And of course, many of these are on the World Heritage List (WHL). These include remains of ancient cultures like Cuzco in Peru or the rock city of Petra in Jordan as well as old city centers such as Rome in Italy. Also common are places of artistic or cultural significance, like the Stonehenge stone circle in England. But the WHL contains a lot of sites that are not so obvious. Let’s look at a few of the more unusual sites on the WHL and why it is important to preserve them. Citadel of Haiti These monuments were built at the end of the 19th century when Haiti became independent and the many thousands of black slaves in Haiti were free for the first time. These ex-slaves built the monuments, which the WHL describes as “a universal symbol of liberty”. Borders of France and Spain This is an area of great natural beauty and the mountains have many interesting geological formations. But it is also an area of small farms. The WHL has listed the site because it shows us about past European society through its landscape of villages, farms, fields, up land pastures and mountain roads. The Darjeeling Himalayan Railway This railway in India was opened in 1881 and is still operating today. It crosses a difficult area of mountain landscape and it is a great example of railway engineering. The WHL says that it is “the first, and still the most outstanding, example of a hill passenger railway.” The city of Brasilia Brasilia is a capital city that was created from nothing in 1956. The WHL calls it “a land mark in the history of town planning”. The different areas of the city and the buildings themselves were all designed at the same time so that they would harmonize with each other. 1. What’s the function of the examples of World Heritage Sites in paragraph 1? A. To highlight the importance of WHL. B. To exemplify sites of artistic and cultural value. C. To compare the differences between various sites. D. To draw readers’ attention to more unique sites on the WHL. 2. Who built Citadel of Haiti? A. Former slaves. B. Citizens in Haiti. C. Active revolutionaries. D. Haiti government. 3. Which site will attract a town planner most? A. Citadel of Haiti. B. Borders of France and Spain. C. The city of Brasilia. D. The Darjeeling Himalayan Railway. 【答案】1. D 2. A 3. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文，主要介绍了世界遗产名录上的几个不寻常的地方。 【1题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“These include remains of ancient cultures like Cuzco in Peru or the rock city of Petra in Jordan as well as old city centers such as Rome in Italy. Also common are places of artistic or cultural significance, like the Stonehenge stone circle in England. But the WHL contains a lot of sites that are not so obvious. Let’s look at a few of the more unusual sites on the WHL and why it is important to preserve them.(其中包括秘鲁的库斯科、约旦的佩特拉岩城等古文化遗迹，以及意大利的罗马等古老城市中心。同样常见的还有具有艺术或文化意义的地方，比如英国的巨石阵。但是WHL包含了很多不那么明显的地点。让我们来看看世界自然保护区一些比较不寻常的地点，以及为什么保护它们很重要。)”可知，第一段列举的世界遗产的例子的作用是吸引读者对世界遗产名录上更多的独特的地方的关注。故选D。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Citadel of Haiti部分的“These ex-slaves built the monuments, which the WHL describes as “a universal symbol of liberty”.(这些曾经是奴隶的人建造了纪念碑，WHL将其描述为“自由的普遍象征”。)”可知，前奴隶修建了Citadel of Haiti。故选A。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据The city of Brasilia部分的“The WHL calls it “a land mark in the history of town planning”.(WHL称其为“城市规划史上的一个里程碑”。)”可知，最能吸引城市规划师的是The city of Brasilia。故选C。 B When I was a little boy growing up, my Mom, Dad, brothers and I lived in my Nana’s old house. It was surrounded by four huge vegetable gardens. And around the house so many flowers were planted. It was so beautiful there in the spring and summer. That wasn’t all, though. On the back porch Nana had dozens of potted plants hanging on hooks. She watered them, talked to them and nurtured them. And in the winter she would carry them all inside and set them on shelves near the windows of our enclosed front porch. There with a little water and a lot of love she kept them alive, green, and growing even during the coldest, darkest months. As a boy I was puzzled by all the effort she put into them. I understood the vegetable gardens. They helped to feed the family all winter long. I even understood the flowers around the house. They were pretty and smelled so sweet in the summer months. The reason she put so much effort into caring for those potted plants, however, eluded me. They didn’t give us any food and they rarely had any flowers on them. They remained a mystery to my child’s mind. Now as I’ve grown older I am beginning to understand why my Nana had those potted plants. It is the same reason I have so many pictures of sunrises and forests hanging in my home. They remind me during the dark, cold, winter months full of bare trees and yellow grass that light, love, and growth still exist. They remind me that Spring will come again. They remind me that God loves us and is still with us even when the earth doesn’t show it. Today I see Nana’s potted plants in a new light. They are worth every bit of the love and care she put into them. But what tells me most about light and love is Nana herself. She is light to my soul even in my darkest times. And her love lives on in my heart even if she is in Heaven. May we all learn to love as she loved, shine as she shined, and live as she lived. 4. Which of the following is close in meaning to the underlined word “eluded” in paragraph 2? A. Upset. B. Misguided. C. Confused. D. Distracted. 5. Why was Nana fond of potted plants? A. They were a sign of hope. B. They resembled sunrise and forests. C. They constantly kept Nana company. D. They were portable and easy to nurture. 6. What is the author’s purpose of writing the passage? A. To advocate growing potted plants. B. To sing the praise of Nana’s spirit and love. C. To stress the benefits of a positive lifestyle. D. To recall beautiful memories spent with Nana. 7. What’s the type of the passage? A. A non-fiction. B. A book review. C. An agricultural leaflet. D. A celebrity biography. 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. B 7. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者小时候不理解奶奶为什么喜欢盆栽，随着年龄的增长，作者明白了盆栽是希望的象征。 【4题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词前文“The reason she put so much effort into caring for those potted plants, however, eluded me.(然而，她花这么多精力照顾那些盆栽植物的原因，却eluded我摸)”和划线词后文“They didn’t give us any food and they rarely had any flowers on them. They remained a mystery to my child’s mind.(它们没有给我们任何食物，而且它们也很少开花。它们对我孩子来说仍然是个谜)”可知，作者对于Nana费心照顾这些盆栽感到困惑，因为作者认为它们没有贡献任何食物，而且也很少开花。故划线词意思是“困惑的”，故选C。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Now as I’ve grown older I am beginning to understand why my Nana had those potted plants. It is the same reason I have so many pictures of sunrises and forests hanging in my home. They remind me during the dark, cold, winter months full of bare trees and yellow grass that light, love, and growth still exist. They remind me that Spring will come again. They remind me that God loves us and is still with us even when the earth doesn’t show it.(现在，随着年龄的增长，我开始明白为什么我的祖母会有那些盆栽。这和我家里挂了那么多日出和森林的照片的原因是一样的。它们提醒我，在光秃秃的树木和黄草丛生的黑暗、寒冷的冬天，光、爱和生长仍然存在。它们提醒我春天还会再来。它们提醒我，上帝爱我们，即使在地球上没有表现出来的时候，上帝仍然与我们同在)”可知，Nana喜欢盆栽是因为它们是希望的象征。故选A。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Today I see Nana’s potted plants in a new light. They are worth every bit of the love and care she put into them. But what tells me most about light and love is Nana herself. She is light to my soul even in my darkest times. And her love lives on in my heart even if she is in Heaven. May we all learn to love as she loved, shine as she shined, and live as she lived.(今天，我以新眼光看待奶奶的盆栽。它们值得她付出的每一点爱和关心。但最能告诉我关于光和爱的是奶奶自己。即使在我最黑暗的时候，她也是我灵魂的光。即使她身在天堂，她的爱仍在我心中。愿我们都能学会像她那样去爱，像她那样闪耀，像她那样生活)”可知，作者写这篇文章的目的是歌颂奶奶的精神和爱。故选B。 7题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章主要讲述了作者小时候不理解奶奶为什么喜欢盆栽，随着年龄的增长，作者明白了盆栽是希望的象征。可推知，这篇文章是一篇关于奶奶的非小说类文学作品。故选A。 C It seems we can’t get off the planet fast enough. Two thirds of NASA’s money is spent on manned space exploration, and that number will grow with the USA’s decision to send a man to Mars in 2037. We’ve seen all there is to see on Earth, right? Wrong. The final place is here, under the surface of the sea. Heading down into the ocean, human limits are quickly reached. At 200 metres, the water is as black as a moonless night. Most nuclear submarines (核潜艇) would implode (内爆) before they reach 1 km down. At 3 km — still less than the average depth of the ocean — there’s a good chance that you’ll discover a new species. The deepest­diving whales go no further. At the very bottom, about 11 km down, lies the Challenger Deep, the deepest part of the Mariana Trench in the Pacific Ocean. Eighteen humans have walked on the Moon, but only three have seen the Deep with their own eyes. Yet things live down there. Big things. A very loud sound was once heard and scientists suggested that it was produced by an animal bigger than a blue whale the largest creature known on the planet. In the late 1990s, a deep­water submarine was dropped in the Southern Ocean, and passing 4,000 metres, it discovered something huge passing under it. Surprised? Don’t be. The ocean covers 70% of the planet’s surface and we’ve studied less than 5% of it. We know more about the dark side of the Moon than about the bottom of the sea. One reason that we explore space is to find evidence of other life forms. The search for life outside of Earth is important, but robots can look under the dry rocks of Mars better than humans. They’re absolutely important for doing ocean research too, but they can’t look under the sea. The cost of exploration is rising, but the results would benefit all our lives. Understanding the oceans will help us find new sources of food, drugs and energy. Perhaps now it's time to begin a new period of sea exploration. Manned exploration of space is science fiction (科幻小说). The adventure of the deep sea is science fact. 8 What do the examples in Paragraph 2 suggest? A. Sea exploration is no easy task. B. Nuclear submarines need to be improved. C. The ocean is far deeper than people expected. D. The condition under the sea is similar to that on the Moon. 9. What do we know about the Challenger Deep? A. Blue whales live there. B. No one has ever been there. C. People are terrified by the sight of it. D. It is the deepest known location on Earth. 10. What does the author think of the discovery in the Southern Ocean? A. It’s surprising. B. It’s no wonder. C. It’s worrying. D. It’s no success. 11. What does the author want to tell us? A. Space exploration is of little value. B. We spend too much money on space travel. C. Humans’ success lies in how much they explore the sea. D. The ocean is the place where we should make our efforts. 【答案】8. A 9. D 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。通过对the Mariana Trench和Southern Ocean海底勘探的描述，作者讲述了人类对深海的探索，比起对太空的探索，或许深海更具现实意义。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。由第二段Eighteen humans have walked on the Moon, but only three have seen the Deep with their own eyes.可知，已有18个人在月球行走过，但是亲眼目睹Mariana Trench深度的却只有3个人。可见比起探索太空，人类对于深海的探索更艰难。故选A项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。由第二段At the very bottom, about 11 km down, lies the Challenger Deep, the deepest part of the Mariana Trench in the Pacific Ocean.可知，the Challenger Deep位于海底大概11公里的位置，是the Mariana Trench最深的部分。与 D项相符，故选D项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。由第四段it discovered something huge passing under it. Surprised? Don’t be. The ocean covers 70% of the planet’s surface and we’ve studied less than 5% of it. We know more about the dark side of the Moon than about the bottom of the sea.可知，对于Southern Ocean的发现，作者并不感到惊讶，地球表面70%被海水覆盖，人类对于它的研究还不到5%。对月球阴暗面的了解都比海底多。故选B项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。由倒数第二段The search for life outside of Earth is important, but robots can look under the dry rocks of Mars better than humans. They’re absolutely important for doing ocean research too, but they can’t look under the sea. The cost of exploration is rising, but the results would benefit all our lives. Understanding the oceans will help us find new sources of food, drugs and energy.可知，对于太空的探索是很重要，可机器人会比人类做的更好。但对于探索海底，机器人做不到。虽然勘探费用高一些，但可以帮人类找到更多食物，药品和能量来源，对人类的实际意义更大。故选D项。 D Nowadays, countries are eager to get more electric cars on the road because moving away from gas-powered vehicles is vital to fighting climate change. China says that most new vehicles sold by 2035 will be electric. The United Kingdom will ban new gas-powered cars in 2030. One of the world’s major automakers, General Motors (GM), announced that it would stop selling gas-powered cars by 2035. The key to an electric future is batteries. Automakers are racing to pack the most energy into the smallest one. The lithium-ion battery is what powers our mobile devices, which can be recharged again and again. Making these batteries has an environmental cost. Lithium is taken from the earth, like the oil used to make gasoline. But the long-term cost is much smaller. “Once you burn gasoline, you can’t recycle it,” says Jessika Trancik, a researcher at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. “But when you use up a battery, you can still recycle the material.” It’s up to governments to make electric cars accessible to everyone. National policies can help. In the United States, an electric Chevy Volt costs about $35, 000. Trancik says charging stations must also be made widely available. As part of an effort to fight climate change, America plans to build half a million of them in the US by 2030. She hopes enough charging stations will be built soon. “It’s important to put chargers where many different people can have access to them,” she says, “not just wealthier people.” Last year, almost 5% of approximately 67 million new cars sold world widewere electric. For Venkat Viswanathan, a professor of Mechanical Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University, green electricity is part of the solution to climate change, and electric cars are just the beginning. He sees a future of solar powered homes and electric flying cars. “Soon, a plug in vehicle might be as cheap as a gas-powered car. It is now abundantly clear that electric is the future,” he says. “It will be a totally new world.” 12. Why are countries eager to promote electric cars? A. To reduce the cost of vehicles. B. To increase the availability of charging stations. C. To promote solar-powered homes. D. To deal with climate change. 13. What does Trancik indicate about charging stations in Paragraph 3? A. They should come down in price. B. They may be unfairly laid out. C. Enough of them have been built. D. They favor more ordinary people. 14. What can be inferred from Viswanathan’s words? A. Gas-powered cars will be cheaper. B. The price of batteries will drop sharply. C. Electric vehicles will beat climate change. D. Green electricity will be widely used. 15. Which word best describes Trancik’s attitude to the lithium-ion battery? A. Positive. B. Skeptical. C. Conservative. D. Disapproving. 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. D 15. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了电动汽车的发展趋势和面临的一些问题。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Nowadays, countries are eager to get more electric cars on the road because moving away from gas-powered vehicles is vital to fighting climate change.(如今，各国都渴望让更多的电动汽车上路，因为摆脱燃油汽车对应对气候变化至关重要。)”可知，各国都渴望推广电动汽车是为了应对气候变化。故选D。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“It’s important to put chargers where many different people can have access to them,” she says, “not just wealthier people.”(“重要的是要把充电站建在许多不同的人都可以使用的地方，”她说，“而不仅仅是富人。”)”可知，Trancik强调了充电站建设要兼顾富人和穷人，由此推知，她认为充电站的布局可能会不公平。故选B。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“For Venkat Viswanathan, a professor of Mechanical Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University, green electricity is part of the solution to climate change, and electric cars are just the beginning. He sees a future of solar powered homes and electric flying cars.“Soon, a plug in vehicle might be as cheap as a gas-powered car. It is now abundantly clear that electric is the future,” he says. “It will be a totally new world.”(卡内基梅隆大学机械工程教授Venkat Viswanathan认为，绿色电力是气候变化解决方案的一部分，而电动汽车仅仅是个开始。他看到了太阳能家庭和电动飞行汽车的未来。“很快，插电式汽车可能会像汽油动力汽车一样便宜。现在非常清楚的是，电力是未来。”他说，“这将是一个全新的世界。”)”可推知，Viswanathan认为电动汽车只是一个开始，电动汽车、太阳能家庭和电动飞行汽车是未来，预示着绿色电力将得到广泛应用。故选D。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中““Once you burn gasoline, you can’t recycle it,” says Jessika Trancik, a researcher at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. “But when you use up a battery, you can still recycle the material.”(“一旦你燃烧了汽油，你就不能回收了，”麻省理工学院的研究员Jessika Trancik说。“但当电池用完时，你仍然可以回收这种材料。”)”可推知，在Trancik看来，锂电池用完可以回收，所以他对锂电池持积极的态度。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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Science fiction short stories are a genre of short stories with a plot that deals with science and the latest technology.

My brother and I were in the family room watching television when my mom came in to tell us the bad news. I wasn’t really sure what a heart operation meant, but I could tell it wasn’t a good thing. Juliana’s family was on a tight budget (预算), so was mine. My parents’ faces were full of worry and tears, and that was enough to make me cry, too. When we went to see Juliana in the hospital, she was lying in bed,and she had tubes (管子) and other things hooked to her. It was confusing and scary. The treatments continued, but Juliana was weaker and weaker. Every time I visited her, it was hard for me to believe her change. She seemed to lose all her strength and her lovely face turned pale. She lost a lot of weight even though she had proper food. As a child, I really couldn’t understand what the doctors were doing to her—it seemed like they were making her feel worse not better. Seeing my cousin in so much pain made me feel like my own heart was aching. Something needed to be done. I knew I wanted to help her get better faster, but at eight years old, I wasn’t sure how I could make a difference—I just knew I had to do something to help her. One night after we visited Juliana, all the way home I couldn’t stop thinking about her. A hospital can be a very scary, cold place. I imagined how lonely Juliana must have felt lying there during the night. When we got home, I sat down at our kitchen table. I always liked writing stories and drawing pictures, and I started working at it like I had done so many other nights. But this night was different—I was thinking about Juliana. I thought, “Juliana is going to receive rehabilitation training (康复训练) but money is tight. What if I can sell my drawings? Then I can raise money to help her get well faster.” 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。 When I told my parents, they thought it was a wonderful idea, but then we came up with an even better one. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Soon, we made enough money to pay for Juliana’s rehabilitation training. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version： When I told my parents, they thought it was a wonderful idea, but then we came up with an even better one. We would make a cookbook. The very next day, I asked all of our family and friends to send me their favorite food and ways to cook it. To my surprise, everyone jumped at the chance to help. Mom helped to put everything together. Grandma typed while I drew the pictures for it. My idea for a small cookbook quickly grew to over one hundred pages. The local skating club paid for the first printing. We sold almost 300 books in our first week. I couldn’t believe it. Soon, we made enough money to pay for Juliana’s rehabilitation training. Whenever I went to the hospital, Juliana thanked me with a smile. Not only did she thank me in words, but also she made a great effort, carrying out the instructions of her doctor and keeping doing light exercise every day. Soon she regained her strength and recovered. Our stories were shared among other patients. I was really proud that I had tried to make a difference and I made it! 【解析】 【分析】本文以人物为线索展开。作者在童年时目睹自己的表妹生病，同时她的家庭经济拮据，自己的父母也满是恐惧和忧愁。当表妹进行康复训练的时候，作者运用自己的绘画天赋，创作了食谱。在全家人的帮助下，书本被售卖，收益用于帮助表妹的康复训练。最后，表妹康复了，作者也为自己所做的事情感到骄傲。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“当我告诉我的父母时，他们认为这是一个很棒的主意，但后来我们想出了一个更好的主意。 ”可知，第一段可描写作者在家人的帮助下，进行食谱创作，并成功售卖。 ②由第二段首句内容“很快，我们就赚到了足够的钱来支付朱莉安娜的康复训练。”可知，第二段可描写作者卖书的收益帮助表妹康复及作者内心的感受。 2.续写线索：新的主意——家人帮助——书籍售卖——表妹努力康复——作者的心情 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①.请求：ask/request ②.执行：carry out/perform 情绪类 ①.感谢：show her gratitude/be grateful ②.骄傲：be proud/be filled with pride 【点睛】[高分句型1].Whenever I went to the hospital, Juliana thanked me with a smile.（由whenever引导的状语从句） [高分句型2].Not only did she thank me in words, but also she made a great effort, carrying out the instructions of her doctor and keeping doing light exercise every day.（由Not only开头的倒装句和现在分词作状语） 听力：1-5BBCCC 6-10ACACC 11-15CBCAC 16-20CBCAB 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 普集高中2023—2024学年度第二学期高 二 年级第 3 次月考 ( 英语 )试题(卷) 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。 1.

And of course, many of these are on the World Heritage List (WHL). These include remains of ancient cultures like Cuzco in Peru or the rock city of Petra in Jordan as well as old city centers such as Rome in Italy. Also common are places of artistic or cultural significance, like the Stonehenge stone circle in England. But the WHL contains a lot of sites that are not so obvious. Let’s look at a few of the more unusual sites on the WHL and why it is important to preserve them. Citadel of Haiti These monuments were built at the end of the 19th century when Haiti became independent and the many thousands of black slaves in Haiti were free for the first time. These ex-slaves built the monuments, which the WHL describes as “a universal symbol of liberty”. Borders of France and Spain This is an area of great natural beauty and the mountains have many interesting geological formations. But it is also an area of small farms. The WHL has listed the site because it shows us about past European society through its landscape of villages, farms, fields, up land pastures and mountain roads. The Darjeeling Himalayan Railway This railway in India was opened in 1881 and is still operating today. It crosses a difficult area of mountain landscape and it is a great example of railway engineering. The WHL says that it is “the first, and still the most outstanding, example of a hill passenger railway.” The city of Brasilia Brasilia is a capital city that was created from nothing in 1956. The WHL calls it “a land mark in the history of town planning”. The different areas of the city and the buildings themselves were all designed at the same time so that they would harmonize with each other. 1. What’s the function of the examples of World Heritage Sites in paragraph 1? A. To highlight the importance of WHL. B. To exemplify sites of artistic and cultural value. C. To compare the differences between various sites. D To draw readers’ attention to more unique sites on the WHL. 2. Who built Citadel of Haiti? A. Former slaves. B. Citizens in Haiti. C. Active revolutionaries. D. Haiti government. 3. Which site will attract a town planner most? A. Citadel of Haiti. B. Borders of France and Spain. C. The city of Brasilia. D. The Darjeeling Himalayan Railway. B When I was a little boy growing up, my Mom, Dad, brothers and I lived in my Nana’s old house. It was surrounded by four huge vegetable gardens. And around the house so many flowers were planted. It was so beautiful there in the spring and summer. That wasn’t all, though. On the back porch Nana had dozens of potted plants hanging on hooks. She watered them, talked to them and nurtured them. And in the winter she would carry them all inside and set them on shelves near the windows of our enclosed front porch. There with a little water and a lot of love she kept them alive, green, and growing even during the coldest, darkest months. As a boy I was puzzled by all the effort she put into them. I understood the vegetable gardens. They helped to feed the family all winter long. I even understood the flowers around the house. They were pretty and smelled so sweet in the summer months. The reason she put so much effort into caring for those potted plants, however, eluded me. They didn’t give us any food and they rarely had any flowers on them. They remained a mystery to my child’s mind. Now as I’ve grown older I am beginning to understand why my Nana had those potted plants. It is the same reason I have so many pictures of sunrises and forests hanging in my home. They remind me during the dark, cold, winter months full of bare trees and yellow grass that light, love, and growth still exist. They remind me that Spring will come again. They remind me that God loves us and is still with us even when the earth doesn’t show it. Today I see Nana’s potted plants in a new light. They are worth every bit of the love and care she put into them. But what tells me most about light and love is Nana herself. She is light to my soul even in my darkest times. And her love lives on in my heart even if she is in Heaven. May we all learn to love as she loved, shine as she shined, and live as she lived. 4. Which of the following is close in meaning to the underlined word “eluded” in paragraph 2? A. Upset. B. Misguided. C. Confused. D. Distracted. 5. Why was Nana fond of potted plants? A. They were a sign of hope. B. They resembled sunrise and forests. C. They constantly kept Nana company. D. They were portable and easy to nurture. 6. What is the author’s purpose of writing the passage? A To advocate growing potted plants. B. To sing the praise of Nana’s spirit and love. C. To stress the benefits of a positive lifestyle. D. To recall beautiful memories spent with Nana. 7. What’s the type of the passage? A A non-fiction. B. A book review. C. An agricultural leaflet. D. A celebrity biography. C It seems we can’t get off the planet fast enough. Two thirds of NASA’s money is spent on manned space exploration, and that number will grow with the USA’s decision to send a man to Mars in 2037. We’ve seen all there is to see on Earth, right? Wrong. The final place is here, under the surface of the sea. Heading down into the ocean, human limits are quickly reached. At 200 metres, the water is as black as a moonless night. Most nuclear submarines (核潜艇) would implode (内爆) before they reach 1 km down. At 3 km — still less than the average depth of the ocean — there’s a good chance that you’ll discover a new species. The deepest­diving whales go no further. At the very bottom, about 11 km down, lies the Challenger Deep, the deepest part of the Mariana Trench in the Pacific Ocean. Eighteen humans have walked on the Moon, but only three have seen the Deep with their own eyes. Yet things live down there. Big things. A very loud sound was once heard and scientists suggested that it was produced by an animal bigger than a blue whale, the largest creature known on the planet. In the late 1990s, a deep­water submarine was dropped in the Southern Ocean, and passing 4,000 metres, it discovered something huge passing under it. Surprised? Don’t be. The ocean covers 70% of the planet’s surface and we’ve studied less than 5% of it. We know more about the dark side of the Moon than about the bottom of the sea. One reason that we explore space is to find evidence of other life forms. The search for life outside of Earth is important, but robots can look under the dry rocks of Mars better than humans. They’re absolutely important for doing ocean research too, but they can’t look under the sea. The cost of exploration is rising, but the results would benefit all our lives. Understanding the oceans will help us find new sources of food, drugs and energy. Perhaps now it's time to begin a new period of sea exploration. Manned exploration of space is science fiction (科幻小说). The adventure of the deep sea is science fact. 8. What do the examples in Paragraph 2 suggest? A. Sea exploration is no easy task. B. Nuclear submarines need to be improved. C. The ocean is far deeper than people expected. D. The condition under the sea is similar to that on the Moon. 9. What do we know about the Challenger Deep? A. Blue whales live there. B. No one has ever been there. C. People are terrified by the sight of it. D. It is the deepest known location on Earth. 10. What does the author think of the discovery in the Southern Ocean? A. It’s surprising. B. It’s no wonder. C. It’s worrying. D. It’s no success. 11. What does the author want to tell us? A. Space exploration is of little value. B. We spend too much money on space travel. C. Humans’ success lies in how much they explore the sea. D. The ocean is the place where we should make our efforts. D Nowadays, countries are eager to get more electric cars on the road because moving away from gas-powered vehicles is vital to fighting climate change. China says that most new vehicles sold by 2035 will be electric. The United Kingdom will ban new gas-powered cars in 2030. One of the world’s major automakers, General Motors (GM), announced that it would stop selling gas-powered cars by 2035. The key to an electric future is batteries. Automakers are racing to pack the most energy into the smallest one. The lithium-ion battery is what powers our mobile devices, which can be recharged again and again. Making these batteries has an environmental cost. Lithium is taken from the earth, like the oil used to make gasoline. But the long-term cost is much smaller. “Once you burn gasoline, you can’t recycle it,” says Jessika Trancik, a researcher at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. “But when you use up a battery, you can still recycle the material.” It’s up to governments to make electric cars accessible to everyone. National policies can help. In the United States, an electric Chevy Volt costs about $35, 000. Trancik says charging stations must also be made widely available. As part of an effort to fight climate change, America plans to build half a million of them in the US by 2030.

My brother and I were in the family room watching television when my mom came in to tell us the bad news. I wasn’t really sure what a heart operation meant, but I could tell it wasn’t a good thing. Juliana’s family was on a tight budget (预算), so was mine. My parents’ faces were full of worry and tears, and that was enough to make me cry, too. When we went to see Juliana in the hospital, she was lying in bed,and she had tubes (管子) and other things hooked to her. It was confusing and scary. The treatments continued, but Juliana was weaker and weaker. Every time I visited her, it was hard for me to believe her change. She seemed to lose all her strength and her lovely face turned pale. She lost a lot of weight even though she had proper food. As a child, I really couldn’t understand what the doctors were doing to her—it seemed like they were making her feel worse not better. Seeing my cousin in so much pain made me feel like my own heart was aching. Something needed to be done. I knew I wanted to help her get better faster, but at eight years old, I wasn’t sure how I could make a difference—I just knew I had to do something to help her. One night after we visited Juliana all the way home I couldn’t stop thinking about her. A hospital can be a very scary, cold place. I imagined how lonely Juliana must have felt lying there during the night. When we got home, I sat down at our kitchen table. I always liked writing stories and drawing pictures, and I started working at it like I had done so many other nights. But this night was different—I was thinking about Juliana. I thought, “Juliana is going to receive rehabilitation training (康复训练) but money is tight. What if I can sell my drawings? Then I can raise money to help her get well faster.” 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。 When I told my parents, they thought it was a wonderful idea, but then we came up with an even better one. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Soon, we made enough money to pay for Juliana’s rehabilitation training. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力：1-5BBCCC 6-10ACACC 11-15CBCAC 16-20CBCAB 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
