There, Wolfe makes beautiful books, prints, posters and more. Rather than using new technologies, Wolfe prints the way people did in the 15th century: Letters are cast in lead, then locked together, inked and pressed into paper. Wolfe typically juggles several projects at once. On a recent afternoon, he has just paused production while waiting for a shipment of handmade paper. He was then using the time instead to create designs for another project. He might also be teaming up with artist and friend Hewitt to design a poster for an anniversary. Letterpress printing couldn't be more tedious. Every piece of type has to be placed by hand and then put away piece by piece when done to be reused for future projects. But Wolfe showed no sign of impatience. Hewitt, who has known Wolfe for 20 years, has cooperated with him nonmultiplex projects. Hewitt recalled a project he and Wolfe worked on together: a “Hopeful” sign on the roof of a nonprofit gallery. Hewit intended to find a modern printer to facilitate the process. Wolfe, however, was pleased with the design by himself. Wolfe now works with both modern-day printers and machines that are hundreds of years old. His letterpress and hot-metal casting machines, about 10 in all, fill his spacious shop. Despite their age and frequent use, the devices appear well cared for. Each one has a story, which Wolfe enjoys sharing. Lately, Wolfe has been mentoring an apprentice (学徒), a student from nearby college of art and design, who shares his taste for tedium. He says it’s important for the printmaker to preserve and transmit the traditional techniques to a new generation. “The computer didn’t kill my business. It made it stronger,” Wolfe says. “The product I make is high-end. A finely printed book is a beautiful object and a reminder of the past when books were vital keepers of information.” 24. What do we know about Wolfe? A. He is an amateur printer. B. He is a collector of old books. C. He is a skillful craftsman. D. He is a follower of new fashions. 25. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “tedious” in paragraph 2? A. boring B. pleasing C. dissatisfying D. labor-saving 26. Why is Hewitt’s project with Wolfe mentioned in paragraph 3? A. To introduce their jobs. B. To emphasize the working style of Wolfe. C. To clarify their relationship. D. To share the artistic achievements of Wolfe. 27. What motivates Wolfe’s printing career? A. His love for the modern techniques. B. His desire to pass down letter pressing. C. His determination to beat computer. D. His preference for the traditional equipment. C It might seem like a fish needs a car like—well, like a fish needs a bicycle. But a new experiment suggests that fishes actually make pretty good drivers and fishes’ understanding of space and navigation is not limited to their natural environment in the water. In a recent experiment, researchers taught six goldfishes to drive a water tank. They put the fishes into a tank full of water and attach the tank on wheels. Then the water tank, equipped with a camera that continually track the fish’s position and orientation (定位) inside the tank, was put in a room. When the fishes swam toward a direction in the water tank, the tank headed in that direction in the room. In this way, fishes were schooled to drive the tank from the center of a small room toward a pink board on one wall by giving the fish a treat whenever it reached the wall. During their first sessions, the fishes averaged about 2.5 successful trips to the target. During their final sessions, fishes averaged about 17.5 successful trips. By the end of driver’s education, the animals also took faster, more direct routes to their goal. In further experiments, the researchers tried to trick the goldfish by placing boards of different colors on the other walls. The fishes were not fooled, and navigated to the pink board. “That was pretty conclusive that the fish actually navigate,” says study coauthor Ben-Shahar. Recently, the team let a goldfish take a joyride throughout an entire building. He added, “And it actually started to explore. It went down one of the corridors and started to sneak away.” Behavioral neuroscientist Lambert is not completely surprised, but still fascinated by the driving abilities of the goldfish. In her own research, Lambert has taught rats to drive toy cars. But teaching goldfish to navigate takes animal driving experiments to the next level. Lambert says, “I love the fish-out-of-water idea.” When it comes to testing the bounds of animal navigation, “it’s important to diversify and expand our tasks and our species, ” Lambert adds. 28. What does paragraph 2 focus on? A. Where to place the tracking camera. B. Why were goldfishes chosen. C. How many sessions were conducted. D. How to carry out the experiment. 29. The further experiments found the goldfish could find the destination even if __________. A. no boards were placed B. the walls stood far away C. they weren’t given a treat D. there existed distractions 30. According to Lambert, what will be explored in their future study? A. Navigation ability of more species. B. Potential application of water tanks C. Basic strategies of training animals. D. Further explanations of rats' driving. 31. What is the purpose of the text? A. To analyze animal behaviors. B. To introduce a scientific discovery. C. To promote navigation devices. D. To explain a psychological phenomenon. D Climate models can give us a preview of how humanity’s actions — or inaction — will change our planet over the coming decades and centuries. But because the planet is such a complex system, they aren’t perfect climate models have uncertainties that grow larger as they go farther into the future. Scientists and engineers from across the country are teaming up to build a new type of climate model that is designed to provide more precise and actionable predictions. Current climate modeling relies on dividing up the globe into a grid (格子) and then computing what is going on in each sector of the grid, as well a show the sectors interact with each other. Limitations in available computer processing power mean that those sectors generally cannot be any smaller than tens of kilometers per side. But for climate modeling, the devil is in the details — details that get missed in a too-large grid. “For cities planning their stormwater management facilities to resist the next 100 years’ worth of floods, this is a serious issue. Concrete answers about the likely range of climate outcomes are key for planning.” says Tapio Schneider, senior research scientist at CliMA. Weighing recent advances in the computational and data sciences, the team plans to step incandesce of the partners brings a different strength and research expertise to the project. “Our goal is a new model that projects future changes in critical variables such as cloud cover, sea ice extent, and rainfall more accurately—with uncertainties at least half the size of those in existing models.” said Dr. Andrew, the team leader. One doubter about the application of climate models is Raffaele Ferrari a Cecil and Ida Green Professor of Oceanography at MIT. “Using a model, we become puppeteers, masters of a giant system that is, in truth, beyond human control. We can cool or heat the planet at will, add salt or ice or rain or dust in any amount we want,” Dr. Ferrari says. “We have no backup planet. How climate models are used remains to be seen.” 32. Why are climate models built? A. To collect scientific data. B. To monitor human actions. C. To deliver useful forecasts. D. To maintain social systems. 33. What is the problem of current climate modeling? A. Shortage of facilities. B. Reliance on computers. C. Inability to get smaller grids. D. Limitation in simplifying details. 34. What does the team aim to do? A. Investigate serious issues. B. Guarantee the safety of the city. C. Change the future climate. D. Improve the accuracy of the models. 35. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Climate models enjoys great popularity. B. Scientists have created a new climate model. C. Doubts about climate models are disappearing. D. Caution is advised in the use of climate models. 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。 Quite a few people turn to comfort foods when they’re feeling down or just need a little pick-me-up. ____36____ They, to some extent, provide eaters a sense of warmth and pleasure. But despite the name, do they actually comfort us? ____37____ As studies have found, the brain has “hedonic hotspots” — specialized regions that increase the rewarding feeling or “liking” of palatable (可口的) tastes, including sugary, fatty and salty foods. This can result in a dopamine (多巴胺) hit that strengthens a person’s motivation to seek palatable food rewards. Therefore, people might be encouraged by their brains to consume particular foods. But why are comfort foods generally somewhat unhealthy? Certain foods — sometimes referred to as “hyper-palatable” foods — arouse intense feelings of pleasure. They are generally easy to digest and are sweet, salty or rich. ____38____ So, a person’s brain tends not to want them in the same way it does a donut or a slice of pizza. Comfort foods are an attempt to feel content or a means of reducing stress, but it seems they are not always effective. In a survey of 2, 000 adults, one in four people admitted eating comfort foods at least five times a week, even though over half said those meals made them feel worse. So, why? People are aware that these foods are not nutritionally beneficial. ____39____ Some researches, however, have also found that comfort foods do have the ability to comfort us but just no more than any other food. Comfort foods can result in an immediate mood lift. ____40____ Individuals may just be giving comfort food credit for mood effects that would have occurred even in the absence of that particular food. A. It seems beneficial to make comfort foods. B. Healthy foods tend not to contain any of these elements. C. Comfort foods are often associated with carefree memories. D. The brain rewards people when they consume certain. foods. E. This leads to their feelings of regret and shame in the longer term. F. When feeling emotionally threatened, you often reach for comfort foods. G. Any other food regardless of people’s desire, is also able to achieve the same outcome. 第三部分语言运用(共两节, 满分30分) 第一节(共15小题；每小题1分, 满分15分) 阅读下面短文, 从每题所给的A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 When the weather starts to warm up, we love heading to the beach for a-few-day holiday.

His room was like a junkyard, with clothes tossed everywhere, empty chip bags on the floor, and half-finished sodas scattered across his desk. His mom, Susan, had stopped nagging (唠叨) him to clean up, hoping he himself would eventually get the hint. But instead, the mess just got worse. Greenwood High School was famous for its creative projects, so when the headmaster Mr. Thompson declared a new “Labor Education” project, no one was too surprised. The idea was simple: teach students about hard work through real tasks. Jason wasn’t excited—he would rather play video games all day—but the project was a must; he had no choice. Finally, the day of the project came. It was gray and overcast, matching Jason’s mood as he dragged himself into the school’s lecture hall with his classmates, yawning and complaining. Mr. Thompson stood on stage with a speaker. “Today, we’re going to learn the importance of labor!” he exclaimed. Jason rolled his eyes when he was assigned to the gardening group with his best friend, Mike. Their job was to clear out the school’s overgrown front lawn and plant new flowers. They shared a look that said it all—this was going to be a long day. As they started weeding, Jason quickly discovered how hard physical labor could be. The weeds were stubborn, and the leaves seemed to multiply every time he raked (耙) them. His back ached, his arms felt like jelly, and his hands blistered. While stretching, eager to sneak in a break, he spotted Mr. Thompson standing afar with a big smile from across the yard, giving him a big thumbs-up. After lunch, the group moved to build simple things like birdhouses for the garden in the school’s maintenance house. Jason had two left hands at first—his hammering was a mess— but he slowly got better. By the end of the session, he managed to make a crooked but decent-looking birdhouse. Carrying his newly-made birdhouse around, Jason proudly showed it off to his classmates. 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。 The last task of the day was to plant new flowers. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As the day ended, Jason walked back to his room. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 台州市2023学年第二学期高二年级期末质量评估试题 英 语 满分150分 考试时间120分钟 注意事项： 1. 答卷前, 考生务必用黑色字迹钢笔或签字笔将自己的姓名、考生号、考场号和 座位号填写在答题卡上。 2. 作答选择题时, 选出每小题答案后, 用2B 铅笔把答题卡上对应题目选项的答案 信息点涂黑；如需改动, 用橡皮擦干净后, 再选涂其他答案。答案不能答在试卷上。 3. 非选择题必须用黑色字迹钢笔或签字笔作答, 答案必须写在答题卡各题目指 定区域内相应位置上；如需改动, 先划掉原来的答案, 然后再写上新的答案；不准使用 铅笔和涂改液。不按以上要求作答的答案无效。 4. 考生必须保持答题卡的整洁。考试结束后, 将答题卡交回。 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. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 Why does Luke learn calligraphy?

There, Wolfe makes beautiful books, prints, posters and more. Rather than using new technologies, Wolfe prints the way people did in the 15th century: Letters are cast in lead, then locked together, inked and pressed into paper. Wolfe typically juggles several projects at once. On a recent afternoon, he has just paused production while waiting for a shipment of handmade paper. He was then using the time instead to create designs for another project. He might also be teaming up with artist and friend Hewitt to design a poster for an anniversary. Letterpress printing couldn't be more tedious. Every piece of type has to be placed by hand and then put away piece by piece when done to be reused for future projects. But Wolfe showed no sign of impatience. Hewitt, who has known Wolfe for 20 years, has cooperated with him nonmultiplex projects. Hewitt recalled a project he and Wolfe worked on together: a “Hopeful” sign on the roof of a nonprofit gallery. Hewit intended to find a modern printer to facilitate the process. Wolfe, however, was pleased with the design by himself. Wolfe now works with both modern-day printers and machines that are hundreds of years old. His letterpress and hot-metal casting machines, about 10 in all, fill his spacious shop. Despite their age and frequent use, the devices appear well cared for. Each one has a story, which Wolfe enjoys sharing. Lately, Wolfe has been mentoring an apprentice (学徒), a student from nearby college of art and design, who shares his taste for tedium. He says it’s important for the printmaker to preserve and transmit the traditional techniques to a new generation. “The computer didn’t kill my business. It made it stronger,” Wolfe says. “The product I make is high-end. A finely printed book is a beautiful object and a reminder of the past when books were vital keepers of information.” 24. What do we know about Wolfe? A. He is an amateur printer. B. He is a collector of old books. C. He is a skillful craftsman. D. He is a follower of new fashions. 25. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “tedious” in paragraph 2? A. boring B. pleasing C. dissatisfying D. labor-saving 26. Why is Hewitt’s project with Wolfe mentioned in paragraph 3? A. To introduce their jobs. B. To emphasize the working style of Wolfe. C. To clarify their relationship. D. To share the artistic achievements of Wolfe. 27. What motivates Wolfe’s printing career? A. His love for the modern techniques. B. His desire to pass down letter pressing. C. His determination to beat computer. D. His preference for the traditional equipment. 【答案】24. C 25. A 26. B 27. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文，文章主要讲述Wolfe坚持使用古老的印刷方式，渴望保存并将传统技术传给下一代的故事。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“There, Wolfe makes beautiful books, prints, posters and more. Rather than using new technologies, Wolfe prints the way people did in the 15th century: Letters are cast in lead, then locked together, inked and pressed into paper.(在那里，Wolfe制作精美的书籍、印刷品、海报等。Wolfe没有使用新技术，而是沿用15世纪人们的印刷方式：先用铅浇铸字母，然后锁在一起，上墨水，压成纸)”可知，Wolfe是一个技艺精湛的工匠，故选C。 【25题详解】 词义猜测题。根据划线词下文“Every piece of type has to be placed by hand and then put away piece by piece when done to be reused for future projects. But Wolfe showed no sign of impatience.(每一块字体都必须手工放置，然后在完成后一块一块地收起来，以便在未来的项目中重用。但Wolfe没有表现出不耐烦的迹象)”可知，凸版印刷是一项无聊的工作，tedious意为“无聊的”，故选A。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Hewitt recalled a project he and Wolfe worked on together: a ‘Hopeful’ sign on the roof of a nonprofit gallery. Hewit intended to find a modern printer to facilitate the process. Wolfe, however, was pleased with the design by himself.(Hewitt回忆起他和Wolfe一起合作过的一个项目：在一家非营利画廊的屋顶上挂一个‘充满希望’的标志。Hewitt打算找一台现代的打印机来简化这一过程。然而，Wolfe对自己的设计很满意)”可知，本段提到Hewitt和Wolfe的合作项目是为了强调Wolfe的工作风格，使用历史机器打印，故选B。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“He says it’s important for the printmaker to preserve and transmit the traditional techniques to a new generation.(他说，对于版画家来说，保存并将传统技术传给下一代是很重要的)”可知，将凸版印刷传承下去的渴望激励着Wolfe的印刷事业，故选B。 C It might seem like a fish needs a car like—well, like a fish needs a bicycle. But a new experiment suggests that fishes actually make pretty good drivers and fishes’ understanding of space and navigation is not limited to their natural environment in the water. In a recent experiment, researchers taught six goldfishes to drive a water tank. They put the fishes into a tank full of water and attach the tank on wheels. Then the water tank, equipped with a camera that continually track the fish’s position and orientation (定位) inside the tank, was put in a room. When the fishes swam toward a direction in the water tank, the tank headed in that direction in the room. In this way, fishes were schooled to drive the tank from the center of a small room toward a pink board on one wall by giving the fish a treat whenever it reached the wall. During their first sessions, the fishes averaged about 2.5 successful trips to the target. During their final sessions, fishes averaged about 17.5 successful trips. By the end of driver’s education, the animals also took faster, more direct routes to their goal. In further experiments, the researchers tried to trick the goldfish by placing boards of different colors on the other walls. The fishes were not fooled, and navigated to the pink board. “That was pretty conclusive that the fish actually navigate,” says study coauthor Ben-Shahar. Recently, the team let a goldfish take a joyride throughout an entire building. He added, “And it actually started to explore. It went down one of the corridors and started to sneak away.” Behavioral neuroscientist Lambert is not completely surprised, but still fascinated by the driving abilities of the goldfish. In her own research, Lambert has taught rats to drive toy cars. But teaching goldfish to navigate takes animal driving experiments to the next level. Lambert says, “I love the fish-out-of-water idea.” When it comes to testing the bounds of animal navigation, “it’s important to diversify and expand our tasks and our species, ” Lambert adds. 28. What does paragraph 2 focus on? A. Where to place the tracking camera. B. Why were goldfishes chosen. C. How many sessions were conducted. D. How to carry out the experiment. 29. The further experiments found the goldfish could find the destination even if __________. A. no boards were placed B. the walls stood far away C. they weren’t given a treat D. there existed distractions 30. According to Lambert, what will be explored in their future study? A. Navigation ability of more species. B. Potential application of water tanks C. Basic strategies of training animals. D. Further explanations of rats' driving. 31. What is the purpose of the text? A. To analyze animal behaviors. B. To introduce a scientific discovery. C. To promote navigation devices. D. To explain a psychological phenomenon. 【答案】28. D 29. D 30. A 31. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。本文围绕一项关于金鱼驾驶能力的实验展开，详细描述了实验过程、方法和结果，并探讨了这一发现对动物导航能力研究的意义。 【28题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“In a recent experiment, researchers taught six goldfishes to drive a water tank. They put the fishes into a tank full of water and attach the tank on wheels. Then the water tank, equipped with a camera that continually track the fish’s position and orientation (定位) inside the tank, was put in a room. When the fishes swam toward a direction in the water tank, the tank headed in that direction in the room. In this way, fishes were schooled to drive the tank from the center of a small room toward a pink board on one wall by giving the fish a treat whenever it reached the wall.(在最近的一项实验中，研究人员教六只金鱼驾驶一个水箱。他们把鱼放进一个装满水的水箱里，把水箱装在轮子上。然后把装有摄像头的水箱放在一个房间里，摄像头可以持续跟踪鱼在水箱里的位置和方向。当鱼缸里的鱼朝某个方向游去时，鱼缸就朝房间里的那个方向游去。通过这种方式，鱼被训练把鱼缸从一个小房间的中心开到一面墙上的一块粉红色的板上，只要鱼游到墙上，就给它一点吃的)”可知，本段主要讲述了如何进行实验。故选D项。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“In further experiments, the researchers tried to trick the goldfish by placing boards of different colors on the other walls. The fishes were not fooled, and navigated to the pink board.(在进一步的实验中，研究人员试图通过在其他墙上放置不同颜色的木板来欺骗金鱼。鱼没有上当，它们游向了粉红色的板)”可知，进一步的实验发现，即使存在干扰，金鱼也能找到目的地。故选D项。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“. Lambert says, “I love the fish-out-of-water idea.” When it comes to testing the bounds of animal navigation, “it’s important to diversify and expand our tasks and our species, ” Lambert adds.(兰伯特说：“我喜欢‘鱼跃出水’的想法。”在测试动物导航的界限时，“重要的是要多样化和扩展我们的任务和物种，”兰伯特补充道)”可知，根据Lambert的说法，他们未来的研究将会探索导航能力更强的物种。故选A项。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“But a new experiment suggests that fishes actually make pretty good drivers and fishes’ understanding of space and navigation is not limited to their natural environment in the water.(但一项新的实验表明，鱼类实际上是很好的司机，鱼类对空间和导航的理解并不局限于它们在水中的自然环境)”以及纵观全文可知，本文主要讲述了金鱼驾驶能力的实验，所以本文目的是介绍一项科学发现。故选B项。 D Climate models can give us a preview of how humanity’s actions — or inaction — will change our planet over the coming decades and centuries. But because the planet is such a complex system, they aren’t perfect climate models have uncertainties that grow larger as they go farther into the future. Scientists and engineers from across the country are teaming up to build a new type of climate model that is designed to provide more precise and actionable predictions. Current climate modeling relies on dividing up the globe into a grid (格子) and then computing what is going on in each sector of the grid, as well a show the sectors interact with each other. Limitations in available computer processing power mean that those sectors generally cannot be any smaller than tens of kilometers per side. But for climate modeling, the devil is in the details — details that get missed in a too-large grid. “For cities planning their stormwater management facilities to resist the next 100 years’ worth of floods, this is a serious issue. Concrete answers about the likely range of climate outcomes are key for planning.” says Tapio Schneider, senior research scientist at CliMA. Weighing recent advances in the computational and data sciences, the team plans to step incandesce of the partners brings a different strength and research expertise to the project. “Our goal is a new model that projects future changes in critical variables such as cloud cover, sea ice extent, and rainfall more accurately—with uncertainties at least half the size of those in existing models.” said Dr. Andrew, the team leader. One doubter about the application of climate models is Raffaele Ferrari a Cecil and Ida Green Professor of Oceanography at MIT. “Using a model, we become puppeteers, masters of a giant system that is, in truth, beyond human control. We can cool or heat the planet at will, add salt or ice or rain or dust in any amount we want,” Dr. Ferrari says. “We have no backup planet. How climate models are used remains to be seen.” 32. Why are climate models built? A. To collect scientific data. B. To monitor human actions. C. To deliver useful forecasts. D. To maintain social systems. 33. What is the problem of current climate modeling? A. Shortage of facilities. B. Reliance on computers. C. Inability to get smaller grids. D. Limitation in simplifying details. 34. What does the team aim to do? A. Investigate serious issues. B. Guarantee the safety of the city. C. Change the future climate. D. Improve the accuracy of the models. 35. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Climate models enjoys great popularity. B. Scientists have created a new climate model. C. Doubts about climate models are disappearing. D. Caution is advised in the use of climate models. 【答案】32. C 33. C 34. D 35. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。本文围绕气候模型的主题，解释了其工作原理、存在的局限性，以及科学家们如何努力改进气候模型以提高预测的准确性和实用性。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Climate models can give us a preview of how humanity’s actions—or inaction—will change our planet over the coming decades and centuries.(气候模型可以让我们预览人类的行为——或不作为——将如何在未来几十年和几个世纪改变我们的星球)”以及“Scientists and engineers from across the country are teaming up to build a new type of climate model that is designed to provide more precise and actionable predictions.(来自全国各地的科学家和工程师正在合作建立一种新型的气候模型，旨在提供更精确和可操作的预测)”可知，建立气候模型是为了提供有用的预测。故选C项。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Current climate modeling relies on dividing up the globe into a grid (格子) and then computing what is going on in each sector of the grid, as well a show the sectors interact with each other. Limitations in available computer processing power mean that those sectors generally cannot be any smaller than tens of kilometers per side. But for climate modeling, the devil is in the details—details that get missed in a too-large grid.(目前的气候模型依赖于将全球划分成一个网格，然后计算网格中每个区域的情况，以及显示区域之间的相互作用。可用计算机处理能力的限制意味着这些扇区通常不能小于每边几十公里。但对于气候模型来说，关键在于细节——那些在太大的网格中被遗漏的细节)”可知，当前气候模型的问题是无法得到更小的网格。故选C项。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Weighing recent advances in the computational and data sciences, the team plans to step incandesce of the partners brings a different strength and research expertise to the project. “Our goal is a new model that projects future changes in critical variables such as cloud cover, sea ice extent, and rainfall more accurately—with uncertainties at least half the size of those in existing models.” said Dr. Andrew, the team leader.(考虑到计算和数据科学的最新进展，该团队计划进行深入研究。每个合作伙伴都为该项目带来了不同的优势和研究专长。“我们的目标是创建一个新模型，能够更准确地预测云量、海冰范围和降雨量等关键变量的未来变化，而且不确定性至少比现有模型中的小一半。”团队负责人安德鲁博士说)”可知，团队的目标是提高模型的准确性。故选D项。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“One doubter about the application of climate models is Raffaele Ferrari, a Cecil and Ida Green Professor of Oceanography at MIT. “Using a model, we become puppeteers, masters of a giant system that is, in truth, beyond human control. We can cool or heat the planet at will, add salt or ice or rain or dust in any amount we want,” Dr. Ferrari says. “We have no backup planet. How climate models are used remains to be seen.”(麻省理工学院海洋学Cecil和Ida Green教授 Raffaele Ferrari对气候模型的应用持怀疑态度。“通过模型，我们成为了操纵木偶的大师，成为了一个巨大系统的主人，而这个系统实际上超出了人类的控制。我们可以随意冷却或加热地球，可以随意添加我们想要的盐、冰、雨或灰尘，”Ferrari博士说。“我们没有备用星球。如何使用气候模型还有待观察。”)”可知，Ferrari警告人们如何使用气候模型还有待观察，所以在使用气候模型时应谨慎。故选D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。 Quite a few people turn to comfort foods when they’re feeling down or just need a little pick-me-up. ____36____ They, to some extent, provide eaters a sense of warmth and pleasure. But despite the name, do they actually comfort us? ____37____ As studies have found, the brain has “hedonic hotspots” — specialized regions that increase the rewarding feeling or “liking” of palatable (可口的) tastes, including sugary, fatty and salty foods. This can result in a dopamine (多巴胺) hit that strengthens a person’s motivation to seek palatable food rewards. Therefore, people might be encouraged by their brains to consume particular foods. But why are comfort foods generally somewhat unhealthy? Certain foods — sometimes referred to as “hyper-palatable” foods — arouse intense feelings of pleasure. They are generally easy to digest and are sweet, salty or rich. ____38____ So, a person’s brain tends not to want them in the same way it does a donut or a slice of pizza. Comfort foods are an attempt to feel content or a means of reducing stress, but it seems they are not always effective. In a survey of 2, 000 adults, one in four people admitted eating comfort foods at least five times a week, even though over half said those meals made them feel worse. So, why? People are aware that these foods are not nutritionally beneficial. ____39____ Some researches, however, have also found that comfort foods do have the ability to comfort us but just no more than any other food. Comfort foods can result in an immediate mood lift. ____40____ Individuals may just be giving comfort food credit for mood effects that would have occurred even in the absence of that particular food. A. It seems beneficial to make comfort foods. B. Healthy foods tend not to contain any of these elements. C. Comfort foods are often associated with carefree memories. D. The brain rewards people when they consume certain. foods. E. This leads to their feelings of regret and shame in the longer term. F. When feeling emotionally threatened, you often reach for comfort foods. G. Any other food, regardless of people’s desire, is also able to achieve the same outcome. 【答案】36. C 37. D 38. B 39. E 40. G 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章主要介绍安慰食物是否真的有作用以及人们吃安慰食物的原因。 【36题详解】 上文“Quite a few people turn to comfort foods when they’re feeling down or just need a little pick-me-up.(相当多的人在情绪低落或只是需要一点提神的时候会转向安慰食物)”提到很多人情绪低落时会转向安慰食物，结合下文“They, to some extent, provide eaters a sense of warmth and pleasure.(它们在某种程度上为食客提供了一种温暖和愉悦的感觉)”可知，空处应是进一步阐述安慰食物，C项“安慰食物通常与无忧无虑的回忆联系在一起”符合语境，故选C。 【37题详解】 根据下文“As studies have found, the brain has ‘hedonic hotspots’ — specialized regions that increase the rewarding feeling or ‘liking’ of palatable (可口的) tastes, including sugary, fatty and salty foods.(正如研究发现的那样，大脑有‘享乐热点’——一个专门的区域，可以增加对美味的奖励感或‘喜欢’，包括含糖、高脂肪和咸的食物)”可知，大脑有专门的区域增加对美味食物的奖励，D项“当人们食用某些食物时，大脑会给予奖励”符合语境，故选D。 【38题详解】 上文“They are generally easy to digest and are sweet, salty or rich.(它们通常很容易消化，有甜的、咸的或丰富的)”提到有些安慰食物口味丰富，下文“So, a person’s brain tends not to want them in the same way it does a donut or a slice of pizza.(所以，一个人的大脑往往不会像想要甜甜圈或披萨一样想要它们)”提到，人们不想要吃这些食物，空处与下文是因果关系，所以空处应是说健康的食物不像安慰食物那样美味，所以人们不想吃这些，B项“健康食品往往不含这些元素”符合语境，下文中的“them”指代B项中“Healthy foods”，故选B。 【39题详解】 根据上文“In a survey of 2, 000 adults, one in four people admitted eating comfort foods at least five times a week, even though over half said those meals made them feel worse. So, why? People are aware that these foods are not nutritionally beneficial.(在一项针对2000名成年人的调查中，四分之一的人承认每周至少吃五次安慰食物，尽管超过一半的人说这些食物让他们感觉更糟。所以，为什么？人们意识到这些食物没有营养价值)”可知，调查中人们虽然吃安慰食物，但这些食物让他们感觉更糟，因为他们意识到这些食物没有营养价值，空处位于段末，总结上文，E项“从长远来看，这会导致他们感到后悔和羞耻”符合语境，与上文“those meals made them feel worse”呼应，故选E。 【40题详解】 根据上文“Some researches, however, have also found that comfort foods do have the ability to comfort us but just no more than any other food. Comfort foods can result in an immediate mood lift.(然而，一些研究也发现，安慰食物确实有安慰我们的能力，但并不比任何其他食物都强。安慰食物可以立即改善情绪)”可知，研究发现，安慰食物的作用并不比其他食物都强，并提到安慰食物可以立即改善情绪，空处应是接着说其他食物的作用，G项“任何其他食物，不管人们的欲望如何，也都能达到同样的结果”符合语境，故选G。 第三部分语言运用(共两节, 满分30分) 第一节(共15小题；每小题1分, 满分15分) 阅读下面短文, 从每题所给的A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 When the weather starts to warm up, we love heading to the beach for a-few-day holiday.

His room was like a junkyard, with clothes tossed everywhere, empty chip bags on the floor, and half-finished sodas scattered across his desk. His mom, Susan, had stopped nagging (唠叨) him to clean up, hoping he himself would eventually get the hint. But instead, the mess just got worse. Greenwood High School was famous for its creative projects, so when the headmaster Mr. Thompson declared a new “Labor Education” project, no one was too surprised. The idea was simple: teach students about hard work through real tasks. Jason wasn’t excited—he would rather play video games all day—but the project was a must; he had no choice. Finally, the day of the project came. It was gray and overcast, matching Jason’s mood as he dragged himself into the school’s lecture hall with his classmates, yawning and complaining. Mr. Thompson stood on stage with a speaker. “Today, we’re going to learn the importance of labor!” he exclaimed. Jason rolled his eyes when he was assigned to the gardening group with his best friend, Mike. Their job was to clear out the school’s overgrown front lawn and plant new flowers. They shared a look that said it all—this was going to be a long day. As they started weeding, Jason quickly discovered how hard physical labor could be. The weeds were stubborn, and the leaves seemed to multiply every time he raked (耙) them. His back ached, his arms felt like jelly, and his hands blistered. While stretching, eager to sneak in a break, he spotted Mr. Thompson standing afar with a big smile from across the yard, giving him a big thumbs-up. After lunch, the group moved to build simple things like birdhouses for the garden in the school’s maintenance house. Jason had two left hands at first—his hammering was a mess— but he slowly got better. By the end of the session, he managed to make a crooked but decent-looking birdhouse. Carrying his newly-made birdhouse around, Jason proudly showed it off to his classmates. 注意： 1. 续写词数应150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The last task of the day was to plant new flowers. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As the day ended, Jason walked back to his room. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: The last task of the day was to plant new flowers. Jason and Mike were given a variety of colorful flower bulbs to plant. Despite their initial reluctance, they found a rhythm as they dug holes, placed the bulbs, and covered them with soil. The repetitive motion of planting began to feel therapeutic, and Jason even started to enjoy the earthy smell of the freshly turned soil. Each flower they planted represented a small victory, and by the time they finished, the once-overgrown lawn looked vibrant and alive. As the day ended, Jason walked back to his room. His room, usually a source of stress, now seemed too cluttered and disorganized. Inspired by the day’s activities, Jason decided to tackle the mess himself. He started by picking up the scattered clothes and organizing them in his closet. Next, he collected the empty chip bags and threw them away, and finally, he cleaned up the half-finished sodas from his desk. By the time he finished, his room looked almost unrecognizable—clean and tidy. Jason smiled, realizing that the labor education project had not only taught him about hard work but also about the value of taking care of his own space. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Jason是格林伍德高中公认的邋遢学生，他的房间混乱不堪。尽管他的母亲Susan希望他能自我觉醒，但情况却日益恶化。学校推出“劳动教育”项目，旨在通过实际劳动教育学生。Jason虽不情愿，但被迫参与，被分配到园艺小组。在除草的过程中，他体验到了劳动的艰辛，背部疼痛，手臂无力，双手起泡。午饭后，他参与建造鸟舍，从笨手笨脚到逐渐熟练，最终完成了一个歪歪扭扭但看起来很体面的鸟舍，带着自豪的心情向同学们展示自己的作品。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“这一天的最后一项任务是种新的花”可知，第一段可描写Jason种植花的过程，一开始觉得困难，后来逐渐适应，以及种植完成后的成果。 ②由第二段首句内容“一天结束了，Jason走回自己的房间”可知，第二段可描写Jason开始着手整理自己的房间，以及整理完成后的感悟。 2. 续写线索：种植花——从困难到适应——成果——回到房间——整理房间——感悟 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①发现：find/discover ②开始：start/begin ③代表：represent/stand for ④处理：tackle/handle/manage ⑤意识到：realize/recognize 情绪类 ①不情愿：reluctance/unwillingness ②激励：inspire/motivate 【点睛】[高分句型1] Despite their initial reluctance, they found a rhythm as they dug holes, placed the bulbs, and covered them with soil.
