AOne of my wonderful memories is about a Christmas gift. Unlike other gifts, it came without wrap(包装).On September 11th, 1958, Mum gave birth to Richard. After she brought him home from hospital, she put him in my lap, saying. "I promised you a gift, and here it is." What an honor! I turned four a month earlier and none of my friends had such a baby doll of their own. I played with it day and night. I sang to it. I told it stories. I told it over and over how much I love d it!One morning, however, I found its bed empty. My doll was gone! I cried for it. Mum wept and told me that the poor little thing had been sent to a hospital. It had a fever. For several days, I heard Mum and Dad whispering such words as "hopeless", "pitiful", and "dying", which sounded ominous.Christmas was coming. "Don’t expect any presents thi s year." Dad said, pointing at the socks I hung in the living room. "If your baby brother lives, that'll be Christmas enough." As he spoke, his eyes were filled with tears. I'd never seen him cry before. The phone rang early on Christmas morning. Dad jumped out of bed to answer it. From my bedroom I heard him say. "What? He's all right?" He hung up and shouted upstairs. “The hospital said we can bring Richard home!""Thank God.'" I heard Mum cry. 第二页From the upstairs window, I watched my parents rush out to the car. I had never seen them happy. And I was also full of joy. What a wonderful day! My baby doll would be home.I ran downstairs. My socks still hung there flat. But I knew they were not empty; they were filled with love!21. What happened to the author on September 11th, 1958?A. He got a babyB. He got a Christmas gift.brother.C. He became four yearsD. He received a doll.old.22. What does the underlined wo rd “ominous” in Paragraph 3 probably mean？A. Impossible.B. Boring.C. Easy.D. Fearful23. When Christmas was coming,the father’s feeling wa s _____.A. Excitement.B. Happiness.C. Sadness.D. Disappointment.24. What is the passage mainly about?A. A sad Christmas dayB. Life with a lovely babyC. A special Christmas gift.D. Memories of a happy familyBDriving while talking on a hand-held mobile phone has long been considered a danger. But even drivers who use hands free devices are a nuisance – because they are slowing everyone else down, according to a study.David Strayer, a psychology professor in Utah University’s traffic lab, conducted a study involving 36 university students driving on motorways. Each used a hands free phone for half the trip bu t not for the other half. The students were told to obey posted speed limits and use turn signals but the rest of the driving decisions were up to them. What Strayer found is that when the drivers were distracted（使分心）by a phone conversation, they made fewer lane（车道）changes, drove slower and took longer to get where they were going. Fellow researcher Professor Peter Martin, who teaches civil and environmental engineering at Utah University, said, “Ordinarily a slower driver should be safer，but that’s not the case when people are talking on a cell phone.”In general, drivers who used mobile phones while driving took three percent longer to drive along the same high-density route than drivers wh o didn’t. When stuck behind a dawdling(磨蹭的) driver, it took them between 25 and 50 seconds longer to switch to an open lane to overtake. Those delays can add up when you consider studies that suggest as many as 10 percent of US drivers are using a cell phone at any one time. And delays in traffic streams of very small amounts can grow into massively when drivers are crossing a highway.” Our next step is to use computer models to determine just how much those delays are costing drivers in time and in extra fuel costs,” Martin said.25. What does the underlined word in the first paragraph mean?A. A person who is a volunteer.B. A person who breaks the traffic lawC. A person who causes troubleD. A person who is annoyed by others.26. Which of the following is TRUE , according to Martin?A. The more slowly a person drove, the safer he was.B. Measures should be taken to stop using mobile phones. 第三页C. Drivers using hand-held phones had less effect on traffic than those using hands free phonesD. Driving while using mobile phones could cost drivers time and money.27. The passage is mainly about .A. traffic conditions in rush hours.B. the use of mobile phones in the USAC. using hands free devices behind the wheelD. a comparison between hand-held phones and hands free onesCAccording to health experts, cancer will become the leading cause of death in the worldby the year 2016. An agency of the World Health Organization released a report on cancerlast month. Health experts predict the number of people who die from cancer will soon begreater than deaths from AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria combined. The experts say morepeople will die from cancer than heart disease, the leading killer now.The report says one reason for the growing deaths of cancer is more people smokingcigarettes in developing countries. The report says forty percent of the world’s smokersare believed to live in China and India.Other things are believed to have an effect. They include high fat diets , fast foodmeals and reduced physical activity.The WHO report about twelve million people will be found to have some forms of cancerthis year. It predicts that more than seven million people will die early from the disease.And, more than five million of the new cancer cases will involve people in developing countries.The number of cancer cases and deaths from cancer is expected to increase one percent eachyear. Experts are predicting the largest increases will be in China, Russia and India.Without new treatments, the WHO report says, the number of the new cancer patients couldincrease to twenty seven million a year by 2030. The number of them who die each year fromthe disease could reach seventeen million.A few kinds of cancer are more common in some areas. For example, the rate of breast cancer in Japan, Singapore and Korea is now three times what it was forty years ago. Stomach cancer has become more common in some areas where food is often not stored in a cold place. Another report says the number of men and women dying from cancer has dropped in the United States. It is the first reported drop in American cancer cases and deaths since the nation began collecting such information.28. Which of the following best shows the main idea of the passage ?A. Different kinds ofB. Why cancer is such a danger?cancer.C. Cancer will become leading killer.D. Cancer throughout the world.29. From the report of WHO we can see that ______ .A. smoking must be paid attention to in RussianB. today more people die from AIDS than cancerC. cancer is particularly serious in developing countr iesD. cancer has become the leading killer in the whole world30. Which of the following is WRONG ? 第四页A. It is important to do moreB. We must quit eating fast food at once. exercise.C. Having a healthy diet does good toD. Smoking does great harm to people’s healthus31. We can infer that the passage will most possibly talk about ______ afterwards .A. ways to prevent cancer spreadingB. the development of fighting cancerC. different kinds of cancer in the worldD. the details of the drop in American cancerDWelcome to our school. You can do a lot of things here. Come and join us.32. You may have a chance to introduce your inventions on _________.A. SundayB. MondayC. WednesdayD.

重庆市第一中学校2023-2024学年高二上学期期末考试英语试卷学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解Lonely Planet’s best in travel destinations for 2024 revealed To mark its 50th anniversary, Lonely Planet’s Best in Travel 2024 has expanded from the top 10 best cities, countries, and regions to include two new categories of best value and best sustainable destinations, recognising a total of 50 locations across the globe offering amazing experiences to enjoy in 2024.Spain tops the sustainable travel list, having taken enormous strides to boost off-season travel, expand renewable energy, spread visitors across the year, and bring tourism to previously overlooked destinations.Wales too has been recognised as one of those leading the way in sustainability, thanks to its rebuilt railways expanding the possibilities of exploring the nation’s wild, wonderful west.And bouncing back strongly from the 2020 bushfires is Kangaroo Island, which remains one of South Australia’s great ecotourism destinations.Slow Travel, a favourite topic with Lonely Planet readers, is celebrated by highlighting the Portuguese Way hiking trail and the continued rise of night trains in Europe.Meanwhile the popular sun-kissed country of Croatia is now easier to explore with the opening of the Peljesac Bridge shining a spotlight on the previously overlooked Peljesac Peninsula and a new highway means it’s now possible to travel directly between Split and Dubrovnik.Algeria, the USA’s Midwest, Greek island of Ikaria and Normandy are just a few of those great value and often overlooked destinations, ideal for the cost-conscious traveller.For those seeking to enjoy the great outdoors, the new Western Balkans’ Cycle Route is set to open in 2024 and Far North Scotland is bidding for UNESCO status for its unsung boggy area and a coastline of heartbreaking beauty.1．Lonely Planet’s has expanded Best in Travel 2024 mainly to ________.A．Response to negative comments on previous lists.B．Fill diversity in Travel Preferences.C．Mark its 50th anniversary.D．Respond to a decline in travel interest.2．What transport development in Croatia makes it easier to explore?A．Opening of the Peljesac Bridge.B．Expansion of renewable energy.C．Repair and rebuilding of railways.D．Building a new highway in Ikaria. 3．For those who love cycling, which place is most appealing?A．North Scotland.B．Croatia.C．Greek.D．WesternBalkans.In October 2023, 3-year-old Journey Castillo completed a quest to visit all 63 of America’s national parks. Her parents, Eric and Valerie Castillo, said she is likely the youngest person to reach that milestone.The family, from San Antonio, Texas, ended their travels with a trip to Katmai National Park and Preserve in Alaska. “Mission complete,” they wrote on Instagram. “After three years of adventure, countless logistics work and not giving up, we could not be more proud to share the conclusion of our quest.” Journey hasn’t been officially verified as the youngest traveler to visit all 63 parks. But more important than the title, her parents say, is the experience.“Our thing was: ‘Let’s… inspire in Journey a passion for nature, inspire in her that she can handle the strenuous parts of the traveling: the environments, the weather changes, different cultures.” Valerie Castillo told The Guardian’s Ramon Antonio Vargas.Before she could walk, Journey Castillo’s parents set out to visit every national park in the U.S. They hiked up Pikes Peak and explored Rocky Mountain National Park, all with an infant in tow. As far as they could tell, Journey seemed to enjoy herself.“We could see her little eyes open and take it all in,” Valerie Castillo told the San Antonio Express-News last year. “She was so aware, even being a few days old. She’s adapted so well.”They then ventured to Grand Canyon National Park — and decided to keep going. They set a goal of visiting 21 parks by Journey’s first birthday, then 42 parks by her second birthday. Eventually, they decided to go for all 63 parks. The family has been documenting every step of the way on Instagram and their website, Journey Go Explore.Reaching the last few parks on their list — all in Alaska — required lots of logistical management, including renting flights, ferry rides, and even special permission from theNational Park Service to visit a seasonally closed park. Though their visit was challenging at times, the Castillos say it helped their daughter develop confidence. Journey walks fearlessly through airports and happily greets park rangers. “When she’s out at these parks, she comes to life, and her personality brightens up,” Eric Castillo said.4．Why did Journey Castillo’s parents take her to visit all America’s national parks?A．To inspire others to be more active.B．To document their travels on Instagram.C．To inspire a passion for nature in Journey.D．To break a record as the youngest traveler.5．What does the underlined word “strenuous” probably mean in the third paragraph?A．identical B．appealing C．mild D．challenging 6．What did the parents perceive about Journey during their visits to national parks?A．She was uninterested in the surroundings.B．She adapted well and seemed to enjoy herself.C．She preferred staying indoors with her parents.D．She only enjoyed specific environments and attractions.7．How did Eric Castillo describe Journey’s personality during those travels?A．Shy and introverted.B．Reliable and anxious.C．Fearful and splendid.D．Enthusiastic and confident.“Don’t be a victim.” That’s a phrase you’ll hear a lot if you take a crime-prevention class. Basically, it means that there are steps you can take to reduce the likelihood that you’ll be mugged, assaulted, or otherwise attacked. Don’t wave your cash around like you’re a billionaire. Don’t be distracted on the subway. Walk with a purpose.That last one is particularly important, because according to a new study from the Journal of Interpersonal Violence, some criminals are very good at sensing weakness based on the way you walk. Actually, serial killer Ted Bundy admitted in a personal interview in 1985 that “he could tell a victim by the way she walked down the street, the tilt of her head, the manner in which she carried herself, etc…” Unfortunately, research demonstrated the reality that criminals do in fact look for, or at least notice certain characters when selecting potential victims. While nothing excuses crime, knowledge is power in the sense that there are things we can do to protect ourselves when we are out alone.In the report titled “Psychopathy and Victim Selection” the researchers surveyed 47 criminals at a maximum-security prison in Ontario and found that social predators are very good at picking victims based on their posture and gait(步伐). They noted that people might be releasing vulnerability to criminals through their postures, gestures, and exaggerated movements.The researchers secretly filmed 12 people walking — eight women and four men, some of whom had been attacked before. Then, they showed the video to a group of criminals and asked them whether or not each person would make a good victim. These “victim ratings” were then compared against each person’s actual history of victimization. Sure enough, the people whom the criminals picked as “likely victims” were usually the ones who had been victimized in the past. These people were often said to have “walked like an easy target” — slowly, unfocused, with short steps.The sample size here is really small. Maybe we shouldn’t give this study’s findings too much weight. Nevertheless, it emphasizes something that seems pretty unconscious. Criminals aren’t looking for a challenge. Rather, they want someone timid and inattentive. So stride down the street like you own it. Your new, aggressive gait may scare off criminals. And even if this study turns out to be total bullshit, you’ll still get where you’re going a lot faster. 8．Why does the author mention the serial killer Ted Bundy?A．To call on more people to learn psychology.B．To prove that someone can be a natural criminal.C．To demonstrate some skills to distinguish criminals.D．To emphasize the importance of the right walking habit.9．How did the researchers conduct their research on victim selection?A．By analyzing crime data in various neighborhoods.B．By filming people walking and getting criminals’ opinions.C．By filming criminals as they selected their potential victims.D．By studying the psychology of crime victims in a maximum-security prison. 10．According to the research which gait will most attract criminals’ attention?A．Distracted walking with short steps.B．Purposeful walking with slow steps.C．Walking with a group of people cheerfully.D．Walking with confident and exaggerated movements.11．What’s the author’s attitude toward walking confidently and aggressively?A．Favorable.B．Doubtful.C．Disapproving.D．Indifferent.I am neither Jewish nor Palestinian, and none of my six regular jobs have anything to do with foreign policy, but the other day I opened Twitter (now called X) after some time offline, only to find people I don’t know demanding that I make a public statement about what’s happening in the Middle East. It seemed that most of the people on social media had made a statement, including various well-known brands, celebrities and lifestyle influencers.I saw lots of random citizens being told that if they didn’t speak out, they, too, would have blood on their hands. Taking a stand on social media instantly will win wild applause but reduces complex issues to a simple yes or no.Those social media posts without serious thinking are not what bother me most, though. Instead, it’s the idea that not posting is wrong — that everyone needs to speak, all the time. It discourages shutting up and listening and letting the voices that matter the most be heard over the noise. It implies it’s not OK to have any uncertainty about what’s going on. It does not leave time or space for people to process disturbing events in their own minds or to gather more information before pronouncing a judgment. It pressures people who don’t have an opinion yet or are working out what they think to produce one opinion immediately and present it to an audience of total strangers on the Internet who will quickly judge whether it’s appropriate or not.“Nothing pays off like self-control of tongue and pen,” writes A．A．’s co-founder Bill Wilson. “We must avoid quick-tempered criticism and extreme anger,” which he calls “emotional idiot got trapped by pride and revenge.” While I’ve regretted posting half-formed thoughts too quickly, I’ve never regretted waiting until I was less angry or not posting at all. 12．Why does the author mention his/her race and jobs in the first paragraph?A．To reflect the author’s professional research background.B．To introduce the topic of the widespread use of social media.C．To discuss the impact of social media violating personal privacy.D．To express dissatisfaction with commenting on something without personal ties. 13．What bothered the author most about social media posts?A．Pressure to take a stand.B．Shutting up and listening.C．Lack of diversity in opinions.D．Complex issues reduced to yes or no.14．What can we infer based on what Bill Wilson said?A．Avoiding creating argument is a virtue.B．Quick-tempered criticism is rewarding.C．Producing immediate opinion is an ability.D．Control of what you say and write is beneficial.15．Which would be the best title for this text?A．“Speak Out for the Disadvantages in a Social Media Age”B．“I Don’t Have To Post About My Anger, Neither Do You”C．“Silence Is Golden: A Guide to Ignoring World Issues Like a Pro”D．“Keep Angry, Keep Reasonable: Avoiding the Mess on Social Media”How to Have Open CommunicationWhen you can communicate openly, you can start improving your relationships, both personal and professional, in a number of ways. 16 There are a few things that you can do when you have an open conversation.17 Be mindful of where and when you need to have a discussion with someone, especially if you are having an important disagreement. Someone is not likely to be open when communicating if you are surrounded by family or out in public. Therefore, have a discussion when it’s more convenient for both you and your partner.Have patience. When emotions are high, it can be easy to be swept in those feelings and want to get all your points across. But this can make communication more difficult because you are so focused on your feelings that you aren’t able to focus on what you need to say. Be patient and allow for silences that happen. 18Take the time to listen to what the other person is saying. 19 This allows you to see if there is any misunderstanding and allows you the time to understand his words accurately. You don’t need to agree on all his words, but it is important to understand where they’re coming from.Be honest with your thoughts and your feelings. Sometimes we feel the need to soften our words to lessen the blow. 20 After all, when we leave out certain details, we’re not able to communicate openly. You need to be honest with your partner about your needsand your experiences. By doing so, you’re hopefully closer to being able to tackle the issue.A．Wait for the appropriate time and place.B．Discuss what you need to communicate openly.C．Bring something positive into your communication.D．This could be because we don’t want to hurt the other person.E．Ask questions if you need to and even repeat what he has said.F．Open communication increases trust and helps bridge differences.G．Sometimes you need time to think and accurately express yourself.二、完形填空Krista Sheneman was diagnosed with diabetes (糖尿病) around five years ago.

Charing Cross.BFor almost two months Dominic York, a 23-year-old hairdresser, wandered about hospitals all night, wearing a white coat and pretending he was a doctor. Yesterday he proudly claimed in court that despite his complete lack of medical experience or qualifications, he had saved several people's lives. He had even been allowed to assist a surgeon during an emergency operation on a patient who was about to die on something she had swallowed.“I watched one of those TV dramas about a hospital and suddenly I felt like playing one of the roles myself. So I put on a white jacket and a stethoscope（听诊器）and walked around one of the biggest hospital in London. At first, I just watched. Once you learn how doctors talk to patients, nurses and other doctors, it's easy to take people in.” he said.One of the patients he treated was Laura Kennan. She had been knocked down by a car and fainted. When she came into hospital, York was standing over her.“He looked very professional. He told me his name was Doctor Simon. Then he gave me some sort of injection." she said. And then he suddenly cleared off when a nurse asked who he was. She didn't think there was anything wrong. "I would never have realized he was a fake if a policewoman hadn't showed me his photograph a week later. When the policewoman told me who he really was, I cou ld hardly believe my ears.”Judge Raymond Adams told York that he was "shocked and horrified,, that he got away with his deceiving（欺瞒）for so long, and then sentenced him to eighteen months in a special prison for criminal with mental disorders.“1 can only hope that this will not lead to further problems. After all, you will have considerable opportunities to study the behavior of the psychiatrists（精神科医生）who will look after you while you are there. If you try to persuade people that you yourself are a psych iatrist after you are set free, 1 shall make sure that you are given a much longer sentence.” Judge Adams warned York.24.York was proud of the fact that.A. a surgeon let him watch an operation.B. he could perform some duties of a doctorC. he had cheated doctors for so longD. people thought he could become a real doctor25.York learned how to behave like a doctor by.A. watching other doctors workB. talking to doctors and nursesC. getting some training and experienceD. observing doctors while he was a patient26.Why was Laura Kennan in hospital?A.She had swallowed something and almost died.B.She had to have an emergency operation.C.She had been injured in a road accident.D.She had lost consciousness while driving.27.The judge's remark implied that York would be more severely punished if he.A. pretended to be a psychiatristB. tried to get away from prisonC. was proud of what he had doneD. studied the behavior of the psychiatristCThe baby is just one day old and has not yet left hospital. She is quiet but alert （警觉）.Twenty centimeters from her face researchers have placed a white card with two black spots on it. She stares at it carefully. A researcher removes the card and replaces it by another, this time with the spots differently spaced. As the cards change from one to the other, her gaze （注视）starts to lose its focus —until a third, with three black spots, is presented. Her gaze returns; she looks at it for twice as long as she did at the previous card. Can she tell that the number two is different from three, just 24 hours after coining into the world?Or do newborns simply prefer more to fewer? The same experiment, but with three spots shown before two, shows the same return of interest when the number of spots changes. Perhaps it is just the newness? When slightly older babies were shown cards with pictures of objects （a comb, a key, an orange and so on）, changing the number of objects had an effect separate from changing the objects themselves. Could it be the pattern that two things make, as opposed to three? No again. Babies paid more attention to squares moving randomly on a screen when their number changed from two to three, or three to two. The effect even crosses between senses. Babies who were repeatedly shown two spots became more excited when they then heard three drumbeats than when they heard just two; likewise （同样地）when the researchers started with drumbeats and moved to spots.28.The experiment described in Paragraph 1 is related to the baby's ______.A. sense of hearingB. sense of sightC. sense of touchD. sense of smell29.Babies are sensitive to the change in___.A. the size of cardsB. the color of picturesC. the shape of patternsD. the number of objects30.Why did the researchers test the babies with drumbeats?A. To reduce the difficulty of theexperiment.B. To see how babies recognize sounds.C. To carry their experiment further.D. To keep the babies9 interest.31.Where does this text probably come from?A. Science fiction.B. Children's literature.C. An advertisement.D. A science report.The word advertising refers to any kind of public announcement that brings products and services to the attention of people. Throughout history, advertising has been an effective way to promote the trading and selling of goods. In the Middle Ages, merchants employed “town criers” to read public messages aloud to promote their goods. When printing was invented in the fifteenth century, pages of advertisements （ads） could be printed easily and were either hung in public places or put in books.By the end of the seventeenth century, when newspapers were beginning to be read by more people, printed materials became an important way to promote products and services. The London Gazette was the first newspaper to set aside a place just for advertising. This was so successful that by the end of the century several companies started businesses for the purpose of making newspaper ads for merchants.Advertising spread quickly throughout the eighteenth century. Ad writers were starting to pay more attention to the design of the ad text. Everything, from clothes to drinks, was promoted with clever methods such as repetition of the firm's name or product, words organized in eye-catching patterns, the use of pretty pictures and expressions easy to remember.Near the end of the nineteenth century, companies that were devoted to the production of ads came to be known as ""advertising agencies （广告商）The agencies developed new ways to get people to think of themselves as members of a group. Throughout the twentieth century, advertising agencies promoted consumerism （消费主义）as a way of life, spreading the belief that people could be happy only if they bought the "right“ products.32.What was advertising like in the Middle Ages?A.Merchants were employed to promote products.B.Ad messages were shouted out in public places.C.Product information was included in books.D.Ad signs were put up in towns.33.What does the word "This" in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. Advertising in newspapers.B. Including pictures in ads.C. Selling goods in markets.D. Working with ad agencies.34.The 18th century advertising was special in its.A. growing spendingB. printing materialsC. advertising companiesD. attractive designs35. Which of the following might be the best title for the text?A. The Story of AdvertisingB. The Value of Advertising DesignsC. The Role of Newspaper AdvertisingD. The Development of Printing for Advertising其次节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）依据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
