The offer was irresistible, and I instantly knew my answer was yes. The trip seemed simple enough. Ten women, ranging from 30 to 45years old, all strangers, would gather on the Portuguese coast to accept the challenge of surfing the Atlantic waves. As a fan of travel, I quickly sought permission from my boss for this once-in-a-lifetime journey. Through my 33 years, I’ve observed a common adult tendency: We often limit ourselves to improving skills we already have. There’s a certain pride in improving our expert knowledge, becoming increasingly knowledgeable in our chosen fields, yet unintentionally, this focus often leaves other skills undeveloped and leads to ignoring other areas of potential growth. Two days later, I arrived in Ericeira, a charming surf town, where I met my surfing group. Despite our different personalities and backgrounds, we were all united in a passionate desire to challenge ourselves, learn, tackle and grow. The shores at Ericeira, where the beginners learn to surf, are shallow and covered with slippery rocks. They make for softer waves but are difficult to navigate (驾驭). Guided by our amazing coaches, together, we faced the waves. Sometimes, it poured with rain, and the waves crashed around us, but we were still out there. And with every slip and fall, words of encouragement filled the air. Honestly, I probably spent most of my days frozen to the bone, but that didn’t matter because a new level of genuine joy and personal achievement had been unlocked. Learning a new skill taught me the humbleness that can come from doing badly at something new, and the pride that develops when you finally manage to grasp something you’ve been working on. While surfing might not be my calling, trying it out inspired me to take more risks in life, to step outside of my comfort zone and to never stop believing in myself. You never know what you’re capable of if you don’t go out there and try. 4. What motivated the author to join the surf trip to Portugal? A. The longing to seek and enjoy a challenge. B. The need to reunite with a high school friend. C. The love to meet strangers with shared interest. D. The chance to undertake work duties in Portugal. 5. What is a common tendency among adults according to the author? A. They refuse to upgrade their professional skills. B. They tend to improve their existing skills only. C. They avoid exploring new areas on purpose. D. They are too proud to improve themselves. 6. Which of the following can best describe the author’s surfing experiences? A. Tough but worthwhile. B. Common and smooth. C. Boring and discouraging. D. Relaxing but unpredictable. 7. What does the text want to convey? A. Birds of a feather flock together. B. He who laughs last, laughs best. C. Life begins at the end of your comfort zone. D. The grass is always greener on the other side. C Initial conversations can have a huge impact on how relationships develop over time. People are often stuck in the impressions they think they might have made the minute they finish speaking with someone for the first time: “Did they like me or were they just being polite?” “Were they deep in thought or deeply bored?” To find out whether these worries are necessary, we have conducted nearly 10 years of research. In our studies, participants in the UK talked with someone they had never met before. Afterward, they were asked how much they liked their conversation partner and how much they believed that their conversation partner liked them. This allowed us to compare how much people believed they were liked to how much they were actually liked. Time and time again, we found that people left their conversations with negative feelings about the impression they made. That is, people systematically underestimate how much their conversation partners like them and enjoy their company—a false belief we call the “liking gap”: This bias (偏见) may seem like something that would occur only in initial interactions, but its effects extend far beyond a first impression. Surprisingly, the liking gap can constantly affect a variety of relationships, including interactions with coworkers, long after the initial conversations have taken place. Having a larger liking gap is associated with being less willing to ask workmates for help, less willing to provide workmates with open and honest feedback, and less willing to work on another project together. There are numerous strategies to minimize your biased feelings. One place to start is shifting your focus of attention. Try to direct your attention to your conversation partner be genuinely curious about them, ask them more questions, and really listen to their answers. The more you’re zeroed in on the other person, and the less you’re focused on yourself, the better your conversation will be and the less your mind will turn to all the things you think you didn’t do well. 8. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about? A. The research motivation. B. The research progress. C. The research assumptions. D. The research conclusions. 9. What is one effect of people’s liking gap? A. Fewer chances of new projects. B. Underestimation of their ability. C. Poor interpersonal relations. D. Lack of interest in social engagement. 10. What can the underlined words “zeroed in on” in the last paragraph be replaced by? A. Crazy about. B. Disappointed at. C. Surprised by. D. Targeted at. 11. Which might be the best title for the text? A. Liking Gap May Influence Social Performances B. Initial Conversations Decide First Impressions C. People Probably Like You More Than You Think D. How People Like You Matters Less Than You Assume D Whales are celebrated for being the largest and most intelligent creatures in the ocean. Now, biologists have discovered that they also capture (捕获) tons of carbon from the atmosphere, a service with an economic value of US $1 trillion for all the great whales, according to a new study published by the International Monetary Fund. The study points out that protecting whales, normally viewed as a human good, also has a monetary motivation. “The carbon capture potential of whales is truly incredible,” said the report. “Our conservative estimates put the value of the average great whale at more than US 82 million, and easily over US $1 trillion for the current stock of great whales.” Whales absorb carbon in their bodies during their long lives, some of which stretch to 200 years. When they die, they sink to the bottom of the ocean, taking the carbon with them. According to the study, each great whale traps around 33 tons of carbon dioxide on average. A tree during the same period only contributes to 3 percent of the carbon absorption of the whale. Whale populations are today a touch of what they once were. It is estimated that there are slightly more than 1.3 million whales in the ocean, a quarter of their pre-whaling number of 4 to 5 million. Some species in particular, like the blue whale, are only 3 percent of what they used to be. “We can create financial methods to promote the restoration of the world’s whale populations,” said the report’s authors. “Rewards could help those who pay significant costs as a result of whale protection.” With the Paris Agreement coming into force next year and the effects of climate change ever more widespread, we must prevent the harm to whales. Researchers analyzed that unless new methods are put forward, it would take over 30 years to double the number of current whales, and several generations to return them to their pre-whaling numbers. “Society and our own survival can’t afford to wait this long,” they said. 12. What does the new study reveal about whales? A. They are worth a lot of money. B. Their intelligence is incomparable. C. They are helpful in capturing carbon. D. Their survival is threatened by carbon. 13. Why is a tree mentioned in paragraph 2? A. To stress the importance of tree planting. B. To illustrate whales are friendly to the oceans. C. To emphasize whales’ carbon capture capacity. D. To present the environmental functions of trees. 14. What can be inferred about the whales from paragraph 3? A. Many people pay significant costs to protect them. B. Protection measures need to be taken urgently. C. Most species are in danger of extinction. D. Their population is on the increase. 15. How do the researchers feel about the current population of whales? A. Concerned. B. Indifferent. C. Optimistic. D. Doubtful. 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。 Conflicts happen a lot when people interact, especially kids.

Despite coming from a family with little money he was enthusiastic about learning and did well in his subjects. His mother, who worked as a nurse, is a living example of self-sufficiency and was his biggest supporter after his father left them. One of his classmates, Jake, who comes from a better-off family and thinks himself cleverer than any other person, always makes cruel jokes about Alex’s worn-out trainers and second-hand jacket at school. Although he sometimes feels depressed, Alex never lets this stop him from loving school and doing his best. One afternoon, during a survival skills class at school, Alex listened attentively as the teacher, Mr. Brown, an experienced outdoorsman, showed the class how to make a spark from a flint (打火石).“In survival situations,” the teacher said, “it’s not just about the physical, it’s about the mental strength to keep going.” Alex took these words to heart, his eyes shining with interest. On a school trip to the nearby forest, Alex and his classmates, including Jake, went on a hike. As the group went deeper into the forest, the undergrowth grew thicker and Alex found himself separated from the others. But it was Jake who really got lost. He wandered off the trail because he was proud and wanted to prove that he could navigate the forest on his own. As evening approached, Jake’s confidence began to slip and he found himself alone in the dark. Panic began to set in. He felt remorseful (懊悔的) and helpless and began to call for help in a shaky voice. That’s when Alex, who had been looking for a way back to the trail, found him. Jake, who was usually the one to make fun of him, was now standing there, looking humble and scared. His pride had been replaced by a look of concern. “Hey, Jake, it’s going to be OK,” Alex said, his voice calm and reassuring. “We’ll get through this together.” 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。 Alex remembered the survival skills he had learned in the survival classes. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Alex looked at Jake, surprised but touched by the sincerity in his voice. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024年春季学期学业水平检测试卷 高二英语 全卷满分150分。考试用时120分钟。 注意事项： 1. 答题前，先将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上，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，写在试题卷、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：用签字笔直接写在答题卡上对应的答题区域内。写在试题卷、草稿纸和答题卡上的非答题区域均无效。 4. 考试结束后，请将本试题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。 1.

The offer was irresistible, and I instantly knew my answer was yes. The trip seemed simple enough. Ten women, ranging from 30 to 45years old, all strangers, would gather on the Portuguese coast to accept the challenge of surfing the Atlantic waves. As a fan of travel, I quickly sought permission from my boss for this once-in-a-lifetime journey. Through my 33 years, I’ve observed a common adult tendency: We often limit ourselves to improving skills we already have. There’s a certain pride in improving our expert knowledge, becoming increasingly knowledgeable in our chosen fields, yet unintentionally, this focus often leaves other skills undeveloped and leads to ignoring other areas of potential growth. Two days later, I arrived in Ericeira, a charming surf town, where I met my surfing group. Despite our different personalities and backgrounds, we were all united in a passionate desire to challenge ourselves, learn, tackle and grow. The shores at Ericeira, where the beginners learn to surf, are shallow and covered with slippery rocks. They make for softer waves but are difficult to navigate (驾驭). Guided by our amazing coaches, together, we faced the waves. Sometimes, it poured with rain, and the waves crashed around us, but we were still out there. And with every slip and fall, words of encouragement filled the air. Honestly, I probably spent most of my days frozen to the bone, but that didn’t matter because a new level of genuine joy and personal achievement had been unlocked. Learning a new skill taught me the humbleness that can come from doing badly at something new, and the pride that develops when you finally manage to grasp something you’ve been working on. While surfing might not be my calling, trying it out inspired me to take more risks in life, to step outside of my comfort zone and to never stop believing in myself. You never know what you’re capable of if you don’t go out there and try. 4. What motivated the author to join the surf trip to Portugal? A. The longing to seek and enjoy a challenge. B. The need to reunite with a high school friend. C. The love to meet strangers with shared interest. D. The chance to undertake work duties in Portugal. 5. What is a common tendency among adults according to the author? A. They refuse to upgrade their professional skills. B. They tend to improve their existing skills only. C. They avoid exploring new areas on purpose. D. They are too proud to improve themselves. 6. Which of the following can best describe the author’s surfing experiences? A. Tough but worthwhile. B. Common and smooth. C. Boring and discouraging. D. Relaxing but unpredictable. 7. What does the text want to convey? A. Birds of a feather flock together. B. He who laughs last, laughs best. C. Life begins at the end of your comfort zone. D. The grass is always greener on the other side. 【答案】4. A 5. B 6. A 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章通过作者参加葡萄牙女性冲浪冒险之旅的经历，展示了尝试新技能和挑战自我舒适区的重要性。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“On a cold morning in May, I received a fascinating e-mail from a high school friend, inviting me to a 10-day all-female surfing adventure in Portugal. The offer was irresistible, and I instantly knew my answer was yes. (在5月一个寒冷的早晨，我收到了一位高中朋友发来的一封有趣的电子邮件，邀请我参加为期10天的葡萄牙女子冲浪冒险活动。这个提议是不可抗拒的，我立刻知道我的答案是肯定的。)”以及“As a fan of travel, I quickly sought permission from my boss for this once-in-a-lifetime journey.(作为一名旅行爱好者，我很快就得到了老板的许可，开始了这次千载难逢的旅行。)”可知，作者收到了高中朋友的邀请，并且觉得这是一个无法抗拒的提议，立即决定参加这次充满挑战的冲浪冒险，因此加入葡萄牙冲浪之旅的动机是渴望寻求和享受挑战。故选A。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“We often limit ourselves to improving skills we already have. There’s a certain pride in improving our expert knowledge, becoming increasingly knowledgeable in our chosen fields, yet unintentionally, this focus often leaves other skills undeveloped and leads to ignoring other areas of potential growth.( 我们常常把自己局限于提高已有的技能。提高我们的专业知识，在我们选择的领域变得越来越博学，这是一种自豪感，但无意中，这种关注往往使其他技能得不到发展，并导致忽视其他潜在的增长领域。)”可知，作者认为成年人有一种自豪感，即通过提高自己在所选领域的专业知识来变得越来越有知识，但这种关注往往无意中忽视了其他技能和潜在的发展领域即他们倾向于只提高自己现有的技能。故选B。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Guided by our amazing coaches, together, we faced the waves. Sometimes, it poured with rain, and the waves crashed around us, but we were still out there. And with every slip and fall, words of encouragement filled the air. Honestly, I probably spent most of my days frozen to the bone, but that didn’t matter because a new level of genuine joy and personal achievement had been unlocked. Learning a new skill taught me the humbleness that can come from doing badly at something new, and the pride that develops when you finally manage to grasp something you’ve been working on.(在我们出色的教练的带领下，我们一起面对海浪。有时，下着大雨，海浪在我们周围拍打，但我们仍然在那里。每一次滑倒，空气中都充满了鼓励的话语。老实说，我可能大部分时间都僵在骨头上，但这并不重要，因为真正的快乐和个人成就的新水平已经被解锁了。学习一项新技能教会了我在新事物上做得不好时的谦卑，以及当你最终掌握了你一直在做的事情时产生的自豪感。)”可知，第四段描述了作者和团队在艰难的条件下冲浪，如海滩的浅水和滑溜溜的岩石、雨水和巨大的波浪等。然而，尽管面临这些困难，作者仍然感到快乐和成就感，因为学习新技能带来了真正的快乐和个人成就即作者冲浪经历的是“艰难但值得”。故选A。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，作者受到了高中朋友的邀请，决定参加这次由不同年龄段的陌生女性组成的10天冲浪活动。尽管面临诸多困难，如不同的个性和背景、陌生的冲浪环境以及学习新技能的挑战，作者和队友们还是克服重重难关，最终体会到了学习新技能的乐趣和成就感。作者认为，尝试新事物和走出舒适区能够激发个人的潜力和自信心，同时也鼓励读者要勇于挑战自我，不断探索新的可能性。作者通过描述自己尝试冲浪的经历，强调了走出舒适区、接受挑战和相信自己的重要性。C选项“Life begins at the end of your comfort zone.(生活从你舒适区的尽头开始。)”符合题意。故选C。 C Initial conversations can have a huge impact on how relationships develop over time. People are often stuck in the impressions they think they might have made the minute they finish speaking with someone for the first time: “Did they like me or were they just being polite?” “Were they deep in thought or deeply bored?” To find out whether these worries are necessary, we have conducted nearly 10 years of research. In our studies, participants in the UK talked with someone they had never met before. Afterward, they were asked how much they liked their conversation partner and how much they believed that their conversation partner liked them. This allowed us to compare how much people believed they were liked to how much they were actually liked. Time and time again, we found that people left their conversations with negative feelings about the impression they made. That is, people systematically underestimate how much their conversation partners like them and enjoy their company—a false belief we call the “liking gap”: This bias (偏见) may seem like something that would occur only in initial interactions, but its effects extend far beyond a first impression. Surprisingly, the liking gap can constantly affect a variety of relationships, including interactions with coworkers, long after the initial conversations have taken place. Having a larger liking gap is associated with being less willing to ask workmates for help, less willing to provide workmates with open and honest feedback, and less willing to work on another project together. There are numerous strategies to minimize your biased feelings. One place to start is shifting your focus of attention. Try to direct your attention to your conversation partner, be genuinely curious about them, ask them more questions, and really listen to their answers. The more you’re zeroed in on the other person, and the less you’re focused on yourself, the better your conversation will be and the less your mind will turn to all the things you think you didn’t do well. 8. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about? A. The research motivation. B. The research progress. C. The research assumptions. D. The research conclusions. 9. What is one effect of people’s liking gap? A. Fewer chances of new projects. B. Underestimation of their ability. C. Poor interpersonal relations. D. Lack of interest in social engagement. 10. What can the underlined words “zeroed in on” in the last paragraph be replaced by? A. Crazy about. B. Disappointed at. C. Surprised by. D. Targeted at. 11. Which might be the best title for the text? A. Liking Gap May Influence Social Performances B Initial Conversations Decide First Impressions C. People Probably Like You More Than You Think D. How People Like You Matters Less Than You Assume 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. D 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文探讨了初次交谈对人际关系发展的巨大影响，指出人们在初次交谈后常常对自己留给对方的印象感到不安。文章强调的是：人们可能比你想象的更喜欢你，我们应该更加自信地与人交往。 【8题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段中“In our studies, participants in the UK talked with someone they had never met before. Afterward, they were asked how much they liked their conversation partner and how much they believed that their conversation partner liked them. This allowed us to compare how much people believed they were liked to how much they were actually liked. (在我们的研究中，英国的参与者与他们从未见过的人交谈。之后，他们被问及他们有多喜欢他们的谈话对象，以及他们认为他们的谈话对象有多喜欢他们。这让我们可以比较人们认为自己被喜欢的程度和实际被喜欢的程度。)”可知，本段解释了研究过程即人们在初次交谈后常常对自己留给对方的印象感到不安，为了找出这些担忧是否必要，进行了近10年的研究。因此本段是在讲述研究的过程。故选B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Surprisingly, the liking gap can constantly affect a variety of relationships, including interactions with coworkers, long after the initial conversations have taken place. Having a larger liking gap is associated with being less willing to ask workmates for help, less willing to provide workmates with open and honest feedback, and less willing to work on another project together. (令人惊讶的是，这种喜好差距会持续影响各种关系，包括与同事的互动，即使在最初的对话发生很久之后。李王差距越大，就越不愿意向同事寻求帮助，越不愿意向同事提供公开和诚实的反馈，越不愿意一起完成另一个项目。)”可知，更大的喜欢差距与不太愿意向同事寻求帮助、不太愿意向同事提供开放和诚实的反馈以及不太愿意一起合作另一个项目有关，这些行为都指向了较差的人际关系。故人们的“喜欢差距”产生的影响是较差的人际关系。故选C。 【10题详解】 词义猜测题。根据划线词前面的内容“Try to direct your attention to your conversation partner, be genuinely curious about them, ask them more questions, and really listen to their answers. (试着把你的注意力转移到你的谈话对象身上，真诚地对他们感到好奇，问他们更多的问题，并认真倾听他们的回答。)”以及划线词后面的内容“... and the less you’re focused on yourself, the better your conversation will be and the less your mind will turn to all the things you think you didn’t do well. (……你对自己的关注越少，你的谈话就会越好，你就越不会去想那些你认为自己做得不好的事情。)”可知，此处建议尝试把注意力转移到谈话对象的身上，而不是专注于自己，当你更专注于对方而不是自己时，你的对话会更好，你的思维也不会总是转到你认为你没有做好的事情上。故划线词与D选项“Targeted at. (专注于；针对)”为同义词。故选D。 11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Initial conversations can have a huge impact on how relationships develop over time. People are often stuck in the impressions they think they might have made the minute they finish speaking with someone for the first time (最初的对话会对关系的发展产生巨大的影响。人们通常会陷入他们认为自己在第一次与某人交谈时可能留下的印象中)”以及通读全文，文章讨论了人们常常低估自己在初次交谈中给对方留下的印象，即存在“喜欢差距”，并提出了减少这种偏见感受的策略。因此文章强调：你不需要过分担心自己给别人的印象，因为别人可能比你想象的更喜欢你。C选项“People Probably Like You More Than You Think (人们可能比你想象的更喜欢你)”概括文章主要内容，符合标题。故选C。 D Whales are celebrated for being the largest and most intelligent creatures in the ocean. Now, biologists have discovered that they also capture (捕获) tons of carbon from the atmosphere, a service with an economic value of US $1 trillion for all the great whales, according to a new study published by the International Monetary Fund. The study points out that protecting whales, normally viewed as a human good, also has a monetary motivation. “The carbon capture potential of whales is truly incredible,” said the report. “Our conservative estimates put the value of the average great whale at more than US 82 million, and easily over US $1 trillion for the current stock of great whales.” Whales absorb carbon in their bodies during their long lives, some of which stretch to 200 years. When they die, they sink to the bottom of the ocean, taking the carbon with them. According to the study, each great whale traps around 33 tons of carbon dioxide on average. A tree during the same period only contributes to 3 percent of the carbon absorption of the whale. Whale populations are today a touch of what they once were. It is estimated that there are slightly more than 1.3 million whales in the ocean, a quarter of their pre-whaling number of 4 to 5 million. Some species in particular, like the blue whale, are only 3 percent of what they used to be. “We can create financial methods to promote the restoration of the world’s whale populations,” said the report’s authors. “Rewards could help those who pay significant costs as a result of whale protection.” With the Paris Agreement coming into force next year and the effects of climate change ever more widespread, we must prevent the harm to whales. Researchers analyzed that unless new methods are put forward, it would take over 30 years to double the number of current whales, and several generations to return them to their pre-whaling numbers. “Society and our own survival can’t afford to wait this long,” they said. 12. What does the new study reveal about whales? A. They are worth a lot of money. B. Their intelligence is incomparable. C. They are helpful in capturing carbon. D. Their survival is threatened by carbon. 13. Why is a tree mentioned in paragraph 2? A. To stress the importance of tree planting. B. To illustrate whales are friendly to the oceans. C. To emphasize whales’ carbon capture capacity. D. To present the environmental functions of trees. 14. What can be inferred about the whales from paragraph 3? A. Many people pay significant costs to protect them. B. Protection measures need to be taken urgently. C. Most species are in danger of extinction. D. Their population is on the increase. 15. How do the researchers feel about the current population of whales? A. Concerned. B. Indifferent. C. Optimistic. D. Doubtful. 【答案】12. C 13. C 14. B 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文属于说明文，主要介绍了关于鲸鱼的一项新研究发现及其对碳捕获的经济价值，同时也讨论了鲸鱼保护的紧迫性和现状。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第一段“Whales are celebrated for being the largest and most intelligent creatures in the ocean. Now, biologists have discovered that they also capture (捕获) tons of carbon from the atmosphere, a service with an economic value of US $1 trillion for all the great whales, according to a new study published by the International Monetary Fund. The study points out that protecting whales, normally viewed as a human good, also has a monetary motivation. (鲸鱼被认为是海洋中最大、最聪明的生物。根据国际货币基金组织发表的一项新研究，生物学家发现它们还从大气中捕获了数吨的碳，这一服务对所有大型鲸鱼来说都具有1万亿美元的经济价值。该研究指出，保护鲸鱼，通常被视为人类的利益，也有金钱动机。)”可知，新研究表明鲸鱼在捕获碳方面具有重要价值，鲸鱼对于捕捉碳是有帮助的。故选C。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第二段““The carbon capture potential of whales is truly incredible,” said the report. “Our conservative estimates put the value of the average great whale at more than US 82 million, and easily over US $1 trillion for the current stock of great whales.” Whales absorb carbon in their bodies during their long lives, some of which stretch to 200 years. When they die, they sink to the bottom of the ocean, taking the carbon with them. According to the study, each great whale traps around 33 tons of carbon dioxide on average. A tree during the same period only contributes to 3 percent of the carbon absorption of the whale. (报告称：“鲸鱼的碳捕获潜力确实令人难以置信。”“我们保守估计，每头巨鲸的平均价值超过8200万美元，而目前的巨鲸存量很容易超过1万亿美元。”鲸鱼在它们漫长的生命中吸收体内的碳，其中一些寿命长达200年。当它们死亡时，它们会带着碳沉入海底。根据这项研究，每头鲸鱼平均能捕获33吨二氧化碳。在同一时期，一棵树只贡献了鲸鱼碳吸收的3%。)”可知，这里提到树是为了通过对比强调鲸鱼在碳捕获方面的巨大能力。故选C。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第三段“Whale populations are today a touch of what they once were. It is estimated that there are slightly more than 1.3 million whales in the ocean, a quarter of their pre-whaling number of 4 to 5 million. Some species in particular, like the blue whale, are only 3 percent of what they used to be. “We can create financial methods to promote the restoration of the world’s whale populations,” said the report’s authors. “Rewards could help those who pay significant costs as a result of whale protection.” (如今，鲸鱼的数量与过去略有不同。据估计，海洋中有130多万头鲸鱼，是捕鲸前400万至500万头的四分之一。特别是一些物种，如蓝鲸，只剩下过去的3%。该报告的作者说：“我们可以创造财务方法来促进世界鲸鱼种群的恢复。”。“奖励可以帮助那些因保护鲸鱼而支付巨额费用的人。”)”可知，鲸鱼保护措施需要紧急采取，以防止它们的数量进一步减少。故选B。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。从第四段“With the Paris Agreement coming into force next year and the effects of climate change ever more widespread, we must prevent the harm to whales. Researchers analyzed that unless new methods are put forward, it would take over 30 years to double the number of current whales, and several generations to return them to their pre-whaling numbers. “Society and our own survival can’t afford to wait this long,” they said. (随着《巴黎协定》明年生效，气候变化的影响越来越广泛，我们必须防止对鲸鱼的伤害。研究人员分析说，除非提出新的方法，否则将需要30多年才能使目前的鲸鱼数量翻一番，并需要几代人才能使它们恢复到捕鲸前的数量。他们说：“社会和我们自己的生存不能等这么久。”。)”可知，他们对当前鲸鱼种群数量的担忧。故选A。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Conflicts happen a lot when people interact, especially kids.

Despite coming from a family with little money, he was enthusiastic about learning and did well in his subjects. His mother, who worked as a nurse, is a living example of self-sufficiency and was his biggest supporter after his father left them. One of his classmates, Jake, who comes from a better-off family and thinks himself cleverer than any other person, always makes cruel jokes about Alex’s worn-out trainers and second-hand jacket at school. Although he sometimes feels depressed, Alex never lets this stop him from loving school and doing his best. One afternoon, during a survival skills class at school, Alex listened attentively as the teacher, Mr. Brown, an experienced outdoorsman, showed the class how to make a spark from a flint (打火石).“In survival situations,” the teacher said, “it’s not just about the physical, it’s about the mental strength to keep going.” Alex took these words to heart, his eyes shining with interest. On a school trip to the nearby forest, Alex and his classmates, including Jake, went on a hike. As the group went deeper into the forest, the undergrowth grew thicker and Alex found himself separated from the others. But it was Jake who really got lost. He wandered off the trail because he was proud and wanted to prove that he could navigate the forest on his own. As evening approached, Jake’s confidence began to slip and he found himself alone in the dark. Panic began to set in. He felt remorseful (懊悔的) and helpless and began to call for help in a shaky voice. That’s when Alex, who had been looking for a way back to the trail, found him. Jake, who was usually the one to make fun of him, was now standing there, looking humble and scared. His pride had been replaced by a look of concern. “Hey, Jake, it’s going to be OK,” Alex said, his voice calm and reassuring. “We’ll get through this together.” 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。 Alex remembered the survival skills he had learned in the survival classes. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Alex looked at Jake, surprised but touched by the sincerity in his voice. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Alex remembered the survival skills he had learned in the survival classes. He quickly gathered fallen branches and dry leaves to create a small fire. Using the flint, he struck it against a rock until a spark ignited the tinder. The flickering light illuminated the darkness, giving Jake some sense of comfort. Alex then led Jake to a safe spot where they could wait for the rescue team. The boys talked quietly, sharing stories and jokes to keep their spirits up. Alex told Jake that no one was better than anyone else, just different, and that being kind to others was more important than being clever. Alex looked at Jake, surprised but touched by the sincerity in his voice. He had never seen Jake so vulnerable or humble. Jake thanked Alex for finding him and apologized for his past bullying. He promised to be a better friend from now on. Alex nodded, accepting the apology with a smile. As the night deepened, the boys heard the distant sound of rescue helicopters. They cheered and waved their arms, signaling their location. As they were reunited with their classmates and teachers, Alex felt a sense of accomplishment washing over him. He had not only survived the ordeal, but he had also helped someone in need, and in doing so, had gained a true friend. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，文章讲述了一个名叫Alex的10岁男孩，经常受到家境优渥但自大的同学Jake的嘲笑，但他从不气馁。一次在野外生存课程中，Alex学习了如何使用打火石制造火源，并在一次学校组织的森林徒步活动中，利用这些技能帮助了迷路的Jake。在共同面对困境的过程中，二人共同克服困难，并最终成为好友。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“Alex想起了他在生存课上学到的生存技能。”可知，第一段可描写Alex点火自救的过程以及和Jake之间的真诚对话。 ②由第二段首句内容“Alex看着Jake，惊讶但又被他声音中的真诚打动。”可知，第二段可描写Jake向其道歉，感激Alex的救助，Alex接受道歉且最终在急救人员的救助下走出困境，最终二人成为好友。 2.续写线索： 点火照亮取暖——Alex安慰Jake——Jake向Alex道歉——Alex接受道歉等待救援人员到来——最终脱离险境——最终二人成为好友 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①收集：gather→collect ②.点火：create the fire→ignite the fire ③.道歉：apologize→make an apology 情绪类 ①.惊讶的：surprised→amazed ②.感动的：touched→moved 【点睛】[高分句型1].  Alex then led Jake to a safe spot where they could wait for the rescue team. （由引导词where引导的定语从句） [高分句型2].
