（2023高二上·湖北月考） 阅读理解
Below, find four of the very best fall movies -- which are not necessarily movies set in the fall, but which represent fall in some way -- to get you through to December.
When Harry Met Sally. . . (1989)
When I think of fall, I automatically picture Meg Ryan and Billy Crystal walking through a leaf-strewn Central Park and talk about Sally's ultimate sexual fantasy. The film cycles through various seasons, but it feels brightest and most alive in fall, making it the perfect thing to get you through a frustrating November afternoon.
Autumn in New York (2000)
I mean. . . how could I not include this one Title aside, this Winona Ryder features many of the things I most as sociate with fall, including Central Park, small museums, and a woman dressed up as Emily Dickinson. We love to see it and cry at it.
The Royal Tenenhaums (2001)
There's simply no film character who represents the concept of autumn quite like Margot Tenenbaum. Her seasonally appropriate clipped hair, charming eyes, and wardrobe of primarily browns all but scream out the reason for the season; and while signature fur coat might seem more winter near, her fondness for pairing it with Lacoste polo dresses is fall all the way. In what other season can you wear a coat with a dress, logically speaking
Mona Lisa Smile(2003)
I'm actually an enthusiastic advocate of watching this Julia Roberts/Julia Stiles/Kirsten Dunst trifecta(三强联袂) in any season, but watching it in fall will make you desire a well-knitted sweater and a thermos of tea to take along with you while you cheer for the boys at the Harvard-Yale game.
21．In what film does a lady dress herself as Emily Dickinson
A．When Harry Met Sally B．Autumn in New York
C．The Royal Tenenhaums D．Mona Lisa Smile
22．What is demonstrated through Margot Tenenbaum's appearance and dresses
A．Her way of love. B．Her taste in makeup.
C．Something relevant to fall. D．Something concerning clothes.
23．What do the four movies have in common
A．All are set in December.
B．All reflect fall to some extent.
C．All of them were shot before 2000.
D．All display the beauty of different seasons.
【答案】21．B
22．C
23．B

23．考查细节理解。根据第一段"Below, find four of the very best fall movies - which are not necessarily movies set in the fall, but which represent fall in some way - to get you through to December. "下面，找到四部最好的秋季电影——它们不一定是以秋季为背景的电影，但在某种程度上代表了秋季——让你度过12月。可知，这四部电影的共同点是，它们都在一定程度上反映了秋天。故选B。

It might have been a really bad stressful day, feeling trapped inside by the cold and snow which surrounded us. My husband was the first to shift his consciousness. He dressed accordingly and announced that he was going outside to build a giant snowman.
At first he stood alone, piling massive amounts of snow. Soon after a neighbor joined in my husband's pursuit to embrace the opportunity the winter presented. Maintaining less than desirable attitude, we unwillingly put on our snow equipment and headed outside. It wasn't long before we were smiling and enjoying the snow that Mother Nature had provided. Others came to our yard one by one to give a hand in the making of our giant snowman.
In the end we all stood back, amazed at what we had created. He was eleven feet high, twenty-five feet around at the base and decorated with many household items supplied by various families. There he stood, our glorious, enormous snowman.
People drove by and smiled. Some even stopped to enjoy his existence. The spirit that went into creating him seemed to catch on and we all enjoyed it while the cold temperatures permitted.
With the passing of time, the spring made its way back into our yard and the snowman changed form considerably. In a final effort to save what we created for just a little bit longer, somebody stopped by and changed the snowman's remains to look like a rabbit.
As I prepared for the start of another week, I decided to check my email before going to bed. I found a curious message that contained the subject line: enjoy the snowman. I decided to read the message even though I did not recognize who sent it. The words it contained melted my heart.
The email said: …your neighbor look son in disbelief! I am sure you people are enjoying the sounds and smells, along with sights of spring. The energy displayed in Mr. Snowman or Ms, is filled with joyous energy. You and your family keep it up, as this is what the world needs now. Love sweet love. More power to you and your loved ones, keep sharing with the world around.
Perhaps it was more than snowman we built that day. I'd like to agree that it was. The message seems clear. Our circumstances will turn out to be what we make of them. The possibilities are endless and the choice is ours.
24．Why did her husband want to make a snowman
A．He desired to lift his spirits.
B．He was better at it than others.
C．He meant to please his neighbors.
D．He must get the last chance before spring.
25．What can we learn from paragraph 2
A．Not all the neighbors would like to help them.
B．All the neighbors enjoyed building the snowman.
C．The writer didn't approve of her husband's going out.
D．The writer wouldn't love to join her husband initially.
26．What can we know about the snowman
A．It was surprisingly big in size.
B．It made people more forgiving.
C．It was built by the author's family.
D．It made building snowman popular.
27．What can we infer from the passage
A．There are many opportunities in our life .
B．Choices are more practical than possibilities.
C．We can decide our way of life through our choice.
D．We must have our own opinions about our decision.
【答案】24．A

The University of Exeter is launching a new program in September 2024 called the Master of Arts(MA) in Magic and Occult Science. This program is all about exploring ideas in a different way, according to its leader, Professor Emily Selove.

The university mentioned that this course will give students a chance to dig into the history and effects of witchcraft (巫术) and magic worldwide, including their influence on society and science. Expert s in various fields will teach the course and help students understand how magic has played a role in both Western and Eastern cultures.
The University of Exeter already received more than a hundred inquiries for MA degree. The "innovative" MA has been created following a "recent surge in interest in magic", the course leader said. The interest in studying magic is on the rise, both within and outside of academic circles. This is because people are searching for fresh viewpoints on how we connect with other human cultures and the natural world, Selove explained.
Selove said that our ancestors had some interesting ideas that we may have ignored. These ideas have the potential to be valuable philosophical thoughts and could provide us with a new way of understanding society. "The MA in Magic and Occult Science would challenge the belief that the Western world is only characterized by rationalism(理性主义) and science while the rest of the world is associated with magic and superstition(迷信), "she added.
Furthermore, the university mentioned that this course can prepare students for various career paths, including teaching, consulting and tourism as well as work in heritage settings and museums, art organizations, and the publishing industry among other options.

B．Some ideas about philosophy from our ancestors are ignored.

31．What does the university think of the job prospects for the graduates of MA

In a response to the threat posed by rising sea levels, South Korea showed the world's first model of sustainable floating city in Busan.
"Sea level rise poses a threat for some small islands and some low-lying coasts, " says a recent report. The global sea level has risen by eight to nine inches since 1880. What's more frightening is that one-third of the rise in sea level happened in the last 25 years.
The floating city aims to provide technology for coastal cities facing severe land shortages that are combined by climatic threats. The city will serve as the "world's first model sustainable floating city" aiming to be "a structure that rises with the sea" supplying its own food, energy and water.
The floating city has six combined systems: zero waste and circular systems, closed-loop water systems, food, net-zero energy, innovative movement, and coastal habitat regeneration. These interconnected systems will generate 100 percent of the required energy through floating and rooftop photovoltaic panels(光伏板).
Each neighborhood will treat and refill its own water, process and recycle resources, and provide innovative urban agriculture. The floating city is the world's first model of a sustainable floating community. The interconnected neighborhoods spread across 6.3 hectares that can hold a community of12, 000 people. Starting from a community of 3 platforms with 12, 000 residents and visitors, it has the potential to expand to more than 20 platforms. The floating platforms have dozens of productive stations with photovoltaic panels and greenhouses that can expand and contract(收缩) over time based on the city's needs.
"I take seriously our commitment ‘ The First to the Future'. Our common future is at risk in the face of sea level rise and its impact on coastal cities, " said Busan Mayor Park Heong-joon, who has set a schedule, including turning Busan into a green smart city and compete for World Expo 2030.
This is as frightening as it is exciting to reach such an achievement, but living in a city that is like the communities where people try to survive in the movie Water World is kind of unhappy.
32．Why does South Korea build the floating city

Eight o'clock on a May morning, and Mary, my 17-year-old daughter, was in our study upstairs. It had served as her classroom ever since schools moved to remote learning due to the COVID-19.
From the kitchen, I listened to the sound of her tapping on the laptop or her communicating in their Google Meet session s with her friends and teachers. I resisted the desire to check on her. Way too often, I would find Mary texting friends and commenting on their Snapchat and Instagram posts about the fun they were having together. I felt it safer not to care. After all, we'd barely left the house for 10 weeks straight.
"Mom, everyone is hanging out today!" Mary's voice came from upstairs. "Why can't I "I went up the stairs. Mary was lying on the floor, her laptop, school iPad and cell phone in front of her. "It's unfair, " she said. "I have no one I can be with. I can't wait until I'm 18. and can do what I want. "
We'd had this conversation before. Still, I couldn't help but feel sorry for her. I was sick of isolating(隔离) too. Even though Mary and I were at home together more than we had been in years, we might as well have been living in separate worlds.
"Wanna watch Netflix later " I asked. "Bake some cookies " "No, thanks. " Mary shook her head, as if the idea of doing something together was quite beyond her. I was used to Mary's rejection, but it still hurt. Teenage independence is healthy, but I worried that if I didn't find a way to bond with my girl soon, I might never be close with her again. She'd be 18 in the fall and had already convinced herself she didn't need me anymore. Maybe she was right. No matter what I did, I couldn't seem to reach her. That evening, I logged onto Facebook and saw a friend's family playing with their new kitten together. My mind went back to the difficult period when I was in high school and our family moved to the new city. It was a gray tabby(虎斑猫) with which Mom surprised me that brightened my days and got me through that difficult, lonely time.
注意：1. 续写词数应为 150左右；2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
It suddenly occurred to me that having a cat in our house might help.
We immediately decided to take the cat from the shelter home.
【答案】One possible version:
All of a sudden, it occurred to me that having a cat in our house might help."You want to get a kitten " I asked Mary."Oh, Yes!"she relied eagerly."I want an orange tabby. A male!"The next morning, I called shelters, but no one had any kittens, let alone a male orange tabby. I was about to give up when one shelter responded telling me that an 8-week kitten who lost his mom was seeking help and they also sent a photo. Showing the photo to Mary, I was pleased to see her eyes round, sparkling with excitement. This is exactly my dream kitten. Do get it for me, please, mom." Mary begged in a thrilled tone, holding my arm with wild joy. It was so long since we got that close to interact that I was almost moved to tears.
We immediately decided to take the cat from the shelter home. Having made preparations together, we waited eagerly for the new member to arrive. Then came Ron, named by my daughter, a really active fellow who often brought laughter to us everywhere he popped up. Mary worked with me to look after him, train him and enjoy her time with Ron. To my great joy, I could hear more laughter from Mary, who shared loads of warm scenes of the whole family having fun together in her Instagram posts instead of locking herself in the study all day long. In a sense, the invisible wall between us seemed to have been broken down. Sometimes, there is no need to seek magic for a change, and a bond that clicks alive can work miracles .
【知识点】文字式记叙文；开放性作文；读后续写
【解析】【分析】本篇书面表达是读后续写。通过阅读文章可知，讲述了作者和女儿因为疫情不得不都困在家里，但是长大后的女儿和自己并不亲近。作者为了与女儿缓和关系，在看到朋友家的孩子跟猫玩儿的视频后，主动上网搜索，并让女儿挑选自己喜欢的猫来收养。女儿很喜欢这只小猫，并且与作者之间的关系缓和了很多。段落续写：①由第一段首句内容"我突然想到，在家里养一只猫可能会有所帮助。"可知，第一段可描写作者打电话给收容所，准备给女儿收养一个。②由第二段首句内容"我们立即决定把猫从收容所带回家。"可知，第二段可描写女儿很喜欢收养的小猫，并且与作者之间关系缓和了很多。

Below, find four of the very best fall movies -- which are not necessarily movies set in the fall, but which represent fall in some way -- to get you through to December.
When Harry Met Sally. . . (1989)
When I think of fall, I automatically picture Meg Ryan and Billy Crystal walking through a leaf-strewn Central Park and talk about Sally's ultimate sexual fantasy. The film cycles through various seasons, but it feels brightest and most alive in fall, making it the perfect thing to get you through a frustrating November afternoon.
Autumn in New York (2000)
I mean. . . how could I not include this one Title aside, this Winona Ryder features many of the things I most as sociate with fall, including Central Park, small museums, and a woman dressed up as Emily Dickinson. We love to see it and cry at it.
The Royal Tenenhaums (2001)
There's simply no film character who represents the concept of autumn quite like Margot Tenenbaum. Her seasonally appropriate clipped hair, charming eyes, and wardrobe of primarily browns all but scream out the reason for the season; and while signature fur coat might seem more winter near, her fondness for pairing it with Lacoste polo dresses is fall all the way. In what other season can you wear a coat with a dress, logically speaking
Mona Lisa Smile(2003)
I'm actually an enthusiastic advocate of watching this Julia Roberts/Julia Stiles/Kirsten Dunst trifecta(三强联袂) in any season, but watching it in fall will make you desire a well-knitted sweater and a thermos of tea to take along with you while you cheer for the boys at the Harvard-Yale game.
21．In what film does a lady dress herself as Emily Dickinson
A．When Harry Met Sally B．Autumn in New York
C．The Royal Tenenhaums D．Mona Lisa Smile
22．What is demonstrated through Margot Tenenbaum's appearance and dresses
A．Her way of love. B．Her taste in makeup.
C．Something relevant to fall. D．Something concerning clothes.
23．What do the four movies have in common
A．All are set in December.
B．All reflect fall to some extent.
C．All of them were shot before 2000.
D．All display the beauty of different seasons.

It might have been a really bad stressful day, feeling trapped inside by the cold and snow which surrounded us. My husband was the first to shift his consciousness. He dressed accordingly and announced that he was going outside to build a giant snowman.
At first he stood alone, piling massive amounts of snow. Soon after a neighbor joined in my husband's pursuit to embrace the opportunity the winter presented. Maintaining less than desirable attitude, we unwillingly put on our snow equipment and headed outside. It wasn't long before we were smiling and enjoying the snow that Mother Nature had provided. Others came to our yard one by one to give a hand in the making of our giant snowman.
In the end we all stood back, amazed at what we had created. He was eleven feet high, twenty-five feet around at the base and decorated with many household items supplied by various families. There he stood, our glorious, enormous snowman.
People drove by and smiled. Some even stopped to enjoy his existence. The spirit that went into creating him seemed to catch on and we all enjoyed it while the cold temperatures permitted.
With the passing of time, the spring made its way back into our yard and the snowman changed form considerably. In a final effort to save what we created for just a little bit longer, somebody stopped by and changed the snowman's remains to look like a rabbit.
As I prepared for the start of another week, I decided to check my email before going to bed. I found a curious message that contained the subject line: enjoy the snowman. I decided to read the message even though I did not recognize who sent it. The words it contained melted my heart.
The email said: …your neighbor look son in disbelief! I am sure you people are enjoying the sounds and smells, along with sights of spring. The energy displayed in Mr. Snowman or Ms, is filled with joyous energy. You and your family keep it up, as this is what the world needs now. Love sweet love. More power to you and your loved ones, keep sharing with the world around.
Perhaps it was more than snowman we built that day. I'd like to agree that it was. The message seems clear. Our circumstances will turn out to be what we make of them. The possibilities are endless and the choice is ours.
24．Why did her husband want to make a snowman
A．He desired to lift his spirits.
B．He was better at it than others.
C．He meant to please his neighbors.
D．He must get the last chance before spring.
25．What can we learn from paragraph 2
A．Not all the neighbors would like to help them.
B．All the neighbors enjoyed building the snowman.
C．The writer didn't approve of her husband's going out.
D．The writer wouldn't love to join her husband initially.
26．What can we know about the snowman
A．It was surprisingly big in size.
B．It made people more forgiving.
C．It was built by the author's family.
D．It made building snowman popular.
27．What can we infer from the passage
A．There are many opportunities in our life .
B．Choices are more practical than possibilities.
C．We can decide our way of life through our choice.
D．We must have our own opinions about our decision.

The University of Exeter is launching a new program in September 2024 called the Master of Arts(MA) in Magic and Occult Science. This program is all about exploring ideas in a different way, according to its leader, Professor Emily Selove.
Selove explained on BBC Radio 4's Today program that this degree in magic takes a fresh approach to studying history, science, philosophy, religion, and literature. It looks at these subjects from a unique viewpoint that hasn't received much attention from scholars before.
The university mentioned that this course will give students a chance to dig into the history and effects of witchcraft (巫术) and magic worldwide, including their influence on society and science. Expert s in various fields will teach the course and help students understand how magic has played a role in both Western and Eastern cultures.
The University of Exeter already received more than a hundred inquiries for MA degree. The "innovative" MA has been created following a "recent surge in interest in magic", the course leader said. The interest in studying magic is on the rise, both within and outside of academic circles. This is because people are searching for fresh viewpoints on how we connect with other human cultures and the natural world, Selove explained.
Selove said that our ancestors had some interesting ideas that we may have ignored. These ideas have the potential to be valuable philosophical thoughts and could provide us with a new way of understanding society. "The MA in Magic and Occult Science would challenge the belief that the Western world is only characterized by rationalism(理性主义) and science while the rest of the world is associated with magic and superstition(迷信), "she added.
Furthermore, the university mentioned that this course can prepare students for various career paths, including teaching, consulting and tourism as well as work in heritage settings and museums, art organizations, and the publishing industry among other options.
28．What do we know about the MA in Magic and Occult Science
A．It provides a new way to study science and physics.
B．It gives students the opportunity to be exposed to witchcraft.
C．Its course focuses on the magic al world of Eastern culture.
D．Its course allows students to do some magic experiments.
29．What does the underlined word "surge" in Paragraph 4 probably mean
A．Increase. B．Drop. C．Success. D．Balance.
30．What dose the MA in Magic and Occult Science challenge according to Selove
A．Not many students are interested in the degree.
B．Some ideas about philosophy from our ancestors are ignored.
C．There are no supernatural phenomena in the rest of the world.
D．The Western world is regarded as a rational and scientific world.
31．What does the university think of the job prospects for the graduates of MA
A．Challenging. B．Uncertain. C．Brilliant. D．Worrying.

In a response to the threat posed by rising sea levels, South Korea showed the world's first model of sustainable floating city in Busan.
"Sea level rise poses a threat for some small islands and some low-lying coasts, " says a recent report. The global sea level has risen by eight to nine inches since 1880. What's more frightening is that one-third of the rise in sea level happened in the last 25 years.
The floating city aims to provide technology for coastal cities facing severe land shortages that are combined by climatic threats. The city will serve as the "world's first model sustainable floating city" aiming to be "a structure that rises with the sea" supplying its own food, energy and water.
The floating city has six combined systems: zero waste and circular systems, closed-loop water systems, food, net-zero energy, innovative movement, and coastal habitat regeneration. These interconnected systems will generate 100 percent of the required energy through floating and rooftop photovoltaic panels(光伏板).
Each neighborhood will treat and refill its own water, process and recycle resources, and provide innovative urban agriculture. The floating city is the world's first model of a sustainable floating community. The interconnected neighborhoods spread across 6.3 hectares that can hold a community of12, 000 people. Starting from a community of 3 platforms with 12, 000 residents and visitors, it has the potential to expand to more than 20 platforms. The floating platforms have dozens of productive stations with photovoltaic panels and greenhouses that can expand and contract(收缩) over time based on the city's needs.
"I take seriously our commitment ‘ The First to the Future'. Our common future is at risk in the face of sea level rise and its impact on coastal cities, " said Busan Mayor Park Heong-joon, who has set a schedule, including turning Busan into a green smart city and compete for World Expo 2030.
This is as frightening as it is exciting to reach such an achievement, but living in a city that is like the communities where people try to survive in the movie Water World is kind of unhappy.
32．Why does South Korea build the floating city
A．To deal with the sea level rise.
B．To develop the sustainable energy.
C．To increase the land to grow plants.
D．To help reduce the global temperature.
33．What can we know about the floating city
A．It doesn't need agriculture.
B．It has six separate systems.
C．It produces energy by rooftop.
D．It can provide almost everything by itself.
34．What is Paragraph 5 mainly about
A．How the floating city will operate in its way.
B．How many people the floating city will hold.
C．How the floating city will produce its energy.
D．How the floating city will recycle its resources.
35．What might be the best title for the passage
A．Busan witnesses sea level rise.
B．Rising sea level threatens Busan.
C．Living in a floating city is exciting.
D．The first floating city is on the way.

In the experiment, according to Longo, "people think their hands are wider than they actually are. " 37． They were most accurate when finding their thumbs, but became less accurate with each finger, up to their pinkies(小指).
"It is connected to our sense of position, " explained Longo. Humans know where different parts of our bodies are, even if we can't see them. It tells us whether a joint (关节) is straight or not. 38． So the experiment the team conducted was to find those maps.
39． On the basis of the study, in our brain's map, brains "see" areas based on our sense of touch. The stronger the sense of touch in a specific body part is, the bigger that body part seems.

A. More nerves, larger a body part seems.
B. Let's see how our humans know our body parts.

Eight o'clock on a May morning, and Mary, my 17-year-old daughter, was in our study upstairs. It had served as her classroom ever since schools moved to remote learning due to the COVID-19.
From the kitchen, I listened to the sound of her tapping on the laptop or her communicating in their Google Meet session s with her friends and teachers. I resisted the desire to check on her. Way too often, I would find Mary texting friends and commenting on their Snapchat and Instagram posts about the fun they were having together. I felt it safer not to care. After all, we'd barely left the house for 10 weeks straight.
"Mom, everyone is hanging out today!" Mary's voice came from upstairs. "Why can't I "I went up the stairs. Mary was lying on the floor, her laptop, school iPad and cell phone in front of her. "It's unfair, " she said. "I have no one I can be with. I can't wait until I'm 18. and can do what I want. "
We'd had this conversation before. Still, I couldn't help but feel sorry for her. I was sick of isolating(隔离) too. Even though Mary and I were at home together more than we had been in years, we might as well have been living in separate worlds.
"Wanna watch Netflix later " I asked. "Bake some cookies " "No, thanks. " Mary shook her head, as if the idea of doing something together was quite beyond her. I was used to Mary's rejection, but it still hurt. Teenage independence is healthy, but I worried that if I didn't find a way to bond with my girl soon, I might never be close with her again. She'd be 18 in the fall and had already convinced herself she didn't need me anymore. Maybe she was right. No matter what I did, I couldn't seem to reach her. That evening, I logged onto Facebook and saw a friend's family playing with their new kitten together. My mind went back to the difficult period when I was in high school and our family moved to the new city. It was a gray tabby(虎斑猫) with which Mom surprised me that brightened my days and got me through that difficult, lonely time.
注意：1. 续写词数应为 150左右；2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
It suddenly occurred to me that having a cat in our house might help.
We immediately decided to take the cat from the shelter home.

66．【答案】One possible version:
Dear Chief Editor,
I'm Li Hua, a senior student in our school. Learning/Hearing that some editors are needed for the student English newspaper—Youth, I'm writing to apply for the post sincerely.
From my perspective, Growing Up Together is aimed at popularizing knowledge of mental health and helping students tackle adolescent problems. The column can create a safe and warm place where students pour out their growing pains and confusion without being judged and we, as their peers, can offer our understanding and comfort.
Fluent in English writing and always keen on exploring psychology science, I am definitely qualified for the post. Besides, I once worked as a chief editor of the English newspaper of our class, which I believe will be helpful for the job.
I would appreciate it if my application could be taken into account. Looking forward to your reply.
Yours sincerely，
Li Hua

67．【答案】One possible version:
All of a sudden, it occurred to me that having a cat in our house might help."You want to get a kitten " I asked Mary."Oh, Yes!"she relied eagerly."I want an orange tabby. A male!"The next morning, I called shelters, but no one had any kittens, let alone a male orange tabby. I was about to give up when one shelter responded telling me that an 8-week kitten who lost his mom was seeking help and they also sent a photo. Showing the photo to Mary, I was pleased to see her eyes round, sparkling with excitement. This is exactly my dream kitten. Do get it for me, please, mom." Mary begged in a thrilled tone, holding my arm with wild joy. It was so long since we got that close to interact that I was almost moved to tears.
We immediately decided to take the cat from the shelter home. Having made preparations together, we waited eagerly for the new member to arrive. Then came Ron, named by my daughter, a really active fellow who often brought laughter to us everywhere he popped up. Mary worked with me to look after him, train him and enjoy her time with Ron. To my great joy, I could hear more laughter from Mary, who shared loads of warm scenes of the whole family having fun together in her Instagram posts instead of locking herself in the study all day long. In a sense, the invisible wall between us seemed to have been broken down. Sometimes, there is no need to seek magic for a change, and a bond that clicks alive can work miracles .
