Which ones should you choose Luckily for you, we have made a list of the best science books that you should not miss.A Short History of Nearly EverythingWritten by Bill Bryson, it is a popular science book that explains some areas of science. It was published on February 4, 2003, and was one of the best-selling popular science books of 2005 in the UK. It explains a variety of scientific topics in a vivid and comprehensive way, which makes it accessible for people with no science knowledge. But it’s quite long.Thing Explainer: Complicated Stuff in Simple WordsIt is a 2015 non-fiction book created by Randall Munroe, in which the author explains various complex subjects using common English words. It covers a wide range of topics and explains complex ideas using illustrations, so it’s entertaining and easily understood. However, the words and phrases used to describe the subjects are too technical to understand.Ask an Astronaut: My Guide to Life in SpacePublished on October 19, 2017, the book is Tim Peake’s personal guide to life in space, based on his own experience. Q&A format makes it easy to quickly find answers and images are used to illustrate some of the more complex ideas, making it suitable for both children and adults. The disadvantage is that the Q&A format can become boring sometimes.Brief Answers to the Big QuestionsWritten by Stephen Hawking, the 2018 book examines some of the universe’s greatest mysteries and promotes the view that science is very important in helping solve problems. It provides a great introduction to Stephen Hawking’s thoughts. Since complex ideas are communicated in a simple and understandable language, your previous physics knowledge is not required. For more advanced readers, it’s too basic.21. Which is the oldest of the following books A. A Short History of Nearly Everything.B. Thing Explainer: Complicated Stuff in Simple Words.C. Ask an Astronaut: My Guide to Life in Space.D. Brief Answers to the Big Questions.22. What is the challenge of reading the second book A. Various topics. B. Technical terms.C. Complicated subjects. D. Scientific illustrations.23. What do the last two books have in common A. They stress the practical use of science.B. They use Q & A formats to explain ideas.C. They require previous science knowledge.D. They seem to appeal to the general public.BAround the world, traditional crafts are falling victim to technology and globalization. In Hong Kong, Miru Wong Ka-lam is doing her bit to keep the art of Yue embroidery (粤绣) alive. Wong’s hand-embroidered shoe shop, Sindart, is one of a few in the city to have survived the industry. To share her skills, the third-generation owner of the 65-year-old small business holds weekly workshops for those eager to learn the dying art of embroidery.When family members gather for dinner during the Mid-Autumn Festival, they exchange gifts. Handmade slippers (拖鞋) used to be a popular item to give to elderly members of the family. Unfortunately, the practice is now less common. “When my grandparents started the shop in the 1950s, there were a lot more orders for handmade slippers. Now, it seems that people are more focused on buying mooncakes,” Wong says.Cheaper, machine-embroidered slippers are another threat (威胁) to the traditional craft’s survival. Wong, however, believes that handmade slippers have better quality compared with machine-made ones. “Machine-made slippers feel different from handmade ones,” she says. “The material is too soft, making the slippers uncomfortable.”One element (元素) that makes Sindart’s slippers unique is the wide range of designs. “My late grandfather, who founded Sindart in 1958 in a tiny shop, created his own embroidery designs in the1950s,” Wong says.Wong has made up her mind to give new life to the art of Yue embroidery by adding modern elements and making footwear that is suitable for everyday use. “This includes applying hand embroidery to not only slippers, which is the tradition, but also to other types of shoes. Now I’m studying shoemaking techniques in a shoe factory so that I can achieve this,” she says.24. What is Wong’s purpose in holding weekly workshops A. To enlarge her business.B. To practice her embroidery skills.C. To promote the art of embroidery.D. To increase her influence in the industry.25. Why have handmade slippers become less popular during the Mid-Autumn Festival A. People think they’re out of date.B. Old people do not want to wear them.C. They’re not as good as they used to be.D. People prefer to buy mooncakes instead.26. Why are machine-made slippers considered a threat to handmade slippers A. They are of higher quality. B. They are more comfortable.C. They are more affordable. D. They are made of softer material.27. What will Wong do in the future A. Open more shoe factories. B. Expand her product range.C. Apply hand embroidery to clothes. D. Build partnerships with local shoe factories.CHave you ever imagined a tennis lesson from one of the world’s greatest tennis players at your local court This dream came true for two young players, who got to train with 20-year-old superstar Emma Raducanu after she appeared as a hologram (全息图)—a photographic recording of the image. While Sam Clague, 14, and T’nae Diamond Paisley, 12, were both in London, the British number one was in Abu Dhabi.During the world’s first holographic lesson, Ms Raducanu’s avatar (头像) appeared to feed balls to the players and gave live feedback on their shots, like “that was fast” and “there was lots of topspin (上旋) on that”. Even Sam said he thought she had been pre-recorded at first until she spoke with him directly.Their holographic training session offers a glimpse into how advancing technology could revolutionize tennis coaching, according to Dr Ian Pearson.Dr Pearson thinks that mixed reality headsets will soon allow tennis players to feel they are playing in unusual virtual environments, like on a space station or the middle of a lake. Through 5G, the future of tennis will see increased interaction between real life tennis courts and the rich imagination we see in computer games—playing whenever, wherever and whoever you want.Full sensory (全感官) virtual reality could even place the view er inside the tennis player’s shoes in real time. Dr Pearson said, “By 2030, with active skin technology, the playing styles and even the sensations of top-level players could be captured, so that anyone could experience how it actually felt to play that game through full sensory virtual reality.”Finally, sportswear made from smart materials could allow for a digital coach powered by artificial intelligence (AI) to provide feedback on a player’s form. Dr Pearson said, “AI-controlled suits made from smart materials, such as fabrics with sensors, can help players find the perfect stroke when hitting or returning a serve by quickly learning the muscle memory of a flawless forehand. Using direct feedback from friendly virtual AI coaches, new players can develop and learn much more quickly.”28. What did Ms Raducanu do in the first holographic lesson A. Give players a real time guidance.B. Require players to follow her shots.C. Record coaching contents in advance.D. Analyze techniques after the holographic lesson.29. What can full sensory virtual reality make viewers do A. Increase their imagination of sports.B. Take the place of top level players.C. Experience the feeling of players on the spot.D. Have a sense of playing in an unusual place.30. What’s Dr Pearson’s attitude towards virtual AI coaches A. Critical. B. Skeptical. C. Favorable. D. Cautious.31. What might be the best title for the text A. The future of tennis coaching. B. The threat from AI to coaches.C. The first live coaching online. D. The appearance of digital tennis partners.D“WHAT IS CIVILISATION ” asked Kenneth Clark 50 years ago in the seminal (开创性的) BBC series on the subject. “I don’t know, and I can’t define it in abstract terms, yet. But I think I can recognize it when I see it, and I’m looking at it now.” And he turned to gesture behind him, at the soaring Gothic towers and flying buttresses of Notre Dame (巴黎圣母院).It seems inhuman to care more about a building than about people. That the sight of Notre Dame going up in flames has attracted so much more attention than floods in southern Africa which killed over 1,000 arouses understandable feelings of guilt. Yet the widespread, intense grief at the sight of the cathedral’s (大教堂) collapsing steeple (尖塔) is in fact profoundly human — and in a particularly 21st-century way. Familiarity breeds affection. A building on whose sunny steps you have rested, in front of which you have taken a selfie with your loved one, becomes a warm part of your memories and thus of yourself. That helps explain why China is in mourning — WeChat, young China’s principal (主要的) means of talking to itself, has been following the story.And it will be rebuilt. The effort to rebuild it will bring people together. Within 24 hours, ?600m ($677m) had been raised from businesses and rich people, and a rash of crowdfunding campaigns started.Yet the emotions the sight aroused were less about the building itself than about what losing it might mean. Notre Dame is an expression of humanity at its collective best. Its survival through 850 years of political turbulence — through war, revolution and Nazi occupation — binds the present to the past.It will never be the same, but that is as it should be. As Victor Hugo wrote in “The Hunchback of Notre Dame”, a three-volume love-letter to the cathedral: “Great edifices (建筑物), like great mountains, are the work of centuries. Art is often transformed as it is being made… Time is the architect, the nation is the builder.”32. What can we infer according to Paragraph 1 A. Kenneth Clark is a staff (职员) in BBC.B. Kenneth Clark believes that Notre Dame is a symbol of civilization.C. Civilization is so abstract that Kenneth Clark can’t recognise it.D. Notre Dame is the subject of the BBC series.33. Why has the sight of Notre Dame going up in flames attracted so much attention according to the passage A. Because the sunny steps in Notre Dame for people to rest on is impressive.B. Because Notre Dame has boosted the local economy.C. Because numerable people around the world has been there and left good memories.D. Because social media like WeChat in China help more people know it.34. Which of the following can best explain the underlined word in Paragraph 4 A. current B. parties C. power D. disorder35. What’s the main idea of the last paragraph A. The essence (精髓) of Notre Dame will be lost if we rebuild it.B. It is difficult to rebuild Notre Dame.C. If it were not for the fire, Notre Dame would always stay the same.D. Notre Dame will change as time goes by even without the fire.第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。How to start up a library of thingsRather than cluttering (乱推放) our houses, starting up a library of things allows people to borrow and share huge, pricey goods in the neighbourhood. 36 But instead of borrowing books, local people are borrowing drills, pasta makers and guitars for an affordable fee.

If it has a score of 4.8 or above on a 5-point scale, the restaurant is guaranteed to be a good choice; but if it is a 4 or even less, it almost always means the restaurant is so terrible that you are likely 57 (suffer).During the past months, topics such as “Restaurants with low ratings may taste better” 58 (top) the list of search terms. But 59 is essential for everyone to get genuine evaluation. We need to analyze the reasons 60 lead to the present situations and reflect on measures to improve consumer experiences.For one thing, quite a few business runners rely so primarily 61 good scores to attract consumers that they buy positive reviews. For another, some consumers may go against their 62 (origin) intention and give high scores because they receive free 63 (dish) or coupons. When 64 (ask) to submit comments about these phenomena, platforms must develop richer ways for quality players who need to display themselves. Meanwhile, the rating mechanism should include regular monitoring. Otherwise, users will eventually abandon platforms, 65 (leave ) those tricky players to their marketing game.第四部分 写作(共两节,满分40分)第一节(满分15分)你校上周六举行了学生书法与绘画作品展。请你为学校英语报写一篇报道,内容包括:1.活动目的;2.活动过程;3.观众反响。注意:1.写作词数应为80左右;2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。Calligraphy and Painting Exhibition____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________第二节(满分25分)阅读下面材料,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。Sandy and Jane came to see the jobo tree on the hilltop again. Jobos were their favorite fruit, but the tree belonged to a lady who lived in the house by the hill. They heard she was difficult, but that sometimes she would give fruit in return for an errand (差使).The girls finally gathered their courage to knock on her door. An elderly woman with a fierce look answered, staring down at the girls. “We heard …” said Sandy, her voice shaky, “that you give jobs in payment for running an errand.”The lady raised one eyebrow, then went into the kitchen and took two baskets. She pushed them into the girls’ hands. “Go fill these with jobs, and come right back.”The girls raced up the hill to the tree and filled the baskets with the ripest jobs. Back at the house, the lady filled a bag with rice and handed it to Sandy. “Take this bag and one basket of jobs to the Brown family. And ask them for the payment.” the lady added with a tight smile. “If you return without the payment, you won’t get the fruit.”The girls struggled all the way with the bag and the basket. When they were there, Mrs. Brown answered the door. Inside on the floor were three little children, each painting something on paper.Mr. Brown was lying sick in bed. Times were hard.The girls handed her the food. “This is from the lady with the jobo tree.” said Sandy.“She asked for the payment, too.” Jane said awkwardly.“The payment! The payment!” The children repeated, waving the paper in their hands happily.Sandy and Jane looked at each other strangely. With a smile, Mrs. Brown handed Sandy a large sealed (密封的) envelope so full that it was almost starting to break open. The girls said goodbye and left quickly. “I wonder,” Sandy murmured, “whether Mrs. Brown can afford to pay for that food.”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。Worried, the two girls discussed what was in the envelope as they walked back.____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________The lady opened the envelope, took out a pile of paper, and smiled.____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________芜湖市20232024学年高二下学期7月期末教学质量监控英语试题参考答案第一部分 听力(共两节,满分30分)1-5 BCBCB 6-10 ACACC 11-15 BCAAA 16-20 BACAB第二部分 阅读理解(共两节,满分50分)21-23 ABD 24-27 CDCB 28-31 ACCA 32-35 BCDD 36-40 GAEDB第三部分 语言运用(共两节,满分30分)第一节 完形填空(共15小题;每小题1分,满分15分)41-45 ABCBC 46-50 AADDB 51-55 CACBD第二节(共10小题;每小题1分,满分15分)56. an 57. to suffer 58. have topped/have been topping 59.

To help viewers better understand the meanings of their works, some students even stood by their creations, addressing questions from curious art lovers.The event was incredibly successful, leaving many students impressed and hopeful for more similar activities in the future. Some of them were also inspired to learn calligraphy and discover more about the world of arts.第二节(满分25分)One possible versionWorried, the two girls discussed what was in the envelope as they walked back. This time, both of them paused, lost in thought. Staring at the envelope for so long, they suddenly found the envelope cracked, and there was a narrow opening, through which they found no money. It seemed that things became more confusing. Hence, they sped up towards the old lady’s home, worrying whether they could get their favorite jobs. It wasn’t long before they returned and gave the envelope to the olde woman, nervousness and curiosity overwhelming them.The lady opened the envelope, took out à pile of paper and smiled. Getting closer to the paper, they found that in the envelope were the paintings from the three little kids! So surprised were they that they stood there, frozen. The old lady expressed gratitude to them and took out another two baskets of jobs. Their favourite jobs in the old lady’s hands were in marked contrast to the cold impression of her which gave them a lesson that we shouldn’t judge others easily because a warm heart might hide through a hard face. 展开更多...... 收起↑ 资源预览
