This book does a good job of introducing and explaining what code is, how computers understand it, and introducing common coding terms. The book is part of the popular “Girls Who Code” series, but it is intended for younger readers. (Penguin Random House, $17.99) Marble Circuit With brightly colored pieces, Marble Circuit doesn’t present as a difficult logic (逻辑) game — but don’t be too confident. After deciding on a card, players must put pieces and allow the right number of glass balls to run into each space at the bottom of the board. Because it requires greater ability to reason correctly than some other kinds of puzzles do, Marble Circuit is suggested for the over-8 crowd. (MindWare, $24.95) Babu Set of 3 - Roller, Stacker, Rocker As a classic block-building toy, Babu requires players to balance the blocks on a curved (弯曲的) base, try out different styles of towers or make special cars. (MindWare, $59.95) Botzees Kids can follow directions or use their imaginations to build a robot out of the 130 blocks, and then command it to dance, sing, drum and light up with an app on a smart device. Though the robot attracts younger testers, kids aged 5 and up enjoy the toy’s advanced features better. (Pai Technology, $99.99) 21. What do we know about How to Code a Rollercoaster? A. It’s a difficult coding book. B. It costs no more than $15.00. C. It’s a coding book easy to read. D. It is the first book of its series. 22. What skills does Marble Circuit develop? A. Logical skills. B. Reading skills. C. Coding skills. D. Computer skills. 23. If Jackson is interested in robots, which gift will he love? A. How to Code a Rollercoaster. B. Marble Circuit. C. Babu Set of 3 - Roller, Stacker, Rocker. D. Botzees. B Kyle Cassidy and three other members of the Annenberg (Lunchtime) Running Group were relaxing on the grounds of the University of Pennsylvania, waiting for a few slower ones. The Penn co-workers and other community members meet three days a week for a 30-minute running and sometimes an informal lecture. That’s right — during some runs, one of them gives a talk with topics changing from the brain to Bitcoin. Not your normal exercise chatter. Last Saturday, it would not be their normal run. Something unusual happened when a man ran quickly past them. “How fast!” Cassidy told the others admiringly. Then he discovered why the runner was running so quickly when another man ran by, shouting, “Help! Catch the thief ! He took my phone and laptop!” At that time, the group did what running clubs do: They ran, following the man down the streets of Philadelphia until he quickly hid into a construction site (建筑工地). The runners began to go different ways. Cassidy ran around to the far side of the site to cut the man off while the others wandered around the neighborhood, hoping he had thrown away what he had stolen. No luck. So they decided to ask the locals whether they’d seen the guy. When they knocked on the door of a house, they found the man had already come out from the construction site — and was hiding behind a bush by that very house. As the owner opened the door, the man ran out from behind the bush and right into the arms of a campus policeman, who had joined shortly behind the runners. Running is usually a useless sport. But sometimes it can be useful, and here was one of those examples. 24. Why did the man run so quickly? A. He had stolen from somebody. B. He had a great gift for running. C. He wanted to catch up with others. D. He tried to break the group’s record. 25. What did Cassidy do to catch the man? A. He caught him on the way. B. He wandered in the neighborhood. C. He ran around the site to cut him off. D. He followed him into a construction site. 26. In what way was the running on that Saturday special? A. A new member joined the group. B. One of the runners gave a speech. C. Some policemen followed the group. D. The runners happened to catch a thief. 27. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To praise the campus policeman. B. To show running can be useful. C. To warn there is danger everywhere. D. To encourage others to give a helping hand. C According to a new report in Chinese social media platform Xiaohongshu, the number of online posts related to the circulation(流通) of used goods in 2022 increased by 814 percent year on year. Instead of buying useless things, people are changing towards using secondhand goods and replacing underused or unused objects. This trend is picking up in the country. Since the summer of 2022, a 26-year-old Shanghai citizen named Chen Jiaorong has been walking along Julu Road in Shanghai’s downtown area once or twice a week, looking around and picking up “garbage” (垃圾). After her action was noticed online, she was described by others as a “stooper”. The word “stoop” means to bend forward, but in the United States, it also refers to a platform or entrance stairway to a house. The term “stooper” was created in the US after a lot of people put their used or underused belongings in front of their doorsteps to be taken away for free by those in need. Later, “stooping” was used to mean “picking up abandoned goods and recycling them”. As the first “stooper” in China, Chen had her own way. She picked unused goods to help find suitable new owners for some items. When she found such abandoned (被抛弃的) goods, she put a pair of eyeball-shaped stickers on them before publishing notes on her social media accounts, and guiding others to pick them up from the streets. “‘Stooping’ is a new word in China, and some people even have no idea of it. Most of us still think secondhand goods are dirty and it is embarrassing to reuse them,” said Wu Kaisi, a well-known stooper in Guangzhou. “The slowing economy and the increasing cost of living have pushed the development of the used-goods industry. People are gradually advocating (提倡) a savings-based consumption (消费) and environment-friendly lifestyle instead of blindly seeking for expensive consumption. Now, more young people are joining us.” 28. What does the report in paragraph 1 show? A. Selling used items is popular among young people. B. Reusing secondhand goods has become a new trend. C. People tend to buy products from social media platform. D. The buying power of Chinese consumers is in decline. 29. What is the purpose of paragraph 3? A. To explain a fact. B. To make a prediction. C. To make some concepts clear. D. To present an example. 30. How did Chen find owners for the abandoned goods? A. By organizing offline sales. B. By displaying them on Julu Road. C. By putting up notices on the street. D. By posting related information online. 31. What does Wu Kaisi think of the lifestyle of stooping? A. It is embarrassing. B It is worth advocating. C. It slows down the development of economy. D. It changes young people’s wasteful lifestyle D In southeastern Brazil, local fishers walk into dark waters in search of mullet (鲻鱼). On their own, it would be tricky to find the silvery fish. But the humans get help from an unusual partner—wild bottle-nose dolphins. With nets in hand, the fishers patiently wait as their cetacean (鲸类的) partners drive the fish toward the shore. A signal from the dolphins—usually a deep dive—indicates when they should cast their nets. This fishing partnership has passed down through the generations, lasting for more than a century. While researchers knew humans profited from this pairing, they couldn’t confirm whether it benefited the dolphins. Now, in a new study in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, researchers suggest cetaceans that hunt with humans have more chances to live than those that don’t. “Human-wildlife cooperation in general is an uncommon phenomenon (现象) at a global scale,” says Mauricio Cantor, a biologist at Oregon State University and leader of the study. “Usually humans gain the benefit, and nature pays the cost. But this interaction (互动) has been happening for over 150 years.” Fishers were more successful when they worked with the dolphins. When dolphins were present, the fishers were 17 times more likely to catch prey (猎物) and netted nearly four times more mullet when they timed their casting with the cetaceans signals. Eighty-six percent of all 4,955 mullet caught during the study period came from their interactions at the same time—when the allies organized their actions perfectly with one another. The study also revealed dolphins hunting with humans had a 13 percent increase in survival rate over other dolphins. These cooperative (合作的) dolphins are more likely to stay near the shore reducing their chance of being caught in illegal fishing equipment. Besides, the dolphins can take some fish directly from the fishers harvest. 32. What do the first two paragraphs talk about concerning Brazilian fishers? A. They trick dolphins into fishing for them. B. They have been training dolphins over a century. C. They harvest more fish with dolphins’ help. D. They throw the fishing nets when dolphins are on the top of water. 33. What does Mauricio Cantor’s research show? A. Nature supports human beings at no cost. B. Fishers benefiting from cooperation with cetaceans is common. C. Human-wildlife interaction is a new global trend. D. Dolphins working with man have higher survival rate. 34. What does the underlined word “allies” refer to in paragraph 5? A. partners B. preys C. dolphins D. researchers 35. What’s the author’s main purpose in writing the text? A. To call on the protection of sea creatures. B. To support development in fishing research. C. To show a unique human-dolphin relationship. D. To encourage fishers to better draw on dolphins. 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。 Eyesight plays a very important role in our daily life.

The elder brother is John and the younger one is Jack. One day they got a problem. It was the first serious disagreement in 40 years of farming side-by-side, sharing machines and using goods as needed. Clearly they could not get on well with each other like before and the long-time good relationship fell apart. It began with a small misunderstanding and then it grew into a big difference. Finally, they had a quarrel with each other followed by weeks of silence. No one was willing to be the first to accept mistakes or forgive each other. One morning there was a knock on John’s door. He opened it to find a man with a carpenter’s toolbox. “I’m a carpenter(木匠), and I am good at making chairs, tables, and even bridges. Now I’m looking for a few days’ work,” the man said. “Perhaps you would have some small projects and I could help. Could I help you?” “Yes,” said John. “I do have a job for you. Look across the river at that farm. That’s my neighbor. In fact, it’s my younger brother! There was a piece of grassland between us. However, he recently brought his bulldozer(推土机) and now there is a river between us. Well, he may have done this to upset me on purpose, but I’ll do more. See the wood over there? I want you to build a fence, an eight-foot-long fence, so I won’t need to see his place or his face anymore.” The carpenter said “I think I understand the situation. Show me the materials and I’ll be able to do a job that pleases you.” John had to go to town to buy something for his farm, so he helped the carpenter get the materials ready and then he left. 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。 The carpenter worked hard all that day. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The two brothers stood at each end of the bridge. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$null 2023-2024学年第二学期高二年级期末英语试卷 总分：150分 考试时间：120分钟 第一部分：听力(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项，并标在试卷的相应位置，听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题，每段对话仅读一遍。 1. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 How does the man feel now?

How to enjoy health care payments. 【答案】17. A 18. A 19. C 20. B 【解析】 【原文】W: Japan’s government has passed laws to lower the age at which people become adults. It is the first time since 1876 that this has happened. From the year 2022, teenagers will become adults at the age of 18, which is two years earlier than the age at which adulthood currently legally happens. However, even though the age has been lowered, there are still certain things that will not change. The legal age for drinking alcohol and smoking will remain fixed at 20. The new law will enable 18-year-olds to get married without the agreement of their parents, and allow them to apply for loans and credit cards. The new law has been passed in an effort to bring about social and economic change in Japan. The government hopes to see an increase in the number of young people getting married and starting families. This will help to deal with the nation’s falling birth rate and ageing population. Greater financial freedoms could be a boost to the economy and provide more tax incomes. This is very important for a government struggling to deal with increasing retirement money and health care payments. Many of Japan’s young people are more concerned about how the law will affect traditional Coming of Age Day. This is a national holiday held in January in which 20-year-olds dress up in traditional clothes to celebrate adulthood. 第二部分：阅读(共两节，满分50分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。 A Best Gifts for Children How to Code a Rollercoaster This is a picture book about coding (编程). This book does a good job of introducing and explaining what code is, how computers understand it, and introducing common coding terms. The book is part of the popular “Girls Who Code” series, but it is intended for younger readers. (Penguin Random House, $17.99) Marble Circuit With brightly colored pieces, Marble Circuit doesn’t present as a difficult logic (逻辑) game — but don’t be too confident. After deciding on a card, players must put pieces and allow the right number of glass balls to run into each space at the bottom of the board. Because it requires greater ability to reason correctly than some other kinds of puzzles do, Marble Circuit is suggested for the over-8 crowd. (MindWare, $24.95) Babu Set of 3 - Roller Stacker, Rocker As a classic block-building toy, Babu requires players to balance the blocks on a curved (弯曲的) base, try out different styles of towers or make special cars. (MindWare, $59.95) Botzees Kids can follow directions or use their imaginations to build a robot out of the 130 blocks, and then command it to dance, sing, drum and light up with an app on a smart device. Though the robot attracts younger testers, kids aged 5 and up enjoy the toy’s advanced features better. (Pai Technology, $99.99) 21. What do we know about How to Code a Rollercoaster? A.

This book does a good job of introducing and explaining what code is, how computers understand it, and introducing common coding terms. The book is part of the popular ‘Girls Who Code’ series, but it is intended for younger readers.(这是一本关于编码的图画书。这本书很好地介绍和解释了什么是代码，计算机如何理解它，并介绍了常见的编码术语。这本书是流行的‘编程女孩’系列的一部分，但它是为更年轻读者准备的)”可推知，How to Code a Rollercoaster是一本易于阅读的编程书。故选C项。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二部分的第一句“With brightly colored pieces, Marble Circuit doesn’t present as a difficult logic (逻辑) game —but don’t be too confident.(由于棋子颜色鲜艳，Marble Circuit并不像一个复杂的逻辑游戏——但不要太自信)”和最后一句“Because it requires greater ability to reason correctly than some other kinds of puzzles do, Marble Circuit is suggested for the over-8 crowd.(因为它比其他类型的智力玩具需要更强的推理能力，所以建议8岁以上的人群玩Marble Circuit)”可知，Marble Circuit是培养孩子的逻辑思维能力。故选A项。 【23题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一部分对Botzees的介绍“Kids can follow directions or use their imaginations to build a robot out of the 130 blocks, and then command it to dance, sing, drum and light up with an app on a smart device. Though the robot attracts younger testers, kids aged 5 and up enjoy the toy’s advanced features better.(孩子们可以按照指示或发挥他们的想象力，用130块积木建造一个机器人，然后用智能设备上的应用程序命令它跳舞、唱歌、打鼓和发光。虽然这款机器人吸引了更年轻的测试者，但5岁及以上的孩子更喜欢这款玩具的高级功能)”可推知，如果杰克逊对机器人感兴趣，他会喜欢Botzees这个玩具。故选D项。 B Kyle Cassidy and three other members of the Annenberg (Lunchtime) Running Group were relaxing on the grounds of the University of Pennsylvania, waiting for a few slower ones. The Penn co-workers and other community members meet three days a week for a 30-minute running and sometimes an informal lecture. That’s right — during some runs, one of them gives a talk with topics changing from the brain to Bitcoin. Not your normal exercise chatter. Last Saturday, it would not be their normal run. Something unusual happened when a man ran quickly past them. “How fast!” Cassidy told the others admiringly. Then he discovered why the runner was running so quickly when another man ran by, shouting, “Help! Catch the thief ! He took my phone and laptop!” At that time, the group did what running clubs do: They ran, following the man down the streets of Philadelphia until he quickly hid into a construction site (建筑工地). The runners began to go different ways. Cassidy ran around to the far side of the site to cut the man off while the others wandered around the neighborhood, hoping he had thrown away what he had stolen. No luck. So they decided to ask the locals whether they’d seen the guy. When they knocked on the door of a house, they found the man had already come out from the construction site — and was hiding behind a bush by that very house. As the owner opened the door, the man ran out from behind the bush and right into the arms of a campus policeman, who had joined shortly behind the runners. Running is usually a useless sport. But sometimes it can be useful, and here was one of those examples. 24 Why did the man run so quickly? A. He had stolen from somebody. B. He had a great gift for running. C. He wanted to catch up with others. D. He tried to break the group’s record. 25. What did Cassidy do to catch the man? A. He caught him on the way. B. He wandered in the neighborhood. C. He ran around the site to cut him off. D. He followed him into a construction site. 26. In what way was the running on that Saturday special? A. A new member joined the group. B. One of the runners gave a speech. C. Some policemen followed the group. D. The runners happened to catch a thief. 27. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To praise the campus policeman. B. To show running can be useful. C. To warn there is danger everywhere. D. To encourage others to give a helping hand. 【答案】24. A 25. C 26. D 27. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了一群跑步者在跑步的时候，意外遇到了跑过的小偷，于是跑步者前去抓住了小偷。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Then he discovered why the runner was running so quickly when another man ran by, shouting, “Help! Catch the thief ! He took my phone and laptop!”(这时，他明白了为什么跑得那么快的时候，另一个人跑了过来，喊道：“来人！抓住小偷！他拿走了我的手机和笔记本电脑！”)”可知，这个人跑得这么快是因为偷了别人的东西。故选A。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“At that time, the group did what running clubs do: They ran, following the man down the streets of Philadelphia until he quickly hid into a construction site (建筑工地). The runners began to go different ways. Cassidy ran around to the far side of the site to cut the man off while the others wandered around the neighborhood, hoping he had thrown away what he had stolen.(当时，这群人做了跑步俱乐部会做的事:他们跟着这个人跑，沿着费城的街道跑，直到他迅速躲进一个建筑工地。赛跑者开始往不同的方向跑。卡西迪跑到工地的另一边，打断了那个人，而其他人则在附近徘徊，希望他已经扔掉了偷来的东西)”可知，Cassidy绕着工地跑去挡住这个人，从而抓住了他。故选C。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“As the owner opened the door, the man ran out from behind the bush and right into the arms of a campus policeman, who had joined shortly behind the runners.(主人打开门时，那人从灌木丛后面跑了出来，直接投入了一名校园警察的怀抱，后者就在跑步者身后)”可知，星期六的跑步特别之处在于跑步者碰巧抓住了一个小偷。故选D。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Running is usually a useless sport. But sometimes it can be useful, and here was one of those examples.(跑步通常是一项无用的运动。但有时它是有用的，这就是其中一个例子)”可推知，作者写这篇文章的目的是证明跑步是有用的。故选B。 C According to a new report in Chinese social media platform Xiaohongshu, the number of online posts related to the circulation(流通) of used goods in 2022 increased by 814 percent year on year. Instead of buying useless things, people are changing towards using secondhand goods and replacing underused or unused objects. This trend is picking up in the country. Since the summer of 2022, a 26-year-old Shanghai citizen named Chen Jiaorong has been walking along Julu Road in Shanghai’s downtown area once or twice a week, looking around and picking up “garbage” (垃圾). After her action was noticed online, she was described by others as a “stooper”. The word “stoop” means to bend forward, but in the United States, it also refers to a platform or entrance stairway to a house. The term “stooper” was created in the US after a lot of people put their used or underused belongings in front of their doorsteps to be taken away for free by those in need. Later, “stooping” was used to mean “picking up abandoned goods and recycling them”. As the first “stooper” in China, Chen had her own way. She picked unused goods to help find suitable new owners for some items. When she found such abandoned (被抛弃的) goods, she put a pair of eyeball-shaped stickers on them before publishing notes on her social media accounts, and guiding others to pick them up from the streets. “‘Stooping’ is a new word in China, and some people even have no idea of it. Most of us still think secondhand goods are dirty and it is embarrassing to reuse them,” said Wu Kaisi, a well-known stooper in Guangzhou. “The slowing economy and the increasing cost of living have pushed the development of the used-goods industry. People are gradually advocating (提倡) a savings-based consumption (消费) and environment-friendly lifestyle instead of blindly seeking for expensive consumption. Now, more young people are joining us.” 28. What does the report in paragraph 1 show? A. Selling used items is popular among young people. B. Reusing secondhand goods has become a new trend. C. People tend to buy products from social media platform. D. The buying power of Chinese consumers is in decline. 29. What is the purpose of paragraph 3? A. To explain a fact. B. To make a prediction. C. To make some concepts clear. D. To present an example. 30. How did Chen find owners for the abandoned goods? A. By organizing offline sales. B. By displaying them on Julu Road. C. By putting up notices on the street. D. By posting related information online. 31. What does Wu Kaisi think of the lifestyle of stooping? A. It is embarrassing. B. It is worth advocating. C. It slows down the development of economy. D. It changes young people’s wasteful lifestyle 【答案】28. B 29. C 30. D 31. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道，主要讲述了人们的消费观正在发生改变，他们倾向于使用二手物品，并更换自己未充分使用或未使用的物品，而上海姑娘陈娇蓉作为中国第一位“垃圾猎人”，会沿着巨鹿路寻找别人不要的东西，并帮助这些东西找到新的主人。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“According to a new report in Chinese social media platform Xiaohongshu, the number of online posts related to the circulation(流通) of used goods in 2022 increased by 814 percent year on year. Instead of buying useless things, people are changing towards using secondhand goods and replacing underused or unused objects. This trend is picking up in the country.(根据中国社交媒体平台小红书的一份新报告，2022年与二手商品流通相关的在线帖子数量同比增长814%。人们不再购买无用的东西，而是转向使用二手商品，更换未充分利用或未使用的物品。这一趋势在该国逐渐抬头。)”可推测出，重复利用二手物品已经成为一个新趋势。故选B。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“The word ‘stoop’ means to bend forward, but in the United States, it also refers to a platform or entrance stairway to a house. The term ‘stooper’ was created in the US after a lot of people put their used or underused belongings in front of their doorsteps to be taken away for free by those in need. Later, ‘stooping’ was used to mean ‘picking up abandoned goods and recycling them’.(‘弯腰’一词的意思是向前弯曲，但在美国，它也指通往房屋的平台或入口楼梯。‘弯腰者’一词是在美国产生的，因为很多人把他们用过或未充分使用的物品放在家门口，由有需要的人免费拿走。后来，‘弯腰’被用来表示‘捡起废弃的物品并回收利用’。)”可知，本段主要解释了stoop、stooper、stooping三个词的含义，由此可推测出，本段主要是为了把一些概念讲清楚。故选C。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“When she found such abandoned(被抛弃的) goods, she put a pair of eyeball-shaped stickers on them before publishing notes on her social media accounts, and guiding others to pick them up from the streets.(当她发现这些被遗弃的物品时，她在上面贴了一对眼球状的贴纸，然后在社交媒体账户上发布笔记，并引导其他人从街上捡起来。)”可知，她通过在网上发布相关信息来帮助别人找到这些被遗弃的物品。故选D。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中Wu Kaisi的话“The slowing economy and the increasing cost of living have pushed the development of the used-goods industry. People are gradually advocating(提倡) a savings-based consumption(消费) and environment-friendly lifestyle instead of blindly seeking for expensive consumption. Now, more young people are joining us.”(经济放缓和生活成本上升推动了二手商品行业的发展。人们逐渐提倡以储蓄为基础的消费和环保的生活方式，而不是一味追求昂贵的消费。现在，越来越多的年轻人加入了我们的行列。)”可推测出，他认为捡二手物品的生活方式值得提倡。故选B。 D In southeastern Brazil, local fishers walk into dark waters in search of mullet (鲻鱼). On their own, it would be tricky to find the silvery fish. But the humans get help from an unusual partner—wild bottle-nose dolphins. With nets in hand, the fishers patiently wait as their cetacean (鲸类的) partners drive the fish toward the shore. A signal from the dolphins—usually a deep dive—indicates when they should cast their nets. This fishing partnership has passed down through the generations, lasting for more than a century. While researchers knew humans profited from this pairing, they couldn’t confirm whether it benefited the dolphins. Now, in a new study in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, researchers suggest cetaceans that hunt with humans have more chances to live than those that don’t. “Human-wildlife cooperation in general is an uncommon phenomenon (现象) at a global scale,” says Mauricio Cantor, a biologist at Oregon State University and leader of the study. “Usually humans gain the benefit, and nature pays the cost. But this interaction (互动) has been happening for over 150 years.” Fishers were more successful when they worked with the dolphins. When dolphins were present, the fishers were 17 times more likely to catch prey (猎物) and netted nearly four times more mullet when they timed their casting with the cetaceans signals. Eighty-six percent of all 4,955 mullet caught during the study period came from their interactions at the same time—when the allies organized their actions perfectly with one another. The study also revealed dolphins hunting with humans had a 13 percent increase in survival rate over other dolphins. These cooperative (合作的) dolphins are more likely to stay near the shore reducing their chance of being caught in illegal fishing equipment. Besides, the dolphins can take some fish directly from the fishers harvest. 32. What do the first two paragraphs talk about concerning Brazilian fishers? A. They trick dolphins into fishing for them. B. They have been training dolphins over a century. C. They harvest more fish with dolphins’ help. D. They throw the fishing nets when dolphins are on the top of water. 33. What does Mauricio Cantor’s research show? A. Nature supports human beings at no cost. B. Fishers benefiting from cooperation with cetaceans is common. C. Human-wildlife interaction is a new global trend. D. Dolphins working with man have higher survival rate. 34. What does the underlined word “allies” refer to in paragraph 5? A. partners B. preys C. dolphins D. researchers 35. What’s the author’s main purpose in writing the text? A. To call on the protection of sea creatures. B. To support development in fishing research. C. To show a unique human-dolphin relationship. D. To encourage fishers to better draw on dolphins. 【答案】32. C 33. D 34. A 35. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了人类和野生宽吻海豚合作捕鱼的故事，从而展示一种独特的人与海豚的关系。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“In southeastern Brazil, local fishers walk into dark waters in search of mullet (鲻鱼). On their own, it would be tricky to find the silvery fish. But the humans get help from an unusual partner—wild bottle-nose dolphins. (在巴西东南部，当地渔民走进黑暗的水域寻找鲻鱼，独自一人要找到这种银色的鱼是很困难的。但人类得到了一个不寻常的伙伴的帮助——野生宽吻海豚。)”以及第二段中“A signal from the dolphins—usually a deep dive—indicates when they should cast their nets. This fishing partnership has passed down through the generations, lasting for more than a century. (海豚发出的信号——通常是深潜——表明它们应该在什么时候撒网。这种捕鱼伙伴关系世代相传，持续了一个多世纪。)”可知，前两段主要讲了巴西渔民在海豚的帮助下收获了更多的鱼。故选C项。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Now, in a new study in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, researchers suggest cetaceans that hunt with humans have more chances to live than those that don’t. (现在，在《美国国家科学院院刊》上的一项新研究中，研究人员表示，与人类一起捕猎的鲸类动物比那些不与人类一起捕猎的鲸类动物有更多的生存机会。)”以及第四段““Human-wildlife cooperation in general is an uncommon phenomenon (现象) at a global scale,” says Mauricio Cantor, a biologist at Oregon State University and leader of the study. (“在全球范围内，人类与野生动物的合作总体上是一种罕见的现象，”俄勒冈州立大学的生物学家、该研究的负责人毛里西奥·康托尔说。)”可知，毛里西奥·康托尔的研究表明和人类一起工作的海豚存活率更高。故选D项。 【34题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第五段中“Fishers were more successful when they worked with the dolphins. (当渔民和海豚一起工作时，他们更成功。)”可知，渔民和海豚的合作是取得成功的原因。结合划线词所在句“Eighty-six percent of all 4,955 mullet caught during the study period came from their interactions at the same time — when the allies organized their actions perfectly with one another. (在研究期间捕获的4955条鲻鱼中，86%来自于他们同时的互动——当allies们完美地组织他们的行动时。)”可推知，大多数的鱼都是渔民和海豚合作配合捕获的，所以，是“渔民和海豚”完美地组织了他们的行动，他们是“盟友，合作伙伴”，划线词allies与partners意思一致。故选A项。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，结合第一段“In southeastern Brazil, local fishers walk into dark waters in search of mullet (鲻鱼). On their own, it would be tricky to find the silvery fish. But the humans get help from an unusual partner — wild bottle-nose dolphins. (在巴西东南部，当地渔民走进黑暗的水域寻找鲻鱼，独自一人要找到这种银色的鱼是很困难的。但人类得到了一个不寻常的伙伴的帮助——野生宽吻海豚。)”和最后一段“The study also revealed dolphins hunting with humans had a 13 percent increase in survival rate over other dolphins. These cooperative dolphins are more likely to stay near the shore, reducing their chance of entanglement in illegal fishing equipment. Besides, the dolphins can take some fish directly from the fishers’ harvest. (研究还显示，与人类一起捕猎的海豚比其他海豚的存活率提高了13%。这些合作的海豚更有可能呆在海岸附近，减少了被非法捕鱼设备缠住的机会。此外，海豚可以直接从渔民的收获中获得一些鱼。)”可知，文章主要介绍了人类和野生宽吻海豚合作捕鱼的故事，所以作者写文章的主要目的是展示一种独特的人与海豚的关系。故选C项。 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。 Eyesight plays a very important role in our daily life.

The elder brother is John and the younger one is Jack. One day they got a problem. It was the first serious disagreement in 40 years of farming side-by-side, sharing machines and using goods as needed. Clearly they could not get on well with each other like before and the long-time good relationship fell apart. It began with a small misunderstanding and then it grew into a big difference. Finally, they had a quarrel with each other followed by weeks of silence. No one was willing to be the first to accept mistakes or forgive each other. One morning there was a knock on John’s door. He opened it to find a man with a carpenter’s toolbox. “I’m a carpenter(木匠), and I am good at making chairs, tables, and even bridges. Now I’m looking for a few days’ work,” the man said. “Perhaps you would have some small projects and I could help. Could I help you?” “Yes,” said John. “I do have a job for you. Look across the river at that farm. That’s my neighbor. In fact, it’s my younger brother! There was a piece of grassland between us. However, he recently brought his bulldozer(推土机) and now there is a river between us. Well, he may have done this to upset me on purpose, but I’ll do more. See the wood over there? I want you to build a fence, an eight-foot-long fence, so I won’t need to see his place or his face anymore.” The carpenter said, “I think I understand the situation. Show me the materials and I’ll be able to do a job that pleases you.” John had to go to town to buy something for his farm, so he helped the carpenter get the materials ready and then he left. 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。 The carpenter worked hard all that day. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The two brothers stood at each end of the bridge. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: The carpenter worked hard all that day. When John returned, the carpenter had just finished his job. John was surprised because there was no fence at all. It was a beautiful bridge! A bridge that connected one side of the river with the other side! He has never seen such a fine piece of work in his life! And the neighbor, his younger brother Jack, was coming toward them with a big smile on his face. The two brothers stood at each end of the bridge. They met on it, taking each other’s hand. They both admitted that they should have accepted their own mistakes and forgiven each other earlier. After a while, they saw the carpenter picking up his own tools. John said, “Please stay here to help me. I will pay you a lot of money.” The carpenter replied, “No, thanks. I still have important bridges to build. I hope you will get on well with each other like before.” 【解析】 【导语】本文以时间为线索展开，讲述了两兄弟因为误会而不再像以前一样融洽，有一天一位木匠来到哥哥家里找活儿干，哥哥让木匠帮他修一道长篱笆，这样他就可以不再见到弟弟，但是木匠却在两兄弟的家之间修了一座桥，这让两兄弟解开心结重归于好。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“木匠整天都在努力工作。”可知，第一段可描写哥哥查看木匠的工作成果。 ②由第二段首句内容“两兄弟分别站在桥的两端。”可知，第二段可描写两兄弟解开心结重归于好。 2.续写线索：返回——惊讶——建桥——和好——挽留——祝愿 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①.返回：return/go back ②.完成：finish/complete ③.回复：reply/respond 情绪类 ①.惊讶：surprised/astonished 【点睛】[高分句型1] A bridge that connected one side of the river with the other side!
