The following are four historic theatres in America. Pantages Theatre, Minneapolis, MN The Pantages Theatre, which now seats 1,014, opened in 1916 as part of Alexander Pantages’s well-known group of theatres. It was designed by the local firm Kees and Colburn. In 1922, the theatres was rebuilt by Scottish theatres architect Benjamin Marcus Priteca. After going through several owners, in 1984, it was closed and remained unopened until 1996. Some theatre supporters had it repaired and improved, resulting in its reopening in 2002. Saenger Theatre, New Orleans, LA New Orleans’s Saenger Theatre was built two years before the Great Depression, in 1927, and cost a then unheard-of $ 2.5 million. It was designed by Emile Weil, featuring a 15th-century Florentine courtyard and gardens, and Greek and Roman statues. Although the theatre was destroyed by Hurricane Katrina in 2005, after a $ 53 million renovation (修葺), it reopened in 2013. Thalian Hall, Wilmington, NC Thalian Hall has been in almost continuous use since its opening in 1858. It is the only surviving theatre designed by John Montague Trimble, one of America’s foremost 19th-century theatre architects, and originally housed the town government, a library, as well as an “Opera House”, seating 1, 000 people. Some repairs in 1909 led to the removal of the side balconies and the installation of electric stage lights. Providence Performing Arts Center, Providence, RI It was originally opened as a movie palace in 1928, and the silent movies it showed were accompanied by a $ 90, 000 Robert Morton organ. After several decades, the theatre suffered from the increased popularity of television, as well as damage by two hurricanes. Over the past decade and a half, it has undergone extensive renovations and modernization. 21. What can we know about the Pantages Theatre? A. It has a seating capacity of 1, 916. B. It will be turned into a movie house. C. It was designed by Alexander Pantages. D. It was once shut down for over a decade. 22. Of the following theatres, which is the oldest? A. Pantages Theatre. B.

B Torbjorn Pedersen is a Danish traveler who recently finished a trip around the world. But this wasn’t just any trip. In 2013, Mr. Pedersen read an article about someone who had visited all the countries of the world. It made him realize he could set a record by doing the same thing, but without flying. He hoped that he could live on a budget of about $20 a day. He had originally anticipated it would take four years to reach countries, but the world had other plans. Though he did have to quit his job and leave his parents and girlfriend behind, the first part of his trip was pretty easy, but as he moved on to other parts of the world, things began to get hard. To cross large bodies of water, Mr. Pedersen took boats. Sometimes it was hard to find a boat. At other times, Mr. Pedersen was on a boat for days, being tossed (摇摆颠簸) by strong waves during a storm. He traveled by taxi, bus, train, and even walking. With a limited budget, sometimes people invited him into their homes. At other times, he had to sleep outside. Mr. Pedersen says he had many difficult experiences. He was once held at gunpoint and thought he might be killed. He also became severely ill with a serious disease. But he also had many good experiences. Mr. Pedersen says that one reason why he didn’t give up was the help he got from people all over the world. On July 26, Mr. Pedersen arrived back in Denmark after a 33-day boat ride. He was met by about 150 people, including friends and family members. In the last 10 years, he’s covered around 260,000 miles — roughly 10 times the distance around the Earth. Mr. Pedersen says he’s looking forward to some quiet time to think about his trip. After that, he plans to write a book and share what he learned in his travels around the world. 24. What inspired Torbjorn Pedersen to start the trip around the world? A. The dream of setting a world record. B. The knowledge of a stranger’s experience. C. The desire to experience different cultures. D. The encouragement of his parents and girlfriend. 25. How can we understand the underlined sentence in paragraph 3? A. He failed to carry out his plan. B. He finished his trip smoothly as expected. C. He spent more than four years travelling around the world. D. He changed his plans over the course of the trip intentionally. 26. What’s the main idea of the fifth paragraph? A. The help Mr. Pedersen got from others. B. The challenges Mr. Pedersen met on the way. C. The efforts Mr. Pedersen made to achieve his goal. D The inconvenient transportation Mr. Pedersen underwent. 27. Which of the following words can best describe Mr. Pedersen? A. Courageous and determined. B. Ambitious and helpful. C. Sincere and independent. D. Amusing and strong-willed. C A storm hit Houston, Texas, on Tuesday. It brought heavy rains and rising flood-waters. By Tuesday night, some parts of the city had received 10 inches of rain. Police and firefighters helped people move to safe places. They also saved people from cars and buses that were stuck on roads. Certain areas around Houston were hit really hard. In just four hours, more than seven inches of rain fell in Sugar Land in the southwest of Houston. Cars could not pass through any of the areas main roadways. On Twitter, Sugar Land city officials asked people to get to high ground. Tuesday’s rain hit parts of Texas that Hurricane Harvey had already damaged almost two years ago. Hurricane Harvey in August, 2017 was the second most costly hurricane in US history. It caused $125 billion worth of damage in Texas. In the Houston area, 36 people died and about 150, 000 homes were flooded. A spokesman for the Harris County Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Management spoke with the Houston Chronicle. The spokesman said that this week’s rain is “not in any way a Harvey-level event.” But the worst may not be over yet. People will have a break from the heavy rain on Wednesday. According to the National Weather Service, the Texas Gulf Coast will continue to experience heavy rain later in the week. "Today should be our quietest over the next few days for rainfall,” said Don Oettinger, a National Weather Service meteorologist (气象学家). Houston Fire Chief Samuel Peia warned, “As there is too much water on the ground, these are perfect conditions for flash floods, so we hope people are careful of what they’re doing and encourage them to stay home. There’s no sense in putting yourself, firefighters or anybody in danger needlessly.” 28. What are Paragraphs 1 and 2 mainly about? A. Flood damage in Houston. B. Flood prevention in Houston. C. Heavy floods hitting Houston. D. People fighting floods in Houston. 29. What do we know about Hurricane Harvey? A. It caused no deaths or injuries. B. It did a lot of damage to Texas. C. It was less serious than this week’s rain. D. It was the biggest hurricane on record. 30. What can we learn from the weather report of the National Weather Service? A. Fine days are coming. B. It will rain a little non-stop. C. A hurricane is unavoidable. D. Floods will continue. 31. What did Samuel suggest local people do? A. Stay indoors. B. Join firefighters. C. Give up needless things. D. Comfort those who lost homes. D Even though water covers about 71 percent of the Earth’s surface, not all of it is safe to drink. In fact, less than three percent is fresh water, according to the United States Bureau of Reclamation. Most of the water is contained in the oceans and must be desalinated (脱盐)for use. Now researchers from MIT have developed a suitcase-sized desalination device that could be used to produce clean drinking water. The new portable device produces water that actually goes beyond the World Health Organization standards, just by pushing a button, according to a press release from MIT. There are no filters required. The device powered by a small portable solar panel uses electricity to remove salt and other particles from the saltwater. This eliminates the need for repeatedly checking or repairing it. Now most available portable desalination units use filters that require high-pressure pumps to push the water, which makes them heavier and less energy efficient. The filterless feature of the new device will allow it to be used in faraway places or places with limited resources like small islands and ships, and even for emergencies. “This is really the highest point of a 10-year journey that I and my group have been on. We worked for years on the physics behind individual desalination processes, but pushing all those advances into a box, building a system, and testing it in the ocean were really meaningful experiences for me,” says Jongyoon Han, the senior author of the study. After the researchers ran tests in the lab, the device was ready for field tests. At Boston’s Carson Beach, the device filled a plastic drinking cup with clear, drinkable water in just half an hour. Now the researchers are still working on a final design that could use cheaper materials so that it can be available to the general public, and a new model of the device could be ready by the end of 2022. This small but powerful desalination unit may be the key to bringing safe water to a thirsty world. 32. What does the underlined word “eliminates” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Proves. B. Creates. C. Satisfies. D. Removes. 33. What can we infer about the device from Paragraph 3? A. It allows high production of clean water. B. It makes a breakthrough in application C. It may provide power for faraway places D. It can replace most desalination devices. 34. What do Jongyoon Han’s words suggest? A. The public thinks highly of the device B. The testing system for the device has been out of date. C. Developing the device is challenging but worthwhile. D. Further studies are needed before marketing the device. 35. Which aspect of the device are the researchers trying to improve? A. Its affordability. B. The energy it needs. C. Its performance in dry areas. D. The purity of the water it produces. 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。 Reading is often seen as an individual activity, but it definitely doesn’t have to be.

The boys always thought they would merely select those who had the physique(体格)and skills to represent their team. One day, the team’s “head”, as they called him, Jake, was busy playing soccer with his friends when the newcomer, Sam, in their class walked over. The little boy called out saying he was ready to play, but Jake’s team paused and turned in disbelief, staring at the boy’s artificial leg. “How on earth will you play for us with that artificial leg?” Jake said. Sam got depressed when Jake’s words echoed in his ears. He almost cried but he didn’t want his tears to weaken him in front of the boys. Meanwhile, Mr. Jones, the school’s physical trainer, saw the whole thing from his office window. After the practice session, he walked over to Jake and took him aside for a word in private. “I saw what happened, and if I’m not wrong, you sent away that newcomer, right?” Mr. Jones asked Jake. “Do you have any idea who he is?” Jake was shocked after Mr. Jones revealed Sam’s background. As it turned out, Sam was captain of the soccer team in his previous school. He was also an excellent goalkeeper who had won several gold medals for his team. “Maybe, Mr. Jones... But I don’t see any hope of having him on our team. Just look at his leg,” Jake said to the teacher. Seeing that Jake felt dissatisfied with Sam’s condition, Mr. Jones unfolded another story about how Sam lost his leg. One day, Sam’s school bus met with a car accident on the way back from a trip. The school bus was set on fire;though Sam got out and reached safety, he realized one of his classmates was still on the school bus. He risked his own life to save her without hesitation. With all his strength, he carried her out of the bus. As a result, the girl was saved but Sam’s leg was severely injured and had to be amputated(截肢). Paragraph 1: Jake was deeply moved by Sam’s bravery and became teary-eyed. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: The next day, Jake went to the classroom, saying he had an important announcement to make. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 尚美中学2023-2024年学年度下学期5月单元练习 高二英语试卷 试卷满分：150分 考试时间：120分钟 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时，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段对话或独白。每段对话或独白后有几个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听每段对话或独白前，你将有时间阅读各个小题，每小题5秒钟；听完后，各小题将给出5秒钟的作答时间。每段对话或独白读两遍。 例：How much is the shirt?

C 【解析】 【原文】M: What is life like for today’s students? How do they treat money? As the university and college terms began, I interviewed a few students. Sarah is a second-year biology student. She says that money is a big problem. She can eat cheaply at university but she spends quite a lot on transport. She also spends quite a lot on stylish clothes. Colin who is studying engineering says that he doesn’t spend anything on clothes unless counting climbing shoes and special tools, some of which are very expensive. Not much of his money goes on transport because he likes to ride his bike around. Diana is a first-year designing student. She makes all her own clothes. This should save her money. But in fact, the materials are very expensive. She does not know how she would manage if she did not sell some of the dresses and hats she made to other students. She says that everything is expensive. That includes rent, food, transport and heating for the flat in winter. Jack is a science student. He doesn’t spend much money on clothes but his rent is high and he spends quite a lot on books. So he is doing part-time jobs to afford all of these. 第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分50分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A，B，C，D）中选出最佳选项。 A Four Historic American Theatres Today, theatres remain a key part of a city’s lifeblood. The following are four historic theatres in America. Pantages Theatre, Minneapolis, MN The Pantages Theatre, which now seats 1,014, opened in 1916 as part of Alexander Pantages’s well-known group of theatres. It was designed by the local firm Kees and Colburn. In 1922, the theatres was rebuilt by Scottish theatres architect Benjamin Marcus Priteca. After going through several owners, in 1984, it was closed and remained unopened until 1996. Some theatre supporters had it repaired and improved, resulting in its reopening in 2002. Saenger Theatre, New Orleans, LA New Orleans’s Saenger Theatre was built two years before the Great Depression, in 1927, and cost a then unheard-of $ 2.5 million. It was designed by Emile Weil, featuring a 15th-century Florentine courtyard and gardens, and Greek and Roman statues. Although the theatre was destroyed by Hurricane Katrina in 2005, after a $ 53 million renovation (修葺), it reopened in 2013. Thalian Hall, Wilmington, NC Thalian Hall has been in almost continuous use since its opening in 1858. It is the only surviving theatre designed by John Montague Trimble, one of America’s foremost 19th-century theatre architects, and originally housed the town government, a library, as well as an “Opera House”, seating 1, 000 people. Some repairs in 1909 led to the removal of the side balconies and the installation of electric stage lights. Providence Performing Arts Center, Providence, RI It was originally opened as a movie palace in 1928, and the silent movies it showed were accompanied by a $ 90, 000 Robert Morton organ. After several decades, the theatre suffered from the increased popularity of television, as well as damage by two hurricanes. Over the past decade and a half, it has undergone extensive renovations and modernization. 21. What can we know about the Pantages Theatre? A. It has a seating capacity of 1, 916. B. It will be turned into a movie house. C. It was designed by Alexander Pantages. D. It was once shut down for over a decade. 22. Of the following theatres, which is the oldest? A. Pantages Theatre. B. Saenger Theatre. C. Thalian Hall. D. Providence Performing Arts Center 23. What do the listed theatres have in common? A. They went through major renovations. B. They were hit by terrible natural disasters. C. They were built by American theatre architects. D. They belong o Alexander Pantages’s group of theatres. 【答案】21. D 22. C 23. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了美国四大历史剧院。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据Pantages Theatre, Minneapolis, MN部分中的“After going through several owners, in 1984, it was closed and remained unopened until 1996. (1984年，在经历了几位所有者之后，它被关闭了，直到1996年才开始营业)”可知，Pantages Theatre一度关闭了十多年。故选D。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据四个历史剧院的开放时间可知，Thalian Hall在1858年开放，是四个剧院中最古老的。故选C。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据Pantages Theatre, Minneapolis, MN部分中的“Some theatre supporters had it repaired and improved, resulting in its reopening in 2002. (一些剧院的支持者把它修复和改进了，使它在2002年重新开放)”， Saenger Theatre, New Orleans, LA部分中的“Although the theatre was destroyed by Hurricane Katrina in 2005, after a $ 53 million renovation (修葺), it reopened in 2013. (尽管剧院在2005年被卡特里娜飓风摧毁，但经过5300万美元的整修后，它于2013年重新开放)”， Thalian Hall, Wilmington, NC部分中的“Some repairs in 1909 led to the removal of the side balconies and the installation of electric stage lights.(1909年的一些维修导致了侧阳台的拆除，并安装了电动舞台灯)”和Providence Performing Arts Center, Providence, RI部分中的“Over the past decade and a half, it has undergone extensive renovations and modernization. (在过去的15年里，它经历了大规模的翻新和现代化)”可知，名单上的剧院都进行了重大翻修。故选A。 B Torbjorn Pedersen is a Danish traveler who recently finished a trip around the world. But this wasn’t just any trip. In 2013, Mr. Pedersen read an article about someone who had visited all the countries of the world. It made him realize he could set a record by doing the same thing, but without flying. He hoped that he could live on a budget of about $20 a day. He had originally anticipated it would take four years to reach countries, but the world had other plans. Though he did have to quit his job and leave his parents and girlfriend behind, the first part of his trip was pretty easy, but as he moved on to other parts of the world, things began to get hard. To cross large bodies of water, Mr. Pedersen took boats. Sometimes it was hard to find a boat. At other times, Mr. Pedersen was on a boat for days, being tossed (摇摆颠簸) by strong waves during a storm. He traveled by taxi, bus, train, and even walking. With a limited budget, sometimes people invited him into their homes. At other times, he had to sleep outside. Mr. Pedersen says he had many difficult experiences. He was once held at gunpoint and thought he might be killed. He also became severely ill with a serious disease. But he also had many good experiences. Mr. Pedersen says that one reason why he didn’t give up was the help he got from people all over the world. On July 26, Mr. Pedersen arrived back in Denmark after a 33-day boat ride. He was met by about 150 people, including friends and family members. In the last 10 years, he’s covered around 260,000 miles — roughly 10 times the distance around the Earth. Mr. Pedersen says he’s looking forward to some quiet time to think about his trip. After that, he plans to write a book and share what he learned in his travels around the world. 24. What inspired Torbjorn Pedersen to start the trip around the world? A. The dream of setting a world record. B. The knowledge of a stranger’s experience. C. The desire to experience different cultures. D. The encouragement of his parents and girlfriend. 25. How can we understand the underlined sentence in paragraph 3? A He failed to carry out his plan. B He finished his trip smoothly as expected. C. He spent more than four years travelling around the world. D. He changed his plans over the course of the trip intentionally. 26. What’s the main idea of the fifth paragraph? A. The help Mr. Pedersen got from others. B. The challenges Mr. Pedersen met on the way. C. The efforts Mr. Pedersen made to achieve his goal. D. The inconvenient transportation Mr. Pedersen underwent. 27. Which of the following words can best describe Mr. Pedersen? A. Courageous and determined. B. Ambitious and helpful. C. Sincere and independent. D. Amusing and strong-willed. 【答案】24. B 25. C 26. B 27. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了丹麦旅行者Torbjorn Pedersen花了四年多的时间完成了一次环球旅行。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“In 2013, Mr. Pedersen read an article about someone who had visited all the countries of the world. It made him realize he could set a record by doing the same thing, but without flying.(2013年，Pedersen读到一篇文章，讲的是一个去过世界上所有国家的人。这让他意识到他可以通过做同样的事情来创造一项记录，但不需要飞行)”可知，了解陌生人的经历激发了Torbjorn Pedersen开始环球旅行。故选B。 【25题详解】 句意猜测题。根据第四段“Though he did have to quit his job and leave his parents and girlfriend behind, the first part of his trip was pretty easy, but as he moved on to other parts of the world, things began to get hard.(虽然他不得不辞去工作，离开父母和女朋友，但他旅行的第一部分相当轻松，但当他前往世界其他地方时，事情开始变得困难起来)”可知，后文提到他前往世界其他地方遇到了困难，说明四年时间环游世界并不够，他花了超过四年的时间来完成。故划线句意思是“他花了四年多的时间环游世界”。故选C。 【26题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第五段“To cross large bodies of water, Mr. Pedersen took boats. Sometimes it was hard to find a boat. At other times, Mr. Pedersen was on a boat for days, being tossed (摇摆颠簸) by strong waves during a storm. He traveled by taxi, bus, train, and even walking.

It brought heavy rains and rising flood-waters. By Tuesday night, some parts of the city had received 10 inches of rain. Police and firefighters helped people move to safe places. They also saved people from cars and buses that were stuck on roads. Certain areas around Houston were hit really hard. In just four hours, more than seven inches of rain fell in Sugar Land in the southwest of Houston. Cars could not pass through any of the areas main roadways. On Twitter, Sugar Land city officials asked people to get to high ground. Tuesday’s rain hit parts of Texas that Hurricane Harvey had already damaged almost two years ago. Hurricane Harvey in August, 2017 was the second most costly hurricane in US history. It caused $125 billion worth of damage in Texas. In the Houston area, 36 people died and about 150, 000 homes were flooded. A spokesman for the Harris County Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Management spoke with the Houston Chronicle. The spokesman said that this week’s rain is “not in any way a Harvey-level event.” But the worst may not be over yet. People will have a break from the heavy rain on Wednesday. According to the National Weather Service, the Texas Gulf Coast will continue to experience heavy rain later in the week. "Today should be our quietest over the next few days for rainfall,” said Don Oettinger, a National Weather Service meteorologist (气象学家). Houston Fire Chief Samuel Peia warned, “As there is too much water on the ground, these are perfect conditions for flash floods, so we hope people are careful of what they’re doing and encourage them to stay home. There’s no sense in putting yourself, firefighters or anybody in danger needlessly.” 28. What are Paragraphs 1 and 2 mainly about? A. Flood damage in Houston. B. Flood prevention in Houston. C. Heavy floods hitting Houston. D. People fighting floods in Houston. 29. What do we know about Hurricane Harvey? A. It caused no deaths or injuries. B. It did a lot of damage to Texas. C. It was less serious than this week’s rain. D. It was the biggest hurricane on record. 30. What can we learn from the weather report of the National Weather Service? A. Fine days are coming. B. It will rain a little non-stop. C. A hurricane is unavoidable. D. Floods will continue. 31. What did Samuel suggest local people do? A. Stay indoors. B. Join firefighters. C. Give up needless things. D. Comfort those who lost homes. 【答案】28. C 29. B 30. D 31. A 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇新闻报道。文章介绍一场风暴袭击了休斯敦，引发了大量降水和城市内水位上涨，当地政府提醒人们居家注意安全。 【28题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段中“Police and firefighters helped people move to safe places. They also saved people from cars and buses that were stuck on roads.”和第二段中“Cars could not pass through any of the areas main roadways.”可知，两段主要在描写大量降水导致休斯敦城市内洪水泛滥造成的后果，C选项“泛滥的洪水袭击了休斯敦”符合文意。故选C项。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段最后两句“It caused $125 billion worth of damage in Texas. In the Houston area, 36 people died and about 150, 000 homes were flooded.”可知，两年前席卷德克萨斯州的飓风造成了巨大的财产损失和人员伤亡，与B选项描述一致。故选B项。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段第三句“According to the National Weather Service, the Texas Gulf Coast will continue to experience heavy rain later in the week.”并结合该段内容可知，人们在周三能稍微松口气，但这一周后面几天降水将会继续，届时洪水必然会再次泛滥。故选D项。 【31题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段Samuel所说的话“As there is too much water on the ground, these are perfect conditions for flash floods, so we hope people are careful of what they’re doing and encourage them to stay home.”可知，他希望人们注意安全，并鼓励他们待在家里，与A选项“stay indoors”含义一致。故选A项。 D Even though water covers about 71 percent of the Earth’s surface, not all of it is safe to drink. In fact, less than three percent is fresh water, according to the United States Bureau of Reclamation. Most of the water is contained in the oceans and must be desalinated (脱盐)for use. Now researchers from MIT have developed a suitcase-sized desalination device that could be used to produce clean drinking water. The new portable device produces water that actually goes beyond the World Health Organization standards, just by pushing a button, according to a press release from MIT. There are no filters required. The device powered by a small portable solar panel uses electricity to remove salt and other particles from the saltwater. This eliminates the need for repeatedly checking or repairing it. Now most available portable desalination units use filters that require high-pressure pumps to push the water, which makes them heavier and less energy efficient. The filterless feature of the new device will allow it to be used in faraway places or places with limited resources like small islands and ships, and even for emergencies. “This is really the highest point of a 10-year journey that I and my group have been on. We worked for years on the physics behind individual desalination processes, but pushing all those advances into a box, building a system, and testing it in the ocean were really meaningful experiences for me,” says Jongyoon Han, the senior author of the study. After the researchers ran tests in the lab, the device was ready for field tests. At Boston’s Carson Beach, the device filled a plastic drinking cup with clear, drinkable water in just half an hour. Now the researchers are still working on a final design that could use cheaper materials so that it can be available to the general public, and a new model of the device could be ready by the end of 2022. This small but powerful desalination unit may be the key to bringing safe water to a thirsty world. 32. What does the underlined word “eliminates” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Proves. B. Creates. C. Satisfies. D. Removes. 33. What can we infer about the device from Paragraph 3? A. It allows high production of clean water. B. It makes a breakthrough in application C. It may provide power for faraway places D. It can replace most desalination devices. 34. What do Jongyoon Han’s words suggest? A. The public thinks highly of the device B. The testing system for the device has been out of date. C. Developing the device is challenging but worthwhile. D. Further studies are needed before marketing the device. 35. Which aspect of the device are the researchers trying to improve? A. Its affordability. B. The energy it needs. C. Its performance in dry areas. D. The purity of the water it produces. 【答案】32. D 33. B 34. C 35. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲麻省理工学院的研究人员已经开发出一种手提箱大小的脱盐装置，可以用来生产清洁的饮用水。 【32题详解】 词句猜测题。由文章第二段“There are no filters required. The device powered by a small portable solar panel uses electricity to remove salt and other particles from the saltwater. (该装置由一个小型便携式太阳能电池板供电，利用电力去除盐水中的盐和其他微粒)”以及第三段“Now most available portable desalination units use filters that require high-pressure pumps to push the water, which makes them heavier and less energy efficient. (现在大多数便携式脱盐装置都使用需要高压泵推动水的过滤器，这使得它们更重，能效更低)”可知，与以前的设备对比，新设备更简单更轻更有效，能“消除”反复检查或维修这些问题。所以推测eliminate是“消除，排除”的意思。故选D项。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第三段“The filterless feature of the new device will allow it to be used in faraway places or places with limited resources like small islands and ships, and even for emergencies.(新设备的无过滤器功能将允许它用于遥远的地方或资源有限的地方，如小岛屿和船只，甚至用于紧急情况)”可知，新设备在运用的场地方面有了突破。故选B项。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第四段“‘This is really the highest point of a 10-year journey that I and my group have been on. We worked for years on the physics behind individual desalination processes, but pushing all those advances into a box, building a system, and testing it in the ocean were really meaningful experiences for me,’ says Jongyoon Han, the senior author of the study.(该研究的资深作者Jongyoon Han说：“这真的是我和我的团队十年旅程中的最高点。我们多年来一直致力于个体脱盐过程背后的物理研究，但把所有这些进展都推到一个盒子里，建立一个系统，并在海洋中进行测试，对我来说是非常有意义的经历。”)”可知，整个研发过程持续十年说明这项目很有挑战性，但Jongyoon Han也认为这很有意义，是值得的。故选C项。 【35题详解】 细节理解题。由文章最后一段“ Now the researchers are still working on a final design that could use cheaper materials so that it can be available to the general public, and a new model of the device could be ready by the end of 2022. (现在，研究人员仍在研究最终设计，该设计可以使用更便宜的材料，以便公众可以使用，2022年底，该设备的新型号可能会准备就绪)”可知，现在研究者正在考虑价格问题，准备使用更便宜材料以致于公众能够购买得起。故选A项。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Reading is often seen as an individual activity, but it definitely doesn’t have to be.

Anna Hielm-Björkman at ____57____ University of Helsinki, Finland, and her colleagues surveyed more than 7000 dog owners in Finland about ____58____ they fed their pets between 2009 and 2019. The researchers surveyed each dog owner multiple times in this period and also asked them whether their dog ____59____ (experience) any gastrointestinal problems that lasted three weeks or more-also known as chronic enteropathy (CE). The team wanted to determine the effect that a dog’s diet at an early age had ____60____ its gut health in adulthood. According to Hielm-Björkman, dog diets in Finland can largely be split into three categories: dog food, their ____61____ (owner) cooked leftovers and non-processed food such as raw meat, fish and berries. The researchers found that 22 per cent of dogs developed CE in adulthood, ____62____ (typical) at age one and a half. Their diet as a puppy, aged between 2 months and 6 months, ____63____ (find) to correlate strongly with whether it developed CE in later life or not. Those that were mostly fed dog food were 29 per cent more likely to develop the condition compared with dogs mostly ____64____ (eat) raw foods. However, this type of study can’t establish whether the dogs’ diets were responsible for the ______65______ (high) rates of illness. 【答案】56. given 57. the 58. what 59. had experienced 60. on 61. owners’ 62. typically 63. was found 64. eating 65. higher 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了与那些以剩饭剩菜或生肉为食的小狗相比，主要吃狗粮的小狗在以后的生活中更容易出现肠道健康问题。 【56题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：与那些以剩饭剩菜或生肉为食的小狗相比，主要吃狗粮的小狗在以后的生活中更容易出现肠道健康问题。分析句子结构可知give与逻辑主语those构成被动关系，故用过去分词作定语，故填given。 【57题详解】 考查冠词。句意：芬兰赫尔辛基大学的安娜Hielm-Björkman和她的同事调查了芬兰7000多名狗主人，了解他们在2009年至2019年期间喂宠物吃什么。此处University of Helsinki为专有名词，前用定冠词。故填the。 【58题详解】 考查宾语从句。句意：芬兰赫尔辛基大学的安娜Hielm-Björkman和她的同事调查了芬兰7000多名狗主人，了解他们在2009年至2019年期间喂宠物吃什么。引导宾语从句，从句缺少宾语，表示“什么”应用what。故填what。 【59题详解】 考查时态。句意：在此期间，研究人员对每位狗主人进行了多次调查，并询问他们的狗是否出现了持续三周或更长时间的胃肠道问题，也被称为慢性肠病（CE）。结合语境可知此处表示过去的过去，故用过去完成时。故填had experienced。 【60题详解】 考查介词。句意：研究小组想要确定狗在幼年时的饮食对成年后肠道健康的影响。短语have the effect on表示“对……有影响”。故填on。 【61题详解】 考查所有格。句意：根据Hielm-Björkman网站，芬兰的狗粮大致可以分为三类：狗粮、狗主人煮熟的剩饭和未经加工的食物，如生肉、鱼和浆果。此处owner与leftovers构成所属关系，应用名词所有格形式，根据上文their可知应用复数。故填owners’。 【62题详解】 考查副词。句意：研究人员发现，22%的狗在成年后患上了CE，通常是在一岁半的时候。修饰后文短语应用副词typically，故填typically。 【63题详解】 考查时态语态。句意：研究发现，幼犬2个月至6个月大时的饮食与它们日后是否患上CE密切相关。主语与谓语构成被动关系，描述过去发生的动作应用一般过去时的被动语态，主语为Their diet，谓语用单数。故填was found。 64题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：与主要吃生食的狗相比，那些主要吃狗粮的狗患这种疾病的可能性要高29%。此处dogs与eat为主动关系，故用现在分词作定语，故填eating。 【65题详解】 考查比较级。句意：然而，这种类型的研究并不能确定狗的饮食是否应该为更高的发病率负责。结合句意表示“更高的”应用比较级higher。故填higher。 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节 应用文写作(满分15分) 66. 假定你是李华，你校最近组织高二学生去附近的河岸清理垃圾。请你为校英语报写一篇报道，内容包括： 1. 活动介绍； 2. 活动意义。 注意： 1. 写作词数应为 80左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 A Successful Cleanup Activity ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: A Successful Cleanup Activity Last weekend, a volunteer activity, aimed at cleaning up the river nearby, was organized for senior 2 students of our school.

The boys always thought they would merely select those who had the physique(体格)and skills to represent their team. One day, the team’s “head”, as they called him, Jake, was busy playing soccer with his friends when the newcomer, Sam, in their class walked over. The little boy called out saying he was ready to play, but Jake’s team paused and turned in disbelief, staring at the boy’s artificial leg. “How on earth will you play for us with that artificial leg?” Jake said. Sam got depressed when Jake’s words echoed in his ears. He almost cried but he didn’t want his tears to weaken him in front of the boys. Meanwhile, Mr. Jones, the school’s physical trainer, saw the whole thing from his office window. After the practice session, he walked over to Jake and took him aside for a word in private. “I saw what happened, and if I’m not wrong, you sent away that newcomer, right?” Mr. Jones asked Jake. “Do you have any idea who he is?” Jake was shocked after Mr. Jones revealed Sam’s background. As it turned out, Sam was captain of the soccer team in his previous school. He was also an excellent goalkeeper who had won several gold medals for his team. “Maybe, Mr. Jones... But I don’t see any hope of having him on our team. Just look at his leg,” Jake said to the teacher. Seeing that Jake felt dissatisfied with Sam’s condition, Mr. Jones unfolded another story about how Sam lost his leg. One day, Sam’s school bus met with a car accident on the way back from a trip. The school bus was set on fire;though Sam got out and reached safety, he realized one of his classmates was still on the school bus. He risked his own life to save her without hesitation. With all his strength, he carried her out of the bus. As a result, the girl was saved but Sam’s leg was severely injured and had to be amputated(截肢). Paragraph 1: Jake was deeply moved by Sam’s bravery and became teary-eyed. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: The next day, Jake went to the classroom, saying he had an important announcement to make. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Paragraph 1: Jake was deeply moved by Sam’s bravery and became teary-eyed. He told Mr. Jones he was terribly sorry about his rudeness to Sam. “It’s not all about winning or losing, but about having the heart to love everyone and appreciate their talents,” Mr. Jones told Jake and left. Reflecting on these words, Jake felt more regretful. He then gathered the members of his team, and after a short discussion, they reached an agreement that they believed would be a surprise to Sam. Paragraph 2: The next day, Jake went to the classroom, saying he had an important announcement to make. All the classmates turned to him, including Sam. Hearing he had been selected as the new goalkeeper of the team, Sam could hardly believe his ears. Then Jake walked up to Sam, making a public apology to him. Realizing what was happening, Sam smiled and said with gratitude, “Thank you! Jake.” Mr. Jones watched them from outside the classroom, feeling relieved at the scene. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Sam想加入足球队，但遭到足球队长Jake的嘲笑和拒绝，因为Sam拥有一条假腿，教练Jones发现这件事后叫过来Jake，并讲述Sam以前也是足球队长，但因为在一次救同学时失去了腿。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“Jake被Sam的勇敢深深感动，泪眼汪汪。”可知，第一段可重点写Jake对自己所做之事的后悔以及想要做些事来弥补自己的过错。 ②由第二段首句内容“第二天，Jake来到教室，说他有一个重要的公告要宣布。”可知，第二段可重点写Jake宣布Sam为守门员并向他道歉，Sam很感动，教练Jones也很欣慰。 2.续写线索：Jake感到后悔——Jake决定弥补自己的过错——宣布Sam为守门员并道歉——Sam很感动——教练Jones很满意 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①.宣布： say/announce/declare ②.道歉：make an apology/apologize/say sorry ③.发生： happen/occur /take place 情绪类 ①.后悔的：sorry/regretful/repentant ②.感激的： with gratitude/gratefully/thankfully 【点睛】[高分句型1].
