When 19-year old Alice Dickinson found out her father had cancer, her 1 was a little different than you might expect. To honor her father, who she also describes as her best friend, she decided to start a book drive called For Love, 2 books for kids with cancer.“It was very much an overnight idea,” she explains. “I posted a message on an app asking my neighbors for used book donations. I was only expecting a few here and there, but the response was truly 3 and it was just the push I needed to co-exist with my sadness rather than letting it 4 me.”“It was absolutely heartbreaking to watch my dad 5 cancer and see him lose a little bit of himself each day, but the book drive allowed me to 6 a newfound sense of purpose mixed with an even greater sense ofsympathy and desire to help others. I wanted to help 7 . They’ve always held a soft spot in my heart.”Using the 8 she earns from working at her parents’ bread shop, Alice has bought many books out of her own pocket. In addition, she receives donations through her online wishlist.

The care team aimed to reduce long-term joint damage,and do their best to ensure Msituni has a long,healthy life.With the information from the detailed3D imaging of Msituni’s legs,the care team determined that specialized orthotic braces(矫形器)should be able to fix the position of Msituni’s legs.However,her size made finding supports for her legs very challenging.The solution came in partnership with Hanger Clinic,a nationwide provider of orthotic braces.While the company focuses on care for humans,the company’s experts asked Safari Park wildlife care staff for advice.Together,they made a pair of orthotic braces for the calf. They wanted to enable Msituni to lie down,stand,walk,and run like a health giraffe.Finally,the treatments were a success.After about two months,with Msituni’s legs correctly positioned,caregivers were able to remove her leg braces.Today,Msituni can be found playing with the rest of giraffes in the Safari Park.四、选词填空阅读下列短文，根据短文内容，从框中选择合适的单词或词组，用其正确形式填空，并将答案书写在答题卡相应位置。

北京东城区2023-2024学年高二上学期期中英语试题
北京东城区2023-2024学年高二上学期期中英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、完形填空Thanksgiving Day was near. One day, the first-grade teacher, Miss White, let her students draw a picture of something for which they were thankful.Most students would 1 the holiday with turkey and other traditional foods of the season. These, the teacher thought, would be the subjects of most of her students’ art. Miss White was 2 , but Douglas made a different kind of picture. When he was asked to draw a picture of something for which he was 3 , he drew a hand. Nothing else. Just an empty hand. His picture brought 4 to his classmates. Whose hand could it be? One child guessed it was the hand of a farmer, because farmers raised turkeys. Another suggested it was a police officer’s hand, because the police 5 and care for people.While the children were 6 with each other, Miss White stood at Douglas’ 7 , bent down and asked him whose hand it was. The little boy looked up and whispered, “It’s yours. Miss White.” What Douglas had said 8 Miss White of the time she had taken his hand and walked with him here and there. How often had she said, “Take my 9 , Douglas. We’ll go outside.” Or, “Let me show you how to hold your pencil.”The story speaks of more than thankfulness. It says something about teachers teaching, parents parenting, friends showing friendship, and how much Miss White’s hand 10 to Douglas. He might not always say thanks, but he’ll remember the hand that Miss White reaches out.1．A．celebrate B．spend C．decorate D．recommend 2．A．clear B．right C．curious D．smart 3．A．helpful B．careful C．pitiful D．grateful 4．A．conclusion B．imagination C．trouble D．fear 5．A．protected B．caught C．trusted D．encouraged 6．A．discussing B．quarrelling C．communicating D．greeting 7．A．position B．car C．desk D．bed 8．A．detected B．informed C．reminded D．warned 9．A．hand B．advice C．coal D．book 10．A．makes B．discovers C．means D．offers二、用单词的适当形式完成短文语法填空Personally, I 11 (benefit) quite a lot from technological advances. I found my career 12 an AI designer through a social media network. My health monitor, which I wear all the time, has also helped me get into the best shape of my life. Of course, when new technology 13 (change) the way we live, it can be a scary prospect. Nevertheless. I will always look on the positive side of change and accept it rather than resist it.语法填空Here are three reasons 14 social media is a suitable news source. Firstly, it’s very accessible for young people, as they are already using social media apps, so the news will pop up on their feeds as they scroll (滚屏). Secondly, stories 15 (present) in a user-friendly way, whether it’s a short, snappy Instagram post or a quick video on TikTok. At last, social media highlights things 16 (go) on around the world that aren’t in mainstream media.语法填空Coffee is a good drink for boosting the central nervous system of our body 17 helps us in keeping awake for long intervals of time 18 (make) us more alert (警觉). Some 19 (experiment) have also proved that consuming a cup of coffee daily can reduce the risk of death. People who take over two or three cups of coffee daily have a low risk of death 20 (compare) to those who don’t at all have coffee. Coffee also aids in weight reduction.三、阅读理解Beaver Creek is a great place to experience the beauty of the snow, with programs for everyone—from children, teens, and women-only lessons to small groups and private-guided experiences.First Track, from Beaver Creek Reserve, lets you be the first on the mountain, with an adventure that begins at 7:30 a.m. when you are met by ski professionals and taken on a private, guided tour—before the mountain is open to the public. Once you have skied, you are treated to a delicious breakfast at Allie’s Cabin.If you are looking for a higher level of comfort there is the White Carpet Club, from Beaver Creek Reserve. Located in the heart of Beaver Creek Village, it maximizes your time on the mountain by streamlining your access to it. At the club, there are private lockers and boot dryers, along with preferred self-parking and a slope-side ski waiter. A receptionist can assist with lift tickets, pass purchases, dinner reservations, and activity recommendations.Of course, there is more to explore during the winter in Beaver Creek as well. There is ice skating, snowshoeing, shopping, and spas—you name it, Beaver Creek has it. It is the perfect place to take advantage of the snow and be in the moment, in the mountains, together.The extraordinary is a rare combination of one-of-a-kind experiences designed to be shared with service that exceeds expectation. The extraordinary brings you closer to one another and offers a special place to belong together. Belong in The Extraordinary.21．First Track can offer visitors ________.A．an early visit B．an ice skating showC．a tasty lunch D．a free skiing lesson22．What is the White Carpet Club special for?A．Skillful trainers.B．Quiet living experience.C．Thoughtful service.D．Good views over the mountain. 23．The passage is written to ________.A．attract visitors B．compare different programsC．appeal for sports D．introduce training coursesYou can’t walk into the office without Rihanna’s voice singing “work work work work work work” in your head. And that one line from Lady Gaga’s “Bad Romance” still makes you want to scream. These are commonly known as earworm songs—those sticky tunes that continue to play in your head. A recent study finds that more than 90% of adults report hearing earworm songs on a weekly basis.Fortunately, most people report earworm songs as pleasant. But others find them annoying or even maddening. “Some people are troubled by them to the point that it disturbs life,” says Elizabeth Hellmuth Margulis, a professor at the University of Arkansas who has studied earworm songs.Margulis says earworm songs tend to have some predictable characteristics. For one thing, they tend to small parts of a song—not the whole track. And “the songs you’ve heard recently also have the most possibility to get stuck in your memory,” she says.But sometimes something strange and unpredictable can also start a track paying in your head. “Once I was at the doctor’s office and saw a poster of a man who I thought looked like Gaston—a character from Beauty and the Beast,” Margulis recalls. A couple minutes passed, and she realized she couldn’t get “Be Our Guest”, the song in the movie, out of her head, even though she hadn’t thought of the tune in years. In that instance, she was able to identify her earworm’s trigger: the Gaston-looking man in the poster. “But the connections can be really unclear,” she says.Margulis points out that, in all of human history, recorded music is a very new phenomenon. She says some have inferred that earworm songs are also new—the unintended consequence of being able to hear the same song played everywhere in the same way over and over again. So far, the convincing explanation for why human beings experience earworm songs remains a mystery. But there are some well-established ways to cast off the earworm songs.“Finding a mentally demanding task and putting your mind on it usually shifts attention away from internal music. People tend to get earworms when performing tasks that don’t require their full attention—stuff like doing the dishes,” Margulis says.Chewing gum can also help. When a song is stuck in our heads, it’s almost like we’resinging along with it. If you make your mouth do something else—chewing gum, eating a meal or talking with a friend—that can kick out the earworm.You could also face your enemy. By listening to the full track that includes the passage stuck in your head, you may find “closure” and relief.24．Which of the following is most likely to be an earworm song?A．A song made up of simple words.B．A song heard frequently these days.C．A song sung by a most famous singer.D．A song learned during one’s childhood.25．What does the underlined word “trigger” in Paragraph 4 mean?A．Type.B．Tune.C．Cause.D．Characteristic.26．We can infer that earworm songs may ________.A．result from modern technology B．be experienced over mealsC．help regain lost memories D．hurt one’s hearing27．What is mainly talked about in the last three paragraphs?A．Why we hear earworm songs.B．Where to find earworm songs.C．When we hear earworm songs.D．How to get over earworm songs.Automation (自动化) was a hot topic. Nearly everyone agreed that people would be working less once computers and other kinds of automatic machinery became widespread. For optimists, this was a promise of liberation: At last humanity would be freed from constant toil, and we could all devote our days to more refined pursuits. But others saw a threat: Millions of people would be thrown out of work, and desperate masses would roam the streets. Looking back from 50 years hence, the controversy over automation seems a quaint and curious episode. The dispute was never resolved.A．J. Hayes, a leader (and no relation to me), wrote in 1964: Automation is not just a new kind of mechanization but a revolutionary force capable of overturning our social order. Whereas mechanization made workers more efficient — and thus more valuable — automation threatens to make them superfluous (过剩的) — and thus without value. The opinions I have cited here represent extreme positions, and there were also many milder views. But I think it’s fair to say that most early students of automation, including both criticsand enthusiasts, believed the new technology would lead us into a world where people worked much less.As for economic consequences, worries about unemployment have certainly not gone away — not with job losses in the current recession approaching 2 million workers in our country alone. But recent job losses are commonly attributed to causes other than automation, such as competition from overseas or a roller-coaster financial system. In any case, the vision of a world where machines do all the work and people stand idly by has simply not come to pass.The spread of automation outside of the factory has altered its social and economic impact in some curious ways. In many cases, the net effect of automation is not that machines are doing work that people used to do. Instead we’ve dispensed with the people who used to be paid to run the machines, and we’ve learned to run them ourselves. These trends contradict almost all the expectations of early writers on automation, both optimists and pessimists. So far, automation has neither liberated us from the need to work nor deprived (剥夺) us of the opportunity to work. Instead, we’re working more than ever.What about trades closer to my own vital interests? Will science be automated? Technology already has a central role in many areas of research; for example, genome sequences could not be read by traditional lab-bench methods. Replacing the scientist will presumably be a little harder than replacing the lab technician, but when a machine exhibits enough curiosity and tenacity, I think we’ll just have to welcome it as a companion in zealous research. And if the scientist is elbowed aside by an automaton, then surely the science writer can’t hold out either.

Others would like to wait until after exercising to refuel their bodies, called a fasted workout.32 Many experts say there’s no easy answer because it depends on the person.If you want energy and strength for an ideal workout, you need fuel. A fed workout will provide your body with power. Eating before exercise may help you sustain longer sessions and lift heavier weights. 33 Muscle preservation is also an essential component of strengthening your body. Nitrogen (氮) is critical for processing protein that builds healthy muscles. People tend to lose less nitrogen during a fed workout than a fasted one.Many fitness enthusiasts are not on board with this idea. They report feeling sick and inactive while trying to exercise after eating. With a fasted workout, you may not get the usual indigestion. Experts for fasted workouts further claim that eating afterwards makes your body use its fat reserves for energy, meaning you will burn more fat. 34 It can cause a sudden drop in your blood glucose (葡萄糖) levels, and you may feel dizzy. You may even be more likely to overeat.35 Not all foods are created equal. For example, if you choose a fed workout, you’ll probably lose a lot of water during an intense training, so you should consider drinking some beforehand. With a fasted workout, it would help if you had some nutrition right after your session is complete. Drink some water. Then, have a light meal or nutritional snack.Deciding when to eat for an ideal workout is a personal choice. Both fasted workouts and fed activities have their benefits and shortcomings. 36A．However, a fasted workout might not work for you.B．How your body will respond is based on your workout intensity.C．These benefits can result in burning more fat and shaping a slimmer body.D．To eat or not to eat, that is the question on many fitness enthusiasts’ minds.E．Think thoroughly and discuss with your fitness instructor before taking a choice.F．Knowing what to eat for an ideal workout is just as important as knowing when to eat.G．A person doing a 30-minute session a day may not have a problem with fasted workouts.五、阅读表达阅读下面短文，根据短文内容完成对该问题的回答。
