The show will be touring venues around the UK from the October 2023 to July2024. In this surprising and thought-provoking selection, emerging artists take the medium of drawing in new directions and use innovative approaches. A wide range of techniques and practices are represented, including drawings using make-up on face wipes by Sin Wai Kin and a drawing made with chalk collected from the White Cliffs of Dover by Josephine Baker. Artists show how drawing, often considered a quiet or private medium, can be used to challenge social norms (规范), explore identity and protest injustice. Catherine Anyango Grünewald has described the time and labour invested in her monumental drawings as a “direct admiration” for their subjects, often the victims of institutional crimes. The painstaking de tail of Irish artist Miriam de Búrca’s drawings of earth forces us to confront an uncomfortable history. This tour has evolved from an exhibition at the British Museum, and each gallery will offer their unique take on the works. Supported by the Dorset Foundation in memory of Harry M Weinrebe. 21. What can we learn from the first paragraph? A. The tour has a duration of one year and a half. B. Visitors can enjoy the tour only in the British Museum. C. Some works on exhibition were created by young artists. D. Famous artists can teach visitors painting skills in person. 22. What do Sin Wai Kin and Josephine Baker have in common? A. They employ innovative methods. B. They represent famous artists. C. They collect surprising drawings. D. They prefer a new but risky direction. 23. Who makes efforts to show respect to the subjects of works? A. Mary Delany. B. Harry M Weinrebe. C. Barbara Hepworth. D. Catherine Anyango Grünewald. B Different people have different ambitions in life such as doctors. For as long as I can remember I always liked teaching people something. From my childhood, I taught whatever I learned in school. It started with helping some trying to tie their shoelaces or making my younger siblings remember alphabets through a sing-song rhythm. This profession will enable me to make my humble contribution to the building of my nation by instilling the spirit of nationalism and patriotism in my students. The sense of accomplishment I used to feel when the other person finally learned whatever it was that I had been teaching them was indescribable. The main reason I always wanted to teach was that firstly I thought teaching comes naturally to me and secondly, I always had the utmost respect for my teacher, who knew my strengths and weakness more than I did. According to Plato, education is the turning of the inner eye towards the light. By adopting the profession of teaching, I can hope to perform this stupendous task. I aspire to make a difference in others’ lives through education. I’m studying to be an elementary school teacher because I believe that children can achieve so much more if they learn early of their potential. My parents taught me as a child that schooling was vital to success in life. Truly, that lesson has been the most important in my path to college. I don’t think I would have made it this far had I not taken my education seriously. What started from teaching my siblings in their homework ended in me volunteering to teach underprivileged children and making me realize that in this world there could be never enough educators and there are people in this world who are always in need of learning. I want to teach others about the importance of education so they too can prosper. Everything I’m learning at university is important for my future career and, if I don’t study it, I'm failing my future students. In view of the foregoing reasons, I am convinced that my preference to become a teacher is a step in the right direction. I will, therefore, spare no effort to achieve this ambition of my life. 24. The author mentioned the childhood experience to_________. A. share the sense of accomplishment B. advocate nationalism and patriotism C. explain the inborn passion for teaching D. introduce several ways to help others 25. What does the word “stupendous” underlined in paragraph 2 refer to? A. Impossible. B. Impressive. C. Indescribable. D. Imaginary. 26. What inspires the author to become an elementary school teacher? A. The significance of education. B. The power of students’ potential. C. The life of the university. D. The successful career of parents. 27. What has the author learned from the voluntary work? A. Being a teacher is effortless. B. Poor children fail to be educators. C. Studying in university is not enough. D. Education should be accessible to all. C Researchers from the GIGA — Center of Research Cyclotron at the University of Liège have discovered that the sleeping body reacts to the external world while sleeping, which explains how some sensory input might influence sleep quality. Researchers from ULi ège worked with the University of Fribourg in Switzerland to study if the body genuinely disconnects from the outside world while sleeping. They focused on how the heartbeat changes when we hear different words while sleeping. They discovered that calming words reduced cardiac (心脏的) activity as a reflection of deeper sleep, in contrast to neutral phrases, which did not have the same effect. This result, reported in the Journal of Sleep Research, throws fresh light on brain-heart interactions during sleep. A previous study analyzing brain data showed that relaxing words increased deep sleep duration and sleep quality, showing that we can positively influence sleep using meaningful words. By that time, the authors reasoned that the brain might still process sensory input in a way that made our bodies feel more relaxed after hearing soothing phrases while sleeping. In this new study, the authors were able to measure cardiac activity to test this idea and discovered that the heart slows down only after the display of calming phrases. Markers of cardiac and brain activity were then compared to understand how much they contributed to the modulation (演变) of sleep by auditory information. Cardiac activity has been indeed proposed to contribute to the way we perceive the world directly, but such evidence has so far been obtained in wakefulness. With these results, the ULi ège researchers showed that it was also true in sleep, offering a new perspective on the essential role of bodily reactions beyond brain data for our understanding of sleep. “Most of sleep research focuses on the brain and rarely investigates bodily activity,” says Dr. Schmidt. This study takes a more complete approach to the modulation of sleep functions by sensory information. By investigating cardiac reactions to noises, we may be able to research in the future the involvement of the body in the way sounds influence emotional processing of memories while sleeping. 28. What can we learn about the sleeping body from the first two paragraphs? A. It disconnects from the outside world. B. It reacts positively to calming words. C. It makes no response to neutral words. D. It suffers the changes of the heartbeat. 29. What did the new study focus on? A. Unpleasant noise. B. The modulation of sleep. C. Cardiac activity. D. The function of the brain. 30. Why were the markers compared? A. To understand the world directly. B. To obtain information in wakefulness. C. To study the impact of sensory input on sleep. D. To test the accuracy of auditory information. 31. What is the author’s attitude toward the new study? A. Unclear. B. Indifferent. C. Doubtful. D. Approving. D Ten years ago, Britain’s first stretch of all-lane running (ALR)“smart” motorway was introduced, with more to follow. As a way to ease congestion (堵塞) without spending money on widening roads, ALR motorways function without a hard shoulder for drivers in difficulty. As they were rolled out, motorists were assured that the emergency lane would not be missed, as new technologies would be able to respond to breakdowns, and control traffic flow. The public was understandably doubtful about how smart this idea was, and it turned out the public was right. Smart motorways without a hard shoulder have been found to be three times more dangerous than ones where drivers have that option. Behind the data lie terrible incidents, in which stationary (不动的) vehicles have been ploughed into from behind with serious consequences. Rightly, Rishi Sunak last year stopped plans for more ALR motorways, citing a lack of public confidence. But he should go further. The RAC this week called for a hard shoulder to be restored on all smart motorways. That advice should be listened to in Whitehall and acted upon. A 2021 House of Commons transport committee report made shockingly clear that before rolling the “no emergency lane” policy out, ministers driven by the desire to save money failed to do due diligence on the safety risks attached. Since then, plans to retrofit (翻新) refuge areas along motorway routes have proceeded at a snail’s pace. Of the 150 emergency areas due to be in place by next year, only a tiny proportion have been delivered. Even when all are up and running, the risk of a catastrophic breakdown in onrushing traffic will remain. At a minimum, the government should move to a system of “dynamic” motorways, where emergency lanes are only opened to traffic at particularly busy periods. But the preferable solution would be to restore a permanent hard shoulder. This could be done while keeping the benefits of investment in technical innovations that allow traffic to be better monitored and flexibly regulated. Mr Sunak did the right thing in bringing a foolish experiment to an end. The next task is to correct the damage already done. 32. Why were ALR motorways introduced? A. To reduce serious traffic accidents. B. To relieve traffic jam at low costs. C. To save money on road maintenance. D. To improve motorists’driving skills. 33. What can we infer from paragraph 2? A. Roads with a hard shoulder posed little threat. B. Smart motorways failed to win public favor. C. Ministers were driven by the greed for money. D. Rishi Sunak was forced to stop smart motorways. 34. What does the author suggest the government do? A. Build more emergency areas. B. Invest in technical advances. C. Calculate the potential damage. D. Keep a hard shoulder in place. 35. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Smart Motorways Are Not Clever Without a Hard Shoulder B. Smart Motorways Witnessed Catastrophic Breakdowns C. Smart Motorways Benefit From Technological Innovation D Smart Motorways Raised the Doubts of the General Public 第二节 (共5 小题; 每小题2.5分, 满分 12.5 分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 A quick browse of the FitTok tag reveals our madness with maximum fitness — couples lifting one another overhead, mums sprinting from room to room with pushchairs, which can make the average gymgoer feel hopeless. ____36____ Try these achievable goals.

The produce from their garden was sold at the farmer's market. This is how they made their living. Jennifer often pretended the plants she tended were beautiful tulips, like Mrs. Talia’s prize flowers. “Foolish girl!” her mother scolded. “Flowers can't be eaten! Tend to the vegetables. That's our living.” Jennifer knew her mother was right. The only person in the village who made money selling flowers was Mrs. Talia. She grew tulips and sold them to local flower shops. Every year she won first prize at the Tulip Festival. Other contestants whispered that Mrs. Talia used magic to grow her tulips. How else could she win first prize twenty years in a row? Jennifer envied Mrs. Talia. If she could sell flowers like Mrs. Talia, she would be able to buy things for her mother. But tulips were expensive to start, and Jennifer could only dream about growing them. One day, Jennifer visited Mrs. Talia to see her flowers. Mrs. Talia was inspecting her tulips when she arrived. The garden of flowers springing up thrilled Jennifer. Mrs. Talia shattered her daydream. “Spying on me again!”Mrs. Talia frowned. Jennifer took a deep breath and explained she came only to see her flowers, hoping to grow such beautiful tulips and win a prize at the festival like her. “You! Win a prize growing flowers?”Mrs. Talia chuckled and told Jennifer the secret to growing prize tulips had been passed down to her from past generations of her family. Mrs. Talia patted her shoulder and said sticking to vegetables was a better choice for her. Mrs. Talia returned to her gardening, ignoring the sad look on Jennifer’s face. Then she pulled up what looked like a weed. “What's that?” Jennifer asked. Mrs. Talia said it was only a shabby plant and then threw it over the fence into the field beside the garden. Jennifer smiled and had an idea. She bowed farewell to Mrs. Talia and went out of the garden gate. Jennifer looked down at the discarded plant on the village path and glanced back. Mrs. Talia was busy minding her prize tulips. Jennifer quickly bent over and picked up the plant before rushing home. 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。 Jennifer wondered what she should do with her plant. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Jennifer got up on festival morning. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$null 丽水市 2023学年第二学期普通高中教学质量监控 高二英语试题卷 本试卷分第Ⅰ卷(选择题)和第Ⅱ卷(非选择题)。 第 I 卷 注意事项： 1.答第Ⅰ卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2.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。不能答在本试卷上，否则无效。 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段小对话。每段对话后有一个小题，请从题中所给的 A、B、C 三个选项中选出最佳选项，并标在答题卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后，你都有 10 秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 How many offices does the man’s company have?

What does the passage mainly talk about? A. The problems the USPS meets. B. How to make a lot of money. C. The method to arrange the retired people. 20. What can we learn from the passage? A. USPS is newly formed in America. B. Only by making major change can the problem be solved. C. USPS can pay any payment of health care for future retirees. 【答案】18. C 19. A 20. B 【解析】 【原文】The United States Postal Service, or USPS, has a long history in America. Benjamin Franklin was appointed as the first head of the postal service, in 1775. However, the Postal Service says its income has not kept up with growing costs nowadays. The service says most of its recent losses result from making payments to its health care program for retired people. About a billion dollars of the loss is payments for injured workers. The news from April to June was not all bad. Improvements in the economy added a 9% increase in income from shipping and delivery. Because it is less costly to send letters and packages in the mail than to use private companies. To improve its financial health, the agency has proposed cutting service on Saturdays. It also wants Congress to cancel a requirement that the postal service makes advance payments to the health care program for retired workers. On August 1st, USPS failed to make a required payment of 5.5 billion dollars for health care benefits for future retirees. It is the first time the postal service has ever failed to make such a payment. And, without major changes, it will continue to lose billions of dollars a year. 第二部分：阅读理解 (共两节，满分50分) 第一节 (共15小题; 每小题2.5分, 满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D 四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 A These new acquisitions include works by some of the youngest living artists ever collected by the British Museum, presented alongside works by famous artists from Mary Delany and Edouard Manet, to Barbara Hepworth, Andy Warhol and Yinka Shonibare. The show will be touring venues around the UK from the October 2023 to July2024. In this surprising and thought-provoking selection, emerging artists take the medium of drawing in new directions and use innovative approaches. A wide range of techniques and practices are represented, including drawings using make-up on face wipes by Sin Wai Kin and a drawing made with chalk collected from the White Cliffs of Dover by Josephine Baker. Artists show how drawing, often considered a quiet or private medium, can be used to challenge social norms (规范), explore identity and protest injustice. Catherine Anyango Grünewald has described the time and labour invested in her monumental drawings as a “direct admiration” for their subjects, often the victims of institutional crimes. The painstaking de tail of Irish artist Miriam de Búrca’s drawings of earth forces us to confront an uncomfortable history. This tour has evolved from an exhibition at the British Museum, and each gallery will offer their unique take on the works. Supported by the Dorset Foundation in memory of Harry M Weinrebe. 21. What can we learn from the first paragraph? A. The tour has a duration of one year and a half. B. Visitors can enjoy the tour only in the British Museum. C. Some works on exhibition were created by young artists. D. Famous artists can teach visitors painting skills in person. 22. What do Sin Wai Kin and Josephine Baker have in common? A. They employ innovative methods. B. They represent famous artists. C. They collect surprising drawings. D. They prefer a new but risky direction. 23. Who makes efforts to show respect to the subjects of works? A. Mary Delany. B. Harry M Weinrebe. C. Barbara Hepworth. D. Catherine Anyango Grünewald. 【答案】21. C 22. A 23.

For as long as I can remember I always liked teaching people something. From my childhood, I taught whatever I learned in school. It started with helping some trying to tie their shoelaces or making my younger siblings remember alphabets through a sing-song rhythm. This profession will enable me to make my humble contribution to the building of my nation by instilling the spirit of nationalism and patriotism in my students. The sense of accomplishment I used to feel when the other person finally learned whatever it was that I had been teaching them was indescribable. The main reason I always wanted to teach was that firstly I thought teaching comes naturally to me and secondly, I always had the utmost respect for my teacher, who knew my strengths and weakness more than I did. According to Plato, education is the turning of the inner eye towards the light. By adopting the profession of teaching, I can hope to perform this stupendous task. I aspire to make a difference in others’ lives through education. I’m studying to be an elementary school teacher because I believe that children can achieve so much more if they learn early of their potential. My parents taught me as a child that schooling was vital to success in life. Truly, that lesson has been the most important in my path to college. I don’t think I would have made it this far had I not taken my education seriously. What started from teaching my siblings in their homework ended in me volunteering to teach underprivileged children and making me realize that in this world there could be never enough educators and there are people in this world who are always in need of learning. I want to teach others about the importance of education so they too can prosper. Everything I’m learning at university is important for my future career and, if I don’t study it, I'm failing my future students. In view of the foregoing reasons, I am convinced that my preference to become a teacher is a step in the right direction. I will, therefore, spare no effort to achieve this ambition of my life. 24. The author mentioned the childhood experience to_________. A. share the sense of accomplishment B. advocate nationalism and patriotism C. explain the inborn passion for teaching D. introduce several ways to help others 25. What does the word “stupendous” underlined in paragraph 2 refer to? A. Impossible. B. Impressive. C. Indescribable. D. Imaginary. 26. What inspires the author to become an elementary school teacher? A. The significance of education. B. The power of students’ potential. C. The life of the university. D. The successful career of parents. 27. What has the author learned from the voluntary work? A. Being a teacher is effortless. B. Poor children fail to be educators. C. Studying in university is not enough. D. Education should be accessible to all. 【答案】24. C 25. B 26. A 27. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章作者阐述了自己成为一名教师的梦想和追求。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“For as long as I can remember I always liked teaching people something. From my childhood, I taught whatever I learned in school.(我记得从我记事起，我就一直喜欢教别人一些东西。从童年开始，我就教我在学校学到的东西)”可知，作者提到自己从童年开始就喜欢教别人东西，这解释了他对教学的天生热情。由此推知，作者提到童年经历是为了解释自己对教学的天生热情。故选C。 【25题详解】 词句猜测题。根据上文“According to Plato, education is the turning of the inner eye towards the light.(根据柏拉图的说法，教育是使内在的眼睛转向光明)”可知，作者希望通过从事教育事业来完成这项令人印象深刻的任务。由此可知，划线词stupendous意为“令人印象深刻的”。故选B。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“I aspire to make a difference in others’ lives through education. I’m studying to be an elementary school teacher because I believe that children can achieve so much more if they learn early of their potential. My parents taught me as a child that schooling was vital to success in life. Truly, that lesson has been the most important in my path to college. I don’t think I would have made it this far had I not taken my education seriously.(我渴望通过教育改变他人的生活。我正在学习成为一名小学教师，因为我相信如果孩子们能尽早了解到自己的潜力，他们就能取得更多的成就。我的父母在我小时候就告诉我，学校教育对人生成功至关重要。的确，这一教诲是我通往大学道路上最重要的一课。如果我没有认真对待我的教育，我不认为我能走到这一步)”可知，作者提到自己渴望通过教育改变别人的生活，并且提到自己的父母教育自己学习的重要性，这是自己走向大学的最重要的教训。由此推知，作者认为教育的意义非常重要，这激发了他成为一名小学教师的愿望。故选A。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“What started from teaching my siblings in their homework ended in me volunteering to teach underprivileged children and making me realize that in this world there could be never enough educators and there are people in this world who are always in need of learning.(从教兄弟姐妹做作业开始，我最终成为了志愿者，教授贫困儿童，这让我意识到在这个世界上，教育者永远不会足够，而且总是有人需要学习)”可知，作者通过参与志愿工作教授贫困儿童，深刻意识到在这个世界上教育对于所有人来说都是必要的，不应该被限制。这表明作者认为教育应该普及到每个人。由此推知，从志愿工作中作者学到的是“教育应该对所有人都是可及的”。故选D。 C Researchers from the GIGA — Center of Research Cyclotron at the University of Liège have discovered that the sleeping body reacts to the external world while sleeping, which explains how some sensory input might influence sleep quality. Researchers from ULi ège worked with the University of Fribourg in Switzerland to study if the body genuinely disconnects from the outside world while sleeping. They focused on how the heartbeat changes when we hear different words while sleeping. They discovered that calming words reduced cardiac (心脏的) activity as a reflection of deeper sleep, in contrast to neutral phrases, which did not have the same effect. This result, reported in the Journal of Sleep Research, throws fresh light on brain-heart interactions during sleep. A previous study analyzing brain data showed that relaxing words increased deep sleep duration and sleep quality, showing that we can positively influence sleep using meaningful words. By that time, the authors reasoned that the brain might still process sensory input in a way that made our bodies feel more relaxed after hearing soothing phrases while sleeping. In this new study, the authors were able to measure cardiac activity to test this idea and discovered that the heart slows down only after the display of calming phrases. Markers of cardiac and brain activity were then compared to understand how much they contributed to the modulation (演变) of sleep by auditory information. Cardiac activity has been indeed proposed to contribute to the way we perceive the world directly, but such evidence has so far been obtained in wakefulness. With these results, the ULi ège researchers showed that it was also true in sleep, offering a new perspective on the essential role of bodily reactions beyond brain data for our understanding of sleep. “Most of sleep research focuses on the brain and rarely investigates bodily activity,” says Dr. Schmidt. This study takes a more complete approach to the modulation of sleep functions by sensory information. By investigating cardiac reactions to noises, we may be able to research in the future the involvement of the body in the way sounds influence emotional processing of memories while sleeping. 28 What can we learn about the sleeping body from the first two paragraphs? A. It disconnects from the outside world. B. It reacts positively to calming words. C. It makes no response to neutral words. D. It suffers the changes of the heartbeat. 29. What did the new study focus on? A. Unpleasant noise. B. The modulation of sleep. C. Cardiac activity. D. The function of the brain. 30. Why were the markers compared? A. To understand the world directly. B. To obtain information in wakefulness. C. To study the impact of sensory input on sleep. D. To test the accuracy of auditory information. 31. What is the author’s attitude toward the new study? A. Unclear. B. Indifferent. C. Doubtful. D. Approving. 【答案】28. B 29. C 30. C 31. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述研究人员发现，睡眠中的身体在睡觉时会对外部世界做出反应。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第二段中“They discovered that calming words reduced cardiac (心脏的) activity as a reflection of deeper sleep, in contrast to neutral phrases, which did not have the same effect. (他们发现，与中性话语相比，平静的话语会减少心脏活动，这反映了更深的睡眠，而中性短语则没有同样的效果。)”可知，平静的话语会减少心脏活动，这反映了更深的睡眠；由此可知，睡眠中的身体对平静的话语有积极的反应。故选B项。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第二段中“They focused on how the heartbeat changes when we hear different words while sleeping.(他们关注的是当我们在睡觉时听到不同的话语时，心跳是如何变化的。)”可知，新的研究重点是心脏活动。故选C项。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第四段中“Markers of cardiac and brain activity were then compared to understand how much they contributed to the modulation (演变) of sleep by auditory information. (然后比较心脏和大脑活动的标志物，以了解它们对听觉信息调节睡眠的贡献有多大。)”可知，将这些标志物进行比较，以研究声音输入对睡眠的影响。故选C项。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。由文章最后一段“By investigating cardiac reactions to noises, we may be able to research in the future the involvement of the body in the way sounds influence emotional processing of memories while sleeping.(通过研究心脏对噪音的反应，我们可能能够在未来研究声音影响睡眠时记忆情绪处理的方式与身体的关系。)”可知，作者对新研究的态度是支持赞成的，作者认为通过研究心脏对噪音的反应，可能能够在未来研究声音影响睡眠时记忆情绪处理的方式与身体的关系。故选D项。 D Ten years ago, Britain’s first stretch of all-lane running (ALR)“smart” motorway was introduced, with more to follow. As a way to ease congestion (堵塞) without spending money on widening roads, ALR motorways function without a hard shoulder for drivers in difficulty. As they were rolled out, motorists were assured that the emergency lane would not be missed, as new technologies would be able to respond to breakdowns, and control traffic flow. The public was understandably doubtful about how smart this idea was, and it turned out the public was right. Smart motorways without a hard shoulder have been found to be three times more dangerous than ones where drivers have that option. Behind the data lie terrible incidents, in which stationary (不动的) vehicles have been ploughed into from behind with serious consequences. Rightly, Rishi Sunak last year stopped plans for more ALR motorways, citing a lack of public confidence. But he should go further. The RAC this week called for a hard shoulder to be restored on all smart motorways. That advice should be listened to in Whitehall and acted upon. A 2021 House of Commons transport committee report made shockingly clear that before rolling the “no emergency lane” policy out, ministers driven by the desire to save money failed to do due diligence on the safety risks attached. Since then, plans to retrofit (翻新) refuge areas along motorway routes have proceeded at a snail’s pace. Of the 150 emergency areas due to be in place by next year, only a tiny proportion have been delivered. Even when all are up and running, the risk of a catastrophic breakdown in onrushing traffic will remain. At a minimum, the government should move to a system of “dynamic” motorways, where emergency lanes are only opened to traffic at particularly busy periods. But the preferable solution would be to restore a permanent hard shoulder. This could be done while keeping the benefits of investment in technical innovations that allow traffic to be better monitored and flexibly regulated. Mr Sunak did the right thing in bringing a foolish experiment to an end. The next task is to correct the damage already done. 32. Why were ALR motorways introduced? A. To reduce serious traffic accidents. B. To relieve traffic jam at low costs. C. To save money on road maintenance. D. To improve motorists’driving skills. 33. What can we infer from paragraph 2? A. Roads with a hard shoulder posed little threat. B. Smart motorways failed to win public favor. C. Ministers were driven by the greed for money. D. Rishi Sunak was forced to stop smart motorways. 34. What does the author suggest the government do? A. Build more emergency areas. B. Invest in technical advances. C. Calculate the potential damage. D. Keep a hard shoulder in place. 35. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Smart Motorways Are Not Clever Without a Hard Shoulder B. Smart Motorways Witnessed Catastrophic Breakdowns C. Smart Motorways Benefit From Technological Innovation D. Smart Motorways Raised the Doubts of the General Public 【答案】32. B 33. B 34. D 35. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍全车道运行（ALR）“智能”高速公路所存在的问题以及补救措施。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第一段中“As a way to ease congestion (堵塞) without spending money on widening roads, ALR motorways function without a hard shoulder for drivers in difficulty. As they were rolled out, motorists were assured that the emergency lane would not be missed, as new technologies would be able to respond to breakdowns, and control traffic flow.(作为一种在不花钱拓宽道路的情况下缓解拥堵的方法，ALR高速公路的运行对有困难的司机来说没有困难。随着它们的推出，驾驶者得到了保证，不会错过紧急车道，因为新技术将能够应对故障并控制交通流量。)”可推知，引入ALR高速公路是为了以低成本缓解交通堵塞。故选B项。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第二段中“The public was understandably doubtful about how smart this idea was, and it turned out the public was right. (公众对这个想法有多聪明表示怀疑，这是可以理解的，事实证明公众是对的。)”可推知，公众对智能高速公路质疑，换句话说，智能高速公路未能赢得公众的青睐。故选B项。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第四段中“But the preferable solution would be to restore a permanent hard shoulder. This could be done while keeping the benefits of investment in technical innovations that allow traffic to be better monitored and flexibly regulated. (但更可取的解决方案是恢复永久性的硬路肩。这可以在保持技术创新投资的好处的同时实现，从而更好地监控和灵活监管交通。)”可知，作者建议政府保持硬路肩。故选D项。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。由文章第二段“Smart motorways without a hard shoulder have been found to be three times more dangerous than ones where drivers have that option.(研究发现，没有硬路肩的智能高速公路的危险性是驾驶员有硬路肩的高速公路的三倍。)”以及上下文可知，文章主要介绍全车道运行（ALR）“智能”高速公路没有硬路肩所存在的问题以及补救措施，所以A项“Smart Motorways Are Not Clever Without a Hard Shoulder(没有硬路肩，智能高速公路就不智能)”符合文意。故选A项。 第二节 (共5 小题; 每小题2.5分, 满分 12.5 分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 A quick browse of the FitTok tag reveals our madness with maximum fitness — couples lifting one another overhead, mums sprinting from room to room with pushchairs, which can make the average gymgoer feel hopeless. ____36____ Try these achievable goals.

The produce from their garden was sold at the farmer's market. This is how they made their living. Jennifer often pretended the plants she tended were beautiful tulips, like Mrs. Talia’s prize flowers. “Foolish girl!” her mother scolded. “Flowers can't be eaten! Tend to the vegetables. That's our living.” Jennifer knew her mother was right. The only person in the village who made money selling flowers was Mrs. Talia. She grew tulips and sold them to local flower shops. Every year she won first prize at the Tulip Festival. Other contestants whispered that Mrs. Talia used magic to grow her tulips. How else could she win first prize twenty years in a row? Jennifer envied Mrs. Talia. If she could sell flowers like Mrs. Talia, she would be able to buy things for her mother. But tulips were expensive to start, and Jennifer could only dream about growing them. One day, Jennifer visited Mrs. Talia to see her flowers. Mrs. Talia was inspecting her tulips when she arrived. The garden of flowers springing up thrilled Jennifer. Mrs. Talia shattered her daydream. “Spying on me again!”Mrs. Talia frowned. Jennifer took a deep breath and explained she came only to see her flowers, hoping to grow such beautiful tulips and win a prize at the festival like her. “You! Win a prize growing flowers?”Mrs. Talia chuckled and told Jennifer the secret to growing prize tulips had been passed down to her from past generations of her family. Mrs. Talia patted her shoulder and said sticking to vegetables was a better choice for her. Mrs. Talia returned to her gardening, ignoring the sad look on Jennifer’s face. Then she pulled up what looked like a weed. “What's that?” Jennifer asked. Mrs. Talia said it was only a shabby plant and then threw it over the fence into the field beside the garden. Jennifer smiled and had an idea. She bowed farewell to Mrs. Talia and went out of the garden gate. Jennifer looked down at the discarded plant on the village path and glanced back. Mrs. Talia was busy minding her prize tulips.

Finally, her tireless efforts paid off. Each time Jennifer visited her little plant, it looked greener and taller, giving her an increasing hope that she might win a prize at the festival. Jennifer got up on festival morning. Her heart pounding with anticipation, she went to greet her vibrant, exotic flower.
