B Sometimes I try to turn the TV off and ignore it, but it calls to me: Cindy... just come and spend a little time with me to wake up... watch the morning news... you have to know what’s going on in the world. An hour later, when I should be doing dishes or laundry, I am attracted by the promos (宣传片) and I have to watch the next show. Just a little, I tell myself, and another hour goes by. Finally, I make myself turn it off and get busy with the chores of life. I work for an hour or two, and to my surprise, it’s time for lunch. Who wants to eat lunch alone? I turn on the TV for a little “company”, I watch some reruns of one of my favorites and enjoy my hour-long lunch break with my “friends.” Then I decide to keep the TV on, “just for noise.” while I continue with chores. I bring in laundry to fold, but end up watching TV and folding laundry only during commercials. I bring things into the living room so I can “listen” while I work, but once again, TV is so appealing that I only get to my chores during commercials. Suddenly, it’s time to make dinner. I still keep the TV on while I cook. My husband and I eat dinner while watching TV, because he wants to stay informed. After a long day at work, he wants to watch a little TV and relax. Who am I to deny him this privilege? Naturally, I keep him company, because I haven’t seen him all day. The evening disappears in a few sitcoms and a “made-for-TV” movie, I even force myself to stay up and watch the last show. I calculate that the TV is on in our house for about fifteen hours a day! That’s 105 hours a week. Gone are the days of reading, panting, taking walks, or sitting on the swing in the garden talking to old friends on the phone. All are put off until the next commercial or the end of the show. It’s time to take my life back. I’m disconnecting from TV. 4. What do we know about the author from the first paragraph? A.

However, employers have begun asking workers to return to physical offices amid fears that remote and hybrid work reduces productivity. A study recently published in the scientific journal Nature suggests that the hybrid model makes workers happier, less likely to quit, and has no impact on productivity. Stanford University economics professor Nick Bloom and colleagues conducted research on the effects of hybrid working on 1.612 employees at Trip, com, a global travel agent site based in Shanghai. The researchers surveyed the employees, who all worked in engineering, marketing, and finance in the company's airfare and IT divisions, between 2021 and 2022. They found that the company’s hybrid work schedule improved job satisfaction and decreased quit rates by 33%, especially among non-managers, female employees, and those with long commutes (通勤). The study also revealed that employees working in-office or in a hybrid model did not experience a notable difference in performance reviews or promotions between the two years. “This is an important result given the evidence that fully remote working can damage employee development and promotions,” the study reads. Moreover, workers had the same productivity rates regardless of whether they worked in-office or at home under the hybrid model. To determine employee productivity, the researchers analyzed scores workers received in categories like innovation, leadership, development, and execution (执行) of projects in performance reviews. They found no difference in the reviews among employees who worked solely in the office and those that were hybrid. Employees who participated in the research were surveyed twice on their views about how working from home impacted productivity. The first survey was conducted when executives first decided to experiment with a hybrid model in 2021, and the second was at the end of the researchers' time analyzing worker productivity in 2022. Bloom and his colleagues found that the experience of hybrid working led to a small improvement in average employees’ beliefs about the productivity impact of hybrid work. 8. What does the underlined word “shuttered” in paragraph 1 probably mean? A. Decorated. B. Expanded. C. Closed. D. Ruined. 9. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The research findings. B. The research purpose. C. The research subjects. D. The research process. 10. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. The hybrid work model was initially suspected by companies. B. The employee productivity declined during the hybrid work experiment. C. The hybrid work model changed employees’ beliefs about when to work. D. The surveys showed a positive change in employees’ views on hybrid work. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. The Struggles of Returning to Physical Offices B The Advantages of Remote Work for Companies C. The Popularity of Remote Work After the Pandemic D. The Impact of Hybrid Work on Employee Productivity D Human doctors perform amputations (截肢), or removal of an arm, leg, or finger, after a serious injury. The purpose of this action is to prevent infection or disease. But humans are not alone in doing them. New research shows that some ants perform amputations on injured ants to help them survive an injury. The behavior was documented in Florida carpenter ants. Scientists said they observed these ants treating injured ants in the colony in two ways. They either cleaned the wound using their mouth parts or amputated the limb, or leg, by biting it off. The choice of care depended on the injury's location. When it was further up the leg, they always amputated. When it was further down, they never amputated. Erik Frank of the University of Wurzburg in Germany is the lead writer of the research. It appeared recently in the publication Current Biology. Frank said the study describes for the first time how a non-human animal uses amputations on another individual to save their life. The researchers studied injuries to the upper and lower parts of the leg. Such injuries are common ly found in different kinds of ants while fighting and hunting among insects and animals. Frank said, "The ants decide between amputating the leg or spending more time caring for the wound. We do not know how they decide this. But we know why the treatment differs." "It has to do with the flow of hemolymph (血淋巴). Injuries further down the leg have an increased hemolymph flow." Frank said. So harmful bacteria can enter the body after only five minutes. An amputation would not help infection after that time. He continued, "Injuries further up the leg have a much slower hemolymph flow, giving enough time for timely and effective amputations." The study found that after an upper le g injury, an ant that experiences amputation has a survival rate of 90 to 95 percent. For lower leg injuries in which just cleaning was performed. the survival rate was about 75 percent, compared to about 15 percent for injuries that received no care. 12. Why do ants perform amputations on injured members of their colony? A. To prepare for a future battle. B. To practice their survival skills. C. To show dominance over other ants. D. To ensure the survival of the injured ants. 13. What does Erik Frank think of their study? A. Pioneering. B. Interesting. C. Challenging. D. Disappointing. 14. What does paragraph 5 mainly talk about? A. The two treatment methods for leg injuries. B. The survival rates after different treatments. C. The importance of hemolymph flow in injury response. D. The effect of hemolymph flow on amputation decisions. 15. What is the author's purpose of writing this text? A. To tell a unique story about ants. B. To share a new scientific discovery. C. To introduce some survival skills of ants. D. To persuade scientists to further research ants. 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Final exams and big semester-end papers are among the most challenging aspects of the college experience, ____16____.

I needed to find a real way for my teenage students to make a difference. We decided to help the homeless. We began by collecting food and clothing for people in need. Just days before our scheduled trip, our local newspaper ran an article about the many organizations helping the homeless along Hastings Street, an area known as Canada’s poorest neighborhood. We realized that the homeless there were already receiving plenty of food and clothing, so we decided to look for a more significant way to make a difference. Rather than handing out food and clothing, we developed what we call Project HELLO (Helping Everyone Locate Loved Ones), and we made greeting cards so that the homeless had something to give. The idea was simple: We would take our blank, handmade greeting cards to the streets and invite people to write to those they had lost touch with Magic began. One by one, people who had not spoken with family for years opened up and shared their stories. The homeless wrote to their children, parents, friends and siblings. We searched phone directories to connect with families and mailed messages of love from long-lost loved ones. We made hundreds of connections. I recognized that some of the stories were so raw that our five-minute visits were not enough. I began what I call “Beyond HELLO” and made the personal commitment to take a homeless person to lunch once a month to hear his or her story. Cindy was the first lady I met. She had moved to Vancouver twenty years earlier after ending a miserable marriage and giving her child up for adoption in Ontario. She suffered great pan as she was battling cancer. On the day we met, she was sitting on the sidewalk. I approached her with water and she told me she was starving. With a smile, I invited her to lunch, during which our friendship began. Despite Cindy’s pain, she hung onto hope — her one reason for living. Although twenty-seven years had passed, Cindy still dreamed of meeting her daughter. She asked for my help. She knew the date of birth and that her daughter’s birth name was Paige. 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。 With determination in my heart, I promised Cindy that I would do everything in my power to help her reconnect with her daughter. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The day of their re union was one of the most moving moments of my life. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024-2025学年高三年级9月入学摸底考试 英语 注意事项：1.考试时间为120分钟，满分150分。 2.答题前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡相应的位置。 第一部分听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 （共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面1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.

An hour later, when I should be doing dishes or laundry, I am attracted by the promos (宣传片) and I have to watch the next show. Just a little, I tell myself, and another hour goes by. Finally, I make myself turn it off and get busy with the chores of life. I work for an hour or two, and to my surprise, it’s time for lunch. Who wants to eat lunch alone? I turn on the TV for a little “company”, I watch some reruns of one of my favorites and enjoy my hour-long lunch break with my “friends.” Then I decide to keep the TV on, “just for noise.” while I continue with chores. I bring in laundry to fold, but end up watching TV and folding laundry only during commercials. I bring things into the living room so I can “listen” while I work, but once again, TV is so appealing that I only get to my chores during commercials. Suddenly, it’s time to make dinner. I still keep the TV on while I cook. My husband and I eat dinner while watching TV, because he wants to stay informed. After a long day at work, he wants to watch a little TV and relax. Who am I to deny him this privilege? Naturally, I keep him company, because I haven’t seen him all day. The evening disappears in a few sitcoms and a “made-for-TV” movie, I even force myself to stay up and watch the last show. I calculate that the TV is on in our house for about fifteen hours a day! That’s 105 hours a week. Gone are the days of reading, panting, taking walks, or sitting on the swing in the garden talking to old friends on the phone. All are put off until the next commercial or the end of the show. It’s time to take my life back. I’m disconnecting from TV. 4. What do we know about the author from the first paragraph? A.

However, employers have begun asking workers to return to physical offices amid fears that remote and hybrid work reduces productivity. A study recently published in the scientific journal Nature suggests that the hybrid model makes workers happier, less likely to quit, and has no impact on productivity. Stanford University economics professor Nick Bloom and colleagues conducted research on the effects of hybrid working on 1.612 employees at Trip, com, a global travel agent site based in Shanghai. The researchers surveyed the employees, who all worked in engineering, marketing, and finance in the company's airfare and IT divisions, between 2021 and 2022. They found that the company’s hybrid work schedule improved job satisfaction and decreased quit rates by 33%, especially among non-managers, female employees, and those with long commutes (通勤). The study also revealed that employees working in-office or in a hybrid model did not experience a notable difference in performance reviews or promotions between the two years. “This is an important result given the evidence that fully remote working can damage employee development and promotions,” the study reads. Moreover, workers had the same productivity rates regardless of whether they worked in-office or at home under the hybrid model. To determine employee productivity, the researchers analyzed scores workers received in categories like innovation, leadership, development, and execution (执行) of projects in performance reviews. They found no difference in the reviews among employees who worked solely in the office and those that were hybrid. Employees who participated in the research were surveyed twice on their views about how working from home impacted productivity. The first survey was conducted when executives first decided to experiment with a hybrid model in 2021, and the second was at the end of the researchers' time analyzing worker productivity in 2022. Bloom and his colleagues found that the experience of hybrid working led to a small improvement in average employees’ beliefs about the productivity impact of hybrid work. 8. What does the underlined word “shuttered” in paragraph 1 probably mean? A. Decorated. B. Expanded. C. Closed. D. Ruined. 9. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The research findings. B. The research purpose. C. The research subjects. D. The research process. 10. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. The hybrid work model was initially suspected by companies. B. The employee productivity declined during the hybrid work experiment. C. The hybrid work model changed employees’ beliefs about when to work. D The surveys showed a positive change in employees’ views on hybrid work. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. The Struggles of Returning to Physical Offices B. The Advantages of Remote Work for Companies C. The Popularity of Remote Work After the Pandemic D. The Impact of Hybrid Work on Employee Productivity 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. D 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章主要介绍了一项混合工作对员工生产力的影响的研究。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词前“Remote work has become the norm for millions of white-collar workers in the United States(远程工作已成为美国数百万白领的常态)”可知，此处指“自四年前新冠肺炎疫情导致办公室关闭以来”，shuttered意为“关闭”，故选C。 【9题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段中“The study also revealed that employees working in-office or in a hybrid model did not experience a notable difference in performance reviews or promotions between the two years.(研究还显示，两年间，在办公室工作或在混合模式下工作的员工在绩效评估或晋升方面没有显著差异)”和“Moreover, workers had the same productivity rates regardless of whether they worked in-office or at home under the hybrid model.(此外，在混合模式下，无论是在办公室工作还是在家工作，员工的生产率都是一样的)”以及“They found no difference in the reviews among employees who worked solely in the office and those that were hybrid.(他们发现，单独在办公室工作的员工和混合在办公室工作的员工的评价没有区别)”可知，第三段主要介绍研究结果，故选A。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Employees who participated in the research were surveyed twice on their views about how working from home impacted productivity.(参与研究的员工接受了两次关于在家工作如何影响工作效率的调查)”和“Bloom and his colleagues found that the experience of hybrid working led to a small improvement in average employees’ beliefs about the productivity impact of hybrid work.(Bloom和他的同事们发现，混合工作的经历使普通员工对混合工作对生产力影响的看法有了小幅改善)”可知，调查显示，员工对混合工作的看法发生了积极变化。故选D。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文内容，结合第一段中“A study recently published in the scientific journal Nature suggests that the hybrid model makes workers happier, less likely to quit, and has no impact on productivity.(最近发表在科学杂志《自然》上的一项研究表明，这种混合模式让员工更快乐，更不容易辞职，而且对生产率没有影响)”可知，文章主要介绍了一项混合工作对员工生产力的影响的研究，D项“混合工作对员工生产力的影响”为最佳标题，故选D。 D Human doctors perform amputations (截肢), or removal of an arm, leg, or finger, after a serious injury. The purpose of this action is to prevent infection or disease. But humans are not alone in doing them. New research shows that some ants perform amputations on injured ants to help them survive an injury. The behavior was documented in Florida carpenter ants. Scientists said they observed these ants treating injured ants in the colony in two ways. They either cleaned the wound using their mouth parts or amputated the limb, or leg, by biting it off. The choice of care depended on the injury's location. When it was further up the leg, they always amputated. When it was further down, they never amputated. Erik Frank of the University of Wurzburg in Germany is the lead writer of the research. It appeared recently in the publication Current Biology. Frank said the study describes for the first time how a non-human animal uses amputations on another individual to save their life. The researchers studied injuries to the upper and lower parts of the leg. Such injuries are common ly found in different kinds of ants while fighting and hunting among insects and animals. Frank said "The ants decide between amputating the leg or spending more time caring for the wound. We do not know how they decide this. But we know why the treatment differs." "It has to do with the flow of hemolymph (血淋巴). Injuries further down the leg have an increased hemolymph flow." Frank said. So harmful bacteria can enter the body after only five minutes. An amputation would not help infection after that time. He continued, "Injuries further up the leg have a much slower hemolymph flow, giving enough time for timely and effective amputations." The study found that after an upper le g injury, an ant that experiences amputation has a survival rate of 90 to 95 percent. For lower leg injuries in which just cleaning was performed. the survival rate was about 75 percent, compared to about 15 percent for injuries that received no care. 12. Why do ants perform amputations on injured members of their colony? A. To prepare for a future battle. B. To practice their survival skills. C. To show dominance over other ants. D. To ensure the survival of the injured ants. 13. What does Erik Frank think of their study? A. Pioneering. B. Interesting. C. Challenging. D. Disappointing. 14. What does paragraph 5 mainly talk about? A. The two treatment methods for leg injuries. B. The survival rates after different treatments. C. The importance of hemolymph flow in injury response. D. The effect of hemolymph flow on amputation decisions. 15. What is the author's purpose of writing this text? A. To tell a unique story about ants. B. To share a new scientific discovery. C. To introduce some survival skills of ants. D. To persuade scientists to further research ants. 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. C 15. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇科普说明文，主要介绍了科学家们最近发现的一种特殊行为——蚂蚁对受伤同伴进行截肢手术。文章详细描述了这种行为的特点、原因和效果，突出了这一发现的科学意义。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“New research shows that some ants perform amputations on injured ants to help them survive an injury”（新的研究表明，一些蚂蚁会对受伤的蚂蚁进行截肢，以帮助它们更好地生存。）可知，蚂蚁进行截肢是为了帮助受伤的蚂蚁存活。故选D项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。文章第三段提到“Frank said the study describes for the first time how a non-human animal uses amputations on another individual to save their life”（弗兰克说，这项研究首次描述了非人类动物如何通过截肢来拯救另一个个体的生命）这表明这项研究是首次描述非人类动物对同类进行截肢以拯救生命的行为，因此可以推断Frank认为这项研究是开创性的(Pioneering)。故选A项。 【14题详解】 主旨大意题。第五段“‘It has to do with the flow of hemolymph （血淋巴）. Injuries further down the leg have an increased hemolymph flow. ’Frank said. So harmful bacteria can enter the body after only five minutes. An amputation would not help infection after that time. He continued, ‘Injuries further up the leg have a much slower hemolymph flow, giving enough time for timely and effective amputations. ’”（这与血淋巴的流动有关。法兰克说，腿部下方的伤口会导致血淋巴流动增加。因此，有害细菌在仅仅五分钟内就能进入体内。在那段时间后，截肢对感染没有帮助。他接着说，腿部上方的伤口血淋巴流动要慢得多，这样就有足够的时间进行及时有效的截肢）主要介绍了血淋巴流动在蚂蚁决定是否截肢中的重要性。段落解释了伤口位置不同，血淋巴流动速度不同，这直接影响了蚂蚁的治疗决策。因此，该段主要强调的是血淋巴流动在处理伤口反应中的重要性。故选C项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。第一段“New research shows that some ants perform amputations on injured ants to help them survive an injury”（新的研究表明，一些蚂蚁会对受伤的蚂蚁进行截肢，以帮助它们更好地生存）介绍一项新的科学发现即蚂蚁对同类进行截肢手术的行为。其余段落细描述了这一发现的细节、原因和意义，明显是为了分享这一新的科学发现。故选B项。 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Final exams and big semester-end papers are among the most challenging aspects of the college experience, ____16____.

I needed to find a real way for my teenage students to make a difference. We decided to help the homeless. We began by collecting food and clothing for people in need. Just days before our scheduled trip, our local newspaper ran an article about the many organizations helping the homeless along Hastings Street, an area known as Canada’s poorest neighborhood. We realized that the homeless there were already receiving plenty of food and clothing, so we decided to look for a more significant way to make a difference. Rather than handing out food and clothing, we developed what we call Project HELLO (Helping Everyone Locate Loved Ones), and we made greeting cards so that the homeless had something to give. The idea was simple: We would take our blank, handmade greeting cards to the streets and invite people to write to those they had lost touch with Magic began. One by one, people who had not spoken with family for years opened up and shared their stories. The homeless wrote to their children, parents, friends and siblings. We searched phone directories to connect with families and mailed messages of love from long-lost loved ones. We made hundreds of connections. I recognized that some of the stories were so raw that our five-minute visits were not enough. I began what I call “Beyond HELLO” and made the personal commitment to take a homeless person to lunch once a month to hear his or her story. Cindy was the first lady I met. She had moved to Vancouver twenty years earlier after ending a miserable marriage and giving her child up for adoption in Ontario. She suffered great pan as she was battling cancer. On the day we met, she was sitting on the sidewalk. I approached her with water and she told me she was starving. With a smile, I invited her to lunch, during which our friendship began. Despite Cindy’s pain, she hung onto hope — her one reason for living. Although twenty-seven years had passed, Cindy still dreamed of meeting her daughter. She asked for my help. She knew the date of birth and that her daughter’s birth name was Paige. 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。 With determination in my heart I promised Cindy that I would do everything in my power to help her reconnect with her daughter. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The day of their re union was one of the most moving moments of my life. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 With determination in my heart, I promised Cindy that I would do everything in my power to help her reconnect with her daughter. I reached out to adoption agencies, searched public records, and even contacted local law enforcement to see if there were any leads. Months passed, and the search seemed endless at times, but I refused to give up. I kept Cindy updated on my progress, even when there were no breakthroughs, hoping to keep her spirits high. Finally, after a year of tireless effort, I received a call from a distant relative of Paige’s who had seen Cindy’s story on social media. They had a connection to the adoptive family and were willing to help facilitate a reunion. The day of their reunion was one of the most moving moments of my life. Cindy and I waited anxiously in a cozy café, both of us filled with anticipation and a mix of emotions. As the door opened and Paige walked in, Cindy’s eyes lit up with tears of joy. They embraced, holding each other tightly, as if they were never going to let go. I watched from a distance, feeling a profound sense of accomplishment and gratitude for being a part of such a miraculous moment. It was a beautiful reminder of the power of hope and the indomitable spirit of the human heart. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者和学生决定帮助无家可归的人，他们没有分发食物和衣服，而是开展了一个名为HELLO的项目，他们制作贺卡，这样无家可归的人就有东西可以送人。某天他们遇到了辛迪，想要寻找她的女儿佩吉，虽然27年过去了，辛迪仍然梦想着见到她的女儿。经过不懈努力，作者最终帮助她找到了女儿，两人得以团聚。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“带着内心的决心，我向辛迪承诺，我会尽我所能帮助她和她的女儿重新建立联系”可知，第一段可描写作者为寻找女儿所付出的一些努力以及成果。 ②由第二段首句内容“他们团聚的那一天是我一生中最感动的时刻之一”可知，第二段可描写作者见证了两人的团聚，十分感动。 2.续写线索：承诺找女儿——开始找女儿——得到女儿信息——两人团聚——作者感动——作者感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①联系：reach out to/get in touch with ②时间流逝：pass/go by ③拒绝：refuse/turn down 情绪类 ①愿意的：willing/glad ②感激：gratitude/appreciation 【点睛】[高分句型1] I kept Cindy updated on my progress, even when there were no breakthroughs, hoping to keep her spirits high.
