高二下学期英语期末考试试题（附答案）一、阅读理解（共15小题，每小题2分，共30分）（共4题；共30分）1.阅读理解On 29 May last year, I was doing my swim training for a half Ironman race in the bay near my home.I was finishing my first loop (圈) when I felt jaws coming around my body and a sharp pain. The water was dark, so I couldn't see anything. It just came out of nowhere and then it was gone in a flash. I knew it was something really big and assumed it was a shark. I panicked, but knew I needed to get out of the water. I was kicking wildly in case it came back. There was a lifeguard boat close by, so I waved my arms in the air and screamed for help. It got to me within 20 seconds. At that point I didn't feel anything; adrenaline (肾上腺素) had taken over. The lifeguards held me under the arms and pulled me up out of the water. Then the pain kicked in and it was pretty hard to bear. Some muscle had been bitten off my right arm. I felt a lot of warm, gushing blood.My chest felt heavy, as if someone had put their foot on it, and I was having trouble breathing. It was extremely painful. When I got to the hospital, I told the nurses to put me to sleep because of the pain. I just wanted them to fix me.I woke up after surgery four hours later. My doctor was amazed when I managed to move my fingers: the bite just missed a major nerve. My right lung had been damaged; I had several broken bones and a nerve in my leg was cut, so I have reduced feeling at the top of my leg. The shark also bit through my upper back muscle.Local experts determined that the shark was probably 9-10 feet long. It was young, about seven years old. It just attacked me, left and didn't come back because it figured I wasn't food.根据短文内容，选择最佳答案，并将选定答案的字母标号填在题前括号内。

辽宁省大连市2023~2024学年高二下学期期末考试英语英语试卷一、阅读理解The World’s 4 Best Long-distance HikesSeveral new long-distance, multi-day hikes have been launched that promise visitors unique access to previously inaccessible areas, where natural landscapes and local cultures arefound.Juliana TrailSlovenia introduced the Juliana Trail in an attempt to get visitors to stay there longer and visit more. The 270km route begins at the adventure center of Kranjska Gora, near the Italian border, before circling around the Julian Alps past turquoise rivers and glacier-carved lakes. The trail is divided into 16 stages, so you can choose a shorter adventure or tackle the entire trail.Red Sea Mountain TrailMainland Egypt’s first long-distance hiking path, the Red Sea Mountain Trail links a series of ancient trade routes into a single 170km circuit that takes an average of 10 days to complete. Hikes brave enough to set off into this remote wilderness will skirt vast plain, dip into deep gorges and summit barren peaks to visit ruined Roman towns and prehistoric rock art.Paparoa Track The 5km Paparoa Track in New Zealand snakes into the rainforests of the South Island near the famous Pancake Rocks. The freshly carved trail typically takes three days on foot, or two days on a mountain bike. Along the way, you pass river gorges and hilltop lookouts with expansive views over the turquoise Tasman Sea.Liechtenstein TrailLiechtenstein celebrated its 300th birthday in 2019 by crafting a 75km walking path where citizens and visitors alike could explore three centuries of local history. The Liechtenstein Trail twists over peaks and pastures on a route that takes in 147 sites. The zigzagging north-south route takes about three days to complete.1．Why did Slovenia launch the Juliana Trail?A．To show the beauty of the Italian border.B．To attract tourists to visit Slovenia more.C．To protect the environment of the Julian Alps.D．To promote the development of local economy.2．Which is the shortest trail?A．Juliana Trail.B．Paparoa Track.C．Liechtenstein Trail.D．Red Sea Mountain Trail.3．What is special about LiechtensteinTrail?A．It offers a window into local history.B．Visitors have access to prehistoric rock art.C．Hikers can ride a mountain bike on the trail.D．It takes visitors through fascinating valleys.Born in 1958 in Nanning, Guangxi, Dr. Huang Danian became interested in geophysics early. His parents, teaching at a local geological institution, passed the passion down to him. In 1978, Huang was admitted to Changchun Institute of Geology and later taught there. He once wrote that rejuvenating (使恢复活力) the Chinese nation was their generation’s responsibility.In 1992, he went to Britain for further studies. There, he obtained his doctorate in geophysics and joined a local firm. During his time in the UK, Huang’s heart remained devoted to the motherland, frequently flying back to China to attend academic meetings or seminars related to his field. In 2008, he returned to China with great resolution. For him, no matter how successful he was abroad, the biggest satisfaction would be improving his home country.Upon his return to China, he was entrusted to work at Jilin University as a professor and chief scientist in a branch of China’s biggest deep earth exploration program. Over 400 scientists participated in the program, which aimed to fix high-tech cameras on aircraft, ships, and satellites that would enable scientists to see through the earth’s crust (地壳) without digging into it.For seven years, Huang worked racing against time. Many of his co-workers called him a workaholic while he thought he was more like a “lunatic (疯狂的人)”. “China is in urgent need of ‘lunatics’ if it is to become a stronger country. It would be an honor if I could be one of them,” he added. The lunatic’s madness paid off. He and his team helped China greatly narrow its gap with developed countries in obtaining precise data on deep earth exploration. They created a number of China’s No.1s, filling many technical gaps for China’s sky survey, ground detection, and sea exploration.During his whole life, he sought no fame, and always kept the motherland in mind. As a scientist, he fulfilled his dream of rejuvenating the nation with exceptional achievements. 4．Why did Dr. Huang decide to return and work in China?A．To work at Jilin University.B．To attend academic meetings.C．To devote himself to researching.D．To serve his motherland whole-heartedly.5．What did the deep-earth exploration program focus on?A．Discovering new mineral resources.B．Competing with developed countries.C．Equipping various platforms with cameras.D．Helping scientists explore beneath the earth’s crust.6．What did Huang and his team achieve?A．They won many international awards.B．They got accurate data on deep ocean.C．They attained many firsts in relevant fields.D．They helped China overtake developed countries.7．Which of the following can best describe Dr. Huang?A．Committed and patriotic.B．Enterprising and crazy.C．Sensitive and rigid.D．Single-minded and unreliable.Cyber-attacks may sound like something that happens only in Hollywood movies. You picture a team of talented hackers gathered around computer monitors trying to break into a secure bank or some important severs. In reality, cyber-attacks are much less exciting but no less dangerous.Cyber-attacks can happen to anybody. It doesn’t matter who you are; cyber criminals can target you. While many often think hacking victims were clueless abut digital security best practices, this isn’t always the case. True, there are plenty of apparent scams (骗局) that can be easily identified, but there are many attacks that can fool even the skillful computer-users.Criminals create fake websites and email addresses. You may think you are clicking a linkto Dropbox, only to download malware (恶意软件) onto your computer, and may never know when you have visited the wrong site and downloaded an infected file. So, it’s up to you to be vigilant and protect yourself.So you need to learn to recognize the signs of cyber-attacks. First, recognize suspicious activity on your accounts or devices. While some things may be obvious, such as account password changes, others aren’t so easy to spot. And then, you might receive a file from a trusted sender whose mail has been leaked. Sometimes, the data are even real, but the hacker may have inserted a few lines of code that can also infect your computer. You should take the time to check your “Task Manager” to get a sense of what programs are running. Check anything suspicious that’s running in the background. That’s often the sign of malware. Other things to watch out for include: random device or internet slowdown; the software you don’t recognize; inability to access your account or unscheduled shutdowns and restarts.As with everything, prevention is the best medicine. So, instead of waiting for cyber-attacks to hit you, recognize the signs to protect yourself.8．What can we learn from the first two paragraphs?A．Cyber-attacks are not really dangerous.B．Anyone can be subject to cyber-attacks.C．People don’t realize the risk of cyber-attacks.D．Cyber-attacks in Hollywood movies are exciting.9．What does the underlined word “vigilant” in paragraph 3 mean?A．Dismissive.B．Upset.C．Cautious.D．Concerned. 10．How do you find you might be attacked by cyber criminals?A．A trusted friend sent you a file.B．Your internet slows down strangely.C．You can access your account with ease.D．Your account password functions normally.11．What’s the author’s main purpose in writing the text?A．To clarify the definition of cyber-attacks.B．To analyze different types of cyber-attacks.C．To introduce how to identify cyber-attacks.D．To entertain readers with cyber-attacks in movies.China is currently constructing the world’s first commercial underwater data center, which marks a groundbreaking initiative. This project aims to revolutionize the industry by controlling the power of the ocean depths, resulting in significant energy and land savings. With the potential to match the computational abilities of approximately 6 million conventional personal computers, this underwater data center is ready to be a game-changer.The data center modules of China’s underwater facility are being installed on the seafloor at depths of around 35 meters. Designed to withstand harsh underwater conditions, these modules are expected to operate sustainably for up to 25 years. Each waterproof storage module weighs an impressive 1,300 tons and can process over 4 million high-definition images every 30 seconds.One of the most significant advantages of the underwater data center is the ability to use the natural cooling qualities of seawater. By adopting this innovative approach, the data center is estimated to save a remarkable 122 million kilowatt-hours of electricity annually. This achievement in energy efficiency emphasizes China’s commitment to sustainability and educing environmental impact.With the initial arrangement of one storage module in April, 2023 and the recent addition of a second module, the project is well underway. The grand plan aims to have a total of 100 modules fully operational by 2025, marking a significant milestone in sustainable data center development.By choosing an underwater data center, China is actively addressing the challenges of land conservation. Traditional data centers often occupy vast amounts of land. In contrast, this underwater marvel takes up minimal dry space, preserving land for other essential purposes. Additionally, the use of natural sate cooling reduces the stress on traditional energy sources, leading to a significant reduction in carbon emissions. This environmentally conscious approach corresponds with global sustainability goals ad sets an example for the industry to follow. 12．Why is China building the underwater data center?A．To reshape the data center industry.B．To make full use of energy and land.C．To control the power of the ocean depths.D．To improve computers’ computational ability.13．What can be learnt about the underwater data center’s modules?A．They are light and easy to reposition.B．They will be replaced every few years.C．They occupy vast amounts of land and ocean.D．They can sustain operation for long periods.14．What is one impact of using an underwater data center?A．Preventing ocean pollution.B．Worsening the environment.C．Conserving land for other uses.D．Increasing energy consumption. 15．Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A．National Seawater Cooling SystemB．China’s Initiative to Conserve LandC．Land-Based Energy-Efficient Data CentersD．China’s Commercial Underwater Data CenterThe power of positive thinkingIs your glass of milk half-full or half-empty? 16 Do they focus on the positives (a half-full glass) or the negatives (a half-empty one)? Thinking positively, with a belief that most things will turn out well, is called optimism — and it’s known to boost your well-being. The good news is that everybody can learn to think more positively.17Research shows that people who are optimistic and think positively tend to experience less stress and cope well when faced with life’s challenges. People who are more pessimistic (expect that the worst will happen) may find it hard to believe that these challenges will pass.Worrying is like a fire alarm.Everybody can worry from time to time. Worrying can help to keep you safe — if you were never worried and were overly positive about how things would turn out, you wouldn’t recognize risks. “ 18 It’s like a fire alarm,” says child psychotherapist Rachel Melville-Thomas. “The trouble is that sometimes it goes off when there isn’t a huge danger to face.” When this happens, you can feel anxious and hopeless about what lies ahead.Learn to think positively.Optimism is shaped by your genes which carry characteristics inherited from your parents and by what happens to you. 19 Research has shown that it can help to draw or write an outcome that’s positive-for example, an image of you playing guitar, having passed your next grade. 20A．Your genes will in turn help obtain it.B．This question makes you lost in thought.C．Why is thinking positively good for you?D．Imagining this can motivate you to work to achieve it.E．Worrying is our brain warning us of something threatening.F．However, whatever your starting point is, everyone can learn it.G．This saying is often used to test people’s outlook in a situation.二、完形填空I’m pretty good at sticking with things even when they get hard.
