There had been a shooting among a group of children in the 7th Ward of New Orleans, only a few miles from Allen's home, and a nine-year-old boy named Devante Bryant had been killed. Allen was horrified and heartbroken. He thought of his own nine-year-old son.Originally from the city's rough Lower 9th Ward, Allen is one of the most celebrated jazz trumpeters (小号手) in a city. His band has released three albums, and he is a regular on local television and a street performer. After seeing the tragic news that morning, it didn't take long for Allen to hit on a possible way out. He had a few spare trumpets lying around. Maybe he could offer them to kids in exchange for their guns."What saved me and redirected my path was a trumpet, the music and culture of the city that it connected me with," Allen says. "It showed me that success, connections and differences can be managed through self-expression.""Just to see that they actually want to give up their guns, that's the cool part about it," says Allen, who has collected seven guns so far, a small but symbolically important start. But he doesn't stop with the exchange of gun for instrument. After the exchanges, Allen connects the children with local musicians who give them free virtual trumpet lessons. He also started a GoFundMe page to buy more instruments to give away. So far, he has collected over $45,000. More importantly, he has fostered hope for his city and young people looking for a better life."I just say, "Look, I come from where you come from, and I can show you the way that got me out,'" says Allen. "And music may not be the way for you, but it will at least open your mind to see what's out there. "24. What might be the reasons pushing Shammarr Allen to work out such a solution EXCEPT _______________.A. his nine-year-old boy                   B. his life experiencesC. his educational background             D. his spare trumpets25. Which of the following can best describe Shamarr Allen?A. Caring and helpful.B. Kind and famous.C. Curious and brave.D. Determined and honest.26. What is the purpose of this text?A. To introduce an admirable hero.B. To promote Shamarr Allen's new albums.C. To appeal to the government to control the guns.D. To inform the readers of a tragic shooting in New Orleans.27. Which can be a suitable title for the text?A. Hope Is at Your HandB. Music Is the Way OutC. The Trumpet Is His WeaponD. Shooting Is Under Control                                      CImagine a world without money. With no way to buy stuff, you might need to produce everything you need unless you could figure out how to exchange some of the things you made for other items.Economists like me believe that using money makes it much easier for everyone to specialize, focusing their work on a specific activity. As economists have known since David Ricardo's work in the 19th century, there are gains for everyone from exchanging goods and services-even when you end up paying someone who is less skilled than you.People have traded goods and services with one kind of money or another, whether it was trinkets, shells, seeds or cash for tens of thousands of years. People have always obtained things without money too, usually through barter. It involves exchanging something, such as a cookie, for something else-like a pencil.Bartering sounds convenient, but it's hard to pull off. Let's say you're a carpenter who makes chairs and you want an apple. You would probably find it impossible to buy one. Just imagine what a trouble it would be to drag the chairs you've made to the shopping mall in the hopes of cutting great deals through barter with the sellers.Paper money is far easier to carry. You might be able to sell a chair for $50. You could take that $50 bill to a supermarket, buy two pounds of apples for $5 and keep the $45 in change.Nowadays, of course, many people pay for things without cash or coins. Instead, they use credit cards or make online purchases. Others simply wave a smartwatch at a designated device. Others use bitcoins and other cryptocurrencies. But all of these are just different forms of money that don't require paper.No matter what form it takes, money ultimately helps make the trading of goods and services go more smoothly for everyone involved.28. What does the underlined phrase "pull off" in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A.Change.         B.Achieve.      C. Cease.     D. Intervene.29. Which of the following statement is TRUE according to the text?A. Money hasn't been used until thousands of years ago.B. People have to make all their necessities if there's no money.C. Money comes in more forms in modern times than in ancient times.D. People benefit from exchanging goods and services even with someone less skilled.30. What can be inferred from this text?A. Paper money will ultimately disappear in the future.B. Barter is the only way to get things if there's no money.C. Money makes the society more productive and convenient.D. Exchanging something for something else is popular nowadays.31. Where can this text come from?A. A news report.B. A financial magazineC. A science fiction.D. A research paper.DSolar panels that grow spinach(菠菜) by pulling in steam from the air could offer a low-cost strategy to produce crops in the desert, a new study says. A new system, called WEC2P, consists of solar panels coated with hydrogel (水凝胶) which suck in steam from the environment. The hydrogel-lined solar panels are mounted on top of a large metal box that turns steam from the air into liquid water for growing crops.Over two weeks of hot weather last summer, researchers conducted a plant-growing experiment by using WEC2P in Saudi Arabia. They used the water only collected from air to irrigate 60 water spinach seeds planted in a plastic plant-growing box. Over the course of the experiment, the solar panel, with a size similar to the top of a student desk, also generated a total of 1,519 watt-hours of electricity. Spinach seeds sprouted and grew normally to seven inches (18cm)with a crop survival rate of 95 percent.According to the researchers, the technology offers a "low-cost strategy" to improve food and water security. It's described as "low cost" because the hydrogels use the material as cheap as $1 per kilogram, although the combined cost of building and adopting such a system would be much more. As well as powering the growth of crops, harvesting steam from the air can also provide clean drinking water."Our goal is to create a system of clean energy, water, and food production, especially the water-creation part in our design," said Wang, "Our design makes water out of air using solar energy that would have been wasted and is suitable for small farms in remote places like deserts and oceanic islands."One potential issue with the system is that it relies on high levels of humidity (湿度) -when there's a lot of steam in the surrounding air -and may not be quite as effective in very dry areas. The performance and furthermore the cost of the system will have to be further and significantly improved before it can be made economically attractive.32. What can we learn about the researchers' spinach planting last summer?A. It was fruitless.               B. It was successful.C. It was perfect.                D. It was ineffective.33. Why is the technology described as "low cost'"?A. Because it's easy to collect steam from the air.B. Because of the low cost of building the system.C. Because of the wide application of the system.D. Because the material used in hydrogels is inexpensive.34. What do researchers plan to do next?A. They will harvest the steam from the air.B. They will stay away from very dry areas.C. They will reduce dependence on humidity.D. They will cut down the cost of the system.35. What does the text mainly talk about?A. Solar panels grow crops in the desert by pulling in steam.B. Solar panels produce energy in the desert by taking in sunlight.C. Hydrogels turn vapour from the air into water for growing crops.D. Hydrogels harvest steam from the air to provide clean drinking water.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。I'm a hiker- "born to hike," as my husband likes to joke.

Teams from other schools were already suited and warming up by the pool or in the water. The bleachers (露天看台) were full."I don't think I can do this." I said, twisting the belt of my bag."You'll be fine, and I will be right here watching." Mom said, dropping an arm around my shoulder and squeezing.I bit my lip and looked out over the other swimmers."You sure?"Mom leaned forward. "Remember, it's just you. Don't worry about any of the other swimmers. Just swim your race.""OK."The warmups and preparations were over before I knew it, and the first round of swimmers were up on the blocks.I felt sick. I watched my competitors swim, and they looked so strong and skillful in the water. The events screamed by, one after the other. My knees shook as each event clicked closer to mine. The knots in my stomach twisted and coiled like a bag of ropes.Then the one-hundred breaststroke (蛙泳) was announced.    Nerves choked my throat.    “Just swim your race. Don't think about the other swimmers." I repeated it over and over in my mind.I bent forward on my block in line with the rest of the swimmers, waiting. My body tensed up like a spring. My heart pounded in my ears.The buzzer (蜂鸣器) sounded. I sprang forward, diving into the water and kicking like a dolphin. Then my head broke free of the water. Just count strokes.I kept my eyes focused on the black line in front of me, ignoring the splashes of movement on either side. Pull. Breathe. Kick. I hit the end of the pool and then my first turn came. I took a deep a breath and turned over, pushing hard against the wall and bursting back the way I came.注意：1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右：2.续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。Paragraph 1Then everything changed.Paragraph 2I was the last one to finish the race.   丽水市2022学年第一学期普通高中教学质量监控高二英语参考答案一、听力（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）1-5CBACB 6-10CABAB 11-15 BCBAC16-20CBACA二、阅读理解（共两节，满分50分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分）21-23ACD24-27CAAC 28-31BDCB32-35 BDDA第二节（共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）36-40EDAFC三、语言运用（共两节，满分30分）第一节完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分）41-45 DABDC 46-50 BABDC 51-55AABCD第二节（共10小题：每小题1.5分，满分15分）56.what;   57.an;  58. are mistyped; 59. existence;   60. wrongly;61. waiting; 62.at;   63.takes;   64.repeated;   65.activities四、写作（共两节，满分40分）第一节应用文写作（满分15分）参考范文：Last week, an impressive activity themed on My Favorite Scientist was successfully launched on our campus, which exceedingly brightened up students' school days.Aimed at stimulating students' interest in science, a speech contest was held on Wednesday night followed by an enlightening lecture on Thursday.
