B The example of a foreign teacher who volunteered to help fight the wildfires in Chongqing’s Beibei District with other local residents has touched many. In the unbearable heat and drought conditions, multiple wildfires hit parts of Chongqing. On Sunday night, a forest fire broke out and spread in Beibei District. The local government issued an urgent call for volunteers with certain skills and experience, such as chain saw（链锯）operation, to join in the firefighting. Chain saws were used to create fire barriers. “I was happy to help,” said Francis Stonier, a professor in a university. “I used to cut trees around my yard and neighborhood and had volunteered many times in the US in the past.” Stonier found a translator—50-year-old He Wu, a foreign language professor—who also signed up to fight fires. Soon after arriving at the volunteer area, the pair were assigned to one of the chain saw groups—examining and adjusting chain saws. “Stonier is responsible and focused, and is doing a really good job,” said He, adding that Stonier checked each chain saw carefully, to see if it was too tight or too loose. “Wherever I went, the volunteers and local residents gave me a big thumbs-up. It was an unforgettable experience,” Stonier said. Thanks to the joint efforts of fire and rescue workers, as well as volunteers and residents, the scaring wildfire in Beibei had been put out as of Thursday night. “It was great to see such an outpouring of help in the extreme heat,” Stonier said, noting that he was impressed with the number of locals who came to help. Motorcyclists gave up their jobs to transport materials and people up and down the mountains. Others gave their time to carry heavy supplies, prepare and serve meals or help organize. 24. What caused the outbreak of the forest fire in Beibei District? A. The extreme heat and drought. B. The local area being short of water. C. The existence of enough oil materials. D. The lack of people guarding the forest. 25. Why was Stonier accepted to participate in the firefighting? A. He was capable of creating fire barriers. B. He was experienced in chain saw operation. C. He was determined to become a firefighter. D. He showed no consideration for his own safety. 26. Which words can best describe Stonier? A. Determined and creative. B. Generous and independent. C. Devoted and courageous. D. Humorous and passionate. 27. What message does the author intend to convey in the last paragraph? A. To care is to help. B. Many hands make light work. C. Dare to challenge and achieve yourself. D. Nothing is impossible to a willing heart. C Carbon dioxide emissions from transportation are now thought as the top source of green-house gases. One of the most effective ways to reduce your carbon footprint is to reconsider how much, and how often, you travel. Going car free for a year could save about 2. 6 tons of carbon dioxide, according to a study from the University of British Columbia. How can you stop using a car? Try taking a train, bus or better yet, riding a bike. But let’s be realistic. You will likely need to use a car this year. So, when you do, here are some tips to make your trip more climate-friendly. Driving efficiently can help to reduce emissions. Go easy on the gas and brakes and drive like you have an egg under your foot. Regularly service your car to keep it more efficient. Keeping your tires pumped correctly can re-duce emissions. Low tire pressure will hurt your fuel economy. Air conditioning and frequent city driving can make emissions go up. So cut down on these as often as possible. Use cruise control (定速巡航) on long drives-in most cases, this can help to save gas. Don’t weigh your car down with extra things that you don’t need on your trip. Fly often? Taking one fewer long round-trip flight could reduce your personal carbon footprint significantly. If you use public transportation often and fly less, your carbon foot-print might still be relatively sustainable, but if you drive and fly a lot, your emissions will be sigher. If you can’t avoid flying, you can offset them by donating money to sustainable proacts, such as supplying efficient stoves to rural homes, or projects which help farmers deal with crop waste environmentally. 28. What does the author think of going car free? A. Efficient. B. Costly. C. Impractical. D. Reliable. 29. Which can be adopted to save fuel of your car? A. Maintaining your car properly. B. Using cruise control in the city. C. Stepping hard on the gas and brakes. D. Geiting rid of all the necessary loads. 30. What does the underlined word “offset” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Make up for. B. Team up with. C. Set foot in. D. Put up with. 31. Which is the best title for the text? A. How to save fuel when driving cars B. How to reduce your carbon footprint C Reduce carbon footprint by all means D. Lower carbon footprint in transportation D Chinese astronauts have successfully grown rice seedlings(幼苗)aboard the Tiangong space station and this experiment may offer key insights into how astronauts can grow food to support long—term space missions, experts said on Monday. This experiment is the first to produce the complete life cycle of the plant, which begins with a seed and ends with a mature plant producing new seeds. The breakthrough was conducted in the Wentian space laboratory, which was launched into orbit on July 24, 2022. Three astronauts were conducting the experiment smoothly and testing the plants according to the plan. “The rice seedlings are growing very well,” said Zheng Huiqiong, a researcher of the task, adding that the experiment also contained seedlings of a small flowering plant often used by scientists to study mutations(变异). “The astronauts will keep monitoring the plants, and if it is successful, they will collect the newly produced seeds and bring them back to Earth for further studies,” she noted The flowering stage is crucial for plant reproductive development. “We want to investigate how microgravity can affect the plant flowering time and whether it is possible to use the microgravity environment to control the related process,” she said. Since the 1980s, China has been taking seeds of rice and other crops to space to help them mutate and produce higher yields once they were planted on Earth. But growing rice in orbit is a different challenge due to the tough conditions of space such as microgravity and lack of air. Rice has been a main food for astronauts since the early days of space exploration. Freeze—dried chicken and rice was the menu for the Apollo 11 mission, which carried the first humans to land on the moon in July 1969. “But if we want to land on and explore Mars, bringing food from Earth is not enough to provide for the astronauts’ long journey and mission in space. We have to find a food source for long term space explorations,” Zheng added. 32. What’s the significance of Chinese recent space rice experiment? A. It enables human beings to move to another planet. B. It helps people get a better idea of the human life cycle. C. It inspires more other countries to do space explorations D. It makes it possible to carry out long—term space missions 33. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 3 refer to? A. The mutation. B. The experiment. C. The exploration. D. The space mission. 34. Why have crop seeds been brought to space since the last century? A. To promote genetic changes and increase crop harvest. B. To figure out how to create an earth—like environment. C. To study the impact of microgravity on crop growth. D. To develop new crop species with strong ability to adapt. 35. Where is the text most probably from? A. A medical report. B. A fashion magazine. C. A science newspaper. D. A history book. 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读短文，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。 According to a common saying, “Honesty is the best policy.” ___36___ Lying often seems like a good way to impress people or avoid blame for mistakes. Some people lie out of habit, without even realizing they’re doing it. But despite all this, honesty really is worth the effort. One obvious reason for honesty is that lies are difficult to maintain. There’s always a chance that the person you lied to will find out the truth. ___37___ Lies are also difficult to hide because they are harder to remember than the truth. If you make up a story, you have to remember all the details. ___38___ But if you commit to telling the truth, you will never have trouble remembering. This saves you effort and makes conversations less stressful for you. Another obvious reason to avoid lying is that lying can harm others. People who believe your lies might make bad decisions because of them. And a lie about someone else could destroy that person’s reputation. On a personal level, if your friends find out you lied to them, their feeling will be hurt. They will question whether they can trust you or wonder whether you care about them. In contrast, if you always tell the truth, you will develop a reputation for honesty. ___39___ Business deals, friendships, family and romantic relationships all depend on trust ___40___ Sometimes it’s best to remain silent if your words might hurt someone else. Honesty means that when you speak, you tell the truth without holding any information back. When you do that, you will feel more relaxed and enjoy stronger relationships. A. This will help you in every area of your life. B. But in daily life, honesty can be difficult. C. Is the gain from lying really worth the risk? D. We will get others’ respect and appreciation if telling the truth0 E. Being honest is a basic principle for us to deal with others. F. Honesty, however, doesn’t mean you have to say everything in your mind. G. And the more lies you tell, the more stories you have to remember. 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。 It’s a sad reality that many of us find ourselves just too busy to contribute to our communities.

Money was very short for his family because his mother was ill. Every weekend, Will would mow his neighbors lawns to earn a little money. One hot dry morning, on his way to school, Will saw a man sitting on the roadside with his head in his hands. Not far away was his truck. Previously, the man spared no efforts in repairing it, but he failed, exhausted and thirsty. Will came up to him, ready to help. Hearing Will’s greeting, the man raised his head, looked at Will and asked for some water. Learning that he had even not had breakfast, Will walked into a shop, fingering the money in his pocket. Eventually, he picked up sandwiches and water. They cost all his money! He shrugged, walked back and handed him the food. The man received the supplies gratefully and they shared the brief meal while introducing themselves. Allan, a boss with a small factory who delivered goods by himself, smiled,” The delivering job is so tiring that nobody seems to want it. By the way, thank you for your food. I’m sorry that I forget to take money with me today. I’ll..” “It’s OK. My mom always says we should be kind to the world, and the world will be kind to you!” Will shrugged, “As for the job, don’t worry. There must be someone wanting to take it.” “Perhaps. Today, I feel kindness in the world like your mom says. Maybe she is the one the world has been kind to.” Allan commented. Will lowered his head, explaining quietly his mother’s situation and his father’s just being out of work because of the bankrupt of the company. Will pointed at a house. “My dad says we’ll have to sell it to pay for mom’s treatment. Sometimes, I hope the world could be kind to our family soon.” Tears rolled down Will’s cheeks and Allan patted his back gently. But soon, Will wiped his face, shouldered his school bag, waved goodbye to Allan and rushed for school, never imagining he would see Allan ever again. Allan stared at Will’s fading figure, lost in thought. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 After school, Will saw the truck parked in front of his house. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Hearing the good news, Will turned overjoyed. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 沈阳市翔宇中学2023-2024学年第二学期月考试题 高二英语 （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。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。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。每段对话仅读一词。 例：How much is the shirt?

We lack determination. B. We don’t think we can. C. We’re born different from them. 【答案】14. A 15. B 16. A 17. B 【解析】 【原文】W: I’m reading a book right now that’s about the Mexican life runners. M: What has the book talked about? W: People who can run for days. M: Days? W: Yeah, and some of them are already in their eighties and nineties and they run barefoot in the desert. M: Wow. W: They’re born to run. As soon as they learn to walk, they are running and they run their whole lives, running a hundred miles is just like a walk in the park to them. M: It sounds like that’s impossible. The human body cannot run too far because it needs water. It needs food. It needs rest. W: I think part of the idea of the book is that we’re limited by our belief in that. In fact, the life runners don’t have that belief. Therefore, they don’t have those limits. Nobody told them they couldn’t. So they… M: They just do it. W: Nobody told them they needed a sport field or a pair of, you know, hundred Dollar shoes in order to run. They just run. It’s like it’s a natural human thing. M: Wow. 听下面一段独白，回答以下小题。【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 18. Which of the following is not part of the eco-car? A. The air tank. B. The luggage trunk. C. The fuel pump. 19. Where is the speaker’s interest in the eco-car from? A. His interest in light fiberglass. B. His experience at a design fair. C. His concern about the environment. 20. What’s the eco-car like? A. It runs on regular fuel. B. It’s quiet and safe. C. Its body is made of steel. 【答案】18. C 19. C 20. B 【解析】 【原文】M: I became interested in eco-friendly transport when I discovered how much cars contribute to air pollution and global warming. This echo car is amazing. It’s called the air car because it’s designed to run on air. The designer was interested in the challenge of designing a car that runs on new energy. When the first motto was shown at the Paris design fair, people were surprised at its lack of noise and how safe it was. Inventors were impressed by the technology that allows the car to use air at speeds less than fifty kilometers an hour. The car looks just like a normal car inside, with four seats and a trunk for luggage. The car is cheap to run because it runs on air that is stored in a tank. Plus, its body is made of light fiberglass, not heavy steel like most cars. In the future, gas stations will have special pumps for drivers to refill their air tank, just like they refill with regular fuel now. The best news, of course, is that aircar produces zero greenhouse gas at low speeds. 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A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。 A Henry Raeburn (1756-1823) The Exhibition This exhibition of some sixty masterpieces celebrating the life and work of Scotland’s best loved painter, Sir Henry Raeburn, comes to London.

(10月30日星期四)”可知，在10月30日星期四可以去参加Raeburn’s English Contemporaries。故选B项。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四个小标题Admission部分“£4. Children under 12 years accompanied by an adult are admitted free.(4英镑。12岁以下儿童在一位成人陪同下免费入场)”可知，一对夫妇应付4+4=8英镑，两个12岁以下的儿童在成人陪同下免费，即入场费为8英镑。故选B项。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“A special low entrance charge of £2 per person is available to all in full-time education, up to and including those at first degree level, in organised groups with teachers.(所有全日制教育的学生，高至并包括那些学士学位水平的学生，在有教师的组织团体中，均可享受每人2英镑的特别低入场费)”可知，全日制学生在有教师的组织团体中，可以获得折扣，即他们必须由教师带领。故选C项。 【点睛】 B The example of a foreign teacher who volunteered to help fight the wildfires in Chongqing’s Beibei District with other local residents has touched many. In the unbearable heat and drought conditions, multiple wildfires hit parts of Chongqing. On Sunday night, a forest fire broke out and spread in Beibei District. The local government issued an urgent call for volunteers with certain skills and experience, such as chain saw（链锯）operation, to join in the firefighting. Chain saws were used to create fire barriers. “I was happy to help,” said Francis Stonier, a professor in a university. “I used to cut trees around my yard and neighborhood and had volunteered many times in the US in the past.” Stonier found a translator—50-year-old He Wu, a foreign language professor—who also signed up to fight fires. Soon after arriving at the volunteer area, the pair were assigned to one of the chain saw groups—examining and adjusting chain saws. “Stonier is responsible and focused, and is doing a really good job,” said He, adding that Stonier checked each chain saw carefully, to see if it was too tight or too loose. “Wherever I went, the volunteers and local residents gave me a big thumbs-up. It was an unforgettable experience,” Stonier said. Thanks to the joint efforts of fire and rescue workers, as well as volunteers and residents, the scaring wildfire in Beibei had been put out as of Thursday night. “It was great to see such an outpouring of help in the extreme heat,” Stonier said, noting that he was impressed with the number of locals who came to help. Motorcyclists gave up their jobs to transport materials and people up and down the mountains. Others gave their time to carry heavy supplies, prepare and serve meals or help organize. 24. What caused the outbreak of the forest fire in Beibei District? A. The extreme heat and drought. B. The local area being short of water. C. The existence of enough oil materials. D. The lack of people guarding the forest. 25. Why was Stonier accepted to participate in the firefighting? A. He was capable of creating fire barriers. B. He was experienced in chain saw operation. C. He was determined to become a firefighter. D. He showed no consideration for his own safety. 26. Which words can best describe Stonier? A. Determined and creative. B. Generous and independent. C. Devoted and courageous. D. Humorous and passionate. 27. What message does the author intend to convey in the last paragraph? A. To care is to help. B. Many hands make light work. C. Dare to challenge and achieve yourself. D. Nothing is impossible to a willing heart. 【答案】24. A 25. B 26. C 27. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了外籍教师Francis Stonier自愿与其他当地居民一起帮助扑灭重庆北碚区的野火的感人事迹。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“In the unbearable heat and drought conditions, multiple wildfires hit parts of Chongqing. On Sunday night, a forest fire broke out and spread in Beibei District.(在难以忍受的高温和干旱条件下，多起野火袭击了重庆部分地区。周日晚上，北碚区发生森林火灾并蔓延。)”可知，造成北碚区发生森林火灾的原因是极端高温和干旱。故选A。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“The local government issued an urgent call for volunteers with certain skills and experience, such as chain saw operation, to join in the firefighting. Chain saws were used to create fire barriers.(当地政府紧急呼吁具有一定技能和经验（如链锯操作）的志愿者加入救火。链锯被用来制造防火屏障。)”可知，政府需要有使用链锯操作经验的志愿者。根据文章第三段“I used to cut trees around my yard and neighborhood and had volunteered many times in the US in the past.(我过去经常在我的院子和社区周围砍树，也曾多次在美国做志愿者。)”可知，Stonier之前有砍树的经验，而砍树是需要操作链锯的，可推测出他会使用链锯。所以Stonier可以参加救火是因为他有操作链锯的经验。故选B。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“On Sunday night, a forest fire broke out and spread in Beibei District.(周日晚上，北碚区发生森林火灾并蔓延。)”和第三段“‘I was happy to help,’ said Francis Stonier, a professor in a university. ‘I used to cut trees around my yard and neighborhood and had volunteered many times in the US in the past.’(“我很乐意帮忙，”一所大学的教授弗朗西斯·斯托尼尔说。)”可知，在北碚区发生森林火灾这么危险的情况下，Stonier还是乐意去帮忙，说明他是勇敢的；根据文章第五段“‘Stonier is responsible and focused, and is doing a really good job,’ said He, adding that Stonier checked each chain saw carefully, to see if it was too tight or too loose.(他说：“斯托尼尔很负责，很专注，工作做得很好。”他补充道，斯托尼尔仔细检查了每一把链锯，看看它是太紧还是太松了。)”可知，Stonier在志愿者活动期间工作非常认真负责，这说明他是全心全意来做这项工作的。C选项描述正确。故选C。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“‘It was great to see such an outpouring of help in the extreme heat,’ Stonier said, noting that he was impressed with the number of locals who came to help. Motorcyclists gave up their jobs to transport materials and people up and down the mountains. Others gave their time to carry heavy supplies, prepare and serve meals or help organize.(史托尼尔说：“在酷热的天气下，能看到这么多人伸出援手，真是太棒了。”他还指出，前来帮忙的当地人之多给他留下了深刻印象。骑摩托车的人放弃了工作，在山上来回运送物资和人员。其他人则花时间搬运沉重的物资，准备和提供饭菜，或者帮助组织。)”可知，在这场火灾中，不同身份的人们都齐聚在一起，共同为扑灭火灾而努力。所以作者想表达的是“众人拾柴火焰高，人多力量大”这一道理。B选项“Many hands make light work.(众人拾柴火焰高。)”符合语境。故选B。 C Carbon dioxide emissions from transportation are now thought as the top source of green-house gases. One of the most effective ways to reduce your carbon footprint is to reconsider how much, and how often, you travel. Going car free for a year could save about 2. 6 tons of carbon dioxide, according to a study from the University of British Columbia. How can you stop using a car? Try taking a train, bus or better yet, riding a bike. But let’s be realistic. You will likely need to use a car this year. So, when you do, here are some tips to make your trip more climate-friendly. Driving efficiently can help to reduce emissions. Go easy on the gas and brakes and drive like you have an egg under your foot. Regularly service your car to keep it more efficient. Keeping your tires pumped correctly can re-duce emissions. Low tire pressure will hurt your fuel economy. Air conditioning and frequent city driving can make emissions go up. So cut down on these as often as possible. Use cruise control (定速巡航) on long drives-in most cases, this can help to save gas. Don’t weigh your car down with extra things that you don’t need on your trip. Fly often? Taking one fewer long round-trip flight could reduce your personal carbon footprint significantly. If you use public transportation often and fly less, your carbon foot-print might still be relatively sustainable, but if you drive and fly a lot, your emissions will be sigher. If you can’t avoid flying, you can offset them by donating money to sustainable proacts, such as supplying efficient stoves to rural homes, or projects which help farmers deal with crop waste environmentally. 28. What does the author think of going car free? A. Efficient. B. Costly. C. Impractical. D. Reliable. 29. Which can be adopted to save fuel of your car? A. Maintaining your car properly. B. Using cruise control in the city. C. Stepping hard on the gas and brakes. D. Geiting rid of all the necessary loads. 30. What does the underlined word “offset” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Make up for. B. Team up with. C. Set foot in. D. Put up with. 31. Which is the best title for the text? A. How to save fuel when driving cars B. How to reduce your carbon footprint C. Reduce carbon footprint by all means D. Lower carbon footprint in transportation 【答案】28. C 29. A 30. A 31. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍如何选择适当的出行方式来降低运输过程中的碳足迹。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“How can you stop using a car? Try taking a train, bus or better yet, riding a bike.(你怎么能停止开车？试着坐火车、公共汽车，或者骑自行车)”和第三段“But let’s be realistic. You will likely need to use a car this year.(但让我们现实一点。今年你可能需要用车)”可知，作者认为不使用汽车是不切实际的。故选C。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Low tire pressure will hurt your fuel economy. Air conditioning and frequent city driving can make emissions go up. So cut down on these as often as possible. Use cruise control (定速巡航) on long drives-in most cases, this can help to save gas. Don’t weigh your car down with extra things that you don’t need on your trip.(轮胎气压过低会影响你的燃油经济性。空调和频繁的城市驾驶会使排放上升，所以尽可能减少这些排放。在长途驾驶中使用巡航控制——在大多数情况下，这可以帮助节省汽油。不要给你的车添置旅途中不需要的额外物品)”可知，适当的保养汽车可以节省汽车的燃油，故选A。 【30题详解】 词句猜测题。根据最后一段“If you can’t avoid flying, you can offset them by donating money to sustainable products, such as supplying efficient stoves to rural homes, or projects which help farmers deal with crop waste environmentally.(如果你不能避免坐飞机，你可以通过向可持续产品捐款来offset这些影响，比如向农村家庭提供高效炉灶，或者帮助农民环保处理作物废弃物的项目)”可知，这里是在建议用高效节能的方法来抵消因坐飞机而产生的碳足迹，故划线词offset的意思应该是“抵消，弥补”。故选A。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Carbon dioxide emissions from transportation are now thought as the top source of green-house gases. One of the most effective ways to reduce your carbon footprint is to reconsider how much, and how often, you travel.(交通运输产生的二氧化碳排放现在被认为是温室气体的首要来源。减少碳足迹的最有效方法之一是重新考虑你旅行的次数和频率)”以及文章主要讲述如何选择适当的出行方式来降低运输过程中的碳足迹。因此推断D项“降低交通运输中的碳足迹”为最佳标题。故选D。 D Chinese astronauts have successfully grown rice seedlings(幼苗)aboard the Tiangong space station and this experiment may offer key insights into how astronauts can grow food to support long—term space missions, experts said on Monday. This experiment is the first to produce the complete life cycle of the plant, which begins with a seed and ends with a mature plant producing new seeds. The breakthrough was conducted in the Wentian space laboratory, which was launched into orbit on July 24, 2022. Three astronauts were conducting the experiment smoothly and testing the plants according to the plan. “The rice seedlings are growing very well,” said Zheng Huiqiong, a researcher of the task, adding that the experiment also contained seedlings of a small flowering plant often used by scientists to study mutations(变异). “The astronauts will keep monitoring the plants, and if it is successful, they will collect the newly produced seeds and bring them back to Earth for further studies,” she noted The flowering stage is crucial for plant reproductive development. “We want to investigate how microgravity can affect the plant flowering time and whether it is possible to use the microgravity environment to control the related process,” she said. Since the 1980s, China has been taking seeds of rice and other crops to space to help them mutate and produce higher yields once they were planted on Earth. But growing rice in orbit is a different challenge due to the tough conditions of space such as microgravity and lack of air. Rice has been a main food for astronauts since the early days of space exploration. Freeze—dried chicken and rice was the menu for the Apollo 11 mission, which carried the first humans to land on the moon in July 1969. “But if we want to land on and explore Mars, bringing food from Earth is not enough to provide for the astronauts’ long journey and mission in space. We have to find a food source for long term space explorations,” Zheng added. 32. What’s the significance of Chinese recent space rice experiment? A. It enables human beings to move to another planet. B. It helps people get a better idea of the human life cycle. C. It inspires more other countries to do space explorations D. It makes it possible to carry out long—term space missions 33. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 3 refer to? A. The mutation. B. The experiment. C. The exploration. D. The space mission. 34. Why have crop seeds been brought to space since the last century? A. To promote genetic changes and increase crop harvest. B. To figure out how to create an earth—like environment. C. To study the impact of microgravity on crop growth. D. To develop new crop species with strong ability to adapt. 35. Where is the text most probably from? A. A medical report. B. A fashion magazine. C. A science newspaper. D. A history book. 【答案】32. D 33. B 34. A 35. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了中国宇航员在天宫空间站成功种植水稻幼苗，这项实验可能为宇航员如何种植粮食以支持长期太空任务提供关键见解。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Chinese astronauts have successfully grown rice seedlings(幼苗)aboard the Tiangong space station and this experiment may offer key insights into how astronauts can grow food to support long—term space missions, experts said on Monday.( 专家周一表示，中国宇航员已经成功地在天宫空间站上种植水稻幼苗，这一实验可能为宇航员如何种植食物以支持长期太空任务提供关键见解。)” 中国最近的太空水稻实验使执行长期太空任务成为可能，故选D。 【33题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段““The rice seedlings are growing very well,” said Zheng Huiqiong, a researcher of the task, adding that the experiment also contained seedlings of a small flowering plant often used by scientists to study mutations(变异).( “水稻幼苗长得很好，”该任务的研究员郑慧琼说，他补充说，该实验还包含了一种小型开花植物的幼苗，科学家经常用它来研究突变)”可知如果实验成功，他们将收集新产生的种子，并将它们带回地球进行进一步研究。故此处的it指代实验，故选B。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“Since the 1980s, China has been taking seeds of rice and other crops to space to help them mutate and produce higher yields once they were planted on Earth.(自20世纪80年代以来，中国一直在将水稻和其他作物的种子带到太空，帮助它们在地球上种植后发生突变，从而产生更高的产量。)”可推断自上个世纪以来农作物种子被带到太空，促进基因变化，提高作物产量。故选A。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Chinese astronauts have successfully grown rice seedlings(幼苗)aboard the Tiangong space station and this experiment may offer key insights into how astronauts can grow food to support long—term space missions, experts said on Monday.( 专家周一表示，中国宇航员已经成功地在天宫空间站上种植水稻幼苗，这一实验可能为宇航员如何种植食物以支持长期太空任务提供关键见解。)”可知文章是关于科学的一篇报道，故选C。 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读短文，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。 According to a common saying, “Honesty is the best policy.” ___36___ Lying often seems like a good way to impress people or avoid blame for mistakes. Some people lie out of habit, without even realizing they’re doing it. But despite all this, honesty really is worth the effort. One obvious reason for honesty is that lies are difficult to maintain. There’s always a chance that the person you lied to will find out the truth. ___37___ Lies are also difficult to hide because they are harder to remember than the truth. If you make up a story, you have to remember all the details. ___38___ But if you commit to telling the truth, you will never have trouble remembering. This saves you effort and makes conversations less stressful for you. Another obvious reason to avoid lying is that lying can harm others. People who believe your lies might make bad decisions because of them. And a lie about someone else could destroy that person’s reputation. On a personal level, if your friends find out you lied to them, their feeling will be hurt. They will question whether they can trust you or wonder whether you care about them. In contrast, if you always tell the truth, you will develop a reputation for honesty. ___39___ Business deals, friendships, family and romantic relationships all depend on trust ___40___ Sometimes it’s best to remain silent if your words might hurt someone else. Honesty means that when you speak, you tell the truth without holding any information back. When you do that, you will feel more relaxed and enjoy stronger relationships. A. This will help you in every area of your life. B. But in daily life, honesty can be difficult. C. Is the gain from lying really worth the risk? D. We will get others’ respect and appreciation if telling the truth0 E. Being honest is a basic principle for us to deal with others. F. Honesty, however, doesn’t mean you have to say everything in your mind. G. And the more lies you tell, the more stories you have to remember. 【答案】36. B 37. C 38. G 39. A 40. F 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，文章讲述了人们不要撒谎的原因，以及诚实的重要性。 【36题详解】 根据后文“Lying often seems like a good way to impress people or avoid blame for mistakes.(撒谎似乎是给人们留下深刻印象或避免错误指责的好方法。)”可知撒谎似乎是给人留下深刻印象或避免犯错的好方法。由此可知，日常生活中要保持诚实是难的事情。B选项“But in daily life, honesty can be difficult.(但在日常生活中，诚实可能很困难。)”引起下文，强调在现实生活中，诚实不是很容易能够做到的，与下文的付出努力呼应。故选B。 【37题详解】 根据前文“One obvious reason for honesty is that lies are difficult to maintain. There’s always a chance that the person you lied to will find out the truth.(诚实的一个明显原因是谎言很难维持。你撒谎的人总是有可能发现真相。)”可知，此处强调的是撒谎始终会被人发现，因此撒谎是有风险性的。C选项“Is the gain from lying really worth the risk?(撒谎获得的好处真的值得冒险吗？)”承接上文，强调这种益处值得冒险么？故选C。 【38题详解】 根据前文“Lies are also difficult to hide because they are harder to remember than the truth. If you make up a story, you have to remember all the details. (谎言也很难隐藏，因为它们比真相更难记住。如果你编造一个故事，你必须记住所有的细节。)”可知，此处强调谎言很难隐藏，编造一个故事，必须记住所有的细节，即撒谎越多就需要记住更多的细节。G选项“And the more lies you tell, the more stories you have to remember.(你说的谎言越多，你必须记住的故事就越多。)”承接上文，此处story与前文呼应。故选G。 【39题详解】 根据前文“In contrast, if you always tell the truth, you will develop a reputation for honesty.(相比之下，如果你总是说实话，你就会建立诚实的声誉。)”可知，此处强调说实话的好处。A选项“This will help you in every area of your life.(这将在你生活的每个领域帮助你。)”中的this指代的是前文的“说实话”，符合文意。故选A。 【40题详解】 根据后文“Sometimes it’s best to remain silent if your words might hurt someone else. (有时，如果你的话可能会伤害别人，最好保持沉默。)”可知，此处强调有的时候要保持沉默，即不说出自己想说的一切，因为这有可能对别人造成伤害。F选项“Honesty, however, doesn’t mean you have to say everything in your mind.(然而，诚实并不意味着你必须说出你脑海中的一切。)”引起下文，即诚实并意味着要说出你想的一切，有的时候要保持沉默，避免带来消极后果。故选F。 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。 It’s a sad reality that many of us find ourselves just too busy to contribute to our communities.

D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。作者之前一直认为自己太忙，导致无法花费太多的时间、金钱和精力为社区作出贡献。但是后来通过“日行一善”的计划，作者和女儿帮助了别人，也改变了自己的想法。 【41题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：在很长一段时间里我也认为如果要真正改变现状，需要花费太多的时间、金钱和精力。A. energy精力；B. space空间；C. wisdom智慧；D. salary 薪水。并列连词and 前后连接的名词含义应保持一致，所以空格处应与“time”和“money”意思相近，所以选项A符合题意，且呼应前文的busy。故选A项。 【42题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：但当我开始我的“日行一善”计划时，一切都改变了。A. stopped停止；B. started开始；C. forgot忘记；D. remembered记得。根据前文可知，作者之前认为我们平时太忙，忙到没时间和精力去为社区做事情，这种想法在作者“开始”实行“日行一善”计划后改变了。故选B项。 【43题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：我的女儿Emily是我最初的灵感来源。A. donation捐赠；B. expectation期待；C. celebration庆祝；D. inspiration激励，灵感。根据后文“I wanted to show her we could do little things to help others, and be happy.(我想让她知道，我们可以做一些小事来帮助别人，并且开心)”可知，作者想让女儿知道做小事情可以帮助他人，自己也会快乐，这是作者做“一日善举”计划的起因，所以女儿是作者做事情最初的“灵感”。故选D项。 【44题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：第一周我并不确定我是否能够成功。A. get得到；B. manage管理，设法做成；C. put放；D. appreciate感激，欣赏。本句话中代词it 指代前文的“good-deed-a-day project”，所以作者不确定自己能否“成功”实施这个计划。故选B项。 【45题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：有一天，我在地铁站给一个盲人当向导。A. watched观看；B. waited等待；C. guided指引，带领；D. ordered命令，点单。根据后文“He smiled as he thanked me.”提示盲人感谢了作者，说明作者在地铁站帮助了盲人，应该是给盲人当向导了。故选C项。 【46题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：另一天，我把花园里的花送到了当地的一家养老院……我只希望我能唤起别人的意识。A. interest兴趣；B. mercy怜悯；C. awareness意识；D. praise赞赏。根据前文语义，作者目前每天都在做好事，她也同时希望自己的举动能够唤醒他人去做善事的“意识”，去帮助他人。故选C项。 【47题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。我知道我产生了影响。A. discovery发现；B. difference区别；C. mistake错误；D. fortune运气。根据前文关键词“easier”可知，作者发现实施的效果比想象的还要容易，说明结果是好的，产生了积极的影响，make a difference 表示“有影响，起作用”。与上文第一段中“For a long time, I, too, believed it cost too much in time, money and ____ to make a real difference.”作者曾经认为产生影响很难形成对比，故选B项。 【48题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：每天晚上吃饭时，我都向Emily描述那天我做的好事。A. reminded使想起；B. pointed指出；C. recalled回忆；D. described描述。根据空格后动词“copying”可知，作者先得告诉女儿自己做了什么，女儿才能进行模仿。故选D项。 【49题详解】 考查动词短语辨析。句意：在放学回家的路上，女儿走到邻居家前，扶正了那盆被风刮倒了的天竺葵。A. set right修正，校正；B. set up建立；C. set out 出发，动身；D. set aside省出，抽出。根据下一句“That was my good deed for the day!(这是我今天做的好事)”可知，Emily扶正了那盆被风刮倒了的天竺葵。故选A项。 【50题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：另一天，她帮我从邻居那里为食品银行募集捐赠。A. money金钱；B. vegetables蔬菜；C. donations捐赠；D. clothes衣服。根据后文提示词“food bank”，可知空格和“捐赠”有关。故选C项。 【51题详解】 考查连词词义辨析。句意：我们放下食物开车离开时，Emily骄傲地宣布，她希望有一天能在那里工作。A. before在……之前；B. since自从；C. until直到；D. as当……时候。根据前后文语义，忙完捐赠之后，女儿是在作者开车路上的时候告诉我她希望有一天在食品银行工作。所以空格处缺连词as，引导时间状语从句。故选D项。 【52题详解】 考查副词词义辨析。句意：我们放下食物开车离开时，Emily骄傲地宣布，她希望有一天能在那里工作。A. proudly自豪地；B. eagerly渴望地；C. anxiously焦虑地；D. casually随机地。根据后文“she wanted to work there one day”可知，Emily是喜欢在食品银行工作的，所以空格处为积极的感情色彩。结合前文可知对自己做好事，Emily感到自豪。故选A项。 【53题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：起初，我并不完全相信我能每天都做一件好事。A. concerned关心；B. convinced相信，信服；C. expected期待，预料；D. persuade说服。根据前文“By the last week, I knew I’d changed.”可知，作者到上周的时候知道自己改变了。空格所在的句子是过去完成时，发生在“知道自己改变”之前，所以在此之前，作者是“不知道/不相信”自己会每天做好事，呼应前文“The first week, I wasn’t sure if I could ____ it.”。故选B项。 【54题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：现在日行一善几乎成了第二天性。A. scene场景；B. language语言；C. nature天性，本质；D. skill技巧。根据后文提示词“responsibility”，作者认为做好事已经是自己的职责了，所以日行一善这件事几乎成为自己内在的天性了。故选C项。 【55题详解】 考查介词短语辨析。句意：当我看到需要的时候，我觉得有更大的责任去采取行动，而不是视而不见。A. by means of通过……方法；B. regardless of不管；C. as well as和；D. instead of而不是。根据前文可知，作者主张日行一善的，所以空格处表示“而不是”的含义，采取行动帮助他人“而不是”视而不见。故选D项。 第二节（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分） 语法填空 The Art of Chinese Xinjiang Uyghur Muqam (新疆维吾尔木卡姆艺术) is a ___56___(represent) name of various kinds of Muqam in Northwest China’s Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region (自治区), ___57___ was declared one of the UNESCO Masterpieces of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity in 2005.

Money was very short for his family because his mother was ill. Every weekend, Will would mow his neighbors lawns to earn a little money. One hot dry morning, on his way to school, Will saw a man sitting on the roadside with his head in his hands. Not far away was his truck. Previously, the man spared no efforts in repairing it, but he failed, exhausted and thirsty. Will came up to him, ready to help. Hearing Will’s greeting, the man raised his head, looked at Will and asked for some water. Learning that he had even not had breakfast, Will walked into a shop, fingering the money in his pocket. Eventually, he picked up sandwiches and water. They cost all his money! He shrugged, walked back and handed him the food. The man received the supplies gratefully and they shared the brief meal while introducing themselves. Allan, a boss with a small factory who delivered goods by himself, smiled,” The delivering job is so tiring that nobody seems to want it. By the way, thank you for your food. I’m sorry that I forget to take money with me today. I’ll..” “It’s OK. My mom always says we should be kind to the world, and the world will be kind to you!” Will shrugged, “As for the job, don’t worry. There must be someone wanting to take it.” “Perhaps. Today, I feel kindness in the world like your mom says. Maybe she is the one the world has been kind to.” Allan commented. Will lowered his head, explaining quietly his mother’s situation and his father’s just being out of work because of the bankrupt of the company. Will pointed at a house. “My dad says we’ll have to sell it to pay for mom’s treatment. Sometimes, I hope the world could be kind to our family soon.” Tears rolled down Will’s cheeks and Allan patted his back gently. But soon, Will wiped his face, shouldered his school bag, waved goodbye to Allan and rushed for school, never imagining he would see Allan ever again. Allan stared at Will’s fading figure, lost in thought. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 After school, Will saw the truck parked in front of his house. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Hearing the good news, Will turned overjoyed. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文一∶ After school, Will saw the truck parked in front of his house. Puzzled and curious, he quickened his pace, wondering who would be the unexpected visitor.

Astonished to see the scene, he asked curiously, “ Are you old acquaintance?” His father beamed up, “No, but Mr. Allan have told me what had happened this morning and he offered to give me a job, as a deliveryman!” Hearing the good news, Will turned overjoyed. He asked eagerly, “Dad, with this job, do we need to sell our house?” “Probably not! At least it can help cover the medical expenses!” His father responded. Wearing a big smile on his face, Will expressed his heartfelt gratitude to Allan, offering that he would also help deliver the goods in the following summer vacation! Moved by the little boy, Allan stroked his head, “The vvorld will be kind to the one with a kind heart!” Leaning against the door was the father, who felt relieved, not only for the precious job, but for the kind boy. (175 words) 范文二∶ After school, Will saw the truck parked in front of his house. Will rushed in. To his amazement, Allen, the man whom he imagined he wouldn’t see ever again, was talking with his dad. At the sight of Will, Allen waved at him with a smile while his dad gave him a sudden hug, who learned the whole story from Allen, touched and delighted. Tears rolling in his eyes, he shared good news with Will. In return for Will’s kindness, Allen offered his father a job as a driver in his factory. Hearing of the good news, Will turned overjoyed. He hugged Allen with a dump in his throat, tears welling up. Allen patted his head and appreciated the precious kindness. Even thought they had to sell the house for his mother’s treatment, Will could still buy food for a stranger. Allen asked,” We should be kind to the world, and the world will be kind to you, isn’t it?“ Listening to the words, Will burst into tears again，but this time warm and delighted.

Will’s father gratefully explained that it is Allan who offered him the job opportunity at this hard time, and Allan even tried to make every effort to provide necessary helps for their family. Will was deeply touched, with a choking voice, he said, “Thank you. but I don’t know how to pay for your kindness.” “You owe me nothing, Will You are kind to the world, and the world is kind to you now.”(160) 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了威尔是一个9岁的男孩，他是一个非常善良的人，他把断了翅膀的鸟带回了家。因为他母亲病了，他家里很缺钱。每个周末，威尔都会给邻居修剪草坪，赚点小钱。一个炎热干燥的早晨，威尔在去学校的路上，看见一个人双手抱头坐在路边，于是帮助了这个名叫艾伦的人。最后这个人也帮助了威尔一家。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“放学后，威尔看到卡车停在他家门前。”可知，第一段可描写艾伦来到威尔家，给他父亲提供工作的情况。 ②由第二段首句内容“听到这个好消息，威尔欣喜若狂。”可知，第二段可描写威尔一家得到的帮助。 2.续写线索：看到卡车——帮助——感谢——陪回家——拒绝——感悟 3.词汇激活 行类 看见：see/spot 提议：offer/propose 表达：express/convey 情绪类 惊讶：astonished / surprised 感谢：gratitude / appreciation 【点睛】[高分句型1] Hardly had he stepped into the doorway when he noticed that Allan, the man he met in the morning, was talking with his father.

When the first model was shown at the paris design fair, people were surprised that its lack of noise and how safe IT was.

Now the best news, of course, is that air car produces zero Greenhouse gas at low speeds.
