There is chronological age (实际年龄), which measures how much time a person has spent on Earth, and then there is biological age, referring to how old a person seems. Many lifestyle factors like diet, exercise and psychological state can impact someone’s biological age. A new study from Deep Longevity, the Chinese University of Hong Kong and Stanford University found that feelings that cause poor mental health like sadness, loneliness and general unhappiness add an extra 1.65 years to a person’s biological age. Meanwhile, smoking can add up to 1.25 years and suffering from restless sleep can add 0.44 years to a person’s biological age. However, being currently married can reduce 0.59 years, according to the study. As part of the study, researchers said they came up with a new “aging clock” based on data from 4,846 Chinese adults in 2015 as part of the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study. The data included 16 blood biomarkers (生物标志物) like cholesterol and glucose levels as well as other health information like blood pressure, body mass index, lung function and so on. Researchers compared the chronological age of CHARLS participants with the ages predicted by their new “aging clock”. The results found that the new age was roughly 5.6 years older than the CHARLS participants’ actual ages. The team also found that smokers and those with a history of stroke, liver or lung disease were predicted to be older than the remaining 4,451 healthy adults. “Chronological age isn’t how old we really are,” said professor David Sinclair, co-director of the Paul Glenn Center for the Biology of Aging at Harvard Medical School. “We all age biologically at different rates according to our genes, what we eat, and how much we exercise. Biological age is what determines our health and ultimately our lifespan. Biological age is a number of candles we really should be blowing out. In the future, with advances in our ability to control biological age, we may have even fewer candles on our cake than the previous one.” 4. Which of the following has the biggest negative effect on our biological age? A. Smoking. B. Poor sleep. C. Being married. D. Feeling lonely. 5. What can we infer about the CHARLS participants? A. Most of them smoke. B. They aren’t in good health. C. They have a history of stroke D. Most of them live by themselves. 6. What was professor David Sinclair’s attitude to the future of humans’ biological age? A. Worried. B. Pessimistic. C. Confident. D. Ambiguous. 7. Which of the following is the most suitable title for the text? A. What decides a person’s chronological age B. What adds years to a person’s biological age C. Chronological age — how old are you really? D. Biological age — you may be older than you are 【答案】4. D 5. B 6. C 7. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍的是我们人类有两个年龄，而生理年龄可能会因为我们的基因、饮食、运动量以及所处的环境不同，生理年龄有可能落后于或者超过实际年龄。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“A new study from Deep Longevity, the Chinese University of Hong Kong and Stanford University found that feelings that cause poor mental health like sadness, loneliness and general unhappiness add an extra 1.65 years to a person’s biological age. Meanwhile, smoking can add up to 1.25 years and suffering from restless sleep can add 0.44 years to a person’s biological age. However, being currently married can reduce 0.59 years, according to the study.(香港中文大学和斯坦福大学的一项新研究发现，导致心理健康状况不佳的情绪，如悲伤、孤独和一般的不快乐，会使一个人的生理年龄增加1.65岁。与此同时，吸烟会使一个人的生理年龄增加1.25岁，睡眠不安稳会使一个人的生理年龄增加0.44岁。然而，根据这项研究，已婚人士可以减少0.59年的寿命)”可知，不良情绪如悲伤、孤独和一般的不快乐对我们的生理年龄的负面影响最大，故选D。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“The team also found that smokers and those with a history of stroke, liver or lung disease were predicted to be older than the remaining 4,451 healthy adults.(研究小组还发现，吸烟者和有中风、肝脏或肺部疾病病史的人预计比剩下的4451名健康成年人更老)”可知，CHARLS参与者的健康状况不好，故选B。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Biological age is a number of candles we really should be blowing out. In the future, with advances in our ability to control biological age, we may have even fewer candles on our cake than the previous one.(生理年龄是我们应该吹灭的蜡烛数量。在未来，随着我们控制生物年龄的能力的进步，我们的蛋糕上可能会有比以前更少的蜡烛)”可知，David Sinclair教授认为，在未来，随着人们对生理年龄控制能力的增加，人们的生理年龄可能会比上一年要小，由此可推断，David Sinclair教授对未来人类生理年龄的态度是乐观自信的。故选C。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据首段中的“Many lifestyle factors like diet, exercise and psychological state can impact someone’s biological age.(许多生活方式因素，如饮食、运动和心理状态都会影响一个人的生理年龄)”以及下文中对生理年龄影响的各因素分析和研究可知，本文主要介绍的内容是受各因素的影响，人类的生理年龄可能要比实际年龄大或小，结合选项可知，本文题目为“生理年龄——你可能比实际年龄更大”符合文章主题。故选D。 C A group of digital models dressed in sports outfits strutted down the runway in an online virtual fashion show during China Fashion Week in September. Led by Xijiajia, tech company Baidu Inc’s virtual spokesperson, they presented the latest clothes by homegrown sportswear maker Anta Sports in different virtual scenarios (场景)-stadiums, snowfields, the Gobi Desert and even outer space. Li Shiyan, head of Baidu’s digital human and robotics section, said that technologies, the production cost of virtual clothing has been reduced dramatically, and production periods shortened from more than one month to just a week. “The virtual human industry is still in an early stage, and there are some challenges, such as how to produce low-cost digital assets and digital content, and how to make digital humans interact with real people more naturally, “Li said. The size of China’s virtual human market is forecast to reach 270 billion yuan by 2030. According to experts, the fashion landscape is rapidly expanding its virtual horizon to prepare for a future populated by digital avatars, and the most accessible way for fashion brands to engage with virtual replicas is by dressing them in their latest collections. “Holding virtual fashion shows doesn’t just mean moving real-world shows online. More importantly, we can use digital space to expand our understanding of fashion and imagination for what is possible,“ said Chen Duan. For example, people can make use of textures that do not exist in the physical world, and digital humans are able to go beyond the biological limits of real humans and present new fashion styles in new ways. “Digital humans are increasingly being used in brand promotion, advertisement, livestreaming, gaming and entertainment,” said Zhu Xiaowen, an analyst. However, she added that a new set of problems have also emerged, such as personal privacy protection and data security. She said unregulated use of digital humans might open a way for fraud, given that digital humans can be difficult to distinguish from real people. 8. Why does the author describe a virtual fashion show in Paragraph 1? A. to stress Baidu’s technological development. B. to introduce the use of digital fashion avatars. C. to make ads for sportswear maker Anta Sports. D. to describe the work of some digital models. 9. What is one of the challenges of the virtual human industry? A. Digital humans fail to react with real people. B. The virtual human market isn’t clear. C. Producing digital contents costs more. D. Virtual beings aren’t widely accepted. 10. What does Chen Duan think of virtual fashion shows? A. They apply digital technology in daily life. B. They enrich people’s understanding of humans. C. They will replace real-world shows. D. They explore more possibilities for fashion. 11. What does Zhu Xiaowen stress about digital humans? A. the potential harm they do. B. their bright future in the fashion world. C. the need of their personal privacy. D. their betraying to real people. 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. D 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇新闻报道。文章主要报道了数字模特正走进人们的视野，也带来了一些社会问题。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段内容“A group of digital models dressed in sports outfits strutted down the runway in an online virtual fashion show during China Fashion Week in September. Led by Xijiajia, tech company Baidu Inc’s virtual spokesperson, they presented the latest clothes by homegrown sportswear maker Anta Sports in different virtual scenarios(场景)-stadiums，snowfields，the Gobi Desert and even outer space.(在9月的中国时装周上，一群身着运动服的数字模特在一场在线虚拟时装秀上昂首阔步。在百度公司旗下的虚拟代言人希加加的带领下，他们在不同的虚拟场景中——体育场、雪地、戈壁沙漠甚至外太空——展示了国产运动服装制造商安踏体育的最新服装。)”可知，作者在第一段描述了一场虚拟时装秀是为了引出本文的主题，即数字模特的使用。故选B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段““The virtual human industry is still in an early stage, and there are some challenges, such as how to produce low-cost digital assets and digital content, and how to make digital humans interact with real people more naturally, “Li said.(“虚拟人产业仍处于早期阶段，存在一些挑战，例如如何生产低成本的数字资产和数字内容，以及如何使数字人与真实的人更自然地互动，”李说。)”可知，虚拟人产业面临的一大挑战就是成本较高。故选C。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第五段““Holding virtual fashion shows doesn’t just mean moving real-world shows online. More importantly, we can use digital space to expand our understanding of fashion and imagination for what is possible,“ said Chen Duan. For example, people can make use of textures that do not exist in the physical world, and digital humans are able to go beyond the biological limits of real humans and present new fashion styles in new ways.(“举办虚拟时装秀并不仅仅意味着将现实世界的时装秀搬到网上。更重要的是，我们可以利用数字空间扩大我们对时尚的理解以及对可能性的想象。”陈端说。例如，人们可以利用真实世界中不存在的布料，数字人类可以超越真实人类的生物极限，以新的方式呈现新的时尚风格。)”可推断出，陈端认为虚拟时装秀扩大我们对时尚的理解以及对可能性的想象。故选D。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段““Digital humans are increasingly being used in brand promotion, advertisement, livestreaming, gaming and entertainment,” said Zhu Xiaowen, an analyst. However, she added that a new set of problems have also emerged, such as personal privacy protection and data security. She said unregulated use of digital humans might open a way for fraud, given that digital humans can be difficult to distinguish from real people(分析师朱晓文表示：“数字人越来越多地用于品牌推广、广告、直播、游戏和娱乐。”然而，她补充说，一系列新的问题也出现了，比如个人隐私保护和数据安全。她说，鉴于很难将数字人与真人区分开来，不受监管地使用数字人可能会为欺诈开辟道路。)”可知，朱晓文主要强调指出了数字人类的潜在危害。故选A。 D Speaking in an interview, Naveen Jain, founder of a space exploration company called Moon Express, said that he believes moon travel is just a decade away. And his company, which is the first private firm to get approval from the U.S. government to carry out the project of moon travel, wants to play a role in helping people get to the moon surface. ''I believe in the next ten years, there is going to be gentlemen on their knees asking their sweethearts, honey, will you go to the moon with me for honey moon?'' Jain said in the interview. Many people in the technology and scientific communities are crazy about space exploration. Space presents an unprecedented(史无前例的)number of chances for scientific and human advancement. Companies, big and small, are determining how they can create technologies that would allow people to explore space, the moon, and even Mars. Other companies are eyeing ways to play a role in space travel. The key of that gold rush has been the declining cost of actually getting to space. Jain said that while it once cost billions of dollars to go to the moon, his company's unmanned space flight next year will cost just 7 million. As costs continue to decline(减少),he believes that within the next decade, getting to the moon will cost just $10,000.Better yet, it'll take just four hours to get there. Still, Mars is the final prize. And even Jain, whose company will focus on moon travel, said that ''Mars is certainly the right place to be finally. '' When asked if he'd like to stage space fights to Mars, Jain said ''of course'', adding that he believes Moon Express could partner with Elon Musk's SpaceX to make that happen. ''Elon will build the rocket and we do the travelers,'' Jain said of a theoretical partnership. ''Generally, he lays the cables and we do the last mile.'' SpaceX and Musk have not said whether they would work alongside Jain and Moon Express. Either way, it looks like hopping from the moon to Mars (and back) might be just a part of our lives. 12. We can learn about moon travel from the passage that A. it will take less time and money B. it is already available for all C. few people are interested in it D. its future is not bright at all 13. What does the author mean by saying ''Mars is the final prize''? A. Mars is the final destination difficult but valuable to reach. B. Mars is the final destination expensive but easy to reach. C. Mars is the first destination to choose for space travelers. D. Mars is the last destination to choose for space travelers. 14. What can we learn from the passage? A. Moon Express is certainly an ideal partner for SpaceX. B. SpaceX hasn't decided to cooperate with Moon Express. C. Moon Express and SpaceX used to be close partners. D. SpaceX has been successful in moon travel exploration. 15. The passage above is most probably taken from the ______section of a newspaper. A. entertainment B. education C. technology D. literature 【答案】12. A 13. A 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了随着科技的发展，越来越多的公司和个人对宇宙探索感兴趣。更有人预测，在未来10年月球之旅将实现，而且花费的费用和时间都会更少。甚至去火星也可能成为现实，成为们生活的一部分。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段的As costs continue to decline(减少),he believes that within the next decade, getting to the moon will cost just $10,000.Better yet, it'll take just four hours to get there.(随着花费的不断减少，他认为在下一个10年，去月球只需要花1万美元。然而，更好的方面是，只需要4小时。)可知，随着科技的发展月球之旅花的费用和时间都会更少。A. it will take less time and money(它会用更少的时间和金钱)符合以上说法，故选A项。 【13题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第五段的Still, Mars is the final prize. And even Jain, whose company will focus on moon travel, said that ''Mars is certainly the right place to be finally. '' 可知，然而火星是最后的奖励。就连Jain，他的公司将致力于月球之旅，都说“火星肯定是最终要去的地方。”由此判断出，划线部分的意思是：上火星虽然难，但它是终极目标。如果能上，那就相当于终极大奖，值得尝试。A. Mars is the final destination difficult but valuable to reach.(火星是一个虽然难但值得的终极目的地)符合以上说法，故选A项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段的SpaceX and Musk have not said whether they would work alongside Jain and Moon Express.( SpaceX and Musk还没有说他们是否会和Jain以及他的公司Moon Express合作)可知，SpaceX and Musk还没有决定是否要和Moon Express 合作。B. SpaceX hasn't decided to cooperate with Moon Express.( SpaceX and Musk还没有决定是否要和Moon Express 合作)符合以上说法，故选B项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章的主要内容，尤其第一段的Speaking in an interview, Naveen Jain, founder of a space exploration company called Moon Express, said that he believes moon travel is just a decade away. (在一次采访中Naveen Jain，一个名叫Moon Express的宇宙探索公司的创立者，说他相信月球之旅在10内会实现。)，第三段的Many people in the technology and scientific communities are crazy about space exploration.(很多在科技领域的人和公司都痴迷于宇宙探索)和最后一段的Either way, it looks like hopping from the moon to Mars (and back) might be just a part of our lives.(无论哪种方式，似乎从月球跳跃到火星再回来可能会成为我们生活的一部分)可知，这篇文章主要讲述了随着技术的发展，越来越多的公司和个人对宇宙探索感兴趣。更有人预测，在未来10年月球之旅将实现，而且花费的费用和时间都会更少。甚至去火星也可能成为现实，成为人们生活的一部分。由此推测，这篇文章很有可能出现在报纸的科技版块。 C. technology(科技)符合语境，故选C项。 第二节 七选五(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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Winston Churchill said, “We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.” Or in the simple, beautiful words of an old Chinese proverb: “___16___If you want happiness for a day, go fishing. If you want happiness for a year, inherit a fortune. If you want happiness for a lifetime, help somebody.” ___17___A study by Professor Elizabeth Dunn of the University of British Columbia found that spending money on others promotes happiness more than spending money on oneself. In an experiment, participants were given an envelope containing either five or twenty dollars. Participants who spent the money on a gift for someone else or for a charitable donation reported greater happiness than those who spent the money on themselves. We hear throughout history, philosophy, and literature the same themes regarding giving.___18___It’s the source of true happiness, the meaning of life, the source of the greatest emotional and psychological returns. It’s the best way to recover from the worst tragedies. It’s a greater pleasure than the creation of wealth and the most direct route to happiness. ___19___What provides a feeling of security. What provides a sense of accomplishment. What gives inner peace. What brings great meaning, fulfillment, and happiness. ___20___Perhaps it is because we have not heard enough stories of how happy it can make us — stories from people we admire. I have had the privilege of meeting many of these people through my work. I’d heard their stories of how giving their time, resources, and talents to the causes they care about has brought them happiness and fulfillment far greater than they had ever imagined. A. So why don’t more of us give? B. Giving is what liberates the soul. C. Is it better to give than to receive? D. If you want happiness for an hour, take a nap. E. Modern science has proved this phenomenon. F. Giving is the most satisfying thing you’ll ever do. G. Some people are in the habit of taking instead of giving. 【答案】16. D 17. E 18. F 19. B 20. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章主要以丘吉尔的名言“我们靠所得来谋生，但我们靠付出来创造生活”为话题进行讨论，讲述了给予和付出带来的神奇力量。 【16题详解】 分析语境可知，设空句应是与后文“If you want happiness for a day, go fishing. If you want happiness for a year, inherit a fortune. If you want happiness for a lifetime, help somebody.(如果你想快乐一天，去钓鱼吧。如果你想快乐一年，继承一笔财产。如果你想要幸福一辈子，就去帮助别人。)”在句式结构和表达方面保持一致，即，构成排比句式。选项D“If you want happiness for an hour, take a nap.(如果你想要快乐一小时，那就打个盹吧。)”符合分析，且在句意表达上与后文构成了递进关系，前后衔接紧密。故选D项。 【17题详解】 分析可知，设空句为该段首句，应是中心主旨句。根据后文“A study by Professor Elizabeth Dunn of the University of British Columbia found that…(英属哥伦比亚大学伊丽莎白·邓恩教授的一项研究发现……)”，“In an experiment…(在一个实验中……)”可知，该段主要通过引用科学研究结果来论证作者在前文提出的论点，因此可推知，设空句作为中心主旨句应包含关键词“科学论证”。选项E“Modern science has proved this phenomenon.(现代科学已经证明了这一现象。)”概括了该段主旨，包含关键词“Modern science(现代科学)”，同时句中“this phenomenon(这一现象)”呼应前一段内容。故选E项。 【18题详解】 根据前文“We hear throughout history, philosophy, and literature the same themes regarding giving.(纵观历史、哲学和文学，我们听到的都是关于给予的相同主题。)”可知，该段的核心是“giving(给予)”，由此可知，设空句应继续讲述该核心，且结合后文“It’s the source of true happiness, the meaning of life, the source of the greatest emotional and psychological returns.(它是真正幸福的源泉，是生命的意义，是最大的情感和心理回报的源泉。)”可知，讲述的应是“给予”的积极方面。选项F“Giving is the most satisfying thing you’ll ever do.(给予是你做过的最令人满意的事情。)”讲述了“给予”的积极方面，且其主语“Giving”与后文的主语“It”是呼应的，用在文中，前后衔接紧密。故选F项。 【19题详解】 分析后文“What provides a feeling of security. What provides a sense of accomplishment. What gives inner peace. What brings great meaning, fulfillment, and happiness.(给予能给人安全感。能带来成就感。能让你内心平静。能带来伟大的意义、满足和幸福。)”可知，该段继续讲述“给予”的神奇之处，且结合后文语法结构可知，后文应是句式结构一致的并列从句，由此可推知，设空句作为首句应是完整的句子结构，且从句结构与后文保持一致，即，“what+谓语动词+宾语”。选项B“Giving is what liberates the soul.(给予是灵魂的解放。)”在句式结构方面符合分析，在句意方面贴合该段主题“给予的神奇之处”。故选B项。 【20题详解】 根据后文“Perhaps it is because we have not heard enough stories of how happy it can make us — stories from people we admire.(也许是因为我们没有听过足够多的故事，这些故事都是我们钦佩的人讲的。)”为“because”原因句可推知，设空句应是“why”引导的特殊疑问句。选项A“So why don’t more of us give?(那么，我们为什么不更多地给予呢?)”符合分析。故选A项。 第三部分 语言知识运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节 完形填空(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Every year, Dale Marks puts up a massive Christmas lights display at his home in Des Moines.

Every day, their teachers gave them loads of homework and told them the test was very important and that they ought to spare no effort to perform well in it. Everyone followed the teachers’ instructions and made preparations for it, except Marc. He just turned a deaf ear to it. He thought he would rather play football than study. His mum and dad repeated the importance of revision for exams over and over again. They told him that he should be working hard preparing for the test. But the weather was sunny and he thought he had better things to do. “Shall we go to the park?” he said to his friend Huck one afternoon. “It’s a nice day. We could play football and kick around.” Huck shook his head. “I’m supposed to review my lessons” he said. “I’m going home to do some math.” Marc was amazed. “You’d rather do math than play football?” “Math is important. Besides, my mum says she will buy me a mountain bike if I do well in the math exam.” “That’s crazy,” said Marc. Huck shrugged (耸肩) and replied, “Wait until I beat you in the test and you will watch me riding past on my mountain bike!” “You won’t beat me,” said Marc. “Oh yes, I will.” “Oh no, you won’t! That will never happen. Just wait and see!” For the first time ever, Marc wanted to perform well. He couldn’t bear it if his friend came top and he did badly. So when he got home, he opened his math book. But there was so much to do. All of a sudden, he felt like he’d forgotten everything he had learned that year! He didn’t know where to start. When his sister Lily came in, he was sitting expressionlessly by the desk, just staring out of the window. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右; 2. 请按如下格式作答。 “You don’t look happy, Marc. What’s wrong?” she said. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On the day of the exam, Marc went to school with great confidence. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】“You don’t look happy, Marc. What’s wrong?” she said. Explaining what had happened, especially the bet between him and Huck, he told Lily his decision. He wanted to make careful preparations for the exam, but ran into difficulties with math. He was at a loss what to do next. “Don’t worry! I’ll help you. Just be confident!” replied Lily. The following days, Marc worked very hard and made great progress. Gradually, his confidence grew and he could solve math problems with ease, with the instructions appearing in his brain as if the teacher was standing at his side . On the day of the exam, Marc went to school with great confidence. He met Huck in the classroom, who looked delighted as if he was bound to win. But Marc didn’t care. When the exam began, Marc answered all the questions as best as he could. Several days later, the result came out. It turned out that Marc did much better than Huck. “Well done,” said Mom. “We could go to see a movie to celebrate, and you can choose one.” “I think Lily should choose,” said Marc. “I would never have gained such a great achievement without her help and encouragement .” 【解析】 【导语】文章以考试为线索。马上要考试了，同学们都积极努力地备考，除了贪玩的Marc。一天下午，Marc邀请好友Huck去踢足球，Huck拒绝了，他要认真学习，考出好成绩，这样妈妈会送给他一辆山地自行车。而且Huck还说自己一定会比Marc考得好。这让Marc备受刺激，他决心认真准备考试，但他感觉到很困难。于是在姐姐的帮助下，Marc积极准备考试，考出了好成绩。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“她说：‘Marc，你看起来不开心。怎么了?’”可知，本段可以写Marc会告诉姐姐Lily发生了什么事，以及自己遇到的困难，姐姐在得知Marc的困难之后应该会施以援手，帮助Marc复习功课，准备考试。在姐姐的帮助和自己的努力下，Mare在数学上应是有了很大的进步。 ②由第二段首句内容“考试那天，Marc自信满满地去了学校。”可知，本段可以写考试前、考试中以及考试后发生的事情。比如考试前Marc和Huck各自的状态，考试期间Marc的表现，以及考试成绩出来后，Marc取得了非常优异的成绩和Huck或Marc家人对此的反应等。 2.续写线索：Lily询问Marc→Marc讲述了自己遇到的困难→Lily帮助Marc复习→Marc成功地通过考试，且比Huck考得高→妈妈想要奖励Marc→Marc觉得奖励应该给Lily。 3.词汇激活： 行为类： 选择：choose/make a choice/make an option 增加了信心：grow confidence/build up confidence/double confidence 解决：solve/work out/tackle 情绪类： 充满信心：be confident/be full of confidence 高兴的：delighted/pleased/cheerful/be overcome with delight 感到困惑：be at a loss/be confused/be confounded 【点睛】【高分句型1】 Explaining what had happened, especially the bet between him and Huck, he told Lily his decision.(运用了现在分词作状语。) 【高分句型2】 He met Huck in the classroom, who looked delighted as if he was bound to win.(运用了who引导定语从句。) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 天水市二中2025届高三月考试卷 英 语 (考试时间：120分钟 试卷满分：150分) 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.

There is chronological age (实际年龄), which measures how much time a person has spent on Earth, and then there is biological age, referring to how old a person seems. Many lifestyle factors like diet, exercise and psychological state can impact someone’s biological age. A new study from Deep Longevity, the Chinese University of Hong Kong and Stanford University found that feelings that cause poor mental health like sadness, loneliness and general unhappiness add an extra 1.65 years to a person’s biological age. Meanwhile, smoking can add up to 1.25 years and suffering from restless sleep can add 0.44 years to a person’s biological age. However, being currently married can reduce 0.59 years, according to the study. As part of the study, researchers said they came up with a new “aging clock” based on data from 4,846 Chinese adults in 2015 as part of the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study. The data included 16 blood biomarkers (生物标志物) like cholesterol and glucose levels as well as other health information like blood pressure, body mass index, lung function and so on. Researchers compared the chronological age of CHARLS participants with the ages predicted by their new “aging clock”. The results found that the new age was roughly 5.6 years older than the CHARLS participants’ actual ages. The team also found that smokers and those with a history of stroke, liver or lung disease were predicted to be older than the remaining 4,451 healthy adults. “Chronological age isn’t how old we really are,” said professor David Sinclair, co-director of the Paul Glenn Center for the Biology of Aging at Harvard Medical School. “We all age biologically at different rates according to our genes, what we eat, and how much we exercise. Biological age is what determines our health and ultimately our lifespan. Biological age is a number of candles we really should be blowing out. In the future, with advances in our ability to control biological age, we may have even fewer candles on our cake than the previous one.” 4. Which of the following has the biggest negative effect on our biological age? A. Smoking. B. Poor sleep. C. Being married. D. Feeling lonely. 5. What can we infer about the CHARLS participants? A. Most of them smoke. B. They aren’t in good health. C. They have a history of stroke D. Most of them live by themselves. 6. What was professor David Sinclair’s attitude to the future of humans’ biological age? A. Worried. B. Pessimistic. C. Confident. D. Ambiguous. 7. Which of the following is the most suitable title for the text? A. What decides a person’s chronological age B. What adds years to a person’s biological age C. Chronological age — how old are you really? D. Biological age — you may be older than you are C A group of digital models dressed in sports outfits strutted down the runway in an online virtual fashion show during China Fashion Week in September. Led by Xijiajia, tech company Baidu Inc’s virtual spokesperson, they presented the latest clothes by homegrown sportswear maker Anta Sports in different virtual scenarios (场景)-stadiums, snowfields, the Gobi Desert and even outer space. Li Shiyan, head of Baidu’s digital human and robotics section, said that technologies, the production cost of virtual clothing has been reduced dramatically, and production periods shortened from more than one month to just a week. “The virtual human industry is still in an early stage, and there are some challenges, such as how to produce low-cost digital assets and digital content, and how to make digital humans interact with real people more naturally, “Li said. The size of China’s virtual human market is forecast to reach 270 billion yuan by 2030. According to experts, the fashion landscape is rapidly expanding its virtual horizon to prepare for a future populated by digital avatars, and the most accessible way for fashion brands to engage with virtual replicas is by dressing them in their latest collections. “Holding virtual fashion shows doesn’t just mean moving real-world shows online. More importantly, we can use digital space to expand our understanding of fashion and imagination for what is possible,“ said Chen Duan. For example, people can make use of textures that do not exist in the physical world, and digital humans are able to go beyond the biological limits of real humans and present new fashion styles in new ways. “Digital humans are increasingly being used in brand promotion, advertisement, livestreaming, gaming and entertainment,” said Zhu Xiaowen, an analyst. However, she added that a new set of problems have also emerged, such as personal privacy protection and data security.

D Speaking in an interview, Naveen Jain, founder of a space exploration company called Moon Express, said that he believes moon travel is just a decade away. And his company, which is the first private firm to get approval from the U.S. government to carry out the project of moon travel, wants to play a role in helping people get to the moon surface. ''I believe in the next ten years, there is going to be gentlemen on their knees asking their sweethearts, honey, will you go to the moon with me for honey moon?'' Jain said in the interview. Many people in the technology and scientific communities are crazy about space exploration. Space presents an unprecedented(史无前例的)number of chances for scientific and human advancement. Companies, big and small, are determining how they can create technologies that would allow people to explore space, the moon, and even Mars. Other companies are eyeing ways to play a role in space travel. The key of that gold rush has been the declining cost of actually getting to space. Jain said that while it once cost billions of dollars to go to the moon, his company's unmanned space flight next year will cost just 7 million. As costs continue to decline(减少),he believes that within the next decade, getting to the moon will cost just $10,000.Better yet, it'll take just four hours to get there. Still, Mars is the final prize. And even Jain, whose company will focus on moon travel, said that ''Mars is certainly the right place to be finally. '' When asked if he'd like to stage space fights to Mars, Jain said ''of course'', adding that he believes Moon Express could partner with Elon Musk's SpaceX to make that happen. ''Elon will build the rocket and we do the travelers,'' Jain said of a theoretical partnership. ''Generally, he lays the cables and we do the last mile.'' SpaceX and Musk have not said whether they would work alongside Jain and Moon Express. Either way, it looks like hopping from the moon to Mars (and back) might be just a part of our lives. 12. We can learn about moon travel from the passage that A. it will take less time and money B. it is already available for all C. few people are interested in it D. its future is not bright at all 13. What does the author mean by saying ''Mars is the final prize''? A. Mars is the final destination difficult but valuable to reach. B. Mars is the final destination expensive but easy to reach. C. Mars is the first destination to choose for space travelers. D. Mars is the last destination to choose for space travelers. 14 What can we learn from the passage? A. Moon Express is certainly an ideal partner for SpaceX. B. SpaceX hasn't decided to cooperate with Moon Express. C. Moon Express and SpaceX used to be close partners. D. SpaceX has been successful in moon travel exploration. 15. The passage above is most probably taken from the ______section of a newspaper. A. entertainment B. education C. technology D. literature 第二节 七选五(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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Winston Churchill said, “We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.” Or in the simple, beautiful words of an old Chinese proverb: “___16___If you want happiness for a day, go fishing.

Every day, their teachers gave them loads of homework and told them the test was very important and that they ought to spare no effort to perform well in it. Everyone followed the teachers’ instructions and made preparations for it, except Marc. He just turned a deaf ear to it. He thought he would rather play football than study. His mum and dad repeated the importance of revision for exams over and over again. They told him that he should be working hard preparing for the test. But the weather was sunny and he thought he had better things to do. “Shall we go to the park?” he said to his friend Huck one afternoon. “It’s a nice day. We could play football and kick around.” Huck shook his head. “I’m supposed to review my lessons,” he said. “I’m going home to do some math.” Marc was amazed. “You’d rather do math than play football?” “Math is important. Besides, my mum says she will buy me a mountain bike if I do well in the math exam.” “That’s crazy,” said Marc. Huck shrugged (耸肩) and replied, “Wait until I beat you in the test and you will watch me riding past on my mountain bike!” “You won’t beat me,” said Marc. “Oh yes, I will.” “Oh no, you won’t! That will never happen. Just wait and see!” For the first time ever, Marc wanted to perform well. He couldn’t bear it if his friend came top and he did badly. So when he got home, he opened his math book. But there was so much to do. All of a sudden, he felt like he’d forgotten everything he had learned that year! He didn’t know where to start. When his sister Lily came in, he was sitting expressionlessly by the desk, just staring out of the window. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右; 2. 请按如下格式作答。 “You don’t look happy, Marc. What’s wrong?” she said. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On the day of the exam, Marc went to school with great confidence. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
