参考范文：
A Weekend Trip
Last weekend, the Communist Youth League of our school arranged a trip to the park nearby, which was attended by all members of the Student Union. The activity was intended to strengthen the bond between members.
As scheduled, we gathered at the school gate early, bringing snacks and drinks. On arriving at the park, green grass dotted with clusters of colorful flowers was a true feast for the eyes. Then we marched to the center of the park, where members sat in a circle on the lawn and shared the food. The highlight of the day, undoubtedly, was the gala brought by the Music Club members. Their graceful moves and jumps impressed others a lot.
It was an excellent opportunity to promote communication between members. Through this event, everyone is aware that the Student Union is a family. Therefore, we should unite and help each other.

参考范文：
Paragraph 1:
It was Joyce’s turn to display his project. Making his way to the platform with heavy steps, Joyce placed all the materials for his project well and began to conduct his math magic quiz on the circuit board. He prayed in his heart that his lights would glow again but in vain. Hearing other students whispering to each other, Joyce's face flushed with shame. He ducked his head and stepped back to his seat. And then Karan's team showed their project. With joint efforts, they made it.
Paragraph 2:
Finally the teacher announced Karan’s team was the winner. All the children burst into thunderous applause on hearing that. Karan and his partners walked up to the front with great excitement. They were awarded and also received the surprise gift from Mangat Madam. After class, Joyce approached Karan, expressed admiration for his team’s project and congratulated on their success sincerely. That day, Joyce learnt the biggest lesson of his life: it is always better to work as a team rather than working alone.
阅读理解
A
21. 细节理解题。根据The Great Wall of China部分中 “an ancient defense project with the
longest construction time” 可知,长城是古代的防御工程。故选C。
22. 细节理解题。根据Angkor Wat, Cambodia部分中“one of the largest religious monuments in
the world”可知,吴哥窟是世界上最大的宗教遗迹之一。故选A。
23. 细节理解题。由Al-Khazneh, Jordan部分第二句中的“a magnificent building with a
pronounced Greek style”可知,卡兹尼神殿受到希腊风格建筑的影响。故选D。
B
24. 主旨大意题。根据第一段“However, passionate individuals are not scared of such
uncertainties. They set goals, welcome challenges, overcome obstacles, and eventually achieve what
satisfies them.”（然而，有激情的人并不害怕这种不确定性。他们设定目标，迎接挑战，克
障碍，最终实现令他们满意的目标。）可知，本段的主题是成就感来自充分利用不确定性
故选D项。
25. 细节理解题。根据第三段“Nicole joined the police academy intending to be helpful to society. She believed that a police officer has the opportunity to eliminate crime, bring justice, and create a better society for everyone.”（妮可加入了警察学院，打算对社会有所帮助。她相信，一名警察有机会消除犯罪，伸张正义，为每个人创造一个更美好的社会。）可知，妮可最初的职业承诺是履行职责，使社会变得更美好。故选A项。
26．细节理解题。根据第四段“Nicole suffered from an injury in a mission that ended her career in the police force.”（妮可在一次任务中受伤，结束了她在警察部队的职业生涯。）可知，妮可因为受伤不得不离开警察职位。故选B项。

C
28. 细节理解题。根据第一段Historians are often asked to examine the actions of our ancestors
so we can repeat their wisdom and avoid their mistakes. But the present is just too different from the past. It is a waste of time to study Hannibal's strategies in the Second Punic War so as to copy them in the Third World War. What worked well in cavalry battles will not necessarily be beneficial in cyber war. Studying history aims to loosen （松开） the hold of the past.（历史学家经常被要求研究我们祖先的行为，这样我们就可以重复他们的智慧，避免他们的错误。但是现在和过去太不一样了。研究汉尼拔在第二次布匿战争中的战略，以便在第三次世界大战中照搬是浪费时间的。在骑兵战中行之有效的方法在网络战中不一定有用。研究历史的目的是为了摆脱过去的束缚。）可知，作者在第一段提到了汉尼拔和骑兵的战斗是为了表明过去的经验可能不适用于现在。故选C项。
29. 细节理解题。根据第三段Later the new parliaments，supreme courts，presidential residences increasingly showed their power in row upon row of neat green grass. Humans came to identify lawns with political power, social position and economic wealth.（后来，新的议会、最高法院、总统官邸越来越多地在一排排整齐的绿草地上展示他们的权力。人类开始将草坪与政治权力、社会地位和经济财富联系起来。）可知，作者认为种植草坪的真正原因是它与权力和财富的联系。故选A项。
30．词句猜测题。根据最后一段When you now come to plan your dream house，you might think twice about having a lawn in the front yard. You are of course still free to do it. (当你现在开始规划你梦想中的房子时，你可能会考虑在前院建草坪。当然，你仍然可以自由地这样做。）以及This is the best reason to learn history：not in order to guess the future，but to free yourself of the past and imagine different lives.（这是学习历史最好的理由：不是为了猜测未来，而是为了把自己从过去中解放出来，想象不同的生活。）可知，但你也可以自由地摆脱上层阶级给你的文化标准。故划线短语"cultural cargo"指的是文化标准。A. Cultural mistakes.文化错误；B. Cultural standards.文化标准；C. Historical buildings.历史建筑；D. Historical knowledge. 历史知识。故选B项。
31．推理判断题。根据第一段Studying history aims to loosen （松开） the hold of the past.（研究历史的目的是为了摆脱过去的束缚。）以及最后一段中This is the best reason to learn history：not in order to guess the future，but to free yourself of the past and imagine different lives.（这是学习历史最好的理由：不是为了猜测未来，而是为了把自己从过去中解放出来，想象不同的生活。）可推知，作者认为，学习历史是为了减少来自过去的控制。故选D项。
D
32. 推理判断题。根据第一段“The first hibernation (冬眠) studies with human subjects could be
workable within a decade, a European Space Agency (ESA) researcher thinks. Such experiments
would make it possible for a science-fiction-like approach to long-time space missions that would
see astronauts placed into protective sleep for weeks or months on their way to faraway destinations.”
（欧洲航天局(ESA)的一名研究人员认为，首次以人类为研究对象的冬眠研究可能在十年内
实现。这样的实验将使像科幻小说一样的长期太空任务成为可能，宇航员将在前往遥远目的
地的途中进入保护性睡眠数周或数月。）可推知，根据第一段，冬眠研究的主要目的是推进
载人航天探索。故选C项。
33．细节理解题。根据第二段中““It works very nicely, but the problem is that you have to apply the drug repeatedly to maintain the state, which could have damaging effects over the longer term.””（“效果很好，但问题是，你必须反复使用这种药物来维持这种状态，从长远来看，这可能会产生破坏性的影响。”）可知，冬眠实验的挑战是控制可能的副作用。故选D项
34. 细节理解题。根据第三段中“The hibernating astronaut would not only save the agency cost for water, food and oxygen. Astronauts would, most likely, wake up rather fit, without suffering many of the negative side effects of long-term bed rest or living in microgravity.”（冬眠的宇航员不仅可以节省机构在水、食物和氧气方面的成本。宇航员很可能醒来时身体相当健康，不会遭受长期卧床休息或生活在微重力环境中的许多负面影响。）可知，冬眠会给宇航员带来的好处是它可能有助于保持身体健康。故选A项。
35. 主旨大意题。根据最后一段中“These protective qualities make hibernation a possibility not just for spaceflight, but also for medicine. Just like astronauts in microgravity, patients in long-term bed rest waste away quickly. Slowing life processes to a minimum would provide what scientists call a “bridge”, a period of time that would allow physicians to look for solutions without racing against the clock.”（这些保护特性使得冬眠不仅可以用于太空飞行，也可以用于医学。就像宇航员在微重力环境下一样，长期卧床休息的病人很快就会消瘦。将生命过程减缓到最低限度将提供科学家所说的“桥梁”，这段时间将允许医生在不与时间赛跑的情况下寻找解决方案。）可知，最后一段主要讲的是冬眠在太空飞行之外的可能应用。故选B项。
七选五

Time magazine is an American news magazine, with editions covering most of the rest of the world. It is the world's biggest news magazine, with a readership of 20 million in North America and 25 million people around the world.

The entire magazine was aimed at men. When the magazine started in 1923，there was just US $ 86,.000 at the disposal of the editorial staff. By 1962, gross revenue was at Us $ 326 million. By 2003，the magazine was made up of a combination of reporting, photographs，graphics and analysis that was intended to make the news as clear and informative as possible. This is how the magazine stands now, under the managing editor.
There has been a number of special issues of Time magazine, most notably the annual issue which lists the 100 most influential people in the world. The same has been done for the list of the l00 best novels, 100 best movies and 100 best TV shows of all time.南宁二中 2023 年秋季学期高一年级 12 月月考英语

Asia is the birthplace of the world’s three ancient civilizations: ancient China, ancient India and Babylon. Each gave the world different architectural styles and global landmarks, such as the Great Wall of China, Taj Mahal of India, Angkor Wat of Cambodia and Burj Khalifa Tower of the United Arab Emirates. With the conclusion of the Conference on Dialogue of Asian Civilization, let’s take a look at the architecture of Asian civilizations.
The Great Wall of China
The Great Wall of China is an ancient defense project with the longest construction time and the largest workload put into a landmark, stretching out to a total length of more than 5,000 kilometers. Only when you have been to the Great Wall and witnessed its majesty can you truly say you have visited China.
Angkor Wat, Cambodia
The Angkor Wat in Cambodia is one of the largest religious monuments in the world, built on a site measuring 162.6 hectares. It was built by the Khmer King Suryavarman Ⅱ in the early 12th century in Yasodharapura (present-day Angkor), the capital of the Khmer Empire, as his state temple and eventual mausoleum (陵墓).
Taj Mahal, India
The Taj Mahal is an ivory-white marble mausoleum on the south bank of the river Yamuna in the Indian city of Agra. It was commissioned in 1632 by Mughalemperor Shah to house the tomb of his favorite wife, Mumtaz Mahal. The Taj Mahal was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1983 for being “the jewel of Muslim art in India and one of the universally admired masterpieces of the world’s heritage”.
Al-Khazneh, Jordan
Al-Khazneh, also known as the Treasury, is one of the most delicate temples in the ancient Arab Nabataean Kingdom city of Petra, Jordan. The 45-meter-high and 30-meter-wide building is a magnificent building with a pronounced Greek style. It is said to have been a place where pirates hid their treasure.
What is special about the Great Wall compared with the others in the article
It is the longest man-made project in the world.
It was listed in the UNESCO World Heritage Site.
It was used as a defense project in the ancient China.
It used to be used as a religious purpose in China.

Which of the landmarks has been affected by the Greek culture
A. The Great Wall. B. Angkor Wat. C. Taj Mahal. D. Al-Khazneh.
B
Life is like a roller coaster, and every point has ups and downs. People plan something, but luck and sometimes misfortunes lead them toward a different destination. However, passionate individuals are not scared of such uncertainties. They set goals, welcome challenges, overcome obstacles, and eventually achieve what satisfies them.
Those who stay committed to their broad goals and find satisfaction even in unplanned circumstances are truly victorious. One true example of such people comes from a woman passionate about spreading happiness and helping others. Nicole Thornes is a mother, a former police officer, and now serving society as a death doula(陪护师).
Nicole joined the police academy intending to be helpful to society. She believed that a police
officer has the opportunity to eliminate(消除) crime, bring justice, and create a better society for everyone. Although she became a mother during her studies and her responsibilities were increased due to children, she didn’t give up on her passion(激情). Nicole could have called off her studies, but her passion for serving society didn’t let her step down. With great efforts, she finally became a police officer and gave her contributions to law enforcement( 执 行 ) and the betterment of society. She was not only a police officer making full commitment to the society but also a mother who played her responsibilities in the best way possible.
Everything went according to her plans, but uncertainty called off her journey as a police officer. Nicole suffered from an injury in a mission that ended her career in the police force. But her dreams and passion did not let her stop. She became a death doula to continue her dream. She chose this field after her grandfather’s death, when she couldn’t bear the pain of losing him. Being a death doula, she is now providing comfort to the dying and their families during difficult times. She aims to spread prosperity in people’s lives and help them overcome all the obstacles she faced throughout her life.
What is the first paragraph mainly about
Life is full of ups and downs.

Historians are often asked to examine the actions of our ancestors so we can repeat their wisdom and avoid their mistakes. But the present is just too different from the past. It is a waste of time to study Hannibal’s strategies in the Second Punic War so as to copy them in the Third World War. What worked well in cavalry battles will not necessarily be beneficial in cyber(网络) war. Studying history aims to loosen (松开) the hold of the past.
A young couple building a new home may ask the architect for a nice lawn (草坪) in the
front yard. Why a lawn “Because lawns are beautiful,” the couple might explain. But why do they think so
The idea of growing a lawn at the entrance to private houses and public buildings was born in the castles of French and English aristocrats( 贵 族 ) in the late Middle Ages. Well-kept lawns demanded land and a lot of work. In exchange, they produced nothing of value. The neat grass at the entrance to castles was a social position symbol nobody could pretend to have. Later the new parliaments, supreme courts, presidential residences increasingly showed their power in row upon row of neat green grass. Humans came to identify lawns with political power, social position and economic wealth.
When you now come to plan your dream house, you might think twice about having a lawn in the front yard. You are of course still free to do it. But you are also free to shake off the cultural
cargo given to you by the upper class. This is the best reason to learn history: not in order to guess the future, but to free yourself of the past and imagine different lives. Of course this is not total freedom — we cannot avoid being shaped by the past. But some freedom is better than none.
Why does the author mention Hannibal and cavalry battles in paragraph 1
To illustrate why future cyber war is difficult.
To highlight how important historical warfare is.
To show that past experience may not suit the present.
To explain what strategies historical figures developed.
What does the author believe is the real reason for growing a lawn
Its connection with power and wealth.
Its high maintenance requirements.
Its origin from European castles.
Its outstanding natural beauty.
What do the underlined words “cultural cargo” in the last paragraph refer to
A. Cultural mistakes. B. Cultural standards.
C. Historical buildings. D. Historical knowledge.
According to the author, studying history is to .
A. guess events in the future B. repeat wise decisions
C. understand cultural changes D. reduce the control from the past
D
The first hibernation (冬眠) studies with human subjects could be workable within a decade, a European Space Agency (ESA) researcher thinks. Such experiments would make it possible for a science-fiction-like approach to long-time space missions that would see astronauts(宇航员) placed into protective sleep for weeks or months on their way to faraway destinations.
Experiments have shown that it’s possible to cause hibernation in otherwise non-hibernating animals, such as rats, and bring them safely back to life a few days later. “The rats receive a drug, a neurotransmitter substance ( 神经递质), and are brought into a dark space with reduced temperature,” Jurgen Bereiter-Hahn, a member of ESA’s hibernation research group said. “It works very nicely, but the problem is that you have to apply the drug repeatedly to maintain(维持) the state, which could have damaging effects over the longer term.”
The hibernating astronaut would not only save the agency cost for water, food and oxygen. Astronauts would, most likely, wake up rather fit, without suffering many of the negative side effects of long-term bed rest or living in microgravity( 微 重 力 ). In fact, studies show that the slowed down cells of a hibernating body don’t get damaged by radiation (辐射). Besides, research in animals suggests that bodies of hibernating astronauts might lose much less bone and muscle mass than the bodies of those awake in microgravity. Upon arrival, these hibernators would thus be fit and ready to start challenging exploration almost straight away after regaining awareness.
These protective qualities make hibernation a possibility not just for spaceflight, but also for medicine. Just like astronauts in microgravity, patients in long-term bed rest waste away quickly. Slowing life processes to a minimum would provide what scientists call a “bridge”, a period of time that would allow physicians to look for solutions without racing against the clock. Although most current hibernation research is funded by space agencies, scientists think that the first human to be put into this state of hibernation will most likely be an ICU patient. Once the first human survives and benefits from hibernation, things will likely start moving forward much faster.
According to paragraph 1, what do the hibernation studies mainly aim to do
A. Improve sleep quality in space. B. Investigate hibernation mystery.
C. Promote manned space exploration. D. Enrich science fiction writing methods.
What is a challenge in the hibernation experiments
A. Ensuring proper lighting. B. Bringing animals back to life.
C. Maintaining low temperature. D. Controlling possible side effects.
What advantage might hibernation bring to astronauts
A. It might help to keep physical fitness. B. It might increase long-term bed rest.
C. It might decrease radiation contact. D. It might raise mental awareness.
What is the last paragraph mainly about
The role of physicians in monitoring hibernating patients.
The possible application of hibernation beyond spaceflight.
The importance for increasing funds for hibernation research.
The need of human experiments in advancing hibernation studies.

Joyce is in the fourth grade and he joined the noisy children of his class as usual. “Children! Silence!” Mangat Madam suddenly entered the class. She announced next week would be math week. “I’d like each of you to work on a project. You could do it individually or in a group.” she instructed. “The topic for the project needs approving tomorrow and it has to be displayed at the math week exhibition. The best project will be awarded and there is also a surprise gift from my side,” she added.
Joyce, who is extremely good at math, sat in the corner seat of the first bench with Karan, an average. Karan asked Joyce if they could work on the math project together. Joyce replied in a prideful tone, “Ha-ha you want to join me. I think I will do the project on my own.” Joyce wanted to get awarded and the surprise gift all for himself from Mangat Madam.
After deep consideration, Joyce decided to work on a math magic quiz on the circuit board. The next day in school, Mangat Madam arrived in the classroom and all the children submitted their topics for math exhibition. They all chose to work in a group except Joyce. In the following days, Joyce gathered all the materials for the project such as wires, bulbs (灯泡), a switch and a thin plywood board (胶合板). He worked out a few mathematical basic operations to be fixed on the board so that when the wire of the circuit touched the right answer, the bulb glowed. Joyce
completed the project and was happy with the result.
The evening before the exhibition, while packing his school bags, Joyce again checked the project to see if it was working fine. Alas! All the lights that were to glow did not seem to light at all. Without finding the reason, Joyce was tensed. However, he decided to take the same project to the school as he couldn’t change the topic at the last minute.
