安徽省马鞍山市2023-2024学年高二上学期2月期末英语试题
第二节(共5小题;每小题2. 5分, 满分12. 5分)
阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
It is believed that it’s dangerous to have plants in the bedroom. Plants take in carbon dioxide (CO ) and produce oxygen (氧气) in the day. ____16____. The build-up of CO is a real problem for indoor air quality, which has been shown to influence health, so it is easy to see where the concern comes from. But to consider whether sharing our bedroom with our plants can harm health, we should consider three things.
Firstly, how much CO do plants produce at night compared with what they take in during the day ____17____ For the answer depends on everything from species to light levels and even room temperature.
Thankfully, in 2015, researchers at Turkey’s Kastamonu University found that large houseplants take in between six and eight times as much CO2 in the day as they produce at night.
____18____A single human breath contains around 40, 000 ppm of CO2, more than 10 times the effect a plant could have in 8 hours, so you might want to throw your partner out before your plants.
Finally, we don’t live in the sealed (密封的) boxes in which these studies are carried out. ____19____The air is even exchanged when we move around. According to one recent review, we need houseplants to keep indoor air fresh, and to fight some pollution. ____20____
Let’s enjoy houseplants whenever we like because if sleeping near plants were bad for our health, camping in a forest would be deadly.
A. This is hard to answer.
B. So, they are quite necessary.
C. The question has more than one answer.
D. Besides, we often share a room with someone else.
E. Indoor air is being exchanged through doors and windows.
F. At night they compete with us for the air we breathe while asleep.
G. Secondly, compare the influence of a plant with that of a person sharing a room.

第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Cultural traditions shape who you are. Lear n more about your traditions and how you can preserve them by means of the followings.
Share your culture art.
Each culture is carried by different forms of art. Museums often house items like clothing, music instruments, and visual artworks. However, beyond these exhibits, there exist tools crafted by ancestors, which present the traditions through generations’ wisdom. 16
Attend or organize major events.
Your country, religious organizations, or immigrant ethnic groups almost certainly celebrate major holidays or cultural festivals. 17 If there aren’t any of those in your area, you can arrange your own events.
Cook family recipes.
Find some recipes from your grandmother’s cookbook. 18 As you knead dough (揉面) or follow the right amount of spices, you might remember meals from your childhood or holidays. Cooking your family recipes can help you inherit the family tradition and make it possibly passed down.
Promote your dialects (方言).
Language shapes culture to some degree. Therefore, promoting a dialect contributes to the protection of a certain culture. 19 So if you know one of them, help to spread it. With more and more people speaking, these dialects could be successfully preserved before they go extinct.
Spend time with other members of the community.
The best way to preserve your culture is to keep it alive. 20 Many aspects of culture are difficult to learn in books and museums, including body language, and humor. But you can get to the core (核心) of the cultural experience through daily communication.
A．Participate to get a broader view of your culture.
B．Culture helps people adapt to the world around them.
C．Smell and taste have powerful connections to memory.
D．Record your family tree with the help of family members.
E．Unfortunately, thousands of dialects are at risk of extinction.
F．Gather as a group not just for holidays, but for ordinary meals or just conversation.
G．The skills involved in shaping a stone tool represent one of the earliest cultural practices.

第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
When my children haven’t played outside enough, I can tell their energy levels will go up and the noise will increase in the house. I feel upset, so I tell them it’s time to go outside. Usually, they com-plain and come up with reasons why staying in is better, but I insist. 36 Sometimes I give them a minimum time limit, say 20 minutes, before they could come back inside. But often they forget about it once they’re wrapped up in a game.
Kids need consistent outdoor play. There are many benefits, and I’d like to share some of them.
37 It helps build up strength and reduces the likelihood of overweight. Movements like rolling and jumping also stimulate a child’s vestibular（前庭） system. It’s the organizer for other senses and affects things like balance and space awareness. Children need to stimulate it regularly, and outdoor play allows this to happen naturally.
Outdoor play is beneficial mentally. It makes kids happy. You will see it when they come inside, tired but satisfied. It also gives children a chance to be in a space without fixed rules. There are no requirements to be quiet or stay clean. So kids are free to do almost anything that entertains them. 38
Outdoor play also has educational value. There’s so much active learning that goes on outdoors. 39 For example, building a bridge across a hole that will support the weight or getting the right consistency of mud by mixing dirt and water. They’ll also do better in school after spending more time outside.
Outdoor play is of great importance, so encourage your kids to take part in it. Make your yard more interesting for them. 40 Your kids will get hours of enjoyment, and the benefits are far-reaching.
A. Outdoor play benefits kids’ strength building.
B. Outdoor play is good for kids’ physical health.
C. Within minutes, they’re out and running around.
D. It provides more advanced facilities for education.
E. It helps result in imaginative play and a creative flow state.
F. You can also take them to beautiful parks and forests on weekends.
G. When kids get outdoors, they apply what they have learned to real life.

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。
Have you ever complained that there just aren’t enough hours in a day Do you usually find yourself falling short on time in completing assigned tasks 32 No matter how hard I tried, tasks just kept piling up towards the end every day and it became extremely difficult to stay productive. In spite of trying all kinds of free and paid to-do apps, nothing helped.
That didn’t change until I discovered the time management technique called Time Blocking. Since then, I have been able to transform my daily schedule for the better with the help of Time Blocking. 33
It is a simple time management technique where you schedule your day such that it is divided into time blocks that are assigned to specific tasks or groups of tasks. 34 Imagine that you have a dozen or so tasks that you want to finish working on tomorrow. You open your to-do app of choice and neatly list down everything that you plan to do, and then plot some important meetings and reminders in your calendar app. 35 The more specific you are about the task, the more focused and productive you will be and thus, more productive.
36 It not only makes your to-do list more manageable, but also it gives you more control over your day and helps you prioritize (优先处理) your tasks. It also improves your focus and helps get rid of procrastination (拖延症), as it allows you to focus on one project at a time.
A. So what is it exactly
B. Is everyone interested in it
C. I used to be in the same boat.
D. The benefits of Time Blocking are substantial.
E. Let’s further explain the concept in another way.
F. You’ll meet with countless questions like these in your life
G. You’ll need to be very specific about the time and what you’re planning to do.

Overcoming Fear of Failure
Have you ever been so afraid of failing at something that you decided not to try at all Or has fear of failure meant that, subconsciously,you undermined（削弱）your own efforts to avoid the possibility of a larger failure 36 It’s important to realize that in everything we do, there’s always a chance that we’ll fail. Facing that chance and embracing it give us a more rewarding life. Here are a few ways to reduce the fear of failing.
Analyze all potential outcomes. 37 Remove that fear by considering all of the potential outcomes of your decision. You can map possible outcomes visually.
Set small goals. Imagining how life will be after you’ve reached your goal is a great motivator to keep you moving forward. So start by setting a few small goals. 38 Don’t focus on the end picture. Just focus on the next step. Taking one small step at a time will help build your confidence, keep you moving towards your final goal.
Learn to think more positively. Every coin has two sides. 39 Learn to change your thoughts and focus more on the bright side of the situation, making you like yourself. Positive thinking is an incredibly powerful way to build self-confidence.
40 In some cases, the toughest situation may be genuinely disastrous（灾难性的）and it may be perfectly reasonable to fear failure. In other cases, however, this worst case may actually not be that bad, and recognizing this can help.
A. Look at the worse-case situation.
B. It is up to you to decide which one to look at.
C. Failing at something can help you discover your truest friends.
D. Many of us have probably experienced this at one time or another.
E. If you are afraid of failure, you might be uncomfortable setting goals.
F.These should be goals that are slightly, but notoverwhelmingly,challenging.
G.Many people experience fear of failure because they fear the unknown.

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
When my children haven’t played outside enough, I can tell their energy levels will go up and the noise will increase in the house. I feel upset, so I tell them it’s time to go outside. Usually, they com-plain and come up with reasons why staying in is better, but I insist. 36 Sometimes I give them a minimum time limit, say 20 minutes, before they could come back inside. But often they forget about it once they’re wrapped up in a game.
Kids need consistent outdoor play. There are many benefits, and I’d like to share some of them.
37 It helps build up strength and reduces the likelihood of overweight. Movements like rolling and jumping also stimulate a child’s vestibular（前庭） system. It’s the organizer for other senses and affects things like balance and space awareness. Children need to stimulate it regularly, and outdoor play allows this to happen naturally.
Outdoor play is beneficial mentally. It makes kids happy. You will see it when they come inside, tired but satisfied. It also gives children a chance to be in a space without fixed rules. There are no requirements to be quiet or stay clean. So kids are free to do almost anything that entertains them. 38
Outdoor play also has educational value. There’s so much active learning that goes on outdoors. 39 For example, building a bridge across a hole that will support the weight or getting the right consistency of mud by mixing dirt and water. They’ll also do better in school after spending more time outside.
Outdoor play is of great importance, so encourage your kids to take part in it. Make your yard more interesting for them. 40 Your kids will get hours of enjoyment, and the benefits are far-reaching.
A. Outdoor play benefits kids’ strength building.
B. Outdoor play is good for kids’ physical health.
C. Within minutes, they’re out and running around.
D. It provides more advanced facilities for education.
E. It helps result in imaginative play and a creative flow state.
F. You can also take them to beautiful parks and forests on weekends.
G. When kids get outdoors, they apply what they have learned to real life.

Have you ever complained that there just aren’t enough hours in a day Do you usually find yourself falling short on time in completing assigned tasks 32 No matter how hard I tried, tasks just kept piling up towards the end every day and it became extremely difficult to stay productive. In spite of trying all kinds of free and paid to-do apps, nothing helped.
That didn’t change until I discovered the time management technique called Time Blocking. Since then, I have been able to transform my daily schedule for the better with the help of Time Blocking. 33
It is a simple time management technique where you schedule your day such that it is divided into time blocks that are assigned to specific tasks or groups of tasks. 34 Imagine that you have a dozen or so tasks that you want to finish working on tomorrow. You open your to-do app of choice and neatly list down everything that you plan to do, and then plot some important meetings and reminders in your calendar app. 35 The more specific you are about the task, the more focused and productive you will be and thus, more productive.
36 It not only makes your to-do list more manageable, but also it gives you more control over your day and helps you prioritize (优先处理) your tasks. It also improves your focus and helps get rid of procrastination (拖延症), as it allows you to focus on one project at a time.
A. So what is it exactly
B. Is everyone interested in it
C. I used to be in the same boat.
D. The benefits of Time Blocking are substantial.
E. Let’s further explain the concept in another way.
F. You’ll meet with countless questions like these in your life
G. You’ll need to be very specific about the time and what you’re planning to do.

Overcoming Fear of Failure
Have you ever been so afraid of failing at something that you decided not to try at all Or has fear of failure meant that, subconsciously,you undermined（削弱）your own efforts to avoid the possibility of a larger failure 36 It’s important to realize that in everything we do, there’s always a chance that we’ll fail. Facing that chance and embracing it give us a more rewarding life. Here are a few ways to reduce the fear of failing.
Analyze all potential outcomes. 37 Remove that fear by considering all of the potential outcomes of your decision. You can map possible outcomes visually.
Set small goals. Imagining how life will be after you’ve reached your goal is a great motivator to keep you moving forward. So start by setting a few small goals. 38 Don’t focus on the end picture. Just focus on the next step. Taking one small step at a time will help build your confidence, keep you moving towards your final goal.
Learn to think more positively. Every coin has two sides. 39 Learn to change your thoughts and focus more on the bright side of the situation, making you like yourself. Positive thinking is an incredibly powerful way to build self-confidence.
40 In some cases, the toughest situation may be genuinely disastrous（灾难性的）and it may be perfectly reasonable to fear failure. In other cases, however, this worst case may actually not be that bad, and recognizing this can help.
A. Look at the worse-case situation.
B. It is up to you to decide which one to look at.
C. Failing at something can help you discover your truest friends.
D. Many of us have probably experienced this at one time or another.
E. If you are afraid of failure, you might be uncomfortable setting goals.
F.These should be goals that are slightly, but notoverwhelmingly,challenging.
G.Many people experience fear of failure because they fear the unknown.
