B Despite extreme cold, cruel ice and being brushed off as mad, Slovenian Davo Kamicar became the first person to ski non-stop down Mount Everest. After a dramatic fall over almost sheer cliffs of snow, stones and ice, 38-yeur-old Kamicar returned to his base camp after five hours of skiing. “I feel only absolute happiness and absolute tiredness,” he said. Due to the severe weather conditions, Kamicar flung himself back down the mountain as soon as he reached the top rather thin have a rest as planned. At one point, he had to speed over stretches of ice that collapsed and broke underneath him and could have sent him falling into the deep crevasses (裂缝) that dot the mountain. The descent (下落) had been widely regarded as extremely dangerous. The Darwin Awards website, known for documenting foolhardy deaths, urged people to log on to their website and “keep your eyes peeled for a live Darwin Award”. However, the only body to make the news was the corpse (尸体) of an unknown mountaineer which Kamicar zipped past as he descended, one of an estimated 120 corpses, thought to litter the slopes. “This mountain is always full of surprises. Seeing a dead man out there was still a shocking experience,” he said. Thanks to strategically placed cameras on the mountain and one attached, to his safety helmet, hundreds of thousands of people witnessed the process online, which was one of the record highs ever of more than 650,000 hits: The website was once jammed as people tried to access the site. A previous failed attempt had already cost Kamicar two fingers when he got frostbite as a fierce storm hit the peak, Coming from a skiing family and had his first Himalayan skiing expedition in 1989, he has been ever since tireless in raising funds and sponsorship for more expeditions, with Everest as the permanent goal. 4.

Peaceful and lonely. D. Slow and heartbreaking. 6. What was the most dangerous during Kamicar’s descent? A. His heavy falling off a sheer cliff. B. The sudden appearance of other climbers. C. The unexpected collapse of an icy hillside. D. The sight of 120 corpses littering the slopes. 7. Which of the following may be the best title for the passage? A. Darwin Award for Survivors B. Body of Mountaineer Found on Everest C. Mad Man Skis down Everest D. Extreme Sports Hero Slides to a Record C I am asked repeatedly why anyone would want to keep an “ugly” building or a building that is dirty and clearly in need of work. I guess you could say we preservationists (文物保护者) look at buildings through a different angle — an angle that can see the swan in the ugly duck, the story in the simple lines, and the book behind the cover. The Queen Emma Building is remembered by many as one of the ugliest buildings in town. Yet the angle from which a preservationist views the building is that it is uniquely constructed with an artistical sun shield to block the sunlight, a decorative wall designers used concrete bricks to form. Unfortunately, it was removed in 2011, making the building one of many contemporary buildings in town. Other times, when a beautiful site is replaced by a “horrible” building, people hate it and can’t get over their anger, even when that “horrible” building becomes an important part of our story. This is particularly true in San Francisco with many Victorian buildings, which are many preservationists’ favorite. Yes, it was a tragedy that many Victorian buildings. got torn down several decades ago, but those losses also tell another important story. It tells the story of the 1950s and 1960s when there was hope for a more equal society with inexpensive housing for the working class. Should that history be wiped from our memories? Preservation is not just about keeping pretty, well-kept buildings, but about holding on to parts of our history — not just the history of huge events, but the story of how everyone used to go to a certain corner market. Our history cannot be told only in buildings that meet someone’s criteria of beauty; sometimes our history is painful, but no less important. 8. Which section might the passage come from? A. Opinion and Views. B. Health and Well-being. C. Space and Exploration. D. Business and Finance. 9. How does the author feel about removing the sun shield of the Queen Emma Building? A. It’s incredible. B. It’s regrettable. C. It’s inspiring. D. It’s entertaining. 10. Why were many Victorian buildings in San Francisco tom down? A. To wipe the history of the Victorian era. B. To make land available for cheap housing. C. To ease the deep anger of the working class. D. To revive the architecture of the Victorian era 11. What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage? A. To analyze the role of preservationists. B. To introduce buildings with historical value. C. To explain why architects make ugly buildings. D. To stress the significance of preserving “ugly” buildings. D Deep below the ground, radioactive elements break up water molecules (分子), producing substances that can fuel subsurface life. This process, known as radiolysis (辐射分解), has supported bacteria in tiny cracks filled with water on Earth for millions to billions of years. Now a study published in Astrobiology shows that radiolysis may have supported life in the Martian subsurface. Dust storms, rays in the universe and solar winds ruin the Red Planet’s surface. But below, some life might find shelter. “The best survival habitat on Mars is the subsurface,” said Jesse Tarnas, a planetary scientist at NASA. Examining the Martian underground could help scientists learn whether life existed there. And the best subsurface samples available today are Martian meteorites (陨石) that have crash-landed on Earth. Tarnas and his colleague looked at the minerals on the Martian surface and how many radioactive elements there were, using satellite and rover data. They used computers to simulate (模拟) radiolysis to see how efficiently the process would have generated life-supporting hydrogen gas and other chemical substances. They reported that if water was present, radiolysis could have supported life for billions of years and perhaps still could today. Scientists had previously studied Mars radiolysis, but this marked the first estimate using Martian rocks to see how habitable Mars underground might be. Tarnas and his colleagues also evaluated the potential richness of life in Martian underground. They found that up to a million bacteria could exist. in just one kilogram of rock. The most habitable seemed to be the southern highlands of Mars, which is the most ancient area on Mars, according to Tarnas. “Underground life would require water and it remains unknown if groundwater exists on the planet,” says Lujendra Ojha, a planetary scientist at Rutgers University. Determining whether the Martian’ subsurface contains water will be an important next step, but this investigation helps to motivate that search. Ojha says, “Where there is groundwater, there could be life.” 12. What does radiolysis refer to according to the passage? A. The formation of water deep underground. B. The breakdown of rocks in the Earth’s core. C. The production of energy from radioactive elements. D. The process of radioactive elements splitting water molecule. 13. How did Tarnas and his colleague carry out their research? A. By simulating with collected data. B. By comparing original data. C. By engaging in a Martian field research. D. By conducting a survey. 14. Which can be inferred from the last 2 paragraphs? A. Tarnas is the first to study Mars radiolysis. B. The presence of groundwater is key to the findings. C. Ojha questions that underground life exists on Mars. D. The southern highlands of Mars was home to millions of bacteria. 15. What is the research mainly about? A. The reason for no life on the Martian surface. B. The data source for the study of Martian habitability. C. The possibility of Mars sustaining life through radiolysis. D. The richness of radioactive elements below the Martian surface. 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 Have a Better Conversation on Social Media You’re not alone if you find social media to be both a space for staying informed and a space full of hate and disagreement.

It was PURPLE, the glow-in-the-dark purple! Even crayon purple couldn’t compete. Dad loved it, claiming it was his favorite sweater. But I found it embarrassing as he wore it all the time: walking the dog; shopping for groceries and — worst of all — coming to my school events. During a visit to our local farm, Dad tore his sleeve on a fence. When I pointed out that it was ripped, he said he would just wear it around the house. The hole got bigger and one night, at dinner, the thread became a table guest. Dad forked it up with spaghetti (通心粉) and lifted it to his mouth. “Look out, Dad!” I shouted. “You’re about to take a bite of your sweater.” Dad laughed, put his fork down and sighed, “The sweater might be beyond saving now.” The next day, Mom and I repurposed the sweater on a Halloween scarecrow and put it in our front yard. When our neighbor dropped by to give us some used tennis balls for our cat, she gave her thumbs-up at our idea. But the sweater got rained on, and leaves stuck to it. Birds pulled the yarn (毛线). Dad finally removed it and was about to throw it away. He stood there long, looking sad. It made me sad too. I thought about the day he got it, the day he tore it, and ail those days he wore it. Then I thought of the day he almost ate it. 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。 Paragraph 1: And that gave me an idea for the school year’s art show _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: My Spaghetti and Meatballs, Outer-Space Style stood out in the art show. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 辽宁省部分重点中学协作体2024年高考模拟考试 英语 第一部分: 听力 (共两节, 满分30分) 第一节 (共5 小题; 每小题1.5 分, 满分7.5 分) 例: How much is the shirt?

After a dramatic fall over almost sheer cliffs of snow, stones and ice, 38-yeur-old Kamicar returned to his base camp after five hours of skiing. “I feel only absolute happiness and absolute tiredness,” he said. Due to the severe weather conditions, Kamicar flung himself back down the mountain as soon as he reached the top rather thin have a rest as planned. At one point, he had to speed over stretches of ice that collapsed and broke underneath him and could have sent him falling into the deep crevasses (裂缝) that dot the mountain. The descent (下落) had been widely regarded as extremely dangerous. The Darwin Awards website, known for documenting foolhardy deaths, urged people to log on to their website and “keep your eyes peeled for a live Darwin Award”. However, the only body to make the news was the corpse (尸体) of an unknown mountaineer which Kamicar zipped past as he descended, one of an estimated 120 corpses, thought to litter the slopes. “This mountain is always full of surprises. Seeing a dead man out there was still a shocking experience,” he said. Thanks to strategically placed cameras on the mountain and one attached, to his safety helmet, hundreds of thousands of people witnessed the process online, which was one of the record highs ever of more than 650,000 hits: The website was once jammed as people tried to access the site. A previous failed attempt had already cost Kamicar two fingers when he got frostbite as a fierce storm hit the peak, Coming from a skiing family and had his first Himalayan skiing expedition in 1989, he has been ever since tireless in raising funds and sponsorship for more expeditions, with Everest as the permanent goal. 4.

I guess you could say we preservationists (文物保护者) look at buildings through a different angle — an angle that can see the swan in the ugly duck, the story in the simple lines, and the book behind the cover. The Queen Emma Building is remembered by many as one of the ugliest buildings in town. Yet the angle from which a preservationist views the building is that it is uniquely constructed with an artistical sun shield to block the sunlight, a decorative wall designers used concrete bricks to form. Unfortunately, it was removed in 2011, making the building one of many contemporary buildings in town. Other times, when a beautiful site is replaced by a “horrible” building, people hate it and can’t get over their anger, even when that “horrible” building becomes an important part of our story. This is particularly true in San Francisco with many Victorian buildings, which are many preservationists’ favorite. Yes, it was a tragedy that many Victorian buildings. got torn down several decades ago, but those losses also tell another important story. It tells the story of the 1950s and 1960s when there was hope for a more equal society with inexpensive housing for the working class. Should that history be wiped from our memories? Preservation is not just about keeping pretty, well-kept buildings, but about holding on to parts of our history — not just the history of huge events, but the story of how everyone used to go to a certain corner market. Our history cannot be told only in buildings that meet someone’s criteria of beauty; sometimes our history is painful, but no less important. 8. Which section might the passage come from? A. Opinion and Views. B. Health and Well-being. C. Space and Exploration. D. Business and Finance. 9. How does the author feel about removing the sun shield of the Queen Emma Building? A. It’s incredible. B. It’s regrettable. C. It’s inspiring. D. It’s entertaining. 10. Why were many Victorian buildings in San Francisco tom down? A. To wipe the history of the Victorian era. B. To make land available for cheap housing. C. To ease the deep anger of the working class. D. To revive the architecture of the Victorian era 11. What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage? A. To analyze the role of preservationists. B. To introduce buildings with historical value. C. To explain why architects make ugly buildings. D. To stress the significance of preserving “ugly” buildings. 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. B 11.

This process, known as radiolysis (辐射分解), has supported bacteria in tiny cracks filled with water on Earth for millions to billions of years. Now a study published in Astrobiology shows that radiolysis may have supported life in the Martian subsurface. Dust storms, rays in the universe and solar winds ruin the Red Planet’s surface. But below, some life might find shelter. “The best survival habitat on Mars is the subsurface,” said Jesse Tarnas, a planetary scientist at NASA. Examining the Martian underground could help scientists learn whether life existed there. And the best subsurface samples available today are Martian meteorites (陨石) that have crash-landed on Earth. Tarnas and his colleague looked at the minerals on the Martian surface and how many radioactive elements there were, using satellite and rover data. They used computers to simulate (模拟) radiolysis to see how efficiently the process would have generated life-supporting hydrogen gas and other chemical substances. They reported that if water was present, radiolysis could have supported life for billions of years and perhaps still could today. Scientists had previously studied Mars radiolysis, but this marked the first estimate using Martian rocks to see how habitable Mars underground might be. Tarnas and his colleagues also evaluated the potential richness of life in Martian underground. They found that up to a million bacteria could exist. in just one kilogram of rock. The most habitable seemed to be the southern highlands of Mars, which is the most ancient area on Mars, according to Tarnas. “Underground life would require water and it remains unknown if groundwater exists on the planet,” says Lujendra Ojha, a planetary scientist at Rutgers University. Determining whether the Martian’ subsurface contains water will be an important next step, but this investigation helps to motivate that search. Ojha says, “Where there is groundwater, there could be life.” 12. What does radiolysis refer to according to the passage? A. The formation of water deep underground. B. The breakdown of rocks in the Earth’s core. C. The production of energy from radioactive elements. D. The process of radioactive elements splitting water molecule. 13. How did Tarnas and his colleague carry out their research? A. By simulating with collected data. B. By comparing original data. C. By engaging in a Martian field research. D. By conducting a survey. 14. Which can be inferred from the last 2 paragraphs? A. Tarnas is the first to study Mars radiolysis. B. The presence of groundwater is key to the findings. C. Ojha questions that underground life exists on Mars. D. The southern highlands of Mars was home to millions of bacteria. 15. What is the research mainly about? A. The reason for no life on the Martian surface. B. The data source for the study of Martian habitability. C. The possibility of Mars sustaining life through radiolysis. D. The richness of radioactive elements below the Martian surface. 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. B 15.

It was PURPLE, the glow-in-the-dark purple! Even crayon purple couldn’t compete. Dad loved it, claiming it was his favorite sweater. But I found it embarrassing as he wore it all the time: walking the dog; shopping for groceries and — worst of all — coming to my school events. During a visit to our local farm, Dad tore his sleeve on a fence. When I pointed out that it was ripped, he said he would just wear it around the house. The hole got bigger and one night, at dinner, the thread became a table guest. Dad forked it up with spaghetti (通心粉) and lifted it to his mouth. “Look out, Dad!” I shouted. “You’re about to take a bite of your sweater.” Dad laughed, put his fork down and sighed, “The sweater might be beyond saving now.” The next day, Mom and I repurposed the sweater on a Halloween scarecrow and put it in our front yard. When our neighbor dropped by to give us some used tennis balls for our cat, she gave her thumbs-up at our idea. But the sweater got rained on, and leaves stuck to it. Birds pulled the yarn (毛线). Dad finally removed it and was about to throw it away. He stood there long, looking sad. It made me sad too. I thought about the day he got it, the day he tore it, and ail those days he wore it. Then I thought of the day he almost ate it. 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。 Paragraph 1: And that gave me an idea for the school year’s art show. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: My Spaghetti and Meatballs, Outer-Space Style stood out in the art show. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 And that gave me an idea for the school year’s art show. I begged Dad for his beloved sweater. Although he was surprised, he still agreed. Immediately I jumped into action. After carefully washing, drying, and unwinding it into a big pile of curly purple yarn, I glued a bunch of it onto a giant hard paper plate, together with some old neon - green tennis balls from my neighbour. To achieve a better effect, I even shaped a fork out of foil, and put it on the plate as well. With everything ready, I looked at my creation and couldn’t contain my thrill and eagerness — “what would Dad say at the sight of this?” Finally, the day of the art show arrived.  My Spaghetti and Meatballs, Outer-Space Style stood out in the art show. Many people gathered around the booth, and laughed as they figured out what it was. People’s attention quickly drew Mom and Dad over. Just as they were surprised to see what I had made, the principal announced the winner for this year — “Spaghetti and meatball”! Among the cheers, Dad marveled at my creativity and added with delight, “This’s the perfect ending for my sweater”. We took many pictures that day and in the pictures, everyone smiled a hearty smile. My artwork was still on the table in Dad’s office and Grandma had promised to knit him a new sweater — this time, a glow-in-the-dark green one. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者的奶奶给作者的爸爸织了一件紫色毛衣，作者的爸爸非常喜欢，干什么都穿着它，而作者不喜欢这件毛衣的颜色，在参观当地的农场时，毛衣袖子被扯破了，作者爸爸仍然在家穿着它，但是有一天吃晚饭时丝线伸向了爸爸那盘面条，他把面条和线转到叉子上，毛衣彻底不能穿了，只能扔掉，但是爸爸很伤心，这也让作者伤心。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“这让我想到了本学年的艺术展。”可知，第一段可描写作者怎么将这件毛衣做成艺术品来参加艺术展。 ②由第二段首句内容“我的《太空意大利面和肉丸》在艺术展览中脱颖而出。”可知，第二段可描写作者的作品获奖了，以及爸爸知道毛衣做成的艺术品获奖后的反应。 2. 续写线索：把毛衣变成线——在盘子上粘网球——所有东西放托盘上——获一等奖——爸爸的反应——奶奶答应给爸爸织一件新毛衣。 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①吸引：draw/attract ②宣布：announce/declare ③答应：promise/commit to 情绪类 ①惊讶：be surprised/be shocked ②高兴：delight/pleasure 【点睛】[高分句型1]Although he was surprised, he still agreed.(运用了although引导的让步状语从句) [高分句型2]Many people gathered around the booth, and laughed as they figured out what it was.(运用了as引导的时间状语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
