But don’t worry! We can help! Here are some gift ideas to suit all pockets. Air purifier Do you have a loved one who suffers from allergies (过敏) or other skin diseases? Why not gift him or her an air cleaner? Research has shown that air purifiers can help reduce allergy reactions, remove asthma (哮喘) causes such as dust by improving air quality in your home. Look for purifiers with more than one filter and, especially, a high efficiency air filter. Electric toothbrush One review of 56 studies has found that a powered toothbrush resulted in a 21 per cent reduction of plaque and an 11 per cent reduction in gingivitis (牙龈炎) after three months, compared with a manual toothbrush. It’s also a fun way for children to look after their dental hygiene. Dark chocolate Nothing screams a gift quite like chocolate. Good news is that dark chocolate is associated with several health benefits. Small amounts of this sweet treat may lower the risk of heart disease, improve brain function and give your immune system a boost, potentially reducing infection. Your time Quality time spent with your nearest and dearest is completely free, but is the most precious gift you could give them. If you’ve been too preoccupied of late, determine to put aside more hours to do fun things together, or if you have time to devote to others outside your immediate circle, consider volunteering with Age UK as a friend to an elderly person. 1. Which of the following is suitable for someone with a dental problem? A. Air purifier. B. Electric toothbrush. C. Dark chocolate. D. Your time. 2. What do the first three presents have in common? A. They belong to tech presents. B. They are non-physical objects. C. They are intended for the elderly. D. They help promote healthy living. 3. What is special about the last present? A. It is priceless. B. It is worthless. C. It is physical. D. It is rare. B Last summer at a bookstore, my son Henry was fascinated by the cover of the first novel from Peter Brown’s middle-grade trilogy (三部曲). He then finished it in just two days. “Dad, why did The Wild Robot have to be so sad?” He tearfully asked me. The story is set on a remote island, where a robot named Roz learns to survive and communicate with the island’s creatures, and becomes part of the community. For my son, it was the first book he discovered on his own; the first to impact him with the mix of tragedy (悲剧) and joy. When I finished the book, I knew why Henry loved it. In our book club discussion, he described how Brown’s pictures and words had made the story feel real. When talking about its final scenes, where Roz leaves to find repairs for her injured body, Henry cried again. His previous reading experiences had cheerful, “happily-ever-after” endings, but this book introduced him to the beauty of complex emotions. I tried to explain how sadness can enhance the meaning of happy moments, but failed to fully convince him. Once our discussion ended, Henry requested to buy The Wild Robot Escapes and instantly fell in love with it. He read the first two books repeatedly, so you can imagine his excitement when we finally got a copy of The Wild Robot Protects. We both agree it is worth the wait. Roz leaves the island again to stop an underwater threat: “the poison tide.” Brown expertly balances between breathtaking adventure and unsettling ideas- not just happiness and sadness, but also, given the climate-change undercurrents, hope and despair. And, here’s something special about Roz: her physical clumsiness and confusion about life, conveyed through her expressive eyes and downturned mouth. Her story reflects the challenges of surviving in a strange place, much like a child’s journey. Readers love Roz. They learn from her. Even better, they learn alongside her. Roz gave Henry the power to push through the first book’s sad parts, getting him ready to appreciate that, sometimes, sadness isn’t a bad thing to feel. 4. What drove the author to read The Wild Robot? A. Its tragic ending. B. Henry’s tearful recommendation. C. Its attractive cover. D. Henry’s emotional response to it. 5. What is one theme of The Wild Robol Protects? A. Family and community. B. Concerns of global issues. C. Exploration of the ocean. D. Man-robot relationship. 6. What makes Roz in the trilogy special? A. Her childlike expressions. B. Her robotic power. C Her struggling experiences. D. Her adventurous spirit. 7. Which message does this text seem to communicate? A. Misfortune inspires great literary works. B. Robot stories work like magic on children. C. Book discussions help kids survive tragedies. D. Reading literature facilitates personal growth. C A new study on 26 chimpanzees (黑猩猩) from zoos around the world found that chimpanzees can recognise family members and long lost friends even after decades of separation. The participating chimpanzees were given juice while staring at a screen flashing side by side photos of other chimps. One animal from each pair of photos had lived with the group for at least a year, while the other was a stranger. An eye-tracking camera recorded where the participants were looking and for how long. Data showed their eyes rested longer on familiar groupmates, suggesting “rich recognition of each other.” There is also evidence that they became more intent when shown a picture of a chimpanzee with whom they’d had more positive interactions, compared with conflicting relationships. In the most impressive case, a 46-year-old chimpanzee named Louise repeatedly demonstrated “intense” attention upon seeing photographs of her sister Loretta and nephew Erin, whom she hadn’t seen in more than 26 years. The team said Louise’s results represent the longest-lasting social memory documented in any non-human animal to date. “We tend to see ourselves as unique special creatures with incredible intellectual (智力的) capacities that are very different from other animals on earth,” said Laura Simone Lewis, a postdoctoral fellow in Berkeley’s psychology department and lead author of the study. “This study is showing us how similar we are to chimpanzees.” She noted that the findings support the theory that long-term social memory in humans and modern day chimps has come from “our last common ancestor that lived somewhere between 5 to 7 million years ago” who also likely had long-term social memory. Now that they have definitive evidence that these endangered species possess long-term social memories, researchers have more questions, including whether chimpanzees miss the individuals they’re no longer with, especially their friends and family. “Our study doesn’t determine they are doing this, but it raises questions about the possibility that they may have the ability to do so,” Lewis said. 8. What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A. The nature of chimps. B. The method of the study. C. The analysis of the recorded data. D. The layout of experimental equipment. 9. What does the underlined word “intent” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Attentive. B. Doubtful. C. Hesitant. D. Emotional. 10. Why is the example of Louise in paragraph 4 mentioned? A. To stress chimps are as intelligent as human beings. B. To explain where chimps’ social memory comes from. C. To better demonstrate the chimps’ memory length. D. To further prove the existence of chimps’ social memory. 11. What will the research team most probably continue to explore? A. Whether chimps feel strong emotions to their long lost friends. B. How to strengthen chimps’ long-term social memories. C. How chimps recognised their close contacts after long separation. D. Why chimps possess the amazing social memories. D US forests could become a “substantial carbon source” by 2070, suggesting that forests could worsen global warming instead of easing it, a new Agriculture Department report says. US forests currently absorb 11 percent of US carbon emissions (释放), equal to the combined emissions from 40 coal power plants. The report predicts that the ability of forests to absorb carbon will start declining after 2025 and that forests could emit up to 100 million metric tons of carbon a year as their emissions from decaying (腐烂) trees go beyond their carbon absorption. The prediction suggests that this will require the US to cut emissions more rapidly to reach net zero, according to Lynn Riley, a senior manager of climate science. “Eleven percent of our domestic emissions. That is a really significant portion,” Riley said. “As we work to decarbonize... forests are one of the greatest tools available. If we were to lose that, it means the US will contribute that much more” in emissions. The report also assesses and predicts the extent of renewable resources provided by the nation’s forests and undeveloped landscapes, including farmlands, wetlands and grasslands. According to the report, the loss of carbon absorption is driven in part by natural disasters which are increasing in frequency and strength as global temperatures rise. Development in forested areas, which the report predicts will continue to increase, is having the same effect as people increasingly move to the so-called wildland urban areas. Aging forests also contribute as older, mature trees absorb less carbon than younger trees of the same species, and the US forests are rapidly aging. More aggressive forest management can help by cutting down a small portion of aging forests to make ways for younger trees that absorb more carbon. A thorough study of each forest should be done before removing older trees, Riley said. 12. Why could US forests become a “substantial carbon source”? A. They fail to absorb enough carbon. B. They begin to emit carbon increasingly. C. They may emit more carbon than absorb. D. Mature trees outnumber young trees. 13. Which of the following may Lynn Riley agree with? A. US forests have lost their role in carbon absorption. B. It is urgent for the US to reduce carbon emissions. C The US has contributed to 11% carbon emissions. D. The loss of forests contributes to less carbon emissions. 14. What leads to the loss of carbon absorption? A. Improper tree species. B. Removal of aging trees. C. Decreasing urban development. D. Frequent severe natural disasters. 15. Which could be a suitable title for the text? A. Aging Forests —a Major Emitter of Carbon. B. Growing Forests —a Solution to Carbon Emissions. C. Reducing Forests —a Threat to Global Warming. D Decaying Forests —a Consequence of Global Warming. 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。 We’ve all been there—you’ve sent a message and it’s marked “read”, but you haven’t heard anything back.

Little did I know that the real excitement wasn’t to begin until that night. While we watched the fireworks, I began to get an urge to go to the restroom, but I didn’t want to miss the show. I overheard my sister Isabel talking to my mom, and I got closer to them to hear what they were talking about. “Mom, I’m going to the bathroom with Lizette, okay?” said Isabel. “Okay,” my mom replied, “but stay together. I don’t want any of you getting lost. ” The second I saw my sisters leaving, I didn’t think twice before running after them—without telling my parents. As I followed them through the huge crowd of people, I started to lose sight of them. I began to panic as I scanned the crowd for them. Crazy thoughts ran through my head like “What if I never see my family again?” I gave up trying to find my sisters and tried to get back to my family, but I was completely mixed up. After searching for what seemed like forever, I couldn’t hold back my tears, and I started crying like I had never cried before. “Mommy!” I cried out. But everyone around me was too caught up by the fireworks to pay any attention to me. I tried to stop the scary thoughts that were going through my head and started running as fast as I could...anywhere...everywhere. I was going crazy. I’m only six, and I’ve gotten lost. “What have I done? How could I have been so dumb to run off without telling anyone?” I thought. With my face wet from tears, I kept running, pulling at people’s pants and crying, “Mommy!” I was hoping, wishing, that one of these adults would be one of my parents. 注意： 1. 续写词数应150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Luckily, I felt a pat on my shoulder and a gentle voice came, “Are you lost?” _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Finally, through the crowd of people, I recognized a face. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2023—2024学年第二学期期中考试高二 英语试题 （考试时间：120分钟 满分：150分） 注意事项： 1. 答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号等填写在答题卡上。 2. 回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上，写在本试卷上无效。 3. 考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 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） 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，并标在试卷的相应位置。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?

A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。短文介绍了为你所爱的人可挑选的礼物。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Electric toothbrush中的“One review of 56 studies has found that a powered toothbrush resulted in a 21 per cent reduction of plaque and an 11 per cent reduction in gingivitis(牙龈炎)after three months, compared with a manual toothbrush. It’s also a fun way for children to look after their dental hygiene.”（一项对56项研究的综述发现，与手动牙刷相比，三个月后，电动牙刷可以减少21%的牙菌斑，减少11%的牙龈炎。这也是孩子们保持牙齿卫生的一个有趣的方法。）可知，电动牙刷适合有牙齿问题的人。故选B项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Air purifier中的“Research has shown that air purifiers can help reduce allergy reactions, remove asthma(哮喘)causes such as dust by improving air quality in your home”（研究表明，空气净化器可以帮助减少过敏反应，通过改善家里的空气质量来消除灰尘等哮喘原因）根据Electric toothbrush中的“One review of 56 studies has found that a powered toothbrush resulted in a 21 per cent reduction of plaque and an 11 per cent reduction in gingivitis(牙龈炎)after three months,”（一项对56项研究的综述发现，三个月后，电动牙刷可以减少21%的牙菌斑，减少11%的牙龈炎，）根据Dark chocolate中的“Good news is that dark chocolate is associated with several health benefits.”（好消息是，黑巧克力对健康有益。）可知，前三个礼物的共同点是它们有助于促进健康的生活方式。故选D项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Your time中的“Quality time spent with your nearest and dearest is completely free, but is the most precious gift you could give them.”（与你最亲近的人共度美好时光是完全免费的，但这是你能给他们的最珍贵的礼物。）可知，最后一个礼物是无价的。故选A项。 B Last summer at a bookstore, my son Henry was fascinated by the cover of the first novel from Peter Brown’s middle-grade trilogy (三部曲).

For my son, it was the first book he discovered on his own; the first to impact him with the mix of tragedy (悲剧) and joy. When I finished the book, I knew why Henry loved it. In our book club discussion, he described how Brown’s pictures and words had made the story feel real. When talking about its final scenes, where Roz leaves to find repairs for her injured body, Henry cried again. His previous reading experiences had cheerful, “happily-ever-after” endings, but this book introduced him to the beauty of complex emotions. I tried to explain how sadness can enhance the meaning of happy moments, but failed to fully convince him. Once our discussion ended, Henry requested to buy The Wild Robot Escapes and instantly fell in love with it. He read the first two books repeatedly, so you can imagine his excitement when we finally got a copy of The Wild Robot Protects. We both agree it is worth the wait. Roz leaves the island again to stop an underwater threat: “the poison tide.” Brown expertly balances between breathtaking adventure and unsettling ideas- not just happiness and sadness, but also, given the climate-change undercurrents, hope and despair. And, here’s something special about Roz: her physical clumsiness and confusion about life, conveyed through her expressive eyes and downturned mouth. Her story reflects the challenges of surviving in a strange place, much like a child’s journey. Readers love Roz. They learn from her. Even better, they learn alongside her. Roz gave Henry the power to push through the first book’s sad parts, getting him ready to appreciate that, sometimes, sadness isn’t a bad thing to feel. 4. What drove the author to read The Wild Robot? A. Its tragic ending. B. Henry’s tearful recommendation. C. Its attractive cover. D. Henry’s emotional response to it. 5. What is one theme of The Wild Robol Protects? A. Family and community. B. Concerns of global issues. C. Exploration of the ocean. D. Man-robot relationship. 6. What makes Roz in the trilogy special? A. Her childlike expressions. B. Her robotic power. C. Her struggling experiences. D. Her adventurous spirit. 7. Which message does this text seem to communicate? A. Misfortune inspires great literary works. B. Robot stories work like magic on children. C. Book discussions help kids survive tragedies. D. Reading literature facilitates personal growth. 【答案】4. D 5.

The participating chimpanzees were given juice while staring at a screen flashing side by side photos of other chimps. One animal from each pair of photos had lived with the group for at least a year, while the other was a stranger. An eye-tracking camera recorded where the participants were looking and for how long. Data showed their eyes rested longer on familiar groupmates, suggesting “rich recognition of each other.” There is also evidence that they became more intent when shown a picture of a chimpanzee with whom they’d had more positive interactions, compared with conflicting relationships. In the most impressive case, a 46-year-old chimpanzee named Louise repeatedly demonstrated “intense” attention upon seeing photographs of her sister Loretta and nephew Erin, whom she hadn’t seen in more than 26 years. The team said Louise’s results represent the longest-lasting social memory documented in any non-human animal to date. “We tend to see ourselves as unique special creatures with incredible intellectual (智力的) capacities that are very different from other animals on earth,” said Laura Simone Lewis, a postdoctoral fellow in Berkeley’s psychology department and lead author of the study. “This study is showing us how similar we are to chimpanzees.” She noted that the findings support the theory that long-term social memory in humans and modern day chimps has come from “our last common ancestor that lived somewhere between 5 to 7 million years ago” who also likely had long-term social memory. Now that they have definitive evidence that these endangered species possess long-term social memories, researchers have more questions, including whether chimpanzees miss the individuals they’re no longer with, especially their friends and family. “Our study doesn’t determine they are doing this, but it raises questions about the possibility that they may have the ability to do so,” Lewis said. 8. What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A. The nature of chimps. B. The method of the study. C. The analysis of the recorded data. D. The layout of experimental equipment. 9. What does the underlined word “intent” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Attentive. B. Doubtful. C. Hesitant. D. Emotional. 10. Why is the example of Louise in paragraph 4 mentioned? A. To stress chimps are as intelligent as human beings. B. To explain where chimps’ social memory comes from. C. To better demonstrate the chimps’ memory length. D. To further prove the existence of chimps’ social memory. 11. What will the research team most probably continue to explore? A. Whether chimps feel strong emotions to their long lost friends. B. How to strengthen chimps’ long-term social memories. C. How chimps recognised their close contacts after long separation. D. Why chimps possess the amazing social memories. 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. D 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。一项新的研究发现，来自世界各地的动物园的26只黑猩猩可以在分开数十年后仍然认出家庭成员和久违的朋友。研究人员表示，这些结果支持了长期社会记忆在人类和现代黑猩猩中的理论，这可能来自于我们在500万年到700万年前的共同祖先。 8题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“The participating chimpanzees were given juice while staring at a screen flashing side by side photos of other chimps. One animal from each pair of photos had lived with the group for at least a year, while the other was a stranger. An eye-tracking camera recorded where the participants were looking and for how long. Data showed their eyes rested longer on familiar groupmates, suggesting “rich recognition of each other.(参与实验的黑猩猩一边喝果汁，一边盯着屏幕，屏幕上并排闪现着其他黑猩猩的照片。每对照片中的一只动物与这群动物一起生活了至少一年，而另一只则是陌生人。眼球追踪摄像机记录了参与者看的地方和看了多久。数据显示，它们的目光停留在熟悉的同伴身上的时间更长，这表明“彼此之间有丰富的认同感”)”可知，本段主要介绍了实验的具体方法。故选B项。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段中“In the most impressive case, a 46-year-old chimpanzee named Louise repeatedly demonstrated “intense” attention upon seeing photographs of her sister Loretta and nephew Erin, whom she hadn’t seen in more than 26 years.(在最令人印象深刻的案例中，一只名叫路易丝的46岁黑猩猩在看到她的妹妹洛丽塔和侄子艾琳的照片时反复表现出“强烈”的关注，她已经26年没有见过他们了)”以及划线词所在句“they became more intent when shown a picture of a chimpanzee with whom they’d had more positive interactions, compared with conflicting relationships（当它们看到与他们有过更多积极互动的黑猩猩的照片时，与冲突关系相比，他们变得更加intent)”可知，当46岁黑猩猩在看到她的妹妹洛丽塔和侄子艾琳的照片时反复表现出“强烈”的关注，这里妹妹洛丽塔和侄子艾琳与46岁黑猩猩为亲属，不存在冲突关系，所以46岁黑猩猩看到亲人时是专注的，可推测划线词的含义为“专注的”，与attentive意义相近。故选A项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“The team said Louise’s results represent the longest-lasting social memory documented in any non-human animal to date.(研究小组表示，路易斯的结果代表了迄今为止在任何非人类动物中记录的持续时间最长的社会记忆)”可知，路易斯的结果代表了迄今为止在任何非人类动物中记录的持续时间最长的社会记忆。因而，此处提到路易斯的例子是为了进一步证明黑猩猩的社会记忆是存在的。故选D项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“researchers have more questions, including whether chimpanzees miss the individuals they’re no longer with, especially their friends and family. “Our study doesn’t determine they are doing this, but it raises questions about the possibility that they may have the ability to do so,” Lewis said.(研究人员还有更多的问题，包括黑猩猩是否会想念它们不再在一起的个体，尤其是它们的朋友和家人。刘易斯说：“我们的研究并没有确定它们是否在这样做，但它提出了一个问题，即它们是否有能力这样做。”)”可知，研究小组最后可能继续探索黑猩猩是否对失散多年的朋友有强烈的感情。故选A项。 D US forests could become a “substantial carbon source” by 2070, suggesting that forests could worsen global warming instead of easing it, a new Agriculture Department report says. US forests currently absorb 11 percent of US carbon emissions (释放), equal to the combined emissions from 40 coal power plants. The report predicts that the ability of forests to absorb carbon will start declining after 2025 and that forests could emit up to 100 million metric tons of carbon a year as their emissions from decaying (腐烂) trees go beyond their carbon absorption. The prediction suggests that this will require the US to cut emissions more rapidly to reach net zero, according to Lynn Riley, a senior manager of climate science. “Eleven percent of our domestic emissions. That is a really significant portion,” Riley said. “As we work to decarbonize... forests are one of the greatest tools available. If we were to lose that, it means the US will contribute that much more” in emissions. The report also assesses and predicts the extent of renewable resources provided by the nation’s forests and undeveloped landscapes, including farmlands, wetlands and grasslands. According to the report, the loss of carbon absorption is driven in part by natural disasters which are increasing in frequency and strength as global temperatures rise. Development in forested areas, which the report predicts will continue to increase, is having the same effect as people increasingly move to the so-called wildland urban areas. Aging forests also contribute as older, mature trees absorb less carbon than younger trees of the same species, and the US forests are rapidly aging. More aggressive forest management can help by cutting down a small portion of aging forests to make ways for younger trees that absorb more carbon. A thorough study of each forest should be done before removing older trees, Riley said. 12. Why could US forests become a “substantial carbon source”? A. They fail to absorb enough carbon. B. They begin to emit carbon increasingly. C. They may emit more carbon than absorb. D. Mature trees outnumber young trees. 13. Which of the following may Lynn Riley agree with? A. US forests have lost their role in carbon absorption. B. It is urgent for the US to reduce carbon emissions. C. The US has contributed to 11% carbon emissions. D The loss of forests contributes to less carbon emissions. 14. What leads to the loss of carbon absorption? A. Improper tree species. B. Removal of aging trees. C. Decreasing urban development. D. Frequent severe natural disasters. 15. Which could be a suitable title for the text? A. Aging Forests —a Major Emitter of Carbon. B. Growing Forests —a Solution to Carbon Emissions. C. Reducing Forests —a Threat to Global Warming. D. Decaying Forests —a Consequence of Global Warming. 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. D 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇说明文。美国农业部的一份新报告称，美国的森林正在遭受自然灾害的破坏，随着年龄的增长，它们正在失去吸收温室气体的能力，这可能会加剧全球变暖，而不是缓解全球变暖。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“US forests could become a “substantial carbon source” by 2070, suggesting that forests could worsen global warming instead of easing it, a new Agriculture Department report says.( 美国农业部的报告称，到2070年，美国森林可能成为“重要的碳源”，这表明森林可能会加剧全球变暖，而不是减缓。)”以及第二段“US forests currently absorb 11 percent of US carbon emissions (释放), equal to the combined emissions from 40 coal power plants. The report predicts that the ability of forests to absorb carbon will start declining after 2025 and that forests could emit up to 100 million metric tons of carbon a year as their emissions from decaying (腐烂) trees go beyond their carbon absorption.(美国森林目前吸收了美国11%的碳排放量，相当于40个燃煤发电厂的总排放量。它预测，森林吸收碳的能力将在2025年之后开始迅速下降，森林每年可能排放高达1亿吨的碳，因为腐烂的树木排放的碳超过了它们吸收的碳。)”可推知，美国森林成为“重要的碳源”是因为它能吸收很多的碳排放，但它的这种能力却在下降，因此由于它排放的碳比吸收的更多，从而导致它成为了“重要的碳源”，故选C。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“The prediction suggests that this will require the US to cut emissions more rapidly to reach net zero, according to Lynn Riley, a senior manager of climate science.(气候科学高级经理Lynn Riley表示，这一预测表明，这将要求美国更快地减少碳排量，以实现零排放。)”可知，Lynn Riley认为，美国应该立刻减少碳排量，故选B。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“According to the report, the loss of carbon absorption is driven in part by natural disasters which are increasing in frequency and strength as global temperatures rise.(根据该报告，碳吸收的损失在一定程度上是由自然灾害造成的，自然灾害的频率和强度都在增加。)”可知，碳吸收的损失在于频繁发生的自然灾害，故选D。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“US forests could become a “substantial carbon source” by 2070, suggesting that forests could worsen global warming instead of easing it, a new Agriculture Department report says.( 美国农业部的报告称，到2070年，森林可能成为“重要的碳源”，这表明森林可能会加剧全球变暖，而不是减缓。)”以及后文对美国森林的老化从而导致森林失去了吸收碳的能力可知，文章主要是讲随着树木的老化，森林正在失去吸收温室气体的能力，故A项“老化的森林——碳的主要排放”符合文章标题，故选A。 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。 We’ve all been there—you’ve sent a message and it’s marked “read”, but you haven’t heard anything back.

A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了当别人阅读你的信息后，不回复你时，要学会心平气和的面对，不要让社交软件影响到你的生活。 【16题详解】 根据后文“Here are a few tips.(这里有一些建议)”以及前文“it’s also pretty common.(这种情况很常见）”可知，空处应该是承上启下说明可以应用这些建议避免被影响，所以F项“You can keep the situation from bothering you until you hear back.(你可以避免这种情况困扰你)”符合文意。故选F项。 【17题详解】 根据上文“Here are a few other reasons for a delayed response.(以下是延迟响应的其他一些原因。)”以及下文“They put their phone away to focus on work or school. They accidentally forgot to reply. Maybe they thought about what they wanted to say but didn’t actually text it. (他们把手机收起来，专注于工作或学习。他们不小心忘了回复。也许他们想到了他们想说什么，但实际上并没有发短信。)”可知，空处是延迟响应的可能原因，与D项“They want to give you a longer response but can’t right now. (他们想给你更长的回复，但现在不能)”上下文一致，符合文意。故选D项。 【18题详解】 根据前文“Resist the temptation to double- text.(不要信息轰炸对方)”以及后文“If you send a lot of follow- up texts, it’ll be hard for them to keep up and they might get stressed. Leave them with just one text to catch up on—the other person will probably appreciate your patience.(如果你发了很多后续短信，他们很难跟上，他们可能会感到压力。只给他们留一条信息，让他们跟上进度——对方可能会感激你的耐心)”可知，本段讲述不要一直给对方发信息，要给对方一些时间，让他们跟上你的信息，所以C项“Give them a little space so they have a chance to reply.(给他们一点空间，让他们有机会回答)”符合文意。故选C项。 【19题详解】 根据段首句“Read over your previous messages. (阅读你之前的信息)”，及上文“See if there are any confusing texts that you need to clarify. It’s okay if you review your message again and notice that it might have been a little unclear—it happens! (看看是否有什么令人困惑的文本需要澄清。如果你再次查看你的信息，并注意到它可能有点不清楚，这是没有关系的——这种情况发生了!)可知，再次查看信息可能会发现一些被误读的东西，与G项“You might feel relieved when you find something that is easy to misread.(可能会感到宽慰，当你发现了一些容易被误读的东西)”上下文一致，符合文意。故选G项。 【20题详解】 根据下句“Keep it out of sight and get some peace of mind.(把它放在你看不到的地方，让你的内心平静下来)”以及后文“Don’t let it upset or confuse you. If you get your mind off any notifications, you’ll be able to brainstorm new ways to spend your time.(不要让它困扰或迷惑你。如果你不去想任何通知，你就能头脑风暴出新的打发时间的方法)”可知，本段主题是把手机放到一边，眼不见，心不烦。与其纠结为什么会被“已读不回”，不如放下手机，做些更有意义的事。所以A项“Put your phone away.(把手机收起来)”起到概括作用，符合文意。故选A项。 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，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Yang Haoran, born into a family of cotton farmers, spent his childhood playing in the cotton fields.

(运用了which引导定语从句) 第二节（满分25分） 47. 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。 When I was about six years old, my family and I went to Disneyland one weekend and had a wonderful day full of excitement. Little did I know that the real excitement wasn’t to begin until that night. While we watched the fireworks, I began to get an urge to go to the restroom, but I didn’t want to miss the show. I overheard my sister Isabel talking to my mom, and I got closer to them to hear what they were talking about. “Mom, I’m going to the bathroom with Lizette, okay?” said Isabel. “Okay,” my mom replied, “but stay together. I don’t want any of you getting lost. ” The second I saw my sisters leaving, I didn’t think twice before running after them—without telling my parents. As I followed them through the huge crowd of people, I started to lose sight of them. I began to panic as I scanned the crowd for them. Crazy thoughts ran through my head like “What if I never see my family again?” I gave up trying to find my sisters and tried to get back to my family, but I was completely mixed up. After searching for what seemed like forever, I couldn’t hold back my tears, and I started crying like I had never cried before. “Mommy!” I cried out. But everyone around me was too caught up by the fireworks to pay any attention to me. I tried to stop the scary thoughts that were going through my head and started running as fast as I could...anywhere...everywhere. I was going crazy. I’m only six, and I’ve gotten lost. “What have I done? How could I have been so dumb to run off without telling anyone?” I thought. With my face wet from tears, I kept running, pulling at people’s pants and crying, “Mommy!” I was hoping, wishing, that one of these adults would be one of my parents. 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。 Luckily, I felt a pat on my shoulder and a gentle voice came, “Are you lost?” _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Finally, through the crowd of people, I recognized a face. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Luckily, I felt a pat on my shoulder and a gentle voice came, “Are you lost”? “Yeeesss!” I cried. It was a lady working at Disney. She picked me up and carried me through the crowd as she kept asking me where my parents had been standing. As I began to feel safe in the lady’s arms, I calmed down and thought for a few minutes. I remembered we had been leaning against a wooden fence. She carried me around the wooden fence, asking random people, “Is this your child?” “No. Sorry,” everyone kept saying. You’re sorry? Look at me. I’m looking for my mommy, I thought. Finally, through the crowd of people, I recognized a face. I was so happy. “Mommy!” I shouted as I pointed toward her so the lady could carry me to her. When the lady put me down, I ran to my mom and gave her a huge hug. I couldn’t let go of her. I didn’t want to lose her again. As I cried in my mother’s arms, my family thanked the nice lady for everything she had done for me. For the rest of the evening and the entire next day, I was more concerned with making sure that my parents were within my sight at all times than I was with seeing the sights at Disneyland. I look back at these memories and laugh at myself, but to this day, I always make sure to tell someone where I am going before I run off. 【解析】 【导语】本篇书面表达为读后续写，文章讲述了作者一次难忘的经历。作者跟家人去迪士尼游玩，没告诉家人的情况下跟着姐姐们去卫生间，结果与家人走散。作者哭着到处找家人，但是大家都沉浸在烟火表演中。就在作者无助时，有人发现了与家人走散的作者，并带着作者找到了家人。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“幸运的是，我感到有人拍了拍我的肩膀，一个温柔的声音传来：‘你迷路了吗?’”可知，第一段可描写有人发现作者与家人走散，并带着作者去找家人。 ②由第二段首句内容“最后，在人群中，我认出了一张脸。”可知，第二段可描写作者找到了家人，家人表示感谢。 2. 续写线索：询问情况——帮助找家人——找到家人——感谢——感悟 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①镇定下来：calm down/compose oneself ②跑向某人：run to sb/rush to sb ③拥抱：gave sb a hug/hug sb/embrace sb 情绪类 ①高兴：happy/delighted ②感谢：thank/show appreciation/show gratitude/be grateful 【点睛】 【高分句型1】She picked me up and carried me through the crowd as she kept asking me where my parents had been standing. （运用了as引导的时间状语从句和where引导的宾语从句） 【高分句型2】As I cried in my mother’s arms, my family thanked the nice lady for everything she had done for me.（运用as引导的时间状语从句和省略that的限制性定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
