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。

Except for the lava (熔岩) erupting behind her, she could be walking in the park. The woman turns to watch the molten rock flow for a moment then walks calmly toward the camera. The footage(镜头) is from Werner Herzog’s book to volcanoes and volcano hunters, Into the Inferno, and the woman pictured is perhaps one of the most important volcanologists of all time, Katia Krafft.Born in France, in 1942, Katia developed an interest in volcanoes at an early age. Later, she met Maurice Krafft. The pair bonded over their shared love of volcanoes before marrying in 1970. The Kraffts wrote about 20 books on volcanoes across the globe.Katia and her husband made great progress in educating the general public in volcanology. Their footage had more than scientific value. For instance, when Mount Pinatubo in the Philippines began to show signs of an eruption in 1991, the Kraffts were able to present Philippine President Cory Aquino with video footage of the effects of the 1985 eruption of Nevado del Ruiz in Colombia, asking him to call for an evacuation of those in the danger zone.In 1969, Katia was awarded the prize of the Vocation Foundation for her work on active volcanic sites.The couple lost their lives, along with more than 40 others during the eruption of Mount Unzen in Japan onJune 3.1991. when they were caught in a flow of rock, gas and ash moving at speeds of over 100 miles per hour, with temperatures of more than 800 degrees Fahrenheit. Katia was 49; Maurice, 45.Katia’s impact on volcanology has reached far beyond her death and has encouraged many young women to study our restless planet. “Katia Krafft is definitely the reason why I’m doing this job,” says Carla Tiraboschi, a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Minster, Germany. Carla first saw Katia in a documentary when she was just six or seven years old and has been crazy about volcanoes ever since.4．What can we infer from the book Into the Inferno?A．Its author is Katia Krafft.B．It’s a biography of Katia Krafft.C．It calls on protecting the environment.D．It focuses on volcanoes and their explorers.5．What do we know about the couple?A．They prevented a natural disaster.B．They served as a warning in Japan.C．They helped spread volcano science.D．They covered Mount Pinatubo’s eruption.6．Which can replace the underlined word “evacuation” in paragraph 3?A．Substance.B．Departure.C．Occupation.D．Intervention.7．How did Katia influence Carla Tiraboschi?A．Katia’s death made her restless.B．Katia helped her with her research.C．Katia taught her to make a documentary.D．Katia’s deeds inspired her career choice.CIn ancient Maya civilization, cacao — which chocolate is made from — wasn’t just for the elites (精英). Traces of the sacred plant show up in antiques from all types of neighborhoods and in and around a former Maya city, researchers report in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The finding suggests that, contrary to previous thinking, cacao was consumed at every social level of Maya society.“Now we know that the ceremonies with cacao were likely played out by everyone,” says AnabelFord, an archaeologist at the University of California, Santa Barbara. Cacao was sacred to the ancient Maya, consumed in ceremonies and used as a currency. The cacao tree itself was linked to Hun Hunahpu, a Mayan god. Previous research found cacao in burials (墓地), suggesting that its use was restricted to those at the top.To explore the extent to which cacao was used in broader Maya society, Ford and colleagues examined 54 antiques dating from A．D．600 to 900. The antiques come from jars, mixing bowls, serving plates and vases thought to be drinking vessels. All the pieces were found in residential and ceremonial civic areas of varying size and status from city centers, foothills, upland areas and the valley around the former Maya city of El Pilar, on the present-day border of Guatemala and Belize.To identify cacao, the researchers searched for theophylline, a compound found in trace amounts in the plant. The team found the compound on more than half of the samples, on all types of antiques and distributed throughout social contexts.Future research will move beyond who consumed cacao and explore the role of farmers in managing the critical resource. “A better question is to understand who grew it,” Ford says, because those people probably had greater access to the valuable commodity.8．What do traces of cacao found in Mayan antiques indicate?A．Cacao was once unique to Maya society.B．Cacao was only available to wealthy Mayan people.C．Cacao was accessible to Mayan ordinary people.D．Cacao left more traces in the Mayan city center.9．What can we learn from the first two paragraphs?A．There is no need to do further research on cacao.B．Mayan people liked eating chocolate very much.C．Mayan festivals were the same as those of the modern times.D．There were some limitations in previous research about cacao.10．Why did Ford and his colleagues examine 54 antiques?A．To make copies of Mayan antiques.B．To learn about the Mayan eating habits.C．To find out cacao’s relationship with the religion.D．To know about Mayan social groups of cacao use.11．Which of the following will be the focus of the research about cacao?A．The varieties of cacao.B．Ways cacao was spread out.C．Cacao tree growers.D．The cacao’s value.DElectric vehicles (EVs) now are not practical for long-distance travel due to the need for repeated or lengthystops at charging stations. But what if they could — like planes being refueled in the air from another aircraft — get a charge-on-the-go?The idea sounds impossible, but there are already technologies in use that would help charge specialized vehicles. With rural electric charging stations almost non-existent, Swarup Bhunia and engineers at the University of Florida, Gainesville, are suggesting that “car-to-car charging” and “mobile charging stations” could likely solve this problem faster than the sudden increase of charging points or battery advancements.Along with mobile charging stations idea, Bhunia believes that if more and more people buy electric cars, it would be super-efficient if all cars on road could share charge with one another. What Bhunia and his team are describing is a cloud system that examines all of the EV drivers on the road, where they are going, and how much charge each vehicle has. The cloud then determines, for example, that EV-A has an 89% battery charge, but requires only 4% to reach its destination, while EV-B has a 22% battery charge, yet requires 31% to reach its destination. If the two EVs are going in the same direction, the system would instruct them to carry out the charge transfer. The system would then link the provider with the receiver, and a credit system would ensure that everyone is paying for the charge they use.Inside the given traffic network, every vehicled charge could be examined against each vehicle’s demand, and “mobile charging stations,’’ which would be large automated trucks with onboard charging equipment to fill in the demand gaps.“We imagine a safe and firm telescopic arm (伸缩臂) carrying the charging cable,’’ said Bhunia, describing how to get one charge into another car while running down the freeway, much like to aircraft during mid-air refueling. After two EVs lock speed and are in range for charge sharing, they will extend their charging arms. 12．To realize long-distance travel for EVs faster, Bhunia agrees with .A．stops at charging stations B．mobile charging stations.C．increase of charging points D．battery advancements13．According to the text, the cloud system can .A．determine where EVs are going and how EVs will be chargedB．figure out how much charge a car need to reach its destinationC．work out the problems drivers meet when a charge transfer occursD．guarantee that all the drivers are paying for the charge they get14．What are mobile charging stations?A．Power plants for the charge transfer.B．Charging equipment to fill in the charge gaps.C．Vehicles providing charge for other cars.D．Trucks getting charges from other vehicles.15．Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A．Can we charge EVs with car-to-car mobile charging?B．Can charging points be a possible way to charge EVs?C．How does a cloud system make charging EVs easier?D．How do we charge EVs with mobile charging stations?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。

江苏省南京市，盐城六校联合体学校2023-2024学年高二下学期期末考试英语试题一、阅读理解Copenhagen is an ideal destination for food-loving travellers, but there are many gastronomic (美食的) adventures that await visitors outside this capital city of Denmark. Here are some experiences in the capital and beyond.Enjoy a Baltic beach relaxation in BornholmBeloved by Danes for its sandy beaches and fishing harbours, the island of Bornholm is distinguished by more sunshine time than anywhere else in the country. It’s an attractive dining destination, with traditional smokehouses offering local delicacies. But it’s Kadeau, a restaurant, that really puts Bornholm on the food map.Have some street food in CopenhagenEnjoy flavours from all corners of the globe at Reffen. Found in the former industrial site of Refshaleøen, this street food market is an exciting hangout with a rainbow of cuisines from Thai to Kurdish. Just across a river, Torvehallerne is the place for a bite. Further south, BaneGaarden is hidden in leafy railway sidings at Vesterbro, and offers soul food from the Deep South of the US.Take a getaway at a castle in ZealandOn the island, one of Denmark’s oldest castles overlooks the scenic northwest coast. The beautiful 13th-century Dragsholm Slot is now a luxury hotel with one of the most well-known restaurants in Zealand — Dragsholm Slot Gourmet. It holds a Michelin star, led by chef Jeppe Foldager who serves seasonal cuisine with materials farmed and hunted from the surrounding fields, forests and sea. For a less pricey meal, the castle has the farm-to-table Bistro and casual Madhus, where visitors can enjoy drinks, snacks and light meals.1．What makes Bornholm unique in Denmark?A．The longer sunshine hours.B．The traditional Dane foods.C．The attractive smokehouses.D．The beautiful seaside scenery.2．Which place offers worldwide food options?A．Kadeau.B．Reffen.C．Torvehallerne.D．BaneGaarden.3．What do we know about Dragsholm Slot Gourmet?A．It was once a castle.B．It features light meals.C．It offers locally grown food.D．It is famous in Denmark.One Saturday in December, Annacarin Elf, the head of operations at Gothenburg City Library, just happened to walk by her workplace. Noticing that the door was open, she entered the library, and was astonished to see the heartwarming scene that people were using it like on a regular day.It was scheduled to be closed for the New Year holiday. The people in the library behaved as usual. Many were sitting reading newspapers, some families were in the children's section and others were searching for books on the computer.It seemed that Elf's colleagues had simply forgotten to lock the door, and because this popular library is usually open on Saturdays. visitors just assumed they could walk in. Elf called to check with her staff team, before announcing to the people present that the library was about to close. Then she expressed her regret for what had been done wrong and caused them a problem. It later turns out that 446 locals visited the city library borrowing a total of 246 books during the day. What's remarkable is that people checked out their books through the library's electronic self-service system, and that to date, all the books have been retuned!Many Swedes have reacted positively to this uplifting demonstration of local respect for the library, a center that can be seen as a sign of the community, and what the locals did has strengthened their sense of belonging in their community.Elf says, “Nothing was destroyed. It's amazing that Gothenburgers entered an empty library and treated and so lovingly.” The city leader has even suggested that this unusual Saturday serve as an accidental experiment to analyse the possibility of operating a totally automated library without staff.4．Why did Elf feel surprised after entering the library?A．The library staff were in it.B．People kept reading on holidays.C．People came in without permission.D．It was used though supposed to be closed. 5．What did Elf do that Saturday?A．She left the library open.B．She asked the staff back.C．She apologized to the visitors.D．She read books in the library.6．What do many Swedes think of the behavior of Gothenburg locals?A．It displays community spirit.B．It gives the library much uplift.C．It is a positive reaction to society.D．It strengthens trust between people. 7．What does the author want to convey through the story?A．People tend to show care for others.B．Life is always full of the unexpected.C．Libraries can be automated sometimes.D．A library can bring out the best in people.Looking up at the sky during early spring, you may see groups of birds moving as they migrate (迁徙) north. But how do these creatures fly in such a cooperative and seemingly effortless fashion?“The answer lies in aerodynamics (空气动力学),” reports a team of scientists from New York University(NYU)in a newly published study. They also found that the impact of aerodynamics depends on the size of the flying group—benefiting small groups and disturbing large ones.To mimic (模仿) the flying patterns of birds in which they line up one directly behind the other, the researchers created mechanized wings. They were 3D-printed from plastic and driven by motors to move in water, which showed how air flows around bird wings and how they interact during flight. For smaller groups, the researchers discovered an effect by which each member gets help from the aerodynamics in holding its position relative to its neighbors. For larger groups, however, these flying interactions cause later members to be thrown out of position, causing a breakdown of the flying patterns due to crashes among members.The researchers then used mathematical modeling to better understand the underlying forces. It indicates that the interactions between neighbors are spring-like forces. However, these “springs” act in only one direction—a lead bird can apply force on its followers, but not the other way around. “The spring-like forces move the members back and forth and then travel down the group and increase in intensity, causing later members to crash together, explains Leif Ristroph, an associate professor at New York University.“This area of research is important since animals are known to take advantage of the flowsto save on the energy or to reduce drag or resistance,” explains Leif Ristroph. “Our work may also have applications in transportation—like efficient speeding through air or water—and energy, such as more effectively harvesting power from wind or waves.”8．What is the major focus of the NYU researchers’ study on birds?A．The migration patterns of birds.B．The flying routes in early spring.C．The benefits of smaller bird grouping.D．The aerodynamic effects on bird groups. 9．How do flying interactions affect smaller groups of birds?A．They lead to a breakdown.B．They disturb the formation.C．They help each member in position.D．They cause crashes among members. 10．Why does the author mention “springs” in paragraph 4?A．To make a contrast.B．To explain a principle.C．To put forward a theory.D．To present new evidence.11．According to Leif Ristroph, what might be a potential application of this research?A．Relieving public traffic jams.B．Improving harvest of solar energy.C．Changing migration routes of birds.D．Decreasing air resistance of planes.A colleague recently sent me an article, Cutting back on waste is possible — if you can afford it, to read. It argued that reducing waste-food related, in particular — is an expensive effort and a near impossibility for anyone working low-wage jobs with little extra time. The conclusion ? Zero waste is something only suitable for people who can afford, not for those who are struggling to get by.However, I take issue with the idea that zero waste must be all or nothing. I think this is an unfortunate mentality that prevents valuable progress toward reducing one’s food-related waste. When we get too hung up on the idea of so-called zero waste and of being like the zero waste superstar Bea Johnson who can fit years of trash in a single jar, we start missing the broader point. The goal, after all, is to make smarter shopping decisions and establish practices that are sustainable (可持续的) for us, with our own unique resources and living situations.I live in a small rural town with no fancy zero-waste stores. My husband and I both work full-time. I am uninterested in spending my free time doing DIY projects and driving from store to store in search of perfect packaging. Instead, I just do the best I can.When I first read about Bea Johnson’s multi-stop grocery shopping routine, I tried to copy it. That lasted a few weeks before I gave up. Unlike her, I still had babies to look after, and I did not live in San Francisco where stores are closer together than in rural Ontario, Instead, I’ve resigned myself to the supermarket being the main supply of food and trying to work with it.Now, when I enter the supermarket on a once-weekly basis, I view all packaging through a critical eye. I make constant comparisons between how one brand packages its food to another. That is the main factor in deciding what to buy, though I also consider the unit price, the origin and the ingredients.12．What is the idea of the article recommended by the author’s colleague?A．Most people can afford zero waste.B．Food-related waste is unavoidable.C．Cutting down on waste costs much.D．The poor care little about food waste.13．How does the author understand the concept of zero waste?A．It is related to recycling our resources.B．It prevents people from reducing waste.C．It means fitting your trash in a single jar.D．It encourages reasonable green practices.14．Why did the author fail to follow Bea Johnson?A．Her living situations differed from hers.B．She hardly knew about food packaging.C．She didn’t receive her husband’s support.D．Her love for shopping was deeply rooted.15．What’s the best title of the text?A．Live in a Small Town for a Zero-waste LifeB．Forget Zero Waste and Be Better ShoppersC．Take Advantage of Local Zero-waste ShopsD．Stop Wasting and Build a Greener SocietyPeking opera is seen as a national treasure in China. However, due to today’s rapid socialchanges, the art form is becoming more and more isolated, especially from younger generations. Peking opera actress Dong Yuanyuan proposed integrating the art of Peking opera with digital technology to vie (争夺) for more young audience. 16In November 2021, the Digital Mei Lanfang project was launched in Beijing. The late Mei Lanfang (1894—1961) was famous for creating and acting in numerous renowned Peking opera plays. 17 “I got very excited and emotional when I saw that Master Mei was ‘really talking’ to us on stage,” Dong said.In 2022, a Peking opera film was also shot with the virtual techniques. This has provided a very different experience for opera-lovers and aroused the interest of some young people. 18 In addition, more flexible means should be adopted to promote Peking opera. Dong suggests that traditional artistic elements, such as tunes from Peking opera, could also be used in pop songs in an ancient Chinese style. 19 They have not only helped audience familiarize with Peking opera, but also popularized the art form in a way easily accepted by young people.A digital human is a human being that exists in the digital world. It is created by making digital copies of the movements of the target and then accurately reconstructing the figure in the digital world. 20 When making the digital image of Master Mei, it was very difficult to imitate his facial expressions and voice as well as the materials his costumes were made out of since they had been lost to time. So there is still a long way to go before a digital Peking opera human with real-time interaction capability is created.A．The result was very satisfying.B．The popularity of digital technology is obvious.C．However, there are many obstacles to overcome.D．There is no doubt that young people like pop music most.E．This might be one of the most effective ways to solve the problem.F．Now, digital technology made him appear before the audience again.G．So far, a dozen such songs have been very well-received by young people.二、完形填空It was late November.

As the only girl in a family of seven children，she often felt like she had “seven fathers”，because her six brothers，as well as her father，tried to control her. Feeling shy and unimportant，she retreated(躲避) into books. Despite her love of reading，she did not do well in elementary school because she was too shy to participate.In high school，with the encouragement of one particular teacher，Cisneros improved her grades and worked for the school literary magazine. Her father encouraged her to go to college because he thought it would be a good way for her to find a husband. Cisneros did attend college，but instead of searching for a husband，she found a teacher who helped her join the famous graduate writing program at the University of Iowa. At the university’s Writers’ Workshop，however，she felt lonely—a Mexican American from a poor neighborhood among students from wealthy families. The feeling of being so different helped Cisneros find her “creative voice.”“It was not until this moment when I considered myself truly different that my writing acquired a voice. I knew I was a Mexican woman，but I didn’t think it had anything to do with why I felt so much imbalance in my life，but it had everything to do with it! That’s when I decided I would write about something my classmates couldn’t write about.”Cisneros published her first work，The House on Mango Street，when she was twenty-nine. The book tells about a young Mexican American girl growing up in a Spanish­speaking area in Chicago，much like the neighborhoods in which Cisneros lived as a child. The book won an award in 1985 and has been used in classes from high school through graduate school level. Since then，Cisneros has published several books of poetry，a children’s book，and a short story collection.24．Which of the following is TRUE about Cisneros in her childhood?A．She had seven brothers. B．She felt herself a nobody.C．She was too shy to go to school. D．She did not have any good teachers.25．The graduate program gave Cisneros a chance to ________.A．work for a school magazine B．run away from her familyC．make a lot of friends D．develop her writing style 26．According to Cisneros，what played the decisive role in her success?A．Her early years in college. B．Her training in the Workshop.C．Her feeling of being different. D．Her childhood experience. 27．What do we learn about The House on Mango Street?A．It is quite popular among students.B．It is the only book ever written by Cisneros.C．It wasn’t a success as it was written in Spanish.D．It won an award when Cisneros was twenty-nine.CHoney (蜂蜜) from the African forest is not only a kind of natural sugar, it is also delicious. Most people, and many animals, like eating it. However, the only way for them to get that honey is to find a wild bees’ nest (巢) and take the honey from it. Often, these nests are high up in trees, and it is difficult to find them. In parts of Africa, though, people and animals looking for honey have a strange and unexpected helper—a little bird called a honey guide.The honey guide does not actually like honey, but it does like the wax (蜂蜡) in the beehives (蜂房). The little bird cannot reach this wax, which is deep inside the bees’ nest. So, when it finds a suitable nest, it looks for someone to help it. The honey guide gives a loud cry that attracts the attention of both passing animals and people. Once it has their attention, it flies through the forest, waiting from time to time for the curious animal or person as it leads them to the nest. When they finally arrive at the nest, the follower reaches in to get at the delicious honey as the bird patiently waits and watches. Some of the honey, and the wax, always falls to the ground, and this is when the honey guide takes its share.Scientists do not know why the honey guide likes eating the wax, but it is very determined in its efforts to get it. The birds seem to be able to smell wax from a long distance away.

Research published in the famous British journal Nature Communications has found that people who displayed higher levels of intelligence were almost 30 percent more likely to wear glasses.The scientists studied the genes of thousands of people between the ages of 16 and 102.The study showed intelligence can be connected to physical characteristics. One characteristic was eyesight. In out of 10 people who were more intelligent, there was a higher chance they needed glasses. Scientists also said being smarter has other benefits. It is connected to better health.It is important to remember these are connections which are not proven causes. Scientists call this correlation. Just because something is connected to something else does not mean one of those things caused the other. And it’s worth noting that what constitutes intelligence is subjective and can be difficult, if not impossible, to measure.Forget genes though. Plenty of proof shows wearing glasses makes people think you are more intelligent, even if you do not need glasses. A number of studies have found people who wear glasses are seen as smarter, hard-working and honest. Many lawyers use this idea to help win their cases. Lawyer Harvey Solves explained this. Glasses soften their appearance. He said Sometimes there has been a huge amount of proof showing that people he was defending broke the law. He had them wear glasses and they weren’t found guilty.Glasses are also used to show someone is intelligent in movies and on TV. Ideas about people who wear glasses have begun to shift. People who do not need glasses sometimes wear them for fashion only. They want to look worldly or cool. But not everyone is impressed by this idea, though. GQ magazine said people who wear glasses for fashion are trying too hard to look smart and hip (时髦的). However, that hasn’t stopped many celebrities from happily wearing glasses even if they do not need them. Justin Bieber is just one high-profile fan of fashion glasses.32.

Indifferent.其次节(共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分)依据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项.选项中有两项为多余选项.Roger Sperry and Robert Ornstein of the California Institute of Technology, Nobel Prize winners, discovered that the human brain has two sides, and each side has different work to do.The left side of the brain controls language and number and it analyses and reasons. 36 It controls our appreciation of music and our sense of rhythm. It is also the right side of our brain which daydreams.Leonardo da Vinci was the great painter and sculptor. He was also an architect, a scientist and an inventor! 37 When he invented machines he used both his imaginative ability and his analytical （分析）ability.38 Albert Einstein enjoyed art, playing the violin and sailing. Indeed, Einstein said his scientific discoveries grew from his imagination rather than from analysis, reason and language. He said that written and spoken words were not important in his thinking. The story goes that Einstein was daydreaming one summer's day while sitting on a hill. He imagined that he was riding on sunbeams to the far distance of the universe. Then he found that he had returned to the sun. So he realized that the universe must curve（弯曲）. 39 He then used the left side of his brain to apply analysis, number and reason. And finally he used language to explain it.Traditional education in schools encourages us to use the left side of our brains. Language, number, analysis and reason are given more importance in our schools than imagination and daydreaming. Why don't we give more value to visual thinking? Why jump on one foot if we have two perfectly good legs!40 We need to use our imagination to think of solutions to problems and to enjoy emotional and artistic experiences. And we need to be logical and to be ableto analyze and organize in order to survive day by day.A. We benefit by thinking creatively.B. We all need both sides of our brain.C. He got this idea by using his imagination.D. Great scientists and great artists are similar.E. He was considered crazy for his strange ideas.F. He used both sides of his brain within each activity.G. The right side controls our imagination and our understanding of space. 其次部分英语学问运用（共两节，满分55分）第一节完形填空（共20小题，每小题2分，满分40分）Brandon and Derek's mother, Beth Lash, shared a Facebook video on Dec. 25, 2024.
