And each chemical offers clues to you and your activities. By analyzing them. scientists might be able to piece together a story about your recent life, a new study finds. A molecule is a group of atoms. It represents the smallest amount of some chemical. Your skin is covered in molecules picked up by everything you’ve touched. With each new thing your skin contacts, you leave behind some small share of what it’d touched earlier. Researchers at the University of California. San Diego (UCSD)recently analyzed such chemical leftovers on the phones of 39 volunteers. The study was led by biochemist Amina Bouslimani. To explore those remains, the UCSD team wiped the surface of each volunteer’s phone with a cotton swab(药棉签). The scientists also swabbed each person’s right hand. Then the researchers compared the chemicals found on each cell phone. The scientists discovered as many of the molecules as they could. They then compared these to a database of chemicals. Pieter Dorrestein. a UCSD pharmaceutical chemist, had helped set up that database a few years earlier, which contains various substances, including spices, caffeine and medicines. Traces of anywhere from hundreds to thousands of different molecules turned up on each phone. The molecules reflected what had been in the body, and what each person had handled before touching the phone. From all these molecules, Bouslimani says. “We could tell if a person is likely female, uses high-end cosmetics, dyes her hair, drinks coffee, prefers beer over wine or likes spicy food.” Police already use molecular analyses to look for traces of explosives or illegal drugs. To date, Dorrestein says. he’s never heard of police using phone remains to narrow down behavioral clues to search for a suspect. But detectives might one day use such data to track down someone who left a phone behind at a crime scene. 4. What can we conclude about the user by analyzing the leftovers on the phone? A. Personality. B. Intelligence. C. Appearance. D. Lifestyle. 5. What was the first thing needed to be done for the study? A. Comparing different chemicals. B. Hiring volunteers with cell phones. C. Building a database containing chemicals. D. Collecting the chemicals from phones. 6. What’s the author’s attitude towards the application of the research finding? A. Uninterested. B. Disappointed. C. Doubtful. D. Positive. 7. What should be the best title for the text? A. Fingers Leave Clues about You on Your Phone B. Your Phone May Be Home to Various Chemicals C. Molecules Are Used to Search for Illegal Drugs D. Cell Phones Will be Used in More Fields C Is boredom a thing of the past, like black-and-white television? And, if so, is that a good thing? Julie Robinson, a former teacher who now represents the Independent Association of Prep Schools, thinks that boredom is regarded as an enemy of today’s children, and they are losing the ability to become thoughtful and reflective (沉思的). “We should not fear boredom.” said Julie Robinson. “Boredom is valuable to children. Quiet, reflective time is just as important as purposeful activity,” she added. Her opinion is that constant (连续不断的) activity for a child, often the result of the dreams of parents, will lead to concerned and worrying adult. The traditional ideas that children should be constantly active could prevent the development of their imagination. So anything that improves a greater thoughtfulness is to be warmly welcomed. Parents now feel a sense of failure when they hear their children complain about being bored. They seek an electronic devices (设备) to play games at once. And we didn’t feel bored during long car journeys anymore by the impatient “Are we there yet?” because all kinds of electronic devices have been taken along to avoid even a minute of boredom. So what chance do children have to allow their thoughts to wander? But it’s not just children who need lessons in reflection. Adults need that, too. On my train journey to work this morning, I couldn’t see a single person who wasn’t using an electronic device. No one was simply looking out of the window at the beautiful views of the county side. Not time for quiet thinking, even in the quiet library. There were emails to send, texts to read, and games to play. The wider world, seemingly, didn’t exist. The mobile phone has changed many things about our lives, and has developed an inability — among adults as well as children — to live in the present. What Julie Robinson regards is a cross-generational phenomenon: the fear of “inactivity”. And she is right. 8. Julie Robinson thinks boredom is useful because it makes children_________. A find effective solutions to social problems B. improve the ability to learn knowledge C. have time to think and have their imagination developed D. communicate more with their parents and friends 9. Which of the following is seen as “inactivity” according to the last paragraph? A. Sending emails on a train. B. Playing games with friends. C. Planning constant activity for children. D. Looking out of the window at the beautiful views. 10 The author mentioned the train journey to show that_________. A. the trip on a quiet train was very boring B. the view of the countryside was beautiful C. people had too much work to do D. electronic devices influence people’s life greatly 11. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? A. Both adults and children like to stay alone and recall their past days. B. People fail to leave their children enough time to think and imagine. C. Electronic devices are always good for both children and adults. D. Parents should tell their children how to use a mobile phone. D This year, people around the world are lining up to buy electric vehicles even as prices increase. Electric vehicle, EV, demand has stayed strong even as the average cost of lithiumion (锂离子) battery cells increased to an estimated $160 per kilowatt-hour in the first quarter from $105 last year. Costs rose due to supply issues, restrictions on Russian metals and investor speculation (投机). For a smaller vehicle like the Hongguang Mini, the best-selling EV in China, the higher battery costs added almost $1,500, equal to 30 percent of the listed price. But gasoline and diesel fuel costs have also increased since the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, and experts noted that environmental concerns are also pushing more buyers to choose EVs. Manufacturers from Tesla to SAIC-GM-Wuling, which makes the Hongguang Mini, have passed higher costs on to consumers with price increases for EVs. More may be coming. Andy Palmer, chairman of Slovak EV battery maker InoBat, said, “rising costs will have to be passed onto carmakers.” But EV shoppers have so far not slowed down. Worldwide EV sales in the first quarter jumped nearly 120 percent, said the website EV-volumes.com. Venkat Srinivasan is director of the Center for Collaborative Energy Storage Science at the U.S. government’s Argonne National Laboratory in Chicago. He said, “more and more people would buy EVs despite the cost of the battery and the vehicle.” This increase in battery costs could be an unusual short-term change in a situation in which improving technology and growing production have pushed costs down for almost 30 years. Industry data showed that the $105 per kilowatt hour average cost in 2021 was down nearly 99 percent from over $7,500 in 1991. Experts say battery costs could stay high for the next year or so, but then another large drop is likely as big investments by automakers and suppliers change the balance from shortage to surplus. “It’s like a bubble (泡沫) and for that bubble to settle down, it’s going to be at least the end of 2023,” said Prabhakar Patil, a former LG Chem executive. The industry has long been awaiting the battery cell cost of $100 per kilowatt-hour, as a signal EVs were reaching a similar cost to fossil-fuel vehicles. But with gasoline prices high and consumer preferences changing, such cost considerations may no longer matter as much, experts say. 12. Why does the author mention Hongguang Mini? A. To present a fact. B. To give an example. C. To introduce a topic. D. To make an assumption. 13. What will possibly lead to the drop in battery costs in the future? A. More EV shops. B. Production growth. C. Sufficient supplies. D. Technology improvement. 14. What does the author think of the prospect of EVs? A. Promising. B. Unclear. C. Doubtful. D. Confusing. 15. What can be inferred from the text? A. At present demands for EVs beat supply. B. People concern price more when buying cars. C. EVs sell much better than fossil-fuel vehicles. D. People prefer EV mainly because of conflict. 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。 Handmade Card from Me to You When I was 9 years old, I received my first handmade card from a classmate, who had just moved to New Jersey.

It was just two days away. Birthdays were always a lot of fun, even though there was no money for store-bought gifts. Nearly all the toys he and his sister had were homemade. There was nothing wrong with that, he knew. Like many families in this part, they were poor. This birthday would be different, though. Alice was older now, and he'd seen how her eyes lit up when she saw the new doll at Honey House, a neighborhood store just down the road from their house. How he longed for her to have it! An idea finally came to him just before he went to bed. After a quick breakfast the following morning, he placed a tin can and a piece of string in a large bag. Then he tied the bag to the handlebars of his bike and headed toward a village hill. After a long journey, he reached his destination, the mango forest. There were already two other boys there. Tony grabbed his bag and set to work immediately. The smaller trees had already been picked over pretty well, but he was able to find a half-dozen mangoes before noon. When the sun was high overhead, the hard work began. Nearly all of the taller trees held ripe mangoes, but they were well beyond reach. The other boys took their fruit and went away. Tony used his pocketknife to cut a long piece of bamboo. Then he took the tin can from the bag, tied it to one end of the bamboo stick, and walked over to the base of the mango tree. He stayed there, holding the tin can high up into the tree. His efforts were occasionally rewarded when a mango dropped into the can. After a while his neck ached from looking upward, and his arms grew sore. He kept at it, though, and by late afternoon his bag was nearly full. 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。 On the way back to town, Tony began to worry that the other boys might already have sold or traded their mangoes with Honey House. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The following morning, Alice walked into the kitchen and took a seat at the breakfast table. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力答案：1-5 ACCAC 6-10 CBCBB 11-15 ABAAB 16-20 CCBAB 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2023-2024 学年度第一学期期末学业水平考试 高二英语 注意事项: 1. 本试卷考试时间为 120 分钟, 试卷 150 分, 考试形式为闭卷。 2. 本试卷中所有试题必须作答在答题卡上规定的位置, 否则不给分。 3. 答题前, 务必将自己的学校、班级、姓名、座号用0. 5毫米黑色墨水签字笔填写在答题卡上。 第一部分听力（共两节, 满分20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纸上。 第一节（共5小题; 每小题1分, 满分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。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.

And each chemical offers clues to you and your activities. By analyzing them. scientists might be able to piece together a story about your recent life, a new study finds. A molecule is a group of atoms. It represents the smallest amount of some chemical. Your skin is covered in molecules picked up by everything you’ve touched. With each new thing your skin contacts, you leave behind some small share of what it’d touched earlier. Researchers at the University of California. San Diego (UCSD)recently analyzed such chemical leftovers on the phones of 39 volunteers. The study was led by biochemist Amina Bouslimani. To explore those remains, the UCSD team wiped the surface of each volunteer’s phone with a cotton swab(药棉签). The scientists also swabbed each person’s right hand. Then the researchers compared the chemicals found on each cell phone. The scientists discovered as many of the molecules as they could. They then compared these to a database of chemicals. Pieter Dorrestein. a UCSD pharmaceutical chemist, had helped set up that database a few years earlier, which contains various substances, including spices, caffeine and medicines. Traces of anywhere from hundreds to thousands of different molecules turned up on each phone. The molecules reflected what had been in the body, and what each person had handled before touching the phone. From all these molecules, Bouslimani says. “We could tell if a person is likely female, uses high-end cosmetics, dyes her hair, drinks coffee, prefers beer over wine or likes spicy food.” Police already use molecular analyses to look for traces of explosives or illegal drugs. To date, Dorrestein says. he’s never heard of police using phone remains to narrow down behavioral clues to search for a suspect. But detectives might one day use such data to track down someone who left a phone behind at a crime scene. 4. What can we conclude about the user by analyzing the leftovers on the phone? A. Personality. B. Intelligence. C. Appearance. D. Lifestyle. 5. What was the first thing needed to be done for the study? A. Comparing different chemicals. B. Hiring volunteers with cell phones. C. Building a database containing chemicals. D. Collecting the chemicals from phones. 6. What’s the author’s attitude towards the application of the research finding? A. Uninterested. B. Disappointed. C. Doubtful. D. Positive. 7. What should be the best title for the text? A. Fingers Leave Clues about You on Your Phone B. Your Phone May Be Home to Various Chemicals C. Molecules Are Used to Search for Illegal Drugs D. Cell Phones Will be Used in More Fields 【答案】4. D 5. C 6. D 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述了通过研究手机上留下微量的化学物质，我们可以得出用户的生活方式，手指在手机上留下关于你的线索。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Every time your fingers touch your cell phone, they leave behind traces of chemicals. And each chemical offers clues to you and your activities. By analyzing them. scientists might be able to piece together a story about your recent life, a new study finds.”（每次你的手指触摸手机，都会留下微量的化学物质。每种化学物质都为你和你的活动提供线索。一项新的研究发现，通过分析它们，科学家们可能能够拼凑出一个关于你最近生活的故事。）可推知，通过研究手机上的残留物，我们可以得出用户的生活方式。故选D项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“The scientists discovered as many of the molecules as they could. They then compared these to a database of chemicals. Pieter Dorrestein, a UCSD pharmaceutical chemist, had helped set up that database a few years earlier. which contains various substances. including spices. caffeine and medicines.”（科学家们发现了尽可能多的分子。然后，他们将这些数据与化学物质数据库进行了比较。加州大学圣地亚哥分校的药物化学家Pieter Dorrestein在几年前帮助建立了这个数据库，其中包含各种物质，包括香料、咖啡因和药物。）可推知，研究人员要做的第一件事是建立包含化学物质的数据库。故选C项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Police already use molecular analyses to look for traces of explosives or illegal drugs. To date, Dorrestein says, he’s never heard of police using phone residues to narrow down behavioral clues to search for a suspect. But detectives might one day use such data to track down someone who left a phone behind at a crime scene.”（警方已经使用分子分析来寻找爆炸物或非法毒品的痕迹。Dorrestein说，到目前为止，他从未听说过警察利用手机残留物来缩小搜索嫌疑人的行为线索。但侦探可能有一天会使用这些数据来追踪在犯罪现场留下手机的人。）可推知，作者对于研究发现的应用持积极的态度。故选D项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及第一段“Every time your fingers touch your cell phone, they leave behind traces of chemicals. And each chemical offers clues to you and your activities. By analyzing them, scientists might be able to piece together a story about your recent life, a new study finds.”（每次你的手指触摸手机，都会留下微量的化学物质。每种化学物质都为你和你的活动提供线索。一项新的研究发现，通过分析它们，科学家们可能能够拼凑出一个关于你最近生活的故事。）可知，文章主要讲的是通过研究手机上的残留物，我们可以得到用户的一些信息。故文章最好的标题是“手指在手机上留下关于你的线索”。故选A项。 C Is boredom a thing of the past, like black-and-white television? And, if so, is that a good thing? Julie Robinson, a former teacher who now represents the Independent Association of Prep Schools, thinks that boredom is regarded as an enemy of today’s children, and they are losing the ability to become thoughtful and reflective (沉思的). “We should not fear boredom.” said Julie Robinson. “Boredom is valuable to children. Quiet, reflective time is just as important as purposeful activity,” she added. Her opinion is that constant (连续不断的) activity for a child, often the result of the dreams of parents, will lead to concerned and worrying adult. The traditional ideas that children should be constantly active could prevent the development of their imagination. So anything that improves a greater thoughtfulness is to be warmly welcomed. Parents now feel a sense of failure when they hear their children complain about being bored. They seek an electronic devices (设备) to play games at once. And we didn’t feel bored during long car journeys anymore by the impatient “Are we there yet?” because all kinds of electronic devices have been taken along to avoid even a minute of boredom. So what chance do children have to allow their thoughts to wander? But it’s not just children who need lessons in reflection. Adults need that, too. On my train journey to work this morning, I couldn’t see a single person who wasn’t using an electronic device. No one was simply looking out of the window at the beautiful views of the county side. Not time for quiet thinking, even in the quiet library. There were emails to send, texts to read, and games to play. The wider world, seemingly, didn’t exist. The mobile phone has changed many things about our lives, and has developed an inability — among adults as well as children — to live in the present. What Julie Robinson regards is a cross-generational phenomenon: the fear of “inactivity”. And she is right. 8. Julie Robinson thinks boredom is useful because it makes children_________. A. find effective solutions to social problems B. improve the ability to learn knowledge C. have time to think and have their imagination developed D. communicate more with their parents and friends 9. Which of the following is seen as “inactivity” according to the last paragraph? A Sending emails on a train. B. Playing games with friends. C. Planning constant activity for children. D. Looking out of the window at the beautiful views. 10. The author mentioned the train journey to show that_________. A. the trip on a quiet train was very boring B. the view of the countryside was beautiful C. people had too much work to do D. electronic devices influence people’s life greatly 11. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? A. Both adults and children like to stay alone and recall their past days. B. People fail to leave their children enough time to think and imagine. C. Electronic devices are always good for both children and adults. D. Parents should tell their children how to use a mobile phone. 【答案】8 C 9. D 10. D 11. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了现在人们都使用手机等电子产品来避免无聊，而作者认为无聊的存在是有其意义的——可以让孩子们在无聊中对一些问题进行思考。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中Julie Robinson说的话“Boredom is valuable to children. Quiet, reflective time is just as important as purposeful activity,(无聊对孩子来说是有价值的。安静、沉思的时间和有目的的活动一样重要)”和第三段中“The traditional ideas that children should be constantly active could prevent the development of their imagination. So anything that improves a greater thoughtfulness is to be warmly welcomed.(传统观念认为孩子应该不断活跃，这会阻碍他们想象力的发展。因此，任何能够提高更深思熟虑的事情都会受到热烈欢迎。)”可知，Julie Robinson认为无聊是有用的，因为它能让孩子们有时间思考，且发展他们的想象力。故选C。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“On my train journey to work this morning, I couldn’t see a single person who wasn’t using an electronic device. No one was simply looking out of the window at the beautiful views of the county side. Not time for quiet thinking, even in the quiet library. There were emails to send, texts to read, and games to play. The wider world, seemingly, didn’t exist. The mobile phone has changed many things about our lives, and has developed an inability — among adults as well as children — to live in the present. What Julie Robinson regards is a cross-generational phenomenon (现象): the fear of “inactivity”. (今天早上在去上班的火车上，我看不到一个人不使用电子设备。没有人只是简单地向窗外看县城的美景。没有时间安静的思考，即使在安静的图书馆。有邮件要发，有短信要读，有游戏要玩。更广阔的世界，似乎并不存在。手机已经改变了我们生活中的许多事情，并且已经使成年人和儿童都无法生活在当下。朱莉·罗宾逊认为这是一个跨代现象：对“不活跃”的恐惧。)”可知，“不活跃”现象指的是人们安静的这种状态，即上文提到的无聊现象，如今人们害怕无聊，所以会经常看手机，或者不间断的做一些打发无聊的事情。由此可推知，D项“望着窗外美丽的景色”被认为是一种“不活跃”现象。故选D。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“On my train journey to work this morning, I couldn’t see a single person who wasn’t using an electronic device.

Quiet, reflective time is just as important as purposeful activity,(无聊对孩子来说是有价值的。安静、沉思的时间和有目的的活动一样重要)”和第四段中“Parents now feel a sense of failure when they hear their children complain about being bored. They seek an electronic devices (设备) to play games at once. And we didn’t feel bored during long car journeys anymore by the impatient “Are we there yet?” because all kinds of electronic devices have been taken along to avoid even a minute of boredom. (现在，当父母听到孩子抱怨无聊时，他们会感到一种失败感。他们寻找一种可以立即玩游戏的电子设备。在长途汽车旅行中，我们再也不会因为不耐烦地问“我们到了吗？”而感到无聊，因为各种各样的电子设备已经随身携带，以避免哪怕是一分钟的无聊。)”可知，人们没有给他们的孩子足够的时间去思考和想象。故选B。 D This year, people around the world are lining up to buy electric vehicles even as prices increase. Electric vehicle, EV, demand has stayed strong even as the average cost of lithiumion (锂离子) battery cells increased to an estimated $160 per kilowatt-hour in the first quarter from $105 last year. Costs rose due to supply issues, restrictions on Russian metals and investor speculation (投机). For a smaller vehicle like the Hongguang Mini, the best-selling EV in China, the higher battery costs added almost $1,500, equal to 30 percent of the listed price. But gasoline and diesel fuel costs have also increased since the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, and experts noted that environmental concerns are also pushing more buyers to choose EVs. Manufacturers from Tesla to SAIC-GM-Wuling, which makes the Hongguang Mini, have passed higher costs on to consumers with price increases for EVs. More may be coming. Andy Palmer, chairman of Slovak EV battery maker InoBat, said, “rising costs will have to be passed onto carmakers.” But EV shoppers have so far not slowed down. Worldwide EV sales in the first quarter jumped nearly 120 percent, said the website EV-volumes.com. Venkat Srinivasan is director of the Center for Collaborative Energy Storage Science at the U.S. government’s Argonne National Laboratory in Chicago. He said, “more and more people would buy EVs despite the cost of the battery and the vehicle.” This increase in battery costs could be an unusual short-term change in a situation in which improving technology and growing production have pushed costs down for almost 30 years. Industry data showed that the $105 per kilowatt hour average cost in 2021 was down nearly 99 percent from over $7,500 in 1991. Experts say battery costs could stay high for the next year or so, but then another large drop is likely as big investments by automakers and suppliers change the balance from shortage to surplus. “It’s like a bubble (泡沫) and for that bubble to settle down, it’s going to be at least the end of 2023,” said Prabhakar Patil, a former LG Chem executive. The industry has long been awaiting the battery cell cost of $100 per kilowatt-hour, as a signal EVs were reaching a similar cost to fossil-fuel vehicles. But with gasoline prices high and consumer preferences changing, such cost considerations may no longer matter as much, experts say. 12. Why does the author mention Hongguang Mini? A. To present a fact. B. To give an example. C. To introduce a topic. D. To make an assumption. 13. What will possibly lead to the drop in battery costs in the future? A. More EV shops. B. Production growth. C. Sufficient supplies. D. Technology improvement. 14. What does the author think of the prospect of EVs? A. Promising. B. Unclear. C. Doubtful. D. Confusing. 15. What can be inferred from the text? A. At present demands for EVs beat supply. B. People concern price more when buying cars. C. EVs sell much better than fossil-fuel vehicles. D. People prefer EV mainly because of conflict. 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. B 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇说明文。讲述的是由于俄罗斯和乌克兰冲突以及环保问题，汽油和柴油的价格有所上涨，越来越多人选择电动汽车。随着电动汽车电池成本的增加，电动汽车的价格也是水涨船高，即便如此，世界各地的人们仍在排队购买。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“For a smaller vehicle like the Hongguang Mini, the best-selling EV in China, the higher battery costs added almost $1,500, equal to 30 percent of the listed price. ”（对于中国最畅销的电动汽车——红光Mini这样的小型汽车来说，更高的电池成本增加了近1500美元，相当于标价的30%。）可知，此处是承接文章第一段中的“Electric vehicle, EV, demand has stayed strong even as the average cost of lithiumion(锂离子)battery cells increased to an estimated $160 per kilowatt-hour in the first quarter from $105 last year. ”（尽管第一季度锂离子电池的平均成本从去年的105美元/千瓦时上升到160美元/千瓦时，电动汽车的需求仍然强劲。）中的客观事实，故文中第二段提到the Hongguang Mini是举例子来说明锂离子电子电池成本上升的事实。故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“Experts say battery costs could stay high for the next year or so, but then another large drop is likely as big investments by automakers and suppliers change the balance from shortage to surplus. ”（专家表示，电池成本可能在未来一年左右保持在高位，但随后可能会出现另一次大幅下降，因为汽车制造商和供应商的大笔投资将电池从短缺转为过剩。）可知，在未来导致电池成本价格降低的原因是汽车制造商和供应商的大笔投资将电池从短缺转为过剩。故选C。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“ But with gasoline prices high and consumer preferences changing, such cost considerations may no longer matter as much, experts say.”（但专家说，随着汽油价格高企和消费者偏好的改变，这种成本考虑可能不再那么重要。）可知，这是专家的观点，作者在文中并未提及未来电动汽车的前景，关于电动汽车的论述都是以客观的态度来陈述。故选B。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“This year, people around the world are lining up to buy electric vehicles even as prices increase. ”（今年，尽管电动汽车价格上涨，但世界各地的人们仍在排队购买。）以及倒数第二段中“but then another large drop is likely as big investments by automakers and suppliers change the balance from shortage to surplus.”（但随着汽车制造商和供应商的大笔投资将供需平衡从短缺转为过剩，可能会出现另一次大幅下降。）可知，当下对电动汽车的供需是短缺状态。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。 Handmade Card from Me to You When I was 9 years old, I received my first handmade card from a classmate, who had just moved to New Jersey.

Finally, a well-known saying is used to end my article, which I think is a perfect highlight of the passage. In a word, with the merits mentioned above, I wonder why I got such a low score. If it is convenient for you, please give me an explanation. Yours sincerely, Li Hua Possible version 2: Dear Ryan, I am Li Hua from Grade 2, a participant in the last continuation writing competition.

It was just two days away. Birthdays were always a lot of fun, even though there was no money for store-bought gifts. Nearly all the toys he and his sister had were homemade. There was nothing wrong with that, he knew. Like many families in this part, they were poor. This birthday would be different, though. Alice was older now, and he'd seen how her eyes lit up when she saw the new doll at Honey House, a neighborhood store just down the road from their house. How he longed for her to have it! An idea finally came to him just before he went to bed. After a quick breakfast the following morning, he placed a tin can and a piece of string in a large bag. Then he tied the bag to the handlebars of his bike and headed toward a village hill. After a long journey, he reached his destination, the mango forest. There were already two other boys there. Tony grabbed his bag and set to work immediately. The smaller trees had already been picked over pretty well, but he was able to find a half-dozen mangoes before noon. When the sun was high overhead, the hard work began. Nearly all of the taller trees held ripe mangoes, but they were well beyond reach. The other boys took their fruit and went away. Tony used his pocketknife to cut a long piece of bamboo. Then he took the tin can from the bag, tied it to one end of the bamboo stick, and walked over to the base of the mango tree. He stayed there, holding the tin can high up into the tree. His efforts were occasionally rewarded when a mango dropped into the can. After a while his neck ached from looking upward, and his arms grew sore. He kept at it, though, and by late afternoon his bag was nearly full. 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。 On the way back to town, Tony began to worry that the other boys might already have sold or traded their mangoes with Honey House. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The following morning, Alice walked into the kitchen and took a seat at the breakfast table. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 On the way back to town, Tony began to worry that the other boys might already have sold or traded their mangoes with Honey House. When finally reaching Honey House, Tony just rushed in, out of breath. The owner of the store looked at him with a curious look. On hearing Tony's explanation, the owner opened the bag to check the mangoes. To Tony's disappointment, they're not enough to exchange a lovely doll. He walked out with tears rolling down his face when he met the other boys carrying bags of mangoes. Knowing Tony's situation, they decided to gather all their mangoes to give his sister a dream present. The following morning, Alice walked into the kitchen and took a seat at the breakfast table. When subconsciously reaching out for a glass cup, she found a card saying “Look at the sofa.” Then she surprisingly saw the doll she had been dreaming of for a long time. When Tony said “Happy birthday,” Alice couldn't help crying and hugged him tightly. Touched by the warm atmosphere, their parents smiled with pleasure, knowing their son had grown up and reliable enough to take care of his sister.
