Ⅰ.阅读理解(本题共8个小题,每小题2.5分,共20分)
A
(2024·浙江省温州市三模)Recently I bought a book about signposts.Signposts aren't very interesting,you're thinking.Well,that,of course,depends on whether you happen to be lost!Ancient travelers would have been grateful for these when settlements were smaller and further apart.In winter,the ability to reach shelter for the night could be the difference between life and death.
One of the very earliest waymarks discovered is in Cumbria.Dating from Roman times,it had lain fallen until 1836,when a farmer ploughing his fields came across a sandstone shaft (碑文).There are other stone posts that have stood by roadsides for centuries.It wasn't until 1697 that an act was passed declaring that guide-stones must be built.
This applied to remote parts of the country where there might be confusion as to which path led to the nearest market town.Later,with the appearance of the Royal Mail,the number rose still further.Nowadays many of these early road signs are designated (指定) as Listed Monuments.
“How times change!” Lucy,an enthusiastic walker,to whom I loaned the book,exclaimed.
“I suppose now we all rely far more upon mobile phones to guide us.”
“Yet they aren't perfect.Whenever I go out,I prefer a map.I never have to worry about running out of battery.” “I'm always grateful to whoever is placing way-markers along the route,” she added,“I suppose that however sure we are,a little outside confirmation is always welcome.”
Lucy is quite right there.Life itself can offer us a great many choices of path,and sometimes it isn't easy to know if we've chosen the best one.
Perhaps when it comes to gratitude,we should also include thanks for those people who appear in our lives when we most need them—either giving us gentle warning that we might be heading in the wrong direction,or reassurance that we are on the right track.After all,we'd be lost without them!
语篇解读:本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者最近买了一本关于路标的书,以及从书中掌握了解到关于路标的知识。
1.What does the underlined word “these” in the first paragraph refer to?
A.Signposts. B.Abilities.
C.Settlements. D.Shelters.
答案:A
解析:代词指代题。根据第一段中“Recently I bought a book about signposts.”提到路标,以及画线单词句中的“when settlements were smaller and further apart”故可猜测,画线单词these指的就是上文中提到的路标,因此,该句应为:当定居点更小、距离更远的时候,古代旅行者会很感激这些路标。故选A。
2.What contributed to the initial spread of signposts?
A.The market trade.
B.The act passed in 1697.
C.The discovery of the sandstone.
D.The appearance of the Royal Mail.
答案:B
解析:细节理解题。根据第二段可知,1697年通过的法案促成了路标最初的传播。故选B。
3.What does Lucy think of signposts?
A.Popular. B.Outdated.
C.Imperfect. D.Helpful.
答案:D
解析:推理判断题。根据第六段可推知,Lucy对路标的看法是认为它是有帮助的。
4.What does the author learn from signposts?
A.To choose right tracks. B.To live a colorful life.
C.To have a grateful mind. D.To offer practical choices.
答案:C
解析:推理判断题。根据最后一段可推知,作者从路标中学到了要有感恩的心。故选C。
B
(2024·湖南省常德市3月模拟)The World Economic Forum predicts the global population will hit 9.8 billion by 2050,which means we might need to grow as much as double the amount of food we do today and do it without significantly consuming limited resources such as land and water.
But there are reasons to be positive.Historically,human intelligence has risen to the population challenge.8,000 years ago in the first agricultural revolution,the plough (犁) transformed productivity.In the 1800s,inventions such as the seed drill brought a degree of mechanization to farming.Then,in the mid-20th century,there were major breakthroughs in artificial fertilizer and plant science.
Now,we are entering a fourth age of agriculture.Innovation is exploding.The digital transformation of agriculture is not theory.It's real.And it's having a huge impact across all aspects of farming.
In April 2020,Chinese drone (无人机) maker XAG organized a rice seeding demonstration in Guangdong Province.First,it invited two workers to spread 5kg of rice seeds the traditional way—by wading across 1,200 square metres of waterlogged field.The laborious process took 25 minutes.Then it unleashed (释放) its XAG XPlanet drone on the same task.The unmanned aerial system followed a pre-programmed route and threw rice seeds from the air.It completed the job in 120 seconds.XAG claims its system can use up to 90 percent less water and 30 percent fewer chemicals than traditional technique.
Barcelona-based startup Faromatics has also attracted a lot of attention for its EU-funded invention: a robot called the ChickenBoy.It lets chicken farmers autonomously monitor their stock.The robot glides along the ceiling and uses a set of sensors to measure temperature,air quality,light and sound in poultry housing.Farmers can use a cloud platform to set the ChickenBoy to send mobile alerts.
The task of feeding 9.8 billion mouths by 2050 is one of the greatest facing humanity,but thanks to technology,there is good reason to be confident for the future.
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍的是预计到2050年世界人口要达到98亿,要养活这些人是人类面临的最重大的任务之一,但智能农业的发展使人类有充分的理由对未来充满信心。
5.What is the purpose of Paragraph 2?
A.To express the author's confidence in the human wisdom.
B.To tell us some challenges in the agricultural development.
C.To show us the present situation of the world food shortage.
D.To call on the government to take some effective measures.
答案:A
解析:推理判断题。根据第二段中的“But there are reasons to be positive.Historically,human intelligence has risen to the population challenge.”可推知,第二段的目的是表达作者对人类的智慧充满信心。
6.What is the advantage of XAG XPlanet drone?
A.It saves more money than the manual seeding.
B.It's more efficient and environmentally friendly.
C.It can rapidly reduce wastage and improve yields.
D.It helps farmers make better decisions about seeding.
答案:B
解析:细节理解题。根据倒数第三段中的“It completed the job in 120 seconds.XAG claims its system can use up to 90 percent less water and 30 percent fewer chemicals than traditional technique.”可知,XAG XPlanet的用时很短,比传统技术省水,而且使用的化学物质更少,由此可知,XAG XPlanet无人机效率高而且环保。
7.What can be inferred about the ChickenBoy?
A.Its system needs to be improved.
B.It aims to attract farmers' attention.
C.It was invented by a chicken farmer.
D.It helps farmers look after the chicken.
答案:D
解析:推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“The robot glides along the ceiling and uses a set of sensors to measure temperature,air quality,light and sound in poultry housing.Farmers can use a cloud platform to set the ChickenBoy to send mobile alerts.”可知,机器人负责家禽房内的温度、空气质量、光线和声音,而农民只需要使用云平台对ChickenBoy进行操作。由此推知,ChickenBoy帮助农民照顾家禽。
8.What does “human intelligence” refer to in the passage?
A.Smart farming.
B.Agricultural revolution.
C.Plant science.
D.Artificial intelligence.
答案:A

Ⅱ.阅读七选五(本题共5个小题,每小题2分,共10分)
(2024·湖北省3月第二次模拟)You will be leaving this school at the end of this year and the unavoidable question many people will ask you is,“So,what do you want to be?” 1 But many of you still don't have a clue!Here are some things you might want to consider.
First,does the career you are considering have staying power? Will it be in demand in 20 years? Rapid technological change is disruptive (破坏性的). 2 While many occupations are being taken over by new technology,jobs that require high-level of critical thinking,emotional intelligence and human interaction,remain in high demand.These jobs are more adaptable and not easily replaced by machines or technology.
Second,choose a career that interests you.Some people might think this is unimportant,but if you are truly passionate about your job then going to work every day won't seem a chore.It's also likely that you will stay and grow in this career.Before making a choice,you should examine your values,skills and personality type. 3
Third,of course you will want to consider your chosen profession's earning power!Although high pay plays a part,you should know that a job with a big salary will likely require more time to get to the top,much more effort and a higher level of stress. 4 If you have interests outside of work,or are struggling with other demands in your life,you might want to choose a less taxing line of work.
5 Let me leave you with an old saying: “Choose a job you love,and you will never have to work a day in your life.”
A.We need to be forward-looking at our future prospects.
B.Some of you may have already decided on a career path.
C.Trying different work can help you find out your favorite job.
D.This can help you decide if a career path is a good fit for you.
E.Only the truly motivated will likely be able to meet these challenges.
F.People's wages are lower in industries with slow technological change.
G.Thinking about a life-long career at this stage in your life is surely challenging.

4.答案:E
解析:上文提出与高薪相伴的是更多的付出与挑战,E项“Only the truly motivated will likely be able to meet these challenges.”承接上文,说明什么样的人才能面对这些挑战,句中“these challenges”与上文“require more time to get to the top,much more effort and a higher level of stress”相照应。
5.答案:G
解析:设空句是末段首句,是对全文的总结。G项“Thinking about a life-long career at this stage in your life is surely challenging.”提出考虑一生的事业是具有挑战性的事情,下文用一句谚语给出解答,从而实现对全文的总结。
