Dear Committee Members,
I am Li Hua, a student from China currently studying in the UK. Learning that an upcoming traditional food exchange event will be held in our committee, I am writing to apply for it.
Having learned a lot about Chinese food, I am extremely thrilled to share my knowledge with others. In addition, I have experience in cooking traditional Chinese food, such as dumplings and hot pots, which would be a valuable addition to the event.
I would appreciate it if accepted. I hope to hear from you soon.
Sincerely, Li Hua

My mind was playing Pingpong. His old and black shoes flashed through my mind. But my gaze again fell on the brand new Penny Loafers. I was fascinated by these gleaming shoes and couldn’t take my eyes off them. I was about to spend all my ten dollars on them when I recollected Dad’s worn-out shoes. The gleam of the loafers started to dull. I took shoes of my dad’s size from the clearance rack and darted to the checkout counter.
I ran back to the shop and put Dad’s new shoes on the seat in his car. The moment we got in the car Dad picked up the box. When he opened it he just stared without saying a word. A mixture of guilt and delight came from the bottom of my heart. He looked first at the shoes and then at me. “I thought you need a new pair of shoes more than I do.” I broke the silence. Dad put his hand on my shoulder and we sat looking at each other for a moment. Nothing else was said. Dad started the car and we went home.石嘴山三中2023-2024高二年级第二次月考英语试题

Several art projects are on show to warn people of the climate change happening around us.
Video on the walls
Photographer Camille Seaman has traveled to both the North Pole and the South Pole, where she has captured the disappearing ice in photographs and video. Camille Seaman made a video with some of her most powerful photos of melting ice for people in four coastal cities to display on their buildings. The video ends with a prediction that sea level will rise by 2050 without relative action.
Mural (壁画) changing color
Temperatures in Austin, Texas, are on the rise, and climate change will put the city at higher risk of extended drought, wildfires, intense rain and flooding. Artist Lope Gutiérrez-Ruiz designed a unique mural that changes color as it gets hotter. This art work calls for people to change the world and change climate change, underlining the importance of individual actions to the collective future.
Public billboard (广告牌)
Artist Christine Sun Kim released a public billboard on the 710 Freeway called The Sound of Temperature Rising. It points to the reality of climate disaster that has become all too clear on the West Coast and the need for significant change now. The illustration features a graph (图表) of music notes that get progressively longer and redder.
Anti-Extinction Library
Globally, species are disappearing at an unheard-of rate. In response, architect Mitchell Joachim created The Anti-Extinction Library in New York. The sculptural piece is not only beautiful but also functional. Their unique egg-shaped library has a special freezer storing test tubes with the frozen cells and DNA of rare animals and plants. It’s important for people to realize we must quickly work to protect the rights of different species in our area.
21．What is the key feature of the mural
A．It lights up at night. B．It moves with the wind.
C．It plays music when it rains. D．It changes color with temperature.
22．Whose work contains frozen cells

An impressive invention made by a 17-year-old teenager, called Anna Du, is helping to clean up small pieces of plastic from the ocean.
While walking along her local beaches in Massachusetts, the young student began collecting waste plastic bags and bottles. But what she noticed was a large number of tiny pieces of plastic or microplastics（微塑料） that were impossible to pick up. At just 12 years old, Du set out to solve the problem. After testing a few prototypes (原型) in her backyard, she invented a remotely operated vehicle that uses the infrared camera (红外摄像机) to detect microplastics on the ocean floor. More recently, Du has also created a simulation (模拟) model that uses artificial intelligence to predict where microplastics are located.
Du’s robot invention has earned her awards at top science fairs in the US, and she’s now a nationally recognized advocate for microplastic awareness and pollution prevention. “When I first started doing science fairs, I had no idea that a young girl without lots of money and just a little advanced engineering knowledge could make a difference in the world. I’ve learned that I truly love working on a problem that’s so much larger than me,” Du said.
Du has also released a new book to help spread the word not only about the dangers of microplastics but also about the ways to relieve the problem. Titled Microplastics & Me, the book follows Du’s own story of how she went from worrying about the environment to designing award-winning solutions. Writing for kids her own age, the young girl reminds her readers of the threat of microplastic pollution and urges them to care about the environment. The book hopes to encourage young students to get into science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) subjects and to inspire a new generation of inventors and engineers. What’s more, Du has even raised more than $7,000 to distribute the book free to kids and libraries in high-need communities.
24．What inspired Du to make the invention
A．There was too much rubbish along the beaches. B．The sea was polluted seriously.
C．The plastics were too small to collect by hand. D．She was interested in AI.
25．What can we learn about Du from paragraph 3
A．She is too poor to make a difference. B．She has a spirit of challenge.
C．She doesn’t study hard in engineering. D．She wins international recognition.
26．In which section of a newspaper may this text appear
A．Art. B．Voice. C. Culture. D. Innovation.
27．Why does Du write the book Microplastics & Me
A．To inspire readers to share their stories.
B．To encourage high schools to offer STEM subjects.
C．To raise the awareness of microplastics pollution.
D．To collect money for kids in high-need communities.

Last December, sixteen teams took part in the first rugby championship (橄榄球锦标赛) for primary and middle school students in Fuzhou, Fujian Province. Young players all enjoyed themselves in the games.
The event was held in Fuzhou No. 10 High School. The school set up the city’s first high school students’ rugby team in December 2020. And from September last year, it started to give rugby classes and students are very interested in them.
The event played an important role in developing students’ interests in sports, teaching students about team spirit and supporting the development of rugby in China. “Rugby is a good way to develop teamwork skills, said Yeh Chao-hsiang, a rugby teacher at a university in Fujian. “Students are taught to respect their teammates and opponents (对手).”
When playing rugby, players must follow strict rules. And since rugby is a sport that needs body contact, students’ safety has to be put first. So when the students are playing a rugby game, they are requested to follow an important rule - when there is a touch on the body of the player who carries the ball, the player should put the ball down and let a teammate continue. “With this rule, rugby is a safe sport for both boys and girls and people of any age.” said Wu Lusheng, head of the Fujian Rugby Association.
“The sport is easy to learn and the rules are easy to understand. Even small children can take part in rugby training and competitions,” said Wu. “They are curious and excited when they see the egg-shaped ball and the special ways the game is played.”
28．What do we know about the rugby championship mentioned in the passage
A．It was held in 2020.
B．20 teams took part in it.
C．It was for primary and middle school students.
D．The team from Fuzhou No. 10 High School won at last.
29．What does paragraph 3 focus on about the championship
A．Its plan. B．Its meaning. C．Its theme. D．Its popularity.
30．The important rule mentioned in paragraph 4 is to deal with the problem of ________.
A．team spirit B．training time C．body contact D．age difference
31．From which part of a newspaper can we read the text
A．Sports. B．History. C．Health. D．Technology.
D
The first time you start to read a poem, you must relax and read through it without concentrating on its meaning. Imagine you are meeting a person for the first time. You will just observe him and listen to his voice, as well as watch his shapes or movements, but you have not yet known what he is all about. Likewise, you may enjoy the sound, rhythms, or wording, and form some first impressions about a poem.
On your second reading, you should concentrate more on the general meaning of the poem. This time, you will want to compare your feelings about the poem by now with how you felt before. Are they the same What is different and why
Your third reading will focus more on details: the words, phrases, or images. Looking up any unfamiliar words in a dictionary so that you can gain a more accurate understanding. Using the example given above about meeting someone, his image will change gradually and slightly as you meet and learn more about him. Therefore, in your additional readings, it is a good idea to compare your understanding each time with the understanding before.
A helpful approach to further understanding a poem is to summarize it in your own pare your version of understanding with those of others reading the same poem, and listen to how they form such opinions. Remember, however, that there is no exact or right meaning for a poem, as most poets have admitted they themselves are not exactly sure what they meant when writing certain lines or phrases; they have even been heard to say on occasion that sometimes words just seem to “drop from heaven” and land on the page. That is what awakening the imagination is all about. If you are lucky, and if you practice enough, magical things may happen when you write and you may be able to produce a beautiful poem or other work of art yourself.
32．Why does the author give the example of “meeting a person”
A．To arouse readers’ interest . B．To support his argument.
C．To offer some advice. D．To explain his point.
33．What will you gain from the third reading of a poem
A．General meaning. B．Rhythm beauty.
C．Deeper meaning. D．Poetic structure.
34．What does the underlined word “that” refer to
A．Poets themselves don’t understand their poems.
B．Beautiful poems drop from heaven occasionally.
C．Poetic meanings are open to different explanations.
D．Writing a summary helps understand a poem.
35．What can we conclude from the last paragraph
A．Inspiration and hard work help create great poems.
B．Poetry is an expression of one’s will in words.
C．Practice and patience make a man perfect.
D．Luck marches with those who give their very best.

阅读下面短文, 根据所给情节和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Keeping up seemed so important when I was a teenager. Back in 1973, if you weren’t wearing Penn Loafers (乐福鞋) you’d just as soon go around in your bare feet. There was only one problem that year, I had bought Oxfords—but Penny Loafers were in.
“I need some money for Penny Loafers.” I told my dad one afternoon at the place where he worked as a car mechanic.
Dad looked at me for a full minute before he answered, “Wear those shoes one more day. Look at every pair of shoes you see at school. If you can tell me that you are worse off than the other kids, I’ll buy new shoes for you.”
The next day, I did what Dad said. I saw many schoolmates wore torn shoes of the likes I’d never had to wear, and shoes with holes in them, but I had no intention of telling him the results.
When school was out, I rushed to the place where Dad worked. It was quiet. Only an occasional clank (叮当声) of metal could be heard as Dad worked under a car. Then dad’s shoes came into my sight. They were old and black, the kind mechanics and service-station attendants wore. I saw the mended soles (鞋底) and the spliced laces (拼接的鞋带) .
“You do what I told you today ”
“Yes, sir.”
“Well, what do you want to do ” He looked as though he might know what my answer would be.
“I still want the Penny Loafers.” I forced myself not to look at his shoes.
Dad handed me ten dollars. I took the money and went to the store two blocks down the street. A rack (货架) on a far wall appeared as if it had a million pairs of black Penny Loafers resting on it. On a rack next to it was a sign that reads “CLEARANCE 50% OFF”. Below the sign sat several “young” versions of Dad’s shoes.
