During their walk, his three-year-old son was thirsty and wanted a drink from the corner store. But Thorleifsson soon discovered he couldn't help with the simple request: A 20-centimetre step blocked his access to the store.The barrier was all too familiar. Born with muscular dystrophy, which causes progressive weakness and loss of muscle, Thorleifsson, now 46, has been using a wheelchair since he was 25. As he waited outside, he recalled, “I thought about how strange it is that we separate families in thi s way. I thought about all the times I wasn’t able to join my friends at restaurants, pubs and stores that are inaccessible.”Living all over the world as a creative director and digital designer in cities such as San Francisco and Tokyo, Thorleifsson had witnessed first-hand how different cities consider and plan for accessibility, from ramps(斜坡) and sidewalks to public transportation.Having recently sold his digital creative agency, Ueno, to Twitter, Thorleifsson now had the financial means to make a difference in his hometown. He decided to start with a project to make Iceland wheelchair accessible, one ramp at a time.Ramp Up Reykjavik was launched as a non-profit in 2021 with a goal to build 100 ramps, mostly in the city’s down-town, within a year. Unlike portable and temporary solutions in other cities, these ramps are permanent structures that match the aesthetic of the buildings, making them appear as if they’ve always been there. It’s a design detail that helps provide a sense of inclusivity.With the help of government funding and other sponsors, the Ramp Up team finished ahead of schedule and has broadened its scope to all of Iceland, with the goal of building1, 500 ramps countrywide by 2026.4.What inspired Thorleifsson to build the ramps?A. His inconvenience in life.B. His childhood experience.C. A request from his wife.D. His desire to make a fortune.5.What made it possible for Thorleifsson to start the project?A. Great donations from society.B. Money from sale of his company.C. Full support from the government.D. A wealth of experience in management.6.What is special about Thorleifsson’s project?A. It is non-profit.B. It highlights the details.C. It fits in with the surroundings.D. It solves the problem temporarily.7.Which of the following words can best describe Thorleifsson?A. Flexible and thoughtful.B. Modest and considerate.C. Selfless and confident.D. Generous and helpful.We’ve all done it before—dropped a box of unwanted household belongings at a flea market and driven off with a sense of accomplishment. But have you ever stopped to think about where those items actually go?Business journalist Adam Minter began considering this while cleaning out his late mother’s home. Seeking reassurance that his mother’s donated item s would be put to good use rather than destroyed, he started a journey worldwide that resulted in his latest book, “Secondhand: Travels in the New Global Garage Sale”. He found the industry significantly in the dark, with a disturbing lack of data on secondhand goods, despite their crucial role in clothing, furnishing and educating people worldwide.In this book, Minter fully reveals himself as an investigative journalist. He doesn’t shy away from the commonly-accepted assumptions about the global trade in used goods. First, Minter questions the idea that shipments of secondhand clothes from developed countries to Africa have destroyed local textile industries (纺织业). That’s overly simplistic, he says. He further explains that multiple factors, such as declining cotton production in local areas and economic liberation, have influenced the situation.Minter then explores the topic of car seats, making a statement that recycling car seats, instead of selling them secondhand, is wasteful and might compromise (危害) safety for children in developing countries. It is disturbing to say so in a society that prioritizes child safety and highlights zero risk, but when you consider the excessive caution that might endanger children’s lives elsewhere, the situation starts t o look different.Minter calls it “waste colonialism,” this idea that developed countries can apply their own safety standards onto the markets of developing countries—and it’s deeply wrong. Why label an used car seat or an old TV as unsafe if someone else, with different skills, is perfectly capable of repairing it and willing to use it, especially if they lack access to new products and other options?The book explores the huge problems of handling surplus (剩余的) items and how producers discourage repairs and promote the sales of new products. Minter calls for initiatives to enhance product repairability and increase product lifetime.8.Why does Minter set out on a journey worldwide?A. To remember his late mother.B. To explore where used items end up.C. To collect data for fashion industries.D. To advocate recycling of used goods.9.In Minter’s opinion, the common idea about secondhand clothes trade in Africa is ________.A. groundlessB. one-sidedC. conventionalD. self-contradictory10.Which acti on taken by developed countries might Minter describe as “waste colonialism”?A. Selling old TV sets to developing countries.B. Denying access to used car seats domestically.C. Banning used goods export to developing countries.D. Prioritizing safety in new goods for developing countries.11.What does Minter encourage producers to do in his book?A. Handle used items efficiently.B. Promote sales of new products.C. Make more sustainable products.D. Take the initiative to boost production.Nir Eyal was part of a team of Stanford MBAs and also one of the brightest investors in Silicon Valley. He documented his experiences, reading and observations of hundreds of companies to know how mind manipulation(操纵) worked—how products change our actions, and create desires. The result of his research is the Hook Model.A trigger is the actuator of behavior. Triggers come in two types: external and internal. Habit-forming products start by alerting users with external triggers like an email, a website link, or the app icon. For example, suppose Barbra, a young woman in Pennsylvania, happens to see a photo in her Facebook taken by a family member from a rural part of the state. It’s a lovely picture and since she is planning a trip there, the external trigger’s call-to-action intrigues her and she clicks. By cycling through successive hooks, users begin to formassociations with internal triggers, which attach to existing behaviors and emotions.The simple action takes Barbra to a website called Pinterest, a “pinboard-style photo sharing” site where she is dazzled by other fascinating objects related to what she is generally interested in—namely things to see on her upcoming trip.Variable rewards are one of the most powerful tools companies implement to hook users. Research shows that levels of the dopamine(多巴胺) rise when the brain is expecting a reward. Wanting rewards creates a focused state, which suppresses the areas of the brain associated with judgment and reason while activating the parts associated with wanting and desire.When Barbra lands on Pinterest, she’s spending more time hunting for the next wonderful thing. Before she knows it, she enjoys endlessly scrolling Pinterest, and she builds a desire to keep the things that delight her. By collecting items, s he’ll be giving the site data about her preferences. Soon she will follow and make other investments, which serve to increase her ties to the site and prepare her for future loops through the hook.12.What did Eyal’s research focus on?A. His personal experiences.B. His findings of Hook Model.C. His observations of companies.D. His researches on human brain.13.What drives Barbra to access Pinterest?A. The website has a unique style.B. A photo in her Facebook attracts her.C. External and internal triggers both work on her.D. There is a lot of information about her upcoming trip.14.What is the main idea of the fourth paragraph?A. How a reward works.B. How the brain works.C. Why the levels of dopamine rise.D. What influences judgment and reason.15.How did Pinterest hook Barbra?A. By suggesting on investments.B. By offering appealing discounts.C. By learning about her preferences.D. By making workable plans for her future.二、七选五16.Standing on a hill at Cliveden Gardens on a sunny winter day, its dark-green lake surrounded by centuries-old trees took my breath away.①_____It’s just a local park near London that I’d never heard of during my eight years living in the UK. As I admired the serene garden, it taught me a lesson about the British culture of understatement.“The English landscape is more beautiful because its beauty is understated,” my friend Will said to me later as we walked through an exhibition at Tate Britain. He pointed to a painting of a peaceful countryside. “This is the landscape I grew up with”, he said. Unlike grand waterfalls or wild forests, this scenery doesn’t shout about its beauty. ②_____I wonder if Chinese tourists will explore beyond London. ③_____Indeed, Oxford and Cambridge and the beloved Lake District National Park are some iconic symbols of Britain. But it would be a pity if they miss out on the lesser-known parts of the English landscape.④_____I remember a straight-A classmate once telling me he “survived exams” and another friend from Oxford introducing him self as “studying in the countryside”. This modesty also has its mirror in Chinese culture. I remember my parents’ telling me to work hard but not to brag about my achievements. Chinese culture is full of proverbs such as “real gold will shine sooner or la ter”, to encourage long-term dedication to one’s chosen area of expertise.Experiencing both cultures, I’ve realized that the English and Chinese both express achievements with understatement. ⑤_____It reflects the unspoken charm in both British and Chines e traditions. And it’s an off-the-beaten-path attraction well worth exploration.A. Cliveden isn’t a famous holiday place.B. Rather, its beauty is reserved for the locals only.C. I’ve been impressed by British humor all the time.D. They tend to prefer places with a strong reputation.E. But the more I looked, the more I saw its quiet elegance.F. Over the years, I’ve become familiar with British modesty.G. This mix makes me appreciate the unusual beauty of Cliveden.三、完形填空(15空)The rural girl from India, Anjali, was born blind.

河北省衡水市2024-2025学年高三上学期第二次调研考试(9月月考)英语试题

河北省衡水市2024-2025学年高三上学期第二次调研考试(9月月考)英语试题

河北省衡水市2024-2025学年高三上学期第二次调研考试(9月月考)英语试题一、阅读理解Below are some strategies that can be employed in class to engage students in learning activities.Think — Pair — ShareThis technique is popular in the lower elementary grades to encourage speaking and listening skills. First, ask students to think about their response to a question, and then ask them to pair up with another person, usually someone nearby. The pair discuss their response, and then they share that response with a larger group.FishbowlA fishbowl is organized with two four student groups who sit facing each other in the center of the room. All the other students sit in a circle around them. Those students seated in the center discuss the question. Students on the outside circle take notes. In a variation, students on the outside may provide quick notes known as “fish food” by passing them to students on the inside for use in their discussion.Concentric CirclesOrganize students into two circles, one outside circle and one inside circle so that each student on the inside is paired with a student on the outside. The teacher poses a question to the whole group. Each pair discuss how to respond. After this brief discussion, the students on the outside circle move one space to the right. This will mean each student will be part of a new pair. The teacher can have them share the results of that discussion or pose a new question.PyramidStudents begin this strategy in pairs and respond to a discussion question with a single partner. At a signal from the teacher, the first pair join another pair which creates a group of four. These groups of four share their ideas. Next, the groups of four move to form groups of eight in order to share their best ideas. This grouping can continue until the whole class is joined up in one large discussion.1.Which strategy can a teacher adopt if he doesn’t want all the students to speak?A.Think — Pair — Share.B.Fishbowl.C.Concentric Circles.D.Pyramid.2.What’s a unique aspect of Concentric Circles?A.Students change partners.B.Students respond to a question.C.Students pass notes to each other.D.Students take turns to present their ideas. 3.How does Pyramid work?A.Best ideas are collected for a presentation.B.One group combines with another with each step.C.The whole class work together to carry out a project.D.Groups of four move around the classroom to share ideas.Malonga was born in Brazzaville, Congo, where his grandmother owned a restaurant. His love for food and cooking started there. He spent his teenage years in Germany and he started his career working in top European restaurants.In 2015, he competed in the French Top Chef TV show as the first Black chef to do so. When it came time to open his own restaurant, he took a two - year tour of the African continent, seeking inspiration.He opened Meza Malonga in 2020. Dinners at Meza Malonga have no menu — the meal changes based on seasonally available ingredients(食材)and what’s exciting Malonga at the moment. Giant windows open onto the hills of Kigali. The chefs present each course. There’s nobody yelling(大喊), “Yes chef!” and Malonga pointedly refers to “our restaurant… our menu… our project.” His longest employee is Frank Buhigiro, who says “The way we work is like we are family. You know, we don’t have pressure because we get time to think and create.”The restaurant is only open for eight months out of the year. For the other four months, Malonga and his team travel the continent. They experience different African cuisines first - hand, and source unique ingredients. But it’s more driven, more intense, than just sourcing. Malonga has visited 48 African countries, eating his way across the continent. Upon returning to Kigali, he brings back new flavors as souvenirs(纪念品). He describes new tastes like a shiny new toy. “Right now, I’m eating cassava leaves — I love it!”Malonga wants to carve out a space for African food in the global fine dining scene. Something he thinks is increasingly possible based on how people travel. Now, he says, people book trips not based on where they sleep, but where they eat.4.What gave Malonga his early inspiration for his career?A.A European cooking show.B.A famous chef in Germany.C.His book about African cuisine.D.His grandmother’s restaurant.5.In what way is Meza Malonga unique?A.It combines dining with traveling.B.It has a fixed menu that never changes.C.Diners can choose their own ingredients.D.The chefs present each course to the diners.6.What’s the working atmosphere like in Meza Malonga?A.Easy and simple.B.Warm and relaxing.C.Formal but exciting.D.Positive but tense.7.What is the main purpose of Malonga and his team’s travels across Africa?A.To enhance their team spirit.B.To search for designs for toy souvenirs.C.To experience cuisines and source ingredients.D.To seek suitable locations for opening new restaurants.Ernesto Gomez’s journey into ornithology (鸟类学) began with a childhood encounter with scarlet macaws as they flew past him in the green rainforest of Chiapas, Mexico. This experience fired a lifelong passion for birds and conservation, leading him to specialize in ornithology and join Pronatura Península deY ucatán (PPY), an environmental conservation group in Mexico.Gomez’s work is supported by Fish and Wildlife Service grant programs that improves wetland habitats for migratory birds and promotes environmental education and research. One of Gomez’s key projects involves restoring and managing wetland habitats in the Yucatan Peninsula, which has led to the return of several species. These efforts not only support bird populations butalso reduce the vulnerability of coastal communities by improving their capacity to adapt to environmental risks.Community engagement is central to PPY’s success, with the annual Toh Festival being a key example. This festival, named after a bird of cultural significance, hosts a variety of bird-related activities from March to November, including birding marathons, photo expeditions (探险), contests, tours, and workshops. These events inspire community members to appreciate and protect the region’s rich biodiversity.As a nature photographer, Gomez approaches his work with respect for the wildlife, aiming to remain careful to avoid disturbing the birds. His photography serves a higher purpose, creating media communications that support PPY’s environmental education and community outreach initiatives. His images not only record the beauty of birds but also provide a window into their world, inspiring people to learn more about the challenges they face and the habitats they depend on.Ernesto Gomez proved to us the power of photography to inspire and educate. His work ensures that the beauty of Yucatan’s birds and habitats continues to inspire, reminding us of the vital link between people and nature.8.Where did Ernesto Gomez’s interest in ornithology come from?A.An encounter with scarlet macaws.B.A documentary on wetland conservation.C.A photography exhibition about Mexican forests.D.An educational program onenvironmental science.9.What does the underlined word “vulnerability” mean in paragraph 2?A.The stability of regional biodiversity.B.The quality of being weak and easily hurt.C.The capability of managing wetland habitats.D.The probability of being adaptive to environmental risks.10.What is a primary purpose of the Toh Festival?A.To raise funds for conservation projects.B.To engage people in bird-related activities.C.To promote bird - watching as a tourism activity.D.To recognize the work of nature photographers.11.How do Gomez’s photos contribute to PPY’s mission?A.By providing visual documentation for scientific research.B.By attracting birding marathoners to the Yucatan Peninsula.C.By creating media communications for environmental education.D.By encouraging people to face the challenges of environmental conservation.Albino redwoods, with their slightly shining white appearance, are a rare sight in California’s coastal forests. Despite lacking chlorophyll, which is used to photosynthesize(光合作用), these trees have managed to survive, puzzling researchers for over a century. However, a recent study by biologist Zane Moore from the University of California in Davis may have uncovered the secret to their existence.Redwoods rank among the tallest organism on earth and claim an existence of some 3,500 years. They are known for their complex root systems that allow them to communicate and share nutrients during tough times. Researchers have seen this firsthand by introducing dye to trees on one side of an area of redwoods and tracing it all the way to the further reaches. In summer, they become more independent, and those unable to sustain themselves are cut off from the shared system in the autumn needle drop.So, if albino red woods can’t photosynthesize, why are they able to stick around? Moore’s research suggests that albino redwoods survive by tapping into the communal root system and absorbing sugars from healthier neighbors. Contrary to the belief that they are parasites(寄生植物), Moore’s findings indicate a symbiotic(共生) relationship.Albino redwoods tend to grow in less healthy conditions and have been found to contain high levels of poisonous heavy metals in their leaves. Moore theorizes that these trees are not only surviving but also serving a purpose by acting as a “reservoir(水库) for poison”, thus protecting their healthier counterparts. This discovery could potentially make it possible to use albino redwoods in polluted areas to safeguard other trees.The study highlights the interconnectedness of trees and their ability to look out for one another, forming bonds and even recognizing their offspring. Moore’s research emphasizes the importance of considering the entire community of trees, rather than focusing on individuals, to understand what’s happening in the forest.12.What can be learned about redwoods?A.They depend on each other for nutrition in tough times.B.They have unusually strong roots that can reach very far.C.How they photosynthesize has puzzled researchers for long.D.How they communicate among individuals remains a secret.13.How do albino redwood s survive?A.They become parasites of other tree species.B.They rely on the fallen needles for their growth.C.They have developed an alternative method of photosynthesis.D.They absorb sugars from the root system of healthier redwoods.14.What role do albino redwood s play in the forest ecosystem?A.They transport water for the forest.B.They act as a source of food for other plants.C.They protect other redwood trees by absorbing poison.D.They are responsible for the reproduction of the redwood species.15.What’s the best title of the text?A.Albino Redwoods May be the Result of PollutionB.Albino Redwoods May Survive to Help Nearby TreesC.Symbiotic Relationship is Built among Albino RedwoodsD.Researchers Discovered Complex Root System of Albino RedwoodsMischief Night, also known by various names like Devil’s Night and Cabbage Night, is a tradition that has changed over time in the United States and Canada. Historically, Halloween pranks(恶作剧)were performed on October 31st. 16 However, by the 1920s and 1930s, these pranks changed into more serious acts of destruction, possibly due to the social tensions of the Great Depression.In an effort to deal with this destructive behavior, parents and community leaders encouraged the tradition of trick-or-treat. 17 This shift effectively moved the mischief from October 31st to October30th.The custom of Mischief Night is particularly popular in areas with a history of Irish and Scottish immigration, such as the northeastern United States and English-speaking communities inCanada. 18According to a Cambridge Online Survey of World Englishes, 74% of Americans surveyed do not have a specific name for this night. 19 East Michigan referred to it as Devil’s Night, parts of New Jersey and New York as Mischief Night, and Washington State as Devil’s Eye. A similar study conducted by Harvard University a decade ago revealed other names like Gate Night, which involved opening farmers’ gates to let livestock roam free.20 The term Cabbage Night, for instance, originates from an old Scottish tradition where young women would use cabbages in fortune- telling rituals on All Hallows’ Eve, leading to a tradition of throwing cabbages at neighbors’ homes. Despite the decline in the use of specific names, Mischief Night continues to be a part of local traditions.A.Yet, regional names do exist.B.They offered candy to children in costumes as an alternative.C.The origins of these names have long been a topic of discussion.D.They involved light - hearted tricks such as throwing eggs at houses.E.Children had great fun but parents were concerned about the serious destruction.F.The data suggest that the specific names for this night are gradually fading away. G.However, it is less common in the South, West, and French-speaking regions of Canada.二、完形填空My friend Julie and I had completed an incredibly complicated set of instructions which led us to our comfortable room in Tokyo.

And anyone who has tried to learn to play the violin or other instruments can report similar challenges.Now researchers have found that people with musical training have an easier time learning Chinese. Writing in the online edition of Nature Neuroscience,researchers from Northwestern University say that both skills draw on the same parts of the brain that help people discover changes in pitch(音调).One of the study's authors,Nina Kraus,said the findings suggested that studying music “actually tunes our sensory system”.This means that schools that want children to do well in languages should hesitate before cutting music programs,Dr. Kraus said. She said music training might also help children with language problems.Mandarin(普通话)speakers have been shown to have a more complex encoding(编码) of pitch patterns in their brains than English speakers do. This is because in Mandarin and other Asian languages,pitch plays a central role. A single­syllable word can have several meanings depending on how it is intoned.For this study,the researchers looked at 20 non­Chinese speaking volunteers,half with no musical background and half who have studied an instrument for at least six years.As they were shown a movie,the volunteers also heard an audio tape of the Mandarin word “mi”in three of its meanings:squint,bewilder and rice. The researchers recorded activities in their brain stems to see how well they were processing the sounds. Those with a music background showed much more brain activities in response to the Chinese sounds.The lead author of the study,Patrick C.M.Wong,said it might work both ways. It appears that native speakers of tonal languages may do better at learning instruments.24. When learning Chinese,a foreigner will find ________.A.he has a difficult time learning music at the same timeB.he has an easier time learning music at the same timeC.it is hard to master the tones required to speak and understandD.it is easy to use the brain to help him discover changes in pitch25. Why does Chinese learning have something to do with music training?A.Because there is the same difficulty in learning Chinese and music.B.Because skills to learn the two make use of the same parts of the brain.C.Because music training might help people with language study.D.Because people who do well in Chinese study do well in music.26. The underlined word “intoned”in the fourth paragraph can be replaced by the word “____”.A.created B.spelled C.seemed D.pronounced 27. What would be the best title for this passage?A.Mandarin Speakers Are Smarter than English SpeakersB.Skilled Ear for Music May Help Language StudyC.Pitch Plays a Central Role in Chinese LearningD.Schools Need to Develop Music ProgramsCAn idea that started in Seattle's public library has spread throughout America and beyond. The concept is simple: help to build a sense of community in a city by getting everyone to read the same book at the same time.In addition to encouraging reading as a pursuit (追求) to be enjoyed by all, the program allows strangers to communicate by discussing the book on the bus, as well as promoting reading as an experience to be shared in families and schools. The idea came from Seattle librarian Nancy Pearl who launched (发起)the "If All of Seattle Read the Same Book" project in 1998. Her original program used author visits, study guides and book discussion groups to bring people together with a book, but the idea has since expanded to many other American cities, and even to Hong Kong.In Chicago, the mayor(市长)appeared on television to announce the choice of To Kill a Mockingbird as the first book in the "One Book, One Chicago" program. As a result, reading clubs and neighbourhood groups sprang up around the city. Across the US, stories emerged of parents and children reading to each other at night and strangers chatting away on the bus about plot and character.The only problem arose in New York, where local readers could not decide on one book to represent the huge and diverse population. This may show that the idea works best in medium-sized cities or large towns, where a greater sense of unity(一致)can be achieved. Or it may show that New Yorkers rather missed the point, putting all their energy and passion into the choice of the book rather than discussion about a book itself.Ultimately as Nancy points out, the level of success is not measured by how many people read a book, but by how many people are enriched by the process or have enjoyed speaking to someone with whom they would not otherwise have shared a word.28. What is the purpose of the project launched by Nancy?A. To invite authors to guide readers.B. To encourage people to read and share.C. To involve people in community service.D. To promote the friendship between cities.29. Why was it difficult for New Yorkers to carry out the project?A. They had little interest in reading.B. They were too busy to read a book.C. They came from many different backgrounds.D. They lacked support from the local government.30. According to the passage, where would the project be more easily carried out?A. In large communities with little sense of unity.B. In large cities where libraries are far from home.C. In medium-sized cities with a diverse population.D. In large towns where agreement can be quickly reached.31. According to Nancy, the degree of students of the project is judged by ______.A. the careful selection of a proper bookB. the growing popularity of the writersC. the number of people who benefit from readingD. the number of books that each person readsDSkeptics are a strange lot. Some of them refuse to admit the serious threat of human activities to the environment, and they are tired of people who disagree with them. Those people, say skeptics, spread nothing but bad news about the envi ronment. The “eco-guilt” brought on by the discouraging news about our planet gives rise to the popularity of skeptics as people search for more comforting worldviews.Perhaps that explains why a new book by Bjorn Lomborg received so much popularity. That book, The Skeptic Environmentalist, declares that it measures the “real state of the world” as fine. Of course, another explanation is the deep pockets of some big businesses with special interests. Indeed, Mr. Lomborg’s views are similar to those of some Industry-funded organizations, which start huge activities through the media to confuse the public about issues like global warming. So it was strange to see Mr. Lomborg’s book go largely unchallenged in the media though his beliefs were contrary to most scientific opinions. One national newspaper in Canada ran a number of articles and reviews full of words of praise, even with the conclusion that “After Lomborg, the environmental movement will begin to die down.”Such one-sided views should have immediately been challenged. But only a different review appeared in Nature, a respected science magazine with specific readership. The review remarked that Mr. Lomborg’s “preference for unexamined materials is incredible(不可信的)”.A critical (批判的)eye is valuable, and the media should present information in such a way that could allow people to make informed decisions. Unfortunately, that is often inaccessible as blocked by the desire to be shocking or to defend some special interests. People might become half-blinded before a world partially exhibited by the media. That’s a shame, because matters concerning the health of the planet are far too important to be treated lightly.32. According to the passage, which of the following may be regarded as “skeptics”?A. People who agree on the popularity of “eco-guilt”.B. People who disbelieve the serious situation of our planet.C.
