Lonely Planet has published its yearly list of top places to go. Whether you’re looking for adventure, culture, or value, there’s something for every type of traveler. Let’s explore the. top picks for travel destinations in 2024. Top City: Nairobi Nairobi, the Kenyan capital, was chosen for its unique music and dance culture, and impressive local restaurants. Nairobi National Park, just a short drive out of the city’s central business district, is a must-see, where visitors can see over-400 species wandering the open grass plains while skyscrapers twinkle on the horizon. Top Country: Mongolia Mongolia is loved for its wide-open spaces, adventure activities, and unique food. The Mongolian government has announced 2023 through. 2025: as: the “Years to Visit Mongolia“, easing entry conditions for international travelers and improving public facilities, including a new $ 650 million airport. Top Sustainable Travel Destination: Spain The publisher also recommended Spain for the country’s efforts to expand renewable energy, to develop off-season travel, and to bring tourism to new destinations, such as the port city of Valencia, easing pressures on hot spots such as Barcelona. Top Best-Value Location: The American Midwest The American Midwest, including the cities of Chicago and Detroit, is also on the list, as it offers a high-quality travel experience at a reasonable cost. Visitors can enjoy excellent services and facilities. such as old warehouses transformed into art studios, new eco-design hotels, and Michelin-starred restaurants, without having to spend too much money. Top Beach Destination: Donegal Donegal Ireland’s most northwestern county, has the country’s longest coastline and over 100 beaches, where visitors can enjoy the highest sea cliffs in Europe and miles of beautiful coastal hiking trails. 1. What can people do in Nairobi National Park? A. Enjoy adventure activities. B. Taste local delicious cuisine. C See various wild animals. D. Appreciate musical performances. 2. Why is The American Midwest considered to be the Best-Value Location? A. It has simplified entry procedures. B. It offers cost-effective experiences. C. It combines art with natural scenery. D. It provides good transportation services. 3. What is the main purpose of the text? A. To entertain. B. To analyse. C. To inform. D. To report. B It all started with a simple question: “Can I paint your portrait?” One day in the summer of 2015, Peterson was relaxing in his living room, reading the book Love Does, about the power of love in action, when his quiet was disturbed by a homeless man outside his apartment. Inspired by the book’s compassionate message, Peterson made a decision; He was going to go outside and introduce himself. In that first conversation, Peterson learned that the man’s name was Matt Faris. He’d moved to Southern California from Kentucky to pursue a career in music, but he soon fell on hard times and ended up living on the street for more than a decade. “I saw beauty on the face of a man who hadn’t shaved in probably a year, because his story, the life inside of him, inspired me,” Peterson recalled. Therefore, Peterson asked if he could paint Faris’s portrait. Faris agreed. Peterson’s connection with Faris led him to form Faces of Santa Ana, a nonprofit organization focused on befriending and painting portraits of members of the community who are unhoused. Peterson sells the paintings for money, splitting the proceeds and putting half into a “love account” for his model. He then helps people use the money to get back on their feet. Many of Peterson’s new friends use the donations to secure immediate necessities — medical care, hotel rooms, food. Faris used the funds from his portrait to record an album, fulfilling his musical dreams. Another subject, Kimberly Sondoval, had never been able to financially support her daughter. She asked, “Can I use the money to pay my daughter’s rent?” When the check was delivered, “They both wept in my arms,” Peterson recalls. Peterson has painted 41 of these portraits himself. But there’s more to the finished products than the money they bring to someone who’s down and out. He’s discovered that the buyers tend to connect to the story of the person in the painting, finding similarities and often friendship with someone they might have otherwise overlooked or stereotyped. “People often tell me, ‘I was the one that would cross the street, but I see homeless people differently now,’” Peterson says. “I didn’t know that would happen.” 4 What made Peterson start a conversation? A. The curiosity about strangers. B. The touching story of Matt Faris. C. The disturbance by a homeless man. D. The sympathetic message in Love Does. 5. What do we know about Faces of Santa Ana? A. It pays the homeless salaries. B. It is an official nonprofit organization. C. It tries to restore the lives of Peterson’s models. D. It spends all the money on helping the unhoused. 6. After buying a portrait, a buyer might view the homeless as ________. A. lazy and poor B. odd but inspiring C. disturbing and untidy D. pitiful but respectable 7. Which of the following is the best title of this text? A. Art with Purpose: Love Account Matters B. Hope in Paintings: Help Knows No Race C. Faces of Compassion: Painting a New Perspective D. Encounter with Strangers: Embracing New Friends C Native wild horses in North America went extinct 10,000 years ago.In the 16th century, European settlers brought domesticated (驯化了的) horses to this continent,and their population multiplied.Some people consider them as a reintroduced native species,while others see them as invasive pests that damage ecosystems.Today there are more wild horses in the American West than the land can support,and the government has to control their numbers through birth-control vaccines and occasional but controversial killings. However,Erick Lundgren,a postdoc at Aarhus University,notes that large plant-eaters play a crucial role in the ecosystem,where grass and shrubs are either consumed by animals or burned. Therefore,reintroducing extinct plant-eating mammals,like wild horses in this case, could potentially reduce the occurrence of fires.He advocates taking them off the rang-elands (牧场),where they’re hated for competing with cattle for food,and strategically placing them where they can do what they do best and benefit the environment. Although conservationists generally prefer native organisms to restore ecosystems, non-native species can fill in the ecological gaps left by extinct animals.A lot of research still looks at how bad invasive species are for the environment,but that’s not the only possibility. For example,Australian saltwater crocodiles that were nearly extinct in the 1970s are now a species of“least concern”,thanks to the invasive pigs they’ve come to feast on. “People will protest that a species doesn’t belong here.But the word ‘belong’isn’t science;it’s nativism.”Lundgren said.Many of the areas we consider“wilderness”today were ecologic created by native people who pruned (修剪) plants and watched over controlled burns.“We’re changing the planet quickly yet refusing to let the living beings on it change with it.”he said.If we take away the issue of belonging and consciously assign the non-native species a role to play,what we’re left with is a wilder and more diverse world. 8. What do we know about wild horses in North America today? A. Their population grows rapidly. B. They are native to the continent. C. Their living spaces are narrowing. D. They are protected from being killed. 9. How could we use wild horses to control wildfires? A. Leave them undisturbed. B. Remove them from rang-elands. C. Promote their reproductive rate. D. Utilize their grass-eating nature. 10. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The value of non-native animals. B. The efforts in ecosystem restoration. C. The need for protecting native species. D. The importance of preserving biodiversity. 11. What does the last paragraph suggest doing? A. Reducing human impact on nature. B. Forbidding invasion of new species. C. Staying open to non-native animals. D. Returning animals to native habitats. D Researchers have discovered the oldest black hole ever observed, dating from the dawn of the universe, and found that it is “eating” its host galaxy to death. The international team, led by the University of Cambridge, used the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) to detect the black hole, which dates from 400 million years after the big bang. The results, which lead author Professor Roberto Maiolino says are “a giant leap forward”, are reported in the journal Nature. This surprisingly massive black hole even exists so early in the universe challenges our assumptions about how black holes form and grow. The size of this newly-discovered black hole suggests that they might form in other ways: they might be ‘born big’ or they can eat matter at a rate that’s five times higher than had been thought possible. Like all black holes, this young black hole devours material from its host galaxy to fuel its growth. According to standard models, supermassive black holes form from the remains of dead stars, which collapse and may form a black hole about a hundred times the mass of the Sun. If it grew in an expected way, this newly-detected black hole would take about a billion years to grow to its observed size. However, the universe was not yet a billion years old when this black hole was detected. The young host galaxy, called GN-z11, is a compact galaxy, about one hundred times smaller than the Milky Way, but the black hole is likely harming its development. When black holes consume too much gas, it pushes the gas away like an ultra-fast wind. This “wind” could stop the process of star formation, slowly killing the galaxy, but it will also kill the black hole itself, as it would cut off the black hole’s source of “food”. Maiolino says that the gigantic leap forward provided by JWST makes this the most exciting time in his career. “It’s a new era: the giant leap is like upgrading from Galileo’s telescope to a modern telescope overnight,” he said. “The universe has been quite generous in what it’s showing us, and this is just the beginning.” 12. What does the underlined word “devours” mean in Paragraph 3? A. Changes. B. Swallows. C. Observes. D. Forms. 13. According to Paragraph 5, why is GN-z11 likely to be harmed? A. Because the host galaxy is too small. B. Because the black hole is killing itself. C. Because the “wind” ceases star formation. D. Because black holes produce too much gas. 14. What is Maiolino’s attitude to the new discovery about the black hole? A. Favorable. B. Intolerant. C. Doubtful. D. Ambiguous. 15. What can we learn from this passage? A. The black hole took a billion years to achieve its size. B. Supermassive black holes are assumed to form overnight. C. The new discovery of the host galaxy is a giant leap forward. D. The host galaxy and the black hole can be destroyed by the “wind”. 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。 How to Bring a Friendship Back Whether from lifestyle adjustment, conflict, or the development of different interests, everyone sees a friendship fade from time to time.

This high school was definitely bigger than the one I had previously attended. This was my second year of high school, but my first year of school in St. Louis. I had decided the night before that I would be much happier in a new school if I made friends that were so-called “popular”. Getting in with the right group of people would make my life a whole lot better. I even bought a new outfit and had my hair styled just so the first day would be perfect. Scared, yet anxious to begin my new life, I walked up the stairs to the front door. The halls were packed with kids yelling and laughing and telling stories of their summer adventures. My first class was geometry, but where was that? I was standing in the hall looking confused, when a short, blond girl wearing glasses came up and asked, “Are you new? You look lost. Do you need help? My name is Diane. What’s yours?” Even though she seemed a bit strange, definitely not the kind of person I wanted to be associated with, I decided to answer her anyway. I was, after all, lost. After exchanging names. I followed her up the stairs and down a hallway on the right, making polite conversation the whole way. When we reached my room she said, “Well, here you are. Welcome to JFK, and I hope your day goes all right.” I said thanks and waved good-bye. Once inside the classroom, I saw one big group of people huddled around someone who seemed to be telling some sort of story. I walked over and got close enough to overhear. All eyes were glued to the guy in the middle of the circle who was wearing a letter jacket covered with patches. I decided that this guy was popular, so I managed to get a seat right next to him. I said, “Hi, my name is Lisa and I’m new here.” He said, “Johnny.” 注意：1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右： 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置答题。 At the end of the class, I turned to him and asked, “I’m not sure where my next class is, could you help me?” ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Just at that time, someone came up and tapped me on the shoulder. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 西南大学附中高2024届全真模拟集训(一) 英语试题 (满分：150分;考试时间：120分钟) 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。 1.

Let’s explore the. top picks for travel destinations in 2024.(你在为下一个旅游目的地寻找灵感吗?《孤独星球》日前公布了年度最佳旅游目的地榜单。无论你是在寻找冒险、文化还是价值，都有适合每种类型的旅行者的东西。让我们来探索一下。2024年旅游目的地的最佳选择)”可知，本文的主要目的是介绍了四个2024年最佳旅游目的地，也就是告知读者。故选C项。 B It all started with a simple question: “Can I paint your portrait?” One day in the summer of 2015, Peterson was relaxing in his living room, reading the book Love Does, about the power of love in action, when his quiet was disturbed by a homeless man outside his apartment. Inspired by the book’s compassionate message, Peterson made a decision; He was going to go outside and introduce himself. In that first conversation, Peterson learned that the man’s name was Matt Faris. He’d moved to Southern California from Kentucky to pursue a career in music, but he soon fell on hard times and ended up living on the street for more than a decade. “I saw beauty on the face of a man who hadn’t shaved in probably a year, because his story, the life inside of him, inspired me,” Peterson recalled. Therefore, Peterson asked if he could paint Faris’s portrait. Faris agreed. Peterson’s connection with Faris led him to form Faces of Santa Ana, a nonprofit organization focused on befriending and painting portraits of members of the community who are unhoused. Peterson sells the paintings for money, splitting the proceeds and putting half into a “love account” for his model. He then helps people use the money to get back on their feet. Many of Peterson’s new friends use the donations to secure immediate necessities — medical care, hotel rooms, food. Faris used the funds from his portrait to record an album, fulfilling his musical dreams. Another subject, Kimberly Sondoval, had never been able to financially support her daughter. She asked, “Can I use the money to pay my daughter’s rent?” When the check was delivered, “They both wept in my arms,” Peterson recalls. Peterson has painted 41 of these portraits himself. But there’s more to the finished products than the money they bring to someone who’s down and out. He’s discovered that the buyers tend to connect to the story of the person in the painting, finding similarities and often friendship with someone they might have otherwise overlooked or stereotyped. “People often tell me, ‘I was the one that would cross the street, but I see homeless people differently now,’” Peterson says. “I didn’t know that would happen.” 4. What made Peterson start a conversation? A. The curiosity about strangers. B. The touching story of Matt Faris. C. The disturbance by a homeless man. D. The sympathetic message in Love Does. 5. What do we know about Faces of Santa Ana? A. It pays the homeless salaries. B. It is an official nonprofit organization. C. It tries to restore the lives of Peterson’s models. D. It spends all the money on helping the unhoused. 6. After buying a portrait, a buyer might view the homeless as ________. A. lazy and poor B. odd but inspiring C. disturbing and untidy D. pitiful but respectable 7. Which of the following is the best title of this text? A. Art with Purpose: Love Account Matters B. Hope in Paintings: Help Knows No Race C. Faces of Compassion: Painting a New Perspective D. Encounter with Strangers: Embracing New Friends 【答案】4. D 5. C 6. D 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章通过叙述Peterson与无家可归者Matt Faris的相遇以及后续创立Faces of Santa Ana组织的故事，展示了Peterson如何通过绘画帮助那些生活困难的人，并改变了人们对待无家可归者的态度。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“One day in the summer of 2015, Peterson was relaxing in his living room, reading the book Love Does, about the power of love in action, when his quiet was disturbed by a homeless man outside his apartment. Inspired by the book’s compassionate message, Peterson made a decision; He was going to go outside and introduce himself.(2015年夏天的一天，彼得森正在客厅里放松，读着《爱的力量》(Love Does)这本书，这本书讲述了爱在行动中的力量，这时他的安静被公寓外的一个无家可归的人打破了。受到书中富有同情心的信息的启发，彼得森做出了一个决定；他要到外面去做自我介绍)”可知，Love Does中的同情信息让彼得森开始谈话。故选D项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Peterson’s connection with Faris led him to form Faces of Santa Ana, a nonprofit organization focused on befriending and painting portraits of members of the community who are unhoused.(彼得森与法里斯的联系促使他成立了Faces of Santa Ana，这是一个非营利组织，专注于帮助无家可归的社区成员，并为他们画肖像)”可知，Faces of Santa Ana是一个非营利组织。故选C项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Peterson has painted 41 of these portraits himself. But there’s more to the finished products than the money they bring to someone who’s down and out. He’s discovered that the buyers tend to connect to the story of the person in the painting, finding similarities and often friendship with someone they might have otherwise overlooked or stereotyped.(彼得森自己画了41幅这样的肖像。但成品带给落魄之人的不仅仅是金钱。他发现，买家倾向于与画中人物的故事联系起来，找到相似之处，往往与他们可能被忽视或刻板印象的人建立友谊)”可知。在买了一幅肖像后，买家之前是忽视无家可归的人，现在会和他们建立友谊，所以会把无家可归者视为可怜但可敬的人。故选D项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段“Peterson’s connect ion with Faris led him to form Faces of Santa Ana, a nonprofit organization focused on befriending and painting portraits of members of the community who are unhoused. Peterson sells the paintings for money, splitting the proceeds and putting half into a “love account” for his model. He then helps people use the money to get back on their feet.(彼得森与法里斯的联系促使他成立了Faces of Santa Ana，这是一个非营利组织，专注于帮助无家可归的社区成员，并为他们画肖像。彼得森把这些画卖掉赚钱，分成一半存入模特的“爱情账户”。然后，他帮助人们用这笔钱重新站起来)”以及纵观全文可知，本文主要讲述了Peterson如何通过绘画帮助那些生活困难的人，并改变了人们对待无家可归者的态度，所以C项“Faces of Compassion: Painting a New Perspective(同情的面孔：画一个新的视角)”是本文最好的标题。故选C项。 C Native wild horses in North America went extinct 10,000 years ago.In the 16th century, European settlers brought domesticated (驯化了的) horses to this continent,and their population multiplied.Some people consider them as a reintroduced native species,while others see them as invasive pests that damage ecosystems.Today there are more wild horses in the American West than the land can support,and the government has to control their numbers through birth-control vaccines and occasional but controversial killings. However,Erick Lundgren,a postdoc at Aarhus University,notes that large plant-eaters play a crucial role in the ecosystem,where grass and shrubs are either consumed by animals or burned. Therefore,reintroducing extinct plant-eating mammals,like wild horses in this case, could potentially reduce the occurrence of fires.He advocates taking them off the rang-elands (牧场),where they’re hated for competing with cattle for food,and strategically placing them where they can do what they do best and benefit the environment. Although conservationists generally prefer native organisms to restore ecosystems, non-native species can fill in the ecological gaps left by extinct animals.A lot of research still looks at how bad invasive species are for the environment,but that’s not the only possibility. For example,Australian saltwater crocodiles that were nearly extinct in the 1970s are now a species of“least concern”,thanks to the invasive pigs they’ve come to feast on. “People will protest that a species doesn’t belong here.But the word ‘belong’isn’t science;it’s nativism.”Lundgren said.Many of the areas we consider“wilderness”today were ecologic created by native people who pruned (修剪) plants and watched over controlled burns.“We’re changing the planet quickly yet refusing to let the living beings on it change with it.”he said.If we take away the issue of belonging and consciously assign the non-native species a role to play,what we’re left with is a wilder and more diverse world. 8. What do we know about wild horses in North America today? A. Their population grows rapidly. B. They are native to the continent. C. Their living spaces are narrowing. D. They are protected from being killed. 9. How could we use wild horses to control wildfires? A. Leave them undisturbed. B. Remove them from rang-elands. C. Promote their reproductive rate. D. Utilize their grass-eating nature. 10. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The value of non-native animals. B. The efforts in ecosystem restoration. C. The need for protecting native species. D. The importance of preserving biodiversity. 11. What does the last paragraph suggest doing? A. Reducing human impact on nature. B. Forbidding invasion of new species. C. Staying open to non-native animals. D. Returning animals to native habitats. 【答案】8. A 9. D 10. A 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇说明文，文章通过控制北美野马数量的方式来告诉我们，对于外来物种要保持开放性的态度，它们也是利于生态修复的。 【详解】1. 细节理解题。根据第一段“In the 16th century, European settlers brought domesticated(驯化了的)horses to this continent,and their population multiplied.(16世纪，欧洲殖民者把驯养的马带到了这个大陆，马的数量成倍增加)”和“Today there are more wild horses in the American West than the land can support,and the government has to control their numbers through birth-control vaccines and occasional but controversial killings.(如今，美国西部的野马数量已经超过了土地所能承受的范围，政府不得不通过避孕疫苗和偶尔有争议的杀戮来控制它们的数量)”可知，如今北美野马的数量增长迅速。故选A项。 2. 细节理解题。根据第二段“However,Erick Lundgren,a postdoc at Aarhus University,notes that large plant-eaters play a crucial role in the ecosystem,where grass and shrubs are either consumed by animals or burned.(然而，奥胡斯大学的博士后埃里克·伦德格伦指出，大型食草动物在生态系统中扮演着至关重要的角色，在那里，草和灌木要么被动物吃掉，要么被烧掉)”和“He advocates taking them off the rang-elands(牧场),where they’re hated for competing with cattle for food,and strategically placing them where they can do what they do best and benefit the environment.(他主张把它们从牧场上赶出去，因为在那里它们因与牛争夺食物而受到憎恨，并战略性地把它们安置在它们能做得最好的地方，并有益于环境)”可知，可以利用野马吃草的本性来控制火灾。故选D项。 3. 主旨大意题。第三段第一句话是中心句，“Although conservationists generally prefer native organisms to restore ecosystems,non-native species can fill in the ecological gaps left by extinct animals.(虽然环保主义者普遍认为应该利用本地物种来修复生态，非本地物种可以填补灭绝动物留下的生态空白)”及后文举例可知，本段说明了非本地动物的价值。如果外来物种作用发挥得当，是可以有利于生态修复的。故选A项。 4. 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Many of the areas we consider“wilderness”today were ecologic created by native people who pruned(修剪)plants and watched over controlled burns.“We’re changing the planet quickly yet refusing to let the living beings on it change with it.”he said.If we take away the issue of belonging and consciously assign the non-native species a role to play,what we’re left with is a wilder and more diverse world.(许多我们今天认为的“荒野”地区都是由当地人修剪植物和监督控制燃烧的生态创造的。“我们正在迅速改变地球，却拒绝让地球上的生物跟着改变。”他说。如果我们抛开归属的问题，有意识地给非本地物种分配一个角色，我们剩下的是一个更狂野、更多样化的世界)”可知，文章最后一段告诉我们对于外来物种要保持开放性的态度，不能一概否定。故选C项。 D Researchers have discovered the oldest black hole ever observed, dating from the dawn of the universe, and found that it is “eating” its host galaxy to death. The international team, led by the University of Cambridge, used the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) to detect the black hole, which dates from 400 million years after the big bang. The results, which lead author Professor Roberto Maiolino says are “a giant leap forward”, are reported in the journal Nature. This surprisingly massive black hole even exists so early in the universe challenges our assumptions about how black holes form and grow. The size of this newly-discovered black hole suggests that they might form in other ways: they might be ‘born big’ or they can eat matter at a rate that’s five times higher than had been thought possible. Like all black holes, this young black hole devours material from its host galaxy to fuel its growth. According to standard models, supermassive black holes form from the remains of dead stars, which collapse and may form a black hole about a hundred times the mass of the Sun. If it grew in an expected way, this newly-detected black hole would take about a billion years to grow to its observed size. However, the universe was not yet a billion years old when this black hole was detected. The young host galaxy, called GN-z11, is a compact galaxy, about one hundred times smaller than the Milky Way, but the black hole is likely harming its development. When black holes consume too much gas, it pushes the gas away like an ultra-fast wind. This “wind” could stop the process of star formation, slowly killing the galaxy, but it will also kill the black hole itself, as it would cut off the black hole’s source of “food”. Maiolino says that the gigantic leap forward provided by JWST makes this the most exciting time in his career. “It’s a new era: the giant leap is like upgrading from Galileo’s telescope to a modern telescope overnight,” he said. “The universe has been quite generous in what it’s showing us, and this is just the beginning.” 12. What does the underlined word “devours” mean in Paragraph 3? A. Changes. B. Swallows. C. Observes. D. Forms. 13. According to Paragraph 5, why is GN-z11 likely to be harmed? A. Because the host galaxy is too small. B. Because the black hole is killing itself. C. Because the “wind” ceases star formation. D. Because black holes produce too much gas. 14. What is Maiolino’s attitude to the new discovery about the black hole? A. Favorable. B. Intolerant. C. Doubtful. D. Ambiguous. 15. What can we learn from this passage? A. The black hole took a billion years to achieve its size. B. Supermassive black holes are assumed to form overnight. C. The new discovery of the host galaxy is a giant leap forward. D. The host galaxy and the black hole can be destroyed by the “wind”. 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章主要讲述研究人员发现了迄今为止观测到的最古老的黑洞，可以追溯到宇宙诞生之初，并发现它正在“吞噬”它的宿主星系至死。 【12题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第一段中“and found that it is ‘eating’ its host galaxy to death (并发现它正在‘吞噬’它的宿主星系至死)”以及划线词前“Like all black holes (像所有的黑洞一样)”可知，最古老的黑洞正在吞噬它的宿主星系至死，由此可知，划线词所在句意为“像所有的黑洞一样，这个年轻的黑洞正在吞噬来自宿主星系的物质来促进它的成长”，devours与上文的“eating”同义，意为“吞噬”，故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“When black holes consume too much gas, it pushes the gas away like an ultra-fast wind. This ‘wind’ could stop the process of star formation, slowly killing the galaxy (当黑洞消耗太多气体时，它会像超高速风一样将气体推开。这种‘风’可以阻止恒星形成的过程，慢慢地杀死星系)”可知，黑洞会损害GN-z11星系，是因为“风”会阻止恒星的形成，慢慢地杀死星系，故选C。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Maiolino says that the gigantic leap forward provided by JWST makes this the most exciting time in his career. ‘It’s a new era: the giant leap is like upgrading from Galileo’s telescope to a modern telescope overnight,’ he said. (Maiolino说，JWST提供的巨大飞跃使这成为他职业生涯中最激动人心的时刻。‘这是一个新时代：这次的巨大飞跃就像一夜之间从伽利略的望远镜升级到现代望远镜，’他说。)”可知，Maiolino对有关黑洞的新发现持支持态度，故选A。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“This ‘wind’ could stop the process of star formation, slowly killing the galaxy, but it will also kill the black hole itself, as it would cut off the black hole’s source of ‘food’. (这种‘风’可以阻止恒星形成的过程，慢慢地杀死星系，但它也会杀死黑洞本身，因为它也会切断黑洞的‘食物’来源。)”可知，宿主星系和黑洞可以被“风”摧毁。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。 How to Bring a Friendship Back Whether from lifestyle adjustment conflict, or the development of different interests, everyone sees a friendship fade from time to time.

What 38. wrapped 39. in 40. strongest 41. the 42. moving 43. applause 44. to demonstrate 45. and 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇说明文，介绍了香港大坑火龙舞的相关信息。 【36题详解】 考查时态，被动语态和主谓一致。句意：大坑是香港一个现代化的社区，是大坑火龙舞的故乡，这是一种民间艺术形式，已经在中秋节表演了100多年。由for over 100 years可知，句子时态用现在完成时，火龙舞是被表演，因此空格处用现在完成时的被动语态，主语that指代的先行词a folk art form是单数，因此空格处是has been performed。故填has been performed。 【37题详解】 考查主语从句。句意：一开始是为了摆脱这个渔村的厄运，现在已经成为一种文化财富。空格处引导的是主语从句，从句中缺少主语，句子表示“一开始是为了摆脱这个渔村的厄运，现在已经成为一种文化财富”，因此空格处用what引导主语从句，位于句首，首字母大写，故填What。 【38题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：这条龙长约70米，重达200多磅，全身包裹着珍珠草。空格处是with复合结构，body和wrap之间是逻辑动宾关系，因此空格处用过去分词wrapped表被动，故填wrapped。 【39题详解】 考查介词。句意：在节日期间，数百人轮流在大坑的街道上游行燃烧的龙。in turn是固定短语，意为“轮流”，因此空格处用介词in，故填in。 【40题详解】 考查最高级。句意：这群人中最强壮人有幸支撑着30公斤的头。空前有定冠词the，空格处用最高级strongest，故填strongest。 【41题详解】 考查定冠词。句意：这群人中最强壮的人有幸支撑着30公斤的头。have the honor of doing sth.是固定短语，意为“有幸做某事”，因此空格处用定冠词the，故填the。 【42题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：数十名表演者在空中平稳地上下移动龙，吸引了周围人群的欢呼声和掌声。句中谓语是attract，空格处用非谓语动词，performers和move之间是主谓关系，因此空格处用现在分词moving表主动。故填moving。 【43题详解】 考查名词。句意：数十名表演者在空中平稳地上下移动龙，吸引了周围人群的欢呼声和掌声。空格处用名词作宾语，句子表示“数十名表演者在空中平稳地上下移动龙，吸引了周围人群的欢呼声和掌声”，空格处意为“掌声”，applaud的名词是applause，是不可数名词，故填applause。 【44题详解】 考查不定式。句意：舞龙的传承人已经建立了工作坊来展示传统艺术的各个方面，从制作技巧到基本的舞蹈技巧。根据语境可知，句子表示“舞龙的传承人已经建立了工作坊来展示传统艺术的各个方面”，因此空格处用不定式to demonstrate表目的，故填to demonstrate。 【45题详解】 考查连词。句意：2022年6月，香港大坑火龙博物馆开馆，它让更多的人了解这一传统舞蹈文化。根据语境可知，句子表示“香港大坑火龙博物馆开馆，它让更多的人了解这一传统舞蹈文化”，前后两句话之间是承接关系，因此空格处用and表承接，故填and。 第四部分 写作(共两节，满分40分) 第一节 应用文写作(满分15分) 46. 党的二十大(the 20th CPC National Congress)报告指出，要建设全民终身学习的学习型社会和学习型大国。请你根据这一会议精神，写一篇演讲稿，题为“Be a Lifelong Learner”，内容包括： 1. 终身学习重要性; 2. 如何终身学习。 注意： 1. 写作词数应为80左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Be a Lifelong Learner ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Be a Lifelong Learner The report by the 20th CPC National Congress has pointed out we are living in a remarkable time which is calling us to break new ground and display full talents.

This high school was definitely bigger than the one I had previously attended. This was my second year of high school, but my first year of school in St. Louis. I had decided the night before that I would be much happier in a new school if I made friends that were so-called “popular”. Getting in with the right group of people would make my life a whole lot better. I even bought a new outfit and had my hair styled just so the first day would be perfect. Scared, yet anxious to begin my new life, I walked up the stairs to the front door. The halls were packed with kids yelling and laughing and telling stories of their summer adventures. My first class was geometry, but where was that? I was standing in the hall looking confused, when a short, blond girl wearing glasses came up and asked, “Are you new? You look lost. Do you need help? My name is Diane. What’s yours?” Even though she seemed a bit strange, definitely not the kind of person I wanted to be associated with, I decided to answer her anyway. I was, after all, lost. After exchanging names. I followed her up the stairs and down a hallway on the right, making polite conversation the whole way. When we reached my room she said, “Well, here you are. Welcome to JFK, and I hope your day goes all right.” I said thanks and waved good-bye. Once inside the classroom, I saw one big group of people huddled around someone who seemed to be telling some sort of story. I walked over and got close enough to overhear. All eyes were glued to the guy in the middle of the circle who was wearing a letter jacket covered with patches. I decided that this guy was popular, so I managed to get a seat right next to him. I said, “Hi, my name is Lisa and I’m new here.” He said, “Johnny.” 注意：1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右： 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置答题。 At the end of the class, I turned to him and asked, “I’m not sure where my next class is, could you help me?” ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Just at that time, someone came up and tapped me on the shoulder. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One Possible Version: At the end of the class, I turned to him and asked, “I’m not sure where my next class is, could you help me?” With a frown, he looked at me and then said a quick no, turned back to his friends, and walked out of the classroom. As they were walking out I heard him say, “Did you guys see that new girl trying to get into our group? That outfit was too strange.” They all laughed and some of them turned around and stared at me. My face hot with shame, I stood stock-still, not believing what had just happened. Just at that time, someone came up and tapped me on the shoulder. It was Diane. Like a ray of sunshine, the big smile on her face swept away my gloom. I struggled to hold my feelings back and told her what I had encountered. A gleam of concern in her eyes, she said she was sorry and offered to find my next class. At that moment I realized how wrong I was in wanting to only be friends with popular people. Maybe I shouldn’t decide whether a person is worth being my friend or not by their reputation, but by who they are. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者高中第二年是在圣路易斯的第一年，作者在学校认识了Diane，Diane给作者指路。结果作者因为穿着被班上的同学嘲笑，Diane也对作者表示了关心，作者也感悟到不应该只和受欢迎的人交朋友。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“下课的时候，我转向他问：‘我不知道下节课在哪里，你能帮我吗？’”可知，第一段可描写对方的反应以及作者被嘲笑的经过。 ②由第二段首句内容“就在那时，有人走过来拍了拍我的肩膀”可知，第二段可描写Diane帮助作者以及作者的感悟。 2.续写线索：询问——拒绝——嘲笑——帮助——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①走出：walk out of/step out of ②融入：get into/fit into ③抑制：hold back/restrain 情绪类 ①奇怪的：strange /odd ②担心：concern /worry 【点睛】[高分句型1] My face hot with shame, I stood stock-still, not believing what had just happened.(运用了what引导的宾语从句) [高分句型2] Maybe I shouldn’t decide whether a person is worth being my friend or not by their reputation, but by who they are.
