And then I started using very, very high temperatures to produce some pretty unique effects. W: And this was quite some time ago? M: Oh, I’ve been playing about with this since 1970. I started with quite small bowls, you know, small home-used objects, then I wanted to try to make larger designs in 1981, but still something that might find its way into a home, rather than a museum. Then in 1995, I got onto the idea of them being used outdoors, so they got bigger and bigger. And other people like them too. W: They certainly do. Well, thank you very much for your coming here today, Frank. M: You’re welcome. 听下面一段独白，回答以下小题。【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 17. How did the speaker know about the job at the TV station? A. From a post. B. From a friend. C. From a shop. 18. Which program is the speaker working on? A. Bargain Hunt. B. Home Cooking. C. Country File. 19. What does the speaker find most difficult? A. Learning new tricks. B. Dealing with the music C. Working at night. 20 What kind of person is the speaker? A. Positive. B. Humorous. C. Polite. 【答案】17. A 18. C 19. B 20. A 【解析】 【原文】W: As a little boy, I dreamt of getting into filming. I worked in a shop just after graduation. Then a friend got me a temporary job for a company doing films. One day, I saw a post for a person to be a runner working for a TV program. I thought that was the perfect opportunity. I was delighted when I got it. Now I’ve been a director for about twelve years. I’ve done a number of different programs, like Bargain Hunt and Home Cooking, but at the moment I’m working on a nature program called Country File. The hardest part of the job is getting the music together. When you find a piece of music that goes with the film then you create the right atmosphere and it totally brings the film alive. There’s so much variety in my job and I’m always learning about new things. Last year, I did a writing course. It really made sense to me. Not long ago, I did a film about some rare birds and we had to use new technology to film at night. I prefer to learn from experience by trying something out. I try new things to discover my potential, and try to adjust myself to the social environment and improve myself step by step. 第二部分 阅读理解 (共两节，满分50分) 第一节 (共15小题： 每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳答案。 A Already a volunteer?

It is part of a project that he hopes will be a “game changer” in art education by making state school students realize art is not off limits. Art education in state schools is under threat, with its cost on per pupil in England falling by nearly 10% in real terms since 2009 and many institutions having to cut back on art lessons including fine art. A study by the Fabian Society in 2019 found that 68% of primary school teachers in England felt there was less art education then than in 2010, with under half believing the quality had decreased. Bowling’s son, Ben Bowling, helped organize the project. Proceeds from the sale of 100 signed prints will fund “art package”, which include canvas (油画布), paint and six-lesson curriculum that could give about 30,000 primary school children an “alternative” introduction to art. He said, “Enabling children of all ages, irrespective of their family background or their means, to have access to art education and material is the goal.” The idea for the project came when Frank Bowling began to receive invitations from London schools whose pupils were using his work as inspiration. Together with his son, he started visiting schools and doing presentations to six- and seven-year-olds and realized there were things they needed. Ben noted, “Art schools in England have become the preserve of the elite (精英).” Frank Bowling said, “Artists will always do what they have to do and find ways of doing. Art finds a way, but young children need schools to be a place of artistic possibilities. It’s not just about making art; it’s about making sure they feel inspired to create, no matter what.” 24. What is threatening art education in state schools? A. The shortage of art schoolteachers. B. The increase in the cost of art lessons. C. The instability of art learning opportunities. D. The reduction in investment in art education. 25. What is the aim of Bowling’s project? A. To advocate abstract paintings. B. To raise fund for state schools. C. To make art accessible to more children. D. To change the way of art education. 26. What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs? A. Elites think highly of art education. B. Art is a stimulation to children’s creativity. C. Great changes will take place in art schools. D. Artists have found a way for artistic possibilities. 27. Which of the following best describes Frank Bowling? A. Generous and caring. B. Devoted and modest. C. Sympathetic and patient. D. Outgoing and influential. 【答案】24. D 25. C 26. B 27. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了英国最著名的抽象画家之一Frank Bowling正在出售自己的作品，以资助英国100所小学的艺术用品的事迹。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Art education in state schools is under threat, with its cost on per pupil in England falling by nearly 10% in real terms since 2009 and many institutions having to cut back on art lessons including fine art. (公立学校的艺术教育正面临威胁，自2009年以来，英国每个学生的实际成本下降了近10%，许多机构不得不削减艺术课程，包括美术课程。)”可知，是对艺术教育投资的减少威胁着公立学校的艺术教育。故选D项。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“It is part of a project that he hopes will be a ‘game changer’ in art education by making state school students realize art is not off limits.(这是一个项目的一部分，他希望通过让公立学校的学生意识到艺术不是禁区，从而成为艺术教育的‘游戏规则改变者’。)”和第三段中“Enabling children of all ages, irrespective of their family background or their means, to have access to art education and material is the goal. (让所有年龄段的孩子，无论他们的家庭背景或经济状况如何，都有机会接受艺术教育和学习艺术材料是我们的目标。)”可知，Bowling项目的目的是让更多的孩子接触到艺术。故选C项。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“The idea for the project came when Frank Bowling began to receive invitations from London schools whose pupils were using his work as inspiration. (当Frank Bowling开始收到伦敦学校的邀请时，这个项目的想法就来了，这些学校的学生都以他的作品为灵感。)”和最后一段中“It’s not just about making art; it’s about making sure they feel inspired to create, no matter what.(这不仅仅是关于艺术创作；这是为了确保他们无论如何都能感受到创作的灵感。)”可知，艺术能激发孩子们的创造力。故选B项。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“Frank Bowling, one of Britain’s most celebrated abstract painters, is selling prints of his work to help fund art supplies for 100 primary schools in the UK.(英国最著名的抽象画家之一Frank Bowling正在出售自己的作品，以资助英国100所小学的艺术用品。)”和最后一段中“Artists will always do what they have to do and find ways of doing. Art finds a way, but young children need schools to be a place of artistic possibilities. (艺术家总是会做他们必须做的事情，并找到做事情的方法。艺术是有出路的，但孩子们需要学校成为一个充满艺术可能性的地方。)”可知，Frank Bowling即慷慨又关心孩子们。故选A项。 C Ecologist Carl Safina’s latest book focuses on the chimpanzees, the sperm whale and the scarlet macaw. In Becoming Wild: How Animal Cultures Raise Families, Create Beauty, and Achieve Peace, he writes about culture, the structures of societies, and what makes us who and what we are. Safina’s three animals are selected for their variety. Safina warns against thinking about chimpanzees in purely human terms. “We see in them partially formed premiumans caught between being and becoming, a forerunner of humankind,” Safina writes, noting, “Chimpanzees are not our ancestors. Chimps are our contemporaries. They are complete chimpanzees, not half-baked humans.” The main reason for this warning is also one of the central attempts of Becoming Wild: criticize the idea of human exceptionalism. For centuries, scientists and philosophers have fixed that exceptionalism on one thing after another: Humans are the only animals that have language, humans are the only animals that make tools, etc. These have all boiled down to the same idea that only humans have culture. Safina’s book shows that nothing could be further from the truth. Human beings have only recently begun to recognize the animal cultures around them. “Humans use language so much that it has swamped our own ability to recognize nonverbal signals that we ourselves continually display and respond to,” Safina writes. “The world is full of layers and waves of communication.” Becoming Wild describes communication of all kinds. Sperm whales include each other in sonic webs full of vocabulary and even regional dialects. They find meaning in family and group identity by living in stable groups where individuals stay together for decades. Only in sperm whales and humans do group identities extend so far beyond relatives. Like whales, young scarlet macaws closely follow cultural practices. They spend years learning tool-fashioning and developing unique calls learned from their parents. They also learn dialects to enhance group identity. Chimpanzees mirror all the interpersonal complexity of humans. A huge part of chimpanzee life is learning how to make peace through forgiveness. 28. What does Safina think about chimpanzees? A. They are human beings’ ancestors. B. They are randomly chosen for study. C. They are species independent of humans. D. They are the symbol of being and becoming. 29. What is an attempt of Becoming Wild? A. To prove an assumption. B. To challenge a belief. C. To present a fact. D. To evaluate a statement. 30. What does the underlined word “swamped” in paragraph 5 mean? A. Indicated. B. Measured. C. Tested. D. Weakened. 31. What is mainly presented in Becoming Wild? A. The existence of animal culture. B. The uniqueness of human beings. C. The complexity of human society. D. The importance of animal communication. 【答案】28. C 29. B 30. D 31. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。文章讲述了生态学家卡尔·萨菲纳的最新著作《野化：动物文化中，它们如何扶持家庭、创造美、赢得和平》，探讨了文化、社会结构以及是什么塑造了我们和动物的特性，并警示不要单纯以人类视角看待黑猩猩，指出人类以外的动物也拥有丰富的文化，有自己的沟通方式和群体认同，挑战了只有人类才有文化的观念。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段““We see in them partially formed premiumans caught between being and becoming, a forerunner of humankind,” Safina writes, noting, “Chimpanzees are not our ancestors. Chimps are our contemporaries. They are complete chimpanzees, not half-baked humans.” (萨芬娜写道:“我们在它们身上看到了处于存在和发展之间的部分形成的优等动物，它们是人类的先驱。黑猩猩不是我们的祖先。黑猩猩是我们的同代人。它们是完整的黑猩猩，而不是不完善的人类。”)”可知萨芬娜认为黑猩猩是独立于人类的物种。故选C。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The main reason for this warning is also one of the central attempts of Becoming Wild: criticize the idea of human exceptionalism.( 这个警告的主要原因也是《Becoming Wild》的核心尝试之一：批判人类特殊性的观念。)”可知，Becoming Wild尝试挑战一种信仰。故选B。 【30题详解】 词句猜测题。根据画线句“Humans use language so much that it has swamped our own ability to recognize nonverbal signals that we ourselves continually display and respond to,” Safina writes. “The world is full of layers and waves of communication.” (萨芬娜写道:“人类如此频繁地使用语言，以至于它已经swamp了我们自己识别非语言信号的能力，而我们自己却在不断地展示和回应这些非语言信号。这个世界充满了交流的层次和浪潮。”)”可知，此处指人类频繁使用语言，减弱了我们识别非语言信号的能力，我们自己却在无意识不断地展示和回应这些非语言信号，因此画线词意思是“淹没，减弱”。结合选项，故选D。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“The main reason for this warning is also one of the central attempts of Becoming Wild: criticize the idea of human exceptionalism. For centuries, scientists and philosophers have fixed that exceptionalism on one thing after another: Humans are the only animals that have language, humans are the only animals that make tools, etc. These have all boiled down to the same idea that only humans have culture. (发出这一警告的主要原因，也是《变得野性:批评人类例外论的观点》的核心尝试之一。几个世纪以来，科学家和哲学家们把这种例外论固定在一件又一件事情上:人类是唯一拥有语言的动物，人类是唯一会制造工具的动物，等等。这些都归结为同一个观点:只有人类才有文化。) ”以及第四段“Safina’s book shows that nothing could be further from the truth. Human beings have only recently begun to recognize the animal cultures around them. (萨芬娜的书表明，事实远非如此。人类直到最近才开始认识到他们周围的动物文化。) ”可知Becoming Wild主要表现了动物文化的存在。故选A。 D A small study published Wednesday documents significantly restored hearing in five of six kids treated in China. “Hearing loss is hard to recover. That’s why we were always trying to develop a therapy (疗法),” said Zheng-Yi Chen, a senior author of the study. Globally, 34 million children have deafness or hearing loss, and genes are responsible for up to 60% of cases. All the children in the experiments have a condition that accounts for 2% to 8% of inherited (遗传的) deafness. It’s caused by mutations (变异) in a gene responsible for an inner ear protein called otoferlin, which helps hair cells transmit sound to the brain. The therapy of Chen’s team delivers a functional copy of that gene to the inner ear during a surgery. It caused no major side effects. They observed the children for about six months and captured patients’ progress in videos. One shows a little girl 13 weeks after treatment repeating father, mother, grandmother, sister and “I love you.” They don’t know why the treatment didn’t work in one of them. But the five others, who previously had complete deafness, can now hear a regular conversation and talk with others. Prior results from other researches have been just as positive. The Philadelphia hospital reported that their patient, Aissam Dam, is now able to hear his father’s voice and cars on the road. Dr. John Germiller, who led the research in Philadelphia said, “His hearing is improved from a state of complete deafness with no sound at all to the level of mild hearing loss.” Columbia University’s Dr. Lawrence Lustig said, “Although the children in these studies don’t wind up with perfect hearing, even a mild hearing loss recovery in these kids is pretty astonishing.” Still, he added, “Many questions remain, such as how long the therapies will last and whether hearing will continue to improve in the kids.” 32. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about? A. The result of Chen’s therapy. B. The impact of gene mutations. C. The trouble of curing hearing loss. D. The analysis of children’s deafness. 33. What do most participants in the two researches have in common? A. They showed positive response to the therapy. B. Their power of speech was partially regained. C. Their improvements were recorded by videos. D. They had mild hearing loss after the treatment. 34. What is Dr. Lawrence Lustig’s attitude toward the therapy? A. Dismissive. B. Objective. C. Doubtful. D. Unclear. 35. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Gene Therapy: A Hope for the Deaf B. Deaf Children: A Concern of Society C. Chen’s Research: A Breakthrough in Surgery D. Inherited Deafness: A Challenge for Treatment 【答案】32. D 33. A 34. B 35. A 【解析】 【导语】本文为说明文。这篇短文主要报道了中国一项小型研究，其中五个孩子在接受治疗后听力显著恢复。这些儿童患有由基因突变导致的遗传性耳聋，研究团队通过手术向内耳输送了功能正常的基因副本，治疗后孩子们能进行正常对话。尽管仍有许多问题待解，如治疗效果的持久性等，但这项成果和其他研究一样，显示出恢复听力损失的积极前景。 【32题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“Globally, 34 million children have deafness or hearing loss, and genes are responsible for up to 60% of cases. (全球有3400万儿童患有耳聋或听力损失，高达60%的病例是由基因引起的。) ”可知，第二段主要是对儿童耳聋情况的分析。故选D。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“One shows a little girl 13 weeks after treatment repeating father, mother, grandmother, sister and “I love you.” They don’t know why the treatment didn’t work in one of them. But the five others, who previously had complete deafness, can now hear a regular conversation and talk with others. (其中一个视频显示，一个小女孩在治疗13周后重复着父亲、母亲、祖母、姐姐和“我爱你”。他们不知道为什么治疗对其中一人无效。但其他五个人以前完全失聪，现在可以听到定期的对话并与他人交谈。) ”及第五段“Prior results from other researches have been just as positive.(先前其他研究的结果也同样积极。)”可知，这两项研究的大多数参与者的共同点是他们对治疗有积极反应。故选A。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Columbia University’s Dr. Lawrence Lustig said, “Although the children in these studies don’t wind up with perfect hearing, even a mild hearing loss recovery in these kids is pretty astonishing.” Still, he added, “Many questions remain, such as how long the therapies will last and whether hearing will continue to improve in the kids.”(哥伦比亚大学的Lawrence Lustig博士说：“尽管这些研究中的孩子们最终并没有获得完美的听力，但这些孩子即使是轻微的听力损失恢复也相当惊人。”不过，他补充道，“还有很多问题，比如治疗能持续多久，孩子们的听力是否会继续改善。”)” 可知，Lawrence Lustig对这个疗法的态度是客观的。故选B。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文和第四段“The therapy of Chen’s team delivers a functional copy of that gene to the inner ear during a surgery. It caused no major side effects. (陈的团队的治疗方法在手术中将该基因的功能拷贝传递到内耳。它没有造成重大副作用。)”可知，文章主要介绍了通过基因治疗患有由基因突变导致的遗传性耳聋的儿童。A项“基因治疗：聋人的希望”是最合适的标题。故选A。 第二节 (共5小题; 每小题2.5分， 满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The round-up fundraising strategy was first introduced about 15 years ago. Why have round up for charity campaigns proven so successful? Katie Kelting, an associate professor of marketing at Saint Louis University, suggests that there’s some powerful psychology at work. In 2018, Kelting and her colleagues enlisted the St. Louis Zoo in a field study. Instead of asking people for the usual $1 donation for a wild animal conservation effort, the zoo temporarily tried the round-up approach. ____36____ As Kelting explains, a lot of it has to do with the “pain” of parting with our hard-earned cash. The perceived pain is less in the consumer’s mind when that round-up request is presented. ____37____Humans, for instance, appear to have a fairly strong preference for round numbers, or figures ending with a zero. A 2013 study noted that at restaurants, many people prefer to leave tips that bring the final bill to a round number. “___38___ People are better at and intuitively(直觉地) prefer to deal with round numbers,” Kelting says. Arguably more important is that at cashier register charitable requests can change an ordinary purchase into a moral dilemma. It becomes an opportunity to signal to others that we care. In the case of the round-up request, it becomes something of a moral test.____39____ Kelting says that customers might also change their behavior and perceptions in public and private settings.____40____However, the same decision in front of a cashier—especially one who adds a verbal(口头的) request for the donation—is something different. A. It’s like an effort-reduction strategy. B. There are likely other factors in play. C. In a private setting, it is easier to decline. D. During the experiment fundraising jumped by 21%. E. The round-up fundraising strategy has really taken off recently. F. It’s such a low-cost ask that saying no starts to make us feel guilty. G Customers may become overwhelmed with the round-up fundraising. 【答案】36. D 37. B 38. A 39. F 40. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。短文介绍了聚众融资策略成功的原因。 【36题详解】 根据上文“Instead of asking people for the usual $1 donation for a wild animal conservation effort, the zoo temporarily tried the round-up approach.”（动物园没有像通常那样要求人们为野生动物保护工作捐赠1美元，而是暂时尝试了这种聚众融资方法。）可知，选项承接上文说明集中方法带来的结果。故D选项“在实验期间，募集资金增长了21%”切题。故选D项。 【37题详解】 根据下文“Humans, for instance, appear to have a fairly strong preference for round numbers, or figures ending with a zero.”（例如，人类似乎相当偏爱整数，或以零结尾的数字。）可知，下文在解释其它的因素的具体内容。故B选项“可能还有其他因素在起作用”切题，引起下文且话题一致。故选B项。 【38题详解】 根据上文“A 2013 study noted that at restaurants, many people prefer to leave tips that bring the final bill to a round number.”（ 2013年的一项研究指出，在餐馆里，许多人更喜欢给小费，让最后的账单接近整数）以及下文“People are better at and intuitively(直觉地) prefer to deal with round numbers,” Kelting says.”（人们更擅长并且本能地更喜欢处理整数，”Kelting说）可知，选项承接上下文进一步解释了这种做法。故A选项“这就像一种减少努力的策略”切题。故选A项。 【39题详解】 根据上文“In the case of the round-up request, it becomes something of a moral test.”（ 就聚众融资要求而言，它变成了某种道德考验。）可知，选项承接上文，说明某种道德考验会对人们内心产生什么样的影响。故F选项“这是一个低成本的要求，拒绝会让我们感到内疚”切题。故选F项。 【40题详解】 根据上文“Kelting says that customers might also change their behavior and perceptions in public and private settings.”（Kelting说，消费者也可能会改变他们在公共和私人场合的行为和观念）以及下文“However, the same decision in front of a cashier—especially one who adds a verbal(口头的) request for the donation—is something different.”（然而，在收银员面前做出同样的决定——尤其是在口头上要求捐款的收银员面前——却有所不同。）可知，选项说的是在私人场合，人们的观念和行为是什么样的，且与下文公共场合形成鲜明的对比。故C选项“在私人场合，更容易拒绝”切题。故选C项。 第三部分 语言知识运用 (共两节，满分30分) 第一节 (共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Forty-odd years ago, I sat in my first-grade classroom.

Sky-blue tubes stretched from the trunks of the maples, sending sap (树液) into a huge tank. I liked visiting the farm on spring breaks... before I knew how badly I could mess things up. During lunch Mimi asked, “Why so depressed, Jude?” They were really acting as if nothing bad happened during my last visit. For a second, my eyes caught Mimi’s. Could I ask her how much money their neighbor lost? Was Mr. Jackson still upset? “I’m fine,” I answered. “Just missing computer camp this week. That’s…something I’m good at.” Mimi nodded. “Ahh, that sounds disappointing.” After lunch, I was on my own while Gran and Mimi worked in the sugarhouse. No way was I going there. The sugarhouse was next to Mr. Jackson’s rose beds, which was destroyed by the goats I carelessly let loose last year. Suddenly Mimi opened the sugarhouse door. “Jude! Come quick, please. We need you to drop defoamer (消泡剂) into the sap, or it will boil over.” “They need me?” I guessed I would just go for a minute. When I walked through the doorway, a burst of sweet maple hugged me. Mimi passed me a small plastic bottle. Quickly, I added drops to each pan before any sap boiled over. The sap was coming in good! I had to make sure the sap kept flowing in while I got the fire burning. Then, out of nowhere, there was Mr. Jackson! Opening the sugarhouse door. “I need help,” he yelled. “Maise is birthing, and the lamb needs a strong pull.” That was when he saw me. “He’s probably been waiting for this moment since last summer.” I got frightened. But instead, Mr. Jackson said, “Great! Jude is here. Both of you come. Jude can stay here and watch the boil.” Before they left, Mimi reminded me, “Jude, you could make it. Just boil the sap to syrup (糖浆) for us to draw it off!” Could I? 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: Suddenly, I was alone in the sugarhouse. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: “You are capable!” She nodded cheerfully, “Want to go meet the new baby lamb?” ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Suddenly, I was alone in the sugarhouse. The fire crackled and the sweet smell of maple filled the air. I stared at the bubbling pans, feeling a mix of nervousness and excitement. I had never been left alone to watch over the boiling sap before. But Mimi trusted me, and I had to prove her right. Carefully, I adjusted the fire, making sure it was just right to keep the sap boiling steadily. Then, I checked each pan, adding more defoamer if needed. Time seemed to slow down as I focused on my task. I was determined to not let anything go wrong. “You are capable!” She nodded cheerfully, “Want to go meet the new lamb?” Mimi’s words broke through my concentration. She and Mr. Jackson had returned, and in their arms was a tiny, wet bundle of fur. I nodded eagerly, my curiosity overcoming my nervousness. The lamb was so tiny and fragile, its eyes still closed. But as I watched, it began to stir and make soft noises. Mr. Jackson smiled proudly. “She’s strong, just like you, Jude.” I felt a sense of accomplishment wash over me. Even though I had made mistakes in the past, I had proved that I could be responsible and help out. And now, I had a new friend to watch grow on the farm. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。叙述了Jude在祖父母农场的一段经历。Jude因过去犯下的错误感到沮丧，但被祖父母给予的任务——帮忙制枫糖浆——Mr. Jackson因为接生小羊需要祖父母的帮助，Jude意外地赋予了重新证明自己的机会。在这一过程中，他不仅学会了责任与面对，还意外获得了邻居Mr. Jackson的信任，从而逐步找回自信并期待得到原谅的过程。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段句首内容“突然，糖厂里只有我一个人。”可知，第一段可以描写Jude独自留在糖厂照看枫糖浆，描写Jude的心理变化和动作上的小心翼翼。 ②由第二段句首内容““你很能干!”她高兴地点点头，“想去见见刚出生的小羊羔吗?””可知，第二段可以描写大家回来给予Jude肯定，并邀请Jude看小羊，以及Jude的心理变化。 2.续写线索：独自照看枫糖浆—紧张兴奋—采取正确行动—得到表扬—看到小羊—感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①盯着看： stare at/ gaze at ②看管：watch over/keep an eye on ③集中注意力：focus on/concentrate on ④回来：return/come back 情绪类 ①紧张：nervousness/anxiety/tension ②自豪地微笑：smile proudly/beam with pride 【点睛】【高分句型1】Carefully, I adjusted the fire, making sure it was just right to keep the sap boiling steadily.( 运用了现在分词作状语和省略了引导词that的宾语从句) 【高分句型2】Time seemed to slow down as I focused on my task.( 运用了as引导的时间状语从句) 【高分句型3】 I nodded eagerly, my curiosity overcoming my nervousness.  (运用了独立主格结构) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2023-2024学年第二学期浙江省县域教研联盟高三年级模拟考试 英语 2024年5月 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涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上，写在本试卷上无效。 3.考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 听力 (共两节，满分30分) 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。 1. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 How will the man go to the Holiday Inn?

B Frank Bowling, one of Britain’s most celebrated abstract painters, is selling prints of his work to help fund art supplies for 100 primary schools in the UK. It is part of a project that he hopes will be a “game changer” in art education by making state school students realize art is not off limits. Art education in state schools is under threat, with its cost on per pupil in England falling by nearly 10% in real terms since 2009 and many institutions having to cut back on art lessons including fine art. A study by the Fabian Society in 2019 found that 68% of primary school teachers in England felt there was less art education then than in 2010, with under half believing the quality had decreased. Bowling’s son, Ben Bowling, helped organize the project. Proceeds from the sale of 100 signed prints will fund “art package”, which include canvas (油画布), paint and six-lesson curriculum that could give about 30,000 primary school children an “alternative” introduction to art. He said, “Enabling children of all ages, irrespective of their family background or their means, to have access to art education and material is the goal.” The idea for the project came when Frank Bowling began to receive invitations from London schools whose pupils were using his work as inspiration. Together with his son, he started visiting schools and doing presentations to six- and seven-year-olds and realized there were things they needed. Ben noted, “Art schools in England have become the preserve of the elite (精英).” Frank Bowling said, “Artists will always do what they have to do and find ways of doing. Art finds a way, but young children need schools to be a place of artistic possibilities. It’s not just about making art; it’s about making sure they feel inspired to create, no matter what.” 24. What is threatening art education in state schools? A. The shortage of art schoolteachers. B. The increase in the cost of art lessons. C. The instability of art learning opportunities. D. The reduction in investment in art education. 25. What is the aim of Bowling’s project? A. To advocate abstract paintings. B. To raise fund for state schools. C. To make art accessible to more children. D. To change the way of art education. 26. What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs? A. Elites think highly of art education. B. Art is a stimulation to children’s creativity. C. Great changes will take place in art schools. D. Artists have found a way for artistic possibilities. 27 Which of the following best describes Frank Bowling? A. Generous and caring. B. Devoted and modest. C. Sympathetic and patient. D. Outgoing and influential. C Ecologist Carl Safina’s latest book focuses on the chimpanzees, the sperm whale and the scarlet macaw. In Becoming Wild: How Animal Cultures Raise Families, Create Beauty, and Achieve Peace, he writes about culture, the structures of societies, and what makes us who and what we are. Safina’s three animals are selected for their variety. Safina warns against thinking about chimpanzees in purely human terms. “We see in them partially formed premiumans caught between being and becoming, a forerunner of humankind,” Safina writes, noting, “Chimpanzees are not our ancestors. Chimps are our contemporaries. They are complete chimpanzees, not half-baked humans.” The main reason for this warning is also one of the central attempts of Becoming Wild: criticize the idea of human exceptionalism. For centuries, scientists and philosophers have fixed that exceptionalism on one thing after another: Humans are the only animals that have language, humans are the only animals that make tools, etc. These have all boiled down to the same idea that only humans have culture. Safina’s book shows that nothing could be further from the truth. Human beings have only recently begun to recognize the animal cultures around them. “Humans use language so much that it has swamped our own ability to recognize nonverbal signals that we ourselves continually display and respond to,” Safina writes. “The world is full of layers and waves of communication.” Becoming Wild describes communication of all kinds. Sperm whales include each other in sonic webs full of vocabulary and even regional dialects. They find meaning in family and group identity by living in stable groups where individuals stay together for decades. Only in sperm whales and humans do group identities extend so far beyond relatives. Like whales, young scarlet macaws closely follow cultural practices. They spend years learning tool-fashioning and developing unique calls learned from their parents. They also learn dialects to enhance group identity. Chimpanzees mirror all the interpersonal complexity of humans. A huge part of chimpanzee life is learning how to make peace through forgiveness. 28. What does Safina think about chimpanzees? A. They are human beings’ ancestors. B. They are randomly chosen for study. C. They are species independent of humans. D. They are the symbol of being and becoming. 29. What is an attempt of Becoming Wild? A. To prove an assumption. B. To challenge a belief. C. To present a fact. D. To evaluate a statement. 30. What does the underlined word “swamped” in paragraph 5 mean? A. Indicated. B. Measured. C. Tested. D. Weakened. 31. What is mainly presented in Becoming Wild? A. The existence of animal culture. B. The uniqueness of human beings. C. The complexity of human society. D. The importance of animal communication. D A small study published Wednesday documents significantly restored hearing in five of six kids treated in China. “Hearing loss is hard to recover. That’s why we were always trying to develop a therapy (疗法),” said Zheng-Yi Chen, a senior author of the study. Globally, 34 million children have deafness or hearing loss, and genes are responsible for up to 60% of cases. All the children in the experiments have a condition that accounts for 2% to 8% of inherited (遗传的) deafness. It’s caused by mutations (变异) in a gene responsible for an inner ear protein called otoferlin, which helps hair cells transmit sound to the brain. The therapy of Chen’s team delivers a functional copy of that gene to the inner ear during a surgery. It caused no major side effects. They observed the children for about six months and captured patients’ progress in videos. One shows a little girl 13 weeks after treatment repeating father, mother, grandmother, sister and “I love you.” They don’t know why the treatment didn’t work in one of them. But the five others, who previously had complete deafness, can now hear a regular conversation and talk with others. Prior results from other researches have been just as positive. The Philadelphia hospital reported that their patient, Aissam Dam, is now able to hear his father’s voice and cars on the road. Dr. John Germiller, who led the research in Philadelphia said, “His hearing is improved from a state of complete deafness with no sound at all to the level of mild hearing loss.” Columbia University’s Dr. Lawrence Lustig said, “Although the children in these studies don’t wind up with perfect hearing, even a mild hearing loss recovery in these kids is pretty astonishing.” Still, he added, “Many questions remain, such as how long the therapies will last and whether hearing will continue to improve in the kids.” 32. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about? A. The result of Chen’s therapy. B. The impact of gene mutations. C. The trouble of curing hearing loss. D. The analysis of children’s deafness. 33. What do most participants in the two researches have in common? A. They showed positive response to the therapy. B. Their power of speech was partially regained. C. Their improvements were recorded by videos. D. They had mild hearing loss after the treatment. 34. What is Dr. Lawrence Lustig’s attitude toward the therapy? A. Dismissive. B. Objective. C. Doubtful. D. Unclear. 35. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Gene Therapy: A Hope for the Deaf B. Deaf Children: A Concern of Society C. Chen’s Research: A Breakthrough in Surgery D. Inherited Deafness: A Challenge for Treatment 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。 The round-up fundraising strategy was first introduced about 15 years ago. Why have round up for charity campaigns proven so successful? Katie Kelting, an associate professor of marketing at Saint Louis University, suggests that there’s some powerful psychology at work. In 2018, Kelting and her colleagues enlisted the St. Louis Zoo in a field study. Instead of asking people for the usual $1 donation for a wild animal conservation effort, the zoo temporarily tried the round-up approach. ____36____ As Kelting explains, a lot of it has to do with the “pain” of parting with our hard-earned cash. The perceived pain is less in the consumer’s mind when that round-up request is presented. ____37____Humans, for instance, appear to have a fairly strong preference for round numbers, or figures ending with a zero. A 2013 study noted that at restaurants, many people prefer to leave tips that bring the final bill to a round number. “___38___ People are better at and intuitively(直觉地) prefer to deal with round numbers,” Kelting says. Arguably more important is that at cashier register charitable requests can change an ordinary purchase into a moral dilemma. It becomes an opportunity to signal to others that we care. In the case of the round-up request, it becomes something of a moral test.____39____ Kelting says that customers might also change their behavior and perceptions in public and private settings.____40____However, the same decision in front of a cashier—especially one who adds a verbal(口头的) request for the donation—is something different. A. It’s like an effort-reduction strategy. B. There are likely other factors in play. C. In a private setting, it is easier to decline. D. During the experiment fundraising jumped by 21%. E. The round-up fundraising strategy has really taken off recently. F. It’s such a low-cost ask that saying no starts to make us feel guilty. G. Customers may become overwhelmed with the round-up fundraising. 第三部分 语言知识运用 (共两节，满分30分) 第一节 (共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Forty-odd years ago, I sat in my first-grade classroom.

Sky-blue tubes stretched from the trunks of the maples, sending sap (树液) into a huge tank. I liked visiting the farm on spring breaks... before I knew how badly I could mess things up. During lunch Mimi asked, “Why so depressed, Jude?” They were really acting as if nothing bad happened during my last visit. For a second, my eyes caught Mimi’s. Could I ask her how much money their neighbor lost? Was Mr. Jackson still upset? “I’m fine,” I answered. “Just missing computer camp this week. That’s…something I’m good at.” Mimi nodded. “Ahh, that sounds disappointing.” After lunch, I was on my own while Gran and Mimi worked in the sugarhouse. No way was I going there. The sugarhouse was next to Mr. Jackson’s rose beds, which was destroyed by the goats I carelessly let loose last year. Suddenly Mimi opened the sugarhouse door. “Jude! Come quick, please. We need you to drop defoamer (消泡剂) into the sap, or it will boil over.” “They need me?” I guessed I would just go for a minute. When I walked through the doorway, a burst of sweet maple hugged me. Mimi passed me a small plastic bottle. Quickly, I added drops to each pan before any sap boiled over. The sap was coming in good! I had to make sure the sap kept flowing in while I got the fire burning. Then, out of nowhere, there was Mr. Jackson! Opening the sugarhouse door. “I need help,” he yelled. “Maise is birthing, and the lamb needs a strong pull.” That was when he saw me. “He’s probably been waiting for this moment since last summer.” I got frightened. But instead, Mr. Jackson said, “Great! Jude is here. Both of you come. Jude can stay here and watch the boil.” Before they left, Mimi reminded me, “Jude, you could make it. Just boil the sap to syrup (糖浆) for us to draw it off!” Could I? 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: Suddenly, I was alone in the sugarhouse. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: “You are capable!” She nodded cheerfully, “Want to go meet the new baby lamb?” ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
