AChina has announced it's abolishing its one-child policy.What difference has it made, statistically speaking?400million births preventedThe one-child policy,officially in place since1979,has prevented400million births.Parents have faced fines and other punishments for having more children.The majori ty of the decrease in China's fertility(生育)rate happened in the1970s.It dropped from5.8children per woman in1970t02.7in1978.Despite the one-child policy the rate had only fallen t01.7by2013.21:28baby death rateSince the one-child policy was introduced,baby girls have become more likely to die than boys.In the1970s,according to the United Nations,60males per l,000live births died under the age of one.For girls the figure was53.In the1980s,after the one-child policy became official, the rate for both was36.By the1990s,26males per l,000live births died before the age of one-and33girls.The2000s saw21boys per l,000live births dying and28girls.1.16boys born for every girlSexually selective abortions have been considered as a major cause of China's unusual sexual imbalance.Gietel-Basten,associate professor in social policy at Oxford University,says the births of many girls are not registered if parents have broken the rule by having two children,adding officials often turn a blind eye.It's estimated there are now33million more men than women in China.4：2：1familiesWith the ageing of China's population and the continuation of the one-child policy,a“4: 2:1”home is the description given to households in which there are four grandparents cared for by two working age parents,who themselves have one child.By2050,it's predicted that a quarter of China's population will be65or older.The predicted decline in the number of people of working age is thought to have persuaded the government to drop the one-child policy.21.When was the baby death rate for both boys and girls equal?A.In the1970s.B.In the1980s.C.In the1990s.D.In the2000s.22.What makes the one-child policy abolished according to the passage?A.The decline of birth rate.B.The rise of baby death rate.C.The change of family structure.D.The decline of working age people.23.The passage sums up the one-child policy by.A.numberB.exampleC.contrastD.analysisBlt's a little hard to figure out the rules for sure,but the baby African buffalo(7K午)seems to have the upper hand.The two stand a couple feet apart,staring at each other.Behind them,their mothers look on with the kind of indifference(不关心)of mothers everywhere who see their kids playing a harmless game.The alarm went off about half an hour ago,the second time tonight.Here,one bell means “elephant”,two,“rhino”(犀牛),and three and four,1really can't remember for what,because when you're awoken by bells in the middle of the night,your first thought won't be“Animal!”. But as soon as I realized it was the rhino alarm,I was running for the stairs.Yet I'm the only one watching the animals stare-down.Either everyone else died of a heart attack w hen the bells went off,or l was the only one in the entire hotel who didn't turn the alarm switch to off before going to bed.The Ark,a hotel shaped like the biblical ark(圣经的方舟),lies in the highlands of Kenya's Aberdare National Park,about100kilometers north of Nairobi.At the Ark's prow(船首)are huge windows overlooking a waterhole.Earlier tonight,I'd watched a pack of wolves,buffalos and elephants.And now,at three or so in the morning,I'm down for rhino bells.The first time,2.5 hours ago,it was a single black rhino,which came down,got a drink,and left.I'd have been sorry for the lost sleep.I've already arranged with a guide to take me out at sunrise for the so-called“should_never_miss”bird-watching,where we'll get to see30species, but really,how many times in your life will you get to wake up and say,“Wow!Rhino!”?Isn't that the definition of a pretty good night?Last week we went from Uganda into Kenya.Before I left home,1thought I'd be happy with ten elephants and five or six giraffes on the whole trip.I didn't dare to dream the rhino.24.The message that the hotel's bells sent was.A.a very wise way the author had never heard ofB.hard for the author to remember in detailC.a matter that all visitors had got used toD.like conditioned response training for animals25.What's the author's attitude toward the bell?A.It's bothering but two bells are welcome.B.It should be turned off whenever it rings.C.It lets visitors have a chance to see buffalos.D.It is a very bad way to wake the guests up.26.What can we learn from the passage?A.The author hates all the animals.B.There are lots of wild animals near the Ark.C.The author slept well during the whole trip.D.The author has no interest in thinos.27.What did the author see at about3:00a.m.?A.Two buffalos were fighting fiercely for food.B.A rhino and a buffalo were fighting for water.C.A rhino and a buffalo were staring at each other.D.A buffalo was teaching its baby to walk freely.CMany people trying to sell homes find that an increase in home prices has turned the market in their favor.But sellers can still get the short end of the deal if they aren't careful.Here are a few tips for you:Don't test your luck.Of course you think anyone who moves into your lovely home should be willing to pay top dollars,especially if you've recently invested in some improvements.But listing a home at a price that's too high above the market price could turn away some buyers.Buyers noticing that the home still hasn't sold may begin to assume there's something wrong with the house and use that as a reasonable excuse for offering a lower price.And if a home hasn't received any offers after two weeks,it might be time to reset the price.A price that's too low can bring about an undesired outcome.Listing your home at or slightly below the market price can have the effect of drawing in a large group of buyers and increase the chances that a home will receive multiple offers.But setting the price too low comes with several risks.One possibility is that buyers will get skeptical of the home that is listed for$15,000to $20,000less than similar homes in the area,especially if it's not properly marketed.Once again, people might assume there is something wrong with the home and may not bother to look at it.Spy on the competition.Going to other people's open houses can give you a better sense of how your home compares to others on the market.Check out the decoration in their kitchens,the size of their backyards and use the information to figure out where your home should fit in the range of the price.But don't set your pricing just on what you see elsewhere.28.What does the underlined part in Paragraph l probably mean?A.Be at a disadvantage.B.Get the upper hand.C.Have control over the situation.D.Be unable to fit in.29.What should home sellers do according to the passage?A.Price your house on the basis of its geographic location.B.Price your house slightly above the market price after decorating it.C.Change the price if no offer has been received within a week.D.Price your house at or slightly below the market price.30.If you set the price of your house too low,.A.buyers might think it not worthwhile to go to have a lookB.you are likely to come into conflict with the neighborhood sellersC.your house will be crowded with buyers within a couple of daysD.chances of your house being sold at a better price will be greatly increased31.What is the benefit of going to other people's open house?A.You can pick up some useful lessons on house selling.B.You can get your pricing mainly based on what you see elsewhere.C.You can work out how much money you should ask for your home.D.You can know how to make your house stand out against other houses.DWhat's your favorite type of music?Most people may prefer rock and roll,pop or jazz. These types are most publicized by television and the radio.Country music now would seem to mistakenly belong to the category of rock or pop.Publicity of this category started to drop only after the year2000;however,it did have its peak years just before falling down.What people may not know is that this type of music inspired(促成)rock and roll especially with one of the most important figures in music history-Elvis Presley-who is known as the6/King of Rock and Roll".Elvis used to be very famous at a radio program which broadcast country music back in the late1940s.Country music is influenced by jazz and blues.Rock music is also influenced by jazz and blues so that they may even seem similar.Nowadays,country music is closely related to pop music due to artists'preference and popular demand.Starting from the1980's it slowly divided itself into New and Old Country Music. Legends like Johnny Cash began to slip away because the new understanding of country music actually contains pop and his music just doesn't fit the category.Fortunately,country music is still heavily promoted through websites and reviews.Certain types of music nowadays are linked with different age groups.Classical for the people in the mid19th century,pop in the1920's,and then there's country music.All these types continue to grow and modernize while still appealing to certain age groups.More modern country music compositions tend to become different in their own ways which makes it even harder to identify them as country music while they,again,remain appealing only to certain age groups. Active promoters of country music videos,however,seem to appeal to a large number of age groups especially those active in Australia,for as long as country music isn't mixed with other types,it will eventually regain its charm as music for all ages.32.It can be learned from the first paragraph that country music____.A.is most publicized by television and the radioed to be liked by more people compared to jazzC.has become less popular since the year2000D.should be included in the category of rock or pop33.What is the relationship between rock music and country music?A.Both types influenced the formation of rock and roll.B.Presley turned pop music into country music.C.They are both influenced by jazz and blues.D.The use of the same instruments makes them sound similar.34.Some legends of country music began to slip away because____.A.their songs totally changed the style of country musicB.they began to work on pop music for more profitsC.there is no marketing space for country music anymoreD.they can't meet the popular demands on country music35.The author seems to believe that____.A.country music should keep its own style to attract more listenersB.it's necessary for country music to be mixed with other typesC.only a certain age group of people will like country music in the futuremon characteristics can be found in all modern music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。

湖南省长沙市长郡中学2024-2025学年高三上学期月考试卷（一）英语试卷一、阅读理解As Pakistan and China are marking 2023 as a Year of Tourism, Pakistan’s breathtaking natural beauty, diverse cultural heritage and historical landmarks are all set to catch the attentionof tourists.Balochistan: Nature’s Bounty UnveiledStretching across vast expanses, Balochistan is Pakistan’s largest province, boasting not only abundant mineral resources but unique natural beauty. Its mountain ranges, mines and extensive coastal belt, which is home to the prosperous Gwadar Port, attract adventurers.Punjab: A Tapestry of History and HeritageIn the heart of Pakistan lies Punjab province, a land of green agricultural fields, intricate (交错的) river networks, ancient forts and charming Mughal-era gardens. Over two millennia (千年) ago, the Gandhara Buddhist civilization thrived in northern Pakistan, with Taxil a serving as its primary center of learning.Sindh: A Tapestry of History and CultureSindh, in Pakistan’s southern region, weaves together a tale of history and natural beauty. Itis home to the ancient city of Mohenjo-Daro, a relic of the Indus Valley Civilization, along with the modern city of Karachi and its picturesque coastline.Northern Pakistan: Nature’s MasterpieceSpread over 72,496 square kilometers, Pakistan’s northern regions are a masterpiece of nature. Among towering peaks, including numerous summits over 8,000 meters, peaceful valleys like Gilgit, Hunza and Skardu offer a brief escape.As Pakistan invites the world to explore its diverse and fascinating landscapes, it also extends a warm invitation to discovery the history, spirituality and natural wonders that define this remarkable nation.1．As a Buddhist, your favorite destination in Pakistan might be __________.A．Balochistan B．Punjab C．Sindh D．Gilgit2．What do the four parts have in common?A．Natural beauty.B．Historical origin.C．Cultural relics.D．Diverse resources.3．The passage serves as a(n) __________.A．guidance B．introduction C．commercial D．noticeThere comes a time when the old must give way to the new, and it is not possible to preserve everything from our past as we move towards the future. Finding and keeping the right balance between progress and the protection of cultural sites can be a big challenge.Big challenges, however, can sometimes lead to great solutions. In the 1950s, the Egyptian government wanted to build a new dam across the Nile in order to control floods, produce electricity, and supply water to more farmers in the area. But the proposal led to protests. Water from the dam would likely damage a number of temples and destroy cultural relics that were an important part of Egypt’s cultural heritage. After listening to different voices, the government turned to the United Nations for help in 1959.A committee was established to limit damage to the Egyptian buildings and prevent the loss of cultural relics. The group asked for contributions from different departments and raised funds within the international community. Experts investigated the issue, conducted several tests, and then made a proposal for how the buildings could be saved. Finally, a document was signed, and the work began in 1960.The project brought together governments and environmentalists from around the world. Temples and other cultural sites were taken down piece by piece, and then moved and put back together again in a place where they were safe from the water. In 1961, German engineers moved the first temple. Over the next 20 years, thousands of engineers and workers rescue d 22 temples and countless cultural relics. Fifty countries donated nearly $80 million to the project. When the project ended in 1980, it was considered a great success. Not only had the countries found a path to the future that did not run over the relics of the past, but they had also learnt that it was possible for countries to work together to build a better tomorrow.The spirit of the Aswan Dam project is still alive today. If a problem seems too difficult for a single nation, the global community can sometimes provide a solution.4．What was the major concern regarding the construction of the new dam?A．The damage to local farms.B．The high cost of the construction.C．The disapproval of local communities.D．The potential harm to cultural remains.5．How were the cultural sites rescued?A．By rebuilding similar cultural sites.B．By building fences around them.C．By taking them down into pieces.D．By removing and piecing them together again.6．Which of the following best describes the Aswan Dam project?A．International cooperation is not necessary for large-scale projects.B．It is possible to achieve progress without sacrificing cultural heritage.C．The opinions of experts should be ignored in favor of popular opinion.D．Countries should always prioritize their own interests over global concerns.7．What is the key to the success of the Aswan Dam project?A．Trial and error.B．Adequate investment.C．Global cooperation.D．Careful investigation.Since the last ice age, humans have cleared nearly half of the earth’s forests and grasslands for agriculture. With the world population expanding, there’s ever-increasing pressure on farmland to produce not only more food but also clean energy. In places such as Yakima County, Washington, it’s created competition for space as land-hungry solar panels (板) consume available fields. Last month, the state approved plans to cover 1,700 acres of agricultural land with solar panels, fueling concerns over the long-term impacts of losing cropland.A recent study from the University of California, however, shows how farmers may soon harvest crops and energy together. One researcher, Majdi Abou Najm, explains that visible light spectrum (光谱) can be separated into blue and red light waves, and their photons (光子) have different properties. Blue ones have higher energy than red ones. While that gives blue light what is needed to generate power, it also results in higher temperatures. “From a plant angle, redphotons are the efficient ones,” says Abou Najm. “They don’t make the plant feel hot.”A goal of the study is to create a new generation of solar panels. He sees potential in the organic solar cells, which come from carbon-based materials. Thin and transparent, the cells are applied like a film onto various surfaces. This new technology could be used to develop special solar panels that block blue light to generate power, while passing the red light on to crops planted directly below. These panels could also provide shade for heat-sensitive fruits during the hottest part of the day.By 2050, we’ll have two billion more people, and we’ll need more food and more energy. By maximizing the solar spectrum, “we’re making full use of an endlessly sustainable resource,” says Abou Najm. “If a technology kicks in that can develop these panels, then the sky is the limit on how efficient we can be.”8．What problem does the first paragraph focus on?A．Losing cropland to solar panels.B．Distribution of the world population.C．Reduction in forests and grasslands.D．Competing for land between farmers.9．What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 2 refer to?A．Generation of solar power.B．Hot weather increasing efficiency.C．Blue photons having higher energy.D．Separation of visible light spectrum.10．What do we know about the organic solar cells?A．They make fruits heat-sensitive.B．They can cool down in hot days,C．They allow red light to pass through.D．They can store carbon-based materials.11．What does Abou Najm think of the future of the new solar panels?A．Limited.B．Promising.C．Uncertain.D．Challenging.While Industry 5.0 is believed to have started in 2020, the rise of AI in recent years has led experts to say it is now coming. Imagine AI-powered robots that see, hear, touch and more, pooling fresh data from across those groups of sensors to create that data with the vast ranges of digital data stored elsewhere online. The age is a major leap from the First Industrial Revolution, when steam engine started to achieve widespread commercial use.Professor John Nosta says, “The integration of sensory capabilities into AI models is not merely a technological leap. It represents a shift in our philosophical understanding of artificial and human intelligence.”He has also referred to the new era as “the Cognitive (认知) Age,” which will completely change how humans live, work, and think about themselves. According to Nosta, humans don’t typically think of computers as “experiencing” the world themselves. But that assumption will be challenged as more advanced AI systems are hooked up to ever more and ever greater sensors. The machines won’t just be logic boxes that humans input data and commands for processing. The AI will collect that data more and more on its own, experiencing the world for itself.“This is not just about understanding words, but also about grasping the tone, pitch (音高), and emphasis, which add layers of meaning often absent in written text. Image recognition adds another layer of complexity,” he added. “For example, it can analyze photographs, identify objects, and even understand the emotional content of facial expressions.”The Johannesburg-based business school is just one of many college-level programs attempting to investigate and teach its students about the still-emerging IR 5.0. Seton Hall in New Jersey offers a three-credit course on this latest age in human technology and trade; MIT has brought in guest speakers to lecture on the concept, and many other research institutions are following suit.12．Where does IR 5.0 differ from previous industrial revolution?A．It processes data and commands.B．It interacts with humans through texts.C．It enhances human sensory capabilities.D．It employs more senses in its application. 13．Why is IR 5. 0 called the Cognitive age?A．AI collects and interprets data itself.B．AI turns written texts into voice.C．AI understands written language well.D．AI has an ability of expressing emotions 14．How do some colleges address IR 5.0?A．By offering related courses.B．By expecting more industrial revolution.C．By applying AI to the technological trade.D．By preparing for the rapid economic changes.15．What is the best title for the text?A．Al Is Approaching Us Gradually B．A New IR Is About Machine LearningC．AI Has Developed Its Own Senses D．We Are Entering IR 5.0 NowPursue Y our Dreams Today, Not TomorrowHave you caught yourself daydreaming about your dreams? We often postpone our dreams, trapped in a cycle of delay. But why wait? 16 You don’t have to take a huge, life-changing step. You can take minute steps toward a brighter future. And start right now.17 If you never try, you’re going to be weighed down by your regrets. You’re always going to wonder how your life would’ve turned out if you actually took a chance on yourself. Don’t let your future self be disappointed by your present self.It doesn’t matter how old you are or how many people have warned you that you’re never going to succeed. Even the most successful people have had their hesitations about whether they had what it took to make it in their field. 18 Embrace a mindset of determination, knowing that success is within your reach.At the end of the day, you need to carve out a path for yourself that will lead to the most satisfaction. If you allow your fear to get the best of you, you’re never going to forgive yourself.19 . It’s what you would encourage your friends to do, so why aren’t you giving yourself that same push?Sometimes, following your passion means spending a lot of your time each day. It may require making slight adjustments to your schedule, but you don’t have to sacrifice everything to follow your hearts. Try to strike a balance between your current life and your dreams. 20 Pursue your dreams now, even though that means you might need to break out of your comfort zone, and even though it means entering the unknown.A．Ask yourself what would be worse.B．Starting small is completely acceptable.C．You owe it to yourself to go after your dreams.D．New opportunities may lead to personal growth.E．If things go well, you can gradually make further shifts.F．You need to move past your insecurities and explore your full potential.G．Hard as it is, it’s crucial to wave off the doubts in the back of your mind.二、完形填空As a first-generation Asian immigrant(移民)who had grown up in poverty, I knew I was beyond 21 to be admitted into Harvard.
