湖南省长沙市第一中学2023-2024学年高三上学期第二次月考英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解“Unfortunately, 85 percent of what makes us attractive or less to mosquitoes(蚊子) is hardwired in our genetic circuit board,” says Winegard, author of The Mosquito: A Human History of Our Deadliest Predator. Still, there are ways to outsmart summer’s most annoying party crashers, especially if all you want is to enjoy an evening on your patio (露台).Know your blood typeOnly female mosquitoes feed on humans, and for good reason: The proteins in your blood help them grow and mature their eggs. “She’s just being a good mom,” Wineguard says. “People with blood type O are her top of choice. They get bitten twice as much as people with blood type A, with blood type B falling in between.”Stay cool“Mosquitoes hunt by both smell and sight,” Wineguard says. “They can smell the carbon dioxide and see the heat signature of their target.” Avoiding alcohol can keep your body temperature lower— making you harder to find — so consider choosing a cocktail instead.Wear light colorsAvoiding dark clothing can also keep you cooler, but that’s not the only reason it may offer relief. Mosquitoes, like many biting flies, are attracted to darker colors. The thinking behind this is that the animals they typically feed upon are larger, dark-bodied mammals(哺乳动物).Get rid of standing waterEven a glass of drinking water left on the deck can become a breeding ground for mosquito eggs — and mother mosquitoes lay about 100 eggs at a time. “They don’t need very much at all to breed. It can be a backyard toy , like a truck that has a bit of water in it, or a crushed pop can,” says Winegard. If you get rid of it, they’ll go somewhere else to lay their eggs.1．What’s the intention of this text?A．To introduce a new book.B．To offer professional tips.C．To analyze a study of insects.D．To suggest throwing a party.2．Why does a female mosquito feed on human blood?A．To hatch more eggs.B．To raise a large family.C．To identify blood types.D．To fully develop her body.3．What can we learn about mosquitoes according to Winegard?A．They can trace the smell of alcohol.B．They have energy-locating abilities.C．They feed off dark-bodied animals.D．They need abundant water to breed.The Malaysian actress, Michelle Yeoh, 60, shared some wisdom with the American Film Institute’s newest graduating class in a speech as she accepted an honorary doctorate of fine arts at the class of 2022 graduation ceremony.She recalled her early years in the industry. After an injury dashed her dreams of going into ballet, Yeoh bounced back at a gym where several stuntmen(特技替身演员)trained and ended up learning some tricks of the trade from them.“The first thing they taught me what to do was to tuck and roll, then how to fall on my side, and then how to fall on my back. And after a while, it dawned on me that they were teaching me how to fall,” she recalled. “And they said to me, ‘How are you going to go up if you don’t know how to come down?’” “That lesson sticks with me to this day. I had to learn how to fall. Well, you could say I learned it in my bones, literally,” Yeoh added.The actress mentioned jumping off a 20-foot highway overpass for one stunt, in which she over-rotated (旋转), causing her back to fold in half and a stunt went wrong. “I didn’t land properly, but I completed the scene,” she said.“These moments taught me perseverance, courage and humility,” she said. “They also taught me to hone my skills and eventually progress to the point where I was running on rooftops and jumping onto moving trains. I’m not asking you all to do that, okay? What I want to share with you today is that our slips and stumbles(绊跌)are the secrets to our flight. Trust me, that’s part of the deal. Success without failure is called luck. It cannot really be repeated or relied upon. It is from failure that we learn and grow,” Yeoh continued.The Crazy Rich Asians star concluded her speech: “Be courageous, take chances, break barriers, be proud of what makes you unique.” “And most importantly, don’t be afraid to fall, for you are learning to fly,” Yeoh said.4．What can we learn about Michelle Yeoh from the first two paragraphs?A．She was tricked by several stuntmen.B．She was passionate about working out in a gym.C．She won a doctor’s degree in fine arts despite her old age.D．She was terribly defeated by an injury and discouraged in her early years.5．What lesson did Michelle Yeoh learn from the stuntmen?A．God helps those who help themselves.B．Misfortune might be a blessing in disguise.C．Successful people are learning experiences with others.D．The greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.6．What does the underlined word “hone”in paragraph 5 mean?A．Believe.B．Sharpen.C．Restore.D．Dominate. 7．What are the keys to our success according to the text?A．Mistakes and failure.B．Luck and humility.C．Courage and pride.D．Opportunities and skills.“It’s a natural question,”Dr. Holt-Lunstad said the “ideal”number of friends. “Just like we have guidelines and recommendations for the amount of sleep we get and how physically active we are, this is health relevant.” While she and other friendship researchers admit there aren’t many studies that have specifically tackled the question of how many friends people should aim for, those that have been done offer a range.Dr. Degges-white recently conducted a survey of 297 adults, which has not been published or subject to peer review but found that 55 percent of participants believed two to three close friends was ideal, while 31 percent thought four to six was was the goal. But friendship and intimacy are subjective, and there isn’t a widely used scale researchers share to define those concepts across studies. It’s also unclear how social media factors into all of this, as research suggests the size of a person’s online network may not have any meaningful impact on their perceived well-being.While friendship research offers some standards, it may be more useful for most of us to consider if you need more friends. Dr. Marisa Franco recommends starting with a fairly obvious but powerful question: Do I feel lonely? “Also, different people bring out different parts of us. So when you have a larger friend group, you’re able to experience this side of yourself that loves golf, and this side that loves cars,” she added. “If you feel like your identity has sort of shrunk, or you’re not feeling quite like yourself, that might indicate youneed different types of friends.”Of course, making friends in adulthood isn’t always easy. Research shows people struggle with it because they find it difficult to trust new people. For those reasons, it is often easier to start by reawakening old relationships. The amount of time you actually spend with your friends matters, too. Franco suggests that on average, very close friendships tend to take around 200 hours to develop. But spending time with friends you feel ambivalent (情绪复杂的) about — because they’re unreliable, critical, competitive or any of the many reasons people get under our skin — can be bad for your health.8．Which statement would Dr. Holt-Lunstad probably agree with?A．Healthy friendships contribute to quality sleep.B．There have been guidelines for making friends.C．Two to six close friends may be the most ideal.D．Friendships can be crucial factor in well-being.9．How was Dr. Degges-White’s survey?A．It summarized the statistics in previous studies.B．It set standards on the exact number of friends.C．It distinguished between friendship and intimacy.D．It dismissed the influences of social media factors.10．According to Franco, you have to make new friends if _________.A．your friend circle is large enough B．you have a wide range of hobbiesC．your personal identities are restricted D．you lead an unhappy adulthood life 11．What matters in maintaining close friendships according to Franco?A．Quantities of time.B．Meeting frequency.C．Your healthy moods.D．Personalities of friends.Many robots track objects by “sight” as they work with them, but optical (视觉的) sensors can’t take in an item’s entire shape when it’s in the dark or partially blocked from view. Now a new low-cost technique lets a robotic hand “feel” an unfamiliar object’s form — and skillfully handle it based on this information alone.Roboticist, Xiaolong Wang in University of California, San Diego and his team wanted to find out if complex coordination (协调) could be achieved in robotics using only simple touch data. The researcher attached 16 contact sensors, each costing about $12, to the palmand fingers of a four -fingered robot hand. These sensors simply indicate if an object is touching the hand or not. “While one sensor doesn’t catch much, a lot of them can help you capture different aspects of the object,” Wang says. In this case, the robot’s task was to rotate (旋转) items placed in its palm.The researchers first connected a large volume of touch data as a virtual robot hand practiced rotating objects, including ball. Using binary contact information (“touch” or “no touch”) from each sensor, the team built a computer model that determines an object’s position at every step of the handling process and moves the fingers to rotate it smoothly and stably.Next they transferred this capability to operate a real robot hand, which successfully manipulated (操纵) previously unencountered objects such as apples, tomatoes, soup cans and rubber ducks. Transferring the computer model to the real world was relatively easy because the binary sensor data were so simple; the model didn’t rely on accurate measurements.Digging into what the robot hand perceives, Wang and his colleagues found that it can re-create the entire object’s form from touch data, informing its actions. He and his team are set to present thier handiwork at an international conference called Robotics: Science and Systems.New York University’s Lerrel Pinto, who studies robots’ interactions with the real world, wonders whether the system would become less effective at more complicated tasks including opening a bottle cap. Wang’s group aims to tackle more complex movements in future work as well as to add sensors in places such as the sides of the fingers. The researchers will also try adding vision to improve touch data for handling complicated shapes.12．What may contribute to the ineffectiveness of the optical sensors?A．Poor visibility.B．Blocked roads.C．Complicated tasks.D．Inaccurate calculation.13．What do paragraphs 3-4 focus on?A．Stimulating the robot fingers to move the items steadily.B．Increasing the precision of touch of the robot hand.C．Comparing the computer world with the real circumstances.D．Testing if touch information can facilitate the formation of the object shape. 14．What is the attitude of Lerrel Pinto towards the system?A．Neutral.B．Suspicious.C．Favorable.D．Pessimistic.15．What is the best title for the text?A．Robotics: Science and SystemB．New Robot Rotates Items SkillfullyC．New Robot Hand Works by Feel, Not SightD．From the Computer Model to the Real Robot Hand二、七选五Which is more important for people, book learning or experience? Some have spent their lives studying and gradually acquiring valuable deep knowledge. They are afraid to start andthe book, make mistakes, and learn from this experience.The debate between book learning and experience has been going on for a long time. There is no clear “right answer” yet, but there is strong evidence that experience gives us important skills that can’t be learned in books.17 Of course, reading the best books on learning gives someone knowledge, but experience gives know-how. It comes from practicing again and again. Professionals can make themselves because they devote their work, practice, and time to obtaining this position instead of managing to read books only. This distinguishes them from all the others.Reading more books about something doesn’t lead to success. You can acquire a lot of knowledge by reading, but there are also ways to accumulate knowledge through experience. Knowledge is theoretical, but experience is distinguished by the fact that you can put into practice what you have learned in a book. 18Book learning to understand a concept is important. But if you can’t understand the application of the concept in real time, the concept is useless. Experience allows you to put the learned concepts into practice. 19 You can’t effectively learn important skills without applying these concepts to real life.Certainly, the experience can lead to failure. But you can also learn from that failure and lead to success. 20 Therefore, experience is your greatest ally(盟友) in professional development if you want to understand the theory behind the concept, become an expert inthis field, keep the technique in mind, and gain valuable insights through failure.A．In contrast, others don’t worry about anything.B．You can learn a lot from books on self-learning.C．Of course, with these concepts, experience is acquired.D．This is valuable knowledge that is not found in any book.E．It is also an opportunity to test and challenge your knowledge.F．Through experience, you can also learn how to interact with people.G．Neither scientists nor doctors have read books only and become experts.三、完形填空Growing up in New Delhi, I saw Barbie as more than just a doll. She was the centralbedroom floor.As much as I loved Barbie, our time together could only last so long. Eventually, I grew 23 that I still played with my Barbie dolls while my middle-school friends had all moved onto more “mature” 24 . Barbie became similar with being a fake, “plastic” girl, whose bright pink clothing 25 my friends and me.By the tender age of 12, my friends and I had become 26 all girlish things, and Barbie topped our list of items to grow out of. Every 27 we took up instead seemed either gender-neutral or traditionally masculine (男子气概). For a 28 period I took up watching football to look cool (say exactly a month).Looking back, I feel like we were missing the point: Barbie was simply a blank canvas upon which to draw our ideas. It was our own 29 that we had come to abuse her for wearing pink clothes and having blond hair. That is why I appreciate the way the Barbie movie is being 30 . The movie 31 and Barbie’s bright pink colors are everywhere — there are 100 or more co-brand products, and you can get everything Barbie-pink from sports facilities to make-up and shoes. In Malibu, there is a pink hotel 32 after Barbie’s pink Dream House.In an interview, the director Gerwig said the team had many meetings just to settle on the correct 33 of pink for the movie — one that was beautiful but “not too fashionable”, she said, “because when I was a little girl, I loved the pinkest, brightest things”,without a hint of the 34 that I and my peers had of Barbie all those years ago, which would have been really important to me as an adolescent girl who often felt 35 in her femininity (女子气质).21．A．theme B．character C．argument D．conflict 22．A．assigned B．gathered C．created D．staged 23．A．embarrassed B．satisfied C．curious D．aware 24．A．peers B．hobbies C．ladies D．companies 25．A．involved B．caught C．offended D．connected 26．A．worried about B．passionate for C．content with D．dismissive of 27．A．appointment B．journey C．recreation D．challenge 28．A．difficult B．contemporary C．brief D．spare 29．A．fault B．memory C．experience D．selection 30．A．marketed B．captured C．illustrated D．filmed 31．A．settings B．promotions C．results D．witnesses 32．A．operated B．managed C．organized D．modeled 33．A．symbol B．design C．image D．shade 34．A．imagination B．judgment C．ignorance D．appreciation 35．A．interrupted B．sympathetic C．unsettled D．familiar四、用单词的适当形式完成短文阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

Below, she recommends other novels shaped by place.The MeadowJames Galvin (1992).Galvin narrows his novel’s focus to a river in south-eastern Wyoming, the site of three generations’ struggle and achievements. “I often find myself reading each sentence twice, just to enjoy the unexpected twists of Galvin’s prose (散文). ”What Is Not Yours Is Not Y oursHelen Oyeyemi (2016).Everything about this story collection delights and puzzles the soul, in a way of experiencing the terrifying fairy tale for the first time. Each story feels like working around you in a kind of harmony you can’t even begin to comprehend until the final line.Orange WorldKaren Russell (2019).“Every new book of Russell’s instantly takes its previous book’s place as my favorite.” Place, in each of these time-jumping, world-warping stories — which unfold a map of place both real and imagined — provides physical, social, and emotional pressures on both character and reader.The Bluest EyeToni Morrison (1970).“Morrison’s novel remains my favorite, possibly owing to the particular feelings produced by its place and personhood, and its suggestion that how you experience the world is governed by age, race, and whether or not one grows up loved.”36．What do the four novels have in common?A．They have similar plots.B．They are shaped by place.C．They have the same background.D．They are written by Téa Obreht.37．Which of the statements is true about What Is Not Yours Is Not Yours?A．It fills the reader’s heart with terror.B．It’s a story collection without harmony in each story.C．It’s a prose authored by Helen Oyeyemi.D．The harmony in it can not be understood until the end.38．How does Téa Obreht evaluate Karen Russell and her Orange World ?A．It takes on a dynamic and mysterious atmosphere.B．The reader feels their pressures taken off when they read it.C．Téa always likes Karen’s new book better than her previous one.D．It presents social conflicts in different times and worlds.39．What do you know about The Bluest Eye from the last paragraph?A．Its place and personhood impress Téa Obreht a lot.B．It advocates ecological balance in nature.C．It suggests a connection between love and success.D．Age and gender impact how you experience the world.I’ve worked in the factories surrounding my hometown every summer since I graduated from high school. But making the transition between school and full-time blue-collar work during the break never gets any easier. For a student like me who considers any class beforenever seem to understand why I’m so relieved to be back at school or that my summer vacation has been anything but a vacation.There are few people as self-confident as a college student who has never been out in the real world. People of my age always seem to overestimate the value of their time and knowledge. In fact, all the classes did not prepare me for my battles with the machine I ran in the plant, which would jam whenever I absent-mindedly put in a part backward or upside down.The most stressful thing about blue-collar life is knowing your job could disappear overnight. Issues like downsizing and overseas relocation had always seemed distant to me until my co-workers told me that the unit I was working in would shut down within six months and move to Mexico, where people would work for 60 cents an hour.After working 12-hour shifts in a factory, the other options have become only too clear.When I’m back at the university, skipping classes and turning in lazy re-writes seems too irresponsible after seeing what I would be doing without school. All the advice and public-service announcements about the value of an education that used to sound stale now ring true.These lessons I’m learning, however precious, are always tinged (带有) with a sense of guilt. Many people pass their lives in the places I briefly work, spending 30 years where I spend only two months at a time. “This job pays well, but it’s hell on the body,” said one co-worker. “Study hard and keep reading,” she added.My experiences in the factories have inspired me to make the most of my college years before I enter the real world for good.40．How did the author look back on his summer days while at college?A．They brought him nothing but torture.B．They were no holiday for him at all.C．They were a relief from his hard work at school.D．They offered him a chance to know more people.41．Which of the following is closest to the underlined word “torture” in the first paragraph?A．Misery.B．Fortune.C．Anxiety.D．Availability. 42．What does the author say about college students?A．They expect too much from the real world.B．They have little interest in blue-collar life.C．They think too highly of themselves.D．They are confident about their future.43．What, according to the author, is most frustrating for blue-collar workers?A．They do not get decent pay.B．They do not have job security.C．They have to work 12-hour shifts.D．They have to move from place to place.44．Why does the author feel somewhat guilty?A．He realizes there is a great divide between his life and that of blue-collar workers.B．He looks down upon the mechanical work at the assembly line.C．He has not done much to help his co-workers at the factory.D．He has stayed at school just for the purpose of escaping from the real world.45．In what important way has the author’s work experience changed him?A．He learned to be more practical.B．He acquired a sense of urgency.C．He came to respect blue-collar workers.D．He came to appreciate his college education.Dreams, according to Carl Jung, reveal a certain amount of reality hidden during waking consciousness. In Jungian philosophy, the conflict and chaos experienced in dreams finally bring order to our lives. While Jung’s mystical theories are debatable, he was not mistaken about the importance of dreaming. A growing number of reports show that a continuous lack of dreaming is damaging our waking hours in many ways.This trend is causing damage to our immune and metabolic systems, let alone the electronic products that keep us up late at night are ruining our sleep patterns, which has long-term consequences on our memory system. One study showed that not allowing mice to have adequate amounts of REM (Rapid Eye Movement) sleep, the stage in which we dream, the mice couldn’t strengthen memories.You might think this is just a sleep problem, but dreaming is inseparable from our nighttime rest. We sleep in cycles, each lasting about 90 minutes; in a sleep cycle, we go through non-REM sleep before hitting REM. As the night progresses, REM sleep periods increase in length while deep sleep (one of the stages of non-REM sleep) decreases. The longer we sleep, the more time we spend in REM, which is why we are often dreaming when waking up in the morning. If we sleep less than seven hours, however, it becomes harder to achieve this level of REM.The combination of sleeping and dreaming acts as an emotional stabilizer. We recover from emotional hurt faster when we sleep and dream properly. However, we’re not getting enough sleep to cycle through the stages to take advantage of this natural circadian anti-depressant (抗抑郁剂) — dreams. Instead, we get depressed and turn to alcohol or medicines to get to sleep, which only makes things worse because even one drink leads to late REM while anti-depressants promote deep sleep at the expense of REM.We’re paying for this lack of dreaming in many ways. For example, a 2021 study stated that compared with quiet rest and non-REM sleep, REM promoted the formation of associative networks and the integration of unassociated information. V olunteers thatexperienced more REM sleep were better equipped for solving problems requiring innovative solutions.Rowan Hooper, the managing editor at New Scientist, writes that dreams that include an “emotional core” appear to be a main function of REM sleep and that we should look at sleep patterns as seriously as we do diet and exercise habits.46．What’s Carl Jung’s view about dreams?A．They cause chaos.B．They damage immunity.C．They reveal secrets.D．They mirror reality.47．Why is the sleep process explained in Paragraph 3?A．To show a dream mainly occurs during REM sleep.B．To prove the minimum sleep time should be seven hours.C．To prove dream problems and sleep problems are attached.D．To show people often dream when waking up in the morning.48．Which of the following statements is true according to the author?A．Deep sleep is one of the stages of REM sleep.B．Adequate REM sleep contributes to a better memory.C．A sound sleep without dreams brings about stable emotions.D．The longer we sleep, the less time we spend in REM.49．What conclusion can be inferred from Paragraph 5?A．Dreaming promotes creativity.B．Dreaming helps fight depression.C．The brain still receives new information during REM sleep.D．The brain is paying the price for having more non-REM sleep.50．What’s the main idea of the passage?A．The importance of sleep lies in dreams.B．The absence of dreams is terrible for us.C．Dreaming patterns are more important than we realize.D．Dreaming has mystical power of strengthening memories.Many years ago, I bumped into an old friend of mine. He had devoted his life to acting but had never been quite successful. In his middle age, he seemed defeated and sad.I thought of his dogged perseverance. Was it smart or foolish? What could he haveachieved? Had he quit his dream of acting and moved on? Our culture does not look kindly upon quitting. Failure is perfectly acceptable as long as it eventually results in success.We chant “Winners never quit” and “If at first you don’t succeed, try again.” We lap up stories of persistence, of the author who submitted stories for years before her novels were published or of the athlete who trained since childhood to win gold at the Olympics.Persistence pays off when it is rewarded with success, but it does not reward every person. For every JK Rowling, there are thousands of aspiring writers who will never get published. For every Olympic athlete, there are innumerable others who trained every day of their lives and never made the cut.We all agree that doing the same things and expecting a different result is unwise. So why do we believe that persevering through failure after failure is a good idea? We consider quitting in the face of failure to be weak. We believe that perseverance is the key to success. Perseverance is only one part of success. You need talent or skill, as well as passion and drive. Luck and timing are also key to any great success.Our society believes that anything is possible, as long as you “believe”. But not everyone can make it. Quitting when you’ re not ahead is sometimes the smartest thing to do. Obviously, if you enjoy a pursuit, regardless of its outcome, you should continue. If you knew your novel would never be published, would you want to write? If you could never be a champion swimmer, would you still train? Sometimes, it is wise to put your energy into something else.Failure is not always the path to success. Sometimes, failure is the door to something new.51．What do we know about the author’s old friend?A．He was dissatisfied with his acting performance.B．He switched his dream of acting to something else.C．He failed in acting because of a lack of persistence.D．He failed in all attempts to become a successful actor.52．The author mentioned JK Rowling mainly to ______.A．explain how she achieved success in writingB．show that success doesn’t happen to everyoneC．prove that success favors those who are perseverantD．encourage readers to pursue their dream until they succeed53．What is the meaning of the underlined phrase in paragraph 4?A．Held on to their dreams.B．Met the required standard.C．Improved their performances.D．Promised to be good players.54．What does the author advise us to do if we’ve failed many times?A．Make an effort to try new things.B．Stick to your goal until we succeed.C．Wait for the right time and good luck.D．Ask friends or family members for help.55．Which of the following do you think is the best title for the passage?A．Stick to your dream--anything is possibleB．Perseverance: the secret to successC．Flexibility vs. PerseveranceD．Perseverance-the only access to success?四、阅读表达阅读表达Why are so many people unhappy in their jobs? There are two primary reasons. First, some people are convinced that earning a living is wasting time that they could spend enjoying themselves or uncovering their true talents.If this is the case with you, recall your last long vacation. Was it two weeks of complete enjoyment? More likely it was a week and a half of fun in the sun, with another half a week of “Boy, I can’t wait to get back to work.” If you didn’t feel such vacation blues, then imagine taking a leave of absence. You could use it to work on a novel, attend classes or just sit around watching TV. At the end of three months, in all likelihood, your self-respect would be at an all-time low. While all work and no play are not good, all play and no work are disastrous. We need to feel we are accomplishing something. We also need some form of order in our lives.The second and perhaps more common reason for people not to like their work is that they feel trapped. Once you’ve been at a company for five years and get married, have amortgage and a child, you often feel you have very little choice about jumping ship if things aren’t turning out as you’d planned. A steady paycheck can be the biggest restrict of all. People hate having to do something because they have no other choice.If you find yourself hating your job, your option takes the form of an up-to-date resume. You might also take a weekly glance through the help-wanted section, and make some visits to industry functions where low-key networking can take place. You’re not giving up on your current job. Rather, you are providing yourself with an option. If things get unbearable at work, you could jump ship.At the core of adopting a positive attitude to your workplace is, above all, assuming responsibility for your own situation. Most people feel controlled by their environment, but they really aren’t. They have to learn to manage that environment so they can get from it what they need.56．What are people likely to do after a long vacation according to the author?
