transform the town.Pintando Santa Catarina Palopó (PSCP) was born out of a desire to bring color and life to the town through the act of painting all 960 buildings with traditional symbols and designs inspired by the blouses woven (编织) by local women. Under the leadership of Claudia Boschand the Casa Palopó hotel, the project took shape with the support of local authorities, volunteers, sponsors, and the community.The painting process was structured to ensure efficiency and community involvement. Local families were brought into the process, working with project teams to decide how their homes would be painted. The family would then help sand, clean, and prime (上底漆) the walls before the professional painters joined in to complete the painting process. Throughout the project, the team ensured that no family was left behind, and the professional painters provided guidance to ensure that every building was exceptional.The project has changed the lives of residents and visitors alike. It has increased cultural tourism awareness, created new jobs, and improved the overall quality of life in the community. Alongside this project, the community has worked to champion growing and celebrating local produce, strengthen family interests, and promote community development. The paintings symbolize hope and progress, inspiring other communities to hug the magic of art in their own ways.4．What was the original purpose of establishing PSCP?A．To bring liveliness to the town.B．To rebuild symbolic houses.C．To guarantee the locals a job.D．To pass down tailoring skills.5．What is the highlight in the painting process?A．Professional training.B．Painters’ leading role.C．Traditional materials.D．Families’ engagement.6．What can we learn about the project from the last paragraph?A．It inspires the locals to pursue an art career.B．It shows how to measure community spirit.C．It goes far beyond just economic benefits.D．It proves art is a must for successful projects. 7．Which of the following is the best title for the text?A．Art of Painting: A Treasure for Human Beings B．Natural Beauty: The Drive for Rural TourismC．The Colourful Story of Santa Catarina PalopóD．Big Cultural Heritage of a Small TownOne inconvenient truth for the clean energy industry is the undeniable fact that wind turbines (涡轮机) kill birds. Researchers say smarter turbines could dramatically cut the toll.The American Bird Conservancy claims that at least one million bird deaths as a result of wind turbines a year in the US alone is likely to be an underestimate. That’s substantially less than the estimated 980 million birds a year that die crashing into buildings, or the 1.4 to 3.7 billion per year killed by domestic cats. But it’s still an unacceptable number, and a problem that needs to be addressed—because a fully green energy network will need more and more turbines over the coming decades.Researchers at SINTEF and the Norwegian Centre believe they have an idea that could help in a lot of cases. The idea—known as SKARV—is fairly simple: each turbine will have cameras fitted, capable of spotting birds flying directly into the path of the rotors (螺旋桨). Software will automatically calculate their predicted path, and if it looks like they’re in danger of being hit, the system will send control signals to slow the rotors down.In simulations (模拟), the system is able to avoid the vast majority of crashes. This, of course, doesn’t describe all situations. For example, if a young, inexperienced bird approaches a turbine displaying irregular flight behavior, it will not be possible to predict exactly where it will be a few seconds later. Prediction is also more difficult if several birds approach at the same time.Some researchers argue that birds are learning to avoid turbines voluntarily. But if morethan a million birds a year haven’t got the memo yet, it’s still a problem worth solving. We look forward to hearing how trials progress.8．What does the underlined phrase “cut the toll” in paragraph I probably mean?A．Maximize efficiency.B．Reduce deaths.C．Lower costs.D．Prevent errors.9．What can be inferred about bird death caused by wind turbines in paragraph 2?A．It tops the list of bird deaths.B．It calls for immediate action.C．It has been properly solved.D．It shows progress in technology.10．How does SKARV make wind turbines intelligent?A．By keeping a constant speed.B．By recording birds’ behavior.C．By predicting potential danger.D．By sending warnings to birds.11．What is paragraph 4 mainly about?A．Challenges presented in simulations.B．Features of birds’ flying patterns.C．Examples of SKARV’s application D．Approaches to crash avoidance.It’s normal to feel uncomfortable when spending time outside your home culture, even for an eagerly anticipated vacation. Feelings of discomfort, dislocation, and overload are so common among travelers that they’re referred to by many as “culture shock”.Although the term has existed since the 1950s, says Susan B．Goldstein, a psychology professor at the University of Redlands, it’s an outdated way to describe these adjustment challenges. “Culture shock” implies a dramatic, unexpected, negative event. Though the vast majority of travelers will experience such challenges, “a real sense of ‘shock’ is uncommon,” she adds, “so uncommon that many researchers no longer use the term.”Previously many researchers adopted the idea that culture shock progressed through a remarkably consistent and universal set of stages. Modern research, however, suggests that the experiences of acculturation (文化适应) are individual, not universal. People will have their ups and downs, but for the most part, they will become increasingly comfortable and competent over time.While many blame the causes of culture shock on the host culture itself, an individual’s internal expectations are just as important. When travelers’ image of their destination does notcorrespond with reality, it can result in discomfort and even distress (忧虑). Realistic expectations can help, but so can a traveler’s attitude.In a 2023 study of 2,500 teenage exchange students, researchers found that though cultural stress was common among participants, those who faced those stresses head-on instead of turning to avoidance tended to perform better and were likelier to finish out their year without switching families or going home early.As for Mark Twain, the bad-tempered writer was able to ride out his feelings of distress while traveling. He eventually finished out his European tour — and in his bestselling travel memoir The Innocents Abroad, famously remarked that travel is “disastrous to prejudice and narrow-mindedness”. With the right attitude and the willingness to seek help, it’s more than likely that you, too, can adapt to new settings, building new memories with each new stamp in your passport.12．What is Susan B．Goldstein’s opinion about culture shock?A．It doesn’t live up to the name.B．Its cause is rarely researched.C．It is unavoidable and harmful.D．Its influence is understudied.13．Which factor determined exchange students’ performance from the study?A．Support from family.B．The level of stress.C．Their personal attitude.D．Ways of seeking help.14．How did Mark Twain feel about the European tour?A．It was a rather intolerable experience.B．It was challenging yet rewarding.C．It was an inspiration for his career.D．It was full of regrets and sorrows. 15．What’s the purpose of the passage?A．To call on travelers to bridge cultural gaps.B．To recommend a book on traveling abroad.C．To stress the significance of cultural diversity.D．To clarify the misunderstanding of culture shock.How effective are your brainstorming sessions? Does everyone get a chance to share their opinions? Do people with the loudest voices dominate the discussion? 16A popular and lively form of brainwriting is known as 6-3-5. During a 6-3-5 session,brainwriting exercises are divided into several rounds. In each round, six people write down three ideas each within five minutes. After the first round, everyone exchanges their piece of paper with someone else, reads what’s on it, and then writes down three more ideas. 17 After six rounds, all the ideas on the worksheets are shared with the group.Although this example uses six people, you can invite any number of people to your brainwriting session. Other details can also be adapted to suit your needs, including the number of rounds. 18Different from traditional brainstorming, everyone is equal in brainwriting. 19 People also have more time to think through their ideas and to develop them. This can help to encourage creativity, because it empowers people to put forward ideas that they might — in a normal brainstorming session — have considered too risky.If you think your team could benefit from a brainwriting session, you can try the skills to boost their creativity. 20 So, gather your team members, prepare enough paper, and you’re ready to go!A．Brainwriting has many advantages, too.B．Brainwriting works well as a pen-and-paper exercise.C．That’s because all participants get to contribute at the same time.D．Regular brainstorming is a tried-and-true way to generate new ideas.E．These can be new ideas, or build on ideas that have already been shared.F．One way to ensure that everyone gets a fair hearing is to use brainwriting.G．But most people find that aiming for three ideas in each round brings the best results.二、完形填空On Sept.17, 2022, a father and son set out to begin the Ironman competition in Cambridge.

We hide chocolate from her; it can be dangerous for dogs. But Daisy is the Hercule Poirot of hidden sweets. An empty wrapper in her mouth told the tale.Our family rushed Daisy to a vet clinic, where——well, I’ll spare you the details. Daisy is fine now, but our hearts are just restarting.We are also caring for a huge, white cat we’ve named Gato Blanco. He claws furniture on hishind(后部的) legs, like Catzilla tearing down a Tokyo bridge. Every chair in our apartment is now covered with sheets, towels, or plastic wrap. We keep a window open, no matter the weather, because one of our daughters is allergic to cats. But she wants to keep Gat o close, even as he knocks photos, flowers, pens and my microphone off tables, with a smart forehand.Our feline lodger(猫科房客) also climbed onto a planter outside our apartment and strolled over to the other side of the building, seven floors up. Is that Spider-Man? No-it’s Gato!Daisy the dog sits beneath our dinner table, quivering and blinking her large, dew y eyes. Some of us may let a few pieces of food fall her way from time to time. We can’t let her get too excited, though, because she has a tendency to... well, more details to spare. We keep towels handy for such episodes of excitement.Gato Blanco, meanwhile, leaps onto our table. But not to eat, just to hang with the cool kids, our daughters. “Hey, how was your day,” I imagine him saying. “We gonna watch something after dinner?”Our family may complain as we sneeze, mop, and search the floor for our missing pens. But we also hold our animals close as they help us laugh, marvel, and care for them, and for each other. Our lives have been overtaken by our animals. And we’re having a troublesome and wonderful tim e.4. What do we know about Daisy?A．She is allergic to cats. B．She has a heart problem.C．She doesn’t get excited easily.D．She is good at finding sweets.5. What can Gat o do?A．Fly like Spider-Man. B．Make a mess of the room.C．Talk like a real human. D．Tear down a Tokyo bridge.6. Which of the words can best describe the writer’s feeling towards their animals?A．Bittersweet. B．Concerned. C．Content. D．Depressed.7. What is the purpose of the text?A．To warn readers against keeping pets at home.B．To give advice on what species of animals to buy.C．To share their stories and feelings about keeping pets.D．To entertain readers with dark humour jokes about pets.Students have submitted more than 22 million papers that may have used generative AI in the past year, new data provided by plagiarism(剽窃) detection company Turnitin shows.A year ago, Turnitin introduced an AI writing detection tool that was trained on its database of papers written by students as well as other Al-generated texts. Turnitin found that 11 percent of the submissions may contain AI-written language in 20 percent of its content, with 3 percent of the total papers reviewed having 80 percent or more AI writing.ChatGPT’s launch was met with fears that the English class essay would d ie. The chatbot can process information near-instantly——but that doesn’t mean it always gets it right. Generative AI has been known to create its own facts and cite academic references that don’t actuallyexist.Generative AI chatbots have also been caught producing discriminatory (歧视性的) text on gender and race. Despite those disadvantages, students have used chatbots for research, and organizing ideas. Traces of chatbots have even been found in published ac．．ademic writing.Detecting the use of generative AI is tricky. It’s not as easy as marking plagiarism, because generated text is still original text. Plus, there’s a slight difference to how students use generative AI; some may ask chatbots to write their papers for them in large parts or in full, while others may use the tools as an aid or a brainstorm partner.Detection tools themselves have a risk of discrimination. English language learners may be more likely to set them off; a 2023 study found a 61.3 percent false positive rate when evaluating Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) exams with seven different AI detectors.“This is hard. I understand why people want a tool,” says Emily Isaacs, executive director of the Office of Faculty Excellence at Montclair State. But Isaac s says the university is concerned about potentially discriminatory results from AI detectors, as well as the fact that the tools can’t provide confirmation the way they can with plagiarism.8. What did Turnitin find?A．All submitted papers were written by generative AI.B．AI wrote 80% of the content of the papers they had collected.C．AI could only be used to improve language instead of content of papers.D．AI may have created one fifth of the content among 11% of the submitted papers.9. What can we learn about generative AI?A．It sometimes produces discriminatory content.B．It will surely lead to the death of English class essays.C．It’s getting popular for its accuracy and quick response.D．It has been officially accepted in published academic writing.10. What do Paragraphs 4-5 mainly focus on?A．The ways to detect plagiarism in paper writing.B．The challenges of using plagiarism detection tools.C．The differences between plagiarism and original writing.D．The advantages of applying AI detectors to fighting plagiarism.11. How does Emily Isaac s respond to the use of detection tools?A．She supports it. B．She’s against it.C．She doesn’t care.D．She’s cautious.A recent study by UCLA Health discovered that women who feel lonely show brain activity in areas linked to cravings and the drive to eat, particularly when viewing images of high-calorie foods like sugary treats. These women also displayed unhealthy eating habits and suffered from poor mental health.Arpana Gupta, Ph. D., a researcher and co-director of the UCLA Goodman-LuskinMicrobiome Center, wanted to research the negative impacts of loneliness, especially as people continue to be working remotely after the COVID-19 pandemic, and how the brain interacts with social isolation, eating habits, and mental health. While it is established that obesity is linked to depression and anxiety and that overeating is understood to be a coping mechanism (机制)against loneliness, Gupta wanted to observe the brain pathways associated with these feelings and behaviors.The researchers surveyed 93 women about their support system and their feelings of loneliness and isolation, then separated them into two groups: those who scored high on the perceived social loneliness scale, and those who scored low. The researchers found that women who had higher levels of social loneliness tended to have higher fat mass, lower diet quality, reward-based eating, and uncontrolled eating, and increased levels of anxiety and depression.The women were then shown pictures of food versus non-food, sweet food versus non-food, and savory food versus non-food. MRI scans recorded the participants’ brain activity while they viewed these images.The researchers found that the group of women who perceived themselves to be lonely experienced increased activation in regions of the brain associated with greater drive to eat sugary foods, and decreased activation in the brain region associated with self-control toward eating behaviors. “These findings are interesting because it provides evidence for what we intuitively (直觉地) know,” Gupta said. “When people are alone or lonely, it impacts more than how they are feeling; they underreport what they eat, and their desire to eat unhealthy foods.”12. Which word is closest in meaning to “craving” in Paragraph 1?A．Desire. B．Willingness. C．Discipline. D．Ambition.13. What’s the function of Paragraph 2?A．Providing earlier research results.B．Explaining the research methods.C．Introducing the research background.D．Telling the significance of the research.14. Which of the following statements matches the findings of this research?A．The lonelier women feel, the less they eat.B．Obesity is linked to depression and anxiety.C．Loneliness can drive women to eat more sugary food.D．Lonely women often lie about their mental problems.15. What is the best title for the text?A．Eating the Way to Happiness B．Feeding the Lonely Brain"C．Loneliness Leads to Obesity D．Food Sweetens Sad SoulsNo matter where you are on the planet, the effects of the climate crisis are vast and real. We know individual actions can only get us so far, and solving the issue of climate change is the job of governments. 16 Here are some tips for what we individuals can do to help work toward a more sustainable future.Switch to climate friendly home appliancesBy using home appliances and vehicles that run on electricity, we can help reduce our carbon footprint and leave more fossil fuels in the ground. Here are a few appliances to consider, such as clothing dryers with the “Energy Star” label and water heaters that use heat pump technology. 17 So don’t feel like you have to change out your appliances overnight. Instead, buy them as your existing machines wear out.Eat less meatMeat production is hard on the environment: It requires a lot of land to raise cattle —and globally, many forests are being cleared to make room for those animals. 18 If people could cut back their beef consumption, it could have a major impact on creating a more sustainable food system.Freeze produce you can’t use right awayAbout 8% of greenhouse gas emissions come from wasted food, and roughly half of all food waste occurs during “the consumption stage”. One of the best tools to help reduce wasted food? The freezer. If you’re not ready to use fresh fruit and vegetables right away, freeze them. 19Cut back on plasticThe plastics problem is overwhelming. 20 Are you using a bottle of body wash? Replace it with a bar of soap. Bring your own bags for groceries instead of packing your goods in plastic bags, or your favorite reusable cup to your local coffee shop.The doorbell rang one mid-December evening.

浙江省宁波市慈溪市2023-2024学年高二下学期6月期末英语试题
浙江省宁波市慈溪市2023-2024学年高二下学期6月期末英语试题一、阅读理解1．What does “a tear in the ocean” in Poem B imply?A．I feel sad for your love.B．You mean everything to me.C．I won’t stop loving you all my life.D．My love for you is as wide as the ocean. 2．Which poem is a suitable choice to encourage a frustrated friend?A．Poem A．B．Poem B．C．Poem C．D．Poem D．3．Which of the following themes is NOT covered in the four poems?A．Friendship.B．Freedom.C．Choices.D．Perseverance.“A good book is easy to find”, reads the sign on Hernando Guanlao’s two-storey ancestral home on the outskirts of the Philippines’ main financial district which he has turned into a free-for-all public library where anyone can borrow books or keep any of its thousands of books.It all began in 2000, when reading ability among students in the Philippines remains low. In memory of his parents who were able to gift their children with education, Guanlao gathered whatever books he had around the house, and placed them outside with a sign that reading was free. What started as a 50-book display has grown dramatically over the years, thanks to a steady supply of books from donors, some of whom opted to stay anonymous. “They just leave boxes of books outside my house,” said Guanlao.Called the Reading Club 2000, Guanlao’s library showcases a wide variety of books he hopes will inspire people, especially young curious minds to read. Books, believes Guanlao, need to live. And they are only alive if they are being read and used. He is firm about his goals: “My mission is to give away used and donated books to others at no cost, and to promote education through literature.”Migs M, a writer, admitted frankly, “One of my passions is reading, and I’ve always beenprotective of my books. So it’s quite a surprise for me to find out that a man actually set up the entire house he grew up as a free library.” Then her first time there, she ended up taking a book home. “As a believer in the power of words to inspire and transform, I applaud Guanlao and hope against all odds that there could be people like him in every street in every city of the country.”4．What’s Guanlao’s original purpose to set up the library?A．To make profits by sharing books.B．To motivate people into enjoying reading.C．To express honor to his parents for education.D．To promote students’ reading ability in Philippines.5．What do we know about the Reading Club 2000?A．The books are all from donors.B．The library centers on protecting the books.C．The books can be borrowed or bought as visitors wish.D．The library targets at raising people’s reading awareness.6．Which of the following words can be used to describe Guanlao?A．Devoted and clever.B．Ambitious and confident.C．Generous and knowledgeable.D．Inspiring and passionate.7．What’s the best title of the passage?A．Reading Club 2000: Free for All B．Reading Club 2000: A Public library.C．Hernando Guanlao: A Generous Charitarian.D．Hernando Guanlao: the Founder of Reading Club 2000.From more boiling summers to more frequent floods, warming weather is impacting our lives in every aspect. For animals, however, it’s not just a comfortable living environment in danger, but their very existence. Many animals are in danger of disappearing due to climate change. A study published on March 7 used fossils from sea creatures to find out which animals are facing the highest risk of extinction as our planet’s climate continues to shift.Carried out by the University of Oxford, the study found that the size of an animal plays a big part in its ability to survive and reproduce. Smaller animals are more likely to become extinct because they tend to use up their energy quickly due to their size. They need lots of food to keep going, so any change that makes food scarce affects them more. Furthermore, small animalsusually don’t live as long as larger ones, making them more vulnerable to factors that might reduce their numbers.Another problem is that small animals generally can’t travel far. So, if their current home is disturbed, or if they face danger, it’s tough for them to find new homes or escape threats, which speed up their extinction, according to the study.Apart from small animals, those living in extreme heat or cold, such as at the poles, are facing more threats from climate change. These places go through big weather changes, making life even more difficult for species that have already been dealing with tough conditions. As climate change worsens, these extreme environments change rapidly, posing a greater risk for the animals living there.This study presented us with important information on how to protect wildlife as the world gets warmer. By focusing on the most vulnerable species, conservationists can direct their work more effectively, making the most of limited resources and improving the chances of keeping biodiversity alive despite the environmental challenges.8．What does the underlined word “scarce” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A．Insufficient.B．Available.C．Unbalanced.D．Abundant. 9．What can be inferred from Paragraph 2 and Paragraph 3?A．Smaller animals consume their energy at a lower speed.B．The life span of animals is definitely decided by their size.C．The small size of animals potentially limits their travelling distance.D．Animals’ habitats destruction makes them difficult to escape threats.10．What’s the function of the first sentence in Paragraph 4?A．Introducing the topic.B．Transiting to another point.C．Echoing the content in paragraph 3.D．Summarizing the above paragraphs. 11．Which of the following is a suitable measure to protect wildlife?A．Focusing on keeping biodiversity.B．Carrying out more research work.C．Reducing the usage of limited resources.D．Paying more attention to the most endangered species.When it comes to heart attacks, the first image that often comes to mind is that of amiddle-aged or older overweight man, clutching his chest and struggling with a pained expression. You’re far less likely to think of a female heart attack victim.According to Forbes, medical research has traditionally been led by men, which unavoidably leads to a lack of female-related data and information in medical research. From diagnosis to treatment, gender differences are often overlooked.A previous study found that women are 25 percent more likely to die of heart attacks than men in the same circumstances. The reason lies in the difference in heart attack symptoms between men and women. According to the Mayo Clinic, one of the top-ranking hospitals in the US, women are less likely to have chest pains, which are deemed as a typical symptom of heart attacks. Instead, they have more atypical symptoms, including shoulder pain and arm pain. As a result, many women were initially given a mistaken diagnosis, delaying access to the right treatment and increasing the fatality rate.Even if a female is correctly and promptly diagnosed with a heart attack, there’s another problem: medicine. Research has found that certain medicines used to dissolve blood clots (凝块) right after a heart attack can be helpful for a lot of men, but might lead to serious bleeding issues in women. Still, the fields of healthcare and medicine see a male’s body as the “standard” human body. For example, Valium (安定) has been promoted as the “mother’s little helper” for treating anxiety among women. However, a study noted that the medicine developer had never conducted a single trial involving women until 2003.Take a look at the medicine you have taken recently: There’s always one recommended dosage for adults. But who is this dosage meant for? An adult in general, or specifically an adult man?12．Which is the reason for a lack of female-related data and information in medical research?A．Gender differences are always ignored.B．Men play a main part in the medical research.C．The medical field is totally dominated by men.D．There is a shortage of women’s diagnosis and treatment.13．Why are women at a higher risk of dying of a heart attack than men?A．Women are less willing to seek medical help.B．Women often display less obvioussymptoms.C．Women are more easily given a wrong diagnosis.D．Women’s symptoms are often moresevere than men’s.14．Why does the author mention Valium in Paragraph 4?A．To demonstrate gender-based healthcare inequalities.B．To call for correct use of medicine on different people.C．To describe the historical use of Valium by both genders.D．To show Valium’s effectiveness in treating women’s anxiety.15．What is the passage mainly about?A．Differences in heart attack treatments.B．The importance of female data in medicine.C．The gender gap in healthcare and medicine.D．Misconceptions about female data in research.How to spot misinformation onlineWe’ve all seen it——an article online that seems absolutely crazy or unbelievable. 16 Misinformation isn’t just annoying, it can be false, misleading or even dangerous. But there’s good news: you have tools you can use to help sort through misinformation and identify what’s real and what’s fake.Pause and be skeptical about new information. Whenever you come across an article or post that you haven’t seen before, take a second to consider it. Don’t just scroll by accepting it as fact without exercising some skepticism first. 17 It’s better to investigate information to make sure it’s legal before spreading it around.18 Look up the information at the source to see if it was actually published there. Double-check the date of the article or information to make sure it’s current and still accurate. Usually, the date is located next to the author of the article.Check to see if you can tell who the original author is. Find out who wrote the information by looking up the article or searching for their name. Check to see if the author is an expert who often covers the subject. If the author isn’t listed, it’s a sign that it could be false or misleading information. 19Watch out for information that triggers a strong emotional response. 20 If you spot an article, a post or any other information that causes you to feel a super-strong emotion, be alerted. It could be a sign that it’s fake and designed to get a reaction out of you.A．It’s okay to be doubtful!B．Double-check the quote or the post.C．Confirm the source and date of the information.D．The thing is, there’s a lot of misinformation out there these days.E．If only one place is reporting something, the information may be false.F．Misinformation is often designed to make you feel angry, sad, or scared.G．An article by a registered doctor is more credible than one without an author mentioned.二、完形填空If it takes a village to raise a child, then January 17, 2014, was the day it took a village to save a child.Waiting and praying were a daily 21 for Michelle as she’s one of the hundreds of American children 22 a new liver.

AThe playing field is never fair or equal. Your skills and attitude play a major role in the outcome. Knowing what you can do to have an advantage can make the difference between success and failure.My kids tell me it’s unfair to play with the big children. I tell them that’s right. Unfairness is a good thing. There is more to be gained by the effort when things seem unfair. It’s true that many things in the world are unfair. But unfair things usually benefit you. For example, the early bird catches the worm. It’s unfair that the bird that sleeps in misses out on breakfast but it’s nice to know that if it gets up early it’s sure to get the worm.I always try to explain to my kids that complaining about how unfair something is will get them nowhere. Instead, make the most of it and get on the other side of it. Once you do that you are in the advantage. Above all, you have to focus on gaining that unfair advantage and in order to do that, build your inner strength. When you empower yourself you are gaining skills or abilities, confidence and self-esteem (自尊). You should look at your place in the world. You are creating your own story when you empower yourself.You can build all the advantages that you need to live the life that you want. If you haven’t yet, you need to make a list of all the things you want to experience in your new life. This will help you focus on building advantages so that you never have to say that it’s Not Fair. When you do this then you will be able to realize that unfairness is a good thing and you will want to teach those around you to see unfairness in this way too.21. What does the underlined phrase “sleeps in” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A. Sleeps tight.B. Sleeps badly.C. Gets up late.D. Stays up late.22. What is the best way to deal with unfairness according to the author?A. Just accept it.B. Try to change it.C. Simply ignore it.D. Make good use of it.23. What is the text mainly about?A. The right attitude to unfairness.B. The way to live a happy life.C. Being patient enough to succeed.D. Staying calm when treated badly.BEurope has a rich history and it is a good place to journey.ParisParis, the heaven of fashion, culture and entertainment, is the most visited city in the world. It is also held as a numerous tourist destination due to the presence of the Eiffel Tower and several other historic buildings, museums and churches.RomeA talk about Europe is incomplete without a mention of Rome. Held as a place where one of the oldest civilizations of the world prospered（繁荣）, Rome is where you’d get to see numerous castles, palaces, ancient buildings, fountains, squares and beautiful parks. Several tourists come here especially to have a look at the Renaissance architecture that the buildings of this city boast.BarcelonaBarcelona, a major city in Spain, is regarded among the 10 best beach cities of the world. The city’s coastline has cl ear waters and a mild climate which makes it a favorite destination among sun bathers. Besides that, Barcelona has a glorious past to show off. You must wander through its busy streets and take a look at the historic buildings, castles, churches, parks and museums.ViennaIf you are a music lover and a steady devotee of Beethoven or Mozart, then a visit to Vienna is like going on a pilgrimage（朝圣）, this is because Vienna is the birthplace of these artists. You’d find their houses there and also find their me morial graves. Besides that, Vienna is known for castles, palaces, museums and historic monuments. If you are a devoted art lover, Vienna is the place for you. It has nearly a hundred museums devoted to art!24. Which place has the most tourists in the world according to the passage?A. Vienna.B.

Once he was handed a sheet of paper, a block of wood and four tires and told to return home and give them to his father. That was not an easy task for Gilbert to do. The piece of paper was a set of instructions（说明书）about how to bui ld a wooden racing car. Gilbert’s father laughed when he read the instructions. The block of wood remained untouched as the weeks passed.Finally, I stepped in to see if I could figure it all out. Having no skills, I decided it would be best if I simply read the instructions and let Gilbert do the work. And he did. Within days, his block of wood was turning into a pinewood racing car.Then the big night came. With his pinewood racing car in his hand and pride in his heart we headed to the big race. As the race was done in elimination fashion（淘汰赛形式）, you could keep racing as long as you were the winner.At last, it was between Gilbert and the fastest-looking car there. As the race was about to begin, Gilbert asked if they could stop for a minute, because he wanted to pray. Then the race stopped.Gilbert prayed in earnest for a very long minute. The Master came up to Gilbert and asked the obvious question, “So you prayed to win. Gilbert?”My young son answered, “Oh, no Sir. It wouldn’t be fair to ask God to hel p you beat someone else. I just asked him to make it so I don’t cry when I lose.”Children seem to have wisdom far beyond us. Perhaps we spend too much of our prayer time asking God to control the race, make us the champion, or remove us from the struggle, when we should be seeking God’s strength to get through what lies in our way.28. Gilbert’s father thought the task given by the Cub Scouts could .A. be no trouble at allB. be beyond Gilbert’s abilityC. require no skillsD. be too easy for Gilbert29. Who finally made the pinewood racing car?A. Gilbert.B. Gilbert’s father.C. Gilbert’s mother.D. The whole family.30. What can we learn about Gilbert?A. He made it in the final race.B. He thought the Master unfair.C. His performance inspired his mom.D. He was very afraid of losing the race.31. The author writes this passage to tell us that .A. adults should communicate more with childrenB. parents should help their children with the taskC. friendship is more important than winningD. victory is to gain the power to overcome difficultiesDTexting pedestrians（行人）aren’t just an annoyance to their fellow walkers, but something dangerous to themselves.“I was checking emails while walking to work this morning,” said Wilbert van den Hoorn. “But it has a serious influence on the safety of people who type or read text（短信）while walking.”Anecdotes back him up. A tourist from Taiwan walked off a port near Melbourne last month while checking Facebook. Another shopper in the U.S. was too addicted to his mobile phone to notice the fountain ahead walking straight into it.And as mobile-phone use has grown to about 77% of the world’s population, the study says －so has the number of phone-related accidents. The number of U.S. emergency-room visits linked to phone use on the move doubled to as many as 1,500 between 2005 and 2010, an Ohio State University study recently showed.Authorities world-wide have taken note. Signs on Hong Kong’s subway system advise passengers in three languages to keep their eyes off their phones. Police and transport authorities have also warned the danger in Singapore, where the Straits Times newspaper ranked it as “No.2 Bad Habit” due to the rising number of road deaths. Some U.S. states, including New York and Arkansas, are even considering bans on this act.Texting pedestrians walked slower and with shorter steps (and slowest of all when typing), and more seriously, they locked their arms and elbows in –like “robots”, in the researchers’ words. That forced their heads to move more, throwing them off balance.“In a pedestrian environment, inability to maintain a straight path would be likely to increase potential for hits, falls and traffic accidents,” said Mr. van den Hoorn. “The best thing to do is to step aside and stop, or keep off the phone.”32. The writer uses the two examples in Paragraph 3 to show .A. the advantages of mobile phonesB. the popularity of mobile phonesC. the use of mobile phones in a proper wayD. the use of mobile phones in a wrong way33. What is New York and Arkansas’ attitude t o texting pedestrians?A. Setting up signs to warn them.B. Ranking it as “No. 1 Bad Habit”.C. Considering forbidding their acts.D. Equipping them with advanced machines.34. Why are texting pedestrians likely to hit or fall according to the passage?A. They walk too fast.B. They are out of balance.C. They walk with longer steps.D. They lock their arms and elbows.35. What is the best title for the passage?A. Safety or Texting?B. Ways to Avoid FallsC. Texting or E-mailing?D. Mobile Phones for Entertainment第二节（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。
