However, they are likely to be anxious about health problems many seniors face, especially the frightening disorder of mental functioning — thinking, remembering, and reasoning. But don’t worry! The apps are here to help your grandma and grandpa. It presents level-based crossword puzzles and word search games, featuring oversized buttons and controls for seniors. Its games use point systems to judge the performance of players and it can dynamically adjust the difficulty of games to suit each individual — which keeps seniors enjoying their sense of achievement. It includes everything seniors need to stay sharp-minded. All they have to do is spend ten minutes per day playing a wide range of the app’s 45 available games. Peak even includes a built-in personal trainer that helps track players’ progress and arrange the seeps that they’ll need to improve their mental sharpness. It takes a scientific approach to brain training with a variety of games to improve seniors’ mental keenness. Players begin by seeing how well they challenge specific types of mental abilities. Then with fun themes and enjoyable elements added, they can keep players engaged while improving their performance at the given tasks. It is a multipurpose app that helps seniors keep fit with brain training, physical activities, and tips on healthy eating. The approach starts with brain. stimulating games that improve memory, attention and speed. And to top it off, it also comes with senior-friendly workout videos. 1. What can the four apps help seniors do? A. Gain experience and wisdom. B. Keep life in order. C. Relieve mental aging anxiety. D. Extend social circle. 2. How does Witty Words app make operation easier for the senions? A By designing large buttons. B. By tracing their progress. C. By using built-in trainers. D. By providing dynamic games, 3 Which app also helps the seniors to build up the body? A. Witty Words. B. Peak. C. Lumosity. D. MindMate. B Do you ever get to the train station and realize you forgot to bring something to read? Yes, we all have our phones, but many of us still like to go old school and read something printed. Well, there’s a kiosk (小亭) for that. In the San Francisco Bay Area, at least. “You enter the fare gates (检票口) and you’ll see a kiosk that is lit up and it tells you can get a one-minute, a three-minute, or a five-minute story,” says Alicia Trost, the chief communications officer for the San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit — known as BART. “You choose which length you want and it gives you a receipt-like short story.” It’s that simple. Riders have printed nearly 20,000 short stories and poems since the program was launched last March. Some are classic short stories, and some are new original works. Trost also wants to introduce local writers to local riders. “We wanted to do something where we do a call to artists in the Bay Area to submit stories for a contest,” Trost says. “And as of right now, we’ve received about 120 submissions. The winning stories would go into our kiosk and then you would be a published artist.” Ridership on transit (交通) systems across the country has been down the past half century, so could short stories save transit? Trost thinks so. “At the end of the day all transit agencies right now are doing everything they can to improve the rider experience. So I absolutely think we will get more riders just because of short stories,” she says. And you’ll never be without something to read. 4. Why did BART start the kiosk program? A. To promote the local culture. B. To discourage phone use. C. To meet passengers’ needs. D. To reduce its running costs. 5. How are the stories categorized in the kiosk? A. By popularity. B. By length. C. By theme. D. By language. 6. What has Trost been doing recently? A. Organizing a story contest. B. Doing a survey of customers. C Choosing a print publisher. D. Conducting interviews with artists. 7. What is Trost’s opinion about BART’s future? A. It will close down. B. Its profits will decline. C. It will expand nationwide. D. Its ridership will increase. C The high intelligence levels of orangutans (红毛猩猩) have long been recognised, partly due to their practical skills such as using tools to crack nuts and search for insects. But new research suggests the primate (灵长动物) has another handy skill: applying medicinal herbs intentionally to an open wound. A male Sumatran orangutan known as Rakus was observed by the research team with a fresh facial wound in June 2022. Three days later, Rakus was witnessed feeding on the stem and leaves of a plant. Thirteen minutes after Rakus had started feeding on it, he began chewing the leaves without swallowing them, then used his fingers to apply the resulting juice directly on to his facial wound. He repeated this behavior for seven minutes and at last fully covered the wound with the chewed leaves. He then continued feeding on the plant for 30 minutes. Over the following days, there were no signs of infection. The wound closed within five days and was healed, with only a faint scar remaining after one month. It is not the first time wild primate species have been spotted self-medicating: among other examples, Bornean orangutans have been seen rubbing their arms and legs with chewed leaves from a plant used by humans to treat sore muscles, while chimpanzees have been recorded chewing plants known to treat worm infections and applying insects to wounds. However, the new discovery is the first time a wild animal has been observed treating open wounds with a substance known to have medicinal properties. “In the chimpanzee case they used insects and unfortunately it was never found out whether these insects really promote wound healing. Whereas in our case, the orangutan used the plant, and this plant has known medical properties,” said Dr Caroline Schuppli, senior author of the research. Rakus’s goal-oriented behavior and the medicinal properties of his chosen treatment offer insight into the origins of human wound care-the treatment of which was first mentioned in a medical manuscript dating to 2200BC. “It definitely shows that these basic cognitive capacities that you need to come up with a behaviour like this were present at the time of our last common ancestor most likely,” said Schuppli. It remains unclear whether Rakus figured the process out for himself or learned it from another orangutan, although it has not been seen in any other individual. 8. How did the team conduct their research? A. By analyzing previous records. B. By tracking the research object. C. By quoting others’ findings. D. By categorizing qualities of primates. 9. What sets this new case apart from the previous ones? A. The primate’s awareness of herb selection. B. The locations of the wild primates. C. The sizes of the application range. D. The outcome of the treatment. 10. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about? A. Supporting evidence for the research results. B. Potential significance of the research findings. C. A further explanation of the research summary. D. A reasonable doubt about the research process. 11. What will the follow-up study focus on? A. The origin of Rakus’ intentional self-medication. B. Different medicinal plants used by wild primates. C. Active wound treatment s shared by humans and primates D. The possible influence from Rakus’ family. D Heat waves are becoming more common in parts of the United States — and that means more people running their air conditioners for longer. But those air conditioners can make the problem worse, giving off greenhouse gases as they work that contribute heavily to climate change. SkyCool Systems is trying to break that cycle, using technology that promises to offer buildings an alternative means to cool down in a similar way to how the planet cools itself. “Our planet naturally cools itself by sending heat out in the form of infrared light (红外线) or radiation,” said Eli Goldstein, SkyCool’s cofounder and CEO. “We do this through rooftop panels, which look like solar panels but actually do the opposite, reflecting 97% of the sunlight that hits them and cooling the surface below,” said Goldstein. SkyCool’s model involves fixing a network of pipes below those panels. These pipes are filled with water, which is kept cool by the panels and then flows into an air conditioning system. This process is designed to take pressure off the system’s cooling mechanism. And because the panels cool naturally and don’t need external power to function, it helps the entire system use less electricity. A Grocery Outlet store in California, which has been using SkyCool’s system since last year, says it saw a marked drop in its electrical bills. Jesus Valenzuela, the store manager, estimates that the panels have saved his store roughly $3,000 a month. But perhaps the biggest barrier to making the technology ubiquitous (无处不在的) is its relatively high cost. Increasing production could help bring the cost down, Goldstein said, particularly for developing countries in Asia and Africa where SkyCool hopes to eventually expand. For now, the company is focused on commercial applications of the technology, though it hopes to start setting up panels on the roofs of individual homes. “We’re just excited to be able to use this new technology for good,” Goldstein said. 12. How did Goldstein explain the way their rooftop panels work? A. By citing an expert’s words. B. By making comparisons. C. By analyzing cause and effect. D. By describing the process in detail. 13. What is the function of the pipes in SkyCool’s model? A. To store cold water to help cool the panels. B. To help ease the water pressure of the air conditioning. C. To power the panels by making use of flowing water. D. To feed cold water into the air conditioning system. 14. How might Jesus Valenzuela view SkyCool’s system? A. It’s pretty effective. B. It has increased sales for his store. C. It will go out of style quickly. D. It will cost too much to set up. 15. What does SkyCool expect of its system? A. It’ll bring in a good profit for the company. B. It’ll gain popularity in developed countries. C. It’ll take the place of air conditioners. D. It’ll be accessible to common households. 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。 Overtourism Is For Real: How Can You Help? Travel promotes understanding, expands our minds, makes us better people, and boosts local economies and communities, but the rapid growth of travel has led to overtourism in certain regions and destinations. ___16___ Certainly not. The loss of what travel offers would be unacceptable in today’s world. Here are some tips on making wise decisions to minimize pressure on the places we visit and improve our experience. ●Choose mindfully. Overvisited destinations are that way for a reason: they’re special. With so many online posts featuring the same places, it’s easy to feel like you’re missing out. Go somewhere only when the landscape, culture or food deeply draws you. ___17___ ●Get creative. The best way to ease pressure on over-touristed destinations is to go somewhere else. Though overtourism is described as a problem affecting the entire world, it’s actually concentrated to a small number of extremely popular spots. That means you have tons of less-visited options to choose from. ___18___ Why not try a regional alternative or check out a popular destination’s lesser-known sights? ●___19___ Minimize impact and maximize experience by skipping major holidays or rush hour. You’ll compete with fewer tourists, save money, experience a different side of a popular place, and boost the economy when tourism is traditionally slower. Visiting a place that others call home is a privilege (荣幸). Do your part to preserve what makes a destination special in the first place. ___20___ You may be amazed how much closer you’ll feel to the people there. A. Visit during off-peak times. B. So, should we stop traveling? C. Travel for you and no one else. D. Can overtourism be avoided then? E. You can still find relatively undiscovered places. F. You’ll find yourself virtually alone, or close to it. G. Consider giving back to the communities you’re visiting. 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。 Orange chicken, salt and pepper chips, fried rice... Max Burns lists several typical Western-style Chinese dishes that ___21___ him. For Burns who spent his childhood in China, those cuisines are far from ___22___. They are invented to satisfy Western preferences. Actually, many Westerners regard that particular type of ___23___ as the whole of Chinese cuisine. The average Westerners are not as ___24___ and educated as they could be. That is why he tries to show Chinese food by vlogging (视频博客) about ___25___ Chinese dishes at home. The food adventure has helped Burns grow into an ___26___ with over three million subscribers worldwide today and helped ___27___ some people’s ideas about Chinese food. His friends told him they were shocked by the ___28___ of Chinese cuisine and it took them a long time to figure out categories of Chinese cuisine. ___29___, when Burns first started vlogging in 2016 after returning to England, cooking Chinese food at home was a then “____30____ idea”, because he was never into cooking. At the time, the ____31____ centered more on explaining aspects of Chinese culture. However, during COVID-19 when Burns couldn’t ____32____ outside, he had to learn to cook. “Then I instantly fell in love,” he ____33____. “The more I learned about Chinese cooking, the more I got into it.” The cooking journey also serves to maintain his ____34____ with China, even though he has left China for years. Burns ____35____ the experiences of living in China, enabling him to teach about Chinese cuisine and build a cross-cultural bridge between the East and the West. 21.

The vase dropped to the floor and a large piece broke off. What made Ben more upset was that the vase was not a common decoration but an antique, which was handed down through generations from the 18th century. It was also his mother’s favourite possession. To cover his terrible action, the terrified boy glued (用胶水粘贴) the pieces together hastily and put the vase back to its place. As the mother herself dusted (擦拭) the vase every day, she naturally noticed the cracks (裂纹) that evening. To her surprise, the repair work was actually very good. At dinner time, she asked her boy if he broke the vase. Fearing punishment, Ben said that a neighbor’s cat jumped in from the window and he couldn’t drive it away no matter how hard he tried. The cat ran around the living room and finally knocked the vase off its shelf. His mother was quite clear that her son was lying, for all the windows were closed before she left for work each morning and opened after she returned. However, in the face of her son’s nervous eyes and the suspicious looks of the other family members, Ben’s mother remained calm. She realized she shouldn’t just simply blame and punish her son for lying. She came up with another idea. Before going to bed, Ben found a note from his mother in his room, asking him to go to the study (书房) at once. The boy thought he would now be punished but, as he had already lied, he was determined to deny everything, no matter how angry his mum became. In the study, his mother’s face showed no sign of anger. Seeing her son push the door open and cautiously enter, she took a box of chocolates out of a drawer and gave him a chocolate. 注意：续写词数应150左右。 The mother said, “This chocolate is a reward for your imagination: a window-opening cat!” _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Now with a lot of chocolates in hand, Ben’s bad attitude disappeared. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力：1-5：BAABC 6-10：ABACB 11-15：CBABA 16-20：CBACB 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 新泰中学2022级高二下学期期末考试模拟训练(一) 英语试题 2023.06 (时长2小时，满分150) 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收回。 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共5小题：每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话，每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。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．What did the woman do yesterday evening?

In the San Francisco Bay Area, at least. “You enter the fare gates (检票口) and you’ll see a kiosk that is lit up and it tells you can get a one-minute, a three-minute, or a five-minute story,” says Alicia Trost, the chief communications officer for the San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit — known as BART. “You choose which length you want and it gives you a receipt-like short story.” It’s that simple. Riders have printed nearly 20,000 short stories and poems since the program was launched last March. Some are classic short stories, and some are new original works. Trost also wants to introduce local writers to local riders. “We wanted to do something where we do a call to artists in the Bay Area to submit stories for a contest,” Trost says. “And as of right now, we’ve received about 120 submissions. The winning stories would go into our kiosk and then you would be a published artist.” Ridership on transit (交通) systems across the country has been down the past half century, so could short stories save transit? Trost thinks so. “At the end of the day all transit agencies right now are doing everything they can to improve the rider experience. So I absolutely think we will get more riders just because of short stories,” she says. And you’ll never be without something to read. 4. Why did BART start the kiosk program? A. To promote the local culture. B. To discourage phone use. C. To meet passengers’ needs. D. To reduce its running costs. 5. How are the stories categorized in the kiosk? A. By popularity. B. By length. C By theme. D. By language. 6. What has Trost been doing recently? A. Organizing a story contest. B. Doing a survey of customers. C. Choosing a print publisher. D. Conducting interviews with artists. 7. What is Trost’s opinion about BART’s future? A. It will close down. B. Its profits will decline. C. It will expand nationwide. D. Its ridership will increase. 【答案】4. C 5. B 6. A 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。主要报道了旧金山湾区捷运系统(BART)推出自动售货亭提供短篇故事打印服务，旨在满足乘客阅读需求，提升出行体验，Trost认为此举措能吸引更多乘客，对BART的未来持乐观态度，预期乘客量将会增长。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段““You enter the fare gates (检票口) and you’ll see a kiosk that is lit up and it tells you can get a one-minute, a three-minute, or a five-minute story,” says Alicia Trost, the chief communications officer for the San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit - known as BART. “You choose which length you want and it gives you a receipt-like short story.”(旧金山湾区捷运系统（BART）首席通讯官Alicia Trost表示：“你进入检票口，会看到一个亮着灯的信息亭，它告诉你可以得到一分钟、三分钟或五分钟的报道。你可以选择你想要的长度，它会给你一个类似收据的短篇故事。”)”可知，BART启动信息亭是为了满足乘客在乘车过程中的阅读需求，为他们提供不同长度的短篇故事或诗歌来打发时间。故选C项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“You choose which length you want and it gives you a receipt-like short story.(你可以选择你想要的长度，它会给你一个类似收据的短篇故事)”可知，信息亭中的故事按长度分类，乘客可以根据自己的需求选择不同长度的故事。故选B项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“We wanted to do something where we do a call to artists in the Bay Area to submit stories for a contest,(我们想做一些事情，呼吁湾区的艺术家为比赛提交故事)”以及第六段“The winning stories would go into our kiosk and then you would be a published artist.(获奖故事会进入我们的书报亭，然后你就会成为一名出版艺术家)”可知，Trost最近在组织一个故事竞赛，向湾区的艺术家征集故事，获胜作品将被放入书报亭供乘客阅读。故选A项。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段““At the end of the day all transit agencies right now are doing everything they can to improve the rider experience. So I absolutely think we will get more riders just because of short stories,” she says.(她说：“归根结底，所有的交通机构现在都在尽一切努力改善乘客体验。所以我绝对认为，我们会因为短篇小说而吸引更多的乘客。”)”可知，Trost认为通过提升乘客体验，包括提供短篇故事阅读服务，BART可以吸引更多的乘客，乘客量将会增加。故选D项。 C The high intelligence levels of orangutans (红毛猩猩) have long been recognised, partly due to their practical skills such as using tools to crack nuts and search for insects. But new research suggests the primate (灵长动物) has another handy skill: applying medicinal herbs intentionally to an open wound. A male Sumatran orangutan known as Rakus was observed by the research team with a fresh facial wound in June 2022. Three days later, Rakus was witnessed feeding on the stem and leaves of a plant. Thirteen minutes after Rakus had started feeding on it, he began chewing the leaves without swallowing them, then used his fingers to apply the resulting juice directly on to his facial wound. He repeated this behavior for seven minutes and at last fully covered the wound with the chewed leaves. He then continued feeding on the plant for 30 minutes. Over the following days, there were no signs of infection. The wound closed within five days and was healed, with only a faint scar remaining after one month. It is not the first time wild primate species have been spotted self-medicating: among other examples Bornean orangutans have been seen rubbing their arms and legs with chewed leaves from a plant used by humans to treat sore muscles, while chimpanzees have been recorded chewing plants known to treat worm infections and applying insects to wounds. However, the new discovery is the first time a wild animal has been observed treating open wounds with a substance known to have medicinal properties. “In the chimpanzee case they used insects and unfortunately it was never found out whether these insects really promote wound healing. Whereas in our case, the orangutan used the plant, and this plant has known medical properties,” said Dr Caroline Schuppli, senior author of the research. Rakus’s goal-oriented behavior and the medicinal properties of his chosen treatment offer insight into the origins of human wound care-the treatment of which was first mentioned in a medical manuscript dating to 2200BC. “It definitely shows that these basic cognitive capacities that you need to come up with a behaviour like this were present at the time of our last common ancestor most likely,” said Schuppli. It remains unclear whether Rakus figured the process out for himself or learned it from another orangutan, although it has not been seen in any other individual. 8. How did the team conduct their research? A. By analyzing previous records. B. By tracking the research object. C. By quoting others’ findings. D. By categorizing qualities of primates. 9. What sets this new case apart from the previous ones? A. The primate’s awareness of herb selection. B. The locations of the wild primates. C. The sizes of the application range. D. The outcome of the treatment. 10. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about? A. Supporting evidence for the research results. B. Potential significance of the research findings. C. A further explanation of the research summary. D. A reasonable doubt about the research process. 11. What will the follow-up study focus on? A. The origin of Rakus’ intentional self-medication. B. Different medicinal plants used by wild primates. C. Active wound treatment s shared by humans and primates D. The possible influence from Rakus’ family. 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. B 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了人们早就认识到猩猩的高智商，部分原因在于它们的实用技能，比如用工具敲开坚果和寻找昆虫。但新的研究表明，灵长类动物还有另一项方便的技能:故意将草药涂抹在开放的伤口上。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“A male Sumatran orangutan known as Rakus was observed by the research team with a fresh facial wound in June 2022. Three days later, Rakus was witnessed feeding on the stem and leaves of a plant. Thirteen minutes after Rakus had started feeding on it, he began chewing the leaves without swallowing them, then used his fingers to apply the resulting juice directly on to his facial wound. He repeated this behavior for seven minutes and at last fully covered the wound with the chewed leaves. He then continued feeding on the plant for 30 minutes. Over the following days, there were no signs of infection. The wound closed within five days and was healed, with only a faint scar remaining after one month.(2022年6月，研究团队观察到一只名为Rakus的雄性红毛猩猩脸上有一个新的伤口。三天后，人们发现Rakus正在吃一种植物的茎和叶。Rakus开始吃这种植物13分钟后，他开始咀嚼叶子但不咽下，然后用手指将产生的汁液直接涂在脸上的伤口上。他重复这种行为达七分钟，最后用嚼碎的叶子完全覆盖了伤口。随后，他继续吃了这种植物30分钟。在接下来的几天里，没有出现感染的迹象，伤口在五天内闭合并愈合，一个月后仅留下一个淡淡的疤痕。)”可推知，这个团队是通过跟踪研究对象的方式进行研究的。故选B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“However, the new discovery is the first time a wild animal has been observed treating open wounds with a substance known to have medicinal properties. “In the chimpanzee case they used insects and unfortunately it was never found out whether these insects really promote wound healing. Whereas in our case, the orangutan used the plant, and this plant has known medical properties,” said Dr Caroline Schuppli, senior author of the research.(然而，这一新发现是首次观察到野生动物使用已知具有药用性质的物质来治疗开放伤口。“在黑猩猩的例子中，它们使用了昆虫，但不幸的是，从未发现这些昆虫是否真的促进伤口愈合。而在我们的例子中，红毛猩猩使用了这种植物，而这种植物具有已知的医疗属性，”这项研究的主要作者Caroline Schuppli博士说道。)”可知，灵长类动物对草药选择的意识使这次的例子与以往有所不同。故选A。 【10题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第四段“Rakus’s goal-oriented behavior and the medicinal properties of his chosen treatment offer insight into the origins of human wound care-the treatment of which was first mentioned in a medical manuscript dating to 2200BC. “It definitely shows that these basic cognitive capacities that you need to come up with a behaviour like this were present at the time of our last common ancestor most likely,” said Schuppli.(Rakus这种目标导向的行为以及他所选疗法的药用属性，为人类伤口护理的起源提供了见解——这种治疗方法最早在公元前2200年的一部医学手稿中被提及。“这确实表明，这些基本认知能力——即你需要具备这种行为的认知能力——很可能在我们最近的共同祖先的时代就已经存在了，”Schuppli说道。)”可知，第四段主要讲述了研究结果的潜在意义。故选B。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“It remains unclear whether Rakus figured the process out for himself or learned it from another orangutan, although it has not been seen in any other individual.(虽然Rakus的行为尚未在其他个体中被观察到，但尚不清楚Rakus是自己想出这个过程的，还是从另一只红毛猩猩那里学到的。)”可推知，后续研究的重点是Rakus有意自我治疗的起源。故选A。 D Heat waves are becoming more common in parts of the United States — and that means more people running their air conditioners for longer. But those air conditioners can make the problem worse, giving off greenhouse gases as they work that contribute heavily to climate change. SkyCool Systems is trying to break that cycle, using technology that promises to offer buildings an alternative means to cool down in a similar way to how the planet cools itself. “Our planet naturally cools itself by sending heat out in the form of infrared light (红外线) or radiation,” said Eli Goldstein, SkyCool’s cofounder and CEO. “We do this through rooftop panels, which look like solar panels but actually do the opposite, reflecting 97% of the sunlight that hits them and cooling the surface below,” said Goldstein. SkyCool’s model involves fixing a network of pipes below those panels. These pipes are filled with water, which is kept cool by the panels and then flows into an air conditioning system. This process is designed to take pressure off the system’s cooling mechanism. And because the panels cool naturally and don’t need external power to function, it helps the entire system use less electricity. A Grocery Outlet store in California, which has been using SkyCool’s system since last year, says it saw a marked drop in its electrical bills. Jesus Valenzuela, the store manager, estimates that the panels have saved his store roughly $3,000 a month. But perhaps the biggest barrier to making the technology ubiquitous (无处不在的) is its relatively high cost. Increasing production could help bring the cost down, Goldstein said, particularly for developing countries in Asia and Africa where SkyCool hopes to eventually expand. For now, the company is focused on commercial applications of the technology, though it hopes to start setting up panels on the roofs of individual homes. “We’re just excited to be able to use this new technology for good,” Goldstein said. 12. How did Goldstein explain the way their rooftop panels work? A. By citing an expert’s words. B. By making comparisons. C. By analyzing cause and effect. D. By describing the process in detail. 13. What is the function of the pipes in SkyCool’s model? A. To store cold water to help cool the panels. B. To help ease the water pressure of the air conditioning. C. To power the panels by making use of flowing water. D. To feed cold water into the air conditioning system. 14. How might Jesus Valenzuela view SkyCool’s system? A. It’s pretty effective. B. It has increased sales for his store. C It will go out of style quickly. D. It will cost too much to set up. 15. What does SkyCool expect of its system? A It’ll bring in a good profit for the company. B. It’ll gain popularity in developed countries. C. It’ll take the place of air conditioners. D. It’ll be accessible to common households. 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。SkyCool系统通过屋顶面板来让建筑物冷却下来，这能够缓解温室效应，也能够达到节能的效果。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句中的“We do this through rooftop panels, which look like solar panels but actually do the opposite, reflecting 97% of the sunlight that hits them and cooling the surface below(我们通过屋顶面板来做到这一点，它看起来像太阳能电池板，但实际上相反，反射97%的阳光照射到它们并冷却下面的表面)”和倒第二句“Our planet naturally cools itself by sending heat out in the form of infrared light (红外线) or radiation(我们的星球通过以红外光或辐射的形式发出热量来自然地冷却自己)”可推知，戈尔茨坦通过作比较来解释他们屋顶面板的工作方式。故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段第二句“These pipes are filled with water, which is kept cool by the panels and then flows into an air conditioning system.(这些管道里装满了水，这些水通过面板保持凉爽，然后流入空调系统)”可知，在SkyCool的模型中管道的功能是给空调系统注入冷水。故选D。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段最后一句“Jesus Valenzuela, the store manager, estimates that the panels have saved his store roughly $3,000 a month.(商店经理赫苏斯·巴伦苏埃拉估计，这些电池板每月为他的商店节省了大约3,000美元)”可推知，苏斯·巴伦苏埃可能认为SkyCool的系统是高效的。故选A。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段倒第二句“For now, the company is focused on commercial applications of the technology, though it hopes to start setting up panels on the roofs of individual homes.(目前，该公司专注于这项技术的商业应用，尽管它希望开始在个人住宅的屋顶上安装太阳能电池板)”可知，SkyCool对它的系统的期望是普通家庭都可以使用。故选D。 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。 Overtourism Is For Real: How Can You Help? Travel promotes understanding, expands our minds, makes us better people, and boosts local economies and communities, but the rapid growth of travel has led to overtourism in certain regions and destinations. ___16___ Certainly not. The loss of what travel offers would be unacceptable in today’s world. Here are some tips on making wise decisions to minimize pressure on the places we visit and improve our experience. ●Choose mindfully. Overvisited destinations are that way for a reason: they’re special. With so many online posts featuring the same places, it’s easy to feel like you’re missing out. Go somewhere only when the landscape, culture or food deeply draws you. ___17___ ●Get creative. The best way to ease pressure on over-touristed destinations is to go somewhere else. Though overtourism is described as a problem affecting the entire world, it’s actually concentrated to a small number of extremely popular spots. That means you have tons of less-visited options to choose from. ___18___ Why not try a regional alternative or check out a popular destination’s lesser-known sights? ●___19___ Minimize impact and maximize experience by skipping major holidays or rush hour. You’ll compete with fewer tourists, save money, experience a different side of a popular place, and boost the economy when tourism is traditionally slower. Visiting a place that others call home is a privilege (荣幸). Do your part to preserve what makes a destination special in the first place. ___20___ You may be amazed how much closer you’ll feel to the people there. A. Visit during off-peak times. B. So, should we stop traveling? C. Travel for you and no one else. D. Can overtourism be avoided then? E. You can still find relatively undiscovered places. F. You’ll find yourself virtually alone, or close to it. G. Consider giving back to the communities you’re visiting. 【答案】16. B 17. C 18. E 19. A 20.

The vase dropped to the floor and a large piece broke off. What made Ben more upset was that the vase was not a common decoration but an antique, which was handed down through generations from the 18th century. It was also his mother’s favourite possession. To cover his terrible action, the terrified boy glued (用胶水粘贴) the pieces together hastily and put the vase back to its place. As the mother herself dusted (擦拭) the vase every day, she naturally noticed the cracks (裂纹) that evening. To her surprise, the repair work was actually very good. At dinner time, she asked her boy if he broke the vase. Fearing punishment, Ben said that a neighbor’s cat jumped in from the window and he couldn’t drive it away no matter how hard he tried. The cat ran around the living room and finally knocked the vase off its shelf. His mother was quite clear that her son was lying, for all the windows were closed before she left for work each morning and opened after she returned. However, in the face of her son’s nervous eyes and the suspicious looks of the other family members, Ben’s mother remained calm. She realized she shouldn’t just simply blame and punish her son for lying. She came up with another idea. Before going to bed, Ben found a note from his mother in his room, asking him to go to the study (书房) at once. The boy thought he would now be punished but, as he had already lied, he was determined to deny everything, no matter how angry his mum became. In the study, his mother’s face showed no sign of anger. Seeing her son push the door open and cautiously enter, she took a box of chocolates out of a drawer and gave him a chocolate. 注意：续写词数应为150左右。 The mother said, “This chocolate is a reward for your imagination: a window-opening cat!” _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Now with a lot of chocolates in hand, Ben’s bad attitude disappeared. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】The mother said, “This chocolate is a reward for your imagination: a window-opening cat!” Hearing her sincere appreciation, Ben flushed. Surprisingly, the mother took out another chocolate. “This one is for the delicate repair work you did to the broken vase.” She also added that she was moved by how much the boy cherished the family possessions. At these hearty remarks, Ben felt a flow of shame through his veins. The mother then calmly encouraged Ben to reward himself more chocolate for any other merits he had displayed in this event. He did as was told to, confessing that he was calm when facing the accident. Now with a lot of chocolates in hand, Ben’s bad attitude disappeared. Nervousness welled up inside him. After what seemed a long time, he looked up at his mother, admitted that it was not the cat but he that had broken the vase accidentally and asked for punishment. “I’m sorry I lied to you, mum. Please take back the chocolate.” Feeling so ashamed, Ben couldn’t hold back his tears. He opened his palm wide, ready to return the chocolate. To his surprise, however, his mother placed the whole bag of chocolate in his hand, smiling. “Honesty deserves the best reward, my dear.” 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了Ben不小心打碎了一个传承下来的古董花瓶，并试图用胶水修复。当被母亲问及是否打碎了花瓶时，他谎称是一只邻居的猫打碎的。母亲发现他在说谎，但她没有直接惩罚他，而是通过奖励巧克力来引导他说出真相。 【详解】1.段落续写： ① 由第一段首句内容“妈妈说：‘这块巧克力是对你想象力的奖励：一只开窗的猫！’”可知，第一段可以描述母亲如何通过奖励巧克力的方式，逐步引导Ben认识到自己的错误，并鼓励他承认真相。 ② 由第二段首句内容“现在手里有了很多巧克力，本的坏脾气消失了。”可知，第二段可以描述Ben在母亲的引导下，最终承认了自己的错误，并向母亲道歉，同时母亲以宽容和理解的态度接受了他的道歉，并再次强调诚实的重要性。 2.续写线索： 母亲奖励巧克力——母亲赞赏Ben的“创意”——母亲逐步引导Ben认识错误——Ben感到羞愧——Ben承认错误并道歉——母亲接受道歉并强调诚实的重要性 3.词汇激活： 行为类： ① 珍视：cherish/treasure ② 展示：display/show/demonstrate ③ 承认：confess/admit 情绪类： ① 羞愧：shame/abashment ② 紧张：nervousness/anxiety ③ 惊讶：surprise/astonishment 【点睛】[高分句型1] Hearing her sincere appreciation, Ben flushed.
