This biometric portrait is not set in stone-it uses AI to track changes in your appearance, updating its model if you grow a beard, change your makeup style or get older and it also detects whether your eyes are open and your attention is directed at your phone. 8:30a.m You drive to work in your electric car Cars such as the Tesla can do most of the ordinary aspects of driving. The vehicle’s AI system collects data from eight cameras, identifies obstacles, lanes, intersections and traffic lights and decides what action to take, whether moving skillfully into an awkward parking spot or overtaking a slow lorry. But self-driving cars know only how to deal with situations they have seen before and an ongoing challenge is how to equip them for rare and unexpected events. 4:30p.m Your phone rings with a message from your Amazon Ring doorbell-a package has been delivered to your doorstep Last year, about one in five households in the UK reported having an AI-based home security system. Amazon Ring uses a motion-activated camera, heat sensor and radar and uses computer vision software to make users different when a person, or a package, is outside their property. Humans have a heavy heat signature and with the radar, the object moving in 3D spaces can be detected. 9:30p.m You scroll (滚动) through a newspaper article that contains a special ad As you read news articles, scroll through social media, make Google searches and buy things online, you leave a trail of clues about who you are, what you might want to spend your money on-that is incredibly valuable for digital advertisers. AI sifts (筛) this data for insights into your age, gender, lifestyle, income and your hobbies. This allows companies such as Google to serve up specific, targeted adverts that pop up as you scroll through a news article. 21. Which of the following is the disadvantage of electric cars? A. Tendency to cut in. B. Speeding on the lane. C. Uncontrolled parking areas. D. Lack of information about emergencies. 22. What can we learn about AI from the text? A. Apple’s Face ID may change your facial features. B. Self-driving vehicles can replace human drivers. C. About 20% of English homes adopt Amazon Ring. D. AI can work out your personal online preference. 23. What information does the text convey? A. We will live a better life with AI. B. AI enters many aspects of our life. C. The smartphone is a necessity for us. D. Personal information is no longer secure. B There's another universe not far from land. It lacks buildings, trees, cars, cellphones and the Internet. Seemingly limitless water extends uninterruptedly in all directions. Civilization goes away, along with any sign of humanity. And it is why I’m really interested in sailing. I grew up around boats. My father liked sailing and built them. My older sister and I were stuffed into a car nearly every summer weekend until my late teens to make the trip from northeast Indiana to the south shore of Lake Erie in Ohio, where Talisman built by my father waited patiently through the week. As a kid, I read the adventures of Robin Lee Graham, a traveller exploring the sea alone, in the pages of National Geographic and, later, in Graham’s book, Dove. However, it wasn’t until about 20 years ago, well into my adulthood, that I took up sailing in a serious way. I’ve made voyages in fair and stormy weather, on my own boats and those of my friends, and ranging from nearshore day sails to blue-water passages. Still, I’ve made plenty of mistakes. While living in Asia, a sailing friend and I set off across the South China Sea and intended to get to Thailand, only to be pushed by a late-season typhoon that forced us to make landfall in Vietnam, glad to be alive. Years later, my wife and I lived aboard our 37-foot ship, Symbiosis, while we saved enough to take a two-year leave from our jobs to journey down the U. S. Atlantic coast and through the Bahamas and the Caribbean. We visited many places that never see ships or airplanes and that are nearly impossible to reach anyway other than at the helm (舵柄) of a small boat. But boats are expensive and time-consuming. After returning from the Caribbean a few years ago, we decided to sell Symbiosis, determining to sail only “other people’s boats”. It didn’t last, though. A few months ago, we found a good deal on a smaller sailboat — easier to maintain but still capable of some short offshore journeys. I think we’ll name her Talisman. 24. What would the author do on summer weekends as a kid? A. He would explore the lost civilization. B. He would tour northeast Indiana by car. C. He would patiently wait for his father. D. He would sail with his father and his sister. 25. What can we learn about the book Dove? A. It is the most famous work by Graham. B. It was published in National Geographic. C. It has something to do with exploring the sea. D. It was an inspiration for the author’s writing. 26. Why did the author sell his ship Symbiosis? A. It didn’t function well. B. He couldn’t afford to maintain it. C. He was tired of sailing. D. He assumed others’ boats were better. 27. What is the author’s main purpose in writing the text? A. To show his passion for sailing boats. B. To stress the influence of adventures on him. C. To discuss the problems of sailing on the sea. D. To share his success in exploring the world. C Removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere is essential to meeting international climate goals, scientists say. Without it, it’s all but impossible to reach net-zero greenhouse gas emissions in time to limit global warming to 1.5 or 2 degrees Celsius, the primary targets of the Paris climate agreement. Yet carbon dioxide isn’t the only climate-warming gas that needs a sharp cutback in the atmosphere. Experts are turning their focus to methane (甲烷) as well. On Tuesday and Wednesday, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine hosted a workshop dedicated to atmospheric methane removal, which is the process of removing methane emissions directly from the air. The workshop included presentations by dozens of researchers and policy experts addressing questions about the science and effectiveness of methane removal, potential side effects and unintended consequences and the ways it should be governed and regulated. These presentations will be used to inform a forthcoming NASEM report on atmospheric methane removal. The study will examine the global need for methane removal, viable options for carrying it out and potential risks and benefits, while outlining a road map for future research. The subject is more complicated than carbon dioxide removal, which has received more attention and research. Methane has a far shorter lifetime in the atmosphere than carbon dioxide, yet it’s a much more powerful greenhouse gas while it lasts. The world already has warmed by more than 1 degree Celsius since the Industrial Revolution, and scientists estimate that methane may be responsible for as much as 0.5 degrees. Reducing methane emissions at their sources is a growing priority. However, Methane removal, by comparison, is more complex. For one thing, methane is far less abundant in the atmosphere than carbon dioxide, meaning methane capture systems must process much larger quantities of air in order to make a meaningful difference. For another, there are also uncertainties about unintended side effects of some emerging technologies. Adding chlorine (氯) to the atmosphere, for instance, can actually increase the lifetime of methane in the atmosphere if it isn’t carefully dosed. It can also attack the Earth’s protective ozone layer. Besides, chlorine-based methods could decrease certain other types of climate-warming gases in the atmosphere in addition to methane. 28. According to the passage, what is not the issue of the workshop? A. The effectiveness of methane removal. B. The side effects of removing methane. C. The predictable results of methane removal. D. The method of controlling methane removal. 29. What is the writing purpose of the 4th paragraph? A. To persuade the readers to focus on the presentation. B. To inform the readers of the significance of the study. C. To call on the people to reduce the Methane emission. D. To discuss about the problems that may arise from the removal. 30. Which of the following is not the reason why it is harder to remove methane than to remove carbon dioxide? A. The carbon dioxide has a longer lifetime in atmosphere. B. The methane is harder to be caught because of its traits. C. Scientists have doubts about the effectiveness of the methods. D. The new technologies may bring about the negative effects. 31. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. The NASEM faces a great challenge B. The methane contributes to global warming C. The government reports on methane removal D. The scientists explore pulling methane out of air D There are close to 7,000 languages spoken on Earth. However, it’s estimated that by the end of this century, up to 50% of them may be lost. It’s commonly thought that majority languages tend to be valued for being useful and for promoting progress, while minority languages are seen as barriers to progress, and the value placed on them is seen mainly as sentimental. But is sentimentality really the only motivation for preserving language diversity? Speakers of endangered languages often live in remote areas with unique landform. It is quite common for these languages to distinguish between hundreds more types of plants and animals than those known to modern science. For example, in Southeast Asia, some tribes have discovered the medicinal properties of over sixty-five hundred plant species. This has led to many of landmark achievements in medicine. It was once believed that the limits of one’s language defined the limits of one’s thought. This theory, called the Sapir-Wharf hypothesis (假说), has been largely rejected in favor of the improved version, which assumes that the language we speak does not set the limits of our thoughts, but it does direct our focus in certain ways. For example, English is a tense-based language. It’s nearly impossible: to talk about doing something without specifying the time — i. e. I went to the party(past), I’m going to the party(present), or I’ll go to the party(future). This differs from Chinese, where it’s perfectly reasonable to say, “I go to the party” without defining the “when”. Thus, part of the richness of language is that it allows us to organize the world in ‘so many unique ways. Some languages categorize the world in ways so different from our own that they are difficult to conceptualize (概念化). The United States employed native Navajo speakers to create a system of message coding during the Second World War. The Japanese were never able to break it, and the “code talkers” are often cited today as having helped decide the outcome of the war. As we’ve already seen, minority languages are valuable for many practical reasons. In conclusion, I’d say the short answer is yes — dying languages are certainly worth saving! 32 Why does the author list the numbers in the first paragraph? A. To alarm people. B. To offer background information. C. To reveal the topic. D. To arouse the readers’ interest. 33. What does the underlined word “sentimental” in the second paragraph mean? A. Emotional. B. Reliable. C. Reasonable. D. Experimental. 34. What benefit can endangered languages bring us according to the passage? A. Helping us discover drugs in more ways. B. Saving us the trouble of distinguishing different medicines. C. Making it possible for us to acquire a broader knowledge of nature. D. Inspiring us to learn more as to how to protect plants and animals. 35. What is the writing purpose of the passage? A. To explain ways of saving some languages. B. To correct the Sapir-Wharf hypothesis. C. To show how languages categorize the world. D. To prove the value of minority languages. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Be Less Judgmental Judgment is a cognitive ability that helps us assess people, situations, and relationships based on the sensory evidence available to us to come to conclusions and make decisions. ____36____ Here are multiple ways to be less judgmental.

Looking back, I honestly think I would be a different person if my mum hadn’t turned a dress into a life lesson I carry with me today. If we complained about not having what another kid did we’d hear something like I don’t care what so-and-so got for his birthday, you are not getting a car for your birthday or a lavish sweet-16 party. We had to earn our allowance (零用钱) by doing chores around the house. My brothers can no doubt remember hours spent cleaning the house. I can still remember how long it took to polish the legs of our dining table. Sometimes, I couldn’t even contain my envy of Chloe, a neighbourhood girl, always beautifully dressed, whose parents satisfied her with almost every need. One day, my mother drove me downtown to buy some household necessities-and there it was in the shopping window. Pink, lovely, delicately trimmed (镶嵌着) with lace, the dress winked (眨眼) at me and I knew I had to have it. “It’s beautiful, ” my mother said when I pointed it out to her. “What a beautiful dress! ” I tried to hide my desire at first. But then I guess I couldn’t stand it any longer. “Mum, please get it? I’ll do anything, but I need that dress. I love it. Please?” I was desperate. “You know,” she said, gently rubbing my back, “if you save up, you could buy this yourself.” “By the time I make enough, it’ll be sold!” “There might be a way,” she said. And so our paying plan unfolded. Mum bought the dress and put it safely in some hiding place where I couldn’t find. Each week I eagerly counted my growing savings increased by extra work. Weeks later, I counted and jumped for joy. Oh, I made it! I finally had the exact amount we’d agreed on Having put on my dress, I flew to school like a bird. However, the unthinkable happened. The moment I arrived at the school gate, Chloe appeared in exactly the same dress. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Hearing me crying loudly, Mum gently pushed open the door. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 利川市第一中学2024年高二下学期入学考试 英语试卷 本试卷共12页，共67小题。本试卷满分150分，考试用时120分钟。 注意事项： 1.答题前，先将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在试卷和答题卡上，并将准考证号条形码粘贴在答题卡上的指定位置。 2.选择题的作答：每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。写在试卷、草稿纸和答题卡上的非答题区域均无效。 3.非选择题的作答：用黑色签字笔直接答在答题卡上对应的答题区域内。写在试卷、草稿纸和答题卡上的非答题区域均无效。 4.考试结束后，请将本试卷和答题卡一并上交。 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。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】 What matters to the woman about the shoes?

However, little is known about how bees play. Scientists have discovered one way that bees could relax after a busy day making honey, playing with balls. They did different tests on bees playing with different things. The bees particularly liked playing with small wooden balls. The researchers said the way bees played was a little like how humans played. Younger bees rolled more balls than older ones, while adult males played with balls longer than adult females. The researchers experimented on 45 bumblebees in a specially designed test area. The bees were given two choices. The first choice was to fly or walk directly to get a sugary treat. The second choice was to get to the treat by going around different coloured wooden balls. Most of the bees decided to play with the balls and then get the treat. A researcher said bees have feelings. The minds of bees are more advanced than we thought. 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A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A There is a day in the life with AI, who follows your move: the way you travel, the food you eat, how you spend your money, the news you read and your social interactions... 7a.m You wake up and glance at your iPhone, which unlocks itself using facial recognition Apple’s Face ID changes your face to a set of numbers that act as your own unique identifier. This biometric portrait is not set in stone-it uses AI to track changes in your appearance, updating its model if you grow a beard, change your makeup style or get older and it also detects whether your eyes are open and your attention is directed at your phone. 8:30a.m You drive to work in your electric car Cars such as the Tesla can do most of the ordinary aspects of driving. The vehicle’s AI system collects data from eight cameras, identifies obstacles, lanes, intersections and traffic lights and decides what action to take, whether moving skillfully into an awkward parking spot or overtaking a slow lorry. But self-driving cars know only how to deal with situations they have seen before and an ongoing challenge is how to equip them for rare and unexpected events. 4:30p.m Your phone rings with a message from your Amazon Ring doorbell-a package has been delivered to your doorstep Last year, about one in five households in the UK reported having an AI-based home security system. Amazon Ring uses a motion-activated camera, heat sensor and radar and uses computer vision software to make users different when a person, or a package, is outside their property. Humans have a heavy heat signature and with the radar, the object moving in 3D spaces can be detected. 9:30p.m You scroll (滚动) through a newspaper article that contains a special ad As you read news articles, scroll through social media, make Google searches and buy things online, you leave a trail of clues about who you are, what you might want to spend your money on-that is incredibly valuable for digital advertisers. AI sifts (筛) this data for insights into your age, gender, lifestyle, income and your hobbies. This allows companies such as Google to serve up specific, targeted adverts that pop up as you scroll through a news article. 21. Which of the following is the disadvantage of electric cars? A. Tendency to cut in. B. Speeding on the lane. C. Uncontrolled parking areas. D. Lack of information about emergencies. 22. What can we learn about AI from the text? A. Apple’s Face ID may change your facial features. B. Self-driving vehicles can replace human drivers. C. About 20% of English homes adopt Amazon Ring. D. AI can work out your personal online preference. 23. What information does the text convey? A. We will live a better life with AI. B. AI enters many aspects of our life. C. The smartphone is a necessity for us. D. Personal information is no longer secure. 【答案】21. D 22. D 23. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要通过四个时间点做的事情，来说明人工智能进入了我们生活的方方面面。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“But self-driving cars know only how to deal with situations they have seen before and an ongoing challenge is how to equip them for rare and unexpected events.(但自动驾驶汽车只知道如何处理它们以前见过的情况，一个持续的挑战是如何装备它们应对罕见和意外事件)”可知，缺乏关于紧急情况的信息是电动汽车的缺点。故选D。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“AI sift (筛) this data for insights into your age, gender, lifestyle, income and your hobbies.(AI筛选这些数据来了解你的年龄、性别、生活方式、收入和爱好)”可知，人工智能可以计算出你的个人上网偏好。故选D。 【23题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“There is a day in the life with AI, who follows your move: the way you travel, the food you eat, how you spend your money, the news you read and your social interactions...(生活中总有一天，人工智能会跟踪你的一举一动：你旅行的方式、你吃的食物、你花钱的方式、你读的新闻和你的社交互动……)”结合文章主要通过四个时间点做的事情，来说明人工智能进入了我们生活的方方面面。可推知，文章传达的信息是人工智能进入我们生活的许多方面。故选B。 B There's another universe not far from land. It lacks buildings, trees, cars, cellphones and the Internet. Seemingly limitless water extends uninterruptedly in all directions. Civilization goes away, along with any sign of humanity. And it is why I’m really interested in sailing. I grew up around boats. My father liked sailing and built them. My older sister and I were stuffed into a car nearly every summer weekend until my late teens to make the trip from northeast Indiana to the south shore of Lake Erie in Ohio, where Talisman built by my father waited patiently through the week. As a kid, I read the adventures of Robin Lee Graham, a traveller exploring the sea alone, in the pages of National Geographic and, later, in Graham’s book, Dove. However, it wasn’t until about 20 years ago, well into my adulthood, that I took up sailing in a serious way. I’ve made voyages in fair and stormy weather, on my own boats and those of my friends, and ranging from nearshore day sails to blue-water passages. Still, I’ve made plenty of mistakes. While living in Asia, a sailing friend and I set off across the South China Sea and intended to get to Thailand, only to be pushed by a late-season typhoon that forced us to make landfall in Vietnam, glad to be alive. Years later, my wife and I lived aboard our 37-foot ship, Symbiosis, while we saved enough to take a two-year leave from our jobs to journey down the U. S. Atlantic coast and through the Bahamas and the Caribbean. We visited many places that never see ships or airplanes and that are nearly impossible to reach anyway other than at the helm (舵柄) of a small boat. But boats are expensive and time-consuming. After returning from the Caribbean a few years ago, we decided to sell Symbiosis, determining to sail only “other people’s boats”. It didn’t last, though. A few months ago, we found a good deal on a smaller sailboat — easier to maintain but still capable of some short offshore journeys. I think we’ll name her Talisman. 24. What would the author do on summer weekends as a kid? A. He would explore the lost civilization. B. He would tour northeast Indiana by car. C. He would patiently wait for his father. D. He would sail with his father and his sister. 25. What can we learn about the book Dove? A. It is the most famous work by Graham. B. It was published in National Geographic. C. It has something to do with exploring the sea. D. It was an inspiration for the author’s writing. 26. Why did the author sell his ship Symbiosis? A. It didn’t function well. B. He couldn’t afford to maintain it. C. He was tired of sailing. D. He assumed others’ boats were better. 27. What is the author’s main purpose in writing the text? A. To show his passion for sailing boats. B. To stress the influence of adventures on him. C. To discuss the problems of sailing on the sea. D. To share his success in exploring the world. 【答案】24. D 25. C 26. B 27. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者对航海的热爱以及航海经历。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段最后两句“I grew up around boats. My father liked sailing and built them.(我是在船周围长大的。我父亲喜欢帆船并造了它们。)”和第二段“My older sister and I were stuffed into a car nearly every summer weekend until my late teens to make the trip from northeast Indiana to the south shore of Lake Erie in Ohio, where Talisman built by my father waited patiently through the week.(几乎每个夏天的周末，我和姐姐都被塞进一辆车里，从印第安纳州东北部前往俄亥俄州的伊利湖南岸，父亲制造的Talisman在那里耐心地等待了整整一个星期。)”可以推论出，作者小时候在夏天的周末会和他的父亲和妹妹一起航行。故选D项。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段第一句“As a kid, I read the adventures of Robin Lee Graham, a traveller exploring the sea alone, in the pages of National Geographic and, later, in Graham’s book, Dove.(小时候，我读过《国家地理》杂志上的罗宾·李·格雷厄姆(Robin Lee Graham)的冒险故事，他是一位独自探索海洋的旅行者，后来又读过格雷厄姆的书Dove)”可以推论出，Dove这本书与探索海洋有关。故选C项。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段最后两句“We visited many places that never see ships or airplanes and that are nearly impossible to reach anyway other than at the helm (舵柄) of a small boat. But boats are expensive and time-consuming.(我们参观了许多从未见过船或飞机的地方，除了在小船的掌舵处，几乎不可能到达那里。但船既昂贵又费时。)”和第六段第一句“After returning from the Caribbean a few years ago, we decided to sell Symbiosis, determining to sail only “other people’s boats”(几年前从加勒比海回来后，我们决定出售Symbiosis，决定只驾驶“别人的船”。)”可以推论出，作者卖掉他的船Symbiosis是因为他没钱维护它。故选B项。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段的句子“And it is why I’m really interested in sailing.(这就是为什么我对航海很感兴趣。)”和全篇文章讲述的作者的航海经历可知，作者写文章是为了表达他对航海的热爱。故选A项。 C Removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere is essential to meeting international climate goals, scientists say. Without it, it’s all but impossible to reach net-zero greenhouse gas emissions in time to limit global warming to 1.5 or 2 degrees Celsius, the primary targets of the Paris climate agreement. Yet carbon dioxide isn’t the only climate-warming gas that needs a sharp cutback in the atmosphere. Experts are turning their focus to methane (甲烷) as well. On Tuesday and Wednesday, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine hosted a workshop dedicated to atmospheric methane removal, which is the process of removing methane emissions directly from the air. The workshop included presentations by dozens of researchers and policy experts addressing questions about the science and effectiveness of methane removal, potential side effects and unintended consequences and the ways it should be governed and regulated. These presentations will be used to inform a forthcoming NASEM report on atmospheric methane removal. The study will examine the global need for methane removal, viable options for carrying it out and potential risks and benefits, while outlining a road map for future research. The subject is more complicated than carbon dioxide removal, which has received more attention and research. Methane has a far shorter lifetime in the atmosphere than carbon dioxide, yet it’s a much more powerful greenhouse gas while it lasts. The world already has warmed by more than 1 degree Celsius since the Industrial Revolution, and scientists estimate that methane may be responsible for as much as 0.5 degrees. Reducing methane emissions at their sources is a growing priority. However, Methane removal, by comparison, is more complex. For one thing, methane is far less abundant in the atmosphere than carbon dioxide, meaning methane capture systems must process much larger quantities of air in order to make a meaningful difference. For another, there are also uncertainties about unintended side effects of some emerging technologies. Adding chlorine (氯) to the atmosphere, for instance, can actually increase the lifetime of methane in the atmosphere if it isn’t carefully dosed. It can also attack the Earth’s protective ozone layer. Besides, chlorine-based methods could decrease certain other types of climate-warming gases in the atmosphere in addition to methane. 28. According to the passage, what is not the issue of the workshop? A. The effectiveness of methane removal. B. The side effects of removing methane. C. The predictable results of methane removal. D. The method of controlling methane removal. 29. What is the writing purpose of the 4th paragraph? A. To persuade the readers to focus on the presentation. B. To inform the readers of the significance of the study. C. To call on the people to reduce the Methane emission. D. To discuss about the problems that may arise from the removal. 30. Which of the following is not the reason why it is harder to remove methane than to remove carbon dioxide? A. The carbon dioxide has a longer lifetime in atmosphere. B. The methane is harder to be caught because of its traits. C. Scientists have doubts about the effectiveness of the methods. D. The new technologies may bring about the negative effects. 31. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. The NASEM faces a great challenge B. The methane contributes to global warming C. The government reports on methane removal D. The scientists explore pulling methane out of air 【答案】28. C 29. B 30. A 31. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了周二和周三，美国国家科学院、工程院和医学院举办了一个专门讨论大气甲烷去除的研讨会，介绍了研讨会的议题以及进行这项研究的意义。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The workshop included presentations by dozens of researchers and policy experts addressing questions about the science and effectiveness of methane removal, potential side effects and unintended consequences and the ways it should be governed and regulated.(研讨会上，数十名研究人员和政策专家发表了演讲，讨论了甲烷去除的科学性和有效性、潜在的副作用和意想不到的后果，以及应该如何管理和监管甲烷的问题)”可知，甲烷去除的可预测结果不是研讨会的议题。故选C。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“These presentations will be used to inform a forthcoming NASEM report on atmospheric methane removal. The study will examine the global need for methane removal, viable options for carrying it out and potential risks and benefits, while outlining a road map for future research. The subject is more complicated than carbon dioxide removal, which has received more attention and research.(这些介绍将用于NASEM即将发布的关于大气甲烷去除的报告。该研究将审查全球对甲烷去除的需求、可行的实施方案以及潜在的风险和收益，同时为未来的研究勾勒出路线图。这一课题比二氧化碳的去除更为复杂，受到了更多的关注和研究)”可推知，第四段的写作目的是告知读者这项研究的意义。故选B。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“For one thing, methane is far less abundant in the atmosphere than carbon dioxide, meaning methane capture systems must process much larger quantities of air in order to make a meaningful difference. For another, there are also uncertainties about unintended side effects of some emerging technologies. Adding chlorine (氯) to the atmosphere, for instance, can actually increase the lifetime of methane in the atmosphere if it isn’t carefully dosed. It can also attack the Earth’s protective ozone layer. Besides, chlorine-based methods could decrease certain other types of climate-warming gases in the atmosphere in addition to methane.(首先，甲烷在大气中的含量远低于二氧化碳，这意味着甲烷捕获系统必须处理大量的空气，才能产生有意义的变化。另一方面，一些新兴技术的意外副作用也存在不确定性。例如，向大气中添加氯实际上可以增加大气中甲烷的寿命，如果不小心给它添加剂量的话。它还可以攻击地球的臭氧层。此外，除甲烷外，基于氯的方法还可以减少大气中某些其他类型的气候变暖气体)”可知，二氧化碳在大气中的寿命更长不是去除甲烷比去除二氧化碳更难的原因。故选A。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“Yet carbon dioxide isn’t the only climate-warming gas that needs a sharp cutback in the atmosphere. Experts are turning their focus to methane (甲烷) as well.(然而，二氧化碳并不是大气中唯一需要大幅削减的气候变暖气体。专家们也将注意力转向了甲烷)”结合文章主要说明了周二和周三，美国国家科学院、工程院和医学院举办了一个专门讨论大气甲烷去除的研讨会，介绍了研讨会的议题以及进行这项研究的意义。由此可知，D选项“科学家们探索从空气中提取甲烷”最符合文章标题。故选D。 D There are close to 7,000 languages spoken on Earth. However, it’s estimated that by the end of this century, up to 50% of them may be lost. It’s commonly thought that majority languages tend to be valued for being useful and for promoting progress, while minority languages are seen as barriers to progress, and the value placed on them is seen mainly as sentimental. But is sentimentality really the only motivation for preserving language diversity? Speakers of endangered languages often live in remote areas with unique landform. It is quite common for these languages to distinguish between hundreds more types of plants and animals than those known to modern science. For example, in Southeast Asia, some tribes have discovered the medicinal properties of over sixty-five hundred plant species. This has led to many of landmark achievements in medicine. It was once believed that the limits of one’s language defined the limits of one’s thought. This theory, called the Sapir-Wharf hypothesis (假说), has been largely rejected in favor of the improved version, which assumes that the language we speak does not set the limits of our thoughts, but it does direct our focus in certain ways. For example, English is a tense-based language. It’s nearly impossible: to talk about doing something without specifying the time — i. e. I went to the party(past), I’m going to the party(present), or I’ll go to the party(future). This differs from Chinese, where it’s perfectly reasonable to say, “I go to the party” without defining the “when”. Thus, part of the richness of language is that it allows us to organize the world in ‘so many unique ways. Some languages categorize the world in ways so different from our own that they are difficult to conceptualize (概念化). The United States employed native Navajo speakers to create a system of message coding during the Second World War. The Japanese were never able to break it, and the “code talkers” are often cited today as having helped decide the outcome of the war. As we’ve already seen, minority languages are valuable for many practical reasons. In conclusion, I’d say the short answer is yes — dying languages are certainly worth saving! 32. Why does the author list the numbers in the first paragraph? A. To alarm people. B. To offer background information. C. To reveal the topic. D. To arouse the readers’ interest. 33. What does the underlined word “sentimental” in the second paragraph mean? A. Emotional. B. Reliable. C. Reasonable. D. Experimental. 34. What benefit can endangered languages bring us according to the passage? A. Helping us discover drugs in more ways. B. Saving us the trouble of distinguishing different medicines. C Making it possible for us to acquire a broader knowledge of nature. D. Inspiring us to learn more as to how to protect plants and animals. 35. What is the writing purpose of the passage? A. To explain ways of saving some languages. B. To correct the Sapir-Wharf hypothesis. C. To show how languages categorize the world. D. To prove the value of minority languages. 【答案】32. D 33. A 34. C 35. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了地球上的许多语言正在消失，少数民族语言被视为进步的障碍，但实际上濒危语言可以让我们获得更广泛的自然知识，是值得拯救的。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“There are close to 7,000 languages spoken on Earth. However, it’s estimated that by the end of this century, up to 50% of them may be lost. (地球上有近7000种语言。然而，据估计，到本世纪末，它们中的50%可能会消失。)”以及第二段“It’s commonly thought that majority languages tend to be valued for being useful and for promoting progress, while minority languages are seen as barriers to progress, and the value placed on them is seen mainly as sentimental. But is sentimentality really the only motivation for preserving language diversity? (人们普遍认为，多数语言往往因为有用和促进进步而受到重视，而少数民族语言则被视为进步的障碍，对它们的重视主要是出于情感上的考虑。但是，感情用事真的是保护语言多样性的唯一动机吗？)”可推知，作者在第一段列出数字是为了引起读者的兴趣。故选D。 【33题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“It’s commonly thought that majority languages tend to be valued for being useful and for promoting progress, while minority languages are seen as barriers to progress”可知，人们普遍认为，多数语言往往因为有用和促进进步而受到重视，而少数民族语言则被视为进步的障碍，所以对少数民族的重视主要是出于情感上的考虑。故划线词意思是“情感的”。故选A。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Speakers of endangered languages often live in remote areas with unique landform. It is quite common for these languages to distinguish between hundreds more types of plants and animals than those known to modern science. For example, in Southeast Asia, some tribes have discovered the medicinal properties of over sixty-five hundred plant species. This has led to many of landmark achievements in medicine. (说濒危语言的人往往生活在地形独特的偏远地区。这些语言能区分的动植物种类比现代科学所知的多出数百种，这是很常见的。例如，在东南亚，一些部落已经发现了超过6500种植物的药用特性。这导致了医学上许多里程碑式的成就。)”可知，濒危语言带来的好处是可以使我们有可能获得更广泛的自然知识。故选C。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“As we’ve already seen, minority languages are valuable for many practical reasons. In conclusion, I’d say the short answer is yes —dying languages are certainly worth saving! (正如我们已经看到的，少数民族语言在许多实际原因上是有价值的。总之，我想说简短的答案是肯定的——濒临灭绝的语言当然值得拯救！)”可推知，文章的写作目的是证明少数民族语言的价值。故选D。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Be Less Judgmental Judgment is a cognitive ability that helps us assess people, situations, and relationships based on the sensory evidence available to us to come to conclusions and make decisions. ____36____ Here are multiple ways to be less judgmental. Pay Attention to Your Thoughts The first step to being less judgmental is to recognize that you’re doing it. Start paying more attention to your thoughts, so you can identify when you’re being judgmental. ___37___ If you have a negative view of someone, ask yourself what it’s based on. Did yon formulate your view based on facts? Do you have all the relevant information or do you need to inquire further about the situation? Make an effort to explore all the possible sources of information before coming to a conclusion. ____38____ Recognize Your Biases ____39____Recognize that your own view of life is limited based on your own experiences: Be Empathetic Practice empathy and compassion for people, even if they look, think, dress, speak, or act differently than you do. Expand Your Horizons Make an effort to expand your horizons and expose yourself to new ideas and perspectives. Meet new people and talk to them about their lives. ____40____ Read lots of books and watch informative content. Travel as much as you are able to. A. Reduce Your Negativity B. Question Your Assumptions C. Experiment with different activities and try new foods. D. Be aware of your own prejudices and cultural standards. E. Do you base your view on facts and hard evidence? F. If this isn’t possible, consider leaving your opinion neutral or open-ended. G. While this is an important capability, it’s important for us not to be overly critical of others. 【答案】36. G 37. B 38. F 39. D 40. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了如何减少对他人的评判，以及变得更加包容和开放的方法。 【36题详解】 上文“Judgment is a cognitive ability that helps us assess people, situations, and relationships based on the sensory evidence available to us to come to conclusions and make decisions. (评判是一种认知能力，它可以帮助我们根据感官证据来评估人、情况和关系，从而得出结论并做出决定)”说明评判的作用和好处，下文“Here are multiple ways to be less judgmental.(这里有几种方法可以减少评判)”却说要减少评判，上文和下文之间有转折关系，G项“While this is an important capability, it’s important for us not to be overly critical of others.(虽然这是一种重要的能力，但对我们来说，不要过度批评他人也很重要)”承上启下，说明不能对他人过度评判，引出下文，上下文衔接自然。故选G项。 【37题详解】 设空句是段首小标题。根据下文“If you have a negative view of someone, ask yourself what it’s based on. Did yon formulate your view based on facts? Do you have all the relevant information or do you need to inquire further about the situation? Make an effort to explore all the possible sources of information before coming to a conclusion.(如果你对某人有负面看法，问问自己这是基于什么。你的观点是基于事实的吗?你是否掌握了所有相关信息，还是需要进一步了解情况?在得出结论之前，努力探索所有可能的信息来源)”可知，本段提出对自己的看法要进行质疑，要去弄清事实与真相，所以B项“Question Your Assumptions(质疑你的设想)”是最佳标题。故选B项。 【38题详解】 上文“Did yon formulate your view based on facts? Do you have all the relevant information or do you need to inquire further about the situation? Make an effort to explore all the possible sources of information before coming to a conclusion.(你的观点是基于事实的吗?你是否掌握了所有相关信息，还是需要进一步了解情况?在得出结论之前，努力探索所有可能的信息来源)”提出要去探索信息来源，F项“If this isn’t possible, consider leaving your opinion neutral or open-ended.(如果这是不可能的，考虑让你的观点保持中立或开放式)”承接上文，说明结果：如果发现自己的设想没有可靠的信息来源，是不可能的，那么就应当改变观点，上下文语意连贯。故选F项。 【39题详解】 根据小标题“Recognize Your Biases(认识到你的偏见)”可知，本段建议认识自己的偏见，D项“Be aware of your own prejudices and cultural standards.(注意你自己的偏见和文化标准)”与主题一致，句中“prejudices”照应小标题中“Biases”。故选D项。 【40题详解】 上文“Make an effort to expand your horizons and expose yourself to new ideas and perspectives. Meet new people and talk to them about their lives. (努力扩大你的视野，让自己接触新的想法和观点。认识新朋友，和他们谈谈他们的生活)”和下文“Read lots of books and watch informative content. Travel as much as you are able to.(多读书，多看内容丰富的节目。尽可能多地旅行)”列举了多项可以拓展视野的活动，C项“Experiment with different activities and try new foods.(尝试不同的活动，尝试新的食物)”与上下文构成并列关系，同样列举了可以开拓视野的活动，照应主题“Expand Your Horizons(开阔眼界)”。故选C项。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题，每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I often read of incidents of misunderstanding or conflict.

Looking back, I honestly think I would be a different person if my mum hadn’t turned a dress into a life lesson I carry with me today. If we complained about not having what another kid did, we’d hear something like I don’t care what so-and-so got for his birthday, you are not getting a car for your birthday or a lavish sweet-16 party. We had to earn our allowance (零用钱) by doing chores around the house. My brothers can no doubt remember hours spent cleaning the house. I can still remember how long it took to polish the legs of our dining table. Sometimes, I couldn’t even contain my envy of Chloe, a neighbourhood girl, always beautifully dressed, whose parents satisfied her with almost every need. One day, my mother drove me downtown to buy some household necessities-and there it was in the shopping window. Pink, lovely, delicately trimmed (镶嵌着) with lace, the dress winked (眨眼) at me and I knew I had to have it. “It’s beautiful, ” my mother said when I pointed it out to her. “What a beautiful dress! ” I tried to hide my desire at first. But then I guess I couldn’t stand it any longer. “Mum, please get it? I’ll do anything, but I need that dress. I love it. Please?” I was desperate. “You know,” she said, gently rubbing my back, “if you save up, you could buy this yourself.” “By the time I make enough, it’ll be sold!” “There might be a way,” she said. And so our paying plan unfolded. Mum bought the dress and put it safely in some hiding place where I couldn’t find. Each week I eagerly counted my growing savings increased by extra work. Weeks later, I counted and jumped for joy. Oh, I made it! I finally had the exact amount we’d agreed on Having put on my dress, I flew to school like a bird. However, the unthinkable happened. The moment I arrived at the school gate, Chloe appeared in exactly the same dress. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Hearing me crying loudly, Mum gently pushed open the door. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文： The moment I arrived at the school gate, Chloe appeared in exactly the same dress. At the sight of this horrible turn of events, I was green with envy. “How ridiculous!” my heart sank. For Chloe, getting such a dress was merely a piece of cake, while for me, I had to do it with all my might. With a mixed feeling of rage and grief, I dashed home to tell my mother about this disaster. “It’s unfair!” I exclaimed with fury, storming into my room and slamming the door before she could respond. Hearing me crying, Mum gently pushed open the door. “Honey, are you OK?” she walked up to me, gathered me into her arms and tenderly wiped away my tears. “Look!” she pointed at the shiny dress hanging in the most visible place, adding “Your dress is the most precious one because you paid for it. Don’t you think so?” On hearing what she said, I felt much relieved. “Yes, you earned it through hard work,” a firm and cheerful voice answered in my heart. Nothing could be better than gaining the precious thing in that way! 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。讲述了作者的母亲从小就培养他们的独立意识，要求孩子们必须通过做家务来挣钱去买自己想要的东西。作者看中一件漂亮的裙子，等攒够了足够的钱时，却发现同班女孩非常轻易地就拥有同样的裙子，作者感到非常不公平，最终在母亲的开导下，意识到通过自己的努力获得的东西才是最有价值的。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我一到学校门口，克洛伊就穿着同样的衣服出现了。”可知，第一段可描写作者看到同学穿着同样的裙子的反应。 ②由第二段首句内容“听到我的哭声，妈妈轻轻地推开门。”可知，第二段可描写母亲对作者的开导和教育。 2.续写线索：做家务挣零花钱——相中裙子——努力攒钱——感到不公——母亲开导——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①冲进家：dash home/rush home ②大叫：exclaim/shout ③走近：walk up to/approach to 情绪类 ①温柔地：tenderly/fondly ②开心的：cheerful/joyful/delighted 【点睛】[高分句型1]“It’s unfair!” I exclaimed with fury, storming into my room and slamming the door before she could respond.（运用了现在分词作状语及before引导时间状语从句） [高分句型2]On hearing what she said, I felt much relieved.（运用了what引导的宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$null
