There are 29 undergraduate Colleges. Each College has its own services. facilities and community. Applying for accommodation You don’t need to apply for accommodation separately.

Growing up in Karnataka, she began accompanying her father into the wild at just two years old. But in her hometown, kids grew up with a negative perspective on wildlife. Elephants destroyed crops and sometimes people were badly injured or killed. Karanth discovered kids wouldn’t appreciate the fact that it’s the best place to witness extraordinary animals. In 2017, a conversation with her friend Gabby shifted her mindset towards education. Within half a year, Karanth and Gabby had the first version of “Wild Shaale” on their hands. A program designed for students who come into frequent contact with wildlife, Wild Shaale aims to develop a genuine understanding of wildlife and wild spaces and move beyond wildlife tolerance to concepts of conservation and environmental issues. The conservation education program fills a gap in environmental learning. While it is fortunate that a basic environmental education is supported by local government, Karanth believes the challenge lies in the quality of the curriculum and whether it’s delivered effectively and consistently. “You have to visualize what these schools look like. They may not have electricity — forget having computers, internet, iPads, or anything.” Encouraging the students to find commonalities between themselves and the animals is the first step to changing perceptions and hopefully, behaviors. “It comes down to the same things: we need food; we need water; we need space. Then they start to understand why situations of conflict arise,” Karanth says. “But then how do you convince them not to get angry, not to act in a way that leads to harm? That’s something we’re trying to work on. It’s not easy.” 24. What problem might Karanth’s hometown have faced? A. Human-wildlife conflict. B. Loss of wildlife habitats. C. Overpopulation of elephants. D. Disregard for wildlife balance. 25. Why did Karanth launch the program Wild Shaale? A. To help students identify animals. B. To fill a gap in local education. C. To change how students perceive wildlife. D. To publicize wildlife diversity. 26. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. The support to the plan. B. The barrier to the program. C. The curriculum arrangement. D. The schools’conditions. 27. What is Karanth trying to achieve in the program? A. A shift in humans’ attitudes and behavior. B. A breakthrough in environmental studies. C. Appropriate ways to end local conflicts. D. Approaches to changing animals’ behavior. C Here’s a quick quiz. Person A does a favor for you. Person B asks you to do a favor for him. Who do you tend to like more? Surprisingly, the answer is Person B. This quirk (怪癖) of human nature is known as the Ben Franklin Effect. Benjamin Franklin came across the phenomenon in 1736 when serving as a clerk to the Pennsylvania Assembly. A powerful member didn’t care for Franklin and threatened to make life miserable for him. What to do? Instead of winning him over with sweet talk, Franklin asked if he could borrow a rare and valuable book the man owned. This request altered the man’s attitude and paved the way for their friendship. Franklin’s takeaway: “He that has once done you a kindness will be ready to do you another, than he whom you yourself have obliged.” Several studies have confirmed this. But how can we explain the Ben Franklin Effect? Some psychologists refer to cognitive dissonance (失调). It’s difficult to hold two contradictory thoughts at the same time. It makes us uncomfortable. We resolve this tension by changing our mind. “I don’t like Joe, but I am doing him a favor,” we might think. “So maybe I do like him.” While cognitive dissonance explains a lot, it alone doesn’t explain the Ben Franklin Effect. One 2015 study found that it was, rather, the affiliative (亲和的) motive that the requests convey. That is, we humans want to maintain good relations with other humans, and one way to achieve this is by doing favors for others. This explains a lot about altruistic behavior. We like being useful and, by extension, we like those who give us the opportunity to do so. It’s in our genes. Yet there is much we still don’t know about the Ben Franklin Effect. Does it apply equally across cultures? Is there a point beyond which asking a favor makes you less, not more likable? Asking to borrow a book is one thing; asking to borrow a car is another. 28. Why does the author mention Benjamin Franklin’s experience? A To illustrate a dilemma in making choices. B. To suggest a way of striking up friendships. C. To stress the importance of strategic requests. D. To introduce the origin of the Ben Franklin Effect. 29. What is a reason for people’s tendency to like those asking for favors? A. Reducing the tension caused by social contact. B. Increasing the chance of getting help in return. C. Avoiding the discomfort from conflicting thoughts. D. Establishing a cooperative community of shared trust. 30. What does the underlined word “altruistic” probably mean in paragraph 4? A. Selfless. B. Impolite. C. Aggressive. D. Responsible. 31. What does the author think of the Ben Franklin Effect? A. It makes little sense. B. It applies to most cultures. C. It has situational limitations. D. It has great practical significance. D At one time, our growing population was seen as central to wildlife extinction, resource exhaustion, pollution and environmental destruction. But today, our concerns shift to declining birth rates due to increased reproductive choice for women. This is a positive development, but is often described as a “crisis” in the media, highlighting economic and senior care challenges. Lost in the conversation are the many positive aspects of an aging society, which is the result of people living healthier and longer lives, and common-sense realities like reduced needs for infrastructure (基础设施) and lower ecological impacts. Also lost is the fact that our population still grows by 80 million people every year. And the consequences of high birth rates are severe. Among them is global warming. In fact, increased emissions (排放) from population growth have canceled more than three quarters of the emissions saved through energy efficiency and renewables over the past three decades. Yet, no matter how well documented the link between population and climate, lowering our population is notably absent from the conversation on solutions. Instead, the focus is on technology that will supposedly allow our entire growing population to enjoy the energy-intensive lifestyles now enjoyed by the rich, and with no climate impacts. But “green” technology is not the solution it is advertised to be. Its expansion to the degree needed to power a growing population at a decent standard of living would itself require a shocking investment in fossil (化石) fuels. It also requires massive mining operations, many of which take place on the backs of low-wage workers in Africa where it is driving destruction of rainforests critical to the survival of great apes. Besides, it requires 10 times the land area as fossil fuel plants for the same amount of energy generated. When global warming threatens to push billions into unsafe temperatures, it is no time to panic that we are adding fewer to those billions. In fact, declining birth rates should be cause for celebration as they signify advances in gender equality and a reduced burden on Earth. 32. What can we learn from paragraph 2? A. The global population is decreasing every year. B. The benefits of an aging society are overlooked. C. The ecological environment is turning for the better. D. The media make up misleading news about the population. 33. What is highlighted as a disadvantage of high birth rates? A. Reduced infrastructure needs. B. Challenges in senior care services. C A slowdown in economic growth. D. Increased greenhouse gas emissions. 34. Why is “green” technology questioned in the text? A. It does damage to the ecosystem. B. It is not popular around the world. C. It is unaffordable for poor regions. D. It has little effect on reducing pollution. 35. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Aging Societies: A Global Crisis B. The Mystery of “Green” Technology C. The Trend of Population Growth D. Declining Birth Rates: A Hopeful Sign 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。 How to charge an electric vehicle (EV) is one of the biggest concerns people have when working out whether going electric is right for them. It is true that sometimes gaining access to reliable charging can seem a bit tricky. ____36____ First, download an app with a comprehensive map of the public charging points showing their locations, how powerful they are, and whether they’re working. All this is vital information because, even if you have public charging points nearby, you will need alternatives in case they’re in use.____37____ A growing number of property owners are renting out their charging points and drive ways to other local EV drivers when they’re not using them.____38____ Thus, your car gets charged, the owners make money, and emissions are reduced. ____39____ For example, when your car is running out of juice, you’d just pull up to a battery-change station from your car brand and sit in the car while a fully charged unit is changed in. The Chinese EV brand Nio does this, but isn’t available in the UK as yet. For now, if charging access remains difficult for you, it’s still possible to go electric—in part.____40____ Many hybrid (混合) cars are now good for 50 miles of electric running before you need to use the engine. So, if most of your driving is local, you might only need to find a charger once or twice a week, while you have the backup of a fuel engine for long journeys. A. But it may be easier than you think. B. It actually worked out much cheaper. C. There are also other innovative ways to get your EV going. D. A plug-in EV combines a petrol engine with a smaller battery. E. A “fast” charger usually takes eight hours to fully charge an EV. F. So you need to get a good feel for where your nearest points are. G. You can find a map of homeowners whose charging points are available. 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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Have you ever heard of and seen Canadian geese?

Tom was 10 and Nathan was 8,the two of whom were closely bonded, unlike some other siblings who would often fight over small things. Except for one thing, cleaning! One sunny morning, Martha called out to her children,“ Tom and Nathan, it’s time to clean your room!” The kids sighed deeply. Cleaning their room was always a chore they disliked. Unwillingly, Tom and Nathan made their way to their messy room. Toys were scattered all over the floor, clothes were piled up on chairs, and books were haphazardly (随意的) piled on the shelves. It was a complete mess! Mom entered,“ Oh, my! This room is a disaster zone! We need to work together to clean it up.” Tom and Nathan exchanged looks, clearly not pleased with the task at hand. They had a history of arguing, especially when it came to cleaning their room. Mom, sensing their unwillingness, reminded the kids,” A clean room not only look snice but also helps us find things easily. It’s important to take care of our belongings and keep our surroundings clean.” The boys didn’t respond, seemingly thinking about something. Jeff, who was passing by, overheard the dialogue and decided to lend a hand. He decided to take a different approach. He said, “I understand that cleaning can be boring, but what if we turn it into a fun challenge? Let’s see who can find the most interesting item hidden in this messy room. The winner gets to choose what we have for dessert tonight!” Tom and Nathan’s eyes lit up with excitement. They loved a good challenge, especially when there was a delicious reward involved. They eagerly accepted their father’s proposal and began searching for hidden treasures. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右; 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 They started by picking up the toys and organizing them into respective boxes. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Slowly but surely, the rom began to look tidier. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 浙江金华第一中学高三年级2024年10月考 英语试题卷 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】 What do we know about Tom?

It’s been a lot of fun exploring the nearby hiking trails and spending weekends camping. W: Sounds great. But I can imagine it’s not all plain sailing. Any challenges you’ve had to face? M: Oh yes. Managing loads of assignments and exams can be quite stressful. And the most serious problem is the financial issue. My part-time job barely covers all my expenses, so budgeting has been a real struggle. W: I can see how that can be tough. Where do you usually study? M: I mostly study in the university library. It’s a quiet and well-equipped place, perfect for focusing. W: When do you usually find time to relax? M: Honestly, most of my free time is taken up by my part-time job or studying. I try to catch some relaxation time at the weekend by hanging out with friends or going for a long walk in the nearby park. 听下面一段独白，回答以下小题。【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 18.

C 【解析】 【原文】It’s quite incredible how a simple hobby can turn into a fulfilling and successful career. I want to share my journey with you, starting from my love for photography. I used to take pictures of landscapes and people during my free time. It was my way of capturing life’s beautiful moments and expressing my creativity. Little did I expect that this passion would lead to a career. Over time, I improved my skills by experimenting with various techniques and attending photography workshops. Friends and family began to notice my talent and asked me to photograph their events. This was the turning point. I started doing small jobs like capturing (拍摄) weddings, parties, and special moments. Word of mouth quickly spread, and soon, I was in demand as a photographer. As my client base expanded, so did my confidence and ambition. I realized I could turn my hobby into a full- time career. However, this journey had its challenges. The pressure of delivering perfect photos, the irregular income, and the competition in the photography world tested my patience. Now, I’ve established my own photography business, specializing in portrait (肖像) photography. I’ve traveled to beautiful places, met wonderful people, and captured countless unforgettable moments. My future plans include exploring new types of photography, teaching ambitious photographers, and continuing to find new ways to tell domestic stories through my camera. 第二部分 阅读（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，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A At Cambridge, rather than choosing a hall of residence or dormitory, you live in a Cambridge College.

Our accommodation contracts are around 27 to 39 weeks.(一般来说，你不需要每年付12个月的房租。我们的住宿合同约为27至39周)”可知，对于学生而言，是可以省钱的。故选B。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据Where you will live部分中“You can live outside of this area if you get permission from your College or if you’re studying abroad as part of your course.(如果你得到学校的许可，或者你在国外学习作为你课程的一部分，你可以住在这个地区以外)”可知，经学院批准，学生可以在学期期间住在规定区域以外的地方。故选D。 【23题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Register and click to find out about College facilities and student life on the College pages.(注册并点击在学院页面上了解学院设施和学生生活)”可知，这篇文章可以在大学网站上看到。故选C。 B To Karanth, everyone in every part of the world is born with a fundamental connection to nature. Growing up in Karnataka, she began accompanying her father into the wild at just two years old. But in her hometown, kids grew up with a negative perspective on wildlife. Elephants destroyed crops and sometimes people were badly injured or killed. Karanth discovered kids wouldn’t appreciate the fact that it’s the best place to witness extraordinary animals. In 2017, a conversation with her friend Gabby shifted her mindset towards education. Within half a year, Karanth and Gabby had the first version of “Wild Shaale” on their hands. A program designed for students who come into frequent contact with wildlife, Wild Shaale aims to develop a genuine understanding of wildlife and wild spaces and move beyond wildlife tolerance to concepts of conservation and environmental issues. The conservation education program fills a gap in environmental learning. While it is fortunate that a basic environmental education is supported by local government, Karanth believes the challenge lies in the quality of the curriculum and whether it’s delivered effectively and consistently. “You have to visualize what these schools look like. They may not have electricity — forget having computers, internet, iPads, or anything.” Encouraging the students to find commonalities between themselves and the animals is the first step to changing perceptions and hopefully, behaviors. “It comes down to the same things: we need food; we need water; we need space. Then they start to understand why situations of conflict arise,” Karanth says. “But then how do you convince them not to get angry, not to act in a way that leads to harm? That’s something we’re trying to work on. It’s not easy.” 24. What problem might Karanth’s hometown have faced? A. Human-wildlife conflict. B. Loss of wildlife habitats. C. Overpopulation of elephants. D. Disregard for wildlife balance. 25. Why did Karanth launch the program Wild Shaale? A. To help students identify animals. B. To fill a gap in local education. C. To change how students perceive wildlife. D. To publicize wildlife diversity. 26. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. The support to the plan. B. The barrier to the program. C. The curriculum arrangement. D. The schools’conditions. 27. What is Karanth trying to achieve in the program? A. A shift in humans’ attitudes and behavior. B. A breakthrough in environmental studies. C. Appropriate ways to end local conflicts. D. Approaches to changing animals’ behavior. 【答案】24. A 25. C 26. B 27. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了卡兰斯通过建立Wild Shaale项目来改变学生对野生动物的看法。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“But in her hometown, kids grew up with a negative perspective on wildlife. Elephants destroyed crops and sometimes people were badly injured or killed. Karanth discovered kids wouldn’t appreciate the fact that it’s the best place to witness extraordinary animals.(但在她的家乡，孩子们从小就对野生动物持消极态度。大象毁坏了庄稼，有时人们严重受伤或死亡。卡兰斯发现，孩子们不会欣赏这样一个事实：这里是观看非凡动物的最佳地点)”可知，卡兰斯的家乡面临问题是人类与野生动物的冲突。故选A。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“A program designed for students who come into frequent contact with wildlife, Wild Shaale aims to develop a genuine understanding of wildlife and wild spaces and move beyond wildlife tolerance to concepts of conservation and environmental issues. The conservation education program fills a gap in environmental learning.(该项目专为经常接触野生动物的学生设计，旨在培养对野生动物和野生空间的真正理解，并超越野生动物的耐受性，了解保护和环境问题的概念。保育教育计划填补了环境学习的空白)”可知，Karanth启动Wild Shaale项目是为了改变学生对野生动物的看法。故选C。 【26题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“While it is fortunate that a basic environmental education is supported by local government, Karanth believes the challenge lies in the quality of the curriculum and whether it’s delivered effectively and consistently. “You have to visualize what these schools look like. They may not have electricity — forget having computers, internet, iPads, or anything.”(虽然幸运的是，基础环境教育得到了当地政府的支持，但Karanth认为，挑战在于课程的质量，以及课程是否有效和持续。“你必须想象这些学校是什么样子。他们可能没有电——更别提有电脑、互联网、ipad或任何东西了。”)”可知，第三段主要讲了项目的障碍。故选B。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Encouraging the students to find commonalities between themselves and the animals is the first step to changing perceptions and hopefully, behaviors.(鼓励学生发现自己和动物之间的共同点是改变观念和行为的第一步)”可知，卡兰斯想在这个项目中实现人类态度和行为的转变。故选A。 C Here’s a quick quiz. Person A does a favor for you. Person B asks you to do a favor for him. Who do you tend to like more? Surprisingly, the answer is Person B. This quirk (怪癖) of human nature is known as the Ben Franklin Effect. Benjamin Franklin came across the phenomenon in 1736 when serving as a clerk to the Pennsylvania Assembly. A powerful member didn’t care for Franklin and threatened to make life miserable for him. What to do? Instead of winning him over with sweet talk, Franklin asked if he could borrow a rare and valuable book the man owned. This request altered the man’s attitude and paved the way for their friendship. Franklin’s takeaway: “He that has once done you a kindness will be ready to do you another, than he whom you yourself have obliged.” Several studies have confirmed this. But how can we explain the Ben Franklin Effect? Some psychologists refer to cognitive dissonance (失调). It’s difficult to hold two contradictory thoughts at the same time. It makes us uncomfortable. We resolve this tension by changing our mind. “I don’t like Joe, but I am doing him a favor,” we might think. “So maybe I do like him.” While cognitive dissonance explains a lot, it alone doesn’t explain the Ben Franklin Effect. One 2015 study found that it was, rather, the affiliative (亲和的) motive that the requests convey. That is, we humans want to maintain good relations with other humans, and one way to achieve this is by doing favors for others. This explains a lot about altruistic behavior. We like being useful and, by extension, we like those who give us the opportunity to do so. It’s in our genes. Yet there is much we still don’t know about the Ben Franklin Effect. Does it apply equally across cultures? Is there a point beyond which asking a favor makes you less, not more likable? Asking to borrow a book is one thing; asking to borrow a car is another. 28. Why does the author mention Benjamin Franklin’s experience? A. To illustrate a dilemma in making choices. B. To suggest a way of striking up friendships. C. To stress the importance of strategic requests. D. To introduce the origin of the Ben Franklin Effect. 29. What is a reason for people’s tendency to like those asking for favors? A. Reducing the tension caused by social contact. B. Increasing the chance of getting help in return. C. Avoiding the discomfort from conflicting thoughts. D. Establishing a cooperative community of shared trust. 30. What does the underlined word “altruistic” probably mean in paragraph 4? A. Selfless. B. Impolite. C. Aggressive. D. Responsible. 31. What does the author think of the Ben Franklin Effect? A. It makes little sense. B. It applies to most cultures. C. It has situational limitations. D. It has great practical significance. 【答案】28. D 29. C 30. A 31. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。文章介绍了本·富兰克林效应。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段的“Surprisingly, the answer is Person B. This quirk (怪癖) of human nature is known as the Ben Franklin Effect.(令人惊讶的是，答案是B型这种人性的怪癖被称为本·富兰克林效应。)”和第二段的“Benjamin Franklin came across the phenomenon in 1736 when serving as a clerk to the Pennsylvania Assembly. A powerful member didn’t care for Franklin and threatened to make life miserable for him. What to do? Instead of winning him over with sweet talk, Franklin asked if he could borrow a rare and valuable book the man owned. This request altered the man’s attitude and paved the way for their friendship. Franklin’s takeaway: “He that has once done you a kindness will be ready to do you another, than he whom you yourself have obliged.”(本杰明·富兰克林(Benjamin Franklin)在1736年担任宾夕法尼亚州议会书记员时遇到了这种现象。一个有权有势的成员不喜欢富兰克林，并威胁要让他的生活很痛苦。该怎么办？富兰克林没有用甜言蜜语来说服他，而是问他是否可以借他拥有的一本珍贵的书。这个请求改变了男人的态度，为他们的友谊铺平了道路。富兰克林的结论是：“曾经善待过你的人，会比你所善待的人更愿意为你做另一件事。”)”可推断，作者提到本杰明·富兰克林的经历为了介绍“本杰明·富兰克林效应”的起源。故选D。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段的“Some psychologists refer to cognitive dissonance (失调). It’s difficult to hold two contradictory thoughts at the same time. It makes us uncomfortable.(一些心理学家称之为认知失调。同时持有两种相互矛盾的思想是很难的。这让我们感到不舒服。)” 可知，人们倾向于喜欢寻求帮助的人是因为认知失调，即避免持有矛盾的想法带来的不适。故选C。 【30题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词前文“One 2015 study found that it was, rather, the affiliative (亲和的) motive that the requests convey. That is, we humans want to maintain good relations with other humans, and one way to achieve this is by doing favors for others.(2015年的一项研究发现，更确切地说，这是请求所传达的亲和动机。也就是说，我们人类希望与他人保持良好的关系，而实现这一目标的一种方式就是帮助他人。)”以及下文“We like being useful and, by extension, we like those who give us the opportunity to do so. It’s in our genes.(我们喜欢成为有用的人，推而广之，我们喜欢那些给我们这样做机会的人。这是我们的基因。)”可推断，划线词所在句说明人类希望通过帮助他人来保持良好的关系，这解释了无私的行为，因此推断画线词与selfless“无私的”意思相近。故选A。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Yet there is much we still don’t know about the Ben Franklin Effect. Does it apply equally across cultures? Is there a point beyond which asking a favor makes you less, not more likable? Asking to borrow a book is one thing; asking to borrow a car is another.(然而，我们对本·富兰克林效应还有很多不了解的地方。它在不同文化中都适用吗？有没有一个点，超过了这个点，请求别人帮忙会让你更不讨人喜欢，而不是更讨人喜欢？借书是一回事；向别人借车是另一回事。)”可知，作者认为本·富兰克林效应有情境限制。故选C。 D At one time, our growing population was seen as central to wildlife extinction, resource exhaustion, pollution and environmental destruction. But today, our concerns shift to declining birth rates due to increased reproductive choice for women. This is a positive development, but is often described as a “crisis” in the media, highlighting economic and senior care challenges. Lost in the conversation are the many positive aspects of an aging society, which is the result of people living healthier and longer lives, and common-sense realities like reduced needs for infrastructure (基础设施) and lower ecological impacts. Also lost is the fact that our population still grows by 80 million people every year. And the consequences of high birth rates are severe. Among them is global warming. In fact, increased emissions (排放) from population growth have canceled more than three quarters of the emissions saved through energy efficiency and renewables over the past three decades. Yet, no matter how well documented the link between population and climate, lowering our population is notably absent from the conversation on solutions. Instead, the focus is on technology that will supposedly allow our entire growing population to enjoy the energy-intensive lifestyles now enjoyed by the rich, and with no climate impacts. But “green” technology is not the solution it is advertised to be. Its expansion to the degree needed to power a growing population at a decent standard of living would itself require a shocking investment in fossil (化石) fuels. It also requires massive mining operations, many of which take place on the backs of low-wage workers in Africa where it is driving destruction of rainforests critical to the survival of great apes. Besides, it requires 10 times the land area as fossil fuel plants for the same amount of energy generated. When global warming threatens to push billions into unsafe temperatures, it is no time to panic that we are adding fewer to those billions. In fact, declining birth rates should be cause for celebration as they signify advances in gender equality and a reduced burden on Earth. 32. What can we learn from paragraph 2? A. The global population is decreasing every year. B. The benefits of an aging society are overlooked. C. The ecological environment is turning for the better. D. The media make up misleading news about the population. 33. What is highlighted as a disadvantage of high birth rates? A. Reduced infrastructure needs. B. Challenges in senior care services. C. A slowdown in economic growth. D. Increased greenhouse gas emissions. 34. Why is “green” technology questioned in the text? A. It does damage to the ecosystem. B. It is not popular around the world. C. It is unaffordable for poor regions. D. It has little effect on reducing pollution. 35. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Aging Societies: A Global Crisis B. The Mystery of “Green” Technology C. The Trend of Population Growth D. Declining Birth Rates: A Hopeful Sign 【答案】32. B 33. D 34. A 35. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是人口高出生率的危害以及出生率降低带来的积极影响。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“This is a positive development, but is often described as a “crisis” in the media, highlighting economic and senior care challenges.(这是一个积极的发展，但媒体经常将其描述为“危机”，强调经济和老年人护理方面的挑战。)”以及下文中介绍的人口老龄化带来的积极影响被人们忽略的事实可知，在第二段我们了解到的是老龄化社会的好处被人们忽略。故选B项。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“And the consequences of high birth rates are severe. Among them is global warming.(高出生率的后果是严重的。其中之一就是全球变暖。)”以及下文中介绍的高出生率导致排放量增加的情况可知，高出来率的缺点是造成温室气体排放增加。故选D项。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中的“Its expansion to the degree needed to power a growing population at a decent standard of living would itself require a shocking investment in fossil (化石) fuels. It also requires massive mining operations, many of which take place on the backs of low-wage workers in Africa where it is driving destruction of rainforests critical to the survival of great apes.(它的扩张要达到为不断增长的人口提供体面生活所需的程度，本身就需要对化石燃料(化石)进行惊人的投资。它还需要大规模的采矿作业，其中许多是在非洲的低工资工人的支持下进行的，这正在破坏对类人猿生存至关重要的热带雨林。)”可知，“绿色”技术的扩张需要对化石燃料进行大量投资，大规模的采矿作业，破坏了对类人猿生存至关重要的热带雨林，由此可知，“绿色”技术被质疑的原因是它破坏了生态环境。故选A项。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文内容及最后一段中“In fact, declining birth rates should be cause for celebration as they signify advances in gender equality and a reduced burden on Earth.(事实上，出生率下降应该是值得庆祝的，因为它们标志着性别平等的进步和地球负担的减轻)”可知，本文主要讨论了出生率下降的积极意义，所以D选项“出生率下降：一个充满希望的迹象”概括全文主题，适合作为最佳标题。故选D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。 How to charge an electric vehicle (EV) is one of the biggest concerns people have when working out whether going electric is right for them. It is true that sometimes gaining access to reliable charging can seem a bit tricky. ____36____ First, download an app with a comprehensive map of the public charging points showing their locations, how powerful they are, and whether they’re working. All this is vital information because, even if you have public charging points nearby, you will need alternatives in case they’re in use.____37____ A growing number of property owners are renting out their charging points and drive ways to other local EV drivers when they’re not using them.____38____ Thus, your car gets charged, the owners make money, and emissions are reduced. ____39____ For example, when your car is running out of juice, you’d just pull up to a battery-change station from your car brand and sit in the car while a fully charged unit is changed in. The Chinese EV brand Nio does this, but isn’t available in the UK as yet. For now, if charging access remains difficult for you, it’s still possible to go electric—in part.____40____ Many hybrid (混合) cars are now good for 50 miles of electric running before you need to use the engine. So, if most of your driving is local, you might only need to find a charger once or twice a week, while you have the backup of a fuel engine for long journeys. A. But it may be easier than you think. B. It actually worked out much cheaper. C. There are also other innovative ways to get your EV going. D. A plug-in EV combines a petrol engine with a smaller battery. E A “fast” charger usually takes eight hours to fully charge an EV. F. So you need to get a good feel for where your nearest points are. G. You can find a map of homeowners whose charging points are available. 【答案】36. A 37. F 38. G 39. C 40. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一些给电动汽车找到可靠的充电电源的方法。 【36题详解】 根据上文“It is true that sometimes gaining access to reliable charging can seem a bit tricky.(的确，有时获得可靠的充电似乎有点棘手。)”和下文介绍的方法可知，上文提到获取可靠的充电可能会有点棘手，而下文则给出了解决这个问题的方法，因此可以推断出，虽然获取充电可能有些困难，但实际上可能比你想象的要容易一些。A项：But it may be easier than you think.(但这可能比你想象的要容易。)符合语境。故选A。 【37题详解】 根据上文“All this is vital information because, even if you have public charging points nearby, you will need alternatives in case they’re in use.(所有这些都是至关重要的信息，因为即使你附近有公共充电点，你也需要替代品以防它们被使用。)”可知，上文提到，即使附近有公共充电点，你也需要备用方案以防它们被占用。因此，你需要了解最近的充电点的位置，以便在需要时能够找到它们。F项：So you need to get a good feel for where your nearest points are.(所以你需要对离你最近的充电点有一个很好的了解。)符合语境。故选F。 【38题详解】 根据上文“A growing number of property owners are renting out their charging points and drive ways to other local EV drivers when they’re not using them.(越来越多的业主在不使用充电点和车道时将其出租给其他当地电动汽车司机。)”可知，上文提到越来越多的业主将其充电点和车道出租给其他本地电动车司机，因此可以推断出需要一种方式来找到这些可用的充电点。G项：You can find a map of homeowners whose charging points are available.(你可以在地图上找到有充电站的房主。)符合语境。故选G。 【39题详解】 根据下文“For example, when your car is running out of juice, you’d just pull up to a battery-change station from your car brand and sit in the car while a fully charged unit is changed in.(例如，当你的车没电了，你只需把车停在你的汽车品牌的电池更换站，坐在车里等待充满电的电池更换。)”可知，下文提到了换电站的例子，说明除了上文提到的充电方法，还有其他创新的方式可以让电动车充电后行驶。C项：There are also other innovative ways to get your EV going.(还有其他创新的方法可以让你的电动汽车行驶起来。)符合语境。故选C。 【40题详解】 根据上文“For now, if charging access remains difficult for you, it’s still possible to go electric-in part.(就目前而言，如果充电对你来说仍然很困难，在某种程度上，还是有可能使用电动汽车的。)”可知，上文提到，如果充电仍然困难，仍然有可能选择使用电动车。而D选项提到的插电式电动汽车（plug-in EV）正好符合这种描述，它结合了汽油发动机和较小的电池。D项：A plug-in EV combines a petrol engine with a smaller battery.(插入式电动汽车将汽油发动机和较小的电池结合在一起。)符合语境。故选D。 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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Have you ever heard of and seen Canadian geese?

Interestingly, after a short while, a truck roared past their feast, disturbing their ___49___ conversation. The two geese were equally ___50___ by the massive “monster”, thus giving up their conversation. Would they start quarreling again? I stood still, ___51___ the ridiculous question and waited. Beyond my expectation, right after the truck’s passing by, the two geese immediately lost their ___52___for quarreling as if they had forgotten all about what had happened. Even the two turned around and left the ___53___ in opposite directions as if nothing had happened. They left only me there, imagining what might have happened without the ___54___. They got along harmoniously again. Sometimes it’s not that bad to be ___55___. 41. A. draw on B. focus on C. feed on D. try on 42. A. desire B. reputation C. affection D. appetite 43.

Tom was 10 and Nathan was 8,the two of whom were closely bonded, unlike some other siblings who would often fight over small things. Except for one thing, cleaning! One sunny morning, Martha called out to her children,“ Tom and Nathan, it’s time to clean your room!” The kids sighed deeply. Cleaning their room was always a chore they disliked. Unwillingly, Tom and Nathan made their way to their messy room. Toys were scattered all over the floor, clothes were piled up on chairs, and books were haphazardly (随意的) piled on the shelves. It was a complete mess! Mom entered,“ Oh, my! This room is a disaster zone! We need to work together to clean it up.” Tom and Nathan exchanged looks, clearly not pleased with the task at hand. They had a history of arguing, especially when it came to cleaning their room. Mom, sensing their unwillingness, reminded the kids,” A clean room not only look snice but also helps us find things easily. It’s important to take care of our belongings and keep our surroundings clean.” The boys didn’t respond, seemingly thinking about something. Jeff, who was passing by, overheard the dialogue and decided to lend a hand. He decided to take a different approach. He said, “I understand that cleaning can be boring, but what if we turn it into a fun challenge? Let’s see who can find the most interesting item hidden in this messy room. The winner gets to choose what we have for dessert tonight!” Tom and Nathan’s eyes lit up with excitement. They loved a good challenge, especially when there was a delicious reward involved. They eagerly accepted their father’s proposal and began searching for hidden treasures. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右; 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 They started by picking up the toys and organizing them into respective boxes. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Slowly but surely, the rom began to look tidier. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: They started by picking up the toys and organizing them into respective boxes. Tom started rummaging through a pile of clothes and discovered an old comic book that he had been searching for weeks. Nathan, on the other hand, found a missing puzzle piece buried under a stack of papers. The boys couldn’t contain their excitement as they continued their search. As they explored the room, they stumbled upon forgotten treasures, like a shiny rock, a long-lost action figure, and a secret stash of candies. Each discovery brought laughter and joy, making the cleaning process more enjoyable than they had ever imagined. Slowly but surely, the room began to look tidier. Father watched with delight as his plan unfolded. He saw her boys working together, helping each other find hidden gems, and laughing along the way. With each item they found, Tom and Nathan grew more motivated. After what seemed like hours of searching and cleaning, the boys finally declared their search complete. The room was now tidy, and their treasures were proudly displayed on the shelves. Mom entered the room, amazed at the transformation. As promised, Mom let the boys choose their favorite dessert for the night. They happily enjoyed their treats, savoring the victory that came from working together and turning a ordinary task into a memorable experience. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了玛莎和她的丈夫杰夫在乡下有一所漂亮的房子，但他们的孩子汤姆和内森总是不喜欢打扫房间。最后经过打扫，房间变得整洁，清理过程也比他们想象的更愉快。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“他们先拿起玩具，把它们放进各自的盒子里”可知，第一段可描写他们打扫的经过以及感受。 ②由第二段首句内容“慢慢地但肯定地，房间开始看起来更整洁了”可知，第二段可描写房间打扫整洁，他们也有了一次难忘的经历。 2.续写线索：开始整理——发现丢失的物品——带来快乐——房间整洁——得到奖励——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 抑制：contain /hold back 寻找：search for/look for 展示：display/show 情绪类 惊讶：amazed /surprised 快乐：joy /happiness 【点睛】[高分句型1] Tom started rummaging through a pile of clothes and discovered an old comic book that he had been searching for weeks.
