Here are some of the museums worth visiting. It’s time to decide your next travel destination. The Musée du Louvre, Paris, France It is the world’s largest art museum and a historical landmark of Paris. Housed in the Louvre Palace, the museum has been extended many times since its opening in 1793. Its eye-catching glass pyramid in the main courtyard was designed by Ieoh Ming Pei, a Chinese American architect, and it later became a symbol of the museum. Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, US Commonly known as the Met, the museum is among the must-visit attractions in New York. It stands on the eastern edge of Central Park. The Met maintains extensive holdings of African, Asian, Oceanian, Byzantine and Islamic art. Every May, the museum holds the luxurious, blockbuster Met Gala, grabbing global attention like the Oscars. National Museum of China, Beijing, China Near Tian’anmen Square in Beijing, it’s one of the largest museums in the world and the second most visited art museum in the world, just after the Louvre. Covering a time span from 1.7 million years ago to the Qing Dynasty, the museum boasts around 1.05 million items—and many cannot be found in museums elsewhere. Vatican Museums the Vatican City If you are into Roman history and Renaissance art, the Vatican Museums will be your ideal destination. Along the exhibition route, visitors can enjoy the marvelous Sistine Chapel decorated by Michelangelo and the Stanze di Raffaello decorated by Raphael. 1. What do we know about the Musée du Louvre? A It is the oldest museum in the world. B. It was designed by Ieoh Ming Pei. C. It has been rebuilt many times. D. It has an attractive glass pyramid. 2. If you are into African culture, which museum should you visit? A. The Musée du Louvre. B. National Museum of China. C. Metropolitan Museum of Art. D. Vatican Museums. 3. What do National Museum of China and Vatican Museums have in common? A. Both feature many ancient buildings. B. Both appeal to history fans. C. Both have over one million items. D. Both offer exhibition routes. 【答案】1. D 2. C 3. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了世界上值得参观的四家博物馆。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章The Musée du Louvre, Paris, France部分中的“Its eye-catching glass pyramid in the main courtyard was designed by Ieoh Ming Pei, a Chinese American architect, and it later became a symbol of the museum.(其主要庭院中引人注目的玻璃金字塔由美籍华人建筑师贝聿铭设计，后来成为博物馆的象征。)”可知，卢浮宫美术馆的庭院中有个引人注目的玻璃金字塔。故选D。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, US部分中的“The Met maintains extensive holdings of African, Asian, Oceanian, Byzantine and Islamic art. (大都会博物馆收藏了大量非洲、亚洲、大洋洲、拜占庭和伊斯兰艺术作品。)”可知，大都会博物馆收藏了非洲的艺术作品，由此可知，如果你对非洲的文化感兴趣，可以去大都会博物馆。故选C。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章National Museum of China, Beijing, China部分中的“Covering a time span from 1.7 million years ago to the Qing Dynasty, the museum boasts around 1.05 million items—and many cannot be found in museums elsewhere.(从170万年前到清朝，故宫拥有约105万件藏品，其中许多在其他博物馆是找不到的。)”以及Vatican Museums, the Vatican City部分中的“If you are into Roman history and Renaissance art, the Vatican Museums will be your ideal destination.(如果你对罗马历史和文艺复兴艺术感兴趣，梵蒂冈博物馆将是你理想的目的地。)”可知，这两家博物馆的共同之处就是藏品历史悠久，因此会很受历史迷的欢迎。故选B。 B It was a story about broccoli soup that really brought home to Shirley Zhu the value of the work she was doing. She and her twin sister Annie, who are 18, were delivering boxes of food to people struggling to get affordable, nutritious food in their home city of Houston. One woman, who Shirley was visiting for the second time, was excited to tell her that she had made broccoli soup for her and her young daughter with the previous food package. Shirley and Annie were 15 years old when they began collecting unsold food from grocery stores and bakeries in Houston and distributing it to residents living in “food deserts” — areas which don’t have good access to fresh, affordable food. Together with an initial team of 10 classmates at their high school, they set up Fresh Hub. With the help of a smartphone app and automated (自动化的) messaging service, they were able to inform residents when fresh food was available. Annie and Shirley started brainstorming in their bedroom, running through ways in which they could redistribute healthy food at community events. They contacted grocery stores and even farmers, but found themselves turned down because they weren’t a registered charity, or sometimes simply because, as two 15-year-olds, they weren’t taken seriously. “We’re just high-schoolers and we didn’t have a lot of credibility (可靠性),”says Shirley. They switched tactics. Instead of trying to build something from the ground up, they decided to join forces with an organization already doing this work. Second Servings, a Houston-based non-profit, already had the vans, the equipment, and the skills in rescuing food, which it donates to homeless shelters and other places of need. “We were used to seeing other adults being the heroes in this situation and taking action and didn’t consider ourselves as capable of making a change,” Shirley says. She now believes that whatever someone’s age or resources, it’s always possible to do something. 4. What can we know about Fresh Hub? A It was started by twin sisters three years ago. B. It originally consisted of 10 students at high school. C. It offered service to grocery stores and bakeries in Houston. D. It got help from a smartphone company with messaging service. 5. What difficulty did Shirley and Annie meet at the start? A. There were so many residents in need of food. B. They were turned down by a registered charity. C. There weren’t many high-schoolers to join them. D. They weren’t trusted because of their young age. 6. Which is the closest in meaning to the underlined word “tactics” in Paragraph 4? A. Targets. B. Strategies. C. Promises. D. Attitudes. 7. What is Shirley’s advice for us? A. No one can succeed easily. B. Actions speak louder than words. C. Don’t allow age to get in our way to success. D. Don’t consider ourselves as capable enough. 【答案】4. A 5. D 6. B 7. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了一对双胞胎姐妹创办了Fresh Hub，来为那些难以负担得起的营养食品的人送去了盒装食品。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“She and her twin sister Annie, who are 18, were delivering boxes of food to people struggling to get affordable, nutritious food in their home city of Houston.(她和她18岁的双胞胎妹妹安妮在家乡休斯顿为那些难以负担得起的营养食品的人送去了盒装食品)”以及第三段“They contacted grocery stores and even farmers, but found themselves turned down because they weren’t a registered charity, or sometimes simply because, as two 15-year-olds, they weren’t taken seriously.(他们联系了杂货店，甚至农民，但发现自己被拒绝了，因为他们不是一个注册的慈善机构，或者有时只是因为，作为两个15岁的孩子，他们没有被认真对待)”可知，Fresh Hub是三年前由一对双胞胎姐妹创办的。故选A。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“They contacted grocery stores and even farmers, but found themselves turned down because they weren’t a registered charity, or sometimes simply because, as two 15-year-olds, they weren’t taken seriously.(他们联系了杂货店，甚至农民，但发现自己被拒绝了，因为他们不是一个注册的慈善机构，或者有时只是因为，作为两个15岁的孩子，他们没有被认真对待)”可知，雪莉和安妮一开始因为年轻而不被信任。故选D。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“Instead of trying to build something from the ground up, they decided to join forces with an organization already doing this work.(他们决定与一个已经在做这项工作的组织联合起来，而不是试图从头开始建立一些东西)”可知，他们决定与一个已经在做这项工作的组织联合起来，而不是试图从头开始建立一些东西，说明他们转变了策略。故划线词意思是“策略”。故选B。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段““We were used to seeing other adults being the heroes in this situation and taking action and didn’t consider ourselves as capable of making a change,” Shirley says. She now believes that whatever someone’s age or resources, it’s always possible to do something.(“在这种情况下，我们习惯于看到其他成年人成为英雄，采取行动，而不认为自己有能力做出改变，”雪莉说。她现在相信，无论一个人的年龄或资源如何，总有可能做点什么)”可知，雪莉建议我们不要让年龄成为我们成功的障碍。故选C。 C On December 28, 2023, a Chinese company reached an important milestone. It flew a completely unmanned, autonomous spassenger drone on its first commercial flight in Guangzhou. Before you get too excited, here come the details. The drone has a range of only 22 miles and a top speed of only 81 mph. The drone is certainly quieter and greener, and may prove to be safer, but we’re a long way from phasing out (逐步淘汰) ordinary helicopters, let alone seeing cars get replaced with little drones. Still, I’m happy to see the little guy flying around Guangzhou. It serves as a reminder that some of the biggest questions about the future aren’t about what’s technologically practicable or economically practicable, so much as what’s socially practicable. J. Storrs Hall, a technologist, insists the main barrier between us and flying cars has not been a lack of technical progress, or even high cost. The problem, Hall writes, is that “cultural reaction and inflexible regulation have combined to hold back the normal flow of experimentation in high-power technology”. Will the public trust a self-piloted drone? How many heliports exist, and what do they charge per flight? How loud an air taxi group will residents of urban areas accept? These are all questions about the public’s attitudes, not the technical abilities. Even the range of the batteries or fuel cell systems in a flying car is, to a degree, socially determined: Government subsidies (补贴) for electric car batteries play a huge role in how those technologies develop, and how efficient they’re able to get. The good news is that the new range of flying cars promises to remove some of those tradeoffs (权衡). They can be quiet and carbon-free and piloted by AI systems less likely than humans to make stupid mistakes. We can choose that world by subsidizing it and clearing a regulatory (监管的) path for it. But the technology alone won’t create that world. We have to actively make it. 8. What can we know about the drone? A. It goes much faster than helicopters. B. It is the safest vehicle for passengers. C. It will be put into commercial use soon. D. It can’t replace helicopters or cars now. 9. Which factor influences the use of flying cars the most? A. Social factor. B. Economical factor. C. Technical factor. D. Environmental factor. 10. Why did the author ask the questions in paragraph 3? A. To show his puzzlement. B. To list various mysteries. C. To introduce a new theme. D. To make further discussion. 11. What is the writer’s attitude towards the future of the new drones? A. Doubtful. B. Concerned. C. Positive. D. Objective. 【答案】8. D 9. A 10. D 11. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了无人机的优点以及面临的问题。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“The drone is certainly quieter and greener, and may prove to be safer, but we’re a long way from phasing out (逐步淘汰) ordinary helicopters, let alone seeing cars get replaced with little drones.(无人机当然更安静、更环保，而且可能被证明更安全，但我们离逐步淘汰普通直升机还有很长的路要走，更不用说看到汽车被小型无人机取代了)”可知，无人机现在还不能取代直升机和汽车。故选D。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“It serves as a reminder that some of the biggest questions about the future aren’t about what’s technologically practicable or economically practicable, so much as what’s socially practicable.(它提醒我们，关于未来的一些最大问题不是技术上可行或经济上可行，而是社会上可行)”可知，社会因素对飞行汽车的使用影响最大。故选A。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Will the public trust a self-piloted drone? How many heliports exist, and what do they charge per flight? How loud an air taxi group will residents of urban areas accept? These are all questions about the public’s attitudes, not the technical abilities. Even the range of the batteries or fuel cell systems in a flying car is, to a degree, socially determined: Government subsidies (补贴) for electric car batteries play a huge role in how those technologies develop, and how efficient they’re able to get.(公众会信任自动驾驶的无人机吗?有多少个直升机场，每次飞行收费多少？城市居民能接受多大声的空中出租车？这些都是公众态度的问题，而不是技术能力的问题。甚至飞行汽车的电池或燃料电池系统的范围在一定程度上也是由社会决定的：政府对电动汽车电池的补贴在这些技术的发展以及它们的效率方面发挥着巨大作用)”可知，作者提出第3段中的问题是为了进行进一步讨论。故选D。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“They can be quiet and carbon-free and piloted by AI systems less likely than humans to make stupid mistakes.(它们可以安静、无碳，由人工智能系统驾驶，比人类更不可能犯愚蠢的错误)”可知，作者对新型无人机的未来是积极态度。故选C。 D According to the World Meteorological Organization, July 2023 was the world’s warmest month on record. As heatwaves had spread across North America, Asia and Europe, UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres said in a speech that the planet is entering an “era of global boiling”. How to cool the planet has long been a troubling question for scientists. They are now turning to sun-blocking technology, which refers to reflecting sunlight back into space in order to keep down the temperature of the planet’s climate. According to Euronews, a European television news network, one idea involves pumping sun-blocking particles (粒子) into the upper atmosphere. The particles will then stay in the air and redirect sunshine back upwards. It is like applying sunscreen on the outside of Earth. Researchers at Yale University, US, outlined a plan to use 125 high-flying planes to spread the particles at latitudes (纬度) of 60 degrees north and south. The particles will then travel toward the poles, which could possibly cool the temperature there by 2℃. In the future, the planes could be used to refreeze the poles, said the researchers. Another very promising technique is called “cloud brightening”, according to Chris Sacca, a US climate expert. This method involves sending sea salt particles into clouds above the sea, making them whiter and thus reflect more sunlight back into space. In June, the US government announced in a report that it is now offering support for solar engineering research as a way to slow the rise of global temperatures. According to the report, the US government believes that the technology “offers the possibility of cooling the planet significantly on a timescale of a few years”. However, following the report, an open letter by more than 60 scientists called for caution and more research first. Kristen Rasmussen, a climate scientist at Colorado State University, US, has been studying how these sun-blocking methods will affect rainfall patterns. She said that apart from rainfall, ecosystems and even human communities will also be affected. “We need to be very cautious on this,” Rasmussen told Scientific American. 12. Which solution is used to deal with global warming? A. Blocking the sunlight coming from the sun. B. Using sunscreen on the surface of the Earth. C. Reflecting the sunlight back into the space. D. Applying advanced technology to weather control. 13. Which of the following does the writer agree with according to the text? A. The sea-salt particles will reflect the sunlight back into the planet. B. Both sun-blocking techniques are using the principles of light reflection. C. The sun-blocking particles will cool the temperature at the poles to 2℃. D. The US government believes that cloud brightening will work well this year. 14. What is the most suitable title for the text? A. Cool Our Planet B. Era of Global Boiling C. Pumping Blocking Particles D. The Technique of Cloud Brightening 15. Where is the passage probably taken from? A. A travel journal. B. A news report. C. A science magazine. D. A story collection. 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. A 15. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了应对全球变暖的方法——使用遮阳技术，将阳光反射回太空，以降低地球气候的温度。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“They are now turning to sun-blocking technology, which refers to reflecting sunlight back into space in order to keep down the temperature of the planet’s climate. (他们现在转向了太阳阻挡技术，这是指将阳光反射回太空，以降低地球气候的温度)”可知，将阳光反射回太空的解决方案将用于应对全球变暖。故选C项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“According to Euronews, a European television news network, one idea involves pumping sun-blocking particles (粒子) into the upper atmosphere. The particles will then stay in the air and redirect sunshine back upwards.(据欧洲电视新闻网Euronews报道，其中一个想法是将阻挡太阳的粒子注入高层大气。这些微粒将停留在空气中，使阳光重新向上反射)”和第三段中“Another very promising technique is called “cloud brightening”, according to Chris Sacca, a US climate expert. This method involves sending sea salt particles into clouds above the sea, making them whiter and thus reflect more sunlight back into space. (美国气候专家Chris Sacca表示，另一种非常有前景的技术被称为“云增亮”。这种方法包括将海盐颗粒送入海上的云层，使其变白，从而将更多的阳光反射回太空)”可知，两种阻挡太阳的技术都是利用光反射的原理。故选B项。 【14题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，根据第一段中“How to cool the planet has long been a troubling question for scientists. They are now turning to sun-blocking technology, which refers to reflecting sunlight back into space in order to keep down the temperature of the planet’s climate. (如何给地球降温一直是困扰科学家的一个问题。他们现在转向了太阳阻挡技术，这是指将阳光反射回太空，以降低地球气候的温度)”可知，本文主要介绍了应对全球变暖的方法——使用遮阳技术，将阳光反射回太空，以降低地球气候的温度。由此可知，A“给地球降温”适合作本文标题。故选A项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，根据第一段中“How to cool the planet has long been a troubling question for scientists. They are now turning to sun-blocking technology, which refers to reflecting sunlight back into space in order to keep down the temperature of the planet’s climate. (如何给地球降温一直是困扰科学家的一个问题。他们现在转向了太阳阻挡技术，这是指将阳光反射回太空，以降低地球气候的温度)”可知，本文主要介绍了科学家应对全球变暖的科学方法，属于科学技术，其中引用了某些新闻报道。由此推知，本文应来自一本科学杂志。故选C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。 How to Leave Your Comfort Zone The comfort zone is a behavioral state within which a person uses a limited set of behaviors to deliver a steady level of performance, causing their progress to stop. But life is full of opportunities to step outside the comfort zone. Here are some ways one might try to do so. Do everyday things differently. In everyday life, there are plenty of opportunities to challenge yourself. Turn off your smartphone and television while having dinner, decide what to wear more quickly, or just slow down to take in the surroundings on a walk.____16____ Try a new diet. Many people want to improve their diets and stop relying on “comfort foods”.____17____Shifting to a healthier diet can be as challenging as it is rewarding, with self-trust growing as you hit milestone goals along the way. ____18____Many people are longing for this goal. For some, it can mean running their first 5K. But for others, it might be completing a marathon. Aiming higher with exercise is representative of leaving the comfort zone and a great way to get the ball rolling. Get creative. Creativity — anything from writing a poem to building a business — usually involves an element of risk.____19____Therefore failing and accompanying learning are expected outcomes. Exercising creativity is a good way to train yourself to have a growth mindset and let go of a need for perfection from the outset. Challenge your beliefs. It’s easy to get stuck in our ways, but this can lead to self-satisfaction — a feature of being in the comfort zone.____20____While this can be uncomfortable, it enables growth and insight by challenging deep-rooted beliefs. This might take several forms, such as reading varied book genres, diversifying who you talk to, and visiting new places. A. Take exercise to the next level. B. Motivate yourself with a new sport. C. Doing so often means trying something new. D. Creative efforts are about stepping into the unknown. E. Therefore, we need to explore alternative perspectives. F. These changes break you out of old, comfortable routines. G. Benefits of leaving the comfort zone won’t happen overnight. 【答案】16. F 17. C 18. A 19. D 20. E 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了什么是舒适区，以及离开舒适区的一些方法。 【16题详解】 根据前文“In everyday life, there are plenty of opportunities to challenge yourself. Turn off your smartphone and television while having dinner, decide what to wear more quickly, or just slow down to take in the surroundings on a walk. (在日常生活中，有很多机会挑战自己。吃饭时关掉智能手机和电视，更快地决定穿什么，或者在散步时放慢速度，欣赏一下周围的环境)”列举的一系列不同于往常的惯例做法，由此推断空处应承接上文指出做了这些事情会对走出舒适区有什么帮助——让你打破固有的、舒适的惯例。F项“These changes break you out of old, comfortable routines.(这些改变会让你从旧的、舒适的日常生活中解脱出来)”符合上下文语境。故选F。 【17题详解】 根据上文“Many people want to improve their diets and stop relying on “comfort foods”. (许多人想改善他们的饮食，不再依赖“安慰食物”)”可知，要改善饮食和停止依赖舒适区食物，结合空后“Shifting to a healthier diet(转向更健康的饮食)”可知，改善和停止“舒适食物”就意味着尝试新的食物，C项“Doing so often means trying something new. (这样做通常意味着尝试新东西)”符合上下文语境。故选C。 【18题详解】 空处为本段主旨。根据后文“For some, it can mean running their first 5K. But for others, it might be completing a marathon. Aiming higher with exercise is representative of leaving the comfort zone and a great way to get the ball rolling.(对一些人来说，这可能意味着要跑完他们的第一个5公里。但对其他人来说，这可能是一场马拉松。以更高的目标进行锻炼是离开舒适区的代表，也是让球滚动的好方法)”可知，本段建议用运动来使自己走出舒适区，不是从零开始尝试一种新的运动，而是在原来的基础上制定更高的目标。A项“Take exercise to the next level. (让锻炼更上一层楼)”符合上下文语境。故选A。 【19题详解】 根据本段主旨“Get creative.”得知本段中心话题为“变得有创意”。再根据空后“Therefore, failing and accompanying learning are expected outcomes.(因此，失败和随之而来的学习是预期的结果)”中的therefor推知，空处与后文为因果关系。D项“Creative efforts are about stepping into the unknown. (创造性的努力是迈向未知的领域)”符合上下文语境，既与主题有关，又阐明了为什么“失败和随之而来的学习是预料中的结果”。故选D。 【20题详解】 结合本段主旨“Challenge your beliefs(挑战你的信念)”和空前“It’s easy to get stuck in our ways, but this can lead to self-satisfaction—a feature of being in the comfort zone.( 我们很容易陷入困境，但这可能会导致自我满足——这是在舒适区的一个特征)”可知，一成不变是很容易的，但是这会导致自我满足。由此推知，空处陈述应该怎么做来避免“自我满足”。E项“Therefore, we need to explore alternative perspectives.(因此，我们需要探索不同的视角)”符合上下文语境。故选E。 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。 The first time Richard Epstein went to his local ice-skating rink (溜冰场), he was handed a free pair of skates.

In groups, we were to create a newspaper around the culture we were studying. On a piece of paper, we wrote the names of three friends we wanted in our group. After collecting all the requests, Mrs. B. informed us that she would take into consideration the names we chose and would let us know the results the next day. I had no doubt I would get the group of my choice. Only a few people behaved normally in the class, and Missy was one of them. I knew we had chosen each other. The next day, I anxiously waited for the class. After the bell rang, Missy and I stopped talking as Mrs. B called for our attention. She started to call out names. When she reached group three, Missy’s name was called. So, I’m in group three,I thought. The second, third and fourth members of the group were called. My name was not included. There had to be some mistake! Then I heard it. The last group: “Mauro, Juliette, Rachel, Karina.” I could feel the tears well in my eyes. How could I face being in that group—the boy who rarely spoke English, the one girl who was always covered by skirts that went down to her ankles, and the other girl who wore weird clothes. Oh, how badly I wanted to be with my friends. I fought back tears as I walked up to Mrs B. She looked at me and knew what I was there for. I was determined to convince her I should be in the “good” group. “Why. . . ?” I started. She gently placed a hand on my shoulder. “I know what you want, Karina,” she said, “but your group needs you. I need you to help them get a passing grade on this assignment. Only you can help them.” I was stunned. I was confused. I was amazed. She had seen something in me I hadn’t seen. “Will you help them?” she asked. I stood straighter. “Yes,” I replied. I couldn’t believe it came out of my mouth, but it did. I had committed. 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。 Para1: I bravely walked to where the others in my group sat. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Para2: In the end, Mrs. B gave us an A on that assignment. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Possible version 1: I bravely walked to where the others in my group sat. Encouraged by their big smiles, I sat down and led the project. According to personal interests and what they were good at, I assigned them with different columns of the newspaper. Halfway through it, I felt myself enjoying the company of these three people. Gradually, I learned that Mauro had few friends because he was struggling with the English language; Juliette wore long skirts or dresses every day because of her religion; Rachel had a burning desire to be a fashion designer so she had a whole barrel of unique ideas. Finally, with our cooperation, our assignment was successfully finished. In the end, Mrs. B gave us an A on that assignment. She announced to the whole class that the newspaper designed by our group was elaborately laid out and carefully edited, with rich cultural knowledge. Our joy and happiness were beyond description. After that semester ended, I always received a friendly hello from my group. Many years later, I didn’t recall anything about the newspaper, but I did feel fortunate to be given the opportunity to see in myself a potential that inspired my actions. It is Mrs B’s insight, vision and thoughtfulness that bring out the potential in four of her students. She is the one who truly deserves the grade A. Possible version 2: I bravely walked to where the others in my group sat. Resilient student as I was, I knew that in all my academic years, this seminar got to be the hardest nut to crack. Even so, I felt relieved when I saw them beaming with delight at me. The very natural and heart-warming smiles could hardly be ignored. Following a few greetings, we plunged right into the task at hand. Some were brainstorming a string of brilliant ideas while others were investigating cultures on the Internet in an energy-draining yet worthwhile manner. Teaming up with one another, everyone shared their passion and wisdom individually and collectively. In the end, Mrs B gave us an A on that assignment. It was thrilling to see our painstaking efforts finally paid off. We hugged tightly, sheer excitement radiating from our lightened cheeks. This cheerful episode lingered long after the project was completed, serving as a sweet reminder of my new friends. Additionally, the whole ordeal also set me reflecting on how conceited I had been to allow unreasonable grievances to dominate me in the first place. Thanks to Mrs. B, I’ve learned to appreciate others’ inner strengths as well as enlightening minds. As such, I believe grade A should ultimately belong to Mrs. B, a real mentor with a keen understanding of what education is meant for. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了在完成小组任务时，老师有意地把作者分到一个较差的小组去带领他们完成任务，作者一开始并不情愿，但为了不辜负老师的信任，最终带领小组很好地完成了任务。期间，作者也对这些自己原来持有偏见的同学有了更深的认识，并由衷地感谢老师的安排。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我勇敢地走向我的组员的位置”可知，第一段可描写通过作者和其他成员的共同合作，最终完成了任务。 ②由第二段首句内容“最后，Mrs. B给我们的作业评了A。”可知，第二段可描写作者的喜悦及感悟。 2.续写线索：了解组员——消除疑惑——共同合作——完成任务——喜悦——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①鼓励：encourage/inspire/motivate ②完成：finish/accomplish/complete ③想起：recall/remember/recollect 情绪类 ①喜悦：joy/happiness/delight/enjoyment ②友好：friendly/cordial/amicable 【点睛】[高分句型1] Gradually, I learned that Mauro had few friends because he was struggling with the English language（运用了that引导的宾语从句及because引导的原因状语从句。） [高分句型2]It is Mrs B’s insight, vision and thoughtfulness that bring out the potential in four of her students.（运用了it is...that...强调句的句型。） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 吕梁市2023-2024学年第二学期期末调研测试 高一英语试题 本试题满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 注意事项： 1．答题前，考生务必先将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上，认真核对条形码上的姓名、准考证号，并将条形码粘贴在答题卡的指定位置上。 2．答题时使用0.5毫米的黑色中性（签字）笔或碳素笔书写，字体工整、笔迹清楚。 3．请按照题号在各题的答题区域（黑色线框）内作答，超出答题区域书写的答案无效。 4．保持卡面清洁，不折叠，不破损。 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，并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 例：How much is the shirt?

Here are some of the museums worth visiting. It’s time to decide your next travel destination. The Musée du Louvre, Paris, France It is the world’s largest art museum and a historical landmark of Paris. Housed in the Louvre Palace, the museum has been extended many times since its opening in 1793. Its eye-catching glass pyramid in the main courtyard was designed by Ieoh Ming Pei, a Chinese American architect, and it later became a symbol of the museum. Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, US Commonly known as the Met, the museum is among the must-visit attractions in New York. It stands on the eastern edge of Central Park. The Met maintains extensive holdings of African, Asian, Oceanian, Byzantine and Islamic art. Every May, the museum holds the luxurious, blockbuster Met Gala, grabbing global attention like the Oscars. National Museum of China, Beijing, China Near Tian’anmen Square in Beijing, it’s one of the largest museums in the world and the second most visited art museum in the world, just after the Louvre. Covering a time span from 1.7 million years ago to the Qing Dynasty, the museum boasts around 1.05 million items—and many cannot be found in museums elsewhere. Vatican Museums, the Vatican City If you are into Roman history and Renaissance art, the Vatican Museums will be your ideal destination. Along the exhibition route, visitors can enjoy the marvelous Sistine Chapel decorated by Michelangelo and the Stanze di Raffaello decorated by Raphael. 1. What do we know about the Musée du Louvre? A. It is the oldest museum in the world. B. It was designed by Ieoh Ming Pei. C. It has been rebuilt many times. D. It has an attractive glass pyramid. 2. If you are into African culture, which museum should you visit? A. The Musée du Louvre. B. National Museum of China. C. Metropolitan Museum of Art. D. Vatican Museums. 3. What do National Museum of China and Vatican Museums have in common? A. Both feature many ancient buildings. B. Both appeal to history fans. C. Both have over one million items. D. Both offer exhibition routes. B It was a story about broccoli soup that really brought home to Shirley Zhu the value of the work she was doing. She and her twin sister Annie who are 18, were delivering boxes of food to people struggling to get affordable, nutritious food in their home city of Houston. One woman, who Shirley was visiting for the second time, was excited to tell her that she had made broccoli soup for her and her young daughter with the previous food package. Shirley and Annie were 15 years old when they began collecting unsold food from grocery stores and bakeries in Houston and distributing it to residents living in “food deserts” — areas which don’t have good access to fresh, affordable food. Together with an initial team of 10 classmates at their high school, they set up Fresh Hub. With the help of a smartphone app and automated (自动化的) messaging service, they were able to inform residents when fresh food was available. Annie and Shirley started brainstorming in their bedroom, running through ways in which they could redistribute healthy food at community events. They contacted grocery stores and even farmers, but found themselves turned down because they weren’t a registered charity, or sometimes simply because, as two 15-year-olds, they weren’t taken seriously. “We’re just high-schoolers and we didn’t have a lot of credibility (可靠性),”says Shirley. They switched tactics. Instead of trying to build something from the ground up, they decided to join forces with an organization already doing this work. Second Servings, a Houston-based non-profit, already had the vans, the equipment, and the skills in rescuing food, which it donates to homeless shelters and other places of need. “We were used to seeing other adults being the heroes in this situation and taking action and didn’t consider ourselves as capable of making a change,” Shirley says. She now believes that whatever someone’s age or resources, it’s always possible to do something. 4. What can we know about Fresh Hub? A. It was started by twin sisters three years ago. B. It originally consisted of 10 students at high school. C. It offered service to grocery stores and bakeries in Houston. D. It got help from a smartphone company with messaging service. 5. What difficulty did Shirley and Annie meet at the start? A. There were so many residents in need of food. B. They were turned down by a registered charity. C. There weren’t many high-schoolers to join them. D. They weren’t trusted because of their young age. 6. Which is the closest in meaning to the underlined word “tactics” in Paragraph 4? A. Targets. B. Strategies. C. Promises. D. Attitudes. 7. What is Shirley’s advice for us? A. No one can succeed easily. B. Actions speak louder than words. C. Don’t allow age to get in our way to success. D. Don’t consider ourselves as capable enough. C On December 28, 2023, a Chinese company reached an important milestone. It flew a completely unmanned, autonomous spassenger drone on its first commercial flight in Guangzhou. Before you get too excited, here come the details. The drone has a range of only 22 miles and a top speed of only 81 mph. The drone is certainly quieter and greener, and may prove to be safer, but we’re a long way from phasing out (逐步淘汰) ordinary helicopters, let alone seeing cars get replaced with little drones. Still, I’m happy to see the little guy flying around Guangzhou. It serves as a reminder that some of the biggest questions about the future aren’t about what’s technologically practicable or economically practicable, so much as what’s socially practicable. J. Storrs Hall, a technologist, insists the main barrier between us and flying cars has not been a lack of technical progress, or even high cost. The problem, Hall writes, is that “cultural reaction and inflexible regulation have combined to hold back the normal flow of experimentation in high-power technology”. Will the public trust a self-piloted drone? How many heliports exist, and what do they charge per flight? How loud an air taxi group will residents of urban areas accept? These are all questions about the public’s attitudes, not the technical abilities. Even the range of the batteries or fuel cell systems in a flying car is, to a degree, socially determined: Government subsidies (补贴) for electric car batteries play a huge role in how those technologies develop, and how efficient they’re able to get. The good news is that the new range of flying cars promises to remove some of those tradeoffs (权衡). They can be quiet and carbon-free and piloted by AI systems less likely than humans to make stupid mistakes. We can choose that world by subsidizing it and clearing a regulatory (监管的) path for it. But the technology alone won’t create that world. We have to actively make it. 8. What can we know about the drone? A. It goes much faster than helicopters. B. It is the safest vehicle for passengers. C. It will be put into commercial use soon. D. It can’t replace helicopters or cars now. 9. Which factor influences the use of flying cars the most? A. Social factor. B. Economical factor. C. Technical factor. D. Environmental factor. 10. Why did the author ask the questions in paragraph 3? A. To show his puzzlement. B. To list various mysteries. C. To introduce a new theme. D. To make further discussion. 11. What is the writer’s attitude towards the future of the new drones? A. Doubtful. B. Concerned. C. Positive. D. Objective. D According to the World Meteorological Organization, July 2023 was the world’s warmest month on record. As heatwaves had spread across North America, Asia and Europe, UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres said in a speech that the planet is entering an “era of global boiling”. How to cool the planet has long been a troubling question for scientists. They are now turning to sun-blocking technology, which refers to reflecting sunlight back into space in order to keep down the temperature of the planet’s climate. According to Euronews a European television news network, one idea involves pumping sun-blocking particles (粒子) into the upper atmosphere. The particles will then stay in the air and redirect sunshine back upwards. It is like applying sunscreen on the outside of Earth. Researchers at Yale University, US, outlined a plan to use 125 high-flying planes to spread the particles at latitudes (纬度) of 60 degrees north and south. The particles will then travel toward the poles, which could possibly cool the temperature there by 2℃. In the future, the planes could be used to refreeze the poles, said the researchers. Another very promising technique is called “cloud brightening”, according to Chris Sacca, a US climate expert. This method involves sending sea salt particles into clouds above the sea, making them whiter and thus reflect more sunlight back into space. In June, the US government announced in a report that it is now offering support for solar engineering research as a way to slow the rise of global temperatures. According to the report, the US government believes that the technology “offers the possibility of cooling the planet significantly on a timescale of a few years”. However, following the report, an open letter by more than 60 scientists called for caution and more research first. Kristen Rasmussen, a climate scientist at Colorado State University, US, has been studying how these sun-blocking methods will affect rainfall patterns. She said that apart from rainfall, ecosystems and even human communities will also be affected. “We need to be very cautious on this,” Rasmussen told Scientific American. 12.

In groups, we were to create a newspaper around the culture we were studying. On a piece of paper, we wrote the names of three friends we wanted in our group. After collecting all the requests, Mrs. B. informed us that she would take into consideration the names we chose and would let us know the results the next day. I had no doubt I would get the group of my choice. Only a few people behaved normally in the class, and Missy was one of them. I knew we had chosen each other. The next day, I anxiously waited for the class. After the bell rang, Missy and I stopped talking as Mrs. B called for our attention. She started to call out names. When she reached group three, Missy’s name was called. So, I’m in group three,I thought. The second, third and fourth members of the group were called. My name was not included. There had to be some mistake! Then I heard it. The last group: “Mauro, Juliette, Rachel, Karina.” I could feel the tears well in my eyes. How could I face being in that group—the boy who rarely spoke English, the one girl who was always covered by skirts that went down to her ankles, and the other girl who wore weird clothes. Oh, how badly I wanted to be with my friends. I fought back tears as I walked up to Mrs. B. She looked at me and knew what I was there for. I was determined to convince her I should be in the “good” group. “Why. . . ?” I started. She gently placed a hand on my shoulder. “I know what you want, Karina,” she said, “but your group needs you. I need you to help them get a passing grade on this assignment. Only you can help them.” I was stunned. I was confused. I was amazed. She had seen something in me I hadn’t seen. “Will you help them?” she asked. I stood straighter. “Yes,” I replied. I couldn’t believe it came out of my mouth, but it did. I had committed. 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。 Para1: I bravely walked to where the others in my group sat. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Para2: In the end, Mrs. B gave us an A on that assignment. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
