Tristan da Cunha Tristan da Cunha, the southernmost inhabited (有人居住的) island of the British territory (领土) in the southern Atlantic, is located approximately 2,100 km south of the nearest inhabited land, with a coastline of 34 km and a cloud-covered volcanic cone. Spitsbergen Spitsbergen, Norway’s largest island, about 950 km north of the European coast, is covered in snow and ice, with a sizable population of polar bears. Its main settlement, Longyearbyen, sits less than 3.2 km away from the Svalbard Global Seed Vault — a secure facility intended to safeguard the seeds of the world’s food plants in case of a global disaster. Pitcairn Island This small volcanic island, the only inhabited island of the British overseas territory of four islands in the South Pacific, is probably best known as the settlement for the mutineers (叛变者) of the British ship HMS Bounty in 1790. It’s also near one of the world’s largest marine reserves. South Georgia South Georgia, part of the British overseas territory in the south Atlantic, is about 4,790 km west of Cape Town, South Africa. Large quantities of animal life there and around have invited a small number of scientists as the island’s few inhabitants. It’s best known as the final site of the arduous journey made by British explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton, who first crossed South Georgia Island in 1916. 1. Which of the islands doesn’t belong to England? A. Pitcairn Island. B. South Georgia. C. Tristan da Cunha. D. Spitsbergen. 2. What do the islands mentioned in the passage share? A. They are inhabited with many people. B. They are distant but appealing places. C. They are being safeguarded by scientists. D. They are in the southern part of the Earth. 3. What is the purpose of the passage? A. To introduce some islands to readers. B. To promote the world’s island tourism. C. To draw explorers’ attention to global disasters. D. To illustrate England has many overseas territories. 【答案】1. D 2. B 3. A 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章介绍了四座远离大陆的岛屿。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章Spitsbergen中的介绍“Spitsbergen, Norway’s largest island, about 950 km north of the European coast, is covered in snow and ice, with a sizable population of polar bears. (斯匹次卑尔根岛是挪威最大的岛屿，位于欧洲海岸以北约950公里处，被冰雪覆盖，生活着相当数量的北极熊。)”可知，斯匹次卑尔根岛是挪威最大的岛屿。故选D。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Many islands far from the continents should fire the imaginations of adventurers or explorers nowadays. (许多远离大陆的岛屿应该能激发当今冒险家或探险家的想象力。)”可知，这些岛屿都比较远，但是有吸引力。故选B。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章Tristan da Cunha中“Tristan da Cunha, the southernmost inhabited(有人居住的) island of the British territory(领土) in the southern Atlantic, is located approximately 2,100 km south of the nearest inhabited land, with a coastline of 34 km and a cloud-covered volcanic cone. (特里斯坦达库尼亚岛是南大西洋英属领土中最南端的有人居住的岛屿，位于最近的有人居住的土地以南约2100公里处，海岸线长34公里，有一个被云覆盖的火山锥。)” Spitsbergen中“Spitsbergen, Norway’s largest island, about 950 km north of the European coast, is covered in snow and ice, with a sizable population of polar bears. (斯匹次卑尔根岛是挪威最大的岛屿，位于欧洲海岸以北约950公里处，被冰雪覆盖，生活着相当数量的北极熊。)” Pitcairn Island中“This small volcanic island, the only inhabited island of the British overseas territory of four islands in the South Pacific, is probably best known as the settlement for the mutineers(叛变者) of the British ship HMS Bounty in 1790. (这个小小的火山岛是英国在南太平洋四个岛屿的海外领地中唯一有人居住的岛屿，它最出名的可能是1790年英国军舰邦蒂号上的叛变者的定居点。)”以及South Georgia“South Georgia, part of the British overseas territory in the south Atlantic, is about 4,790 km west of Cape Town, South Africa. (南乔治亚岛是英国在南大西洋的海外领地，位于南非开普敦以西约4790公里处。)”可知，本文主要介绍四个岛屿。故选A。 B On August 21, 1911, a plumber (水管工) in the Louvre Museum in Paris noticed a man standing in front of a door, unable to open it because of the missing doorknob (门把). The plumber used his key to open the door for the man, who was dressed in a white uniform of the Louvre’s maintenance staff (维护人员). In fact, the unknown man had something very valuable hidden underneath his uniform: Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa. The security was unbelievably terrible, especially on a painting with the then-insignificant reputation of the Mona Lisa. No one was even aware of the theft (偷窃) until the next day when a painter named Louis Beroud came to copy the painting. An alarm was raised, and police later found the glass box in a service stairway. Days passed, but no evidence was found. Great anger quickly grew and spread among the public and press. But no one could even figure out a motive for the theft. “Why the theft happened is a mystery to me, as I consider the picture valueless in the hands of a private individual,” said the assistant curator (馆长), Monsieur Benedite. Two years of silence followed, and the theft was almost forgotten. Then a man calling himself“Leonardo”contacted Alfredo Geri, an art dealer in Florence, Italy, saying he had the Mona Lisa and meant to return the painting to da Vinci’s homeland. Geri managed to talk“Leonardo”into bringing the painting to Florence, promising him 500, 000 lire for his effort. The police were brought in and“Leonardo”was found to be Vincenzo Peruggia, a house painter, with a little secret ambition in life. After a lengthy trial, Peruggia, for some reason, was only sentenced to one year and 15 days in jail, later reduced to seven months and nine days. Despite different versions of the story in some details, the punishment proved to be a small price to pay for the greatest art theft of the 20th century. 4. Why did the plumber help the thief open the door? A. He just played his part in their plan. B. He cared little about the painting at all. C. He took the man for a common worker. D. He worried about being killed by the thief. 5. What contributed most to the success of the theft? A. The safety measures weren’t strict. B. The police didn’t try their best at all. C. The picture enjoyed significant fame. D. The assistant curator was irresponsible. 6. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about? A. A further description of the Mona Lisa. B. A reasonable doubt about the theft. C. The process of the thief’s being caught. D. The importance of bringing in the police. 7. What can we learn from the passage? A. Peruggia was slightly punished for the theft. B. People then showed little interest in the theft. C. The theft added to the value of the Mona Lisa. D. The thief paid little money for the Mona Lisa. 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. C 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲的是让《蒙娜丽莎》闻名于世的100多年前的一起惊天盗窃案。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段的“The plumber used his key to open the door for the man, who was dressed in a white uniform of the Louvre’s maintenance staff(维护人员).(水管工用钥匙为身穿卢浮宫维修人员白色制服的男子打开了门。)”可知，水管工把这个贼误认为普通员工给他开了门。故选C。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段的“The security was unbelievably terrible, especially on a painting with the then-insignificant reputation of the Mona Lisa. No one was even aware of the theft(偷窃)until the next day when a painter named Louis Beroud came to copy the painting.(安保措施令人难以置信地糟糕，尤其是在当时名气不大的《蒙娜丽莎》这幅画上。直到第二天，一位名叫路易斯·贝鲁德的画家来临摹这幅画时，甚至没有人知道盗窃。)”可知，安全措施不严格导致了盗窃的成功。故选A。 【6题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段的“Then a man calling himself “Leonardo” contacted Alfredo Geri, an art dealer in Florence, Italy, saying he had the Mona Lisa and meant to return the painting to da Vinci’s homeland. Geri managed to talk “Leonardo” into bringing the painting to Florence, promising him 500, 000 lire for his effort. The police were brought in and “Leonardo” was found to be Vincenzo Peruggia, a house painter, with a little secret ambition in life.(后来，一名自称“列奥纳多”的男子联系了意大利佛罗伦萨的艺术品经销商阿尔弗雷多·格里，说他有《蒙娜丽莎》，打算把这幅画归还给达·芬奇的故乡。格里设法说服了“列奥纳多”把这幅画带到佛罗伦萨，并承诺给他50万英镑的奖金。警方介入后，发现“列奥纳多”其实是文森佐·佩鲁贾(Vincenzo Peruggia)，一个房屋油漆工，在生活中有一个小小的秘密野心。)”可知，本段主要讲述贼被抓住的过程。故选C。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段的“After a lengthy trial, Peruggia, for some reason, was only sentenced to one year and 15 days in jail, later reduced to seven months and nine days. Despite different versions of the story in some details, the punishment proved to be a small price to pay for the greatest art theft of the 20th century.(经过漫长的审判，由于某种原因，佩鲁贾只被判处一年零15天的监禁，后来减为7个月零9天。尽管在一些细节上有不同的说法，但事实证明，与20世纪最大的艺术品盗窃案相比，这种惩罚只是一个小小的代价。)”可知，佩鲁贾因偷窃而受到轻微惩罚。故选A。 C On an early winter morning, a small group of students and tourists were taking pictures of the horses with their phones. These horses, known locally as takhi and globally as Przewalski’s horse, are unique. They are the only type that has never been trained and they are the fruits of one of the most successful ever wildlife reintroduction plans of Hustai National Park. “Horses are key to our culture. Everyone is glad to have them back,” says Dashpurev with a smile, who is in charge of Hustai National Park. Once hunted to extinction in the wild in the 1960s, Przewalski’s horses now number nearly 1,000, at three sites across Mongolia, as well as in China and Kazakhstan. The largest population — numbering 423 — is in central Mongolia’s Hustai National Park. These horses are descendants (后代) of 84 animals that were airlifted from European zoos in the 1990s. “Before the reintroduction, no one believed we could save this species,” recalls Dashpurev. Now, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) has downgraded Przewalski’s horse from “critically endangered” to “endangered”, marking a significant milestone in their recovery. However, despite this success story, Mongolia faces numerous challenges in protecting its other species. Besides hunting, the climate emergency is putting more pressure. Temperatures are rising three times faster than the global average, bringing more extreme weather events that wipe out large numbers of animals. Faced with this crisis, the government has taken actions to protect wild areas. In 1998, Mongolia promised to protect 30% of its territory by 2030 — a goal adopted by 100 other countries in 2021. So far it is on 21%. Last year, the president launched a drive to plant 1 billion trees by 2030 and tough fines have had success in stopping illegal hunting. Yet these efforts are hamstrung (妨碍) by a lack of funding. “The government wants to grow the economy. That’s the key thing for them, so they are putting a lot of effort into agriculture and mining,” says Buuveibaatar, a scientist at the Wildlife Conservation Society, “Wildlife is ignored. As a result, some of its conservation areas are paper parks. The Przewalski’s horse reintroduction plan is an example of how to save wildlife. Now, the challenge lies in introducing this success to the rest of the country’s other wildlife.” 8. Why are these horses unique according to the passage? A. They are airlifted from European zoos. B. They are successfully introduced species. C. They are the only true wild horse species. D. They can only be photographed in Mongolia. 9. What was the public’s attitude towards saving these horses before the reintroduction? A. Relieved. B. Supportive. C. Uninterested. D. Doubtful. 10. Why is the climate emergency mentioned in Paragraph 4? A. To introduce the reasons for wildlife extinction. B. To explain its influence on wildlife in Mongolia. C. To stress the challenges facing wildlife protection. D. To express the author’s feelings about the extinction. 11. What does Buuveibaatar imply in the last paragraph? A. Hustai National Park provides a positive model. B. The government’s focus should be the economy. C. Other countries can help by following the footsteps. D. The Przewalski’s horse is the only one worth saving. 【答案】8. C 9. D 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了蒙古国普氏野马(又称“takhi”)的保护和重引入计划，以及蒙古国在保护野生动物方面所面临的挑战和所采取的措施。 8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“These horses, known locally as takhi and globally as Przewalski’s horse, are unique. They are the only type that has never been trained (这些马，在当地被称为takhi，在全球被称为普氏野马，是独一无二的。它们是唯一没有受过训练的物种)”可知，这些马独一无二是因为它们是是唯一没有受过训练的物种，是真正的野马种类。故选C项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中““Before the reintroduction, no one believed we could save this species,” recalls Dashpurev.(“在重新引入之前，没有人相信我们可以拯救这个物种，”Dashpurev回忆道)”可知，在重新引入这些马之前，公众对此持怀疑态度。故选D项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中心句“However, despite this success story, Mongolia faces numerous challenges in protecting its other species.(然而，尽管有这样的成功故事，蒙古在保护其他物种方面面临着许多挑战)”和“Temperatures are rising three times faster than the global average, bringing more extreme weather events that wipe out large numbers of animals.(气温上升速度是全球平均水平的三倍，带来了更多的极端天气事件，导致大量动物死亡)”可推知，第四段中提及气候紧急情况旨在说明蒙古野生动物保护努力面临的其它挑战。故选C项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中““The government wants to grow the economy. That’s the key thing for them, so they are putting a lot of effort into agriculture and mining,” says Buuveibaatar, a scientist at the Wildlife Conservation Society, “Wildlife is ignored. As a result, some of its conservation areas are paper parks. The Przewalski’s horse reintroduction plan is an example of how to save wildlife. Now, the challenge lies in introducing this success to the rest of the country’s other wildlife.”(野生动物保护协会的科学家Buuveibaatar说：“政府希望发展经济。这对他们来说是关键，所以他们在农业和采矿方面投入了大量精力。野生生物被忽视了。因此，一些保护区只是纸上谈兵。普氏野马重引入计划是拯救野生生物的典范。现在，挑战在于将这种成功模式引入该国其他野生生物的保护中。”)”可知，Buuveibaatar认为普氏野马重引入计划是拯救野生生物的典范，这种成功模式应引入该国其他野生生物的保护中。说明Buuveibaatar认为呼斯坦诺鲁国家公园对普氏野马的保护树立了一个积极的榜样。故选A项。 D Neuralink has conducted its first surgical test of a brain chip implant (芯片植入), announcing a new step of Elon Musk’s ambitious plan to let humans wirelessly (无线) connect their brains with phones and other devices. Months before, for its clinical trial, Neuralink called for volunteers aged 22 and above with quadriplegia (四肢瘫痪) due to a brain injury or ALS, a disease that prevents people from controlling their bodies. This clinical trial is called PRIME — for Precise Robotically Implanted Brain-Computer Interface. As the name implies, the process involves using a robot to surgically put the wires of the company’s implant into a part of the brain related to movement. The implant procedure employs custom-made microscopic needles. The tip is only 10 to 12 microns in width — slightly larger than the diameter of a red blood cell, which allows threads to be put in with minimal damage to the brain. Neuralink has previously faced different opinions due to accusations (指控) in 2022 and 2023 against the effect the company’s practices produced on monkeys and other animals used in testing. “No monkey has died as a result of a Neuralink implant,” Musk said in response last September, “to reduce risk to healthy monkeys, we chose terminal monkeys.” Research in computers and neurology (神经学) has been going for decades, including the fast growing field of decoding (解码) the brain’s electrical activity around words, impulses and images. Much of the ongoing research has sought to bring people affected by paralysis and blindness new ways of interacting with the world. But implants have also long been seen as having the potential to “enhance” people who aren’t affected by such serious conditions. “Imagine the joy of connecting with your loved ones, surfing the Internet or even playing games using only your thoughts,” Neuralink said. 12. Through brain chip implant test, Neuralink aims ____________. A. to reduce people’s control over the outside world B. to call for more people to volunteer in the research C. to cure people of diseases such as quadriplegia and ALS D. to enable people to use modern devices with their minds 13. What does the underlined word “terminal” in paragraph 5 probably mean? A. Full of energy. B. Close to death. C. Willing to be volunteers. D. Unlikely to be sick. 14. What can be concluded about the Neuralink implant? A. It has been going on for decades. B. It can also benefit healthy people. C. It can make your loved ones happier. D. It is conducted widely across the world. 15. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text? A. Neuralink Put Implant into a Human Brain B. Neuralink Researched in Computer Technology C. Neuralink Helped to Connect Your Beloved Ones D. Neuralink Treated Rare Diseases Just with Needles 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. B 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道，主要讲述了Elon Musk的公司Neuralink进行了首次脑芯片植入手术测试，这是他让人类能够无线连接他们的大脑与手机和其他设备的雄心壮志计划的新步骤。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Neuralink has conducted its first surgical test of a brain chip implant(芯片植入), announcing a new step of Elon Musk’s ambitious plan to let humans wirelessly(无线)connect their brains with phones and other devices.”（Neuralink进行了首次脑芯片植入手术测试，这是Elon Musk让人类能够无线连接他们的大脑与手机和其他设备的雄心壮志计划的新步骤。）可知，Neuralink的目标是让人们能够用思维使用现代设备，故选D。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第五段“to reduce risk to healthy monkeys,”（为了减少对健康猴子的风险）可知，为了减少对健康猴子的风险，我们选择了临终的猴子。这里的“terminal”应该是指“临终的”，故选B。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Imagine the joy of connecting with your loved ones, surfing the Internet or even playing games using only your thoughts,” Neuralink said.（“想象一下，只用你的思维就能与你的亲人联系，上网或者玩游戏，”Neuralink说。）可知，Neuralink的植入物也可以让健康的人受益，故选B。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文以及根据第三段“This clinical trial is called PRIME—for Precise Robotically Implanted Brain-Computer Interface. As the name implies, the process involves using a robot to surgically put the wires of the company’s implant into a part of the brain related to movement. ”（这项临床试验被称为PRIME——精确机器人植入脑机接口。顾名思义，这个过程包括使用机器人将该公司植入物的导线像手术一样植入大脑中与运动相关的部分。）可知，主要讲述了Elon Musk的公司Neuralink进行了首次脑芯片植入手术测试，这是他让人类能够无线连接他们的大脑与手机和其他设备的雄心壮志计划的新步骤。所以短文的标题为“Neuralink植入芯片于人脑”。故选A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。 You have worked hard for years to achieve your dream.

Mooncakes have a variety of fillings, among ____________ I love the sweet red bean filling best. (用适当的词填空) 【答案】which 【解析】 【详解】考查定语从句。句意：月饼的馅料有很多种，其中我最喜欢红豆馅。空格处单词引导非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词fillings，指物，关系词代替先行词在定语从句中作宾语，应使用关系代词which构成“介词+关系代词”引导的定语从句。故填which。 37.

(所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】appreciation 【解析】 【详解】考查名词。句意：该测试旨在调查儿童对屏幕之外的生活的领会程度。结合句意和空格前所有格可知，提示词作宾语，用名词appreciation，意为“领会”，不可数名词。故填appreciation。 38. The next two movements are full of desperate lows and uplifting highs which perhaps reflect both his suffering and his strong will ____________ (fight) it. (所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】to fight 【解析】 【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：接下来的两个乐章充满了绝望的低谷和令人振奋的高潮，这也许反映了他的苦难和他与之斗争的坚强意志。“(fight) it”作后置定语修饰名词will，will意为“意志”，常用不定式作后置定语。故填to fight。 39. The Internet has the power to connect people across the world to a single ________(share) community. （所给词的适当形式填空） 【答案】shared 【解析】 【详解】考查形容词。句意：互联网有能力将世界各地的人们连接到一个共享的社区。此处修饰名词，应用形容词shared“共享的”，作定语。故填shared。 40. Though ____________ (play) on Western instruments, much of the music Butterfly Lovers has its roots in Chinese Yue Opera. (所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】played 【解析】 【详解】考查状语从句的省略。句意：虽然是用西方乐器演奏的，但梁祝的大部分音乐都源于中国的越剧。在when, while, if, as if, though (或although), as, until, once, whether, unless, where等连词连接的状语从句中，常省略跟主句相同的主语和be动词。“Though 　　 (play) on Western instruments”是让步状语从句，原句为“Though much of the music Butterfly Lovers is played on Western instruments”，符合状语从句省略条件，省略much of the music Butterfly Lovers is后，应保留过去分词played。故填played。 41. As with any great invention, we must be careful to use the Internet properly and ____________ (responsible). (所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】responsibly 【解析】 【详解】考查副词。句意：就像对待任何伟大的发明一样，我们必须小心谨慎地、负责任地使用互联网。空格处与副词properly并列，修饰动词use，所以需要用副词；responsible的副词为responsibly，意为：负责任地。故填responsibly。 42. There were loud ____________(crash) of glass breaking and things falling to the ground, but the students remained still and waited calmly and quietly. (所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】crashes 【解析】 【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：玻璃破碎的声音很响，东西掉在地上，但学生们仍然静静地等待着。分析句子结构可知，形容词修饰名词，由谓语动词were可知，用复数，故填crashes。 43. We scientists take ________ for granted that it is perfectly possible to live and not know. （用适当的词填空） 【答案】it 【解析】 【详解】考查代词。句意：我们科学家理所当然地认为，人类生而有所不知是完全可能的。take it for granted 认为……理所当然，it作形式宾语，真正的宾语为that从句。故填it。 44. After Beethoven turned around, he saw ____________ sea of people all standing, clapping, and waving their hats and handkerchiefs. (用适当的词填空) 【答案】a 【解析】 【详解】考查冠词。句意：贝多芬转过身后，他看到一群人站在那里，鼓掌，挥舞着他们的帽子和手帕。a sea of意为“大量的，许多的”；此处指的是很多人。故填a。 45. Most of the forest’s nutrients are locked up in the plants themselves, which____________(allow) them to grow at an unbelievable speed. (所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】allows 【解析】 【详解】考查一般现在时与主谓一致。句意：森林里的大部分营养物质都被植物锁在里面，这使得它们能以令人难以置信的速度生长。空格处需要填入定语从句的谓语动词，本句中为描述事实，所以用一般现在时；which代替的是前面整句话，所以此处动词用单数。故填allows。 46. Over the past 100 years, Sichuan hot pots ____________ (expand) to include options of soups, vegetables and meats. (所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】have expanded 【解析】 【详解】考查时态和主谓一致。句意：在过去的100年里，四川火锅已经扩展到包括多种选择的汤，蔬菜，肉类。设空处作谓语，由Over the past 100 years以及句意可知，句子时态是现在完成时，主语是复数，因此空格处是have expanded。故填have expanded。 47. Even though large amounts of qinghao extract ____________ (produce), they still faced another problem. (所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】were produced 【解析】 【详解】考查时态语态和主谓一致。句意：尽管生产了大量的青蒿提取物，但他们仍然面临着另一个问题 。本句为让步状语从句， large amounts of qinghao extract与produce为被动关系，所以为被动语态。结合主谓一致，谓语动词与amounts的单复数一致。且根据faced可知，本句为一般过去时的被动语态，be动词用were。故填were produced。 48. The Amazon rainforest breathes life____________ the planet, producing over 20 per cent of all the Earth’s oxygen. (用适当的词填空) 【答案】into 【解析】 【详解】考查介词。句意：亚马逊雨林为地球呼吸着生命，产生了地球上超过20%的氧气。根据“breathes life”和“the planet”可知，此处用固定短语breathe life into表示“为……注入生命”。故填into。 49. Comfort food could build an____________(emotion)bond with our happy memories. (所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】emotional 【解析】 【详解】考查形容词。句意：安慰食物可以与我们的快乐回忆建立情感纽带。形容词emotional作定语修饰名词。故填emotional。 50.

(所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】volunteered 【解析】 【详解】考查时态。句意：在研究过程中，屠和她的团队自愿在自己身上测试青蒿提取物。提示词volunteer(自愿做)作谓语，与主语Tu and her team之间是主动关系，讲述过去的事情用一般过去时态。故填volunteered。 第四部分写作(共两节;满分40分) 第一节(满分15分) 51. 假定你是李华，昨天你参加了学校举办的“中华传统美食”厨艺大赛，请你给英国好友David写一封邮件，内容包括： 1. 介绍你的参赛作品； 2. 你的感想。 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 David, I’m writing to share with you my experience in the cooking contest held in our school yesterday. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】Dear David, I’m writing to share with you my exciting experience in the “Chinese Traditional Cuisine” cooking contest held in our school yesterday.

(运用了不定式作后置定语) 第二节(满分25分) 52. 阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成一篇完整的短文。 One day, I read a very sad story about a police dog named Solo that had been sent into a building to catch a suspect (嫌犯). The last thing Solo did before entering the building was to lick his owner’s face. A few minutes later, Solo was shot and killed in the line of duty. I knew how sad that officer must have felt because my own dog, Kela, had recently died. The article went on to tell about a fundraiser (募捐活动) that was going on to help buy bulletproof vests (防弹背心) for the police dogs there. I thought every police dog should be protected just like the police. I may be a kid, but why can’t I do a fundraiser to help save the dogs in our area? Then 1 found out that a bulletproof vest for a police dog costs $475. My mom thought it was a lot of money for an eleven-year-old girl to raise, but she told me to go ahead and try anyway. We called our local Oceanside Police Department and learned that their dogs needed bulletproof vests. At that point, I realized that I needed a name for the fundraiser and thought since I was trying to protect just one dog’s life, I would call my program Vest A Dog. I decided that vet offices and pet stores would be really good places to go with donation boxes and Vest A Dog fliers (传单). I used little green take-out boxes, decorated with a picture of Tiko, the dog I chose to vest, and me. I wrote on each box “Help protect the life of a police dog by donating a dollar.” One afternoon, after all the boxes had been placed throughout our community, I got a call from a local newspaper reporter who had seen one of my fliers. The reporter decided to do an article about Vest A Dog. That ought to spread the word, I thought. I asked officer Jim Wall, who is Tiko’s partner, if they would have their picture taken with me for the article and they did. 注意: 1. 续写词数应为150左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 After the article came out, I eagerly checked to see if there were any donations. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ About three weeks later, I counted the money from all of the boxes. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 After the article came out, I eagerly checked to see if there were any donations. Every day after school, I rushed to each location, hoping to find the boxes filled with contributions. To my delight, I started noticing more and more people stopping by the boxes, curious about Vest A Dog and willing to donate. Children were emptying their piggy banks, while adults were digging into their wallets for spare change or even writing checks. The community's response was overwhelming, and my heart swelled with gratitude. About three weeks later, I counted the money from all of the boxes. With trembling hands, I separated the bills and coins, triple-checking each count. The total amount astounded me – it was far beyond what I had ever imagined. We had managed to raise not just enough for one vest, but sufficient funds for multiple vests. I couldn't wait to share the news with Officer Jim Wall and Tiko. Their joy and appreciation upon hearing the update was priceless and I realized that no dream is too big, and even a young heart can make a significant impact. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索，主要介绍了一个小女孩为当地警犬筹集资金购买防弹背心的故事。受到一篇悲伤报道的启发，尽管年纪小，她仍决定发起募捐活动“Vest A Dog”。在得到母亲的支持和当地警察局确认需求后，她自制捐款箱和宣传单，在宠物相关场所布置，这一举动得到社区和当地报纸的支持。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句“文章发表后，我急切地查看是否有捐款。”可知，本段可描写募捐活动获社区热烈响应，女孩心怀感激。 ②由第二段首句“大约三周后，我数了数所有盒子里的钱。”可知，本段可描写三周后募捐成功，所得远超预期，可为多只警犬购背心，该行动影响深远。 2.段落续写：报纸报道——大家开始关注——踊跃捐款——超出预期——分享消息——感到高兴并感恩——深远的影响 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①冲向：rush to/hurry to ②注意到：notice/observe/spot ③筹集：raise/collect 情绪类 ①令人高兴的是：to one’s delight/to one’s joy ②使震惊：astound/astonish/shock 【点睛】【高分句型1】The total amount astounded me —— it was far beyond what I had ever imagined.（运用了what引导的宾语从句） 【高分句型2】Their joy and appreciation upon hearing the update was priceless and I realized that no dream is too big, and even a young heart can make a significant impact.（运用了that引导的宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024年南通市高一学年度质量监测 英语 注意事项 考生在答题前请认真阅读本注意事项及各题答题要求 1. 答题前, 考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号、考场号、座位号填写在答题卡上。 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, 请用橡皮擦干净后, 再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时, 将答案写在答题卡上, 写在本试卷上无效。 3. 考试结束后, 将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 听力(共两节, 满分30分) 做题时, 先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后, 你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节(共5小题;每小题1.5分, 满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题, 从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后, 你都有 10 秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

Tristan da Cunha Tristan da Cunha, the southernmost inhabited (有人居住的) island of the British territory (领土) in the southern Atlantic, is located approximately 2,100 km south of the nearest inhabited land, with a coastline of 34 km and a cloud-covered volcanic cone. Spitsbergen Spitsbergen, Norway’s largest island, about 950 km north of the European coast, is covered in snow and ice, with a sizable population of polar bears. Its main settlement, Longyearbyen, sits less than 3.2 km away from the Svalbard Global Seed Vault — a secure facility intended to safeguard the seeds of the world’s food plants in case of a global disaster. Pitcairn Island This small volcanic island, the only inhabited island of the British overseas territory of four islands in the South Pacific, is probably best known as the settlement for the mutineers (叛变者) of the British ship HMS Bounty in 1790. It’s also near one of the world’s largest marine reserves. South Georgia South Georgia part of the British overseas territory in the south Atlantic, is about 4,790 km west of Cape Town, South Africa. Large quantities of animal life there and around have invited a small number of scientists as the island’s few inhabitants. It’s best known as the final site of the arduous journey made by British explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton, who first crossed South Georgia Island in 1916. 1 Which of the islands doesn’t belong to England? A. Pitcairn Island. B. South Georgia. C. Tristan da Cunha. D. Spitsbergen. 2. What do the islands mentioned in the passage share? A. They are inhabited with many people. B. They are distant but appealing places. C. They are being safeguarded by scientists. D. They are in the southern part of the Earth. 3. What is the purpose of the passage? A. To introduce some islands to readers. B. To promote the world’s island tourism. C. To draw explorers’ attention to global disasters. D. To illustrate England has many overseas territories. B On August 21, 1911, a plumber (水管工) in the Louvre Museum in Paris noticed a man standing in front of a door, unable to open it because of the missing doorknob (门把). The plumber used his key to open the door for the man, who was dressed in a white uniform of the Louvre’s maintenance staff (维护人员). In fact, the unknown man had something very valuable hidden underneath his uniform: Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa. The security was unbelievably terrible, especially on a painting with the then-insignificant reputation of the Mona Lisa. No one was even aware of the theft (偷窃) until the next day when a painter named Louis Beroud came to copy the painting. An alarm was raised, and police later found the glass box in a service stairway. Days passed, but no evidence was found. Great anger quickly grew and spread among the public and press. But no one could even figure out a motive for the theft. “Why the theft happened is a mystery to me, as I consider the picture valueless in the hands of a private individual,” said the assistant curator (馆长), Monsieur Benedite. Two years of silence followed, and the theft was almost forgotten. Then a man calling himself“Leonardo”contacted Alfredo Geri, an art dealer in Florence, Italy, saying he had the Mona Lisa and meant to return the painting to da Vinci’s homeland. Geri managed to talk“Leonardo”into bringing the painting to Florence, promising him 500, 000 lire for his effort. The police were brought in and“Leonardo”was found to be Vincenzo Peruggia, a house painter, with a little secret ambition in life. After a lengthy trial, Peruggia, for some reason, was only sentenced to one year and 15 days in jail, later reduced to seven months and nine days.

C On an early winter morning, a small group of students and tourists were taking pictures of the horses with their phones. These horses, known locally as takhi and globally as Przewalski’s horse, are unique. They are the only type that has never been trained and they are the fruits of one of the most successful ever wildlife reintroduction plans of Hustai National Park. “Horses are key to our culture. Everyone is glad to have them back,” says Dashpurev with a smile, who is in charge of Hustai National Park. Once hunted to extinction in the wild in the 1960s, Przewalski’s horses now number nearly 1,000, at three sites across Mongolia, as well as in China and Kazakhstan. The largest population — numbering 423 — is in central Mongolia’s Hustai National Park. These horses are descendants (后代) of 84 animals that were airlifted from European zoos in the 1990s. “Before the reintroduction, no one believed we could save this species,” recalls Dashpurev. Now, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) has downgraded Przewalski’s horse from “critically endangered” to “endangered”, marking a significant milestone in their recovery. However, despite this success story, Mongolia faces numerous challenges in protecting its other species. Besides hunting, the climate emergency is putting more pressure. Temperatures are rising three times faster than the global average, bringing more extreme weather events that wipe out large numbers of animals. Faced with this crisis, the government has taken actions to protect wild areas. In 1998, Mongolia promised to protect 30% of its territory by 2030 — a goal adopted by 100 other countries in 2021. So far it is on 21%. Last year, the president launched a drive to plant 1 billion trees by 2030 and tough fines have had success in stopping illegal hunting. Yet these efforts are hamstrung (妨碍) by a lack of funding. “The government wants to grow the economy. That’s the key thing for them, so they are putting a lot of effort into agriculture and mining,” says Buuveibaatar, a scientist at the Wildlife Conservation Society, “Wildlife is ignored. As a result, some of its conservation areas are paper parks. The Przewalski’s horse reintroduction plan is an example of how to save wildlife. Now, the challenge lies in introducing this success to the rest of the country’s other wildlife.” 8. Why are these horses unique according to the passage? A. They are airlifted from European zoos. B. They are successfully introduced species. C. They are the only true wild horse species. D. They can only be photographed in Mongolia. 9. What was the public’s attitude towards saving these horses before the reintroduction? A. Relieved. B. Supportive. C. Uninterested. D. Doubtful. 10. Why is the climate emergency mentioned in Paragraph 4? A. To introduce the reasons for wildlife extinction. B. To explain its influence on wildlife in Mongolia. C. To stress the challenges facing wildlife protection. D. To express the author’s feelings about the extinction. 11. What does Buuveibaatar imply in the last paragraph? A. Hustai National Park provides a positive model. B. The government’s focus should be the economy. C. Other countries can help by following the footsteps. D. The Przewalski’s horse is the only one worth saving. D Neuralink has conducted its first surgical test of a brain chip implant (芯片植入), announcing a new step of Elon Musk’s ambitious plan to let humans wirelessly (无线) connect their brains with phones and other devices. Months before, for its clinical trial, Neuralink called for volunteers aged 22 and above with quadriplegia (四肢瘫痪) due to a brain injury or ALS, a disease that prevents people from controlling their bodies. This clinical trial is called PRIME — for Precise Robotically Implanted Brain-Computer Interface. As the name implies, the process involves using a robot to surgically put the wires of the company’s implant into a part of the brain related to movement. The implant procedure employs custom-made microscopic needles. The tip is only 10 to 12 microns in width — slightly larger than the diameter of a red blood cell, which allows threads to be put in with minimal damage to the brain. Neuralink has previously faced different opinions due to accusations (指控) in 2022 and 2023 against the effect the company’s practices produced on monkeys and other animals used in testing. “No monkey has died as a result of a Neuralink implant,” Musk said in response last September, “to reduce risk to healthy monkeys, we chose terminal monkeys.” Research in computers and neurology (神经学) has been going for decades, including the fast growing field of decoding (解码) the brain’s electrical activity around words, impulses and images. Much of the ongoing research has sought to bring people affected by paralysis and blindness new ways of interacting with the world. But implants have also long been seen as having the potential to “enhance” people who aren’t affected by such serious conditions. “Imagine the joy of connecting with your loved ones, surfing the Internet or even playing games using only your thoughts,” Neuralink said. 12. Through brain chip implant test, Neuralink aims ____________. A. to reduce people’s control over the outside world B. to call for more people to volunteer in the research C. to cure people of diseases such as quadriplegia and ALS D. to enable people to use modern devices with their minds 13. What does the underlined word “terminal” in paragraph 5 probably mean? A. Full of energy. B. Close to death. C. Willing to be volunteers. D. Unlikely to be sick. 14. What can be concluded about the Neuralink implant? A. It has been going on for decades. B. It can also benefit healthy people. C. It can make your loved ones happier. D. It is conducted widely across the world. 15. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text? A. Neuralink Put Implant into a Human Brain B. Neuralink Researched in Computer Technology C. Neuralink Helped to Connect Your Beloved Ones D. Neuralink Treated Rare Diseases Just with Needles 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。 You have worked hard for years to achieve your dream.

The last thing Solo did before entering the building was to lick his owner’s face. A few minutes later, Solo was shot and killed in the line of duty. I knew how sad that officer must have felt because my own dog, Kela, had recently died. The article went on to tell about a fundraiser (募捐活动) that was going on to help buy bulletproof vests (防弹背心) for the police dogs there. I thought every police dog should be protected just like the police. I may be a kid, but why can’t I do a fundraiser to help save the dogs in our area? Then 1 found out that a bulletproof vest for a police dog costs $475. My mom thought it was a lot of money for an eleven-year-old girl to raise, but she told me to go ahead and try anyway. We called our local Oceanside Police Department and learned that their dogs needed bulletproof vests. At that point, I realized that I needed a name for the fundraiser and thought since I was trying to protect just one dog’s life, I would call my program Vest A Dog. I decided that vet offices and pet stores would be really good places to go with donation boxes and Vest A Dog fliers (传单). I used little green take-out boxes, decorated with a picture of Tiko, the dog I chose to vest, and me. I wrote on each box “Help protect the life of a police dog by donating a dollar.” One afternoon, after all the boxes had been placed throughout our community, I got a call from a local newspaper reporter who had seen one of my fliers. The reporter decided to do an article about Vest A Dog. That ought to spread the word, I thought. I asked officer Jim Wall, who is Tiko’s partner, if they would have their picture taken with me for the article and they did. 注意: 1. 续写词数应为150左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 After the article came out, I eagerly checked to see if there were any donations. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ About three weeks later I counted the money from all of the boxes. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
