Perhaps it’s time to consider signing up for an activity. Here are some for young teenagers to participate in after school. MUSIC AND ARTS For your child, growing into a young adult may be all about changes. They may start to feel awkward while expressing new tastes and styles. Luckily, music and arts offer great outlets to help channel their energy and frustrations in a creative method. Not to mention, they both strengthen creative thinking and math skills which can help build on all their subjects. SPORTS Participating in sports is much more than just losing weight. For most teens, there are plenty of sports-based activities for boys and girls after school. With sports programs, there are plenty of chances for teens to work together while building strength and leadership skills in co-operation. If your teenager’s school doesn’t offer school clubs, you can always try the local parks and recreation department activities. TUTOR OR OTHER AFTER-SCHOOL JOBS What’s better than learning in school? Helping other students learn. If your kid has a good command of certain school subjects, it may be a great choice for them to help tutor younger students in their off time, getting some income. If tutoring is not your child’s strong suit, consider helping them apply for an after-school job. These jobs help teens learn real world skills and they look great on college applications. VOLUNTEER WORK Volunteer work is constantly on the rise with plenty of chances for your teen to get involved. Working on volunteer projects will not only give your child a positive sense of accomplishment but also provide beneficial experiences for your kid’s college application to help the approval process. From packing food at the local food storage to walking animals at a local animal center, there are always chances, no matter what your child's interests are. Check with your local town hall for more chances for your teen to participate in. 1. What is special about “music and arts”? A. They make teens start to feel awkward. B They have nothing to do with creativity. C. They require participants to be energetic. D. They improve teens' math performance. 2. Sports can benefit teenagers in ________. A. gaining more confidence B. strengthening tutoring skills C. working together better D. becoming a bossy leader 3. What do the last two activities have in common? A They involve helping younger students. B. They give teens a sense of achievement. C. They help teens earn some pocket money. D. They help teens with their college admission. B At first look, the playground at the Children’s Guild-Transformation Academy in Baltimore, Maryland, looks like any other. It has swings, slides, and places for children to climb and crawl. But the playground is not just a place for fun. It is also a place where students can learn, grow and gain independence. Everything — from the kind of surface it sits on, to the color of its sitting areas, to the placement of the surrounding fence — is specifically designed for kids with autism (自闭症). Mark Rapaport is the managing director of autism services at the Transformation Academy. He told VOA Learning English the school accepts students aged 5 to 21 with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and are lower- functioning. Rapaport said the goal of Transformation Academy is to make the students as independent as possible in an effort to help them prepare for adult life. The school aims to provide help with developing communication and social skills, as well as practical abilities like cleaning or cooking. “The playground, designed by Maryland company Sparks@Play, using structures manufactured by Landscape Structures, Inc., took months to develop,” said Dan Hack. He works for Sparks@Play and helped lead the playground’s design. Hack said he and others spent weeks getting to know the students and understanding their needs before any building was started. The design process involved physical therapists, occupational therapists, and other specialists. The $500,000 project was funded with support from the state of Maryland and the nonprofit Orokawa Foundation. Parts of the playground that seem small are very important for children with autism and other disabilities. The surrounding fence extends into a wooded area to make it seem more open, And the ground under the play areas is made of soft, but solid materials to support students using wheelchairs or crutches. The benches on the outside of the playground look simple from far away, but are “one of our most inclusive sensory” elements, Hack said. They have many different colors that bring about feelings of calm and curiosity. They are also made with smooth material that can be felt and moved. The academy’s Rapaport said if a child starts to feel uneasy, they can sit down and feel the bench, which can help them relax. 4. Why is the playground at the Transformation Academy different from any other? A. It has equipment and places for kids to climb and crawl. B. Kids can become healthy mentally and physically in the playground. C. Only students aged 5 to 21 are allowed to play in the playground. D. It is designed with special materials for ASD kids. 5. What does the Transformation Academy intend to do? A. Provide practical life skills for students with ASD. B. Teach students with ASD to exercise gradually. C. Help students with ASD get ready for their adulthood. D. Sharpen the communication skills of students with ASD. 6. How did Sparks@Play design the playground? A. By launching a fundraising campaign in the state of Maryland. B. By figuring out and considering students’ special needs at first. C. By decreasing the size of the playground to ensure students’ safety. D. By asking specialists to gather advice from students and teachers. 7. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. The surrounding fence is made of wooden materials. B. The ground under the play areas avoids the falling of students. C. The benches can relieve students’ stress and nervousness. D. The playground is small but open enough for students. C Amblyopia is the most common cause of vision loss in children. In all cases of amblyopia, there’s a stronger eye and a weaker eye, and it’s winner-take-all in the cortex (大脑皮层). The cortex learns to ignore the signal from the weaker eye. By ignoring the weaker eye, the brain doesn’t fuse (融合) images from both eyes. As a result, people with amblyopia can have trouble seeing in 3D. In an attempt to solve this problem, doctors start treating patients with amblyopia at a young age, while their brain pathways are still developing. The children, usually under 7 years old, are often told to wear an eye patch over their strong eye to force the brain to rely on the weaker. But whenever the eye patch is removed, the competition can start over. For lasting improvement, new treatments need to teach the brain to stop suppressing (抑制) key visual cues coming from the weaker eye, says neuroscientist Dennis Levi of the University of California. Now, several research teams are taking a new way that aims to get the brain to make better use of the information coming from both eyes, Several companies are working on treatments based on this new angle. One is called Luminopia. Luminopia’s therapy involves having children watch videos through a virtual reality headset. As the children watch, the headset blocks out certain parts of the display for each eye, so the patients actually have to combine input from the two images to get the full video. The company conducted a trial showing that children with amblyopia begin to see better on eye chart assessments after three months of one-hour sessions done six days a week, But they have yet to measure improvements in long-term effectiveness. It is believed that if people with amblyopia don’t learn to fuse signals from both eyes from a young age, they never will. So some scientists think attempting to treat adults, whose brains have suppressed signals from their weak eye for decades, is a lost cause. 8. Why does a person with amblyopia have trouble seeing in 3D? A. His brain is unable to receive images. B. His cortex overlooks signals from the weaker eye. C. His stronger eye can’t send signals to the brain. D. His weaker eye fails to receive signals. 9. Which of the following best describes the effect of an eye patch? A. Ineffective. B. Temporary. C Wonderful. D. Comprehensive. 10. What is the working principle of Luminopia’s therapy? A. Activating the weak eye to get the full video. B. Forcing the brain to rely on the weaker eye. C. Improving the situations with eye chart assessments. D. Blocking out the images received from the stronger eye. 11. What can we learn about Luminopia’s therapy from the last paragraph? A. It has an instant effect. B. Adults are is main targets. C. More trials need to be conducted. D. It has long-term effectiveness. D One evening in February 2007, a student named Paula Ceely brought her car to a stop on a remote in Wales. She got out to open a metal gate that blocked her path. That’s when she heard the whistle sounded by the driver of a train. Her Renault Clio parked across a railway line. Second later, she watched the train drag her car almost a kilometre down the railway tracks. Ceely’s near miss made the news because she blamed it on her GPS device (导航仪). She had never driven the route before. It was dark and raining heavily. Ceely was relying on her GPS. But it made no mention of the crossing. “I put my complete trust in the device and it led me right into the path of a speeding train,” she told the BBC. Who is to blame here? Rick Stevenson, who tells Ceely’s story in his book When Machines Fail Us, points the finger at the limitations of technology. We put our faith in digital devices, he says, but our digital helpers are too often not up to the job. They are filled with small problems. And it’s not just GPS devices: Stevenson takes us on a tour of digital disasters involving everything from mobile phones to wireless keyboards. The problem with his argument in the book is that it’s not clear why he only focuses on digital technology, while there may be a number of other possible causes. A mapmaker might have left the crossing off a paper map. Maybe we should blame Ceely tor not paying attention. Perhaps the railway authorities are at fault for poor signaling system. Or maybe someone has studied the relative dangers and worked out that there really is something specific wrong with the CPS equipment. But Stevenson doesn’t say. It’s a problem that runs through the book. In a section on cars, Stevenson gives an account of the advanced techniques that criminals use to defeat computer based locking systems for cars. He offers two independent sets of figures on car theft; both show a small rise in some parts of the country. He says that once again not all new locks have proved reliable. Perhaps, but maybe it’s also due to the shortage of policemen on the streets. Or changing social circumstances. Or some combination of these factors. The game between humans and their smart devices is amusing and complex. It is shaped by economics and psychology and the cultures we live in. Somewhere in the mix of those forces there may be way a wiser use of technology. If there is such a way, it should involve more than just an awareness of the shortcomings of our machines. After all, we have lived with them for thousands of years. They have probably been fooling us for just as long. 12. The phrase “near miss” (paragraph 2) can best be replaced by ________. A. close hit B. heavy loss C. big mistake D. narrow escape 13. Which of the following would Rick Stevenson most probably agree with? A. Modern technology is what we can’t live without. B. Digital devices are more reliable than they used to be. C. Digital technology often falls short of out expectation. D. GPS error is not the only cause for Celery’s accident. 14. In the writer’s opinion, Stevenson’s argument is ________. A. reasonable B. one-sided C. puzzling D. well-based 15. What is the real concern of the writer of this article? A. The shortcomings of digital devices we use. B. The relationship between humans and technology C. The major causes of traffic accidents and car thefts. D. The human unawareness of technical problems. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 Agriculture has come a long way from its ancient beginnings. Long ago, farmers would work hard on their individual plots of land, using simple tools or even their bare hands. They tended to their crops for many hours each day so that the crops grew well. ____16____ For example, a single storm could destroy a whole year’s work, while a summer of good weather could ensure a good harvest. Modern science and technology have helped to greatly reduce the back-breaking labour involved in farming, along with the reliance on luck and guesswork. ____17____ Probably one of the most beneficial innovations is drip irrigation, which has made it possible to develop big, green farms in the middle of the desert. Simcha Blass, an Israeli scientist, discovered this new way of irrigation in the 1930s. Through this discovery, farmers can now produce crops on dry land without needing much water. ____18____ The limited and focused use of just the right amount of water also denies moisture (水分) to weeds, keeping them from harming the crops. ____19____ However, what if an area has plenty of water, but little usable soil? As it turns out, it is possible to grow plants without using soil at all. With hydroponics (水培), plant roots are supported by rocks or a fiber mat. Nutrient-rich water is then provided so that the plants can grow. Recent research has centered on vertical hydroponics farming. With a vertical farm, the crops are planted in containers that are piled into plant skyscrapers. ____20____ With such technological advances, the image of a farmer pushing a plough will eventually become a thing of the past. A. Luck played a great part in farming. B. Some areas would be too dry to grow crops. C. Drip irrigation deals with a lack of water in an area. D. There have been experiments to make drip irrigation a reality. E. This irrigation method uses far less water than other methods. F. Furthermore, nearly all hydroponic farms partially or fully automated. G. Farmers have benefited greatly from innovations in crop production. 第三部分 语言知识运用（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） 阅读下面的短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 I used to find award show speeches inspiring when celebrities encouraged people to “chase their dreams.” However, as I grew older, I ___21___ the toxicity (毒性) behind this notion.

He always called me the nickname “Germy”, which meant “dirty”, instead of my real name “Jamie”. Besides, he was known as a trouble-maker in school. So when the head teacher Mr. Smith asked Del to come to his office, I naturally thought that Del had done something mean to someone. Through the window, I caught sight of a smaller boy crying. Del seemed unhappy, too. He did not return to class that day. All of us were discussing what had happened to him. What else could such an annoying boy do? “He must have hit the boy and was sent home,” I whispered to my friends. Their eyes widened. It felt good to see them so interested in what I said. The next morning, the whole school was talking about Del being expelled(开除) for beating up a kid. I was surprised that my assumptions were passed on so quickly. So when Del walked into the classroom, all the kids were shocked. The kids next to him shift ed their desks away. “What’s your problem?” Del asked. “I don’t want you to attack me,” one kid said. Some laughed. “Yeah, I might,” said Del. I could tell he was joking, but many kids thought he admitted he did beat up someone. During recess(课间休息), Del tried to join the kickball game. “Neither team wants you,” one of the players said. “Why?” Del asked, looking confused. “I always play with you guys.” They ignored him and went on playing. Del sat by himself while the rest of the school enjoyed their recess away from him. Del looked lonely and sad, much different from before. I started to feel sorry for him. Later that day, I learned what really happened. The kid was Del’s little brother and he was crying because their mother fell ill and was sent to hospital. I felt even sorrier for what I said before. I started a rumor(谣言). 注意： 1．续写词数应为150左右;2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 At recess the next day, I saw Del sitting alone watching the kickball game. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Now that Del had forgiven me, I decided to do more before the recess was over. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力1~5 BCCAB 6~10 BABAC 11~15 CBACA 16~20 CBCAA 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024届高三模拟考英语科试卷 第一部分 听力理解（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，并标在试卷的相应位置，听完每段对话你都有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。 例：How much is the shirt?

It has swings, slides, and places for children to climb and crawl. But the playground is not just a place for fun. It is also a place where students can learn, grow and gain independence. Everything — from the kind of surface it sits on, to the color of its sitting areas, to the placement of the surrounding fence — is specifically designed for kids with autism (自闭症). Mark Rapaport is the managing director of autism services at the Transformation Academy. He told VOA Learning English the school accepts students aged 5 to 21 with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and are lower- functioning. Rapaport said the goal of Transformation Academy is to make the students as independent as possible in an effort to help them prepare for adult life. The school aims to provide help with developing communication and social skills, as well as practical abilities like cleaning or cooking. “The playground, designed by Maryland company Sparks@Play, using structures manufactured by Landscape Structures, Inc., took months to develop,” said Dan Hack. He works for Sparks@Play and helped lead the playground’s design. Hack said he and others spent weeks getting to know the students and understanding their needs before any building was started. The design process involved physical therapists, occupational therapists, and other specialists. The $500,000 project was funded with support from the state of Maryland and the nonprofit Orokawa Foundation. Parts of the playground that seem small are very important for children with autism and other disabilities. The surrounding fence extends into a wooded area to make it seem more open, And the ground under the play areas is made of soft, but solid materials to support students using wheelchairs or crutches. The benches on the outside of the playground look simple from far away, but are “one of our most inclusive sensory” elements, Hack said. They have many different colors that bring about feelings of calm and curiosity. They are also made with smooth material that can be felt and moved. The academy’s Rapaport said if a child starts to feel uneasy, they can sit down and feel the bench, which can help them relax. 4. Why is the playground at the Transformation Academy different from any other? A. It has equipment and places for kids to climb and crawl. B. Kids can become healthy mentally and physically in the playground. C. Only students aged 5 to 21 are allowed to play in the playground. D. It is designed with special materials for ASD kids. 5. What does the Transformation Academy intend to do? A. Provide practical life skills for students with ASD. B. Teach students with ASD to exercise gradually. C. Help students with ASD get ready for their adulthood. D. Sharpen the communication skills of students with ASD. 6. How did Sparks@Play design the playground? A. By launching a fundraising campaign in the state of Maryland. B. By figuring out and considering students’ special needs at first. C. By decreasing the size of the playground to ensure students’ safety. D. By asking specialists to gather advice from students and teachers. 7. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. The surrounding fence is made of wooden materials. B. The ground under the play areas avoids the falling of students. C. The benches can relieve students’ stress and nervousness. D. The playground is small but open enough for students. 【答案】4. D 5. C 6. B 7.

The academy’s Rapaport said if a child starts to feel uneasy, they can sit down and feel the bench, which can help them relax.(哈克说，操场外面的长椅从远处看很简单，但却是“我们最具包容性的感官元素之一”。它们有许多不同的颜色，给人带来平静和好奇的感觉。它们也是用光滑的材料制成的，可以触摸和移动。该学院的拉帕波特说，如果孩子开始感到不安，他们可以坐下来摸摸长凳，这可以帮助他们放松)”可推知，这些长椅可以缓解学生的压力和紧张。故选C。 C Amblyopia is the most common cause of vision loss in children. In all cases of amblyopia, there’s a stronger eye and a weaker eye, and it’s winner-take-all in the cortex (大脑皮层). The cortex learns to ignore the signal from the weaker eye. By ignoring the weaker eye, the brain doesn’t fuse (融合) images from both eyes. As a result, people with amblyopia can have trouble seeing in 3D. In an attempt to solve this problem, doctors start treating patients with amblyopia at a young age, while their brain pathways are still developing. The children, usually under 7 years old, are often told to wear an eye patch over their strong eye to force the brain to rely on the weaker. But whenever the eye patch is removed, the competition can start over. For lasting improvement, new treatments need to teach the brain to stop suppressing (抑制) key visual cues coming from the weaker eye, says neuroscientist Dennis Levi of the University of California. Now, several research teams are taking a new way that aims to get the brain to make better use of the information coming from both eyes, Several companies are working on treatments based on this new angle. One is called Luminopia. Luminopia’s therapy involves having children watch videos through a virtual reality headset. As the children watch, the headset blocks out certain parts of the display for each eye, so the patients actually have to combine input from the two images to get the full video. The company conducted a trial showing that children with amblyopia begin to see better on eye chart assessments after three months of one-hour sessions done six days a week, But they have yet to measure improvements in long-term effectiveness. It is believed that if people with amblyopia don’t learn to fuse signals from both eyes from a young age, they never will. So some scientists think attempting to treat adults, whose brains have suppressed signals from their weak eye for decades, is a lost cause. 8. Why does a person with amblyopia have trouble seeing in 3D? A. His brain is unable to receive images. B. His cortex overlooks signals from the weaker eye. C. His stronger eye can’t send signals to the brain. D. His weaker eye fails to receive signals. 9. Which of the following best describes the effect of an eye patch? A. Ineffective. B. Temporary. C. Wonderful. D. Comprehensive. 10. What is the working principle of Luminopia’s therapy? A. Activating the weak eye to get the full video. B. Forcing the brain to rely on the weaker eye. C. Improving the situations with eye chart assessments. D. Blocking out the images received from the stronger eye. 11. What can we learn about Luminopia’s therapy from the last paragraph? A. It has an instant effect. B. Adults are is main targets. C. More trials need to be conducted. D. It has long-term effectiveness. 【答案】8. B 9. B 10. A 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是篇说明文。文章主要描述了儿童视力丧失的最常见原因——弱视的形成原因、特征和治疗方法，并介绍了研究团队正在采用的一种新的治疗儿童弱视的方法——Luminopia疗法。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“The cortex learns to ignore the signal from the weaker eye. By ignoring the weaker eye, the brain doesn’t fuse (融合) images from both eyes. As a result, people with amblyopia can have trouble seeing in 3D.”（大脑皮层学会忽略弱眼发出的信号，通过忽略较弱的眼睛，大脑不会融合来自两只眼睛的图像。因此，弱视患者在看3D时可能会有困难。）可知，弱视患者的大脑皮层通过忽略了弱眼发出的信号，大脑没有融合来自两只眼睛的图像，使得他们在看3D是有困难。故选B。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“But whenever the eye patch is removed, the competition can start over.”（但只要摘下眼罩，比赛就可以重新开始。）可知，眼罩的功效是暂时的。故选B。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“For lasting improvement, new treatments need to teach the brain to stop suppressing (抑制) key visual cues coming from the weaker eye,”（为了持久的改善，新的治疗方法需要教会大脑停止抑制来自较弱的眼睛的关键视觉线索，）和第四段“As the children watch, the headset blocks out certain parts of the display for each eye, so the patients actually have to combine input from the two images to get the full video.”（当孩子们观看时，耳机会为每只眼睛屏蔽显示的特定部分，因此患者实际上必须将两个图像的输入结合起来才能获得完整的视频。）可知，弱视患者的大脑皮层会抑制弱眼发出的信号，而Luminopia疗法的工作原理就是要激活弱眼，结合两只眼睛输入的图像，以获得完整的视频。故选A。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“The company conducted a trial showing that children with amblyopia begin to see better on eye chart assessments after three months of one-hour sessions done six days a week, But they have yet to measure improvements in long-term effectiveness.”（该公司进行的一项试验表明，弱视儿童在接受为期三个月、每周六天、每次一小时的治疗后，在视力表评估中开始看得更清楚，但他们尚未衡量长期疗效的改善程度。）可知，一项试验表明Luminopia疗法有一定的效果，但是长期疗效还需要通过更多的试验来衡量。故选C。 D One evening in February 2007, a student named Paula Ceely brought her car to a stop on a remote in Wales. She got out to open a metal gate that blocked her path. That’s when she heard the whistle sounded by the driver of a train. Her Renault Clio parked across a railway line. Second later, she watched the train drag her car almost a kilometre down the railway tracks. Ceely’s near miss made the news because she blamed it on her GPS device (导航仪). She had never driven the route before. It was dark and raining heavily. Ceely was relying on her GPS. But it made no mention of the crossing. “I put my complete trust in the device and it led me right into the path of a speeding train,” she told the BBC. Who is to blame here? Rick Stevenson, who tells Ceely’s story in his book When Machines Fail Us, points the finger at the limitations of technology. We put our faith in digital devices, he says, but our digital helpers are too often not up to the job. They are filled with small problems. And it’s not just GPS devices: Stevenson takes us on a tour of digital disasters involving everything from mobile phones to wireless keyboards. The problem with his argument in the book is that it’s not clear why he only focuses on digital technology, while there may be a number of other possible causes. A mapmaker might have left the crossing off a paper map. Maybe we should blame Ceely tor not paying attention. Perhaps the railway authorities are at fault for poor signaling system. Or maybe someone has studied the relative dangers and worked out that there really is something specific wrong with the CPS equipment. But Stevenson doesn’t say. It’s a problem that runs through the book. In a section on cars, Stevenson gives an account of the advanced techniques that criminals use to defeat computer based locking systems for cars. He offers two independent sets of figures on car theft; both show a small rise in some parts of the country. He says that once again not all new locks have proved reliable. Perhaps, but maybe it’s also due to the shortage of policemen on the streets. Or changing social circumstances. Or some combination of these factors. The game between humans and their smart devices is amusing and complex. It is shaped by economics and psychology and the cultures we live in. Somewhere in the mix of those forces there may be way a wiser use of technology. If there is such a way, it should involve more than just an awareness of the shortcomings of our machines. After all, we have lived with them for thousands of years. They have probably been fooling us for just as long. 12. The phrase “near miss” (paragraph 2) can best be replaced by ________. A. close hit B. heavy loss C. big mistake D. narrow escape 13. Which of the following would Rick Stevenson most probably agree with? A. Modern technology is what we can’t live without. B. Digital devices are more reliable than they used to be. C. Digital technology often falls short of out expectation. D. GPS error is not the only cause for Celery’s accident. 14. In the writer’s opinion Stevenson’s argument is ________. A. reasonable B. one-sided C. puzzling D. well-based 15. What is the real concern of the writer of this article? A. The shortcomings of digital devices we use. B The relationship between humans and technology C. The major causes of traffic accidents and car thefts. D. The human unawareness of technical problems. 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. B 15. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了一个因为导航仪出错误而引起事故，告诉大家现代的仪器也会出问题，不要过于依赖他们。人类对于很多技术并不是完全了解，需要加强学习。 【12题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段“Her Renault Clio was parked across a railway line. Seconds later, she watched the train drag her car almost a kilometre down the railway tracks.”可知，她的雷诺Clio停在一条铁路线上。几秒钟后，她看着火车把她的车拖下了将近一公里的铁轨。由此可知，她很幸运，九死一生，没有被撞。故narrow escape表示“死里逃生、幸免于难”符合划线词含义。故选D。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“We put our faith in digital devices, he says, but our digital helpers are too often not up to the job. (他说，我们相信数字设备，但我们的数字助手往往不能胜任工作。)”可知，Rick Stevenson认为现代的很多装置经常不能符合我们的期望值。故选C。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“The problem with his argument in the book is that it’s not clear why he only focuses on digital technology, while there may be a number of other possible causes. (他在书中论点的问题是，他为什么只关注数字技术还不清楚，而可能有许多其他可能的原因。)”可知，作者认为史蒂文森的争论只是单方的，他只聚焦于数字技术而忽视了很多其它方面的原因。故选B。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Somewhere in the mix of those forces there may be a way for a wiser use of technology. (在这些力量的混合中，也许有一种更明智地使用技术的方法。)”和最后一段“If there is such a way, it should involve more than just an awareness of the shortcomings of our machines. (如果有这样一种方法，它应该不仅仅涉及到我们的机器的缺点。)”可知，作者真正关心的是人与技术之间的关系。故选B。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 Agriculture has come a long way from its ancient beginnings. Long ago, farmers would work hard on their individual plots of land, using simple tools or even their bare hands. They tended to their crops for many hours each day so that the crops grew well. ____16____ For example, a single storm could destroy a whole year’s work, while a summer of good weather could ensure a good harvest. Modern science and technology have helped to greatly reduce the back-breaking labour involved in farming, along with the reliance on luck and guesswork. ____17____ Probably one of the most beneficial innovations is drip irrigation, which has made it possible to develop big, green farms in the middle of the desert. Simcha Blass, an Israeli scientist, discovered this new way of irrigation in the 1930s. Through this discovery, farmers can now produce crops on dry land without needing much water. ____18____ The limited and focused use of just the right amount of water also denies moisture (水分) to weeds, keeping them from harming the crops. ____19____ However, what if an area has plenty of water, but little usable soil? As it turns out, it is possible to grow plants without using soil at all. With hydroponics (水培), plant roots are supported by rocks or a fiber mat. Nutrient-rich water is then provided so that the plants can grow. Recent research has centered on vertical hydroponics farming. With a vertical farm, the crops are planted in containers that are piled into plant skyscrapers. ____20____ With such technological advances, the image of a farmer pushing a plough will eventually become a thing of the past. A. Luck played a great part in farming. B. Some areas would be too dry to grow crops. C. Drip irrigation deals with a lack of water in an area. D. There have been experiments to make drip irrigation a reality. E. This irrigation method uses far less water than other methods. F. Furthermore, nearly all hydroponic farms partially or fully automated. G. Farmers have benefited greatly from innovations in crop production. 【答案】16. A 17. G 18. E 19. C 20.

He always called me the nickname “Germy”, which meant “dirty”, instead of my real name “Jamie”. Besides, he was known as a trouble-maker in school. So when the head teacher Mr. Smith asked Del to come to his office, I naturally thought that Del had done something mean to someone. Through the window, I caught sight of a smaller boy crying. Del seemed unhappy, too. He did not return to class that day. All of us were discussing what had happened to him. What else could such an annoying boy do? “He must have hit the boy and was sent home,” I whispered to my friends. Their eyes widened. It felt good to see them so interested in what I said. The next morning, the whole school was talking about Del being expelled(开除) for beating up a kid. I was surprised that my assumptions were passed on so quickly. So when Del walked into the classroom, all the kids were shocked. The kids next to him shift ed their desks away. “What’s your problem?” Del asked. “I don’t want you to attack me,” one kid said. Some laughed. “Yeah, I might,” said Del. I could tell he was joking, but many kids thought he admitted he did beat up someone. During recess(课间休息), Del tried to join the kickball game. “Neither team wants you,” one of the players said. “Why?” Del asked, looking confused. “I always play with you guys.” They ignored him and went on playing. Del sat by himself while the rest of the school enjoyed their recess away from him. Del looked lonely and sad, much different from before. I started to feel sorry for him. Later that day, I learned what really happened. The kid was Del’s little brother and he was crying because their mother fell ill and was sent to hospital. I felt even sorrier for what I said before. I started a rumor(谣言). 注意： 1．续写词数应为150左右;2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 At recess the next day, I saw Del sitting alone watching the kickball game. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Now that Del had forgiven me, I decided to do more before the recess was over. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】At recess the next day, I saw Del sitting alone watching the kickball game. Not wanting him to feel left out, I walked over and sat down beside him. “Hey Germy,” he said. “My name is Jamie.” I replied. I wanted to apologize for starting that rumor about him, but I was too ashamed to say it out loudly. “Del, do you want to play kickball with us?” I asked instead. He looked surprised but happy at the same time. After a moment of silence, he nodded his head. Now that Del had forgiven me, I decided to do more before the recess was over. I stood up and shouted to the other kids, “Guys, come here! Let’s play kickball together! ” Some of them hesitated, but they eventually joined us. Del was smiling again and so were we. As we played, I realized that Del wasn’t as bad as I thought he was. He was just a normal kid who wanted to have fun and be accepted by others. From then on, whenever someone tried to start a rumor about him, I would stand up for him and tell them the truth about Del. We became good friends, and I learned an important lesson about judging people based on rumors. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者不喜欢一个名叫Del的同学，因为那同学总是称呼作者外号，并且是有名的捣蛋鬼。一次校长把Del叫去办公室，作者透过窗户看到另一个小男孩在哭泣，Del也不高兴，作者认为Del打了人，要被学校开除了，就把自己想象的结果传播给同学，同学们信以为真。Del回到学校后，大家都不和他玩，他很孤独。后来作者知道了真相，校长把Del叫去办公室，是因为他妈妈病了，那个哭泣的小孩是Del的弟弟。作者知道自己传播了谣言，感觉对不起Del，作者主动和Del打招呼，带动其他同学和Del一起玩。他们最终成为好朋友的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“第二天课间休息时，我看见Del独自坐着看踢球比赛。”可知，第一段可描写作者想要主动和Del打招呼，和Del一起玩。 ②由第二段首句内容“既然Del已经原谅了我，我决定在课间休息结束前做更多的事情。”可知，第二段可描写作者带动其他同学和Del一起玩，通过交流他们成为好朋友。 2.续写线索：走过去——打招呼——道歉——请求一起玩——带动其他同学一起玩——成为好朋友——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 1.说：say/put it 2.道歉：apologize/say sorry 3.接受：accept/recognize 4.加入：join/take part 情绪类 1. 惊讶的：surprised/astonished 2. 快乐的：happy/pleased/delighted 【点睛】 [高分句型1].
