Children whose rare medical conditions have made their appearance different from others’ have little hope of finding their likeness at a toy store or even online. Knowing how important the connection could be for a child gave Pacheco an idea She decided she would design and make special dolls to donate to children with special medical conditions. To find the kids she hoped to create special dolls for, she cooperated with Fresh Start Surgical Gifts in California, a charitable organization that provides medical treatment to children who need it for free. Then Pacheco was sent pictures and profiles (简介) for a number of disabled children. She finally chose four. Before getting started Pacheco searched YouTube for doll- making classes, and learned about those children’s favorite hobbies and preferred colors. Her goal was to make sure the kids could see themselves in her creations, but she didn’t want the things that make them different from other children to be the dolls’ most obvious feature. Michelle Pius, Fresh Start’s chief development officer was impressed by the final product. “Pacheco was trying to put as much love into it as she could. It was a very kind and big-hearted gesture for her to make dolls that will help a child feel like they’re not alone. And these toys represented each child faithfully,” he said. Pacheco said, “I really value the beauty in the little things. Each of these kids is so unique, so special... I hope through these dolls they can see themselves in a new light and really love their beauty.” 4. What did Pacheco know before deciding to design and make dolls for some children? A. She is highly talented at designing toys. B. She is in need of making new friends. C. It’s difficult for kids with rare illness to freely shop. D. It’s important for kids with special appearance to find toys like them. 5. How did Pacheco find kids that need dolls? A. By referring to related information provided by a charity. B. By advertising her donation plan on the Internet. C. By visiting hospitals to look for volunteers. D. By surveying children’s need on the streets. 6. What did Pacheco do first for her project? A. She learned how to make a toy. B. She talked with the kids for their demands. C. She asked people to donate material online. D. She collected people’s advice on designing a toy. 7. What do Pius’s words mainly imply? A. Pacheco would become an outstanding toy designer. B. Pacheco would spend more time with the kids. C. She appreciated Pacheco’s work very much. D. She thought it difficult to make a toy. 【答案】4. D 5. A 6. A 7.

She decided she would design and make special dolls to donate to children with special medical conditions. (知道这种联系对一个孩子来说有多重要，帕切科有了一个想法。她决定设计和制作特殊的娃娃，捐给患有特殊疾病的儿童。)”可知，在决定为一些孩子设计和制作娃娃之前，Pacheco知道，对于长相特殊的孩子来说，找到像他们这样的玩具很重要。故选D。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“To find the kids she hoped to create special dolls for, she cooperated with Fresh Start Surgical Gifts in California, a charitable organization that provides medical treatment to children who need it for free. (为了找到她希望为之制作特殊娃娃的孩子，她与加州的慈善组织Fresh Start Surgical Gifts合作，该组织为有需要的儿童免费提供医疗服务。)”可知，为了找到她希望为之制作特殊娃娃的孩子，她与加州的慈善组织Fresh Start Surgical Gifts合作。故选A。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Before getting started, Pacheco searched YouTube for doll- making classes, and learned about those children’s favorite hobbies and preferred colors.

It was a very kind and big-hearted gesture for her to make dolls that will help a child feel like they’re not alone. And these toys represented each child faithfully,” he said. (他说：“帕切科正在尽她所能地投入更多的爱。这是一个非常善良和慷慨的举动，她做的娃娃会帮助一个孩子感到他们并不孤单。这些玩具忠实地代表了每个孩子。”)”可知，她非常欣赏帕切科的作品。故选C。 C Have you watched the popular TV series Meet Yourself? In the TV series, the heroine Xu Hongdou travels to a village in Yunnan province and volunteers at a local cafe. She gets free meals in return. As the show finds a growing audience, volunteer travel — an old-yet-modern form of travel similar to Xu’s type of work — has attracted more attention. These volunteer trips are usually arranged by church organizations, human interest groups or nonprofit organizations, and they take form of equal exchanges. During the trip, volunteer travelers often provide services like teaching, cooking, animal caring, and cultural activities. In exchange for their help, the volunteers may get free or discounted accommodations, meals and laundry activities, or classes. It seems as if these long journeys could only be made possible in recent years by modern transportation. Nevertheless, volunteer travel dates back to the 1960s, when Alec Dickson and his wife Mora from the UK founded Volunteer Service Overseas (VSO), an international volunteer organization. Traditionally, the volunteer activities take place in a foreign country. However, just as what Meet Yourself describes, more volunteer trips have taken place within the same countries or regions the volunteers live in recently. Sanlian Life week magazine commented that volunteer projects in rural areas are now attracting more urban visitors as a break from the fast and stressful pace of urban living. Yang Yan, a founder of a volunteer platform, told the magazine that it has indeed been a growing trend for urban residents to volunteer in rural areas. People try volunteer travel for several reasons. By working voluntarily while traveling, travelers may make a real, positive impact on the world. The services volunteers provide can be through charities with lower costs for the communities they serve. Another benefit of volunteer travel is that it helps urban residents to get a taste of rural life. For those who are sick of urban pressure but can’t make up their minds whether to move permanently to the countryside, volunteer travel can be a solution. 8. Why does the author mention the popular TV series Meet Yourself in the first paragraph? A. To introduce the topic. B. To persuade readers to visit Yunnan. C. To recommend a tourist attraction. D. To inform readers of the popularity of the TV series. 9. Which is a volunteer trip according to the second paragraph? A. Cooking in a charity. B. Caring animals in a zoo. C. Helping the old at a nursing home. D. Teaching in exchange for free accommodations while traveling. 10 Which of the following can drive people to work voluntarily while traveling? A. To earn money. B. To earn reputation. C. To experience rural life. D. To make up their minds to move to the countryside permanently. 11. What can be the best title for this passage? A. The Popularity of Meet Yourself B. Volunteer Trips Finds New Popularity C. Make a Difference by Volunteering D. The Popularity of Volunteer Activities 【答案】8. A 9. D 10. C 11. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章介绍了义工旅行的盛行。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句“As the show finds a growing audience, volunteer travel — an old-yet-modern form of travel similar to Xu’s type of work — has attracted more attention.(随着节目吸引了越来越多的观众，义工旅行——一种与许的作品类似的古老而现代的旅行形式——吸引了更多的关注)”可知，作者在文章开头提到Meet Yourself是为了引出“义工旅行”的话题。故选A。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“During the trip, volunteer travelers often provide services like teaching, cooking, animal caring, and cultural activities. In exchange for their help, the volunteers may get free or discounted accommodations, meals and laundry activities, or classes.(在旅途中，志愿旅行者经常提供教学、烹饪、动物护理和文化活动等服务。作为他们帮助的交换，志愿者可以获得免费或打折的住宿、餐饮和洗衣活动，或课程)”可知，教书以换取旅行期间的免费住宿是义工旅行，故选D。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“People try volunteer travel for several reasons. By working voluntarily while traveling, travelers may make a real, positive impact on the world.(人们尝试志愿者旅行有几个原因。通过在旅行中自愿工作，旅行者可以对世界产生真正的积极影响)”和“Another benefit of volunteer travel is that it helps urban residents to get a taste of rural life. For those who are sick of urban pressure but can’t make up their minds whether to move permanently to the countryside, volunteer travel can be a solution.(志愿者旅行的另一个好处是，它可以帮助城市居民体验农村生活。对于那些厌倦了城市压力，但又无法下定决心是否要永久搬到农村的人来说，志愿旅行可能是一个解决方案)”可知，想要体验农村生活会驱使人们进行义工旅行，故选C。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文内容，结合第一段最后一句“As the show finds a growing audience, volunteer travel — an old-yet-modern form of travel similar to Xu’s type of work — has attracted more attention.(随着节目吸引了越来越多的观众，义工旅行——一种与许的作品类似的古老而现代的旅行形式——吸引了更多的关注)”可知，本文主要讲电视剧《去有风的地方》带火了义工旅行，介绍了义工旅行的定义、发展和原因，故选B。 D Cows love having an open area of grassland. But in some parts of the world, this is only feasible during the summer. In the winter months, it can become too cold for cows to safely stay outside, so they are kept in a large farm building for warmth. Being kept inside is not always enjoyable for the cows, and their unhappiness is closely connected to less milk production. For this reason, some cow owners have fitted their cows with VR headsets that run a program specially. The program simulates (模 拟) grassland in summer and was designed for the way that cows get color and light. According to the National Library of Medicine, cows see red most easily but have a hard time telling the difference between blue and green. Reports from a farm in Moscow, Russia — where the VR headsets were first developed by vets — found in 2019 that the cows that used the VR headsets saw a decrease in anxiety and an improved mood. This led to an increase in milk production, which went from 5.8 gallons to 7 gallons a day. The cow owner Izzet Kocak from Aksaray, Turkey, heard about this experiment and tried the VR headsets on his cows in December 2021. When Kocak put the headsets on his cows, he found an improvement in the moods of his animals. “They are watching an area of grassland, and it helps lift their spirits. They are less stressed,” he said. The technology is now being used around the world. According to the BBC, the headsets were made specifically for the“ structural features of cow heads” by vets, and the animals were shown a “unique summer field simulation program”. The familiar sight of an area of grassland is enough to improve the mood of the animals Ministry of Agriculture of the Russian Federation says that research has shown a connection between a cow’s mood and its milk production. They said, “Examples of dairy farms from different countries show that in a calm atmosphere, the amount of milk increases greatly.” 12. What does the underlined word “feasible” probably mean in Paragraph 1? A. Influential. B. Possible. C. Necessary. D. Meaningful. 13. What’s the result of cows wearing the VR headsets? A. They could tell the difference between blue and green. B. Their milk production rose accordingly. C. Their physical health improved greatly. D. They could adapt to winter easily. 14. What’s Izzet Kocak’s possible attitude towards the VR headsets? A. Satisfied. B. Opposed. C. Indifferent. D. Concerned. 15. What concept is behind the VR headset program? A. High tech is necessary in the dairy field. B. A silent environment helps cows stay healthy. C. Natural grassland is better for the milk quality. D. A cow with good moods can produce more milk. 【答案】12. B 13. B 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了VR技术如何帮助冬季圈养的奶牛提高产奶量。 【12题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段中“In the winter months, it can become too cold for cows to safely stay outside, so they are kept in a large farm building for warmth.(在冬季，天气可能会变得太冷，以至于奶牛无法安全地待在室外，因此它们会被安置在大型的农场建筑内以保暖)”可知，在某些地方只有夏天才能为牛提供开阔的草地区域，即这种做法只有在夏天才可能实现。因此，划线词feasible在这里的意思最接近于选项B“Possible(可能的)”。故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Reports from a farm in Moscow, Russia —— where the VR headsets were first developed by vets — found in 2019 that the cows that used the VR headsets saw a decrease in anxiety and an improved mood. This led to an increase in milk production, which went from 5.8 gallons to 7 gallons a day.(来自俄罗斯莫斯科一个农场的报告——那里最初是由兽医开发出VR头盔的——在2019年发现，使用VR头盔的奶牛焦虑减少，情绪得到改善。这导致了牛奶产量的增加，从每天5.8加仑增加到了7加仑)”可知，佩戴VR头盔的结果是奶牛的产奶量相应地增加了。故选B。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“When Kocak put the headsets on his cows, he found an improvement in the moods of his animals. “They are watching an area of grassland, and it helps lift their spirits. They are less stressed,” he said.(当Kocak给他的奶牛戴上VR头盔时，他发现他的奶牛情绪有所改善。“它们看到一片草地，这有助于让它们的心情变好。它们的压力减少了，”他说)”可知，他对VR头盔的效果感到满意。故选A。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Ministry of Agriculture of the Russian Federation says that research has shown a connection between a cow’s mood and its milk production. They said, “Examples of dairy farms from different countries show that in a calm atmosphere, the amount of milk increases greatly.”(俄罗斯联邦农业部表示，研究表明奶牛的情绪与其牛奶产量之间存在联系。他们说，“不同国家的奶牛农场的例子表明，在平静的环境中，牛奶的产量会大大增加。”)”可知，奶牛的情绪与牛奶产量之间存在联系，再结合全文内容，可以推断出VR眼镜程序背后的概念是奶牛情绪良好时能够产生更多的牛奶。故选D。 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可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 While traveling in a group makes a journey fun, it can come with challenges.

If someone in your group suggests trying something you never considered before, whether it is sampling frog porridge in Singapore or riding an all-terrain vehicle(全地形车) in Mexico, be open to the new idea.(接受新的体验。如果你的团队中有人建议你尝试一些你以前从未考虑过的事情，无论是在新加坡品尝青蛙粥还是在墨西哥乘坐全地形车，你都要接受新的想法。)”可知，上文主要讲述的是要接受新的体验。选项C“Thus, you might discover something new about yourself.(因此，你可能会对自己有新的发现。)”是上文内容的自然延续，指的是接受了新想法、有了新的体验后，我们自身也会不一样。故选C。 【19题详解】 根据空前内容“Ensure everyone in your group has a way to communicate with each other.(确保团队中的每个人都有相互沟通的方式。)”可知，上文指的是团队之间的每个人都要有相互沟通的方式。选项F“If someone gets lost or the group break up, it’s easy to reconnect.(如果有人迷路了或者小组解散了，很容易重新联系起来。)”是上文内容的自然延续，指的是有了联系方式后，如果有人迷路了或者小组解散了，还可以和别人重新取得联系。故选F。 【20题详解】 根据下文“For example, you may have to wait for someone in the morning before setting out or stick around a souvenir shop until a friend finishes browsing.(例如，你可能不得不在早上出发前等待某人，或者在纪念品商店逗留直到朋友浏览完。)”可知，跟团旅行时有时候不得不多花些时间做某些事。选项G“Traveling in a group means some activities will take longer than if you did them alone.(跟团旅行意味着有些活动要比你一个人做的时间长。)”与下文内容一致，指的是跟团旅行时有时候花的时间更多。故选G。 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，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Jane was a girl who wanted to do something in the world.

In Mexico, I was a cheerful girl who loved making people laugh with my jokes and inventing fun games to play with my friends. However, when I arrived in America, I found it hard to fit in, and I became quieter. We lived in a small house with a modest yard where we grew vegetables—my responsibility. While I took pride in watching them grow, there were times when I dreamed of having a beautiful garden like my schoolmate Luella’s, with its delicate tulips (郁金香). Although Luella lived in the same neighborhood as me, we barely knew each other. It was after a tornado that Luella and I finally became close friends. The tornado struck on a Sunday afternoon.The gentle breeze transformed into a strong wind, and thick gray clouds filled the sky. Gradually, the tornado took shape, starting as a thin rope and growing into a large black funnel (漏斗). My entire family gathered in the bathroom, seeking shelter from the storm. Terrified, I sat close to my mom, knees in my chest. After the storm had passed, our worries and fears were replaced by relief that we were unharmed and that our house had remained undamaged. As I stepped outside, I witnessed the extent of the damage the tornado had caused to our neighborhood. Across the street, a tall tree had fallen, crushing Luella’s garden in front of her yellow house. We hurried over to check on it. Fortunately, her family seemed to be away at the time, and no one was injured. However, her once-beautiful garden was in ruins, with the fallen tree destroying the tulips and debris (碎片) spread everywhere. I could only imagine how heartbroken they must feel seeing this. Then my mom’s usual words rang in my ear, “It is more blessed to give than to receive,” and my family started to think about how we could help. 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。 Just at that moment, Luella’s family returned in their car. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Even after the debris was cleared, I could still sense Luella’s sorrow for her lost garden. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Just at that moment, Luella’s family returned in their car. Empathy surged within me as I saw the shock and disbelief on their faces. I couldn’t help but approach Luella, tightly holding her hands and saying, “I’m so sorry for your loss, but thankfully you’re all right.” She weakly nodded at me, still appearing puzzled by the devastating sight. My family volunteered to help hers clean up the mess, cutting down the branches and removing the fallen trees from the yard. To uplift Luella’s spirits and bring her comfort, I tried my best to cheer her up while tidying the garden with her, during which my own joyful personality seemed to revive a bit. Even after the debris was cleared, I could still sense Luella’s sorrow for her lost garden. My heart went out to her, knowing how much she had cherished those tulips that she had devoted so much energy to. Yet now, they were all gone. Determined to restore the beauty that once thrived, I suggested that we rebuild the garden. Luella agreed delightedly. With each bulb carefully planted and watered, the new tulip seedlings once again filled the garden, which symbolized the sprouting of a new friendship between us, as well as the turning that I finally got embraced by this new environment. My mom was right: it’s more blessed to give than to receive because when you give. You may receive something unexpected in return. 【解析】 【导语】文章以人物为线索展开，文章讲述了作者七岁时从墨西哥搬到美国的生活经历。在墨西哥时，她是一个开朗的女孩，喜欢和朋友开玩笑和发明有趣的游戏。但到了美国后，她发现很难融入新环境，变得安静了许多。她和同学Luella住在同一个社区，但几乎不认识对方。直到一次龙卷风袭击后，作者和Luella才成为亲密的朋友。龙卷风造成了严重的破坏，特别是Luella美丽的花园被一棵倒下的树摧毁。作者受到妈妈“给予比接受更幸福”的话的启发，开始思考如何帮助Luella。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容“就在这时，Luella的家人开着车回来了。”可知，第一段可描写作者安慰Luella并努力帮助它振作起来的过程。 ②由第二段首句内容“即使在废墟被清理干净之后，我仍然能感觉到露埃拉对她失去的花园的悲伤。”可知，第二段可描写作者和Luella一起重建花园的经过以及作者的感悟。 2.续写线索：安慰Luella——帮忙收拾残局——建议重建花园——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 帮助：help/assist 自愿做某事：volunteer to do sth./be willing to do sth. 尽力做某事：try one’s best to do sth./spare no effort to do sth. 决定做某事：be determined to do sth./make up one’s mind to do sth. 情绪类 感谢地：thankfully/gratefully 高兴地：delightedly/cheerfully 点睛】[高分句型1] My heart went out to her, knowing how much she had cherished those tulips that she had devoted so much energy to.（运用了现在分词作状语，how much引导宾语从句，that引导定语从句） [高分句型2] With each bulb carefully planted and watered, the new tulip seedlings once again filled the garden, which symbolized the sprouting of a new friendship between us, as well as the turning that I finally got embraced by this new environment.（运用了with的复合结构，which引导非限制性定语从句，that引导限制性定语从句） 1-5 ABCAB 6-10 BCBCA 11-15 CBACB 16-20 ABCCA 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024 年高二 9 月起点考试 高二英语试卷 注意事项： 1. 答题前，先将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在试卷和答题卡上，并将准考证号条形码粘贴在答题卡上的指定位置。 2. 选择题的作答：每小题选出答案后，用 2B 铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。写在试卷、草稿纸和答题卡上的非答题区域均无效。 3. 非选择题的作答：用黑色签字笔直接答在答题卡上对应的答题区域内。写在试卷、草稿纸和答题卡上的非答题区域均无效。 4. 考试结束后，请将本试卷和答题卡一并上交。 第一部分听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

B Children find comfort and connection playing with dolls that look like them, but until recently, finding diversity when shopping for them has been difficult. Children whose rare medical conditions have made their appearance different from others’ have little hope of finding their likeness at a toy store or even online. Knowing how important the connection could be for a child gave Pacheco an idea. She decided she would design and make special dolls to donate to children with special medical conditions. To find the kids she hoped to create special dolls for, she cooperated with Fresh Start Surgical Gifts in California, a charitable organization that provides medical treatment to children who need it for free. Then Pacheco was sent pictures and profiles (简介) for a number of disabled children. She finally chose four. Before getting started, Pacheco searched YouTube for doll- making classes, and learned about those children’s favorite hobbies and preferred colors. Her goal was to make sure the kids could see themselves in her creations, but she didn’t want the things that make them different from other children to be the dolls’ most obvious feature. Michelle Pius, Fresh Start’s chief development officer was impressed by the final product. “Pacheco was trying to put as much love into it as she could. It was a very kind and big-hearted gesture for her to make dolls that will help a child feel like they’re not alone. And these toys represented each child faithfully,” he said. Pacheco said, “I really value the beauty in the little things. Each of these kids is so unique, so special... I hope through these dolls they can see themselves in a new light and really love their beauty.” 4. What did Pacheco know before deciding to design and make dolls for some children? A. She is highly talented at designing toys. B. She is in need of making new friends. C. It’s difficult for kids with rare illness to freely shop. D. It’s important for kids with special appearance to find toys like them. 5. How did Pacheco find kids that need dolls? A. By referring to related information provided by a charity. B. By advertising her donation plan on the Internet. C. By visiting hospitals to look for volunteers. D. By surveying children’s need on the streets. 6. What did Pacheco do first for her project? A. She learned how to make a toy. B. She talked with the kids for their demands. C. She asked people to donate material online. D. She collected people’s advice on designing a toy. 7. What do Pius’s words mainly imply? A. Pacheco would become an outstanding toy designer. B. Pacheco would spend more time with the kids. C. She appreciated Pacheco’s work very much. D. She thought it difficult to make a toy. C Have you watched the popular TV series Meet Yourself? In the TV series, the heroine Xu Hongdou travels to a village in Yunnan province and volunteers at a local cafe. She gets free meals in return. As the show finds a growing audience, volunteer travel — an old-yet-modern form of travel similar to Xu’s type of work — has attracted more attention. These volunteer trips are usually arranged by church organizations, human interest groups or nonprofit organizations, and they take form of equal exchanges. During the trip, volunteer travelers often provide services like teaching, cooking, animal caring, and cultural activities. In exchange for their help, the volunteers may get free or discounted accommodations, meals and laundry activities, or classes. It seems as if these long journeys could only be made possible in recent years by modern transportation. Nevertheless, volunteer travel dates back to the 1960s, when Alec Dickson and his wife Mora from the UK founded Volunteer Service Overseas (VSO), an international volunteer organization. Traditionally, the volunteer activities take place in a foreign country. However, just as what Meet Yourself describes, more volunteer trips have taken place within the same countries or regions the volunteers live in recently. Sanlian Life week magazine commented that volunteer projects in rural areas are now attracting more urban visitors as a break from the fast and stressful pace of urban living. Yang Yan, a founder of a volunteer platform, told the magazine that it has indeed been a growing trend for urban residents to volunteer in rural areas. People try volunteer travel for several reasons. By working voluntarily while traveling, travelers may make a real, positive impact on the world. The services volunteers provide can be through charities with lower costs for the communities they serve. Another benefit of volunteer travel is that it helps urban residents to get a taste of rural life. For those who are sick of urban pressure but can’t make up their minds whether to move permanently to the countryside, volunteer travel can be a solution. 8. Why does the author mention the popular TV series Meet Yourself in the first paragraph? A. To introduce the topic. B. To persuade readers to visit Yunnan. C. To recommend a tourist attraction. D. To inform readers of the popularity of the TV series. 9. Which is a volunteer trip according to the second paragraph? A. Cooking in a charity. B. Caring animals in a zoo. C. Helping the old at a nursing home. D. Teaching in exchange for free accommodations while traveling. 10. Which of the following can drive people to work voluntarily while traveling? A. To earn money. B. To earn reputation. C. To experience rural life. D. To make up their minds to move to the countryside permanently. 11. What can be the best title for this passage? A. The Popularity of Meet Yourself B. Volunteer Trips Finds New Popularity C. Make a Difference by Volunteering D. The Popularity of Volunteer Activities D Cows love having an open area of grassland. But in some parts of the world, this is only feasible during the summer. In the winter months, it can become too cold for cows to safely stay outside, so they are kept in a large farm building for warmth. Being kept inside is not always enjoyable for the cows, and their unhappiness is closely connected to less milk production. For this reason, some cow owners have fitted their cows with VR headsets that run a program specially. The program simulates (模 拟) grassland in summer and was designed for the way that cows get color and light. According to the National Library of Medicine, cows see red most easily but have a hard time telling the difference between blue and green. Reports from a farm in Moscow, Russia — where the VR headsets were first developed by vets — found in 2019 that the cows that used the VR headsets saw a decrease in anxiety and an improved mood. This led to an increase in milk production, which went from 5.8 gallons to 7 gallons a day. The cow owner Izzet Kocak from Aksaray, Turkey, heard about this experiment and tried the VR headsets on his cows in December 2021. When Kocak put the headsets on his cows, he found an improvement in the moods of his animals. “They are watching an area of grassland, and it helps lift their spirits. They are less stressed,” he said. The technology is now being used around the world. According to the BBC, the headsets were made specifically for the“ structural features of cow heads” by vets, and the animals were shown a “unique summer field simulation program”.

In Mexico, I was a cheerful girl who loved making people laugh with my jokes and inventing fun games to play with my friends. However, when I arrived in America, I found it hard to fit in, and I became quieter. We lived in a small house with a modest yard where we grew vegetables—my responsibility. While I took pride in watching them grow, there were times when I dreamed of having a beautiful garden like my schoolmate Luella’s, with its delicate tulips (郁金香). Although Luella lived in the same neighborhood as me, we barely knew each other. It was after a tornado that Luella and I finally became close friends. The tornado struck on a Sunday afternoon.The gentle breeze transformed into a strong wind, and thick gray clouds filled the sky. Gradually, the tornado took shape, starting as a thin rope and growing into a large black funnel (漏斗). My entire family gathered in the bathroom, seeking shelter from the storm. Terrified, I sat close to my mom, knees in my chest. After the storm had passed, our worries and fears were replaced by relief that we were unharmed and that our house had remained undamaged. As I stepped outside, I witnessed the extent of the damage the tornado had caused to our neighborhood. Across the street, a tall tree had fallen, crushing Luella’s garden in front of her yellow house. We hurried over to check on it. Fortunately, her family seemed to be away at the time, and no one was injured. However, her once-beautiful garden was in ruins, with the fallen tree destroying the tulips and debris (碎片) spread everywhere. I could only imagine how heartbroken they must feel seeing this. Then my mom’s usual words rang in my ear, “It is more blessed to give than to receive,” and my family started to think about how we could help. 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。 Just at that moment, Luella’s family returned in their car. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Even after the debris was cleared, I could still sense Luella’s sorrow for her lost garden. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1-5 ABCAB 6-10 BCBCA 11-15 CBACB 16-20 ABCCA 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
