As the world’s third largest island with tropical rain forest, it lies in Southeast Asia. I lived on Borneo and was fortunate to have many wild animals visit my backyard. During the first week in our home, I found a few eggs in a bed of dirt. I was told they were the eggs of a black spitting cobra (眼镜蛇) which was common here. Poison from its bite can kill a person in one to six hours. However, a cobra makes its living by eating small animals. It strikes at humans only in self-defense. We could live with our cobra by being careful not to surprise or scare it. As a family, my husband and I and our three children thought of ways to be on the lookout. We made up chants and rhymes that we recited aloud so that we were alert and aware whenever we set foot outdoors. One went: Cobra, cobra, are you there? Please don’t fall onto my hair. The other day, the snake was on a branch of an oil-palm tree, less than ten feet from where we were sipping tea. Everyone came out to see it, and chairs were arranged as if for a concert. Its skin was jet-black. It glistened in the sun and lay still. Only through the binoculars (望远镜) could we see her breathing. She seemed to enjoy all the attention. As we stared openmouthed at her grace she missed a branch and fell splat to the ground. We burst out laughing as she recovered and wriggled up the tree. I joked with my husband it was funny the way the cobra was showing off so much that it got too sure of itself and fell. He replied snakes probably do not think like humans. Then I realized a snake would naturally stay near the oil-palm tree whose cores are a rich source of food for mice and squirrels. Small mammals are the cobra’s favorite meal. We shared the garden with the cobra for the rest of our stay and were sad indeed when we had to move and leave Borneo. 4. Why did we sing out “Cobra, cobra, are you there”? A. To scare away cobras. B. To draw cobras’ attention. C. To caution ourselves against dangers. D. To remind ourselves of small mammals. 5. What can be learned about the cobra? A. It is into humans. B. It thinks like humans. C. Its favorite food is eggs. D. It is dangerous when threatened. 6. Why did the cobra stay on an oil-palm tree? A. For food. B. For rest. C. For pleasure. D. For sunbathing. 7. What is the purpose of writing the passage? A. To show respect for mother nature. B. To call on people to protect snakes. C. To share an interesting life experience. D. To introduce a common cobra to readers. C What’s the oldest meal you’ve eaten? Maybe you’ve had leftovers from a few days ago. They probably still tasted good. But what if it wasn’t a few days ago, what if you ate a 60-day old stew (炖菜)? Or a 49-year-old beef noodle soup? Perpetual stew is a dish that is never taken off the heat; it’s never finished. As portions are served, new ingredients are put in the pot to replace them. One day’s stew becomes the basis of the following days’ meals. This year, Annie Rauwerda’s 60-day stew became a social media hit. One Bangkok restaurant claims to have been cooking its beef noodle soup since the 1970s. It has been suggested that perpetual stew was a tradition in Medieval Europe when the effort required to start a fire meant that they were left to burn all day, and a pot of stew was always simmering (煨) away on top of it. One New York Times article tells us about a stew in Normandy that was kept cooking for 300 years. This tradition may date back to the Middle Ages, but thankfully, our understanding of food hygiene (卫生) has developed since then. In a world where food is often thrown away once it reaches its use-by date, many people have asked how safe perpetual stew can actually be. Experts are divided, some maintain that as long as the stew is kept bubbling away at a temperature too high for bacteria to survive, it should be safe. Others suggest that meat can become dangerous if it’s left in the stew for too long. Concerns have also been raised that some vegetables, such as potatoes, or those containing nitrates (硝酸盐), could become more harmful the more they are reheated. Advocates of slow cooking believe that the best food takes time, but even they may be surprised by a months or years-old perpetual stew. 8. What is the key feature of perpetual stew? A. Ingredient. B. Taste. C. Time. D. Safety. 9. How is paragraph 2 developed? A. By describing process. B. By making comparison. C. By following time order. D. By offering some examples. 10. What is the author’s attitude towards perpetual stew? A. Indifferent. B. Neutral. C. Negative. D. Favorable. 11. What is the best title of the text? A. The Rise of Perpetual Stew. B. The History of Perpetual Stew. C. Perpetual Stew: Never Catching on. D. Perpetual Stew: Decades in the Making. D Meat, milk, cheese — just some of the things provided by goats. But now we can also add fire safety to this list. As wildfires damage increasingly large areas of the planet each year, goat herds may offer a way of reducing the risk. Wildfires are made possible by hot dry weather conditions as well as a supply of dead plants that serve as fuel. We may have limited control over the first factor, but we can control the second. Reducing the fuel load (易燃物总量) lowers the probability of wildfires occurring, as well as the amount of damage caused. This is where we can turn to goats to provide a solution. Goats are being used for landscape management in a number of places around the world, including Greece, Spain, Portugal, Chile and various parts of the United States. Goats have a very tough digestive system. Many kinds of plants that are poisonous to other animals can be easily eaten by goats. It’s not just fully-grow n plants that goats are able to deal with: any seeds that pass through a goat become non-viable and will not grow. Human clearance teams have to worry about getting to hard-to-reach vegetation areas but goats don’t. They are skilled mountain climbers and can stand on their hind (后面的) legs, reaching up to two metres to eat shrubs and grass that humans would struggle to reach. Because of this, using goats can reduce both the possibility of workplace accidents and the amount of money spent on fire protection measures. Goat herds have been found to clear some lands for a third of the price of human plants control teams. Cost and safety aren’t the only benefits. Goats are quieter than lawnmowers and people usually prefer to see goats grazing rather than litres of herbicide (除草剂) being sprayed on the land. Children are often fascinated to see the goats at work and this provides an opportunity to educate people about preventing wildfires. 12. What is at the mercy of human beings definitely about wildfires? A. Weather changes. B. The fuel amount. C. Worldwide diseases. D. Cheese production. 13. What does the underlined word “non-viable” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Developing successfully. B. Getting dangerous. C. Not capable of living. D. Not worth looking at. 14. Why are goats more suitable to fire safety task than men? A Because of their physical features. B. Because of their high intelligence. C. Because of their quite personality. D. Because of their diligence nature. 15. What might be talked about in the paragraph to follow? A. Why goats are useful. B. What has caused wildfires. C. How wildfires are prevented. D. How goat herds are managed. 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。 ____16____ Maybe it’s a walk in a forest, having a small garden or a few household plants.

And that is where this story begins. My sister Jeanne and I were born only 14 months apart, but by the time we were teenagers we had lost touch. By age 19, I had moved away from our home in Wisconsin to live on my father’s horse farm in Virginia, where I worked ultimately as a veterinary (兽医) assistant. Jeanne got married at 18, moved to Chicago, and became — well, I didn’t know what. We lived separate lives in separate states, and our connection somehow ended. Fast-forward about five years. I was 24 and on a trip with my fiancé to New York City, a place I had never been. It was appealing. I was used to riding my horse to the corner store where everyone knew everyone and everything going on in the quiet little cowpoke town of Driver, Virginia. We had gone to New York to visit my fiancé’s cousin and see the sights. We went to Little Italy, the Statue of Liberty, Chinatown, and several Manhattan clubs. I had never seen so many taxicabs in one spot in all my life. During a day of sightseeing, we were crossing a very busy street loaded with people. Everyone was in a hurry, hustling and bustling (熙来攘往). I had laughed at something my fiancé said, and I suddenly heard my name yelled from somewhere behind me: “Cheryl!” I froze in my steps in the middle of the road. Tears welled up uncontrollably in my eyes. I knew without a doubt that it was my sister Jeanne. I yelled back before even turning to look, “Jeanne?” 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。 It was her. “Oh my God!” ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Since that time, my sister and I have never been separated. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1-5 BAACC 6-10 ABBCB 11-15 ABCBC 16-20 ABCAC 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试 高考模拟调研卷英语（四） 英语测试卷共8页，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，请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，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。 例：How much is the shirt?

We could live with our cobra by being careful not to surprise or scare it.(然而，眼镜蛇以吃小动物为生。它攻击人类只是为了自卫。我们可以和眼镜蛇一起生活，小心不要惊吓它)”可知，眼镜蛇受到威胁时是危险的。故选D。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Then I realized a snake would naturally stay near the oil-palm tree whose cores are a rich source of food for mice and squirrels.(然后我意识到蛇自然会呆在油棕树附近，油棕树的核是老鼠和松鼠的丰富食物来源)”可知，眼镜蛇停留在油棕树上是为了食物。故选A。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“During the first week in our home, I found a few eggs in a bed of dirt. I was told they were the eggs of a black spitting cobra (眼镜蛇) which was common here. Poison from its bite can kill a person in one to six hours.

Maybe you’ve had leftovers from a few days ago. They probably still tasted good. But what if it wasn’t a few days ago, what if you ate a 60-day old stew (炖菜)? Or a 49-year-old beef noodle soup? Perpetual stew is a dish that is never taken off the heat; it’s never finished. As portions are served, new ingredients are put in the pot to replace them. One day’s stew becomes the basis of the following days’ meals. This year, Annie Rauwerda’s 60-day stew became a social media hit. One Bangkok restaurant claims to have been cooking its beef noodle soup since the 1970s. It has been suggested that perpetual stew was a tradition in Medieval Europe when the effort required to start a fire meant that they were left to burn all day, and a pot of stew was always simmering (煨) away on top of it. One New York Times article tells us about a stew in Normandy that was kept cooking for 300 years. This tradition may date back to the Middle Ages, but thankfully, our understanding of food hygiene (卫生) has developed since then. In a world where food is often thrown away once it reaches its use-by date, many people have asked how safe perpetual stew can actually be. Experts are divided, some maintain that as long as the stew is kept bubbling away at a temperature too high for bacteria to survive, it should be safe. Others suggest that meat can become dangerous if it’s left in the stew for too long. Concerns have also been raised that some vegetables, such as potatoes, or those containing nitrates (硝酸盐), could become more harmful the more they are reheated. Advocates of slow cooking believe that the best food takes time, but even they may be surprised by a months or years-old perpetual stew. 8. What is the key feature of perpetual stew? A. Ingredient. B. Taste. C. Time. D. Safety. 9. How is paragraph 2 developed? A. By describing process. B. By making comparison. C. By following time order. D. By offering some examples. 10. What is the author’s attitude towards perpetual stew? A. Indifferent. B. Neutral. C. Negative. D. Favorable. 11. What is the best title of the text? A. The Rise of Perpetual Stew. B. The History of Perpetual Stew. C. Perpetual Stew: Never Catching on. D. Perpetual Stew: Decades in the Making. 【答案】8. C 9. D 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了永久炖菜的内容、历史、专家的不同观点。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Perpetual stew is a dish that is never taken off the heat; it’s never finished. (永久炖菜是一道菜从来没有离开过火；它永远不会结束。)”可知，永久炖菜是不停火的烹饪方式，时间长是它的特色，故选C。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Perpetual stew is a dish that is never taken off the heat; it’s never finished. As portions are served, new ingredients are put in the pot to replace them. One day’s stew becomes the basis of the following days’ meals.

One New York Times article tells us about a stew in Normandy that was kept cooking for 300 years. (永久炖菜是一道菜从来没有离开过火；它永远不会结束。当一份一份上桌时，新的食材会被放入锅中代替它们。一天的炖菜成为接下来几天三餐的基础。今年，安妮·劳维尔达的60天炖菜成为社交媒体上的热门话题。曼谷一家餐馆声称从上世纪70年代就开始做牛肉面了。有人认为，永恒的炖菜是中世纪欧洲的一种传统，当时需要生火的努力意味着他们要整天燃烧，而一锅炖菜总是在上面煨着。《纽约时报》的一篇文章告诉我们，诺曼底的一种炖菜已经煮了300年。)”可知，第二段通过各种例子来描述永久炖菜。故选D。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Experts are divided, some maintain that as long as the stew is kept bubbling away at a temperature too high for bacteria to survive, it should be safe. Others suggest that meat can become dangerous if it’s left in the stew for too long. Concerns have also been raised that some vegetables, such as potatoes, or those containing nitrates (硝酸盐), could become more harmful the more they are reheated. (专家们对此意见不一，一些人坚持认为，只要炖菜在细菌无法生存的高温下不断冒泡，它就应该是安全的。另一些人则认为，如果肉在炖菜中放置太久，会变得危险。人们还担心，一些蔬菜，如土豆或含有硝酸盐的蔬菜，加热得越久，危害就越大。)”列出了专家的看法，没有表达作者的个人观点，写这篇文章，说明作者是中立的，故选B。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“What’s the oldest meal you’ve eaten? Maybe you’ve had leftovers from a few days ago. They probably still tasted good. But what if it wasn’t a few days ago, what if you ate a 60-day old stew (炖菜)? Or a 49-year-old beef noodle soup? (你吃过最早的一餐是什么时候?也许你吃了几天前的剩菜。它们可能仍然很好吃。但如果不是几天前，如果你吃了60天的炖菜呢？还是49年前的牛肉面汤？)”结合文章介绍了永久炖菜的内容、历史、专家的不同观点，可得知D选项“永久炖菜：几十年的制作”最符合文章标题。故选D。 D Meat, milk, cheese — just some of the things provided by goats. But now we can also add fire safety to this list. As wildfires damage increasingly large areas of the planet each year, goat herds may offer a way of reducing the risk. Wildfires are made possible by hot dry weather conditions as well as a supply of dead plants that serve as fuel. We may have limited control over the first factor, but we can control the second. Reducing the fuel load (易燃物总量) lowers the probability of wildfires occurring, as well as the amount of damage caused. This is where we can turn to goats to provide a solution. Goats are being used for landscape management in a number of places around the world, including Greece, Spain, Portugal, Chile and various parts of the United States. Goats have a very tough digestive system. Many kinds of plants that are poisonous to other animals can be easily eaten by goats. It’s not just fully-grow n plants that goats are able to deal with: any seeds that pass through a goat become non-viable and will not grow. Human clearance teams have to worry about getting to hard-to-reach vegetation areas but goats don’t. They are skilled mountain climbers and can stand on their hind (后面的) legs, reaching up to two metres to eat shrubs and grass that humans would struggle to reach. Because of this, using goats can reduce both the possibility of workplace accidents and the amount of money spent on fire protection measures. Goat herds have been found to clear some lands for a third of the price of human plants control teams. Cost and safety aren’t the only benefits. Goats are quieter than lawnmowers and people usually prefer to see goats grazing rather than litres of herbicide (除草剂) being sprayed on the land. Children are often fascinated to see the goats at work and this provides an opportunity to educate people about preventing wildfires. 12. What is at the mercy of human beings definitely about wildfires? A. Weather changes. B. The fuel amount. C. Worldwide diseases. D. Cheese production. 13. What does the underlined word “non-viable” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Developing successfully. B. Getting dangerous. C. Not capable of living. D. Not worth looking at. 14. Why are goats more suitable to fire safety task than men? A. Because of their physical features. B. Because of their high intelligence. C. Because of their quite personality. D. Because of their diligence nature. 15. What might be talked about in the paragraph to follow? A. Why goats are useful. B. What has caused wildfires. C How wildfires are prevented. D. How goat herds are managed. 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了如何利用山羊来减少山火。 12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Wildfires are made possible by hot dry weather conditions as well as a supply of dead plants that serve as fuel. We may have limited control over the first factor, but we can control the second. Reducing the fuel load (易燃物总量) lowers the probability of wildfires occurring, as well as the amount of damage caused. (炎热干燥的天气条件以及作为燃料的死植物供应使野火成为可能。我们可能无法控制第一个因素，但我们可以控制第二个因素。减少燃料负荷降低了发生野火的可能性，也降低了造成的损失。)”可知，野火对人类的影响有燃料量。故选B。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“Many kinds of plants that are poisonous to other animals can be easily eaten by goats. (许多对其他动物有毒的植物很容易被山羊吃。)”，“It’s not just fully-grow n plants that goats are able to deal with: any seeds that pass through a goat become”以及后文“and will not grow”可知，划线词与and will not grow为并列关系，说明经过任何通过山羊的种子都不能存活，也不会生长，故划线词意思是“不能生存”。故选C。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“They are skilled mountain climbers and can stand on their hind (后面的) legs, reaching up to two metres to eat shrubs and grass that humans would struggle to reach. Because of this, using goats can reduce both the possibility of workplace accidents and the amount of money spent on fire protection measures. Goat herds have been found to clear some lands for a third of the price of human plants control teams. (它们是熟练的登山者，可以用后腿站立，可以爬到两米高的地方，吃人类很难够到的灌木和草。正因为如此，使用山羊既可以减少工作场所事故的可能性，也可以减少用于消防措施的资金。人们发现，山羊群清理一些土地的成本是人类植物控制团队的三分之一。)”可知，山羊比人更适合消防安全任务是因为他们的身体特征。故选A。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。第一段导入山羊可以减少山火，第二段山火的不可控和可控的因素，山羊是一个解决方案，第三段山羊在减少山火方面的优势，第四段进一步说明优势，所以下一段可能讲述如何管理山羊群达到减少山火的目的，可知，在接下来的段落中可能会讨论如何管理山羊群。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。 ____16____ Maybe it’s a walk in a forest, having a small garden or a few household plants.

F 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了研究表明，接触绿色植物有很多好处，对此给出了室内园艺的建议。 【16题详解】 根据后文“Maybe it’s a walk in a forest, having a small garden or a few household plants. One study showed that patients at a hospital who had plants in their rooms reported less pain, lower blood pressure, less tiredness and less anxiety than patients without plants.(也许是在森林里散步，有一个小花园或一些家庭植物。一项研究表明，在医院里，房间里有植物的病人比没有植物的病人报告的疼痛、血压、疲劳和焦虑更少)”可知，本段主要说明了研究发现接触植物对健康有好处。故D选项“研究表明，接触绿色植物有很多好处”符合语境，故选D。 【17题详解】 根据上文“Rather than staying on the past or worrying about the future, plant care provides a feeling of current accomplishment.(不是停留在过去或担心未来，植物护理提供了一种当前的成就感)”可知，上文提到了植物让人对当前有成就感，故本句承接上文，对这一观点进行补充说明，B选项中present moment对应上文current accomplishment。故B选项“它能帮助人们专注于当下”符合语境，故选B。 【18题详解】 根据上文“Like any new skill or hobby, taking care of houseplants comes with a learning curve.

And that is where this story begins. My sister Jeanne and I were born only 14 months apart, but by the time we were teenagers we had lost touch. By age 19, I had moved away from our home in Wisconsin to live on my father’s horse farm in Virginia, where I worked ultimately as a veterinary (兽医) assistant. Jeanne got married at 18, moved to Chicago, and became — well, I didn’t know what. We lived separate lives in separate states, and our connection somehow ended. Fast-forward about five years. I was 24 and on a trip with my fiancé to New York City, a place I had never been. It was appealing. I was used to riding my horse to the corner store where everyone knew everyone and everything going on in the quiet little cowpoke town of Driver, Virginia. We had gone to New York to visit my fiancé’s cousin and see the sights. We went to Little Italy, the Statue of Liberty, Chinatown, and several Manhattan clubs. I had never seen so many taxicabs in one spot in all my life. During a day of sightseeing, we were crossing a very busy street loaded with people. Everyone was in a hurry, hustling and bustling (熙来攘往). I had laughed at something my fiancé said, and I suddenly heard my name yelled from somewhere behind me: “Cheryl!” I froze in my steps in the middle of the road. Tears welled up uncontrollably in my eyes. I knew without a doubt that it was my sister Jeanne. I yelled back before even turning to look, “Jeanne?” 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。 It was her. “Oh my God!” ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Since that time, my sister and I have never been separated. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 It was her. “Oh my God!” I screamed, and I began pushing people out of my way to get to her. The crowd started to part and, we must have seemed crazy. And there we were, standing in the middle of a Manhattan street, facing each other and smiling. I later asked how she’d known it was me—she never saw me! She said it was my laugh. I wouldn’t say my laugh is all that unusual, but I guess to a family member it’s infectious. It hits your heart and echoes in your mind. Since that time, my sister and I have never been separated. We both moved back to Wisconsin. We talk daily and share pleasure and sadness with each other. Many years have passed, and we are now in our 50s. Our meeting by chance wasn’t just a sign. I see it as more of a lesson, a reminder not to lose touch with loved ones. It is too easy to remain lost. After our sister-to-sister miracle, I don’t plan to let that happen again. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者来自一个破碎的家庭，从小和妹妹珍妮失去了联系。结果某天作者去纽约的时候，因为笑声被妹妹在人群中认了出来。姐妹相认，再也没有分开。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“是她。‘哦，我的上帝！’”可知，第一段可描写妹妹讲述是如何凭借笑声认出作者的。 ②由第二段首句内容“从那时起，我姐姐和我就再也没有分开过”可知，第二段可描写作者和妹妹交流感情以及作者的感悟。 2.续写线索：姐妹相认——解释原因——分享生活——作者感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①开始：begin/start ②看见：see/spot ③时间流逝：pass/go by 情绪类 ①有感染力的：infectious/ catching ②悲伤：sadness/sorrow 【点睛】[高分句型1] And there we were, standing in the middle of a Manhattan street, facing each other and smiling.
