C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章介绍了大英博物馆的整体分布及其下属不同楼层的各个分馆的情况。 【1题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“The Great British Museum pages feature a range of exciting resources, including virtual tours with Google Street View, object highlights, and facts. Below you’ll find a list of galleries on different floors, together with two galleries created especially for our online audience. (大英博物馆的页面提供了一系列令人兴奋的资源，包括使用谷歌街景的虚拟游览、展品亮点和事实。下面你将找到不同楼层的画廊列表，以及为在线观众特别创建的两个画廊。)”可以判断出本文是摘自官网。故选C项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据“The Ground Floor”中的“The Collecting the World gallery in Room 2 celebrates some of the collectors who, in different ways, have shaped the Museum over four centuries, along with individuals and organizations who continue to shape its future. (Collecting the World 画廊位于2号房间，它颂扬了一些以不同方式塑造了博物馆四个世纪的收藏家们，以及继续塑造其未来的个人和组织。)”可知，Room 2纪念对博物馆做出贡献的人。故选A项。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据“The Upper Floor”中“The gallery in Room 33 explores the cultures of China and South Asia through a range of splendid objects. One half presents the histories of China from 5000 BC to the present: from Ming dynasty blue-and-white porcelain (瓷器) to modern works of art. The displays feature the richness of art and material culture in China. (33号房间的展厅通过一系列精美的物品探索中国和南亚的文化。其中一半展示了公元前5000年至今的中国历史：从明代青花瓷到现代艺术作品。展览展示了中国丰富的艺术和物质文化。)”可知，在The Upper Floor33号房间的展览中一半展示了公元前5000年至今的中国历史，展览展示了中国丰富的艺术和物质文化。由此可知，参观者可能会评论中国的艺术和物质文化的丰富性，C选项“The richness of art and material culture in China is second to none.(中国的艺术和物质文化的丰富程度是首屈一指的。)”可能是The Upper Floor参观者的评论。故选C项。 B A few years ago, I was leaving the dog shelter where I worked only to find a baby goat at the end of the driveway. The shelter’s owners are known as animal rescuers, and I figured someone had abandoned him over the fence. The kid was visibly nervous but stood perfectly still as I approached. I’m an animal lover and I’ve brought home dogs, cats, horses, and chickens, but never a goat. The tiny kid was too adorable to resist. I named him Quincy, and with the help of some experienced friends, bottle-fed him in my bathroom. Quincy proved to be quite sharp-witted. When he was about a week old, I knocked on the bathroom floor and said “lie down”. I was astonished when he dropped down. I was even more amazed when he did it three times in a row. A quick study! Quincy learned to lie down, bow, and turn in a circle in no time. He is house-trained, jumps in the back of my SUV when I say “load up”, and spends the day wandering with my dogs, whom he considers his fellow goats. He knows the name of everything I feed him, and even joins us for trips to the dog park. I love to train animals and often take my dogs to shows where they can perform their tricks. Quincy did his first show when he was just six weeks old. He knew only a few tricks then, but he did them perfectly and never misbehaved or got nervous in front of the crowd. Now he has a whole inventory (清单): he’ll come when called, walk on a string, wave, smile for the camera (“Say cheese!”), and more. Quincy and my dogs perform regularly at schools, nursing homes, and charity events. Quincy can even “read” his tricks off cards, which always earns the most applause. It’s hard to believe that the baby goat nobody wanted turned out to be one of the smartest and most good-natured animals I’ve ever had. He’s by far the sharpest of my bunch—just don’t tell the dogs! 4. Why did the author decide to adopt the goat? A. It touched his heart. B. He could only find a goat. C. A goat was always his favorite. D. Some experienced friends convinced him. 5. What does the underlined word in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Brave. B. Gentle. C. Innocent. D. Intelligent. 6. How does the author present the baby goat’s ability? A. By citing figures. B. By listing examples. C. By making a comparison. D. By drawing a diagram. 7. Which words can best describe the author? A. Generous and modest. B. Cautious and smart. C. Humorous and warm-hearted. D. Optimistic and creative. 【答案】4. A 5. D 6. B 7. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了作者救治一只小羊并训练它进行表演的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段内容“I’m an animal lover(我是一个动物爱好者)”以及“The tiny kid was too adorable to resist.(这个小家伙太可爱了以至于无法抗拒)” 可知，作者是一个动物爱好者，而小羊太可爱了，吸引了作者，即作者内心被可爱的小羊打动，因此决定收养这只小羊。故选A项。 【5题详解】 词义猜测题。根据文章第三段划线词后“When he was about a week old, I knocked on the bathroom floor and said ‘lie down’. I was astonished when he dropped down. I was even more amazed when he did it three times in a row.(当他大约一周大的时候，我敲了敲浴室的地板，说“躺下”。他卧倒时我很惊讶。当他连续做了三次时，我更加惊讶。)”可知，大约一周大的小羊听懂了作者的指令，并作出指令动作，这说明这只小羊很聪明。由此可推知，“sharp-witted”是“聪明的”含义。故选D项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。从文章第四段内容“A quick study! Quincy learned to lie down, bow, and turn in a circle in no time. He is house-trained, jumps in the back of my SUV when I say ‘load up’,(快速学习！Quincy很快学会了躺下、鞠躬和转圈。“他”受过家庭训练，当我说“上车”时，“他”会跳到我SUV的后面)”以及第六段“Now he has a whole inventory (清单): he’ll come when called, walk on a string, wave, smile for the camera (“Say cheese!”), and more. (现在他有了一个完整的清单：他会在被叫时过来，在绳子上走路，挥手，对着镜头微笑（“说奶酪！”）等等)”可知，作者在文章中举例了小羊可以完成的事情，作者是通过举例子的方式来展现小羊的能力。故选B项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段内容“He’s by far the sharpest of my bunch—just don’t tell the dogs!(到目前为止，“他”是我这群动物里最聪明的——只是别告诉狗狗们!)”可知，作者用“只是被告诉狗狗们”表达了自己的幽默；根据第二段内容“I’m an animal lover and I’ve brought home dogs, cats, horses, and chickens, but never a goat.(我是一个动物爱好者，我带过狗、猫、马和鸡回家，但从来没有山羊。)”可知，这一描述说明了作者的善良。由此可推知，作者是一个幽默善良的人。故选C项。 C Rain forests are globally disappearing due to the expansion of farmlands. Some researchers are searching for smart ways to restore forests to reduce costs because planting trees is, to some extent, expensive. One possibility is called natural regeneration, which means letting the forests grow back by themselves without planting new trees. While natural regeneration seems like a beautiful solution, we must be careful. If we just let all forests grow back naturally, we might miss some important areas. Many sensitive areas have suffered illegally from deforestation and may not regrow on their own, so we should immediately take care of these areas. We then created two plans to restore 15 million hectares (公顷) of the Brazilian Atlantic Forest. Plan 1 focuses on places where trees can grow back by themselves. In Plan 2, we give nature a little hand by planting trees where they cannot grow back on their own. This helps bring back forests in all the ecologically sensitive areas. We also figured out which areas had the lowest overall restoration costs: the cost to plant trees plus financial losses because the farmers could no longer use the land for farming. We found if we adopted Plan 1 and let nature recover 15 million hectares in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest, we would restore more places from small farms than places in large plantations (种植园). That would impact the farming activities of small farm owners, while large farming companies would continue their business as usual. Plan 2 aimed at planting new trees in the special places currently not covered by forests. Further, Plan 2 helped to reforest regions that did not have many trees left, which brought animals and plants back to regions where they had been lost. Now that we have a plan, it is time to put it into action! Let’s make joint efforts and work together to make a big difference in saving our forests! 8. Why is natural regeneration called a smart way? A. Farmlands are declining. B. It is environmentally friendly. C. Planting trees is relatively costly. D. Sensitive areas may not restore themselves. 9. What does plan 2 show? A. The vastness of rain forests. B. The necessity of human intervention. C. The consequences of human activities. D. The possibility of natural regeneration. 10. Who might suffer more according to paragraph 4? A. The small farm owners. B. Large farming companies. C. Agricultural organizations. D. Residents in reforested regions. 11. What’s the author’s purpose in writing the passage? A. To fuel a debate. B. To prove a theory. C. To call for action. D. To present a phenomenon. 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. A 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了热带雨林令人担忧的现状及其解决方法，并讨论了相关解决方案的优劣。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。 根据第一段的“Some researchers are searching for smart ways to restore forests to reduce costs because planting trees is, to some extent, expensive.(一些研究人员正在寻找恢复森林以降低成本的明智方法，因为在某种程度上植树是昂贵的)”可知，一些研究人员认为“天然造林”更明智，是因为人工植树从某种程度上较为昂贵。故选C。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段的“In Plan 2, we give nature a little hand by planting trees where they cannot grow back on their own. This helps bring back forests in all the ecologically sensitive areas.(在计划2中，我们帮助大自然，在它们无法自行生长的地方植树。这有助于恢复所有生态敏感地区的森林)”可推知，在人类的干预下和帮助下，有些地区的植被等可以恢复。故选B。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段的“We found if we adopted Plan 1 and let nature recover 15 million hectares in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest, we would restore more places from small farms than places in large plantations (种植园). That would impact the farming activities of small farm owners, while large farming companies would continue their business as usual.(我们发现，如果我们通过计划1，让自然在巴西大西洋森林恢复1500万公顷，我们将从小型农场恢复比大型种植园更多的地方。这将影响小型农场主的农业活动，而大型农业公司将照常经营)”可知，小农场主们是最容易受到影响的。故选A。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Now that we have a plan, it is time to put it into action! Let’s make joint efforts and work together to make a big difference in saving our forests!(现在我们有了计划，是时候把它付诸行动了！让我们共同努力，共同努力，在拯救我们的森林方面有所作为！)”可推知，本文旨在呼吁人们采取行动保护热带雨林。故选C。 D Roughly 42% of Americans are nearsighted today, compared to 25% in 1971. The World Health Organization predicts that about half of the world’s population will have nearsightedness by 2050. It’s apparent that our eyesight is becoming increasingly poor, but researchers are only now beginning to understand why. Generally a childhood phenomenon, nearsightedness happens when the eyeball grows too long from front to back, taking on more of an oval (椭圆形) shape rather than a sphere (球形). Eyes have a “stop signal” so that they grow corresponding with the head, explains Gregory Schwartz, an associate professor at Northwestern University. However, that signal can be interrupted by genetic and environmental factors, which leads to our eyeballs growing a bit too much, leading to far-off objects looking out of focus. Signs you might have nearsightedness also include headaches, as well as eye stress and tiredness when doing certain activities such as driving or playing sports. The increased use of screens, most of which are high contrast, like black text on a white page, or light text on a dark background, overstimulating our eyes, causing more eye growth in children and less time spent outdoors are to blame. A 2017 study published in JAMA Ophthalmology found a connection between increased natural light exposure and a decrease in nearsightedness, particularly in children and young adults. Exposure to natural light stimulates dopamine, a chemical which helps regulate normal growth and development of the eyeball. Indoor lighting doesn’t do the trick. Most people’s vision will stabilize in their teens, but some people develop nearsightedness later in life, typically between ages 20 and 40. Poor eyesight isn’t the only downside; people with nearsightedness are at a higher risk of developing eye issues as they age. That’s why regular eye exercise is crucial. 12. What is the function of the figures in paragraph 1? A. To draw the attention of WHO. B. To introduce the research methods. C. To explain the causes of nearsightedness. D. To illustrate the seriousness of nearsightedness. 13. What happens to the eyeballs of nearsighted children? A. They are out of shape. B. They grow into a sphere. C. They match the growth of heads. D. They distinguish far-off objects easily. 14. What is the main idea of paragraph 3? A. The overuse of screens. B. The causes of nearsightedness. C. The benefits of protecting eyes. D. The influence of exposure to light. 15. What might the author continue talking about? A. Eye issues of ageing. B. The ways to exercise eyes. C. Key factors to affect eyesight. D. The downside of nearsightedness. 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. B 15. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍人们眼睛近视背后的主要原因。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“Roughly 42% of Americans are nearsighted today, compared to 25% in 1971. The World Health Organization predicts that about half of the world’s population will have nearsightedness by 2050.(如今，大约42%的美国人患有近视，而1971年这一比例为25%。世界卫生组织预测，到2050年，世界上大约一半的人口将患有近视。)”可知，第1段中数字的作用是说明近视的严重性。故选D项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Generally a childhood phenomenon, nearsightedness happens when the eyeball grows too long from front to back, taking on more of an oval(椭圆形) shape rather than a sphere(球形).(近视通常是一种儿童现象，当眼球从前到后长得太长，呈椭圆形而不是球形时就会发生近视。)”可知，近视儿童的眼球会呈椭圆形而不是球形，即近视之后，眼球会变形。故选A项。 【14题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“The increased use of screens, most of which are high contrast, like black text on a white page, or light text on a dark background, overstimulating our eyes, causing more eye growth in children and less time spent outdoors are to blame. A 2017 study published in JAMA Ophthalmology found a connection between increased natural light exposure and a decrease in nearsightedness, particularly in children and young adults. Exposure to natural light stimulates dopamine, a chemical which helps regulate normal growth and development of the eyeball. Indoor lighting doesn’t do the trick.(越来越多地使用屏幕，其中大多数是高对比度的屏幕，比如白色页面上的黑色文本，或者深色背景上的浅色文本，过度刺激我们的眼睛，导致儿童眼睛发育加快，户外活动时间减少。2017年发表在《美国医学会眼科学》上的一项研究发现，自然光暴露增加与近视减少之间存在联系，尤其是在儿童和年轻人中。暴露在自然光下会刺激多巴胺，这种化学物质有助于调节眼球的正常生长和发育。室内照明并不能做到这一点。)”可知，本段主要讲述近视形成的原因。故选B项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Poor eyesight isn’t the only downside; people with nearsightedness are at a higher risk of developing eye issues as they age. That’s why regular eye exercise is crucial.(视力不佳不是唯一的缺点；随着年龄的增长，近视的人患眼部疾病的风险更高。这就是为什么定期的眼保健操是至关重要的。)”可知，作者可能会继续谈论锻炼眼睛的具体方法。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。 It isn’t unusual that our life is always accompanied by joys, sorrows and other emotions. ___16___ Thankfully, there are a number of mental health techniques you can use and lifestyle changes you can make to control and overcome these negative feelings.

Mine came recently when my wife and I stayed with our elder son in Los Angeles—our first visit in several years and the longest since he moved west in 2014. A whole week under his roof! “Dad, don’t leave the water running when you brush your teeth,” Nathaniel “advised” on our first night. All right, I figured, this is California, where drought is a concern. But I also got caught pulling extra paper towels to wipe the kitchen table on the second day and was instructed to use the dishcloth, which didn’t seem clean enough. More orders followed. Not to leave my out-of-date walking shoes sitting out, and did I even need such ugly footwear? Don’t wear a neck warmer when walking the dogs in the morning—it will warm up when we get to the park. Why drink so much soda water... At last, on the third day, I got a little bit angry and I wondered how I’d raised such a tyrant (暴君) and even wanted to argue with Nathaniel. I wanted to tell him how rude he was before his mom and I planned to head back on the fourth day. Then I remembered how often I threw the golden rule of parenting at Nathaniel and his sisters and brothers when they were young. “Some day, you’ll have a home of your own and can live however you want,” I’d say. “But now, you’ll have to do as we ask.” Now it was payback time. I remembered getting angry at my own father’s commands when growing up, how he always adjusted my collar or came into my room at dusk to draw the curtains. 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。 Feeling sorry, I walked to Nathaniel immediately. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Hugging me tightly in tears, Nathaniel kissed me for my understanding. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文： Feeling sorry, I walked to Nathaniel immediately. I patted him gently on his back and proposed a walk outside. Confused as he was, I let my heart out sincerely while walking along the river. I murmured by his side how annoyed I was under his “supervision” at the very beginning. Then I apologized to him for my misunderstanding and shared with him how I got along with his grandfather in the course of my growth. Letting out a sigh of relief at last, I told him I was so proud of his being a powerful adult now and I understood that it was time for him to grow up. Hugging me tightly in tears, Nathaniel kissed me for my understanding. He looked at me into my eyes, saying: “Dad, never had I realized how bossy I was when I talked to you and Mom. Please forgive me!” In the remaining days, I smilingly followed Nathaniel’s household “dos and don’ts”, but with a touch of relaxation. As for my son, he tried to be our perfect baby by cleaning dishes after dinner, assuming he would do a better job than my wife and me or setting our daily outings, willingly driving everywhere. It was then that I knew for sure that the son also rises to fatherhood. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索，文章主要介绍了作者和妻子去洛杉矶看望大儿子时的一段经历。在儿子家中居住的一周里，作者因为一些生活习惯上的差异受到了儿子的多次“指导”，比如刷牙时不应该让水一直流着、不应该用太多的纸巾擦桌子、不应该把过时的鞋子随意摆放等。这让作者感到有些恼火，甚至觉得自己养出了一个“暴君”。然而，在情绪过后，作者回想起了自己年轻时也经常对父亲的管教感到不满，意识到这是孩子们在有了自己的生活方式后的正常反应。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句“我感到抱歉，立即走向Nathaniel 。”可知，本段可描写作者向大儿子表达歉意，最终认可他已成长为有能力的成年人，表达了自豪与理解。 ②由第二段首句“Nathaniel泪流满面地紧紧拥抱着我，吻了我一下，以表示我理解。”可知，本段可描写Nathaniel感激父亲的理解，反省自身，展现成熟。 2.续写线索：向儿子道歉——真诚的交流——分享了自己成长中和父亲的关系——赞扬儿子的成长和能力——儿子反思了自己的行为——展现出成熟的态度 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①提议出去散步：propose a walk outside/suggest taking a walk outdoors ②向某人道歉：apologize to sb. /say sorry to sb. ③低语：murmur/whisper 情绪类 ①真诚的：sincerely/genuinely ②生气的：annoyed/irritated 【点睛】【高分句型1】Then I apologized to him for my misunderstanding and shared with him how I got along with his grandfather in the course of my growth.（运用了how引导的宾语从句） 【高分句型2】It was then that I knew for sure that the son also rises to fatherhood.（运用了强调句型） 听力1-5 ABBAB 6-10 CBBCB 11-15 AACAC 16-20 BCBAA 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024年湖北省五市州高二期末联考 英语试卷 2024.7 本试卷共12页。全卷满分150分。考试用时120分钟。 ★祝考试顺利★ 注意事项： 1. 答题前，先将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在试卷和答题卡上，并将准考证号条形码粘贴在答题卡上的指定位置。 2. 选择题的作答：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。写在试卷、草稿纸和答题卡上的非答题区域均无效。 3. 非选择题的作答：用黑色签字笔直接答在答题卡上对应的答题区域内。写在试卷、草稿纸和答题卡上的非答题区域均无效。 4. 考试结束后，请将本试卷和答题卡一并上交。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 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。 例：How much is the shirt?

Below you’ll find a list of galleries on different floors, together with two galleries created especially for our online audience. The Lower Floor The Africa Galleries in Room 25 reveal the extraordinary cultural, artistic and historical diversity and complexity of the continent represented by the collections. The inclusion of contemporary art throughout the galleries highlights the continuing beauty of art in and about Africa, both by artists living on the continent and those working outside it. The Ground Floor The Collecting the World Gallery in Room 2 celebrates some of the collectors who, in different ways, have shaped the Museum over four centuries, along with individuals and organizations who continue to shape its future. The next-door galleries explore aspects of collecting like Enlightenment in Room 1 and Renaissance and Baroque masterpieces in Room 2a. The Upper Floor The gallery in Room 33 explores the cultures of China and South Asia through a range of splendid objects. One half presents the histories of China from 5000 BC to the present: from Ming dynasty blue-and-white porcelain (瓷器) to modern works of art. The displays feature the richness of art and material culture in China. The other half presents South Asia’s many histories chronologically (按年代地) and by region.

The richness of art and material culture in China is second to none. D. What fun to talk with collectors about the magical properties of jade. B A few years ago, I was leaving the dog shelter where I worked only to find a baby goat at the end of the driveway. The shelter’s owners are known as animal rescuers, and I figured someone had abandoned him over the fence. The kid was visibly nervous but stood perfectly still as I approached. I’m an animal lover and I’ve brought home dogs, cats, horses, and chickens, but never a goat. The tiny kid was too adorable to resist. I named him Quincy, and with the help of some experienced friends, bottle-fed him in my bathroom. Quincy proved to be quite sharp-witted. When he was about a week old, I knocked on the bathroom floor and said “lie down”. I was astonished when he dropped down. I was even more amazed when he did it three times in a row. A quick study! Quincy learned to lie down, bow, and turn in a circle in no time. He is house-trained, jumps in the back of my SUV when I say “load up”, and spends the day wandering with my dogs, whom he considers his fellow goats. He knows the name of everything I feed him, and even joins us for trips to the dog park. I love to train animals and often take my dogs to shows where they can perform their tricks. Quincy did his first show when he was just six weeks old. He knew only a few tricks then, but he did them perfectly and never misbehaved or got nervous in front of the crowd. Now he has a whole inventory (清单): he’ll come when called walk on a string, wave, smile for the camera (“Say cheese!”), and more. Quincy and my dogs perform regularly at schools, nursing homes, and charity events. Quincy can even “read” his tricks off cards, which always earns the most applause. It’s hard to believe that the baby goat nobody wanted turned out to be one of the smartest and most good-natured animals I’ve ever had. He’s by far the sharpest of my bunch—just don’t tell the dogs! 4. Why did the author decide to adopt the goat? A. It touched his heart. B. He could only find a goat. C. A goat was always his favorite. D. Some experienced friends convinced him. 5. What does the underlined word in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Brave. B. Gentle. C. Innocent. D. Intelligent. 6. How does the author present the baby goat’s ability? A. By citing figures. B. By listing examples. C. By making a comparison. D. By drawing a diagram. 7. Which words can best describe the author? A. Generous and modest. B. Cautious and smart. C. Humorous and warm-hearted. D. Optimistic and creative. C Rain forests are globally disappearing due to the expansion of farmlands. Some researchers are searching for smart ways to restore forests to reduce costs because planting trees is, to some extent, expensive. One possibility is called natural regeneration, which means letting the forests grow back by themselves without planting new trees. While natural regeneration seems like a beautiful solution, we must be careful. If we just let all forests grow back naturally, we might miss some important areas. Many sensitive areas have suffered illegally from deforestation and may not regrow on their own, so we should immediately take care of these areas. We then created two plans to restore 15 million hectares (公顷) of the Brazilian Atlantic Forest. Plan 1 focuses on places where trees can grow back by themselves. In Plan 2 we give nature a little hand by planting trees where they cannot grow back on their own. This helps bring back forests in all the ecologically sensitive areas. We also figured out which areas had the lowest overall restoration costs: the cost to plant trees plus financial losses because the farmers could no longer use the land for farming. We found if we adopted Plan 1 and let nature recover 15 million hectares in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest, we would restore more places from small farms than places in large plantations (种植园). That would impact the farming activities of small farm owners, while large farming companies would continue their business as usual. Plan 2 aimed at planting new trees in the special places currently not covered by forests. Further, Plan 2 helped to reforest regions that did not have many trees left, which brought animals and plants back to regions where they had been lost. Now that we have a plan, it is time to put it into action! Let’s make joint efforts and work together to make a big difference in saving our forests! 8. Why is natural regeneration called a smart way? A. Farmlands are declining. B. It is environmentally friendly. C. Planting trees is relatively costly. D. Sensitive areas may not restore themselves. 9. What does plan 2 show? A. The vastness of rain forests. B. The necessity of human intervention. C. The consequences of human activities. D. The possibility of natural regeneration. 10. Who might suffer more according to paragraph 4? A. The small farm owners. B. Large farming companies. C. Agricultural organizations. D. Residents in reforested regions. 11. What’s the author’s purpose in writing the passage? A. To fuel a debate. B. To prove a theory. C. To call for action. D. To present a phenomenon. D Roughly 42% of Americans are nearsighted today, compared to 25% in 1971. The World Health Organization predicts that about half of the world’s population will have nearsightedness by 2050. It’s apparent that our eyesight is becoming increasingly poor, but researchers are only now beginning to understand why. Generally a childhood phenomenon, nearsightedness happens when the eyeball grows too long from front to back, taking on more of an oval (椭圆形) shape rather than a sphere (球形). Eyes have a “stop signal” so that they grow corresponding with the head, explains Gregory Schwartz, an associate professor at Northwestern University. However, that signal can be interrupted by genetic and environmental factors, which leads to our eyeballs growing a bit too much, leading to far-off objects looking out of focus. Signs you might have nearsightedness also include headaches, as well as eye stress and tiredness when doing certain activities such as driving or playing sports. The increased use of screens, most of which are high contrast, like black text on a white page, or light text on a dark background, overstimulating our eyes, causing more eye growth in children and less time spent outdoors are to blame. A 2017 study published in JAMA Ophthalmology found a connection between increased natural light exposure and a decrease in nearsightedness, particularly in children and young adults. Exposure to natural light stimulates dopamine, a chemical which helps regulate normal growth and development of the eyeball. Indoor lighting doesn’t do the trick. Most people’s vision will stabilize in their teens, but some people develop nearsightedness later in life, typically between ages 20 and 40. Poor eyesight isn’t the only downside; people with nearsightedness are at a higher risk of developing eye issues as they age. That’s why regular eye exercise is crucial. 12. What is the function of the figures in paragraph 1? A. To draw the attention of WHO. B. To introduce the research methods. C. To explain the causes of nearsightedness. D. To illustrate the seriousness of nearsightedness. 13. What happens to the eyeballs of nearsighted children? A. They are out of shape. B. They grow into a sphere. C. They match the growth of heads. D.

Mine came recently when my wife and I stayed with our elder son in Los Angeles—our first visit in several years and the longest since he moved west in 2014. A whole week under his roof! “Dad, don’t leave the water running when you brush your teeth,” Nathaniel “advised” on our first night. All right, I figured, this is California, where drought is a concern. But I also got caught pulling extra paper towels to wipe the kitchen table on the second day and was instructed to use the dishcloth, which didn’t seem clean enough. More orders followed. Not to leave my out-of-date walking shoes sitting out, and did I even need such ugly footwear? Don’t wear a neck warmer when walking the dogs in the morning—it will warm up when we get to the park. Why drink so much soda water... At last, on the third day, I got a little bit angry and I wondered how I’d raised such a tyrant (暴君) and even wanted to argue with Nathaniel. I wanted to tell him how rude he was before his mom and I planned to head back on the fourth day. Then I remembered how often I threw the golden rule of parenting at Nathaniel and his sisters and brothers when they were young. “Some day, you’ll have a home of your own and can live however you want,” I’d say. “But now, you’ll have to do as we ask.” Now it was payback time. I remembered getting angry at my own father’s commands when growing up, how he always adjusted my collar or came into my room at dusk to draw the curtains. 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。 Feeling sorry, I walked to Nathaniel immediately. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Hugging me tightly in tears, Nathaniel kissed me for my understanding. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力1-5 ABBAB 6-10 CBBCB 11-15 AACAC 16-20 BCBAA 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
