Have you seen a difference in your neighborhood because of the actions of one or many? Every year we ask you to reflect on the effect you’ve had on others or your neighborhood! It can be a big or small act——just as long as you write about an example where you went above and beyond to help out. Write about your experiences of volunteering or making a difference.”（你是如何改变你的社区的？你是否看到你的邻居因为一个人或许多人的行为而有所不同？每年我们都会让你反思你对别人或你的邻居的影响！这可以是一个或大或小的行为——只要你写一个例子，你是如何竭尽全力帮助别人的。写下你做志愿者的经历或做出改变的经历。）可知，参赛作品的重点应该是关于参赛者对社区的贡献。故选B项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Deadline: January 1, 2025.”（截止日期：2025年1月1日。）以及Rules:中“Your entries must be submitted(提交) through our website, so you’d better have an account of our website.”（参赛作品必须通过我们的网站提交，所以你最好有我们网站的账号。）可知，2025年2月1日以邮寄方式提交参赛作品会导致被拒绝。故选D项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Prizes:中“Winners and honorable mentions will have their entry published in our magazine in February2025.”（获奖者和荣誉奖获得者的作品将于2025年2月在我们的杂志上发表。）可知，荣誉奖获得者有机会发表他们的作品。故选D项。 B A UK organization is looking to hire five people—a base leader, a shop manager, and three general assistants—to work at the “Penguin Post Office” in Port Lockroy, Antarctica. The jobs are open to UK residents over the age of 18, beginning in early November 2024 and last until March2025, the season of summer in Antarctica. Responsibilities will include sorting the over 80,000 letters and postcards sent by the 18,000tourists who visit the world’s southernmost post office each summer. Employees will also help sell postage stamps, run the small onsite gift shop, and look after the aging building. But their most important duty will be to keep track of Port Lockroy’s group of about 1,500 gentoo penguins. Exciting as it may sound, the UK organization warns applicants that the jobs are not for those who lack courage. Even during summer, temperatures on the icy continent can be as low as -5℃.Additionally, the five people will live in a single bedroom with a tiny gas-powered kitchen. There is no flushing toilet. Instead, they will use a camping toilet, which must be emptied daily. There is limited phone and Internet access and no running water. Visiting ships provide water in cans and also offer the staff showers every few days. But in poor weather conditions, they may have to do without a shower for extended periods. With the closest hospital in Argentina, medical evacuations (遣送) could take up to a week! However, the biggest challenge will be the smell of penguin waste that will surround them all through their work process! Despite these problems, the positions, which open up every summer, receive thousands of applications each year. Camilla Nichol, the organization’s CEO, is not surprised. She believes that for the right individuals, the jobs provide “a unique opportunity to live in a landscape that makes you feel awe (敬畏) and wonder, where pioneering generations have gone before us, making groundbreaking discoveries about our planet.” 4. What can we learn about the “Penguin Post Office” from the text? A. It is only open every summer. B. It is the northernmost post office. C. It deals with 18,000 letters every year. D. It is run by volunteers from all over the world. 5. What is the main task for the employees? A. Repainting the “Penguin Post Office”. B. Designing and printing their own stamps. C. Helping with penguin population research. D. Posting gifts from Antarctica to other places. 6. What’s the biggest problem the staff must face? A. The crowded bedroom. B. The lack of water resources. C. The extremely cold weather. D. The smelly working environment. 7. What does Camilla Nichol think of so many applications for the jobs? A. It is stressful. B. It is rare. C. It is not easy to understand. D. It is not unexpected. 【答案】4. A 5. C 6. D 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。文章介绍了一个英国组织招聘人员前往南极的“企鹅邮局”工作的情况，详细说明了招聘的职位、工作内容、工作环境和挑战，以及该职位的申请情况。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“The jobs are open to UK residents over the age of 18, beginning in early November 2024 and last until March2025, the season of summer in Antarctica.(对18岁以上的英国居民开放，从2024年11月初开始，一直持续到2025年3月，也就是南极洲的夏季)”可知，“Penguin Post Office”只在南极夏季开放。故选A项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Responsibilities will include sorting the over 80,000 letters and postcards sent by the 18,000tourists who visit the world’s southernmost post office each summer. Employees will also help sell postage stamps, run the small onsite gift shop, and look after the aging building. But their most important duty will be to keep track of Port Lockroy’s group of about 1,500 gentoo penguins.(他们的职责包括整理每年夏天1.8万名游客寄来的8万多封信件和明信片。员工还将帮助销售邮票，经营小型现场礼品店，并照顾老化的建筑。但他们最重要的任务是跟踪Port Lockroy大约1500只巴布亚企鹅)”可知，员工的最重要的任务是跟踪Port Lockroy的大约1500只金图企鹅，这暗示了员工需要帮助进行企鹅种群研究。故选C项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“However, the biggest challenge will be the smell of penguin waste that will surround them all through their work process!(然而，他们将要面临的最大挑战将是企鹅排泄物的气味，这种气味将在他们整个工作过程中一直伴随着他们！)”可知，员工必须面对的最大问题是臭气熏天的工作环境。故选D项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Despite these problems, the positions, which open up every summer, receive thousands of applications each year. Camilla Nichol, the organization’s CEO, is not surprised. She believes that for the right individuals, the jobs provide “a unique opportunity to live in a landscape that makes you feel awe (敬畏) and wonder, where pioneering generations have gone before us, making groundbreaking discoveries about our planet.”(尽管存在这些问题，这些每年夏天开放的职位每年还是会收到数千份申请。该组织的首席执行官Camilla Nichol对此并不感到惊讶。她认为，对于合适的人来说，这些工作提供了“一个独特的机会，让你生活在一个让你感到敬畏和惊奇的环境中，在我们之前，先辈们已经走到了这里，对我们的星球做出了突破性的发现。”)”可知，Camilla Nichol表示她并不惊讶这个职位每年收到成千上万的申请，她认为这个工作为适合的人提供了一个独特的机会，因此她对这个情况并不感到意外。故选D项。 C Like rainbows, a green flash during sunset is another example of an optical phenomenon (光学现象) that occurs regularly in our daily life and seems magical when you see one yourself. Similar to how rainbows appear when sunlight is scattered (散射) through raindrops, green flashes during sunsets — and sometimes sunrises — happen when sunlight passes through a thick layer (层) of Earth’s atmosphere. As the sun’s light moves through Earth’s atmosphere, it gets bent, creating a beautiful and colorful sight that can be seen by human eyes. This bending of light is what sometimes lets us see a green color around the sun. The different temperatures in the atmosphere also bear on it, according to Bay Area meteorologist and photographer Jan Null. Right over the ocean, there is cooler air, but sometimes there is a layer of warm air above it. The difference of density (密度) caused by warm and cool temperatures creates something that Null calls a “coastal inversion” when the wind blows from the land towards the sea, bending the setting sun’s light. But why is the flash green? As the sunlight is bent by the atmosphere, the green light becomes concentrated and separates from the other colors in the light, creating that brilliant green flash. To have a chance of seeing a green flash in the Bay Area, find a viewpoint near the coast, where the view of the sun setting isn’t blocked—and watch the sun as it starts disappearing into the horizon. As for the best time, that will be on a relatively warm, clear day with a light offshore wind that will help create those “coastal inversions”. Null warned that the green flash will last just a few seconds, making it even harder to spot only with eyes. That is why some people claim it doesn’t even exist. For those lucky enough to wait patiently to see this attractive sight, it will all be worth it, he said. 8. Under which condition can green flashes happen? A. When sunlight is bent through thick air. B. When sunlight is reflected on the calm sea. C. When sunlight is scattered through raindrops. D. When the warm and cool temperatures meet. 9. What does the underlined part “bear on” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Play a role in. B. Depend on. C. Differ from. D. Give way to. 10. Why is it most likely to see a green flash near the coast on a fine day? A. There are not too many clouds. B. There is wind blowing from the sea. C. There is a coastal inversion. D. There is so much water to bend the sunlight. 11. What can be known about green flashes from the last paragraph? A. It is true that they do not exist at all. B. It is far from worthwhile to wait to see them. C. It is easy to discover them with proper equipment. D. It is barely possible to see them with human eyes. 【答案】8. A 9. A 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。它详细解释了绿色闪光这一光学现象的科学原理，包括其产生的原因、观察的条件以及持续时间等。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Similar to how rainbows appear when sunlight is scattered (散射) through raindrops, green flashes during sunsets — and sometimes sunrises — happen when sunlight passes through a thick layer (层) of Earth’s atmosphere. As the sun’s light moves through Earth’s atmosphere, it gets bent, creating a beautiful and colorful sight that can be seen by human eyes. This bending of light is what sometimes lets us see a green color around the sun.(类似于当阳光通过雨滴散射时彩虹的出现，在日落时——有时是日出——当阳光穿过厚厚的地球大气层时就会出现绿色的闪光。当太阳光穿过地球大气层时，它会弯曲，形成人类肉眼可以看到的美丽而多彩的景象。这种光的弯曲有时会让我们看到太阳周围的绿色)”可知，绿色闪光发生的条件是当太阳光被厚空气折射弯曲时。故选A项。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据后文“Right over the ocean, there is cooler air, but sometimes there is a layer of warm air above it. The difference of density (密度) caused by warm and cool temperatures creates something that Null calls a “coastal inversion” when the wind blows from the land towards the sea, bending the setting sun’s light.(在海洋的正上方，有较冷的空气，但有时在其上方有一层温暖的空气。当风从陆地吹向海洋时，由温暖和凉爽的温度引起的密度差异产生了Null所说的“海岸逆温”，弯曲了夕阳的光线)”可知，不同的温度也会对其产生影响，推知bear on在这里的意思是“对……有影响”，即不同的温度对大气有影响，进而影响绿色闪光的发生，和A项意思相近。故选A项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“To have a chance of seeing a green flash in the Bay Area, find a viewpoint near the coast, where the view of the sun setting isn’t blocked—and watch the sun as it starts disappearing into the horizon. As for the best time, that will be on a relatively warm, clear day with a light offshore wind that will help create those “coastal inversions”.(要想有机会在湾区看到绿色闪光，找一个靠近海岸的观景点，在那里太阳落山的景色不会被阻挡，然后看着太阳开始消失在地平线上。至于最佳时间，那将是一个相对温暖、晴朗的日子，有轻微的离岸风，这将有助于产生“海岸逆温”)”可知，在海岸附近的好天气里，最有可能看到绿色闪光的原因是存在海岸逆温现象。故选C项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Null warned that the green flash will last just a few seconds, making it even harder to spot only with eyes. That is why some people claim it doesn’t even exist. For those lucky enough to wait patiently to see this attractive sight, it will all be worth it, he said.(Null警告说，绿色的闪光只会持续几秒钟，这使得单凭眼睛更难发现它。这就是为什么有些人声称它根本不存在。他说，对于那些足够幸运耐心等待的人来说，这一切都是值得的)”可知，用肉眼几乎不可能看到绿色闪光。故选D项。 D Universities spent the late 1990s and early 2000s ensuring students could attach documents to email, fill out spreadsheets and perform other basic computer skills. But the information age has led to a major change, with a new focus on digital or media literacy (素养) for incoming students. Florida State University (FSU) joins a small but growing number of universities adding the requirement. Since last year, FSU has required incoming students to complete a digital-literacy course even as it calls off the familiar computer ability requirement. Digital literacy is closer to what has often been referred to as media literacy with a focus on understanding and recognizing correct online news sources, misinformation, opinions and advertising. The ongoing influence of social media, concerns about purposely false news stories and the rise of artificial intelligence (AI) have added urgency to the effort. In a 2019 study, almost every high school student was unable to differentiate between right and fake (虚假的) news articles. We don’t expect somehow that the population will improve in that regard in only four years. The structure of a new digital-literacy requirement depends on the university. For FSU, the requirement is dependent upon the major. For example, a digital-literacy requirement for a journalism major would require different courses from a biology major. This is for all the students and all the majors and it’s going to be a challenge. In addition to the new requirements, several universities have digital-literacy courses, and a few created majors for the topic. Arizona State University offers a digital-media literacy undergraduate degree, while Indiana Wesleyan University has a master’s degree in technology and digital literacy in education. Universities do face challenges putting digital-literacy courses into practice, including finding professionals in the fast-changing subject while students often consider themselves to be experts. There is also the potential disadvantage of having another graduation requirement. While literacy courses do improve literacy, such courses are not a perfect fix. A single class on digital literacy doesn’t necessarily make you literate. 12. What is the benefit of media literacy for college students? A. Keeping them far away from social media. B. Making them well informed of achievements in AI. C. Leading them to master more useful basic computer skills. D. Enabling them to tell whether online information is true or not. 13. What is the author’s attitude to media literacy of today’s students? A. Optimistic. B. Unclear. C. Worried. D. Uncaring. 14. What makes it hard for universities to carry out the digital-literacy requirement? A. Students don’t have proper digital devices. B. Its structure depends on the university. C. Universities have some financial problems. D. No professor is willing to teach it. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. Digital or Media Literacy B. Colleges’ New Requirement C. Challenges from Artificial Intelligence D. Graduation Requirements of Universities 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. B 15. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了20世纪90年代末和21世纪初，大学一直在确保学生能够将文件附加到电子邮件中，填写电子表格以及执行其他基本的计算机技能。但信息时代带来了重大变化，新生的数字或媒体素养受到了新的关注。佛罗里达州立大学(FSU)加入了增加这一要求的大学行列。自去年以来，FSU要求新生完成一门数字素养课程，尽管它取消了熟悉的计算机能力要求。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Digital literacy is closer to what has often been referred to as media literacy with a focus on understanding and recognizing correct online news sources, misinformation, opinions and advertising.”（数字素养更接近通常所说的媒体素养，其重点是理解和识别正确的在线新闻来源、错误信息、观点和广告。）可知，媒体素养对大学生的好处是使他们能够分辨网上信息的真假。故选D项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“In a 2019 study, almost every high school student was unable to differentiate between right and fake (虚假的) news articles. We don’t expect somehow that the population will improve in that regard in only four years.”（在2019年的一项研究中，几乎所有高中生都无法区分正确和虚假的新闻文章。我们不指望在短短四年内人口就能在这方面有所改善。）可推知，作者对当今学生的媒体素养的态度是感到担心的。故选C项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“The structure of a new digital-literacy requirement depends on the university. For FSU, the requirement is dependent upon the major. For example, a digital-literacy requirement for a journalism major would require different courses from a biology major. This is for all the students and all the majors and it’s going to be a challenge.”（新的数字素养要求的结构取决于大学。对于FSU，要求取决于专业。例如，新闻专业的数字素养要求与生物专业的课程不同。这是针对所有学生和所有专业的，这将是一个挑战。）可知，大学难以实现数字素养的要求是因为其结构取决于大学。故选B项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及第一段“Universities spent the late 1990s and early 2000s ensuring students could attach documents to email, fill out spreadsheets and perform other basic computer skills. But the information age has led to a major change, with a new focus on digital or media literacy (素养) for incoming students.”（20世纪90年代末和21世纪初，大学一直在确保学生能够将文件附加到电子邮件中，填写电子表格以及执行其他基本的计算机技能。但信息时代带来了重大变化，新生的数字或媒体素养受到了新的关注。）和第二段中“Florida State University (FSU) joins a small but growing number of universities adding the requirement. Since last year, FSU has required incoming students to complete a digital-literacy course even as it calls off the familiar computer ability requirement.”（佛罗里达州立大学(FSU)加入了增加这一要求的大学行列。自去年以来，FSU要求新生完成一门数字素养课程，尽管它取消了熟悉的计算机能力要求。）可知，文章主要讲的是20世纪90年代末和21世纪初，大学一直在确保学生能够将文件附加到电子邮件中，填写电子表格以及执行其他基本的计算机技能。但信息时代带来了重大变化，新生的数字或媒体素养受到了新的关注。佛罗里达州立大学(FSU)加入了增加这一要求的大学行列。自去年以来，FSU要求新生完成一门数字素养课程，尽管它取消了熟悉的计算机能力要求。由此可知，文章最好的标题是“大学的新要求”。故选B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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 We’ve all set our alarms so we have just enough time to go through our morning routine (惯例) and hurry out the door. ____16____. While the following tips are just from my own personal experience, I hope that some of them will help you find satisfaction when it’s difficult to pull yourself out of bed. ◎Wake up early Jumping straight into a class isn’t my best way to wake up. Setting my alarm for 7 AM has given me time to relax in the morning before moving to the less enjoyable tasks I need to finish. Waking up early has also helped me adjust my nighttime routine. ____17____. ◎Stay off social media In my own experience, starting my morning by looking through posts and short videos makes me more likely to use social media throughout the day. Spend a few hours off social media before you check any updates. ____18____. And you had better only log (登录) on once or twice a day. ◎____19____ The best part about waking up early is the guiltless period of peace you have before the rush of afternoon work or study. While some like to sit outside and listen to music, taking in some vitamin D, others choose to meditate (冥想) or journal. Whatever way you choose to relax, find something enjoyable and try to make it part of your routine. ◎Don’t push yourself beyond your limits Some days you will wake up, make coffee, go for a run and prepare a meal. Other mornings you may struggle to get out of bed. ____20____. When you fail to follow this perfect morning routine, don’t beat yourself up. The key to having a “good” start to your day is accepting your energy levels without judgment and trying your best to finish the day’s tasks. A. Get ready for the day B. Both of them are okay C. Calm your mind with a relaxing activity D. Better yet, try to set a screen time limit E. As a result, I can produce better work F. Exercise really should be involved in your daily routine G. However, to better start a day, only moving quickly isn’t enough 【答案】16. G 17. E 18. D 19. C 20. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了一些能够让你很好地早起并且感到满足的方法和建议。 【16题详解】 根据上文“We’ve all set our alarms so we have just enough time to go through our morning routine (惯例) and hurry out the door.”（我们都设置了闹钟，所以我们有足够的时间完成早上的例行公事，然后匆匆出门。）引出话题，提到设置闹钟匆忙地完成早上的例行公事。以及下文“While the following tips are just from my own personal experience, I hope that some of them will help you find satisfaction when it’s difficult to pull yourself out of bed.”（虽然下面的建议只是来自我的个人经历，但我希望其中的一些能帮助你在很难把自己从床上拉起来的时候找到满足感。）提到有一些建议帮助你找到满足感。结合选项G项However, to better start a day, only moving quickly isn’t enough.（然而，为了更好地开始新的一天，仅仅行动迅速是不够的。）可知，起到上下文的承上启下作用，上下文语意连贯，符合语境。故选G项。 【17题详解】 根据上文“Jumping straight into a class isn’t my best way to wake up. Setting my alarm for 7 AM has given me time to relax in the morning before moving to the less enjoyable tasks I need to finish.Waking up early has also helped me adjust my nighttime routine.”（直接跳进教室可不是让我清醒的最佳方式。把闹钟定在早上7点让我有时间放松，然后再去做那些我需要完成的不太愉快的任务。早起也帮助我调整了夜间作息习惯。）提到早起让作者放松，可以去完成不太愉快的工作任务，也调整了夜间作息习惯。结合选项E项As a result, I can produce better work.（因此，我可以做出更好的工作。）可知，承接上文内容，与上文是因果关系。故选E项。 【18题详解】 根据该段标题“Stay off social media”（远离社交媒体）以及上文“Spend a few hours off social media before you check any updates.”（在你查看任何更新之前，花几个小时远离社交媒体。）和下文“And you had better only log (登录) on once or twice a day.”（而且你最好一天只登录一两次。）可知，该段主要讲的是远离社交媒体。结合选项D项Better yet, try to set a screen time limit.（更好的办法是，试着设定一个看屏幕的时间限制。）可知，和该段意思主旨一致，都是讲的关于远离社交媒体的方法，上下文语意连贯，符合语境。故选D项。 【19题详解】 由该题为段落小标题可知，为总结该段内容。该段下文“The best part about waking up early is the guiltless period of peace you have before the rush of afternoon work or study. While some like to sit outside and listen to music, taking in some vitamin D, others choose to meditate (冥想) or journal. Whatever way you choose to relax, find something enjoyable and try to make it part of your routine.”（早起最好的部分是在下午的工作或学习之前，你有一段无忧无虑的平静时光。有些人喜欢坐在外面听音乐，促进分泌一些维生素D，有些人则选择冥想或写日记。无论你选择什么样的放松方式，找一些令人愉快的事情，并试着让它成为你日常生活的一部分。）可知，该段主要讲的是找一些令人愉快的事情，并试着让它成为你日常生活的一部分。结合选项C项Calm your mind with a relaxing activity（用放松的活动来平静你的心灵）和该段意思一致，为总结该段内容。故选C项。 【20题详解】 根据上文“Some days you will wake up, make coffee, go for a run and prepare a meal. Other mornings you may struggle to get out of bed.”（在一些日子里你醒来，煮咖啡，去跑步，准备一顿饭。其他的早晨你可能会挣扎着起床。）提到两种不同的情况。以及下文“When you fail to follow this perfect morning routine, don’t beat yourself up.”（当你没有按照这个完美的晨间计划去做时，不要自责。）提到不要自责。结合选项B项Both of them are okay.（它们都没问题。）可知，为对上文两种不同情况的总结，同时，下文是对空格处内容的语意递进，起到上下文的承上启下作用。故选B项。 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，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C 和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Every person has a seed of life purpose in their heart.

They found the 23 bamboo pieces inside a 2,200-year-old tomb (坟墓) in China’s Wulong District, Chongqing City. They are carved with Chinese ____37____ (character) connected to an astronomical calendar known as Tiangan Dizhi. It was started during the Shang Dynasty, ____38____ lasted from 1,600BC to about 1,050 BC. This is the first time that written bamboo pieces linked to the ancient calendar ____39____ (find) in a tomb. The archeologists say round holes on the edge of the bamboo pieces show all 23 were once tied and used together. However, they do not know ____40____ (exact) how the calendar worked. They think that one piece stood ____41____ the then-present year, while the rest were used ____42____ (represent) other years. ____43____ (judge) from the condition of the skeleton (骨架) inside the tomb, archeologists determined that it used to be a strong, middle-aged male. The copper spears, bows and arrows, and other weapons found alongside suggest he may have been good at martial arts. The tomb also contained ____44____ number of high-quality objects, including bronze pots. This has led archeologists to believe ____45____ (it) owner was a person of high position. 【答案】36. what 37. characters 38. which 39. have been found 40. exactly 41. for 42. to represent 43. Judging 44. a 45. its 【解析】 【导语】本文是新闻报道。文章报道了中国考古学家在重庆发现的一组与古代天文历法有关的竹简。 【36题详解】 考查宾语从句。句意：中国考古学家发现了他们认为是古代天文历法的东西。空处引导宾语从句，同时在从句中为主语从句，从句中缺少宾语，表达“……的东西”之意，用连接代词what引导。故填what。 【37题详解】 考查名词。句意：它们刻有与天文历法“天干地志”有关的汉字。空前是形容词，所以空处应填名词作宾语，character为可数名词，根据句意，此处应用其复数形式。故填characters。 【38题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：它始于商朝，从公元前1600年持续到公元前1050年。此处为非限制性定语从句，先行词为the Shang Dynasty，指物，且关系词替代先行词在从句中作主语，故用关系代词which引导该从句。故填which。 39题详解】 考查动词时态和语态。句意：这是首次在坟墓中发现与古代历法有关的竹片。在“This/It is the first time＋that从句”结构中，从句的谓语动词用现在完成时，且bamboo pieces与find之间是被动关系，故此处应用现在完成时的被动语态，注意主谓一致。故填have been found。 【40题详解】 考查副词。句意：然而，他们并不确切知道日历是如何工作的。空处修饰空前的动词know，应用副词exactly作状语。故填exactly。 【41题详解】 考查介词。句意：他们认为一块代表当时的年份，而其余的则代表其他年份。stand for为固定短语，意为“代表”。故填for。 【42题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：他们认为一块代表当时年份，而其余的则代表其他年份。be used to do sth.为固定用法，意为“被用来做某事”，故此处应用不定式形式。故填to represent。 【43题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：根据墓中骨骼的状况，考古学家确定它曾经是一名强壮的中年男性。judging from (从……判断)，作评注性状语，位于句首，首字母应大写。故填Judging。 【44题详解】 考查冠词。句意：坟墓中还包含许多高质量的物品，包括青铜器。a number of为固定短语，意为“许多，大量”。故填a。 【45题详解】 考查代词。句意：这使得考古学家相信它的主人是一个地位很高的人。空后是名词owner，所以空处应填形容词性物主代词its作定语。故填its。 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，你班交换生Tom想参加马拉松比赛，发邮件邀请你暑假陪他一同锻炼。请给他回封邮件，内容包括： 1.婉拒他的请求； 2.推荐他人。 注意：1.写作词数应为80个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Dear Tom, ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】 Dear Tom, Extremely honored to receive your lettering inviting me to be your training partner, I regret to tell you something more.

We did not hold out much hope that the dog we named Tabby would find a home, but we all tried our best to help her anyway. Despite her various challenges, Tabby had a great attitude. She bravely overcame difficulties, recovering from any missteps quickly. The one concern we had for her successfully being placed into a home was that she was easily frightened, particularly when asleep, which even caused her to bite people. Tabby would require a special home in many ways, one that did not include children who might be accidentally injured. The days turned into weeks and then into months and Tabby settled into a comfortable routine. She seemed to like everyone she met, but she regarded a couple of our staff as her own special friends. Her ability to know when one of them arrived at the shelter was really remarkable. When winter began to turn into spring and not a single person had asked about adopting (收养) Tabby, we were sure she would live out her days with us. She was happy and our staff loved her. Her life at the shelter was good, even though we normally hoped for a home for every animal. The promise of spring began to turn into the long days of summer when a mom named Loretta came to the shelter with her three children, including her son, Andrew, a young boy who suffered from seizures (癫痫). It was this boy who had noticed Tabby on the shelter website. What drew him to her was the note on her introduction explaining that she had special needs. As a special needs child, he demanded that they pay Tabby a visit. 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。 It was obvious that the family hardly seemed to be fit for Tabby. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ They did call us, but only to tell us they loved Tabby and wanted to adopt her formally. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】It was obvious that the family hardly seemed to be fit for Tabby. Loretta was initially hesitant, knowing that caring for a dog like Tabby would be difficult, especially considering her son's condition. The staff explained Tabby's special needs, emphasizing that she was easily frightened, particularly when asleep. But Andrew was insistent. He was very sympathetic to the poor puppy's suffering. Surprisingly, Tabby, who was usually so timid, seemed to sense Andrew's gentle nature. She nestled calmly by his side, just like a normal dog. They did call us, but only to tell us they loved Tabby and wanted to adopt her formally. So quickly had the bond formed between the boy and the dog that nobody would believe it. Over the next few days, Loretta and her children visited Tabby several times, each visit strengthening the connection. The staff watched in amazement as Tabby responded to Andrew with a sense of calm and trust that she had shown to no one else. After a careful home visit and all the necessary preparations, along with our love, the “elderly, weak, blind, almost hairless” Tabby finally found her forever home. 【解析】 【导语】本文以动物为线索展开，讲述了动物收容所里一只叫Tabby的狗无人收养。一位名叫洛雷塔的母亲带着她的三个孩子来到收容所，其中包括她的儿子安德鲁，一个患有癫痫的小男孩。就是这个男孩在收容所的网站上注意到了Tabby。吸引他的是对Tabby的介绍，Tabby有特殊需要。作为一个有特殊需要的孩子，他要求家人去看望Tabby。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“很明显，这个家庭似乎不适合Tabby。”可知，第一段可描写工作人员解释了Tabby的特殊需求以及在男孩面前的表现 ②由第二段首句内容“他们确实打电话给我们，但只是告诉我们他们喜欢Tabby ，想正式收养她。”可知，第二段可描写Tabby与男孩的关系得到了加强以及最终Tabby被成功领养。 2.续写线索：洛丽塔有些犹豫——安德鲁坚持——狗狗的表现——狗狗与安德鲁关系加强——被收养 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①形成：form/shape ②拜访：visit/pay a visit to ③加强：strengthen/promote ④相信：trust/believe in 情绪类 ①害怕的：frightened/scared ②令人惊讶地：surprisingly/amazingly 【点睛】[高分句型1] Tabby, who was usually so timid, seemed to sense Andrew's gentle nature. (运用了who引导的非限制性定语从句) [高分句型2] Loretta was initially hesitant, knowing that caring for a dog like Tabby would be difficult, especially considering her son's condition..

B A UK organization is looking to hire five people—a base leader, a shop manager, and three general assistants—to work at the “Penguin Post Office” in Port Lockroy, Antarctica. The jobs are open to UK residents over the age of 18, beginning in early November 2024 and last until March2025, the season of summer in Antarctica. Responsibilities will include sorting the over 80,000 letters and postcards sent by the 18,000tourists who visit the world’s southernmost post office each summer. Employees will also help sell postage stamps, run the small onsite gift shop, and look after the aging building. But their most important duty will be to keep track of Port Lockroy’s group of about 1,500 gentoo penguins. Exciting as it may sound, the UK organization warns applicants that the jobs are not for those who lack courage. Even during summer, temperatures on the icy continent can be as low as -5℃.Additionally, the five people will live in a single bedroom with a tiny gas-powered kitchen. There is no flushing toilet. Instead, they will use a camping toilet, which must be emptied daily. There is limited phone and Internet access and no running water. Visiting ships provide water in cans and also offer the staff showers every few days. But in poor weather conditions, they may have to do without a shower for extended periods. With the closest hospital in Argentina, medical evacuations (遣送) could take up to a week! However, the biggest challenge will be the smell of penguin waste that will surround them all through their work process! Despite these problems, the positions, which open up every summer, receive thousands of applications each year. Camilla Nichol, the organization’s CEO, is not surprised. She believes that for the right individuals, the jobs provide “a unique opportunity to live in a landscape that makes you feel awe (敬畏) and wonder, where pioneering generations have gone before us, making groundbreaking discoveries about our planet.” 4. What can we learn about the “Penguin Post Office” from the text? A. It is only open every summer. B. It is the northernmost post office. C. It deals with 18,000 letters every year. D.

C Like rainbows, a green flash during sunset is another example of an optical phenomenon (光学现象) that occurs regularly in our daily life and seems magical when you see one yourself. Similar to how rainbows appear when sunlight is scattered (散射) through raindrops, green flashes during sunsets — and sometimes sunrises — happen when sunlight passes through a thick layer (层) of Earth’s atmosphere. As the sun’s light moves through Earth’s atmosphere, it gets bent, creating a beautiful and colorful sight that can be seen by human eyes. This bending of light is what sometimes lets us see a green color around the sun. The different temperatures in the atmosphere also bear on it, according to Bay Area meteorologist and photographer Jan Null. Right over the ocean, there is cooler air, but sometimes there is a layer of warm air above it. The difference of density (密度) caused by warm and cool temperatures creates something that Null calls a “coastal inversion” when the wind blows from the land towards the sea, bending the setting sun’s light. But why is the flash green? As the sunlight is bent by the atmosphere, the green light becomes concentrated and separates from the other colors in the light, creating that brilliant green flash. To have a chance of seeing a green flash in the Bay Area, find a viewpoint near the coast, where the view of the sun setting isn’t blocked—and watch the sun as it starts disappearing into the horizon. As for the best time, that will be on a relatively warm, clear day with a light offshore wind that will help create those “coastal inversions”. Null warned that the green flash will last just a few seconds, making it even harder to spot only with eyes. That is why some people claim it doesn’t even exist. For those lucky enough to wait patiently to see this attractive sight, it will all be worth it, he said. 8. Under which condition can green flashes happen? A. When sunlight is bent through thick air. B. When sunlight is reflected on the calm sea. C. When sunlight is scattered through raindrops. D. When the warm and cool temperatures meet. 9. What does the underlined part “bear on” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Play a role in. B. Depend on. C. Differ from. D. Give way to. 10. Why is it most likely to see a green flash near the coast on a fine day? A. There are not too many clouds. B. There is wind blowing from the sea. C. There is a coastal inversion. D. There is so much water to bend the sunlight. 11. What can be known about green flashes from the last paragraph? A. It is true that they do not exist at all. B. It is far from worthwhile to wait to see them. C. It is easy to discover them with proper equipment. D. It is barely possible to see them with human eyes. D Universities spent the late 1990s and early 2000s ensuring students could attach documents to email, fill out spreadsheets and perform other basic computer skills. But the information age has led to a major change, with a new focus on digital or media literacy (素养) for incoming students. Florida State University (FSU) joins a small but growing number of universities adding the requirement. Since last year, FSU has required incoming students to complete a digital-literacy course even as it calls off the familiar computer ability requirement. Digital literacy is closer to what has often been referred to as media literacy with a focus on understanding and recognizing correct online news sources, misinformation, opinions and advertising. The ongoing influence of social media, concerns about purposely false news stories and the rise of artificial intelligence (AI) have added urgency to the effort. In a 2019 study, almost every high school student was unable to differentiate between right and fake (虚假的) news articles. We don’t expect somehow that the population will improve in that regard in only four years. The structure of a new digital-literacy requirement depends on the university. For FSU, the requirement is dependent upon the major. For example, a digital-literacy requirement for a journalism major would require different courses from a biology major. This is for all the students and all the majors and it’s going to be a challenge. In addition to the new requirements, several universities have digital-literacy courses, and a few created majors for the topic. Arizona State University offers a digital-media literacy undergraduate degree, while Indiana Wesleyan University has a master’s degree in technology and digital literacy in education. Universities do face challenges putting digital-literacy courses into practice, including finding professionals in the fast-changing subject while students often consider themselves to be experts. There is also the potential disadvantage of having another graduation requirement. While literacy courses do improve literacy, such courses are not a perfect fix. A single class on digital literacy doesn’t necessarily make you literate. 12. What is the benefit of media literacy for college students? A. Keeping them far away from social media. B. Making them well informed of achievements in AI. C. Leading them to master more useful basic computer skills. D. Enabling them to tell whether online information is true or not. 13. What is the author’s attitude to media literacy of today’s students? A. Optimistic. B. Unclear. C. Worried. D. Uncaring. 14. What makes it hard for universities to carry out the digital-literacy requirement? A. Students don’t have proper digital devices. B. Its structure depends on the university. C. Universities have some financial problems. D. No professor is willing to teach it. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. Digital or Media Literacy B. Colleges’ New Requirement C. Challenges from Artificial Intelligence D.

While the following tips are just from my own personal experience, I hope that some of them will help you find satisfaction when it’s difficult to pull yourself out of bed. ◎Wake up early Jumping straight into a class isn’t my best way to wake up.

Whatever way you choose to relax, find something enjoyable and try to make it part of your routine. ◎Don’t push yourself beyond your limits Some days you will wake up, make coffee, go for a run and prepare a meal. Other mornings you may struggle to get out of bed. ____20____. When you fail to follow this perfect morning routine, don’t beat yourself up. The key to having a “good” start to your day is accepting your energy levels without judgment and trying your best to finish the day’s tasks. A. Get ready for the day B. Both of them are okay C. Calm your mind with a relaxing activity D. Better yet, try to set a screen time limit E. As a result, I can produce better work F. Exercise really should be involved in your daily routine G.

We did not hold out much hope that the dog we named Tabby would find a home, but we all tried our best to help her anyway. Despite her various challenges, Tabby had a great attitude. She bravely overcame difficulties, recovering from any missteps quickly. The one concern we had for her successfully being placed into a home was that she was easily frightened, particularly when asleep, which even caused her to bite people. Tabby would require a special home in many ways, one that did not include children who might be accidentally injured. The days turned into weeks and then into months and Tabby settled into a comfortable routine. She seemed to like everyone she met, but she regarded a couple of our staff as her own special friends. Her ability to know when one of them arrived at the shelter was really remarkable. When winter began to turn into spring and not a single person had asked about adopting (收养) Tabby, we were sure she would live out her days with us. She was happy and our staff loved her. Her life at the shelter was good, even though we normally hoped for a home for every animal. The promise of spring began to turn into the long days of summer when a mom named Loretta came to the shelter with her three children, including her son, Andrew, a young boy who suffered from seizures (癫痫). It was this boy who had noticed Tabby on the shelter website. What drew him to her was the note on her introduction explaining that she had special needs. As a special needs child, he demanded that they pay Tabby a visit. 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。 It was obvious that the family hardly seemed to be fit for Tabby. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ They did call us, but only to tell us they loved Tabby and wanted to adopt her formally. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
