On Earth Day, look through four noteworthy green buildings from around the world. One Central Park (Sydney, Australia) A park at the foot of the building literally continues up the structure, as vegetation of 250 species of Australian plants and flowers cover One Central Park. An architectural website says it has 25% less energy consumption compared with a conventional building of its size. Shanghai Tower (Shanghai, China) Shanghai Tower has a transparent second skin wrapped around the building which creates a zone of captured air that serves as natural ventilation (通风), reducing energy costs. Besides, 270 wind devices incorporated into the right side power its outside lights. Marco Polo Tower (Hamburg, Germany) Each floor of Marco Polo Tower is turned a few degrees away from the one below, around an axis (轴线). This allows for recessed (嵌入式) buildings that protect residents from direct sun. This tower also includes many other green features. There is a heat exchanger on the roof that turns warm air into a cooling system. And the natural ventilation can make residents sleep soundly without being disrupted by outside noise. Torre Reforma (Mexico City, Mexico) Torre Reforma rises to 807 feet and stands tall on energy-saving measures, too. The tower’s slimness maximizes the amount of natural light let in, which in turn cuts down on the need for electric lights. And when the weather permits, controls can automatically open windows to let air in. 1. What do we know about One Central Park? A. It makes full use of solar energy. B. It uses a great cooling system. C. It has many plants and flowers. D. It has self-control windows. 2. What do the Shanghai Tower and Marco Polo Tower have in common? A. They are naturally ventilated. B. They are both transparent. C. They generate electricity by wind. D. They harvest energy from sunshine. 3. Where can the text be found? A. In science fiction. B. In an architectural magazine. C. In an autobiography. D. In a weather report. 【答案】1. C 2. A 3. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。主要介绍了来自世界各地的四座引人注目的绿色建筑。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“A park at the foot of the building literally continues up the structure, as vegetation of 250 species of Australian plants and flowers cover One Central Park.(这座建筑的脚下实际上是一个公园，它向上延伸到建筑结构上，250种澳大利亚植物和花卉的植被覆盖了中央公园一号)”可知，One Central Park有许多植物和花卉。故选C项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Shanghai Tower has a transparent second skin wrapped around the building which creates a zone of captured air that serves as natural ventilation (通风), reducing energy costs.(上海中心大厦有一个透明的第二层表皮包裹在建筑周围，形成一个被捕获的空气区域，作为自然通风，降低能源成本)”以及第四段“And the natural ventilation can make residents sleep soundly without being disrupted by outside noise.(并且自然通风可以让居民睡得很香，不会受到外界噪音的干扰)”可知，上海中心大厦和马可波罗塔的共同点是它们都有自然通风系统。故选A项。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Nowadays, more and more emphasis is being placed on a building’s “green” certification. On Earth Day, look through four noteworthy green buildings from around the world.(如今，人们越来越重视建筑的“绿色”认证。在地球日，我们将参观来自世界各地的四座引人注目的绿色建筑)”可知，本文主要介绍了来自世界各地的四座引人注目的绿色建筑，推测文章可能出自一本建筑杂志上。故选B项。 B My son asked my husband and me several months ago if he could switch from his mainstream high school to an alternative education environment. At that time, I was unsure and a little heartbroken. He wasn’t doing well in that school. In my head, I knew the best thing for him was to switch to another learning environment to complete his high school year. But my heart broke a little that he would not walk the same graduation field and stage that I had walked. The scenario I had created was no longer beneficial to his well-being. My son is extremely shy and has always had a small friend group. Large groups are complex for him, and he was very upset at a school with over 2,500 kids as a child with social anxiety. A school of that size can be difficult for anyone, let alone an introvert (内向的人) with social anxiety. We discovered that the continuation school was an option with the same general curriculum required by our state to graduate high school. The credits he had already earned would carry over, and he could graduate early. After talking, we decided that this was his best option. By allowing him to choose this option, we have watched him thrive! The difference is astonishing. My son made friends; he was productive and participated in a life skills course to help himself with real-life studies. He got along well with his teachers and classmates. The most significant change we saw was that he would come home smiling and happy, enthusiastic about his day. He was excited to share what he was learning and how his day had gone, which warmed my heart. As his momma, this is all I needed — knowing that letting him choose what was suitable for his educational path was the right move. 4. How did the author feel on her son’s request at first? A. Proud. B. Puzzled. C. Disappointed. D. Embarrassed. 5. What was the problem of the author’s son? A. He had no friends. B. He didn’t really like learning. C. He was the slowest student in his class. D. He was poor at communicating with others. 6. What did the family realize after learning about the continuation school? A. It was a very satisfying option for them. B. A mainstream high school was much better. C. An alternative education was not advisable. D. The son might have difficulty in graduating. 7. The underlined word “scenario” could be best replaced by _____. A. plot B. history C. novel D. rule 【答案】4. C 5. D 6. A 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者在面对儿子要求转学到一个继续教育环境时的内心挣扎、思考过程以及最终的决定，还有儿子在新环境下所展现出的积极变化。通过个人故事，文章探讨了教育选择对孩子幸福感和成长的重要性，展现了家庭教育决策中的爱与理解。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第一段“My son asked my husband and me several months ago if he could switch from his mainstream high school to an alternative education environment. At that time, I was unsure and a little heartbroken. (几个月前，我儿子问我和我丈夫，他是否可以从主流高中转到另一种教育环境。那时候，我很不确定，还有点心碎。)”可知，作者最初对儿子的要求感到不确定和有点心碎，因此是感到失望的。故选C。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第三段“My son is extremely shy and has always had a small friend group. Large groups are complex for him, and he was very upset at a school with over 2,500 kids as a child with social anxiety. A school of that size can be difficult for anyone, let alone an introvert (内向的人) with social anxiety. (我儿子非常害羞，他的朋友圈子很小。对他来说，大的群体是复杂的，他在一所有2500多名学生的学校里感到非常不安，因为他小时候患有社交焦虑症。这种规模的学校对任何人来说都很难，更不用说有社交焦虑的内向者了。)”可知，作者的儿子非常害羞，朋友少，且有社交焦虑，在人多的环境中会感到不安，所以他与他人沟通存在问题。故选D。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第四段中的“After talking, we decided that this was his best option. (经过讨论，我们认为这是他最好的选择。)”以及第五段中“By allowing him to choose this option, we have watched him thrive! The difference is astonishing. My son made friends; he was productive and participated in a life skills course to help himself with real-life studies. He got along well with his teachers and classmates. (通过允许他选择这个选项，我们看到了他的成长！差异是惊人的。我儿子交了朋友；他学习效率很高，参加了一个生活技能课程，以帮助自己在现实生活中学习。他与老师和同学相处得很好。)”可知，在了解了继续教育学校之后，他们认为这是非常令人满意的选项。故选A。 【7题详解】 词句猜测题。由第二段中的“He wasn’t doing well in that school. In my head, I knew the best thing for him was to switch to another learning environment to complete his high school year. But my heart broke a little that he would not walk the same graduation field and stage that I had walked. (他在那所学校表现不好。在我的脑海里，我知道对他来说最好的事情是换一个学习环境完成他的高中学业。但我的心有点碎，因为他不会走在我走过的毕业场地和舞台上。)”和“The scenario I had created was no longer beneficial to his well-being.(我所创造的scenario不再有利于他的幸福)”可知，作者所创造的场景不再有利于儿子的幸福。scenario在这里指的是作者原先设想儿子会和她一样有高中毕业的情景，后来发现这个情景不再有益于他的福祉。因此，scenario最贴近“情节、剧本”的意思。A. plot情节；B. history历史；C. novel小说；D. rule规则。故选A。 C For many Americans, home is where the heart is. However, some people are forced to leave their homes because of rising costs. “Hawaii is everything. Of course, it’s very beautiful. The weather is beautiful, but you only get a deeper connection to a place when it’s connected to you,” said Lehua Kalima, who grew up and raised her kids in Hawaii. Nearly three years ago, Kalima and her husband left the Hawaiian islands for Clark County, Nevada. According to United Van Lines, the US’s largest household goods mover, Clark County has about 20,000 native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders. The Kalimas represent some of the 7 million Americans who move to a different state every year. “You know, we were already working really hard to make ends meet, but with three college tuitions now to pay, it was almost impossible,” Kalima said. United Van Lines has long tracked state-to-state migration, as well as the main reasons that people move. In 2018, nearly half of the people surveyed said they moved due to changes in employment. Four years later, a third of respondents said employment was the reason they moved. A rising number said they wanted to be close to family, and 8% stated a reason that three years earlier wasn’t even on the survey — the improved cost of living. “If you have roots in a place, you have a relationship with a place, with a piece of land, only then can you really understand what it’s like to have to go away from it,” Kalima said. Despite missing her home, Kalima looks at the other side of things. “The things we do in life don’t necessarily keep us in one place. Sometimes they take us to all kinds of different places, but that’s necessary because, you know, that’ll take us to where we’re eventually supposed to be,”Kalima said. 8. What was the Kalimas’ life like before moving to Nevada? A. They almost had nowhere to live. B. They lived beyond their means. C. Kalima and her husband lost their jobs. D. Kalima’s children failed to get into college. 9. How does the writer illustrate the reasons for people moving to other states? A. By contrast. B. By connection. C. By examples. D. By diagrams. 10. What feeling did Kalima express in paragraph 6? A. Her worries about her life in Nevada. B. Her pain of being away from home. C. Her fear of being misunderstood by others. D. Her dissatisfaction with new social relationships. 11. What is Kalima’s attitude to life? A. Doubtful. B. Passive. C. Grateful. D. Positive. 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是新闻报道。在美国，由于生活费用的上涨，越来越多的人被迫离开家乡去其它州谋生。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段““You know, we were already working really hard to make ends meet, but with three college tuitions now to pay, it was almost impossible,” Kalima said. (“你知道，我们已经非常努力地工作以维持收支平衡，但现在要支付三所大学的学费，这几乎是不可能的，”Kalima说。)”可知，Kalima说她家经济困难，入不敷出。beyond one’s means“入不敷出”。故选B。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段““You know, we were already working really hard to make ends meet, but with three college tuitions now to pay, it was almost impossible,” Kalima said. (“你知道，我们已经非常努力地工作以维持收支平衡，但现在要支付三所大学的学费，这几乎是不可能的，”Kalima说。)”和第五段“United Van Lines has long tracked state-to-state migration, as well as the main reasons that people move. In 2018, nearly half of the people surveyed said they moved due to changes in employment. Four years later, a third of respondents said employment was the reason they moved. A rising number said they wanted to be close to family, and 8% stated a reason that three years earlier wasn’t even on the survey — the improved cost of living. (联合货运公司长期以来一直在追踪州与州之间的移民情况，以及人们迁移的主要原因。2018年，近一半的受访者表示，他们是因为就业变化而搬家的。四年后，三分之一的受访者表示，就业是他们搬家的原因。越来越多的人说他们想和家人住得更近，8%的人说他们的原因是生活成本的提高，而三年前的调查甚至没有考虑到这一点。)”可知，文中通过举例Lehua Kalima和她的家人离开夏威夷搬到内华达州克拉克县的故事，以及引用了United Van Lines的调查数据和受访者关于搬家原因的陈述（如就业变化、接近家人、生活成本改善等），来说明人们迁移的原因。这些例子直接体现了不同家庭和个人搬迁的各种动机，因此作者是通过具体例子来阐述这一主题的。故选C。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第六段““If you have roots in a place, you have a relationship with a place, with a piece of land, only then can you really understand what it’s like to have to go away from it,” Kalima said. (Kalima说：“如果你在一个地方扎了根，你和一个地方、一块土地有了关系，只有这样你才能真正理解不得不离开的感觉。”)”可知，Kalima说只有和一个地方有深厚情感的人，才能真正理解不得不离开它的感觉，表达了她不得不远离家乡的痛苦心情。故选B。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Despite missing her home, Kalima looks at the other side of things. (尽管想念她的家，但Kalima看到了事情的另一面)”和最后一段““The things we do in life don’t necessarily keep us in one place. Sometimes they take us to all kinds of different places, but that’s necessary because, you know, that’ll take us to where we’re eventually supposed to be,”Kalima said. (“我们在生活中所做的事情不一定会让我们停留在一个地方。有时它们带我们去各种不同的地方，但这是必要的，因为，你知道，这将把我们带到我们最终应该去的地方，”Kalima说。)”可知，Kalima尽管思念家乡，但她认为，生活中的一些变化导致我们去不同的地方，这是必要的，因为它们会带我们去我们最终该去的地方，由此推断，Kalima对生活抱着积极的态度。故选D。 D While stress is an unavoidable aspect of life, studies continue to show too much stress can have a bad impact on both health and well-being. More specifically, excess stress can lead to high blood pressure, increasing heart disease risk. With all that in mind, researchers from the Universities of Maynooth and Limerick set out to better understand how reactions to stressful events impact our future health, as well as if there are any factors that can play key stress-buffering (缓解压力) roles. The research team suggests that previous research has shown that gratitude and affect-balance (balance of positive to negative emotions) play key stress-buffering roles. However, up until now there have been few studies examining the impact of these variables on cardiovascular (心血管) recovery from severe psychological stress. Researchers chose to focus on this consideration, as well as whether or not affect-balance moderates the relationship between gratitude and cardiovascular reactions to severe psychological stress. The actual research portion of this project took place at Maynooth University and involved a total of 68 undergrad students (24 men, 44 women) between the ages of 18 and 57. The experiment featured lab tasks which caused stress among the participants, while researchers measured cardiovascular reactivity and recovery in response to the stress. The ensuing results reveal that a state of gratitude predicts lower systolic (收缩的) blood pressure responses throughout the stress-testing period. This means, researchers say, that gratitude promotes a unique stress-buffering effect on both reactions to and recovery from severe psychological stress. The team also found that affect-balance increases the effects of grateful feelings. In conclusion, researchers believe these findings hold clinical (临床的) usefulness. There are many low-cost ways to develop grateful feelings that can help promote improved well-being. For instance, one earlier study found cardiac patients who make use of gratitude journals have better cardiovascular outcomes than those who do not. Those earlier projects, in combination with these latest findings, strongly suggest that gratitude is a useful tool in the fight against stress and poor cardiovascular health. 12. What may high blood pressure result in according to paragraph 1? A. A headache. B. A sleep disorder. C. Heart disease. D. Difficult breathing. 13. How might the participants feel about the lab tasks? A. Moved. B. Thankful. C. Disappointed. D. Anxious. 14. Why does the author give the example in the last paragraph? A. To show gratitude is easy to practice. B. To suggest we should learn more ways to relieve stress. C. To explain why the findings are meaningful. D. To show hospitals should use more treatment ways. 15. What can be the best title for the text? A. We Should Deal with Stress Wisely B. We Should Realize the Harm of Excess Stress C Excess Stress Can Cause High Blood Pressure D. Gratitude Can Help Relieve Stress to Improve Heart Health 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了感恩可以帮助缓解压力，从而改善心脏健康的研究。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“More specifically, excess stress can lead to high blood pressure, increasing heart disease risk.”（更具体地说，过度的压力会导致高血压，增加患心脏病的风险。）可知，高血压可能导致心脏病。故选C。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“The experiment featured lab tasks which caused stress among the participants, while researchers measured cardiovascular reactivity and recovery in response to the stress.”（该实验的特点是实验室任务会给参与者带来压力，而研究人员则测量了他们在压力下的心血管反应和恢复情况。）可以推断，参与者对实验室的任务可能感到焦虑。故选D。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“There are many low-cost ways to develop grateful feelings that can help promote improved well-being. For instance, one earlier study found cardiac patients who make use of gratitude journals have better cardiovascular outcomes than those who do not.”（有许多低成本的方法可以培养感恩的感觉，有助于提高幸福感。例如，一项较早的研究发现，使用感恩日记的心脏病患者比不使用感恩日记的心脏病患者有更好的心血管预后。）可知，作者在最后一段给出了这个例子是要说明表达感恩之情很容易实践。故选A项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Those earlier projects, in combination with these latest findings, strongly suggest that gratitude is a useful tool in the fight against stress and poor cardiovascular health.”（那些早期的项目，结合这些最新的发现，强烈地表明感恩是对抗压力和心血管健康不良的有用工具。）可知，短文主要讲述了感恩可以帮助缓解压力，从而改善心脏健康的研究。故标题为“感恩可以帮助缓解压力，改善心脏健康”切题。故选D项。 第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Earlier, fashion used to be something that was shown in a shopping center. ____16____ The fashion industry has had to evolve in different ways to deal with these changes, and here, model Victoria Lee Robinson walks us through these changes. Firstly, people want to connect with their favourite fashion brands much more than they did in the past. ____17____ Brands need to connect with potential buyers to show them their new styles and designs and take part in pop culture to remain relevant, “Maintaining the image of a brand through digital campaigns is no easy task,” said Robinson. In addition, fashion designers and brands are able to monitor interests in their new designs in real time by using social media. ____18____ However, sometimes it can also be discouraging. “You could spend hundreds of hours designing a fashion line, but it could get canceled just like that if it doesn’t get enough attention online. It must be scary,” commented Robinson. Lastly, since most people are buying their clothing online, brands need to properly show the quality and sizes of their clothing. No one wants to buy an expensive dress online only to find issues with quality or fitting and then go over the tiring process of a return or refund (退款). Robinson said, “____19____” ____20____ However, with lots of research into social media, it’s more than possible to build a new fashion brand and stand out. A. The Internet will change the fashion industry. B. Now, many people buy most of their clothes online. C. Keeping up with the fashion industry can be difficult. D. People love to share pictures and opinions on social media. E. This allows them to adapt their offerings to suit the customers’ needs. F. It’s important to adapt to changes and accurately represent your brand in the digital world. G. They follow these companies on social media and make their own posts about the clothing. 【答案】16. B 17. G 18. E 19. F 20. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是模特维多利亚·李·罗宾逊带领我们经历时装业经历的一些变化。 【16题详解】 根据空前的“Earlier, fashion used to be something that was shown in a shopping center.(早些时候，时尚是在购物中心展示的东西。)”可知，过去时尚是在购物中心展出的东西，结合空后的“The fashion industry has had to evolve in different ways to deal with these changes, and here, model Victoria Lee Robinson walks us through these changes.(时装业不得不以不同的方式发展以应对这些变化，在这里，模特维多利亚·李·罗宾逊将带领我们经历这些变化。)”可知，时尚界正在以不同的方式发展应对这些变化，由此可知，此空处讲述的是现在时尚界的状况，B选项“Now, many people buy most of their clothes online.(现在，很多人都在网上买衣服。)”可知，现在人们在网上购买衣服，对应空前的内容，且与空后的内容衔接。故选B项。 【17题详解】 根据空前的“Firstly, people want to connect with their favourite fashion brands much more than they did in the past.(首先，人们比过去更想与他们最喜欢的时尚品牌建立联系。)”可知，现在人们希望与最喜欢的品牌建立联系，此处为本段的主题句，G选项“They follow these companies on social media and make their own posts about the clothing.(他们在社交媒体上关注这些公司，并就这些服装发布自己的帖子。)”中的they与空前的people一致，且“follow these companies”与空前的“to connect with their favourite fashion brands”吻合，与本段的主题句内容一致。故选G项。 【18题详解】 根据空前的“In addition, fashion designers and brands are able to monitor interests in their new designs in real time by using social media.(此外，时尚设计师和品牌可以通过社交媒体实时监控人们对他们新设计的兴趣。)”可知，现在时尚设计师与品牌通过社交媒体了解人们对新设计的兴趣，结合空后的“However, sometimes it can also be discouraging.(然而，有时它也会令人沮丧。)”可知，此空讲述的内容应与时尚界的做法相关，E选项“This allows them to adapt their offerings to suit the customers’ needs.(这使他们能够调整他们的产品以适应客户的需求。)”中的this指代的是空前时尚界通过社交媒体了解人们对新设计的兴趣，them指的内容与空前的“fashion designers and brands”，且与空后的内容为转折关系，符合逻辑。故选E项。 【19题详解】 根据本段的主题句“Lastly, since most people are buying their clothing online, brands need to properly show the quality and sizes of their clothing.(最后，由于大多数人都在网上购买衣服，品牌需要适当地展示他们衣服的质量和尺寸。)”可知，由于人们都喜欢网购，所以品牌需要适当展示他们服装的质量和尺寸，结合下文中的“No one wants to buy an expensive dress online only to find issues with quality or fitting and then go over the tiring process of a return or refund (退款).(没有人愿意在网上买了一件昂贵的衣服，却发现质量或合身有问题，然后经历退货或退款的繁琐过程。)”可知，没有人喜欢网购发现质量或者大小有问题而去经历退货或退款的过程，结合此空是Robinson对此情况的总结可知，此处应进一步阐述时尚界要适应网购衣物的重要性，F选项“It’s important to adapt to changes and accurately represent your brand in the digital world.(重要的是要适应变化，在数字世界中准确地展示你的品牌。)”讲述的内容与本段的主题句内容一致，对本段讲述的内容进行总结，符合语境。故选F项。 【20题详解】 根据空后的“However, with lots of research into social media, it’s more than possible to build a new fashion brand and stand out.(然而，通过对社交媒体的大量研究，建立一个新的时尚品牌并脱颖而出是很有可能的。)”可知，此处与空前内容为转折关系，此处表示的是建立新的时尚品牌并脱颖而出是很有可能的，由此可判断，此空讲述的内容应与此相对应，C选项“Keeping up with the fashion industry can be difficult.(跟上时尚行业的步伐可能很困难。)”讲述的是跟上时尚界的步伐有困难，与空后的“it’s more than possible to build a new fashion brand and stand out(建立一个新的时尚品牌并脱颖而出是很有可能的)”为转折关系，符合逻辑。故选C项。 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Seventh-graders Conner Doss and Kane Daugherty were riding to school on the school bus one morning when the driver ____21____ pulled over to the side of the road.

We had a week to plan and carry out our strategy, and everyone wanted to play a meaningful part. On the first day of our planning week, our team leader, Emily, brought us together to discuss our roles. She assigned different tasks to each team member based on our strengths and interests. I was assigned the role of connecting with local businesses for fundraising, a task I felt confident in completing. As the week progressed, we worked tirelessly. One afternoon, while we were creating promotional (宣传的) materials, Jacob, one of our teammates, came to us with a tired look on his face. He explained that he had been feeling unwell for the past few days and was worried about falling behind on his tasks. Worried about Jacob’s well-being, we encouraged him to take some time off and rest and told him that we would support him in any way we could. Jacob finally agreed, understanding that he needed to take care of himself. With Jacob absent, we realized that his tasks, including creating promotional materials, were left unfinished. We knew that if we didn’t step in to help, our campaign would fail. To solve this problem, we came together as a team and thought of ways to support Jacob and keep our campaign on track. Sarah, with her artistic skills, volunteered to take over the design of the promotional materials, while Mark offered to help with the content creation. Emily, our team leader, stepped in to manage the whole team, making sure that everything stayed organized and on schedule. We tried our best to make our campaign successful. 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。 Late into the night, we came together in Sarah’s living room. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The following day, when Jacob returned to our team, he was surprised at the progress we had made in his absence ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Late into the night, we came together in Sarah's living room. The room was filled with creativity and love, Sarah worked on the design, while Mark and I worked together to create interesting messages to attract our audience. As the hours passed, we shared stories, laughed, and supported each other through the creative work. The late–night tiredness was outweighed by the friendship we felt as a team, joined by our shared goals of making a difference and helping Jacob. The following day, when Jacob returned to our team, he was surprised at the progress we had made in his absence. Jacob’s eyes welled up with emotion as he realized how much we had done for him. With renewed energy, we continued working together, putting the finishing touches on our campaign. On the day of the event, our team stood side by side, enjoying the fruits of our great efforts. The fundraising went beyond our expectations, allowing us to make a great difference to the cause we cared about deeply. Looking back on our journey, we realized that the strength of a team lies not only in individual ability but also in the readiness to support and help one another. 【解析】 【导语】文章以组织筹款活动展开，讲述了在筹款活动期间，作者和小组成员都分配了不同的任务。但Jacob突然生病了，不能完成自己的任务。作者和成员主动分工承担Jacob负责的这部分，筹备工作有条不紊地进行着。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①根据第一段首句“深夜，我们一起来到Sarah家的客厅”可知，下文可描写他们聚在一起将Jacob负责的任务完成。 ②根据第二段首句“第二天，当雅各布回到我们的团队时，他对我们在他不在的情况下取得的进步感到惊讶”可知，下文可描写Jacob对大家的感谢，加入团队继续工作，以及他们的感悟。 2.续写线索：聚到Sarah家——一起努力——完成Jacob的那份工作——Jacob回归惊讶于大家的进步——Jacob表示感谢——加入团队继续和大家努力——活动取得成功——感悟 3.词类激活 行为类 ①充满：be full of/be filled with ②继续：continue/proceed/carry on ③帮助：help/assist 情绪类 ①疲惫：tiredness/exhaustion ②愿意：readiness/willingness 【点睛】【高分句型1】 As the hours passed, we shared stories, laughed, and supported each other through the creative work.（运用了as引导的时间状语从句） 【高分句型2】Jacob’s eyes welled up with emotion as he realized how much we had done for him. （运用了as引导的原因状语从句和how much引导的宾语从句） 听力1—5 CBABC 6—10 ABCAA 11—15 BCCAB 16—20 ACBCB 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 马鞍山二中2024届高三年级高考适应性考试 英语试题 (本试卷总分150分，考试时间120分钟) 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2B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。写在本试卷上无效。 3.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(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。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.

On Earth Day, look through four noteworthy green buildings from around the world. One Central Park (Sydney, Australia) A park at the foot of the building literally continues up the structure, as vegetation of 250 species of Australian plants and flowers cover One Central Park. An architectural website says it has 25% less energy consumption compared with a conventional building of its size. Shanghai Tower (Shanghai, China) Shanghai Tower has a transparent second skin wrapped around the building which creates a zone of captured air that serves as natural ventilation (通风), reducing energy costs. Besides, 270 wind devices incorporated into the right side power its outside lights. Marco Polo Tower (Hamburg, Germany) Each floor of Marco Polo Tower is turned a few degrees away from the one below, around an axis (轴线). This allows for recessed (嵌入式) buildings that protect residents from direct sun. This tower also includes many other green features. There is a heat exchanger on the roof that turns warm air into a cooling system. And the natural ventilation can make residents sleep soundly without being disrupted by outside noise. Torre Reforma (Mexico City, Mexico) Torre Reforma rises to 807 feet and stands tall on energy-saving measures, too. The tower’s slimness maximizes the amount of natural light let in, which in turn cuts down on the need for electric lights. And when the weather permits, controls can automatically open windows to let air in. 1. What do we know about One Central Park? A. It makes full use of solar energy. B. It uses a great cooling system. C. It has many plants and flowers. D. It has self-control windows. 2. What do the Shanghai Tower and Marco Polo Tower have in common? A. They are naturally ventilated. B. They are both transparent. C. They generate electricity by wind. D. They harvest energy from sunshine. 3. Where can the text be found? A. In science fiction. B. In an architectural magazine. C. In an autobiography. D. In a weather report. B My son asked my husband and me several months ago if he could switch from his mainstream high school to an alternative education environment. At that time, I was unsure and a little heartbroken. He wasn’t doing well in that school. In my head, I knew the best thing for him was to switch to another learning environment to complete his high school year. But my heart broke a little that he would not walk the same graduation field and stage that I had walked. The scenario I had created was no longer beneficial to his well-being. My son is extremely shy and has always had a small friend group. Large groups are complex for him, and he was very upset at a school with over 2,500 kids as a child with social anxiety. A school of that size can be difficult for anyone, let alone an introvert (内向的人) with social anxiety. We discovered that the continuation school was an option with the same general curriculum required by our state to graduate high school. The credits he had already earned would carry over, and he could graduate early. After talking, we decided that this was his best option. By allowing him to choose this option, we have watched him thrive! The difference is astonishing. My son made friends; he was productive and participated in a life skills course to help himself with real-life studies. He got along well with his teachers and classmates. The most significant change we saw was that he would come home smiling and happy, enthusiastic about his day. He was excited to share what he was learning and how his day had gone, which warmed my heart. As his momma, this is all I needed — knowing that letting him choose what was suitable for his educational path was the right move. 4. How did the author feel on her son’s request at first? A. Proud. B. Puzzled. C. Disappointed. D. Embarrassed. 5 What was the problem of the author’s son? A. He had no friends. B. He didn’t really like learning. C. He was the slowest student in his class. D. He was poor at communicating with others. 6. What did the family realize after learning about the continuation school? A. It was a very satisfying option for them. B. A mainstream high school was much better. C. An alternative education was not advisable. D. The son might have difficulty in graduating. 7. The underlined word “scenario” could be best replaced by _____. A. plot B. history C. novel D. rule C For many Americans, home is where the heart is. However, some people are forced to leave their homes because of rising costs. “Hawaii is everything. Of course it’s very beautiful. The weather is beautiful, but you only get a deeper connection to a place when it’s connected to you,” said Lehua Kalima, who grew up and raised her kids in Hawaii. Nearly three years ago, Kalima and her husband left the Hawaiian islands for Clark County, Nevada. According to United Van Lines, the US’s largest household goods mover, Clark County has about 20,000 native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders. The Kalimas represent some of the 7 million Americans who move to a different state every year. “You know, we were already working really hard to make ends meet, but with three college tuitions now to pay, it was almost impossible,” Kalima said. United Van Lines has long tracked state-to-state migration, as well as the main reasons that people move. In 2018, nearly half of the people surveyed said they moved due to changes in employment. Four years later, a third of respondents said employment was the reason they moved. A rising number said they wanted to be close to family, and 8% stated a reason that three years earlier wasn’t even on the survey — the improved cost of living. “If you have roots in a place, you have a relationship with a place, with a piece of land, only then can you really understand what it’s like to have to go away from it,” Kalima said. Despite missing her home Kalima looks at the other side of things. “The things we do in life don’t necessarily keep us in one place. Sometimes they take us to all kinds of different places, but that’s necessary because, you know, that’ll take us to where we’re eventually supposed to be,”Kalima said. 8. What was the Kalimas’ life like before moving to Nevada? A. They almost had nowhere to live. B. They lived beyond their means. C. Kalima and her husband lost their jobs. D. Kalima’s children failed to get into college. 9. How does the writer illustrate the reasons for people moving to other states? A. By contrast. B. By connection. C. By examples. D. By diagrams. 10. What feeling did Kalima express in paragraph 6? A. Her worries about her life in Nevada. B. Her pain of being away from home. C. Her fear of being misunderstood by others. D. Her dissatisfaction with new social relationships. 11. What is Kalima’s attitude to life? A. Doubtful. B. Passive. C. Grateful. D. Positive. D While stress is an unavoidable aspect of life, studies continue to show too much stress can have a bad impact on both health and well-being. More specifically, excess stress can lead to high blood pressure, increasing heart disease risk. With all that in mind, researchers from the Universities of Maynooth and Limerick set out to better understand how reactions to stressful events impact our future health, as well as if there are any factors that can play key stress-buffering (缓解压力) roles. The research team suggests that previous research has shown that gratitude and affect-balance (balance of positive to negative emotions) play key stress-buffering roles. However, up until now there have been few studies examining the impact of these variables on cardiovascular (心血管) recovery from severe psychological stress. Researchers chose to focus on this consideration, as well as whether or not affect-balance moderates the relationship between gratitude and cardiovascular reactions to severe psychological stress. The actual research portion of this project took place at Maynooth University and involved a total of 68 undergrad students (24 men, 44 women) between the ages of 18 and 57. The experiment featured lab tasks which caused stress among the participants, while researchers measured cardiovascular reactivity and recovery in response to the stress. The ensuing results reveal that a state of gratitude predicts lower systolic (收缩) blood pressure responses throughout the stress-testing period. This means, researchers say, that gratitude promotes a unique stress-buffering effect on both reactions to and recovery from severe psychological stress. The team also found that affect-balance increases the effects of grateful feelings. In conclusion, researchers believe these findings hold clinical (临床的) usefulness.

We had a week to plan and carry out our strategy, and everyone wanted to play a meaningful part. On the first day of our planning week, our team leader, Emily, brought us together to discuss our roles. She assigned different tasks to each team member based on our strengths and interests. I was assigned the role of connecting with local businesses for fundraising, a task I felt confident in completing. As the week progressed, we worked tirelessly. One afternoon, while we were creating promotional (宣传的) materials, Jacob, one of our teammates, came to us with a tired look on his face. He explained that he had been feeling unwell for the past few days and was worried about falling behind on his tasks. Worried about Jacob’s well-being, we encouraged him to take some time off and rest and told him that we would support him in any way we could. Jacob finally agreed, understanding that he needed to take care of himself. With Jacob absent, we realized that his tasks, including creating promotional materials, were left unfinished. We knew that if we didn’t step in to help, our campaign would fail. To solve this problem, we came together as a team and thought of ways to support Jacob and keep our campaign on track. Sarah, with her artistic skills, volunteered to take over the design of the promotional materials, while Mark offered to help with the content creation. Emily, our team leader, stepped in to manage the whole team, making sure that everything stayed organized and on schedule. We tried our best to make our campaign successful. 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。 Late into the night, we came together in Sarah’s living room. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The following day, when Jacob returned to our team, he was surprised at the progress we had made in his absence ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力1—5 CBABC 6—10 ABCAA 11—15 BCCAB 16—20 ACBCB 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
