How to predict an earthquake. B. How to survive an earthquake. C. How to rescue people in an earthquake. 18. What do people need to get ready for an earthquake? A. Shelters. B. Cars. C. Blankets. 19. What does the speaker advise people to do when an earthquake hits? A. Drop to the ground. B. Stay by the window. C. Run towards the door. 20. What does the speaker warn people of at the end of the talk? A. Trapped lifts. B. Falling pieces. C. Damaged bridges. 【答案】17. B 18. C 19. A 20. C 【解析】 【详解】Earthquakes are among the most harmful natural disasters. Earthquakes cannot be predicted, but your chances of survival are much better if you prepare in advance and you know what to do when an earthquake strikes. Firstly, you need to get something ready. In the event of an emergency, many services like electricity and water may become unavailable. To ensure your survival, besides food and water, you will need the following emergency supplies: flashlights, blankets, money and so on. Secondly you should know what to do. When an earthquake happens, drop to the ground, find cover and hide on. If you’re indoors, stay there and find shelter under a strong table. You should also stay clear of windows and outer walls. Don’t use lifts as there’s a risk you’ll become trapped. If you’re in a crowded area, don’t rush towards the doors as there’s a risk of injury. If you’re outside, be aware of falling pieces and stay clear of buildings, overhead structures, walls, power lines and trees. If you’re in a car, stop in an open area until the shaking stops. Check your ABC Radio station, or the ABC Emergency Twitter pages for warnings before moving. Be aware of damaged roads and bridges. 第二部分 阅读理解(共两节，满分40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和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 A Big Thinkers Series The 2022 Big Thinkers Series from New Scientist events features four online talks, covering a wide range of topics by world-class scientist speakers and experts.

Chad Orzel, the internationally bestselling author of How to Teach Quantum Physics to Your Dog, offers us a witty journey through scientific theory and quirky (反常的) historical detail.(从巨石阵到原子钟，这是5000年来科学如何用来标记时间的历史。Chad Orzel是国际畅销书《如何教你的狗量子物理》的作者，他通过科学理论和离奇的历史细节为我们提供了一段诙谐的旅程)”可知，Chad Orzel的讲座是关于时间标记的历史。故选C。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段的“If you are curious about your planet or your universe, then this series is your place to hear the latest research.(如果你对你的星球或宇宙感到好奇，那么这个系列是你听到最新研究的地方)”可知，这四个讲座的共同之处是它们都是针对科学爱好者。故选A。 B On an extremely cold December night, fire trucks arrived in the sleepy little town of Manton, Michigan and shot to Chittle’s home. Was it because of a fire or a child climbing too high to a dangerous place? Rather, it was for helping make a dream come true. Outdoor activities and a slow pace of life are a mainstay in this rural town. When people were unable to leave the community, Scott Chittle decided they needed a safe place to come together and something joyful during the winter months. And what is a better outdoor activity to get people outside than ice skating? To fulfil his dream, Chittle downloaded instructions on how to build an ice rink and then ordered a 3,000 square foot waterproof cloth and some wood to create walls online. It took 12 fire trucks to get enough water to fill the plot. It took a little time and some neighborly persuasion as Chittle went door to door to convince people to come to see his creation, and soon Chittle’s backyard ice rink became a Manton hot spot. Children were skating and shooting, a fire was burning, and hot chocolate was steaming in to-go cups. “When things were tough, it was a place,” says Chittle’s neighbor Audrey Hooker. “It was fantastic because we just came together and became calm and happy instead of concerned.” But the goodwill didn’t stop with Chittle. When the community heard how much money he used to make this project happen, everyone stepped forward. A fundraiser brought in about $1,300, and letters flooded to Chittle’s home stuffed with cash. “Almost 30 complete strangers knocked on my door to just shake my hand and say thank you, most of them handing me money as well and three asking for a hug,” says Chittle. “This has been a community thing. It’s more than me. I want to show the rest of the world what a little effort and the best intentions can do.” 24. Why did fire trucks come to Manton? A. To deal with an emergency. B. To send water to the community. C. To ensure people’s safety in the town. D. To help with Chittle building the ice rink. 25. What did Chittle do to carry out his project? A. Persuade his neighbors to make donations. B. Purchase a piece of land behind his house. C. Turn to the Internet for tips and materials. D. Research the popular lifestyles in Manton. 26. How did the ice rink affect the community? A. It made the community popular in Mantan. B. It slowed down the pace of the residents’ life. C. It offered people there comfort and company. D. It inspired the residents to do outdoor activities. 27. What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph mean? A. Everyone could make a difference to society. B. Chittle received acts of kindness from others. C. The community got better due to the ice rink. D. Chittle had goodwill to the whole community. 【答案】24. D 25. C 26. C 27. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了由于活动限制，Scot Chittle在社区建造了溜冰场，以供社区居民进行户外活动。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“On an extremely cold December night, fire trucks arrived in the sleepy little town of Manton, Michigan and shot to Chittle’s home.(在12月的一个寒冷的晚上，消防车到达了密歇根州沉睡的曼顿小镇，冲向了Chittle的家)”、第二段“And what is a better outdoor activity to get people outside than ice skating?(还有什么比滑冰更能让人们出门的户外活动呢)”和第三段“It took 12 fire trucks to get enough water to fill the plot.(12辆消防车才运来足够的水)”可知，在12月的一个晚上，消防车赶往Manton，是为了帮助Chittle修建溜冰场。故选D。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“To fulfil his dream, Chittle downloaded instructions on how to build an ice rink and then ordered a 3,000 square foot waterproof cloth and some wood to create walls online.(为了实现他的梦想，Chittle下载了如何建造溜冰场的说明，然后在网上订购了3000平方英尺的防水布和一些木头来建造墙壁)”可知，为了实现建溜冰场这一梦想，Chittle在网上下载了建造教程并购买了所需材料。故选C。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段““When things were tough, it was a place,” says Chittle’s neighbor Audrey Hooker. “It was fantastic because we just came together and became calm and happy instead of concerned.”(Chittle的邻居Audrey Hooker说道：“当情况艰难时，是这个地方，它太棒了，因为我们聚在一起，变得平静和快乐，而不是担心。”)”可知，在形势艰难的时候，Chittle建的溜冰场成了一个让人们可以聚在一起，感到平静和快乐，而不是担心的地方。由此可推断，Chittle建的溜冰场带给社区居民慰藉和陪伴。故选C。 【27题详解】 词句猜测题。结合上文提到的Chittle为社区建溜冰场和划线句的后文内容“When the community heard how much money he used to make this project happen, everyone stepped forward. A fundraiser brought in about $1,300, and letters flooded to Chittle’s home stuffed with cash.(当社区听说他花了多少钱来实现这个项目时，每个人都挺身而出。一场筹款活动带来了大约1300美元的收入，人们给Chittle家里寄去了装满现金的信件)”可知，划线部分表示善意并没有在Chittle这里终止，同时Chittle也收到其他人的善意。故选B。 C Have you ever seen your cat or dog eating grass? They do so because it can help their digestion, and many wild species use natural substances to prevent and control diseases. This is called “zoo pharmacognosy” or, more commonly, animal self-medication. Scientists have discovered that tamarin monkeys use a specific tree resin (树脂) as medicine. In the Brazilian Atlantic Forest, scientists followed several groups of them to collect data. During one of these daily studies, tamarin monkeys were observed rubbing their bodies on the trunk of a tree. At first, researchers thought that they were marking their territory, a common behaviour in this species. Botanical experts later confirmed that the tree was a species of cabreuva, which is well known for its medical properties. Researchers decided to place camera-traps in different sites at the foot of the tree to record future visits by tamarin monkeys. The records surprisingly showed that many animals living in the forest visited it. Totally, ten species were observed. For many of them, it was the first time that behaviors similar to self-medication had been observed. More surprisingly, one species spread resin on each other’s fur in pairs. In general, the species seemed to specifically visit the tree to acquire the resin and seemingly benefit from it, either healing their wounds or fighting back parasites (寄生虫). While further studies are needed to identify the properties of the resin and thus confirm that this is indeed self-medication, the use of it suggests that cabreuva represents a common and universal drugstore for the residents of the Brazilian Atlantic Forest. It is likely to be a valuable resource helping the species maintain their magnitude by improving their health. This discovery could have an important protection influence, as the disappearance of some trees could potentially affect the survival of some animals. 28. Why do tamarin monkeys rub themselves against the tree? A. They are trying to cure diseases. B. They would like to digest what they eat. C. They are attracting companions’ attention. D. They regards the tree as part of their territory. 29. What do researchers find through camera- traps? A. Many animals copy monkeys’ behaviors. B. Animals can help each other clean the fur. C. The cabreduva is the habitat of tamarin monkeys. D. Resin may possibly used as medicine by some species. 30. What does the author think about animals using the resin as medicine? A. It helps the species bond more firmly. B. It’s an strange but impressive animal behavior. C. It benefits both the individuals and the whole species group. D. They need much practice before mastering this survival skill. 31. What is the possible significance of the discovery according to the passage? A. Promoting evolution of creatures. B. Contributing to forest conservation. C. Developing new medicine from resin D. Motivating the study of monkeys’ health 【答案】28. A 29. D 30. C 31. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要阐述了研究人员发现动物会使用一种特殊的树树脂作为药物来疗伤。文章解释了研究开展的经过以及发现。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“During one of these daily studies, tamarin monkeys were observed rubbing their bodies on the trunk of a tree. At first, researchers thought that they were marking their territory, a common behaviour in this species. Botanical experts later confirmed that the tree was a species of cabreuva, which is well known for its medical properties. (在其中一项日常研究中，研究人员观察到绢毛猴在树干上摩擦身体。起初，研究人员认为它们是在标记自己的领地，这是这种物种的常见行为。植物学专家后来证实，这棵树是一种以其药用特性而闻名的红檀香。)”可知，绢毛猴要在树上摩擦自己是为了努力治疗疾病。故选A项。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Researchers decided to place camera-traps in different sites at the foot of the tree to record future visits by tamarin monkeys. The records surprisingly showed that many animals living in the forest visited it. Totally, ten species were observed. For many of them, it was the first time that behaviors similar to self-medication had been observed. More surprisingly, one species spread resin on each other’s fur in pairs. In general, the species seemed to specifically visit the tree to acquire the resin and seemingly benefit from it, either healing their wounds or fighting back parasites (寄生虫). (研究人员决定在树脚的不同位置放置相机陷阱，以记录未来绢毛猴的访问。令人惊讶的是，记录显示许多生活在森林里的动物来过这里。共观察到10种。对他们中的许多人来说，这是第一次观察到类似于自我药物治疗的行为。更令人惊讶的是，一个物种会成对地在对方的皮毛上涂抹树脂。一般来说，这些物种似乎专门访问树来获取树脂，并从中受益，要么治愈伤口，要么击退寄生虫。)”可知，研究人员通过相机陷阱发现树脂可以用作一些动物的药。故选D项。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“In general, the species seemed to specifically visit the tree to acquire the resin and seemingly benefit from it, either healing their wounds or fighting back parasites. (一般来说，这些物种似乎专门来树上获取树脂，并从中受益，要么治愈伤口，要么击退寄生虫。)”根据第四段“It is likely to be a valuable resource helping the species maintain their magnitude by improving their health. (这很可能是一种宝贵的资源，通过改善它们的健康状况来帮助物种保持它们的规模。)”可知，作者认为使用树脂作为药物对个体和整个物种群体都有好处。故选C 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“This discovery could have an important protection influence, as the disappearance of some trees could potentially affect the survival of some animals. (这一发现可能会对保护产生重要影响，因为一些树木的消失可能会影响一些动物的生存。)”可知，这一发现的可能意义是有助于森林保护。故选B项。 D There are all electric cars, boats, trains, and small planes that are a sustainable way to travel. Larger airplanes have not been able to make the transition because the lithium-ion (锂离子的) batteries are too heavy and not strong enough to provide the power for the airplane to take-off. NASA is working on a new innovative solid-state battery that can be used by the aviation (航空) industry. The batteries, called Solid-state Architecture Batteries for Enhanced Recharge ability and Safety (SABERS) do not suffer from any of the limitations of lithium-ion batteries and can outperform the batteries that are available now. The solid-state batteries that NASA researchers are working on carry more energy, and are considerably lighter, and much safer to use. That’s because solid-state batteries do not contain liquids which can lead to overheating, fires, and charge loss. Battery performance is the key to making aviation sustainable and practical. The batteries must be able to store large amounts of energy without being too heavy. And the battery must be able to rapidly release that energy. That’s where solid-state technology comes in. Liquid batteries require each cell to be inside its own steel casing. Solid-state batteries can be stacked in a single casing and that reduces the weight. The battery can also run at much higher temperatures that require much less cooling. All of this makes NASA’s new battery very promising. Now that NASA has demonstrated the new battery’s properties, the agency is looking at all its potential uses. SABERS is cooperating with researchers from Georgia Tech. “Georgia Tech has a big focus on micro mechanics of how the cell changes during operation. That helped us look at the pressures inside the battery, which then helped us improve the battery even more,” Viggiano said in the news release. “It also led us to understand from a practical standpoint how to make a cell like this.” He added that SABERS has grown from an idea discussed around a lunch table to a possible solution for sustainable aeronautics (航空学). A fully electric airplane is more likely to appear on the market. 32. Which of the following statement is true according to the first two paragraphs? A. Larger airplanes have been using lithium- ion batteries widely. B. The solid- state battery developed by NASA has been on the market. C. SABERS do much better than the lithium- ion batteries available now. D. It’s impossible to apply lithium- ion batteries to aviation for their limitations. 33. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. Advantageous features of the new battery. B. Current main tasks of NASA researchers. C. Potential problems of traditional batteries. D. Working principles of lithium-ion batteries. 34. What can be inferred from Rocco Viggiano’s words in the sixth paragraph? A. SABERS appears too optimistic about its future. B. The stability of SABERS has been proved perfect. C. Further research is being done to improve ASBERS. D. Georgia Tech is in charge of producing the cells for ASBERS. 35. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. NASA’s Electric Airplanes Are Ready to Take Off. B. Great Changes Are Taking Place in the Aviation Industry. C. A Promising Sustainable Future Has Already Taken Root. D. Solid- state Batteries May Help Larger Electric Airplanes Fly. 【答案】32. C 33. A 34. C 35. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要讲述了新型电池可以让电动飞机飞上天。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The batteries, called Solid-state Architecture Batteries for Enhanced Recharge ability and Safety (SABERS) do not suffer from any of the limitations of lithium-ion batteries and can outperform the batteries that are available now.”（这种电池被称为固态结构电池，用于增强充电能力和安全性(SABERS)，它不受锂离子电池的任何限制，性能优于现有的电池。）可知，SABERS电池没有锂离子电池的限制，并且性能优于目前的电池。故选C项。 【33题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“The solid-state batteries that NASA researchers are working on carry more energy, and are considerably lighter, and much safer to use. That’s because solid-state batteries do not contain liquids which can lead to overheating, fires, and charge loss.”（美国宇航局研究人员正在研究的固态电池携带更多的能量，而且相当轻，使用起来也更安全。这是因为固态电池不含会导致过热、火灾和电荷损失的液体。）可知，该段主要讲的是这种新型电池的优点。故选A项。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据第六段中““Georgia Tech has a big focus on micro mechanics of how the cell changes during operation. That helped us look at the pressures inside the battery, which then helped us improve the battery even more,” Viggiano said in the news release. “It also led us to understand from a practical standpoint how to make a cell like this.””（佐治亚理工学院非常关注电池在运行过程中如何变化的微观力学。这有助于我们观察电池内部的压力，从而帮助我们进一步改进电池，”维吉亚诺在新闻发布会上说。“这也让我们从实用的角度理解了如何制造这样的细胞。”。）可知，在研制SABERS的过程中，进一步的研究正在进行。故选C项。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“There are all electric cars, boats, trains, and small planes that are a sustainable way to travel. Larger airplanes have not been able to make the transition because the lithium-ion (锂离子的) batteries are too heavy and not strong enough to provide the power for the airplane to take-off.”（电动汽车、轮船、火车和小型飞机都是可持续的旅行方式。大型飞机无法实现这一转变，因为锂离子电池太重，不够强大，无法为飞机起飞提供动力。）以及第二段 “NASA is working on a new innovative solid-state battery that can be used by the aviation (航空) industry.”（美国国家航空航天局正在研究一种可用于航空工业的新型固态电池。）可知，文章主要介绍了美国国家航空航天局正在研制的一种可供航空使用的、新型固态电池。故短文的标题为“固态电池可能帮助更大的电动飞机飞行。”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。 Meat is an indispensable part of Chinese cuisine. But not everyone is fond of eating meat. ___36___ As early as the Tang Dynasty(618-907), compassionate people invented “mock meat” from tofu and vegetables, a tradition that has lasted until the present day. Now, people who want to cut down on cholesterol, reduce their carbon footprint or express sympathy for animals may have found some answers from plant-based meat. Plant-based meat is commonly used in many foods and the most popular case can be found in veggie burgers, whose “meat” part is often made from ingredients such as beans, nuts, grains and mushrooms. If you tried veggie burgers years ago and thought them as rubbery, flavourless, it’s a good time to give them another chance. ___37___ It is even more real and delicious than you can imagine. ___38___ Many meatless manufacturers don’t reveal their total emission, but research shows they do generate much fewer greenhouse gas emissions compared to their meat equivalence. One study found that making a Beyond Burger, a veggie burger, uses 99 percent less water, 93 percent less land, and nearly 50 percent less energy. More and more people are looking to limit their meat consumption. A lot of research supports the idea that a plant-based diet can boost your health, decrease the risk of heart disease, type II diabetes and certain cancers, and help you stay at a healthy weight. ___39___ Physical and economic benefits have drawn companies and manufacturers to devote themselves to the plant-based meat industry. But it is not so easy as we expect. ___40___ They are patiently planning to increase their employee count purchase manufacturing facilities, and expand their sales and distribution channels. Despite these challenges, the plant-based industry is continuing to grow rapidly and many in the industry are optimistic about the future. A. Doubts have been raised over food safety issues. B. Old habits die hard and it takes time to accept new things. C. Popularity goes with reducing negative environmental impacts. D. Plant-based meat industry will soon substitute the traditional one. E. It can even lengthen your life and be good for your mental health. F. Newer varieties mock the look, flavor, and texture of the real thing. G. People’s reasons for not eating meat are as varied as people themselves. 【答案】36. G 37. F 38. C 39. E 40. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了现在，那些想要降低胆固醇、减少碳足迹或对动物表示同情的人可以选择植物性肉类。 【36题详解】 根据空前“Meat is an indispensable part of Chinese cuisine. But not everyone is fond of eating meat.(肉是中国菜中不可缺少的一部分。但并不是每个人都喜欢吃肉。)”可知，不是每个人都喜欢吃肉。选项G“People’s reasons for not eating meat are as varied as people themselves.(人们不吃肉的理由多种多样。)”与上文内容一致，指的是人们总有各种各样的理由不吃肉。故选G。 【37题详解】 根据上文“If you tried veggie burgers years ago and thought them as rubbery, flavourless, it’s a good time to give them another chance.(如果你几年前吃过素食汉堡，觉得它们像橡胶一样无味，那么现在是时候再给它们一次机会了。)”可知，几年前的素食汉堡味道不行，但是现在已经不一样了。选项F“Newer varieties mock the look, flavor, and texture of the real thing.(较新的品种模仿真品的外观、味道和质地。)”延续上文内容指的是新的品种模仿真品的外观、味道和质地，大不一样。同时和下文“It is even more real and delicious than you can imagine.(它比你想象的更真实、更美味。)”一致。故选F。 【38题详解】 空处为段首句，为本段主要内容。根据下文“Many meatless manufacturers don’t reveal their total emission, but research shows they do generate much fewer greenhouse gas emissions compared to their meat equivalence. One study found that making a Beyond Burger, a veggie burger, uses 99 percent less water, 93 percent less land, and nearly 50 percent less energy.( 多无肉制造商没有透露他们的总排放量，但研究表明，与他们的肉类相比，他们产生的温室气体排放量要少得多。一项研究发现，制作一种素食汉堡，可以减少99%的水，93%的土地和近50%的能源。)”可知，本段主要讲述的是植物性肉类的碳排放要少很多，也就是对环境的负面影响小。选项C“Popularity goes with reducing negative environmental impacts.(受欢迎程度与减少对环境的负面影响有关。)”指的正是植物性肉类的受欢迎程度和对环境的负面影响有关。故选C。 【39题详解】 根据空前内容“More and more people are looking to limit their meat consumption. A lot of research supports the idea that a plant-based diet can boost your health, decrease the risk of heart disease, type II diabetes and certain cancers, and help you stay at a healthy weight.(越来越多的人开始限制肉类消费。很多研究都支持这样一种观点，即植物性饮食可以促进健康，降低患心脏病、二型糖尿病和某些癌症的风险，并帮助你保持健康的体重。)”可知，上文讲述的是植物性饮食对身体的好处。选项E“It can even lengthen your life and be good for your mental health.(它甚至可以延长你的寿命，对你的心理健康有好处。)”延续上文内容，指的是植物性饮食不仅对身体有好处，对心理健康也有好处。故选E。 【40题详解】 根据空前内容“Physical and economic benefits have drawn companies and manufacturers to devote themselves to the plant-based meat industry. But it is not so easy as we expect.(物质和经济效益吸引了公司和制造商投身于植物性肉类产业。但这并不像我们想象的那么容易。)”可知，植物性肉类产业的前景不像我们以为的那么容易。选项B“Old habits die hard and it takes time to accept new things(旧习惯难改，接受新事物需要时间。)”延续上文内容，讲述了具体面临的问题是人们接受新事物需要时间。故选B。 第三部分 语言知识运用(共两节，满分45分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 A couple, who began raising money for ___41___ 40 years ago after their daughter’s battle with cancer, are about to ___42___ the l million mark.

At an early age, she was crazy about singing. Whenever she had a chance, she would sing to her heart’s content. Her sweet and charming voice tended to get people around attracted to her songs. Living in a small city, I took several odd jobs, determined to do everything in my power to support her. Soon after Jane attended school, her music teacher Mary noticed her talent by chance and volunteered to give her some guidance on how to sing. Jane practiced so hard that before long she made great progress in singing. Unfortunately, one noon a year later, Jane was crossing the street when a careless driver knocked her down. She was rushed to hospital. When I hurried there, the doctor told me that my daughter would probably not stand on her own feet. I froze with shock, feeling as if I had been thrown into a dark world. Weak and dizzy, I was about to fall to the ground when someone took hold of me. It was Mary, who got the news and raced here. She comforted me, saying firmly, “Grace, Jane needs you. You must stay calm and strong.” I nodded. Having calmed down, I entered the ward with Mary. That night, Jane recovered her consciousness (知觉) and opened her eyes. Holding her hand, I said, “My dear, everything would be fine.” Mary comforted her gently, “I know you are a strong girl, Jane. Don’t worry. We’ll be standing by you.” I was heartbroken to see tears streaming down Jane’s cheeks. After two months, we returned home from hospital. Her teachers and friends frequently visited her. Jane eventually accepted the fact that she would have to get around in a wheelchair. Never did she refer to the subject of singing again. I knew she was a nice and understanding girl, who was afraid that talking about her original dream would upset the two of us. 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。 One day, however, Mary came with good news. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When the host announced it was Jane’s turn, she was wheeled onto the stage. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 One day however, Mary came with good news. She told Jane the school music festival was to be held the next month and that her classmates all expected her to sing on behalf of her class. Jane’s eyes sparkled but responded doubtfully, “Can I...?” Mary and I immediately assured her that she could make it. In the following month, with the help of Mary, Jane kept on practicing singing. Beautiful songs echoed in our house again and smiles began to appear on her face. Finally the big day came when she could present herself. When the host announced it was Jane’s turn, she was wheeled onto the stage. Jane was greeted with warm applause. As she began to sing, the audience got absorbed in her beautiful voice. Seconds after her performance, all the audience rose with thunderous cheers. When wheeled off stage, Jane received praise and bunches of flowers from her teachers and classmates. Jane was moved to tears. The kindness and encouragement from her teachers and classmates stimulated Jane’s enthusiasm for life, making her regain confidence in pursuing her original dream, which I will support wholeheartedly. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者的女儿简梦想成为歌手，在她的音乐老师玛丽的帮助下，简为了她的梦想努力取得进步。突然有一天，简遭遇了车祸，以后都不能自己站起来了，必须坐轮椅四处走动，简再也没有提过唱歌的话题。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“然而，有一天，玛丽带来了好消息。”可知，第一段可描写玛丽告诉简希望她代表班级唱歌，简在玛丽的帮助下继续练习，终于可以展示自己了。 ②由第二段首句内容“当主持人宣布轮到简时，她被推上了舞台。”可知，第二段可描写简的歌声得到了老师和同学们的赞扬，简重新找回了最初追求梦想的信心。 2.续写线索：好消息——简怀疑自己——练习唱歌——开始表演——得到赞扬——找到信心 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①希望：expect/hope/wish ②回答：respond/reply/answer ③保证：assure/guarantee/ensure 情绪类 ①眼睛闪闪发光：eyes sparkle/eyes glitter ②感动：move/touch 【点睛】[高分句型1]As she began to sing, the audience got absorbed in her beautiful voice.（由连接词as引导时间状语从句） [高分句型2]The kindness and encouragement from her teachers and classmates stimulated Jane’s enthusiasm for life, making her regain confidence in pursuing her original dream, which I will support wholeheartedly.（由关系代词which引导非限制性定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$null 玉溪一中2024—2025学年上学期高三年级月考(二) 英 语 (2024.9) 注意事项： 1．答卷前，考生务必用黑色碳素笔将自己的学校、姓名、考籍号、考场号和座号填写在答题卡上，并认真核准条形码上的有关信息，在规定的位置贴好条形码。 2．回答选择题时，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。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，用黑色碳素笔将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 3．考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。满分150分，考试用时120分钟。 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节(共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 What color is the man’s toothbrush?

B On an extremely cold December night, fire trucks arrived in the sleepy little town of Manton, Michigan and shot to Chittle’s home. Was it because of a fire or a child climbing too high to a dangerous place? Rather, it was for helping make a dream come true. Outdoor activities and a slow pace of life are a mainstay in this rural town. When people were unable to leave the community Scott Chittle decided they needed a safe place to come together and something joyful during the winter months. And what is a better outdoor activity to get people outside than ice skating? To fulfil his dream, Chittle downloaded instructions on how to build an ice rink and then ordered a 3,000 square foot waterproof cloth and some wood to create walls online. It took 12 fire trucks to get enough water to fill the plot. It took a little time and some neighborly persuasion as Chittle went door to door to convince people to come to see his creation, and soon Chittle’s backyard ice rink became a Manton hot spot. Children were skating and shooting, a fire was burning, and hot chocolate was steaming in to-go cups. “When things were tough, it was a place,” says Chittle’s neighbor Audrey Hooker. “It was fantastic because we just came together and became calm and happy instead of concerned.” But the goodwill didn’t stop with Chittle. When the community heard how much money he used to make this project happen, everyone stepped forward. A fundraiser brought in about $1,300, and letters flooded to Chittle’s home stuffed with cash. “Almost 30 complete strangers knocked on my door to just shake my hand and say thank you, most of them handing me money as well and three asking for a hug,” says Chittle. “This has been a community thing. It’s more than me. I want to show the rest of the world what a little effort and the best intentions can do.” 24. Why did fire trucks come to Manton? A. To deal with an emergency. B. To send water to the community. C. To ensure people’s safety in the town. D. To help with Chittle building the ice rink. 25. What did Chittle do to carry out his project? A. Persuade his neighbors to make donations. B. Purchase a piece of land behind his house. C. Turn to the Internet for tips and materials. D. Research the popular lifestyles in Manton. 26. How did the ice rink affect the community? A. It made the community popular in Mantan. B. It slowed down the pace of the residents’ life. C. It offered people there comfort and company. D. It inspired the residents to do outdoor activities. 27. What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph mean? A. Everyone could make a difference to society. B. Chittle received acts of kindness from others. C The community got better due to the ice rink. D. Chittle had goodwill to the whole community. C Have you ever seen your cat or dog eating grass? They do so because it can help their digestion, and many wild species use natural substances to prevent and control diseases. This is called “zoo pharmacognosy” or, more commonly, animal self-medication. Scientists have discovered that tamarin monkeys use a specific tree resin (树脂) as medicine. In the Brazilian Atlantic Forest, scientists followed several groups of them to collect data. During one of these daily studies, tamarin monkeys were observed rubbing their bodies on the trunk of a tree. At first, researchers thought that they were marking their territory, a common behaviour in this species. Botanical experts later confirmed that the tree was a species of cabreuva, which is well known for its medical properties. Researchers decided to place camera-traps in different sites at the foot of the tree to record future visits by tamarin monkeys. The records surprisingly showed that many animals living in the forest visited it. Totally, ten species were observed. For many of them, it was the first time that behaviors similar to self-medication had been observed. More surprisingly, one species spread resin on each other’s fur in pairs. In general, the species seemed to specifically visit the tree to acquire the resin and seemingly benefit from it, either healing their wounds or fighting back parasites (寄生虫). While further studies are needed to identify the properties of the resin and thus confirm that this is indeed self-medication, the use of it suggests that cabreuva represents a common and universal drugstore for the residents of the Brazilian Atlantic Forest. It is likely to be a valuable resource helping the species maintain their magnitude by improving their health. This discovery could have an important protection influence, as the disappearance of some trees could potentially affect the survival of some animals. 28. Why do tamarin monkeys rub themselves against the tree? A. They are trying to cure diseases. B. They would like to digest what they eat. C. They are attracting companions’ attention. D. They regards the tree as part of their territory. 29. What do researchers find through camera- traps? A. Many animals copy monkeys’ behaviors. B. Animals can help each other clean the fur. C. The cabreduva is the habitat of tamarin monkeys. D. Resin may possibly used as medicine by some species. 30. What does the author think about animals using the resin as medicine? A. It helps the species bond more firmly. B. It’s an strange but impressive animal behavior. C. It benefits both the individuals and the whole species group. D They need much practice before mastering this survival skill. 31. What is the possible significance of the discovery according to the passage? A. Promoting evolution of creatures. B. Contributing to forest conservation. C. Developing new medicine from resin D. Motivating the study of monkeys’ health D There are all electric cars, boats, trains, and small planes that are a sustainable way to travel. Larger airplanes have not been able to make the transition because the lithium-ion (锂离子的) batteries are too heavy and not strong enough to provide the power for the airplane to take-off. NASA is working on a new innovative solid-state battery that can be used by the aviation (航空) industry. The batteries, called Solid-state Architecture Batteries for Enhanced Recharge ability and Safety (SABERS) do not suffer from any of the limitations of lithium-ion batteries and can outperform the batteries that are available now. The solid-state batteries that NASA researchers are working on carry more energy, and are considerably lighter, and much safer to use. That’s because solid-state batteries do not contain liquids which can lead to overheating, fires, and charge loss. Battery performance is the key to making aviation sustainable and practical. The batteries must be able to store large amounts of energy without being too heavy. And the battery must be able to rapidly release that energy. That’s where solid-state technology comes in. Liquid batteries require each cell to be inside its own steel casing. Solid-state batteries can be stacked in a single casing and that reduces the weight. The battery can also run at much higher temperatures that require much less cooling. All of this makes NASA’s new battery very promising. Now that NASA has demonstrated the new battery’s properties, the agency is looking at all its potential uses. SABERS is cooperating with researchers from Georgia Tech. “Georgia Tech has a big focus on micro mechanics of how the cell changes during operation. That helped us look at the pressures inside the battery, which then helped us improve the battery even more,” Viggiano said in the news release. “It also led us to understand from a practical standpoint how to make a cell like this.” He added that SABERS has grown from an idea discussed around a lunch table to a possible solution for sustainable aeronautics (航空学). A fully electric airplane is more likely to appear on the market. 32. Which of the following statement is true according to the first two paragraphs? A. Larger airplanes have been using lithium- ion batteries widely. B. The solid- state battery developed by NASA has been on the market. C. SABERS do much better than the lithium- ion batteries available now. D. It’s impossible to apply lithium- ion batteries to aviation for their limitations. 33. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. Advantageous features of the new battery. B. Current main tasks of NASA researchers. C. Potential problems of traditional batteries. D. Working principles of lithium-ion batteries. 34. What can be inferred from Rocco Viggiano’s words in the sixth paragraph? A. SABERS appears too optimistic about its future. B. The stability of SABERS has been proved perfect. C. Further research is being done to improve ASBERS. D. Georgia Tech is in charge of producing the cells for ASBERS. 35 Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. NASA’s Electric Airplanes Are Ready to Take Off. B. Great Changes Are Taking Place in the Aviation Industry. C. A Promising Sustainable Future Has Already Taken Root. D. Solid- state Batteries May Help Larger Electric Airplanes Fly. 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。 Meat is an indispensable part of Chinese cuisine. But not everyone is fond of eating meat. ___36___ As early as the Tang Dynasty(618-907), compassionate people invented “mock meat” from tofu and vegetables, a tradition that has lasted until the present day. Now, people who want to cut down on cholesterol, reduce their carbon footprint or express sympathy for animals may have found some answers from plant-based meat. Plant-based meat is commonly used in many foods and the most popular case can be found in veggie burgers, whose “meat” part is often made from ingredients such as beans, nuts, grains and mushrooms. If you tried veggie burgers years ago and thought them as rubbery, flavourless, it’s a good time to give them another chance. ___37___ It is even more real and delicious than you can imagine. ___38___ Many meatless manufacturers don’t reveal their total emission, but research shows they do generate much fewer greenhouse gas emissions compared to their meat equivalence. One study found that making a Beyond Burger, a veggie burger, uses 99 percent less water, 93 percent less land, and nearly 50 percent less energy. More and more people are looking to limit their meat consumption. A lot of research supports the idea that a plant-based diet can boost your health, decrease the risk of heart disease, type II diabetes and certain cancers, and help you stay at a healthy weight. ___39___ Physical and economic benefits have drawn companies and manufacturers to devote themselves to the plant-based meat industry. But it is not so easy as we expect. ___40___ They are patiently planning to increase their employee count, purchase manufacturing facilities, and expand their sales and distribution channels. Despite these challenges, the plant-based industry is continuing to grow rapidly and many in the industry are optimistic about the future. A. Doubts have been raised over food safety issues. B. Old habits die hard and it takes time to accept new things. C. Popularity goes with reducing negative environmental impacts. D. Plant-based meat industry will soon substitute the traditional one. E. It can even lengthen your life and be good for your mental health. F. Newer varieties mock the look, flavor, and texture of the real thing. G. People’s reasons for not eating meat are as varied as people themselves. 第三部分 语言知识运用(共两节，满分45分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 A couple, who began raising money for ___41___ 40 years ago after their daughter’s battle with cancer, are about to ___42___ the l million mark.

At an early age, she was crazy about singing. Whenever she had a chance, she would sing to her heart’s content. Her sweet and charming voice tended to get people around attracted to her songs. Living in a small city, I took several odd jobs, determined to do everything in my power to support her. Soon after Jane attended school, her music teacher Mary noticed her talent by chance and volunteered to give her some guidance on how to sing. Jane practiced so hard that before long she made great progress in singing. Unfortunately, one noon a year later, Jane was crossing the street when a careless driver knocked her down. She was rushed to hospital. When I hurried there, the doctor told me that my daughter would probably not stand on her own feet. I froze with shock, feeling as if I had been thrown into a dark world. Weak and dizzy, I was about to fall to the ground when someone took hold of me. It was Mary, who got the news and raced here. She comforted me, saying firmly, “Grace, Jane needs you. You must stay calm and strong.” I nodded. Having calmed down, I entered the ward with Mary. That night, Jane recovered her consciousness (知觉) and opened her eyes. Holding her hand, I said, “My dear, everything would be fine.” Mary comforted her gently, “I know you are a strong girl, Jane. Don’t worry. We’ll be standing by you.” I was heartbroken to see tears streaming down Jane’s cheeks. After two months, we returned home from hospital. Her teachers and friends frequently visited her. Jane eventually accepted the fact that she would have to get around in a wheelchair. Never did she refer to the subject of singing again. I knew she was a nice and understanding girl, who was afraid that talking about her original dream would upset the two of us. 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。 One day, however, Mary came with good news. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When the host announced it was Jane’s turn, she was wheeled onto the stage. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
