B As a young girl growing up in France, Sarah Toumi dreamed of becoming a leader who could make the world a better place. Her passion to help others was awakened when, from the age of nine, she accompanied her Tunisian father to his birthplace in the east of the country during holidays. There she organized homework clubs and activities for children. Toumi witnessed first-hand the destructive effect of desertification (沙漠化). “Within10 years rich farmers became worse off, and in 10 years from now they will be poor. I wanted to stop the Sahara Desert in its tracks.” A decrease in average rainfall and an increase in the severity of droughts have led to an estimated 75 percent of Tunisia’s agricultural lands being threatened by desertification. Toumi recognized that farming practices needed to change. She is confident that small land areas can bring large returns if farmers are able to adapt by planting sustainable (可持续的) crops, using new technologies for water treatment and focusing on natural products and fertilizers (肥料) rather than chemicals. In 2012, Toumi continued her dream to fight the desert. She moved to Tunisia, and set up a programme named Acacias for All to put her sustainable farming philosophy into action. “I want to show young people in rural areas that they can create opportunities where they are. Nobody is better able to understand the impact of desertification and climate change than somebody who is living with no access to water.” By September2016, more than 130, 000 acacia trees had been planted on 20 pilot farms, with farmers recording a 60 percent survival rate. Toumi estimates that some 3 million acacia trees are needed to protect Tunisia’s farmland. She expects to plant l million trees by 2028. In the next couple of years, Toumi hopes to extend the programme to Algeria and Morocco. 4. How did Toumi’s holiday trips to Tunisia influence her? A. They fired her enthusiasm for helping others. B. They helped her better understand her father. C. They made her decide to leave the country. D. They destroyed her dream of being a teacher. 5. What is the main cause of the desertification of Tunisia’s farmland? A. Cold weather. B. Soil pollution. C. Low rainfall. D. Forest damage. 6. Why did Toumi set up Acacias for All in Tunisia? A. To create job opportunities for young people. B. To promote the protection of their farmland. C. To persuade the farmers not to use fertilizers. D. To help the children obtain a basic education. 7. Which of the following can be the best title to the text? A. Saving Water in Africa B. Fighting Poverty in North Africa C. Holding back the Sahara D. Planting Trees in Tunisia C Elephants are the largest land mammals on Earth, and understanding them better could lead to big scientific breakthroughs in science. Both delicate and sturdy, elephant trunks (象鼻) can grasp a single leaf but can also carry nearly 600 pounds. Scientists think that they are an incredible inspiration for the next generation of bio-inspired (仿生) robots. By conducting a high- resolution motion capture analysis of elephants’ trunks, researchers found elephants have a set of simple movements that they can integrate freely to handle objects of various shapes and sizes. For example, elephants use suction (吸力) to pick up lightweight objects. However, to pick up heavier things, they use suction to secure the position of the objects and trunk wrapping to hold and lift things. “It’s not the whole trunk that is lengthening or shortening — it’s different parts, relying on what the elephant is doing,” said Milinkovitch, professor of the physics of biology at the University of Geneva, Switzerland. Researchers also performed CT scans and MRIs on the trunk of a dead elephant. They used high- resolution cameras to create a 3D model of a trunk, allowing them to better understand the structure of an elephant’s muscle groups, skin and connective tissues. The study data will be used to help design an innovative“ soft” robotic arm.“ The data is exceptional, but now the effort is to translate this biological data into some engineering specifications,” Milinkovitch said. “We need to extract some simplifying principles that can make the robot’s behavior simple enough to be effective and adaptable to changes.” The project is also fueling advancements in material science, as researchers have developed a new material similar to the useful properties of elephant skin and can be 3D printed for robotic prototypes (原型). The new materials may be commercialized for a wide range of uses. 8. What does the underlined word “sturdy” in paragraph l probably mean? A. Strong. B. Broad. C. Sensitive. D. Rough 9. How does an elephant handle different objects? A. By securing the position of these objects at first. B. By combining suction with trunk movements flexibly. C. By sucking them with all the strength. D. By stretching its trunk based on things’ sizes. 10 Why do researchers translate the biological data? A. To test the safety of the robotic arm. B. To upgrade the appearance of the robot. C. To improve the behavior of the robot. D. To study the structure of muscle tissues. 11. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Elephant Trunks: The Theory of Movement in Robotics B. Elephant Trunks: The Inspiration for Soft Robotics C “Soft” Robotic Arms: An Innovation in 3D- printed Robots D. “Soft” Robotic Arms: A Major Breakthrough in Material Science D Is boredom a thing of the past, like black-and-white television? And, if so, is that a good thing? Julie Robinson, a former teacher who now represents the Independent Association of Prep Schools, thinks that boredom is regarded as an enemy of today’s children, and they are losing the ability to become thoughtful and reflective (沉思的). “We should not fear boredom.” said Julie Robinson. “Boredom is valuable to children. Quiet, reflective time is just as important as purposeful activity,” she added. Her opinion is that constant (连续不断的) activity for a child, often the result of the dreams of parents, will lead to concerned and worrying adult. The traditional ideas that children should be constantly active could prevent the development of their imagination. So anything that improves a greater thoughtfulness is to be warmly welcomed. Parents now feel a sense of failure when they hear their children complain about being bored. They seek an electronic devices (设备) to play games at once. And we didn’t feel bored during long car journeys anymore by the impatient “Are we there yet?” because all kinds of electronic devices have been taken along to avoid even a minute of boredom. So what chance do children have to allow their thoughts to wander? But it’s not just children who need lessons in reflection. Adults need that, too. On my train journey to work this morning, I couldn’t see a single person who wasn’t using an electronic device. No one was simply looking out of the window at the beautiful views of the county side. Not time for quiet thinking, even in the quiet library. There were emails to send, texts to read, and games to play. The wider world, seemingly, didn’t exist. The mobile phone has changed many things about our lives, and has developed an inability — among adults as well as children — to live in the present. What Julie Robinson regards is a cross-generational phenomenon: the fear of “inactivity”. And she is right. 12. Julie Robinson thinks boredom is useful because it makes children_________. A. find effective solutions to social problems B. improve the ability to learn knowledge C. have time to think and have their imagination developed D. communicate more with their parents and friends 13. Which of the following is seen as “inactivity” according to the last paragraph? A. Sending emails on a train. B. Playing games with friends. C. Planning constant activity for children. D. Looking out of the window at the beautiful views. 14. The author mentioned the train journey to show that_________. A. the trip on a quiet train was very boring B. the view of the countryside was beautiful C. people had too much work to do D. electronic devices influence people’s life greatly 15. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? A. Both adults and children like to stay alone and recall their past days. B. People fail to leave their children enough time to think and imagine. C. Electronic devices are always good for both children and adults. D. Parents should tell their children how to use a mobile phone. 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。 How Your Brain Deceives You Your brain possesses some incredible abilities, from recalling conversations with close friends to tackling complex math problems with ease. ____16____ At times, it may even overlook critical information, resulting in errors that could be bad for your well-being or health. ____17____ One of the biggest shortcomings of your brain is that it can get lazy. When trying to solve a problem or make a decision, your mind often falls back on solutions that have worked in the past. While using shortcuts can be a useful and effective approach, they can also trip you up and cause you to make mistakes. For example, maybe you’re terrified of flying because you can think of several tragic, high-profile plane crashes. In reality, traveling by air is much safer than traveling by car. ____18____ Moreover, your brain might fail to detect significant changes occurring in your surroundings, a phenomenon referred to as change blindness. ____19____ — otherwise, it will get overwhelmed. Seemingly not like a huge problem, it can have major consequences according to some research. For example, people who have jobs like air traffic control can make potentially disastrous errors as a result of change blindness. ____20____ In the process, we twist reality to protect our self-esteem — in other words, we don’t want to own up when we mess up. Why do we participate in the blame game? Researchers believe it’s to safeguard our self-esteem and shield ourselves from the fear of failure. When adopting this mindset, we attribute negative outcomes to factors beyond our control. A. Your brain has to prioritize what it pays attention to. B. But it is not that perfect and open to imperfections. C. This realization can carry you through some unnecessary errors. D. However, you can avoid some of these errors by acquiring a better understanding of them. E. It goes without saying that your brain is incapable of processing all information at the the same time. F. When something goes wrong, your brain instinctively seeks someone or something to hold responsible. G. However, your brain is using a mental shortcut to fool you into believing flying is more dangerous than it is. 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四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Cruz Genet, 11, and Anthony Skopick, 10, couldn’t agree.

FOOMP—the pond ____27____ him too. The boys were up to their necks in icy water and quickly losing feeling in their limbs. Any chance of their ____28____ themselves was slipping away. Cruz was sure he was going to die. Anthony’s older sister was nearby and started screaming for help. John Lavin, a ____29____ driving nearby on his way home, heard her. He quickly _____30_____ .

Since then, he had diligently walked a neighbor’s dog and weeded his neighbors’ gardens to earn money for one figurine. Finally he had enough money for one and raced towards the corner shop. Lost in excitement, he accidentally tripped over a homeless old man seated against a wall in the cold, quickly murmuring an apology before continuing on his way. Inside the shop, Jack glanced at the shelves displaying Hulk, Thor, Captain America, Iron Man, and other beloved heroes. His heart raced as he reached for the Spiderman. “You’re a fan, right?” a friendly voice appeared behind him. Jack turned to see the shopkeeper, an elderly man with a warm smile. “Yes, they’re amazing!” Jack said. “They’re strong, and they help so many people. They have super power. I wish I could be a superhero too.” “You can be,” the shopkeeper encouraged. Surprised, Jack asked, “But how? I don’t have any super power.” Smiling softly, the shopkeeper bent down, placing his hands on Jack’s arms. “Why would you need them?” he replied kindly. “See that woman over there? She needs to take care of three children. However, she still actively helps the elderly in the community. And do you know Jimmy? He is a firefighter who has saved countless lives. Being a hero isn’t about super power; it’s about what’s in your heart.” Locking eyes with Jack, the shopkeeper smiled. “You don’t need super power to be a hero. It starts with your heart.” 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。 Hearing what the shopkeeper said, Jack was lost in thought. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ With relief, Jack found the homeless old man still sitting against the wall. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 高三年级学业质量检测（二） 英语试卷 试卷满分（150分） 考试时间（120分钟） 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 （共5小题，每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1．Where will the speakers meet the woman’s mother?

I learned that volunteering is not just about serving others, but also about growing as an individual and making a positive impact in society. 第二节 （满分25分） 【47题答案】 【答案】 Hearing what the shopkeeper said, Jack was lost in thought. The shopkeeper’s words echoed over and over again in his mind. “How can I be a superhero without super power?” he thought to himself. Suddenly, the scene of the homeless old man trembling in the cold flashed across his mind. Jack made a crucial decision that instead of buying a superhero figurine, he walked out of the shop with a large shopping bag full of stuff. Hurriedly, Jack ran back to look for the homeless old man. With relief, Jack found the homeless old man still sitting against the wall. He knelt down beside the old man, offering him a warm smile. “I’m sorry for bumping into you earlier,” Jack said sincerely. “Can I get you something to eat or drink?” The old man looked up, surprised by Jack’s kindness. With a grateful nod, he accepted Jack’s offer. Just then, Jack realized that being a hero wasn’t just about saving the world—it was about making someone’s world a little brighter. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
