BJeremiah Thoronka was born in the fighting of the Sierra Leone civil war and grew up in the gutter(贫民窟)on the suburbs of the capital Freetown,having to burn wood for lighting heating.Jeremiahheating.Jeremiah saw with his own eyes how,in addition to the smog making breathing problems common,his young contemporaries fell behind in their schoolwork because of a lack of decent lighting.Energy poverty is a major issue in Sierra Leone—with just 26%of the population having electricity.Inelectricity.In rural parts of the country,only 6%of people have electricity access,most of whom turn to solar lanterns and dry-cell batteries.As a result,it's led to the destruction of forests as people cut down trees for firewood,which leaves Sierra Le one highly sensitive to extreme events like flooding and landslides.Families reliance on firewood also leads to frequent house fires.These life-threatening disadvantages and hardships fuelled Jeremiah's passion for renew able energy and climate change advocacy.At 17 when studying at the African Leadership University in Rwanda,he launched a start-up called Optim Energy that transforms vibrations(震动)from vehicles and footfall on roads into an electric current.It is different from established renewable energy sources including wind or solar because it generates power without relying on changeable weather.Optim Energy ran a successful pilot program in Jeremiah's neighbourhoods,Makawo in the northern part of Sierra Leone and Kuntoluh east of Freetown.With just two devices,the startup provided free electricity to 150 households comprising around 500 citizens as well as15 schools where more than 9,000 students attend.Jeremiah is currently developing plans to expand into the healthcare field which needs power to cool medicines and create enough light for treating patients after dark.24.What affected the young fellows academic performance?A.The war.C.The poor lighting.B.The smog.D.The breathing problem.25.What can we learn about"energy poverty"from paragraph 2?A.It is caused by solar lanterns and dry-cell batteries.B.It has a worse impact on the city area.C.It brings about the destruction of forests.D.It increases the risk of forest fires.26.What is special about Optim Energy?A.It draws on vibrations to make electricityB.It upgrades the use of solar energy.C.It runs a pilot program throughout the city.D.It helps 9,000 students return to school.27.What message does the text want to convey?A.Electricity is the lifeblood of the city.B.Whoever is happy will make others happy too.C.Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all.D.We are all in the gutter,but some are making it better.CFor a century,Jordan Creek cut across downtown Springfield.Over the decades the stream regularly flooded into the city's commercial heart.Residents had been tired of the floods so they created concrete banks to cage the stream and in 1932 buried the waterway,hiding it in culverts(排水管)under city streets.It was man's attempt to control floodwater.That was the old way of thinking.For a while,that controlled the floods.But the roads and other hard surfaces prevented water from going into the ground and allowing more rainwater into the enclosed streams than they could handle.Eventually,the water won.The neighborhood flooded in 2000,2008 and2016.For two decades,the city discussed freeing the stream and allowing water to run over the floodplain.Finally,a project to uncover 1,100 feet of Jordan Creek and build three bridges is moving forward.The new way of thinking is to give the water some room,leave some areas for floods and just let nature be nature.Uncovering buried waterways to bring them back to life is a process known as“day lighting”.Coverings are removed and an attempt is made to restore the natural flow and the surrounding ecosystem.The primary goal of the project is flood control.But the work has a variety of benefits.Native plantings will help improve the water quality by filtering(过滤)rainwater.The stream will replace an unsightly landscape and become a“string of pearls(珍珠)”connecting parks and green areas in the city's "Quality of Place"initiative.The benefits go beyond that.Stream restoration is neighborhood restoration.The project may promote economic development and increase property values and tax revenue.While the projects can be expensive,they end costly maintenance.Returning to nature is cheaper than maintaining concrete culverts.28.What did Springfield citizens in the 1930s probably believe?A.Man can control nature.C.Business is the heart of a city.B.Life is prior to development.D.Residents should not live by a river29.What was one result of covering Jordan Creek?A.Three bridges were removed.B.Water went into the ground.C.Floods hit the neighborhood.D.Rainwater was well handled30.Which aspect of the project does paragraph 4 mainly discuss?A.Economic value. C.Flood management.B.Construction planning D.Environmental impact.31.Which can be a suitable title for the text?A.A Solution That Proves a ProblemB.Old Thinking Inspires New ChangesC.“Buried”Streams Turn into Urban CentersD.“Daylighting”Buried Waterways to Refresh CitiesDPhilosophers have a bad reputation for expressing themselves in a dry and boring way.The ideals for most philosophical writing are precision.clarity,and the sort of conceptual analysis that leaves no hair un-split.There is nothing wrong with clarity,precision,and the like —but this isn't the only way to dophilosophy.Outside academic ,abstract philosophical ideas are often expressed through literature,cinema,and song.There's nothing that grabs attention like a good story,and there are some great philosophical stories that delight and engage,rather than putting the reader to sleep.One of the great things about this is that,unlike formal philosophy,which tries to be very clear,stories don't wear their meanings on their sleeve —they require interpretation,and often express conflicting ideas for the reader to wrestle with.Consider what philosophers call the metaphysics(形而上学)of race —an area of philosophy that explorers the question of whether or not race is real.There are three main positions that you can take on these questions.You might think that a person's race is written in their genes(a position known as“biological realism”).Or you might think of race as socially real,like days of the week or currencies ("social constructionism").Finally,you might think that races are unreal —that they're more like leprechauns(一种魔法精灵)than they are like Thursdays or dollars(“anti-realism”).A great example of a story with social constructionist taking on race is George Schuyler's novel Black No More.In the book,a Black scientist named Crookman invents a procedure that makes Black people visually indistinguishable from Whites.Thousands of African Americans flock to Crookman's Black No More clinics and pay him their hard-earned cash to undergo the procedure.White racists can no longer distinguish those people who are "really"White from those who merely appear to be White.In a final episode,Crookman discovers that new Whites are actually a whiter shade of pale than those who were born that way,which kicks off a trend of sunbathing to darken one's skin-darkening it so as to look more White.Philosophically rich stories like this bring more technical works to life.They are stories to think with.32.What does the author think of philosophical stories?A.The meaning behind is very obvious.B.They am extremely precise and formal.C.They often cause conflicts among readers.D.They are engaging and inspire critical thinking.33.Which category might "Christmas"fall into according to paragraph 4?A.Social constructionism.C.Biological realism.B.Anti-realism.D.Literary realism.34.What is Black No More in paragraph 5 mainly about?A.Racial issues caused by skin colors.B.A society view on race and self-image:C.Black people accepted by the white society.D.The origin of sun bathing among white people.35.What is the best title of the text?A.Stories Made Easy C.Positions in PhilosophyB.Stories to Think withD.Nature of Philosophical Writing第二节(共5小题：每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)Do Lobsters Feel Pain?The traditional method for cooking a lobster(龙虾)—boiling it alive —raises the question of whether or not lobsters feel pain. 36 .Lobsters go bad very quickly after they die,and eating a dead lobster,increases the risk of illness and reduces the quality of its flavor.However,if lobsters are capable of feeling pain,the method and others,such as storing the live lobster on ice,raise moral questions for chefs and lobster eaters alike.37 Lobsters have a peripheral system like humans,but instead of a single brain,they possess nerve cluster(神经簇).Because of this difference,some researchers argue lobsters are too dissimilar to vertebrates(脊椎动物)to feel pain.Nonetheless,lobsters do satisfy all of the standard for a pain response.Lobsters guard their injuries,learn to avoid dangerous situations,respond to anesthetics,and are believed to possess some level of consciousness.So most scientists believe that injuring a lobster causes physical pain.38 ,so it is now becoming illegal to boil lobsters alive or keep them on ice.Currently,boiling lobsters alive is illegal in Switzerland,New Zealand,and the Italian city Reggio Emilia.The most humane tool for cooking a lobster is the CrustaStun.This device electrocutes a lobster,making it unconscious in less than half a second or killing it in 5 to 10 seconds. 39 .Unfortunately,the CrustaStun is too expensive for most restaurants and people to afford.Some restaurants place a lobster in a plastic bag and place it in the freezer for a couple of hours,during which time it loses consciousness and dies. 40 ,but it is probably the most humane option for killing a lobster before cooking and eating it.A.This solution is not idealB.And then,it can be cut apart or boiledC.Lobsters are popular food in many countriesD.There is growing evidence that lobsters may feel painE.Scientists disagree over whether or not lobsters feel painF.Many restaurants choose more humane methods to cook itG.This cooking way is used to improve humans' dining

He was holding down two jobs at the time — one with the city’s public works department, the other as a barber. Saturday was his busiest hair-cutting day, but he chose to donate his time and give free haircuts to unfortunate kids so they’d look neat on that first day of classes. But then he had a light bulb moment: “The kids should earn their free haircut by having to read a book to me,” Holmes said.The idea was so popular that he continued it the first Tuesday of every month for the next two years. Boys from five to ten years old would grab a favorite book, settle into the barber chair, and read aloud while Holmes was doing their hair. If they were puzzled over a word, Holmes was there to help. After the haircut, they’d review he book, from the characters and vocabulary to the themes — just like in school, only more fun. Holmes, who is married and has two sons, ages three and four, recognizes that not every parent has the time to read with their kids.Holmes admits he, too, benefits from the process. “There was this seven-year-old who struggled through his book, stuttering over words even though he didn’t have a stutter (口吃),” said Holmes. He had the boy take the book home and practice. When the child came back a few days later, “He read it with no problems. That inspires me.”Holmes and his family have recently moved to a Chicago suburb. When they get settled, he plans to take up his role as the Story-book Barber. “The way the world is today with guns and violence,” he says, “it’s a safe heaven for the kids, to come to the barbershop and read books.”4．What do we know about Holmes two years ago?A．He had only one job.B．He earned a lot as a barber.C．He offered free haircuts to the poor kids.D．He was the organizer of Back to School Bash.5．The example in Paragrap3 mainly proves that _______.A．Holmes is very strict with the kidsB．Holmes also learns a lot from the kidsC．being a fluent reader needs plenty of practiceD．many kids have trouble in reading a storybook6．What can we learn from the last Paragraph?A．Holmes is dissatisfied with the world today.B．Holmes’ barbershop will have some changes.C．Holmes’ barbershop has won great popularity.D．Holmes will continue to be a storybook barber.7．What is the best title for the text?A．The Storybook BarberB．Back to School BashC．Reading Counts A LotD．Care About the KidsAny schoolchild knows that a whale breathes through its blowhole. Fewer know that a blowhole is a nostril (鼻孔) slightly changed by evolution into a form more useful for a mammal that spends its life at sea. And only a dedicated expert would know that while toothed whales, such as sperm whales, have one hole, baleen (鲸须) whales, such as humpback and Rice whales, have two.Even among the baleen whales, the placing of those nostrils differs. In some species they are close together. In others, they are much further apart. In a paper published in Biology Letters Conor Ryan, a marine biologist at the Scottish Association for Marine Science, suggests why that might be. Having two nostrils, he argues, helps whales smell in stereo (立体空间).Many types of baleen whales eat tiny animals known as zooplankton (浮游动物), whichthey catch by filtering (过滤) them from seawater using the sheets of fibrous baleen that have replaced teeth in their mouths. But to eat something you first have to find it. Toothed whales do not hunt by scent. In fact, the olfactory bulb—the part of the brain that processes smell—is absent in such creatures. But baleen whales still have olfactory bulbs, which suggests smell remains important. And scent can indeed give zooplankton away. Zooplankton like to eat other tiny creatures called phytoplankton (浮游植物). When these are under attack, they release a special gas called dimethyl sulphide, which in turn attracts baleen whales.Most animals have stereoscopic senses. Having two eyes, for instance, allows an animal to compare the images from each in order to perceive depth. Having two ears lets them locate the direction from which a sound is coming. Dr Ryan theorized that paired blowholes might bring baleen whales the same sorts of benefits.The farther apart the sensory organs are, the more information can be extracted by the animal that bears them. The researchers used drones to photograph the nostrils of 143 whales belonging to 14 different species. Sure enough, baleen whales that often eat zooplankton, such as the North Atlantic right whale, have nostrils that are farther apart than do those, such as humpback whales, that eat zooplankton occasionally. Besides allowing them to breathe, it seems that some whales use their blowholes to determine in which direction dinner lies.8．What do we know about whales’ nostrils according to the first two paragraphs?A．They are adapted ones.B．They are developed merely for smell.C．They are not easy to detect.D．They are fixed universally in numbers. 9．What plays a role when baleen whales hunt zooplankton?A．The teeth that baleen whales have.B．The smell that phytoplankton send.C．The sound waves that zooplankton create.D．The chemical signals that zooplankton give off.10．How is the concept of stereoscopic senses explained in paragraph 4?A．By quoting a theory.B．By using examples.C．By making contrast.D．By making inferences.11．What is the position of nostrils related to according to the last paragraph?A．The sense of smell.B．The possibility to attract food.C．The ability to locate food.D．The ability to communicate.In a world where everyone has their own opinions on just about everything, it’s common for people to be critical of each other’s mistakes and imperfections without noticing their own. Some individuals mistakenly think it’s their responsibility to make you into a better person. They do this by first pointing out your shortcomings directly and then providing advice on how you can improve.So what is the possible solution to criticism? If you are the one forcing others to feel ashamed of themselves, please stop. Make a conscious decision rather than highlight the negative aspect of a person’s performance or attitudes. You are more likely to offer helpful suggestions from the beginning. If you are on the receiving end of criticism, the “OK” response is a perfect solution. When someone comments negatively on a task you are doing or a personality issue of yours, a natural response is to defend and attack. However, this approach is rarely effective as it puts both parties on the defensive. Instead, simply reply with “OK”. This brief one-word response acknowledges the other person’s comment without agreeing with it or feeling necessary to engage in a debate about it.It’s crucial to stay connected to what the other person is talking about, and listen without getting upset, to be an objective observer. In fact, there is much that one can learn from a negative review. You can ask yourself: Did I make a mistake? Could I have done better? Did I give 100% of myself to the task at hand? If so, how can I improve myself? As for chronic criticizers: It is important to set strict boundary with them. Remove yourself from their presence when necessary.In any case, one can learn to be “OK” with criticism and not allow it to negatively impact your life or relationship with the other party.12．What might the author think of people who like to judge others?A．Self-centered.B．Responsible.C．Talkative.D．Warm-hearted. 13．What does a person mean by saying “OK” according to Paragraph 3?A．He thinks the advice is helpful.B．He completely agrees with the comments.C．He wants to avoid unnecessary arguments.D．He defends himself with the response. 14．What is the recommended action for dealing with chronic criticizers?A．Embrace their views.B．Criticize them in return.C．Avoid interaction if needed.D．Engage with them regularly.15．What is the most suitable title for the text?A．The Art of Giving Criticism B．Mastering Self-Defense against Criticism C．Dealing with Personal Relationships Flexibly D．The Path to Self-Improvement through CriticismLessons that are Learned from the OlympicsThe Olympic Games are enjoyed by everyone. Here are some tips about how to bring the deeper meaning of the Olympics into your life.◆Excellence comes with hard work and practice.Learning about the training schedules of Olympic athletes reminds us that success doesn’t come easily. Repetition is the servant (仆人) of success. Set long-term goals as well as realistic ones. 16 And remember the most important competitor you have is actually you.◆ 17There are hundreds of events at the Olympics, each standing for a specific activity that athletes have chosen to follow. You can recognize the creativity and excitement and form strong feelings about it, which will help you to achieve your dreams.◆Expect to fail sometimes.Every athlete who has made it into Olympic competition has suffered injury and disappointment along the way, but that has not been the end of their dream. 18 You can treat your setbacks (挫折) as a teaching tool.◆Enjoy your success.Observe the Olympic athletes when they stand on the winners’ platform with their medals, listening to their national anthems (国歌). Their pride is obvious. Enjoy the feelings of power that come from your achievement. 19◆Enjoy other cultures.With its symbol of the five-ring Olympic flag, the Olympics celebrate the unity of the games while honoring individual nationality. 20A．You deserve it.B．Have confidence in yourselves.C．Work hard for your personal best.D．Find your strong feelings and develop it.E．Enough practice will make you successful.F．Athletes show respect to those from other countries.G．They know that they can learn more from failure than success.二、完形填空When my sister Diane began playing the violin, she was seven.

内蒙古赤峰二中2024-2025学年高二上学期第一次月考英语试题
内蒙古赤峰二中2024-2025学年高二上学期第一次月考英语试题一、阅读理解Stargazing Festivals in 2023With light pollution everywhere, national parks across the country have become dark-sky havens (港湾). Over the years, they are hosting events like stargazing festivals to get travelers excited about astronomy.Bryce Canyon National Park — June 14-17Situated in southern Utah, Bryce Canyon, the 35,835-acre park, is an ideal place to stay up late. This year, its annual astronomy festival includes guided stargazing sessions, lectures, star stories, family-friendly activities, and even a performance by some musicians in the northern Arizona-based Dark Sky Quartet.Shenandoah National Park — August 11-13Conveniently located within a day’s drive from two-thirds of Americans, the nearly 200,000-acre park will have a festival to provide an easy way to dip into astronomy. Ranger talks, public stargazing sessions, lectures and activities for kids will be hosted. Past events also covered topics ranging from space weather to nocturnal creatures.Great Basin National Park — September 14-16As one of the least crowded national parks, Great Basin National Park hosts annual fall astronomy festival with guest speakers, observatory tours, and a photography workshop. During the festival’s unique “Art in the Dark” program, participants will get to paint in low-light conditions and experiment with how their eyes perceive colors.Joshua Tree National Park — October 13-14Joshua Tree National Park, the “nearest convenient place to go stargazing” for the 18 million people living in LA, hosts a night sky festival every fall. As luck would have it, this year’s dates overlap with a “ring of fire” solar eclipse. From Joshua Tree, the moon will appear to block between 70 and 80 percent of the sun.1．What is the purpose of Stargazing Festivals?A．To provide a platform to observe stars.B．To raise public interest in astronomy.C．To collect money for more observatories.D．To advocate actions against light pollution.2．Where can you experience working in low-light conditions?A．Great Basin National Park.B．Shenandoah National Park.C．Bryce Canyon National Park.D．Joshua Tree National Park.3．What might be a bonus if you attend Joshua Tree National Park festival this year?A．A solar eclipse.B．A stargazing tour.C．A music performance.D．An observatory tour.Before McElroy moved into one EngAGE community, she had never imagined her life would be like this. Although in the golden years of retirement (退休), she teaches arts, recently she has opened up an art exhibition, and is planning a flight to Paris to find inspiration for her next creative project.Her lifestyle in many ways has been made possible by the non- profit organization EngAGE, which has revitalized (使重焕活力) the aging process by providing diverse free on- site programs in its senior communities, including novel writing, performing plays, storytelling for radio, and art shows. It helps seniors remain active, giving them the control to age the way they want to age.The idea for EngAGE developed when founder Tim Carpenter was working in the healthcare and aging industry, trying to change a broken system. Yet he did not see the change he desired. When he met developer John Huskey, who was building good-looking senior communities, the two partnered up. “We started throwing spaghetti against the wall, and some of it stuck. And we continue to do it that way and try almost everything,” said Carpenter.Ninety-five percent of the population EngAGE serves is low-income. Seniors are surrounded by quality programs, learning opportunities, and state-of-the-art facilities. In Carpenter’s view, retirement is like college, a new stage when you are trying to figure out what to do next. It can be a starting point, with the spare time to try something different or revisit an old passion. Those seniors can build on their knowledge of a subject or start from zero. It is only the beginning of something, not the end.McElroy concluded, “It is a place where members are provided with endless opportunities. My son once asked, ‘How long do you plan on living here? ’ and I joked, ‘They’re going to have to carry me out of here.’”4．What can seniors do in EngAGE communities?A．Receive quality medical treatments.B．Learn the basics of novel writing.C．Enjoy an active life with youngsters.D．Reunite with their former colleagues. 5．What does the underlined phrase “throwing spaghetti against the wall” mean?A．Changing the aging process.B．Tasting some overseas food.C．Decorating the communities.D．Testing out various methods.6．Which statement might Carpenter agree with?A．Seventy is the new twenty.B．A good start is half the battle.C．Never teach old dogs new tricks.D．Passion serves as a driving force. 7．Which might be the best tine for the text?A．Carpenter’s Ambitious Programs B．EngAGE: A Place of PossibilitiesC．McEtroy: I’m Not an “Old” Artist D．Community Is the Source of StrengthImagine accessing traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) services with just a tap on your smartphone. What once required a hospital visit — often leading to long waits and considerable inconveniences, especially for the elderly — is now available at your fingertips.The innovative mini-program “Wang She Wen Shan” (Tongue Diagnosis and Dietary Guidance) is transforming TCM consultations. Users can now receive a detailed health report in under two minutes simply by taking a quick snapshot of their tongue. More than that, this AI-powered tool also provides personalized dietary and wellness recommendations.According to the mini-program’s developers, this transformation has been made possible through the seamless integration of the traditional TCM tongue diagnosis method with cutting-edge AI image recognition technology. The program has been trained on over 20,000 clinical tongue images, enabling it to provide accurate and convenient health assessments.Since July 2023, Guangzhou has been at the forefront of piloting TCM services with AI assistance. A research team from the South China University of Technology developed an AI-powered TCM Constitution Identification Device based on machine learning models. Trainedby TCM doctors from local hospitals, this device has “learned” to identify users’ constitution types through facial and tongue images and provide personalized health recommendations. By October 2023, this smart device had been adopted in 11 communities across Guangzhou, serving over 12,000 residents. In addition, other AI-driven innovations, such as prescription systems, pulse signal acquisition systems, acupuncture robots, and massage robots, are making their way into public use, bringing a high-tech touch to traditional medicine.Despite the progress made, the integration of AI into TCM is still in its early stages. One of the primary hurdles is the lack of theoretical standardization within TCM. For the same illness, different schools and experts may recommend varying treatment plans.Another challenge lies in the integration of medical and engineering technologies. Although computer applications in TCM date back to the 1980s, early systems relied on pre-programmed standards that often fell short due to the complex nature of patient symptoms. The unpredictability and variability of these symptoms pose significant difficulties for AI’s deep learning processes.Anyway, there is every reason to believe that the integration of AI into TCM will profoundly revolutionize healthcare by making TCM more accessible and efficient. It holds significant promise for underserved areas with limited medical resources. Nevertheless, as the journey is only beginning, it is crucial to acknowledge its current limitations in clinical settings. While AI offers substantial potential for TCM, accurate diagnosis still relies heavily on the expertise of physicians. AI is intended to complement — not replace — human doctors. 8．What do we know about “Wang She Wen Shan”?A．It provides invariable dietary and wellness suggestions for users.B．It requires users to take a photo of their tongue for consultation.C．It has been trained on abundant tongue images of medical staff.D．It fails to function properly without facial recognition technology.9．What’s the main idea of the fourth paragraph?A．A glimpse of the development of AI-driven TCM innovations.B．An introduction to an AI-powered device developed by doctors.C．An insight into the potential use of AI-driven devices in TCM.D．A comparison between different AI-powered TCM innovations10．Who might benefit most from the mini-program?A．Folks in places with few experienced doctors.B．Patients with symptoms rarely seen or reported.C．Physicians with great diagnostic capabilities.D．Senior citizens with difficulty using smart phones.11．What can be a suitable title for the text?A．AI: The Future of TCM B．Doctors at Your FingertipsC．Modernized TCM with AI D．Integration of AI into MedicineThe concepts of delayed satisfaction, self-control, and self-regulation are often used interchangeably and inconsistently. The ability to delay an impulse (冲动) for an immediate reward to receive a more favorable reward at a later time is the standard definition of delayed satisfaction.Studies show that delayed satisfaction is one of the most effective personal characteristics of successful people. People who learn how to manage their need to be satisfied in the moment develop more in their careers, relationships, health, and finances than people who give in to it.Being able to delay satisfaction isn’t the easiest skill to acquire. It involves feeling dissatisfied, which is why it seems impossible for people who haven’t learned to control their impulses. Choosing to have something now might feel good, but making the effort to have discipline and manage your impulses can result in bigger or better rewards in the future. Over time, delayed satisfaction will improve your self-control and ultimately help you achieve your long-term goals faster.The Seinfeld Strategy is one of several helpful self-satisfaction techniques you can use to put off satisfaction for longer periods of time. Every day that you delay satisfaction and avoid temptation (诱惑) , you cross it off your calendar. After a few days, this creates a chain. This strategy works well for people who enjoy gamification (游戏化). If you find it satisfying to keep the chain going, you’re less likely to give in to temptation.Do you find yourself going back to your temptations without thinking about it?If this is the case, you can practice mindfulness to become more aware of what you do. When you notice yourself doing something out of habit, stop for a moment. Ask yourself why you’re doing what you’re doing. Take some time to analyze how you’re feeling. Pay attention to the details. Take amoment of mindulness to interrupt your autopilot every time this happens. The more you practice this, the more you’ll break the habit of going for instant satisfaction.12．What is delayed satisfaction?A．Making quick decisions.B．Giving in to desires instantly.C．Immediate rewards for impulses.D．Postponing rewards for better outcomes. 13．Why is delayed satisfaction hard to attain?A．It can lead to missed opportunities B．It’s bad for achieving long-term goals.C．It’s impossible to resist the inner needs D．It’s a comfort to possess something at once. 14．What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about?A．The complexity of the Seinfeld Strategy B．An example of self-discipline techniques.C．A method of practicing delayed satisfaction.D．The effectiveness of keeping the chain going.15．What does the author suggest people do for returning temptations?A．Ignore useless details.B．Get rid of old bad habits.C．Concentrate on true inner wants.D．Cancel temptations from the calendar.How to Design a Small GardenEven if you don’t have a large area in your yard, you can still make a beautiful garden that maximizes the space you have by following tips.16 . Look for a place in your yard where you can see your garden from a window ora spot in your yard so that you’re able to enjoy it. Make sure you can walk into your garden with ease to make it easier to take care of your plants. 17 .Plan the layout for your garden by drawing the outline on the paper. Start by sketching longer rectangles（矩形）for your garden beds so they’re to scale for the actual size you want them.18 . Be sure to leave an 18-inch space between garden beds so you can easily walk between them and care for your plants.Arrange your design so there are focal points. Aim to have several aspects of your garden design unique so they stand out from the rest of your plants. 19 . Take into consideration where you want people to focus or have their attention drawn to when they look at your garden, and plan your design around those spots. Focal points help your garden feel more inviting andmake it more visually pleasing.Put similar plants across from one another to create rhythm and symmetry(对称). Rather than put different plants in each of your garden beds, choose to use the same plant or ones that have similar textures or colors so they’re across from one another. 20 .A．And avoid any inconvenience caused by difficult accessB．Try to position smaller plants in between larger onesC．Pick a place where you can easily get to your gardenD．You may still be able to measure the length of the rectanglesE．Then divide the rectangles into smaller sections for different plantsF．This could be a statue or a fountain placed in the center or on either sideG．That way, when you look at your garden, it will look inviting and make the area feel more balanced二、完形填空Heman Bekele, a 14-year-old from Virginia, stood out as the winner of the 2023 Young Scientist Challenge. Among the ten finalists he 21 the title of “America’s Top Young Scientist” with his 22 creation known as the Skin Cancer Treating Soap (SCTS), a bar of soap created for the very first time at a low cost to treat melanoma, the most common kind of skin cancer.Rather than a cure, Bekele’s brilliant idea 23 the development of a soap that aims to help the patient’s cells stay active while fighting melanoma. He always has endless passion for biology and technology, and the Young Scientist Challenge just 24 him with the perfect platform to display his ideas.

重庆市合川瑞山中学2024-2025学年高二上学期第一次月考 英语试题(含解析)
重庆市合川瑞山中学2024-2025学年高二上学期第一次月考英语试题一、阅读理解（本大题共5小题）Holiday in FloridaClimateThe Sunshine State attracts 60 million visitors each year. Winter months see average temperatures of 22℃ (72℉) with occasional chilly nights, while summers reach a steamy 32℃(90℉). Florida averages less than half an inch of rain per month. Generally the best months for a Florida holiday are April through June, October and November.Best Areas to StayCocoa Beach is about 60 miles east of Orlando with endless sandy beaches. St. Petersburg, another popular resort area, is 110 miles southwest of Orlando. There is a huge choice of accommodation here, from timeshare apartments to luxury holiday villas (度假别墅). Further South, Miami is popular with vacationers. With world-class shopping, peaceful beaches and nearness to the Everglades, there is always something to do here. A laid-back lifestyle mean that resorts such as Destin are busy all year round.TransportMost holiday-makers arrive in Florida by air. There are major international airports at Orlando, Miami, Fort Lauderdale and Tampa. Unless you are staying at a holiday villa actually on one of the amusement parks, you will need to hire a car to make the most of your Florida holiday. Outside the major cities the roads are wide and fairly quiet, so driving is not generally a problem and there is always plenty of free parking everywhere.Festivals and EventsOrange Bowl Football Game in early JanuaryThe International Film Festival and the Boat Show in Miami in FebruaryCarnival at Mardi Gras in Miami in MarchFashion week in MayFireworks and beach parties on July 4thSeafood Festival in October1．Where would you probably stay to enjoy varied accommodation?A．Cocoa Beach.

Her passion to help others was awakened when, from the age of nine, she accompanied her Tunisian father to his birthplace in the east of the country during holidays. There she organized homework clubs and activities for children.Toumi witnessed first-hand the destructive effect of desertification (沙漠化). “Within10 years rich farmers became worse off, and in 10 years from now they will be poor. I wanted to stop the Sahara Desert in its tracks.” A decrease in averagerainfall and an increase in the severity of droughts have led to an estimated 75 percent of Tunisia’s agricultural lands being threatened by desertification.Toumi recognized that farming practices needed to change. She is confident that small land areas can bring large returns if farmers are able to adapt by planting sustainable (可持续的) crops, using new technologies for water treatment and focusing on natural products and fertilizers (肥料) rather than chemicals.In 2012, Toumi continued her dream to fight the desert. She moved to Tunisia, and set up a programme named Acacias for All to put her sustainable farming philosophy into action. “I want to show young people in rural areas that they can create opportunities where they are. Nobody is better able to understand the impact of desertification and climate change than somebody who is living with no access to water.”By September2016, more than 130, 000 acacia trees had been planted on 20 pilot farms, with farmers recording a 60 percent survival rate. Toumi estimates that some 3 million acacia trees are needed to protect Tunisia’s farmland. She expects to plant l million trees by 2028. In the next couple of years, Toumi hopes to extend the programme to Algeria and Morocco.4．How did Toumi’s holiday trips to Tunisia influence her?A．They fired her enthusiasm for helping others. B．They helped her better understand her father.C．They made her decide to leave the country. D．They destroyed her dream of being a teacher.5．What is the main cause of the de sertification of Tunisia’s farmland?A．Cold weather. B．Soil pollution. C．Low rainfall.D．Forest damage.6．Why did Toumi set up Acacias for All in Tunisia?A．To create job opportunities for young people. B．To promote the protection of their farmland.C．To persuade the farmers not to use fertilizers. D．To help the children obtain a basic education.7．Which of the following can be the best title to the text?A．Saving Water in Africa B．Fighting Poverty in North AfricaC．Holding back the Sahara D．Planting Trees in TunisiaFor years, David James, who studies insects at Washington State University, had wanted to examine the migration (迁徙) patterns of western monarch butterflies (黑脉金斑蝶).The route the butterflies travel has been hardly known because the populat ions are too small to follow.For every 200 monarchs tagged (……给加上标签) by a researcher, only one is usually recovered at the end of its trip, James says, and finding even 200 in the wild to tag is unlikely.Knowing the route is vital to conservation efforts, but James had no way to figure it out—until he got a phone call from Washington State Penitentiary in Walla Walla.The prison was looking for new activities to improve the mental health of those serving long⁃term sentences.So James began working with prisoners to raisemonarchs through the whole process of their transformation.The adult insects were then tagged and released from the prison.Over five years, nearly 10,000 monarchs flew from the facility.Elsewhere in Washington, researchers Oregon and Idaho released another few thousands.The tags included e⁃mail addresses, and soon after the first butterflies took off, James started receiving messages from people who had spotted them.The butterflies, the reports confirmed, wintered in coastal California.Twelve of them landed at Lighthouse Field State Beach in Santa Cruz.Several more headed to Bolinas and Morro Bay.The work helps researchers identify ideal places to plant milkweed and other vegetation that are important to the life cycle of western monarch butt erflies.It also brought out the gentler side of some of the prisoners.“They were very worried that they were going to harm the butterflies,” James says.Watching the monarchs change their form also touched the men.“This butterfly changed,” James recalls pri soners telling him, “and maybe we can too.”8．What was hard for James to do in his study?A．Gain financial support.B．Hire qualified workers.C．Build a new laboratory.D．Find enough monarchs.9．Why are the butterflies tagged before being released?A．To guarantee their safety.B．To enable them to fly longer distances.C．To track their travel routes.D．To distinguish them from other species.10．What makes the prisoners feel that they can change?A．The patience the butterflies showed.B．The hardship the butterflies underwent.C．The transformation of the butterflies.D．The devotion of James to the butterflies.11．What is the last paragraph mainly about?A．The impact of the research.B．The findings of James' study.C．The release of the prisoners.D．The life cycle of the butterflies.A butterfly-shaped island in the central Aegean hopes to become Greece’s first carbon-free tourist destination.Under a deal with the government, Volkswagen, a carmaker, has donated several new electric vehicles for use by Astypalea’s public services; it will sell others at cost price to its 1,200 year-round residents. In return, the government has offered more financial assistance for islanders to buy electric cars and will build a solar and wind-fuelled power plant to replace polluting generators.Unlike other nearby islands, Astypalea is not connected to Greece’s electricity providers. With only 3,000 rooms for visitors in small hotels or flats, tourism is still low-key. Many residents make a living the old-fashioned way: raising goats, keeping bees and fishing. The island wasselected for Volkswagen’s experiment after Nikos Komineas,the go-ahead mayor, contacted the transport ministry for help in finding an electric bus to try out on its rough roads.Most islanders sound keen on the project. Mr Komineas expects the number of private cars on Astypalea to fall by a third over the next five years. Its residents, he says, will get around on electric minibuses, which will be free,linked to a mobile-phone app and available round the clock.Some observers smell greenwashing in the project. A bid for a solar park that would generate half the island’s electricity within three years will not get under way before the tourist season ends. A single wind-fuelled engine will be set up only in 2026, assuming the licensing process goes smoothly. That is not normally the case in the Aegean, where islanders worry that tourists will go elsewhere if the view is spoiled by an engine 200 meters high. And even then, the solar and wind-fulled power unit is planned to cover only about 80% of summer demand. But it is a start.12．Why has Volkswagen signed the deal with the government?A．To control car prices. B．To help generate electricity.C．To promote public transport. D．To build a zero-carbon island. 13．What makes Astypalea different from other nearby islands?A．It has an aggressive leader. B．It is out of the national electricity network.C．It is a crowded tourist destination. D．It has various goats, bees and fishes. 14．The underlined word “green washing” in Paragraph 4 probably means ________.A．an island with few tourists B．a process with little supportC．an engine with no polluting fuel D．a strategy with no meaningful changes 15．What does the author think of the project?A．It’s pioneering.B．It’s practical.C．It’s destructive.D．It’s costly.We have stepped into an era of excess information, with each “red spot” shown on the screen and every ring-tone sounded in our ears reminding us of the highlights that can’t be missed. This tired world is flooded with the fragmented pieces of news. 16 Here are Five ways to stop feeling overwhelmed by the news.Limit the time spent reading news17 One way to reduce the impact of the non-stop news headline cycle is to use screen-time trackers, available on IOS and Android, to limit the time you spend reading or watching the news on your mobile.Turn off push notificationsIf the urge is too strong to resist, then at least turn off your push notifications from news apps. 18 A 2016 study found that push notif ications “exerted a negative influence on cognitive function” through disruption to daily tasks.19Academic Hans Rosling refers to “Factfulness” as a means of keeping world news in perspective. If we focus on the bigger picture, such as the percentage of people living in extreme poverty halving in the past 20 years, it may be easier to remain optimistic. Rosling calls it “understanding as a source of mental peace”.Prioritise trusted news sources Eric Carlsson, a professor in media and communication studies, says: “There has been a crisis of knowledge and truth owing to fake news, much of which is spread on the unregulated platforms of social media.”20No news before bedResearch has shown that screen use before bed resets our internal clock and disrupts sleep. So reading the news onscreen before bed can make your mornings even more anxious and tiring. A．Read the good news.B．But is this really our fault?C．Then how to cope with the anxiety?D．Make sure you always stick to the fact.E．“Headline anxiety” is a growing problem.F．Find your news instead,through reliable publications.G．This can stop you from being upset with breaking events.二、完形填空（本大题共1小题）A trip to a bank's ATM machine is usually a common affair.
