(除了以最古老的科学动物园而闻名外，它还是第一个推出水族馆、昆虫馆、儿童动物园和爬行动物馆的动物园)”可知，游客在London Zoo能参观昆虫馆。故选A项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。由Colchester Zoo中第一段“It remains up-to-date by expanding continuously and children are guaranteed to enjoy the Madagascar express road train. (它通过不断扩大保持最新，并保证儿童能够享受马达加斯加快速公路列车)”可知，如果游客的孩子想乘坐观光火车，他们应该去Colchester Zoo。故选B项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。由Bristol Zoo中第一段“Moreover, it has used its space resourcefully for a small zoo — probably one of the smallest in the world. (此外，它很有资源地将自己的空间用于一个小型动物园——可能是世界上最小的动物园之一)”和第二段“Ticket prices online: Children £9 and adults £14. Under 2 — no entry fee. (在线票价：儿童9英镑，成人14英镑。2岁以下——不收取入场费)”可知，一对有6岁孩子的夫妇参观最小的动物园应该花9英镑+14*2英镑=37英镑。故选C项。 B In Telangana, southern India, a 17-year-old teenager, Hemesh Chadalavada, is making waves with a game-changing invention that has the potential to revolutionize dementia (痴呆) care. When Hemesh was 12､his grandmother Jayasree, then 63, accidentally left the gas on in the kitchen after making herself a cup of tea. The incident frightened Hemesh who found himself wondering what would have happened if he hadn’t been there. Witnessing his grandmother suffer from dementia, Hernesh knew that he had to do something, so he turned to the Internet. After watching robotics courses online and taking advantage of his passion for coding, Hemesh set about creating a smart device. He spent time in a day centre to learn more about the needs of people with dementia. And 20 failed versions later, the Alpha Monitor was born. Using advanced machine learning technology, the device, which can be worn on the wrist, sends an automatic alert to caregivers when any abnormal activity is detected, such as if the user falls down, wanders off, or has an accident. While other devices rely on Wi-Fi and are therefore unable to detect movements outside a limited range, the Alpha Monitor uses long-range technology that can detect a person’s movements more than a mile away in cities and three miles away in the countryside. Sadly, Jayasree passed away last year, but her death has only reinforced Hemesh’s determination to continue his mission of improving dementia care far and wide. Dhruv Saidava, Hemesh’s mentor, said, “I first met Hemesh in 2019 during Ideate for India... Hemesh stood out. What set him apart was his exceptional talent for thorough research and hands-on ability.” In future, he plans to do research at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Delhi and improve the Alpha Monitor so that it’s ready for market. He has made it clear that he wants the device to be sold at an affordable price so that it’s accessible to people in less developed countries. 4. What inspired Hemesh’s invention? A. The concern about his grandma’s security. B. The enthusiasm for robotics development. C. The sympathy for people suffering from dementia. D. The desire to research into machine learning technology. 5. How is Alpha Monitor superior to other devices? A. It goes through a series of tests. B. It can detect abnormal activities. C. It is equipped with an alert system. D. It monitors a person’s farther distance. 6. What does the underlined word “reinforced” in paragraph 5 mean? A. Changed. B. Illustrated. C. Strengthened. D. Restored. 7. Which of the following can best describe Hemesh? A. Strong-willed and adventurous. B. Warm-hearted and creative. C. Responsible and sensitive. D. Stubborn and generous. 【答案】4. A 5. D 6. C 7. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了印度17岁的青少年Hemesh Chadalavada发明了一款名为Alpha Monitor的智能设备，该设备可以应用于痴呆症患者的监测。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。由第二段“When Hemesh was 12､his grandmother Jayasree, then 63, accidentally left the gas on in the kitchen after making herself a cup of tea. The incident frightened Hemesh who found himself wondering what would have happened if he hadn’t been there. (Hemesh 12岁时，他63岁祖母Jayasree在给自己泡了一杯茶后，不小心让煤气在厨房里开着。这件事吓坏了Hemesh，他发现自己在想，如果他不在那里会发生什么)”可知，63岁的祖母Jayasree泡茶后忘关煤气，因Hemesh对祖母安全的担心，才激发了Hemesh发明Alpha Monitor。故选A项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。由第四段中“While other devices rely on Wi-Fi and are therefore unable to detect movements outside a limited range, the Alpha Monitor uses long-range technology that can detect a person’s movements more than a mile away in cities and three miles away in the countryside. (虽然其他设备依赖Wi-Fi，因此无法检测有限范围外的运动，但Alpha Monitor使用远程技术，可以检测一英里外城市和三英里外农村的人的运动)”可知，Alpha Monitor优于其他设备的地方在于它可以监测一个人的更远距离的运动。故选D项。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。由第五段中“Sadly, Jayasree passed away last year, but her death has only reinforced Hemesh’s determination to continue his mission of improving dementia care far and wide. (不幸的是，Jayasree于去年去世，但她的去世只会reinforced Hemesh继续其改善痴呆症护理使命的决心)”和最后一段中“In future, he plans to do research at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Delhi and improve the Alpha Monitor so that it’s ready for market. (未来，他计划在德里印度理工学院（IIT）进行研究，并改进Alpha Monitor，使其为市场做好准备)”可知，未来Hemesh要改进Alpha Monitor并使其进入市场，可得出祖母的去世加强了他继续其改善痴呆症护理使命的决心，划线词意为“Strengthened (加强)”。故选C项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。由第二段中“When Hemesh was 12､his grandmother Jayasree, then 63, accidentally left the gas on in the kitchen after making herself a cup of tea. The incident frightened Hemesh who found himself wondering what would have happened if he hadn’t been there. (Hemesh 12岁时，他63岁的祖母Jayasree在给自己泡了一杯茶后，不小心让煤气在厨房里开着。这件事吓坏了Hemesh，他发现自己在想，如果他不在那里会发生什么)”和第三段中“After watching robotics courses online and taking advantage of his passion for coding, Hemesh set about creating a smart device. (在网上观看了机器人课程后，利用他对编码的热情，Hemesh开始创造一种智能设备)”可知，63岁的祖母Jayasree泡茶后忘关煤气，因Hemesh对祖母安全的担心，才激发了Hemesh发明Alpha Monitor，可得出Hemesh既暖心又有创造力。故选B项。 C After a heavy snowstorm, I ran outside excitedly to build a snowman. No matter how hard 1 rolled my snowball, it refused to grow. After resting for a while, I restarted the job. Then I noticed I had an audience — a prim (古板)-looking couple with obvious disapproval. My face turned red as I tried to answer their unspoken question: Don’t you have anything better to do? An adult playing by herself seems strange, but maybe it shouldn’t. New research suggests that modern adults have ignored their play instinct (本能). Most animals stop playing as adults. However, there are a handful of animals that never stop. One possibility is that adult play is important and beneficial, a theory supported by a study. Researchers left some puzzle boxes for some monkeys to solve. To get the food inside, they had to drop a rock into the container. The monkeys that previously had dropped rocks for fun were more likely to solve the puzzle. This finding also suggests somewhere in our evolutionary history, a playful human invented stone tools. Even today, the urge to play accounts for some of humanity’s greatest inventions. Adult play promotes inclusivity, cooperation and creativity — all qualities that we humans could use. Unfortunately, social norms hold back our urge to let loose. When studying the last remaining hunter-gatherer communities. Peter Gray, a play researcher at Boston College, noticed they were often described as “joyful”. “This makes evolutionary sense,” Gray says. “Generally speaking, we like to do things that are necessary for our survival.” Humans took one giant step away from fun when we started planting crops. We spent a lot of time plowing (耕) fields, so we had much less time to play. With threats like climate change, it’s easy to get into seriousness. But we should understand the value of encouraging adult play. The next time I’m caught playing, I know what to say, “I’m playing for the benefit of all humanity. You’re welcome.” 8. Why did the author feel embarrassed? A. She considered herself too old to play. B. She was judged to behave improperly. C. She had a hard job making a snowman. D. She was laughed at while playing as an adult. 9. What can be inferred about adult play from paragraph 3? A. It promotes human evolution. B. It is the natural need of humans. C. It is particularly noticeable in animals. D. It can contribute to useful inventions. 10. Which of the following may let humans reduce the pleasure of playing? A. Climate change. B. The need to look for food. C. Modern science. D. The arrival of agriculture. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. Let’s play to save our world B. Play is enjoyed not just by animals C. Why adults need to make time for play D. How adult play changed its role for humans 【答案】8. A 9. D 10. D 11. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了在现代社会中，人们常会对充满玩心的成年人持否定态度，但事实上，“玩”这一活动非常重要，可以帮助人们培养各种素质，从而能够更好地解决问题，呼吁人们理解鼓励成人游戏的价值。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。由第一段“After a heavy snowstorm, I ran outside excitedly to build a snowman. No matter how hard 1 rolled my snowball, it refused to grow. After resting for a while, I restarted the job. Then I noticed I had an audience — a prim (古板的)-looking couple with obvious disapproval. My face turned red as I tried to answer their unspoken question: Don’t you have anything better to do? (一场暴风雪过后，我兴奋地跑到外面堆雪人。不管我怎么滚雪球，它都不肯长大。休息了一会儿后，我又开始堆雪人。然后我注意到有观众——一对古板的夫妇，明显不赞同我的做法。我脸红了，试图回答他们未说出口的问题——难道你就没有更好的事情可做吗？)”和第二段中“An adult playing by herself seems strange, but maybe it shouldn’t. (一个成年人独自玩耍似乎很奇怪，但也许不应该如此)”可知，一对夫妇看到作者一个成年人在堆雪人，认为作者的这种行为很奇怪（暗指，作者的年龄不适合玩这种游戏了），这令作者感到尴尬。故选A项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。由第三段中“This finding also suggests somewhere in our evolutionary history, a playful human invented stone tools. Even today, the urge to play accounts for some of humanity’s greatest inventions. (这一发现也表明，在我们的进化史上，好玩的人类曾发明过石器。即使在今天，玩游戏的冲动也是人类一些最伟大发明的原因)”可知，成年人玩耍可以为有用的创造发明做出贡献。故选D项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。由第四段中“Humans took one giant step away from fun when we started planting crops. We spent a lot of time plowing (耕) fields, so we had much less time to play. (当我们开始种植作物时，人类离乐趣又差了一大步。我们花了很多时间耕地，所以我们玩的时间少得多)”可知，农业的到来，会让人类减少玩耍的乐趣。故选D项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。结合最后一段“With threats like climate change, it’s easy to get into seriousness. But we should understand the value of encouraging adult play. The next time I’m caught playing, I know what to say, “I’m playing for the benefit of all humanity. You’re welcome.”(面对气候变化这样的威胁，人们很容易变得严肃起来。但我们应该理解鼓励成人玩耍的价值。下次我玩游戏的时候，我知道该怎么说：“我是为了全人类的利益而玩。欢迎你。”)”并且通读全文可知，文章讲述了在现代社会中，人们常会对充满玩心的成年人持否定态度，但事实上，“玩”这一活动非常重要，可以帮助人们培养各种素质，从而能够更好地解决问题，呼吁人们理解鼓励成人游戏的价值，由此可知。C项“为什么成年人需要腾出时间玩耍”适合作文章标题。故选C项。 D On August 21, 1986, a man making his way to Nyos, a village near a lake in northwest Cameroon, found dozens of dead animals along the road. He called into a home to see if the residents knew what had happened. Instead of getting answers, the man discovered that everyone in the village was dead, though they seemed otherwise unharmed. Within days, officials confirmed that more than 1,700 people had died, along with several thousand animals. The strange and tragic event seemed similar to one that occurred at Lake Monoun two years earlier, just 60 miles to the south, where villagers found 37 people and many animals dead along its shores. Initially, authorities were confused about the cause. Witnesses reported hearing strange sounds and seeing a sudden rise of white cloud from the lake, which quickly disappeared. Fortunately, the disaster caught the world’s attention. Scientists from around the globe gathered in Nyos to investigate. Because Lake Nyos sits on an inactive volcano, their first theory was that the volcano had erupted and sent poisonous gases into the air. After further research, however, they found the cause was much more unusual. The deadly events were called limnic (湖泊的) eruptions. Although deadly and terrifying, limnic eruptions are extremely unlikely. They occur when dissolved (溶解的) carbon dioxide (CO2) suddenly erupts from the deep waters of a lake, forming a deadly gas cloud above the surface. Because carbon dioxide is heavier than air, the cloud will sink toward the ground, killing wildlife, livestock and humans. Carbon dioxide dissolves more easily in the deep, cold parts of lakes. As a result, the bottom of deep lake can have very high levels of carbon dioxide, while the levels decrease towards the lake’s surface, and the pressure at the bottom builds and builds. Any changes in pressure can set off the rapid and forceful release of the accumulated carbon dioxide, causing an eruption. It’s unclear what caused the lakes to explode, but considering they’re near the Oku Volcanic Field, it’s possible that an earthquake or a small volcanic eruption occurred before each disaster. 12. Why are the numbers mentioned in paragraph 2? A. To arouse the empathy of the readers. B. To display the destructive effect of the events. C. To prove the necessity of preparing for disasters. D. To highlight the difficulty looking into the cause. 13. What is to blame for the mass deaths in Nyos? A. High concentrations of CO2. B. The great power of the lake explosion. C. Poisonous gases from a volcano eruption. D. The lake water flooding the nearby villages. 14. Which may have nothing to do with limnic eruptions? A. An earthquake. B. Dissolved carbon dioxide. C. Great pressure differences. D. Warm environments. 15. Where is the text probably taken from? A. A charity poster. B. A biography. C. A science magazine. D. A cultural website. 【答案】12. B 13. A 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了喀麦隆西北部湖泊附近的尼奥斯村和莫农湖附近发生了人员不知怎么的大规模死亡灾难性事件，解释了其产生的原因——湖泊喷发，湖泊喷发时产生的高浓度的二氧化碳杀死了人和动植物。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。由第二段“Within days, officials confirmed that more than 1,700 people had died, along with several thousand animals. The strange and tragic event seemed similar to one that occurred at Lake Monoun two years earlier, just 60 miles to the south, where villagers found 37 people and many animals dead along its shores. (几天之内，官方证实有1700多人死亡，还有数千只动物死亡。这起奇怪而悲惨的事件似乎与两年前发生在南部60英里外的莫农湖的事件相似，当时村民们发现莫农湖沿岸有37人和许多动物死亡)”可知，此处灾难性事件动植物大量死亡，第二段用具体数字可展示这些事件的破坏性影响。故选B项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。由第三段中“After further research, however, they found the cause was much more unusual. The deadly events were called limnic (湖泊的) eruptions. (然而，经过进一步的研究，他们发现原因更不寻常。这些致命事件被称为湖泊喷发)”和第四段中“They occur when dissolved (溶解的) carbon dioxide (CO2) suddenly erupts from the deep waters of a lake, forming a deadly gas cloud above the surface. Because carbon dioxide is heavier than air, the cloud will sink toward the ground, killing wildlife, livestock and humans. (当溶解的二氧化碳（CO2）突然从湖泊深水中喷出，在水面上形成致命的气体云时，就会发生湖泊喷发。由于二氧化碳比空气重，云层会向地面下沉，杀死野生动物、牲畜和人类)”可知，尼奥斯的大规模死亡应该归咎于湖泊喷发时产生的高浓度的二氧化碳。故选A项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。由倒数第二段“Carbon dioxide dissolves more easily in the deep, cold parts of lakes. As a result, the bottom of deep lake can have very high levels of carbon dioxide, while the levels decrease towards the lake’s surface, and the pressure at the bottom builds and builds. Any changes in pressure can set off the rapid and forceful release of the accumulated carbon dioxide, causing an eruption. (二氧化碳在湖泊深处寒冷的地方更容易溶解。因此，深湖底部的二氧化碳含量可能非常高，而二氧化碳含量向湖面下降，底部的压力越来越大。压力的任何变化都会导致积聚的二氧化碳迅速而有力地释放，从而引发湖泊喷发)”和最后一段“It’s unclear what caused the lakes to explode, but considering they’re near the Oku Volcanic Field, it’s possible that an earthquake or a small volcanic eruption occurred before each disaster. (目前尚不清楚是什么原因导致了这些湖泊的喷发，但考虑到它们靠近奥库火山场，每次灾难发生前都有可能发生地震或小规模火山喷发)”可知，高含量溶解的二氧化碳、巨大的压力差和地震都可能导致湖泊喷发，D项“温暖的环境”未提及，与湖泊喷发无关。故选D项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文可知，文章讲述了喀麦隆西北部湖泊附近的尼奥斯村和莫农湖附近发生了人员不知怎么的大规模死亡灾难性事件，解释了其产生的原因——湖泊喷发，湖泊喷发时产生的高浓度的二氧化碳杀死了人和动植物，属于科普知识一类，文章可能出自“一本科学杂志”。故选C项。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Come Up with Innovative Ideas Success in today’s dynamic and competitive business environment is significantly influenced by innovation, serving as a key driver for progress. ____16____ So, how can you unlock your creative genius and come up with ideas that will set you apart from others?

Still, when someone is asked to sacrifice something in order to be with their loved ones in good health, it can be hard. That was the situation one man was put in two decades ago when his wife was diagnosed with cancer. Years ago, Wesley Ryan learned his wife, Laura, had been diagnosed with cancer. The medical bills were piling up, and he knew in order to continue making ends meet, he would have to sell his beloved car. Wesley loved that car and even nicknamed it Christine, based on the 1958 Plymouth Fury from Stephen King’s book, Christine. However, Laura meant more to him, and Wesley wanted her to continue getting the care she needed. So he handed over the keys. “I know how much it broke him in half seeing that car drive away from him,” his son, Jake, wrote online. “It’s a day that I’ll never forget.” Jake and his sister, Jeni, knew they wanted to help their dad reunite with the car he’d loved so much. And over the years, the siblings had saved up enough money. So they started an online search and surprisingly, they were able to track down the old car online. Actually, the man who bought the car found out about Wesley’s story and the meaning behind the beloved vehicle by accident. Moved by the sacrifice one man had made for his family and how his family stepped up to repay him in the sweetest way possible, he soon got in touch with Jake, who purchased it as soon as possible. And after careful consideration, Jake and Jeni decided to surprise their dad in a nearby parking lot. Moreover, Laura, cancer-free for 13 years at the time, joined them for the big reveal. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Finally, the day came when Wesley reunited with his beloved car. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Wesley’s hands trembled as he reached out to confirm that it was real. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Finally, the day came when Wesley reunited with his beloved car. As Jake led him closer to the familiar sound of an engine rumbling, Wesley still had no idea what surprise his family had in store for him. When they turned the corner, Wesley froze in shock. Parked before him was his beloved Christine, gleaming under the sunlight. His heart raced, and tears welled up in his eyes. He couldn’t believe his eyes. Could it really be his car? Wesley’s hands trembled as he reached out to confirm that it was real. He ran his hands on the car, memories of the time he had spent with the car flooding back. Overwhelmed with emotions, he turned to his family. Seeing the joy on her husband’s face, Laura stepped forward and wrapped her arms around him, feeling the weight of the emotions that had been building up over the years. Wesley’s eyes were filled with gratitude. He knew that no matter what life threw at them, they would always be there for each other. And that was what truly mattered. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了20年前，为了给患有癌症的妻子治病，为了维持生计，韦斯利·瑞安卖掉了他心爱的汽车（克莉丝汀），多年来韦斯利·瑞安的儿女攒下了足够的钱，想找回这辆车，买车的人通过韦斯利·瑞安的儿子的发帖知道了这辆车背后的意义，儿女买下了它，准备给爸爸一个惊喜，同时痊愈的妈妈也加入这个行动中。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“终于有一天，韦斯利和他心爱的汽车团聚了。”可知，第一段可描写韦斯利不知道儿子想干什么，看到爱车时的惊讶和激动的情感，不敢相信爱车回来了。 ②由第二段首句内容“韦斯利伸手确认那是真的时，双手颤抖。”可知，第二段可描写韦斯利回忆与爱车的时光，夫妻相拥，感激一家人依旧在一起。 2.续写线索：韦斯利和爱车团聚——韦斯利不知道儿子想干什么——看到爱车时的纷杂情感——确认真的是爱车——回忆与爱车的时光——夫妻相拥——感激一家人依旧在一起 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①引领：lead / guide ②知道：know that… / be aware that… ③要紧：matter / count 情绪类 ①震惊：shock / astonishment ②高兴：joy / delight ③感激：gratitude / thankfulness / appreciation 【点睛】[高分句型1].

B In Telangana, southern India, a 17-year-old teenager, Hemesh Chadalavada, is making waves with a game-changing invention that has the potential to revolutionize dementia (痴呆) care. When Hemesh was 12､his grandmother Jayasree, then 63, accidentally left the gas on in the kitchen after making herself a cup of tea. The incident frightened Hemesh who found himself wondering what would have happened if he hadn’t been there. Witnessing his grandmother suffer from dementia, Hernesh knew that he had to do something, so he turned to the Internet. After watching robotics courses online and taking advantage of his passion for coding, Hemesh set about creating a smart device. He spent time in a day centre to learn more about the needs of people with dementia. And 20 failed versions later, the Alpha Monitor was born. Using advanced machine learning technology, the device, which can be worn on the wrist, sends an automatic alert to caregivers when any abnormal activity is detected, such as if the user falls down, wanders off, or has an accident. While other devices rely on Wi-Fi and are therefore unable to detect movements outside a limited range, the Alpha Monitor uses long-range technology that can detect a person’s movements more than a mile away in cities and three miles away in the countryside. Sadly, Jayasree passed away last year, but her death has only reinforced Hemesh’s determination to continue his mission of improving dementia care far and wide. Dhruv Saidava, Hemesh’s mentor, said, “I first met Hemesh in 2019 during Ideate for India... Hemesh stood out. What set him apart was his exceptional talent for thorough research and hands-on ability.” In future, he plans to do research at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Delhi and improve the Alpha Monitor so that it’s ready for market. He has made it clear that he wants the device to be sold at an affordable price so that it’s accessible to people in less developed countries. 4. What inspired Hemesh’s invention? A. The concern about his grandma’s security. B. The enthusiasm for robotics development. C. The sympathy for people suffering from dementia. D. The desire to research into machine learning technology. 5 How is Alpha Monitor superior to other devices? A. It goes through a series of tests. B. It can detect abnormal activities. C. It is equipped with an alert system. D. It monitors a person’s farther distance. 6. What does the underlined word “reinforced” in paragraph 5 mean? A. Changed. B. Illustrated. C. Strengthened. D. Restored. 7. Which of the following can best describe Hemesh? A. Strong-willed and adventurous. B. Warm-hearted and creative. C. Responsible and sensitive. D. Stubborn and generous. C After a heavy snowstorm, I ran outside excitedly to build a snowman. No matter how hard 1 rolled my snowball, it refused to grow. After resting for a while, I restarted the job. Then I noticed I had an audience — a prim (古板的)-looking couple with obvious disapproval. My face turned red as I tried to answer their unspoken question: Don’t you have anything better to do? An adult playing by herself seems strange, but maybe it shouldn’t. New research suggests that modern adults have ignored their play instinct (本能). Most animals stop playing as adults. However, there are a handful of animals that never stop. One possibility is that adult play is important and beneficial, a theory supported by a study. Researchers left some puzzle boxes for some monkeys to solve. To get the food inside, they had to drop a rock into the container. The monkeys that previously had dropped rocks for fun were more likely to solve the puzzle. This finding also suggests somewhere in our evolutionary history, a playful human invented stone tools. Even today, the urge to play accounts for some of humanity’s greatest inventions. Adult play promotes inclusivity, cooperation and creativity — all qualities that we humans could use. Unfortunately, social norms hold back our urge to let loose. When studying the last remaining hunter-gatherer communities. Peter Gray, a play researcher at Boston College, noticed they were often described as “joyful”. “This makes evolutionary sense,” Gray says. “Generally speaking, we like to do things that are necessary for our survival.” Humans took one giant step away from fun when we started planting crops. We spent a lot of time plowing (耕) fields, so we had much less time to play. With threats like climate change, it’s easy to get into seriousness. But we should understand the value of encouraging adult play. The next time I’m caught playing, I know what to say, “I’m playing for the benefit of all humanity. You’re welcome.” 8. Why did the author feel embarrassed? A. She considered herself too old to play. B. She was judged to behave improperly. C. She had a hard job making a snowman. D. She was laughed at while playing as an adult. 9. What can be inferred about adult play from paragraph 3? A. It promotes human evolution. B. It is the natural need of humans. C. It is particularly noticeable in animals. D. It can contribute to useful inventions. 10. Which of the following may let humans reduce the pleasure of playing? A. Climate change. B. The need to look for food. C. Modern science. D. The arrival of agriculture. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. Let’s play to save our world B Play is enjoyed not just by animals C. Why adults need to make time for play D. How adult play changed its role for humans D On August 21, 1986, a man making his way to Nyos, a village near a lake in northwest Cameroon, found dozens of dead animals along the road. He called into a home to see if the residents knew what had happened. Instead of getting answers, the man discovered that everyone in the village was dead, though they seemed otherwise unharmed. Within days, officials confirmed that more than 1,700 people had died, along with several thousand animals. The strange and tragic event seemed similar to one that occurred at Lake Monoun two years earlier, just 60 miles to the south, where villagers found 37 people and many animals dead along its shores. Initially, authorities were confused about the cause. Witnesses reported hearing strange sounds and seeing a sudden rise of white cloud from the lake, which quickly disappeared. Fortunately, the disaster caught the world’s attention. Scientists from around the globe gathered in Nyos to investigate. Because Lake Nyos sits on an inactive volcano, their first theory was that the volcano had erupted and sent poisonous gases into the air. After further research, however, they found the cause was much more unusual. The deadly events were called limnic (湖泊的) eruptions. Although deadly and terrifying, limnic eruptions are extremely unlikely. They occur when dissolved (溶解的) carbon dioxide (CO2) suddenly erupts from the deep waters of a lake, forming a deadly gas cloud above the surface. Because carbon dioxide is heavier than air, the cloud will sink toward the ground, killing wildlife, livestock and humans. Carbon dioxide dissolves more easily in the deep, cold parts of lakes. As a result, the bottom of deep lake can have very high levels of carbon dioxide, while the levels decrease towards the lake’s surface, and the pressure at the bottom builds and builds. Any changes in pressure can set off the rapid and forceful release of the accumulated carbon dioxide, causing an eruption. It’s unclear what caused the lakes to explode, but considering they’re near the Oku Volcanic Field, it’s possible that an earthquake or a small volcanic eruption occurred before each disaster. 12. Why are the numbers mentioned in paragraph 2? A. To arouse the empathy of the readers. B. To display the destructive effect of the events. C. To prove the necessity of preparing for disasters. D. To highlight the difficulty looking into the cause. 13. What is to blame for the mass deaths in Nyos? A. High concentrations of CO2. B. The great power of the lake explosion. C. Poisonous gases from a volcano eruption. D. The lake water flooding the nearby villages. 14. Which may have nothing to do with limnic eruptions? A. An earthquake. B. Dissolved carbon dioxide. C. Great pressure differences. D. Warm environments. 15. Where is the text probably taken from? A. A charity poster. B. A biography. C. A science magazine. D. A cultural website. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Come Up with Innovative Ideas Success in today’s dynamic and competitive business environment is significantly influenced by innovation, serving as a key driver for progress. ____16____ So, how can you unlock your creative genius and come up with ideas that will set you apart from others?

Still, when someone is asked to sacrifice something in order to be with their loved ones in good health, it can be hard. That was the situation one man was put in two decades ago when his wife was diagnosed with cancer. Years ago, Wesley Ryan learned his wife, Laura, had been diagnosed with cancer. The medical bills were piling up, and he knew in order to continue making ends meet, he would have to sell his beloved car. Wesley loved that car and even nicknamed it Christine, based on the 1958 Plymouth Fury from Stephen King’s book, Christine. However, Laura meant more to him, and Wesley wanted her to continue getting the care she needed. So he handed over the keys. “I know how much it broke him in half seeing that car drive away from him,” his son, Jake, wrote online. “It’s a day that I’ll never forget.” Jake and his sister, Jeni, knew they wanted to help their dad reunite with the car he’d loved so much. And over the years, the siblings had saved up enough money. So they started an online search and surprisingly, they were able to track down the old car online. Actually the man who bought the car found out about Wesley’s story and the meaning behind the beloved vehicle by accident. Moved by the sacrifice one man had made for his family and how his family stepped up to repay him in the sweetest way possible, he soon got in touch with Jake, who purchased it as soon as possible. And after careful consideration, Jake and Jeni decided to surprise their dad in a nearby parking lot. Moreover, Laura, cancer-free for 13 years at the time, joined them for the big reveal. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Finally, the day came when Wesley reunited with his beloved car. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Wesley’s hands trembled as he reached out to confirm that it was real. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力：1—5 ABCBA 6—10 CAABB 11—15 CACBC 16—20CACBB 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
