During the Cannes Film Festival in May, nothing changes, except that there are more people doing this, and that they talk about film. Here’s a guide to what you should do during the festival, both film-related and not. Hotel Intercontinental Carlton The film festival is a busy time for Cannes. The best way to appreciate the crowds might be having a dinner on a terrace(露天平台). Head to the Hotel Intercontinental Carlton and wander the lobby to take it all in. If you’re lucky you might be able to secure a table in the restaurant. Dress to impress or you won’t stand a chance of getting in. Cinema de la Plage Throughout the Cannes Film Festival one of the best places to soak up some of the wonderful atmosphere is the open-air Cinema de la Plage at Mace beach. If you haven’t secured a ticket in advance for a seat, there’s no need to worry. You can spread a blanket out on the ground, open up your pre-prepared picnic, and enjoy the movie. Marché Forville The Marché Forville is a must-see for any visitor to Cannes and a foodie’s delight. On most days, vendors sell home-made fruits and vegetables as well as local specialties to eat for lunch. But don’t go on Mondays, unless you want to browse for bargains, as that’s when the flea market is on instead. La Croisette La Croisette is the most famous walk in Cannes and is listed under the cultural inventory of France itself. Stroll the whole length, stop for a coffee, and end your walk by sitting on one of the free blue chairs along the way while taking in the view. It is also a great place to admire Cannes’ sculptures. 21. What is probably the intention of the text? A. To introduce French culture. B. To present dining locations. C. To publicize a film festival. D. To suggest tourism activities. 22. Which place best suits people who enjoy shopping? A. Hotel Intercontinental Carlton. B. Cinema de la Plage. C. Marché Forville. D. La Croisette. 23. What can be expected in Cannes during the festival? A. Attending fashion shows. B. Watching movies outdoors. C. Tasting imported farm produce. D. Experiencing sculpture production. B Buying clothes for special events, hiding the price tickets and returning them to the store the next day has for years been the method of money-saving shoppers. Today people are doing it just for social media. A survey conducted by the credit card company Barclaycard showed that nearly one in ten UK shoppers admits to buying clothing only to post photos on social media for likes. After the “outfit (装束) of the day” (OOTD) makes it online, they return it back to the store. According to Barclaycard, the “try before you buy” policy of online retailers (零售商) — where people pay for clothing they order online after they try it on at home — could be leading to this rising trend. But the rise of social media means that everyone, not just superstars, expects to build and maintain a personal brand. Since we’re recording our lives and posting them online for public judgement, getting caught in the same outfits more than once should be avoided. And the cost of all those outfits of the day adds up, which makes returning a popular way. There are brands that make clothes specially for social media shoppers, like Fashion Nova. “These are clothes made for social media: meant to be worn once, photographed and abandoned,” Allison P. Davis wrote in her report about the brand. Another favourite of the social media age is Rent the Runway, which lets customers rent designer clothing for a fee. Some, however, are moving in the opposite direction. Groups promoting “work uniforms” have increased greatly in recent years, aiming to free women from “the trouble of clothing decisions”. The concept of the “capsule wardrobe (胶囊衣橱)”, which calls for purchasing a small number of high-quality pieces instead of lots of trendy throwaway clothes, is also making a comeback. 24. What does the survey by Barclaycard suggest? A. Britons follow the fashion stars closely. B. Some Britons over-order and return clothes. C. Britons try on clothes before online purchases. D. Some Britons send outfits back after taking pictures. 25. What’s Fashion Nova’s special service? A. Renting top designers’ clothes. B. Offering customers single-use clothes. C. Creating unique shopping experiences. D. Helping shoppers improve their clothing style. 26. What’s the idea behind the “capsule wardrobe”? A. Better fewer, but better. B. Less addition, but more enjoyment. C. Less uniform, and more freedom. D. More choices, and less trouble. 27. Why does the author write the text? A. To compare different wearing trends. B. To introduce Britain’s new wearing trend. C. To support buying high-quality clothes. D. To criticize the “try before you buy” policy. C In the late 1990s, a family visited the public elementary school where I taught deaf students. They said they would be moving to the district and planned to enroll (报名) their deaf daughter as a first grader. They were upset that their child’s kindergarten teacher Jane cautioned them not to have high hopes for her academically. Based upon assessment results, the teacher painted a discouraging picture for their little girl’s future. Standing behind them was Fiona, a beautiful five-year -old with long shiny brown hair and dark flashing eyes. The whole time her parents were there she didn’t make a sound or use sign language, even when her parents encouraged her. After a few weeks with Fiona, I discovered I was dealing with a very bright, very strong-willed child. Although I was able to engage her in a variety of learning activities, writing was a continual struggle. I tried all kinds of ways to interest her in writing. Every time the pencils came out, she would shut down and refuse to participate. One day Fiona got off her bus and stood in front of the school, weeping. The staff members present did not know enough sign language to ask her why she was crying. Finally they took her into the office where they handed her a pen and notepad. Fiona wrote: “PACBAK”. Immediately the office staff realized she left her backpack on the bus. They asked the bus to come back to school and soon Fiona was reunited with her backpack. That day Fiona discovered the power of the pen. From then on, she had a new appreciation for writing. She is a young woman now and has become an excellent writer, public speaker and student leader. During her senior year in high school, Fiona became the Douglas County Rodeo Queen and the following year she enrolled at the University of Northern Colorado, determined to become a teacher. In the summer of 2008, I traveled to the National Association of the Deaf Conference in New Orleans and watched her perform competitively as Miss Deaf Colorado. Fiona keeps in touch and I especially treasure her e-mails with term papers attached. This young lady has a very powerful pen! 28. What made Fiona’s parents upset? A. Fiona’s being unable to hear anything at birth. B. Fiona’s being refused by the elementary school. C. Fiona failure to use the sign language properly. D. Fiona’s possible unpromising future in Jane’s mind. 29. What was a constant challenge to the author when educating Fiona? A. Fiona’s lack of determination in learning. B. Fiona’s extreme unwillingness to write. C. Fiona’s bad relationship with the teacher. D. Fiona’s incompetence in handling pencils. 30. What can we learn about Fiona? A. She treasured the e-mails from her teacher very much. B. She travelled to New Orleans to give thanks to her teacher. C. She succeeded as a result of her affection for writing. D. She decided to be a writer at the University of Northern Colorado. 31. Which can be a suitable title for the text? A. Power of the Pen B. Ambition of a Deaf Girl C. Appreciation of the Pen D. Spelling of a Backpack D Is there anything Sponges (海绵) can’t do? For thousands of years, humans have used dried natural sponges to clean up, to paint and as containers to consume liquids like water or honey. And, as scientists around the world are beginning to show, sponges’ cavity-filled (空腔填充) forms mean they could provide a solution to one of our era’s biggest problems: microplastic pollution. In August, researchers in China published a study describing their development of a man-made sponge that makes short work of microscopic plastic debris (碎片). In tests, the researchers show that when a specially prepared plastic-filled solution is pushed through one of their sponges, the sponge can remove both microplastics and even smaller nanoplastics from the liquid. These particles typically become trapped in the sponge’s many openings. Though the sponges’ effectiveness varied in experiments, in part depending on the concentration of plastic and the acidity and saltiness of the liquid, the best conditions allowed the researchers to remove as much as 90 percent of the microplastics. They tried it in everything from tap water and seawater to — why not — soup from a local takeout spot. According to Guoging Wang, a materials chemist at Ocean University of China and co-author on the paper, the sponge formula is adjustable. By adjusting the temperature when the two compounds are mixed, he says, the sponges can be made more or less porous (渗透). This affects the size of particles collected — highly porous sponges have lots of very small pores, which is good for catching very tiny particles. The sponges, if ever produced at an industrial scale, Wang says, could be used in wastewater treatment plants to remove microplastics out of the water or in food production facilities to depollute water. There are hiccups to the sponge’s potential adoption, though What’s still lacking, says AliceHorton at the United Kingdom’s National Oceanography Center, is proof that any of these newer sponge-based technologies can be cost effective and successful in removing microplastics from water at a large scale. But one thing she is confident about is that efforts to remove microplastics after they have already reached the ocean are probably doomed to fail. “I don’t think there is anything we can do on a large enough scale that will have any impact,” she says of that. “We have to stop it getting there in the first place.” 32 Why does the author mention multiple applications of sponges in paragraph 1? A. To introduce sponges’ newfound function. B. To highlight that sponges can do anything. C To prove that sponges boast a long history. D. To demonstrate sponges’ cavity-filled forms. 33. What can we learn about the man-made sponge? A. Its effectiveness is uniform in experiments. B. Its formula is fixed in controlling its openings. C. It has been produced at an industrial scale. D. It can effectively remove microscopic plastic debris. 34. What does the underlined word “hiccup” probably mean? A. Opportunity. B. Prospect. C. Problem. D. Failure. 35. What does Alice Horton imply in the last paragraph? A. All things are difficult before they are easy. B. Every cloud has a silver lining. C. Prevention is better than cure. D. Better late than never. 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。 Push yourselves beyond the limits Limits are blocks between you and your success.

She greeted the dawn of each new day with the brightness of the sun itself and found joy in the smallest of things. Maria lived alone in a shabby neighborhood in Deerfield Beach, Floric. One day while out tending the garden in front of her home, Maria missed her feet and fell off the ladder, crying out in severe pain. When the mailman found her unconscious (失去知觉的) nearly an hour later, her injured leg had been bleeding heavily. She made it to the hospital just in time and later, the doctor told Maria she was lucky to be alive. Returning home, Maria didn’t feel so lucky. Before the injury, the elderly woman had always been grateful that she was healthy for her age. Now it required a huge effort just to get the daily mail. In addition, the medical bills were mounting surprising. An old woman with nothing to do and nowhere to go, Maria felt frightened, alone and defeated for the first time in her life. When Maria’s friend Vera came to pick her up for the checkup (体检) at the medical center, she hardly recognized her old friend. Sadness filled Maria’s soft brown eyes. They were a little early for Maria’s appointment, so to cheer up Maria, Vera took a longer, more scenic route. They stopped at a red light when Maria suddenly shouted in terror. “Look at the cat! It’s trying to run across the street!” Vera looked up to see a small black-and-white cat bounding out into the middle of traffic. Both women screamed as they saw one car, then another, and finally a third hit the cat. The cat lay without moving, its small body flung (猛扔) into the grass. Cars slowed, but no one stopped to help. 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。 “We must save that poor creature,” said Maria. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Maria went to the clinic to check on the cat every day. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024届12月阶段性测试试题 英 语 考试时间：120分钟 总分：150分 注意事项： 1．考生务必将自己的姓名、考号填写在答题卡上。 2．作答时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷和草稿纸上无效。 3．考试结束后，将答题卡交回。 第一部分：听力（共两节，每小题1.5分，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 does the man’s brother look like?

This is not a test like the one we had last week. I repeat, this is not a test. The Western Hill Fire is spreading toward Lakewood much quicker than we had expected. This is mostly because of a strong wind coming from the west. Currently, we expect the fire to come within twenty miles of Lakewood by six o’clock this evening. We are therefore requiring all residents to leave this area immediately. Springfield to the north, Point Cabina Station to the east, and Galveston to the south are all in the safe zone. It will take less than thirty minutes to drive to any of these towns. Take as many things as you can fit in your car, but do not delay. We can not take any chances. We have orders from the state police to make sure that the entire town of Lakewood is empty by five o’clock today. And we have been given permission to use force to remove anyone who has not left the area on their own. This is for your own safety. You have plenty of time to get all your family members, pets, and belongings together, so there is no need to panic. Stay calm, but get started as soon as possible. If you have any questions, please call 1800-StaySafe or visit www.firesafety.com. This has been an announcement from the Lakewood Public Address System. 第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分50分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 A Cannes(戛纳)is a place that offers lots of different ways to spoil yourself. During the Cannes Film Festival in May, nothing changes, except that there are more people doing this, and that they talk about film. Here’s a guide to what you should do during the festival, both film-related and not. Hotel Intercontinental Carlton The film festival is a busy time for Cannes. The best way to appreciate the crowds might be having a dinner on a terrace(露天平台). Head to the Hotel Intercontinental Carlton and wander the lobby to take it all in. If you’re lucky you might be able to secure a table in the restaurant. Dress to impress or you won’t stand a chance of getting in. Cinema de la Plage Throughout the Cannes Film Festival, one of the best places to soak up some of the wonderful atmosphere is the open-air Cinema de la Plage at Mace beach. If you haven’t secured a ticket in advance for a seat, there’s no need to worry. You can spread a blanket out on the ground, open up your pre-prepared picnic, and enjoy the movie. Marché Forville The Marché Forville is a must-see for any visitor to Cannes and a foodie’s delight. On most days, vendors sell home-made fruits and vegetables as well as local specialties to eat for lunch. But don’t go on Mondays, unless you want to browse for bargains, as that’s when the flea market is on instead. La Croisette La Croisette is the most famous walk in Cannes and is listed under the cultural inventory of France itself. Stroll the whole length stop for a coffee, and end your walk by sitting on one of the free blue chairs along the way while taking in the view. It is also a great place to admire Cannes’ sculptures. 21. What is probably the intention of the text? A. To introduce French culture. B. To present dining locations. C To publicize a film festival. D. To suggest tourism activities. 22. Which place best suits people who enjoy shopping? A. Hotel Intercontinental Carlton. B. Cinema de la Plage. C. Marché Forville. D. La Croisette. 23. What can be expected in Cannes during the festival? A. Attending fashion shows. B. Watching movies outdoors. C. Tasting imported farm produce. D. Experiencing sculpture production. 【答案】21. D 22. C 23. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。主要介绍了在戛纳电影节期间探索戛纳这座城市的不同旅游活动。 【21题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“During the Cannes Film Festival in May, nothing changes, except that there are more people doing this, and that they talk about film. Here’s a guide to what you should do during the festival, both film-related and not. (在5月的戛纳电影节期间，除了有更多的人这样做，他们谈论电影之外，什么都没有改变。以下是电影节期间你应该做什么的指南，无论是与电影相关的还是与电影无关的)”和通篇内容可知，这篇文章是一个指南，向读者介绍在戛纳电影节期间如何探索戛纳这座城市的不同旅游活动。故选D。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。通过 Marché Forville段的“But don’t go on Mondays, unless you want to browse for bargains, as that’s when the flea market is on instead. (但是不要在星期一去，除非你想浏览便宜货，因为那是跳蚤市场开放的时候)”可知，Marché Forville这个地方在周一可以进行购物活动。故选C。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。通过Cinema de la Plage段的“You can spread a blanket out on the ground, open up your preprepared picnic, and enjoy the movie. (你可以在地上铺上毯子，打开预先准备好的野餐食物，欣赏电影)”可知，在戛纳电影节期间可以在户外观看电影。故选B。 B Buying clothes for special events, hiding the price tickets and returning them to the store the next day has for years been the method of money-saving shoppers. Today people are doing it just for social media. A survey conducted by the credit card company Barclaycard showed that nearly one in ten UK shoppers admits to buying clothing only to post photos on social media for likes. After the “outfit (装束) of the day” (OOTD) makes it online, they return it back to the store. According to Barclaycard, the “try before you buy” policy of online retailers (零售商) — where people pay for clothing they order online after they try it on at home — could be leading to this rising trend. But the rise of social media means that everyone, not just superstars, expects to build and maintain a personal brand. Since we’re recording our lives and posting them online for public judgement, getting caught in the same outfits more than once should be avoided. And the cost of all those outfits of the day adds up, which makes returning a popular way. There are brands that make clothes specially for social media shoppers, like Fashion Nova. “These are clothes made for social media: meant to be worn once, photographed and abandoned,” Allison P. Davis wrote in her report about the brand. Another favourite of the social media age is Rent the Runway, which lets customers rent designer clothing for a fee. Some, however, are moving in the opposite direction. Groups promoting “work uniforms” have increased greatly in recent years, aiming to free women from “the trouble of clothing decisions”. The concept of the “capsule wardrobe (胶囊衣橱)”, which calls for purchasing a small number of high-quality pieces instead of lots of trendy throwaway clothes, is also making a comeback. 24. What does the survey by Barclaycard suggest? A. Britons follow the fashion stars closely. B. Some Britons over-order and return clothes. C. Britons try on clothes before online purchases. D. Some Britons send outfits back after taking pictures. 25. What’s Fashion Nova’s special service? A. Renting top designers’ clothes. B. Offering customers single-use clothes. C. Creating unique shopping experiences. D. Helping shoppers improve their clothing style. 26. What’s the idea behind the “capsule wardrobe”? A. Better fewer, but better. B. Less addition, but more enjoyment. C. Less uniform, and more freedom. D. More choices, and less trouble. 27. Why does the author write the text? A. To compare different wearing trends. B. To introduce Britain’s new wearing trend. C. To support buying high-quality clothes. D. To criticize the “try before you buy” policy. 【答案】24. D 25. B 26. A 27. B 【解析】 【导语】本文一篇新闻报道。文章报道了社交媒体对购物行为的影响，以及由此产生的“先试后买”现象。文中提到，现在人们购买衣服不仅仅是为了省钱，更多的是为了在社交媒体上展示自己的时尚品味。同时，文章还提到了社交媒体时代的另一个趋势是租赁设计师服装，以及近年来出现的“工作制服”和“胶囊衣橱”的概念。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“A survey conducted by the credit card company Barclaycard showed that nearly one in ten UK shoppers admits to buying clothing only to post photos on social media for likes. After the “outfit (装束) of the day” (OOTD) makes it online, they return it back to the store.(巴克莱信用卡公司进行的一项调查显示，近十分之一的英国消费者承认，他们买衣服只是为了把照片上传到社交媒体上点赞。当“今日之装”(OOTD)在网上发布后，他们会将其退回商店。)”可知，巴克莱卡的调查表明一些英国人会在拍照后把衣服退回去。故选D项。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“There are brands that make clothes specially for social media shoppers, like Fashion Nova. “These are clothes made for social media: meant to be worn once, photographed and abandoned,” Allison P. Davis wrote in her report about the brand.(有些品牌专门为社交媒体购物者制作服装，比如Fashion Nova。“这些都是为社交媒体制作的衣服：穿一次，拍一张照片，然后扔掉，”艾莉森·P·戴维斯(Allison P. Davis)在关于该品牌的报告中写道。)”可知，Fashion Nova的特别服务是为顾客提供一次性衣服。故选B项。 26题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“The concept of the “capsule wardrobe (胶囊衣橱)”, which calls for purchasing a small number of high-quality pieces instead of lots of trendy throwaway clothes, is also making a comeback.(“胶囊衣橱”的概念也正在卷土重来，它要求人们购买少量高质量的衣服，而不是购买大量时髦的一次性衣服。)”可知，“胶囊衣橱”背后的理念是“少而好，才是更好”。故选A项。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文可知，文章报道了在社交媒体时代，人们购买衣服不仅仅是为了省钱，更多的是为了在社交媒体上展示自己的时尚品味。在英国，相应的租赁设计师服装服务和“工作制服”以及“胶囊衣橱”等概念正在兴起。由此推知。作者写这篇文章是为了介绍英国新的着装趋势。故选B项。 C In the late 1990s, a family visited the public elementary school where I taught deaf students. They said they would be moving to the district and planned to enroll (报名) their deaf daughter as a first grader. They were upset that their child’s kindergarten teacher Jane cautioned them not to have high hopes for her academically. Based upon assessment results, the teacher painted a discouraging picture for their little girl’s future. Standing behind them was Fiona, a beautiful five-year -old with long shiny brown hair and dark flashing eyes. The whole time her parents were there she didn’t make a sound or use sign language, even when her parents encouraged her. After a few weeks with Fiona, I discovered I was dealing with a very bright, very strong-willed child. Although I was able to engage her in a variety of learning activities, writing was a continual struggle. I tried all kinds of ways to interest her in writing. Every time the pencils came out, she would shut down and refuse to participate. One day Fiona got off her bus and stood in front of the school, weeping. The staff members present did not know enough sign language to ask her why she was crying. Finally they took her into the office where they handed her a pen and notepad. Fiona wrote: “PACBAK”. Immediately the office staff realized she left her backpack on the bus. They asked the bus to come back to school and soon Fiona was reunited with her backpack. That day Fiona discovered the power of the pen. From then on, she had a new appreciation for writing. She is a young woman now and has become an excellent writer, public speaker and student leader. During her senior year in high school, Fiona became the Douglas County Rodeo Queen and the following year she enrolled at the University of Northern Colorado, determined to become a teacher. In the summer of 2008, I traveled to the National Association of the Deaf Conference in New Orleans and watched her perform competitively as Miss Deaf Colorado. Fiona keeps in touch and I especially treasure her e-mails with term papers attached. This young lady has a very powerful pen! 28. What made Fiona’s parents upset? A. Fiona’s being unable to hear anything at birth. B. Fiona’s being refused by the elementary school. C. Fiona failure to use the sign language properly. D. Fiona’s possible unpromising future in Jane’s mind. 29. What was a constant challenge to the author when educating Fiona? A. Fiona’s lack of determination in learning. B. Fiona’s extreme unwillingness to write. C. Fiona’s bad relationship with the teacher. D. Fiona’s incompetence in handling pencils. 30. What can we learn about Fiona? A. She treasured the e-mails from her teacher very much. B. She travelled to New Orleans to give thanks to her teacher. C. She succeeded as a result of her affection for writing. D. She decided to be a writer at the University of Northern Colorado. 31. Which can be a suitable title for the text? A. Power of the Pen B. Ambition of a Deaf Girl C. Appreciation of the Pen D. Spelling of a Backpack 【答案】28. D 29. B 30. C 31. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是记叙文。文章从教师的视角记叙了一位有听力障碍的学生Fiona，在一次意外事件中发现了写作的力量，并以此为契机成为了更好的自己。 28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“They were upset that their child’s kindergarten teacher Jane cautioned them not to have high hopes for her academically. Based upon assessment results, the teacher painted a discouraging picture for their little girl’s future.(孩子的幼儿园老师简告诫他们不要对孩子的学业抱有太高的期望，这让他们感到不安。根据评估结果，老师对他们小女孩的未来描绘了一幅令人沮丧的画面。)”可知，Fiona在简心中可能没有希望的未来让她的父母烦恼，故选D。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Although I was able to engage her in a variety of learning activities, writing was a continual struggle. I tried all kinds of ways to interest her in writing. Every time the pencils came out, she would shut down and refuse to participate.(虽然我能够让她参加各种各样的学习活动，但写作是一项持续的斗争。我尝试了各种方法使她对写作产生兴趣。每次铅笔一出来，她就关门，拒绝参与。)”可知，在教育Fiona时，作者遇到的不断的困难是Fiona极度不愿意写作，故选B。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“That day Fiona discovered the power of the pen. From then on, she had a new appreciation for writing. She is a young woman now and has become an excellent writer, public speaker and student leader.(那天Fiona发现了笔的力量。从那时起，她对写作有了新的欣赏。她现在是一名年轻的女性，已经成为一名优秀的作家、演说家和学生领袖。)”并综合全段可知，由于热爱写作，她成功了，故选C。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段首末句“That day Fiona discovered the power of the pen. From then on, she had a new appreciation for writing.(那天Fiona发现了笔的力量。从那时起，她对写作有了新的欣赏。)”和“This young lady has a very powerful pen!(这位年轻的女士有一支很厉害的笔！)”并综合全文可知，文章讲述了有听力障碍的学生Fiona发现了用笔写作的力量，并以此为契机成为了更好的自己，因此推断A项“Power of the Pen(笔的力量)”为最佳标题，点睛且有吸引力。故选A。 D Is there anything Sponges (海绵) can’t do? For thousands of years, humans have used dried natural sponges to clean up, to paint and as containers to consume liquids like water or honey. And, as scientists around the world are beginning to show, sponges’ cavity-filled (空腔填充) forms mean they could provide a solution to one of our era’s biggest problems: microplastic pollution. In August, researchers in China published a study describing their development of a man-made sponge that makes short work of microscopic plastic debris (碎片). In tests, the researchers show that when a specially prepared plastic-filled solution is pushed through one of their sponges, the sponge can remove both microplastics and even smaller nanoplastics from the liquid. These particles typically become trapped in the sponge’s many openings. Though the sponges’ effectiveness varied in experiments, in part depending on the concentration of plastic and the acidity and saltiness of the liquid, the best conditions allowed the researchers to remove as much as 90 percent of the microplastics. They tried it in everything from tap water and seawater to — why not — soup from a local takeout spot. According to Guoging Wang, a materials chemist at Ocean University of China and co-author on the paper, the sponge formula is adjustable. By adjusting the temperature when the two compounds are mixed, he says, the sponges can be made more or less porous (渗透). This affects the size of particles collected — highly porous sponges have lots of very small pores, which is good for catching very tiny particles. The sponges, if ever produced at an industrial scale, Wang says, could be used in wastewater treatment plants to remove microplastics out of the water or in food production facilities to depollute water. There are hiccups to the sponge’s potential adoption, though What’s still lacking, says AliceHorton at the United Kingdom’s National Oceanography Center, is proof that any of these newer sponge-based technologies can be cost effective and successful in removing microplastics from water at a large scale. But one thing she is confident about is that efforts to remove microplastics after they have already reached the ocean are probably doomed to fail. “I don’t think there is anything we can do on a large enough scale that will have any impact,” she says of that. “We have to stop it getting there in the first place.” 32. Why does the author mention multiple applications of sponges in paragraph 1? A. To introduce sponges’ newfound function. B. To highlight that sponges can do anything. C. To prove that sponges boast a long history. D. To demonstrate sponges’ cavity-filled forms. 33. What can we learn about the man-made sponge? A. Its effectiveness is uniform in experiments. B. Its formula is fixed in controlling its openings. C. It has been produced at an industrial scale. D. It can effectively remove microscopic plastic debris. 34. What does the underlined word “hiccup” probably mean? A. Opportunity. B. Prospect. C. Problem. D. Failure. 35. What does Alice Horton imply in the last paragraph? A. All things are difficult before they are easy. B. Every cloud has a silver lining. C. Prevention is better than cure. D. Better late than never. 【答案】32. A 33. D 34. C 35. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。海绵的空腔填充形式意味着它们可以为我们这个时代最大的问题之一微塑料污染提供解决方案，文章对此进行了详细介绍。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段的“ And, as scientists around the world are beginning to show, sponges’ cavity-filled (空腔填充) forms mean they could provide a solution to one of our era’s biggest problems: microplastic pollution.(而且，正如世界各地的科学家们开始展示的那样，海绵的空腔填充形式意味着它们可以为我们这个时代最大的问题之一——微塑料污染——提供解决方案)”推知，作者在第一段提到海绵的多种用途是为了引入介绍海绵的新功能。故选A。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“In August, researchers in China published a study describing their development of a man-made sponge that makes short work of microscopic plastic debris (碎片).(今年8月，中国的研究人员发表了一项研究，描述了他们开发的一种人造海绵，这种海绵可以快速清除微塑料碎片)”可知，人造海绵可以有效地去除微塑料碎片。故选D。 【34题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段第一句中的“though What’s still lacking, says AliceHorton at the United Kingdom’s National Oceanography Center, is proof that any of these newer sponge-based technologies can be cost effective and successful in removing microplastics from water at a large scale(不过，英国国家海洋学中心的艾丽丝·霍顿说，目前还缺乏证据证明这些新的海绵技术在大规模去除水中的微塑料方面是经济有效而且成功的)”可知，此处是指海绵的潜在应用也存在一些问题，所以hiccups意为“问题”。故选C。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段最后一句“But one thing she is confident about is that efforts to remove microplastics after they have already reached the ocean are probably doomed to fail.(但有一件事她很有信心，那就是在微塑料已经进入海洋之后，清除它们的努力可能注定要失败。)”和最后一段最后一句“We have to stop it getting there in the first place.(我们必须从一开始就阻止它到达那里。)”可知，艾丽丝·霍顿的意思是与其等塑料进入海洋之后再清除还不如从一开始就阻止塑料进入海洋。因此C项“预防胜于治疗”可以表达Alice的意思。故选C。 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。 Push yourselves beyond the limits Limits are blocks between you and your success. You will face great resistance when attempting to break through the limits. It could be fear, lack of confidence, physical disabilities, and mental block. If you desire a life of success, you must face the resistance and push yourself beyond the limits. ____36____ Here are tips for you to succeed. ____37____ Don’t wait for external motivation to make the first move. Discover your inner motivation! It could be a motivational video, articles, TED Talks, or quotes. Ensure it is something that fills you with passion and drive to get things done.

If you’re not challenging yourself to do bigger and better things regularly, you’re only working within what you already can do. ____38____ Work on your goals a little each day. Chances are great that you need to build your empire brick by brick. That takes time and regular effort. ____39____ That is, there is not a day that you don’t work on your big goals, at least a little bit. It can be fifteen minutes dedicated to doing one small thing that will get you closer to that big thing you want to accomplish. Find someone who supports you and encourages you to keep going. ____40____ Having someone to support you can balance out the impact of any negative thinking that may limit you. It could be a life coach, friend, parent, or your wife or husband. They can help you make the push you need to get out of your comfort zone. A. Inspire yourself. B. Rome wasn’t built in a day. C. Discover where your passion lies. D. A bit of assistance means much in facing resistance. E. One good way is to adopt the approach of “No Zero Days”. F. Failure to do so will make your goals and dreams unrealizable. G. That’s a way to stay exactly where you are and make little or no progress. 【答案】36. F 37. A 38. G 39. E 40. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一些方法能够帮助读者超越自己的极限，并最终取得成功。 【36题详解】 根据空前“If you desire a life of success, you must face the resistance and push yourself beyond the limits.(如果你渴望成功的生活，你必须面对阻力，推动自己超越极限。)”可知，如果想要成功，一个人就得超越极限。选项F“Failure to do so will make your goals and dreams unrealizable.(如果做不到这一点，你的目标和梦想就无法实现。)”与上文内容一致，也就是说一个人只有超越极限才能成功。故选F。 【37题详解】 空处为段首句，为本段主旨句。根据下文“Don’t wait for external motivation to make the first move. Discover your inner motivation! It could be a motivational video, articles, TED Talks, or quotes. Ensure it is something that fills you with passion and drive to get things done. Inspiration can push you forward. (不要等到外界的激励，才主动出击。发现你内心的动力！可以是励志视频、文章、TED演讲或名言。确保它能让你充满激情，有动力把事情做好。灵感可以推动你前进。)”可知，本段主要建议读者要激励自己，以获得成功。选项A“Inspire yourself.(激励自己。)”与下文内容一致，可以作为主旨句。故选A。 【38题详解】 根据上文“Pushing past your limits means taking on newer, harder challenges. If you’re not challenging yourself to do bigger and better things regularly, you’re only working within what you already can do.(突破自己的极限意味着接受更新、更难的挑战。如果你不经常挑战自己去做更大更好的事情，你只是在你已经能做的范围内工作。)”可知，上文指出不挑战自己做更大更好的事情，你就不会有进步。选项G“That’s a way to stay exactly where you are and make little or no progress.(这是一种原地踏步，几乎没有进步的方法。)”是对上文内容的总结。故选G。 【39题详解】 根据下文“That is, there is not a day that you don’t work on your big goals, at least a little bit. It can be fifteen minutes dedicated to doing one small thing that will get you closer to that big thing you want to accomplish.(也就是说，没有一天你不为你的大目标而努力，至少是一点点。你可以花15分钟做一件小事，让你更接近你想要完成的大事情。)”可知，空处指的是每天都要努力，哪怕只是一点点。选项E“One good way is to adopt the approach of “No Zero Days”.(一个好方法是采用“无零日”的方法。)”与下文内容一致，建议读者每天都要努力。故选E。 【40题详解】 根据下文“Having someone to support you can balance out the impact of any negative thinking that may limit you. It could be a life coach, friend, parent, or your wife or husband. They can help you make the push you need to get out of your comfort zone.(有人支持你可以抵消任何可能限制你的消极思想的影响。可以是人生导师，朋友，父母，或者你的妻子或丈夫。他们可以帮助你走出你的舒适区。)”可知，作者认为在面对困难时，如果身边有人帮助你，你将会更好地前进。选项D“A bit of assistance means much in facing resistance.(在面对阻力时，一点帮助很重要。)”与下文内容一致。故选D。 第三部分 语言知识运用（共三节，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，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 I work as a waiter at a hotel.

She greeted the dawn of each new day with the brightness of the sun itself and found joy in the smallest of things. Maria lived alone in a shabby neighborhood in Deerfield Beach, Floric. One day while out tending the garden in front of her home, Maria missed her feet and fell off the ladder, crying out in severe pain. When the mailman found her unconscious (失去知觉的) nearly an hour later, her injured leg had been bleeding heavily. She made it to the hospital just in time and later, the doctor told Maria she was lucky to be alive. Returning home, Maria didn’t feel so lucky. Before the injury, the elderly woman had always been grateful that she was healthy for her age. Now it required a huge effort just to get the daily mail. In addition, the medical bills were mounting surprising. An old woman with nothing to do and nowhere to go, Maria felt frightened, alone and defeated for the first time in her life. When Maria’s friend Vera came to pick her up for the checkup (体检) at the medical center, she hardly recognized her old friend. Sadness filled Maria’s soft brown eyes. They were a little early for Maria’s appointment, so to cheer up Maria, Vera took a longer, more scenic route. They stopped at a red light when Maria suddenly shouted in terror. “Look at the cat! It’s trying to run across the street!” Vera looked up to see a small black-and-white cat bounding out into the middle of traffic. Both women screamed as they saw one car, then another, and finally a third hit the cat. The cat lay without moving, its small body flung (猛扔) into the grass. Cars slowed, but no one stopped to help. 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。 “We must save that poor creature,” said Maria. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Maria went to the clinic to check on the cat every day. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】“We must save that poor creature,” said Maria. Vera pulled over, got out of the car and went to the poor cat. Unexpectedly it was still alive, but severely injured. Rushing to an animal clinic nearby, they told the receptionist what had happened. Fortunately, an experienced vet started working on the cat in no time. The vet told Maria and Vera that this little creature was lucky to be alive and would be taken good care of there. Maria went to the clinic to check on the cat every day. She spoke softly to it and gently touched its chin with her little finger and the days passed, the cat began to utter quiet but happy voice and the joy returned to Maria’s eyes. The day arrived for the cat to go home. As excited as a little girl, Maria smiled brightly as she walked into the clinic. Cradling the cat in her arms, Maria was happy to call the cat “Lucky”, because together they found a new life. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Maria因为一场意外事故而受伤，因健康状况不佳和医疗费用的增加从而感到害怕、孤独和失败，当她的朋友Vera来医疗中心接Maria做体检时，她几乎认不出Maria了，她们路途中碰到一只被车撞了的小猫，之后Maria救助了这只出了交通事故的小猫，并收养了它，在小猫的康复过程中，Maria孤独和失败的感觉逐渐消失，重新获得了快乐。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“‘我们一定要救那个可怜的小东西，’Maria说。”可知，第一段可描写Maria和Vera救助小猫、把小猫送动物医院治疗的经过。 ②由第二段首句内容“Maria每天去诊所看猫。”可知，第二段可描写Maria和猫的互动，这对Maria的影响，Maria给猫取名以及她重新获得了快乐。 2. 续写线索： Maria说要救助小猫——Maria和Vera救助小猫的经过——Maria每天去看小猫——和小猫产生联系——给小猫取名——重新获得了快乐。 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①冲：rush/dash ②触摸：touch/stroke ③走进：walk into/step into 情绪类 ①快乐的：happy/delighted ②兴奋的：excited/thrilled 【点睛】[高分句型1] The vet told Maria and Vera that this little creature was lucky to be alive and would be taken good care of there.
