Once again, Vienna has been named the world’s most livable city, and we’re suddenly craving Sachertorte and a cup of coffee. In its newly released Global Liveability Index for 2022, the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) looked at 172 cities worldwide, assessing 30 livability factors across five categories: stability, health care, culture and environment, education, and infrastructure (基础设施). Vienna, which ended up with an index rating of 99.1, topped the list, followed by Copenhagen (98.0) and Zurich (96.3) “Stability and good infrastructure are Vienna’s main charms for its inhabitants (居民), supported by good healthcare and plenty of opportunities for culture and entertainment,” the EIU wrote in its report. The City of Music has plenty to offer to keep its residents occupied. Music lovers will want to spend their evenings at the State Opera, while art enthusiasts and history buffs will enjoy diving into the city’s 100-plus museums. And when you need to take it slow, Vienna’s cozy coffeehouses provide the perfect setting for catching up with friends. Vienna, which ranked first in 2018 and 2019, dropped down to 12th place in 2021 due to pandemic-related museum and restaurant closures. “For the past two years, EIU’s global liveability rankings have been largely driven by the pandemic, with lockdowns and social distancing measures affecting scores for culture, education, and healthcare in cities across the world,” said the report. “However, in our most recent survey, the index has normalized, as restrictions have been lifted in many countries.” Want more information about other liveable cities? Click our website. 1. What significantly appeals to the locals in Vienna by the EIU report in 2022? A. Stability and environment. B. Education and Health care. C. Health care and culture. D. Basic facilities and stability. 2. What can the residents in Vienna easily enjoy according to the text? A. Gaining free health care. B. Performing at the State Opera. C.

Many people use this technology to unlock their phones, open doors or pay quickly, but there is a problem-someone is wearing masks. What a hassle! Now, the companies have improved their technology. Facial recognition technology can now know people even if they are wearing a mask. Beijing-based tech company Hanwang has announced a software which can correctly recognize 95 percent of people wearing masks, Engineering & Technology (E&T) reported. What’s the secret? It’s all about your eyes. Marios Savvides, a professor at Carnegie Mellon University, US, studies facial recognition technology. As we get older, he said, our faces change shape, but not the area around our eyes. It stays the same-even if we put on weight. Facial recognition software is about more than just unlocking your phone. It’s about public safety. For example, you don’t need to take an ID card, which can be lost or stolen. It also means that virus isn’t spread by touching things, said NEC’s Shinya Takeshima. “Touchless check has become very important to some infectious diseases,” he said to Reuters. “We hope to do something for safety and peace of mind.” More than that, facial recognition can be used to fight crime. “It can tell criminals and terrorists,” said Huang Lei, one of Hanwang’s leaders. Hanwang’s technology is used by police in high-security settings. This means places like government buildings, subway stations and airports. Similar technology is used by the United States Air Force and other governments. Huang talks about one big weakness of this technology. “It fails when people wear both a mask and sunglasses. In this situation, all of the key facial information is lost,” Huang said to E&T. 8. What is the closest meaning of the underlined word “hassle” in paragraph 1? A. Trouble. B. Mistake. C. Rule. D. Habit. 9. The facial recognition software that can identify people with masks mainly depends on ______. A. the forehead B. the eye region C. the shape of faces D. the facial expressions 10. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about? A. The future of facial recognition technology. B. Different types of facial recognition software. C. The advantages of facial recognition technology. D The problems with current facial recognition technology. 11. What is the attitude of Mr Huang toward facial technology? A. Objective. B. Favorable. C. Worried. D. Negative. 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了科技公司已经更新了面部识别技术，使其可以识别戴着口罩的人，并介绍了更新的面部识别技术能识别戴着口罩的人的原因，以及面部识别技术的优势。 【8题详解】 词义猜测题。根据划线词上文“Facial recognition cameras are everywhere, including in your smart phone. Many people use this technology to unlock their phones, open doors or pay quickly, but there is a problem-someone is wearing masks.(面部识别摄像头无处不在，包括你的智能手机。许多人使用这项技术解锁手机、开门或快速付款，但有一个问题——有人戴着口罩)”可知人们用面部识别技术来解锁手机、开门、付款，这些都需要能看到脸部，但是人们都戴口罩，而且不能快速取下来，所以这个给面部识别造成不便，即这时候戴口罩是一件麻烦事，故推知划线单词“hassle”意思为“麻烦”。故选A。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“As we get older, he said, our faces change shape, but not the area around our eyes. It stays the same-even if we put on weight.(他说，随着年龄的增长，我们的脸会改变形状，但眼睛周围的区域不会改变。即使我们长胖了，它也不会变)”可知，面部识别软件能够识别戴口罩的人，主要依靠眼睛区域。故选B。 【10题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段“More than that, facial recognition can be used to fight crime. “It can tell criminals and terrorists,” said Huang Lei, one of Hanwang’s leaders. Hanwang’s technology is used by police in high-security settings. This means places like government buildings, subway stations and airports. Similar technology is used by the United States Air Force and other governments.(不仅如此，面部识别还可以用来打击犯罪。“它可以分辨罪犯和恐怖分子，”汉旺的领导人之一黄磊说。汉王的技术被警方用于高度安全的环境中。这指的是政府大楼、地铁站和机场等地方。美国空军和其他政府也在使用类似的技术)”可知，本段讲述的是人脸识别技术的优势。故选C。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“ “It can tell criminals and terrorists,” said Huang Lei, one of Hanwang’s leaders. (“它可以分辨罪犯和恐怖分子，”汉王的领导人之一黄磊说)”以及最后一段“Huang talks about one big weakness of this technology. “It fails when people wear both a mask and sunglasses. In this situation, all of the key facial information is lost,” Huang said to E&T.(黄谈到了这项技术的一大弱点。“当人们既戴口罩又戴太阳镜时，它就失效了。在这种情况下，所有关键的面部信息都丢失了。”)”可知，提到了好处和缺点，可知黄是客观态度。故选A。 D A group of clams (河蚌) recently caught people’s attention after an article was posted by China Science Communication online. Although these clams are usually regarded as nothing more than delicious food, they work to monitor the local water quality in Poland. Gruba Kaska pumping station, which stands in the River Wisla, helps provide millions of liters of water to Warsaw, the capital of Poland. However, one particular concern for the water quality has been heavy metals, and researchers sought help from nature to solve this problem. Clams are sensitive to pollutants in their environment as they filter (过滤) water to feed on microorganisms (微生物). They shut their shells immediately after detecting “dangerous” water. Based on this, the researchers selected eight clams at a time and recorded the natural opening of their shells. After the clam “employees” become accustomed to the local water, they are placed in a specially designed container. With sensors stuck onto their shells, the clams are connected to a system that records how wide the shells are open. If four or more clams close their shells at the same time, an alarm will be set off and the water supply will be shut down. The result is reliable because the creatures are considering many different factors at the same time, according to ZME Science. Animals have long been helpers for human activities. Farmers in north Queensland, Australia, have been ordering different species of dung beetles (屎壳郎) to help clean up cattle waste, according to ABC News. As the number of cattle grows, their waste increases, leading to an enormous population of flies and a worsening environment. Dung beetles, however, take the waste and bury it. This way, they help improve soil quality. Similarly, cockroaches are used to deal with kitchen waste at several firms in China, according to a report of The Beijing News. About 300 million cockroaches are fed 15 tons of food waste on a daily basis, and they themselves are a good protein resource for livestock. 12. What is the new usage of clams? A. To solve the food shortage. B. To relieve people’s anxiety. C. To remove heavy metals sooner. D. To check the water quality. 13. What does “this” in paragraph 4 probably refer to? A. The clams are used to the local water. B. The clams prefer to close their shells. C. The clams are regarded as delicious food. D. The clams are sensitive to polluted water. 14. How did the researchers obtain the research finding? A. By selecting different kinds of clams. B. By referring to some historical records. C. By analysing the results of the records. D. By interviewing some experts of ZME Science. 15. What can be the best title for the text? A. Animals, Good Helpers of Humans B. Three Kinds of Amazing Animals C. A Special Way to Test Water Quality D. Animals, Far More than Tasty Food 【答案】12. D 13. D 14. C 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章通过介绍河蚌在波兰用于监测水质的创新方法，以及其他动物如屎壳郎和蟑螂在不同场景下对人类的帮助，展现了动物在环境保护和资源处理中的实用价值，具有科普教育的意义。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Although these clams are usually regarded as nothing more than delicious food, they work to monitor the local water quality in Poland. (虽然这些河蚌通常被认为只是美味的食物，但它们在波兰监测当地的水质。)”和第三段中的“They shut their shells immediately after detecting “dangerous” water. (它们在探测到“危险”水后立即关闭壳。)”可知，河蚌的新用途是监测水质，当它们检测到“危险”的水时，会立即关闭壳，从而帮助人们判断水质是否受到污染。故选D。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中的“They shut their shells immediately after detecting “dangerous” water. (它们在探测到“危险”水后立即关闭壳。)”和第四段中的“Based on this, the researchers selected eight clams at a time and recorded the natural opening of their shells. (在此基础上，研究人员一次选择了8只河蚌，并记录了它们壳的自然打开。)”可知，第四段中的this指代前面提到的内容，即河蚌对污染水体的敏感性，它们会在检测到污染物时闭合壳，基于这一特性，研究人员设计了监测系统。故选D。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Based on this, the researchers selected eight clams at a time and recorded the natural opening of their shells. After the clam “employees” become accustomed to the local water, they are placed in a specially designed container. With sensors stuck onto their shells, the clams are connected to a system that records how wide the shells are open. If four or more clams close their shells at the same time, an alarm will be set off and the water supply will be shut down. The result is reliable because the creatures are considering many different factors at the same time, according to ZME Science. (在此基础上，研究人员一次选择了8只河蚌，并记录了它们壳的自然打开。在河蚌“雇员”习惯了当地的水之后，它们被放置在一个特别设计的容器中。这些河蚌壳上装有传感器，它们与一个系统相连，该系统可以记录蛤壳张开的宽度。如果四只或四只以上的河蚌同时合上壳，就会发出警报，并关闭供水。根据ZME Science的说法，这个结果是可靠的，因为这些生物同时考虑了许多不同的因素。)”可知，研究人员通过记录河蚌自然开壳的情况，并分析这些记录结果，得出了研究发现。故选C。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是由文章第一段中的“Although these clams are usually regarded as nothing more than delicious food, they work to monitor the local water quality in Poland. (虽然这些河蚌通常被认为只是美味的食物，但它们在波兰监测当地的水质。)”和倒数第二段中的“Farmers in north Queensland, Australia, have been ordering different species of dung beetles (屎壳郎) to help clean up cattle waste, according to ABC News. (据美国广播公司新闻报道，澳大利亚昆士兰州北部的农民一直在订购不同种类的屎壳郎来帮助清理牛的粪便。)”和最后一段中的“Similarly, cockroaches are used to deal with kitchen waste at several firms in China, according to a report of The Beijing News. (同样，据《新京报》的一篇报道，中国的几家公司也用蟑螂来处理厨房垃圾。)”可知，文章主要介绍了河蚌、屎壳郎和蟑螂这三种动物如何在不同领域帮助人类，包括监测水质、处理粪便和转化厨房垃圾等，展现了动物作为人类好帮手的角色。因此，最合适的标题是选项A“Animals, Good Helpers of Humans (动物，人类的好帮手)”。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。 How do people respond when you have a talk with them?

Sometimes you may have a difficult conversation or come into conflict with others. If you get cross, people won’t take you seriously because they’ll think you’re too emotional and unreasonable.

The classroom suddenly got filled with eager voices as classmates enthusiastically shared their dreams. “I want to be a college professor,” said Sarah confidently. “I dream of becoming a basketball player,” exclaimed Mike with light in his eye. The air was filled with dreams of doctors, nurses, police and various professions. When Mrs. Green turned her attention to me, inquiring about my future career, I hesitated. “I don’t know yet,” I admitted. Then she asked if I wished to follow in my dad’s footsteps. “No,” I replied firmly. My dad is a distinguished doctor with a demanding schedule, who often finds himself engaged in the responsibilities of his job. Thus, he often return s home late in the evening. The limited time we spent together during my growth created a noticeable distance in our relationship. I had such a lot to complain about his job and thus being a doctor would be the last option I would take. Upon hearing my response, Mrs. Green remained silent. Instead, she encouraged me to reflect further. A turning point came when our school organized a cultural festival. It was an important event, and we had been preparing for it for a long time. For my role, I needed to purchase a costume. Unfortunately, my mother was abroad, so the responsibility fell on my father. Unwillingly, I agreed, acknowledging that there was no other choice. In the mall, my dad’s unfamiliarity with the shopping list became apparent. Despite Mom’s thorough list, we wandered aimlessly through the floors, struggling to find the necessary items. As we did, I felt a growing sense of discomfort. Suddenly, a chaos drew our attention. A crowd had gathered, and someone was shouting for help. It turned out that an elderly customer had a fall, and onlookers were at a loss on how to assist. 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。 Without hesitation, my father rushed forward. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ For the first time, I felt a sense of pride in his work. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Without hesitation, my father rushed forward. He pushed through the crowd, his demeanor calm and collected despite the chaos around him. Kneeling beside the elderly customer, he quickly assessed the situation and instructed bystanders to call an ambulance. With gentle hands, he comforted the frightened old man, assuring him that help was on the way. As he tended to the injured, my father’s expertise as a doctor shone through, and I couldn’t help but be impressed. His actions spoke louder than any words ever could, showing me a side of him I had never seen before. The crowd dispersed, and when the ambulance arrived, my father carefully explained the situation to the paramedics before they took the elderly man away. Standing there, watching him, I realized that being a doctor wasn’t just about long hours and sacrifices; it was also about making a difference in people’s lives. For the first time, I felt a sense of pride in his work. As we walked out of the mall, I couldn’t help but ask him about his experiences as a doctor, and he shared stories of the moments that had brought him joy and fulfillment. I listened intently, seeing him in a new light. That night, when he returned home late, instead of feeling annoyed, I greeted him with a hug and thanked him for what he did. From then on, our relationship began to mend, and I found myself looking up to him in a way I never had before. My perspective on his job changed, and I realized that being a doctor wasn’t just a demanding profession; it was a calling that allowed him to touch lives and make a real impact. As I grew older, I even found myself considering following in his footsteps, inspired by his dedication and compassion. 【解析】 【导语】文章以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者在回答老师关于梦想职业的提问时，表达了自己对成为医生（像父亲一样）的抗拒，因为父亲作为医生工作繁忙，导致他们之间关系疏远。然而，在学校组织的一次文化节活动中，作者与父亲一同购物时遇到了一位摔倒的老人，父亲毫不犹豫地冲上前去提供帮助。这一事件成为了作者对父亲职业看法的转折点，让他开始重新审视并可能重新考虑自己未来职业的选择。文章通过这一经历，展现了作者对父亲职业态度的转变，以及对人生和职业选择更深层次的思考。. 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容“父亲毫不犹豫地冲上前去。”可知，第一段可描写父亲对老人进行急救的过程以及作者思想发生了转变。 ②由第二段首句内容“我第一次为他的工作感到骄傲。”可知，第二段可描写父亲和作者分享做医生的经历以及作者对父亲的职业看法的转变以及进行更加深入的思考。 2.续写线索：父亲指挥急救——作者的感悟——询问父亲的经历——父亲分享工作经历——关系修复——重新审视父亲的职业 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①评估：assess/estimate ②解释：explain/account for ③修复：mend/restore ④意识到：realize/be aware of 情绪类 ①恼怒的：annoyed/irritated ②感谢：thank/appreciate 【点睛】[高分句型1] Standing there, watching him, I realized that being a doctor wasn’t just about long hours and sacrifices; it was also about making a difference in people’s lives.（运用了现在分词作状语，that引导宾语从句） [高分句型2] As I grew older, I even found myself considering following in his footsteps, inspired by his dedication and compassion.（运用了as引导时间状语从句，过去分词作状语） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024年春季高二年期末质量监测英语试题 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?

Once again, Vienna has been named the world’s most livable city, and we’re suddenly craving Sachertorte and a cup of coffee. In its newly released Global Liveability Index for 2022, the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) looked at 172 cities worldwide, assessing 30 livability factors across five categories: stability, health care, culture and environment, education, and infrastructure (基础设施). Vienna, which ended up with an index rating of 99.1, topped the list, followed by Copenhagen (98.0) and Zurich (96.3) “Stability and good infrastructure are Vienna’s main charms for its inhabitants (居民), supported by good healthcare and plenty of opportunities for culture and entertainment,” the EIU wrote in its report. The City of Music has plenty to offer to keep its residents occupied. Music lovers will want to spend their evenings at the State Opera, while art enthusiasts and history buffs will enjoy diving into the city’s 100-plus museums. And when you need to take it slow, Vienna’s cozy coffeehouses provide the perfect setting for catching up with friends. Vienna, which ranked first in 2018 and 2019, dropped down to 12th place in 2021 due to pandemic-related museum and restaurant closures. “For the past two years, EIU’s global liveability rankings have been largely driven by the pandemic, with lockdowns and social distancing measures affecting scores for culture, education, and healthcare in cities across the world,” said the report. “However, in our most recent survey, the index has normalized, as restrictions have been lifted in many countries.” Want more information about other liveable cities? Click our website. 1. What significantly appeals to the locals in Vienna by the EIU report in 2022? A. Stability and environment. B. Education and Health care. C. Health care and culture. D. Basic facilities and stability. 2. What can the residents in Vienna easily enjoy according to the text? A. Gaining free health care. B. Performing at the State Opera. C.

Compare the most livable cities. D. Highlight Global Liveability Index. B “Studying in China changed my life and helped to advance my career,” says Milagrosa Ada Micha, chairperson of the Republic of Equatorial Guinea’s leading magazine Real Equatorial Guinea in a recent interview with Xinhua. China’s profound culture and its enormous potential for economic development prompted her decision to pursue higher education in the country, she says. In 2013 Ada Micha began her journey at Central China Normal University in Hubei province to undertake a language preparatory course. From 2014 to 2018, she immersed herself in undergraduate studies in international trade at the University of International Business and Economics in Beijing. “China has become my second home. My time in China has changed the way I think,” says Ada Micha, explaining that the Chinese people’s self-discipline and diligent work ethic have deeply influenced and benefited her since. While studying in Beijing in 2015, Ada Micha founded her magazine Real Equatorial Guinea. “At that time, many people didn’t know much about my country. They always thought Equatorial Guinea was in South America and there weren’t many positive stories about it on the internet,” she says. “I decided to establish a magazine published in Spanish, Chinese and English to introduce the real Equatorial Guinea to the world.” Today, her magazine is an officially recognized media outlet in Equatorial Guinea and continues to gain reputation. Ada Micha praises China’s role in developing talent in various fields, including technology, agriculture, infrastructure and media, from which many young people in Equatorial Guinea have benefited. “China is a great country that especially helps African countries, and its support is crucial for my country’s development,” she says, highlighting that Chinese infrastructure projects in Equatorial Guinea provide skills training and employment opportunities for the youth. “Thanks to my experiences in China, I am who I am today. China is open to everyone if you genuinely intend to learn. Seize the opportunity to study in China; you won’t regret it.” she adds. 4. What made Ada Micha come to China for further study? A. Her great passion for China. B. Her desire for further research about China. C. China’s colorful culture and fast-growing economy. D. Her ambition of contributing to her country. 5. Why did Ada Micha found her magazine Real Equatorial Guinea? A. To make pursuit for fame and status. B. To make Guinea known to the world. C. To make a profit from the magazine. D. To introduce her motherland to China. 6. What did Ada Micha emphasize for the development of the young people in Guinea? A. The influence of Chinese culture. B. The guideline of the local government. C. The hard work of the young people. D. The benefits of Chinese projects. 7. What can we learn from Ada Micha’s story? A. Great hopes make great man. B. Success favors those willing to learn. C. No way is impossible to courage. D. Knowledge starts with practice. C Facial recognition cameras are everywhere, including in your smart phone. Many people use this technology to unlock their phones, open doors or pay quickly, but there is a problem-someone is wearing masks. What a hassle! Now, the companies have improved their technology. Facial recognition technology can now know people even if they are wearing a mask. Beijing-based tech company Hanwang has announced a software which can correctly recognize 95 percent of people wearing masks, Engineering & Technology (E&T) reported. What’s the secret? It’s all about your eyes. Marios Savvides, a professor at Carnegie Mellon University, US, studies facial recognition technology. As we get older, he said, our faces change shape, but not the area around our eyes. It stays the same-even if we put on weight. Facial recognition software is about more than just unlocking your phone. It’s about public safety. For example, you don’t need to take an ID card, which can be lost or stolen. It also means that virus isn’t spread by touching things, said NEC’s Shinya Takeshima. “Touchless check has become very important to some infectious diseases,” he said to Reuters. “We hope to do something for safety and peace of mind.” More than that, facial recognition can be used to fight crime. “It can tell criminals and terrorists,” said Huang Lei, one of Hanwang’s leaders. Hanwang’s technology is used by police in high-security settings. This means places like government buildings, subway stations and airports. Similar technology is used by the United States Air Force and other governments. Huang talks about one big weakness of this technology. “It fails when people wear both a mask and sunglasses. In this situation, all of the key facial information is lost,” Huang said to E&T. 8. What is the closest meaning of the underlined word “hassle” in paragraph 1? A. Trouble. B. Mistake. C. Rule. D. Habit. 9. The facial recognition software that can identify people with masks mainly depends on ______. A. the forehead B. the eye region C. the shape of faces D. the facial expressions 10. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about? A. The future of facial recognition technology. B. Different types of facial recognition software. C. The advantages of facial recognition technology. D The problems with current facial recognition technology. 11. What is the attitude of Mr Huang toward facial technology? A. Objective. B. Favorable. C. Worried. D. Negative. D A group of clams (河蚌) recently caught people’s attention after an article was posted by China Science Communication online. Although these clams are usually regarded as nothing more than delicious food, they work to monitor the local water quality in Poland. Gruba Kaska pumping station, which stands in the River Wisla, helps provide millions of liters of water to Warsaw, the capital of Poland. However, one particular concern for the water quality has been heavy metals, and researchers sought help from nature to solve this problem. Clams are sensitive to pollutants in their environment as they filter (过滤) water to feed on microorganisms (微生物). They shut their shells immediately after detecting “dangerous” water. Based on this, the researchers selected eight clams at a time and recorded the natural opening of their shells. After the clam “employees” become accustomed to the local water, they are placed in a specially designed container. With sensors stuck onto their shells, the clams are connected to a system that records how wide the shells are open. If four or more clams close their shells at the same time, an alarm will be set off and the water supply will be shut down. The result is reliable because the creatures are considering many different factors at the same time, according to ZME Science. Animals have long been helpers for human activities. Farmers in north Queensland, Australia, have been ordering different species of dung beetles (屎壳郎) to help clean up cattle waste, according to ABC News. As the number of cattle grows, their waste increases, leading to an enormous population of flies and a worsening environment. Dung beetles, however, take the waste and bury it. This way, they help improve soil quality. Similarly, cockroaches are used to deal with kitchen waste at several firms in China, according to a report of The Beijing News. About 300 million cockroaches are fed 15 tons of food waste on a daily basis, and they themselves are a good protein resource for livestock. 12. What is the new usage of clams? A. To solve the food shortage. B. To relieve people’s anxiety. C. To remove heavy metals sooner. D. To check the water quality. 13. What does “this” in paragraph 4 probably refer to? A. The clams are used to the local water. B. The clams prefer to close their shells. C. The clams are regarded as delicious food. D. The clams are sensitive to polluted water. 14. How did the researchers obtain the research finding? A. By selecting different kinds of clams. B. By referring to some historical records. C. By analysing the results of the records. D. By interviewing some experts of ZME Science. 15. What can be the best title for the text? A. Animals, Good Helpers of Humans B. Three Kinds of Amazing Animals C. A Special Way to Test Water Quality D. Animals, Far More than Tasty Food 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。 How do people respond when you have a talk with them?

The classroom suddenly got filled with eager voices as classmates enthusiastically shared their dreams. “I want to be a college professor,” said Sarah confidently. “I dream of becoming a basketball player,” exclaimed Mike with light in his eye. The air was filled with dreams of doctors, nurses, police and various professions. When Mrs. Green turned her attention to me, inquiring about my future career, I hesitated. “I don’t know yet,” I admitted. Then she asked if I wished to follow in my dad’s footsteps. “No,” I replied firmly. My dad is a distinguished doctor with a demanding schedule, who often finds himself engaged in the responsibilities of his job. Thus, he often return s home late in the evening. The limited time we spent together during my growth created a noticeable distance in our relationship. I had such a lot to complain about his job and thus being a doctor would be the last option I would take. Upon hearing my response, Mrs. Green remained silent. Instead, she encouraged me to reflect further. A turning point came when our school organized a cultural festival. It was an important event, and we had been preparing for it for a long time. For my role, I needed to purchase a costume. Unfortunately, my mother was abroad, so the responsibility fell on my father. Unwillingly, I agreed, acknowledging that there was no other choice. In the mall, my dad’s unfamiliarity with the shopping list became apparent. Despite Mom’s thorough list, we wandered aimlessly through the floors, struggling to find the necessary items. As we did, I felt a growing sense of discomfort. Suddenly, a chaos drew our attention. A crowd had gathered, and someone was shouting for help. It turned out that an elderly customer had a fall, and onlookers were at a loss on how to assist. 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。 Without hesitation, my father rushed forward. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ For the first time, I felt a sense of pride in his work. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
