You're almost bound to run into someone somewhere; it's something we're dealing with in this day and age", Bambrough said. "But preventing collisions isn't the reason we did it---we did it to arouse the students' attention. It's meant to be there for people to look at and enjoy. "Still, when talking to Utah Valley students, it sounds like texting and walking can be quite the annoyance. Robbie Poffenberger, an assistant news editor at the UVU Review, said that most collisions he witnesses aren't human-on-human; rather,it's generally human-on-inanimate-object. "They walk into barriers-chairs on the side of the hallway, or railings, "Poffenberger said, "I'm sure they're fairly embarrassed. "24. What do we learn about the "texting l ane” from the text?A. It is a special campus culture in Utah Valley University.B. It is used to encourage the campus culture.C. It is painted on a staircase leading to everywhere.D. It is popular with students in universities.25. According to Bambrough, _______.A .the "texting lane" is to attract students' attentionB. we don't have to face the problem in this ageC. what they did is to prevent the collisionsD. students enjoy looking at each other26. How do students feel about texting and walking?A. They are worried.B. They are annoyed.C. They are puzzled.D. They are surprised.27. What would most students run into from what Robbie said?A. Students in the same direction.B. Teachers opposite to them.C. Barriers on campus.D. Grass on campusCMore than billion cups of coffee are drunk throughout the world each day, and it's likely that many taste bitter. Now, a new study suggests that coffee fans can make their drink sweeter by changing the color of their cups.Researchers from Oxford set out to prove whether the claim that coffee drunk from a white cup tastes biter was true. They used 36 volunteers and three different colored cups---blue, white and transparent glass--- to examine the claim.In one experiment, the white cup increased the intensity (浓度) of the coffee taste relative to the transparent cup. Then, in a second experiment, coffee drunk from the white cup was found to taste less sweet when compared to the other colored cups, while the blue cup made the coffee taste the sweetest.The scientists believe that the color brown may be associated with bitterness, and coffee in a white cup appears the brownest.“Our study clearly shows that the color of a cup does influence our se nse of the coffee taste,” leading author Dr. George Doorn, wrote in an article for The Conversation. “The effect of the color of the cup on the taste of the coffee reported here suggests that cafe owners should carefully consider the color of their cups,” he said. “The potential effects may spell the difference between a one-time purchase and a return customer.”Actually, the idea that color can change the food and drink taste came out many years ago. A study published last year reported that red, strawberry-flavored cake served on a white plate was rated as 10 percent sweeter than the same food presented on a black plate.28. The passage is mainly about _____.A. the popularity of sweet coffee.B. an experiment made in Oxford.C. the effect of cup color on coffee's tasteD. useful tips on how to make coffee.29. In which cup will coffee taste the sweetest?A. A white cup.B. A blue cup.C. A transparent cupD. A brown cup30. Café owners should consider their cups'color in order to ______.A. reduce the daily expensesB. show their taste in coffeeC. appeal to more customersD. make their café different.31. We learn from the passage that_____.A. coffee in a white cup tastes sweeter than that in a transparent glassB. over 2 billion cups of sweet coffee are drunk worldwide each year.C. Dr. George Doorn wrote an article about making conversations.D. the idea that color could affect the taste of drink is not new.DIt is widely acknowledged that nearly every kid might come across some kind of school bullying, however, the age at which kids first fall victim to bullying (欺侮）could influence how strongly they are affected, suggests a new study. And, surprisingly, it is not the youngest kids who are hurt the most in the long term. Bullying can have long-lasting effects, but particularly when it begins in adolescence, the researchers say. People subjected to either verbal (口头的）or physical bullying are known to be at greater risk of developing depression, anxiety disorders or to behave violently. But not everyone reacts in this way.Children bullied for the first time before they hit adolescence seem to get over it, but those who are bullied for the first time later on in adolescence seem to become more aggressive or are more likely to turn to drink as the conclusions of psychologist Matthew Newman and colleagues of Texas at Austin, US.The team gave questionnaires to nearly 1, 500 college students regarding their experience of physical and psychological bullying before adolescence-before high school-and in late adolescence-at high school. They assessed mood and mental state, judging by signs of anxiety or depression, such as sleeplessness. The group was also questioned about how they would react to certain challenges, such as humiliation. People who were bullied all revealed slightly higher levels of stress. But while those bullied earlier in life seemed to respond normally to provocation (煽动），people bullied for the first time late in adolescence are more withdrawn and sensitive to violence.There are also sex differences between those bullied for the first time during adolescence, with females more likely to react aggressively when provoked and males are much more likely to turn to alcohol to escape bad situations. The best solution in all cases was strong social support, whether from friends, family or school. Those with no one to share their problems with suffered the most.So perhaps it is best not to shelter children completely from bullying early on, suggests Newman. "They may get stressed, but unhealthy coping really jumps out when they are bullied for the first time later on. "32. What determines the degree of bullying's effect on people according to the study?A. The reason why they are bullied.B. The place where they are first bullied.C. The age at which they are first bullied.D. The person who first bullies them.33. What may happen to those first bullied later on in adolescence according toNewman and his colleagues?A. Some are likely to be more aggressive.B. They seem to easily get over the effect of bullying.C. Most of them will respond to bullying normally.D. Most of them are afraid of sharing their problems.34. What does the underlined word "humiliation" in Paragraph 4 mean?A. Carrying out an important plan.B. Being made to feel ashamedC. Trying hard to survive an accident.D. Feeling hopeless in an emergency.35. The sex differences between people bullied for the first time during adolescence are reflected in_____A. the support they get from the societyB. the effect bullying has on themC. the way they react to provocationD. the type of bullying they receive第二节（共5小题, 每小题2分，满分10分）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。

咸阳市实验中学2023-2024学年高二下学期第一次月考英语试卷学校：___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解The goal of the "Clean & Green" home recycling initiative (倡议) is to assist households in reducing their environmental footprint by providing step-by-step instructions on effective recycling practices.Understanding Recycling TypesPlastics: These include bottles, containers, and other packaging materials. Always clean plastics before recycling to avoid pollution.Paper: Newspapers, magazines, and cardboard are recyclable. However, soiled or wet paper should be discarded as regular waste.Glass: Bottles and jars of all colors can be recycled. Ensure they are free of food waste.Metals: Common recyclables are aluminum cans and tin foil (锡纸) . Remove any food waste before disposal.Steps for Effective Home RecyclingCollection: Use separate bins for each type. Mark containers to avoid confusion.Preparation: As mentioned above, clean the items. This prevents waste and increases the recyclability of the materials.Storage: Avoid overfilling recycling bins. Overpacked bins might lead to improper sorting at recycling facilities.Drop-Off: If your city doesn't offer roadside pickup, locate your nearest recycling drop-off point.Stay Informed: Recycling guidelines can change. Regularly check city websites for "Clean Green" updates.Recycling DOs and DON'TsDO: encourage neighbors and friends to adopt recycling habits; invest in composting (堆肥) if possible; it's another great way to reduce waste;DON'T: mix different types in one bin; recycle dangerous or electronic waste with regular recyclables；Benefits of Recycling：Reduces landfill (垃圾填埋) waste.Conserves natural resources and energy.Prevents pollution by reducing the need for raw materials.Supports public health by minimizing exposure to harmful things.Join the "Clean Green" initiative today and play your part in creating a bright future for the next generations!1．The primary goal of the "Clean Green" initiative is to _____.A.sell recycling binsB.encourage compostingC.update recycling guidelines frequentlyD.reduce households' environmental footprints2．Which of the following materials needs to be cleaned before recycling?A.Paper.B.Metals.C.Plastics.D.Glass.3．Which of the following statements is TRUE?A.It's important to stay updated on recycling guidelines.B.Electronic waste can be recycled with regular recyclables.C.You should mix different types in one bin to save space.D.Wet paper is preferred for recycling as it's easier to process.Recent research highlights that the last meal of the day can significantly affect our health. The story is not merely about what we consume, but also about when we do so.The debate about dinner timing finds substantial, scientific support with a Brigham and Women's Hospital (BWH) study, suggesting that early dinners could have much health benefits. And it defined an early dinner as a meal consumed three to four hours before bedtime, in line with our body's circadian rhythm (生理节奏) .The BWH study discovered clear differences in metabolic (新陈代谢的) profiles of early and late diners. Early diners demonstrated lower blood glucose levels, improved fat-burning capacity, better sleep quality, and higher energy levels. Meanwhile, late dinners led to increased hunger, slower calorie burning, and higher fat storage, posing risks for conditions like diabetes (糖尿病) .The exact timing of dinner isn't a one-size-fits-all choice, as people's routines vary widely. Maya Feller, a nutritionist based in Brooklyn, NY, emphasizes that our schedules—ranging from traditional nine-to-five to round-the-clock—are critical when considering "ideal" meal times. Therefore, finding a dinner time that fits into your schedule is essential.Wendy Bazilian, DrPH, offers insightful tips for those whose routines may not permit an early dinner. She recommends consuming meals or snacks every three to five hours. Thisregular eating pattern can help stabilize blood sugar levels, preventing the feeling of hunger. Furthermore, it's advantageous to leave a gap of two to three hours between your last meal and bedtime. This gap ensures your body has sufficient time for most of the digestion process—letting you get adequate rest and repair during sleep.So it's time to reconsider not just the contents of your plate, but also the clock. After all, leading a healthy lifestyle isn't merely about counting calories but also understanding when and how to fuel our bodies.4．What did the Brigham and Women's Hospital (BWH) study mainly focus on?A.The recommended daily diet.B.Our body's circadian rhythm.C.The drawbacks of early dinners.D.The importance of dinner timing.5．What may be the result of having an early dinner?A.Enjoying a sound night's sleep.B.Having a strong sense of hunger.C.Storing up more fat in your body.D.Having a higher risk of diabetes.6．What advice does Wendy Bazilian give to the late diners?A.They're supposed to grab some food every 6 hours.B.They should allow for digestion process before bedtime.C.They'd better have access to adequate sleep.D.They are advised to keep their blood sugar level stable.7．What is the purpose of the passage?A.To show the benefits of good dietary habits.B.To share the fact that we are what we eat.C.To tell people the healthiest time to eat dinner.D.To show the importance of eating less in the evening.Stress in teenagers can be reduced by a 30-minute online intervention (干预) aimed at encouraging a growth mindset and seeing the body's reaction to stress as a positive. It interprets physical responses such as a racing heart as potentially performance-enhancing.Mental problems among teenagers are on the rise in the United Kingdom, with rates of probable mental health disorders increasing from one in nine (12%) in 2021 to one in five (20%) in 2023, and there are long waits for access to services in some regions.A study involving more than 4,000 secondary school pupils and university students suggests the new approach could be a low-cost, effective treatment for adolescent stress. "We're trying to change teenagers beliefs and their responses to stressful situations, "said Dr David Yeager, first author of the study. "Actually when you're doing something hard and yourbody starts to feel stressed, that could be a good thing."Yeager and colleagues conducted a series of controlled trials. In one trial, half of 166 students were given the intervention while the rest were not. All the students were then surprised with a request to give a speech about their personal strengths and weaknesses in front of peer evaluators who had been trained to create an unsupportive atmosphere by sighing and frowning. Those who had been given the intervention had lower stress responses, based on heart rate and other physical measures.In another experiment, the intervention was shown to influence academic achievement nine months later, with students 14% more likely to pass classes at the end of the academic year. In the final experiment, teenagers who had received the online intervention reported lower levels of general anxiety several months later.Yeager said the new approach went against the "common principle of self-care" that often appears to view stress as uniquely negative and suggests people "go do yoga or have a camomile tea (甘菊茶) ". "That's a way to take your attention away but it doesn't help you deal with the fundamental cause of stress," he said.8．Why does the author mention the figures in Paragraph 2?A.To provide historical information about the study.B.To present the advantages of the online intervention.C.To explain the necessity of providing the public services.D.To stress the severity of mental problems in UK teenagers.9．What is teenagers' misunderstanding of stress?A.It is something negative.B.It is something positive.C.It has no influence on other people.D.It contributes to their growth10．From the controlled experiments, we know the intervention might ______.A.make teenagers more responsible for themselvesB.do good to teenagers' physical and mental healthC.help students evaluate their strengths and weaknessesD.prove efficient in ridding teenagers of stress immediately11．What does Yeager think of the new approach?A.It casts new light on the cause of stress.B.It changes people's perspective on stress.C.It respects people's opinions about self-care.D.It relieves teenagers' stress more effectively.The term "Hudson River school" was applied to the foremost representatives of nineteenth-century North American landscape painting. Apparently unknown during the golden days of the American landscape movement, which began around 1850s and lasted until the late 1860s, the Hudson River school seems to have emerged in the 1870s as a direct result of the struggle between the old and the new generations of artists, each to assert its own style as the representative American art. The older painters, most of whom were born before 1835, practiced in a mode often self-taught and monopolized by landscape subject matter and were securely established in and fostered by the reigning American art organization, the National Academy of Design.The younger painters returning home from training in Europe worked more with figural subject matter and in a bold and impressionistic technique; their prospects for patronage in their own country were uncertain, and they sought to attract it by attaining academicwhat in previous years had been referred to as the American, native, or, occasionally, New York school—the most representative school of American art in any genre—had by 1890s become firmly established in the minds of critics and public alike as the Hudson River school.The sobriquet was first applied around 1879.While it was not intended as flattering, it was hardly inappropriate. The Academicians at whom it was aimed had worked and socialized in New York, the Hudson's port city, and had painted the river and its shores with varying frequency. Most important, perhaps, was that they had all maintained with a certain fidelity a manner of technique and composition consistent with those of America's first popular landscape artist, Thomas Cole, who built a career painting the Catskill Mountain scenery bordering the Hudson River.A possible implication in the term applied to the group of landscapists was that many of them had, like Cole, lived on or near the banks of the Hudson. Further, the river had long served as the principal route to other sketching grounds favored by the Academicians, particularly the Adirondacks and the mountains of Vermont and New Hampshire different ways.12．According to the passage, what was the function of the National Academy of Design for the painters born before 1835?A.It mediated conflicts between artists.B.It supervised the incorporation of new artistic techniques.C.It supported their growth and development.D.It determined which subjects were appropriate.13．Where did the younger generation of painters receive the artistic training?A.In New Hampshire.B.In the Adirondacks.C.In Vermon.D.In Europe.14．The underlined word "factions" is closest in meaning to "______".A.peopleB.sidesC.citiesD.images15．What is the best title for the text?A.Hudson River SchoolB.The Nature's NationC.Early Painters and Their DrawingsD.North American Landscape Painting二、七选五16．What to do about climate change?With scientists warning that 2024 could be the warmest ever, and destructive wildfires tearing through communities, the climate crisis is no longer a distant threat. ①______ Use energy wisely.Using energy with wisdom is one way to cut your carbon footprint. It's not just about how much energy you use, but when you use it. ②______ When demand is low, or during the brightest part of the day, to use solar can help.③______Aviation (航空) brings a significant challenge in achieving net-zero emissions. Despite accounting for just three percent of global emissions, it is a rapidly growing source and difficult to decarbonize (碳减排) . Reducing air travel is recommended until battery and hydrogen planes become practical. ④______ There is also a recovery of Europe's night trains for low-carbon travel.Grow your own.Whether you have a windowsill or a smallholding, growing your own herbs, flowers or vegetables can be beneficial. Not just to pollinators (传粉昆虫) , which can feed off the plants, but to your mental health. Sure, cultivating a garden isn't going to absorb much carbon.⑤______ And the research suggests it is good for our mental health—particularly amid alarming news about the climate.A.Heat water less.B.No-fly travel companies are making overland travel more attractive.C.Avoid the skies.D.Cultivating a garden to absorb carbon.E.Setting timers for appliances to run through the night.F.But it will help you reconnect with nature.G.Listed below are 3 things you can do to reduce your carbon footprint and save yourself from climate despair.三、完形填空（15空）Painting, the execution of forms and shapes on a surface by means of pigment, has been continuously practiced by humans for some 20,000 years.

When I was in fourth grade, I worked part-time as a paperboy. Mrs. Stanley was one of my customers. She’d watch me coming down her street, and by the time I’d biked up to her doorstep, there’d be a co ld drink waiting. I’d sit and drink while she talked.Mrs. Stanley talked mostly about her dead husband, “Mr. Stanley andI went shopping this morning.” she’d say. The first time she said that, soda(汽水) went up my nose.I told my father how Mrs. Stanley talked as if Mr. Stanley were still alive. Dad said she was probably lonely, and that I ought to sit and listen and nod my head and smile, and maybe she’d work it out of her system. So that’s what I did, and it turned out Dad was right. After a while she seemed content to leave her husband over at thecemetery(墓地).I finally quit delivering newspapers and didn’t see Mrs. Stanley for several years. Then we crossed paths at a church fund-raiser(募捐活动). She was spooning mashed potatoes and looking happy. Four years before, she’d had to offer her paperboy a drink to have someone to talk with. Now she had friends. Her husband was gone, but life went on.I live in the city now, and my paperboy is a lady named Edna with three kids. She asks me how I’m doing. When I don’t say “fine”, she sticks around to hear my problems. She’s lived in the city mostof her life, but she knows about community. Community isn’t so mucha place as it is a state of mind.
