【答案】
Today, I’m going to talk about how to improve English listening and speaking abilities, which are important to our study and future life.
However, most of the students feel it difficult to understand and communicate with others in English. Here is my advice for improving English listening and speaking abilities. Firstly, speak English more, both in and out of class. Try your best to communicate with your classmates in English. Don’t be afraid of making mistakes because making mistakes is quite natural. I think the more you speak, the better your English will be. Secondly, pay more attention to English TV presenters to improve your listening when you are watching TV at home. I’m sure you will make great progress as time goes on. In conclusion, I wish you every success with your study.高二英语开学摸底考试卷 01(北京专用)

I was born missing my left arm. In 1986, at 18 months, I was fitted with a prosthetic (义肢) device, a decision made by my parents and doctors so that I would develop “normally”.
I spent my entire childhood and adolescence trying to fit in. I did just about anything to ease the pains of the stares and pointing fingers from my classmates. By the time I was 8, I had no self-confidence, and the hand I was wearing was making it harder for me to fit in. So I decided I was better off without one. I didn’t need anyone to fix me.
To prove that I wasn’t limited by my disability, I developed a love for all sports, in particular swimming. I was selected to my first Australian women’s swimming team at age 13 and successfully represented my country for eight years. I realized I’d made a name for myself because of my disability.
I taught myself how to be comfortable in a society filled with insecurities. So when I was first contacted in 2021 by Covvi, a company trying to create the world’s most advanced bionic (仿生的) hand, I was a bit surprised. They asked me to trial the hand and, if possible, to become a patient advocate. Initially, I said no. Then, curiosity got the better of me.
While I was busy advocating for disability rights, a new generation of leaders, like Amy Purdy and Nick Vujicic, used the power of technology and social media to display wheelchairs or artificial limbs without explanation. People feared disability less. Society was beginning to see a person first, and their disability second.
Viewing disability through a social lens also meant acknowledging that a person is more disabled by their environment and the discrimination of others than by their actual disability. As those conversations shifted, I realized that there was an opportunity to use technology to steer the narrative for future generations. In July 2022, I decided to trial the hand.
The role of patient advocate is an enormous privilege. Through sharing my journey, I’m able to reach thousands of other people who would benefit from its extraordinary capabilities. That’s why I wear a bionic hand—not because I’m broken, but because I have an opportunity to enhance the human capabilities that already exist.
24.The author developed a love for all sports because ________.
A.she was longing for fame B.sports gave her self-confidence
C.she wanted to defeat her disability D.her prosthetic device empowered her
25.From Purdy and Vujicic, the author learned ________.
A.more people acknowledged their limits
B.the disabled needed a friendlier environment
C.social media allowed the disabled opportunities
D.technology shifted people’s attitudes to disability
26.Which of the following words can best describe the author
A.Intelligent and brave.
B.Warm-hearted and patient.
C.Responsible and strong-willed.
D.Independent and innovative.
27.From the passage, we learn that one should ________.
A.maximize one’s abilities by embracing reality
B.build one’s social circle with optimism
C.stick to one’s goal to achieve success
D.take it easy in difficult situations
C
A butterfly’s wings can have many jobs besides keeping the insect high up in the air. They may be used to attract mates, or to warn potential attackers to stay away. All of these roles, though, depend on their unchanging colouration. This plays into the idea that butterfly wings are dead tissue, like a bird’s feathers. In fact, that’s not true. For example, in some species males’ wings have special cells releasing some chemicals which attract females.
Nanfang Yu, a physicist at Columbia University, in New York, has been looking into the matter. Together with Naomi Pierce, a butterfly specialist at Harvard University, he has now shown, in a paper published in Nature Communications in February, 2020, that butterfly wings are, indeed, very much alive.
In their experiments, the two researchers used a laser light to heat up spots on the Wings of dozens of butterfly species. When the temperature of the area under the laser reached 40°C or so, the insects responded within seconds by doing things that stopped their wings heating up further. These actions included a butterfly turning around to minimize the area to the laser, moving its wings up and down or simply walking away.
Butterflies engaged in all of these heat-minimising activities even when the researchers blindfolded them. That suggested the relevant sensors were on the wings themselves. Dr. Yu and Dr. Pierce therefore searched those wings for likely looking sensory cells. They found some, in the form of neurons (神经元) that were similar to heat detectors known from other insects. They also uncovered disc-shaped cells that appeared to be similar to pressure-sensitive neurons. They guess that these are there to detect deformation of the wing information an insect could use to control its flight pattern.
The third discovery they made to go against the “dead wing” idea was that some butterfly wings have a heartbeat. A butterfly’ s wings have veins (静脉). These carry a bloodlike liquid which, researchers have now found in males, shows a pulse (脉搏) of several dozen beats per minute. The source of this pulse appears to be the scent (气味) pad, a dark spot on the wings that produces the female-attracting chemicals. Apparently, this “wing heart” acts as a pump that helps bloodlike liquid through the scent pad.
In all their experiments simulating different environmental conditions, Dr. Yu and Dr. Pierce consistently found that, different parts of the wing are covered by different sorts of scales. In particular, tubes pass through scales over the scent pads. This improves their ability to spread heat away and helps keep the living parts of a butterfly’s wings alive.
28.What can we learn from Dr. Yu and Dr. Pierce’s experiments
A.Butterfly wings have little reaction to external heat.
B.Butterfly wings are complicated living organs.
C.The scent pads on some male butterfly wings are their hearts.
D.Heat-minimising activities help detect deformation of the wings.
29.What is the function of scales over the scent pads
A.Attracting mates. B.Increasing blood flow.
C.Covering powerful tubes. D.Producing the cooling effect.
30.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage
A.Seeing Is Believing B.Nothing Seek, Nothing Find
C.More Than Meets The Eye D.Fine Feathers Make Fine Birds
D
In the sprawling metropolis of Grayville, where skyscrapers touched the heavens and streets were constantly buzzing with life, there existed a unique place called “The Corner of Quietude”. It was neither a park nor a building. In fact, it was simply a street corner, marked by a single lamppost with a peculiar sign: “Speak softly, for this is a place of solace”.

根据短文内容,从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Have you become really interested in self-improvement lately This pursuit of more and better things, whether they be better health, clothes, or money has been normalized, but sometimes to the detriment of people’s wellbeing. This self-improvement mindset can make you feel disempowered, like you should be someone else. Here are five time-wasting self-improvement habits that are harmful to you.
Extremely high and unrealistic expectations
Having goals can be very helpful since it can help give you something to work towards and place your energy into. 35 This is a harmful habit because you’re not focused on yourself and your enjoyment of life, but on achieving other people’s ideals. Remember, you don’t have to be perfect, you just need to be yourself.
The quick culture mentality
The idea about how you must never give up or that you must constantly hustle, even at the expense of your health can be very damaging to your wellbeing. Sometimes, things just don’t work out and you need to give up, but that’s not a bad thing. 36 As much as there are people who have support themselves and others by working long hours, constantly hustling without taking any breaks for yourself to get your bearings may only lead to burnout.
Putting aesthetics (审美) over health
Social media can be a tool to help you change your life for the better, it can also mislead how you see yourself and others. 37 Women are implored to get dangerous, unnecessary cosmetic surgery and men are told to be jacked and in the gym by any means for those gains, but our bodies are not trends that we should be ashamed of.
Information without application
Like many others, you may decide to apply the self-improvement information once you finished reading all of it, but there are so many books about it and new ones keeps coming out. 38 As powerful as knowledge is, applied knowledge is the best kind. Don’t be afraid to apply what you’ve learnt into the world.
Visualizations without action
Perhaps you see yourself as a painter, or you wish you’d have a big house. Visualizing the life you want and putting it out there can be a great way to get yourself motivated. However, this can become an issue when you only put it out there and dream about it with nothing in between to bridge the gap. 39 Remember that you have to actually do it to get there.
A.It can be heartbreaking and tough, but it may be necessary.
B.It will be too bad if you fail to keep your momentum and work on.
C.You need to create great expectations in order to drive yourself forward.
D.If it lacks the structure and action, all you dreamt about is only a dream.
E.However, you might create wild expectations which are too much for yourself.
F.Instead of promoting healthy lifestyles, it advertises certain body types as desirable.
G.All of these how-to’s can be helpful, but they are useless if you don’t actually use them.
第三部分 书面表达(共两节,32分)
第一节(共4小题;第40、41题各2分,第42题3分,第43题5分,共12分)
阅读下面短文,根据题目要求用英文回答问题。
Some years ago industries had more freedom than they now, and they did not need to be as careful as they must today. They did not need to worry a lot about the safety of the new products that they developed. They took little notice of the health and safety of the people who worked for them. Often new products were dangerous for the people who used them and conditions in the work place had very bad effects on the health of the workers.
Of course, sometimes there were real disasters which attracted the attention of governments and which showed the need for changes. Also scientists who were doing research into the health of workers sometimes produced information which governments could not ignore. At such times, there were inquiries into the causes of the disasters or the problems. New safety rules were often introduced as a result of these inquiries; however, the new rules came too late to protect the people who died or who became seriously ill.
Today many governments have special departments which protect customers and workers. In the U. S, for example, there is a department which tests new airplanes and gives warnings about possible problems. It also makes the rules that aircraft producers must follow. Another department controls the foods and drugs that companies sell. A third department looks at the places where people work, and then reports any companies that are breaking the laws which protect the health and safety of workers. Of course, new government departments and new laws cannot prevent every accident or illness, but they are having some good results. Our work places are safer and cleaner than before. The planes and cars which we use for travel are better. Producers are thinking more about the safety and health of the people who buy and use their products.
40.What had bad effects on the health of the workers (No more than 6 words)
41.In what ways do the departments protect customers and workers (No more than 20 words)
42.Please explain the underlined phrase “took little notice of” in the first paragraph in English.(No more than 5 words)
