(Text 2)
M:Excuse me. Where are the students of Class One Are they cleaning the meeting room
W: No, they aren't. They are cleaning the reading room.
(Text 3)
M:Shall we send this postcard with a picture of a castle
W: It's not where we're actually staying. What about a view of the beach instead Or one of the garden pictures.
M: I think your first idea is better.
(Text 4)
W: Right, well I think you've got food poisoning.
M: Oh, no.
W: But it's not too bad. I'll give you some medicine. If you're not feeling better in two days, come back and we'll try something else.
(Text 5)
W: Which is the platform for the train to London
M: The fast train leaves from Platform 2 at 7:00.
W: I want to go to Rugby. Does it stop there
M: You need the slow train from Platform 6 at 7:10.
(Text6)
W: I really can't make up my mind. They're lovely, but a dog's a lot of work. I have to feed them, clean them and take them to the doctors from time to time.
M: I'll tell you what, you don't have to make a firm decision now. Why don't you just take one home with you for a couple of days
W: Could I I'm not sure about that.
M:Yes, of course. You can see how you get along together, and if things work out, you can keep her. If it doesn't work out, bring her back, no problem.
W:Oh, that's a really good idea. Thank you, that's really kind of you. Well, I think I'll take this one here. It looks so lovely.
(Text7)
W:Why are you at the police station What happened to you
M:Well I went to a restaurant after work, and after I finished dinner, I went to my car. I tried to open the door, but my key broke in the lock. So I called Ace Lock Company and they opened the car for me. Then I drove the car home, and when I got home, I found out that this wasn't my car. So I drove back to the restaurant and the owner of the car and the police were there. They arrested me and took me here.
W: Oh, no!
(Text 8)
W: Hi Duncan. How was your tennis course at the weekend Was the teacher good
M: Excellent. He's worked here in England for ages but he was born in Canada, so he speaks French and English.
W: I'd like to do the course. Was it very expensive
M: Um, the full price in the summer is f270, but they offer me a 10% discount because I'm a student. In the autumn it's less—f185.
W:What did you do in the evenings
M:Sometimes we watched videos of tennis matches, but on the last night we danced and sang songs in the hotel garden. That was great.
(Text 9)
M: Continuing with our TV series on local people with interesting jobs, we have Helena Tomkins with us, who's a keeper at the city zoo. Helena, did you always want to work with animals
W:Oh, yes, ever since I was four or five years old. What really interested me was not looking after cats or dogs like other children but lying in the long grass watching insects. That interest in nature stayed with me.
M: Do you need to study at university to become a zoo keeper
W:Yeah. I did biology but you can do a variety of different degrees as long as they have some connections with animals — things like zoology obviously, but also animal science is fine too.
M: And do you work with just one species of animal
W:Well, that's generally the case at my zoo. I used to work with sea lions but for the last few years
I've been in charge of the pandas, which is particularly exciting as they're a rare species. M: That must be really satisfying. Thanks for coming to our program, Helena.
(Text 10)
W: Good morning, everyone. I'm your guide for today. We've made a change to the trip. I hope none of you will mind. We're still going to visit the beautiful town of Brampton with its old university. But today, because we have a lot of children here this week, we're also going to a wildlife park.
On the way to Brampton, we'll drive through some beautiful countryside. We'll go over the mountain and we'll have a lovely view of the lake from the top. In the next valley, we'll have a break for coffee. There's a cafe near a beautiful waterfall and if any of you want to go for a walk,
you can.
We'll get to Brampton at about 11:30. We'll start by taking a guided tour of the university. There'll be time for all of you to have a look at the shops. Most people come to Brampton nowadays for the shops, but it's the university that made the town famous. If you don't want to look at the shops, I suggest you visit the museum.
After lunch, we'll get back and go to the wildlife park. We need to stay in the bus while we drive around because we'll see lions in the park, which can obviously be dangerous. I've never seen tigers there and I'm afraid they no longer have any monkeys. Now then, before we get on the bus, if anyone wants to ask any questions, I'll try to answer them.三明市2022—2023学年第二学期普通高中期末质量检测

Enjoying a swim at their local beach was once a daily pleasure for Melati Wijsen and her sister, Isabel. But in 2013, when Melati was 12, and Isabel just ten, the sisters started to lose their enthusiasm for swimming in the waters near their home on the Indonesian island of Bali. More often than not, plastic bags would swirl (打旋)around them as they swam.
Melati didn't think much about it until later in 2013, when her teacher gave a lesson on world heroes like South Africa's Nelson Mandela and England's Princess Diana, who had made positive change. That day, Melati walked home in silence alongside Isabel, thinking about the world heroes. If they could do it, we could do it too, she thought.
Soon, they gathered a team of 15 and named their group Bye Bye Plastic Bags (BBPB). Its mission was simple: stop people in Bali from using plastic bags. To convince the local government to ban plastic bags, the group organised an online petition(请愿)to collect one million signatures to ban plastic bags in Bali. Within 24 hours of launching, more than 6000 people from around the world had signed up. Although it was far from the challenging target, Melati and Isabel did what they could.
The girls' passion has resulted in big changes. In 2017, they organised Bali's first beach clean up, and now is an annual event. In addition, they has successfully staged a fashion show featuring clothes made from recycled garbage and campaigned to get villages to do away with plastic bags. In 2018, BBPB convinced the Balinese government to ban single-use plastic bags, and the ban took effect in July 2019.
Today, BBPB is a global youth movement and has more than 50 teams in 29 countries. "We didn't start with any clear plan, " Melati admits. "We didn't know how we were going to ban the plastic bags but we knew that we wanted to and had the passion to figure it out. "
24. What motivated Melati to form the group “BBPB”
A. The suggestion of her teacher.
B. The strong wish to make change.
C. The examples set by world heroes.
D. The plastic bags at their local beach.
25. What was the girls' challenging target
A. The amount of signatures.
B. The recognition of people.
C. The launch of the petition.
D. The establishment of their group.
26. What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A. The first clean-up event. B. The ban on plastic bags.
C. The girls' achievements. D. The features of the fashion show.
27. Which of the following best describes the girls
A. Brave and generous B. Considerate and confident.
C. Intelligent and kind-hearted. D. Passionate and Determined.
C
Stroke (中风)is a leading cause of death and disability worldwide. You may be familiar with some of the most common lifestyle and health factors that could affect your stroke risk. However, there is another overlooked factor—altitude.
How can living at high altitudes affect your chance of suffering a stroke This question is at the heart of a new study in journal Frontiers in Physiology. The study examined more than 100, 000 stroke hospitalisations and deaths from between 2001 and 2017 in Ecuador. The researchers assessed levels of stroke hospitalisation and death among people living at four different elevation ranges: low altitude (under 1, 500 metres), moderate altitude (1, 500-2, 500 metres), high altitude (2, 500-3, 500 metres) and very high altitude (3, 500-5, 500 metres).
The results showed that people who lived at higher altitudes (above 2, 500 meters) tended to experience stroke at a later age compared with those at lower altitudes. They were also less likely to be hospitalized or die because of stroke. However, this protective effect was the greatest between 2, 000 and 3, 500 meters and tailed off a little above 3, 500 meters.
So, why might living at high altitudes protect against stroke It may be that people who live at high altitude have adapted to the low oxygen conditions, and more readily grow new blood vessels (血管)to help overcome stroke-related damage. They may also have a more developed network of vessels in their brains that helps them to make the most of the oxygen they take in.
More research is needed to identify the mechanisms behind this phenomenon, but the results may be some comfort to those who live on top of the world.
28. How did the researchers carry out their study
A. By analyzing specific cases.
B. By conducting a questionnaire.
C. By studying the previous findings.
D. By consulting data from the database.
29. What does the underlined phrase "tailed off" mean in paragraph 3
A. Became more. B. Became less. C. Became better. D. Became higher.
30. What may be the reason for people living higher to have a lower risk of stroke
A. A small vessel network. B. Special brain structures.
C. Narrowed blood vessels. D. Adaptation to the environment.
31. Where is this passage most probably taken from
A. A science fiction. B. A science report.
C. A geography textbook. D. A doctor's notebook.
D
How AI will transform education is very important to schools such as mine, teachers such as me, and hardworking care-givers such as the parents in my community. Could AI get our children to grasp new concepts and skills Might AI be better equipped to help them exploit their own intelligence After a few days watching my children use artificial intelligence-based learning tools, I can tell you the short answer is NO.
Human intelligence is different from the computer's. For one, human intelligence can not be measured. The brain is plastic, always developing and growing as we learn from our environments. In addition, human intelligence relies on human interaction. Exercising our intelligence is something we do naturally as we connect with others, consider the world around us and seek to improve our relationship to that world.
In education, there has been a movement toward social-emotional and problem-based learning. So educators attempt to motivate interest in subjects and skills by turning learning moments into communal (共有的) problem-solving events. When we combine analytical learning with social- emotional learning, students become mastered in the material we want them to know and get more excited about the learning process.
Using AI looks very different from this. AI learning often involves an individual working alone with a computer program. It can crowd source information to help students find facts about their environment, solve a problem and come up with a creative way forward. But AI doesn't force students to think through or keep anything. And simply being fed facts and information is not the same as "learning".
It is fascinating to imagine that AI might cure what annoys us. Many parents don't have the resources-in time, money or energy—to teach their kids at home. If AI could fill the gaps, how great, right Yet the nature of AI "teaching" as it currently exists means that students merely level up without learning. When it comes to developing intelligence, nothing can beat what we humans have been doing, face to face, for centuries.
32. What do we know about human intelligence according to paragraph 2
A. It is measured easily B. It is of great significance
C. It is related to education D. It is changeable and interactive
33. What can be inferred about AI learning from paragraph 4
A. It is widely used at school
B. It makes no difference to education
C. It helps develop students' intelligence
D. It does little help with students' true learning
34. What is the author's attitude to AI learning
A. Unclear B. Neutral C. Disapproving D. Favorable
35. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Could AI Really Teach Students
B. Should students Use AI Frequently
C. How Students Use AI in Their Study
D. How Teachers Interact with Students

Eight-year-old Lily never played with dolls or ordered pizza on Saturday nights like her friends. Instead, after school, she sat by her mother, Stella, and helped her knit sweaters and caps because that was how they made a living.
When Lily was five, her father, Adam, died of cancer. Stella was an orphan, and Adam's family refused to help them, so Stella and Lily were on their own. "God rewards those who are kind and brave. We'll be alright, honey, " Stella told Lily every night before going to bed.
After Adam's death, Stella struggled to make a living and lived in a tent in a parking lot with Lily. Their previous landlord had increased the rent, and Stella couldn't afford it. In fact, she hadn't been able to pay the rent for three months before the landlord eventually kicked them out.
One day, Lily was walking home from school when she felt somebody was following her. She got scared and was about to run away when she heard a sad "woof" behind her. Lily turned around to see a crying sick dog, muddy and completely wet in dirty water, looking around anxiously. He was looking at her with sad eyes.
Are—are you hungry "Lily asked him, and he let out a slight woof as if he understood what she said. Lily sat down and began petting him. "Listen, dog, you look sick, and mommy and I don't have enough money. We can't take you to a vet. I am sorry I can't help you!
But when the dog began crying in her lap, Lily's heart melted. "Don't be sad, silly! Mommy says we should be brave. OK, let's get you home, " she said, "But I don't think mommy will let you stay there. "Lily brought the dog to the tent, although she and Stella couldn't afford another mouth to feed.
In the beginning Stella was against keeping him. A month later, she couldn't imagine her life without him. She named him Sam. and he followed them everywhere they went and never left his place without permission. Moreover, he kept Stella company when Lily would be in school
