B As my wife puts it, “Animals have overtaken our lives.” I was on the air last week when Daisy, our dog, ate a bittersweet chocolate bar heartily. We hide chocolate from her; it can be dangerous for dogs. But Daisy is the Hercule Poirot of hidden sweets. An empty wrapper in her mouth told the tale. Our family rushed Daisy to a vet clinic, where — well, I’ll spare you the details. Daisy is fine now, but our hearts are just restarting. We are also caring for a huge, white cat we’ve named Gato Blanco. He claws furniture on his hind (后部的) legs, like Catzilla tearing down a Tokyo bridge. Every chair in our apartment is now covered with sheets, towels, or plastic wrap. We keep a window open, no matter the weather, because one of our daughters is allergic to cats. But she wants to keep Gat o close, even as he knocks photos, flowers, pens and my microphone off tables, with a smart forehand. Our feline lodger (猫科房客) also climbed onto a planter outside our apartment and strolled over to the other side of the building, seven floors up. Is that Spider-Man? No-it’s Gato! Daisy the dog sits beneath our dinner table, quivering and blinking her large, dew y eyes. Some of us may let a few pieces of food fall her way from time to time. We can’t let her get too excited, though, because she has a tendency to... well, more details to spare. We keep towels handy for such episodes of excitement. Gato Blanco, meanwhile, leaps onto our table. But not to eat, just to hang with the cool kids, our daughters. “Hey, how was your day,” I imagine him saying. “We gonna watch something after dinner?” Our family may complain as we sneeze, mop, and search the floor for our missing pens. But we also hold our animals close as they help us laugh, marvel, and care for them, and for each other. Our lives have been overtaken by our animals. And we’re having a troublesome and wonderful time. 4. What do we know about Daisy? A. She is allergic to cats. B. She has a heart problem. C. She doesn’t get excited easily. D. She is good at finding sweets. 5. What can Gat o do? A Fly like Spider-Man. B. Make a mess of the room. C. Talk like a real human. D. Tear down a Tokyo bridge. 6 Which of the words can best describe the writer’s feeling towards their animals? A. Bittersweet. B. Concerned. C. Content. D. Depressed. 7. What is the purpose of the text? A. To warn readers against keeping pets at home. B. To give advice on what species of animals to buy. C. To share their stories and feelings about keeping pets. D. To entertain readers with dark humour jokes about pets. C Students have submitted more than 22 million papers that may have used generative AI in the past year, new data provided by plagiarism (剽窃) detection company Turnitin shows. A year ago, Turnitin introduced an AI writing detection tool that was trained on its database of papers written by students as well as other AI-generated texts. Turnitin found that 11 percent of the submissions may contain AI-written language in 20 percent of its content, with 3 percent of the total papers reviewed having 80 percent or more AI writing. ChatGPT’s launch was met with fears that the English class essay would die. The chatbot can process information near-instantly — but that doesn’t mean it always gets it right. Generative AI has been known to create its own facts and cite academic references that don’t actually exist.Generative AI chatbots have also been caught producing discriminatory (歧视性的) text on gender and race. Despite those disadvantages, students have used chatbots for research, and organizing ideas. Traces of chatbots have even been found in published academic writing. Detecting the use of generative AI is tricky. It’s not as easy as marking plagiarism, because generated text is still original text. Plus, there’s a slight difference to how students use generative AI; some may ask chatbots to write their papers for them in large parts or in full, while others may use the tools as an aid or a brainstorm partner. Detection tools themselves have a risk of discrimination. English language learners may be more likely to set them off; a 2023 study found a 61.3 percent false positive rate when evaluating Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) exams with seven different AI detectors. “This is hard. I understand why people want a tool,” says Emily Isaacs, executive director of the Office of Faculty Excellence at Montclair State. But Isaacs says the university is concerned about potentially discriminatory results from AI detectors, as well as the fact that the tools can’t provide confirmation the way they can with plagiarism. 8. What did Turnitin find? A. All submitted papers were written by generative AI. B AI wrote 80% of the content of the papers they had collected. C. AI could only be used to improve language instead of content of papers. D. AI may have created one fifth of the content among 11% of the submitted papers. 9. What can we learn about generative AI? A. It sometimes produces discriminatory content. B. It will surely lead to the death of English class essays. C. It’s getting popular for its accuracy and quick response. D. It has been officially accepted in published academic writing. 10. What do Paragraphs 4-5 mainly focus on? A. The ways to detect plagiarism in paper writing. B. The challenges of using plagiarism detection tools. C. The differences between plagiarism and original writing. D. The advantages of applying AI detectors to fighting plagiarism. 11. How does Emily Isaacs respond to the use of detection tools? A. She supports it. B. She’s against it. C. She doesn’t care. D. She’s cautious. D A recent study by UCLA Health discovered that women who feel lonely show brain activity in areas linked to cravings and the drive to eat particularly when viewing images of high-calorie foods like sugary treats. These women also displayed unhealthy eating habits and suffered from poor mental health. Arpana Gupta, Ph. D., a researcher and co-director of the UCLA Goodman-LuskinMicrobiome Center, wanted to research the negative impacts of loneliness, especially as people continue to be working remotely after the COVID-19 pandemic, and how the brain interacts with social isolation, eating habits, and mental health. While it is established that obesity is linked to depression and anxiety and that overeating is understood to be a coping mechanism (机制) against loneliness, Gupta wanted to observe the brain pathways associated with these feelings and behaviors. The researchers surveyed 93 women about their support system and their feelings of loneliness and isolation, then separated them into two groups: those who scored high on the perceived social loneliness scale, and those who scored low. The researchers found that women who had higher levels of social loneliness tended to have higher fat mass, lower diet quality, reward-based eating, and uncontrolled eating, and increased levels of anxiety and depression. The women were then shown pictures of food versus non-food, sweet food versus non-food, and savory food versus non-food. MRI scans recorded the participants’ brain activity while they viewed these images. The researchers found that the group of women who perceived themselves to be lonely experienced increased activation in regions of the brain associated with greater drive to eat sugary foods, and decreased activation in the brain region associated with self-control toward eating behaviors. “These findings are interesting because it provides evidence for what we intuitively (直觉地) know,” Gupta said. “When people are alone or lonely, it impacts more than how they are feeling; they underreport what they eat, and their desire to eat unhealthy foods.” 12. Which word is closest in meaning to “craving” in Paragraph 1? A. Desire. B. Willingness. C. Discipline. D. Ambition. 13. What’s the function of Paragraph 2? A. Providing earlier research results. B. Explaining the research methods. C. Introducing the research background. D. Telling the significance of the research. 14. Which of the following statements matches the findings of this research? A. The lonelier women feel, the less they eat. B. Obesity is linked to depression and anxiety. C. Loneliness can drive women to eat more sugary food. D. Lonely women often lie about their mental problems. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. Eating the Way to Happiness B. Feeding the “Lonely Brain” C. Loneliness Leads to Obesity D. Food Sweetens Sad Souls 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。 No matter where you are on the planet, the effects of the climate crisis are vast and real. We know individual actions can only get us so far, and solving the issue of climate change is the job of governments. _____16_____ Here are some tips for what we individuals can do to help work toward a more sustainable future. Switch to climate friendly home appliances By using home appliances and vehicles that run on electricity, we can help reduce our carbon footprint and leave more fossil fuels in the ground. Here are a few appliances to consider, such as clothing dryers with the “Energy Star” label and water heaters that use heat pump technology. _____17_____ So don’t feel like you have to change out your appliances overnight.

Freeze produce you can’t use right away About 8% of greenhouse gas emissions come from wasted food, and roughly half of all food waste occurs during “the consumption stage”. One of the best tools to help reduce wasted food? The freezer. If you’re not ready to use fresh fruit and vegetables right away, freeze them. ____19____ Cut back on plastic The plastics problem is overwhelming. ____20____ Are you using a bottle of body wash? Replace it with a bar of soap. Bring your own bags for groceries instead of packing your goods in plastic bags, or your favorite reusable cup to your local coffee shop. A. This locks in flavor and nutrients. B. But we also know that our decisions matter. C. And cows themselves release a lot of methane. D. That means we should not use the old appliances any more. E. Making these upgrades to your home and lifestyle will cost money. F. The most effective thing you can do is to figure out how much you use. G. So governments should make policies to solve climate change problem. 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。 The doorbell rang one mid-December evening.

I realized that my four-year-old sister, Tammy, was staring down at me. I struggled to push her off me as she bounced on my legs. She screamed, and then ran out of my room. It was as if Tammy never did anything wrong. If Tammy got angry, Mom would say she was trying to get her point across. When Tammy broke a plate, Dad said she was just “helping” me empty the dishwasher. When Tammy scribbled (乱涂乱画) all over the wall, instead of scolding her, my parents chuckled and said, “She’s turning into an artist just like you, Tara.” We were flying to Utah to visit my grandma for the Fourth of July. Every year I draw Grandma a picture for her birthday, but I sighed as I considered about what picture I should draw this time. When we walked off the plane, I was relieved to see the smiling face of my grandma. We raced over to her. “Hi, sweetheart.” Grandma got down on one knee to hug Tammy and then swung her in the air. Tammy screamed with laughter. Then Grandma hugged me. “It’s so good to see you too, Tara.” After six hours of flight, I was exhausted—six hours of listening to Tammy scream with delight again and again and again. I wanted to be alone, so I went outside with my sketchbook and colored pencils. Looking at the scenery, I felt inspired to work on Grandma’s drawing. As I admired the shading on the mountains and the swirls of the sunset, I smiled to myself and thought, this is the best picture I have ever made. Before I finished my picture, Mom was calling me inside for dinner. When I walked back into the room, my heart stopped. Tammy was lying on the bed, scribbling on a piece of paper. When Tammy saw me frozen in the doorway, she jumped from the bed. She ran over to me and grinned. “I drew you a picture.” she shouted. “Out!” I screamed angrily, and she ran out of the room. I ran over to the bed. I picked up the paper, and it was just as I’d feared. My drawing had black scribbles all over it. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右; 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Mom appeared in the doorway with Tammy by her side. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I gathered up the courage to walk over to Grandma. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1-5 ABACA 6-10ACCAC 11-15CBCCA 16-20CABAB 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 衢州市 2024年 6月高二年级教学质量检测试卷 英 语 考生须知： 1.全卷分试卷和答题卷。考试结束后，将答题卷上交。 2.试卷共10页，分第Ⅰ卷(选择题)和第Ⅱ卷(非选择题)两部分。满分150分，考试时间120 分钟。 3.请将答案做在答题卷的相应位置上，写在试卷上无效。 第Ⅰ卷 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。现在你有5秒钟的时间阅读第一小题的有关内容。 1.

We hide chocolate from her; it can be dangerous for dogs. But Daisy is the Hercule Poirot of hidden sweets. An empty wrapper in her mouth told the tale. Our family rushed Daisy to a vet clinic, where — well, I’ll spare you the details. Daisy is fine now, but our hearts are just restarting. We are also caring for a huge, white cat we’ve named Gato Blanco. He claws furniture on his hind (后部的) legs, like Catzilla tearing down a Tokyo bridge. Every chair in our apartment is now covered with sheets, towels, or plastic wrap. We keep a window open, no matter the weather, because one of our daughters is allergic to cats. But she wants to keep Gat o close, even as he knocks photos, flowers, pens and my microphone off tables, with a smart forehand. Our feline lodger (猫科房客) also climbed onto a planter outside our apartment and strolled over to the other side of the building, seven floors up. Is that Spider-Man? No-it’s Gato! Daisy the dog sits beneath our dinner table, quivering and blinking her large, dew y eyes. Some of us may let a few pieces of food fall her way from time to time. We can’t let her get too excited, though, because she has a tendency to... well, more details to spare. We keep towels handy for such episodes of excitement. Gato Blanco, meanwhile, leaps onto our table. But not to eat, just to hang with the cool kids, our daughters. “Hey, how was your day,” I imagine him saying. “We gonna watch something after dinner?” Our family may complain as we sneeze, mop, and search the floor for our missing pens. But we also hold our animals close as they help us laugh, marvel, and care for them, and for each other. Our lives have been overtaken by our animals. And we’re having a troublesome and wonderful time. 4. What do we know about Daisy? A. She is allergic to cats. B. She has a heart problem. C. She doesn’t get excited easily. D. She is good at finding sweets. 5. What can Gat o do? A. Fly like Spider-Man. B. Make a mess of the room. C. Talk like a real human. D. Tear down a Tokyo bridge. 6.

But we also hold our animals close as they help us laugh, marvel, and care for them, and for each other. Our lives have been overtaken by our animals. And we’re having a troublesome and wonderful time.”（我们家人可能会在打喷嚏、拖地和寻找丢失的笔时抱怨。但我们也会把我们的动物抱得紧紧的，因为他们帮助我们笑，让我们惊叹，照顾他们，互相照顾。我们的生活已经被我们的动物占据了。我们过得既麻烦又美好。）可知，作者对他们的动物有着苦乐参半的感情。故选A。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“As my wife puts it, “Animals have overtaken our lives.””（正如我妻子所说，“动物已经主宰了我们的生活。”）以及文章最后一段“Our family may complain as we sneeze, mop, and search the floor for our missing pens. But we also hold our animals close as they help us laugh, marvel, and care for them, and for each other. Our lives have been overtaken by our animals.

A year ago, Turnitin introduced an AI writing detection tool that was trained on its database of papers written by students as well as other AI-generated texts. Turnitin found that 11 percent of the submissions may contain AI-written language in 20 percent of its content, with 3 percent of the total papers reviewed having 80 percent or more AI writing. ChatGPT’s launch was met with fears that the English class essay would die. The chatbot can process information near-instantly — but that doesn’t mean it always gets it right. Generative AI has been known to create its own facts and cite academic references that don’t actually exist.Generative AI chatbots have also been caught producing discriminatory (歧视性的) text on gender and race. Despite those disadvantages, students have used chatbots for research, and organizing ideas. Traces of chatbots have even been found in published academic writing. Detecting the use of generative AI is tricky. It’s not as easy as marking plagiarism, because generated text is still original text. Plus, there’s a slight difference to how students use generative AI; some may ask chatbots to write their papers for them in large parts or in full, while others may use the tools as an aid or a brainstorm partner. Detection tools themselves have a risk of discrimination. English language learners may be more likely to set them off; a 2023 study found a 61.3 percent false positive rate when evaluating Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) exams with seven different AI detectors. “This is hard. I understand why people want a tool,” says Emily Isaacs, executive director of the Office of Faculty Excellence at Montclair State. But Isaacs says the university is concerned about potentially discriminatory results from AI detectors, as well as the fact that the tools can’t provide confirmation the way they can with plagiarism. 8. What did Turnitin find? A. All submitted papers were written by generative AI. B. AI wrote 80% of the content of the papers they had collected. C. AI could only be used to improve language instead of content of papers. D. AI may have created one fifth of the content among 11% of the submitted papers. 9. What can we learn about generative AI? A. It sometimes produces discriminatory content. B. It will surely lead to the death of English class essays. C. It’s getting popular for its accuracy and quick response. D. It has been officially accepted in published academic writing. 10. What do Paragraphs 4-5 mainly focus on? A. The ways to detect plagiarism in paper writing. B. The challenges of using plagiarism detection tools. C. The differences between plagiarism and original writing. D. The advantages of applying AI detectors to fighting plagiarism. 11. How does Emily Isaacs respond to the use of detection tools? A. She supports it. B. She’s against it. C. She doesn’t care. D. She’s cautious. 【答案】8. D 9. A 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述在过去一年里，学生们提交了超过2200万篇可能使用了生成人工智能的论文。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第二段“Turnitin found that 11 percent of the submissions may contain AI-written language in 20 percent of its content, with 3 percent of the total papers reviewed having 80 percent or more AI writing. (Turnitin发现，11%的投稿可能在20%的内容中包含人工智能书面语言，在审查的论文总数中，3%的论文包含80%或更多的人工智能文字。)”可知，人工智能可能在提交的11%的论文中创造了五分之一的内容。故选D项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第三段“Generative AI chatbots have also been caught producing discriminatory (歧视性的) text on gender and race. (一代又一代的人工智能聊天机器人也被发现在性别和种族方面制作歧视性文本。)”可知，生成人工智能有时会产生歧视性内容。故选A项。 【10题详解】 主旨大意题。由文章第四段“Detecting the use of generative AI is tricky. It’s not as easy as marking plagiarism, because generated text is still original text. Plus, there’s a slight difference to how students use generative AI; some may ask chatbots to write their papers for them in large parts or in full, while others may use the tools as an aid or a brainstorm partner. (检测生成人工智能的使用是很棘手的。这并不像标记抄袭那么容易，因为生成的文本仍然是原始文本。此外，学生使用生成人工智能的方式略有不同；有些人可能会要求聊天机器人为他们撰写论文的大部分或全部，而另一些人可能会将这些工具用作帮助或集思广益的伙伴。)”以及第五段“Detection tools themselves have a risk of discrimination. English language learners may be more likely to set them off; a 2023 study found a 61.3 percent false positive rate when evaluating Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) exams with seven different AI detectors. (检测工具本身就有被歧视的风险。英语学习者可能更容易引起他们的兴趣；2023年的一项研究发现，在使用七种不同的人工智能检测器评估托福考试时，假阳性率为61.3%。)”可知，这两段主要讲使用剽窃检测工具的挑战。故选B项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。由文章最后一段“‘This is hard. I understand why people want a tool,’ says Emily Isaacs, executive director of the Office of Faculty Excellence at Montclair State. But Isaacs says the university is concerned about potentially discriminatory results from AI detectors, as well as the fact that the tools can’t provide confirmation the way they can with plagiarism. (蒙特克莱尔州立大学学院卓越办公室执行主任Emily Isaacs说，‘这很难，我理解人们为什么想要一个工具。’ 但 Isaacs表示，该大学担心人工智能检测器可能产生的歧视性结果，以及这些工具无法像对待抄袭那样提供确认的事实。)”可知， Isaacs对检测工具的使用持谨慎态度。故选D项。 D A recent study by UCLA Health discovered that women who feel lonely show brain activity in areas linked to cravings and the drive to eat, particularly when viewing images of high-calorie foods like sugary treats. These women also displayed unhealthy eating habits and suffered from poor mental health. Arpana Gupta, Ph. D., a researcher and co-director of the UCLA Goodman-LuskinMicrobiome Center, wanted to research the negative impacts of loneliness, especially as people continue to be working remotely after the COVID-19 pandemic, and how the brain interacts with social isolation, eating habits, and mental health. While it is established that obesity is linked to depression and anxiety and that overeating is understood to be a coping mechanism (机制) against loneliness, Gupta wanted to observe the brain pathways associated with these feelings and behaviors. The researchers surveyed 93 women about their support system and their feelings of loneliness and isolation, then separated them into two groups: those who scored high on the perceived social loneliness scale, and those who scored low. The researchers found that women who had higher levels of social loneliness tended to have higher fat mass, lower diet quality, reward-based eating, and uncontrolled eating, and increased levels of anxiety and depression. The women were then shown pictures of food versus non-food, sweet food versus non-food, and savory food versus non-food. MRI scans recorded the participants’ brain activity while they viewed these images. The researchers found that the group of women who perceived themselves to be lonely experienced increased activation in regions of the brain associated with greater drive to eat sugary foods, and decreased activation in the brain region associated with self-control toward eating behaviors. “These findings are interesting because it provides evidence for what we intuitively (直觉地) know,” Gupta said. “When people are alone or lonely, it impacts more than how they are feeling; they underreport what they eat, and their desire to eat unhealthy foods.” 12. Which word is closest in meaning to “craving” in Paragraph 1? A. Desire. B. Willingness. C. Discipline. D. Ambition. 13. What’s the function of Paragraph 2? A. Providing earlier research results. B. Explaining the research methods. C. Introducing the research background. D. Telling the significance of the research. 14. Which of the following statements matches the findings of this research? A. The lonelier women feel, the less they eat. B. Obesity is linked to depression and anxiety. C. Loneliness can drive women to eat more sugary food. D. Lonely women often lie about their mental problems. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. Eating the Way to Happiness B. Feeding the “Lonely Brain” C. Loneliness Leads to Obesity D. Food Sweetens Sad Souls 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. C 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是一项研究发现感到孤独的女性大脑中与渴望和食欲有关的区域活跃，尤其是在看到含糖食物等高热量食物的图像时。 【12题详解】 词义猜测题。根据划线单词前的“A recent study by UCLA Health discovered that women who feel lonely show brain activity in areas linked to…and the drive to eat, particularly when viewing images of high-calorie foods like sugary treats. (加州大学洛杉矶分校健康中心最近的一项研究发现，感到孤独的女性大脑中与……和食欲有关的区域活跃，尤其是在看到含糖食物等高热量食物的图像时。)”可知，研究发现感到孤独的女性大脑中与食欲相关的区域活跃，尤其是看到含糖食物等高热食物的图像时，划线单词与“the drive to eat”为并列关系，由此可知，划线单词的意思与“欲望”意义相近。故选A项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Arpana Gupta, Ph. D., a researcher and co-director of the UCLA Goodman-LuskinMicrobiome Center, wanted to research the negative impacts of loneliness, especially as people continue to be working remotely after the COVID-19 pandemic, and how the brain interacts with social isolation, eating habits, and mental health.(加州大学洛杉矶分校古德曼-卢斯金微生物组中心的研究员兼联合主任阿帕纳·古普塔博士想研究孤独的负面影响，特别是在COVID-19大流行后人们继续远程工作的情况下，以及大脑如何与社会孤立、饮食习惯和心理健康相互作用。)”可知，该项研究是想研究孤独的负面影响的，并且提出了这项研究是在COVID-19大流行后人们继续远程工作的情况下进行，由此可推断，第二段是介绍了该项研究的背景。故选C项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据首段中的“A recent study by UCLA Health discovered that women who feel lonely show brain activity in areas linked to cravings and the drive to eat, particularly when viewing images of high-calorie foods like sugary treats.(加州大学洛杉矶分校健康中心最近的一项研究发现，感到孤独的女性大脑中与渴望和食欲有关的区域活跃，尤其是在看到含糖食物等高热量食物的图像时。)”结合倒数第二段中的“The researchers found that the group of women who perceived themselves to be lonely experienced increased activation in regions of the brain associated with greater drive to eat sugary foods, and decreased activation in the brain region associated with self-control toward eating behaviors.(研究人员发现，那些认为自己孤独的女性大脑中与吃含糖食物的欲望相关的区域活跃度增加，而与饮食行为自我控制相关的大脑区域活跃度降低。)”可知，这项研究发现，认为自己孤独的女性大脑中与吃含糖食物的欲望相关的区域活跃度增加，由此可知，孤独会驱使女性吃更多含糖的食物，所以C项讲述的内容与研究发现相匹配。故选C项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据首段中的“A recent study by UCLA Health discovered that women who feel lonely show brain activity in areas linked to cravings and the drive to eat, particularly when viewing images of high-calorie foods like sugary treats.(加州大学洛杉矶分校健康中心最近的一项研究发现，感到孤独的女性大脑中与渴望和食欲有关的区域活跃，尤其是在看到含糖食物等高热量食物的图像时。)”结合尾段中的“When people are alone or lonely, it impacts more than how they are feeling; they underreport what they eat, and their desire to eat unhealthy foods.(当人们独自一人或孤独时，它的影响不仅仅是他们的感受；他们低估了自己吃了什么，以及他们对不健康食品的渴望。)”可知，当人们感到孤独时，不仅仅影响到的是他们的感受，还有他们对不健康食品的渴望，综合以上信息可知，本文主要讲述的是一项研究发现人在孤独时，大脑中与渴望和食欲有关的区域活跃，所以题目“喂饱孤独的大脑”与本文的内容一致，且概括了文章的主题，适合作为最佳标题。故选B项。 第二节 (共5小题; 每小题2.5分, 满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 No matter where you are on the planet, the effects of the climate crisis are vast and real.

Freeze produce you can’t use right away About 8% of greenhouse gas emissions come from wasted food, and roughly half of all food waste occurs during “the consumption stage”. One of the best tools to help reduce wasted food? The freezer. If you’re not ready to use fresh fruit and vegetables right away, freeze them. ____19____ Cut back on plastic The plastics problem is overwhelming. ____20____ Are you using a bottle of body wash? Replace it with a bar of soap. Bring your own bags for groceries instead of packing your goods in plastic bags, or your favorite reusable cup to your local coffee shop. A. This locks in flavor and nutrients. B. But we also know that our decisions matter. C. And cows themselves release a lot of methane. D. That means we should not use the old appliances any more. E.

What 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了中国年轻一代消费者中节俭美德的回归。 【36题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：艾媒研究发布的数据显示，72.49%的中国年轻人更喜欢存钱，而不是过度消费。“(release) by iiMedia Research”作后置定语，release(发布)是非谓语动词，与其逻辑主语data之间是被动关系，用过去分词表被动。故填released。 37题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：与他们节俭意识根植于记忆中的父母相比，中国年轻人的节俭是一种选择，而不是不可避免的情况。空格处单词引导非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词their parents，关系词代替先行词在定语从句中作sense of frugality的定语，意思是“他们父母的节俭意识”，应使用具有所属关系的关系代词whose引导该定语从句。故填whose。 【38题详解】 考查连词。句意：这种新形式的节俭并不是完全否定消费主义，而是一种明智的消费方式，旨在实现商品价格和质量之间的平衡。not...but...是复合连词，意为“不是……而是……”。故填but。 【39题详解】 考查名词。句意：这一新趋势推动了中国二手经济的快速增长，因为年轻消费者的注意力从追逐新事物转向回收旧物品。提示词作宾语，用名词growth，意为“增长”，不可数名词。故填growth。 【40题详解】 考查介词。句意：这一新趋势推动了中国二手经济的快速增长，因为年轻消费者的注意力从追逐新事物转向回收旧物品。from...to...是固定搭配，意为“从……到……”。故填to。 【41题详解】 考查时态语态和主谓一致。句意：一份报告显示，二手商品市场价值从2015年的3000亿元上升到2020年的1万亿元以上，预计到2025年将达到3万亿元。expect(预计)是并列谓语动词，与主语the market value(市场价值)之间是被动关系，结合句意，描述目前对未来的预测，应使用一般现在时态，又因主语是不可数名词，谓语动词应使用单数形式。综上，谓语应用一般现在时的被动语态，单数形式。故填is expected。 【42题详解】 考查冠词。句意：尽管有着省钱这一共同目标，但节俭的生活实际上是一种低成本的生活。特指省钱这一共同目标，用定冠词the限定。故填the。 【43题详解】 考查副词。句意：尽管有着省钱这一共同目标，但节俭的生活实际上是一种低成本的生活。提示词修饰整个句子，做评注性状语，用副词actually，意为“实际上”。故填actually。 【44题详解】 考查时态语态和主谓一致。句意：这种通常伴随着购物经历的短暂兴奋对今天的中国年轻人来说吸引力不大。accompany(伴随，与……一起发生)是定语从句中谓语动词，与主语which(即先行词excitement)之间是主动关系，句中有时间状语often，描述习惯性行为，应使用一般现在时态，又因主语是不可数名词，所以谓语动词应使用单数形式。综上，谓语应用一般现在时的主动语态，单数形式。故填accompanies。 【45题详解】 考查主语从句。句意：真正吸引他们注意力的是战略性消费和储蓄带来的成就感。“ truly attracts their attention”是主语从句，从句缺少主语，表示“吸引他们注意力的事情”，用连接代词what引导该从句；句首单词首字母大写。故填What。 第四部分 写作 (共两节，满分40分) 第一节 (满分15分) 46. 假定你是李华，一个月前参加了“Healthy Life”杂志社组织的“健康生活方式选择”主题夏令营活动。请你给该杂志社编辑写封信反馈你参加夏令营前后的变化，内容包括： 1.之前的困扰； 2.采取的行动； 3.收获和感受。 注意： 1.写作词数应为80左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Dear Editor, _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours truly, Li Hua 【答案】Dear Eiditor, As I took part in the summer camp about health and lifestyle choices, I started to analyze them seriously, especially playing games, the unhealthy way I relaxed myself, and its effects on my life.

I realized that my four-year-old sister, Tammy, was staring down at me. I struggled to push her off me as she bounced on my legs. She screamed, and then ran out of my room. It was as if Tammy never did anything wrong. If Tammy got angry, Mom would say she was trying to get her point across. When Tammy broke a plate, Dad said she was just “helping” me empty the dishwasher. When Tammy scribbled (乱涂乱画) all over the wall, instead of scolding her, my parents chuckled and said, “She’s turning into an artist just like you, Tara.” We were flying to Utah to visit my grandma for the Fourth of July. Every year I draw Grandma a picture for her birthday, but I sighed as I considered about what picture I should draw this time. When we walked off the plane, I was relieved to see the smiling face of my grandma. We raced over to her. “Hi, sweetheart.” Grandma got down on one knee to hug Tammy and then swung her in the air. Tammy screamed with laughter. Then Grandma hugged me. “It’s so good to see you too, Tara.” After six hours of flight, I was exhausted—six hours of listening to Tammy scream with delight again and again and again. I wanted to be alone, so I went outside with my sketchbook and colored pencils. Looking at the scenery, I felt inspired to work on Grandma’s drawing. As I admired the shading on the mountains and the swirls of the sunset, I smiled to myself and thought, this is the best picture I have ever made. Before I finished my picture, Mom was calling me inside for dinner. When I walked back into the room, my heart stopped. Tammy was lying on the bed, scribbling on a piece of paper. When Tammy saw me frozen in the doorway, she jumped from the bed. She ran over to me and grinned. “I drew you a picture.” she shouted. “Out!” I screamed angrily, and she ran out of the room. I ran over to the bed. I picked up the paper, and it was just as I’d feared. My drawing had black scribbles all over it. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右; 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Mom appeared in the doorway with Tammy by her side. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I gathered up the courage to walk over to Grandma. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Mom appeared in the doorway with Tammy by her side. Tammy was crying, tears rolling down her cheeks. Mom’s gaze shifted to my picture, which I held with shaking hands. She gently pushed Tammy out of the room. She shut the door and sat down next to me,“Tara,”she whispered,“I’m so sorry, I know you worked hard on it. Tammy is challenging sometimes, but your yelling at her doesn’t solve anything. ” It felt as if a dam inside of me broke. I signed and walked out of the room with my picture. I gathered up the courage to walk over to Grandma. Grandma looked up at me, her eyes sparkling. I handed her the picture I had drawn, the one that Tammy had ruined. Grandma took it into her hands and said, “Oh, Tara, I love it!” She smiled at me. “Do you know why I love it so much? This picture represents the bond you and Tammy share. If you look closely at the picture, there was a faint picture of two girls smiling and holding hands. ”I watched Tammy from a distance. I had been so worried about not having the perfect fourth July vacation that I forgot about what mattered most. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。作者画了一幅画，要作为生日礼物送给奶奶。然而，未完成的画作被四岁的妹妹在上面乱画一通。作者非常生气，将妹妹赶出了房间。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由续写第一段首句“妈妈出现在门口，塔米在她身边。”可以预测续写第一段主要内容：妈妈解释抱怨无济于事，作者情绪奔溃。 ②由第二段首句“我鼓起勇气走向奶奶。”可以预测续写第二段主要内容：奶奶表示喜欢并解释原因，作者意识到亲情的重要性。 2.续写线索：母亲解释——作者情绪奔溃——作者向奶奶展示画——奶奶表示喜欢并解释——作者意识到亲情的重要性 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①.大叫：yell at/scream at /shout at ②.解决：solve /handle/settle ③.画：draw/paint 情绪类 ①.抱歉的：sorry/regretful ②.担心的：worried /concerned 【点睛】[高分句型1].
