山东省济南市2023-2024学年高二下学期期中联考英语试题一、阅读理解Top cookbooks of 2023The Wok: Recipes and Techniques by J.Kenji Lopez-AltThe Wok’s appeal is not innovation; you can find many dishes like Kung Pao Shrimp and Cumin Lamb on many Chinese restaurant menus. But you don’t have to leave your home. As far as I’m concerned, it’s worth the sticker price to learn the techniques.Turkey and the Wolf: Flavor Trippin’ in New Orleans by Mason HerefordChef Mason Hereford has put to paper some of the magic that draws locals and tourists alike to his popular New Orleans sandwich shop, Turkey and the Wolf. The cookbook is full of recipes accessible to home cooks. The meatloaf is my favorite.Mi Cocina: Recipes and Rapture from My Kitchen in Mexico by Rick MartinezWith seven sections focused on different regions across the country, Rick Martinez guides you through some of the essential recipes for each. The recipes are lovely, but what I love most are the stories alongside each of them. Food is deeply personal and with Mi Cocina, Martinez is sharing his life in food and inviting you to come along.I Am from Here: Stories and Recipes from a Southern Chef by Vishwesh BhattWestern India and the Southern U.S. share more culinary (烹饪的) similarities than you’d think, from rice varieties to fresh tomatoes. Here, these ingredients explode in a delicious combination of seasonings and essential cooking techniques.1．Whose book provides guidance on Chinese cooking?A．Rick Martinez’s.B．Vishwesh Bhatt’s.C．Mason Hereford’s.D．J.Kenji Lopez-Alt’s.2．Which book is titled after its author’s sandwich shop?A．The Wok.B．Turkey and the Wolf.C．Mi Cocina.D．I Am from Here.3．What is the similarity between Mi Cocina and I Am from Here?A．They share some stories.B．They feature Indian and American food.C．They stress food’s role in connecting cultures.D．They emphasize the importance of fresh ingredients.China is one of the largest producers and consumers of watermelon in the word. And Wu Mingzhu, a schoolmate of Y uan Longping at Southwest Agricultural College in Chongqing in the late1940s, is the unsung hero who has helped make this possible.“Is no exaggeration (夸张) to say that about 80 percent of more than 2,000 of China’s new seed types of watermelons and sweet melons at people’s dining tables every day are the result of great efforts made by Wu and her team over more than 60 years,” said a colleague of Wu’s.In 1955, Wu voluntarily went to work in Shanshan County, Turpan Basin in northwest China’s Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region where working condition were hard. In 1958, Wu began to promote the modern technology of planting melons among farmers. However, the local farmers who were used to folk panting methods, didn’t seem to take kindly to that. With the help of a famous local melon expert, Wu opened up three acres of wasteland to plant melon according to scientific knowledge. When autumn arrived, local farmers found the melons Wu planted in a scientific way were particularly delicious. From then on, the farmers began to adopt Wu’s scientific growing methods.Wu’s efforts to grow quality melons began paying off in 1973 when she went to the off-season breeding base in Hainan. She wanted to develop Hainan as a pilot area so that the south area of China could also grow melons, and realize the dream of three-matured or even four matured melons. After numerous difficulties, finally in the 80s, the melon variety selected by Wu succeeded. Wu said, “In Xinjiang, there are thousands of science and technology workers like me. They have worked hard for decades on the front ne of agriculture. I’m just one of the ordinary ones.”Now dealing with Alzheimer’s disease, Wu is often unable to recognize her former colleagues or even her family members who live by her side. But having worked day and night to breed new seed types since the 1950s, she can still remember her melon work.4．What does Wu’s colleague want to say according to Paragraph 2?A．People make profits from planting watermelons.B．Wu has made great contributions to planting watermelons.C．China is the largest consumer of watermelon in the world.D．Wu is delighted to see melons at people’s dining tables.5．What can we infer from Paragraph 3?A．Local farmers trusted Wu at first.B．Wu failed to spread her technology.C．Wu’s technology worked in Turpan Basin.D．A local expert improved Wu’s methods. 6．Why did Wu choose Hainan as a breeding base?A．To attract more watermelon consumers.B．To earn more money by selling more melons.C．To guide the local farmers to grow watermelons.D．To improve the speed and efficiency of breeding.7．What is the passage mainly about?A．A devoted watermelon scientist.B．Wu Mingzhu’s lifestyle.C．Wu Mingzhu’s new discovery.D．The modern technology of melon growing.According to new studies, many birds in the Amazon rainforest have become smaller as temperatures have increased. The difference hasn’t been obvious, but it has been significant enough that some scientists have suggested it’s a universal response to climate change.But new research finds that the body size reductions aren’t happening across the board with some large-brained birds having much less significant changes.For the study, researchers studied some data on about 70,000 birds that had died when they crashed into buildings in Chicago from 1978 to 2016. They added data on brain volume and lifespan (寿命) for 49 of the 52 species of migratory birds (候鸟) in the original study.They found that birds with very large brains had reductions in overall body size that were about one-third of the reductions noted in birds with smaller brains. They thought that in birds, the species with big brains are the ones that build tools, manage to survive in tough environments, live longer, invest more time and energy into raising babies, and end up surviving better in the wild Researchers aren’t certain exactly how warmer temperatures might lead to decreasing body size in birds, but they are considering two possible explanations, which could even be happening at the same time. First, natural selection might be favoring birds that can dissipate heat better. This is because smaller birds have higher ratios (比例) of surface area to volume, so being small canhelp birds stay cool. Second, warmer summers might have less food available for birds at the time when they are feeding their babies. In that case, birds might be getting smaller because of decreased food over the years.The findings don’t suggest that climate change is having zero impact on bigger-brained birds but researchers believe these findings can inform us of climate change and help set conservation priorities.8．How does climate change affect birds?A．Their brain size expands.B．Their body size shrinksC．Their body temperature rises.D．Their lifespan shortens.9．How did the scientists do the research?A．By analyzing the bird data.B．By observing the birds dying.C．By studying the bird death rate.D．By clarifying the bird species.10．What does the underlined word “dissipate” in Paragraph 5 mean?A．Use.B．Hold.C．Lose.D．Absorb. 11．What can be the best title for the text?A．Climate changes sharply B．Temperature rises globallyC．Brain size matters for birds’ body size D．Smaller-brained birds’ body sizes varyThe first time you start to read a poem, you must relax and read through it without concentrating on its meaning. Imagine you are meeting a person for the first time. You will just observe him and listen to his voice, as well as watch his shapes or movements, but you have not yet known what he is all about. Likewise, you may enjoy the sound, rhythms, or wording, and form some first impressions about a poem.On your second reading, you should concentrate more on the general meaning of the poem. This time, you will want to compare your feelings about the poem by now with how you felt before. Are they the same? What is different and why?Your third reading will focus more on details: the words, phrases, or images. Looking up any unfamiliar words in a dictionary so that you can gain a more accurate understanding. Using the example given above about meeting someone, his image will change gradually and slightly as you meet and learn more about him. Therefore, in your additional readings, it is a good idea tocompare your understanding each time with the understanding before.A helpful approach to further understanding a poem is to summarize it in your own words. Compare your version of understanding with those of others reading the same poem, and listen to how they form such opinions. Remember, however, that there is no exact or right meaning for a poem, as most poets have admitted they themselves are not exactly sure what they meant when writing certain lines or phrases; they have even been heard to say on occasion that sometimes words just seem to “drop from heaven” and land on the page. That is what awakening the imagination is all about. If you are lucky, and if you practice enough, magical things may happen when you write and you may be able to produce a beautiful poem or other work of art yourself. 12．Why does the author give the example of “meeting a person” ?A．To arouse readers’ interest B．To support his argumentC．To offer some advice D．To interpret his point13．What will you gain from the third reading of a poem?A．General meaning.B．Rhythm beauty.C．Deeper meaning.D．Poetic structure.14．What does the underlined word “ that ” refer to?A．Poets themselves don’t understand their poems.B．Beautiful poems drop from heaven occasionally.C．Poetic meanings are open to different explanations.D．Writing a summary helps understand a poem.15．What can we conclude from the last paragraph?A．Inspiration and hard work help create great poems.B．Poetry is an expression of one’s will in words.C．Practice and patience make a man perfect.D．Luck marches with those who give their very best.There’s an art to arranging pictures on a wall. The first step is to think about what you’re trying to achieve: 16 Are you trying to arouse curiosity or attract people’s attention to a particular artwork? Once you’ve identified the goal, let the following general principles guide you.Get the height rightConventional wisdom says art should be hung at eye level. 17 So a basic rule is to hang pieces so that their centers are 56 to 60 inches above the floor. And if the art is going over furniture, aim to hang it 8 to 10 inches from the top of the sofa or whatever piece is beneath it. Whatever height you choose, keep in mind: from a psychological perspective, if it’s a scene from nature, for example, it’s most relaxing if it seems like we can step into it.Take care when grouping piecesWhen grouping art pieces to create a gallery wall, give priority to the thing that is most special. Be mindful of the space between the frames, ensuring there is a visually equal distance between one another. A good rule is to aim for two inches apart with smaller items, and at most six inches apart with larger works. 18Find a coherent threadWhen arranging artwork in a group, look for one or two elements that repeat between the pieces, whether it’s a similar color, or a particular style of frame. When they all share this common characteristic, the brain says, “Oh, this was meant to be,”—it becomes easier to process what you’re looking at.Create balance and symmetry(对称)19 A 2018 study from the University of Vienna found that both art history and psychology students at the university level prefer symmetrical patterns with art over asymmetrical ones; In other experiments, researchers in Rome found that visual symmetry even leads to positive mood changes in viewers.20Before you commit to the arrangement you have in mind by hammering (捶打) holes into a wall, lay out what you plan on the floor in advance to get a sense of how it will look. Consider this a rehearsal (彩排) for your personal art show, Once you have the right arrangement, hammer away.A．Give it a trial runB．Make a proper arrangementC．They are two important elements.D．Research shows that humans prefer symmetry.E．In this case, it brings people a harmonious visual effect.F．But “eye level” means different things to different people.G．Are you trying to be surprising with your picture placement?二、完形填空Animals help lift my spirits in the darkest of times.“You should get a cat,” my doctor said. “A cat?” I couldn’t even look after myself. I took a deep 21 and carefully considered the idea of 22 a pet friend into my life.When Elaine came home, it became increasingly 23 that she didn’t understand “no”, “stop it” or “don’t do that”.

One day, we were walking in our hometown and saw hundreds of cigarette butts on the ground. They made the town look so ugly that we decided to start a group to make people dropping butts. We called it “No Butts About It”.At first, we drew pictures with “The Earth is not your ashtray（烟灰缸）”written on them. We put the pictures around our hometown—in parks, by beaches, and along roads. We wanted to make people understand that dropping butts hurts the environment. Most smokers don’t think that dropping butts hurts the Earth. But it does, and all rubbish does!Later, we wrote to companies and asked them for money to help us. We used the money to buy ashtrays to give to smokers. We wanted smokers to carry the ashtrays with them so they didn’t have to drop butts.At the moment, we are trying to get cigarette companies to put an ashtray in each pack of cigarettes. Some companies want to do it. Many people have started to join our group since it began. Today there are 45 other “No Butts About It” groups inAmerica.Now there even groups inEngland,Australia, andIndia! Many newspapers have written about my sister and me over the last seven years. And we have won many prizes for what we do. But we are not interested in prizes. We just want to make the Earth a better and cleaner place for animals, plants and people.One day, it will be.4.

Cigarette Butts Also Destroy Other Countries.D. No Butts Prize.CAn ancient tomb was recently discovered in southern Siberia in which there may be treasure, priceless objects, and the 3, 000-year-old remains of an ice mummy.Swiss scientist Gino Caspari with the University of Bern was looking carefully at the pictures of the area in the Russian Tuva Republic, when he came across what appeared to be a tomb. It is a tomb of the Scythians, an ancient group of Eurasians.This summer, together with researchers from the Russian Academy of Sciences and the Hermitage Museum, a dig at the site not only proved Caspari's idea, but told us the site is the largest and oldest of its kind ever discovered in what's increasingly known as the “Siberian Valley of the Kings.”While any discovery dating back to a period between the Iron Age and Bronze Age is exciting, it's the nature of this site that makes scientists want to begin carefully clearing away the layers of rock and earth. First, the tomb appears to have never been dug, because it is in a Siberian wetland faraway from the nearest place where people live. Second, and most important, is its possible resting place under a thick layer of permafrost.“There's permafrost in the area,” Caspari said. “There are really only a handful of permafrost tombs and very few that have not been damaged, where there have been ice mummies in good condition, and all the things in the tomb are untouched.”While not as large, other tombs discovered in the area have produced fantastical treasures and objects, including thousands of gold objects and other things about the past. By studying all these tombs, researchers hope to have a better understanding of the Scythian people.Caspari said his team is in a race against time to uncover the tomb and find out its secrets. “We now have to act fast,” he said, “because with the rising temperatures, the permafrost could melt and damage all the things in that tomb. And these are things that are over 3,000 years old, that look like new, like they were put there yesterday.”8. How did Caspari discover the tomb?A. By studying pictures.B.

It is getting hotter and hotter.C. Some treasures are being damaged.D. They want to save time for other tombs.DImust have always known reading was very important because the first memories I have as a child deal with books. There was not one night that I don’t remember mom reading me a storybook by my bedside. I was extremely inspired by the wonderful way the words sounded.I always wanted to know what my mom was reading. Hearing mom say, “I can’t believe what’s printed in the newspaper this morning,” made me want to grab it out of her hands and read it myself. I wanted to be like my mom and know all of the things she knew. So I carried around a book, and each night, just to be like her, I would pretend to be reading.This is how everyone learned to read. We would start off with sentences, then paragraphs, and then stories. It seemed an unending journey, but even as a six-year-old girl I realized that knowing how to read could open many doors. When mom said, “The C-A-N-D-Y is hidden on the top shelf,” I knew where the candy was. My progress in reading raised my curiosity, and I wanted to know everything. I often found myself telling my mom to drive more slowly, so that I could read all of the road signs we passed.Most of my reading through primary, middle and high school was factual reading. I read for knowledge, and to make A’s on my tests. Sometimes, I would read a novel that was assigned, but I didn’t enjoy this type of reading.I liked facts, things that are concrete. I thought anything abstract left too much room for argument.Now that I’m growing and the world I once knew as being so simple is becoming more complex, I find myself needing a way to escape. By opening a novel, I can leave behind my burdens and enter into a wonderful and mysterious world where I am now a new character. In these worlds I can become anyone. I don’t have to writedown what happened or what technique the author was using when he or she wrote this. I just read to relax.We’re taught to read because it’s necessary for much of human understanding. Reading is an important part of my life. Reading satisfies my desire to keep learning. And I’ve found that the possibilities that lie within books are limitless.12. Why did the author want to grab the newspaper out of mom’s hands？A. She wanted mom to read the news to her.B. She couldn’t wait to tear the newspaper apart.C. She couldn’t help but stopmom from reading.D. She was eager to know what had happened.13. According to Paragraph 3, the author’s reading of road signs shows___________.A. her own way to find herselfB. her eagerness to develop her reading abilityC. her growing desire to know the world around herD. her effort to remind mom to obey traffic rules14. The author takes novel reading as a way to___________.A. explore a mysterious landB. develop an interest in learningC. get away from a confusing worldD. learn about the adult world15. What could be the best title for the passage？A The Pleasure of Reading B. Growing Up with ReadingC. The Magic of ReadingD. Reading Makes a Full Man第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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。
