Dais g is a four - year - old Labrador Retriever who loves going on walks with her owner, Kelly Mason, at Grand Vue Park: Every day, they walk about five miles through the park. Sometimes, Daisy goes on her own adventure and returns with a souvenir. “Daisy has a nose to finding discs”. Mason told VTRF. “We will be walking through the park and her most will go up. She can smell them, and she just goes off. She could go off 30 yards through the high weeds. And here she comes with a disc.” Since she found her first disc about three years ago, Daisy has got back 155 of them with no plans of stopping anytime soon. The park recently teamed up with Mason to create a program called Daisy’s Discs. “Normally when park staff find them or when our park guests find them, all of them are put into the barn (仓库) area,” says Ben Bolock, the assistant general manager at Grand Vue Park. “Some discs that have names on them, so we call them. And people are able to come and pick them up. They can also make a donation to Daisy’s Discs and that money will fund the Marshall County Animal Rescue League. If discs are found and there’s no name on them and we’ve had them for a long period of time and nobody has claimed them, the park will sell them for a very low amount and that money will go back into the disc golf course.” 4. What do we know about Daisy from the text? A. She has a talent for finding lost items B. She played disc golf discs with people. C. She has won a prize for her contribution. D.

Mason told VTRF. “We will be walking through the park and her most will go up. She can smell them, and she just goes off. She could go off 30 yards through the high weeds And here she comes with a disc.”(“Daisy有一个寻找球盘的鼻子。”Mason告诉VTRF。“我们在公园里散步时，她的鼻子会翘起来。她能闻到它们，然后就跑开了。她可能会穿过高高的杂草跑上30码，然后带着一个球盘回来。”)”可知，Daisy在寻找丢失物品方面有着特殊的才能。故选A。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Some discs that have names on them, so we call them.

Tho Pew Research Center conducted a survey to celebrate: the Web’s 25th birthday. The researchers were greatly heartened (振奋) by what they found. “In 2006 only 14 percent of American adults used Internet. Today it’s 87 percent,” said Lee Rainie, the director of the Pew Research Center’s Internet Project. “It is what has impressed us the most.” The survey also showed that 70 percent of the Internet users have been treated kindly or generously online, white 25 percent of respondents said they have been treated, unkindly. More than half - 56 percent of users said they’ve seen an online community come together to help someone solve a problem. 25 percent said they’ve left an online group because members were too unpleasant. When Pew asked questions about whether being online has enriched people’s relationships — or not — the results were very positive: 67 percent of Internet users said, their online communication with family. and friends has generally strengthened those relationships. Only 18 percent said, it has generally weakened those relationships. According to the survey, 53 percent of Internet users said Internet has become the hardest tech tool to give up. It is 15 percent higher than the result of a similar survey conducted in 2006. In fact, more people said they would have a harder time stopping using Internet than giving up TV. (These days; so much great television streams across the Internet that it makes sense. ) “In our survey, we have found that the Web makes a few people very unhappy. There’s strong evidence pointing to the fact that Internet users tend to compare their daily lives with the highlight moments of their friends’ lives,” said Lee Rainie. “It’s really silly.” 8. Why is Tim Berners - Lee’s quote mentioned? A. To introduce the father of all the technology area. B. To prove the reality is opposite to his hope. C. To emphasize the barriers about the Net remain to be solved. D. To show the significance of the Net. 9. What impressed the researchers most? A. Severe addiction to the Internet. B.

A 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要围绕“互联网在我们生活中的重要性”这一主题展开，通过引用Tim Berners-Lee的话作为引言，然后详细描述了Pew Research Center进行的一项关于互联网使用的调查，包括互联网使用的普及率、互联网对人际关系的影响、互联网作为难以放弃的科技工具等方面。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Tim Berners - Lee the father of the World Wide Web, once said, “I hope we will use the Net to cross barriers and connect cultures.” Nowadays, how important have Internet become in our lives on earth? Tho Pew Research Center conducted a survey to celebrate: the Web’s 25th birthday. The researchers were greatly heartened (振奋) by what they found.(万维网之父Tim Berners - Lee曾经说过：“我希望我们将利用网络跨越障碍，连接文化。”如今，互联网在我们的生活中有多重要？皮尤研究中心进行了一项调查来庆祝：网络的25岁生日。研究人员对他们的发现感到非常振奋。)”可知，文章中首段引用了Tim Berners-Lee的话，然后文章开始讨论互联网在现代社会中的重要性，以及Pew Research Center进行的一项关于互联网使用的调查。因此，引用Tim Berners-Lee的话是为了强调互联网的重要性。故选D。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段““In 2006 only 14 percent of American adults used Internet. Today, it’s 87 percent,” said Lee Rainie, the director of the Pew Research Center’s Internet Project. “It is what has impressed us, the most.”(2006年，只有14%的美国成年人使用互联网。今天，这个数字是87%，”皮尤研究中心互联网项目主任Lee Rainie说。“这是给我们印象最深的。”)”可知，最让研究人员印象深刻的是互联网用户数量的不断增长。故选C。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段““In 2006 only 14 percent of American adults used Internet. Today, it’s 87 percent,” said Lee Rainie, the director of the Pew Research Center’s Internet Project. “It is what has impressed us, the most.”(2006年，只有14%的美国成年人使用互联网。今天，这个数字是87%，”皮尤研究中心互联网项目主任Lee Rainie说。“这是给我们印象最深的。”)”、第三段“The survey also showed that 70 percent of the Internet users have been treated kindly or generously online, white 25 percent of respondents said they have been treated, unkindly. More than half - 56 percent of users said they’ve seen an online community come together to help someone solve a problem.25 percent said they’ve left an online group because members were too unpleasant（调查还显示，70%的网民在网上受到过友好或慷慨的对待，而25%的受访者表示他们受到过不友好的对待。超过一半(56%)的用户表示，他们看到过一个在线社区聚集在一起帮助别人解决问题。25%的人说他们离开了一个网络群，因为成员们太不愉快了。）”可知，文章在描述调查结果时，多次使用了具体的数据来支持其观点。这些数据使得调查结果更加具有说服力和可信度。因此，该调查主要是通过列举数据来说服读者的。故选A。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段““In our survey, we have found that the Web makes a few people very unhappy. There’s strong evidence pointing to the fact that Internet users tend to compare their daily lives with the highlight moments of their friends’ lives,” said Lee Rainie. “It’s really silly.”(“在我们的调查中，我们发现网络让一些人非常不开心。有强有力的证据表明，互联网用户倾向于将自己的日常生活与朋友生活中的精彩时刻进行比较。”“这真的很愚蠢。”)”可以推断出，Lee Rainie可能同意我们应该以平常心对待他人生活中的精彩瞬间，而不是过度比较或羡慕。故选B。 D A Japanese company tried to land the first M1 private space vehicle on the Moon. However, on 25 April, 2023, the M1 spacecraft became the latest in a long line of Moon missions that didn’t quite make it. Until now, only three government - funded space agencies have soft - landed on the Moon and only China is successful in its first attempt. Why is it so hard to touch down safely on the Moon? Getting a mission to the Moon, around 384,000 kilometres from the Earth, is much more intricate than sending a satellite into low - Earth orbit — and failures can occur early on, even for missions that don’t plan to land. This happened with NASA’s Lunar Flashlight mission, a small spacecraft that was launched in December, 2022 and was supposed to map the Moon’s ice. Its engines stopped working soon after launch. Even if a lander makes it to the neighborhood of the Moon, it still has to find its way down to the surface with no global - positioning satellites for guidance and virtually no atmosphere to help to slow it down. Once it gets within the critical (关键的) last few kilometres, its software has to deal quickly and autonomously with any last - minute challenges, such as its sensors potentially becoming confused by large amounts of dust kicked up by the engines. To pull off a successful landing in such a challenging environment, the government- funded space agencies have spent huge amount of money on repeated tests and have learned a lot from each failed and successful attempt. “In the 1960s, when the United States and the Soviet Union were racing to land there, they crashed spacecraft after spacecraft before each finally succeeded in 1966,” says Stephen Indyk, director of space systems at Honeybee Robotics in Greenbelt, Maryland. “Without lessons learned from the setbacks (挫折) and successes, it’s a lot to ask of a private company to get it right in the first attempt.” 12. What can be learned about M1 spacecraft? A. It became the latest unsuccessful Mars mission. B. It was launched by an American private company. C. It was the company’s first public- funded space vehicle. D. It failed to soft- land on the surface of the Moon. 13. Which of the following can best replace the underlined word “intricate” in Paragraph 3? A. Simple B. Demanding. C. Inflexible. D. Unfortunate. 14. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about? A. The reasons to land on the Moon. B. The necessity of teamwork. C. The landing challenges. D. The costs of space exploration. 15. In which part of a magazine can we read this passage? A. Technology. B. Environment C. Culture. D. Economy. 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要解释了月球与地球的距离、月球的环境特点、以及历史上政府资助的太空机构在月球着陆方面的经验和教训，说明了月球着陆的复杂性和挑战性。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“A Japanese company tried to land the first M1 private space vehicle on the Moon. However, on 25 April, 2023, the M1 spacecraft became the latest in a long line of Moon missions that didn’t quite make it.(一家日本公司试图将首个MI私人太空飞行器降落在月球上。然而，在2023年4月25日，M1太空飞行器成为了众多未能成功完成的月球任务中的最新一个。)”可知，MI太空飞行器未能成功在月球表面软着陆。故选D。 【13题详解】 词义猜测题。根据划线单词下文“failures can occur early on , even for missions that don’t plan to land.(而且即使是不打算着陆的任务，也可能在早期就出现失败)”可推测，执行登月任务比将卫星送入近地轨道要复杂、要求高。选项A“Simple (简单的)”；选项B“Demanding (要求高的)”；选项C“Inflexible (不灵活的)”；选项D“Unfortunate (不幸的)”。故选B。 【14题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第四段“Even if a lander makes it to the neighborhood of the Moon, it still has to find its way down to the surface with no global - positioning satellites for guidance and virtually no atmosphere to help to slow it down. Once it gets within the critical（关键的）last few kilometres, its software has to deal quickly and autonomously with any last - minute challenges, such as its sensors potentially becoming confused by large amounts of dust kicked up by the engines.(即使着陆器到达了月球附近，它仍然需要在没有全球定位卫星引导和几乎没有大气层帮助减速的情况下找到降落到月球表面的路。一旦进入关键的最后几公里，它的软件必须迅速自主地处理任何最后一分钟的挑战，比如它的传感器可能会被引擎扬起的大量灰尘弄糊涂。)”可知，本段主要讲述了在如此具有挑战性的环境中成功着陆需要面对的挑战。故选C。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章内容可知，这篇文章主要讨论了日本公司尝试将首个私人太空飞行器M1降落在月球上但未能成功的情况，以及月球着陆的复杂性和挑战性。文章涉及了太空技术、太空任务和太空探索等方面的内容，这些都是与科技紧密相关的。因此，这篇文章最有可能出现在杂志的“Technology(科技)”部分。故选A。 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。 Money habits are the small daily decisions we make that influence how we spend and save our money.

D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要围绕“金钱习惯”这一主题展开，解释了金钱习惯的定义、挑战，并给出了几个具体的步骤和建议来帮助读者改善金钱习惯。 【16题详解】 根据空前“Money habits are the small daily decisions we make that influence how we spend and save our money. It might be challenging to change these habits.(金钱习惯是我们每天做出的影响我们如何花钱和存钱的小决定。改变这些习惯可能具有挑战性。)”可知，改变金钱习惯有一定挑战性，结合下文给出的一些建议可知，空处应提出有办法改进我们的“金钱习惯”。选项F“But with the following tips, we can make improvements to achieve our financial objectives.(但通过以下建议，我们可以做出改进，实现我们的财务目标。)”承上启下，提出下文的具体建议。故选F。 【17题详解】 根据空前“Taking a careful look at your existing spending habits is the first step.(仔细审视你现有的消费习惯是第一步。)”可知，本段讲述的是要审视现有的消费习惯。选项E“This includes recording all your spending for a month and then analyzing the data.(这包括记录你一个月的所有支出，然后分析数据。)”延续上文的内容，指出如何仔细审视现有的消费习惯。故选E。 【18题详解】 空处为段首句。为本段主要内容。根据下文内容“A budget (预算) ensures that your spending is focused on your urgencies and that you set aside enough cash to achieve your goals.

Throughout her school years, she struggled with public speaking, often feeling her heart race and her palms sweat at the mere thought of standing in front of a crowd. This fear held her back in many ways, making her pass up opportunities that came her way, from leading class projects to participating in school debates. Her classmates saw her as the quiet girl in the back row, the one who always had her nose in a book, but seldom raised her hand to answer questions. During her final year of high school, Mia’s English teacher, Mr. Thompson, announced the annual speech competition. The theme was “Overcoming Challenges,” and it was a significant part of the grade. Mia felt a familiar wave of anxiety wash over her. However, this time, something within her stirred. She was tired of letting her fears define her experiences and limit her growth. It was a spark that inspired her determination to change her life. With a newfound determination, Mia decided to face her fear head - on. She chose a topic close to her heart: “The Power of Stepping Out of Your Comfort Zone.” She researched extensively, wrote and rewrote her speech multiple times, and practiced in front of her mirror, then her family and gradually, a small group of friends. Each step was a challenge, pushing her beyond the familiar boundaries (界限) of her comfort zone. The day of the competition arrived, and as Mia waited for her turn, she could feel the familiar symptoms of her anxiety creeping in. But she reminded herself of the journey she had gone through, the effort she had put in and the support she had received. She realized that regardless of the outcome, she had already overcome the biggest challenge by facing her fear directly. This realization brought a sense of calm over her and a quiet confidence. 注意：1.写作词数应为120左右; 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Mia stepped onto the stage. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ What happened next was unforgettable for Mia. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 Mia stepped onto the stage.

She had done it! She had faced her fear and delivered a powerful message to herself and others. What happened next was unforgettable for Mia. The judges deliberated for a few moments before announcing the winners. When they called out Mia’s name as the first- place winner, she could hardly believe her ears. The applause from the audience was deafening, and her classmates rushed to congratulate her. Mr. Thompson beamed with pride, knowing that he had witnessed a true transformation in one of his students. For Mia, this moment marked not only a victory in a speech competition but also a turn ing point in her life. She had learned that stepping out of her comfort zone could lead to incredible growth and opportunities. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了米娅一直是一个害羞、矜持的女孩，她在公共演讲方面一直很吃力，这种恐惧在很多方面阻碍了她，让她错过了很多机会。在米娅高中的最后一年，她的英语老师汤普森先生宣布了一年一度的演讲比赛。在老师的鼓励下，米娅完成了公众演讲，得到了成长和机会。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“米娅走上舞台”可知，第一段可描写米娅演讲的具体过程和完成演讲的感受。 ②由第二段首句内容“接下来发生的事情让米娅难以忘怀”可知，第二段可描写米娅赢得比赛，得到了同学的祝贺，米娅自己也得到了成长和机会。 2.续写线索：走上舞台——开始演讲——完成演讲——取得胜利——得到认可——米娅感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①结束：reach the end of/finish ②开始：begin/start ③仔细考虑：deliberate/think over 情绪类 ①恐惧：fear/dread ②惊人的：incredible/amazing 【点睛】[高分句型1] As Mia reached the end of her speech, she felt a sense of pride and accomplishment wash over her.

B A local dog in Moundsville, West Virginia, has captured the admiration of the community by finding over 150 lost disc golf discs (高尔夫球盘) at a popular park. Dais g is a four - year - old Labrador Retriever who loves going on walks with her owner Kelly Mason, at Grand Vue Park: Every day, they walk about five miles through the park. Sometimes, Daisy goes on her own adventure and returns with a souvenir. “Daisy has a nose to finding discs”. Mason told VTRF. “We will be walking through the park and her most will go up. She can smell them, and she just goes off. She could go off 30 yards through the high weeds. And here she comes with a disc.” Since she found her first disc about three years ago, Daisy has got back 155 of them with no plans of stopping anytime soon. The park recently teamed up with Mason to create a program called Daisy’s Discs. “Normally when park staff find them or when our park guests find them, all of them are put into the barn (仓库) area,” says Ben Bolock, the assistant general manager at Grand Vue Park. “Some discs that have names on them, so we call them. And people are able to come and pick them up. They can also make a donation to Daisy’s Discs and that money will fund the Marshall County Animal Rescue League. If discs are found and there’s no name on them and we’ve had them for a long period of time and nobody has claimed them, the park will sell them for a very low amount and that money will go back into the disc golf course.” 4. What do we know about Daisy from the text? A. She has a talent for finding lost items B. She played disc golf discs with people. C She has won a prize for her contribution. D. She no longer goes on personal adventures. 5. What happens to the lost discs found in the nark? A. They are on show at the park store. B. They are all donated to local dog shelters. C.

Which of the following would be the best title for the text? A. A Dog’s Good Habits B. Lost Discs Recycled C. Daisy’s Dangerous Adventures D. Daisy’s Contribution C Tim Berners-Lee the father of the World Wide Web, once said, “I hope we will use the Net to cross barriers and connect cultures.” Nowadays, how important have Internet become in our lives on earth? Tho Pew Research Center conducted a survey to celebrate: the Web’s 25th birthday. The researchers were greatly heartened (振奋) by what they found. “In 2006 only 14 percent of American adults used Internet. Today, it’s 87 percent,” said Lee Rainie, the director of the Pew Research Center’s Internet Project. “It is what has impressed us the most.” The survey also showed that 70 percent of the Internet users have been treated kindly or generously online, white 25 percent of respondents said they have been treated, unkindly. More than half - 56 percent of users said they’ve seen an online community come together to help someone solve a problem. 25 percent said they’ve left an online group because members were too unpleasant. When Pew asked questions about whether being online has enriched people’s relationships — or not — the results were very positive: 67 percent of Internet users said, their online communication with family. and friends has generally strengthened those relationships. Only 18 percent said, it has generally weakened those relationships. According to the survey, 53 percent of Internet users said Internet has become the hardest tech tool to give up. It is 15 percent higher than the result of a similar survey conducted in 2006. In fact, more people said they would have a harder time stopping using Internet than giving up TV. (These days; so much great television streams across the Internet that it makes sense. ) “In our survey, we have found that the Web makes a few people very unhappy. There’s strong evidence pointing to the fact that Internet users tend to compare their daily lives with the highlight moments of their friends’ lives,” said Lee Rainie. “It’s really silly.” 8. Why is Tim Berners - Lee’s quote mentioned? A. To introduce the father of all the technology area. B. To prove the reality is opposite to his hope. C To emphasize the barriers about the Net remain to be solved. D. To show the significance of the Net. 9. What impressed the researchers most? A. Severe addiction to the Internet. B. Kind and generous communities. C. A growing number of Internet users. D. The improved family relationships 10. The survey, is, persuasive mainly by ______. A. listing data B. telling stories C. analyzing reasons D. stating the arguments 11. According the last paragraph, what might Lee Rainie agree with? A. It’s harder to give up TV than Internet. B. It’s advised to treat others’ highlight moments with an ordinary mind. C. To satisfy all users is the goal of the Web. D. Posting daily highlights online should not be allowed. D A Japanese company tried to land the first M1 private space vehicle on the Moon. However, on 25 April, 2023, the M1 spacecraft became the latest in a long line of Moon missions that didn’t quite make it. Until now, only three government - funded space agencies have soft - landed on the Moon and only China is successful in its first attempt. Why is it so hard to touch down safely on the Moon? Getting a mission to the Moon, around 384,000 kilometres from the Earth, is much more intricate than sending a satellite into low - Earth orbit — and failures can occur early on, even for missions that don’t plan to land. This happened with NASA’s Lunar Flashlight mission, a small spacecraft that was launched in December, 2022 and was supposed to map the Moon’s ice. Its engines stopped working soon after launch. Even if a lander makes it to the neighborhood of the Moon, it still has to find its way down to the surface with no global - positioning satellites for guidance and virtually no atmosphere to help to slow it down. Once it gets within the critical (关键的) last few kilometres, its software has to deal quickly and autonomously with any last - minute challenges, such as its sensors potentially becoming confused by large amounts of dust kicked up by the engines. To pull off a successful landing in such a challenging environment, the government- funded space agencies have spent huge amount of money on repeated tests and have learned a lot from each failed and successful attempt. “In the 1960s, when the United States and the Soviet Union were racing to land there, they crashed spacecraft after spacecraft before each finally succeeded in 1966,” says Stephen Indyk, director of space systems at Honeybee Robotics in Greenbelt, Maryland. “Without lessons learned from the setbacks (挫折) and successes, it’s a lot to ask of a private company to get it right in the first attempt.” 12. What can be learned about M1 spacecraft? A. It became the latest unsuccessful Mars mission. B. It was launched by an American private company. C.

Throughout her school years, she struggled with public speaking, often feeling her heart race and her palms sweat at the mere thought of standing in front of a crowd. This fear held her back in many ways, making her pass up opportunities that came her way, from leading class projects to participating in school debates. Her classmates saw her as the quiet girl in the back row, the one who always had her nose in a book, but seldom raised her hand to answer questions. During her final year of high school, Mia’s English teacher, Mr. Thompson, announced the annual speech competition. The theme was “Overcoming Challenges,” and it was a significant part of the grade. Mia felt a familiar wave of anxiety wash over her. However, this time, something within her stirred. She was tired of letting her fears define her experiences and limit her growth. It was a spark that inspired her determination to change her life. With a newfound determination, Mia decided to face her fear head - on. She chose a topic close to her heart: “The Power of Stepping Out of Your Comfort Zone.” She researched extensively, wrote and rewrote her speech multiple times, and practiced in front of her mirror, then her family and gradually, a small group of friends. Each step was a challenge, pushing her beyond the familiar boundaries (界限) of her comfort zone. The day of the competition arrived, and as Mia waited for her turn, she could feel the familiar symptoms of her anxiety creeping in. But she reminded herself of the journey she had gone through, the effort she had put in and the support she had received. She realized that regardless of the outcome, she had already overcome the biggest challenge by facing her fear directly. This realization brought a sense of calm over her and a quiet confidence. 注意：1.写作词数应为120左右; 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Mia stepped onto the stage. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ What happened next was unforgettable for Mia. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力答案1-5: CABCA 6-10: BCACC 11-15: ABAAB 16-20: ACBCB 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
