The way it came into being is curious, an accident as interesting as the book itself. On a “golden afternoon” in 1832, a shy Oxford teacher Charles Dodgson took the three little daughters of his college dean (主任) on a boat trip on the river with another Oxford teacher. Together they rowed along the river and had tea on the bank. As they moved along slowly over the river, Dodgson created the world of Wonderland. We like to think that he invented the story to make the young girls laugh, but more likely, he told the story in order to keep them quiet, to hold their attention, or to stop their many questions--or perhaps even to keep them from rocking the boat. The story almost evaporated (蒸发) in thin air and would have but for the persistence of Dodgson's favourite of the three sisters, ten-year-old Alice Liddell. Many years after the river picnic, when Alice was an old woman, she remembered that the story that Dodgson told on that particular river journey “must have been better than usual” because “on the next day I started to pester (纠缠) him to write down the story for me which I had never done before.” Alice remembered that she “kept going on, going on at him” until he promised to satisfy her. For one reason or another, however, it took him almost two and a half years to deliver to his young friend the completed manuscript (手稿), illustrated with his own drawings. He gave the small green leather book to Alice as a Christmas present in 1835. It was then clearly kept in an obvious place, and visitors would sometimes pick it up and look at it, even read through it. One visitor told Mrs. Liddel to advise its author to publish it. On May 9, 1863, Dodgson got a letter from a publisher announcing that they would get the book published. 4. What did the two Oxford teachers do with the three little girls on the afternoon in 1832? A. They prevented an accident. B. They built a rocking boat. C. They had a riverside picnic. D. They made a tea farm trip. 5. What did Alice Liddell do the next day after the boat trip? A. She retold the story to others. B. She reminded Dodgson of the picnic. C. She remembered the beauty of the journey. D. She begged Dodgson to write down the story. 6. How did Charles Dodgson respond to Alice in about 1835? A. He sent Alice a birthday present. B. He drew some paintings for Alice. C. He showed the green leather book to visitors. D. He delivered a completed manuscript to Alice. 7. What is the passage mainly about? A. How Alice books came into being. B. How Alice books interest children. C. How long Alice books survived. D. How hard it was to write Alice books. 【答案】4. C 5. D 6. D 7. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了《爱丽丝漫游奇境记》这部伟大儿童文学作品的诞生经过。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。由第一段中的“On a “golden afternoon” in 1832, a shy Oxford teacher Charles Dodgson took the three little daughters of his college dean ( 主任 ) on a boat trip on the river with another Oxford teacher. (1832年的一个“金色下午”，害羞的牛津大学教师查尔斯·道奇森带着他学院院长的三个小女儿与另一位牛津大学教师一同乘船沿河游览。)”可知，两位牛津大学的教师与三个小女孩在1832年的下午进行了一次河边的野餐活动。选项C“他们进行了一次河边野餐。”符合题意。故选C项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。从第二段中的“Many years after the river picnic, when Alice was an old woman, she remembered that the story that Dodgson told on that particular river journey “must have been better than usual” because “on the next day I started to pester( 纠缠 ) him to write down the story for me which I had never done before.” (多年后，当爱丽丝已经是一位老妇人时，她回忆起道奇森在那次特别的河上旅行中讲述的故事“一定比平时更好”，因为“第二天我开始纠缠他为我写下这个故事，这是以前从未做过的。)”可知，爱丽丝·利德尔在那次乘船旅行后的第二天就开始缠着道奇森为她写下那个故事。D项“她请求道奇森写下那个故事。”符合题意。故选D项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。从第二段的内容“For one reason or another, however, it took him almost two and a half years to deliver to his young friend the completed manuscript (手稿), illustrated with his own drawings. (然而，由于种种原因，他花了将近两年半的时间才向他的年轻朋友交付完成的手稿，手稿配以他自己的插图。)”可知，故事发生在1832年，两年半后，即1835年，所以查尔斯·道奇森大约在1835年回应了爱丽丝的请求，向她交付了一份完成的手稿。故选D项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。整篇文章讲述了《爱丽丝漫游奇境记》这本儿童书籍的诞生过程，包括查尔斯·道奇森在一次乘船旅行中创作故事的情景，以及爱丽丝·利德尔坚持不懈地请求他写下这个故事，最终导致手稿的完成和出版。从文章的最后一段“On May 9, 1863, Dodgson got a letter from a publisher announcing that they would get the book published. (1863年5月9日，Dodgson收到出版商的一封信，宣布他们将出版这本书。)”可以看出全文是关于一本书的出版过程的。选项A（爱丽丝系列书籍是如何诞生的）符合题意。故选A项。 C To understand Hip-hop’s future, look no further than the lead single “K-Pop” on the album "Utopia" by Travis Scott. Mr Scott is American, but the song’s beat is part-Brazilian. The song features two other big stars, the Weekend, a Canadian hit, and Bad Bunny, a Puerto Rican who raps in Spanish and has been the world's most-streamed artist for three years on Spotify. The song has also generated interest from fans of Korean pop. One critic has called it a "shockingly stupid plan to create the most popular song in the world", by bringing stars and elements of global hip-hop into a single tune. Since its supposed origin at a block party in New York on August 11th 1973, hip-hop, which includes rap music, has become the most popular musical type in America, together with R&B. It has shaped the cultural image of black Americans and has become so much a part of America’s identity. Hip-hop’s past 50 years have been heavily American, with many stars and songs emerging there. But America's hip-hop dominance (支配) in the next half-century will not be as great. The geographical centre of hip-hop is shifting: first from New York City and Los Angeles, then to southern cities like Atlanta in the 2000s, and now to everywhere. Many of the most influential new hip-hop stars are no longer African-American. Take the very good Bad Bunny, whose song, "Me Porto Bonito", has been streamed 1.5bn times on Spotify since its release last year. A greater pool of talent is one reason that people in many countries increasingly listen to local rap rather than American hip-hop artists. Also, people want to see themselves represented. This is the first time that artists in other countries are taking on Americans’ dominance of hip-hop so directly. However, despite all the talk of a hip-hop downturn (低迷时期) in America, its influence remains undeniable and it is just starting a new sort of tour: with more artists from more countries embracing the type than ever. 8. Why does the author mention “K-Pop” by Travis Scott? A. To give an example of classic hip-hop. B. To demonstrate the trend of hip-hop. C. To stress the popularity of hip-hop. D. To recommend this global draw. 9. What influence has hip-hop had on America according to the text? A. It has made great contributions to America. B. It has generated some other musical genres. C. It has given rise to block parties in New York. D. It is representative of African American culture. 10. Why do people in many countries prefer local rappers to American hip-hop artists? A. Because American hip-hop is out of date. B. Because America doesn't have talent pool. C. Because local rap reflects their own life. D. Because they dislike American influence. 11. Which is the most suitable title for the text? A. The rise and fall of American hip-hop. B. The past glory and great promise of hip-hop. C. Americans' dominance of hip-hop has gone. D. Hip-hop will be less American and more global. 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。作者详细阐述了嘻哈音乐的发展历程、文化影响以及全球化趋势，通过具体例子和分析来帮助读者理解嘻哈音乐的演变及其未来的方向。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。从第一段中“To understand Hip-hop's future, look no further than the lead single “K-Pop” on the album "Utopia" by Travis Scott. (要理解嘻哈音乐的未来，看看Travis Scott专辑“Utopia”中的主打单曲“K-Pop”就足够了。)”可知，作者提及“K-Pop”是为了展示嘻哈音乐未来的走向，通过这首融合了不同文化元素的歌曲，表明嘻哈音乐正在跨越国界，吸收全球的音乐风格和文化特色。B选项（展示嘻哈音乐的趋势）符合题意。故选B项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。从第二段中“It has shaped the cultural image of black Americans and has become so much a part of America’s identity. (嘻哈音乐塑造了黑人美国人的文化形象，已经成为美国身份的重要组成部分。)”可知，根据文章，嘻哈音乐对美国的影响在于它塑造了黑人美国人的文化形象，并深深植根于美国的身份之中。D项（它代表了非裔美国文化）符合题意。故选D项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。从倒数第二段中的“A greater pool of talent is one reason that people in many countries increasingly listen to local rap rather than American hip-hop artists. Also, people want to see themselves represented. (更多的人才库是许多国家的人们越来越多地听本地说唱音乐而不是美国嘻哈艺术家的原因之一。此外，人们希望看到自己的形象得到展现。)”可知，在很多国家，人们更倾向于听本地的说唱音乐，一方面是因为当地有更多的人才涌现，另一方面是因为人们渴望看到自己的文化和背景在音乐中得到反映。C选项（因为本地说唱反映了他们自己的生活）。故选C项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。由最后一段中的“However, despite all the talk of a hip-hop downturn (低迷时期 ) in America, its influence remains undeniable and it is just starting a new sort of tour: with more artists from more countries embracing the type than ever. (然而，尽管人们都在谈论嘻哈在美国的低迷，但它的影响力仍然是不可否认的，它只是开始了一种新的巡演：来自更多国家的更多艺术家比以往任何时候都更喜欢这种类型。)”可知，文章的主旨是描述嘻哈音乐的全球化趋势，即嘻哈音乐如何不再仅仅局限于美国，而是成为一种全球化的音乐类型，由世界各地的艺术家所创作和演绎。D项（嘻哈音乐将变得不那么美国化，而更加全球化。）内容符合。故选D项。 D Of the five robotic landers that have made the attempt to land on the moon in the past year, only two sent by national space agencies — those of India and Japan succeeded. Neither of the two from private companies succeeded in their attempts. As a result, all eyes are now on Odysseus, a private lander which set off for the Moon on a SpaceX Falcon 9 shortly after 6 am GMT on February 15th. Odysseus, partly-funded by America’s space agency, NASA, was built by Intuitive Machines, an American firm. It is aiming to land Odysseus near the Moon’s south pole, an area never visited before and considered rich with promise because of the presence of frozen liquids and gases in some of its craters (大坑). Those deposits are of great interest to scientists and may also be of practical use, providing water or rocket fuel to future lunar bases and the rockets launching. The two-ton lander, roughly the size of a telephone box, is carrying six NASA instruments that are intended to pave the way for future human visits and a potential long-term presence. Five of NASA’s instruments will test various navigation and landing technologies. The sixth will evaluate the Moon’s potential as a site for radio astronomy, as well as the challenges of radio communication from a location where Earth is always low on the lunar horizon. A large number of things have to go right for the landing to succeed — and the failures of other recent lunar missions demonstrate the wide variety of ways in which things can go wrong. Sometimes the problem is software-related. In other cases, hardware is at fault. So for now the immediate question is whether Odysseus can succeed where all previous private landers have failed. If all goes well, a successful lunar landing by Odysseus would not just be the first by a private company; it would also be the first soft landing on the Moon by an American-made spacecraft after the Apollo 17 mission of 1972. 12. Why does Odysseus attract all the attention? A. Because it will conduct a manned mission. B. Because the other private landers failed. C. Because people trust the private firm. D. Because NASA funded it. 13. What does the underlined word “deposits” refer to in paragraph 2? A. The frozen liquids and gases. B. Areas rich with promise. C. Water and rocket fuels. D. Some of the craters. 14. What does NASA expect this lander to do? A. To standardize the landing procedures. B. To find an alternative navigational route. C. To establish a base station for radio communication. D. To explore the possibility of using Moon for radio astronomy. 15. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Since 1972, no American spacecrafts have landed on the moon. B. Private companies are more powerful than national ones. C. Previous landing failures are all related to software. D. Odysseus’s landing on the moon is impossible. 【答案】12. B 13. A 14. D 15. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了机器人着陆器奥德修斯由私人资助，吸引了所有的注意力，介绍了其目标。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Of the five robotic landers that have made the attempt to land on the moon in the past year, only two sent by national space agencies — those of India and Japan succeeded. Neither of the two from private companies succeeded in their attempts. As a result, all eyes are now on Odysseus, a private lander which set off for the Moon on a SpaceX Falcon 9 shortly after 6 am GMT on February 15th.(在过去的一年里，有五个机器人着陆器试图登陆月球，其中只有两个是由国家航天局发射的，分别是印度和日本。这两家私人公司的尝试都没有成功。因此，现在所有的目光都集中在奥德修斯上，这是一个私人着陆器，在格林尼治时间2月15日早上6点后不久，由SpaceX猎鹰9号发射前往月球)”可知，奥德修斯吸引了所有的注意力是因为其他私人登陆器失败了。故选B。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“It is aiming to land Odysseus near the Moon’s south pole, an area never visited before and considered rich with promise because of the presence of frozen liquids and gases in some of its craters (大坑).(它的目标是让奥德修斯号在月球南极附近着陆，这是一个以前从未去过的地区，由于它的一些陨石坑中存在冷冻液体和气体，因此被认为是充满希望的)”以及后文“are of great interest to scientists and may also be of practical use, providing water or rocket fuel to future lunar bases and the rockets launching”可知，这些冷冻的液体和气体引起了科学家们的极大兴趣，也可能有实际用途，为未来的月球基地和火箭发射提供水或火箭燃料。故划线词意思是“冷冻的液体和气体”。故选A。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The sixth will evaluate the Moon’s potential as a site for radio astronomy, as well as the challenges of radio communication from a location where Earth is always low on the lunar horizon.(第六项任务将评估月球作为射电天文学基地的潜力，以及从地球始终处于月球地平线低处的位置进行无线电通信的挑战)”可知，NASA希望这个着陆器探索利用月球进行射电天文学的可能性。故选D。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“A large number of things have to go right for the landing to succeed — and the failures of other recent lunar missions demonstrate the wide variety of ways in which things can go wrong. Sometimes the problem is software-related. In other cases, hardware is at fault. So for now the immediate question is whether Odysseus can succeed where all previous private landers have failed. If all goes well, a successful lunar landing by Odysseus would not just be the first by a private company; it would also be the first soft landing on the Moon by an American-made spacecraft after the Apollo 17 mission of 1972.(要想成功着陆，很多事情都必须做好——最近其他登月任务的失败表明，出错的方式多种多样。有时问题与软件有关。在其他情况下，是硬件出了问题。所以现在最直接的问题是奥德修斯能否在之前所有私人登陆器都失败的地方成功。如果一切顺利，奥德修斯成功登月将不仅是私人公司的第一次；这也将是继1972年阿波罗17号任务后，美国制造的宇宙飞船首次在月球上软着陆)”可知，自1972年以来，没有美国航天器登陆过月球。故选A。 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。 In the age of artificial intelligence (AI), the need for critical thinking among humans has become important. ___16___ This is where critical thinking steps in, helping humans stay ahead in an increasingly automated (自动化的) world.

(在人工智能（AI）的时代，人类中批判性思维的需求变得至关重要)”这句话强调了在AI盛行的时代，批判性思维对人类的重要。G选项AI, despite its impressive advancements, lacks the ability of deep understanding. (尽管AI取得了令人印象深刻的进步，但它缺乏深度理解的能力)直接回应了为何在AI时代批判性思维对人类如此重要——因为AI缺乏深度理解和判断力，而这是人类通过批判性思维可以弥补的。故选G项。 【17题详解】 上文“Critical thinking is the process of actively and skillfully analyzing, evaluating, and constructing arguments. It involves the ability to question assumptions, recognize biases (偏见), and make informed decisions based on logic and evidence. (批判性思维是积极而巧妙地分析、评估和构建论点的过程。它涉及质疑假设、识别偏见以及根据逻辑和证据做出明智决策的能力)”这段话阐述了批判性思维的定义，根据下文的“Firstly”“Moreover”等可知，后文讲到的多方面人工智能的局限性都可以由批判性思维来弥补。由此可知，A选项It can balance out AI's inability in many aspects.(批判性思维可以在许多方面弥补人工智能的不足之处)能够承上启下，符合语境。故选A项。 【18题详解】 上文“Firstly, AI systems are designed to operate within predefined parameters (参数) and datasets. They are good at pattern recognition and data analysis but often struggle with unexpected situations. Humans, armed with critical thinking skills, can identify and address these blind spots, adapting their approach to tackling unforeseen challenges. (首先，人工智能系统被设计为在预定义的参数和数据集内运行。他们擅长模式识别和数据分析，但经常与意外情况作斗争。拥有批判性思维技能的人类可以识别和解决这些盲点，调整他们的方法来应对不可预见的挑战) ”提到了人类运用批判性思维技能可以识别并解决AI系统的盲点。E选项Moreover, AI is affected by biases and errors in the data it is trained on. (此外，人工智能还受到训练数据中的偏见和错误的影响。) 是最能填入空白处的句子，因为它既承接了上文关于AI局限性的讨论，又为下文讨论人类批判性思维的优势提供了自然的过渡。故选E项。 【19题详解】 下文“In a world where AI is automating routine tasks, the ability to think critically and creatively becomes a distinct factor. It allows humans to generate novel ideas, solve problems in unique ways, and contribute to social progress. (在人工智能自动化日常任务的世界里，批判性和创造性思维的能力成为一个独特的因素。它使人类能够产生新颖的想法，以独特的方式解决问题，并为社会进步做出贡献)”这段话强调了在AI自动化了许多日常任务的情况下，批判性思维和创造力成为人类区别于机器的关键能力。C选项Critical thinking encourages creativity and innovation (创新).

"I asked for a new cellphone and a laptop!” “Where are the rest of the presents?" asked my son, Blake. Money was tight, and as a single parent, I was doing the best I could. My feelings were hurt, but l didn't want to show it. I was very disappointed in their reactions to their presents. “What kind of Christmas is this?” asked Allison. I was starting to get angry now. How selfish and unappreciative could my children be? What had we done? I was on my own now, and I couldn't maintain our old lifestyle. "Okay! I want you to remember how you are acting this Christmas and the hurtful thing you have said. We will be celebrating Christmas in a whole new way next year!" I told them. The months went by quickly. I was planning our next Christmas celebration in my head a little every day and determined to teach them a lesson. I contacted agencies to find a family that desperately needed help. That's how I found the family with four children to support on low income. That next Christmas we did all the usual traditions, but as Christmas Eve drew closer, there were still no presents under the tree. Finally, my kids asked where the gifts were and I explained that we would be giving gifts to a family that truly needed them. They needed to see what it was like to need essentials such as clothing and food. We went shopping that weekend. We bought gifts for all the children and purchased everything they would need for a nice Christmas dinner and the winter. Blake and Allison didn't seem happy with the situation, but I was sure I had them thinking about their attitudes last Christmas. I had a couple of gifts hidden in my closet, but they would only get them if they were polite and respectful to this family and to me. 注意： 1.所续写短文的词数应为 150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 It was the day before Christmas Eve, the day we would deliver the food and gifts. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The drive home was quiet. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 It was the day before Christmas Eve, the day we would deliver the food and gifts. When we arrived at the family’s house, a warm but humble hut, their eyes widened at the sight. The youngest child of the family, barely five years old, ran up to us with a smile that lit up his face brighter than any Christmas lights. As we handed out the gifts and saw the genuine joy and gratitude on their faces. Meanwhile, I found that Allison’s eyes welled up with tears, and Blake stood quietly, watching the scene. The drive home was quiet. Maybe something unusual was growing in their hearts. When we finally reached our house, Allison turned to me, saying "Mom, I’m sorry for being so ungrateful last year. Seeing that family today made me realize how much we actually have." Blake nodded in agreement, adding, "I promise to never take anything for granted again." Their words warmed my heart, knowing that they had learned a valuable lesson about gratitude and empathy. As we sat down for our Christmas dinner, I sensed the atmosphere was filled with appreciation and love, a true spirit of Christmas. 【解析】 【导语】本文以对话为线索展开，讲述了作者尽最大能力为孩子么准备了圣诞礼物，孩子们却特别不满意，对于孩子们的不知道感恩，作为母亲，作者很焦虑。后来联系了一个需要帮助的家庭，购物以后，准备带孩子们去送圣诞礼物。 【详解】 1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“是平安夜的前一天，那天我们会送食物和礼物。”可知，第一段可描写作者和两个孩子如何和这个家庭一起度过圣诞节。 ②由第二段首句内容“开车回家的路上很安静。”可知，第二段可描写两个孩子对这个圣诞节深有感触。 2.续写线索：手头紧——不知足——计划下一个圣诞节——急需帮助的家庭——决定一起过圣诞节——做准备——度过愉快的圣诞节——理解与感激 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①分发：hand out/give out ②看见：see/spot/find ③到达：arrive at/get to /reach 情绪类 ①泪流满面：well up with tears/be wet with tears ②共情：empathy/sympathy 【点睛】【高分句型1】The youngest child of the family, barely five years old, ran up to us with a smile that lit up his face brighter than any Christmas lights.（运用了that引导的限制性定语从句） 【高分句型2】Meanwhile, I found that Allison’s eyes welled up with tears, and Blake stood quietly, watching the scene.（运用了现在分词作状语） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 华中师大一附中 2023--2024 学年度下学期期末检测 高一年级英语试题 时间: 120分钟 满分: 150分 第一部分：听力 (共两节，满分30分) 做题时，先将答案划在试卷上。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?

The way it came into being is curious, an accident as interesting as the book itself. On a “golden afternoon” in 1832, a shy Oxford teacher Charles Dodgson took the three little daughters of his college dean (主任) on a boat trip on the river with another Oxford teacher. Together they rowed along the river and had tea on the bank. As they moved along slowly over the river, Dodgson created the world of Wonderland. We like to think that he invented the story to make the young girls laugh, but more likely, he told the story in order to keep them quiet, to hold their attention, or to stop their many questions--or perhaps even to keep them from rocking the boat. The story almost evaporated (蒸发) in thin air and would have but for the persistence of Dodgson's favourite of the three sisters, ten-year-old Alice Liddell. Many years after the river picnic, when Alice was an old woman, she remembered that the story that Dodgson told on that particular river journey “must have been better than usual” because “on the next day I started to pester (纠缠) him to write down the story for me which I had never done before.” Alice remembered that she “kept going on, going on at him” until he promised to satisfy her. For one reason or another, however, it took him almost two and a half years to deliver to his young friend the completed manuscript (手稿), illustrated with his own drawings. He gave the small green leather book to Alice as a Christmas present in 1835. It was then clearly kept in an obvious place, and visitors would sometimes pick it up and look at it, even read through it. One visitor told Mrs. Liddel to advise its author to publish it. On May 9, 1863, Dodgson got a letter from a publisher announcing that they would get the book published. 4. What did the two Oxford teachers do with the three little girls on the afternoon in 1832?

Mr Scott is American, but the song’s beat is part-Brazilian. The song features two other big stars, the Weekend, a Canadian hit, and Bad Bunny, a Puerto Rican who raps in Spanish and has been the world's most-streamed artist for three years on Spotify. The song has also generated interest from fans of Korean pop. One critic has called it a "shockingly stupid plan to create the most popular song in the world", by bringing stars and elements of global hip-hop into a single tune. Since its supposed origin at a block party in New York on August 11th 1973, hip-hop, which includes rap music, has become the most popular musical type in America, together with R&B. It has shaped the cultural image of black Americans and has become so much a part of America’s identity. Hip-hop’s past 50 years have been heavily American, with many stars and songs emerging there. But America's hip-hop dominance (支配) in the next half-century will not be as great. The geographical centre of hip-hop is shifting: first from New York City and Los Angeles, then to southern cities like Atlanta in the 2000s, and now to everywhere. Many of the most influential new hip-hop stars are no longer African-American. Take the very good Bad Bunny, whose song, "Me Porto Bonito", has been streamed 1.5bn times on Spotify since its release last year. A greater pool of talent is one reason that people in many countries increasingly listen to local rap rather than American hip-hop artists. Also, people want to see themselves represented. This is the first time that artists in other countries are taking on Americans’ dominance of hip-hop so directly. However, despite all the talk of a hip-hop downturn (低迷时期) in America, its influence remains undeniable and it is just starting a new sort of tour: with more artists from more countries embracing the type than ever. 8. Why does the author mention “K-Pop” by Travis Scott? A. To give an example of classic hip-hop. B. To demonstrate the trend of hip-hop. C. To stress the popularity of hip-hop. D. To recommend this global draw. 9. What influence has hip-hop had on America according to the text? A. It has made great contributions to America. B. It has generated some other musical genres. C. It has given rise to block parties in New York. D. It is representative of African American culture. 10. Why do people in many countries prefer local rappers to American hip-hop artists? A. Because American hip-hop is out of date. B. Because America doesn't have talent pool. C. Because local rap reflects their own life. D. Because they dislike American influence. 11. Which is the most suitable title for the text? A. The rise and fall of American hip-hop. B. The past glory and great promise of hip-hop. C. Americans' dominance of hip-hop has gone. D. Hip-hop will be less American and more global. D Of the five robotic landers that have made the attempt to land on the moon in the past year, only two sent by national space agencies — those of India and Japan succeeded. Neither of the two from private companies succeeded in their attempts. As a result, all eyes are now on Odysseus, a private lander which set off for the Moon on a SpaceX Falcon 9 shortly after 6 am GMT on February 15th. Odysseus, partly-funded by America’s space agency, NASA, was built by Intuitive Machines, an American firm. It is aiming to land Odysseus near the Moon’s south pole, an area never visited before and considered rich with promise because of the presence of frozen liquids and gases in some of its craters (大坑). Those deposits are of great interest to scientists and may also be of practical use, providing water or rocket fuel to future lunar bases and the rockets launching. The two-ton lander, roughly the size of a telephone box, is carrying six NASA instruments that are intended to pave the way for future human visits and a potential long-term presence. Five of NASA’s instruments will test various navigation and landing technologies. The sixth will evaluate the Moon’s potential as a site for radio astronomy, as well as the challenges of radio communication from a location where Earth is always low on the lunar horizon. A large number of things have to go right for the landing to succeed — and the failures of other recent lunar missions demonstrate the wide variety of ways in which things can go wrong. Sometimes the problem is software-related. In other cases, hardware is at fault. So for now the immediate question is whether Odysseus can succeed where all previous private landers have failed. If all goes well, a successful lunar landing by Odysseus would not just be the first by a private company; it would also be the first soft landing on the Moon by an American-made spacecraft after the Apollo 17 mission of 1972. 12. Why does Odysseus attract all the attention? A. Because it will conduct a manned mission. B. Because the other private landers failed. C. Because people trust the private firm. D. Because NASA funded it. 13. What does the underlined word “deposits” refer to in paragraph 2? A. The frozen liquids and gases. B. Areas rich with promise. C. Water and rocket fuels. D. Some of the craters. 14. What does NASA expect this lander to do? A. To standardize the landing procedures. B. To find an alternative navigational route. C. To establish a base station for radio communication. D. To explore the possibility of using Moon for radio astronomy. 15. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Since 1972, no American spacecrafts have landed on the moon. B. Private companies are more powerful than national ones. C. Previous landing failures are all related to software. D. Odysseus’s landing on the moon is impossible. 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。 In the age of artificial intelligence (AI), the need for critical thinking among humans has become important. ___16___ This is where critical thinking steps in, helping humans stay ahead in an increasingly automated (自动化的) world.

"I asked for a new cellphone and a laptop!” “Where are the rest of the presents?" asked my son, Blake. Money was tight, and as a single parent, I was doing the best I could. My feelings were hurt, but l didn't want to show it. I was very disappointed in their reactions to their presents. “What kind of Christmas is this?” asked Allison. I was starting to get angry now. How selfish and unappreciative could my children be? What had we done? I was on my own now, and I couldn't maintain our old lifestyle. "Okay! I want you to remember how you are acting this Christmas and the hurtful thing you have said. We will be celebrating Christmas in a whole new way next year!" I told them. The months went by quickly. I was planning our next Christmas celebration in my head a little every day and determined to teach them a lesson. I contacted agencies to find a family that desperately needed help. That's how I found the family with four children to support on low income. That next Christmas we did all the usual traditions, but as Christmas Eve drew closer, there were still no presents under the tree. Finally, my kids asked where the gifts were and I explained that we would be giving gifts to a family that truly needed them. They needed to see what it was like to need essentials such as clothing and food. We went shopping that weekend. We bought gifts for all the children and purchased everything they would need for a nice Christmas dinner and the winter. Blake and Allison didn't seem happy with the situation, but I was sure I had them thinking about their attitudes last Christmas. I had a couple of gifts hidden in my closet, but they would only get them if they were polite and respectful to this family and to me. 注意： 1.所续写短文的词数应为 150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 It was the day before Christmas Eve, the day we would deliver the food and gifts. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The drive home was quiet. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
