She planned to save money to meet the college expense and then seek medical treatment for the cancer.Her father,Clint and her friends didn't want her to put off her treatment due to the expense.They took matters into their own hands and started a GoFundMe campaign. A longtime friend of the family was cofounder of a group named Praynksters,known for random acts of kindness. The friend decided to use their own group to help the family. The group came up with the creative idea to spread the word and invite families,friends, and strangers who wanted to help to take part in a donation activity. The event induced the enormousassistance from the local community.Clint and Amanda were moved as the crowd passed by and the donations poured in. The event brought the family over ＄13，000 in donations to go towards her medicaltreatments.The generous act of kindness gave the family a comforting, and optimistic feeling during a time when all hope seemed lost. Clint said that Amanda struggled with the idea of asking for help. She felt guilty and undeserving compared to others who are also struggling. She is still humbled by it all.After several months of treatment,life for the family has started getting back to theirnormal routine. Once Amanda got her strength back,she returned to school and completed her bachelor's degree. The family is now inspired to volunteer in their local neighborhood and contribute to crowdfunding（众筹）efforts. They are grateful for the opportunity to give back and help others as many have helped them.4.Why did Amanda delay her treatment of cancer？______A. She didn't care about her disease.B. She was in a bad economic situation.C. She had to take care of her family.D. She couldn't find an effective treatment.5.What does the underlined word "induced" in paragraph 2 mean？______A. Made up.B.

Volunteering is very popular in Amanda's community.D. It's quite easy to cure Amanda's cancer.CWhy don't we have eyes in the back of our heads？There are at least two reasons. Eyes are biologically expensive things to make and rear view （后视）eyes don't fit well into the human evolution （进化）.Even animals, such as rabbits, whose main survival advantage is rear vision, have only the side eyes. Rear vision is not so important. There are other species that have evolved this ability by moving the position of their eyes relative to the rest of their head. Many birds have their eyes positioned towards the side of their head,allowing them a very wide angle of vision and,in the case of some birds such as the woodcock,they are positioned so they can actually achieve 360-degree vision. It is also obvious that spiders,which tend to have many eyes, only have them facing forwards.Humans, and probably some other animals, do have another adapted sense to make it up.Many experiments showed that sounds behind the head were noticed by a listener more than sounds to the front,especially if a listener was in a dark room. So,our ears can make up for the lack of rear-facing vision. You can look at it another way. Rear vision is useful only if the potential threat is visible. During human evolution, that was most often not the case.Finally, there is often more than one potential "solution" to a given problem. In many species, the answer to maintaining 360 degree awareness of surrounding danger is to relyon many eyes. Social behavior is common in the animal kingdom and one reason for this is that there is safety in numbers. You might be looking the wrong way when a tigerapproaches, but if your teammates raise the alarm this is as effective as having eyes in the back of your head.8.Why do humans have no rear view eyes？______A. They are bad for human survival.B. They are replaced by other organs.C. They are less likely to spot the danger.D. They are abandoned by natural selection.9.What is the purpose of paragraph 2？______A. To explain why animals have other functional.B. To state rear-view eyes aren't a must for survival.C. To prove rabbits, birds and spiders are very special.D. To show rear view eyes are against the natural selection.10.What does the underlined word "that" in paragraph 3 refer to？______A. The visible threat behind the head.B. Sensitive hearing.C. The Sou sound behind the head.D. Rear vision.11.Where does the text most likely com from？______A. A travel brochure.B. A fiction.C. A science magazine.D. A book review.DThe UK government has promised to cut the country's greenhouse gas emissions （排放）by at least 68% by 2030 compared with 1990 levels, marking a significant increase from its current goal.The new goal comes nine days ahead of the UK hosting a "climate action summit（峰会）" to encourage other countries to declare tougher climate plans,known as NationallyDeter-mined Contributions（NDCs），under the Paris Agreement. Current NDCs will raise temperatures by 3℃. And stronger plans are needed to meet the Paris deal's goal oflimiting global warming to 1.5℃."This is the most significant NDCs announcement so far from any major economy," saidRichard Black at the Energy and Climate Intelligence Unit, a UK-based think tank, in a statement.The new goal is exactly in line with what the government's official climate adviser,the Climate Change Committee,called for in a letter published earlier today. The group said 68% would be "world-leading" compared with existing plans of governments.The UK had previously promised a 53% cut in emissions as part of a joint（共同的）effort with the rest of the European Union, but the UK is determined to produce a new NDCs.Separately,the UK had also promised a 57% cut by 2032 domestically.It is clear that far more action will be needed if the UK is to meet the new goal. Thegovernment's own analysis last week showed that recent major methods,such as banning new oil-fueled car sales by 2030，had failed to do enough to put the UK on track even for the old goal of 57% by 2032. The new goal obviously widens that gap further.12.Why did the UK declare its new goal before "climate action summit"？______A. To show its former plans are based on facts.B. To blame other countries for their low goals.C. To call on other countries to take bigger steps.D. To take the lead in controlling greenhouse gas emissions.13.What is the UK's new goal tor reducing emissions？______A. 15%.B. 68%.C. 57%.D. 53%.14.What's the author's attitude to the UK's new goal？______A. Disapproval.B. Doubtful.C. Unconcerned.D. Subjective.15.What can be the best title for the text？______A. A new goal will be put forward on "climate action summit"B. UK came up with a common goal under the Paris AgreementC. UK's recent major policies are far from its predetermined goalD. UK sets an ambitious climate goal of 68% emissions cut by 2030二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共12.5分）I've always wanted to travel ever since I was young.（1）______ I deeply believe travel makes me richer, not in my wallet, but in my intelligence.（2）______ In general, I have a very hard time trusting people, mostly because I worry they'll lie or take advantage of me.

海南省三亚市某校2023-2024学年高二上学期期末检测英语试题（B卷）学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解Four Inventions That Changed the WorldThe course of human evolution has been filled with inventions. The following inventions changed the world in one way or another.MatchMany of us wonder what life was like before matches. We can thank a British pharmacist and his dirty mixing stick. In 1820s, John Walker noticed a dried lump on the end of a stick while he was stirring a mix of chemicals. When he tried to scrape (刮掉) it off, flames appeared. The initial matches were made of cardboard but soon the matches came in a box equipped with a piece of sandpaper for striking.PenicillinPenicillin was discovered in 1928 when a young bacteriologist, Alexander Fleming, was tidying up his lab. After having been on vacation, he returned to work to find that a dish of Staphylococcus bacteria had been left uncovered, and he noticed that mould (霉菌) on the culture had killed many of the bacteria. His further research found that it could kill other bacteria.Microwave OvenOf all the sci-fi kitchen appliances, the microwave oven really relieves the load on housewives. It was discovered in the 1940s. When Percy Spencer, an engineer, was working on a magnetron (磁控管), he noticed that a chocolate bar in his pocket had started to melt due to the microwaves. Spencer found that indeed, when food was placed in the box with the microwave energy, it cooked quickly.PlasticThe first plastic was invented in 1907 by Leo Hendrik Baekeland. His initial quest was to invent a ready replacement for shellac (虫胶), an expensive product got from lac beetles. Baekeland combined formaldehyde (甲醛) with a waste product of coal, and heated the mixture. Rather than a shellac-like material, he created a substance that didn’t melt under heat and stress.1．Who invented matches?A．John Walker.B．Alexander Fleming.C．Percy Spencer.D．Leo Hendrik Baekeland.2．What had Leo Hendrik Baekeland originally intended to invent?A．A shellac-like material.B．A product from lac beetles.C．A replacement for shellac.D．A waste product of coal.3．What do the four inventions have in common?A．They were the results of joint efforts.B．They were the accidental discoveries.C．They were the fruits of years of research.D．They were unaccepted when coming out.Larry and I have always had our basic values in common, but our interests are as far apart as opera and basketball. I love art, and he is a huge sports fan. His big passion is seeing basketball games. He has been sharing season tickets with his friends for years. I must admit I’ve been always invited to see the games together.This morning, I called my brother, Larry, and said, “I have a piece of good news and a piece of bad news. Which do you want to hear first?” “Good news first,” Larry answered. “You can go to sleep early tonight,” I said. “Okay. What’s the bad one?” he asked. “We’re going to the opera!” I answered, laughing loudly.There was a reason for the joke. The last time I invited him to go to the opera, he fell asleep in the theater. I had to admit it was always boring for him, but when I gave him a ticket for my favorite opera, I really thought he might enjoy it. I woke him up, but soon he fell asleep again. When Larry found I was joking, he breathed a sigh of relief on the other end. He said, “But I want you to go to see the last basketball game this autumn with me.” I promised and complained, “Not again!” Actually, most of the time, when the game was on, I’d be texting or daydreaming. Sometimes, my telephone messages would be interrupted when the home team scored. I knew they scored because everyone jumped up and exchanged high-fives and fist bumps.However, today, as I looked around at thousands of people cheering and getting increasingly excited, I decided to at least give it a try—for my brother’s sake, if not for my own. The game was intense, and I was hooked soon. When the other team scored, I eventually felt a bit disappointed with the rest of my crowd. My brother was surprised to see me getting involved. I was astonished myself! I didn’t keep glancing at the clock, counting the minutesuntil we got out. Time flew. The game was over before I knew it.4．Why does the author quote his conversation with Larry in paragraph 2?A．To show their common values.B．To show their sense of humour.C．To show the trust between them.D．To show the difference in their interests. 5．What was the author’s initial reaction to basketball games?A．Casual.B．Curious.C．Puzzled.D．Pleased. 6．What does the underlined word “hooked” in the last paragraph mean?A．Bored.B．Disappointed.C．Addicted.D．Satisfied. 7．What can be the best title for the text?A．Art and Sport B．From Opera to BasketballC．Cheering for the Home Team D．Developing a Passion for OperaIn 1970s, a psychologist named J. P. Guilford conducted a famous study of creativity known as the nine-dot puzzle (九点谜题). He challenged research subjects to connect all nine dots using just four straight lines without lifting their pencils from the page. All the participants limited the possible solutions to those within the imaginary square. Only 20 percent managed to break out of the confinement (束缚) and continue their lines in the white space surrounding the dots.The fact that 80 percent of the participants were effectively blinded by the boundaries of the square led Guilford to jump to the sweeping conclusion that creativity requires you to go outside the box. The idea went viral. Overnight, it seemed that creativity experts everywhere were teaching managers how to think outside the box. The concept enjoyed such strong popularity that no one bothered to check the facts. No one, that is, before two different research teams-Clarke Burnham with Kenneth Davis, and Joseph Alba with Robert Weisberg-ran another experiment.Both teams followed the same way of dividing participants into two groups. The first group was given the same instructions as the participants in Guilford’s experiment. The second group was told that the solution required the lines to be drawn outside the imaginary box. Guess what? Only 25 percent solved the puzzle. In statistical terms, this 5 percent improvement is insignificant as this could be called sampling error.Let’s look a little more closely at the surprising result. Solving this problem requires people to literally think outside the box. Yet participants’ performance was not improved evenwhen they were given specific instructions to do so. That is, direct and clear instructions to think outside the box did not help. That this advice is useless should effectively have killed off the much widely spread — and therefore, much more dangerous — metaphor (比喻) that out-of-the-box thinking boosts creativity. After all, with one simple yet brilliant experiment, researchers had proven that the conceptual link between thinking outside the box and creativity was a misunderstanding.8．What did the nine-dot puzzle study focus on?A．Visual perception.B．Thinking patterns.C．Practical experience.D．Theoretical knowledge.9．Why did the two research teams run the follow-up experiment?A．To test the catchy concept.B．To contradict the initial idea.C．To collect supporting evidenceD．To identify the underlying logic.10．Which of the following best describes the follow-up experiment?A．Groundless.B．Inspiring.C．Fruitless.D．Revealing. 11．Which is the best title for the passage?A．Puzzle Solving: A Key To CreativityB．Thinking Outside the Box: A Misguided IdeaC．Nine-Dot Puzzle: A Magic TestD．Creative Thinking: We Fell For The TrapA new study shows homing pigeons (鸽子) combine precise internal compasses and memorized landmarks to retrace a path back to their home—even four years after the previous time when they made the trip.Testing nonhuman memory keeping is challenging in research studies. “It’s rare that there is a gap of several years between when an animal stores the information and when it is next required to get it back,” says Dora Biro, a zoologist at the University of Oxford. In a recent study, Biro and her colleagues compared domestic homing pigeons’ paths three or four years after the birds established routes back to their home from a farm 8.6 kilometers away.The study built on data from a 2016 experiment in which pigeons learned routes in different social contexts during several flights-on their own or with peers that did or did not know the way.Using data from GPS devices temporarily attached to the birds’ backs, the researchers compared the flight paths a group of pigeons took in 2016 with many of the same birds’ routes in 2019 or 2020, without the birds visiting the release site in between. Some birds missed a handful of landmarks along the way, but many others took “strikingly similar” routes to those they used in 2016, “It was as if the last time they flew there was just the day before, not four years ago,” says Oxford zoologist and study co-author Julien Collet.The team found that the pigeons remembered a route just as well if they first flew it alone or with others and performed much better than those that had not made the journey in 2016. “The result is not surprising, but it provides new confirmation of homing pigeons’ remarkable memory. It closes the distance a little bit between our overconfident human cognitive (认知的) abilities and what animals can do,” says Verner Bingman, who studies animal navigation at Bowling Green State University and was not involved in the study. 12．What does paragraph 1 mention about homing pigeons?A．The time of leaving home.B．The location of their birth.C．The ways they navigate home.D．The reasons for their taking trips. 13．How did Biro and her colleagues conduct the study?A．Through questionnaires.B．Through information assumptions.C．Through lab experiments on animals.D．Through comparative analysis of data. 14．What did the researchers use to get the pigeons’ flight routes according to paragraph 3?A．Prediction method.B．Tracking method.C．Expert consultation.D．Literature consultation.15．What can we learn about animal cognitive abilities from Verner Bingman’s words?A．They are underestimated.B．They have been declining.C．They are much lower than humans’.D．They have never been confirmed.Reading is often seen as an individual activity, but it definitely doesn’t have to be. If youhere are some of the ways that becoming part of a book club can better your life.17 If so, a book club can help you discover and explore new types, authors, andperspectives (观点). According to a recent survey, 57 percent of book clubbers said they wouldn’t otherwise have read some of the books selected by their book clubs.In such a fast-paced world, sometimes it’s challenging to find the time and motivation to read. By joining a book club, you make a commitment to read the book of the month or the week and discuss your insights with others. 18Reading is one of the most important things you can do for your brain, but reading with other people can make it even better. 19 Being part of a book club can improve your learning skills, such as your memory, comprehension, vocabulary, and critical thinking skills. By discussing the book with others, you are exercising your brain and stimulating new neural (神经的) connections.

海南高二高中英语期末考试班级:___________ 姓名：___________ 分数：___________一、阅读理解1.One of my neighbors used to have a beautiful tree in her front yard. Her dad had planted it for her when it was nothing more than a twig and several years later it started to shoot towards the sky with amazing speed. Soon it blessed her with cooling shade in the summer and glorious, golden leaves in the fall.When the two-day snowstorm struck our town, heavy snow fell on the tree’s branches that were still full of leaves. The weight split that lovely tree down the middle. It was so sad seeing half of it laying on the ground after the storm. When I talked to my neighbor later, she said that the damage had been too much and that the entire tree would have to be cut down. Thankfully she had saved a few saplings(树苗) from it that she hoped to replant inthe future.Still, it was a shock to drive by her house the other day and see nothing but a stump in her front yard. I missed that tree. I missed its beauty, its leaves shinning in the afternoon sun. I missed seeing its limbs reach towards the heavens. I thought that the stump would be a sad reminder of its loss for a long time to come. My wonderful neighbor, though, had another plan. When I drove by her home today I saw a tiny bird feeder sitting on that stump and a colorful songbird having its dinner. It was such an affirmation of life. It was such a joy to see. I could feel my heart smile.Life by its very nature is a mixed bag. It hands us both beauty and tragedy, love and loss, pleasure and pain. What we do with it, however, is up to us. We can let it split us in two, or we can use even its hardest times to make our souls stronger and our hearts more loving. We can spend it complaining or we can use it to help others. 【1】We know from the first paragraph that _____．A．the tree grew very slowly.B．the tree showed its beauty and benefits.C．the author’s neighbor was good at planting trees.D．the tree was so strong that it could bear any weight.【2】The author’s neighbor left a stump in her front yard to use it as_____.A．a good reminder.B．a seat after dinner.C．a place to feed birds.D．a beautiful sculpture.【3】What does the author mainly want to show in the passage?A．Life has beauty and tragedy.B．Life consists of pain and suffering.C．Life should be pleasant rather than painful.D．Life is determined by our attitude towards it.2.Some of the best things in life don’t happen until you grow old enough to recognize them. I can say that about tea.I didn’t start to drink tea until I was 35. What happened before that? The first time I felt a genuine urge to drinktea was in 2003, when I stayed briefly in the United Kingdom. After a time of consuming local food, I started to really like strong black tea. Although it was too strong to my tongue, I felt it was a necessity because it was comforting to my body.I took packs of green teas with me as gifts but was disappointed to find my British friends preferred much stronger black teas from Sri Lanka. Later I learned that although people know China for its teas, it ranks onlythird among the world’s black tea exporters, after Sri Lanka and Kenya.After I came back to China and started to cover food stories, I met friends in the tea-drinking circle and learned more. Although the majority of the rest of the world drinks black tea, which the Chi nese call“red tea”, China produces and drinks mostly green teas.I feel lucky to be Chinese because of the great variety of teas available in the country. It is estimated that there are more than 2,000 teas in China if you divide them geographically, including more than 600 locally famous brews. A more simple way to categorize (分类) is by color and extent of fermentation (发酵). That comes down tosix main categories—green, white, yellow, dark-greenish (oolong), red and black teas.Tasting teas can be compared to our lives. They can be plain and predictable but sometimes they are full of pleasant surprises. Occasionally they can even seem too good to be true. The best thing is, you know there’s always more to explore.【1】Which country ranks first among the worl d’s black tea exporters?A．Sri Lanka B．ChinaC．Kenya D．United States【2】The writer of this passage works as a ________.A．manager B．journalistC．scientist D．tea grower【3】All of the following statements about tea in China are true EXCEPT ________.A．varieties of tea is planted and produced each year in ChinaB．all tea in China can be divided into six categories with no exceptionsC．tea in China can be categorized by color and extend of fermentationD．tea in China can be divided into more than 2000 categories geographically【4】What column does this passage belong to in a newspaper?A．World B．BusinessC．Travel D．Lifestyle3.“You can you up, no can no bb.” The latest Chinglish buzz phrase, having swept through Chinese cyberspace (网络空间) and society, has now made a landing overseas, entering the US web-based Urban Dictionary. According to the entry put forward by “gingerdesu”, “You can you up” which means “If you can do it, go ahead and do it”, is a Chinglish catch phrases referring to people who criticize others’ work, especially when the critic is not so much better.As well as “You can you up”, other Chinglish catch phrases, such as “tuhao” and “no zuo no die”, have also been recorded on the site.Coined with roots in Chinese grammar, and even containing Pinyin, Chinglish words and phrases are even spreading beyond grass roots (草根) websites.In 2013, “dama” and “tuhao” found their way into The Wall Street Journal and the BBC, and words such as “feng shui”, “Chengguan” and “people mountain people sea” have been admitted to the Oxford English Dictionary.“The frequent use of Chinglish by foreign institutions suggests that people a re looking more to the lifestyle and popular culture of China,” says Zhang Yiwu, professor of Peking University’s Department of Chinese Language and Literature.“Words like ‘dama’ and ‘tuhao’ are so vivid. My friends and I use them a lot —it’s so much fun,” said Satoshi Nishida, a Japanese student studying at Beijing Language and Culture University.“Behind these Chinglish words and phrases is the Chinese culture. They are reflections of the changes and trends in the Chinese society and they help people fro m other countries to understand what’s happening in China,” according to Xing Hongbing, a professor of Beijing Language and Culture University.“When the price of gold went down last year, while the super purchasing power of the Chinese bargain-hunting middle-aged women drew worldwide attention, there was no effective way available in other languages to describe them, and ‘dama’ filled the gap very neatly,” says Xing.【1】Why does the author take “dama” for example in the last paragraph?A．To suggest the culture and trends in the Chinese society.B．To show the Chinese women’s super purchasing power.C．To indicate the women drew worldwide attention.D．To inform us that the price of gold went down last year.【2】How many Chinglish words and phrases are mentioned in the passage?A．6B．7C．8D．9【3】Which of the followings is NOT among the reasons why Chinglish become popular?A．Chinglish is reflections of the changes and trends in the Chinese society.B．Foreigners are looking more to the lifestyle and popular culture of China.C．Chinglish is so vivid and much fun such as “dama” and “tuhao”.D．Chinglish is spreading beyond grassroots websites.【4】What can be the best title for the text?A．Chinglish swept through Chinglish cyberspaceB．Behind Chinglish is the Chinese cultureC．Chinglish gains popularity overseasD．Different opinion on Chinglish4.“Heaven (天堂) is where the police are English, the cooks are French, the mechanics are German, the lovers are Italian and everything is organized by the Swiss. Hell (地狱) is where the police are German, the cooks are English, the mechanics are French, the lo vers are Swiss, and everything is organized by the Italians.”Obviously the national stereotypes (模式化的思想) in this old joke are generalizations (普遍化), but such stereotypes are often said to “exist for a reason”. Is there actually a sliver (裂片) of truth in them? Not likely, an international research team now says.“National and cultural stereotypes do play an important role in how people see themselves and others, and being aware that these are not dependable is a useful thing,” said study author Robert McCra e of the National Institute on Aging. “These are in fact unfounded stereotypes. They don’t come from looking around you,” McCrae said.If national stereotypes aren’t rooted in real experiences, then where do they come from? One possibility is that they reflect national values, which may become known from historical events. For example, many historians have argued that the spirit of American individualism (个人主义) has its origins in the experiences of the pioneers on the Old West.Social scientists such as psychologist Richard Robins have given several other possible explanations for stereotypes and why they may be incorrect. Robins notes that some stereotypes may have been correct at one point in history and then remained unchanged while the culture changed.We may be “hard-wired”, to some degree, to keep incorrect stereotypes, since we are less likely to notice and remember information that is different from our stereotypes. Generally, according to Robins, when we meet people who are different from our stereotypes, we see them as unique individuals rather than typical national or cultural groups.【1】The stereotype about Italians is ________.A．romantic but disorganizedB．friendly and good-temperedC．dreamy and impracticalD．strict but thoughtful【2】National stereotypes are not always correct because ________.A．they are formed by individual historiansB．what was true in the past may not be true at the presentC．generalizations are made through personal experienceD．people tend to have false idea about other cultures【3】According to the research team led by McCrae, national stereotypes are ________.A．interesting B．harmful C．humorous D．unreliable【4】The underlined word “hard-wired” in the last paragraph probably means ________.A．forgetful B．anxious C．fixed D．helpless二、其他How to get along with your bossIn your career, you may have to report to a manager, the person you call boss.【1】 Here are some tips to help you develop an effective relationship with your boss.The first step is to develop a positive relationship with your boss. Relationships are based on trust.【2】 Keep timetable commitments (承诺). Never blindside (偷袭) your manager with surprises that you could have predicted or prevented. Keep him/her informed about your projects and interactions with the rest of the organization.Tell the boss when you’ve made an error or one of your reporting staff has made a mistake.【3】Lies or efforts to mislead always result in further stress for you as you worry about getting “caught”. Communicate daily or weekly to build the relationship.Recognize that success at work is not all about you.【4】Identify your boss’s areas of weakness or greatest challenges and ask what you can do to help. What are your boss’s biggest worries? How can your contribution reduce these concerns? Understand your boss’s goals and priorities. Place emphasis in your work to match her priorities. Think in terms of the overall success of your department and company，not just about your narrow world at work.【5】 Does he/she like frequent communication, autonomous employees, requests in writing in advance of a meeting, or informal conversation as you pass in the halfway? Your boss’s preferences are important. The better you understand them, the better you will work with him/her.If you sometimes disagree and occasionally experience an emotional reaction, don’t hold hatred. Don’t make threats about leaving.

Put your boss’s needs at the center of your universe.F. The relationship with your boss is important for your work success and career progress.G. Learning how to read your boss’s moods and reactions is also helpful.三、完形填空Walking down a path through some woods in Georgia, I saw a water puddle (水坑) ahead on the path.
