Yellow Pig Day The unofficial holiday that falls on July 17 was created in the early 1960s by Princeton mathematics students, David Kelly and Michael Spivak, while they were working on the special properties (属性) of the number 17, which is a prime number (质数) that has significance in mathematics. Mole Day It’s celebrated every year with a theme by scientists and chemistry students throughout the United States and around the world between 6: 02 am and 6: 02 pm on October 23 because when written in the month-date format, the date and time 6.02, 10/23 include the digits in Avogadro’s number (602×1023) in honor of the mole, a measuring unit in chemistry. Tau Day This has much to do with Pi (π) Day. It has been held every year since 2010 on June 28. The day began as a way to recognize tau. Tau is equal to 2π or 6.283. In recent years, some mathematicians and physicists have argued for the replacement of pi (π) by tau, but it is not yet widely accepted within the scientific community. Palindrome Day Palindrome (回文) is a word or phrase that reads the same backwards as forwards, for example madam. Palindrome Day happens when the day’s date can be read the same way backward and forward. Because date formats vary from country to country, not all dates that are palindromic in one kind of date format are Palindrome Days in another. For instance, April 21, 2024 or 4-21-24 is a palindromic date in the m-dd-yy format, but it isn’t if you write the date as dd-m-yyyy (21-4-2024) or dd-mm-yyyy (21-04-2024). 1. What is special about Mole Day? A. It has a different theme every year. B. It was created by a scientist. C. It’s the oldest of the four holidays. D. It’s celebrated only in America. 2 Which Day is closely related to Pi Day? A. Palindrome Day. B. Mole Day. C. Yellow Pig Day. D. Tau Day. 3. What can we know from the text? A. Yellow Pig Day is related to a concept in chemistry. B. The four holidays each represent a scientific idea. C. 21-4-2024 is a palindromic date in the m-dd-yy format. D. The four holidays are all accepted by governments. B When I was young, my dad would always play music in the house. I’d dance to Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons. Whenever he played Tritsch-Tratsch Polka, I’d grab my skipping ropes and skip to the beat. I’d request Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata when I was getting ready for bed. Listening to classical music was part of my daily routine. I eventually learned how to play the piano. After I had my own daughter, I was excited to introduce her to classical music. However, this excitement soon led to disappointment as no matter what piece I chose, she would not listen. Then one day in October, everything changed. My daughter came home and announced, “I want to dress up as a bumblebee for Halloween. Can you make me a costume, Mom?” Of course, I agreed to sew her a bumblebee costume. But at the same time, the bumblebee gave me an idea. I worked all week on the costume. On Halloween night, my daughter put the costume on and looked in the mirror. Her eyes lit up. She began making buzzing noises—and I was ready. “Can you fly like a bumblebee?” I asked. As she began to buzz around the room, I quickly started playing Flight of the Bumblebee. As the fast-paced violin music began, my daughter buzzed around to the music. She never stopped moving. When the music came to its final bars my daughter shouted, “Play it again, Mom!” So I played it again. Since that night, classical music has become more prevalent in our household. Eventually, she learned how to play the violin and guitar. I still have that costume stored away in a special box. I hope to pass it on to my grandchildren one day and see what happens. 4. What does the author intend to show by mentioning the music works in Paragraph 1? A. The impact of classical music on her. B. The lasting popularity of classical music. C. The world famous classical musicians. D. The different types of classical music. 5. How did the daughter respond to Flight of the Bumblebee? A. Disappointedly. B. Negatively. C. Enthusiastically. D. Indifferently. 6. What does the underlined word “prevalent” in Paragraph 8 mean? A. Competitive. B. Popular. C. Challenging. D. Embarrassing. 7. Why does the author keep the bumblebee costume? A. As evidence of her sewing skills. B. To remind her of a happy holiday experience. C. As a Halloween gift for her future grand-kids. D. To let it play its magic on her grand-kids. C An Inuit-developed app, named SIKU after the Inuktitut for “sea ice”, allows local communities from Alaska to Greenland to connect traditional knowledge with scientific data to track changes in the environment, and make decisions about how to manage wildlife. A group of Inuit elders and hunters from Sanikiluaq, Nunavut, thought up the idea for SIKU more than ten years ago to document and understand the changing sea ice they were seeing in southeastern Hudson Bay. The group turned to the local non-profit Arctic Eider Society (AES) to develop a web-based platform (平台). Over the years, SIKU has developed, and recently, the elders saw that the platform could help address a familiar challenge: sharing knowledge with younger people who often have their noses in their phones. In 2019, SIKU was reintroduced as a full-fledged (全面发展的) social network — a platform where members can post photos and notes about wildlife sightings, hunts, sea ice conditions and more. The posts tell stories of hunting and traveling; the impacts of climate change and industrial activity; and the traditions, diets and illnesses of local animals. Inuit communities are already using the app to inform important decisions. In 2021, for example, elders in Sanikiluaq were worried that the local reindeer (驯鹿) population had reduced, so the Hunters and Trappers Association used SIKU to survey hunters and look at recent reported harvest rates. The information led the association to close the hunt for a short time to reduce pressure on the population and to reintroduce hunting slowly when the number of reindeer increased. Traditionally, Inuit communities shared this information orally (口头上地). “We have lived in the environment for centuries and know about the wildlife. Now armed with SIKU, information is documented in a way that other people will understand. The advantage of SIKU is that it’s part science and part Inuit knowledge and it supports community-driven research,” says Lucassie Arragutainaq, a co-founder of AES. 8. What was the purpose of developing SIKU in the beginning? A. To raise money for AES. B. To pass on Inuit tradition. C To attract more visitors to Inuit communities. D. To record and learn about the changing sea ice. 9. Why is reindeer mentioned in paragraph 4? A. To further prove the role of SIKU. B. To advise people to pay more attention to SIKU. C. To call on visitors and locals to protect reindeer. D. To tell the benefits of the Hunters and Trappers Association. 10. What is the attitude of Lucassie Arragutainaq toward SIKU? A. Doubtful. B. Worried. C. Puzzled. D. Supportive. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. SIKU: Overcoming Environmental Challenges B SIKU: Informing Decision Of Local Communities C. SIKU: Joining Traditional Wisdom To Modern Technology D. SIKU: Advantages Over Other Local Social Media Platforms D For any astronaut hoping to survive on the surface of the moon, growing crops will be important. Now, scientists have taken “one small step” towards growing plants on the lunar surface, after showing it’s possible to grow thale cress (阿拉伯芥), a small flowering plant, in the lunar soil. The findings raise hopes that plants could be grown on the moon during future space missions, and even enable mankind to set up a lunar settlement. “For future, longer space missions, we may use the moon as a launching platform,” explained Professor Rob Ferl. “It makes sense that we would want to use the soil that’s already there to grow plants.” Until now, scientists have not grown plants in the soil. “So, what happens when you grow plants in the lunar soil? What would plants do in a lunar greenhouse? Could we have lunar farmers?” Professor Ferl questioned. To answer these questions, researchers from Florida set out to plant thale cress seeds in the lunar soil, add water, nutrients and light, and see what happened. The researchers chose to use thale cross because its genetic code has already been fully mapped. For comparison, the researchers also planted seeds in a range of soils, including those that are similar to the Martian soil. To their delight, the researchers found that nearly all of the seeds grew. However, they did observe differences between the plants grown in the lunar soil and those grow n in the control soils. Some of the plants grown in the lunar soil were smaller, while others grew more slowly or were more varied in size. “Growing plants in the lunar soil may also change the moon itself,” according to Dr. Stephen Elardo. “The moon is a very, very dry place,” he said. How will minerals in the lunar soil respond to having a plant grown in them, with the added water and nutrients? Will adding water make the minerals friendlier to plants? The researchers hope to answer these questions in follow-up studies. 12. What’s the second paragraph mainly about? A. The plants grown in the lunar soil. B. The significance of the findings. C. The missions of future space exploration. D. The hope for setting up a lunar settlement. 13. Why did researchers use thale cress in the experiment? A. It has a long evolutionary history. B. Its genes are suitable for the lunar soil. C. People have a good knowledge of its genes. D. It has been tested with the lunar soil before. 14. What did researchers find about the plants grown in the lunar soil? A. They didn’t grow well enough. B. They grew slowly in the dark. C. They absorbed few minerals. D. They needed more water to grow bigger. 15. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Growing plants in the lunar soil doesn’t need any water. B. The lunar soil is actually not suitable for growing plants. C. Growing plants in the lunar soil is as easy as that in normal soil. D. There are still problems on growing plants in the lunar soil to be solved. 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，选项中有两项为多余选项。 Boxing has been practised for centuries—it was even one of the sports in the original Olympic Games in ancient Greece. ____16____ In the UK, hundreds of thousands of people from all walks of life join in the sport every week.

Noticing she might need help, he pulled up, got out and found that she had a flat tire(瘪胎).The lady was worried. No one had stopped to help for the last hour or so. He could see that she was so afraid, standing out there in the cold. He said, "I'm here to help you, ma'am. Why don't you wait in the car where it's warm? By the way, I am Bryan Anderson." As he was changing her tire, she rolled down the window and began to talk to him. She told him that she was only just passing through. She couldn't thank him enough for coming to her aid. When the work was finished, the lady asked how much she owed him, wiling to accept any amount. Bryan never thought twice about being paid. He told her that if she really wanted to pay him back, the next time she saw someone who needed help, she could give that person the assistance he or she needed, and Bryan added," And think of me." He waited until she started her car and drove off. It had been a cold and depressing day, but he felt good as he headed for home, disappearing into the darkness. A few miles down the road the lady went into a small café. The waitress came over and brought a clean towel to wipe her wet hair. She still had a sweet smile even though she mentioned that her husband died and she had to make a living by herself. The lady noticed the waitress was nearly eight months pregnant, but she never let her condition change her positive attitude. The old lady wondered how someone who had so little could be so caring to a stranger. Then she remembered Bryan and decided to do something. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 After the lady finished her meal, the waitress came to collect the bill. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The waitress posted the touching story online, accompanied by words "Thank you!

(每年10月23日早上6点02分到下午6点02分之间，美国和世界各地的科学家和化学学生都会以一个主题来庆祝这个节日，因为当以月-日的格式书写时，日期和时间6.02，10/23包含了阿伏伽德罗数字（602×1023）中的数字，以纪念化学中的测量单位摩尔。)”可知，Mole Day每年都有一个主题。故选A。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。由文章Tau Day部分“This has much to do with Pi (π) Day. (这与圆周率日有很大关系)”可知，Tau Day与Pi Day密切相关。故选D。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。由文章Yellow Pig Day部分“The unofficial holiday that falls on July 17 was created in the early 1960s by Princeton mathematics students, David Kelly and Michael Spivak, while they were working on the special properties (属性) of the number 17, which is a prime number (质数) that has significance in mathematics. (7月17日这个非官方节日是在20世纪60年代初由普林斯顿大学数学系的学生大卫·凯利和迈克尔·斯皮瓦克创立的，当时他们正在研究17的特殊属性，17是一个质数，在数学中具有重要意义。)”、Mole Day部分“It’s celebrated every year with a theme by scientists and chemistry students throughout the United States and around the world between 6: 02 am and 6: 02 pm on October 23 because when written in the month-date format, the date and time 6.02, 10/23 include the digits in Avogadro’s number (602×1023) in honor of the mole, a measuring unit in chemistry. 每年10月23日早上6点02分到下午6点02分之间，美国和世界各地的科学家和化学学生都会以一个主题来庆祝这个节日，因为当以月-日的格式书写时，日期和时间6.02，10/23包含了阿伏伽德罗数字（602×1023）中的数字，以纪念化学中的测量单位摩尔。)”、Tau Day部分“This has much to do with Pi (π) Day. (这与圆周率日有很大关系)”、Palindrome Day部分“Palindrome (回文) is a word or phrase that reads the same backwards as forwards, for example madam. Palindrome Day happens when the day’s date can be read the same way backward and forward. (回文是向后读和向前读一样的单词或短语，例如madam。回文日发生在一天的日期可以以同样的方式向后和向前阅读。)”可知，它们各自代表了一个科学理念。故选B。 B When I was young, my dad would always play music in the house. I’d dance to Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons. Whenever he played Tritsch-Tratsch Polka, I’d grab my skipping ropes and skip to the beat. I’d request Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata when I was getting ready for bed. Listening to classical music was part of my daily routine. I eventually learned how to play the piano. After I had my own daughter, I was excited to introduce her to classical music. However, this excitement soon led to disappointment as no matter what piece I chose, she would not listen. Then one day in October, everything changed. My daughter came home and announced, “I want to dress up as a bumblebee for Halloween. Can you make me a costume, Mom?” Of course, I agreed to sew her a bumblebee costume. But at the same time, the bumblebee gave me an idea. I worked all week on the costume. On Halloween night, my daughter put the costume on and looked in the mirror. Her eyes lit up. She began making buzzing noises—and I was ready. “Can you fly like a bumblebee?” I asked. As she began to buzz around the room, I quickly started playing Flight of the Bumblebee. As the fast-paced violin music began, my daughter buzzed around to the music. She never stopped moving. When the music came to its final bars, my daughter shouted, “Play it again, Mom!” So I played it again. Since that night, classical music has become more prevalent in our household. Eventually, she learned how to play the violin and guitar. I still have that costume stored away in a special box. I hope to pass it on to my grandchildren one day and see what happens. 4. What does the author intend to show by mentioning the music works in Paragraph 1? A. The impact of classical music on her. B. The lasting popularity of classical music. C. The world famous classical musicians. D. The different types of classical music. 5. How did the daughter respond to Flight of the Bumblebee? A. Disappointedly. B. Negatively. C. Enthusiastically. D. Indifferently. 6. What does the underlined word “prevalent” in Paragraph 8 mean? A. Competitive. B. Popular. C. Challenging. D. Embarrassing. 7. Why does the author keep the bumblebee costume? A. As evidence of her sewing skills. B. To remind her of a happy holiday experience. C. As a Halloween gift for her future grand-kids. D. To let it play its magic on her grand-kids. 【答案】4. A 5. C 6. B 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文体裁为记叙文。文章通过个人经历叙述了作者如何通过一件特别的万圣节蜜蜂装扮和古典音乐《野蜂飞舞》重新激发了女儿对古典音乐的兴趣，进而使古典音乐在家庭中变得更加流行，并对未来的传承抱有期待。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“When I was young, my dad would always play music in the house. I’d dance to Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons. Whenever he played Tritsch-Tratsch Polka, I’d grab my skipping ropes and skip to the beat. I’d request Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata when I was getting ready for bed. Listening to classical music was part of my daily routine. I eventually learned how to play the piano. (当我小的时候，我爸爸总是在家里放音乐。我会跟着Vivaldi的《The Four Seasons》跳舞。每当他演奏《Tritsch-Tratsch Polka》时，我就会抓起跳绳跟着节拍跳。当我准备睡觉的时候，我会点Beethoven的《Moonlight Sonata》。听古典音乐是我日常生活的一部分。我终于学会了弹钢琴)”可知，作者旨在展示古典音乐对作者产生的影响。故选A。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“As she began to buzz around the room, I quickly started playing Flight of the Bumblebee. (当她开始在房间里嗡嗡作响时，我很快开始演奏《Flight of the Bumblebee》)”第六段“As the fast-paced violin music began, my daughter buzzed around to the music. She never stopped moving. (随着快节奏的小提琴音乐响起，我女儿跟着音乐嗡嗡地转了起来。她不停地走动)”可知，当作者播放这首乐曲时，女儿开始随着音乐四处飞舞。因此，她的反应是热情洋溢的。故选C。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据倒数第二段“Since that night, classical music has become more (从那天晚上起，古典音乐在我们家变得)”和“Eventually, she learned how to play the violin and guitar. (最后，她学会了演奏小提琴和吉他)”可知，自从那个万圣节夜晚之后，古典音乐在她们的家庭中变得更加受欢迎，女儿开始对古典音乐产生兴趣，并且后来还学习了小提琴和吉他。所以prevalent的含义为“受欢迎的”。A. Competitive竞争性的；B. Popular受欢迎的；C. Challenging具有挑战性的；D. Embarrassing令人尴尬的。故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“I still have that costume stored away in a special box. I hope to pass it on to my grandchildren one day and see what happens. (那套戏服我还保存在一个特殊的盒子里。我希望有一天能把它传给我的孙子们，看看会发生什么)”可知，让它继续在她的孙子孙女身上发挥魔力，是作者保留这套服装的目的。故选D。 C An Inuit-developed app, named SIKU after the Inuktitut for “sea ice”, allows local communities from Alaska to Greenland to connect traditional knowledge with scientific data to track changes in the environment, and make decisions about how to manage wildlife. A group of Inuit elders and hunters from Sanikiluaq, Nunavut, thought up the idea for SIKU more than ten years ago to document and understand the changing sea ice they were seeing in southeastern Hudson Bay. The group turned to the local non-profit Arctic Eider Society (AES) to develop a web-based platform (平台). Over the years, SIKU has developed, and recently, the elders saw that the platform could help address a familiar challenge: sharing knowledge with younger people who often have their noses in their phones. In 2019, SIKU was reintroduced as a full-fledged (全面发展的) social network — a platform where members can post photos and notes about wildlife sightings, hunts, sea ice conditions and more. The posts tell stories of hunting and traveling; the impacts of climate change and industrial activity; and the traditions, diets and illnesses of local animals. Inuit communities are already using the app to inform important decisions. In 2021, for example, elders in Sanikiluaq were worried that the local reindeer (驯鹿) population had reduced, so the Hunters and Trappers Association used SIKU to survey hunters and look at recent reported harvest rates. The information led the association to close the hunt for a short time to reduce pressure on the population and to reintroduce hunting slowly when the number of reindeer increased. Traditionally, Inuit communities shared this information orally (口头上地). “We have lived in the environment for centuries and know about the wildlife. Now armed with SIKU, information is documented in a way that other people will understand. The advantage of SIKU is that it’s part science and part Inuit knowledge and it supports community-driven research,” says Lucassie Arragutainaq, a co-founder of AES. 8. What was the purpose of developing SIKU in the beginning? A. To raise money for AES. B. To pass on Inuit tradition. C. To attract more visitors to Inuit communities. D. To record and learn about the changing sea ice. 9. Why is reindeer mentioned in paragraph 4? A To further prove the role of SIKU. B. To advise people to pay more attention to SIKU. C. To call on visitors and locals to protect reindeer. D. To tell the benefits of the Hunters and Trappers Association. 10. What is the attitude of Lucassie Arragutainaq toward SIKU? A. Doubtful. B. Worried. C. Puzzled. D. Supportive. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. SIKU: Overcoming Environmental Challenges B. SIKU: Informing Decision Of Local Communities C. SIKU: Joining Traditional Wisdom To Modern Technology D. SIKU: Advantages Over Other Local Social Media Platforms 【答案】8. D 9. A 10. D 11. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项由因纽特人开发的应用程序SIKU。它帮助当地社区整合传统知识和科学数据，追踪环境变化，并作出管理野生动物的决策。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段内容“A group of Inuit elders and hunters from Sanikiluaq, Nunavut, thought up the idea for SIKU more than ten years ago to document and understand the changing sea ice they were seeing in southeastern Hudson Bay.(十多年前，一群来自努纳武特地区萨尼基卢阿的因纽特老人和猎人想出了建立SIKU的想法，以记录和了解他们在哈德逊湾东南部看到的海冰变化。)”可知，起初，一群因纽特老人和猎人为了记录和了解他们在哈德逊湾东南部所看到的海冰变化而提出和开发了SIKU。故选D项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。通过阅读第四段内容可知，该段的中心主旨句为首句“Inuit communities are already using the app to inform important decisions.(因纽特人社区已经在使用该应用程序为重要决策提供信息。)”，因此可推知，该段提到驯鹿的案例是为了进行事实举例论证，说明社区已经在使用这款应用程序为重要决策提供信息，即进一步证明SIKU所起的作用。故选A项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中Lucassie Arragutainaq所说的话“Now armed with SIKU, information is documented in a way that other people will understand. The advantage of SIKU is that it’s part science and part Inuit knowledge and it supports community-driven research(现在有了SIKU，信息以其他人能够理解的方式被记录下来。SIKU的优势在于它部分是科学知识，部分是因纽特人的知识，它支持社区驱动的研究)”可知，Lucassie Arragutainaq认为在SIKU的帮助下，信息以一种其他人能理解的方式记录下来，可以实现科学知识和因纽特人的知识相互结合，以支持社区驱动的研究。由此推知，Lucassie Arragutainaq对SIKU持支持的态度。故选D项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通过阅读文章内容可知，文章首段内容“An Inuit-developed app, named SIKU after the Inuktitut for “sea ice”, allows local communities from Alaska to Greenland to connect traditional knowledge with scientific data to track changes in the environment, and make decisions about how to manage wildlife.(一款因纽特人开发的应用程序，以因纽特人的‘海冰’的名字命名为SIKU，允许从阿拉斯加到格陵兰岛的当地社区将传统知识与科学数据联系起来，以跟踪环境变化，并就如何管理野生动物做出决定。)”介绍了文章的主要内容，即，一款名为SIKU的应用程序，帮助当地社区整合传统知识和科学数据，追踪环境变化，同时作出管理野生动物的决策。选项C“SIKU: Joining Traditional Wisdom To Modern Technology(SIKU：将传统智慧与现代技术相结合)”高度概括了文章内容，最适合作本文标题。故选C项。 D For any astronaut hoping to survive on the surface of the moon, growing crops will be important. Now, scientists have taken “one small step” towards growing plants on the lunar surface, after showing it’s possible to grow thale cress (阿拉伯芥), a small flowering plant, in the lunar soil. The findings raise hopes that plants could be grown on the moon during future space missions, and even enable mankind to set up a lunar settlement. “For future, longer space missions, we may use the moon as a launching platform,” explained Professor Rob Ferl. “It makes sense that we would want to use the soil that’s already there to grow plants.” Until now, scientists have not grown plants in the soil. “So, what happens when you grow plants in the lunar soil? What would plants do in a lunar greenhouse? Could we have lunar farmers?” Professor Ferl questioned. To answer these questions, researchers from Florida set out to plant thale cress seeds in the lunar soil, add water, nutrients and light, and see what happened. The researchers chose to use thale cross because its genetic code has already been fully mapped. For comparison, the researchers also planted seeds in a range of soils, including those that are similar to the Martian soil. To their delight, the researchers found that nearly all of the seeds grew. However, they did observe differences between the plants grown in the lunar soil and those grow n in the control soils. Some of the plants grown in the lunar soil were smaller, while others grew more slowly or were more varied in size. “Growing plants in the lunar soil may also change the moon itself,” according to Dr. Stephen Elardo. “The moon is a very, very dry place,” he said. How will minerals in the lunar soil respond to having a plant grown in them, with the added water and nutrients? Will adding water make the minerals friendlier to plants? The researchers hope to answer these questions in follow-up studies. 12. What’s the second paragraph mainly about? A. The plants grown in the lunar soil. B. The significance of the findings. C. The missions of future space exploration. D. The hope for setting up a lunar settlement. 13. Why did researchers use thale cress in the experiment? A. It has a long evolutionary history. B. Its genes are suitable for the lunar soil. C. People have a good knowledge of its genes. D. It has been tested with the lunar soil before. 14. What did researchers find about the plants grown in the lunar soil? A. They didn’t grow well enough. B. They grew slowly in the dark. C. They absorbed few minerals. D. They needed more water to grow bigger. 15. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Growing plants in the lunar soil doesn’t need any water. B. The lunar soil is actually not suitable for growing plants. C. Growing plants in the lunar soil is as easy as that in normal soil. D. There are still problems on growing plants in the lunar soil to be solved. 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项新的研究发现，即在月球土壤中种植植物是可能的，这一发现为未来在月球上种植作物提供了希望，也为人类在月球上建立定居点提供了可能。 【12题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第二段第一句“The findings raise hopes that plants could be grown on the moon during future space missions(任务), and even enable mankind to set up a lunar settlement.（这一发现增加了人们对未来太空任务期间在月球上种植植物的希望，甚至使人类能够在月球上建立一个定居点。）”可知，第二段主要讲的是这一发现的意义。故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段第二句“The researchers chose to use thale cress because its genetic code(基因序列)has already been fully mapped.（研究人员选择使用荠蓝，因为它的基因序列已经完全绘制出来了。）”可知，研究人员在实验中使用荠蓝是因为人们对它的基因有很好的了解。故选C。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段最后一句“Some of the plants grown in the lunar soil were smaller, while others grew more slowly or were more varied in size.（一些在月球土壤中生长的植物较小，而另一些生长较慢或大小不一。）”可知，研究人员发现生长在月球土壤中的植物生长得不够好。故选A。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“How will minerals in the lunar soil respond to having a plant grown in them, with the added water and nutrients? Will adding water make the minerals friendlier to plants? The researchers hope to answer these questions in follow-up studies.”（加上增加的水和营养，月球土壤中的矿物质对在其中种植植物会有什么反应？加水会使矿物质对植物更友好吗?研究人员希望在后续研究中回答这些问题。）可知，在月球土壤中种植植物还存在一些问题需要解决。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，选项中有两项为多余选项。 Boxing has been practised for centuries—it was even one of the sports in the original Olympic Games in ancient Greece. ____16____ In the UK, hundreds of thousands of people from all walks of life join in the sport every week. But why? The answer lies in the physical, mental and even social benefits boxing can bring. ____17____ Whether it’s practising with a punching bag, or a partner or facing an opponent in the ring, boxing can be an extreme form of exercise and give a full-body workout.

B 【解析】 【导语】本文的体裁是说明文。文章主要围绕“拳击”这一主题，从多个角度（身体、心理、社交等）介绍了拳击的好处，并辅以专家观点和具体描述来增强说服力。 【16题详解】 由上文“Boxing has been practised for centuries—it was even one of the sports in the original Olympic Games in ancient Greece. (拳击运动已经有几个世纪的历史了，它甚至是古希腊奥运会的比赛项目之一。)”可知，前一句提到拳击已经存在了几个世纪，甚至是古希腊奥运会中的一项运动，接下来需要描述拳击在现代的普及情况。D选项提到“More recently, boxing has become the mainstream. (最近，拳击已经成为主流)”与前文形成了对比，能承接上文，符合题意。故选D。 【17题详解】 由下文的“Whether it’s practising with a punching bag, or a partner or facing an opponent in the ring, boxing can be an extreme form of exercise and give a full-body workout. It can improve muscular strength as well as increase anaerobic (无氧的) fitness, allowing someone to work out harder, for longer. (无论是和沙袋一起练习，还是和搭档一起练习，或者在拳击场上面对对手，拳击都是一种极端的锻炼方式，可以锻炼全身。它可以增强肌肉力量，增加无氧健身，让人们更努力、更持久地锻炼。)”可知，后文提到拳击是一种高强度的锻炼，能够增强肌肉力量和提高无氧体能，因此可以推断出此段主要是在讲述拳击对身体的好处，即其物理益处。所以F选项“Its physical benefits are clear. (它的物理益处是显而易见的)”能引起下文，符合题意。故选F。 【18题详解】 由上文的“Boxing can also have a positive influence on one’s mental well-being.

(拳击有助于缓解焦虑和抑郁等负面情绪。)”具体说明了拳击可以缓解焦虑、抑郁等负面情绪，能承接上文，符合题意。故选A。 【19题详解】 由上文的“And there is a third benefit of putting on the boxing gloves. (戴上拳击手套还有第三个好处。)”和下文的“However, boxing is not just an individual activity. It also involves working with others to train and stay safe. (然而，拳击不仅仅是一项个人活动。它还包括与其他人一起训练和保持安全。)”可知，前一句提到戴上拳击手套的第三个好处，而后文又提到拳击不仅仅是个人活动，还涉及到与他人一起训练，因此可以推断出此空应该是描述拳击的某个方面可以单独进行。C选项中的“Practising punches can be done alone of course. (练习拳击当然可以单独进行)”能承上启下，符合题意。故选C。 【20题详解】 由上文的“Boxing is good for body, mind and social interactions, isn’t it? (拳击对身心和社交都有好处，不是吗?)”可知，前一句总结说拳击对身体、心理和社会交往都有好处，所以越来越多的人开始接触拳击。B选项的“That’s why more and more people are stepping into the ring. (这就是为什么越来越多的人进入拳击场)”能承接上文，符合题意。故选B。 第三部分：语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节 完形填空(共15小题，每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Orange chicken, salt and pepper chips, fried rice...

Noticing she might need help, he pulled up, got out and found that she had a flat tire(瘪胎).The lady was worried. No one had stopped to help for the last hour or so. He could see that she was so afraid, standing out there in the cold. He said, "I'm here to help you, ma'am. Why don't you wait in the car where it's warm? By the way, I am Bryan Anderson." As he was changing her tire, she rolled down the window and began to talk to him. She told him that she was only just passing through. She couldn't thank him enough for coming to her aid. When the work was finished, the lady asked how much she owed him, wiling to accept any amount. Bryan never thought twice about being paid. He told her that if she really wanted to pay him back, the next time she saw someone who needed help, she could give that person the assistance he or she needed, and Bryan added," And think of me." He waited until she started her car and drove off. It had been a cold and depressing day, but he felt good as he headed for home, disappearing into the darkness. A few miles down the road the lady went into a small café. The waitress came over and brought a clean towel to wipe her wet hair. She still had a sweet smile even though she mentioned that her husband died and she had to make a living by herself. The lady noticed the waitress was nearly eight months pregnant, but she never let her condition change her positive attitude. The old lady wondered how someone who had so little could be so caring to a stranger. Then she remembered Bryan and decided to do something. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 After the lady finished her meal, the waitress came to collect the bill. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The waitress posted the touching story online, accompanied by words "Thank you!

The old lady paid with one 100$ bill. The waitress took over the bill, bowed to say “Thanks” politely and told her to wait a moment for her change. When the waitress came back to her seat, the old lady was nowhere to be found. The waitress looked around anxiously, trying to find her but in vain. Just then the waitress spotted some more money and a note on the table, reading “You don’t owe me anything. Somebody once helped me out in the same way. If you really want to pay me back, just let this chain of love continue with you.” This was exactly what her late husband often said. The waitress posted the touching story online, accompanied by words "Thank you! Kind lady!" Looking down again at the money and the note, she couldn’t hold back her tears. She knew it was going to be hard with the baby due next month, which kept her worried a lot. But now she was just eager to tell her late husband: “Everything’s going to be all right. I love you, Bryan Anderson.” 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了一个寒冷的晚上一位老太太在路上遇到爆胎，向路人求助无果，Bryan帮老太太换了轮胎。当老太太要给钱给他的时候，Bryan拒绝了。他希望老太太能把这份爱传递下去，给需要帮助的人，最后老太太来到一个餐馆就餐，看到了下月就要生孩子的女服务员还在工作。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“这位女士吃完饭后，女服务员过来收账单。”可知，第一段可描写女服务员收了钱后谢谢老太太，等她找零回来的时候，发现老太太已经离开，她不知道该怎么办并发现了爱的传递的小纸条。 ②由第二段首句内容“女服务员把这个感人的故事发到网上，并配文“谢谢！善良的女士！””可知，第二段可描写女服务员得到帮助后的感激之情，并发现这张纸条上的话正式她已故的丈夫经常说的话，感受到了爱的传递与回归。 2.续写线索：老太太车子爆胎得到Bryan帮助——拒绝报酬，让爱传递下去——要生产的女服务员热情招待老太太——老太太帮助快要生产的女服务员——女服务员发现了钱以及纸条——发文感激老太太——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①回来：came back / return ②发现：spotted / found ③忍不住流下了眼泪：couldn’t hold back her tears / couldn't help but shed tears 情绪类 ①焦急地：anxiously / worriedly ②渴望的：eager/ longing 【点睛】 【高分句型1】The waitress looked around anxiously, trying to find her but in vain.
