B In 2023, the UK SpoGomi competition was scheduled for August, with the world cup in Tokyo in November. I formed my team with Alex Winship, and my brother Jonny. SpoGomi is a sport involving litter-picking by teams of three. Teams collect litter in given areas within a strict time limit, scoring point s for the weight of collected items, with some items awarded more points than others. One gram of cigarette butts is worth three points versus only 0.1 per gram for burnable rubbish. The team with the most point s wins. Initially we were drawn to taking part because of the prize of a trip to Japan. There were about 20 teams in the UK competition, which took place in London’s Hackney marshes. We won by only 33 points, which is equivalent to just one glass bottle. We were then heading for the world cup. The competition was intense. After the first half, Japan came top and we were second. My muscles were aching and I felt completely worn out from the heat of Tokyo on a sunny day. I didn’t have much more energy, and Iremember Alex and Jonny saying the same, but we had this feeling of being on the edge of something amazing. We had to just keep pushing. We pulled ahead in the second half while carrying several kilos of litter over two miles at a time. We ended up coming first,ahead of Japan, with 57 kg of rubbish collected. I wouldn’t have been someone who would have picked up litter off the street. At the early stages of our training, we were so bad at finding litter. Then, just after the London competition, on the way home, we saw so much. We were just much more aware of it.Once you’re drawn into SpoGomi, your attitude towards litter and how you contribute completely changes — it certainly has for us. 4. What can we learn about SpoComi? A. It is a sport to pick up rubbish. B. It has particularly strict rules. C. It is a team consisting of 3. D. It sets limits to collected items. 5. What was the result of the London competition? A. The result was controversial. B. No team entered the world cup. C. The author’s team had a narrow victory. D. The author’s team had an absolute advantage. 6. How did the author feel in the second half of the world cup? A. Nervous but hopeful. B. Indifferent and bored. C. Exhausted but determined. D. Discouraged and uninterested. 7. What is presented in the last paragraph? A. Providing tips on picking litter. B. Showing desire for SpoGomi training. C. Advocating devotion to the world cup. D. Encouraging engagement in SpoGomi. C A team of researchers in Florida may have just created the world’s coolest paint ever. Chanda, a researcher in the University of Central Florida, and his team have created a way to imitate copy nature’s ability to reflect light and create beautifully vivid color without absorbing any heat like traditional pigments (色素) do. They focus on exploring structural color (结构色) and how people could use it to live cooler in a rapidly warming world. Structural colors are created not from traditional pigmentation but from the arrangement of colorless materials to reflect light in certain ways, like how rainbows are made after it rains. Think about the most beautiful colors you’ve ever seen-forest green, wine red or crystal blue, some of which, however, are nearly impossible to recreate artificially. That’s because these beautiful colors are not achieved through pigments — they’re all in the structure, like the green of peacocks’ feathers. Think about those cherries that redden your mouth after eating them or when your jeans turned green from sitting in wet grass. These are pigments. To create these colors, synthetic (合成的) materials like heavy metals are used to create vivid paints. Chanda stressed, “A deep blue needs cobalt; a deep red needs cadmium. They are toxic. We are polluting our nature by using this kind of paint. So one of the major motivations for us is to create colors based on non-toxic materials.” Beyond the beautiful colors and safety that structure can provide, Chanda also found that unlike pigments, structural paint does not absorb heat but reflects light back. That’s why people are advised to wear lighter colors in hotter days and why many buildings are painted white. This means this eco-friendly paint could help communities keep cool in an increasingly warming climate. “Nature has followed the path to create harmony among our surroundings,” Chanda said. “We want to be colorful but our color production is not really supported or inspired by nature. I hope this paint could be the future to a healthier, cooler environment.” 8. Which of the following colors doesn’t belong to structural colors? A. The purple of ripe grapes. B. The blue of butterfly wings. C. The orange of bright rainbows. D. The green of peacocks’ feathers. 9 What does the underlined word “toxic” in the third paragraph probably mean? A. Attractive. B. Harmful. C. Neutral. D. Useless. 10. Which of the following best describes the advantages of the newly-created paint? A. Vivid, eco-friendly and cooling. B. Colorless healthy and artificial. C. Traditional, healthy and cooling. D. Vivid man-made and eco-friendly. 11. What’s the main idea of the text? A. Many attractive colors couldn’t be recreated artificially. B. Human beings should respect the harmony of our surroundings. C Traditional approaches of color production remain to be improved. D. The paint of structural color could help people live cooler and healthier. D Hummingbirds might be instantly recognizable from the hum (嗡嗡声), but the cause of the characteristic has long been a mystery. Now researchers say they have cracked the conundrum, finally taking the “hmm?” out of hummingbirds. Scientists carried out experiments with a species known as Anna’s hummingbird. In the setup, scientists arranged microphones and high-speed cameras around a cage in which six hummingbirds fed on an artificial flower, one at a time. This allowed them to pick up the sounds produced by the birds to create a 3D acoustic (声学的) map, which was linked visually with the movement of the wings to explore what was driving the sounds, the team sought to measure the lift and drag forces produced by the moving of the wings in another experiment. This picked up the size of the pressure forces produced and how they changed over time. When the researchers put the information about the forces together with the motion of the birds’ wings, they were able to predict the sounds that would be created from these factors alone. They then compared them with the 3D acoustic map produced from the microphone setup. The results reveal that aerodynamic (空气动力学的) forces produced as the wings move, together with the speed and direction of the wing movements, are enough to explain the hummingbirds’ hum. The humming sound is caused by the pressure difference between the upper side and the lower side of the wing, which changes in size and direction as the wing flaps back and forth, the researchers explained. “This is why birds and insects make different sounds,” said David Lentink, co-author of the study. The researchers said that while the findings were interesting in themselves, they could also have applications in future technologies, such as new drones (无人机) that are quieter when flying through the air. Of course, with some hummingbirds flapping their wings up to 80 times a second, it’s unlikely that we’ll see drones capable of copying these unique birds anytime soon. 12. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 1 mean? A. Solved the puzzle. B. Broken the silence. C. Learned their lesson. D. Accepted the challenge. 13. Which of the following factors may NOT contribute to the hum of hummingbirds? A. The sizes of their wings. B. The speed of the wing movements. C. The forces produced during their flight. D. The direction of the wing movements. 14. What does the last paragraph indicate? A. The market of drones will be encouraging. B. Researchers are disappointed with the findings. C. The new findings will be possibly used in drones in the future. D. New drones will soon be comparable in flying speed to hummingbirds. 15. What can be the best title for this text? A. What Makes Hummingbirds Fascinating B. Where to Meet the Most Unique Birds C. How Birds Make Different Sounds D. Why Hummingbirds Hum 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。 The average cost of an iPhone has climbed up, and even the most affordable Android devices come with arising price. ____16____ It is wise to pay close attention to the best practices for extending the life of your smartphone. Fortunately, there are several ways to do this. Remove unnecessary apps and photos. When the storage and capabilities (能力) of the smartphone are being maxed out, the phone will become much less responsive. ____17____ To avoid this unnecessary expense, make sure that you regularly remove any apps, photos, documents or text messages that you do not actually need. ____18____ Put your phone on the charger (充电器) when it reaches a battery life of 75 percent. Waiting until the battery life drops to 25 percent will dramatically reduce its ability to receive and hold a change. Using up your battery and then charging it back to 100 percent is a bad idea. Your phone will last a lot longer if you charge it for a few minutes off and on throughout the day. Don’t exercise carrying your smartphone with you. Some phone users have experienced water damage issues as a result of sweating while their phone was in their pocket or fastened to their arm. This problem becomes worsened by the unwillingness of the phone company to cover even minimal water damage under their guarantee program. ____19____ Take advantage of cloud storage. ____20____This will minimize the risk of data loss if something does go wrong. Take advantage of any free cloud storage that comes with your smartphone and perform backups on a regular basis to receive the best results. A. Power down regularly. B. Keep the battery in good condition. C. But it may not be in your best interests to use them. D. It often convinces people to upgrade before they truly need to. E. It helps your phone never become overloaded with too much data. F. So it does not make sense to take the risk of harming it with sweat. G.

In June, my husband was offered a new Job in Ghana. Feeling that I had hit a career bottleneck as a photographer and copywriter, I, without any hesitation, made the decision to move with him. While my husband engaged in work, my visa didn’t grant (准许) me the same privilege. I didn’t know what to do. I was left isolated, homesick and lacking purpose. Our new home was near a river that cut across expansive grasslands. With few people around our home, I turned to nature, which had been a fondness of mine since childhood. Every day, I would take my camera and wander around, photographing aimlessly. It wasn’t long before September arrived, bringing the full flow of the rainy season. After one particularly bad thunderstorm, I found a finch (雀) — a poor little thing barely a month old with one wing broken — on the ground. Evidently, he had been abandoned by his flock, his nest blown from a tree. The sight was heartbreaking. He was the size of my little finger. His eyes were tightly shut and he was shaking, too young to survive alone. I somehow felt a connection with it. Immediately I took him into my arms and cautiously placed him in a cardboard box with towels and stayed up all night researching how to care for him. The next day, he seemed to regain some energy. He woke with his mouth open, though still too weak to let out a call. I fed him on some food and chirped (叽喳) at him. To my amusement, he chirped back and even climbed into my hand. I affectionately gazed at this adorable creature, who was now bravely pecking (啄) my fingers now and then. A surge of warmth ran through me. Gently touching his feathers, I chirped a lullaby（摇篮曲）, singing him to sleep. Gradually, his eyes dropped and he fell asleep. I couldn’t help but smile at the scene — as far as he was concerned, I was his mother. 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。 “I will take care of you.” I murmured, making my promise to him. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ While staring at the photos, I felt a sense of joy and fulfillment. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力1—5 ABCBA 6—10 ACACB 11—15 CCBCC 16—20 BABAC 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024—2025学年度第一学期高三第一次月考试题 英语 （试卷满分150分，考试时间120分钟） 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） 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

I formed my team with Alex Winship, and my brother Jonny. SpoGomi is a sport involving litter-picking by teams of three. Teams collect litter in given areas within a strict time limit, scoring point s for the weight of collected items, with some items awarded more points than others. One gram of cigarette butts is worth three points versus only 0.1 per gram for burnable rubbish. The team with the most point s wins. Initially we were drawn to taking part because of the prize of a trip to Japan. There were about 20 teams in the UK competition, which took place in London’s Hackney marshes. We won by only 33 points, which is equivalent to just one glass bottle. We were then heading for the world cup. The competition was intense. After the first half, Japan came top and we were second. My muscles were aching and I felt completely worn out from the heat of Tokyo on a sunny day. I didn’t have much more energy, and Iremember Alex and Jonny saying the same, but we had this feeling of being on the edge of something amazing. We had to just keep pushing. We pulled ahead in the second half while carrying several kilos of litter over two miles at a time. We ended up coming first,ahead of Japan, with 57 kg of rubbish collected. I wouldn’t have been someone who would have picked up litter off the street. At the early stages of our training, we were so bad at finding litter. Then, just after the London competition, on the way home, we saw so much. We were just much more aware of it.Once you’re drawn into SpoGomi, your attitude towards litter and how you contribute completely changes — it certainly has for us. 4. What can we learn about SpoComi? A. It is a sport to pick up rubbish. B. It has particularly strict rules. C. It is a team consisting of 3. D. It sets limits to collected items. 5. What was the result of the London competition? A. The result was controversial. B No team entered the world cup. C. The author’s team had a narrow victory. D. The author’s team had an absolute advantage. 6. How did the author feel in the second half of the world cup? A. Nervous but hopeful. B. Indifferent and bored. C. Exhausted but determined. D. Discouraged and uninterested. 7. What is presented in the last paragraph? A. Providing tips on picking litter. B. Showing desire for SpoGomi training. C. Advocating devotion to the world cup. D. Encouraging engagement in SpoGomi. 【答案】4. A 5. C 6. C 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是记叙文。文章讲述了2023年作者和Alex Winship以及作者的兄弟Jonny组队参加了SpoGomi比赛，这是一种以团队为单位捡拾垃圾的体育活动。在英国SpoGomi比赛中，作者的团队以微弱优势获胜，随后在东京的世界杯中经历激烈竞争后夺冠。这项活动不仅让作者的团队赢得前往日本的奖励，更改变了他们对捡拾垃圾的态度，让他们更加关注并积极贡献于环境保护。 【4题详解】 细节理解题，根据第二段“SpoGomi is a sport involving litter-picking by teams of three.( SpoGomit赛是一项由三人一组进行的捡垃圾运动。)”可知，SpoGomi比赛是一项捡垃圾的运动。故选A。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“We won by only 33 points, which is equivalent to just one glass bottle.( 我们只赢了33分，相当于只赢了一个玻璃瓶。)”可知，作者的队伍险胜。故选C。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“I didn’t have much more energy, and I remember Alex and Jonny saying the same, but we had this feeling of being on the edge of something amazing. We had to just keep pushing. (我没有太多的精力，我记得亚历克斯和乔尼也说过同样的话，但我们有一种感觉，感觉自己正处于一件令人惊叹的事情的边缘。我们不得不继续努力。)”可知，作者到了下半场筋疲力尽，但是意志坚定。故选C。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Once you’re drawn into SpoGomi, your attitude towards litter and how you contribute completely changes—it certainly has for us. (一旦你被SpoGomi吸引，你对垃圾的态度以及你的贡献方式就会完全改变——这对我们来说无疑是如此。) ”可知，作者鼓励参与SpoGomi。故选D。 C A team of researchers in Florida may have just created the world’s coolest paint ever. Chanda, a researcher in the University of Central Florida, and his team have created a way to imitate copy nature’s ability to reflect light and create beautifully vivid color without absorbing any heat like traditional pigments (色素) do. They focus on exploring structural color (结构色) and how people could use it to live cooler in a rapidly warming world. Structural colors are created not from traditional pigmentation but from the arrangement of colorless materials to reflect light in certain ways, like how rainbows are made after it rains. Think about the most beautiful colors you’ve ever seen-forest green, wine red or crystal blue, some of which, however, are nearly impossible to recreate artificially. That’s because these beautiful colors are not achieved through pigments — they’re all in the structure, like the green of peacocks’ feathers. Think about those cherries that redden your mouth after eating them or when your jeans turned green from sitting in wet grass. These are pigments. To create these colors, synthetic (合成的) materials like heavy metals are used to create vivid paints. Chanda stressed, “A deep blue needs cobalt; a deep red needs cadmium. They are toxic. We are polluting our nature by using this kind of paint. So one of the major motivations for us is to create colors based on non-toxic materials.” Beyond the beautiful colors and safety that structure can provide, Chanda also found that unlike pigments, structural paint does not absorb heat but reflects light back. That’s why people are advised to wear lighter colors in hotter days and why many buildings are painted white. This means this eco-friendly paint could help communities keep cool in an increasingly warming climate. “Nature has followed the path to create harmony among our surroundings,” Chanda said. “We want to be colorful but our color production is not really supported or inspired by nature. I hope this paint could be the future to a healthier, cooler environment.” 8. Which of the following colors doesn’t belong to structural colors? A. The purple of ripe grapes. B. The blue of butterfly wings. C. The orange of bright rainbows. D. The green of peacocks’ feathers. 9. What does the underlined word “toxic” in the third paragraph probably mean? A. Attractive. B. Harmful. C. Neutral. D. Useless. 10. Which of the following best describes the advantages of the newly-created paint? A. Vivid, eco-friendly and cooling. B. Colorless, healthy and artificial. C. Traditional, healthy and cooling. D. Vivid, man-made and eco-friendly. 11. What’s the main idea of the text? A. Many attractive colors couldn’t be recreated artificially. B. Human beings should respect the harmony of our surroundings. C. Traditional approaches of color production remain to be improved. D. The paint of structural color could help people live cooler and healthier. 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，主要介绍了研究者Chanda和他的团队运用结构色原理创造了一种生态友好的新型涂料。这种涂料无需人工合成色素，模仿自然界光反射的原理而形成鲜亮的色彩，同时具备不吸收热量的优点，可以让人们在日益变暖的环境下享受多彩，健康、清凉的生活。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Structural colors are created not from traditional pigmentation but from the arrangement of colorless materials to reflect light in certain ways, like how rainbows are made after it rains. Think about the most beautiful colors you’ve ever seen-forest green, wine red or crystal blue, some of which, however, are nearly impossible to recreate artificially. That’s because these beautiful colors are not achieved through pigments — they’re all in the structure, like the green of peacocks’ feathers. (结构色彩不是通过传统的色素沉着创造出来的，而是通过无色材料的排列以特定的方式反射光线，就像雨后彩虹的形成一样。想想你见过的最美丽的颜色——森林绿、酒红或水晶蓝，然而，其中一些几乎是不可能人工重现的。这是因为这些美丽的颜色不是通过颜料实现的——它们都在结构中，就像孔雀羽毛的绿色一样。)”以及第三段“Think about those cherries that redden your mouth after eating them or when your jeans turned green from sitting in wet grass. These are pigments. (想想那些吃了樱桃后你的嘴会变红，或者你的牛仔裤因为坐在潮湿的草地上而变绿。这些是颜料。)”可知，A选项的葡萄与文章中的樱桃及草相似，含有色素，是非结构色，故选A。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中的“We are polluting our nature by using this kind of paint. So one of the major motivations for us is to create colors based on non-toxic materials. (我们使用这种油漆正在污染我们的自然。因此，我们的主要动机之一是创造基于无毒材料的颜色。)”可知，使用此类涂料会污染自然环境，是有害的，划线单词的含义是“有害的”。A. Attractive吸引人的；B. Harmful有害的；C. Neutral中性的；D. Useless无用的。故选B项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“To create these colors, synthetic (合成的) materials like heavy metals are used to create vivid paints. Chanda stressed, “A deep blue needs cobalt; a deep red needs cadmium. They are toxic. We are polluting our nature by using this kind of paint. So one of the major motivations for us is to create colors based on non-toxic materials.” (为了创造这些颜色，合成材料如重金属被用来创造生动的颜料。Chanda强调说：“深蓝色需要钴；深红色需要镉。它们是有毒的。我们使用这种油漆正在污染我们的自然。因此，我们的主要动机之一是创造基于无毒材料的颜色。”)”和第四段“Beyond the beautiful colors and safety that structure can provide, Chanda also found that unlike pigments, structural paint does not absorb heat but reflects light back. That’s why people are advised to wear lighter colors in hotter days and why many buildings are painted white. This means this eco-friendly paint could help communities keep cool in an increasingly warming climate. (除了结构所能提供的美丽色彩和安全性之外，Chanda还发现，与颜料不同，结构涂料不吸收热量，而是将光反射回去。这就是为什么人们被建议在炎热的天气里穿浅色的衣服，以及为什么许多建筑物被漆成白色。这意味着这种环保涂料可以帮助社区在日益变暖的气候中保持凉爽。)”可知，新研发的这种涂料的优势在于它模仿自然界的结构色，无需吸收热量就能反射光线创造出鲜明的颜色，而且是基于非毒性材料制成的。因此，选项A“Vivid, eco-friendly and cooling. (鲜艳、环保且具有降温效果)”最能全面概括这种新涂料的优点。 故选A项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据第一段中的“A team of researchers in Florida may have just created the world’s coolest paint ever. (佛罗里达州的一组研究人员可能刚刚创造了世界上最酷的涂料。)”和末段的“I hope this paint could be the future to a healthier, cooler environment. (我希望这种涂料能成为未来更健康、更凉爽的环境。)”可知，研究者Chanda和他的团队运用结构色原理创造了一种生态友好的新型涂料，使用结构色能帮助人们享受更凉爽和健康的生活。故选D项。 D Hummingbirds might be instantly recognizable from the hum (嗡嗡声), but the cause of the characteristic has long been a mystery. Now researchers say they have cracked the conundrum, finally taking the “hmm?” out of hummingbirds. Scientists carried out experiments with a species known as Anna’s hummingbird. In the setup, scientists arranged microphones and high-speed cameras around a cage in which six hummingbirds fed on an artificial flower, one at a time. This allowed them to pick up the sounds produced by the birds to create a 3D acoustic (声学的) map, which was linked visually with the movement of the wings to explore what was driving the sounds, the team sought to measure the lift and drag forces produced by the moving of the wings in another experiment. This picked up the size of the pressure forces produced and how they changed over time. When the researchers put the information about the forces together with the motion of the birds’ wings, they were able to predict the sounds that would be created from these factors alone. They then compared them with the 3D acoustic map produced from the microphone setup. The results reveal that aerodynamic (空气动力学的) forces produced as the wings move, together with the speed and direction of the wing movements, are enough to explain the hummingbirds’ hum. The humming sound is caused by the pressure difference between the upper side and the lower side of the wing, which changes in size and direction as the wing flaps back and forth, the researchers explained. “This is why birds and insects make different sounds,” said David Lentink, co-author of the study. The researchers said that while the findings were interesting in themselves, they could also have applications in future technologies, such as new drones (无人机) that are quieter when flying through the air. Of course, with some hummingbirds flapping their wings up to 80 times a second, it’s unlikely that we’ll see drones capable of copying these unique birds anytime soon. 12. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 1 mean? A. Solved the puzzle. B. Broken the silence. C. Learned their lesson. D. Accepted the challenge. 13. Which of the following factors may NOT contribute to the hum of hummingbirds? A. The sizes of their wings. B. The speed of the wing movements. C. The forces produced during their flight. D. The direction of the wing movements. 14. What does the last paragraph indicate? A. The market of drones will be encouraging. B. Researchers are disappointed with the findings. C. The new findings will be possibly used in drones in the future. D. New drones will soon be comparable in flying speed to hummingbirds. 15. What can be the best title for this text? A. What Makes Hummingbirds Fascinating B. Where to Meet the Most Unique Birds C. How Birds Make Different Sounds D. Why Hummingbirds Hum 【答案】12. A 13. A 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了研究人员破解了类似蜂鸟“嗡嗡声”的声音，通过这些声音绘制飞机的声音地图，并记录声音产生过程中压力，阻力与时间的变化关系。 【12题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段中的“Hummingbirds might be instantly recognizable from the hum (嗡嗡声), but the cause of the characteristic has long been a mystery. (通过一种嗡嗡声，我们可以立刻识别出蜂鸟，但这一声音产生的原因一直是个谜。) ”可知，嗡嗡声产生的原因是未知的。根据下文“finally taking the “hmm?” out of hummingbirds (通过蜂鸟分析出嗡嗡声)”可知，现在科学家掌握了嗡嗡声产生的原因。由此推知，划线短语cracked the conundrum表示科学家破解了上句中提到的难题，故选A项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The results reveal that aerodynamic (空气动力学的) forces produced as the wings move, together with the speed and direction of the wing movements, are enough to explain the hummingbirds’ hum. (研究结果表明，翅膀震动时产生的力，以及翅膀震动的方向和速度足以解释嗡嗡声产生的原因。)”可知，嗡嗡声的产生与翅膀震动产生的力，震动的方向和速度相关，与翅膀的大小无关。故选A项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The researchers said that while the findings were interesting in themselves, they could also have applications in future technologies, such as new drones (无人机) that are quieter when flying through the air. (研究者说,虽然研究结果本身只是有趣，但他们也可以应用在未来的技术中，如新的无人机在空中飞行时可以保持安静。)”可知，这项新技术可以应用到将来的无人机中，故选C项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Now researchers say they have cracked the conundrum, finally taking the “hmm?” out of hummingbirds. (现在研究人员已经破解了这一谜题，最终从蜂鸟本身得出了嗡嗡声的答案。)”可知，本文主要论述蜂鸟产生嗡嗡声的原因，故选D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。 The average cost of an iPhone has climbed up, and even the most affordable Android devices come with arising price. ____16____ It is wise to pay close attention to the best practices for extending the life of your smartphone.

Feeling that I had hit a career bottleneck as a photographer and copywriter, I, without any hesitation, made the decision to move with him. While my husband engaged in work, my visa didn’t grant (准许) me the same privilege. I didn’t know what to do. I was left isolated, homesick and lacking purpose. Our new home was near a river that cut across expansive grasslands. With few people around our home, I turned to nature, which had been a fondness of mine since childhood. Every day, I would take my camera and wander around, photographing aimlessly. It wasn’t long before September arrived, bringing the full flow of the rainy season. After one particularly bad thunderstorm, I found a finch (雀) — a poor little thing barely a month old with one wing broken — on the ground. Evidently, he had been abandoned by his flock, his nest blown from a tree. The sight was heartbreaking. He was the size of my little finger. His eyes were tightly shut and he was shaking, too young to survive alone. I somehow felt a connection with it. Immediately I took him into my arms and cautiously placed him in a cardboard box with towels and stayed up all night researching how to care for him. The next day, he seemed to regain some energy. He woke with his mouth open, though still too weak to let out a call. I fed him on some food and chirped (叽喳) at him. To my amusement, he chirped back and even climbed into my hand. I affectionately gazed at this adorable creature, who was now bravely pecking (啄) my fingers now and then. A surge of warmth ran through me. Gently touching his feathers, I chirped a lullaby（摇篮曲）, singing him to sleep. Gradually, his eyes dropped and he fell asleep. I couldn’t help but smile at the scene — as far as he was concerned, I was his mother. 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。 “I will take care of you.” I murmured, making my promise to him. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ While staring at the photos, I felt a sense of joy and fulfillment. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】“I will take care of you.” I murmured, making my promise to him. Over the following days, my daily routine revolved around this tiny and fragile creature. I searched the Internet for the tips on caring an injured finch, diligently following every piece of advice. With each day passing, the little thing grew stronger, his broken wing healing, his eyes now gleaming with curiosity and his chirp livelier than before. Meanwhile, our bond also deepened — I could almost understand his chirps and he would hop on my hand, perched on my shoulder and even nestled in the crook of my arm. One day, while feeding him as usual, I captured the lovely moment with my camera. （102词） While staring at the photos, I felt a sense of joy and fulfillment. I decided to document the charming aspects of my feathery friend and our unique life here in Ghana. As I recorded and shared our story with the world, it was well-received and soon went viral. Numerous followers wrote to me, eager to know more about our story. Never in my wildest dream had I thought that I would reconnect with the world in this way. I regained the passion for life. Months later, this adorable finch totally recovered and I returned him to nature. But this unexpected encounter remained a turning point in my life, helping me find purpose, joy and a renewed sense of self. （104词） 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者2013年跟随丈夫搬到加纳后的生活经历。在加纳，由于签证问题，作者没有工作，感到孤立、思乡，并且缺乏目标。然而，在一次雷雨后，作者发现了一只受伤的小雀，决定照顾它并通过照料它，作者重新找到了人生的意义和目标，决心用摄影来为动物们的生命故事发声。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我会照顾你的。”我低声说，向他保证。”可知，第一段可描写作者倾注爱和关心去照顾这只雀的过程。 ②由第二段首句内容“看着这些照片，我感到一种喜悦和满足感”可知，第二段可描写作者在照顾鸟的过程中发生的内心变化和生活感悟。 2.续写线索：决定照顾鸟——倾注爱和关心让鸟恢复健康——重新发现自己的目标感和成就感——作者内心的态度发生变化——最终感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①了解：learn about/ acquaint/ understand ② 搜寻：search/hunt for/hunt for 情绪类 ①可爱的，讨人喜欢的：adorable/lovely ② 感受到一种新的希望和喜悦：feel a renewed sense of hope and joy/feel hopeful and joyful 【点睛】[高分句型1] One day, while feeding him as usual, I captured the lovely moment with my camera.（while引导的时间状语从句和省略句） [高分句型2] As I recorded and shared our story with the world, it was well-received and soon went viral.（运用了as引导时间状语从句） 听力1—5 ABCBA 6—10 ACACB 11—15 CCBCC 16—20 BABAC 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
