Aarrav’s interest in creating a smart spoon came from seeing his uncle Arjun who has Parkinson’s disease struggling to feed himself. This disease affects the brain and leads to involuntary shaking. Hence, food kept spilling out of his mouth and onto his clothing. Aarrav wanted his uncle to be able to eat by himself with dignity. Aarrav took to his room with microcontrollers, motors, sensors and a 3-D printer. Not everything went smoothly. “It was frustrating not being able to find the tiny electronics parts I needed here in India. I had to order some from China, but they took ages to arrive,” Aarrav said. Through tireless efforts, Aarrav made a first model but the handle was too slippery for his uncle to use so he had to change it. Then the prototype (雏形) went to be tested at the RV College of Physiotherapy in Bengaluru. “I’ve been fine tuning the design based on the college’s feedback — that it needs to be waterproof (防水的) so that it can be washed without damaging all the electronics inside; and that it must be detachable (可拆卸的) so it can be cleaned and replaced by a fork,” Aarrav said. The trials being conducted at the college are expected to be completed by early 2025 and the results will be published in a medical journal. Aarrav hopes that his smart spoon will begin to be produced on a small scale when the testing is complete. While other smart spoons already exist and two US companies are already producing their own versions, the cost is too high for most Indians. Aarrav’s version is estimated to cost around $80. His hope is that everyone with Parkinson’s disease will have access to a smart spoon. 24. What can Aarrav’s invention help people with Parkinson’s disease do? A. Maintain their physical balance. B. Boost their mood and relieve stress. C. Rid them of uncontrollable shaking. D. Feed themselves much more easily. 25. What is emphasized about the invention of the smart spoon in Paragraph 3? A. Its challenges. B. Its popularity. C. Its functions. D. Its application. 26. Which can best replace the underlined word “tuning” in Paragraph 4? A. Publicizing. B. Adjusting. C. Outlining. D. Simplifying. 27. Which of the following best describes Aarrav? A. Persevering and sociable. B. Intelligent and humble. C. Ambitious and caring. D. Sensitive and genuine. 【答案】24. D 25. A 26. B 27. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Aarrav发明智能勺子的原因和过程。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段中“Aarrav Anil, the 17-year-old student with a passion for robotics from Bengraluro, invented a smart spoon that can help people with Parkinson’s disease eat with dignity.(来自班加罗尔的17岁学生Aarrav Anil对机器人技术充满热情，他发明了一种智能勺子，可以帮助帕金森病患者有尊严地吃饭)”可知，Aarrav的发明能帮助帕金森氏症患者更容易地自己进食。故选D。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段中“Not everything went smoothly.‘It was frustrating not being able to find the tiny electronics parts I needed here in India. I had to order some from China, but they took ages to arrive.’Aarrav said. Through tireless efforts, Aarrav made a first model but the handle was too slippery for his uncle to use so he had to change it.(并不是一切都很顺利。“在印度找不到我需要的微型电子部件，我很沮丧。我不得不从中国订购一些，但它们花了很长时间才到。”Aarrav说。通过不知疲倦的努力。Aarrav做了第一个模型，但把手太滑了，他的叔叔无法使用，所以他不得不更换它)”可知，Aarrav在采购原件和设计中都遇到了困难。由此可知，第三段强调了智能勺子的发明过程中所面临的挑战。故选A。 【26题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第四段划线词后“the design based on the college’s feedback — that it needs to be waterproof (防水的) so that it can be washed without damaging all the electronics inside; that it must be detachable (可拆卸的) so it can be cleaned and replaced by a fork, (根据学院的反馈，它需要防水，这样在清洗时不会损坏里面的所有电子设备；它必须是可拆卸的，这样就可以清洁和更换叉子)”可知，Aarrav根据学院的反馈对智能勺子进行调整，推测划线词的意思是“调整”。故选B。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Aarrav hopes that his smart spoon will begin to be produced on a small scale when the testing is complete. While other smart spoons already exist and two US companies are already producing their own versions, the cost is too high for most Indians. Aarrav’s version is estimated to cost around $80. His hope is that everyone with Parkinson’s disease will have access to a smart spoon.(Aarrav希望他的智能勺子能在测试完成后开始小规模生产虽然其他的智能勺子已经存在，两家美国公司已经在生产自己的版本，但对大多数印度人来说，成本太高了。Aarrav的版本估计售价在80美元左右。他希望每个患有帕金森氏症的人都能使用一个智能勺子)”可知，他希望他的产品能投产，让患有帕金森氏症的人使用便宜的智能勺子，由此可推知，他是有雄心且有爱心的。故选C。 C In today’s digital age, where a vast ocean of information is just a click away, the question arises: can one learn too much? Given that no individual can grasp the entirety of human knowledge. However, there exists a phenomenon where excessive learning can lead to inaction, a state of being overwhelmed by too much information. Consider a situation where you’re eager to achieve a particular goal. You begin by conducting extensive research, diving deep into the subject. As you absorb more information, it paradoxically (矛盾地) feels like your understanding weakens. Each new concept or strategy reveals further layers, making the goal seem more complex and out of reach. This situation is a common trap: the endless pursuit of more information. Although gaining comprehensive knowledge is valuable, that is to say there’s nothing wrong with learning a lot, issues arise when this pursuit obstructs practical application. If learning continuously prevents you from starting, you’ll find yourself stuck, unable to achieve your desired outcomes. An alternative and more effective approach to achieving goals is to strike a balance between learning and doing. Gather essential information, then transition into action swiftly, even if you feel somewhat unprepared. This is often the best way to learn, as hands-on experience provides insights that theoretical knowledge alone cannot. The comparison with a baby learning to walk is a good example here. A baby doesn’t learn to walk by sitting and analyzing the process. Instead, it learns by attempting to walk, falling, and then understanding from each fall what works and what doesn’t. Through repeated effort, walking is eventually mastered. This method is applicable to goal achievement too. By engaging in action, learning from the outcomes, and adjusting accordingly, you gradually move closer to your goals. In summary, while the pursuit of knowledge is valuable, it’s crucial not to let it become a barrier to action. Learning should be a stepping stone to doing, not an end in itself. It’s through the interplay of gathering knowledge and applying it that we can truly progress towards our ambitions. 28. What stops people from achieving the goal? A. The distraction caused by unrelated tasks. B. The inability to find relevant information. C. The confusion caused by the information. D. The desire to learn basic concept or strategy. 29. What does the author try to advocate in paragraph 3&4? A. Sticking to continuous learning B. Taking practical action without delay. C. Gaining as much knowledge as possible. D. Prioritizing theoretical knowledge in study. 30. Why is the example “baby learning to walk” mentioned in Paragraph 5? A. To compare different learning styles. B. To show the importance of making mistakes. C. To emphasize the need for parental guidance. D. To illustrate learning through action and experience. 31. What makes the best title for the passage? A. The Harmony of Learning and Doing. B. The Process of Accessing Information. C. The Pursuit of Advanced Knowledge. D. The significance of Hands-on Experience. 【答案】28. C 29. B 30. D 31. A 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇说明文。在数字时代，过量的信息会造成学习停滞的问题，因此，在学习过程中，实践经验能帮助我们更全面的理解学习的知识，从而实现目标。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“However, there exists a phenomenon where excessive learning can lead to inaction, a state of being overwhelmed by too much information.(然而，有一种现象是，过度学习可能导致无所作为，一种被太多信息淹没的状态。)”可知，数字时代给学习提供太多的信息，这些信息给人们带来困惑，由此可知，是这些信息带来的困惑阻止了人们达到学习的目标。故选C项。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“This situation is a common trap: the endless pursuit of more information. Although gaining comprehensive knowledge is valuable, that is to say there’s nothing wrong with learning a lot, issues arise when this pursuit obstructs practical application. (这种情况是一个常见的陷阱:无休止地追求更多的信息。虽然获得全面的知识是有价值的，也就是说，学习很多知识并没有错，但当这种追求阻碍了实际应用时，问题就出现了。)”可知，作者认为学习很多知识并没有错，但当这种追求阻碍了实际应用时，就出现了问题，结合第四段中的“An alternative and more effective approach to achieving goals is to strike a balance between learning and doing.(实现目标的另一种更有效的方法是在学习和实践之间取得平衡。)”可知，在学习与实践之间要寻求一种平衡，由此可推断，作者是建议人们要立刻采取实际行动。故选B项。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第三段中的“This is often the best way to learn, as hands-on experience provides insights that theoretical knowledge alone cannot.(这通常是最好的学习方式，因为实践经验提供了理论知识无法提供的见解。)”可知，学习的最好方法是通过实践去积累经验，结合第五段“A baby doesn’t learn to walk by sitting and analyzing the process. Instead, it learns by attempting to walk, falling, and then understanding from each fall what works and what doesn’t. Through repeated effort, walking is eventually mastered. This method is applicable to goal achievement too. By engaging in action, learning from the outcomes, and adjusting accordingly, you gradually move closer to your goals.(婴儿不是通过坐着和分析走路的过程来学习走路的。相反，它通过尝试走路和摔倒来学习，然后从每次跌倒中了解什么有用，什么没用。通过反复的努力，最终学会了走路。这种方法也适用于目标实现。通过参与行动，从结果中学习，并做出相应的调整，你会逐渐接近你的目标)”可知，婴儿是通过不断的实践学习走路，在行动中不断地积累经验，由此可知，第五段通过“婴儿学习走路”的例子来解释通过行动和经验来学习这个观点。故选D项。 31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章全文，尤其是最后一段“In summary, while the pursuit of knowledge is valuable, it’s crucial not to let it become a barrier to action. Learning should be a stepping stone to doing, not an end in itself. It’s through the interplay of gathering knowledge and applying it that we can truly progress towards our aspirations.(总之，虽然追求知识是有价值的，但重要的是不要让它成为行动的障碍。学习应该是行动的垫脚石，而不是目的本身。只有通过收集知识和应用知识的相互作用，我们才能真正朝着我们的愿望前进。)”可知，在追求知识价值时，不能将其称为行动的障碍，由此可知，本文介绍在学习过程中，应将信息和实践相结合，这样能更好地实现目标，所以题目“学与做的和谐”与本文主旨相符。故选A项。 D As the climate continues to get warmer, the glaciers (冰川) are melting and the sea levels are rising. As it affects the land, mountains are taller than before. How does this happen? Scientists studied the last ice age, which occurred 16,000 years ago when much of Earth’s Northern Hemisphere was covered in ice. Although the ice melted long ago, Earth’s crust (地壳) is still rising and sinking in reaction to its previous ice age burden. This movement is called glacial isostatic adjustment (冰川均衡调整). Scientists believe that an ice sheet about 800 meters thick could cause a depression (洼地) about 275 meters deep, according to the Smithsonian Magazine. “As the ice sheets began to melt around 11,700 years ago, the glaciers cleared large and heavy masses, allowing the mountains to rise up,” US geologist Mike Kaplan told the Columbia Climate Scehool website. Recent studies suggest that land in southeast Alaska is rising at a rate of about 3centimeters per year. Families living on the coast welcome this “new” land, according to The New York Times. However, they soon find themselves in a trap. As the land uplifts and coastal areas move away from the sea, rivers can dry up more easily, making it harder for them to reach the sea. This could result in a reduction in water resources, affecting animals and creatures living in the rivers. Researchers are concerned that this may make a challenge to fishermen, as raising fish in these areas could become more difficult. While the depression of Earth’s crust springs back slowly, once uplifted areas are sinking. For example, a 2015 study suggests that the Chesapeake Bay on the eastern coast of the US could sink more than 15 centimeters by 2100. This sinking trend also suggests that these areas may experience more significant impacts from a rise in sea levels. 32. What can we learn about glacial isostatie adjustment? A. It mainly happened during the last ice age. B. It causes the ice sheets to melt. C. It becomes a burden of the earth. D. It affects the land’s height above sea level. 33. How do the local people probably feel according to paragraph 4? A. Concerned. B. Surprised. C. Annoyed. D. Puzzled. 34. What challenge might the Chesapeake Bay face in the future? A. More serious sea pollution. B. Lower sea level. C. Increased coastal flooding. D. Rapid land uplift. 35. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text? A. Climate Change Is Causing Higher Sea Level B. Melting Glaciers Are Making Mountains Taller C. Global Warming Is Affecting Ecosystem D. Glacial Melting Is Picking Up Speed 【答案】32. D 33. A 34. C 35. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章主要是关于冰川融化对陆地的影响，山比以前更高。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Although the ice melted long ago, Earth’s crust (地壳) is still rising and sinking in reaction to its previous ice age burden. This movement is called glacial isostatic adjustment (冰川均衡调整).(虽然冰很久以前就融化了，但地壳仍然在上升和下降，这是对之前冰河时代的负担的反应。这种运动被称为冰川均衡调整)”可知，冰川均衡调整影响陆地的海拔高度，故选D。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Researchers are concerned that this may make a challenge to fishermen, as raising fish in these areas could become more difficult.(研究人员担心，这可能会给渔民带来挑战，因为在这些地区养鱼可能会变得更加困难)”可知，渔民养鱼可能会变得更加困难，由此推知当地人可能会感到担心，故选A。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“For example, a 2015 study suggests that the Chesapeake Bay on the eastern coast of the US could sink more than 15 centimeters by 2100. This sinking trend also suggests that these areas may experience more significant impacts from a rise in sea levels.(例如，2015年的一项研究表明，到2100年，美国东海岸的切萨皮克湾可能会下沉15厘米以上。这种下沉趋势还表明，这些地区可能会受到海平面上升的更大影响)”可知，切萨皮克湾未来可能会下沉15厘米以上，该地区可能会受到海平面上升的更大影响，故未来可能面临沿海洪水的增加，故选C。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文内容，结合第一段“As the climate continues to get warmer, the glaciers (冰川) are melting and the sea levels are rising. As it affects the land, mountains are taller than before. How does this happen?(随着气候持续变暖，冰川正在融化，海平面正在上升。由于它对陆地的影响，山比以前高了。这是怎么发生的？)”可知，文章主要是关于冰川融化对陆地的影响，山比以前更高，B项“冰川融化使山脉变得更高”为最佳标题，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。 The Best Ways to Deal with Awkward Silences We all know what it’s like when a conversation dies off and you’re left to sit in silence together. There’s only one word to describe it: Awkward! _____36_____. Here are some ways to deal with the silences. Think of topics ahead of time. Before attending a social event, think of a few “‘go-to” topics to jumpstart a dead conversation. _____37_____. So you aren’t scrambling (绞尽脑汁) for words in the moment. People who share your interest in a sport or hobby can be the easiest to talk to. Ask open-ended questions. Open-ended questions have more than one possible answer, so they are likely to get the person talking more than asking a question that will result in a short response. Ask “_____38_____?” instead of asking “Did you like your high school?” Make a general statement to fill the silence. Find something casual (随意的) to comment on if things start getting awkward. _____39_____. If you are having a meal together, you could say something about the food: “Is it me, or is this the best salad place in town?” Not only does that break the silence, but raising a question gives the other person a chance to respond. _____40_____. This is always a safe bet, as long as it’s appropriate. For example, you could say, “ I’ve been meaning to tell you I really like your shirt. Where did you get it?” This could move the conversation in another direction while making the other person feel good. Stick to complimenting (赞扬) someone’s personality or achievements if you’re trying to make small talk. A. Give a compliment B. Create a conversation C. This will help you to fill the silences D. What did you like about your highschool E. The open-ended questions are adapted to you F. A good way to do this is to make a comment of observation G. Thankfully, filling these silences isn’t as difficult as it may seem 【答案】36. G 37. C 38. D 39. F 40. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了几种处理尴尬沉默的方法。 【36题详解】 根据上文“We all know what it’s like when a conversation dies off and you’re left to sit in silence together. There’s only one word to describe it: Awkward!(我们都知道，当谈话结束，你们只能静静地坐在一起是什么感觉。只有一个词可以形容：尴尬！)”结合后文是填补尴尬沉默的方法，可知，本句主要说明填补尴尬沉默并不是那么困难，故G选项“值得庆幸的是，填补这些沉默并不像看起来那么困难”符合语境，故选G。 【37题详解】 根据上文“Think of topics ahead of time. Before attending a social event, think of a few “go-to” topics to jumpstart a dead conversation.(提前想好话题。在参加社交活动之前，想几个“热门”话题来开始一场无聊的谈话)”以及后文“So you aren’t scrambling (绞尽脑汁) for words in the moment. People who share your interest in a sport or hobby can be the easiest to talk to.(这样你就不用在此时绞尽脑汁地找词了。在某项运动或爱好上和你有共同兴趣的人是最容易交谈的)”可知，本句主要解释准备话题能帮助你填补尴尬沉默，故C选项“这将帮助你填补沉默”符合语境，故选C。 【38题详解】 根据上文“Ask open-ended questions. Open-ended questions have more than one possible answer, so they are likely to get the person talking more than asking a question that will result in a short response.(问开放式的问题。开放式问题有不止一个可能的答案，所以他们可能会让对方说得更多，而不是问一个会导致简短回答的问题)”以及后文“instead of asking “Did you like your high school?”(而不是问“你喜欢你的高中吗？”)”可知，本句主要针对问正确的开放问题进行举例说明。故D选项“你喜欢你高中的什么”符合语境，故选D。 【39题详解】 根据上文“Find something casual (随意的) to comment on if things start getting awkward.(如果事情开始变得尴尬，找一些随意的话题来评论)”以及后文“If you are having a meal together, you could say something about the food: “Is it me, or is this the best salad place in town?” Not only does that break the silence, but raising a question gives the other person a chance to respond.(如果你们在一起吃饭，你可以谈论食物：“是我的问题，还是这是镇上最好的沙拉店？”这不仅打破了沉默，而且提出问题也给了对方一个回应的机会)”可知，空格前面句子提到，如果事情开始变得尴尬，找一些随意的话题来评论。空格处后面的句子是参加晚宴对食物的评论，也就是说，与人沟通时为了不造成尴尬，你可以对看到的事物做一番评论，故F选项“这样做的一个好方法是对观察结果进行评论”符合语境，故选F。 【40题详解】 根据后文“This is always a safe bet, as long as it’s appropriate. For example, you could say, “ I’ve been meaning to tell you I really like your shirt. Where did you get it?” This could move the conversation in another direction while making the other person feel good. Stick to complimenting (赞扬) someone’s personality or achievements if you’re trying to make small talk.(只要合适，这总是一个安全的赌注。例如，你可以说，“我一直想告诉你，我真的很喜欢你的衬衫。你从哪儿买的？”这可以使谈话转向另一个方向，同时使对方感觉良好。如果你想和别人闲聊，那就赞美他的个性或成就吧)”可知，本段讲述的是，如果你想和别人闲聊，就要赞美他，这可以使对方感觉良好，故A选项“赞美”符合语境，故选A。 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。 I live in a town, about half a mile from the banks of a river, It had been raining buckets that week and there were ____41____ warnings for nearby areas, but not where I was.

I worked hard to earn exceptional marks and always tried to behave well. I was younger than everyone else because my good marks had allowed me to skip second grade, but this added nothing to my already low self-confidence. When I was 14, my parents divorced (离婚). I moved in with my dad in a new neighborhood, but he was always so busy and had little time for me. It seemed the only time he ever spoke to me was to be demanding or critical. I began to hate coming home from school every day. I sank further into my low self-esteem (自尊心) and was overwhelmed with feeling unappreciated and alone. One day, my aunt called. This seemed like a miracle (奇迹) to me. Aunt Ginette usually only called once a year, on my birthday. She said she had just seen some young teenagers participate in a public speaking contest, and she thought I should try it, too. She told me she firmly believed I could perform on stage like the other kids since she had seen me do skits (幽默小品) for the family at Christmas. I was a little surprised. Me? Onstage? In a public speaking contest? I was hesitant. But Aunt Ginette was so confident and seemed really serious. Feeling her strong belief, I went against all odds and agreed to enter the contest. All that winter, twice a week after dinner, I took three different buses for the three-hour round-trip to practice in Ville d’Anjou, where the competition would take place. Although my dad really did love me and wanted the best for me, he disapproved of this new dream, fearing it would take away from my homework time and impact my academic performance. But I remained a top performer in school and never missed a day. 注意: 1.续写词数应为 150 左右; 2.请按如下格式在答题卷的相应位置作答。 Four months later, the big night arrived. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When I saw my father’s face, his eyes were shining－he was so proud. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Four months later, the big night arrived. Waiting anxiously alongside the other competitors, I couldn’t keep from trembling. Taking a deep breath, I tried my best to control my emotions, murmuring to myself, “You can do it!” Finally, it was my turn. I adjusted my clothes, confidently rose to my feet and strode (大步走) onto the stage. I stood there and firmly began my speech, which I had practiced hundreds of times. Words smoothly flew out of my mouth like a beautiful melody, and it was then that I spotted my father in the audience. When I saw my father’s face, his eyes were shining－he was so proud. Somehow, I gained energy from his expression and finished the speech smoothly. Sitting by my dad, I waited for the result and the previous tightness was replaced by a sense of relief. Dad gently patted my shoulder, saying, “Well done,” and gave me a big hug. “I now realize how wrong I was to criticize you all the time. I should have appreciated you more.” Hearing this, tears welled up in my eyes, blurring the surroundings. It turned out I got the first prize and we cheered happily. Since then, I have looked at the world with brand-new confidence, heading toward my bright future. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者小时候非常敏感和害羞，努力学习以获得优异的成绩。作者14岁时，父母离婚，作者跟随父亲一起生活，但是父亲很忙，很少有时间陪作者。似乎他唯一一次对作者说话就是提出要求或批评，为此作者对自己没有什么信心。一天作者的阿姨打电话让他参加公开演讲比赛，刚开始作者犹豫不决，但是阿姨鼓励他，相信他，最终作者同意参加比赛。之后一整个冬天，作者都每周两次在晚饭后乘坐三辆不同的巴士往返三个小时，前往比赛举办地进行训练。最终作者顺利完成了比赛，获得了一等奖，作者的父亲意识到自己应该欣赏孩子而不是批评。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“四个月后，重要的夜晚到来了。”可知，第一段可描写作者参加比赛时很紧张，但努力控制自己的情绪，在台上流利地演讲。 ②由第二段首句内容“当我看到父亲的脸时，他的眼睛闪闪发光——他是那么自豪。”可知，第二段可描写作者从父亲自豪的眼神获得力量顺利完成比赛。赛后，父亲鼓励称赞作者，意识到自己应该多欣赏作者而不是批评，作者听到父亲的话后很感动，最后作者获得了一等奖。 2.续写线索：上台演讲——紧张——深呼吸，鼓励自己——站在舞台上流利地演讲——看到父亲自豪的眼神——获得力量顺利完成比赛——父亲意识到自己应该多欣赏作者而不是批评——作者感动——获得第一名——自此作者很自信 3.词汇激活行为类 ①低语：murmur/whisper ②认出：spot/identify ③获得：gain/get/acquire 情绪类 ①不安地：anxiously/restlessly ②高兴地：happily/gladly 【点睛】[高分句型1] I stood there and firmly began my speech, which I had practiced hundreds of times.（由运用了which引导的非限制定语从句） [高分句型2]I now realize how wrong I was to criticize you all the time. （由关how引导的宾语从句） [高分句型3]Hearing this, tears welled up in my eyes, blurring the surroundings.（由现在分词作状语） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 济宁市实验中学2022级高二下学期期中考试 英语试题 注意事项: 1. 答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号等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 听力(共两节，满分30分) 做题时，请先将答案标在试卷上，录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 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。 例：How much is the shirt?

B Aarrav Anil, the 17-year-old student with a passion for robotics from Bengraluro, invented a smart spoon that can help people with Parkinson’s disease eat with dignity. Aarrav’s interest in creating a smart spoon came from seeing his uncle Arjun who has Parkinson’s disease struggling to feed himself. This disease affects the brain and leads to involuntary shaking. Hence, food kept spilling out of his mouth and onto his clothing. Aarrav wanted his uncle to be able to eat by himself with dignity. Aarrav took to his room with microcontrollers, motors, sensors and a 3-D printer. Not everything went smoothly. “It was frustrating not being able to find the tiny electronics parts I needed here in India. I had to order some from China, but they took ages to arrive,” Aarrav said. Through tireless efforts, Aarrav made a first model but the handle was too slippery for his uncle to use so he had to change it. Then the prototype (雏形) went to be tested at the RV College of Physiotherapy in Bengaluru. “I’ve been fine tuning the design based on the college’s feedback — that it needs to be waterproof (防水的) so that it can be washed without damaging all the electronics inside; and that it must be detachable (可拆卸的) so it can be cleaned and replaced by a fork,” Aarrav said. The trials being conducted at the college are expected to be completed by early 2025 and the results will be published in a medical journal. Aarrav hopes that his smart spoon will begin to be produced on a small scale when the testing is complete. While other smart spoons already exist and two US companies are already producing their own versions, the cost is too high for most Indians. Aarrav’s version is estimated to cost around $80. His hope is that everyone with Parkinson’s disease will have access to a smart spoon. 24. What can Aarrav’s invention help people with Parkinson’s disease do? A. Maintain their physical balance. B. Boost their mood and relieve stress. C. Rid them of uncontrollable shaking. D. Feed themselves much more easily. 25. What is emphasized about the invention of the smart spoon in Paragraph 3? A. Its challenges. B. Its popularity. C. Its functions. D. Its application. 26. Which can best replace the underlined word “tuning” in Paragraph 4? A. Publicizing. B. Adjusting. C. Outlining. D. Simplifying. 27. Which of the following best describes Aarrav? A. Persevering and sociable. B. Intelligent and humble. C Ambitious and caring. D. Sensitive and genuine. C In today’s digital age, where a vast ocean of information is just a click away, the question arises: can one learn too much? Given that no individual can grasp the entirety of human knowledge. However, there exists a phenomenon where excessive learning can lead to inaction, a state of being overwhelmed by too much information. Consider a situation where you’re eager to achieve a particular goal. You begin by conducting extensive research, diving deep into the subject. As you absorb more information, it paradoxically (矛盾地) feels like your understanding weakens. Each new concept or strategy reveals further layers, making the goal seem more complex and out of reach. This situation is a common trap: the endless pursuit of more information. Although gaining comprehensive knowledge is valuable, that is to say there’s nothing wrong with learning a lot, issues arise when this pursuit obstructs practical application. If learning continuously prevents you from starting, you’ll find yourself stuck, unable to achieve your desired outcomes. An alternative and more effective approach to achieving goals is to strike a balance between learning and doing. Gather essential information, then transition into action swiftly, even if you feel somewhat unprepared. This is often the best way to learn, as hands-on experience provides insights that theoretical knowledge alone cannot. The comparison with a baby learning to walk is a good example here. A baby doesn’t learn to walk by sitting and analyzing the process. Instead, it learns by attempting to walk, falling, and then understanding from each fall what works and what doesn’t. Through repeated effort, walking is eventually mastered. This method is applicable to goal achievement too. By engaging in action, learning from the outcomes, and adjusting accordingly, you gradually move closer to your goals. In summary, while the pursuit of knowledge is valuable, it’s crucial not to let it become a barrier to action. Learning should be a stepping stone to doing, not an end in itself. It’s through the interplay of gathering knowledge and applying it that we can truly progress towards our ambitions. 28. What stops people from achieving the goal? A. The distraction caused by unrelated tasks. B. The inability to find relevant information. C. The confusion caused by the information. D. The desire to learn basic concept or strategy. 29. What does the author try to advocate in paragraph 3&4? A. Sticking to continuous learning B. Taking practical action without delay. C. Gaining as much knowledge as possible. D. Prioritizing theoretical knowledge in study. 30. Why is the example “baby learning to walk” mentioned in Paragraph 5? A. To compare different learning styles. B To show the importance of making mistakes. C. To emphasize the need for parental guidance. D. To illustrate learning through action and experience. 31. What makes the best title for the passage? A. The Harmony of Learning and Doing. B. The Process of Accessing Information. C. The Pursuit of Advanced Knowledge. D. The significance of Hands-on Experience. D As the climate continues to get warmer, the glaciers (冰川) are melting and the sea levels are rising. As it affects the land, mountains are taller than before. How does this happen? Scientists studied the last ice age, which occurred 16,000 years ago when much of Earth’s Northern Hemisphere was covered in ice. Although the ice melted long ago, Earth’s crust (地壳) is still rising and sinking in reaction to its previous ice age burden. This movement is called glacial isostatic adjustment (冰川均衡调整). Scientists believe that an ice sheet about 800 meters thick could cause a depression (洼地) about 275 meters deep, according to the Smithsonian Magazine. “As the ice sheets began to melt around 11,700 years ago, the glaciers cleared large and heavy masses, allowing the mountains to rise up,” US geologist Mike Kaplan told the Columbia Climate Scehool website. Recent studies suggest that land in southeast Alaska is rising at a rate of about 3centimeters per year. Families living on the coast welcome this “new” land, according to The New York Times. However, they soon find themselves in a trap. As the land uplifts and coastal areas move away from the sea, rivers can dry up more easily, making it harder for them to reach the sea. This could result in a reduction in water resources, affecting animals and creatures living in the rivers. Researchers are concerned that this may make a challenge to fishermen, as raising fish in these areas could become more difficult. While the depression of Earth’s crust springs back slowly, once uplifted areas are sinking. For example, a 2015 study suggests that the Chesapeake Bay on the eastern coast of the US could sink more than 15 centimeters by 2100. This sinking trend also suggests that these areas may experience more significant impacts from a rise in sea levels. 32. What can we learn about glacial isostatie adjustment? A. It mainly happened during the last ice age. B. It causes the ice sheets to melt. C. It becomes a burden of the earth. D. It affects the land’s height above sea level. 33. How do the local people probably feel according to paragraph 4? A. Concerned. B. Surprised. C. Annoyed. D. Puzzled. 34 What challenge might the Chesapeake Bay face in the future? A. More serious sea pollution. B. Lower sea level. C. Increased coastal flooding. D. Rapid land uplift. 35. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text? A. Climate Change Is Causing Higher Sea Level B. Melting Glaciers Are Making Mountains Taller C. Global Warming Is Affecting Ecosystem D. Glacial Melting Is Picking Up Speed 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。 The Best Ways to Deal with Awkward Silences We all know what it’s like when a conversation dies off and you’re left to sit in silence together.

Before attending a social event, think of a few “‘go-to” topics to jumpstart a dead conversation. _____37_____. So you aren’t scrambling (绞尽脑汁) for words in the moment. People who share your interest in a sport or hobby can be the easiest to talk to. Ask open-ended questions.

Find something casual (随意的) to comment on if things start getting awkward. _____39_____. If you are having a meal together, you could say something about the food: “Is it me, or is this the best salad place in town?” Not only does that break the silence, but raising a question gives the other person a chance to respond. _____40_____. This is always a safe bet, as long as it’s appropriate. For example, you could say, “ I’ve been meaning to tell you I really like your shirt. Where did you get it?” This could move the conversation in another direction while making the other person feel good. Stick to complimenting (赞扬) someone’s personality or achievements if you’re trying to make small talk. A. Give a compliment B. Create a conversation C. This will help you to fill the silences D.

I worked hard to earn exceptional marks and always tried to behave well. I was younger than everyone else because my good marks had allowed me to skip second grade, but this added nothing to my already low self-confidence. When I was 14, my parents divorced (离婚). I moved in with my dad in a new neighborhood, but he was always so busy and had little time for me. It seemed the only time he ever spoke to me was to be demanding or critical. I began to hate coming home from school every day. I sank further into my low self-esteem (自尊心) and was overwhelmed with feeling unappreciated and alone. One day, my aunt called. This seemed like a miracle (奇迹) to me. Aunt Ginette usually only called once a year, on my birthday. She said she had just seen some young teenagers participate in a public speaking contest, and she thought I should try it, too. She told me she firmly believed I could perform on stage like the other kids since she had seen me do skits (幽默小品) for the family at Christmas. I was a little surprised. Me? Onstage? In a public speaking contest? I was hesitant. But Aunt Ginette was so confident and seemed really serious. Feeling her strong belief, I went against all odds and agreed to enter the contest. All that winter, twice a week after dinner, I took three different buses for the three-hour round-trip to practice in Ville d’Anjou, where the competition would take place. Although my dad really did love me and wanted the best for me, he disapproved of this new dream, fearing it would take away from my homework time and impact my academic performance. But I remained a top performer in school and never missed a day. 注意: 1.续写词数应为 150 左右; 2.请按如下格式在答题卷的相应位置作答。 Four months later, the big night arrived. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When I saw my father’s face, his eyes were shining－he was so proud. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
