experience.

Many people cannot live without modern technology products， especially their
smart phones.They use devices to stay in contact with family and friends while
driving.The most common method of communication is by sending written
messages，a custom known as texting.
A new study suggests that more than half of U.S.parents believe texting while
driving a car or other vehicles is unsafe.Yet most of those questioned said they do it
anyway.The finding was reported earlier this month in a scientific
publication.Researchers questioned 435 parents from across the United States.Regan
Bergmark，who led the survey，said that many people believe texting while driving is
unsafe but have also likely done it.In fact，the survey found that 52 percent of millennial
（千禧年的）parents said they thought it was "never" safe to text and drive.The same
goes for 58 percent of older parents.But almost two﹣thirds of parents reported reading
texts while driving，and more than half of them have also written texts.Millennial parents
were more likely to use email while driving and drive faster than the speed limit.
"The problem with smartphones is that they have become an unavoidable part of
daily life for most people，" Regan said."Many people are expected to be reachable by
phone or email immediately ， to be reachable for their children or work.Being a
responsible adult therefore often means always being reachable--yet we also know that
while driving.Being reachable carries with it the risk of a crash. "
In general，it is never safe to use a smartphone while driving.There are a number of
APPs that can help to limit distracted（分心的）driving by disabling phone features，
when the vehicle is in motion.The simplest thing to do is put the phone out of sight and
out of reach to reduce the temptation（诱惑）to drive distractedly.
24. What is the main problem described in Paragraph 2？
A. People use smartphones to keep in touch with others.
B. People tend to drive faster than the speed limit.
C. People tend to write text messages rather than use email.
D. People use smartphones while driving despite the danger.
25. What can we infer from Regan's words？
A. People in modern society can't live without smartphones.

26. In the last paragraph，the author means to.

B. provide some advice for the readers
C. add some background information

My 88-year-old grandfather and I are both starting 2022 as new college graduates.
He was unable to continue school because he got married and started a family in the
1950s. Over the next few decades, he managed to balance his roles as a husband, a
father of five, working at a local bank and taking a college class here and there.
Our higher education journey together at Palo Alto College began in 2016. I had
just graduated from high school then and my grandfather, 82, was determined to take
classes to make his lifelong dream of earning his bachelor’s degree become a reality. In
2017, we were both admitted into the University of Texas at San Antonio. I majored in
engineering while my grandfather majored in literature. We would have lunch together
and work silently side-by-side in the library. There were also many times when I drove
him to school in my car. That was really special because I could always show off him and
shout out my grandpa was here.
When COVID-19 broke out suddenly, my grandfather asked for leave from school. I
often assisted him with his schoolwork online. Over the past year, his health has
continued to decline and he now has difficulty speaking. As graduation day approached
in December, my family and I persuaded university officials to approve of my
grandfather having a degree of recognition. We had the expectation that he could have
that memory before his death.
My grandfather was worried he would steal the show from my graduation moment
when I told him we were graduating together. I told him this is our moment and that I
want to share it with him. I’m so grateful and proud that I was able to have this moment
with him. Applause run through the hall when my grandfather was awarded to his
bachelor’s degree at the commencement（毕业典礼）.
I appreciate my grandfather’s lifelong passion of learning and his strong wills.
28. What can we know about the author’s grandfather
A. He was unable to continue his study because of his family.
B. In 2016, he was admitted into the University of Texas.
C. He was asked to leave from school because of COVID-19.
D. He was unwilling to present himself for the graduation day.
29. In paragraph 2, why did the author shout out his grandpa was there
A. Because they shared the same major.
B. Because he felt proud of his grandfather.
C. Because the teacher was looking for his grandfather.
D. Because he learnt to drive his grandfather to school.
30. What can be inferred about the author’s grandfather according to the underlined
sentence
2023 年下学期高二期末质量监测试题 英 语 第 4版 共 8 版
{#{QQABQQSUggCgQgAAAAgCUwGKCgKQkBGCCKoOQAAEoAAACANABAA=}#}
A. He cared about his family very much.
B. He didn’t attend the graduation ceremony.
C. He was afraid of attending the commencement.
D. He would steal something from the graduation moment.
31. What can we learn from the grandfather’s story
A. Hard work pays off. B. Time is money.
C. It’s never too late to learn. D. Education is the key to success
D
In October, 2019, Beijing Daily warned the youth that they shouldn't let Internet
slang（俚语）deepen the generation gap（代沟），after People Daily started a discussion
on Chinese microblog Weibo on how to "explain" the youth's Internet slang terms to
parents. The post got 40,000 likes. People were commenting that they couldn't keep up
with the rapidly developing Internet lingo（术语）in China.
People also fear that Chinese Internet slang will negatively influence broader
linguistic（语言的） trends of Mandarin Chinese, in particular, the gradual taking over
of pinyin, the romanization of traditional Chinese characters using the Western alphabet.
As pinyin gets widely used when people text or write on mobile phones or computers,
while less and less people write characters by hand, people gradually forget how to write
them, which is called "character amnesia" in China.
2019’s latest slang terms add a further simplification: the use of pinyin acronyms.
"Awsl" in pinyin, for instance, means Ah, wo si le（Oh, I'm gonna die）, and is used if
something is too cute or adorable. "Nsdd" stands for ni shuo de dui （you're right）.
Certainly, as an age-old written language, Chinese has been evolving and
developing over the years. But the Chinese Internet lingo is unlikely to replace the
existing use of Mandarin Chinese, but will rather be enriching it by adding another
layer.
Acronyms aren't new. They have appeared with the limited space available in
early-generation cell phone messaging. Some of them have become a part of the English
language, such as BTW（by the way） and LOL（laugh out loud）, while others had a
rather short lifetime. That's likely to be what's going to happen with China's Internet
slang terms. Some are going to be old in a few weeks, while others might make it into
mainstream use, and as they do, young net users are coming up with new slang words to
differentiate themselves.
In China, using Internet slang means belonging to a certain generation that likes to
watch the same talk shows, play the same games, etc., and therefore, creates unity. Older
generations don't have to feel left out, and certainly don't have to fear a degradation（没
落）of the Chinese language. While language development is unavoidable, Internet slang
is not going to let 6,000 years of Chinese written language completely change overnight.
32. The public are worried about Chinese Internet slang abuse because
A. It's used by children to keep secrets from parents.
B. It can cause confusion even among young people.
C. It was invented in response to the limited messaging space.
D. It will rarely have a positive effect on linguistic trends of Chinese.
33. How do Chinese Internet slang terms affect the Chinese language
A. They add variety to the language.
B. They are replacing its traditional vocabulary.
C. They make the language more global.
D. They only have temporary effects on Chinese.
34. By using Internet slang in China, people may get.
A. a sense of purpose B. a sense of group identity
2023 年下学期高二期末质量监测试题 英 语 第 5版 共 8 版
{#{QQABQQSUggCgQgAAAAgCUwGKCgKQkBGCCKoOQAAEoAAACANABAA=}#}
C. a sense of cultural pride D. a sense of safety
35. Which could be the best title for the passage
A. Is Media Helping Older Generation Understand Internet Slang
B. Is Chinese Language Too Powerful to Be Largely Affected
C. Is Mandarin Chinese Useful to Bridge the Generation Gap
D. Is Internet Slang Deepening the Generation Gap, Ruining Chinese

Best Way to Lose Weight – Dieting Tips
How do you eat right to lose weight fast You'll discover there are a great number of
weight loss diets which promise to help you drop the pounds fast. 36
Many weight loss diets are aimed at losing weight fast, but aren't necessarily healthy
and won't create a long-term change for the better. 37 That means you'll
choose a diet which doesn't cut out any necessary nutrients（营养物）. Most diets
suggest that you stop eating fat or carbs（含碳水化合物的食物）. 38 You'll
need to make clear of your own body type before making a diet plan. You might also
need to try different ways before finding the best way.
If you just need to shake a few pounds off, your plan won't be the same as one to
lose weight in the long term. The best short-term weight loss plan will be stronger than
the best long-term weight loss plan, but it shouldn't get rid of necessary nutrition.
39 Your body will go into“starvation mode”and your metabolism（新陈代谢）will
slow down. As a result your body will keep more weight.
40 Spread out your meals evenly throughout the day. Any larger meals
should be eaten earlier in the day. That gives your body more time and opportunity to
burn calories. If you eat a lot before bed, those calories won't burn but become fat.
A. In fact many people feel it hard to lose weight.
B. Once you start your plan, you shouldn’t stop.
C. But do they really work
D. If you try to make yourself feel hungry, you won't achieve long-term results.
E. The best way to lose weight should be useful in the long term.
F. While this may help some people, there is no plan that is perfect for all.
G. Besides improving your metabolism, you also should pay attention to when you eat.

For as long as I could remember, I had wanted to travel into the Amazon jungle.
During the last summer break at university, I decided to travel there. I didn’t have
much money. So I found the least expensive flight to Lima, Peru. Once there, I planned
on traveling to the town of La Merced. To get there, however, I had to take a taxi for the
next fourteen hours.
By the time I reached La Merced, I found a hotel and asked the man at the front
desk if there were any travel routes into the jungle. His simple answer was“no”. In fact,
there was no way to go farther into the jungle except by hiring a boat to travel down the
Amazon. However, I found that an impossible choice.
At that point, I decided to go out and get something to eat. I had walked less than a
minute from the hotel when a rainstorm swept across the town. I raced ahead to the
closest restaurant to get out of the rain.
I took a table by myself and ordered a meal. I was very tired. I was also feeling sorry
for myself. I had flown down to Peru and then taken a fourteen-hour journey in a taxi
only to discover there was no way to get into the jungle.
Then, I saw an old man. He headed over to my table. “Hi, my name’s Fritz,” he
said in English. With a smile, I introduced myself and we talked for half an hour. I told
him my story. He could see I was tired and unhappy, and his eyes softened as he
listened.
“Come with me and stay with me and my wife Helga at our home in the jungle. We
have a coffee plantation（种植园）there. You can stay as long as you’d like. At six o’
clock tomorrow morning, I’ll pick you up at the hotel and take you on a trip into the
jungle,” Fritz said.
“Thank you very much,” I said. “Six o’clock tomorrow morning.”
Honestly, I didn’t expect he would appear.

At 6:00 the next morning, I heard a car honking (呜喇叭) outside my hotel. I looked out and found Fritz sitting in a truck with a big smile. I hopped into his truck, and we were off. Within minutes, we were out of La Merced and into the jungle. The road quickly became a rough dirt road. Branches swept over the windows and frightened birds took flight as we drove through forests. After a two-hour adventure, we emerged into a clearing with a wooden house and a large vegetable garden.
For the next five days I was treated as a special guest in his home. Fritz’s wife Helga prepared meals for us. Fritz was more than anxious to show me around his coffee plantation. Their warmth and generosity were imprinted on my heart. When it came time to leave, Fritz drove me back to La Merced. As I said goodbye, I felt a wave of sadness wash over me. I realized I’d probably never see them again. I’d never forget the kindness of Fritz and Helga, and the amazing days I spent in their home.

W: Yeah. Apple trees take four to five years to produce their first fruit.
M: How many years have you spent on the farm, Rose

Many people know about Lake Baikal from textbooks or by listening to Chinese singer Li Jian’s hit song, Lake Baikal. But in recent years, the world’s deepest freshwater lake has been paid much attention to because of an extreme sport. Each March since 2005, about 150 people from around the world sign up for the Baikal Ice Marathon. They come to explore the lake’s extraordinary beauty and challenge themselves in unpredictable conditions. The 41.84-kilometer journey starts on the lake’s eastern shore. In March, the ice is a meter thick and very hard. Runners cross this frozen surface, finishing on the western side of the lake. Known as the “blue eye of Siberia”, the lake has clear water. Seen from above, a runner on the ice looks as if he or she was jogging through space. The landscape might be beautiful but it is a severe test. However, runners say the cold climate is what draws them. They want to challenge themselves.
When runners start their marathon, they don’t have cars around them and they don’t have noise around. They are alone on Baikal. All they need to do is defeat themselves.
