江西省五市九校2022-2023学年高二下学期开学摸底联考英语试卷

学校：___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________

一、阅读理解

Whether you plan to travel to Espa a sometime soon, or just want

to take a virtual vacation, here are some of Barcelona and Madrid’s

most intriguing spiritual spots.

La Sagrada Familia

No trip to Barcelona is complete without gazing at Antoni Gaudí’s

crowning achievement: La Sagrada Familia. The church is expected

to be completed in 2026, exactly 100 years after the architect’s

death.

Once finished, it will be the tallest church in Europe at 566 feet,

slightly shorter than the nearby mountain of Montju c, as Gaudi

believed no man-made structure should be greater than God’s

creation.

Clergy-baked Treats

At Monasterio Del Corpus Christi in Madrid, ring a bell labeled

“monjas” and you can place your order for cookies baked by

cloistered nuns（隐居的修女）. Leave payment on a turntable and a

box of sweets will appear as if by magic.

Holy Toledo!

About half an hour outside of Madrid is the ancient city of Toledo,

known as the “City of Three Cultures,” because of its historical

significance to the Christian, Jewish, and Muslim faiths.

Toledo’s old town is set on a hill. The winding, uphill, cobblestone

streets—lined with shops selling swords and knives—will transport

you to medieval times.

Barri Gòtic

Perhaps Barcelona’s most mysterious section is its Gothic Quarter,

Barri Gòtic. Simply getting lost in its winding streets is worth

exploring, with hidden shops, artwork of saints, and lovely

lampposts at every turn. On Carrer del Bisbe, you’ll find one of Barri

Gòtic’s most photographed sites—Bishop’s Bridge. Under the

passageway is a skull and dagger design that has many legends

attached to it.

As a child growing up in a suburban town in the Northeast of the

United States, the arrival of spring had little meaning for me. Sure,

we had a weeklong spring vocation from school, but the key word

there was vacation, not spring.

For the kids in my neighborhood, the arrival of spring was a

non-event. There were two important seasons: winter, when we

could go skating and sledding or build snow forts, and summer,

when we could finally make proper use of the beach about 100

meter east of my family home. Spring and autumn were just

technical details, weeks and weeks of waiting for the good times'

return.

Admittedly, spring later developed its own attractions for me —"In

the spring a young man's fancy turns to thoughts of love", as the

poet Alfred Lord Tennyson noted—however, it was not spring itself,

but the other stuff bat got my attention.

In short, I never thought much at all about spring…. and then I

arrived in China. I had been in Beijing for about three months when

my first Spring Festival rolled around, and it could hardly be

ignored. Aside from the random bursts of fireworks at any time day

or night, what stood out most for me was that the capital seemed

to be empty.

It was as though the crowds and streams of cars and trucks

commonly seen in the capital had all gone into hiding. My

puzzlement cleared up when I returned to work. My colleagues

explained that Chinese traditionally travel, if necessary, to visit their

families during Spring Festival, and that many Beijingers were not

natives of the capital.

I also got my first knowledge of something about Spring Festival

that never ceases to amaze me. Regardless of when the holiday is

set to begin, there is an almost immediate and sudden change for

the better in the weather. Spring really does arrive.

I can't begin to figure out how the ancient Chinese could create a

system that would almost always accurately predict when the

season would shift year after year after year. But they did.

4、What did the author think of spring as a child

A. It was a season full of promise.

B. It was always beyond his imagination.

C. It was a tiring and long holiday.

D. It hardly left a good impression on him.

5、What impressed the author most about Beijing during the Spring

Festival

A. The busy traffic. B. The unexpected quietness.

C. Beijingers’ love for travel. D. Occasional bursts of fireworks.

6、How does the author feel about the system created by ancient

Chinese

A. Adorable. B. Confused. C. Wonderful. D. Convenient.

7、What can be inferred from the text

A. Spring Festival in Beijing will make one feel quite lonely.

B. The author spent his first Spring Festival at a colleague’s home.

C. In China Spring Festival always indicates the coming of Spring.

D. The author still worked during the Spring Festival while in Beijing.

You’ve just finished a hard run. Your legs are heavy and sore, heart

pounding, clothes sticking to your sweaty back. And you're smiling,

because you feel totally at peace with the world. This is the runner's

high — the strange excitement that sets in after a long bout of

aerobic（有氧的） exercise.

The most obvious way to get a runner's high is to start running,

particularly long-distance running. It may take several miles for the

effects to kick in, though it's difficult to quantify（量化） exactly

when, where and for how long a runner's high will occur. And not

every runner — or every run — will be able to produce a runner's

high. This variability has led some snarky Twitter users to conclude

that the runner's high is, in fact, a myth, despite the physiological

changes associated with it.

Other aerobic activities, including biking, swimming and strenuous

hiking, can trigger the same response without necessarily forcing

you to pound the pavement.

Interestingly, humans aren't the only animals that have exhibited

signs of runner's high. Several experiments have observed a similar

phenomenon in mice. Raichlen's lab has also tested dogs and

ferrets（雪貂）by sticking them on a treadmill（跑步机）and looking

for exercise-induced excitement, according to research published in

the Journal of Experimental Biology. After 30 minutes of running,

the dogs appeared at-ease; blood tests revealed elevated levels of

endocannabinoids in their systems. "We didn't see that in the

ferrets," Raichlen said.

One major benefit to achieving a runner’s high is that it makes

exercise more enjoyable. By extension, this makes people more

likely to stick to an exercise routine, which is a key component of

long-term heart health, according to the American Heart

Association. There is also good evidence that, over the long term,

exercise can help reduce anxiety and stress. So go ahead and lace

up your shoes. You’re free to chase that runner’s high as far as it

takes you.

8、According to the text, what is the direct result when “runner’s

high” is reached

A. Fewer diseases. B. Being positive. C. Higher speed. D. Feeling

anxious.

9、Which of the following can best replace the underlined word

“trigger” in paragraph 3

A. Break down. B. Relate to. C. Set off. D. Add to.

10、What is paragraph 4 mainly about

A. Runner’s high appears in some animals.

B. Runner’s high surely brings lots of benefits.

C. Another example with runner’s high is found.

D. Different animals have different runner’s high.

11、What can be inferred from the text

A. Running is highly recommended by the author.

B. Most of us are running to achieve runner’s high.

C. If you are running, runner’s high is sure to happen.

D. Runner’s high appears whenever you feel at peace.

Conservation scientist Kim Williams-Guillén was trying her best to

come up with a way to save endangered sea turtles (海龟）from egg

thieves when she had an "aha" moment: If she placed a fake (假）

egg containing a GPS tracker in the reptiles’ nests, she might be

able to track the thieves.

Williams-Guillén found a pliable plastic material to mimic（仿造）the

shell of real eggs. She and colleagues then used a 3D printer to

produce the fakes of the same size, weight, and texture and put the

smallest GPS tracking devices inside each. The researchers then

went to four Costa Rican beaches, where green sea turtle come

ashore to make their nests. As mothers laid their eggs under cover

of night, the researchers slipped a fake egg into each nest. Once

the fakes are covered in sand and mix with the real eggs, it’s very

difficult to tell the difference between the two.

Of the 101 fake eggs, 25 were taken by thieves. The farthest

moving egg traveled 137 kilometers inland. The fake egg sent its

final signal the next day from a residential property, suggesting

that the research team had tracked the eggs through "all of the

players in the entire chain."

By understanding that chain, Williams-Guillén says researchers can

identify trading hot spots. She emphasizes that the tracker is not a

way to catch local thieves, many of them living in poverty, but a

tool to better understand their routes, which could help them - and

eventually law enforcement - identify larger players in the chain.

In the meantime, Williams-Guillén and her colleagues are working

to get their fake eggs to other sea turtle conservation

organizations. Ultimately, though, scientists and nonprofits are

going to engage communities with local outreach and education

programs to save sea turtles. She says, “The real meat and potatoes

of conservation isn’t going to come from deploying（布署）eggs. ”

12、What can be learnt from paragraph 2

A. Fake eggs are made and employed.

B. Sea turtles have become endangered.

C. Sea turtles lay eggs during the daytime.

D. The idea of fake eggs came into being.

13、Why did researchers track the turtle eggs

A. To confirm whether the fake eggs really work.

B. To provide data for doing research on turtle eggs.

C. To arrest the locals stealing the turtle eggs from the beach.

D. To identify the trading routes and get the big players punished.

14、What does Williams-Guillén mean by saying “The real meat and

potatoes of conservation isn’t going to come from deploying eggs”

in the last paragraph

A. Deploying eggs needs advocating further.

B. Turtle conservation mainly relies on joint efforts.

C. She feels disappointed with the local communities.

D. Deploying eggs makes no difference in preserving turtles.

15、Which of the following can be the best title of the text

A. Saving endangered sea turtles is urgent.

B. Endangered turtles can be traced with GPS.

C. GPS eggs helps to save endangered sea turtles.

D. A conservation scientist is devoted to protecting sea turtles.

六、读后续写

34、阅读下面材料, 根据所给内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成一篇完整的短文。

The bird must have only just been hatched(孵化) when I spot it. Its

mother had disappeared, leaving it alone and shivering in the face

of the north wind. I decided to take it straight back and build it a

new home.

I hung an empty flowerpot(花盆) and it was in this pot that the bird

was to have its new home. When Dad got home, he immediately

discovered the new addition to our family. Without saying a word,

he turned around and left the house. After some time, he returned

and I saw that he had a handful of grass and pine needles.

Obviously, Dad thought the nest I had made was far too rough and

so he had decided to decorate it himself.

"A bird born at this time of year won’t survive the winter. "In spite

of this prediction on the bird's future, Dad very carefully fashioned

the nest himself. Soon I found "Nuo Nuo"(Dad had named him)

had started to grow feathers.

Dad probably realized that he had been a little cruel in his

prediction. You see, he had already started training Nuo Nuo to

walk. As you know, Nuo Nuo lived in a flowerpot, not a cage or

anything. It was obvious that Nuo Nuo didn't realize he was a bird.

He perhaps thinks he was one of the family. But it is not enough for

a bird to walk, it must fly as well. Dad soon began attempting to

make him learn this new ability, but it was not an easy task. After all,

nobody in our family had mastered the art of flying. We didn’t even

have wings. How could we ask Nuo Nuo to do something that we

had no means of doing ourselves

注意∶

1. 续写词数应为 150 左右;

2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

The flying lessons went on regardless.

Gradually, this “stupid” action of Dad's did actually have an ef ect.

endangered sea turtles(GPS蛋有助于拯救濒危海龟)”作为文章标题最为合适。故选A.

16、答案：①-⑤FDCEA

解析：本文是说明文。主要介绍了一些在课堂上发言的技巧。

①根据前文“Participating in class especially speaking up can not

only improve your grade but also show your teacher that you are a

good student(参与课堂，特别是发言，不仅可以提高你的成绩，还可以向你的老师展示你是一个好学生)”以及后文“Your teacher will

likely approve of the effort you are putting in.(你的老师很可能会认可你所付出的努力)”可知，空处是一个过渡句，由前文讲在课堂发言的好处，过渡到老师的看法，所以F项“Speaking up shows you care

about the class and are interested in the material(大声说出来表明你关心这门课，对材料感兴趣)”符合文意。故选F项。

②根据本段小标题“Relax(放松)”以及后文“More likely than not,

other students will think you are brave and smart for

participating.(更有可能的是，其他学生会认为你的参与是勇敢和聪明的)”可知，推知空处应是其他同学另一种做法，和后文比较，所以D项“Sure, all eyes may be on you, but only for a minute or two(当然，所有人的目光都在你身上，但只有一两分钟)”符合文意，本句也点出紧张的原因，和小标题相呼应。故选D项。

③根据前文“When you have something to say, speak as clearly and

concisely as possible. Don't mumble or look at the floor while you

are talking(当你有话要说的时候，尽量说得清楚简洁。说话时不要哺咱自语或看着地板)”和下文“Don't be cocky or condescending, just

be confident. (不要骄傲或居高临下，要自信)”推知，空处也是发言时需要注意的地方，所以C项“Address the teacher (or student)

directly(直接称呼老师(或学生))”，也是需要注意的点，符合文意。故选C项。

④分析空处位于段尾，是对前文的总结，根据前文“If something is

confusing to you, ask about it. This pertains to questions you may

have written down while doing your homework as well as to

material that is new to that day's class. Other students are likely

wondering the same thing you are.(如果有什么事情让你感到困惑，就去问间。这既适用于你在做作业时写下的问题，也适用于当天课堂上的新内容。其他学生可能也在想和你一样的事情)”可知，前文是在讲问老师问题，由此推知，空处陈述老师对这种情况的反应。所以E项“And the teacher will be glad to take a few minutes to clarify an

issue(老师很乐意花几分钟时间澄清问题)”符合文意。故选E项。

⑤分析设空可知，空处是本段小标题，根据后文"Don't try to answer

every question or give an opinion on every topic. At the same time,

don't think that answering one question the entire semester or year

is going to cut it. Aim to speak up once or twice per class session.

However, don't just speak to speak. Make sure you have something

relevant to say.(不要试图回答每个问题或对每个话题都发表意见。与此同时，不要认为回答一个问题就能解决整个学期或一-年的问题。力争每节课发言一到两次。然而，不要只是为了发言而发言。而是确保你有相关的内容要说) "可知，本段主要是说在总是发言和不发言间要找到平衡点，所以A项“Find a balance(找到平衡)”符合文意。故选A项。

17、答案：B

解析：考查名词词义辨析。句意:这个标志引起了我的注意，让我想起了儿时的梦想。A. promise承诺; B sign标志; C. guideline指导方针; D. exposure曝光。根据上文"New Recruits Wanted"可知，这是一个标志。故选B.

18、答案：A

解析：考查副词词义辨析。句意:但是，很快，我提醒自己，我已经快60岁了。A. quickly快速地; B accurately准确地; C. fundamentally从根本上; D. originally最初。根据下文"I reminded myself that I was

getting close to sixty" 可知，很快，作者提醒自己，作者已经快60岁了。故选A.

Dear Tom,

Knowing that you are interested in Chinese food culture, I’m more

than glad to invite you to a newly-opened Chinese restaurant near

my school this weekend.

As far as I know, this restaurant offers varieties of dishes rich in

nutrition and low in fat, which is of great benefit to health. However,

what impresses customers most is its elegant environment,

featuring typical Chinese elements. Of course, the prices are also

reasonable.

restaurant, where you can not only have a taste of Chinese food,

but appreciate Chinese culture as well. Looking forward to your

34、答案：

The flying lessons went on regardless. One day, Dad took out a

chair and climb on it. While I was curious what he was doing, Dad

jumped off the chair, waving his arms as if his life depended on it,

in an attempt to encourage Nuo Nuo to shake his wings like him.

Funny and clumsy as my dad looked, he tried hard in the hope that

Nuo Nu would understand his intention. Nuo Nuo looked at him in

surprise, seemingly wondering what happened.

Gradually, this “stupid” action of Dad's did actually have an effect.

Nuo Nuo began to shake his wings and started to rise. Everything

is hard at the beginning. At first it kept falling. Slowly it began to fly.

After a few days of practice, Nuo Nuo managed to fly and he

survived the winter as well. This is life. As long as we are

determined and don’t let difficulties get in our way, anything is

possible — there’s no end to where our determination can take us.
