河北省张家口市2023-2024学年高二上学期1月期末考试英语试卷学校：___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解Is there any truth behind the saying “You are what you eat”？ We put this to the test by asking three people to open their fridge doors and talk about their lifestyles.Jenny 31 TeacherMy husband and I avoid all products that come from animals. This means we don't eat meat. We like cooking at home and make our meals from fresh, seasonal fruit and vegetables. Cooking together gives us a chance to relax and catch up on each other's days. If we have children, I want to bring them up just like us, but my husband says that everyone should be able to make their own lifestyle choices.Ted 35 Construction workerEach day at the construction site is more or less the same—tiring! When I get back home, there's nothing more satisfying than a big meat dinner. I guess I've always been a big meat eater and in this house, no family meal is complete without some form of meat. I still don't think that anything can beat my mum's homemade sausages, though.Mike 49 ChefWith five children, we're one big family! My wife and I both work full-time, so life can get pretty busy! Like a lot of chefs I know, I don't really do much cooking at home. Sometimes I bring home food from the restaurant where I work. Once a week, we do a big shop and buy a lot of frozen food. I know we should eat more fresh fruit and vegetables, but ready meals are so convenient.1．What can we learn about Jenny?A. She likes ready meals.B. She has children to bring up.C.

I provide fresh fruit and vegetables for my children.D. It’s convenient to eat foot brought from my workplace.3．What is the type of the text?A. Interview notes.B. A cooking guide.C.

Their hard work has paid off and got beautiful fruit—white and fragrant rice!This is the Second Farm in Xai-Xai. Mozambique, where Yi Yun has been working for six years. The 37-year-old from Liaoning, China. followed his Chinese company here as a project manager. The company runs a project to grow rice on the farm, which covers about 1, 667 hectares.“When we first arrived in 2017, the farm was full of weeds (杂草) , as tall as a man,”said Yi. After clearing the weeds, the company began to teach locals farming skills. “We taught them how to drive tractors (拖拉机) and harvesters, and how to grow rice step by step includi ng sowing seeds and spraying pesticide.”Since 2000, when the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation started, an increasing number of Chinese companies and organizations have gone to Africa to work in the agriculture industry. “We bring in new techniques, equip ment and high-quality seeds,” said Yi.“Local people are happy that we are here because we not only help them solve food problems but also provide job opportunities,” said Yi. “Our farm can employ 500 to 1, 000 local people. Their living conditions have been greatly improved in recent years. Some families have even bought televisions and fridges.”“African people are just as hard-working as the Chinese and also want to pursue a better life. What they need is more opportunities, which China is now helping with. I'm proud of what my country is doing,” Yi said.4．What does paragraph 1 describe?A. A celebration scene.B. A trading scene.C. A working scene.D. A harvest scene.5．What did Yi Yun see when he first arrived at the farm in Mozambique?A. Old tractors.B. Tall weeds.C. Local farmers.D.

They have learned from the Chinese to be hard-working.Esperanto (世界语) was created in the late 1800s by Ludwik Lejzer Zamenhof, a Polish medical doctor. He alone built the basis for the language and helped introduce it into the world.Though Zamenhof's profession was a physician, he was no amateur (外行) in languages. Zamenhol said Russian was his mother tongue—the area of Poland he lived in was then part of the Russian Federation—but he generally spoke Polish everyday. Evidence also shows that he learned Yiddish from his mother and that he studied German, English, Spanlsh, Lithuanian, Italian and French. In addition, Zamenhof learned the classical languages Hebrew, Latin and Aramaic in school. Esperanto was not the first constructed language he'd dealt with. First, he learned a bit of V olapuk (沃拉普克语) . which was invented in Germany a decade before Esperanto, Having command of so many languages had a great impact on his creation of Esperanto, which was Zamenhof's 14th language.During his life, Zamenhof became extremely interested in the idea of creating a tolerant world, free from the horrors (恐怖) of war. He dreamed of a day when people could come together. To make this world a reality, he decided the best thing he could do was make an international language. It would not be anyone's mother tongue, but people can quickly learn it as a second language to make conversation easily with people from anywhere in the world.Why would Zamenhof create Esperanto when English basically already was used as an international language? The problem is that using English gives a huge advantage to people and places that already speak English. Esperanto tries to bypass political and cultural problems by being a neutral (中性的) language. Yet Esperanto is not without flaw. It was strongly influenced by European language, which can put people who speak Asian languages at a distinct disadvantage in learning and speaking Esperanto. Esperanto's simple rules might make it easier to learn than other languages for an Asian speaker, but it still loses some of its “neutrality”.8．Which language was Zamenhof's mother tongue?A. Russian.B. German.C. Spanish.D. Italian.9．Zamenhof was able to create Esperanto because ________.A. he had mastered V olapukB. he had been to many countriesC. he was an amateur in learning languagesD. he was influenced by the 13 languages he had learnt10．What gave Zamenhof the idea of creating Esperanto?A. His family background.B. His desire for a peaceful world.C. His interest in classical languages.D. His experience as an international student. 11．What does the underlined word “flaw” mean in the last paragraph?A. Significance.B. Difficulty.C. Weakness.D. Contribution.From writing Shakespeare-style poetry to making music, ChatGPT has amazed he world since its launch in late 2022 by the US-based company OpenAI. It even passed several law exams in four courses at the Unlversity of Minnesota, US.The AI program can answer questions on a whole host of topics and write essays, stories and any other written texts you can think of. It does this by drawing on information collected from a large corpus (语料库) of text data.What makes ChatGPT so impressive? As Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI said n an interview, “It's not actually a fundamentally new technology that made this (ChatGPT) have a moment.” According to MIT Technology Review, ChatGPT is based on GPT-3, a large language model. Because texts are more complex than the meaning of every word combined, language models require a type of neural network (神经网络) that can make sense of texts.One breakthrough behind today's model is a network called Transformer, which was invented by Google researchers in 2017. The neural network can infer word meanings by tracking where the word appears in a sentence. Transformer can therefore gather the meaning of texts more accurately.The GPT models were built by OpenAI combined Transformer with unsupervised (无人指导的) learning, meaning that the models can learn by themselves without being told what to look at. ChatGPT can now generate human-like responses instantly due to the large scale (规模) of texts It made sense of and learned from.“One of the biggest problems with ChatGPT is that it comes back, very confidently, with falsitie s,” Michael Wooldridge at the Alan Turing Institute in London, UK. This means that ChatGPT doesn't know the truth about the world—it learns information from various resources but It cannot decide what is true or false. As for education, many US schools recently banned students from using ChatGPT on school networks because students began to use it as a shortcut for essays.12．What aspect of ChatGPT is most impressive?A. The neural network.B. The large text database.C. The ability to combine words.D. The application of technology.13．What is the key to ChatGPT's response like humans?A. Data-based communication.B. Learning from masses of texts.C. Human-guided machine learning.D. Collecting texts for a large corpus. 14．What is the author's attitude toward ChatGPT?A. Supportive.B. Confused.C. Objective.D. Confident.15．What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Is ChatGPT a Good Translator?B. Should ChatGPT be Banned at School?C. Can ChatGPT Choose True Information?D. Will ChatGPT be the Wonder of Modern Technology?二、七选五16．Acupuncture (针灸) , an ancient Chinese medical practice, has been the solution for countless patients for thousands of years. ①_________ Over time, this natural practice gradually developed into a thorough and deep medical system, forming the basis of acupuncture.Acupuncture is a way to help the body recover itself by using thin needles in certain parts of the body. ②_________ Its medical ideas match traditional Chinese medicine's philosophical beliefs.

journey in a seven-foot lifeboat carried by 365 huge helium balloons．The brave man is learning to sail a lifeboat，in case he needs to ditch into the ocean during the danger-filled adventure．He sill

in order to succeed．The adventurer Trappe，who holds records for crossing the Alps，flying the most cluster balloons，and the longest distance，has spent his entire career，building up to this ambitious

classmates will ask your opinions of the work of the class．When you are telling others in the class what you have found out about these topics，remember that they must be able to hear what you are saying．You are not taking part in a family conversation or having a chat with friends---you are in a slightly unnatural situation where a large group of people will remain silent，waiting to hear what you have to say．You must speak so that they can hear you---loudly enough and clearly enough but without trying to shout or appearing to force yourself．Remember，too，that it is the same if you are called to an interview whether it is with a professor of your school or a government official who might meet you．The person you are seeing will try to put you at your ease but the situation is somewhat different from that of a ordinary conversation．You must take special care that you can be heard．1．When you speak to the class，you should speak ______．A．as slowly as possible B．in a low voiceC．loudly D．forcefully2．Usually，when you speak to the class，the class is ______．A．noisy B．quiet C．having a rest D．serious3 The situation in the class is ______ that in your house．A．not very

forward to for a long time．Then the telephone rings，you say hello，and the drama starts．The person on the other end has a depressing tone in his voice as he starts to tell you how terrible his morning is and that there is nothing to look forward to．You are still in a wonderful mood？Impossible！Communicating with negative people can wash out your happiness．It may not change what you think，but communicating long enough with them will make you feel depressed for a moment or a long time．Life brings ups and downs，but some people are stuck in the wrong idea that life has no happiness to offer．They only feel glad when they make others feel bad．No wonder they can hardly win others’ pity or respect．When you communicate with positive people，your spirit stays happy and therefore more positive things are attracted．When the dagger(匕首) of a negativeperson is put in you，you feel the heavy feeling that all in all，brings you down．Sometimes we have no choice but to communicate with negative people．This could be a co-worker，or a relative．In this case，say what needs to be said as little as possible．Sometimes it feels good to let out your anger back to the negative person，but all this does is to lower you to that same negative level and they won’t feel ashamed of themselves about that．Negativity often affects happiness without even being realized．The negative words of another at the start of the day can cling to you throughout the rest of your day，which makes you feel bad and steals your happiness．Life is too short to feel negative．Stay positive and avoid negativity as much as possible．1．The purpose of the first paragraph is to ______．A．make a comparison B．offer an evidenceC．introduce a topic D．describe a daily scene2．How can negative people have effect on us？A．By

people as little as possible5．What is the author’s attitude towards negative people？A．Favorable．B．Critical．C．Indifferent．D．Supportive．三、语法填空（本题共计1小题，总分20分）6.（20分）Every four years, millions of people
