Anna Sacks was not living the life she wanted. Sure, she was happy. But she wanted to do something that felt important. Some people seeking meaning might read a self-help book or perhaps volunteer a few hours a week. Sacks packed up her life and moved to Connecticut to participate in Adamah a farming program that focuses on sustainable living and growing sustainable food. When she returned to New York, her life was with a new purpose and many new skills to make her dreams a reality. “One of the things that really stuck with me from Adamah was how little waste they produced and how they handled the waste they did have, primarily through composting(堆肥)” she says. The Adamah program opened Sacks’ eves to the damage consumer culture is doing on a local, national, and global level, and the need to find solutions. So in 2017 she began what she calls “trash walking”. 3 / 9 During tours around her community, Sacks picks through garbage to look for reusable items. Soon, her “trash walking” expanded to include corporate trash along with residential trash. Surprisingly, she discovered a wide range of really great stuff—like clothing, decorations, and food—all of which she documents on TikTok. Under the name The Trash Walker, Sacks quickly gained popularity for her videos that highlight the problems with consumerism. “The root issue is overproduction, which leads to overconsumption, which leads to a large amount of waste,” she says. The fact is, companies often choose to trash items rather than give them away to people who might need them. A big reason for this waste is the way our current tax laws are structured, Sacks says. Sellers who destroy goods can claim the cost as a loss on their taxes and be refunded. If they give away goods, they can claim only a small amount as a charitable reduction on their taxes. Sacks’ main focus is simply getting people to pay attention to how many unnecessary things they buy and then throw away. “Once you become aware of the way you consume, you can see ways you improve,” she says. 24. Why did Anna Sacks leave New York? A. To learn how to grow food. B. To pursue a more meaningful life. C. To realize her dream as a volunteer. D. To accept the invitation from a program. 25. What impressed Anna Sacks most about the Adamah program? A. The significance of trash walking. B. The hard truth of consumer culture. C. The sustainable food people produced. D. The way people there dealt with the waste. 26. What makes companies prefer to throw out goods as trash? A. The tax refund. B. The tax reduction. C. The overproduction. D. The poor quality of goods. 27. What can we learn from Anna Sacks’ story? A. Consumer culture accounts for wasting. B. Corporate trash outweighs residential trash. C. Turning to farming leads to sustainable living. D. Trash walking is the key to becoming wealthy. C In parts of Africa, people communicate with a wild bird-the greater honeyguide—to locate bee habitats and harvest honey. It's a rare example of cooperation between humans and wild animals, and a potential instance of cultural co-evolution. Brian Wood and Claire Spottiswoode were lead authors on a study showing how this valuable partnership is maintained and varies across cultures. “Our study demonstrates the bird's ability to learn distinct voiced signals, expanding possibilities for mutually beneficial cooperation with people,” Wood said. “Honeyguides seemingly know the landscape well, gathering knowledge about the location of bee nests and sharing with people who are eager for the bird's help,” Spottiswoode said. The honeyguides also benefit from locating the colonies: They eat the leftover honeycomb. Their study was done in cooperation with the Hadza in Tanzania and the Yao community of Mozambique. The prior work in both communities documented differences in how each culture attracts honeyguides. Among the Hadza, a honey-hunter announces a desire to partner with the bird by whistling. In Mozambique, Yao honey-hunters do so with a “Brr!” followed by a “hmm!” 4 / 9 Using mathematical models and audio playback experiments, the team studied these signals, their usefulness to people and their impacts on birds. They experimentally exposed honeyguides to the same prerecorded sounds, hoping to test whether honeyguides had learned to recognize and prefer the specialized signals local honey-hunters used or were naturally attracted to all such signals. The honeyguides in Tanzania were over three times more likely to cooperate when hearing the calls of local Hadza people than the calls of “foreign” Yao. Those in Mozambique were almost twice more likely to cooperate when hearing the local Yao call than the “foreign Hadza whistles. The study proposes that differences in honeyguide-attracting signals are not random, but make practical sense. While honey-hunting, both the Hadza and Yao come across mammals, but only the Hadza hunt them, using bows and arrows. The Hadza’s hunting might explain the less notable whistles they use. Filmed interviews show Hadza hunters explaining they can escape being detected by their prey because their whistles “sound like birds.” Contrarily, the signal the Yao use to communicate with the honeyguide can help scare off animals they find dangerous. 28.By cooperating with honey-hunting communities, honeyguides can ______. A. have access to more food B. nest near human culture C. locate bee habitats easier D. become familiar with the landscape 29. Why did the researchers use the same prerecorded signals? A. To study their mathematical models. B. To check if they are a natural preference. C. To investigate their usefulness to humans. D. To see if they increase birds' ability to find honey. 30. What can we learn from Spottiswoode and Wood's study? A. The human-bird relationship can change with new signals. B. The Yao community hunts animals while looking for bee nests. C. The honeyguides are more responsive to calls from the local people. D. The honeyguides are more responsive to calls from local people. 31. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. How mammals react to different signals. B. How hunting techniques are applied to prey. C. How whistles enable honeyguides to find targets. D. How signals are associated with hunting practice. D The Age of Information is bulging: if you try to download all the data available today, you’d need more than 180 million years to do so. But you are wrong to assume that all information would stimulate a boost of innovation to match the output of data Indeed. the last time we found ourselves in a period of significant innovation was over 120 years ago, called the Age of Insight. Innovations, big or small start with a new idea. Often. these ideas occur as a moment of insight—the result of a novel connection in our brains made between existing and new information. Studies show insights involve quiet signals deep in the brain. Anything that helps us notice quiet signals can increase the chance of insights. However it’s becoming more challenging to find those signals today, every moment filled with an endless supply of content. Besides, we also want to increase the quality of them to sort through big new ideas and find the really valuable ones that can be hard to measure. Launched in 2015, the Eureka Scale (尤里卡 量 表 )allows us to assess the strength of our insight experiences on a five-point scale, namely, 5 / 9 intense emotions, motivation, memory advantage, aftershocks, and following ideas. The Scale combines these five variables into a single value to define the importance of a new idea and has broad applications for measuring and improving individual and organizational performance. Even it can be used to measure the impact of different kinds of work environments and learning approaches on participants’ growth. The level-5 insight, involving the richest emotion, motivation, and lasting impact, holds the greatest significance. In order for organizations to benefit from another age of insight, it’s not enough to try to access more data or increase the number of insights we generate. Instead, it’s about making space for the biggest ideas to emerge from all the information. Using the Scale as a way to measure how important ideas are will enable better decision-making toward practical and competitive outcomes. If we’re to enter a new age of insight, we must make timely and necessary changes to design our environments for the best insight possible to surface. 32.What does the underlined word “bulging” in Paragraph 1 probably mean? A. Approaching. B. Exploding. C. Shifting. D. Updating. 33.According to the passage, which of the following cases can increase the chance of insights? A. By engaging in ongoing social media interactions. B. By relying on technology to receive regular notices C. By stepping away from computers between meetings. D. By participating in additional training and coaching sessions. 34. What can be inferred from the passage? A. The Eureka Scale controls the influence of our insights. B. One with a level-5 insight has minimal emotional responses. C. Both the quantity and quality of insights are essential to innovation. D.A breakthrough has been made in innovation due to a wealth of information. 35. What is the author’s attitude towards the current environment for innovations? A. Uncertain. B. Optimistic. C. Unconcerned. D. Dissatisfied. 第二节（共5 小题: 每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为 多余选项。 There are many reasons why some cats are bad-tempered. It’s commonly believed that their temperament can be influenced by the way they are born or raised. 36 According to veterinarian Dr Katrina Warren, the problem can generally be solved, but you’ll need to look for underlying issues. Changes in a cat's behaviour can often be explained by a health problem. Pain can cause cats to behave differently. It’s easy to mistake a problem as be havioural, which in fact is medical. Should you observe a significant change in your cat’s behaviour, then a visit to the vet is the best place to start. 37 Also hiding and avoiding being touched. Be sure to report all changes to your vet. There are many health problems that can be readily treated to ease symptoms and pain for your cat. It pays to remember that cats don’t like to share or queue. Sharing of ‘resources’ such as litter trays and food bowls can cause stress and anxiety for many cats. It's always a good idea to provide each cat with their own litter box, food, water bowls and bed. A lack of space to hide from or avoid other cats, competition for territory and lack of individual attention can also add to household friction. 38 Moving to a new house, the arrival of a new baby, new pets and other types of change can 6 / 9 seriously impact cat behaviour. Cats are creatures of habit and tend to be territorial. 39 Try to keep your cat’s environment as calm as possible and ensure there are places where they feel safe. 40 These are often cats that received limited socialisation with humans when they were kittens. These cats do best in a quiet household without children and need understanding and patience to help build their confidence. A. Some cats simply do not like being touched and handled. B. Watch out for changes in eating, drinking or litter-box habits. C. When your cat seems lonely, you can hold it gently in your arms. D. If so, offering the cat a high place to sit, such as a climbing tree, can be helpful. E. So a change in routine may cause them to react, including withdrawal or aggression. F. Don’t forget their incredible sense of smell, which is a useful tool of communication. G. In fact, even the sweetest cats can suddenly become bad-tempered and behave out of character. 第三部分: 语言运用 (共两节, 满分 30分) 第一节 (共 15 小题: 每小题1 分，满分 15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选 项。 Gardening changed how I see myself as a disabled woman.

Jeremy Savage, aged 17, and Ian Marshall, aged 16, both from Canada, had their friendship tested to the limit on a recent trip to the Rocky Mountains 8 / 9 with their parents. On Saturday morning, the two boys decided to climb Cathedral Mountain by themselves while their parents relaxed at the campsite. After three hours, they reached the top and enjoyed the beautiful view from the mountaintop. However, trouble began when they started the climb down. On one very dangerous part of the mountain, Ian fell three meters off the side of the path. Jeremy climbed down to where Ian was and found him badly injured and not able to move then. Jeremy had to decide what to do. He needed help but he did not want to leave his friend. He cleaned the dirt and blood from Ian’s face and hands, and then tried to help him to stand up, but Ian’s right leg was hurting too much. With incredible calmness sand his former experience in the mountain, Jeremy then gave Ian his food and water and let him lie on his jacket. They had to wait and hoe that help would come. While they waited for help, Jeremy used his jacket and an extra shirt to keep Ian warm and they rested together. Sensing his friend’s pain and anxiety, Jermy greatly comforted him and gave him constant encouragement in a determined tone. Meanwhile. as darkness started to fall, their parents back at the campsite became very worried that the boys had not returned. Despite tears welling up in the eyes, the mothers frantically prayed to God for their sons’ safety. They got in touch with park workers and began searching for the boys. Soon more than 20 people were looking for them on Cathedral Mountain. 注意: 1.续写词数应为 150 左右; 2.请按如下格式作答。 As the evening grew darker and the temperature dropped, Ian told Jeremy to leave him and go back to their parents. Finally, after four long and tiring hours’ climbing down, they came across their parents. 9 / 9 20232024 学年第二学期初学业质量监测答案 高三英语 参考答案 1-5 ABBCA 6-10 ABCAC 11-15 BCCBA 16-20 CABBC 21-23 CDB 24-27 BDAA 28-31 ABCD 32-35 BCCD 36-40 GBDEA 41-45 CBCAD 46-50 BDCAC 51-55 ABBDD 56. countless 57. dates 58. to relieve 59.

Despite 63. has seen 64. varieties 65. included 应用文 My Understanding of Home Bing Xin once said, “I don’t know what ‘home’ is, but unhappiness and worries melt away once there.” For me, home is not just a physical space, but an emotional shelter. It is a place where we feel safe and loved, where our troubles seem to fade away. An example that illustrates this is when I recently faced a challenging situation at school. Feeling overwhelmed and uncertain, I returned home. The familiar sights instantly calmed me down. My parents helped me analyze the trouble rationally, even offering several proper solutions. Their loving words and hugs allowed me to gain clarity and perspective. I renewed confidence. In conclusion, home is not just a building or a place; it is a feeling of warmth, safety, and belonging. It is where we can be our true selves and find comfort in the company of our loved ones. 读后续写： As the evening grew darker and the temperature dropped, Ian told Jeremy to leave him and go back to their parents. But Jeremy still did not leave. He thought it was too dangerous for Ian to be alone on such a cold, windy night. However, with the surroundings from chilly to freezing, Jeremy decided that the only way to help his friend was to carry him down the mountain. So, they started the long climb back to the campsite. Sometimes Jeremy carried Ian on his back. Sometimes he carried him in his arms. Finally, after four long and tiring hours’ climbing down, they came across their parents. Upon seeing the two boys, their parents dashed to wrap them in their arms. All the fear, cold and even pain were seemingly driven away by the reunion with their parents. Jeremy and Ian burst into tears, sobbing out what had happened in this adventure. On the way to the hospital, Ian held on tight to Jeremy’s hand, saying, “I’ll always remember what you did for me. You saved my life.” Jeremy winked at him with a smiling face, “That’s the greatest thing that a person can do for his friend.” 录音原文： Text 1 M: My daughter Amy is going to try skydiving with friends this weekend.
