【参考范文】
Paragraph 1：
I tried to comfort the woman who seemed to feel worried about causing trouble for others. But actually it was not too much trouble since they could still pass. We laughed and I joked that all we really needed was some tea for our chat. She thought it was a good idea. So I gladly ran to the opposite road to buy a cup of green tea. We enjoyed the tea and talked happily. We seemed to be good friends. The passers by felt a little strange when seeing us communicating beside the road，but they just smiled.
Paragraph 2：
Finally，help came and her car was helped back on the main road. She thanked me for my help. I said I had just spent 45 minutes staying with her. She seemed to feel relaxed when we said our goodbyes. She asked for my phone number so she could return the kindness, but I told her it was OK. When knowing that I must pick up my daughter, she offered to drive to my daughter's school first. I accepted it and thanked her, too. I believed not having to face a difficult situation alone mattered much for her and I hoped people could help each other.2023-2024 年高二英语第一学期第二次月考英语试题

When Albert Einstein was young,he was a quiet child who spent much of his time alone.He
was slow to talk and had difficulty in learning to read.
When Albert was five years old,his father gave him a compass.Albert was filled with wonder
when he discovered that the compass needle always pointed in the same direction—the north.He
asked his father and his uncle what caused the needle to move.Their answers were difficult for
Albert to understand.Yet he spent a lot of time thinking about them.He said later that he felt
something must be hidden behind things.
Albert didn’t like school.The German schools of that time were not pleasant.Students
couldn’t ask questions.Albert said he felt as if he were in prison.
One day Albert told his uncle Jacob how much he hated school,especially mathematics.His
uncle told him to solve mathematical problems by pretending to be a policeman.“You are looking
for someone,” he said,“but you don’t know who he is.Call him ×.Find him by using your
mathematical tools.”
Albert learned to love mathematics.He was studying the complex mathematics of calculus
while all his friends were still studying simple mathematics.Instead of playing with his friends he
thought about things such as “What would happen if people could travel at the speed of his light ”
Albert wanted to teach mathematics and physics.He graduated with honors,but it was a pity
that he could not get a teaching job.
4.According to paragraph 2,we can learn that Albert Einstein .
A.was interested in the compass

We often hear about how air pollution is changing earth temperatures. New evidence
from a mountaintop in China now suggests that pollution can also change the amount
of rain and snow falling in some places.
Usually, more precipitation (降水量 ) falls in mountainous places than in flat areas
upwind (逆风的) from the mountains. In recent years, however, many mountainous
areas in the USA have been getting 25 percent less precipitation than normal.
{#{QQABJQgAggAAABJAABhCUwECCgGQkAGACAoOBEAIsAAAQRFABCA=}#}
Mountains that are downwind of cities have experienced the biggest drops.
Some British scientists have theorized that pollution moves from the cities into the
mountains, affecting rainfall. To get answers, scientists from the Hebrew University of
Jerusalem (耶路撒冷 ) turned to a mountain in China called Mount Hua. The
mountain is 2，060 metres tall and lies about 120 kilometers east of the Chinese city of
Xi'an. Since 1954, meteorologists (气象学家 ) have been collecting details about
rainfall, humidity, and visibility (能见度) in the area. Scientists compared rainfall on
Mount Hua with rainfall in the nearest city, Huayin, on days with varying levels of
visibility using these data．When the air was clear and people could see 20 km away,
the scientists found that 65 percent more rain fell on the mountain than in the city. But
when smoggy, allowing only 8 km of visibility through the haze (薄雾), the mountain
received just 20 percent more rain than the city did. The new data support the theory.
Some scientists believe that there are other explanations for the numbers. For example,
some believe that naturally occurring particles (颗粒) in the air rather than particles
produced by pollution are affecting visibility. This is the first study to observe a
connection between rainfall and changes in visibility due to air pollution. However,
more studies are needed to confirm the link.
8 ． The scientists carrying out the study on Mount Hua are most probably
from ．
A．China B．the USA
C．Israel (以色列) D．Britain
9．In the third paragraph “these data” don't include the information about ．
A．the population there
B．the amount of rainfall
C．the humidity
D．the visibility
10．From the last paragraph, we can learn that ．
A．scientists haven't paid enough attention to weather changes
B．not all scientists believe that there is a connection between visibility and rainfall
C．the low visibility must be caused by the heavy air pollution
D．air pollution may not be the only reason for the change of the visibility
11．What does the passage mainly talk about
A．The factors affecting the amount of rainfall.
B．The effect of air pollution on earth temperatures.
C．Aweather study carried out on a mountain in China.
D．Air pollution reducing precipitation.

Body language has always been a hot topic of interesting dinner conversations.It
is perhaps one of the most powerful forms of human expression or human
communication!
Body language is a very important part of communication which can constitute
50% or more of what we are communicating to other persons.If you wish to
communicate effectively, besides the words, you can use your body to say what you
mean.
{#{QQABJQgAggAAABJAABhCUwECCgGQkAGACAoOBEAIsAAAQRFABCA=}#}
Body language can be used to discover all sorts of things such as, knowing when
someone is attracted to you, finding truth and lies, showing confidence, winning
respect in any situation, and you can use body language to make people less nervous,
make friends quickly, persuade (说服), and influence.
So what is body language Body language is a term used to describe the method
of communication using body movements or gestures instead of, or besides, spoken
language or other communication.Body language also includes many movements that
most people are not aware of, such as winking (眨眼) and slight movements of the
eyebrows and other facial expressions.
Body language is one of the easiest ways for you to tell what's really going on in
a conversation with another person.The body language that you observe from other
people will tell you whether or not those people are telling you the truth, or whether
there is something more that's not being said.Watch, look and observe.Sometimes you
can tell more by a person's body language than the words he speaks.
5．The underlined word “constitute” in Paragraph 2 probably means
“ ”．

C．turn up
D．put up
6．From the third paragraph, we can learn ．

With the development of traffic, car accidents happen almost every day. I still remember one thing
that happened on the road two years ago. It was a fine day. On my way back home, there were a
lot of cars coming and going as usual. Suddenly, I was stopped at a traffic light by some people
who asked for help. A woman tried her best to give way to an ambulance(救护车)，but drove her
car over the stony obstacles(障碍) that separated the bike line from the street. Unluckily, she had
her car trapped as a result. She could not move the car in any direction. She felt really nervous and
did not know how to deal with it.
Luckily，many kind people offered to help her. Some people tried to lift the car back and some
people tried to move the stony obstacles. Even the teenagers put down their schoolbags and joined
them. But the obstacles were too heavy and high. They failed. Seeing that they could not do much
about it, they called the emergency phone numbers. And finally they had no choice but to walk
away. The woman alone in the car tried to call for service.
While watching the other people leave and finding she needed some service, I realized that the
woman would be on her own and felt helpless. She watched her car and the stony obstacles
hopelessly. And at that time, I imagined how painful I would be if I were in that situation. So, I
asked her what I could do for her. She appreciated my concern. She said staying with her was fine.
She made a call and was told that it would take about 45 minutes for someone to arrive. With a
sense of sadness, she said, “How will I spend the boring 45 minutes？” I said to her with smile, “I
will stay with you and buy you a cup of tea if you like. ” “It is very kind of you to stay with me，”
she smiled at last.
Paragraph 1：
I tried to comfort the woman who seemed to feel worried about causing trouble for others.
Paragraph 2：
Finally，help came and her car was helped back on the main road.
