He manages to bring creatures to life with nothing more than a box of colorful chalks and great imagination. What’s more, he makes his cute little characters internet with objects on the streets, and the result is quite charming. One of his main characters is the green slug (鼻涕虫) he has named Sluggo. David has created loads of fun situations featuring the little green slug. When asked why he drew in impossible places, he replied that our lives might not be as set and predictable as we thought they were. “The drawings have been the result of walking around until I come across a place that asks for something.” he said. David’s favorite chalk drawing experience happened at the Ann Arbor Summer Festival four years ago. He drew a strange-looking creature with a hole running through the middle of its stomach. He had no idea why he put the hole there; he was just drawing that while talking to kids. About an hour later, he walked past the same spot and found that someone had filled the creature’s “stomach hole” with a tiny pile of candy. This made the street artist very happy for reasons he could not entirely explain. 24. How can Zinn bring some of his works into fans’ homes? A. By drawing at their homes. B.

And according to recent data reports, the amount of electronic waste is reaching staggering heights, so much so that the capacity for recycling simply isn’t enough. There’s growing concern over the potential environmental issues that might be caused if we don’t find a sufficient way to fight these growing piles of e-waste. Many electronics thrown away have been sent to developing countries in Africa where they are being dismantled (拆开) and parts of them are reused. But this is just one electronic wasteland. An alarming new U.N. report says that since 2010, the amount of global e-waste has grown five times faster than it can be collected and recycled. According to the study, a record 62 million metric tons of e-waste was produced in 2022. That’s an increase of 82% from 2010. The world is on track to generate a whopping (巨大的) 82 million tons of e-waste in 2030. A high-level official with the International Telecommunication Union says the amount of e-waste is up to the manufacturers to make a difference by giving devices a longer life cycle. While some countries have carried out environmental regulations to tackle the problem, some are working on a more grassroots level. Places like the Fixing Factory in London are teaching consumers to make more sustainable choices. 28. What does the underlined word “staggering” mean? A. Shocking. B. Disappointing. C. Confusing. D. Frustrating. 29. What do the figures in paragraph 3 show? A. How challenging it is to deal with e-waste. B. How much the amount of global e-waste is. C. How severe the situation of global e-waste is. D. How abandoned electronics have been dealt with. 30. What is the writer’s attitude towards the situation of global e-waste? A. Objective. B. Approving. C. Dismissive. D. Indifferent. 31. What may be the best title for the text? A. The serious consequence e-waste causes. B. The method of how to deal with e-waste. C. The reason for the generation of e-waste. D. An introduction to e-waste. 【答案】28. A 29. C 30. A 31. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了电子废物的现状，以及全球正在采取措施来应对日益增长的电子废物问题。 【28题详解】 词义猜测题。根据划线词所在句“And according to recent data reports, the amount of electronic waste is reaching staggering heights, so much so that the capacity for recycling simply isn’t enough.”（并且根据最近的数据报告，电子垃圾的数量正在达到staggering高度，如此之多，以至于回收能力根本不够用。）中的“so much so that the capacity for recycling simply isn’t enough”可知，电子垃圾的数量之多，以至于回收能力不够用，说明其数量之多是令人震惊的。故划线词staggering意思是shocking(令人震惊的)。故选A项。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“An alarming new U.N. report says that since 2010, the amount of global e-waste has grown five times faster than it can be collected and recycled. According to the study, a record 62 million metric tons of e-waste was produced in 2022. That’s an increase of 82% from 2010. The world is on track to generate a whopping (巨大的) 82 million tons of e-waste in 2030.”（联合国一份令人警醒的新报告称，自2010年以来，全球电子垃圾的数量增长速度比收集和回收的速度快了五倍。该研究称，2022年产生了创纪录的6200万吨电子垃圾。这比2010年增加了82%。到2030年，全球预计将产生8200万吨电子垃圾。）可知，这些数据表明全球电子垃圾的数量增长速度之快以及预计产生的数量之大，说明全球电子垃圾的形势严峻。故选C项。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，作者在文章中客观描述了全球电子垃圾的现状、问题以及处理方式的挑战，没有表现出明显的个人情感倾向，如赞同（Aapproving）、轻视（Dismissive）或冷漠（Indifferent）。因此，作者的态度是客观的（Objective）。故选A项。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，文章第一段首先介绍电子垃圾的定义，第二段讲述全球电子垃圾的数量之多以及由此带来的环境问题，第三段具体介绍全球电子垃圾的增长速度之快以及预计产生的数量之大，第四段介绍国际社会为应对电子垃圾问题所做出的努力。由此可知，文章主要介绍了电子垃圾，包括其定义、现状以及应对措施。因此，文章的最佳标题为“An introduction to e-waste”（电子垃圾介绍）。故选D项。 D We know that what we eat and drink has a significant impact on our health, and a new study has found another connection between drinking coffee and being less likely to develop Parkinson’s disease. Looking at data collected on 184,024 individuals across an average of 13 years, the international team of researchers behind the study found that coffee consumers had a lower risk of getting Parkinson than those that didn’t drink coffee at all. This isn’t the first study to find a link between coffee and Parkinson, but it goes further than previous research in the way it looks at biomarkers of caffeine intake years ahead of Parkinson’s disease being diagnosed. The top 25 percent of coffee drinkers were found to be 40 percent less likely to develop Parkinson, compared to those who didn’t drink coffee at all. Across all coffee consumers in the study, the risk reduction measured varied between approximately 5 to 63 percent, depending on the country. While the association still held when factors such as smoking and drinking were accounted for, it’s still not enough to prove direct cause and effect. However, there does seem to be something about caffeine and its elements that is protecting people’s brains. Based on previous research, it’s thought that the way caffeine keeps dopamine (多巴胺) flowing in the brain might be the reason for these effects. Parkinson in the brain is characterized by a reduction in dopamine, due to a loss of nerve cells. Considering the way that caffeine hits our neurons, it’s perhaps not surprising that there appears to be a relationship with neurodegenerative diseases. However, as we’re still not sure how exactly Parkinson’s gets started in the brain, it’s difficult to be sure. “Unraveling (解开) the biological action of caffeine on Parkinson’s disease not only carries important public health implications but also enhances our understanding of Parkinson’s disease etiology and fosters potential prevention strategies,” the researchers said. 32. How did the researchers carry out their study? A. By analyzing collected data. B. By comparing experiments. C. By using previous research data. D. By comparing people in different fields. 33. What makes caffeine help protect against Parkinson’s disease? A. It helps reduce the levels of dopamine in the brain. B. It helps increase the flow of dopamine in the brain. C. It helps reduce the production of nerve cells in the brain. D. It helps increase the production of nerve cells in the brain. 34. Which statement about the new study is true? A. It is the first time to find a link between caffeine and Parkinson. B. It has confirmed when Parkinson gets started. C. It has proved the direct cause and effect of Parkinson. D. It has a significant effect on public health. 35. Where is the text probably from? A. A news report. B. A detective story. C. A science journal. D. A diet magazine. 【答案】32. A 33. B 34. D 35. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了咖啡因有利于减缓帕金森病。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Looking at data collected on 184,024 individuals across an average of 13 years, the international team of researchers behind the study found that coffee consumers had a lower risk of getting Parkinson than those that didn’t drink coffee at all.(研究人员研究了平均13年收集的184,024人的数据，发现喝咖啡的人患帕金森病的风险比不喝咖啡的人低)”可知，研究人员通过分析收集到的数据进行他们的研究。故选A。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第六段“Parkinson in the brain is characterized by a reduction in dopamine, due to a loss of nerve cells.(大脑中的帕金森氏症的特点是由于神经细胞的损失，多巴胺减少)”可知，咖啡因有助于预防帕金森病是因为它有助于增加大脑中多巴胺的流动。故选B。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段““Unraveling (解开) the biological action of caffeine on Parkinson’s disease not only carries important public health implications but also enhances our understanding of Parkinson’s disease etiology and fosters potential prevention strategies,” the researchers said.(研究人员说：“揭示咖啡因对帕金森病的生物学作用不仅具有重要的公共卫生意义，而且还增强了我们对帕金森病病因的理解，并促进了潜在的预防策略。”)”可知，D选项“它对公众健康有重大影响”正确。故选D。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“We know that what we eat and drink has a significant impact on our health, and a new study has found another connection between drinking coffee and being less likely to develop Parkinson’s disease.(我们都知道我们的饮食对我们的健康有重大影响，一项新的研究发现了喝咖啡和不太可能患帕金森病之间的另一种联系)”结合文章主要讲述了咖啡因有利于减缓帕金森病。可知，这篇文章可能来自科学杂志。故选C。 第二节：（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Develop a Growth Mindset There are two types of mindset: fixed mindset and growth mindset.

(享受赞美和被批评的意见伤害是很自然的。但你需要过自己的生活，做对你来说正确的事，而不是被别人的观点所左右。总是追求别人的认可会限制你选择最适合自己的东西)”可知，本段的主旨是不要被他人的观点左右，即对他人的意见不敏感。故C选项“对别人的意见不那么敏感”符合语境，故选C。 【39题详解】 根据上文“Not all criticism is helpful-you are clumsy, for example, labels the person without offering any hint for improvement. Constructive criticism contains suggestions for improved performance and is vital to your learning. For example(不是所有的批评都是有益的——例如，你很笨拙，给这个人贴上了标签，却没有提供任何改进的暗示。建设性的批评包含了提升表现的建议，对你的学习至关重要。例如)”可知，本句主要是在举例说明建设性批评。故G选项“我不喜欢你的演讲，因为我在房间后面听不见”符合语境，故选G。 【40题详解】 根据上文“Becoming an industry expert or a recognized specialist takes time. You invest the time in learning and growing as an ongoing process. You need time to seek out and try new approaches, work with your habits, take classes, and read.(成为行业专家或公认的专家需要时间。你把时间花在学习和成长上，这是一个持续的过程。你需要时间去寻找和尝试新的方法，培养你的习惯，上课和阅读)”可知，上文提到成为专家是一个持续的过程，说明需要耐心，故E选项“要想一夜成名，你需要努力和耐心”符合语境，故选E。 第三部分 语言运用（共三节，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。 Once upon a time the colors of the world started to quarrel.

It blew off his hat. At night, it made the trees blowing in the woods near his house. “How can anyone be afraid of the wind?” Someone laughed at Harry. Harry’s friend Antony didn’t make fun of Harry. “You’ll get over it, Harry,” he said. Sometimes that made Harry feel better. But not for long. One day Antony came to Harry’s house to play. “Look at my glider (滑翔机),” said Antony. “It does tricks and loop-de-loops when I fly it outside in the wind.” “Nice,” said Harry. They played cars. They played robots. They drew pictures. Clouds rolled in. The tree in front of Harry’s house swayed. A garbage can fell clattered down the street. “Harry,” said Antony, “the wind is blowing. I don’t want to stay inside. I want to fly my glider.” Harry was silent. “Want to come?” asked Antony. “No, thanks,” answered Harry. Harry stayed inside and played with his construction set. He pictured launching the glider with Antony. But when he imagined the wind blowing against his face, he was down. He felt sad to be in his room while everyone else was outside. Harry got a big piece of paper and drew a kite. He cut it out and colored it. He pretended the kite was flying against the clouds. But after a while, he got tired of pretending. Outside the window Antony’s glider was making circles. It was flying upside down. Harry sighed. He was tired of feeling afraid. Suddenly he wanted to stamp his feet. He wanted to yell out loud. He wanted to yell, “I AM NOT AFRAID!!” So he tried it. Harry was surprised. It felt good to yell. Then Harry took his kite and went outside. 注意：续写词数应为150左右 The wind was blowing, but he marched forward and pulled himself into the branches of the tree in front of his house. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The wind blew harder, then Harry let his kite go. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version： The wind was blowing, but he marched forward and pulled himself into the branches of the tree in front of his house. He sat there in its branches with his kite. The tree’s leaves whistling. Its branches moved gently. Some little ones broke as the wind picked up. Harry held on. Antony’s glider was moving upward or downward. Harry held on. Harry was enjoying himself. He liked the way the wind smelled of spring blossoms. He liked moving with the tree. “This isn’t so bad!” said Harry. The wind blew harder, then Harry let his kite go. The wind caught it. Harry watched it flying up and down. He heard it flap. The kite’s crayon colors sparkled in the sunlight. Harry let out the string and the kite climbed higher. It moved as the wind moved, just above the tree. Antony watched Harry’s kite. Harry watched his kite, too. He sat in the tree and watched it until the wind became a gentle, whispering breeze. Then the kite settled into the garden. Harry climbed down and played with Antony outside together all afternoon. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了哈利害怕风，哈利的朋友安东尼没有取笑哈利。而是带着哈利通过放风筝来克服恐惧，他们度过了美好的一天。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“风在刮，但他还是大步向前，爬进了房前那棵树的树枝里”可知，第一段可描写哈利在树上放风筝的过程以及感受。 ②由第二段首句内容“风吹得更大了，然后哈利放开了他的风筝”可知，第二段可描写哈利放开了风筝，和安东尼一起在外面玩了一下午。 2. 续写线索：哈利爬上树——哈利坚持——玩得很开心——放开风筝——看风筝飞舞——和安东尼玩耍 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①放开：let go/release ②喜爱：like/be fond of ③看着：watch/look at 情绪类 ①糟糕：bad/awful ②温柔：gently/softly 【点睛】【高分句型1】Some little ones broke as the wind picked up.

It marks the shortest day and longest night of the year. Since before recorded history, the winter solstice has traditionally meant a time of renewal and ritual for people all over the world. Here are some ancient winter solstice celebrations from both hemispheres and how they’re marked. Shab-e Yalda For hundreds of years, Iranians have gathered on the winter solstice. They celebrate Yalda with food and drink. Yalda means birth or rebirth. The holiday is dedicated to the sun god Mithra. Nuts and fruits such as pomegranates and watermelons are symbolic. Their red hues (颜色) represent dawn and life. The holiday celebrates light winning over darkness. Dongzhi In Chinese, Dongzhi literally means “winter’s arrival.” It is one of the solar terms in the traditional Chinese calendar. Traditionally celebrated as an end-of-harvest festival during the Han Dynasty, today it is an important time to spend with family and eat a hearty meal of tangyuan or dumplings. It depends on what part of China one lives in. Soyal For the Native American Hopi tribe in the Southwest, the Soyal ceremony is important. December is the month when protective spirits called katsinas bring the sun back from its long slumber (睡眠). It lasts up to 16 days. Ceremonies include gift-giving, dancing, and storytelling. Toji In Japan, the winter solstice comes with several rituals and customs to welcome the returning sun. One custom dates back hundreds of years. It involves taking a hot bath with yuzu, a citrus fruit known for its healing properties. Other traditions include eating foods that contain the “n” sound (like udon 乌冬). They are believed to bring good luck. 21. What does the winter solstice mean? A. The end of winter season. B. The beginning of the spring season. C. The longest day and the shortest night of the year. D. The shortest day and the longest night of the year. 22. What does Shab-e Yalda traditionally celebrate? A. The arrival of spring. B. The end of the harvest season. C. The victory of light over darkness. D. The start of the new year. 23. What is a common tradition in Japan during the winter solstice? A. Eating tangyuan or dumplings. B. Taking a hot bath with yuzu. C. Making snow sculptures. D. Giving gifts, dancing and storytelling. B If you spent any time in Ann Arbor during the summer over the last few years, you’ve probably come across some of artist David Zinn’s sidewalk works. Recently, sidewalk drawings from self-taught artist David Zinn have been popular since some of his works were shown on social media websites. Thanks to others’ help, Zinn will now be bringing some of his favorite works into the homes of his fans. Earlier this month, Zinn successfully raised $30,000 to publish an 80-Page book of his works. The chalk artist has become known for his brightly colored little creatures dotting the pavement. He manages to bring creatures to life with nothing more than a box of colorful chalks and great imagination. What’s more, he makes his cute little characters internet with objects on the streets, and the result is quite charming. One of his main characters is the green slug (鼻涕虫) he has named Sluggo. David has created loads of fun situations featuring the little green slug. When asked why he drew in impossible places, he replied that our lives might not be as set and predictable as we thought they were. “The drawings have been the result of walking around until I come across a place that asks for something.” he said. David’s favorite chalk drawing experience happened at the Ann Arbor Summer Festival four years ago. He drew a strange-looking creature with a hole running through the middle of its stomach. He had no idea why he put the hole there; he was just drawing that while talking to kids. About an hour later he walked past the same spot and found that someone had filled the creature’s “stomach hole” with a tiny pile of candy. This made the street artist very happy for reasons he could not entirely explain. 24. How can Zinn bring some of his works into fans’ homes? A. By drawing at their homes. B. By drawing on media websites. C. By publishing a book of his works. D. By collecting some money from fans. 25. Why did Zinn’s works become popular? A. Because he could draw in many impossible places. B. Because his great creativity made his works charming. C. Because his world-famous green slug has helped him get attention. D. Because he walked around and found places that needed a drawing. 26.

C E-waste can be abandoned cell phones, laptops or really any other type of tech device that gets thrown away. And according to recent data reports, the amount of electronic waste is reaching staggering heights, so much so that the capacity for recycling simply isn’t enough. There’s growing concern over the potential environmental issues that might be caused if we don’t find a sufficient way to fight these growing piles of e-waste. Many electronics thrown away have been sent to developing countries in Africa where they are being dismantled (拆开) and parts of them are reused. But this is just one electronic wasteland. An alarming new U.N. report says that since 2010, the amount of global e-waste has grown five times faster than it can be collected and recycled. According to the study, a record 62 million metric tons of e-waste was produced in 2022. That’s an increase of 82% from 2010. The world is on track to generate a whopping (巨大的) 82 million tons of e-waste in 2030. A high-level official with the International Telecommunication Union says the amount of e-waste is up to the manufacturers to make a difference by giving devices a longer life cycle. While some countries have carried out environmental regulations to tackle the problem, some are working on a more grassroots level. Places like the Fixing Factory in London are teaching consumers to make more sustainable choices. 28. What does the underlined word “staggering” mean? A. Shocking. B. Disappointing. C. Confusing. D. Frustrating. 29. What do the figures in paragraph 3 show? A. How challenging it is to deal with e-waste. B. How much the amount of global e-waste is. C. How severe the situation of global e-waste is. D. How abandoned electronics have been dealt with. 30. What is the writer’s attitude towards the situation of global e-waste? A. Objective. B. Approving. C. Dismissive. D. Indifferent. 31. What may be the best title for the text? A. The serious consequence e-waste causes. B. The method of how to deal with e-waste. C. The reason for the generation of e-waste. D. An introduction to e-waste. D We know that what we eat and drink has a significant impact on our health, and a new study has found another connection between drinking coffee and being less likely to develop Parkinson’s disease. Looking at data collected on 184,024 individuals across an average of 13 years, the international team of researchers behind the study found that coffee consumers had a lower risk of getting Parkinson than those that didn’t drink coffee at all. This isn’t the first study to find a link between coffee and Parkinson, but it goes further than previous research in the way it looks at biomarkers of caffeine intake years ahead of Parkinson’s disease being diagnosed. The top 25 percent of coffee drinkers were found to be 40 percent less likely to develop Parkinson, compared to those who didn’t drink coffee at all. Across all coffee consumers in the study, the risk reduction measured varied between approximately 5 to 63 percent, depending on the country. While the association still held when factors such as smoking and drinking were accounted for, it’s still not enough to prove direct cause and effect. However, there does seem to be something about caffeine and its elements that is protecting people’s brains. Based on previous research, it’s thought that the way caffeine keeps dopamine (多巴胺) flowing in the brain might be the reason for these effects. Parkinson in the brain is characterized by a reduction in dopamine, due to a loss of nerve cells. Considering the way that caffeine hits our neurons it’s perhaps not surprising that there appears to be a relationship with neurodegenerative diseases. However, as we’re still not sure how exactly Parkinson’s gets started in the brain, it’s difficult to be sure. “Unraveling (解开) the biological action of caffeine on Parkinson’s disease not only carries important public health implications but also enhances our understanding of Parkinson’s disease etiology and fosters potential prevention strategies,” the researchers said. 32. How did the researchers carry out their study? A. By analyzing collected data. B. By comparing experiments. C. By using previous research data. D. By comparing people in different fields. 33. What makes caffeine help protect against Parkinson’s disease? A. It helps reduce the levels of dopamine in the brain. B. It helps increase the flow of dopamine in the brain. C. It helps reduce the production of nerve cells in the brain. D. It helps increase the production of nerve cells in the brain. 34. Which statement about the new study is true? A. It is the first time to find a link between caffeine and Parkinson. B. It has confirmed when Parkinson gets started. C. It has proved the direct cause and effect of Parkinson. D. It has a significant effect on public health. 35. Where is the text probably from? A. A news report. B. A detective story. C. A science journal. D. A diet magazine. 第二节：（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Develop a Growth Mindset There are two types of mindset: fixed mindset and growth mindset.

It whistled under his door. It followed Harry home from the school bus. It blew off his hat. At night, it made the trees blowing in the woods near his house. “How can anyone be afraid of the wind?” Someone laughed at Harry. Harry’s friend Antony didn’t make fun of Harry. “You’ll get over it, Harry,” he said. Sometimes that made Harry feel better. But not for long. One day Antony came to Harry’s house to play. “Look at my glider (滑翔机),” said Antony. “It does tricks and loop-de-loops when I fly it outside in the wind.” “Nice,” said Harry. They played cars. They played robots. They drew pictures. Clouds rolled in. The tree in front of Harry’s house swayed. A garbage can fell clattered down the street. “Harry,” said Antony, “the wind is blowing. I don’t want to stay inside. I want to fly my glider.” Harry was silent. “Want to come?” asked Antony. “No, thanks,” answered Harry. Harry stayed inside and played with his construction set. He pictured launching the glider with Antony. But when he imagined the wind blowing against his face, he was down. He felt sad to be in his room while everyone else was outside. Harry got a big piece of paper and drew a kite. He cut it out and colored it. He pretended the kite was flying against the clouds. But after a while, he got tired of pretending. Outside the window Antony’s glider was making circles. It was flying upside down. Harry sighed. He was tired of feeling afraid. Suddenly he wanted to stamp his feet. He wanted to yell out loud. He wanted to yell, “I AM NOT AFRAID!!” So he tried it. Harry was surprised. It felt good to yell. Then Harry took his kite and went outside. 注意：续写词数应为150左右 The wind was blowing, but he marched forward and pulled himself into the branches of the tree in front of his house. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The wind blew harder, then Harry let his kite go. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
