河北省2023-2024学年高二年级上学期期末统考英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解Last Friday, Britain’s Prince William announced the winners of this year’s Earthshot Prize. The prize is meant to encourage new ideas and rapid action to help protect the planet. Below are parts of this year’s prize-winning projects in each category.Protect and Restore NatureKheyti won the prize for protecting and restoring nature with its “Greenhouse-in-a-box” idea. Kheyti is already working with 1, 000 farmers across India, which is one of the most climate-affected countries in the world. The company says the greenhouses allow farmers to use 90% less water and produce seven times as much food. Kheyti hopes to get its greenhouses to 50,000 farmers by 2027.Clean Our AirCharlot Magayi won the prize for cleaning the air. Ms. Magayi developed a stove (炉子) that uses a fuel that’s cheaper and pollutes far less than charcoal stoves. Currently, over 200,000 of her Clean Stoves are being used in Kenya.Build a Waste-Free WorldA London-based company called Notpla(for “Not Plastic”)won the prize for building a waste-free world. They’ve created a plastic substitute(替代品)from plants found in the ocean. Unlike most plastic, their products break down naturally with no microplastics. Notpla believes their products can help end the plastic pollution that’s filling landfills and polluting oceans.Fix Our ClimateThe Earthshot Prize for working toward fixing our climate went to a company called 44.01 from Oman. 44.01 has come up with a way to turn polluting carbon dioxide(CO2)into a rock called peridotite. Once the CO2 has been turned into rock, it can no longer be released into the atmosphere again. The method that 44.01 uses is fast, cheap and permanent. 1．What is the aim of the Earthshot Prize?A．To offer practical advice on global warming.B．To find solutions to the environmental problems.C．To develop a strategic partnership with all parties.D．To encourage literary creations of the British people.2．Where are Kheyti’s greenhouses widely used?A．In India.B．In Kenya.C．In the UK.D．In Oman. 3．What do Charlot Magayi and 44.01 have in common?A．They want to build a waste-free world.B．Their projects are directly good for farmers.C．Their achievements benefit the air cleaning.D．They use plants from the ocean in their products.Some of my earliest memories involve sitting with my dad in his study every night when he came home from the office, I’d watch as he put his personal items away; his watch, wallet, comb and car keys They would always occupy the same spot on the table every time.Dad’s comb was jade green. I heard he bought it when he married Mum. Every night, he would smile, hand me the comb and say, “Be a good girl and help Daddy clean it, OK?”I was more than happy to do it. At age five, this kind of task brought me such joy. I would excitedly turn the tap on, and then brush the comb with a used toothbrush as hard as I could. Satisfied that I’d done a good job, I would proudly return the comb to Dad. He would smile at me, and place the comb on top of his wallet.About two years later, Dad left his sales job and started his own wholesale business. I started primary school. That was when things started to change. Dad’s business wasn’t doing so well, and our stable life started getting shaky. He didn’t come home as much as he used to. And when he did come home, it was always late and I’d already be in bed. 1 started to get mad. Why didn’t he listen to Mum and just stick to his old job? Why did he take the risk and place the whole family in trouble? Over the years, I stopped waiting for him to come home, and stopped going downstairs to check on him.Now 28, I’ve graduated from college and got a job. Dad’s business has also started to get back on track. Yet the uncomfortable silence between Dad and me went on.Two days before my birthday last year, Dad came home early. On that evening, I helped him carry his bags into his study as usual. When I turned to leave, he asked me to clean his comb. I looked at him for a while, then took the comb and headed to the sink.It was the same comb. After cleaning it, I passed it back to Dad. He looked at it and smiled. But this time, I noticed something different. My dad had aged. He had wrinkles nextto his eyes when he smiled, yet his smile was still as heartwarming as before.4．From the first three paragraphs, we can learn___________.A．the author would study with Dad every eveningB．the precious green comb of Dad was made of jadeC．the earliest memories with Dad were full of joyD．the author was unwilling to clean the comb for Dad5．What probably made Dad decide to start his own business?A．He was eager to get everything on track.B．He wanted to keep his family life stable.C．He was laid off and had to make a living.D．He hoped to earn a better life for the family.6．What emotional changes did the author experience when staying with Dad these years?A．Cheerful→mad→warm.B．Mad→satisfied→warm.C．Satisfied→worried→angryD．Warm→concerned→uncomfortable.7．Which could be the best title for the text?A．My Dad’s CombB．Dad’s Wholesale BusinessC．Changes of My DadD．My Earliest Memories with DadMost people don’t lie very much. It makes sense. By being honest with people, you not only build up goodwill, but also save a lot of brain power since your brain doesn’t have to do anything out of the ordinary when you tell the truth. You just think of what you want to say, and you say it.Actually, lying takes much more work. Imagine you’re late to class and the teacher asks why. If you decide to lie, you have to make up a story on the spot, think about the various directions the conversation might take and figure out what you need to say to keep this whole lie from falling apart. You might not be aware of it, but you just give your brain a lot of extra work. “A lot of that brain work is done in a region called the prefrontal cortex. It’s the part in charge of working memory,” explains Jennifer Vendemia, a scientist from the University ofSouth Carolina.Working memory keeps something in mind just for a little while, such as remembering instructions for how to play a game or some other specific tasks. It stores things for only a short while as you’re using them, and it doesn’t put them in long-term storage. Besides working memory, the prefrontal cortex also takes care of tasks such as planning, problem-solving and self-control. Scientists describe these as executive function tasks. Executive function lets you think a step or two ahead to make sure the lie you’ re telling will likely hold up to questioning. “Spending so much brainpower trying to keep a story straight means there’s less available for other things,” says Vendemia. “Lying is especially harmful for young people as the prefrontal cortex is not fully developed until around age 25. When the prefrontal cortex is busy with tasks related to lying, younger people have a harder time doing other tasks.”Lying has social costs, too. People generally value honesty and don’t like liars. So if people view you as untrustworthy, it can be bad for your relationships.8．What is the first paragraph mainly about?A．The costs of lying to people.B．The true meaning of honesty.C．The benefits of being truthful.D．The difficulty of being a good liar.9．Why is a lying student mentioned in the second paragraph?A．To prove a concept B．To introduce a topic.C．To provide the background.D．To give an example.10．Which of the following is the function of working memory?A．Remembering a life-long lesson.B．Storing information for a short time.C．Pushing oneself to face difficulties.D．Processing information in the brain.11．What is the passage mainly about?A．The reasons why people lie.B．The harmful effects of lying.C．The part of brain in charge of lying.D．The ways to avoid being caught lying.Have you ever noticed that the stars sometimes appear brighter in December, January and February? There's a link between cold air and the night lights. "Part of it is that it tends to be drier in the winter," said Diane Tumshek, an astronomer at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Even though it's invisible, moisture can change the way light moves through the air. And in the summer, moisture can make stars appear more dull.Air temperature is also what puts the twinkle twinkle in the little stars. "Even on very clear nights, some of the atmosphere is cooler, and some of the atmosphere is warmer,” said Tumshek, who also works with the Allegheny Observatory. And when the light from a star passes through those bubbles of varying temperatures, "it bends and shifts the light, so that we are seeing stars appear to dance or twinkle,” she said.For star lovers in the United States, there's another factor that comes into play for bright winter stars, although this is a matter of coincidence. During Earth's journey around the sun, “there are just simply more bright stars visible from the Northern Hemisphere in the winter sky," Tumshek said. If you really want to see a shiny star, just try to find a burning ball of gas called Sirius near the horizon. At 8.6 light-years away, Sirius is relatively close to Earth and the brightest star visible in the night sky. It is also large — nearly twice as big as our sun and 20 times as bright. So this winter, when the world turns cold and it seems like we should be spending more time indoors, consider asking an adult to go exploring outside. With a warm coat and a clear sky, any night can be turned into a treasure hunt. All you have to do is look up.12．What does the underlined word "dull" in Paragraph 1 probably mean?A．not shiny B．not exciting C．not severe D．not smart 13．How does air temperature influence the brightness of stars?A．By changing the bubbles around them.B．By putting the twinkle twinkle in them.C．By varying the direction of the light from them.D．By making the stars dance and twinkle in the sky.14．What do we know about Sirius?A．It can be found at any night.B．It is 20 times as bright as the sun.C．It is a burning and shiny ball.D．It is closer to Earth than other stars, 15．What is the author's purpose in writing the text?A．To advocate stargazing in winter,B．To call on people to focus on stars.C．To present new research results about stars.D．To explain why stars are more visible in winter.Poetry has healing powers. To get more joy and peace, we don’t have to be a professional poet but we can develop a poetic mindset (心态). 16Be in awe (敬畏) of everything.The poetic mindset starts with the idea that nothing is an accident. Everything is interrelated and plays a part in a greater whole. 17 Close your eyes. Now open them. What is the first thing you see? Look closer. Ask yourself: What does it look like? What does it remind you of? Does it bring happy thoughts or sad ones? Why? I bet your randomly selected object is full of meaning.18A poem is a place where you can pour out your hard feelings. Don’t be afraid. You can always throw the page into the fireplace once you’ve filled it. 19 Poetry can be a storeroom for everything difficult in your life. But there’s more, I find when I write about something I’m struggling with, my negative feeling begins to become weaker.Seek what inspires you.Life isn’t perfect, but you can live with love and trust anyway. 20 There is always goodness to be found once you train yourself to look for it. Poetry to me is a form of praise. I build poems from things I see, people I meet and thoughts and feelings found deep inside. As I present those treasures in poetic language, I am appreciating what is good in them.A．Let pain be your teacher.B．How can we manage it in an easy way?C．What are the steps of writing a good poem?D．Poetry helps us remember this important wisdom.E．Or seal it in an envelope and come back to it later.F．Writing a poem is about describing your inner world vividly.G．Therefore, everything deserves notice and even appreciation.二、完形填空I was walking through the bush when, suddenly, a baby koala rushed to me through theof these animals 24 .Ever since I was a girl, I’d loved animals and at 18 had started work at the Curmmbin Wildlife Sanctuary as a 25 collector. Selecting leaves for the koalas brought me so much joy as the koalas 26 them for food. Through hard work and 27 I eventually became a koala specialist, which saw me working in China, where I 28 in koala-breeding programs.My son, Jett, always been with koalas and comes out 29 them with me. But we’ve both become concerned over the 30 of our beloved koalas. I knew the best way to stop them from dying out was to 31 the young like my son because the future really is theirs. So I wrote a children’s book, Have You Seen A Tree For Me?, which I hope will help them understand we’ve got to 32 our beloved wildlife.There are lots of 33 things kids can do to start helping now; Keep dogs and cats locked away from wildlife, plant a tree that will encourage native animals to visit and34 your family to drive slowly in wildlife habitats and areas. That might only sound35 , but if we all do this, it can make a big difference.21．A．arms B．legs C．clothes D．gloves 22．A．curious B．responsible C．excited D．unwilling 23．A．exchange B．care C．lecture D．power 24．A．officially B．properly C．recently D．equally 25．A．wood B．rubbish C．leaf D．water 26．A．broke down B．depended on C．came across D．concentrated on 27．A．study B．confidence C．debate D．arrangement 28．A．checked B．typed C．registered D．joined 29．A．naming B．impressing C．feeding D．catching 30．A．health B．future C．food D．return 31．A．educate B．understand C．direct D．trust 32．A．control B．protect C．hide D．recognize 33．A．secret B．big C．interesting D．simple 34．A．allow B．force C．ask D．train35．A．small B．confusing C．natural D．difficult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。

AA nine-year-old kid was sitting at his desk when suddenly there was a puddle (some water or liquid) between his feet and the front of his trousers was wet. He thought his heart was going to stop because he couldn’t possibly imagine how this had happened. It had never happened before, and he knew that when the boys found out he would never hear the end of it. When the girls found out, they would never speak to him again as long as he lived.He prayed this prayer, “Dear God, I need help now! Five minutes from now I’m dead meat! ” He looked up from his prayer and here came the teacher with a look in her eyes that said he had been discovered. As the teacher was walking toward him, a classmate named Susie was carrying a goldfish bowl full of water. Susie tripped （绊倒）in front of the teacher and dumped （倒）the bowl of water in the boy’s lap. The boy pretended to be angry, but all the while he was saying to himself, “Thank you. God! ”Now all of a sudden, instead of being the object of ridicule(嘲笑), the boy was the object of sympathy （同情）. The teacher rushed him downstairs and gave him gym shorts to put on while his trousers dried out. All the other children were on their hands and knees cleaning up around his desk. The sympathy was wonderful. But as life would have it, the ridicule that should have been his had been transferred （转移）to someone else—Susie. She tried to help, but they told her to get out.When school wa s over, the boy walked over to Susie and whispered, “You did that on purpose, didn’t you?” Susie whispered back, “I wet my trousers once, too!”21.

Backer1896@126. comD. JGHTR@gmail. comCCan dogs and cats live in perfect harmony（和谐）in the same home? People who are thinking about adopting a dog as a friend for their cats are worried that they will fight. A recent research hasfound a new recipe of success. According to the study, if the cat is adopted before the dog, and if they are introduced when still young (less than 6 months for cats, a year for dogs), it is highly probable that the two pets will get along swimmingly. Two-thirds of the homes interviewed reported a positive relationship between their cat and dog.However, it wasn’t all sweetness and light. There was a reported coldness between the cat and dog in 25% of the homes, while aggression and fighting were observed in 10% of the homes. One reason for this is probably that some of their body signals were just opposite. For example, when a cat turns its head away it signals aggression, while a dog doing the same signals submission.In homes with cats and dogs living peacefully, researchers observed a surprising behavior. They are learning how to talk each other’s language. It is a surprise that cats can learn how to talk ‘Dog’, and dogs can learn how to talk ‘Cat’.What’s interesting is that both cats and dogs have appeared to develop their intelligence. They can learn to read each other’s body signals, suggesting that the two may have more in common than was previously suspected. Once familiar with each other’s pres ence and body language, cats and dogs can play together, greet each other nose to nose, and enjoy sleeping together on the sofa. They can easily share the same water bowl and in some cases groom (梳理) each other.The significance of this research on cats and dogs may go beyond pets --- to people who don’t get along, including neighbors, colleagues at work, and even world superpowers. If cats and dogs can learn to get along, surely people have a good chance.28. The underlined word “swimmingly” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ______.A. earlyB. sweetlyC. quicklyD. smoothly29. Some cats and dogs may fight when ______.A. they are cold to each otherB. they look away from each otherC. they misunderstand each other’s signalsD. they are introduced at an early age30. It is suggested in Paragraph 4 that cats and dogs ______.A. have common interestsB. are less different than was thoughtC. have a common body languageD. are less intelligent than was expected31. What can we human beings learn from cats and dogs?A. We should learn to live in harmony.B. We should know more about animals.C. We should live in peace with animals.D. We should learn more body languages.DIn a world with limited land, water and other natural resources, the harm from the traditional business model is on the rise. Actually, the past decade has seen more and more forests disappearing and globe becoming increasingly warm. People now realize that this unhealthy situation must be changed, and that we must be able to develop in sustainable (可持续的) ways. That means growth with low carbon or development of sustainable products. In other words, we should keep the earth healthy while using its supply of natural resources.Today, sustainable development is a popular trend in many countries. According to a recent study, the global market for low-carbon energy will become three times bigger over the next decade.China, for example, has set its mind on leading that market, hoping to seize chances in the new round of the global energy revolution. It is now trying hard to make full use of wind and solar energy, and is spending a huge amount of money making electric cars and high-speed trains. In addition, we are also seeing great growth in the global markets for sustainable products such as palm oil(棕榈油), which is produced without cutting down valuable rainforest. In recent years the markets for sustainable products have grown by more than 50%.Governments can fully develop the potential of these new markets. First, they can set high targets for reducing carbon emissions(排放) and targets for saving and reusing energy. Besides, stronger arrangement of public resources like forests can also help to speed up the development. Finally, governments can avoid the huge expenses that are taking us in the wrong direction, and redirecting some of those expenses can accelerate the change from traditional model to a sustainable one.The major challenge of this century is to find ways to meet the needs of a growing population within the limits of this single planet. That is no small task, but it offers abundant new chances for sustainable product industries.32. The traditional business model is harmful because of all the following EXCEPT that ______.A. It makes the world warmerB. it consumes natural resourcesC. it brings severe damage to forestsD. it makes growth hard to continue33. What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To introduce a new business model.B. To advocate sustainable development.C. To predict a change of the global market.D. To compare two business models.34. To fully develop the low-carbon markets, government can ______.A. cut public expensesB. forbid carbon emissionsC. develop public resourcesD. encourage energy preservation35. We can learn from the last paragraph that businesses have many chances to ______.A. develop sustainable productsB. explore new natural resourcesC. make full use of natural resourcesD. deal with the major challenge第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
