Some stadiums have celebrated more success than others, but each ground has its own rich heritage and unique atmosphere. Craven Cottage, London Craven Cottage was designed by the Glaswegian architect Archibald Leitch, who built 20 major football stadiums in the UK, including Chelsea’s Stamford Bridge. The“cottage”itself, lying on one corner of the pitch (球场), was added by Leitch because he’d forgotten to have changing rooms in the original design. Capacity: 25,700. Tickets: Adult (18+) £19.99 Children under 18 £9.99 Family bonus: 2 adults+1 child £39.97 Visiting time: Mon-Sat, 8:30 — 20:30 Anfield, Liverpool Anfield saw the fulfillment of many dreams. Located in the solidly working-class area of north Liverpool, it’s another ground built by Archibald Leitch. It was torn down in 1994 with the coming of all-seated stadiums, but plans are now underway for a £260 m upgrade including a hotel and a “food hub”. Capacity: 45,500. Tickets: Adult (18+) £15.99 Children under 18£8.99 Visiting time: Mon-Fri, 9:00 — 20:00 Old Trafford, Manchester You’d be hard pushed to find any football fan who hasn’t heard of Old Trafford. The stadium, yet another ground designed by Leitch, has been Manchester United’s home since 1910. However, no games were played between 1941 and 1949. In 2008, to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Manchester United’s first European Cup win, a statue of George Best, Denis Law and Bobby Charlton was displayed. Capacity: 75,800. Tickets: Adult (18+) £16.99 Children under 18 £8.99 Visiting time: Tue-Sat, 9:00 — 21:00 21. How much will a couple with 3 children pay for entering Craven Cottage? A. £68.95. B. £58.95. C. £59.95. D. £60.95. 22. Which stadium was once destroyed according to the passage? A. Anfield. B. Craven Cottage. C. Stamford Bridge. D. Old Trafford. 23. What do the three stadiums have in common? A. They were built at the same time. B. They are all open on weekdays. C. They are the best stadiums in London. D. They were designed by the same architect. B “Mom, could you read to me?” My son, who was suffering from a virus, was lying on the floor of our living room, where he usually went when he was sick. Fourteen years old might seem old for being read to, but appearing grown-up wasn’t his priority at this point. He was looking for comfort, distraction and wanted to feel cared for. I’d actually kept reading to him through his childhood and called it quits when we got into the preteen authority fight. When I read to him, I chose books that I loved, often books that he wouldn’t have gotten through on his own. Saying that he didn’t like the fantasy stories I’d adored myself at his age, he expressed an interest in nonfiction. Therefore, I put my own past preferences aside and looked for true stories that would grab his attention, and that he could read on his own. His shifting adolescent interest meant that the book I’d ordered for him yesterday was sometimes dismissed when it arrived, but I just put it aside for later. Its time might come around again. Now, though, he was asking me again, and I was glad to do anything that might give him relief. The purpose was neither knowledge learning nor a display of authority. He was seeking rest for his unsettled mind and body, and by reading to him, I could see that it supported his healing, as surely as the hot lemon and ginger tea and getting plenty of sleep did. I am sure that reading to my son has enhanced his school learning — his teacher has been amazed by his writing abilities —but more importantly, it has helped to make our bond stronger, giving us something in common to enjoy together. When the arguments and disagreements erupt, we can always come back to this simple activity of reading and listening, a union of souls that leaves us both completely free. 24. What may the author do when her son asked her to read to him? A. She read to him. B. She ignored him. C. She told him to read by himself. D. She suggested they read together. 25. What is the author’s attitude towards her son’s changeable reading interest? A. Opposed. B. Worried. C. Unconcerned. D. Acceptable. 26. What does the author think is the most important benefit of reading to her son? A. Giving him comfort. B. Strengthening their ties. C. Helping him grow more rapidly. D. Promoting his school learning. 27. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage? A. The Importance of Bond B. The Benefits of Reading C. Reading and Bonding D. Caring for Your Sick Child C In the ever-evolving world of robotics, researchers are constantly seeking innovative ways to enhance the capabilities of these machines. One that has captured the attention of scientists is the potential of using legs instead of arms for certain tasks. Four-legged robots normally need an arm attached to their body to open doors or pick up objects, but this can add additional weight and make it harder for the robot to squeeze through narrow spaces. Philip Smith in Switzerland and his colleagues used a machine-learning model to teach a ready-made robotic dog to use one of its legs to perform tasks while standing still or moving with the other three legs. The robot dog can use a leg to open doors, press buttons and pick up backpacks while balancing on its other three legs. “We cannot do everything with the legs that we could do with an arm — right now, a hand is far more skillful. But the point is really to make this work for applications where we maybe have mass limits, or we don’t want to have that additional complexity, like for space exploration where every kilogram of such a robot counts,” says Smith. To train the robot dog, Smith and his team gave the machine-learning model the objective of finding a specific point in space with one of the robot’s legs. The model then worked out by itself how to control the remaining three legs and balance the robot while standing or walking. Smith and his team could then control the robot remotely to carry out movements like picking up a backpack and putting it in a box, or collecting rocks. While the robot can currently only do these tasks while operated by a person, Smith hopes that future improvements will allow the dog to autonomously handle objects with its leg. 28. What is a drawback of four-legged robots with arms? A. Difficulty in control. B. Lack of flexibility. C. Complexity in design. D. Absence of innovation. 29. Why does Smith mention “space exploration” in paragraph 3? A. To compare the robot dog with humans. B. To prove the complexity of the robot dog. C. To explain the limitation of the robot dog. D. To show the potential uses of the robot dog. 30. How was the robot dog trained? A. By balancing on its other three legs. B. By using a machine-learning model. C. By having an arm attached to its body. D. By exposing it to diverse environments. 31. What does Smith hope for the future of the robot dog? A. Its leg will be more skillful than its arms. B. It can be operated more easily by a person. C. It can handle objects with its leg on its own. D. It can carry out machine-learning autonomously. D In late summer, Death Valley National Park earns its name. The heat in this region of California and Nevada is unbearable. Despite the heat, there was a slow but steady drop of water into the collection bottle of Omar Yaghi’s device, a group of components resembling a telescope. By the end of the day, this system had collected only a few millilitres of water — barely enough for a refreshing sip. But these results, published in July, represent a landmark in the field of Atmospheric Water Harvesting (AWH). The key ingredient in this device — a water-absorbing chemical called MOF-303 — has the potential to deliver life-sustaining volumes of clean water to regions that currently struggle to access it. “The vision there is to have something like a village-scale device,” says Yaghi, a chemist at the University of California. “If you’ve got a tonne of MOF-303, you could deliver about 500 litres of water a day.” By current estimates, roughly two billion people lack access to clean drinking water. Desalinated seawater can meet some of this need, but the technology required remains costly and is limited to coastal regions. This accounts for the growing enthusiasm for alternative solutions that extract clean water from the air. “It is estimated that Earth’s atmosphere contains nearly 13,000 cubic kilometres of water — over six times the volume of the world’s rivers. We cannot exhaust it — it’s always refilled in the process of natural water cycle,” says Tian Li, a materials scientist at Purdue University. And although many of the most promising AWH technologies are still at the stage of lab demonstrations, the field is quickly developing towards real-world systems that produce plentiful amounts of water at low cost. 32. What can we learn about Omar Yaghi’s device from the text? A. It uses MOF-303 for water absorption. B. It requires substantial investment in use. C. It operates like a telescope for water collection. D. It collects enough water for a day’s use. 33. What does the underlined phrase “account for” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Confirm. B. Emphasize. C. Explain. D. Contradict. 34. Why are Tian Li’s words quoted in paragraph 4? A. To reveal the severeness of water shortage. B To arouse people’s awareness of water conservation. C. To prove the non-renewable nature of atmospheric water. D. To demonstrate a favorable condition for AWH technologies. 35. Where is the text most probably taken from? A. A travel guidebook. B. A science magazine. C A psychological novel. D. An introduction to a book. 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。 Maybe someone you’ve been friends with for years is kicking up some conflict. Or, a person you’ve really trusted seems a little disappointing. However, we need to give people space to change, grow and readjust their own thinking. Learning to get the “good” out of people usually works. ____36____ People unavoidably have some types of flaws (缺陷).

It doesn’t have to end.” Remember, too, that if someone hides important information or tells straight lies, this is not acceptable. ____39____ To handle the flaws, always focus on the strengths of people in your circle. One friend might be a great babysitter for your kids while another helps you find good vacation deals. While you don’t want to “use” anyone, you do want to count on him for your own needs. ____40____ We all need a variety of people. Besides, life is much more interesting if we have a little bit of drama going on. A. No one can function all by himself. B. Ending a relationship is seldom a good idea. C.

After a full day’s work at a flower shop, she had put in another six hours waiting tables before heading home. This was her typical weekends. Pushing the key into the lock, she quietly opened the door so as not to wake her younger siblings. She stepped into the front room, and froze. The house was a mess: plates of half-eaten food were scattered in front of the TV; clothes, shoes and exercise books were everyone. Amy’s eyes welled with tears. “This is just too much for me.” she thought. Terrible memories began to race through her mind. Two years before, her parents lost their lives in an accident, leaving Amy and her siblings for their grandma, Helen, who had spent half of her life in a wheelchair. The life burden fell on Amy’s shoulders, which was too much for a girl. Life moved on. One day, walking across the school grounds, Amy found a table littered with university brochures. She browsed through pictures of spacious campuses and happy peers, all of it looking unachievable for her, given the current situation and financial conditions. But her teacher gave her unexpected hope, saying“ You could attend university for free. It would take a scholarship, though, and for that you’d need much better grades.” During her final year of high school, Amy diligently attended classes, then went to work after school, returned to her grandmother’s house, cared for her sisters and brothers and went through homework till the early hours of the morning, struggling for her dream university. One afternoon, she walked home from school, holding a sheet of paper tightly. It was a letter from the University of California, informing her that she would be offered a scholarship and was admitted to the university. It was what she’d been longing for, a place where she could study to become someone special-a nurse, perhaps, or maybe even a lawyer. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式作答。 Yet the letter only made Amy struggle inside. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next afternoon, Amy spotted the wrinkled letter she threw into the dustbin on the table when arriving home. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 大庆市 2024届高三年级第三次教学质量检测 英语 2024.04 本试卷共10页，分选择题和非选择题，满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 注意事项： 1.答题前，考生先将自己的姓名、班级、考场号/座位号填写在答题卡上，认真核对条形码上的姓名、准考证号，并将条形码粘贴在答题卡的指定位置上。 2.选择题答案使用2B铅笔填涂，如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其它答案的标号；非选择题答案使用0.5毫米黑色中性（签字）笔或碳素笔书写，字体工整，笔迹清楚。 3.请按照题号在答题卡上各题的答题区域内作答，超出答题区域书写的答案无效。 4.保持卷面及答题卡清洁，不折叠，不破损，不准使用涂改液、修正带、刮纸刀。 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。每段对话仅读一遍。 例: How much is the shirt?

You’re not looking happy. What’s the matter? Have you been studying too much? W: Oh, hi. No, that’s not it. The problem is that I was planning to go home over the spring break, but my travel agent told me all the airlines are fully booked. M: Why not drive your car? W: It’s too long a trip to take by yourself, and gas is so expensive. M: Have you checked the ride board? Maybe you can get a rider to go with you. W: The ride board— what’s that? M: It’s a noticeboard that has a map of the United States on it. The map is divided into different districts, and each district has a different number. Say you want to go to New England — that would be box number one. There are boxes for each number. You can put a white card or a blue card in one of the boxes. W: What’s the difference between a blue card and a white one? M: Blue means you have a car and need riders to share the driving. White means that you’re looking for a ride. W: Sounds good. So where is the ride board? M: It’s on the second floor of the Student Union building, right by the cinema of the college. 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】 17. Who is the speaker? A. A host. B.

First of all, I just give you some basic information. All meals will be taken in the dining room. We do not require you to wash up after your meals, or clean the tables, but we would be grateful if you could return all dishes to the kitchen after you have finished eating. You have already got the program for the weekend. However, I’m afraid there is a little problem with tomorrow morning’s sailing as the instructor is not available on Saturday this week. I’m sorry about this, but those of you who wanted to try your hand at sailing are able to do so on Sunday morning instead. Now, tomorrow morning you could join the field walking group or the one doing horse riding. There is one other change, but I’m sure it is one that should please you all. Tomorrow evening, as you know, we have a special dinner for you followed by some Scottish country dancing. The music, however, is not going to be provided by a disco as advertised but by the well-known Scottish folk group called Mountain Men. We are sure you will all enjoy their music very much. I think that is all the business that I wanted to raise with you now.

Some stadiums have celebrated more success than others, but each ground has its own rich heritage and unique atmosphere. Craven Cottage, London Craven Cottage was designed by the Glaswegian architect Archibald Leitch, who built 20 major football stadiums in the UK, including Chelsea’s Stamford Bridge. The“cottage”itself, lying on one corner of the pitch (球场), was added by Leitch because he’d forgotten to have changing rooms in the original design. Capacity: 25,700. Tickets: Adult (18+) £19.99 Children under 18 £9.99 Family bonus: 2 adults+1 child £39.97 Visiting time: Mon-Sat, 8:30 — 20:30 Anfield, Liverpool Anfield saw the fulfillment of many dreams. Located in the solidly working-class area of north Liverpool, it’s another ground built by Archibald Leitch. It was torn down in 1994 with the coming of all-seated stadiums, but plans are now underway for a £260 m upgrade including a hotel and a “food hub”. Capacity: 45,500. Tickets: Adult (18+) £15.99 Children under 18£8.99 Visiting time: Mon-Fri, 9:00 — 20:00 Old Trafford, Manchester You’d be hard pushed to find any football fan who hasn’t heard of Old Trafford. The stadium, yet another ground designed by Leitch, has been Manchester United’s home since 1910. However, no games were played between 1941 and 1949. In 2008, to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Manchester United’s first European Cup win, a statue of George Best, Denis Law and Bobby Charlton was displayed. Capacity: 75,800. Tickets: Adult (18+) £16.99 Children under 18 £8.99 Visiting time: Tue-Sat, 9:00 — 21:00 21. How much will a couple with 3 children pay for entering Craven Cottage? A. £68.95. B. £58.95. C. £59.95. D. £60.95. 22. Which stadium was once destroyed according to the passage? A. Anfield. B. Craven Cottage. C. Stamford Bridge. D. Old Trafford. 23. What do the three stadiums have in common? A. They were built at the same time. B. They are all open on weekdays. C. They are the best stadiums in London. D. They were designed by the same architect. 【答案】21. C 22. A 23. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章介绍了英国三个著名的足球场：伦敦的Craven Cottage、利物浦的Anfield和曼彻斯特的老特拉福德球场。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据Craven Cottage, London部分的“Family bonus: 2 adults+1 child £39.97(家庭优惠：2 个成人+1 个孩子 £39.97)”可知，一对夫妇带着 3 个孩子去Craven Cottage的门票价格是： £39.97+ £9.99×2= £59.95。故选C。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据Anfield, Liverpool部分的“It was torn down in 1994 with the coming of all-seated stadiums, but plans are now underway for a £260 m upgrade including a hotel and a “food hub”.(随着全坐席体育场的出现，它在1994年被拆除，但目前正在进行一项£2.6亿英镑的升级计划，包括一家酒店和一个“食品中心”。)”可知，Anfield曾经被拆毁。故选A。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据Craven Cottage, London部分的“Craven Cottage was designed by the Glaswegian architect Archibald Leitch, who built 20 major football stadiums in the UK, including Chelsea’s Stamford Bridge. (Craven Cottage是由格拉斯哥建筑师阿奇博尔德·利奇设计的，他在英国建造了 20 个主要的足球场，包括切尔西的斯坦福桥。)”，Anfield, Liverpool部分的“Located in the solidly working-class area of north Liverpool, it’s another ground built by Archibald Leitch. (位于利物浦北部的工人阶级聚集区，这是阿奇博尔德·利奇建造的另一个场地。)”和Old Trafford, Manchester部分的“The stadium, yet another ground designed by Leitch, has been Manchester United’s home since 1910. (这座体育场，也是由利奇设计的，自1910年以来一直是曼联的主场。)”可知，这三个体育场的共同点是它们都是由同一个建筑师设计的。故选D。 B “Mom, could you read to me?” My son, who was suffering from a virus, was lying on the floor of our living room, where he usually went when he was sick. Fourteen years old might seem old for being read to, but appearing grown-up wasn’t his priority at this point. He was looking for comfort, distraction and wanted to feel cared for. I’d actually kept reading to him through his childhood and called it quits when we got into the preteen authority fight. When I read to him, I chose books that I loved, often books that he wouldn’t have gotten through on his own. Saying that he didn’t like the fantasy stories I’d adored myself at his age, he expressed an interest in nonfiction. Therefore, I put my own past preferences aside and looked for true stories that would grab his attention, and that he could read on his own. His shifting adolescent interest meant that the book I’d ordered for him yesterday was sometimes dismissed when it arrived, but I just put it aside for later. Its time might come around again. Now, though, he was asking me again, and I was glad to do anything that might give him relief. The purpose was neither knowledge learning nor a display of authority. He was seeking rest for his unsettled mind and body, and by reading to him, I could see that it supported his healing, as surely as the hot lemon and ginger tea and getting plenty of sleep did. I am sure that reading to my son has enhanced his school learning — his teacher has been amazed by his writing abilities —but more importantly, it has helped to make our bond stronger, giving us something in common to enjoy together. When the arguments and disagreements erupt, we can always come back to this simple activity of reading and listening, a union of souls that leaves us both completely free. 24. What may the author do when her son asked her to read to him? A. She read to him. B. She ignored him. C. She told him to read by himself. D. She suggested they read together. 25. What is the author’s attitude towards her son’s changeable reading interest? A. Opposed. B. Worried. C. Unconcerned. D. Acceptable. 26. What does the author think is the most important benefit of reading to her son? A. Giving him comfort. B. Strengthening their ties. C. Helping him grow more rapidly. D. Promoting his school learning. 27. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage? A. The Importance of Bond B. The Benefits of Reading C. Reading and Bonding D. Caring for Your Sick Child 【答案】24. A 25. D 26. B 27. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了作者在照顾生病的儿子时，通过阅读给他带来的安慰，以及阅读对他们母子关系的影响。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Now, though, he was asking me again, and I was glad to do anything that might give him relief.”（现在，他又向我提出这个请求，我很乐意做任何可能让他舒服的事情。）可推知，当儿子让她给他读书时，她会给他读书。故选A。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“His shifting adolescent interest meant that the book I’d ordered for him yesterday was sometimes dismissed when it arrived, but I just put it aside for later. Its time might come around again.”（他不断变化的青少年兴趣意味着我昨天为他订购的书有时会在到达时被他拒绝，但我只是把它放在一边，等待以后。它的时机可能会再次到来。）可推知，作者对儿子变化的阅读兴趣持接受态度。故选D。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“I am sure that reading to my son has enhanced his school learning — his teacher has been amazed by his writing abilities —but more importantly, it has helped to make our bond stronger, giving us something in common to enjoy together.”（我确信，给我儿子读书提高了他的学校学习——他的老师对他的写作能力感到惊讶——但更重要的是，它帮助我们的关系更加紧密，给我们提供了共同享受的东西。）可推知，作者认为给儿子读书最重要的好处是加强了他们的关系。故选B。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文内容，尤其是最后一段“I am sure that reading to my son has enhanced his school learning — his teacher has been amazed by his writing abilities —but more importantly, it has helped to make our bond stronger, giving us something in common to enjoy together. When the arguments and disagreements erupt, we can always come back to this simple activity of reading and listening, a union of souls that leaves us both completely free.”（我确信读书给儿子听提高了他在学校的学习能力——他的老师对他的写作能力感到惊讶——但更重要的是，读书让我们的关系更紧密，让我们有了共同的爱好。当争论和分歧爆发时，我们总是可以回到阅读和倾听这一简单的活动中，这是一种灵魂的结合，让我们两个都完全自由。）可以看出，文章主要讲述了作者通过阅读给生病的儿子带来的安慰，以及阅读对他们母子关系的影响，所以C选项“阅读和联系”最能概括文章的主题。故选C。 C In the ever-evolving world of robotics, researchers are constantly seeking innovative ways to enhance the capabilities of these machines. One that has captured the attention of scientists is the potential of using legs instead of arms for certain tasks. Four-legged robots normally need an arm attached to their body to open doors or pick up objects, but this can add additional weight and make it harder for the robot to squeeze through narrow spaces. Philip Smith in Switzerland and his colleagues used a machine-learning model to teach a ready-made robotic dog to use one of its legs to perform tasks while standing still or moving with the other three legs. The robot dog can use a leg to open doors, press buttons and pick up backpacks while balancing on its other three legs. “We cannot do everything with the legs that we could do with an arm — right now, a hand is far more skillful. But the point is really to make this work for applications where we maybe have mass limits, or we don’t want to have that additional complexity, like for space exploration where every kilogram of such a robot counts,” says Smith. To train the robot dog, Smith and his team gave the machine-learning model the objective of finding a specific point in space with one of the robot’s legs. The model then worked out by itself how to control the remaining three legs and balance the robot while standing or walking. Smith and his team could then control the robot remotely to carry out movements like picking up a backpack and putting it in a box, or collecting rocks. While the robot can currently only do these tasks while operated by a person, Smith hopes that future improvements will allow the dog to autonomously handle objects with its leg. 28. What is a drawback of four-legged robots with arms? A. Difficulty in control. B. Lack of flexibility. C. Complexity in design. D. Absence of innovation. 29. Why does Smith mention “space exploration” in paragraph 3? A. To compare the robot dog with humans. B. To prove the complexity of the robot dog. C. To explain the limitation of the robot dog. D. To show the potential uses of the robot dog. 30. How was the robot dog trained? A. By balancing on its other three legs. B. By using a machine-learning model. C. By having an arm attached to its body. D. By exposing it to diverse environments. 31. What does Smith hope for the future of the robot dog? A. Its leg will be more skillful than its arms. B. It can be operated more easily by a person. C. It can handle objects with its leg on its own. D. It can carry out machine-learning autonomously. 【答案】28. B 29. D 30. B 31. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道，主要讲述了瑞士的菲利普·史密斯和他的团队如何使用机器学习模型训练一只机器狗，使其能够用一只腿在站立或移动时执行任务，而不需要额外的手臂。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Four-legged robots normally need an arm attached to their body to open doors or pick up objects, but this can add additional weight and make it harder for the robot to squeeze through narrow spaces.”（四足机器人通常需要一个附在身上的手臂来开门或拾取物体，但这会增加额外的重量，使机器人在通过狭窄空间时更加困难。）可知，四足机器人带有手臂的缺点是缺乏灵活性。故选B。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“But the point is really to make this work for applications where we maybe have mass limits, or we don’t want to have that additional complexity, like for space exploration where every kilogram of such a robot counts,”（但关键是要让这项技术适用于我们可能有质量限制的应用，或者我们不想有额外的复杂性，比如太空探索，在太空探索中，每公斤这样的机器人都很重要，”Smith说。）及第二段“The robot dog can use a leg to open doors, press buttons and pick up backpacks while balancing on its other three legs.(这只机器狗可以用一条腿开门、按按钮、拿背包，同时用其他三条腿保持平衡。)”可知，史密斯提到“太空探索”是为了展示机器狗的潜在用途。故选D。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Philip Smith in Switzerland and his colleagues used a machine-learning model to teach a ready-made robotic dog to use one of its legs to perform tasks while standing still or moving with the other three legs.”（瑞士的菲利普·史密斯和他的同事们使用一种机器学习模型，教一只现成的机器狗在静止不动或用其他三条腿移动的情况下，用一条腿执行任务。）可知，机器狗是通过使用机器学习模型进行训练的。故选B。 【31题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“While the robot can currently only do these tasks while operated by a person, Smith hopes that future improvements will allow the dog to autonomously handle objects with its leg.”（虽然机器人目前只能在人的操作下完成这些任务，但史密斯希望未来的改进能让狗狗用腿自主地处理物体。）可知，史密斯对机器狗的未来的希望是它可以自己用腿处理物体。故选C。 D In late summer, Death Valley National Park earns its name. The heat in this region of California and Nevada is unbearable. Despite the heat, there was a slow but steady drop of water into the collection bottle of Omar Yaghi’s device, a group of components resembling a telescope. By the end of the day, this system had collected only a few millilitres of water — barely enough for a refreshing sip. But these results, published in July, represent a landmark in the field of Atmospheric Water Harvesting (AWH). The key ingredient in this device — a water-absorbing chemical called MOF-303 — has the potential to deliver life-sustaining volumes of clean water to regions that currently struggle to access it. “The vision there is to have something like a village-scale device,” says Yaghi, a chemist at the University of California. “If you’ve got a tonne of MOF-303, you could deliver about 500 litres of water a day.” By current estimates, roughly two billion people lack access to clean drinking water. Desalinated seawater can meet some of this need, but the technology required remains costly and is limited to coastal regions. This accounts for the growing enthusiasm for alternative solutions that extract clean water from the air. “It is estimated that Earth’s atmosphere contains nearly 13,000 cubic kilometres of water — over six times the volume of the world’s rivers. We cannot exhaust it — it’s always refilled in the process of natural water cycle,” says Tian Li, a materials scientist at Purdue University. And although many of the most promising AWH technologies are still at the stage of lab demonstrations, the field is quickly developing towards real-world systems that produce plentiful amounts of water at low cost. 32. What can we learn about Omar Yaghi’s device from the text? A. It uses MOF-303 for water absorption. B. It requires substantial investment in use. C. It operates like a telescope for water collection. D. It collects enough water for a day’s use. 33. What does the underlined phrase “account for” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Confirm. B. Emphasize. C. Explain. D. Contradict. 34. Why are Tian Li’s words quoted in paragraph 4? A. To reveal the severeness of water shortage. B. To arouse people’s awareness of water conservation. C. To prove the non-renewable nature of atmospheric water. D. To demonstrate a favorable condition for AWH technologies. 35. Where is the text most probably taken from? A. A travel guidebook. B. A science magazine. C. A psychological novel. D. An introduction to a book. 【答案】32. A 33. C 34. D 35. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。介绍了一种新型的大气水收集设备，并详细描述了该设备的工作原理和潜在应用。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Despite the heat, there was a slow but steady drop of water into the collection bottle of Omar Yaghi’s device, a group of components resembling a telescope.(尽管天气炎热，奥马尔·亚吉(Omar Yaghi)装置的收集瓶里还是有缓慢而稳定的滴水，这个装置由一组类似望远镜的部件组成)”以及第二段“The key ingredient in this device —a water-absorbing chemical called MOF-303—has the potential to deliver life-sustaining volumes of clean water to regions that currently struggle to access it.(该装置的关键成分是一种被称为MOF-303的吸水化学物质，它有可能为目前难以获得水的地区提供维持生命的大量清洁水)”可知，奥马尔·亚吉的设备使用MOF-303吸水。故选A项。 【33题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线单词前文“By current estimates, roughly two billion people lack access to clean drinking water. Desalinated seawater can meet some of this need, but the technology required remains costly and is limited to coastal regions.(根据目前的估计，大约有20亿人无法获得清洁的饮用水。海水淡化可以满足部分需求，但所需的技术仍然昂贵，而且仅限于沿海地区)”可知，目前缺水的人很多，但是海水淡化技术不足以满足需求，根据后文“growing enthusiasm for alternative solutions that extract clean water from the air”应是表达“这就是为什么人们越来越热衷于从空气中提取清洁水的替代解决方案”之意，推知accounts for意为“解释”之意，和C项意思相近。故选C项。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段““It is estimated that Earth’s atmosphere contains nearly 13,000 cubic kilometres of water— over six times the volume of the world’s rivers. We cannot exhaust it —it’s always refilled in the process of natural water cycle,” says Tian Li, a materials scientist at Purdue University.(“据估计，地球大气层中含有近 13,000 立方千米的水，这一体积是世界河流总量的 6 倍多。我们无法将其耗尽，因为它总会在自然水循环过程中得到补充，”普渡大学的材料科学家Tian Li说)”可知，本段应用Tian Li的话，是为了证明空气取水技术的有利条件。故选D项。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“In late summer, Death Valley National Park earns its name. The heat in this region of California and Nevada is unbearable. Despite the heat, there was a slow but steady drop of water into the collection bottle of Omar Yaghi’s device, a group of components resembling a telescope. By the end of the day, this system had collected only a few millilitres of water —barely enough for a refreshing sip. But these results, published in July, represent a landmark in the field of Atmospheric Water Harvesting (AWH).(夏末，死亡谷国家公园因此得名。加州和内华达州这一地区的高温令人难以忍受。尽管天气炎热，奥马尔·亚吉(Omar Yaghi)装置的收集瓶里还是有缓慢而稳定的滴水，这个装置由一组类似望远镜的部件组成。在一天结束的时候，这个系统只收集了几毫升的水——仅仅够喝一口清爽的水。但是，7月份发表的这些研究结果代表了大气水收集(AWH)领域的一个里程碑)”以及纵观全文可知，本文主要介绍了一种新型的大气水收集设备，所以最有可能来自一本科学杂志。故选B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。 Maybe someone you’ve been friends with for years is kicking up some conflict.

After a full day’s work at a flower shop, she had put in another six hours waiting tables before heading home. This was her typical weekends. Pushing the key into the lock, she quietly opened the door so as not to wake her younger siblings. She stepped into the front room, and froze. The house was a mess: plates of half-eaten food were scattered in front of the TV; clothes, shoes and exercise books were everyone. Amy’s eyes welled with tears. “This is just too much for me.” she thought. Terrible memories began to race through her mind. Two years before, her parents lost their lives in an accident, leaving Amy and her siblings for their grandma, Helen, who had spent half of her life in a wheelchair. The life burden fell on Amy’s shoulders, which was too much for a girl. Life moved on. One day, walking across the school grounds, Amy found a table littered with university brochures. She browsed through pictures of spacious campuses and happy peers, all of it looking unachievable for her, given the current situation and financial conditions. But her teacher gave her unexpected hope, saying“ You could attend university for free. It would take a scholarship, though, and for that you’d need much better grades.” During her final year of high school, Amy diligently attended classes, then went to work after school, returned to her grandmother’s house, cared for her sisters and brothers and went through homework till the early hours of the morning, struggling for her dream university. One afternoon, she walked home from school, holding a sheet of paper tightly. It was a letter from the University of California, informing her that she would be offered a scholarship and was admitted to the university. It was what she’d been longing for, a place where she could study to become someone special-a nurse, perhaps, or maybe even a lawyer. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式作答。 Yet the letter only made Amy struggle inside. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next afternoon, Amy spotted the wrinkled letter she threw into the dustbin on the table when arriving home. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 Yet the letter only made Amy struggle inside. She knew that attending university was her dream, but the reality of it was much more daunting. The letter promised a scholarship, but the cost of living and books and other expenses still loomed large. Amy knew that even with the scholarship, she would still need to work to support herself and her siblings. She felt the weight of responsibility on her shoulders. How could she leave her siblings behind, especially her grandmother Helen, who needed constant care? Amy’s heart was torn between her dreams and her responsibilities. She sat on her bed, holding the letter tightly, tears streaming down her face. She didn’t know what to do. The next afternoon, Amy spotted the wrinkled letter she threw into the dustbin on the table when arriving home. She couldn’t believe she had done that. She had worked so hard for this opportunity, and now she was considering giving it up. Amy sat down and slowly unfolded the letter, reading it again. She knew that this was a once-in-a-lifetime chance, and she didn’t want to let it slip away. She had to find a way to balance her responsibilities and her dreams. Amy made a decision. She would go to university, but she would find a way to work remotely or part-time so she could support her family. She would also find people to help care for her grandmother. Amy knew it would be challenging, but she was ready to face it. She had the strength and determination to make her dreams a reality. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了18岁的艾米·沃尔德鲁普父母在一次事故中丧生了，把艾米和她的兄弟姐妹留给了在轮椅上度过了半生的奶奶海伦。生活的重担落在了艾米的肩上，这对一个女孩来说太沉重了。艾米渴望去上大学，但是担心家里无法维系生计。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“然而，这封信只是让艾米内心挣扎”可知，第一段可描写艾米内心的挣扎以及迷茫。 ②由第二段首句内容“第二天下午，艾米发现了那封皱巴巴的信，她回家时把它扔进了桌子上的垃圾箱”可知，第二段可描写艾米思考解决办法以及决心实现梦想。 2.续写线索：内心挣扎——担忧家人——摇摆不定——思考办法——决心实现梦想 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①养活自己：support oneself/feed oneself ②实现：make sth. a reality /make sth. come true ③照顾：care for/attend 情绪类 ①令人气馁：daunting/discouraging ②准备好：ready/prepared 【点睛】[高分句型1] She knew that attending university was her dream, but the reality of it was much more daunting.(运用了that引导宾语从句) [高分句型2] How could she leave her siblings behind, especially her grandmother Helen, who needed constant care?
