The key is to balance innovation with the preservation of literary integrity.”（蒙哥马利指出：“虽 然传统主义者可能会觉得文学的数字化发展令人不安，但不可否认的是，读者和故事之间的界限正变得 越来越模糊。关键是要在创新和保持文学完整性之间取得平衡。”）可推知，蒙哥马利对文学的数字化 发展持客观态度。故选 A项。 C 【答案】28—31 ADBD 【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项关于城市农场产品的碳足迹的研究。研究发现，城市农 场产品的碳足迹比传统农场碳足迹高很多，同时研究者探讨了解决方案。 【详解】 28．细节理解题。根据第一段中的 Urban agriculture, the practice of farming within the limits of a city, is becoming increasingly popular worldwide and is considered a way to make cities and urban food systems more sustainable.（城市农业，即在城市范围内耕种的做法，在世界范围内越来越受欢迎，被认为是使城市和城 市粮食系统更具可持续性的一种方式。）可知，城市农业的一个好处是能让城市和城市粮食系统更具有 可持续性。故选 A项。 29．细节理解题。根据第四段内容 Farmers and gardeners at urban agriculture sites across the world were employed to use daily diary entries to take down inputs—the materials used to construct farms and cultivate crops—and harvests from their food-growing sites throughout the 2019 season.（在 2019年的整个季节，世界 各地的城市农业站点的农民和园丁都被雇佣使用每日日记条目来记录投入——用于建造农场和种植作物 的材料——以及他们的食物种植站点的收成。）可知，该研究收集数据的方式是让农民和园丁用日记条 目的方式记录城市农场的投入与产出。故选 D项。 30．推理判断题。根据最后一段中的 These farms typically only operate for a few years, so the greenhouse gases used to produce those materials are not used effectively.（这些农场通常只经营几年，因此用于生产这 些材料的温室气体没有得到有效利用。）可知，降低城市农场产品的碳足迹需要充分利用基础设施设 备，即延长其使用年限。故选 B项。 哈尔滨市第三十二中学校 2024年9月 高三月考 第 3 页，共 12 页 第 4 页，共 12 页 31．主旨大意题。根据第一段内容 Urban agriculture, the practice of farming within the limits of a city, is becoming increasingly popular worldwide and is considered a way to make cities and urban food systems more sustainable. Despite strong evidence of the social and nutritional benefits of urban agriculture, its carbon footprint remains short of research.（城市农业，即在城市范围内耕种的做法，在世界范围内越来越受欢迎，被认为 是使城市和城市粮食系统更具可持续性的一种方式。尽管有强有力的证据来证明城市农业的社会效益和 营养效益，但其碳足迹仍缺乏相关研究。）并结合全文可知，文章主要介绍了一项关于城市农场产品的 碳足迹的研究。研究发现，城市农场产品的碳足迹比传统农场碳足迹高很多，同时研究者探讨了解决方 案，即这篇文章主要讲的是城市农场产品的碳足迹。故选 D项。 D 【答案】32—35 CDDA 【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了记忆是可塑的，容易被改变，并通过介绍一些研究和实验论 证了这一观点。 【详解】 32．词义猜测题。根据画线词下文 What we remember is not necessarily what happened. A memory is not a recording. It’s more like a dramatic reconstruction and one that we can keep changing without realizing it.（我们 所记得的不一定发生了。记忆不是记录。它更像是一种戏剧性的重建，我们可以在没有意识到的情况下 不断改变它。）可知，记忆不是记录，更像是一种戏剧性的重建，即记忆容易改变，故画线词意思是 “容易改变的”。故选 C项。 33．细节理解题。根据第三段中的 Her work showed that memories can easily be influenced, even after they’ve been created. For example, if two eyewitnesses talk with each other, their memories of events often change, absorbing what they’ve heard from the other one—but they won’t realize this has happened.（她的研究 表明，记忆很容易受到影响，即使是在记忆被创造出来之后。例如，如果两个目击者互相交谈，他们对 事件的记忆经常会发生变化，吸收从另一个人那里听到的东西——但他们不会意识到这已经发生了。） 可知，交换信息会影响目击者的记忆。故选 D项。 34．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的 The Lost in the Mall experiment took a test group of subjects and talked to them in depth about key childhood memories while also adding an invented one—the experience of having been lost in a shopping center. It was found that between a quarter and a third of subjects not only accepted this new memory as a genuine one but enriched it with specific details.（“迷失商场”实验选取了一 组测试对象，并与他们深入探讨了关键的童年记忆，同时还添加了一个虚构的记忆——在购物中心迷路 的经历。结果发现，四分之一到三分之一的受试者不仅相信这段新记忆是真实的，而且用具体的细节丰 富了它。）可知，“迷失商场”实验证明了虚构的经历可以固定在一个人的记忆中。故选 D项。 35．主旨大意题。根据最后一段中的 But research suggests that they’re highly unlikely to be actual memories due to the way memory is stored in the baby brain. Your precious first memory may well not be a real memory, and we’re all perhaps living in our imaginations more than we realize.（但研究表明，由于记忆在婴儿大脑中 的存储方式，它们极可能不是真正的记忆。你珍贵的第一次记忆很可能不是真实的记忆，我们都可能生 活在想象中而没有意识到这一点。）并结合全文可知，文章主要说明了记忆是可塑的，容易被改变，并 通过介绍一些研究和实验论证了这一点，A选项（记忆的不可靠性）最适合作为文章标题。故选 A项。 第二节 【答案】36—40 FDBCE 【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一些快速建立友谊的方法。 【详解】 36．根据上文 Many people desire stronger, more authentic friendships as adults.（许多人成年后渴望更牢 固、更真实的友谊。）以及下文 How do you skip the awkward chit-chat phase and hit the fast-forward button on a potential friendship? I’ve learned a few things.（你如何跳过尴尬的闲聊阶段，按下一段潜在友谊的快进 键？我学到了一些东西。）可知，下文提到了跳过尴尬的闲聊阶段，快速建立友谊，推测本句与上文构 成转折，指出建立友谊过程的困难，F项（但是建立这些关系的过程可能是缓慢而令人沮丧的）符合语 境。故选 F项。 37．根据下文“What do you think is the best television finale of all time?” This is a great conversation starter as long as it interests you.（“你认为有史以来最好的电视大结局是什么？”只要你感兴趣，这是一个很好的 开场白。）可知，下文主要建议聊自己感兴趣的内容，D项（与其坚持肤浅的喋喋不休，不如直接说些 让你兴奋的事情）引出下文，符合语境。故选 D项。 38．根据下文内容 Often our friendships feel superficial because they are based on gossip. It’s human nature to focus on a third person when we are anxious. We share spicy updates about former classmates with our high school friends, or grab a drink with colleagues and complain about the boss. But a friendship built on gossip can leave both people feeling exhausted and depressed after they hang out.（我们的友谊常常因为建立在流言蜚语 的基础上而显得肤浅。当我们感到焦虑的时候把注意力集中在第三者身上是人类的天性。我们和高中同 学分享以前同学的最新劲爆消息，或者和同事喝酒抱怨老板。但是，建立在流言蜚语基础上的友谊可能 会让双方在出去玩后都感到疲惫和沮丧。）可知，本段给出的建议是通过少说流言蜚语来建立友谊，B 项（少说流言蜚语）可概括本段内容，符合语境。故选 B项。 39．根据上文 If a friend starts to give you updates on other people you know, it can be helpful to say, “I want to hear about what’s going on with you.” Or you can ask yourself, “What would I share about myself if I were with my best friend right now?”（如果一个朋友开始告诉你你认识的其他人的最新情况，这样说会有所帮助： “我想听听你最近的情况。”或者你可以问自己：“如果我现在和我最好的朋友在一起，我会分享关于 我自己的什么？”）可知，空处应承接上文，说明接下来要分享的内容，C项（然后直接跳到事情的核 心）符合语境。故选 C项。 40．根据下文 They are also able to share their struggles without fear of judgment. A great way to deepen a friendship is to ask someone “What has been challenging for you since the last year?” or “What’s a belief you have that has changed over the course of your life?” These are questions we rarely ask each other, but they reveal so much about who we are, and who we’re trying to be.（他们也能够分享自己的挣扎，而不用担心被评判。 加深友谊的一个好方法就是问对方“自去年以来你遇到了什么挑战？”或者“在你的一生中，你有什么 信念发生了改变？”这些都是我们很少问对方的问题，但它们揭示了很多关于我们是谁以及我们想成为 什么样的人的内容。）可知，下文提到了分享各自的挣扎，以及对问题的看法，E项（真正的朋友会努 力去了解对方对难题的想法）引出下文，符合语境。故选 E项。 第 5 页，共 12 页 第 6 页，共 12 页 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分 30分） 第一节 【答案】 41—45 ACDDB 46—50

Turning around, I saw my brothers busily scooping snow from the driveway. “We’re not helping you. We just need blocks of snow for our igloo,” my younger brother explained hastily. Watching them, I couldn’t help but smile. Despite their explanation, it was clear they were helping me, which greatly warmed my heart. With their help, the task became easier, and soon scoop by scoop, we cleared out the driveway together, laughing and chatting as we worked. We dug up enough snow to build the igloo of our dreams. After we finished, we sat inside the igloo, laughing about our morning adventures. As we sipped some hot cocoa, the warmth of the cocoa and the coziness of the igloo made me forget all about the cold outside. Looking around at my brothers’ smiling faces, I felt a warm sense of contentment. Despite our silly competitions and occasional teasing, there was nowhere else I’d rather be than right there, surrounded by my family. As we sat together, I couldn’t help but feel grateful for these moments. It wasn’t just about the igloo or the hot cocoa—it was about the bond we shared as siblings. That day, as we sat in our cozy snow fortress, I realized that our rivalry was just a small part of the love and support we had for each other. And that was what made our Sundays so special. 【分析】文章以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者因为比兄弟们起床晚不得不做最繁重的家务并清理车道， 作者因此非常沮丧。后来兄弟们来帮助作者清理积雪，作者心情放松下来，与兄弟们建立了冰屋，一起 坐在冰屋里享受快乐时光，作者感到非常满足，对家人充满感激。 【详解】 1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容 “突然，我听到铲子摩擦车道混凝土的声音。”可知，第一段可描写兄弟们帮助作 者一起清理积雪的过程和作者内心的感受。 ②由第二段首句内容“结束后，我们坐在冰屋里，笑着谈论早上的奇遇。”可知，第二段可描写兄弟们 在冰屋里一起的快乐时光以及作者的感悟。 第 9 页，共 12 页 第 10 页，共 12 页 2.续写线索： 帮助清理积雪——心情放松——建造冰屋——在一起享受快乐时光——感到幸福 3.词汇激活： 行为类 帮助：help/assist/aid 清理：clear out/sort out 完成：finish/complete 情绪类 欢笑：laugh/grin 满足感：a sense of contentment/a sense of fulfillment 感激：feel grateful/feel thankful/feel appreciative 【点睛】 【高分句型 1】Turning around, I saw my brothers busily scooping snow from the driveway.

Text 2 W: Oh, I can’t believe it’s packed at 11: 30 am. How smart we are by getting here early! M: But it seems like we’ll have to wait 15 minutes for a table. Text 3 W: What sport do you like to watch, Peter? M: I prefer playing baseball and basketball. But watch? I’m a big soccer fan. I’d like to see younger guys running after a ball. Text 4 M: Hi, Mary, I just want to go over the schedule for the meeting, you know, just to be on the safe side. W: OK. The registration starts at 9: 00 and goes to 10: 30. Then the meeting will begin at 10: 40. Text 5 W: I need a bike to get to my workplace. How much does this one cost? M: That bike is the cheapest one we have, and it costs $200. But this bike is much better and costs $220. W: Thanks, but I’ll take the cheaper one. I also want this helmet that costs $30. Text 6 M: Garden Hotel. Can I help you? W: My name is Vicky Clark. I saw your advertisement in the newspaper. Can you tell me about the job, please? M: We need people working in the kitchen, washing up, and clearing tables. What jobs have you done before? W: I’ve worked in a restaurant. But I’m a student, so I can only work on weekends. M: That’s not a problem. Can you come here at 2: 00 this afternoon to meet the manager? W: I’m sorry. I have a class from 2: 00 to 3: 00, but I can come afterward at 3: 30. M: That’s fine. Text 7 M: Why don’t you like going to the cinema? W: Well, there are too many problems. M: Like what? W: For example, when the film is popular, the cinema is rather crowded. When the traffic is bad, it takes a long time to get there. M: Are these all the problems? W: No, the worst is the people—children running up and down, people chatting endlessly and so on. So I’d rather stay at home and wait to see the films when they are shown on TV. M: Then you may see the films a bit later than other people. W: Yes, but I’ll be more comfortable in the quietness in my living room. M: Well, l can’t stand others talking about a new film before I see it. So I prefer seeing films at the cinema as soon as they come out. Text 8 M: What are you reading? W: A book about the different ways people eat in different countries. M: A recipe book? Sounds boring to me. W: Well, it’s not really about food. It’s about how people actually eat and what they eat with. For example, we use a fork and knife in Canada, don’t we? M: Yes, I see. So, it’s not like that everywhere? W: Yes. In some Asian countries, like China and South Korea, they prefer chopsticks. M: Asians are good at using chopsticks. W: Yes. But do you know there are different kinds of chopsticks? Nowadays chopsticks made of wood or bamboo are used less and less while metal chopsticks are more common in these places. M: What else does the book say? W: Well, many people in Africa and the Middle East eat with right hands. But they never actually put hands into mouths. They carefully put food near mouths and then push it inside. M: Why? W: Oh, it’s just part of the custom. Text 9 M: Hi, Jessie. You’re moving now? I thought you would move next month. W: I was, but I’ve got new neighbors. They have parties every day. So noisy! I can’t stand it anymore. M: Where are you moving to? W: I found a new apartment near my company. M: Well, let me help you. 第 11 页，共 12 页 第 12 页，共 12 页 W: Thanks. That desk is really heavy. I don’t think I can move it by myself. M: OK. Let me try. Which car do you want me to put it in? W: The white one in front of the door. Please be careful. Don’t hurt your back. M: OK. What about these magazines? W: Please throw them away. I don’t need them anymore. M: The garbage can is full. I’d better put them in a bag and take them outside. W: All right. M: OK. Now what? W: I think we’re finished. Thanks a lot. Text 10 W: Hi, everyone. It is raining now. We have to give up our plans for a boat trip along the River Thames and walk along the south bank. But the good news is that we still have a huge selection of world-class museums. And many of them are free for visitors. You know, the UK’s capital isn’t a bad place to spend a rainy day. So our rainy tour of London’s museums today starts in the science and national history museums of west London and finishes at the National Gallery. We’ll start our museum tour in the heart of London, South Kensington. South Kensington is well-known for its old buildings, fantastic restaurants, and many designer shops. But the real reason visitors flood here is for the chance to experience three of the city’s best museums: Victoria and Albert Museum, the National History Museum, and the Science Museum. All of them happen to be within walking distance from one another, so you won’t get wet. Today, it happens to be the last Thursday of the month, so we can enjoy free guided tours, talks, and events at the National History Museum. Remember, we have to leave there at 1: 00 pm. Finally, we’ll arrive at the National Gallery. It’s an 1800s’ building, home to over 2,000 works of art by famous painters like Leonardo da Vinci, Claude Monet, and Vincent van Gogh.
