B Any good recipe needs an ingredient list, a cooking method, and if it’s particularly successful, there will be a personal touch describing how the recipe was developed through repeated tests until it was just right. It is a balance of these elements in recipes that ensures good cookbooks are the most important part of any kitchen. Good communication is just like making a good dish. This is where The Art of Explanation: How to Communicate with Clarity and Confidence steps in. Written by journalist Ros Atkins, it is a recipe book for storytelling, made to be roughly looked through. The “ingredient list” is information required to communicate effectively. The methodology is given according to the different settings. In this book, Atkins presents a seven-step method for giving a great explanation, from getting the main information to giving information in an easy-to-understand way. Reviewing a book of this nature is a test of how well I have understood the information in this guide. The most important parts of the method include: gathering information effectively; communicating it clearly; and achieving the delivery. But, for me, it is not this method that makes this book interesting but the “personal touch” stories, which draw on Atkins’ life, that give this book its edge. I was most drawn to the practical examples in The Art of Explanation, because it offered a chance to know more about Atkins’ career, from starting out as a graduate to taking a new approach to explanation on a BBC’s program, Outside Source. As Atkins puts it himself, “Tell a good story, so people will pay attention to your every word.” Stories, and how they are told, are at the heart of journalism. It is no surprise that the stories told in the book are particularly attractive, such as how Atkins began his journalism career as a junior reporter in South Africa. These stories make The Art of Explanation worth reading, moving it from a textbook to something that works like a well-written cookbook. 4. Why does the author mention recipes in the first paragraph? A To explain what a good recipe should be like. B. To compare them to effective communication. C. To encourage readers to make dishes themselves. D. To stress the importance of the personal touch in a book. 5. What makes The Art of Explanation interesting? A. The ingredient list. B. The seven-step method. C. The personal stories of Atkins. D. The way to deliver the message. 6. What does the author think of the book? A. It should be read word for word. B. It is written in an easy-to-understand way. C. The method introduced in the book is boring. D. The way that it tells stories is quite worth learning. 7. In which section of a newspaper may this text appear? A. Education. B. Health. C. Entertainment. D. Science. C If I asked you what the most common form of plastic pollution is, what would you say? Plastic bottles? Straws? Bags? All good, but incorrect guesses. Cigarette butts are actually the most abundant form of plastic waste in the world, with about 4.5 trillion individual butts polluting our global environment. But wait, aren’t cigarette butts made of cotton or paper? In fact, cigarette butts consist mainly of plastic and while they may be small and tend to go unnoticed, actually they exist everywhere. Contrary to what many believe, cigarette butts are not harmless. They are made of cellulose acetate, a man-made plastic material and contain hundreds of poisonous chemicals. When cigarette filters (过滤), the plastic part of butts can take up to 10 years to completely degrade (分解), the chemicals they release can remain in the environment for many more years beyond the life of the cigarette butt itself. These remaining poisonous substances include arsenic (also used in rat poisoning), lead (a poison that can affect the brain development of children), and nicotine. When these chemicals are improperly thrown on the street corner, out of the car window or down a drain, they slowly pollute our natural water and soil systems, presenting a serious threat to people and the environment. Cigarette butts are by far the largest single type of litter by count. Since the 1980s, cigarette butts have consistently accounted for 30-40% of all items picked up in annual international coastal and urban cleanups. This further stresses the need for comprehensive approaches to not only managing waste, but also limiting tobacco use and mitigating its broader environmental impacts. Moreover, the new World Health Organization report states that tobacco farming contributes to nearly 5% of global deforestation, with 200,000 hectares of wood biomass (生物数量) lost per year. For five years, EARTHDAY ORG has been driving cleanups worldwide through The Great Global Cleanup. You can join us on this journey by signing up to either join or create your own cleanup event. You can encourage others to do their part as well by reminding them of the dangers of smoking and by advocating for more comprehensive waste management systems. 8. What is a common belief about cigarette butts? A. They are made of plastic. B. They don’t cause any harm. C. They are easy to be noticed. D. They hardly release chemicals. 9. What can be inferred from the text? A. It needs a decade for the plastic part in cigarette butts to completely break down. B. When thrown away, cigarette butts will simply pose a threat to the environment. C. Cigarette butts have consistently accounted for half of all items picked up in cleanups. D. The Great Global Cleanup has been driving cleanups nationwide for five years. 10. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “mitigating”? A. Reducing. B. Assessing. C. Monitoring. D. Understanding. 11 What is the best title of this text? A. A killer to human health B. A threat to the environment C. A “new” type of plastic pollution D. An introduction to plastic pollution D A robot created to be the world’s most expressive robot cheerfully smiles and introduces herself when meeting humans. Named Ameca, the robot is one of the most lifelike robots to date and can easily interact with people at Dubai’s Museum of the Future. She smiled, blinked and moved her shoulders and could be heard saying, “My name is Ameca,” before spelling out her name. “Have I won the spelling competition?” she joked. One of the visitors asked her if she was happy to be there. “I’m not happy,” she said. “I do not experience emotions, but I can look happy.” And at one point, she said, “Oh wait! What if I am real and you are not?” Ameca, designed by UK-based Engineered Arts, is the world’s most advanced human-shaped robot representing the forefront of human-robotics technology. Intended to test artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning, the robot has a range of facial expressions, including smiling and blinking. “That was our aim, to make the most expressive robot possible,” said Morgan Roe, director of Engineered Arts. “So what we do is first look at what a human can do and then work backward and think, ‘How can we make that mechanically?’ It’s not just making it look like a human; it’s making it move like a human. So we look at both appearance and dynamics to design the mechanics, and inside Ameca there are 17 motors.” Mr Roe explained that while there is an AI operating system, there is also a person who controls her speech and facial expressions. Humanity’s relationship with machines has developed in recent years, but AI robots won’t be joining the average family anytime soon. Ameca’s designers said it would likely be at least another twenty years before we would see such robots in homes. However, they may well start turning up in places like airports and hotels before too long. 12. How did Ameca show her expressiveness in the museum? A. By joking with visitors. B. By giving visitors directions. C. By playing spelling games with visitors. D. By performing exciting shows for visitors 13. Why is Ameca designed with rich facial expression? A. To attract more buyers. B. To test the performance of AI C. To help improve robots’ moods. D. To support users in language learning. 14. What do the designers expect from Ameca? A. She can sense human feelings B. She can record human speeches exactly C. She can function well without people’s control. D She can not only look but also behave like humans. 15. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. People’s worries about Ameca. B. Some popular places to apply Ameca. C. The possible development of Al robots. D. The special Al robots needed in homes. 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。 Cry Me a River A dear friend of mine spent most of his life near the Severn River where salt water mixes with fresh water. ___16___ So my friend considered it the most human river. To him, the river was a signature of sorrow accompanying the beauty of nature. Crying, too, is a contradiction. It can be a response to anger and frustration or to poetry too lovely for words. ___17___ Happy crying and sad crying are both a response to emotional extremes, which suggests that tears help bring us back to a calm state of mind. Some researchers argue that we need to reset emotionally when things are just too wonderful. Wild joy feels great, but it distracts us from the business of life. Likewise, negative emotion is important and even life-saving in a crisis like being separated from loved ones or being under threat. ___18___ But staying in this state is not helpful, so we seek to reduce stress and improve our mood, which crying can do quite effectively. ___19___ Weeping involuntarily at work, for example, can lead to embarrassment and discomfort. ___20___ In such a situation, they might still get the emotional release of crying by surrounding themselves with people who won’t think less of them for shedding a few tears. A. Crying is not a cure-all, of course. B It creates a burning desire to act with force. C. It has the precise salinity (盐度) of human tears. D. It can accompany the greatest sadness or the deepest joy. E. It can bring balance, peace, and, just maybe, even a touch of humor. F. This is especially true for men who are ashamed of crying and afraid of burdening others. G. Although many species call out to signal a need for help, only humans weep for emotional reasons. 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, 从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 I loved being home with my little babies, but I felt the weight of the world on my shoulders.

They were inseparable, sharing every joy and sorrow, and always ready to start up new adventures together. One day, they heard stories of a hidden treasure buried deep in the forbidden forest. Motivated, they decided to start up a search to find the treasure and make their fortune. Equipped with only a map, a compass, and their courage, Jack and Tom entered into the dense and dangerous forest. The trees towered overhead, blocking out the sun, and the undergrowth was thick and messy. They had to crawl and climb their way through, facing all sorts of barriers and creatures. As they dug deeper into the forest, they encountered a fierce wolf that bared its teeth at them. They managed to escape by climbing a tall tree, but not before the wolf had torn their bag-pack to pieces, leaving them with only the essentials. Determined and fearless, they pushed their way onward, following the clues on the map. They crossed swamps (湿地) and scaled cliffs, despite hunger and thirst. Their feet were bleeding and their clothes torn, but their spirits were high and their determination unshakable. Finally, after days of hardship and danger, they hit on a clearing in the forest. In the center stood an ancient stone altar (祭坛), and beside it, a chest (箱子) that glowed with a mysterious light. They knew they had found the treasure. 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。 But as they approached the chest, they heard a deep sound from the earth beneath their feet. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Finally, the two friends realized that the true treasure of their journey was not the gold and jewels. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力1-5 CACBA 6-10 ABBAC 11-15 BABCC 16-20 ABBAC 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024届芜湖市高中毕业班教学质量统测 英语试题卷 本试题卷共8页, 满分150分, 考试用时120分钟 注意事项: 1. 答卷前, 考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 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框涂黑。如需改动, 用橡皮擦干净后, 再选涂其他答案标号框。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, 将答题卡交回。 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?

It is a balance of these elements in recipes that ensures good cookbooks are the most important part of any kitchen. Good communication is just like making a good dish. This is where The Art of Explanation: How to Communicate with Clarity and Confidence steps in. Written by journalist Ros Atkins, it is a recipe book for storytelling, made to be roughly looked through. The “ingredient list” is information required to communicate effectively. The methodology is given according to the different settings. In this book, Atkins presents a seven-step method for giving a great explanation, from getting the main information to giving information in an easy-to-understand way. Reviewing a book of this nature is a test of how well I have understood the information in this guide. The most important parts of the method include: gathering information effectively; communicating it clearly; and achieving the delivery. But, for me, it is not this method that makes this book interesting but the “personal touch” stories, which draw on Atkins’ life, that give this book its edge. I was most drawn to the practical examples in The Art of Explanation, because it offered a chance to know more about Atkins’ career, from starting out as a graduate to taking a new approach to explanation on a BBC’s program, Outside Source. As Atkins puts it himself, “Tell a good story, so people will pay attention to your every word.” Stories, and how they are told, are at the heart of journalism. It is no surprise that the stories told in the book are particularly attractive, such as how Atkins began his journalism career as a junior reporter in South Africa. These stories make The Art of Explanation worth reading, moving it from a textbook to something that works like a well-written cookbook. 4. Why does the author mention recipes in the first paragraph? A. To explain what a good recipe should be like. B. To compare them to effective communication. C. To encourage readers to make dishes themselves. D. To stress the importance of the personal touch in a book. 5. What makes The Art of Explanation interesting? A. The ingredient list. B. The seven-step method. C. The personal stories of Atkins. D. The way to deliver the message. 6. What does the author think of the book? A. It should be read word for word. B. It is written in an easy-to-understand way. C. The method introduced in the book is boring. D. The way that it tells stories is quite worth learning. 7. In which section of a newspaper may this text appear? A. Education. B. Health. C. Entertainment. D. Science. 【答案】4. B 5. C 6. D 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。主要对一本名为《解释的艺术：如何清晰自信地沟通》的书籍进行了评述，介绍了书籍的内容和特点，并表达了作者对于该书的看法和评价。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Any good recipe needs an ingredient list, a cooking method, and if it’s particularly successful, there will be a personal touch describing how the recipe was developed through repeated tests until it was just right. It is a balance of these elements in recipes that ensures good cookbooks are the most important part of any kitchen.(任何好的食谱都需要一个配料表，一个烹饪方法，如果它特别成功，就会有一个个人的风格，描述如何通过反复的测试来开发食谱，直到它是正确的。这是食谱中这些元素的平衡，确保好的食谱是任何厨房中最重要的部分)”以及第二段“Good communication is just like making a good dish. This is where The Art of Explanation: How to Communicate with Clarity and Confidence steps in.(良好的沟通就像做一道菜。这就是《解释的艺术：如何清晰而自信地沟通》的用武之地)”可知，作者在第一段提到食谱是为了将它们与有效的沟通进行比较。故选B项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“But, for me, it is not this method that makes this book interesting but the “personal touch” stories, which draw on Atkins’ life, that give this book its edge.(但是，对我来说，并不是这种方法让这本书变得有趣，而是那些取材于阿特金斯生活的“个人接触”故事，给这本书带来了优势)”可知，阿特金斯的个人故事让《解释的艺术》如此有趣。故选C项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“As Atkins puts it himself, “Tell a good story, so people will pay attention to your every word.” Stories, and how they are told, are at the heart of journalism. It is no surprise that the stories told in the book are particularly attractive, such as how Atkins began his journalism career as a junior reporter in South Africa. These stories make The Art of Explanation worth reading, moving it from a textbook to something that works like a well-written cookbook.(正如阿特金斯自己所说，“讲一个好故事，这样人们就会注意到你说的每一个字。”故事以及故事的讲述方式是新闻的核心。毫不奇怪，书中讲述的故事特别吸引人，比如阿特金斯是如何从南非的一名初级记者开始他的新闻生涯的。这些故事让《解释的艺术》值得一读，让它从教科书变成了一本写得很好的烹饪书)”可知，作者认为这本书讲故事的方式非常值得学习。故选D项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Good communication is just like making a good dish. This is where The Art of Explanation: How to Communicate with Clarity and Confidence steps in. Written by journalist Ros Atkins, it is a recipe book for storytelling, made to be roughly looked through. The “ingredient list” is information required to communicate effectively. The methodology is given according to the different settings.(良好的沟通就像做一道菜。这就是《解释的艺术：如何清晰而自信地沟通》的用武之地。这本书由记者罗斯·阿特金斯(Ros Atkins)撰写，是一本讲故事的食谱，可以粗略地看一遍。“成分表”是有效沟通所需的信息。根据不同的设置给出了方法)”以及纵观全文可知，本文主要对一本名为《解释的艺术：如何清晰自信地沟通》的书籍进行了评述，介绍了书籍的内容和特点，所以应是来自教育板块。故选A项。 C If I asked you what the most common form of plastic pollution is, what would you say? Plastic bottles? Straws? Bags? All good, but incorrect guesses. Cigarette butts are actually the most abundant form of plastic waste in the world, with about 4.5 trillion individual butts polluting our global environment. But wait, aren’t cigarette butts made of cotton or paper? In fact, cigarette butts consist mainly of plastic and while they may be small and tend to go unnoticed, actually they exist everywhere. Contrary to what many believe, cigarette butts are not harmless. They are made of cellulose acetate, a man-made plastic material and contain hundreds of poisonous chemicals. When cigarette filters (过滤), the plastic part of butts can take up to 10 years to completely degrade (分解), the chemicals they release can remain in the environment for many more years beyond the life of the cigarette butt itself. These remaining poisonous substances include arsenic (also used in rat poisoning), lead (a poison that can affect the brain development of children), and nicotine. When these chemicals are improperly thrown on the street corner, out of the car window or down a drain, they slowly pollute our natural water and soil systems, presenting a serious threat to people and the environment. Cigarette butts are by far the largest single type of litter by count. Since the 1980s, cigarette butts have consistently accounted for 30-40% of all items picked up in annual international coastal and urban cleanups. This further stresses the need for comprehensive approaches to not only managing waste, but also limiting tobacco use and mitigating its broader environmental impacts. Moreover, the new World Health Organization report states that tobacco farming contributes to nearly 5% of global deforestation, with 200,000 hectares of wood biomass (生物数量) lost per year. For five years, EARTHDAY ORG has been driving cleanups worldwide through The Great Global Cleanup. You can join us on this journey by signing up to either join or create your own cleanup event. You can encourage others to do their part as well by reminding them of the dangers of smoking and by advocating for more comprehensive waste management systems. 8. What is a common belief about cigarette butts? A. They are made of plastic. B. They don’t cause any harm. C. They are easy to be noticed. D. They hardly release chemicals. 9. What can be inferred from the text? A. It needs a decade for the plastic part in cigarette butts to completely break down. B. When thrown away, cigarette butts will simply pose a threat to the environment. C. Cigarette butts have consistently accounted for half of all items picked up in cleanups. D. The Great Global Cleanup has been driving cleanups nationwide for five years. 10. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “mitigating”? A. Reducing. B. Assessing. C. Monitoring. D. Understanding. 11. What is the best title of this text? A. A killer to human health B. A threat to the environment C. A “new” type of plastic pollution D. An introduction to plastic pollution 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. A 11. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一种新的塑料垃圾——烟蒂。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Contrary to what many believe, cigarette butts are not harmless.(与许多人的看法相反，烟蒂并不是无害的。)”可知，人们普遍认为烟蒂是无害的，但实际上它们是有害的。因此，选项B“它们不会造成任何伤害”是人们的普遍看法。故选B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“When cigarette filters (过滤), the plastic part of butts can take up to 10 years to completely degrade (分解), the chemicals they release can remain in the environment for many more years beyond the life of the cigarette butt itself.(当香烟过滤嘴，烟头的塑料部分可能需要长达10年的时间才能完全降解，它们释放的化学物质会在烟头本身的寿命之外留在环境中很多年。)”可推知，烟蒂中的塑料部分需要长达10年的时间才能完全分解。故选A。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据上文“Cigarette butts are by far the largest single type of litter by count. Since the 1980s, cigarette butts have consistently accounted for 30-40% of all items picked up in annual international coastal and urban cleanups.(烟蒂是迄今为止最大的一种垃圾。自20世纪80年代以来，烟头一直占每年国际沿海和城市清理中捡到的所有物品的30-40%。)”和下文“Moreover, the new World Health Organization report states that tobacco farming contributes to nearly 5% of global deforestation, with 200,000 hectares of wood biomass (生物数量) lost per year.(此外，世界卫生组织的新报告指出，烟草种植占全球森林砍伐的近5%，每年损失20万公顷的木材生物量。)”可知，这进一步强调需要采取综合办法，不仅管理废物，而且限制烟草使用并减轻其更广泛的环境影响。mitigating意为“减少”。故选A。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“If I asked you what the most common form of plastic pollution is, what would you say? Plastic bottles? Straws? Bags? All good, but incorrect guesses. Cigarette butts are actually the most abundant form of plastic waste in the world, with about 4.5 trillion individual butts polluting our global environment.(如果我问你最常见塑料污染是什么，你会怎么说？塑料瓶吗？吸管吗？袋吗？所有的猜测都是正确的，但都是错误的。烟头实际上是世界上最丰富的塑料垃圾，大约有4.5万亿个烟头污染着我们的全球环境。)”可知，文章主要介绍了一种新的塑料垃圾——烟蒂。故选C。 D A robot created to be the world’s most expressive robot cheerfully smiles and introduces herself when meeting humans. Named Ameca, the robot is one of the most lifelike robots to date and can easily interact with people at Dubai’s Museum of the Future. She smiled, blinked and moved her shoulders and could be heard saying, “My name is Ameca,” before spelling out her name. “Have I won the spelling competition?” she joked. One of the visitors asked her if she was happy to be there. “I’m not happy,” she said. “I do not experience emotions, but I can look happy.” And at one point, she said, “Oh wait! What if I am real and you are not?” Ameca, designed by UK-based Engineered Arts, is the world’s most advanced human-shaped robot representing the forefront of human-robotics technology. Intended to test artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning, the robot has a range of facial expressions, including smiling and blinking. “That was our aim, to make the most expressive robot possible,” said Morgan Roe, director of Engineered Arts. “So what we do is first look at what a human can do and then work backward and think, ‘How can we make that mechanically?’ It’s not just making it look like a human; it’s making it move like a human. So we look at both appearance and dynamics to design the mechanics, and inside Ameca there are 17 motors.” Mr Roe explained that while there is an AI operating system, there is also a person who controls her speech and facial expressions. Humanity’s relationship with machines has developed in recent years, but AI robots won’t be joining the average family anytime soon. Ameca’s designers said it would likely be at least another twenty years before we would see such robots in homes. However, they may well start turning up in places like airports and hotels before too long. 12. How did Ameca show her expressiveness in the museum? A. By joking with visitors. B. By giving visitors directions. C. By playing spelling games with visitors. D. By performing exciting shows for visitors 13. Why is Ameca designed with rich facial expression? A. To attract more buyers. B. To test the performance of AI C. To help improve robots’ moods. D. To support users in language learning. 14. What do the designers expect from Ameca? A. She can sense human feelings B. She can record human speeches exactly C. She can function well without people’s control. D. She can not only look but also behave like humans. 15. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. People’s worries about Ameca. B. Some popular places to apply Ameca. C. The possible development of Al robots. D. The special Al robots needed in homes. 【答案】12. A 13. B 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了英国Engineered Arts公司设计并创造的最具表现力的人形机器人Ameca。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据首段中的“She smiled, blinked and moved her shoulders and could be heard saying, “My name is Ameca,” before spelling out her name. “Have I won the spelling competition?” she joked.(这款名为Ameca的机器人是迄今为止最逼真的机器人之一，在迪拜的未来博物馆里，它可以轻松地与人们互动。她微笑着，眨着眼睛，扭动着肩膀，可以听到她说：“我的名字是Ameca，”然后拼出她的名字。“我赢了拼写比赛吗？”她开玩笑说。)”以及第二段中的“One of the visitors asked her if she was happy to be there. “I’m not happy,” she said. “I do not experience emotions, but I can look happy.” And at one point, she said, “Oh wait! What if I am real and you are not?”(其中一位访客问她在这里是否开心。“我不开心，”她说。“我没有情绪，但我可以看起来很开心。”有一次，她说，“哦，等等！如果我是真实的，而你不是呢？”)”可知，这款名为Ameca的机器人可以轻松地与人互动，还经常跟人们开玩笑，由此可知，Ameca在博物馆里是通过与来访者开玩笑表现出她的表现力的。故选A项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Intended to test artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning, the robot has a range of facial expressions, including smiling and blinking.(为了测试人工智能和机器学习，这个机器人有一系列的面部表情，包括微笑和眨眼。)”可知，为了测试人工智能和机器学习，该机器人被设置了一些列的面部表情，由此可知，Ameca被设计成丰富的面部表情旨在测试人工智能和机器学习。故选B项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“So what we do is first look at what a human can do and then work backward and think, ‘How can we make that mechanically?’ It’s not just making it look like a human; it’s making it move like a human. So we look at both appearance and dynamics to design the mechanics, and inside Ameca there are 17 motors.(所以我们首先要做的是看看人类能做什么，然后再回过头来思考，‘我们如何才能机械地做到这一点?“这不仅仅是让它看起来像个人类；让它像人一样移动。所以我们从外观和动力两方面来设计机械，在美国有17个马达。)”可知，工程艺术总监Morgan Roe说，他们是先观察人类能做什么，然后再思考如何让机器人不仅是看起来像人，而且要让它像人一样的移动，所以他们是从外观和动力两方面设计机械，由此可知，设计师们希望Ameca不仅看起来像人类，而且行为也像人类。故选D项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据尾段中的“Ameca’s designers said it would likely be at least another twenty years before we would see such robots in homes. However, they may well start turning up in places like airports and hotels before too long. (Ameca的设计师们表示，我们可能还需要至少20年的时间才能在家中看到这样的机器人。然而，他们很可能很快就会出现在机场和酒店等地方。)”可知，像Ameca这样的机器人至少需要20年才能进入家庭，但是，很快会出现在机场和酒店等地方，由此可知，尾段主要介绍的是人工智能机器人的可能的发展情况。故选C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。 Cry Me a River A dear friend of mine spent most of his life near the Severn River where salt water mixes with fresh water. ___16___ So my friend considered it the most human river. To him, the river was a signature of sorrow accompanying the beauty of nature. Crying, too, is a contradiction. It can be a response to anger and frustration or to poetry too lovely for words. ___17___ Happy crying and sad crying are both a response to emotional extremes, which suggests that tears help bring us back to a calm state of mind. Some researchers argue that we need to reset emotionally when things are just too wonderful. Wild joy feels great, but it distracts us from the business of life. Likewise, negative emotion is important and even life-saving in a crisis like being separated from loved ones or being under threat. ___18___ But staying in this state is not helpful, so we seek to reduce stress and improve our mood, which crying can do quite effectively. ___19___ Weeping involuntarily at work, for example, can lead to embarrassment and discomfort. ___20___ In such a situation, they might still get the emotional release of crying by surrounding themselves with people who won’t think less of them for shedding a few tears. A. Crying is not a cure-all, of course. B. It creates a burning desire to act with force. C. It has the precise salinity (盐度) of human tears. D. It can accompany the greatest sadness or the deepest joy. E. It can bring balance, peace, and, just maybe, even a touch of humor. F. This is especially true for men who are ashamed of crying and afraid of burdening others. G. Although many species call out to signal a need for help, only humans weep for emotional reasons. 【答案】16. C 17. D 18. B 19. A 20. F 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，介绍了哭泣包含的内容和作用。 【16题详解】 根据上文“A dear friend of mine spent most of his life near the Severn River where salt water mixes with fresh water(我的一个亲爱的朋友一生的大部分时间都在塞文河附近度过，那里的盐水与淡水混合)”，可知表示“它有和人类的眼泪一样的含盐量”的选项C可以承接上文，介绍塞文河水的含盐量，故选C。 【17题详解】 根据上文“Crying, too, is a contradiction. It can be a response to anger and frustration or to poetry too lovely for words. (哭泣也是一种矛盾。它可以是对愤怒和沮丧回应，也可以是对无法用语言表达的诗歌的回应) ”，可知表示“它可以伴随最大的悲伤或最深的喜悦”的选项D可以承接上文，介绍哭泣的含义，故选D。 【18题详解】 根据上文“Likewise, negative emotion is important and even life-saving in a crisis like being separated from loved ones or being under threat.(同样，在与亲人分离或受到威胁等危机中，负面情绪也很重要，甚至可以挽救生命) ”，可知表示“它产生了强烈的武力行动欲望”的选项B可以承接上文，介绍负面情绪的作用，故选B。 【19题详解】 根据上文“But staying in this state is not helpful, so we seek to reduce stress and improve our mood, which crying can do quite effectively. (但保持这种状态是没有帮助的，所以我们寻求减轻压力和改善情绪，而哭泣可以非常有效地做到这一点) ”以及下文“Weeping involuntarily at work, for example, can lead to embarrassment and discomfort. (例如，在工作中不由自主地哭泣会导致尴尬和不适) ”，可知表示“当然，哭并不是万能的”的选项A可以和上文构成转折关系，后文举例说明哭并不是万能的，故选A。 【20题详解】 根据下文“In such a situation, they might still get the emotional release of crying by surrounding themselves with people who won’t think less of them for shedding a few tears. (在这种情况下，他们可能仍然会通过身边的人来获得哭泣的情绪释放，这些人不会因为他们流了几滴眼泪而轻视他们) ”，可知表示“对于那些以哭泣为耻、害怕给别人增加负担的男人来说尤其如此”的选项F符合语境，介绍以哭泣为耻、害怕给别人增加负担的男人释放情绪的做法，故选F。 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, 从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 I loved being home with my little babies, but I felt the weight of the world on my shoulders.

They were inseparable, sharing every joy and sorrow, and always ready to start up new adventures together. One day, they heard stories of a hidden treasure buried deep in the forbidden forest. Motivated, they decided to start up a search to find the treasure and make their fortune. Equipped with only a map, a compass, and their courage, Jack and Tom entered into the dense and dangerous forest. The trees towered overhead, blocking out the sun, and the undergrowth was thick and messy. They had to crawl and climb their way through, facing all sorts of barriers and creatures. As they dug deeper into the forest, they encountered a fierce wolf that bared its teeth at them. They managed to escape by climbing a tall tree, but not before the wolf had torn their bag-pack to pieces, leaving them with only the essentials. Determined and fearless, they pushed their way onward, following the clues on the map. They crossed swamps (湿地) and scaled cliffs, despite hunger and thirst. Their feet were bleeding and their clothes torn, but their spirits were high and their determination unshakable. Finally, after days of hardship and danger, they hit on a clearing in the forest. In the center stood an ancient stone altar (祭坛), and beside it, a chest (箱子) that glowed with a mysterious light. They knew they had found the treasure. 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。 But as they approached the chest, they heard a deep sound from the earth beneath their feet. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Finally, the two friends realized that the true treasure of their journey was not the gold and jewels. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】续写范文 But as they approached the chest, they heard a deep sound from the earth beneath their feet. The ground began to shake, and the trees around them collapsed, making them realize that they had triggered some ancient trap. Immediately, they leaped aside to avoid falling pieces of stone. As the ground settled, they saw that the chest had opened, revealing a glittering pile of gold coins and precious jewels. But before they could reach for the treasure, countless venomous snakes crawled out of the chest, hissing and striking at them. Fortunately, with quick responses and even quicker thinking, Jack and Tom managed to escape from the fatal chest. Finally, the two friends realized that the true treasure of their journey was not the gold and jewels. However, the treasure was the challenges they had overcome and the bond they had built through their shared adventure. Hugging each other tightly, they were grateful for the friendship that had witnessed them through so much. With newfound wisdom and a deeper understanding of each other, they set out on their way back to the village, leaving the forbidden forest and its hidden treasures behind them. On the way home, the sun shining down on them, Jack and Tom realized that the most precious thing they had found was not the mythical treasure hidden in the forest, but the invaluable friendship between them. 【解析】 【导语】文章以宝藏为线索展开。讲述了两个好朋友Jack和Tom为了寻找传说中宝藏而共同冒险的故事。他们面对重重困难和危险，最终找到了宝藏的位置，但却因为触发了一个古老的陷阱而未能如愿以偿地取得宝藏。在这个过程中，他们不仅展现了勇气、智慧和坚韧不拔的精神，还更加深刻地体会到了友谊的珍贵。最终，他们意识到真正的宝藏并非那些金银财宝，而是他们通过共同经历所建立起的深厚友谊和成长经历。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容“但是当他们走近箱子的时候，他们听到从脚下的大地传来了深沉的声音。”可知，第一段可描写他们触发古老的陷阱后发生的事情。 ②由第二段首句内容“最后，这两个朋友意识到他们旅行的真正宝藏并不是黄金和珠宝。”可知，第二段可描写共同经历危险之后，二人的感悟。 2.续写线索：触发陷阱——发现宝藏——遇到无数毒蛇——惊险逃生——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 意识到：realize/be aware of 成功做某事：manage to do sth./be succeed in doing sth. 克服：overcome/get over 情绪类 感激的：grateful/appreciative 幸运地：fortunately/luckily 【点睛】[高分句型1] As the ground settled, they saw that the chest had opened, revealing a glittering pile of gold coins and precious jewels.（运用了as引导时间状语从句，that引导宾语从句，现在分词作状语） [高分句型2] Hugging each other tightly, they were grateful for the friendship that had witnessed them through so much.（运用了现在分词作状语，that引导定语从句） 听力1-5 CACBA 6-10 ABBAC 11-15 BABCC 16-20 ABBAC 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
