Some take over-the- counter (非非非非) medicines such as aspirin while others try popular home remedies (非非) like herbal tea or chicken soup. Yet here is the tough truth about the common cold: nothing really cures it.So why do people sometimes believe that their remedies work? According to James Taylor, professor at the University of Washington, colds usually go away on their own in about a week, improving a little each day after symptoms peak, so it’s easy to believe it’s medicine rather than time that deserves the credit, USA Today reported.It still seems hard to believe that we can deal with more serious diseases yet are powerless against something so common as a cold. Recently, scientists came closer to figuring out why. To understand it, you first need to know how antiviral (非非非非) drugs work. They attack the virus by attaching to and changing the surface structures of the virus. To do that, the drug must fit and lock into the virus like the right piece of a jigsaw (非非), which means scientists have to identify the virus and build a 3-D model to study its surface before they can design an antiviral drug that is effective enough.The two cold viruses that scientists had long known about were rhinovirus (非非非) A and B. But they didn’t find out about the existence of a third virus, rhinovirus C, until 2006. All three of them contribute to the common cold, but drugs that work well against rhinovirus A and B have little effect when used against C.“This explains most of the previous failures of drug trials against rhinovirus,” study leader Professor Ann Palmenberg at University of Wisconsin-Madison, US, told Science Daily.Now, more than 10 years after the discovery of rhinovirus C, scientists have finally built a highly-detailed 3-D model of the virus, showing that the surface of the virus is, as expected, different from that of other cold viruses.With the model in hand, hopefully a real cure for a common cold is on its way. Soon, we may no longer have to waste our money on medicines that don’t really work.(1)What does the author think of popular remedies for a common cold?A.They are quite effective.B.They are slightly helpful.C.They still need to be improved.D.They actually have no effect.(2)How do antiviral drugs work?A.By breaking up cold viruses directly.B.By changing the surface structures of the cold viruses.C.By preventing colds from developing into serious diseases.D.By absorbing different kinds of cold viruses at the same time.(3)What can we infer from the passage?A.The surface of cold viruses looks quite similar.B.Scientists have already found a cure for the common cold.C.Scientists were not aware of the existence of rhinovirus C until recently.D.Knowing the structure of cold viruses is the key to developing an effective cure.(4)What is the best title for this passage?A.Drugs against cold virusesB.Helpful home remediesC.No current cure for common coldD.Research on cold viruses13.（6分）Wood has many great characteristics that make it the perfect building material.It is cheap，durable，easily available，and most importantly，environmentally sustainable.The one thing it is not，is transparent! Now thanks to a team of scientists at Stockholm’s KTH Royal Institute of Technology the material may even be able to add that feature to its already impressive list.Lead researcher rs Berglund said he was inspired to create the transparent wood after learning how Japanese researchers had developed a see-through paper for use in flexible display screens for electronic devices.The team began by pulling out the wood’s lignin(木质素).The lignin-free wood was then dipped into a polymer(聚合物)and baked at a temperature of 158°F for four hours.The result was a hybrid product that was not only stronger and lighter than the original wood but also，almost transparent.The researchers were able to adjust the level of transparency by varying the amount of the polymer injected and also by changing the thickness of the wood.While scientists have previously created a see-through wood for small-scale applications like computer chips，the transparent wood is the first one being considered for large scale applications.The researchers，who revealed their findings in Biomacromolecules on April 11，picture using the transparent wood in buildings to allow for more natural light，or to create windows that let in the desired amount of light withoutsacrificing privacy.Wood that allows light to pass through could lead to a brighter future for homes and buildings. Berglund also thinks the wood could play a significant role in the design of solar panels.The semitransparent material would be able to keep light longer and give it more time to interact with the conductor，thus resulting in better solar efficiency.Additionally，substituting the currently used glass with this new product would help solar energy manufacturers improve their carbon footprint and lower the cost.They are now experimenting with ways to scale up the manufacturing process so that the transparent material is cost-effective to make and easy to use.1.What does the underlined part“that feature”in Paragraph 1 refer to?A.Cheap.B.Durable.C.Sustainable.D.Transparent.2.Which of the following is true according to the text?A.Berglund got the idea of transparent wood while making paper.B.Varying the amount of the polymer changes the wood’s hardness.C.The transparent wood would be used only for homes and buildings.D.The cost of making the transparent wood still needs to be cut down.3.What is the last paragraph mainly about?A.The bright future of the transparent wood.B.The wood’s role in the design of solar panels.C.The disadvantages of the currently used glass.D.Solar energy manufacturers’ carbon footprint.三、阅读七选五（本题共计1小题，总分10分）14.（10分）When big news breaks,it's easy to get caught up in following the story online.The Internet can be a place to find useful information. 1 Helping kids understand the news and how to separate fact from fiction is an important job for parents and educators.Here’s some advice that parents can offer kids to help them be quicker to judge as they consume news online.2 In the rush to cover stories,reporters make mistakes,officials don't always have correct information and tidbits(八卦新闻）that sound reasonable often get passed around before anyone has checked them for accuracy.Use social media wisely.Some say Twitter is a great source of news in the first few minutes of a tragedy. 3 On the other hand,Facebook can be a great way to connect with friends affected by events in the news and to spread personal news within a more limited circle.Be skeptical. 4 After the Boston Marathon bombing,NBC Sports reported that some runners kept running all the way to the hospital to donate blood for the victims.Not true.There are plenty of websites devoted to exposing false news stories.The Washington Post also has a Fact Checker column that delivers claims made by public officials and politicians.Visit them to find out if a story is true.Keep it age-appropriate.Kids aren’t always ready to digest big tragic news--especially if the news is about kids,such as school shootings or abuses.The constant repetition of information can be confusing for younger kids,and at the beginning of a news event,parents might not be able to offer any correct answers. 5A.Remember,breaking news is often wrong.B.It also can be the source of misinformation.C.If something sounds too good to be true,it probably is.D.The government should take measures to prevent false news.E.However,after that it just becomes messy and largely inaccurate.F.With social media at your fingertips,it's convenient to express your opinion.G.Kids who are eager to learn more about certain events can check kid-guided news sources.四、完形填空（本题共计1小题，总分20分）15.（20分）In the summer before I entered middle school, I read the book They Cage the Animals at Night.

ANational parks are an excellent way to explore all the beauty that the world has to offer:whether it’s endangered species,erupting volcanoes and snowy mountains,or rainforests and lakes.Of the thousands of national parks that exist in the world,these are the ones that should be on everyone’s bucket list.Yorkshire Dales,United KingdomContrary(相反)to the popular link of national parks with the wilderness,it is filled with winding valleys,hills and villages where over24,000people live and work.Visitors can walk through grassland,visit waterfalls or explore underground caves,but Yorkshire Dales is also home to several food shops,and the park hosts cheese festivals and farmers markets regularly,so it’s best to go hungry.Kakadu National Park,AustraliaIt is a delight for those who like a bit of history mixed with the biodiversity of national parks.While it houses thousands of species of wildlife,there’s more to the national park than that.Guilin and Lijiang River National Park,ChinaIt is surrounded by striking natural beauty and can be explored by land.But the river national park,as the name suggests,is best explored through leisurely boat rides that take visitors through many ancient towns that come along the way of the river.Vatnajökull National Park,IcelandHere’s a surprising fact:The whole of Vatnajökull National Park makes up14%of Iceland’s territory!The park is usually open for hikes around the glaciers;boat rides through glacier lakes,and tours that take visitors through the park’s many ice caves,waterfalls,and icebergs.Vatnajökull is also where two of Iceland’s most active volcanoes are located.21.What is recommended for a trip to Yorkshire Dales?A.Recording local customs.B.Skiing in the snowy mountains.C.Going with an empty stomach.D.Watching the eruption of volcanoes.22.Which park is the best choice for observing diverse wildlife?A.Yorkshire Dales.B.Kakadu National Park.C.Vatnajökull National Park.D.Guilin and Lijiang River National Park.23.What do the last two national parks have in common?A.There are many ancient towns.B.There are various ice caves inside.C.They are aimed at protecting rivers.D.They can be explored through boats.BThe sun was rising as we drove across the Minnesota state line to New York for my new PhD program.The move was good for me professionally,but I worried about my husband and daughters.I also feared that I wouldn’t be able to give my kids the childhood they deserved(应得的).Anne,our first daughter,came into the world when I was a junior majoring in biology in college.It was challenging to balance classes,work schedules,and being a mom.But I got through it,finding moments of joy along the way.On the nights when I was home,I’d read my class notes out loud with my daughter.She’d respond by asking questions,such as“Mom,what are bacteria(细菌)?”It helped us both learn.After I graduated,I knew that I would need a PhD to land the kind of job I wanted.I arrived in New York feeling more than the usual new-graduate-student anxiety.I also suffered from a more personal fear that I was being selfish—that my decision to prioritize my career was going to have long-term bad impacts on my kids.So,I made a rule lo never be visibly upset about my work in front of my children.Over the past year,though,I’ve started to let go of some of this worry.I’ve realized that we have not only adapted to our new situation,but things are getting better.My husband landed a job that lie is happy with.Anne dreams of becoming a biologist.Recently,while driving past the cancer institute I work at,Anne said,“Thinking about people having cancer is so sad,but I feel better knowing that you are researching it to help.”Pursuing academic career as a young mother is hard,but it’s also rewarding.My kids are learning to look at the world through science,and watching their mom succeed inspires them.I look forward to seeing them follow ray footsteps,whatever path they choose.24.How did the author feel about the move for her PhD program at first?A.It was fruitful but boring.B.It was hopeful but challenging..C.It was the last thing she would do.D.It was promising for the whole family.25.What does the underlined word“prioritize”in Paragraph3probably mean?A.CreateB.Change.C.Evaluate.D.Emphasize.26.What could be inferred from Anne’s words in Paragraph4?A.She is proud of her mother.B.She is interested in biology.C.Her mother takes her job seriously.D.She is ready to help patients with cancer.27.What might be the best title of the text?A.Ups and Downs in LifeB.Like Mother Like DaughterC.Double Harvests of Mom’s PursuitD.Generation Gap Narrowed by LoveCMore than ten years after introducing“Google Glass”,Alphabet Inc.has created a new kind of smart eyeglasses. The company says the wearable computer device can translate different languages in real time.A working model of the yet-unnamed device was presented to the public last month during the yearly Google conference.Google did not say when the glasses might go on sale to the public.The previous Google Glass device included a wearable camera that could film what the wearers saw.That caused widespread privacy concerns.The camera element also gave Google Glass a kind of science-fiction look.The latest device looks more similar to traditional glasses.A brief demonstration of the new eyeglasses described its translation ability,but did not provide additional details.The company also did not say whether the new device would be equipped with a camera.A demonstration explained that a person,wearing the glasses and talking with someone who speaks a different language,can see the spoken words in their own language.The description showed translations including English,Mandarin,Spanish and American Sign Language.The new device is one of several products shared at the conference that are currently in development.The company says the products aim to better connect Google services with activities happening in the real world.This includes company offerings for searching and viewing maps,as well as other services using the latest developments in artificial intelligence(AI).Eddie Chung,a director of product management at Google,spoke to developers about the new eyeglasses.“What we’re working on is technology that enables us to break down language barriers,taking years of research in Google Translate and bringing that to glasses,”he said.“Apart from breaking down language barriers,another use of these translating glasses is enabling communication with people who are deaf or hard of hearing.While these glasses might not be a revolutionary product like Google Glass,they could provide a relatively simple solution to a real-world problem.”28.What can we learn about the latest smart eyeglasses?A.They will be equipped with a camera.B.They will appear on the market next year.C.They can help users communicate easily.D.They have a kind of science-fiction look.29.What’s the purpose of this text?A.To share a wearable computer device on sale.B.To introduce a new product in development.C.To advertise the smart eyeglasses for sale.D.To show the development of Google Glass Device.30.Who will use the new smart eyeglasses probably?A.A Japanese who will talk with some Frenchmen.B.Professors who research on native languages.C.Tourists who search and view maps in Germany.D.An American deaf boy who will listen to a speech.31.What’s Eddie Chung’s attitude towards the new eyeglasses.A.Favorable.B.Doubtful.C.Opposed.D.Disappointed.DGardeners who use pesticides(杀虫剂)are contributing to the decreasing population of British songbirds,a study suggests.Researchers have advocated stopping using poisonous chemicals in gardens in order to reduce the loss of birds and adopt wildlife-friendly practices instead.The results of the University of Sussex study,which researchers call the first of its kind,were published in the journal Science of the Total Environment.The study,which examined information on pesticide use and garden management from615garden owners in Britain,found32percent of gardens used pesticides,and the number of house sparrows was25%lower when glyphosate-based herbicides was used regularly.Slug pellets(鼻涕虫杀虫剂)also seemed to have an impact on bird sightings;in gardens where Slug pellets were used,house sparrow numbers were down by almost40%.Prof.Dave Goulson,of the school of life sciences at the University of Sussex,said,“The UK has22million gardens,which collectively could be a fantastic shelter for wildlife,but not if they are overly tidy and sprayed with poisons.We just don’t need pesticides in our gardens.Many towns around the world are now pesticide free.We should simply ban the use of these poisons in cities,following the example of France.”The Royal Horticultural Society,the UK’s leading gardening charity,said the use of pesticides and herbicides should be avoided if possible and they should only be used,if ever,in small and targeted applications.The research also found that those who adopted wildlife-friendly practices such as planting native bushes and flowers,or digging a wildlife pond,saw more birds than those who did not.Cannelle Tassin de Montaigu,a PhD researcher within the school of life sciences and an author of the study,said,“It’s encouraging lo find that simple measures,such as planting native bushes and trees and creating a pond,together with avoiding the use of pesticides, really make a measurable difference lo the number of birds you will see in your garden.”32.Why are the data mentioned in Paragraph2?A To help gardeners choose the proper pesticides.B.To compare the effects of two kinds of pesticides.C To reveal the serious influence of pesticides on birds.D To inform readers of the importance of house sparrows.33.What can be inferred from Prof.Dave Goulson’s words?A.Pesticides should be banned from use all over the UK.B.France has already made city regions pesticide free.C.The ideal places for wildlife in the UK are extremely tidy gardens.D.The gardens in the UK are so tidy that pesticides are not needed.34.What is the last paragraph about?A.Other methods to keep gardens tidy.B.Gardeners’attitudes towards the experiment.C.Other researchers’interest in the experiment.D.Additional ways to increase the number of birds.35.In which section of a newspaper can we probably find this text?A.Environment.B.Health.C.Transport.D.Economics.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

湖南省郴州市2023-2024学年高二上学期期中考试英语试卷姓名：__________ 班级：__________考号：__________佳选项。

（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分）阅读理解Books to Read in Your 20sThe Kite Runner By Khaled HosseiniAs a Middle Eastern and North African Studies student, I have a great interest in books about what takes place in this area. I first read this book in high school and really enjoyed it because of its accurate language. If any of you is interested in reading this book and hasn't yet, I highly recommend it.Fire fly Lane By Kristin HannahThis is my favorite book. It is a story about friendship, love and life lessons. The story covers the lives of two best friends, Tully and Kate, from childhood to adulthood. I learned so much about friendship and life. So, read Firefly Lane! You'll laugh, you'll cry, and then you'll share this book to your best friend.Half the Sky By Nicholas KristofFor any person of any age, Half the Sky is a must-read. It describes the struggle of women and the most pressing human rights problems of our time: the common oppression of women and girls.The Little Prince By Antoine de SaintThis children's book is simple. It might seem like a wrong book to recommend to someone in their twenties, but perhaps that's what makes it a good choice. It sings praises to exploration and shows the importance of making friends. 1．Who is the writer of the book The Kite Runner?A．Khaled Hosseini.B．Kristin Hannah.C．Nicholas Kristof.D．Antoine de Saint.2．What can we learn about the book Firefly Lane?A．It's written by Tully and Kate.B．It talks about friendship and life.C．It's a simple book for children.D．It's a comic book with humorous writing.3．Which book will you read if you want to know about human rights problems?A．The Kite Runner.B．Firefly Lane.C．Half the Sky.D．The Little Prince.阅读理解There is an English saying that "Laughter(笑) is the best medicine." Until recently, few people took the saying seriously. Now however, doctors have begun to look into laughter and the effects it has on the human body. They have found that laughter can really improve people's health.Tests were carried out to study the effects of laughter on the body. People watched funny films while doctors checked their hearts, blood pressure, breathing and muscles. It was found that laughter has similar effects to physical exercise. It increases blood pressure, makes the heart beat quicker and makes people breathe deeper; it also works on several groups of muscles in the face, the stomach, and even the feet. If laughter exercises the body, it must be beneficial.Other tests have shown that laughter appears to be able to reduce the effects of pain on the body. In one experiment doctors produced pain in groups of students who listened to different radio programs. The group that tolerated（忍耐）the pain for the longest time was the group which listened to a funny program. The reason why laughter can reduce pain seems to be that it helps to produce a kind of chemical in the brain which diminishes both stress and pain.As a result of these discoveries, some doctors in the United States now hold laughter clinics, in which they help to improve their patients' condition by encouraging them to laugh. They have found that even if their patients do not really feel like laughing, making them smile is enough to produce beneficial effects similar to those caused by laughter. 4．According to the passage, which of the following statements is WRONG?A．Laughter is good for healthB．Laughter can make you become old quicklyC．Laughter helps to reduce pain.D．Laughter, just like physical exercise, is good for our body.5．The underlined word "diminishes" in the third paragraph means "____".A．delays B．prevents C．increases D．reduces6．Why do some doctors hold laughter clinics?A．Because they want to earn more money.B．Because they think they will help the patients recover from illnesses.C．Because they want to improve their patients' condition.D．Because they want their patients to practice how to laugh7．What would be the best title for this passage?A．Both laughter and physical exercise are good for healthB．Laughter clinics help patients improve their conditionC．Laughter can reduce the effects of painD．Laughter is the best medicine.阅读理解Popcorn Park Zoo is not like most zoos. It is a very special place.This unusual place was not originally a zoo. At first it was called the Forked River Animal Care Center. The workers there looked after lost or unwanted cats and dogs. Today the center is part of the zoo, but now many other kinds of animals are helped there, too.The changes to the center began in 1977 when a raccoon(浣熊) needed help. One of its front paws(爪子) had been badly hurt. The workers cared for the animal. Finally it was better, but it could not care for itself. The raccoon was allowed to live there. Then a hurt deer was brought there for help. It, too, stayed there after it got well.Once people heard about the wonderful work being done at the center, they began taking all kinds of hurt or homeless animals there. Soon it was no longer just a home for cats and dogs. So many animals were living there that it became more like a zoo.Popcorn Park Zoo got its funny name because many of the animals there like to eat popcorn made without oil or salt. The popcorn is sold there to help make money to care for the animals. People buy the popcorn to feed the animals as a treat.Popcorn Park Zoo now looks after more than 200 kinds of animals. Many of them live freely there. Some of the gentler ones, such as goats, sheep, geese, and deer, walk among the visitors who come to see them. Others are kept in large closed areas almost like their natural homes. All the animals there get care and love.8．Before 1977, the center was a home for ____.A．lost or unwanted cats and dogsB．hurt or homeless raccoons and goatsC．lost or unwanted deer and sheepD．hurt or homeless raccoons and geese9．How did the workers in the center help the raccoon?A．They changed its front paws.B．They cured it and let it live there.C．They sent it back to its home.D．They built another home just for it.10．The popcorn is sold in Popcorn Park Zoo to ____.A．treat the visitors B．reward the workersC．trick the animals D．raise money11．What can we learn about animals in the zoo from the last paragraph?A．They all live in closed areas.B．Some of them can walk out of the zoo freely.C．All of them are taken good care of.D．Some of them have already returned to nature.阅读理解Fu Yuanhui is China's newest sweetheart. The 20-year-old swimmer from Hangzhou won a bronze medal at the recent Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. But it wasn't the medal that charmed people's hearts, it was Fu's honest remarks and bubbly personality.Climbing out of the pool after a semi-final heat, Fu looked tired and out of breath, and not very happy. She thought her time may not have been good enough to make the final. But the reporter told her otherwise. Fu had just swum a personal best! And it was Fu's reaction (反应) to this news that made everyone fall in love with her.Her eyes got big and smiled. "Wow, I'm so fast!" she said. And she joked with the girl reporter that she must have been helped by her "mystical powers." Later, after the final race, it was the same reporter who again surprised Fu by telling her she'd won a bronze medal. "What? Really?" she said, "That's not so bad, then."Fu worked hard to get to the Olympics and her training, she said, "Even though I did not win a gold medal, I surpassed (超过) myself and I am happy with that."12．What kind of medal did Fu Yuanhui win in the Olympic Games in Brazil?A．The gold medal.B．The silver medal.C．The bronze medal.D．None.13．Why didn't Fu Yuanhui feel happy after the semi-final heat at first?A．Because she didn't feel well.B．Because she thought she didn't do well.C．Because she wasn't satisfied with her reaction.D．Because the reporter asked her an unhappy question.14．The third paragraph tells us Fu Yuanhui ____.A．had an expressive faceB．was satisfied with herselfC．thought the game is unfair for herD．was sorry to get the bronze medal15．We can learn from the underlined words that Fu Y uanhui ____.A．thought she had tried her bestB．thought she was lucky enoughC．wanted to thank the reporterD．planned to win the gold medal二、第二部分，阅读理解，第二节(共 5 小题:每小题 2.5 分, 满分 12.5 分)阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

Before long a fellow in a canoe passed and shouted, "Can I give you a lift to higher ground?""No, thanks," said Smith. "I have faith in God and he will save me."Soon the water rose to Smith's waist. At this point a motor boat pulled up and someone called out, "Can I give you a lift to higher ground?""No, thanks, I have faith in God and he will save me."Later a helicopter flew by, and Smith was now standing on the roof with water up to his neck. "Grab the rope, "shouted the pilot. "I'll pull you up.""No, thanks," said Smith. "I have faith in God and he will save me. "But after hours of struggling with water, poor exhausted Smith drowned and went to his reward. As he arrived at the Pearly Gates, Smith met God and complained about this. "Tell me, God, "he said, "I had such faith in you to save me and you let me drown. What happened?"To which God replied, "What do you want from me?

Some of the things you see give off light of their own. The sun, the stars, a lighted lamp are examples that can be seen by their own light. Such things are luminous. Most of the things you see are not giving off light of their own. They are simply reflecting light that falls on them from the sun or some other luminous bodies. The moon, for example, does not give off any light of its own. It is non-luminous. You see it because sunlight falls on it and some of it reflects in our direction. So moon light is only second hand sunlight.When you look at a book, it sends to your eyes some of the light which falls on it, and you see the book. If light could be kept out from where you are so that there would be no light for the book to reflect, then you could not see the book even with your eyes wide open.Light travels so fast that the time in which it travels from the book you are reading to your eyes is so short as if there were no time at all. Light reaches us from the moon, which is about 380 000 kilometers away, in only a little more than a second.63. You can see the book because_______.A. your eyes are close to itB. it reflects some of the sunlightC. it has light of its ownD. your eyesight can get to it64. The underlined word “luminous” means_______.A. visibleB. all colorsC. giving off lightD. sunlight65. ________ have light of their own.A. The sun and the moonB. The stars and the earthC. The sun and the starsD. The moon and the earth66. Which of the following is true?A. All the things you can see give off light.B. Light from the book is much shorter than that from the moon.C. Light travels so fast that there is no time for you to read.D. The moment you open your eyes the light from the book travels to your eyes.DMost of us know about the Nobel Prize, especially the Nobel Peace Prize, but few of us know anything about the man who set them up. His name was Alfred Nobel. He was a great scientist and inventor himself. Besides, he had a big business. His business may surprise you. He made and sold explosives. Isn’t this something that surprises you? The man who made money from weapons should set up the Peace Prize?Though Alfred Nobel had a lot of money from weapons, he hated war. He hoped that there would be no war in the world. He was one of the richest in Europe. When he died in 1896, he left behind him a lot of money and his famous will. According to his will, most of his money was placed in a fund. He wanted the interest from the fund to be used as prizes every year. We know them as the Nobel Prizes. The Nobel Prizes are international. Alfred Nobel wanted the winners to be chosen for their work, not the country they came from.Alfred Nobel had given his whole life to his studies and work and to the benefits of mankind. He made money all by his own efforts, but he left the world share his wealth. His inventions and wealth stay with the world for ever.67.
