An academic paper on movies.Chinese mathematics educator Gu Lingyuan delivered a lecture about a 45-year math teaching reform program in Shanghai at the 14th International Congress on Mathematical Education. The reform program-the "Qingpu Experiment"—has involved three generations of educators.The experiment started in Shanghai's Qingpu District in 1977 when Gu found only 2.8 percent of 4,300 surveyed middle school students there passed a test related to basic math knowledge, and 23.5 percent received zeros. Since then, three rounds of 15-year research and reforms in math teaching have been launched to improve the general local math education quality."The first period was to explore practical ways to improve education quality in most common situations, "Gu said. In this period, Gu and his colleagues (同事) spent three years in surveying students' math learning. They then selected seven local schools and 50 teachers to learn about problems and useful experiences before screening out the most effective teaching approaches. The approaches were then promoted in all local schools.With their efforts, 16 percent of the final-year students passed the math test in the graduation exam in 1979, and the rate increased to 85 percent in 1986.After improving students' test scores, they began to work on how to make students become "smarter". In this period, they developed an approach to guiding students to develop their cognitive ability rather than merely memorizing mathematical concepts and practicingby doing exercises. In the past decade, they have been paying more attention to students' innovative abilities and putting forward the approach of action education."This experiment helped us find out problems in mathematics education in China and offer solutions, in which we have summarized our own experiences, "said Gu.4．What do the experimental data in paragraph 2 indicate?A.Students showed little interest in math.B.Students diversified in learning outcomes.C.Students exhibited limited math competence.D.Students were distracted from math learning.5．What can we learn from the first period of the experiment?A.One in five students passed the final graduation math test.B.Selected measures were taken to boost students' performance.C.A survey concerning teachers' education process was conducted.D.Various teaching approaches were promoted across the country.6．What have Gu and his colleagues focused on in the last ten years?A.Students' innovative ability.B.Students' memorizing ability.C.Teachers' education system.D.Teachers' teaching technique.7．What is the text mainly about?A.Qingpu Experiment:a 45-year math teaching reform program.B.Gu Lingyuan: A pioneering mathematics educator.C.The development of math education in China.cation reforms in Qingpu District.Without shiny black solar panels (太阳能板) on the roof, the residents in an apartment building in Illinois are enjoying the benefits of "community solar"-a program in which residents can buy electricity from nearby solar farms, reducing planet-warming greenhouse gas emissions (排放) and receiving discounts on their electric bills.The solar energy in community solar doesn't actually flow into your home, but flows into your area's power grid (电网) , providing electricity to homes and businesses in your region, and you get the benefits of government solar rewards in the form of lower electricity bills.Among those signing up for the program is Dickerson, 73, of Oak Park, Illinois. "Try it；you'll like it, "he said. "You'll save money, and you'll feel good about saving the planet-at least a little bit." Proudly showing charts of their electricity costs in a recent interview,Dickerson and his fellow members of the community green committee, said they're all paying less with community solar for their individual homes as well as the community's common space.Community solar was pioneered in the mid-2000s as a way to bring clean energy to the many American households without access to solar panels for various reasons. "Community solar is about to boost everywhere in terms of access, "said Nicole Steele, a senior advisor in the U. S. Department of Energy. "It's just another way to be part of the clean energy transformation and see the actual benefits."Dickerson and his neighbour Johnson have been protecting the planet since childhood, such as leaving no litter in the forest and sorting recyclables. Therefore, they found it easy to accept community solar. Now, the building's green newsletter, edited by Johnson, is"Johnson said of this work. "How could I do something that's bad for the world in which my grandchildren are going to live?"8．How does community solar work?A.By directly transporting energy to households.B.By equipping residents' rooftops with panels.C.By storing electricity in nearby solar farms.D.By providing electricity through the power grid.9．Why did Dickerson and the committee members sign up for the program?A.To prevent greenhouse gas emission.B.To reduce cost and help save the planet.C.To experience a more convenient energy.D.To get rewards from the local government.10．What is Nicole Steele's attitude to community solar?A.Doubtful.B.Dismissive.C.Conservative.D.Approving.11．What does the underlined word "trumpeting" in the last paragraph probably mean?A.Admitting shyly.B.Stating critically.C.Explaining secretly.D.Announcing proudly.As they grow, children start doing certain activities without their parents watching over them. And while most parents agree that kids benefit from opportunities to be independent, they may be engaging in more "helicopter parenting", suggests a new University of Michigan Health C. S. Mott Children's Hospital National Poll (民意调查) on Children's Health."There's a sizable gap between parent attitudes about promoting children's independence and what they actually allow or encourage their children to do without supervision (监督) , "said Mott Poll co-director Sarah Clark, M.P.H.Four in five parents of children aged 9-11 agree that it's good for children to have free time without adult supervision. But fewer report their child actually does certain things without an adult present, the poll suggests.About three in five parents have let their tween-aged child stay home for 30-60 minutes while half say their child has separated from them to find an item at another aisle (过道) in the store. Less than half say their child has walked or biked to a friend's house or played at the park with a friend, and less than a sixth of parents have let their child trick-or-treat with friends.The top reason behind parents' hesitancy to promote such independent milestones was safety. "To some extent, worrying about your child is natural. But some parents are limiting their child's independent activities due to highly publicized media reports, even if those outcomes are very unlikely to occur or cannot be prevented, "Clark said.The elementary school years, Clark notes, is an important period for developing independence with parental guidance. "Becoming independent is a gradual process of allowing children increasing amounts of freedom, with parents there to teach skills and help the child understand the potential dangers of their choices, "Clark said. "As children become more experienced and comfortable with tasks, they can assume responsibility for doing them regularly. Research shows encouraging independence facilitates a child's self-confidence, problem-solving ability, and mental health."12．What is an example of "helicopter parenting"?A.Sara allowing her 9-year-old daughter to go swimming alone.B.David stopping his 10-year-old son playing football for fear of danger.C.Anderson leaving his 11-year-old twins in the library on weekends.D.Joanna inviting her 12-year-old daughter to go hiking in the mountain.13．What is the main reason behind parents' hesitancy?A.Being busy.B.Fear of media reports.ck of trust.D.Safety concerns.14．According to Clark, what benefit can children gain from being independent?A.Improved physical health.B.Better social skills.C.Enhanced problem-solving ability.D.Increased academic performance.15．What is the suggested approach for parents to promote children's independence?A.Gradually increasing freedom with parental support.B.Giving children complete freedom without guidance.C.Warning children of the potential dangers of their choices.D.Encouraging independence after elementary school years.二、七选五16．Research by psychologist Carol Dweck suggests that there are two basic mindsets that influence how people think about themselves and their abilities: the fixed mindset and the growth mindset.People who possess a fixed mindset believe that things such as intelligence are unchangeable. Those with a fixed mindset believe that success isn't a result of hard work-it's simply a result of talents. ①______Those who have a growth mindset, on the other hand, feel that they can change, grow, and learn through effort.②______ When things get tough, they look for ways to improve their skills and keep working toward success.By taking baby steps, anyone who wants to can change one's mindset from a "fixed" perspective (视角) to a ''growth mindset''. Here's how：Acknowledge and accept imperfection in self and others. ③______Our imperfections make us unique. And self-love is a good thing.Speed is not important. ④______ Instead, you fully engage and put effort into the process, no matter how long it takes. By the way, focusing on the process often also improves results, because you did put a lot of effort in along the way.⑤______ People with growth mindsets don't believe that failure is a reflection of their abilities. Instead, they view it as a valuable source of experience from which they can learn and improve. "That didn't work, "they might think, "so this time I'll try something a little different."By choosing to make the extra effort to build a growth mindset, you can make your mental processes work for you, resulting in a greater likelihood that you get the results you're looking for and live the life you want to live.A. Believe that your efforts matter.B. View failures as learning experiences.C. What works for you might not work for someone else.D. They tend to give up more easily in the face of a challenge.E. We all have our short-comings and weaknesses -our imperfections.F. When you have a growth mindset, the end results are less of a focus.G. People who believe that they are capable of growth are more likely to achieve success.三、完形填空（15空）A heartwarming tale of friendship and selflessness has drawn the attention of peopleplace.This story is an evidence of the power of the Internet to bring people together, even in17．A.ambition B.ability C.charge D.need18．A.cure B.replace C.reach D.open19．A.relative B.stranger C.classmate D.nurse20．A.decided B.hesitated C.pretended D.refused21．A.encountered B.mentioned C.examined D.recognised22．A.convinced B.understood C.ignored D.confused23．A.determined B.confident C.brilliant petitive24．A.opponent B.genius C.student D.match25．A.excitedly B.bitterly C.loosely D.constantly26．A.amusing B.emotional C.peaceful D.heartbreaking27．A.creativity B.intelligence C.connection D.cognition28．A.conducting B.inspiring C.spreading D.acknowledging29．A.desperate B.clumsy C.unexpected D.unbearable30．A.reminder B.reward C.memory D.reliever31．A.honesty B.generosity C.courage D.patience四、短文填空32．Plastic production is energy intensive (能源密集型) and consumes fossil fuels.

Speak，speak，speak!Practise speaking as often as yon can--even speaking to yourself is good practice.Try recording yourself whenever you can. Compare your pronunciation with the master version，see how you can do better and have another go.If yon do this severaltimes，you will find that each version is better than the last. Why not learn with someone else?It helps if you can learn with someone else. If yon can persuade a friend or family member to study with yon，it will make you keep working.Agree times to meet and set goals for the week，and test each other regularly.Don’t get stuck by a word you don’t knowPtactise improvising(即兴的)ways of getting your meaning across when speaking spontaneously(本能地)，even if yon don't know the exact words or phrases.Think of things yon might want to say whenever yon have spare time.A basic example is the rise of tenses.If you don't know the past tense but want to talk about yesterday，use the verb in the present tense and use the word for“yesterday”.Use facial expression，hand movements，anything to get your meaning across.Language learning is also about intuition(直觉)Guesswork is an important strategy in learning a new language.When listening to recorded material，yon aren’t expected to understand everything first time round.If you play the same piece several times，you will most probably understand something new each time.Learn to make maximum use of all the clues yon can pick up.For example，what do the speakers sound like? Happy? Angry? Calm? etc.Build up your vocabularyA wide vocabulary is the key to successful language learning but don't try to le arn too mach at once.It’s best to study frequently，for short periods of time.Take a maximum ofsix or seven items of vocabulary and learn them.Put them into sentences to fix them in your mind，then come back to them later.Much of the vocabulary in the course is presented by topic.And above all，have fun!（）46.Why should one have himself recorded when practising speaking?A. To encourage others to startB. To record his own progress.C. To improve his speaking.D. To compare himself with others. （）47.Which of the following is the most important in learning Eng lish?A.Speaking.B.Pleasure.C.Intuition.D.V ocabulary. （）48.It is implied in the passage that is helpful when you are learning English.A.body languageB.a good memoryC.a good friendD.a proper dictionary（）49.Which of the following proverbs(谚语) seems not to be always true inlearning a language?A.Practice makes perfect.B.A good beginning is half done.C.Rome is not built in a day.D.Don’t run before you can walk.BBy far the most common difficulty in study is simple failure to get down to regular concentrated work. This difficulty is much greater for those who do not work to a plan and have no regular routine of study. Many students muddle along ,doing a bit of this subject or that ,as the mood takes them, or letting their set work pile up until the last possible moment.Few students work to a set timetable .They say that if they did work out a timetable for themselves they would not keep to it ,or would have to change it frequently ,since they can never predict (foresee) from one day to the next what their activities will be .No doubt some students take much more kindly to a regular routine than others .There are many who shy away from aself-controlled weekly timetable ,and dislike being tied down to a fixed programme of work .Many able students state that they work in cycles .When they become interested in a topic they workon it attentively for three or four days at a time .On other days they avoid work completely .It has to be admitted that we do not fully understand the motivation（动机）to work .Most people over 25 years of age have become used to a work routine ,and the majority of really productive workers set aside regular hours for the more important areas of their work .The “tough-mind ed” school of workers doesn’t fully accept the idea that good work can only be done naturally ,under the influence of inspiration（灵感）.Those who believe that they need only work and study as the fit takes them have a mistaken belief either in their own talent or in the value of “freedom” .Freedom from control and discipline（纪律）leads to unhappiness rather than to“sel f-expression” or “personality development” . Our society insists on regular habits ,timekeeping and punctuality （及时），and whether we like it or not ,if we mean to make our way in society ,we have to meet its demands.（）50.The most widespread problem in applying oneself to studyis .A.changing from one subject to anotherB.the failure to keep to a set timetable of workC.the unwillingness to follow a systematic planD.working on a subject only when one feels like it（）51.Which of the following is true?A.Many students are not interested in using aself-controlled timetable.B.Many students don’t like being told to study to a fixed tim etable.C.Most people over 25 years of age don’t work to a set timetable.D.Tough-minded people agree that good work is done naturally.（）52.The underlined part “as the fit takes them” in paragraph 4 means .A. when they have the energyB. when they are in the moodC. when they feel fitD. when they find conditions suitable （）53.A suitable title for the passage might be .A. Attitudes to StudyB.A Study PlanC. The difficulties of StudyingD. Study and Self-disciplineCWhat makes one person more intelligent than another? What makes one person a genius, like the brilliant Albert Einstein, and another person a fool? Are people born intelligent or stupid, or is intelligence the result of where and how you live? These are very old questions and the answers to them are still not clear.We know, however, that just being born with a good mind is not enough. In some ways, the mind is like a leg or an arm muscle.It needs exercise. Mental (done with the mind) exercise is particularly important for young children. Many child psychologists (心理学家) think that parents should play with their children more often and give them problems to think about. The children are then more likely to grow up bright and intelligent. If, on the other hand, children are left alone a great deal with nothing to do, they are more likely to become dull and unintelligent.Parents should also be careful with what they say to young children. According to some psychologists, if parents are always telling a child that he or she is a fool or an idiot, then the child is more likely to keep doing silly and foolish things. So it is probably better for parents to say very positive (helpful) things to their children, such as “That wasa very clever thing you did.” or “You are su ch a smart child.”（）54. The words “intelligent” and “brilliant” in the first paragraph probably mean _______ while “dull” in the second paragraph means ________.A. bright and splendid; slow in thinking and understandingB. pretty and handsome; ordinary-lookingC. great and important; commonD. hopeful and helpful; careless（）55. A person ________ is more likely to become a genius.A. whose parents are cleverB. often thinking about difficult problemsC. often helped by his parents and teachersD. born with a good brain and putting it into active use（）56. It is better for parents ________.A. to praise and encourage their children more oftenB. to be hard on their childrenC. to leave their children alone with nothing to doD. to give their children as much help as possible（）57. Which of the following is NOT true according to the article?A. Parents play an important part in their children’s growth.B. The less you use your mind the duller you may become.C. Intelligence is obviously the result of where and how you live.D. What makes a person bright or stupid is still under discussion.DNo one could have failed to be moved had he watched the live televised volleyball game between the Chinese and Cuban women’s teams. As we sat before the television set, with our eyes fixed on the screen, we experienced every kind of feeling. When the two teams played neck and neck, we were on pins and needles, anxious as to what would come next, and when our team fell behind our hearts were in our mouths. Watching the game between those two teams is not only a matter of great joy. For more than that it provides food for thought. Just see how the Chinese wo men won the game ──by their co──operation (合作), by their excellent skill, their effort and strong will. AChi nese saying goes, “When two competent opponents (竞赛的双方) meet, the strong ──minded one will win. “This is the spirit of the Chinese Wo men’s Volleyball Team. If every Chinese showed some of the spirit, never losing heart in times of difficulty and remaining clear ──minded in times of advantage (优势), then our nation would stand in the vanguard (前列) of the world family of nations, just as the Chinese Women’s Volleyball Team has done, is doing and will do.（）58. While watching the game, we _____.A. had feelings of different kindB. enjoyed a friendly and wonderful gameC. clapped and cheered only for the Chinese Women’s VolleyballTeamD. were eager to know what would happen later on（）59. The wonderful game _____.A. brought us great joyB. provided us with food for our thoughtsC. gave us not only great joy but also food for thoughtsD. give us a valuable amusement（）60.

广东省广州市天河区2023~2024学年高二上学期期末考试英语试卷
广东省广州市天河区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、阅读理解Have you ever got the feeling that your dog is judging you?Well,you’re in for a surprise because it’s actually your dog who might be viewing you with a critical eye.Eliza Fletcher and her colleagues wondered whether dogs might rate us in terms of our skillfulness, particularly when those skills might come in handy for our four-footed little friends.So they set up a simple experiment.They showed60dogs two persons opening containers.One person is competent.That person was able to pop open the top after just a couple of twists while the other person failed at this task.That person tried to open the lid,but then gave up.The actors repeated the performance on a second container,with the same results.Then the researchers handed both actors a third container.In some trials,this container was empty.In others,it contained a treat. And what they found was that female dogs spent more time staring expectantly at the person who had previously demonstrated container-opening know-how.And they were more likely to approach the competent person,but only when they thought they might get free food.Dogs in the empty condition showed no preferences.So,why would females be more careful observers of people’s performances than males? Female advantage in the social cognitive domain(认知领域)has been reported across many species including humans.In other words,in many cognitive studies,furry females seem to show a higher social IQ than males.And sex differences have been seen in other dog studies. For example,females look at their owners more frequently and longer than males when facing unsolvable task.Female dogs solve significantly more tasks than males in social learning task.So,next time Fifi looks at you with those puppy dog eyes,you might be thinking,what a good dog!But she might be thinking,eeem,you could do better.1．Why did Eliza Fletcher do the experiment?A．To figure out the rate of human skills.B．To prove dogs have better skills than humans.C．To test whether dogs judge human’s skillfulness.from brands that reflect the values they believe in.Everyone should enjoy the same range of fashion choices,”says Ludovica Ospina,professor of marketing at the College of Business. 4．What do the underlined words“the elephant in the room”in paragraph1mean?A．Hardly satisfied.B．Socially accepted.C．Widely promoted.D．Obvious but ignored.5．What is Marie North’s attitude towards the all-size trend?A．Unclear.B．Negative.C．Puzzled.D．Cautious. 6．For what are some brands criticized by researchers?A．Their motivation.B．Their promotion.C．Their devotion.D．Their advertisement.7．What should fashion industry do in a body-diverse world?A．Provide more fashion choices.B．Show respect to the consumers.C．Produce clothes in various sizes.D．Build private relationships with customers.I still remember the first time I told my then-six-year-old son,Lev,that a clam makes calls with its“shell phone”.The laugh of recognition when he first got the joke was a moment I won’t ever forget.When I told it a second time in front of his friends Henry and Amir,I could see how proud he was that I had made his friends laugh.Excuse the showing off,but I was the cool dad.By Lev’s ninth birthday party,things had begun to change.After the seventh or eighth time I asked him“What do you call someone with no body and no nose?”he rolled his eyes.“I get it,Dad…”“…Nobody knows!”“Stop it,Dad!”I immediately shifted gears into food puns,but I got nothing except head shakes.I’m pretty sure I heard him say“Sorry about my dad”to his friends as they all ran off to play on their phones together.I used to be the life of every kids party.I was the one who always had a knock-knock joke at the party.Other parents loved that I could show up at any event and distract their kids with age-appropriate wordplay.Sure,there were other dads with their jokes,but I felt as if no one ever stole my crown.I tell you all this because after a lot of soul-searching,I believe it’s time.My kids aren’t grown and out of the house,but I’ve come to realize that I’ll never be able to compete with二、完形填空34．A．Therefore B．However C．Afterwards D．Besides 35．A．Spain B．China C．France D．Germany三、语法填空四、选词填空五、完成句子六、书信写作66．你校英文报为庆祝校美食文化节，向全校学生征集“我与一道美食的故事”。
