Of the thousands of national parks that exist in the world, these are the ones that should be on everyone’s bucket list. Yorkshire Dales, United Kingdom Contrary (相反) to the popular link of national parks with the wilderness, it is filled with winding valleys, hills and villages where over 24,000 people live and work. Visitors can walk through grassland, visit waterfalls or explore underground caves, but Yorkshire Dales is also home to several food shops, and the park hosts cheese festivals and farmers markets regularly, so it’s best to go hungry. Kakadu National Park, Australia It is a delight for those who like a bit of history mixed with the biodiversity of national parks. While it houses thousands of species of wildlife, there’s more to the national park than that. Guilin and Lijiang River National Park, China It is surrounded by striking natural beauty and can be explored by land. But the river national park, as the name suggests, is best explored through leisurely boat rides that take visitors through many ancient towns that come along the way of the river. Vatnajökull National Park, Iceland Here’s a surprising fact: The whole of Vatnajökull National Park makes up 14% of Iceland’s territory! The park is usually open for hikes around the glaciers; boat rides through glacier lakes, and tours that take visitors through the park’s many ice caves, waterfalls, and icebergs. Vatnajökull is also where two of Iceland’s most active volcanoes are located. 1. What is recommended for a trip to Yorkshire Dales? A. Recording local customs. B. Skiing in the snowy mountains. C. Going with an empty stomach. D. Watching the eruption of volcanoes. 2. Which park is the best choice for observing diverse wildlife? A. Yorkshire Dales. B. Kakadu National Park. C. Vatnajökull National Park. D. Guilin and Lijiang River National Park. 3. What do the last two national parks have in common? A. There are many ancient towns. B. There are various ice caves inside. C. They are aimed at protecting rivers. D. They can be explored through boats. B As a mushroom scientist, you are vastly outnumbered, with estimates suggesting that there are between 2.2 million and 3.8 million species of fungi (真菌), the majority of which are yet to be identified. However, professionals in the field are not alone in their efforts to uncover new species. An enthusiastic community of amateurs has emerged, bridging the gap between professionals and non-professionals. These amateurs have even made significant discoveries. One such amateur is Taylor Lockwood, a 74-year-old mushroom enthusiast and professional photographer. In 1984, while living on the Mendocino coast of California, Taylor Lockwood developed a fascination with mushrooms. “Outside my cottage were these amazing mushrooms,” he says. “And it was as if these mushrooms looked at me and said, ‘Taylor, go out and tell the world how pretty we are.’” Lockwood answered their call and purchased camera equipment to capture their true nature. His passion for photographing mushrooms was so intense that he would even dig holes next to the mushrooms to get the perfect angle for his shots. In the Monongahela National Forest, Taylor Lockwood discovered an unusual mushroom that looked like tiny fingers wearing off-white gloves. Upon deeper investigation, fungi researcher Amy Rossman confirmed that it was a “hazel glove” mushroom, which is a rare find. “Mushrooms are not like plants,” Rossman says. “They don’t come up at the same time every year, and so sometimes it can be decades between when a fungus fruits.” Rossman says that’s why it’s so valuable to have people like Taylor Lockwood searching through the forest with a trained eye. A few years ago, Taylor Lockwood realized that still photos weren’t sufficient, so he chose to create time-lapse (延时拍摄的) videos of mushrooms. “When I do time-lapse, I see so much life happening around the mushrooms—insects, worms and other small creatures interacting with them,” he says. Lockwood’s love for art is evident in his approach to filming mushrooms over time. Although he appreciates the scientific aspect of his work, he identifies himself as an artist at heart. 4. What can we learn about mushroom amateurs from paragraph 1? A. They keep close track of the growth of fungi. B. They help identify new species of mushroom. C. They replace professional scientists in the field. D. They classify the majority of mushroom species. 5. What inspired Lockwood to photograph mushrooms? A. His desire for knowledge. B. His curiosity about nature. C. The beauty of nearby mushrooms. D The appeal of outdoor photography. 6. Which of the following best describes Lockwood according to paragraph 3? A. Skilled and observant. B. Focused and flexible. C. Talented and optimistic. D. Organized and responsible. 7. Why did Lockwood decide to make time-lapse videos of mushrooms? A. To improve his photography techniques. B. To capture dynamic life in an artistic way. C. To collect biological data for deeper research. D. To use a new approach to scientific studies. C Clean water might not grow on trees, but the trees might do the next best thing — provide a cheap and easy way of filtering (过滤) it. Researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have been able to use wood from tree branches to filter water both in the laboratory and in the field. Compared to other water filters, the new way of filtering water gets an edge. This could provide an inexpensive and low-tech alternative to costly methods of getting clean water in places that need it the most. In a new study, researchers show that the natural structure of wood from non-flowering plants like pine provides enough filtration to remove bacteria from water. This method was already proven to work in a lab in 2014, but now the researchers have found, through interviews with potential users and tests of local water sources, that the tree-based purification system works just as well in the field in India and that the locals are willing to use it. The branches of non-flowering plants are built of thin, straw-like tubes called x ylem in the layer of wood under the skin. The unique structure of the xylem tissue in the branches allows it to work as a water filter because these channels are connected to each other through porous membranes (多孔薄膜). These membranes can catch water pollutants, similar to a water filter membrane. The researchers were even able to extend the shelf life of dry wood filters to around two years by dipping (浸泡) them in a protective mix of hot water and ethanol (乙醇). To make this potentially life-saving technology be reachable to those who need it, the construction of the filter is open to the public and instructions can be found on their website detailing how anyone can try to construct their own wood water filter. 8. What does the underlined “gets an edge” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Has a limitation. B. Has an advantage. C Faces a challenge. D. Produces an effect. 9. Why does the author mention the example in India? A. To call on people to protect local water sources. B. To show the consequences of lacking pure water. C. To explain why water filters are in great demand. D. To prove the water filter is effective and welcomed. 10. What makes the branches of non-flowering plants act as a water filter? A. They are thinner than other plants' branches. B. They have wide straw-like tubes in the xylem tissue. C. The tiny holes of membranes can trap water pollutants. D. The layer of wood under their skin carries plenty of water. 11. What does the passage mainly talk about? A. A unique way of obtaining water from plants. B. The working principle of tree-based water filters. C. MIT creates a high-tech water purification system. D. MIT's wooden water filter comes into practical use. D Empathy (共情) is one of the most important skills a teacher can have, but it is not always easy to respond to student behaviour with empathy. However, when you demonstrate to students that you understand and respect their feelings, you build mutual trust and friendly relationship. According to new research, teaching children in a way that encourages them to empathize with others improves their creativity and may lead to a variety of other beneficial learning outcomes. The findings are the result of a year-long University of Cambridge study with year 9 Design and Technology (D &T) students (ages 13 to 14) from two inner London schools. Pupils at one school spent the year following curriculum-required lessons, while students at the other school used a set of engineering design thinking tools to improve students’ ability to think creatively and empathically while solving real-world problems. Both sets of pupils were assessed for creativity at both the start and end of the school year using the Torrance Test of Creative Thinking: a well-established psychometric test (心理测试). The results showed a statistically significant increase in creativity among pupils at the intervention school, where the thinking tools were used. At the start of the year, the Creativity scores of pupils in the control school, which followed the standard curriculum, were 11% higher than those at the intervention school. By the end, however, the situation had completely changed: Creativity scores among the intervention group were 78% higher than the control group. Nicholl, Senior Lecturer in Design and Technology Education, who trains teachers studying on the University’s D & T PGCE course, said, “Teaching for empathy has been difficult despite being part of the D &. T National Curriculum for over two decades. This evidence suggests that it is a missing link in the creative process, and vital if we want education to encourage the designers and engineers of tomorrow.” Nicholl added, “When I taught Design and Technology, I didn’t see children as potential engineers who would one day contribute to the economy; they were people who needed to be ready to go into the world at 18. Teaching children to empathize is about building a society where we appreciate each other’s thoughts. Surely that is something we want education to do.” 12. What will a teacher with empathy do? A. Share knowledge with students. B. Understand students’ emotions. C. Improve important teaching skills. D. Respond to students’ behaviour. 13. Why were thinking tools used by the pupils of the other school? A. To spread the ideas related to empathy. B To learn the curriculum-required lessons. C. To promote problem-solving abilities. D. To inspire creativity with mutual trust. 14. What did the results of the test suggest? A. The standard curriculum didn’t encourage creativity. B. The intervention school was more popular among students. C. The control group lacked the ability to empathize with others. D. The empathetic class contributed significantly to creativity. 15. What did Nichol l think of the study? A. Unarguable. B. Influential. C. Distinctive. D. Inaccurate. 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。 Unique among all the positive emotions, hope requires some degree of conflict, difficulty, negativity, or uncertainty to be ignited. People high in hope are optimistic about their future and believe in possibilities. They see challenges as opportunities to grow and learn, rather than as obstacles. ____16____ Here are tips on how to cultivate hope. Set and achieve goals. Without a clear goal, it’s easy to get distracted and lose focus. Hopeful people usually visualize their goals and create conditions that set them up for success. ____17____Getting three emails out in the next 15minutes or preparing lunch in the next 20 minutes are simple examples. Stick with positive people. ____18____ This doesn’t mean being intolerant of another person’s difficulties, negativity, or struggles, but it does mean that hopeful people tend to spend more time associating with those who share a bright and proactive attitude. They maintain a healthy balance but don’t get overwhelmed by the negativity around them. ____19____ While believing in oneself is important, highly hopeful people are able to forgive themselves as well. This is a unique combination because this type of confidence allows a person to be imperfect. In addition, they are willing to take reasonable risks and accept failures to support their growth and move forward. Keep a positive outlook. No matter what life throws at them, they endeavor to see the silver lining. They don’t let the circumstance define their emotional response. In addition, high-hope people are also creative problem-solvers. When faced with a challenge, they don’t give up easily. ____20____ A. Believe in the power of risks. B. Be self-reflective and confident. C. This is key to the success of many high-hope people. D. One way this gets done is through achievable micro-goals. E. Being around positive people contributes to keeping optimistic. F. Therefore, they’re constantly trying to improve themselves and their skill sets. G. Instead, they work out solutions that help them overcome the obstacles in their way. 第三部分 语言知识运用 (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。 Last year, my younger brother Darrin tore the old engine out of his Dodge Challenger.

One day, I jokingly suggested, “Jack, how about giving away some of your toy cars to the children who don’t have any?” “No, these are mine,” he said angrily, holding on to his toy cars tightly. At that moment, I knew he didn’t grasp the importance of sharing. Therefore, I decided it was time for me to teach him a valuable lesson. The next day, I planned a special day out with him with the aim of gently getting him to open his heart. Our special day began with a visit to the local park, a place where Jack always feels pleased. We found a tree coming into flower, bathed in the warm sunlight. Nearby, a group of children were playing together. “Look, Jack,” I pointed out. “See how they’re sharing their toys? Notice the smiles on their faces?” Those children attracted Jack’s attention. He watched carefully as one child passed a bright red toy truck to another, and he noticed how their faces lit up in a shared moment of happiness. It made him feel curious. I continued, “Sharing doesn’t just make others happy, it can make you feel good too.” Jack kept silent with his expression becoming thoughtful and a bit doubtful. On the way home, we stopped by a small community center which was hosting a charity event. Volunteers, cheerful and warm, were collecting toys for the poor children. Tables in front of them were decorated with various kinds of toys. Jack observed some children of his age eagerly contributing toys, their faces shining with pride and happiness. “See, Jack,” I whispered. “A small act of kindness can bring great joy to you and others.” Jack made no reply but from his hesitant look I could see he was struggling with an internal conflict. 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。 Paragraph 1: As we were about to leave, a little girl arrived. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Moved by the little girl, Jack urged me to take him home. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力答案：1-5 ACBAB 6-10 CBCBB 11-15 ABACB 16-20 AACAC 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 鹰潭市2023—2024学年度下学期期末质量检测 高二英语试题 本试卷分第Ⅰ卷(选择题)和第Ⅱ卷(综合题)两部分。满分150分。考试用时120分钟。注意事项： 1.答题前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考号、考试科目用铅笔涂写在答题卷Ⅰ上。 2.每小题选出答案后，用铅笔把答题卷上对应题目的答案标号涂黑，如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其它答案标号。不能答在试题卷上。 3.第Ⅱ卷各题的答案，必须答在答题卷Ⅱ规定的地方。 第Ⅰ卷 第一部分 听力 (共两节，满分30分) 第一节 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.

D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了四个位于世界各地的著名国家公园的基本情况。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Yorkshire Dales, United Kingdom部分“but Yorkshire Dales is also home to several food shops, and the park hosts cheese festivals and farmers markets regularly, so it’s best to go hungry(但约克郡山谷也是几家食品店的所在地，公园定期举办奶酪节和农贸市场，所以最好饿着肚子去)”可知，去约克郡山谷游玩建议最好空着肚子去。故选C项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Kakadu National Park, Australia部分“While it houses thousands of species of wildlife, there’s more to the national park than that.(虽然它是成千上万种野生动物的家园，但国家公园还有更多的东西。)”可知，游客在这里可以观察多种野生动植物。故选B项。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据Guilin and Lijiang River National Park, China部分内容“But the river national park, as the name suggests, is best explored through leisurely boat rides that take visitors through many ancient towns that come along the way of the river.(但这个河流国家公园，顾名思义，最好的探索方式是悠闲地乘船游览，游客可以穿过沿河而来的许多古镇。)”可知，在桂林漓江国家风景区游览，最好的方式是乘船。而Vatnajökull National Park, Iceland部分内容“boat rides through glacier lakes, and tours that take visitors through the park’s many ice caves, waterfalls, and icebergs(乘船游览冰川湖，游览公园的许多冰洞、瀑布和冰山)”同样提及了乘船游览。因此可推知，这两个景区的共同点是游客可以乘船探索。故选D项。 B As a mushroom scientist, you are vastly outnumbered, with estimates suggesting that there are between 2.2 million and 3.8 million species of fungi (真菌), the majority of which are yet to be identified. However, professionals in the field are not alone in their efforts to uncover new species. An enthusiastic community of amateurs has emerged, bridging the gap between professionals and non-professionals. These amateurs have even made significant discoveries. One such amateur is Taylor Lockwood, a 74-year-old mushroom enthusiast and professional photographer. In 1984, while living on the Mendocino coast of California, Taylor Lockwood developed a fascination with mushrooms. “Outside my cottage were these amazing mushrooms,” he says. “And it was as if these mushrooms looked at me and said, ‘Taylor, go out and tell the world how pretty we are.’” Lockwood answered their call and purchased camera equipment to capture their true nature. His passion for photographing mushrooms was so intense that he would even dig holes next to the mushrooms to get the perfect angle for his shots. In the Monongahela National Forest, Taylor Lockwood discovered an unusual mushroom that looked like tiny fingers wearing off-white gloves. Upon deeper investigation, fungi researcher Amy Rossman confirmed that it was a “hazel glove” mushroom, which is a rare find. “Mushrooms are not like plants,” Rossman says. “They don’t come up at the same time every year, and so sometimes it can be decades between when a fungus fruits.” Rossman says that’s why it’s so valuable to have people like Taylor Lockwood searching through the forest with a trained eye. A few years ago, Taylor Lockwood realized that still photos weren’t sufficient, so he chose to create time-lapse (延时拍摄的) videos of mushrooms. “When I do time-lapse, I see so much life happening around the mushrooms—insects, worms and other small creatures interacting with them,” he says. Lockwood’s love for art is evident in his approach to filming mushrooms over time. Although he appreciates the scientific aspect of his work, he identifies himself as an artist at heart. 4. What can we learn about mushroom amateurs from paragraph 1? A. They keep close track of the growth of fungi. B. They help identify new species of mushroom. C. They replace professional scientists in the field. D. They classify the majority of mushroom species. 5. What inspired Lockwood to photograph mushrooms? A. His desire for knowledge. B. His curiosity about nature. C. The beauty of nearby mushrooms. D. The appeal of outdoor photography. 6. Which of the following best describes Lockwood according to paragraph 3? A. Skilled and observant. B. Focused and flexible. C. Talented and optimistic. D. Organized and responsible. 7. Why did Lockwood decide to make time-lapse videos of mushrooms? A. To improve his photography techniques. B. To capture dynamic life in an artistic way. C. To collect biological data for deeper research. D. To use a new approach to scientific studies. 【答案】4. B 5. C 6. A 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了Taylor Lockwood，一名蘑菇爱好者和摄影师，在真菌学领域做出了重大贡献。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段中“However, professionals in the field are not alone in their efforts to uncover new species. An enthusiastic community of amateurs has emerged, bridging the gap between professionals and non-professionals. These amateurs have even made significant discoveries.(然而，在发现新物种的努力中，该领域的专业人士并不孤单。一个热情的业余爱好者社区已经出现，弥合了专业人士和非专业人士之间的差距。这些业余爱好者甚至有了重大发现。)”可知，蘑菇爱好者们在探索新真菌品种方面有重大发现，故选B项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中“In 1984, while living on the Mendocino coast of California, Taylor Lockwood developed a fascination with mushrooms. “Outside my cottage were these amazing mushrooms,” he says. “And it was as if these mushrooms looked at me and said, ‘Taylor, go out and tell the world how pretty we are.’” (1984年，泰勒·洛克伍德(Taylor Lockwood)住在加利福尼亚州的门多西诺海岸，对蘑菇产生了浓厚的兴趣。“我的小屋外面有这些神奇的蘑菇，”他说。“就好像这些蘑菇看着我说，‘泰勒，出去告诉世界我们有多漂亮。’”)”可知，小屋附近蘑菇的美让Taylor决定用相机去拍摄它们，故选C项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“In the Monongahela National Forest, Taylor Lockwood discovered an unusual mushroom that looked like tiny fingers wearing off-white gloves. (在莫农加希拉国家森林，泰勒·洛克伍德(Taylor Lockwood)发现了一种不寻常的蘑菇，看起来像戴着灰白色手套的小手指。)”可知，Taylor在森林里发现了稀有的蘑菇品种，再结合第三段中“They don’t come up at the same time every year, and so sometimes it can be decades between when a fungus fruits.” Rossman says that’s why it’s so valuable to have people like Taylor Lockwood searching through the forest with a trained eye. (“它们不会每年在同一时间出现，所以有时真菌结出果实之间可能需要几十年的时间。”罗斯曼说，这就是为什么像泰勒·洛克伍德这样的人用训练有素的眼睛在森林中搜索如此有价值的原因。)”可推知，Taylor是一个有经验且善于观察的人，故选A项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中““When I do time-lapse, I see so much life happening around the mushrooms—insects, worms and other small creatures interacting with them,” he says. Lockwood’s love for art is evident in his approach to filming mushrooms over time. Although he appreciates the scientific aspect of his work, he identifies himself as an artist at heart. (“当我进行延时摄影时，我看到蘑菇周围发生了很多生命——昆虫、蠕虫和其他小生物与它们互动，”他说。洛克伍德对艺术的热爱体现在他随着时间的推移拍摄蘑菇的方法上。尽管他欣赏自己作品的科学方面，但他将自己视为内心的艺术家。)”可推知，Taylor决定拍摄蘑菇的延时视频是为了以艺术的方式捕捉动态生活，故选B项。 C Clean water might not grow on trees, but the trees might do the next best thing — provide a cheap and easy way of filtering (过滤) it. Researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have been able to use wood from tree branches to filter water both in the laboratory and in the field. Compared to other water filters, the new way of filtering water gets an edge. This could provide an inexpensive and low-tech alternative to costly methods of getting clean water in places that need it the most. In a new study, researchers show that the natural structure of wood from non-flowering plants like pine provides enough filtration to remove bacteria from water. This method was already proven to work in a lab in 2014, but now the researchers have found, through interviews with potential users and tests of local water sources, that the tree-based purification system works just as well in the field in India and that the locals are willing to use it. The branches of non-flowering plants are built of thin, straw-like tubes called x ylem in the layer of wood under the skin. The unique structure of the xylem tissue in the branches allows it to work as a water filter because these channels are connected to each other through porous membranes (多孔薄膜). These membranes can catch water pollutants, similar to a water filter membrane. The researchers were even able to extend the shelf life of dry wood filters to around two years by dipping (浸泡) them in a protective mix of hot water and ethanol (乙醇). To make this potentially life-saving technology be reachable to those who need it, the construction of the filter is open to the public and instructions can be found on their website detailing how anyone can try to construct their own wood water filter. 8. What does the underlined “gets an edge” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Has a limitation. B. Has an advantage. C. Faces a challenge. D. Produces an effect. 9. Why does the author mention the example in India? A. To call on people to protect local water sources. B. To show the consequences of lacking pure water. C. To explain why water filters are in great demand. D. To prove the water filter is effective and welcomed. 10. What makes the branches of non-flowering plants act as a water filter? A. They are thinner than other plants' branches. B. They have wide straw-like tubes in the xylem tissue. C. The tiny holes of membranes can trap water pollutants. D. The layer of wood under their skin carries plenty of water. 11. What does the passage mainly talk about? A. A unique way of obtaining water from plants. B. The working principle of tree-based water filters. C. MIT creates a high-tech water purification system. D. MIT's wooden water filter comes into practical use. 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了麻省理工学院发明了新的木制滤水器的好处、原理等，并投入实际使用。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。由文章第二段中“This could provide an inexpensive and low-tech alternative to costly methods of getting clean water in places that need it the most. (这可以为最需要水的地方提供一种廉价和低技术含量的替代方法，以获得昂贵的清洁水。)”可知，与其它滤水器相比，这种新型滤水器具有优势，划线部分的含义为“有优势”。A. Has a limitation有局限性；B. Has an advantage有优势；C. Faces a challenge面临挑战；D. Produces an effect产生效果。故选B。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第三段“In a new study, researchers show that the natural structure of wood from non-flowering plants like pine provides enough filtration to remove bacteria from water. This method was already proven to work in a lab in 2014, but now the researchers have found, through interviews with potential users and tests of local water sources, that the tree-based purification system works just as well in the field in India and that the locals are willing to use it. (在一项新的研究中，研究人员表明，来自松树等非开花植物的木材的自然结构提供了足够的过滤，可以去除水中的细菌。这种方法早在2014年就已经在实验室里被证明是有效的，但现在研究人员通过对潜在用户的采访和对当地水源的测试发现，这种基于树木的净化系统在印度的田地里也同样有效，当地人也愿意使用它。)”可知，作者提到印度的例子，以证明水过滤器是有效的和受欢迎的。故选D。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第四段中“The branches of non-flowering plants are built of thin, straw-like tubes called x ylem in the layer of wood under the skin. The unique structure of the xylem tissue in the branches allows it to work as a water filter because these channels are connected to each other through porous membranes (多孔薄膜). These membranes can catch water pollutants, similar to a water filter membrane. (非开花植物的树枝是由薄薄的、像稻草一样的管状物构成的，这些管状物被称为叶质部，位于树皮下的一层木头中。枝条中木质部组织的独特结构允许它作为水过滤器，因为这些通道通过多孔膜相互连接。这些膜可以捕获水污染物，类似于水过滤膜。)”可知，膜上的小孔可以捕获水污染物，从而使不开花植物的枝条起到滤水器的作用。故选C。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是由文章第二段中“Researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have been able to use wood from tree branches to filter water both in the laboratory and in the field. Compared to other water filters, the new way of filtering water gets an edge. This could provide an inexpensive and low-tech alternative to costly methods of getting clean water in places that need it the most. (麻省理工学院(MIT)的研究人员已经能够在实验室和现场使用树枝上的木头来过滤水。与其它滤水器相比，这种新型滤水器具有优势。这可以为最需要水的地方提供一种廉价和低技术含量的替代方法，以获得昂贵的清洁水。)”可知，麻省理工学院发明了新的木制滤水器，并投入实际使用。故选D。 D Empathy (共情) is one of the most important skills a teacher can have, but it is not always easy to respond to student behaviour with empathy. However, when you demonstrate to students that you understand and respect their feelings, you build mutual trust and friendly relationship. According to new research, teaching children in a way that encourages them to empathize with others improves their creativity and may lead to a variety of other beneficial learning outcomes. The findings are the result of a year-long University of Cambridge study with year 9 Design and Technology (D &T) students (ages 13 to 14) from two inner London schools. Pupils at one school spent the year following curriculum-required lessons, while students at the other school used a set of engineering design thinking tools to improve students’ ability to think creatively and empathically while solving real-world problems. Both sets of pupils were assessed for creativity at both the start and end of the school year using the Torrance Test of Creative Thinking: a well-established psychometric test (心理测试). The results showed a statistically significant increase in creativity among pupils at the intervention school, where the thinking tools were used. At the start of the year, the Creativity scores of pupils in the control school, which followed the standard curriculum, were 11% higher than those at the intervention school. By the end, however, the situation had completely changed: Creativity scores among the intervention group were 78% higher than the control group. Nicholl, Senior Lecturer in Design and Technology Education, who trains teachers studying on the University’s D & T PGCE course, said, “Teaching for empathy has been difficult despite being part of the D &. T National Curriculum for over two decades. This evidence suggests that it is a missing link in the creative process, and vital if we want education to encourage the designers and engineers of tomorrow.” Nicholl added, “When I taught Design and Technology, I didn’t see children as potential engineers who would one day contribute to the economy; they were people who needed to be ready to go into the world at 18. Teaching children to empathize is about building a society where we appreciate each other’s thoughts. Surely that is something we want education to do.” 12. What will a teacher with empathy do? A. Share knowledge with students. B. Understand students’ emotions. C. Improve important teaching skills. D. Respond to students’ behaviour. 13. Why were thinking tools used by the pupils of the other school? A. To spread the ideas related to empathy. B. To learn the curriculum-required lessons. C. To promote problem-solving abilities. D. To inspire creativity with mutual trust. 14. What did the results of the test suggest? A. The standard curriculum didn’t encourage creativity. B. The intervention school was more popular among students. C. The control group lacked the ability to empathize with others. D. The empathetic class contributed significantly to creativity. 15. What did Nichol l think of the study? A. Unarguable. B. Influential. C. Distinctive. D. Inaccurate. 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. D 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项研究发现，该研究表明以一种鼓励他们同情他人的方式教育孩子，可以提高他们的创造力，并可能带来各种其他有益的学习成果。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Empathy (共情) is one of the most important skills a teacher can have, but it is not always easy to respond to student behaviour with empathy. However, when you demonstrate to students that you understand and respect their feelings, you build mutual trust and friendly relationship.(共情是老师可以拥有的最重要的技能之一，但用共情来回应学生的行为并不总是那么容易。然而，当你向学生表明你理解并尊重他们的感受时，你就建立了相互信任和友好的关系。)”可知，有共情的教师会理解和尊重学生的情感，从而建立相互的信任和友好的关系。故选B。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“According to new research, teaching children in a way that encourages them to empathize with others improves their creativity and may lead to a variety of other beneficial learning outcomes.

People high in hope are optimistic about their future and believe in possibilities. They see challenges as opportunities to grow and learn, rather than as obstacles. ____16____ Here are tips on how to cultivate hope. Set and achieve goals. Without a clear goal, it’s easy to get distracted and lose focus. Hopeful people usually visualize their goals and create conditions that set them up for success. ____17____Getting three emails out in the next 15minutes or preparing lunch in the next 20 minutes are simple examples. Stick with positive people. ____18____ This doesn’t mean being intolerant of another person’s difficulties, negativity, or struggles, but it does mean that hopeful people tend to spend more time associating with those who share a bright and proactive attitude. They maintain a healthy balance but don’t get overwhelmed by the negativity around them. ____19____ While believing in oneself is important, highly hopeful people are able to forgive themselves as well. This is a unique combination because this type of confidence allows a person to be imperfect. In addition, they are willing to take reasonable risks and accept failures to support their growth and move forward. Keep a positive outlook. No matter what life throws at them, they endeavor to see the silver lining. They don’t let the circumstance define their emotional response. In addition, high-hope people are also creative problem-solvers. When faced with a challenge, they don’t give up easily. ____20____ A. Believe in the power of risks. B Be self-reflective and confident. C. This is key to the success of many high-hope people. D. One way this gets done is through achievable micro-goals. E. Being around positive people contributes to keeping optimistic. F. Therefore, they’re constantly trying to improve themselves and their skill sets. G.

One day, I jokingly suggested, “Jack, how about giving away some of your toy cars to the children who don’t have any?” “No, these are mine,” he said angrily, holding on to his toy cars tightly. At that moment, I knew he didn’t grasp the importance of sharing. Therefore, I decided it was time for me to teach him a valuable lesson. The next day, I planned a special day out with him with the aim of gently getting him to open his heart. Our special day began with a visit to the local park, a place where Jack always feels pleased. We found a tree coming into flower, bathed in the warm sunlight. Nearby, a group of children were playing together. “Look, Jack,” I pointed out. “See how they’re sharing their toys? Notice the smiles on their faces?” Those children attracted Jack’s attention. He watched carefully as one child passed a bright red toy truck to another, and he noticed how their faces lit up in a shared moment of happiness. It made him feel curious. I continued, “Sharing doesn’t just make others happy, it can make you feel good too.” Jack kept silent with his expression becoming thoughtful and a bit doubtful. On the way home, we stopped by a small community center which was hosting a charity event. Volunteers, cheerful and warm, were collecting toys for the poor children. Tables in front of them were decorated with various kinds of toys. Jack observed some children of his age eagerly contributing toys, their faces shining with pride and happiness. “See, Jack,” I whispered. “A small act of kindness can bring great joy to you and others.” Jack made no reply but from his hesitant look I could see he was struggling with an internal conflict. 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。 Paragraph 1: As we were about to leave, a little girl arrived. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Moved by the little girl, Jack urged me to take him home. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】As we were about to leave, a little girl arrived. Jack’s gaze was fixed on the girl who was no older than him. She walked into the community center with a firm step, her hands holding a well-worn teddy bear tightly. Handing the volunteer her teddy bear, she said, “This is my only toy, but I want to give it away to pass on my best wishes to others.” Jack’s eyes widened as he absorbed the simple yet powerful message. Then his hesitant expression was replaced by a determined look. Moved by the little girl, Jack urged me to take him home. Upon arriving home, he rushed into his bedroom and care fully sorted through his toy cars. “Dad, I want to give these to other kids,” he said earnestly, showing me a fistful of his favorites. We packed them together and headed back to the community center. As we arrived, Jack eagerly handed his cars over to the volunteers, his eyes full of the joy of sharing. Seeing his transformation filled my heart with huge pride. It was a meaningful day for both of us. 【解析】 【导语】文章以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者教四岁的儿子Jack学会分享的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容“我们正要离开时，一个小女孩来了。”可知，第一段可描写小女孩捐赠玩具的过程以及对Jack的影响。 ②由第二段首句内容“Jack被这个小女孩感动了，他催促我带他回家。”可知，第二段可描写Jack分享并捐赠玩具以及他的转变。 2.续写线索：Jack看着女孩捐玩具——领会到信息——下定决心——把车交给志愿者——充满喜悦——作者感到骄傲 3.词汇激活 行为类 注视：fix on/gaze at 捐赠：give away/make a contribution to 到达：arrive/get to 想要做某事：want to do sth./would like to do sth. 情绪类 有决心的：determined/resolved 渴望地：eagerly/longingly 【点睛】[高分句型1] Jack’s gaze was fixed on the girl who was no older than him.（运用了who引导定语从句） [高分句型2] As we arrived, Jack eagerly handed his cars over to the volunteers, his eyes full of the joy of sharing.（运用了as引导时间状语从句和独立主格结构） 听力答案：1-5 ACBAB 6-10 CBCBB 11-15 ABACB 16-20 AACAC 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
