But although she took part in school and college plays, she never thought it could lead to a career. Instead, she studied business at university, working for the Land Register of Scotland until she retired in 2012. Her newly free time reignited (重新，点燃) a decades-old spark. “I still wanted to do something with my brain so I went back to university to study theatre and performance,” says Lucy. That year, she took part in a folk drama workshop and discovered mumming, an ancient masked form, in which male actors travel through villages, performing simple plays, often in exchange for food or shelter. “It’s a simpler story than conventional plays. It has one central conflict rather than slow character development. It’s rooted in history and involves more improvisation (即席创作) because the play is always tailored to a local audience,” says Lucy. Interest grew and Lucy set up her group — the Meadows Mummers — as a charity, to attract wider support and donations. Its first performance was in 2015, at the Meadows festival in Edinburgh. Things snowballed from there. As well as touring central Scotland, the group went to the International Mumming Symposium and Unconvention in Gloucestershire in 2016, and learned more about the history of folk drama. More recently, life circumstances have made performing difficult. “I’ve had health problems.” She says that, at times, she has considered giving up, but gets too much joy from doing it to stop. “We’ve just done one performance this year but I’m really excited that we’re getting ready for more festivals next year.” The drive to keep going is inspired by an experience more than 30 years ago. “I was in a national park in Yugoslavia when I saw a woman staring attentively at this green river,” she says. “She told me she was going blind and wanted the river to be the last beautiful thing she ever saw.” Whenever doubt creeps in (不知不觉产生), Lucy recalls that encounter and feels forced to continue grasping life with both hands. “Just because you’ve reached 60, it doesn’t mean the drawbridge has been pulled up,” says Lucy. 4. Why did Lucy study theatre and performance after retirement? A. To further her study. B. To please her parents. C. To recollect her interest. D. To find a better job. 5. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about in terms of mumming? A. Its history. B. Its characteristics. C. Its importance. D. Its prospect. 6. What does the underlined word “snowballed” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Stuck. B. Collapsed. C. Developed. D. Froze. 7. What does Lucy intend to tell us by the encounter? A. We should try to live in the moment. B. Roman was not built in a day. C. Where there’s a will, there is a way. D. Art is long, life is short. C Amelia, a ninth-grade student at Carson Middle School, wanted to help her grandmother who struggled to open bottle caps. She found a solution in her engineering class, where students were tasked with adapting existing products to make daily life easier for people with difficulties. Amelia’s creativity kicked in as she researched existing bottle-opening devices. “The shape and size of a cellphone are familiar,” she said. To create a better bottle opener, Amelia used a piece of wood. It was shaped like a cellphone. Next, she put three holes in the wood. The holes were in different sizes so that they could match common bottle cap sizes. Each hole also had a layer of dried hot glue, providing a strong hold for the bottle caps. With a simple twisting motion, her grandmother could open bottles without assistance. While addressing challenges those with learning disabilities, movement challenges and other issues face, students like Amelia used more than their math, physics, and tool skills. They also learned about empathy (共情). “Empathy is looking at problems from another person’s point of view,” Amelia’s teacher, Mark Bolt, said. “It’s an important part of engineering. Engineers need to put themselves in their product users’ shoes to build effective solutions. It was empathy, while watching friends and family deal with daily tasks, that pushed other students’ projects.” Student Michael noticed how reading disorder made it difficult for his friends to follow along on pages full of text. Their brains tend to confuse the order of numbers, letters, and other images. So Michael created a small adjustable window-blind-style device. “My friend could separate small sections of text while reading,” he said. In the process, students tried different versions of their products to make the best one to show the class. Rather than having step-by-step directions for the projects. Bolt preferred to leave students’ creative paths open. “If we want to do better, we have to have a chance to fail,” he said. 8. What might be a solution to Amelia’s engineering class task? A. To invent new products. B. To better a hearing aid. C. To raise money for the disabled. D. To teach lower-grade students engineering. 9. Why are the three holes’ sizes different in Amelia’s bottle opener? A. To make the opener easier to hold. B. To make the most of space. C. To beautify the bottle opener. D. To ensure a wider use. 10. What should engineers do while designing products according to Mark Bolt? A. Ask for the users’ advice. B. Improve their work effectiveness. C. Be considerate toward their users. D. Focus more on the people around them. 11. How does Michael’s device work? A. By putting small sections together. B. By adding a dictionary to the text. C. By putting words in different colors. D. By focusing users’ attention on specific reading areas. D In the second half of the 18th century, a British doctor named Edward Jenner gave his gardener’s son cowpox (牛痘) and then deliberately infected him with smallpox (天花) to test his assumption that people who were frequently exposed to cowpox, a similar but less severe virus, would avoid catching smallpox. It worked and cowpox as the vaccine (疫苗) was highly effective. “Vaccination”, from the Latin word for cow, soon became commonplace. Challenge trials are forms of research where, rather than relying on data from natural infections, we intentionally expose someone to a disease in order to test the effectiveness of a vaccine or treatment. Things have changed a lot since Jenner’s time, of course, when it was not uncommon for doctors to conduct this kind of research. Even so, there’s a continuous sense that there’s something immoral about making someone ill on purpose. But this shouldn’t blind us to the extraordinary power of challenge trials. They could become increasingly important weapons in the medical research, in a situation where vaccine technology is advancing and the threat of diseases jumping from animals into human beings is increasing. Much has been done to reduce the risks of challenge trials. Like respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), researchers have involved adults who are at a low risk of severe illness. These acts have already cut down a massive range of vaccine candidates. But not all diseases are like these ones. We don’t always know the dangers volunteers might face; we don’t always have treatments ready. What then? We could, of course, just avoid these questions entirely, and rely on other types of research. But that doesn’t always work: sometimes, animal testing is tricky and uninformative, because the disease doesn’t develop in the same way as it would in humans. In contrast, challenge trials can be deeply informative within weeks, with far fewer volunteers. And the benefits can be surprisingly high. In order to make sure we are as protected as possible from current and future threats, we should try to get rid of the misbelief in challenge trials, making them a more familiar part of our tool kits. Perhaps the greatest reward of all would be to make sure participants’ efforts are worthwhile: by designing trials to be fair and effective and applying them when and where they might make a real difference. In short, by helping them to save thousands, if not millions of lives. 12. The author tells the story of Edward Jenner with the intention of ________. A. defining what are challenge trials. B. showing the origin of the word “vaccination”. C. emphasizing the importance of his vaccine. D. introducing the topic of challenge trials. 13. What can be inferred from the passage? A. The issues behind challenge trials are easy to solve. B. Despite the risks, challenge trials can benefit numerous lives. C. The dangers of challenge trials outweigh the benefits they bring. D. Challenge trials can prevent the development of vaccine technologies. 14. What does the author intend to tell us? A. A cautious attitude should be taken towards challenge trials. B. Challenge trials guarantee participants protection against threats. C People should be more open to challenge trials. D. The accuracy of challenge trials can be improved with more volunteers involved. 15. What can be the best title for the passage? A. Can challenge trials block medical progress? B. Should we use challenge trials to find cures? C. Can challenge trials put an end to infectious diseases? D. Should we replace animal testing with challenge trials? 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 In the journey of life, there’s an often ignored hero — labor. Yes, that’s right, good old-fashioned hard work. Whether it’s mowing lawns, babysitting, or washing dishes, the act of laboring not only fills pockets but also shapes characters and molds futures. Let’s face it, we live in a world where instant satisfaction is the norm (标准). But what if we told you that delaying that satisfaction and putting in some good, honest sweat can actually be beneficial? It’s true! ____16____ ____17____ Imagine a teenager tasked with mowing lawns for a summer job. Suddenly, they’re responsible for showing up on time, doing a thorough job, and managing their earnings. These are life skills that no classroom lecture can match. Moreover, labor breeds (培养) perseverance. ____18____ Instead of throwing in the towel, they persevere, learning from each setback and growing stronger in the process. This perseverance becomes a cornerstone (基石) for success in all aspects of life. But perhaps the most profound impact of labor is its ability to foster empathy and appreciation. ____19____ As teenagers serve meals to the less fortunate, they gain a newfound perspective on privilege and gratitude. Suddenly, that new smartphone doesn’t seem as important as lending a helping hand to those in need. In conclusion, labor isn’t just about earning a paycheck but it’s also about shaping character and building a foundation for success. So, the next time you see a teenager sweating it out on a hot summer day, remember — ____20____ A. Labour is significantly beneficial to health. B. Take, for instance, volunteering at a local soup kitchen. C. labor isn’t just about earning money and training skills. D. First, labor gradually acquires a sense of responsibility. E. Imagine a young adult facing rejection after rejection while job hunting. F. they’re not just mowing lawns, they’re paving their path to a brighter future. G. The process of laboring teaches invaluable lessons that textbooks simply can’t convey. 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。 On a sunny afternoon, Anthony Perry stepped off the train at Chicago’s 69th Street station.

I wasn’t even supposed to be working the evening shift, but had agreed to swap with a colleague who needed the night off. Among my many duties was to assist in the emergency room (ER) if our ER nurse needed help. Suddenly, my pager (寻呼机) echoed down the hallway that quiet evening. “I need your help now,” a nurse in ER said urgently. “We have an ambulance out on a little boy. Not many details, but it doesn’t sound good. He was found outside in a snow bank, and the first responders have started CPR.” My heart sank. It was thirty degrees below zero with windchill. The child didn’t have a chance. I entered the emergency room. The ambulance was just pulling up, and when the gurney (轮床) rolled into the ER it was met with dead silence. CPR was in progress. The blond boy lay lifeless and pale with little hands frozen so solid. Because of the circumstances, we were obligated to continue CPR until his core body temperature was raised. No one in the room seemed to hold any hope of bringing back this little boy. The next hour passed quickly as many ways were conducted to warm him up. I stood silently over him, tears running down my cheeks, as I prayed silently for him and his family. I couldn’t even help understanding the pain his parents were experiencing. He was the same age as my little boy, with the same beautiful blue eyes and blond hair. I thought of how much I loved my son and tried to remember the last time I told him I loved him so. What if he died tonight? Would he die knowing how much I loved him? I realized, watching a group of doctors and nurses desperately trying to do the impossible, that I hadn’t even hugged him before leaving for work. And I deeply regretted that now. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按照如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Then a miracle occurred. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Watching the scene, I made a promise to myself that night. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力答案：1—5 CAABB 6—10 BCABC 11—15 CBAAA 16—20 BBCAB 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024年邵阳市高三第三次联考 英语 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

Immediately, Lucy fell in love. But although she took part in school and college plays, she never thought it could lead to a career. Instead, she studied business at university, working for the Land Register of Scotland until she retired in 2012. Her newly free time reignited (重新，点燃) a decades-old spark. “I still wanted to do something with my brain so I went back to university to study theatre and performance,” says Lucy. That year, she took part in a folk drama workshop and discovered mumming, an ancient masked form, in which male actors travel through villages, performing simple plays, often in exchange for food or shelter. “It’s a simpler story than conventional plays. It has one central conflict rather than slow character development. It’s rooted in history and involves more improvisation (即席创作) because the play is always tailored to a local audience,” says Lucy. Interest grew and Lucy set up her group — the Meadows Mummers — as a charity, to attract wider support and donations. Its first performance was in 2015, at the Meadows festival in Edinburgh. Things snowballed from there. As well as touring central Scotland, the group went to the International Mumming Symposium and Unconvention in Gloucestershire in 2016, and learned more about the history of folk drama. More recently, life circumstances have made performing difficult. “I’ve had health problems.” She says that, at times, she has considered giving up, but gets too much joy from doing it to stop. “We’ve just done one performance this year but I’m really excited that we’re getting ready for more festivals next year.” The drive to keep going is inspired by an experience more than 30 years ago. “I was in a national park in Yugoslavia when I saw a woman staring attentively at this green river,” she says. “She told me she was going blind and wanted the river to be the last beautiful thing she ever saw.” Whenever doubt creeps in (不知不觉产生), Lucy recalls that encounter and feels forced to continue grasping life with both hands. “Just because you’ve reached 60, it doesn’t mean the drawbridge has been pulled up,” says Lucy. 4. Why did Lucy study theatre and performance after retirement? A. To further her study. B. To please her parents. C. To recollect her interest. D. To find a better job. 5. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about in terms of mumming? A. Its history. B. Its characteristics. C. Its importance. D. Its prospect. 6. What does the underlined word “snowballed” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Stuck. B. Collapsed. C. Developed. D. Froze. 7. What does Lucy intend to tell us by the encounter? A. We should try to live in the moment. B. Roman was not built in a day. C. Where there’s a will, there is a way. D. Art is long, life is short. 【答案】4. C 5. B 6. C 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Lucy退休后重拾以前的兴趣，参加了一个民间戏剧研讨会，随着兴趣的增长，Lucy成立了她的团体——梅多斯戏迷——作为一个慈善组织，以吸引更广泛的支持和捐赠。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Her newly free time reignited (重新点燃) a decades-old spark. ‘I still wanted to do something with my brain so I went back to university to study theatre and performance,’ says Lucy. (她最近的空闲时间重新点燃了几十年前的火花。“我仍然想用我的大脑做点什么，所以我回到大学学习戏剧和表演，”Lucy说)”可知，Lucy退休后学习戏剧和表演是为了重拾兴趣。故选C。 【5题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“That year, she took part in a folk drama workshop and discovered mumming, an ancient masked form, in which male actors travel through villages, performing simple plays, often in exchange for food or shelter. “It’s a simpler story than conventional plays. It has one central conflict rather than slow character development. It’s rooted in history and involves more improvisation (即席创作) because the play is always tailored to a local audience,” says Lucy. (那一年，她参加了一个民间戏剧研讨会，并发现了一种古老的蒙面表演一戴面具化装表演，男演员穿梭于村庄，表演简单的戏剧，通常以换取食物或住所。“这是一个比传统戏剧更简单的故事。它有一个中心冲突，而不是缓慢的角色发展。它根植于历史，包含更多的即兴创作，因为戏剧总是为当地观众量身定制的，”Lucy说）”可知，第二段主要讲了戴面具化装表演(mumming)的特点。故选B。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“As well as touring central Scotland, the group went to the International Mumming Symposium and Unconvention in Gloucestershire in 2016, and learned more about the history of folk drama. (除了在苏格兰中部巡回演出外，该团队还参加了2016年在格洛斯特郡举行的国际戴面具化装表演研讨会和非正式大会，并了解了更多关于民间戏剧的历史。)”可知，这个团队得到了很大发展，去了很多地方演出。故画线词意思是“发展”，故选C。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The drive to keep going is inspired by an experience more than 30 years ago. ‘I was in a national park in Yugoslavia when I saw a woman staring attentively at this green river,’ she says. ‘She told me she was going blind and wanted the river to be the last beautiful thing she ever saw.’ (30多年前的一次经历激发了我们继续前进的动力。她说：“我在南斯拉夫的一个国家公园里，看到一个女人聚精会神地盯着这条绿色的河流。”“她告诉我她快要失明了，希望这条河成为她见过的最后的美丽的事物。”)”以及“Whenever doubt creeps in (不知不觉产生)，Lucy recalls that encounter and feels forced to continue grasping life with both hands. (每当疑虑袭来时，Lucy就会回忆起那次偶遇，她觉得不得不继续用双手抓住生活。)”可推知，Lucy想通过这次偶遇告诉我们：我们应该努力活在当下。故选A。 C Amelia, a ninth-grade student at Carson Middle School, wanted to help her grandmother who struggled to open bottle caps. She found a solution in her engineering class, where students were tasked with adapting existing products to make daily life easier for people with difficulties. Amelia’s creativity kicked in as she researched existing bottle-opening devices. “The shape and size of a cellphone are familiar,” she said. To create a better bottle opener, Amelia used a piece of wood. It was shaped like a cellphone. Next, she put three holes in the wood. The holes were in different sizes so that they could match common bottle cap sizes. Each hole also had a layer of dried hot glue, providing a strong hold for the bottle caps. With a simple twisting motion, her grandmother could open bottles without assistance. While addressing challenges those with learning disabilities, movement challenges and other issues face, students like Amelia used more than their math, physics, and tool skills. They also learned about empathy (共情). “Empathy is looking at problems from another person’s point of view,” Amelia’s teacher, Mark Bolt, said. “It’s an important part of engineering. Engineers need to put themselves in their product users’ shoes to build effective solutions. It was empathy, while watching friends and family deal with daily tasks, that pushed other students’ projects.” Student Michael noticed how reading disorder made it difficult for his friends to follow along on pages full of text. Their brains tend to confuse the order of numbers, letters, and other images. So Michael created a small adjustable window-blind-style device. “My friend could separate small sections of text while reading,” he said. In the process, students tried different versions of their products to make the best one to show the class. Rather than having step-by-step directions for the projects. Bolt preferred to leave students’ creative paths open. “If we want to do better, we have to have a chance to fail,” he said. 8. What might be a solution to Amelia’s engineering class task? A. To invent new products. B. To better a hearing aid. C. To raise money for the disabled. D. To teach lower-grade students engineering. 9. Why are the three holes’ sizes different in Amelia’s bottle opener? A. To make the opener easier to hold. B. To make the most of space. C. To beautify the bottle opener. D. To ensure a wider use. 10. What should engineers do while designing products according to Mark Bolt? A. Ask for the users’ advice. B. Improve their work effectiveness. C. Be considerate toward their users. D. Focus more on the people around them. 11. How does Michael’s device work? A. By putting small sections together. B. By adding a dictionary to the text. C. By putting words in different colors. D. By focusing users’ attention on specific reading areas. 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了在Carson中学九年级的机械工程课上，学生们不仅学会了通过对现有设备的改造使周围人的生活更加便利，而且还学会了站在他人角度去思考，关心他们的需求。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“She found a solution in her engineering class, where students were tasked with adapting existing products to make daily life easier for people with difficulties. (在她的工程课上，她找到了一个解决方案，学生们的任务是改造现有的产品，让有困难的人的日常生活更容易)”可知，在工程课上，学生们改造现有产品，帮助改善有困难的人的生活质量。因此，Amelia的工程课任务可能是改进助听器。故选B项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“The holes were in different sizes so that they could match common bottle cap sizes. (这些孔的大小不同，以便与普通的瓶盖尺寸相匹配)”可知，这三个大小不同的孔是为了更好地匹配普通的瓶盖尺寸，使得开瓶器可以更广泛地使用。故选D项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中Mark Bolt所说的话“It’s an important part of engineering. Engineers need to put themselves in their product users’ shoes to build effective solutions. (这是工程学的重要组成部分。工程师需要站在产品用户的角度来构建有效的解决方案)”可知，Mark Bolt认为，在设计产品时，工程师应该为用户着想。故选C项。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Student Michael noticed how reading disorder made it difficult for his friends to follow along on pages full of text. (学生Michael注意到，由于阅读障碍，他的朋友们很难跟上整页的文字)”和“So Michael created a small adjustable window-blind-style device. “My friend could separate small sections of text while reading,” he said. (于是Michael发明了一个可调节的百叶窗式装置。他说：“我的朋友可以在阅读时将文本分成小段。”)”可知，Michael的设备是可调节的，在阅读时读者可以把文本分成小段，从而将注意力集中在特定的阅读领域。故选D项。 D In the second half of the 18th century, a British doctor named Edward Jenner gave his gardener’s son cowpox (牛痘) and then deliberately infected him with smallpox (天花) to test his assumption that people who were frequently exposed to cowpox, a similar but less severe virus, would avoid catching smallpox. It worked and cowpox as the vaccine (疫苗) was highly effective. “Vaccination”, from the Latin word for cow, soon became commonplace. Challenge trials are forms of research where, rather than relying on data from natural infections, we intentionally expose someone to a disease in order to test the effectiveness of a vaccine or treatment. Things have changed a lot since Jenner’s time, of course, when it was not uncommon for doctors to conduct this kind of research. Even so, there’s a continuous sense that there’s something immoral about making someone ill on purpose. But this shouldn’t blind us to the extraordinary power of challenge trials. They could become increasingly important weapons in the medical research, in a situation where vaccine technology is advancing and the threat of diseases jumping from animals into human beings is increasing. Much has been done to reduce the risks of challenge trials. Like respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) researchers have involved adults who are at a low risk of severe illness. These acts have already cut down a massive range of vaccine candidates. But not all diseases are like these ones. We don’t always know the dangers volunteers might face; we don’t always have treatments ready. What then? We could, of course, just avoid these questions entirely, and rely on other types of research. But that doesn’t always work: sometimes, animal testing is tricky and uninformative, because the disease doesn’t develop in the same way as it would in humans. In contrast, challenge trials can be deeply informative within weeks, with far fewer volunteers. And the benefits can be surprisingly high. In order to make sure we are as protected as possible from current and future threats, we should try to get rid of the misbelief in challenge trials, making them a more familiar part of our tool kits. Perhaps the greatest reward of all would be to make sure participants’ efforts are worthwhile: by designing trials to be fair and effective and applying them when and where they might make a real difference. In short, by helping them to save thousands, if not millions of lives. 12. The author tells the story of Edward Jenner with the intention of ________. A. defining what are challenge trials. B. showing the origin of the word “vaccination”. C. emphasizing the importance of his vaccine. D. introducing the topic of challenge trials. 13. What can be inferred from the passage? A. The issues behind challenge trials are easy to solve. B. Despite the risks, challenge trials can benefit numerous lives. C. The dangers of challenge trials outweigh the benefits they bring. D. Challenge trials can prevent the development of vaccine technologies. 14. What does the author intend to tell us? A. A cautious attitude should be taken towards challenge trials. B. Challenge trials guarantee participants protection against threats. C. People should be more open to challenge trials. D. The accuracy of challenge trials can be improved with more volunteers involved. 15. What can be the best title for the passage? A. Can challenge trials block medical progress? B. Should we use challenge trials to find cures? C Can challenge trials put an end to infectious diseases? D. Should we replace animal testing with challenge trials? 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。短文介绍了关于医学研究中挑战试验的信息，并阐述了挑战试验的优势和重要性。通过简明扼要地介绍，以及使用有据可查的数据和案例，解释挑战试验在医学研究中的用途和潜在效益。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“In the second half of the 18th century, a British doctor named Edward Jenner gave his gardener’s son cowpox (牛痘) and then deliberately infected him with smallpox (天花) to test his assumption that people who were frequently exposed to cowpox, a similar but less severe virus, would avoid catching smallpox. (18世纪后半叶，一位名叫爱德华·詹纳(Edward Jenner)的英国医生让他的园丁的儿子染上牛痘，然后故意让他感染天花)”以检验他的假设，即经常接触牛痘(一种类似但不那么严重的病毒)的人会避免感染天花)”以及第二段“Challenge trials are forms of research where, rather than relying on data from natural infections, we intentionally expose someone to a disease in order to test the effectiveness of a vaccine or treatment. (挑战试验是一种研究形式，我们不是依靠自然感染的数据，而是故意让某人接触某种疾病，以测试疫苗或治疗的有效性)”可知，作者讲述爱德华·詹纳的故事是为了介绍挑战试验的话题。故选D项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Even so, there’s a continuous sense that there’s something immoral about making someone ill on purpose. (即便如此，人们仍然认为故意让别人生病是不道德的)”以及第三段“But this shouldn’t blind us to the extraordinary power of challenge trials. They could become increasingly important weapons in the medical research, in a situation where vaccine technology is advancing and the threat of diseases jumping from animals into human beings is increasing. (但这不应该让我们忽视挑战试验的非凡力量。在疫苗技术不断进步、疾病从动物传染给人类的威胁日益增加的情况下，它们可能成为医学研究中越来越重要的武器)”可知，尽管有风险，但挑战试验可以使许多生命受益。故选B项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“In order to make sure we are as protected as possible from current and future threats, we should try to get rid of the misbelief in challenge trials, making them a more familiar part of our tool kits. Perhaps the greatest reward of all would be to make sure participants’ efforts are worthwhile: by designing trials to be fair and effective and applying them when and where they might make a real difference. In short, by helping them to save thousands, if not millions of lives. (为了确保我们尽可能免受当前和未来的威胁，我们应该努力消除对挑战试验的误解，使其成为我们工具箱中更为常见的一部分。也许最大的回报将是确保参与者的努力是值得的：通过设计合理、有效的试验，并在可能产生真正差异的时间和地点应用这些试验。简而言之，通过帮助他们即使不能拯救数百万人的生命，也能拯救成千上万人)”可知，本文作者想告诉我们对挑战试验应采取更开放的态度。故选C项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“Challenge trials are forms of research where, rather than relying on data from natural infections, we intentionally expose someone to a disease in order to test the effectiveness of a vaccine or treatment. (挑战试验是一种研究形式，我们不是依靠自然感染的数据，而是故意让某人接触某种疾病，以测试疫苗或治疗的有效性)”以及最后一句“In short, by helping them to save thousands, if not millions of lives. (简而言之，通过帮助他们即使不能拯救数百万人的生命，也能拯救成千上万人)”可知，B项“我们应该使用挑战试验来寻找治疗方法吗?”是本文最好的标题。故选B项。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 In the journey of life, there’s an often ignored hero — labor. Yes, that’s right, good old-fashioned hard work. Whether it’s mowing lawns, babysitting, or washing dishes, the act of laboring not only fills pockets but also shapes characters and molds futures. Let’s face it, we live in a world where instant satisfaction is the norm (标准). But what if we told you that delaying that satisfaction and putting in some good, honest sweat can actually be beneficial? It’s true! ____16____ ____17____ Imagine a teenager tasked with mowing lawns for a summer job. Suddenly, they’re responsible for showing up on time, doing a thorough job, and managing their earnings. These are life skills that no classroom lecture can match. Moreover, labor breeds (培养) perseverance. ____18____ Instead of throwing in the towel, they persevere, learning from each setback and growing stronger in the process. This perseverance becomes a cornerstone (基石) for success in all aspects of life. But perhaps the most profound impact of labor is its ability to foster empathy and appreciation. ____19____ As teenagers serve meals to the less fortunate, they gain a newfound perspective on privilege and gratitude. Suddenly, that new smartphone doesn’t seem as important as lending a helping hand to those in need. In conclusion, labor isn’t just about earning a paycheck but it’s also about shaping character and building a foundation for success. So, the next time you see a teenager sweating it out on a hot summer day, remember — ____20____ A. Labour is significantly beneficial to health. B. Take, for instance, volunteering at a local soup kitchen. C. labor isn’t just about earning money and training skills. D. First, labor gradually acquires a sense of responsibility. E. Imagine a young adult facing rejection after rejection while job hunting. F. they’re not just mowing lawns, they’re paving their path to a brighter future. G. The process of laboring teaches invaluable lessons that textbooks simply can’t convey. 【答案】16. G 17. D 18. E 19. B 20. F 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了在人生的旅程中，劳动和劳动技能的培养不仅赚了钱，而且塑造了性格，塑造了未来，这是从书本上不能获得的。 【16题详解】 上文“But what if we told you that delaying that satisfaction and putting in some good, honest sweat can actually be beneficial? It’s true!(但如果我们告诉你，推迟这种满足，投入一些好的、诚实的劳动实际上是有益呢？这是真的！)”是肯定劳动是有好处的，那么下文将说明劳动有哪些好处。选项G“The process of laboring teaches invaluable lessons that textbooks simply can’t convey. (劳动的过程教会了教科书无法传达的宝贵教训。)”符合语境。故选G。 【17题详解】 这是段首句，是标题句。下文“Suddenly, they’re responsible for showing up on time, doing a thorough job, and managing their earnings. These are life skills that no classroom lecture can match. (突然之间，他们很负责，会按时到场，从头到尾多做工作，并管理自己的收人。这些都是任何课堂讲座都无法匹配的生活技能。)”是说明劳动会培养责任感。选项D“First, labor gradually acquires a sense of responsibility (首先，劳动逐渐获得了一种责任感。)”，同时，First与下文的Moreover呼应。故选D。 【18题详解】 根据上文“Moreover, labor breeds perseverance. (此外，劳动还能培养出毅力。)”和下文“Instead of throwing in the towel, they persevere, learning from each setback and growing stronger in the process. This perseverance becomes a cornerstone for success in all aspects of life. (他们没有认输，而是坚持不懈，从每一次挫折中学习，并在这个过程中变得更强大。这种毅力成为了在生活的各个方面取得成功的基石。)”，可知空格处要举例说明劳动如何培养出毅力。选项E“Imagine a young adult facing rejection after rejection while job hunting. (想象一下，一个年轻人在求职时面临被一而再的拒绝。)”符合此语境。故选E。 【19题详解】 根据上文“But perhaps the most profound impact of labor is its ability to foster empathy and appreciation. (但也许劳动最深刻的影响是它培养共情心和欣赏的能力。)”和下文“As teenagers serve meals to the less fortunate, they gain a newfound perspective on privilege and gratitude. (当青少年为不幸的人提供食物时，他们对特权和感激有了一种新的看法。)”，可知空格处引出了如何培养共情心和欣赏的能力的例子，可以承接上文，引出下文。选项B“Take, for instance, volunteering at a local soup kitchen. (以在当地的施粥所做志愿者为例。)”符合此语境。故选B。 【20题详解】 本句是文章尾段的尾句，结合上文“In conclusion, labor isn’t just about earning a paycheck but it’s also about shaping character and building a foundation for success. (总之，劳动不仅仅在于挣钱，还在于塑造性格和为成功奠定基础。)”，可知破折号后对劳动的意义进一步说明，给出了忠告。选项F“So, the next time you see a teenager sweating it out on a hot summer day, remember — they’re not just mowing lawns, they’re paving their path to a brighter future (所以，下次当你看到一个青少年在炎热的夏天大汗淋漓的时候，请记住——他们不只是在修剪草坪，他们还在为通往更光明的未来铺平道路。)”符合语境。故选F。 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。 On a sunny afternoon, Anthony Perry stepped off the train at Chicago’s 69th Street station.

I wasn’t even supposed to be working the evening shift, but had agreed to swap with a colleague who needed the night off. Among my many duties was to assist in the emergency room (ER) if our ER nurse needed help. Suddenly, my pager (寻呼机) echoed down the hallway that quiet evening. “I need your help now,” a nurse in ER said urgently. “We have an ambulance out on a little boy. Not many details, but it doesn’t sound good. He was found outside in a snow bank, and the first responders have started CPR.” My heart sank. It was thirty degrees below zero with windchill. The child didn’t have a chance. I entered the emergency room. The ambulance was just pulling up, and when the gurney (轮床) rolled into the ER it was met with dead silence. CPR was in progress. The blond boy lay lifeless and pale with little hands frozen so solid. Because of the circumstances, we were obligated to continue CPR until his core body temperature was raised. No one in the room seemed to hold any hope of bringing back this little boy. The next hour passed quickly as many ways were conducted to warm him up. I stood silently over him, tears running down my cheeks, as I prayed silently for him and his family. I couldn’t even help understanding the pain his parents were experiencing. He was the same age as my little boy, with the same beautiful blue eyes and blond hair. I thought of how much I loved my son and tried to remember the last time I told him I loved him so. What if he died tonight? Would he die knowing how much I loved him? I realized, watching a group of doctors and nurses desperately trying to do the impossible, that I hadn’t even hugged him before leaving for work. And I deeply regretted that now. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按照如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Then a miracle occurred. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Watching the scene, I made a promise to myself that night. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 Then a miracle occurred. The little boy’s heart began to beat. Slowly at first and then more steadily. In ten minutes, his color turned a beautiful shade of pink and his pupils became reactive. All doctors and nurses present were wild with delight. And relief swept over my body and tears streamed down my face. I was in awe knowing I had received a very special invitation to witness a miracle. When I told the good news to his parents, they were choked with tears and couldn’t wait to see their son. Watching the scene, I made a promise to myself that night. A promise to never again let a day go by when I didn’t hug my son and tell him that I loved him. He would never leave this Earth without knowing how much I loved him. It no longer mattered if he returned my love or if he pushed me away. I just wanted him to be healthy and grow up in an environment surrounded by love. In the months and years that followed, I kept my promise. He has done very well and is today a very happy, loving little boy. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者1992年在一家乡村小医院当主管，某个冬天的晚上来了一个小男孩。但是男孩幸存的机会很微弱。幸运的是，最后男孩存活了下来，作者也承诺以后要多拥抱和关心自己的孩子。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“然后奇迹发生了”可知，第一段可描写男孩逐渐恢复生命体征的过程以及作者告知其父母。 ②由第二段首句内容“看着这一幕，那天晚上我对自己许下了一个承诺”可知，第二段可描写作者从这件事中得到的感悟和承诺。 2.续写线索：奇迹发生——男孩幸存——告知父母——作者承诺——作者感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①遵守诺言：keep one’s promise / keep one’s words ②回报：return/pay back ③拥抱：hug/embrace 情绪类 ①快乐：delight /joy 【点睛】[高分句型1] When I told the good news to his parents, they were choked with tears and couldn’t wait to see their son.
