江苏省南通市区2024-2025学年高二10月月考英语试卷一、阅读理解Looking to inspire curious young minds? These are some of the best popular science books for children, which should keep the young minds full of ideas long into the future.Amazing JellyfishThis book includes plenty of impressive facts. The first-person style of the author helps to keep the attention of young readers, by including personal stories and avoiding all pages of words. Each part is divided into detailed drawings and valuable information. The book has fun jokes about jellyfish, a maze (迷宫) with sea trash, and more.A Brief History of StuffDK has chosen a mix of many different things for this unique book. From baby bottles to pens, there isn’t much of a logical (合乎逻辑的) path or timeline, making it a great book for kids of all ages. Seeing a list of everyday items such as a pot or a fridge, you realize how little you know about the stories behind them. This book has all the information you need about their beginnings and impact on society.A Kid’s Guide to the Night SkyThe night sky is filled with countless astronomical objects to explore and this book does its best to introduce a wide variety of them to children. The life cycle of stars and light pollution are just a few of the topics that the book introduces to its audience. It also takes a deep div e into each of the solar system’s planets and some of the amazing technology that’s working to find out more about them.Radar (雷达) and the RaftThe story of radar, along with the inventors and contributing scientists, comes together in this book about the technology’s development and lifesaving uses. By connecting the story of the Bell family’s near-death experience at sea with the story of radar’s discovery, the author has produced an interesting and informative storyline.1．What is a main feature of Amazing Jellyfish?A．Using a strictly scientific style.B．Presenting a clear timeline of events.C．Focusing on fun games about sea life.D．Matching the text and the picture well. 2．How do readers probably perceive A Brief History of Steff?A．A collection of famous speeches.B．An introduction to historical heroes.C．A guide to exploring common objects.D．A handbook on starting interest clubs. 3．Which book best suits young enthusiasts for astronomy?A．Amazing Jellyfish.B．Radar and the Raft.C．A Brief History of Stuff.D．A Kid’s Guide to the Night Sky.How would you feel if your child were being tutored by a robot? It’s believed that social robots could become as common as paper and whiteboards in schools. Those robots have been used to read stories to preschool students in Singapore, help 12-year-olds in Iran learn English and improve handwriting among young children in Switzerland.As a professor of education, I study the different ways that teachers worldwide do their jobs. To understand how social robots could affect teaching, I introduced a robot called “Pepper” into a public elementary and middle school in the U. S. and found many problems with the current generation of social robots.To get the robot to perform, our students had to master the directions that came with the robot. Some students quickly figured out that the robot could respond only to certain basic routines. They kept trying to interact with the robot as if it were a person but got very frustrated with its nonhuman responses. When a robot failed to answer a question, or responded in the wrong way, students realized the robot wasn’t really understanding them and that the robot’s dialogue was preprogrammed.Also, I have found that these are not limited to school settings. Service robots in some health care facilities have been programmed to deliver medicine, but this requires special sensors and programming. Stores and restaurants are experimenting with delivery and cleaning robots. But when a grocery store in Scotland tried to use “Pepper” for customer interactions, the robot was fired after a week.While the social robots currently used in schools are limited in functions, they can still provide useful learning experiences. Students can use them to learn more about robotics and artificial intelligence. Struggling with a robot’s limitations gives students real insights into thecomplicated nature of human social interaction. The opportunity to do hands-on work with a social robot shows students how difficult it is to program robots to copy human behavior. As AI becomes a bigger part of our work and lives, we need to teach students to think critically about what it means to live and work with social machines.4．What phenomenon is described at the beginning of the text?A．The global differences in educational approachesB．The transformative impact of robots on education.C．The adoption of social robots in classrooms worldwide.D．The innovative achievements in science and technology.5．How do students find their interaction with social robots?A．Amusing and engagıng.B．Challenging but beneficial.C．Ineffective and disappointing.D．Satisfying but time-consuming.6．What does the author want to show by mentioning the examples in paragraph 4?A．Robotics still has room for improvement.B．Technology has changed the way we workC．Many fields are open to experimenting with robots.D．Robots might pose a threat to people’s employment.7．What can students learn by interacting with limited-function social robots in schools?A．To master communication skills.B．To get some hands-on experience.C．To strengthen the sense of mission.D．To improve critical thinking ability.For many of us, online shopping has made the process of purchasing goods a far simpler and more convenient process. No longer do we have to head to shops to browse through various objects, wandering round endless shelves, before finally setting for the first thing we saw. These days, we find the item we want or need online, click on it, and check out its description and, most importantly, its user reviews. If it fits the bill, we send it to our basket and pay.There seems to be a wealth of options at our fingertips. But how do we know the options that pop up in front of us really are the best deals, and how might algorithms (算法) help or hold us back?Algorithms, simply put, are mathematical instructions which tell a computer how to solveproblems. When shopping is involved, what is the problem they solve? Well, they instruct a computer which advertisements to show and which products a user is most likely to buy. By analyzing the things we bought or looked at previously algorithms can predict what goods we’re most likely to be attracted by.For some people, the idea of something guessing your preferences could sound a bit worrying. But first, let’s look at the positives. By telling a computer to show us what we are interested in, it can not only save us a lot of time, but also help us find the best deals. However, there are some people who have concerns about the impact of algorithms on our shopping experience. It is possible that algorithms may only select options from a limited number of brands, or may favour products from certain companies. There are also concerns that we aren’t always shown the cheapest or best deal, even though that’s what we’re searching for.So, the takeaway from this is that algorithms are here to stay, and it’s wise to know they exist. Whenever you are shopping, be it online or off, make sure you shop around for the best deals. The first thing you see might not always be the best for you.8．What is the main factor that leads you to buy the product online immediately?A．The reasonable price.B．Salesgirls’ description.C．Customers’ comments.D．The convenient delivery.9．How do algorithms help customers find their favourite goods?A．The previous consuming records.B．The most advertisements they see.C．The frequency of visiting the store.D．The amount of money they spend. 10．What does the author think of algorithms used for online shopping?A．Doubtful.B．Beneficial.C．Negative.D．Worrying. 11．Which message does the author want to convey in the last paragraph?A．Many hands make light work.B．Actions speak louder than words.C．Only the feet tell if the shoes fit.D．Only comparing can see the gap.At a park in one of the world’s most polluted cities, a filtration (过滤) “tower” has been quietly cleaning the surrounding air since last summer. Called Verto, the device filters 600,000 cubic meters of air a day in New Delhi’s Sunder Nursery.Filtration towers were designed by architecture firm Studio Symbiosis. The firm’sco-founders, Amit Gupta and Britta Knobel Gupta, say their fan-powered devices can clean the air within a radius (半径) of 200 to 500 meters in some spaces, depending on wind speed and how open the surroundings are. “I think the towers can also be installed in public parks and squares, where people spend quality outdoor time,” Britta said, adding that installing (安装) the towers in spots where homeless people sleep might also be very beneficial.In 2019 alone, air pollution is thought to have caused nearly 1.6 million deaths in India, according to a study in medical journal The Lancet. New Delhi is regularly covered with smog, with vehicle emissions, crop-burning, and coal-fired power plants all contributing to the city’s bad air quality.In addition to the direct impact of pollution, the resulting climate change has caused heat waves that have killed more than 24,000 people in the country since 1992, according to a study published by the University of Cambridge.Amit estimated that maybe 100 of the towers would be required to filter the air across central New Delhi, though further research and a “full-scale model” would be required to calculate more figures. The devices are also designed to be easily transported, with the hope that they can be adopted on a larger scale.The filters, which need to be changed every three to nine months, are partly recyclable. Noise generated by the towers is, at a maximum of 75 decibels, similar to that of a standard kitchen exhaust fan (排风扇). To reduce Verto’s environmental impact, Studio Symbıosis installed energy-efficient smart fans that vary according to local conditions, slowing down when pollution is low, or when strong winds provide natural air flow.12．Which factor can improve the work efficiency of filtration tower?A．The height of tower.B．The surrounding people.C．The design of fans.D．The strength of wind.13．What is mainly discussed in Paragraphs 3 and 4?A．The death number in India since 1992.B．The consequence of climate change.C．The cause and effect of air pollution.D．The process of heat wave generation. 14．What is the striking feature of Verto?A．Cost-effective.B．Uniquely-designed.C．Eco-friendly.D．Completely-recycled15．What is the best title for the text?A．The air cleaning tower in India B．The bad air quality in New DelhiC．The filtration tower’s global trend D．Smart fans’ environmental purposeAppreciating art can be a rewarding experience. But it can also be confusing if you’re not sure where to start. Here are a few tips to help you get the most out of your art appreciation journey.One of the most important things to remember when looking at art is to approach it with an open mind. 16 Instead, allow yourself to experience the art work on its own terms and see what emotions or thoughts it awakens in you.When you first encounter a piece of art, take a few moments to look at it. Notice the colors, lines, shapes, and materials. 17 If you’re looking at a painting, try to identify the brushwork and how it contributes to the artistic effect of the piece.18 Thinking about the situation in which a piece was created can help you better understand and appreciate the work. For example, if you’re looking at a piece of art from the 19th century, it can be helpful to learn about the artistic movements and social issues that were common at the time.The medium in which a piece of art is created can have a significant impact on the final product. 19 Understanding the properties and limitations of different mediums can help you appreciate the technical skills and choices of the artist.If you’re looking at art in a museum or gallery, there may be a staff member available to answer your questions. Don’t be afraid to ask for more information. If you’re looking at art online or in a book, try to find out more about the work through research. 20A．Many works of art convey a deeper meaning.B．You can also turn to a professional about the subject.C．Try not to assume what the artist was trying to express.D．The key to appreciating art is to approach it with curiosity.E．Observe how the various elements of the artwork are arranged.F．Art is often created within a specific historical, or cultural context.G．A sculpture made of metal has a different feel from an oil painting.二、完形填空The town of North Rustico is a homey sort of place. Neighbors there are always sure to 21 one another as they go about their day. And that 22 of friendliness is apparently infectious.One day, local resident Lisa Sandoval was walking near the waterfront when she realized somebody was 23 to her. “I heard ‘Hello! Hello!’” Sandoval said. “I turned around and there wasn’t even a 24 . Then I heard the 25 again. I got a little 26 , and thought I must be hearing things.”It was then that Sandoval noticed only a crow (乌鸦) nearby. “I stopped and said, ‘Hello?’”27 , he answered me back, “Hello!”Sandoval later came to learn that she wasn’t the only one in town to have 28 the talking crow. The story goes that years earlier the bird had been found injured as a baby and 29 by an elderly man living nearby, who often spoke to him during his 30 . “That bird had learned to say hello and had been let go free after regaining his health,” Sandoval said. A few months after their 31 meeting, Sandoval ran into the talking crow again.Crows, much like parrots, are indeed 32 of learning to mimic human language. So, if the story of his 33 is true, his vocalizations (说出的话) may very well 34 the voice of the elderly man who’d saved him. “He passed away years ago,” Sandoval said, but his legacy (遗产) 35 in the friendly, feathered bird. 21．A．understand B．greet C．attract D．remember 22．A．chance B．principle C．sense D．demand 23．A．pointing B．speaking C．responding D．appealing 24．A．soul B．signal C．choice D．change 25．A．answer B．rhythm C．warning D．voice 26．A．confused B．bored C．messy D．guilty 27．A．Gradually B．Carelessly C．Incredibly D．Accidentally 28．A．attended B．adopted C．encountered D．expected 29．A．introduced B．nursed C．grabbed D．accepted30．A．residence B．flight C．absence D．recovery 31．A．initial B．regular C．casual D．private 32．A．aware B．proud C．capable D．ignorant 33．A．origin B．talent C．injury D．departure 34．A．raise B．reflect C．protect D．replace 35．A．sets off B．gives up C．backs down D．lives on三、语法填空阅读下面短文，在空白处填入一个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

The Red Delicious apple is likely to lose its title as the most popular apple this year, which it held for more than half a century. The U.S. Apple Association is projecting, that the Gala apple will usurp（夺取）the Red Delicious for the top spot.The group, which advocates on behalf of 7,500 apple growers and 400 companies in the apple business, predicted that the U. S. would grow 52.4 million Gala apples in 2018, up 5.9 percent from a year earlier. Red Delicious apple production is expected to fall 10.7 percent to 51.7 million.Consumers apparently like the Gala's "taste, texture（口感）and sweetness," the U.S. Apple Association said in a statement. "The rise in production of newer varieties of apples aimed at the fresh consumption domestic market has caused demand for the Red Delicious to decline." said Mark Seetin, the association's director of regulatory and industry affairs.The Granny Smith, Fuji and Honeycrisp apples are expected to rank third, fourth and fifth. The association predicted that within a year or two the Honeycrisp may pass the Granny Smith and Fuji, jumping into third place. The production of the apple rose 21.8 percent to 23.5 million this year. That puts it ahead of the Golden Delicious apple for the first time. The Honeycrisp was created by the University of Minnesota's apple breeding（培育）program only 21 years ago. It typically costs more than its competitors.Until the 1970s, Americans had only a few choices of apples. While the Golden Delicious offered a color contrast and the Granny Smith brought tartness（酸味）to the table, the Red Delicious was the star, heavily promoted by Washington state growers. Then wholesalers began looking for tastier varieties, finding them overseas in Japan, home to the Fuji, and New Zealand, which had the Braeburn and Gala.（1）How does the author prove Americans' preference for the Gala?A.By using statistics.B.By listing examples.C.By explaining causes.D.By presenting research findings.（2）What do we know about the Honeycrisp?A.It is sour in flavor.B.It is light in color.C.It is gaining popularity.D.It is losing its price advantage.（3）Which of the following comes from New Zealand?A.The Fuji.B.The Honeycrisp.C.The Braeburn.D.The Granny Smith.（4）What does the text mainly tell us?A.Why Americans eat apples from different countries.B.How different apples are becoming popular in America.C.How American farmers choose their apple growing types.D.Why the Red Delicious was Americans' favorite for 50 years.causal inferences rather than simply finding patterns. "At some point—you know, if you're intelligent—you realize maybe there's something else out there," he says.【长难句分析】1.

广东省广州市天河区2023~2024学年高二上学期期末考试英语试卷学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解Have you ever got the feeling that your dog is judging you?Well,you’re in for a surprise because it’s actually your dog who might be viewing you with a critical eye.Eliza Fletcher and her colleagues wondered whether dogs might rate us in terms of our skillfulness, particularly when those skills might come in handy for our four-footed little friends.So they set up a simple experiment.They showed60dogs two persons opening containers.One person is competent.That person was able to pop open the top after just a couple of twists while the other person failed at this task.That person tried to open the lid,but then gave up.The actors repeated the performance on a second container,with the same results.Then the researchers handed both actors a third container.In some trials,this container was empty.In others,it contained a treat. And what they found was that female dogs spent more time staring expectantly at the person who had previously demonstrated container-opening know-how.And they were more likely to approach the competent person,but only when they thought they might get free food.Dogs in the empty condition showed no preferences.So,why would females be more careful observers of people’s performances than males? Female advantage in the social cognitive domain(认知领域)has been reported across many species including humans.In other words,in many cognitive studies,furry females seem to show a higher social IQ than males.And sex differences have been seen in other dog studies. For example,females look at their owners more frequently and longer than males when facing unsolvable task.Female dogs solve significantly more tasks than males in social learning task.So,next time Fifi looks at you with those puppy dog eyes,you might be thinking,what a good dog!But she might be thinking,eeem,you could do better.1．Why did Eliza Fletcher do the experiment?A．To figure out the rate of human skills.B．To prove dogs have better skills than humans.C．To test whether dogs judge human’s skillfulness.from brands that reflect the values they believe in.Everyone should enjoy the same range of fashion choices,”says Ludovica Ospina,professor of marketing at the College of Business. 4．What do the underlined words“the elephant in the room”in paragraph1mean?A．Hardly satisfied.B．Socially accepted.C．Widely promoted.D．Obvious but ignored.5．What is Marie North’s attitude towards the all-size trend?A．Unclear.B．Negative.C．Puzzled.D．Cautious. 6．For what are some brands criticized by researchers?A．Their motivation.B．Their promotion.C．Their devotion.D．Their advertisement.7．What should fashion industry do in a body-diverse world?A．Provide more fashion choices.B．Show respect to the consumers.C．Produce clothes in various sizes.D．Build private relationships with customers.I still remember the first time I told my then-six-year-old son,Lev,that a clam makes calls with its“shell phone”.The laugh of recognition when he first got the joke was a moment I won’t ever forget.When I told it a second time in front of his friends Henry and Amir,I could see how proud he was that I had made his friends laugh.Excuse the showing off,but I was the cool dad.By Lev’s ninth birthday party,things had begun to change.After the seventh or eighth time I asked him“What do you call someone with no body and no nose?”he rolled his eyes.“I get it,Dad…”“…Nobody knows!”“Stop it,Dad!”I immediately shifted gears into food puns,but I got nothing except head shakes.I’m pretty sure I heard him say“Sorry about my dad”to his friends as they all ran off to play on their phones together.I used to be the life of every kids party.I was the one who always had a knock-knock joke at the party.Other parents loved that I could show up at any event and distract their kids with age-appropriate wordplay.Sure,there were other dads with their jokes,but I felt as if no one ever stole my crown.I tell you all this because after a lot of soul-searching,I believe it’s time.My kids aren’t grown and out of the house,but I’ve come to realize that I’ll never be able to compete with二、完形填空34．A．Therefore B．However C．Afterwards D．Besides 35．A．Spain B．China C．France D．Germany三、语法填空四、选词填空五、完成句子六、书信写作66．你校英文报为庆祝校美食文化节，向全校学生征集“我与一道美食的故事”。
