That’s true for Logan Earnest’s fifth grade classroom, and he felt it was affecting his students. “Most of the day, they’re inside,” Earnest told CBS News. “And they don’t really get to see any trees, grass, or the blue sky.” He said the gray walls could be depressing to the kids and may affect their attention and even their attendance. This was confirmed by former school psychologist Ernesto Rodriguez, who said the lack of windows does affect kids, because research shows being in and around nature eases anxiety and benefits students. Though no longer a practicing psychologist, perhaps he knows now more than ever the impact nature has on mental health. Rodriguez became a park ranger (公园管理员) on Southern California’s Catalina Island and began focusing on his passion—landscape photography. It was during his training to become a park ranger that he learned a fact that kids who have views out windows to trees do better academically, emotionally and creatively. So an idea to bring nature into rooms occurred to him: Why not bring landscapes in classrooms—via the ceiling (天花板), because teachers don’t typically use them. Rodriguez took 360 degree shots of tree canopies (树冠) using his photography skills, then he printed them and fit them onto the classroom ceiling of Earnest’s fifth grade. “Beautiful,”one student said as she entered the room. Another student said the trees brought him peace, “When you look up, it feels like you’re sitting under a tree.” Earnest said he thought there would be many positive effects on his students. “I think my attendance is going to go up. The kids are going to want to come here more frequently. Overall, I think the kids are going to be happier,” he said. 4. What is the common challenge shared by some classrooms at Taft Elementary? A. Lack of fresh air. B. Absence of windows. C. Insufficient lighting. D. Limited access to technology. 5. Why did Ernesto Rodriguez bring landscapes into classrooms? A. To connect the students with nature. B. To promote his photography skills. C. To improve the teachers’ performance. D. To create an exciting environment for the students. 6. How did the students react to Rodriguez’s pictures on the classroom ceiling? A. They did not notice the change. B. They failed to concentrate on lessons. C. They preferred the original gray ceiling. D. They were in favour of the new additions. 7. What’s Logan Earnest’s attitude towards the change in the classroom? A. Cautious and objective. B. Appreciative and supportive. C. Concerned but doubtful. D. Curious but unsure. C Elephants’ important role in maintaining biodiversity and healthy ecosystems has earned them various names including ecosystem engineers and forest gardeners. However, African forest elephants — a species living in the rainforests of central Africa — are increasingly recognized by another name: “climate heroes”. African forest elephants help lessen climate change by increasing carbon storage in their forest habitats, meaning they help remove heat-trapping CO2 from the atmosphere. They do this by influencing the forest structure, including by increasing the diversity and abundance of plant species. It’s estimated that one forest elephant can increase the net carbon capture (捕获) capacity of the forest by almost 250 acres. This is equal to removing from the atmosphere a year’s worth of emissions (排放量) from 2,047 cars. “As strange as it seems, all that eating and destruction help the forest pull more carbon out of the air,” says Alison Pearce Stevens in the book Animal Climate Heroes! . Elephants eat more than 400 pounds of food a day, so they spend a lot of time searching for food. As they walk through the forest, they do a lot of damage to the surrounding smaller trees, leading to the survival of trees that have the ability to absorb and store more CO2. In addition, their thirst for fruits also helps to promote forest growth. This is because elephants disperse fruit seeds. In other words, the seeds pass through the elephant bodies until they drop back to the forest floor. But African forest elephants are seriously endangered and continue to face threats. These mainly come from hunting for the illegal international trade in elephant ivory (象牙), but also from habitat loss and fewer food sources. The number of forest elephants fell by more than 86% over a period of 31 years, and their habitats are thought to have reduced by 75%. Protecting forest elephants and the forests they depend on means we are safeguarding their ecological contributions that we all rely on. 8. How do African forest elephants help relieve climate change? A. They increase the diversity of wildlife species. B. They help to maintain the plants of the forest. C. They take in heat-trapping CO2 from the atmosphere. D. They promote the net carbon capture ability of the forest. 9. What does the underlined word “disperse” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Consume. B. Preserve. C. Spread. D. Gather. 10. What are the threats facing African forest elephants? A. Illegal hunting and habitat loss. B. The disturbed balance of the forest ecosystem. C. Natural disasters resulting from climate change. D. Competition for water sources with other animals. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Preserving Forests: Elephants’ Contribution B. New Role of African Forest Elephants: Climate Heroes C. Ivory Trade Threatens African Forest Elephants D. Forest Elephants Are Approaching the Edge of Extinction D Space engineers from the University of Glasgow have published new research showing how reflectors (反射器) placed in orbit around Earth could increase the output of future large-scale solar farms by reflecting additional sunlight toward them even after the sun has set. In their paper, the researchers described how they used advanced computer models to help determine the most effective method of using orbiting solar reflectors to produce additional power. Their models showed that putting 20 thin reflectors into orbit 1,000 kilometers from Earth could reflect sunlight to solar farms for an extra two hours each day on average. The additional sunlight could increase the output of the world’s future solar farms, particularly after sunset when electricity demand is high. The output could be scaled up further by adding more reflectors or increasing their size. The team developed an algorithm (算法) to determine how the reflectors could be arranged to catch the sun’s rays most effectively maximizing the additional sunlight reflected to solar farms around Earth in the early morning and late evening. The researchers suggested that 20 reflectors could produce an extra 728 MWh of electricity per day — equal to adding an additional large solar power farm to Earth without the cost of construction. Dr. Onur Çelik, one author of the paper, said, “Solar power has the potential to speed our race to reach net-zero, helping us to relieve the global impacts of climate change by reducing our reliance on fossil fuels.”Moreover, the price of solar panels (太阳能电池板) has dropped quickly in recent years, increasing the pace of their adoption and paving the way for the creation of large solar farms around the world. One of the major limitations of solar power, of course, is that it can only be generated during daylight hours. Putting orbiting solar reflectors in space would help to maximize the effectiveness of solar farms in the years to come. Strategically placing new solar farms in locations which receive the most additional sunlight from the reflectors could make them even more effective. 12. What is the purpose of placing reflectors in space? A. To improve communication between Earth and space. B. To bring the effects of climate change under control. C. To produce electricity for agricultural use. D. To increase the production of solar power. 13. What may contribute to the application of large-scale solar farms? A. The increased demand for electricity. B. The decrease in the cost of solar panels. C The development of space technology. D. The requirement to preserve the environment. 14. What can be inferred about the future of solar farms? A. They’ll replace fossil fuels completely. B. They’ll become the main source of energy. C. They’ll be more cost-effective and efficient. D. They’ll rely mainly on orbiting reflectors for sunlight. 15. Where is the text most probably taken from? A. A news report. B. A maths website. C. A marketing brochure. D. A policy brief. 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。 Adapting to different cultures is an enriching journey that broadens our opinions and improves global understanding.

My understanding of farming mostly came from what I had learned in books. I was a hard-working person, always eager for a chance to explore agriculture. Finally, the opportunity I had been longing for arrived. Earth Day in the second year of my high school, my class organized a visit to a local farm to learn about farming. I was thrilled about the idea and couldn’t wait to share the exciting news with my parents. The next day, I went shopping for tools with my father, such as trowels, watering cans, gloves, and other necessary items. On the day of the event, my classmates and I gathered at the meeting spot early in the morning. The weather was perfect, and everyone seemed particularly happy. Armed with our tools, we got into the car and headed off to our destination. Upon reaching the farm, we were split into several groups by our teacher. One group was in charge of planting the seeds, one for watering the plots, and one for weeding and maintaining the farm. At the teacher’s signal, we all sprang into action. However, it was the first time that many of us had participated in farming, so we were unsure where to begin. I was among them. Fortunately, our teacher was a knowledgeable woman with experience in farming. To guide us, the teacher began planting vegetables herself. After observing her method, we all joined in and got our hands dirty. In no time, we had planted a variety of vegetables. I paid close attention, keen on absorbing every detail. Eventually, I learned the skills of planting vegetables. The experience was not just about learning how to plant; it was also about understanding the importance of sustainable living and the role each one of us can play in protecting our environment. It was a hands-on lesson that made a significant impact on me. 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。 Inspired by the experience on the farm, I decided to put my knowledge to good use. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As the harvest season approached, there were many vegetables in the backyard. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 英语试卷 注意事项： 1．答题前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号、考场号、座位号填写在答题卡上。 2．回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上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，你将有两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?

(加利福尼亚州圣克拉拉市塔夫脱小学的一些教室有一个共同的缺点：没有窗户。)”可知，这个学校的一些教室面临的一个共同的挑战是它们都没有窗户。故选B。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。文章第三段讲到“This was confirmed by former school psychologist Ernesto Rodriguez, who said the lack of windows does affect kids, because research shows being in and around nature eases anxiety and benefits students. Though no longer a practicing psychologist, perhaps he knows now more than ever the impact nature has on mental health. (前学校心理学家埃内斯托·罗德里格斯证实了这一点，他说缺乏窗户确实会影响孩子，因为研究表明，在大自然中和大自然周围可以缓解焦虑，对学生有益。)”以及第四段“It was during his training to become a park ranger that he learned a fact that kids who have views out windows to trees do better academically, emotionally and creatively. (正是在他接受公园护林员培训的过程中，他了解到一个事实，即那些能看到窗外树木的孩子在学业、情感和创造力方面都做得更好)”可知，Emesto Rodriguez 将风景“带进”教室是为了将学生和自然联系在一起。接触大自然对孩子们的身心健康有益。故选A。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。文章第五段中““Beautiful,”one student said as she entered the room. Another student said the trees brought him peace, “When you look up, it feels like you’re sitting under a tree.” (“太美了，”一个学生走进房间时说。另一名学生说，这些树给他带来了平静，“当你抬头看的时候，感觉就像你坐在树下。”)”引用的两个学生的评价可知，他们对教室天花板上的风景是很喜欢的。故选D。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。文章最后一段中Logan Earmest的话“I think my attendance is going to go up. The kids are going to want to come here more frequently. Overall, I think the kids are going to be happier (我想我的出勤率会上升。孩子们会想更频繁地来这里的。总的来说，我认为孩子们会更快乐)”可知，他对教室里的改变是持欣赏和赞同的态度的。故选B。 C Elephants’ important role in maintaining biodiversity and healthy ecosystems has earned them various names including ecosystem engineers and forest gardeners. However, African forest elephants — a species living in the rainforests of central Africa — are increasingly recognized by another name: “climate heroes”. African forest elephants help lessen climate change by increasing carbon storage in their forest habitats, meaning they help remove heat-trapping CO2 from the atmosphere. They do this by influencing the forest structure, including by increasing the diversity and abundance of plant species. It’s estimated that one forest elephant can increase the net carbon capture (捕获) capacity of the forest by almost 250 acres. This is equal to removing from the atmosphere a year’s worth of emissions (排放量) from 2,047 cars. “As strange as it seems, all that eating and destruction help the forest pull more carbon out of the air,” says Alison Pearce Stevens in the book Animal Climate Heroes! . Elephants eat more than 400 pounds of food a day, so they spend a lot of time searching for food. As they walk through the forest, they do a lot of damage to the surrounding smaller trees, leading to the survival of trees that have the ability to absorb and store more CO2. In addition, their thirst for fruits also helps to promote forest growth. This is because elephants disperse fruit seeds. In other words, the seeds pass through the elephant bodies until they drop back to the forest floor. But African forest elephants are seriously endangered and continue to face threats. These mainly come from hunting for the illegal international trade in elephant ivory (象牙), but also from habitat loss and fewer food sources. The number of forest elephants fell by more than 86% over a period of 31 years, and their habitats are thought to have reduced by 75%. Protecting forest elephants and the forests they depend on means we are safeguarding their ecological contributions that we all rely on. 8. How do African forest elephants help relieve climate change? A. They increase the diversity of wildlife species. B. They help to maintain the plants of the forest. C. They take in heat-trapping CO2 from the atmosphere. D. They promote the net carbon capture ability of the forest. 9. What does the underlined word “disperse” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Consume. B. Preserve. C. Spread. D. Gather. 10. What are the threats facing African forest elephants? A. Illegal hunting and habitat loss. B. The disturbed balance of the forest ecosystem. C. Natural disasters resulting from climate change. D. Competition for water sources with other animals. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Preserving Forests: Elephants’ Contribution B. New Role of African Forest Elephants: Climate Heroes C. Ivory Trade Threatens African Forest Elephants D. Forest Elephants Are Approaching the Edge of Extinction 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. A 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了非洲森林象有助于提升森林的碳捕获能力减缓气候变化被称作“气候英雄”，以及它们面临的威胁。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。文章第二段讲到“It’s estimated that one forest elephant can increase the net carbon capture (捕获) capacity of the forest by almost 250 acres. (据估计，一头森林大象可以使森林的净碳捕获能力增加近250英亩。)”可知，非洲森林象通过提高森林的碳捕获能力来帮助减缓气候变化。故选D。 【9题详解】 词义猜测题。根据划线词的上文“In addition, their thirst for fruits also helps to promote forest growth. (此外，它们对水果的渴望也有助于促进森林的生长)”以及下文“In other words, the seeds pass through the elephant bodies until they drop back to the forest floor.( 换句话说，种子穿过大象的身体，直到它们掉回森林地面)”可知，大象喜欢吃水果，而水果的种子通过大象的排泄从大象体内回到森林地面，这帮助散播了水果种子，有助于促进森林的生长。故disperse 同spread “传播”意思相近。故选C。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。文章最后一段中“These mainly come from hunting for the illegal international trade in elephant ivory (象牙), but also from habitat loss and fewer food sources. The number of forest elephants fell by more than 86% over a period of 31 years, and their habitats are thought to have reduced by 75%. (这些主要来自对象牙非法国际贸易的狩猎，也来自栖息地的丧失和食物来源的减少。在31年的时间里，森林大象的数量减少了86%以上，它们的栖息地被认为减少了75%)”可知，非洲森林象面临的主要威胁是非法狩猎、栖息地丧失和食物来源减少。故选A。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据文章第一段“Elephants’ important role in maintaining biodiversity and healthy ecosystems has earned them various names including ecosystem engineers and forest gardeners. However, African forest elephants — a species living in the rainforests of central Africa — are increasingly recognized by another name: “climate heroes”. (大象在维持生物多样性和健康生态系统方面的重要作用为它们赢得了各种各样的名字，包括生态系统工程师和森林园丁。然而，非洲森林象——一种生活在中非热带雨林中的物种——越来越多地被另一个名字所认可：‘气候英雄’。)”可知，本文主要讲述了非洲森林象如何通过增加森林的碳捕获能力来缓解气候变化，被称作“气候英雄”，以及非洲森林象所面临的威胁；因此，最适合的标题是B选项“非洲森林象的新角色：气候英雄”，故选B。 D Space engineers from the University of Glasgow have published new research showing how reflectors (反射器) placed in orbit around Earth could increase the output of future large-scale solar farms by reflecting additional sunlight toward them even after the sun has set. In their paper, the researchers described how they used advanced computer models to help determine the most effective method of using orbiting solar reflectors to produce additional power. Their models showed that putting 20 thin reflectors into orbit 1,000 kilometers from Earth could reflect sunlight to solar farms for an extra two hours each day on average. The additional sunlight could increase the output of the world’s future solar farms, particularly after sunset when electricity demand is high. The output could be scaled up further by adding more reflectors or increasing their size. The team developed an algorithm (算法) to determine how the reflectors could be arranged to catch the sun’s rays most effectively, maximizing the additional sunlight reflected to solar farms around Earth in the early morning and late evening. The researchers suggested that 20 reflectors could produce an extra 728 MWh of electricity per day — equal to adding an additional large solar power farm to Earth without the cost of construction. Dr. Onur Çelik, one author of the paper, said, “Solar power has the potential to speed our race to reach net-zero, helping us to relieve the global impacts of climate change by reducing our reliance on fossil fuels.”Moreover, the price of solar panels (太阳能电池板) has dropped quickly in recent years, increasing the pace of their adoption and paving the way for the creation of large solar farms around the world. One of the major limitations of solar power, of course, is that it can only be generated during daylight hours. Putting orbiting solar reflectors in space would help to maximize the effectiveness of solar farms in the years to come. Strategically placing new solar farms in locations which receive the most additional sunlight from the reflectors could make them even more effective. 12. What is the purpose of placing reflectors in space? A. To improve communication between Earth and space. B. To bring the effects of climate change under control. C. To produce electricity for agricultural use. D. To increase the production of solar power. 13. What may contribute to the application of large-scale solar farms? A. The increased demand for electricity. B. The decrease in the cost of solar panels. C. The development of space technology. D. The requirement to preserve the environment. 14. What can be inferred about the future of solar farms? A. They’ll replace fossil fuels completely. B. They’ll become the main source of energy. C. They’ll be more cost-effective and efficient. D. They’ll rely mainly on orbiting reflectors for sunlight. 15. Where is the text most probably taken from? A. A news report. B. A maths website. C. A marketing brochure. D. A policy brief. 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇新闻报道，安装在太空中的反射器使太阳能发电场的未来一片光明。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Space engineers from the University of Glasgow have published new research showing how reflectors (反射器) placed in orbit around Earth could increase the output of future large-scale solar farms by reflecting additional sunlight toward them even after the sun has set.(格拉斯哥大学的空间工程师发表了一项新的研究，展示了放置在地球轨道上的反射器如何通过在太阳落西后反射额外的阳光来增加未来大型太阳能发电场的产量)”和第二段中“In their paper, the researchers described how they used advanced computer models to help determine the most effective method of using orbiting solar reflectors to produce additional power.(在他们的论文中，研究人员描述了他们如何使用先进的计算机模型来帮助确定使用轨道太阳反射器产生额外能量的最有效方法)”可知，在太空中安装反射器的目的是增加太阳能的产出，故选D。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Moreover, the price of solar panels (太阳能电池板) has dropped quickly in recent years, increasing the pace of their adoption and paving the way for the creation of large solar farms around the world.(此外，近年来太阳能电池板的价格迅速下降，加快了它们的采用速度，并为在世界各地建立大型太阳能农场铺平了道路)”可知，太阳能电池板价格的下降促进了大型太阳能发电场的应用，故选B。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Moreover, the price of solar panels (太阳能电池板) has dropped quickly in recent years, increasing the pace of their adoption and paving the way for the creation of large solar farms around the world.(此外，近年来太阳能电池板的价格迅速下降，加快了它们的采用速度，并为在世界各地建立大型太阳能农场铺平了道路)”讲太阳能电池板价格的下降促进了大型太阳能发电场的应用和最后一段中“Putting orbiting solar reflectors in space would help to maximize the effectiveness of solar farms in the years to come.

My understanding of farming mostly came from what I had learned in books. I was a hard-working person, always eager for a chance to explore agriculture. Finally, the opportunity I had been longing for arrived. Earth Day in the second year of my high school, my class organized a visit to a local farm to learn about farming. I was thrilled about the idea and couldn’t wait to share the exciting news with my parents. The next day, I went shopping for tools with my father, such as trowels, watering cans, gloves, and other necessary items. On the day of the event, my classmates and I gathered at the meeting spot early in the morning. The weather was perfect, and everyone seemed particularly happy. Armed with our tools, we got into the car and headed off to our destination. Upon reaching the farm, we were split into several groups by our teacher. One group was in charge of planting the seeds, one for watering the plots, and one for weeding and maintaining the farm. At the teacher’s signal, we all sprang into action. However, it was the first time that many of us had participated in farming, so we were unsure where to begin. I was among them. Fortunately, our teacher was a knowledgeable woman with experience in farming. To guide us, the teacher began planting vegetables herself. After observing her method, we all joined in and got our hands dirty. In no time, we had planted a variety of vegetables. I paid close attention, keen on absorbing every detail. Eventually, I learned the skills of planting vegetables. The experience was not just about learning how to plant; it was also about understanding the importance of sustainable living and the role each one of us can play in protecting our environment It was a hands-on lesson that made a significant impact on me. 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。 Inspired by the experience on the farm, I decided to put my knowledge to good use. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As the harvest season approached, there were many vegetables in the backyard. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Inspired by the experience on the farm, I decided to put my knowledge to good use. I started a small garden in my backyard, where I planted the same variety of vegetables I had planted on the farm. With each passing day, I carefully watered the plants and weeded out the unwanted growth. My parents were surprised and proud to see how dedicated I was to this newfound hobby. My little garden not only provided us with fresh vegetables but also taught me valuable lessons about patience and perseverance. As the harvest season approached, there were many vegetables in the backyard. The sight of my hard work coming to fruition filled me with joy. I invited my classmates and teachers over to my house to share the bounty of my garden. We harvested the vegetables together, laughing and chatting as we did so. It was a moment of celebration, not just for the bounty we had gathered, but also for the knowledge and friendship we had gained from our experience on the farm. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者作为一名高中生，在缺乏农业活动机会的城市环境中，通过一次学校组织的农场参观活动，深刻体验并学习了农业知识，理解了可持续生活的重要性，并受到启发在自己家的后院开辟了一个小菜园。随着收获季节的到来，作者的小菜园硕果累累，不仅为他们家提供了新鲜蔬菜，还教给了作者耐心和毅力的价值。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“从农场的经历中得到启发，我决定好好利用我的知识。”可知，第一段可描写作者充分利用自己的知识，在后院开辟了自己的一个小花园，作者对其悉心照料，小花园既给作者带来了蔬菜的收获，也教会了作者毅力和耐心。 ②由第二段首句内容“随着收获季节的临近，后院种了许多蔬菜。看到我的辛勤工作取得成果，我满心欢喜。”可知，第二段可描写作者作者邀请同学和老师们前来观园，分享心得，一起谈笑风生，以及描写作者的感悟。 2.续写线索： 开辟花园——悉心照料——收获蔬菜——懂得耐心和毅力——丰收季节的到来——邀请同学和老师观园——分享心得，谈笑风生——最终感悟 3词汇激活 行为类 ①开始：start/ begin ②提供：provide/offer ③获得：gain/get 情绪类 ①惊讶：surprised/amazed ②愉快地：with joy/with delight 【点睛】[高分句型1].  I started a small garden in my backyard, where I planted the same variety of vegetables I had planted on the farm.（句中含有where引导的非限制性定语从句结构） [高分句型2].
