Pet charity Blue Cross advises planning well in advance so you know that your pet will be comfortable. Family and friends Leaving your pet in the care of a trusted friend or neighbour will give you peace of mind that it will be well cared for. Your pet will be able to stay with them in their home. Things to consider if your pet is staying in another house: · Do they have another dog or pet and will they get on with your pet? · Do they have a garden? Is the garden secure so your pet can’t escape? Pet sitter Pet sitters stay in or visit your home to look after your pet while you’re away for a fee. This is a good option which allows your pet to stay in a familiar environment and you will receive regular updates. How to find a good pet sitter: · Ask friends and family for recommendations for pet sitters. · Pet sitters don’t need a license to work, but reputable ones will be able to show you training and insurance certificates. · Check reviews online from independent review sites.

How to find a boarding kennel: · Get a personal recommendation, and check the kennel is licensed. · Ask if you can visit before you book. · Ask about insurance cover and the procedure for contacting a vet (兽医). 1.

B When Stanford University student Ellen Xu, now 18, was a five-year-old in San Diego, California, she clearly remembers that her parents rushed her little sister to the hospital. Three-year-old Kate had fallen seriously ill; she had a fever, reddened eyes, and some swelling (肿胀) in her hands and tongue. At first, the puzzled doctors thought she had flu, but when her condition didn’t improve, the Xus returned to the clinic room, where a doctor by chance had a similar earlier experience with such symptoms (症状) in the blood known as Kawasaki disease. Though rare (罕见的), it’s the leading cause of the heart disease in babies and young children, and its causes remain unknown. The doctor knew how to treat it: He ordered some medicine for Kate, and finally she shook off-the illness without suffering damage to her heart. Xu remembers being curious about her sister’s illness condition and was amazed that the grown-ups couldn’t answer her questions about why it was so hard to check. “In my mind, it was this puzzle I wanted to solve,” she says. Ten years later, wanting to enter a high school science fair, she had an idea. What if we had a doctor in our pocket? So she created just that: Using Al, Xu designed a program that uses visual facts to check the disease based on five physical symptoms. The technology works the same way as apps that can identify birds and plants with photos you’ve taken on your cellphone. Worried parents can upload a photo that they have taken of their child, and the technology will scan the picture for symptoms of the disease, which often have strong visual factors, such as a swollen longue. Xu’s invention has been applied as a web app on the website. “The technology could also be developed for recognizing some other diseases,” she says. “It means a lot to me. I want to use AI to help people live happier and healthier lives.” Xu says that her sister Kale, now in her third year of high school with dreams of becoming an environmental engineer, is strong and healthy. 4. Why did the author mention Kate’s illness? A. To explain who treated Kate’s illness. B. To prove how serious Kale’s illness was. C. To show how much Ellen loved her sister. D. To tell why Ellen wanted to solve the puzzle in her mind. 5. Why did Ellen design the program? A. To save her sister. B. To earn a prize. C. To check a rare disease. D. To identify birds and plants. 6 What can best describe Ellen according to the text? A. Determined and careful. B. Creative and helpful. C. Diligent and selfless. D. Active and easy-going. 7. What is the best title for the text? A. An App That Detects a Rare Disease B. An Invention Helping Doctors C. A Girl Recovering from a Disease D. A New Method to Treat a Disease C Reading poems is not exactly an everyday activity for most people. In fact, many people never read a poem once they get out of high school. It is worth reminding ourselves that this has not always been the case in America. In the nineteenth century, a usual American activity was to sit around the fireside in the evening and read poems aloud. It is true that there was no television at that time, nor movie theatres, nor World Wide Web, to provide diversion. However, poems were a source of pleasure, of self-education, of connection to other people or to the world beyond one’s own community. Reading them was a social act as well as an individual one, and perhaps even more social than individual. Writing poems to share with friends and relations was, like reading poems by the fireside, another way in which poetry has a place in everyday life. How did things change? Why are most Americans no longer comfortable with poetry, and why do most people today think that a poem has nothing to tell them and that they can do well without poems? There are, I believe, three factors: poets, teachers, and we ourselves. Of these, the least important is the third: the world surrounding the poem has betrayed us more than we have betrayed the poem. Early in the twentieth century, poetry in English headed into directions unfavourable to the reading of poetry. Readers decided that poems were not for the fireside or the easy chair at night, and that they belonged where other difficult-to-read things belonged. Poets failed the reader, so did teachers. They want their students to know something about the skills of a poem; they want their students to see that poems mean something. Yet what usually occurs when teachers push these concerns on their high school students is that young people decide poems are unpleasant crossword puzzles. 8. Why is reading poems thought to be a social act in the nineteenth century? A Because it built a link among people. B. Because it helped unite a community. C. Because it was a source of self-education. D. Because it was a source of pleasure. 9. What does the underlined word “diversion” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Stories. B. Changes. C. Amusements. D. Concentrations. 10. What is the main cause of the great gap between readers and poetry? A. Students are poorly educated in high school. B. Poems have become difficult to understand. C. Students are becoming less interested in poetry. D. TV and the Internet are more attractive than poetry. 11. What does the author try to tell us by writing the text? A. The history and changes of poetry. B. The correct way for teachers to teach poetry. C. The failure of poetry in people’s life nowadays. D. The reason why people aren’t keen on poetry today. D All day, every day, we are hit by images promoting food of every type: television commercials for pizza, online ads for cheeseburgers, billboards for fried chicken, ad nauseam. This might evoke our potential appetite to eat, but a new research shows these images, if viewed often enough, actually satisfy our cravings and diminish (降低) our desire to eat. This discovery may come as a shock to snack-makers and food manufacturers, who invest heavily in ads that are supposed to stimulate our hunger. The research, conducted at Aarhus University in Denmark, examined the different ways our perceptions of food affect our cravings. More than 1,100 people participated in a series of online studies led by Tjark Andersen, a Ph.D. candidate at Aarhus’ Department of Food Science. In one experiment, people were exposed to an online photo of orange M&M candies either three times or 30 times. Participants who saw the image 30 times had less desire to eat M&Ms than those who saw only three images of the candies. Additionally, people who saw 30 images stated they would choose a smaller portion of M&Ms than the group that saw just three images. “Your appetite is more closely linked with your cognitive perception than most of us think,” Andersen said in a statement. “How we think about our food is very important. You will receive a physiological response to something you have only thought about. That’s why we can feel fully satisfied without eating anything,” he added. The researchers, who published their results in the Journal Appetite, also looked at how the food’s color affected desire for it, by providing M&Ms in a variety of hues. The results didn’t change — people still wanted less of the food after viewing images of it 30 times. Even when colorful Skittles — candies that have a different flavor for each color — were introduced, the results of the experiment were largely the same. “If color did not have a significant impact, it implies that the perceived taste must be a contributing factor. However, our findings indicated that even the imagined taste did not have a major effect on satiety,” Andersen said. The study may be of particular interest to advertisers, who have repeatedly come under fire for promoting foods that contribute to the obesity epidemic. “There are plenty of experimental studies showing these ads are affecting people and actually causing people to consume more unhealthy food,” Brennan Davis, a marketing professor at California Polytechnic State University’s Orfalea College of Business, said in a statement. “And we know that eating unhealthy food leads to higher rates of overweight and obesity,” Davis added. 12. What is the purpose of the research introduced by the author in the first paragraph? A. To attract reader’s interest. B. To illustrate a new concept. C. To lead to the topic. D. To deny a conventional opinion. 13. How did the researchers draw a conclusion in the research? A. By drawing a parallel. B. By making comparisons. C. By studying statistics. D. By doing different experiments. 14. What role does cognitive perception play in relation to appetite? A. It is an insignificant factor in influencing appetite. B. It determines the physiological response to food. C. It triggers overeating when viewing images of unhealthy foods. D. It is more closely associated with appetite than previously thought. 15. What can we infer from the research? A. Frequent exposure to food images does not affect our desire to eat. B. Food manufacturers unintentionally suppress our appetite with their ads. C. Our cognitive perception plays a significant role in controlling our appetite. D. Colorful food images stimulate our appetite more than monochrome ones. 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。 Scientists from the UK recently visited the Arctic, the northernmost region of Earth, to test out a method of “refreezing” its ice. The Arctic is extremely cold, but the ice is melting due to global warming. Over the past 30 years, the oldest and thickest parts have shrunk by as much as 95%. This is a concern because the melting ice causes sea levels to rise. ____16____, whereas the white ice reflects it back into space. In January, a research team traveled to Cambridge Bay, in Arctic Canada. ____17____. This water spread out across the ice and froze, replacing the snow that usually lies there. Having a layer of fresh ice rather than snow on top reduces the temperature of the ice. ____18____, making the ice thicker by natural means too. The plan is for people who live in the region to measure the thickness of the ice over several weeks. ____19____. Even if the idea works and the ice gets thicker, it could still take about 10 million pumps to reverse the melting ice all over the Arctic. “That’s a lot of pumps ... but it’s not absolutely out of this world,” said Shaun Fitzgerald from the University of Cambridge, which is involved in the expedition. ____20____. One involves sprinkling powder over the ice to reflect the Sun’s rays back, which could reduce heat and the rate of melting. Another project would install underwater curtains in front of glaciers to protect them from being melted by warm seawater. A. Experts are exploring other ideas too B. It also causes the seawater under it to freeze faster C. This also limits the environmental impact of the study D. It also makes the planet warmer because the dark water absorbs the Sun’s heat E. They cut a hole in the ice and used a pump to bring seawater from under the ice up to the surface F. The pump used by the scientists is powered by green hydrogen, a gas produced using renewable energy G. The team hopes to add about three feet of ice in order to stop it from melting completely during the summer 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 （共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 For the past 17 years, Raquel Radford Baker has been a school bus driver for the Dallas Independent School District.

As a girl of shy and reserved nature, I had to take a fresh start to fit into the sophisticated city life. One sunny day, my school announced an exciting event, a talent show for the local food bank. Students were encouraged to showcase their unique talents in front of the public in the city hall on National Day. A buzz of excitement fed the school as everyone began preparing for the big day. Deep down, I felt a spark of curiosity and a desire to participate. However, my self-doubt held me back, “I don’t have any special skills to share.” Days turned into weeks, and the talent show drew closer. I couldn’t shake the upsetting feeling until one day, Emma, one of the most popular girls in my class, came to me while I was helping in the grocery store after class. “How about singing together in the talent show?” She grinned, “I heard you singing a tune, along the way back home. I can’t help following you here.” Gosh, I couldn’t believe my ears. Emma, with personality and popularity, acknowledged my little talent. Since Emma had the world’s prettiest voice, I felt like being favoured by fortune. “You two? The talent show for the food bank?” My mum bent towards us and her face lit up. “A big occasion.” Then a light bulb seemed to go in her head. “Why not practise right now upstairs? I bet you’ll be a perfect match.” Winking at us, she seemed to know we were thinking alike. Emma and I embarked on rehearsing almost every single day after school. We brainstormed, exchanged ideas and rehearsed the scene. As the days rolled by, I was feeling pretty good about our act. But the day before the performance, Emma called that she had an acute stomachache and was not in any shape to perform. 注意： 1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: I was completely knocked out by the news. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Finally came the big moment. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力1 ~5 ACBBA 6~10 BCABC 11~15 BACBA 16~20 CACCA 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024-2025高二上学期月考卷 英语试卷 全卷满分150分。考试用时120分钟。 注意事项： 1.答题前，先将自己的姓名、考号等填写在试题卷和答题卡上，并将准考证号条形码粘贴在答题卡上的指定位置。 2.选择题的作答：选出每小题答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑，写在试题卷、草稿纸和答题卡上的非答题区域均无效。 3.非选择题的作答：用签字笔直接写在答题卡上对应的答题区域内。写在试题卷、草稿纸和答题卡上的非答题区域均无效。 4.考试结束后，请将本试题卷和答题卡一并上交。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分20分） 第一节 （共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。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。 例： How much is the shirt?

Pet charity Blue Cross advises planning well in advance so you know that your pet will be comfortable.(宠物是我们家庭的一部分，所以当你计划不带它们一起旅行时，把它们考虑进去是很重要的。宠物慈善机构蓝十字会建议提前做好计划，这样你就知道你的宠物会过得很舒服)”可知，本文是写给不计划带宠物出去旅行，而想要宠物得到照顾的人看的。由此推知，“一个要出差的养宠物的人”会觉得这篇文章有用。故选D项。 B When Stanford University student Ellen Xu, now 18, was a five-year-old in San Diego, California, she clearly remembers that her parents rushed her little sister to the hospital. Three-year-old Kate had fallen seriously ill; she had a fever, reddened eyes, and some swelling (肿胀) in her hands and tongue. At first, the puzzled doctors thought she had flu, but when her condition didn’t improve, the Xus returned to the clinic room, where a doctor by chance had a similar earlier experience with such symptoms (症状) in the blood known as Kawasaki disease. Though rare (罕见的), it’s the leading cause of the heart disease in babies and young children, and its causes remain unknown. The doctor knew how to treat it: He ordered some medicine for Kate, and finally she shook off-the illness without suffering damage to her heart. Xu remembers being curious about her sister’s illness condition and was amazed that the grown-ups couldn’t answer her questions about why it was so hard to check. “In my mind, it was this puzzle I wanted to solve,” she says. Ten years later, wanting to enter a high school science fair, she had an idea. What if we had a doctor in our pocket? So she created just that: Using Al, Xu designed a program that uses visual facts to check the disease based on five physical symptoms. The technology works the same way as apps that can identify birds and plants with photos you’ve taken on your cellphone. Worried parents can upload a photo that they have taken of their child, and the technology will scan the picture for symptoms of the disease, which often have strong visual factors, such as a swollen longue. Xu’s invention has been applied as a web app on the website. “The technology could also be developed for recognizing some other diseases,” she says. “It means a lot to me. I want to use AI to help people live happier and healthier lives.” Xu says that her sister Kale, now in her third year of high school with dreams of becoming an environmental engineer, is strong and healthy. 4. Why did the author mention Kate’s illness? A. To explain who treated Kate’s illness. B. To prove how serious Kale’s illness was. C. To show how much Ellen loved her sister. D. To tell why Ellen wanted to solve the puzzle in her mind. 5. Why did Ellen design the program? A. To save her sister. B. To earn a prize. C. To check a rare disease. D. To identify birds and plants. 6. What can best describe Ellen according to the text? A. Determined and careful. B. Creative and helpful. C. Diligent and selfless. D. Active and easy-going. 7. What is the best title for the text? A. An App That Detects a Rare Disease B. An Invention Helping Doctors C. A Girl Recovering from a Disease D. A New Method to Treat a Disease 【答案】4. D 5. C 6. B 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了 Ellen利用人工智能技术创造了一个程序，可以根据症状检测疾病，帮助人们快速地获得诊断，改善健康状况。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Xu remembers being curious about her sister’s illness condition and was amazed that the grown- ups couldn’t answer her questions about why it was so hard to check. “In my mind, it was this puzzle I wanted to solve,” she says.(徐记得当时她对妹妹的病情很好奇，并惊讶于大人们无法回答她为什么很难检查的问题。“在我的脑海里，这是我想要解决的难题，”她说)”可推知，文章提到 Kate 的病，是为了说明 Ellen 想解开心中难题的动机。故选D。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“So she created just that: Using Al, Xu designed a program that uses visual facts to check the disease based on five physical symptoms.(因此，她创造了这样的东西：利用人工智能，徐设计了一个程序，利用视觉事实来检查基于五种身体症状的疾病)”可知，Ellen设计这款程序是为了检测这种罕见病，以此来拯救她的妹妹。故选C。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“ So she created just that: Using AI, Xu designed a program that uses visual facts to check the disease based on five physical symptoms.(因此，她创造了这样的东西：利用人工智能，徐设计了一个程序，利用视觉事实来检查基于五种身体症状的疾病)”可知，Ellen 自己设计了一个用于检查疾病的程序；再根据倒数第二段“ It means a lot to me. I want to use AI to help people live happier and healthier lives.(这对我来说意义重大。我想用人工智能来帮助人们过上更快乐、更健康的生活)”可知， Ellen想用人工智能帮助人们改善生活。由此可推知，Ellen是一个有创造力且乐于助人的人。故选B。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第五段“Ten years later, wanting to enter a high school science fair, she had an idea. What if we had a doctor in our pocket? So she created just that: Using Al, Xu designed a program that uses visual facts to check the disease based on five physical symptoms.(十年后，她有了一个主意，她想参加高中科学博览会。如果我们口袋里有个医生呢？因此，她创造了这样的东西：利用人工智能，徐设计了一个程序，利用视觉事实来检查基于五种身体症状的疾病)”结合本文主要讲述了 Ellen利用人工智能技术创造了一个程序，可以根据症状检测疾病，帮助人们快速地获得诊断，改善健康状况。由此可推知，A项“一款检测罕见疾病的应用”最适合作文章标题。故选 A。 C Reading poems is not exactly an everyday activity for most people. In fact, many people never read a poem once they get out of high school. It is worth reminding ourselves that this has not always been the case in America. In the nineteenth century, a usual American activity was to sit around the fireside in the evening and read poems aloud. It is true that there was no television at that time, nor movie theatres, nor World Wide Web, to provide diversion. However, poems were a source of pleasure, of self-education, of connection to other people or to the world beyond one’s own community. Reading them was a social act as well as an individual one, and perhaps even more social than individual. Writing poems to share with friends and relations was, like reading poems by the fireside, another way in which poetry has a place in everyday life. How did things change? Why are most Americans no longer comfortable with poetry, and why do most people today think that a poem has nothing to tell them and that they can do well without poems? There are, I believe, three factors: poets, teachers, and we ourselves. Of these, the least important is the third: the world surrounding the poem has betrayed us more than we have betrayed the poem. Early in the twentieth century, poetry in English headed into directions unfavourable to the reading of poetry. Readers decided that poems were not for the fireside or the easy chair at night, and that they belonged where other difficult-to-read things belonged. Poets failed the reader, so did teachers. They want their students to know something about the skills of a poem; they want their students to see that poems mean something. Yet what usually occurs when teachers push these concerns on their high school students is that young people decide poems are unpleasant crossword puzzles. 8. Why is reading poems thought to be a social act in the nineteenth century? A. Because it built a link among people. B. Because it helped unite a community. C. Because it was a source of self-education. D. Because it was a source of pleasure. 9. What does the underlined word “diversion” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Stories. B. Changes. C. Amusements. D. Concentrations. 10. What is the main cause of the great gap between readers and poetry? A. Students are poorly educated in high school. B. Poems have become difficult to understand. C. Students are becoming less interested in poetry. D. TV and the Internet are more attractive than poetry. 11. What does the author try to tell us by writing the text? A. The history and changes of poetry. B. The correct way for teachers to teach poetry. C The failure of poetry in people’s life nowadays. D. The reason why people aren’t keen on poetry today. 【答案】8. A 9. C 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，主要讲的是为什么人们不再喜欢诗歌。 8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“However, poems were a source of pleasure, of self-education, of connection to other people or to the world beyond one’s own community. Reading them was a social act as well as an individual one, and perhaps even more social than individual.(然而，诗歌是快乐的来源，是自我教育的来源，是与他人或与自己社区之外的世界联系的来源。阅读它们既是一种个人行为，也是一种社会行为，甚至可能比个人行为更具社会性。)”可知，朗读诗歌在人们之间建立了一种联系。故选A。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词前面的television(电视)、 movie theatres(电影院)和World Wide Web(万维网)可知，这些都是消遣的娱乐形式，因此划线词所在句子表示“的确，那时候没有电视，没有电影院，也没有万维网来提供娱乐”，因此划线词diversion的意思是“消遣，娱乐”，和Amusements意思相近。故选C。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段最后一句中的“Readers decided that poems were not for the fireside or the easy chair at night, and that they belonged where other difficult-to-read things belonged.(读者们认为诗歌不适合晚上坐在炉边或安乐椅上，它们属于其他难以阅读的东西。)”和最后一段“Yet what usually occurs when teachers push these concerns on their high school students is that young people decide poems are unpleasant crossword puzzles.(然而，当老师把这些问题强加给他们的高中生时，通常发生的情况是，年轻人认为诗歌是令人不快的填字游戏。)”可推知，读者与诗歌之间巨大鸿沟的主要原因是诗歌变得难以理解了。故选B。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第三段的几个问题“Why are most Americans no longer comfortable with poetry, and why do most people today think that a poem has nothing to tell them and that they can do well without poems?(为什么大多数美国人不再对诗歌感到自在，为什么今天大多数人认为诗歌没有什么可告诉他们的，他们没有诗歌也能过得很好？)”以及下文就这几个问题展开阐述并告诉读者造成这种现象的原因（人们不再喜欢诗歌的原因）可知，作者试图通过写这篇文章告诉我们今天人们不喜欢诗歌的原因。故选D。 D All day, every day, we are hit by images promoting food of every type: television commercials for pizza, online ads for cheeseburgers, billboards for fried chicken, ad nauseam. This might evoke our potential appetite to eat, but a new research shows these images, if viewed often enough, actually satisfy our cravings and diminish (降低) our desire to eat. This discovery may come as a shock to snack-makers and food manufacturers, who invest heavily in ads that are supposed to stimulate our hunger. The research, conducted at Aarhus University in Denmark, examined the different ways our perceptions of food affect our cravings. More than 1,100 people participated in a series of online studies led by Tjark Andersen, a Ph.D. candidate at Aarhus’ Department of Food Science. In one experiment, people were exposed to an online photo of orange M&M candies either three times or 30 times. Participants who saw the image 30 times had less desire to eat M&Ms than those who saw only three images of the candies. Additionally, people who saw 30 images stated they would choose a smaller portion of M&Ms than the group that saw just three images. “Your appetite is more closely linked with your cognitive perception than most of us think,” Andersen said in a statement. “How we think about our food is very important. You will receive a physiological response to something you have only thought about. That’s why we can feel fully satisfied without eating anything,” he added. The researchers, who published their results in the Journal Appetite, also looked at how the food’s color affected desire for it, by providing M&Ms in a variety of hues. The results didn’t change — people still wanted less of the food after viewing images of it 30 times. Even when colorful Skittles — candies that have a different flavor for each color — were introduced, the results of the experiment were largely the same. “If color did not have a significant impact, it implies that the perceived taste must be a contributing factor. However, our findings indicated that even the imagined taste did not have a major effect on satiety,” Andersen said. The study may be of particular interest to advertisers, who have repeatedly come under fire for promoting foods that contribute to the obesity epidemic. “There are plenty of experimental studies showing these ads are affecting people and actually causing people to consume more unhealthy food,” Brennan Davis, a marketing professor at California Polytechnic State University’s Orfalea College of Business, said in a statement. “And we know that eating unhealthy food leads to higher rates of overweight and obesity,” Davis added. 12. What is the purpose of the research introduced by the author in the first paragraph? A. To attract reader’s interest. B. To illustrate a new concept. C. To lead to the topic. D. To deny a conventional opinion. 13. How did the researchers draw a conclusion in the research? A. By drawing a parallel. B. By making comparisons. C. By studying statistics. D. By doing different experiments. 14. What role does cognitive perception play in relation to appetite? A. It is an insignificant factor in influencing appetite. B. It determines the physiological response to food. C. It triggers overeating when viewing images of unhealthy foods. D. It is more closely associated with appetite than previously thought. 15. What can we infer from the research? A. Frequent exposure to food images does not affect our desire to eat. B. Food manufacturers unintentionally suppress our appetite with their ads. C. Our cognitive perception plays a significant role in controlling our appetite. D. Colorful food images stimulate our appetite more than monochrome ones. 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项新的研究表明，经常看到食品广告图片可能会减少我们对食物的渴望，反而降低食欲。研究者认为，认知感知与食欲的关系比我们之前认为的更为密切，认知感知可以在控制食欲方面起着重要作用。同时，这项研究结果可能引发对食品广告宣传方式的重新思考。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“This might evoke our potential appetite to eat, but a new research shows these images, if viewed often enough, actually satisfy our cravings and diminish (降低) our desire to eat. (这可能会唤起我们潜在的食欲，但一项新的研究表明，如果经常看到这些图像，实际上会满足我们的渴望，减少我们的食欲)”可知，此处先提到一项新研究的研究结果，接下来文章对该研究进行了具体的介绍。由此可知，作者提到这项研究是为了引出文章的话题。故选C项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“More than 1,100 people participated in a series of online studies led by Tjark Andersen, a Ph.D. candidate at Aarhus’ Department of Food Science. In one experiment, people were exposed to an online photo of orange M&M candies either three times or 30 times. (超过1100人参加了奥胡斯食品科学系博士生Tjark Andersen领导的一系列在线研究。在一项实验中，人们在网上看到橙色M&M糖果的照片三次或30次)”、第四段中“The researchers, who published their results in the Journal Appetite, also looked at how the food’s color affected desire for it, by providing M&Ms in a variety of hues. (研究人员在《食欲》杂志上发表了他们的研究结果，他们还通过提供各种颜色的M&M糖果，研究了食物的颜色如何影响人们对它的渴望)”和“Even when colorful Skittles — candies that have a different flavor for each color — were introduced, the results of the experiment were largely the same. (即使引入了五颜六色的彩虹糖——每种颜色都有不同味道的糖果——实验结果在很大程度上是一样的)”可知，在该研究中研究者通过展开一系列的不同实验得出了结论。故选D项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中Andersen所说的话“Your appetite is more closely linked with your cognitive perception than most of us think (你的食欲与你的认知感知的联系比我们大多数人想象的要紧密得多)”可知，认知感知与食欲的关系比我们之前认为的更为密切。故选D项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中Andersen所说的话“How we think about our food is very important. You will receive a physiological response to something you have only thought about. That’s why we can feel fully satisfied without eating anything (我们如何看待食物是非常重要的。你会对你只是想到的事情产生生理反应。这就是为什么我们不吃任何东西也能感到完全满足)”可知，认知感知可以让人产生相应的生理反应，从而满足食欲。由此可知，我们的认知感知在控制食欲方面起着重要作用。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。 Scientists from the UK recently visited the Arctic, the northernmost region of Earth, to test out a method of “refreezing” its ice. The Arctic is extremely cold, but the ice is melting due to global warming. Over the past 30 years, the oldest and thickest parts have shrunk by as much as 95%. This is a concern because the melting ice causes sea levels to rise. ____16____, whereas the white ice reflects it back into space. In January, a research team traveled to Cambridge Bay, in Arctic Canada. ____17____. This water spread out across the ice and froze, replacing the snow that usually lies there. Having a layer of fresh ice rather than snow on top reduces the temperature of the ice. ____18____, making the ice thicker by natural means too. The plan is for people who live in the region to measure the thickness of the ice over several weeks. ____19____. Even if the idea works and the ice gets thicker, it could still take about 10 million pumps to reverse the melting ice all over the Arctic. “That’s a lot of pumps ... but it’s not absolutely out of this world,” said Shaun Fitzgerald from the University of Cambridge, which is involved in the expedition. ____20____. One involves sprinkling powder over the ice to reflect the Sun’s rays back, which could reduce heat and the rate of melting. Another project would install underwater curtains in front of glaciers to protect them from being melted by warm seawater. A. Experts are exploring other ideas too B. It also causes the seawater under it to freeze faster C. This also limits the environmental impact of the study D. It also makes the planet warmer because the dark water absorbs the Sun’s heat E. They cut a hole in the ice and used a pump to bring seawater from under the ice up to the surface F. The pump used by the scientists is powered by green hydrogen, a gas produced using renewable energy G. The team hopes to add about three feet of ice in order to stop it from melting completely during the summer 【答案】16. D 17. E 18. B 19. G 20. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文探讨了英国科学家探索北极冰层再冻结方法，通过抽水结冰和反射阳光减缓融化，虽需大量努力但有望减缓海平面上升。 【16题详解】 由上文“This is a concern because the melting ice causes sea levels to rise. (这是一个令人担忧问题，因为融化的冰会导致海平面上升。)”可知，本空要接着说冰融化的后果，本空后文提到白色冰层反射太阳光，因此可以推断出空处要讨论的是非白色（即深色）的水体如何影响地球的温度。根据常识和物理学原理，深色物体会吸收更多的太阳光，从而产生更多的热量，使得周围环境变暖。故D选项“It also makes the planet warmer because the dark water absorbs the Sun’s heat (它还使地球变暖，因为深色的水吸收了太阳的热量)”能承上启下，符合题意。故选D。 【17题详解】 由下文“This water spread out across the ice and froze, replacing the snow that usually lies there. (这些水在冰上扩散并冻结，取代了通常存在的雪。)”可知，研究人员在冰层上进行了某种操作，使得海水能够到达冰层表面并结冰。因此，故E选项“They cut a hole in the ice and used a pump to bring seawater from under the ice up to the surface (他们在冰上挖了一个洞，用泵把海水从冰下带到水面)”符合上下文语境，说明了研究人员是如何实现海水在冰层上结冰的。故选E。 【18题详解】 由上文“Having a layer of fresh ice rather than snow on top reduces the temperature of the ice. (上面有一层新鲜的冰而不是雪可以降低冰的温度。)”可知，冰层上的一层新冰比雪更能降低冰的温度。而冰的温度降低又会影响其下方的海水。由于冰层下方的海水温度降低，其结冰的速度也会加快。因此，故B选项“It also causes the seawater under it to freeze faster (它还导致其下的海水冻结得更快)”符合上下文语境。故选B。 【19题详解】 由下文“Even if the idea works and the ice gets thicker, it could still take about 10 million pumps to reverse the melting ice all over the Arctic. (即使这个想法奏效，冰层变厚，也可能需要大约1000万台水泵才能逆转整个北极地区的冰川融化。)”可知，本空既呼应了上文提到的冰层测量计划，又为下文提到的即使计划成功也需要大量泵送次数来逆转冰层融化提供了具体的目标：即该团队希望通过增加大约三英尺的冰层来防止冰层在夏季完全融化，这是一个明确且可量化的目标，它解释了为什么需要进行冰层厚度的测量以及为什么即使成功也需要大量的努力。故G选项“The team hopes to add about three feet of ice in order to stop it from melting completely during the summer (该团队希望增加约三英尺的冰，以防止其在夏季完全融化)”，与下文形成了逻辑上的连贯性。故选G。 【20题详解】 由下文“One involves sprinkling powder over the ice to reflect the Sun’s rays back, which could reduce heat and the rate of melting. Another project would install underwater curtains in front of glaciers to protect them from being melted by warm seawater. (一种方法是在冰上撒上粉末以反射太阳光线，这可以减少热量和融化速度。另一个项目是在冰川前安装水下帘子，以保护冰川免受温暖海水的融化。)”可知，下文提到了另外两种减缓冰层融化的方法。这表明除了前文提到的通过泵送海水形成新冰层的方法外，还有其他的方法正在被研究和探索。故A选项“Experts are exploring other ideas too (专家们正在探索其他想法)”，符合上下文语境。故选A。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 （共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 For the past 17 years, Raquel Radford Baker has been a school bus driver for the Dallas Independent School District. Last month, Baker saved the life of a 7-year-old boy who had a ____21____ moment on his way to school when he accidentally swallowed (吞咽) a coin and began to choke. The ____22____, which was caught on tape, took place on September 29. Preston, a first grader, was sitting in his seat on the bus, when he suddenly sat up, ____23____ that the coin he had been holding above his open mouth had ____24____ his throat. He got up and walked to Baker at the front of the bus and tapped her for ____25____. Initially, Baker thought Preston was sick, but ____26____, she heard him say something about a coin and she sprang into ____27____. She grabbed him from behind and carried him off the bus.

(根据汉语提示单词拼写) 【答案】Located 【解析】 【详解】考查动词。句意：紫禁城位于北京市中心，主要由砖砌成。根据汉语提示分析句子可知，空格处应该用动词locate“把……安置在（或建造于）”的非谓语形式作状语，动词locate和主语the Forbidden City之间是被动关系，所以应该用过去分词located。故填Located。 48. The __________ (分布) of resources is unbalanced between rural and urban schools. (根据汉语提示单词拼写) 【答案】distribution 【解析】 【详解】考查名词。句意：城乡学校资源分配不平衡。根据汉语提示和空格后的is可知，空格处应该用名词distribution作主语。故填distribution。 49.

They asked her to be __________ (仁慈的) to the prisoners. (根据汉语提示单词拼写) 【答案】merciful 【解析】 【详解】考查形容词。句意：他们要求她对囚犯仁慈一些。“仁慈的”作表语，表示逻辑主语her的性质，用形容词是merciful；be merciful to sb.意为“对某人仁慈”。故填merciful。 第二节 背诵填空（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分） 下列句子均选自本阶段要求背诵的段落或文章，请根据原文完成句子，每空一词₃ 与原文不符的答案不得分。 51.

(根据句意填空) 【答案】 ①. referred ②. to 【解析】 【详解】考查动词短语。句意：它位于赤道以南，位于地球上许多其他国家的下方，通常被非正式地称为“澳大利亚”。根据句意和空格后的as可知，此处考查固定短语refer to as“称为，称作”，主语it和refer to之间是被动关系，所以用过去分词形式，构成被动语态。故填referred to。 53. After being here for a while, my biggest impression is the complicated mix of peoples and cultures that __________ __________ the nation. (根据句意填空) 【答案】 ①. make ②. up 【解析】 【详解】考查一般现在时。句意：在这里呆了一段时间后，我最大的印象是组成这个国家的各种民族和文化的复杂组合。结合句意可知空格处需要表达“组成”，为动词短语make up；结合is可知本句为描述客观事实，所以用一般现在时；在that引导的定语从句中，主语that指代先行词peoples and cultures，为复数，定语从句的谓语动词用原形即可。故答案为①make；②up。 54.

As a girl of shy and reserved nature, I had to take a fresh start to fit into the sophisticated city life. One sunny day, my school announced an exciting event, a talent show for the local food bank. Students were encouraged to showcase their unique talents in front of the public in the city hall on National Day. A buzz of excitement fed the school as everyone began preparing for the big day. Deep down, I felt a spark of curiosity and a desire to participate. However, my self-doubt held me back, “I don’t have any special skills to share.” Days turned into weeks, and the talent show drew closer. I couldn’t shake the upsetting feeling until one day, Emma, one of the most popular girls in my class, came to me while I was helping in the grocery store after class. “How about singing together in the talent show?” She grinned, “I heard you singing a tune, along the way back home. I can’t help following you here.” Gosh, I couldn’t believe my ears. Emma, with personality and popularity, acknowledged my little talent. Since Emma had the world’s prettiest voice, I felt like being favoured by fortune. “You two? The talent show for the food bank?” My mum bent towards us and her face lit up. “A big occasion.” Then a light bulb seemed to go in her head. “Why not practise right now upstairs? I bet you’ll be a perfect match.” Winking at us, she seemed to know we were thinking alike. Emma and I embarked on rehearsing almost every single day after school. We brainstormed, exchanged ideas and rehearsed the scene. As the days rolled by, I was feeling pretty good about our act. But the day before the performance, Emma called that she had an acute stomachache and was not in any shape to perform. 注意： 1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: I was completely knocked out by the news. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Finally came the big moment. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】I was completely knocked out by the news. What should I do? Having prepared for such a long time, I didn’t think of that coming up. Feeling at a loss, I was brainstorming as hard as I could to think of a solution, when a gentle touch on my back brought me back to reality. It was my mum, who looked at me with care and concern. “You have prepared for it enough. You can do it by yourself.” She said after my stumbled explanation. I looked back at her eyes, and a sense of confidence and warmness swelled up in my heart. Yes, I could do it myself. Finally came the big moment. Looking around the audience, I stepped onto the stage, with butterflies in my stomach. My voice trembled at first, but with the melodies flew around, the nervousness was gone with the wind. Emotions filled in my song, I performed as naturally as I spoke every day. I saw my mum, who was looking at me with reassurance and care. It turned out to be a good performance, which helped me conquer my fears and turned me into a new person. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇读后续写。文章讲述了作者自小性格内向，不爱交际。偶然一次机会，学校组织学生参加才艺表演，同学Emma盛情邀请作者一同参加，这使得作者备受鼓舞。然而在演出前夕，Emma却因急性胃疼不能上台，面对紧急情况，作者只能自己独立完成表演。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①根据第一段首句“我被这个消息所震惊了。”可知，作者在收到Emma不能参演的消息时一时手足无措，再根据第四段妈妈的表现可知，此时妈妈一定会及时出现，安慰作者并给作者勇气，让作者能独立完成表演。 ②根据第二段首句“重大时刻终于到来了。”可知，作者坚持独立上台表演了。可想而知作者刚登上舞台还是会紧张，但是作者天生有副好嗓子，随着表演深入，这种紧张感会消失，并且精彩的完成表演。 2. 续写线索：手足无措——妈妈安慰并打气——决定独立上台——克服紧张，表演完成——升华 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ① 表演：perform/make a performance/show one’s talents ② 做准备：prepare for/make preparations for ③ 参加：participate in/join in/take part in/be involved in ④ 笑：grin/smile/laugh/giggle/chuckle 情绪类 ① 害羞内向的：shy/reserved/introverted ② 好奇的：curious/be full of curiosity ③ 开心的：delighted/overjoyed/content ④ 担忧的：concerned/worried/butterflies in one’s stomach 【点睛】[高分句型1] Having prepared for such a long time, I didn’t think of that coming up.（运用了现在分词作时间状语） [高分句型2] Emotions filled in my song, I performed as naturally as I spoke every day.（运用了独立主格结构） [高分句型3] I saw my mum, who was looking at me with reassurance and care.（运用了who引导的定语从句） 听力1 ~5 ACBBA 6~10 BCABC 11~15 BACBA 16~20 CACCA 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
