The photo was taken by Valerio, a young photographer of Turin, Italy. It was shot on the evening of December 15, 2023. While he knew about NASA’s competition, he hadn’t considered participating until receiving much encouragement from his social media followers. Soon after, he received the message, “Your image has been chosen as the astronomical photo of the day.” It was incredible! In a photo like this, nothing is left to luck. The concept came to him back in 2017. Walking on the hills north of Turin, he found several spots perfect for including both the Basilica of Superga Palace and Mountain Monviso. After numerous visits over several months, he identified four spots where Superga and Monviso line up just right. After exactly finding these locations, he experimented with shooting them at different times. “I knew I needed something special to perfect the photo. The Sun was a no-go, so I turned to the Moon. Its various phases (位相) and positions reach an azimuth angle (方位角) of 230 degrees,” Valerio said. With this in mind, he researched the Moon’s phases, marked potential dates on the calendar, and planned the exact moments when the moon could join the queue. It was very successful, especially because the Moon was in a waning phase. This meant that in the photo, not only was its crescent (新月) lit up, but so was the left part, its shadowed side. That part is lit by reflected light, also known as Da Vinci’s glow, named after him because he was the one who theorized about why the Moon’s shadowed side is brightened. During the early days of the waning Moon phases, the shadowed part is visible because the Sun’s light reflects off the Earth and hits the Moon’s shadowed side, giving it a greyish, silvery color. This allowed the light to outline Monviso on the left as well. 4. Why did Valerio send the photo to NASA? A. He developed an interest in astronomical advances. B. He expected to encourage followers on social media. C. He received broad support from enthusiastic fans. D. He got a message of invitation from NASA. 5. In Valerio’s photo, the three objects ________. A. shine light on each other B. stand in a straight line C. fit each other in size D. vary from usual in color 6. What did Valerio do to prepare for the perfect photo? A. Studying how the Moon phase changes. B. Pay numerous visits to the spots for good luck C. Analyzing when to adjust the camera angle. D. Measuring the height of the observation point. 7. What was lit up by the Da Vinci’s glow? A. The outline of the crescent. B. The outline of Superga. C. The dark side of the Moon. D. The shadowed side of the Earth. C Geologists have long been fascinated by a missing piece of Earth’s history — a lost continent called Argoland. Around 155 million years ago, the 5,000-kilometer continent broke off from Western Australia and began drifting (漂移), leaving behind a basin deep below the ocean known as the Argo Abyssal Plain. But where did Argoland actually go? The seabed structure suggests that the continent drifted northwestward and ended up Southeast Asia. But surprisingly, there is no large continent hidden beneath those islands, only small continental fragments (碎片) surrounded by ancient oceanic basins. Using this theory, geologists at Utrecht University discovered that Argoland hadn’t really disappeared but survived as a “very extended and fragmented collection” under the islands to the east of Indonesia. Unlike other continents like Africa and South America, which broke neatly into two pieces, Argoland split into many smaller fragments that were dispersed, which made it difficult for scientists to locate and study the continent’s geological features. However, with advanced technology and the discovery, scientists can now piece them together. Tracing the continents is vital for understanding processes like the evolution of biodiversity. It could help explain something known as the mysterious Wallace line, which is an imaginary boundary that separates mammals, birds, and even early human species in Southeast Asian islands. The boundary has puzzled scientists because of how clearly it separates the island’s wildlife. To the west of the line are placental mammals (胎盘哺乳动物) like apes and elephants. But these are almost completely absent to the east, where you can find animals typically associated with Australia. Researchers have theorized that this may be because Argoland carried its own wildlife away from Australia before it crashed into Southeast Asia, which helps explain why different species are found in different nations. The story of Argoland is not one of complete disappearance but of transformation. As the world continues to evolve, this lost continent serves as a powerful symbol of the breakability of life on this planet, and a reminder of the importance of respecting and protecting the world that we live in. 8. What do we know about Argoland? A. It split into two pieces many years ago. B. It broke away from the African continent. C. It sank to the bottom of the Argo Abyssal Plain. D. It exists as fragments under the eastern islands of Indonesia. 9. What does the underlined word “dispersed” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Crashed. B. Distributed. C. Connected. D. Distinguished. 10. Why does the author mention the “Wallace line” in paragraph 4? A. To explain an unsolved mystery for scientist. B. To stress the significance of tracing Argoland. C. To prove the biodiversity of Southeast Asian islands. D. To introduce the evolutionary process of Australian species. 11. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. The Discovery of a Lost Continent B. The Mysterious Disappearance of Argoland C. The Theory of Fragments Drifting D. The Breakability of Life on the Earth D When we encounter a troublesome problem, we often gather a group to brainstorm. However, substantial evidence has shown that when we generate ideas together, we fail to maximize collective intelligence. To unearth the hidden potential in teams, we’re better off shifting to a process called “brainwriting”. You start by asking group members to write down what is going on in their brains separately. Next, you pool them and share them among the group without telling the authors. Then, each member evaluates them on his or her own, only after which do the team members come together to select and improve the most promising options. By developing and assessing ideas individually before choosing and expanding on them, the team can surface and advance possibilities that might not get attention otherwise. An example of great brainwriting was in 2010 when 33 miners were trapped underground in Chile. Given the urgency of the situation, the rescue team didn’t hold brainstorming sessions. Rather, they established a global brainwriting system to generate individual ideas. A 24-year-old engineer came up with a tiny plastic telephone. This specialized tool ended up becoming the only means of communicating with the miners, making it possible to save them. Research by organizational behavior scholar Anita Woolley and her colleagues helps to explain why this method works. They find that the key to collective intelligence is balanced participation. In brainstorming meetings, it’s too easy for participation to become one-sided in favor of the loudest voices. The brainwriting process ensures that all ideas are brought to the table and all voices are brought into conversation. The goal isn’t to be the smartest person in the room. It’s to make the room smarter. Collective intelligence begins with individual creativity, but it doesn’t end there. Individuals produce a greater volume and variety of novel ideas when they work alone. That means they not only come up with more brilliant ideas than groups but also more terrible ideas. Therefore, it takes collective judgment to find the signal in the noise and bring out the best ideas. 12. What is special about brainwriting compared with brainstorming? A. It highlights independent work. B. It encourages group cooperation. C. It prioritizes quality over quantity. D. It prefers writing to oral exchanges. 13. Why does the author mention the Chile mining accident in paragraph 3? A. To introduce a tool developed during brainwriting. B. To praise a young man with brainwriting technique. C. To illustrate a successful application of brainwriting. D. To explain the role of brainwriting in communication. 14. How does brainwriting promote collective intelligence according to paragraph 4? A. By blocking the loudest voices. B. By allowing equal involvement. C. By improving individual wisdom. D. By generating more creative ideas. 15. Which step of brainwriting does the author stress in the last paragraph? A. Individual writing. B. Group sharing. C. Personal evaluation. D. Joint discussion. 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可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Accents in English Accents are fascinating and usually come with kinds of information. ____16____. So many people, especially actors, are interested in learning accents. Thanks to the development of technology various handy accesses are available for people to share and pick up accents. English actor and accent coach Sarah Valentine is an expert in teaching the tones which can change the English language. ____17____. Valentine has been working in TV since the 1990s. She appears to have found success coaching other actors to speak in a variety of dialects. ____18____, TikTok is a medium to educate the masses. Valentine’s TikTok takes simple phrases, such as “I’m hungry” or “the milk smells funny”. Valentine then repeats these simple words in accents including German, Dutch, and New York. She also highlights the rich variety of dialects within the UK, including Yorkshire, Scouse, Cockney, Geordie, Welsh, and Northern Irish. “____19____,” James Lantolf, a professor at Penn State, said. “Isolated (偏僻的) areas, such as New Orleans, develop different dialects. Since there is no contact between regions, entire words and languages can grow and develop independently. Social standing and education also affect the language of an individual person.” It is thought that accents have psycho-social purposes, allowing individuals to identify oneself and others as part of a group. Everyone has an accent. A dialect coach like Valentine can help one learn to speak differently, for an acting job or for fun. ____20____. Learning a second language as an adult is difficult; for much the same reason, it’s tricky to change your accent. With that in mind, watching Valentine change accents at the drop of a hat is all the more impressive. A. In fact, all accents are worthy of pride B. One’s birthplace can affect his accent C. However, not all accents are worth learning D. While much work with actors is done in one-on-one coaching E. They can signal one’s living places, education and personality F. On TikTok, she gives examples of simple phrases repeated in over 20 accents G. A region’s location has a direct influence on the development of a local language 第三部分 英语知识运用（共三节,满分40分） 第一节 完型填空（共15小题;每小题1分,满分15分） 阅读下面短文, 从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中, 选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Novels.

Then, for A-levels and a degree, I read to pass ___25___. When those last exams were done, more than 30 years ago, I was done with novels. I had ___26___ love.

For some reason I ____30____ The Tenant of Wildfell Hall by Anne Bronte. The ____31____ soon starts to fade, and all you are left with is how it made you feel. This is nice, but what makes it all worthwhile is those specific ____32____ that I make sure to harvest and go back to. For instance, Helen says of her new life in the big city: “At first, I was ____33____ with the novelty and excitement of our London life, but soon I began to be tired of its unrest.” A few months later, I ____34____ Anne Bronte’s resting place in Scarborough.

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. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力 1—5 BABCB 6—10 ABBAB 11—15 CCBAC 16—20 AACAC 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 大庆实验中学实验一部2023级高（二）上学期开学考试 英语试题 说明：1. 请将答案填涂在答题卡的指定区域内。 2. 满分150分,考试时间120分钟。 第一部分 听力（共两节,满分20分） 第一节（共5小题;每小题1分,满分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,并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后,你都有10秒中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.

The photo was taken by Valerio, a young photographer of Turin, Italy. It was shot on the evening of December 15, 2023. While he knew about NASA’s competition, he hadn’t considered participating until receiving much encouragement from his social media followers. Soon after, he received the message, “Your image has been chosen as the astronomical photo of the day.” It was incredible! In a photo like this, nothing is left to luck. The concept came to him back in 2017. Walking on the hills north of Turin, he found several spots perfect for including both the Basilica of Superga Palace and Mountain Monviso. After numerous visits over several months, he identified four spots where Superga and Monviso line up just right. After exactly finding these locations, he experimented with shooting them at different times. “I knew I needed something special to perfect the photo. The Sun was a no-go, so I turned to the Moon. Its various phases (位相) and positions reach an azimuth angle (方位角) of 230 degrees,” Valerio said. With this in mind, he researched the Moon’s phases, marked potential dates on the calendar, and planned the exact moments when the moon could join the queue. It was very successful, especially because the Moon was in a waning phase. This meant that in the photo, not only was its crescent (新月) lit up, but so was the left part, its shadowed side. That part is lit by reflected light, also known as Da Vinci’s glow, named after him because he was the one who theorized about why the Moon’s shadowed side is brightened. During the early days of the waning Moon phases, the shadowed part is visible because the Sun’s light reflects off the Earth and hits the Moon’s shadowed side, giving it a greyish, silvery color. This allowed the light to outline Monviso on the left as well. 4. Why did Valerio send the photo to NASA? A. He developed an interest in astronomical advances. B. He expected to encourage followers on social media. C. He received broad support from enthusiastic fans. D. He got a message of invitation from NASA. 5. In Valerio’s photo the three objects ________. A. shine light on each other B. stand in a straight line C. fit each other in size D. vary from usual in color 6. What did Valerio do to prepare for the perfect photo? A. Studying how the Moon phase changes. B. Pay numerous visits to the spots for good luck C. Analyzing when to adjust the camera angle. D. Measuring the height of the observation point. 7. What was lit up by the Da Vinci’s glow? A. The outline of the crescent. B. The outline of Superga. C. The dark side of the Moon. D. The shadowed side of the Earth. 【答案】4. C 5. B 6. A 7. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲的是年轻摄影师瓦莱里奥的天文照片被美国宇航局选中以及其拍摄天文照片的经过。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“While he knew about NASA’s competition, he hadn’t considered participating until receiving much encouragement from his social media followers.(虽然他知道美国宇航局的比赛，但直到收到社交媒体粉丝的大力鼓励，他才考虑参加比赛。)”可知，瓦莱里奥把照片发给美国宇航局是因为他得到了热情粉丝的广泛支持。故选C。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“After numerous visits over several months, he identified four spots where Superga and Monviso line up just right.(经过几个月的多次访问，他确定了四个位置，在那里Superga和Monviso恰好对齐。)”，第四段“Its various phases and positions reach an azimuth angle (方位角) of 230 degrees(它的不同相位和位置的方位角达到230度)”以及“With this in mind, he researched the Moon’s phases, marked potential dates on the calendar, and planned the exact moments when the moon could join the queue.(考虑到这一点，他研究了月亮的相位，在日历上标记了可能的日期，并计划了月亮可能加入队列的确切时刻。)”可知，在瓦莱里奥的照片中，这三个物体位于一条直线上。故选B。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“With this in mind, he researched the Moon’s phases, marked potential dates on the calendar, and planned the exact moments when the moon could join the queue.(考虑到这一点，他研究了月亮的相位，在日历上标记了可能的日期，并计划了月亮可能加入队列的确切时刻。)”可知，为了拍出一张完美的照片，瓦莱里奥研究月相的变化。故选A。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“That part is lit by reflected light, also known as Da Vinci’s glow, named after him because he was the one who theorized about why the Moon’s shadowed side is brightened.(这部分是由反射光照亮的，也被称为达•芬奇的光芒，以他的名字命名，因为他提出了月球的阴暗面为什么会变亮的理论。)”可知，达•芬奇的光芒照亮了月球的阴暗面。故选C。 C Geologists have long been fascinated by a missing piece of Earth’s history — a lost continent called Argoland. Around 155 million years ago, the 5,000-kilometer continent broke off from Western Australia and began drifting (漂移), leaving behind a basin deep below the ocean known as the Argo Abyssal Plain. But where did Argoland actually go? The seabed structure suggests that the continent drifted northwestward and ended up Southeast Asia. But surprisingly, there is no large continent hidden beneath those islands, only small continental fragments (碎片) surrounded by ancient oceanic basins. Using this theory, geologists at Utrecht University discovered that Argoland hadn’t really disappeared but survived as a “very extended and fragmented collection” under the islands to the east of Indonesia. Unlike other continents like Africa and South America, which broke neatly into two pieces, Argoland split into many smaller fragments that were dispersed, which made it difficult for scientists to locate and study the continent’s geological features. However, with advanced technology and the discovery, scientists can now piece them together. Tracing the continents is vital for understanding processes like the evolution of biodiversity. It could help explain something known as the mysterious Wallace line, which is an imaginary boundary that separates mammals, birds, and even early human species in Southeast Asian islands. The boundary has puzzled scientists because of how clearly it separates the island’s wildlife. To the west of the line are placental mammals (胎盘哺乳动物) like apes and elephants. But these are almost completely absent to the east, where you can find animals typically associated with Australia. Researchers have theorized that this may be because Argoland carried its own wildlife away from Australia before it crashed into Southeast Asia, which helps explain why different species are found in different nations. The story of Argoland is not one of complete disappearance but of transformation. As the world continues to evolve, this lost continent serves as a powerful symbol of the breakability of life on this planet, and a reminder of the importance of respecting and protecting the world that we live in. 8. What do we know about Argoland? A. It split into two pieces many years ago. B It broke away from the African continent. C. It sank to the bottom of the Argo Abyssal Plain. D. It exists as fragments under the eastern islands of Indonesia. 9. What does the underlined word “dispersed” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Crashed. B. Distributed. C. Connected. D. Distinguished. 10. Why does the author mention the “Wallace line” in paragraph 4? A. To explain an unsolved mystery for scientist. B. To stress the significance of tracing Argoland. C. To prove the biodiversity of Southeast Asian islands. D. To introduce the evolutionary process of Australian species. 11. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. The Discovery of a Lost Continent B. The Mysterious Disappearance of Argoland C. The Theory of Fragments Drifting D. The Breakability of Life on the Earth 【答案】8. D 9. B 10. B 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本篇文章主要围绕科学家发现了1.55亿年前“消失的”阿尔戈大陆而展开。文章解释了阿尔戈大陆早年从澳大利亚大陆分离，往西北方向漂移，最终在印度尼西亚岛屿的东部以广泛分散的碎片形式被发现。这一发现对于科学家们研究生物多样性以及东南亚岛屿上神秘的华莱士线都有着重要的意义。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Using this theory, geologists at Utrecht University discovered that Argoland hadn’t really disappeared but survived as a “very extended and fragmented collection” under the islands to the east of Indonesia. (利用这一理论，乌特勒支大学的地质学家发现，阿尔戈大陆并没有真正消失，而是作为一个“非常广泛并分散的集合体”存在于印度尼西亚东部的岛屿下方。)”可知，阿尔戈大陆是以碎片的形式存在于印度尼西亚东部岛屿之下。故选D项。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据画线词上文“Unlike other continents like Africa and South America, which broke neatly into two pieces, Argoland split into many smaller fragments(不像非洲和南美洲那样是整齐地分裂成两部分，阿尔戈兰大陆分裂成许多较小的碎片)”可知，阿尔戈大陆不像非洲和南美洲那样是整齐地分裂成两部分，阿尔戈兰大陆分裂成许多较小的碎片，再结合画线词下文“which made it difficult for scientists to locate and study the continent’s geological features.(这使得科学家很难确定它的位置并研究它的地质特征。)”可知，这使得科学家很难确定它的位置并研究它的地质特征。然而，利用先进的技术和这项新发现，科学家们现在能够将它们拼凑起来。故画线词所在句应表示阿尔戈大陆分裂成许多“分散的”小碎片，故划线词与B项“Distributed(分散的)意思相近，符合语境。故选B项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Tracing the continents is vital for understanding processes like the evolution of biodiversity. It could help explain something known as the mysterious Wallace line, which is an imaginary boundary that separates mammals, birds, and even early human species in Southeast Asian islands. The boundary has puzzled scientists because of how clearly it separates the island’s wildlife. To the west of the line are placental mammals(胎盘哺乳动物) like apes and elephants. But these are almost completely absent to the east, where you can find animals typically associated with Australia. Researchers have theorized that this may be because Argoland carried its own wildlife away from Australia before it crashed into Southeast Asia, which helps explain why different species are found in different nations. (追溯大陆的变迁对于我们理解生物多样性的发展过程至关重要。这有助于解释神秘的华莱士线，它是一条虚构的边界，将东南亚岛屿上的哺乳动物、鸟类甚至早期人类物种分隔开来。这条边界之所以令科学家困惑，是因为它清晰地划分了岛屿上的野生动物。在这条线的西侧是类似猿和大象的胎盘哺乳动物，但这些动物在该线的东侧几乎完全不存在，取而代之的是有袋类动物和凤头鹦鹉等通常与澳大利亚相关联的动物。研究人员推测，这可能是因为阿尔戈大陆带着自己的野生动物从澳大利亚漂移至东南亚，这有助于解释为什么不同的物种分布在不同的国家。)”可推知，第四段提及“华莱士线”旨在强调追溯阿尔戈大陆的意义，将东南亚岛屿上的哺乳动物、鸟类甚至早期人类物种分隔开来。故选B项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Geologists have long been fascinated by a missing piece of Earth’s history—a lost continent called Argoland. Around 155 million years ago, the 5,000-kilometer continent broke off from Western Australia and began drifting(漂移), leaving behind a basin deep below the ocean known as the Argo Abyssal Plain. But where did Argoland actually go? (长期以来，地质学家一直对地球历史上缺失的一段历史着迷——一块名为阿尔戈兰的失落大陆。大约1.55亿年前，这块5000公里长的大陆从西澳大利亚分离出来，开始漂流，在海洋深处留下了一个盆地，被称为阿尔戈深海平原。但阿尔戈兰到底去了哪里？)”并结合本篇文章主要围绕科学家发现了1.55亿年前“消失的”阿尔戈大陆而展开可知，文章解释了阿尔戈大陆早年从澳大利亚大陆分离，往西北方向漂移，最终在印度尼西亚岛屿的东部以广泛分散的碎片形式被发现。这一发现对于科学家们研究生物多样性以及东南亚岛屿上神秘的华莱士线都有着重要的意义。故A项“消失的大陆的发现”符合文章主旨。故选A项。 D When we encounter a troublesome problem, we often gather a group to brainstorm. However, substantial evidence has shown that when we generate ideas together, we fail to maximize collective intelligence. To unearth the hidden potential in teams, we’re better off shifting to a process called “brainwriting”. You start by asking group members to write down what is going on in their brains separately. Next, you pool them and share them among the group without telling the authors. Then, each member evaluates them on his or her own, only after which do the team members come together to select and improve the most promising options. By developing and assessing ideas individually before choosing and expanding on them, the team can surface and advance possibilities that might not get attention otherwise. An example of great brainwriting was in 2010 when 33 miners were trapped underground in Chile. Given the urgency of the situation, the rescue team didn’t hold brainstorming sessions. Rather, they established a global brainwriting system to generate individual ideas. A 24-year-old engineer came up with a tiny plastic telephone. This specialized tool ended up becoming the only means of communicating with the miners, making it possible to save them. Research by organizational behavior scholar Anita Woolley and her colleagues helps to explain why this method works. They find that the key to collective intelligence is balanced participation. In brainstorming meetings, it’s too easy for participation to become one-sided in favor of the loudest voices. The brainwriting process ensures that all ideas are brought to the table and all voices are brought into conversation. The goal isn’t to be the smartest person in the room. It’s to make the room smarter. Collective intelligence begins with individual creativity, but it doesn’t end there. Individuals produce a greater volume and variety of novel ideas when they work alone. That means they not only come up with more brilliant ideas than groups but also more terrible ideas. Therefore, it takes collective judgment to find the signal in the noise and bring out the best ideas. 12. What is special about brainwriting compared with brainstorming? A. It highlights independent work. B. It encourages group cooperation. C. It prioritizes quality over quantity. D. It prefers writing to oral exchanges. 13. Why does the author mention the Chile mining accident in paragraph 3? A. To introduce a tool developed during brainwriting. B. To praise a young man with brainwriting technique. C To illustrate a successful application of brainwriting. D. To explain the role of brainwriting in communication. 14. How does brainwriting promote collective intelligence according to paragraph 4? A. By blocking the loudest voices. B. By allowing equal involvement. C. By improving individual wisdom. D. By generating more creative ideas. 15. Which step of brainwriting does the author stress in the last paragraph? A. Individual writing. B. Group sharing. C. Personal evaluation. D. Joint discussion. 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. B 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。大量证据表明，当我们运用头脑风暴共同产生想法时，我们无法最大限度地提高集体智慧。为了挖掘团队中隐藏的潜力，我们最好进行“书面头脑风暴法”。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“You start by asking group members to write down what is going on in their brains separately. Next, you pool them and share them among the group without telling the authors. Then, each member evaluates them on his or her own, only after which do the team members come together to select and improve the most promising options. (你首先要求小组成员分别写下他们大脑中发生的事情。接下来，你将它们汇集在一起，并在不告诉作者的情况下在小组中共享。然后，每个成员自己对其进行评估，只有在评估之后，团队成员才会聚集在一起，选择并改进最有希望的选项。)”可知，与头脑风暴相比，书面头脑风暴法的特别之处在于它强调独立工作。故选A。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段的首句“An example of great brainwriting was in 2010 when 33 miners were trapped underground in Chile. (2010年，智利有33名矿工被困井下，这就是一个伟大的脑力写作的例子。)”可推知，作者在本段提到智利的采矿事故是为了说明书面头脑风暴法的成功应用。故选C。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“The brainwriting process ensures that all ideas are brought to the table and all voices are brought into conversation. The goal isn’t to be the smartest person in the room. (书面头脑风暴法确保所有的想法都能被带到桌面上，所有的声音都能被带入对话。我们的目标不是成为房间里最聪明的人。)”可知，书面头脑风暴法要求每个人都参与，贡献自己的智慧。因此，通过允许平等参与促进集体智力。故选B。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段内容“Collective intelligence begins with individual creativity, but it doesn’t end there. Individuals produce a greater volume and variety of novel ideas when they work alone. That means they not only come up with more brilliant ideas than groups but also more terrible ideas. Therefore, it takes collective judgment to find the signal in the noise and bring out the best ideas. (集体智慧始于个人创造力，但它并没有就此结束。当个人独自工作时，他们会产生更多的新颖想法。这意味着他们不仅提出了比团体更聪明的想法，而且提出了更可怕的想法。因此，需要集体判断才能在噪声中找到信号并提出最佳想法。)”可知，集体智慧始于个人创造力，但是在个人产生想法后，要有集体判断才能得到最佳想法。因此本段强调了共同讨论的重要性。故选D。 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可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Accents in English Accents are fascinating and usually come with kinds of information. ____16____. So many people, especially actors, are interested in learning accents. Thanks to the development of technology, various handy accesses are available for people to share and pick up accents. English actor and accent coach Sarah Valentine is an expert in teaching the tones which can change the English language. ____17____. Valentine has been working in TV since the 1990s. She appears to have found success coaching other actors to speak in a variety of dialects. ____18____, TikTok is a medium to educate the masses. Valentine’s TikTok takes simple phrases, such as “I’m hungry” or “the milk smells funny”. Valentine then repeats these simple words in accents including German, Dutch, and New York. She also highlights the rich variety of dialects within the UK, including Yorkshire, Scouse, Cockney, Geordie, Welsh, and Northern Irish. “____19____,” James Lantolf, a professor at Penn State, said. “Isolated (偏僻的) areas, such as New Orleans, develop different dialects. Since there is no contact between regions, entire words and languages can grow and develop independently. Social standing and education also affect the language of an individual person.” It is thought that accents have psycho-social purposes, allowing individuals to identify oneself and others as part of a group. Everyone has an accent. A dialect coach like Valentine can help one learn to speak differently, for an acting job or for fun. ____20____. Learning a second language as an adult is difficult; for much the same reason, it’s tricky to change your accent. With that in mind, watching Valentine change accents at the drop of a hat is all the more impressive. A. In fact, all accents are worthy of pride B. One’s birthplace can affect his accent C. However, not all accents are worth learning D. While much work with actors is done in one-on-one coaching E. They can signal one’s living places, education and personality F. On TikTok, she gives examples of simple phrases repeated in over 20 accents G. A region’s location has a direct influence on the development of a local language 【答案】16. E 17. F 18. D 19. G 20. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是口音往往可以反映出一个人的成长环境和教育背景，事实上英语也有很多种方言。 【16题详解】 根据空前的“Accents are fascinating and usually come with kinds of information.(口音很迷人，通常伴随着各种各样的信息。)”可知，口音反映出很多个人信息，结合空后的“So many people, especially actors, are interested in learning accents.(所以，很多人，尤其是演员，都对学习方言感兴趣。)”可知，很多人对口音感兴趣，由此可推断，此空应继续介绍方言的情况，E选项“They can signal one’s living places, education and personality(它们可以表明一个人的居住地点、教育程度和个性)”中的they指的是空前的“kinds of information”，指明这些具体信息包括living places，education和Personality等，且与空后的内容形成因果关系，符合逻辑。故选E项。 【17题详解】 根据空前的“English actor and accent coach Sarah Valentine is an expert in teaching the tones which can change the English language.(英国演员兼口音教练萨拉·瓦伦丁是教授可以改变英语语言的音调的专家。)”可知，萨拉·瓦伦丁是教授可以改变英语语言的音调的专家，F选项“On TikTok, she gives examples of simple phrases repeated in over 20 accents.(在TikTok上，她给出了用20多种口音重复的简单短语的例子)”是对空前内容的进一步说明，其中的she指的是空前的“Sarah Valentine”。故选F项。 【18题详解】 分析空格后半句话可知，此空处应是带有连词的从句，或者是短语，根据空前的“She appears to have found success coaching other actors to speak in a variety of dialects. (她看起来已经成功地教授演员用各种各样的口音说话，)”可知，她好像是成功教授演员用各种口音说话，根据空后的“TikTok is a medium to educate the masses (TikTok是教育大众的一个媒介)”可知，TikTok是教育大众的一个媒介，D选项“While much work with actors is done in one-on-one coaching(与演员的很多工作都是一对一的指导)”为让步状语从句，且讲述的内容起到承上启下的作用。故选D项。 【19题详解】 分析语篇可知，此空应为本段的主题句，根据空后的James Lantolf的谈话“Isolated (偏僻的) areas, such as New Orleans, develop different dialects.(偏僻的地区，如新奥尔良，发展出不同的方言。)”可知，偏僻的地区发展出不同的方言，G选项“A region’s location has a direct influence on the development of a local language(一个地区的地理位置直接影响着当地语言的发展)”讲述的内容对后面的两句话能起到概括作用，其中的A region’s location与空后提到的New Orleans内容相关。故选G项。 【20题详解】 根据空前的“Everyone has an accent. A dialect coach like Valentine can help one learn to speak differently, for an acting job or for fun.(每个人都有口音。像瓦伦丁这样的方言教练可以帮助一个人以不同的方式学习说话，无论是为了演戏还是为了娱乐。)”可知，无论是为了工作还是为了娱乐，像Valentine这样的教练都可以帮助人去学习，结合空后的“Learning a second language as an adult is difficult; for much the same reason, it’s tricky to change your accent.(作为成年人学习第二语言是困难的；出于同样的原因，改变你的口音也是很棘手的。)”可知，对于成年人来说，学第二语言和改变口音都是非常困难的，且其原因也是一样的，由此可知推断，此空处讲述的应是对口音的总结，A选项“In fact, all accents are worthy of pride(事实上，所有的口音都值得骄傲)”讲述的是所有的方言都是值得自豪的，承接空前的内容，而想要改变引以为豪的东西，必然是困难的，与空后的内容吻合。故选A项。 第三部分 英语知识运用（共三节,满分40分） 第一节 完型填空（共15小题;每小题1分,满分15分） 阅读下面短文, 从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中, 选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Novels.

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） 听力 1—5 BABCB 6—10 ABBAB 11—15 CCBAC 16—20 AACAC 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
