He prepared gifts for everyone for the next day's party. When Matt got to school the next day, he saw a new girl in his classroom. She stood near Ms. Robins and looked around shyly. "This is Dorothy," said Ms. Robins. "Will someone volunteer to show her around today?" Matt raised his hand. He liked helping new kids feel welcome. "Thanks, Matt," Ms. Robins said. "Now let's get busy with our work so we're done in time for the party." That's when Matt realized he didn't have a gift for Dorothy. No one else would have one either. He felt a sad lump in his stomach. As he showed Dorothy around, he was careful not to mention the party. At lunchtime, he walked Dorothy to the lunchroom, still worried about what would happen at the party. Dorothy had brought a packed lunch, so Matt showed her where she should sit and went back to his usual seat. While eating, Matt suddenly remembered that kids often included candy hearts with the new year gifts they exchanged. An idea popped into his head. He whispered it to the kids around him. Soon everyone at the table was nodding and whispering. When they were back in the classroom after lunch, Matt told Ms. Robins about their plan. Ms. Robins agreed with a nodding smile. It was math time, so Matt invited Dorothy to study with him. He made sure Dorothy sat with her back to the room so she wouldn't notice her new classmates passing around an exquisite paper bag Ms. Robins prepared to collect their candy hearts. Before long, it was party time. They played games and then had cookies and juice. Finally, they passed out their gifts. The room buzzed with happy chatter. Matt saw the sad look on Dorothy's face as she glanced at other kids' desks overflowing with envelopes. "Here's your gift, Dorothy," Matt said, placing the paper bag in front of her. "It's from everyone." Dorothy stared at the beautiful bag full of "hearts". "We wanted you to have a special New Year's Day too," said Matt. "Thank you," Dorothy said, smiling at her new classmates. "It really is a special day!" 4. Why did Matt feel a sad lump in his stomach? A. He was guilty for forgetting about Dorothy. B. He was worried that Dorothy would be angry. C. He was afraid Dorothy wouldn't like the party. D. He was concerned that Dorothy would feel left out. 5. What does the underlined word "it" refer to in paragraph 3? A. Keeping the party a secret. B. Gathering candy hearts as a gift. C. Inviting Dorothy to study together. D. Including candy hearts in every gift. 6. Which of the following words best describes Matt? A. Innovative. B. Considerate. C. Modest. D. Generous. 7. What's the best title for the text? A. A Hearty Welcome B. A New Year Tradition C. The First Day of School D. The Reward of Kindness 【答案】4. D 5. B 6. B 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Matt在新年派对上为新来的同学Dorothy准备了一份大家的礼物，使她感到了温暖和欢迎。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“That's when Matt realized he didn't have a gift for Dorothy. No one else would have one either. He felt a sad lump in his stomach.(这时Matt意识到他没有礼物送给Dorothy。其他人也不会有。他感到胃里有一团悲哀的东西)”可知，Matt感到很难过，因为他担心Dorothy会感到被冷落。故选D。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段“While eating, Matt suddenly remembered that kids often included candy hearts with the new year gifts they exchanged. An idea popped into his head. He whispered it to the kids around him.(吃饭的时候，Matt突然想起孩子们经常在交换新年礼物时附上心形糖果。他突然想到一个主意。他把这个主意悄悄告诉了周围的孩子们)”可知，it指代上文提到的“收集心形糖果作为礼物”。故选B。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“While eating, Matt suddenly remembered that kids often included candy hearts with the new year gifts they exchanged. An idea popped into his head. He whispered it to the kids around him. Soon everyone at the table was nodding and whispering.(吃饭的时候，Matt突然想起孩子们经常在交换新年礼物时附上心形糖果。他突然想到一个主意。他悄悄地对周围的孩子们说。很快，桌子上的每个人都在点头窃窃私语)”可知，Matt为了不让Dorothy感到被忽视，他想出了一个主意，让所有的孩子都为Dorothy准备了一份礼物。由此推知，他非常体贴。故选B。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文内容，Matt为了让新来的同学Dorothy感到被欢迎，他和其他同学一起为她准备了一份新年礼物，这个故事主要是关于如何热情地欢迎新来的同学。由此可知，“A Hearty Welcome(热情的欢迎)”合适作本文最佳标题。故选A。 C Double rainbows are one thing, but a double aurora (极光)? They can happen, though some kinds are rare. One particular red-and-green aurora is especially confusing. Now, images taken by amateur astronomers may help reveal its secrets. Citizen scientists living in Canada and Finland used cameras to document an unusual combination of auroras in the night sky. Physicists have studied those images to learn what may have caused the unusual light show. Alan Dyer was outside his home in Strathmore, Canada, when the dancing Northern Lights caught his attention. He grabbed his camera and started filming. "I knew I had something interesting," says Dyer. At first glance, the double aurora looks like a floating slice of watermelon. The green aurora is well-understood. The fruity looking red st rip is more mysterious. Scientists have known about these red auroras for decades. But there's no agreement on how they form. One idea is that Earth's magnetic field can heat up certain areas of the atmosphere. That heat could knock particles (粒子) around, like in proton (质子) rain. Researchers had seen these two types of auroras occur together before. But it was always mysterious, says Toshi Nishimura, a space physicist at Boston University. After looking at satellite observations along with the images taken by Dyer and others, Nishimura and his team concluded how the two phenomena might be related. The key is the thin rays in the red aurora. They mark the paths of electrons falling through the Earth's magnetic field. That means electron rain appears to cause the red aurora, just as proton rain causes the green one. Both get powered by the solar wind. But the electrons carry less energy than the protons, so they make for a more reddish color. Electron rain might not be the only way to produce the stable red auroras, though. The results show that what's going on is more complicated than researchers had thought. The auroras Dyer saw could be danger zones for radio communication and GPS systems, says Nishimura. The citizen scientists who took the photos were a critical part of the new findings, Nishimura says. 8. Where is the text probably taken from? A. A news report on astronomic discoveries. B. A blog about sky phenomena. C. A review of aurora research. D. A brochure of aurora tours. 9. What can be inferred about red auroras? A. They are fully understood by scientists. B. They were first spotted by Alan Dyer. C. They are related to Earth's magnetic field. D. They are generated from proton rain. 10. What may affect the color of the aurora? A. The path it travels along. B. The energy particles carry. C. The wavelength of rays. D. The source of solar wind. 11. What does the author indicate by mentioning Alan Dyer's example? A. Photography drives scientific research. B. The double aurora is a threat to GPS system. C. Satellite observations lead to aurora discoveries. D. Citizen scientists help explain the double aurora. 【答案】8. A 9. C 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道，主要介绍了双重极光的现象，特别是红色和绿色极光的形成原因，以及公民科学家如何通过拍摄图片帮助科学家研究这一现象。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Double rainbows are one thing, but a double aurora（极光 )? They can happen, though some kinds are rare. One particular red-and-green aurora is especially confusing. Now, images taken by amateur astronomers may help reveal its secrets.”（ 双彩虹是一回事，但双极光呢？这种情况可能会发生，尽管有些类型很少见。一种特殊的红绿极光尤其令人困惑。现在，由业余天文学家拍摄的图像可能有助于揭示它的秘密。）主要介绍了双重极光的现象，特别是红色和绿色极光的形成原因，以及公民科学家如何通过拍摄图片帮助科学家研究这一现象。所以这是一篇关于天文发现的新闻报道。故选A项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“One idea is that Earth's magnetic field can heat up certain areas of the atmosphere.”（一种观点是地球的磁场可以加热大气的某些区域。）可推知，红色极光与地球的磁场有关。故选C。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“But the electrons carry less energy than the protons, so they make for a more reddish color.”（但是电子携带的能量比质子少，所以它们产生更红的颜色。）可知，粒子携带的能量影响极光的颜色。故选B。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“The citizen scientists who took the photos were a critical part of the new findings, Nishimura says.”（Nishimura说，拍摄这些照片的公民科学家是新发现的关键部分。）可推知，作者提到艾伦·戴尔的例子是想说明公民科学家通过拍摄图片帮助解释双重极光。故选D。 D Orienteering (定向越野) involves running, jogging or walking, and using a map and compass to move between places. It’s a great way to have fun outdoors with friends and family. The aim is to move between points, called controls, in a certain order in the quickest time. Events are usually held in parks, fields or forests but they can also happen in towns and cities and even school playgrounds. People can take part either as individuals or as a team. Beginners’ events will have easier controls to find and cover less distance — perhaps a mile or two. For experienced orienteers, the length of the course could be much longer and take in hills and rough ground. Orienteers are given a “control description sheet” to help them find each point. This sheet has details of features to look for, like paths and rivers, and a code that must match the code at each control. You will either mark your sheet at each control or check in with an electronic card. When you start orienteering, you will learn map-reading skills. A helpful tip is to keep your thumb on the spot that shows your location on the map. Keep it the right way round: the features in front of you on the ground should be in front of you on the map. Orienteering maps can have five or six colors. Black areas show human features, like buildings; brown shows the contour (轮廓) lines (height of the land); and blue shows water, such as lakes and rivers. White and green together show woodlands; yellow areas represent grass and open areas. On orienteering maps, a course consists of a triangle, circles, a double circle and sometimes connecting lines. The triangle is the start, the double circle is the finish, and all the circles in between are checkpoints. As you run between points by what you hope is the quickest route, you can take in the scenery around you and have a great time choosing your path and trying to finish in a fast time. 12. What can we learn about orienteering at the beginning of the text? A. Its route is random. B. Its result is distance-based. C. It groups orienteers by age. D. It integrates various skills. 13. Which aspect of orienteering does paragraph 3 mainly focus on? A. Tricks of saving time. B. The use of control description sheet. C. Methods of checking in. D. The importance of codes. 14. Why do orienteers keep their thumb on their location on the map? A. To track progress. B. To mark the finish point. C. To maintain direction. D. To highlight checkpoints. 15. What do the colors on an orienteering map represent? A. Geographical features. B. Difficulty levels. C. Routes for competition. D. Stages of the orienteering race. 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文一篇说明文。文章介绍了定向越野这种户外活动，该运动结合跑步、慢跑或步行，参与者使用地图和指南针在不同地点间移动。参与者使用检查点描述表和地图技巧导航，地图颜色和符号指示地形和路线，需以最短时间按顺序访问检查点，地点多样，可个人或团队参与。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“Orienteering (定向越野) involves running, jogging or walking, and using a map and compass to move between places. (定向越野涉及跑步、慢跑或步行，并使用地图和指南针在地方之间移动。)”可推知，定向越野融合了各种技能。故选D项。 13题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“Orienteers are given a “control description sheet” to help them find each point. This sheet has details of features to look for, like paths and rivers, and a code that must match the code at each control. You will either mark your sheet at each control or check in with an electronic card. (定向运动员得到一张“检查点描述表”来帮助他们找到每个点。此工作表包含要查找的特征的详细信息，例如路径和河流，以及必须与每个点标上的代码相匹配的代码。你可以在每个检查点标记你的表格，或者用电子卡签到)”可知，本段主要介绍了定向越野中检查点描述表的使用，包括其用处、内容以及使用方式。故选B项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“A helpful tip is to keep your thumb on the spot that shows your location on the map. Keep it the right way round: the features in front of you on the ground should be in front of you on the map. (一个有用的建议是把拇指放在地图上显示你所在位置的地方。保持正确的方向：地面上在你前面的特征应该在地图上也在你前面)”可知，定向运动员将拇指放在地图上的位置是为了保持方向。故选C项。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中“Orienteering maps can have five or six colors. Black areas show human features, like buildings; brown shows the contour (轮廓) lines (height of the land); and blue shows water, such as lakes and rivers. White and green together show woodlands; yellow areas represent grass and open areas. (定向越野地图可以有五到六种颜色。黑色区域表示人类特征，比如建筑物；棕色表示等高线(地面高度)；蓝色表示水，如湖泊和河流。白色和绿色一起表示林地；黄色区域代表草地和开放区域)”可知，定向越野地图上的颜色代表地理特征。故选A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。 If you’ve ever walked around the streets of a Chinese city and seen sticks of brightly colored fruit shining in the winter sun, chances are that you’ve been at a tanghulu stall. ____16____?

A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了在经济困难时期，作者一家决定出售房子，却面临处理两株疯长的冬青树的问题。在园艺师Daria的建议下，他们同意尝试将树砍至树干，看它们是否能重新生长。几周后，树干上竟长出了新叶，带来了喜悦，提醒作者一家要有耐心，怀抱治愈的希望。这些冬青树的苏醒象征着新的开始，让作者充满感激并期待未来。 【21题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：我们决定出售我们的房子。A. build建造；B. sell出售；C. make制作；D. repair修理。根据上文“Financial trouble had distanced us from the life that was.”可知，经济上的困难使作者一家远离了原来的生活，因此会决定出售房子。故选B。 【22题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：但首先，我们得处理两株疯长的冬青树，它们已经占据了房子的前面。A. priceless无价的；B. leafless无叶的；C. overgrown植物蔓生的；D. overvalued高估的。根据下文“We have never owned any green thing that grew well, except for those crazy hollies.”可知，这两株冬青树长得非常好，上面全是枝叶。故选C。 【23题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：消息并不好。A. important重要的；B. convincing令人信服的；C. fresh新鲜的；D. good好的。根据下文“20-plus years of neglect left us with only two ____4____: Let them be or tear them out.”可知，作者一家要么让这两株冬青树继续存在，要么把它们移除，因此不是好消息。故选D。 【24题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：20多年的忽视让我们只有两个选择：要么让它们存在，要么把它们移除。A. conditions条件；B. designs设计；C. choices选择；D. reasons原因。根据下文“Let them be or tear them out”可知，作者一家要么让这两株冬青树继续存在，要么把它们移除，只有这两种选择。故选C。 【25题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：我们厌恶为了更好的风景而切断所有的生命的想法。A. frightened使害怕；B. brightened使变得乐观；C. sickened使厌恶；D. softened使变软。根据下文“We have never owned any green thing that grew well, except for those crazy hollies.”可知，除了那些疯狂的冬青，作者一家从来没有拥有过任何生长良好的绿色植物，因此他们会厌恶移除树，切断树上所有的生命的想法。故选C。 【26题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：但我们还是安排了移除。A. removal移除；B. protection保护；C. planting种植；D. rescue救援。根据上文“We have never owned any green thing that grew well, except for those crazy hollies.”以及表示转折的“But”可知，虽然作者一家有些舍不得这两株茂盛的冬青树，但还是安排了移除。故选A。 【27题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：然而，在砍树前的两个星期里，这些树一直困扰着我。A. surprised使惊讶的；B. troubled困扰；C. changed改变；D. comforted安慰。根据下文“So I emailed one last landscaper. I pinned my hopes on that.”可知，作者给最后一个园艺师发了邮件，把希望寄托在那上面，由此推知，这两株冬青树困扰着他，他希望有替代性的方案。故选B。 【28题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：“树干太成熟了，”她补充说。A. rough粗糙的；B. straight直的；C. smooth光滑的；D. mature成熟的。根据上文“These can’t be trimmed (修剪).”可知，Daria认为无法修剪这两株冬青树，由此推知，这是因为树干太成熟，太粗壮。故选D。 【29题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：我什么也没说，但Daria看出了我们的怀疑。A. experience经验；B. doubt怀疑；C. emotion情感；D. opinion观点。根据上文“See if they’ll grow?

I was taking a summer class in Black-American literature on the campus of SUNY. Professor James walked into the classroom and announced that he had invited a special guest to class and he needed a volunteer to meet his guest in the hall of the administration building and ac company him here. To my amazement, my right hand shot up as though it had a mind of its own. I never volunteered for anything. I was shy and uncomfortable meeting new people. Realizing I was absolutely the wrong person for this job, I pulled my hand down quickly, but it was too late. “Thank you, David,” Professor James said. “You’d better leave now. Hell be arriving any minute.” I reluctantly got out of my seat and headed for the classroom door. When I reached it, I stopped. I said, “If I don’t know who this person is, how will I recognize him? I’d hate to bring back the wrong guy.” Professor James laughed. He pulled me aside and whispered a name in my ear. “Alex Haley,” he said. “Really?” I said. I gave a thumbs-up to the class and left the room. The hall was empty and Alex Haley was nowhere to be seen. My anxiety grew because I feared that I was about to embarrass myself in front of this famous gentleman by asking stupid questions, or worse, by falling unnaturally silent. As I paced back and forth across the polished floor, I realized why I instinctively (本能地) raised my hand to volunteer for this job. This man was what I wanted to be: a writer. He was living my dream. I could learn from him. But deep in my heart, I was worried about whether I had a gift. It was then that Mr. Haley with a briefcase entered the building. He was a man in his forties medium height, wearing a sports jacket over an open-collared dress shirt. After we introduced each other, I accompanied him to the classroom building. Across campus, I was struck by how approachable this man was. 注意： 1.续写词数应为 150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 My fear was replaced by curiosity and purpose. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ That was an unexpected answer. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】My fear was replaced by curiosity and purpose. I asked him how he discovered that he had a gift for writing since he had accomplished so much. “I didn’t. And I don’t.” He shook his head and smiled. “Writing is a craft. I learned to write through practice and sheer persistence.” Noticing my confused look, he added, “If you want to become a writer, don’t worry about whether you have some magical gift. Put in the work. Write every day, and don’t give up until you succeed.” That was an unexpected answer. I thanked him for his advice. After my conversation with Alex Haley, I no longer obsessed over whether I had the gift or talent to become a writer. Instead, I started writing every day. Within two years, I published three stories in magazines. I have been writing and publishing ever since. Had I not volunteered to meet this extraordinary man, I never would have received the benefit of his wise advice and the rewards that followed. 【解析】 【导语】文章以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者作为一个害羞内向的学生，在一次课堂上意外地举手成为志愿者，负责迎接一位特别的客人——著名作家Alex Haley。在迎接的过程中，作者表达了自己对成为作家的渴望，对能否拥有写作天赋的担忧，并描述了自己初见Alex Haley的情景。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容“我的恐惧被好奇心和目标所取代。”可知，第一段可描写作者询问Alex Haley是否有写作天赋，Alex Haley回答只需要努力并鼓励作者。 ②由第二段首句内容“这是一个出乎意料的回答，我感谢他的建议。”可知，第二段可描写作者听从建议，坚持写作，最终成功发表文章。 2.续写线索：询问写作是否需要天赋——被告知只需要坚持写作——听从建议——成功发表文章——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 发现：discover/find out 想要做某事：want to do sth./would like to do sth. 发表：publish/issue 情绪类 困惑的：confused/puzzled 担心：worry about/be concerned about 【点睛】[高分句型1] Haley, I no longer obsessed over whether I had the gift or talent to become a writer.（运用了whether引导宾语从句） [高分句型2] Had I not volunteered to meet this extraordinary man, I never would have received the benefit of his wise advice and the rewards that followed.（运用了虚拟语气，部分倒装，that引导定语从句） 听力答案：1-5 BACCB 6-10 BABAA 11-15CABBB 16-20 ACABC 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 乌鲁木齐地区2024年高三年级第三次质量监测 英语试卷（问卷） （卷面分值： 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、准考证号码填写清楚，将条形码准确粘贴在考生信息条形码粘贴区。 2.选择题必须使用2B铅笔填涂；非选择题必须使用0.5毫米黑色字迹的签字笔书写，字体工整、笔迹清楚。 3.请按照题号顺序在答题卡各题目的答题区域内作答，超出答题区域书写的答案无效；在草稿纸、试卷上答题无效。 4.作图可先使用铅笔画出，确定后必须用黑色字迹的签字笔描黑。 5.保持卡面清洁，不要折叠，不要弄破、弄皱，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?

He prepared gifts for everyone for the next day's party. When Matt got to school the next day, he saw a new girl in his classroom. She stood near Ms. Robins and looked around shyly. "This is Dorothy," said Ms. Robins. "Will someone volunteer to show her around today?" Matt raised his hand. He liked helping new kids feel welcome. "Thanks, Matt," Ms. Robins said. "Now let's get busy with our work so we're done in time for the party." That's when Matt realized he didn't have a gift for Dorothy. No one else would have one either. He felt a sad lump in his stomach. As he showed Dorothy around, he was careful not to mention the party. At lunchtime, he walked Dorothy to the lunchroom, still worried about what would happen at the party. Dorothy had brought a packed lunch, so Matt showed her where she should sit and went back to his usual seat. While eating, Matt suddenly remembered that kids often included candy hearts with the new year gifts they exchanged. An idea popped into his head. He whispered it to the kids around him. Soon everyone at the table was nodding and whispering. When they were back in the classroom after lunch, Matt told Ms. Robins about their plan. Ms. Robins agreed with a nodding smile. It was math time, so Matt invited Dorothy to study with him. He made sure Dorothy sat with her back to the room so she wouldn't notice her new classmates passing around an exquisite paper bag Ms. Robins prepared to collect their candy hearts. Before long, it was party time. They played games and then had cookies and juice. Finally, they passed out their gifts. The room buzzed with happy chatter. Matt saw the sad look on Dorothy's face as she glanced at other kids' desks overflowing with envelopes. "Here's your gift, Dorothy," Matt said, placing the paper bag in front of her. "It's from everyone." Dorothy stared at the beautiful bag full of "hearts". "We wanted you to have a special New Year's Day too," said Matt. "Thank you," Dorothy said, smiling at her new classmates. "It really is a special day!" 4. Why did Matt feel a sad lump in his stomach? A. He was guilty for forgetting about Dorothy. B. He was worried that Dorothy would be angry. C. He was afraid Dorothy wouldn't like the party. D. He was concerned that Dorothy would feel left out. 5. What does the underlined word "it" refer to in paragraph 3? A. Keeping the party a secret. B. Gathering candy hearts as a gift. C. Inviting Dorothy to study together. D. Including candy hearts in every gift. 6. Which of the following words best describes Matt? A. Innovative. B. Considerate. C. Modest. D. Generous. 7. What's the best title for the text? A. A Hearty Welcome B. A New Year Tradition C. The First Day of School D. The Reward of Kindness C Double rainbows are one thing but a double aurora (极光)? They can happen, though some kinds are rare. One particular red-and-green aurora is especially confusing. Now, images taken by amateur astronomers may help reveal its secrets. Citizen scientists living in Canada and Finland used cameras to document an unusual combination of auroras in the night sky. Physicists have studied those images to learn what may have caused the unusual light show. Alan Dyer was outside his home in Strathmore, Canada, when the dancing Northern Lights caught his attention. He grabbed his camera and started filming. "I knew I had something interesting," says Dyer. At first glance, the double aurora looks like a floating slice of watermelon. The green aurora is well-understood. The fruity looking red st rip is more mysterious. Scientists have known about these red auroras for decades. But there's no agreement on how they form. One idea is that Earth's magnetic field can heat up certain areas of the atmosphere. That heat could knock particles (粒子) around, like in proton (质子) rain. Researchers had seen these two types of auroras occur together before. But it was always mysterious, says Toshi Nishimura, a space physicist at Boston University. After looking at satellite observations along with the images taken by Dyer and others, Nishimura and his team concluded how the two phenomena might be related. The key is the thin rays in the red aurora. They mark the paths of electrons falling through the Earth's magnetic field. That means electron rain appears to cause the red aurora, just as proton rain causes the green one. Both get powered by the solar wind. But the electrons carry less energy than the protons, so they make for a more reddish color. Electron rain might not be the only way to produce the stable red auroras, though. The results show that what's going on is more complicated than researchers had thought. The auroras Dyer saw could be danger zones for radio communication and GPS systems, says Nishimura. The citizen scientists who took the photos were a critical part of the new findings, Nishimura says. 8. Where is the text probably taken from? A A news report on astronomic discoveries. B. A blog about sky phenomena. C. A review of aurora research. D. A brochure of aurora tours. 9. What can be inferred about red auroras? A. They are fully understood by scientists. B. They were first spotted by Alan Dyer. C. They are related to Earth's magnetic field. D. They are generated from proton rain. 10. What may affect the color of the aurora? A. The path it travels along. B. The energy particles carry. C. The wavelength of rays. D. The source of solar wind. 11. What does the author indicate by mentioning Alan Dyer's example? A. Photography drives scientific research. B. The double aurora is a threat to GPS system. C. Satellite observations lead to aurora discoveries. D. Citizen scientists help explain the double aurora. D Orienteering (定向越野) involves running, jogging or walking, and using a map and compass to move between places. It’s a great way to have fun outdoors with friends and family. The aim is to move between points, called controls, in a certain order in the quickest time. Events are usually held in parks, fields or forests but they can also happen in towns and cities and even school playgrounds. People can take part either as individuals or as a team. Beginners’ events will have easier controls to find and cover less distance — perhaps a mile or two. For experienced orienteers, the length of the course could be much longer and take in hills and rough ground. Orienteers are given a “control description sheet” to help them find each point. This sheet has details of features to look for, like paths and rivers, and a code that must match the code at each control. You will either mark your sheet at each control or check in with an electronic card. When you start orienteering, you will learn map-reading skills. A helpful tip is to keep your thumb on the spot that shows your location on the map. Keep it the right way round: the features in front of you on the ground should be in front of you on the map. Orienteering maps can have five or six colors. Black areas show human features, like buildings; brown shows the contour (轮廓) lines (height of the land); and blue shows water, such as lakes and rivers. White and green together show woodlands; yellow areas represent grass and open areas. On orienteering maps, a course consists of a triangle, circles, a double circle and sometimes connecting lines. The triangle is the start, the double circle is the finish, and all the circles in between are checkpoints. As you run between points by what you hope is the quickest route, you can take in the scenery around you and have a great time choosing your path and trying to finish in a fast time. 12. What can we learn about orienteering at the beginning of the text? A. Its route is random. B. Its result is distance-based. C. It groups orienteers by age. D. It integrates various skills. 13. Which aspect of orienteering does paragraph 3 mainly focus on? A. Tricks of saving time. B. The use of control description sheet. C. Methods of checking in. D. The importance of codes. 14. Why do orienteers keep their thumb on their location on the map? A. To track progress. B. To mark the finish point. C. To maintain direction. D. To highlight checkpoints. 15. What do the colors on an orienteering map represent? A. Geographical features. B. Difficulty levels. C. Routes for competition. D. Stages of the orienteering race. 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。 If you’ve ever walked around the streets of a Chinese city and seen sticks of brightly colored fruit shining in the winter sun, chances are that you’ve been at a tanghulu stall. ____16____?

I was taking a summer class in Black-American literature on the campus of SUNY. Professor James walked into the classroom and announced that he had invited a special guest to class and he needed a volunteer to meet his guest in the hall of the administration building and ac company him here. To my amazement, my right hand shot up as though it had a mind of its own. I never volunteered for anything. I was shy and uncomfortable meeting new people. Realizing I was absolutely the wrong person for this job, I pulled my hand down quickly, but it was too late. “Thank you, David,” Professor James said. “You’d better leave now. Hell be arriving any minute.” I reluctantly got out of my seat and headed for the classroom door. When I reached it, I stopped. I said, “If I don’t know who this person is, how will I recognize him? I’d hate to bring back the wrong guy.” Professor James laughed. He pulled me aside and whispered a name in my ear. “Alex Haley,” he said. “Really?” I said. I gave a thumbs-up to the class and left the room. The hall was empty and Alex Haley was nowhere to be seen. My anxiety grew because I feared that I was about to embarrass myself in front of this famous gentleman by asking stupid questions, or worse, by falling unnaturally silent. As I paced back and forth across the polished floor, I realized why I instinctively (本能地) raised my hand to volunteer for this job. This man was what I wanted to be: a writer. He was living my dream. I could learn from him. But deep in my heart, I was worried about whether I had a gift. It was then that Mr. Haley with a briefcase entered the building. He was a man in his forties, medium height, wearing a sports jacket over an open-collared dress shirt. After we introduced each other, I accompanied him to the classroom building. Across campus, I was struck by how approachable this man was. 注意： 1.续写词数应为 150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 My fear was replaced by curiosity and purpose. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ That was an unexpected answer. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力答案：1-5 BACCB 6-10 BABAA 11-15CABBB 16-20 ACABC 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
