But while for me they represent treasured memories, to others they are more often than not simply a collection of boring, badly composed, out-of-focus pictures. So this year I decided to do something about this by booking myself on a trip to Rome which included photography lessons.The first time I went to Rome, I remember thinking that it was a fantastic place for photographers with a wonderful photo opportunity lying around every corner. Yet by myself I didn't have a clue how to go about getting some good shots. Added to this was the fact that there were crowds of tourists everywhere, blocking all the best views. But this second time things were different. Antonio, my photography tutor, was on hand to give expert advice every step of the way. The first thing Antonio told our group was that the secret to creating a good photographic image rather than just a snapshot(快照)is to first take a long look at what you want to photograph. Our first port of call was Piazza Navona, where Antonio gave us advice about how to photograph the Fountain of Neptune. For the next couple of hours, we wandered around the historic center visiting many of Rome's architectural highlights. I didn't get at all tired, even though I was on my feet for such a long time. And I felt that I was really able to appreciate the sights as I had to look at each one so carefully in order to get good pictures. It felt like a whole new world had opened up to me.I learnt an incredible amount over the next two days, as well as having a thoroughly enjoyable time in one of the world's most beautiful cities. Maybe my friends and family will show a little more enthusiasm when I show them my holiday snaps from now on!4、What motivated the author to book a photography trip to Rome?A. Her interest in trying out a new hobby.B.Her desire to explore the city of Rome.C.Her dissatisfaction with her photography skills.D. Her hope of finding inspiration for her photography.5、Which words can best describe the author's first experience in Rome?A.Confusing and disappointing.fortable and uneventful.C. Fantastic and adventurous.D.Relaxing and interesting.6、What did Antonio suggest concerning photography in Rome?A.Taking multiple snapshots of each subject.B.Observing the subject before taking a photo.C. Avoiding crowded areas for better pictures.D.Looking at surroundings to unlock their secrets.7、How did the author benefit from her photography tour of Rome?A.She began to see things in a new light.B.She understood her friends and family better.C. She was able to appreciate beautiful photos.D. She became more enthusiastic about snapshots.Small sensors powered only by sunlight could float (漂浮) in the sky forever and make weather-related measurements.Flat objects with two sides can be kept up in the air by what is called photophoresis (光泳现象).This occurs when one of the sides absorbs lots of light and the other very little, creating a difference in temperature. Just like how temperature differences in the atmosphere cause winds, this difference makes molecules(分子) move in such a way as to create a lifting force on the object.Benjamin Schafer at Harvard University and his coworkers designed a device that could use photophoresis to lift small weather sensors into the air and wouldn't need motors or batteries to keep up the height.Their device consists of two discs. Each disc is only 100 nanometers thick --- one-thousandth the thickness of a sheet of paper --- and very small holes cover nearly half of the surface, making it very lightweight and easy for heat to flow through it. To maximize the lifting forces on the device, the team decided to cover the top disc with a coating that lets visible but not infrared light (红外线) pass through it, while a coating on the bottom disc did the opposite. This would produce enough lift to keep the device in the stratosphere(平流层) and it would never fall to Earth. The researchers calculated that the device could carry a 300-milligram load of equipment, such as temperature and pressure sensors.Schafer and his coworkers suggest a weather balloon could deliver hundreds of these devices to the stratosphere where they could measure stratospheric winds, which are usefulto Mars, where they could collect data abour the Martian atmosphere.Karen Aplin at the University of Bristol, UK, says that the device might be helpful for solar geoengineering."However, the device's 300-milligram mass allowance (限额) may challenge its practicality. Many instruments would have to be powered by solar cells and adding those, together with other elements, could limit how many more instruments can be added,"she says.8、What makes photophoresis happen?A.Wind force.B.Molecule difference.C. Object shapes.D.Temperature difference.9、How did the designers give the device the strongest lifting force?A.By making holes all over it.B.By coating its discs in the opposite way.C.By increasing its surface area.D.By sending it to the stratosphere.10、What does the underlined word "viable" in paragraph 5 mean?A.Practical.B.Distant.C.Legal.D.Accurate.11、What does Karen Aplin imply about the device?A. Its high costs challenge its practicality.B. It is better than battery-powered sensors.C. It can hardly resist extreme temperatures.D. Its mass allowance may limit its application.As an ecologist and consultant, I have been involved with a range of ecosystem restoration(修复) projects. It is clear to me, as it will no doubt be clear to readers, that ecosystem restoration is crucial. As we seek to ease and adapt to climate change, and work to reverse (逆转) biodiversity losses, restoration is an important part of the global solution. But while it is widely understood that ecosystem restoration is the right thing to do, there is far less understanding about what exactly it means, and how it is to be achieved.One of the most obvious misunderstandings about ecosystem restoration is that it is all about action, especially planting trees. It is important to understand that forest and woodland ecosystems are not the only crucial environments to restore. Ecosystem restoration consists of a huge range of different systems from farmland soils and grassland systems to our seas andoceans.Ecosystem restoration is not always about actively intervene (干预). In many instances, passive intervention can be just as effective, if not more so, than active. This involves simply letting nature take the reins(掌管). But there are situations in which humans have damaged the environment to such a degree that natural restoration is impossible. This is when carefully designed action is required.Another key thing to remember is that we cannot succeed in ecosystem restoration without local people's involvement or, ideally, their leadership. When a community feels a sense of belonging and a deep connection with the land, this provides a firm foundation for future conservation and restoration work.While I dislike taking an overly human-centered view, environmental issues cannot be separated in our complex modern world from socio-economic ones. We need to look at people and the planet as a whole and appreciate the complex web of human life and its interaction with the natural world in order to form practical restoration solutions. It is only when we consider the natural environment and human society as interconnected that we can really continue to make progress.12、Which shows the proper understanding of ecosystem restoration?A. Community-led efforts should be reduced.B. Ecosystem restoration involves a variety of systems.C. Direct action on forest ecosystems should be avoided.D.The more trees we plant, the better the ecosystems will be.13、In what case is active intervention a must?A.Nature fails to restore itself to health.B.The cost of passive intervention is high.C. A large population relies on natural resources.D. Active intervention can improve the local economy.14、According to the last paragraph, what should be done to make practical restoration plans?A. Focusing on the interests of humans.B. Making nature conservation a top priority.C. Conducting a survey of local natural resources.D. Taking both social factors and nature into account.15、What is mainly talked about in the text?A.How people can benefit from ecosystem restoration.B.What challenge people face in ecosystem restoration.C.Why ecosystem restoration becomes increasingly urgent.D. How we can repair damaged ecosystems more effectively.二、七选五16、How to Handle an Argument with Your Family MembersWe've all been there. A relaxed evening with our family members. A lot of laughing. And then, as if someone had sat on the TV remote and changed the channel, the mood shifts. No more warmth. Suddenly there's shouting, a ping-pong of accusations(指责), deadly stares, and hostility(敌意) streaming from eyes like red laser pointers. Having a conflict with your family members is frustrating, and you may feel sad and depressed. ①________ Do remember that as much as it might feel this way, you're not in a court of law with your family members. ②________ .It is to restore kindness and connection. Think of it this way —if somebody wins, both parties lose.Do try to be an advocate of others'feelings. ③________ try to stand in the shoes of your family members. Try to understand their immature ways.④________ ,This might frighten your family members, making them feel accused and in turn, act defensively. Example:"I was on the phone with my sister and then suddenly you started acting like crazy out of the blue."Talk about the way you felt instead. Example:"I was on the phone with my sister and then I suddenly felt scared when I saw you looking at me like I was in trouble."Don't try to explain yourself. You often want to explain yourself when having conflicts with your family members, but you don't have time. You're being cut off and attacked again. ⑤________.The more you talk, the less your family members seem to understand and the further away you get from an agreement.A. If you are looking for a new relationshipB. Don't attempt to prove yourself in the face of your loved onesC. The point of an argument isn't to prove the others guilty or to winD.

浙江省名校2023-2024学年高二上学期12月阶段性联考英语试卷学校：___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解WHEN CHOCOLATE BECOMES A WORK OF ART!Chocolate is delicious, we all know that. But it isn’t just for eating, as these chocolate works of art clearly show.Chocolate MailboxIn 2011, chocolate company Godiva made a chocolate mailbox with white truffle hearts to celebrate Valentine’s Day. The mailbox was on display at its shop on Fifth Avenue in New York City. Customers could post their love letters there, and the company would stamp and mail them for free during the three weeks leading up to Valentine’s Day.Chocolate CouchIn 2009, chocolate company Galaxy used 250 kg of their own chocolate to make a chocolate couch. The couch was a part of their “Irresistible Reads” campaign, which was designed to promote reading. It was put on display in Victoria Embankment Gardens in London. Photos were taken of British TV actress Emilia Fox sitting on the couch reading a book.Chocolate Hotel SuiteIn 2011, French chocolatier Patrick Roger worked with fashion icon Karl Lagerfeld. The room, at the La Reserve hotel in Paris, had a chocolate carpet, chocolate bed and chocolate nightstand full of chocolate books. Sitting on the bed was a chocolate man eating a Magnum ice cream.Chocolate TreeIn 2012, Patrick Roger made a five-metre tree from five tons of chocolate. The sculpture, which was at Roger’s shop in Paris, even had chocolate monkeys hanging from chocolate branches. Roger wanted to raise awareness of the problems facing African wildlife. 1．How much chocolate was needed to make a Chocolate Couch according to the passage?A. 600 kgB. 250 kgC. 5 tons.D. 12 meters.2．Which of the following appeals to wildlife protectors most?A. Chocolate Wall.B. Chocolate Hotel Suite.C. Chocolate Tree.D. Chocolate Mailbox.3．In which column of a newspaper can the passage be found?A. SportsB. Science.C. Culture.D. Fashion.Losing an eye might be an unthinkable thing, especially for a young woman, but not for Xintong. She chose to become an ocularist (义眼师) who makes prosthetic eyes (义眼) for herself and people in the same situation to help them get back their confidence. Xintong is the name that she gave to herself – which she prefers people to call her instead of her real name –because “xintong” in Chinese sounds like “new pupils”.Nearly 10 years after losing her right eye in a car accident, 28-year-old Xintong from Beijing transformed the hollow of her eye socket –a “flaw” she used to hide – into a fashion statement. She shared a short video online in which she wears a glowing prosthetic eye. As she waves her hand, the prosthetic eye begins to shine with red light. With another wave, the light changes to green and then purple and white.The video soon went viral on social media, with many comments praising her for being “creative”, “beautiful” and “optimistic”. But that wasn’t the case 10 years ago.“The prosthetic eye I wore at that time was torturing me,” Xintong said. “It hurt and gave me a red and swollen eye socket, and it looked so dull and fake. I was young and I wanted to look attractive.”She took matters into her own hands and began researching prosthetic eyes. Beginning in 2019, she dedicated about two years to mastering the production techniques and skills under the guidance of an ocularist. This journey led her to establish her own prosthetic eye studio, providing personalized services for those requiring them.She produces prosthetic eyes as if she is creating pieces of artwork. “The posi tion, direction, and even stroke thickness of the blood streaks on the prosthetic eyeballs matter,” the ocularist said. Sometimes she also paints special patterns according to customers’ needs: twinkling stars, cartoon characters like Cardcaptor Sakura and effects like colored contact lenses.Now when Xintong hears her customers say words such as “Finally, I can accept myself” or “Now I feel free to take selfies”, she feels deeply moved.4．Why did Xintong give the name "Xintong"to herself?A. To attract more people.B. To forget her real name.C. To look like new pupils.D. To start a brand new life.5．Why did the video gain much popularity on social media?A. The prosthetic eyes had various colors.B. She cured her hollow by waving her hand.C. Many comments praised her for her beauty.D. She changed a “flaw” into a fashionable state.6．What can we learn about Xintong from paragraph 5?A. She failed to set up her own prosthetic eye studio.B. She began researching prosthetic eyes on her own.C. She was able to offer some specific services on prosthetic eyes.D. She paid no attention to grasping the production techniques and skills.7．What can be inferred from the passage?A. Xintong is a woman with determination and creativity.B. Becoming an ocularist helped Xintong gain much profit.C. Xintong lost all her hopes in her life after the car accident.D. Many customers are deeply moved by Xintong’s artworksPeople’s likelihood of being vegetarian seems to be influenced by several genetic variants, and two of the three most important genes found so far appear to be involved in fat metabolism (新陈代谢).Genetic factors are known to influence aspects of diet, such as whether people like coffee or alcohol. To see if genes also affect vegetarianism, Nabeel Yaseen at Northwestern University in Chicago and his team turned to data on about 5300 strict vegetarians and 330,000 meat eaters. They found that three gene variants were more common in vegetarians. Two, called NPC1 and RMC1, are involved in the transport and metabolism of cholesterol and other fatty molecules. The third gene, called RIOK3, has various functions, including affecting the immune system.It isn’t known how these genes may relate to vegetarianism. But one of the chief differences between animal-based foods and plant-based ones is the chemical make-up of their fats or oils, collectively known as lipids (油脂). Yaseen conclude that some people may function better on a vegetarian diet because they are more able to synthesize (合成) certain lipid molecules that are present in meat.Some people who try vegetarianism but give up may be doing so because their body becomes deficient in the essential lipids, says Yaseen. “They decide that this diet is not for them or gradually go back into an omnivore (杂食) diet. Some people might think they just don’t have the willpower.”Another possibility is that the apparently vegetarianism-promoting gene variants affect people’s taste. “Alot of information about genes is yet to be known,” Yaseen says.Richard McIlwain at the UK Vegetarian Society says the number of vegetarians has almost doubled in the UK between 2012 and 2019. “That would seem to suggest something other than potential genetic factors are at play,” he says. “People go vegetarian because, more and m ore, they are concerned about climate, about animal welfare or about their health,” he says, which are more important determinants than physiological factors.8．What's the effect of RIOK3?A. To affect the metabolism of cholesterol.B. To influence the immune system.C. To shift cholesterol and fatty molecules.D. To affect the diet of vegetarianism.9．According to Yaseen’s study. who are more likely to produce lipid molecules appearing in meat?A. Omnivores.B. Meat-eatersC. Vegetarians.D. Weight-losers. 10．What does the underline word “deficient” in paragraph 4 mean?A. lacking.B. limited.C. rich.D. enough.11．Which of the following might Richard agree most?A. Genetic factors are the decisive reasons for being a vegetarian.B. The popularity of vegetarianism has been on a sharp increase globally.C. People choose to be a vegetarian mainly for ethical and health concerns.D. Some people fail to be a vegetarian because they tend to give up halfway.The rainforests are alive with the sound of animals. Besides the pleasure of the din, it is also useful to ecologists. If you want to measure the biodiversity of a piece of land, listening out for animal calls is much easier than digging about in the undergrowth looking for tracks. Bu t such “bio-acoustic analysis” is still time-consuming, and it requires an expert pair of ears.In a paper published on October 17th in Nature Communications, a group of researchers led by Jörg Müller, an ecologist at the University of Würzburg, describe a better way: have a computer do the job. Smartphone apps already exist that will identify birds, bats or mammals simply by listening to the sounds they make. Their idea was to apply the principle to conservation work.The researchers took recordings from across 43 sites in the Ecuadorean rainforest. Sound recordings were taken four times every hour, over two weeks. The various calls wereidentified manually by an expert, and then used to construct a list of the species present. As expected, the longer the land had been free from agricultural activity, the greater the biodiversity it hosted.Then it was the computer’s turn. The researchers fed their recordings to artificial-intelligence models that had been trained, using sound samples from elsewhere in Ecuador, to identify 75 bird species from their calls. “We found that the AI tools could identify the sounds as well as the experts,” says Dr Müller.Of course, not everything in a rainforest makes a noise. Dr Müller and his colleagues used light-traps to capture night-flying insects, and DNA analysis to identify them. Reassuringly, they found that the diversity of noisy animals was a reliable proxy (指标) for the diversity of the quieter ones, too.The results may have relevance outside ecology departments, too. Under pressure from their customers, firms such as L’Oreal, a make-up company, and Shell, an oil firm, have been spending money on forest restoration projects around the world. Dr Müller hopes that an automated approach to checking on the results could help monitor such efforts, and give a standardized way to measure whether they are working as well as their sponsors say 12．Which of the following best describes Dr Muller's method of bio-acoustic analysis?A. Costly.B. Impractical.C. High-tech.D. Labor-consuming. 13．What can we learn from the research of Dr Muller?A. The species in the rain forests have increased.B. Agricultural activity negatively influenced the richness in species.C. There are more reliable sound recordings in Ecuadorean rainforest.D. Trained AI models can identify as many kinds of sounds as experts.14．Why did the Dr Muller and his colleagues do the survey in Paragraph 5?A. To figure out the species of quieter animals.B. To confirm the biodiversity of the quieter animals.C. To emphasize the biodiversity of the noisy animals.D. To compare the noisy animals and the quieter ones.15．What's the main idea of the last paragraph?A. The investment in bio-acoustic analysis.B. The importance of forest restoration projects.C. The standard to measure the automated approach.D. The research’s impact on forest restoration projects.二、七选五16．There are two kinds of people climbing a mountain. The first, they are smiling, laughing and fully enjoying the journey no matter the effort they have taken. Another group, however, they are struggling. They have to stop and catch their breath 10 times on the way up.①_______It’s their lifestyle choices. We’ll give you three main reasons your pursuit of health and youth through lifestyle choices is an essential.You should build a strong foundation now.You probably know people who’ve survived a horrific disease —and it was said that their preexisting physical and spirits str engthen their bodies for battle and made them better equipped to endure stresses. That’s true with the recent COVID-19 pandemic: Severe cases are more likely for those with preexisting conditions, such as obesity, diabetes, heart disease, chronic lung disease and so on.②_______That is, healthy choices will help prevent chronic disease and set you up for a long life.It’s unclear how many reboots you’ll get.Perhaps in a utopian 25th-century world, there will exist some places that allows you to walk into a booth, press a few buttons, and erase every cigarette you’ve smoked, every couch you’ve potatoed, every potato you’ve ever fried.③_______Your ability to maximize their effectiveness will depend on your commitment to improving your biology through proven means: nutrition, physical activity, sleep, not smoking, and stress management.④_______The human brain remains the final biological frontier. So even if science ultimately allows us to correct our cells, genes, and other mechanisms that make our bodies work, when your brain goes, you will too.⑤_______And the steps are the same as those you can take to protect the rest of your body.A. What's the difference between them?B. No matter what happens, your brain needs you.C. You have the ability to change how your brain works and reacts.D. The same thinking will apply when we're talking about longevity.E. So you will definitely self-engineer your DNA switches to protect your brain.F. Your longevity depends more on the aggregate of what you do most of the time.G. But for the near future, it’s far more likely that your reboot chances will be limited.三、完形填空（15空）I didn’t really plan to learn percussion (打击乐器).
