He had never sung in public before. Now he was singing for the very first time! Nobody had expected he could sing so beautifully! All the people present had a good time and the pianist was also very happy because he found that he could sing well. He may have lived the rest of his life as a no-name pianist in a no-name bar. Now he found, by accident, his ability to sing, so he went on working hard on singing. Later, the pianist became one of the best-known singers in the US. His name was Nat King Cole. You, too, have skills and abilities that you haven’t found. You may not feel that your talent is great, but it may be better than you think. With hard work, most skills can be improved. Besides, you may have no success at all if you do nothing about your talent. 第二部分 阅读理解（共两节， 满分 50 分） 第一节 （共 15 小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分 37.5 分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 A Favorite Books for Young Readers The Girl Who Loved Wild Horses by Paul Goble (For ages 5 to 8) Everywhere you look in The Girl Who Loved Wild Horses, there’s a tiny, precise and lovely detail—a plant, a bird, a lizard, a shell and of course the great horses. This story of a Plains Indian girl who runs away with a band of wild horses, and eventually becomes one of them, won the Caldecott in 1978. The recognition was well-deserved for its insightful portrayal (描写) of the bond between the human spirit and the wilderness. Hello Lighthouse by Sophie Blackall (For ages 4 to 8) Waves roll by, seasons come and go, keepers tend to their duties, and through it all, the lighthouse stands tall, sending its light out into the darkness, signaling hello to all the ships at sea. The Caldecott winner Sophie Blackall does a significant job showing the timeless nature of lighthouse life—and the change that’s coming. The Undefeated by Kwame Alexander and Kadir Nelson (For ages 6 to 9) One of the most—if not the most—beautiful books on this list. Kadir Nelson’s fancy, photorealistic paintings pair with Kwame Alexander’s powerful words for a tribute (致敬) to decades of Black brilliance, pain and perseverance. “This is one of those texts that really spoke to me; it was beautifully written and I felt it was a really great pairing of words and pictures of an author and an artist,” Nelson said. Harlem by Walter and Christopher (For ages 9 and up) This poem by Walter Dean Myers—a revered elder of children’s literature—celebrates Harlem, where he grew up, full of“ colors loud enough to be heard” and songs first heard in the villages of “Ghana/Mali/Senegal”. His son Christopher’s vivid illustrations, part paint and part collage (拼贴画), don’t talk down to kids, instead pulling them into a lively city. 21. What is the focus of the book The Girl Who Loved Wild Horses? A. The girl’s strong connection with nature. B. The girl’s artistic talent in drawing horses. C. The girl’s expertise in training wild animals. D. The girl’s close relationship with her family. 22. Whose book is recommended for 4-year-old kids? A. Paul Goble’s. B. Sophie Blackall’s. C. Kwa me Alexander and Kadir Nelson’s. D. Walter and Christopher’s. 23. What is special about Harlem? A. It’s a historical account of a famous battle. B. It’s a novel describing life in a quiet village. C. It’s a poem featuring the writer’s hometown. D. It’s a collection of songs from African countries. 【答案】21. A 22. B 23. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。主要介绍了四本适合年轻读者阅读的书籍。这些书籍不仅能够丰富孩子们的想象力，还能启发他们对世界的认知。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据The Girl Who Loved Wild Horses by Paul Goble部分“The recognition was well-deserved for its insightful portrayal (描写) of the bond between the human spirit and the wilderness.(这一认可是当之无愧的，因为它深刻地描写了人类精神与荒野之间的纽带)”可知，这本书展现了主人公和大自然之间的紧密联系。故选 A。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据Hello Lighthouse by Sophie Blackall部分“For ages 4 to 8 (适合4至8岁的儿童)”可知，适合4岁孩子阅读的书是Sophie Blackall所著的Hello Lighthouse。故选B。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据Harlem by Walter and Christopher部分“This poem by Walter Dean Myers—a revered elder of children’s literature—celebrates Harlem, where he grew up, (沃尔特·迪恩·迈尔斯（Walter Dean Myers）是一位受人尊敬的儿童文学前辈，他的这首诗歌颂了他成长的哈莱姆区)”可知，哈莱姆区是作者成长的地方，由此可知，Harlem是一首描写作者家乡的诗歌。故选C。 B Alice Howland leads a busy life. She’s a famous professor of psychology at Harvard University and also in great demand as a speaker at seminars and conferences. As the story begins, Alice has traveled to Stanford University to give a talk. She begins sharing information that she has shared a thousand times before; she needs no notes. Then suddenly, a word escapes from her. The pause seems to last forever while she struggles to find the word. Finally, she clumsily uses the word “stuff” and continues, thinking the slip is due to the jet lag as she finishes her talk. Back home, Alice decides to go for a run. She follows a familiar route, but out of the blue (出乎意外) it isn’t familiar. She knows she is in Harvard Square but has no idea which way is home. She begins to panic. Then as suddenly as her sense of direction left her, it’s back again. She rapidly walks the distance to her house. Alice continues to experience other small mistakes now and then. But it isn’t until they become more and more frequent that she has a series of tests confirming that she has early-onset Alzheimer’s disease (阿尔兹海默症). As Alice’s condition worsens, she loses the ability to enjoy books and movies because she can no longer follow the plots. She doesn’t know how to spend her days. The once famous expert in linguistics (语言学), who was used to a busy schedule, suddenly has nothing really to do. She depends on her husband, John, and their three grown children, but she loses touch with everyone else. Although life was disappearing for Alice, it was moving on for her family. Anna, one of her daughters, has twins. Alice’s husband, a successful scientist in his own field, decides to accept a position in New York City and move there leaving Alice with their children. Not long before he leaves, John takes Alice to their beach house for one last vacation. While there, Alice has a clear moment and tells John that she remembers him and that she was smart once. John assures her that she is the smartest person he has ever known, and Alice replies that she misses herself. With John gone, a nurse comes to take care of Alice, who no longer recognizes her own children. Her daughters help care for her every day. 24. What does Alice think causes her mistake when giving a talk at Stanford University? A The long plane trip. B. Her clumsiness. C. Her forgetting the notes. D. The busy schedule. 25. What does Alice feel when she first gets lost in her neighborhood? A. Embarrassed. B. Frightened. C. Thrilled. D. Annoyed. 26. How does Alice realize she may be ill? A.

She can’t remember herself. B. She blames her husband. C. She is quite lonely every day. D. She feels sorry for herself. 【答案】24. A 25. B 26. D 27. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了哈佛大学著名心理学教授爱丽丝从发现阿尔兹海默症到确诊，再到病情恶化的过程，以及家庭成员对此的反应和对她的支持。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Finally, she clumsily uses the word “stuff” and continues, thinking the slip is due to the jet lag as she finishes her talk.(最后，她笨拙地使用了“stuff”这个词，继续讲下去，认为这次口误是由于时差造成的)”可知，爱丽丝认为她在斯坦福大学演讲时出现的失误是由长途飞行引起的时差效应。故选A项。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“She knows she is in Harvard Square but has no idea which way is home. She begins to panic.(她知道自己在哈佛广场，但不知道回家的路在哪。她开始惊慌失措)”可知，当爱丽丝第一次在她熟悉的社区里迷路时，她感到害怕。故选B项。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Back home, Alice decides to go for a run. She follows a familiar route, but out of the blue( 出乎意外 ) it isn’t familiar. She knows she is in Harvard Square but has no idea which way is home. She begins to panic. Then as suddenly as her sense of direction left her, it’s back again. She rapidly walks the distance to her house.(回到家中，爱丽丝决定去跑步。她沿着熟悉的路线前进，但突然之间，这条路变得陌生起来。她知道自己身处哈佛广场，但却不知道回家的方向。她开始恐慌。然后，正如她的方向感突然消失一样，它又突然回来了。她迅速步行回到了家)”及第四段“Alice continues to experience other small mistakes now and then. But it isn’t until they become more and more frequent that she has a series of tests confirming that she has early-onset Alzheimer’s disease.(爱丽丝时不时会犯一些小错误。但直到这些错误变得越来越频繁时，她才进行了一系列检查，证实她患有早发性阿尔茨海默病)”可知，爱丽丝意识到她可能生病是因为她不断忘记熟悉的事情。故选D项。 27题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“While there, Alice has a clear moment and tells John that she remembers him and that she was smart once. John assures her that she is the smartest person he has ever known, and Alice replies that she misses herself.(在那里，爱丽丝有一刻头脑清晰，告诉约翰她记得他，记得自己曾经很聪明。约翰向她保证，她是他所认识的最聪明的人，而爱丽丝则回应说她想念过去的自己)”可推知，爱丽丝说“她想念自己”是因为她对自己现在的状况感到遗憾，她怀念过去聪明、有能力的自己。故选D项。 C Hannah Ray J was introduced to river surfing after noticing a surfer in the middle of a river in Iowa by chance. This arouse a passion that has since defined her life. River surfing, once a excited activity, is now gaining public attention in the Midwest as an exciting outdoor sport. New Whitewater parks and surfing areas are being developed across the region, such as in Nebraska and Iowa, with plans to attract thousands of visitors, boosting local economies. Badfish SUP, a Colorado-based company, reports a significant rise in river surfboard sales since the pandemic (疫情) began. They’ve even named a board “Wave Farmer” in honor of those living near these new recreation spots. The constant waves in rivers, unlike the ocean, allow surfers to practice constantly. Technological advancements have helped transform river surfing from a rare to a mainstream activity. The growing interest is evident in the number of cars at the WOKA Whitewater park in Oklahoma, exceeding expectations. WOKA offers rent gear (齿轮) and live webcams (摄像头) to check wave conditions. The community support for such activities is also noticeable, with businesses related to Whitewater activities expanding into the area. Other cities are looking to reproduce these successes with plans for Whitewater parks on their rivers. However, challenges remain, including water quality issues, variable river flows, and safety risks associated with fast-moving water. Despite these barriers, river surfing looks set to continue its rise in popularity, offering both thrills and economic opportunities for many communities. 28.

B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。章通过讲述Hannah Ray J的个人经历引出主题，随后描述了河中冲浪如何从一项罕见的活动转变为吸引大众参与的主流运动。 【28题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段中“Hannah Ray J was introduced to river surfing after noticing a surfer in the middle of a river in Iowa by chance. This arouse a passion that has since defined her life. River surfing, once a excited activity, is now gaining public attention in the Midwest as an exciting outdoor sport.(Hannah Ray J在爱荷华州的一条河中间偶然注意到一名冲浪者后，被介绍给河流冲浪。这激起了她一生的热情。河上冲浪曾经是一项令人兴奋的活动，现在在中西部地区作为一项令人兴奋的户外运动而受到公众的关注。)”可推知，第一段主要讲述的是Hannah Ray J对冲浪的兴趣来源，故选C项。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“They’ve even named a board “Wave Farmer” in honor of those living near these new recreation spots. (他们甚至将一块板子命名为“Wave Farmer”，以纪念居住在这些新休闲场所附近的人们。)”可知，将一块板子命名为“Wave Farmer”是向住在这些新冲浪区附近的当地人致敬。故选A项。 【30题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第三段中“Technological advancements have helped transform river surfing from a rare to a mainstream activity. (技术进步有助于将河上冲浪从稀有活动转变为……活动。)”可推知，此处指由于技术进步，河上冲浪已经变得更加普遍和广泛接受。mainstream意为“主流的”，故选B项。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“The community support for such activities is also noticeable, with businesses related to Whitewater activities expanding into the area. Other cities are looking to reproduce these successes with plans for Whitewater parks on their rivers.(社区对此类活动的支持也很明显，与白水活动相关的企业扩展到该地区。其他城市正在寻求复制这些成功，并计划在河流上建立白水公园。)”及最后一段“However, challenges remain, including water quality issues, variable river flows, and safety risks associated with fast-moving water. Despite these barriers, river surfing looks set to continue its rise in popularity, offering both thrills and economic opportunities for many communities. (然而，挑战依然存在，包括水质问题、河流流量变化以及与快速流动的水相关的安全风险。尽管存在这些障碍，但河上冲浪似乎将继续受欢迎，为许多社区提供刺激和经济机会。)”可推知，尽管存在这些障碍，但河上冲浪也将继续受欢迎，如果能解决障碍，它的受欢迎程度会上升，故选B项。 D The summer reading season is here. Some people will opt for paperbacks because they’re easy to borrow and share. Others will go for e-readers. But which is the more environmentally sustainable option? According to 2023 data from the literary industry research group Words Rated, when it comes to pulp (纸浆) and paper, print book publishing is the world’s third-largest industrial greenhouse gas producer, and 32 million trees are cut down each year in the United States to make paper for books. So many publishers are switching to on-demand printing. For example, Chronicle Books, are reducing their initial print runs to see how well the titles sell before they print more. “We felt that it was better to have a higher cost and have less waste,” said Chronic le Books president, Tyrrell Mahoney. Publishers are also rethinking book design. It might be a surprise, but certain fonts (字体) can be more climate-friendly by using less ink and less paper. Digital reading seems to have a considerable eco-advantage over print because it is paperless, so it saves trees, pulping and shipping. Moreover, tech companies that make e-readers such as Amazon, which sells the market-leading Kindle e-reader, offer recycling programs for old devices. “By choosing e-books as an alternative to print, Kindle readers helped save an estimated 2.3 million metric tons of carbon emissions over a two-year period,” said Corey Badcock, head of Kindle product and marketing. But digital devices also come with a substantial carbon footprint, mainly at the producing stage. Their cases are made with fossil-fuel-derived plastics and the minerals in their batteries require resource-heavy mining. Berners-Lee, the author of The Carbon Footprint of Everything , said the average e-reader has a carbon footprint of around 80 pounds. “This means that I’ve got to read about 36 small paperback books-worth on it before you break even,” he said. “If you buy an e-reader and you read loads and loads of books on it, then it’s the lowest carbon thing to do,” Berners-Lee said. “But if I buy it, read a couple of books, and decide that I prefer paperback books, then it’s the worst of all worlds.” 32. Why are publishers switching to on-demand printing? A. To further reduce costs. B. To increase market sales. C. To make books more durable. D. To be more environmentally friendly. 33. What is the author’s attitude towards digital devices’ carbon footprint? A. Optimistic. B. Dismissive. C. Objective. D. Defensive. 34. What can we say about the carbon footprint of reading according to Berners-Lee? A. Heavy e-readers will have a lower carbon footprint. B. Paperback readers contribute less to carbon emissions. C. The carbon footprint of reading is unworthy of attention. D. There’s no way to measure the carbon footprint of e-readers. 35. What is the best title for the text? A. An Eco-Debate: Is My E-Reader Really Greener? B. The Decline of Paper: A Look at Modern Publishing C. The Future of Reading: E-ink Technology Advances D. What’s Better for the Climate: A Paper Book or an E-Reader? 【答案】32. D 33. C 34. A 35. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章主要谈论了纸质书和电子阅读器，哪个更环保。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“According to 2023 data from the literary industry research group Words Rated, when it comes to pulp (纸浆) and paper, print book publishing is the world’s third-largest industrial greenhouse gas producer, and 32 million trees are cut down each year in the United States to make paper for books. (根据文学产业研究机构Words Rated 2023年的数据，在纸浆和纸张方面，印刷图书出版业是世界第三大工业温室气体排放国，美国每年有3200万棵树被砍伐，用于制造书籍的纸张。)”和第三段中“So many publishers are switching to on-demand printing.( 因此，许多出版商正在转向按需印刷。)”可知，出版商转向按需印刷是因为这样更环保。故选D项。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第六段中“By choosing e-books as an alternative to print, Kindle readers helped save an estimated2.3 million metric tons of carbon emissions over a two-year period (通过选择电子书代替纸质书，Kindle阅读器在两年的时间里减少了230万吨的碳排放。)”和第七段“But digital devices also come with a substantial carbon footprint, mainly at the producing stage.(但数字设备也会产生大量的碳足迹，主要是在生产阶段。)”可知，作者客观陈述了数字设备的碳足迹。故选C项。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“If you buy an e-reader and you read loads and loads of books on it, then it’s the lowest carbon thing to do.(如果你买了一个电子阅读器，然后在上面读了很多很多的书，那么这是碳排放最低的事情。)”可知，Berners-Lee认为容量大的电子阅读器的碳足迹较低。故选A项。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。通读前文，根据第一段中“Some people will opt for paperbacks because they’re easy to borrow and share. Others will go for e-readers. But which is the more environmentally sustainable option? (有些人会选择平装书，因为它们很容易借阅和分享。其他人则会选择电子阅读器。但哪一个是更环保的可持续选择呢？)”可知，本文主要谈论了纸质书和电子阅读器，哪个更环保。D“哪个对气候更好：纸质书还是电子阅读器？”符合主题，故选D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。 The Importance of Learning a Second Language In today’s globalized world, learning a second language has become an essential skill.

The supermarket was crowded with shoppers grabbing their weekly groceries. I was no exception, purchasing fresh produce and a few comfort food items, and then I reached the checkout line. As the cashier scanned my items and I reached for my wallet, my heart sank. It was missing. No cash, no cards, just an empty pocket and a growing sense of panic. “I’m so sorry,” I stammered (结结巴巴地说), my face burning red as I began to gather my groceries, ready to make my embarrassed retreat. But a calm voice from behind interrupted my retreat. “No worries at all,” a stranger said in a comforting tone. “I’ll cover this.”‘ I turned to see a woman with kind eyes and a warm smile, holding out her card to the cashier. She had a cart full of her own groceries, yet here she was, offering to pay for a stranger’s mistake. “Are you sure?” I asked, my voice filled with a mix of gratitude and disbelief. “Absolutely,” she replied. “But I’ll need something from you in return.” “Anything, ”I said, ready to do whatever it took to repay her kindness. “Promise me you’ll pay it forward,” she said, her gaze (目光) meeting mine with a sincerity that touched my heart. I nodded, my promise as firm as the resolve to make a difference. “I promise.” As I left the store with my groceries, I couldn’t shake the feeling that I had just been given a gift—a chance to make a difference in someone else’s life. Months later, I found myself driving through a quiet countryside, the scenery passing by peacefully. Up ahead, I noticed a lone figure by the roadside, a backpacker with her thumb out, trying to ask for a ride. Car after car sped past, leaving her in their dust. Something about her lone figure touched my heart. 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 slowed down and pulled over. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As we parted, I handed her some cash and said, “For your bus ticket home.” _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 I slowed down and pulled over. “Need a lift?” I asked, rolling down the window. Her face lit up with relief and gratitude. “Yes, please,” she said, climbing into my car. We chatted as we drove. She told me that she had waited there for hours. She was about to give up when I stopped. And she told me her stories of adventure and excitement. When she mentioned she was short on funds and needed to get home, I knew what I had to do. As we parted, I handed her some cash and said, “For your bus ticket home.” “I can’t take this,” she refused, her eyes wide with surprise. “You can,” I insisted. “And one day, when you can, pay it forward.” Then we parted. As I continued my drive, I was filled with a renewed sense of purpose and a heart full of hope. I know I choose to pay it forward, not for recognition or reward, but because I believe in the power of kindness to change lives, one small act at a time. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者在超市购物时丢失了钱包，得到了一位陌生女士的帮助，作者向女士承诺会将这份善意传递下去。几个月后，作者在开车的路上，注意到路边有一个试图搭车的人，她孤独的身影触动了作者的心。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我放慢车速，把车停在路边。”可知，第一段可描写作者让对方搭车，对方表达感激并解释自己需要搭车的原因。 ②由第二段首句内容“当我们分开时，我递给她一些现金，说：“给你回家的公共汽车票。””可知，第二段可描写作者请对方将善意传递下去，作者继续前行，充满目标感和希望。 2.续写线索：让对方搭车——对方表达感激——对方解释需要搭车的原因——作者赠送现金给对方——请求对方传递善意——作者的感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①知道：know/be aware of ②拒绝：refuse/reject ③选择：choose/select 情绪类 ①感激：gratitude/thankfulness ②惊讶地：with surprise/surprisedly 【点睛】【高分句型1】We chatted as we drove.(运用了as引导的时间状语从句) 【高分句型2】When she mentioned she was short on funds and needed to get home, I knew what I had to do.(运用了when引导的时间状语从句，省略that引导的宾语从句，what引导的宾语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$null 高二期末考试英语试卷 考生注意: 1.本试卷分第I卷(选择题)和第II卷(非选择题)两部分，共 l50 分。考试时间 120 分钟。 2.请将各题答案填涂在答题卡上。 第I卷 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 5 段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的 A、B、C 三个选项中选出最佳选项， 并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后，你都有 10 秒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. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 How many languages can the woman speak up to now?

This story of a Plains Indian girl who runs away with a band of wild horses, and eventually becomes one of them, won the Caldecott in 1978. The recognition was well-deserved for its insightful portrayal (描写) of the bond between the human spirit and the wilderness. Hello Lighthouse by Sophie Blackall (For ages 4 to 8) Waves roll by, seasons come and go, keepers tend to their duties, and through it all, the lighthouse stands tall, sending its light out into the darkness, signaling hello to all the ships at sea. The Caldecott winner Sophie Blackall does a significant job showing the timeless nature of lighthouse life—and the change that’s coming. The Undefeated by Kwame Alexander and Kadir Nelson (For ages 6 to 9) One of the most—if not the most—beautiful books on this list. Kadir Nelson’s fancy, photorealistic paintings pair with Kwame Alexander’s powerful words for a tribute (致敬) to decades of Black brilliance, pain and perseverance. “This is one of those texts that really spoke to me; it was beautifully written and I felt it was a really great pairing of words and pictures of an author and an artist,” Nelson said. Harlem by Walter and Christopher (For ages 9 and up) This poem by Walter Dean Myers—a revered elder of children’s literature—celebrates Harlem, where he grew up, full of“ colors loud enough to be heard” and songs first heard in the villages of “Ghana/Mali/Senegal”. His son Christopher’s vivid illustrations, part paint and part collage (拼贴画), don’t talk down to kids, instead pulling them into a lively city. 21. What is the focus of the book The Girl Who Loved Wild Horses? A. The girl’s strong connection with nature. B The girl’s artistic talent in drawing horses. C. The girl’s expertise in training wild animals. D. The girl’s close relationship with her family. 22. Whose book is recommended for 4-year-old kids? A. Paul Goble’s. B. Sophie Blackall’s. C. Kwa me Alexander and Kadir Nelson’s. D. Walter and Christopher’s. 23. What is special about Harlem? A. It’s a historical account of a famous battle. B.

C Hannah Ray J was introduced to river surfing after noticing a surfer in the middle of a river in Iowa by chance. This arouse a passion that has since defined her life. River surfing, once a excited activity, is now gaining public attention in the Midwest as an exciting outdoor sport. New Whitewater parks and surfing areas are being developed across the region, such as in Nebraska and Iowa, with plans to attract thousands of visitors, boosting local economies. Badfish SUP, a Colorado-based company, reports a significant rise in river surfboard sales since the pandemic (疫情) began. They’ve even named a board “Wave Farmer” in honor of those living near these new recreation spots. The constant waves in rivers, unlike the ocean, allow surfers to practice constantly. Technological advancements have helped transform river surfing from a rare to a mainstream activity. The growing interest is evident in the number of cars at the WOKA Whitewater park in Oklahoma, exceeding expectations. WOKA offers rent gear (齿轮) and live webcams (摄像头) to check wave conditions. The community support for such activities is also noticeable, with businesses related to Whitewater activities expanding into the area. Other cities are looking to reproduce these successes with plans for Whitewater parks on their rivers. However, challenges remain, including water quality issues, variable river flows, and safety risks associated with fast-moving water. Despite these barriers, river surfing looks set to continue its rise in popularity, offering both thrills and economic opportunities for many communities. 28.

Others will go for e-readers. But which is the more environmentally sustainable option? According to 2023 data from the literary industry research group Words Rated, when it comes to pulp (纸浆) and paper, print book publishing is the world’s third-largest industrial greenhouse gas producer, and 32 million trees are cut down each year in the United States to make paper for books. So many publishers are switching to on-demand printing. For example, Chronicle Books, are reducing their initial print runs to see how well the titles sell before they print more. “We felt that it was better to have a higher cost and have less waste,” said Chronic le Books president, Tyrrell Mahoney. Publishers are also rethinking book design. It might be a surprise, but certain fonts (字体) can be more climate-friendly by using less ink and less paper. Digital reading seems to have a considerable eco-advantage over print because it is paperless, so it saves trees, pulping and shipping. Moreover, tech companies that make e-readers such as Amazon, which sells the market-leading Kindle e-reader, offer recycling programs for old devices. “By choosing e-books as an alternative to print, Kindle readers helped save an estimated 2.3 million metric tons of carbon emissions over a two-year period,” said Corey Badcock, head of Kindle product and marketing. But digital devices also come with a substantial carbon footprint, mainly at the producing stage. Their cases are made with fossil-fuel-derived plastics and the minerals in their batteries require resource-heavy mining. Berners-Lee, the author of The Carbon Footprint of Everything , said the average e-reader has a carbon footprint of around 80 pounds. “This means that I’ve got to read about 36 small paperback books-worth on it before you break even,” he said. “If you buy an e-reader and you read loads and loads of books on it, then it’s the lowest carbon thing to do,” Berners-Lee said. “But if I buy it, read a couple of books, and decide that I prefer paperback books, then it’s the worst of all worlds.” 32. Why are publishers switching to on-demand printing? A. To further reduce costs. B. To increase market sales. C. To make books more durable. D. To be more environmentally friendly. 33. What is the author’s attitude towards digital devices’ carbon footprint? A. Optimistic. B. Dismissive. C. Objective. D. Defensive. 34. What can we say about the carbon footprint of reading according to Berners-Lee? A. Heavy e-readers will have a lower carbon footprint. B. Paperback readers contribute less to carbon emissions. C. The carbon footprint of reading is unworthy of attention. D. There’s no way to measure the carbon footprint of e-readers. 35. What is the best title for the text? A. An Eco-Debate: Is My E-Reader Really Greener? B. The Decline of Paper: A Look at Modern Publishing C. The Future of Reading: E-ink Technology Advances D. What’s Better for the Climate: A Paper Book or an E-Reader? 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。 The Importance of Learning a Second Language In today’s globalized world, learning a second language has become an essential skill.

I was no exception, purchasing fresh produce and a few comfort food items, and then I reached the checkout line. As the cashier scanned my items and I reached for my wallet, my heart sank. It was missing. No cash, no cards, just an empty pocket and a growing sense of panic. “I’m so sorry,” I stammered (结结巴巴地说), my face burning red as I began to gather my groceries, ready to make my embarrassed retreat. But a calm voice from behind interrupted my retreat. “No worries at all,” a stranger said in a comforting tone. “I’ll cover this.”‘ I turned to see a woman with kind eyes and a warm smile, holding out her card to the cashier. She had a cart full of her own groceries, yet here she was, offering to pay for a stranger’s mistake. “Are you sure?” I asked, my voice filled with a mix of gratitude and disbelief. “Absolutely,” she replied. “But I’ll need something from you in return.” “Anything, ”I said, ready to do whatever it took to repay her kindness. “Promise me you’ll pay it forward,” she said, her gaze (目光) meeting mine with a sincerity that touched my heart. I nodded my promise as firm as the resolve to make a difference. “I promise.” As I left the store with my groceries, I couldn’t shake the feeling that I had just been given a gift—a chance to make a difference in someone else’s life. Months later, I found myself driving through a quiet countryside, the scenery passing by peacefully. Up ahead, I noticed a lone figure by the roadside, a backpacker with her thumb out, trying to ask for a ride. Car after car sped past, leaving her in their dust. Something about her lone figure touched my heart. 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 slowed down and pulled over. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As we parted, I handed her some cash and said, “For your bus ticket home.” _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
