In the highly reviewed Shakespeare (2007), he raced us through the playwright’s life and works in 222 pages; A Short History of Nearly Everything (2003) was his 624-page analysis of “everything that has happened from the Big Bang to the rise of civilisation” — and it remains the best-selling science book of the 21st century so far. Can he make it again with A Really Short Journey Through the Body, which promises us a “head to toe” tour in 138 pages? In his books for adult readers, Bryson’s success has lain in an ability to turn vast, complex subjects into an easy and pleasant narrative, filled with tiny facts and odd stories. His latest book, which follows his adult title The Body (2020), is aimed at children as young as eight, for whom this proven writing style works well. “No doubt about it, the human body is a truly remarkable thing,” Bryson writes, and it’s the remarkable facts that interest him the most. Did you know that you bl ink 14,000 times a day? Or that it takes seven billion billion billion atoms to make you? And that if you formed all your DNA into a single line, it would reach 10 billion miles across the solar system? Fresh doctors might find some of the entries frustratingly brief. The tongue, for example, receives only a paragraph, while, a chapter, entitled ‘Poo and Farts’, is relatively detailed: “In your life, you’ll probably po o the weight of 5 cars but you’ll have eaten the weight of 60. So that’s not a terrible result.” Biology books can be heavy weather, but Bryson’s skill, as ever, is to turn the story of the human body into a thoroughly digestible read. 4. What do Bryson’s latest book and The Body (2020) have in common? A. They are easy to read. B. They are both about physics. C. They are intended for adults. D. They are both best-selling books. 5. What is the purpose of Paragraph 3? A. To analyze the structure of the book. B. To illustrate the attraction of the book. C. To show the scientific value of the book. D. To display the main contents of the book. 6. What does the underlined phrase “heavy weather” mean in the last paragraph? A. Packed with facts. B. Weather-related. C. Hard to understand. D. Popular and readable. 7. What is the text? A. An introduction to a book. B. An essay on biology. C. A news report on science. D. A biography of a writer. 【答案】4. A 5. B 6. C 7. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了Bill Bryson的新书以及特别之处，推荐大家阅读。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“His latest book, which follows his adult title The Body (2020), is aimed at children as young as eight, for whom this proven writing style works well.(继他的成人作品《身体》（2020）之后，他的新书针对的是8岁以下的儿童，这种经过验证的写作风格对他们来说效果很好)”可知，布莱森的新书和《身体》的共同之处是都很容易读。故选A。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段““No doubt about it, the human body is a truly remarkable thing,” Bryson writes, and it’s the remarkable facts that interest him the most. Did you know that you bl ink 14,000 times a day? Or that it takes seven billion billion billion atoms to make you? And that if you formed all your DNA into a single line, it would reach 10 billion miles across the solar system?(“毫无疑问，人体确实是一个了不起的东西，”布莱森写道，而最让他感兴趣的正是这些了不起的事实。你知道你每天要刷14000次吗?还是说你是由七十亿亿亿个原子组成的？如果你把你所有的DNA组成一条线，它将跨越太阳系100亿英里？)”可知，第3段的目的是为了说明这本书的吸引力。故选B。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“but Bryson’s skill, as ever, is to turn the story of the human body into a thoroughly digestible read.”中but表示转折，可知，说明生物学书籍可能会让人难以理解，但布莱森的技巧，一如既往，是把人体的故事变成一种完全容易理解的读物。故划线词意思是“难以理解”。故选C。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Can he make it again with A Really Short Journey Through the Body, which promises us a “head to toe” tour in 138 pages?(他能否凭借138页的《身体短暂之旅》再次做到这一点？这本书承诺给我们一次“从头到脚”的旅行)”结合文章主要介绍了Bill Bryson的新书以及特别之处，推荐大家阅读。可知，文章是一本书的前言。故选A。 C Strategically adding weak points along microscopic chains called polymers (高分子聚合物) actually makes them harder to tear, researchers report in the June 23 Science. Polymers are used in car tires, and therefore the findings could help reduce plastic pollution as tires wear down over time. When tires rub against the road, they drop microplastics of rubber and plastic polymers, which pollute waterways and air. Every year, tires release an estimated 6 million metric tons of these microplastics into environment. Stronger polymers that break apart less easily could limit the amount of particles shed annually. To make such tough materials, Stephen Craig, a chemist at Duke University, and colleagues added molecules called cross-linkers to the polymers. These cross-linkers connected these polymer chains to their many neighbors, and they were specifically designed to break apart easily. At the microscopic scale, the polymers act like a tangle (乱团) of spaghetti with the cross-linkers holding them all together and helping them keep their shape, says Craig’s collaborator Shu Wang, a chemist at MIT. When the team stretched the polymer spaghetti, the individual cross-linkers broke easily, as expected. But the larger tangle material required more force to break than they expected. The secret to the increased toughness lies in the path the tear has to take, Craig says. The tear goes through the easy-to-break cross-linkers rather than through the tougher polymer chains. Each broken connection follows the path of least resistance but avoiding the long polymer chains means breaking many cross-linkers, which requires more stretching force overall. This isn’t the first time researchers have used weak connectors to make polymers stronger. But unlike in similar materials, the increased toughness doesn’t come at the expense of other beneficial properties like stiffness (风度). Craig says he hopes the findings will help extend the lifetimes of car tires and plastics, potentially limiting annual microplastic pollution. 8. What benefit does the new material bring? A. It meets the road standard. B. It weakens plastic polymers. C. It releases less microplastics. D. It reduces the cost of car tires. 9. What can we know about the tangle material? A. It follows the pattern of spaghetti. B. It is designed to fall apart easily. C. The polymers help keep its shape. D. The larger tangle is harder to break. 10. What is the primary factor that contributes to the increased toughness? A. The weakness of the cross-linker. B. The strength of the polymer chains. C. The number of the cross-linkers used. D. The path the tear takes through the material. 11. What can we learn about the finding? A. It initially uses weak connectors. B. It sacrifices stiffness for toughness. C. It lengthens the lifespan of car tires. D. It removes annual microplastic pollution. 【答案】8. C 9. D 10. D 11. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要说明了研究人员在6月23日的《科学》杂志上报告说，在被称为高分子聚合物的微观链上战略性地增加弱点实际上使它们更难被撕裂，文章介绍了这种新材料的一些情况。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Polymers are used in car tires, and therefore the findings could help reduce plastic pollution as tires wear down over time.(高分子聚合物用于汽车轮胎，因此该研究结果可以帮助减少轮胎随着时间的推移而磨损产生的塑料污染)”可知，新材料带来的好处是释放的微塑料较少。故选C。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“But the larger tangle material required more force to break than they expected.(但是更大的乱团材料需要比他们预期的更大的力来断裂)”可知，越大的乱团越难解开。故选D。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“The secret to the increased toughness lies in the path the tear has to take, Craig says. The tear goes through the easy-to-break cross-linkers rather than through the tougher polymer chains. Each broken connection follows the path of least resistance but avoiding the long polymer chains means breaking many cross-linkers, which requires more stretching force overall.(增强韧性的秘诀在于撕裂的路径，克雷格说。撕裂是通过容易断裂的交联剂，而不是通过更坚硬的高分子聚合物链。每个断开的连接都遵循阻力最小的路径，但避免长高分子聚合物链意味着断开许多交联剂，这需要更大的拉伸力)”可知，增加韧性的主要因素是撕裂穿过材料的路径。故选D。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Craig says he hopes the findings will help extend the lifetimes of car tires and plastics, potentially limiting annual microplastic pollution.(克雷格说，他希望这些发现将有助于延长汽车轮胎和塑料的使用寿命，从而有可能限制每年的微塑料污染)”可知，这一发现可以延长汽车轮胎的寿命。故选C。 D Ever feel disconnected during a stressful event? That could be your brain protecting you. During traumatic (痛苦的) situations, people might experience an unexpected wave of emotional indifference or feel like they’ve separated from reality and are having an out-of-body experience. These symptoms of disconnect describe dissociation, a defense mechanism that separates threatening feelings and ideas from the rest of someone’s mind. But why do our minds sometimes dissociate when we’re experiencing stressful events? Typically, the sympathetic nervous system, which is responsible for our “fight or flight” response, activates when a person is in upcoming physical danger. Mammals, including humans, evolved to have this response, as it pushes them to survive by fighting or escaping from danger. Dissociation is another way the nervous system is ready to respond to trauma when fight or flight appears to be too dangerous or impossible. Dissociation can protect someone in the moment so that they are mentally separated from a situation causing physical pain, emotional pain or both. Oftentimes, victims of abuse report dissociation during the event or having foggy memories of an event after the fact due to dissociation. Nevertheless, problems can arise if people continue to dissociate even once they’re separated from the intense trauma, as opposed to relying on other coping mechanisms, for example, help from a professional. Many people who continue to dissociate often struggle with daily stress, like meeting work deadlines or speaking with peers. Many feel disconnected in their relationships and may find themselves unconcentrated during what used to be usual interactions or tasks. But the goal of addressing long-term dissociation isn’t to do away with it. After all, it can be a useful strategy to help survive a dangerous situation. But memories of the traumatic event are often disruptive and painful, so having some distance from that could mean a better quality of life after the trauma. 12. What is the main idea of Paragraph 1? A. It defines what dissociation is. B. It emphasizes the value of dissociation. C. It lists different symptoms of disconnect. D. It explains why we experience stressful events. 13 How does dissociation work on victims of abuse? A. By erasing their memories. B. By getting rid of their emotional pain. C. By protecting victims from physical pain. D. By distancing the victims mentally from the reality. 14. What might happen if people continue to dissociate? A. Failing to focus on tasks. B. Meeting work deadlines. C. Having a better quality of life. D. Relying on other coping mechanisms. 15. Which of the following might the author agree with? A. Traumatic events are avoidable. B. Dissociation needs to be handled properly. C. People’s well-being is based on the distance. D. There’re enough coping strategies for traumas. 【答案】12. A 13. D 14. A 15. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章主要介绍了一种心理防御机制——分裂。 【12题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段中“During traumatic (痛苦的) situations, people might experience an unexpected wave of emotional indifference or feel like they’ve separated from reality and are having an out-of-body experience. These symptoms of disconnect describe dissociation, a defense mechanism that separates threatening feelings and ideas from the rest of someone’s mind. (在创伤的情况下，人们可能会经历一波意想不到的情感冷漠，或者感觉他们已经脱离了现实，正在经历灵魂出窍的经历。这些脱节的症状描述了分裂，一种将威胁性的感觉和想法与他人思想的其他部分分离开来的防御机制。)”可知，本段定义了什么是“分裂”，故选A。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Dissociation can protect someone in the moment so that they are mentally separated from a situation causing physical pain, emotional pain or both. Oftentimes, victims of abuse report dissociation during the event or having foggy memories of an event after the fact due to dissociation. (分裂可以保护一个人，使他们在精神上与造成身体痛苦、情感痛苦或两者兼而有之的情况分开。通常情况下，虐待的受害者报告在事件发生时精神分裂，或者在事件发生后由于精神分裂而对事件有模糊的记忆。)”可知，分裂让受害者在精神上远离现实，故选D。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Many feel disconnected in their relationships and may find themselves unconcentrated during what used to be usual interactions or tasks. (许多人在人际关系中感到疏离，可能会发现自己在过去通常的互动或任务中无法集中注意力。)”可知，如果人们一直分裂，可能无法将注意力集中在任务上，故选A。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Nevertheless, problems can arise if people continue to dissociate even once they’re separated from the intense trauma, as opposed to relying on other coping mechanisms, for example, help from a professional. (然而，如果人们在从强烈的创伤中分裂出来后继续分裂，而不是依靠其他应对机制，比如专业人士的帮助，问题就会出现。)”和最后一段中“But the goal of addressing long-term dissociation isn’t to do away with it. (但解决长期分裂的目标并不是要消除它。)”可知，需要妥善处理分裂。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，从短文后的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。 Waking up at the crack of dawn and going for a run might feel awful when you start trying to make it a habit.

Using the limited vocabulary of an eight-year-old, I wrote stories and dreamed of one day becoming an author. My second-grade teacher urged my parents to nurture (培养) this desire, but they didn’t take my dream seriously. Through adulthood, the desire to write remained. The dream never died but there were more certain ways to generate income, so I was controled in different directions. None of the jobs I held afforded me the opportunity to write, and raising two daughters gave me little free time to pursue becoming an author. However, I held onto the dream that had flickered (闪烁) in me as a child. At the age of fifty-eight, I continued to manage the office of my husband’s construction company, but I was looking for something that would fill the void (空虚感) of our now empty nest. Writing stories and sharing them on social media filled some of that void, and the stories got quite a few likes, but it never crossed my mind as I approached my senior years that writing could be a career for me. One day, I met a friend from high school who was also my friend on social media. We hadn’t seen each other in several years, so I walked over to greet her. Anticipating that her first words would consist of how long it had been since we’d seen each other, I was shocked at what she spoke out. “You want to write. You need to write.” She had been reading the stories I shared on social media and had always commented with encouraging words. But no one had ever spoken these words to me. I had never even spoken these words out loud to myself. Those simple words she uttered lit a flame that had only been a flicker for a long time. Deep inside, I knew I still wanted to be an author. I wanted to follow my friend’s advice. I wanted to write. I needed to write. 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。 I went home that day and set out to write a story. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ One day after a year, I received an e-mail from the magazine. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 I went home that day and set out to write a story. The inspiration for the story came from the encouraging moment when my friend urged me to write. I buried myself in writing it day and night. After editing my words for what seemed like a million times, I got the courage to submit it to a magazine I had subscribed to for years. After submitting my work, it was followed by a long and anxious wait. Sadly, several months passed, and I didn’t hear anything back. I was convinced my dream would never be fulfilled, and I was foolish to think otherwise. One day after a year, I received an e-mail from the magazine. I couldn’t believe it! Finally, there was a contract for my review, and someone was willing to pay me for the use of my story. Imagine my excitement when, a couple of days later, another offer arrived by e-mail from a major book company! I truly felt as giddy as an eight-year-old girl by the end of the week. It’s hard to believe that a few simple words of advice and encouragement would lead me to achieving that dream —a dream that started in an elementary-school classroom with some construction paper and a yellow pencil. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索，主要讲述了一位自小怀揣写作梦想的女性，尽管因现实生活中的种种责任与挑战，未能全心追寻梦想，但她心中对成为作家的渴望从未熄灭。步入中老年后，一次偶然与老友的重逢，朋友的一句“你需要去写作”如火花般点燃了她长久以来未曾放弃的写作梦想，让她意识到无论年龄多大，追寻内心的热爱与梦想永远不晚。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句“那天我回家，开始写一个故事。”可知，本段可描写作者日以继夜的写稿，在反复润色无数次后，鼓足决心把作品投给了杂志社，但是却石沉大海，作者的作者内心受到挫折。 ②由第二段首句“一年后的一天，我收到了杂志的一封电子邮件。”可知，本段可描写一年后收到杂志回复，故事获采用并收到报酬，随后又接到图书公司邀约，儿时的写作梦，因一句鼓励终成真，令人兴奋不已。 2.续写线索：决心写作——反复润色——投稿——石沉大海——内心受挫——受到回复——稿件被采纳——梦想成真 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①敦促：urge/ prompt ②投身于：bury oneself in→devote oneself in ③提交：submit→send in 情绪类 ①振奋人心的：encouraging/inspiring ②兴奋：excitement/thrill 【点睛】【高分句型1】The inspiration for the story came from the encouraging moment when my friend urged me to write. （运用了when引导的限定性定语从句） 【高分句型2】 It’s hard to believe that a few simple words of advice and encouragement would lead me to achieving that dream —a dream that started in an elementary-school classroom with some construction paper and a yellow pencil.（运用了that引导的宾语从句，that引导的定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试（模拟） 英语 2024. 5 本试卷分选择题和非选择题两部分。满分120分。考试用时100分钟。 注意事项： 1. 答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡和试卷指定位置上。 2. 回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上，写在本试卷上无效。 3. 考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 阅读（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） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。 A Pet Hotels Where to Board Your Pet During the Holiday?

In the highly reviewed Shakespeare (2007), he raced us through the playwright’s life and works in 222 pages; A Short History of Nearly Everything (2003) was his 624-page analysis of “everything that has happened from the Big Bang to the rise of civilisation” — and it remains the best-selling science book of the 21st century so far. Can he make it again with A Really Short Journey Through the Body, which promises us a “head to toe” tour in 138 pages? In his books for adult readers, Bryson’s success has lain in an ability to turn vast, complex subjects into an easy and pleasant narrative, filled with tiny facts and odd stories. His latest book, which follows his adult title The Body (2020), is aimed at children as young as eight, for whom this proven writing style works well. “No doubt about it, the human body is a truly remarkable thing,” Bryson writes, and it’s the remarkable facts that interest him the most. Did you know that you bl ink 14,000 times a day? Or that it takes seven billion billion billion atoms to make you? And that if you formed all your DNA into a single line, it would reach 10 billion miles across the solar system? Fresh doctors might find some of the entries frustratingly brief. The tongue, for example, receives only a paragraph, while, a chapter, entitled ‘Poo and Farts’, is relatively detailed: “In your life, you’ll probably po o the weight of 5 cars but you’ll have eaten the weight of 60. So that’s not a terrible result.” Biology books can be heavy weather, but Bryson’s skill, as ever, is to turn the story of the human body into a thoroughly digestible read. 4. What do Bryson’s latest book and The Body (2020) have in common? A. They are easy to read. B. They are both about physics. C. They are intended for adults. D. They are both best-selling books. 5. What is the purpose of Paragraph 3? A. To analyze the structure of the book. B. To illustrate the attraction of the book. C. To show the scientific value of the book. D. To display the main contents of the book. 6. What does the underlined phrase “heavy weather” mean in the last paragraph? A. Packed with facts. B. Weather-related. C. Hard to understand. D. Popular and readable. 7. What is the text? A. An introduction to a book. B. An essay on biology. C. A news report on science. D. A biography of a writer. C Strategically adding weak points along microscopic chains called polymers (高分子聚合物) actually makes them harder to tear, researchers report in the June 23 Science. Polymers are used in car tires, and therefore the findings could help reduce plastic pollution as tires wear down over time. When tires rub against the road, they drop microplastics of rubber and plastic polymers, which pollute waterways and air. Every year, tires release an estimated 6 million metric tons of these microplastics into environment. Stronger polymers that break apart less easily could limit the amount of particles shed annually. To make such tough materials, Stephen Craig, a chemist at Duke University, and colleagues added molecules called cross-linkers to the polymers. These cross-linkers connected these polymer chains to their many neighbors, and they were specifically designed to break apart easily. At the microscopic scale, the polymers act like a tangle (乱团) of spaghetti with the cross-linkers holding them all together and helping them keep their shape, says Craig’s collaborator Shu Wang, a chemist at MIT. When the team stretched the polymer spaghetti, the individual cross-linkers broke easily, as expected. But the larger tangle material required more force to break than they expected. The secret to the increased toughness lies in the path the tear has to take, Craig says. The tear goes through the easy-to-break cross-linkers rather than through the tougher polymer chains. Each broken connection follows the path of least resistance but avoiding the long polymer chains means breaking many cross-linkers, which requires more stretching force overall. This isn’t the first time researchers have used weak connectors to make polymers stronger. But unlike in similar materials, the increased toughness doesn’t come at the expense of other beneficial properties like stiffness (风度). Craig says he hopes the findings will help extend the lifetimes of car tires and plastics, potentially limiting annual microplastic pollution. 8. What benefit does the new material bring? A. It meets the road standard. B. It weakens plastic polymers. C It releases less microplastics. D. It reduces the cost of car tires. 9. What can we know about the tangle material? A. It follows the pattern of spaghetti. B. It is designed to fall apart easily. C. The polymers help keep its shape. D. The larger tangle is harder to break. 10. What is the primary factor that contributes to the increased toughness? A. The weakness of the cross-linker. B. The strength of the polymer chains. C. The number of the cross-linkers used. D. The path the tear takes through the material. 11. What can we learn about the finding? A. It initially uses weak connectors. B. It sacrifices stiffness for toughness. C. It lengthens the lifespan of car tires. D. It removes annual microplastic pollution. D Ever feel disconnected during a stressful event? That could be your brain protecting you. During traumatic (痛苦的) situations, people might experience an unexpected wave of emotional indifference or feel like they’ve separated from reality and are having an out-of-body experience. These symptoms of disconnect describe dissociation, a defense mechanism that separates threatening feelings and ideas from the rest of someone’s mind. But why do our minds sometimes dissociate when we’re experiencing stressful events? Typically, the sympathetic nervous system, which is responsible for our “fight or flight” response, activates when a person is in upcoming physical danger. Mammals, including humans, evolved to have this response, as it pushes them to survive by fighting or escaping from danger. Dissociation is another way the nervous system is ready to respond to trauma when fight or flight appears to be too dangerous or impossible. Dissociation can protect someone in the moment so that they are mentally separated from a situation causing physical pain, emotional pain or both. Oftentimes, victims of abuse report dissociation during the event or having foggy memories of an event after the fact due to dissociation. Nevertheless, problems can arise if people continue to dissociate even once they’re separated from the intense trauma, as opposed to relying on other coping mechanisms, for example, help from a professional. Many people who continue to dissociate often struggle with daily stress, like meeting work deadlines or speaking with peers. Many feel disconnected in their relationships and may find themselves unconcentrated during what used to be usual interactions or tasks. But the goal of addressing long-term dissociation isn’t to do away with it. After all, it can be a useful strategy to help survive a dangerous situation. But memories of the traumatic event are often disruptive and painful, so having some distance from that could mean a better quality of life after the trauma. 12. What is the main idea of Paragraph 1? A. It defines what dissociation is. B. It emphasizes the value of dissociation. C. It lists different symptoms of disconnect. D. It explains why we experience stressful events. 13. How does dissociation work on victims of abuse? A. By erasing their memories. B. By getting rid of their emotional pain. C. By protecting victims from physical pain. D. By distancing the victims mentally from the reality. 14 What might happen if people continue to dissociate? A. Failing to focus on tasks. B. Meeting work deadlines. C. Having a better quality of life. D. Relying on other coping mechanisms. 15. Which of the following might the author agree with? A. Traumatic events are avoidable. B. Dissociation needs to be handled properly. C. People’s well-being is based on the distance. D. There’re enough coping strategies for traumas. 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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Waking up at the crack of dawn and going for a run might feel awful when you start trying to make it a habit.
