They provide green spaces to grow sustainable food, build community cohesion (凝聚力), make new friends, connect with the earth, and much more. So, let’s check out our list of 4 inspiring urban gardens in the US. Gotham Greens Where: New York & Chicago What: Gotham Greens first started in Brooklyn and now has four locations in New York City and Chicago. Their flagship farm in Brooklyn produces over 100,000 pounds of greens per year. But it doesn’t just produce healthy local vegetables. It is using high-tech greenhouses with solar panels to make sure the food grown is healthy and sustainable. Baltimore Urban Gardening with Students Where: Baltimore, Maryland What: The Baltimore Urban Gardening with Students (BUGS) program encourages students to get their hands dirty and plant vegetables through their after-school and summer programs. Many of these kids don’t have access to green spaces and have never had the opportunity to grow food. Revision Urban Farm Where: Boston, Massachusetts What: Revision Urban Farm in Boston works in partnership with the Revision Family Home-a shelter for 22 homeless parents and their kids. The farm provides these families within formation on healthy eating, and access to the farm’s fresh vegetables. The organization also provides job training to help families escape the cycle of poverty. Swale Where: New York What: Swale, a floating food forest located on a large boat, is an innovative project meant to inspire citizens to rethink the relationship between our cities and our food. This urban garden serves as both a living art exhibit and an educational farm Food forests are sustainable gardens that include vegetables, fruit, nut trees, bushes, herbs, and vines — each one complementing the other in a symbiotic (共生的) relationship. 1. What is special about Gotham Greens? A. It offers homeless families information on healthy eating. B. It creates a sustainable garden on a large boat. C. It provides job training for students. D. It uses high-tech greenhouses to grow healthy food. 2. Which urban garden offers first-hand farming experience? A. Baltimore Urban Gardening with Students. B. Swale. C. Revision Urban Farm. D. Gotham Greens. 3. What do these four urban gardens have in common? A. They create job opportunities for farmers. B. They are inspirational projects in New York. C. They are beneficial to communities. D. They have educational and entertaining purposes. 【答案】1. D 2. A 3. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。城市花园是社区的宝贵资产。它们为种植可持续粮食提供绿色空间，建立社区凝聚力。文章主要讲述了几个城市花园。 【详解】1. 细节理解题。根据文章Gotham Greens(哥谭镇蔬菜)部分中的“It is using high-tech greenhouses with solar panels to make sure the food grown is healthy and sustainable.(它正在使用带有太阳能电池板的高科技温室，以确保种植的食物是健康和可持续的。)”可知，Gotham Greens使用了高科技温室种植健康的食物。故选D项。 2. 推理判断题。根据文章Baltimore Urban Gardening with Students(巴尔的摩城市园艺与学生)部分中的“The Baltimore Urban Gardening with Students (BUGS) program encourages students to get their hands dirty and plant vegetables through their after-school and summer programs. Many of these kids don’t have access to green spaces, and have never had the opportunity to grow food.(巴尔的摩城市与学生一起园艺（BUGS）项目鼓励学生通过课后和夏季项目把手弄脏并种植蔬菜。这些孩子中的许多人没有机会接触绿色空间，也从来没有机会种植食物。)”可知，来这里进行园艺活动的孩子从来没有接触过农作，也从来没有机会尝试种植食物，由此可以推测出，该城市花园能向学生提供第一手的耕作经验。故选A项。 3. 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Urban gardens are valuable assets to communities. They provide greenspaces to grow sustainable food, build community unity, make new friends, connect with the earth, and much more.(城市花园是社区的宝贵资产。它们提供绿色空间来种植可持续的食物，建立社区团结，结交新朋友，与地球联系等等。)”可知，文章主要讲的是城市花园对社区的影响。由此可以推出，后文提到的四个城市花园都对社区来说都有益处。故选C项。 B Paul Durietz is a 76-year-old social studies teacher from Illinois. On September 1, he set a Guinness World Record for the world’s longest teaching career. He has been teaching for 53 years-since he was 23 years old. Mr. Durietz became interested in history after hearing stories from his father. He made up his mind about becoming a social studies teacher when he was just 11 years old, mainly because of his love of history. Mr. Durietz got his first teaching job at Woodland Middle School in Gurnee, Illinois in 1970. Ever since then, he’s been teaching social studies at the same school. For him, teaching is never boring because every day is different. He loves sharing his knowledge of history with students. Things have changed a lot since he began all those years ago. When he started, he wrote on a blackboard with chalk, and the students used paper textbooks. These days, he and the students use computers and digital whiteboards. Though technology has changed a lot, in Mr. Durietz’s eyes, the students are still pretty much the same-except that now they have cell phones. And with or without technology, Mr. Durietz has used creative activities to help his students learn. For example, he has organized virtual field trips, geography contests, and special days about the US Civil War. To help his students learn about politics, he has even organized mock (模拟的) elections at school, which his students enjoyed most. For much of his 53 years as a teacher, Mr. Durietz has been in charge of the social studies program at Woodland. In that time, he has helped to guide over 20 other social studies teachers at the school. To his extreme pride, he has even had students come back and tell him that they became history teachers because of him. Mr. Durietz wasn’t really trying to set a record. He was just doing what he loved. He has no plans to retire any time soon. He hopes to break his own record. He also hopes to set another record as the teacher who’s worked the longest at the same school. “Keep working on what you love to do in life,” he always says. 4. Mr. Durietz received an award from Guinness for ______. A. being the oldest teacher in Illinois B. being the best social studies teacher C. having the longest years of teaching D. working 53 years at the same school 5. What has made Mr. Durietz most proud of his work? A. Sharing his knowledge of history. B. Students enjoying the mock elections. C. Guiding over 20 other teachers at Woodland. D. Students following his example to be teachers. 6. According to the passage, which word can best describe Mr. Durietz? A. Passionate. B. Generous. C. Ambitious. D. Confident. 7. What can we conclude from this passage? A. One is never too old to learn. B. Be famous as young as possible. C. You have got to like what you do. D. When work is a pleasure, life is joy. 【答案】4. C 5. D 6. A 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。通过描述社会学教师Paul Durietz的教育生涯、他的教学方法以及对教育的热情来展示他的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段中“On September 1, he set a Guinness World Record for the world’s longest teaching career. He has been teaching for 53 years-since he was 23 years old. (9月1日，他创造了世界上最长的教学生涯的吉尼斯世界纪录。他从23岁开始教书53年。)”可知，Mr. Durietz因最长的教学年限获得了吉尼斯奖，故选C项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第七段中“To his extreme pride, he has even had students come back and tell him that they became history teachers because of him. (令他极度自豪的是，他甚至有学生回来告诉他，他们因为他而成为历史老师。)”可知，Mr. Durietz最自豪的是学生以他为榜样成为老师。故选D项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段中“For him, teaching is never boring because every day is different. He loves sharing his knowledge of history with students. (对他来说，教学从不无聊，因为每一天都不一样。他喜欢与学生分享他的历史知识。)”可知，Mr. Durietz是一个有充满热情的人，故选A项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第八段中“Mr. Durietz wasn’t really trying to set a record. He was just doing what he loved. (杜里茨并不是真的想创造纪录。他只是在做他喜欢的事情。)”以及““Keep working on what you love to do in life,” he always says. (“继续努力做你喜欢做的事情，”他总是说。)”可知，当工作是一种乐趣时，生活就是快乐的，故选D项。 C I used to believe that only words could catch the essence of the human soul. The literary works contained such distinct stories that they shaped the way we saw the world. Words were what composed the questions we sought to uncover and the answers to those questions themselves. Words were everything. That belief changed. In an ordinary math class, my teacher posed a simple question: What’s 0.99 rounded to the nearest whole number? Easy. When rounded to the nearest whole number, 0.99=1. Somehow, I thought even though 0.99 is only 0.01 away from 1, there’s still a 0.01 difference. That means even if two things are only a little different, they are still different, so doesn’t that make them completely different? My teacher answered my question by presenting another equation (等式): 1= 0.9, which could also be expressed as 1=0.99999.... repeating itself without ever ending. There was something mysterious but fascinating about the equation. The left side was unchangeable, objective: it contained a number that ended. On the right was something endless, number repeating itself limitless times. Yet, somehow, these two opposed things were connected by an equal sign. Lying in bed, I thought about how much the equation paralleled our existence. The left side of the equation represents that sometimes life itself is so unchangeable and so clear. The concrete, whole number of the day when you were born and the day when you would die. But then there is that gap in between life and death. The right side means a time and space full of limitless possibilities, and endless opportunities into the open future. So that’s what life is. Objective but imaginative. Unchangeable but limitless. Life is an equation with two sides that balances itself out. Still, we can’t ever truly seem to put the perfect words to it. So possibly numbers can express ideas as eually well as words can. For now, let’s leave it at that: 1= 0.99999... and live a life like it. 8. What does the author emphasize about words in paragraph 1? A. Their wide variety. B. Their literary origins. C. Their distinct sounds. D. Their expressive power. 9. What made the author find the equation fascinating? A. The repetition of a number. B. The way two different numbers are equal. C. The question the teacher raised. D. The difference between the two numbers. 10. Which of the fllowing can replace the underlined word “paralleled” in paragraph 6? A. Measured. B. Composed. C. Mirrored. D. Influenced. 11. What is a suitable title for the text? A. The Perfect Equation B. Numbers Build Equations C. An Attractive Question D. Words Outperform Numbers 【答案】8. D 9. B 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲的是作者在数学课上学了一个等式后的一些感悟。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“I used to believe that only words could catch the essence of the human soul. The literary works contained such distinct stories that they shaped the way we saw the world. Words were what composed the questions we sought to uncover and the answers to those questions themselves.(我曾经相信，只有语言才能捕捉到人类灵魂的本质。文学作品包含了如此独特的故事，它们塑造了我们看待世界的方式。文字构成了我们试图揭示的问题，以及这些问题本身的答案)”可推知，在第一段作者主要强调了语言的表达力量，故选D。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“There was something mysterious but fascinating about the equation. The left side was unchangeable, objective: it contained a number that ended. On the right was something endless, number repeating itself limitless times. Yet, somehow, these two opposed things were connected by an equal sign.(这个方程式神秘而迷人。左边是不变的、客观的：里面有一个没有尽头的数字。右边是无穷无尽的东西，数字无限重复。然而，不知怎么的，这两个相反的东西被一个等号连接起来了)”可知，作者觉得这个等式很迷人，因为数字虽然不同，但是却被等号连接起来了。由此推知，让作者觉得这个等式迷人的是两个不同的数相等的方式。故选B。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词下文“The left side of the equation represents that sometimes life itself is so unchangeable and so clear. The concrete, whole number of the day when you were born and the day when you would die. But then there is that gap in between life and death.(等式的左边表示有时候生命本身是如此的不可改变，如此的清晰。你出生的日期和你死亡的日期的具体整数。但是生与死之间有一段距离)”可知，作者躺在床上思考的是这个等式与我们的存在是多么相似，划线词paralleled的意思是“与……十分相似”，和mirrored意思相近，故选C。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第四段“My teacher answered my question by presenting another equation (等式): 1= 0.9, which could also be expressed as 1=0.99999.... repeating itself without ever ending.(我的老师给出了另一个等式：1= 0.9，也可以表示为1=0.99999……不断重复，没有尽头)”和第五段“There was something mysterious but fascinating about the equation. The left side was unchangeable, objective: it contained a number that ended. On the right was something endless, number repeating itself limitless times. Yet, somehow, these two opposed things were connected by an equal sign.(这个等式神秘而迷人。左边是不变的、客观的：里面有一个没有尽头的数字。右边是无穷无尽的东西，数字无限重复。然而，不知怎么的，这两个相反的东西被一个等号连接起来了)”可知，本文主要讲的是作者在数学课上学了一个等式后的一些感悟。由此可知，最恰当的标题是A选项“The Perfect Equation(完美的等式)”。故选A。 D Do you ever listen to the songs that your parents like? Chances are that you don't. You probably think the music that they like is old and boring and that the songs on your playlist are much cooler. But scientists found that people's music taste changes as time goes by. So it is likely that your own musical preferences will follow a similar path to your parents’，whether you like it or not. We used to think that culture and personality (个性) are the only reasons for different music choices. But researchers at the University of Cambridge noticed that as people enter into different age groups, their social environment changes, and so does their music taste. There are some musical periods that people go through in their life. The first period comes in the teenage years, during which people like strong music such as punk and rock, because teenagers tend to be aggressive or want to be independent. But as people move into early adulthood, their lifestyles change and they want to build close relationships with others. As a result, they become fonder of contemporary music, such as pop and R&B, which is usually uplifting and danceable. When middle age comes, most people have settled down. During this period, people prefer music,such as jazz and classical, as well as music like country, folk and blues. As for old people, they prefer old songs in their childhoods. They generally listen to relaxing music, such as country music and jazz music. But you must be questioning. “Aren't there old people who are still interested in or even crazy about rock music?” Of course there are. But their reasons for listening to rock music may have changed. At that age people may listen to remind themselves of their youth. 12. What do young people usually think of the songs their parents enjoy？ ______ A. They are actually less cool. B. They are worth listening to. C. They are especially serious. D. They are hard to understand. 13. How many musical periods are there that people go through in their life？ ______ A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five. 14. People who want to make friends mostly prefer ______ . A. jazz music B. country music C. rock music D. pop music 15. What is the best title for the text？ ______ A. People Have Different Opinions on Music B. People Listen to Music for the Same Reason C. People's Taste in Music Changes With Time D. People's Lifestyle Can Be Changed by Music 【答案】12 A 13. C 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要内容是说人们的音乐品味会随着时间的推移而改变。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段的句子“Do you ever listen to the songs that your parents like? Chances are that you don't. You probably think the music that they like is old and boring and that the songs on your playlist are much cooler. (你听过你父母喜欢的歌吗?很有可能你没有。你可能认为他们喜欢的音乐又老又无聊，而你播放列表上的歌要酷得多。)”可知，年轻人通常认为他们父母喜欢的歌曲没那么酷。故选A项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第3至第6段的第一句可知，人的一生中会经历4个音乐时期，分别是：“the teenage years(青少年时期)”、“early adulthood(成年早期)”、“middle age(中年期)” 、“old people(老年人)”。故选C项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“But as people move into early adulthood, their lifestyles change and they want to build close relationships with others. As a result, they become fonder of contemporary music, such as pop and R&B, which is usually uplifting and danceable. (但随着人们步入成年早期，他们的生活方式发生了变化，他们希望与他人建立密切的关系。因此，他们变得更喜欢当代音乐，比如流行音乐和节奏布鲁斯，这些音乐通常令人振奋，适合跳舞。)”可以推论出，想交朋友的人大多喜欢流行音乐。故选D项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。文章主要内容是说人们的音乐品味会随着时间的推移而改变。所以，用C项“People's Taste in Music Changes With Time (人们的音乐品味随着时间的变化而变化)”作为本文的题目，与文章主题相符合。故选C项。 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。 More parental investment; slower children’s growth Are teenagers less likely to participate in activities associated with adulthood because they’re busier with homework and extracurricular activities? Researchers found that time spent on homework and extracurricular activities has declined among 10th graders. It’s remained relatively steady among 12th graders. ____16____ This might account for some of the changes. In fact, one documentary labeled today’s teens as “screenagers”. Greater parental investment leads to teens growing up more slowly because parents supervise children and teens more carefully and organize their activities. The study researchers also found an association between a slower developmental trajectory and smaller family size, higher parental age at first birth, and higher median income. With fewer children and more money, parents can invest more time and resources in their kids. ____17____ There are also economic factors. With shifts in the economy, more people go to college and are dependent on their parents for longer. ____18____ 18-to 29-years-olds spend more time getting educated, marrying later, and having children later than previous generations. ____19____ On the upside, teens are less likely to engage in risky behaviors. They’re more likely to wait until they’re ready to participate in adult activities. ____20____ Today’s students may be sharp academically, but they often have trouble with basics like time management, making their own decisions and leading independent lives. A. There are benefits and drawbacks to the decline in adult activities among adolescents. B. It helps children enjoy a life with more material richness. C. On the other hand, Internet usage has increased. D. This may allow them to follow a slower developmental path. E. On the downside, it poses an obstacle to teens’ all-round development. F. More money is needed to cover their education. G. That also gives rise to more careful parenting with the idea that education will last longer. 【答案】16. C 17. D 18. G 19. A 20. E 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章主要讲述父母对孩子投入越多，孩子成熟越缓慢这一现象，并分析原因和说明利弊。 【16题详解】 根据上文“Researchers found that time spent on homework and extracurricular activities has declined among 10th graders. It’s remained relatively steady among 12th graders.(研究人员发现，10年级学生花在家庭作业和课外活动上的时间有所减少。在12年级学生中，这一比例相对稳定)”可知，这里分析孩子参加大人的活动越来越少的原因，10年级的学生花在作业和课外活动的时间事实上减少了，12年级的孩子基本不变，C项“另一方面，互联网的使用增加了”中的“on the other hand”体现了increased和declined，steady的对比，故选C。 【17题详解】 根据上文“With fewer children and more money, parents can invest more time and resources in their kids.(孩子少了，钱多了，父母可以在孩子身上投入更多的时间和资源)”可知，孩子越少，经济条件越好，父母对孩子投入的时间和资源就越多，这有可能造成孩子成熟变慢，D项“这可能会让他们遵循一个较慢的发展道路”符合语境，D项中“This”指代上一句内容，且D项中“slower”和前文的fewer以及more都是比较级，形成用词的连贯，故选D。 【18题详解】 根据上文“With shifts in the economy, more people go to college and are dependent on their parents for longer.(随着经济的变化，更多的人上大学，依赖父母的时间也更长)”和下文“18-to 29-years-olds spend more time getting educated, marrying later, and having children later than previous generations.(18到29岁的年轻人比前几代人花更多的时间接受教育，更晚结婚，更晚生孩子)”可知，本段讲的是由于经济上依赖的原因，教育经历持续时间越长，孩子对父母的依赖就越久，结婚、生孩子都会推迟，G项“这也导致了教育将持续更长时间的想法，使父母更加谨慎”符合语境，G项中“longer”和上文的“longer”呼应，故选G。 【19题详解】 本空是段首句，是主题句，根据下文“On the upside, teens are less likely to engage in risky behaviors. They’re more likely to wait until they’re ready to participate in adult activities.(好的一面是，青少年不太可能从事危险行为。他们更有可能等到他们准备好参加成人活动)”以及“Today’s students may be sharp academically, but they often have trouble with basics like time management, making their own decisions and leading independent lives.(今天的学生可能在学业上很聪明，但他们在时间管理、自己做决定和独立生活等基本方面往往存在问题)”可知，A项“青少年成人活动的减少有利有弊”符合语境，故选A。 【20题详解】 根据下文“Today’s students may be sharp academically, but they often have trouble with basics like time management, making their own decisions and leading independent lives.(今天的学生可能在学业上很聪明，但他们在时间管理、自己做决定和独立生活等基本方面往往存在问题)”可知，此处分析孩子成熟变缓的缺点，E项“不利的一面是，它阻碍了青少年的全面发展”符合语境，故选E。 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节完形填空 (共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) My colleagues and I, who have been teaching powerful communication skills, talk about the power of words all the time.

Addressing 42. scenes 43. which 44. but 45. its 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要报道的是备受期待的诺贝尔奖得主莫言的首部戏剧《鳄鱼》舞台剧于5月3日在江苏省苏州市苏州湾大剧院首演，以及该作品的一些相关情况。 【36题详解】 考查介词。句意：备受期待的诺贝尔奖得主莫言的首部戏剧《鳄鱼》舞台剧于5月3日在江苏省苏州市苏州湾大剧院首演。空后为表时间的名词，所以此处使用介词，表示具体某天时，介词应为on。故填on。 【37题详解】 考查过去分词。句意：《鳄鱼》是莫言的第一部原创剧本，于2023年6月出版。此处为非谓语动词作定语修饰名词script，pen与script之间为被动关系，且该动作已经发生，所以此处使用过去分词形式。故填penned。 【38题详解】 考查谓语动词。句意：《鳄鱼》的情节围绕着男主角单无惮和他收到的生日礼物鳄鱼展开。此处为谓语动词，结合句意可知，此处描述的是客观事实，所以使用一般现在时，revolve与句子主语The plot of Crocodile之间为主动关系，且主语为第三人称单数。故填revolves。 【39题详解】 考查副词。句意：故事通过一只无限生长的鳄鱼，深入人性的复杂性，探索“欲望”的主题。此处为副词作状语修饰growing，infinite的副词形式infinitely“无线地”符合句意。故填infinitely。 【40题详解】 考查冠词。句意：这部长达三小时的舞台剧云集了众多明星演员，包括饰演单无惮的台湾影星赵文瑄，女演员张凯丽和香港资深女演员邓萃雯。cast“演员”为可数名词单数，空前无限定词，所以此处使用冠词，结合句意可知，此处表示泛指意义，所以使用不定冠词，star-studded的首个音素为辅音。故填a。 【41题详解】 考查现在分词。句意：在谢幕时，莫言对观众说：“我很兴奋，对其中的多个场景很熟悉，但又很陌生，这表明制作团队确实根据我的剧本进行了新的改编。”此处为非谓语动词作状语，address与逻辑主语Mo之间为主动关系，所以此处使用现在分词形式，且位于句首，首字母需大写。故填Addressing。 【42题详解】 考查名词。句意：在谢幕时，莫言对观众说：“我很兴奋，对其中的多个场景很熟悉，但又很陌生，这表明制作团队确实根据我的剧本进行了新的改编。”scene“场景”为可数名词，空前有multiple修饰，所以此处使用名词复数形式。故填scenes。 【43题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：在谢幕时，莫言对观众说：“我很兴奋，对其中的多个场景很熟悉，但又很陌生，这表明制作团队确实根据我的剧本进行了新的改编。”此处为关系词引导的非限制性定语从句，从句中缺少主语，所以使用关系代词，且先行词指的是主句这件事，所以使用关系代词which。故填which。 【44题详解】 考查连词。句意：这样的观察不仅仅是为了欣赏艺术，也是为了提醒我们反思自己的生活。此处为“not merely…but…”连接两个并列句，意为“不仅……而且……”。故填but。 【45题详解】 考查代词。句意：在苏州首演后，《鳄鱼》将于9月在中国各地巡回演出，包括南京、福州、广州、上海和北京。此空后为名词premiere，所以此处使用形容词性物主代词，it的形容词性物主代词为its。故填its。 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节 （满分15分） 46. 假设你是高三年级学生李华，近期你的社区将举办一次以“未来社区（Future Community）”为主题的设计展，你的作品也在展览之列，请你发邮件邀请你的英国朋友Jim 参观展览，内容包括： 1.活动的基本信息（时间、地点、展览内容等）； 2.你的作品介绍。 注意： 1.词数100左右； 2.开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 Dear Jim, ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】Dear Jim, How’s everything going?

Asiri had been asking to help make the costumes. But he’d been told he was too little to sew the fine stitches (缝线) needed for the costumes. Waiting for Uncle Thad, Asiri smoothed his practice piece beside him. Across it he had sewn, pulled out, and resewn stitches just as Uncle Thad had taught him. He couldn’t wait to show it to his uncle. When his uncle finally came over, Asiri leapt from his seat. “Look, Uncle, ” said Asiri, holding up the stitched cloth. “These are fine stitches, Asiri, ” said Uncle Thad. “Just right to fix sequins (亮片). ” Together they walked to the workshop. Uncle Thad and his team were busy making the costumes. They had to be ready for Esala Perahera, the biggest festival held in the city of Kandy. Since the elephants were the stars of the parade, their costumes had to be dazzling. He especially loved the sequins sewn on them that made them sparkle. Uncle Thad, his team, and now Asiri, would finish the costumes. Asiri hoped he’d get to sew a sequin onto the costume for the most important elephant in the parade. After lunch, Asiri was putting away a piece of cloth when his uncle called. “Asiri? Please bring me the box of golden sequins. ” Here was his chance, thought Asiri. He’d bring the box to Uncle Thad and then ask to sew one on. Uncle Thad was sure to say yes. Asiri lifted the box from the shelf but turned a little too quickly, and the box was turned over, leaving the golden sequins on the floor. Uncle Thad turned to stare-first at Asiri and then at the golden sequins. Asiri felt his cheeks turning red. Now, Uncle Thad would never let him sew a single sequin on the costumes this year. Asiri dashed out of the door, down the street, and all the way back home. Hearing the rush of his footsteps, Asiri’s mother came to the door. 注意： 1．续写的词数应为150左右; 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 “What’s wrong, Asiri?” asked his mother. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Reaching the workshop, Asiri found the sequins were still there. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 “What’s wrong, Asiri?” asked his mother. “I spilled the sequins!” he blurted, almost in tears. “Did you clean them up?” she asked. “No. ” Asiri answered. “Go back and clean them up,” she said with a wave of her hand. “Uncle Thad will expect you to.” Asiri shook his head. But he knew it was only right to clean up a mess he’d made. It was one of Uncle Thad’s workshop rules. Hearing mother’s words, Asiri knew what he should do. He walked towards the workshop with heart in his mouth. Reaching the workshop, Asiri found the sequins were still there. They lay scat-tered across the floor, waiting for him. Asiri gathered the sequins into a pile and swept them into a dust pan. Carefully, he shook it, separating the dust from the sequins. Only when the last sequin slipped into the box did Asiri glance up. Uncle Thad stood in the doorway with his arms crossed. Crossing the room, he squeezed Asiri’s shoulder. “Good workers always clean up after themselves.” He clapped his hands. “Now, come. There are costumes to finish and sequins to sew.” 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了萨德叔叔和他的团队正忙着为康提市举行的最大节日埃萨拉•佩拉赫拉制作服装，阿西里希望他能在游行中最重要的大象的服装上缝一个亮片，但是当萨德叔叔吩咐他把那盒金色的亮片拿给他时，盒子打翻在地，阿西里很尴尬跑回了家，妈妈问明原委，让他回去收拾好烂摊子，当阿西里认真把亮片捡回到盒子后，萨德叔叔让他加入了缝亮片的工作。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“‘怎么了，阿西里？’他妈妈问。”可知，第一段可描写妈妈询问阿西里发生的事情，要阿西里回去收拾残局。 ②由第二段首句内容“到了车间，阿西里发现亮片还在那里。”可知，第二段可描写阿西里认真收拾亮片，认为好工人总是自己打扫卫生的萨德叔叔看着阿西里一举一动，最终让他加入了缝亮片的工作。 2.续写线索：妈妈询问原委——阿西里回车间——阿西里收拾残局——萨德叔叔叫阿西里缝亮片 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①走向：walk towards / head for ②回家：answer / reply ③等待：wait for / await 情绪类 ①心都提到嘴边了：with heart in his mouth / with the heart on the tip of his tongue ②抬起眼睛望着：glance up /look up 【点睛】 [高分句型1]Hearing mother’s words, Asiri knew what he should do.（现在分词作状语，由连接词what引导的宾语从句作knew的宾语） [高分句型2]Only when the last sequin slipped into the box did Asiri glance up. （倒装句） 听力1-5.BCBAA 6-10.BBCAC 11-15.BCCAB 16-20.CBACB 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 重庆市长寿中学校2024-2025学年高三开学考试 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，写在试卷上无效。 3.考试结束后，本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 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） 1.Why has Susan been busy in the library recently?

On September 1, he set a Guinness World Record for the world’s longest teaching career. He has been teaching for 53 years-since he was 23 years old. Mr. Durietz became interested in history after hearing stories from his father. He made up his mind about becoming a social studies teacher when he was just 11 years old, mainly because of his love of history. Mr. Durietz got his first teaching job at Woodland Middle School in Gurnee, Illinois in 1970. Ever since then, he’s been teaching social studies at the same school. For him, teaching is never boring because every day is different. He loves sharing his knowledge of history with students. Things have changed a lot since he began all those years ago. When he started, he wrote on a blackboard with chalk, and the students used paper textbooks. These days, he and the students use computers and digital whiteboards. Though technology has changed a lot, in Mr. Durietz’s eyes, the students are still pretty much the same-except that now they have cell phones. And with or without technology, Mr. Durietz has used creative activities to help his students learn. For example, he has organized virtual field trips, geography contests, and special days about the US Civil War. To help his students learn about politics, he has even organized mock (模拟) elections at school, which his students enjoyed most. For much of his 53 years as a teacher, Mr. Durietz has been in charge of the social studies program at Woodland. In that time, he has helped to guide over 20 other social studies teachers at the school. To his extreme pride, he has even had students come back and tell him that they became history teachers because of him. Mr. Durietz wasn’t really trying to set a record. He was just doing what he loved. He has no plans to retire any time soon. He hopes to break his own record. He also hopes to set another record as the teacher who’s worked the longest at the same school. “Keep working on what you love to do in life,” he always says. 4. Mr. Durietz received an award from Guinness for ______. A. being the oldest teacher in Illinois B. being the best social studies teacher C. having the longest years of teaching D. working 53 years at the same school 5 What has made Mr. Durietz most proud of his work? A. Sharing his knowledge of history. B. Students enjoying the mock elections. C. Guiding over 20 other teachers at Woodland. D. Students following his example to be teachers. 6. According to the passage, which word can best describe Mr. Durietz? A. Passionate. B. Generous. C. Ambitious. D. Confident. 7. What can we conclude from this passage? A. One is never too old to learn. B. Be famous as young as possible. C. You have got to like what you do. D. When work is a pleasure, life is joy. C I used to believe that only words could catch the essence of the human soul. The literary works contained such distinct stories that they shaped the way we saw the world. Words were what composed the questions we sought to uncover and the answers to those questions themselves. Words were everything. That belief changed. In an ordinary math class, my teacher posed a simple question: What’s 0.99 rounded to the nearest whole number? Easy. When rounded to the nearest whole number, 0.99=1. Somehow, I thought even though 0.99 is only 0.01 away from 1, there’s still a 0.01 difference. That means even if two things are only a little different, they are still different, so doesn’t that make them completely different? My teacher answered my question by presenting another equation (等式): 1= 0.9, which could also be expressed as 1=0.99999.... repeating itself without ever ending. There was something mysterious but fascinating about the equation. The left side was unchangeable, objective: it contained a number that ended. On the right was something endless, number repeating itself limitless times. Yet, somehow, these two opposed things were connected by an equal sign. Lying in bed, I thought about how much the equation paralleled our existence. The left side of the equation represents that sometimes life itself is so unchangeable and so clear. The concrete, whole number of the day when you were born and the day when you would die. But then there is that gap in between life and death. The right side means a time and space full of limitless possibilities, and endless opportunities into the open future. So that’s what life is. Objective but imaginative. Unchangeable but limitless. Life is an equation with two sides that balances itself out. Still, we can’t ever truly seem to put the perfect words to it. So possibly numbers can express ideas as eually well as words can. For now, let’s leave it at that: 1= 0.99999... and live a life like it. 8. What does the author emphasize about words in paragraph 1? A. Their wide variety. B. Their literary origins. C. Their distinct sounds. D. Their expressive power. 9. What made the author find the equation fascinating? A. The repetition of a number. B. The way two different numbers are equal. C. The question the teacher raised. D. The difference between the two numbers. 10. Which of the fllowing can replace the underlined word “paralleled” in paragraph 6? A. Measured. B. Composed. C. Mirrored. D. Influenced. 11. What is a suitable title for the text? A. The Perfect Equation B. Numbers Build Equations C. An Attractive Question D. Words Outperform Numbers D Do you ever listen to the songs that your parents like? Chances are that you don't. You probably think the music that they like is old and boring and that the songs on your playlist are much cooler. But scientists found that people's music taste changes as time goes by. So it is likely that your own musical preferences will follow a similar path to your parents’，whether you like it or not. We used to think that culture and personality (个性) are the only reasons for different music choices. But researchers at the University of Cambridge noticed that as people enter into different age groups, their social environment changes, and so does their music taste. There are some musical periods that people go through in their life. The first period comes in the teenage years, during which people like strong music such as punk and rock, because teenagers tend to be aggressive or want to be independent. But as people move into early adulthood, their lifestyles change and they want to build close relationships with others. As a result, they become fonder of contemporary music, such as pop and R&B, which is usually uplifting and danceable. When middle age comes, most people have settled down.

Asiri had been asking to help make the costumes. But he’d been told he was too little to sew the fine stitches (缝线) needed for the costumes. Waiting for Uncle Thad Asiri smoothed his practice piece beside him. Across it he had sewn, pulled out, and resewn stitches just as Uncle Thad had taught him. He couldn’t wait to show it to his uncle. When his uncle finally came over, Asiri leapt from his seat. “Look, Uncle, ” said Asiri, holding up the stitched cloth. “These are fine stitches, Asiri, ” said Uncle Thad. “Just right to fix sequins (亮片). ” Together they walked to the workshop. Uncle Thad and his team were busy making the costumes. They had to be ready for Esala Perahera, the biggest festival held in the city of Kandy. Since the elephants were the stars of the parade, their costumes had to be dazzling. He especially loved the sequins sewn on them that made them sparkle. Uncle Thad, his team, and now Asiri, would finish the costumes. Asiri hoped he’d get to sew a sequin onto the costume for the most important elephant in the parade. After lunch, Asiri was putting away a piece of cloth when his uncle called. “Asiri? Please bring me the box of golden sequins. ” Here was his chance, thought Asiri. He’d bring the box to Uncle Thad and then ask to sew one on. Uncle Thad was sure to say yes. Asiri lifted the box from the shelf but turned a little too quickly, and the box was turned over, leaving the golden sequins on the floor. Uncle Thad turned to stare-first at Asiri and then at the golden sequins. Asiri felt his cheeks turning red. Now, Uncle Thad would never let him sew a single sequin on the costumes this year. Asiri dashed out of the door, down the street, and all the way back home. Hearing the rush of his footsteps, Asiri’s mother came to the door. 注意： 1．续写的词数应为150左右; 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 “What’s wrong, Asiri?” asked his mother. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Reaching the workshop, Asiri found the sequins were still there. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力1-5.BCBAA 6-10.BBCAC 11-15.BCCAB 16-20.CBACB 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
