When you imagine nature, do you think about humans? Often, we don’t imagine humans as a part of the natural landscape, instead viewing ourselves and our creations as separate and distinct from the organic world around us. How do we reconcile (使和谐一致) our idea of humanity with our idea of nature, as we are animals ourselves? Artist Aaron Delehanty explores questions such as these through his work The Natural Center. Delehanty, a lifelong environmentalist, creates pieces that focus on the boundary between nature and humankind. His goal, no matter the media or technique he uses, is to challenge the way we systemize our natural world. The Natural Center is currently on exhibit in the Art and Music Library’s Frontispace Gallery. Each one of the mixed media paintings and sculptures intertwines (交织) themes of nature and humanity, exploring feelings of unnaturalness or discomfort in the spaces where they meet. The most prominently placed piece is the waterco lor series on the back wall of the exhibit. On the other wall, the Origami Audubon Series features image ry from John James Audubon’s famous Birds of America watercolor painting series. The exhibit also houses four sculpted cranes, each frozen in a unique pose. The Natural Center will be on display through Friday, Feb. 17 in the Frontispace Gallery, located on the ground floor of Rush Rhees Library at the Art and Music Library entrance. 21. What does Aaron Delehanty intend to do through The Natural Center? A. To praise humans as animals. B. To challenge the natural world. C. To integrate mankind into nature. D. To systemize the human world. 22. What can you do in the exhibit? A. Make unique sculptures. B. Admire fascinating artworks. C. Enjoy comfortable music. D. Observe various living creatures. 23. In which section of the magazine may the text appear? A. Gardening. B. Health. C. Wildlife. D. Art. B Chin was partially paralysed in 2018 after a stroke. For several months, she remained in hospital and began to rebuild her strength and ability to communicate. “At the beginning, I was so weak I couldn’t even use a wheelchair,” she says. “I realised that I wouldn’t be able to go back to my old life.” Asking for help was particularly difficult as Chin didn’t want to feel like a burden, but after being recommended a course of therapy (疗法), she started to glimpse a future for herself. She started opening up to other people and one day her social worker suggested she should try a sport. “She mentioned the wheelchair basketball team and I decided to give it a try,” she says. The first two times Rose Chin arrived at the basketball court as a 65-year-old , to try out for the Inverness wheelchair team, she couldn’t make it past the doors. “I looked through the window and just thought: ‘I can’t do this,’” she says. “The third time, though, I made myself go through before I could think about it. The team welcomed me with open arms and it’s changed the way I live in my wheelchair ever since.” Following that successful third attempt onto the court in 2022, Chin was enlisted as part of the 10- person team and began attending weekly training sessions learning how to pass, throw and defend while moving herself in a specially designed chair. “We very quickly became a little family with a WhatsApp group full of jokes,” she laughs. “I’m the oldest on the team and the youngest is 19 but when I play, age doesn’t come into it — it’s such a pleasure.” “I feel so independent and I know I will keep playing for as long as I can,” she says. “I want us to raise more money to get more equipment so we can encourage others to join. They might be feeling like I was, but I want them to know that there’s opportunity out there — they don’t have to be alone.” 24. Why did Chin try out for the wheelchair basketball team? A. She was passionate about the sports. B. She was inspired by a social worker. C. She gained the support from the team. D. She wanted to test the effect of therapy. 25. What did Chin experience during the first two attempts? A. A mental struggle. B. A frustrating rejection. C. A warm welcome. D. A hard training session. 26. What does Chin think of the team? A. It relieves her aging anxiety. B. It feels like a happy family. C. It has brilliant basketball players. D. It helps her enjoy some jokes. 27. Which of the following can best describe Chin? A. Modest and cheerful. B. Talented and creative. C. Confident and honest. D. Independent and kind. C Air conditioning use has exploded in the last 30 years. According to U. S. Census data in1993, just about three- quarters of single family homes in the Midwest had air conditioning. In the West and Northeast, it was just about half. Now, all regions are pushing 100 percent air conditioning coverage. In the South, it’s been at about 100 percent since the early 1990s. As the cost of air conditioning installation has gone down, and temperatures have gone up, Americans have been offered an opportunity for a steady indoor temperature year-round, regardless of the weather outside. This drive for comfort forces us to disconnect from what’s happening all around us. A conditioned climate allows us to completely ignore the changing seasons and our warming planet. Only listening to people who agree with us — or trying to silence those who disagree — creates our own, individually conditioned realities. New York University professor and social psychologist Jonathan Haidt showed how the comforts of conveniences “atomize” our social structures. Each new technology that makes our lives easier also makes us less reliant on other people. Haidt’s big focus is on smartphones and social media, as explored in his recent book, but our society was cracking off into smaller and smaller pieces long before we had the robots in our pockets. Cars allowed us to shop in other towns, reducing reliance on local businesses. A television set gave something for people to do in the evenings, reducing the need to hang out with neighbors, and by extension, eroding community structures and institutions (often called “third places”, in contrast to work and home). Air conditioning allowed us to stay inside in the heat, limiting a play-based childhood where kids run around with each other and make their own fun. What if we all turned off the air conditioning for a bit, opened our windows, and truly experienced life as it was happening, not what we manufactured it to be? We might be a little less comfortable, but maybe a little more connected. 28. What can we infer from the first two paragraphs? A. Air conditioning easily shapes our individual personality. B. Air conditioned houses are more comfortable than others. C. Air conditioning can reduce our connection with the world. D. Air conditioning is accessible to every household in the US. 29. Why does the author mention Haidt? A. To promote his recent book. B. To illustrate technological advances. C. To praise human self- reliance. D. To reveal the harm of air conditioning. 30. What does the word “eroding” underlined in paragraph 4 refer to? A. Constructing. B. Destroying. C. Avoiding. D. Improving. 31. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Turn off Air Conditioning for a Bit B. Experience Your Life to the Fullest C Keep Away from Air Conditioned Houses D. Never Create Our Own Conditioned Realities D Mountain chickadees (山雀) have some of the strongest spacial memories in the animal kingdom. New research reveals the genes involved and sheds light on how a changing climate may influence the evolution of this particular skill. In a new study, researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder and the University of Nevada, Reno identify nearly a hundred genes associated with the birds’ spacial memory, or ability to recall the locations of objects. The paper also suggests a potential balance may exist between having a solid long- term memory and being able to quickly remove old memories to form new ones. Taylor, the director of CU Boulder’s Mountain Research Station and his associates at the University of Nevada, Reno, lead by biologist professor Vladimir Pravosudov, designed a novel technique to assess the spacial memory of wild mountain chickadees. They hung various feeder groups in California’s Sierra Nevada mountains, each with eight seed-filled bird feeders. Each feeder has a gate equipped with a radio frequency reader capable of detecting a tag placed on chickadees by researchers. The scientists then configured (设定) each gate to only open to specific birds, forcing the chickadees to remember which feeders would open to them. Pravosudov and his team then counted how many times each chickadee landed on the wrong feeders before they recalled the right one. Using blood samples, the CU Boulder team sequenced (测定序列) the whole genome of 162 tagged chickadees, resulting in the largest database ever collected for examining the genetic basis of chickade’s cognitive ability. The team discovered 97 genes involved in chickadee spacial learning and memory by comparing the birds’ genomes to their performance on the feeder test. The findings could help biologists better understand the evolution of spacial memory in animals, including humans. “Chickadees are impressive birds,” said Scott Taylor. “They can remember tens of thousands of locations where they store food across an entire winter and a new set of those the next winter. Their spacial memory is much more developed than many other birds that don’t have to have this strategy to survive cold winters.” 32. What do we know about mountain chickadees’ spacial memories? A. They are linked with a hundred relevant genes. B. They maintain a good balance in locating objects. C. They are considered powerful in the animal world. D. They might account for the slow change of climate. 33. What can a radio frequency reader do in the test? A. Lower the error rate of the chickadees. B. Count the times each chickadee failed. C. Collect the food information of a feeder. D. Identify the chickadee landing on a feeder. 34. What does paragraph 4 focus on about the study? A. Blood sampling. B. Genes involved. C. Ability comparing. D. Data gathered. 35. What does Scott Taylor imply in the last paragraph? A. Chickadees possess amazing evolutionary capability. B Many other birds should improve their spacial memory. C. Food storage is vital to the survival of animals in winter. D. Chickadees’ spacial memory carries them through winter. 第二节 (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。 Do you feel overwhelmed, frustrated, or uninterested in life lately? ___36___ There are some effective ways to deal with these feelings and regain control over your life. ___37___ If you’re feeling lost, the first step to regaining direction is to admit your feelings to yourself.

My mom knew how to make seven meals. That was all. She kept all seven recipes labeled with a day of the week. That day was Meatloaf Monday. Again. “It’s just, it had been Tuna Tuesdays and Spaghetti Saturdays for, like, my entire life. Not every meal had to start with the same letter as a day of the week.” My mom’s eyes flashed. But she said nothing. I knew she didn’t consider learning new recipes due to her overwhelming stress. The next day I was sitting next to Tania, whose dad was the best cook, in our school’s brand- new- since- six- months- ago kitchen classroom. Everything— the tables, the stove, the pots and pans—— shone and sparkled. I was about to ask Tania about a new recipe, but Mr. Bruin, our teacher, interrupted. “I’ve got exciting news,” he said. Exciting news? The class stopped talking and looked expectantly at Mr. Bruin. “To finish off our unit on kitchen skills, we were having a competition where you didn’t have a recipe and you had to make something with whatever ingredients the judges gave you.” An eager murmur traveled through the class. “You’ve learned a lot this term— accurate measuring, food prep, cooking techniques. Just add some creativity to the mix.” “Will there be prizes?” asked Samantha. “Absolutely! And the first-place prize was the newest book in the Cave of the Dragons series,” said Mr. Bruin, holding up a copy for everyone to see. The class erupted into squeals and cheers. Cave of the Dragons was the best book series ever! It had been sold out everywhere. During the break, all anyone could talk about was the cooking competition .“I’m totally going to win,” said Tania. “Genes, like, cooking was in my DNA.” And if there was some sort of cooking gene, my mom definitely didn’t have it. So, if I wanted to win, I needed to practise and innovate. 注意: (1) 续写词数应为150左右； (2) 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: After school, I told my mom my plan. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: The day of the competition arrived, and the kitchen classroom was filled with activity. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 浙江强基联盟2024年8月高三联考 英语试题 注意事项: 1. 答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2. 回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上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，你将有两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。 1. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 How is the weather in the mountains?

A 【解析】 【原文】With the rapid growth in China’s cities, some architecture companies are trying to help the environment keep up. Some are even trying to find more ways to bring the urban population into contact with nature. MAD Architects is one of those companies that are trying to take “green” designs to a new level. The company believes in the importance of making buildings that can produce their own power and food. They believe the buildings should also recycle all of their waste. The new designs make people living and working in these buildings think about being outside. They feel like they’re reconnecting with the natural world, instead of being far apart from it. The company believes this way of thinking is very important for the future of urban living. One of MAD’s newest projects is called the Urban Forest, designed for the city of Chongqing. There will be offices, open spaces, balconies with trees, and many plants throughout. The project is inspired by the mountainous Chinese landscape and the traditional villages built on the hillsides. It will be an urban engineering wonder! Architects who are interested in working on the Urban Forest should apply at the MAD in Beijing, New York or Rome.  第二部分 阅读理解 (共两节，满分50分) 第一节 (共15小题: 每小题2.5分, 满分 37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳答案。 A The Natural Center is a Beautiful Ode to Earth What is nature? When you imagine nature, do you think about humans? Often, we don’t imagine humans as a part of the natural landscape, instead viewing ourselves and our creations as separate and distinct from the organic world around us. How do we reconcile (使和谐一致) our idea of humanity with our idea of nature, as we are animals ourselves? Artist Aaron Delehanty explores questions such as these through his work The Natural Center. Delehanty, a lifelong environmentalist, creates pieces that focus on the boundary between nature and humankind. His goal, no matter the media or technique he uses, is to challenge the way we systemize our natural world. The Natural Center is currently on exhibit in the Art and Music Library’s Frontispace Gallery. Each one of the mixed media paintings and sculptures intertwines (交织) themes of nature and humanity, exploring feelings of unnaturalness or discomfort in the spaces where they meet. The most prominently placed piece is the waterco lor series on the back wall of the exhibit. On the other wall, the Origami Audubon Series features image ry from John James Audubon’s famous Birds of America watercolor painting series. The exhibit also houses four sculpted cranes, each frozen in a unique pose. The Natural Center will be on display through Friday, Feb. 17 in the Frontispace Gallery, located on the ground floor of Rush Rhees Library at the Art and Music Library entrance. 21. What does Aaron Delehanty intend to do through The Natural Center? A. To praise humans as animals. B. To challenge the natural world. C. To integrate mankind into nature. D. To systemize the human world. 22. What can you do in the exhibit? A. Make unique sculptures. B. Admire fascinating artworks. C. Enjoy comfortable music. D. Observe various living creatures. 23. In which section of the magazine may the text appear? A. Gardening. B. Health. C. Wildlife. D. Art. 【答案】21. C 22. B 23.

For several months, she remained in hospital and began to rebuild her strength and ability to communicate. “At the beginning, I was so weak I couldn’t even use a wheelchair,” she says. “I realised that I wouldn’t be able to go back to my old life.” Asking for help was particularly difficult as Chin didn’t want to feel like a burden, but after being recommended a course of therapy (疗法), she started to glimpse a future for herself. She started opening up to other people and one day her social worker suggested she should try a sport. “She mentioned the wheelchair basketball team and I decided to give it a try,” she says. The first two times Rose Chin arrived at the basketball court as a 65-year-old , to try out for the Inverness wheelchair team, she couldn’t make it past the doors. “I looked through the window and just thought: ‘I can’t do this,’” she says. “The third time, though, I made myself go through before I could think about it. The team welcomed me with open arms and it’s changed the way I live in my wheelchair ever since.” Following that successful third attempt onto the court in 2022, Chin was enlisted as part of the 10- person team and began attending weekly training sessions learning how to pass, throw and defend while moving herself in a specially designed chair. “We very quickly became a little family with a WhatsApp group full of jokes,” she laughs. “I’m the oldest on the team and the youngest is 19 but when I play, age doesn’t come into it — it’s such a pleasure.” “I feel so independent and I know I will keep playing for as long as I can,” she says. “I want us to raise more money to get more equipment so we can encourage others to join. They might be feeling like I was, but I want them to know that there’s opportunity out there — they don’t have to be alone.” 24. Why did Chin try out for the wheelchair basketball team? A. She was passionate about the sports. B. She was inspired by a social worker. C. She gained the support from the team. D. She wanted to test the effect of therapy. 25. What did Chin experience during the first two attempts? A. A mental struggle. B. A frustrating rejection. C. A warm welcome. D. A hard training session. 26. What does Chin think of the team? A. It relieves her aging anxiety. B. It feels like a happy family. C. It has brilliant basketball players. D. It helps her enjoy some jokes. 27. Which of the following can best describe Chin? A. Modest and cheerful. B. Talented and creative. C. Confident and honest. D. Independent and kind. 【答案】24. B 25. A 26. B 27. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了一位名叫Rose Chin的女士在经历中风和部分瘫痪后，通过积极寻求帮助和参与轮椅篮球运动，重新找回生活乐趣和独立性的故事。 24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“She started opening up to other people and one day her social worker suggested she should try a sport.  “She mentioned the wheelchair basketball team and I decided to give it a try,” she says.(她开始向别人敞开心扉，有一天她的社工建议她尝试一项运动。“她提到轮椅篮球队，我决定试一试，”她说。)”可知，社工的建议激发了她尝试轮椅篮球的想法。故选B。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“The first two times Rose Chin arrived at the basketball court as a 65- year-old , to try out for the Inverness wheelchair team, she couldn’t make it past the doors. “I looked through the window and just thought: ‘I can’t do this,’” she says.(65岁的Rose Chin头两次来到篮球场，参加Inverness轮椅队的选拔，她都没能通过。她说:“我看着窗外，心想：‘我不能做成这件事。’)”可知，Chin在前两次尝试中经历了心里的挣扎。故选A。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“We very quickly became a little family with a WhatsApp group full of jokes(我们很快就成了一个小家庭，在WhatsApp上有一个充满笑话的群)”可知，Chin认为这支球队感觉就像一个幸福的家庭。故选B。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“I feel so independent and I know I will keep playing for as long as I can(我觉得自己很独立，我知道只要我能，我就会一直玩下去)”和“I want us to raise more money to get more equipment so we can encourage others to join.(我希望我们能筹集更多的资金来购买更多的设备，这样我们就可以鼓励其他人加入。)”可知，Chin是独立的，善良的。故选D。 C Air conditioning use has exploded in the last 30 years. According to U. S. Census data in1993, just about three- quarters of single family homes in the Midwest had air conditioning. In the West and Northeast, it was just about half. Now, all regions are pushing 100 percent air conditioning coverage. In the South, it’s been at about 100 percent since the early 1990s. As the cost of air conditioning installation has gone down, and temperatures have gone up, Americans have been offered an opportunity for a steady indoor temperature year-round, regardless of the weather outside. This drive for comfort forces us to disconnect from what’s happening all around us. A conditioned climate allows us to completely ignore the changing seasons and our warming planet. Only listening to people who agree with us — or trying to silence those who disagree — creates our own, individually conditioned realities. New York University professor and social psychologist Jonathan Haidt showed how the comforts of conveniences “atomize” our social structures. Each new technology that makes our lives easier also makes us less reliant on other people. Haidt’s big focus is on smartphones and social media, as explored in his recent book, but our society was cracking off into smaller and smaller pieces long before we had the robots in our pockets. Cars allowed us to shop in other towns, reducing reliance on local businesses. A television set gave something for people to do in the evenings, reducing the need to hang out with neighbors, and by extension, eroding community structures and institutions (often called “third places”, in contrast to work and home). Air conditioning allowed us to stay inside in the heat, limiting a play-based childhood where kids run around with each other and make their own fun. What if we all turned off the air conditioning for a bit, opened our windows, and truly experienced life as it was happening, not what we manufactured it to be? We might be a little less comfortable, but maybe a little more connected. 28. What can we infer from the first two paragraphs? A. Air conditioning easily shapes our individual personality. B. Air conditioned houses are more comfortable than others. C. Air conditioning can reduce our connection with the world. D. Air conditioning is accessible to every household in the US. 29. Why does the author mention Haidt? A. To promote his recent book. B. To illustrate technological advances. C. To praise human self- reliance. D. To reveal the harm of air conditioning. 30. What does the word “eroding” underlined in paragraph 4 refer to? A. Constructing. B. Destroying. C. Avoiding. D. Improving. 31. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Turn off Air Conditioning for a Bit B. Experience Your Life to the Fullest C. Keep Away from Air Conditioned Houses D. Never Create Our Own Conditioned Realities 【答案】28. C 29. D 30. B 31. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章指出长时间待在空调房中会导致一些问题，以及其引用对手机和社交媒体的批判，间接影射空调的危害。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“This drive for comfort forces us to disconnect from what’s happening all around us.(这种对舒适的追求迫使我们与周围发生的事情脱节)”可知，空调会减少我们与世界的联系。故选C。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“New York University professor and social psychologist Jonathan Haidt showed how the comforts of conveniences ‘atomize’ our social structures. Each new technology that makes our lives easier also makes us less reliant on other people. Haidt’s big focus is on smartphones and social media, as explored in his recent book, but our society was cracking off into smaller and smaller pieces long before we had the robots in our pockets.(纽约大学教授和社会心理学家Jonathan Haidt展示了便利的舒适是如何‘原子化’我们的社会结构的。每一项使我们的生活更轻松的新技术也使我们对他人的依赖减少。海特的重点是智能手机和社交媒体，正如他在最近的书中所探讨的那样，但早在我们口袋里有机器人之前，我们的社会就已经分裂成越来越小的碎片)”可知，作者提到海特是为了揭示空调的危害。故选D。 【30题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“A television set gave something for people to do in the evenings, reducing the need to hang out with neighbors(电视机为人们在晚上提供了一些事情，减少了与邻居一起闲逛需要)”以及后文“community structures and institutions (often called ‘third places’, in contrast to work and home)(社区结构和机构（通常被称为‘第三场所’，与工作和家庭相对）)”可知，电视机为人们在晚上提供了一些事情，减少了与邻居一起闲逛的需要，因此破坏了社区结构和机构，故划线词意思是“损害，破坏”。故选B。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“What if we all turned off the air conditioning for a bit, opened our windows, and truly experienced life as it was happening, not what we manufactured it to be? We might be a little less comfortable, but maybe a little more connected.(如果我们都关掉空调，打开窗户，真正体验真实的生活，而不是我们制造的生活，会怎么样？我们可能不太舒服，但可能更有联系)”结合文章指出长时间待在空调房中会导致一些问题，以及其引用对手机和社交媒体的批判，间接影射空调的危害。可知，A选项“暂时关掉空调”最符合文章标题。故选A。 D Mountain chickadees (山雀) have some of the strongest spacial memories in the animal kingdom. New research reveals the genes involved and sheds light on how a changing climate may influence the evolution of this particular skill. In a new study, researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder and the University of Nevada, Reno identify nearly a hundred genes associated with the birds’ spacial memory, or ability to recall the locations of objects. The paper also suggests a potential balance may exist between having a solid long- term memory and being able to quickly remove old memories to form new ones. Taylor, the director of CU Boulder’s Mountain Research Station and his associates at the University of Nevada, Reno, lead by biologist professor Vladimir Pravosudov, designed a novel technique to assess the spacial memory of wild mountain chickadees. They hung various feeder groups in California’s Sierra Nevada mountains, each with eight seed-filled bird feeders. Each feeder has a gate equipped with a radio frequency reader capable of detecting a tag placed on chickadees by researchers. The scientists then configured (设定) each gate to only open to specific birds, forcing the chickadees to remember which feeders would open to them. Pravosudov and his team then counted how many times each chickadee landed on the wrong feeders before they recalled the right one. Using blood samples, the CU Boulder team sequenced (测定序列) the whole genome of 162 tagged chickadees, resulting in the largest database ever collected for examining the genetic basis of chickade’s cognitive ability. The team discovered 97 genes involved in chickadee spacial learning and memory by comparing the birds’ genomes to their performance on the feeder test. The findings could help biologists better understand the evolution of spacial memory in animals, including humans. “Chickadees are impressive birds,” said Scott Taylor. “They can remember tens of thousands of locations where they store food across an entire winter and a new set of those the next winter. Their spacial memory is much more developed than many other birds that don’t have to have this strategy to survive cold winters.” 32. What do we know about mountain chickadees’ spacial memories? A. They are linked with a hundred relevant genes. B. They maintain a good balance in locating objects. C. They are considered powerful in the animal world. D. They might account for the slow change of climate. 33. What can a radio frequency reader do in the test? A. Lower the error rate of the chickadees. B. Count the times each chickadee failed. C. Collect the food information of a feeder. D. Identify the chickadee landing on a feeder. 34. What does paragraph 4 focus on about the study? A. Blood sampling. B. Genes involved. C. Ability comparing. D. Data gathered. 35. What does Scott Taylor imply in the last paragraph? A. Chickadees possess amazing evolutionary capability. B. Many other birds should improve their spacial memory. C. Food storage is vital to the survival of animals in winter. D. Chickadees’ spacial memory carries them through winter. 【答案】32. C 33. D 34.

She kept all seven recipes labeled with a day of the week. That day was Meatloaf Monday. Again. “It’s just, it had been Tuna Tuesdays and Spaghetti Saturdays for, like, my entire life. Not every meal had to start with the same letter as a day of the week.” My mom’s eyes flashed. But she said nothing. I knew she didn’t consider learning new recipes due to her overwhelming stress. The next day I was sitting next to Tania, whose dad was the best cook, in our school’s brand- new- since- six- months- ago kitchen classroom. Everything— the tables, the stove, the pots and pans—— shone and sparkled. I was about to ask Tania about a new recipe, but Mr. Bruin, our teacher, interrupted. “I’ve got exciting news,” he said. Exciting news? The class stopped talking and looked expectantly at Mr. Bruin. “To finish off our unit on kitchen skills, we were having a competition where you didn’t have a recipe and you had to make something with whatever ingredients the judges gave you.” An eager murmur traveled through the class. “You’ve learned a lot this term— accurate measuring, food prep, cooking techniques. Just add some creativity to the mix.” “Will there be prizes?” asked Samantha. “Absolutely! And the first-place prize was the newest book in the Cave of the Dragons series,” said Mr. Bruin, holding up a copy for everyone to see. The class erupted into squeals and cheers. Cave of the Dragons was the best book series ever! It had been sold out everywhere. During the break, all anyone could talk about was the cooking competition .“I’m totally going to win,” said Tania. “Genes, like, cooking was in my DNA.” And if there was some sort of cooking gene, my mom definitely didn’t have it. So, if I wanted to win, I needed to practise and innovate. 注意: (1) 续写词数应为150左右； (2) 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: After school, I told my mom my plan. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: The day of the competition arrived, and the kitchen classroom was filled with activity. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One Possible Version: After school, I told my mom my plan. “Tonight, we’re going to create a new recipe together,” I said, my voice filled with determination. Her eyes widened in surprise, but she quickly nodded, a spark of interest igniting in her gaze. “Alright, let’s do it. I’ve always wanted to try something new, but never had the time,” she admitted. We scoured the kitchen, pulling out ingredients that we had never combined before. As we chopped, mixed, and fried, we laughed and shared stories, creating a bond over our shared endeavor. Despite the occasional mishap, like a bit too much garlic or a slightly burnt crumb topping, we were having fun. This was more than just cooking; it was a culinary adventure that brought us closer together. The day of the competition arrived, and the kitchen classroom was filled with activity. Students were bustling around, their faces a mix of concentration and nervous energy. The air was thick with the scents of various dishes being prepared. When the judges announced the ingredients for our dishes, my heart raced. I had practiced, but this was the real test. I combined the ingredients with creativity, turning them into a dish that represented my growth as a cook. As the competition ended and the results were announced, I didn’t win first place, but I didn’t feel disappointed. I had learned something far more valuable— how to create, adapt, and enjoy the process of cooking with someone I love. My mom and I exchanged a proud smile; we had won a new recipe and the confidence to keep exploring the world of flavors. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者对母亲每周重复制作同样的饭菜感到失望，然而，他的母亲由于压力过大而不愿意学习新菜谱。在学校新开设的厨房课上，老师宣布了一个烹饪比赛，要求学生使用评委提供的食材进行创作，不能使用已有的菜谱。这个比赛激起了全班同学的热情，作者决定积极参与比赛，并意识到如果他想赢，就需要进行实践和创新。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“放学后，我告诉妈妈我的计划。”可知，第一段可描写作者和妈妈在放学后一起尝试创作新食谱的愉快经历。 ②由第二段首句内容“比赛的日子到了，厨房教室里热闹非凡。”可知，第二段可描写作者在烹饪比赛中的经历以及通过比赛所获得的深刻感悟和收获。 2.续写线索：妈妈赞同作者的计划——创作新食谱的过程——参加比赛——作者做菜——比赛结果——作者感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①承认：admit/acknowledge ②拿出：pull out/take out ③宣布：announce/declare 情绪类 ①惊讶：surprise/astonishment ②失望：disappointed/despondent 【点睛】[高分句型1] We scoured the kitchen, pulling out ingredients that we had never combined before.
