Choosing new books can be a fun adventure. Exchanging old ones can freshen up the supply and help keep your child interested in reading. The good news is that you can do it for free. Here are some places where you can find free hard copies for them. Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library The country singer started Imagination Library, a program that mails free books each month to kids aged 0 — 5. It was launched in 1995 and now mails kids more than 1 million free books each month. If the program isn’t in your community, you can apply to start a local chapter. Freecycle and Craigslist Everything offered on Freecycle is free — all you have to do is pick it up. With more than 9 million members, chances are that there’s a Freecycle group near you. Search the offers for kids’ books or you can post a wanted ad. You can also search the “Free Stuff” section on Craigslist to find people who are giving away books and learning games. Book Exchanges and Book Banks Search online to see if your community has a book exchange or a book bank. Book exchanges encourage visitors to trade in books. Book banks simply give books away. Some book banks partner with schools and community groups to distribute free books to kids. But some are open to the public. Little Free Libraries Little free libraries are free book-sharing boxes, where anyone can take or share a book. So far, volunteers have placed more than 90,000 book-sharing boxes near sidewalks and other places people tend to walk by. The goal is to provide 24/7 access to free books. 21. What does the text say about Imagination Library? A. It’s a creation of a musician. B. It’s intended for people of all ages. C. It mails over 100 million books yearly. D. It covers most of the countries’ communities. 22. Which place should people visit if they want to share a book at anytime? A. Freecycle. B. Craigslist. C. A book bank. D. A little free library. 23. What does the text mainly introduce? A. What books benefit your child most. B. How to interest your child in reading. C. Where to get free books for your child. D. Why to encourage your child to read more. B Looking at Brandon Miles May for the first time, you’d probably mistake him for a teenager, but he is 35 years old. We’ve seen such shocking differences between age and appearance before, but it is usually due to some rare hormonal disorder. In Brandon’s case, he never mentioned such a condition in any of his videos, but owed his unbelievably youthful looks to his anti-aging practice, which includes a balanced diet, minimal sun exposure, and at least eight hours of sleep per night. “When I go to the airport, security ask me how old I am, and they do a double take,” Brandon said in one of his videos. “The age people think I am ranges but it can be 15 or 16 or 18 to 19. I’ve never had any work done. What I do is pretty simple but effective.” At age 15, Brandon started avoiding direct sunlight and making changes to his diet, such as including more plant-based foods and green tea, and by age 19 he had already cut out sugars, grains, and carbohydrates. He has also never had a drop of alcohol and has never smoked, because he knows the effects that such bad habits have on health. “I’ve been staying out of sunlight my whole life, ” he added. “I wear a hoodie (连帽衫) to block the sun and use physical coverings on the backs of my hands. I also don’t go heavy on exercise. Too much exercise can cause stress on the body — it can age the body. I keep my exercise moderate and gentle — a walk, yoga, and some strength training.” Brandon says that he looks better than he did ten years ago, but more importantly, he feels a lot better, too. At the end of the day, youthful looks are nice, but what good are they if you feel terrible? Although he agrees that some people may find his lifestyle choices a bit strange, the 35-year-old man claims they are worth it for his anti-aging efforts. 24. What contributes to Brandon’s unusual youthful looks? A. A rare skin condition. B. A good state of mind. C. His superb make-up skills. D. His healthy and balanced lifestyle. 25. What can be learned about Brandon from paragraph 3? A. He’s quit smoking for his health. B. He’s been mindful of his health. C. He’s been sticking to a sugar-free diet since 15. D. He’s been taking sunbaths on a regular basis. 26. What’s Brandon’s opinion about exercise? A. The less, the better. B. The more intensive, the better. C. More isn’t necessarily better. D. Strength training isn’t easy. 27. What does the underlined word “they” in the last paragraph refer to? A. Some people. B. Youthful looks. C. His lifestyle choices. D. His anti-aging efforts. C A device used to treat brain injuries worked so efficiently that following a trial, some patients refused to have theirs turned off. The trial, which began in 2018, involved five people between the ages of 22 and 60. They all had mental problems like thinking or reasoning after suffering severe brain injuries between three and eighteen years earlier. The injuries meant they had difficulty performing some tasks. For the trial, doctors implanted (植入) a tiny device into each patient’s brain during an operation. The device used Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS), which rebuilds connections between neurons (神经元). Neurons are tiny cells, and there are billions of them in the brain. Whenever you do anything, chemical and electrical signals move between your neurons. The tiny device applied electricity to parts of the brain where these signals had been interrupted. The trial was the first to focus DBS on a part of the brain that dealt with awareness of your surroundings. After the devices were implanted, the patients in the study kept them running for 90 days, for 12 hours a day. This had an incredible effect on their lives. They could suddenly do things, like playing video games or reading a book, that had previously been impossible because of their brain injuries. They also reported feeling less tired and could get through the day without napping (打盹). Gina Arata, a patient who took part in the trial, said, “I can remember how much money is in my bank account. I wasn’t able to read, but after the implant I bought a book…and loved it and remembered it.” Nicholas Schiff, one of the authors of the study, called it a “pioneering moment”. Scientists hope the implant will change the lives of more people with serious long-term brain injuries. 28. What do we know about the device from paragraph 1? A. It functioned well on patients. B. It cured patients’ mental illnesses. C. It could help perform tasks without difficulty. D. It could protect patients against brain injuries. 29. What does paragraph 2 focus on? A. The structure of the brain. B. The process of the trial. C. The function of the neurons. D. The principle of the device. 30. Why is Gina Arata mentioned in the last paragraph? A. To prove the success of the device. B. To show that she is good at numbers now. C. To imply that the device can make people professional. D. To emphasize the influence of reading on brain injury recovery. 31. What can be the suitable title for the text? A Common Problems Caused by Brain Injuries B. A Breakthrough in Treating Brain Injuries C. The Importance of Neurons in Brain Function D. Strategies to Overcome Mental Illnesses after Brain Injuries D Stories of violent meetings between sharks and swimmers can frighten the recreating public. But shark experts say the risk of an attack is extremely low. Sharks live in the whole ocean, Catherine Macdonald, director of the Shark Research & Conservation Program at the University of Miami, says, and they may swim into shallow waters near the coastline to hunt for fish or avoid larger sharks. Most of the time, when sharks come across people, they just swim away. Humans aren’t part of the shark’s diet, which for most species consists primarily of smaller fish or invertebrates (无脊椎动物). If they attack people, it’s likely because they’re confused or curious. “Relative to the number of people who enjoy recreation in our oceans, shark bites are very rare,” Macdonald says. According to a global count of shark attacks, there were 69 bites in 2023. That’ s slightly higher than the five-year average of 63 shark attacks. Macdonald says there could be a few factors contributing to a possible increase in shark attacks, including a rise in reporting, a larger number of people using the water and beach-goers spending more time out of the year at the shore. Warmer waters caused by climate change may also be driving an increase in shark populations in certain areas. “If you spot a shark near you in the water, normal wild animal rules apply,” Macdonald says. “Stay calm, and if the shark is acting in a way that makes you uncomfortable, calmly move away and leave the water.” The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission also recommends that swimmers remain in groups, avoid entering the water if they’re bleeding or it’s dark outside and not wear shiny jewelry (珠宝), which can appear like fish scales to a shark. But Macdonald notes that other animals are far deadlier than sharks, including moose, hippos and even pet dogs. “There are also other dangerous threats to worry about at the beach, such as dehydration, sun exposure, riptides and drowning,” she adds. “When people ask me about safety risks at the beach and what they should be worried about, I tell them that the most dangerous thing they’ll do that day is probably drive to the beach.” 32. Why may sharks swim away from deep waters? A. For food or shelter. B. For rest or recreation. C. To warm themselves. D. To produce their young. 33. What can we learn from paragraph 4? A. The serious effects of climate change. B. The reasons behind the rising shark attacks. C. The places where shark attacks often happen. D. The number of people who go to the beach each year. 34. What are swimmers advised to do to stay safe? A. Observe the swimming rules. B. Avoid staying in the water for too long. C. Keep an eye out for the bleeding sharks. D. Remove the shiny jewelry before swimming. 35. Which of the following statements will Macdonald most probably agree with? A. Ignorance leads to danger. B. First impressions can be misleading. C. Prevention begins with not taking the risk. D. Too many concerns can make one lose the courage. 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, 并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 There is no doubt that online banking has revolutionized the way we manage our finances.

Today was a day I would remember for the rest of my life. I was competing for the newest chef position, which would require me to show my cooking skills. It was an opportunity I had been working towards for months, and today, it was finally here. As I arrived at the restaurant, I saw my best friend, Mary. She is also interested in cooking and we are in the same cooking club. Now, she was the person I would be competing against. I wanted Mary to win, but deep down, I also wanted to win. We entered the kitchen and quickly put on our chef’s hat, which seemed to symbolize our commitment to excellence. “Using the ingredients in the kitchen, cook an Italian dish that would be a great addition to our menu,” said the restaurant manager. “I’ll leave the kitchen and return in two hours.” With those words, he left the room, leaving us to our own devices. We immediately headed for the refrigerator, and I took some carrots, potatoes, and onions. I cut them up and put them into a pot with some olive oil, preparing them to be cooked. Meanwhile, Mary preheated the oven and got to cut up the eggplants. Not long after, the oven was ready. But just as she was about to put the eggplants in, Mary became distracted (分心) by the ding of the oven door. Suddenly, she screamed in pain, “Ouch!” She dropped the knife onto the cutting board and applied pressure to the finger she had just cut. Seeing that, I thought to myself, “Ha! I’ll definitely win now!” However, another voice in my body said, “Help Mary. Help your best friend now!” 注意：1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Within just seconds, I made a quick decision. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Then the manager announced that Mary was the winner. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 绝密★启用前 2024—2025学年（上）安徽高三8月份联考 英语 考生注意: 1. 答题前, 考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号填写在试卷和答题卡上, 并将考生号条形码粘贴在答题卡上的指定位置。 2. 回答选择题时, 选出每小题答案后, 用铅笔把答题卡对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动, 用橡皮擦干净后, 再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时, 将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 3. 考试结束后, 将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 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2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?

I was first attracted by climbing in 2016 when, as a reporter, I was arranged to interview some professional mountaineers. Over the several days I spent with them, I began to understand the sense of freedom that mountaineering brings. Then about three years later, I gave up my job and joined the British Top Expedition. We trained at a a local gym, which was the easy part. However, I found there were lots of things that frightened me about Mount Everest. That was one of the most difficult things for climbing. Anyway, I’ve managed to climb the mountain twice. The first time I went, as a reporter, I carried my camera all the way, but it wasn’t necessary. You can even forget showers on a mountain as well. On my second trip, I didn’t even take my toothbrush. But to get water, I had to melt snow, using the fuel that I brought with me. I’ve never reached the top of the mountain yet, but I’m not thinking of giving up.

Choosing new books can be a fun adventure. Exchanging old ones can freshen up the supply and help keep your child interested in reading. The good news is that you can do it for free. Here are some places where you can find free hard copies for them. Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library The country singer started Imagination Library, a program that mails free books each month to kids aged 0 — 5. It was launched in 1995 and now mails kids more than 1 million free books each month. If the program isn’t in your community, you can apply to start a local chapter. Freecycle and Craigslist Everything offered on Freecycle is free — all you have to do is pick it up. With more than 9 million members, chances are that there’s a Freecycle group near you. Search the offers for kids’ books or you can post a wanted ad. You can also search the “Free Stuff” section on Craigslist to find people who are giving away books and learning games. Book Exchanges and Book Banks Search online to see if your community has a book exchange or a book bank. Book exchanges encourage visitors to trade in books. Book banks simply give books away. Some book banks partner with schools and community groups to distribute free books to kids. But some are open to the public. Little Free Libraries Little free libraries are free book-sharing boxes, where anyone can take or share a book. So far, volunteers have placed more than 90,000 book-sharing boxes near sidewalks and other places people tend to walk by. The goal is to provide 24/7 access to free books. 21. What does the text say about Imagination Library? A. It’s a creation of a musician. B. It’s intended for people of all ages. C. It mails over 100 million books yearly. D. It covers most of the countries’ communities. 22. Which place should people visit if they want to share a book at anytime? A. Freecycle. B. Craigslist. C. A book bank. D. A little free library. 23. What does the text mainly introduce? A. What books benefit your child most. B. How to interest your child in reading. C. Where to get free books for your child. D. Why to encourage your child to read more. 【答案】21. A 22. D 23. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章介绍了四个孩子可以免费得到图书的地方。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The country singer started Imagination Library, a program that mails free books each month to kids aged 0 — 5.(这位乡村歌手创立了“想象图书馆”项目，每月向0到5岁的孩子邮寄免费书籍)”可知，想象图书馆是一位音乐家的作品。故选A。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Little free libraries are free book-sharing boxes, where anyone can take or share a book. So far, volunteers have placed more than 90,000 book-sharing boxes near sidewalks and other places people tend to walk by.(小型免费图书馆是免费的图书共享箱，任何人都可以借阅或共享一本书。到目前为止，志愿者们已经在人行道和其他人们经常经过的地方放置了9万多个图书共享箱)”可知，如果人们想在任何时候分享一本书，他们应该去一个免费的小图书馆。故选D。 【23题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Exchanging old ones can freshen up the supply and help keep your child interested in reading. The good news is that you can do it for free. Here are some places where you can find free hard copies for them.(交换旧书可以让你的孩子耳目一新，让他们对阅读保持兴趣。好消息是，你可以免费做到这一点。这里有一些地方你可以找到免费的硬装书)”结合文章介绍了四个孩子可以免费得到图书的地方。可知，文章主要介绍了哪里可以给你的孩子得到免费的书。故选C。 B Looking at Brandon Miles May for the first time, you’d probably mistake him for a teenager, but he is 35 years old. We’ve seen such shocking differences between age and appearance before, but it is usually due to some rare hormonal disorder. In Brandon’s case, he never mentioned such a condition in any of his videos, but owed his unbelievably youthful looks to his anti-aging practice, which includes a balanced diet, minimal sun exposure, and at least eight hours of sleep per night. “When I go to the airport, security ask me how old I am, and they do a double take,” Brandon said in one of his videos. “The age people think I am ranges but it can be 15 or 16 or 18 to 19. I’ve never had any work done. What I do is pretty simple but effective.” At age 15, Brandon started avoiding direct sunlight and making changes to his diet, such as including more plant-based foods and green tea, and by age 19 he had already cut out sugars, grains, and carbohydrates. He has also never had a drop of alcohol and has never smoked, because he knows the effects that such bad habits have on health. “I’ve been staying out of sunlight my whole life, ” he added. “I wear a hoodie (连帽衫) to block the sun and use physical coverings on the backs of my hands. I also don’t go heavy on exercise. Too much exercise can cause stress on the body — it can age the body. I keep my exercise moderate and gentle — a walk, yoga, and some strength training.” Brandon says that he looks better than he did ten years ago, but more importantly, he feels a lot better, too. At the end of the day, youthful looks are nice, but what good are they if you feel terrible? Although he agrees that some people may find his lifestyle choices a bit strange, the 35-year-old man claims they are worth it for his anti-aging efforts. 24. What contributes to Brandon’s unusual youthful looks? A. A rare skin condition. B. A good state of mind. C. His superb make-up skills. D. His healthy and balanced lifestyle. 25. What can be learned about Brandon from paragraph 3? A. He’s quit smoking for his health. B. He’s been mindful of his health. C. He’s been sticking to a sugar-free diet since 15. D. He’s been taking sunbaths on a regular basis. 26. What’s Brandon’s opinion about exercise? A. The less, the better. B. The more intensive, the better. C. More isn’t necessarily better. D. Strength training isn’t easy. 27. What does the underlined word “they” in the last paragraph refer to? A. Some people. B. Youthful looks. C. His lifestyle choices. D. His anti-aging efforts. 【答案】24. D 25. B 26. C 27. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了Brandon Miles May通过一系列方法来让自己对抗衰老。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“In Brandon’s case, he never mentioned such a condition in any of his videos, but owed his unbelievably youthful looks to his anti-aging practice, which includes a balanced diet, minimal sun exposure, and at least eight hours of sleep per night.(在布兰登的案例中，他从未在任何视频中提到过这种情况，但他将他令人难以置信的年轻外表归功于他的抗衰老实践，其中包括均衡的饮食，最少的阳光照射，以及每晚至少8小时的睡眠)”可知，健康平衡的生活方式让布兰登看起来如此年轻。故选D。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“At age 15, Brandon started avoiding direct sunlight and making changes to his diet, such as including more plant-based foods and green tea, and by age 19 he had already cut out sugars, grains, and carbohydrates. He has also never had a drop of alcohol and has never smoked, because he knows the effects that such bad habits have on health.(15岁时，布兰登开始避免阳光直射，并改变饮食习惯，比如多吃植物性食物和绿茶，到19岁时，他已经戒掉了糖、谷物和碳水化合物。他也从不沾一滴酒，从不吸烟，因为他知道这些坏习惯对健康的影响)”可知，布兰登很注意自己的健康。故选B。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Too much exercise can cause stress on the body — it can age the body.(过多的运动会给身体带来压力——它会使身体衰老)”可知，布兰登认为锻炼越多不一定越好。故选C。 【27题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“Although he agrees that some people may find his lifestyle choices a bit strange, the 35-year-old man claims(尽管他承认有些人可能会觉得他的生活方式选择有点奇怪，但这位35岁的男子表示……)”以及后文“are worth it for his anti-aging efforts(为了抗衰老，（他的生活方式选择）是值得的)”可知，故they指的是“他的生活方式选择”。故选C。 C A device used to treat brain injuries worked so efficiently that, following a trial, some patients refused to have theirs turned off. The trial, which began in 2018, involved five people between the ages of 22 and 60. They all had mental problems like thinking or reasoning after suffering severe brain injuries between three and eighteen years earlier. The injuries meant they had difficulty performing some tasks. For the trial doctors implanted (植入) a tiny device into each patient’s brain during an operation. The device used Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS), which rebuilds connections between neurons (神经元). Neurons are tiny cells, and there are billions of them in the brain. Whenever you do anything, chemical and electrical signals move between your neurons. The tiny device applied electricity to parts of the brain where these signals had been interrupted. The trial was the first to focus DBS on a part of the brain that dealt with awareness of your surroundings. After the devices were implanted, the patients in the study kept them running for 90 days, for 12 hours a day. This had an incredible effect on their lives. They could suddenly do things, like playing video games or reading a book, that had previously been impossible because of their brain injuries. They also reported feeling less tired and could get through the day without napping (打盹). Gina Arata, a patient who took part in the trial, said, “I can remember how much money is in my bank account. I wasn’t able to read, but after the implant I bought a book…and loved it and remembered it.” Nicholas Schiff, one of the authors of the study, called it a “pioneering moment”. Scientists hope the implant will change the lives of more people with serious long-term brain injuries. 28. What do we know about the device from paragraph 1? A. It functioned well on patients. B. It cured patients’ mental illnesses. C. It could help perform tasks without difficulty. D. It could protect patients against brain injuries. 29. What does paragraph 2 focus on? A. The structure of the brain. B. The process of the trial. C. The function of the neurons. D. The principle of the device. 30. Why is Gina Arata mentioned in the last paragraph? A. To prove the success of the device. B. To show that she is good at numbers now. C. To imply that the device can make people professional. D. To emphasize the influence of reading on brain injury recovery. 31. What can be the suitable title for the text? A. Common Problems Caused by Brain Injuries B. A Breakthrough in Treating Brain Injuries C. The Importance of Neurons in Brain Function D. Strategies to Overcome Mental Illnesses after Brain Injuries 【答案】28. A 29. D 30. A 31. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一种可以治疗脑损伤的设备，介绍了其原理以及效果。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“A device used to treat brain injuries worked so efficiently that, following a trial, some patients refused to have theirs turned off.(一种用于治疗脑损伤的设备非常有效，以至于在试验之后，一些患者拒绝关闭他们的设备)”可知，设备在病人身上效果很好。故选A。 【29题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“For the trial, doctors implanted (植入) a tiny device into each patient’s brain during an operation. The device used Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS), which rebuilds connections between neurons (神经元). Neurons are tiny cells, and there are billions of them in the brain. Whenever you do anything, chemical and electrical signals move between your neurons. The tiny device applied electricity to parts of the brain where these signals had been interrupted. The trial was the first to focus DBS on a part of the brain that dealt with awareness of your surroundings. (在这项试验中，医生在手术期间将一个微型装置植入每位患者的大脑。该设备使用深部脑刺激（DBS）来重建神经元之间的连接。神经元是微小的细胞，在大脑中有数十亿个。无论你做什么，化学和电信号都会在你的神经元之间传递。这个微小的装置将电流施加到大脑中这些信号被中断的部分。该试验首次将DBS集中在大脑中处理周围环境意识的部分)”可知，第二段的重点是装置的原理。故选D。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Gina Arata, a patient who took part in the trial, said, “I can remember how much money is in my bank account. I wasn’t able to read, but after the implant I bought a book…and loved it and remembered it.” Nicholas Schiff, one of the authors of the study, called it a “pioneering moment”.( 参加试验的病人吉娜·阿拉塔说：“我能记得我的银行账户里有多少钱。我不能阅读，但在植入手术后，我买了一本书……我喜欢它，并记住了它。”该研究的作者之一尼古拉斯·希夫称这是一个“开创性的时刻”)”可知，最后一段提到了吉娜·阿拉塔是为了证明设备的成功。故选A。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“A device used to treat brain injuries worked so efficiently that, following a trial, some patients refused to have theirs turned off.(一种用于治疗脑损伤的设备非常有效，以至于在试验之后，一些患者拒绝关闭他们的设备)”结合文章主要介绍了一种可以治疗脑损伤的设备，介绍了其原理以及效果。可知，B选项“脑损伤治疗的突破”最符合文章标题。故选B。 D Stories of violent meetings between sharks and swimmers can frighten the recreating public. But shark experts say the risk of an attack is extremely low. Sharks live in the whole ocean, Catherine Macdonald, director of the Shark Research & Conservation Program at the University of Miami, says, and they may swim into shallow waters near the coastline to hunt for fish or avoid larger sharks. Most of the time, when sharks come across people, they just swim away. Humans aren’t part of the shark’s diet, which for most species consists primarily of smaller fish or invertebrates (无脊椎动物). If they attack people, it’s likely because they’re confused or curious. “Relative to the number of people who enjoy recreation in our oceans, shark bites are very rare,” Macdonald says. According to a global count of shark attacks, there were 69 bites in 2023. That’ s slightly higher than the five-year average of 63 shark attacks. Macdonald says there could be a few factors contributing to a possible increase in shark attacks, including a rise in reporting, a larger number of people using the water and beach-goers spending more time out of the year at the shore. Warmer waters caused by climate change may also be driving an increase in shark populations in certain areas. “If you spot a shark near you in the water, normal wild animal rules apply,” Macdonald says. “Stay calm, and if the shark is acting in a way that makes you uncomfortable, calmly move away and leave the water.” The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission also recommends that swimmers remain in groups, avoid entering the water if they’re bleeding or it’s dark outside and not wear shiny jewelry (珠宝), which can appear like fish scales to a shark. But Macdonald notes that other animals are far deadlier than sharks, including moose, hippos and even pet dogs. “There are also other dangerous threats to worry about at the beach, such as dehydration, sun exposure, riptides and drowning,” she adds. “When people ask me about safety risks at the beach and what they should be worried about, I tell them that the most dangerous thing they’ll do that day is probably drive to the beach.” 32. Why may sharks swim away from deep waters? A. For food or shelter. B. For rest or recreation. C. To warm themselves. D. To produce their young. 33. What can we learn from paragraph 4? A. The serious effects of climate change. B. The reasons behind the rising shark attacks. C. The places where shark attacks often happen. D. The number of people who go to the beach each year. 34. What are swimmers advised to do to stay safe? A. Observe the swimming rules. B. Avoid staying in the water for too long. C. Keep an eye out for the bleeding sharks. D. Remove the shiny jewelry before swimming. 35. Which of the following statements will Macdonald most probably agree with? A. Ignorance leads to danger. B. First impressions can be misleading. C. Prevention begins with not taking the risk. D. Too many concerns can make one lose the courage. 【答案】32. A 33. B 34. D 35. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明人类被鲨鱼袭击的风险极低，并解释了鲨鱼攻击人类的原因以及建议。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Sharks live in the whole ocean, Catherine Macdonald, director of the Shark Research & Conservation Program at the University of Miami, says, and they may swim into shallow waters near the coastline to hunt for fish or avoid larger sharks.(迈阿密大学鲨鱼研究与保护项目主任凯瑟琳·麦克唐纳说，鲨鱼生活在整个海洋中，它们可能会游到海岸线附近的浅水区捕鱼或躲避更大的鲨鱼)”可知，鲨鱼离开深水区是为了食物或躲避。故选A。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Macdonald says there could be a few factors contributing to a possible increase in shark attacks, including a rise in reporting, a larger number of people using the water and beach-goers spending more time out of the year at the shore. Warmer waters caused by climate change may also be driving an increase in shark populations in certain areas.(麦克唐纳说，可能有几个因素导致了鲨鱼袭击事件的增加，包括报告数量的增加，使用海水的人数的增加以及海滩游客在海岸上度过的时间的增加。气候变化引起的海水变暖也可能导致某些地区鲨鱼数量的增加)”可知，第四段告诉我们鲨鱼袭击事件增多的原因。故选B。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission also recommends that swimmers remain in groups, avoid entering the water if they’re bleeding or it’s dark outside and not wear shiny jewelry (珠宝), which can appear like fish scales to a shark. (佛罗里达州鱼类和野生动物保护委员会还建议游泳者保持团体，如果他们流血或外面天黑，不要进入水里，不要戴闪亮的珠宝，因为对鲨鱼来说，这些珠宝看起来像鱼鳞)”可知，游泳者应该游泳前摘掉闪亮的首饰来保持安全。故选D。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“When people ask me about safety risks at the beach and what they should be worried about, I tell them that the most dangerous thing they’ll do that day is probably drive to the beach.(当人们问我海滩的安全风险和他们应该担心什么时，我告诉他们那天他们要做的最危险的事情可能就是开车去海滩)”可知，麦克唐纳认为预防从不冒险开始。故选C。 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, 并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 There is no doubt that online banking has revolutionized the way we manage our finances.

Thus they can have access to your accounts easily. This could result in the loss of money and the leak of personal information. So, make sure to set strong, unique passwords. And be careful about the websites and links you interact with.(在这个相互联系的世界里，一些人不断使用不同的方法在线窃取你的个人和财务数据。因此，他们可以很容易地访问您的帐户。这可能会导致金钱损失和个人信息泄露。所以，一定要设置强大的、唯一的密码。小心你接触的网站和链接)”可知，本段主要说明了金钱损失和个人信息泄露，即存在安全风险。故B选项“安全风险”符合语境，故选B。 【37题详解】 根据后文“But one of the biggest disadvantages of mobile banking is also hidden here. Relying only on automated systems can lead to a disconnection from the key concepts of money management. There may be cases where you run into technical problems or system breakdowns.(但手机银行最大的缺点之一也隐藏在这里。只依赖自动化系统会导致与资金管理的关键概念脱节。可能会遇到技术问题或系统故障)”可知，后文but表示转折，提到了手机银行的缺点，推测本句是在说明其优点。故C选项“网上银行非常方便”符合语境，故选C。 【38题详解】 根据上文“●Overspending. With 24/7 access and the convenience of online banking, it is easier to overspend or make impulsive (冲动的) purchases.(●超支。有了全天候的服务和网上银行的便利，人们更容易超支或冲动购物)”以及后文“This could result in spending without your awareness. Make sure to regularly monitor your account, set spending limits, and be mindful of your financial activity online.(这可能会导致你无意识地消费。确保定期监控你的账户，设定支出限制，并注意你的网上财务活动)”可知，后文提到了网络银行导致无意识地消费，即让用户成为网络银行的受害者。故E选项“如果不小心，用户也可能成为网络作弊的受害者”符合语境，故选E。 【39题详解】 根据上文“●Internet requirement. Online banking is entirely dependent on an Internet connection. If you don’t have a stable and reliable Internet connection, it will be difficult to access your accounts or conduct financial transactions.(●网络需求。网上银行完全依赖于互联网连接。如果你没有稳定可靠的互联网连接，你将很难进入你的账户或进行金融交易)”可知，本句为本段最后一句，故承接上文，说明没有稳定可靠的互联网连接，难以进行金融交易所带来的消极影响。故G选项“这对于生活在互联网服务差的地区的人们来说可能更具挑战性”符合语境，故选G。 【40题详解】 根据后文“This can be disadvantageous when seeking advice or assistance for complex financial matters. While online support is available, it may not fully replace the experience of talking to a human banker.(在为复杂的财务问题寻求建议或帮助时，这可能是不利的。虽然在线支持是可用的，但它可能无法完全取代与真人银行员工交谈的体验)”可知，后文提到了无法完全取代与真人银行员工，说明本句是在说明关于银行工作人员的情况。D选项中with bank personnel对应后文banker。故D选项“用户错过了与银行工作人员面对面的交流”符合语境，故选D。 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, 并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 I love my husband.

Today was a day I would remember for the rest of my life. I was competing for the newest chef position, which would require me to show my cooking skills. It was an opportunity I had been working towards for months, and today, it was finally here. As I arrived at the restaurant, I saw my best friend, Mary. She is also interested in cooking and we are in the same cooking club. Now, she was the person I would be competing against. I wanted Mary to win, but deep down, I also wanted to win. We entered the kitchen and quickly put on our chef’s hat, which seemed to symbolize our commitment to excellence. “Using the ingredients in the kitchen, cook an Italian dish that would be a great addition to our menu,” said the restaurant manager. “I’ll leave the kitchen and return in two hours.” With those words, he left the room, leaving us to our own devices. We immediately headed for the refrigerator, and I took some carrots, potatoes, and onions. I cut them up and put them into a pot with some olive oil, preparing them to be cooked. Meanwhile, Mary preheated the oven and got to cut up the eggplants. Not long after, the oven was ready. But just as she was about to put the eggplants in, Mary became distracted (分心) by the ding of the oven door. Suddenly, she screamed in pain, “Ouch!” She dropped the knife onto the cutting board and applied pressure to the finger she had just cut. Seeing that, I thought to myself, “Ha! I’ll definitely win now!” However, another voice in my body said, “Help Mary. Help your best friend now!” 注意：1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Within just seconds, I made a quick decision. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Then the manager announced that Mary was the winner. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Within just seconds, I made a quick decision. Without hesitation, I rushed to Mary’s side, grabbing a clean cloth to help stop the bleeding. Mary was crying all the time, keeping saying how eagerly she wanted to work in this restaurant. Realizing that Mary might not finish the competition in time, I decided to help complete her remaining steps though I knew I might lose this chance because I had many things to do. So for the rest of the time, I was scrambling. Anyhow, we did it. Soon, the manager came into the kitchen to check our work. When he tasted Mary’s dish, he smiled in satisfaction. Then the manager announced that Mary was the winner. Though it turned out as I had expected, I was a little down when hearing the result. At that time, Mary told the manager what had happened and said that the winner should belong to me. The manager agreed to give me another chance, which made me overjoyed. I tried my best to complete my dish, and at last the manager appreciated it. Then to our surprise, the manager decided to employ both of us. From the experience, I’ve learned that winning is great, but sometimes helping others feels even better. Just do good things, and you will be rewarded. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者要去应聘厨师，到达餐厅时，遇到了好朋友玛丽，两人要进行比赛。玛丽在做饭的时候伤到了手指，作者帮助了玛丽。最后玛丽获胜，但是让经理聘用作者，最后两人都被餐厅录取了。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“就在几秒钟内，我迅速做出了决定。”可知，第一段可描写作者帮助玛丽以及内心的挣扎。 ②由第二段首句内容“然后经理宣布玛丽获胜。”可知，第二段可描写玛丽获胜，告诉了经理经过，两人都被录取。 2.续写线索：作者帮助朋友——作者内心纠结——玛丽获胜——作者沮丧——玛丽说实话——经理录取两人——作者感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①急忙：rush/hurry ②决定：decide/resolve ③欣赏：appreciate/admire 情绪类 ①失望：be down/disappointed ②满意：satisfaction/content 【点睛】[高分句型1] When he tasted Mary’s dish, he smiled in satisfaction.
