Zander notices that walls on many floors contain mysterious symbols and takes them down in his notebook. Will the 11-year-old boy be able to solve the puzzle and secure the object before Darkbloom does? Packed with suspense, fascination, and a family drama, this mystery may remind you of a cross between Escape from Mr. Lemoncello’s Library and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

But she longed to work on more odd designs that would stand out. Then she met Pollyanna Hope, a young amputee (被截肢者). “She wanted something a little different on her leg: pictures of a cartoon she loved, Peppa Pig,” said Sophie, who is now based in London. So she designed a unique leg covered in tattoo-like images of Peppa and other pigs riding a bicycle and eating ice cream. Working with Hope made Sophie realize there was a potential market for limbs. Since then, Sophie founded the Alternative Limb Project (ALP) to make artistic limbs. Her work includes an arm wrapped in sculpted snakes and a leg that looks like porcelain (瓷器) covered in a painted flowery vine. She makes about six limbs per year, always including clients’ ideas so that they receive a personal piece they can celebrate rather than hide. Of course, a fancy-looking limb won't suit everyone. For Sophie, the basis is that each limb must satisfy a combination of comfort, beauty and functionality, and pushing too hard in one direction can weaken other areas. But for amputees who appreciate novelty, Sophie has some amazing ideas. “I’d really like to make a candy-dispenser leg with colorful candies inside it” she says. “Or a cuckoo-clock leg with a wooden bird that pops out every hour.” Her goal is to fashion a striking limb. “It’ll transform the limbs from an elephant in the room into a conversation piece.” 24. Why did Pollyanna Hope come to Sophie? A. She hoped to have a tailored limb. B. She intended to design a cartoon figure. C. She longed to expand the market for limbs. D. She expected to sell Sophie some odd ideas. 25. According to paragraph 3, ALP aims to ______. A. boost users’ confidence B. sharpen users’ creativity C. improve Sophie’s sculpture skills D. extend Sophie’s art business 26. What is the basis for Sophie's works? A. The novelty of the pattern tops the list. B. The balance of multi-needs comes first. C. Fashion is the best policy. D. Functionality is the key. 27. What can be inferred from the underlined sentence in the last paragraph? A. Sophie resolves to lead the fashion of limbs. B. Sophie plans to further transform artistic limbs. C. Amputees will feel at ease to talk about limbs. D. Amputees will have easy access to artistic limbs. 【答案】24. A 25. A 26. B 27. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Sophie为截肢者设计独特假肢的经历和想法，展示了她的设计理念和对截肢者需求的关注。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段““She wanted something a little different on her leg: pictures of a cartoon she loved, Peppa Pig,” said Sophie, who is now based in London. So she designed a unique leg covered in tattoo-like images of Peppa and other pigs riding a bicycle and eating ice cream. (“她想在腿上画点不一样的东西：她喜欢的动画片小猪佩奇的照片，”现在住在伦敦的Sophie说。因此，她设计了一条独特的腿，上面有纹身图案，比如佩奇和其他猪骑自行车、吃冰淇淋。)”可知，Pollyanna Hope来找Sophie的原因是希望有一个定制的假肢。故选A。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Since then, Sophie founded the Alternative Limb Project (ALP) to make artistic limbs. Her work includes an arm wrapped in sculpted snakes and a leg that looks like porcelain (瓷器) covered in a painted flowery vine. She makes about six limbs per year, always including clients’ ideas so that they receive a personal piece they can celebrate rather than hide.(从那时起，Sophie创立了“ALP”，制作艺术肢体。她的作品包括一条包裹着雕刻蛇的手臂和一条看起来像瓷器的腿，上面覆盖着彩绘的花藤。她每年制作大约六只假肢，总是包括客户的想法，这样他们就可以得到一件可以庆祝而不是隐藏的个人作品。)”可知，Sophie创立“ALP”是为了让客户有一件可以庆祝而不是隐藏的假肢，也就是为了提升用户的自信心。故选A。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“For Sophie, the basis is that each limb must satisfy a combination of comfort, beauty and functionality, and pushing too hard in one direction can weaken other areas. But for amputees who appreciate novelty, Sophie has some amazing ideas.(对Sophie来说，基础是每个肢体都必须满足舒适、美观和功能的结合，在一个方向上用力过猛会削弱其他领域。但对于喜欢新奇事物的截肢者来说，Sophie有一些惊人的想法。)”可知，对Sophie来说，作品的基础是每个肢体都必须满足舒适、美观和功能的结合。故选B。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。在英文中“an elephant in the room”比喻一些非常显而易见的，可是却一直被忽略的棘手问题。由此可知，这句话的意思指的是“将假肢的事变成日常话题”，也就是说Sophie希望截肢者能够轻松地谈论假肢。故选C。 C What if our bodies had a new way — other than our eardrums — to hear the world around us? That’s what neuroscientist David Eagleman wondered five years ago. Then he looked at the body for answers and saw a huge sound jack (插孔). “We have this huge input channel called our skin,” he says, “and we aren’t using it.” So Eagleman, along with Scott Novich, his student at Baylor College of Medicine, created the Versatile Extra-Sensory Transducer, or VEST. The VEST is worn like it sounds. Through 32 tiny motors, it translates sound waves into vibrations (振动) on your back. First, a computer or smartphone picks up sounds from your surroundings and breaks down the sound sample into a set of specific frequencies. Each frequency band in the set sets off one of 32 motors in the VEST. With time and practice, your brain learns to unconsciously interpret the series of vibrations as sound — and individual sounds as words in a language. “There is no theoretical reason why this can’t be almost as good as the ears,” says Eagleman. So far, he has trained deaf people to recognize single words through the VEST. He hopes to eventually help them understand sentences, and then full conversations. Just like with language, Eagleman discovered, children — whose brains are more shapable — learned to interpret the VEST more easily than adults did. Eagleman says his device could one day be deployed in dozens of professions to better understand complex environments. A pilot could interpret a plane’s condition through the VEST’s vibrations. An astronaut could literally feel the health of the International Space Station. Eagleman and Novich’s startup, Neo Sensory, plans to develop the VEST for all kinds of uses, so someday we all can experience this sixth sense. “The possibilities are endless for the kind of information we could be streaming in,” says Eagleman. 28. What is the VEST? A. A huge input channel on the body. B. A computer-smartphone connector. C. A processing program with tiny motors. D. A wearable sound-vibration transformer. 29. What is the working procedure of the VEST? ①motors to be activated ②sounds to be decomposed ③words to be interpreted A. ①②③ B. ②③① C. ①③② D. ②①③ 30. What does the underlined word “deployed” in paragraph 5. probably mean? A. Assessed. B. Employed. C. Detected. D. Invented. 31. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Listen with Your Skin B. Hear Your Sixth Sense C. To Listen or Not D. Here to Hear. 【答案】28. D 29. D 30. B 31. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了VEST，一种将声音转化为背部振动，帮助聋人“听”见声音的可穿戴设备，及其工作原理、应用前景。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“So Eagleman, along with Scott Novich, his student at Baylor College of Medicine, created the Versatile Extra-Sensory Transducer, or VEST. The VEST is worn like it sounds. Through 32 tiny motors, it translates sound waves into vibrations (振动) on your back.(因此，伊格尔曼和他在贝勒医学院的学生斯科特·诺维奇一起创造了多功能超感传感器。VEST的穿着听起来很得体。通过32个微小的马达，它将声波转化为背部的振动)”可知，VEST是一种可穿戴设备，能够将声音转化为背部的振动。故选D。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“First, a computer or smartphone picks up sounds from your surroundings and breaks down the sound sample into a set of specific frequencies. Each frequency band in the set sets off one of 32 motors in the VEST. With time and practice, your brain learns to unconsciously interpret the series of vibrations as sound—and individual sounds as words in a language.(首先，电脑或智能手机会从你周围的环境中拾取声音，并将声音样本分解为一组特定的频率。该组中的每个频带都会触发VEST中32个电机中的一个。随着时间的推移和练习，你的大脑会无意识地将一系列振动解释为声音，并将单个声音解释为语言中的单词)”可知，工作流程先是声音被采集并分解成特定频率，接着这些频率激活VEST上的电机，最后大脑学会解读振动为声音和语言中的单词。因此，正确顺序为②①③。故选D。 【30题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线单词所在句中“to better understand complex environments(以更好地了解复杂的环境)”以及“A pilot could interpret a plane’s condition through the VEST’s vibrations. An astronaut could literally feel the health of the International Space Station. (飞行员可以通过VEST的振动来解释飞机的状况。宇航员可以真正感受到国际空间站的健康状况)”可知，提到该装置未来可能在多种职业中被使用，以更好地理解复杂环境，因此deployed在此处意为“使用”。故选B。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“So Eagleman, along with Scott Novich, his student at Baylor College of Medicine, created the Versatile Extra-Sensory Transducer, or VEST. The VEST is worn like it sounds. Through 32 tiny motors, it translates sound waves into vibrations (振动) on your back.(因此，伊格尔曼和他在贝勒医学院的学生斯科特·诺维奇一起创造了多功能超感传感器。背心的穿着听起来很得体。通过32个微小的马达，它将声波转化为背部的振动)”以及全文可知，文章主要介绍了一种名为VEST的新设备，它能够让佩戴者通过皮肤“听到”声音，这是一种利用振动将声音信号传递给大脑的方式，颠覆了传统依赖耳膜的听觉方式。因此，A选项“用你的皮肤去听”最能概括文章内容，体现了这种创新的听觉感知方式，适合作文章的标题。故选A。 D “Palace, Mountain, Moon?” has been selected by NASA as the Astronomical Picture of the Day for December 25, 2023. The photo was taken by Valerio, a young photographer of Turin, Italy. It was shot on the evening of December 15, 2023. While he knew about NASA’s competition, he hadn’t considered participating until receiving much encouragement from his social media followers. Soon after, he received the message, “Your image has been chosen as the astronomical photo of the day.” It was incredible! In a photo like this, nothing is left to luck. The concept came to him back in 2017. Walking on the hills north of Turin, he found several spots perfect for including both the Basilica of Superga Palace and Mountain Monviso. After numerous visits over several months, he identified four spots where Superga and Monviso line up just right. After exactly finding these locations, he experimented with shooting them at different times. “I knew I needed something special to perfect the photo. The Sun was a no-go, so I turned to the Moon. Its various phases (位相) and positions reach an azimuth angle (方位角) of 230 degrees,” Valerio said. With this in mind, he researched the Moon’s phases, marked potential dates on the calendar, and planned the exact moments when the moon could join the queue. It was very successful, especially because the Moon was in a waning phase. This meant that in the photo, not only was its crescent (新月) lit up, but so was the left part, its shadowed side. That part is lit by reflected light, also known as Da Vinci’s glow, named after him because he was the one who theorized about why the Moon’s shadowed side is brightened. During the early days of the waning Moon phases, the shadowed part is visible because the Sun’s light reflects off the Earth and hits the Moon’s shadowed side, giving it a greyish, silvery color. This allowed the light to outline Monviso on the left as well. 32. Why did Valerio send the photo to NASA? A. He developed an interest in astronomical advances. B. He expected to encourage followers on social media. C. He received broad support from enthusiastic fans. D. He got a message of invitation from NASA. 33. In Valerio’s photo, the three objects ________. A. shine light on each other B. stand in a straight line C. fit each other in size D. vary from usual in color 34. What did Valerio do to prepare for the perfect photo? A. Studying how the Moon phase changes. B. Pay numerous visits to the spots for good luck C. Analyzing when to adjust the camera angle. D. Measuring the height of the observation point. 35. What was lit up by the Da Vinci’s glow? A. The outline of the crescent. B. The outline of Superga. C. The dark side of the Moon. D. The shadowed side of the Earth. 【答案】32. C 33. B 34. A 35. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲的是年轻摄影师瓦莱里奥的天文照片被美国宇航局选中以及其拍摄天文照片的经过。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“While he knew about NASA’s competition, he hadn’t considered participating until receiving much encouragement from his social media followers.(虽然他知道美国宇航局的比赛，但直到收到社交媒体粉丝的大力鼓励，他才考虑参加比赛。)”可知，瓦莱里奥把照片发给美国宇航局是因为他得到了热情粉丝的广泛支持。故选C。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“After numerous visits over several months, he identified four spots where Superga and Monviso line up just right.(经过几个月的多次访问，他确定了四个位置，在那里Superga和Monviso恰好对齐。)”，第四段“Its various phases and positions reach an azimuth angle (方位角) of 230 degrees(它的不同相位和位置的方位角达到230度)”以及“With this in mind, he researched the Moon’s phases, marked potential dates on the calendar, and planned the exact moments when the moon could join the queue.(考虑到这一点，他研究了月亮的相位，在日历上标记了可能的日期，并计划了月亮可能加入队列的确切时刻。)”可知，在瓦莱里奥的照片中，这三个物体位于一条直线上。故选B。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“With this in mind, he researched the Moon’s phases, marked potential dates on the calendar, and planned the exact moments when the moon could join the queue.(考虑到这一点，他研究了月亮的相位，在日历上标记了可能的日期，并计划了月亮可能加入队列的确切时刻。)”可知，为了拍出一张完美的照片，瓦莱里奥研究月相的变化。故选A。 【35题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“That part is lit by reflected light, also known as Da Vinci’s glow, named after him because he was the one who theorized about why the Moon’s shadowed side is brightened.(这部分是由反射光照亮的，也被称为达•芬奇的光芒，以他的名字命名，因为他提出了月球的阴暗面为什么会变亮的理论。)”可知，达•芬奇的光芒照亮了月球的阴暗面。故选C。 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。 Gamba has a lifelong fear of dentists. “It was much easier to accept the toothache,” he says. ______36______, there are times when you have to seek proper dental care. Fortunately, many dentists are specially trained in handling fearful patients. A variety of methods are also available to reduce pain and fear when you are in the dentist’s chair. The best dentists use simple methods to create a feeling of control. They gently explain what the patient will feel, and for about how long. They frequently ask the patient for permission to continue.______37______. Their working places are barely recognizable as a dentist’s office. Free of posters showing the horrors of dental diseases, some even have a fireplace in the waiting room and some have a treatment room overlooking a waterfall. ______38______, your body may still fear that chair. Here are some tips that may help you: ➢ Go to the dentist with someone you trust, such as a close relative who has no fear of dentists. If possible, ask him/her to sit with you during the treatment. ➢ ______39______. Listen to your own music on headphones — a new CD, not one you’ve heard a lot, so you’ll be a little more interested in it. Or find a dental clinic with a TV in the treatment room. ➢ Try relaxation techniques. Controlled breathing — I taking a big breath, holding it, and letting it out slowly — will slow your heartbeat and relax your muscles. As the pain from Gamba’s wisdom teeth worsened, he found support online through a forum for people with dental fear. He also found a dentist, who advertises his skill with fearful patients. “______40______,” Gamba says before going. But the dentist put him so at ease that he agreed to receive treatment right away. And it was painless, he says. A. Add your favorite songs to the playlist B. Shift attention while in the dentist’s chair C. It wouldn’t be possible without the dentists’ support D. I convinced myself that I was just going to talk with the dentist E. Even if your mind tells you you’ll be just fine in such circumstances F. Although you would never look forward to a spell in the dentist’s chair G. Some dentists even go out of their way to create a nonthreatening environment 【答案】36. F 37. G 38. E 39. B 40. D 【解析】 【导语】本文属于说明文。作者详细解释了对于害怕牙医的人来说，如何在必要时寻求适当的牙科护理，并介绍了多种方法来减少在牙医椅子上的疼痛和恐惧。 【36题详解】 根据上文“Gamba has a lifelong fear of dentists. “It was much easier to accept the toothache,” he says. (甘巴一生都害怕牙医。“接受牙痛要容易得多，”他说。)”和下文“here are times when you have to seek proper dental care. (有时你必须寻求适当牙齿护理。)”可知，甘巴害怕看牙医，忍受牙痛，但有时必须寻求适当的牙科治疗。因此，这里需要一个转折来引出即使不愿意也得面对的情况。故F选项“Although you would never look forward to a spell in the dentist’s chair (尽管你永远不会期待在牙医的椅子上度过一段时间)”能承上启下，符合题意。故选F。 【37题详解】 根据上文“The best dentists use simple methods to create a feeling of control. They gently explain what the patient will feel, and for about how long. They frequently ask the patient for permission to continue. (最好的牙医使用简单的方法来创造一种控制感。他们会温和地解释病人的感觉，以及持续多久。他们经常请求病人允许他们继续治疗。)”及下文“Their working places are barely recognizable as a dentist’s office. Free of posters showing the horrors of dental diseases, some even have a fireplace in the waiting room and some have a treatment room overlooking a waterfall. (他们的工作场所几乎看不出是一家牙医诊所。没有展示牙病可怕的海报，有些甚至在候诊室里有壁炉，有些甚至有一个可以俯瞰瀑布的治疗室。)”可知，此处应衔接关于牙医如何营造轻松环境的信息。因此，G选项“Some dentists even go out of their way to create a nonthreatening environment (有些牙医甚至不遗余力地创造一个无威胁的环境)”能承上启下，符合题意。故选G。 【38题详解】 根据上文“Their working places are barely recognizable as a dentist’s office. Free of posters showing the horrors of dental diseases, some even have a fireplace in the waiting room and some have a treatment room overlooking a waterfall. (他们的工作场所几乎看不出是一家牙医诊所。没有展示牙病可怕的海报，有些甚至在候诊室里有壁炉，有些甚至有一个可以俯瞰瀑布的治疗室。)”和下文“your body may still fear that chair. (你的身体可能仍然害怕那把椅子。)”可知，上文提到诊所环境的改变，如瀑布景观等，意在减轻身体上的恐惧感，下文说身体仍然害怕那把椅子。此处作为过渡句，指出即便心理上接受了，身体可能仍会有恐惧反应，E选项“Even if your mind tells you you’ll be just fine in such circumstances (即使你的理智告诉你在这种情况下你会没事的)”能承上启下，符合题意。故选E。 【39题详解】 根据下文“Listen to your own music on headphones— a new CD, not one you’ve heard a lot, so you’ll be a little more interested in it. Or find a dental clinic with a TV in the treatment room. (戴上耳机听你自己的音乐——一张新CD，不是你听过很多次的，这样你会对它更感兴趣。或者找一家在治疗室里有电视的牙科诊所。)”可知，本段主要讲述了一些帮助患者在牙医诊疗过程中分散注意力的方法，如听音乐或看电视等。B选项“Shift attention while in the dentist’s chair (坐在牙医椅上转移注意力)”能引起下文，符合题意。故选B。 【40题详解】 根据下文“But the dentist put him so at ease that he agreed to receive treatment right away. (但是牙医让他非常放松，以至于他同意马上接受治疗。)”可知，在此之前，甘巴内心是紧张的。D选项“I convinced myself that I was just going to talk with the dentist (我让自己相信我只是去和牙医谈谈)”表明了甘巴试图说服自己以减轻紧张情绪的状态，能引起下文，符合题意。故选D。 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四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 On February 17th, the Clermont County Animal Shelter, Ohio, shared a story.

I’ll be honest: video games and I don’t really see eye to eye, and I have no ambitions to become better. I never have the experience playing against my kids and winning. And that’s okay. Board games, on the other hand, are a different story. At least there, I stand a chance of victory. One day, my 12-year-old son begged me to play a game with him. He held out a game controller and begged, “Just one game with me? You can use it to control the game through your movements.” His eyes were full of anticipation and I could see the excitement welling up within him. How could I possibly resist such a sincere and heartfelt request? “Just one game.” My son’s face lit up. In a matter of minutes, we were standing in our living room, virtually bowling away. My son’s amusement at my lack of gaming skills was evident. I could see the struggle on his face as he fought to hold back his laughter. The game controller felt awkward and unfamiliar in my hand, but I did my best to copy my son’s movements and follow his lead. At one point, my son said, “No, Mom. You really have to put some force into it. Like this.” With that, he threw his arm back, stepped forward, and with plenty of force extended out his arm that was holding the controller. Instead of sending the virtual bowling ball flying, the controller went off his hand and broke the TV screen. The impact was immediate and destructive. The screen cracked, sending a crazy mosaic (马赛克) of colors dancing across its surface. It looked like something straight out of a dream. The air stood still at that moment. The look on my son’s face was a funny mixture of horror, disbelief and guilt. He stayed absolutely frozen for a long moment. Then, slowly, he turned to me. “Mom...” with a weak smile, “Did I just... break the TV?” 注意： 1. 续写的词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡上的相应位置作答。 Surprisingly, I wasn’t angry at all. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ But my son insisted on keeping the broken TV. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Surprisingly, I wasn’t angry at all. After all, it was just an accident. “Yes, sweetie.” I approached him, fighting to keep a straight face. “You did just break it,” I added with a playful grin, “Next time, let’s stick to board games.” My boy buried his head in my arms. From the way he hugged me, I could tell how apologetic he was. It was an innocent mistake and I hated to blame a child with guilt. “Don’t worry—we’ll throw the broken TV away and buy a new one.” But my son insisted on keeping the broken TV. He carried it to the corner of the sitting room. On seeing my confused look, he explained, “I will remind me to be cautious.” As my gaze fell upon that cracked screen, I couldn’t help but recall my son’s fateful words: “Like this.” These two words echoed in my mind, seeming to offer a profound life lesson. Accidents happen and it is practical forgiveness that plays a significant role in shaping a child’s character. The incident indeed brought us even closer as a family. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者和儿子玩游戏，儿子不小心打破了电视屏幕，作者没有生气，儿子十分愧疚，作者表示换一台新的电视就好，但是儿子坚持把坏的电视留下作为给自己的提醒，作者从这件事中意识到了宽恕的重要性。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“令人惊讶的是，我一点也不生气。”及第二段首句内容可知，第一段可描写作者安慰儿子，儿子内疚，作者不愿意责备儿子，表示可以换一台新电视。 ②由第二段首句内容“但我儿子坚持要留着那台坏了的电视。”可知，第二段可描写儿子想要留着坏了的电视机作为提醒及作者对于宽恕的感悟。 2.续写线索：作者安慰——儿子愧疚——作者表示换新电视——儿子保留坏电视机——作者对于宽恕的感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①拥抱：hug/embrace ②看见：see/notice/catch sight of ③购买：buy/purchase 情绪类 ①愧疚：guilt/shame ②困惑的：confused/puzzled 【点睛】[高分句型1] From the way he hugged me, I could tell how apologetic he was.（way作先行词省略关系词的定语从句和how引导的宾语从句） [高分句型2] Accidents happen and it is practical forgiveness that plays a significant role in shaping a child’s character.（it is…that结构的强调句型） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 南京市2024届高三年级第二次模拟考试 英语 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 shit?

When a string of mysterious accidents start happening at the store, Zander’s grandmother tells him that a monster called Darkbloom may have returned. The monster, which can control people, wants a magical object that disappeared from the store decades ago. Zander notices that walls on many floors contain mysterious symbols and takes them down in his notebook. Will the 11-year-old boy be able to solve the puzzle and secure the object before Darkbloom does? Packed with suspense, fascination, and a family drama, this mystery may remind you of a cross between Escape from Mr. Lemoncello’s Library and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Ask the Author The Week: What inspired this book? Ben Guterson: When I was growing up, Seattle had two big department stores. Something about these big buildings held many possibilities for mystery and discovery to me. The Week: Why is Zander close to his grandmother? Ben Guterson: I didn’t want Zander to be alone, so he’s got his loving grandmother there to give him some guidance and keep him safe. The Week: Do you enjoy mysteries? Ben Guterson: Yes, I like stories with a mysterious feel to them. I don’t think I have ever been drawn to straightforward realism. 21. What can we learn about Zander? A. He grows up in Seattle. B. He lives alone at a store. C. He wishes to be a magician. D. He wants to defeat Darkbloom. 22. Who will most probably find the The World-Famous Nine fascinating? A. A kid loving true-life stories. B. A kid enjoying fictional works. C. A kid interested in grandma’s dishes. D. A kid drawn to online store shopping. 23. What is the text? A. A writer’s profile. B. An interview outline. C. A children’s story. D. A book recommendation. B For eight years, Sophie created realistic-looking limbs (肢) for those who wanted to fit in. But she longed to work on more odd designs that would stand out. Then she met Pollyanna Hope, a young amputee (被截肢者). “She wanted something a little different on her leg: pictures of a cartoon she loved, Peppa Pig,” said Sophie, who is now based in London. So she designed a unique leg covered in tattoo-like images of Peppa and other pigs riding a bicycle and eating ice cream. Working with Hope made Sophie realize there was a potential market for limbs. Since then, Sophie founded the Alternative Limb Project (ALP) to make artistic limbs. Her work includes an arm wrapped in sculpted snakes and a leg that looks like porcelain (瓷器) covered in a painted flowery vine. She makes about six limbs per year, always including clients’ ideas so that they receive a personal piece they can celebrate rather than hide. Of course, a fancy-looking limb won't suit everyone. For Sophie, the basis is that each limb must satisfy a combination of comfort, beauty and functionality, and pushing too hard in one direction can weaken other areas. But for amputees who appreciate novelty, Sophie has some amazing ideas. “I’d really like to make a candy-dispenser leg with colorful candies inside it” she says. “Or a cuckoo-clock leg with a wooden bird that pops out every hour.” Her goal is to fashion a striking limb. “It’ll transform the limbs from an elephant in the room into a conversation piece.” 24. Why did Pollyanna Hope come to Sophie? A. She hoped to have a tailored limb. B. She intended to design a cartoon figure. C. She longed to expand the market for limbs. D. She expected to sell Sophie some odd ideas. 25. According to paragraph 3, ALP aims to ______. A. boost users’ confidence B. sharpen users’ creativity C. improve Sophie’s sculpture skills D. extend Sophie’s art business 26. What is the basis for Sophie's works? A. The novelty of the pattern tops the list. B. The balance of multi-needs comes first. C. Fashion is the best policy. D. Functionality is the key. 27. What can be inferred from the underlined sentence in the last paragraph? A. Sophie resolves to lead the fashion of limbs. B. Sophie plans to further transform artistic limbs. C. Amputees will feel at ease to talk about limbs. D. Amputees will have easy access to artistic limbs. C What if our bodies had a new way — other than our eardrums — to hear the world around us? That’s what neuroscientist David Eagleman wondered five years ago. Then he looked at the body for answers and saw a huge sound jack (插孔). “We have this huge input channel called our skin,” he says, “and we aren’t using it.” So Eagleman, along with Scott Novich, his student at Baylor College of Medicine, created the Versatile Extra-Sensory Transducer, or VEST. The VEST is worn like it sounds. Through 32 tiny motors, it translates sound waves into vibrations (振动) on your back. First a computer or smartphone picks up sounds from your surroundings and breaks down the sound sample into a set of specific frequencies. Each frequency band in the set sets off one of 32 motors in the VEST. With time and practice, your brain learns to unconsciously interpret the series of vibrations as sound — and individual sounds as words in a language. “There is no theoretical reason why this can’t be almost as good as the ears,” says Eagleman. So far, he has trained deaf people to recognize single words through the VEST. He hopes to eventually help them understand sentences, and then full conversations. Just like with language, Eagleman discovered, children — whose brains are more shapable — learned to interpret the VEST more easily than adults did. Eagleman says his device could one day be deployed in dozens of professions to better understand complex environments. A pilot could interpret a plane’s condition through the VEST’s vibrations. An astronaut could literally feel the health of the International Space Station. Eagleman and Novich’s startup, Neo Sensory, plans to develop the VEST for all kinds of uses, so someday we all can experience this sixth sense. “The possibilities are endless for the kind of information we could be streaming in,” says Eagleman. 28. What is the VEST? A. A huge input channel on the body. B. A computer-smartphone connector. C. A processing program with tiny motors. D. A wearable sound-vibration transformer. 29. What is the working procedure of the VEST? ①motors to be activated ②sounds to be decomposed ③words to be interpreted A. ①②③ B. ②③① C. ①③② D. ②①③ 30. What does the underlined word “deployed” in paragraph 5. probably mean? A. Assessed. B. Employed. C. Detected. D. Invented. 31. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Listen with Your Skin B. Hear Your Sixth Sense C. To Listen or Not D. Here to Hear. D “Palace, Mountain, Moon?” has been selected by NASA as the Astronomical Picture of the Day for December 25, 2023. The photo was taken by Valerio, a young photographer of Turin, Italy. It was shot on the evening of December 15, 2023. While he knew about NASA’s competition, he hadn’t considered participating until receiving much encouragement from his social media followers. Soon after, he received the message, “Your image has been chosen as the astronomical photo of the day.” It was incredible! In a photo like this, nothing is left to luck. The concept came to him back in 2017. Walking on the hills north of Turin, he found several spots perfect for including both the Basilica of Superga Palace and Mountain Monviso. After numerous visits over several months, he identified four spots where Superga and Monviso line up just right. After exactly finding these locations, he experimented with shooting them at different times. “I knew I needed something special to perfect the photo. The Sun was a no-go, so I turned to the Moon. Its various phases (位相) and positions reach an azimuth angle (方位角) of 230 degrees,” Valerio said. With this in mind, he researched the Moon’s phases, marked potential dates on the calendar, and planned the exact moments when the moon could join the queue. It was very successful, especially because the Moon was in a waning phase. This meant that in the photo, not only was its crescent (新月) lit up, but so was the left part, its shadowed side. That part is lit by reflected light, also known as Da Vinci’s glow, named after him because he was the one who theorized about why the Moon’s shadowed side is brightened. During the early days of the waning Moon phases, the shadowed part is visible because the Sun’s light reflects off the Earth and hits the Moon’s shadowed side, giving it a greyish, silvery color. This allowed the light to outline Monviso on the left as well. 32. Why did Valerio send the photo to NASA? A. He developed an interest in astronomical advances. B. He expected to encourage followers on social media. C. He received broad support from enthusiastic fans. D. He got a message of invitation from NASA. 33. In Valerio’s photo, the three objects ________. A. shine light on each other B. stand in a straight line C. fit each other in size D. vary from usual in color 34. What did Valerio do to prepare for the perfect photo? A. Studying how the Moon phase changes. B. Pay numerous visits to the spots for good luck C. Analyzing when to adjust the camera angle. D. Measuring the height of the observation point. 35. What was lit up by the Da Vinci’s glow? A. The outline of the crescent. B. The outline of Superga. C. The dark side of the Moon. D. The shadowed side of the Earth. 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。 Gamba has a lifelong fear of dentists. “It was much easier to accept the toothache,” he says. ______36______ there are times when you have to seek proper dental care. Fortunately, many dentists are specially trained in handling fearful patients. A variety of methods are also available to reduce pain and fear when you are in the dentist’s chair. The best dentists use simple methods to create a feeling of control. They gently explain what the patient will feel, and for about how long. They frequently ask the patient for permission to continue.______37______. Their working places are barely recognizable as a dentist’s office. Free of posters showing the horrors of dental diseases, some even have a fireplace in the waiting room and some have a treatment room overlooking a waterfall. ______38______, your body may still fear that chair. Here are some tips that may help you: ➢ Go to the dentist with someone you trust, such as a close relative who has no fear of dentists. If possible, ask him/her to sit with you during the treatment. ➢ ______39______.
