With all the noise, we lifted off. I could see Earth disappearing. As we ascended (上升), I was at once aware of pressure. The force of gravity pulled at me. There was an instrument that told us how many g’s (重力加速度的倍数) we were experiencing. At two g’s, I tried to raise my arm, and I could barely do so. At thre e g’s, I felt my face being pushed down into my seat. I thought, “Will I pass out? How many g’s can my ninety-year-old body deal with?” Suddenly, no g’s. Weightlessness. We were floating.We got out of our safety belt and began to float around. And I got to the window as quickly as possible to see what was out there.I looked down, and I could see the hole that our spaceship had left in the atmosphere. I continued my self-guided tour and turned my head to face the other direction, staring into space. I saw a cold, dark, black emptiness. It was unlike any blackness you can see or feel on Earth. My excitement disappeared, and I felt really down. I turned back toward the light of home. I could see the curvature (曲度) of the Earth, the white of the clouds and the blue of the sky. It was Mother Earth.The contrast between the coldness of space and the warm nurturing of Earth below filled me with great sadness. In space, I had the strongest feeling ever that Earth is the only home we have. But we were doing many things that threatened our survival on Earth. I know we should devote ourselves to our planet and love all around us.4. How did the author think of gradual changes in g’s?A．He found he could raise arms easily.B．He felt his face was pressed against the safety belt.C．He thought he would pass out because he was too old.D．He believed he could deal with the gravity for he was strong.5.

What can we infer from the author’s trip to space?A．We should live in harmony with aliens. B．We should value the earth and protect it.C．We should try to move to the other planets. D．We should consider escaping from the earth.The U.S. Food and Drug Administration(FDA) has approved a new class of hearing aid devices, which do not require a medical exam. That means Americans will be able to buy hearing aids later this year without seeing a doctor or receiving a medical examination.The devices are designed for adults with mild to moderate hearing problems. The FDA estimates that the hearing aids could help nearly 30 million adults in the United States, but only about one-fifth of people with hearing problems use the devices currently.“Today’s action by the FDA represents a significant milestone in making hearing aids more cost-effective and accessible,” Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra, told reporters on Tuesday. The FDA first proposed the rule change for hearing aids last year and the new rules will take effect in the middle of October. The move follows years of pressure from medical experts and others to make the devices less costly and easier to get.However, cost is still a barrier right now. Americans can pay more than $5,000 for hearing aids, which is for the device itself and fitting services. Private insurance coverage is also limited for the devices. And government insurance for older people, known as Medicare, does not pay for them. Medicare only pays for hearing tests.“The requirement to see a specialist was not only a burden and an annoyance for many consumers but also it actually created a competitive barrier to entry,” said Brian Deese, a White Hous e economic adviser. Deese added that the government estimates that Americans could save as much as $2,800 for a set of hearing aids if they want to buy them.But FDA officials noted that the savings will depend on when producers launch products and how mu ch they cost. “It’s very hard to predict exactly what we’ll see and when,” said Dr. Jeffrey Shuren, the FDA’s medical device chief. Shuren added officials expected to see increased competition from new producers and new products from existing hearing aid makers.8. Who probably use the new hearing aid devices?A．The people who cannot afford medical fee.B．The 20 percent of people who can pay for them.C．The people who needn’t be examined by doctors.D．The adults whose hearing problems are not serious.9. What might the rule change bring?A．Hearing tests for free. B．More pressure from medical experts.C．Lower cost of the hearing devices. D．More private insurance coverage.10. What may Deese agree with?A．Seeing a specialist was unaccessible.B．Seeing a specialist was a troublesome experience.C．The government will save much medical expense.D．Americans will pay more money for medical care.11. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A．When the cost will be reduced is uncertain. B．Existing hearing aid makers can benefit most.C．Officials will decide the price of the hearing aids. D．New producers will succeed in the competition.A lot of glass today made from sand and sodium carbonate(碳酸钠) can be reused or melted down and recycled into new items, but it doesn’t break down in the environment and will sit in landfills for thousands of years. A team of Chinese scientists aimed to deal with this environmental concern by developing an eco-conscious alternative.In a study published recently in the journal Science Advances, a team at the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ Institute of Process Engineering describe how they engineered biodegradable glass made from amino acids(氨基酸). That glass would have a smaller impact on the environment and can break down in a few weeks or in several months.In a test, glass beads(玻璃珠) made out of amino acids were placed under the skin of mice, and the breakdown of the bead and the skin healing process were observed for 30 days. A diagram from the study shows how the mice’s b odies broke down the beads. In that month, the glass implant degraded(降解) beneath the skin, the wound site healed, and fur grew back. “Throughout the experimental period, no mice showed any pain-related behavior that may have been caused by the glass impla ntation, and none of them experienced obvious weight loss,” the researchers wrote in their paper.Although amino acids do degrade over time in the environment, this biodegradable glass is not as durable as traditional glass, because amino acids can break down quickly in heat. In order to overcome this barrier, the researchers chemically modified the amino acids using the heating-cooling procedure applied in glass making. This is when materials for the glass are heated to become soft and then rapidly cooled so as to make the glass tougher.“It’s important to point out that this biodegradable glass is currently in the lab stage, and far from large-scale commercialization,” emphasized Yan Xuehai, a professor involved in the study, in a press release.12. What did the researchers study during the experiment?A．The mice’s skin healing process.B．The breakdown of the glass beads.C．The medical value of the new glass. D．The glass degradation with less injury tothe mice.13. How do the researchers improve the durability of amino acid glass?A．Adding more amino acids. B．Heating the glass and rapidly cooling it.C．Using special chemical substances. D．Changing the producing process of glass.14. What does the underlined word “modified” in Paragraph 4 mean?A．Transformed. B．Melted. C．Enlarged. D．Produced.15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A．A New Kind of Perfect Glass B．Amino Acids Make Glass TougherC．Large-scale Commercial Glass Products D．Environment-Friendly and BiodegradableGlassIt’s very common these days for people to have a gym plan. Whatever the drive behind it, it is impossible for people to take some sort of regular exercise each week.But if you’ve never done it before, what’s the best way to go about it? Well, man y people make use of a PT—that’s a personal trainer. This might be because they’re wet behind the ears or maybe they just don’t want to design their own workout plan. A PT will create a proper plan for you based on your aims. 16 And, better still, they w ill teach you how to move in a way that won’t weaken you.17 Each hourly session can be expensive because you have to pay both the PT and membership of the gym, too. If you are short of cash then regular sessions might be out of your budget.So what’s left? 18 It’s relatively easy to do if you have the know-how. But before you do, here are some basic pointers.First, keep your fitness goal in mind. Are you looking to slim down, bulk up(健壮), or increase your abilities? Whatever it is, make sure the things you choose to do are in pursuit of that goal. Next, do your research. These days, social media is chock-full of fitness videos and advice. Watch as many of these as possible and be a little critical of them. Finally, keep your feet on the ground. 19 It takes at least three months to see any realistic body changes. And don’t exercise too much—never work in pain—a good workout is difficult and challenging, but never painful. 20If nothing else, focus on calisthenics(健美操)—these are the basic body movements which everyone can do anywhere, even at home.That year I was nineteen and studying chemistry at college. My family thought education was the ________ to success. I agreed. However, I felt dull in chemistry class. One day, my professor asked, “Why are you here when you have little ________ in chemistry?” I tried to explain by blaming pressure from my ________. But apparently he knew it was just a(n) ________ excuse. He said, “Your success can only be measured by yourself, but not by your parents. There is no secret to success, no examination you have to ________, but passion is very important. To be successful, you must follow your ________. Whether you are passionate about fixing cars or exploring the world, you must be passionate about your goal and ________ a path to realize it. Then you will achieve success and find ________.”At nineteen, the advice was hard for me to ________, but I knew he was correct. His words________ me I should consider “I think” rather than “my parents think”. I made a selfexamination and found my passion was ________. I had a gift for playing the piano but I ________ it.There was only one way to ________ whether I could be a successful musician, so I took my professor’s advice and ________ to the university’s music school.I’m now fifty years old, and live ________. When I watched the various awards I received on the walls in my office, a contented smile appeared on my face.21.A．key B．pattern C．factor D．process22.A．intelligence B．difficulty C．interest D．time23.A．friends B．parents C．teachers D．companions 24.A．identical B．reasonable C．convincing D．weak25.A．pass B．monitor C．evaluate D．arrange26.A．optimism B．determination C．emotion D．passion27.A．clean B．set C．repair D．cross28.A．happiness B．problems C．regrets D．personality29.A．adapt B．turn down C．absorb D．put forward 30.A．warned B．commanded C．advised D．reminded31.A．music B．chemistry C．physics D．subject32.A．emphasized B．ignored C．valued D．avoided33.A．wonder B．discuss C．prove D．doubt34.A．admitted B．switched C．headed D．returned35.A．poorly B．cautiously C．bitterly D．happily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。

四川省遂宁市、巴中市、雅安市和广安等市2023-2024学年高二上学期期末考试英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解Below are some fun holidays. Which do you like best?Hug Your Cat DayIt falls on June 4. On this unofficial holiday, go and give your cat a big hug. Although its origins are unknown, it’s clear that the creators wanted people to let their cats know that they are loved. Studies have shown that giving your cat a hug can reduce stress and help you relax.Pardon DayIt’s on September 8, a day to seek and give forgiveness and be kind to everyone and forgive those who may have hurt you. It’s thought that this unofficial holiday owes its existence to the pardon given by United States President Gerald Ford to former President Nixon.Swap Ideas DayIt falls on September 10, which is a day to share thoughts, exchange ideas, trade opinions and discuss views with family members, friends, co-workers and strangers.This unofficial holiday promotes the concept that knowledge grows best when shared and that best ideas come about through teamwork. The day is also known in the United States as National Swap Ideas Day.Teddy Bear DayThis unofficial holiday is on September 9, a day to bring out all your teddy bears and thank them for the fun times you have had with them, and for all the days and nights they comforted you. Created in the early 20th century, this toy owes its name to American President Theodore Roosevelt, who was lovingly called Teddy by his family and friends, and it’s also become a part of children’s literature.1．Which holiday has something to do with American presidents?A．Pardon Day.B．Swap Ideas Day.C．Teddy Bear Day.D．Hug Your Cat Day2．Which saying does Swap Ideas Day most likely remind us of?A．Pride comes before a fall.B．Great minds speak alike.C．Two heads are better than one.D．It is never too late to learn.3．What do the listed holidays have in common?A．They are celebrated in September.B．They owe their existence to animals.C．They contribute to children’s books.D．They’re only recognized by the public.One day when DeJuan Strickland was in fourth grade, he didn’t have the money for school lunch. “That really kind of stuck with me, ”said DeJuan, now 15. This year, DeJuan, who goes by DJ, raised money on the GoFundMe website. “I wanted to do something to make sure other kids don’t have to feel that same way. ”DJ’s goal was to raise $200 to help parents in his community pay for their kids’ school meals. In less than two weeks, he raised $400. He went back to his old school, and presented the principal(校长)with a check.Now he’s raising money to support the entire Hazelwood School District. That includes more than 30 schools. “Sometimes, school lunch is the only meal a kid can depend on, “he says. ”I’m doing what I can to fight food insecurity. “As of September 23, 2023, donations to DJ’s fundraising campaigns totaled nearly $10, 000. Food insecurity affected more than 44 million people in America in 2022. Many kids rely on school meals, which families can struggle to pay for. A report by the School Nutrition Association shows that unpaid school meal debt in the U. S. topped $19 million in 2022.This school year, six states—Colorado, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, New Mexico, and Vermont—have made school meals free for all public school students, regardless of their family’s wealth.DJ is now in high school. He keeps busy playing football and running Team Tech Boy, a business he started when he was 12 to encourage kids’ interest in STEM. And he has written two STEM-themed books, Tech Boy and Science Girl. For college, DJ hopes to attend the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. “I plan to become a computer programmer and video-game developer, ”he says.At the moment, DJ and his mom are working to set up an organization to deal with food insecurity and other issues that affect young people. “We want to do more initiatives like the lunch-money fundraiser, ”he says. “But on a larger scale(规模). ”4．What made DJ collect money to help others?A．His own past experience.B．The principal’s example.C．His parents’ encouragement.D．The call from his community. 5．What can be learnt about America’s food insecurity?A．It happens in six states.B．It’s exactly wide-spread.C．It’s slowly disappearing.D．It affects a family’s wealth.6．Which best describes DJ?A．He dreams of becoming a writer.B．He is a determined student.C．He has a wide range of interests.D．He has earned much money.7．How does DJ find his lunch-money fundraising campaigns?A．Difficult.B．Successful.C．Time-saving.D．Out-dated.A survey of 2, 000 American adults finds that an average American spends nearly $3, 000 a year on unused groceries (杂货).The survey shows that when people do cook, a quarter of them always make more food than they’re able to finish, usually with the intention of having leftovers (剩菜剩饭). On average, people have leftovers to put into their fridges three times a week; however, they don’t always get around to using them up. Actually, a third admit they’re likely to forget about leftovers once they’re out of sight. Forgetting about food is one of the top reasons people end up having food waste, along with leftovers not being popular among family members(23%). While 4 in 10 have a strong desire to eat their leftovers, a quarter admit they get tired of eating the same thing before they’re able to finish.“With the rapid rise of food costs, wasting groceries each week hurts both nature and consumers’ wallets, “says director of sustainability at HelloFresh, Jeffrey Yorzyk. “Families cook with the best intention of using their leftovers, but our research shows that they’re generally not consuming all of those leftovers. Getting creative with the food in your fridge can help families feel like they’re eating something new and exciting!”For some people, what excites them at the supermarket doesn’t do it anymore when they get home. The survey shows that 38%admit they’ve thrown food away simply because they don’t feel like eating it after purchasing it. Some waste starts even before shoppers get home, as a fifth say they don’t know how much food they’ll use when grocery shopping.With these foods, 22%are not confident they know the best methods to store foods to keep freshness. Happily, seven in ten are trying to cut down on food waste. In fact, once you’ve bought food at the grocery store, there are a number of strategies to ensure you cansave it completely and cook it smartly.8．Which is the percentage of Americans preferring to have leftovers?A．23%.B．25%.C．33%.D．40%. 9．What is Jeffrey’ advice on leftovers?A．Eating them up at once.B．Deal with them inventively.C．Using them to protect nature.D．Giving them up to save money.A．Attract the shoppers.B．Produce leftovers.C．Lose the freshness.D．Go to the fridges.11．What might the author continue talking about?A．Benefits of saving foods.B．The art of cooking in the USA．C．The recent studies of leftovers.D．Ways to reduce grocery waste.As the world struggles to deal with climate change, some companies are working to capture(捕捉) polluting carbon dioxide(CO₂) from the air.The heavy use of fossil fuels(化石燃料) over the last 150 years has released massive amounts of greenhouse gases, like CO₂, which have caused the Earth to warm up.Scientists say large amounts of CO₂must be removed from the atmosphere and stored. Plants and trees do this naturally. But there’s so much CO₂in the atmosphere that just planting trees and protecting forests won’t solve the problem. And, when plants and trees die, the carbon they’ve stored gets released again. That means humans need to come up with ways of removing carbon from the air and storing it. This is called Direct Air Capture(DAC).A company called Heirloom has just opened the first DAC plant in the United States. Heirloom’s process uses limestone, a common rock, to capture CO₂. The company heats up the limestone to separate out the CO₂, which is then locked away in concrete. Heirloom uses renewable electricity to produce the heat, so the process, though expensive, doesn’t produce more CO₂. The new plant can remove 1, 000 tons of CO₂a year. That’s a tiny amount compared to how much carbon needs to be removed from the atmosphere. But the company says it hopes to remove a billion tons per year by 2035. Graphyte, another US company working on DAC, collects unwanted plants and wood products and dries them completely so they can’t break down. Graphyte then smashes them into small bricks and buries them deep underground.Not everyone is excited about carbon removal. Some experts worry that it will take too long for DAC technology to become powerful enough to make a difference. Others worry that focusing on removing carbon could take attention away from more important climate actions, like switching from fossil fuels to renewable energy.12．What does the author try to say in paragraph 3?A．Protecting forests is necessary.B．The climate crisis is unavoidable.C．Why DAC has come into being.D．Why there’s much CO₂in the air. 13．What’s the weakness of Heirloom’s carbon removal?A．It’s hard to find proper limestone.B．The process produces more CO₂.C．It needs an amount of electricity.D．It doesn’t capture enough CO₂ now. 14．Which do some experts agree with about DAC?A．It promotes renewable energy.B．It has a long way to go.C．It can beat climate change.D．It is so cost-effective.15．What is the best title for the text?A．Exploring Methods of Removing CO₂B．Building Two Plants to Capture CO₂C．Planting Trees to Fight Climate CrisisD．Replacing Fossil Fuels by Using DACLearning English can be fun and useful. However, it can also seem difficult sometimes. But be relaxed! We’ve got some top tips on how to learn English effectively.16 You should think about why you want to study English and what you want to achieve. For example, you might want to read a certain book in English or have a fluent (流利)conversation with a native speaker. When you have decided on your main aim, you can then make smaller steps to reach it. 17Find a routine. Learning a language takes a lot of time and practice. Therefore, it helps if you have a routine when you are studying. 18 Next, you can plan your time to create a routine. Whether you study for 30 minutes each day or 1-2 hours throughout the week, you will gradually improve your English.Connect with the culture. Understanding English is easier if you can understand the culture of those who natively speak it. If you’re particularly interested in British English, for example, you could learn about the culture and history of the UK. 19 Therefore, youhave lots of cultures to explore!Make mistakes. You won’t be perfect at English straightaway. All learners(and many native speakers!)make mistakes in English. 20 It’s better to be fluent and make errors than be accurate without fluency. You can ask the people you are talking with to identify mistakes in your English. These corrections will make you better at using English in a natural way.A．Set a goal.B．Read what you like.C．Develop a fixed study habit.D．This method helps you to stay motivated.E．There are 19 native English-speaking countries.F．These errors can help you learn and improve your English skills.G．You should think about how long you can study for each day or week.二、完形填空In mid-October many years ago, I, with my little sick daughter, needed to pick up my21．A．control B．sight C．cash D．breath 22．A．unnoticed B．unaccepted C．unaffected D．unknown 23．A．promised B．allowed C．told D．forced 24．A．reminded B．informed C．warned D．convinced 25．A．window B．tire C．wallet D．phone 26．A．enthusiastically B．finally C．graduallyD．nervously27．A．appearing B．coming C．working D．returning 28．A．again B．too C．already D．instead 29．A．looking forward to B．keeping up with C．caring aboutD．calling on30．A．refuse B．hesitate C．fail D．afford 31．A．make B．replace C．find D．repair 32．A．job B．business C．trick D．majority 33．A．free B．eager C．ready D．brave 34．A．number B．name C．career D．payment 35．A．stranger B．friend C．passenger D．neighbor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。

Charing Cross.BFor almost two months Dominic York, a 23-year-old hairdresser, wandered about hospitals all night, wearing a white coat and pretending he was a doctor. Yesterday he proudly claimed in court that despite his complete lack of medical experience or qualifications, he had saved several people's lives. He had even been allowed to assist a surgeon during an emergency operation on a patient who was about to die on something she had swallowed.“I watched one of those TV dramas about a hospital and suddenly I felt like playing one of the roles myself. So I put on a white jacket and a stethoscope（听诊器）and walked around one of the biggest hospital in London. At first, I just watched. Once you learn how doctors talk to patients, nurses and other doctors, it's easy to take people in.” he said.One of the patients he treated was Laura Kennan. She had been knocked down by a car and fainted. When she came into hospital, York was standing over her.“He looked very professional. He told me his name was Doctor Simon. Then he gave me some sort of injection." she said. And then he suddenly cleared off when a nurse asked who he was. She didn't think there was anything wrong. "I would never have realized he was a fake if a policewoman hadn't showed me his photograph a week later. When the policewoman told me who he really was, I cou ld hardly believe my ears.”Judge Raymond Adams told York that he was "shocked and horrified,, that he got away with his deceiving（欺瞒）for so long, and then sentenced him to eighteen months in a special prison for criminal with mental disorders.“1 can only hope that this will not lead to further problems. After all, you will have considerable opportunities to study the behavior of the psychiatrists（精神科医生）who will look after you while you are there. If you try to persuade people that you yourself are a psych iatrist after you are set free, 1 shall make sure that you are given a much longer sentence.” Judge Adams warned York.24.York was proud of the fact that.A. a surgeon let him watch an operation.B. he could perform some duties of a doctorC. he had cheated doctors for so longD. people thought he could become a real doctor25.York learned how to behave like a doctor by.A. watching other doctors workB. talking to doctors and nursesC. getting some training and experienceD. observing doctors while he was a patient26.Why was Laura Kennan in hospital?A.She had swallowed something and almost died.B.She had to have an emergency operation.C.She had been injured in a road accident.D.She had lost consciousness while driving.27.The judge's remark implied that York would be more severely punished if he.A. pretended to be a psychiatristB. tried to get away from prisonC. was proud of what he had doneD. studied the behavior of the psychiatristCThe baby is just one day old and has not yet left hospital. She is quiet but alert （警觉）.Twenty centimeters from her face researchers have placed a white card with two black spots on it. She stares at it carefully. A researcher removes the card and replaces it by another, this time with the spots differently spaced. As the cards change from one to the other, her gaze （注视）starts to lose its focus —until a third, with three black spots, is presented. Her gaze returns; she looks at it for twice as long as she did at the previous card. Can she tell that the number two is different from three, just 24 hours after coining into the world?Or do newborns simply prefer more to fewer? The same experiment, but with three spots shown before two, shows the same return of interest when the number of spots changes. Perhaps it is just the newness? When slightly older babies were shown cards with pictures of objects （a comb, a key, an orange and so on）, changing the number of objects had an effect separate from changing the objects themselves. Could it be the pattern that two things make, as opposed to three? No again. Babies paid more attention to squares moving randomly on a screen when their number changed from two to three, or three to two. The effect even crosses between senses. Babies who were repeatedly shown two spots became more excited when they then heard three drumbeats than when they heard just two; likewise （同样地）when the researchers started with drumbeats and moved to spots.28.The experiment described in Paragraph 1 is related to the baby's ______.A. sense of hearingB. sense of sightC. sense of touchD. sense of smell29.Babies are sensitive to the change in___.A. the size of cardsB. the color of picturesC. the shape of patternsD. the number of objects30.Why did the researchers test the babies with drumbeats?A. To reduce the difficulty of theexperiment.B. To see how babies recognize sounds.C. To carry their experiment further.D. To keep the babies9 interest.31.Where does this text probably come from?A. Science fiction.B. Children's literature.C. An advertisement.D. A science report.The word advertising refers to any kind of public announcement that brings products and services to the attention of people. Throughout history, advertising has been an effective way to promote the trading and selling of goods. In the Middle Ages, merchants employed “town criers” to read public messages aloud to promote their goods. When printing was invented in the fifteenth century, pages of advertisements （ads） could be printed easily and were either hung in public places or put in books.By the end of the seventeenth century, when newspapers were beginning to be read by more people, printed materials became an important way to promote products and services. The London Gazette was the first newspaper to set aside a place just for advertising. This was so successful that by the end of the century several companies started businesses for the purpose of making newspaper ads for merchants.Advertising spread quickly throughout the eighteenth century. Ad writers were starting to pay more attention to the design of the ad text. Everything, from clothes to drinks, was promoted with clever methods such as repetition of the firm's name or product, words organized in eye-catching patterns, the use of pretty pictures and expressions easy to remember.Near the end of the nineteenth century, companies that were devoted to the production of ads came to be known as ""advertising agencies （广告商）The agencies developed new ways to get people to think of themselves as members of a group. Throughout the twentieth century, advertising agencies promoted consumerism （消费主义）as a way of life, spreading the belief that people could be happy only if they bought the "right“ products.32.What was advertising like in the Middle Ages?A.Merchants were employed to promote products.B.Ad messages were shouted out in public places.C.Product information was included in books.D.Ad signs were put up in towns.33.What does the word "This" in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. Advertising in newspapers.B. Including pictures in ads.C. Selling goods in markets.D. Working with ad agencies.34.The 18th century advertising was special in its.A. growing spendingB. printing materialsC. advertising companiesD. attractive designs35. Which of the following might be the best title for the text?A. The Story of AdvertisingB. The Value of Advertising DesignsC. The Role of Newspaper AdvertisingD. The Development of Printing for Advertising其次节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）依据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

"The fight against cyberbullying is like a war, and in this war I am a fearless fighter," Sadat Rahman said during a ceremony on November 13 in The Hague, the Netherlands. He added, "If everybody keeps supporting me, then together we will win this battle against cyberbullying."Rahman developed a mobile phone application that provides education about online bullying and a way to report cases of it. He said he began his work on the project after hearing the story of a 15-year-old girl who took her own life as a result of cyberbullying. "I will not stop until we receive no more cases through the app," Rahman said at the ceremony.The award comes with a fund of over $118,000, which is invested by the Kids Rights Foundation. The group chooses projects to support causes that are closely linked to the winner's work.Past well-known winners of the prize include Pakistani human rights activist Malala Yousafzai and Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg.

The Red Delicious apple is likely to lose its title as the most popular apple this year, which it held for more than half a century. The U.S. Apple Association is projecting, that the Gala apple will usurp（夺取）the Red Delicious for the top spot.The group, which advocates on behalf of 7,500 apple growers and 400 companies in the apple business, predicted that the U. S. would grow 52.4 million Gala apples in 2018, up 5.9 percent from a year earlier. Red Delicious apple production is expected to fall 10.7 percent to 51.7 million.Consumers apparently like the Gala's "taste, texture（口感）and sweetness," the U.S. Apple Association said in a statement. "The rise in production of newer varieties of apples aimed at the fresh consumption domestic market has caused demand for the Red Delicious to decline." said Mark Seetin, the association's director of regulatory and industry affairs.The Granny Smith, Fuji and Honeycrisp apples are expected to rank third, fourth and fifth. The association predicted that within a year or two the Honeycrisp may pass the Granny Smith and Fuji, jumping into third place. The production of the apple rose 21.8 percent to 23.5 million this year. That puts it ahead of the Golden Delicious apple for the first time. The Honeycrisp was created by the University of Minnesota's apple breeding（培育）program only 21 years ago. It typically costs more than its competitors.Until the 1970s, Americans had only a few choices of apples. While the Golden Delicious offered a color contrast and the Granny Smith brought tartness（酸味）to the table, the Red Delicious was the star, heavily promoted by Washington state growers. Then wholesalers began looking for tastier varieties, finding them overseas in Japan, home to the Fuji, and New Zealand, which had the Braeburn and Gala.（1）How does the author prove Americans' preference for the Gala?A.By using statistics.B.By listing examples.C.By explaining causes.D.By presenting research findings.（2）What do we know about the Honeycrisp?A.It is sour in flavor.B.It is light in color.C.It is gaining popularity.D.It is losing its price advantage.（3）Which of the following comes from New Zealand?A.The Fuji.B.The Honeycrisp.C.The Braeburn.D.The Granny Smith.（4）What does the text mainly tell us?A.Why Americans eat apples from different countries.B.How different apples are becoming popular in America.C.How American farmers choose their apple growing types.D.Why the Red Delicious was Americans' favorite for 50 years.causal inferences rather than simply finding patterns.

I considered 5 her, but instead I said，“I’m very upset by all this. When you’re supposed to be in school，that’s 6 I expect you to be. Now I’m probably going to get a phone call from your teacher.” Megan said, “ Write me an absence note, say I was sick and then you won’t get a call.” I said，“Megan，the note has to come from you and it has to be the 7 .”Well，she wasn’t very 8 about that，but she did write a note saying she was just “experimenting” and that she wouldn’t do it again.Although the teacher gave her a 9 time over the note, I still felt I did the right thing.

北京市海淀区2023-2024学年高二上学期期末考试英语试卷学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、完形填空On the morning of my first marathon, I woke up before my alarm and ate a classic runner’s breakfast. I had slept eight hours. My unreliable left knee wasn’t bothering me. I was 1 .Then my girlfriend, Louisa, knocked on the door, asking whether I had checked my email. Race officials sent an email at 5 a. m. announcing The Twin Cities Marathon in Minneapolis and St. Paul had been 2 due to record high temperatures.While I understood why the race organizers didn’t want to put runners at 3 , I also knew that I had trained in the baking and humid Washington D．C．all summer. If I could start earlier than planned and finish around noon, I’d miss the worst 4 of the day.I went to the starting line and saw many runners despite the cancellation. I joined a group of local runners who knew the route.
