It was founded 20 years ago by a British couple, Susan and Mike Defino, in Australia. After its success in Australia, they thought the idea would work well in the UK, too. Within five years of its opening in the UK, Camp Alison expanded to ten different sites within London. Day camps are organized throughout the summer and are open to children and teenagers between 6 and 16. The camps are hosted at schools and colleges that would normally be closed in the summer. This allows Camp Alison to have its day camp on sites that have excellent grounds and equipment, particularly for sports. All the sites have sports halls and indoor swimming pools if it is too wet or cold for the organized outdoor activities. Camps have their own directors who plan everything and have a lot of experience. All camps are regularly inspected.

These are the best second-hand stores in the capital of Thailand. Dasa Book Cafe Those who love reading in Bangkok will be delighted to learn that Dasa Book Cafe offers nearly every storytelling type, including horror, comedy and drama. There are more than 16,000 titles in the shop, so spend some time getting lost in piles of used books. It also sells a wide variety of collectable used CDs. Talad Rod Fai Train Night Market This market is known as the first train market in Bangkok. While it is no longer near a train station because it moved to a different place, it keeps the name and remains home to some of the best used items in town. You can spend hours choosing goods and clothes. It is so popular that another one opened in the Ratchada area. Classic Movie Poster From the outside, this narrow shop might not look like much, but to those who are familiar with it, it is a goldmine of classic movie posters. It is an impressive collection, ranging from unknown Thai movies from the late 1950s to recent blockbusters (非常成功的电影). Papaya Design Studio This antique store looks more like a museum than a conventional furniture store. It is full of items ranging from Victorian-era pieces to bright classics in the 1960s. The owner travels to Europe several times a year to find more items, meaning you will discover something new every time you visit. 21. Which is the best choice if you want to buy some second-hand CDs? A. Dasa Book Cafe. B. Classic Movie Poster. C. Papaya Design Studio. D. Talad Rod Fai Train Night Market. 22. What do we know about Talad Rod Fai Train Night Market? A. It is near a train station. B. It has a branch in another area. C. It features food and books. D. It is the first night market in Bangkok. 23. What can you find in Papaya Design Studio? A. Clothes. B. Books. C. Old furniture. D. Classic movies. 【答案】21. A 22. B 23.

(它还出售各种可收藏的二手 CD。)”可知，如果你想买一些二手CD，Dasa Book Cafe是最好的选择，故选A。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据Talad Rod Fai Train Night Market部分中的“It is so popular that another one opened in the Ratchada area. (这家店非常受欢迎，以至于在拉差达地区又开了一家。)”可知， Talad Rod Fai Train Night Market这家店在另一个地区有一个分店，故选B。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据Papaya Design Studio部分中的“This antique store looks more like a museum than a conventional furniture store. It is full of items ranging from Victorian-era pieces to bright classics in the 1960s. (这家古董店看起来更像一家博物馆，而不是一家传统的家具店。店里摆满了各种物品，从维多利亚时代的家具到 20 世纪 60 年代的经典家具。)”可知，可以在Papaya Design Studio这家店找到旧家具。故选C。 B Just off Orlando’s busy International Drive sit popular tourist attractions such as Universal Orlando Resort and Disney World. One community that quietly sits in the shadows of these tourist attractions is Tangelo Park. In the past, this community had very few services or transit options (交通选项) for residents. The community struggled with many social problems that one resident explained were so bad that “you couldn’t even walk to the store because you were afraid of being robbed at any time”. Education in Tangelo Park struggled as well; only a few students could graduate from the high school. Rosen grew up in a poor family in Tangelo Park as his parents moved there. He didn’t see anything wrong with how he, his family, and his friends lived until a tourist remarked, “So this is how they live for the rest of their lives.” He was so embarrassed that he was determined to change his fate. He received a bachelor’s degree from Cornell University and went on to have a successful career working for Disney, and he decided to give back to his community. Community leaders met with Rosen in 1993 to discuss a possible solution to these growing issues in Tangelo Park. In just an hour, with money guaranteed by Rosen, the leaders came up with the idea of developing the Tangelo Park Program (TPP). The program offers free preschool for every Tangelo Park 2-to-4-year-old. As well, TPP gives free college tuition and living expenses for every Tangelo Park high school graduate who is accepted to a college. In the 29 years that TPP has been active, the Tangelo Park community has experienced exceptional improvement. Donna Wilcox, a Harris Rosen Scholarship recipient, earned a bachelor’s degree from UCF using her full-ride (全额奖学金). “When people have the resources to go and succeed because of TPP, they can really influence others,” she says. “No one in my family ever went to college before, but now, my baby sister can’t even picture a life without college. My mother even went back and got her degree. I showed her that she could do it.” 24. What do we know about Tangelo Park in the past? A. It had a high crime rate. B. It had few high schools. C. It attracted many visitors every year. D. It boasted convenient transport services. 25. What made Rosen decide to change his life? A. He got an offer from Disney. B. He received a bachelor’s degree. C. He was looked down upon by a visitor. D. Disney offered to help his community. 26. What contributions did Rosen make to Tangelo Park? A. He taught preschool children lessons. B. He provided financial aid for TPP. C. He bought some facilities for students. D. He advocated providing free education. 27. What can we learn from Donna Wilcox’s words? A. TPP has bridged the education gap. B. TPP has been well-received recently. C. TPP set up different levels of education. D. TPP has had a good effect on her family. 【答案】24. A 25. C 26. B 27. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了Rosen如何通过设立Tangelo Park Program（TPP）改变了他的家乡Tangelo Park的教育状况和社区环境。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“The community struggled with many social problems that one resident explained were so bad that “you couldn’t even walk to the store because you were afraid of being robbed at any time”.(这个社区面临着许多社会问题，一位居民解释说，这些问题非常严重，“你甚至不敢走路去商店，因为你害怕随时被抢劫”)”可知，坦吉洛公园的犯罪率很高。故选A。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“He didn’t see anything wrong with how he, his family, and his friends lived until a tourist remarked, “So this is how they live for the rest of their lives.” He was so embarrassed that he was determined to change his fate.(他不觉得自己、家人和朋友的生活方式有什么不对，直到一位游客说：‘原来他们就是这样度过余生的。’他感到非常尴尬，决心改变自己的命运)”可知，被一位游客者瞧不起让罗森决定改变他的生活。故选C。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“In just an hour, with money guaranteed by Rosen, the leaders came up with the idea of developing the Tangelo Park Program (TPP). The program offers free preschool for every Tangelo Park 2-to-4-year-old. As well, TPP gives free college tuition and living expenses for every Tangelo Park high school graduate who is accepted to a college.(有了Rosen的资金保证，在短短一个小时内，领导人就提出了发展“坦吉洛公园计划”（TPP）的想法。该项目为所有坦吉洛公园2至4岁的孩子提供免费的学前教育。此外，TPP还为每一位被大学录取的坦吉洛公园高中毕业生提供免费的大学学费和生活费)”可知，罗森为TPP提供了财政援助。故选B。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“No one in my family ever went to college before, but now, my baby sister can’t even picture a life without college. My mother even went back and got her degree. I showed her that she could do it.(我们家以前没有人上过大学，但现在，我的小妹妹甚至无法想象没有大学的生活。我母亲甚至回去拿到了学位。我让她知道她可以做到)”可知，TPP对唐娜·威尔科克斯的家庭有很好的影响。故选D。 C The Yellow River is the cradle of China’s civilization. And flood control and prevention have always been key to the well-being of the people living along it. Now, scientists can better work on these issues by giving the river a digital twin. The digital twin of the Yellow River uses various technologies, including big data, artificial intelligence, and the internet of things. Devices set up along the river collect and transmit information to the command center. Based on the information, a 3D model of the river is presented on the computer screen. It’s like the Yellow River has a twin that reflects its real conditions. One big breakthrough in the river’s digital governance is “smart stones”. According to Wang Qin, a lead researcher at the Information Center of Yellow River Henan Bureau, a smart stone is a water-proof stone-shaped device with chips, a battery, and a signal transmitter. They are buried in important dike (堤坝) locations to record and report the movement of dike stones. “Upon feeling movement of the dike stones, the smart stone sends an alarm to the command center for quick response,” Wang said. “In the past, researchers had to learn the conditions of the dike on the spot by themselves, putting their lives at risk,” said Zhao Xiaoxiong from the bureau. “Now the smart stones can do this for us, more safely, quickly, and accurately.” And in the sky, drones are flying. On the routes designed by engineers, the drones become expert patrollers (巡逻员) of the river, looking at its dikes and flood prevention projects. According to Shen Lin from the Yellow River Conservancy Commission, thanks to the drones, researchers at the command center can get first-hand photos and information. “Researchers then update the 3D model according to the changes the drones reported. The newly updated model helps us test our floodwater release plans in case we ever need to batten down the hatches,” said Shen. Under the water and up in the sky, intelligent systems are helping to protect the Yellow River Basin on all fronts. According to the Ministry of Water Resources, in the future, we can expect to see the construction of an even more comprehensive digital system for this important river. 28. What is the main purpose of creating a digital twin of the Yellow River? A. To conduct historical research. B. To create a virtual tourist attraction. C. To raise public awareness of river protection. D. To improve flood control and prevention efforts. 29. How do the smart stones contribute to the river’s digital governance? A. They record water quality. B. They enhance the river’s beauty. C. They monitor and report dike movements. D. They serve as markers for important locations. 30. What is one of the functions of drones in the digital governance of the Yellow River? A. Entertaining tourists. B. Giving warning of coming floods. C. Patrolling and taking wildlife photos. D. Collecting information on dike conditions. 31. What does the underlined phrase “batten down the hatches” in the second to last paragraph probably mean? A. Foresee the future. B. Prepare for difficult times. C. Bring about new challenges. D. Work hard to achieve one’s goals. 【答案】28. D 29. C 30. D 31. B 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了科学家们现在可以通过给黄河建立数字孪生体来更好地来处理防洪和预防的问题。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“And flood control and prevention have always been key to the well-being of the people living along it. Now, scientists can better work on these issues by giving the river a digital twin. (洪水的控制和预防一直是生活在这条河上的人们幸福生活的关键。现在，科学家们可以通过给河流一个数字双胞胎来更好地解决这些问题。)”可知，创建黄河数字孪生体的主要目的是提高防洪和预防工作。故选D。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段中“According to Wang Qin, a lead researcher at the Information Center of Yellow River Henan Bureau, a smart stone is a water-proof stone-shaped device with chips, a battery, and a signal transmitter. They are buried in important dike (堤坝) locations to record and report the movement of dike stones.“Upon feeling movement of the dike stones, the smart stone sends an alarm to the command center for quick response,” Wang said.(据黄河河南局信息中心首席研究员王勤介绍，“智慧石”是一种防水的石头状装置，内装有芯片、电池和信号发射器，埋设在重要堤坝位置，记录并上报堤坝石块的移动情况。“一旦感知到堤坝石块的移动，智慧石就会向指挥中心发出警报，指挥中心会迅速做出反应。”王勤说​​。)”可知，智能石头在黄河数字治理中的作用是收集堤防状况信息。故选C。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“And in the sky, drones (无人机) are flying. On the routes designed by engineers, the drones become expert patrollers (巡逻员) of the river, looking at its dikes and flood prevention projects. According to Shen Lin from the Yellow River Conservancy Commission, thanks to the drones, researchers at the command center can get first-hand photos and information. (在天空中，无人机正在飞行。在工程师设计的路线上，无人机成为河流的专业巡逻者，看着它的堤防和防洪工程。据黄河水利委员会的沈林介绍，多亏了无人机，指挥中心的研究人员可以获得第一手的照片和信息。)”可知，无人机在黄河数字治理中的作用之一是收集有关堤坝状况的信息。故选D。 【31题详解】 词句猜测题。根据画线短语上文“Researchers then update the 3D model according to the changes the drones reported(然后，研究人员根据无人机报告的变化更新3D模型)”和画线短语所在句子“The newly updated model helps us test our floodwater release plans in case we ever need to batten down the hatches(新更新的模型可帮助我们测试洪水泄洪计划，以防我们需要batten down the hatches)”可推知，研究人员根据无人机报告的变化更新3D模型，新更新的模型可帮助我们测试洪水泄洪计划，这样做的目的是以防洪水严重时做好泄洪准备，由此可推知，画线短语与B项“为困难时期做好准备”意思相近，故选B。 D Compared to other big cats that prefer to be alone, lions are very social and live in groups. Researchers from the University of Minnesota find male lions typically team up into groups of two or more in order to gather resources like territories, food, and mates. These groups are called coalitions (联盟). “Our previous research shows that males that cooperate and form coalitions live better in reproductive fitness by being able to hold territories for longer than single males,” the study lead author said. Holding territories for longer periods of time allows them to mate more often than single males, which means they have more offspring (后代). Researchers wanted to find out if cooperation was more likely to happen among related male lions. In addition to monitoring lions, they collected blood tissue, and hair samples to see if the male lions were connected. But the analysis was really a hard nut for researchers because the lions had experienced two population bottlenecks. These were events that caused extreme drops in a group’s population. They can be caused by habitat destruction, environmental disasters, hunting to the point of near-extinction, or other drastic occurrences. When something like this happens, the animals that remain have a very low level of genetic diversity because there are so few animals left. Researchers were trying to use records of mothers, children, and siblings to create a baseline panel (基准小组). Then they compared male coalition partners to those records in order to understand how they were related to each other. The researchers observed 23 male lions who belonged to 10 coalitions. They found those who were part of large coalition s of more than two members were typically brothers and cousins. But more than 70% of those that traveled in pairs were unrelated. Sharing and cooperation are harder in larger groups because the resources have to be divided among a larger number of lions. Although these larger groups are more successful overall, lions live better individually in smaller coalitions. Researchers also found that related males were no more likely to have each other’s backs when fighting enemies than unrelated males. This shows that the kin (亲属) relationship is not the only reason why males cooperate with each other, but the kin support makes the cooperation even more beneficial. 32. What helps the growth of a lion coalition’s population most according to the previous research? A. Owning stable territories. B. Close monitoring of lions. C. Abundant food resources. D. Cooperation with other groups. 33. What made the researchers’study difficult to carry out? A. The technological bottlenecks. B. The seriousness of habitat destruction. C. The possible danger of collecting samples. D. The limited genetic samples of male lions. 34. What can be concluded from the study? A. Lions are successful in smaller coalitions. B. Smaller coalitions are often on the move. C. Larger coalitions help smaller ones with food. D. Lions of larger coalitions are usually relatives. 35. What may be the best title for the text? A. The Cooperation Among Male Lions B. The Reproduction of the Lion Population C. The Competition Between Lion Coalitions D. The Relationship Between Lion Coalitions 【答案】32. A 33. D 34. D 35. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述研究人员对狮群的研究是想弄清楚雄狮之间的合作否是建立在关系的关联上，而研究结果表明，亲属关系不是雄性之间相互合作的唯一原因，而亲属支持使得合作更加有益。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Holding territories for longer periods of time allows them to mate more often than single males, which means they have more offspring(长时间占据领地使得它们比雄性的交配频率更高，这意味着它们有更多的后代)”可知，领地的稳定性保证了它们可以延续更多的后代。故选A。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“But the analysis was really a hard nut for researchers because the lions had experienced two population bottlenecks. These were events that caused extreme drops in a group’s population. They can be caused by habitat destruction, environmental disasters, hunting to the point of near-extinction, or other drastic occurrences. When something like this happens, the animals that remain have a very low level of genetic diversity because there are so few animals left.(但对研究人员来说，分析确实是一项艰巨的任务，因为狮子经历了两个种群瓶颈。这些事件会导致一个群体的人口急剧下降。它们可能是由栖息地破坏、环境灾难、狩猎到濒临灭绝或其他剧烈事件引起的。当这样的事情发生时，留下来的动物的遗传多样性水平非常低，因为剩下的动物太少了)”可知，对于研究人员而言，有限的基因样本让研究人员的研究难以进行。故选D。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“The researchers observed 23 male lions who belonged to 10 coalitions. They found those who were part of large coalitions of more than two members were typically brothers and cousins. But more than 70% of those that traveled in pairs were unrelated.(研究人员观察了属于10个联盟的123头雄狮。他们发现，那些由两个以上成员组成的大型联盟的成员通常是兄弟和表亲。但是超过70% 的成对旅行的狮子是不相关的)”可知，大型联盟的狮子成员之间通常是兄弟和表亲，所以它们之间是有亲属关系关联的。故选D。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“Researchers wanted to find out if cooperation was more Jikely to happen among related male lions.(研究人员想要弄清楚是否相关的雄狮之间更容易合作)”以及最后一段“Sharing and cooperation are harder in larger groups because the resources have to be divided among a larger number of lions. Although these larger groups are more successful overall, lions live better individually in smaller coalitions. Researchers also found that related males were no more likely to have each other’s backs when fighting enemies than unrelated males. This shows that the kin (亲属) relationship is not the only reason why males cooperate with each other, but the kin support makes the cooperation even more beneficial.(在更大的狮群中，分享和合作更加困难，因为资源必须分配给更多的狮子。虽然这些较大的群体总体上更成功，狮子生活在较小的联盟更好的个人。研究人员还发现，与不相关的雄性相比，有血缘关系的雄性在与敌人战斗时并不更愿意相互支持。这表明，亲属关系不是男性之间相互合作的唯一原因，而亲属支持使得合作更加有益)”可知，研究人员对狮群的研究是想弄清楚雄狮之间的合作否是建立在关系的关联上，而研究结果表明，亲属关系不是雄性之间相互合作的唯一原因，而亲属支持使得合作更加有益。所以本文的标题可以为“雄性之间的合作”，故选A。 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 boost your confidence as an introvert (内向的人) As we all know, many introverts struggle with confidence issues. ____36____.

The sooner you love who you are, the sooner your confidence will develop. ____38____ Part of building confidence is how you convey your thoughts, feelings, and ideas to others. Not everyone will understand the way you express yourself, and that is okay. What is important is that you put in your best effort to express your ideas. If you need help shaping your own ideas, getting your thoughts on paper is a great way to do that. Take small steps Brainstorm the small things you can do to build your confidence and feel better about yourself. For instance, you could try to change your vocabulary for a more positive, confident mindset. Or you can start journaling more to get to feel more comfortable and confident about yourself. ____39____. Remember that you are your own worst critic ____40____. This is a common problem that many people must face and it is important to remember you are not alone. Constantly criticising yourself for making small errors or not showing enough confidence is the easiest way to lose it. If you want to build your confidence level, you need to learn how to forgive yourself for making mistakes and stop self-criticising. A. Practice clear communication B. Instead, accept who you are as an introvert C. Replace positive self-talk with self-criticism D. That is why clear communication is crucial for introverts E. As a result, they are held back from various opportunities F. You judge yourself the hardest because you expect more out of yourself G. Just remember: you can’t expect to turn into a confident person overnight 【答案】36. E 37. B 38. A 39. G 40.

It shifts from the Western-styled “dragon” to the more culturally specific “Loong”, for example, Loong Year and Loong Dance. There are many factors contributing to this trend, the most important of which is the popularity of Chinese. China is already a global economic power and its influence is growing. Using “Loong” instead of “dragon” helps to represent its cultural icons and avoid misunderstandings. Moreover, the use of “Loong” is a creative way to preserve and promote cultural heritage. It allows us to share the beauty and depth of Chinese culture with the world. From my perspective, this shift is not just a linguistic one; it reflects a deeper understanding and appreciation of Chinese culture. Let us join hands and promote Chinese culture onto the global stage. 【解析】 【导语】本篇书面表达属于应用文。要求考生针对龙的英文翻译的变化向校英文报写一篇英语短文投稿。 【详解】1.词汇积累 变化：shift→change/transform/vary 例如：for example→for instance/to illustrate 重要的：important→crucial/significant 2.句式拓展 简单句变复合句 原句：Moreover, the use of “Loong” is a creative way to preserve and promote cultural heritage. 拓展句：Moreover, the use of “Loong” is a creative way that preserves and promotes cultural heritage. 【点睛】【高分句型1】There are many factors contributing to this trend, the most important of which is the popularity of Chinese. (运用了which引导的非限制性定语从句。) 【高分句型2】Using “Loong” instead of “dragon” helps to represent its cultural icons and avoid misunderstandings.

He stretched his stiff (僵硬的) body and went back to his room. His brother Jerry was still asleep. It was Saturday and there was no school. Jack’s mother asked him to run some errands (差事) for her. On his way out, he glanced at his motorcycle which was parked at the side of the house. There was no hiding the broken front lamp and the dent (凹痕) and scratches (划痕) on the side. Jack readied himself and went to complete his errands. It was late morning before Jack was free to carry out his plan. He marched down the road to Mr. Brown’s house. When he arrived and called out the usual greeting, Mrs. Brown appeared at the doorway and greeted him warmly. She invited him in and served him tea and some cakes. Jack nervously asked to speak to Mr. Brown. She told him that her husband was out but would be home very soon. Sure enough, the elderly man returned in ten minutes. Jack cleared his throat a few times while his host waited patiently. Finally, he let out that he had come to make an apology. “I’m so sorry. I was careless yesterday and knocked into your parked car in front of the post office,” Jack said. Mr. Brown looked at the 17-year-old, surprised. “So, you are saying that you are the one who dented my car and then ran away?” Jack went red. He nodded. “I’m sorry for not telling you earlier. I was too frightened.” The elderly man smiled and said, “But you’re not too frightened to confess (坦白) now?” Jack said, “I could not sleep last night thinking about it. I knew I had to do the right thing.” 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 Mr. Brown was silent for a minute. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Jack now looked curiously at the elderly man, “Will my brother be arrested?” ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Mr. Brown was silent for a minute. Then he said in a kind voice, “You think that it is the right thing to cover up for your brother?” Jack went pale. “I.…I.…you know the truth?” he mumbled. Mr. Brown smiled, “Yes, Jerry told me himself just half an hour ago.” The elderly man explained that Jerry had met him at the cafe and told him everything, how he had ridden his brother’s motorcycle without permission and lost control of it, resulting in the minor accident that dented Mr. Brown’s new car. Jack now looked curiously at the elderly man, “Will my brother be arrested?” “Ah, I see, you are trying to protect your brother. No, I will not be reporting the accident. It’s just a small dent.” Seeing Jack’s relieved expression, he went on, “However, I hope that your brother will learn from this. As for you, remember that it is unwise to hide the truth.” Jack thanked Mr. Brown for his kindness and then went home happily. His brother’s courage in confessing everything made him happy and proud. He knew he would sleep well tonight. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了杰克误以为他的弟弟撞到别人的车没有负责，就在挣扎了一晚上之后，决定替弟弟去承担，但是车主却已经知道真相的故事。 详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“布朗先生沉默了一会儿。”可知，第一段可描写布朗先生告诉杰克他已经知道了真相，是他弟弟撞的车。 ②由第二段首句内容“杰克这时好奇地看着老人，“我弟弟会被捕吗？””可知，第二段可描写布朗先生告诉杰克自己不会将事故上报，所以他弟弟不会被捕，并告诉他隐瞒真相是不明智的。杰克感谢布朗先生的好意。 2.续写线索：沉默——告诉杰克自己知道真相——询问弟弟是否会被捕——布朗告诉杰克自己不会上报事故——感谢——为弟弟感到骄傲 3.词汇激活行为类 ①解释：explain/make an explanation ②导致：result in/lead to ③回家：go home/return home 情绪类 ①感谢某人：thank sb./show one’s gratitude to sb. ②高兴的：happy/glad 【点睛】[高分句型1] The elderly man explained that Jerry had met him at the cafe and told him everything, how he had ridden his brother’s motorcycle without permission and lost control of it, resulting in the minor accident that dented Mr. Brown’s new car.（由that和how引导的宾语从句以及现在分词作状语） [高分句型2] However, I hope that your brother will learn from this. （由that引导的宾语从句） [高分句型3] As for you, remember that it is unwise to hide the truth.（由that引导的宾语从句，it作形式主语，真正的主语是不定式） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2023—2024学年度高二年级第二学期教学质量调研(一) 英 语 试 题 注意事项： 1. 答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2. 回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上指定位置， 在其他位置作答一律无效。 3. 本试卷满分为150分，考试时间为120分钟。考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。第一部分 听力 (共两节，满分30分) 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 What does the woman mean?

These are the best second-hand stores in the capital of Thailand. Dasa Book Cafe Those who love reading in Bangkok will be delighted to learn that Dasa Book Cafe offers nearly every storytelling type, including horror, comedy and drama. There are more than 16,000 titles in the shop, so spend some time getting lost in piles of used books. It also sells a wide variety of collectable used CDs. Talad Rod Fai Train Night Market This market is known as the first train market in Bangkok. While it is no longer near a train station because it moved to a different place, it keeps the name and remains home to some of the best used items in town. You can spend hours choosing goods and clothes. It is so popular that another one opened in the Ratchada area. Classic Movie Poster From the outside, this narrow shop might not look like much, but to those who are familiar with it, it is a goldmine of classic movie posters. It is an impressive collection, ranging from unknown Thai movies from the late 1950s to recent blockbusters (非常成功的电影). Papaya Design Studio This antique store looks more like a museum than a conventional furniture store. It is full of items ranging from Victorian-era pieces to bright classics in the 1960s. The owner travels to Europe several times a year to find more items, meaning you will discover something new every time you visit. 21. Which is the best choice if you want to buy some second-hand CDs? A. Dasa Book Cafe. B. Classic Movie Poster. C. Papaya Design Studio. D. Talad Rod Fai Train Night Market. 22.

It is the first night market in Bangkok. 23. What can you find in Papaya Design Studio? A. Clothes. B. Books. C. Old furniture. D. Classic movies. B Just off Orlando’s busy International Drive sit popular tourist attractions such as Universal Orlando Resort and Disney World. One community that quietly sits in the shadows of these tourist attractions is Tangelo Park. In the past, this community had very few services or transit options (交通选项) for residents. The community struggled with many social problems that one resident explained were so bad that “you couldn’t even walk to the store because you were afraid of being robbed at any time”. Education in Tangelo Park struggled as well; only a few students could graduate from the high school. Rosen grew up in a poor family in Tangelo Park as his parents moved there. He didn’t see anything wrong with how he, his family, and his friends lived until a tourist remarked, “So this is how they live for the rest of their lives.” He was so embarrassed that he was determined to change his fate. He received a bachelor’s degree from Cornell University and went on to have a successful career working for Disney, and he decided to give back to his community. Community leaders met with Rosen in 1993 to discuss a possible solution to these growing issues in Tangelo Park. In just an hour, with money guaranteed by Rosen, the leaders came up with the idea of developing the Tangelo Park Program (TPP). The program offers free preschool for every Tangelo Park 2-to-4-year-old. As well, TPP gives free college tuition and living expenses for every Tangelo Park high school graduate who is accepted to a college. In the 29 years that TPP has been active, the Tangelo Park community has experienced exceptional improvement. Donna Wilcox, a Harris Rosen Scholarship recipient, earned a bachelor’s degree from UCF using her full-ride (全额奖学金). “When people have the resources to go and succeed because of TPP, they can really influence others,” she says. “No one in my family ever went to college before, but now, my baby sister can’t even picture a life without college.

C The Yellow River is the cradle of China’s civilization. And flood control and prevention have always been key to the well-being of the people living along it. Now, scientists can better work on these issues by giving the river a digital twin. The digital twin of the Yellow River uses various technologies, including big data, artificial intelligence, and the internet of things. Devices set up along the river collect and transmit information to the command center. Based on the information, a 3D model of the river is presented on the computer screen. It’s like the Yellow River has a twin that reflects its real conditions. One big breakthrough in the river’s digital governance is “smart stones”. According to Wang Qin, a lead researcher at the Information Center of Yellow River Henan Bureau, a smart stone is a water-proof stone-shaped device with chips, a battery, and a signal transmitter. They are buried in important dike (堤坝) locations to record and report the movement of dike stones. “Upon feeling movement of the dike stones, the smart stone sends an alarm to the command center for quick response,” Wang said. “In the past, researchers had to learn the conditions of the dike on the spot by themselves, putting their lives at risk,” said Zhao Xiaoxiong from the bureau. “Now the smart stones can do this for us, more safely, quickly, and accurately.” And in the sky, drones are flying. On the routes designed by engineers, the drones become expert patrollers (巡逻员) of the river, looking at its dikes and flood prevention projects. According to Shen Lin from the Yellow River Conservancy Commission, thanks to the drones, researchers at the command center can get first-hand photos and information. “Researchers then update the 3D model according to the changes the drones reported. The newly updated model helps us test our floodwater release plans in case we ever need to batten down the hatches,” said Shen. Under the water and up in the sky, intelligent systems are helping to protect the Yellow River Basin on all fronts. According to the Ministry of Water Resources, in the future, we can expect to see the construction of an even more comprehensive digital system for this important river. 28. What is the main purpose of creating a digital twin of the Yellow River? A. To conduct historical research. B. To create a virtual tourist attraction. C. To raise public awareness of river protection. D. To improve flood control and prevention efforts. 29. How do the smart stones contribute to the river’s digital governance? A. They record water quality. B. They enhance the river’s beauty. C. They monitor and report dike movements. D. They serve as markers for important locations. 30. What is one of the functions of drones in the digital governance of the Yellow River? A. Entertaining tourists. B. Giving warning of coming floods. C. Patrolling and taking wildlife photos. D. Collecting information on dike conditions. 31. What does the underlined phrase “batten down the hatches” in the second to last paragraph probably mean? A. Foresee the future. B. Prepare for difficult times. C. Bring about new challenges. D. Work hard to achieve one’s goals. D Compared to other big cats that prefer to be alone, lions are very social and live in groups. Researchers from the University of Minnesota find male lions typically team up into groups of two or more in order to gather resources like territories, food, and mates. These groups are called coalitions (联盟). “Our previous research shows that males that cooperate and form coalitions live better in reproductive fitness by being able to hold territories for longer than single males,” the study lead author said. Holding territories for longer periods of time allows them to mate more often than single males, which means they have more offspring (后代). Researchers wanted to find out if cooperation was more likely to happen among related male lions. In addition to monitoring lions, they collected blood tissue, and hair samples to see if the male lions were connected. But the analysis was really a hard nut for researchers because the lions had experienced two population bottlenecks. These were events that caused extreme drops in a group’s population. They can be caused by habitat destruction, environmental disasters, hunting to the point of near-extinction, or other drastic occurrences. When something like this happens, the animals that remain have a very low level of genetic diversity because there are so few animals left. Researchers were trying to use records of mothers, children, and siblings to create a baseline panel (基准小组). Then they compared male coalition partners to those records in order to understand how they were related to each other. The researchers observed 23 male lions who belonged to 10 coalitions. They found those who were part of large coalition s of more than two members were typically brothers and cousins. But more than 70% of those that traveled in pairs were unrelated. Sharing and cooperation are harder in larger groups because the resources have to be divided among a larger number of lions. Although these larger groups are more successful overall, lions live better individually in smaller coalitions. Researchers also found that related males were no more likely to have each other’s backs when fighting enemies than unrelated males. This shows that the kin (亲属) relationship is not the only reason why males cooperate with each other, but the kin support makes the cooperation even more beneficial. 32. What helps the growth of a lion coalition’s population most according to the previous research? A. Owning stable territories. B. Close monitoring of lions. C. Abundant food resources. D. Cooperation with other groups. 33. What made the researchers’study difficult to carry out? A. The technological bottlenecks. B. The seriousness of habitat destruction. C. The possible danger of collecting samples. D. The limited genetic samples of male lions. 34. What can be concluded from the study? A. Lions are successful in smaller coalitions. B. Smaller coalitions are often on the move. C. Larger coalitions help smaller ones with food. D. Lions of larger coalitions are usually relatives. 35. What may be the best title for the text? A. The Cooperation Among Male Lions B. The Reproduction of the Lion Population C. The Competition Between Lion Coalitions D. The Relationship Between Lion Coalitions 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 boost your confidence as an introvert (内向的人) As we all know, many introverts struggle with confidence issues. ____36____.

He had not slept a wink but had sat on the balcony all night thinking. He stretched his stiff (僵硬的) body and went back to his room. His brother Jerry was still asleep. It was Saturday and there was no school. Jack’s mother asked him to run some errands (差事) for her. On his way out, he glanced at his motorcycle which was parked at the side of the house. There was no hiding the broken front lamp and the dent (凹痕) and scratches (划痕) on the side. Jack readied himself and went to complete his errands. It was late morning before Jack was free to carry out his plan. He marched down the road to Mr. Brown’s house. When he arrived and called out the usual greeting, Mrs. Brown appeared at the doorway and greeted him warmly. She invited him in and served him tea and some cakes. Jack nervously asked to speak to Mr. Brown. She told him that her husband was out but would be home very soon. Sure enough, the elderly man returned in ten minutes. Jack cleared his throat a few times while his host waited patiently. Finally, he let out that he had come to make an apology. “I’m so sorry. I was careless yesterday and knocked into your parked car in front of the post office,” Jack said. Mr. Brown looked at the 17-year-old surprised. “So, you are saying that you are the one who dented my car and then ran away?” Jack went red. He nodded. “I’m sorry for not telling you earlier. I was too frightened.” The elderly man smiled and said, “But you’re not too frightened to confess (坦白) now?” Jack said, “I could not sleep last night thinking about it. I knew I had to do the right thing.” 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 Mr. Brown was silent for a minute. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Jack now looked curiously at the elderly man, “Will my brother be arrested?” ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
