In many ways, a diary and a blog are very 37 ; But what make bolgging different from writing in a(n) 38 diary?The biggest difference is that a blog is much more 39 than a diary. Usually，a teenager treats his diary like a book full of 40 that he does not want to 41 with others.It’s interesting that someone who writes in a blog 42 a diary will probably write nearly the same information.I have a little sister, and sometimes I go online to read her 43 . She writes about things like waking up early for swimming practice and not studying enough for her chemistry I was her age, I wrote about the same thing, but 45 in my dairy. Then, after I had finished writing, I would hide my diary in a secret place because I was 46 that my sister might read it.The biggest 47 with blogging is that anyone can read what you write. If I was angry with a friend during high school and wrote something 48 about him in my diary, he would never know. 49 , if my sister ever wrote something bad about a friend, that friend might 50 her blog and get angry.There are also 51 to blogging, of course. If I was feeling sad one day and wrote in mydiary, ”Nobody cares about me”. because no one would 52 about it. However, if my sister wrote the same sentence in her blog, her best friend would quickly 53 and tell her how much they 54 her. Blog help people 55 in contact with their friend and know what the people around them are doing.36. A. the same B. interesting C. difficult D. daily37. A. simple B. special C. similar D. different38.

The purpose is to find the habits that may affect your sleep.Then:a．Don’t drink coffee in the six hours before going to bed.b．Stop smoking and drinking at bedtime.c．Don’t sleep during the day.d．Go to bed at the same time every night. Set your alarm clock for the same time every morning and get up at that time, whether or not you sleep well.e．Use the bedroom only for sleep.

Get up and read or watch TV until you are sleepy, then return to bed.If you continue to have trouble sleeping, ask your doctor for help or go to a sleep – disorders center. 56．According to the passage, there is probably if you are not able to fall asleep or stay asleep.A．a bad way of sleeping B．a disorder in sleepC．a physical reason D．a problem caused by the brain57．If you have trouble sleeping, you should try to .A．ask a doctor for help or go to a sleep – disorders centerB．put down the time you do things every dayC．do more physical exerciseD．find out the cause first58．According to the passage, which of the following would be the best way to help you sleep well?A．Taking some sleeping pills every day.

Thank goodness!"School was over and I was tired. I sat at the front of the school bus.Janie, the driver, always tries to break the uncomfortable atmosphere by talking. I try to listen politely, but usually I’m too busy thinking about my day. On this day, however, her talk was worth listening to."My father’s ill," she said to no one in particular. I could see worry in her eyes. I had never seen her like this before. She always meets students with a smile.With a sudden chance of interest, I asked, "What’s wrong with him?"With her eyes wet and her voice unusual, she answered, "Heart trouble. " Her eyes lowered as she continued, "I’ve already lost my mum, so I don’t think I can stand losing him." I couldn’t answer. My heart ached for her.I sat on the seat thinking of the great pain my own mother was thrown into when her father died.I saw how hard it was, and still is, for her. I wouldn’t want anyone to go through that.Suddenly I realized Janie wasn’t only a bus driver, which was just her job. She had a whole world of family and cares too.I shouldn’t have been so selfish. I paid no attention to Janie because she was a bus driver. I had judged her by her job and brushed her off as unimportant.I shouldn’t have been so selfish and self-centered. Understanding people is an art.60. When the students get on the school bus, Janie usually__________.A. listens to musicB. talks about her own worryC. sits on her seat without wordsD. meets them with a smile61. After she learned Janie’s story, the writer thought of__________.A. her father’s deathB. her mother’s painC. the ache of her own heartD. the pain of Janie’s parents62. The writer felt herself selfish because she had__________.A. thought of Janie as nothing but a driverB. made only a few friends in the schoolC. hardly thought of herselfD. never listened to others63. In this passage the writer tries to tell us that__________.A. losing parents makes people sad and helplessB. understanding the people around us takes timeC. we should learn to understand the people around usD. it’s not right to judge the people around us by their clothesCPerhaps a parent’s most important contribution toward raising a trustful child is to develop a relationship founded on trust. A child of any age will feel proud and grown-up if parents frequently show their trust. In court a defendant(被告) is innocent until proved guilty. But in the family, a teenager “defendant” is too often assumed guilty.Even when the child is caught in a complete lie, this should not be the end of trust. A parent can tell a child that a single lie is forgivable. Yet it should be clear that if lies continue, the child, like the boy who cried wolf, will suffer loss of trust.When my wife and I discovered that our son Tom, then 13, had lied about throwing a party while we were away, we grounded him for a month. We also told Tom that we could no longer trust him, and we could not allow him to stay alone overnight again. This loss of freedom was an important lesson; he learned how hard it is to live with people when they don’t trust him. As a result, now more than three years later we can again trust Tom to stay alone overnight.Parents must always remember there is no easy answer to this universal problem of lying. We can set a good example, allow for privacy, monitor friendship, develop trust and punish wrong doing, but still we discover our child has lied to us. Finally that’s why there is a need for trust on both sides of a parent-child relationship. Lying destroys closeness and friendship. For that reason, parents should always try to give a child the feeling that they can be trusted with the truth. Parents may start with a child’s trust, but as the child grows older, parents must earn it.64．When the writer and his wife discovered that their son had lied, they _________.A．took him from all his freedom B．decided that they could never trust him againC．forbade him to stay alone overnight for more than three yearsD．arranged for him to live with people who do not trust him for more than three years65．We can infer from the passage that very often ________.A．parents don’t trust their child as they shouldB．defendants are usually proved not guilty in courtC．parents have too much trust in their child D．some children are founded guilty in court 66．According to the passage, the writer believes that _____________.A．parents shouldn’t punish their children even if they lieB．it is not easy to deal with the problem of lying as parentsC．there are many effective ways to prevent children from lyingD．a child will stop telling lies as he grows up67．What does the underlined word “ground” mean in the passage?A．To teach someone the basic things they should know in order to be able to do something.B．To stop a child going out with their friends as a punishment for behaving badly.C．To put someone on the ground and beat him.D．To ask someone to stay on the ground and not to move.DA typical Chinese Internet user is a young male who prefers instant messaging to e-mail, favors news, music and games sites and seldom makes online purchases（购物）. According to a study, about two-thirds of survey participants use the Internet for news —often entertainment-related —or for online games. About half download music and movies.They also tend to prefer instant messaging to e-mail, and they are depending on the Internet more frequently than before to communicate with others who have the same professions, hobbies and political interests. Online purchases still remain unpopular in China. Three-quarters of users surveyed have never bought anything over the Internet, and only 10 percent make purchases even once a month. Among those who do buy online, most pay for entertainment while others buy phone cards, or computer hardware or software.“Many people don’t trust the quality of goods bought online,” Guo said Wednesday. “If they buy it in a store and don’t like it, they can easily bring it back.”The survey was done in five major cities: Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Chengdu and Changsha. Results do not necessarily project countrywide because Internet use in rural areas is lower than in cities. Guo describes the typical netizen in the five cities surveyed as young, male, richer and more highly educated. Males make up two-thirds of the Internet community, and more than 80 percent of users are under 24. Among people ages 25 to 29, 60 percent to 80 percent go online.China has more than 100 million people online, second in the world to the United States.68. A typical Chinese Internet user may be the one who _________.A. likes to send e-mailsB. likes to buy goods onlineC. likes to pay for entertainmentD. likes the games sites 69. Online purchases still remain unpopular in China mainly because _________.A. it is more difficult for sales returnsB. people haven’t computersC. it is not convenient to purchase on lineD. all goods bought online are of low quality70. Which of the following words fails to describe the typical netizens in the five cities?A. well educatedB. richerC. femaleD. young第四部分：任务型阅读(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)请认真阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰当的单词。

It seemed as one problem was solved a new one arose.Her father, a cook, took her to the kitchen. He filled three pots with water and placed each on a high fire. Soon the pots came to a boil. In one he placed carrots, in the second he placed eggs, and in the last he placed ground coffee beans. He let them sit and boil, without saying a word.The daughter sucked her teeth and impatiently waited, wondering what he was doing. In about twenty minutes he turned off the burners. He fished the carrots out and placed them in a bowl. He pulled the eggs out and placed them in a bowl. Then he ladled the coffee out and placed it in a mug. Turning to her, he asked, “Darling, what do you see?”“Carrots, eggs, and coffee,” she replied.He brought her closer and asked her to feel the carrots. She did and noted that they were soft. He then asked her to take an egg and break it. After pulling off the shell, she observed the hard-boiled egg. Finally, he asked her to sip the coffee. She smiled, as she tasted its rich aroma.“What does it mean, father?” she humbly asked.He explained that each of them had faced the same adversity, boiling water, but each reacted differently. The carrot went in strong, hard, and unrelenting; but after being subjected to the boiling water, it became softened and weak. The egg had been fragile; its thin outer shell had protected its liquid interior; but after sitting through the boiling water, its inside became hardened.The ground coffee beans were unique, however; after they were in the boiling water, they had changed the water.“Which are you?” he asked his daughter.4．Why did the daughter complain to her father?A．Because she found life was extremely cruel to her.B．Because she found that she was at a loss in her life.C．Because she was tired of fighting and struggling with others.D．Because she doubted if she’d make it to addressing the boredom in life.5．What did the father take his daughter to the kitchen for?A．To boil three things for her.B．To explain to her what life is.C．To give her some inspiration.D．To carry out an experiment with her. 6．What can be inferred from the text?A．The father seemed to be in favor of the egg most.B．The carrot was likely to be the daughter’s favourite.C．The three things all stood the test of the boiling water.D．The ground coffee beans chose to affect their surroundings.7．What’s the best title for the text?A．A vivid lesson B．A best choiceC．A tough challenge D．A rough rideWhen driving, Clara-Marina Martinez makes a note of any unusual behaviour she sees on the road. She then feeds these into machine-learning algorithms (算法), a form of AI, which she is helping develop for Porsche Engineering.Those algorithms are intended to produce a system reliable enough for a car to drive itself. Such a fully autonomous car, known in the industry as Level 5, should be able to complete anentire journey without any intervention (介入) from the driver, and deal with all situations on the road. But this is proving hard to achieve, and many attempts to do so are being abandoned. Last year, for instance, Uber sold off its unit developing self-driving cars.Autonomous vehicles are said to be not just convenient but potentially safer. However, just as people take time to learn how to drive safely, so do machines. And machines are not quick learners. The RAND Corporation calculates that to develop a system 20% safer than a human driver, 100self-driving cars would have to operate 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.Carmakers such as Porsche therefore speed up the development process using simulators (模拟器). These teach software about dangers rarely encountered in reality. Dr Martinez and her colleagues employ “game engines” to do this. These are used to create virtual worlds through which the software can drive. Objects in these virtual worlds are assigned their physical characteristics (ie, buildings are hard, people are soft) so that the sensors in vehicles respond in the appropriate way. Once the software has been trained, it is tested in real autonomous vehicles by re-creating those situations on a test track.How quickly all this will translate into reality remains to be seen. Both regulators and customers will need to overcome the doubt that a software driver really can be safer than a human being.From Porsche’s point of view, though, there is another question. Given that much of the reason owning a sports car is for owners to show off their driving skills, just how big a market will there be for a version where software takes those bragging (炫耀的) rights away?8．Why does Clara-Marina Martinez note the unusual behaviour on the road?A．To market Porsche cars.B．To improve an AI technology.C．To learn to be a responsible driver.D．To enjoy riding in a self-driving car.9．The problem with self-driving cars is that .A．they learn as slowly as human beingsB．they operate for a very short period of timeC．they have to be monitored by human driversD．they need a long time to reach a certain safety level10．What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 4 refer to?A．Employing simulators on a test track.B．Speeding the development of process.C．Figuring out the physical road dangers.D．Separating the real world from the virtual world.11．What worries Porsche according to the last paragraph?A．The reliability of car software.B．The future of the sports car market.C．The driving skills of human beings.D．The quality of self-driving cars in the future.Studies have shown the mere exposure effect, also referred to as the familiarity principle, inspires our decisions. It is a helpful psychological mechanism that helps us sustain our energy and focus our attention on other things. Getting used to new things takes effort and it can be tiring. So unless we have a terrible experience, we are likely to buy from companies we’ve got used to. That is why companies spend so much money on advertising and marketing and why insurance (保险) companies openly charge existing customers more than new ones.It’s not the case that we only desire things we already know. Some studies suggest when invited to share our preferences, we sometimes see less familiar options as more desirable. But when acting on that preference, we fall back to what we know. This might explain why sometimes the things we want and the things we do don’t quite match up. We might even return to companies that treated us poorly in the past or stay in bad relationships.It’s easy to paint the familiarity principle as an enemy or something to battle as if it is something that holds us back from living our dreams. But this attitude might be overwhelming because it tends to encourage us toward big-picture thinking. Where we imagine that change requires a quite dramatic swing that we don’t feel ready for. Some articles suggest the solution to familiarity frustration (沮丧) is complete exposure to novelty. While this can appear effective in the short term, we may only end up replacing one problem with another. It also risks overwhelm and burnout.So what if we can work with the familiarity principle instead? Familiarity is something wecan learn to play with and enjoy. It is a setting for creativity and a pathway to expansion. We can broaden the zone of familiarity bit by bit. If we think of familiarity as something that can expand, we can consider changing the conditions in and around our lives to make more space for our preferences to take root and grow gently. From here, we will start to make decisions, drawing from an ever-deepening pool of valuable options.12．What allows insurance companies to charge old customers more?A．The advertising cost.B．The improved service.C．The familiarity principle.D．The principle of the market.13．We can learn from paragraph 2 that .A．Our preferences affect our decisionsB．Familiarity tends to generate disrespectC．The familiarity principle is a double-edged swordD．There can be a mismatch between desires and actions14．What is the author’s attitude towards the solution in some articles?A．Disapproving.B．Tolerant.C．Objective.D．Reserved. 15．Which of the following is the best title for the text?A．Step Out of Your Familiarity ZoneB．Spare a Thought for Your PreferenceC．Gently Expand Your Familiarity ZoneD．Give Priority to the Mere Exposure EffectEssential CreativityIn a recent survey in America, 62% of people said that creativity was more important to success in the workplace than they had expected it to be when they were in school.16 It is of course possible to scan people’s brains and see which parts are firing when an idea is created, but rather more romantically it can be thought of as something that cannot be identified. Creativity is what comes to you when you least expect it. You cannot demand creativity from your mind, nor can you demand that you are creative in a particular way.One misconception about creativity is that it is reserved for a few special people. This is not true. 17 Another misconception is that creativity is all about the arts but this simply isn’ttrue. 18It is incredibly important that schools do not prevent creativity. 19 Students should be taught to ask questions and investigate when things do not make sense. They need to learn to view mistakes as opportunities for learning rather than something that was unsuccessful. But now it is worrying that many schools are less concerned with nurturing creativity. However, without creativity, we are indistinguishable from the masses. 20 Meanwhile, we can also channel it to face the challenges of the future.A．We can use it to set ourselves apart.B．It’s difficult to define what creativity is.C．Everyone has the capacity to be creative.D．We can employ creativity to deal with the world.E．Rather, they should work to expand, grow, and exercise it.F．It’s hard to work out where exactly creativity comes from.G．Creativity extends to maths and science in just the way it does to music and literature.二、完形填空Atomic (原子的) shapes are so simple that they can’t be broken down any further. Mathematicians are trying to 21 artificial intelligence (AI) to build a “periodic table” (周期表) of these shapes.Tom Coates at Imperial College London and his colleagues are working to classify (分类) atomic shapes 22 as Fano varieties, which are so simple that they can’t be broken down into smaller 23 . Just as chemists arranged elements in the periodic table by their atomic weight and group to 24 new insights, the researchers hope that organizing these atomic shapes by their various 25 will help in understanding them.The team has assigned each atomic shape a sequence of numbers 26 its features such as the number of holes it has or the 27 to which it twists around itself. This acts as a bar code (条形码) to 28 it. Coates and his colleagues have now created an AI that can predict certain properties of these shapes from their bar code numbers alone, with an 29 of 98 percent.The team member Alexander Kasprzyk, who works at the University of Nottingham, UK, says that the AI has let the team organize atomic shapes in a way that begins to 30 the periodic table, 31 when you read from left to right, or up and down, there seem to be organized patterns in the geometry (几何) of the shapes.The team hopes to 32 the model to the point where missing spaces in its periodic table could point to the existence of unknown shapes, which could 33 benefit further study.Graham Niblo at the University of Southampton, UK, stresses that humans will still need to understand the results provided by the AI and creates proofs of these ideas. “AI has 34 got unbelievable abilities. But in the same way that telescopes (望远镜) don’t put astronomers out of work, AI doesn’t put mathematicians out of work,” he says. “It just gives us new 35 that allows us to explore parts of the mathematical landscape that are out of reach.”21．A．go about B．turn to C．break with D．throw in 22．A．rewarded B．encountered C．entitled D．diverged 23．A．components B．perspectives C．variations D．transformations 24．A．enhance B．estimate C．reveal D．guarantee 25．A．predictions B．properties C．arrangements D．allowances 26．A．trapped in B．compared to C．bent on D．based on 27．A．scale B．extent C．width D．dimension 28．A．identify B．grasp C．imply D．cast 29．A．concept B．impression C．essence D．accuracy 30．A．differ B．follow C．multiple D．claim31．A．as though B．even if C．so that D．now that 32．A．display B．expose C．distinguish D．improve 33．A．in turn B．in contrast C．by turns D．in return 34．A．critically B．definitely C．strikingly D．comprehensively 35．A．setting B．booming C．backing D．calling三、语法填空阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

Firstly, what confuses me most is the proper use of tenses. I often mix up tenses, leading to low scores on my writings, What’s more, I s truggle to find appropriate wordsto express myself accurately. Despite my massive efforts to expand my vocabulary, words still fail me when I need to write. In addition, I find it difficult to make my writing well-structured and coherent, which frustrates me a lot.I’d appreciate it if you could give me some practical suggestions on my problems. Looking forward to your reply.Yours,Li Hua第二节(满分25分)Before I knew it, I had only one day left for the project. In a panic I quickly glued together whatever materials I could find, my hands shaking with the weight of each hasty decision. The finished result looked miserable. However, several of my classmates, including Nate, had created amazingly detailed buildings. They used materials like clay, wood and so on and their constructions were highly praised by Mr. Smith. When I saw their models, I felt even more embarrassed about mine. It was apparent that they had put a lot more time into the assignment than I had.That taught me a great lesson. I learned from that day the importance of deciding on my priorities and budgeting my time. From then on, I tackled things a lot earlier instead of putting things off until tomorrow. As a result, not only did I finish my tasks ontime, but I also felt better because I didn’t have to panic at the last minute. At the end of the semester, my work was chosen by Mr. Smith on another occasion. Seeing my change, my parents and my sister were so proud of me. It dawned on me that getting things done on time instead of being a procrastinator really counted.听力录音稿Text 1M: Do you have any idea what’s wrong with my houseplant It gets plenty of sun and enough plant food...W: Are you watering it too often Remember this plant comes from the desert where there’s hardly any rain.M: Ah..Maybe that’s the problem!Text 2M: It seems to be human nature to pursue what we don’t have. Tall people want to be shorter, and short people want to be taller... W: I know. For example, when I was younger, my cousin always wanted my golden hair, and I wanted dark hair like hers.Text 3W: Hi, are there any tickets left for tonight’s concertM: Sorry, they’re sold out. But I can put you on the waiting list, in case there are any cancellations tonight. Would you like me to do thatW: Oh, yes, please. Let me give you my phone number.Text 4M: Oh, this is so annoying! We’ve been driving around for ages, and I haven’t seen a single space.W: There’s a street party going on in town today. That’s probably why it’s busy. Let’s try the supermarket... You can park there for free as long as you buy something.Text 5W: So, tell me a little bit about the character you played in your new film Last Weekend.M: Well, Jake is a sort of the ‘everyman’ character. He doesn’t have any special talents. In fact, he lives a pretty boring life, until his old friend Maggie returns to town...Text 6M: Can I borrow your phone for a second Mine is dead, and I can’t find my charger.W: Sure.M: Thanks. Hey, what’s wrong with your screen It’s all dark and the colors look strange.W: Oh! I’ve been using an app called “Sunset” to help me sleep at night.M: Really HowW: Well, studies show that too much blue light from screens can make sleeping difficult. So, in the evenings, the app puts a red filter (滤光器) over the screen to cancel it out.M: Oh, interesting. Does it helpW: Yeah, I think so! I also listen to white noise, which helps me fall asleep too.Text 7M: Can we do something about the temperature in here I have so many emails to deal with today, but my hands are so cold that I can hardly type my report!W: I know. I’ve been struggling too. But the heat probably won’t be turned on until the end of the month.M: Why notW: It’s a part of the company’s plans to save energy.M: Well, I can understand that. But how are we supposed to work in these conditionsW: I guess we always have the choice to work from home.M: True. But before my youngest daughter starts school, it’s just too difficult for me to do that. I wouldn’t be able to focus.W: Then I think we should talk to the boss about what can be done, otherwise people will start getting ill.Text 8W: Well, here we are! I can’t wait to get inside and see what’s on offer!M: I heard this year’s Mini Fair is going to be even bigger and better than last year’s. It won’t disappoint us.W: Oh really I had to go to a boring work event at that time, so I couldn’t come last year.M: Yes! I got so many things for my model train set.W: Like whatM: Well, the coolest things I got were some tiny little trees. They looked so real.W: Wow!M: I’m hoping t he guy who sells them is here again this year.W: I hope so! Now that I’m satisfied with the inside part of my dolls’ house, I want to focus on creating the garden. So, it would be great to get some little plants and trees. What about youM: I want some little model cars and people to add to my train station scene. But I need to find a toilet first.W: Over there, by the restaurant hall.M: Great. Meet you in five minutes, by the ticket desk.Text 9W: Hi, are you here for the tourM: Yes, I’m Michael Green. Are you the head girlW: That’s right. I’m Jayne Palmer. You look a bit older than the kids I usually show around the school!M: Ha-ha! Yeah, I’ll be sixteen next month.W: My birthday is in October, too!M: ReallyW: Yeah! So, why are you changing schoolsM: Well, my mom got a new job in this area, so we’re moving here. I’ve heard good things about this place.W: Well, as you can see, we have some great facilities... Here are the basketball courts. Then just behind them, you’ll see the football field and the running track. And that building over there is our swimming pool.M: Wow! There wasn’t room for anything like this at my previous school. I was on the swimming team, but we had to travel to use the city pool for our practices.W: Well, we’ve certainly got plenty of space. The arts teaching here is also excellent. We have a music studio and our own theater. M: Amazing!W: So, where would you like to go firstM: Well, I’m quite interested to see the science facilities. I’m hoping for a career in medicine.W: Okay, great! Well, the laboratories have all been updatedrecently, so we’ve got some really good equipment. Follow me. Text 10On my recent business trip to Shanghai, I met up with a local friend who took me out for a very interesting evening meal. At the Community AI Canteen, everything is done by robots. When you walk in there, you place your order on a screen. Using robotic arms, the intelligent cooking system then cooks your food before packing it up... It even adjusts the temperature, depending on whether you want to eat it straight away or take it home with you! To pay, you place your food on a smart cash desk, which immediately calculates (计算) the cost. There’s even a 24-hour noodle machine just outside, which offers hot and fresh food around the clock. The canteen offers a huge amount of choices and the dishes taste great. It is really fun to get “a taste of the future”. However, I’m not sure I would like all restaurants to be run by robots. I can see the benefits for busy families or office workers needing a quick lunch, but what about lonely older people who would miss the human touch I do think we will see more places like this in the future, though. At best, a human waiter can serve around 100 people in a day. The AI system can serve double that figure, making it good for business.荆州中学2024-2025学年高二上学期9月月考英语试题命题人：审题人：（全卷满分150分考试时间120分钟）第一部分听力(共两节，满分30分)第一节(共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分)听下面5段对话。
