B When 19-year-old Emily Bhatnagar from Maryland, USA, found her father had stage-four thyroid cancer, her response was a little different than you might expect. To honour her father, who she also describes as her best friend, she decided to start a book drive called For Love and Buttercup, collecting books for kids with cancer. “It was very much an overnight idea,” she explains. “I posted a message on an app called Nextdoor, asking my neighbors for used book donations. I was only expecting a few here and there, but the response was truly incredible and it was just the push I needed to co-exist with my sorrow rather than letting it consume me.” “It was absolutely heartbreaking to watch my dad go through cancer and see him lose a little bit of himself each day, but the book drive allowed me to develop a newfound sense of purpose mixed with an even greater sense of commiseration to help others in any shape or form. I wanted to help kids. They’ve always held a soft spot in my heart.” Using tips she earns from working at her parents’ bread shop, Emily has bought many books out of her own pocket. In addition, she receives donations through her Amazon wishlist, which can be found in the introduction to the book drive’s Instagram account. Emily and her older brother spent a whole summer driving around town, loading boxes of books into their car. “It was such a privilege knowing people carried these books all their lives through generations, and they wanted to gift them to my cause.” The project has seen huge success, with For Love and Buttercup donating over 15,000 books and being recognized by The Washington Post, Forbes, The President’s Volunteer Service Award and Lady Gaga’s Born This Way Foundation. 4. What do we know about Emily Bhatnagar? A. She used to be an easygoing and happy girl. B. She is the starter of For Love and Buttercup. C. She grew up in a very tough environment. D. She owns a bookstore for kids with cancer. 5. What was the impact of the book drive on Emily Bhatnagar? A. It left a soft spot in her heart. B. It helped her deal with her sadness. C. It pushed her to be more patient. D. It made her less purposeful. 6. What does the underlined word “commiseration” in the third paragraph probably mean? A. Sympathy. B. Achievement. C. Relief. D. Fairness. 7. What is a suitable title for the text? A. What it took Emily Bhatnagar to start a book drive B. Whether For Love and Buttercup’s books were recognized C. Why Emily Bhatnagar collected books for kids with cancer D. How one American teen donated 15,000 books to sick children C Some plant species will “win” and others will “lose” as global warming forces them to move uphill, new research shows. Scientists studied over 7,000 plant species in Brazil’s Cerrado savanna (草原) and predicted how they might change by 2040 due to climate change. The future of plant species depends on where they live: lowland plants can move uphill to cooler areas, but mountain plants cannot move higher. “As the climate warms, plants’ ranges are shifting, with many species going uphill,” said Mateus Silva, a researcher from the University of Exeter. “This is the pattern we found in the Cerrado — suggesting lowland areas may become local extinction hot spots, while mountains will host new combinations of plant species.”The Cerrado is just 0.4% of the planet’s land surface, but it is home to 3.5% of all flowering plants — about 12,000 species, a similar diversity level to the Brazilian Amazon rainforest. The researchers used species distribution models to find the conditions in which each plant species grows, and then contrasted this with detailed climate data, including changes in temperature and rainfall. The researchers chose a relatively short timescale—focusing on changes by 2040 — to ensure the findings would be useful for current conservation efforts. While more dramatic effects are anticipated over a longer period, the results suggest about 150 plant species face a “critical reduction” by 2040—losing more than 70% of their range. The researchers say they are “optimistic”, as they only looked at climate change. An additional threat is the direct destruction of Cerrado savanna — around half of which has already been cleared to grow crops or graze cattle. “The range loss highlighted by our study will be combined with this habitat loss and fragmentatio (碎片化), which makes it harder for species to move to new areas,” Silva said. “It’s also important to note that our study did not examine interactions between species — this complex ecology is also likely to play an important role.” 8. What does the new research mainly show? A. Some plant species have disappeared due to global warming. B. Global warming will force some plant species to move. C. The future of plant species depends on their sizes. D. Most plant species in the Cerrado have to move a lot. 9. Why does the author mention the Brazilian Amazon rainforest in paragraph 3? A. To explain why the Cerrado has much rainfall. B. To compare its plants with those in the Cerrado. C. To stress the diversity level of the Cerrado’s plant species. D. To show how large an area the Cerrado covers. 10. How did the researchers conduct the study? A. By analyzing climate data and plant distributions. B. By referring to former reports. C. By focusing on interactions between species. D. By carrying out an online survey. 11. What can we infer from the last two paragraphs? A. Habitat fragmentation helps species move. B. The Cerrado savanna will be well protected. C. The research results are in great doubt. D. More conservation efforts are needed. D Surgeons have successfully transplanted a pig kidney (肾) into a 62-year-old man living with end-stage kidney disease. The recipient, Richard Slayman, is recovering well and is expected to be discharged from the hospital soon, mere days after the surgery. This is the first time a pig kidney has been transplanted into a living human, which makes it a very important milestone in the field of xenotransplantation, or the transfer of animal organs to humans. “The success of this transplant is the efforts by thousands of scientists and physicians over severaldecades,” said Tatsuo Kawai at Massachusetts General Hospital in a statement. “Our hope is that this transplant approach will offer a lifeline to millions of patients worldwide who are suffering from kidney failure.” Strictly speaking, however, this isn’t the first ever pig-to-human kidney transplant. The procedure has been performed five times in the past years, all in people who were declared brain-dead and kept on life support. Kawai and his colleagues performed the surgery on 16 March. The procedure lasted 4 hours, and the kidney began producing urine (尿) and the waste product soon after. The organ was provided by the company eGenesis, which raises pigs that have been genetically (基因地) engineered to carry certain human genes and to lack a particular set of pig genes that are harmful to humans. These genetic changes reduce the likelihood of transplant rejection, when the immune system (免疫系统) attacks the organ and causes it to fail. Slayman is also receiving drugs to further lower this risk. So far, there has been no sign of rejection and Slayman is able to walk on his own. His doctors hope to discharge him from the hospital soon. More than 100,000 people in the US are waiting for an organ transplant, of whom 17 die each day. The US Food and Drug Administration authorised the experimental transplant for Slayman due to a lack of other treatment options. “I saw it not only as a way to help me, but a way to provide hope for thousands of people who need a transplant to survive,” said Slayman in a statement. 12. What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A. The wide application of the transplant method. B. The significance of the success. C. The difficulties facing the scientists. D. The high demand for kidneys. 13. What is the key point of raising pigs for the kidney transplant? A. Changing their genes. B. Using some kind of drugs. C. Protecting their immune system. D. Feeding them in a proper way. 14. What do we know about the pig-to-human kidney transplant surgery? A. The organ was offered by the hospital. B. There were various choices for the patient. C. Producing urine symbolized its success. D. It took a few months for the patient to recover. 15. Which can best describe the transplant according to Slayman? A. Unpredictable. B. Disappointing. C. Theoretical. D. Promising. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Most people feel confident in some situations, but not in others.

She was interested in everything, but drawing especially was her expertise (专长). Her mother Ann bought her papers, colors, brushes and pencils and it seemed that Alison used them up all in a day or two. Alison showed her drawings to everyone. She especially wanted to impress her father. There is a time when daughters and dads bond strongly, and Alison surely loved her dad and wanted to bond. She wanted to bond very much—but Dad always seemed to be too busy. Ann watched with a heavy heart how Daughter and Dad very seldom played together and how the father reacted to Alison’s attempts to show her drawings to him. “Yes, honey, that is lovely,” he would barely glimpse (瞥) at Alison’s drawings, and then answer his cell phone or go to his study. One day, Alison used many hours to draw a really detailed house. It was magnificent (壮丽的). She had drawn individual tiles (砖) and colored them one by one, carefully leaving some space between the tiles. She had drawn curtains in the windows, and herself, Mom and Dad looking out of them. On the lawn was the puppy she so much wanted to have. “Look, Mom!” she ran to show her drawing to her mother. “Oh, Alison, this is so beautiful! Your best ever!” her mom said with a smile. Alison was happy. “I’ll show this to Dad now!” she said. She ran down the hall to the closed door of her father’s study. “Dad! Dad!” She tried to open the door. It was locked. Alison’s mom saw the expression of disappointment on her daughter’s face. She reached for the door knob once again. They could hear him talking on the phone with someone. Then the talking stopped. “DAD!” Alison knocked on the door, “I want you to see the house I made!” “I’m sorry, Alison. I am busy,” came the voice behind the door. “Can’t you show it to someone else?” 注意：1．续写词数应为150个左右; 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Alison felt disappointed and her hand fell down to her side. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The door was opened and Alison’s dad appeared. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 海南省2023—2024学年高二年级学业水平诊断(二) 英语 考生注意： 1．答题前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号填写在试卷和答题卡上，并将考生号条形码粘贴在答题卡上的指定位置。 2．回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 3．考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有2分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节(共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 例:How much is the shirt?

No junior high or middle school students are accepted. Fund assistance is available for students who qualify.(所有高中学生和顾问均可参加研讨会。不接受初中生或中学生。符合条件的学生可获得资金援助。)”可知，符合条件的学生可以获得经济支持。故选C项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。由College Edge中“Session A: May 20—June 28, 2024 Session B: July 1—August 9, 2024(A学期：2024年5月20日至6月28日 B学期：2024年7月1日至8月9日)”以及其他三个项目的时间NYC Residential Summer中“Session A 3 Weeks: June 24—July 12, 2024 Session B 3 Weeks: July 15—August 2, 2024(学期A 3周：2024年6月24日至7月12日 学期B 3周：2024年7月15日至8月2日)”、Summer Journalism Workshop中“In-person Session: June 23—28, 2024 Virtual Session: July 8—12, 2024(面对面学期：2024年6月23日至28日 视频学期：2024年7月8日至12日)”和Columbia Writing Academy中“July 15—25, 2024 Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays: 7:00 p. m.—8:15 p. m.(2024年7月15日至25日 周一、周二和周四：晚上7:00至8:15。m。)”可知，College Edge持续时间最长。故选B项。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。由NYC Residential Summer中“For a truly immersive college experience, students who will be 16 years of age or older at the program’s start are eligible(符合条件)to stay on our Morningside Campus.(为了获得真正身临其境的大学体验，在课程开始时年满16岁或以上的学生有资格留在我们的Morningside校区。)”、Summer Journalism Workshop中“Virtual Session: July 8—12, 2024(视频学期：2024年7月8日至12日)”，College Edge中“In the College Edge program, students in grades 11—12 truly get the college experience by earning college credit as they learn alongside Columbia’s undergraduates. (在College Edge项目中，11-12年级的学生通过与哥伦比亚大学的本科生一起学习，获得大学学分，从而真正获得大学经历。)”以及Columbia Writing Academy中“The Columbia Writing Academy is a two-week online course to help students develop their own personal voice and style, and use those skills to craft a unique and impressive college admissions essay.(哥伦比亚写作学院是一个为期两周的在线课程，帮助学生发展自己的个人声音和风格，并利用这些技能撰写一篇独特而令人印象深刻的大学入学论文。)”可猜测，这四个适合高中生的项目应该都是哥伦比亚大学推出的，所以这篇文章可能来自哥伦比亚大学的网站。故选A项。 B When 19-year-old Emily Bhatnagar from Maryland, USA, found her father had stage-four thyroid cancer, her response was a little different than you might expect. To honour her father, who she also describes as her best friend, she decided to start a book drive called For Love and Buttercup, collecting books for kids with cancer. “It was very much an overnight idea,” she explains. “I posted a message on an app called Nextdoor, asking my neighbors for used book donations. I was only expecting a few here and there, but the response was truly incredible and it was just the push I needed to co-exist with my sorrow rather than letting it consume me.” “It was absolutely heartbreaking to watch my dad go through cancer and see him lose a little bit of himself each day, but the book drive allowed me to develop a newfound sense of purpose mixed with an even greater sense of commiseration to help others in any shape or form. I wanted to help kids. They’ve always held a soft spot in my heart.” Using tips she earns from working at her parents’ bread shop, Emily has bought many books out of her own pocket. In addition, she receives donations through her Amazon wishlist, which can be found in the introduction to the book drive’s Instagram account. Emily and her older brother spent a whole summer driving around town, loading boxes of books into their car. “It was such a privilege knowing people carried these books all their lives through generations, and they wanted to gift them to my cause.” The project has seen huge success, with For Love and Buttercup donating over 15,000 books and being recognized by The Washington Post, Forbes, The President’s Volunteer Service Award and Lady Gaga’s Born This Way Foundation. 4. What do we know about Emily Bhatnagar? A. She used to be an easygoing and happy girl. B. She is the starter of For Love and Buttercup. C. She grew up in a very tough environment. D. She owns a bookstore for kids with cancer. 5. What was the impact of the book drive on Emily Bhatnagar? A. It left a soft spot in her heart. B. It helped her deal with her sadness. C. It pushed her to be more patient. D. It made her less purposeful. 6. What does the underlined word “commiseration” in the third paragraph probably mean? A. Sympathy. B. Achievement. C. Relief. D. Fairness. 7. What is a suitable title for the text? A. What it took Emily Bhatnagar to start a book drive B. Whether For Love and Buttercup’s books were recognized C. Why Emily Bhatnagar collected books for kids with cancer D. How one American teen donated 15,000 books to sick children 【答案】4. B 5. B 6. A 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了为了向抗癌的父亲表示敬意，来自美国马里兰州的Emily Bhatnagar发起了一场图书募捐活动，为患癌的儿童筹集书籍。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第一段“To honour her father, who she also describes as her best friend, she decided to start a book drive called For Love and Buttercup, collecting books for kids with cancer.(为了纪念她的父亲，她还称父亲是她最好的朋友，她决定发起一项名为‘For Love and Buttercup’的图书活动，为癌症儿童收集书籍。)”可知， Emily Bhatnagar是For Love and Buttercup的创始者。故选B项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第三段“It was absolutely heartbreaking to watch my dad go through cancer and see him lose a little bit of himself each day, but the book drive allowed me to develop a newfound sense of purpose mixed with an even greater sense of commiseration to help others in any shape or form. (看着父亲与癌症作斗争，看着他每天失去一点点自我，这绝对是令人心碎的，但这次图书募捐活动让我产生了一种新发现的使命感，其中夹杂着一种更强烈的同情，即以任何形式或形式帮助他人。)”可知，书能让Emily Bhatnagar产生了一种新的目标感，从而助于她处理悲伤。故选B项。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。由文章第三段“It was absolutely heartbreaking to watch my dad go through cancer and see him lose a little bit of himself each day, but the book drive allowed me to develop a newfound sense of purpose mixed with an even greater sense of commiseration to help others in any shape or form. (看着父亲与癌症作斗争，看着他每天失去一点点自我，这绝对是令人心碎的，但这次图书募捐活动让我产生了一种新发现的使命感，其中夹杂着一种更强烈的 ，即以任何形式或形式帮助他人。)”以及“I wanted to help kids. They’ve always held a soft spot in my heart.(我想帮助孩子们。他们一直是我心中的软肋。)”可知，作者是有很强的同情心，同情心让作者开始帮助其他人。所以猜测commiseration表“同情或者同情心”的意思。故选A项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，特别根据第一段中“To honour her father, who she also describes as her best friend, she decided to start a book drive called For Love and Buttercup, collecting books for kids with cancer. (为了尊重她的父亲，她也说父亲是她最好的朋友，她决定发起一场名为For Love and Buttercup的图书募捐活动，为患有癌症的孩子收集书籍。)”可知，这篇文章的主要介绍了一位名叫Emily Bhatnagar发起了一场图书募捐活动, 为患癌的儿童筹集书籍的故事。所以D项How one American teen donated 15,000 books to sick children(一名美国少年如何向患病儿童捐赠了1.5万本书)符合文意。故选D项。 C Some plant species will “win” and others will “lose” as global warming forces them to move uphill, new research shows. Scientists studied over 7,000 plant species in Brazil’s Cerrado savanna (草原) and predicted how they might change by 2040 due to climate change. The future of plant species depends on where they live: lowland plants can move uphill to cooler areas, but mountain plants cannot move higher. “As the climate warms, plants’ ranges are shifting, with many species going uphill,” said Mateus Silva, a researcher from the University of Exeter. “This is the pattern we found in the Cerrado — suggesting lowland areas may become local extinction hot spots, while mountains will host new combinations of plant species.”The Cerrado is just 0.4% of the planet’s land surface, but it is home to 3.5% of all flowering plants — about 12,000 species, a similar diversity level to the Brazilian Amazon rainforest. The researchers used species distribution models to find the conditions in which each plant species grows, and then contrasted this with detailed climate data, including changes in temperature and rainfall. The researchers chose a relatively short timescale—focusing on changes by 2040 — to ensure the findings would be useful for current conservation efforts. While more dramatic effects are anticipated over a longer period, the results suggest about 150 plant species face a “critical reduction” by 2040—losing more than 70% of their range. The researchers say they are “optimistic”, as they only looked at climate change. An additional threat is the direct destruction of Cerrado savanna — around half of which has already been cleared to grow crops or graze cattle. “The range loss highlighted by our study will be combined with this habitat loss and fragmentatio (碎片化), which makes it harder for species to move to new areas,” Silva said. “It’s also important to note that our study did not examine interactions between species — this complex ecology is also likely to play an important role.” 8. What does the new research mainly show? A. Some plant species have disappeared due to global warming. B. Global warming will force some plant species to move. C. The future of plant species depends on their sizes. D. Most plant species in the Cerrado have to move a lot. 9. Why does the author mention the Brazilian Amazon rainforest in paragraph 3? A. To explain why the Cerrado has much rainfall. B. To compare its plants with those in the Cerrado. C. To stress the diversity level of the Cerrado’s plant species. D. To show how large an area the Cerrado covers. 10. How did the researchers conduct the study? A. By analyzing climate data and plant distributions. B. By referring to former reports. C. By focusing on interactions between species. D. By carrying out an online survey. 11. What can we infer from the last two paragraphs? A. Habitat fragmentation helps species move. B. The Cerrado savanna will be well protected. C. The research results are in great doubt. D. More conservation efforts are needed. 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了气候变暖如何影响巴西塞拉多草原植物物种的分布。预测显示，由于气候变化，许多植物将向更高的地区迁移，导致低地物种可能面临局部灭绝，而山地将承载新的植物组合。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段的“Some plant species will “win” and others will “lose” as global warming forces them to move uphill, new research shows.(新的研究表明，随着全球变暖迫使植物向山上移动，一些植物物种将“赢”，另一些将“输”。)”可知， 这项新的研究主要表明，全球变暖将迫使一些植物向山上迁移，而另一些植物物种可能在低地地区面临局部灭绝，即全球变暖将迫使一些植物物种迁移。故选B。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段的“The Cerrado is just 0.4% of the planet’s land surface, but it is home to 3.5% of all flowering plants—about 12,000 species, a similar diversity level to the Brazilian Amazon rainforest.(塞拉多只占地球陆地面积的0.4%，但却生长着3.5%的开花植物——大约1.2万种，与巴西亚马逊雨林的多样性水平相当。) ”可知，文中提到巴西的亚马逊雨林是为了强调塞拉多的植物物种的多样性水平，可以与亚马逊雨林相媲美。故选C。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段的“The researchers used species distribution models to find the conditions in which each plant species grows, and then contrasted this with detailed climate data, including changes in temperature and rainfall. The researchers chose a relatively short timescale—focusing on changes by 2040—to ensure the findings would be useful for current conservation efforts. While more dramatic effects are anticipated over a longer period, the results suggest about 150 plant species face a “critical reduction” by 2040—losing more than 70% of their range.(研究人员使用物种分布模型来找到每种植物生长的条件，然后将其与详细的气候数据进行对比，包括温度和降雨量的变化。研究人员选择了一个相对较短的时间尺度——专注于2040年的变化——以确保研究结果对当前的保护工作有用。虽然预计在较长时期内会产生更大的影响，但研究结果表明，到2040年，约有150种植物将面临“重大的减少”——失去超过70%的生存范围。)”可知，研究人员通过使用物种分布模型来分析每种植物目前生长的地方，并将其与详细的气候数据(温度和降雨变化)进行比较，从而进行了这项研究。故选A。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段的“The researchers used species distribution models to find the conditions in which each plant species grows, and then contrasted this with detailed climate data, including changes in temperature and rainfall. The researchers chose a relatively short timescale—focusing on changes by 2040—to ensure the findings would be useful for current conservation efforts.

An additional threat is the direct destruction of Cerrado savanna—around half of which has already been cleared to grow crops or graze cattle. “The range loss highlighted by our study will be combined with this habitat loss and fragmentation, which makes it harder for species to move to new areas,” Silva said. “It’s also important to note that our study did not examine interactions between species — this complex eco logy is also likely to play an important role.”(研究人员说他们是“乐观的”，因为他们只研究了气候变化。另一个威胁是塞拉多稀树草原的直接破坏，其中大约一半已经被清理出来种植庄稼或放牧。Silva说：“我们的研究强调的范围丧失将与栖息地丧失和碎片化相结合(碎片化)，这使得物种更难迁移到新的地区。”“同样重要的是要注意，我们的研究并没有研究物种之间的相互作用：这种复杂的生态也可能发挥重要作用。”)”可知，最后两段讨论了塞拉多稀树大草原面临的其他威胁，如栖息地丧失和破碎化，这使得物种更难迁移到新的地区。报告还指出，这项研究没有考察物种之间的相互作用，但承认它们的重要性。由此可知，塞拉多稀树大草原的物种需要更多的保护工作才得以生存下去。故选D。 D Surgeons have successfully transplanted a pig kidney (肾) into a 62-year-old man living with end-stage kidney disease. The recipient, Richard Slayman, is recovering well and is expected to be discharged from the hospital soon, mere days after the surgery. This is the first time a pig kidney has been transplanted into a living human, which makes it a very important milestone in the field of xenotransplantation, or the transfer of animal organs to humans. “The success of this transplant is the efforts by thousands of scientists and physicians over severaldecades,” said Tatsuo Kawai at Massachusetts General Hospital in a statement. “Our hope is that this transplant approach will offer a lifeline to millions of patients worldwide who are suffering from kidney failure.” Strictly speaking, however, this isn’t the first ever pig-to-human kidney transplant. The procedure has been performed five times in the past years, all in people who were declared brain-dead and kept on life support. Kawai and his colleagues performed the surgery on 16 March. The procedure lasted 4 hours, and the kidney began producing urine (尿) and the waste product soon after. The organ was provided by the company eGenesis, which raises pigs that have been genetically (基因地) engineered to carry certain human genes and to lack a particular set of pig genes that are harmful to humans. These genetic changes reduce the likelihood of transplant rejection, when the immune system (免疫系统) attacks the organ and causes it to fail. Slayman is also receiving drugs to further lower this risk. So far, there has been no sign of rejection and Slayman is able to walk on his own. His doctors hope to discharge him from the hospital soon. More than 100,000 people in the US are waiting for an organ transplant, of whom 17 die each day. The US Food and Drug Administration authorised the experimental transplant for Slayman due to a lack of other treatment options. “I saw it not only as a way to help me, but a way to provide hope for thousands of people who need a transplant to survive,” said Slayman in a statement. 12. What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A. The wide application of the transplant method. B. The significance of the success. C. The difficulties facing the scientists. D. The high demand for kidneys. 13. What is the key point of raising pigs for the kidney transplant? A. Changing their genes. B. Using some kind of drugs. C. Protecting their immune system. D. Feeding them in a proper way. 14. What do we know about the pig-to-human kidney transplant surgery? A. The organ was offered by the hospital. B. There were various choices for the patient. C. Producing urine symbolized its success. D. It took a few months for the patient to recover. 15. Which can best describe the transplant according to Slayman? A. Unpredictable. B. Disappointing. C. Theoretical. D. Promising. 【答案】12. B 13. A 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文属于新闻报道，文章主要报道了一项医学领域的重大进展——将猪肾成功移植到一位终末期肾病患者的体内。 【12题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“This is the first time a pig kidney has been transplanted into a living human, which makes it a very important milestone in the field of xenotransplantation, or the transfer of animal organs to humans. “The success of this transplant is the efforts by thousands of scientists and physicians over severaldecades,” said Tatsuo Kawai at Massachusetts General Hospital in a statement. “Our hope is that this transplant approach will offer a lifeline to millions of patients worldwide who are suffering from kidney failure.” (这是第一次将猪肾脏移植到活人身上，这是异种移植领域的一个非常重要的里程碑，也就是将动物器官移植到人类身上。马萨诸塞州总医院的Tatsuo Kawai在一份声明中说：“这次移植的成功是数千名科学家和医生几十年来的努力。”“我们希望这种移植方法将为全世界数百万患有肾衰竭的患者提供一条生命线。”)”可知，第二段主要强调了这次移植手术成功的重要意义，描述了成功的重要性。故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“The organ was provided by the company eGenesis, which raises pigs that have been genetically (基因地) engineered to carry certain human genes and to lack a particular set of pig genes that are harmful to humans. These genetic changes reduce the likelihood of transplant rejection, when the immune system (免疫系统) attacks the organ and causes it to fail. Slayman is also receiving drugs to further lower this risk. So far, there has been no sign of rejection and Slayman is able to walk on his own. His doctors hope to discharge him from the hospital soon. (该器官由eGenesis公司提供，该公司饲养的猪经过基因工程改造，携带某些人类基因，并且没有对人类有害的特定猪基因。当免疫系统攻击器官并导致其衰竭时，这些基因变化降低了移植排斥的可能性。Slayman也在接受药物治疗，以进一步降低这种风险。到目前为止，还没有任何拒绝的迹象，Slayman也能自己走路了。他的医生希望尽快让他出院。)”可知，为肾脏移植而饲养的猪的关键点在于这些猪经过了基因工程改造，改变了它们的基因。故选A。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Kawai and his colleagues performed the surgery on 16 March. The procedure lasted 4 hours, and the kidney began producing urine (尿) and the waste product soon after. (Kawai和他的同事于3月16日进行了手术。这个过程持续了4个小时，肾脏开始产生尿液和废物。)”可知，产生尿液标志着手术的成功。故选C。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段““I saw it not only as a way to help me, but a way to provide hope for thousands of people who need a transplant to survive,” said Slayman in a statement. (Slayman在一份声明中说：“我认为这不仅是一种帮助我的方式，也是一种为成千上万需要移植生存的人提供希望的方式。”)”可知，他认为这个移植是充满希望的。故选D。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Most people feel confident in some situations, but not in others.

Her mother Ann bought her papers, colors, brushes and pencils and it seemed that Alison used them up all in a day or two. Alison showed her drawings to everyone. She especially wanted to impress her father. There is a time when daughters and dads bond strongly, and Alison surely loved her dad and wanted to bond. She wanted to bond very much—but Dad always seemed to be too busy. Ann watched with a heavy heart how Daughter and Dad very seldom played together and how the father reacted to Alison’s attempts to show her drawings to him. “Yes, honey, that is lovely,” he would barely glimpse (瞥) at Alison’s drawings, and then answer his cell phone or go to his study. One day, Alison used many hours to draw a really detailed house. It was magnificent (壮丽的). She had drawn individual tiles (砖) and colored them one by one, carefully leaving some space between the tiles. She had drawn curtains in the windows, and herself, Mom and Dad looking out of them. On the lawn was the puppy she so much wanted to have. “Look, Mom!” she ran to show her drawing to her mother. “Oh, Alison, this is so beautiful! Your best ever!” her mom said with a smile. Alison was happy. “I’ll show this to Dad now!” she said. She ran down the hall to the closed door of her father’s study. “Dad! Dad!” She tried to open the door. It was locked. Alison’s mom saw the expression of disappointment on her daughter’s face. She reached for the door knob once again. They could hear him talking on the phone with someone. Then the talking stopped. “DAD!” Alison knocked on the door, “I want you to see the house I made!” “I’m sorry, Alison. I am busy,” came the voice behind the door. “Can’t you show it to someone else?” 注意：1．续写词数应为150个左右; 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Alison felt disappointed and her hand fell down to her side. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The door was opened and Alison’s dad appeared. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Alison felt disappointed and her hand fell down to her side. She looked down on her beautiful drawing and her lower lip started to tremble. “I don’t want to show it to anyone else. I want to show it to my dad. You’re the only dad I have!” The last words were no more than a whisper and yet they were left hanging in the air like someone had shouted them. Ann felt such heaviness in her heart. She sent Alison’s dad a text message to tell him how disappointed Alison was. The door was opened and Alison’s dad appeared. “I’m sorry, Alison. I was wrong. Come here and we’ll look at your drawing!” Daughter and the only dad walked into the room to enjoy the child’s magnificent work of art. Her dad’s eyes softened as he took in the details of the painting. “Alison, this is incredible. I can see all the love and joy in every brushstroke. You have a real talent, and I’m so proud of you.” Tears welled up in Alison’s eyes, but this time they were tears of joy. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了四岁的女孩艾莉森拥有非凡的绘画天赋，她花费大量时间创作了一幅精美的房子画作，还满怀期待地想要与父亲分享这份成就。然而，当她兴奋地跑到父亲的书房门前时，面对的却是紧闭的门和父亲因工作而拒绝的态度，这让她感到失落和沮丧。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“Alison感到很失望，她的手垂到了身体两侧。”可知，第一段可描写Alison因未能将精心创作的画作展示给父亲看而感到深深的失望和沮丧的情感状态。 ②由第二段首句内容“门开了，Alison的爸爸出现了。”可知，第二段可描写Alison父亲从书房出来，主动向女儿道歉并表达对她画作的赞赏，以及随后父女俩共同欣赏画作、情感交流的场景。 2.续写线索：Alison表达自己的想法——Alison妈妈感到心里沉重——Alison妈妈告诉爸爸Alison的失望——爸爸道歉——一起欣赏画——爸爸赞扬Alison——Alison高兴地流泪 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①低头看：look down/face downwards ②走进：walk into/step into ③流泪：tears well up/tears spring 情绪类 ①失望：disappointed/despondent ②高兴：joy/delight 【点睛】[高分句型1] You’re the only dad I have!
