河北省2023-2024学年高二年级上学期期末统考英语试题学校:___________姓名:___________班级:___________考号:___________一、阅读理解Last Friday, Britain’s Prince William announced the winners of this year’s Earthshot Prize. The prize is meant to encourage new ideas and rapid action to help protect the planet. Below are parts of this year’s prize-winning projects in each category.Protect and Restore NatureKheyti won the prize for protecting and restoring nature with its “Greenhouse-in-a-box” idea. Kheyti is already working with 1, 000 farmers across India, which is one of the most climate-affected countries in the world. The company says the greenhouses allow farmers to use 90% less water and produce seven times as much food. Kheyti hopes to get its greenhouses to 50,000 farmers by 2027.Clean Our AirCharlot Magayi won the prize for cleaning the air. Ms. Magayi developed a stove (炉子) that uses a fuel that’s cheaper and pollutes far less than charcoal stoves. Currently, over 200,000 of her Clean Stoves are being used in Kenya.Build a Waste-Free WorldA London-based company called Notpla(for “Not Plastic”)won the prize for building a waste-free world. They’ve created a plastic substitute(替代品)from plants found in the ocean. Unlike most plastic, their products break down naturally with no microplastics. Notpla believes their products can help end the plastic pollution that’s filling landfills and polluting oceans.Fix Our ClimateThe Earthshot Prize for working toward fixing our climate went to a company called 44.01 from Oman. 44.01 has come up with a way to turn polluting carbon dioxide(CO2)into a rock called peridotite. Once the CO2 has been turned into rock, it can no longer be released into the atmosphere again. The method that 44.01 uses is fast, cheap and permanent. 1.What is the aim of the Earthshot Prize?A.To offer practical advice on global warming.B.To find solutions to the environmental problems.C.To develop a strategic partnership with all parties.D.To encourage literary creations of the British people.2.Where are Kheyti’s greenhouses widely used?A.In India.B.In Kenya.C.In the UK.D.In Oman. 3.What do Charlot Magayi and 44.01 have in common?A.They want to build a waste-free world.B.Their projects are directly good for farmers.C.Their achievements benefit the air cleaning.D.They use plants from the ocean in their products.Some of my earliest memories involve sitting with my dad in his study every night when he came home from the office, I’d watch as he put his personal items away; his watch, wallet, comb and car keys They would always occupy the same spot on the table every time.Dad’s comb was jade green. I heard he bought it when he married Mum. Every night, he would smile, hand me the comb and say, “Be a good girl and help Daddy clean it, OK?”I was more than happy to do it. At age five, this kind of task brought me such joy. I would excitedly turn the tap on, and then brush the comb with a used toothbrush as hard as I could. Satisfied that I’d done a good job, I would proudly return the comb to Dad. He would smile at me, and place the comb on top of his wallet.About two years later, Dad left his sales job and started his own wholesale business. I started primary school. That was when things started to change. Dad’s business wasn’t doing so well, and our stable life started getting shaky. He didn’t come home as much as he used to. And when he did come home, it was always late and I’d already be in bed. 1 started to get mad. Why didn’t he listen to Mum and just stick to his old job? Why did he take the risk and place the whole family in trouble? Over the years, I stopped waiting for him to come home, and stopped going downstairs to check on him.Now 28, I’ve graduated from college and got a job. Dad’s business has also started to get back on track. Yet the uncomfortable silence between Dad and me went on.Two days before my birthday last year, Dad came home early. On that evening, I helped him carry his bags into his study as usual. When I turned to leave, he asked me to clean his comb. I looked at him for a while, then took the comb and headed to the sink.It was the same comb. After cleaning it, I passed it back to Dad. He looked at it and smiled. But this time, I noticed something different. My dad had aged. He had wrinkles nextto his eyes when he smiled, yet his smile was still as heartwarming as before.4.From the first three paragraphs, we can learn___________.A.the author would study with Dad every eveningB.the precious green comb of Dad was made of jadeC.the earliest memories with Dad were full of joyD.the author was unwilling to clean the comb for Dad5.What probably made Dad decide to start his own business?A.He was eager to get everything on track.B.He wanted to keep his family life stable.C.He was laid off and had to make a living.D.He hoped to earn a better life for the family.6.What emotional changes did the author experience when staying with Dad these years?A.Cheerful→mad→warm.B.Mad→satisfied→warm.C.Satisfied→worried→angryD.Warm→concerned→uncomfortable.7.Which could be the best title for the text?A.My Dad’s CombB.Dad’s Wholesale BusinessC.Changes of My DadD.My Earliest Memories with DadMost people don’t lie very much. It makes sense. By being honest with people, you not only build up goodwill, but also save a lot of brain power since your brain doesn’t have to do anything out of the ordinary when you tell the truth. You just think of what you want to say, and you say it.Actually, lying takes much more work. Imagine you’re late to class and the teacher asks why. If you decide to lie, you have to make up a story on the spot, think about the various directions the conversation might take and figure out what you need to say to keep this whole lie from falling apart. You might not be aware of it, but you just give your brain a lot of extra work. “A lot of that brain work is done in a region called the prefrontal cortex. It’s the part in charge of working memory,” explains Jennifer Vendemia, a scientist from the University ofSouth Carolina.Working memory keeps something in mind just for a little while, such as remembering instructions for how to play a game or some other specific tasks. It stores things for only a short while as you’re using them, and it doesn’t put them in long-term storage. Besides working memory, the prefrontal cortex also takes care of tasks such as planning, problem-solving and self-control. Scientists describe these as executive function tasks. Executive function lets you think a step or two ahead to make sure the lie you’ re telling will likely hold up to questioning. “Spending so much brainpower trying to keep a story straight means there’s less available for other things,” says Vendemia. “Lying is especially harmful for young people as the prefrontal cortex is not fully developed until around age 25. When the prefrontal cortex is busy with tasks related to lying, younger people have a harder time doing other tasks.”Lying has social costs, too. People generally value honesty and don’t like liars. So if people view you as untrustworthy, it can be bad for your relationships.8.What is the first paragraph mainly about?A.The costs of lying to people.B.The true meaning of honesty.C.The benefits of being truthful.D.The difficulty of being a good liar.9.Why is a lying student mentioned in the second paragraph?A.To prove a concept B.To introduce a topic.C.To provide the background.D.To give an example.10.Which of the following is the function of working memory?A.Remembering a life-long lesson.B.Storing information for a short time.C.Pushing oneself to face difficulties.D.Processing information in the brain.11.What is the passage mainly about?A.The reasons why people lie.B.The harmful effects of lying.C.The part of brain in charge of lying.D.The ways to avoid being caught lying.Have you ever noticed that the stars sometimes appear brighter in December, January and February? There's a link between cold air and the night lights. "Part of it is that it tends to be drier in the winter," said Diane Tumshek, an astronomer at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Even though it's invisible, moisture can change the way light moves through the air. And in the summer, moisture can make stars appear more dull.Air temperature is also what puts the twinkle twinkle in the little stars. "Even on very clear nights, some of the atmosphere is cooler, and some of the atmosphere is warmer,” said Tumshek, who also works with the Allegheny Observatory. And when the light from a star passes through those bubbles of varying temperatures, "it bends and shifts the light, so that we are seeing stars appear to dance or twinkle,” she said.For star lovers in the United States, there's another factor that comes into play for bright winter stars, although this is a matter of coincidence. During Earth's journey around the sun, “there are just simply more bright stars visible from the Northern Hemisphere in the winter sky," Tumshek said. If you really want to see a shiny star, just try to find a burning ball of gas called Sirius near the horizon. At 8.6 light-years away, Sirius is relatively close to Earth and the brightest star visible in the night sky. It is also large — nearly twice as big as our sun and 20 times as bright. So this winter, when the world turns cold and it seems like we should be spending more time indoors, consider asking an adult to go exploring outside. With a warm coat and a clear sky, any night can be turned into a treasure hunt. All you have to do is look up.12.What does the underlined word "dull" in Paragraph 1 probably mean?A.not shiny B.not exciting C.not severe D.not smart 13.How does air temperature influence the brightness of stars?A.By changing the bubbles around them.B.By putting the twinkle twinkle in them.C.By varying the direction of the light from them.D.By making the stars dance and twinkle in the sky.14.What do we know about Sirius?A.It can be found at any night.B.It is 20 times as bright as the sun.C.It is a burning and shiny ball.D.It is closer to Earth than other stars, 15.What is the author's purpose in writing the text?A.To advocate stargazing in winter,B.To call on people to focus on stars.C.To present new research results about stars.D.To explain why stars are more visible in winter.Poetry has healing powers. To get more joy and peace, we don’t have to be a professional poet but we can develop a poetic mindset (心态). 16Be in awe (敬畏) of everything.The poetic mindset starts with the idea that nothing is an accident. Everything is interrelated and plays a part in a greater whole. 17 Close your eyes. Now open them. What is the first thing you see? Look closer. Ask yourself: What does it look like? What does it remind you of? Does it bring happy thoughts or sad ones? Why? I bet your randomly selected object is full of meaning.18A poem is a place where you can pour out your hard feelings. Don’t be afraid. You can always throw the page into the fireplace once you’ve filled it. 19 Poetry can be a storeroom for everything difficult in your life. But there’s more, I find when I write about something I’m struggling with, my negative feeling begins to become weaker.Seek what inspires you.Life isn’t perfect, but you can live with love and trust anyway. 20 There is always goodness to be found once you train yourself to look for it. Poetry to me is a form of praise. I build poems from things I see, people I meet and thoughts and feelings found deep inside. As I present those treasures in poetic language, I am appreciating what is good in them.A.Let pain be your teacher.B.How can we manage it in an easy way?C.What are the steps of writing a good poem?D.Poetry helps us remember this important wisdom.E.Or seal it in an envelope and come back to it later.F.Writing a poem is about describing your inner world vividly.G.Therefore, everything deserves notice and even appreciation.二、完形填空I was walking through the bush when, suddenly, a baby koala rushed to me through theof these animals 24 .Ever since I was a girl, I’d loved animals and at 18 had started work at the Curmmbin Wildlife Sanctuary as a 25 collector.

Disney.Johannes Fritz, an Austrian biologist, needed to come up with a plan again if he was going to prevent his rare and beloved birds from going extinct.To survive the European winter, the northern bald ibis needs to migrate south for the winter over the Alps. But shifting climate patterns have delayed when the birds begin to migrate and they are now reaching the mountains too late to make it over the peaks, locking them in an icy death trap. Determined to save them, he decided to teach the birds a new, safer migration route by guiding them himself in a tiny aircraft. He was confident that he could succeed in this daring, unconventional plan.the last in the wild, causing the birds to disappear entirely from the wild. When Mr. Fritz was born 56 years ago, the northern bald ibis could be found in Europe only in captivity (圈养) .Mr.Fritz has spent his career reintroducing the birds into the wild. Through years of trial and error, he learned to fly like a bird. He modified (改装) a lightweight aircraft so it would fly at speeds slow enough for the birds to keep up. In 2004, he led the first flock from Austria to Italy, and has since led more migrations. But the route he originally taught the ibises does not work successfully. With climate change warming the area where the birds summer, they now start their migration at the end of October instead of the end of September. The trip is expected to take about six weeks, “Still, we’re optimistic that it’ll work,” said Mr. Fritz.His family and colleagues witnessed the risks he was taking. “But the unavoidable risks are necessary,” Mr. Fritz said. “It’s not so much a job, but my life’s purpose.”4.What was Johannes Fritz’s plan?A. To shorten bald ibises’ migration route.B. To lead bald ibises to migrate on a new route.C. To better the climate patterns for bald ibises.D. To find out a safer destination for bald ibises.5.What does the underlined word “devoured” in paragra ph 3 mean?A. Destroyed.B. Abused.C. Released.D. Raised.6.Why was Mr. Fritz’s initial route for the birds ineffective?A. Owing to the long time it consumes.B. For the slow speed of his modified aircraft.C. Because of the toughness along the first route.D. Due to higher temperatures in the summer habitat.7.Which of the following can best describe Mr. Fritz?A. Honest.B. Innovative.C. Straightforward.D. Demanding.As you’re drafting your New Year’s resolutions, you may think that it takes 21 days of repeating an action for that action to become a habit. So, you set out to go to the gym for 21 days, thinking that by day 22 heading to the gym will feel automatic—maybe even fun.However, that 21-day estimate isn’t true. A habit expert Wendy Wood found that this falsehood came from a self-help book in the 1960s and actually described how long it takes to get used to your new appearance after plastic surgery. It’s important to note t hat getting used to something is not the same thing as forming a habit, and perhaps the two concepts got confused along the way, giving rise to the term today.To figure out how long it actually takes to form a habit, Phillippa Lally, and her team did a series of research.They recruited 96 people and asked each person to choose one new habit and report each day on whether or not they did the behavior and how automatic the behavior felt. Some people chose simple habits like “drinking a bottle of water with lunch.” Others chose m ore difficult tasks like “running for 15 minutes before dinner.” At the end of 12 weeks, the researchers analyzed the data to determine how long it took each person to go from starting a new behavior to automatically doing it.The study found that it takes more than 2 months before a new behavior becomes automatic—66 days to be exact. And if you want to set your expectations appropriately, the truth is that it will probably take you anywhere from two months to eight months to build a new behavior into your life. Interestingly, the researchers also found that “m issing one opportunity to perform the behavior did not affect the habit formation process.” That is to say, it doesn’t matter if you mess up every now and then. Building better habits is not an all-or-nothing process.So, for those who wish to form certain habits, persistence is king. To form a good habit, we need to pay more energy and effort.8.What does “21days” actually mean according to Wendy Wood?A. The time one drafts a book.B. The time one develops a new habit.C. The time one gets used to something.D. The time one recovers from a surgery. 9.How did the researchers do the research?A. By doing questionnaires.B. By tracking people’s behaviors.C. By making predictions.D. By analyzing data of previous studies. 10.What can we infer from paragraph 5?A. Habits cannot be noticed easily.B. The amount of time a habit takes varies.C. One should perform a behavior constantly.D. It takes exactly 66 days to form a new habit.11.What is the best title of the passage?A. Habit—good or not?B. Better habit, better life?C. 21days to form a habit?D. Hit or miss with habits?The house had been cleaned and decorated elegantly. The air smelt fresh. Little labels on all we saw around the house displayed important details: date of purchase and the current selling price. We were at a garage sale. There was no talking or bargaining. Buyers could pick up at the listed price.All efforts that release cash that is locked into stuff touch me deeply. If they break conventional ideas, I will like them even more. It is my view that people love to follow suit and end up with emotions they ought to feel, rather than being true to themselves. To say that one does not care for one’s grandmother’s necklace is considered rude, so one would simply keep it in the locker and pass it on to the next generation.No longer so, I am guessing.It’s not always about money, but perhaps about considering one’s choices. My argument always is to use stuff, if you like it so much. Wear those pieces of jewellery; use those pieces of furnitures; take home those piles of old-time bedsheets. But if none of them fit into your current home, allow someone else to take them home. Turn those properties over instead of leaving them unused.Hoarding (囤积) is not a virtue. It is a waste of the money that is locked into the property you are hoarding. I may use it sometime in the future, say some. Give that a time frame. If you are holding something you haven’t used even once in five years, ask yourself if someone else may need it. Don’t sell if you don’t care for money; but do give it away.All else needs to earn their place for their value and usefulness for you. Celebrate the liberation from hoarding and let there be light!12.What do people often do at the garage sale?A. Purchase a garage.B. Label their belongings.C. Talk about decoration.D. Trade their unused stuff.13.Why does the author mention “neeklace” in par agraph 2?A. To call for respect towards the elderly.B. To advocate holding onto the family tradition.C. To show the financial condition of an average family.D. To prove people tend to follow suit against their wills.14.What does the author believe according to paragraph 4?A. It is a good idea to save money.B. A good taste counts in purchase.C. Unused items deserve a new owner.D. The outdated should be thrown away.15.What is the author’s purpose of writing the passage?A. To call on people to get rid of hoarding.B. To show his worry about wasting resources.C. To draw attention to conserving the traditions.D. To inspire people to spend more on meaningful things.二、七选五16.In our ever-evolving world, where both personal and professional areas are loaded with challenges, problem solving skills are increasingly valuable in the workplace. ①Here’s how to enhance your strategy.Clear and brief communication is the key to effective problem-solving, acting as the bridge that connects diverse perspectives toward a common goal. ② It involves choosing the right words, structuring information logically, and being mindful of the audience to ensure that your message is both impressive and comprehensible.

The program is a special school within theMassachusetts public high school that’s completely run by students - noteachers, parents, or adults are allowed - and they’re in charge of decidingtheir whole curriculum .These teens’ homework and what they study inthe classroom a re all totally up to them. Charles Tsai, a journalist, made a15-minute film about the project that shows the wide variety of activitiesdifferent students join.Students aren’t taking this lightly - insteadof reacting irresponsibly to the freedom to desig ntheir own studies, they’re dealing with their own interests by writing poetry collections, learning instruments and taking flight lessons.The program is this: On Mondays students comeup with questions in relation to one of their school subjects, then they spendthe rest of the week researching and coming up with possible conclusions tothese questions. On Fridays, they present this information to their classmates.“I think the more choices we have in ourschool the more students we will help develop into the kind of citizens that weneed,” Principal Marianne Young explainsin the film.In the video, teens express their satisfactionwith the program because it holds different kinds of learners, even those whodon’t always succeed in a traditional study situation.“I have difficulty in reading andwriting. School has always been a big problem for me,” one student namedSergio explains in the video. “If it were not for this program, I don’tknow if I’d be graduating - I don’t know where I’d be right now. I think t hishas really been my savior and got me through thelast two years of high school.”(1)What is the Independent Project about?A . Various activities for students.B .

He performs badly in the Independent Project.4. 阅读理解Thecolor of food might affect just how much you want to eat them, but what about the birds in your neighborhood?Would they care what color their food is?Try this out for a science fair project, or just to learn something new while making your local birdshappy.Begin this experiment with the question “Whatcolor of birdseed, if any, will birds like the most?”,and then make a hypothesis based on your question.An example might be “Birds will eat more green birdseed than other colorsof birdseed.”You should get several bird feeders. Purchasebirdseed that is very light in color. To color the birdseed, pour it into abowl and then add food coloring that you can purchase from the store. Mix themup well with a spoon and continue to add coloring until all the seed iscolored. You should sample at least a few colors and have one feeder with seedthat has not been colored—this is called the control and it will give yousomething to compare your results to. Now just hang them up outside in the samelocation, and wait for your featheredfriends to show up. This works best in an area where birds are used tofeeding from a feeder—it can take birds over a week to find new feeders.Observe your bird feeders whenever possible, and keep track of how much seed is in each bird feeder each day. Aruler is helpful for this. You might also want to take pictures of the feedersand keep track of what kind of birds visit each feeder. Over time, you should be able to see if one color of seed gets eaten more thanothers.Onceyour experiment is done, you will be able to go backto your hypothesis and see if it is corre ct. Remember, it’s not bad if yourhypothesis was wrong. The main thing is that you’ve learned something from yourexperiment, and hopefully you had some fundoing it.(1)What’s the purpose of this experiment?A . To see what color birds like most.B . To make local birds happy.C . To see if the color of food affects birds.D . To find how local birds feed themselves.(2)What’s the second step for this experiment?A . Observing bird feeders.B . Raising a question.C . Collecting all the data.D . Making a hypothesis.(3)The underlined words “feathered friends” in Paragraph 3 refer to .A . feedersB . birdsC . neighborsD . locals(4)What is the most important about the bird feeders?A . They are filled with some water.B . They are placed in secret places.C . They are painted in different colors.D . They are all the same size and type.二、任务型阅读5. 根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
