The arts invite everyone to think in new ways.We often experience works of art as something that's pleasing to our senses without a full understanding of the creative effort. Great art often shows us contradictions and crises, and we can learn a great deal from their resolutions(解决). Through our understanding of art, we can gain a deeper understanding of how we might overcome our own challenges. In understanding extremes of contrast, we can see the beauty in art with themes that are not simply pleasing for their magnificent features or qualities.Beethoven offers a wonderful example of moving artfully through crises and chaos. He composed his Symphony No. 9 as his hearing loss became more and more pronounced. The opening of the symphony seems to come out of nowhere, from near silence in the opening to a full expression of what many consider to be the joy of freedom and universal brotherhood with Schiller's Ode to Joy(欢乐颂). Beethoven appears to have created a work of art that not only freed him from his personal struggles, but one that also speaks to the joy of living together in peace and harmony.Have a dialogue between the two opposing parts and you will find that they always start out fighting each other until we come to an appreciation of difference—a oneness of the two opposing forces. The arts offer many lessons that can help us gain the knowledge we need to move more confidently in today's competitive and uncertain environment. An openness to arts-based solutions will give you more control over your future.(1)What value does art have beyond pleasing people's senses?A.It brings people inner peace.B.It contributes to problem-solving.C.It reduces the possibility of crises.D.It deepens understanding of music.(2)What can we learn about Beethoven's Symphony No. 9?A.It celebrates freedom and unity.B.It aims to show crises and chaos.C.It opens with Schiller's Ode to Joy.D.It is unfinished due to his hearing loss.(3)What is the author's suggestion on dealing with conflicting forces?A.Leaving things as they are.B.Making a choice between them.C.Separating them from each other.D.Engaging them in a conversation.(4)Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A.How COVID-19 changes artB.Essentials of Symphony No. 9C.Moving artfully through crisesD.Joy in the eyes of BeethovenC.expressD.give opinions publicly(2)How do clams work while protecting city's drinking water?A.They refuse to drink the water when it is contaminated.B.They close their shells when faced with pollutants.C.They remind the computer operator to cut off the water supply.D.They deal with the polluted water immediately.(3)What does the author want to do in the last paragraph?A.To advise people to protect clams.B.To introduce a film about clams.C.To show people how to protect themselves.D.To warn people clams are harmful to mental health.(4)What is the main idea of the passage?A.The importance of clean drinking water.B.The basic ways to fight pollution.C.What we can do to protect clams.D.How clams fight pollution.(1)What is the real purpose of Girls Takeover?A.Asking boys to treat girls equally.B.Guaranteeing girls well-paid jobs.C.Focusing on the rights of girls.D.Promoting girls to be vital leaders.(2)What did Aava stress in her Wednesday's speech?A.Actions for climate change.B.Protection of human rights.C.The inequality in technology.D.The bad results of being poor.(3)Which of the following best describes Aava?A.Generous.B.Ambitious.C.Flexible.D.Creative.(4)What does the underlined word "harassed" in the last paragraph mean?A.Annoyed continually.B.Self-discouraged.C.Confused sometimes.D.Absent-minded.三、书面表达(本题共计 2 小题,每题 5 分,共计10分)6. 假定你是李华,上周参观了一个机器人展览。

江苏省徐州市2023-2024学年高二上学期期中考试英语试题

江苏省徐州市2023-2024学年高二上学期期中考试英语试题

江苏省徐州市2023-2024学年高二上学期期中考试英语试题学校:___________姓名:___________班级:___________考号:___________一、阅读理解If you’re feeling in the mood for grilled food but don’t have a barbecue, then deciding what product to purchase can be a bit difficult. So to help you get a better understanding of just some of the choices available, here’s our guide to buying a new BBQ.Charcoal vs GasThe first decision is how your BBQ is going to be powered. There are essentially two main choices: the traditional way with charcoal, or the quick and convenient way with gas. For those who get frustrated with the process of lighting coals and waiting for them to reach the desired temperature, then gas is the easy option. It’s clean and gets up to temperature in an instant. But for many, the main fun of a barbecue lies in the back-to-basics cooking that hot coal brings natural barbecue fire. You’ll also find a far greater range of charcoal barbecues. SizeFor anyone who likes to throw a garden party with a busy barbecue at the centre of the action, there are some vast grills (烤架) available. But unless you’re regularly feeding the masses, then these BBQ beasts can be impractical. Smaller meals are better suited to smaller equipment, so be realistic about the size that best suits you.Open grill or lidWhile facing the barbecue selection of your nearest retailer, you’ll notice that some of them have lids. These will usually be round and will make you pay more than the lidless options. But if you want the benefit of being able to cook larger items over a longer period of time, such as a whole chicken, then a lid will be essential.1.Which BBQ is suitable for Jack, who likes back-to-basics cooking and often invites friends to the garden party?A.Gas barbecue in small size.B.Gas barbecue in big size.C.Charcoal barbecue with big grills.D.Charcoal barbecue with small grills. 2.What is the difference between the open grill and the one with a lid?A.The open grill costs more.B.The open grill looks superior.C.The open grill is more reliable.D.The open grill is less suitable for larger items.3.Which column of the magazine is the passage most likely selected from?A.Lifestyle.B.Business.C.Culture.D.Sports.In recent years, wooden buildings have reached new heights, with soaring(高耸的)wooden skyscrapers completed or underway in countries like Norway, Switzerland and AustraliA.Sweden, likewise, has come up with a plan—building the world’s biggest wooden city. As the world’s largest urban construction project in wood, Stockholm Wood City will be built in Sweden’s capital, Stockholm in 2025.“By using wood, the project is expected to reduce carbon footprint by up to 40%,compared with building in concrete and steel,” says Annica Anäs, CEO of Atrium Ljungberg, a Swedish urban development company. Some people may have concerns over fire risks posed by wooden buildings, but experts say engineered timber(木材)can resist fire as well. As with other modern construction projects using wood, Wood City will still use some concrete and steel in places like the foundations, but the overall amounts will be greatly reduced.“The construction will not be as noisy as it is built from concrete and bricks,” adds Ms Anäs. This makes wooden buildings particularly suitable for urban redevelopment in general, since putting them up is less likely to annoy the neighbours. It should also be profitable. Ms Anäs is looking for a return on investment of 20% or better.The world’s largest wooden city is supposed to make commute (通勤) easier and shorter, decreasing emissions from transportation. The website for the project describes Stockholm Wood City as a “five minute city”. As Anäs concluded, “We want to create an environment where our customers, who will live and work here, can participate in the development and design of the city district of the future. ”4.The project mentioned in the passage is about__________.A.making a modern city B.creating wooden skyscrapersC.building the highest wooden building D.constructing the largest wooden city 5.What advantage do wooden buildings have over concrete and steel buildings?A.Resisting fires.B.Lasting long.C.Being environmentally friendly.D.Being comfortable.6.Wooden buildings are suitable for urban redevelopment mainly because__________.A.they are profitable for investors B.they cause less noise when builtC.they have a short construction period D.they are less costly to maintain and repair 7.What is Anäs’ attitude to the future of wood construction?A.Optimistic.B.Critical.C.Concerned.D.doubtful.Since 2001, robotic tools have caused great changes in the practice of surgery. They have greatly reduced the stress and physical demands normally placed on surgeons and have made certain procedures possible.One example is “keyhole surgery”, or minimally invasive (微创) surgery, which normally requires surgeons to stand at awkward angles and make difficult movements with their hands to make a cut inside the patient. But in June 2022, surgeon James Ansell used 3D glasses and two joysticks(操纵杆) to control four robotic arms to perform a procedure to remove a cancerous tumor (肿瘤). “My colleague said… that this feels like cheating,” Ansell said to The Guardian.Another area of surgery that has had major technological breakthroughs in recent years is telesurgery. Telesurgery, or remote surgery, is the use of technology that allows a surgeon to perform a procedure on a patient not in the same physical location.Normally, telesurgery relies on a wired connection due to concerns of harming the patient if a wireless connection should drop during surgery, but China made several advancements in wireless telesurgery based on 5G technology.China achieved the first 5G-based remote operation in March 2019 involving a brain surgery procedure between a surgeon in Sanya and a patient in Beijing, a distance totaling nearly 3,000 kilometers, reported CGTN. More recently, a team of surgeons at the Hainan Eye Hospital successfully completed remote micron–level eye surgery via a 5G robot on rabbits located at the Sun Yat-sen University in Guangzhou, reported China Daily.Some people even believe that robotic systems, combined with AI, could one day surpass(超过)human surgeons. But given current technological limitations and the high costs of these robots, the complete robot takeover of surgery may still be a while off.8.The underlined part in paragraph 2 indicates the procedure may___________.A.be illegal B.be difficult to controlC.cheat the patient D.be conducted unknowingly9.What significant achievement did China make in the field of telesurgery?A.Removing a cancerous tumor using 3D glasses.B.Achieving remote surgery using a wired connection.C.Doing the first 5G-based eye remote operation on humans.D.Performing the first wireless brain surgery with 5G technology.10.What can we infer about robots in the medical field according to the passage?A.They still need further development.B.They have been widely adopted.C.They are currently in high demand.D.They have surpassed human surgeons. 11.What is the article mainly about?A.The benefits of robotic surgery.B.The future of robotic surgery.C.The advancements in medical robotics.D.The achievements of China’s medicine.I’m a recovering addict. I was addicted to YouTube.My addiction started several years ago. My first experience was on the recommendation of a friend to check out Susan Boyle’s amazing singing on Britain’s Got Talent. I didn’t think much about it and got on with my life.But soon I found myself spending a lot of time staring at the screen and discovered onscreen offerings were truly endless. From one YouTuber I learned how to plant my own vegetable garden. Someone else gave wise sayings from philosophers. Down the rabbit hole I went, for hours and hours, watching other people living their lives and giving me advice on how to live mine.As the months rolled by, checking in every day with people who were talking to me personally (or so it seemed) became an addiction. I subscribed to (订阅) many channels and waited anxiously for new weekly offerings. I found all this calming and therapeutic.At some point, though, I got annoyed by these artistic and seemingly perfect lives. Who are filming them? Do they happen to live in a meadow (草地)? The questions started to disturb me while forcing comparisons with my own somewhat more ordinary existence.Regardless of my growing anxiety, I continued to click on the YouTube icon on my phone whenever I had a spare five minutes. I compared my life constantly with the images onscreen. I started to hate the endless rules presented for good health, financial stability and mental contentment. In a moment of clarity (清晰), I realized that I had a full and happy life myself, which suited me perfectly although it wouldn’t win awards for perfection onscreen. I put my phone away and started paying attention to my own life, instead of watching other people live theirs. I still like checking in once in a while for some entertainment andinspiration, but I’ve limited my exposure. I am content in the knowledge that my addiction to life onscreen has been replaced by life itself.12.What led the author to use YouTube for the first time?A.Her search for gardening tips.B.Her friend’s recommendation.C.Her curiosity about the platform.D.Her admiration for a famous singer. 13.What did the author think of YouTube videos at first?A.Informative and relaxing.B.Dull and discouraging.C.Creative and puzzling.D.Addictive and useless.14.What happened after the author became addicted to YouTube?A.She gradually lost purpose in life.B.She tried to copy others’ lifestyle.C.She sought for the peace of country life.D.She kept making comparisons withothers.15.What kind of life does the author live now?A.Stop surfing online.B.Upload videos about her life.C.Appreciate real-life experiences more.D.Spend more time on her social life.二、七选五meat by growing cells obtained from an animal’s body.Lab-grown meat, also called “cell–cultivated” or “cultured” meat, is made by feeding a mix of nutrients to animal cells in steel tanks in labs. The idea is to create an alternative to agriculturally raised meat. And unlike other meat substitutes which are made from plant proteins and other ingredients, lab-grown meat is real meat. 17Recently, the U. S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has given two companies approval to sell lab–grown chicken. 18 It’s aimed at eliminating (消除) harm to animals, and reducing the environmental impacts of grazing(放牧) and growing feed for animals.“Everything we know about how meat can be made is going to change. But don’t expect to see cultivated meat in grocery stores just yet,” said Uma Vaieti, CEO of UPSIDE Foods.19 That’s because it cannot yet be produced on the scale of traditional meat.“To make cultivated meat, we need much more energy,” said Bruce Friedrich, presidentand founder of the Good Food Institute. However, those high energy needs will be offset(补偿)by the reduction in land and water use and other benefits. It’s thought that cultured meat will be probably produced on a large scale. 20A.Lab-grown meat is much more expensive now.B.When ready, lab-grown meat is formed into shapes.C.The approval launches a new era of meat production.D.It looks, smells and tastes like any other grocery store version.E.But scientists behind lab-grown meat say that’s no longer necessary.F.That could also offer a solution to feeding the world’s growing population.G.The typical way meat is produced now is a risk factor for the emergence of diseases.三、完形填空Yue–Sai Kan’ s autobiography, Be a Pioneer, was released after three years’making.

Almost everyone likes dogs because they try hard to please their owners. One of my favorite stories is about a dog who wanted his owner to please him.One of my friends has a large German shepherd ( 牧羊狗) named Jack. Every Sunday afternoon, my friend takes Jack for a walk in the park. Jack likes these long walks very much.One Sunday afternoon, a young man came to visit my friend. He stayed a long time, and he talked and talked. Soon it was time for my friend to take Jack for his walk, but the visitor didn’t leave. Jack became very worried about his walk in the park. He walked around the room several times and then sat down directly in front of the visitor and looked at him. But the visitor paid no attention. He continued talking. Finally, Jack couldn’t stand it any longer. He went out of the room and came back a few minutes later. He sat down again in front of the visitor, but this time he held the man’s hat in his mouth.German shepherds aren’t the only intelligent dogs. Another intelligent dog is a Seeing Eye dog. This is a special dog which helps blind people walk along the streets and do many other things. We call these dogs Seeing Eye dogs becaus e they are the “eye” of the blind people and they help them to “see”. Seeing Eye dogs generally go to special schools for several years to learn to help blind people.41.

Dogs ─ O ur Faithful CompanionsC. An Introduction to DogsD. Famous Dogs in GermanyCIn Jane Austin’s time, unmarried girls were always closely guarded, and hardly allowed to be alone with a young man; and during the Victorian period (just the period after Jane Austin) exposure(暴露) of the body in particular was thought to be most immoral, Victorian ladies wore dresses reaching down to their feet, long in the sleeve and high at the neck. Since then, ways of dressing as well as times have changed. Girls were no longer guarded, and they can do more or less what they like. And yet among all these astonishing changes, one thing has remained much the same for most people, and that is the same of becoming a mother before being married. If this does happen, there often comes a quickmarriage with the responsible man. If this is impossible, the affair may bring considerable shame to the girl’s parents as well as to herself.It is now quite normal for a girl, once past the age of about fifteen, to go out with a boyfriend, and although her parents will probably insist that she come home at a certain time, beyond this they depend on her or look after herself. Kisses between young men and women are now considered to be perfectly normal, but although times have changed so much, most people still believe that a woman should not become a mother before being married.45. In Jane Austin periods, a girl______________ before her marriage.A. always faced all kinds of dangers.B. was not permitted to get in touch with men.C. was always carefully kept staying morally pureD. usually felt lonely.46.
