【原文】M: Hi, I’m Rick Steves. If you’ve been with us from the beginning, you’ll know that we began our tour in Amsterdam, walked our way through Germany and Austria, down into Italy, back up through Switzerland and this week we are in Paris. We won’t spend much time at the big attractions. In a tourist destination like Paris, even a new traveler knows to see the famous art museums of Paris and no one misses the Eiffel Tower. But we’re going to some of the places the average tourist misses. For instance, the best view in town may not be from the top of the Eiffe l Tower, but from the top of the Montparnasse Tower. The view includes the Eiffel Tower as well as everything else. It’s cheaper and easier to get up here. We can join a ride on a public bus. I like the views from Line 63. Or we can cruise through Paris in one of their river tour boats. To cover more territory, traffic and streets for you, I ride the subway. Many European cities have subway systems, the one in Paris is really amazing. You can go anywhere in town for a reasonable price. And don’t worry, getting lost is cheap. In fact, you could stay underground all day long on one ticket about the cost of a cup of coffee.

They also factored in the emissions savings from replacing concrete and steel.(在世界资源研究所的一份报告中，Searchinger和他的同事们模拟了2010年至2050年期间，建筑中使用更多木材将如何影响排放，其中包括砍伐木材产生的排放。他们考虑了各种类型的森林和用于建筑的部分木材。他们还考虑了更换混凝土和钢材所节省的排放)”可知，第二段主要介绍新研究的过程。故选A。

【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Ali Amiri at Aalto University in Finland says the report’s conclusions about emissions from rising demand are probably correct, but the story is different for wood we already harvest. “Boosting the efficiency of current harvests and using more wood for longer-lived purposes than paper would cut emissions,” he says. “We cannot just say we should stop using wood.”(芬兰阿尔托大学的Ali Amiri表示，报告中关于需求增长导致排放的结论可能是正确的，但对于我们已经收获的木材来说，情况就不同了。他说：“提高当前收成的效率，将更多的木材用于比纸张更长久的用途，将减少排放。我们不能只是说我们应该停止使用木材。”)”可知，Ali Amiri对此研究结果从正反两方面都进行了说明。由此推知，其态度是客观的。故选D。

作文1【参考范文】
Dear Jones，
How is everything going It’s been a while since I started my academic life here as an exchange student, but I’m still in great appreciation of what you have done for me on the very first day of my enrollment.
As a freshman in a totally alien environment, I had to carry luggage loaded with bedding stuff as well as a bag full of daily supplies. Then came your timely assistance, which saved me a lot of energy. What’s more, on the way to the dormitory, but for your accurate guidance and precise introduction to different areas around, I would have already been lost in such a vast campus.
Again, I’d like to extend my heartfelt gratitude for your volunteer work, and desire to treat you to a movie. Hope to receive your reply soon.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
作文2【参考范文】
Then she turned and, with a smile, settled her kids in the waiting room. Though warm, it was uncomfortable for children, who nestled closely by the Christmas tree. The youngest kid was staring at gifts on the tree, exclaiming something to her mother. Unfortunately, she was met with refusal, which failed her to hold back tears. Guilty and upset, great sorrow clouded the mother. The rest froze, with eyes falling on their little sister. Realizing they were homeless, I went back and told my colleagues what had happened.
My colleagues, complaining about working Christmas, turned to sympathy for the homeless family. Soon we were busy preparing presents for our unexpected guests, who just wanted to stay warm on Christmas Day. With gifts in hand, the kids were wild with joy. A flush of happiness filled the waiting room and we were able to locate a shelter that would take the family in. As they were leaving, the mother hugged each us and whispered, “You’re our angels and it’s your love warms us up! As they disappeared into the far distance gradually, a strong sense of satisfaction poured into my mind. While I didn’t celebrate the festival with my loved ones, I extended warmth to the homeless family. Sometimes, only a little kindness can light something shining, making the world more beautiful and harmonious.2023—2024 学年第二学期高二第一次月考

A Florida teen is gaining national attention with her graduation speech and a basket of strawberries. “Care for some strawberries ” Brenda said at her graduation from Mulberry High School. After jokingly acknowledging there might not be enough, she went on, “These are no ordinary strawberries.” She held up a series of strawberries, revealing what each represents: sweat, dirt, aches, and pains.
Brenda described herself as the daughter of two tireless farmers who immigrated from Mexico and spent most of their days working in fields of strawberries, blueberries, and cucumbers. “My motivation has been rooted in my immigrant culture.” Because of this, she chose to focus on that in her address. “Many students used to be ashamed of their upbringing but today, we’re proud of what makes us.”
She explained how she grew up under poor conditions. “I’m motivated by my parents’ hands that lose feeling from laborious work. Despite the hot sun and body pains, they back me up heart and soul in my education, which weighs more strongly with me than anything else. I must work hard and succeed.” Brenda’s heading to Stanford University this fall. She also credited some of her outstanding achievements to her teacher Higgins, who helps immigrant students and the poor.
Her speech has been viewed by thousands online. “Hearing it touched other people’s hearts who said they understood my message, I’m struck the same,” Brenda said later. The principal of Mulberry High School, Michael Young, was one member of the audience getting emotional. “The speech was very powerful—her fruit did help paint a good picture of things she wanted to convey,” Young said.
As for her message to young people struggling, Brenda said, “Past circumstances aren’t in charge of your future. If you’re from a poor family, use every resource and try to better yourself. You’re the author of your story.”
24. Why did Brenda bring strawberries to her graduation
A. To share her home-grown fruit. B. To show hardship her parents faced.
C. To better illustrate her speech’s topic. D. To explain the importance of motivators. 25. What affected Brenda most in terms of her academic success
A. Help from her teacher. B. Her life experience.
C. Her native culture. D. Support from her parents. 26. How did Brenda feel about the viewers’ response online
A. Proud. B. Sympathetic. C. Awkward. D. Moved.
27. What did Brenda convey to the young
A. Life is what you make it. B. Every cloud has a silver lining.
C. Everyone deserves a good life story. D. Resources in hand decide your future.

Andy Kong has worked very hard to get to where he is today. He credits becoming a
millionaire by 20 to his strict Asian parents who tutored him at a young age by working for the family.
Kong, of Danville, Virginia, started working when he was only nine. English wasn’t a
strong suit for Andy’s parents, and that’s where he was able to assist his family the most. After school and on weekends he would help out at their family-owned restaurant and nail salons. Not only did he do the labor work, but he was also involved in creating online ads. This was his
introduction to the world of online business.
Andy started his Amazon business in the eighth grade. When he learned about Amazon
Dropshipping (代发货模式) from a kid he saw on Instagram, he got inspired and decided to give it a try. Unfortunately, the store eventually got shut down because he was impatient with the
growth. Instead of considering it a failure, he viewed this experience as a life lesson and learned from his mistakes. Meanwhile, his parents never stopped trying to talk him into focusing on
school and their retail business.
“The biggest challenge when starting a business is getting someone to believe in you,” Andy says. He pushed through and did things for himself even when his loved ones discouraged it.
In 2019, Andy met his now business partners, and together, they created an Amazon
management company called Project WiFi. This Project has proven to be extremely successful. They currently help over 55 clients run their online businesses, and plan to help many more in the future.
When asked about the secret to his success, Andy says, “Learning to sacrifice whether that’s family, friends, or soccer game for a single goal is the only way to succeed, rather than attempting multiple things. If it’s worth doing then it’s worth doing well with no shortcuts.” 28. Why did Andy work in his parents’ shops at a young age
A. Because he could earn some pocket money.
B. Because his parents weren’t fluent in English.
C. Because his parents could help with his study.
D. Because he could get access to the Internet.
29. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about
A. A new online business model. B. Results of working impatiently. C. Difficulties in Andy’s career. D. Andy’s tense family relationship. 30. What does Andy think contributes to his success
A. His early working experiences. B. Lessons learned from his failures. C. Gaining other people’s trust. D. Focusing on the thing you choose. 31. Which of the following can best describe Andy Kong’s personality
A. Committed and generous. B.Open-minded and motivated.
C. Creative and faithful. D. Hard-working and sociable.
D
Research has found that using wood for construction instead of concrete and steel can
reduce emissions. But Tim Searchinger at Princeton University says many of these studies are based on the false foundation that harvesting wood is carbon neutral (碳中和). “Only a small
percentage of the wood gets into a timber (木料) product, and a part of that gets into a timber product that can replace concrete and steel in a building,” he says. Efficiencies vary in different
countries, but large amounts of a harvested tree are left to be divided into parts, used in short-lived products like paper or burned for energy, all of which generate emissions.
In a report for the World Resources Institute, Searchinger and his colleagues have
modelled how using more wood for construction would affect emissions between 2010 and 2050, accounting for the emissions from harvesting the wood. They considered various types of forests and parts of wood going towards construction. They also factored in the emissions savings from replacing concrete and steel.
Under some circumstances, the researchers found significant emissions reductions. But
each case required what they considered an unrealistically high portion of the wood going
towards construction, as well as rapid growth only seen in warmer places, like Brazil. In general, they found a large increase in global demand for wood would probably lead to rising emissions
for decades. Accounting for emissions in this way, the researchers reported in a related paper
that increasing forest harvests between 2010 and 2050 would add emissions equal to roughly 10 percent of total annual emissions.
Ali Amiri at Aalto University in Finland says the report’s conclusions about emissions from rising demand are probably correct, but the story is different for wood we already harvest.
“Boosting the efficiency of current harvests and using more wood for longer-lived purposes than paper would cut emissions,” he says. “We cannot just say we should stop using wood.” 32. What is wrong with previous researches according to Searchinger
A. They got wrong statistics. B. They used an incorrect concept.
C. They included too many factors. D. They were applied in limited countries.
33. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about
A. The process of the new research. B. The background of the new study. C. The challenge of the new research. D. The achievements of the new study. 34. When will the emissions drop off greatly according to the new study
A. When wood grows slowly.
B. When wood is largely used to make paper.
C. When wood is largely used in construction in countries like Brazil.
D. When wood is largely harvested in countries like Brazil.
35. What is Ali Amiri’s attitude toward the new result
A. Favorable. B. Doubtful. C. Critical. D. Objective.

根据下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
The icy wind howled across the empty street and it was an unusually quiet day in the emergency room on December 25th. Quiet, that is, except for the nurses who were standing around the nurses’ station complaining about having to work on Christmas Day, for people were supposed to be spending time with their families, exchanging gifts and wishes.
I was guiding nurse that day and had just done clean-up in the waiting room. Since there
were no patients waiting to be seen at the time, I returned to the nurses’ station for a cup of hot coffee that someone had brought in for Christmas. Just then, a colleague came back and told me I had five patients waiting to be evaluated.
I was surprised, “Five, how did I get five; I was just out there and no one was in the waiting room.”
“Well, there are five signed in.”
So I went straight out and called the first name. Five bodies showed up at my guiding desk, a pale short woman and four small children in untidy clothing.
“Are you all sick ” I asked suspiciously.
“Yes,” she said weakly and lowered her head.
“Okay,” I replied, unconvinced, “Who’s first ” One by one they sat down, and I asked the usual beginning questions. When it came to the descriptions of their symptoms, things got a
little vague. Two of the children had headaches, but the headaches weren’t accompanied by the normal body language of holding the head or trying to keep it still. Two children had earaches, but only one could tell me which ear was affected. The mother complained of a cough, but
seemed to work to produce it.
Something was wrong with the picture. Our hospital policy, however, was not to turn away any patient, so we would see them. When I explained to the mother that it might be a little while before a doctor saw her because there were several more critical patients. She responded, “Take
your time; it’s warm in here and there is a Christmas tree.”
注意：
1.续写词数应为 150 左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Then she turned and, with a smile, settled her kids in the waiting room.
