Outside the couple’s fourth-floor apartment, an untidy homeless man was often yelling on the street corner, sometimes keeping them awake at night. One day, Peterson was relaxing in his living room, reading the book Love Does, about the power of love in action, when his quiet was disturbed by the homeless man. Inspired by the book’s compassionate message, Peterson made an unexpected decision: He was going to go outside and introduce himself. In that first unexpected, Peterson learned that the man’s name was Matt Faris. He’d moved to California to pursue a career in music, but he soon fell on hard times and ended up living on the street for more than a decade. “It was the weirdest thing to me,” Peterson recalled later. “I saw beauty on the face of a man who hadn’t shaved in probably a year. But his story, the life inside of him, inspired me.” And even though Peterson hadn’t picked up a brush in about eight years, he found himself asking if he could paint Faris’s portrait. Faris said yes. Peterson’s connection with Faris led him to form Faces of Santa Ana, a nonprofit organization focused on befriending and painting portraits of members of the community who are unhoused. Peterson sells the impressive 30-by-40-inch canvas-signed by both subject and artist-for a few thousand dollars, splitting the proceeds and putting half into what he calls a “love account” for his model. He then helps people use the money to get back on their feet. Peterson has painted 41 of these portraits himself. But there’s more to the finished products than the money they bring to someone down-and-out. He’s discovered that the buyers tend to connect to the story of the person in the painting, finding similarities with someone they might have otherwise overlooked or misunderstood. “People often tell me, ‘I was the one that would cross the street. But I see homeless people differently now,’” Peterson says. “I didn’t know that would happen.” 24. What inspired Brian Peterson to approach the homeless man? A. The loud yell from the street comer. B. The beauty he saw on the homeless’ face. C. The desire to donate money to the homeless. D. The positive impact from Love Does. 25. What does Peterson do with the proceeds from selling the portraits? A. Donates them to local homeless shelters and relief centers. B. Invests them in his nonprofit organization, Faces of Santa Ana. C. Gives money to the portrait subject and helps people regain stability. D. Uses them to fund the local disadvantaged communities. 26. What impact have the portraits had on buyers? A. They have become friends with the homeless individuals. B. They have overcome their misconceptions about the homeless. C. They have stopped crossing the street to avoid the homeless. D. They have gained profits from those who are down-and-out. 27. What is the main purpose of Faces of Santa Ana? A. To raise awareness about the homeless through art. B. To provide resources and housing for the homeless. C. To boost connection between artists and their subjects. D. To discover the root cause of homelessness. C Dementia (痴呆), a serious mental disorder caused by brain disease or injury, affects the ability to think, remember and behave normally. 160,000 people have some forms of dementia in Sweden, Alzheimer’s disease being the most common. At the same time, many new diagnostic (诊断的) methods and early-intervention treatment have been developed in recent years, which highlights the need to identify more risk factors for the disease. Previous studies have demonstrated a possible association between depression and dementia. A present study now clearly shows that people who have been diagnosed with depression are more likely to be diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. Unlike the previous ones, the study was conducted using Region Stockholm’s administrative healthcare database, which contains all healthcare contacts recorded by the region. It shows that the risk of Alzheimer’s disease was more than twice as high in patients with stress and in patients with depression as it was in patients without either condition; in patients with both depression it was up to four times as high. “The reason for it is unknown,” says the study’s last author Axel C. Carlsson. “The finding is important in that it enables us to improve preventative efforts and understand links with the other risk factors for dementia.” The researchers focused on patients between the ages of 18 and 65 and between 2012 and 2013. They identified 44,447 people with a diagnosis of depression and followed them for eight years to see how many of them were later diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. A comparison with all other 1,362,548 individuals in the age group showed that more people with depression had also been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. “It’s very uncommon for people in this age group to develop dementia, so we need to identify all possible risk factors for the disease,” says Dr Carlsson. “We show here that the diagnosis is more common in people who have suffered depression, but more studies will be required if we’re to demonstrate any reason there.” 28. What do the previous studies and the present one differ in? A. The target. B. The method. C. The purpose. D. The theory. 29. Why is the new finding important? A. It clarifies the condition of dementia. B. It makes clear the risks of depression. C. It confirms the previous study finding. D. It helps with the dementia prevention. 30. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about concerning the study? A. Its process. B. Its background. C. Its application. D. Its assessment. 31. What may the follow-up studies focus on? A Why dementia spreads wide in Sweden. B. What links exist among mental diseases. C. How depression connects with dementia. D. What other risk factors lead to dementia. D When wind blows through a bigleaf maple (大叶枫), paper-thin, wing-like seeds called samaras gently spin towards the ground. The fruit’s tissue allows the wind to guide it further away from the tree. Inspired by the seeds, researchers designed a tiny, winged microchip, no larger than a grain of sand, that is powerful enough to monitor environmental pollution and airborne disease. Called the microflier, the microchip has no motor to push it forward in the air but instead was designed to catch the wind. To perfect the microchip’s flying capability and shape, scientists took inspiration from the forms of various airborne seeds. The research team improved various designs until the microfliers flew slowly and more steadily than nature’s samara seeds. The slower falling rate allows the microchip to keep flying for longer, which gives it more time to collect data and monitor air pollutants and airborne diseases. To perfect the microflier’s flight, researchers took inspiration from children’s pop-up books to create the three-dimensional wings. Usually, electronic microchips are flat, two-dimensional objects, but something flat won’t take flight. To make the 3-D shape, John A. Rogers and his team built a stretched rubber base that the microchip rests on. The wings pop into flight mode when the rubber base is relaxed. The chip gathers data with sensors across its surface that can sense and monitor pH levels, test for heavy metals or chemicals, and track air pollution. An antenna (天线) on the microflier then sends all the collected data to a computer or phone. Rogers and his team are planning to test out the electronic chips soon by dropping thousands of the chips in a field. The microfliers will change color depending on the number of heavy metals present in the field where they land. A drone will then fly over the area and take photos of the microflier’s colors, allowing researchers to map out the pollutants. Rogers and his team also designed the microchips to break down over time to prevent environmental pollution. 32. What is the winged microchip designed to do? A. Guide seeds from the tree. B. Prevent airborne diseases. C. Keep track of air qualities. D. Catch the wind to fly away. 33. What do paragraph 2 and 3 focus on? A. Where researchers draw inspiration. B. How the microflier has improved. C. What the microchip does for humans. D. Why the microflier flies more stably. 34. What do the researchers do with the microflier in the future? A. Drop chips in the field. B. Monitor the soil color. C. Map out air pollutants. D. Handle soil pollution. 35. Which of the following would be a suitable title for the text? A. Winged microchips for monitoring environment B. Microflier: A flying device of spreading seeds C. Drone: A photographer of microflier’s colors D Electronic chips for finding airborne diseases 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。 Are you frequently depressed by the feeling that life is leaving you behind particularly when you look over social media sites and are faced with all the exciting things your friends are up to? ____36____ FOMO, or Fear of Missing Out refers to the perception that other people’s lives are superior to our own.

She wished her son Steve would visit her, even if for only a day. Of course, the young man had a family of his own now, a darling little daughter Eva, and a business to take care of. Steve got on video calls with Sue every other day. However, Sue thought of her son and granddaughter, wishing she was with them. One day, Sue heard sounds from the neighboring house. Sue looked through the window and was delighted to see that she had new neighbors. One morning, when Sue woke up and walked along the shore, she heard the sounds of water being splashed and the sound of children laughing wildly. She followed the sound and was concerned on finding the twins from the neighboring house standing, knee deep in ocean water. Something didn’t feel right. “Why would anyone leave their kids unattended on the shore?” Sue thought. She grabbed the kids’ hands and walked them to their home. As Sue opened the door, she found the young mother lying unconscious on the kitchen floor. Sue didn’t waste a second in calling 911. The first responders managed to revive (恢复) her consciousness on the spot. “My boys! Ralph! Ray!” the woman cried out to her kids as the ambulance took her away. Sue said, “Don’t worry. Everything will be alright. I’ll take care of your sweet boys.” She kept her promise and looked after the kids like a grandmother. She took Ralph and Ray in and let them sleep in the bedroom that was specially made for her granddaughter Eva. It was during these days that she knew that the boys’ father died of illness. Sue knew that the neighbor, Selina, had been trying to make ends meet by selling sweaters and socks that she knit. Looking at Selina’s children eat and drink with such joy, she realized how much she longed to see her little Eva. By the time Selina came home from the hospital, the kids had already started calling Sue “Grandma”. 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。 Paragraph 1: Selina was very moved and struggled to find the words to thank her elderly neighbor. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: One Thanksgiving, when Sue and the Selinas were talking, Sue’s door was knocked. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 扬州大学附属中学高三年级春学期英语月考（2024.3） 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） 1. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 What does the woman suggest the man do?

B. Construction firms need old workers. C. Robots doing more work on building sites. 19. What is happening to the Japanese construction workforce? A. It is getting older. B. It is getting slower. C. It is getting smaller. 20. Who controls the robots on the computer? A. A manager. B. A laborer. C. A map. 【答案】18. C 19. A 20. A 【解析】 【原文】Shinichi Sakamoto is 57, and works for Shimizu, one of Japan’s biggest construction companies. He is part of the greying and falling workforce. According to Mr. Sakamoto, statistics showed that a third of Japanese construction laborers are over 54 years old, and they are considering retiring so soon. And they’re not being replaced by younger builders. “The number of laborers under 30 is just above 10%,” he said. In September, Mr. Sakamoto’s firm gained a promising new co-worker — a robot. It is currently working on a high-rise development in Osaka, transporting heavy building materials every night from the ground floor to where they’re needed. “Can you imagine that materials are in the right position in the morning when laborers come to the site?” said Mr. Sakamoto, “He even works at night time.” Robots will benefit from superfast 5G mobile networks. Better connections will make it easier for multiple robots to cooperate. Many small robots could work together on different parts of a task. An example is the 3D printing robots at a university in Singapore, each of which can print concrete following a computer map. All robots in a group could learn from what one robot is learning. Mr. Sakamoto also introduced other robot workers. The robots operate on their own, performing tasks a manager assigns them on a computer. 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 Eiffel Tower Guided Climb Tour by Stairs Most visitors ride the elevator at the Eiffel Tower, but travelers with a sense of adventure prefer to take the stairs.

Outside the couple’s fourth-floor apartment, an untidy homeless man was often yelling on the street corner, sometimes keeping them awake at night. One day, Peterson was relaxing in his living room, reading the book Love Does, about the power of love in action, when his quiet was disturbed by the homeless man. Inspired by the book’s compassionate message, Peterson made an unexpected decision: He was going to go outside and introduce himself. In that first unexpected, Peterson learned that the man’s name was Matt Faris. He’d moved to California to pursue a career in music, but he soon fell on hard times and ended up living on the street for more than a decade. “It was the weirdest thing to me,” Peterson recalled later. “I saw beauty on the face of a man who hadn’t shaved in probably a year. But his story, the life inside of him, inspired me.” And even though Peterson hadn’t picked up a brush in about eight years, he found himself asking if he could paint Faris’s portrait. Faris said yes. Peterson’s connection with Faris led him to form Faces of Santa Ana, a nonprofit organization focused on befriending and painting portraits of members of the community who are unhoused. Peterson sells the impressive 30-by-40-inch canvas-signed by both subject and artist-for a few thousand dollars, splitting the proceeds and putting half into what he calls a “love account” for his model. He then helps people use the money to get back on their feet. Peterson has painted 41 of these portraits himself. But there’s more to the finished products than the money they bring to someone down-and-out. He’s discovered that the buyers tend to connect to the story of the person in the painting, finding similarities with someone they might have otherwise overlooked or misunderstood. “People often tell me, ‘I was the one that would cross the street. But I see homeless people differently now,’” Peterson says. “I didn’t know that would happen.” 24. What inspired Brian Peterson to approach the homeless man? A The loud yell from the street comer. B. The beauty he saw on the homeless’ face. C. The desire to donate money to the homeless. D. The positive impact from Love Does. 25. What does Peterson do with the proceeds from selling the portraits? A. Donates them to local homeless shelters and relief centers. B. Invests them in his nonprofit organization, Faces of Santa Ana. C. Gives money to the portrait subject and helps people regain stability. D. Uses them to fund the local disadvantaged communities. 26. What impact have the portraits had on buyers? A. They have become friends with the homeless individuals. B. They have overcome their misconceptions about the homeless. C. They have stopped crossing the street to avoid the homeless. D. They have gained profits from those who are down-and-out. 27. What is the main purpose of Faces of Santa Ana? A. To raise awareness about the homeless through art. B. To provide resources and housing for the homeless. C. To boost connection between artists and their subjects. D. To discover the root cause of homelessness. 【答案】24. D 25. C 26. B 27. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了布莱恩．彼得森在认识流浪汉马特·法里斯后，他突发奇想成立了一个非营利组织，专注于与社区中无家可归的成员交朋友，并为他们画肖像，通过售卖肖像所得的钱帮助他们重新站起来的故事。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“One day, Peterson was relaxing in his living room, reading the book Love Does, about the power of love in action, when his quiet was disturbed by the homeless man. Inspired by the book’s compassionate message, Peterson made an unexpected decision: He was going to go outside and introduce himself.”（一天，彼得森正在客厅里放松，读着《爱的力量》这本书，这本书是关于爱在行动中的力量的，这时他的安静被无家可归的人打扰了。受到书中富有同情心的信息的启发，彼得森做了一个意想不到的决定：他要出去介绍自己。）可知，促使布莱恩·彼得森接近那个流浪汉是因为受到来自爱的积极影响。故选D项。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Peterson sells the impressive 30-by-40-inch canvas-signed by both subject and artist-for a few thousand dollars, splitting the proceeds and putting half into what he calls a “love account” for his model. He then helps people use the money to get back on their feet.”（彼得森以几千美元的价格出售了这幅令人印象深刻的30 × 40英寸的油画，画上的人物和艺术家都签了名，他把所得分成一半，并把一半存入他所谓的模特“爱的账户”。然后，他帮助人们用这些钱重新振作起来。）可知，彼得森出售肖像画所得的收益一部分给画肖像对象钱，一部分帮助人们恢复新生活。故选C项。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“He’s discovered that the buyers tend to connect to the story of the person in the painting, finding similarities with someone they might have otherwise overlooked or misunderstood.”（他发现，买家倾向于与画中人物的故事联系起来，找到他们可能被忽视或误解的人的相似之处。）可知，这些肖像对买家的影响是他们已经克服了对无家可归者的误解。故选B项。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Peterson’s connection with Faris led him to form Faces of Santa Ana, a nonprofit organization focused on befriending and painting portraits of members of the community who are unhoused.”（彼得森与法里斯的联系促使他成立了“圣安娜之脸”(Faces of Santa Ana)，这是一个非营利组织，专注于帮助无家可归的社区成员，并为他们画肖像。）以及倒数第二段“Peterson has painted 41 of these portraits himself. But there’s more to the finished products than the money they bring to someone down-and-out. He’s discovered that the buyers tend to connect to the story of the person in the painting, finding similarities with someone they might have otherwise overlooked or misunderstood.”（彼得森自己画了41幅这样的肖像。但成品带给穷困潦倒者的不仅仅是金钱。他发现，买家倾向于与画中人物的故事联系起来，找到他们可能被忽视或误解的人的相似之处。）可推知，“圣安娜之脸”的主要目的是通过艺术提高人们对无家可归者的关注。故选A项。 C Dementia (痴呆), a serious mental disorder caused by brain disease or injury, affects the ability to think, remember and behave normally. 160,000 people have some forms of dementia in Sweden, Alzheimer’s disease being the most common. At the same time, many new diagnostic (诊断的) methods and early-intervention treatment have been developed in recent years, which highlights the need to identify more risk factors for the disease. Previous studies have demonstrated a possible association between depression and dementia. A present study now clearly shows that people who have been diagnosed with depression are more likely to be diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. Unlike the previous ones, the study was conducted using Region Stockholm’s administrative healthcare database, which contains all healthcare contacts recorded by the region. It shows that the risk of Alzheimer’s disease was more than twice as high in patients with stress and in patients with depression as it was in patients without either condition; in patients with both depression it was up to four times as high. “The reason for it is unknown,” says the study’s last author Axel C. Carlsson. “The finding is important in that it enables us to improve preventative efforts and understand links with the other risk factors for dementia.” The researchers focused on patients between the ages of 18 and 65 and between 2012 and 2013. They identified 44,447 people with a diagnosis of depression and followed them for eight years to see how many of them were later diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. A comparison with all other 1,362,548 individuals in the age group showed that more people with depression had also been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. “It’s very uncommon for people in this age group to develop dementia, so we need to identify all possible risk factors for the disease,” says Dr Carlsson. “We show here that the diagnosis is more common in people who have suffered depression, but more studies will be required if we’re to demonstrate any reason there.” 28. What do the previous studies and the present one differ in? A. The target. B. The method. C. The purpose. D. The theory. 29. Why is the new finding important? A. It clarifies the condition of dementia. B. It makes clear the risks of depression. C. It confirms the previous study finding. D. It helps with the dementia prevention. 30. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about concerning the study? A. Its process. B. Its background. C. Its application. D. Its assessment. 31 What may the follow-up studies focus on? A. Why dementia spreads wide in Sweden. B. What links exist among mental diseases. C. How depression connects with dementia. D. What other risk factors lead to dementia. 【答案】28. B 29. D 30. A 31. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项研究，该研究清楚地表明，被诊断为抑郁症的人更有可能被诊断为阿尔茨海默病。文章还介绍了这种研究的意义和接下来的发展方向等。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第二段中“Unlike the previous ones, the study was conducted using Region Stockholm’s administrative healthcare database, which contains all healthcare contacts recorded by the region. (与之前的研究不同，该研究是使用斯德哥尔摩地区的行政医疗保健数据库进行的，该数据库包含该地区记录的所有医疗保健联系人。)”可知，以前的研究和现在的研究不同之处在于研究方法。故选B。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第三段中“The finding is important in that it enables us to improve preventative efforts and understand links with the other risk factors for dementia. (这一发现很重要，因为它使我们能够改善预防工作，并了解与痴呆症其他风险因素的联系。)”可知，新发现很重要是因为它有助于预防痴呆症。故选D。 【30题详解】 主旨大意题。由文章第四段“The researchers focused on patients between the ages of 18 and 65 and between 2012 and 2013. They identified 44,447 people with a diagnosis of depression and followed them for eight years to see how many of them were later diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. A comparison with all other 1,362,548 individuals in the age group showed that more people with depression had also been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. (研究人员关注的是年龄在18岁到65岁之间以及2012年到2013年之间的患者。他们确定了44,447名被诊断为抑郁症的人，并对他们进行了8年的跟踪调查，看看他们中有多少人后来被诊断为阿尔茨海默病。与该年龄组其他1362548人的比较显示，更多患有抑郁症的人也被诊断患有阿尔茨海默病。)”可知，第4段主要是关于研究的过程。故选A。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。由文章最后一段““It’s very uncommon for people in this age group to develop dementia, so we need to identify all possible risk factors for the disease,” says Dr Carlsson. “We show here that the diagnosis is more common in people who have suffered depression, but more studies will be required if we’re to demonstrate any reason there.” (卡尔森博士说：“这个年龄段的人患痴呆症非常罕见，所以我们需要确定这种疾病的所有可能的风险因素。”“我们在这里表明，这种诊断在患有抑郁症的人群中更为常见，但如果我们要证明其中的任何原因，还需要更多的研究。”)”可知，后续研究的重点是抑郁症与痴呆症的关系。故选C。 D When wind blows through a bigleaf maple (大叶枫), paper-thin, wing-like seeds called samaras gently spin towards the ground. The fruit’s tissue allows the wind to guide it further away from the tree. Inspired by the seeds, researchers designed a tiny, winged microchip, no larger than a grain of sand, that is powerful enough to monitor environmental pollution and airborne disease. Called the microflier, the microchip has no motor to push it forward in the air but instead was designed to catch the wind. To perfect the microchip’s flying capability and shape, scientists took inspiration from the forms of various airborne seeds. The research team improved various designs until the microfliers flew slowly and more steadily than nature’s samara seeds. The slower falling rate allows the microchip to keep flying for longer, which gives it more time to collect data and monitor air pollutants and airborne diseases. To perfect the microflier’s flight, researchers took inspiration from children’s pop-up books to create the three-dimensional wings. Usually, electronic microchips are flat, two-dimensional objects, but something flat won’t take flight. To make the 3-D shape, John A. Rogers and his team built a stretched rubber base that the microchip rests on. The wings pop into flight mode when the rubber base is relaxed. The chip gathers data with sensors across its surface that can sense and monitor pH levels, test for heavy metals or chemicals, and track air pollution. An antenna (天线) on the microflier then sends all the collected data to a computer or phone. Rogers and his team are planning to test out the electronic chips soon by dropping thousands of the chips in a field. The microfliers will change color depending on the number of heavy metals present in the field where they land. A drone will then fly over the area and take photos of the microflier’s colors, allowing researchers to map out the pollutants. Rogers and his team also designed the microchips to break down over time to prevent environmental pollution. 32. What is the winged microchip designed to do? A. Guide seeds from the tree. B. Prevent airborne diseases. C. Keep track of air qualities. D. Catch the wind to fly away. 33. What do paragraph 2 and 3 focus on? A. Where researchers draw inspiration. B. How the microflier has improved. C. What the microchip does for humans. D. Why the microflier flies more stably. 34. What do the researchers do with the microflier in the future? A. Drop chips in the field. B. Monitor the soil color. C. Map out air pollutants. D. Handle soil pollution. 35. Which of the following would be a suitable title for the text? A. Winged microchips for monitoring environment B. Microflier: A flying device of spreading seeds C. Drone: A photographer of microflier’s colors D. Electronic chips for finding airborne diseases 【答案】32. C 33. B 34. D 35. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一种能够监测环境质量的带翼微芯片。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“Inspired by the seeds, researchers designed a tiny, winged microchip, no larger than a grain of sand, that is powerful enough to monitor environmental pollution and airborne disease.(受这些种子的启发，研究人员设计了一种微小的带翼微芯片，它比一粒沙子还小，但却足以监测环境污染和空气传播疾病)”可知，这种芯片被设计用来监测空气质量。故选C项。 【33题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段第二三句“To perfect the microchip’s flying capability and shape, scientists took inspiration from the forms of various airborne seeds. The research team improved various designs until the microfliers flew slowly and more steadily than nature’s samara seeds.(为了完善微芯片的飞行能力和形状，科学家们从各种通过空气传播的种子的形式中获得灵感。研究小组改进了各种设计，直到微型飞行器比自然界的翅果种子飞得更慢、更稳定)”及第三段第一句“To perfect the microflier’s flight, researchers took inspiration from children’s pop-up books to create the three-dimensional wings.(为了完善微型飞行器的飞行，研究人员从儿童立体书中获得灵感，创造了三维翅膀)”及第三句“To make the 3-D shape, John A. Rogers and his team built a stretched rubber base that the microchip rests on.(为了制作3D形状，John A. Rogers和他的团队制作了一个可拉伸的橡胶底座，让微芯片固定在上面)”可知，这两段主要介绍了研究团队是如何改良和完善微型飞行器的。故选B项。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段第三四五句“Rogers and his team are planning to test out the electronic chips soon by dropping thousands of the chips in a field. The microfliers will change color depending on the number of heavy metals present in the field where they land. A drone will then fly over the area and take photos of the microflier’s colors, allowing researchers to map out the pollutants(Rogers和他的团队计划在不久的将来通过在田野中投放数千个芯片来测试这种电子芯片。这些微型飞行器会根据着陆地重金属含量的多少而改变颜色。然后，一架无人机将飞越该地区，拍摄微型飞行器的颜色，使研究人员能够绘制出污染物的地图)”可推知，这些微型飞行器会根据着陆地重金属含量的多少而改变颜色，方便研究人员能够绘制出土地污染物的地图，从而解决土地污染问题。故选D项。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段最后一句“Inspired by the seeds, researchers designed a tiny, winged microchip, no larger than a grain of sand, that is powerful enough to monitor environmental pollution and airborne disease.(受这些种子的启发，研究人员设计了一种微小的带翼微芯片，它比一粒沙子还小，但却足以监测环境污染和空气传播疾病。）及第四段第一句“The chip gathers data with sensors across its surface that can sense and monitor pH levels, test for heavy metals or chemicals, and track air pollution.(该芯片通过其表面的传感器收集数据，这些传感器可以感知和监测pH值，测试重金属或化学物质，并跟踪空气污染)”可知，本文主要介绍了能够监测环境质量的带翼微芯片。故选A项。 第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分, 满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Are you frequently depressed by the feeling that life is leaving you behind particularly when you look over social media sites and are faced with all the exciting things your friends are up to? ____36____ FOMO, or Fear of Missing Out refers to the perception that other people’s lives are superior to our own. It appears as a deep sense of envy, and constant exposure to it can have a weakening effect on our self-esteem(自尊). While feelings of envy and lack of confidence seem to be human nature, social media seems to have added fuel to the fire.____37____Social media, with its built-in appeal, allows us to share only the best presentations of our life, while leaving out the more boring aspects.

E 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了如何避免社交媒体中的嫉妒感。 【36题详解】 根据前句“Are you frequently depressed by the feeling that life is leaving you behind particularly when you look over social media sites and are faced with all the exciting things your friends are up to?(你是否经常感到生活离你而去，尤其是当你浏览社交媒体网站时，面对着朋友们正在做的所有令人兴奋的事情?)”及下一段“FOMO, or Fear of Missing Out refers to the perception that other people’s lives are superior to our own. It appears as a deep sense of envy, and constant exposure to it can have a weakening effect on our self-esteem(自尊).(FOMO指的是别人的生活比我们自己的生活更优越的看法。它表现为一种强烈的嫉妒感，持续暴露在这种情绪下会削弱我们的自尊。)”可知，空处为承上启下句，即强烈的嫉妒感是很多人都有的感觉，引出下文对FOMO的介绍。所以选择项A“If so, you are not alone.(如果是这样，你并不孤单。)”符合上下文语境。故选A。 【37题详解】 根据前句“While feelings of envy and lack of confidence seem to be human nature, social media seems to have added fuel to the fire. (嫉妒和缺乏自信似乎是人类的天性，而社交媒体似乎在火上浇油。)”和后文“Social media, with its built-in appeal, allows us to share only the best presentations of our life, while leaving out the more boring aspects. Although this could be characterized as dishonest, it is the atmosphere social media seems to demand. (社交媒体，以其固有的吸引力，让我们只分享我们生活中最好的一面，而忽略了更无聊的方面。虽然这可以被定性为不诚实，但这似乎是社交媒体所需要的氛围。)”可知，空处提问社交媒体为什么会有火上浇油的刺激作用，以引出下文对其原因的介绍。所以选择项D“Why does it have such a stimulating effect? (为什么它有这样的刺激作用？)”符合上下文语境。故选D。 【38题详解】 根据前句“Consider your own social media posts. (考虑一下你自己的社交媒体帖子。)”和后文“Well, so have others. And what they’ve left hidden is the fact that boredom, loneliness and unpleasant chores are an unavoidable part of everyone’s life, and you’re not the only one feeling left out. (其他人也是如此。而他们所隐藏的事实是，无聊、孤独和不愉快的家务是每个人生活中不可避免的一部分，你不是唯一一个被忽略的人。)”可知，呈现在社交媒体上一般都是经过选择过的，代表生活美好方面的。所以选择项G“Have you ever chosen photos that lead others to the rosiest conclusions about your life? (你有没有选择过一些照片，让别人对你的生活得出最美好的结论？)”符合上下文语境。故选G。 【39题详解】 空处为本段主题句，根据后文“You may not be a regular at fancy parties or a climber of dizzying peaks, but you have your health, a place to live and real friends who appreciate your presence in their lives. (你可能不是高档派对的常客，也不是攀登令人眼花缭乱的高峰的人，但你有健康的身体，有居住的地方，有真正的朋友，他们会欣赏你在他们生活中的存在。)”可知，本段主要介绍要学会欣赏积极的事物。所以选择项C“Learn to appreciate the positives. (学会欣赏积极的事物。)”符合上下文语境。故选C。 【40题详解】 根据前句“We are all flooded daily with photos of other people’s perfections, but really, what does it matter? (我们每天都被别人完美的照片淹没，但说真的，这有什么关系呢?)”可知，我们不能社交媒体上的完美照片的影响，因为它们不一定是真实的。所以选择项E“They are probably no more real than the funniest reality TV show.

She wished her son Steve would visit her, even if for only a day. Of course, the young man had a family of his own now, a darling little daughter Eva, and a business to take care of. Steve got on video calls with Sue every other day. However, Sue thought of her son and granddaughter, wishing she was with them. One day, Sue heard sounds from the neighboring house. Sue looked through the window and was delighted to see that she had new neighbors. One morning, when Sue woke up and walked along the shore, she heard the sounds of water being splashed and the sound of children laughing wildly. She followed the sound and was concerned on finding the twins from the neighboring house standing, knee deep in ocean water. Something didn’t feel right. “Why would anyone leave their kids unattended on the shore?” Sue thought. She grabbed the kids’ hands and walked them to their home. As Sue opened the door, she found the young mother lying unconscious on the kitchen floor. Sue didn’t waste a second in calling 911. The first responders managed to revive (恢复) her consciousness on the spot. “My boys! Ralph! Ray!” the woman cried out to her kids as the ambulance took her away. Sue said, “Don’t worry. Everything will be alright. I’ll take care of your sweet boys.” She kept her promise and looked after the kids like a grandmother. She took Ralph and Ray in and let them sleep in the bedroom that was specially made for her granddaughter Eva. It was during these days that she knew that the boys’ father died of illness. Sue knew that the neighbor, Selina, had been trying to make ends meet by selling sweaters and socks that she knit. Looking at Selina’s children eat and drink with such joy, she realized how much she longed to see her little Eva.

Sue hugged her and said there was no need to feel indebted to her. “Your kids have ended up making room in my old heart. This house is yours as much as it is mine, darling,” Sue said. That was the beginning of a lifelong friendship between Sue and Selina. Sue looked after the kids while Selina went to a new job she had found, and Selina took care of Sue like her own mother. Paragraph 2: One Thanksgiving, when Sue and the Selina were talking, Sue’s door was knocked. It was her son Steve and her granddaughter, Eva! Steve thought it would come as a surprise for his mother. However, Steve was speechless, looking at the amount of joy and love around the house. Seeing his mother happier than she had been in years, Steve felt a little guilty for not giving her this happiness sooner. Steve made himself a promise: To become another source of love, belonging, and happiness in his beloved mother’s sunset years. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了 83的Sue一直渴望儿子和孙女来看完她，但是儿子很忙不能来。有一天，Sue家旁边搬来了一个新邻居，结果邻居的女主人Selina意外晕倒了，Sue发现后救了这位女士，并帮助她照顾她的儿子的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“塞琳娜非常感动，绞尽脑汁想找个词来感谢她年迈的邻居”可知，第一段可描写Sue和邻居成为了朋友并继续帮助她照顾孩子。 ②由第二段首句内容“一个感恩节，苏和塞琳娜一家正在聊天，有人敲了苏的门”可知，第二段可描写Sue的儿子来看望母亲后感到很内疚，承诺经常来看望母亲。 2.续写线索：感谢——成为朋友——继续照顾孩子——儿子看望——内疚——承诺 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①拥抱她：hug her/take her in arms ②照顾：take care of /look after ③做出承诺：make a promise/make a commitment 情绪类 ①感动：be moved/get touched ②哑口无言：be speechless/become silent 【点睛】【高分句型1】 Sue looked after the kids while Selina went to a new job she had found, and Selina took care of Sue like her own mother.（运用while引导时间状语从句） 【高分句型2】 Your kids have ended up making room in my old heart.（运用了动名词作宾语） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$null
