B It was very late and everyone had left the café except an old man who sat in the shadow the leaves of the tree made against the electric light. In the day time the street was dusty, but at night the dew settled the dust and the old man liked to sit late because he was deaf and now at night it was quiet and he felt the difference. The two waiters inside the café knew that the old man was a little drunk, and while he was a good client they knew that if he became too drunk he would leave without paying, so they kept watch on him. “Last week he tried to commit suicide,” one waiter said. “Why?” “He was in despair.” “What about?” “Nothing.” “How do you know it was nothing?” “He has plenty of money.” They sat together at a table that was close against the wall near the door of the café and looked at the terrace (露台) where the tables were all empty except where the old man sat in the shadow of the leaves of the tree that moved slightly in the wind. “The guard will pick him up,” one waiter said. “What does it matter if he gets what he’s after?” “He had better get off the street now. The guard will get him. They went by five minutes ago.” The old man sitting in the shadow tapped his saucer with his glass. The younger waiter went over to him. “What do you want?” The old man looked at him. “Another brandy,” he said. “You’ll be drunk,” the waiter said. The old man looked at him. The waiter went away. “He’ll stay all night,” he said to his colleague. “I’m sleepy now. I never get into bed before three o’clock. He should have killed himself last week.” The younger waiter took the brandy bottle and marched out to the old man’s table. “You should have killed yourself last week,” he said to the deaf man. The old man motioned with his finger. “A little more,” he said. The waiter poured on into the glass. “Thank you,” the old man said. The waiter took the bottle back inside the café. He sat down at the table with his colleague again. 4. What happened to the old man? A. He was in poverty and despair. B. He was caught in alcohol problem. C. He had lost hope and attempted suicide. D. He was abandoned by his family. 5. Why did the younger waiter want to close the café early? A. He wanted to sleep. B. He had an appointment. C. He didn’t like the old man. D. He thought the old man is drunk. 6. What is the younger waiter’s attitude towards the old man? A. Sympathetic. B. Impatient. C. Respectful. D. Moderate. 7. The writing style in this story is characterized by ________. A. complex and ambiguous plots B. spare and economical language C. vivid and detailed dialogue D. frequent use of similes C Children who were behind in their development at age 4-5were almost three times as likely to have been out of education, employment, or training at age 16-17, analysis of pupil data has found. 4-5-ycar-olds in England are assessed by the Early Years Foundation Stage Profile, and those who reach the boundary of a “good level of development” are considered “school ready”. The new study in the journal BMC Public Health has found a significant gap in Not in Education, Employment or Training（NEET）outcomes between those who were ready and unready for primary school. The research drew on data from more than 8,000 Bradford young people whose records are linked as part of the Connected Bradford project. The research found that 11%of children who were not school ready went on to be NEET at 16-17, compared to just 4%of children who were school ready. Lead author Dr Matthew Warburton, Research Officer at Leeds’School of Psychology, said: “These findings tell us that there are clear, early indicators for children and young people being at risk of disadvantage in late adolescence. As schools routinely collect this data, the research could be used to kickstart early intervention in schools based on primary school readiness.” The research team, which also included academics from Lancaster University and the Bradford Institute for Health Research, say this shows a clear need for early intervention by schools to reduce disadvantage in later life. This echoes the message from a series of N8 Child of the North and Centre for Young Lives reports on the need to put children and young people first. Senior author Dr Amy Atkinson, Lecturer in the Department of Psychology at Lancaster University said: “Data from the Early Years Foundation Stage Profile is readily available for millions of children and young people in England. This information could, and should, be used to identify pupils at increased risk of becoming NEET.” 8. What does the Early Years Foundation Stage Profile probably do? A. Record employment status. B. Monitor teenagers’progress. C. Evaluate primary school students. D. Assess 4-5-year-olds’development. 9. What does Dr Matthew imply about the current situation of schools? A. They lack data for early intervention. B. They lack data to identify at-risk students. C. Early intervention is required. D. Early intervention have been done. 10. What do we know about the data according to the last paragraph? A. It is rarely used in England. B. It is not enough for identifying NEET youth. C. It is used effectively for the NEET issue. D. It can solve the issue of NEET youth. 11. The passage is structured in the following way. A. Introducing a topic-Describing related studies -Making suggestions B. Making a claim -Providing evidence-Drawing a conclusion C. Presenting a problem -Analyzing the causes -Offering solutions D. Raising a question-Discussing different opinions -Reaching an agreement D Researchers say they’ve used cutting-edge gravitational wave research to cast new light on a mystery — a 2000-year-old computer, the Antikythera mechanism found in shipwreck. Well over a century after its discovery, researchers at the University of Glasgow say they’ve used statistical modeling techniques, originally designed to analyze gravitational waves — ripples in spacetime caused by major events in the universe such as two black holes combining —to suggest that the Antikythera mechanism was likely used to track the Greek lunar year. In short, it’s a fascinating collision between modern-day science and the mysteries of an ancient artifact. In a 2021 paper, researchers found that previously discovered and regularly spaced holes in a “calendar ring” were marked to describe the “motions of the sun, moon, and all five planets known in ancient Greeks and how they were displayed at the front as an ancient Greek universe.” Now, in a new study published in the Official Journal of the British Horological Institute, University of Glasgow gravitational wave researcher Graham Woan and researchassociate Joseph Bayley suggest that the ring was likely perforated (打孔)with 354 holes, which happens to be the number of days in a lunar year. The team used statistical models derived from gravitational wave research, a large-scale physics experiment designed to measure ripples in spacetime millions of light-years from Earth and Bayesian analysis, a technique using probability to quantify uncertainty based on incomplete data, to calculate the likely number of holes in the mechanism using the positions of the surviving holes and the placement of the ring’s surviving six fragments. Surprisingly, the inspiration for the study came from a YouTuber Chris Budiselic, who has been attempting to physically recreate the ancient mechanism and investigating ways to determine just how many holes it contained. “It’s a neat symmetry that we’ve adapted techniques we use to study the universe today to understand more about a mechanism that helped people keep track of the heavens nearly two millennia ago,” Woan said. “We hope that our findings about the Antikythera mechanism, although less supernaturally spectacular than those made by Indiana Jones, will help deepen our understanding of how this remarkable device was made and used by the Greeks,” Woan sadded. 12. What was the original purpose of the statistical modelingtechniques? A. To study the Antikythera mechanism. B. To investigate ancient artifacts. C. To track the Greek lunar year. D. To analyze gravitational waves. 13. How did the researchers calculate the likely number of holes in the mechanism? A. By using statistical models and Bayesian analysis. B By observing the mechanism directly. C. By asking YouTuber Chris Budiselic. D. By observing the physical recreation of the mechanism. 14. The underlined term “Bayesian analysis” in paragraph 4 refer to a technique. A. to recreate an ancient mechanism. B. to measure ripples in spacetime. C to calculate uncertainty based on insufficient data. D. to calculate the positions of the surviving holes. 15. What is the main idea of the text? A. Modern science was ideally combined with an ancient artifact. B. The Antikythera mechanism was discovered in a shipwreck. C. The mystery of the Antikythera mechanism remains unsolved. D. Gravitational wave research revealed the Antikythera mechanismt. 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。 Look back a few hundred years and chillies were nowhere to be found in China.

The alarm’s loud ring jolted him,but he wasn’t too disheartened. He rushed to his study table where an empty jam bottle held a colourful little butterfly. Catching it had been a hard task as it kept avoiding his grasp, but finally he managed without a net. This butterfly was going to be part of his biology project in school. The biology project required Poltu to submit the study of a living creature every month. Most of his classmates drew diagrams from their books as part of this exercise. But Poltu was going to do something different. He was going to present a live creature -this butterfly. Poltu loved the different colours on the wings of the butterfly-red, green and blue. How beautiful it looked when it fluttered the wings. Poltu had been caring for it, making holes in the bottle cap for air and providing tenderleaves for it to eat. Excited about displaying his exhibit to the biology teacher, Poltu dressed hurriedly, and left for school. His school was walking distance from his house. He took a shortcut through the backyardof Sinha aunty’s house, a stretch he loved walking through. The breeze was very pleasant as it had rained slightly the previous night. The garden smelt of sweet-smelling flowers. Poltu glanced at his bottle every now and then and smiled at the butterfly fluttering its wings. When he reached school, the gate wasn’t wholly open yet. For once, Poltu was early to school. A few boys were playing football on the field. Any other day would have seen Poltu joining them without a second thought. But today, he walked straight into his class. He opened the window and placed the bottle on the windowsill(窗台). The golden rays of the sun streamed through the glass, on the delicate wings of the butterfly, and added brightness to them. Poltu’s butterfly looked simply gorgeous. In a fewminutes, the area was full of boys, watching it in surprise. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 That day’s biology class was the most interesting in a long time. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Suddenly, the butterfly didn’t move. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力: 1-5CBABA 6-10 BACAB 11-15CBAAC 16-20BCABC 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 湖北省“腾·云”联盟2024—2025学年度上学期八月联考 高三英语试卷 考试时间：2024年8月13日上午8:00—10:00 试卷满分：150分 ★祝考试顺利★ 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，并将准考证亏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） 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案 转涂到答题卡上。 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 例：How much is the shirt?

In the day time the street was dusty, but at night the dew settled the dust and the old man liked to sit late because he was deaf and now at night it was quiet and he felt the difference. The two waiters inside the café knew that the old man was a little drunk, and while he was a good client they knew that if he became too drunk he would leave without paying, so they kept watch on him. “Last week he tried to commit suicide,” one waiter said. “Why?” “He was in despair.” “What about?” “Nothing.” “How do you know it was nothing?” “He has plenty of money.” They sat together at a table that was close against the wall near the door of the café and looked at the terrace (露台) where the tables were all empty except where the old man sat in the shadow of the leaves of the tree that moved slightly in the wind. “The guard will pick him up,” one waiter said. “What does it matter if he gets what he’s after?” “He had better get off the street now. The guard will get him. They went by five minutes ago.” The old man sitting in the shadow tapped his saucer with his glass. The younger waiter went over to him. “What do you want?” The old man looked at him. “Another brandy,” he said. “You’ll be drunk,” the waiter said. The old man looked at him. The waiter went away. “He’ll stay all night,” he said to his colleague. “I’m sleepy now. I never get into bed before three o’clock. He should have killed himself last week.” The younger waiter took the brandy bottle and marched out to the old man’s table. “You should have killed yourself last week,” he said to the deaf man. The old man motioned with his finger. “A little more,” he said. The waiter poured on into the glass. “Thank you,” the old man said. The waiter took the bottle back inside the café. He sat down at the table with his colleague again. 4. What happened to the old man? A. He was in poverty and despair. B. He was caught in alcohol problem. C. He had lost hope and attempted suicide. D. He was abandoned by his family. 5. Why did the younger waiter want to close the café early? A. He wanted to sleep. B. He had an appointment. C. He didn’t like the old man. D. He thought the old man is drunk. 6. What is the younger waiter’s attitude towards the old man? A. Sympathetic. B. Impatient. C. Respectful. D. Moderate. 7. The writing style in this story is characterized by ________. A. complex and ambiguous plots B. spare and economical language C. vivid and detailed dialogue D. frequent use of similes 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. B 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章节选自海明威的短篇小说A Clean, Well-lighted Place（《一个干净明亮的地方》），故事围绕一个孤独但富有的老人展开，咖啡店的两位侍者对他的行为好奇而困惑，谈论着他试图自杀的事情。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段““Last week he tried to commit suicide,” one waiter said. (“上周他试图自杀，”一名服务员说。)”和第四段““He was in despair.” (“他很绝望。”)”可知，老人失去了希望，企图自杀。故选C项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第三段中这位年轻服务员所说的话“I’m sleepy now. I never get into bed before three o’clock. (我现在困了。三点之前我从来没有睡过觉。)”可知，年轻侍者想早点打烊是因为他想睡觉。故选A项。 6题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第三段中和最后一段中这位年轻侍者所说的话“He should have killed himself last week. (他上周就该杀了自己)”、“You should have killed yourself last week (你上周就该杀了自己)”可知，年轻侍者两次提到希望老人自杀成功。由此可知，他对老人的态度是不耐烦的。故选B项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，比如第一段中“In the day time the street was dusty, but at night the dew settled the dust and the old man liked to sit late because he was deaf and now at night it was quiet and he felt the difference. (白天，街上满是灰尘，但到了晚上，露水把灰尘沉淀下来，老人喜欢坐到很晚，因为他是个聋人，现在晚上很安静，他感到了不同)”、第二至八段的简短对话可知，文章多使用简单直接的句子，对话直截了当，很少描述细节，叙事集中在人物的行为和对话上，没有过多的描述和修饰。因此，这个故事的写作风格特点是语言简洁。A. 复杂而模糊的情节；B. 简洁的语言；C. 生动详细的对话；D. 经常使用明喻。故选B项。 C Children who were behind in their development at age 4-5were almost three times as likely to have been out of education, employment, or training at age 16-17, analysis of pupil data has found. 4-5-ycar-olds in England are assessed by the Early Years Foundation Stage Profile, and those who reach the boundary of a “good level of development” are considered “school ready”. The new study in the journal BMC Public Health has found a significant gap in Not in Education, Employment or Training（NEET）outcomes between those who were ready and unready for primary school. The research drew on data from more than 8,000 Bradford young people whose records are linked as part of the Connected Bradford project. The research found that 11%of children who were not school ready went on to be NEET at 16-17, compared to just 4%of children who were school ready. Lead author Dr Matthew Warburton, Research Officer at Leeds’School of Psychology, said: “These findings tell us that there are clear, early indicators for children and young people being at risk of disadvantage in late adolescence. As schools routinely collect this data, the research could be used to kickstart early intervention in schools based on primary school readiness.” The research team, which also included academics from Lancaster University and the Bradford Institute for Health Research, say this shows a clear need for early intervention by schools to reduce disadvantage in later life. This echoes the message from a series of N8 Child of the North and Centre for Young Lives reports on the need to put children and young people first. Senior author Dr Amy Atkinson, Lecturer in the Department of Psychology at Lancaster University said: “Data from the Early Years Foundation Stage Profile is readily available for millions of children and young people in England. This information could, and should, be used to identify pupils at increased risk of becoming NEET.” 8. What does the Early Years Foundation Stage Profile probably do? A. Record employment status. B. Monitor teenagers’progress. C. Evaluate primary school students. D. Assess 4-5-year-olds’development. 9. What does Dr Matthew imply about the current situation of schools? A. They lack data for early intervention. B. They lack data to identify at-risk students. C. Early intervention is required. D. Early intervention have been done. 10. What do we know about the data according to the last paragraph? A. It is rarely used in England. B. It is not enough for identifying NEET youth. C. It is used effectively for the NEET issue. D. It can solve the issue of NEET youth. 11. The passage is structured in the following way. A. Introducing a topic-Describing related studies -Making suggestions B. Making a claim -Providing evidence-Drawing a conclusion C. Presenting a problem -Analyzing the causes -Offering solutions D. Raising a question-Discussing different opinions -Reaching an agreement 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. D 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要讨论了儿童早期发展阶段评估与其青少年时期是否处于“不在教育、就业或培训”状态之间的关联。研究发现，那些在4-5岁时未达到良好发展水平的孩子，在16-17岁时成为NEET的可能性要高得多。该研究强调了早期干预的重要性。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“4-5-year-olds in England are assessed by the Early Years Foundation Stage Profile, and those who reach the boundary of a “good level of development” are considered “school ready” (英格兰的4-5岁的孩子通过早期基础阶段档案进行评估，那些达到“良好发展水平”的孩子被认为是“准备好上学”的)”可知，Early Years Foundation Stage Profile是用来评估4-5岁儿童的发展水平。故选D项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Lead author Dr Matthew Warburton, Research Officer at Leeds’School of Psychology, said: “These findings tell us that there are clear, early indicators for children and young people being at risk of disadvantage in late adolescence. As schools routinely collect this data, the research could be used to kickstart early intervention in schools based on primary school readiness. (主要作者利兹大学心理学院的研究员马修·沃伯顿博士说：“这些发现告诉我们，对于儿童和年轻人来说，在青春期后期面临不利因素有明确的早期指标。由于学校常规收集这些数据，这项研究可以用来基于小学入学准备启动学校的早期干预。”)”可以推断出Dr Matthew认为学校应该实施早期干预。故选C项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Data from the Early Years Foundation Stage Profile is readily available for millions of children and young people in England. This information could, and should, be used to identify pupils at increased risk of becoming NEET. (英格兰数百万儿童和年轻人的早期基础阶段档案的数据很容易获得。这些信息可以也应该用来识别成为NEET风险增高的学生)”可以得知，这些数据可以解决NEET问题。故选D项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Children who were behind in their development at age 4-5were almost three times as likely to have been out of education, employment, or training at age 16-17, analysis of pupil data has found(在4-5岁时发展落后的儿童，到了16-17岁时，几乎有三倍的可能性处于无教育、无就业或无培训的状态，对小学生数据的分析发现了这一点)”、第二段“4-5-year-olds in England are assessed by the Early Years Foundation Stage Profile, and those who reach the boundary of a “good level of development” are considered “school ready” (英格兰的4-5岁的孩子通过早期基础阶段档案进行评估，那些达到“良好发展水平”的孩子被认为是“准备好上学”的)”、第四段“Lead author Dr Matthew Warburton, Research Officer at Leeds’School of Psychology, said: “These findings tell us that there are clear, early indicators for children and young people being at risk of disadvantage in late adolescence.

This information could, and should, be used to identify pupils at increased risk of becoming NEET. (英格兰数百万儿童和年轻人的早期基础阶段档案的数据很容易获得。这些信息可以也应该用来识别成为NEET风险增高的学生)”可知，文章首先介绍了研究发现（即儿童早期发展状况与后来是否成为NEET之间的关联），然后描述了相关研究的细节，最后提出建议（即利用现有数据进行早期干预）。因此，选项A“Introducing a topic-Describing related studies -Making suggestions(引入话题-描述相关研究-提出建议)”符合文章的结构。故选A项。 D Researchers say they’ve used cutting-edge gravitational wave research to cast new light on a mystery — a 2000-year-old computer, the Antikythera mechanism found in shipwreck. Well over a century after its discovery, researchers at the University of Glasgow say they’ve used statistical modeling techniques, originally designed to analyze gravitational waves — ripples in spacetime caused by major events in the universe such as two black holes combining —to suggest that the Antikythera mechanism was likely used to track the Greek lunar year. In short, it’s a fascinating collision between modern-day science and the mysteries of an ancient artifact. In a 2021 paper, researchers found that previously discovered and regularly spaced holes in a “calendar ring” were marked to describe the “motions of the sun, moon, and all five planets known in ancient Greeks and how they were displayed at the front as an ancient Greek universe.” Now, in a new study published in the Official Journal of the British Horological Institute, University of Glasgow gravitational wave researcher Graham Woan and researchassociate Joseph Bayley suggest that the ring was likely perforated (打孔)with 354 holes, which happens to be the number of days in a lunar year. The team used statistical models derived from gravitational wave research, a large-scale physics experiment designed to measure ripples in spacetime millions of light-years from Earth and Bayesian analysis, a technique using probability to quantify uncertainty based on incomplete data, to calculate the likely number of holes in the mechanism using the positions of the surviving holes and the placement of the ring’s surviving six fragments. Surprisingly, the inspiration for the study came from a YouTuber Chris Budiselic, who has been attempting to physically recreate the ancient mechanism and investigating ways to determine just how many holes it contained. “It’s a neat symmetry that we’ve adapted techniques we use to study the universe today to understand more about a mechanism that helped people keep track of the heavens nearly two millennia ago,” Woan said. “We hope that our findings about the Antikythera mechanism, although less supernaturally spectacular than those made by Indiana Jones, will help deepen our understanding of how this remarkable device was made and used by the Greeks,” Woan sadded. 12. What was the original purpose of the statistical modelingtechniques? A. To study the Antikythera mechanism. B. To investigate ancient artifacts. C. To track the Greek lunar year. D. To analyze gravitational waves. 13. How did the researchers calculate the likely number of holes in the mechanism? A. By using statistical models and Bayesian analysis. B. By observing the mechanism directly. C. By asking YouTuber Chris Budiselic. D. By observing the physical recreation of the mechanism. 14. The underlined term “Bayesian analysis” in paragraph 4 refer to a technique. A to recreate an ancient mechanism. B. to measure ripples in spacetime. C. to calculate uncertainty based on insufficient data. D. to calculate the positions of the surviving holes. 15. What is the main idea of the text? A. Modern science was ideally combined with an ancient artifact. B. The Antikythera mechanism was discovered in a shipwreck. C. The mystery of the Antikythera mechanism remains unsolved. D. Gravitational wave research revealed the Antikythera mechanismt. 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. C 15.

Unlike Sichuan peppers, which are native to the region and widely used, chillies were brought to China from the Americas by Portuguese and Dutch explorers only in the 16th century. ____16____ For at least 50 years, they were grown as decorative plants, prized for their cheerfully bright colour and tiny white flowers,and occasionally used as medicinal herbs. During China’s last imperial period, peasants in Guizhou province started using them as a salt alternative. ____17____ The pepper steadily spread to other rural regions of China. ____18____ For a long time, “la” was used to describe vicious-natured (性情恶毒的) people, and the few people who enjoyed chillies did not boost their taste. But the Communist revolution changed that. The chefs of nobles were out of favour, and their traditions discontinued.____19____ Industrialisation after the revolution created the largest migration in human history. ____20____ Chillies are now integrated into street food, fine dining and snacks in regions with little tradition of heat. A. At first, nobody ate chillies. B. However, chillies were rarely grown initially. C. From there, a new flavour was unlocked. D. And then, chillies gained a great popularity. E. From then on, chillies became a symbol of working class. F. However, the strong flavor barred it from getting near the tables of upper-class families. G. Millions of migrants poured into big cities, bringing with them the spicy flavours of home. 【答案】16. A 17. C 18. F 19. E 20. G 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了辣椒在中国的历史和发展。辣椒最初是从美洲传入中国的，起初只是作为观赏植物和草药，后来逐渐被用作调味品，并在中国各地广泛传播。 【16题详解】 根据下文“For at least 50 years, they were grown as decorative plants, prized for their cheerfully bright colour and tiny white flowers, and occasionally used as medicinal herbs.(至少有50年的时间，辣椒被当作观赏植物种植，因其鲜艳的颜色和小白花而受到珍视，偶尔也被用作草药。)”可知，辣椒最初并不是作为食物被食用的，而是作为观赏植物和草药，这与A项“At first, nobody ate chillies.(起初，没有人吃辣椒。)”表达的含义一致，故选A项。 【17题详解】 根据上文“During China’s last imperial period, peasants in Guizhou province started using them as a salt alternative.(在中国最后一个帝国时期，贵州省的农民开始将辣椒作为盐的替代品。)”可知，辣椒开始被用作调味品，这与C项“From there, a new flavour was unlocked.(自此，一种新的味道被解锁。)”表达的含义一致，故选C项。 【18题详解】 根据下文“For a long time, “la” was used to describe vicious-natured people, and the few people who enjoyed chillies did not boost their taste.(很长一段时间里，“辣”被用来形容性情恶毒的人，而那些喜欢辣椒的人并没有提升他们的口味。)”可知，因为“辣”被用来形容性情恶毒的人，可推理出辣椒在上层阶级的餐桌上并不受欢迎，这与F项“However, the strong flavor barred it from getting near the tables of upper-class families.(然而，浓烈的味道使它无法接近上层家庭的餐桌。)”表达的含义一致，故选F项。 【19题详解】 根据下文“Industrialisation after the revolution created the largest migration in human history.(革命后的工业化创造了人类历史上最大规模的迁移。)”以及“Chillies are now integrated into street food, fine dining and snacks in regions with little tradition of heat. (辣椒现在被融入街头小吃、美食和零食中，在那些几乎没有辣味传统的地区也是如此。)”可知，越来越多地普通民众接触到了辣椒，这与E项“From then on, chillies became a symbol of working class. (从那时起，辣椒成为了工人阶级的象征。)”表达的含义一致，故选E项。 【20题详解】 根据上文“Industrialisation after the revolution created the largest migration in human history.(革命后的工业化创造了人类历史上最大规模的迁移。)”以及下文“Chillies are now integrated into street food, fine dining and snacks in regions with little tradition of heat. (辣椒现在被融入街头小吃、美食和零食中，在那些几乎没有辣味传统的地区也是如此。)”可知，大量移民涌入大城市，带来了家乡的辛辣口味，这与G项“Millions of migrants poured into big cities, bringing with them the spicy flavours of home. (数百万移民涌入大城市，带来了家乡的辛辣口味。)”表达的含义一致，故选G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，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 Growing up in poverty in rural Kenya, Nelly Cheboi watched her single mother work tirelessly so she could attend school.

The alarm’s loud ring jolted him,but he wasn’t too disheartened. He rushed to his study table where an empty jam bottle held a colourful little butterfly. Catching it had been a hard task as it kept avoiding his grasp, but finally he managed without a net. This butterfly was going to be part of his biology project in school. The biology project required Poltu to submit the study of a living creature every month. Most of his classmates drew diagrams from their books as part of this exercise. But Poltu was going to do something different. He was going to present a live creature -this butterfly. Poltu loved the different colours on the wings of the butterfly-red, green and blue. How beautiful it looked when it fluttered the wings. Poltu had been caring for it, making holes in the bottle cap for air and providing tenderleaves for it to eat. Excited about displaying his exhibit to the biology teacher, Poltu dressed hurriedly, and left for school. His school was walking distance from his house. He took a shortcut through the backyardof Sinha aunty’s house, a stretch he loved walking through. The breeze was very pleasant as it had rained slightly the previous night. The garden smelt of sweet-smelling flowers. Poltu glanced at his bottle every now and then and smiled at the butterfly fluttering its wings. When he reached school, the gate wasn’t wholly open yet. For once, Poltu was early to school. A few boys were playing football on the field. Any other day would have seen Poltu joining them without a second thought. But today, he walked straight into his class. He opened the window and placed the bottle on the windowsill(窗台). The golden rays of the sun streamed through the glass, on the delicate wings of the butterfly, and added brightness to them. Poltu’s butterfly looked simply gorgeous. In a fewminutes, the area was full of boys, watching it in surprise. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 That day’s biology class was the most interesting in a long time. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Suddenly, the butterfly didn’t move. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】That day’s biology class was the most interesting in a long time. The teacher was thoroughly impressed by Poltu’s presentation of the live butterfly. He used it as a starting point for a lively discussion about the life of butterflies, their roles in nature and the importance of protecting such creatures. The classmates crowded around and listened attentively, asking questions and sharing their own thoughts as Pulte shared his experiences. The classroom buzzed with excitement and a thirst for knowledge. Everyone was engaged and learning in a way that was fun and memorable. Suddenly, the butterfly did not move. A hush fell over everyone as they held their breaths, concern stamped on their faces. Was the butterfly unwell? Panic began to rise within Plotu. But after a tense moment, the butterfly moved again, as if taking a moment of rest. A collective sigh of relief filled the air. This brief scare made everyone realize the vulnerability and resilience of life. In the end, Poltu, having learned and shared so much about the butterfly, made the decision to send the butterfly to where it belonged- nature. With a gentle release, the butterfly fluttered away. a symbol of freedom and the beauty. 【解析】 【导语】本文以事件发展为线索展开，讲述了Poltu为了完成生物作业，精心准备了一只活的蝴蝶带到学校展示的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ① 由第一段首句“那天的生物课是很长一段时间以来最有趣的。”可知，第一段可描写生物课上大家围绕蝴蝶展开的积极互动和学习。 ② 由第二段首句“突然，蝴蝶不动了。”可知，第二段可描写大家对蝴蝶不动的反应以及后续的发展。 2.续写线索： 生物课有趣——老师讲解——同学讨论——蝴蝶不动——大家担心——蝴蝶又动——释放蝴蝶 词汇激活 3.行为类 ① 印象深刻：be impressed / be struck ② 聚集：crowd around / gather around ③ 释放：release / set free 情绪类 ① 担心：concern / worry ② 放松：relief / relaxation 【点睛】[高分句型1].
