The artwork is expected to bring in between $400,000 to $600,000, setting a record for any Harry Potter-related material ever offered at auction. Illustrator Thomas Taylor was a 23-year-old recent art school graduate when he was hired by Bloomsbury to make a cover illustration for a fantasy children’s book by then-unknown author J.K. Rowling. It was Taylor’s first professional task, and he recalled being directed by Bloomsbury’s editor to depict the scene — Harry approaching the Hogwarts Express at King’s Cross Station. Despite having limited freedom for artistic expression, Taylor faithfully followed the instructions. Taylor had the unique opportunity to read Rowling’s early manuscript (手稿) on a train, making him one of the very first individuals to do so. The manuscript, only printed on one side, was missing Chapter 11, as the author was still making changes. Despite its incomplete state, Taylor found it to be a fascinating glimpse into the world of Harry Potter. Taylor revealed that he used the blank underside of each manuscript page for sketching. “And then I think I put the rest of it in the recycling bin,” he said. “Of course now I really regret that.” But Taylor said at the beginning he had mixed feelings about this early, giant success. “Normally when you start out as an illustrator, you kind of hope that your first work will be a bit forgotten and then you’ll develop and get better and better,” Taylor told The Rowling Library. However, he said he’s finally made peace with it — in part because of how prized his Harry Potter book cover painting has become at auction. 4. What does the underlined word “depict” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Discover. B. Illustrate. C. Set. D. Imagine. 5. What can we learn about Thomas Taylor? A. He found the manuscript absorbing. B. He was famous when given the task. C. He used the book pages for sketching. D. He had complete freedom of creation. 6. How did Taylor originally feel about his early success? A. Joyful but uncertain. B. Cheerful and excited. C. Anxious but grateful. D. Satisfied and confident. 7. What might be the best title for the passage? A. Thomas Taylor’s Magic Illustrations B. An Auction of Harry Potter Illustrations C. The Fascinating Manuscript of Harry Potter D. Thomas Taylor: Harry Potter’s First Illustrator 【答案】4. B 5. A 6. A 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了Thomas Taylor为第一版《哈利波特与魔法石》创作的水彩插画即将在纽约拍卖的消息，并预期这幅作品将在拍卖中创下哈利波特相关物品的拍卖纪录。 【4题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“Harry approaching the Hogwarts Express at King’s Cross Station.(哈利在国王十字车站走近霍格沃茨特快列车)”可知，此处是在描述书中的场景。由此推知，划线词depict为“描绘”之意，和B项意思相近。故选B项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Taylor had the unique opportunity to read Rowling’s early manuscript (手稿) on a train, making him one of the very first individuals to do so. The manuscript, only printed on one side, was missing Chapter 11, as the author was still making changes. Despite its incomplete state, Taylor found it to be a fascinating glimpse into the world of Harry Potter.(泰勒有幸在火车上阅读了罗琳的早期手稿，成为最早阅读该手稿的人之一。手稿只打印了一面，缺少了第11章，因为作者仍在对其进行修改。尽管手稿并不完整，但泰勒发现，这是哈利·波特世界一个引人入胜的缩影)”可知，托马斯·泰勒觉得这份手稿很吸引人。故选A项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“But Taylor said at the beginning he had mixed feelings about this early, giant success. “Normally when you start out as an illustrator, you kind of hope that your first work will be a bit forgotten and then you’ll develop and get better and better,” Taylor told The Rowling Library. However, he said he’s finally made peace with it — in part because of how prized his Harry Potter book cover painting has become at auction.(但泰勒说，一开始他对这一早期的巨大成功百感交集。泰勒在接受《罗琳图书馆》采访时表示：“通常情况下，当你开始成为一名插画师时，你会希望自己的第一部作品会被遗忘，然后你会发展得越来越好。”然而，他说他终于接受了这件事，部分原因是他的《哈利波特》封面画在拍卖会上变得非常珍贵)”可推知，泰勒对于他早期的成功感到百感交集，也就是快乐但是不确定是不是有利于自己的发展，他认为当你开始成为一名插画师时，你会希望自己的第一部作品会被遗忘，然后你会发展得越来越好。故选A项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Thomas Taylor’s original watercolor illustration for the first edition of “Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone” published by Bloomsbury in 1997 is scheduled to be auctioned (拍卖) for June 26 in New York. The artwork is expected to bring in between $400,000 to $600,000, setting a record for any Harry Potter-related material ever offered at auction.(托马斯·泰勒为布鲁姆斯伯里出版社1997年出版的第一版《哈利·波特与魔法石》绘制的水彩画原作将于6月26日在纽约拍卖。这幅作品预计将拍出40万至60万美元的高价，创下了拍卖会上所有哈利波特相关物品的拍卖纪录)”可知，本文主要讲述了托马斯·泰勒为第一版《哈利波特与魔法石》创作的水彩插画即将在纽约拍卖的消息。由此可知，D项“Thomas Taylor: Harry Potter’s First Illustrator(托马斯·泰勒：《哈利·波特》的第一位插画师)”适合作本文最佳标题。故选D项。 C A Japanese candy company has been making national news headlines for its idea to produce gummy candy (软糖) that tastes like an “imaginary fruit” called Kiraspika. Last year was a great one for gummy candy producers, and the market continued to expand throughout 2023, with fruit-flavored (水果味的) gummies being the most popular. There are plenty of fruit flavors to choose from, but companies are still limited to the fruits that can be found in our world. However, what if someone started making candy that tastes like imaginary fruits? That was the strange idea that a Japanese sweets maker recently came up with. Two months ago, the company created a new type of gummy candy that tastes like fruit “Kiraspika no Mi”, an imaginary fruit with an original flavor, design, and even a story. According to the story, the star-shaped Kiraspika only grows in the mountainous area of Blue Knife, where temperatures drop to —50℃ in winter. It is very difficult to get. Everything about Kiraspika was invented in the fruit lab where its flavor experts mixed various existing flavors to create a totally original one that tastes like nothing you’ve ever eaten. According to its designers, the Kiraspika-flavored gummy candy has a unique sweetness mixed with a kind of sourness (酸味), but many of those who have tried it have their own description of the taste. To some, the Kiraspika flavor can be compared to that of an energy drink, while others say it tastes a bit like a spicy apple. It is the mystery of the flavor and the personal explanations that make this product liked by many people. 8. What does the underlined word “expand” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Disappear. B. Shorten. C. Struggle. D. Grow. 9. What is a feature of Kiraspika? A. It can’t be found in real life. B. It grows on the plain. C. It can be planted easily. D. It needs high temperatures. 10. What makes the new type of gummy candy popular? A. Its shape. B. Its taste. C. Its origin. D. Its designer. 11. Where does this text probably come from? A. A news report. B. A health magazine. C. A biology book. D. An old story. 【答案】8. D 9. A 10. B 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道，主要讲述了一家日本糖果公司制作出了一种味道像虚构水果“Kiraspika”的软糖，并且这种软糖受到了很多人的喜爱。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第二段“Last year was a great one for gummy candy producers, with fruit-flavored(水果味的)gummies being the most popular.”（去年对于软糖生产商来说是个好年头，其中水果味的软糖最受欢迎。）可推知，市场在2023年持续扩大。expand的意思是“扩大”。故选D。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Two months ago, the company created a new type of gummy candy that tastes like fruit “Kiraspika no Mi”, an imaginary fruit with an original flavor, design, and even a story.”（两个月前，这家公司创造了一种新型的软糖，味道像一种名为“Kiraspika no Mi”的虚构水果，这种水果有原创的味道、设计甚至故事。）可推知，Kiraspika是一种虚构的水果，不能在现实生活中找到。故选A。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“It is the mystery of the flavor and the personal explanations that make this product liked by many people.”（正是这种味道的神秘性和个人的解释使得这种产品受到了许多人的喜爱。）可推知，新型软糖受欢迎的原因是其味道。故选B。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。主要讲述了一家日本糖果公司制作出了一种味道像虚构水果“Kiraspika”的软糖，并且这种软糖受到了很多人的喜爱。所以短文来自新闻报道。故选A。 D If you live in a region where winter weather is a regular risk, you are likely used to pouring salt on your sidewalks. But how does it work? And how much salt do humans pour onto our planet’s surface? The second question is easier to answer: a lot. Salt doesn’t directly melt ice, nor does it make snow simply disappear. Instead it makes water less likely to freeze in a phenomenon called freezing point depression. In the case of simple rock salt, which is a rawer, less pure version of table salt, each molecule (分子) splits into smaller elements. Normally, when water freezes into ice, its molecules line up to form a stable, orderly structure. Salt interrupts the process, however, and temperatures must drop lower to overcome that interruption and for freezing to occur. But if salt needs to interact with liquid water, how does it do anything when temperatures are stubbornly below freezing, and water should already be in the form of ice? That’s where cars help clear their own way by creating friction and, in turn, heat. The friction allows for the ice that has already frozen to melt a little bit, making it unlikely to freeze. Beyond rock salt’s ability to clear icy streets, it can also be destructive. Chloride ions (氯离子) can cause wear and tear on vehicles and facilities. Increasing chloride densities in North American lakes could begin to upset local ecology and degrade sources of drinking water. Many local governments are looking for alternatives to rock salt. Other salts such as magnesium chloride and calcium chloride work in the same way as rock salt, and they’re perhaps even more efficient. Some experiments are testing other ice-preventing solutions, including those that contain sugars instead of or in addition to salts. Another approach relies more heavily on sand, which can mechanically make roads safer. All of this experimentation is aimed at ensuring people can travel in any weather condition — a Herculean task when winter brings its worst. 12 What’s the purpose of the first sentence in Paragraph 2? A. To introduce the topic. B. To give some evidence. C. To define the phenomenon. D. To reveal the misconception. 13. How does salt work to disturb the process of freezing? A. By lowering the temperature. B. By melting and splitting itself. C. By lining up to form a solid structure. D. By stopping the formation of the structure. 14. What does the underlined word “densities” in Paragraph 4 mean? A. Concentrations. B. Weights. C. Qualities. D. Salts. 15. What’s the last paragraph mainly talking about? A Other salts won’t disturb local ecology. B. Efforts are being made to guarantee safe travels. C. Many alternatives are available to solve the problem. D. Bitter winter make it impossible to secure road safety. 【答案】12. D 13. D 14. A 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了人们在冬天通过在路面撒盐来缓解雪后因道路结冰而造成的交通安全问题，并就此问题所带来的环境问题进行科普。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段第一句“Salt doesn’t directly melt ice, nor does it make snow simply disappear.”（盐不会直接融化冰，也不会让雪消失。）以及第二句“Instead it makes water less likely to freeze in a phenomenon called freezing point depression.”（相反，它使水更不容易冻结，这种现象被称为冰点降低。）可知，第二段第一句的目的是揭示一个错误认知，纠正盐直接使雪和冰融化的错误想法。故选D项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Normally, when water freezes into ice, its molecules line up to form a stable, orderly structure. Salt interrupts the process, however, and temperatures must drop lower to overcome that interruption and for freezing to occur.”（正常情况下，当水结冰时，它的分子会排成一行，形成一个稳定有序的结构。然而，盐会打断这一过程，而温度必须降得更低，才能克服这种干扰，从而发生冻结。）可知，盐会干扰水分子在结冰时形成稳定、有序的结构。故选D项。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词所在的句子“Increasing chloride densities in North American lakes could begin to upset local ecology and degrade sources of drinking water.”（北美湖泊中氯化物densities的增加可能会扰乱当地生态，并使饮用水源退化。）可知，氯离子的浓度增加会是当地生态系统受到干扰，并使饮用水源退化。所以划线词的意思是“浓度”。故选A项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段，尤其是“All of this experimentation is aimed at ensuring people can travel in any weather condition…”（所有这些试验都是为了确保人们在任何天气条件下都能出行。）可知，本段主要阐述地方政府正在努力确保冰雪天气人们出行安全。故选B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。 Turf houses are, quite simply, half underground houses with a grassy roof. They date back over 1,000 years to the 9th Century, when building a turf house was the traditional way in Iceland. Iceland’s resources then consisted of plenty of wetlands and volcanic stone, but relatively little woodland compared to settlers’ home countries. ____16____ Like many traditions, turf houses survived, but developed. In the 14th Century Viking-style longhouses (thin, long, shared spaces) gave way to individual, smaller buildings. ____17____ Turf houses made way to more modern, recognisable buildings in the 20th Century, but they still exist as museums and heritage (遗产) buildings today. ____18____ Due to the difficult climate, it was essential that the houses should be well-insulated (保温). Besides, the lack of availability of wood and the richness of other suitable materials including lava rock and turf made turf houses available. Turf provides great insulation for buildings compared to those made of wood or stone alone. From the turn of the 20th Century, Icelanders increasingly moved into larger city settlements, leaving turf houses behind. ____19____ Modern turf houses tend to operate as museums, though some offer short-term holiday accommodation. While the number of turf houses in Iceland reduced greatly in the 20th Century, the rapid growth of Iceland’s tourism in the last 20 years or so has encouraged Iceland to reexamine the value of traditional buildings. ____20____ The Turf House Tradition was listed as potential nominees (提名) for UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Iceland, which included just six places of importance. A. Turf houses have great advantages. B. The last residents moved out of their turf-houses around 1966. C. There are two main reasons why turf houses were built in Iceland. D. That’s why early Icelanders faced a shortage of building materials. E. So, using stone and turf was a reasonable choice in building shelter. F. A big step towards protecting this national heritage was made in 2011. G. The late 18th Century saw the arrival of the turf house with wooden ends. 【答案】16. E 17. G 18. C 19. B 20. F 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章主要介绍冰岛的草皮屋，建造的原因及其发展的历史。 【16题详解】 上文“Iceland’s resources then consisted of plenty of wetlands and volcanic stone, but relatively little woodland compared to settlers’ home countries. (冰岛的资源包括大量的湿地和火山石，但与定居者的国家相比，林地相对较少。)”说明冰岛的湿地和火山石资源丰富。E项“So, using stone and turf was a reasonable choice in building shelter. (因此，使用石头和草皮是建造避难所是一个合理的选择。)”承接上文，冰岛利用自己的湿地和火山石资源建造避难所。故选E。 【17题详解】 下文“Turf houses made way to more modern, recognisable buildings in the 20th Century, but they still exist as museums and heritage (遗产) buildings today. (草皮屋在20世纪让位给更现代，可识别的建筑物，但它们今天仍然作为博物馆和遗产建筑存在。)”说明草皮屋在20世纪前很流行。G项“The late 18th Century saw the arrival of the turf house with wooden ends. (18世纪末期，可以看到木屋的结束和草皮屋的到来。)”引出下文，介绍草皮屋存在和流行的时期。故选G。 【18题详解】 下文“Due to the difficult climate, it was essential that the houses should be well-insulated (保温). Besides, the lack of availability of wood and the richness of other suitable materials including lava rock and turf made turf houses available.

(在冰岛建造草皮屋有两个主要原因。)”引出下文，解释建造草皮屋的原因。故选C。 【19题详解】 上文“From the turn of the 20th Century, Icelanders increasingly moved into larger city settlements, leaving turf houses behind. (从20世纪初开始，冰岛人越来越多地迁入更大的城市定居点，永远离开草皮屋)”说明从20世纪初开始，冰岛人离开草皮屋。B项“The last residents moved out of their turf-houses around 1966. (最后的居民在1966年左右搬出了他们的草皮屋。)”承接上文，说明从20世纪初开始，冰岛人搬出草皮屋。故选B。 【20题详解】 下文“The Turf House Tradition was listed as potential nominees (提名) for UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Iceland, which included just six places of importance. (草皮屋传统被列为冰岛联合国教科文组织世界遗产的潜在提名，这些提名中仅包括六个重要地点。)”说明草皮屋被提名为联合国教科文组织世界遗产。F项“A big step towards protecting this national heritage was made in 2011. (2011年，在保护这一民族遗产方面迈出了一大步。)”引出下文，通过将草皮屋提名为联合国教科文组织世界遗产来保护草皮屋。故选F。 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。 Many years ago, I worked in a marathon.

(运用了不定式作后置定语) 第二节（满分25分） 47. 阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成一篇完整的短文。 One day, I read a very sad story about a police dog named Solo that had been sent into a building to catch a suspect (嫌犯). The last thing Solo did before entering the building was to lick his owner’s face. A few minutes later, Solo was shot and killed in the line of duty. I knew how sad that officer must have felt because my own dog, Kela, had recently died. The article went on to tell about a fundraiser (募捐活动) that was going on to help buy bulletproof vests (防弹背心) for the police dogs there. I thought every police dog should be protected just like the police. I may be a kid, but why can’t I do a fundraiser to help save the dogs in our area? Then 1 found out that a bulletproof vest for a police dog costs $475. My mom thought it was a lot of money for an eleven-year-old girl to raise, but she told me to go ahead and try anyway. We called our local Oceanside Police Department and learned that their dogs needed bulletproof vests. At that point, I realized that I needed a name for the fundraiser and thought since I was trying to protect just one dog’s life, I would call my program Vest A Dog. I decided that vet offices and pet stores would be really good places to go with donation boxes and Vest A Dog fliers (传单). I used little green take-out boxes, decorated with a picture of Tiko, the dog I chose to vest, and me. I wrote on each box “Help protect the life of a police dog by donating a dollar.” One afternoon, after all the boxes had been placed throughout our community, I got a call from a local newspaper reporter who had seen one of my fliers. The reporter decided to do an article about Vest A Dog. That ought to spread the word, I thought. I asked officer Jim Wall, who is Tiko’s partner, if they would have their picture taken with me for the article and they did. 注意: 1. 续写词数应为150左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 After the article came out, I eagerly checked to see if there were any donations. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ About three weeks later, I counted the money from all of the boxes. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 After the article came out, I eagerly checked to see if there were any donations. Every day after school, I rushed to each location, hoping to find the boxes filled with contributions. To my delight, I started noticing more and more people stopping by the boxes, curious about Vest A Dog and willing to donate. Children were emptying their piggy banks, while adults were digging into their wallets for spare change or even writing checks. The community's response was overwhelming, and my heart swelled with gratitude. About three weeks later, I counted the money from all of the boxes. With trembling hands, I separated the bills and coins, triple-checking each count. The total amount astounded me – it was far beyond what I had ever imagined. We had managed to raise not just enough for one vest, but sufficient funds for multiple vests. I couldn't wait to share the news with Officer Jim Wall and Tiko. Their joy and appreciation upon hearing the update was priceless and I realized that no dream is too big, and even a young heart can make a significant impact. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索，主要介绍了一个小女孩为当地警犬筹集资金购买防弹背心的故事。受到一篇悲伤报道的启发，尽管年纪小，她仍决定发起募捐活动“Vest A Dog”。在得到母亲的支持和当地警察局确认需求后，她自制捐款箱和宣传单，在宠物相关场所布置，这一举动得到社区和当地报纸的支持。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句“文章发表后，我急切地查看是否有捐款。”可知，本段可描写募捐活动获社区热烈响应，女孩心怀感激。 ②由第二段首句“大约三周后，我数了数所有盒子里的钱。”可知，本段可描写三周后募捐成功，所得远超预期，可为多只警犬购背心，该行动影响深远。 2.段落续写：报纸报道——大家开始关注——踊跃捐款——超出预期——分享消息——感到高兴并感恩——深远的影响 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①冲向：rush to/hurry to ②注意到：notice/observe/spot ③筹集：raise/collect 情绪类 ①令人高兴的是：to one’s delight/to one’s joy ②使震惊：astound/astonish/shock 【点睛】【高分句型1】The total amount astounded me —— it was far beyond what I had ever imagined.（运用了what引导的宾语从句） 【高分句型2】Their joy and appreciation upon hearing the update was priceless and I realized that no dream is too big, and even a young heart can make a significant impact.（运用了that引导的宾语从句） 听力1-20 CBAAC BACBA BCCAB CAABB 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 鹤壁市高中2023—2024学年（下）期末考试 高一英语试题卷 注意事项： 1.答题前，考生务必用黑色签字笔将自己的姓名、准考证号、座位号在答题卡上填写清楚； 2.每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑，在试卷上作答无效； 3.考试结束后，请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，并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.Which team is the woman’s daughter in?

The artwork is expected to bring in between $400,000 to $600,000, setting a record for any Harry Potter-related material ever offered at auction. Illustrator Thomas Taylor was a 23-year-old recent art school graduate when he was hired by Bloomsbury to make a cover illustration for a fantasy children’s book by then-unknown author J.K. Rowling. It was Taylor’s first professional task, and he recalled being directed by Bloomsbury’s editor to depict the scene — Harry approaching the Hogwarts Express at King’s Cross Station. Despite having limited freedom for artistic expression, Taylor faithfully followed the instructions. Taylor had the unique opportunity to read Rowling’s early manuscript (手稿) on a train, making him one of the very first individuals to do so. The manuscript, only printed on one side, was missing Chapter 11, as the author was still making changes. Despite its incomplete state, Taylor found it to be a fascinating glimpse into the world of Harry Potter. Taylor revealed that he used the blank underside of each manuscript page for sketching. “And then I think I put the rest of it in the recycling bin,” he said. “Of course now I really regret that.” But Taylor said at the beginning he had mixed feelings about this early, giant success. “Normally when you start out as an illustrator, you kind of hope that your first work will be a bit forgotten and then you’ll develop and get better and better,” Taylor told The Rowling Library. However, he said he’s finally made peace with it — in part because of how prized his Harry Potter book cover painting has become at auction. 4. What does the underlined word “depict” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Discover. B. Illustrate. C. Set. D. Imagine. 5. What can we learn about Thomas Taylor? A. He found the manuscript absorbing. B. He was famous when given the task. C. He used the book pages for sketching. D. He had complete freedom of creation. 6. How did Taylor originally feel about his early success? A. Joyful but uncertain. B. Cheerful and excited. C. Anxious but grateful. D. Satisfied and confident. 7. What might be the best title for the passage? A. Thomas Taylor’s Magic Illustrations B. An Auction of Harry Potter Illustrations C. The Fascinating Manuscript of Harry Potter D. Thomas Taylor: Harry Potter’s First Illustrator C A Japanese candy company has been making national news headlines for its idea to produce gummy candy (软糖) that tastes like an “imaginary fruit” called Kiraspika Last year was a great one for gummy candy producers, and the market continued to expand throughout 2023, with fruit-flavored (水果味的) gummies being the most popular. There are plenty of fruit flavors to choose from, but companies are still limited to the fruits that can be found in our world. However, what if someone started making candy that tastes like imaginary fruits? That was the strange idea that a Japanese sweets maker recently came up with. Two months ago, the company created a new type of gummy candy that tastes like fruit “Kiraspika no Mi”, an imaginary fruit with an original flavor, design, and even a story. According to the story, the star-shaped Kiraspika only grows in the mountainous area of Blue Knife, where temperatures drop to —50℃ in winter. It is very difficult to get. Everything about Kiraspika was invented in the fruit lab where its flavor experts mixed various existing flavors to create a totally original one that tastes like nothing you’ve ever eaten. According to its designers, the Kiraspika-flavored gummy candy has a unique sweetness mixed with a kind of sourness (酸味), but many of those who have tried it have their own description of the taste. To some, the Kiraspika flavor can be compared to that of an energy drink, while others say it tastes a bit like a spicy apple. It is the mystery of the flavor and the personal explanations that make this product liked by many people. 8. What does the underlined word “expand” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Disappear. B. Shorten. C. Struggle. D. Grow. 9. What is a feature of Kiraspika? A. It can’t be found in real life. B. It grows on the plain. C. It can be planted easily. D. It needs high temperatures. 10. What makes the new type of gummy candy popular? A. Its shape. B. Its taste. C. Its origin. D. Its designer. 11. Where does this text probably come from? A. A news report. B. A health magazine. C. A biology book. D. An old story. D If you live in a region where winter weather is a regular risk, you are likely used to pouring salt on your sidewalks. But how does it work? And how much salt do humans pour onto our planet’s surface? The second question is easier to answer: a lot. Salt doesn’t directly melt ice, nor does it make snow simply disappear. Instead it makes water less likely to freeze in a phenomenon called freezing point depression. In the case of simple rock salt, which is a rawer, less pure version of table salt, each molecule (分子) splits into smaller elements. Normally, when water freezes into ice, its molecules line up to form a stable, orderly structure. Salt interrupts the process, however, and temperatures must drop lower to overcome that interruption and for freezing to occur. But if salt needs to interact with liquid water, how does it do anything when temperatures are stubbornly below freezing, and water should already be in the form of ice? That’s where cars help clear their own way by creating friction and, in turn, heat. The friction allows for the ice that has already frozen to melt a little bit, making it unlikely to freeze. Beyond rock salt’s ability to clear icy streets, it can also be destructive. Chloride ions (氯离子) can cause wear and tear on vehicles and facilities. Increasing chloride densities in North American lakes could begin to upset local ecology and degrade sources of drinking water. Many local governments are looking for alternatives to rock salt. Other salts such as magnesium chloride and calcium chloride work in the same way as rock salt, and they’re perhaps even more efficient. Some experiments are testing other ice-preventing solutions, including those that contain sugars instead of or in addition to salts. Another approach relies more heavily on sand, which can mechanically make roads safer. All of this experimentation is aimed at ensuring people can travel in any weather condition — a Herculean task when winter brings its worst. 12. What’s the purpose of the first sentence in Paragraph 2? A. To introduce the topic. B. To give some evidence. C. To define the phenomenon. D. To reveal the misconception. 13. How does salt work to disturb the process of freezing? A. By lowering the temperature. B. By melting and splitting itself. C. By lining up to form a solid structure. D. By stopping the formation of the structure. 14. What does the underlined word “densities” in Paragraph 4 mean? A. Concentrations. B. Weights. C. Qualities. D. Salts. 15. What’s the last paragraph mainly talking about? A. Other salts won’t disturb local ecology. B. Efforts are being made to guarantee safe travels. C. Many alternatives are available to solve the problem. D. Bitter winter make it impossible to secure road safety. 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。 Turf houses are, quite simply, half underground houses with a grassy roof. They date back over 1,000 years to the 9th Century, when building a turf house was the traditional way in Iceland. Iceland’s resources then consisted of plenty of wetlands and volcanic stone, but relatively little woodland compared to settlers’ home countries. ____16____ Like many traditions turf houses survived, but developed. In the 14th Century Viking-style longhouses (thin, long, shared spaces) gave way to individual, smaller buildings. ____17____ Turf houses made way to more modern, recognisable buildings in the 20th Century, but they still exist as museums and heritage (遗产) buildings today. ____18____ Due to the difficult climate, it was essential that the houses should be well-insulated (保温). Besides, the lack of availability of wood and the richness of other suitable materials including lava rock and turf made turf houses available.

The last thing Solo did before entering the building was to lick his owner’s face. A few minutes later, Solo was shot and killed in the line of duty. I knew how sad that officer must have felt because my own dog, Kela, had recently died. The article went on to tell about a fundraiser (募捐活动) that was going on to help buy bulletproof vests (防弹背心) for the police dogs there. I thought every police dog should be protected just like the police. I may be a kid, but why can’t I do a fundraiser to help save the dogs in our area? Then 1 found out that a bulletproof vest for a police dog costs $475. My mom thought it was a lot of money for an eleven-year-old girl to raise, but she told me to go ahead and try anyway. We called our local Oceanside Police Department and learned that their dogs needed bulletproof vests. At that point, I realized that I needed a name for the fundraiser and thought since I was trying to protect just one dog’s life, I would call my program Vest A Dog. I decided that vet offices and pet stores would be really good places to go with donation boxes and Vest A Dog fliers (传单). I used little green take-out boxes, decorated with a picture of Tiko, the dog I chose to vest, and me. I wrote on each box “Help protect the life of a police dog by donating a dollar.” One afternoon, after all the boxes had been placed throughout our community, I got a call from a local newspaper reporter who had seen one of my fliers. The reporter decided to do an article about Vest A Dog. That ought to spread the word, I thought. I asked officer Jim Wall, who is Tiko’s partner, if they would have their picture taken with me for the article and they did. 注意: 1. 续写词数应为150左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 After the article came out, I eagerly checked to see if there were any donations. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ About three weeks later, I counted the money from all of the boxes. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力1-20 CBAAC BACBA BCCAB CAABB 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
