Text 10
W: Have you ever forgotten an appointment at the doctor's or been late in getting to your part-time job Occasionally, these things happen to everybody. I forget to lock the door when I went out three weeks ago. However, we can avoid such problems if we write out schedules. Schedules help us see how much time we have to do the things that are important, as well as those that are fun. A master schedule can be used to find out how much time we really have for activities. This schedule lists all the activities that we must complete. A weekly schedule can be used to help us plan time for the things that we really like to do. Our weekly schedule should include time for activities. It should also include activities that will help us achieve long-term and short-term goals. Finally, it should include our study time and free time. Free time is necessary so that we can make needed changes in our schedule. A daily schedule is a final suggestion to help us plan our time. I started making daily schedules three months ago. Gradually, I began to use the first two kinds of schedules, and they have really helped me a lot.武冈市2023-2024学年高三上学期期中考试

Portugal’s Most Beautiful Seaside Destinations
The long coastline of Portugal is extraordinarily diverse. Wind your way along it and you will find true Portugal, its history, its heart and its soul.
Cascais
Originally a little white-washed fishing village, Cascais became a summer residence for wealthy noblemen in the late 19th century. It is now a busy, modern town, but along its shoreline, it still has palatial villas (富丽堂皇的别墅)，many of which have been turned into hotels, and its pretty town square and old streets have kept their character.
Comporta
This little village has , until recently ,been a secret of the experts. With hotels now starting to open, the locals make the most of it before the crowds come. Blue water washes such picture-perfect white sands that it’s hard to believe you’re in Europe: walk the beach at sunset, or weave your way on horseback through the green rice fields before a meal of the freshest of fish on the seashore.
Zambujeira do Mar
Standing between the fierce Atlantic and the plains of the Alentejo, the little fishing village of Zambujeira do Mar has one of the region’s most beautiful beaches, backed by high rock cliffs. For five days in August, one of Portugal’s biggest youth music festivals, MEO Sudoeste , is held here.
Lagos
White-washed Lagos manages to maintain its character and charm while offering lively nightlife to the locals and tourists. An important naval center in the 15th century, Lagos was also the capital of the Algarve from1576-1756. Extensively damaged in the 1755 earthquake, the town now consists of mostly18th-and-19th-century buildings. Visit Santo Antonio Church for its blue and white tiles and gilded (镀金的) woodwork.
21. Which place is still a secret destination known by experts
A. Lagos. B. Comporta. C. Cascais. D. Zambujeira do Mar.
22. What is special about Zambujeira do Mar
A. It is a remote village. B. It faces the Pacific Ocean.
C. It hosts a music festival. D. It lies on high rock cliffs.
23. When were most of the existing constructions in Lagos built
A. 14-15th centuries. B. 15-16th centuries.
C. 16-17th centuries. D. 18-19th centuries.

Ed Jackson’s team were trying to climb to the top of a Himalayan mountain. However, weeks after they set off, they were stranded there overnight without water, food or tents at a temperature of about －30℃.They took turns to keep each other awake in case they fell asleep and did not wake up again.
Actually, that night on the mountain top was not the first time that Jackson had been close to death.
Five years ago, while still a professional rugby player, Jackson broke his neck in a challenge, which nearly killed him. Jackson was told by doctors that he was likely to face life in a wheelchair. He was forced to retire from playing rugby.
Luckily, Jackson managed to discard his wheelchair six months after the accident. To mark the first anniversary of his accident, Jackson set himself the goal of climbing Mount Snowdon, the highest mountain in Wales, even though he was still using two crutches then. He tried to climb many higher mountains after that. Four years later, he found himself in the Himalayas.
The challenges that Jackson faced in the mountains have had a great impact on his recovery both physically and mentally. Jackson realized that others might benefit, too. So he started the charity Millimeters to Mountains (M2M) with his wife Lois and his friend Oily Barkley. It takes beneficiaries who have suffered physical or psychological injuries in challenges around the world, allowing them to access the healing power of nature.
Jackson says, “I once lost hope in life because of my bad condition, thinking there was nothing I could do. But hopefully what I’m doing, what we’re doing with the charity and what our beneficiaries are proving can give anyone the hope that they can turn their life around, no matter how discouraging it might seem at that moment.”
24. What do the first two paragraphs mainly talk about
A. Jackson was tired of ball games.
B. Jackson was no stranger to suffering in life.
C. Jackson was well respected for his survival skills.
D. Jackson was advised to do exercise by his doctors.
25. What does the underlined word “ discard” probably mean in the third paragraph
A. Give up. B. Figure out. C. Move on. D. Look through.
26. Why did Jackson start M2M
A. To educate sports lovers.
B. To raise money for the disabled.
C. To encourage safe mountain climbing.
D. To help people with similar experiences.
27. What kind of person is Jackson probably
A. Enthusiastic but impolite. B. Creative but impatient.
C. Adventurous and inspiring. D. Responsible and humorous.
C
In a global report of lake colour, researchers estimate that roughly one-third of Earth’s lakes are blue. But, should average summer air temperatures rise by a few degrees, some of those clear waters could turn a cloudy green or brown, the Learn reports in the Sept.28 Geophysical Research Letters.
The changing colours could change how people use those waters and offer clues about the stability of lake pared with blue lakes, green or brown lakes have more algae and organic matter, says Xiao Yang, a hydrologist (水文专家) at Southern Methodist University.
Lakes in places with average summer air temperatures that were below 19° Celsius were more likely to be blue than lakes with warmer summers. That’s because warmer water helps algae bloom more, which changes the properties of the water.
Yang and colleagues used satellite photos from 2013 to 2020 to analyze the colour of more than 85, 000 lakes around the world. Because storms and seasons can temporarily affect a lake’s colour, the researchers focused on the most frequent colour observed for each lake over the seven-year period. The researchers also created an interactive online map that can be used to explore the colours of these lakes. The approach is “ super cool, ” the researchers say. These satellite data are “ just so powerful. ”
If some lakes do become less blue, people will probably lose some of the resources they have come to value, O’Reilly says, who is an ecologist at Illinois State University. Lakes are often used for drinking water, food or recreation. If the water has more algae, it could be unappealing for play or more costly to clean for drinking. But the colour changes wouldn’t necessarily mean that the lakes are any less healthy. “Humans don’t value lots of algae in a lake, but if you’re a certain type of fish species, you might be like ‘this is great,’ ” O’Reilly says.
28. What can we learn about the lakes’ colour change according to the text
A. It is caused by water pollution.
B. It does harm to the growth of algae.
C. It results from the temperature increase.
D. It can disturb the stability of lake ecosystems.
29. How was the research conducted
A. By doing field investigation.
B. By analyzing long-term satellite data.
C. By researching previous studies.
D. By observing the daily colour of the lakes.
30. Which word best describes O’Reilly’s attitude to the colour change
A. Objective. B. Doubtful. C. Unconcerned. D. Favourable.
31. What’s the author’s purpose in writing the text
A. To call on people to protect lakes.
B. To introduce a new research method.
C. To provide solutions to lakes’ colour change.
D. To present the outcome of a research.
D
There’s a continuing controversy over whether electric vehicles should produce sounds to let the blind and other pedestrians know they’re on the scene. Some think those sounds should be standardized—like the “beep, beep, beep” of heavy machinery backing up, so you’ll think " something heavy is coming this way" when you hear it—and some think any sound will do.
This is a serious subject. Plug-in hybrid cars (插电式混合动力车) and battery electric vehicles are super-quiet, and a study at the University of California, Riverside concludes that people listening to recordings on headphones can hear a regular gas car coming from 28 feet away, but a hybrid in battery mode only when it’s 7 feet away.
In response, the European Union has put new rules into play: all new electric vehicle models must have a sound-producing device, which sounds like a traditional engine. Starting in 2021,all new electric vehicles of any model have had the Acoustic Vehicle Alerting System or AVAS. That sound comes into play when the car is traveling backwards or when it’s traveling at less than 12 miles an hour - speeds at which cars are more likely to be mixing with pedestrians.
That’s a nice start, say representatives for the blind, but more is needed." We’re calling on the government to take this announcement further by requiring AVAS on all existing electric and hybrid vehicles and ensuring drivers have them switched on," John Welsman, guide dog owner and Guide Dogs staff member, said in a statement.
Drivers in most eases have the ability to shut off the device when needed. My guess is that they will eventually be standardized so your mind will automatically register “electric car” when you hear it. And that’s probably a good thing to reduce the mayhem(混乱)on the roads.
32. How does the author show “electric cars are quiet” in Paragraph 2
A. By making a classification. B. By making a comparison.
C. By analyzing cause and effect. D. By setting down general rules.
33. What can be learned about the AVAS
A. It was developed by the European Union.
B. It was designed for inexperienced drivers.
C. It consists of a sound-producing device and an engine.
D. It warns pedestrians of the coming of an electric car.
34. What does John Welsman think of the new rules
A. They are too strict for drivers. B. They are too complex to follow.
C. They need further improvement. D. They hardly allow for any flexibility.
35. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage
A. Problems with electric cars
B. A new type of electric car on sale
C. Electric cars with a standardized sound-producing device
D. Quiet electric cars

He had been working overtime for nearly a month, his program was still rejected by his manager. Unfortunately, his mom was diagnosed with lung cancer the other day. He felt his life couldn't be worse. As he walked, he thought seriously about giving up his present job and returning to his hometown. H e thought in regret if he had not left his hometown to seek his fortune in the big city, his life wouldn't have been in such a hopeless situation.
City life had become too much for him. As he walked down empty streets under tall buildings, he felt very cold and frightened. He began running, both to keep warm and to keep away from any possible robbers. Very few people were still out except a few sad-looking homeless people under blankets. About a block from his apartment, he heard a sound behind him. He felt frightened and turned back quickly, half expecting to see someone with a knife or a gun. The street was empty, with no one in sight. All he saw was a shining streetlight. Still, the noise had made him nervous, so he started to run faster towards his apartment.
When he finally arrived at his apartment, he was out of breath but relieved. Not until he reached his apartment building and unlocked the door did he realize what the noise had been. It had been his wallet falling on the sidewalk. Suddenly, he was not cold or tired anymore. Without hesitation, he ran out of the door and back to the sidewalk where he had heard the noise. He searched the sidewalk anxiously for about fifteen minutes, but his wallet was still nowhere to be found.

第二节
Tom was about to give up the search when he saw a tall man walking towards him. Frightened and nervous, Tom thought the tall man must be a robber. He wanted to run away, but on second thought, he also hoped that maybe the man could give him some clues on where he could find his wallet. As the tall man came close, he asked Tom what he was up to. Tom told him that he must have lost his wallet somewhere nearby. Hearing that, the tall man inquired more about Tom's wallet's details and then took out a wallet. Tom immediately recognized it and was excited to express his gratitude to the tall man.
After getting his wallet back, Tom went back to his apartment. Walking home, Tom found the city night as attractive as that of his hometown. The moon seemed to lighten the sky with stars twinkling there. A dense earthly sweet smell rose from the ground, enveloping everything within its soft embrace. He thought what he found was not only a wallet but also his hope and enjoyment for the future life. He realized that one could find a warm home all around the world as long as people were willing to help each other.

25. A 词义猜测题。画线词前动词短语“managedto”的意思是“设法”,结合其后“his wheelchair”和下一句“To mark the first anniversary of his accident,Jackson set himself the goal of climbing Mount Snowdon, the highest mountain in Wales, even though he was still using two crutches then.(为了纪念他的事故一周年,Jackson 给自己设定了攀登威尔士最高山峰斯诺登山的目标,尽管当时他还在拄着两根拐杖。)”可知,Jackson不需再使用轮椅了,所以画线词discard 意为“抛弃”,与动词短语give up 意思相近。故选A。
26. D 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“It takes beneficiaries who have suffered physical or psychological injuries in challenges around the world, allowing them to access the healing power of nature.(它接受在世界各地的挑战中遭受身体或心理伤害的受益者,使他们能够获得大自然的治愈力量。)”可知,Jackson 创办M2M是为了帮助有类似经历的人。故选D。

C
28. C 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“But,should average summer air temperatures rise by a few degrees,some of those clear waters could turn a cloudy green or brown(但是,如果夏季平均气温上升几度,一些清澈的湖水可能会变成暗绿色或棕色)”可知,湖水颜色的改变是由于湖水温度的升高,故选C。
29. B 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Yang and colleagues used satellite photos from 2013 to 2020 to analyze the colour of more than 85,000 lakes around the world. Because storms and seasons can temporarily affect a lake's colour, the researchers focused on the most frequent colour observed for each lake over the seven-year period. The researchers also created an interactive online map that can be used to explore the colours of these lakes.(杨和他的同事利用从2013年到2020年的卫星照片分析了世界上超过85000个湖泊的颜色。由于风暴和季节可以暂时影响湖泊的颜色,研究人员将重点放在七年间观察到的每个湖泊最常见的颜色上。研究人员还创建了一个互动的在线地图,可以用来探索这些湖泊的颜色。)”可知,在研究中,研究人员通过分析长达七年的卫星照片,进而得出了研究结果。故选B。
30. A 观点态度题。根据最后一段“If some lakes do become less blue, people will probably lose some of the resources they have come to value, O'Reilly says, who is an ecologist at Illinois State University.Lakes are often used for drinking water, food or recreation. If the water has more algae, it could be unappealing for play or more costly to clean for drinking. But the colour changes wouldn't necessarily mean that the lakes are any less healthy. ‘Humans don't value lots of algae in a lake, but if you're a certain type of fish species, you might be like‘this is great,’’O'Reilly says.(奥莱利是伊利诺伊州立大学的生态学家,他说,如果一些湖泊的确变得不那么蓝了,人们可能会失去一些他们已经开始重视的资源。湖泊通常用于饮用水,食物或娱乐。如果水中有更多的藻类,那么在湖泊中娱乐就没有了吸引力,或者要获得清洁的饮用水的成本更高。但是颜色的变化并不意味着湖泊就不那么健康了。奥莱利说:‘人类并不看重湖中的大量藻类,但如果你是某种鱼类,你可能会说‘这真是太棒了，’’)”可知,在奥莱利看来,湖泊的颜色的变化未必就是一种灾难,要视情况而言。所以对于湖水颜色的变化,奥莱利的态度是客观的。故选A。
31. D 目的意图题。结合第一段“In a global report of lake colour,researchers estimate that roughly one-third of Earth's lakes are blue. But, should average summer air temperatures rise by a few degrees, some of those clear waters could turn a cloudy green or brown,the Learn reports in the Sept.28Geophysical Research Letters.(在一份全球湖泊颜色报告中,研究人员估计大约三分之一的地球湖泊是蓝色的。但是,如果夏季平均气温上升几度,那么一些清澈的海水可能会变成暗绿色或棕色， Learn 在9月28日的《地球物理研究通讯》中报道。)”可知,文章主要向人们介绍了一项研究的结果。故选D。
D
【短文大意】 本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了安静的楠电式混合动力车和绝电动汽车对行人可能会造成的危险以及应对措施。
32. B 推理判断题。 根据第二段第二句可知，插电式混合动
力车和纯电动汽车都非常安静，加州大学河滨分校的一项研究得出结论，人们戴着耳机听录音时可以听到28英尽尺开处的遭通燃油汽车，但退合动力车在电池想式下只有在7英尽开外时才熊听到。由此可知，作者通过对比人们戴着耳机听录音时可以听到燃油车和混合动力车的距离来表明电动车是安静的。
33、D 细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句可知，当汽车倒车或以低于每小时12英里的速度行驶时，这种声音就会响起——在这种速度下，汽车更有可能与行人相撞，也就是这种声音就会响起以警告行人电动车的到来。项分析

35. A 主旨大意题。根据第一段首句可知，关于电动汽车是
否应该发出声意让盲人和其他行人知道它们在场，一直在在争议。接着就声音问题展开论述，因为电动汽车相对安静，人们不容易察觉，有可能会对行人造成伤害，然后欧盟实施新规：所有新的电动汽车型号都必须有发声装置；接着用John Welsman的话说明新规还有需要改进的地方，最后一段说明作者最后的猜想：装置最终会标准化，道路上的混乱情况很可能会减少。综合上述可知，本文主要介绍了电动车的问题。故选A。
